the extradition of the alleged russian gun runner think the bullet from taiwan to the u.s. could take place in just a matter of days his lawyers however plan to appeal for decision which cleared the way for the handover of. european parliament's divided over washington's demands to provide more personal data of e.u. citizens so as it can root out potential terrorists traveling to the u.s. . and the u.s. sees it by can islamophobia rather it can hate crimes as american society frustrated by economic hardships is also swayed by racial tangents.

you're watching r t live from moscow with me marina joshie welcome alleged russian gun runner viktor abou it could be extradited from thailand to the u.s. in just a matter of days russia's foreign minister has expressed hope the u.s. won't try to press the decision while boots lawyers have said they will file an appeal that is likely to delay the process in august he's banco bureau chief getting bail and he has the details. as a thai court ruling clears the way for victor boots possible extradition to the united states of america his relatives and lawyers fear for his life moves wife believes that washington is planning to force a confession out of him and it's quite possible they likes 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 they'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 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 thai courtroom move small oir

a lot can you throughout the week who received 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. 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 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 us an

opportunity to resort to those methods yet again the. 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 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. now u.s. documentary filmmaker danny schechter believes victory both cases being used to maintain cold war era stereotypes about of 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 shit in a 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 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 russia and i think there's a case to be made here. if you want to like the line from moscow we've got plenty

more to come your way including a reality check. the problem with the games is supposed to. be as a world class city in this new although there is no place for the city slums no wonder then that the administration feels that these boards with the best of the city. have a look at what's hidden behind a fake facelift the indian capital received before the arrival of the commonwealth games plus. raising hopes find out how many children russia successfully battle in kenya thanks to a groundbreaking treatment. now anger is growing in europe about a new washington data sharing demands and what they call a move to stop potential terrorists from andrew in the u.s. their requirements include fingerprints d.n.a. samples and cross border payments they are considered by man e s private and sounds that travelers from countries refusing to share the information will have to apply for a visa to and the u.s.

however is something you states like austria and germany have already agreed to hand over the personal data with citizens and june the e.u. and the united states signed a so-called swift deal giving american government officials access to all bank transactions within europe and all the and an austrian politician and member of the european parliament says there are no guarantees that data won't be misused if provided so. the requirements for data protection in europe 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 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. that are collected when one is flying overseas so we have a. problem that the us except expects us to adapt to their standards but it's very difficult to convince them that they should all to two hours concerning especially data protection there is no selection of critical mass state which is transferred. to a certain days or certain. countries but it's not differentiate it we have to collaborate that's clear if there's 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 us makes of the data that they get we still. see member states there 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 database and indeed us and in europe is very diverse. while another member of the european parliament roger helmer says the e.u. is going to see more on the rest due to the divisions within it and you can catch the full interview with the british politician next hour here's a quick preview though. it's. all quite serious process. but the political and broader. economic questions really very interesting we're

seeing that the the german people are becoming streamlet reluctant to be the bankers of last resort for the euro zone germans who retire at 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 this deep unhappiness. i think comes down to the issue of the euro currency the euro skeptics of always said that 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 when it has and this is exactly what we expected. for years the united states was the biggest creature 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 the a phobia 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. 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 of the unfamiliar especially people of other race or religion muslim associated with bill that's everybody knows there's no fly in these there's ninety nine names

a rage that amnesty international believes is being exploited not tempered by politicians all across america now she is going to have the right to for doubt. actually had a cash museum in washington would never accept the japanese going to show you next to pearl harbor was the reason for us to show to moscow actually we're encouraged that tea parties around the country frustrations over taxes and joblessness are aimed more directly at u.s. president barack obama is saying oh you can you know 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 you 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 where racial tensions have erupted in some low income

neighborhoods unfortunately most of the attacks most restricted by blacks against mexican 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 to a job or something like that we're going to throw a saw in 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. now we read lots more for you on our website r.t. dot com here's a look at some of what might catch your eye we're. going back to nature to get clean we take a look at a school tucked away in the mountains of ukraine's crimea the teachers drug addicts how to kick the habit using the power of spirituality. and what

