i learn to fly. already the european union warns of economic collapse if our land and the whole e.u. don't have their of the economic storm. it's three pm here in moscow this is r t coming to you live with me needs to know why first stop russian businessmen and gun running suspect victor boot has been put in a new york jail after extradition from thailand moscow insists the thai decision to hand him over to u.s. authorities was illegal and says it will continue to fight for him if convicted brut could face life behind bars. 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
7:03 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 boots guilt was not proven to be the government has still decided to hand him over to the u.s. like consider this unprecedented political pressure on the legal process and on
7:04 am
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. shortly after the extradition was underway us state officials 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 but 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 good
7:05 am
wife who now remains 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. 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.
7:06 am
has been aggressively campaigning to get him extradited and. so right now while many are questioning what due process and the u.s. is really all about. well daniel a student an investigative journalist and writer says the u.s. is trying to make victor boot a scapegoat i can't possibly see how it would be a fair trial because i get americans i've spent ten years actually tried to get their 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 whole but again he won't go home i mean the whole idea victor 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
7:07 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 mantle piece because as i said before it's a big debate is just a pawn of this global game where the end game is to get russia anyway and any means possible. but it's there on victor boot from daniel a stool and who is an investigative journalist and writer. neoconservatives have been talking to us foreign policy with a bush waiver 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 joined in to help neo 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
7:08 am
a democratic world without ever acknowledging the role their policies played in its decline they reassured each other that china's rise didn't signal imperial demise were to come 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 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 what was 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
7:09 am
someone adversarial they presented their typical it approach to russia and eminent threat but at the same time no match for u.s. military might i don't worry about every mission the cold war i don't think it's going to happen one reasons i don't think the russians are capable of reading and warned of an 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 to it was america's nuclear arsenal well i hope that we have a world. without nuclear weapons i also hope that page. just outside the gates of the white house the last two years ago in the presidential
7:10 am
election neoconservatives gather here at this hotel to espouse much of the same rhetoric they had back with the threats of iran and china a permanent presence in iraq and afghanistan and a skyrocketing defense budget and they had their foreign backers in the audience d. 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 republican and democrats and i. remember the dirty well you can do what you want this is your country do want to work well i have my view and my own proposals. american. establishment believes that this is important it will be great if they don't we will continue oh so it's no problem most tellingly
7:11 am
a democrat turned. senator joseph lieberman of praise president obama to me the story that in some ways neither party wants to knowledge unless their courage is people like what i write is that if you look back at the last two years the story of the obama foreign policy is as marks 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 in ford artsy washington d.c. . as republicans breathe new life into old red rock the democrats are struggling to bring change 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 new strategic arms reduction treaty with russia will endanger america's national security while his plea follows statements by republicans that the deal should be signed this year with some saying it should
7:12 am
be dropped altogether the new start treaty was sealed in april and would slash the two country's nuclear arsenals by a third but it won't come into force until ratified by lawmakers on both sides something moscow says it's been ready to do for months republicans made significant gains in midterm elections with few willing to cooperate with obama's democrats on that start treaty. but slovenian president says nato needs russia's help in order to move forward this comes ahead of the alliance a summit in portugal where world leaders are expected to discuss a new strategy the new low tar believes that teaming up with moscow is an important step and it's even better. later has to change and nato is in a 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
7:13 am
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 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 the e.u. next hour right here on r.t. . plans for a rescue package for our loans are being drawn up by the eurozone finance ministers in brussels members have vowed to support dublin with a struggling economically khana me i should say shouldn't 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 warns the irish crisis could cause a collapse now i've now learned ladling from a london based investment company says dublin may have little alternative but to
7:14 am
take the money. i don't really in the position of of much choice because clearly it's a sort of a rock and a hard place. and the short term expediency. so it's better than the. bondholders. 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. in terms of news flown in terms of the way the markets looking at this but my guess would be it's likely to be a short 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. mad now learned leyland from a london based investment company their own financial analyst max kaiser says arlen should seek help from the institutions responsible for its demise. unless ireland's
