welcome this is our team our names kevin zero in our top story the eleven pm live from moscow has condemned vick to boot sentencing in the united states is unacceptable and politically motivated russia's foreign minister said the country will help to to ensure his rights are protected the russian businessman was convicted of conspiring to sell weapons to terrorists and kill americans are things more important eyes in new york. 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 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 boot the us 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 good 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 is saying is the truth. and he expected this because i believe the judge is very intelligent very professional it's an acknowledgment of the invalidity of the accusations made by the prosecutors i think if the judge was much constrained by

the rule she would have chosen to close the case. and mr booth in a recent interview said he's the victim of a us 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. winning mr gold has maintained his innocence he continues to do so because. first of all we don't want to take revenge we just want to help that to boot would have you think about it and whatever you suspected he did not deserve being sentenced to twenty five years in jail once again i stress we're not seeking revenge or any cost but i want to ensure the rights of our citizens are upheld we will be supporting the appeal of planning and we will be fighting for his return to russia because we have legal instruments for

that with the us who was arrested in thailand in a sting operation in march two thousand and eight dollar and his arrest 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 the 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 he will recommend that mr bush remains in the person's general population for now the russian citizen has got one that some of the security forces in brooklyn reporting from in homs federal courthouse moreno want on arts. and boots not the only foreign aide to enjoy a high pressure extradition to the states britain is also handed over citizen the euro and pager about said that when someone sent to the united states it's almost

impossible to escape the clutches of the american legal system. and there maybe some places where it's it's probably so if somebody is organized crime is the only route getting out but i think has to be created with great caution and what we also have been 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 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 kind of guilt very often in order to get a lesser sentence and then you know without face longer even me they would otherwise in america's barbaric prison system who could resist that kind of pressure if they were arrested and taken to the u.s. you know it's it's an unbelievable pressure on people and the things that you know our court we should be protecting our own people from not surrendering people unless we think there's a cast iron case against them that they should have to answer in

a foreign country. 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 assad said he's implementing the un backed peace plan by withdrawing his military from certain areas the us later state will go raises the possibility of further steps if syria doesn't comply negotiators have been deployed ahead of an observer mission russia is warning other nations arming the rebels because it could escalate the crisis jacob walberg of the future of freedom foundation told the syria's opposition to nato want regime change not a ceasefire. if you have a cease fire where the rebels are under their cease fire and say ok we're we're in we're no longer in gauging the 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 the u.s. for example is pressuring the assad regime to relinquish power they're doing it under this aura of democracy in freedom well this is just hypocrisy we know that the u.s. loves dictatorships they just sent one point three billion dollars to the egyptian 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 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 in the u.s. will be satisfied but make no mistake about it is not some glorious cars on the part of the west you know and start and a pro freedom pro democracy regime this is about empire isn't always lives still

ahead for this hour an arty don't care of our time presence of california valley against wind turbines they say a damaging the environment in danger and wildlife. last month's deadly shooting rampage by french one of algerian descent interludes reignited the debate about immigration and radical islam in the e.u. presidential hopefuls in france jumped on to the story in a bid to score political points ahead of the vote later this month however it's the focus that's made the country's muslims feel increasingly isolated to test for a set of explains. this may be a film about the struggle to live in the french suburbs but this. is reality. a shooting of seven people had to lose by a frenchman of algeria and dissent is the latest incident to intensify an already heated debate our security immigration and it degrades ship in

a country with the largest muslim population in europe. firstly i must say this is an isolated case 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 friends 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 taken seriously the truth when young people apply for jobs and the same reason marries and have the suburban address it causes many problems some employers time to favor people from central paris or sometimes she says favor a more french name and therein lies the problem of french republics values of

liberty equality and fraternity seem to exclude those living on the periphery like this parisian suburb of mont there where we chanced upon a lone man in protest she didn't need i claim the right to live like everyone else if you earn between one thousand and thirteen hundred urals you live in as best as you live in the middle of electromagnetic waves with leaves in unsanitary conditions just five minutes from posh areas like the. people die a year in total indifference i see no no i denounce that fact and france will have a revolt there's a french saying to describe the country today losing translated as a france and moving up to speeds of the young people who find themselves stuck on the slower moving 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 this.

