stability and its energy sector suffers from a lot of a lot of electricity shortage so this field to build its very first nuclear power plant is a significance of not only the growing and the stab progressing relationship between moscow and one noise but also the entrance. to a new energy level of sorts that helps. said help the country stablish itself within the twenty first century world the arena has a strong stable independent economy so this deal is of course a hugely significant deal not only because of all those economic benefits but also to the relationship between moscow and noise as both the russian leader and his vietnamese counterpart were very keen to underline this just goes to show how deep the trust between the two countries exactly is. a big deal in the construction of the nuclear power plant as a major project. reach the goals we set this power plant will account

for vietnam's energy markets and to develop as a sovereign modern state that not only produces and process as oil but also uses distortions of energy which is very important in today's world. our countries are eager to develop in the energy sector. and the construction of an atomic power plant in vietnam demonstrates the special ties we have with russia and of course to do shows how much confidence we have in the russian technology. continue working together in the oil and gas industry both in russia. so a very significant deal and he says he just heard both the russian leader and his vietnamese counterpart underline course not the only deal many other agreements were signed. in the military more energy deals including. to build a hydro power plant

a lot of basically deals signed today showing just how strong the partnership between moscow and honey is. in the. region why is the region so what tractor and vice versa. well as you probably know and. region is responsible for sixty percent of the world's g.d.p. and as the russian leader himself said today it is the strongest emerging economy in the world today russia of course is part of that region and wants a bigger role in its developing and its development and its ambitions because it has a lot of potential and according to the russian leaders and of course to the leaders which were here for the annual summit also taking place and the development of progress and the potential of the asia pacific region is something definitely to be not only watching but also participating and if possible no i'm never going to. do

you know the region is quite interesting have you heard anything about president medvedev personal impressions have. so far from what we've heard and he said no dime times only times he was very pleased about his visit from everything starting with the weather which he said was a reflection on how good the relationship between moscow and noise weather here has been perfect blue skies very warm not too hot not too cold just pretty much perfect and of course his personal impressions were also pretty big he said that you managed to take some pictures even if it was from his car which he himself said was moving quite fast so it takes some skill to take a good snap but he managed to do it he also spoke about his experience of vietnamese food saying that for some russians it might be a little too spicy but he actually prefers his that way so it was a very pleasurable experience for him not only did he manage to take it. an

experience he also managed to ground so during a later part of his program he met a one vietnamese student who said that there was somewhat of a role model for her and that her biggest wish would be to shake his head the russian president said that is possibly one of the easiest wishes to grant and proceeded to do exactly that shaking lady's head she certainly seemed pretty happy so good impressions for everyone so far lucky girl right live from hanoi. thanks for them. in other news russia and georgia could be entangled in a spy scandal was reports to these two detained twenty people on friday for espionage and anonymous source quoted by void or said those detained are all georgian and are being suspect are suspected of being part of a spy network gathering information from moscow the georgian interior ministry has so far refused to comment and says it won't do so until next week russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov said moscow was not aware of any details as there are no

diplomatic relations between the two countries well experts say to these evasion shows how a far tarion the country is. 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 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. past its first reading in the in the georgian part parliament recently and it is possible that someone was trying to whip up. a social mood for support that. one of the country's

opposition leaders says to me see uses the slightest link to russia as an excuse to prosecute. this kind of charges russian links russian ties russian the spirit is always used in georgia's police. and i just know these people but i know that it's quite you know to be sort of holding three zero. spinach may be there but if you are a business you are showing your family in that i show you everything in georgia it's quite enough for georgia law enforcement officials to make criminal. life from moscow curious r.t.e. coming up for you scouting for ball two sold wait sentencing for using a palestinian child as a human shield forcing him to check for explosives while his family looked on. brazil the incoming leader will have to deal with the enormous gap between the rich

and poor learn about their first steps in a few minutes here on our team. the first ever joint us russian anti drugs operation in war torn afghanistan has been held a success special forces knocked out for drug labs on the afghan border with pakistan and confiscated a ton of heroin worth hundreds of millions of dollars well afghan president hamid karzai condemned the operation claiming it violated the country's sovereignty but russian officials say karzai statement is confusing as the raid was led by the afghan interior ministry the operation marks washes return to afghanistan twenty years after soviet troops withdrew from a decade long war against the mujahideen in charge of insurgent parties accepting the grouch over reports how for some boost to the u.s. led anti trunk's effort came as a complete shock. therefore. vis one this one this one this

