a drugs raid gets underway and after hours of waiting for contact to give the signal suddenly everybody is up and running the police are involved but not all taking part in law enforcement officers the raid has been organized by a vigilante style great name ansel's city without narcotics this is a drug called as a morphine or locally known as crocodile it's a codeine containing a drug and really dangerous the beginning of the race and coming through the window was pretty exciting but the minute that you get inside the reality of the situation really hits very hard you got a young family he got folks lying around the house next door a young child and a mother who looks barely more than a child herself based extremely scared and upset and it really makes him very apparent just how sensitive this issue is. should people be able to do this

walking into homes and taking the law into their own hands. it's an action which is cruel is it wrong to rescue a drowning person by pulling their hair if people say it's cruel inhumane let them teach us how to do it otherwise we work twenty four seven to help these people when the state isn't doing anything we're aware of to do it be initiative on. the authorities didn't quite see it that way the twenty three year old man yegor bychkov and several other members of the group using the same methods in the city of nish need to go were arrested and which was met with strong public criticism. this chap eagle carried out over two hundred operations against drug dealers as a result the mortality rate is half the good the gypsies are afraid to sell drugs and consequently don't bribe the authorities clearly the authorities there didn't like. the court handed down a three and a half year prison sentence for kidnapping the verdict is part of a public outcry of people claiming it's simply

a victory for the drug dealers i sincerely believe that the trial and the verdict against year gorbachev are the most dangerous and frightening events in russia it's not only our mom who's been convicted it's a mom who is really trying to change something in this life to make life better. despite the public reaction the relationship between the authorities and the grape is a fragile one. first of p.t. minister of internal affairs i want to give your biggest problem is the function of the state and i said i don't need to take it back and do what's necessary with the foundation has continued its fight in the face of the lack of action. the people have to take the problem personally to understand these before their brothers and sisters and that unless they do it nobody will do it for that. when we visited the rehabilitation center that is run by the us there is no evidence of the

controversial techniques such as handcuffing addicts to bed which the group is going to keep by human rights groups and the authority if the dues are low and the conditions are crammed to the group claims a seventy percent success rate it's tough treatment of his ranking. my mother saw six years of drug addiction had done to me and turned to the foundation for help it's hard but you can see how the people are here they talk to each other there's an atmosphere of friendship which helps you through the. rushes in the grip of the major drugs crisis with an unofficial estimate of two and a half million drug addicts in the country almost two percent of the population and until probably measures are in place to deal not only with the deal is but in rehabilitating eases as well people like genya and the foundation say that it's to them to stand and fight to free the city of drugs so. you catch him

back. i spoke to sarah first to find out more about the center that she visited. no a luxury place we the main area where they treated you had essentially over fifty people and one really was quite crime conditions and they kept there for around a month initially. just fed bread and water and very basic feeds was there essentially going cold turkey going to states he said we speak to people who face going three the treatment at the time and come three and manage to get they have now moved on with their lives they said it's incredibly hard i mean fighting a drug addiction is never going to be easy but actually this huge support network that they have here and the fact that they're all in it together really is very very helpful you've got people in the same as situation t. and that's really a very positive thing for them you mention the drugs raise them and all the addicts actually forced to go then to these three places they are yes it is

a volunteer last time because the people like the rate that we went on the people that we saw. when they're in the grips of drug addiction are of the not particularly capable of making logical decisions themselves safe the rate that we went on they trained the person's parents and asked the parents they've given the option whether the person was arrested or whether they're taken into this rehabilitation center and how they have. already correspondent sara for their what a few minutes former russian police colonel took part to use operations against drug dealers gives us his reaction and insight into serious conflicts problems. well public anger has led the russian president to urge prosecutors to pay more attention to communities who are getting tough on ridding the towns of drugs retreatment that of was meeting rock musicians and told them in the least to take a wider view of people trying to do the right thing. it is impossible that the guy

will be in prison has done nothing wrong. you said this i heard you. i'm asking to pay more attention to what is going on there. i'm honestly without interfering with the trial in order to avoid a conflict with the law. anyway if the situation is like you're saying it needs attention. and still to come in the program the benefits of being out of work in britain. am i doing anything. i'm just. getting and. lying well easy option one in eight homes told it's handouts to wage. russia is ready to get relations with britain back on track. rob's optimism comes as his british counterpart visits moscow but william hague isn't. especially with the matter of a former k.g.b.

