be looking at that another business stories in around twenty. this is our live from moscow welcome to the program a russian born immigrant formally named norwegian of the year has lost her battle to stay in the country. despite a massive campaign from her supporters maria family is expected to be deported from norway within hours but some more details now on the size of a developing situation from sarah first. tell us a bit more if you would about maria i'm on the story she lived in norway for almost a decade. well the norwegian government have insisted that she's an illegal immigrant and she has. but she's expected to be deported for a comeback kid. to russia in the next couple of hours we can hear from

a representative of the federal migration service that will have a range for her to be met when she arrives back in the country. he's a good country if there was an inquiry by who we can authorities into marrying i mean these cases at the end of twenty ten and she's a citizen of the russian federation we're planning to meet her to provide her with all the necessary documents she needs to stay in russia concerning her return to norway it's within the jurisdiction of the no we don't know story to use. now maria was born in russia or in florida kavkaz but her parents fled russia when she was twelve years old they originally tried to claim asylum in finland who were jack to they then went to norway to try and claim asylum they were also rejected but we know that they stayed on illegally and despite having no papers in a bank account the reality managed a very high level of integration she very quickly learned the language she got

herself a degree she wrote a book last year highlighting the plight of illegal immigrants in the country and that game to the title for the norwegian magazine of norwegian of the year but despite all this we've seen the justice ministry standing strong is saying that she has to leave the country so i think she i made a bit of a name for herself but she suddenly became quite popular among the way germans are to me how are people reacted to the government's decision at this point. this case is really sparked nationwide debate both public outrage at her case in particular but also really calling into question norway's immigration laws there are many people for the saying this needs to be looked at and they possibly there needs to be changes that amaze now we've heard the norwegian government saying that they've actually responded in the last couple of years the public criticism that their immigration laws are too lenient we saw in two thousand and ten that they'd actually increase that the potations of foreigners by thirty eight percent that in the reality of cases being. to another. the former

for the start treaty to pass its final hearing in the lower house on tuesday. now the agreement was signed by president obama last year and will slash the country's nuclear arsenals by a third it has already been approved by the u.s. senate which included its own interpretations of the text in response to russian and legislatures stressed that moscow could withdraw from the deal in the future if it felt threatened by u.s. missile defense plans in europe lawmaker. says that when the pact takes effect other states could follow suit. we very much hope that the arms race is now becoming history and at some point we might be able to talk about a disarmament race we are going to ratify the treaty in order to follow the pact and it's our hope that our american partners ratified the agreement with the same goal we also hope that the start treaty between moscow and washington will lead to other countries joining the talks over reducing strategic nuclear weapons this treaty is not a full stop in resetting ties between russia and the us or in our dialogue about

strategic arms and anti missile defense we should reach further agreements because if we fail to do so the whole world will be balancing on a very dangerous ledge. well still ahead for you this hour here on r.t. report. an israeli says the boarding of a gas about an age ship last may. tell you what critics have to say about those findings plus. foreign funded it news outlets expand media options but is it part of a plan to influence from an unfriendly neighbor more on that in just a few minutes right here on r.t. . the man accused of shooting u.s. congresswoman gabrielle giffords in the head will be in court for a preliminary hearing on monday. went on a shooting spree at a public event on the eighth of january in arizona six people were killed and thirteen others were wounded in this high profile case is just one of

a string of violent incidents involving guns in the u.s. on sunday two people were killed and two police. when injured after a man began shooting at them outside a department store in the state of washington well that same day a gunman went into a police station in detroit and shot four officers before being gunned down the violence has many americans calling for tougher gun control laws it is also used lower on the list of reports some see the weapon as part of a culture and say that taking it away goes against the history. you have to have as high as you can get ready. for the age of five for the right to bear arms the target of debate in the united states stand your state so. just because you have an individual right does not mean that the state or local government can't constrain think you can carry a gun in chicago. and in my world everybody on the bus could have

a gun like making liberal shoot guns i just don't think we should be allowed to bring them home. to travel more than six hundred miles south. follow the same well worn tracks taken here during the civil war and you're transported to can assad georgia. a world of the. order where second amendment rights are exercising all the time everybody except for one except when ever you are going to be a it's a way of life in the south a gun is just part of the household just like a hammer is in the tool box and in the town of kennesaw. it's the law may first one thousand nine hundred two they passed that law requiring all heads of household to own a gun. you heard them right everyone here must own a gun and it was a rebuttal to mo wrong grove illinois i call it more ago we call it moron who passed a law banning firearms and i think with the law itself that got people in kennesaw

