good idea close call for brazil's two presidential favorites says the race to lead one of the world's fastest growing economies is forced into a runoff also this hour. president has interests not only go beyond diplomatic sent downright indecent president but better as the anti russian hysteria among top officials in belarus but hopes the positive relations between the two countries will stand firm. while britain's leading coalition party gets together to talk money troubles a conference for english sounds the alarm over a loss of civil rights in the domineering e.u. . and according thailand it rejects america's call to drop new charges against suspected russian arms dealer big to boot which again stalls us extradition

proceedings. this is our team from moscow it's a very good to have you company this hour on kevin with the top stories and brazilians are having trouble choosing their next leader despite a push by the outgoing president to line up a successor to seth fell just short of becoming the country's first female president in the first round so she now faces opposition leader just a setter in the race for the top party's loyalists and reports tonight from. brazil is one of the only countries who has managed its way out of the financial crisis and to a growing a quick clip that other countries would envy their expected to grow seven point five per cent this year it's the largest economy in south america the largest a second largest economy in the western hemisphere and part of the bric bloc of

brazil russia india and china there seem to symbolize the shift in global economic power from the g seven developed nations to the developing world of which all of them are newly advanced economies that are seen as holding great potential so certainly everyone is looking to this election to see what direction the leader will take if you talk to people in the political world who deal in diplomacy or trade or the economy they say before lula brazil had a self confidence program problem and he was really the first leader who stepped up to the international plate and said we are a player and we are going to matter and really held court diplomatically and broker trade ties but if you talk to people at home and hear what brazilians what average brazilians i would say his crowning achievement is is helping to narrow the vast gap between the rich and poor in this country and to get a better sense of that and what they were hoping for we've been out here in brazil reporting and here's a look at what's going on. on the streets of brazil

after eight years of this like a miracle because he. has spread pretty close to the people people lined up to decide the next chapter benteke out i hope that the female candidate a woman to make history in my country that is summed up the loudest voice on the streets and in the polls ahead of the elections for a new head of state while many credit the outgoing one. was starting a silent revolution for the poor. ahead of election day was heard loud and clear they believe his handpicked successor is the one to continue fighting for and. she is duma rousseff lulu's choice for president a little known bureaucrat his. if of staff who rose up to against the dictatorship when she was young i she promises to lead the country down the same road as her mentor get them what's changed in this last years is in the poor neighborhoods for the lower class because the other governments just pretended to help it's lula

brazil's president that brings all of these people into the street it's his name they're screaming but as to whether jill that his successor would be able to continue what he started in this country when you talk to people they believe one hundred percent that she is the one what you want with brazil is going to continue to rise though his confidence has helped popularity some activists familiar with lula's politics past and present aren't convinced record for i think she's going to have some difficulties because dylan doesn't have the same history lula has and in a country that was long a colony and where the years until lead the rich and elite still held the power for some in that world a dilma presidency would be. terrible for me terrible without horizons very sad and black horizons the exhibition was you have to have people with academic culture and not popular culture in upscale neighborhoods is the leading opposition candidate who most closely fits that description and appears favored at those polls jose

serra is a more conservative choice. you know so i use a little government has been constantly role he's aligned himself with people who are democratic. hugo chavez. but in this brazil what you don't see or hear a. thing is the brazil that is in power a world you see now in the favelas the slums we're looking from and both of those it's important for you to be able to choose the future of your country once invisible to the world now one able to with more do much better they may have people who before lula had no voice may now continue writing their. lauren mr r. t. cell paulo brazil. brazil could be just the breath of fresh air that the developed countries of the west need borders meting are from the russian academy of sciences latin american institution thinks it emerging powers have what it takes to beat the

challenges of the modern day world international situation and the end of world search may be need some new blood some new ideas some new structures and you have brought us to the foreign policy will be international relations because of the quantity and quality of the karim global problems us two point zero urgently their ways and means to resolve those problems and i think that all of the developed countries all of the west as such is no longer able to resolve those problems alone we must absorb some new ways of thinking new philosophy new ideas and i think every positive ground in the mortgage interest or illusion of the rising of the church countries of brazil china india and russia of course more of our top stories tonight has been whipping up some anti russian

sentiment of late so prism advantage is now trying to clear the air using cyberspace in an online video movement of says that the better russian leader is using aggressive talk towards moscow to bolster his presidential election campaign r.t. sarah ferguson took a closer look. then his bloke we can hear president. making specific reference to the election campaign in batteries and saying that is based almost entirely on entourage and slogans and i can say shouldn't russia's own willingness to provide support and also direct criticism to the russian leadership so the person misstated his use his behavior in the past often to deal with the school topics such as this and this time we've heard him using it as over stones to the belly button leadership such as ations and actions recently his main point being that really rather than making an enemy of russia they'd be much better place to be focusing on their internal issues but if. president lukashenko is entering this not only go

beyond any diplomatic scent they're downright indecent he's obviously concerned about a lot of things to our economy russian journalists talking about a russian opposition even what happens to some of our retired and some time officials the president. should be looking into the interior affairs of his own country such as for instance the multiple disappearances have been russian citizens but it's russia like other countries is concerned over these people and actually this is being described as a feature of batteries in leadership at this creation of an external enemy in the public consciousness that the worse in the past this is easy directed at the u.s. and the west in general at this time it seems as russia has become the main target another thing that person would address in his book he talks about the fact that the better russian people are still considered russia's closest neighbors and that he be good. to see a shared culture and he also makes it very clear that despite the tensions the

