and this semi by ten percent of brass and copper do so after gas from the current shareholders if a deal takes place only son enough of us will reach thirty five percent of that and more in our business program coming up so. very warm welcome gee this is our t. line from moscow with me alice habit and also the news crew has been freed on bail after spending around thirty two hours in the us jail where they were taken into custody in the state of georgia while filming and annual rally near a military base nicknamed the school of the sun since we cannot cross that line to our correspondent kelly and forward who with a sense of that story hello she kayla so tell us exactly what happened to you. hi good morning alison why what happened was we were here to cover this rally which

usually draws upwards of fifteen thousand people it's a peaceful protest there's never any sort of violence never any sort of vandalism in fact the people who do this protest although they were protesting against the. so-called school of assassins the school of the americas at fort benning they're not protesting against this town and they've actually enjoyed quite good relations with the surrounding community. of columbus georgia this year however has been different there there were some arbitrary detentions there were some arrests of innocent bystanders every year of course people intentionally get arrested to draw attention to the issues at the school of the americas in the human rights issues of its graduates however this here is many people who are not intending to get arrested who are merely innocent bystanders including one man who was the owner of a barber shop while also a rested and detained myself and my cameramen included for more than thirty hours the case isn't over yet is it

a lead. it's not over we we pled not guilty because as members of the press we were doing our job we were not demonstrating they tried to charge us with demonstrating without a permit. unlawful assembly and you know we weren't demonstrators we were covering this as members of the news media accredited to cover this event and so of course you know we pled not guilty to these charges there's been local charges which have already gone through the system here even though we weren't offered a trial and then also state charges which are still pending ten bit of background now this really takes place on really doesn't it but it seems that this if these were more heavy handed one of the organizers of the protest made of the situation. well as i said before and this is my first year covering the event as a journalist this is my first year here but organizers who have been here more than twenty years coming to this area to protest peacefully have always enjoyed you know

a reporter with the police because they are nonviolent they don't use vandalism and actually the police were common things at the beginning of the day before sort of the melee ensued that they really respect these people because they are so nonviolent organizers just here have said that you know the police presence was much stronger and the police strategy of just sort of grabbing innocent bystanders including members of the press including one miner who is only seventeen years old who is also put in jail along with myself and my cameraman this is just this is something new this is something unexpected and of course this is something very unacceptable and ok when we know that you spent around thirty two hours in the u.s. you have now been freed on bail how how was that in. it was cast luckily we had many people who are in solidarity with us outside of the jail we got word that more than two hundred people had gathered for

a candlelight vigil outside the jail once they had learned we had been arrested those people stayed basically the entire time they stayed to our hearing our arrangement showing solidarity showing support for us when we walked in the court room was full. of activist of people in solidarity of people who believed in our in ascension and especially as members of the press and our right to tell the truth about what happened there and you know as a person who has reported from honduras is a reporter's report of one drive it was amazing to me the sort of police action that we saw yesterday was something that you don't typically see in the united states or you don't typically think of the repression of journalists as something that the united states is known for as opposed to the rest of the world but we saw many of the same tactics that you see in countries that have been really repressive to the past. while still worrying signs that us where you don't know where you are allowed to come and. we

were actually separated men and women so i didn't get to to speak with my cameraman hardly at all we could see each other occasionally through the window and we sort of you know communicated with each other to try to tell each other that we were doing ok it was very stressful we were treated like any other inmates and of course we were not getting any special treatment any special privileges and luckily you know we the women we were sort of at least with other members of the people who had been there that day activists or other members of the press that were also jailed and we tried to sort of stay in solidarity with each other we tried to support each other everybody of course had a moment where they really broke down and it was really difficult but we tried to support each other because we all knew we were there together and that we would be leaving together so we were you know in my very much illiteracy with each other. what do you. what was the first time that you were confronted by all of us through the course of your career as a journalist that this come as

a tremendous surprise to you. it did it really truly did as i said i worked in a hundred where there was a military coup in two thousand and nine and of course there's a degree of repression fourteen journalists for example have been killed four hundred two hundred journals have been killed in honduras this year alone. however you don't expect and the same sort of repression of freedom of expression many of the people who are filming both journalists and just people who are there shielding on their you know small consumer cameras were arrested there was very a distinct impression that the police were going after people who were filming and documenting what happened there and so it was a very astute moloch thing for us to be outside with these activists who were protesting human rights of course we weren't protesting we were covering it human rights in latin america when our human rights were not being very much respected here in the united states. can afford many thanks for the. long thirty

two hours that you spent inside the u.s. last you know come on that we're trying to report on that kind of. ok still to come here on the program don't go away from asian aquatic oasis to dead to desert. the aerial sea has become a wasteland of sand salt dust and pollution i'm lindsey france to join me in kazakstan to investigate how this transformation has affected the people here and how it's put its stamp on the environment forever. the russian newspaper has published new details of the joint nato russian missile defense shield a skunk's on the flight lines of the alliance summit in this but under a new proposal offered by president medvedev the two sides would cover sectors of territory which may overlap and extend over state borders what each side would be responsible for handling rogue missiles flying into their areas of control experts

say this plan would allow both sides remain secure and independent in terms of their anti missile systems as also you believe medvedev strategy would help to dispel russia's concerns over european systems threatening its national security. people in serbia are getting less enthusiastic about their country joining the european union and you gallup poll highlights concerns over signing up to an alliance that's having trouble keeping itself together sarah ferguson says the basics that people are worried about with prices in the shops already rising due to prices. it's government's i a family on the west in just a few days' time so have you will be presented with a questionnaire by the commission and what's seen as an important step in saving is to join the e.u. citizens as was the case for the rest of the continent being part of the e.u.

