life on the line no telly call dismisses fresh charges against alleged victim boot giving him a step closer now towards extradition to the u.s. but his words to fear the quick judgment could away to. the british defense ministry is slammed for purging its computers of data on its afghanistan mission is making it virtually impossible to properly investigate claims of abuse by soldiers . while europeans cry out against getting crushed by top spikes in pay cuts the same troubles in the u.s. can't seem to coax americans into action. and a mountain of trouble ahead for moscow's garbage problem as the trash piles up the city says it can't get recycling is off the ground.

this is our welcome to the latest news update from moscow at eight pm this tuesday evening i'm kevin oh in the top story and relatives of russian businessman vic to boot who is wanted by the u.s. for alleged arms smuggling say they fear for his life but it's wife believes washington is planning to force a husband to give the testimony they need if he's extradited to america and he was emotionally unstable to that it's quite possible the extradite him just look him up on some eve craft carrier and force him to give whatever testimony the u.s. one seem to give i think they'll go as far as it takes to get it into i'm sure everyone understands they're playing to find ways to do these days starting with chemical sense psychological pressure. well on the. legal team is thirty days to appeal the latest criminal court decision earlier today cleared the way for the

businessman's possible extradition now to dismissing new claims of money laundering unfold against him those charges delayed a decision taken in new york is to hand him over to the u.s. where he's accused of terrorism and supplying arms to colombian rebels allegations he denies the so-called merchant of death was arrested in march two thousand and eight in bangkok in an american led sting obviousness now we spoke to former u.n. arms trafficking expert brian jumpseat traumas for his views on big to build safety if you send to the u.s. . oh i have concerns about what the victor will be going back to based on the only other person who in recent times has been competitive on a sting operation involving the part of the colombian levels is a man called monsoreau. who was an arms dealer strangely also was assistance to the americans on many occasions and when his lawyer sought to bring that into the courts he wasn't allowed to do so so i think that's on the president

which is lawyers in the states if he got there would not be able to bring pictures assistance of the pentagon into the court example the people close to boot including his wife fear for his life assuming the u.s. will use every possible effort to force any can fasten i'd like to hear do you think that's why i claim i just don't know if you asked we want ten years ago i was a grant alum or barry was not likely so you know the world we live in is a strange and sometimes hostile place i think it's unlikely that people will want deliberately to harm anyone but i think harm is sometimes done as part of the process what people may see as getting good getting the truth out of somebody but i think given the the president. which is the only one in recent times which seems to go i think it's unlikely that he's depends. should that happen. to be able to bring into evidence the fact that he has on occasion been of assistance to the

pentagon and to other nato countries in providing air cover to my concern always has been not that bitterness necessarily innocent of all charges but the sting operation is something he didn't do quite clearly just think operation and he's not of the merchant of death which the media portray him as well i would agree he's a method for some death russia's foreign minister has been speaking to the thai prime minister about viktor boots case one in brussels so get over of says that russia won't interfere in the court's work in thailand russia does not intend to negotiate with the united states over the fate of victor boot moscow expects the u.s. not to interfere in the thai courts processes on boots case the idea that the u.s. and russia have to agree between themselves upon boots case is outside the legal field. defense is admitted that electronic records of its soldiers day to day activities in afghanistan are routinely wiped from computers while laws already

said it smacks of a cover up the disclosures were made at the public inquiry into the death of an iraqi hotel receptionist who said died from multiple injuries while in custody or producers in two thousand and three investigations being made harder by a lack of official records which could confirm commander's orders or who of who it was in position at the time and the statement into the inquiry said there are gaps in the information because i t systems are routinely wiped when return from operational deployments to brand from the start walkover nation says that cover ups for mishandled operations in afghanistan may be even worse than those in iraq and. i don't think that the military would deny that there was this propaganda war waged and certainly in this country it consisted of presenting british soldiers in especially in the early years after the after the invasion and the occupation in two thousand and three two thousand and four presenting british soldiers as being the ones who do things differently from the americans who go around in soft and sort of our hard helmets

and body armor and so on. and who win the hearts and minds of the people all this sort of thing and there's abundant evidence that something else was going on at the same time but that was simply a propaganda thing for for fooling people and therefore that these abuses in fact. the inspiration for them comes from much higher up the like the idea that commanders actually told soldiers to be. very heavy handed and to treat iraq is quiet for me and so on and i think that's really the number one thing that that's at stake the reputation of the army command the military's very interested in learning lessons i mean that's one of the things that's come in very much in recent years that you. you constantly strive to learn lessons from what you do so that you supposedly do it better next time etc so that even for their purposes you would think that having this potential source of information not not something that you

would simply analyze completely every time you've finished with it but simply put it somewhere for future use of it if you do an exercise or an investigation it's potentially available it seems to me striking that they say that they deliberately don't. just over now we focus on the human cost of the war in iraq explores how the mass media puts into time and balance out of real life stories ignoring the brutal reality faced by millions. show biz that entertainment value of sinful trade presentation high production success it's grass and so. all of this is a way to sort of focus people's attention by using techniques that are sensitive

