you're watching are you coming to live from moscow eleven am here marina joshie welcome to the program now for years the united states was the biggest preacher of tolerance in the world and it was justly proud of its melting pot of nationalities living side by side with a little conflict but it seems that isn't true anymore with a fresh wave of xenophobia sweeping through the country has more. america is supposed to be a nation of tolerance. but bleeding through her stars and stripes. and ugliness incapable of masking protests against the construction of new mosques illegal immigration and economic reform point to a fear and frustration. an emotional climate experts say where many americans are swapping patriotism for nationalism definitely is a phobia it's a fear of the other zina phobia is defined as an unknown reasonable fear or hatred

immigrants have also become the other arrested and detained in arizona be. bruised in new york were racial tensions have erupted in some low income neighborhoods unfortunately most of the attacks most recently been by blacks against mexican violence many attribute to the struggling u.s. economy if you're a mexican immigrant right and people think that your threat maybe third job or something like that they're going through a saw in one basket that's the bottom line anything who looks different all the sudden becomes bad and alarming downturn in america's mood clearly illustrates how frustrated and divided public but this leaves many housekeeping of the land founded on freedom is becoming a land and soon i hate. fortnight party in new york. and we've got plenty more coming your way here in our team quoting reality chap. the commonwealth

games are supposed to show that he's arriving as a world class city in this new all that are there is no place for the city slums no wonder then that the administration feels that these boards will help project the best of the city. and will look at what's hidden behind a fake facelift in the capital received before the arrival of the commonwealth games plus. raising hopes find out how many children in russia successfully battle leukemia thanks to a groundbreaking treatment. before that alleged russian gun runner victor borge is waiting a decision on his extradition from thailand to the u.s. some media reports suggest it could be just a matter of days and with an american aircraft carrier docked in a local poor booth relatives fear for his future bangkok bureau chief of getting bail and he has the details. as a thai court ruling clears the way for them to routes possible extradition to the united states of america he's

a relatives and lawyers fear for his life moves wife believes that washington is planning to force a confession out of him i don't believe that it's quite possible there are links to dine him and just look him up on some craft kariya and force him to give whatever testimony the u.s. wants him to give i think he'll go as far as it takes to get it and i'm sure everyone understands the plaintiff ways to do these days starting with chemical since psychological pressure and we know that there is an american aircraft carrier the u.s.s. george washington and a port in a type or near bangkok right now and it is probably there standing by to take that tribute away. boots case is being looked into while there's a u.s. aircraft carrier anchored right beside it but 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 man they call 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 tributes che's hand and to the seemingly elaborate sting operation that landed the russian businessman in a tight courtroom move slowly or a lot can you throughout the week who receive the part of his education in america has previously spoken about 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 evan. this is also a major concern for those unconvinced that america would come docked a fair hearing if you will but it's i think that if mr boot were to stand trial in

a u.s. court 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 and we know the competition isn't always fair we all remember the sanctions that were introduced against russian companies and then revoked as being unjustified in other words we know the u.s. is prone to manipulate information and i think the boot case would give the u.s. an opportunity to resort to those methods yet again. there's been. speculation but booties a bargaining chip to secure a supply of fighter jets and a cheap american will if his extradited the russian businessman repeatedly did. and says charges against him are politically motivated he's also determined to keep fighting on tuesday judge has dismissed the new charges of money laundering and fraud which means that now he can be extradited on the previous charges of an

alleged conspiracy to kill u.s. citizens and material support of terrorism he has documentary filmmaker danny schechter believes victor boots case is being used to demonize russia. there are many who don't recognize that the soviet union is gone and that the new russia is not the old soviet union but we need an enemy in their view and russia is just as good as any other and the idea that somehow boo you know can be the magic man that the person who is lurking to smear in the james bond movie sense you know the. organisation of organisations that so secret we don't know anything about it it also seems to play well in the media because the more information that can be offered often without any evidence the better the story is in the case of blood here's a guy who's been accused and now basically supposedly going to be extradited to the

united states the mastermind the merchant of death all the labels have already been affixed to him but it's really unclear if there will be any extradition because russia sees this as an effort to demonize a russia and i think there's a case to be made here. and anger is growing in europe about new washington data sharing demands and what they call a move to stop potential terrorist from and here in the u.s. the requirements include fingerprints d.n.a. samples and cross border payments data considered by many as private and sensitive travelers from countries refusing to share the information will have to apply for a visa to answer the u.s. however some 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 with a new or more on the debate going on in the european parliament i'm joined by one

of its members german politician alexander alvaro center thank you very much for being here with us in the program now the u.s. is demanding more and more data as we know from the european union but what sort of guarantees does it provide that information won't be misused. basically was in the agreements if there are any guarantees of the war and we had to negotiate in because of course we're very interested that the data of our citizens is not in any way abused or misused because for example we have managed to have no official in washington overview of the extraction and use of the data because of course among partners there is trust but it's always better to be in the control side too. in your opinion why does the united states need so much personal information on travelers going to the states. well the united states are exploiting their demand for the personal data we need to fight terrorism though it is true that was in your

