3:01 pm
hello this is the news channel my name's kevin owen it's now eleven pm here in moscow and our top story for you 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 really came to norway in around eating and published a book revealing corruption in its immigration system after that the order came to be kicked out of his door emmott reports. this is 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 an office that her family felt when she was quite a young girl that they had to leave russia arrived in norway roundabout two thousand and two where they applied for asylum but their application was refused by
3:02 pm
the family decided that they would prefer to stay as illegal immigrants but what seems to have happened is that she learnt 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 a degree and then she wrote a book which she has now had published which published publicize 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 last week and when police turned up to a lecture that she had been giving a restaurateur outside that lectures about the first she knew of her application for having been refused well it seems certainly from speaking to people here on the street and 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
3:03 pm
was able to return home for a short while and then here in norway there is also quite a gruesome paradox between. 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 us and the un 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 to. 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 and of course it's a terrible paradox for ordinary people to see. this fantastic girl that everyone loves. this person that. is. not
3:04 pm
very popular to say the least a constant sort of nuisance to norwegian society is able to stay 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 a chechen terror group so really it seems desperately unfair in a situation like this that someone like maria amélie 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. turned a blind eye to in european countries. you're

3:07 pm
has many internal squabbles but one thing we all have in common is that they frequently visit the u.s. embassy in moscow fresh files from wiki leaks published by the newspaper consul moscow to reveal that they often requested financial and political help but washington's officials got tired of the constant pleases artie's nataly never called. authority call talks about the inability of the russian opposition leaders through law be their interest 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 ranking u.s. 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
3:08 pm
even though during the bush administration the us has shown support to the countries opposition the situation has changed nowadays and it is up to russian activists to build up their relations with their administration with very true larding 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 reset it's over the relations between russia and the united states but i 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 u.s. ambassador to russia to that's was that it shows the fact that russia's opposition do not have at the same understanding of democracy as americans do. as well to investigate the germans webster webster tarpley he believes the wiki leaks only reveals that the position or movement in russia still things in cold war terms is

no real political influence. what we see in these papers is the russia director of the national security council michael mcfaul who is interested in grooming barbarous nemtsov as a candidate to stop putin from becoming president again in two thousand and twelve which befell obviously thinks is is what's going to happen and it seems to me that the gaggle of people that they have working for them are not going to be adequate to the task folly as is someone who goes back quite a ways in russia his history in the in the one nine hundred ninety s. was to support everything that yeltsin did because the u.s. was supporting yeltsin it was shock therapy that was democratic it was sending tanks to shoot up the parliament that became democratic and now he looks at this this group of opposition which includes skinheads and national bolsheviks and the fascists in every way he says we're going to somehow get these people together
