counter announcer victor mood sentencing in the us i was politically motivated as the russian businessman gets twenty five years behind bars. reports of ongoing violence in syria just find a un ultimatum that both sides must reach a complete ceasefire next week. france's muslims say they're being scapegoated in the wake of the temple shootings and clues of the country's presidential hopefuls music streaming beer and try and secure. and russian markets and the trade in session in the rightmost in the fall it's all week so far all the details

and business and so on some of it. here is our t.v. live from moscow it's seven pm i don't need to know why with our top story this hour moscow has condemned viktor bood sentencing in the u.s. that's unacceptable and politically motivated russia's foreign minister said the country will hell boot to ensure his rights are protected the russian businessman was convicted of conspiring to sell weapons to terrorists and kill americans are going to court and i have reports from new york. the u.s. government wanted victor 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 and that 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 grootes 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 or kill americans victor boot for 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 use the nation's major but the prosecutors i think that if the judge was much constrained by dual she would have chosen to close the case. mr booth in a recent interview said he was the victim of a us propaganda. mainstream media narrative that was put upon him without any truth there was a movie made about him the lord of war and he said u.s. press dubbed him the merchant of death and 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. i want to let you know a little bit this is not the end. but the journey is just beginning. well you

know it was positions are clear. and he released conviction. who was arrested in thailand in a sting operation in march two thousand and eight. the u.s. was pressing for him to be taken to the united states according to documents released by wiki leaks the was government spent enormous amounts of time trying to get custody of viktor booth 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 the u.s. federal judge says she will recommend that mr bush remains in the prisons general population for now the russian citizen heads back to a maximum security prison in brooklyn morning from homs federal court house marina r.t. . well boots not the only foreigner to endure high pressure extradition to the states

britain also handed over citizens here and says but what if someone sent to the us it's almost impossible to escape the clutches of the american legal system. but there may be some cases where it's permissible if somebody is organized crime is the only way of getting out but i think has to be created with great caution and what we also have a lot under the american system is once people have been entrapped and taken to a court you have this plea bargain system where people are faced with you know sixty five years in prison unless they plead guilty to a lesser offense and get a few years i mean this is in my view this isn't a legal system this is this is a system of oppression where people are forced into admitting some kind of pill very often in order to get a lesser sentence and then you know also face longer even the they would otherwise in america's barbaric prison system who could resist that kind of pressure they were arrested and taken to the u.s.

you know it's it's an unbelievable pressure on paper and the things that you know our court we should be protecting our own people from that and not surrendering people unless we think there's a cost or in case against them that i should have to answer in a foreign country. that 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 made restive although president says he's implementing the un backed peace plan i was drawing his military certain areas latest statement raises the possibility of further steps if syria doesn't comply and you go see it as have been deployed ahead of an observer mission buses warning other nations arming the rebels because it could ask away at the crisis take a porn burger from the future of freedom foundation first syria's opposition and nato want regime change not a ceasefire. if you have a cease fire were the rebels honor that cease fire and say ok we're we're no longer

going to engage in violence against this regime then one of the point of starting the rebellion in the first place and so it's very unlikely that the rebels are going to use any kind of the cease fire to. consolidate their position and continue with their goal 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 just your partner see we know that the us loves dictatorships they just sent one point three billion dollars to the egyptian dictators you know 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 as an opportunity for regime change if we can get rid of this dictator 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 cause on

the part of the west you in stark pro freedom pro democracy regime this is an empire as it always lives. so i have for you on r.t. this our dark cloud is of our time resident california rallying against wind turbines which they say are damaging the environment and dame trained. last month's deadly shooting rampage by a frenchman an algerian descent into lose really minded debate about immigration and radical islam in the e.u. presidential hopefuls and france jumped on the story in a bid to score political points ahead of later this month however it's made its a focus i should say that's made the country's muslims feel increasingly isolated as are so they have now explains this may be a film about the struggle to live in the french suburbs that this. it

is reality. the shooting of seven people had to lose by a frenchman of all jury and dissent was the latest incident to intensify an already heated debate on security immigration and immigration in a country with the largest muslim population in europe. firstly i must say this is an isolated case and fortunately most young immigrants in france do not have this kind of behavior 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 and hatred of funds in the words of this second generation muslim immigrant many like yourself 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 you're not in seriously when young people apply for jobs and the sun resumes and

have a suburban address it causes 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 be good 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 leeds in unsanitary conditions just five minutes from posh areas like. people dying here and all in different i see no no i denounce that fact and france will have a revolt there's a first thing to describe the country today losing translated as a frazzle moving a two speeds up of the young people will find themselves stuck on the slower moving

frame some say the good ones were generation already lost by the stay. they 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 about. not only on people but there are those who create heroes like robin hood today it's the life that was some of the moderate or other so-called leaders who create a deal there's a new generation that is hungry and vicious and aggressive if there is a conflict on the internet and easy access to information freely and easily and the worst is ignorance that is reinforced by a dinner now this is a huge danger to the youth 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 but critics say our holo president sarkozy has been really trying to expose the line of the right.

