this is r t it's nine pm monday night here in moscow a warm welcome chief you just joined us money kevin now in our top story in our teen news crew has been freed on bail after spending around thirty two hours in a u.s. jail they were taken into custody in the state of georgia or filming an annual rally near a military base nicknamed the school of assassins our camera was rolling throughout that the rest this is the footage coming your way now it's the first time it's been shown to the public this is what happened. you know. i wasn't doing anything. but i moved i moved i member you brother as you were going to i'm a member of the person sorry ok i'm sorry that i'm i'm sorry. my marriage. i'm sorry i'm a member of the prep i i was just like you i would have to move i moved over here

and now they're arresting me and i don't understand why out it's really tight it's really really tight. right now. i'm sorry if i. take them back take. the press. corps correspondent carolyn for their i'm also colin john conway they're also forced to pay a fine they were accused of taking part in the whole rally police is still considering another charge against him tonight for allegedly failing to upgrade this was his instruction despite the crew claiming they followed every order clearly later described by police as brutal twenty anniversary of the school of the americas i was there with my cameramen covering the as school of the americas watch rally in vigil at fort benning this vigil has been going on for many many years and the police when we interviewed them before the all these events transpired they talked about how peaceful this event usually is how they never have problems with

the protesters and then while we were filming we were asked to step aside were asked to step onto the sidewalk which we did this is documented in the footage that we shot we turned our backs and all of a sudden we were being arrested we were not told that we were being charged where we were taken to the county jail it took about four hours for us to be told what we were being charged with and we are processed through the system and we actually spent thirty two hours in the county jail there in georgia so we've just been released earlier this morning you know i've been a journalist and i'm sure it has been a journalist in many other countries and. and you see the sort of oppression of journalists this kind of violence against against the media this this attempt to control what kind of information is being getting is getting out but i've never seen that in the united states and the united states is my country and i believe very strongly in the first amendment and i always really believe that it did protect us as media workers as press workers even though we were clearly credentialed press were accredited with the united states congress we presented our

press credentials and they still arrested as we were charged just as all the either activists were all of us were found guilty of every single charge brought against us there was no distinction made between the press and between the you know the activists that were there and the bystanders the innocent bystanders so really we we've we felt as journalists that we didn't have protections of freedom of the press we didn't have first amendment rights and it's interesting that this happened outside of the school of the americas where they're training soldiers and police to do these kind of actions against populations of latin america and much of the same repression was seen on the streets of the united states the cases and over again we did appear before a judge in many ways it was the most undemocratic i would say process as you know sort of miscarriage of justice i mean a lot of us weren't even permitted to speak we weren't even permitted to hear what the police officers were saying against as or permitted to respond it was sort of the judge chose to not only you know press charges against us and decide even

though it was an arraignment but also sentences and we're also facing state charges for unlawful assembly which as journalists we you know obviously are not part of an unlawful assembly where they're covering it under our first amendment rights so that's the next case that's going to be taken up with the state of georgia and we're very hopeful that our lawyers who have been very supportive in this process and all the people who have been followed with us will continue to support us in this process and see what we can do about these charges as well. correspondent carolyn for the first time the arrests for the past twenty years to the military academy in question have been the subject of public scrutiny of who's going to come is that some of the story for you tonight there has been a growing public outrage with what's going on at fort benning and his 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 nine hundred ninety 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 had been good it had been trained at the school of the americas in chile the schools graduates rain both of course the pinochet 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 practices obviously have. have not caylee now reporter was covering all this in the rally outside fort benning where the training center is located. where he's going to come reporting live bring you some today just to remind you just over twenty

minutes that story features in the special edition about the boat show cross talk with people who. that stricken ireland will receive a massive bailout of over one hundred billion dollars from the european union an international monetary fund it is the second emergency rescue package organized by the eurozone after similar measures were taken for greece earlier this year let's get more now from british consider douglas cultural joining us on the line from london tonight mr cardwell thanks for being on our team has appreciated well britain has to pump more than eleven billion dollars in its own separate bailout for ireland but how logical is that particular considering that britain is not even in the euro zone and it's struggling through its own deficit right now does it make sense. i'm not in favor of it at all i mean i think for

a start this bailout doesn't actually solve much all it does is it means that our land is further in debt and will end up owing more creditors many more billions ultimately for arlen to solve the problems that she faces she needs to exit the euro she needs to have her own currency once again and she needs to be able to take the sort of steps that we've seen other countries in a similar situation straight. jacket also go argentina found itself in a similar situation where they were linked by the folly of their politicians to the dollar they are now doing pretty well because they were able to break that link until alan is able to exit the euro i'm afraid this is just throwing good money after bad government so of course they're helping a friend in need ok let's look at the broader picture. portugal and spain could everyone saying be next in line what is the future of the eurozone if he continues

to buy off every failed economy like this. well i mean first warnings are an important point to make it's in britain's interests that our land and the other members of the euro zone prosper but in order to allow them to prosper keeping them a locked up in this monetary cage called the euro is not going to be in their best interest it's not going to allow wealth to be created in our land or elsewhere in the euro zone the problem here is that arlen has been pretty honest arland has put the liabilities of banks on to the state balance sheet there are other members of the euro zone who haven't been as frank and where frankly there are some zombie banks out there and they haven't fessed up to their liabilities when that happens as it's going to have to happen i think we're going to see some pretty horrific numbers i don't think it's just been that's in trouble but there are other bigger countries in the eurozone that are in trouble but whatever the markets do sort term

