relations between moscow and they take the stand. he. asked to meet the russian president on foreign minister to discuss a new strategy for global security russia and nato and russia currently stepping up . gratian. defense systems in europe and also in conventional arms control and today still sorry i'm sure it's all good gracious work the upcoming russian nato summit which is due to take place in least one of. the coming months to may tells position on missile defense systems in europe and also the new blueprint neda's blueprint for a new strategy of the twenty first century to russia's. security interests and concerns

now as far as the missile defense shield in europe is concerned what russia wants to know is how is it going to be integrated into the new system as a mere observer or a hands on the dishpan in that system in the whole throw says from its construction to activation we know that previous plans by the us administration on to the president george w. bush had seriousness sport relations with russia but after president obama scrapped those plans now several countries been saying in particular germany just recently that russia must be integrated into the new system into the new show. at the moment nato and russia are assessing common threats and challenges of the twenty first century and this document is expected to be ready by the time the example summit takes place at least now another important issue on today's agenda is again

a stern nato desperately needs russia's help in the war in afghanistan blossom says visit comes on the heels of that there was successful ration care adult with the help of russia's intelligence agencies for drugs to see for trace would destroy it would have between afghanistan and pakistan and trucks would some two hundred medium. the russians actually the country suffers most stuff from my trucks produced a mechanic most still have got to start with ends up in russia and the new russian foreign minister said on monday that russia under no circumstances go to sunday school just afghanistan and such since the state was willing to take part in the oath gracious like the one they were the last week ends against drug trafficking from the canister currently mosco is russia's educating afghan intelligence officers and its unit. the city's oh so it has recently provided the brushwood for

military supplies to afghanistan so coke ration continues on today's talks perhaps a likely to become an eyes great before the sides see the war atop the discussions in these. it's interesting that just yesterday night shortly after his arrival in most major sceptic general. on his page in facebook time has come for a fresh start in nato russian relations the clear message to the russian people he says is that nato does not see russia as an enemy but as a pawn no strategic importance together we can make the world safe on the basis of trust and confidence andras what will still no one sees that this blueprint indeed includes russia as nato scott not and it was just pushing for more than just words from nato. yes you mention their cooperation a lot they attach to it i mean with russia and nato working together on so many

issues also analysts saying about how the future now looks for them both. full of course nato and russia realize that there are certain disagreements divides on several issues but what is important that they now seem to be ready to discuss those. issues together the open debate nato and russia have been slowly recovering our. military challenges military invasion itself the set you know this two thousand and eight and actually these upcoming summit will be the first time that the sides sit together at the same table for talks up to the van so the two thousand and eight in georgia sell the said well another primary source of tension says i was ready. to deploy missile defense system in eastern europe too close to russia's borders russia had strongly opposed those plans and russia's stance on it has been that once money shoot is another month so. so it is more likely that

russia will continue with its. entities. and it wants to. keep asking hard questions tonight where exactly is the. most. trying to set. the region a very. chaotic thanks so much indeed for that. well to the us now where voting in mid-term elections has come to an end within the last hour and despite a loss of seats the democrats have retained a majority in the senate the republicans have won control of the house of representatives the congress divided between the two parties it would make it much harder for president obama to go forward with his legislative agenda but many voters have other concerns and worried about the corporate bankrolling

a. vast amounts of campaign cash was poured into these elections a spokesman for the u.s. green party says the runaway spending is detrimental to the country's political system. of the important thing to point out is that that money comes from corporations and corporate money has poisoned our democracy but the real problem is an election system that is rigged against us in several ways there are state laws regarding ballot access that democrats and republicans have passed together to privilege themselves to privilege their own candidates while hindering the ability of other parties and independents to participate in the democratic process we need to get those laws overturned and we need to make the us a multi-party democracy the only real democracy is a multi-party democracy well with political difficulties in sight for getting

legislation through former congressman thomas andrews says it will make it even harder for washington to solve its pressing economic problems. there are a lot of things that need to be done in this country that are not being done unfortunately the script in this election is is number one we haven't seen the change in the economic prospects of this country change enough with a nine point six percent unemployment rate nationally and in some of these very competitive districts double digit unemployment rates and of course the deficit has continued to increase as the economy has continued to slide so what you have is people who are taking advantage of that very dire situation and saying it's the politicians in washington who are spending like drunken sailors and causing this economic collapse and we need to change fundamentally the decision makers in washington d.c. the problem that we're going to face is that these candidates who are now being elected who have been running on the basis of this very very high octane rhetoric

and all these negative ads are not going to be in a position or feel that they're going to be comfortable compromising and engaging in the kind of give and take that you need in order to make a government work people are anxious they're nervous they want to see a media change what they don't want to see is gridlock and i'm afraid that one of the consequences of this election will be gridlock in washington and i think that will translate into a pox on everyone both parties houses if washington can't step up and get some things get some things done once the election smoke is cleared here in the nation's capital. from los angeles their former congressman talking to us from washington. well still ahead fighting for survival and the high. cost of themselves even if it means breaking the door. this week has been the bloodiest in iraq for months at least seventy six people have been killed and two hundred wounded in a series of attacks in mainly shia neighborhoods in baghdad the blast came just two

