worldwide news around the clock with r.t. moscow has dubbed thailand's extradition russian businessman victor boot to the u.s. as illegal washington is accused of using unprecedented political pressure to have him handed over america says the man nicknamed the merchant of death traffic. zones around the world that's not the latest from. who's waiting for us live in washington have any idea of the latest news what's his location where is victor right now. well according to some reports victor the board is expected to land in new york at nine pm local time following a very contentious extradition procedure that uproots lawyers family in the russian embassy in thailand said they had no information of that coming it was apparently

just put on the plane in a very speedy manner and sent to face trial in the u.s. we contacted the f.b.i. for more commas they did not comment but they said they were going to hold a news conference this wednesday will definitely keep you posted on that the u.s. you can imagine is more than happy to have mr bush on their soil here in the united states here he faces charges of selling arms to a terrorist group and conspiring to kill american citizens if convicted he may face life in prison according to the u.s. he was one of the world's most active black market arms traders mr bush denies any wrongdoing and says he has only engaged in perfectly legal aircraft sales he was detained in thailand as a result of a sting operation carried out by americans as for the upcoming trial here in the u.s. back in august when boot heard a thai court decision to axe or die him he said he would face trial in the u.s. and win it while that will be an is a task considering all the labels that the u.s.

is tackling with you know merchant of das lord of war we've heard so many of them henri we've got some strong reaction so far coming out of moscow tell us what are officials here saying about the extradition of victimhood. well russian diplomats say first of all russian diplomats say they need an immediate access to vic that a boat and who is a russian citizen of course they hope his rights will be respected and for two years russia and the u.s. have been in a tug of war over his extradition the u.s. believes is evil in the stock violence by selling arms to war as a war regional war torn region regions like liberia's sierra leone afghanistan sudan and so on russia says because of a lot of accusations that the u.s. is hung up on victor bush there are doubts that he will have the chance to stand a fair trial in the united states russians also believe the u.s. managed to get boat extradited from thailand by putting unprecedented political

pressure on the government and judicial authorities of the country and here is what foreign minister sergei lavrov had to say. despite two rulings in thailand's criminal court saying viktor boots guilt was not proven the thai government has still decided to hand him over to the us i consider this unprecedented political pressure on the legal process and on thailand's government this is an example of striking injustice we as a state will continue to give all necessary support to boot as a russian citizen. now you said guy i know that there has been an air of secrecy and urgency around victory it's a tradition tell us why is that. well worry as you know there has been an amazing hype around this case americans are talking about millions of dollars worth of russian weapons sold by victor borge we have to remember but it is a former soviet military office so what makes the case political is the underlying

implication of the u.s. accusations that boy it was able to pull it off because of his government connections actually mr bush's lawyers and some intelligence experts claim that the reason the u.s. so wanted to have him in custody is his allegedly extensive knowledge of russian military and intelligence operations it's really unclear to what extent victor abroad is knowledgeable in all those things but hopefully my colleague considered will shed some light on why the u.s. wants him soledad here. how the woods lord who are there over five hundred fifty million firearms in the world wide circulation that's one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. the only question is. how do we arm the other eleven and his ledge to realize prototype russian

businessmen victor boot nickname the merchant of death deny to own like use a shins and last off parallels. well you know very sort of for miracles to play this sort of laws for this very soon and i feel suited for. his statement never changed even when he came from behind bars in the infamous bangkok hilton but that did not stop the thai appeal court ordering his extradition to the united states despite the fact the country's criminal court earlier refused to do just that in a move worthy of a bureaucratic record tired stories move boot from prison to u.s. airplane in under three hours without him seeing his wife or his lawyer. and even though this case may seem closed the biggest question remains unanswered what does victor butin know to make the americans want this badly victor board is a walking intelligence treasure trove has a phenomenal phenomenal photographic memory and because what knows too much he is

more dangerous than we kill x. for the u s smuggling role in weapons in not only in africa and latin america but all over the world it's not everyone that's willing to give the russian businessmen the type of credit given to him by u.s. prosecutors he's possibly a merchant of some death but he certainly isn't the man the u.s. made you would call them merchant of death i mean around quite a large airline operate in many. and i would think that ninety five percent of his flights were ordinary commercial goods i know you through television you see from washing powder all sorts of things so we're only talking about five percent of the cargoes possibly being. done even as is not itself illegal but ever since his arrest in the thai capital in march two thousand and eight the american side did everything it could to make charges stick including adding allegations of trade

