the u.s. sees a spike in islamophobia rather again hate crimes as american society frustrated by konami hardships is also split by embrace. the european parliament's divided over washington's demands to provide more personal data of new citizens so i would say as it can the world our potential terrorist traveling to the us. i will look at how one breaking discovery at a russian clinic is now saving lives and giving help children with leukemia. believes in us the best way for a month to be top of the russet calling as of its second day in moscow to bring you the highlights of that in our business program.

watching r.t. coming to live from moscow i'm marina joshie welcome to the program for here is 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 little conflict but it seems that isn't true anymore with a fresh wave of xenophobia sweeping through the country maria port now has more. america is supposed to be a nation of tolerance. but bleeding for 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 probably one of them. 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 unreasonable fear or hatred of the unfamiliar especially people of other race or religion muslim associated with bill that's everybody knows the no fly list has ninety nine names most of them sorry sacks created what he calls mobile art aviation a missile decorated with signs equating islam to terrorism at the front a mannequin dressed as an arab there is no disrespect there is no sex drives this display all over new york this. is ziad ramadan is the executive director of the council of american islamic relations his new york office repeatedly receives hate mail like this picture of a burning korans there's been

a spike in obvious by. hate crimes and islamophobia correct and attacks on mosques throughout the country from temecula california to sheboygan wisconsin to tennessee to the to the planned qur'an burning on nine eleven he's or are crimes that are motivated by. hate or intolerance or bigotry a rage that amnesty international believes is being exploited not tempered by politicians all across america and now she's going to have the right to put out a. shyne actually had the pleasure museum in washington and would never accept the japanese going to show you next to pearl harbor was no reason for us to show to moscow that's true trade center at tea parties around the country frustrations over taxes and joblessness are aimed more directly at u.s. president barack obama this a go you could be able slip you know what i don't know what the it is i cannot make

up what the president is but the reason to suspect it is because you're talking like what stop talking like i mean. according to the f.b.i. obama has garnered more death threats than any other american president in the u.s. immigrants have also become the other arrested and detained in arizona beaten and bruised in new york were racial tensions have erupted in some low income neighborhoods unfortunately most of the attacks most restricted by blacks against mexicans violence many attribute to the struggling u.s. economy if you're a mexican immigrant right and people think that you're a threat maybe third job or something like that they're going through a song one basket that's the bottom line anything who looks different all the sudden becomes bad an alarming downturn in america's mood it clearly illustrates how frustrated and divided public but this leaves many asking if the land founded on freedom is becoming a land and soon i hate. fortnight party new york. and we've got

plenty more to come this hour including reality chap. the problem with the games is supposed to showcase that he's alive as a world class city in this new all the god there is no place for the city slums no wonder then that these nation feels that these boards would help project the best piece of the city family look at what's hidden behind a fake facelift in the capital received before the arrival of the commonwealth games. raising hopes to find out how. many children in russia successfully battle with kenya thanks to a groundbreaking treatment. alleged russian gun runner victor borge is awaiting 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 boots relatives fear for his future bangkok bureau chief getting bail

and he has the details. as a thai court ruling clears the way for victor woods possible extradition to the united states of america his relatives and lawyers fear for his life boats wife believes that washington is planning to force a confession out of him stumble because it's quite possible the links to dine 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 he'll go as far as it takes to get it and i'm sure everyone understands there are 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. george washington in a port in a type or it's near bangkok right now and it is probably there standing by to take with her but away the boots case is being looked into while there's a u.s. aircraft carrier anchored right beside it but time by don't know if this was done

deliberately to pressurize the thai court but i think that fact alone leaves you asking questions what certainly 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 thai courtroom woops lawyer 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 conduct a fair hearing. 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 us 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 bad. 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 denies doing and says charges against him are politically motivated he's also determined

