my from our headquarters in central moscow you're watching r t with me and he said now way it's four pm here in the russian capital two pm in berlin and debate is raging in germany over a t.v. show which aims to expose possible internet pedophiles by secretly filming their meetings with decoys posing as victims but critics including the country's justice minister claim the program flouts the law in pursuit of better ratings but creators claim they have to resort to such methods as the last fall sort in tackling internet predators r t s sarah ferguson has more. it's every parent's nightmare their child is being lured by someone they met on the internet this girl is pretending to be thirteen years old the man at the table is in his sixty's they've been conversing online for weeks hello my little girl friend it is you isn't it yes if i'm a little kiss and your on are wet is the kisko you tell me i'm shy.

the back of your neck may be ok but perhaps that might turn you on that later is actually an undercover journalist and it turns out the man works for a children's charity he is completely unaware that the meeting is being secretly filmed as part of the german t.v. show a cool tattled internet and it's exposing the danger is a sexual predator is online. in the very beginning we expected it expected. to have a very specific. person to be maj and you know what you usually magine as a sexual predator you know the guy with the glasses and you know the guy but we've met people from all kinds of society those who praise the show say that the authorities should have been informed straight away especially as in this case the man worked with children and the shay's designed big ratings is their primary

motivation the people who took the video clip took the clip in may and broadcast it in october now and in between there was no information for any. investigative. officials or police not for the employee employer as well but the producers argued that the reason for having to keep the identity of the men they film secret is due to a major leap hole in the law. chatting on the internet with a child even about cirqus is almost never considered a crime but it is left very unclear what exactly constitutes a criminal action. so kingly under current law unless there is an actual physical assault there's not much that can be done and it's an international problem with many experts openly acknowledging that guidelines are in desperate need of clarification instead agreeing is not anything nomen and and as

a number of children go. online grays say it is a danger and the scariest part is that right now there's not much the police can do to protect them it seems shaders how often within minutes of going into an online chat rain praising as a young girl six should have found. if we can succeed with the goal of changing the law making the approach of mine online decided. stiction we can avoid those people being trees and little children. see me nick live from the russian capital you're with our t.v. and still had free lives our america has this allusion to hispanic voters will be why the midterm elections have left the fastest growing minority group in the us really betrayed by both parties so. the rusher is celebrating national unity day a holiday with this story called backroads did loused people to put forward

political ideas and social idea is at a public forum. georgia plans to revamp its elling agricultural industry by inviting new farmers from south africa bores are a minority there and the georgian government believes they would find better opportunities far from home and bring investment and new ideas but local farmers fear drastic measures will see them plow off plowed off i should say their own land . has more. three years of land but his family barely scrapes by orthogonal odds and lives on potato soup all year round one of many farmers struggling to survive in georgia though he has plenty of land he cannot afford to grow anything on it. most the fuel for the tractor is too expensive the pension i get is forty five years dollars most of this goes towards my medication actually by

that i hardly have anything left over. trish what or has a heart condition but still works the land to zing straining his health over hunger his neighbor a maas is hardly any better off with only meters but he said that it would they gave his american seeds a couple of years ago but they failed to thrive we hardly got any harvest and i know most of the people in my village are struggling with it about the georgian government has introduced a policy it says will turn all this around it's encouraging huge numbers of south african farmers to come here bringing fresh ideas and expertise but the plans have been met with stiff opposition in the fields of agriculture and politics alike to go to resources with our government is conducting a policy of betrayal of their own country our farmers will be forced to abandon their land because the cannot afford to farm it they don't produce enough to sustain themselves let alone anything to make a profit. the government appears to be ploughing alone for on this issue but it's

shrugged off all criticism and believes the scheme will revive an ailing industry. going to culture. best farmers one of the best in the wall. the opportunities for. here there may be an influx of as many as forty thousand boers who'll be able to buy as much land as they want but their idea does not go over well with everyone georgian farmers say they feel they're being pushed out of their land by their own government and south african boers don't know what to expect from the land or people and efforts to resolve that will be easy given the distances between the two countries currently south african farmers knowledge about agriculture in their potential new home is sketchy at best they read industry. that's supposed to be this type of food before i remember correctly they produce

only three percent of the. meat but this seat is eighty years old. for hybrid seeds selected the seeds the first south african farmers are expected to arrive next year and once that happens george and farmers who may lose the land that feeds them say their future looks bleak if you go to georgia. you can always go to our website our to dot com for plenty of other stories catching people's eyes right now through online it's time to invest in soviet bangers once upgraded many of today's super cars along for their money slip into gear and check them out at our dot com also happy birthday for the international space station mankind's home away from home we're celebrating ten years of constant service outside the earth's atmosphere. more on the ambitious engineering project our.