is the certainty for peace and stability a normal life better away from the prairie political rhetoric and the media monks the public in serbia is vastly different in fact a recent monitoring report found that more than half the respondents now view. negatively. listen to the politicians and so focused on joining the. e.u. gives a release ultimatums and it seems that our government is being dictated to and controlled by the e.u. which you do run impose crisis here at many e.u. countries and they're facing their own big struggles and there are some important questions being posed just how will the next session help is economy how will the multicultural institutions built after a decade of war be sustained at a time when leading european politicians ahead saying that multiculturalism is dead and when unemployment in serbia is so high the promises of

a better future translate into actual benefits past. many drops to bring down. any changes the government has also come under heavy criticism from opposition parties for the ill militant selling a state assets in the privatization of the last decade. for ten years the serbian government has been striving towards the e.u. with promises of a better future free cheese is only ever on offer in a mouse trap the government even sold some businesses to partners in the european union. industry monopolies have crippled many businesses such as a small dairy farm in belgrade or from cow to cart milk production in serbia is now no longer profitable and until the situation changes consumers are going to be

getting a drop of the real thing another family price is sad were ridiculous and some farmers simply refused to accept it you know it's hard to find fresh milk in the shops and we're having to sell our coast for me. we're told that the milk monopoly is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to business corruption is serbia with rich businessmen profiting from a government not strong enough or unwilling to oppose private interests investigation documents showing to r.t. reveal the state loss of around twenty million year is from the alleged and devaluing of the link to the sale of the great pools money that should have belonged to the taxpayer of course there are certain issues that you need to deal with the clause. corruption. a whole bureaucracy that is still existing here it is. soiled for phenomena like corruption people here no longer feel like the membership will be

the answer to the country's problems and prairie e rhetoric holds nice way with continuing economic instability is affecting the lives of the population serafin. belgrade of the prospects all serbia joining the queue in line to the country's economic and political lessons with up for discussion as artie's safer for nothing sat down with the president about his budget and you can watch the full interview at a later this hour but here's a quick preview. economic crises. unemployment and the kind of problems on the top of our agenda and this is a totally true without a strong economy and a real development you cannot defend your state to the national interest but to people i'm not thinking of course always and not the problem anymore we have a confrontation between serbs and albanians not between still be and cause so because we don't trickle in a score so when the pen speaks of

a confrontation between serbs and albanians for almost. fifty years and then the end of the day we have to solve that kind of conflict. blocking not only serbs sort of single being is but also the whole region in terms of progress and development only true dialogue we can achieve some sort of you shine that can be acceptable for great. now once the walls for the largest lake central asia our old sea is now famous for all the reasons with ninety percent of its water lost through soviet union they were deshaun projects it's now little more than an environmental catastrophe the design of the false reports that seized the mines also poses a serious threat to people's health. the air all see is a shadow of its former self those in the kazak city are rask once had the sea at

their doorstep but are now confronted by the haunting sight of abandoned ships the water is twenty kilometers away and from the dried up remains sickness comes one local woman who chose not to be named remembers when friends and family started to fall ill. here new diseases a match that we have never seen in high numbers especially related to breathe in my husband's good chronic bronchitis that's how i live you can see salt in the air but you feel it on the skin and you can feel it on the tongue. fields planted to make the soviet union completely self-sufficient in cotton consumed the rivers feeding into the air all sea decade by decade it nearly disappeared now what was once the world's fourth largest landlocked body of water is reduced to a pit of sand salt and pollution. the salt clings to them moist

seabed like here at the harbor in are all tsk as soon as it's dry enough even the slightest wind carries it into the town and across the country into the lungs of men women and children who don't even know they're bringing it before the grand cotton scheme the erroll see was one of the most picturesque places in central asia as it disappeared along with the soviet union the task of regeneration fell to the heads of newly independent central asian states in the early one nine hundred ninety s. it was then that people learned the extent of the seas to mines that until that point was known only to those close to the cultivation projects pesticides used to yield cotton leached into the rivers making the water a silent killer. the growing trees heavily polluted as well and in essence we're living in a disaster area in the past our infectious disease ward had one hundred fifty to

one hundred sixty patients especially children with interesting diseases per year it's about five per year it was the exact same with viral hepatitis this is all frank's to clean water. three years ago a group called the international fund for saving the aerial sea stepped in to protect the people from the taint of water. is just the fresh water project saul's many issues when possible they lead tap water pipes to the villages and to distant villages they create local water pipe systems but the pesticides aren't just in the fresh water they're blowing across the dusty seabed as well. in addition multi-drug resistant tuberculosis is on the rise exacerbated by this toxic combination special rehabilitation warrants are reserved in area hospitals so. our government pays fifty percent of what it calls ecological extras to our

salaries. this road extra for living new book with the rockets launched and the aerial see we have serious problems with the draft young people come in. small dams now trapped what little water flows into the upper air all see irrigating the desert little by little but walking through this place that's been given a new lease on life one can see the legacy of mismanagement it begs the question is bringing the water back enough to overcome the years of neglect or is the pollution too great to turn the dust bowl back into a thriving basin lindsey france r t kazakstan. ok a quick check miles of all the things we're around the world this hour and all twenty nine people in a flooded call the first sign that has been called to safety the men were trapped underground for more than three hours before the successful rescue time is mines

a much bigger market not only sixty million population and they already feel that interest from the. investors kazakstan plans to double while extraction by twenty twenty what will be the priority in the country's energy policy and what export markets work has a start target kazakhstan explaining to double the export possibilities by twenty twenty and distin ation for export of oil energy to sources with the additional countries thought russian power plants east into europe through c.p.c. . consortium projects through russian territory but would boost the jihad. to china i think we will explore of much as possible even though the existing capacity is not enough and we are discussing with all the members of all the neighboring countries the possibility for a future expert but the first choice is russia. and nissen may buy
