just becomes more and more arabia with high immigration if the past decades germany has seen the developments of monocultural communities such as new cologne in west berlin foreign influence in this area really is very evident you've got lots of foreign signs and foreign shopfronts and add to this the discussions about education failures welfare abuses and crime within immigrant groups and you've got real problems with many of these issues popping into prejudice says a lot of people still holds about immigration. the recent survey conducted by the foundation in germany found that almost a third of respondents felt that immigrants were coming to exploit the country's welfare system and should be sent home when jobs were scarce almost the same amount the country is being overrun by foreigners here you have a mixture you have a german here and you have english here and english here and this is turkish this

is this is nice so everybody can read that but if it is only only turkish people very few strange things where am i living this is an arabian city but should the ensuing to beit has focused on muslim immigrants with some migrant families reluctant to integrate into a society that they feel it's prejudiced against them but i have my own personality in my i believe things on my own. the way i've been brought up and don't think that changing my personality the way i look the way i talk or my even my mother tongue would change. where we. have an effect on the german culture projects like this local community center and aiding integration and teaching children the german language from an early age but with few bilingual arabic or take families likenesses sending their children to private school where they do not

yet learn german despite the tough rhetoric from the top germany acknowledges that immigration is desirable for its economy migrants have to be willing to integrate we need people in all of the industrial countries because we have not so many kids anymore i have no kids not of germans have no kids so where should the kids come from to work and help the industry going on so we need people from other countries to come in getting himself. no one would talk much in society if they knew how often they misunderstood others and a major challenge now with that they claim why a date then would be to chime bridge cultural divides which had been simmering quietly for a long time. and tensions around immigration are also erupting in another european country sweden police in the town of malmo were searching for a gunman who is thought to be targeting foreigners in

a series of shootings over the last year has left one dead and eight wounded journalist james savage says the situation highlights worries there's a general hostility towards immigrants in swedish society it comes just a month after the swedish election in which the sweden democrats which are a far right party the hostile towards immigration and and sometimes they hostile towards immigrants as a group and in general it's they were elected to parliament for the first time last month the fact that this is come to light since then does does it ties together a few themes in swedish society. and it reinforces this worry the there's a general hostility towards immigrants but on the other hand you can't say that these shootings are a reaction to this weekend democrats being elected because of course they started a year ago long before this when democrats made it into parliament but it's a sign that perhaps of increasing disquiet among

a small minority of swedes about immigration in sweden. journalist james savage there talking to us from the swedish capital well here's a god so what's ahead for you this hour and israeli soldiers under fire the troops strikes back at the army with new evidence of human rights abuse. the russian terrorist committee has confirmed that it has busted a foreign financial network used to fund terrorist groups in the north caucuses officials say the recent surge of militant attacks has been made possible by the growing flow of money from abroad with details here's stacey givens. the russian security forces believe that this foreign funding is directly tied to the increase in unrest in the north caucasus and they're primarily looking at dogs stand. and chechnya the agents say they have uncovered a network in which dummy companies deposit money into banks that money is then

withdrawn and then brought into russia via money mules and how much money has made it into the hands of militants is unclear but investigators assisted the money makes it to military leaders and then is doled out to foot soldiers and one of the leaders that it's it's expected to have benefit from this money is doku umarov now you name remember him as one of russia's most wanted criminals he's on the international most wanted list and he's also believed to be behind the moscow metro bombings that killed forty and left more than a hundred injured the most recent attack happened at chechnya when militants attacked the parliament building in the capital and killed three people also in the past month militants detonated a car bomb in a busy market in north of setia investigators are saying that they feel if they put a hold on some of this violence that they're putting a good defense on it because they were able to stop some of the money flow but

they're still investigating find out exactly where all of this money is coming from and what groups are associated with this cash. meanwhile an appeals court in warsaw has closed the case against another russian terror suspect akhmed zakayev who's been in self exile in london since two thousand and two he was arrested in poland to russia's request but was later released by the court on the grounds he had been granted asylum in the u.k. russia accuses of terrorism and other crimes and demands his extradition he faces a life sentence if he returns to russia and is convicted britain's refusal to extradite the decision to grant him political asylum was among the top reasons for the souring of relations between moscow and london in recent years. well a little bit later we explored marriage but without the children. why new to india being encouraged to put off parenthood and once money it's got to do with.

