joining us nearly two decades of talks have finally come to fruition as russia is accepted into the world trade organization it will strengthen the country's global ties and provide a big incentive for business however membership of the club also comes hand in hand with tough competition has diable she explains. completes his eighteen year old a c. to join the world trade body no other country has taken so long to enter president medvedev of russia has criticized the hurdles placed in russia's path towards joining he's accused the european union and united states in particular of illegal subsidies to their farmers and co makers know the pulse of industry in an attempt to stop competition from other countries. by consensus that means any single state can block can block decisions a major complaints have come from georgia which has slowed up the procedure up of the russian delegation here is looking at the positives some states have benefited

enormously from membership china's exports for example of skyrocketed to the west since the eight joined ten years ago but others have found the hall to cope with the foreign competition that comes it is a transition phase russia gets several years around seven on average which to lower its import tariffs which makes it easier for foreign companies to export their products to russia but they will also be opportunities russia's does have quite a low cost base which means the russian producers can produce religiously cheaper cheaply compared to other countries and that should allow it you opportunities to export now the chief trade negotiator here for the w t o from russia side is makes it he says that they parliaments of russia does still need to ratify this agreement and he expects that to happen early next year. and threw out years of talks voices but for and against joining the delis here have been had in russia. now went to find out could be the winners and losers once all the membership documents are scientists. with only studio caves of hard talks no hoover it's still not clear

exactly what russia's double membership is offering the country and with now used to live in still firmly behind closed doors experienced enough to try and lead to crystal ball gazing. the predictions begin with agriculture to into the w t. russia had to pledge to reduce instate support to farming we've already traveled two hundred and fifty kilometers away from moscow and what we see here is a sad picture goes through it is like this one us road all across russia and with a struggle in agriculture industry their number is only increasing thirty percent of the countries are will land currently not in use and the raw fear is that cut of foreign subsidies like session will bring will only make things dramatically worse for the russians currently importing forty five percent of all food products in the sunni countries to seventy percent local producers will be unable to compete with

it all down. meanwhile those competitive enough will stay afloat and benefit alexander and his family run a small business just outside moscow there one hundred twenty goats skiff enough milk to produce calories of high quality cheese and a bit back in the crystal ball the future doesn't look right from wrong to mystic copper juices have been on the menu start the w t o lobby critics say russia's making history will be unable to meet the raised competition exception of a tract offering a gloomy prediction that once the country's in bad lines will stop factories will shut and thousands of people will be left out of work and out of la however the predictions continue to glow with foreign investments said to be ready to rocket the cumulative gains we believe or roughly three point three percent of russian g.d.p. in the early years after accession after more like ten years with

a grosser would gain about eleven percent of g.d.p. but apart from economic achievements the country's political image should benefit not been part of the global body would of the past be a little strange russia has been the biggest economy not to be integrated into the w t o but after an eighteen year marathon. of negotiations all the world's key players finally come together under the same umbrella. written off now t. mosco. a hero to some a traitor others bradley manning a us onto private accused of siphoning military secrets off to weaken leaks has appeared at a pretrial hearing at an army base in maryland among the documents mining meek's was footage showing u.s. soldiers killing civilians in iraq if found guilty he faces life in prison or even the death penalty who has been. it was this a video. of u.s.

army pilots in iraq eagerly firing shots at innocent people on the ground and hundreds of thousands of secret military documents and cables leaked to wiki leaks there have been some criminal acts committed by u.s. government employees and those employees have never been held accountable for them all this made public over a year and a half ago by bradley manning a twenty two year old army private turned whistleblower for the past eighteen months that bradley manning has been behind bars has become somewhat of a symbol to his supporters he represents the extreme secrecy and lack of transparency within the u.s. government and the document that make public the feel that the u.s. has some dark secrets it shows that in my opinion in the last decade there's been no real. lessening of the standards of diplomatic reporting and in our military the real disregard for life of torture of assassinations of as

executions have become more of the norm really. and for bringing all this to light he's regarded by many as a hero he has impacted governments around the world he's lifted the veil of the us empire to show us what we really are basically i got a military because it really made it michael patterson is an iraq war veteran he says seeing this video changed his life from the wiki leaks stuff start coming out that's when i kind of hit that wall that wall. basically i decided i was going to do something more but today manning is paying the price he's been locked up behind bars as a maximum custody detainee subject to solitary confinement and forced nudity which some argue are forms of torture he was being treated as if he had already been convicted and the punishment was. going to be a very brutal punishment he's now charged with aiding the enemy his critics say he put american lives in jeopardy just because you don't like the country's foreign

policy doesn't mean you can out it to the planet that doesn't make you a truth teller that makes you a tree a traitor and as manning finally gets his day in court his supporters say the only thing he's guilty of is telling the truth he awoke a lot of people up to the actual realities of his world and he deserves a medal if the truth is actually undermining our national security and there's something wrong with the truth. in washington liz wall r.t. . runback and. she will coalitions has rattling manning is being treated as there was criminal evidence or simply telling the truth. i think the bradley manning if it's true that he was the one who released the documents to wiki leaks will be considered in u.s. history as a hero because he took a stand and is obviously willing to pay a very difficult price possibly life in prison possibly the death sentence for

