of moscow with the post currently vacant in the capital but away from the serious business the terminator took time out to see some of the city for himself. it was morning rush hour in the moscow subway with passengers al boarding their way through the crowd there is little that can make them pause at this time but here he was the terminator. i saw lots of people on camera flashes then the security service came out followed by arnold schwarzenegger i thought to myself well you don't see people like that often in moscow then they take advantage of closed on him he got stuck people got it open a few minutes of course and let him pass but now he knows. arnold schwarzenegger rolled just one stop but it was enough for him to post a tweet 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 ask courts 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 make issues but one month later the governing nater even moscow promoting russia's own version of a high tech hub. you know it's. very very. very. very. very. yet as the presentation showed it would arnie makes mistakes. that our business leaders

are going to find great partnerships with the so we're russian. that. just shows that you and i are imperfect was a pap project but a tax savvy russian president the scope of our park has been designed to spearhead innovation and scientific research in russia i mean we did it had no difficulties asking for help and mike lang is indeed we are 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 cooperation will bring about positive results that's friends on twitter. better french words may give praise to each other for their vision and to the delight of all he's found the governator promised that he'll be back in the first terminator movie innovation had gone so far that machines including schwarzenegger's own character try to exterminate the human race ironically with his involvement in this project the

governor 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 is nothing to fear it's a boycott r.t. skolkovo. well during his trip to moscow the california governor compared russia to a gold mine whose assessment is echoed by russia's finance minister alexey could stay tuned if you will for our interview in twenty minutes time where he explains what's changed in russia and why it's now attractive foreign investment. to with interest rates very low in the west it's 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. all things which means we are not afraid of devaluation or default the country's budget balance is good so is the balance of payments in this respect we are very attractive.

more news tonight all the votes from. parliamentary elections have now been counted the country's electoral commission says no single parties are merged a clear winner and confirm the five parties across the five percent threshold needed to get seats in parliament nataly novel covers monitoring the results of the capital bishkek. rather mixed feelings about the selections in the concert the opposition leaders along with the head of russian parliamentary delegation of observers seem to believe that the election was unfair one of the opposition leaders school it has said that the tricks at least three cases have been filed on the count of violations that have taken place during the elections meanwhile the country's authorities are quite happy with the way it's went there over eight hundred international observers in kyrgyzstan at the moon moments monitoring their elections and they believe that elections were valid despite minor violations that

have taken place i have a number of elections in central asia over the past year. i must say this is the first election center later i have been there i could not predict the outcome what made washing observers concerned with this election was then usual splash of activity among voters that took place during the past hour were all for the elections now still for almost all of the votes have been counted and indeed five political parties have cleared the necessary five percent varia to get seats in the parliament in those seats will be distributed between them proportionally among those forces first of all is the party that is unofficially associated here with former president but he also the party of social democrats and party of one of the opposition leaders who've put their own natural leaders in this vote because most of the those parties have very similar political agendas i received very

similar percentages all of the vote so we might still see a parliamentary stalemate in the country like the one we saw in ukraine when the country's parliament simply couldn't form a government's coalition well the security is situation was rather conjuring the elections and after the elections we have seen security tightened throughout the country police has been patrol. in the streets for the past two days some experienced still believe that riots may take place later after these elections and some experts have been saying that there were actions were rather tense in the southern regions are all of the country where they have seen people being drugs from one polling station to another in forced to vote several times sound we're seeing people who are 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 people and them that the they live side by side with. correspondent italian overcover reporting for us still ahead in the program this morning how some indian women are pushed to the margins. life is not easy on the fringes of hindu society yet there are organizations working to work on centuries of prejudice to give readers a chance to live with dignity find out of the struggle some hindu women face to their husbands. also coming up a hero from one government enemy to we look at why a nuclear scientist who spent eighteen years behind bars is still being chased by the israeli authorities. for many american would be parents willing to adopt a child color matters the law insisted 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.

a black their chances of finding a family are much less than white kids was going to come for tea. 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 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 in what the child looked like of the 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 a 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 the report here says parents were willing to pay thirty thousand dollars more for a non african-american baby doll of 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 month old queen was adopted by two moms we've had to face the challenges that. we just 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 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 put their second child also african american by and large our family is largely irish english german descent and french

can obstacles are down russia could join the wall trade organization in a few months from now but there have been many forecasts like that in the past all wrong but russia's finance minister believes this one will come true let's find out why i say any of us there have been so many predictions of the kind why do you believe this one will come for. 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 graph 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 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 covered ninety percent of the way however every time something hindered in tree in my view political reasons did last time it was georgia that dampened our relations with the u.s. 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 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 this mean most opticals are left behind and countries like georgia won't be a problem. with time of course 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 of 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 oh has 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 go shares be available to foreign investors. which is true it was 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 so it was a can you supremest from used so if the sale happens how will a fact 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 when 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. 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 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 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 we make 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 the ministry 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 win a 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 battles of the current can say that you know we know that the us and. they complain

about china and some other countries deliberately undervalued their crisis to aid their exporters and this may lead to trade wars. i haven't heard that how serious is that and where is russia standing on that matter and who wouldn't remember group who are 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 he 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 don't you. wish it was that so much i would like to give it real. don't we did so in a relatively short amount of time latin america is transplant itself both political and economic but can the. every month we give you the future we help you understand how we'll get there and what tomorrow brings the best in science and technology from across russia and around the world join knology update on r g. seventy years of the red machine which so
