palm trees to back the independence all south the setia and up because yeah i'm doing in this particular view that as you say the ninth goal venezuelan president hugo chavez must go the focus is the signing of a common action laid to today which will lay the foundation for the areas of cooperation i can to give you twenty fourteen day things corporation telecommunications foreign policy cultural social but the main focus is in the military and the nucleus sphere in terms of military deals between the two countries they were you stunned and stuck her in full belief in the u.s. only its prime minister that even if you did things the bad think it could rise to folly then as well there was placing an order for a huge amount of russian military hardware including helicopters and tanks and could potentially become the best foreign body of the few boys play to jets concerns of the nucleus we have in this way that is building up now applause with the use of russian expertise to gauge how to beat the stress this is the peaceful
2:01 am
energy purposes there's also you up plans to be a building the whole of the gulf event is the way the bank which particular must go but also what about movies in venezuela china it would be a visit by the president hugo chavez without a bit of fire to make sure we would have had last night he really didn't mince his words during the forty five minutes emotional speech he granted it's more the cool be a question of fact empire of donkeys of course meaning the united states he also cracked a wall that devious jade shall we say which he felt conveys not only his feelings towards his american neighborhood also the feelings of many of the good luck in american counterparts happiness that. it's a polygamous leader must look you must of heard a mexican leader say poor mexico so far from god and so close to the and. it's all
2:02 am
of us lot of americans could see the exact same thing our poor american little so far from god and so close to the damned empire the yankee empire that has hurt our confidence so badly he also lets not spain's accusation that venezuela is housing training grounds back to terry think that is also another example of the weak show by american foreign policy and he described how that is we are as proud to be a part of the days that countries fight against being crazy and all of america's foreign policy parties out of habit reporting their. down one in ten germans apparently believe their country needs a new future a word which literally means a strong leader under this democratic parliament a study by the froggatt foundation also found that a quarter of those polled sympathize with nationalist or racist sentiments and claims the small number of votes for the far right doesn't reflect reality to meet among many germans who want looks like
2:03 am
a marked rise and set of views heard said for or should be sent home there wasn't enough work one in six said jews have too much power in the one his peers who conducted the study says a far right attitudes are deeply rooted in german society. the study shows that there's. education in some parts of society secondly people always and especially in times of crisis and search for scapegoats for their own political economical or social deprivation dissemination of all things together points us to the actually important thing which is democracy itself is nothing self-fulfilling or which is always there or something we have in europe without doing something for it so we have to fight for democracy every time and every day and yet that's actually what this results show us there is a rising which. partly influenced by the economic crisis from two thousand and
2:04 am
eight but on the other hand this rise from two thousand and eight to two thousand and ten we did a study in two thousand and eight as well isn't that important important is that we have this high percentage of right just extremist attitudes all over the time since two thousand and two when we started studies that in general everybody could be affected by these attitudes which means that it doesn't matter whether you are voting for a right to stay extremist party or the social democrats or even the leftist party all these people can have these attitudes on the way in a few minutes why cash talks in court when it comes to getting justice in america we investigate why the u.s. lags behind other developed nations in terms of legal access plus. a job with signals the start of the hunting season that brings in hunters from all over russia but also money for the local forestry commission licenses to shoot the ball
2:05 am
there dark i mean even bear. yes join our close up team on a traditional russian hunt enough to understand. the u.s. reports based on interviews with former detainees says afghan prisoners were abused at a secret richer detention center in afghanistan because include strip searches sleep deprivation and the lack of food. from this year despite president obama's pledge to clean up prison practices more in this formalities going to church again. it's important to remember that those detainees are not the first ones to report about this secret prison at the american military base in afghanistan were all sorts of different sorts of abuses were reportedly going on we've heard about this alleged so-called black jail before but a u.s. foundation that is called the open society foundations based in new york well they have recently interviewed eighteen former detainees and their description is
2:06 am