we sometimes have to doubt the amount of personal data including social security numbers question of religion are really necessary in the fight against terrorism so within our negotiations with the u.s. we definitely are asking for prove their requests the data is in total necessary and we are trying to limit the number of datasets which are actually being requested but sent over to the united states well so far it seems like it's one way but tell us if there has been or if there is going to be any recent prosody in this . well. one of the key elements we're trying to work on it is truly not necessarily very easy in the negotiations to achieve that but to guarantee that for example was in the transfer of financial transaction we will have a surprise that the european union will work on a system which will be able to extract its financial transaction data by itself based on our own software system and one set is in place and we are able to send

the data to the united states for the purpose of counter-terrorism we also will request data from the united states which then will be examined by our intelligence is to. some i actually think i mean looking at what's going on in europe and their reaction to this that especially given the fact that some countries are already giving in to u.s. pressures why is it that you are. to some may seem that europe is reluctant to give in to to resist rather to demands of the united states. because we certainly have different standards concerning data protection and a different approach towards the data of citizens maybe than the united states we feel that we are much more in charge of protecting the interests of our citizens and specially how their personal data was so there is a general reluctance you to hand out personal citizens and in that case not only to the u.s. but for us as important whenever we handed out to our partners that we actually

know what they're doing with the data if it's distributed among different agencies or even worse passed on to other countries. and i'm going are you representing germany and the european parliament and your country has really complied with the u.s. demands you were just earlier talking about the reaction to this on the official level but what about the people in general do they think it was a good idea. well it depends definitely who you would because some people are very concerned about their personal data and very reluctant in general if. is in charge of the distributes and examines them or even those data mining some might only focus on security side and believe very whatever measures necessary to fight terrorism they will give into it somewhere the truth is in between and i believe also that the vast majority of our population questions if it is necessary any sort of personal information credit card number personal details address whatever is

transferred to another country and basically a special issue you've been mentioning we see us as much as we understand as partners we do question the tone of the requests because blackmailing is one thing corporations certainly is another one ok alexander of our german politician a member of the parliament thanks very much indeed for sharing your views with us here in the program on our team. the largest sporting event advert to have taken place an india kicked off this week billions have been spent on staging the commonwealth games the president of the international olympic committee says the nation set a solid foundation for a future olympics bid but as current saying fans out everything's not quite as good as the worries would have you believe. across the boards showcasing the commonwealth games have sprung up trying to hide the city's poverty but these haven't been entirely successful here in boston for the heart the slum is still

visible most of its two thousand residents are not surprised by the action. the government considers its dirty it could give us a lot to relocate them instead of too high just to put a curtain up as if we are and shouldn't be seen in our politicians take your votes but this stage in. the commonwealth games are supposed to showcase delis arrival as a world class city in this new avatar there is no place for the city slums no wonder then that the station feels that these boards will help project the best face of the city pushing away the reality that means just behind them people in the slum now have to circle around the whole barricade to fetch water from the other side children to have to squeeze themselves in and out through the gaps to avoid the long. as another i mean there's no water here this is the biggest problem for us there used to be one town close by but there's been shut so we have to walk to get water from far away the government has spent at least four point six billion

dollars on upgrading infrastructure for the games yet slum residents such as what the family believes this development has bypassed that it's a bunny if the government had provided some amenities for us even to proper houses for us to live in would have been grateful or they could have opened a school in the slum and bided us with drinking water. when the commonwealth games and the books will come down but for the only slum residents life will continue to be tough for them long term life improving changes are needed not short term cosmetic ones got and saying. let's have a look at some other stories from around the world and in southwest pakistan government satellite. said lie to lease twelve nato oil tankers and shot a driver of a supply convoy heading for a gamma stand it's the latest strike against fuel shipments since pakistan shut a key border crossing last week it took the action after

a nato helicopter attack inside its territory killed three pakistani soldiers the strikes on the supply routes are straining already tense relations between washington and islamabad. cleanup operations underway in western hungary after ways of toxic sludge swept through the area killing four of winning over one hundred the delusion of bright colored slurry was unleashed when the reservoir at an. aluminum rather planned burst rescue workers are fighting to prevent the sludge from reaching the river danube and the authorities have called it and it's a logical disaster. it is used to be a disease that very few children survive but thanks to a breakthrough by a clinic in russia seventy percent of young sufferers of leukemia now make a full recovery sarah furth looks at the first success story. kareena is seven years old but if it hadn't been for a pioneering new treatment she wouldn't have even seen her first birthday. she was

