the don't. tile and approve the extradition to the u.s. and russian businessman victor borge want to buy washington for alleged arms trafficking. fighting against time the u.s. congress tries to approve the our introduction treaty between moscow and washington or new members are sworn in but may have a different agenda. and human rights activists demand transparency in u.s. detention practices and again a stand to ensure washington's cleaned up its act following claims of detainee torture and abuse. have brought a mass murderer that shocked russia so where he's arrested gang leader following the slaughter of twelve people in the southern region of cross and daraa we are at the scene.

it is nine am in the russian capital you're watching r t with me marina joshing the thai government has agreed to extradite the alleged russian arms trafficker viktor bullets to the u.s. he's wanted they are in charge of trying to sell weapons to rebels in colombia and could face life imprisonment is convicted the russian businessman denies all charges against what has been a bank called jail since two thousand and eight when he was arrested in a u.s. sting operation his defense team claims the american prosecutors haven't provided enough evidence to justify the extradition we'll have more on this breaking news story when later in the program so do stay with us for that attack. in other news here in our top u.s. officials have urged the outgoing senate to ratify the latest nuclear cuts treaty with russia before the end of the year and they say america's national security depends on prompt ratification but as our team is going to count reports many

republicans are banned on scrapping the deal. obviously this is going to be a last minute push to get this landmark deal passed through the senate before you newly elected officials step into office in january there is a very tense partisan game going on here in washington and the a lot of observers say that for many on capitol hill the fight is not about the content of the treaty but rather about scoring political points and the point scoring because it is expected to intensify after republicans gain a considerably bigger influence in the senate in january compared to what they have now the republican senate minority leader has already said their priority will be to have obama voted out of office in two thousand and twelve so basically to make sure that the president fails on his major initiatives so the obama administration is very eager to get the treaty passed on this so-called lame duck session in order to avoid a bumpy ride after january when obama's arguably major foreign policy achievement

could well be on the line of the u.s. it proves that and hillary clinton and defense secretary robert gates have just published an urge for the senate to hurry up with a ratification saying the u.s. national security depends on the prospects of the treaty to be ratified by by this look promising the treaty was earlier approved by the senate foreign relations committee there had been a long buildup to it over many months of hearings america's key military officials had been unanimously testifying in support for the treaty leading security experts in the country were saying it's only common sense to have the new arms reduction deal in place actually among those who testified in support for the treaty there were more republicans than democrats so it's wrong to think republicans are all against it some very influential republican senators like richard lugar are have strongly advocated for the treaty to be passed they've been they've been calling for their party members to put partisan games aside to to put their overwhelming desire to undermine obama as side and do what they believe is right for their

country and for maybe on many cut capitol hill observers the whole thing. bait but really comes down to this question will some republican senators sacrifice a landmark historic deal just for the sake of denying the obama this feather in his foreign policy cap and but what's at stake the treaty will create nuclear arsenals of both russia and the u.s. by a third it's meant to increase the level of trust between the two nuclear superpowers it's meant to show an example of nonproliferation to other countries and is expected to pave the way for u.s. russia cooperation in other areas as well and many believe what's on the line now is the well advertised we said not ratifying the treaty could well put the leaders other cooperation plans on. going to japan reporting there now u.s. and afghan officials are trying to downplay a potential fallout between the two countries this comes after president hamid karzai slammed washington's war tactics in afghanistan karzai demanded the u.s.

led coalition reduce its military operations in the country and he also called for an ant to night raids against suspected taliban commanders which often result in civilian casualties but the u.s. state secretary hillary clinton says surgical strikes are to winning the war the exchange of statements comes just days before a crucial nato summit with the alliance expected to set a deadline for ending combat operations in afghanistan in two thousand and fourteen but as r.t.f. john haas reports america's rules of engagement aren't the only thing troubling the afghan president. thirty eight billion dollars have been poured into afghanistan by the u.s. since the two thousand and one invasion to bolster security and economic development a significant chunk of that money humanitarian aid to provide food build health clinics schools and one of the poorest countries in the world all part of the u.s. effort to win over hearts and minds and to convince afghans to reject the tele ban

and al qaeda drop off some humanitarian aid supplies as much as we can give the people the knowing that we are out here we are the good guys but there is a dark cloud looming over the battle for hearts and minds it's known as america's black hole in afghanistan a secretive place journalists and human rights activists still depict as a liability to america's so-called war on terror former detainees have described the bug room detention facility as the scene of heinous crimes a place into which people simply disappeared without a trace two detainees were tortured to death by u.s. forces in two thousand and two while the scandal exposed the use of torture to obtain information from detainees today bob graham rename part when detention facility rarely makes the news ah is still very much

a black hole it's a prison facility that is operating that we don't have very much information about as i indicated there are about six hundred or so detainees that are there many of them captured outside of afghanistan although a list of names that were released last year a federal court recently denied access to any other information pertaining to those detainees. global outrage and condemnation over detainee abuses in america's the tourist guantanamo bay prison. then force the u.s. to change its practices there but those languishing within the walls of bug room were less lucky the detention facility at guantanamo is that is the most transparent we're talking to in history bob graham detention facility and afghanistan do they have the same standards for litigation process in a wartime theater to an act of war zone it would be an precedent to have such access the original bob graham detention facility may have been renamed relocated

but it will take more than a fresh coat of paint to ease the fear afghans associate with the prison reports of a prison with an imprisoned persist with afghan president hamid karzai recently demanding greater afghan insight into the prisons affairs and greater legal recourse for its detainees which is why human rights advocates insist the billions of dollars sent to afghanistan does little to buffer and sign an image of america has already been tarnished by places like bob graham and that of the. human rights policies seem hypocritical and inconsistent and i think it's a problem for the government mixing humanitarian aid with contentious u.s. policies and nontransparent detention practices relay a different reality on the ground for the people of afghanistan hypocrisy is basically what it is jan hoffa's r.t. washington d.c.

now six months after a two hundred million gallons of oil gushed into the gulf of mexico the us claims its waters are good for fishing and american oil industry insider bob kamber told r.t. we've yet to see the worst consequences of the environmental disaster. the problem is that the vast majority of the oil never came to the surface it's in the oceans still today in cold water three thousand four thousand feet deep there could be vast plumes of oil that we can't see this destroying the food chain how come nobody is talking about this you know it's tragic the u.s. government and b.p. both wanted this story off the television. stay with r.t. for more thoughts on why the u.s. government is keeping the story out of the public eye and the full interview with bob kamber is coming your way next hour meantime russian police have arrested a man they believe responsible for the brutal slaying of two families in the
