a war of economic collapse of taiwan and the whole new deal whether an economic storm. what you think i mean to you live from moscow i'm marina joshie welcome to the program russian businessmen gunrunning suspect victor borge has been put in a new york jail after extradition from thailand moscow insists the thai decision to hand him over to the u.s. authorities was illegal and says it will continue to fight for him if convicted who could face life behind bars very important i reports. u.s. justice department refuses to give me personally any comment regarding what will happen next to victor boot but i can tell you that prosecutors are preparing to address the media some point wednesday that would detail how the the trial would
5:03 am
proceed if there is to be a trial where he will be held in the time being as i mentioned i did reach out to the justice department to just find out basic questions when the arraignment would be where mr boot would be relocated to whether he would be held under special administrative measures and the justice department wrote me back saying that they would not comment or answer any of my questions obviously this has added a tense element to the relations between the united states and russia russian foreign minister sergei lavrov weighed in on the situation questioning why this clandestine activity is taking place at the moment. but. despite two rulings in thailand's criminal court saying victor boot 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
5:04 am
a state will continue to give all necessary support to boot as a russian citizen. shortly after the extradition was underway you will see the fischel say that they followed all the procedures they hope that what is happening right now with the activity surrounding viktor booth that it would not impact the relations between moscow and washington in any way let's take a listen to what was said. we have. a broad and deep relationship with russia it is guided by our mutual national interests i don't expect that this will have any impact on our relationship it is fully consistent with both our. bilateral treaty obligations with thailand and fully consistent with international law this was a very quick and precise perceive that went under way that surprised victor boots
5:05 am
wife who now remains through this as to what is happening with her husband what will happen when she will see her next we did get to speak with her here's what she said i mean. it's hard for me to talk about but what happened was totally unexpected for both myself and victor's lawyer the thai cabinet held a closed meeting where a political decision was taken to extradite my husband to the us the extradition took place within four hours of the meeting against all the rights and laws of the country the only law that exists in thailand is u.s. influence i guess this decision was paid for what is come to light in this story with this. the worry is the u.s. justice system is wide what the jew process in the united states is all about because so many secrets have been kept so many people have been kept in the dark about what is happening with all of this while the u.s. has been aggressively campaigning to get him extradited and. so right now while
5:06 am
many are questioning what due process and the u.s. is really all about. for now reporting there daniel is still in and best a good journalist and writer says the u.s. is trying to make victor borge a scapegoat i can't possibly see how it would be a fair trial because i get americans i've spent ten years actually trying to get out of the trouble they spent two years and a half trying to get him out of prison in thailand to the united states and now actually when they have him in their grasp in the united states if they actually put him on fair trial and he wins this case imagine what's going to happen to the united states they're going to turn into a lobbying stock of the entire world so no the trial is not going to be a fair trial but again victor would simply has no secrets to tell so in a fair trial he would go a hole but again he won't go home i mean the whole idea of viktor buddhism merchant of death is a hollywood phenomenon the trouble is not in arms merchant he was also he's a cargo merchant he was if you will the transporter so if americans think you can
5:07 am
actually get secrets out of him they're very very very wrong you know the russians know there's the americans know this there's two ways to look at this or we're going to have a show trial of a get out of a closed door trial i think probably they're going to go for the show trial because again is a very useful piece of the mantel piece because as i said before it's a big trouble just a pawn of this global game where the end game is to get russia anyway and any means possible now is anyone still an investigative journalist and writer there. neoconservatives have been talking us foreign policy with a bush labor at a meeting in washington the right wingers have called to boost the enormous military budget fight threats coming from china and iran and question moscow's nuclear might and even a russian political outsider join in to help new cons work for a return of american dominance in the world neo conservative leaders came together for two days of quote restoring america's leadership in a democratic world without ever acknowledging the role their policies played in its
5:08 am
decline they reassured each other that china's rise didn't signal imperial demise were different from china you know we have a liberal regime we make mistakes all the time and we had you know there are things in our history for which we need to apologize and have apologized but at the end of the day think of ourselves as trying to promote human rights and lift all boats and prosperity and that's not how the chinese regime thinks of itself and they painted a rosy picture of their continued occupation of afghanistan and their ability to control afghan president hamid karzai despite new corruption charges and revelations electoral fraud cars i don't know which version one point zero of president karzai he was very amenable to listening to western advice then we've seen the emerging the last several years version two point zero of course which is a very different figure one who the west is in a sense we stepped away from our mentoring relationship him and became really someone adversarial they presented their typical it approach to russia and eminent threat but at the same time no match for u.s.
