it was a 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 on 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 and 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 arnold schwarzenegger rolled just one stop but it was enough for him to post it wave 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 coliform new governor providing him with police asked courts 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 mitt they wondered what it's like to be in schwarzenegger's 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 thirty years of 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 neons and as americans because it is to our interest to make russia successful yet as the presentation showed even arnie makes mistakes so that our business leaders are going to find great partnerships with the so we are the russian. just shows no one i'm

perfect. a pap project but attack sabby a russian president the scope of our 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. we are extremely interested in your considerable experience we are not ashamed of learning we must admit that sadly enough we lag behind in many respects and we do expect that our cooperation will bring about positive results that's frowned on twitter made better 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 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. artie skolkovo. well coming up in the program this hour crackdown on drug fighters a group of russian activists kidnapping addicts and forcing them to clean up their act but now they are on the wanted list. that story first. self-imposed exile in the arctic all for the sake of science and the future of the nation a team of russian researches have embarked on a lengthy mission at a brand new ice station that aim is to study the untapped arctic riches in an attempt to boost russia's claim to a slice of the polar pie. has joined their journey. down like a little volcano about three hundred meters to the right right. at the time these job requires a jewess 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 the searching for an old farm and big piece of ice to host the north pole thirty eight station teen people and two dogs will be floating on eyes for a year conducting unique stone. environment if you were looking to 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 we're calling the whole arctic in search of one of. 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 moved 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 even then 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 floe. and pieces were 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 below months of breach is part of russia's continental shelf russia's in a race to submit its claim to the un shared yield for twenty thirty. or you dismissed some say water the russians do and 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 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 the night a year of freezing conditions lies ahead for them with painstaking star days of the arctic world to reveal the treasures underneath exiting the church of r r t brumby arctic. well on the way in a few minutes well it's been

a long time coming but it's finally here. before. her is set to roll into russia for the first time ever find out where and when you can book your hot seat. a group of self-styled russian drug fighters targeting addicts and breaking their habit they chase them down lock them up and let them out only when they've given up the needle that seems tactics may have drawn public praise but they've also learned three of its members behind bars as artie's sarah firth 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 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 to be using 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 codeine containing drug and really dangerous beginning with a raisin 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. 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 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 there 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 initial 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 a 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 inaction. 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 russia is in the grip of a major drugs crisis 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. moscow is just days away now from getting a new mayor united russia party which holds a majority in the city parliament says it will support deputy prime minister said it gets to being nominated by president putin fifty two year old to be on it was born in a siberian village and spent most of his career working away from moscow before moving to the capital five years ago he served as a governor of the oil rich human region because previous mare was sacked by presently after losing its trust if you put a call from the united russia party explains why they think sabean 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 the special city and the supposed to be the in the vanguard of modernisation and actually the federal government has

a lot from bishops 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 affective 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 and that was to be from the united russia party war torn afghanistan is seeing a boom in child labor is many men are either fighting on the front line or have been killed in action for a large number of young afghans school is a luxury they can't afford as they have families to feed all these reports now from kabul. for a few hours each finding these street kids get to remember they still just children

childhoods they are the lucky ones my. dad was he was working with the police and doing the real explosion which is very very hard work to make about. the other boys of today with me they say they want to watch this. is obviously is twelve he manages to bring a few dollars more into the home but it's barely enough to feed his mother and seven sisters harder every day i wake up surely my house is a long way from here only i can on the equivalent of about eight dollars but some days there's no work yesterday there was no work. but for some children it's easiest to come to the streets and that's a classic playground big university of life. most parents don't want their children to come here to school that's because these young boys and girls are the only

breadwinners in their families and spending just one hour in class could mean no food on the table that night fifty seven percent of the population of afghanistan is below twenty five years. majority of them they are born during the war in grand going to war without scale without education for every one hundred million dollars of foreign money spent in the military only seven million dollars goes toward social projects even less to the international community and they get this to understand how to pay and has to focus more on the children six million children are at risk in afghanistan of sexual abuse violence and harsh child labor and with precious little been. and to help them afghanistan's future generations see little chance of their lives ever getting off the ground paula sphere r.t. karpal. international olympic committee has praised the preparations for the twenty fourteen winter games in the host city of sochi the russian result will be making
