it.

all. story of the week here in our tease buys lies and videotape many georgians feared tbilisi's and a russian paranoia could find them accused of espionage next. two halves are better

than one russian made a pledge to work together to create a fancy is going to do it relies on common threats. obama cold it sure lacking critics say he was just a good obedient but something cash no votes are sure to republicans to victory in this week's u.s. midterm elections. archipelago outraged over he was angered by president medvedev so busy to russia's core alliance which to pay on claims as its own moscow says it will keep investing and its remote region. and the international space station is celebrating ten years of human life in orbit the longest stretch ever spent outside the earth's atmosphere our team needs space it is. watching r.t. coming to you live from moscow i'm marina joshie welcome to the program this week

has seen a new scandal flaring out between russia and georgia as to police he said thirteen people were caught spying for moscow russia claimed the whole story is a political farce and deliberate provocation by the georgian authorities had a nato summit and as our teaser in english to reports from tbilisi the opposition is considering the swoop to be another attack on the government's opponents. for alina this spy scandal was a horrible deja vu her own husband. was thrown into prison for allegedly spying for russia during the two thousand and eight conflict between georgia and south a city or a third and fourth they said some three thousand three hundred pages of data which my husband supposedly sound to russia that's a blatant lie we have presented evidence numerous times that on information with which fact and worked was just his analysis if you look at his case you'll see that it's easy to say that anyone's a spine george or something. the lynas husband was george's envoy to nato he was

named in a documentary just shown on one of george's main channels two as one of the russian spies who didn't get away in fact the film was just part of what seemed to be a spy novel unraveling in a small caucasus country over the past week first the news of the arrests that came suddenly and not from the authorities but through western news source then a week of silence after which the georgian interior ministry made the announcement with much pomp and circumstance aspiring for years a work by the georgian counter intelligence service a mall invaded into russia's chief intelligence directorate so what is this latest spy scandal all about a political farce a desperate plea for attention or simply much ado about nothing moscow says it's a combination of all three and many say it won't do georgia any good mosco reacted

almost immediately the saakashvili regime suffers from some chronic spine area fueled by under russian sentiments in recent years the georgian leadership has resorted to fabricating similar scandals more than once cynically hoping to political divisions inside the country and abroad some analysts believe the whole affair was an attempt to put pressure on georgia's opposition. the regime of circus really does not feel safe and they use any possible to again in in their struggle against a position which still is not consolidated body is getting in power more and more and in georgia the spy story was met with distrust. everything that concerns any information coming from the georgian authorities is highly don't fall and with a healthy dose of irony. this whole affair seemed to be fashioned on the american

spy scandal only it lacked and on the chaplin the sex symbol but apparently the tastes differ at the same time it's an attempt to lead the situation between russia and georgia to another escalation. but wild tbilisi in moscow exchanged verbal blows one woman continues to wait for justice for her and. i'm not afraid but i know that if need be georgian authorities can accuse not only me but any georgian citizen inspiron for any contradiction they donated to right now but when they will they will accuse me of a pretty good who goes court to be lisi georgia. russia received nader's proposal for european missile the fans' joint program when the alliance the secretary general anders fogh rasmussen visited moscow this week the nato chief stressed that the alliance sees russia as a friend and partner and as being essential to regional stability the russian side has stated that the plan should be based on principles of the equal development of

a system that would neutralize common threats and meeting comes ahead of a nato summit in lisbon on the van where the twentieth expert in conflict resolution dimitri kranti told r.t. that a joint russian naval missile the fans project could be a breakthrough for both sides the secretary general is a champion of the joint missile defense or russia's russia's corporation with nato on missile defense he made that statement during his first speech on russia first major speech on any issue. in september last year under the auspices of the carnegie endowment basically you need to realize that no amount of the strategic arms reductions would love a geisha and can transform the russian russia western russia us relationship one nice to have those that teach a collaborative project and it looks like. it is the one thing the silver bullet

the project that king has the potential at least to transform the entire russian western relationship it's a game changer or it was failed to seize appalled that it could be a game breaker. scandalous and hysterical is how russia viewed her as a temporary recall of the japanese ambassador from moscow the reaction of all the president he had of visiting the russian core alliance which tokyo claims for itself and his art is a sign of boyko reports moscow says more visits are planned to promote this is developments in the region. it's a leftover from the second world war old soviet tanks rusting on the sure. but their barrels pointed toward japan there are about to be scrapped from nacho when the visit by the russian president put them at the center of another fiery exchange between russia and japan discovered in the seventeenth century the allens changed hands several times it took the soviet union less than

