i thought to myself wow you don't see people like that often in moscow then they take a close down him he got stuck people got it open a few minutes of course and let him pass but now he knows. are in the will shortz nager roll just one stop but it was enough for him to post a wave that muscovites allegedly like their public transport had his journey lasted for more than ten minutes he might well have changed his impression but the russian authorities have pulled out all stops for the california governor providing him with police to ask corey and a permanent right of way. it was in june that schwartz made your hostage the russian president giving him a tour of silicon valley and showcasing his very masculine boots. it is not clear why they made that i wondered what it's like to be in shorts nager shoes but moments later the governing nadir is in moscow promoting russia's own

version of a high tech hub and it's great when i met president medvedev in a pretty fornia that he has a vision and a very clear direction where he wants to go and is very vicious and i think that we want to do everything that we can as free for nuance. and as americans because it is to our interest to make russia successful we are the best in the world when it comes to dis him and if it comes to biotech to. take green take you know there's no one that is lagos yet as the presentation showed even arnie makes mistakes so that our business leaders are going to find great partnerships with the so we are the russian. that. just shows no one i'm perfect. a pap project but a tax savvy russian president the scope of our park has been denying to spearhead

innovation and scientific research in russia at the meeting we did it had no difficulties asking for help. we were extremely interested in your considerable experience we're not ashamed of learning we must admit that sadly enough we learnt behind in many respects and we do expect that our corporation will bring about positive results frowns on twitter made better french words and they give praise to each other for their vision and to the delight of all he's found the govern these are promise that he'll be back in the first term in a movie innovation had gone so far that machines including schwarzenegger's own character tried to exterminate the human race ironically with his involvement in this cocker project the governator may actually make these plots a bit more plausible but at the end of the day he can always turn against the machines and save the world like in the second movie so i guess there's nothing to fear it's a boycott artsy skolkovo. from any 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 half the children up for adoption in the us are black their chances of finding a family are much less than white kids as it is going to count. 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 illinois we were much more interested in having you know getting a child's words free that was our primary focus we really weren't interested too much in 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 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 and

now an african-american baby colored 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. 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 a seventeen month old queen was adopted by two moms we had to face the challenges that although we just they were little more. up for the job they chose to raise their two adopted children in a very ass nikolay diverse neighborhood racist and they are here too but i think in another part 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 put their second child

a parliamentary stalemate in the country like the one we saw in ukraine when the country's parliament simply couldn't form a government is coalition well the security is situation was rather a con during the elections and after the elections we have seen security tightened throughout the country police has been patrol. in the streets for the past few days some experienced still believe that riots may take place later after these elections and some experts have been saying that there lections were rather sounds into southern regions are all of the country where they have seen people being drug from one polling station to another in forced to vote several times sound we're saying people were actually bribed to pay for specific political parties our film crew in the southern city of course has spoken to some of the ethnic uzbeks living there who have said that they were simply deprived of their right to vote but they refused to talk about it on camera three new ethnic clashes between the curious

key up stickles are down russia could join the wall trade organization in a few months from now but there have been many for. cast like that in the past all wrong but russia's finance minister. this one will come true let's find out why i say anything which there have been so many predictions of the kind why do you believe this one will come turn up with the. real work began in two thousand at that time i was head of a governmental commission to deal with w t o a session but having graf was the main driver the key stage was in two thousand and four when we signed an agreement with the e.u. it really seemed that when we had covered more than half the ground then in two

thousand and six we signed an agreement with the u.s. and it seemed to us that we had cover ninety percent of the way however every time something hindered entry in my view political reasons did last time it was georgia that dampened our relations with the us we could not solve even a purely technical issue with the us. now thanks to the agreement between obama and me again of and they're fixing the deadline we have achieved positive results in our bilateral relations it appears to me that should this political will remain everything is possible in fact we lacked it which was the main factor we lacked in the last period of the bush administration and now all the work has been transferred to geneva where we are facing much fewer questions so i believe there's a political will and a desire by all and it's left up to our ministries employees to complete everything does that mean most opticals are left behind and countries like georgia won't be a problem. with time because of as you have said there are certain obstacles as yet which we are going to overcome gradually when i was mentioning we would have to

