the business update that he made putin talks trade and business relations with his chinese counterpart in st petersburg we'll have the details in about twenty minutes time. and i will welcome gee this is the line from moscow. a lesson that people arrested in europe on charges of terrorism are reported to have links to chechen militants investigators involved and say that part of an international terror network that was preparing a bloody christmas campaign in europe with a waltz he said to be hiring people and seeking funds to finance terrorism russia's republic of chechnya. is following developments from brussels. or thought these owners preparations for a terrorist attack on an unspecified location in belgium the arrest in belgium took place in the port town of and and information was uncovered from the and saw al

majid the internet forum that an attack was being planned suspects were belgian dutch and moroccan nationals and the moroccan national chain background terrorism judge philip van leeuwen tell'd has just said they may have been recruiting and financing activities for the caucasian emirates this is an organization of radical islamist separatist group which is operating from russia's republic of chechnya and is being seen as one the first major international events which shows the times between the chechen led terrorist organization and the worldwide al qaeda network one of the first major events proving the link with russian terrorism towards the rest of the world of course it comes in the context of the united states issuing an arrest warrant for dog owner of one of the leaders of the chechen islamist rebel group he has been placed on the most wanted group list in the united states that

really shows how the chechen terrorists are linked to the worldwide al qaeda network of course they've recently been possible for various outrages including the moscow metro bombings as well as attacks various numerous attacks in the southern republics russia's southern republics of dagestan and chechnya. ok let's get some more reaction on the story now and chance political analyst meeting about it we are not easy agency many thanks for joining us about it. we've been told that the eleven arrested a part of an international terror network what sort of network are we talking about is that al qaeda well certainly i can't tell you that because i'm a journalist just like you are they only see the news reports so what i can tell you is that their ideology of jihad use their ists i think is the best name for them is actually directed against the west in general and against russia as a part of the west the you officials and the u.s. officials may not conceive the russia a european country or

a western country for jihad guests russia is a western country and they're ready to strike russia as a part of the west of world war there were russia's relations with united states or the and that you know that sounds were in the same ball with the e.u. and with the united states whether they were the states or america wanted on talking of being in the same boat these are the terrorism recently the u.s. and into model that's russia's most wanted man to its list of international terrorists and now that they're saying these arrests in europe are also being linked to international terror network do you think it means that the west and now eg concedes that chechen para is a part of the global terror threat. i think there are science pointed to that direction but actually if you look at the media the french investigate gear five years ago all linked there are moderate born but that still.

terrorists lot but churchmen terrorists about the last kick asian terrorist because the jihadist movement in north caucasus became very international it's no longer a church nationalists this is a movement directed against russia and against the west because i remember my interviews with dzhokhar do dale. with shuttle bus at some point in the conversation they always left out against the west and it's just laughable to see people act under groups mond and others talking about russia and then you meet all the slum of wildlife for. underage look small and the french were no less an imbecile than russians i remember my interviews i was translating for frank is basically what he said so basically if we look at the media news about that have been coming all these years there are people in the west like gordon hung from dover institute who make reports on these issues every week so there's a lot of information is just that it was just the lack of political will in the

west to acknowledge it and to look at the problem seriously well if we are now witnessing a coming together if you like facing terrorism with the west consisting of the us europe and russia if you like now saying that they are facing a common thread do you think that would then make that threat easier to tackle that if everyone's tackling it together certainly it will make it easier to tackle because for the last fifteen years the west in this perception all over north korea's was guided by idealistic individuals but i cannot say redgrave fallen in love with fall a very loose man it's time to get real and to look at creativity instead of creating romantic images basically there is a very dirty game going on in the media and the in the streets and the terrorists are looking for and pick unity to strike at western civilization for them during