a month to expel the japanese army from the islands in august of nineteen forty five that prevented the two countries from signing a peace treaty living a door open for japan to claim the arlon sovereignty. sixty five years after their handover the tussle to define the islands national identity still goes on this cross a period here if you years ago when the russian orthodox church opened its parish on the island of she could tan after decades of seeing its population window they are and is now in the midst of a baby boom. we have the highest birth rate in the entire region there are many kids here and parents bring them to be baptized and living standards acquired decent nowadays just a few hundred metres from the church at ikeja my motor is teaching japanese at a local school and here class seven great or sit alongside their parents and many of them getting a job in japan is their best shot at lifting their families out of poverty are classes are very popular and people keep coming here year after year and hippias

sometimes it seems like i am with my family again. this is precisely why the president came here to tell the locals that russia has not forgotten about them and while the regional officials try to paint a pretty picture of who roads and crumbling infrastructure betrayed the island's chronic financial problems. it's an important part of our land we will definitely invest money into the region. and the midst of reach dishing grounds the our lands are a prime spot to buy seafood and opportunity that mitchell made that of didn't miss the. point is it smelt. can i get shot him. while fish and seafood are affordable here everything else costs almost twice as much as on the mainland the locals complained of unreliable supply but as the president noticed one item was always in stock. apparently you don't have any

problems with the supply of i'll call here the president's visit wasn't missed on the japanese side took his foreign minister said the trip heard japanese public sentiment and temporarily recalled its ambassador from moscow more to do it it is extremely regrettable that president made very do visited the cruel islands even though japan had earlier notified russia that there could be a negative impact on bilateral relations his russian counterpart was unmoved. because literally japan's reaction is an acceptable it's our land and russian president was visiting russian territory it was already explained this to our japanese porkers plan to once again an ambiguous new retreat this position however we're not going to take any steps that putin drill ations while the russian officials consider last week's rout over the green mile an unfortunate they stressed that their first priority is to make sure that the people who actually believe on the islands aren't left feeling marooned according to

a two thousand and nine nationwide poll about ninety percent of russians would strongly object to handing the grill audience over to japan but the overwhelming majority of the respondents have never visited this territory and are very likely to do so in the future the audience may be an integrity part of prussia on the map but they cannot make clear and logistically they are still very much a foreign land it's not a boycott r.c. in russia's far east. coming up a little later in the program how to catch a paedophile the creators of a german show say they're helping protect children critics say they are just after high ratings also. i think will be like harry truman it may take twenty years twenty years later i think will be looked upon as maybe a decent president after two years out of the limelight george w. bush publishes his memoirs the president checks out of people have any fond memories of him. at top level police investigation has been launched into

a vicious attack on a russian journalist only a caution a correspondent for the newspaper converse and was brutally beaten near his home and is now in an induced coma with severe injuries police are searching for a suspect as a c.c.t.v. footage was obtained showing two people attacking the journalist the assault has drawn a wide public response with manny rallies in support of caution taking place in moscow russian president has personally commented on the case saying those responsible must be found with the help of the country's best investigators andre vassily of the former editor in chief calmer sense asked questions rioting may have been linked to the brutal assault. which of course the reason for this attack is conscious professional activity he was a popular blog and he was more open and outspoken than in the paper concerned has a certain more reserved style this beating is very similar to the attack on the journalist mco because of which took place

a couple of years ago this mention of his fingers for example so that the person could not write any more there is a horror show element. the midterm elections in the us were a big blow to obama's administration the republicans rode a wave of public frustration to take the house of representatives unlike in previous elections there was no one had to how much big business could bankroll parties but critics say money decided the outcome not the american voter this was a special election year in the. it was for the first time corporations were allowed to funnel as much money as they wanted into political campaigns and they definitely did not miss out on the chance to buy influence on capitol hill we've come to take our government and by big business is pumped hundreds of millions of dollars into the pockets of the republican party that's now in charge of the house of representatives so what was at stake what they're hoping to do is bend the laws and regulations or prevent new laws and regulations from being approved they'll cut in

