certainly the splined hotel in touch with the hotel in torture will determine a good girl how would international flood to change every green lol he told in talk of. field back a report calls on washington to own up to the vietnam war legacy of a deadly chemical agent orange which it has denied for decades. some was silent that was how the maker of the first atomic bomb described its detonation sixty five years ago which kicked off the cold war arms race and changed global forever. seeing double the new hollywood film starring spitting image takes a humorous note could post nine eleven world. and
5:01 am
online twenty four hours a day you're watching r.t. 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 them to generations they find some of the images in this report disturbing. i was mourn with our too late and missing again 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
5:02 am
parents were not even born until after the vietnam war eighteen million gallons of toxic herbicide sprayed through jungles of south vietnam is still penetrating the d.n.a. of those being born today marion said the victim into still alive are suffering from illness a sniff of cancerous 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 refused 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 has nothing to do with agent orange i think that the u.s. government 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 then
5:03 am
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 accept they have to pay to come to say to form a new me instead of people not only if it now but also in they give it to state and also to the country that a career like today a shoe or a news event. 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
5:04 am
a dump them on center manufactured agent orange in these jungles. washington d.c. . from the campaign group vietnam agent orange relief says the use of chemicals during the vietnam war was responsible for an ongoing humanitarian crisis and that the vietnamese victims should continue to fight for justice and compensation. well unfortunately the chemical that keeps on killing they 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 pot of hot spot so that you can fish they fell they get in the water but the even more of way is that it gets transmitted genetically through the fatty tissue which an enormous number of years ago of course it took some time for people to figure out what was going on then the u.s. veterans had to fight for justice and compensation and they're still fighting in
5:05 am
other children and grandchildren beginning to fight and i think there's been a great amount of understanding in 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 that 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 friends have been taking the lead and making the statement that this is something to fight for for me to solve the problem we're trying to achieve justice for agent orange victims in vietnam a number 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 for the completely of them so we're here to talk to our legislators to tell them that this is an issue that the american veterans and the american people in
5:06 am
general care a lot about and that together we're going to make sure that our congress those 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 is 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 you indian film that starts. 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 charan singh and meets the people behind the film asks is the world ready for post nine eleven humor. this could well be the biggest scoop of my career interviewing. however this man does not have a twenty five million dollar reward on his head in fact he's not. in a bollywood. or without you lot in but just in case you think this is a movie glorifying a terrorist it is
5:07 am
a. biography it's a film which is on the. verge of in london happens we get it. and this is a fair number of feet below the. using it's not intended to in any way anybody from anybody is going to enjoy this from i can guarantee you that it's a comedy set in pakistan where the young journalist is fixated with going to america and he decided to stick it to get an interview with osama bin laden so he goes about creating a fake or. using a look alike. they had to keep the twenty five year old actor under wraps to prevent making the film. i had gone to shopping mall in noida to promote this film and there was a commotion there a crowd of more than a hundred people gathered so will fall in this to impede security might attack me
5:08 am
but nothing like that happened they wanted to shake my hand and take my autograph so i signed with love. who plays the journalist is a pakistani singer and this is his debut film how does it feel acting in an indian film set in pakistan. or would greatly appreciated be seen. people enjoy them. so i mean to see a pakistani in something very refreshing and new for them but the selling point of this movie is osama bin laden and you can't have an osama look alike without. so i asked to act the part in. america there will be retribution just doing 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
5:09 am
a beautification but actually it's quite irrelevant. i look back with 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 c r g. three ethnic sections arrested by french police have been charged with having links to a terran network russian officials say they belong to the group led by infamous terrorist leader. well for more let's cross live top european correspondent. norah what are the police saying about those charges and their links to a terrorist group. well kerry as you say there were three men charged actually four originally arrested but one of them was released the french all sources say that they are links to various terrorist organizations the russian side however. they
5:10 am
are specifically linked with the terrorist organization of. who is a notorious chechen north caucasus activist he has claimed responsibility for the moscow metro bombings in march of this year during the investigation obviously police raided the flats the apartment where these men were living they found firearms explosives and also extremely significantly maps with various potential targets marks on them this arrest was really significant as i see it in three main ways firstly of course because it makes the world a safer place it takes out of circulation people who french authorities say they have hard and fast evidence planning terrorist attacks secondly it was a good school ration between the russian authorities and the french authorities it was russia who saved the french police to the fact that they might have terror suspects terror activists living in this part of western france and then the french
5:11 am
police moved in and also because traditionally in the rest of the world. and north caucasus terrorists have been seen as separatists people who are fighting for the separation of that region from the rest of russia but increasingly that that view is falling out of fashion as arrests like this take place and it becomes clear that those who are threatening targets in russia are also threats to the rest of the world and of course this isn't the first time that russian potential russian attackers have been arrested in the european union in fact in april in lithuania a twenty year old woman was arrested and she pleaded guilty of planning a terror attack. she said was to go to chechnya. and then blow herself up in a public place and then as another poster of this international network the people who were conspiring with her they were going to help her travel and when she got
5:12 am
there they were arrested in russia so again part of this international chain that we see forming which is quite significant for russia's attempts to have it recognized as the global threat of terror yes you mention a threat to russia what is the significance of this role in terror attacks in the caucuses in particular. well he's one of the most infamous and significant north caucasus terrorists who is still at large in fact a lot of the others have been arrested already he's the leader of what he calls the caucasus emirate the self-proclaimed. they of course claimed responsibility for the explosions on the mosque in march this year that we all remember so well forty people were killed in the series of two explosions and more than one hundred people were wounded so he says that he was responsible for that officials say that responsible for many other attacks as well he's been active all the way through
5:13 am
since the ninety's now we're not suggesting for a second that one of those arrested in france was himself but merely that these people were linked with him and that this provides potentially a view into what is seen as one of the most notorious terrorist networks still operating in the north caucasus region. ok our correspondent nor thank you for that . well on the surface it appears to be a world of glamorous events and beautiful people but in reality it carries a reputation of sexual abuse and violence. escort agencies increase in popularity so do the warnings from women's rights activists in terms of response in just a few minutes time. it was an event that would mark the beginning of the atomic age sixty five years ago a test code named trinity would see the u.s.