the ninety's russia was the weak link in the western civilization because it was so corrupt it was so weak next day it maybe you are ok and now is the time to get real as you say facing this terrorism that right to be thought about it from the ria novosti news agency many thanks for joining us here on. thank you. but of course we'll be keeping an eye on this story and bring you all the latest developments as they continue to come in to us here to stay tuned ok moving on now the impact of the walls the u.s. is fighting in iraq and afghanistan is being felt on hainan soil greater than ever recent figures show a record high number of young veterans are committing suicide each month and gun ages you can investigate what pushes so many us soldiers to take their own lives once they've returned home from the front line danger. each day eighteen american veterans commit suicide in the last few years more u.s. military personnel of taken their own lives than have been killed in either iraq or

afghanistan the numbers raise a question where is the battle really happening in the field or at home. he was only home parade months before. for his demons took him over my home is going to. return. and here and it happens when i post torture. i told him he was number twenty six and. these parents share a similar tragedy one of losing their children who had gone to war in iraq strong and healthy man and came back deeply traumatized and haunted by nightmares. thousands of american troops returning home with post-traumatic stress disorder but

many refused to seek help from the government in fear it's going to show on their records and they won't be hired anywhere but even those who do seek help are often neglected i want to apply for a job. i applied for unemployment benefits. i went to the veterans administration for treatment a year after i was discharged because i was feeling suicidal and i was discharged i was refused treatment actually brian little would served in iraq came to this charity event for homeless veterans because he too was homeless he and dozens of other young man and women here online. not only do many come back from war traumatized but are often left without a roof over their head according to the u.s. national coalition on homelessness forty percent of homeless man are veterans and the staggering number of those who see no other option but to kill themselves pushed the country's veterans affairs department to start a suicide prevention hotline which they claim they've talked to more than ten

thousand veterans out of killing themselves iraq and afghan veterans fueled the epidemic and i share your yours. you know. especially so often hear from callers they see no meaning behind the many killings they witnessed any war can be traumatizing for soldiers but the susana agreed among vets in the us is now the highest sees the vietnam war there was no similar surge after world war two seaview is questioning the motive of the war is now reflected among many young american vance who's only down to drive them even closer to the brink looking at the plight of veterans in the us one can't help asking what is the cost of war is it the one point eight trillion dollars the u.s. spent in iraq and afghanistan last here or is it the shattered lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers who come back home to find out their battle for survival has

just begun going to shut down or to clinton maryland also have. metal monsters like this fishing vessel said here abandon waiting for the sea water to return to the deserts of kazakstan with international rehabilitation efforts taking effect the aerial see proves it may once again return m one the france join me in central asia to explore what used to be one of the world's largest landlocked bodies of water. journalist writes in the united states one question optional spent around thirty two hours in jail for trying to film a problem in the peaceful protests against the military academy dubbed the school of assassins that finished with offices hung consecrate covering the event and marched them a to a police van. thank you

you may think your. own correspondent for describing to police as brutal she was later released in the brutal her account of the arrest. while we were filming we were asked to step aside we 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 what we were being charged with 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 were processed through the system and we actually spent thirty two hours in the county jail there in georgia 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 felt as journalists that we didn't have protection of freedom of the press we didn't have the first amendment rights and it's interesting that this happened outside of the school of the america 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 case isn't 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 prince minutes and 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 and under our first amendment rights. of american competition's first amendment guarantees free speech but human rights activists david lyndall says the u.s. is now turning into a police state where is the person bearing the bad she decides whether you can exercise who runs there isn't it more aggressive attitude towards interfering with their free at rate of the free press as your reporters found out down in georgia in the u.s. we're moving slowly toward glacially maybe sometimes faster towards more of a police state where the police run kind of rampant and nobody controls them they're able to charge your your journalists as demonstrators which is ludicrous that will intimidate you presumably from sending them to other events because you don't want to keep paying these fines and things the only way to do to deal with this is to fight them in the court i think you're going to see more and more of it the attitude that the police have is that they can do whatever they want and their

first amendment is really at their. you know at their we have not something that we are guaranteed you're the only ones who are taking everything showing the guts to go and cover these things and now when you get confronted with it you should defend yourself and fight the police on it a human rights activist david lindorff there is of course closely watching this case when you all the nations development there. south korea has admitted it fired artillery shells that triggered an early morning clash with north korea however it says it was part of a military drill and the night it was directed at the north pole blamed it all for what it called an armed pervade shelling of its island they are now claiming the salvage violated its maritime border during the military drills soledad since it threatened its neighbor with what it calls enormous retaliation russia's foreign ministry said the clashes one acceptable and called on both sides to show restraint

