rushes on to silicon valley on a boycott for the visit. it was morning rush hour in the moscow 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 and camera flashes then the security service came out followed by arnold schwarzenegger i thought to myself well you don't see people like that often in moscow then the ticket barrier closed on him he got stuck people got it open a few minutes of course and let him pass but now he knows. or in the will shwartz me just one stop but it was enough for him to post it wave 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 their hostage the russian president giving him a tour of silicon valley and showcasing his very masculine boots. it is not clear why they made that they wondered what it's like to be in schwarzenegger's shoes but one month later the governing nadir even mosco 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 even an army makes mistakes so that our business leaders are going to find great partnerships with the so we are russian. that. just shows no one i am

perfect. a pap project but a taxi be a russian president this cocoa or park has been denying to spearhead innovation and scientific research in russia at the meeting we did it had no difficulties asking for help. 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 let's frowns on twitter very french warts may give praise to each other for their vision and to the delight of all he's found the govern they were 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 cocker project the governator may actually make these plots

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 it's a wake up artsy skolkovo. still to come for you in the program self-styled drug fighters thrown behind bars they've been a good thing addicts and forcing them off the needle only to come under prosecution themselves. months on a chunk of ice cut off from civilization that's what awaits a team of russian scientists who have just embark on a new mission their aim is to study the untapped arctic riches in an attempt to boost russia's claim to a slice of the polar pie. in the get a job or join them for their journey. than like a little volcano about three hundred meters to the right keep right. at the time these job requires a jewelers precision the captain is running his jaw and new clear eyes breaker at

the lowest speed possible together with a group of scientists he's on an important mission searching for an old form 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 you're looking at a 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 metre explorers say just five years ago that drew had into thirty meter three guys she's. 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 want to watch from this giant russell or a gust of wind could lead to a crack and that will mean the whole sation having to be wrapped up again and a new search for yet another suitable ice floe. and pieces were the hardest part of the mission starts the hardest for the helicopter the pilots work nonstop the talk last 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 eco sound for a year it will be gathering evidence to prove that the months of reach 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 dismissed some say water the russians do and in the arctic on a polar 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 we 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. and on the way in just a few minutes gearing up for the race of its life. the formula one grand prix of bonanza set so rolled into russia for the first time find out where and when you can book your hearts. 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 jorn public praise but also landed three members behind bars artie's sarah fourth reports. 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 ramberg 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 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 we're all 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 that in eleven years they have managed to pool their energies to fight the drug issue effectively those caught in the raids face either arrest or we have this run by the glory is 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 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 in both cities the foundation's 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 a 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 sarah fair are to catch him bag. in just a few days russia's capital will get its new mayor the majority party in the city parliament united russia says it will approve the kind of sort of get something done in currently a deputy prime minister who was nominated by president medvedev this fifty two year old us of yunnan is an outsider to 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 dmitri meant to get a pass the head of the russian presidential administration the previous mayor. who was head of the city for nearly two decades was sacked by president if you were there for last month dimitri public can offer from the united russia party explain

to us here at r t why he things are so be on in is the right man. i think it's not a matter of control of politics and money flows it's a matter of the city or fate of importance moscow is the special city and the supposed to be the in the vanguard of more than these asian and actually the federal government has a lot from the plans of how to create a financial center in moscow i think sabbaticals their enormous experience hall for work in the gallant he is known as an efficient professional he has managed to create a system within the government stuff 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 that was to be from the united russia party. well for many american couples adopting children in the u.s.

color seems to be a deciding factor although one half of the babies looking for a new family are black official figures show they're much less likely to find a home compared to others artie's a guy in a chicken parts. 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's words 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 caucasian 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 non african american baby home abortions 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 seventeen month old queen was adopted by two moms we've had to face the challenges that straight people down this road or. up 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 a black boy you know whatever obviously. parents they came to the adoption agency put their second child also african american by and large our family is largely of

irish english german descent 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 shut down our washington d.c. and on the way in just a few minutes voicing their views find out why and more and more germans are admitting to having extremist belief in the country sees a rise in a naturalistic feeling. 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 so signed a contract to run one of the world's fastest races that suit. has been checking out the possible future in the fast lane. promontory carlo to

thousands of formula one fans here is russian say the game is surely worth the candle a certain it will only bring benefits and not only in terms of image but people will be spending money here and the world small and midsize business will be paying more taxes so it will bring economic lives so i think it's really a very interesting and useful project last year's sochi already hosted and there's one demo competition on the central streets drawing thousands of spectators from all over the region so with the new circuit engines will ring and cars going at top speeds it looks like the world's most exciting race will point a new home here this board steve martin. one person has been killed and two wounded after an explosion on board an oil tanker on the river dong in russia's south now local emergency service say no fuel has been spilled into the water

these people in fact they are agree with the statements but they don't really want to tell it to say it because they know that it's not socially accepted and i think that this year in this year in two thousand and ten people were mo. more openly every thirteenth person once a few are back it is a high proportion and it is for sure it is a frightening result you can observe that people in general like democracy they approved democracy in theory but in practice they own they are not really satisfied how democracy works in practice it was molly's wiseman a researcher from my life so university in germany. obesity is now considered an epidemic in the u.s. only country to admit that expanding waistlines are a prime national health risk our very own a new york resident laurie huff honest asked people on the streets what's to blame

for the bigger bellies. obesity is a worldwide epidemic according to many organizations but the us has more obese people than any other country by far how did this happen this week let's talk about that well now people are playing more and more video games they're on the computer they're couch potatoes they're watching television years ago they never had these things so they were always out we get out there and enjoy the life that south africa has to offer here at an hour and a car you tell but i see that iran's a lot more focus on other things other parties in life making money and so forth i'm going to say it's laziness i think too many people are more concerned about finding what brings them pleasure we don't want to deprive our children that's my

opinion because i know when i was growing up you know you don't get cookies candy yeah and so i wanted to give my kids more and they want to give their kids my that's my opinion so is that how they view them we're not depriving them but are we doing them an injustice totally maybe because of you know the kind of restaurants and the food i mean the most the most successful ones are like food like mcdonald's and all that stuff so i think maybe it's because of that food in the u.s. is very early a lot of cheers a lot of cream. and a lot of food in every store on ten people become used to that and part of a huge problem is that it's cheaper to eat unhealthy than it is you healthy i mean you can go to mcdonald's and get a dollar menu and feed and bunch of your family for like five bucks or you can go to the organic grocery store and buy an apple who's to blame for getting us here. it's a. marketing exactly i mean you turn on the t.v. you see commercials for mcdonald's all day you'll see commercials for celery and

broccoli and you know who can blame kids i think a lot of us to do with our government. and keeping us entertained and busy doing other things and not thinking about things that we should be thinking about no matter who you think is to blame for the obesity epidemic the bottom line is that our bottoms will continue to grow until we actually do something about it. our exclusive also interview with the venezuelan president hugo chavez is coming away after the half hour headlines i'll be back shortly. to.
