attack happened in the first place. when the attack occurred last night in central moscow two men believed to have pounced upon mr caution as he approached his apartment building in the courtyard of his apartment building and brutally assaulted him we're hearing that the two men apparently were standing with flowers waiting for mr cashin to arrive on the scene they then produced what believed to be a blunt object then proceeded to attack him in the brutal assault that's left him very badly bruised in a critical condition in the hospital they made a main point of breaking his fingers and hitting him with this this blunt object as i say. as. terrible attack that is piers to have been very well thought out very well prepared the police are saying that the work working for the commissar newspaper here in moscow was the reason for the attack so writing apparently

because of this this attack in the center of the city give us more details on the writing as you say you mentioned one possible motive as to why he was attacked but one of more motives here as to why the journalist was beaten. well what we're hearing is that the reason mr caution is a is quite famous for his critical work in a critical reporting into youth groups around russia also into the proposed motorway between new motorway between st petersburg and moscow that was going to cut through him key forest now. that motorway the destroy the route through the forest has been me cause of of much discussion much debate and it's caused many flare ups here in russia over the past few months and even resulted in the fallout the complete breakdown in the relationship between president medvedev and the former mer of moscow. eventually resulting mr hughes called being dismissed from his post as mayor of moscow now mr caution is. renowned writer and critic of

the air proposed motorway that is going to cut through the forest just outside of the city here and it's possible that his work in that case was a motive for the attack in the last year beck told another about a look the journalist who was the with a newspaper. he wrote he was brutally beaten again. over his work regarding the forest destruction and now he's ended up as a disabled person due to the brutal assault that he had and we go back to the into the mystic cashen his editor in chief of the commissar newspaper who said that the breaking of his fingers in the manner in which it was done means that suggests that his work was definitely the main cause of the main motivation for the assault on him all right artie's control over there reporting live from the heart of moscow thank you. ongoing deaths in british police custody have

provoked public outrage campaigners are demanding inquiries into suspicious cases and severe punishment for officers involved at a london rally artie's a lore emmet protesters who have lost their loved ones. if you want to be heard they say sometimes it's better to whisper than to shout these people are relying on that as they take to the streets to tell the silent story of loved ones who died in british police custody. is here because of his brother a recovering drug addict part of died in two thousand and eight. stop and search by the police he'd go it was he was being restrained when outside restraint it's it's one of fright and often either side of these arms putting them back and two officers then. hit them in the back and that's really how you know if samantha

brick david's brother dies two years ago mentally ill sean was restrained by four police officers and bundled into a van and in the five minutes it took to get to the police station had stopped breathing and died a short time later there's no ideal outcome as my brother's dead ok nothing is going to bring him back we know that but you know these things that have been carrying for so many years of. mental health people being restrained and losing their lives two years on there's been no inquest into sean's death and the results of investigations are often on the satisfactory this which it shows in tomlinson being knocked down by a police officer cheering last year's g twenty riots he later died no conviction was brought against the officer responsible this protest aims to give a voice to the voiceless are the first majority of those who died police custody i

belong to that class of have nots the marginalized often from top in a city areas more than half of them had already been involved with mental health services but despite more than four hundred deaths either in or directly following police custody in the last ten years no. police officer has ever been convicted. on average one person a week dies as a result of contact with the police according to the independent police complaints commission and that's no seven counting deaths in prison immigration centers and mental institutions police officers don't just commit other minor crimes where they commit the crime of murder. and that's the main reason people are going to tell everybody you know that this is going. to do something about if there are human rights abuses in iran we can. complain about human rights abuses happen in britain and the sense that the silence. that's worth shouting about these

administration created in terms of u.s. image around the world the united states cannot continue to lecture all the other countries in the world about democracy and human rights and freedom and at the same time have as its principal image that of torturing torture incorporated because bush and cheney and rumsfeld not only invaded afghanistan invaded iraq they detained tens of thousands of people they said they weren't liable to be held under the geneva conventions they were they were tortured they were taken to other countries the secret rendition places in other words the image of the united states was one of torture the opposite of freedom or democracy and so now the obama administration has subjected the united states to a review a universal policy review and the rest of the world is taking aim at the united states and highlighting its flaws well the formal position of the conservatives is that the united states can only be the judge it can never be judged that somehow it's superior to the people of cuba or venezuela or those countries that seek to be