broach healthy living to nationalise groups though the biggest rally that has been going on today involves the pro kremlin youth group nasheed around twenty thousand of them members marching in central moscow along the riverbank so they say this is a day when you're really allowed to put forward any different idea and get it out there in a public forum the business become a holiday of marching really but it's a new holiday and there's a historic background to it remind us about that tell us more. but certainly does the story goes back as far as sixteen twelve during the soviet union the seventh is also a holiday was around was to celebrate the bolshevik revolution now in more recent times this is become as they say the national day of unity since two thousand and five would be seeing some some activities taking place today some just behind me in the kremlin did really look at bringing russia's past hope to get that we. it's presence we've seen the patriarch kirill behaves over the whole to doc's russian

orthodox church he unveiled a and i called into the st nicholas the wood to work who could it be it be hidden away during the soviet times it's now being unveiled on one of the kremlin towers we've also see it touching reviewed in between members of the people who fought on both sides of the russian civil war so russia emigres from the whites army who feel they left the country under the color of the soviet union times of come but to the country to meet relatives of people who fought in the red army at that time so people putting forward political and social ideas and also bringing together russia's past with the present what about around there peter all over following you need a for us live in the russian capital thanks peter. russia's state duma its foreign affairs committee has recalled his decision to ratify the new strategic arms reduction treaty with the u.s. that's in order to look into the twenty six amendments to the original version made

by the american senate the deal signed by president obama and medvedev in april would see both country's nuclear arsenal slashed by a third but the midterm elections have trimmed the democrats' majority in the senate meaning the deal could face stiffer opposition from republicans the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton believes the senate still has enough votes to pass the deal by the end of the year but we are gaylor from the russian federation council says the current quote resat between the two countries will not be affected the full interview gave our spotlight program is coming up next hour here on our t.v. but here's a preview. reset is not in danger we managed to create some substance for the reset we are working hard on the providing military transit and civilian transit to afghanistan through the russian territory we are fighting together against drug trafficking in afghanistan so we are doing a lot and i think it will help democrats and those responsible republicans who are

still present in the senate and in the house of representatives to move forward in the recent. well it won't be only the so-called start treaty facing difficulties now the republicans have taken the house of representatives the democrats will have to be more susceptible on a number of fronts to move policies forward one of the top priorities is the country's controversial immigration law with the spanish population steadily growing both parties have targeted latinos in their campaigning. sneaking across our border putting americans jobs at risk according to campaign ads like these there's a war brewing in america illegal immigrants are the enemy and life as you know it is the target for reacting to a growing anti immigration mood in the country republicans are stepping up their war on illegal immigration by stoking voters' fears but when the so-called enemy is also one of the fastest growing voting blocks in america politicians are trying to pander to latinos hoping their other voters aren't looking like nevada republican

sharron angle if we have been in her about face attempt to reach out to latinos actually ended up offending them i don't know that all of your life. you are asian in arizona senator john mccain had been known as an advocate for humane immigration reform but in the past year he has embraced the right wing attack on illegal immigration drug and human smuggling home invasions murders and complete the dang things you know work this time senator if you want to pass. for many latinos it was simply another poignant example of politicians abandoning them democrats also use managed language that says argue latino voters if you lean i think going to they were not going to be an increase in deportations and a lack of progress on immigration reform has many questioning the motives of democrats as well but the hypocrisy of us politicians saying one thing but doing

another is it lost on wrong is a community organizer although we might have been for two thousand may what the promises of hope and change i think that people have seen and in reality the conditions of actually worsen are people feeling abandoned and demonized by the politicians they elected latinos are growing disillusioned about politics in general here we have what we call a two party dictatorship it's an electorate dictatorship there really is. it's a two headed beast that represents the same group latino voters are growing in numbers and whether politicians like it or not they'll soon be forced to get the message well they're going to care going to after care because we represent for example specifically in california almost twenty one percent of the electorate it is this hypocrisy by the politicians that is both a source of frustration for latino voters and inspiration to rise up and stand up against the forces that have oppressed them after all revolution and social

mobilization is in the blood of this growing population of americans in los angeles . r t. let's have a look now at some world news in brief for you this hour the australian airline quantum grounded all of its airbus a three eighty super jumbos after one of them was forced to make an emergency landing the plane touched down safely in singapore after an engine failure shortly after takeoff passengers reported hearing a blast but the company denies there was any explosion parts of the engine were found in indonesia the plane was carrying four hundred fifty people no one was injured. is more bad news for haiti as tropical storm tomas heads towards the island the country's been struggling to stem an outbreak of cholera but the worsening weather could complicate matters the storm may trigger floods that could spread the epidemic which has already claimed over four hundred lives over a million people remain in camps and emergency shelter following january devastating earthquake which left much of the islands in ruins. next they are to

there were more exiles decemberists who rose up against the tsar in one hundred twenty five then russia's pre-revolutionary political party the bolsheviks and i case an iraq nix. in the early nineteenth century the population grew rapidly because of exiles to the point that every fifth the residents of tom scandal surrounding areas was in exile. the last batch will form a wealthy peasant they were cooled oppositionists but in fact these people were just hard working farmers among those peasants was nikolai gook during stalin's time forced collective farming was introduced many landowning families lost their properties and were deported to siberia his family was sent here in one nine hundred thirty one he was just four years old. in the work of your we were transported by horse drawn carriage then by railway then locked on a boat down the abra. at the destination there was nothing except burnt up forest

