typically 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 a look at technology based businesses innovation and modernization and to help usher in long without partnership that they discussed back in june of this year as well now in the speech that the governor spoke it 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 they have now just left the facilities and they're on their way to take a tour of the kremlin as well 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 posted 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 of 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 himself listen to what he had to say about how the russians have inspired him through the years it was a kid when i was fifteen years old i was in vienna in one thousand sixty one watching the world with lifting championships and the russians just destroyed everybody. i mean they just said the most extraordinary lived in there was a guy by the name of your roof last off who was the heavyweight champion and he was j. gandy gk he looked good he was he looked like an intellectual so you had glasses on and. then found out later on that he was an engineer and he was a very well educated man but tremendous strength and determination and indeed

durance and he was this monster guy and this is the most of that's what i want to do when i grow up of course that's arnold schwarzenegger in his element talking about how russians have inspired him to become the person he is 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 your this is a democratic process you're talking about america's democratic process and the two party system of course are of course nader 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 ledger. in the assembly and in the senate we have

a democratic controller a democrat to. be had up until recently a democratic governor a democratic. state and everyone around me is a democrat even that night going to go to bed and go to sleep i. thank you. i go to sleep with the devil. 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 into khazan and also meeting with the president of a tartar 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 rusinow know son thomas reporting there well you can get more

on the california governor's visit to russia silicon valley with our business team in about fifteen minutes time. now for many american would be parents willing to adopt a tiled color matters the long sis that states must ensure children of all races have the right to be given a home but even though half the children up for adoption in the u.s. are black their chances of finding a family are much less than white kids can now reports. people like to emulate their show because i don't be 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 it in line we were much more interested in having you know getting a child we're just very that was our primary focus we really weren't interested too much of what the child looked like a. 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 caucasian 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 a non african-american baby come of course 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 is still signs of prejudice in the american adoption field there is no prejudice in this home seventeen months old queen was adopted by two moms we've had to face the challenges that straight people go with this they were a little more. up for the job they chose to raise their two adopted children in a very ask equally diverse neighborhood of racists and you know here too but i think in other parts of the country it's worse so here people don't even bat an eye

. or a black boy you know 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 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 washington d.c. here with r.t. 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 walking to work on centuries of prejudice to give reduce the chance to live with dignity find out about the struggle from hindu women face after their husband's death. but first

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 to you strong for second largest city and it's also one of the most unstable reason because you know it's a disappointment as the voting was held in a calm fashion the not a lot of people were on the streets on sunday and view night was relatively calm as well although i did speak to some of the representatives of the it was very good we should since this is happening while it was basically caused by the fact that the city is divided into the it was various and the committees population and you have these ethnic clashes between each other and if you will who was vexed told me that allegedly many of them were to vote reported to the polling stations and couldn't find the i mean. on the electoral lists so the very issue still has to be cleared because we did walk by your years and by it was making nationals and in july there

were massive ethnic clashes between the two on gangs walked around the city destroying business is and destroying homes and the violence lasted for several days until the interim government was finally able to take control of the situation mobilizing the army but unfortunately by a bad time hundreds of people were killed and that's according to the most moderate figures and thousands of others were injured and thousands more have to leave 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 and the locals reaction on the outcome of the vote. well doctor on the. political expert from the carnegie center in moscow says coalition talks will now need to be needed rather to form a government there to stem. first the fall we have to wait for emergencies
