good to cheat every green loser to know. what lies beneath bombs and up in the nets of a tie and fisherman who say the waters that feed them are contaminated by nato is old weapons while the public is being kept in the dark. they can all agree with tactics people in the us fight back against a sturdy and financial inequality and throwing more subtle forms of civil disobedience. russian heroin users one drug replacement treatment legalized but doctors are worried it will only create a new breed of addict. what you are taking to live from moscow i'm marina josh welcome to the program it's a list adriatic coast often described as

a paradise for sea lovers is being poisoned from beneath for decades natives used the area to dispose of nuclear material and it's now feared hazardous chemicals have spread to tourist hotspots and fishing areas majesty has looks into claims the alliance and the time government are working to keep the truth hidden from the public. on this quiet stretch you see there is more than meets the eye this area of the mediterranean has been a minute she dumping ground ever since world war one enormous amount of weaponry in talks which is present in these waters u.s. bombs from the forty's and need a weapons used in the one nine hundred eighty nine war against serbia including depleted uranium i mean these weapons often contain toxic substances such as sulfur mustard gas and phosphorus. and italian investigative journalist spent years trying to uncover it has secrets johnny landis has received death threats and been attacked this footage by landis reveals some can vessels in toxic waste on the

seabed of pull u.s. coast fishermen has said the presence of the major weapons is seriously affecting their lives and posing a threat to local ecosystem in that there are areas where these bombs keep ending up in our nets we try and avoid them following the war ninety ninety nine the fish are practically disappeared from our waters we come across have affected our health too causing skin rashes blood vision and so forth fishermen have had to quit their jobs because of the scarcity of fish but fishing co-operative in the seaside town are more fit to emporia was once comprised of almost two hundred members now there are just five natives says there are six contaminated areas along their dratted coasts but land is claims this is just the tip of the iceberg and i mean tito nature was lying twenty four areas are affected not six the location of these areas have not even be made public the population is being kept in the dark quatro has repeated attempts to raise the issue with his defense minister have led to nothing

and the legacy of years of military dumping continues to be felt to this day with a local fisherman of siller waiting on says from nato we do everything we will. when. and. following. that will. but landis believes nato hasn't yet turned up to its responsibilities should be economic conversation for those affected europe need to and above all the united states must be held accountable the beautiful water of the adriatic coast line with stretches from the gulf of venice to the union sea are a magnet for tourists and provide a livelihood for telling fishermen but ducking beneath the waves more than just fish matthew stevens most fish in the southeast of italy for tea. and

people caught in the eye of america's financial crisis are fighting back but instead of taking to the streets carrying placards and shouting slogans some of those hit by falling wages and high unemployment are employing a new tactic economic disobedience artie's lauren lesser takes a look. the only language that they understand and shutting down in the us most are familiar with the age old protest tactic of civil disobedience we usually mob protests you're supposing what's established standing somewhere with signs would be civil disobedience but these days with rising inequality and low wages in the us being a pressing issue many researchers and activists are documented wages are falling cutting benefits for people taking away their pensions there is evidence of a different form of disobedience now taking place all over the country may not be a part paid to the papers there are no statement making a right this is left with

a razor heard call it economic descent i may not see it but it is going on underground. and poor neighborhoods in new york city some residents organized to raise a little money to buy subway cards offering unlimited rides they swipe as many people in as they can to give them a free ride here were resisting ferrites were resisting the cost of living is going up in so many ways for all the one of the activists who organizes this form of disobedience most importantly it's in response to an economic system he sees as unfair and taxes are being cut for wealthy people in their bailouts for banks and wall street. are never going to reach his people in this neighborhood so we just think that's wrong an american sociologist found the subversion of the system going on all over the country but she found these acts among business managers in the

