stallman is always bold student muscles for exist and if the contestants had a little trouble with the point they could still make up for it in the top business . law. house and beautiful places for relaxing stroll. just over half a century ago this area was nothing but grass and maybe the old potato allotments until this man came along here one percent turned it into almost forty characters a beautiful teleco gardens right in the center of president and i'm off to meet an old friend of his. son who has been a professor at the local university for more than forty years and is literally see in the gardens grow from nothing to what they are today seen as though it's done in a regular way all these paths are like the english style. and they're all of

different heights as you can see and you can find every conceivable form of plants life. in fact there are more than seventy different rare breeds in the gardens and susana was happy to show me some of her favorites. with you can you feel it's. that's right it still smells like. they're around twenty full time staff here but they can always do with one hand and that meant cycle to put my own tiny sapling in the ground. this this little maple tree is one of more than forty thousand trees a little by hand and hopefully in a few decades to come it will still be here giving say to the president of locals.

like me. unfortunately my time in the city was coming to an end but there was one group of local hero just a really wants to meet. the people here love the river which runs right through president can also be a dangerous place there up to a point accidents a day on the water during the summer season but that's what president of the river rescue service is here for. oh i was here to see what sort of challenges they face . once i changed since my official rescue ranger gear we were ready to head on to the river. now this is a typical day we're on patrol but you only want to do is go down the coogan river all the way to places where bathing is allowed and most importantly where it's not allowed to. shoot the problem is that there is

a very strong current in the kugan river and something can be very dangerous. some people try to do it when they're under the influence of alcohol. like lose teenagers over there for instance but as the pope drove past they seem to change their minds pretty quickly. so you guys are they're just hard to put they plays well. victor and his colleagues normally patrol a forty kilometer stretch but today the public role playing the use of the river. of course it never hurts to issue a gentle reminder to everyone having a nice time don't go. don't go. see a nobody is going swimming see how impressed they are with all authority. mind you there were one or two people who did look like they were getting ready to hold themselves to. future victims.

so far a little been very quiet us but things were about to get interesting. well everyone's been doing very well behaved out on the big day but to go as he still needs train which means they need a victim. last moment. it's a little difficult to do a good impression of a drowning man in a highly buoyant sooks but i did try my best and that river was no. no no. it's. not. but fortunately i was at

least washing around for a minute or two before i was free to safety. another soul saved by the close nidal river. rescue service. especially recommend the dry sea. for most people. i was happy to be out of the ocean but i was genuinely sad to be leaving fasten a dog outside of moscow and st petersburg it's the most modern and well maintained city are seen in russia i'm one i think it's a genuine living. looking for beautiful books some tough call spacing action just genuine call such culture and hospitality as little sybil.

culture is that so much of the spiritual economy because it's a real. emerging countries in an ever changing world but what does it mean when a country is finally emerged.

in the i'm. putting a stop to stop and search the british government faces pressure to curb the powers of police terror suspects and locked up and kept in limbo for years without charge . since and voices america's concern over certain sectarian violence in post-revolutionary arab states with experts saying washington's previously unconditional support for the uprisings and starting to backfire. plus hopes of asia coming to the euro's rescue phase as china rejects the role of savior saying the e.u. must take responsibility for tackling its own debt problems. international

news and comment live from a headquarters here in central moscow this is r.t. the british parliament is discussing whether to reverse the law which allows police to stop and search terrorist suspects without reasonable suspicion a committee of m.p.'s argues that the powers go too far and are a breach of civil liberties but as all of these other bennett now reports u.k. has other legal loopholes which have left some suspects knocked out for years without charge. timely it's incomplete. and look at hand. the anguish of a family torn apart. by. the us. who are. the souls who are some. who are son

son is one of britain's forgotten terrorist suspects held in custody for five years without charge trapped in a twisted bits of its justice system we go through can be very weak and cannot plan properly. read a president who. was arrested in two thousand and six on alleged terrorism offenses he hasn't been tried here because it's not the u.k. that wants him but the u.s. it accuses of supporting the taliban and being involved with websites it calls extremist one of the websites servers happen to be in america and that's why it's after him people like. if they committed anything they committed in this country and they should grow to justice here and child if you've been released and let them

get on with your life five years in prison i mean this is story shit britain won't release him because of a treaty signed in two thousand and three in the post nine eleven crackdown it means the u.s. can extradite terrorist suspects without a hearing or even showing any evidence has families relentless fight for justice is the only thing stopping them quote says nor would be. syr you can. only the people who provoke us with something. nor none of the government protested. this is where tell how was arrested at his father's shop just over five years ago since then the family have seen their son once a week but fear they won't see him at all it is extradited to the states in prison here to our writes poetry and teaches english if extradited and convicted it will

be a supermax jail solitary confinement and life without parole extreme measures to those who know the man born and educated in london i'm very surprised that the british courts have not treated him on sale at least in all these years because it's completely clear that he is not any kind of threat to anybody there are thought more like including bubba our maid britain's longest attain without charge prisoner gary mckinnon is another fighting extradition since hacking into the pentagon seven years ago both pm town has suffered from asperger's syndrome which helped keep the area out of prison unlike the muslim suspects karen mckinnon is say near white middle class english boy and barbara and. are very highly educated. british river class boy is and they're both