actions party here as well. you know believe ways attacking immigrants talking about. making issues coverings of muslim girls he said become major issues in france rather than the 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 cilia r.t. paris well in the pre-election favor president sarkozy even threatened to pull out of the e.u. is puerto freezone a political science professor perigord young of the it's no more than a desperate attempt to win votes. so he says one thing one day he runs a different hair the next day so. when you talk to a chang and he said they would be strict rules but i don't think this should be taken seriously at first a lot of the stuff that is announced could not be implemented because all the other

your influence is strange appeal to people who focus on immigration and so he wants to he's playing games with the four horrible murder to police in toulouse a few weeks ago. piers as a joke stops integrations our first he's not doing it second no one in europe could agree to a drastic change of change. for a candidate who is basically. and seems to be losing right now molly's rebels have declared independence for a large desert region in the north they are earlier accounts are three key towns during the may have caused when the south why have long complained about their treatment by the government but the drive for separation is suspected of being driven by al qaida but only me now is i've got up from the nation of islam religious and humanitarian movement joining us from gonna be a broad band thank you for being with us tell us why has mali descended into this

fractured instability i'm sure there are a lot of different factors playing into this. well that's a very convoluted situation and it would take people on the ground i was in mali. and i had an opportunity to meet with president george and he spent forty five minutes describing the situation that was going on and not a part of africa. it's very confusing situation and when i hear the name and they want to set up for a show deal laura and the northern part of mali it makes me think it has all the forces behind it remember that there was a election the twenty ninth that is more or less even the. with right before the election with a sitting president could not run again according to the constitution and you know he was on his way oh well we do have

a clue at this time and still living the democratic process move forward so these forces that work in mali better hiding again this is the future and needs are problems they spread to other african countries and they will all of the african spring the country around. the solution for this problem not just come from what was thanks for the african union but it has to be an african wide solution with the western powers that have been in and mali at the table to make sure that doing this crazy people of mali do not suffer by cutting off you go to the center of their currency closing their banks in the midst of this confused situation. either way you have or might be behind it whatever forces you're talking about the fact is mali is now divided there are three political forces the top rebels and of course the ousted government how possible do you think are you

hearing that civil war is. well but i hear is that the cool makers have decided that they've got themselves in a mess because of the stated reason for the coup but they don't forward it was that they didn't get support from the government in power to fight for the eggs in the north and to give them pay and that they needed this is the reason that they thought for a minute that this school for those in the north of three main cities and the cleared independent stream so would be able to accomplish while the throne the government indeed was a miserable failure and now the country is beginning to break up into pieces let's think doggone area they will say we want to succeed this is all the results in my informed opinion. and gadhafi thought as i said on this program before we got to sort of what people thought of him he struggled to keep africa

because he talked about yeah i do i didn't want to interrupt you because you're touching on something that i want to expand on about how it's known that farai fled to libya after operating as procrit out the fighters and back revolution if there are turning armed and battle hardened back to mali i mean that's got to be worse for the country now. absolutely but what you have to see there's a lot of people living in libya who just have the highlights and what about those that get into a chair in nigeria goes they're going to mauritania in algeria these numbers are on believe and they will be stable. because you know who want the amount of weapons that they have even if they go out of care but also have normal waves are going to get in the whole region become unstable out of those that you see evolving is only

a. microcosm of what's happening you know the african countries in that period right now all right i'm blocked by mohamed from the nation of islam for live just and humanitarian movement thank you very much for being with us on the line from ghana. thank you for having us. bosnia is marking twenty years since the start of one of the bloodiest conflicts in recent history had left almost one hundred thousand ted and over four million displaced in the capital sarajevo an orchestra will play in front of thousands of empty bed tears one for every man woman and child killed in the city of war resulting from the breakup of yugoslavia and began after the european community recognized bosnia as an independent country conflicts all finds a vision among the bosnian serbs croats muslims with nato eventually intervening with serbian historian you post amal it says western countries only accelerated the conflict. that there are no ironically still trapped in the consulate in

a sense it's always ninety nine if you truly think. the political option is scary a field that was in power when the war started even still are and petri mining. it is still one thousand nine hundred two. and changed much moved on since even boys in twenty years and years of news about bosnia that it was a concept that ran rampant gone it's own end of the west had to step in and stop it in fact there was a walking peace process that had actually the results there was a constitutional event a compromise between the two parties are interesting to me at the communities and everything was set for a peaceful resolution of the credit of the constitutional crisis and then it was inching towards testimonies and information the american ambassador stepped in council to the muslim party to these you need to only react and you needn't go at

it long and you haven't been promised american baccy which is what ended up happening in this intercity datable war a u.s. marine that's all over comments he made on facebook i thought we were poor port that for your online privatize commander in chief rock obama or some military board will as misconduct go with darvon claims it was only exercise for him the. conflict u.s. coast guard opened fire on a third of the twenty's sept of the tripling of the pacific ocean that last year it's. these are the images. from the streets of canada after. showing corporations are all over the.