have about four months to finalize the document so i do not consider an obstacle as result from georgia nothing threatens but we have to coordinate all the provisions of the customs union with all previously reached agreements on the debt b.t.o. with all the countries inside the customs union we have agreed on the principles that it as of today we are taking our agreements with our partners the working group on the deputy o. as a basis and the a session will be based on to russia's terms so mainly technical questions remain. i said i need to say the russian government announced that the shares of ten major state companies will be put on sale will be available to foreign investors. which has to do with certainly the privatization regime as public national scale except certain strategic enterprises which this list contains mainly oil companies apart from a number of others for which special procedures required at this point i can't tell

you exactly what these are strictures will apply and for what companies as soon as a list of companies is published will specify them who are sick and supremest from used so if the sale happens how will this affect russia succession into the wall trail. strictly speaking these privatization issues are not within the deputy competence so this may not affect the session as a whole though with a positive if you taken of russia is created as a country open for investment in increasing the private sector share of major companies interests in russia's growing group let's just move away from the wall trade organization on the international monetary fund meeting this year you received the award as the best finance minister of the here and everyone is saying that russia coped with the financial global financial crisis better than expected how attractive is washing terms of foreign investments at this moment.

to the heads of major financial organizations who i met with in the past three days are very keen on russia with interest rates very low in the west is possible that something only an emerging markets pressley where the ratio between profitability and reliability is optimal russia is showing exactly this thanks to the government's strict credit policy we have good four x. holdings which means we are not afraid of devaluation or defaults the country's budget balance is good so is the balance of payments in this respect we are very attractive. there are a lot of discussions here in the west about about the level of government interference in the russian economy and that sort of one of the concerns that the west has to what's question economy what is being done to reduce that that involvement of the government in the economy. first of all the interference of the state in the economy is a fact and we must see where and how it takes place the first major tears state

involvement through stakes in major companies and corporations as privatization is underway selling major stakes will solve this issue which will soften fears second it's about state run regulating agencies including those that collect taxes issue licenses check the quality of production and norms the quality of state regulation needs to be improved and we missed this and all of us are working on that the new draft law on the police is meant to improve their work concerning taxes we have created a new package of laws on the quality of tax administration the responsibility of tax inspector employees probably. the main problem of russian economy today in your opinion at the institute. it's about the weakness of market and state power institutions and the quality of administering of state functions in other words excessive interference from the state insufficiently clear regulation within the tories administrative barriers lower competition the economy it's going official helps when the competition this is the main obstacle for further development

because the knackery connery in the state finances are good. reasons now i know that finance later on this international monetary fund meeting we're discussing the so-called battle is a concept. that you know we know that the u.s. and. they complain about china and some other countries deliberately undervalued their currencies to aid their exporters and this may lead to trade war. i haven't heard that how serious is that and where is washer standing on that matter and it wouldn't be a word of god he wouldn't currently there's no battle of currencies it's very likely that it's more of an expectation that one day currencies will become a more serious tool in competition at the moment the best examples are the u.s. and china the situation there is unique but i don't think we can say that such a war is taking place in other parts of the world on the other hand you might say that some of the dispersion of distortions are forming in currencies for example

some moves of the american side may influence currencies most likely there are fears that someday such a war will become more serious but i can say that the possibilities to play around with currencies are very insignificant or short term although china is the exception country that goes beyond any rules it's conducting an aggressive policy due to strong government control its economy and foreign policies market economies don't have such opportunities for stronger ministers of course you know. forty two thousand americans die each year. two thousand. seven hundred thousand people. and thirty two thousand will kill themselves cancer in all its forms kills five hundred sixty thousand of us here part is easy or devastating they kills over

eight hundred seventy thousand americans every year. if. in the czech republic. central. will stop. the children of each.
