arnold schwarzenegger i thought to myself wow you don't see people like that often in moscow then they take it bury it 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 to weep 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 pulled out all stops for the california governor providing him with police asked corey 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. but it's not clear why they made that i wondered what it's like to be in schwarzenegger's shoes but one month later the governing nadir even moscow

promoting russia's own version of a high tech hub and it's great when i met president medvedev in a pretty fornia that he has a vision and a very clear direction where he wants to go and is very impatient and i think that we want to do everything that we can as california and as americans because it is to our interest to make russia successful yet as the presentation showed it would arnie makes mistakes. that our business leaders are going to find great partnerships with the so we are russian. that. just shows that when our imperfect. a pap project but attacks be a russian president this cocoa or park has been denying to spearhead innovation and scientific research in russia and the me to admit it had no difficulties asking for help and why we are extremely interested in your considerable expense. we're not

ashamed of learning we must admit that sadly enough we learnt behind in many respects and we do expect that our corporation will bring about positive results from twitter made better french words and they get praised each other for their vision and to the delight of all he's found the governor promised that he'll be back and 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. artsy skolkovo and a group in russia's your world is using extreme measures to get addicts into rehab they kidnap drug abusers and force them into therapy the method has won public support but landed three members in jail sarah first went to see them in action

three. a drugs raid gets underway and after hours of waiting for a contact to give the signal suddenly everyone is up and running the police are involved but not taking part a law enforcement officers the raid is being organized by a vigilante style group for me cash emberg you name themselves the city without narcotics agreed he's in controversial tactics to target drug dealers and rehabilitate drug addicts this is a drug called as a morphine or locally known as crocodile it's a killer dean continued drug and really dangerous the beginning of the raids and coming through the window 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 of civilian participation in raids has raised concerns about whether members of the foundation should be allowed to take the law into their own hands. it's an action which is cruel is it wrong to rescue a drowning person by pulling their here 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 where we have to do it be an issue to the relationship the group is for sure the authorities and you katherine is a fragile one but in eleven years they have managed to pull their energies to fight the drug issue effectively those caught in the raids face either arrest or we have this run by the quarry it's left to family members to give the final consent. conditions a hard they spend a month being weaned off drugs on a very basic diet and inquire conditions but with the group claiming

a seventy percent success rate it appears tough love. it's true my mother saw what 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 but in other cities such as nish need to go similar initiatives have been dealt with very differently you go by each curve was sentenced to three and a half years in prison despite having half the number of drug deaths in the city in just two years and i only have a feeling of disgust for law enforcement agencies who instead of fighting drug dealers are fighting an organization which was running a successful anti drug dealing campaign it makes no sense at all it's a crime against our city's population this is sparked a public outcry and led many to conclude that corruption amongst authority might be to blame. this chap eagle 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 you for it is clearly the authorities there didn't like that but in both cities the foundations have vowed to continue the fight in the face of what they say is government in action. that people have to take the problem personally to understand that these people or their brothers and sisters and that unless they do it nobody will do it for them pressure is in the grip of a major drugs quite says with an unofficial estimate of two and a half million drug addicts in the country almost two percent of the population people like genuine the foundation say a united effort is in everyone's interest and until proper measures are in place to deal not only with the dealers but in rehabilitating users as well as left ordinary people like themselves to stand and fight to free their city of drugs sara fair. catch emberg. and retired police colonel who was involved in operations against

drug dealers told me that the group's approach is totally illegal to me so i was like who tortures and they would just stop we have to differ here the results of these methods to my understanding is completely legal even though the force of the agencies in the comfortable. the regional level. all of them are allowed to chew on the. operation with the two it was the conditions of where the drug addicts were kept resembles prisons and even the worse so they go in the program here in our team such as in pole position not candles just staging the winter olympics russia's black sea resort is on track to host one of the world's most glamorous sporting spectaculars and. we meet the outcasts of indian society find out why we deserve being abandoned by their families to live their last years alone. to germany now

