freedom justice and peace for the world must begin with freedom justice and peace in the lives of individual human beings america long the self-appointed global leader on human rights pointing out the shortcomings of others for the united states this is a matter of moral and pragmatic necessity but scenes of injustice like these are taking place not in other countries instead happening right here in the u.s. a point being made by the united nations human rights council in its first comprehensive review of washington's record two hundred twenty eight points to be precise recommendations on how the u.s. can do better in practicing what it preaches than up. tension centers throughout the world to punish those people who torture and execute detainees arbitrarily the u.s. dismisses many of the suggestions calling them political provocations by hostile countries he had even america's allies are highlighting grave flaws friends in

ireland demand obama follow through on the promise to close gitmo britain belgium and dozens of others calling on the us to abolish the death penalty for many it's the ultimate hypocrisy how a state with roughly three thousand people on death row lectures the world about humanity almost like a case in point mumia abu jamal viewed as america's very own political prisoner the united states the perpetrator of gross human rights violations is using human rights as a political football against its enemies and its enemies are enemies not because they violate human rights necessarily but because the us wants to change the government in their country the country often accusing adversaries like syria iran and north korea of oppressing citizens is now faced with defending domestic practices like indefinite detention poor prison conditions and racial profiling don't stand idly by don't be silent when dissidents elsewhere on. in prison america

is home to the world's largest prison population with two point three million people currently behind bars children can be sentenced to life in prison a place where more than one hundred undocumented immigrants have died while awaiting deportation. increasing discrimination against muslims another blemish on america's human rights record. hundreds have been arrested in so-called f.b.i. for oil terror plots plots using government paid informants to set up the crime or practice other countries term entrapment aleesha mcwilliams mccollum's nephew is among those caught in these web she warns the system is losing its bearings america's they don't wake up because i don't know living how we go lives of many kids no one country has all the answers but all of us must answer to our own people question is when the people speak who is listening the u.s. has rejected international calls to abolish the death penalty and dismissed several

other recommendations leading many to ask if u.s. exceptionalism means do as i say not as i do during a fortnight artsy. as a call for north korea to return to international talks over its nuclear activities as soon as possible comes from russia and south korea where president votive warned that simmering tensions in the region could boil over he was speaking of talks ahead of the g twenty summit and so this is no. everyone understands how important peace on the peninsula is not just for the sake of peace but for the economy and for stability in both russia and south korea understand that this is a big issue for all we hear so much about iran and president medvedev himself brought up the fact that iran has never declared itself as a nuclear state while north korea very much have so it is a concern for russia once again president medvedev reiterated that moscow is alarmed over north korea's nuclear ambitions but believes the only way to go about

solving them is through negotiations and. that requires our special attention is the situation in the pacific region and on the korean peninsula we have discussed the issue did nuclearization have highlighted the importance of six party talks we want to resume as soon as possible in the asia pacific region the wrist serious potential for conflict and there is no alternative who want to set up a dialogue and improve understanding between the sides. and we ourselves had a chance to go to the border with north korea it's only some sixty kilometers from the center of seoul of course with the twenty most powerful leaders in the region over the next couple of days this is a lot something we're going to hear a lot about at the g. twenty president mentioned that he is very impressed with the way south korea has developed they've had a huge amount of success with innovation and modernization and my dad is looking to south korea to prove to be an example for russia. to diversify the economic

cooperation between russia and south korea what do we need to do to achieve this we need to make it more we are modernizing russia creating a new economy in our career friends have a brilliant experience in this as well as in the commercialization of scientific discovery i'm very happy to have signed a memorandum on rhaetian in high technology us president would have also had an open discussion with a member from civil society is there they talked a lot about boosting trade between the two countries of course south korea and russia do have strong trade ties but it's nothing compared to the u.s. and china when you look at the present message of certainly pushing to put a lot of effort into deepening ties especially when it comes to trade and the economy on a lighter note one of the members of the civil societies did bring up south korean food in that led to a lot of talk about russian vodka and president medvedev pointed out that this is a great chance and a great reason to build the cooperation between the two countries on the lowest levels at

a civil level so people in korea understand that it's not just that russian string . reporting first. major issue. president obama is expected to face tough questions over the u.s. decision to pump six hundred billion freshly printed dollars into its economy it's an attempt to revive the country's finances but it will also devalue the dollar the economist stephen lewis says the policies in public opinion. and pay little attention to the needs of the rest of the world. the u.s. will be on the defensive this g. twenty meeting it will have very few friends willing to support the position that it's taken on its own domestic policies but i would not expect the u.s. to change its policy in response to these international pressures be calls mr bernanke you federal reserve mr guy the treasury secretary see themselves as making

