locally known as crocodile it's a killer dean containing drugs and really dangerous beginning with the rays and coming through the window so it was pretty exciting but the minute that you get inside the reality of the situation really hits very hard you've got a young family. lying around the house next door a young child and a mother who looks barely more than a child herself extremely scared and upset and it really makes it very apparent just how sensitive this issue. should people be able to do this walking into homes and taking the law into their own hands. that it's an action which is cruel is it's wrong to rescue a drowning person by pulling their hair if people say it's cruel and 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 were we have to take the initiative but the authorities didn't quite see it that way when twenty three were called then is

similar methods in the city ignition need to go they were arrested. the only feeling i have is a disgust for our law enforcement agencies who instead of fighting the drug dealers are fighting an organization which was running a successful anti drug dealing campaign it makes completely no sense it's a crime against our city's population. that techniques such as involuntary we have military enforced by handcuffing addicts to their beds have resulted in a three and a half year prison sentence for kidnapping. but in this chap igor carried out over two hundred operations against drug dealers as a result the mortality rate is half the gypsies are afraid to sell drugs and consequently don't bribe your thora who's clearly the authorities there didn't like that the court handed down a three and a half year prison sentence for kidnapping the verdict has sparked a public outcry with 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 a man who's been convicted it's a man who is really trying to change something in this life to make life better or despite the public reaction the relationship between the authorities and the grape is a fragile one. the first deputy minister of internal affairs once told me your biggest problem is that you have a human the function of the state and i said i don't need to take it back and do what's necessary. the foundation has continued its fight in the face of what it says is a lack of government action. that people have to take the problem personally to understand that these people are their brothers and sisters and that unless they do it nobody will do it for them. when we visited the rehabilitation center that's run by the group there was no evidence of the controversial techniques such as

handcuffing addicts to beds which the group has been accused of by human rights groups and the authorities the doors are locked in the conditions of crimes that the group claims a seventy percent success rate it's tough treatment appears to be working with my mother saw it 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 rushes in the grip of a major drug 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 dealers but in rehabilitating users as well people like genya and the foundation's say that it's left to them to stand and fight to free their city of drugs sara fair r.t. catarrh emberg. well sarah did some extensive reporting she's been continuing to

follow the story and shared her impressions about a visit to one of those controversial rehabilitation centers. not a luxury place we the main area where they treated you had essentially over fifty people in one room 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. people have been going through the treatment at the time and come three and managed to get clean have now moved on with their lives they said it's incredibly hard i mean fighting a drug addictions 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 got people in this in a situation t. and that's really a very positive thing for them it is a volunteer last time because the people like the raid 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 raid 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 helped. you get new broom the head of the moscow center for the study of drug addiction says from a medical point of view the members of city without narcotics used insufficient methods. i think the tragedy for this foundation and its rehabilitation centers is the absence of effective laws which determine the roles of everyone involved what should be the relation between an addict and society it's not clear i don't think the foundation used any medical methods or tool they just held all those antics and didn't let them go their idea was that an addict should

go through suffering and that this pain would prevent them from using drugs in the future but it doesn't work and expect guess about the pain will they remember is the minutes of bliss and all they want is to come back to this condition from a medical point of view it's not a fish and to hold them the method should be complex to practice they use doesn't correspond to any known methods so i'm against the way they did it but at the same time i cannot say anything against their leader igor i think his motives were clear . but public anger is prompting the russian president to respond his aren't prosecutors to pay more attention to communities fighting to rid their towns of drugs recommitted have met with musicians campaigning for human rights told him the law needs to back those 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. unbiased without

interfering into the trial in order to avoid a conflict with the law. anyway if the situation is like you're saying it needs attention. armageddon on the streets of new york was the prospect promised by u.s. media in the brought up to the first civilian trial of a guantanamo detainee on american soil but now the hearing of terrorist suspects are met galani is case has kicked off in manhattan and the hysteria seems to have been groundless. the main problem isn't security same problem on the head no no how many intelligence secrets will we surrender during this process or terrorist or whatever on us soil that's not the point we'll 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 has seen 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 when for the first time a one ton of the detainees being tried in a criminal court of justice in the u.s. none 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 blue only 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 is that thousands of policemen would be needed to provide security in the area and that billions and billions of dollars would be refitted on policemen

for everything around them to be able to make sure that nothing goes wrong but clearly you know obviously that is far from reality another big arguments against terror suspects including guy lonnie being tried here was that there would be lots of traffic which clearly is not the case and that the neighborhood the locals living here would be worried concerned and bothered are they let's find out you know that a terror suspect is being tried in the courthouse right here you know. for sure. does it bother you that this is happening on u.s. soil. you know 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 being tried in this courthouse or. you know does it bother you does it concern you that this is going on right here you know on influenced by the attempts to hype them up with fear mongering the locals are not facing any of the issues predicted by the media going about business as usual and if that future

