this is artsy welcomes the latest news update from moscow at ten pm moscow time this choose day i'm kevin zero in with the top stories for you and relatives of russian businessman vic to boot is wanted by the u.s. for alleged arms smuggling so they fear for his life but it's wife believes that washington is planning to force her husband to give the testimony they want if he's extradited to america and he was already unstable that it's quite possible the extradite 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 they'll go as far as it takes to get it and i'm sure everyone understands they're playing to face to do it these days starting to mingle since psychological pressure. and the thai law boots legal team has thirty days to appeal the latest criminal court decision earlier tuesday cleared the way for the

businessman's possible extradition now to dismissing new claims of money laundering in the fall of against him those charges delayed it just. asian taken in august to hand him over to u.s. marines 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 out is this now i spoke to former u.n. arms trafficking expert brian johnson thomas for his views on big to get safety if he is eventually sent to the u.s. . i have concerns about what's the big he will be going back to based on the only other person who in recent times has been convicted on a sting operation involving the fox the colombian levels is a man called monster or counsel who was an arms dealer who strangely also was of 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's 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 know even if you asked me what ten years ago i was said granted i'm a bear it 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 but what people may see is getting good getting the truth out of somebody but i think given the the president's amman's at all costs which is the only one in recent times which seems to hold i think it's unlikely that he's depends. should that happen will be able to bring into evidence the fact that he has on occasion been a assistance to the pentagon to within nato countries in providing or. she my concern

always has been not because of is necessarily innocent of all charges but the sting operation of some he didn't do quite clear existing operation and he's not the merchant of death which the media portray him as well i would agree he's a merchant or some death. russia's foreign minister has been speaking to the thai prime minister about viktor burns' case while in brussels so gay lover of says that russia won't interfere in the course 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 court process is on boots case the idea that the u.s. and russia have to agree between themselves upon boots case is outside the legal field. more news tonight 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 lawyers 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 of british soldiers in two thousand and three investigations being made harder by a lack of official records which could confirm commanders orders or who's in position of a certain time and with the statement an inquiry said there are gaps in the information because i.t. systems are routinely wiped when return from operational deployments feel shit is from the public interest moyers group representing more than one hundred iraqis who accuse british soldiers of abuse 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 but serial 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 that we are getting hold of key documents my practices are actually for

hundreds of iraqi ministers there are an untold number of iraqis who have been killed just not by a moose 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 about it we're very sorry that that meant that interrogates is. who were being trained an impermissible techniques involving coercion with we won't really know exactly how though they were being trained. they say that they're sorry. that i detailed in the directive 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 have now been covered that lead

up to the death of. so we we know some but we don't know a great deal. follow the story online on the home page to r.t. dot com. a trial against a controversial dutch m.p. known for his strong anti islamic views will resume with its original judges a special panel refuse good will does request to change what he calls a biased panel get latest on the story and told more than your m.p. gerard button thanks being on the program with us you've met good world and some time ago you know he attracts notoriety revery goes but what impression did you get of the man when you met him face to face is it different from what's portrayed in the media. hello kevin yes yes it is i mean i met world as i think about two thousand six two thousand and seven and in fact i went to see our before i went to see him i asked people who knew him you know i didn't want have anything to do with him if he was and he was little more racist they assured me he wasn't when i met

him i went to the hague going out to dinner with him and totally dispelled any fears i may have had of that i think that he's a very intelligent man very decent man and i think in his own way heroic because he's standing up for western liberal democracy in the face of an ideology that wants to destroy it. so i have no problems reading the true i don't agree with him on every single thing that he says but i think you know somebody from whom i have tremendous admiration but do you think it's reasonable for a man to use phrases like islam is the trojan horse in europe or another one if we stay weak they'll be no freedom no room for anything but islam no tolerance no more sharia we surely can see that that would be perceived by many as statements going just too far after all is the elected politician there freeze actually talking about some of the constituency represents they're. talking about an ideology and i think that's key in this whole thing his whole argument. and i come from it from the same angle is we're not talking about muslims not about individuals we're talking about an ideology and

