freedom of speech and. some other stories that have saved the week russ awaits a decision on the extra to send out one of its most wanted terrorist suspects from poland where he was detained on friday but later released. also russia and norway reach a milestone agreement on their borders in the energy rich balance thing putting it and more forty year you over the water. and a spike in poverty in the u.s. new figures reveal one in seven americans are living below the crowd by last year that's the highest number in over fifty years of record keeping. a warm welcome to the weekly here in our team with me

a nice and now way we're going to take a look back at the week's top stories but first exit polls and sweden's parliamentary elections suggest the country's ruling center right coalition has won but it's not yet clear of its retained a majority a controversial far right party could hold the balance of power with polls indicating it's extremely close to clinching seats for the first time this week and democrats demand sharp immigration cuts saying it will ease pressure on the country's welfare system with the party gaining ground some planned events have been attacked and others denied their right to free speech as more emmett reports from the city of malmo. it's one of europe's oldest democracies but the lead up to this year's election in sweden has been anything but democratic candidates from the right wing sweetened democrats of being harassed and bullied allegedly by young people from far left groups. there have been

several cases which passed with a notice the now it's starting to become known to big party names is getting more attention it's horrible that it should happen during an election campaign it's a threat to swedish democracy. this weekend democrats are controversial they believe the government's immigrate. recent years there's been a failure. of migrants to live been enclaves where they don't. creating tension between diverse ethnic groups draining. the s.d. would severely limit immigration and encourage. to simulate. that's led to them being branded by left wing groups this is one me saying that was allowed to go ahead but in the days leading up to the election the sweden democrats were forbidden from campaigning like this with the police saying they couldn't guarantee their safety s. d. candidate says that's tantamount to the state guaranteeing free speech with one

hand but taking it away with the and she knows all about threats to her personal safety last week she came home to find a door. so of course. i'm not. angry because it's one of the things. the democracy. used to be you can say what you want and. reckon she's. a fellow candidate in a scene reminiscent of a film. in his house down the swastika was carved on his forehead he told the police he told them speech in arabic in a town like malmo where thirty percent of the population was born abroad this weekend democrats have attracted significant support among the swedish born

population the latest polls put their popularity nationwide at seven point six percent enough to win twenty six parliamentary seats out of three hundred forty nine. a political candidate in the nearby town. doesn't agree with the message the democrats are pushing out but thinks it's important they should be allowed to speak . pretty but it's very. people. here in the. other political parties and they were sweeping democrats even if they do get elected to parliament so it's not just threats to their safety the s.d. candidates have to worry about they're already discussing what to do. how to keep

us out anyway and what about democracy its people. there. so. this weekend's election is likely to result in the sweet democrats winning. is likely to be a divisive. politics. the other parties have to decide. and how they're prepared to deal with this group they've tried so hard to ignore and ordinary people will have to decide whether they value free speech enough to let an anti immigration policy play a role in governing some have already shown they don't know where and it's artsy sweet. here with our live from moscow much more ahead for you this hour. to come. counting is underway in the afghan capital amid reports of violence and fraud

we'll bring you an update in just a few moments. gangster wars in the heart of moscow we bring you the story of an attempt on the life of brussels notorious moscow and a look at multiple motives for the fight. but first a polish court is set to decide whether to extradite one of russell's most wanted terror suspects are moves a client was detained in warsaw on friday on an international arrest warrant but later released argues alexy yourselves reports from the polish capital. two days before i arrived in warsaw the polish media was speculating over whether one of russia's most wanted terrorist suspects who was also on interpol's list would be detained just after he landed in warsaw was apprehended by the police show for e.t.s. was coming to attend a very high profile event the world. which is taking place in poland and it was

impossible to ignore he would be making a public splash so therefore the poles had to act because they do have obligations to their european partners to the systems legal systems they belong to and i think that's what they're answering to in detaining is a kind of the man himself seemingly confident of his immunity provided by his political refugee status made his own way to the prosecutor's office where he was detained he said poland was not his enemy and that he wanted to find out for himself why he is wanted something few in moscow believed. we heard a car i was heading to poland to turn himself into the prosecutor's office why he could go to the prosecutor's office in britain or any other country if he wanted to but he did it in poland so my theory is that it might be aimed at storing the improving relations between moscow and warsaw. poland has to consider whether to be

