12:05 pm
a 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 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

show called. the new bollywood comedy has been banned in pakistan because it features in a summer been large look alike the film is released on friday in asia and europe but pakistani censors are worried the comic for trail of the world's most wanted man could trigger a terrorist attacks our teams cut and signal to the people behind the indian film and asks if the world's 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 osama bin laden but an actor in a bollywood for their new bin ladin or without you lot in but just in case you
12:08 pm
think this is a movie glorifying a terrorist it is a general sort of. biography it's a film which is on the post nine eleven world of which bin laden happens to be a very very important character and this is a fair number of feet bin laden and that's how he using it's not intended to vote offensive in any way and anybody from anybody is going to enjoy this from i can guarantee you that it's american comedy set in pakistan where the young journalist is fixated with going to america and he decided to stick it to get there is an interview with osama bin laden so he goes about creating a fake or. using the looking like. 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 we were falling in this time pete i was scared can

12:10 pm
a good film it will definitely like it mind my students to come and watch it and they will like it there's nothing here that will incite people to smile and. the selling point of this film is. but it's very tongue in cheek. to act the part. i challenge you america there will be retribution holding just an 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 glorification of terrorists but actually it's quite irrelevant subtile in the way pakistanis and muslims are looked at 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 will probably be a good sense of humor to appreciate the message got and seeing r.t. . the mongolian president said a dive into the world's deepest lake aboard

12:25 pm
the nature of the companies 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 innovative. 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's potential to build it in the take them also seem a lot to cut it for and definitely come back later russia has to have patience because all of these very successful regions they didn't it wasn't like overnight that they became a huge success so it was sometimes decades at least a decade and almost every day 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 the trends around science and innovation that are still sort of
