farmers one of the best farmers in the wall. one months ago job we showed them the opportunities what they would have if they were to come in here there may be an influx of as many as forty thousand bores who'll be able to buy as much land as they want but that idea does not go over well with everyone georgians . 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 won't 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 we did a study and then that's supposed to be this type of food before i remember could it be they produce anything percent of the. neat but this seat eighty years old. hybrid seeds selected the seeds

a fuel contract worth more than three hundred million dollars to supply its mahnaz air base in kyrgyzstan to a corporation that's under investigation by the u.s. congress company won't disclose its ownership but there's speculation the family of the president's back he might be involved the supply deal goes directly against the requests of the country's president roosevelt unbuyable i haven't even director of the center on peace and liberty at the independent institute tells art. it's possible the u.s. turned a blind eye to corrupt deals to keep its air base in the country. u.s. has in the past cut deals for bases and lucrative contracts go to the country involved the cia could be involved it could be there could be a lot of things going on here the congressional investigation is not apparently the report is not going to say there's any wrongdoing but that this is a very suspicious contract. because it was a single source there was no competition and the companies beat out more

established fuel providers so there's a lot of mystery around this so i think anything is possible in this case and it could be a payoff for the u.s. to use the base and of course that was when the old regime was in power certainly this doesn't these types of. contracts whether they're actually illegal is one thing and whether they're corrupt is another thing and i think what we're saying is corruption but i think in the united states the executive branch might have. you know the legal authority to do something like this that they think it's in the u.s. security interest to do what they have to do to keep this vital base and i think you know when you have a war going on the rules bend or new rules are made or whatever to do these things and i think this is a very this is clearly a vital base and this i think is part of the compensation package for kurdistan one way or the other the russians in the u.s. have been competing for influence in this country they have bases not too far from

each other and so i think certainly the u.s. is playing planting other flags in the central asian and caucasus region in around the russian perimeter and so i don't think it's necessarily a coincidence that this base serves two purposes this is certainly a second purpose of the bases to just one more area where the u.s. is trying to seek influence in the near abroad of russia. people across russia have been celebrating the day of national unity while the event has a strong historic origin it's the modern day significance of the holiday that triggers a nationwide reaction artie's peter all of our has been following the celebrations but they have national unity gives people from different political social groups and the ability to post rallies and demonstrations around russia full with their ideas in a public forum well he remarks go we've seen people from all different at least meet the organization raging from people wanting to throw tells the eating too far

your reports on how the past is still affecting the region's present. there's a saying every time slocum knows god created paradise while the devil created know him near him is located in the southern part of the tomsk region difficult to get to and right smack in the middle of a swamp cut off from the rest of the world it's a place renowned as a destination for exiles dating back to the sorry state. in the early nineteenth century the population grew rapidly because of exiles to the point that every fifth resident of tom scandal surrounding areas was in exile. the last bunch will form a wealthy peasant they were cooled oppositionists but in fact these people were just hard working families among those peasants was nicholai 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 thousand 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 river 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 windowpanes of ice labs we had no food only dry bread it was very difficult. while nicholai supplied was because of stalin the former soviet leader himself was banished you know written in one thousand and was exiled for the sixth time and sentenced to four years in siberia he lived in this house but after only thirty nine days. were already who were sent to this

region and it is in this room that the state. 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 counter revolutionary activities were kept in detention interrogated sentenced to death and there is evidence that executions were also performed here. you know or alexina's that ankle was sentenced to ten years of hard labor in one of stalin's gulags and five years in exile. me in that order 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 from were horrific all this right here is one of the prison cells and some of

the. crowd about fifteen to twenty people in this room. for desertion on their feet but despite the tragedies in tomsk sisterly good things did come out of them your many political exiles well educated people who contributed a lot to developing education culture and economy in siberia december set up schools for local children exiled polish rebels develop sausage production businesses here coffee and barber shops. for tomsk citizens the past and the future are inseparable men like alexei look ahead. i still feel the pain but i just have to carry on with life i'm eighty six and i'd like to live till i'm ninety and see what happens next said morey who. while young people look back eager to learn lessons from the past. r t reporting from the tomsk region coming up

