a routine stop and search by the police he was he was being restrained when i say restraint it's it's one. and often either side of him back. to officers. hit him in the back and that's really how. samantha brick david's brother also died 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 he died a short time later there's no ideal outcome as my brother is dead ok nothing is going to bring him back we know that but you know these things that have been carrying food so many years. for no good 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 footage shows ian

tomlinson being knocked down by a police officer during last year's g twenty riots he later died no conviction was brought against the officer responsible for this protest. to give a voice to the voiceless the first majority of those who die in police custody of buildings with loss of have nots the marginalized often from tough 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 of murder all months yourself. 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 not even 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 manslaughter and that's the main reason people are you to tell if we do know that this is going on and asking people to do something about it if there are human rights abuses in iran we keep trying to complain about human rights abuses happen in britain and the sense of the asylums yeah. yeah yeah yeah that's where shouting about these people say but this protest fell on deaf ears the police at downing street refused to take their petition and they had to leave it tied to the railings and very thankful for the crime if you were and that london. you all with all it's see it's good of you to join us today and still ahead later this hour when the judges become the judge we look at how the u.s. was accused i think u.n. of human rights violations plus. it didn't take us very long to experience the extreme conditions the siberian building is thrown straight away but if you know

a priceless recreational area for residents aussies tessa found herself in the heart of the siberian wilderness. the tomsk region 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 can 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 collecting pine cones and forest families come with children with young people do it a lot you can collect for your own consumption or you can sell them at a good price there are people who leave this business. 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 of what processing plant is to get all kinds of gathered a special stations where people bring them there is a huge potential here which needs to be realised pine cones wild mushrooms and a wide variety of berries are there for the picking almost ninety percent of what's baked is processed here the death of our company processes wild berries we store frozen berries 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 phony here is quite diverse you can support alex perry slinks and sables in winter you can hunt moves but chasing them on skis as for bears they can only be hunted in their dance in 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. become an 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. r.t.

reporting from the tomsk region tom now for the business news with you leon. 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. how whether and i.m.f. commission which is that in the country is still to make a decision on giving its second tranche of a fifteen billion dollars loan. resuscitating and economy this was a victory on the court 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 jan 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 economy has successfully passed through the crisis the cheap gas price from russia. to the gas price i minister mr. price which will be a little bit. too close which is one of the last in europe but despite the positive trend skee of still seems to be relying on the fifteen billion dollar loan from the international monetary fund borrowed two years ago by the previous administration under victor usually. the funds delegation has a right to key have to assess whether the new government is fulfilling the loans obligations some of which are deeply unpopular among the people i remember doing nation see some progress. in two thousand and eight in two thousand crean finally has significance to raise

the prices for. last fifty percent which was very negative for the political. region president. another seeking point is spent in 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 fuss is more about the country's image probably needs money to. russian. than. but apart from that the government doesn't much from the i.m.f. but not on the i.m.f. mani's important to signal government is doing right since the loan is split in several tranches 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 twentieth levon. for business today from key of ukraine. computer to make intel's russia is the hub of engineering talent but it lacks people with business skills that's according to the head of intel's operations department. as far as the software development the killers are russia is well over fifty percent of our total well over fifty percent of our total outside of the u.s. population show russia is a very significant for us but we're going to continue to develop our talent here we have about eleven out of forty spanning a lot of different disciplines that the plan is to just really to help support the
