within the twenty first century world arena as a strong stable independent economy. the deal and construction of the nuclear power plant is a major project a long term one and ultimately for you reach the goals we've set this power plant will account for a great share of vietnam's energy market and will allowed to develop as a sovereign modern state that not only produces and process as oil but also uses other sources of energy which is very important in today's world. countries are eager to do. it under construction. demonstrates to special. shows how much confidence we have in russian technology. to continue working together in the oil and gas industry. 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 wants a bigger role and it's a development in its ambitions because it has a lot of potential the russian leader 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 one noise weather here has been perfect blue skies very warm not too hot not too cold 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 that way so it was a very pleasurable experience for him not only did he manage to take an experience he also managed to grand so during a later part of his program he met one vietnamese lady who 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 wishes to grant and

proceeded to do exactly that shaking lady's hand he certainly seemed pretty happy so good impressions for everyone so far. reporting there from. the first ever joint u.s. russian anti-drug 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 hundreds of millions of dollars president. hamid karzai condemned the operation claiming it violated the country's sovereignty but russian officials say cause a statement is confusing as the raid was led by the afghan interior ministry artie's a new company in a gretsch of a report that for some moscow's part in the u.s. led mission came as a complete shock. or did this one died of so did this one group board and this one group or did this one died too while this one lost his leg and he got

a mush is showing his cormorants killed in the soviet war in afghanistan two decades ago only four out of the fourteen in this picture made it out alive andrei was a commander over mine disposal unit in kandahar in two years his ward 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 were enemy which supplied the mujahideen with the quick mint weapons medicine it was american street in asylums which helped shoot down our planes. two decades after the soviet army is x. it and really was taken aback to find out that russia was back in afghanistan again this time with its former anime. these are the pictures he saw on the news reports for drug producing 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 this after we gave information to our u.s. and afghan partners the three sides planned 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 truck passing through its forges than any other country russia is convinced that the skin 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 of peroration should be planned in detail starting from the intelligence sections of the operation itself and the wrapping up of the operation it's easy to get trapped in this war and hard to get out of 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 less reliable 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 opportunity in afghanistan is a sign. and this time around how does the us cold war anime but as i say. excited about travel r.t. . in a few minutes the ethnically diverse iraqi city of kirkuk. we take you on a raid to prevent the site becoming a hotbed for terror attacks. and in brazil the incoming leader takes up the baton to close the gap between rich and poor that's coming up in a few minutes right here on. russia and georgia could be entangled in a spy scandal with reports tbilisi detained 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 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 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 are 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 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 so. akin to the patriot act in the united states it will drastically increase the powers of the security service past its first meeting in the in the georgian part arlan recently and it is possible that someone is trying to whip up. a social mood to support that one of the country's opposition leaders says tbilisi uses the slightest link to russia as an excuse to prosecute these kind of charges russian links russian ties russian experience is always used in georgia's political propaganda i don't know anything about these people but i know that it's quite enough to be some hold linked with a russian. spinach may be there but if a business a russian or family in russia and you were raised in georgia it's quite enough for georgia law enforcement off shows to make criminal. iraqi lawmakers are demanding

very government investigate allegations of war crimes the police comes a week after the online whistleblower wiki leaks released four hundred thousand to 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 shed light on fifteen thousand killings over the past six years which had been 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 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 and 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 exactly

as 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 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 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. fifty thousand u.s. troops remain in iraq to train and support local security forces but in many places like the kurdish controlled kirkuk the legacy of the american led invasion remains

an uncertain one people there fear civil war could eventually erupt as sebastian mere 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. 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 gathering intelligence and developing intelligence and the other sort of verge growth he's not worried about but others mainly the cities non kurds are here in the downtown area if i would urge characters that are used to their own

historic claim of the kirkuk is a unique city in iraq the two melting pot of all the different ethnicities in the country but this mixture continues to lead to extremely volatile actually tensions the 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 all of them this will in terms of security when the u.s. leaves there will be no independent security force right now the security's from the kurdish side of the city this is the truth when the u.s. leaves things will get worse it will be conflict arabs will stand up and parade and we should say with the mayor and this will. go for a bit but worse it will begin to grow 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 next it appears that despite the gains that the police are making. the american troop withdrawal could easily lead to or turn to sectarianism in care 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 r.t. . coming up later this hour russia ranks number one for you with authorities left looking for solutions and alternative methods. the streets of moscow are flooded with vampires devils and pumpkins and as it celebrates halloween find out more here on our team. brazil chooses dilma rousseff to be the country's first female president she will succeed at the highly popular outgoing president lula da silva rousseff from the ruling party has campaigned on the success of silver who is credited with lifting millions

of people out of poverty artie's one lister reports from sao paulo now where the gap between rich and poor continues to shrink. in brazil there are those who live tucked away behind barbed wire walls. and those who live behind shanty cinder block ones but in this developing nation in 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 mark by a before and after before outgoing president lula da silva took office he forgot the world our people didn't recognize the poor today the rich are angry with me because the poor and as poor as they were before people have opportunity have been saying 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 live eight years in office is a brazil where 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 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 both the familia and helps with food or sometimes i use it to pay a bill in return for both the 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 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 this is what 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 both the familia is responsible for six 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 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 in leicester r t so paulo brazil. now to some other world news this hour at least nineteen worshippers have been killed in a police operation to release hostages from a catholic church in baghdad militants took over the church after attacking the country's stock exchange where they killed two guards they were reportedly

range at a stadium in the northern city of san pedro sula the motive is unclear but police believe the killings are linked to the drugs trade it comes almost two months after gunmen stormed a shoe factory in the same city killing eighteen people. this week global warming skeptics in the u.k. mark to the second anniversary of what they've dubbed climate fool's day the two years two years ago 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 environmental author philip foster insists climate change is a natural thing and man's actions don't have any effect. there is not a particularly dramatic rise in c o two. and anywhere carbon dioxide does not affect the climate i think that's a fundamental statement that is the misconnection that the climate warmest or

alarmists of may if there is climate change of course but that is a natural thing but no it isn't due to 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 is simply. pointless because there is no real connection environmental author philip foster there russia faces a skyrocketing crime rate among youngsters with the world health organization ranking it number one in europe for youth crime experts say one solution is to offer young people activities to keep them busy and safe artie's diab pushkov or some who are barely out of school but already behind bars. they need every please show us on the door where exactly you stabbed him with the knife it was here how many times. i don't remember roughly seven or ten times. in

psychology morale didn't even moral values all this contributes to an extremely high crime rate went up by the activities of religious sex and i'm sorry just say this by all media including television which stories full of blood in russia around five thousand seven hundred miners are currently serving prison terms the majority are either from a one parent family or an orphanage experts say about eighty percent of syria's juvenile crimes take place in the evening or night when children in theory are supposed to be looked after by their parents however in reality many children often end up on the streets searching for their own entertainment. and that's primarily alcohol which is fueling so much of today's youth crime this iteration among. mine is is actually slowly improving the grim statistics among those who are of age to exploit south while many of these young boys hope they'll be able to survive crime
