violence and irregularities count after got prodded made for you make sense all signs of the political process here is fading join me for an update. one of russia's most wanted man tarasoff fact our cry over awaits a court decision on his extradition from poland. and deadly secrets down below are two books that the efforts to rid the baltic sea of world war two munitions which still pose

a danger. to eleven pm in moscow and this is our to you coming to you live first this hour polls have closed in afghanistan's parliamentary elections after a day marred by reports of voting irregularities and deadly militant attacks across the country and with u.s. troops pledging to pull out of afghanistan by next summer many feared the election show the country is far from stable and still plagued by corruption archies polis leer is in kabul. by and large the sunni militias successful day for us gun democracy even if it was an extreme meet you know the voter turnout at some polling stations reporting that less than of course the number of people turned out today compared to the number of people cost him a batted in last year during the presidential elections the first results will come

in next week wednesday with the final tape tending to been tabled at the end of october but these sort of he will be elections associated with flying in space more than anything else in polling stations what i'm able to open the doors are particularly in far flung communities where the taliban has its. on control we've also heard from the electoral complaints commission and it says it was the course of the day it received numerous reports on irregularities some of the complaints were by people saying that they saw you know action officials accepting bribes some of the reports were about fake the voting cards and also reports about the so-called indelible ink which was supposed to last more than four days and that was supposed to indicate that a person had voted and prevent them from voting a second time but we've heard many stories of people being able to marshal for the same thing in just a matter of minutes we afghan parliament is meant to be installed next year but if reports of the vote rigging in the coming weeks materialize and in fact become

larger if many of the two hundred and forty nine candidates who take up seats in the parliament turn out to be the preferred candidates of president hamid karzai people here will feel even listen to say yes to above the political process one of the main reasons for such a go to not to date was violence but the other reason was a lack of enthusiasm and support for an administration that many people feel is corrupt by and large people also feel that this is an administration that by western governments that has not listened to the will of the people the karzai administration will be for that deal it gets revised by these reports of irregularities and violence it certainly seems as if they haven't been able to stem the violence throughout the course of the day this was so is being teddie by many analysts as a missed opportunity by hama karzai and his sponsors to actually win support from the afghan people and also to win support for the political process here in afghanistan but all these troops are meant to leave this country by july of next

year they say that they will only do so if there is a security system in place that can ensure political stability and security would suit me based on what we saw today this does not seem to be the case. well afghanistan can only avoid becoming a failed state if it were arms from past mistakes that the view of dr abdullah abdullah and afghan opposition leader who was hamid karzai is main challenger in the two thousand and nine presidential election. as i had predicted before the presidential elections last year but if the same situation frontin you this situation can only do to you date this is exactly what we are witness to in terms of governance issues of corruption rule of law and justice and security and as a whole so this is the these sort of sliding down all the the downward trend. to an absolute failure i list

a list we look into the mistakes of the past we draw lessons from the mistakes of the past and we give the people of afghanistan back their sense of direction so this is stage the afghan leadership their administration led by mr katter say it in itself is a misled leadership and then lost sense of direction to the failures of the national government cannot be substituted with more troops from outside sources from outside more energy and more support from outside this is the situation that afghans are to start with and the international community is also stuck with it. and if afghanistan does fail to become a stable nation it will have serious consequences for other countries in the region that's according to matthew hoh head of the afghan study group i think it's in. every other nation's interest to see a negotiated settlement in afghanistan it's been a proxy war or. a real war in one way or another for the last thirty thirty

five years in afghanistan and it has improved nobody's economy has approved nobody's way of life. i think for nations like the central asian states or russia for china that have issues with their own ethnic minorities or muslim minorities i think it's important for what's happening in afghanistan not to spread across boundaries. there with our t.v. live from moscow still to come for you calls for a change in priorities in u.s. politics. despite an all time high poverty of more than fifteen years at these big name conservative leaders say what america needs to ban gay marriage to bring god back and. we have the campaign trail for the u.s. midterm elections and discover what values some think are the most important in these hard economic times. on the program find out what dangers lurking in the

depths of the baltic sea that's coming up in just a few minutes. but first a polish court is due to decide whether to extradite one of russia's most wanted terrorist suspects of meds a copy of was detained in warsaw on friday and later released russia is demanding his extradition in connection with atrocities in the north caucuses argues alexy or so ski is in warsaw. left this building was district court late on friday night feeling almost like a free man it is hard to say whether he is a free man now as the court as you said is still to decide whether extradite to russia or anywhere else or not we heard comments from the officials working in this court that according to the country's largest lation that has a political refugee status in the u.k. this applies to the whole of the european union and that's why he had to be set free immediately i'd like to remind two of us that he was detained early on friday

morning in the polish capital warsaw on charges that he is on the international wanted list by the interpol and that's why the polish authorities had to do one of russia's most wanted terrorist suspects now many experts in poland have already been very surprised at the decision by this court saying that usually the fact that a person is on an international wanted least is more important than a regular political refugee status and that's why it is still unclear what fate lies ahead of all in all. eleven criminal acts russia believes moscow believes that he. militant group in the northern caucasus which was involved in a lot of different crimes from brutal killings to kidnappings in the northern caucasus region also mosco believes that as a kind of was somehow involved in a terrorist attack in most infamous theater siege the north. in moscow which was