policy only for the benefit of the us economy and not for the world as a whole policymakers in the us they're on a lot of pressure from the u.s. population to do something to alleviate the rising unemployment and the troubles in the housing sector and so there's going to be a tendency for policymakers to take the line of least resistance by forming policies which are really tailored for us requirements to pay little attention to what the rest of the world needs. all the way in just a few minutes policing the police here in russia as officers mark this national day of major river under way we look at what the men and women in uniform can do to regain the trust of those they vowed to protect. first though britain seeing its biggest protest yet against the deep cuts the country faces to tackle its massive debts tens of thousands of students poured into the streets against a plan to hike in should we should fees which could see them travel to nine

thousand pounds a year artie's london correspondent laura emmott has more what does it do for their peaceful and j.v. demonstration earlier today has now turned into what's going on behind me behind me is the headquarters of the conservative party and demonstrators is gathered outside shouting slogans burning their banners in the middle of the courtyard there is a large fire that they've made that they think it's a very take this is nuts. police presence inside the courtyard as well and they've managed to break one of the windows of the building of the smoking to demonstrate the same as to make their way up one to bring up from where they are waving about as the police are involved police in riot gear have been told and to twenty twenty five police right there are also trying to steal the situation out i've been approached by a couple of people as a news crew who've said to me that they want to make it clear this is just a small group of demonstrators who are causing this trouble and the majority of

this demonstration is still a peaceful one and this is the biggest demonstration that london has seen against austerity measures because we've seen demonstrations all labor europe students and trade unions a large they all around twenty five thousand people are from the streets we think will they obviously it's impossible to get make that number but they're processing an increase in fees for university tuition for around three thousand pounds travelling to around nine thousand pounds and that is just happened in two thousand and twelve if no one does anything about it i speak to the students about why they turned out today here's what they had to say i'm a citizen so i'm i think it's not right but it's true. even though the government claims this is necessary to hold their home whatever we know for a fact there are many other ways you can help this is upload i don't think the seed in financial terms so we need to think about what education is actually for i do

it's forecast for the water just simply. to buy. power this is really the first on rex that we've seen in london but that has been out there on restroom out europe and the backdrop of this is that extraordinarily david cameron the prime minister has a great an increase in the amounts of money that person gets to the european union every year at him free so around seven hundred million dollars he's also been suggested that by any pay. she stood there in simpleton well and. in the european union it's great to see seven million will be up to one billion dollars now this is really the first unrest that we've seen in london people are expecting i think that it's about. what is laura over there let's pick up more on this now and get some reaction from james prior from the e.u. referendum campaign a surprise for example the line from london tonight's pre-show to this is the

biggest display of anger yet against britain's deepest cut since the second world war do you think the full impact of slashed welfare and huge job losses is now finally sinking in then i think it's finally sinking in absolutely i also think this is just the beginning of a lot of protests i mean you can see is twenty thirty thousand people on the streets i was down there myself today just having a look and i think it's you know it is coming home i mean we've seen strikes as well albeit it was slightly different reasons i mean we've had the tube strikes we've had the firemen strikes we've had the b.b.c. strike i think it's you know it's an action people are feeling really frustrated and feel that they want to do something and you know see him out in the streets and i think we can see a lot more of it absolutely but isn't it the time to be to be realistic to tighten pockets britain's got a massive irrefutable debt which the government can wave in the face the protesters can it is going to knock the demonstrators into a corner somewhat isn't it. well no i mean there are you know we've always said that the referendum campaign i mean we're sending forty eight million pounds

a day forty eight million pounds a day to the e.u. i mean that's a huge amount of money i mean you know our cases are going if we pull out or least have a referendum and so on and pulling out would be saving that money we can you know we can look at all sorts of other you know savings and all these vicious cuts that you know that cameron and clegg are bringing in and this is to be said confusion and misinformation within the within the e.u. itself as we heard in laura's report there the european parliament's lead negotiator saying britain's promise to pay more than four hundred thirty million pounds towards its share of funding the e.u. is dishonest how likely is it the brussels will end up spending more than. half think it's highly likely i mean they can spend a lot more i mean this is a. bit rich talk that you know this is an organization that hasn't had his accounts altered for fourteen years i think even right from the center just reject the latest round of. accounts i mean you know this is that you know this is an

unelected group of people it's all down to interpretation i mean they're saying anything i think cameron's been completely misread rise in this and i think he's also missed the mood of the people i mean the people are really now showing you know that you know we can stand up these cuts in at the campaign and we've had tens of thousands of people just signed up in the last six seven days i mean just people showing their protest to it so it's really happening. just like you saw if i'm sure it's not all bad news is that the cash does come back to member nations including britain in the subsidy is an investment so it's not all lost money is it. well know ok so you know if we take it that way let's break it down into terms that we can all understand because i mean every i say it's all down to interpretation as one hundred twenty billion we send over then we get money back and yes absolutely of course we do get to break it down to terms that we can all understand it's the equivalent of our sending them two pounds sixty and they give us

