the group unites russia china and four central asian nations representing over want to have billion people the report is there for the discussions on how to smooth the canonical relations and keep the massive borders of its member secure. following the form. this is a regional security organization in the first place and how else to deal with real problems he has convening around the table there's a russia china and the central asian republics kazakhstan uzbekistan kyrgyzstan and . this is the second time the shanghai cooperation organization is meeting this year and demonstrating its relevance among member states there is a drive to enhance trade overcoming the ongoing global economic crisis this is where the shanghai cooperation organization sees a great future also it has to be remembered that the cornerstone of. what is called the evil forces terrorism extremism and separate of course includes the war on drug

trafficking at the moment drug trafficking and islamic radicalism stemming from again a stoner of the two main security threats for russia the shanghai cooperation organization is all from come to nato but this comparison is mistaken the organizations influence comes from the fact that it represents a quarter of the world's population but the difference being is that the seal is not a military alliance and it doesn't see its aims beyond its borders it's focused on regional security in the first place and another thing which makes the s.d.o. so unique is that to have the weights russia and china working together to ensure peace and stability among organization members on the sidelines of the summit russian prime minister vladimir putin will be meeting among others with rose up to the boy of a president of kyrgyzstan the country that has been through so much as mixed drives recently and it has gone through seemingly successful democratic elections and it

is now coming to terms with the new directions of the country and today we expect the russian prime minister to refer russia's desire to see peace and stability in this struggling country. because of the chill reporting there are now americans are in things giving mode as they celebrate turkey day but not everyone is thankful traditionally one of america's busiest travel periods the holiday saw protesters gather in airports to rally against what they call invasive security checks in this office has more. here's another case of outrage over t.s.a. pat downs very furious over the pat downs not exactly dying down it's the t.s.a. versus t.n.a. skaters are turning the tables now men can be judged by their package according to the media the american people don't appreciate being scanned or patted down it takes much going to have you arrested since nine eleven air travel in the united states has undergone quite the security changes and last year's christmas day

bomber didn't help matters much either because americans usually fear for their safety and welcome heightened security measures when it comes to nudity or even being patted down many folks don't seem to be too aroused i think it would discourage me from flying even more so really what they had before this is too invasive it just appears to be too invasive but most people didn't share that sentiment i believe. and i think the scanner fine and i want true and that was it i mean there was no scanning there was no pat down there was nothing you have to go through a scanner i didn't know there's a point of the afford to buy one of those just such a big drama about it for nothing the drama as collated with a loosely organized internet boycott national opt out day for those bashful of their lady or man parts they could choose a pat down instead of a scanner the story became media frenzy as far as creating a frenzy at the airport not so much it is inconvenient it is uncomfortable but when you go to the doctor and he examines you they put their hand all over the place and

you don't like it but you put up with it putting up with or even enjoying it does it matter who's patting you down i'd rather have a choice between a male or female who would you choose a female so you'd like to be patted down as long as it's a female yes while others actually opted for the scanner i'd much rather be scanned and patted down and read as my feeling about touching or looking even our favorite celebrity is don't see the big deal it's not the way that i would like to live but if it's going to. keep me from getting blown out of the sky you can check anything you want and if you feel some you like a squeeze a one of my want. but to some americans it's no laughing matter it's difficult that we live in a society where we're so afraid of what's going to happen that we have to have these invasive search procedures i think it shows a real weakness in our foreign policy and wherever there is frustration with the government or media hysteria there's money to be made case in point fig leaf

underwear brought to you by a las vegas businessman who says this strategically placed leaf along with some powdered metal will ease the embarrassment of having to go through the scanners would you have a rock rock underwear. personally i think it's a little out of proportion and. not a fan of figleaves another feather fig leaves hiding private parts to protect privacy rights that most of these travelers could care less about due to go soft ski r.t. washington d.c. still have for this hour here in r.t.e. an orphanage to protest the war in prison are to visit a scandal hit institution for children with mental disabilities to investigate allegations of maltreatment and abuse. calm is being restored and sounds along that after a day of violent protests thousands of students to to the streets demonstrate dance government plans to increase university tuition fees and slashed teaching budgets

away scot free we're not in the eurozone of course we've never even had a referendum which is why we're part of the referendum campaign dot com we want a referendum on whether we stay in europe but at the moment the euro itself which of course we're not part of the single currency is crashing and burning. now elsewhere in the you work public discontent is mounting as a single currency plunges into deeper crisis it's feared portugal is next in line for e.u. bailouts the country was paralyzed by a twenty four hour general strike on wednesday had a parliamentary vote on a tough new budget deal later this week meanwhile the irish government has unveiled a four year plan to save fifteen billion euros and stabilize the debt ridden economy the country will adopt harsh as the stary measures its ever face including massive job cuts tax rises comes as dublin negotiates a bailout package from the e.u. and i.m.f. but some experts say and new approach to the single currency is necessary for recovery. people forget that before these budget cuts we have other budget cuts we

