life on the line the family of the derby the alleged russian arms dealer currently in jail in thailand fear he may be forced into confessing if taken into u.s. custody. as anti austerity protest engulfed europe people in the us seem to be taking very hard steps less seriously we look at why. and garbage go more moscow's landfills are turning into mountains of trash a city of barty's been there was likely plans for the russian capital.
7:03 am
that's three pm in moscow and this is artsy coming to you live with me and sanaa way first stop relatives of victor boot who is wanted in the u.s. for alleged arms smuggling are expressing fears for his life his wife believes the washington is planning to force a confession out of him it comes after a u.s. aircraft carrier arrived in bangkok where he is currently being held he says it's no coincidence when he was and was already unstable but it's quite possible there likes to dine him and just look him up on some aircraft carrier and force him to give whatever testimony the u.s. once you give i think they'll go as far as to get it and i'm sure everyone understands they're playing to face to do these days starting to mingle since psychological pressure. well earlier today a thai court cleared the way for boots possible extradition when it dismissed new charges of money laundering and fraud against him these charges had to lay decision taken in august to hand him over to the u.s. where he's accused of terrorism and supplying arms to colombian rebels allegations
7:04 am
who do not use the so-called merchant of death was arrested in march two thousand and eight in bangkok in an american led sting operation. well kind goodman is a publisher specializing in investigative writing he believes victor boot is stuck in a high stakes game and is 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 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 keeping extra charges on once the the original charges were deemed by the thai court to be political the nature and there wasn't even a minimal amount of evidence to convict on anything but america has promised thailand
7:05 am
fighter jets and cheap oil if the decision goes their way if he's brought it 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 the american people don't really know what's going on. this is r t coming to you live from moscow still to come through this hour in this case. life are to visit a remote school in crane's crimea that's helping hundreds of young people fight drug addiction i take you to meet. the protests have raged across europe over government austerity measures with populations anger they're having to pay for others' mistakes meanwhile americans facing similar struggles have shown very little passion compared to the fury displayed overseas or takes
7:06 am
a look at 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 workers or for us to try to make sure a country 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 unequal 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 means they can begin to buy political parties they can buy whole segments of the house and senate
7:07 am
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 they're they're coming no nowhere close to the absolute destruction
7:08 am
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 enormous military budget of five hundred thirty three billion dollars is the
7:09 am
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 say we're going to cut into that it's not 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 those struggling are now 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
7:10 am
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 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. social unrest in europe means it's now this isn't time for some
7:11 am
of the countries in the euro zone that's according to john redwood a british m.p. and euro skeptic he gave an interview to r.t. the full version is coming your way next hour but here's a preview. 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. moscow is the biggest city in continental europe and hence faces huge daily challenges over five and a half million tons of waste is produce annually in the capital but only a small portion of it is recycled. now reports it's
7:12 am
a problem that's not so easy to bury. when alexander and his family moved to their frantic ten years ago that you from the thirteenth floor it was so impressive the whole city early before them but soon this hump turned into a hill blocking the view of the 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 i will they be able to live here if these mine terms continue growing if nothing is done soon for city 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 hugo and gases are taken away by specially designed wipes authorities insist on the deep knowledge eco friendly but let's face it it leaves a stinky present for future generations. i was actually walking on top of around
7:13 am
thirteen million tons of trash interestingly at the moment the so-called seasonal smell here is off watermelons which people for all weigh them off this time of year trucks come and go everywhere they go while monster bulldozers flattening 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 ruined during the transportation to sorting stations garbage trucks press waste
7:14 am
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 and made. last year the city distributed separate bins. 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 be going up just blasting 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 used as lost the whole system needs to be changed or doogue logical consequences could be devastating so on 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 got this going to moscow. let's take a look now at some other stories dominating world news this hour chile's president claims that the thirty three miners trapped underground for two months could be
