such as you. live for an influence in this area really is very evident you got lots of foreign signs and foreign shopfronts and add to this the discussions about education failure is welfare pieces and crime within immigrant groups and you've got real problems with many of these issues popping into prejudices the lot of people still holds about immigration. a recent survey conducted by the fiji event 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 just with almost the same amount of the country is being overrun by foreign do you have a mix so 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 with me and i think where am i living this is an arabian city but

should be in spewing hate has focused on muslim immigrants with some migrant families reluctant to integrate into a society that they feel it's prejudice against. well i have my own personalities here my i believe things are my. the way i've been brought up and think that changing my personality the way i look the way i talk or my even my mother tongue would change. have an effect on the german culture projects like this local community center to aging integration and teaching children the german language from an early age but with few bilingual arabic or take families like in this is sending their children to private school where they do not yet learned. despite the tough rhetoric from the top german acknowledges

that immigration is desirable for its economy that 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 growing up so we need people from other countries to come in getting himself. you'll. see how they misunderstood others and a major challenge now with that they claim. the chime bridge cultural divide that ticking simmering quietly for a long time. i see. the russian anti-terrorist committee has confirmed the country's security service has busted a foreign financial network that was supplying money to militants in the north caucuses officials say increased funding from abroad was a major reason behind the recent surge of attacks in the region. reports. 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. 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 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 one of the leaders that it's it's expected to have witnessed it 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 when militants attacked a person and 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 said 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 to find out exactly where all of this money is coming from and what groups are associated with this cash. stevens reporting there meanwhile the case against another russian terrorist suspect a comet is a kind of has been closed by an appeals court in warsaw who had been living in britain since two thousand and two was arrested in poland at russia's request last month he was later released on the grounds he'd been granted asylum in the u.k. moscow accuses him of terror and other crimes and is calling for his extradition if convicted in russia he could face a life sentence decision to grant him political asylum was one of the reasons behind the sarin of relations between moscow and london in recent years. we live in

moscow still to come this hour for you turning to. a life of crime we report on how an ex convict turned priest has dedicated his life to helping other ex offenders and he's doing it the old fashioned way. first washington's in a state of denial following the publication of nearly four hundred thousand secret u.s. files on the war in iraq the by the whistle blowing web site we can this is just american forces often turned a blind eye to cases of iraqi torture and killings the document details u.s. forces handing prisoners over to iraq interrogated despite overwhelming evidence of inhumane treatment we need to tell you needs allegedly went on to meet a violent death u.s. military officials say their orders were not to intervene directly washington's fusing to investigate the allegations despite an outcry from a dozen arab countries the former cia analyst ray mcgovern says the american media is now trying to divert public attention from the wiki leaks report its founder

julian assange. there goes back to the ancient greek times when you didn't like the message 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 argument against us to make it sort of to trivialize it and to make it sort of. personal sort of thing 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 you define what we did in going into iraq and afghanistan i would never in barracks 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 war crimes only in so far as it pertains to the accumulated evil of the whole

what's the accumulated evil torture kidnapping shooting civilians it's all there right in the wiki leaks i want to point some apache helicopter soldiers say we have some civilians down it i want to surrender and the lawyer from headquarters says he can 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. saddam hussein's former deputy has been given a death sentence from the iraqi high court tariq aziz was found guilty of the persecution of islamic parties the head of russia's duma committee on foreign affairs says the verdict was deliberately time to distract attention from the row over the latest wiki leaks revelations well to discuss the sentence further i'm not joined by the british m.p. jeremy coleman in london thanks very much mr joining us now off the previous convictions that landed as he's in prison why the death sentence and why now do you

think. well i think it's absolutely right the reason they're doing it now that you are correct on this is to divert attention away from the wiki leaks issue because wiki leaks have exposed the torture that has gone on systematically this information back to britain issued a manual of interrogating prisoners whilst naked in two thousand and five was itself concretely the convention and i think the death sentence pronounced from tarik is very easy to divert attention do you think that will change your lives in those sorts of interrupt do you think that really a ploy like that really will succeed in hanging a man who's obviously been convicted a long time ago why should it succeed in diverting attention. i don't know you'll succeed for one second but i think it's an attempt at doing so and all those that are now joining in condemnation of terror because they should remember that many of those actually met terakhir disease in the one nine hundred eighty s.

