hailed by both sides as a very significant one with the russian president of course reiterating the fact that energy independence is one of the crucial points any country any state needs to become truly independent and a fully fledged player of the international arena in the twenty first century and russia is hoping to help achieve exactly that a. big deal in the construction of the nuclear power plant as a major project. somewhat leave you reach the goals we set this plant will account for vietnam's energy market and we allowed to develop as a sovereign modern state that not only produces and processes oil but also uses other sources of energy which is very important in today's world and of course this wasn't the only item on the agenda many other issues. were discussed many other deals were made including a deal to build a hydro power plant in the country as well a deal to exchange intelligence and intellectual information gathered.

in the framework of military cooperation that exist between moscow and a lot of issues of course on the agenda but the nuclear power plant deal is what both sides were mostly excited about as the vietnamese president himself said this is a very important deal that signifies not only the extent of russian vietnam's corporation but also the level of trust that exists between the two countries both our countries are eager to develop. energy sector the agreement on the construction of an atomic power plant demonstrates the specialties we have with russia and the jew shows how much confidence who have in russia to. continue working together in the gas industries and russia. cording to both leaders the relationship so much changed as it has progressed and prospered both sides were very keen to underline the strength. their relationship the existence of

a strategic partnership long before the agreement for a strategic partnership was actually signed the mutual shared views on various aspects of foreign policies all those things basically moscow eye to eye upon and so the visit was a very pleasant one with the weather and everything playing along nicely to the russian president he was very keen to know whether specifically saying that it reflects the state of relations between moscow and he also shared some of his personal experience in the city saying that he got a chance to take a few snaps of the city despite the fact i had to be from his car which moves very fast i would have a lot of skill to do that he also commented on getting food saying that it might be a little too spicy for some russian taste but he personally enjoyed it a lot and of course the russian president himself said the asia pacific region is the most fast as the fastest economically growing region in the world and russia of course is part of that region so it is very much involved in all of these things

all of the decisions and all of the plans that do take place in the region they want to continue seeing russia actively involved in the asia pacific region with the asia pacific countries and russia it seems shares that sentiment. because you know. georgia and russia could be one step away from a fresh spy scandal with reports to release of detained twenty people for alleged espionage on friday according to an anonymous source quoted by reuters the detainees are all georgian and are suspected of creating a spy network to gather secret information from moscow the georgian interior ministry has so far refused to comment and says it won't do so until the end of the week russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov said moscow is not aware of any details as there are no diplomatic relations between the two countries observers say the lack of clarification from tbilisi is an indictment of the authoritarian way the country is run. when someone is arrested they're entitled to due process that means they can call

a lawyer that family members can be contacted therefore arrests are announced and it never happens i can't tell you how bizarre idea is to hear a police spokesman say. i can neither confirm nor deny that arrests have taken place secret arrests are the hallmark of a police state. you know there is a new law before the georgian parliament which is called the freedom charter and it's something akin to the patriot act in the united states it will drastically increase the powers of the security service it passed its first meeting in the in the georgian part parliament recently and it is possible that someone is trying to whip up. a social mood to support that. georgia's opposition politicians are also can damning the authorities actions the country's conservative party leader says any links to russia seem to be enough to bring in prosecution by the tbilisi leadership kind of charges russian links russian ties russian

experience is always used in georgia's police gunned i just know it's not him think it both these people but they know this stranger it's like you know to be some whole thing these are. knowing is being each may be there but if you do business you russia or you feel your family in the russia you are with the judge it's quite enough for georgia law enforcement of shows to make criminal use it. a georgian opposition leader speaking from tbilisi on the way for you soon here in our team brazil looks for a new leader as a president record breaking on thirty bows out we hear from the communities be lifted out of poverty. russia and the u.s. are celebrating their first joint victory in the war on afghanistan opium trade thursday their operatives destroyed four drug producing labs in the country and see