perfectly coincide with earlier reports on this black jail in of galveston they're saying that the cells were so cold that it was like cold sleeping in the fridge also they had dried lights on twenty four seven they're saying they were given food that was impossible to eat also they were unable to practice their religion well most claim they had been detained in those conditions for months although u.s. rules for detention set a limit of two weeks anyway if those accusations are true that it clearly violates u.s. rules u.s. and international laws on detention political implications of this could be even more upsetting as we know when obama became president he claimed a very tough stance against inhumane detention conditions at american military prisons he wanted to shut down the prison at guantanamo bay in cuba but never came true he also pledged improvements in detainee conditions in afghanistan some improvements have been seen like reporters were allowed to tour the main detention
2:07 am
facility in afghanistan and the red cross was granted a better access to the detainees there have been seeing certain reforms carried out since two thousand and nine but what is interesting how few of those interviewed by this foundation for this recent report on abuses in afghanistan are saying they were detained after the changes the reforms had been implemented that could cast a shadow on the obama administration's widely popular detention reforms so despite the announced changes there's not much disclosure on what's going on at some classified detention detention sites there. iran's president has wrapped up his controversial trip to lebanon having stirred up emotions in neighboring israel and the u.s. he's growing support the military group has been up before ending the visit we're going to deliver the group's leader will be handed him a gun that was taken from an israeli soldier. on a digital lashed out at israel saying zoologists will be defeated and call for
2:08 am
palestine to be forcefully read his comments were made just kilometers away from the border with israel sparking protests there and criticism the u.s. retains the ends of the middle east from attacks and security expert says that america's anger at the visit is spotty and distracting the world from the vast military presence its too has in the region. as well as weapons are a bit of a strategic surprise and we saw that in two thousand and six where they launched anti ship missiles and had a certain degree of technological advantage when it came to anti-tank weapons as well but in addition to the thirty thousand or so missiles that hezbollah has those early rearmed itself with since the two thousand and six conflict i think the iranian deals are far more interesting in terms of the welfare aspects they spent over a billion dollars reconstructing large parts of southern beirut there was a energy deal signed between the iranian foreign minister and the lebanese energy minister that could provide much needed gas and oil supply to a electrical infrastructure here in lebanon that is on its legs really and i think that is much more interesting in terms of iran's use of soft power to improve its
2:09 am
relations with lebanon rather than simply weapons alone there is a crescendo of violence regards to the iranian us relationship currently in the middle east and the us has not fully exited iraq it still has some fifty thousand troops on the ground there if you include special forces and the largest embassy u.s. embassy in the world this is a presence that aims to have a strategic effect in influencing which direction iraq goes and of course a reminder to the neighbor in iran that the u.s. has not accepted the region but remains on alert there instead the problem we have is that the competency of the iraqi military is in stark contrast to the incompetency of the iraqi political elite and government bear in mind we have had no government in iraq for a record breaking time over seven months now the newly rebuilt u.s. sponsored iraqi army number some six hundred fifty thousand if you include the border guard in the police americans are in a weapons spending spree at the moment in the middle east they're just finishing off a sixty billion dollars deal with the saudis and have spent over sold over ten billion
2:10 am
dollars worth of weapons to the iraqis since the war including high tech equipment such as f. sixteen zone and one tanks. well some other stories dominating the world headlines now it's barely a day since the thirty three chilean miners were rescued from their underground to deal with three of them really leaving hospital most of the workers are reportedly in good shape despite having spent more than two months away dark unfortunately millions watched the rescue which ended one of the worst underground entrapments in history. the u.n. says troops in the democratic republic of congo are raping and killing civilians in an area plagued by sin of violence two months ago he alleged attacks took place in a mining region where the president had sent thousands of soldiers to reassert government control senior going in urging the government to investigate and deploy police to protect civilians. tropical storm paula has
2:11 am
hit cuba bringing heavy rains and strong winds more than one hundred people have been evacuated to higher ground as a precaution more rain is expected and that's likely to cause flooding and landslides in the area as artie's high among residents still reeling from the devastating hurricane season two years ago. the u.s. is being ranked the lowest for providing access to justice for civilians compared to ten other developed countries a study says it's mainly wealthy americans who get the privilege of having the legal system behind them hotties preassure it takes a look at why the civil justice system is out of reach for the average american. the united states of america land of freedom and equality a place where all citizens have equal access to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness for us to try to make sure maintain their liberty in the freedom if. not if you ask the tea partiers and while many might wonder what exactly they've
2:12 am
