hilarity i'll have more on that and all the latest business days in twenty minutes . ten pm the russian capital you're watching r.t.m. arena joshua into the program of russian artist has strapped himself into an electric chair and is asked online viewers to vote on his fate leg never mind he who lives in self-imposed exile in bulgaria is known for his controversial public stance and the stime he says he's electrocution experiment is meant to highlight censorship in his in russia and you may find some of the images in this report disturbing. artista like mobility has just been hit by a six hundred thousand volt shock this happens every time one hundred people on the internet vote for him to receive a massive electric jolt anyone can vote he'll do this every night for

a week or until he's hospitalized i think you're born to chance it so if this is a test of how sometimes he interprets freedom do they want to use it to save or to kill me this is a lot about our society my remarks he says his electric shock treatment is symbolic of what he calls the oppression of artists specifically says to provoke both vocal religious minorities. that years ago he shot a radical film in which he was a physically crucified. i'm not the son of god suddenly scription on his back. a prominent orthodox christian he thought that i was asian and russia sued him for inciting religious hatred i knew there was no position there people had the right to be protected from having their beliefs insulted the man deserves punishment it was all a feel for him no biggie he's crazy. at the moment but i'm up he did not wait for the court decision and fled he's now living in exile in bulgaria known just.

i paid a high price i am separated from my homeland but if i'd gone to prison i wouldn't paid an even higher price those people have tried to destroy me just maybe. we have laws to protect religion on the one hand to put in laws that protect the individual's right to freedom of expression he was caught between the two bills which were to look was accused of committing hate crimes that i think is wrong with you. since his crucifixion performance dozens of other artists have been fined and have their shows closed most after mass destruction by christian groups are disclaimed the russian state and also censorship from the new i believe that would happen to a leg is really unjust our society is intolerant and these aggressive religious groups seek out things to be offended about. mathematics says he has no fear of death and thousands of responses for him because no one should be driven to suicide

by religious fanatics says well why are you giving people on the internet the power to decide your life and theirs for its ability for your death so as another it would be fun to see someone die suggest someone else a legacy fighting what seems to be a worthy aim now he didn't get injured today but if anything happens to him over the next week everybody involved in this story will be a loser here or there are no artsy severe garia. and coming up here in our sick of all things saw what the georgian government wants and decades country's history some say it's only trying to draw public attention away from the problems of today. fear as republicans will try to repeal president barack obama's health care law have risen following the u.s. midterm elections democrats lost control over the house of representatives and will now struggle to implement the reform congress meets in two thousand and eleven

artie's or in a lister has been talking to a nine eleven hero for whom that new health care system is the only hope to stay alive. new york. the big apple it's the city that never sleeps and just beyond the urban chaos. neither does kenneth george one of the most. deer in his closet and you can see why he is of course you can it is a sick man and despite appearances the photos with us politicians in plaques from the president recognizing him as a hero in the aftermath of nine eleven at ground zero the letter from the president he still can't afford his health care a lot of the medications i need include. you know it's expensive his insurance fall short which means every month you have to pick and choose what ailments he treats this is what i do a lot of times i stick with the course here to help me breathe at night and i skip

some of the other medications my sleeping pills to help me sleep even without sleeping pills he hasn't slept well since nine eleven a city employee working on highways he was drafted into the search and rescue team in the aftermath of the attack on the twin towers basically picking up human remains and searching to see if anybody was or why the aftermath for him has been forced early retirement in a fixed pension basically a kick you know and a cut in health care which puts him in a deadly dilemma forced to make possibly life or death decisions because of the chronic diseases he suffers arising from his work at ground zero but i really got a foot in the grave as a heart and lung disease and all i did was get punished for getting sick doing my job down there the kind of case is unique in that he was a nine eleven first responder grim statistics show he is not alone in the united states now ranks forty ninth in the world in overall life expectancy this is a drop from twenty fourth back in one thousand nine hundred nine it put that behind countries such as south korea bosnia as well as bigger opinion yet another prime

reason for the decline researchers say it's america's deteriorating health care system with a growing number of people who are uninsured or underinsured. or. people just like kenneth i think that insurance companies make decisions that are not necessarily towards. the betterment of the patient but some of his patients are even worse off than canada if they don't have insurance that means it's all out of pocket a lot of these people are not working there's a lot of problems i think the president has tried. to repair a system that's out of whack you as president obama's health care reforms might. help someone like kenneth but there's still lots of red tape to be faced with insurers and now the reforms themselves are under threat from a house now controlled by republicans who vowed to overturn them but as the

politicking goes on kenneth still needs his prescriptions but i want to get paid. for these uncovered and you'll still be forced to make desperate choices on which ones he can afford and which ones he can't this in the richest and largest economy in the world in a country where he was praised as a hero by its president but that won't change his grim reality his prognosis as well as of his nobody knows. but just like the city that never sleeps kenneth george may not ever either who should take care of my family when i'm gone and even if his family does no one is resting easy concert right now lauren this year r.t. new york now over one hundred iraq is are demanding a public inquiry in the u.k. over claims that you were systematically abused by british troops between two thousand and three and two thousand and eight the allegations include torture of sensory deprivation of being stripped naked shiner one of the lawyers in the case

wants to outlaw all things a soviet then it means outlawing the communist party as well a prospect which doesn't go down well with party members. of those in the un to not of their polity this is yet another step in an anti people policy which our government is conducting this is an attempt to rewrite history the situation in the country is critical really saying openly that it was better to live under socialism and in the current system the government is just trying to show the west that they belong there. aside from making everything hammer and sickle related illegal the plans would also tighten control over money transfers anyone receiving more than thirteen thousand dollars must name the source of that income. not as it was based in total control over money transfers. overseas but only from russia. and that money with. the straight rights tools at the time the turnaround regime.

