this is a welcome to the latest news update from moscow to levon pm this tuesday evening i'm kevin owen with a top story for you with relatives of russian business moving to boot who is wanted by. the u.s. for alleged arms smuggling say 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 is extradited to america he wasn't already unstable but it's quite possible they will 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 with chemical sense psychological pressure. under thai law boots legal team now has thirty days to appeal the latest criminal court decision earlier on tuesday cleared

the way for the businessman's possible extradition after dismissing new claims of money leaving the fold against him first charges delayed a decision taken in august to hand him over to the united states 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 how does this now we spoke to former u.n. arms trafficking expert brad johnson thomas for his views and link to boot safety if he sent us eventually. i have concerns about what the verdict will be going back to based on the only other person who in recent times has been convicted on a sting operation involving the part of the colombian levels is a man called monster all counsel who was an arms dealer strangely also was of assistance to the americans on many occasions and when his lawyer sought to bring back 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 my 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 would've said grant alamo bay 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 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 of assistance to the pentagon and to other nato countries in providing or. she my

concern always has been not that picture is 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 while in brussels 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 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. now all the way feel a few minutes here at r.t. the eco warriors with fake. names begin with the advertising campaign for a car. killing. comedy but find what the joke for

a bit flat. out is good though this trial resumes for inciting and islamic hatred supporters say his views are being exaggerated you got more to come on back in just a few minutes from this. ukase 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 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 one in the custody of british soldiers into three the investigation is being made harder by a lack of official records which could confirm commanders or was or was in position of a certain time and energy statement to the inquiry said there are gaps in the information because i t systems are routinely wiped when return from operational deployments human rights lawyer kevin laue from redress says vital evidence is lost. it would be important

to have as much information which was officially recorded by the british army by the ministry of defense personnel in this case because the whole purpose of this inquiry of draw is to try and establish the facts of what happened in september two thousand and three when mr musso was killed in custody and the civilian detainees were tortured they had been serious breaches of these person's rights that at the very least cruel inhuman or degrading if not torture take place. there was no denial that somebody had actually been killed in certainly there were. many abuses. polluting. the torturing to death of. denial that other detainees were also severely ill treated they've been several trials several acquittals

and the number of convictions it's hard to say what what the rate is but i think i think what the concern is is there. is certainly more then has just happened in this one incident that effectively this incident which the inquiry is looking at this certainly have been several incidents and in fact. something like fifty or sixty cases standing which u.k. lawyers are currently working on. europeans who are deeply angry over getting their welfare benefits cut while taxes are hiked are 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 demonstration saw thousands of romanian teachers protest in bucharest demanding better wages and 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 facing similar struggles aren't showing the same passion and feeling that is pretty sure to 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 and make sure. their liberty in the freedom that we had in the past. countries across the globe are facing one. 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 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 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 because if they 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 fair radical of 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 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 not going to happen preassure either our t. washington d.c. the trial against the controversial. who is strong on to the greens will resume with its original judgments the special panel refuse good villages request to change what he called a biased panel your web page or button told me that bill there's a podium so leong into him with probably trying to understand his position. 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 is not compatible with western the western liberal democracy and free speech as we're seeing now this whole thing is this trial is a pression of free speech what is he said he's actually talked about the ideology and the koran is the truth 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 over now nobody to kill professor dawkins i 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 i said i think most of his criticisms are valid. reduce reuse recycle it's

a slogan that's not really caught on here in moscow we're 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 at r.t.c. good post going off to the why problems are piling up. when alexander and his family moved to their flat ten years ago that you from the thirteenth floor was so impressive the whole city before them but soon this one 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 mind terms continue growing if nothing is done soon the full sixty 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 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 flatten 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 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 illegal in moscow as 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 black stick 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 used as lost the whole system needs to be changed or the cordial consequences could be devastating so until the russian capital gets its recycling act together millions of dan's of wheezed will continue to be hidden from state to be for future generations to deal with tomorrow you've

got this kind of moscow we're talking of future generations appearing a blow up school children in front of their classmates is an unlikely way of trying to convince people to reduce pollution but when british campaigners try to put comedy into cutting carbon as bad to see the job outside it badly needs is this but you will find some scenes quite gory declining in disposition the short film scripted by the british writer behind four weddings and a funeral lead to complacency it was sick and needlessly violent it was created on behalf of the ten ten environmental campaigners first people to reduce their carbon emissions by ten percent but it's bloody images made it one of the most shortly of that campaign as you're about to see that when it was pulled from said it was just hours after being released they go the charity action aid which originally but the idea said it was absolutely appalled that richard curtis his part said when you try to be funny on a serious subject it's obviously risky i spoke to british metrology as piers corbyn