to announce in december or host the twenty nine hundred foot ball world cup the c.e.o. of russia's back for the tournament alexei sort of spoke to our teams andrew a farmer ahead of the final vote he tells us about the campaign to land the big event for the first time in the country's history. well joining us today is. the man in charge of. the twentieth. time

thank you if we could start by talking about russia's chances to win this because a lot of people see it as a two horse race between russia and england how do you write russia's chances in. russia is unique selling points if you will first of all we have regarded this as a four horse race for two thousand and eighteen but out of these four horses i think. we have very good chances where very confident. without being overconfident of course we believe we have all it takes to win this bid or unorganized a very good world cup one aspect as which is very important for faith is the legacy and there we have a lot to offer i mean legacy after the world cup in russia would be immense. will influence not only the football development in this country but certainly in the entire region where russia is situated and exported to all our neighbors so there's

another aspect where we feel quite well for is concerned about is the creation of. certainly in england there's a huge english premier league that all the stadiums they use pretty much they have to build full from scratch if russia got the will. and they had to be able to fifteen stating you confident that they would be able to you would be able to film on a regular basis. in the i think it was absolutely guaranteed with and with no white elephants because we've been carefully choosing all the hosts it is by them having either a premier league club or the first division club so there isn't a major club or two playing in each host city. and we think with the state of the art infrastructure of the attendance levels will only grow plus what we have what we have in mind in terms of design of the stadium is temporary tribunes which with which the stadiums will reach

a fee for acquired levels after the world cup some of the attributes will be removed and we'll have the stadiums with the capacity that is needed in a particular region if a city needs twenty five thousand stadium well it will have exactly the nothing nothing more i can say and majestically how will it work for a well cup in russia because you have to live in grass you have to catch a great distance apart similarly have some pages and so change logistically how we found we did not envision a plan where a group match or group matches can be held to one including growth and one in new york city and board. of course this this needs that create planning but through funding we can achieve more convenience for fans and the distances will be within regular limits for fee for right now we the father city that we have is only two

hours by plane from moscow and that's that's not something extraordinary for a fee for. i mean look at the history of the world cup that we have we've had japan and korea we will have brazil we had south africa these are not small countries now you. obviously competing with other beating nations has been a few spots in the press with england has that same advantage i don't think it's a factor and in our beds. i mean that we have been the focus of the british media but. i think it now will subside and people will have other things to speak and the closer we get to the final presentation the more the presentation itself will be the focus we have not been part of any. and the speculative allegations or were scandals or any. traps. and so we don't see any reason why we shouldn't shouldn't be at least in the final

in the british press they did talk about incidents of hooliganism and also racism is that initiated being brought up by fate for atonement you know. these issues are perfectly global but they are not indigenous here they're not typical or characteristic of russia. these are things that are that pose a universal challenge and in football. and of course as a country of one hundred forty five million people we occasionally have outbreaks of negative various negative processes of course. racism hogans are among them we do have very minor sporadic outbreaks but they do not represent a trend and plus russian football does a lot to really confront these challenges recently

a memorandum and racist behavior was adopted by russian football union which we think is a good program to really. tackle this issue. but it's all a matter of whether you bring that up constantly and sort of rub it in or just. position as normal negative breaks in the overall positive landscape and positive development and even if russia doesn't win the spade it's still being a success story for russia if you don't even want to think about it. but at least we. we have tried our best. we. show the world the football where we are what we have achieved what we have to offer what we intend to. construct. and that alone is is a great achievement. but we are very hopeful that there will.

be crossed best of the thank you. wealthy british style site. market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with my stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines kaiser reports. where russia's first free elections. and party goes to the area that used to be.