. oppositional with us of what happened deserves condemnation we insist that both sides must take measures to pacify the situation and prevent similar action in the future unfortunately this is already the third incident of the kind this year but this time there's a colossal danger of the situation descending into military conflict this must be avoided russia has repeatedly warned of the growing tension in the region and is now counting on both sides to arrive at a suitable conclusion. or have a lot less of course from the moscow think he told r.t. the international community is prejudiced against the north and is ready to blame it for everything with little evidence. even if we take the case of previous case of. the conclusion that it was the. blame because blame all of modern was taken and i mean not so much evidence and if you

take just the un statement on this matter they don't mention things that cannot korea but still i think eighty percent of the articles made you still blaming north korea for this. would you log on to our website for a variety of opinions on the s. and of course all the other stories that we've been covering today here's a taste of what else we've got lined up for you as aussie dot com break a habit russian lawmakers lead by example in the fight for a no smoking zone. and not go home alone out of a into that a safer place for children all that and much more. that's made central asia now where the adults see once the world's fourth largest

lake almost disappeared half a century ago she just thought it out cultural mismanagement the receiving waters roped the region of the economic lifeline but didn't deprive people of the hope that one day the sea would return. lindsey false reports there are signs one of the world's was manmade environmental disasters lights be reversed. there are people living at this harbor who have never seen the water which once lapped at its walls the former port city of a raskin kazakstan was once a bustling hub of business and human activity but beginning in the one nine hundred sixty s. rivers feeding massive cotton fields for the soviet union diverted water away from the rivers that fed the erroll sea. when i came here the sea was close to the city my husband and i had and we would swim to the islands for picnics on the weekend we swam and lay in the sun nation the sea started moving away the waters became

shallow and then just joined up my children saw it only in the pictures until the waters were so aggressively diverted the aerial sea was the size of ireland. the disappearing sea took with it fishing jobs commerce and an entire way of life just a few decades ago where i'm standing now as far as the eye could see was bright blue water ships just like this bobbing up and down bringing in the day's catch now when you drive across the former seabed all you see is abandoned villages abandoned ships and camels now people here calling errol coom or errol desert was out of school board a soviet planned economy is largely to blame for the dying of the aral sea all decisions were made in moscow which took no account of the ecological balance of that region the consequences of that could be felt as early as in the one nine hundred sixty s. the r.e.c. region defines the terms pre-crisis crisis and disaster. it was after the collapse

of the soviet union that people were faced with the seriousness of the disaster the sea had split in two in two thousand and five experts harnessed what little water still flowed into the lesser erroll see from this year daryn river by building the cocoa dam and eighty seven million dollars project funded in part by the world bank the smaller body of water had become the great hope of the future. we had over two hundred people here from russia kazakhstan and his back is stand the work is very hard and many of us lived here on site for two or three years but now we're happy to say the time has come to pack up the structure is working perfectly. welcome to news after years of failed dam projects and wasted water in just a few short years these small downs have turned parts of the cows like desert back into a seascape dotting it would be. the hope is that as the project progresses the dams