chancellor angela merkel says attempts to build a multicultural society there have failed her comments come amid recent strong into immigrant statements from mainstream politicians a recent survey suggests of more than thirty percent of germans believe the country is being overrun by foreigners a study by the friedrich evert foundation found a quarter of those polled sympathize with nationalist or racist sentiments perhaps most worryingly one in ten apparently believes germany needs and new fewer words which literally means a strong leader and a last democratic parliament you notice keys who conducted the study says far right attitudes are deeply rooted in german society. distante shows that there's. education in some parts of society secondly people always especially in times of crisis for scapegoats for their own political economical or social

depreciation dissemination of all things together points us to the actually important thing which is that democracy itself is nothing self-fulfilling or which is always there or something we have in europe without doing something for it there is a rising which is probably influenced by the economic crisis from two thousand and eight but on the other hand does rise from two thousand and eight to two thousand and ten 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 and studies but 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 will be parents looking to adopt a child in the us are proving to be anything but color blind despite half of all

children looking for a new home being black figures suggest that your chances of being taken in are slim compared to other races are these going to chicken out has more. 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 illinois we were much more interested in having you know getting a child we were just free that was our primary focus we really weren't interested too much in what the child looked like a. 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 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 cock asian 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 and now an 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 and while there's still signs of prejudice in the american adoption field there is no prejudice in this home seventeen months old quinn was adopted by two moms and we had to face the challenges that straight people though were just they were a little more. up for the job they chose to raise their two adopted children in a very as nikolay diverse neighborhood or a racist 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 with a black boy you know whatever obviously. parents they came to the adoption agency it was their second child also african american by and large our family is largely

a six year deal has been given the green light and russia will host its first ever grand prix also in two thousand and fourteen he reports from the black sea resort. promoted to carlo to malaysia formula one is one of the world's most popular racing competitions and know it's coming to russia. bernie ecclestone the president and c.e.o. of formula one management the right in person to meet with prime minister putin and to secure a six year long deal. it clearly wasn't a race against time to get more than three decades of talks first with soviet and now with the russian leaders to find a suitable venue moscow and st petersburg dropped out but the city of sochi in the cell which will also force the winter olympic games in two thousand and fourteen will be the first of the checkered flag we are on the beach in the mid to low lead which could quite possibly see part of the future formula one race track from here

you can see where the olympic venues are going to be just a few hundred meters away right over there the big ice palace the purpose built super circuit will run through the so-called coastal cluster of the olympic park it will be used parts of the existing infrastructure as well as a newly constructed track or on some of the band use the first races are scheduled for the end of two thousand and fourteen when the olympics will be over giving organizers a chance to arrange you can the dacian and provide logistics former ferrari team members says that building a circuit in russia should be a real crowd pleaser especially with some homegrown talent like dolly patrol taking part it's one of the leading countries in the world it's it's it's you know. an emerging economy. formula one should be there it would be great for from the want to be there it would be great for russia to have a formula one race in a place like so she. now with petrol for the russian driver i think that's

that's it's a nice and energy. local administration and sponsors are planning to spend somewhere between one and two hundred. a million dollars on the circuit and be another forty million annually to use the f one brand but with hundreds of thousands of formula one fans here as russians say the game is surely worth the candle for a certain it will only bring benefits and not only in terms of image but people will be spending money here and both small and midsize business will be paying more taxes so it will bring economic life so i think it's really a very interesting and useful project. last year's sochi already hosted and the one demo competition on the central streets showing thousands of spectators from all over the region so with the new circuit engines ruling and cars going at top speeds it looks like the world's most exciting race point

concerned about the security of central asia equally we are beginning to think about how russia can help prop up anti taliban forces you know after we leave of course britain is playing a once again a very minor part compared to the united states but be very useful to us both to work more closely together that also of course relates as long as our troops are there to communications with our troops because pakistan as we see it after the past two weeks is a very unreliable partner whereas roots for russia and russian influence there isn't central asia an absolutely essential lifeline without them. position afghanistan be much more endangered. let's take a look at some other stories from around the world and in ecuador two workers have been found dead after the collapse of a mine shaft rescue workers are trying to find two others are missing but following brock is making it difficult to reach the affected area rescuers are digging out of the main shaft and may also dig a side tunnel it's thought the collapse was caused after