as the town of heroin afghan president hamid karzai has denounced the operation saying violates his country's sovereignty but russian officials say they are puzzled by the statement as everything has been greeted with the afghan interior ministry in advance of the drug raid marks a return for russian special forces to afghanistan over twenty years after saudi troops left and for some the fad the moscow had to step in and give the u.s. a push in the right direction came as a complete shock like he's a cut in our reports. we're prepared vis one vis one we're this one vis one. and this one lost his leg and that he got a mush is showing his corporate skilled in the soviet war in afghanistan two decades ago only four out of the food chain in this picture made it out alive andrew was a commando of a mine disposal unit in kandahar in two years his school to thirty five people

dozens of others. a third of coal mines used against soviet soldiers were american mate. the us or our enemy which supplied the mujahideen with equipment weapons medicine it was american stinger missiles which helped shoot down our planes. two decades up to the soviet humiliating defeat and great will stay can a back to find out that russia was back in afghanistan again this time with its anime . these are the pictures he saw on the news reports for drug purchasing lapse on the border between afghanistan and pakistan were destroyed in a special rate and a ton of heroin worth over two hundred million dollars. after we gave information to our u.s. and afghan partners the three sides plan the operation for three months we used

about seventy special forces units three landing helicopters and six supporting ones the whole operation lasted less than four hours. but man experts say washington needed a push before it started to act it's unbelievable to me that it took russia to tell the united states where the drug labs were when we have a hundred thousand troops we've spent eighty billion dollars on intelligence we have one hundred thousand additional contractors so we had to know were crawling all over every inch of that country but it took you know two in fact to out the united states to force us and to embarrass us to cooperate with you to stop the drug trade which is in the interest of the entire world including the united states with more of the truck policy includes food has than any other country russia is convinced that the scan which must be confronted it is however those who know firsthand what fighting in afghanistan is like learning against being drawn into

a full scale war to become. stars and of course there should be special operations carried out against drug cartels but again special unit should be in charge of this nineteen year old boys should not be recruited for the job every single operation should be planned in detail starting from the intelligence section of the operation itself and wrapping it all up it's easy to get trapped in this war and hard to get out of it some of them are women. as long as islamist militancy and drunks emanating from afghanistan are seen as a threat to its national security rush is likely to remain a force in the region even as the us out an x. it strategy. faced with bigger war is sound less reliable neighbors say in the region the united states and nato appear willing to accept growing russian influence at this point they need all the help they can get at the gathering florrie objectivity in afghanistan as

a sign russia is back and this time around not as the us cold war anime but as a more dante ally exiting the gretsch of the r t mosco. and coming up in the program here in r t or get out. from missions in germany to immigrants across the country we'll look at how that message is going down in just a few minutes. iraqi lawmakers are demanding their government investigate allegations of war crimes and the plea comes and we capture the online whistleblower a wiki leaks released four hundred thousand secret u.s. documents on the war in iraq the files detail american forces handing prisoners over to iraqi interrogators despite overwhelming evidence of torture the data also sheds light on fifteen thousand killings over the past six years which were previously unaccounted for iraq's prime minister nuri al maliki says the revelations are aimed at undermining the country's political stability but that's an overreaction and an unlikely motivation for the leak according to one leading

expert on the country. i think that would be very doubtful to imagine the wiki leaks the soldiers responsible for giving these documents to them have the undermining of the iraqi government in mind when they chose this date and let's bear in mind that there hasn't been an iraqi government for seven months so it's not likely as if there's many dates to choose from when it comes to releasing this in this sense but i think that the documents certainly do point to a particular problem with the prime ministerial office in iraq it is an office that's been significantly empowered as part of the u.s. exit strategy with its individual sort of special forces units that have supposedly run internal prisons that these documents have now shown so maliki who is almost that close to the finishing line it seems at the moment with relations with iran and syria sort of confirming his role as the next prime minister now seems that he has another hurdle to jump across this is u.s. military documents so really like unlike any previous media story or an it total

