strong stable independent economy. big deal in the construction of the nuclear power plant is a major player. you reach the goal. this power plant will account for vietnam's energy market and we allowed to develop a street that not only produces and processes oil but also uses other sources of energy which is very important in cities were. trees are eager to develop in the energy sector their group under construction. in vietnam demonstrates the specialties we have with. us we have been rushing to. continue working together in the oil and gas industry. 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 wants a bigger role and it's a development. because it has a lot of potential but the russian leader was very pleased about his visit everything starting with the weather which he said was a reflection on how good the relationship between moscow and the noise whether here has been perfect blue skies very warm not too hot not too cold he also spoke about his experience of saying that for some russians it might be a little too spicy but he actually. it was a very pleasurable experience for him not only did he manage to take an experience he also met a grand. later part of his program he met one vietnamese lady and the said. 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 way to grant to do exactly that shaking lady's head. he certainly seemed pretty good impressions for

everyone so far. artie's got there you know a lot of our reporting there from hanoi. to russia in georgia could be entangled in a spy scandal with reports to greece to detain twenty people on friday for espionage an anonymous source quoted by reuters said those detained are all georgian and are suspected of being part of a spy network gathering information for 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 is not aware of any details as there are no diplomatic relations between the two countries experts say tbilisi's invasion shows how authoritarian 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 it is to hear a police spokesman say. i can neither confirm nor deny. that arrests have taken place the secret arrests are the hallmarks 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 of the georgian part parliament recently and it is possible that some of this trying to create. a social mood to support. one of the country's opposition leaders says tbilisi uses the slightest link to russia as an excuse to prosecute. this kind of charges russian links russian ties russian is spirit is always used in georgia's political propaganda i just know anything about these people but i know that three

in georgia it's a quite enough to be some holding three zero i sure know any spanish maybe sir but you for sure fail business in russia or you are family in russia and you are reading georgia it's quite enough for georgia law enforcement off shows to make criminal you're scared about said. and in a few minutes the ethnically diverse iraqi city of kirkuk is a real tinderbox to take you want to leave to prevent the sites from becoming a hotbed for terror attacks. in brazil the incoming leader will have to deal with the enormous gap between the rich and the poor learned about their first steps in a few minutes on r.t. . the first ever joined us russian anti drug czar peroration in war torn afghanistan has been hailed 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 now 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 russia's return to afghanistan twenty years after soviet troops were removed from a decade long war against where you dean insurgents are to. reports for song goes to the u.s. led drugs effort came as a complete shock. for this one died so did this one. this one or this one died. while this one was. under reagan national is showing his crime rates killed in the suv it war in afghanistan two decades ago only four out of the food chain in this picture made it out along andree was a command over mine disposal unit and. in two years he schooled. one

people dozens of others. at them all mines used against soviet soldiers were america mate. the u.s. which supplied the mujahideen with the quick weapons medicine it was american strong in his sons would. shoot don't know. but. two decades after the soviet. dream was taken aback 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 food truck purchasing labs on the border between afghanistan and pakistan were destroyed in a special rate and the town of peregrine went over two hundred million dollars. we gave him permission to all us and asked. the three sons or some of the operation

for three months we used about seventy special forces units three landing helicopters and six of those the whole operation lasted less and. that's 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 a 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 two 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 passing through its full just than any other country russian's convinced that this can't be confronted it is however that those who know crossed

can't get quiet in afghanistan is live and learn against being drawn into a full scale war with the company. of course it 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. the operation itself and the wrapping up of the operation it's easy to get trapped in this war it's hard to get out of it 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 few use in the region even as the u.s. works out an x. it strategy. faced with a bigger war is less reliable the region the united states that may appear willing to accept growing russian influence at this point they need all the help they can get at the gathering florrie opportunity in afghanistan is

a sign. this time around how does the us cold war but as a modern day. it didn't catch up with r t. iraqi lawmakers are demanding their government investigate allegations of war crimes now the police comes a week after the online whistleblower wiki leaks released four hundred thousand secret u.s. documents on the war in iraq the files detail american forces having prisoners over to iraqi interrogators despite overwhelming evidence of torture the data also shed light on fifteen thousand killings over the past six years which had been 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 week according to one leading expert on the country. i think that would be very doubtful to imagine that 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. 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 all 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 us 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 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 and selves. fifty thousand u.s. troops remain in iraq to train and support local security forces but in many places like kurdish controlled care cook 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 we're in the suburb of duck 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 developing gathering intelligence and developing intelligence and