been complaining about it looks like they might be on to something according to a new report by the world justice project the united states ranks the lowest out of eleven developed countries when it comes to access to civil justice and less than one in five low income americans gets the legal assistance they need wealthier people get good lawyers private lawyers they get out of whatever they were accused of and the same accusation against a low income person of color will lead them to jail for lengthy periods of time i don't looks like the good old us of a doesn't stack up when it comes to other factories either out of the nine factories that the project looked into from absence of corruption to limited government power to an effective criminal system the united states ranked seventh or below out of eleven countries in all areas except for one but then we really need to report to prove that the united states isn't all it's cracked up to be let's take a look at the justice system it's not just low income americans that don't have
2:13 am
access to legal services many argue that african-americans are unfairly prosecuted too and you know in the states we have this terrible problem with american bigotry racism bigotry class bigotry within the system a system that next in the system a white capital supremacy where we still have a large part of the population celebrating do that white people are superior to black people every day americans witness shocking stories of police brutality and police departments across the country are shelling out sometimes up to one billion dollars as is the case in new york city to settle cases. many having to do with brutality everybody interacts with the police and you think that they're there to serve and protect us but you know police officers need to understand that they swear an oath to the constitution and the number one important factor they should provide in their job is constitutional protection for the citizens of this country i think that's been lost and what about limited government powers the united states
2:14 am
ranks ninth out of the eleven developed countries when it comes to that the national legal and policy center recently found that the white house might be spying on americans on facebook twitter and other social media websites and not too long ago president obama resigned the patriot act that allows the government to spy on americans and seize personal records and private data in the name of homeland security we now know and the federal government has admitted that homeland security's main focus is not. the main focus and the war activists quakers conservatives libertarians land rights activist g.m.o. activist it's basically everybody and while the united states wages wars abroad to bring freedom and democracy to other countries many say it need not look beyond its own borders to find problems to solve and here we are going around the world. and invading other countries to bring democracy to them when we really should be
2:15 am
focusing on improving our democracy here at home i have an irony that may just contradict what the united states was founded on preassure either r. t. washington d.c. . to get closer to the parts of russia i discovered. yes where five hundred kilometers northwest of moscow in north korea and its thousand years of history the city has been witness to both soaring wealth and devastating war the only invasion out of the thousands of tourists who visit each year to delve deep into its rich history. to see. from berry picking to vodka drinking to game hunting a lot of russian traditions. in comprehensible and almost all of the traditions are widely practiced. living off the land every morning at dawn
2:16 am
the woman everyone here calls the mash or goes berry in mushroom picking this brings in more money than her pension is in the words if people want to earn a living doing this they can tell me it's not to work a tell in the forest i relax she hands her pickings over to you and the celeb you over pregnant and unemployed you know anna start the germ making as a home business she thought people would want that's completely natural no cooking no additives often no sugar recipe hasn't changed but now she employs dozens of people and her germs are sold all over russia. large scale agriculture was in decline here in the countryside often the people i employ have no other way to make a living certainly go has painted here since she was a child she sees herself as a chronicle of a country life but the slowly disappearing as more and more people move to urban
2:17 am
areas that i see my heart break sometimes when i see the crumbling houses in the lonely older people people don't put as much of themselves into the places where they live now a days but this quiet decline goes well with the cool delicate nature of the place . not everybody enjoys the outdoors enquires contemplation of a job with signals the start of the hunting season it brings in hunters from all over russia and also money for the local forestry commission for licenses to shoot for their dark i mean even bear. the hunt is carefully choreographed shooters take up positions on a range several hundred feet away from each other then beat and there's the woods on the other side when his dogs effect the scent they begin to chase the animal flushing him out and presenting an easy target for the shooters. well at least in
2:18 am
theory on this occasion nature spared its offspring and after three drives no game was killed. well you can never guess the hunt is a hunt but the forests are teaming with animals so the hunters bury pickers and fisherman leave the woods allow nature to rule over its domain but tomorrow they'll return because whatever city's offer its nature they still depend on your garage. good region. shortly arty reds out to check out the capital's four wheeled love affair. on this week's moscow of program i'll be delving into the subject of cars from the horse drawn carriages of peter the great soviet largess and the western imports of today used as a status symbol and not just as a form of transport it's easy to see how passionate russia has always been and indeed is becomes the subject of automobiles.