ticked off it was performing coverage it received in what today we would call them ancient. impress the battle with the mainstream doesn't end there issues in which the point kennesaw or through a lot of the south would have the i exactly opposite viewpoint appear to reach much further back than the gun law my name is dennis myers the name my storage wildman show up here past meets present. the taboo original claim uniform there except for the topic of correct is not ok people are offended when they feel i don't know whenever i ask them why would you be offended if you're playing pranks. and. the confederate flag has a home not far from the american one and is praised it means that we had four years of destruction in this area here when we were trying to repel the invaders it's a historical thing and i have very much respect and love for to and i think the

racism of. this civil war it will have some. and going from the air from war between the states wasn't civil no civil war a civil war it was a war with one country we had to come to confront it stays american united states from there and it's not over either or anything a teenager before but. where you deal you know modern work and. there's a lot of people here i think the civil war is still a current topic not a historical topic in kenya saw the u.s. civil war is never far away and back there are three has storage battlefields like this one within a ten mile radius of the town thanks and in their modern day battle for gun owners' rights it also seems to be connected to this southern history lauren mr r t kennesaw georgia. is now at ten minutes past the hour here in moscow you with r.t. now turkey has condemned the findings of an israeli inquiry which found that last

may's raid of a gaza bound aid flotilla was legal nine activists were killed during the incident the panel responsible for the findings was made up of four israelis and two foreign observers who support asli has details from tel aviv. this radio reporter says of the soldiers acted in self defense it examined one hundred and thirty three cases and found that in one hundred twenty seven the soldiers were equally justified in the way they acted it says in the six other cases it simply does not have sufficient information now the primary point that these waited till commission is relying on is that the way the soldiers the commanding unit acted did not break international law because it was quite clear they stage that the gods of donald fertility were intended to break the israeli blockade on gaza now these were the defense minister ehud barak has praised the findings of this report he says it proves that israel is a law abiding country but many activists and one of them being an israeli member of

parliament who belongs to an arab party had one thousand names wabi she was part of their fertility she has come out in heavy criticism saying that it ignores the killings of nine activists eight of them were turkish citizens and one was a turkish american citizen we also know though that the first term though the incident of course which happened on the thirty first of may has already received international condemnation no commission of inquiry in the world can justify deliberately restricting the passage of people and goods in order to paralyze the economy and prevent normal life from taking place in gaza and i'm sorry to say that's exactly what the israeli policy did we think that the lesson from the photo incident should be that israel has a right to prevent weapons from entering gaza but it doesn't have a right to do what it still doing which is to prevent purely civilian goods from coming in and out in order to punish the population and the commission made a disturbing finding when it said that those civilian restrictions could be illegal under international law that's what we disagree with lee turkish national inquiry

submissive to its findings to united nations back in september last year and of course now it is up to the u.n. secretary general to examine both the israeli and the turkish reports and release its own conclusions we have no indication as of yet when that will be but the turkish commission did come out publicly for the first time this today. when the israelis the report was issued saying and i'm quoting from a statement that it was surprised it was appalled and it was dismayed it said that the stand should be the focal commission exonerated israeli defense forces the turkish prime minister has also said that this report has no credibility and no value to the criticism is also being leveled by political activists they say that the cynics and of the two missing and also the limited authority it had this was not a public commission of inquiry from the outside it set up a committee that could only reach conclusions at least six of the conclusions that they wanted to reach in the first place. ati's policy reporting that now you can always get the latest on all of our stories how web site that's called com let's

put it now what's waiting for you online at this moment and recent example so around the world have given rise to several online conspiracy theories but one american alien expert is going to step further by claiming that the u.s. government is to blame. and has officially handed over responsibility to russia to host the two thousand and eighteen world cup russia promised to stage a twenty month like no other at the signing ceremony in petersburg find out all the details on our website our team dot com. religious education could soon become a compulsory subject in russian schools currently being tested on a trial basis the move could see students study one of four major religions but some critics say that instead of teaching the values of different faiths the experiment could breed intolerance. on a boycott reports. it looks like any other class with quizzes home or

being sat on an extensive syllabus yet it is the only one in this chechen school where pupils on the ward graded they're studying the basics of islam the predominant religion here wishing you islam teaches respect kindness peace and tolerance. peace and tolerance were on the top of that agenda when russia's minister of education began testing religious subjects as part of the secondary curriculum last year experiment allows students to study one of the major religions or concentrate on secular ethics yet while trying to provide room for all it's also putting pupils of different religious backgrounds in different classrooms. first i think it was wrong to do white students so that some focus on christianity or the study is large we all live in one country and we all have to know some basics about each other's feeds that divides in children this is not a good idea at all. the organizers of the experiment said just that schools should

