i. stare at the protests and go you know people in the us seem to be taking their hardships seriously look at my. life on the line finally a week to beat russian arms dealer he maybe didn't see it take us custody. garbage good nor moscow's kills are turning into the mountains of trash city will be there are signs of russian capital.

well news around the clock. good to have you with us today we'll talk top stories now protests have raged across europe over government austerity measures the populations are having to pay for others' mistakes meanwhile americans facing similar struggles have shown very little passion compared to the fury displayed overseas pressure that takes and why 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 maintains their liberty in the freedom that we 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 america now the sheer amount of wealth and income in the hands of the very wealthy mean 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 of 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 american 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 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 anytime 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 not going to happen preassure either r. t. washington d.c. . where american economist richard wolfe says it's the historical decline of movements in the u.s. that means struggling and 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 a 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 organisations 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 all social unrest in europe means it's not decision time for some of the countries in the euro zone that's according to john rather with the british m.p. and you're a skeptic. of the food version coming your way in just a few hours time but it 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 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.

relatives of it to boot who is wanted in the u.s. for alleged arms smuggling or expressing fears for his life his wife believes washington is planning to force a confession out of him he comes as a u.s. aircraft carrier arrived in bangkok where he's currently being held she says it's no coincidence he wasn't to really understand that it's possible the extradite him was just lucky mark on some eve craft carrier and forced him to give whatever testimony the u.s. wants him to give i think he'll go as far as it takes to get it and i'm sure everyone understands they're playing to find ways to do these days starting with chemical since i can't you cooper sure. victor boot was arrested in march two thousand and eight and during a call from u.s. led sting operation in august this is where high court decided to extradite him to the u.s. but just before decision washington brought press charges against him delaying the process however earlier today

a court dropped those charges for the mother of the three periods welcomes extradition washington wants a boot on charges of terrorism and supplying arms to colombian rebels have a geisha in his. goodman is a publisher specializing investigative writing he believes that big to boot is stuck in a high stakes game and is unlikely to get a fair trial in the u.s. . i think the thailand tiger 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 so 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 heaping extra charges on one sleeve the original charges were deemed by the tie cord to be political in 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 to be in a prison in another country as they have done with other people so that we don't know the american people don't really know what's going on. they're going to. do it has to be. he says time and american interests these are charted waters and no one really you know as i talk 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 from the united states to thailand obviously to the prime minister's office and this is another part of the this delicious irony of the thai prime minister will be americans are saying is actually working for the mood is actually working for the americans because he's not only he's

a british born but you also hold british passport which means he's obviously subservient to the british or american interests. also the come this hour in a scrape on the vices of life multi-group it's a remote school craze where that's helping hundreds of young people farts with drug addiction by taking them back to nature. showbiz that it's entertainment value of the insel trade it's a nice presentation high production spastically it's graphics use all of this is a way to sort of focus people's attention by using techniques that are associated with that same amount during this war we had nearly the same military entertainment lead.

first. moscow is the biggest city in continental europe and hence faces huge daily challenges over five and a half million tons of waste is produced annually in the capital and a small portion of it is recycled as artesia reports it's a problem that's not so easy to bury. when alexander and his family moved to their flat ten years ago the you from the thirteenth floor was so impressive the whole city 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 to have children it was some to reveal how the characters while i will they be able to live here if these mind terms continue growing if nothing is done this in a city would 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 a hero on the surface dock sick water is drained away from below 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 so well here is off watermelons which people for all weigh them all 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 wheat waste which has to be collected and either destroyed recycled or disposed off the street 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 ruined during the transportation 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 a waste being mixed up in meat and recycle last year the city distributed separate bills. to sort their garbage at least two a week but the economic crisis hit and there wasn't enough money to send separate trucks dedicated to picking up just plastic 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 cordial consequences could be devastating sowing to the russian capital gets 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. moscow time now for some other news making headlines in brief around the world chile's president claims that the thirty three miners trapped underground for two months could be rescued in a couple of weeks experts from around the world have been helping to dig escape shafts through half a mile of walk to freedom that should be a rescue christmas members of the mining union held a protest in the regional capital to moderately paid has been in work at the site since the mines collapse of the beginning of the rest. of the vatican has

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 that 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. at first to fear for my health the first stop taking drugs people at this school told me they'd give me some pills i came here and saw these pills. water and a natural environment even cold water every day and this is better than any medication we enjoy this life with nature around us with drugs that if. you 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 board and this is where students recharge their energy as well as marking the birth of each day with a ring of a bell. but the martian says that his school has no religious element whatsoever. she sounds 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 more violent healing of society. reporting from ukraine's crimea. there's much more on our website that's r.t. dot com features blogs and more. i want to catch your eye right now with the quest

achieving its goal for much type let's move on the channel. that forced this question to the slip of the sports the reason for this conference is you know that the russian government the sick of the presence of such of the goldfields for us to modernize schools and over it's become a constant not simply supply for material through or for the rest of the world. russia will materials is important source for saving lives but it's actually not a very important source of employment so a lot of russia to be socially sustainable country it has to political elsewhere and there were only two ways either subsidize the efficiency of the system all sorts of their protections from government subsidies but there's a sort of doing away with one or the sales of the other ways the water rise rushing on the outside the body will dry out of the raw materials and to make washing the mando material sector provides on a global scale. i have to say that the from the whole of the russian authorities have been for a lot of all this still

a lot of skepticism outside the forces of the say the us as well whether they succeed in doing that to us the experience in the past has not been perceived as successful as russia has them really been made able to or modernize itself and live for that also are there for the years and we didn't want to repeat that experience right. and finance minister couldn't says he expects russia see a lot of capital outflow in two thousand and ten but he sees that turning to an inflow and coming years he also gave his outlook on foreign direct investments there to assume. for a start i should like to emphasize that we the governments are counting on foreign direct investment is used in the past foreign direct investments we've seventy five billion dollars for example in two thousand and eight last year energy i was thirty six billion dollars that's a significant decrease from pre-crisis levels already this is in your words splitting to go over the forty billion dollar market and in the next two years plan