a pound back that doesn't make sense to me. thanks for the math earth think you said it well enough yourself chief executive of the e.u. referendum campaign thanks for being on the line from london thank you thank you kevin thank you. wednesday marks russia's police officers professional holiday but looming layoffs and reforms are leaving little room for celebration a string of high profile scandals of seeing public trust in the force plummet prompting the government into action or many agree that an overhaul is overdue not everyone is convinced it'll work dire pushkov explains. their pictures which shocked and asian and left the image of russia's law enforcers in tatters it's now over a year since this drunken shooting spree by police officer. killed two and wounded seven others but the case remains one of the most alarming in a series of high profile police scandals it also came as a blow to people like former officer alexander we do him who won the title hero of

the soviet union for his work but he vehicle fourteen regretfully there are many of cigars out there i'm a former policeman myself but even i try to avoid police officers they have guns and they can shoot it was also last year that a young officer tried to blow the whistle on police corruption with an internet video and sparked a political storm i have many acquaintances in the police who care about the truth he called for a national inquiry and accused police chiefs of ordering officers to jail innocent people they appealed planted a wave of similar revelations as other officers came forward the interior ministry itself admits more than one hundred thousand offenses involving police officers were registered in two thousand and nine alone. you know in the one nine hundred seventy s. policemen were motivated by reasons that would be totally on appreciated today we work to solve crimes for the excitement of the job and for justice to prevail. in

response to the scandals president dmitry medvedev ordered a multi-billion dollar reform of the interior ministry last december the new measures set out to make clear the rights of the police and those they detain one of the main talking points however became the new name for the force leaving behind the old militia and going back to the internationally more accepted police many said crossed rimming the biggest concern and worried about the costs of the name change. the issue is me i don't understand why we need to spend so much money but will they be changing the lashing on the cars it's no use changing the name first when you take a look at all those villas in the moscow region she which police officers of houses there that's what they need to start with confiscations. the proposals will be implemented next year in what will be a crucial stage in the forces history and history which has seen better days as

this museum in moscow testifies the museum tells hundreds of stories of bravery courage and heroism this is the list of those who died in the line of duty however the organizers of this exhibition say there are many more out there whose stories remain unknown but the image of law enforcement in russia remains a tarnished one the question now is whether the reforms will be more than just a facelift and help put both the police and the policed on the same side of the barricades darya pushed over r.t. moscow. you can have your thought on that story let us know on our home page are a discussion button by all the stories you see it that type of way tell us what you think it was good to hear from you talk in a way that line tonight some of the stories on our home page might be interested in apparently some along the coast of california leaves the u.s. government clueless what was it about we got the back story online tonight dot com and the soviet cartoons finding new generations of families but russian animators

europe japan india and south korea receive eight billion cubic meters of liquefied natural gas from russia by tanker but the reason i'm visiting su head of gas from alexei miller says this market alone expanding by fifteen per cent within the decade. that is good but not as our korean partners are interested in increasing the gas supply into the korean market and today we were greeted with the coal gas company on the fact that we move to the next stage of negotiations gazprom is also in talks with china as ever the sticking point is prize gas consumption in china is expected to balloon to two hundred billion cubic meters a year offering in new export markets for russia but analysts say russia should keep its western gas fields for europe and supply eastern consumers from annual tap . first of all we must think about the increase of production east part of russia

it's very important to us because we know that the future for us in this industry in the east part of russia not in the west part of russia because we see the decline of production although a big versts fuels and that is why it's a very simple to us because of the new market and we have the new fields which are not far from this year what could be key to winning the asian markets is subtly an island in the far east holding vast hydrocarbon reserves gastronomy is accelerating its second three gas project to come on stream by two thousand and eleven and the business our team and the government of bulgaria has backed the joint venture with gas from to build a local section of the south stream pipeline last week the bulgarian energy holding and gazprom launched a tender for the initial investment study the actual agreement will be signed during prime minister has been put in space or to sow fear on saturday now gas prices should be independent of the oil market says the e.u.

energy commissioner as gas becomes a more important source of energy the union wants to minimize price fluctuations and as you commission also spoke of europe's trust for russia as an energy partner . in this theory that the russians have already invested more than fifty billion euro in the stream pipeline and that was basically seeking profit and if gas can't flow in then there's no profit so it's in the russian's only interest to ensure that this gas connection gets up and running and this interdependency is mutual russians are selling gas to us and they can purchase trucks machinery chemicals and engineering expertise from europe. companies in russian and cars that star may benefit from the wave of stimulus money from the u.s. some of those hundreds of billions of dollars certain to stock markets and emerging economies the bonds of local energy companies are winners with oil prices on the uptrend energy exporters expect to boost earnings that will make local bond. issues