report from iraq this is words from their own mouth which makes it very difficult for them to deny it and they're not really doing that if you actually listen to what the pentagon and state department. it's been a saying what they talk about is the critical nature of the nature of the leaks and whether u.s. soldiers or informers or people working with us will be put in danger by them talking about the method of the message rather than the message itself now the message itself paints a very different picture of the iraq the americans have been telling us about the last seven years and nowhere is that more true than this your body counts general tommy franks who led the invasion in two thousand and three said quite natural actually we don't do body counts but the americans have been doing body counts and those body counts now combined with the iraqi body count of n.g.o.s and agencies so that some fifteen thousand iraqi deaths have not been accounted for so the history of iraq is being written by these documents which are as i say from the americans miles themselves and staying in iraq saddam hussein's former dabney was sentenced

to death this week tariq aziz was found guilty by the country's high court of persecuting opposition shiite islamic parties the decision to use his seventy four has drawn much international condemnation and some experts view the sentence as an attempt to divert attention away from the we can leaks revelations british m.p. jeremy corbyn is among the critics of the trial. the reason they're doing it now you are correct on this is to divert attention away from the wiki leaks issue because wiki leaks of exposed the torture that has gone on systematically and i think the death sentence pronounced from tara to the user is to divert attention policy absolutely no point in this form of victor's justice being carried out 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 the invasion of two thousand and three cancel the death penalty abandon the whole idea of the death penalty and instead look at the issues

of human rights and justice and look at the behavior of forces ever since the invasion took place i do not see the value in executing terek izzy's any more than executing anybody else it will not bring the dead back it will further brutalise what is already a very brutal situation the death penalty does not work and fifty thousand u.s. troops remain in iraq to train and support local security forces but in many places like kurdish controlled care koch the legacy of the american led invasion remains an uncertain one people there fear a civil war could eventually erupt as sebastian meyer reports. a dawn raid a race against time to catch militants off guard in the iraqi province of kirkuk where in the suburb of doc cook and the police have just a few minutes to get into position before sunrise. daybreak's in the raid begins police under the supervision of the u.s. army go door to door searching rooms and checking residents against lists of

unknown terrorists. police dominated heavily by kurds have been remarkably successful recently they've cut terror attacks by over fifty percent in the past few months these guys are very good they are very good and they're very good at intelligence and develop they are gathering intelligence and developing intelligence and the other submerged crime police force not worried about it but others mainly the city's non kurds are here in downtown very good by the picture of her charity target and are used with their own historic claim of the kirkuk is a unique city in iraq a true melting pot of all the different ethnicities in the country but this mixture continues to lead to extremely volatile ethnic tensions a two thousand and nine field report that was recently leaked by the whistleblower wiki leaks states that without strong unfair influence likely from a third party these tensions may quickly turn to violence after the u.s. forces withdraw in this in terms of security when the u.s. leaves there will be no independent security force right now the security is from

the kurdish side of the city this is the truth where the u.s. leaves things will get worse it will be conflict arabs will stand up and prayed and we should say with that and this will. by god forbid but wars will begin between the groups as. an example of this violence wasn't long in coming no more than five minutes after we finished the interview a roadside bomb targeting the police detonated in the center of the city. luckily for the police the terrorists missed it appears that despite the gains that the police are making. the american troop withdrawal could easily lead to a return to sectarianism we can't cook for kurds arabs and turkoman alike the consequences of the u.s. led war have left the future of kirkuk very much uncertain sebastian meyer care cook for two. germany's chancellor says immigrants need to do more to integrate into society and at least to start by learning the language of their new home one

angle marco gave a damning indictment of multiculturalism in the country saying efforts there have only failed sarah first reports there is a groundswell of feeling among germans that they are country speaking overrun with foreigners. and yet you. learn the language of an excess. we need to have a place where the message to immigrants in germany integration tough talk from the german chancellor controversial speech recently friended multiculturalism. that it to date on an extremely sensitive issue. which is also called gaza strip because from how my blood. yes but he's becomes more and more arabia with high immigration in the past few decades germany has seen the developments of monocultural communities such as new clothing in west berlin