asians and they're muslims and what that tells you is sort of something rather awful about our society despite opposing the treaty in opposition the government's done little to overturn it only an independent review jus out in sic temba town has families gone to the european court of human rights in a last ditch bid to get him tried here it's taken five years to get this far patel has fathers not giving up hope yet either bennett r.t. london and that is our bennett is continuing to follow that story in london for us and you can keep track of it yourself on twitter where you can check out his tweets on our feet and in his latest message he points out that the u.k. government promised an independent review of extradition in its election manifesto almost a year ago but now it seems to be all but forgotten you can follow us at r.t. on this call kong for the latest updates on this as you can see plenty of other

stories. the u.s. is voicing concerns about the threat of sectarian violence in the middle east and north africa following the uprisings it so enthusiastically backed in her annual report on religious freedom secretary of state hillary clinton urged arab nations not to trade one form of repression for another volley of reports now from washington. what we're seeing is a rather surprising shift in the rhetoric out of this white house when it comes to the so-called arab spring and i remember in the early weeks of the uprising in egypt a lot of caution from from the united states in terms of the uprisings there which has really shifted and developed into a sort of full throated enthusiastic support for democracy and regime change abroad in certain countries now i want to play you hillary clinton in her own words not that long ago calling for democracy in those two countries khadafi must go and the

libyan people deserve to determine their own future the transition to democracy in syria has begun and it's time for assad to get out of the way while strong words but let's contrast that to the secretary of state hillary clinton speaking just yesterday about a warning of a potential downsides of the so-called arab spring in the middle east and north africa the transitions to democracy have inspired the world but they have also exposed ethnic and religious minorities to new dangers. people have been killed by their own neighbors because of their ethnicity or their faith some of the foreign policy experts i've spoken to call this a sort of buyer's remorse an acknowledgement by the united states that democracy u.s. style western democracy doesn't necessarily work perfectly all over the world the nato secretary general himself just today warning that libya could potentially fall under the sway of islamic extremists if the government is not steadily and

strongly established there so a lot of potential downsides to the democracy promotion that we've seen from this administration whether or not the sec knowledge will actually translate into foreign policy of course remains to be seen but we will be tracking that here for you. we will to discuss the latest developments in the region i'm joined by dr gupta moonlight he's the director of the german oriented institution. you know we're hearing the u.s. and nato changing their rhetoric on the region from encouraging change to being cautious about it could all these dangers have been for seen before they got involved. well of course each and every revolution will bring some changes which you can not predict but we all know that there will be turmoil that everything will change that there will be violence that is very typical for all reduces even in history so we had to expect some kind of you know turmoil human

rights violations which are happening but as long as the western countries. the leadership in libya for example to keep their human rights record straight and to prevent these for the damaging violations i think we are on the right way it is really is that likely that we are seeing of course these tribal tensions in libya how likely do you think they are to develop and if if it is possible to contain them what can be done. well i think there must be dialogue between all the different groups of different tribes and we have to tell people i mean our advisors who ever is there they should be cautious you know in trying to overcome disputes and to overcome problems in a peaceful way and not to kill each other not to start fighting among themselves

but i mean this is something this danger is always there on the horizon and we can only hope that it can be prevented while the african union says rebels may be killing black africans in libya while i'm just international is also accusing the country's new authorities of war crimes could it be then that nato is actually back people who are little or no better than gadhafi. well you cannot see this we are breaking really an uprising which was started by civilians and you could see this in the t.v. pictures these were students farmers and everybody came together to to really protest against these utterly regime which. had ruled during the last forty years for his own people so we can fully understand that we have to protect these people and we have to back them you know the way to a better future and i think you cannot accuse the nature of now that we should have seen it and they are

a bunch of bad guys but of course they are mixed there are mixed in libya has no institutions libya has no history of. institutions which would respect the human rights and and make sure that nothing like this happened so it is quite a quite a way of. happening at the moment in some places but i think we try in our constant dialogue with the leaders of the libyan revolution to make sure that this will not happen on a broad scale all over the country so are you encouraged finally by what we've heard so far from those leaders the national transitional council for example the head of that just yesterday he made a speech urging libyans to strive for a civil democratic state based on moderate is now can he really be taken at his word and how likely is that ambition. yes he can be on the should be taken on his word and we should be make it very clear that we expect something like this to develop in libya but libya is

a country which was tailored for the mr gadhafi and his family that was not the real state bills are with the institutions which were functioning government really and the judiciary legislature and the government so it was all it very difficult more a different model and therefore it's so difficult in the future we have to start from zero from script to build up institutions and to build up something which comes close to a democratically elected government and this will take time it will not be an easy easy task of course but i think. the positive mood in the copulation when you saw how happy people were in tripoli in the capital after the liberation i think is a good sign for a peaceful future. thank you very much indeed for joining us live there in berlin we appreciate it thank you you're most welcome but. experts have warned