a belief system and if you actually look at that belief system in detail you'll find that it does it doesn't fit in with it's not compatible with western western liberal democracy and freeze. as we're seeing now this whole thing is this trial is a pression of free speech what is he saying he's actually talked about. in the koran as a book and we're now having a trial because somebody has dared to criticize a book now recently here we've had professor richard dawkins had a whole t.v. program criticizing christianity and the bible and said you know equally strong things that it was it was a crime against humanity and the want to arrest the pope i believe when he came out now nobody frightened to kill professor dawkins or wanted to lock him up or put him on trial and he is doing exactly the same thing he's arguing about a belief system this is not about individuals it's about what individual shrew choose to believe and what will this is doing is criticizing that belief system and i think that i said i don't agree with everything he says i think most of his

criticisms are valid why do you think policies that keep the corner a man like will do as unspoken is used instead of addressing the deep concerns over mass immigration which thousands of europeans say they do share with them. well i think it's fear i think it's fear of being in breach of political correctness they're frightened of somebody calling them racist although it's got nothing to do with race and it's also a real fear based on the fact that somebody might threaten the come and kill you will those lives under twenty four hour police guard when i met him we had to we went out to dinner we had four armed policemen sitting at the next table and he lives under that regime now permanently and he lives in a secret address now what's he done is criticized and ideology and for that he's frightened with death and i think this is the reason why lots of other politicians are not so keen on it they don't to be called racist that i want to be called names by the great politically correct elite and i actually have a real fear for their lives when will this came over to me in the house of lords.

in two thousand and i had an invitation to come over from lord pearson who was then you know one of you keeps you still is one of your kids peers in the house of lords he was prevented by the home secretary. smith on the basis it wasn't in the public interest but the real reason is because it was threatened that ten thousand muslims would turn up outside the houses of house of lords and demonstrate against him that he appealed against that and he was allowed to come in and there wasn't any real trouble and i met him in person in the house of lords and we had lunch there and he showed his film fitna and that's what it's really all about it's about fear of what might happen if people speak out against this belief system that why their belief system graeme's gains more power all the time unfortunately just reminding our viewers this is a story they can follow as well on our channel. com and also on our you tube channel as well and have their say as well about it and know there are people opposed or not both sides of it gerald button for now the member of the european parliament for a u.k. dependence party thanks for being on the line from london thank you very much.

europeans who are deeply angry over getting their welfare benefits cut while taxes a hike so making their voices heard 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 roumanian teachers protest in bucharest abandoned better wages an investment in education it's another country desperate to cut its budget deficit and is trying to do it by slashing public sector wages by twenty five percent but on the other side of the atlantic americans are facing similar struggles but they aren't showing the same passion and fury that is pretty sure that looks at why europeans are doing better it 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 and make sure that our country maintains their liberty in the freedom that you've had in the past.

countries across the globe are facing one of the worst economic disaster is 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 means they can begin to buy political parties they can buy a whole segment 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 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 if we do. 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 of middle class that we're seeing in the united states but many say americans see 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 that'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 it's not going to happen preassure either our t. washington d.c. next tonight to reduce reuse recycle and it's a slogan there's not really called on a remote scope we just fifteen 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 has been off 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 cancer as well i will they be able to live here if these mine terms continue growing if nothing is done to nothing the 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 a hero on the surface dock sick water is drained away from hugo 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 smell here 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 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 you know most of the trash which could be recycled is ruined 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 to waste being mixed up in meat and recycle last year the city distributed separate bins enabling moskowitz 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 picking up just glass or plastic or people which were all mixed up anyway so the experiment was trashed this is money which is being thrown the way to the waste which could be reused is lost the whole system needs to be changed or do cordial 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 state to be for future generations to deal with to morrow you got this kind of moscow. appearing to blow up school children in front of their classmates is an unlikely way of trying to convince people to reduce

