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 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 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 date 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. where 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 on the translator as a symbol of freedom also if you know that the as 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 i 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 jay gandy gk he looked good he was he looked like an intellectual so he had glasses on and. they never found out later on that he was an engineer and

he was a very well educated man but big tremendous strength and determination and and in durance and there was this monster guy and this is the most of that's what i want to do when they 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 democratic process talking about america's democratic process and the two party system of course our choice nader is a republican and had some humorous things to say about being surrounded by democrats i'm a republican that these surrounded by democrats who have a debt. and you have a democratic think about this you have

a democratic legislature in the assembly and in the senate we have a democratic controller a democratic treasurer you had up until recently a democratic but then a governor a democratic. state and everyone around me is a democrat even a night going to go to bed and go to sleep. 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 total 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 know artesian thomas reporting there and you can get more on the california governor's visit to russia silicon valley with our business team in about fifteen minutes. now from any american would be parents willing to adopt a child color matters the law and says 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 showbiz idols 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 him like we were much more interested in having you know getting a child we were just very that was our primary focus we really weren't interested too much in what the child looked like a. little you know why is one of their. a 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 of 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. 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. 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 they're still signs of prejudice in the american adoption field there is no prejudice in this home a seventeen month old quinn was adopted by two moms and we've had to face the challenges that straight people though just. for the job they chose to raise their two adopted children in a very. asked the 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. whatever obviously. parents they came to the adoption agency it was their second child so african american by and large our family is largely irish english german and french canadian you know so it's not usually a lot of white people and we need i would prefer a little more color in our family. going to shut down our washington d.c. still ahead for you on our t.v. how some indian women are pushed to the margins. life is not easy on the fringes of hindu society yet they're all going to visions working to. produce to give readers a chance to live with dignity find out about the struggles some men do women face

they say that they have seen people here voters 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 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 crane 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 is the county. where we are now is there you strong full circle or just city and it's also one of the most unstable wheezes in because you wanted to disappoint the voting was held in a calm fashion 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 vocal we should since this ethnic violence was basically caused by the fact that this city is divided into v. was very and he could use population and they have 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 their name. on the elevator on the list so the

very issue still has to be cleared because we did walk by your views and by it was back nationals there were massive ethnic clashes between the armed gangs walked around the city destroying businesses and destroying all 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 more 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 the local reaction on the outcome of the vote well andrew mcentee of 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's a curious 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 were marginalized completely those who are supported by key 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 years time. that's coming up to sixteen minutes past the hour of this take a look at some world news for you this monday police in hungary are questioning the chief executive of the factory from where tons of toxic sludge stude into waterways