officer in london still hanging in the air. following mr hague's visit for aught. i know russian relations since then those from generation to how likely is it that russia and britain will be brought closer together now. will carry that as a question that many of course are asking specifically with the visit of british foreign secretary william hague to moscow right now he's already met with his russian counterpart so he's also scheduled to meet the russian president which many have taken to be a sign of a positive direction in the relationship between moscow and london of course the british foreign secretary. is expected to make some sort of remarks at a press conference is due to start it's really the russian and british foreign ministers both detailing the detail designing the specifics of their discussions and possibly outlining the need for their. a strategy and vector for the

development of relations between moscow and london of course both sides have already managed to reiterate that they do want a better relationship they do aim for a better relationship the russian foreign minister said however was keen to underline the fact that it is not then from russia's lack of will that there will lation ship has been somewhat flossy moscow does want a reset similar to ties with the united states in relations with britain but it is the british side according to the russian foreign minister and many other sources that is somewhat hesitant to bring the relationship to a new more open and more trusting level. because you remind us so one thing to take a turn for the worse in the first place. well there are many things of course hanging in the air. over relations between moscow and london one of them perhaps the most prominent one is the murder of former k.g.b. officer alex on that it's been young girl that took place in the london he was of

course our boys and a by a radioactive material polonium two hundred ten that murder is still unsolved and despite frequent british request to extradite a man they believed to be guilty of that murder and the little boy who is a russian state duma deputy here in moscow moscow has refused to extradite the man believing that there isn't enough evidence they haven't seen enough evidence for him to be extradited and this is of course a tit for tat situation with moscow or london or perhaps even noted for no tat because russia is refusing to extradite i'm a little boy britain on its side has refused to extradite many russia believes to be guilty. of breaking the law specifically people like. a person who russia believes to be behind many terrorist activities here in russia specifically for disturbing the peace in the already volatile caucasus. he is has

political asylum in the united kingdom with britain refusing to extradite the man believing him to be a political refugee so there are many aspects that are potentially troubling to the relationship and of course now everybody is eagerly watching to see whether this visit will be any closer to resolving some of the some of the issues the pictures are of in moscow where britain's foreign secretary started to show his thank you for. the first civilian trial over gone two hundred detainees he has begun in the united states the decision to try the terror suspect in manhattan jus a fierce media backlash for new yorkers concerned about security in the heightened emotions that can cause. to see a chicken or explains things in a remarkably quiet. but the main problem isn't security name problem on the head no no how many intelligence secrets will research render during this process they were terrorists or on us soil that's not the point we get to spew all kinds of anti

american propaganda because that's what's going to happen well i'm an oracle a shockingly relaxed atmosphere outside the federal courthouse in lower manhattan especially when a case of such significance is going on this place the scene some of the most publicized scandals of the last two years this is where bernie made off with centers for over a century this is where the curious case of the russian special agents unraveled this entire street was packed with t.v. satellite trucks and dozens and dozens of crews ready to bring their viewers all of the latest and now one for the first time at one time of detainees being tried in a criminal court of justice in the u.s. one of the media hype is here as the decision whether or not to try terror suspects on u.s. soil was being made the u.s. mainstream media was out of control with outrage they were saying this is unacceptable and that terror suspects should be tried in military tribunals now on the first day of the trial there's only

a couple of lonely journalists here with not much enthusiasm to find out what's really going on inside the courtroom. one of the biggest concerns of the mainstream media profits was that thousands of policemen would be needed to provide security in the area and that billions and billions of dollars would be wasted on policemen serving around the globe to be able to make sure that nothing goes wrong but clearly and obviously that is far from reality another big arguments against terror suspects including guy lonnie being tried here was that there would be a lot of traffic which clearly is not the case and that's the neighborhood the locals living here would be worried concerned and bother are they let's find out you know that a terror suspect is being tried in the courthouse right now or know. for sure. does it bother you that this is happening on u.s. soil. no does it bother you do you know that a terror suspect is being tried in this courthouse right here. right now do you

know that a terrorist suspect is being tried in the sport announcer here you know does it bother you does it concern you that this is going on right here. on influenced by the attempts to fight them up with fear mongering the locals are not facing any of the issues predicted by the media going about business as usual. are to new york. always more online fewer totty dot com i hesitate to columbus the congress why native americans say there's nothing to celebrate about explorers discovery. and putting their session to bed moscow hotel bookings returned to pre-crisis levels to see the economic downturn and checking out.