well look now more of the world's main news for you two people being killed in a botched cyber attack believed to have been targeting intelligence offices in southern yemen the bomber who is suspected of having links to al qaeda was on route to his intended destination when the blast occurred a civilian who was driving him at the time of the explosion was also killed yemen has seen a rise in violence since president hadi took office in late february. billowy president. has died according to medical and ministerial sources although no official confirmation has been made the doctor who treated him said on thursday that the leader was clinically dead after suffering a heart attack if confirmed his demise could create new political tensions and add to growing social unrest allowing is one of the poorest countries in the world with most of the population living on less than a dollar a day. a group of californians are in

a spin over how the golden state's going green communities say they're blinded by government subsidized wind farms the environment and endangering wildlife but you know of course in a report on living i'm a shadow of the giant generators. vibration noise and flushing rats troops at night are not exactly environmentally friendly save those living right next to these rotating joints and servants are all completely paid by taxpayers subsidies you kill your rate increases it's a complete corruption by our politicians and it needs to be stopped now robert moran and his wife are running it can paint and stop energy companies building the windmills even closer to his home a battle being fought in many small rural 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

burning slave proposed to buy and so on her doorstep with almost daily letters to her local governments 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 green and clean but for many who live directly with the impact of this energy green was more about the color of money with huge government handouts wind farms began popping up all over the place but it was subsidies in the bank the high maintenance cost coupled with the relatively small power generation have seen many now lying on. acts one company executive at least the end is truly should be left to find its own place in the end we can field instead of encouraging companies only interested in the government's handouts we should lots. subsidize with anderson for energy that is

the wrong way to develop or noble energy instead 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 great tree pass for birds so answered with hundreds of birds and bats being killed by the huge blaze every year. it seems the green and clean has generated little more than brute kill and a huge amount of animosity when i do the question why are t.v. reporting from california. let's cross over to business and see what is happening in the financial world marina joins us from mercy markets ended the session in the red it's been a volatile week out there part of beating. yes i was trying to say if we only look

at them i say definitely had its fair share of ups and downs but it's also worth mentioning that russia is one of the few markets a trading today and that's because of course traders in hong kong europe and the u.s. are all celebrating the easter holidays and of course it's been pretty much a slow day because of that but let's take a look at the closing picture for the russian markets we can see there both the arts the s. and the my six lost over one and a half per side in fact we had minister for economic development saying that he's really low where their g.d.p. forecast for this year which of course that encourage investors let's take a look at the individual movers on the my sax and there they are we see that most of the blue chips were lower unnaturally gasper on the walls over supercenter and we know about the company that has struck a deal to increase its presence in the vietnamese shall spot about the health of course and then we have a sperm bank losing over one and a half percent and what we know about that is it's reported

a sixty percent increase in its net profit in the first quarter of last according to russian i can understand there's moving on we have fertilizer on probably releasing it just on the super side as well and the company their production by twenty seven percent in the first quarter and that's because of a lower band all right let's move on now to currencies the ruble lost against both the main currencies against the greenback and the euro and also when it comes to the euro dollar trading it's pretty much flat from us because an increase concerns that we will see more trouble in the euro zone with the vet prices there are as well and all the news we have a few that is asking late in. russian tycoons and their shareholders in. top aluminum producer and that is of course rue sol and there you can see there are pictures then the man involved i what's happening is that victor back so burke is launching legal action against owner whose are legs if i ask and that's all in

agreement with the model t. slater glencore set up to happen aluminum exports now that was i guess is the and now claims that smiling at his shareholder rights earlier he resigned from sauce chairman over a disagreement over the company's management and he says its policy brought in some of the crisis. from north capital says the timing of the dispute is particularly bad aloon prices decline rate due to so-called chinese fracture in additional pressure due to the conflicts too many conflicts actually with counterparts of food group oscar. much worse. shoot under different circumstances. all right and that's how business likes this hour we'll have more updates for you next hour i think you're in the sun all right looking forward to it kevin will be with you next hour for you crosstalk is coming

out in such as mala you've heard this from insurgency crew that's being provided by separatists that's out of the headlines and the short break. if it makes commission dates him believe me oh just having no maci execution date is enough for anybody to go through for life if. you know more than fifty

percent of the people who are actually in texas are not. why you know going to the north afterwards reading. this smack you know we execute our convicted capital murder we have the highest execution rate in america we're not afraid to do it we do it well this becomes a point we just becomes. oh i never knew the whole. i would get in there you're dead to be executed next week then as if you scare him on the dudes who know you can do this here want to be appearing with the in a manner of me stand i say it's time to go. and i would lead them into this for the death chamber. count stayed till after they were dead. one.
