growing influence in the u.s. is making people there look east. this is our t. welcome if you just joined us it's now nine pm here in moscow and our top story tonight a woman who was voted norwegian of the year is being deported from the scandinavian country as an illegal immigrant born in the russian region of north korea and we came to norway in a rainy teens and then published a book revealing corruption in its immigration system after that the order came for her to be kicked out. reports that's coming up in just a second we've got a little technical problem we hope to bring you that report in the second here it comes now. this is
1:02 pm
a girl who is now known as maria amélie but riginal name was muddiness alarm of a she was born in body cars the capital of north a setia her family felt when she was quite a young girl that they had to leave russia arrived in norway around about two thousand and two where they applied for asylum but their application was refused as the family decided that they would prefer to stay as illegal immigrants but what seems to have happened is that she learned to speak norwegian which is not a very easy language within a period of weeks and she was going to school here and she eventually gained most of his degree and then she wrote a book which she has now had published which published publicizes the plight of illegal immigrants here in norway and she applied in her own right for asylum and the first that her lawyer and she heard that her asylum application had been turned down it was last week when police turned up to a lecture that she had been giving and
1:03 pm
a restaurateur outside that let's just say that's the first she knew of her application for having been refused well it seems certainly from speaking to people here on the street and still of course to her lawyer that really all of norway is behind they've been turning out on to the streets to protest her arrest and to demand her release from detention that has now been achieved she has been released from detention and she was able to return home for a short while and then here in norway there is also quite a gruesome paradox between who the person i've just described well integrated intelligence access or clever and another asylum seeker who also lives here in norway a man called mullah krekar now he is a former leader of a kurdish terror group he's been declared a threat to state security by norway and he's also on the u.s. and the u.n. list of terrorists he cannot be to deported from norway because there is a threat that he might face the death sentence if you returned home to iraq i spoke
1:04 pm
to a lot. about this about this paradox that exists here and he told me how upset people in norway are about that the most popular political thing to say is we should get out of the country. and of course it's a terrible paradox for ordinary people to see. this fantastic girl that everyone loves is. this person that. is. not very popular to say the least a constant sort of nuisance to norwegian society is able to state this is part of a wider story really of the use asylum policy which has come under fire recently for turning a blind eye to terrorist suspects and people linked to al qaida in fact there was at the end of last year a europe wide investigation in twenty six people arrested in belgium and the netherlands and in germany in connection with a terror plot plot essentially raising funds for and recruiting for jihad and for
1:05 pm
a chechen terror group so really it seems desperately unfair in a situation like this that someone like maria amalie who has who is fighting to remain in norway the country that she has come to call home should be forced to leave where people like that are. turned a blind eye to and european countries. at a correspondent in london reporting now still to come on the program all is in the middle of the best you could have just published largest by bases in these decades of secrecy of. poppy cultivation of afghanistan's increase dramatically after the u.s. led invasion in two thousand and one and its most rampant in areas that are under control of foreign forces that's the view of afghan president hamid karzai an exclusive interview he gave to us at r.t. will afghanistan was. incomplete iraq. poppies were not so much there when the poppies were not but when the left and came poppies went
1:06 pm
up but didn't they were crushed and stopped and it was with the torch of rights now do i wonder too how come when the entire international community sort of canister would have so much talk of the war on drugs your education and all that there is such a rise in the cultivation of poppies where we are in charge of county government and people we have reduced use in twenty two provinces of afghanistan in some of those provinces we are completely eliminated. we are not in charge we want to province where there is taliban or with more foreign forces because in those provinces of course poppies of entries and that's a question because i was here in moscow for talks with dmitri medvedev the show you'll for friday russia is one of afghanistan's key allies in fighting drug trafficking in the country in october last year russian special forces help the
1:07 pm
afghan troops destroy several abara trees that produced heroin and other substances during his visit karzai plans to beef up russia's support in the war on drugs and other areas. the russian political opposition has many internal squabbles but one thing they all have in common is that they frequently visit the us embassy in moscow fresh files from wiki leaks published by the newspaper comes from pravda reveal that they often requested financial and political help but washington's officials got tired of the constant pleas as it is nataly not a cover found out. the article talks about the inability of the russian opposition leaders still lobby their interests on the domestic level and having to reach out to the third parties to achieve their goals in this case the third party being the united states of america now they believe that harsh criticism from the u.s. would ensure a healthy human rights ad most fear in the country but the response from one of the top per ranking u.s.
