energy resources and of course. more stable existence and economic growth a deal 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. the deal in the construction of the nuclear power plant is a major project. 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 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 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 cooperation but also the level of trust that exists between the two countries both our countries are eager to develop. a sector of the agreement on the construction of an atomic power plant and demonstrates the specialties we have with russia and the jewish shows how much confidence we have in russia to. continue working together in the gas industries in russia and. the visit was a very pleasant one with the weather and everything playing a long night. to the russian president he was very keen to note that whether

specifically saying that it reflects the state of relations between moscow and he also commented on get me saying that it might be a little too spicy for some russian taste but he personally enjoyed it a lot and of course this kind of banter this kind of light hearted talk just goes to show exactly how comfortable the russian and the vietnamese are together and how much emphasis they place on their relationship. georgia has so far refused to confirm or deny reports to spy network of twenty people of edge of the gathering classified information for russia according to an anonymous source quoted by reuters the members of the secret network detained on friday are all georgians the country's interior ministry has promised to give a press conference on the incident but not before 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 information from tbilisi is an indictment obvious way the country.

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 ideas 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 was trying to whip up. a social mood to support that. when members of

georgia's political opposition have been telling r.t. that the smallest link to russia seems to be enough for tiffany sake to bring a prosecution. kind of charges russian links russian ties russian experience is always used in georgia's police gunned i just know it's not any think about these people but they know this stranger it's like you know to be some whole thing these are. knowing is being which may be there but if you are business you russia or you feel your family in russia and you are with the judge it's quite enough for georgia law enforcement of shows to make criminal your scotian abodes it . thoughts there from the georgian conservative party of the there speaking from tbilisi there with our table live from moscow all the way for you in a few minutes fright night get ready to mount your broom now that demolition days how we it's being celebrated russian style. but

first russians are back in afghanistan helping the u.s. and local forces stand the staggering flow of narcotics from the country on thursday operatives destroyed four drug producing labs and seized a ton of heroin afghan president hamid karzai denounced the operation saying it violates his country's sovereignty but russian officials say they are puzzled by this statement as everything had been agreed with the afghan interior ministry invents the drugs raid is the first such operation by russian forces in afghanistan over twenty years after soviet troops left the country and for some of the fact that moscow had to step in and give us a push in the right direction came as a complete shock parties to get to the grouch over towards. their preferred this one this one but this one this one. and this one lost his leg and he got a mush is showing his quote skilled in the soviet war in afghanistan two decades

ago only four out of the fourteen in this picture made it out alive and really was a commando of a mind disposal unit in khandahar in two years his school to thirty five people dozens of others. a third of all mines used against soviet soldiers were american mate most of 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 after the soviet armies axid and drake was taken aback to find out the russia was back in afghanistan again base time with its former anomie . these are the pictures he saw on the news reports food truck purchasing laps 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 many 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 truth posturing through its full just 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 of ghana's stamp are seen as a threat to its national security rush is likely to remain a force in the region even as the us what's out an x. it strategy. faced with bigger war is sound less reliable neighbors said 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 is a sign russia is back and this time around not as the us cold war and of the but as a more to say ally exiting the trouble r t. live from the russian capital you're watching our team coming up in the program for you germany is divided this time along a different line of politics issue a stark warning to the country's immigrants all the details coming up in just a few minutes. plus as brazil votes for a new leader we hear from the communities being lifted out of poverty after a top commander helping out. iraqi lawmakers are demanding their government investigates allegations of war crimes to plea comes a week after the online whistleblower weiqi leaks released four hundred thousand secret u.s.

documents on the war in iraq the files do tell 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 nouri al maliki says the revelations are aimed at undermining the country's political stability but that's an overreaction an unlikely motivation for the leak that's according to one leading expert on the country. i think that would be very doubtful to imagine that the wiki leaks and the soldiers responsible for giving these documents to them had the undermining of the iraqi government in mind when they chose this date let's bear in mind that there hasn't been an iraqi government for seven months so please if there's many dates to choose from when it comes to releasing this in a sense this is u.s. military documents really unlike any previous media story or anecdotal reports 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 spokesman is 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 the u.s. will be put in danger by them they're 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 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. well staying in iraq saddam hussein's former deputy was sentenced to death this week to recover these was found guilty by the country's high court of person of persecuting opposition shiite islamic parties international human rights groups have condemned the decision to hang the seventy four year old and some x. words you the sentence doesn't attempt to divert attention away from the wiki leaks revelations british m.p. jeremy corbyn says the priority should be investigating the allegations connected

to the current regime. 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 have exposed the torture that has gone on systematically and i think the death sentence pronounced for the terek of 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 counsel the death penalty abandon the whole idea of the death penalty and instead look at the issues of human rights and justice look at the behavior of forces ever since the invasion took place i do not see the value in executing terakhir zs 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. germy corbin there

utterly failed and are too sarah firth reports there's a growing sentiment among germans that their home is being overrun with foreigners . yes we really. learn the language of an accent. we need to have a place. the message to immigrants in germany integration and tough talk from the german chancellor controversial speech recently friended multiculturalism. evening up and started to hate on an extremely sensitive issue. which is also called gaza strip because from my blood up to the yes ban 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 claim in west berlin foreign influence in this area really is very evident you got

a lot of foreign thought and porn shop fronts and at the very the discussions about education failures welfare abuses and crime within immigrant and you've got real problems with many people popping in the president says a lot of people fill holes about immigration. a 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 jokes were scarce almost the same amount the country is being overrun by foreigners do you have a mix so you have a german here and you have in english here and here and this is turkish this is this is nice so everybody can read that but if it is only only in turkish people they feel strange when they think where am i living this is an arabian city but should be in suing to debate has focused on muslim immigrants with some migrant

families reluctant to integrate into a society that they failed is prejudiced against them i don't think that changing my personality the way i look the way our talk or my even my mother tongue would change. where would. you 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. despite the tough rhetoric from the top germany knowledge is 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 no kids lots of germans have no kids so where should the kids come from

a far right party the hostile towards immigration and and sometimes they hostile towards immigrants is the group 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 feelings in swedish society. 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 and mel mel talking to us here in r.t. let's take a look now at some other stories dominating world news this sunday more than twenty injured explosion in established manger square turkish police suspect it was a suicide bomb blast happened near

to decide who they want to replace their popular outgoing leader at stake are the hearts and minds of the country's millions who live well below the poverty line and who say president lula was giving them better lives he served his maximum two terms but has lined up a successor argues our list of reports from sao paolo where the gap between rich and poor is narrowing. in brazil there are those who live tucked away behind barbed wire walls. and those who live behind shanty cinderblock ones brazil is a rich country but the majority is poor guarded gates paved the road to that majority separating rich from poor and cementing the vast divide of inequality that in many 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 to what 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 word jobs that really social policies are bringing inequality down 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 the familia for a very high dinner and her two daughters live together in one shared room about one hundred square feet in this favela or 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 both the familia and helps with food or sometimes i use it to pay a bill in return for both a familiar cash to naina 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 of our lives. she's ten years old and she knows how to read how to write 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 where 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. about walls. at the same time the parents are suffering less

both 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 if he reaches five dollars. not a solution for their lives but here you see how it has helped resiliency beyond their cinder block cities turned football playing fantasies. into goals these kids say of 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. and mr r. t. so paulo brazil skeletons policeman pirates and nurses dancing together only
