ranging from murder and kidnapping to extortion participating in terrorists and extremists to these he is believed by the russian prosecutors to one of those times the terrible moscow theater hostage situation and a job or two thousand into the so called the office theater siege hundreds of people injured or killed in the top aeration. and of course many other terrorist activities including under-estimate aster minded keep on going on rice in the russian paula tal pompousness region leading the republic of chechnya me this is still is occurring if there is justice in law in the world's a kind of should be handed over to russia and he should be punished by law he's wanted for all kidnappings and murders i'm sure that will make the right decision bearing in mind the relations between moscow and more still and those are guys will get well he deserves russian prosecutors believe that the trial is exactly what
10:08 am
it's up by it deserves but going on really is experience the fact that they've been wanting without any success to try them for nearly a decade it is too soon to say whether this trial will ever take place. now fred we're a journalist from the christian science monitor says the political situation in poland will not allow extradition to russia. i'm pretty much sure that they will not extradite him to russia you know. this is a situation where the poles are fulfilling their international obligations by executing this war it. but extradition is another matter and i don't think there are very many european countries that that would under the present circumstances extradite him or a lot of other people back to russia poland particularly among european countries is a place where it would be politically impossible i mean it would be politically impossible
10:09 am
for any government polish government to to actually send him back to russia. poland may appear reluctant to actually. have but the new woman relations between the two countries do often moscow open this case now that's according to pick that linnik editor in chief of the russian newspaper. given the fact that russia has treated poland there respectfully. some polish ones i would say like the cutting massacre of nineteen forty russian treated very respectfully the tragic crash of the presidential plane. last april and i think we have an improved climate in polish russian relationship and this gives this gives me hope that the matter will be priests pursued and proceeded legally and with respect to international for international law. you are with r t it's good

to have your company today and still ahead of you at this hour in the capital. an investigation is underway after only alleged notorious criminal ward was shot in the center of moscow we take you to the scene. plus. we look at the poverty that america is recession industrial towns. or u.s. senate panel has approved the nuclear arms reduction deal signed with russia in april the start treaty which now needs to be ratified by the full senate could see the country's reduce their stockpiles by a third but while the u.s. president is urging lawmakers to speed up the process and house issues could hamper ratification as artie's a guy nature can reports. the start treaty got the green light from the senate foreign affairs committee and is heading for the senate floor this treaty will make
10:11 am
america more secure it will assist us in moving towards the goal of less nuclear threat and for that reason we're probably actually took today it's been a bumpy ride this five months of hearings and the resolution that the senators passed reflects that they put all their concerns in one package among them. the time between offensive and defensive weapons senators clarify the treaty in no way is an obstacle for the u.s. plans to deploy defense systems american officials see it the same way it commits us to continue to develop the ability to be able to protect our people and to have a robust missile defense system but russia's do take the time mentioned in the treaty quite seriously they see the new start as an agreement based on equality and balanced and if that balance is shifted or disturbed they say they can pull out but some in washington say their hurdles related to the ratification are not so much
10:12 am
about the details of the treaty but about republicans trying to make a point to the democrats one of the problems is good old fashioned red meat politics the republicans don't they just can't resist this opportunity to say well you know the democrats are weak on national security and that's one of the real barriers that the obama administration faces here i have no doubt whatsoever if we had a republican administration this this treaty would be already radical the paradox is that the number of republicans who had testified for the treaty outnumbers democrats on top of that the u.s. military officials are unanimous in their support of the deal something that many experts are pointing out here senators can express their concerns but they can't really change the trading they can either ratify it or not and doesn't. what senators were saying this thursday they surely will the question is when i'm going

to check out our reporting from washington d.c. . the start treaty could go a long way in helping some modernize and improve nuclear defense well that's the opinion of gary hart u.s. senate and a member of the commission on u.s. policy towards russia it's a large step it will get rid of dangerous unnecessary nuclear weapons on both sides at the end of the day there will be a vote or the treaty people will have to vote for it or against it and those who vote against it are going to have to justify why they voted against it and why it makes us more secure not to have a treaty then if we had the treaty if you replace. warheads or delivery systems that are old and increasingly unstable with a newer generation more secure technology you are actually improving security
10:14 am
rather than endangering it so a limited argument can be made for modernization of nuclear arsenals certainly not expansion of if we are serious about dramatic reductions in these nuclear arsenals then we widen the club and bring in all the nuclear powers and say enough we're all we're going to get rid of all these it does seem like. kind of ideal dream but it is a goal to reach for and you can watch the full interview with gary hart full my american senate co-chair of the commission on u.s. policy towards russia that is this sunday right here on oxy. well as suspected russian criminal mastermind is being treated in a moscow hospital after an attempt on his life nicknamed grandpa her son hears thought or fallen victim to a gangster war right in the center of the capital parties you go to prison off as more from the crime scene. vincent happened here on this quiet stein street in the
