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 for discipline our government is conducting a policy of betrayal of their own. in country are farmers will be forced to abandon their land because the kind of afford to farm it they don't produce enough to sustain themselves let alone anything to make a profit. the government appears to be plowing alone far on this issue but it's shrugged off all criticism and believes the scheme will revive an ailing industry or sarwari well. a culture. based farmers one of the best farmers in the wall. one months ago we showed them the opportunities what they would have if they would comment 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 that 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 if i remember correctly they produce our meat in percent of the. meat but this seat is eight years old but i never heard of the hybrid seeds selected with the seeds the first south african farmers are expected to arrive next year and once that happens georgian farmers who may lose the land that feeds them say their future looks bleak it even goes kartini ga. remember you can always check

of our reporting on the you need to unity day celebrations in russia. turning to the u.s. now president obama says he hopes the country and the senate will approve the new strategic arms reduction treaty with russia by the end of the year speaking at a cabinet meeting he said it would confirm the u.s. is serious about reducing nuclear arsenal it's because this comes after russia's state duma foreign affairs committee recalled its decision to ratify the deal moscow says the said it made twenty six amendments to the original version side in april by presidents medvedev and obama among them or cause a stipulating the treaty doesn't cover deployment of a u.s. missile defense system or ballistic missiles with conventional warheads gave off from the russian federation council says the current reset between the two countries will not be affected the full interview he gave to our spotlight program is coming up later but here's a sneak peek. the reset is not in danger we managed to create some substance for the reset but 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 to to move forward in the reset. well it won't just be the start treaty facing difficulties now that the republicans have taken the house of representatives the democrats will have to be more compromising on a number of fronts to move policies forward according to analysts one of the top priorities is the country's controversial immigration law with hispanic population steadily growing there they've become a prime target in campaign. 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 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 here in arizona senator john mccain has 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 invasion murder and complete the dang fence into work this time senator if you want to pass.

for many latinos it was simply another poignant example of politicians abandoning them democrats also used banish language that says argue latino voters if you lean i think on time they were not reported. 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 a ford in two thousand may with 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 addict or dictatorship really it's a two headed beast that represents the same you need us group latino voters are growing in numbers and whether politicians like it or not they'll soon be forced to

get the message. well there are going to care you're 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. . take a look now at some other stories making headlines across the globe it's been revealed that a intercepted in dubai last week was disarmed just seventeen minutes before it was time to explode that's according to the french interior minister there's been no confirmation yet from the u.s. and the u.k. the statement comes in the middle of an investigation into the terror plot to mail packages were discovered on cargo planes in dubai and england on route to the u.s.

hello and welcome to the business news russia aims to become one of the top ten high tech countries by two thousand to fifteen how the head of a corporation explains. let me give an example. silicone electronics. which is produced not from silicone we all speak of all of the silicon valley and that's something which is very interesting. there is the new generation of electronics which may be produced from not silicon from plastic. and that is something which of the unique was civility and we pick the best partner should the company place to project and this company will become a partner in building conversion a new factory which will produce the the computer made from plastic actually made

from the same materials which of the mortal made from and the potential of the cost reduction in this sector of electronic industry is. at the start of. existence you talked about a three billion euro hundred ninety billion rouble a year industry at least you said can we now start to raise that estimate we will be successes at the start and currently would do care of the final target in the final key which is the thirty billion euro none of their production in russia. and you don't want to be don't have different than one hundred billion rubles and what did we achieve by now from the moment you just mention i know we already have more than ninety projects in total investment in this project which will be made by me is more than four billion dollar and what is it especially important in there is

that we was able to attract some six billion dollars of private queer investment together in a line with before on a personal investment that's something which proves that we are not just spending money for nothing we here partner who spend their own money and even with a big of reports. when will russia produce a startup as famous as google or instead it takes minimal three five seven or ten years to develop a company from the garage like hewlett packard or microsoft or the wallpapers business i believe that we are already a lot on the garish the age but we're not yet on the stage of facebook and google you said forty million russians think you are a thief why do they think that does it upset you. well that's that's a long story i believe that much more than you just mentioned and the reason is very simple you for coming back to the privatization history of the reason is that . privatization is russia in the russia was unfair it was not fair.

but it was something which was needed to the country and if ever. unfortunately common the situation but i have to do it again i will do this or. russia's minister of finance has effectively banned the national reserve fund from buying the bonds of irish all spanish governments investors are steering clear of the bonds of five countries which bailed out their troubled banking sectors on thursday irish jumps to their highest in the euro zone's historic about seven point four percent. the federal reserve is to pump six hundred billion dollars into the u.s.'s part of a fresh stimulus package to boost the country's economy this monstrous seventy five billion dollars a month in a second round of quantitative easing the u.s. central bank will purchase long term goals bonds by printing billions of dollars federal reserve's decision pushed hero to its highest levels to the dollar so as

generate their old world has taken a different strategy the european central bank left its benchmark interest rate unchanged at a record low but should be achieved jonquil cliche so that the underlying motive for a very positive. the world bank has cut its forecast of russia's g.d.p. growth for the next three years the bank's analysts say russia has achieved a modest recovery but there are fears of a further slowdown the world bank's chief economist for russia shell couple get if spoke to business r.t. 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 in the kind of a cyclical rebound of restocking of inventories but that's going to cyclical part but i think the good news is that we also see consumption gathering steam and.

reflects basically fundamental factors driving consumption searches the fact that. real incomes are growing again after the crisis in employment is lower than. they feared certainly and then in many other western countries and remember russian consumer is not particularly indebted compared to many western countries so there is a lot more credit rating that can be taken on by the russian consumer i think that all these factors are going to continue. providing the winter 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. time to have a look at some numbers yet stocks are sharply higher day despite think of an expected rise in jobless claims as investors reacted positively to the federal reserve's latest efforts to prop up the sagging economy.