and opinions there's plenty to keep you busy there but here's a quick taste of what's in line right now the russian military faces the largest reform in years but some of the top brass are marching to the tune of change. and on this day nine hundred seventy five are russian naval officer a fed up with the stagnating soviet union tried to stage a marxist revolution up all the details and many more stories on our. count a few of make up and fragrances are making their way into beauty stores and underground kiosks across russia shoppers may be enticed by cheap price tag but end up with a low quality product which sometimes has severe side effects or just more even often finds out how vendors of the fake stuff get away with it. up to thirty

percent of all cosmetics in russia afaik it's a huge figure but even these official stance by the ministry of internal affairs could just be the tip of the iceberg almost every month police raids torus with illegal goods produced both in asian countries and incandescent operations in russia's own backyard but counterfeit leap sticks and perfume us to everywhere russia is a huge country and it's through the very hard to control all flows of products but the laws seem to be written specially to make it even worse last february they refused inability to or a certification for cosmetics and there are no longer inspections so how'd could be better. but if you want to go to another post shop in the center of moscow so as here don't even make any secret out of their frame how much is chanel number five thirty dollars thirty dollars it's cheap isn't it it's

a fake you want it's produced in the united arab emirates illegally know there is a license it smells strange it's the sea it just may not be that curable than the original it's not always easy to tell the real from fake even an expert can fail to spot the difference but the price can be a real quote a ten dollar tab for chanel or george or money going to tease the here person a fake brand and most likely of love out into the bargain. fake is always many times cheaper but the real price to pay could be much greater when the running a book most current from a scene a special and unforgettable luke she could hardly imagine what kind of special it would turn out to be a porn movie the first week was all fine but then my i started teaching terribly became read and were watering i couldn't drive because i couldn't see anything i was diagnosed with blepharitis inflammation of the eyelids it led to kind of allergy thrown into says she'll never ever get anything from

a moment but first cash may no longer be king payments via mobile phones are playing an increasingly important role in the russian market in fact operators see it as a major share of their revenues seen eisenman fatter reports russians do have this in cash many people don't trust beings you just said history of default greeting cards are rear debit cards is nearly too was drawn from cash machines that leaves the field when open to move while operators who can build on the common use of pretty. but this is one of the fastest growing share of operators revenues and it will continue to grow quite rapidly according to both operators estimations and other analysts now we have virtually all people having mobile phones we think that micro payments will very well be very popular among russians

in one thousand. one percent repeat on your new phone and you can people in range of other goods people from small cities will benefit the most from mobile payments with fewer bangs well citizens of metropolis can top up their mobile on almost any foreigner saving time nerves and queues and all that rushing for the meat you're screwed because it's a crime to go alone cash raymond's down the street you know most because remember corner which is really all over the perspective especially from space perspective so i think we come to you to this dram to be banking. society you know we cover only been crossed over from their perspective the marker for the mainstream so you assume is no longer just a gadget it can replace your wallet. but a service is becoming widespread in russia now if you hop on a train becomes not just traffic free but also castree because you can simply pay

with your phone then add a bit of a business card to moscow. and that's have a place to look at those equity markets asian stocks all mixed on monday as investors take a pause after last week's big gains or losses all being tempered by surprise jump in the u.s. employment in the k. has been supported by gains in tech and. but in hong kong stocks a week with losses in h.s.b.c. dragging on the index. and here in moscow the r.t.s. has opened high and is already more than two percent in the black hats off to a short trading week last week by forces of finishing mixed on wednesday was the top around one percent so my six will open in just a few minutes. so last week russian indices took a break due to the public holiday on thursday and friday head of research at four x. ray dugan explains how the markets will be catching up. groschen this will grow but

maybe. maybe in monte because the small correction because the market is a bit tired and of course we need a small correction but after wards we are quite bullish on the markets is up travel generally speaking so it's very very positive russia could conquer up to three percent of the world's nanotechnology market by two thousand and fifteen if all goes according to plan but there's still plenty of hard work ahead a russian born physics nobel prize winner and now living in the u.k. explains it's a little bit from system than what it used to to have now a human child. probably one of the major problem is that you would have to hunt for money for the longer that you have of the number months to support same thing and so we probably need a little logic rather especially. for

a startup but those in the public service and there are some of the things he and the other countries as well so do. you know the that there was this were a nice system russian farm for the amount of the sewerage so they day they provide runs which are. sufficient for four for a good lab so that's just this week this week it's possible to do my science bar so you move back to russia one day at the moment that there are no your station on russia and the reason or the reason one from another country and i would most probably try to go they all go there first bicycle at least flushes innovation hubs skulk of a county being created should be using individual approaches with companies to achieve maximum effectiveness that's according to the head a few package russia. we were making a decision on the best investment decision and world like to approach this as an

investment decision and i'm afraid skolkovo should be looking are doing a sales job a better job with large companies because an actual investment still remains questionable if we look at all the only use sign so far i would like to learn more when how and if to war to what extent this conditions will bethany couple to what is necessary for us in our. because different companies may have different demands for the investment conditions. i'm not sure update for now but of course you can always find. a website that's slash as.
