right if you see from feinstein. starts on t.v. dot com. alleged

russian government a victim put us attempts to get it makes her doctor from time he's known as plan to appeal any court decision that would see him shipped else. we can't allow ourselves to be out communicated by our enemies a major us media boss wants more money to battle international competitors he says a winning over the hearts and minds of viewers across the world. and when europe put fresh u.s. demands for data sharing critics say america is imposing on personal privacy is under the pretense of fighting terrorism.

live from our studios here in central moscow this is r.t. with you twenty four hours a day. says it's moving closer to a decision on whether alleged russian gun smuggler victim should be extradited to the u.s. the country's prime minister said the handover period could last more than three months if it's deemed necessary it will remain in a thai jail and into these legal team appeals the. his verdict well to sean thomas' been following the developments. victor boot has certainly created a name for himself some call him the merchant of death or even the lord of war but to sear gabled victor's brother he's seen simply as a great business mind just sort of the first course he had the drive in quite an outstanding talent to organize and run business that's what was great working with him but the mood was arrested in two thousand and eight in bangkok thailand the during a sting operation and accused of trying to sell weapons to colombian fark militants

the u.s. has been trying to extradite ever since he claims he's innocent and has only operated as an international businessman providing logistics for shipping but his brother doesn't understand what is driving the american push against him which will spits little leaper making a monster out of him and if you think about it the victim has been out of the business for over ten years what sort of secret information can he possibly not possess he has not been out of the country and he hasn't talked to any artist artist but i stand the years that he was out of the business he couldn't work anymore because everywhere he went to the us government tried to obstruct his work i guess the u.s. special service has some straight unloads his cousin but but there is increased pressure from america and the political connections within the thai government for a decision to be made a lot of phone calls have been made from the united states to thailand obviously to the prime minister's office and this is another part of the this delicious irony of the thai prime minister hold the americans are saying is actually working for the

victor borge is actually working for the americans because he's not only is a british war but also all of british passport which means he's obviously subservient to the british american interest and with the power of american banking some say the incentive is right for thailand to play ball but america has promised thailand's fighter jets and cheap oil if the decision goes their way if he's next trade to america and stands trial an american south. i think than ever they will be on public property but might happen is that they would like to extradite him but not have a face trial in america but to be in a prison another country as they have done with other people so that we don't know and people don't really know what's going on and there are questions about the legality of the extradition process and of the motives of the united states but those who are close to victor boot say they are more concerned about his welfare and safety that make up and it's quite possible they like sudan team and just lock him up in 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 to get it. and now the question if true justice is even a possibility lots of the images we will see what i think there's nothing left of american democracy today the u.s. regime is the same or worse than stallion's reign was or any action is depicted as if they try to characterize it but everything is classified they have secret prisons where they torture people and inject them with similar chemicals to extract information they're willing to resort to any means to get what they want which. now with the possibility of victor boot extradition growing closer to reality those who remain convinced of his innocence are still keeping up the fight the stoughton is there still for the but we're still hoping victor will be freed we believe he might be it's hard for regular people like us to fight the u.s. machines look at them and we'll look at us what do we have to back this up it's like a man fighting an elephant and it's hard for us to get through this we're hoping

for just as with we haven't seen any in the past three years. sean thomas r.t. . russian chinese and iranian news channels are being labeled enemies by the us sponsored media organization which oversees programming directed at foreign audiences the broadcasting board of governors says it needs new money to fight the growing danger. we can't allow ourselves to be out communicated by our enemies there's that freedom house report that reveals that today's autocratic leaders are investing billions of dollars in media resources to influence the global opinion you've got russia today iran's press t.v. venezuela's telos and of course china is a lodging international broadcasting twenty four hour news channels correspondents around the world when i name my colleague shane spoke to auntie's political commentator peter the bell he thinks the chairman statement puts him beyond real journalism. the south a city in conflict c.n.n.

took the side voice of america took the side of georgia iran two thousand and three the drive to war i mean this is nothing to do with journalism it's about soft power and pushing the american foreign policy agenda and it looks like the chairman is a little worried that the world isn't believing him or his organizations any more. ok but how do you react to the chair referring to russia as an enemy because it's and says we cannot allow ourselves to be out communicated by our enemies now isn't this ruining his mission statement of reporting news are not creating enemies i guess he doesn't have anything to do with journalism ok because that's what we're supposed to do is journalist is give you facts maybe give you perspective but he's making it sound like it's just a media war and he treats everyone that is his competitor in a competitor of the united states as an enemy he says a clear out twenty years after the end of the cold war one has to wonder who's

going to how it has changed and who hasn't stayed and it's really remarkable but i'm not surprised at the same time if we if we just step back for a moment and look at the broader scope i mean if you really want to put this all together why would he make such comments because he we have a depressed economy in the united states will probably be a double dip and there are priorities and he's worried about losing budgets he's got he's from c.n.n. time magazine and you say look at our competitors are pouring money into soft power they're pouring money into alternative journalism they're pouring money into the truth i would say and they're afraid that you know their organizations and i get the word out anymore they need to keep fighting cold wars and they're afraid that because we won't. one american media is looking for enemies else side on the inside the country's facing a rise of racial hatred. if you're a mexican immigrant right and people think that your threat maybe third job or something like that going to throw us on one basket anything who looks different

