it was morning rush hour in the most part subway with passengers al boarding 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 wow you don't see people like that often in moscow and they take advantage of 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 that 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 to ask corey 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 mid that they wondered what it's like to be in shorts make your shoes but one month later big government aid or even most go 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 screen for nuance and as americans because it is to our interest to make russia successful yet as the presentation showed even arnie makes mistakes. that our business leaders are going to find great partnerships with the so we have over the russian. that. just shows that when i'm perfect. a pap project but attack sabby

a russian president the scorekeeper park has been designed to spearhead innovation and scientific research in russia and the me to admit it had no difficulties asking for help and. we are extremely interested in your considerable experience we are 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 that's frowned on twitter made very french words may give praise to 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 try to exterminate the human race ironically with his involvement in this cocker project the governor may actually make these plug 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 is nothing to

a group of scientists he's on an important mission searching for an old farm and the piece of ice to host the north pole thirty eight station fifteen people and two dogs will be floating on eyes for a year conducting unique stone of the environment to protect the mission is getting harder there are fewer and fewer suitable ice fields every year before we could find up to forty of them but now are combing the whole arctic in search of one. the arctic ice cap is definitely getting fener at times the drill plunges down less than a meter explorers say just five years ago that drew had boards into thirty meter three guys sheets. finally up to several days of searching and dozens of test trails explorers announced peace is it. to find

a suitable i spilled it on low to the arctic station is just top of the problem it is crucial not to damage the delicate that's why during the several days that i'm loading continues the ais breaker remains stationary you know not from this giant russell or a gust of wind could lead to a crack and that will mean the whole situation having to be wrapped up again and a new search for yet another suitable ice flow. and this is where the hardest part of the mission starts the hardest for the helicopter the pilots work nonstop a top class performance without a single landing. despite a snowstorm everything goes without a hitch. three hundred tons of equipment are safely unloaded on to the ice the most precious cargo is a deep water multi-beam equal sound for

a year it will be gathering evidence to prove that the months of breach is part of russia's continental shelf russia's in a race to submit its claim to the un should yield for twenty thirty. or you did some say what are the russians doing in the arctic on apollo night we're not going to ask anybody what and when we should do the arctic belongs to russia they're working in accordance with all international treaties and who will work day and night as necessary. as night falls in the arctic these fireworks mark the beginning of the real mission the eyes breaker hands back to the mainland while the fifteen man left face to face with a harsh paul a night a year of freezing conditions lies ahead for them with painstaking start the arctic world to reveal the treasures underneath it sit in the garage of our t. brumby arctic. on the way in just a few minutes time giving up for the race of its life.

the formula one grand prix bonanza set to roll into russia for the first time find out where and when you can book your hot seat. kidnapping people and locking them up for weeks this is what a group of russian activists is doing but their victims are drug addicts unable to kick the habit on their own the group's tactics of join public praise but also landed three members behind bars r.t. is that sarah firth investigates. 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 all 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 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 coup d. containing drug and really dangerous the beginning of the raisin 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. flying 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 is 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 we're all we have to do it be an issue to the relationship the group is for sure the authorities and you catherine there 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 are 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. 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. 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 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 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 sara fair r.t. catch emberg. in just a few days russia's capital will get its new mayor the majority party in the city parliament united a russia that will approve the candidacy of sort of currently a deputy prime minister who was nominated by president. fifty two year old us of young men is an outsider from moscow he was born in a siberian village and spent most of his career working away from the capital he moved to moscow only five years ago replacing to meet. the head of the russian presidential administration the previous man. who was head of the city for nearly two decades was sacked by a president last month dimitri public from the united russia party explain to our

see what he thinks is the right man for the job. i think it's not a matter of control of politics and money flows it's a matter of city or federal importance moscow is a special city and it is supposed to be the in the vanguard of modernization and actually the federal government has a lot from the plans of how to create a financial center in moscow i think said ben enormous experience hall for work in the gallant he is known as an efficient professional he has managed to create active system within the government staff he was quite successful as a governor of one of the richest regions in russia so he has enough experience to do so and besides i think it's also a matter of personal trust because he's well known by the president and by the prime minister and they trust him as a person and as a professional it was dmitri pollack i know from the united russia party. well for

many american couples adopting children in the u.s. color seems to be a deciding factor although the baby's looking for a new family are black official figures show that they're much less likely to find a home compared to all those years ago nature can reports 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 for just free that was our primary focus we really weren't interested too much in what the child looked like of the 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 a 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 look more like them and the majority of parents willing to adopt in the united states are caucasian but almost half of the children available for adoption are black a report here says parents were willing to pay thirty thousand dollars more for.