2:19 am
the world. is this week's moscow out is here for you in ten minutes time day's business news so far. below and welcome to the business bulletin a group of top fund managers say that economy is risking doomsday much worse than the events of the past three years eighteen investment experts say their views are being widely ignored by the media so they publish them instead in their book at the gathering storm artie's laura emmett spoke to co-author patrick young to ask what governments and central banks are doing wrong. we've spent the last twenty years at an all you can eat buffet and we've basically kept eating and kept eating and
2:20 am
eating and now we're food and i think the problem with that central banking is all about effectively when the party gets going the central bank must remove the punch bowl well what's actually happened here is you know ben bernanke up the point where we got to one minute to midnight instead of closing the party dine he brought everybody inside locked them up and pushed their faces into the punch bowl and made them drink more and therefore it's very very difficult because really we have a fundamental problem because actually the central bankers themselves are ultimately being controlled by the politicians i mean i realize we have this sort of rather elegant concept that they're politically independent but ultimately they're appointed by politicians they have to deal with politicians every day of their lives and therefore they are to some greater or lesser degree controlled by them and i think that's clearly evident for example when we look at mr tree shape at the european central bank he's very capable he's making clear statements which i think of been the right kind of policy but then ultimately he's been undermined by the government all around him the us is now has announced
2:21 am
a new wave of course to the day. that withdrawing. this is diametrically opposite this approach is seen as how is that possible we've got ben bernanke a helicopter ben as i think he'll go on history he's going to quantitatively anything he possibly can but i think one of the most important things we have to look at is also the fact of not just what the banks are doing in one direction but actually what the banks are demanding and i think it's interesting that for example when portugal decided it needed to build one of the large supra national banks doing well they're not taking their paper they're actually demanding gold so they want hard fixed assets and that's therefore rather worrying within europe the difficulty is that quantitative easing is going to be difficult to achieve because effectively they've spent all the money anyway so therefore there's nothing more to spend going through all this money what we see what they try to. themselves against the way that's the difficulty it doesn't just go away with one recession or less
2:22 am
it's a very short sharp recession i mean countries like for example the baltic states some of the parts of eastern europe because they're at a completely different fears of the developmental cycle and therefore they have got the opportunity to point but in the relatively bloated and wealthy large state to commie countries of western europe it's going to be very very difficult to turn not wronged and it seems rather ironic actually that in the post communist world it actually many nations in eastern europe that are actually better equipped to move forward than necessarily the nations in the west. that was patrick young a co-author of the gathering storm and now let's take a look at how the markets are performing asian stocks falling on friday that's is the dollar strengthens and bond risk climbs on fears the global recovery is faltering financials away on the nikkei pollinger slumped by his overnight. on the r.t.s. has just opened a third of a percent lower here in moscow following about downward trend in global markets and my six will start trading in

2:24 am
sparked by droughts rising fuel prices and subsidies for bio fuel the falling dollar has led to speculation in the commodities to our kids pushing up prices and increasing volatility this latest food crisis was caused by crop trailers in canada parts of europe and russia where drought devastated the wheat crop by the end of summer the russian government banned grain x. both of which contribution to a massive jump in the world with prices it was sad the ban might be lifted after the release of this year's harvest data but the first complete figures were as bad as feared sixty point nine million tonnes of grain was harvested last then in the same period last year we believe that barely experts will be brought to the next season to leave to i think the international community should go into a little green old from the start of next season in global terms the collapse of russia's weed harvest is the main story but for farmers and consumers
