the trial date is set for alleged russian arms dealer vic to boot his lawyer claims his prosecution in the us is illegal and will prove it by september. stepping out in anger human rights groups and demonstrations across norway support a russian born legal immigrant facing deportation. and that's the follow day of nuclear talks for global heavyweights but iran is standing firm reason to justify its atomic program. without hebrew costing live from moscow all straight to our top story now the man

nicknamed the merchant of death in the west have to wait at least another six months to find out his fate the u.s. judge has ruled that russian businessman vick to boot will stand trial on a new york federal court in september he's facing charges of conspiring to kill americans and supplying weapons to terrorists and is to see churkin as more. it was definitely an interesting and interesting hearing we saw a picture of good he seems to have lost quite a lot of weight his hair has grown longer his wife his daughter and his mother were also present in the courtroom because this was the first time they got to see a glimpse of him in a very very long time and essentially what was going on inside the courtroom or several technical questions were being decided such as setting a trial date and also of course importantly the defense team presented to the judge that they're planning to file several motions concerning victor groups case among them is what they call the unlawful extradition of him to the united states of course a very big issue since as we know victor boot was arrested in thailand two years

ago courts decided that he was not guilty twice and then all of a sudden he gets extradited to the united states and issue which technically with many of his papers remaining in thailand which means the court is that the case is still going on there that's something the defense team is planning to address as well as issues of whether or not the recordings that were made of tile in thailand that are now being used against picture boot by the prosecution whether or not they were made legally under thai law this case is no joke for him because if if found guilty in the united states because of the charges he's facing that include conspiring to kill american citizens conspiring to support terrorist groups that the united states deems terrorist international arms trafficking that he's being accused of he's facing from twenty five years to a lifetime in jail there's been a lot of speculation about whether or not he has some information that the united states government might want to get from him we had an exclusive interview with his wife olive who told us that just because he might have some sort of information

interesting to someone does not mean it's ok to call kidnap a person to another country and try them on that country's territory the defense team has been saying today in court that they're absolutely overwhelmed with the amount of documents that they have to deal with because this. he says so deeply intertwined with ty law and justice and not just the u.s. law they have to make sure that all of the documents from thailand are also based and are legal what the prosecution is presenting so it's definitely a complicated case that's going to be dragging on for a while because of so many different countries involved in this situation. but the best of journalists daniel a student he's been closely following the case told us that the u.s. is talking through vic to put the american government has been after a big trouble since about midnight tonight he's not he's in the united states where he's going to be put on trial after all this to think for

a second the victim who has actually got to go home after proving his innocence of course is absolutely ridiculous he's not going to get a fair trial he's going to get a life sentence that is absolutely not one shred of evidence on big trouble there is nothing on victor board at all he was never an arms merchant he was not a merchant of death what he uses a transporter who actually remained in africa after being a translator beacon stayed for the soviet union basically fell apart and disappeared into oblivion and he remained there becoming a very well known and successful transport of merchandise so you have to understand the end game is russia then game is not a victory would be if they didn't have a terrible day would have simply invented another tool because again if you create a new one world government a one world company limited to one of these powerful organisations above government level for control what you need to do is you need to control the nations who can actually stand in your way and there is only one nation who has the military power to withstand this onslaught of that is russia. risk of journalist daniel a student there with his own perspective on picked up its case. protests are

planned in norway dated today against the deportation of a russian born illegal immigrant whose once named norwegian of the year really has lived in norway for almost a decade after going public with his situation an order came for her to be deported and this nor any reports the case has led to claims of double standards against the government. as maria believes supporters prepares to gather in central also for another demonstration to try and keep her in the country the battle looks lost even though she came to norway with her parents as a child speaks fluent norwegian and completed a masters degree here she's an illegal alien according to the government and must be deported but she feels norwegian and in two thousand and ten she was named norwegian of the year by an all slate magazine she's also written a book highlighting the plight of illegals in norway she's even been offered

a job writing for a different magazine but due to the vagaries of norwegian immigration law even that hasn't helped her the fact that she's already applied for asylum means it's now impossible for her to apply for a work permit the political party the christian democrats say that's totally unfair to make it easier to change the q assume too. soon to. consider employment. for the population at large her case invites comparison with that of another failed asylum seeker one mullah krekar he is the former leader of a kurdish terror group but he's on the un and the us is list of terrorists even though norway's declared him a threat to state security it still won't deport him in fact the justice ministry