foreign influence in this area really is very evident in a porn porn shop and add to this the questions about education welfare and crime within immigrant and you've got real problems with many of the popping in the prejudice that the lot of people will hold about immigration. a recent survey conducted by the french 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 of 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. turkish people very few strangely. where am i living this is an arabian city but it should be in suing

to beit has focused on muslim immigrants with some migrant families reluctant to integrate into a society that they fail is prejudiced against that i don't think that changing my personality the way i look or why i talk or my even my mother tongue would change. have an effect on the german culture projects like this local community center 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. 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 going on so we need people from other countries to come in getting himself. would talk much and. if they knew how often they misunderstood others and a major challenge now with the faith. would be to chime bridge cultural divides which have been simmering quietly for a long time. there see that. let's not take a look at some of the stories from around the world and yemeni authorities have arrested a woman of sending clothes of parcels to us synagogues bombs were found on u.s. bound planes in the u.k. and dubai officials in yemen have also seized over twenty suspect parcels with suspicion falling on the country's activity a cell last year it attempted to blow up a detroit bound airliner. gunman have massacred at least

fourteen people during a football match of the northern one door in city of some. the group armed with assault rifles pulled up in a car and opened fire at a point blank range the motive is unclear but police believe the shooting may be linked to the drugs trade it comes almost two months after a gunman stormed a shoe factory in the same city and killed eighteen people and. iran says it's prepared to hold talks on its disputed nuclear program in a vampire the move came after the u.s. confirmed it was working on a new fuel swap deal for the country the u.s. and other western powers accuse iran of using its civilian nuclear program as a cover to develop nuclear weapons iran denies the charges saying its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes. rescuers are searching for survivors after an overcrowded ferry capsized and sank in a river in eastern india leaving at least eighteen people dead and more than sixty others missing the vessel was carrying around one hundred fifty people even though

ways is the story of latin america but in this developing nation and one of the fastest growing major economies in the world where they are pioneering deep water oil research and ethanol production for example signs of human development to marked by a before and after before outgoing president lula da silva took office and forgot the world are the people didn't recognise the poor today the rich are en route because the poor own as poor as they were before people have the opportunity to think he's increased the job market civil construction for me and for others he's giving jobs to people who didn't have it after lula's eight years in office is a brazil where more than twenty million of the vast poor have been lifted out of poverty were jobs but really social policies are bringing inequality down were income from the poorest in the country has grown eight percent a year while the richest has grown only one and a half brazil is part of a trend in latin america of countries that are electing leftist governments that

are essentially redistributing wealth to the poor in neighborhoods like this in brazil you see that most evidently and their program called both a familia for. dinner and her two daughters live together in one shared room about one hundred square feet in this favela are slum she gets by on a few odd jobs and she gets the equivalent of twenty four u.s. dollars a month from the government through bolsa familia and helps with food or sometimes i use it to pay a bill in return for both a familia cash to name a has to show the government that her daughter samantha gets her vaccinations and is in school and intends. at least eighty five percent of the time as a result and i thought most of all she's ten years old and she knows how to read how to write and everything she even knows how to use the computer samantha's life is one of learning an opportunity where once in a slum like this reaching her age meant dropping out of school to work and help the family i worked when i was younger ten years old i was already a nanny i didn't have the means to study but

a little government cash is helping to break that cycle and create a new one this is what i want them to set a lot so in the future they'll have a profession and they're not going to suffer like their parents suffered so i want them to study. at the same time the parents are suffering less the familia is responsible for a sixth of the reduction in poverty in brazil while it costs just a half percent of g.d.p. basically it's considered very cheap and efficient it's a model being transferred globally from mexico to new york city though by some accounts it still amounts to chump change. that. five dollars. for their lives but here you see how it's helped resiliency beyond their cinder block cities turned football playing fantasies. into goals these kids say is being doctors and teachers and

we're here for the first time arguably in its history the walls separating rich from poor don't look so set in stone. or lister r t so paulo brazil. an update on our stories is on the way plus why america is throwing good money after bad via miscalculating the real threat of terror.
