a district court but the district court said in the individual congressmen did not have any sort of standing the reality is i think still a majority of congressmen are still are you know going to support the the actions in libya and afghanistan and so on congress is not going to. come and say we shouldn't be doing this and try to defund it and besides obama is currently using discretionary department defense discretionary funds to get around it anyway so you know it's a question of how effective it would be it works in you know to their benefit we do live in a military industrial complex type of world where they have they have the purse strings they have the power. oh there's still a lot ahead for you this hour including of the on the ground war from the gulf reports of a secret american drone base near yemen emerge along with outrage alleged civilian deaths in the latest tyrants. russia and china agree on pumping gas as though the price proves to be a problem but neither of these be

look at the situation kerry say they're trying to fight back and the police are trying. their managing by the looks of things to push back the police actually of the such a scary itself with a lot of the protesters who are throwing things wearing gas masks and we spoke to some of the main organizers trinity unions who organized protests today and they said that they wanted it to be peaceful until the end of jena so any of these measures will cause see the police the letting of take us into the crowd that incredibly hard to grieve the only space not to pleasant for anyone there's lots of people getting medical treatment around the place. but the violence is really around saying we're not entirely sure if these people when we got busted or provoking the police are actually part of the main price that as we said the people we spoke to said they wanted it to be peaceful and it has been up until now up until earlier today when that provocation happened when the police stopped it's trying to push them by that. british hero and be natural for off says the party

officials need greece and other struggling countries to stay in the euro zone to prove the project works. i have been trying with president calderon poyet with president barroso with all the people that lead the what is plan b. isn't it time we had missing the greece portugal are not suited to the euro zone isn't it better that we put that they come out they get their own currencies back they have a devaluation and then of course some of the banks have to take a hit because they won't hear of it here because as far as they're concerned in brussels the euro the economic and monetary union is a political project they see it as a stepping stone to united states of europe i've been all prepared to admit they've got it horribly wrong and for that frankly they couldn't care less if tens of millions of people across europe lose their jobs that doesn't matter to the european commission provided they can maintain the euro and keep propping up the

banks and later this hour in our interview section a german m.p. klaus peter will shares his views on a bailing out greece and why he thinks e.u. countries should look after themselves. the czech republic this week announced it's backing out of the u.s. missile defense program planned for europe because it was frustrated by the diminished role it was offered the original plan to place an advance radar in the country was changed for it to host a less important syllabi the missile shield supposed to counter potential threats from so-called rogue states like iran and north korea but the plan has been a facing massive opposition from russia which is concerned that its safety might compromise or there have also been protests in the czech republic itself and one of the outspoken critics of the project is activist young tom daschle says such a system would only fuel global tension. people don't want such

a thing here in this country we actually undermine the security of the czech republic and europe as a continent and. so we think it's completely contradictory. social system here in europe and this system without incorporating russia with talking to also other world superpowers china. india or the following are the pirates that will be the biggest world economies in the in the following years is really going to make a lot of tension on the global scale and so we should be wise and just start thinking about building the security mechanisms and structures that will include all the big super powers not just. their way modernized economy cured of corruption is one of the top priorities in president medvedev has to deal this in which he outlined russia's direction in st petersburg this week the international economic forum was staged to breathe new life into the country's investment climate and have

attracted some of the world's business and political heavyweights parties and these are now a sums up the showcase highlights modernization based on stifling corruption decentralizing power and government reforms all goals voiced by president mediated of this year's international economic forum here is think petersburg where how russia is going to attempt to become one of the world's biggest and most active of colonies was laid out. we shouldn't hesitate to say goodbye to many bad habits we should focus on the following improving the investment climate in russia to create new jobs in the regions the creation of a modern police service and other security forces improving the effectiveness of the justice system and finally the modernization of government of course the main bad habit as the president calls it is corruption which he says is choking russia's economy this was his message to the country's officials that don't do business according to the law. the noose around the neck of those who practice corruption

should be tightened on the whole of russia or agrees with this without any exception if the government should be purged of corruption in a more decisive way and for that purpose we should in harm's way those suspected of corruption are dismissed from public service another issue that's hampering russia's economic development is it not being a member of the world trade organization lately we're hearing from a lot of officials that exception to the w t o for russia is possible by the end of this year the president agrees but says only under very specific circumstances. we have long been ready to join the w t o more than many other countries small or large and still we are asked to make an unseemly large number of concessions if this kind of approach is unacceptable russia will not agree to any evidently unfavorable solutions and of course presumably the one question on all of the minds of business executives top innovators and world leaders will president medvedev run

