moscow's announcer victor good sentencing in the you asked as politically motivated as the russian businessman gets twenty five years behind bars. reports of ongoing violence in syria despite a u.n. ultimatum had both sides must reach a complete cease fire next week. france's muslims say they're being scapegoated in the wake of the deadly shootings and to lose as the country's presidential hopefuls music stream clears the secure.

my former headquarters in central moscow you're watching are you with me and you so now it's good to have you with us six pm here in the russian capital ten am in new york and moscow has condemned victor boot sentencing in the u.s. is unacceptable and politically motivated russia's foreign minister said the contrary will help to ensure his rights are protected the russian businessman was convicted of conspiring to sell that prince to terrorist and kill americans actually run important reports. the u.s. government wanted victor boot to spend the rest of his life in an american prison however a u.s. federal judge has sentenced the russian citizen to twenty five years behind bars the knot is for conspiring to sell millions of dollars of weapons and surface to air missiles to colombian for rebels those rebels were really agents that were

posing undercover the u.s. federal judge delivered her sentence in manhattan. thursday afternoon that was the mandatory minimum sentence that she could give mr boot the u.s. federal judge has said that mr hasn't been an active arms dealer since two thousand and three and believes that there is no proof that mr bush was looking for opportunities to deal with terrorists kill americans victor boot through the first time stood up and addressed the courtroom he said that he never intended to kill anyone or sell arms to anyone he said that is the truth and then he turned around and pointed his finger at the d e agents that testified against him saying that they know that what he's saying is the truth yes he expected the sentence because i believe the judge is very intelligent very professional it's an acknowledgment of

that you're going to do he's a sions major but you prosecutors i think if you judge it was much constrained by dual should of choosing to close the case. mr boot in a recent interview said he was the victim of a u.s. propaganda and mainstream media narrative that was bestowed upon him without any truth there was a movie made about him the lord of war and. us press him the merchant of death that he is just a legitimate businessman since the very big. getting mr good has maintained his innocence he continues to do so his defense attorney following the sentencing came outside of the courtroom and said that victor boot is an innocent man. and they let you know that the big news is that the games were that the jury is just beginning. you know you know it was positions are clear.

was arrested in thailand in a sting operation in march two thousand and eight following his arrest the u.s. was pressing for him to be taken to the united states but the russian citizen was in. jail for some two years and during two different court hearings type courts refused the u.s. extradition request the russian federation also said that mr putin a russian citizen and also a former soviet military officer are should not be extradited to the united states none the less in november two thousand ton mr boot was taken out of thailand by a group of u.s. officials according to documents released by wiki leaks the u.s. government spent an enormous amount of time trying to get custody of victor following his arrest in thailand according to u.s. cables u.s.

president barack obama was urged to personally call thailand's prime minister directly about who in addition the state department and the attorney general of fourteen's will weaken the documents were encouraged to call the thai embassador highlighting the massive drug enforcement administration commitment to thailand to the u.s. federal judge says she will recommend that mr bloom remains in the prisons general population for now the russian citizen heads back to a maximum security prison in brooklyn forty from in homs federal court house marina r t. well boots not the only foreigner to ensure high pressure extradition to the states britain calls them headed over citizen's euro m.p. gerard batten says that once someone sent to the us it's almost impossible to escape the clutches of the american legal system. it may be some cases where it's permissible if somebody is organized crime it's very rare but i think has to be

created with great caution and what we also have enough under the american system is once people have been entrapped and taken to a court you have this plea bargain system where people offer a story you know sixty five years in prison unless they plead guilty to a lesser offense and get a few years i mean this isn't in my view this isn't a legal system this is a this is a system of oppression where people are forced into admitting some cargo very often in order to get a lesser sentence and then you know or start fights longer even they would otherwise in america's barbaric prison system who could resist that kind of pressure replay were arrested and taken to the u.s. you know it's it's an unbelievable pressure on things that you know how we should be protecting our own people from that and not surrendering people unless we think there's a car slowing carries against them that i should have to answer in a foreign country. well despite the u.n. ultimatum to syria to complete the ceasefire by next week reports of violence from