cannot party new york. up soon here in our team the britons better off on benefits to look into why the u.k. has more people sitting idle than any other major you country. and the international olympic committee is undaunted by the lack of snow in the subtropics as it praises the pace of preparations for the twenty fourteen sochi winter games. plus worming its way into a kremlin v.o.i.p. reception how one russian governor got an unexpected dining companion. but first the nuclear poisoning of former k.g.b. officer alexander litvinenko was back in the picture his murder in london four years ago caused to deep strain relations between russia and the u.k. but british foreign secretary william hague is now in moscow seeking to restore ties to the country knows out of an hour reports despite disagreements the two

sides are determined to work together. it doesn't it seem that the two sides have basically agreed to disagree one of the major issues that throws a shadow over relations between moscow and london is of course the case of looks at that it's the former k.g.b. officer was poisoned by a radioactive substance polonium in london just a few years that britain believes that made suspect in the case case a russian state to the deputy of the of the w. has been refused extradition. to britain in order to stand trial despite the numerous evidence that they have presented to russia to the russian side towards the russian side maintaining the fact that the evidence that the british side has presented is not conclusive and basically the situation remains at a standstill both sides reiterating the fact that they will continue to work together maintaining of course. the words within the colleague old phrase but the laws of both countries will remain in place so nothing much has changed with the

missing in the situation and it seems that both sides have used for the moment at least accepted that fact of course many different aspects of the relations that aren't as complicated were discussed including corporation in afghanistan combat in drug trafficking in cruising the bilateral trade and establishing closer cultural ties all those areas are where relations between moscow and london flourish and both sides seem to intent on increasing the operation. trying to tell who's the secretary of the bow group think tank in london says the u.k. needs international partners and russia is an important world player william hague has recognized that. its foreign policy needs to embrace a whole host of countries its foreign policy cold just be very still strong relations with one or two countries britain needs salute to emerge and it's all around the world and russia is certainly one very important market of that color

and there are opportunities for british business. and therefore i think there's an element of the new approach which is progress sick and another move which says let's agree to disagree these issues are very important but let's cooperate in other areas. nearly one in eight british households has no one in work that's according to a new study critics blame the country's welfare system which often means it's more lucrative to stay at home and find a job. 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 e.u.'s largest economies in which no one works it amounts to over eleven percent of homes long term unemployment is growing as a proportion of total unemployment but a bigger problem 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 grew up in workless households which is the highest figure in europe are some measure of thirty nine year old sondra hey 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 sandra gets the equivalent of more than twenty thousand dollars a year in benefits but she says it's barely enough to stay afloat doing anything. just existing given everything because you can't go anywhere that do anything with the kids growing up and learning most painful well of out far past. when their allowance for sandra also gets incapacity benefits 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 of the moment she found out her daughter was pregnant at seventeen devastating. devastating because she just got a place in college and. you're pregnant last year and keep asking me what we're going to do one and all the already. i think 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 claim benefits now that every other taxpayer picking up the bill the government is 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 tests and checks on people who want incapacity allowance but many of the people the reforms are aimed at have never worked and the big question is in a crisis hits economic climate it's all there any jobs for them to. your and it's r t. the twenty fourteen winter olympics may be several years away but russia's preparations for the games have received praise from officials the i.o.c. says it satisfies with the progress of construction in the black sea resort of sochi where the event is going to be hosted the news below its key is keeping an eye on the preparations members of the i.o.c. coordination commission are frequent visitors here in sochi they prefer to see for themselves how things are going and how the southern russian city is preparing for the big sporting events besides the mountain course there were the games will be

held part of the competitions will be also the coastal kloster in the. members of the chance to see for themselves whether things are going according to plan. you can be proud of great success in the following areas marketing planning education environmental protection and of course sporting facilities and infrastructure as we've been witnessing change in the city in the whole of the region where the olympic projects are already beginning to take shape because it's a very important period for the organizers of those who participate in this massive construction for in just a few months the winter of two thousand and eleven there will be testing come petitions it's a massive plan seventy four sporting events to test the olympic venues there's also a big concern among the organizers among the sports whether sochi will have enough snow and whether there will be sufficient weather conditions to hold the winter olympic games in this particular subtropical area but that's the organizers plan b.

if there will be problems with natural snow part of the project is that the kid to artificial snow production also they are planning to make special storage just for natural snow what we hear that dinner at the kremlin usually offers some of the finest cuisine for those lucky enough to attend those perceptions but a recent banquet included an unexpected source of protein when a worm appeared on the plate of one v i paid that's right it was the governor of the central russian terre region well found the added extra in salad during a reception for the german president well the governor wasn't expecting to share his meal and posted a twitter picture of the worm enjoying his salad although it was later deleted but the governor commanded that at least he knew his salad was fresh creepy crawlies aside as the kremlin's head chef told r.t. recently dinners at the country's top table expect a balanced diet. the leaders of the country prefer healthy food these days be more