their bottom lines the problem is that a lot of these rules and regulations exist for a purpose they're supposed to protect the public interest to watch corporate influence inaction take republican john boehner now a majority leader in the house of representatives wall street invested millions of dollars in his campaign he's also a darling among large health insurers oil firms and drug manufacturers baner is campaigning against all kinds of government regulations and against a tax increase for the rich and other republican congressman spencer baucus is going to be the chair of the house committee on financial services he has reportedly taken over four million dollars from wall street and pledge to fight against tougher rules for the financial market and it seems there is no way around it the election system in the u.s. is such that it's virtually impossible to run for office without strong financial backing but the bigger the backing the more candidates over to their benefactors many argue the latest supreme court decision which made it possible for

corporations to invest unlimited amounts of money in politics and be able to be credited as anonymous donors has basically legalized corruption one definition of of core option is the privatization of public party two years ago corporations supported obama knowing it was going to bail them out but now that he imposed tougher rules on the financial market and wants to increase taxes for the rich. they're betting against his party fear mongering and constant attacks on obama were arguably the perforations the main tools for making things work their way and it wasn't hard with most americans on happy with the way economy works and with the unemployment rate at its worst in almost thirty years people are frustrated they're deeply frustrated with the pace of our economic recovery some corporate darling channels like fox news were especially good at channeling people's trust ration.

but many americans now fear their interest of being left out because of someone's special interests on the outside this democracy is new voice people coming to a polling station putting a quad speak with the name of a candidate they lie but in these elections with the influence of corporations on need it seems will really have the vote in american mail is money and it's shut down washington d.c. russia will reconsider its decision to ratify the new strategic arms reduction treaty with the u.s. that's an order to look into the twenty six amendments to the original version made by the american senate among them are clauses stipulating that the treaty doesn't cover the deployment of a u.s. missile defense system or ballistic missiles with conventional warheads the deal signed by president obama and medvedev and april would see both country's nuclear arsenals slashed by a third but the midterm elections have trimmed the democrats' majority in the senate meaning the tree could face stiff opposition from the republicans anti-war

activist and radio host scott horsley and things down kratz have made a farce of nuclear weapon cuts in order to get the republicans to sign on to the start treaty they basically had to add so many amendments and riders to the thing that basically allows for the creation of brand new generations of hydrogen bombs dozens and dozens uncounted new facilities for manufacturing hydrogen bombs more submarines more air power and. they've changed the accounting methods for the nuclear warheads in such a way that actually united states doesn't really have to reduce their stockpile of nuclear weapons hardly at all so they've turned what ought to be the most important issue in the world to the mutual. reduction of american russia's nuclear weapon stockpiles towards zero and turned it into a farce turned it into a way for republican congressmen to get bankrolled so that they can run again next time and keep the companies that manufacture nuclear weapons and make the parts for

the manufacture nuclear weapons in business at the expense of the rest of us and at the risk of our entire species in fact. the us president hopes the senate will approve the historic nuclear arms reduction deal with moscow by the end of the year . we have negotiated with the russians significant reductions in nuclear arms this is something that traditionally has received strong bipartisan support this is a traditionally democratic or republican issue but rather. a issue of american national security and i am hopeful that we can get that done and set a strong signal to russia that we are serious about reducing nuclear arsenals. almost two years after the end of his controversial presidency george w. bush is releasing his memoir slower and it's also known as the resident tries to see what he's most remembered for and if the time out of the limelight has restored

his image. decision points george w. bush's memoir is hitting bookstores everywhere how do you remember him this week let's talk about that i remember him as will ferrell being dropped to the stage gently on the cable from a helicopter and landing in times square fictionally being dumped and saying when he arrived that was weird on obama's inaugural day that's how i remember so you don't have necessarily fond memories of even two years later well i would say that's a fun memory going to prom with him he's cool in my book though do you think that people in general feel better about him now two years later than they did when he was in office. i would say they know but. but i don't think obama's really proven

anything you know above and beyond what he did so makes him look a little better i guess and one might not be able to get a job after that as well iraq war a lot of things i remember about george bush today do you think that his staying out of the limelight for a couple years has helped his image a dollar is that kind of just i don't think it's changed you know the first six seven years were a good bullish year we had the financial difficulties and difficulty we do the war i think will be like harry truman it may take twenty years twenty years later i think will be looked upon as maybe a decent president because you think that's fair for a lot of presidents it takes some mattress back i think so i think the only thing we could look barely upon initially was nixon with the watergate he never really seemed to recapture new glory the bottom line is it's always easier to judge in hindsight so it'll be interesting to see what people think about bama two years after his presidency ends whether that's in two thousand and fourteen or twenty eighteen we'll have to wait and.

