two minutes time. a very warm welcome to you this is a lie from moscow with me allas head but first this hour news crew has been freed on bail after spending around thirty two hours in the us jail they were taken into custody in the state of georgia while filming an annual rally near a military base nicknamed the school of assassins i'm. going to. pay eighteen affording camera man john cole way were also falls to pay a fine after they were accused of taking part in the arm for rally police are still considering another charge against them for allegedly failing it to

a bay offices instructions despite the crew claiming they followed every order waiting for days at the center of the story described the action of the police as brutal. very it without it was very stressful we were treated like any other inmates and of course we were not given any special treatment any special privileges we were actually separated men and women and so i didn't get to speak with my cameramen 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's a peaceful protest and never any sort of violence never any sort of vandalism in fact the people who do those protests they were protesting against the you know the so called school of assassins the school of the america had for banning 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 were some arbitrary detention there were some arrests of innocent

bystanders every year of course people intentionally get arrested to draw attention to the issue that 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 bystander do including one man who would be owner of a barber shop or arrested and became myself and my cattle men included for more than thirty hours many of the people who were filming both journalists and just people who were there filming on their you know small consumer cameras were harassed and if there were very a distinct impression that the police were going after people who were filming and documenting what happened there weren't demonstrators we were covering this as members of the news media credit to cover this event and so of course you know we've had that go to judy 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 we had many people

going solidarity with that outside of the jail we got word that more than two hundred people had gathered for a candlelight vigil outside the jail when they had learned we had been arrested those people stayed basically and. we stayed through our hearing or arraignment showing solidarity shown support for as we walked in the courtroom was full. of activity the people in solidarity of people who believed in our inoffensive and specially members of the press and our right to tell the truth about what happened there. for the post twenty years activity of the military academy in question has been the subject of home public scrutiny gun and shoot to kill for miles there has been a growing public outrage with what's going on at fort benning and is training camp for latin american military and law enforcement officers they've trained around sixty thousand of them many of whom have returned to their countries and became very dangerous they committed all kinds of human rights abuses for example in one thousand nine hundred three the united nations truth commission on el salvador

named the army officers who had committed the worst atrocities of the civil war they are two thirds of them have been good it had been trained at the school of the americas in chile the schools graduates were in both a ghost of a secret police and his and some of his main prisons there which are often referred to as concentration camps generals who led the bloody military coup in honduras in two thousand and nine were trained at the school of the americas which is now called the western hemisphere institute for security cooperation while the name has changed but the practice is obviously have. have not caylee now reporter was covering all this in the rally outside fort benning where the training center is located. also ahead for you this sound from a cradle of life to a halt to. the erroll sea has become a wasteland of sand solve 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 for ever. district in the way we're seeing a massive bailout of a one hundred billion dollars from the european union and international monetary fund it's the second emergency rescue package organized by only the euro zone to similar measures were taken of the greeks well some bowman head of research at the institute in london says that we're seeing is the beginning of the end of the single currency. obviously i think the euro zone's days are numbered i can't see the euro survive in this decade certainly not the next ten years probably not the next one or two years in fact bailing out ireland will kick the can down the road maybe our lives will bring down the euro but probably portugal spain or even if you will the exposure of for example the french economy to charlie and banks is absolutely massive twenty percent of the entire french economy is. to france by

charlie and banks by italian bond holders so if it really goes france economy will collapse the entire eurozone will collapse if one of these larger mediterranean countries goes and i think that really what island and what the u.k. needs to realize is that it's not a matter of bailing out the euro because that's what this bailout is aiming to do the bailout is trying to sustain the euro currency but that actually won't work really the question is do we do it now in an orderly way to wind down the euro and help ireland out of the euro zone or do we try and wait for one of the massive european economies like spain or italy to collapse and they will really be in trouble because there's no way we can afford to bear that out and we really really it will be a difficult situation and what we need to do is to help our land out of the euro zone help them restart which their own currency which can float so that they can devalue and be competitive on the world markets moving again and it would be good for the british taxpayer because britain will prosper when all and prosperous as well all with the latest struggling you country receiving the bailout from the alliance we take a look at the wider implications with people crosstalk panel they debate whether

governments will lead to be able to pay off their debts and what happens if they fail in an hour's time but here's a quick preview for you. i think we would do a medical metaphor and let's say your neighbor and everybody knows he's been drinking and he has a drinking problem and he's been drinking for a long time and now he's starting a business having blackouts and he's ended up in the hospital and so it's a crisis so everybody's gathered in the waiting room deciding what to do and we have roland on one side and he's the doctor and he goes listen you know this is this is a terrible situation this man's got to stop drinking and then we have mark on the other hand who says you know i mean that's true he's been drinking too much but if we cut him off right now he's just going to have a heart attack and die we're going to systemic collapse all right and my situation is i'm looking at this is you know that guy's going to be hauled off to the to the room. start praying so this is basically what it is cannot stop the death