a model when she started developing a strange new rash the first we thought was malaria then we found out it was an infant leukemia was prudent dance of care for the forecast wasn't good she was treated here and she catch remember greta you know children's hospital both doctors and patients unaware at the time that they were on the verge of a breakthrough they found their. own son her disease anymore by their grace of him with therapy we decided to use of the. all round survey to. be kimi thrice in image or blood cells and trans regional acid which is better known as vessel know it forces those cells to develop stopping the league kenya from spreading although not a new treatment ever been used on adults before. once we start the new treatment green are starting to wonder we got the news we've been praying for

that she was better. this new treatment combining both s. noise and chemotherapy was so successful it even surprised the doctors and has been prescribed to many other patients sense with encouraging results advances in treatment here at the hospital have been like market now have a much better chance of recovery just twenty years to gauge drugs to treat infinitely kenya well harder to come by in russia they correct usage a little nine and the survival rate was below ten percent now with the survival rate is seventy percent pediatric oncology has made tremendous progress and we found their results so good that we can introduce it to the world and she is also working very closely with countries such as germany to develop their. expertise and helping to share the knowledge and experience they gave corrina a second chance school would be the one most important thing for parents when

things like this happen is to be patient you really can't give up. and not can spread globally countries may not agree on many things but when it comes to battling cancer they find a common voice that means clam breaking discoveries like this can save children's lives around the world's surface r.t. you catch him. time now for a business update with kareena don't go away. hello and welcome to our business program going to have you with us the international investment for all of you to be capital russia calling it has carved out a way of moscow events aimed at bringing foreign investment capital to the russian market has attracted more than forty speakers that will bring you the latest comments and reactions throughout the day.

first vice president of the private sector the world bank group spoke to r.t. about the challenges that the emerging markets are facing i think for the emerging markets to challenge and so i think one is that the the product of the crisis has also required countries to the position financial sense right so. cities like moscow all right signal hong kong baby doll see hopeful sort of becoming a. regional financial center it's a whole the physician themselves right. there but it's got a pretty. and i'm not joined by a chorus wash our laws follow who as at events hello to charlotte good to see is one of the main topics being discussed today. while kareena yesterday was the turn of the high ranking politicians officials to take the stage ned their views about

the state of the russian economy and how do these things and now basically the focus is turn to panel discussions detailed discussions giving the opportunity to discuss the hot topics like innovation the how to attract foreign investment and also how to sustain growth in the russian economy while also maintaining stability now as discuss at these issues bergdahl i'm very pleased to be joined by sygate the ria good recs at the new economic school here in washington ferry much for generations by this hour so what would you say have been the case scientists all discussions here so far today so i have been wondering in the discussion of my prick in the mix and we also looked at gold factors russian and apparently the main conclusion was that russia is facing a superior system my thinking on everything stationary is very savvy still a disposable fiscal policy russia is having the budget deficit right now and it's

actually very far from balanced the budget for the next few years and therefore russia needs modernization russia needs to make government more accountable to fact and transparent fashion needs to fight corruption and rushing into forms and give these two things happen russia will grow faster than the current to project the city of four percent and i would say that four percent now looks as an optimistic number. three percent is a more realistic number which is not enough to make russia competitive difficult to make russia catch up with police you can't just run for the house it being sold for auction understates national policy to come here and just because different i did well i think the international clients are to be kaput. emotional investors always enjoy this confidence just because they have them because the mirrors have a chance to ask direct questions to the policymakers and also know this and invest since they get

a number of. informational inputs on all the tickling was that they can use and they're more when they go back and think how much to invest which which sectors to invest in and there's another hot topic that has been put forward to say is the potential must go to become an international financial center how realistic stick that goal is and what's most likely to do to change. we are actually involved the police tell us the same thing food wise mr lawson on canvas matters. in these idealistic projects. over the longer term moscow can become a competitive financial center in five to ten years most will not compete with london in five years but most of can compete with the claim by china and for that a lot of work and get done this work should have been done anyway so i think the city force will raise the competitiveness of press and financial system in a moscow as a seat in whatever happens and the good news is that this just force all together

a concept for push includes a number of reforms in many directions from visa issues of promotion in the english language promotion the fresh outside of russia and also the form in the financial infrastructure reform in the transport infrastructure in moscow city so i think all of this reforms inaction certain even in school there is a project which was to get out of this action plan and starts implementing the sounds of a lot of things left to discuss hit savings very much as they gave her a much right to the economic playing field and i thank you very much so as you heard that is plenty of things left guscott today and also he will be paid to bring you the latest. thank you charlotte and your guests for joining the program thanks very much. and i'll take a look at how the markets are doing. asian stocks fall solid gains on wednesday japan's nikkei is trading point one point eight percent higher after markets are lifted by gold miners as the price of gold hits all time highs australia's new crest mining is three percent higher and hong kong is used to mining tackle two