exposing a criminal war the iraq war is a crime against humanity it's a war crime in fact bradley manning had an obligation to reveal that this country was carrying out criminal activities of course we all knew that and one sense but by releasing these hundreds of thousands of classified documents if in fact it was he who did it he did a great deal to expose to shine a bright light on those who are committing crimes against the iraqi people and in fact against the american people bradley manning has been held wrongly he's been held in solitary confinement he's been pre-judged by the military and by the media he has been stripped naked in forest in solitary confinement that's a kind of torture and he's being treated as the worst possible lowest criminal in fact somebody who's not even part of the judicial system since he's been pre-judged in. this is c.n.n. still ahead here this hour a demand for dialogue while most papers and see a new resolution on syria to the one condemning signs of violence look at. a

simmering civil war with the country. find out why independence celebrations and a time in kazakhstan turned violent with at least ten people dead. and us a new make a second see during legislation which some say may pave the way to internet censorship in america despite washington preaching web freedom to the world. a u.s. court has won a default judgment that iranian officials including the supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei a provide hope to the nine eleven hijackers who carried out of the worst type in history on american soil the lawsuit was filed by the families of the atrocities victims and there was no iranian representation in court tomorrow from that actual iranian american council says that it's part of a buildup compay in who are against iran. i don't see any evidence that is particularly compelling that iran had

a direct role in nine eleven i know that we have seen. in washington there's been a campaign in new york to link iran very publicly to nine eleven on the anniversary of those attacks earlier this year there was a billboard campaign in times square with god's face and something along the lines of you know the silent partner of al qaeda. there's clearly a campaign right now to try to ratchet up the pressure for yet another u.s. attack on a middle eastern country and i just think this is so dangerous if you go back to when those attacks happened immediately afterward iran condemned the attacks there were there were candlelight vigils on the streets of tough broad in solidarity with the americans who lost their lives. in cooperating with the united states in helping topple the taliban who is. the enemy of iran as was osama bin laden

what we're seeing now is this strange self-fulfilling prophecy process and i'm worried that this is exactly what we saw with iraq this is this is a campaign to go to war and the u.n. security council is pouring over the details of a new draft resolution on syria about food that put forward by russia it condemns all signs in the ongoing conflict calling for violence to stall but there's no mention of sanctions and while the u.s. state department says it once supported the resolution unless it's changed moscow has been trying to mediate a peaceful solution for months there's been a little less out of the violence the free syrian army claims to have moved in twenty five thousand troops fighting to bring down president assad but western states blamed the violence on president assad's regime and remain heated on the role of armed gangs but asia times correspondent at the ask about it says there's plenty of evidence that is actually happening and weapons are coming from forward. what's interesting is what the u.s.

and nato countries go sit there and accept an acceptable is that the syrian government cannot fight an armed insurgency in their own territory the free syrian army they're getting weapons smuggled from the middle east to the borders in turkey keep it in jordan as well this has been already proved then about the u.n. figures about a lot of people are seriously questioned now if it be lies numbers if you say that five thousand people were kewl over these past few months it makes like almost no one hundred that the effect so there is the fog of prewar is already there so the russian move is an intelligent move because it's a preemptive i would say to resume it condemns both sides in asked for you when peacekeeping mission in fact to still do what meet the wants is a simmering civil war let's put it this way as a friend you for something much tougher probably after the american elections in

one year. deadly clashes have broken out between police and demonstrators in an oil town in western kazakhstan prosecutors said at least ten people were killed and some injured including police offices the tunnel vision as then was marking the twentieth anniversary of the country's independence once integration stan van and is believed to walk as well calling for higher wages local government buildings as well as dazzling oil company and a habitat has been torched dates reckons to be some of the west and rest a day and ensure each full a soviet republic since it gained independence. russian authorities say that ford attempts to use passenger luggage to smuggle radio active material in tehran after it was intercepted before being loaded on to a flight from moscow to teheran the information was revealed on friday but for may's unknown one exactly the incident took place at moscow's sheremetyevo airport according to officials a regular by. which security check with old steel cases packed in

a suitcase the radiation levels of the containers were twenty times higher than normal the russian federal customs service said sodium twenty was recovered which can only be produced at a nuclear plant that is used for medical purposes so reports suggest a passenger was a no brainier citizen the iranian embassy in moscow has confirmed that the luggage one of its nationals. actually is a student was seized a month ago however it added that the confiscated materials were only used in dentistry and the incident was quickly resolved. your slow makers are considering legislation which critics claim could mean censorship of the internet in america while washington hails what freedom in other countries as vital to free expression the veil is intended to cut pirated online content but opponents say it's a weapon to control the web although the debates are where the bill i have been adjourned until the new year blogger and ally activists by. the rights of american

people are at stake. they're listening they're finally sneaking in there and because people are getting into the streets and going somewhere they're gene doing themselves and being pioneers who. speaks out and so there's a big group of corporations that would have you know who you are under this law to go ahead and so we can enact some answers on you because you have some sort of infringement on us and therefore do you write off of them all now and take away revenue the only ones that can do that and that's are basically there's going or. taking away our i. am now going to speak up and the internet is the place where you can freely exchange information. and ideas are basically going to. do. the u.c.

davis guy on every thing and then share it for everyone to see and it makes it funny and it laughs and there's this idea that they can crush and idea with censorship and police everywhere this idea can't be crushed. the recount all top stories in about ten minutes time next the world on plate for you as moscow takes a seat at some of the council's international. hello