says the two cases just can't be compared we want to return across well but we cannot because he is. he will probably be executed and we have. a financial obligation to turn those who will face serious violations and executions that is not to case. the family case she will not be persecuted in russia maria i believe. and it still her family fled in fear of heights is the result of a business deal gone wrong she's also reported to be a close relative of. the defense minister of the soviet union so it's a well connected family and no society and community leaders doubt that she would be in danger if she was to return but the fact remains maria i believe grew up in norway speaks more norwegian. i'm cool. but it's the hope she gets more and more

likely to have to give up. now that here's a taste of what's coming up a few later in the program spicy. afghanistan reports what's making the calls for in love with india out of love with america. the british are coming. and everything is under attack from entertainment to. russia's prosecutor general is on his way to the south of the country reported massacre took place on friday eight people were shot dead including six members of the same family the house and stuff. victims is under the edged crime what two children survived the attack including a month old. a special investigation commission set up to work on the case it's not the first attempt on a point to harm or a long criminal record since i was wife was killed in

a previous attack. the latest round of talks on iran's nuclear program is set to resume for a second day in istanbul tehran is trying to avoid a direct discussion of its atomic agenda with six world powers who want to guarantees the islamic state when to develop nuclear weapons u.s. officials say the thing is an agreement to meet again what is even pissing off the polls. the mean thing that the six nations need to focus on at the moment is establishing a concrete plan to move forward that's according to russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov let's face it a lot of measures have been taken but frankly speaking not much has changed russia the united states and germany great britain france and china really need to put their heads together in order to move this situation alex of the current deadlock iran still hasn't officially replied to the international atomic energy agency's proposal to enrich its uranium abroad and supply iran with the nuclear fuel for its

peaceful nuclear reactors thus providing international control over the entire process instead to grant says that it will continue developing its nuclear program despite anything even possible attacks on its nuclear facilities the emmys and any labor rights for nuclear energy or any technology and nobody can look at these right yet fourteen people and no compromise on those please people or at any price has given us a strange some power there meanwhile the latest the fourth set off are going to sanctions is still in force there are fewer limitations on the sale of arms to iran travel bans and asset freezes for some of the members of the iranian revolutionary guard planes and ships coming in and leaving iran are checked for banned cargo and countries or even banned from accepting investment from iran into a very nuclear programs and nuclear facilities will according to russia's foreign minister so for up to this point this set of sanctions has proven to be an

effective and another thing that the nations need to talk about is other ways other diplomatic ways to influence but situation video is also stressed that as soon as the i.a.e.a. has no more questions to iran over its nuclear program and tehran does manage to prove its peaceful intentions the dispute will be over iran will be able to develop a peaceful nuclear program under international supervision a win win situation. but unfortunately at the moment it's we do feel about that. we're going to afghanistan there where locals say americans could learn a thing or two from india even though not as many much indian money is flowing into the country afghans who claim they are more concerned about making the everyday lives of local people better parties poor slayer's details. it's no secret money can't buy you love but it's a lesson still to be learnt in afghanistan at least by the americans they've

invested some fifty billion dollars in the country india just over a billion and the result latest polls say one in two afghans want america out while three in four one to india in the money used to real friendly relations between afghanistan and india are only neighbors who does not interfere in our internal affairs on the streets of kabul you don't have to walk too far the flavor is often indian and the aroma and mistakenly spicy. in georgia ever i want i can find here lots of african speak my language there indians who do use the indian books and all languages are very similar and india's role particularly in the medical and construction industries here hasn't gone and recognised this is one of the projects both by the indians four years ago it brings water down from a river several kilometers away so that farmers here can easily cultivate their land these young afghans are all involved in development work they say will india

fall short in terms of cash support it more than makes up for in understanding the needs of afghanistan they're working in afghanistan on the basic things like dance training in other things but an american doesn't and also the whenever they start a would go to start a project in afghanistan they're completing their main complaint american projects are often inefficient and poorly resourced. while analysts say india is just better than america at developing projects afghans want and appreciate. you my experience is just better it implementing projects than the united states us projects often suffer from inefficiency and bad planning. india is clearly held in high regard here and it seems they haven't had to buy this positive reputation a fact that could leave american scratching me heads as they continue to bankroll

