warm welcome to see this is the line from moscow i'm now the man named the merchant of death in the west will have to wait at least another eight months to find out whose face a u.s. judge has ruled the russian businessman big that a boot will stand trial in a new york federal court in september he's facing challenges of conspiring to kill americans and supply weapons to terrorists. it was definitely an interesting and interesting hearing we saw a picture 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 essential 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 beets 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 and 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 time 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 terrorists 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 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. this is 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. forty four year old of it who has no chance of a third child in the u.s. that's according to an investigative journalist and then was used in washington

d.c. wayne matheson i think if victor boot was allowed to write his memoirs and it was made into a movie it would be a blockbuster because he knows enough to maybe point the finger at a lot of u.s. officials and especially in the bush cheney three he says he's getting a lot of bad press of course he's getting bad press from the wall street journal from fox news you know the same people who have interest with war the war books and merchants of death and washington post reporters and whatnot is going to get a fair trial here a lot of people question whether the rule of law actually even applies to the united states anymore since we have federal judges and prosecutors probably feel more at home trying cases in equitorial guinea or me in mar. i doubt he's going to get a fair trial here. to a mountain ash area his thoughts on the complex case of russian businessman. protests planned in norway later today against the deportation of a russian born in legal immigrant who was once named norwegian of the year many

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 cue. to. assume. to another. employment. many people agree with the christian democratic party. 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 is still way to deport him in fact the justice ministry says the two cases just can't be compared we want to return cricket as well but we cannot. because he is. he will probably be executed and we

has left national negation to not return to those who will face serious violations and executions that is not the case. the case she will not be persecuted in russia maria i believe was born. because in north the setia and it's still her family fled in fear of their lives is the result of a business deal gone wrong she's also reported to be a close relative of. the last defense minister of the soviet union so it's a well connected family and no successor to him 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 than russian and cools. but it's a hope she looks more and more likely to have to give up. we've got

sergei lavrov. of measures have been taken but frankly speaking not much has changed russia the united states of germany great britain france and china really need to put their heads together in order to move the situation of the current deadlock iran still hasn't officially replied to the international atomic energy agency's proposal to enrich uranium abroad and supply iran with a nuclear fuel for its peaceful nuclear reactors the us providing into rational control over the entire process instead to grant says that it will continue developing its nuclear program despite even possible attacks on its nuclear facilities there is and is a labor rights for nuclear energy or any technology and nobody can blink get this right therefore principle and no compromise on those pretty simple at any price has given us the strength and power meanwhile the leaders to force sanctions is still

a thing or two from india even though not as much money is flowing into the country afghans claim they are more concerned about making the everyday lives of local people better. it's no secret money can't buy you love but it's a lesson still to be learned 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 want india in. history of friendly relations between afghanistan and india india is our only neighbor who does not interfere in our internal fears 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 general i can find lots of african speak

my language or indian c.d.'s or indian or books and on language is a very simple. and india's role particularly in the medical and construction industries here hasn't gone unrecognized 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 basic things like day in the street in other things but i'm in a cunt doesn't and also whenever they start a would go to start a project in afghanistan they're completing the 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. the

afghanistan love you my experience is just better it implementing projects than the united states us projects often suffer from in a fish and sea and bad blimey. india is clearly held in high regard and it seems they haven't had to buy this positive reputation a fact that could leave american scratching the heads as they continue to bank will be a costly afghanistan strategy point c. r r t kabul. curator got some more world news this hour now at a former haitian that will devalue as core for national reconciliation his longest speech since returning to the world he also apologized to the victims of his fifty year the former dictator was deposed nearly twenty five years ago when a popular uprising on wednesday he was briefly detained and child corruption says women and other alleged crimes during his rule the valley has returned has drawn

another level that descending into dangerously freezing waters beneath a thick layer of ice i have a bet it's 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 still having in russia is a popular sport but it's not something to be taken lightly the 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 and 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 who don't want to exit the surface contact must not be

lost. some of us know it's crucial that the rope is always kept taut and it's also can pull on at once to ask them if they're ok let's see the target wants to telling me it's all right down there that's how we communicate through it 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 curly up fantastic acting like a new man each diver has to air regulators in case one of these is a common problem with temperatures outside well below zero and then leaks and the equipment needs defrosting in the water it's two degrees celsius with the right gear maximum dive time is forty minutes that's what it feels like we start with thermal underwear to take any moisture away from the body then a thicker thermal under jacket for the dry suit on top we were close to but you

jones lang with south believes inflation could drop towards the end of the year. i would agree with people expecting double digit inflation within the two thousand and eleven it's very likely that the newest moms to will reach double digits again unfortunately for us but at the same moment i expect the piece of food inflation to decrease significantly and together with before reaching the from stop inflation at the same moment the total inflation level will decrease again to one level that's nine point five i expect by december two thousand and eleven. now all prices could hit a record two hundred dollars per barrel in the next decade that's according to jim rogers who co-founded the quantum fund together with george soros the investor said this shop upsurge would be driven by fast growing demand from asia to date black gold was at its highest in mid two thousand and eight when it topped one hundred thirty five dollars a barrel another reason for oil prices going that high is the shortage of known reserves that are declining here. the ban on german pork imports will not cause any
