life on the lawn in the thai court dismisses press charges against the alleged arms dealer victor boot will bring him a step closer towards extradition to the u.s. but his relatives fear the quick judgment that could always tend their. britain's ministry of defense is slammed for purging its computers of data on its. missions making it virtually impossible to properly investigate claims of abuse by soldiers . or europeans cry out against getting crushed by tax spikes in pay costs the same troubles in the u.s. can't seem to coax americans into action. a mountain of trouble ahead for moscow's garbage problem ask the trash piles up the city's says it can't get

recycling flounce off the ground. it's five pm in moscow and this is r t coming to you live with me and use the now way first up this hour relatives of russian businessmen viktor boot who is wanted by the u.s. for alleged arms smuggling says they fear for his life but it's wife believes washington is planning to force her husband to give the testimony they need if he's extradited to america. well he wasn't ready and still who thinks that it's quite possible the likes to dine him and just look him up on some craft carrier and force him to give would have a testimony of the us wants him to give i think he'll go as hard as it takes to get it and i'm sure everyone understands they're playing to fleece to do these days starting with chemical since psychological pressure. well under time i wore boots

legal team now has thirty days to appeal the latest criminal court decision earlier on tuesday it cleared the way for the businessman's possible extradition after dismissing new claims of money wandering in fog against him those charges delay a decision taken in august to hand him over to the us where he's accused of terrorism and supplying arms to colombian rebels those are allegations he denies the so-called merchant of death was arrested in march two thousand and eight in bangkok you know american led staying can goodman a publisher specializing in investigative writing believes victor boot in stock in a high stakes game and is unlikely to get a fair trial in the u.s. . into 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 it that's why i think they're waiting

for this whole thing to play 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 thai court to be political in nature and there wasn't even a minimal amount of evidence to convict on anything but america has promised thailand fighter jets and cheap oil if the decision goes their way if he's next day to america and stands trial in america itself i think then everything will be in public but probably but might happen is that they would like to extradite him but not have him face trial in america but they'll be 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. in other news the u.k.'s ministry of defense has admitted that electronic records of its soldiers day to day activities in afghanistan are routinely wiped from computers one lawyer has already said it's smacks of a cover up the disclosures were made at the public inquiry into the death of an

iraqi hotel receptionist. died from multiple injuries while in the custody of british soldiers in two thousand and three investigations being made harder by a lack of official records which could confirm commanders orders for who was in position at a certain time and imo d. statement to the inquiries said there are gaps in the information because i two systems are routinely wiped when returned from operational deployments well phil signer from the public interest lawyers represents more than one hundred iraqis who accuse british soldiers of them being. parrots of all the electronic communications and particular the emails between iraq and london and the joint headquarters in london disclosed in the two inquiries that. the first. inquiry and the second is an inquiry into an alleged massacre in may two thousand and four much called the swedish inquiry 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 cross-channel ferry into the sea this destroying them the minister 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 material it's a court case is. it's coming to light now because those efforts of the militia defense to cover these are are being covered themselves and we're now beginning to find the. 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 action for hundreds of iraqi ministers there are an untold number of iraqis who've been killed just not 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 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. who were being trained in incremental techniques involving coercion we we won't really know exactly how that they were being trained. they say that they're sorry that i detailed directives which would have told interrogators what they could and couldn't do it was never issued so they admit. a whole range of systemic problems of now been covered that lead up to the death of. so we do 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 forty or fifty of my clients well actually they were being hooded in two thousand and six two thousand and seventy even two thousand and eight. up through an r t a way to escape the destructive power of drug abuse these are the eggs are repulsing their lives and using the power of nature to defeat their demons. but first europeans who are deeply angry over getting their welfare benefits cut while taxes are. hikes are making their voices heard with loud protests across the continent they say they don't want to pay for the mistakes of politicians and bankers but the latest demonstrations saw thousands of romanian teachers protest in bucharest demanding better wages an investment in education that's another country

in desperate to cut its budget deficit and it's trying to do it by slashing public sector wages by twenty five percent but on the other side of the a biotech americans facing similar struggles are showing the same passion and fury various reader looks at why europeans are doing better at trying to protect their kids. 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 a 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 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 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 it's not going to happen preassure either r. t. washington d.c. . well former british government minister says swelling social unrest in europe means it's decision time for the club of countries using the cure oh john redwood tells us why it's time to choose who should stay. but i think it's up to the current member states of the euro to come to political conclusions democratic

inclusions the 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. because their full interview next hour here on our t.v. at six thirty pm moscow time. 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 or does it is going over looks 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 someday they'll have kids as well how will they be able to live here if these mining tombs continue growing if nothing is done soon the whole 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 docks it 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 off this time of

year trucks come and go every minute while monster ball those are flattening the waste into where 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 a waste being mixed up and made 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 be going up just glass blasting 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 used as lost the whole system needs to be changed or ducal logical consequences could be devastating so until the russian capital gets its recycling act together millions of tons of waste will continue to be hidden from sight today for future generations to deal with tomorrow you've got this kind of r g moscow. two russian born scientists have won the nobel physics prize for developing a microscopic material that could revolutionize electronics on the game and constantine. has been working on graphene which is a layer of carbon that's just an adamant that commits the noble academy said grapheme could lead to technological leaps and computer chips touch screens and

achieve this it does require a more direct foreign investment in the needs to actually tell the international delegation here that russia is a good place to invest a good place to do business and the actually there isn't as much money coming into the russian economy as they was before the crisis hit so a lot more is needed scree done to achieve this was such an idea picked up by the prime minister vladimir putin who did call in there to be more incentives for foreigners to do business here let's hear what he had to say. when you were going to give a shit we're not counting on a saturday. to encourage investment in modernizing the economy within days to 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 i'm not traded on stock exchanges this should help develop french or capital and attract long term

investment. you. know these measures and i did. that by france's economic affairs minister christine legarde who is here and she was outlining the priorities that france has when it takes twenty presidency in november and one of those proteins will be eight new monetary policy this is something that they want to establish and they want to make it more multi-dimensional more multilateral and make sure that all the nations that like russia like china are in fault in not the process so there was a low. so talk of more cooperation and deepening relations between russia and its international partners is there really from the day one of the council investment forum here there is agreement that russia has made progress but that it also does need to make sure that there is financial regulation and supervision in the future of all russia might be on the paul towards growth things was diversification always

the contrary there is still a long road ahead. of correspondents. father you bring us the latest from the international investment for more food to be held here in moscow thank you very much. and in other news coming from the presidential aide. said the global crisis has given brush of the opportunity to make much needed reforms. to nobody near. the task we're facing right now is not to rebuild the economy we have 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. time to have a quick look at the markets european stocks are higher because the plywood tail sector softer u.k.

central bank says the bank had submitted in that court reporting data was unable to meet the demands of precious international industrial bank failed sure pay a loan of thirty two billion rubles to the central bank that had previously been suspended for six months i believe russia's thirtieth largest bank by assets becomes the first major bank to lose its license since the financial crisis began. well and in some other news food prices continue to drive up inflation offered some a drought it reached zero point eight percent to september pushing the annual inflation rate to seven percent so far while there are concerns that consumer prices will grow a box off the shelf forecast this year september growth was driven mainly by food prices buckwheat and eggs in particular the price of eggs jumped around thirty percent in more than fifty russian regions. of us all we have time for now but you can.
