five pm in moscow this is art to you coming to you live let's get straight to our top story and russian businessman victor boot is being held in a high security prison in new york after his extradition from thailand dubbed the merchant of death for allegedly trafficking weapons around the world he faces life in prison on terrorism charges in america. the decision to hand him over to the u.s. is extreme and justice and promise to support him by all means a 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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 person perceives that under way that surprised victor good wife who now remains as to what is happening with her husband what will happen when

she will see head next we do get to speak with her here's what she said yes 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 the decision was paid for. what is come to light in this story with this story 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 noisy. so right now while many are questioning what due process and the u.s.

is really all about. well daniel is still an investigative journalist and writer says the u.s. will use to make their boots trial for their own interests i can't possibly see how it would be a fair trial because again americans have 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 will 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 of victor borge as a merchant of death as a hollywood phenomenon the trouble is not an arms merchant he was also he's a cargo merchant he was if you will the transporter so if americans think you can 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 all we're

going to have a show trial of we're going to have a closed door trial i think probably they're going to go for the show trial because again is a very useful piece of mantel 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 any way and any means possible. but it's there and victor boot from daniel is still an investigative journalist and writer. following republican gains in the recent u.s. midterm elections neo conservatives have been trumpeting u.s. foreign policy with a bush flavor at the meeting in washington the threat of china and iran and rustles nuclear might we're all the subject of hawkish rhetoric with the right winger saying the trillion dollar deficit shouldn't be paid off using any of the country's massive military budget. 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 decline they reassured each other that china's rise didn't signal imperial demise

we're just come from china you know we have a liberal regime we make mistakes all the time and we've 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 we 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 or mentoring lation with 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. military might i don't worry about

a read in 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 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 too 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 election neoconservatives gathered 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 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 a democrat and. a member of solidarity well you can do what you want this is your country do want to work 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 we will continue oh so it's no problem most tellingly a democrat turned. senator joseph lieberman of praise president obama to me the story that in some ways 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. . well while republicans are looking back to the future the democrats are struggling to bring change president joe biden joined the voices calling on the senate to approve a key arms deal before the end of the year he warned that failure to ratify the strategic arms reduction treaty with russia will endanger america's national security earlier a key republican senator whose party made significant gains in midterm elections said he would not support a quick vote on the deal that's a blow to the obama administration who made the weapons agreement one of their top

priorities 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 both countries something moscow says it's been ready to do for months let's get more on this we're now joined live by dmitri trenin who's the director of the moscow carnegie center thanks for being with us obama struggled with afghanistan iran the middle east to name a few russia and the new start treaty was a rare foreign policy success for him i think we could say so is blocking the treaty just a move to undermine the president. who i think. it's really a shame. that major treaty that's certainly not the interest of the united states as it is in the national interests of russia it's got the political crossfire you in washington d.c. this is this is on the body. but this is also a blow against the credibility of the united states of america. really. very

very sorry that this is what's what's happening at this point why do you think republicans want to undermine president obama what's in it for them. well i think. obama's. conclusion of a major arms control treaty with russia. is personal success. just what it was was a success for the democratic administration watch it is. what they missed i think is that it's also a major. success for the united states of america this this is troubling frankly what's been happening recently if the current senate fails to ratify the treaty is there any chance the next one with even more republicans in power will be approved next year. will be such treaties normally. approved

by bipartisan support this is what happened during the cold war. this is what in principle should happen. after the cold war and it's not a partisan document so you don't need for a treaty like that you need to work across the aisle and either a much whole tour or everything is not last year. the treaty can you sell that don't go that you use a major blow as i said. it will not lead to a major rupture it will not lead to the end of arms control. was just talking about a little bit more if it's not solved is how in more detail will this affect russia and the u.s. is reset. well the research is a more than arms control the reset is more than the new start treaty it's a more of a symbol down though the heart of the research the research as understood in russia

is a more pragmatic approach by the united states to its relations with russia its willingness to operate on the basis of u.s. interests but also. taking into account the interests of their partners and that as long as this like opinion is and i certainly hope that it will continue under the obama administration we'll about what happens with the senate as long. is this good did you use the relationship will work of did you do. if how were we see a change of guard lie if we see. that characterized. the policies of the previous a good as true should. be and i think we will see the different era of us vs evolution it's all right well we'll continue to keep our eye out for dimitri kranti and director of the moscow carnegie center thanks for that. britain says it's ready to help debt hit are the and with billions of pounds of

