well it is actually there really everyone is waiting for this vote and they're going to vote any minute now and it seems that nothing can do relate to we have heard some very positive speeches from senators as well as some last minute attempts by republicans to undermine this treaty by now there is really little doubt that that they failed in the past six days of debates or just a marathon a number of republicans kept stalling the vote for as long as they could and as of now there are enough votes to pass this treaty i mean everyone is sure about that democrats need at least sixty seven out of one hundred votes so much is at stake with this new start treaty both will russia and the u.s. and the whole of the international community and yet number of republicans were really going out of their way to undermine it without having substantial arguments against it as many think just to get back at obama just to trade their votes for something else that they wanted but as i said everyone here is really optimistic about the upcoming vote we're really looking forward to this going to russia for

exposed been pushing very hard isn't it for the treaties russification just why it is so crucial for the so off talked about a reset button that had been pressed in relations between the two countries why is it so crucial. well first of all if we look at just just the tree itself about the reduction the reductions that are underway some very significant ones both countries are going to cut their nuclear arsenals by third down to some fifteen hundred fifty on each side of the deal also limits the number of delivery vehicles and launchers so this this act is supposed to set an example for a lot of other countries and to the. you know the fact that the two countries are showing commitment to the goal of nonproliferation is very important for a lot of people but even with those cuts both countries will still have more than ninety percent of the walls nuclear weapons so many really great that the value of the arms reduction treaty as you already mentioned about that is not just in

reductions it's in the trust and cooperation between the two nuclear superpowers that goes with it and we are talking about reset here for weeks and months the president of the united states all members of his administration the military all living former secretary of state and of the fans were calling for senators not to ruin this reset opportunity for u.s. russia relations and actually obama has been tirelessly stressing that other doors for cooperation with russia could be closed without this one. and as i said everyone is really optimistic about this vote and that and russians are also very anxious to open this new page of cooperation with the united states with this treaty ratified with. the u.s. senate tonight so with your help your across it very much who calls for us as well bruce the latest from washington d c o two is going to come thank you. many times

for the next twenty minutes of music if and when the situation for change of my favs. and later this hour we look at the russian efforts to keep the fighting out of football and become a real feel like nationalist movement promised to putin as a word to them about why they need to be kept on. russia's most female most famous female agent is now starting a political career as one of the leaders of a youth movement anna chapman became no worldwide after the spy scandal earlier this year between moscow and washington that saw agents from both sides being swapped parties tom barr and watched on a she took on her latest role. it was at this meeting of the young guards organization which was filled with a young audience looking towards a political future in russia that chapman turned up and gave her blessing to them she was elected to the public council of the organization and when she was given

the microphone she gave them some words of encouragement. you know so many people see power fame and money but does all these make us happy probably you simply need positive human emotions he would be less negative it in society each of us vocal with a smile and now he's learned i will close my eyes in the matters most if you dream the ability to use well that might seem a little bit rich coming from chapman who has pursued quite ruthlessly the goals of publicists and fame and fortune but if we used to say maybe do what she says and not what she does she may not be the best spokesman ever but as one of the organizers here joked to was wherever she goes she's brilliant for publicity because she's followed by a massive pack of cameras she's certainly very notorious aspiring supposedly uncovered in the us and it was on the chapman being deported back to russia as part

of a spy swap since then you would have thought her coming home with her tail between her legs that she would have been really put into obscurity quite the opposite has happened she's turned into a huge celebrity since then she has been appointed as advisor to one of the one of the russian banks she's traveled to baikonur to see a space rocket fly up to the to the international space station and perhaps most notoriously of all she says she has been in a number of photo shoots the most raunchy of all being for the russian edition of maxim magazine and her firm fertile figure carrying a reputation before her so the question really is is she going into politics well who knows but if this organization wanted to be a p.r. figure they could have chosen a far worse one and a half less attractive one than mr chapman. artist tom barton a correspondent reporting there meantime fresh spy scandal is making waves right