the fundamental problem is this you cannot have a common fear currency and a common set of interest rates and a common monetary policy across disparate economies and if you try and do that you're putting political delusion ahead of economic reality and millions of europeans are paying the price for some of the move also tonight will you see a rise since the bell it was announced but i guess you know what your ox is going to be but i was going to say is the euro as well being really worth so much paid by so i kind of know what your answer is going to be well people say look the year is picked up. you know if you gave me eighty billion pounds i would perk up it doesn't actually fundamentally solve the problems that this bailout is a short term band-aid solution you know longer term you've got you've got several problems which are not going to be addressed and cannot be addressed when you've got what is in effect a european debt union now this is the real problem and it's a problem for britain and it's ultimately the problem for all twenty seven member

states of the european union we thought what we had was a currency union. and we thought it would be to our economic advantage on the contrary it turns out that that currency union in the common mantra policy has actually damaged economies who don't get the interest rate in the monetary policy they need worse it creates a debt union which in effect means that the twenty seven member states have a common bank account and ours will probably happen if you shared your bank account with your twenty seven neighboring houses in the street where you live you would probably find one or two members spent more than they should that's exactly what's happened in the euro it's not sustainable mr coles well then i will always look into a crystal ball if you would do you see any of these failed states the ones the countries the ones who defaulted they're going back to their own original currencies quitting the eurozone future i would hope so i mean i think the break up of the euro is in the interest of western europeans who want to create wealth i mean take our land

for example millions of our families and businesses have done exactly the right thing over the past ten or fifteen years the problem is that their efforts have been swamped because of the fact they're in the euro and all of the austerity measures that the irish government introduced a year ago count for almost nothing because they in the year of western european countries that are members of the euro are going to find it increasingly difficult to create wealth and i think if we're serious about creating wealth and having a growth economy in europe we need a monetary policy that is not harmonized but it allows different member states. to have different monetary needs it makes sense it's only levels only the politicians and those obsessed about european integration still insist upon monetary union as as though it's a magic wand to secure economic growth on the contrary it hampers economic growth it's bad for western europe's economy but it's conservative m.p. douglas cars will thanks for being on the line on our team from london tonight thank you and still coming up on the program in this half hour of news with me

systems threatening its national security alexander mckeithen from the moscow state university of foreign relations he says the west needs russia to feel truly safe. we agreed in which missiles start them from the territory of certain state is common to only by a certain quantity or a satellite is a bit long can i as a tour united states or some european powers. come troll a large area or airspace to be awarded in advance about zip about actual strike from this point of your example are impatient i was in your system against potential strikes from iran or north korea would require a. much more informational to be built this off russia be involved as i may be informational capability for located european powers from this point of your need that it was a waste to establish the system so full scale and there she is already afford

negotiations. and is out of the keaton for moscow state university of international relations talking to r.t. thanks tonight one of the world's once rather the world's fourth largest lake the erroll sea in central asia is now known for one of the worst ecological disasters on the planet because of somebody's irrigation projects the water started receiving their fifty years ago bringing with it a drastic change to the local climate and killing most marine life too but one of the greatest threats the rapidly disappearing waters still pose is a threat to people's health lindsey france has got the story tonight the aero sea is a shadow of its former self. those in the kazakh city of once had to see 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 but you see here new disease is a message 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 and cotton consumed the rivers feeding into the erroll 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 the moist sea bed 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 breaking before the ground cotton skinny 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. because 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 in children with a strain of disease and per year it's about five per year and it was the exact same with viral hepatitis this is all funds to clean water. three years ago

a group called the international fund for saving the arrow c. stepped in to protect the people from the tainted water. the fresh water project souls' many shias when possible they leave tap water pipes to the villages and to distant villages they grade local water pipe systems but the pesticides aren't just in the fresh water they're blowing. across the bad 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 the local government pays fifty percent for what it calls ecological extras too and salaries they throw in extra for living near book nor with the rockets are launched and the aerial see we have serious problems with the draft young man in unfit to service. small downs 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 good 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. that was the first indeed in a series of special reports from the site of the world's worst environmental disasters lined up for you stay with us for more from the hour we'll see region throughout the week here on out a couple of top world news stories a brief now if you're the u.s. special envoy to north korea is called receive revelations about the country's nuclear program provocative but not a crisis stephen bosworth who's visiting south korea was responding to a report by an american scientist that the north has a new ukrainian richmond plant the more than a thousand centrifuges that have also been claims an experimental light water

in the city. called small. midair as it could have been told from the strength for us to try to come to her toe. and i welcome to the business program with me that i was folly because it is falling to double oil production by twenty twenty and is all eyeing up new export markets but of the same time the country also wants to diversify its economy as looking for foreign investors the country's prime minister spoke exclusively to business saute about the plans. because i stand is known for the war because we have a huge reserves of the natural resources before but over the minerals and etc but to be only supplier of resources to the war is not our goal is to nation has

to be to have a competitor from free market to quantum to have for a competitive. population with a higher 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 maybe will be some difficulties in the future but at the same time we do have very achievable results and i think the chuba 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 stand they have won the sixteen million population now we can produce out of those four hundred

seventy million population this is a good one touch for us the mere tariff policy in the customs union will be based on current tariffs existing in the russian federation it will get ninety percent of all the duties while kazakhstan all 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 or of that i think that gives the possibility to set up a new enterprise system the territory of all the benefits of custom union including kazakhstan and the order they feel. more interest from foreign companies to invest in kazakhstan because now they're looking for a much bigger market not only sixty population and they already feel that interest from the. investors kazakstan plans to double oil extraction by twenty twenty what will be the priority in the country's energy policy and what export markets what