he told me that environmentalist are hitting new depths so she's supposed these images were directed against any ethnic or religious minority like black people or all jews then there would be absolute international uproar in fact this man curtis . we even thought of making the 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 unexpected of all they are arrogant malevolent and dangerous people and they have to be stopped the message is a law eat they can only get it across by this sort of nonsense i mean you see those people of faith saying cuts like everyone else and sooner or later the public is going to get it the fact is this failed soylent 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 right 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 that with no no correlation the cold for hundreds of years thousands of years or indeed millions of years the relationship between with the sun and sun lunar modulations 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 meteorologist peace corp in their own r.t. you said russian i hospitals in the far eastern city of lagos stock you see the influx of patients with a rare form of fish poisoning and this is the culprit it's the food fish the traditional popular japanese delicacy that is a catch to it you've got to cook it very carefully because just one fish contains a poison capable of killing over thirty people and are not usually found off

whatever the stock would be born someone saw the numbers grow and hungry anglers took it upon themselves to make what they thought would be a tasty fish soup or more than twenty types of food goo but it takes an expedited know which ones won't leave you clutching your stomach all worse. two russian born scientists have won the nobel physics prize for developing a microscopic material that could revolutionize electronics and i'm in constant enough a seal of been working on graphene which is a layer of carbon that's just to an atom in thickness the nobel academy said that graphing could lead to technological leaps in computer chips touchscreens and solar cells the winning scientists began their careers at the soviet research center the moscow region and now their work at manchester university in britain gaiman obviously all of get a share of the one of the of million dollars for the ground breaking development one of the court but just ten years ago received the so-called nobel prize which celebrates some of science's most ridiculous research what do they prove you ask

you prove that magnets could cause frogs to levitate but one of their colleagues told r.t. that the winners knew technically forwarders of a remarkably simple origin. of all there's a book five years ago question of a soul of created one atom figley or a group theme using just sticky tape at the time it was something exceptional that it was generally believed that monolayer were impossible to acquire at all. so now you know because report on air in just a few minutes ireland's financial nightmare and its effects on the price of gold are being discussed along with much more that after the choose even business news from moscow next. hello time to delve into the world of business first the summer russia calling the international investment forum of d.t.b. capital is underway in moscow and will bring you the latest comments and reaction.

foreign direct investment was the key topic on the first day of the to be investment forum here in moscow with top officials and business represented just taking part or correspondent charles lamas farley has the details. the main message being conveyed here by the russian officials is that they are satisfied with the progress that russia has made and the success of the crisis measures now like other economies like japan and the us 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 they need to actually tell the international delegation here that russia is a good place to invest a good place to do business and 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 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. we're not counting tax incentives but 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 the paper over five years. 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 so really from the day wall 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 paul towards growth and towards diversification always the contrary there is still a long road ahead. i mean while you're home very mort chief investment office and founding partner at paramount 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 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 again worse ten times they would need to be the

privatisation of russia's largest states companies could go slower than planned they had a view to be bank has told r.t. the president of fiji be bank under a question also spoke about the company's move into a new issuance we do have entrance not many but i agree that. very important. group here so we have plans to expand it maybe including some provision a merger or some other companies but we all are working on one additional. in this area i think we will strengthen our management team and. will definitely invest more in this activity as we feel this is. related business to the banking. very much interested in c. is one of the major businesses of the group if you can just move towards the. other plans for the bank to the prudent do you feel that the conditions are favorable at

the neighborhoods i think we are borrowing we change the look at our strategy beside the large warnings we should. organize on the national markets we also will focus on a specific come to more week like we did in singapore we're planning probably some other countries where we do one. on one. it will help us to get the best the best price for the soul will continue to come by these larger international issues and with us in the mess the current season may be in south pacific no one the area i was touched upon is the privatization of business what timescale can you give us the when the government will fund over. in the meter and the government will keep the controlling stake in this leading companies but the. prime minister mr putin mentioned these morning i mean ideologically there's no restriction sold on the

lips of the government. to go below this i think that that will not have them other than that but let's say you had a good three year. perspective i don't think it is feasible only because of pollution the government but mainly because i'm afraid that given the markets will not digest the size and less. look at the markets because the markets close to use this session if a black. one point seven percent while the price of just six for the percent shows and these sort of the price of spike two point seven percent which was their highest point since two thousand and eight. slightly less two point three percent that's all the business from now but you can get more stories for a while website r t dot com slash business.