and indeed up until the gulf war when he was seen as the acceptable face of the of the previous regime i'm personally completely opposed the death penalty in any circumstances for anybody policy absolutely no point in this form of victor's justice being carried out it will be nothing to reconcile people in iraq i think what we need is a real investigation into the behavior of the occupying forces and the iraqi army and its forces ever since two thousand and three this torture allegations and the way in which the u.s. forces apparently according to wiki leaks report killed people who because their lawyers said you cannot surrender to a helicopter that's tantamount to murder but nevertheless tariq aziz was clearly a major part of a regime that was and he himself has been found guilty of brutal crimes so why should he meet the same fate as saddam and his henchmen what's the difference. well terakhir was part of a regime it was very brutal it did commit the most appalling atrocities and i was

one of a very small number of m.p.'s in the one nine hundred eighty s. that opposed arms deals with iraq and raised the issue of human rights in iraq but i do not see the value in executing terakhir see any more than executing anybody else who will not bring them back further brutalise what is already a very brutal situation the death penalty does not work. the russians have said in agreement with the unthought what you're saying that this is wrong adding their voice to many international voices opposing this move do you think as a result of this that the iraqi government might actually listen to international opinion he may be reprieved. i hope they will i hope they will listen very seriously to it because clearly there are some enormous issues that have got to be addressed in iraq the death penalty on terror because these at the same time as trying to whitewash over and ignore the very serious allegations concerning torture that are very embarrassing to both the united states and the russian government i

think those are the issues that i know we addressed and i hope that the u.n. will intervene and i suggest quietly perhaps a little of the will it was the best way of doing it that cancel the death penalty abandon the whole idea of the death penalty and instead look at the issues of human rights and justice to look at the behavior of forces ever since the invasion took place you're an opposition m.p. there talking to me in westminster in london the moment how do you think the british government should be responding well the british government of both parties is had a very good record at all the un human rights council periodic reviews of opposing the death penalty in every country in the world so i hope and expect that the british government will also into being on this occasion say the death penalty should not be carried out to the surely did not be a death penalty on the start of your books but all in the case for iraq i hope they will also be prepared to open up the books on the british training manuals of two

thousand and five as well as putting pressure on the u.s. and iraq concerning what already has been revealed in wiki leaks i welcome the wiki leaks revelations because they begin to take the lid off the brutality of this war the brutality that the iraqi people have suffered and the tens of thousands of have died as a result of it as always very interesting to hear we have to say british m.p. jeremy corbin joining us live from london thank you very much indeed. iran has come one step closer to making its nuclear powered dream come true the country's first reactor in the southern city of bushehr has begun loading fuel into the call the facility has been built and he will operate with russia's help and it will operate with russia's help. has more on this it will take a little bit over a year for for the process for the preparation process to be complete and for the plant to start operating fully functional so it should start working in about december of two thousand and eleven now russia has been in bush era since the

beginnings for the last fifteen years russian specialists have been helping out in construction of the plant russia which is also the country that will be supplying the fuel and it also all be taking out the nuclear waste this entire process of the bush era plans is being watched closely by the international atomic energy agency so the i.a.e.a. specialists have been on the ground all along they are watching the process right now and they will be all the ground as well for the next year iranians have been trying very hard to deal with the sanctions it's really we witnessed a milestone in the launch of this plant the fuel is being loaded into the core of the reactor so this is the final phase of that process your secretary of state hillary clinton has also said that the united states is not worried about looks like iran is actually off the radar for the united states probably the rest of the western community can also ease up on tehran's nuclear ambition since it also seems to be only for peaceful purposes. the french senate has approved the country's controversial pension reform bill it brings the draft one step closer to law

follow and welcome to the business by the russian companies listing on the world stock markets all but dried up during the financial crisis now the recovery is taking hold there are signs the trend is beginning to her of us among other services rw have announced very intention to go to the market tom blackwell managing director of communications says the success of these deals will give a clear indication if conditions have improved. now we do have what seems to be seven deals that are in the market all at the same time and over the course of the next week we'll 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 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 analyst the investor 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 sent that 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 the if you look at actually the performance of almost all russian my peers 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. is but for one or two exceptions that i will say 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 fuels some skepticism i also think that if you look at the forecast of the beginning of this year i think that they were. i.p.o.

for cross always tend to be a bit aspirational in some ways and so i think that 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 rust and or gee efficiency was the top issue at the presidential commission on what and i think dimitri medvedev told the meeting in the russian republic of tatarstan why he believed it was essential for reforming the country's economy. energy efficiency is paramount to the modernization of our economy and social sphere might achieve these goals we create the shape of a new economy and increase competitiveness of all goods and services create new ventures branch's improve environment and quality of life the whole project is difficult and frankly speaking we haven't done much yet budget allocations need to have opportunities for attracting private investments that's why we need to get rid of the barriers for using energy service contracts. and now let's turn to the