all along that backing a revolution without knowing who is going to rule the country afterwards was a dangerous strategy and professor mark hellman from oxford university he told me earlier that he says that religious violence is what lies ahead for post revolt states. the question is what kind of democracy will you have either in egypt or perhaps in syria where the the core of the opposition to president assad is they are the brothers the cousins if you like of the option muslim brotherhood of these groups they were not pursued even indeed have majority support but they also say there's no question that the woman could be elected president all the christian court would have to remember in these countries like egypt and syria there are significant religious minorities both for a christian minorities they're also muslim groups who are regarded by the hardcore . the fundamentalists not really muslims as heretics and so there is a danger of that under the guise of democratization and what we will see is the replacement of secular dictators who are at least tolerated really just diversity

of to a fashion be replaced with very dogmatic hardline people who will want to kind of saudi symbol rigid religious authority that will not tolerate dissent amongst muslims of all normal sleep groups and i think that is a real danger appears the violence tends to bring the more radical people to the polls. in libya the national transitional council of those everyone in the seat progun afy stronghold of bani walid to leave the town as soon as possible before a full scale attack is launched anywhere about some kind of a dappy himself from an unknown but steven rambam who heads an international investigative agency says it's just a matter of time before he is found. because he is a nut but he's a very clever nut and he's a nut that's managed to survive for forty five years and i'm sure he took note of her or some of them was captured and i'm sure he took note of how saddam hussein was captured. and i'm sure he's avoiding those with circs but he will make

a new mistake. that interview coming your way a little later here on r.t.d. fifteen minutes past the hour head to other news now on r.t. italy is pushing a highly unpopular austerity package. i . think emotions were running high outside the parliament a series of tax hikes and spending cuts designed to save some d. printing dollars and spoke of measures were only approved by the senate despite weeks of wrangling and public protests and the if it will be enough to turn around years of economic stagnation and a culture of government excesses forty serra first report. is its leap of heads to once again tighten its belt in the light of new austerity measures politicians it seems they found a way to save themselves and pennies. of the inside

of the parliament you see. as like a free. round with very cheap prize and it's cheap yet exclusive many was leaked to italian let's press a magazine this is no. pay for them we voted that this. prize for the people of the parliament costs five million some for around a thousand. a year the controversial spending and their politicians have four hundred thousand euro is allocated language courses. and it looks like it's looking fairly big fat that's been hard for many to stomach . so we are an economic research and arlene are my people like us.

because they don't care they interest. only day interest so we are. outside the parliament building of meetings has been growing in a ferrari you know hunger strike and you know. all the people here are hungry for a future for their children and we don't see that. at the moment but to make the border actions listen we know we need to get three million people here and there will come protesting against what they say is the politicians of piece of taxpayers' money and an inability to deal adequately with the economic crisis in the country but still across italy cosseted cuts station spending in people's wages and incomes to the politicians it seems no expenses. people's appetite for change is growing i think. that their voices. i know this inspection so that they've got the hunger strike will continue and that

remain here until they get some answers. the. chinese prime minister has warned the e.u. that it must tackle its economic problems it comes just days after italian officials reportedly attempted to convince a chinese delegation to buy italy's debt francis run from investment company holdings ltd believes that europe shouldn't just hope for china to come to their rescue. europe's debt problems. are you a long think love child. of last resort. right. politicians have paid their budget deficits by charging their future so no. you can't charge them in two thousand and eleven a year finally captured. several european countries.

so to. be have to spend. have not spend more then a have. a financial crisis is raging across the atlantic as well the subject of the latest edition of crosstalk which is looking at how america's middle class is bearing much of the brunt now here's a quick preview of the program which will be showing later today. i was amazed to discover when i got to the united states that everybody was in a trade union is considered middle class you just mean guys with jobs that's what you mean that's a very terrible the family capital or capital gains or whatever you just need people who make money from money and people only money from work most of these middle class people make money from work and they should cast their lot in with the poor people who make their money to the point where being employed means little

will live once. and i think dealer i know involved once said very politically that for him working class men people who didn't want to work. was simply when it collapsed and i would put it the other way around when you get a crisis the middle class becomes the people who have to work and they stop having this illusion that they can become rich like everybody else and suddenly realize hey we're just like the poor guy down the street that i used to pass by. a deal to deploy an american radar system in eastern turkey has been agreed by the two countries as part of the nato backed missile defense plans comes just a day after remain yet agreed a deal with washington under which a land based interceptor missiles and over one hundred military personnel will be based on romanian soil well to discuss these developments are now joined live from

the u.s. by bruce gagne on his from the global network against weapons and nuclear power in space thanks very much for being with us now the aim of this shield is said to be defense against perceived threats from countries like iran and north korea something that is subject to a lot of skepticism is there more to this plan that meets the eye absolutely this really has nothing to do with iran or north korea it's all about surrounding russia and china today and these systems are part of the larger u.s. first strike attack. system underway the missile defense systems as they're called really are the shield of the sword and shield of u.s. first try planning. to control the u.s. space command and you'll lose your being the first rockets how can china said earlier twenty sixteen when these so-called missile defense systems are our nails you know whole operation so.