visible most of its two thousand residents are not surprised by the action. the government considers us dirty it could give us land to relocate who'd have thunk them instead to hide just to put a curtain up as if we're dirty and shouldn't be seen our politicians take their votes but they stay in palaces 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 even 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 new route is 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 the infrastructure for the games yet slum residents such as right the family believe this development has bypassed the. if the government had provided some amenities for us even to proper houses for us to live in we would have been grateful or they could have opened a school in the slum provided us with drinking water. when the government about the games and the birds. but for the slum residents life will continue to be for their . bruising changes are needed not sure. got in seeing. you there. was not a look at some other stories from around the world and a british diplomatic motorcade has been targeted by suspected militants in yemen an embassy staff member and three bystanders were wounded in the mortar attack in the capital sanaa this comes just days after security in the city was stepped up on

a minute old people let the terms of the the old know something is about to diversify really free t.v. the big problem in the rush oh you know there's not enough middle size for this one it's more an indication of the problems of. the lack of competition the problems of the business environment and the very strong regional variation in business that are. joined from far by correspondent. so one of the ongoing discussions at the forum is which talk russia should take in further economic development so what's the latest on that. that's right kareen alongside such topics as innovation on the role of natural resources as being a lot here discussed on how russia should best go ahead and what sort of where you can omit model issue to use in terms of achieving sustained economic growth and joining me now to discuss this in more detail i'm joined by all it has been ski

press of economics at yale university thank you very much for joining us and speaking to us this hour so you've been looking at today the new growth agenda for russia over the next you know three to five years i'm russia is presented with several different economic models that of the top down approach like we see in in singapore and also one which liberalizes not just the economy but also the political system which one do you think russia will choose. what we call the buffer addiction for an economy scenario. if the oil price remains of someone to eighty dollars a barrel. they kaname is likely going to and the period of stagnation and the brashness like stagnation of the seventy's and the eighty's that is this will happen if there are no serious economic reforms being undertaken right now one has to remember that there are is a relatively rich country by the world standards and at this level of g.d.p.

per capita one can only grow if there is a broad based innovation economists and. a period of economic growth is in the past so now one has to do a lot of incentives to innovate the incentives in the future growth and unfortunately the top down economic policy all of this has been tried the vertical the horizontal economic kind of appalls industrial policy has been tried so now to grow a sustainable sustainably fostered a levels one has to think about the new strategy for economic growth which is based on economic reforms and schools that russia face in making their uniforms the main obstacle is that there is no demand for reforms or would have seen in the increase in overall government companies and government in general in the economy we have seen the values of our friends are clear all anti-market and anti-reform so there is no demand for economic reforms and say what do you think of the priorities then

for russia for the russian government for russian businesses in times of creating an innovative economy so the key is to create demand forty four percent of the two top priority this is the first one as per ization to create is the amount of government involvement in the economy not just the birds ization all the minority it. a minority shares in the large government companies but the broad based. most of the large companies which are not interested in the reformists are sold out to private and mattress the second is drastic. regulation all the small businesses because we all know that the small businesses are usually the most. proponents of economic reforms the private protection of the private property the economic institutions which are. conducive to economy growth and i'm from your opinion from this today of the last couple of days do you think that that's going to be possible

for us to hear what you are unfortunately i think to come back to what i saw in the very beginning i think of the price of oil is seven dollars per barrel my prediction is that the economy over archer is going to move the. much slower economic growth in the truth all the way. from yale university thank you very much speaking to us this hour and that's the latest from the investment forum here and back in studio all thank you. for the reporting from the international investment forum in moscow. now let's take a quick look at how the markets are doing asian stock markets close solid gains on wednesday japan's nikkei is trading one point seven percent higher have markets are lifted by gold minus the price of gold its all time highs australia's new quest mining is three percent higher and hong kong's least in shelters by two point eight percent china's markets remain closed for gold and we call it the.