middle class helping out their employees they really were about the fact that wages for some are these were managers who felt as though the people working for them during a jobs being responsible were still unable to take care of their families she found grocery store managers sending bags of food home with were. fast food managers padding paychecks with overtime wages she also found most of these managers believe breaking the rules is wrong but these people were saying that there are much bigger wrongs and ignoring the fact that people who are working very hard for you are i mean able to feed their children in the minds of some people at least what has become a bigger wrong in their eyes it's a bigger wrong people are breaking the rules to make right whether it's in all these low income new york neighborhood neighborhood people who don't really have much of a political voice or whether it's behind the closed office doors of the middle class breaking the rules because of the economic imbalance in the country and what

seems in america to be the rising disobedience of modern day that are going to bail us out this is what will do to there was also more in mr r.t. new york here with r t still a lot coming up in the program including judicial vulnerability. children lawyers complain of official harassment and even imprisonment for charges if we read the details in just a few minutes. now to look at accusations in india that some people are making a business out of accepting charity and keeping to the nations under the guise of nonprofit organizations. former drug users in russia are pushing for the increased use of methadone to help those in heroin beats their addiction some have even taken the issue to the united states nations at artie's sarah ferguson went to find out why some doctors are ganster the use of methadone as

a substitute. in russia more than two million people are addicted to legal drugs finding a way to combat this remains a critical challenge i started when i was very young i was interested in anything that altered my state of mind and i didn't have any principles i cheated lied install nothing was beneath me stanislav life since has been a battle against addiction but he now works to help others ava come there as his story is very similar to arena to prince guy is his drug addiction destroys her life is why she wrote to the u.n. calling for the implementation of an a.p. substitution program at the moment that's illegal in russia you know about the harm reduction programs are now working and there is no replacement therapy program this is the reason i wrote my letter but having gone through rehab can self stance of this agrees that substitution therapy is the way forward. active drug

addiction is uncontrollable substitution is still an addiction we would create a time bomb russia's rehab centers focus on finding ways to control the addiction not simply replace it if your substitution replaces heroin with drugs such as method a the effects last longer but they don't give the uses a high is supposed to enable us to lead a normal life without suffering withdrawals the health ministry has come under increasing pressure to sanction a substitution therapy but they say that there's no scientific evidence to prove that it actually works. in reality methadone treatment is a dangerous payoff simply switching one addiction for another two would be welcome this morning i had a new patient in a hospital he was addicted to heroin for a long time and then decided to quit drugs and switch to methadone maintenance to try and cure his drug addiction and so now we haven't checked in as

a methadone drug addict stanislav in arenas stories a sad ones that they're all too common internationally the war on drugs is being hard fought but not everyone is winning drug addiction means a huge problem in russia as is the rising number of people that a contract hiv through intravenous drug. store owners every person has the right to express his or her opinion and that's what i did my life has been broken i think any sane person can understand that addiction was now my choice i didn't want to contract hiv tuberculosis hepatitis and slowly die. i mean his letter doesn't change russia's stance on substitution therapy but it does once again bring into sharp fakirs the very real needs to find a suitable alternative so our fair r.t. moscow. and for any of the stories we're covering here on our team could always log onto our website that's our dot com here's

a look at what's there right now. a russian woman accused of spying in the u.k. is forced to wait months for a deportation hearing moscow is demanding charges are pressed or set free by british authorities. also a new way to get around a harsh russian winter is a hollow crowd that go up to one hundred fifty kilometers per hour over almost any terrain. now some n.g.o.s in india stand accused of putting up a front to help the needy but not giving money to those who actually need it a number of schools set up to help the poorest of the poor are allegedly turning out to be fake artists current saying investigates the people in india earning a living by for tanning to be a charity. welcome to this school in eastern india the building

and classrooms may look functional but classes of rarely held here. that's because it exists only to attract foreign tourists to donate money to the school trustees. so if you think we're running a business here you're quite right this is how i feed myself by the way there are other n.g.o.s here who take money and don't even have any facilities. sounds like it could be i'm sure there's a good work being done. and this is good work so that you can start using it maybe you give money to. time in the future. with india estimated to have one third of the world's poor and many drive to donate their time and money to a good cause when they visit. marie from france wanted to work with children and contacted you luckily for her it was genuine and her money helped make