one and this one lost his leg. and he got a mush is showing his corporate skilled in the soviet war in afghanistan two decades ago only four out of the fourteen in this picture made it out alive under a was a command over mine disposal unit in kandahar in two years his school board lost thirty five people dozens of others lost limbs a third of all mines used against soviet soldiers were american mate most of the us or our enemy which supplied them with dean with equipment weapons medicine it was american stinger missiles which helped to don our planes. two decades after the soviet army is axid and drake was taken aback to find out that russia was back in afghanistan again this time with its former anime but. these are the pictures he saw on the news reports food truck producing labs 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 drug passing through its food has than any other country russia is convinced that the scan which must be confronted at its source however those who know first hand what fighting in afghanistan is like learning against being drawn into a full scale war because. of course there should be special operations carried out against drug cartels but again special units 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 and remember it. as long as islamist militancy and drunks emanating from of ghana's stand are seen as a threat to its national security rush is likely to remain

a force in the region even as the u.s. works 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 is a sign russia is back and this time around not as the us cold war anomie but as a mordant a ally it's a democrat you are t. . iraqi lawmakers are demanding their government investigate allegations of war crimes the plea comes a week after the online whistleblower we cue leaks released four hundred thousand secret u.s. documents on the war in iraq files detail american forces handing prisoners over to iraqi interrogators despite overwhelming evidence of torture that shed light on fifteen thousand killings over the past six years which had previously been 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. 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 let's bear in mind that there hasn't been an iraqi government for seven months so it's not as likely as if there's many dates to choose from when it comes to releasing this in this sense this is u.s. military documents really unlike any previous media story or 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 spokesman is saying what they talk about is the critical nature of the nature of the leaks and whether u.s. soldiers are informers or people working with the u.s. 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 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 this week a top aide to saddam hussein was given the death sentence sentence i should say on charges of murder and crimes against humanity but the verdict has drawn international condemnation british m.p. jeremy corbyn says referring to the old regime was a ruse to deflect attention from the revelations by wiki leaks the reason they're doing it now 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 territory is to divert attention absolutely no point in this form of victor's justice being carried out it would 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 a brand of the whole idea of the death penalty and instead look at the issues of human rights and just to sort of 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 well the seventy four year old terror because these were sentenced to death by hanging on tuesday he served as deputy prime minister and foreign minister to iraq's former president saddam hussein much of it was convicted of killing members of shia political parties opposed to saddam's regime or he denied any personal involvement. to israeli soldiers are awaiting sentencing for forcing

a nine year old palestinian boy to check for bombs during the invasion of gaza almost two years ago activists however claim that the conviction bypasses those who allowed the practice to continue pull the slayer met the boy who was thrust into the line of fire. measured robber was just nine years old when soldiers grabbed him and made him check for bombs. i was just sitting here is really soldiers took me over there there were two bags and they told me to open them but i didn't know how to do it. he was terrified of the abandoned briefcases which the soldiers thought could be booby trapped and his fighting family forced to watch one of us a video one of them put his hand on my son shoulder and made him go into the toilet cubicle i heard a few shots fired soon afterwards i felt like i was dying my little daughter he was with me kept saying they killed him. and yet it was five years ago that israel's

supreme court made the law crystal clear human shielding is an absolute absolute no no endangered civilians deliberately is absolutely prohibited but the reality on the ground is still very different you had to show his army years in the palestinian territories he knew the supreme court's ruling but watched his sergeant ignore it so did he and the soldiers serving under him so what we did is we just bumped into a house nearby house we grabbed one of the kids we took him with us put him in the front of the patrol you just walk your patrol in the village with your kid and then no one for a start one hundred sixty complaints were filed about the way soldiers behaved in the gaza war two years ago but only forty seven criminal investigations were ever carried out most of them have since been closed i think that to ask a combat soldier and serve in the occupied territories or use palestinians as human shield is like to ask you to drink coffee in the morning but israeli lawyers say convicting the two soldiers is to the i.d.f.

scribus there are always soldiers who step out of line that that's that's part and parcel unfortunately of bringing a military operation to say that as a general phenomenon it's idea of soldiers you know use human shields that's absurd for much of the family they take comfort they finally be getting justice even if it's only against low ranking soldiers and not the commanders they accuse of allowing human shields behind the laws back here r.t. jerusalem. there with. almost twenty minutes past the hour coming up for you the treats of moscow are flooded with vampires devils and pumpkins as a gears up for halloween weekend find out more here in our team in just a few minutes. people in brazil are voting for a new successor to the highly popular president moved to disillusion in the first round earlier this month dilma whose have got more votes than her main rival joseph cetera it's widely expected that will take power and will become the contras first

all got bored all the people didn't recognize the poor today the rich are angry because the poor 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 jobs that 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 the familia. janina 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 bolsa familia it 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 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 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. it's. 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 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. let's take a look now at some other stories from around the world this sunday an explosion in the symbols main square has left at least twenty two people injured but they say a suicide bomber was targeting pollution officials blast occurred near
