it's been terminated time in moscow with all shorts and egger in town to wreak havoc there but on a mission of innovation and it was a case of the famous phrase i'll be back as california's governor was returning the visit of president that bad if you want silicon valley know how to transform russia into high tech powerhouse but they had a low tech start russian leader taking the government to ride in a vintage russian car the destination though was the site and mocked as the center of the country's technology drive skulk about during their time then they get of suggested that if swatch lego was a russian citizen he might be interested in taking over if they can post moscow there. in a joke but the star of the terminator really busy. it's no stranger to the city

it's how to get around. it was morning rush hour in the most the subway with passengers album 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 and the security service came out followed by arnold schwarzenegger i thought to myself well people like that often moscow and the ticket barrier closed on him he got stuck. in a few minutes of course. but now he knows. arnold schwarzenegger rolled just one stop but it was enough for him to post a wave that muscovites allegedly like the public transport had his journey lasted for more than ten minutes he might well have changed his impression but the russian authorities have also solves for the coliform new governor providing him with

police ask and a permanent right of way. it was in june that schwartz made their hostage the russian president giving him a tour of silicon valley and showcasing his very masculine boots. it is not clear whether medvedev wondered what it's like to be in schwarzenegger's shoes but one month later big government aid or even most go promoting russia's own version of a high tech hub. we know this because. you're . very very very. very. very big to be here. in this very enthusiastic. yes as the presentation showed even arnie makes mistakes hope that our business leaders are going to find great partnerships with the so we are russian.

shows no one i'm perfect. a pap project with a tax savvy russian president this cocoa apart has been designed just here had innovation and scientific research in russia i mean to me that it had no difficulties asking for help. we are extremely interested in your considerable experience we are not ashamed of learning we must admit that sadly enough behind in many respects we do expect that our corporation 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 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 tried to exterminate the human race ironically with his involvement in this project the governor may actually make

these plot 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. r.t. . i mean to america now protests mark columbus day night and states is supposed to celebrate discovery and sparking centuries of prosperity for the settlers the native americans whose ancestors were there before say they're still paying the price for crimes against their people battiste. officer explains for most americans on this day there is no work or school the second monday of every october is christopher columbus day i wish you a very happy and national holiday marked with celebrations parades and shopping bargain all of it to honor the conquest of the americas by christopher columbus and his western development of the new world in the u.s. someone missed means america for weight school this committed a heinous crimes against the indigenous peoples of the caribbean the millions of

natives throughout the americas and columbus set the stage for the slave trade in the new world from sun one comes down to coffee fornia. people like the border courtesy of. boise state university in idaho nucleation extra batteries are. racing to arizona. oh. yeah. and rhode island that brown university earlier see here brown voted to boycott the columbus day holiday after seven hundred students signed a petition blasting christopher columbus the straight man of data for americans it's a day of meeting rights in washington state's colorado and throughout the countless indian reservations in this country. is really just a day off from work or an a in our federal holiday coming to washington and seeing

that it makes a big difference in kind of brings it home the district of columbia is actually named after christopher columbus here in the nation's capital he's honored every year in the celebration behind me and for anyone traveling to d.c. by train they'll make their way here to union station where one of the first thing they'll probably see is a lovely fountain behind me as dedicated to christopher columbus and the three flagpoles behind it symbolize the three ships that brought explorer and his group to the new world indigenous people in latin america have been resisting general pete. here the save in the sky over to america but they did was conquered america but there is another opinion on display outside the white house it's an illustration drawing present day similarities to the suffering of natives under columbus we are here to call attention to the continued military zation of latin america that what started over five hundred years ago with columbus the exploitation of latin america through military means continues today just showed slight americans that are other people that we don't all celebrate columbus. we

don't think that he he he he did people of good things he brought a lot of suffering to to the indigenous here despite the historic mistreatment of native americans the u.s. government has never issued a formal apology to their indigenous population as other nations have although there are petitions circulating throughout the u.s. for the government to renounce columbus day the idea is not welcomed by most americans in my opinion we have to sort of brady's mad at us if we do nothing like you know america or if things that we know that would have happened for it right now so it's to me it's correct to celebrate in that he wasn't looking also to conquer the world as anything else but now i think they should continue to honor the station and be protesting it part of our history a day commemorating two narratives of history with two different ideas of how columbus achieved the western development of the america is a history that is marked every year by honor and betrayal. r.t. washington d.c.