days off the militants took a christian congregation hostage even the. the eight dead total u.s. pullout showed you the end of next year when iraqis say they feel abandoned escalating violence but some are losing more than protection sunni praised by u.s. for its help providing security is now forming back into the hands of local warlords and al-qaeda policy reports. there is still a force to be reckoned with tens of thousands of sunni muslims angry at the shiite iraqi government known as the sons of iraq four years ago they were won over by american dollars to fight al qaeda one of the strains they live in the neighborhoods in which they keep watch. we did a great service to iraq some were members were working with the terrorists before they joined us and they give us information about the armed groups but despite attempts by the iraqi government to disarm them in communities like this they

continue to patrol the streets because they insist iraqi soldiers just can't keep the peace. security forces sometimes just turn a blind eye to what's going on there's lots of he rights violations and there aren't enough human rights organizations defend and protect people. but all these paramilitary groups upholding the rule of law or are some of their activities questionable as suggested in the four hundred thousand iraq documents released by wiki leaks in one account her sons of iraq leader is said to be responsible for the murder of innocent civilians conducting insurgent activities under the guise of a sons of iraq leader extortion and rape. they are everything has a positive and a negative some leaders use their position for settling trouble scores stockpiling weapons making money and killing innocent civilians but the majority brought stability. but that majority also feels abandoned by an america which armed trained

and paid them and despite big promises less than half of the ninety thousand strong force has been given work or absorbed into iraqi security forces this man is one of the few who has but he's afraid to reveal his identity. to talk after the americans were finished with his groups after iraq was secure they no longer supported us especially when the iraqi government charged our leaders with crimes a lot of the leaders have lost trust in the american and iraqi government and are afraid that by working for them they might face charges and or assassination. iraqi security officials say hundreds of sons of iraq members have returned to al qaeda and that many of the thousands now in the iraqi government payroll secretly aid the insurgency for observers like honeyed deal iraqi security forces are running a losing race to keep up to speed to either integrate the groups or to be able to

secure iraq without them and i think of how that does not mean that the training given by the u.s. was not complete and it never will be because america wants iraqis to keep beating them they don't want to rock to build a strong army and that way they can justify staying in the country and making sure iraq is never strong enough to control the region although. in army bases like those iraqi federal police are trained in intelligence the tactical side exploitation and medical anything like that they do patrols counter i see is that for many iraqis what the americans left behind was destruction and devastation it will take a lot for being to rebuild the words of the minds. armed and dangerous these paramilitary groups struggle to find a place for themselves leading some observers to warn that while they might have been used for short term military gains in the end they could be the roadblocks to peace policy r.t.e. baghdad. brazil. new presidents do has promised to follow the path of popular

predecessor by making the fight against poverty her number one priority despite the huge strides made in recent times many remain trapped by their circumstances people struggling to find work in cities and coming up with their own ways to survive and feed their families in this to reports just a simple life tending your own garden. growing your own food it's a simple life worth fighting for even if you've built it illegally six times they've tried to kick us off and together with the church and with some politicians we've been able to appeal standing your ground because another life one you've worked to escape is always in sight not far from where you toil these are the favelas they are the slums in brazil it's the way the majority of the poor live in this country and where here are just a stone's throw away on a settlement this is where a group of people now live off the land in a commune as an answer to the poverty and joblessness in the slums brazil is the

largest country in south america and almost half of the farmland is controlled by just one percent of the landowners and there's a lot of activism to a huge social movement in fact behind changing that. misty struggles so brazil can do radical agrarian reform so that we can settle the land and get rid of property pushing to get all poor brazilians like the forty families living here back to the earth after they were pushed off by the world. when the green revolution led by powerful foundations and governments like the us turned farming in the developing world into an expensive and high tech agricultural industry with this revolution huge businesses occupy the land and this has been happening since the one nine hundred fifty s. and they've been kicking small farmers off the land they kick them off and they send them to the city saying that the cities need workers but the cities did. need

all those workers so while the land became a means to produce and export food for the world to consume benefiting the few people who controlled it. the large landowners the bank owners and the multinational corporations small land workers like these lost their jobs to technology or lost their land going into debt trying to compete and were left to starve or today it is very much an oppressor capitalism is becoming a monster because wherever the market or product is the principal focus everything or everyone else and that excluded but everyone's included here and their own collective socialist solution a model of their dream for brazil. think that we want wealth distribution for the poor and the workers we want land distribution the green revolution of their own. a simple life worth fighting for lauren lyster r t so paulo brazil. some well news in brief. greece has suspended all mail and package delivery is abroad

quality it's a beautiful car but i wanted to make it more powerful originally it only had seventy five horsepower. so we know the story of this car and what it used to be the main difference after all the modifications is this not your typical vulgar engine. so let's see what i can do. clearly the engineers behind these russian muscle cars haven't worked in vain they're part of moscow's elite motor engineering university that created futuristic concept cars and placed its designers throughout the world's top car companies but the dreams of these engineers to race haven't so far crossed the starting line not that they want to hide their creations away we even would like to invite people to come here to show them everything we've been doing and tell them all about it. dre