a difference we. made some donations and. this is money to make you have to pay. to chair but you can never be sure that the money you don't need is put to good use there are four million names you with again and this huge number is compounded by the highly on organized nature of the nonprofit sector there is no uniform accounting policy order porting framework. there are many n.g.o.s that run schools and government manufacturing but the only run during the tourist season but when the season ends and their activities also wind down children start going to school and then in winter when the tourist season starts again these n.g.o.s drag the children from the surrounding villages back to the schools but some groups are working towards increasing and you accountability through annual reviews and accreditation oxfam is

a leading international donor and works with two hundred fifty local partners across india it conducts regular order to ensure its programs are implemented professionally we need to push our partners really and see that you know unless you meet some minimum standards we will not fund you anymore because we are the only thing and you also have if you don't look at global surveys we have the public's trust. without i think many times awning it they just give it to us because they think we're doing good work we have it we need to not only men pee in it we need to grow it and if we don't move fast enough then a few scandals in the sector could really bad very fast with n.g.o.s in india raising over eight billion dollars in funding every year the stakes are very high the government has banned forty one in jews from receiving foreign funds in the past few years and recently revised a nine hundred seventy six law that oversees in joules but do we see a single set of accountability procedures this will continue to lack transparency

and that could hurt those most in need got and seeing r t but. and there is a growing movement in washington for the top u.s. and nato commander in afghanistan to get a fifth star the highest rank given to past military giants like president eisenhower but artie's military contributor of gannicus of sas eradicating drug trafficking hubs in afghanistan rather than promotion should be the main priority for general petraeus. on the fourth of july general petraeus was assumed the demotion in duty and to the command of your ass and nato forces in afghanistan as the four star general of the fifth star to general patrols would also promote the image status and legitimacy of foes in afghanistan and in pakistan. and their pakistani and afghan associates now the third venue to take would

be to ask general petrov's want to hear things about these type of recombination to give him a defeat star i bet my bottom dollar that this is not on his top priority the least because for general petraeus the number one priority should be and i hope it will be this year is still zero in on the real challenge him on declaring war off against their afghan people and its neighbors that is the real challenge in undeclared war that the u.s. congress has yet to officially endorse before considering to make the first you as general a thief star commander on the theory or off operations it could be only petrou knows whether the four star or otherwise who can really pull all of this straight and i wish him well to make this mission accomplished and to get the job done

and the u.s. would like to present afghanistan as a country getting off its nice but after a long spell of occupation or war corruption a state you have a toll watch our special report on where american money intended for afghanistan really goes later this hour here on our team. repairing a broken thing should be. highway construction and humanitarian aid. but it's a shady official spoke at the spoils of war it's the people who pay the price. profiteering here is no longer just down to drug trafficking. afghanistan the dollar. and lawyers in georgia say there are no longer able to work on hand or in some insist they are at risk of harassment from the government or even imprisonment simply for trying to protect their clients are barred found accusations of a judicial system turning on its defenders. being

a lawyer in georgia isn't easy these days as mahmoud knows all too well he was a successful practicing lawyer but he ses fell foul of government pressure so he found himself locked up they wanted to imprison me and they did so i spent two years and seven months behind bars in america ses he was asked to force his clients to plead guilty. when i didn't agree to cooperate they found a person detained for stealing a mobile phone and send him to my office to take me as a lawyer the prosecution then offered him a plea bargain either he is sentenced to prison or testifies against me in court saying that he paid me one hundred seventy dollars for legal consultation and i swindled him it's estimated that georgia currently has around two hundred lawyers either in prison or awaiting sentencing mostly on fraud charges government critics say the real reason they're locked up is because they refused to make deals with

