danger of the dome covering the disaster site as it's expiring date for the potentially deadly sins. this is r.t. broadcasting live from moscow with the news that shaped the week president medvedev a says the hostile period between russia and nato is over he told the bloc gathering in portugal this weekend that he's agreeing to boost collaboration one of the most divisive issues missile defense the summit smooth was decidedly more co-operative than of the eight but there are still issues which they get to see eye to eye on as they are in this to reports. nato rolled out the red carpet for the country once considered its. and russian president dmitri

medvedev arrived at the summit of the former cold war military alliance to leaders of welcoming him with open arms and a plea cooperate with us. let us do this together leaders on both sides seem to indicate they plan to do just that after nato russia talks they hailed as historic today marks a true fresh start in nato russia relations. it spells out our desire to pursue strategic partnership and its means we have overcome the difficulties of the past missile defense plans under the bush white house provoked the most serious rift between russia and nato since the cold war well now the alliance wants russia to join in its plans but russia wants more than just sweet words made the good body we have agreed with our nato partners that's what we'll pursue dialogue of the european a.b.m. our main guide here should be that our birth dissipation ought to be equal and i

will stress this it can only be as partners no other form of participation for the sake of appearance is acceptable either we participate fully we exchange information take part in decision making or we do not participate atoll. the u.s. reset of relations with russia has brought nato to moscow once the great enemy but now courted as a keep potential ally together we've worked hard to reset the relations between the united states and russia which is led to concrete benefits for both our nations now we're also resetting the nato russia relationship we see russia as a partner not an adversary russia and nato have reiterated common challenges to be fought from the spread of weapons of mass destruction to terrorism what's most significant is what's not on the list each other. russia has pledged more help to nato in afghanistan with transport

access and more resources to fight narcotics there and for the first time in pakistan despite all the warm words there are still differences notably over the south as such in conflict over two years ago nato backed georgia which russian forces were forced to fight after the civilian population came under attack and while nato seeks new purpose and allies others say the alliance belongs in the past another two crosses as sort of consubstantial to nato has existed certainly since the fall of the burden of war how this was for use and against whom it's a tool to measure problems from nature and of course what it does politically and militarily is that of reinforces a place for the time being the imbalance between the us continues to spend a lot of the military and european nato member states some of which have become to cut back very drastically crowd there's no greater example of the discontent with nato it's called a good week here on this date that lisbon would they be filled thousand run i mean

you are protesting the alliance and it i mean. we don't want to we don't think it's necessary it's for example for us to sit with a country in crisis is spending so much money on something it's cold war what we have is a very powerful military alliance with no democratic accountability the lead is announcing this statements no problem it is going to get a child to vote on it and as a result everyone's military expenditure is going to go up the message is entirely wrong that nato is out of date now out of time we need a world of peace and justice not one of preparing for yet wars and after introducing a new strategic concept to high hopes at the summit nato's challenge now is to turn concept into reality where top on the list is forging a lasting partnership with russia lauren lyster r.t.

lisbon portugal. well russia's nato envoy believes they're in you're all in relations between moscow and the alliance they at least guarantee greater security of the country's western borders. now after we have lived through the conflict and south of setia on a sharp decline in relations it turns out we might have needed such a test on the one hand these events have shown that old nato policies were provoking such an adequate regimes like the suckers really warm to bloody actions on the other hand nato did not get involved in this conflict because europeans did not support the most aggressive part of the bush administration for us nato was a big headache it used to be an enemy now an unpredictable partner the left hand of which doesn't know what the right handers doing we are tired of this we want more stability and security on our western borders and in the long run maybe even certainty that there will be no trouble at toll i think the americans are finally heard of this. american antiwar campaigners believe the u.s.

is trying to offload the responsibility for its actions in afghanistan to nato brian becker from the unser coalition says president obama's administration is twisting europe's arm to keep them onside in the increasingly costly war. nato is functioning basically as a fig leaf for us foreign policy and u.s. military strategy north atlantic treaty organization afghanistan where one hundred fifty thousand so-called nato troops there really american troops with some auxilary forces are are there there is a branding of that operation that u.s. military operation to make it look as if the world has come together to show against a shared objective against the war on terror against al qaeda but really i believe that nato is nothing but a fig leaf for u.s. military strategy and many of the other nato countries all over europe those populations they don't want to go along they don't want their governments that be accomplices for the u.s. war in afghanistan so the obama administration is twisting arms and lisbon is

putting pressure on the different european governments not to abandon the american government as it continues its war in afghanistan. the nato secretary general also brought up the importance of a nuclear adduction treaty between russia and the us and this for rasmussen poll that has been silent that any did lane ratifying would damage the security of the entire region president obama says there's no good reason why the deal can't be passed by the u.s. congress the treaty would see the two countries nuclear arsenal slashed third is being stalled in washington as newly elected republicans now outweigh or bombs democrats nuclear security expert told r.t. and although president obama faces an uphill battle it's more a question of when and if ratification happens. this this treaty is good for european for american and for russian security it's the logical extension from original start treaty that lapsed last december and there is now no official very

