joins us live hi there song it seems like swartz of megger is keeping a promise he made when to meet the needs of a to visit of california. that is true back in june of this year dmitri medvedev went to silicon valley in california to visit places like twitter and. silicon valley to basically look at how they do business down there and that time the governor said to the president i promise i will be bach to moscow that is and he has kept up on my promise in fact it has been a very busy day specifically today the two men started off at gorky which is the president's residence just on the outskirts of moscow they exchanged niceties and then the president had a special treat taking of the governor in a cheika soviet made vehicle to hear skolkovo where the both of them had the opportunity to speak as well as see the facilities here this is all part of the governor's experience and his trip to look at technology based businesses in addition and modernization and to help russia along without partnership that they

discussed back in june of this year as well now in the speech that the governor spoke to the people here as part of the delegation he said that california is the leader of technologies and the technology business and they do have secrets but they don't want to keep them secret they want to share them and help russia in their process here to try and help skolkovo get off the ground so it's been a very important day but they have now just left the facilities and they're on their way to take a tour of the kremlin as well i understand the day began with a tweet taken from the first couple of hours of the governor's visit to moscow here . well certainly a nice in fact when the governor first arrived in russia the first thing he did was he sent a twitter to the president and it basically said i've landed in russia i can't wait to see the russian president dmitri medvedev to which i'm a bit of replied back in typical blogging blogging it techno fashion sending

a tweet of his own saying welcome to russia can't wait to see you at skolkovo after that arnold schwarzenegger sent pictures on post. them on twitter as well of him arriving of him smoking a cigar driving from the airport as well as some that have become very well known here in russia and have gotten a lot of response of arnold schwarzenegger on the metro system now the people of russia have really come to adopt on all sorts nager as one of their own and they've grown to love him through his movies like terminator and also one based here in russia called red heat where a little bit of trivia for you it was not allowed for them to film on red square so the crew had to sneak their shots and actually do it illegally to get those shots on red square back in one nine hundred eighty seven eighty eight when the movie was being filmed but there is a strong connection between the people of russia they see arnold schwarzenegger as a symbol of freedom also if you know that he is he himself is a power lifter and his his inspiration is

a russian selfless and what he had to say about how russians have inspired him through the years there was a kid that was fifteen years old i was in vienna in one thousand sixty one watching the world we'd lived in championships and the russians just destroyed everybody. i mean they just had the most extraordinary lift and it was a guy by the name of your roof last off who was the heavyweight champion and he was jay gandy gk he looked good he was he looked like an intellectual so he had glasses on to have. been found out later on that he was an engineer and he was a very well educated man but did tremendous strength and determination and and endure and sinews this monster guy and this is the most of that's what i want to do when i grow up. now of course that's arnold schwarzenegger in his element talking

about how russians have inspired him to become the person he has he has also established a good strong relationship with president dmitri medvedev and in that he promised that he would come and help out russia he has talked about russia being a leader in innovation in modernization as well as in sports and culture and also talked about russia being a young democracy and how he wants to support russia in you this democratic process talking about america's democratic process and the two party system of course our force nigger is a republican and had some humorous things to say about being surrounded by democrats. i'm a republican the surrounded by democrats who have a democratic. idea of a democratic think about this we have a democratic legislature in the assembly and in the senate we have a democratic controller a democratic treasurer had up until recently a democratic governor

a democrat to. say good of state and everyone around me is a democrat even a nightmare to go to bed and go to sleep. thank you i go to sleep. and of course that last comment referring to his wife maria shriver who is not only a democrat but is also a member of the kennedy family one of the most famous democrat families in the united states now from here when he leaves moscow the governor will be going there to khazan and also meeting with the president of it try to stand there so that he can look at investment opportunities he will also while he's in russia russia be visiting with different ministers as well as visiting the company of rusinow no all right well it sounds like the governor has a busy trip here to russia for now sean thomas as he would say of the levees that maybe. now you can get more on the california governor's visit to russia

silicon valley with our business team in about fifteen minutes. but first for many american would be parents willing to adopt a child color matters the law insists that states must ensure children of all races have the right to be given a home but even though how the children up for adoption in the u.s. are block their chances of finding a family are much less than white kids can reports. people like to emulate their shal be reside but they don't seem to be following the stars when it comes to adopting children many still see things in black and white color was not an issue with this family when they adopted illinois we were much more interested in having you know getting a child for his free that was our primary focus we really weren't interested too much of what the child looked like of little you know why is one of very few black children in america adopted by a white family a study carried out by a group of economists suggest that african-american babies are five times less

likely to be adopted then children have any other race some say one reason for this is misrepresentation of the black community in the media when you see things on television and you often see our children portrayed in a very negative way well that has a connotation for individuals that may be interested in adopting and while we have come a long ways in this country racism is still prevalent sanders says families need to be prepared before they decide to adopt a child of color and once a child goes into african american child goes into a family that is caucasian that family is no longer caucasian that family becomes a family of color at that point ok so the whole family dynamic changes it seems not a whole lot of adoptive parents in the u.s. are willing to change their family dynamics most want their adopted children to look more like them and the majority of parents willing to adopt in the united states are cock asian but almost half of the children available for adoption are

