10:08 am
police are trying. they're managing by the looks of things that despite the police actually of the such a scary itself there's a lot of the protester to throwing things so i guess the students we spoke to some of the nato guys from the tea unions to organize protests today they said that they wanted it to be peaceful it'll be entertaining so any of these measures will cause see the police killing of take us into the crowd that incredibly hard to breathe only strays not to pleasant for anyone there's lots of people getting medical treatment around the place. but the violence is really rough saying we're not entirely sure if these people when the gas masks that are provoking the place are actually part of the main crisis as he said the people we spoke to said they wanted it to be peaceful and it has been up and sold out and certainly it's day when the provocation happened when the play started childish the bat. british air m.p. nigel farage says the e.u.'s high officials need greece and other struggling countries to stay in the eurozone to prove that project works i have been trying

countries should look after themselves. now 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 post a less important facility a missile shield supposed to counter a potential threats from so-called rogue states like iran and north korea but the plant has been facing massive opposition from russia which is concerned that its safety might be a compromise or there have also been protests in the czech republic itself and one of the outspoken critics of the project is activists young tom russia says such a system would only fuel global tension. check people don't want such a thing here in this country who actually undermine the security of both the czech republic and europe as a continent and so we completely contradictory to place such
10:11 am
a system here in europe this system without incorporating russia without talking to also other world superpowers where china like india or the following are if there 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 it we should be wise and just start thinking about building security mechanisms and structures that will include all the big superpowers not just. a modernized economy cured of corruption as one of the top priorities and president of the others to do all 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 artes and he said now it sums up the showcase highlights. modernization based on stifling corruption d.

thanks realizing power and government reforms all goals voiced by president mediated at 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 effective a colonies was laid out steve 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 police service and over 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 with the neck of those who practice corruption should be tightened and the whole of russia agrees with this without any exception if the government should be purged of corruption in
10:13 am
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 process economic development is it not being a member of the world trade organization lately we're hearing from a lot of officials that expression 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 big business executives innovators and world leaders will president medvedev run for reelection well it was there a question of the form and this is what made it the say yes sure when i consider
10:14 am
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 will be able to avoid making a 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 you know it to you so let's keep the intrigue a bit longer. and certainly no intrigue surrounding what platform it would run on if he does announce he's running for reelection it will be all about modernization reporting from say petersburg and these are now way our city. well the far east came to russia's north this week as china's leader joined the gathering in st petersburg calling for common efforts to get the global economy back on track hu jintao described the recovery as slow and fragile and said it more reform is needed it followed his trip to moscow where talks fail to decide on a price to ship russian gas directly into china however the country's leaders

10:16 am
looking at the asian market because that's where the growth is. now a u.s. judge says the case against an alleged russian gun runner boot is unconvincing and call the prosecutor's evidence then claim the united states does not have jurisdiction to prosecute him and they want the charges dismissed. in new york explains. he is the russian citizen america thought relentlessly to adopt a picture but it was secretly and swiftly actually dated to the u.s. seven months ago and this may be where he stays in definitely 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 way in the federal system to get a reduction in your sentence. a significant reduction is if you cooperate with the

10:19 am
a fair trial from the country she says violated international and bilateral laws to get him and. it's clear to everyone that the case has long been moved from the sphere of launch 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. in. the country accusing victor boot of arms dealing now finds itself accused of political arm twisting come october an american jury will decide the picture of the future wanted a political pressure sized by the us remains evidently the arena for nine artsy. before more background and of the alice's had to r.t. dot com where we outline the data and timeline of the victor boot case and there you can watch how the story unfolded.
