the heart of the russian capital this is our team welcome the u.s. house of representatives has convened for a third time to discuss the impact of the deadly chemical agent orange during the vietnam war while the effects are still being felt to this day washington insists there is no evidence to link it to illnesses that continue to afflict native generations you may find some of the images in this report disturbing. i was born with and with too late and missing a hand it is because of america's chemical war against her people in the jungles of vietnam that has left tran in these conditions she is a victim of agent orange second generation tran is one of many her story represents millions living in the shadows of a lasting legacy. these kids will never live

a normal life their deformities physical signs of human decay and although their parents were not even born until after the vietnam war eighteen million gallons of the toxic herbicides sprayed through the jungles of south vietnam is still penetrating the d.n.a. of those being born today manmade marion said the baked into still alive are suffering. illness of cancers the u.s. government has acknowledged agent orange is directly connected to the health ailments and defects that continue to plague the lives of vietnam war veterans for generations to come but the u.s. has worst used to make the same length for the millions of the enemies of war victims whose lives have been devastated as a result of agent orange they say that it has nothing to do with agent orange. i think that the u.s. for a minute has the reason to deny it. which is why delegations are here in washington following a report issued by lawmakers scientists and doctors calling on the u.s.

government to own up to its agent orange legacy in vietnam today also people will stand me government records show nearly ninety five percent of all u.s. agent orange related aid is committed to efforts to contain and remove dioxin contamination we asked the justice for all the victims those fighting for justice in the case of vietnamese agent orange victims want the physical and psychological damages to be acknowledged if they etc they have to pay to come to state for maimie and so people. now also in the united states and also to the country career a. new scene in. the dark legacy left behind by the u.s. in vietnam is one with millions of human faces their struggle three decades in the making will not end with money from the u.s.

government but it could ease the pain the u.s. has been ignoring since it dumped a month sent to manufactured agent orange in these jungles. washington d.c. . from the campaign group vietnam agent orange reef so is the use of chemicals during the vietnam war was responsible for an ongoing monetary crisis and that vietnamese victims should continue to fight for justice and compensation well dioxin is unfortunately the chemical that keeps on killing their oxen is probably the most toxic substance known to science and so there's a number of ways that people have young people who weren't even born during the war have been affected one is they may live in a park the cops part so that you can fish they thought well they get in the water but the even more common way is that it gets transmitted genetically through the fatty tissue with a number of years ago of course it took some time for people to figure out what was going on then the u.s.

for trans had to fight for justice in compensation and they're still fighting in other children and grandchildren beginning to fight and i think there's been a great amount of understanding and mutual assistance and sympathy between the u.s. what was exposed and the vietnamese people exposed so we just sent a veterans delegation there's been a lot of projects going back and forth and i think for the sort of humanitarian toll of the fact that the american public health association in two thousand and seven passed a policy statement saying this is a public health crisis that lawmakers are going to vietnam church people are going to vietnam veterans have been going for a long time that principle. taking the lead and making a statement that this is something the fact we have to solve the other we're trying to achieve justice for agent orange victims in vietnam clean up of the land systems for the children and grandchildren of u.s. vets still suffering from agent orange and for the forgotten population the vietnamese american kids and grandkids whose parents fought on the u.s. side but have been completely abandoned so we're here to talk to our legislators to

tell them that this is an issue that the american veterans from the american people in general care a lot about and that together we're going to make sure that our congress does the right thing and we've got indications on this trip that they're very interested and there's a lot of willing to say yes you know we've this happened we've played a part and now we should do the right thing and make it you know make it right. pakistan has banned new indian film that stars in a song i've been looking like the country's censor board has objected to the portrayal of the world's most wanted man saying it could trigger a terrorist attack ati's current seeing the people behind the film and asks is the world ready for post nine eleven humor. this could well be the biggest scoop of my career interviewing the world's most wanted terrorist however this man does not have a twenty five million dollar reward on his head in fact he's not bin ladin but an actor in a bollywood for any bin ladin or without you lot in but just in case you think this

is a movie glorifying a terrorist it is a journey sort of film. biography it's a film which is on the board. and happens we get it. this is a fair number of feet below the deep hole using it it's not insensitive or offensive in any way and anybody from any but of the world is going to enjoy this from i can get into that it's american comedy set in pakistan where the young journalist is fixated with going to america and you decide to stick it to get this is an interview. bin laden so he goes about creating a fake or. using a look alike. they had to keep the twenty five year old back under wraps to prevent stampede spies making the film. i had gone to shopping mall in noida to promote this film and there was a commotion there get a crowd of more than a hundred people gathered so will fall in this time i was scared can wait to talk

to me nothing like it happened they wanted to shake my hand and take my autograph so i signed with someone. who plays the journalist is a pakistani singer and this is deb you film how does it feel acting in an indian film set in pakistan in pakistan bollywood films greatly appreciated they are seen . people enjoy them. so i mean to see a pakistani. something very refreshing and new for them so they are very. good to hear back home the people are very excited to see the movie that let's see how it's going to be like you have bollywood movie box any playing in it and all of a bug funny is about box and certain lot of interesting factors. but the selling point of this movie is osama bin laden and you can't have an osama lookalike without a line so i asked the woman to act the part. america