for reelection well it was their first so last question of the form and this is what motivated me to say yes sure when i consider it appropriate to tell you whether i will do it or not i will come out and say it this forum is not the best place for that one thing you can be sure of is that i won't be able to avoid making a statement that it will not have to wait much longer. every story requires some kind of intrigue otherwise they'll be no interest in living though it do you so let's keep the intrigue a bit longer. and certainly no intrigue surrounding what platform advantage what is wrong if it does announce he's running for reelection it will be all about modernization reporting from st petersburg and use them our way r.t. . all the year far east came to russia's north as trying as leader joined the gathering in st petersburg calling for a common efforts to get the global economy back on track hu jintao the squad leader covered. slow and fragile and said more reform is needed it followed his trip to

moscow where talks failed to decide on a price to ship russian gas directly into china last year moscow and beijing agreed to start supplies of siberia natural gas to energy hungry china through a new pipeline which should be built twenty fifteen doctor involved in the shooting as an expert in russia china relations is optimistic but says a deal worth a trillion dollars takes time. negotiation will be tough there will be a lot of terms that need to be determined negotiated it takes time but i'm basically optimistic about finding and below ultimately because of the fundamental factors are there this two economists are highly complimentary to each other so. if a deal it's signed it will be a win win situation russia need to be more diversified in terms of market. a loss to all of the loss of diversifying its supply of energy sources for instance it

used to depend heavily on the middle east so we all know the recent disturbance there so so tiny is hunger for a new energy source and suddenly this is the way the rich and china can buy a large. amount of gas from russia they have to again to stable and long term reliable and the resources. a u.s. judge says the case against an alleged russian gun runner victor boot is unconvincing and called the prosecutor's evidence then lawyers claim the united states doesn't have jurisdiction to prosecute him and want the charges dismissed archy's is in new york explains. he is the russian citizen america thought relentlessly to adopt picture but was secretly and swiftly actually voted to give us seven months ago and this may be where he stays indefinitely if found guilty on arms smuggling and terrorism related charges fifty years convict. he's

looking at life there's no parole there's no early release in the federal system really the only why in the federal system to get a reduction in your sentence. a significant reduction is if you cooperate with the united states government some have argued mr needs to be on captain america's team however captain america is being accused of playing dirty and illegally to remove the air fargo businessman from thailand according to documents released by wiki leaks all levels of washington's top to bottom amounted to little pressure against bangkok to gain custody of boot in a us cable dated august thirteenth two thousand and nine u.s. president barack obama was urged to call thailand's prime minister directly about boot the u.s. attorney general and state department were encouraged to call the thai ambassador highlighting a massive drug enforcement administration commitment to thailand and the us

ambassador in bangkok urged the thai government to issue a public statement of disappointment at the judge's ruling not to extradite boot the way things stand right now they're willing to flaunt every international law to get what they want and that means doing all these illegal things in the case of the . kidnapping who was arrested in bangkok in march two thousand and eight during a u.s. sting operation he was charged with conspiring to sell weapons to colombian fark rebels i'm sure kitchens that type court rejected america's extradition request when an entourage of armed u.s. agents removed him from thailand following a decision of the thai government his extradition was still not legally approved the covert operation was kept secret from russia but it's family and his attorney roy so the case was not finalized and was moved to the u.s. and europe to use various means political another's outside of boundaries of due

legal process to get. what that means that is not getting a fair deal to this day high officials have not provided official documents explaining the legal grounds behind boots extradition. meantime victor boot remains in the u.s. prison held in solitary confinement his wife doubts her husband will receive a fair trial from the country she says violated international law and bilateral laws to get. them it's clear to everyone that the case has long been moved from the sphere of launch of politics i think or rather i would love to think that the american court is unbiased but i'm strong doubts about it because i think such a pressure could be put on anyone including the jury. in. the country accusing victor boot of arms dealing now finds itself accused of political harm or stay calm october an american jury will decide the picture of the future to

a political pressure at surfside by the u.s. army evidently the arena fortnight artsy new york. for more background and analysis head toward t. dot com where we outlined the dates and timeline of the victor boot case and there you can watch how the story unfolded. iran has promised to be constructive and transparent with the u.n. nuclear watchdog it came as the united nations concerted new sanctions on tehran atomic plants to mounting prove their program was peaceful well we spoke to iran's envoy to the i.a.e.a. who said his country no longer had anything to prove. many allegations was raised by united states and i proved after an investigation taking samples and early to go