clear verification treaty between the two countries so this this this treaty maintains takes on arms control for full and and takes the first step in a very long road to that is around obama's vision so he's certainly not about trying to score political points here he's exposed himself to some extent to two opponents who do seem to be trying to use this treaty themselves to score political points against him very very difficult political situation but i have to say if that treaty comes up for ratification on the floor of the senate will pass the debate is when it comes up for votes and the objections are largely about not having enough time to properly scrutinize the treaty senators have had eight or nine months to do this it's plenty of time compared to previous treaties so it really is quite

baffling as to whether there really any concrete objections to this treaty coming from the senate. coming up later in the program reaction to sarah palin's hints that she's lining ourselves up for another stab at running for the white house. if she does become president how do you feel. the rest tasks people in new york what would happen if pain doesn't speak. and a stop in the countdown to collapse as islands economics travel becomes europe's biggest headache money bosses descend on dublin to fix its troubled. russian business men then the alleged arms smuggler big to boot has pleaded not guilty to charges including terrorism and arms trafficking he was hastily extradited to the u.s. from bangkok earlier this week and is now in solitary confinement in new york wasco is demanding

a fair trial and says it will continue to provide consular assistance. takes up the story. a two and a half year campaign to get one russian citizen accused arm dealer victor boot begins to face american justice victor boot came into u.s. custody on tuesday set to stand trial on arms smuggling and terrorism charges one conspiring to kill united states nationals two conspiring to kill united states officers and employees three conspiring to use an acquire anti-aircraft missiles and for conspiring to provide material support to the fark meantime the u.s. to stands accused of breaking laws to grab the russian businessman organizing a swift extradition from thailand involving some fifty federal agents and u.s. marshals keeping the operation a secret from boots lawyer family and russian officials.

despite two rulings in thailand's criminal court saying victor boot guilt was not proven and the thai government has still decided to hand him over to the u.s. i consider this unprecedented political pressure on the legal process and on thailand's government in moscow has dubbed the extradition of their citizen are striking in justice boot a former army officer was arrested in bangkok in march two thousand and eight in a sting operation involving american law enforcement officials all aboot who didn't get a chance to say goodbye to her husband in thailand accuses the u.s. of kidnapping as a political form of a court up when you are short of it age this operation was illegal it was done after lobbying from the u.s. blood was shipped to the united states if he was just a thing without his documents and with the russian embassy being informed. and during his transfer to new york who claims that u.s. officials attempted to force a confession from him as part of

a possible plea bargain. according to victor boot during the extradition there were attempts to convince him to make a confession of the crimes he had never committed promising some privileges in return but mr boot rejected these offers in new york federal court on wednesday the forty three year old cargo dealer denied all charges but is being held in solitary confinement at a federal prison in lower manhattan with legal assistance from the russian consul a top kremlin official stressed that moscow is demanding fair treatment for its citizens while not getting involved in the allegations but faces like your picture which i want to stress to the u.s. authorities of course in very serious and profound charges against this russian citizen we have nothing to conceal we don't consider this case a state or anything of the kind that we want to see this investigation finalists has to answer all the questions raised by the u.s.

he will be given protection in consular assistance however that doesn't mean we are claiming he's innocent you know. while many have speculated as to why washington wants but so badly opinions have very populous monopoly this is a question of principle they've spent ten years of spending money taxpayer money on trying to root out gun runners so they have to have someone to show for it and they chose victory over a political were because i understand that there was significant amount of political pressure by the us to put on the tar government but i assure you that will be nothing. compared to the pressure that the united states is going to. distribute to cooperate with the u.s. forces already it's against others the chances of a fair trial for victor boot are already in question with u.s. media and the prosecutor portraying him as a villain the so-called merchant of death is now

a federal inmate there all those seeking to provide some cold comfort victor boot is of course presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty the fate of viktor booths future will be sealed in this new york federal courthouse his next hearing is scheduled to take place in january if convicted the russian citizen faces twenty five years to life behind bars burning up or not artsy new york. well military defense lawyer major eric these a case could become a pandora's box he says if the u.s. fails to show fairness to other country's citizens it will be hard to protect its own there are number of cases that the united states is unhappy with and what we're running into is this dangerous precedent where if if we're exercising this type of authority over individuals in other countries what's going to happen in the future to u.s. citizens and whether or not other countries are going to demand extradition of our

citizens you know people who they think are criminals for example in the last administration and demanding their extradition to spain or italy or some other country and how can we as a straight face an international community have it both ways if the justice department didn't do their job properly and get this one right you know it certainly could open up a can of worms for us in the future. more coverage and analysis of that story at r.t. dot com right now here are some of the other features were lining up for you this weekend lord meeting for sale as it's revealed almost a third of russian cosmetics and dangerous flakes are warning for shoppers in mice by cheap price tags risking their health with poisonous chemicals. plus why this soap opera in the sea is raising the heartbeat of so many russians more than the headline grabbing spy and chapman details that are tied up.

