day are still very clear in his mind. i remember exactly how it all happened moment by moment my friend ilya myself was standing here as we pointed he left across the street in the green light i remember the green light vividly i had turned and started walking in that direction when i heard a sound and saw something flying towards me the driver of the car was eighteen year old abuse of the daughter of a former high ranking f.s.b. officer for larry's case or they being denied a criminal trial did make it to the civil courts. you know. we asked for one hundred thousand dollars in compensation she was sentenced to pay three thousand dollars to me and she did in installments but before the trial she was a major shareholder at a commercial bank in moscow at the time of the trial it appears she was just a poor student with twenty dollars monthly maintenance allowance. larry made

eight attempts to have criminal proceedings launched but was refused every time. if an ordinary person had been in her place they would have faced criminal punishment long ago the incident is too serious to refuse to open a criminal case there seems to be a category of the population in russia which is immune from criminal prosecution and it's not the first time that. children of high ranking officials have caused controversy with their reckless driving an apparent lack of punishment when anna chevon caver knocked down two women killing one and severely injuring another images of her checking the damage to her car and not the victims caused outrage a three year suspended sentence was recently revoked she to problems with the legal proceedings but the case will be retried soon so a patent can commit a crime to one person and injure another 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 objective help mr president. an investigation into the legitimacy of the refuses to launch criminal proceedings has now been ordered. i made my own statement not because i want compensation for my health but because i have been accused falsely and because of all the corruption 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 sara fair r.t. chelyabinsk region. 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 are learning the lesson are the last crisis parties or emmet 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 a lot 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 looking at the fiscal

position in terms of the size of the deficits that governments are running in relation to the size of the economy is. yes we're always facing the sort of conditions which would be. associated with water time with a peaceful prosperous development that doesn't look sustainable for a 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 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 seventy not a lot. of money from the tax man sobs chasing people who call by even there 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 at it r.t. . you are watching r t live from moscow still to come in the program brainstorming and bridge building in the french seaside town of divel host russian and european leaders or chinwag to warm up relations. and u.s. policies in afghanistan aimed to destabilising soviet forces decades ago by bad find out why america is losing the war on drugs that's coming up. that's one of the richest cities in the world home to bankers expensive real estate a luxury stores but recent figures suggest a pay gap between new yorkers is now wider than ever artist is here to work in