process that all these allegations are baseless in fact before coming to vienna i was in charge of escorting all these specters and i was with them in this military size that it was would prove that this allegation had no basis is a very unfortunate after eight years they are repeating these boring stories one thing is clear that we do not have any program for nuclear weapons and we are fully cooperating with as they said the unprecedented the most robust inspection in the history of why or five thousand mandy's have found no evidence of diversion of nuclear material prohibited purposes and the statement claimed by lady ashton with due respect i categorically reject. and now with one of the highest teen suicide rates in the world russia has been jolted into action to reverse the worrying trend but experts say it's not that simple because there are several causes that can lead

to tragedy if unnoticed and authorities acts on a boy to reports compassion is a cure but it's a remedy that's all too hard to come by. these people final exams if you did care was reporting and students gearing up for the belt laws that lay had of them the teachers pointed to bullying at their brightest student who it seemed that her future figured out which way should play station i want to become a journalist because it's very interesting and creative profession which could open doors to the world for me like this yet but instead of a school live in celebration pulling his classmates gathered for hip uniroyal sensing she may not be the best she and everything and hank herself. have been getting ready for the example we can't believe i was the one who actually the hardest of all of her note of math problems and she was very modest she wanted to graduate isn't a great student. in many countries this trask's exams in late december and early

june sees peaks in the number of children taking their own lives but in russia it's a year round problem roughly one and a half thousand children and teenagers kill themselves every year that's much higher than the average scene in the united states and britain. problem is so out of hand that when i was there filming the president's advantage he found it hard to believe it is a truly frightening every year thousands children make attempts on their lives. up to four times more likely to act town suicide it is still boys who by a long way actually succeed in killing themselves eager is different he's trying to take his life three times the latest that time just six months ago. i just had enough i was tired of fighting with my mom my girlfriend left me i was fed up with studying i couldn't stand seeing the streets and hearing all this noise i just wanted and i want peace what's driving the problem in russia is what experts call

a low emotional literacy psychological or so. catterick health is underdeveloped and not easily available. there is the sigma given. to return to dual committed in the state of emotional distress which builds over time. even if parents notice that many would rather ignore the kid to the psychologist or psychiatrist which version added to that continuing social and economic shift we can you target for parents to provide for their children leaving little time for talking and listening this morning mentors that we cater to children who are all in victim to adult biases alcoholism drug abuse prostitution and i want to drive a child to take his or her own life but in the center of this overly figures sounds one that since paul is frightening almost commonplace yet it represents what

x.-press say is the main reason why russia is leaving europe and the number of teen suicides i doubt it is indifference seeing no ego hearing now cries. see. the u.s. is stepping up its some drone attacks on yemen claiming to target al-qaeda militants there have been reports of a secret cia base being built in the persian gulf with the sole purpose of taking down and the american terrorists if they manage to win through an yemen's power struggle well it's thought that over a hundred people have been killed in the past two weeks and witnesses on the ground say they included a lot more civilians than is being admitted in the u.k. attack helicopters and commandos squads are being prepared for a possible deployment in the country british m.p. jeremy corbyn believes the west is doing the direct opposite of what you have needs for stability. if the west goes in with our starts bombing on behalf of

unclear who then i think will make the situation markedly worse that yemen has huge poverty and social issues it's the poorest country in the region it's a median age population is less than eighty i mean it's the greatest social descriptions of any country in the whole region the last thing it needs is more bombing what it needs is police needs people coming together and it needs overseas aid to help any government hope a little unity. to bring together all of the factions and all the interest across the euro i cannot believe that. you could bring this about and in their haste to be involved the us looked to me like you're in the interim making all the mistakes they made an afghanistan in nineteen seventy you know i mean they rushed in as part of the cold war anyone but offering to fight on their behalf and thus was born. all over the last century the u.s. has established hundreds of military bases around the world and we bring you

a special report at our next hour on this expanding web of the risks to the countries hosting them. to a substantial degree and one form or another socialism has spread the shadow of human regimentation over most of the nations of europe and the shadow as i'm quoting them to. leave early twenty first century military bases the network of military bases all around the world forms the empire that the united states is trying to build it's astonishing most americans have no idea there are more than a quarter of a million more than two hundred fifty thousand u.s. troops stationed on these bases all around. we don't have a problem bases of america we don't have any british base we don't have any korean base we don't have any french bases or you know we just all american bases in cross

our bases are flocking here are the noises our norwegian those bother to us at all because they're all bases but for other people it's almost like a cancer here for the speed of the day since the into world war two the spaces i've been. working here to provide a safe and secure environment for everybody. the questions the appeals to get everything you needed. well our kate will be here in just over fifteen minutes with a sports as a twenty two year old golfer warren mcelvoy likes to claim his first major title at the u.s. open will have all the build up to stay with us on our team. today