to keep fighting on tuesday judges dismissed of 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. u.s. documentary filmmaker danny schachter believes victory both cases being there is 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 who you know can be the magic man the genes of the person who is lurking to smear him in the james bond movie since you know the. organization of organizations 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 is 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 russian and i think there's a case to be made here. anger is growing in europe about a new washington data sharing demands of what they call a move to stop potential terrorists from answering the u.s. their requirements include fingerprints d.n.a. samples and cross border payments they have considered by many as private and sensitive travelers from countries refusing to share the information will have to apply for a visa to enter the u.s. however some states like austria and germany have already agreed to hand over the personal data of its citizens in june that you in the united states signed

a so-called swift deal giving american government officials access to all bank transactions within europe at all let them berger an austrian politician a member of parliament says there are no guarantees that data won't be misused if provided for. the requirements for data protection in europe not make it like they should be every time when it comes to terror and prevent. 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 are normal cannot be met within the usa so this is an ongoing debate in lots of issues it's not only swift it's also appear now to pass passengers data that are

collected when one is flying overseas so we have a. problem that the us except expect us to adapt to their standards but it's very difficult to convince them that they should alter two hours concerning especially data protection there is no selection of critical mass state which is terms for. coding to a certain days or certain. countries but it's not differentiate it we have to collaborate that's clear if there is a clear. case about some people about some transfers then we really have to go for it but if it is mass state out that proves processed this can be misused and we really have difficulties to control which you the u.s.

makes of the data that they get we still. see member states are reluctant to agree to do it because they seem to have not the same rights on the other side of the atlantic firstly and secondly the structure of the databases in the u.s. and in europe is very diverse. while another member of the european parliament roger helmer says the e.u. is going to see more unrest due to the divisions within it and you can catch the full and rear of the british politician about twenty minutes time here on r t but here's a quick preview. i could see a long period all quite serious process and on rest but the political and broader economic questions a really very interesting we're seeing that the german people are becoming streambed are reluctant to be the bankers of last resort for the euro zone germans

who retired that 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 the issue of the euro currency the euro skeptics of the would say that the euro the euro currency couldn't work because you had disparate economies with different economic cycles they called to have the same monetary 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 no it has and this is exactly what we expected. and the largest sporting event ever to have taken place in india kicked off this weekend billions have been spent on staging the commonwealth games the president of the international olympic committee says the nations set a solid foundation for a future olympics a bit of current saying find out everything's not quite as good as the authorities

would have you believe. across the board 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. and shouldn't be seen or politicians take your votes but they stay 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 administration feels that these boards will help project the best face of the city pushing away the reality that may exist 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 through the gaps to avoid the

long new roof is another there's no water here this is the biggest problem for us there used to be one tap 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. family believe this development has bypassed that. if the government had provided some amenities for us even to probe the houses for us to live in would have been great for you or they could have opened a school in the slum and bided us with drinking water when the commonwealth games and the birds will come down but for the early slum residents life will continue to be tough for them long term life improving changes are needed not short of cosmetic ones got and saying ah gee. let's now take

a look at some other stories from around the world and in southwest pakistan government says why two twenty five nato oil tankers and shot a driver of a supply convoy heading for ghana stand it's the latest driving gas fuel shipments since pakistan shut a key border crossing last week it's of the action after a nato helicopter attack inside its territory killed three pakistani soldiers the strikes on the supply routes are straining already tans relations between washington and islamabad. a cleanup operations underway in western hungary after waves of toxic sludge swept through the area killing four and one thing over one hundred that the loser of a red colored slurry was on leave from a reservoir and then a woman a plan burst rescue workers are fighting to prevent the sludge from reaching the river danube the authorities have called it a lot of disaster. it used to be a disease that very few children survived but thanks to a breakthrough by

has the consumer china only south eastern border so it's doubly blessed but you have to temper that seem to be sure about the result of the explosion of his suit i'll probably use if you just use it. for every day expenditure doesn't work got to do you've got to build the infrastructure go to the general post you like to get mark's value out of this crisis and so household do you think it's going to be a school for shirts and most nights. well that's the problem and it needs to particularly in eastern siberia whether it's demographics there are only one point one million people in the region and about fifty eight million people in the head of generation china. and so that demographic potential needs properly to be exposure and i think that's what the real growth story is a new asian tiger based on russia's natural resources and chinese consumption and