a close up series as we continue to explore what russia has to offer. this week we travel to the tomsk region it's famous for the variety of natural treasures that have been preserved for generations deep forests and clean lakes offer the finest of siberian nature. are silly or enjoy the pleasures of the wilderness. the times square in southwestern siberia has long been known to be rich in oil and gas and the local economy has been linked with oil and gas and other related industries for quite some time but the local economy has a new growing and developing sector and that involves the collection the gathering of the processing of while growing natural products such as berries mushrooms and pine nuts there are some companies that do invest in the processing of these products and was very interesting here is that this is really growing in the wild

so people here could just go to the forests and go gather that themselves and the results they get of course depends on how much they gather i am in the heart of what really is the perfect example of that lush greenery of that rich forestry that make up such an abundant natural resource for the toms it has over a million hectares of agricultural land and more than half the territory is covered with forest. people. families children young people. can collect for your own consumption or you can sell them at a good price and there are people. it's estimated that picking and processing different kinds of wild produce provides an income for as many as one hundred fifty thousand local inhabitants those who gather can sell them to companies that process them like this one. is the first stage with her sister to get all kinds of gathered a special stations where people bring them from there is

a huge potential here which needs to be. as wild mushrooms and a wide variety of berries are there for the picking up almost ninety percent of what's picked is processed to the death of our company processes. we store frozen berries in industrial facilities and process them into different kinds of jams from a taste of the sweet fruits of the wild to taste of the rough side of the siberian wilderness. we patrol the surrounding forests the family here is quite diverse you can spot l. experience links and sables in wintry moods but chasing them and skis as for bears they can only be hunted in their dad's winter the rangers spend a month at a time in the thick of the forest and in order to survive while they're there hunting for food has become part of their daily routine no bears this time but there was certainly no shortage of birds. would come in urban people are just not

suited to all this it takes no one animals habits in being a good child to be a successful hunter well i'm no good at either of those so i tried my hand at fishing instead it didn't take us very long to experience the extreme conditions the siberian wilderness throws your way but if you know how to work with nature and to work hard at your survival you'll find that it has plenty to offer. for the business news with you. hello and welcome time to get the latest from the world of business ukraine is rapidly regaining the trust of international finance agencies says the i.m.f. all weather and i.m.f. commission which is visiting the country is still to make a decision on giving its second tranche of a certain billion dollar loan. resuscitating and i

mean this was a victory which is main priority when he became ukraine's president less than a year on experts say this goal has been somewhat successful in twenty two and the country has seen a six percent growth in g.d.p. compared with the disastrous decline last year and this came partially due to less spending on imported natural resources the. successful to the crisis. to the gas price to mr. price. but despite the positive trends key of still seems to be relying on the fifteen billion dollar loan from the international monetary fund borrow two years ago by the previous administration on the victory. the funds delegation has

a right to kiev to assess whether the new government is fulfilling the loans obligations some of which are deeply unpopular among the people. see some progress . in two thousand and eight and two thousand. prices for. fifty percent which was very negative for. another seeking point dispensing reform namely raising the pension age which is required by the i.m.f. but not favored by the general population but is it all worth the effort economists believe that ukraine does not require more funding badly enough and the whole force is more about the country's image problem. russian. bank. so the government

doesn't march from the i.m.f. but who could not on my knees important to signal the government is doing the right since the loan is split in several crunchers and should this one go ahead it will become the second part of the loan and will amount to a little over one billion u.s. dollars the delegation says it will reveal its verdict no earlier than november the fifteenth experts have little doubt that this time the i.m.f. delegation will say yes to another tragedy of money for ukraine the question is whether they will be as optimistic the next time inspectors come to kiev in february twenty levon russia for business today from key of ukraine let's call cover innovation project has drawn attention to the large number of russian high tech companies already in existence and their head of investment company are months capitals could help create many more. to this first project russia tried