1:08 pm
security officials who spoke to the opposition leaders was that it shows the incompetence of the current opposition in the country and that they have to learn to negotiate with their thirty's on their own in achieving their goals and that even though during the bush administration the us has shown support to the countries opposition the situation has changed nowadays it is up to russian activists to build up their relations with their administration with very true lying on america so much has changed in the relation between russia and the united states since the bush administration of especially after the so-called resets of the relations between russia and the united states but it had of the presidential election in two thousand and twelve russia's opposition wants the united states to side with that in order to lobby their interests but the response from the us ambassador to russia to that's was that it shows the fact that russia's opposition
1:09 pm
do not have the same understanding of democracy as americans do. joe laughlin's red cross studies at the institute of democracy and cooperation in paris he told us the norm parliamentary opposition returns a cold war mindset. the american view judging from these documents is one of disappointment the opposition leaders are attacked and criticized for being hopelessly divided divided essentially by personality rivalries while the human rights activists derive to does being basically superannuated and marginal figures. we see a sort of disappointment really on the american side on the side of the american strategists with the people who they've been supporting for so long it's very clear that these groups both as i say the political groups and the theoretically nonpolitical ones are pursuing indeed what one can rightly call a cold war mentality to the extent that they are going beyond the boundaries of
1:10 pm
their own country and seeking help from foreigners. and there's more on that story on our new home page when you look at home page if not call it already r.t. dot com as well as other news of course blogs now as a chance to. see what else we've got online for you tonight at r.t. dot com. i think it's created and then if i am now those charges that are put forward in the card against it to boot i don't believe it is accusations that the american press was talking about more than ten years what i expect from a forthcoming trial of a husband who's been extradited to the u.s. because she believes his case is simply a problem we've got her exclusive interview on our website and i want to check it out started dot com also if you need to relax a bit city life works pretty much we've got an online yoga blasting class next part instructions all on how to take even a piece of cheik off the rest of the big city or we should all wish for the.
1:11 pm
more the day's big stories as the chinese leader visits the u.s. the two global powers can define their relations in terms of being partners or rivals with china on the rise american officials are getting nervous about losing their grip over global affairs right now but some say there's much the u.s. can learn from china rather than washington simply focusing on losing its role as global top dog. in forward reports and went into burger king with my son and i. think it's a z h u z z choose e z h u z h u and recognize the that is chinese for seven americans the word china elicits fear recognizing china's rise means recognizing america's decline and now we are

getting not our toys and our things that are a little happy meals which should be banned there so dangerous. not just our toys in the bag made in china. but the image and everything else culture coming from china. or others china elicits feelings of inferiority according to the pew research center forty seven percent of americans think china is the world's leading economic power only thirty one percent think america. that's certainly the opinion among students at millinocket school in maine which will welcome paying chinese students to close its budget gap next year i think the chinese are going to be total shock i think about high tech in a way more advanced than us like ten times more money in like in a better society and then you look at eisenhower away poor and nuffin as hu jintao towards the u.s. capitol american officials are eager to quell fears about what
1:13 pm
a rising china could mean for the world's only superpower still some analysts say that the united states should be focusing on what it can learn from china rather than merely containing it china knows how to develop they're doing it we are expanding going and consuming rather than saving and investing for the future a sentiment echoed by many we spoke to a lot to learn terms of productivity organizational resources and also having a culture that values hard work more than i think they're trying to develop their economy and share some of the wealth with the folks economically politically militarily china is on the rise. and while the u.s. put education on the chopping block this year china invested four percent of its g.d.p. in primary and secondary schools in poor rural areas chinese universities are mushroom in all across the country and increasingly attracting prestigious foreign professors and even american students like philadelphia native zachary franklin seemed. just a better decision to be in
1:14 pm
a country learning about economics where so much is happening economically getting a master's in shanghai doesn't mean crippling student loans chinese students themselves you know not playing absorbing amounts of money for an education in this country. china is also speeding ahead on high speed rail lines in massive infrastructure chinese officials say they will complete the first eco city by two thousand and twenty which will be home to three hundred fifty thousand as u.s. lawmakers squabble for years over who will foot the bill for every high speed rail link bridge or metro expansion rather just adds stream so we've got the whole interstate highway system we've got gigantic infrastructure projects in u.s. history the city more unified as a people are moving in a positive direction and i wish we could say the same president obama has plenty to put on the table as he hosts his chinese counterpart at the first us china state dinner but will the white house be equally eager to learn from its gas and ford r t

washington d.c. . alexandra govern marshall believes the u.s. and china are codependent but have chosen to compete for global leadership the rise of china is not against the prevailing edgemont in the world america but the rise of china is we in the hedge market system itself and what i mean by that is globalization which is a western driven reach driven project. has facilitated the rise of china from china rises so much as the west allows it to rise but now that china is stronger and feels more secure they're starting to you can issue gets on are you starting to try to create a consumption class which in turn itself become more self-sustaining. so americans have a very codependent relationship in which trying to finances america's debts allowing america militaristic around the world control resources american consumers trying
1:16 pm
these products which are cheaply benefiting and america so they're incredibly deep and in terms of finance. they're heavily heavily in the group but there's also it's gets a frantic relationship in a sense because they're also each other's greatest competitors and this is mostly seen as competition for global resources and this is been outlined in strategy in american since the early ninety's where the aim is to prevent the rise of the power by controlling world. china and the west value for the world's resources wall street isn't sitting idle oh no. explain how those beyond the u.s. financial crash of two thousand and eight read again and this time with government help the cause report. from now. this psychological profile of jamie dimon lloyd blankfein. and this guy bailey is that of the arsonist the arsonist likes to burn things down their pyromaniacs here on wall street got
1:17 pm
debt maniacs they like to destroy things with debt and they like the price of debt to be as cheap as a pack of matches. if the price of dead is a cheap as a pack of matches as it is now they can continue to burn things down to destroy the economy like they're doing at this very moment and what is the obama administration doing they are giving the pyromaniacs and the arsonists more starting fluid more lighter fluid more matches whatever they need to destroy the economy so you have to ask the question is obama in the pocket of the financial terrorists yes he says don't. more for marks of t.v. a couple of hours time next year crane investigators are looking into a double blast today which took place in the town in the east of the country no one was injured but those behind the explosions classified as terrorist acts threaten
