the noir all the alleged to rational that of brutal violence to challenge the legality of the us trial as his court date it said was september. well we've been saying no demonstrations planned mass protests to try and stop with deportation over russia born immigrants they say is an accepted society. and the atomics split cads wider with no solution in sight from the run nucleus tell. jokes over the wrongs nuclear program in istanbul her field with the six nations accusing each other of feeling to cooperate.

very warm welcome to you this is our team live from moscow with me alice have it the west calls the mud of death will face a new york jury in september is charged with conspiring to kill americans and supporting terrorism. and i watched as the russian businessman was committed for trial in the country which aware he considers him the world's most prolific africa . 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 were 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 picture was arrested in thailand two years ago 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 thailand that are now being used against a picture boot by the prosecution whether or not they were made legally under law this case is no joke for him if found guilty in the united states because of the charges he's facing that include conspiring to kill american citizens conspiring to support 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 quote kidnap a person to another country and try to on that country's territory the defense team has been saying in court that they're absolutely overwhelmed with the amount of documents that they have to deal with because this case 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 believe 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. well the life story would be a bestseller by any measure and that is without being given the carrot to athan a shit which hollywood delivered in the movie lord of pool for some unless it shows a high level fears in washington about all it could be revealed by the business men

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 administration 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 interests with florida war books that 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 month and sharing his thoughts on the complex case of rush into business when in fact the. now she's young intelligent and popular in norway yet the country that crowned rush limbaugh want to. model citizen is throwing her out the wages all

theories with a decision and hundreds of currently protesting against all of they see of double standards more emmett's reports from. even though she came to norway with her parents as a child speaks fluent norwegian and completed a master's degree here maria 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 also a 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 and also hope to make it easier to change the q.

. to two to. two. to remember to implement. and i think 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 the national obligation to not returned those who will face serious relations and executions that is not

a case of the family case she will not be prosecuted in russia maria i believe was born by gina salama for implies you have cows in north. setia and it still her family fled in fear of their lives is the result of a business deal gone wrong she's also reports it to be a close relative of. the last defense minister of the soviet union so it's a well connected family and no success in 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 gets more and more likely to have to give up. they were met by reporting from the norwegian the capital on the way for they to this hour wind love home be bored enough. it's the fear of winning downtown hopes and minds while america's

precise conditions under which these sanctions could be lifted which are approved by the united nations and these conditions sought for have not been met due to iran's a lack of cooperation and she also stressed that the international community and the six nations. would be iran's a peaceful nuclear program if we were assured in tehran peaceful intentions one at this moment of the international atomic energy agency has no proof of this and she stressed once again the representatives stressed once again. the doors are still open they are the are ready for cooperation with iran iran and cooling it's being scrutinized claims that is developing a peaceful nuclear program its intentions are peaceful as well as actually standing this is all quoting to the ukrainian representative is standing for a fool