and not an african-american baby home of wasn't 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 while there are still signs of prejudice in the american adoption field there is no prejudice in this home a seventeen month old queen was adopted by two moms we had to face the challenges that. were in this world. cup for the job they chose to raise their two adopted children in a very ask nikolay diverse neighborhood of racists 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. whatever obviously. parents they came to the adoption agency put their second child also african american by

and large our family is largely irish english german and french canadian you know so smart usually a lot of white people and we need i would prefer a little more color and in our family. going to get our t. washington d.c. . on friday the president of venezuela hugo chavez was in moscow boosting times with russia or in a number of areas ranging from nuclear power to arms trade during his ninth visit to russia he met president dmitri medvedev than the prime minister vladimir putin and signed several key deals moscow agreed to build venezuela's first nuclear plants and help the latin american nation upgrade its military via their fan show first praise their cooperation and reaffirm their commitment to build a multi-polar world chavez also found time to speak exclusively to our spanish

channel and the venezuelan leader couldn't resist taking a swipe at his old foe the u.s. one of his era his believe it. here released it policy greatly home the world look at the legacy he lived in wars and tension he said we will punish terrorists he was not referring to real terrorists he was referring to those who disagree with america's imperialistic policy. and you can watch that full interview with parents in just under fifteen minutes time right here on r.t. while two thousand and fourteen will mark a double sporting debut for the russian resort city of sochi it's already set to host the winter olympics but now the formula one boss has signed a contract to run one of the world's fastest races there to tease denise has been checking out the possible future circuit. for

a monthly carload to malaysia formula one is one of the world's most popular racing come petitions 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 come more than three decades of talks first with soviet and now with the russian leaders to find a suitable venue more school and seeing petersburg dropped out but the city of sochi in the cell which will also host the winter olympic games in two thousand and fourteen will be the first to the checkered flag we are on the beach in the mid to low lead which could quite possibly see part of a future formula one race track from here you can see where the olympic venues are going to be just a few hundred metres away and 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 use parts of the existing infrastructure as well as a newly constructed track or on some of the venues the first race is a scheduled for the end of two thousand and fourteen when the olympics will be over giving organizers a chance to arrange a can in the day sion and provide logistics former ferrari team members says that building a circuit in russia should be a real pro pleaser especially with some homegrown talent like the dalai 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 pay another forty million annually to use the f one brand but with hundreds of thousands of formula one fans here is russians say the game is surely worth the candle a surname it will only bring benefits and not only in terms of image but people will be spending money here and. small and midsize business will be paying more taxes so it will bring economic life so i think it's really very interesting and useful project. last year's sochi already hosted an f one demo competition on central streets drawing thousands of spectators from all over the region so with the new circuit engines roaring and cars going in top speeds it looks like the world's most exciting race will point in new home here the sport ski party switching. moscow and london trying to put their differences aside and break the

concerned about the security of central asia equally we are beginning to think about how russia can help prop up the taliban forces you know after we leave of course britain is playing a once again a very minor part compared to the united states would be very useful to us both to work closely together that also of course relates as long as our troops are there to communications with our troops because pakistan as we've seen off the past two weeks is a very unreliable. whereas roots far russia and russian influence there isn't central asia an absolutely essential lifeline without them. position afghanistan be much more endangered. that was professor anatol lieven know of king's college in london. well flash floods in russia as a southern cross nadar region have left at least fourteen people dead eleven missing more than twenty villages were completely swamped with some fifteen hundred people caught in the deluge a state of emergency has been declared in the worst affected areas the storm calls