the country continue key cities and parts of the capital remain restive although president says he's implementing the u.n. backed peace plan by withdrawing the military from certain areas now the un's latest statement raises the possibility of further steps if syria doesn't comply and go shares have been deployed ahead of an observer mission russia's warning other nations arming the rebels because it could escalate the crisis berger is the founder and president of the future of freedom foundation he now joins us live via broadband from new rats mr thornburgh how wary is this apparent spike in violence as the clock ticks towards that cease fire on both sides. well it's not surprising at all this is what happens in revolutions you have a situation here where you have a group dictatorship in our power for decades and when you when you have a system in which people are not allowed to vote for people who listens and alst

regimes peacefully through elections then violence violent revolution civil war is the only way you can get rid of that dictatorship and so as long as you have people that are violently try and get almost a dictatorship you're going to have a dictatorship responding with violence to suppress that rebellion and it's not only with the dictatorship that any regime that a democratically elected regime faced with people they're trying to buy likely overthrow the government is going to meet my lawyers for i don't it's just this is not surprising at all well damascus is worried in fact with what you just said that the rebels might not comply with this cease fire on their side they might in fact use the cease fire to try to make some gains how likely do you think the ceasefire is likely to be do you buy some of the armed rebels. i think very likely i mean the rebels have one goal and then is to oust this rule dictatorship and so if you have

a cease fire where the rebels are under that cease fire and say ok we're going we're no longer going to engage in violence against this regime then what was the point of starting the rebellion in the first place and so it's very likely that the rebels are going to use any kind of a cease fire to consolidate their position and continue forward with their goal so therefore the ceasefire really doesn't resolve anything in terms of what both sides one hears france and the u.s. share your skepticism about whether or not the cease fire would work but what they're worried about is that they're really adamant that has to go that's not part of the cease fire deal so how do you see syria's next chapter if all sides do drop their arms unfolded where's this going to go i think it's impossible to predict i think it's it's going to go to work which side wins this. revolution

and we all know that sometimes revolutions are successful in which case the revolutionaries become gigantic heroes through the history of their country when the revolutions fail they become criminals that are hung for treason. but only one side and one in a revolution and so i think it's impossible to predict which side is going to win in this one but western and arab nations have rounded increasingly on assad but if this is the fire cease fire again i know you're talking about the impossibility of making predictions but if it is that here too do you think they're capable the west and the arab states of not interfering and letting syria solve itself and its own crisis. well this is where the western hypocrisy comes into play the u.s. for example is pressuring the assad regime to relinquish power they're doing it under this aura of democracy and freedom well this is this hypocrisy we know that

the us loves dictatorships they just sent one point three billion dollars to the gyptian dictatorship they support the dictatorship in bahrain because of the u.s. military base there what's involved here in syria is a dictatorship that is not pro u.s. and so the u.s. sees this is an opportunity for regime change if we can get rid of this pick tator and install a pro u.s. military dictator like in egypt or in other other places around the world and the u.s. will be satisfied but make no mistake about it this is not some glorious cars on the part of the west you in stark and a pro freedom pro democracy regime this is about empire is and always lives right check up weinberger founder and president of the future of freedom foundation live with us on the line from virginia they have broadband thanks for. you want to. also ahead for you this hour the war crimes court and libya fight it out over

gadhafi is most influential the hague claims alice is being assaulted in cost city as libya refuses to hand him over insisting you strive. also don quixote's of our time the residents of california rally against wind turbines which they say are damaging the environment and in danger in wild by. first a deadly shooting and produce has ended fresh fuel to the fire of the debate about immigration and radical islam in the e.u. presidential hopefuls in france picked up on it trying to score political points ahead of the vote later this month and that's making the country's muslims feel increasingly isolated as are so they explained this may be a film about the struggle to live in the french suburbs but this. is