we had to build barks of board and earth to live in when it got cold we made window panes of ice labs we had no food only dry bread the word it was very difficult. while nicholai supplied was because of stalin the former soviet leader himself was bad. you know written in one thousand nine hundred twelve stalin was exiled for the sixth time and sentenced to four years in siberia he lived in this house but after only thirty nine days he escaped. from this house and excessive family were already exiles who were sent to this region and it is in this state and it was here in this bed that stalin had actually slept. staal is a riot he lives on in tomsk preserved in this investigative prison museum until the one nine hundred forty s. this is a story building houses the tomsk pretrial detention center and was also headquarters of the people's commissariat for internal affairs or n.k.v.d.

. here people charged with council revolutionary activities were kept in detention interrogated sentenced to death and there is evidence that executions were also performed here. you know what. i like sinister ankle was sentenced to ten years of hard labor in one of stalin's gulags and five years in exile. i was tried for treason against the motherland i told him it wasn't against the motherland it was against the government you know the cases and charges they made up for me were horrific well this right here is one of the prison cells and some of the. crap about fifteen to twenty people in this room. for desertion on their feet but despite the tragedies in tomsk sister e good things did come out of them you love many political exiles well educated people who contributed a lot to developing education culture and economy in siberia december set up

hello time to bring you the latest business update the federal reserve is to pump six hundred billion dollars into the u.s. as part of a fresh stimulus package to boost the country's economy that's amounts to seventy five billion dollars a month in a second round of quantitative easing the u.s. central bank will purchase long term view us bonds by printing billions of dollars critics say a liquid to inflow will lead to inflation something the fed denies privet stimulus measures of more than a trillion dollars didn't have this effect the world's largest economy grew at an annual rate of two percent until september but this wasn't enough to significantly

cut high unemployment the interest rate has been left to his story quote close to zero. the world bank has cut its forecast of russia's g.d.p. growth for the next three years the banks say russia has achieved a modest recovery but there are fears of a further slowdown my colleague charlotte lamas folly ask the world bank's chief economist for russia shellcode book at h about the key drivers for the country's economy. i think what is actually happening in the past few months is that investment has been back and much of the growth was actually led more by investments and the kind of a cyclical rebound of restocking of inventories but that's going to cyclical part i think the good news is that we also see consumption gathering steam and. reflects basically fundamental factors driving consumption such as the fact that. really incomes are growing again for the crisis unemployment is lower than in feared

certainly and then in many other western countries and remember russian consumer is not particularly indebted compared to many western countries so there's a lot more credit i think that can be taken on by the russian consumer i think that all these factors are going to continue. providing the winds in the sale of the russian consumption and growth in the next six to twelve months so we expect to grow this year to be about four point two percent and then solidified next year to about four and a half percent largely driven by gains in consumption polt also mentions as a temporary increase in poverty levels here in russia all through the drought that was last summer now we are how diverse government is on a lot to try and help support the employment in russia mana guard so what's the overall tendency in regards to employment unemployment is is not where one would want it to see but it's lower than fear and lower than in some other countries. and

hopefully over the next couple of years with the continuation of growth it would begin to come for a bit down as far as the parties concerned which is closely correlated with employment unemployment in russia because the household savings are quite limited in this country. russia is mean actually made remarkable gains in poverty reduction over the past ten years and certainly up to up to the crisis. rate fell from about a quarter of the population down to about percent thirteen. center so there was a temporary uptick in crisis of course but now it's a trend that we believe is going to continue with the. continuation of recovery and growth in medium term now we have had a lot of talk about modernizing russia's economy and our attempts of efforts to build the so-called silicon valley are in scope for what is your opinion on this well this is probably the most difficult challenge they versification of the russian economy and. there's no magic bullet there and i think so clearly creating

some of these high tech clusters you know may help especially in specific areas where they develop and so on so forth i would emphasize that it's really going to be an error a different kind of measures and policies that i think will have to be put in place in order to unlock that creative potential of russian businesses and entrepreneurs and sometimes the devil is in the details it's for example innovation why is it that russia has so many very bright engineers and innovative and creative. grassroots. thinkers if you like and yet there is a very. small number of patents in russia compared to many other countries i think some think. maybe holding back the creative energy of russian business and it could be a combination of things could be intellectual property rights and could be. additional legal wriggled through barriers so one has to look at

a whole area of things that holds back russia's innovation competitive spirit and and business development overall and you know some of these quotes this made me actually do some good but i think one needs to go and look far beyond. time to tell them about some numbers european stock markets posting games on thursday rallying on the announcement miners are taking the lead has jumped one point eight percent shares of nearly eleven. two point six percent after posting results. and here in russia the markets i get to react to the new u.s. stimulus package as they are closed for two days of national holidays the bosses for their mixed at the end of wednesday's session with investors where ial making any big moves most of the main players were down on the r.t.s. and sept was burbank which closed zero point five percent. the russian stock markets have been in this three day week shortened by.
