this is our day coming to live from moscow i'm marina joshie welcome to the program tackling its identity crisis by presenting a new strategic vision is the goal of the nato summit which is set to open imports . created more than sixty years ago to counter the cold war threat of the soviet union the alliance is now in a search of a clear contemporary goal as lauren lyster reports. it's the biggest and oldest military alliance in modern times but when you think about what it's places in the world today. the answer. the answer doesn't come easily and not just for one speechless american official decades after the cold war ended with no common enemy originally supposed to define i defend western europe against the soviet union nato allies have been at a loss for a new one and at a loss for a clear purpose it is one of identity crisis for

a while we can severely by the seemingly endless afghan war with nato members growing weary in countries such as canada and the netherlands pulling troops out the power of the block is in question. in many of the places in the world we're seeing the. lack of. ability to transform. the depths and perhaps the consequences of a growing group of now twenty eight nations driven together but still largely led by the interests of one a divided states whose trying to use need to. directly tries to use need to his dogs in the to fulfill american missions yet everyone feels the strain and with goals not laid out since before the attacks on nine eleven which drove the alliance into war there's not much that's concrete to guide an organization seemingly in crisis which is just one reason why now when lisbon this meeting matters here at the nato summit the alliance will try to buy from modern relevance

with the promise of new strategic goals but also here in lisbon are another group of international critics who believe that there is no place for nato in the twenty first century reiner. brown is planning an anti nato protest you know i think there is no place for nato i think there is no place for me who lives any longer in the world because you console of any of the global problems with military not and nato was now looking to an old foe for help solving its problems with all drop which. emerged as a basically a one of the global players it's impossible for them to deal with such. issues like the war on going war in afghanistan they're looking to russia for help with supply routes in fighting the drug trade and now an organization that famously touted a mission of keeping the russians out and the americans in needs the russians in

afghanistan to help americans get out i'm not sure what nato is in the twenty first century and i think it's i was dated and without a major rethinking of its goals policies and missions and alliances looking for a new place in the world may find itself and. the answer. fumbling along without one born mr r.t. lisbon portugal. now we can discuss the upcoming nato summit with danny boy john a vice rector of the russian foreign minister is diplomatic academy of getting thanks very much different joining us here today so let's now talk about the nato and its future role in the twenty first century in more detail especially russia's play in its new strategy. we hope that in the twenty first century nato will start treating russia as a partner in the cool part and i think that there is a good basis for developing our relations in this direction because we don't have

any ideological differences we built a democratic society with a market economy and i think the west wants russia to go along this road and we have very intense if you cannot make social and other ties with nato countries and to have a very concrete security agenda which the united major countries so i think the basis for new relations between russia and. nato is that what can we expect from the summit in lisbon can we expect any breakthroughs or perhaps maybe new foundations for the future cooperation like there well i think that there is a chance that it will be a new foundation that both sides are ready for a new beginning and there's no need to go in to adopt a new document which we will get the basis of activities of the organization of the twenty first century i would hope that russia will be treated in that document as a real partner and it will be very important if it happens and i think it will open

your distrust for relations between us and nato countries well not so long ago anderson underlined the importance of cooperation between nato and russia and just recently we see that the cooperation between the two is on the rise especially when it comes to our cooperation in terms of ghana standing who gets a supplier of their support in the fight against illegal drug production but what does this cooperation bring to russia what does russia get out of this security of russia and security for. allies in central asia depend on the situation in afghanistan we have to defeat their terrorism we have to defeat extremism and we have to defeat drug trade coming from the beginning stance of russia to other countries so we look at ten metres apart in fighting to say evils so it's extremely important for us to have described there would need to anybody else china for example to fight those evil sin against make it to block and

you mentioned drug thing there is a problem afghanistan there has repercussions in russia but do both see eye to watch how to tackle this problem and if not why well because some people in the west some militarists know this is they think that many people that i'm going to stand depends on drug production so if you take drugs from them they will go to terrorists and of course russia cannot accept this kind of strategy and we put pressure on the west to fight drug trade because it's a good evil for us and i think that recently we've had some achievements we had joint operations with nato countries against drug production producers but why is the coalition reluctant to eradicate it poppy fields well it's not because they feel they think that those presence of those people who grow drugs if you take a dislike livelihood means from them don't go to take it doesn't that mean that we'll never break through this vicious circle well it's difficult but we'll try because the drug problem is not only for us it's also for europe and the souls of