the euro has again come perilously close to sinking as arlen's economy teeters on the brink of collapse even leaders are now looking at ways of saving the irish banking system which is seen best as fleet doubling repeatedly denied it was in serious trouble insisting it have enough cash to last until at least next year portugal and spain want to add in to accept the multi billion euro betty that i missed or come to the markets critics say are and is being forced into a corner economists agree. on and can fund itself but now. it's quite clear that britain as well as other european countries right now are trying to almost force upon island some sort of an agreement that is going to extend their access to capital. after the second year in the second half of next

year when island is going to run into liquidity problems contra so it's we have to see it's going to go that way islander saying right now that doesn't need the money and it's correct in the sense that it doesn't have a liquidity problem right now but. but that's that's for now and we are probably going to see a different picture going to emerge the sooner we get to first first of july next year the problem right now for ireland is basically that the government has taken on responsibilities and basically underwritten all the debts that its banks had taken on up to the crisis and there are justified fears on the markets that that the government actually can all move all sorts of debt has been taken on i mean the fiscal deficit has all of the skyrocketing we know that the problems in the banking sector is far from over the banks are under capitalized and because of me is still weak recovery is is is fragile which means that unless there will be no significant

pick up in the economy in the next year or so we're going to find a government in the second half of next year which still has problems with the under-capitalized banks and then need to start to roll over debt in order to finance its fiscal deficit and then we're going to have serious problem in the economy. communities are among the most persecuted in the world those who live in bulgaria the situations especially dire with their homes destroyed and desperate lack of basic health care i don't know bush will discover it. seems like we could become common across europe the mood of this town in southern belle geary told r.t. he had to tear down this block of flats because the room the residence who turned it into a slum. this pile of rubble is all that's left of the housing estate what also it is called a public health hazard in fifty with rats cockroaches and fleas thousands of roma

a crane the life of the people campaign is one that most roma sent by russians and other states can't integrate as there aren't enough jobs for them and bog area of education opportunities limited music remains one of their few past success. a racy gypsy style of pop called child tops the chops but campaigners say ethnic conflicts are set to surge until the e.u. learns to live and work with roma not just enjoy the music in the nightclubs the new bushel party saffir. well there is more to come for you next hour including a brutal mass murder in southern russia a businessman and his private army are arrested for twelve killings friends and relatives blame local officials for corruption and negligence. it's regarded as the birthplace of international law now the place where senior nazis were tried for

radicalism extremism nearer naziism and all that. developments which sometimes take place in certain european countries. in the us now sarah palin lost out in her campaign to be america's vice president but is now doing the media rounds and force suggesting a comeback to cut her chances of two thousand and twelve white house aides laura halfassed has been gauging views in new york. sarah palin has a reality show her daughter is on a reality show and she has a new book coming out with all this promotion it seems like she might be gearing up to run in two thousand and twelve do you think she's a viable candidate for president of the united states this week let's talk about that i think absolutely she could not be president. i don't think that she has the

smarts i don't think if she has the political backing i think that she's made a career out of being. a t.v. personality and i think that when it comes to the brass tacks the republicans will not nominate her so you don't even think she'll get that far when it comes to the nomination you know i do not stranger things could happen but she's not getting my vote do you think she'll get enough votes. possibly possibly how do you feel about that. let's america if she gets the vote she can run but i'll be voting and not for her why are we giving her so much attention if she doesn't have the support out there do you think because the media is very good at giving attention to someone who's good at making a stunt of themselves so is that all it is but when it comes to election day if she actually was running you don't think that she would get in i hope that we had the foresight as voters in this country to realize that no she should not be elected president of the united states of america if she does become president how will you

feel oh i'm moving to england yeah oh move to spain if she does become president of the u.s. what do you think the reaction will be in the u k. this . is my friend. whether. pailin is presidential material the bottom line is seems like she's planning on running the show at the very least it looks like we'll have an entertaining election come two thousand and twelve. scientists are concerned radioactive dangers which side quarter of a century are nuclear plant explosion the concrete bunker which covers a contaminated area. but it's not clear what radioactive danger lies underneath. explains almost a quarter of a century since the chernobyl fallout

a special confinement structure called the circle for gas is still preventing more radioactive emissions into atmosphere this structure the circus was built in one thousand eight hundred six just months after the disaster that your noble nuclear power plant back then experts predicted would last for only twenty years until two thousand and six that is but as you can see from here 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 sickle for greece is no longer a solid mass like it's lost twenty four years ago there now is more like three layers of dispersed dust so sure that presents

a call for good scripts so 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 start 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 gas next to the contaminated plant it won't be just the frame yeah it will be a technological complex as multi-functional crane system will be installed inside the new structure eat. a final step the new safe confinement should provide the safety environment for the works in far the project's initial cost was thought to be half a billion euro now sources internode will report that figure has almost doubled but

in the fight for the continent's safety no sum 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. main stories in a few moments stay with us.
