life on the line of my court dismisses fresh charges against our legs on the stool and victor boot will become a stop closer towards absent this into the us as well which is fear of the quick judgment that put away. all europeans cry out against getting crossed by tax spikes and pay costs the same troubles in that you ask can't seem to cope americans. and amount of trouble what happened moscow's garbage problem as the trucks piled up the city says it had that recycling plants on the ground. the international investment forum of the capital is underway in moscow with top officials and business representatives taking part will be bringing you the

highlights of the event in our business program. or welcome to you live from our studios in central moscow this is with me and use in our way it's four pm here in the russian capital seven pm in bangkok thailand where relatives of russian businessman victor boot who is wanted by the u.s. for alleged arms smuggling say they fear for his life it's wife believes washington is planning to force her husband to give them the testimony they need if he's extradited to america only was with him still 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. wants him to give i think he'll go as far as it takes to get it and i'm sure everyone understands their plane to fly to do these days. since psychological

pressure. well under time i log on to legal team no has thirty days to appeal the latest criminal court decision earlier on tuesday you cleared the way for the business about possible extradition to discuss a new claims of money laundering improv against him those charges delayed a decision taken in august to head them over to the rest where he's accused of terrorism on supplying arms to colombian rebels allegations montes the so-called merchant of death was arrested in march two thousand and eight in bangkok in an american led sting goodman a publisher specializing in investigative writing believes victor boot is stuck in a high stakes game and is a likely to get a fair trial in the us. 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 heaping extra charges on once they had 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 due to anything but america has promised thailand fighter jets and cheap oil if the decision goes their way if he's extradited to america and stands trial in america itself i think then everything will be in public but probably you but 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. europeans deeply anger angry rather over their governments cutting welfare benefits while hiking taxes are making their voices heard with wow protests across the continent they say they don't want to pay for the mistakes of politicians and bankers yet americans facing similar struggles are showing the same passion and fury. riya sen looks 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 foreigners or for us to try to make sure country maintains their liberty in the freedom that you 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 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 butt. there coming 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 could 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. well american economist richard wolf says europe still has a strong will to the left and they believe strikes and protests but that's all but disappeared in the u.s. leaving those who are struggling with. 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. this is our team live from moscow absolute for you a way to escape the destructive power of drug abuse these addicts are rebalancing their lives using the power of nature to defeat their minutes. but first the u.k.'s ministry of defense has admitted that electronic records of its soldiers day to day activities in afghanistan are tamely wiped from computers while moyer has already said it smacks of a cover up disclosures were made at the public inquiry into the death of an iraqi hotel receptionist. died from multiple injuries were in the custody of british soldiers in two thousand and three to investigate vesta geisha is being made harder by a lack of official records which could confirm commanders orders or who was in position at a certain time and m o d statement to the inquiry said there are gaps in the information

because i two systems are routinely wiped when returned from operational deployments. now feel sinar now joins me he's from the public interest lawyers in the u.k. which represents more than a hundred iraqis who were british soldiers. thank you for joining us mr shiner now why should the lack of electronic data be such a problem can't the inquiry call to question any soldier suspected of abuse the military will still know which soldiers of course were there and won't know the fine detail. all the electronic communications. between iraq and. coaches. it's critical that all of those disclosed in the two inquiries that. the first in the book. and the second is an inquiry into an alleged.

may two thousand and four that's called the swede inquiry and in that case the court has already heard that critically important emails and photographs on two laptops were thrown by a relevant intelligence officer of across funnel cross-channel ferry into the sea thus destroying them now that shouldn't be happening and the ministry of defense must disclose all the relevant emails and communications. how do we know about those relatives emails rather and those kind of fine details which many people are saying have been wiped out. we know that. because we have them disclosed into the bottomless inquiry whether we're all of them disclose we don't know but we don't know why in the other inquiry the house we do inquiry they

met mr defense refused to disclose any emails whatsoever and as i say critically important computers were destroyed by throwing him into the sea. accusations of abuse have been running for years now why hasn't this come to light before in previous investigations well it has all come to light. in the death of a noose was known about. in september two thousand and three what's happened since is that the ministry of defense have tried everything in their power to cover all of this up in every in every way they could including just refusing to disclose any relevant serial it's a court cases. it's coming to light now because those efforts of the mission to france to cover this are. being uncovered themselves and we're now beginning to find that we are getting hold of key documents and we can now see what was really

going on in iraq and as you said. my practices are not seen for hundreds of iraqi ministers there are an untold number of iraqis who have been killed just wanted by him most was whilst inside military facilities with u.k. forces no one knows how many because the minister to french refused point blank to answer questions are the from my team of lawyers all from the newspapers here. they have been answered in a letter to the guardian newspaper about so-called weapon policy allowing u.k. troops to use coercive interrogation techniques which hadn't been fully sanction at the time what evidence of this is there which you could actually use in inquiries like the mossad case. well there's the close of evidence it's all on the bottom eastern corey website. the minister of defense now say look we're terribly sorry we've lost all the training materials prior to the invasion of iraq very sorry

we're very sorry that that meant that. interrogates is. being trained in permissible techniques involving coercion we don't really know exactly how they were being trained. they say that they're sorry that a detailed directive which would have told interrogators what they could and couldn't do was never issued so they admit. a whole range of systemic problems of now being uncovered that lead up to the death of. so we know some but we don't know a great deal because they refused to disclose any of the documents so for example they say that holding was buying from after the death of. well for sure fifty of my clients well actually they were being hooded in two thousand and six two thousand and seven even two thousand and eight so no one knows