washington's denying it ignored numerous cases of iraqi torture and killing over the past six years the allegations stem from four hundred thousand secret u.s. files on the war in iraq leaked by the whistle blowing website wiki leaks the document details u.s. forces handing prisoners over to iraqi interrogators despite overwhelming evidence of inhumane treatment many detainees were said to have died violent deaths u.s. military officials say their orders were not to intervene directly washington's refusing to investigate the allegations despite an outcry from half a dozen arab countries former cia analyst rima government says the american media is now trying to divert public attention from we can be reports by slamming its founder julian assange. there goes back to the ancient greek times when you didn't like the message you shut shoot them but you kill the messenger and in those days

so what they're trying to do is deflect discussion of the hard details that have come out in these documents and have been on ad hominem arguments against us to make it sort of to trivialize it and to make it sort of a personal thing the the treasure trove of documents is precisely what you would expect from a war of aggression and don't pledge before that word because that's the way new defined what we did in going into iraq and afghanistan i wouldn't turn back said and it was justice jackson our own supreme court justice who said perpetrating a war of aggression is to commit the supreme international crime differing from other word. crimes only in so far as a contains the accumulated evil of the whole what's the accumulated evil torture kidnapping shooting civilians it's all there right in the wiki leaks at one point

some apache helicopter soldiers say we have some civilians that i'm in i want to surrender and the lawyer from headquarters says he can't surrender to a helicopter. and those civilians i mean it's the worst kind of thing and wiki leaks has done a great service to our country by exposing that. an israeli truth movement breaking the silence has posted new photos depicting abuse carried out by soldiers during the gaza war two years ago the israeli defense force condemned the group for publishing the pictures on facebook instead of turning to the military police the series of photos and videos posted online showing the inhuman treatment of palestinians by troops one such case is now in court two israeli soldiers are awaiting sentencing after being convicted of using a palestinian child as a human shield the founder of breaking the silence you who says the army is using the two as scapegoats to falsely show civilian human rights are being up. this is

in a way a political trial and this is a trial to try to clean the system these two late low ranking soldiers are going to pay for the mistakes of all the a separation of all the military for the big problems of the strategy and weapons that were used in operation cast lead for the rules of engagement and they're going to pay for it and in a way the army is trying to sacrifice them to clean itself and this is i think a problem there is a history of this of more and more cases of soldiers complaining of policy and complaining and still it seems like the ground level in the military cannot accept in a way this change because when you are in the field you always think that the judge and jury system they have their own idea about how to do things and you know how to do things and this is the way you were trained on and that's why this is the way you do and in a way when you're in the system and when you are on the ground in forcing the occupation you're in

a way you lose the ability to really distinguish right from wrong former israeli soldier that the founder of breaking the silence organization you had a short shavers thoughts with us here on r.t. . well now let's get to some other world news making headlines this hour and iraq high tribunal has passed the death sentence on to rica's ease once the international face of saddam hussein's regime he was convicted over the persecution of islamic parties last year as these were sentenced to fifteen years in prison for his part in the killing of dozens of merchants in one thousand nine hundred two he was also given a further seven years for his role in the forced displacement of kurds from northern iraq during saddam's rule. iran has started loading fuel into the core of its first nuclear power plant tehran says the russian built a reactor will start producing atomic energy early next year russia will help operate the facility supply nuclear fuel and take away the waste iran has

by strikes blockades for more than ten days the actions said to be costing the country over half a billion dollars a day. while many criminals just out of jail say they have no place to go and no system to help them get back on their feet but russia has a first choice rehabilitation center is giving former offenders another chance offering a home and support in return for hard work and abstinence. as the story. goes that it goes about. the confidence of a man has been doing it in fact this is the first real job he's. done for his life in prison burglary drugs offenses. you know i'm making a what if when i came here i had nothing with you no relatives or skills some people to me address but as soon as i came the allowed me to stay now my life is here. but that and thirty others live in this church from the dribble if they