direct loans and a meeting of european finance ministers chancellor george osborne said it's in britain's interest to support their closest neighbor the meeting comes amid fresh market turmoil and fear some smaller economies like portugal and ireland are unable to service their massive debts the e.u. president warned the eurozone is actually facing a fight to survive and even though are that has so far rejected any help now there is leyland a london based investor says dublin may have little alternative but to take the money. i think we're really in the position of of much choice because clearly it's a sort of a rock and a hard place so norio and the short term expediency of bail out so it's better than the. bond holders all 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 financial analyst max kaiser believes are the insurance seek help from the institutions responsible for its demise. unless 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 capitalists and terrorist bankers and ireland is quitting in its boots and the government unfortunately in our lives not standing up for the people it's abdicated its role as representative of the people the the i.m.f. and the 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 ireland needs to divorce itself from these financial terrorists and stand on its own two feet. well you can see more of max kaiser at r.t. dot com here's a taste of what else you'll find online right now extreme situation christians in israel are caught in the fire between jews and muslims as they get targeted by radicals. plus russian police detained two teenagers suspected of killing a man by throwing up a real on the tenth floor of an apartment building for more head to our dot com. let's take a look at some other stories dominating world news this hour israel has decided to withdraw its troops from the northern part of a village on the border with lebanon but guards our village was split into two by the u.n. blue line local people say they want their homeland to be undivided as many families

robots also known as lunar tanks roamed the moon surface revolutionizing space exploration. reports back in the nine hundred sixty s. . 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 the base institute when steve goutam 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 have food to make a mistake or you know luna had one popularly known as the luna tank was the first ever remote controlled berbera to landed 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 loon morning once in twenty eight days when the sun's rays touch the lunar held solar panel it would wake up bape. hello only solid and silent world and set off a new adventure. exactly wait what had was decided far away at the mission control center in the crimea. just left of going to was one of the five men in her team which also included and never get her and ten operator and two engineers. luna hordes camera film the moon surface and send a black and white pictures back to earth with a delay of more than twenty seconds once so we had to judge the situation using this picture of a horde stood still we got basic info on what was going on outside stones the

course of movement craters and other such things after that the drug would choose the next one which could offer to. the first steps were difficult but in time it seems the team's work became more creative what's more. we once on women's day we wanted to get our wives flowers but we didn't have time that 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. they're going to. have to send in his last pictures back to earth the luna hold finally stopped in his tracks it's still there to these day but the little rovers tabs were a giant leap for mankind and the tracks it left on the moon surface will forever remain a trail blazed for future explorers. we look forward to checking out the lunar so

polar areas which were only explored to the soviet era we know that water based on samples were found that we had that one day they will allow us to set up uninhabited lunar base or look. back. nine hundred sixty is the do you suppose we're sending both people machines to the stars and back with only one go to their billions of dollars to spend in the race to leave one another behind decades old and its old friends the full phone flying space now united nations against the big go to both to go together where no one has gone before. the morse code st petersburg. and that rose up our main news block time now to update you on the latest business news to rose here next. hello welcome to the business news i'm sure on account of want to go straight to our top story the european union wants to liberalize its gas market and make it

easier for independent producers to access the pipeline network for gas prodding the world's largest producer may no longer be enough to guarantee its dominance of the market nick pool reports. last year gazprom sells to you about twelve percent due to the financial downturn demand is now recovering but at the same time the russian gas monopoly is facing ever stiffer competition the european union favors diversity in the gas market wants to liberalize the transportation networks russia dislikes the idea but some experts believe there is little to fear markets means to . an end to the markets continue but he's quick to deny that i think in the end this is in favor of gas probably because they are the backbone of the supply of fuel and now they have also the chance to take to the market that will do the cost some of the delay but it has to the cost. i think is a good development for europe this summer 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 made just such a show which traditionally focused on oil production and now paying more attention to developing their gas businesses i can reject the fact that the share of gas revenues and the total structure total revenue structure of. oil and gas majors global majors at pink is increasing while oil revenue share is decreasing actually the main competition for gazprom in europe crowd is not from oil and gas majors themselves accounts from qatar elegy producers for african and gas producers gazprom is not unaware of the problems it faces in europe and its believe it needs to be more flexible in its pricing and long term contracts something the company is reluctant to do for the moment instead it's focusing on diversifying its customer base in the fast growing markets of asia india. business on t.v.