are going to the third is wrong the verge of cuts all of the while ago people were telling us that they had already done the most that they. did budget cuts and still markets do not leave the beast so what happens is that you as this additional weaknesses there are witnesses not only of the briefing or economists each other very different from the other but difficulties weaknesses of the whole common currency so they should be addressed as a whole. by pinpointing budget cuts in one on the or the other got to be if the interests keep raising well what happens is that budget cuts that we're doing today will be ineffective to morrow and we've seen this movie already so i think that's. a whole new approach is needed as and i was terribly protos group europe some say

it's time to go back to the drawing board reform the e.u. a little later in the program we'll hear from a british m.p. who says the masters of the union are leading him down a dead and. tried to create a country where the people who created the country for. i have no particular desire to have a country called europe created and one day there could be such a train wreck. over this whole issue it will stop functioning and then there will be slow or realisation. but it stopped working. when you stopped working in a crisis comes like we have recently because we saw there was no european response it was the germans believe the greeks all somebody else having him to be allowed tomatillos what he was not thinking where europe in all of these we are supposed to have created of this economic bloc

a trading bloc. a very powerful bloc well when there is a crisis it is the individual member states who have to pick up the pieces and slowly beginning to dawn on the elites who run this but this is not working. and if you watch the full interview with british emma pineiro in just over an hour's time here on our t.v. and let's go to belarus now worth thousands of protesters have taken part in a band march in the heart of the capital demanding a president step down three leading how today to next month's presidential elections were at the forefront of the rally. the. protesters called for a fairer and more democratic vote the current head of state alexander lukashenko is up for reelection after sixteen years in power has been criticized for quashing the opposition and the panda media one of the presidential hopefuls. has urged

nationwide demonstrations of the government fails to carry out a transparent vote. the presidential election on december the nineteenth we're planning a mass protest it's very likely that he will do that because he doesn't have enough support to win the. victory saying he's gained more than seventy percent of votes which he's already claiming now it means the election was rigged and we're going to have to defend our rights and. there's no other way to do that than just stage a protest. and let's now take a look at some other stories from around the world that at least twenty one people have died in a way violence between police and gang members in brazil's rio de janeiro thousands of officers have been dispatched to deal with gunmen who have been blocking main roads robbing motorists and burning cars since saturday social say drug traffickers are fighting back against police operations aimed at taplin violence in city slums

insists progress is being made in a grueling nine year old campaign u.s. military chiefs claim modest gains against the taliban this despite a four fold increase in clashes since two thousand and seven. looks at the mass relocation of american forces the latest attempt to break the deadlock. i will try to purchase time in iraq is coming to an end he's part of the american forces who stayed behind to train assist and equip iraqi security forces sure there was a home that's for sure no one knows whether once they hear the genesis not just movement of troops and equipment since world war two the u.s. army is moving its supplies from iraq to afghanistan certain equipment such as are in rap. mine resistant vehicles our humvees are those types of equipment a lot of our rolling vehicles rolling stock of course and some generation that

equipment yes will be dedicated towards the mission in afghanistan but critics warn that moving troops won't help much. when i've gone people see us forces inside their country it brings in tag an ism and makes them turn to terrorism and al qaeda so as more american troops come here from iraq it will just make things worse i don't believe the americans will leave for another fifty years they have to have their main military bases here and then building the americans leaving iraq also sends the wrong message to insurgents the afghans seeing the americans are drawing from iraq and they think themselves ok they're going to withdraw in a year or two we got a hold on things we'll take control in a year or two it doesn't matter how real to quote she's already been told he'll be going from iraq back to afghanistan it'll be his second time there and he's not

looking forward to it i would definitely say that afghanistan is a lot more difficult so the terrain is a lot more heavier and the mountainous region is we have to do a lot more walking there and whether the beefed up presence in afghanistan will help troops meet mixtures deadline to pull out or make it more difficult it's still unclear the guys and just come back some of the. everything went ok because the next one. to baghdad. the children of a russian orphanage for kids with mental disabilities have caused a national scandal after writing a letter to president viet of complaining about conditions there but inspectors say there's nothing wrong with this petition but it did raise a bigger issue the old fashioned methods of care which leave the children feeling trapped and prepared for the modern world are it is more if enough now reports. to dream with mantel disability near st petersburg have been operating beyond the public gaze for almost fifty years and suddenly it was making national news the