nearly one in a to british households has no one in work according to a study that ranks the u.k. is the worst among the biggest countries part of the blame is being put on the welfare system that means the un employed can be better off on benefits. reports even though the government wants to force people off welfare into work the jobs just aren't that. once the seat of an empire now the holder of an unwanted unemployment accolade new figures reveal the u.k. has the highest number of households in any of the largest economies in which no one works is amounts to over eleven percent of homes long term unemployment is growing as a proportion of total unemployment. is perhaps hidden from the official unemployment statistics and that is the proportion of workers households in britain so one sixth

of all children for example for example. which is the highest figure in europe are some measure thirty nine year old sandra hay has never had a job she had her first child at sixteen and went on to have three more none of the fathers is around saundra gets the equivalent of more than twenty thousand dollars a year in benefits but she says it's barely enough to stay afloat. just. because you can't go anywhere that do anything with the kids growing up and most painful. far. saundra also gets incapacity benefit because of a problem with her legs she admits that many people less able than her do go out to work but the country's generous benefits system means it's often more lucrative to stay at home than to get a job critics of that system also say the dependency culture is passed from one

generation to the next saundra is a grandmother at thirty nine with the state paying for her granddaughter's nursery care while her daughter goes to college she talks at the moment she found out her daughter was pregnant at seventeen. because you just. keep asking me what we're going to do you want to. rethink it's a cycle that the cash strapped coalition government is trying hard to break as it tries to save money but that's a tricky balancing act between protecting the vulnerable and not allowing people to take advantage of the system change it with a mixture of count and stick the conditionalities that if you don't accept a reasonable job offer it's got to be the case that you can't go claiming benefits and have every other time picking up with the government taking steps to address the problem of the long term unemployed by restricting the amount of benefits that

any one family can claim and making more rigorous tax checks on people who want incapacity allowance but many of the people. have never worked and the big question is in a crisis hits economic climate it's all there any jobs for them to go. you are at it. let's get more reaction to our top story now the vigilante anti drug screen convicted for using extreme rehab methods including kidnapping and torturing addicts and urals retired police colonel and former officer interposed and secretary. joins us now here in the studio thank you for coming here for us today how do you assess the actions of these vigilante groups. to me. but to me it sounds like. and the public there are angry aren't they i mean they say that they they got results when you make

a well we have to differ here the results and the methods of achieving the results . in the country. quite a number of examples and the blue examples of treating drug addicts let's take for example dr nissen ali as i leave. it started his clinic in eighty nine soviet time period and he achieved really good results and his messages were sort of. discussable or sort of not always that accepted by by a beleaguered or governmental health specialists but after so many years he is accepted all over the world now and as i said i mean he's nuff is were also. sometimes not well accepted but still what i've heard about this case and nearly. as i said it sounds to me quite astonishing now police have reportedly

been using vigilante groups intelligence to root out what you make of that well that's quite normal to me. in my career drug enforcement officer different levels in the city police and in the general. department of drug control in the ministry of internal affairs in the past we were also working closely with public organisations involved in treatment of drug addicts and we were using the information because as far as the daily contact with drug addicts of course they obtained a lot of useful information useful for the police. but to my listing it's strictly forbidden for public organizations to sort of react according to the information indiaman where does the law stand on this do you think it's legal for this kind of absolutely illegal absolutely we go as far as even the man the forstmann agencies in the country federal and regional level most of all of them are allowed to kill

you on. operational activities. so you only do a little so in your view then how dangerous a distant is this what was i said i mean some tomatoes thing is completely legal the activity of such kind and live seemingly nearly newsreels the conditions of where the drug addicts were kept to me it resembles prisons and even worse because now in the country life in prisons the sort of changes to the better ok we have to leave it there thanks very much indeed for coming and talking to us here on out and thank you. well turning to some other international nice now and let's start with some dramatic pictures from chile the unprecedented rescue operation that's underway to create a minus he's been stuck six hundred meters underground two months youngest miners just nineteen the fifth to reach the surface greeted with cheers and two unions for

high tech conglomerates ross none of it. is different with the very special situation where you cannot introduce an operation by decree but at the same time in russia you can move them to use them with a degree so there's a kind of the russian mystery both ways work states funds into a truck or a fleet management software known as telematics in russia's first venture i.p.o. to get prove it's making the young founders very rich indeed we started a group of students which was. in part by the telematics it to be russian venture company. believe the idea and gave us money to make this business from side of the side of the whole country. we started seeing worldwide. there are