reality. the shooting of seven people in the loose by a frenchman of algerian descent was the latest incident to intensify an already heated debate on security immigration and integration in a country with the largest muslim population in europe. firstly i must say this is an isolated case fortunately my so young immigrants in france do not have this kind of behavior and i think this is a result of his personal journey he felt that it was out of place in france probably humiliation discrimination and therefore personal kind of feeling of hatred hatred of france in the words of this second generation muslim immigrant many by herself don't feel french. in the suburbs there is this feeling of rejection by france and the government socially when we say i'm from the suburbs here not taken seriously when young people apply for jobs and the sun resumes and

have a suburban address it was many problems some employers tend to favor people from central paris or sometimes she says favor a more french name and therein lies a problem the french republic's values of liberty equality and fraternity seem to exclude those living on the periphery like this parisian suburb of non there where we chanced upon a law in protest to begin you need my claim the right to live like everyone else if you earn between one thousand and thirteen hundred year olds you live in as best as you live in the middle of electromagnetic waves with leaves in unsanitary conditions just five minutes from areas like the. people dying here and trolling different i see no no i denounce that fact in france we'll have a revolt there's a first saying to describe the country today losing a france or moving a two speeds after the article by themselves stuck on the small removing frame some

say they belong to a generation already lost by the stay. may find a sense of belonging elsewhere and by the time that happens any efforts to bring them back a likely to be futile and where some may find solace is anyone's guess it's a man not only on people but there are those who create heroes like robin hood today it's the likes of osama bin ladin or other so-called leaders who create a dear there's a new generation that is hungry and vicious and aggressive if there is a conflict on the internet it's an easy access to information freely and easily and the worst is ignorance that is reinforced by the dinner now this is a huge danger to the us in response politicians bombard the public with proposals for even more policies like policing internet behavior you see the number of new immigrants or stripping some of their citizenship which critics say are holo president sarkozy has been really trying to espouse the line of the right wing.

party here as well. you know bleak ways attacking immigrants talking about. making issues coverings of muslim girls he said become major issues in france rather than a question of creating jobs and perhaps the question of how to bring back the very basics of a society that calls itself a gala tarion tesser sylvia r.t. paris well in the pre-election favor president sarkozy even threatened to pull out of the us border free zone political science professor perigord and believes it's no more than a desperate attempt to win over votes. so cosy says one thing one day he runs a different hair the next day so. when he told you i chang and he said it would be stricter rules but i don't think this should be taken seriously first a lot of this stuff that is announced could not be implemented because all the other you introduce against it strange appeal to people who focus on immigration

and so he wants to have used playing games with the horrible murder to police in toulouse a few weeks ago. piers as it stops immigration first is not doing it second no one in europe could grieve or to a drastic change of change in rhetoric for a candidate who is basically and seems to be losing right now. in other news bosnia is marking twenty years since the start of one of the bloodiest conflicts in recent history that left almost one hundred thousand dead and over four million displaced in the capital sorry a veil an orchestra will play front of thousands of empty red tears for every man woman and child killed in this city a war resulted from the breakup of yugoslavia began after the european community recognized bosnia as an independent country the conflicts of violent visit among the palestinian serbs croats and muslims with nato eventually forced to intervene

serbian story a new course of knowledge says why certain countries only excel rated the conflict . and there i run into these two transient conflict in a sense it's always fun to you know eighty two with their. the. war story. is still in order and. it is one thousand nine hundred two things really haven't changed much and moved on since she was injured in two years there's a myth about bosnia that it was a conflict that ran rampant going on end of the rest had to step in and stop it in fact there was it was going peace process and it had actually the results it was a constitutional we meant a compromise between the parties are representing three of the communities and

everything was set for a peaceful resolution of the credit of the constitution praises and then we're going to merge testimonies and information the american ambassador stepped in council with the rules and party to basically reneged on your. promise american backing which is what ended up happening in this one percent dated the war the war crimes court defense team of safe al islam gadhafi claims he's being been assaulted will they be in they'll be as custody the hague demands as immediate handover but tripoli wants to try to obey colonel son on home soil over the death of protesters in the revolt what's to pose of his father over researcher sarah marusek says the i think his reputation as a judicial bastow is questionable. and there are big questions over the fact of the justice of the i.c.c. if you look at the history there's only been one conviction recently and also who has been the target of the i.c.c.