not only on people but there are those who create heroes like robin hood it's the likes of osama bin laden or other so-called leaders who create a.d.'s there's a new generation that us hungry in business and aggressive it creates a conflict on the internet and easy to access information freely and easily and the worst is ignorance that is reinforced by that internet this is a huge danger to the u.s. in response politicians bombard the public with proposals for even more policies like policing internet behavior we do see the number of new immigrants or stripping some of their citizenship which critics say are hall of presidents so cozy has been really trying to expose the line of the right wing. nationalist party here as well . you know ways attacking immigrants talking about how we making issues coverings of muslim girls we used to be a 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. then the pre-election favor president sarkozy even threatened to pull out of the use of free zone but political science professor believes it's a no more than a desperate attempt to win over votes. so because he says one thing one day he runs out of different hair the next day. when it's on to our chang and he said there would be strict rules but i don't think they should be taken seriously at first a lot of the stuff that is announced could not be implemented because all the other your influences is strange appeal to people who focus on immigration and so once you have used playing games with the butt hireable murder that took place in into lose a few weeks ago. here is as it stops immigration so our first is not doing

it second no one in europe could grieve a to a drastic change of shang and she rhetoric for a candidate who's basically and seems to be losing right now. the u.s. defense department sighing robotic warfare as we report on line of artsy pentagon plans to create a humanoid robot that could fight on the battlefield drive a vehicle and perform repairs we hear you want to find out more it's on our web site also the u.s. coast guard opened fire on this deserted japanese ship it's been drifting in the pacific ocean since last year's tsunami that was reported on but notice he was a victim thing on a phone far more it's on our you tube page. these are the images. from the street and headed that. chunk operations are all today.

down the official auntie application your phone or my pod touch from the accuser. on the. video on demand. among the old girls and or a sense feeds now in the palm of your. com posen is marking twenty years since the start of one of the bloodiest conflicts of the past century that left almost one hundred thousand dead in the capital sarajevo and all played in front of thousands of and the red chairs one for every person killed in the city the war resulted from the breakup of yugoslavia and so violent division among the bosnian serbs croats and muslims and nato eventually intervening was talk about this little guy was surge a terrific of it she's the foreign affairs editor of commerce magazine joining us

from chicago there very good evening thanks for being on r.t. . twenty years on a very good time to look back on this conflict divided the nation what kind of bosnia as it left today do you think. not very different to what happened twenty years ago because b. i think divisions are still in place for the same dynamics of interethnic are still. mistrust. fundamental like oh. we lost twenty years ago in fact i would say that. bosnia by virtue of being the microcosm of yugoslavia has fallen victim to the same symmetry fogel tendencies that broke it was. so tense to keep bosnia together artificial. by the dayton good think it was will succeed reza long as those powers that are interested in remaining in

gauged in the balkans but bosnia is as much an absurdity to day as yugoslavia was twenty years ago of course a lot of the time to make his first combat operation what kind of president did the pozner war set for the alliance operates in foreign countries. well first of all it was the united states that sabotaged european efforts to reach an agreement in bosnia because as richard holbrooke late unlamented guru of american foreign policy under clinton declared we are engaged again and we will prove that we are being the indispensable nation and the notion of the nice transitional nation that's also madeline albright structuring so peace efforts such as the. rest will all go and play in the spring of ninety

three or zero and stoltenberg in december of the same year couldn't succeed present as the united states europeans the last without them there can be no peace and at the same time the u.s. respects the scale arming the muslims even helping be rainy its supply arms the muslim side like basically. because the clinton administration hoped that it could do a few brownie points around the islamic world by being for the bosnian muslims but it didn't really work the secondary objective was we conserve b.s. so as to insert the us scene friends into costs into what we would be in in the view of course. this war is still going on so what we're looking at

is the bosnian tragedy that was the right because the. tragedy didn't serve nobody's geo political purpose at all it is such a complicated story and you've got very strong feelings on it let's try to move on with about thirty seconds or so i want to talk about the nato peacekeepers that remain there to this day how do you view their presence necessary or divisive. it is superfluous because seventeen years after the date it was near is not capable of surviving. no peacekeepers will help in years to years over a hundred years hence. thank you very much for your thoughts thanks we have a program so your trip of age the foreign affairs editor of chronicles magazine. the bringing up to date now with some world news making headlines this is footage

of the immediate aftermath of when a u.s. navy fighter jet crashed into an apartment complex in the state of virginia. the two pilots dump fuel before their jet could safely before their f. eighteen hornet plowed in for a building which is thought to have minimized the fire which then followed it will still very severe you can see several people in hospital they inhale smoke now the search is underway to see if anyone was inside that the time of the plane hit dramatic pictures for updates and video coverage of the crash but watty dot com. egypt pre-election battles are heating up with thousands take into cairo's tahrir square in support of an ultra conservative is when this presidential candidate as you know who is male could be barred from running vote because his mother was once an american citizen an accusation he says is part of a plot against him this is qualification would leave the muslim brotherhood without a main rival. president of malawi has died according to his doctors and ministers