win the race to produce a nuclear weapon america spent the modern day equivalent to more than twenty billion dollars trying to beat the scientific efforts of its rival parties to expose the remaining relics of the u.s.s.r. was push for tonic supremacy. it was the culmination of the manhattan project the first american nuclear explosive device nicknamed the gadget went off in new mexico just weeks before devastating the japanese city of hiroshima many including the godfather of the atomic bomb j. robert oppenheimer were terrified by the power of the deadly mushroom cloud people . cried. people were. the echo of that blast carried far beyond the atlantic and the soviet union experiments with nuclear energy were on the way too but just like the us and this

research institute on the black sea coast the main roles were played by jurymen scientists. this used to be a top secret nuclear facility but aside from these lions the entrance was guarded by soviet soldiers the lab will see them deep inside a posse a subtropical paradise. three hundred germans top nuclear physicists their assistants family members and even personal chefs were brought to this clue's compound and up cause by the order of joseph stalin in one nine hundred forty five the nazis were famous for their highly developed nuclear research programs so after world war two moved german physics and chemistry professors at almost no other option but to work for either moscow or washington if fierce competition between the us the saw in america to get hold of nuclear weapons was on and even though the us were the first to successfully carry out a nuclear test their rivals caught up pretty quickly chess if you had to get the.
5:16 am
germans here thoroughly analyzed the us media reports about the blast even from there were able to say what had to be done next but. oleksandr church is a veteran of the sukhumi research institute he says many people here remember the time the german successfully accomplished their mission and were let go by the soviet authorities in the nine hundred fifty s. he's showing us the four thousand book library with rare physics digests and german the office where head professor used to work and the equipment left for russian scientists. this machine is called the spectral brush it's a high definition device a very precise one even when the germans left are saying to us used to get great results with this equipment. but the rest of the building where german physicists used to work on the soviet a bomb is totally deserve it all lines are disconnected and nowadays people rarely