5:09 am
military might i don't worry about a remission the cold war i don't think it's going to happen one reason is i don't think the russians are capable of reading and words of imminent danger should the us close any of its eight hundred thirty seven military bases worldwide to reduce the four trillion dollar deficit my greatest fear is that in economic tough times the people will see the defense budget as the place to solve the nation's deficit problems. to find money for other parts of the government i think that would be disastrous in the world environment we see today and what we're likely to see in the years to come unquestionable too was america's nuclear arsenal well i hope that we have a world. without nuclear weapons i also hope that pigs fly just outside the gates of the white house the last two years ago in the presidential election neoconservatives gather here at this hotel to espouse much of the same rhetoric they had back with the threats of iran and china
5:10 am
a permanent presence in iraq and afghanistan and a skyrocketing defense budget i may have their foreign backers in the audience the new conservative view is that we need to go all out to eliminate one side and have a victory and then empower the people to to manage. their government and you agree with that view i definitely do among them were former foreign darlings of washington back for a pat on the back even as their influence faded at home i'm not a republican and democrat and. a member of solidarity well you can do what you want this is your country do what you world well i have my own view and my own proposals . american. establishment believes that this is important it will be great if they don't feel continue oh so it's no problem most tellingly democrat turned. senator joseph lieberman and praised president obama to me the story that in some ways
5:11 am
neither party wants to acknowledge muster courage as people of the time is that if you look back at the last two years the story of the obama foreign policy is as march continuity as change from the bush administration policy neo conservatives may be down but they're not out with republicans back in control of the house their foreign policy agenda is back on the table and ford artsy washington d.c. . and as the republicans breathe new life into old rhetoric the democrats are struggling to bring change and they're making a last ditch effort to push a key arms deal through congress before the end of the year by president joe biden has warned that failure to ratify the strategic arms reduction treaty with russia will endanger america's national security has been a false statements by republicans that the deal shouldn't be signed this year with some saying it should be dropped altogether the new start treaty was sealed in april and should slash the two country's nuclear arsenals by
5:12 am
a third but it won't come into force until ratified by both sides something moscow says it's been ready to do work for months republicans made significant gains in the midterm elections with few willing to cooperate with obama's democrats on the start treaty. let me and president says nato needs russia's help in order to move forward and this comes a hat of the alliance a summit in portugal where world leaders are expected to discuss a new strategy that he will tour believes that teaming up with moscow is an important step in achieving that. nato has to change and nato you know search for a mission for a long time after the ending of cold war did to me the question was if nato is necessary at all but the mission was never completely defined and i think that it cannot be considered to be defined without a true partnership with russia and we don't have a cold war anymore and we have to figure out what to do snooped partnership means
5:13 am
and i think that in this book in the coming days we should come closer to that definition. find out what else the slovenian president has to say about nato as well as that you next hour here in our team and more i have feel is our exploring space and we tell her you have so cold war tanks that they use our stand up to explore the moon and what they found out. plans for rescue package for ireland are being drawn out by eurozone finance ministers meeting in brussels members have vowed to support dublin where the struggling economy should request help the decision comes on the back of market fears that some smaller countries are not capable of paying back their massive debts earlier the president of the european union war and the irish debt crisis could cause an e.u. collapse that naylor leeland from a london based investment company says dublin may have
5:14 am
a little turn to buy to take the money. i don't really in in a position of much choice because clearly it's a sort of rock and a hard place so norio and the short term expediency of bailout so it's better than the. bond holders or or the immediate reactions of the situation but just you know you what you want to keep an eye on the fact that one country after another appears to be on a slow roast in terms of news flown in terms of the way the market is looking at this but my guess would be it's likely to be a short term situation for arlen because i believe that they will be forced to take bailout money and that will put them back probably bar in portugal in terms of the country being looked at most most closely that was then they were leaving from a london based investment company or financial analyst max kaiser says arlen should seek help from the institutions responsible for its demise. in last ireland's