now to moscow claiming the aspin are gelug ations against one of its diplomats who was expelled from london are baseless russia's foreign ministry says it's regrettable that this quote unfriendly move is happening while both countries work on patching up their strained relations artie's more on that has more from the british capital. william hague the foreign secretary wrote a letter to the house of commons explaining what had happened he said that britain had indeed expelled a diplomat from the russian embassy in london they requested that diplomats expulsion on december the tense after what hague is calling clear evidence of russian intelligence service activities acting against british interests here in london then we are also hearing of course from the other end that there was a tit for tat expulsion from the bush embassy in moscow and in response to that expulsion from moscow william hague said that britain rejects any basis for that particular action despite the fact that of course it was only a response to war what the foreign office here had done this of course is

a huge embarrassment for the foreign secretary william hague who when he took office as recently as may this year said that he vowed to improve relations with moscow and him fat went to moscow and met with president dmitri medvedev which is quite a rare occurrence for a lower official than the prime minister and then do a visit by david cameron which is supposed to take place early next next year now whether that will affect the timing of that visit is obviously not clear yet william hague the foreign secretary says that he still wants to have a co-operative and productive relationship with russia we saw another tit for tat expulsion in two thousand and seven following the career fair three diplomats were expelled from each side then as well and that was in protest from the british side a russian refusal to extradite lugovoy to face trial in the u.k. he is of course britain's prime suspect in the murder of alexander litvinenko since then there has been attempts on various sides to push what they're calling the

reset button in russia u.k. relations this could have serious implications for that reset button. or to use laura to our correspondent in london who was alone through tonight in the new look web site of. hundreds. the approach of president. victory and get more on what's been happening there on the streets of the capital and why we have a lot more background story. to become the winner for the twenty four. everything from. flying creatures vying to represent russia take a look at some of them. next

tonight china is looking to offer some financial muscle to beleaguered european economies to help ease them out of their debt crisis the suggestion to buy up some of the sovereign debt came at a high level meeting with the e.u. in beijing economist mark polly told me why china is looking west. i think that there's a number of issues here one is this extends china's political influence in europe by making a lot of european states dependent on china to buy to buy their debt this will help them massively in the next round of trade talks and create significant leverage political leverage with regards to further trade talks also it allows china perhaps to slow down the appreciation of the year one as the europeans and the u.s. have been really going on about for quite a few years now the chinese even many ways are are massively overexposed to the

u.s. treasury bills this allows them a way of diversifying from that but also u.s. treasury bills are very low yielding at present so high yielding distressed european debts may well seem way of diversify away from from treasury bills russian football fans are finding themselves caught of the middle of extreme nationalists notoriety it's after ethnic riots were sparked by the death of a spartak moscow found thoughts have been killed by a caucasus man earlier this month prime minister vladimir putin has been meeting with leading football fan clubs calling on them to resist the influence of the far right. a history lesson for an unlikely audience talking to football fans still fuming after the recent clashes with ethnic minorities led to me pushing carefully navigated between giving a pap talk and showing yellow cards but show much that you need throughout its

history russia has always had a strong immunity to nationalism and gena phobia but now it seems this immunity has started to slacken and you can see that in the activities of the fan movement to nationalistic calls are sometimes heard of the stadiums beginning of a football fan in moscow allegedly by caucasus man and he subsequently released by seemingly bright policeman prompted days of ethnic riots the violence left dozens injured and to death there is by surprise it clearly revealed the tensions between slavic nationalists and the north caucasus minorities is to get the dems a check of it but i wouldn't bet ten cents on a russian man who would show disrespect to the qur'an in the north caucasus i don't think his health would stay intact but people from the north caucasus when they move to central russia also have to respect local traditions customs and laws but only this way by respecting each other and we fully utilize the multicultural strength of our country. like in any multinational country hate crimes in a form be are nothing new for russia but never before had the situation spun out of

control so quickly that groups hounding darker skin passers by just steps away from the kremlin all the more embarrassing for russia so soon after securing the right to host the two thousand and eighteen world cup. is working very hard to mobilize football. into a different nationalist the new nazi group. during a lot of propaganda with a lot of success not to me putin struck a similar note praising fan clubs for their free spirit he called on them to retain that ideological independence and avoid being swayed by nationalism and he sent to school. this particular goal these fans from the same region where they found suspected murderer came from so that regard most of that in this city football fans in russia have the same event to look forward to for most of. which is for the world cup to come to russia for so long put so much effort but there are still some

