and to austerity protesting go to europe really us seem to be taking their hardships seriously look at what. life. probably a big brute a russian arms dealer maybe told you the best thing is taking the u.s. custody. garbage good moscow's feels like turning into mountains of trying to feel cold he's been there recycling plans for the russian capital. calling the international investment forum a visit to capitals on the way to moscow with top officials and businessmen to take part you highlights of the program.

costing live from the heart of the russian capital you're watching r.t. now protests have raged across europe over government austerity measures with populations angered that they're having to pay for others' mistakes meanwhile americans facing similar struggles of very little passion compared to the fury displayed overseas should it takes a while europeans are doing better at trying to protect their pockets. it's october two thousand and ten and while things aren't looking too good americans and europeans have reacted to the tough times very differently about this story unfortunately you can't tell from this but only with mass struggle can there be a positive development for the benefit of foreigners or for us to try and make sure a country maintains their liberty in the freedom that it had in the past. countries

across the globe are facing one of the worst economic disasters in recent history fourteen million americans are unemployed one in five people in the united kingdom is living in poverty and more than twenty percent of spain's population can't find work more on equal your society gets the more unequal it usually continues to get because when inequality reaches anything like the levels we see in american male the sheer amount of wealth and income in the hands of the very wealthy means they can begin to buy political parties they can buy whole segments of the house and senate so now world leaders have to decide what to cut and what to keep we've identified substantial savings and in the days and weeks ahead we will continue going through the budget line by line and will identify more than one hundred programs that will be cut or eliminated but it looks like our friends in europe might be one step ahead of us tens of thousands of europeans stormed brussels the location of the headquarters of the european union in response to news participating governments would be fined if they ran up deficits. especially for

countries with debts even more pressure on budget cuts and this means cuts in social area and the public infrastructure and the crisis will end up being paid for by the workers the news that more jobs will be cut pensions frozen and wages lowered fired up the masses there are austerity measures going on in europe and the europeans are pushing back really hard the consequence of those is going to be to reduce the european lifestyle but there there come a no nowhere close to the absolute destruction of middle class that we're seeing in the united states. so why haven't americans taken to the streets over this country's unsettling economic statistics yes we have the tea partiers and the new wave of progressives who have been rallying in response to the tea partiers but many say these americans seem more concerned with getting their theoretical freedoms back rather than specific benefits like wages and retirement funds like what's happening over in europe so i think americans and europeans are in the

street what's kind of very odd is americans are in the street asking for less government help because they've given up on the government and the europeans are in the street asking for more government help because they still believe their situation can be made better by social spending. so what's the solution while many say the united states should look at our good friend the united kingdom that's proposed to cut its military spending by one fifth while some americans believe now is not a good time to decrease funding for social programs some say the u.s. is an enormous military budget of five hundred thirty three billion dollars is the only logical place to make a cut but others say even though it might be a good idea it's not going to happen any time soon the problem is that because our politics are corporate owned in the united states going to the defense budget which is mostly outsourced to defense contractors and saying we're going to cut into that is going to happen preassure either our t. washington d.c.

american economist richard wolfe says it's the historical decline of left wing movements in the us that means that those struggling are left without a voice. it's the decision of the europeans to overcome all of their differences their different cultures and languages in a common struggle against these austerity programs i think in europe for the last thirty years you've had a pretty vibrant trade union movement compared to what we have in this country you have active socialist communist and other radical organizations that analyze what's going on in an ongoing way with daily newspapers and daily of media outlets you have an educated population that can see these issues i think american cv issues but have no organized the basis after the long term decline of our labor movement and our left organizations so it's taking longer in the united states to mobilize because we have to organize from scratch these kinds of groupings and unities the

europeans could rely on their tradition and put them into play much more quickly the europeans are ahead of us they have a clear vision and they have the organizations that clearly can mobilize millions of people in strikes general strikes and manifestations that force the change to put the cost of this crisis on the capitalist enterprises who are most responsible for producing it for social unrest in europe means it's now decision time for some of the countries in the usa that's according to john redwood british and skeptic he gave an interview to watch with a full version coming your way in just about twenty minutes time but has a pretty. i think it's up to the current member states of the euro to come to political conclusions democratic conclusions about how much pain individual countries are prepared to put up with to stay in it and whether they can reach

a better global settlement within the euro zone which perhaps releases a bit of the tension and pressure on spain and portugal and greece and ireland without completely upset in germany. moscow is the biggest city in continental europe around hence faces huge daily challenges over five and a half million tons of waste is produced annually in the capital within a small portion of it is recycled as artie's of a preschooler for ports it's a problem that's not so easy to bury. when alexander and his family moved to their flat ten years ago that you from the thirteenth floor was so impressive the whole city early before them but soon this hump turned into a hill blocking the view of a whole district it became so big they thought it was a new ski resort but instead it turned out to be a mountain of waste but afterward i was shocked i have children someday they'll have cancer as well how will they be able to live here if these mine terms continue