extradited to russia and no matter how hard warsaw try to de politicize this issue . the prosecutor general tells me they have no choice but to start extradition procedures but these procedures do not mean an instant extradition and the russian side shouldn't necessarily hope for a decision that will satisfy all. experts knew from the very start the decision would not be free of mind games as you understand. but they also have their own limitations but mystic agenda and they can go. and definitely i think this is the moment of truth for our relations committee has been one of russia's most wanted since two thousand and two it is now that he walks in an elegant suit but just a decade ago he was the leader of a chechen militant group and he is believed to have been involved in a string of atrocities in north caucasus from brutal killings to good things moscow

says it has proved it was one of the masterminds of the more school theater siege in two thousand and two which led to more than one hundred deaths however in two thousand and three he received political asylum in britain and all attempts by russia to extradite him for trial have been futile the polish courts as we all know considering the sex tradition request as they legally must will review that evidence also review the basis of the decisions taken in the u.k. which granted him asylum and asylum proved. after the polish prosecutor general's office filed a request to keep him behind bars for at least forty days or so as district court ruled that political refugee status meant more than the fact he is internationally wanted and he was immediately released on friday night walked out the doors of warsaw as district court feeling like a free man the question is is whether he will be able to go home or will be

extradited to any other country a polish court says it may take several more days to deliver a decision on the fate of one of russia's most wanted criminals. reporting from warsaw poland. to afghanistan now where at least fourteen people were killed in a string of attacks on saturday when the controverted in parliamentary elections ballot counting is underway amid allegations and reports regularities are just correspondent paul the slayer is in kabul. have been no incidents of violence reported although as you say at the close of election day saturday at least fourteen people were confirmed did the taliban carried out more than thirty eight bombing attacks in a statement an e-mail that said it had targeted and hit some one hundred and fifty polling stations around the country we're hearing from afghan officials that a little more than a third of the voting population turned out to bridges to the vote and we're also

hearing from the free and fair election foundation of afghanistan that they recorded some two hundred and twenty four incidents of serious intimidation they seem to have been problems particularly in the eastern provinces of afghanistan where there were virtually no female electoral staff and as a result women particularly in conservative communities were unable to come forward and crossed their ballot in addition to the more than one thousand floating stations that were unable to open because of intimidation and threats from the taliban the foundation has also recorded a further one thousand five hundred and eighty four voting stations that opened their doors late because of problems in the whole mechanisms of organizing this election we're also hearing and we've reported extensively on this on the empty food problems that we face primarily by the so-called indelible ink that could be washed off in many cases in just a matter of minutes and also cases of fake voter id cards in one example there was

a car that was found with one thousand six hundred fake voter cards so these have been some of the problems that are coming forward and will continue to come forward in the coming days preliminary results are expected on the eighth of october although it will take several weeks for the final results to be tabled now the afghan government particularly president hamid karzai and his international backers have been at pains to point out the success of this election but it depends according to what yardstick you measure success in the yardstick they've been using is he. people here say extremely low they say that irregularities are inevitable they say that the violence of the su was less than of was last year during the presidential elections and that they say that this election of the two hundred and forty nine parliamentary members will not be as corrupt or as difficult as it was last year having said that though there are many observers many analysts and a lot of afghans themselves who say that these elections cannot be called

democratic in the wastrel sense of democracy the fact that so few people tuned out to vote does not give legitimacy to the parliament which is due to take its seats next year. or choose policy we are reporting there from kabul now the democratic process is failing in afghanistan that's the view of dr of the of the afghan opposition leader who has made karzai as main challenger in the two thousand and nine presidential election he says his country must learn from past mistakes to avoid collapse. rejected before the presidential elections last year but if the same situation frontin new this situation can only do thirty a 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 a the sort of sliding down all the the downward

trend. to an absolute failure by lists by lists we look into the mistakes of the past we draw lessons from the mistakes of the past and we give the people up on this on their sense of direction so this is stage the african leadership the administration led by mr accounts say it is so physically they misled leadership and then lost as of direction great defenders of the national government cannot be substituted with more troops from outside sources from outside more energy and more support from outside this is situation that afghans are to start with in the international community is also stuck with. more than forty servicemen have reportedly been killed in a gun fight to just stand as thought they were ambushed in the mountains in the northern part of the central asian republic the soldiers had been searching for fugitive criminals who had fled from a high security prison last month more than twenty people convicted for an