one of the most ambitious projects in history in the international space station is marking a decade of manned operations and this is the longest period of continuous human habitation outside the earth's artie's learn what it takes to become a space at our. november second two thousand the first permanent crew reaches the international space station as the world watches its arguably humanity's most them bushes engineering project to date a mixture of science technology and political cooperation between former sworn enemies. in the ten years since the i said has expanded to the size of a football field and received two hundred lizards as well for it at the before the i s s is a breakthrough of corporation of before there were separate space agencies know they work together whether it's a leap forward in this station has cost the taxpayer one hundred billion dollars

and that's just absurd it's too much but it's their money now admit they're not sure what to expect from the station and that includes the expedition one cosmonauts themselves you to get them going up trains but then i says crew members his own training was more chaotic than we're going to give them an edge when we started training for the station itself did not exist there were no manuals there were no exercise machines with the first crews job was to fully activate the station much of it had been assembled separately in russia in the united states and the first time these parts came together wasn't space with a militia like because the first two weeks on there were extremely stressful if we failed we'd have to return to earth and abandon the station it would never have been constructed as planned expedition one was a success despite problems with construction following the columbia shuttle disaster three years later most of the modules were eventually successfully docked the completed space station provides a unique platform for experiments and weightlessness that could develop new

materials and medicines starting real now and next year we're going to find out if you have researchers tinkering in space we can have breakthroughs if not the whole thing was a waste but others believe that the value of the i assess is not on its scientific discoveries its lifespan has already been extended to twenty twenty and possibly beyond we're looking at projects of using that i assess as a docking port for missions to the moon and even mars. and if mankind does mention further afield i search for serve both as a blueprint and an instruction manual of space should do. whatever its limitations and budget over and. the assess is important at the word no longer seemed like everything was possible in space and there were no longer the cold war budgets to fund it all the still proves that space research can be right to the edge of human endeavor. moscow. there are more stories for you

including new technology that can revolutionize the nuclear power scientists say norry in the future of the year with potentially more energy down the world oil coal and uranium combined watch this and more next hour on our team. now debate is raging in germany over a t.v. show that secretly records meetings between decoys and internet paedophiles the show's producers say they're uncovering online dangerous to children but critics quine the program's main interest is the pursuit of better ratings. it's every parent's nightmare their child is being looted 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 my little girl friend it is you isn't it yes if i'm a little in your. well just the kiss. you tell me.

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's completely unaware that the meeting is being secretly filmed as part of a 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 madge and you know. usually magine is 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 format 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 the 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 secrets 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. shockingly 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 integrating is not anything nomination and as

a number of children going online grays say there's a danger and the scariest part is that right now there's not much that the police can do to protect then the team shaders how often within minutes of going into an online chat room praising as a young girl sexual advances were made the people we were conversing with were completely unconcerned when we told them that we were under the legal age of consent which it fourteen in germany is already extremely young despite the criticisms those behind the shay adamant that raising public awareness of internet creaming can make a difference if we can succeed with the goal of really changing the law making the approach of minors online the cyber grooming. under. section. can avoid those people of interest in the interim sarah fair r.t. . november the sounds as

a significant day in russian history as the anniversary of a unique military parade sixty nine years ago it took place in red square from where soviet soldiers went straight to the front line to fan the capitol against a dancing nazi troops the vandeman ball of present day units from the moscow military district wearing cellular and contemporary military dress also the famed world war two nine hundred thirty four tanks have taken part in this year's parade back in nineteen forty one the parade had become a preview to the decisive victory over nazis in the battle of moscow four counts by veterans from memory those are times you can log on to our website our tweet dot com. things this is not a problem you should let me warn. you. that you should just everybody you should is a pretty trace tricks they have no idea about the hardships to the face.
