plenty more to come this hour here in our team including life on the line. we assess what the future holds for the alleged gun runner a victor boot who's banged up in bangkok and why his family fears for his life also . the problem with the games are supposed to show that he's a rival who has a world class city in this new although there is no peace with the city slums no wonder then that the administration feels that these boards will help with the best of the city. and we'll look at what's ahead and behind a fake facelift the indian capital received before the arrival of the commonwealth games. anger is growing in europe about a new washington data sharing demands and what they call a move to stop potential terrorists from entering the u.s. to requirements include fingerprints d.n.a. samples and cross border payments data considered by many as private and sansa to
2:08 am
travelers from countries refusing to share the information will have to apply for a visa to enter of us however some e.u. states like austria and germany have already agreed to hand over the personal data of its citizens in june the e.u. and the united states signed a so-called swift deal giving american government officials access to all bank transactions. and austrian politician a member of the european parliament says there are no guarantees the data won't be misused provided. the requirements for data protection in europe are not met like they should be every time when it comes to terror and prevention of terror and measures and collaboration between states between the united states and european states then we have this big big problem that. the same requirements that for us in europe normal cannot be
2:09 am
met within the usa so this is an ongoing debate in lots of issues it's not only swift its. passengers. collected when one is flying overseas so we have the. problem that the u.s. except expect us to adapt to their standards but it's very difficult to convince them that they should alter at that. two hours concerning especially data protection there is no selection of critical mass state which is transferred. into certain days or certain. countries but it's not differentiated we have to collaborate that's clear if there's a clear. case about some people about some transfers then we really have to
2:10 am
go for it but if it is mass state that proves processed this can be misused and we really have difficulties to control which you the us makes of today that they get we still. see member states that are reluctant to agree to that because they seem to have not the same rights on the other side of the atlantic firstly and secondly the structure of the data bases in the us and in europe is very diverse. well another member of the european parliament roger helmer says the e.u. is going to see more on the rest do you know divisions within it and you can catch the full interview with a british politician in about twenty minutes time here in r.t. but here's a quick preview. if i could see a long period all quite serious process on wrist but the
2:11 am
political and broader economic questions of really very interesting we're seeing that the german people are becoming extremely reluctant to be the bankers of last resort for the euro zone germans who retired sixty five don't want to keep paying money to greece where they retire at fifty eight in order to maintain a mediterranean lifestyle so these deep unhappiness. i think comes down to these few of the euro currency the euro skeptics of the would say the euro the euro currency couldn't work because you had disparate economies with different economic cycles they called to have the same military policy of the what we call to have the same currency frankly for best part of ten years as the euro seemed to work sort of all right and people say well you predicted all these disasters nothing's going wrong well now it has and this is exactly what we expected.

alleged russian gun runner victor borge is awaiting a decision on his extradition from thailand to the us some media reports suggest it could be just a matter of days and with an american aircraft carrier docked and a local poured both relatives fear for his future we in august his bank our bureau chief again bill and he has the details. as a type of court rulings clears the way for future routes possible extradition to the united states of america he's the relatives and lawyers here for his life which wife believes that washington is planning to force a confession out of him to be fixed but it's quite possible the extradite him and just look him up on some. if kraft kariya and force him to give whatever testimony the us wants him to give i think he'll go as far as it takes to get it and i'm sure everyone understands there plaintiff ways to do it these days starting with chemical sense psychological pressure and we know that there is an american aircraft carrier the u.s.s.
2:13 am
george washington and a port in the thai ports near bangkok right now and it is probably there standing by to take with her but at way the. case is being looked into while there's a u.s. aircraft carrier anchored right beside the time i don't know if this was done deliberately to pressurize the thai court but i think that fact alone leaves you asking questions what's certain is that america is desperate to get its hands on the preamble the merchant of death but many question the reasons behind the intense pressure some believe influential officials in washington want him in jail to justify the millions of dollars of taxpayers' money that went into seven years of the chase stand and do the seemingly elaborate sting operation that the russian businessman in a thai courtroom most lawyers a lot can you throughout the week who receive the part of his education in america has previously spoken about of the injustice that would occur if the extradition

takes place everything i was taught about justice many years ago in new york seems to be totally forgotten by the american side in this case i believe that victor boot has no chance of a fair trial in the united states said the lawyer in an interview last year and fabricated evidence is also a major concern for those unconvinced that america would come docked a fair hearing. but it's thing and i think that if mr booth were just stand trial in a u.s. court with this case would be used to discredit russian arms exports in general we know that the u.s. competes with russia on the global weapons market as we know. so the competition isn't always fair we all remember the sanctions that were introduced against russian companies and then revoked as being in justified in other words we know the us is prone to manipulate information and i think that would give the us an opportunity to resort to those methods yet again. there's. speculation