what actually was going on hopefully. we've got a case next month in which you argue for a single inquiry into the u.k.'s detention policy in iraq and if that succeeds then at long last the truth should come out all right phil find out from public interest lawyers in the u.k. thank you very much for your thoughts this hour. now reduce reuse recycle it's a slogan that's not really caught on in moscow with just fifty percent of the millions of tons of garbage produced getting a new lease of life but burying the trash isn't a permanent solution either because space is running out it's going to look into why problems are piling up. 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 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 it will some day they'll have cancer as well because i will they be able to live here if these are mine terms continue growing even nothing is done the sooner he was six he 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 on the surface dock sick water is drained away from below and gases are taken away by specially designed wipes authorities insist in egypt knowledge eagle friendly but let's face it it leaves a stinky present for future generations. i was actually walking on top of around thirteen million tons of trash interestingly at the moment the so-called seasonal smell theory is off watermelons which people for all weigh them off this time of year trucks come and go every minute while monster bulldozers flattening the waste

into where and at the end all of this is going to walk like an ordinary hill just like that green area over there. moscow ennui produces at least five and a half million tons of wheat waste just 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 cycle fifteen percent of the waste it collects most of the trash which could be recycled is ruined during the transportation and sorting stations garbage trucks press waste to collect more so everything is really mixed together that's why we recycle so little in the air. to prevent waste being mixed up in meat and recycle last year the city distributed separate. ways 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 to ask why stick with 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 ducal logical consequences could be devastating so long 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 to morrow you've got this going to moscow some world news in brief now flash floods in eastern indonesia have killed at least twenty nine people and left dozens missing fragile rains which began on sunday led to the destruction of hundreds of homes thousands of people have fled the area officials say that rescuers searching for the missing are being hampered by fallen trees and blocked roads. a dissident group the real ira says it carried out tuesday's car bombing in northern ireland it happened in

a shopping area. very shortly after midnight no one was hurt but properties had been damaged a telephone warning was given an hour before the blast dissidents have conducted a series of attacks there in recent months. tackling drug addiction through medications like car or tree or hospitals may work for some but in the clear mountain air of ukraine's crimea it's back to basics this is no celebrity rehab it uses an ancient technique to kick the habit through harmony with nature or to the lexer says he has seen how it helps users get clean. look so you from ukraine's crimea enjoys his new life 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 france told him of a special school tucked away deep in the crimean mountains. at first to feed for my

health the first stop taken drugs people at this 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 that. probably 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 you both back to a normal life but there but go to work a bit further but the main mission of the school is to bring man back to nature of humanity departed from nature and started stagnating integrate youth 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 assonance this is the spiritual heart of the school a piece of meteorite sits on a buddhist better style and this is where students recharge their energy as well as marking the birth of each day with a ring of a bell. martin says that his school has no religious element whatsoever she says in a fight against inner chaos all faiths can offer good solutions the school provides diverse means of self reconstruction. regardless of a person's religious conviction if yours is your product. we've got 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 permanent 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 mohmed violent healing of society a look. see reporting from ukraine's crimea. this is next here on our today after a short break stay with us. hungry for the full story we've got it's. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. a

very warm welcome time to delve into the world of business past this hour russia calling the international investment forum of p.t.b. capital is underway in moscow and we'll be bringing you the latest comment and reaction from the government to use the form to announced a further tax break for business prime minister putin said it would encourage efforts to diversify the economy. when you're going to come to see it whenever we want to encourage investment in modernizing the economy just know within days i will introduce a draft law to the state duma to release investors from the coming tax when they sell shares so long as they've got five years but when the equities are not traded on stock exchanges this should help develop venture capital and attract long term

investment while looking at what's on the. finance minister alex they could run says he expects russia to see a modest competent i'll fly in two thousand and ten but he says that turning to an inflow in coming here is he also gave his outlook on foreign direct investments that. are very strong i should like to emphasize that we the government are counting on foreign direct investment in the past foreign direct investments reach seventy five billion dollars for example in two thousand and eight last year i 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 the plan to reach fifty billion dollars of foreign direct investment into the russian economy. tail on the economy presidential aide a kind of our core which said the global crisis has given russia a tear at it to make much needed reforms. of us to know when you're going to make

it the task we're facing right now is not to rebuild the economy we handle the structure of that economy the structure of economic growth the previous years although we would of course like the same rate of economic growth we need to refresh the economy and create the basis for a new economy one that will see steady growth over many years when you russia could become a member of the world trade organization before the end of twenty eleven says chief russian negotiator moxy midget. to complete the process and we have to first of all to complete market access in the good. technically i believe to development to to a source of documents such terms of access to services markets in total for access to russia's markets so-called skills of concessions total benefits. to us what is

to a very. good ability to supply you know decision making process will go over. also to be integration trade negotiations for market access reach from time to time but. time not have a look at how the markets are faring versus our european stocks the higher ups with the buy retail sector that's after growth a test that reported a stronger than expected profit for the first top of the year tesco stress climbed one of the whole percent in trading another tale of german is that true eight to me so it's just go point eight percent weakness for minor stuff so when somebody naturals on a break on the way to this is. the most credit markets are mixed this out of the r.t.s. to stop point two percent while the mindset is interbred all the group chips are down on demise it's except for this hydro and all stuff but both shows up about one percent. and in other news food prices continue to drive up and after