but there's no official confirmation now almost twenty four hours on state t.v. still says he was transferred to south africa for treatment and if it's confirmed it's feared that there could be a power struggle in a nation already racked by social unrest allow is one of the world's poorest countries with people living on less than a dollar a day. barley's rebels have declared independence for a large desert region in the north earlier captured three key towns during the day and that was caused by a coup in the south of the african union says this declaration is null and void the regs of long complained about the treatment by the government but the driver separations suspected of a drive by al-qaeda now later on more comment on this on our channel people of this crosstalk gas discussed whether the war in libya anything to do with ali who we're witnessing. proulx for the particular timing and the intensity of this rebellion this rebellion was planned before. before the uprising goes in before nato

intervention in libya the military plans had been laid by. who was in libya at the time but he had been planning this from two thousand and nine onward so i i think that the fall of gadhafi. sped up the rebellion the time of the rebellion and possibly gotten more arms but i don't think that this is a direct consequence i think. peter when you think about that in washington feet grievances. can be of the torah those are all ongoing problems but certainly there was a new employee to sport with such why the m.l.o. is military commander jim is was a four hour colonel in the libyan army. just reminded what crosstalk it's time on this channel a group of california and sort of spin right now over how the golden state's going

green these days communities say they're blighted by government subsidize wind farms which are damaging the environment and reward life he's been coaching ever reports of what it's like living in the shadow of these giant generators. vibration in the east and flushing grants troops at night not exactly environmentally friendly see those living right next to these little tainting giants are all completely paid by taxpayers subsidies clearly rate increases it's a complete corruption by our politicians and it relates to restart now robert moran and his wife are running you can paint and start energy companies building the windmills even closer to his home. 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's going to

rebalance leaf proposed turbines 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 lobbyist have promoted it as the green am clean but for many who live directly with the impacts 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 my dil. x. when a company executive believes the industry should be left to find its own place in the field instead of encouraging companies only interested in the government's hand that we should not subsidize where anderson for energy that is the wrong way to

develop or all the energy. we should treat we're new war energy just the same way we treat electricity from any other source whether it's coal or nuclear. or oil the frenzy of when the mill building during the winter rush didn't just ruined 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 air for a year it seems the green and clean future has generated little more than brute kill and a huge amount of animosity when you no question warranty reporting from california . ok all right let's check out. this. evening so the last few hours trading. begins but not much trading because of the

still really good water near it but you're with me yes that's right kevin in fact normally this is the time when the u.s. markets would be trading but of course that isn't the case in fact the only markets which were trading say were as you mentioned the russian ones as well as the nikkei in japan but let's take a look at the russian markets and what you see right now is the closing picture as you can see both yards yes and the my side's close over one and a half percent so in the right there and let's take a look at the individual share moves on the my sites one of the things i was backing investors there was the ministry for economic development saying that they slightly lowered the forecast for g.d.p. growth this year and as you can see most of the blue chips were in the red gas from lost over two percent and what we know about the companies that has struck a deal to increase its presence in the vietnam shelf partly out of course and help investors there boost the stocks now moving on his world bank that lost over one and a half percent and we moved past year looking up because if we can switch back to

the stocks and i have a look at the further lines there now basically we had a bank that retreated and that's after a report of sixteen percent increase in net profit for the first quarter of two thousand and twelve that's according to russian accounting standards we're still seeing the currencies i'll get to that after i mentioned earlier why that was down and that was because it has come production by twenty seven percent in the first quarter and that was because of lower demand and now i can tell you about the currencies which you've been looking out for a while and now obviously the dollar and the euro is currently trading flat and that's amid increasing concerns over the crisis in the euro zone now when it comes to the ruble it's been losing against both major currencies now if we move on. other news there is a few that's escalating between their shareholders of the world's top aluminum producer. and we're talking about a feud between superman subrata and business titans you can see them right there

one is victor bracks the burke who is launching legal action against broussard's may now and that's our lead and that's often agreements with commodities trader glencore to sell up to half of those are selling them exports now that's a word of was against is the ill and now claims it's violated his shareholder rights earlier he resigned as was australian over disagreements with the company's management and he says it's a policy problem into a deeper crisis. given misspoke earlier from north capital says the timing of this is particularly bad. decline rate due to local chaney's factor in additional pressure due to conflicts too many conflicts actually with contra percival it grew proscar. much worse. under different circumstances. all right kevin moore that said from the business day of the day that we can we can finally