now during this war we had nearly a military entertainment. program want to add hours time european so deeply angry over getting their welfare benefits cut while taxes a hike to 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 the latest demonstrations or thousands of romanian teachers protest in bucharest amounting better wages and investment in education it's never a country just desperate to cut its budget deficit and is trying to do so by slashing public sector wages by twenty five percent but on the other side of the atlantic americans facing similar struggles showing the sayings passion and fury chris showed the election while you're koreans are doing better it's trying to protect the markets. 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 and make sure that our country maintains their liberty in the freedom that we had in the past. countries across the globe are facing one of the worst economic disaster is in recent history fourteen mil. 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 tens of thousands of european 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 but many say americans seem more concerned with getting there they are radical afraid on the 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 it's kind of very odd as 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 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 just not going to happen preassure either our t. washington d.c. . america is richard wolffe says that europe still has a strong will to the left enabling strikes and protests but that's all but disappeared in the united states leaving those who are struggling without a voice. it's the decision of the europeans to overcome all of their differences the 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 you have active socialist communist and other radical organizations that analyze what's going on in an ongoing way with daily newspapers and daily or 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 could 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. sense not a way to escape the destructive power of drug abuse these arctic so rebalancing their lives using the power of nature to defeat the demons got a special report. and. a giant leap forward in the science of electronics which would've been impossible right not for a strip of sticky. speaks to colleagues of the new russian nobel physics prize winners. reduce reuse recycle it's a slogan that's not really caught on much in moscow which is fifteen percent of the millions of tons of garbage produced getting a new lease of life but burying the trash isn't the permanent solution either because space is running out and he got to the why problems are piling up right now

. when alexander and his family moved to their flat 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 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 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 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 was 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 of 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 ways to collect more so everything is really mixed together that's why we recycle so

little in the end. to prevent two ways to being mixed up in meat and recycle last year the city distributed separate bins enabling moscow 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 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 reused 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 downs of waste will continue to be hidden from sight to be for future generations to deal with tomorrow you've got this kind of r g moscow next tonight tackling drug addiction through medication psychiatry or hospitals may work for certain but in the clear mountain area of ukraine's crimea it's back to basics there's no celebrity rehab either it

decade it has helped several hundred young people to its. from drug addiction its director says they use only natural methods to bring youth back to a normal life but the book of go to work a bit about the main mission of the school is to bring man 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 and 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 finally the martian 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 if 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 nonviolent healing of society a look. see reporting from ukraine's crimea. two russian born scientists

being conveyed here by the russian officials is that they are satisfied with the progress that russia has made and the success of the anti crisis measures now like other economies like japan and the u.s. so they know it's now using stimulus packages and they want to move towards actually sustained longer term economic growth but the russian officials have acknowledged that to achieve this it does require a more direct foreign investment and there needs to actually tell the international delegation here that russia is a good place to invest a good place to do business and that actually there isn't as much money coming into the russian economy as there was before the crisis hit so a lot more is needed to be done and to achieve this this was that she picked up on by the prime minister vladimir putin who did call in there to be more incentives for foreigners to do business in. we're not counting tax incentives but broadening

the to encourage investment in modernizing the economy just now within days to introduce a draft law to the state duma to release investors from the income your tax when they sell shares so long as they've. got five years but they're traded on stock exchanges this should help develop venture capital and attract long term investment in europe so there was a lot of talk of more cooperation and deepening relations between russia and its international partners there really from the day warn of the capital investment forum here there is agreement that russia has made progress but that it also does need to make sure that there is tighter financial regulation and supervision in the future of all russia might be on the path towards growth and towards diversification always economy there is still a long road ahead. but meanwhile the chief investment officer and founding partner at their most asset management told r.t.

that russia still has a poor image among former businessmen and that's hurting investment. unfortunately the reputation of russia the perception of russia remains quite bad unfortunate shouldn't called oneself if one goes out and hears people speak honestly they extremely scared of russia. inflation corruption mafia absence of rule of law our experience in russia has been in over seventeen years almost that we haven't had to pay a bribe we haven't had to pay protection money we've had very good results and actually looking at perception versus reality i think reality is ten times better than perception even though we are t's again worse ten times that we need to be the privatisation of russia's largest state companies could go slower than planned they had a view to be bank has told r.t. the president of free to be bank and recourse to also spoke about the company's move into a new nice insurance. we do have insurance company but i agree that. business

doesn't play very important role into the whole group yes we have plans to expand that maybe including some position emerge or some other companies but we'll are working on the on additional. in this area i think we will strengthen our management team there. will definitely invest more in this activity as we feel this is. related to business to the banking. so we'll be very much interested in c.s. as one of the major business of the group if you can just move towards bank south what are the plans for the banks to approve and do you feel that the conditions are favorable at the moment i think. we changed a look at our strategy here that besides the large bore owings which we. organize on the national markets we also will focus on the specific come to the floor we

like we did in singapore and we are planning probably some other countries that we do the one in switzerland it will help us to get the best best price for this so we'll continue to combine these larger international issues with us in the mess the currency issues maybe in south pacific no one said the area i'd like to touch upon is the privatization of business is what timescale can mean past when the government will hand over control in the meter and the government will keep the controlling stake in this link up and is but the. prime minister mr putin mentioned this morning i mean ideologically there's no restrictions so sooner or later the government will be ready to go below this i think that that will not happen over the next let's say three year. perspective i don't think it is feasible not only because of pollution the government but mainly because the. given the markets will

not digest the size of the lessons. look at the markets now in moscow the markets are closed tuesday session in the black the r.t.s. was up one point seven percent while the my sibs gained a six percent all of major blue chips finished in positive territory. and that's all we have time for now but you can get more stores small website r t v dot com slash business.