are africans african leaders and certainly africa's not the only continent to host war criminals and to experience grave offenses being committed and so really the i.c.c. hasn't necessarily prove minute ability to effectively carry out justice and this is hugely problematic because if you're going to have an international criminal court that supposably carrying out principles of justice if they're not equally applied then of course it's not in any way possible for them to be fair so it really is a sort of colonial power play to go after certain bad bogeyman to probably make the west feel good about itself. but u.s. marines face as i just missed all of our comments he made on facebook as we report online for you he criticized commander in chief brought obama which military board ruled as misconduct of the sergeant claims he was only exercising freedom of speech . of the u.s.

coast guards opened fire on a deserted japanese ship that's been dripping in the pacific since last year's tsunami. these are the images the world seen from the streets of canada. trunk operations room to to get. twenty one minutes past the hour of this have a look at some world news for you in brief moment. their independence for a large desert region in the north they are they are captured three key towns during the mayhem caused by a coup in the south african union says the declaration is no and void. have long complained about their treatment by the government but the drive for separation is suspected of being driven by al qaeda. two people have been killed in

green communities say they're blighted by government subsidies wind farms which are damaging the environment and danger and wildlife refuge of course we have reports now on living in the shadow of the giant generators. vibration new waste and flushing rats troops at night not exactly environmentally friendly see those living right next to these rotating joints are all completely paid by taxpayers subsidies neutrally rate increases it's a complete corruption where our politicians and it needs to be stopped and now robert moran and his wife are running you can paint to start energy companies building the windmills even closer to his home and battle being fought in many small rule towns in the whole it's sort of a money pit where our taxpayer money is going into these they're destroying thousands of acres they're actually hurting the environment that they're really don't propose to buy and so on her doorstep with almost daily letters to her local

government and she succeeded with the energy company abandoning its plans but her case was very much the exception to the rule for more than thirty years now when power industry and its largest have promoted it as a green and clean but for many who live directly with the impacts of this energy was more about the color of money with a huge government handouts wind farms began popping up all over the place but it was subsidies in the bank at the high maintenance cost coupled with the relatively small power generation have seen many now lying on. acts when a company executive believes the industry should be left to find its own place in the energy field instead of encouraging companies only interested in the government's hand outs we should not. subsidize where and or solar energy that is the wrong way to develop renewable energy and. we should treat renewable

energy just the same way we treat electricity from any other source whether it's coal or nuclear gas or oil the frenzy of windmill building during the winter rush didn't just ruin the view but also devastated wildlife and many of these farm stand on my grade three passes for birds so answered with hundreds of birds and bats being killed by the huge blaze every year. it seems the green and clean intro has generated little more than brute kill and a huge amount of animosity when you look which the majority reporting from california. time to check on the financial world arena joining from the business with the latest friday markets closing what's going on out there how is the rate. so what you said the markets are closed in fact in most of the world they are

closed because it's good friday we have traders in hong kong europe and the u.s. are all celebrating in fact one of the few markets open today is russia and even that's about so close but i'll talk about that a little bit later we have a report that came out on the u.s. economy basically that the u.s. added one hundred twenty thousand jobs in march and this was much lower than expected in fact it was the smallest increase in five months but also more on the markets later for its own talk about a feud that's escalating among the shareholders of the world's top aluminum producer and that is of course roussel now the feud is between the two men but you can see on your screen right now and basically victor vax is launching legal action against who sells main owner. and that's over in agreements with commodities trader glade for some up to half a boost aluminum exports but so far it was against is the oil and now claims it's violated his shareholder rights and earlier he resigned his results chairman over

fertilizer all collie we use in almost super science this hour and what we know about our company is that it cut production by quote twenty seven percent in the first quarter because of lower demand but with a look at the exchange rates we see that the ruble is losing their gains currencies and when it comes to the euro dollar trading it's a format and that's following concerns that we will see a further risk of the euro zone crisis is the printing and basically and that's what this is the operate from the business that's not much going on because of the easter holidays but who will be celebrating that next week here at c.n.n. so thanks for that update for you next hour we're going to take a short break and i'll be back with have gone into the money there with.