love violations. boots family have repeatedly criticized the court procedures firm in their belief that that is being made a scapegoat of a policeman a principle this is a question of principle they've spent ten years spending money taxpayer money on trying to root out gun runs so they have to have someone to show for it and they chose victor it's nothing but p.r. . you know louise actually refused to take his case because they were visited by u.s. officials boots trial and tribulations are anything but over his fate in the u.s. is very uncertain and with only one thing guaranteed more time behind bars rumors of a sequel to hollywood's blockbuster lord of war have been circling around for a while and last ordinary moviegoers await that release dictabelt will be awaiting his own at this point in time both look equally unlikely. kashrut as our r t moscow . while snapper acts traditions are apparently business as usual for the

us we could remember a different case that of our russian pilot who was arrested in liberia and transferred to america to face drug trafficking charges although his lawyers say there's no prophy committed any crime in the u.s. he was handed over to american agents in matter of days that happened in may they also used the u.s. agents opie and humane treatment of the pilot and claim that the pilot had been kept kidnapped or i've gone and she can live from washington d.c. with the latest on the extradition of a victim thank you. well you are what you got see still to come georgian spy fiction it's a b c releases a film based on an alleged russian spy network we try to separate fact from fiction . if europe's a single currency fails so with the union itself the warning comes from the e.u.

president who was speaking at head of the meeting of the euro zone's finance ministers portugal has warned it could be forced out of the euro zone and ireland is also being opposed to use european bailout money to prevent bankruptcy but financial analyst max keiser says going to the international monetary fund for help could be even worse. the e.u. right now is investigating criminal frogland activity over there at the anglo irish bank four hundred fifty one million dollars of illegal loans that are now parked in offshore accounts implicated are sean fitzpatrick david drummond shown quinn the financial terrorists that are taking ireland down in less ireland's willing to give up its sovereignty unless ireland is going to become a debt slave unless ireland wants its affairs conducted by the i.m.f. and the i.m.f. everywhere they've gone they've they've brought destruction and economic mayhem you know they're licking their chops waiting to get in there to cause havoc pay

themselves huge fees give bonuses to their college array of crony capitalist and terrorist bankers and ireland is quitting in its boots and the government unfortunately arliss not standing up for the people it's abdicated its role as representative of the people the the i am out in this and the e.u. and the e.c.b. caused ireland's crisis so why are you going to them to ask you to solve the crisis they're the ones that caused the crisis he only needs to divorce itself from these financial terrorists and stand on its own two feet well i mean as the. same case whether it's portugal ireland greece or any of these other european countries they all are facing the same problem bankers have been allowed to conduct fraudulent activity look what happened in greece for example they allowed goldman sachs to come in and buys them on entering into the euro goldman sachs got them to cook their books and commit fraud and now they're in dire straits so now who are they

asked to help them get out of their problem while they ask representatives from goldman sachs this is a case of stockholm syndrome these countries are being held captive by financial terrorists and to get out of their problem they're asking the same financial terrorists please sir how do we escape the clutches of your terrorism you know ireland they went to war against the ira the irish republican army but they seem to just give a pass to you know sean fitzpatrick. well for more on rock's kaiser's analysis on all the latest from the world of finance tune in for the kaiser report that's in just about twenty minutes time right here on. well the u.s. and afghanistan are trying to downplay rumors of a dispute brewing between the two of them it follows of president hamid karzai as criticism of washington's water in afghanistan because i demanded the u.s. led coalition to reduce military operations and end the night raids against suspected taliban commanders which often result in civilian casualties but the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton says the strikes are crucial to fight insurgents

and all of this is just days before a critical nato summit where the alliance will unveil its new combat strategy up until two thousand and fourteen but as our. reports america's rules of engagement the only thing troubling afghanistan. 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 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 by grim 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 power when detention facility rarely makes the news is still very much a black hole it's a prison facility that is operating that we don't have very much information about 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 america's the tour has gone time obey prison forced the u.s. to change its practices there but those languishing within the walls of bug room were less lucky their tension so you're on top of it is that is the most transparent we're talking to in history bob graham detention facility and afghanistan to have the same standards for litigation process isn't a wartime theater it's an act of war zone it would be an precedent to have such access to 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 bufferin 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 like other men mixing humanitarian aid with contentious u.s. policies and nontransparent detention practices really a different reality on the ground for the people of afghanistan hypocrisy is basically what it is you can't have this our t. washington d.c. . you can always follow up our stories leave your comments. at anytime you want on our website that's party dot com right now waiting for you is no escape for russia's drink drivers russian policeman and now equipped with a super cold laser able to detect from twenty paces. the police are cool ten

zest into the spy thriller it's georgian state t.v.'s version of the rest of fifteen people accused of being russian spies in reality the only evidence police is given to reality is the parent can fashion of one of those arrested a super agent who actually turns out to be a georgian spy. i personally enrolled him and he was my agent from ninety two to ninety four after the rose revolution he was recruited to work for george intelligence also his brother runs the security service of the whole republic of a jury and i assert it officially this man is a georgian agent. but the stories certainly doesn't and there are especially for roussillon one of the suspects appeared to be his father. in may