topic recently with things such as augustus meeting with some other russia has provided support both in the past and we. i'm deeply convinced that russia always has and will consider to be the key. looses to its neighbors we are united by a long shared history culture common joys and grief good neighborhood has been the reason we've been helping belarus ever since the fall of the soviet union twenty years ago the scope of our aid effort no matter what people might say has been huge this year alone we've made discounts on those shipments to buy the roost worth approximately two billion dollars in total shipments to have been subject to committal concessions the reason we did that was because we sincerely believe that our nations were inseparable this is why i was extremely surprised to see the brunt of russian authorities taken up until russian rhetoric. in the summer thought to be one of the main problems that of course is suddenly suddenly

going over relations between valorise and russia and we know that what happened there was barely starting to cut off transit routes for the supply of oil and gas and search essentially that she was result but it's certainly one of the things that seem to have given rise to the sudden increase in this anti russian with toric over the overall point the person making this book as he was saying much better was making an enemy of russia to be focusing on the problems internally. i see sarah first reporting there from moscow president richard is a full video blog by the way is on our website right now if you'd like to catch up with that is that r.t. dot com you dress also become a month in the arctic a massive expedition is heading for the north pole to explore the consequences of climate change there and our team is on board read the blog updates online tonight if you fancy to catch up with that as well while you're visiting our teeth dot com .

the criminal court in thailand has rejected a request by the u.s. to drop a second set of charges against alleged russian arms dealer to boot the decision dennis washington's plan is to have the man extradited to the u.s. to face trial on terrorism related charges and you'll hear is expected to begin in bangkok on october the fifth marty sean thomas has been following the recent developments. the united states has been trying to get adventure boot and have him extradited to the united states for quite some time in fact since two thousand and eight in march when he was arrested in a hotel in bangkok and in fact in august august twentieth of this year the high court in thailand said that it was possible for booth to be extradited so it looked like everything was set for the united states if convicted in those states on the charges that he was indicted for the boot would be receiving

a life imprisonment however has a back up plan because this is an international crime an international courts are where have you is kind of a political chess game as a backup plan just in case the high court did not rule in the united states favor us filed extra charges and it's those extra charges that are hampering the things at this moment in time because of the high court ruled that the victor boot should be extradited to the united states asked if those second charges could then be dropped so that they could expedite the process however a court ruled that those charges cannot be dropped because they are now part of the court system in thailand right now so it's a waiting game and what we do know is that it delays the entire process victor boot is a former air force officer who claims he is a legitimate businessman but he's a long been suspected of being one of the most notorious and prolific arms dealers in the world in supplying arms to different conflict zones around the world in fact he's nicknamed the merchant of death by some now in two thousand and eight in march

in bangkok there was a sting operation where u.s. agents posed as far as members to buy arms from him at that point he was arrested but he was arrested in thailand which started this process to have him extradited to the united states. thomas the investigative journalist daniel estulin has interviewed vick to boot in time and he says that even though further delays could work in boots favor the chances for his legal team to win are quite slim. you have ninety days from the twentieth of august for the united states government to extradite victor wood and now with a new charges being put against bulled this could actually delay the proceedings because even if to morrow the judges rule against bolt and by all looks it actually they i think they will because today's developments at the core of the judges were very much against. and five and they agreed to postpone the case until to morrow where again there is going to be no witnesses just we are the reading of the decision on the second set of charges of the united states government that said the defense team can theoretically appeal so back with me actually take it beyond the

initial ninety days i talked to my people in the state department today in the united states are watching very very carefully they said that a lot of phone calls have been made this morning from the united states to thailand obviously to the prime minister's office but finally in the development what the mood was brought to court today it was brought of wearing a bulletproof vest protected by thirty commandos government alleges that the russian government is actually trying to assassinate richard bush which is if you want to talk about conspiracy theories this one takes the cake all the way center not of the program we have a marshall master class. in this sport it's just hands and feet and it's not just fun to watch actually a lot of the modes are pretty useful for itself it plans for a girl like me and mission is going to be something. he's going to for a traditional russian technique this spring a fighting spirit stateside right now let's find out as she goes on

a bit later. questions politicians don't like to answer being raised on the sidelines of the u.k. coalition's leading parties conference the freedom zone is anxious over the erosion of civil liberties in the country as well as what it sees as the domination of britain by the e.u. elements in burning out for us the conference is being held. it's hard to imagine. rest in europe in the past week or say of course we remember that we had a summer of relative quiet. european countries all over europe. as a result of the european debt crisis we saw one hundred thousand people gathered in brussels the. islands of. trouble we had.

fifty billion euros the government. that means that they now have a budget deficit ten times. the highest seen any. really for ireland it's crunch time now. or have to go. to the e.u. the i.m.f. . greece is very. very happy to be joined by philip davies he's a conservative party member of parliament just tell me what. effect do you think the irish situation will have on the eurozone as a whole both it will see the collapse of the euro so it goes to show the. countries with different economic circumstances all being forced into the same interest rates that we've seen. to other countries around the world when you get. typical free

school measures to try and. use interest rates to help them do the know will the trick pony they can only use the spending plans and think we see in the beginning of the end of the eurozone because it is fundamentally flawed. if you had china has stepped in to stay invested in the. that's something that. temporarily the things i like in paper over the cracks but it doesn't stop the fundamental flaw in the system having walled interest rate for so many diverse countries possibly. very difficult to have one interest rate for a country like the united kingdom where the economy tends to grow with different rates in the north and the south as a percent you can have one for the whole of the e.u. . for the moment and the effect it's having on society. that's something that you see continuing absolutely be a particularly because people have been forced into this economic political.

against their will in many countries even being. the feeling of powerlessness in the face of the people being forced into something they want to belong to just build. now you advocate for. people here the freedom to saying it's a very good thing. complete withdrawal from the european union is that really a. point in the future for our future prosperity as a. country like china and india south america. africa we do our future. in would face. businesses and. we build. our future as being. the view of. everything. thank you very much for joining us.
