a long and very difficult to recover it was this bus stop that valerie was not that the seriously injured but that was five years ago and since then he's been unable to say that but investigation he suffered horrific injuries and the memories of that day the still very clear in his mind. i remember exactly how it all happened moment by moment my friend and we so we're standing here as we parted to cross the street on the green light remember the green light rivered we had turned and began walking through that direction when i heard a sound and saw something flying towards me the driver of the car was eighteen year old. daughter of a former high ranking f.s.b. officer for larry's case all they being tonight a criminal trial does make it to the civil courts. we ask for three million rules in compensation she was sentenced to paying one hundred

her three year suspended sentence was recently revoked she to problems with the legal proceedings but the case will be retried soon. a patent can commit a crime to one person and enjoy nada and remain unpunished anish adam carr was not and will not be punished properly for what she did to us i'm sure. for larry's repeated attempts to get the case tried in the criminal cause of let's accusations against him with the abuse of the family claiming he jumped in front of the car and was trying to extort money from the in response to larry made an online play to president dmitri medvedev. i hope for your object of how mr president. an investigation into the legitimacy of the refuses to launch criminal proceedings has now been ordered. but i made my own my statement

not because i want compensation from my house because i have been accused falsely and because of all the corruption but i want justice. with the full investigation yet to be conducted abuse of her remains in the driving seat was larry left to slowly rebuild his life with the help of friends and family surf r.t. cheney have been squeege in. public services in britain are facing massive cuts in their budget as the government looks to fill the huge black hole in its balance sheet but economists say the financial doomsday hasn't even happened yet and politicians aren't learning the lesson of the last crisis article or am it reports . the start of a new working week in the city of london in the eye of an economic storm life goes on as normal but those who work here know that the financial crisis is far from over. but worse to come i think the worst still to come i think the worst of it

there is more to come how much more they're talking about the financial crisis we've already had but according to some economists we ain't seen nothing yet certain respected finance is this saying that rather than solving the issues that caused the last financial crisis governments and central banks like the bank of england behind me are actually leading us towards an even bigger meltdown and they can't even seem to agree on was to do in europe the powers that be are stopping the money printing machines over in the u.s. the federal reserve has just announced another round of quantitative easing but who's right nobody is right i mean that's really the problem the difficulty is that when you've drunk three bottles of vodka then you may well think that you're capable of putting the world to right but at the same point in time you know you're going to wake up in the morning with a hangover this is the point where we're working up in the morning with

a terrible hangover in a new book the gathering storm a group of finance he has got together to say that governments have learnt nothing from this crisis policymakers are applying old models in their economic projections and that could lead to inflation hitting ordinary people hard when looking at the fiscal position. of the size of the deficits that governments are running in relation to. yes we are we facing the sort of conditions which would be more with waterline than with a peaceful prosperous development and that doesn't look sustainable for very long term debt will have to be repaid and restructuring will have to begin but in the city there's a fear that people are in denial for sense of security i think yeah i think it's very convenient from the political perspective and overall feel good.

to feel better you know people want to feel better you know but it's the fundamentals are not great people are still in denial. but when they're on the tax man starts chasing people who can't pay then they'll be a problem that idea may come home to roost early as this week when the government announces extensive cuts to public services we shouldn't assume that the period of extreme global weakness which followed the lehman brothers collapse is the worst episode in this long drawn out depression there could be much worse episode still to come. and here in the city of london that would really put the cat among the pigeons nor am it r t london. you're watching marty coming to live from moscow still to come on the program the french seaside town of the veil hosts some high profile guests for an international chen way. and u.s. policies in afghanistan aimed at destabilizing soviet forces decades ago by back

a mere three hundred dollars this is thousands across new york fill homeless shelters with no room to spare three times one hundred eighty five you have to let you do one hundred eighty five with each meal while the number of people relying on a free meal has gone up by fifty percent over the last year others are not even keeping track of their spending three thousand four thousand. are working on a story about the gap between the rich and poor new york what do you consider yourself to be. the possibility of the wealth gap narrowing is far from being around the corner right now we're debating about whether or not to give tax breaks to the richest americans to keep this kept going to keep the growth. but if this gap widens even more new york me soon be split into two different planets a big one with tens of thousands struggling for survival and a small one with a very lucky few this future for the big apple could not be far especially while

a lot more to these discussions specifically issues that are more closer to home relevant to europe and the relations between european states and russia specifically a visa free regime for russian citizens is expected to be brought up in the discussions russia citizens at the moment are requested to by the schengen agreement to acquire a visa before entering european states russia forces long been negotiating a visa free regime for its citizens and that issue is definitely going to be touched upon by the russian president when he sits down to meet with his colleagues from france and germany but there are other much more serious items on the agenda as well specifically the economic crisis and its effects on a europe on by a lateral and european trade with russia of course there are many other aspects to the agenda as well specifically the framework with which russia is prepared to cooperate with nato the north atlantic treaty organization and various other

aspects of cooperation between russia and nato as well of course all those items are going to be discussed by the russian president. france and germany all of the leaders say that this kind of dialogue is very helpful and has a lot of potential because it is less formal and therefore the three leaders will have a chance to speak freely and perhaps achieve more results that way we know that so far no biological meetings are scheduled for the agenda but will of course be bringing you details as and when we get. our correspondent covering us are they're . going to believe it's highly unlikely russia will ever become an equal member of the e.u. or nato. russia in my mind is too big and too russian both for european union and for nato. they're not eager to see russia inside nato was created to keep america in germany and

already are selling above one hundred thousand close to one hundred fifty thousand the ministry of economic development is not favoring these very strict regulations and they are proposing an alternative way chase much more flexible. however not well defined in there so i would imagine the ultimate decision will be some sort of a compromise few cars nowadays have a national identity they contain parts from around the globe ironically international carmakers sourcing more of their parts in russia could turn out to be more russian than the better known domestic brands. business ot. banks having a lot of capital minimum risks and serving customers through skype the chief financial officer at one of the leading euro zone banks in tests and policy says that is how the hope banking system should operate after the financial crisis jenna