forces who want to prevent the championship from coming to our country. and the provocations. while police didn't confirm any such conspiracy theories after intense public pressure rearrested the suspected murderer and opened a fresh investigation while the prime minister criticized the fans for unsporting behavior he also admitted that the clashes may have never flared up for it wasn't for the corruption and involved that the only way to avoid such clashes in the future is to create a level playing field for everyone kind of worker or theme. it's been reported that u.s. commanders in afghanistan are pushing to extend their presence in pakistani tribal areas the new york times quotes an anonymous american official who claims special forces will start targeting militants across the border opening a new front that something the u.s. military denies washington has been using unmanned drones to strike suspected

insurgents in bases in pakistan it's often accused of killing civilians in the process as i'm about for its part is being strongly protesting against the attacks describing them as violating its territorial sovereignty pakistani officials say they are capable of handling the militants by themselves kelly spoke to us she complains against u.s. led war she says america's military establishment is simply hoping for more money. it seems to me that the united states would have an effect similar to what has happened in the past here in afghanistan along with the drone attacks the invasion of a sovereign country by a united states joint special operations who is means attacking the death squads and assassinations and night raids would exacerbate the tremendous almost tidal wave of anti-american sentiment amongst the public united states

establishment military industrial complex companies have learned that you can make an enormous profit you can stuff your financial portfolios and run to the bank and that you can do this in another limited way and they've learned that lesson and they would like to continue it but as far as what the united states might have learned from listening to people on the ground who are in touch with those who bear the brunt of the united states work there i'm talking about the families whose loved ones have been slaughtered i'm talking about families where people are now widow and orphan the united states doesn't learn from listening to the cries in the pleas of people who beg us to stop the killing. and he will come painted kathy kelly speaking to r.t. and later on of the channel we hear from american not war veterans who found themselves fighting their own conscience. they are killing innocent. boys call of course and that's never i am.

almost sorry for the skull still with me i think of it every day. before i start trouble to memory. the same time. i was. i was ashamed that i had been. i was ashamed that i had been a. go go. forward. what i was going on was the right thing. that i was a good soldier. but you know most soldier on the other side and i think i'm just as good.

i'm not programs on here throughout the day today. yet some will do is a break from good citizens to leave by the political crisis in the african state erupted into deadly violence be un secretary general on the situation is becoming increasingly volatile and risks a return to civil war but said un peacekeepers are being forced out by the incumbent president recognized as rivals election victory more than fifty people have reportedly died since the ballot. students of marched against university budget cuts that are expected to be approved by housing as demonstrated alone groans main highways causing gridlock. education and suffering from some bothersome palermo to good most much peaceful contrast with last week's riots who saw several hundred injuries after prime minister berlusconi said. no confidence vote. you might expect the language used by around ten million people to be fairly well

supported but for death people here in russia communication it seems goes no further than their own community sign language is still not officially recognized or pushed over a port somewhere silent struggle. sofie aleksey called hear the song. for her from the family. yet he sings it with his hands touching. that was that i am a and he tells me he speaks the most beautiful language in the world. and so despite living in the world of silence aleksey and his fellow the foremost put on a show full of life and music our. audience appreciates this theatre

of deaf actors is an exception in the world mostly costella to those speaking with their hands. even the language doesn't officially exist all previous attempts to possible giving official recognition to the russian sign language have failed the problem dates back more than seventy years when sign language was banned from soviet schools in one nine hundred fifty stalin made the situation even worse by calling it not even as solid a language unlike what some might think it's not a primitive way of conveying basic information it's a fully fledged language capable of expressing just about anything more. than the. racial. you know.

the head of the old russian federation of the deaf believes there are more than ten million hard of hearing people in the country but no interpreters no t.v. channels almost nothing to ease their interaction with the world that. he's one of four children the only deaf one in the family. this is the for the hard of hearing and has stopped and. they may not hear but they're not mute and they love talking.