you've got to stop spending to cut down dead whether or not it's too late is now the question. now roxanne a newspaper has published new details of the joint nato and russian official defense shield it was discussed on the sidelines of last weekend's alliance summit in lisbon under a new proposal offered by that image that if the two sides would cover the respective sections of their territories well citing an unidentified diplomatic tools the paper says that russia would be responsible for handling a road with cells in the east while nato from the west experts say this plan would allow both sunlight streaming secure and independent in terms of their anti missile systems as also you believe that that is strategy would help to dispel russia's concerns even european systems threatening its national security we'll see where this really is a win win situation i'm joined live now by. neglect from the musky state university of international relations many thanks for joining us here in the studio so the

russian president has said that he wants his country to have a significant and an equal role in european missile defense plans although it's not going to participate at all. this is something nato will really go along with while firstly the russian president's trip that russia could join the european missile defense system only on the basis of. equal footing and transparency and partnership and since this is the new concept of the alliance is also is seen as a partner and even a strategic partner in the accept such an approach looking a little bit closer to nato itself now some critics have said that the organization is suffering something of an identity crisis its existence of the breakup of the warsaw pact they say is really justified and with

a sound now moving ever closer to russia particularly with this new proposed form a partnership what do you think the future of the organization really is well you know this book a lot of the old prizes of identity of the alliance especially during the ninety nine days but they wouldn't agree and i suppose that over the last twenty years they alliance has become a unique. military unit and having unique sport grows its management and especially since your strategic concept is stressing that nato will respect the principle of primary responsibility and security council so in this light the future is not dark. and i want to have no doctors actually from the mosque is a university of international relations and that's they still. now

once the world's fourth largest lake the owl sea in central asia is now known for being one of the world's worst ecological disasters do you just solve it irrigation projects the water started receding fifty years ago was in a drastic change the local climate including most marine life but one of the greatest threats the rapidly disappearing water still pose is it to people's health lucy france reports. 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 had 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 town 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 ground 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 used in. the growing days heavily polluted as well and since 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 or diseases per year it's about five per year it was the exact same with viral hepatitis this is all things to clean water. three years ago a group called the international fund for saving the errol c. stepped in to protect the people from the tainted water. the fresh water project solves many issues when possible they lead tap water pipes to the villages and for

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 wards are reserved in area hospitals so. our government pays fifty percent of what it calls ecological extras to our salaries they throw an extra for living near buchan or with the rockets are launched and the aerial see we have serious problems with the draft young people come in unfit for service. small dams now trapped what little water flows into the upper air or sea 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. and that was the first in a series of the reports from the fight of one of the world's worst environmental disasters do you stay with us for more on the arabs the region throughout the week . you can always. move you. with a russian cargo planes unique power. to get fuel at the quitman take. the end of the line for this. will hit the trucks meaning it will be.

same time the country also wools a diversified economy and is looking for foreign investors the country's prime minister spoke exclusively to business r.t. about the plans. because i stand if known for the wall because we have a huge reserves of the natural resources before the bridge over the minerals and etc but to be only supplier of resources to the war is not. just a nation has. to be to have a competitive free market economy to her for a competitive. population with a high standard of education mr prime minister it's been almost a year since the creation of the customs union of russia kazakstan and valorous how would you assess its work what problems have been revealed during this year and where has it been most successful of course we did have some difficulties the past

may be some difficulties in the future but at the same time we do hear for very achievable results and i think the results that were quantum is enterprises within the custom union became more competitive. enterprises within custom union have more competitive advantages because the market is much bigger than it used to be before especially for because of stanley have won the sixteen million population now we can produce order was four hundred seventy million population this is a good one teach us the new tariff policy in the customs union it will be based on current tariffs existing in the russian federation it will get ninety percent of all the duties while kazakhstan will receive only seven percent what is european is this workable it's not only workable it's already working and they already feel the

one teachers of that i think gives the possibility to set up a new enterprise system the territory of all the benefits of custom union including kazakhstan and they already feel. or interest from foreign companies to invest in kazakhstan because now they're looking for 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 what a strong target kazakhstan explain and to double the export possibilities by twenty twenty and this to nation for export of oil in the digital sources is the additional countries through russian pipeline system to europe through c.p.c. . control from produce through russian territory but would boost due.

to china i think we will explore much as possible even though the existing capacity is not enough and we have discussed. with all the members of all the neighboring countries the possibility for a future expert but the first choice is russia and this may buy a ten percent stake of russian card reducer after all of us will current shareholders roles technology investment firm troika dialog the deals worth an estimated two hundred ninety million dollars and is expected to be reached next spring if it takes place the share of running this after of us will reach thirty five percent even though that will give it significant power in the boardroom recovery is having to secure a controlling stake in the future apart from love after fast is a second public offering of its shares worth six hundred million dollars. stricken islands confirmed it will receive