america. so somehow we have to we have to do something for this presence and take drugs from them and you give them some other choice and go lives like it used to be done in thailand with those people who just relied on the drug production and later some of them became just peaceful normal presence all right thanks very much indeed running out of time unfortunately vice rector of the russian diplomatic cademy thank you very much for a view spinner to thank you. thank you. ching artemia live from moscow here's a peek at the peculiar case of a russian businessman labeled as a merchant of death which we'll be covering it later about what is now has to head with the u.s. justice system as russia calls for us our best. i mean times a dad stricken united states struggles with economic downturn and more americans are beginning to wonder where all their taxpayer money is going u.s. is funding too costly overseas wars bailing out private companies and banks but

that's not all art is done half as reports of how washington is investing its cash in revolutionary ways. this is what u.s. backed regime change used to look like back in the days in a bid to ensure u.s. political and economic interests were safeguarded cia backed coup d'etat was announced a democratically elected leaders from hama knows a doc in iran to sell the door again day in chile. by the one nine hundred eighty s. the reign of terror that blazed across latin america by washington's henchmen was too much for most people to stomach to replace the overt support for dictatorships a new concept for regime change was born one that sounds and looks better democracy promotion dr william robinson is the foremost expert on regime change to democracy promotion he wrote the book promoting poly arche might an american. eastern europe with a velvet revolutions in africa in the middle east or really all over all over the

world and so the us set up these different mechanisms now for penetrating the civil societies and the political systems that don't have countries that are going to be intervened and to assure that the outcomes would be pleasing to do washington's foreign policy objectives we do this through surrogates and we do this through non-governmental organizations and we do it through people who are less suspecting of the evil that may lurk behind their actions then perhaps they were before. have we learned some lessons of our guard you bet do we do it better you bet is it still just as i mean this is it always was you bet so while the goals remain the same it's no longer the cia but the u.s. agency for international development and its partners spearheading this effort like the cia usa id the national endowment for democracy and the slew of similar organizations receive funding from congress millions and millions of u.s. taxpayer dollars go every year into funding for political organizations who

campaigns in different countries around the world that promote u.s. agenda and most us citizens are unaware of the fact that that's how their money's being spent to meddle and influence and interfere in other nations affairs the concept of facilitating regime change to democracy promotion has garnered widespread criticism not just abroad but also here at home when you're terrible we used taxpayers' money to go over and use our military and our cia and these programs to say this is what you ought to do and influence and there's no authority for that it doesn't work it was a lot of people to despise us to have our team washington d.c. and a little later in the program we'll tell you how it can marry put a russian woman behind bars find out why she's serving your sentence and how she can get a second chance with russian review's it's criminal code. russia's foreign ministry

says it wants to get a fair trial for a businessman victor borge the alleged claims he's been put under severe pressure by u.s. authorities to admit charges of arms trafficking and terrorism which he will pass the night after being extradited from thailand earlier this week he's now in solitary confinement in a new york prison moscow says it will offer consular help to book the trial will begin the town of january next year has the latest from new york. the case surrounding viktor bout has been quite a tug of war between russia and the u.s. and the presidential aide to dmitri medvedev recently spoke out saying that the charges that the u.s. have leverage against victor boot a russian citizen a serious and russia would like for those charges to be thoroughly investigated and russia is providing assistance to victor boot but russian officials have underscored the fact that that does not mean or should not be translated into a meeting that moscow believes victor boot is innocent or guilty they are just

trying to make sure that no laws are being violated and russian officials also said that they have nothing to hide in this circumstance the situation they're being very transparent and some have accused the u.s. of not being very transparent when it comes to picture boots extradition from thailand to new york you're right there will be. willing to stress to the u.s. authorities of some very serious. russian citizen we have nothing to can sue we do consider this case is anything of the cooling we want to see this investigation for . the u.s. he will be given food to. students who were there the me we have claiming he's innocent moscow is also accusing washington of a double standard so we have to remember boot forty three year old russian citizen is being accused of smuggling weapons to fork rebels that would have been used to

kill americans yet russian officials say that washington did provide georgia with several weapons many weapons that were used during the war in. which hundreds of civilians were killed so obviously a very contentious and sensitive situation surrounding victor and right now many are speculating about the fact of whether we can get a fair trial in the u.s. . now reporting there from new york and in just a few moments our team brings you report from the scene of the world's worst nuclear accident that's to give a rat's churn novel is for the environment and whether it has the potential to unleash another catastrophe. russia's criminal code is undergoing a makeover with manny of the countries for his and so we're following authorities are introducing new methods of audition and this means that most criminals and first on a fan of us may not have to serve long sentences are met some of these prisoners