5:16 am
equipped military which for a long time has been in need of an overhaul military experts respond to leaves the country doesn't feel safe but an armed lebanon certainly will either syria you know what israel. i think that both neighbors syria and the cereals they wouldn't be happy seeing that live on their army because they used to the fact they're living on these they're weak state that there is no strongarm you've got to come you've armed response obviously doesn't feel very much secure you do it's possible see reward you do the. research on the stump here due to the fact that some told them almost doesn't control the solving territory closed research that's why there are many frets to live on security but the majority of them they are not from external enemies but they are from the situation inside. now take a look at some other stories from around the world the iran is testing range

5:19 am
the lights were on day and night within these walls the soviet union had come up with a plan to send an unmanned rover to the moon but the question was how would it move around their familiar surface once it got there the solution was finally found at this institute when you do them first we want to do use caterpillars we used to make turnings and we loved tanks but it became clear that wheels were more reliable than caterpillars could get stuck that would ruin the whole mission and we couldn't afford to make a mistake or you learn to hold one popularly known as the luna tank was the first ever remote controlled rover to land on another celestial body. initially slated for a three month mission it will the lunar surface for eleven months during this time it traveled more than ten kilometers taken over twenty thousand images including sound with its own footprints. every loony morning once in twenty eight days

5:21 am
we wanted to get our wives flowers but we didn't have time there was so much work so our navigator suggested drawing a flower like shape on the moon with the rover and we present the women with the pictures he even told journalists that you could see the shape through a telescope but of course that wasn't true. you're going to. have to send in his last pictures back to earth the luna hold finally stopped in its tracks it's still there to this day but the little rovers tabs were a giant leap for mankind and the tracks it left on the moon's surface will forever remain a trail blazed for future explorers. we look forward to checking out the lunar supposed areas which weren't explored to the soviet era we know that water based on samples were found there we heard that one day they will allow us to set up an inhabited lunar base a lot of. back. in the nine hundred sixty s.

5:24 am
the gas market and wants to liberalize the transportation networks russia dislikes the idea but some experts believe there is little to fear but the price market's means to. an end to the markets continue but his hope to the market i think in this is in favor of gas probably because they are the big funnel to supply for europe and now they have also the chance to antithetical to the market to go to the customer to deliver the case to the customer. i think is a good development for you're up this early going to say she has also called for the trust in the customers to because gazprom is facing increased competition in europe particularly from alternative sources of gas production energy majors such as shell which traditionally focus on oil production amount paying more attention to developing their gas businesses i can or eject the fact that the share of gas revenues and their total structure total revenue structure of. oil and gas majors global made for stepping is increasing while oil revenues share is decreasing

a big economy we can and still have quite a big impact for the european economy as a whole and really what it comes down to is that conditions in our own got a lot worse from a financial market perspective what it could mean for the real economies elsewhere in europe is that what could actually happen to contagion so yes arlen has a problem but could impact possibly portugal even more so and eventually even spain so this is what the market is quite nervous about it's more about the contagion risk rather than just our story by itself. i'm funny let's take a quick look at the equity markets european stocks are mixed on wednesday following fools in asia on both streets of footsie it's too negative off the tumbling nearly two and a half percent on tuesday on concerns every europe's debt problems and the anticipation of more money she promised a tightening in china base materials on financials are lending some support on the dax in frankfurt. and here in moscow markets are mixed this out coming off the losses the all ts is still dipping lower but the my sex is a third of
