8:06 am
back the police actually of the central square itself there's a lot of the protesters who throwing things wearing gas masks and we spoke to some of the main organizers from the t.v. and to organize a protest today they said that they wanted it to be peaceful until the end of june and so any of these measures will cause see the police the letting of take us into the crowd that incredibly hard to breathe only strays not into pleasant for anyone there's lots of people getting medical treatment around the place. but the violence is really erupting and we're not entirely sure if these people wearing the gas masks that are 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 started to try and push them by. british hero m.p. nigel for off says the high 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
8:07 am

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 advanced radar in the country was changed for it to host a less important facility 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 feel that this will actually undermine the security of book the czech republic and europe as a car going in and. so we think that it's completely contradictory to play such and
8:09 am
such a system here in europe this system without incorporating russia with talking to also other world super powers like china like india or the following or the pirates that will be the biggest world economies in the in the following few years is really going to make a lot of tension on the global scale and so it we should be wise and just start thinking about building a 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 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 attracted some of the world's business and political heavyweights parties and he said now i sums up the showcase highlights modernization based on stifling corruption decentralizing power and
8:10 am
government reforms all goals voiced by president made at this year's international economic forum here in st petersburg where how russia is going to attempt to become one of the world's biggest and most active economies 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 harms 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 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 the business executives the top innovators and world leaders will president medvedev run for reelection well it was the official last question of the form and this is what medvedev to say. 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
8:12 am
thing you can be sure of is that i will be able to avoid making that statement that you will not have to wait much longer. every story requires some kind of intrigue otherwise they'll be no interest in living. so let's keep the intrigue a bit longer. and certainly no intrigue surrounding what platform advantage would run on if he does announce he's running for reelection it will be all about modernization reporting from st petersburg a nice in the way r.t. . well the a far east thing to russia's north as china's leader joined the gathering in st petersburg calling for calm of efforts to get the global economy back on track to describe the recovery. 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 by twenty fifteen dr abolishing issues 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 a deal out of italy because of the fundamental factors are there this economy is highly complimentary to each other so if if a deal is signed it will be a win win situation russia need to be more diversified in terms of market. wants to also was about worth the fight it's the supply of energy sources for instance it used to depend heavily on the middle east so we all know the reason disturbance there so so tiny is hunger for a new energy source and suddenly. 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 call the prosecutor's evidence thin boots lawyers claim the united states doesn't have jurisdiction to prosecute him and want the charges dismissed artie's is in new york explains. he is the russian citizen america fought relentlessly to adopt victor boot was secretly and swiftly extradited to the u.s. seven months ago and this may be where he stays indefinitely if found guilty on arms smuggling and terrorism related charges fifty years could be. 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

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 and bilateral laws to get him. it's clear to everyone that the case has long been moved from the sphere of laws to 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. the country accusing victor boot of arms dealing now finds itself accused of political arm twisting come october an american jury will decide future to a political pressure at surfside by the u.s. army evidently arena point nine artsy new york. for more background and analysis head toward dot com where we outlined the dates and timeline of the victor boot

8:21 am

8:22 am
committed in the state of emotional distress which builds over time. even as parents notice that many would rather ignore them than to take their kid to a psychologist or psychiatrist which added to that continuing social and economic shift making it harder for parents to provide for their children and leaving little time for talking and listening this morning meant is that they cater to children who have fallen victim to adult biases alcoholism drug abuse prostitution and i want to those can drive a child to take his or her own life but in the center of this overall figure sounds one that seems wallace frightening almost commonplace it represents what experts say is the main reason why russia is leaving europe and the number of teen suicides about ice and difference seeing no evil hearing now cries out of work or arts.

8:25 am
human regimentation. over most of the nations that they are and the shadow is an approaching a little different. to the 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 a more than two hundred fifty thousand u.s. troops stationed on these bases all around the. we don't have power bases in 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 our bases a fly of the noises i would ne of those bother us at all because they're all bases but for other people it's almost like a cancer here for these people since the into world war two the spaces i've been.