there will be retribution all the evil actions you have committed in the countries like iraq and afghanistan so these you will have to pay a heavy price. when i first heard about this film i thought it was going to be a beautification but actually it's quite irrelevant to. the suspicion in the west today and how the media could be fooled into believing something that doesn't exist i think this film could do well in south asia but western audiences would probably be a good sense of humor to appreciate the message got and see r.d. . now on the surface it appears to be a world of events and beautiful people but in reality it carries a reputation of sexual prominence. agencies increasing popularity so do the warnings for women's rights activists more details from our correspondent in just a few minutes time. water and in the air rushes emergencies ministry's

escort will simply bring the girl to use own clients who would be using or. however women who are employed by escort services seem keen to disprove this notion the limit is an escort and she does not worry about her safety. so. we make clients we show them muska a lie girls are actually came attractive and teligent and people enjoy our company but that hasn't been a time when i felt scared or concerned about my safety lines up and if the girl feels unsafe she can always leave some not. still she says she wouldn't tell her boyfriend about her chosen profession because too often it is confused with prostitution and many say with good reason. all kinds of support for business meetings claims the website of one escort agency but the pictures that accompany the statement certainly don't show any support and hint at

a very illegal business some believe this business can even get you killed it us rather think over a russian newspaper journalist went undercover for six months as an escort what she saw certainly wasn't the fairy tale promised in the ads. when i was working as an escort i got invited to name to you two very trendy influential man this was pretty normal thing so i wasn't scared but when the man came out to do we need kid i got worried and those sudden he grabbed me and tried to force me to perform a sexual act a bit him and jumped off a balcony to ski and there's court agency owner called me and started screaming at me calling me f.n. for ruining our engine says relations with such an important client. you know i was lucky others weren't the other their government is let us down that they never talk about what they've gone through these girls only when they get really drunk the lucky ones simply get raped and like you once end up in hospital and they never

complain because if you do if you aren't pleasant accident like a hit and run and your dad. according to the complaint is the one thing these girls cannot afford to do. in the store i remember a girl who told the truth about her life in a t.v. interview about how they get raped me turn forced to hand over all their money and the people that edited the documentary didn't change her voice or cover her face or anything a few days after the documentary aired she was found killed. so the glamour and the money are very real but the danger is even more so i guess readers are of r t moscow. record holder whether left people across russia sizzling could be the hottest country for over a century but as many flocked to water to put off his ministry is also reporting

a dramatic increase in number of people drowning last week a week before drown himself. this will say alcohol and threatening. to quit school is lethal combination. austria has deployed. boats to deal with these things hot weather has also sparked many five. hundred daily kos the. next. hello and a very warm welcome to the program time for the business update engineering giant siemens has put flash on the bones of russia's more denies ation drive after a huge deal to provide the country with state of the art technology trains and white turban tar pines present richmond but if an chancellor angela merkel noted in yet it didn't work that business was booming between the two countries to help.

of the two states business leaders say a shift to more legitimate ways of earning influence it's very hard for anybody to engage in bribery nowadays this might take more time and more resources on the other side in order to have success but i would assume that they're talking about foreign investors bribery let's same diet more and more all out if it is being done at this time at all it's a radical did. from just a few years ago when russia's leadership would be to do it was impossible to do business with but condos summits like the one here in the urals are hoping russia to should its soviet image that applies not just to the products but to the way it goes about producing them to. business because the remembered. main group of petroleum exporters has improved its for const for russia's oil supply for twenty ten opec says the export and internal suppliers of russian crude is expected

to everett's round ten million barrels a day organization says there is an increasing demand for oil from non opec countries like russia in particular this relates to the new russian supplied from east siberia to asia the russian courage is becoming more attractive in the market but pressure on demand for opec oil the oil cartel expects global demand will grow around one percent next year. let's check out the equity markets to asia where they're trading in the red as a drop in that spectrum output fueled concerns of the pace of recovery in the world's biggest economy and ek is down more than three percent and the hang seng is flat. and here in russia the r.t.s. has started friday is trading session in the black slightly recovering from fancies losses so who have to guess credit to lose more than two percent from the start of the trading session on the r.t.s. and formulas down the one percent from isis will open in a few minutes. big stage owned companies in russia are not coming up with enough

innovative products that's the verdict of the managing director of price waterhouse coopers center of innovation. of correspondent of course with him at an international forum of industry and innovation in the world. we interviewed that some one hundred of the largest companies in russia so it wasn't the smaller perhaps more innovative startups but it's a large sum of the largest one billion dollars minimum size no a forty percent of our produce innovative new product over the last two years so the good news is that that's forty percent the bad news is over a two year period for large companies it really should be closer to ninety percent so when we looked at. who was actually doing that and what were the companies one of the nature of the companies that were doing more innovating in the major companies that were companies that were subsidiaries of international organizations were more likely to be innovating. russian companies that sell in the international

markets are more likely to be innovating. like russian companies or sell just domestically or had state ownership. were less likely to innovate so there's some sense there about what is what is what drives innovation do you believe in russia potential to build it in the paper copy them also seem a lot to cover for now in the coming that like russia has to have patience because all of these very successful regions they didn't it wasn't like overnight they became a huge success so it was sometimes decades at least a decade and almost every now and then russia because they need to be patient they should really look a little beyond you know what's the big hot new thing now or in the next year but sort of look at trends around science and innovation that are still at sort of the pretty competitive level where you can bring multinational companies together with russian scientists and engineers and focus on solving major problems. the
