time in the east of the country. next the formula one grand prix is back in russia after a hundred years of nothing and i'm quite a fan i have to admit so i headed down to the new racetrack in the olympic resort town of sochi to see if everything is up to speed. the race is on for the southern resort of sochi the bids to transform itself from a limper coast into the venue for this year's russian drum. this is organizers hope it will look for now though the reality is quite different the main grandstand still under construction and the track still being late but the saudi team are confident their circuit will be both on time and world class is going to be fine i think most most f one circuits are similar in the sense of very very kind of last minute delivery i think is going to be quite challenging for a lot of drivers we have a couple of very interesting turns here which i think would be challenging to.
6:24 pm
show some strengths of the drivers in a different way has not been easy for the organizers who are tasked with constructing a track that could weave its way intricately through sort she's a limping village and at high speed. so to make that happen they drafted in one of the best in the business german track guru hand until care who came up with this design and the early feedbacks to be believed seems a tilt didn't disappoint behind me you'll see the fast this part of the course just imagine twenty two drivers racing down here at three hundred twenty kilometers an hour their top speed and then they break sharply for this turn to the tightest part of the course just thirty metres from side to side just imagine the bottleneck in the potential problems they all try to squeeze through here. that was battled through here they pick up speed up towards three hundred kilometers an hour if they sweep their way around this majestic picturesque bend take them around battle plaza
6:25 pm
and back into the more recognizable surroundings of the olympic village we took the chance to test out the track ourselves but we were the only ones the formula one road show served as a test drive for the big event while also giving russians a tantalizing taste of big. glitz and the glamour that lie ahead with the final layer of the trunk to be laid in august it seems that for organizes the finish line is literally in sight the mine will be the case in the future therefore in chief bernie ecclestone keen on turning the russian groom into a night race does what mr ecclestone sincerely wants this is a beautiful idea the front of this year race starts at three pm and it will be a race but for the next years i'm sure that the one year of such a grand prix will be of the late race nine today though it's unlikely to matter too much to the officials in sochi he won the bid to make the city a global sporting mecca but no this is one race that's only just begun reporting
6:26 pm
from sochi this is neil harvey farty. do stay with us here on international up next for you a tight knit community of people living in tents in the u.s. struggling to keep shelter above their heads and if you're watching as in the u.k. something slightly different sputnik with george galloway join. have you ever heard the expression pleasantly surprised or that is how i felt when i heard that the supreme court of the united states had ruled that digital information on cell phones of rest of people cannot be seized without a warrant finally the american people catch a break in a court decision this ruling is linked to the two cases in which the police used information on a suspect telephone to press for further charges against them i think that's the most important aspect of this decision is the press that it sets the court said
6:27 pm
that just because a cell phone is in a suspects hand it does not make the information on it any less worthy of protection for which the founding fathers fought so could we extend this to say something like just because i have a telephone or computer that doesn't make the information on them unworthy of protection from the n.s.a. or the privacy invaders the thing is that the supreme court to see. is a good start but the police using your cell phone against you upon arrest is just the tip of the privacy destruction iceberg if the members of the highest court in land really do feel that the founding fathers fought to protect our privacy then they have a lot of paperwork and court decisions ahead of them for stuart but that's just my opinion. thanks rather terrorism the nature of terrorism is becoming increasingly internationalized a local governments which may be the case yeah in afghanistan have very limited and military tell that increasingly globalized spread one how do you really strike
6:28 pm
a balance here and the father has been helped by not fighting drugs he was living in the plot stuff if we all start for fighting proxy rather than a lot of time when there would be peace if you tried to help them but it definitely . can become an example of this but success. on the lake would like to do jersey usa what was going on in this town is really unique in that there's a major what we call gentrification one group of people is moving into the town
6:29 pm
and getting the lion's share of the housing and what it is is this new community is going in there they're buying up the homes but they're buying it up with the recycled taxpayer dollars see the ten it belongs to this group but also the landlord belongs to this group also so. the welfare money that goes to a pay for their apartment goes back to the landlord in a same group so that money stays within their community and it's just recycle and so what what's happening here is they're buying up the rest of the community with tax taxpayer dollars and so basically what it is is the person living in a home is paying taxes he's paying for his home to be bought up by this new group. this is you know it's just not right it's just wrong and the the politicians are allowing it because the new population has a voting bloc and they vote as one.