pollution but when british eco campaigners try to put comedy into cutting carbon seems a joke backfired badly it's tongue in cheek this but some of these things you might find quite gory indeed come up in a minute the short film scripted by the british writer for weddings and a funeral led to complaints that it was sick and needlessly violent it was created on behalf of the ten ten environmental campaigners spurred people producing a carbon emissions by ten percent but it's bloody images made it one of the most short lived campaigns just waiting for one of it now it was pulled from cinemas just before they would go before being released what do you think of that war the charity action aid which originally about the idea said it was absolutely appalled but richard curtis for his part said when you try to be funny on a serious subject it's obviously risky spoke to british metrology spears called recently told me that environmentalists are hitting new depths with this ad which. was supposed. to directed against any f.

nickel religious minority like black people or jews then there would be up. absolute international uproar in fact this man curtis wouldn't have even thought of making a film but somehow he thinks he can get away with it by attacking the children of people who happen to disbelieve even therefore to learn science and want evidence i mean it is utterly unacceptable they are arrogant malevolent and dangerous people and they have to be stopped the most it is a law eat they can only get it across by this sort of nonsense i mean you see those people off facing cuts like everyone else and sooner or later the public is going to get it the fact is this failed soilent and fraudulent greater harm to them so they got no difference other than this emotional blackmail has styria lorries and they have to be stopped climate change is natural extreme events in climate change are caused by the sun it's nothing to do with c o two there's no connection between

carbon dioxide and climate and you can look at the data and see of no no correlation told for hundreds of years thousands of years or indeed millions of years the relationship between with the sun and sun lunar module ations with which we predicted for example the russian heat wave in the summer and when it would end and when the floods in pakistan would induce well. he told us his called and talked to me funny this news russia's more smokers among its population than any other country in the world now the government's on its way to becoming a tobacco free zone though with a couple of words of encouragement from vladimir putin the prime minister has long been an advocate of living a healthy lifestyle and is now on a one man crusade to stub out the nation's smoking habit stilton hinted to the government that they should set the example first and quit their own dangerous nicotine addiction fishel didn't seem to. get up for it. but

a client of the year was the currency of topics discussed during artie's exclusive interview with a well known british euro skeptic just a few minutes tonight but first the latest business news this tuesday evening from moscow hungry for the full story we've got it for. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. which brighten. moon and sun from the still. keep don't come.

hello time to delve into the world of business first this hour russia calling the international investment for a movie to be capital is underway in moscow and we'll bring you the latest comment and reaction. foreign direct investment was the key topic on the first read to be investment forum here in moscow with top officials and business represented just taking part all correspondent shot at last folly has the details. the main message being conveyed by the russian officials is that they are satisfied with the progress that russia

has made on the success of the crisis measures now like other economies like japan and the u.s. so they know it's no using stimulus packages and they want to move towards 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. 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 to achieve this this was picked up by the prime minister. who did call in there to be more incentives to foreigners to do business . we're not counting tax incentives broadening to encourage investment in modernizing the economy within days to introduce

a draft law to the state duma to release investors from the income tax when they sell shares so long as they've got five years of the equities traded on stock exchanges this should help develop french or capital and attract long term investment. so there was a lot of talk of more cooperation and deepening relations between russia and its international partners there really from the day wall of the capital investment forum here there is agree with 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 paul towards growth and towards diversification always economy there is still a long road ahead. meanwhile your home very much chief investment office and founding partner at fairmont asset management told r.t. that russia still has a poor image among foreign businessmen and that's hurting investment. unfortunately

the reputation of russia the perception of russia remains quite unfortunate shouldn't food oneself if one goes out and he has people speak honestly they have 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 bribes we haven't had to pay protection money we've had very good results and actually looking at perception versus reality i think we'll it is ten times better than perception even though we are again worse ten times they would need to be the privatization of russia's largest state companies could go slow them planned they had a view to be bank has told r t the president a fee to be bank under a cost and also spoke about the company's move into a new issuance we do have insurance company but i agree that.