will be built even higher keeping more water and extending the boundaries and the boundaries of the lesser erroll see back to the city. when the sea left us my husband did not want to leave this place he used to say children would grow to see with their own eyes even before he died he believed that the sea would come back. now as the excess water flows through the sluices it disappears out into the nearly and greater peril see no grand scheme for saving that exists yet for the one million people living in kazakstan poorest region measurable improvement will only come when these shores once again fill with boats lindsey france r.t. kazakstan. well that was the latest in our series of reports on one of the world's worst ecological disasters do you stay with us for more from the hour of the region some more oh by now they don't go away probably because the seas are charlotte nice

to see the easy target is there to try and avoid a possible gas freeze this winter that's right ukraine is in fresh talks gas problem or gal about gas prices but commission says whatever happens you're not suffer like it did in two thousand and nine i will be hearing from the energy commissioner later in the program but first this hour the net outflow of capital from russia in the first ten months of this year total twenty one billion dollars that's according to the chairman of russia's central bank capital outflow picked up steam in september and october amounting to eight billion dollars for those two months alone the central bank attributes this to an increase in foreign assets among nonfinancial organizations the net capital outflow forecast for two thousand and ten hasn't been changed yet expect top fifteen billion dollars if the price of oil is sixty dollars per barrel. trade and business relations are topping discussions between the russian and chinese prime ministers and a meeting in st petersburg by the main putin says russia's largest banks bank and

the export import bank of china have signed an agreement open a two billion dollar credit line money will finance major joint economic projects and also address the issue of using the national currencies of both countries in trade in the future. or national but should we have decided to expand their abilities of using no national currencies for mutual economic and trade contracts according to your previous agreements we were paying each other with the us dollars which i need stock market has started trading roubles and trade you know the yuan will start in moscow in the beginning of december this is a serious step in great in better conditions for direct trading without any losses . now the u.s. energy commission says year it will avoid another freeze out this winter ukraine which transits most of russia's gas to the e.u. has started a fresh pricing route with gas from that's raised fears of a repeat of two thousand and nine when a similar spot caught the gas apologist thousands of european homes but after

meeting gas probably enough to gas a crane both this singer says at this time they're ready. to pass. on surprises steve jobs and i haven't really had time to make believe owning mechanism that we have trust we have more more trust you have to close dialogue and so i'm sure that if you can avoid any part of the rises in gas between russia and you. meanwhile there's a growing energy investment standoff between russia and the e.u. and energy minister sergei sure of course is it boils down to a so-called gas pump course in brussels it's a bits the gas giant from buying into energy pipelines and so foreign firms can do the same in russia but then and in an interview for our core group that's out. of these sore point in our relations guess proem has already made some investments in europe and we should protect those investments more carefully is they were done in

good faith trade intensive dialogue with the energy commission today and will continue to try mutually beneficial outcome. will russia let foreign companies use its just pipeline system as the e.u. demands on your program at this point is not up for discussion we have strict national completely garden monopoly control of the gas transport network was on the world's most inefficient uses of energy you'd go so far as to say saving energy is now your number one target and that if you know energy efficiency today is a work keeper you already waste four times more energy than to europe or japan because both homes and industry get power on the cheap it's affecting our competitiveness today they're changing energy is becoming a significant part of domestic and industrial costs or when you lot when energy efficiency will maintain that we can make energy savings of forty percent by two thousand and twenty but private companies must drive those improvements not

government as happens in some other countries. let's see how the markets are performing now on u.s. stocks are falling sharply at the open as an exchange of fire between north and south korea combined with ongoing worries about european debt rattled investors down more than one. of the trends being occurred over in europe where markets are reeling from all islands financial and physical turmoil banking stocks the weighing on the footsie with barclays down two percent. and here in russia markets are also tanking as we approach the end. trade on tuesday all the main players are in the red and both the bosses and you stocks are the biggest drag on lower oil prices gazprom is shedding more than one point five percent on the r.t.s. . now x. five retail group is considering buying the most marks chain more smarter said it's looking for options to sell some of its outlets all the business as a whole it can rearrange the sixteen stores across russia and this x five is probably most interested in the form or screen retail centers worth three hundred
