a long time coming but it's finally here. the formula one grand prix to roll into russia for the first time ever find out where and when you can book your hot seat. to that story still to come but first a group of self styled russian drug fighters are targeting addicts and breaking the habit they chase them dull lock them up and let them out only when they've given up the needle the team's tactics may have drawn public praise but they've also landed three of its members behind bars sarah firth has more. a drugs raid gets underway and after hours of waiting for a contact to give a 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 catherine he named themselves the city without
2:08 pm
narcotics agree piecing controversial tactics to target drug dealers and rehabilitate drug addicts this is a drug called there's a morphine locally known as crocodile it's a killer dean continued drug really dangerous beginning with the rays and coming through the window it was pretty exciting but the minute 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. and that's that and it really makes it very apparent just how sensitive this issue is. 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 hair if people say it's cruel inhumane let them
2:09 pm

2:10 pm
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 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 i do understand that these before they are brothers and sisters and that unless they do it nobody will do it for the pressure is in the grip of a major drugs crisis with an unofficial estimate 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 it's left to

2:12 pm
government has the world from vicious plans of how to create a financial center in moscow i think said banneker enormous experience hall for work in the garment he is known as an efficient professional he has managed to create a fact of system within the garment 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 to us because he's well known by the president and by the prime minister and they trust him as a person and as a professional and that was from the united russia party. african-american babies in care in the u.s. may have a longer wait for the numbers when it comes to finding a home many couples opt out of adopting black babies despite official figures showing more than half of all children up for adoption in the country are black what is going to as this report. people like to emulate their showbiz idols but they don't seem to be following the stars when it comes to adopting children many
2:13 pm
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 of 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 of 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 sandra says families need to be prepared before they decide to adopt a child of color and once
2:14 pm

2:15 pm
there is no prejudice in this home seventeen month old quinn was adopted by two moms we've had to face the challenges that straight people go with this or. up for the job they chose to raise their two adopted children in a very ask 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 like oh as. 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. . well coming up this hour a naughty terror trial on u.s.