growing if nothing is done to nothing or sixty will be surrounded by them this is how it works first a giant pit is dug in the ground the waste is distributed in isolated layers eventually creating on the surface dock sick water is drained away from go and gases are taken away by specially designed wipes authorities insist the technology is eco friendly but let's face it it leaves a stinky present for future generations. i've actually walking on top of around thirteen million tons of trash interestingly at the moment the so-called seasonal swell here is off watermelons which people for all weigh them off this time of year trucks come and go every minute while monster bulldozers flatten the waste into layers and at the end all of this is going to walk like an ordinary hill just like that green area over there. moscow annually produces at least five and

a half million tons of waste waste which has to be collected and either destroyed recycled or disposed off the state company responsible for that owns two huge pits wheezed burning factories and sorting stations but still it's only able to recycle fifteen percent of the waste it collects most of the trash which could be recycled is rude during the transportation to sorting stations garbage trucks press waste to collect more so everything is really mixed together that's why we recycle so little in the end. to prevent to waste being mixed up in meat and recycle last year the city distributed separate bins enabling muscovites to sort their garbage as they threw it away but the economic crisis hit and there wasn't enough money to send separate trucks dedicated to picking up just glass black stick or people which were all mixed up anyway so the experiment was trashed this is money which is being thrown away most of the waste which could be reused is lost the whole system needs

to be changed or the consequences could be devastating so on to the russian capital get its recycling act together millions of tons of waste will continue to be hidden from sight to be for future generations to deal with tomorrow you've got this kind of moscow. to come this hour to skate from the vices of life party visits every night school things crimea that's helping hundreds of them by drug addiction by taking them back to. relatives of the alleged russian arms dealer to boot her expressing fears for his life his wife believes the u.s. is planning to force a confession out of him comes as a u.s. aircraft carrier arrived in bangkok the first time ever he says it's no coincidence he wasn't already unstable but it's quite possible the extradite him just lucky mark on some aircraft carrier and force him to give whatever testimony the u.s.

wants him to give i think they'll go as far as it takes to get it and i'm sure everyone understands they're playing to face to do it these days starting with chemical sense psychological pressure. fascinating banco us that's right we noticed this year a thai court decided to extradite him to the u.s. but just before that decision washington brought fresh charges against the. news just going to hold his roof so cool believe it or not behind the table to the u.s. on those charges of fraud and money laundering the previous initial decision on his extradition however may remain orse washington wants boots on charges of terrorism and supplying arms to colombian rebels i think he denies. well goodman is a publisher specializing in investigative writing he believes it is stuck in a high stakes game and he's unlikely to get a fair trial in the u.s.

i think the thailand government is kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place obviously they're being played in as just pieces in an international game between russia and america. but they don't want to seem as if they were pressured by america even though they have been that's why i think they're waiting for this whole thing to play out all the way through the courts and of course it was america's own fault for adding keeping extra charges on one sleeve the original charges were deemed by the tykwer to be political to nature and there wasn't even a minimal amount of evidence to convict due to anything but america has promised thailand's fighter jets and cheap oil if the decision goes their way if he's next great to america and stands trial in america itself i think then. everything will be in public but probably what might happen is that they would like to extradite him but not have them face trial in america but being in a prison in another country. as they have done with other people so that we don't

know so america people don't really know what's going on get a journalist daniel a student has interviewed victims in the cell he says time and american interests. these are unchartered waters and no one really knows i talked to my people in the state department today in the united states who are watching very very carefully they said that a lot of phone calls have been made from the united states to thailand obviously to the prime minister's office and this is another part of the dis delicious irony of the thai prime minister who be americans are saying is actually working for the book is actually working for the americans because he's not only is a british born but he also holds british passport which means he's obviously subservient to the british or american interests. now that look at some other news making headlines around the globe. chile's president claims that the fifty three miners trapped underground for two months could be rescued rescue fortnight experts from around the world have been helping to dig escape shelfs threw off

what it's been described as a healing for both body and mind a school in ukraine's crimea has found the recipe for helping troubled youths kick drug addiction and get their lives back on track let's see our share ski reports. i look safe from ukraine's crimea enjoys his new life and gathering honey is one of his favorite hobbies this man now finds it hard to believe but less than a year ago he was barely alive alexy was a drug addict until friends told him of a special school tucked away deep in the crimean mountains. but first to fear for my health the first stop taking drugs people at the school told me they'd give me some pills they came here and saw these pills. water and a natural environment in cold water every day and this is better than any medication we enjoy this life with nature around us with drugs.

