russia's going to be so much brighter if you move on song from phones to freshens. for instance on t.v.

dot com. am. russian businessman victor boat is being flown to the us were he is wanted for alleged arms trafficking this comes after taiwan approved he's extradition. fighting against time the u.s. congress tries to approve the arms reduction treaty between moscow and washington before a new members are sworn in and may have a different agenda. human rights activists demand transparency new as a tantrum practices in afghanistan to ensure washington is cleaned up and out following claims of detainee torture and abuse. and brought on mass murder that shocked russia the world he's arrested gang leader following the slaughter of twelve people in the southern region across the dar we are at the scene.

and eleven am the russian capital you watching r t. welcome to the program first off the alleged russian arms trafficker viktor board has left thailand after being handed over to u.s. authorities it follows the thai government's decision to approve his extradition washington accuses the businessman of a number of crimes including trying to sell weapons to rubbles in colombia. and will bring of course more on this case as we get it in the meantime let's take a look at other stories that we're following for here in our top u.s. officials have urged the outgoing senator ratify the latest nuclear cuts treaty with russia before the end of the year they say america's national security depends on prompt ratification but as artie's guy an edge to account 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 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 it the prospects of the treaty to be ratified by this look promising the treaty was earlier approved by the senate foreign relations committee there had been a long buildup to wait 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 a 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 little guard 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 and do what they believe is right

for their country and so maybe on many cut capitol hill observers the whole thing. bate it really comes down to this question will some republican senators sacrifice a landmark historic deal just with the sake of denying obama this feather in his foreign policy cap and what's at stake the treaty will cut 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 us russian cooperation in other areas as well and many believe what's on the line now is the well advertised reset and not ratifying the treaty could well put the leaders other cooperation plans on. that you can reporting there right now let's return to our developing story victor blitz extradition to the united states to discuss this further we're going to go to jack barton journalist joining us from bangkok there jeff thanks for being here

with us on the program first off though. the decision was made earlier today and it is now laught thailand as we know why is this rush. well the decision comes off to months of intense political pressure from both washington and moscow but thailand has had a longstanding close relations with the u.s. ever since the vietnam war and it seems in this instance the u.s. is. it's taken many people by surprise reportedly russian diplomats in bangkok were not even informed that the extradition had been cleared i think they wanted to get this through quickly to avoid any legal challenges any time i don't tie special forces were taking no chances this morning there were fifty special agents on hand including police snipers who was soon as the thai cabinet decision was rushed through took mr boat to the airport handed him over to u.s.

drug enforcement agents who bundled him onto a u.s. government plane and at one thirty bangkok time he was on the air india on route to the united states so what can we expect to happen next in this case. well. mr boots wife is and his lawyers have complained that getting a fair trial in the united states is going to be highly unlikely the charges in the u.s. terrorism charges related to allegations of arms trafficking to fog guerrillas in colombia but his lawyers say that there's very little substantial evidence to really indicate him in this and what experts and his lawyer is really saying is that they want access to mr berry especially the intelligence experts here believe or at least the u.s. believes that mr boot has extensive knowledge on russia's military and intelligence operations they want him in custody so they can find out all what he knows about these operations rajan bharti thanks very much indeed for bringing us the latest

from bangkok. u.s. and afghan officials are trying to downplay a potential fall between the two countries this comes after president hamid karzai slammed washington's war tactics in afghanistan karzai to me out of the u.s. led coalition to reduce its military operations in the country he also called for an and to night raids against suspected taliban commanders which often result in civilian casualties but the u.s. state secretary hillary clinton says the surgical strikes are key to winning the war the exchange of statements comes just days before crucial nato summit was the alliance expected to set a deadline for ending combat operations in afghanistan in two thousand and fourteen but as our reports america's rules of engagement are 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 taliban and al qaeda drop off some humanitarian aid supplies as much as we can and 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 bob graham detention facility as the scene of heinous crimes a place into which people simply disappeared without a trace to detainees were tortured to death by u.s. forces in two thousand and two while the scandal exposed the use of torture and. to

obtain information from detainees today bob graham rename part one detention facility rarely makes the news blog rob 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 abuse is america's new tory is kuantan obey prison forced 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 was the most transparent or time to sort in history bob graham detention facility and

afghanistan today have the same standards for litigation process is in a wartime theater it's an act of war zone it would be and present to have such access the original buggering 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 out of the. human rights policies seem hypocritical and inconsistent and i think it's a problem for mccallum and 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 u.s. claims its waters are good for fishing but an american oil industry insider bob calvert 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.

i stay with you for more thoughts on why the u.s. government is keeping this story out of the public eye for injury with cameras coming your way next hour. now russian police have arrested a man that they believe responsible for the brutal slaying of two families in the country south the twelve killings which included four children shocked the nation five other suspects who are all members of a criminal gang are currently being held artisan as well as give reports. grieving relatives detective still working on the scene and candles in the wind this quiet rule neighborhood was the scene of a gruesome murder of two families just days ago the number of victims children among them as well as the way they were killed with knives and razors terrified many in the village of. russia for victims of buried here at the small symmetry everyone who knew these people is in deep shock victor used to work for them at the family they were farmers his says real hard workers this is the head of the family

surrogate his wife and daughter in law with a little daughter and mira i just calm believe it happened and i don't know who could do something like this. the bodies of the twelve were found in this house investigators believe the killers entered through the back door literally slaughtering everyone who got in their way the owners and their guests who were there to celebrate national unity day together with their met office the hitmen tried to cover the tracks by burning the house down but the flames went out this man was the first to arrive on the scene but no one was alive by that time. i entered the house and i saw three bodies in the bad another person was lying on the floor there was a gas canister in the hallway. six men have already been arrested in connection with the murder two of them are believed to be influential crime boss as we detain

the leader of the criminal group suspected of all the noise in the murders of twelve people november fifth as well as being an active member of this group is also suspected of being involved in this mass murder we are conducting an investigation and gathering further evidence. investigators say the case resembles the gruesome murders of the nine hundred ninety s. when record tears used scare tactics to threaten and. maybe also tend to think that this was a contract killing that didn't go according to plan and well said if i was at tivoli refusing to local crime boss says may have been the target his family and friends just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time this shocked community wants justice life behind bars but those responsible of a truly horrific crime. r t across the region. and so i had here in our movie based on

improvement. in the general balance of capital inflows not necessarily that's not necessarily imply that but people actually starting to invest more in russia they're just much more willing to lend to russia india. explain the trend is mostly by boring programs and these are quite substantial the next year russian government is planning to board up to well over fifty billion dollars and ruble equivalent of domestic markets. and rethink that such a big boring program is likely to draw critically high scale of capital inflows into russia so there is more money but not the right kind of money investors are keenly aware of risk and russia is about to enter a major election cycle starting with parliamentary elections next year and concluding with presidential elections in two thousand and twelve it's a timeline that's likely to dominate investor sentiment and therefore capital flow
