but here he was the terminator. i saw lots of people and camera flashes and 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 or in the old schwartz nager rolled just one stop but it was enough for him to post a 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 corey and a permanent right of way. it was in june that schwartz made her 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 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 very wants to go and is very impatient and i think that we want to do everything that we can as california and as america 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 are the russian. just shows no one i'm perfect. a pap project but a tax savvy russian president this cocoa or park has been designed to spearhead innovation and scientific research in russia and the me to admit 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 lag behind in many respects and we do expect that our corporation will bring about positive results frowns on twitter made better french words and they 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 it's a boycott artsy skolkovo. to exile in the arctic all for the sake of science and

the future of a nation a team of russian researchers has embarked on a lengthy mission at a brand new ice station their aim is to study the untapped arctic riches an attempt to boost russia's claim to a slice of the polar pie or to. join the journey. than a little volcano about three hundred meters to the right keep right. at the time these job requires a jewel precision the captain is running his jaw and new clear eyes break at the lowest speed possible together with a group of scientists he's on an important mission searching for an old firm 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. 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. the arctic ice cap is definitely getting fener at times the drill plunges down less than a meter explorers say just five years ago the drill had into the ice sheets finally after several days of searching and dozens of test drills the explorers announced. to find a suitable ice build to unload at 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 when 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.

and this is where 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 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 what other russians do in the arctic on a polar night we're not going to ask anybody water when we should do the arctic belongs to russia they're working in accordance with all international treaties and

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 commentary from dmitri public kind of with united russia party. authorities in russia southern cross in our region have declared monday a day of mourning for the victims of recent flash floods the deluge has taken the lives of thirteen people nine more still missing more than twenty villages were completely swamped with some fifteen hundred people caught in the flooding the storm caused rivers to burst their banks and led to mudslides in the mountains blocking several sections of the north park asian a railroad the region is now bracing itself for more bad weather as the emergencies ministry has issued a new storm warning. as war in afghanistan enters its tenth year rights campaigners say more has to be done to protect the country's children many families have lost their breadwinner to the conflict forcing tens of thousands of young afghans to provide for their families as artie's paul asli reports from kabul many more children are at risk of abuse violence and harsh labor conditions. for

stomachs every day was a dean takes his bucket and joins the tens of thousands of children heading to the country's streets to make the meager living washing cars but despite their stolen childhoods they are the lucky ones my. dad was he was working with a policeman during the real explosion which is very very hard work will make it hard to deal with sometimes the other boys of three with me they say they want to wash 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 to each other every day i wake up super early 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 make the same

a cost made playground the 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 grain 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 children international community and big state of afghanistan has 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 being done to help them afghanistan's future generations see little chance of their lives ever getting off the ground.

kabul. coming up here on r t a crackdown on drug fighters a group of russian activists and kidnapping addicts and forcing them to clean up their act but now they're on the wanted. first though two thousand and fourteen just got even busier for the russian resort city of sochi not only will it host the winter olympics that year but now the city has also been given the green light to host russia's first formula one race dennis polaski is in pole position for us where the new track is going to be constructive. monte 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 come more than three decades of talks first with soviet and

now with russian leaders to find a suitable venue most few in st petersburg dropped out but the city of sochi in the cell which will also close 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 the future of 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 cousteau cluster of the olympic park it will be used parts of the existing infrastructure as well as a newly constructed track around some of the band. the first races are scheduled for the end up two thousand and fourteen would be olympics will be over giving organizers a chance to arrange a con the day shift 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 people 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. and now with petrol for the russian driver i think that's a that's it's a nice energy. local administration and sponsors are planning to spend somewhere between one and two hundred. million dollars on the circuit and pay another fourteen 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 lives 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 drawing 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 weak point in the new home here. r t so cheap. a group of self-styled russian drug fighters are 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 he was tactics have drawn public praise but they have also led three of its members behind bars r.t. sorry for ports. a drugs raid gets underway and after hours of waiting for 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 catherine he named 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 the beginning of the raisin coming through the window it was pretty exciting but the minute you get inside the reality of this 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 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 that we have his force with the authorities and you catherine there is a fragile one that 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 glory is 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 an incredible 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 was sentenced to three and a half years in prison despite having half the number of drug tests in the city in just two years which. 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 inaction. that people have to take the problem personally to 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 quite says 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 ordinary people like themselves to stand and fight sara fair. you're catching bag. u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton wrapped up a three nation tour of the balkans on wednesday while in the region she urged leaders in serbia and kosovo to open reconciliation talks washington is encouraging belgrade to accept the breakaway territories independence and obstacle of the country's better join european union many serbs in the former yugoslavia store a member of nato as the enemy that bombed that one thousand nine hundred nine expert michigan releve edge believes the u.s. is trying to gain influence in the region in order to control its resources. conducted a war with the first toward a lead by a normal european power against a european country i'm talking of course about the nato bombing of one thousand

nine hundred nine but they've also blown the republicans so obscure in boston and so they've clearly taken sides in what has been a civil war and an ethnic conflict so they're not seen as some so far as benevolent power that but what the u.s. wants is to control the region and its resources they would build the largest military base in europe in the occupied province of course it will also in boston herzegovina they've taken over the former yugoslav military airport base at tuzla and by the way have already used it in there was against iraq and afghanistan. commentary from balkans expert me sure give her a bitch turning now to some other stories making headlines across the globe iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad says the islamic republic is ready to get back to the international talks over its controversial nuclear program but emotions stalled more than a year ago and later the u.n. security council impose strict sanctions against iran as