should center on the outskirts of moscow the first of its kind in russia those who come mostly for the criminals and drug addicts are given bed and board and stephanie in exchange they agree to abide by a set of strict rules. that are sleeping quarters as you can see the conditions here are spartan not an extend this is due to the material limitations but also there see the ethos of this place people who stay here get up at seven work all day and then light out that eleven those so called drinking or smoking are excluded. most of the residents credit this man for saving them for that alexander was a young offender himself then arrest and soldier before finding god when he started to serve the nearly two decades ago the church was in ruins its surroundings a wasteland. trying to do this but it did not succeed god chose me to do this to curry the cross this is

a difficult job i was once the victim of an assassination attempt but i have the strength to do it. for that alexander says another one hand is needed to deal with people more used to living by prison rules for eight days your son's punishments from reducing someone's portions at mealtimes to toilet cleaning and worst of all banishment. he knows everything about everyone a bad father is one who doesn't punish his children on the other hand if you have the smallest problem down to a torn shoe is the man to take care of you. you know he's an extraordinary person although there is nothing wrong with me i have been here for years because of him. but for most purposes to me eventually. i have found a boyfriend here now when i want to still get a job maybe study i want to go back into the one out.

compensation to couples who remain childless in an attempt to keep a lid on the country's ever growing population but in a family oriented society the topic is a sensitive issue charan singh investigates. she told job of and her husband have promised to honor and keep kids out of the equation at least for now if they manage to years without having children the government will pay them one hundred ten dollars a lot of cash in rural india and they pick one by one my dad out of the money is important but i was moved worried about my house my hemoglobin levels were very low and the nurse began giving me magic ation delaying pregnancy made sense to me also i had just married into my husband's family and didn't want to have a baby right away. here. in western india for them every five couples have a child within the first year of marriage but the health risks here are immense i

doubt that much of our maternal deaths and infant mortality are quite high to bring them down the mother's health has to be improved before pregnancy that will help the child as well so many miscarriages happen due to anemia and that's where the government's honeymoon package comes in and two thousand four hundred couples have already signed up but there's more than individual wellbeing at stake india is experiencing an unsustainable population surge pushing it towards being the world's biggest and with the birth rate here dropping from seventeen per thousand to fifteen point four the honeymoon package is a proposal that other states are now keen to accept but at the village level it's not so easy i was just out of town with a job that i want the biggest hurdle is the elders of the family though the newly weds are willing their parents are usually against it due to the social pressure to bear a child right away. and that's exactly what's dividing the backcourt family when

i had my neck there is immense pressure on us we know the scheme is good but my mother is adamant that we have a child immediately. went along. only if they don't marry neighbors will start asking me what kind of daughter in law have you brought into your house who can produce a child they will also start to question my son's reality what is the point of one hundred dollars if you don't have social respect the. population controls are emotive in family oriented india but where stricter policies are failed it's hope that shifting attention towards health and prosperity will help young couples focus on their future instead of society's traditions and seeing hardy in western india time now for their business up there with stuff. hello and welcome to the business bulletin russian companies listing on the world

stock markets all but dried up during the financial crisis but now the recovery is taking hold there are signs the trend is beginning to reverse among other services rw have announced their intention to go to the market while petro pavlov's just listed in hong kong and joining me now to discuss the i.p.o. market is tom black quote managing director of m. communications which specializes in investor relations tom thanks very much for joining me now firstly is the russian i.p.o. market getting back on track well i mean i think that we'll we'll know an awful lot more in about ten days' time i mean if you look back to the beginning of the year certainly things didn't start as people hoped that the few deals that did happen haven't exactly been star performers post listing but you know now we do have what seems to be seven deals that are in the market all the same time and over the course of the next week we'll see how they go but in your point of view do you think the outlook looks positive i mean these still seem to suggest so but what well it's actually interesting at the moment in that you know you've if you look at