one of the most painful pages in modern russian history. is definitely one of the most wanted man in russia he was granted political asylum in the u.k. in two thousand and three and ever since most go has been asking london to extradite but so far all attempts have been futile this detention in warsaw which happened on friday morning. is the closest moscow got so far to actually get things that back to russia for a trial but so far it is as i've said unclear whether he will be extradited to all the comments we've heard from the local politicians and authorities say that this decision will not be politicized that poland will act in full accordance with its own law and international legislation and we of course are waiting to hear any developments on the story and the future fate of one of the most wanted men in russia well circus political analyst from commerce newspaper told us why he thinks

poland want action to russia. i think that despite current approach men and russian poles relations and despite russia's strong pledge pledges to extradite him i don't think that we expect him to come back to russia i personally would be very surprised if he's extradited for simple reason that still this is a very politically charged issue and the as you understand. the ruling elite they also have the only limitation is that they have all on domestic agenda and they can go to that so i see at this as a sort of cat and mouse game you see this all the north i think you would not go to russia there were some conflicting reports some said that he was not informed that he might be arrested but i think the reason is that he simply understood that polish authorities had no guts just to arrest him and percent him to russia and in fact it was proved yes to do and polish prime minister also said that russia should not go to fly in its expectations definitely i think this is. a moment of truth for

our relations at a moment just to see how mature this relations are of course what he's facing this those are very serious accusations but definitely he would be intitled the best lawyers and the case would be fully transparent and it would come under close scrutiny of international community of international human rights activists so i don't understand why such a big fuss or what that's why he can go to russia can be extradited. there's more on many of the stories we're covering plus much more on our website our two dot com let's take a quick look at what else you can find online right now that we're seeing rates the group for the next mission to the i assess has been confirmed find out who's go in and what they'll be doing in orbit for the launch in october. and riding retro style the russian and ukrainian president get behind the wheels of soviet made cars

in an international rally. the u.s. is preparing for mid-term elections against the background of grim news this week about the country's poverty rate but on the campaign trail some parties say it's not finance but family values that should be the priority party's christine for example has been following the conservative values voter summit. they say they came to take america back it isn't our values our shared timeless values that have changed is that it's our leaders that have changed in campaign like speeches they criticized among other things president obama the white house tries to argue that the stimulus has helped. that's

a bit like saying that squirting water from a garden hose helps put up a forest fire one day after staggering numbers were released from the u.s. census bureau showing a more than fourteen percent increase of those living below the poverty line powerful organizations and big name politicians came out to spread this message you cannot divorce the social issues from the fiscal and financial issues so just what are these pressing social issues like anything else everything's great help your you know everything. first one organization says marriage in america is under attack marriage is a fundamental right but there is not a fundamental right to marry whoever you want our government our policies have always regulated who you marry or who you may not know the national organization of marriage wants to keep it that way in other words no gay marriage and speaking of gays tradition family and property works to keep them out of the military when you fight for freedom shouldn't you also want to have freedom. obviously we have and we

have to for it for freedom and freedom does not mean license to do whatever you want these issues so important to the masses here a new lobbying group has been formed its aim is that republican elected officials to get them to put social issues back at the top of their agenda these are elected officials they were sent to washington to represent the people in their districts in their states many of these people the bottom line is they can't pay their mortgage they don't have a job shouldn't that be the number one focus the thing is is that the issue of the middle class that's the main issue at stake here the middle class has a number of priorities it's the main class that is the emphasis for social issues well you heard it here first the middle class cares most about social issues a month there is one issue even more important to the participants here god hala evidence from an almighty god and then god. upon the individual power and

been known for the military presence which occupies almost two search of the instruments and overshadows the people whose everyday life. where all the sounds so people could use or like to see with. you is worth every. one of our teeth. dangerous work is underway at the bottom of the baltic sea to remove world war two munitions it's expected to take at least two years to dispose of thousands of lines and mortar shells piled up on a sunken german ship there are some of the reports. cold word but determined to do what is a man on a mission and that mission is to monitor the state of all german munitions. even with knowledge of god visibility is low just a couple of meters there missiles every web somewhere in boxes and tightly packed

together before you could be from world war two it's wrecked some shells actually laying on the seabed maybe but. one and a half kilometers of shore seventeen meters underwater and turned suddenly sile still on board this german ship is just one of the many reminders a world war two in the baltics the russian emergencies ministry list some was ninety underwater hotspots in this area alone but only a few have been checked several in little which you know personally these missiles are very dangerous there are none that have rusted away and become homeless on the contrary some of that we take out are in very good working condition when you. say some can ship is on the russian emergencies ministry to do list but with money tight and bureaucracy alone and complicated it's not something that can be done quickly and while they wait local fishermen feel the weapons will still get their chance to fulfill their deadly role boats have been known to return to port with all torpedoes in the next captain valeri emotion knows only too well the dangers he

says they deeply and that goes the bigger the trouble it can bring out. once a fisherman from our village had thirty six missiles in his net he was fishing near it on cape and brought the multiple tees they put all the missiles right on the deck what else could you do though relatively small in size the baltics is the most densely mined area with around one hundred fifty some of the new missions to bear it there the clock is ticking louder now as time and seawater are against the residents of the home area could be of help by a sudden explosion unless the urgent measures are taken that sound like a troll are. let's take a look now at some world news in brief as it's coming up to nineteen minutes past the hour thousands have rallied in london against pope benedict's visit to the u.k. they slammed the church over the sexual abuse of children by priests and other issues the pontiff meanwhile met with five victims of clerical abuse earlier in the