who say they are hoping for a second chance the fourteen hundred women serving time here have one thing in common at some point in their life they all made a bad choice well you know i went over to my friend's house to get some mind back that he owed me but he refused to pay up so he didn't have any. canary bird seed in there and i took it as collateral leader the police came and said i stole it after breaking and entering the price for a stolen canary bird bus instead of that i was sentenced to three years in prison and i'm currently serving out my first. this extraordinary specter brushes legislation that's been questioned by many including the country's lawmakers a system of alternative punishment for a lesser crimes in the works with people found guilty of minor law violations facing fines and house arrest rather than jail time used up to get only you can put someone in prison because the chicken our legal system is with these things and

effectively there are harsh punishments for small misdemeanors and in some cases we're going instruments which are too late for meter crimes we need to balance out the system because despite recent statistics crime is on the rise. add that to overflowing prisons abysmal health conditions on the inside tougher integration into society after serving time and the true nature of this problem becomes even more evident even financially that reform makes sense according to official data over a million people are currently imprisoned in russia with twenty percent serving up to three years for misdemeanors substituting their jail time with house arrest will free up the prisons lessen the burden of taxpayers and most importantly not give people. a reason to fall. if a person goes following some. of the certain circumstances because he comes out as a lifelong criminal because but he said we have relevance to the amounts to thirty

to forty percent at the very least i mean almost half of them would become criminals. but there's much to do before these amendments get implemented into the legal system the electronic surveillance bracelets for example. positioning system and it's not yet ready neither is the legal system with law enforcement not yet capable of the required visual surveillance the proposition to stop throwing those found guilty of minor crimes behind bars is something that the women in this penitentiary can definitely get behind but even if the law is implemented the people serving time now may have to face the fact that they will have to serve and pay their debt to society in full without enjoying the benefits of an alternative punishment catarina r.t. moscow region. and some more world news a brief word here in r t protesters in the capital have rocks of u.n.

radioactive emissions into atmosphere this structure the circle focus was built in nine hundred eighty six just months after the disaster that you know build nuclear power blog back then experts predicted that this would last for only twenty years until two thousand and six that is but it was strengthened and improved extending its lifetime for five more years the biggest question is how much nuclear fuel remains under the surface some experts believe that there is none as most of it did very polarizing to the atmosphere and was spread around the chernobyl exclusion zone but many experts believe that there are ninety five percent of nuclear fuel still remaining under the surface and that could be tons and tons of nuclear material. we believe that the nuclear fuel under the sea configures is no longer solid mass like it was twenty four years ago there now is more a three layers of dispersed ernest so should the person circle for good scripts we could see a very powerful explosion of facilities as powerful as

a nuclear one. in order to avoid another catastrophe europe invested in the building of a new confinement in two thousand and seven french company was allowed to store the construction of an arch like steel structure to cover the facility three years later the project is underway with more than five hundred engineers building the new circle for good next to the contaminated plant it won't be just the crane yeah it will be a technological complex as multi-functional crew. the system will be installed inside the new structure eight. finals cap the new safe confinement should provide the bottom of the works in far the project's initial cost was thought to be half a billion year old now sources in chernobyl report that figure has almost doubled but in the fight for the continent safety no some is too much the new confinement

is expected to be completed by the year twenty thirteen and is expected to last for another hundred years the only question is what is the fate of the nuclear power plant in chernobyl some say that it may be dismantled under this new dome but that is only a speculation for now we only heard that this is a process which may take another seventy years and there are no technologies to this date which would allow this to happen. at sea reporting from the church noble exclusion zone in ukraine. we're up to date and karina's here are the latest business news. welcome to the program here on main stories this hour u.s. federal reserve chairman ben bernanke has defended the decision to print six hundred billion dollars insisting it will boost the world economy critics say this is a move to intentionally devalue the u.s.

interest and what should be done to attract more firms. first of all where inviting our partners and our boys these are the companies like boeing and us goodrich and rolls royce this fully corresponds with their aims to cut costs in some sense this will require investment but in the following three to four years as they will get more advanced products plus the list of incentives provided in the free economic zone is extensive and attractive place especially from those companies already interested in investing in the russian federation. and that's all the update for now stay with us here for a look at headline news up next. the .