most of the comments out there from the sort of the analysts about most of the public commentary around us russian i.p.o. is the six it still remains extremely skeptical and i think that actually that perception will remain out there until we see a few successful deals having said that i as i mentioned that there are these deals out there in the market where we're on a few of them ourselves and it does appear that many of these may well get away and i think if if most of these do happen and get away more or less within the price range i think that you'll have a very different perception of russian i.p.o.'s by the end of the but you mentioned the skepticism which is around a lot in the market what is that based on well you know it's based really on if you look at actually the performance of almost all russian i.p.o.'s historically to date the performance hasn't been as quite as good as we might expect and certainly since the crisis the performance of the post-crisis i.p.o.'s but for one or two exceptions that also is significantly down so investors have actually lost. a lot of money in the last round of russian i.p.o.'s so that you can understand that fuel some skepticism i also think if you look at the forecast of the beginning of this

year i think that they were. i.p.o. forecasts always tend to be a bit aspirational in some ways and so i think that's that's fueled some additional disappointment with what's happened or not happened so far this year so it's going to take some time it's going to take a few good deals before before that's reversed so in general foreign investors looking at russian i.p.o.'s what are they considering when they're looking at buying into russia specifically buses say america or. in the u.k. for example well you know the obvious answer is it's always been about the growth story and if you look at all of the most any any russian companies particularly those that are plugged into the so the economy into consumer growth you've got an obvious answer to the question that but i think what's changed really over the last couple of years since the two thousand and five six and seven when it was almost enough to be plugged into growth and that was almost enough to sell the deal i think investors are now the much more fully and so you don't just have to be in one of the fast growing consumer sectors you actually have to be one of the top companies within those sectors to really get to get investor interest and

willingness to invest and what about transparency issues that they still a concern for foreign investors it would be wrong to say that transparency issues are not a concern i think that transparency corporate governance of buzz words that maybe gets more play outside of the russian universe than they than they do inside people who have more comfort of the familiar with the russian equities in the russian equity story perhaps not as concerned as you might think by reading the papers outside still their key issues but it goes much it goes well beyond governance and transparency that they're really looking much more scrupulously at these companies the financials price is probably one of the big issues now and you know why a russian company so predominantly this string of broad do you think that for example eastern markets like hong kong are they now becoming more attractive than london even well you know i think that what you've had over the last previous few years is i think certainly has been a general shift east. it's in times of global financial powers and that perhaps that trend may have been slightly altered by by the crisis but generally i think

that's going to this year you asian companies have raised about nineteen billion in equity issuance this year versus thirty billion among european ten billion in among us companies so that shows a certain trend whether that means that russia hong kong and those asian markets are the right market for russian companies not so very much to be proven so that's an interesting dynamic for the hong kong london moscow and which one is really right and do you see a time when moscow has the liquidity to be competitive but i think that the best thing that you can do is you have to think back maybe just two years and look at where the local market was going before for sort of the two thousand and eight meltdown and really you had the markets local markets becoming deeper and deeper you had that multi-billion dollar flotation and companies able to raise more money that was set back considerably years ago and it is definitely going to take time to rebuild again but i think that's the trend and finally quickly tom do you think that the russian government privatization plans will oversaturate the market with

russian i.p.o.'s make basically making them less attractive well i think that the answer if it's done right it can be done in a way that it has a net as a net gain i mean if you think about the overall benefits the market into the economy of actually getting more sort of private money into these large state companies i think the benefits can outweigh outweigh the minuses provided the program is structured in the right way tom thank you very much for sharing your insight with us and that was tom blackwell managing director of communications. and now let's turn to the equity markets the russian stocks finished in the red on tuesday on low or oil and metals prices energy wages were in the red as the price of crude oil banks also suffered p.t.b. it was down one point eight percent and that first point eight percent lower. markets in europe girls are also down with the flu. more than one percent of basic resources shares are coming under pressure to also move metal for cost far weaker