opened in the mid nine hundred ninety s. the dragon tiger school became the first of its kind in ukraine over the past decade it has helped several hundred young people to escape from drug addiction its director says they use only natural methods to bring us back to a normal life but there but go to the main mission of the school is to bring men back to nature of humanity departed from nature and started stagnating integrate youths with basic elements like earth wind water and fire we want them to live just like our ancestors lived respecting the good of nature completely self-sufficient. at first glance the school looks like a buddhist monastery watching the physical exercises which students do they look more like martial arts. and one corner of the school's grounds leaves almost no doubt about its absence this is the spiritual heart of the school

a piece of meteorite sits on a buddhist peristyle and this is where students recharge their energy as well as marking the birth of each day with a ring of a bell. but finally the martian says that his school has no religious element whatsoever. she's in a fight against. all faiths can offer good solutions the school provides diverse means of self reconstruction regardless of a person's religious conviction if you. both physical practice and spiritual exercises we develop both body and soul we want to students to understand that their fate is in their own hands so we also educate them we have an extensive library and we do translations of historic books. from just several followers in the mid ninety's the dragon tiger school has now more than two hundred students it is not financed by the state but its director says there are enough benefactors to

aid their cause the cause which he describes as a natural nonviolent healing of society. reporting from ukraine's crimea. on our website www dot com you can find videos features blogs and much more. right now. but the quest to find the mascot two thousand and fourteen picks well on the way we have a look at some of the full submissions behind the. mind reading web browser see what the future holds the search engines and maybe what you want to do all this in mortality dot com.

to encourage more foreign companies come here to russia and invest also in flu cooperation so this lace will be hearing from prime minister vladimir putin on his thoughts but now i'd like to hear the opinions of someone else's alexei boys they have joins me now from the t.v. captain thanks very much for speaking to us this hour one of the panel discussions is russia on the call to innovation a modern my station how important do you feel events such as this forum here on achieving its goal multics very much by blitz was there any attempts. to force this question to the slip the time of the course of the year was for this conference with all the russian government possible the presence of suck up the call to for us to modernize schools and over to the government sponsored not simply supply for materials through for the rest of the world and for its water woman cereal some for the source but serving as the system or the or the source of one so

a lot of rusts be the source of the sustainable country it has to play with it's there and there are you on the choice by the subsidise the fees of the swiss through all sorts of their affections some government subsidies but there's a song if you are in the middle of the sales to the level where you saw was a nice person on our side of the year with a lot of the materials used them to make washing more of the material so the birds of the city of their have said that the goal of the russian authorities have been for them or the ball there's still a lot of surfaces and also the forces of the civil rights as well as whether they see fit in the photos the experience in the past has not been pursued. system this was system really believed to be able to authorize itself to live for liberals are there for years and we did that it's history and it isn't injured still delegates government officials business leaders coming from all over the world to hear peace till the discussions and then it's like the suspension of the slippery slope to the sleeve of hope the holder will such the offensive that the little big part of the

conference is still sort of visible on the wires or is this one of only two states since there's a congress the congress or one or it's between us or sort of corporate it just means you don't in the form is this is to say that they then put them to each other . with all this b.s. if you can present there in order for people to actually meet to talk to each other and hopefully end up in also some history resorts so as i mention now this claim seem all going on here the next couple days to be to be a capital investment for me and many other people get chewed seeds are here and there. are states to bring you the latest in to get state. and food prices continue to drive up inflation after the summer droughts it reached zero point eight percent in september pushing the annual inflation rate to seven percent so far there are concerns that consumer prices will go will grow above official forecast this year september growth was driven mainly by food prices in particular this related to buckwheat and eggs the price of eggs jumped around

thirty percent in more than fifty russian regions. and staying with the four that we spoke about earlier russia's finance minister aleksey could in says he expects russia see a modest capital flow in two thousand and ten but he sees that turning to an inflow in coming years he also gave a gave his outlook on foreign direct investments. but a very sort of shoot them that i'd like to emphasize that we the government are counting on foreign direct investment in the past foreign direct investments reached seventy five billion dollars for example in two thousand and eight last year f.d.r. was thirty six billion dollars that's a significant decrease from pre-crisis levels already this year we're expecting to go over the forty billion dollar mark and in the next two years you plan to reach fifty billion dollars of foreign direct investments into the russian economy.

turning into currencies now the ruble is like a high against the dollar but it tipped against the euro a strong oil prices supporting the rule but has not driven that much higher have a pullback of h.s.b.c. expects the russian currency to remain stable and then a term. the market was a little bit spooked by some of the trade in the balance of payments data which came out of russia and it helped push the ruble a little bit lower but that said we think it's going to trade relatively stable versus the basket at least for the next the next few months will really come to realize over the last few months is that you know the euro was excessively sold by the market particularly back in may and i think we've come to realize that that was a bit excessive and that's been on winding and why the year was partly holding up is because by default it's not by merit like you say there's a lot of bad things going on in the eurozone and i think really you have to save yourself that the fed is on the cusp of doing more quantitative easing but the e.c.b. is not going to and that's again the key reason why the euro is holding up reasonably

well at present. let's take a look at how the markets are doing asian markets and make this our japan stocks jump off to the bank and kind of benchmark interest rates and pledge to expand its balance sheet by sixteen trillion dollars to shore up the nation's slowing economic recovery hong kong shares are trading lower as well now in europe stocks edged higher on tuesday thanks to the retail sector that's up there you can close with tesco with four of a stronger than expected profit for the first of the year tesco shares climbed one and half percent and trading weakness with mining stocks though and something naturals are acting as a brake on the main indices and here in moscow. trading higher most of the blue chips are trading in the black watching the trend is down twenty percent. third largest steelmaker. expectations for second quarter results.