black a report here says parents were willing to pay thirty thousand dollars more for and now an african-american baby call it wasn't even if you look around your table and your guests are all of the same color then you shouldn't be adopting a child of a different color but race doesn't seem to be an issue for thousands of americans who go to china or india to adopt. but when it comes to domestic adoption color makes a difference while there are still signs of prejudice in the american adoption field there is no prejudice in this home seventeen months old quinn was adopted by two moms and we had to face the challenges that straight people though we just maybe were a little more. up for the job they chose to raise their two adopted children in a very ask nikolay diverse neighborhood of racists and they are here too but i think in other parts of the country it's worse so here people don't even bat an eye

. or. whatever obviously. parents they came to the adoption agency pulled their second child also african american by and large our family is largely of irish english german descent and french canadian you know so smart usually a lot of white people and we need i would prefer a little more color and in our family. going to shut down our t. washington d.c. . live from moscow still ahead for you some indian women are pushed to the margins of society. life is not easy on the fringes of hindu society yet they're all going to visions working to all become centuries of prejudice to give readers a chance to live with dignity find out about the struggles and do women face after their husband's death. not the ballots are in and for care distance

landmark parliamentary poll which international observers have praised as being free and fair so far no single party has emerged a clear winner with the central lexan commission saying five parties appear to have crossed the necessary five percent threshold earlier my colleague kerry johnston spoke to our tuesday corpus going off in the southern city of arts and the target of aqaba was in the capital bishkek. some members of the opposition claim that they believe this election was unfair they say that they have seen people here voters here being dragged around town from one polling station to another and being forced to vote several times one of the opposition leaders school has also said that at least three cases have been filed on the matter of violations that have taken place during the elections and russian parliamentary delegation of observers has also said that the legitimacy of this election is something that still needs some deeper digging to do before claiming that the election was fair the so for non of the

record number of twenty nine political parties registered for this election appeared to be natural leaders and that is because most of those parties have rather similar political agendas only five or six of them can make it to the parliament but if the votes are equally divided between the parties that might perhaps weakness a similar parliamentary stalemate here in kyrgyzstan as we have seen any great when the country's parliament couldn't form a government coalition. ok well let's turn to the southern city of osh now which witnessed horrific ethnic violence in the summer is there for us now what's the situation there as the votes are counted you know. where we are now is there you strong for a second largest city and it's also one of the most unstable raises in because you know it's a display of voting was held in a calm fashion the not a lot of people were on the streets on sunday and being i was relatively calm as well although i did speak to some of the representatives of the it was very good we

should since this ethnic violence was basically caused by the fact that this city is divided into the it was very and he could use population and he had these ethnic clashes between each other and you told me that allegedly many of them were to vote came to the polling stations and couldn't find the i mean. on the electoral list so the very issue still has to be cleared out because also his flock would walk by yours and by it was back in nationals and in july there were massive and clashes between the two armed gangs walked around the city destroying businesses and destroying homes and the violence lasted for several days until the interim government was finally able to take control of the situation more than raising the army but unfortunately by a bad time hundreds of people were killed and that's according to the most modest figures and thousands of others were injured and thousands more have to flee their homes and at the moment most of the quarters of the city still remain in ruins and

are just only beginning to recover now and that's why the situation is still quite unstable and anything is farcical concerning the local reaction on the outcome of the vote. well andrew mcentee a former european security observer in kyrgyzstan says it's now a question of whether they'll be a fair transition of power some hope and a political culture it's felt that while the power is being taken away from the presidency towards the parliament to get into the parliament nevertheless the prize is the presidency so that security situation the question is will there be a real cultural shift politically and in the way that government is run will it be open government will it be good governance in the sense of transparency so that any potential corruption is. or will it be the usual that for example a majority government will be the new regime which has just taken over the

transition government and they will marginalize completely those who are supported by if there was an aside. and but can leaving some instability there these are questions which really have to be to be answered maybe in a week or two as time. in other news a plane carrying the wife of the polish president has had to make an emergency landing soon after taking off from the western russian city of smiley ounce the aircraft carrying. ported engine trouble and touched down around one hundred kilometers away she was returning from events in the city commemorating the april plane crash there that killed ninety six people including president kaczynski his wife and many top polish officials. ostracized by society thousands of india's widows are even cast aside by their own families it's a situation blamed on attitudes based on centuries of male dominated culture card and seeing reports on the extreme point of hindu widows. on the streets or

in northern india but no one stopping the dead woman was a. bad luck even in death in traditional hindu wisdom when a woman's husband dies she is considered to be a liability for the family remarriage is legally possible but from. its superior. and man wanted. to free me given said to me that everything is to his advantage which has been coming to that he could remarry you could be what he wants and he did pray woman prime those things boggart bolland see that she has nothing left to live for as a widow she was deserted by her extended family so she traveled to the holy city of rome and spends her time reading the hindu scriptures. i have to conclude my life. that's fine if not don't so she's fine.