goober diving into a mysterious underwater world is enough to give any extreme sports enthusiast a rush but in the depths of the russian winter summer taking experience to another level they are descending into dangerously freezing waters beneath a thick layer of ice whether that it got to grips with the exhilarating sport. perched above the unknown with the icy depths below it requires guts to take the plunge. on the surface it's like a trap door to a sinister nether world but from below it's beguiling i starving in russia is a popular sport but it's not something to be taken lightly that divers are under the ice now which is around thirty centimeters thick the only sign left on the

surface is this rope that's their safety line they're attached to in case they get lost on the water because there is of course only one way out and that's here the maximum depth of the dive is nine metres but the rope allows a horizontal range of twenty with only one exit surface contact must not be lost. it's crucial that the rope is always kept taught when it's taught i can pull on at once to ask them if they're ok see the target wants to tell me it's all right down there that's how we communicate that it's these divers first time under ice they're taught theory to accompany three dives before getting their qualification it may not be the coral reef but that's not the point because for these divers it's all about breaking the ice. it could be a fantastic i feel like a new men each diver has to air regulators in case one freezes a common problem with temperatures outside well below zero and then leaks and the

equipment needs defrosting in the water is two degrees celsius with the right gear maximum dive time is forty minutes. we start with thermal underwear to take anymore if you're away from the body then a thicker thermal under jacket before the dry suit on top we were gloves to but you have to ensure the joints are watertight the hood should cover as much space as possible if it's too big your head cheeks and lips freeze. the most chilling scenario of ice diving he's going to dive illusions his mouthpiece all runs out of air then it's a case of holding your breath and not letting go. after bennett's r.t. . it's whether later works for the russian way of life in different cities around europe this week we get a taste for london. this

economic development ministry said it may even conduct two point three percent compared to one point six percent last year the first deputy chairman of russia's central bank admitted that if prices keep growing at such rates this year's inflation will surpass the target of six to seven percent and could reach double figures earlier i was joined by of getting a dog chief strategist at jones lang lasalle who told us what could be the main drivers for inflation this year i would say that in the nearest term and the first half of two thousand and eleven it's very likely that foodstuff inflation will be the major driver of price drool over the overall inflation in russia that will be the same not only for russia as i have already told from a good many countries worldwide and this will be a great day for not only monetary authorities but for. our interest of riches because. so connectivity is to be undertaken and it's definitely very likely that we may see two double digit inflation. by the end of the first water two

thousand and eleven it depends. how events will be developing but it's sort of like that when you just do three months when we return to double digit inflation closer to the end of the year it's very likely to become one digit nine point five that's what i expect by the year two thousand and eleven you know what do you think needs to be done to curb this kind of runaway inflation do you think we'll ever see western levels here. ok you for the u.s. for example is go in to push inflation higher and higher with another round of quantitative easing or yes the inflation may approach our levels but it's very likely that the russian official will not go that low as for example current u.s. inflation it's. very unlikely we will see two three percent of the news to us if we speak about russia it's more likely that here is inflation to approach double digit levels if. these opportunities if just because it's very likely that took place in a very little can be done simply because the inflation mostly comes from the. front

from the shortage of food which is seen in certain segments and the expectations have already been formed the moment when they have been has already been lost unfortunately. but look at the russian markets today they closed trading up on the day the r.t.s. in my sex for over three quarters percent. look oil and ross enough for both up close to two percent bucking the trend was gas pump shutting down over three four percent. and this week the russian markets were mainly dominated by all companies it all started on monday on news that b.p. and ross therefore together develop the russian arctic cause a natural shelf that's according to director of equity sales at investment bank michael stein the markets were exceptionally active this week triggered by monday's very substantial news in the lines between british petroleum and rosneft going to

spark a big rally in rosneft which was up three or four percent at one point among the other oil companies also benefit one likewise one this week we also saw substantial progress on. government will sector tax changes and in specific the market has been very optimistic that the government's going to cut the export duty on crude oil so those two developments underpin a lot of the buying we saw in the market in lukoil gas from to a lesser extent. and that's all the business news for now but you can always find watch stories on a website that's. business thanks for watching. very