all the sudden becomes bad muslims or mexicans in mind the faces on a phobia in the everyday lives we have a report for you here on r.t. . also medical breakthrough find out how doctors in russia are given hope to children fighting and deadly disease. but first new data sharing demands from washington a causing anger in europe the u.s. could gain access to fingerprints d.n.a. samples banking details and other private and sensitive information the u.s. says it just wants to stop potential terrorist from entering the country travelers from states refusing to share the information will not have to apply for an american visa some countries like austria and germany have already agreed to hand over the personal data of citizens in june the e.u. in the united states signed the so-called swift deal which gives american officials access to all bank transactions within europe were rude to a portuguese politician a member of european parliament says washington doesn't want to allow the e.u. the same access. at this point we are sending about nine ninety six million

bits of financial transfers ninety million messages financial messages each month to the united states so this is billions a year and. the european citizens turn to us just to ask how is this happening at this point the flow of that is from the e.u. to the u.s. and there's a theoretical possibility of diverting this this. data but still ethical reciprocity it's not real reciprocity and asymmetrical reciprocity it's not reciprocity so at this point we do not address process with united states we between mr brown deal which was rejected by parliament and shift to would. it was approved and then with my fault against but the proved we managed to get a new rupee an overseer in washington which will be looking over the american shoulders as it were and with the power to stop a search that he or she really did not appropriate the problem is that now the

european commission is not willing to tell us the name of this person who isn't in washington so. yes they all say ironic situation where the privacy of one person one representative that should be put up with from the outset this better protected than the privacy of five hundred million european cities we have the citizens with the representatives we are once transparency on their side so if they give us transparency if we know what kind of that is been accessed by whom and when if we have representatives whose name we know then we can you know in the reciprocity between the citizen and the situations we can work in making everybody said. well there's new violence in kurdistan just days ahead of a parliamentary election twenty people have stormed the office of a national opposition political party in the capital bishkek the protest was staged by relatives of those killed in the riots that broke out after the president of the republic was exiled and this year they broke into the party's headquarters burning

quittance and campaigning material it followed a recording and by local media in which the party's leaders said he tended to put peosta president back into power a party spokesman denied allegations saying the tape was edited. for years the united states was the biggest preach of tolerance in the world but something that contemporary us society is losing its reputation is free and open xenophobia nationalistic hate against minorities including islamophobia are on the rise. 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. 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 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 display there is no more sex drives this display all over new york this. is the out of 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 and obvious by. hate crimes and islamophobia correct and attacks on mosques throughout the country from temecula california to

sheboygan wisconsin to tennessee these are our 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 now she's going to have the right to put up a sign next to the holocaust museum in washington you would never accept the japanese are going to have to show you can still call harbor no reason for us to subdue a mosque actually were afraid some tea parties around the country frustrations over taxes and joblessness are aimed more directly at us. obama say oh you can help us look you know what i don't know what the world is i cannot make up what the president is but the reason to suspect him 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 us 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 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 you're a 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 asking if the land founded on freedom is becoming a land and soon i hate. fortnight party new york. well coming up very soon here in the life behind the billboards the indian capitol get some

cosmetic surgery to fool tourists and tell for the commonwealth games. happy birthday mr prime minister future journalists room to congratulate him on the special day. the first used to be a disease that very few children survived but no hopes of a full recovery have become a reality for young patients around the world and it's all thanks to a breakthrough treatment developed in a pioneering clinic in russia's urals. 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 but first we thought it was malaria then we found it was an infant leukemia. at the forecast wasn't good she was treated here actually catch remember greta you know children's hospital doctors and patients unaware at

the time that they were on the verge of a breakthrough. on her disease anymore by their aggressive him with therapy we decided to use of. all brands a bikini thrice an image of blood cells and trans regional acid which is better known as fascinate 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. that she was battered. this new treatment combining both personally 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 chosen like market now have a much better chance of recovery just twenty years ago

a drugs to treat an. harder to come by in russia they correct usage a little nine and the survival rate is below ten percent now with the survival rate is seventy percent pediatric oncology has made tremendous progress 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 hating to share the knowledge and experience that gave kareena a second chance. the one most important thing for parents when things like this happen is to be patient you really can't give up. and match 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 south r.t. . the first attempt to prosecute a suspected terrorist held at guantanamo bay in a civilian court has been delayed after a judge blocks the use of a key witness the trial of ahmed ghailani has been postponed until next week because the key witness emerged during interrogation of a secret cia prison where his lawyers say he was tortured they argue any statements made under duress are in the miscible when it's allegedly sold explosives to me who is charged with plotting the nine hundred ninety eight bombings of two american embassies in africa which killed two hundred twenty four people he's the first guantanamo detainee to be transferred into the u.s. civilian justice system and dr alan singer the director of social studies at hofstra university in new york discusses the issue. the united states claims to represent freedom represent justice represents human rights if you have secret military prisons where people waterboarding and where people are