the other subversion from police who are not worried about what others mainly the city's non kurds are doing here in the downtown area is that why the picture her charity target was her own historic claim on 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 the midst 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 when the u.s. leaves things will get worse it will be conflicts arabs will stand up and prayed and we should stay with the man and this will buy loads by god forbid but wars will

begin between the ethnic. you know it's 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 or turn to sectarianism in kirkuk for kurds arabs and turkmen alike the consequences of the u.s. led war have left the future of kirkuk very much uncertain sebastian meyer care cook for r.t. . and coming up later this hour the streets of moscow are flooded with vampires and devils and pumpkins as it celebrates halloween find out more here on our team. this week a global warming skeptics in the u.k. marked the second out of what they've dubbed climate for day two here's a go as the british parliament was debating

a bill to tackle climate change the earliest snow in over seventy years fell in london activists claimed the chilly coincidence was just more proof that the bill is a waste of taxpayers' money and our mental author philip foster insists climate change is a natural thing and mass actions don't have any effect there's not a particularly dramatic rise in c o two. anyway carbon dioxide does not affect the climate i think that's a fundamental statement that is the misconnection that the climate warming alarmists have made but there is climate change of course but that is a natural thing but no it isn't due to a man's actions anyway man's amount of carbon dioxide represents a tiny proportion of the shift anyway about four percent whether extreme events always take place always have and always will blame them on human emissions simply . pointless because there is no real connection. that was environmental author

philip foster there. how germany is reevaluating its multicultural society after the chancellor said efforts to build it have utterly failed i'm glad merkel says immigrants need to do more to integrate and learning the language of their new home should be a priority as our furth reports more and more germans feel foreigners are taking over. and. learn the language of an accent so. we have a place where the message to immigrants in germany integration tough talk from the german chancellor controversial speech recently friended multiculturalism. that it dictates on an extremely sensitive issue. which is also called gaza strip because. up to the u.s. bank becomes more and more arabian with high immigration if the past few 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. borenstein of foreign shop fronts and at the vis the discussions about education failure with welfare of the fifth and crime within immigrant and you've got real problems with many people popping in the president says the 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 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 they feel strange with me where am i living this is an arabian city but should be in securing the base has focused on muslim immigrants with migrant families reluctant to integrate into society that they feel it's prejudice against them 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 to aging integration and teaching children the german language from an early age with few bilingual arabic or taking families like the 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 to people in all of the industrial countries because we have not so many kids anymore i have no kids germs 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. too much and. if they knew how often they misunderstood others and a major china. now with the debate play why dave would be to try and bridge cultural divides which have been simmering quietly for a long time. there r.c. . people in brazil are voting for a new successor to be highly popular president lula da silva in the first round earlier this month. he got more votes than her main rival is a sarah it's widely expected that lucifer will

a take power and will become of the country's first woman head of state below the poverty line have benefited from the current president giving them better lives and as artie's lauren lyster reports from sao paulo the gap between rich and poor seems to be 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 two are marked by a before and after before outgoing president lula distil but took office in fact i

believe the people didn't recognise the poor today the rich are angry because the poor own as poor as they were before people had opportunity 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 he was 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 countries. they're 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 are familiar with. the inane and her two daughters live together in one shared room about one hundred square feet in this food vella 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 melissa familia and helps with food or sometimes

i use it to pay a bill to not turn 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 think most of all she's ten years old and she knows how to read how to write in 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. i want them to said 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 only cost 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 by some accounts it's still amounts to chump change. but here you see how it would help them still see beyond their cinder block cities turned football playing fantasies. into gold. these kids being doctors and teachers and we're here for the first time arguably in its history the wall separating the rich from poor don't look so set in stone. or in mr r. t. so paulo brazil. and now to some other world news this hour forty worshippers have been taken hostage during a catholic mass in baghdad militants attacked the iraqi stock exchange and then