be able to provide classes on any religion no matter how small the group being taught the shortage of financing often lands that only one or two classes are offered. here in the town of cost and central russia the children are well read about orthodox christianity but few are able to name all the religions practiced in russia. and in mind other faiths but i like orthodox christianity because it's a religion of a home and. not about three hundred thousand students just two percent of the total school population are taking part in the project and while most of the schools involved would prefer to keep spiritual subjects on the timetable experts say the initiative needs a thorough revision before it's rolled out further. this is clear discrimination. kids who are not religious so what are they going to do. they're going to be

separated from the class or what and it's also a tremendous pressure to accept one or another for religion not because the balloon of this religion but all of because they have to because everybody has to belong to some religious community which is again. democratic. the line between teaching religion and not indoctrination is fine and a subject which for many families should stay at home we all know that they wrote so how is space with good intentions and while the educational experiment hasn't yet been declared either success or failure some fear that instead of promoting religious tolerance and cultural understanding it may actually false athlete bias and social segregation at some point artsy. now let's get to some international news in brief this hour at least eight people are confirmed that more than two

dozen injured after two car bomb explosions on the outskirts of the iraqi city of karbala but they say the blasts were targeting she almost on a pilgrimage to. the attacks come on the back of three suicide bombings in the same area last week which left more than fifty dead. palestinian leaders have denied allegations they offered a territorial concessions to israel during middle east peace talks the claims were made in thousands of leaked documents uncovered by al jazeera it's alleged israel rejected a controversial proposal allowing it to keep parts of occupied east jerusalem had promised negotiators dismissed the claims as a pack of lies. from police in tunisia using tear gas to disperse stone throwing protesters gathered outside the prime minister's office and a fresh wave of unrest demonstrators are demanding all the former. leader's allies a step down from office and follows a month long uprising that ousted president ben ali also led to seventy eight

people losing their lives sunday detained two high profile figures allegedly loyal to the old regime. island's a political party it's not a whole after the green party leader quit the governing coalition parties will try to speed up the passage of key financial legislation aiming to bring forward elections to february a month earlier than planned it comes after weeks of political. on saturday prime minister brian cowen stepped down as leader of his party pressure caused by the country's economic crisis but remains prime minister. of the independence of moldova is being tested by the growing influence of the romanian press in the former soviet state some critics accuse new media outlets of pushing a book arrests political agenda with remaining in that language newspapers while others have welcomed a more diverse media. reports. the one press seems

to have undergone something of a make over in the past year with new t.v. programs airing different opinions so is the media becoming stronger and freer and this country after years of domination by only a few outlets it may seem so on the surface but some like internet journalist italy and dear ski say the idea of a new dawn is only an illusion. inducing my website gained popularity some people from romania can check on me and also financial help in exchange for my website as he pulled the idea of reunification which we know gave up and romania or something three quarters. before nine hundred forty five moldova belong to romania off to the war it became part of the soviet union before independence on the collapse of the u.s.s.r. since then however some politicians in bucharest have been wanting it back and the esky says now they can use the media as

a platform as most of the new press is sponsored by bucharest one of the most recent additions to my job was media market is the quality paper i divert all the truth which is also one of the leading national data is in romania. the very first edition of this romanian newspaper had some really sharp articles it speculated whether moldova was a toy between brussels and moscow and it also questioned the first decision to grant russia the right to host the twenty eighteen for ball world cup. it is the first full color paper in moldova and it is published in the romanian language rather than moldova and its deputy editor in chief says this is not an obstacle to popularity here but what we can all do on this winning go to seventy five is cynicism only remaining and this is a bit like that proven by the. balanced approach towards something. opposition politicians believe such strong media. and from my book arrest could

threaten mood over sovereignty the campaign that is. being run by the local press that is as i told you supported with the media. is constructed that way to make the integration possible chemical a think it through the so-called european integration those promoting women is a show of moldova have not been shy of using rather underhand methods according to one political expert in the middle. of an table of prices which broadcasts russian stations in remaining programmes into the russian channels a time for war programmes which propagandize greek arrests wish to see about moldova they use russian stations to live ideas moscow would never agree with the opinion polls suggest that number of moldovans wanting to reunite with romania has tripled over the last twelve months from just five to fifteen percent whether

that's down to the media is difficult to say for sure but those who promote reunification certainly see this sector as a key target to increase their influence to bump into them let's see russia out see revulsion from kish in our logo what. time now for the business news with dmitri. thanks oreo welcome to business bank of moscow shares are racing away after russia's alpha bank announced it was interested in making a takeover bid the lender which was founded by a disgraced former moscow mayor louche coffee has gained over twenty percent alpha bank says bank of moscow should be put up for a public auction and not be handed over to the country's second biggest lender be it a private transaction bank of moscow was valued at around ten billion dollars. playing with a sector of russia's biggest banks burbank may announce a deal to buy the country's biggest investment house choice could dial up next