undergo a sensory deprivation the rest of the world sees this and the rest of the world says american claims to represent righteousness fully so united states is undermining the school position by maintaining a a prison in guantanamo the american legal system is on trial as a well the united states is trying to have it both ways it's accused these people who are being prisoners of war but has been treated as prisoners of war now it's accusing them of being criminals and if they're criminals they need to be tried in civilian court i mean one question is why they're being tried in the united states and not in the areas where the crimes were committed like kenya but. the american legal system is being observed by the whole world right now and i think that the american legal system has the ability to respond if there is evidence that stated it will not be admitted in court. the couple of games in new danielle supposed to be india's moment to show off its rapidly rising wealth the president of the international olympic committee says the nation set a solid foundation for

a future lympics bit but the capital is putting on a fake front of bright billboards to the poverty of shanty homes consing looks at the reality. across the early 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 three hard 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 to high just to put a curtain up. and shouldn't be seen in our politicians take their votes but they stay in says 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 through the gaps to avoid the long new route 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 delis 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 proper houses for us to live in would have been great for him or they could have opened a school in the slum and provided us with drinking water when the commonwealth games and the birds will come down but for the slum residents life will continue to be tough for them long term life improving changes are needed not short term

cosmetic ones got in saying r.t. . so to me a putin has received some unusual birthday gifts in his time anything from rare joke books about him and even a cannon well this year students at moscow state university of come up with a present that's a little more provocative than this from the faculty of journalism of released of sixty calendar dedicated to russia's prime minister and each model is pictured with speech bubbles containing like about a third time or the farther up but i'm still burning some simply say we love you the creators say the idea was to show smart young women can still be beautiful the university however has called the project inappropriate well be back with an update of the headlines for you at the half past the hour but first we have a domino effect a financial disaster spreading through europe polities nor any. home or if the stronger economies should ditch the weaker ones that's a special interview coming up next.

i'm talking to roger helma who's a you're a skeptic member of the european parliament he's very many opposed to further integration with your opinion and also supports renegotiating many of the e.u. case treaties with the e.u. but to have that thank you very much for talking to r.t. festival how would you characterize the u.k.'s relationship with the e.u. there's

a big question we have always been reluctant members of the european union when we joined it we were told that it was merely a trading operation we had a referendum i voted in favor if i had known then what i know now i would have voted against. but we have this unfortunate feeling that on the one hand we don't like it very much we resent all the nonsense on the other hand many people think well europe's a long way away it doesn't affect me very much so let them get on with it in fact of course it does intimately affect the lives of all of us and huge swathes of policy areas are decided in brussels not decided in the u.k. in my view it is making as poorer and less democratic and less free and i believe we would be better off out and do you support this state a referendum on being and if it were possible well i think we should start with the referendum that every major political party in britain promised us which is the referendum on the lisbon treaty what they are now saying is what has been ratified

it's too late no it isn't too late we should have a referendum saying do you accept the terms of the lisbon treaty or do you wish the government to renegotiate those terms and that would give i'm sure we get a renegotiation and so that would give a british government a very strong position a very strong mandate to renegotiate so that's what we want to do now the question that is also arising should we have a referendum on in or out. i'm less clear there what the outcome would be i think probably of three good campaign we would actually get an out vote but i'm less confident on. it and of course if we had an in or out vote on the pa and the people voted to stay in them i suppose the issue would be off the agenda for twenty years so from my point of view that is a high risk route i would just like to see the referendum that we originally were promised let's talk about what's happening in europe at the moment recently we've seen a rise in protests against austerity masses what do you see that going forwards well

i could see a long period of quite serious process and on rest but the political and broader economic questions of really very interesting we're seeing that the the german people are becoming extremely reluctant to be the bankers of last resort for the euro zone germans who retire it is it 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 there's deep unhappiness. i think it comes down to the issue of the euro currency we euro skeptics have always said that the euro or the euro currency couldn't work because you had disparate economies with different economic cycles they can't all have the same monetary policy and therefore they can't all have the same currency and frankly for best part of ten years 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

you simply cannot have germany on the one hand which has been extremely careful with inflation and wage rates and all those things in the same moment for union places like greece and italy and spain which have been entirely profit and of allowed their unit labor cost to run out of control cease to be competitive. those countries today that he will germany want to revalue with in a currency union they can't so either some of the peripheral club med countries are going to have to peel off at the bottom or germany is going to have to get out of the top you could have a currency union probably of germany the bend the locks for all. but the moment you put in with other countries it just isn't going to work what's the solution that recently a european central bank has said that countries opting out of the year is a would be committing economic and political suicide but it wouldn't be tantamount to suicide but they face a very hard choice because staying in they're going to have the most desperate for .
