if you move. from france to. start t.v. dot com. street global security and raising on afghanistan will dominate discussions keep the riots in moscow in a bid to get it made tells the faithful. a bit over barack obama's

democrats results from the u.s. midterm elections gains for republicans but some voters say none of the candidates will drag them out of the troubled economy. groups trained by the u.s. to help build security back into the hands of al qaeda. you're watching our world needs twenty four hours a day our top story now combating international terror beefing up global security and deciding the future of national defense where the key issues russia and nato are to work on during a visit to secretary general to moscow. and meet the russian president and foreign minister on wednesday. has the latest for us now because really what exactly will be doing during this visit and whether relations between moscow and. currently

stand. there is chief will be meeting the president and the foreign minister to discuss a new global security and this visit is a very important cause ill gratian school the crucial often nato summit which will take place at the end of. their nato son to move into the new strategy security strategy of the twenty first century which will include relations but for now it must go on says that peace movement includes its own security concerns in particular in the video and rasmussen that they will discuss nato's invitation to work together on european missile defense the document says that most do russia will figure into the new system but the kremlin wants to know power as any observer who are hands on to sponsor the entire prose says from construction to activation

we know that u.s. plans for a showed in eastern europe on to the former president of the united states had serious new world relations with russia but up to drop the bomb was scrapped the plans last year several countries like germany have been saying that russia must be included in the new show at the moment russia nato are working on a joint document which they dubbed assessment of. main challenges and the main thrust of the twenty first century hopefully the document will be ready by the time russia and nato see the talks and ease but how they would pull the shield today's agenda would be again a step not may so now desperately needs russia's help in afghanistan and rasmussen's visit comes just days after an unprecedented joint local ration russian intelligence officers called nato units and to drop weight on the border with pakistan as a result of that wait several tons of power which would destroy what hundreds of millions of doing up to that the russian foreign ministry so that under no

circumstances is russia sending it to. step against how the mistake is lead to continue but. not all the cities in afghanistan because most still get bridges drugs and up and up so it seems today's top stuff will provide to and not just a relaxed guys great people with a need to see down to more serious business in lisbon on november the point. so one of the corporation going on then with russia and nato working together on so many issues what's the saying about how the future now looks for their relationship. and i'm just saying that most school and made to acknowledge that fundamental differences and disagreements still divide but the difference being is that the full knowledge soon willing to discuss to address those issues to address those issues open to a lot of cheap russia's own security strategy which would probably lead to those

signs that the nato is moving eastwards is one of the main threats to the national security of russia but now there seems to be a certain good in relations between russia and nato relations have been. looming scenes tensions over his military beijing in seoul the search here two years ago it's the first time that such a high level russian president will be meeting nato chief at the same for talks at the same table. two thousand they. said there being some tensions u.s. plans to open into the cells to eastern europe russia has been saying that one man's shoot is another months to a time strongly opposed those plans there's been a study in the u.s. roughly shows that nato is cheap expect there that nato and russia can push a similar reset button on his page on facebook last night when his rival in most

cases wrote time has come for a fresh start. in nato russia believes it can be a message to the russian people he says that that made so does not see russia as an enemy but as a partner also teach it to pull together with. the base. well today the president and the russian foreign minister will be pushing for more than just what the media is cheap. ok keep us updated our reporting live from moscow thank you. well to the us now where president obama's party has lost control of the congress in the midterm elections democrats have managed to retain the majority in the senate but house of representatives is now in the hands of the republicans with 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 they're worried about the corporate banqueting of this

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. 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 all the 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 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 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 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 thomas andrews their former congressman talking to us from washington well still ahead fighting for survival. scilab being forced to fend for themselves even if it means breaking the norm that's in the field. 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 blasts came in just two days of the militants took

a christian congregation. fifty eight dead. the total u.s. pullout should heal for the end of next year when iraqis say both feel abandoned and the escalating violence that some are losing more than protection so. holds by the u.s. for its help security is now for the back of the hands of local warlords al qaeda that is porous their 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 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.

and 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 to defend and protect people. but all these paramilitary groups upholding the rule of law or some of their activities questionable as suggested in the four hundred thousand iraq documents released by wiki leaks in one account has 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 troubles scores stockpiling weapons making money and killing innocent civilians but the majority brought stability that women. 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 or security they no longer supported us especially when the iraqi government charged early theirs with crimes a lot of the leaders have lost trust in the american and iraqi government and are afraid that by working for them for 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 secretly aid the insurgency for observers like hamid 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 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. in army bases like those iraqi federal police are trained in intelligence tactical side exploitation medical anything like that they do patrols connor is that for many iraqis what the americans left behind was destruction and devastation it will take a lot for them to rebuild the wounds of their 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. general. one hundred hour scar a spokesperson for the iraqi ministry of defense told r.t. that the country's forces will be ready for the security situation when american

troops withdraw. it's worth talking about the readiness or not of the iraqi security forces because the number of american troops left in this country is forty nine thousand seven hundred and something as an iraqi i welcome the american withdrawal and i wish that we will be ready by the thirty first of december two thousand and eleven to say goodbye to the americans for good because we will be fully ready to take over. and in fact you can watch the full interview with muhammad our scar in an hour's time here in r.t. . brazil's new president zuma who said has promised to follow the path of a popular predecessor but making the fight against poverty and number one priority despite huge strides made in recent times when he remain trapped by the circumstances people struggling to find work in cities are now coming up with their own ways to survive and feed their families in this to reports just

but don't be too hasty a team of russian car engine has managed to convert two old russian what courses into racecourses. but from what we bought this car for five thousand dollars back in two thousand and three now after all our work it's worth three hundred thousand dollars. the first is this old larger it was rescued by andre and brought here to moscow's auto mechanics institute there it was stripped out given a monstrous engine all the frankenstein treatment needed to create its new look. in car races there are limits to cars in this case i could do whatever i wanted. it's made for drag racing. so there are no limits to its technical characteristics i don't everything i possibly could to this car the second is this old vulgar

soviet car built decades ago it now has a thousand horsepower but it wasn't always like that. it's a beautiful car named the best car of nine hundred fifty seven it's very high quality 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 it can do. before clearly the engineers behind these russian muscle cars haven't worked in vain that part of moscow's elite motor engineering university created feature risk to 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 hurry their creations away yeah i'd like to invite people to come here