prosecutors should people and those lawyers who did not do the will of the very thing is not work complete bargains and instead conduct real legal defense of the clients are considered enemies of the state. the state however does not agree in his end of year statement the supreme court chairman said that justice in georgia was becoming more trusted and deservedly so. you're going to get forty two percent more civil cases were brought this last year compared to two thousand and eight this data points at a greater trust of the population in the judicial system and a very small number of cases were appealed to the highest judicial authority this last year. it's not enough for a lawyer who puts her practice when she claims she grew fed up of the country's legal system attacking its own militias i wish to see the end of same as prosecutors try to influence advocacy by resting on this cream an eighteen against those who don't cooperate you see me as a simply told not to hire said moon on the threat of habeas sentences i simply

realized that my job became a lie. the result being that not only did lawyers lose that freedom georgians lose the chance of a trial lawyers in question say they just want to get on with doing their jobs but it's hard to defend your clients when you're living in fear of being imprisoned yourself boxen aussie base and. also take a look at some other stories from around the world and thousands of tourists have been flown out of tunisia on why security forces have taken strategic positions across the capital and reports call has been restored on sunday dozens of people were arrested including the top presidential security chief following major ground that the country's prime minister said that he may soon announce a new unity government following weeks of chaos for a living conditions and repression sparked protests which forced the president of twenty three years to flee. and a glance on am a boss in northwestern pakistan has killed at least eighteen people and fifteen

others were injured initial reports suggest that a gas cylinder may have blown up by officials now say around ten kilograms of explosives were planted inside the van the blast was in a target area where militants frequently carry out attacks against both civilians and security forces. china's president says the international currency system led by the us dollar is a product of the past which entails that steps were being taken to replace it with china's national currency but it will be some time before that is accepted and he was speaking had a visit to washington this week the u.s. often accuses china of minutes. waiting in line to help boost exports. and it's the prospect of currency wars which is the subject of today's cross talk you know a valid looks at whether it's an issue that could sink the global financial recovery watch the program later today but first here's a quick preview. if you want to see where the u.s.

is going look at the model it's taking in that europe is taking latvia and iceland the problem with the mortgage market and america versus china is here it wasn't fannie mae that did it it was the massive fraud by commercial banks shame on them. on the banking system it was fraud that brought it down and nobody has been sent to jail at all in fact of the fraudsters have been rewarded in china the banks or state banks and others are really are there is are you actually saying. you are actually saying that are you actually saying that the united states over the last ten years has been moving in the direction of free markets we've had the most incredible explosion of government spending government intervention bell outs handouts subsidies i mean this isn't neo liberalism and a classical liberal sounds this is video shows it is ok there you. go we need to do your.

time now for a business update with kareena. business with a clean well again good to have you with us we'll go straight to our top story b.p. has agreed to swap five percent of its stock worth around eight billion dollars in exchange for nine and a half percent of russia's state oil producer ross snapped a multi-billion dollar partnership between two companies will see both exploit potentially massive oil and gas deposits in russia's arctic continental shelf because i can see with off the head of the national energy security fund says that the asset swap alone makes this a hugely significant deal in this space but we see a very serious idea so the exchange of facets of it is

a way even if there will be more real project than i will show but i hope of course b.p. will be resting on our show project because really a serious investment in not only investment we need also serious you can always use and b.p. is one of the believe that you were speaking about self production and of course after the story mexican girl there were a lot of critics about b.p. but you must remember that the deep all these well was more than one thousand five hundred meters that is why we need this to creeks and that is why i think that there will be some progress but even if there will be no real launching of projects in i will serve all knew he was speaking about exchange of presence was already of a serious view. now let's have a look at the markets european markets are holding to a tight range ahead of a meeting of european finance ministers to discuss the region's debt prices rose two point three percent after the announced an alliance with russia's rosneft against the world john helped lift the taste footsie start of the trading now here