visit these dark hole ways sixty years after the beginning of the nuclear era this . hidden among the bamboo trees still holds many secrets and the story of german scientists behind the soviet union's very own project manhattan is just one of them . across the. escort agencies popular among wealthy russians have come under attack by activists claiming the business is dangerous for the women involved they believe the women who are paid to mix in high society often face sexual abuse violence. single and in need of beautiful company events you need to attend as a couple but you don't have your plus one there are people willing to help with that the beauty of the escort business is they provide you with a choice of glamorous educated multilingual women will be more than happy to grace your side at any important event but many believe this business is not just skin
5:18 am
deep. the girls who are engaged in this so-called escort services get sexually abused a lot more often than prostitutes because no one tells them they will have to perform sexual favors or who they will be passed on to sometimes the client who books and escort will simply bring the girl to his own clients who abuse her. 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 i'll sit next to look as. we make and we show them a lot of girls are educated 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
5:19 am
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. a russian newspaper journalist went undercover for six months as an escort what she saw certainly wasn't the fairy tale promised in that. when i was working as an escort i got invited to an interview with two very trained influential man this was pretty normal thing so i wasn't scared but when the men came out to do we need kid i got worried and don't have a sudden he grabbed me and trying to force me to perform a sexual act a bit him and jumped off a balcony to ski and there scored agency owner called me and started screaming at me calling me
5:20 am
a fat ruining our engine says relations with such an important client. was lucky others weren't. there. they never talk about old 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 they're unpleasant accident can happen like a hit and run boom and your dad. according to complain is the one thing these girls can not afford to do. i remember a girl who told the truth about her life in a t.v. interview about how they get raped beaten forced to hand over all their money and the people that added to 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

least over one hundred years have perfect. economic relations three years ago simmons was convicted of a reuters two with lucrative contracts to brush up today's make a deal with the back of the close to nil for between the leaders of the two states business leaders see a shift to more legitimate ways of avoiding 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 talking about foreign investors bribery let's say more and more all of it is being done at this time at all it's a radical difference from just a few years ago when brushes leadership a bit it was impossible to do business with back handers summits like the one here in the your rules are hoping russia to should soviet image that applies not just to
5:24 am
the products but to the way it goes about producing them to the business thought see you can see. the main purpose petroleum exporters has raised its forecast for russian oil production in twenty ten access to export and internal supplies of russian crude is expected to everett around ten million barrels a day organizations says there is an increasing demand for oil from countries like russia in particular this relates to the new russian blood supply from east siberia to asia russian kurds becoming more attractive in the markets putting pressure on demand for opec oil the oil cartel expects global to march to grow on one cent next year. and a look at markets now stocks in the u.k. are on the rise for the first time in three days they have been told by positive news from the gulf of mexico says it has finally managed to clock its leaking oil well least on a temporary basis company's shares have shot up four percent of news and german dax

is just. being in the plot itself. and in russia they are chance in the my success in the red among the biggest losers on the r.t.s. thoughtful gift to gus and. big stage companies and rush on not coming up with enough in the face of products that they were to call the medical director of prize waterhouse coopers center of innovation. all correspondent. up with him at the international forum of industry and innovation in the urals. we interviewed that some one hundred of the largest companies and russia so it wasn't a small or perhaps more innovative start ups but it's a large sum of the largest one billion dollars minimum size though a forty percent ever produced 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
5:26 am
so when we looked at. who was actually doing that and what were the companies were 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. and russian companies that sell in the international markets were more likely to be innovating. like russian companies a cell 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 potato crop and them all still seem a lot to cut it for now if they come back later russia has to have patience because all of these very successful regions they didn't it wasn't like overnight they became huge success so it was sometimes decades at least a decade in almost everything 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
5:27 am
sort of look at trends around science and innovation that are still at sort of a pretty competitive love where you can bring multinational companies together with russian scientists and engineers and focus on solving major problems. the year is losing its popularity in russia while the dollar is becoming more attractive to russia central banks us the amount of euro by the citizens has increased by nine percent in may to the highest level since two thousand and four when while the sales of dollars declined by eight by eight percent on the supply of debt crisis in europe and save most russians still prefer saving in little bits. that's all from the business team you can always have more news small websites archie dot com slash business.