attempted coup kill the jail security guards and escaped into the mountains they were part of the islamist opposition movement that fought against the central government in a civil war in the one nine hundred ninety s. . now this week norway and russia signed an arctic border agreement resolving a decades long territorial dispute the treaty created a maritime boundary in the energy rich barents sea and divided the disputed area roughly half the size of germany the deal is expected to boost offshore exploration in a region rich with reserves of oil and natural gas. russian in the region leaders aglow in from satisfaction with president dmitri medvedev and prime minister yen stauffenberg have achieved is a huge relief for the nations. the goal it took us forty years to arrive at this agreement it's a long time but this event must certainly turn a new page in our bilateral relations the area which stretches over one hundred

seventy five thousand kilometers in the bering sea has been a bone of contention between the neighboring countries since the nine hundred seventy s. but this wasn't simply a territorial he'd containing vost oil and gas reserves profit has also been at the center of this peat but with unclear border no one could even start the series exploration circle in this issue moscow knows lay have done with been impossible for decades and that some say because they need to boost their coffers and reserves but production both in russia and in always going to. need new fields and new big elephants to develop in this dispute is. place just very promising demonstrating goodwill incorporating with the nato member russia still openly opposed to the alliances military presence in the region for them of. the irked it's natural resources have nothing to do with nato it's

a zone for economic cooperation and military presence will create additional issues here the signing comes and it's rising tension between the five arctic states which also includes canada denmark and the united states over who owns water in this lucrative region moscow knows they have showed how to return to feuds can be resolved very important from the point of view of. the russian strategy which i would call to ease tensions are on the russian borders the treaties yet to be ratified by russian and the region parliaments something the two leaders predict will be done by new year some experts estimate the waters of the barrier of fear would hide as much as a quarter of the planet's seabed all and get resources for three years to pull its coopt and say this treasure has remained there then buried now with russia in no way finally thinking their law writing period the two maritime powers are why they're ready to make some headway what's been called them troubles for decades

well thrown the grid in profits. right ocean our team in the barents sea. just want to take a second to share what's coming your way next hour here in our team one step closer to a nuclear free world as the strategic arms reduction treaty between russia and the u.s. heads for a vote before the senate we look at how america's in-house issues could ratification. this week also saw another round of middle east peace talks with the israeli and palestinian leaders meeting for two days in sharm el sheikh and jerusalem the meeting was over saddled by israeli warplanes attacking gaza twice in response to palestinian rocket and mortar fire the talks continue here to be stalled over israeli settlements in the west bank palestinian president mahmoud abbas threatened to pull out of negotiations it is a real extended to settlement building however he added that there is no alternative it to have to peace but omar but goofy from the palestinian campaign

for the academic and cultural boycott of israel says the middle east talks are doomed to failure because the rights of palestinians are being neglected by what he calls are being negated rather. the entire settlement put on yourself in an enterprise is illegal according to international law all of the set them as have to be removed according to international law and this points to the main problem with these so-called negotiations and i call them negations not negotiations because they negate palestinian rights they negate human rights in general and they negate their reference to international law and therefore these talks have no chance of success there is really side is a belligerent occupier and an apartheid system that's denying the majority of the palestinians the refugees the right to return to their homes the palestinian side is too weak and lacks democratic mandate not to mention vision and other things so there is no chance for these talks to succeed. the white house is pressing ahead

with plans to double u.s. exports in the next five years the rules could generate two million jobs and it's hoped to help the country and its recovery from recession this comes as new figures reveal that the number of americans facing poverty is that a sixty year high. welcome to silk city. this once was what the industrial revolution looked like in the united states. now this is what poverty looks like in this town more than twenty percent are poor more than seventeen percent unemployed it means for many here ninety m. is a time to go to work now i guess. it's time to head to the food pantry for charity about the large. they are low income folks are some of them have been unemployed for almost two years is what we're seeing but on average it's the underemployed. there are people who can't make ends

meet people like jenny. and it's not enough you know it's just not enough to get all the need and the numbers are only growing and we saw in two thousand and nine a fifteen percent increase over two thousand and eight numbers and we're anticipating that that number will go up by another ten percent at the end of two thousand and one not only here but in the entire u.s. new statistics for two thousand and nine show forty three million people one in seven are living in poverty this is the most people who are in more than fifty years that's when they first began tracking these numbers here you can see one reason why a particular these are few and far between especially in the old urban industrial cities are paterson as in so many cities in the united states manufacturing used to power this one these were still factories that now are decrepit boarded up sitting in disrepair there are signs everywhere here of the u.s. manufacturing jobs that have disappeared or gone overseas factory work all of the

low level jobs that these folks with those fields are sort of out. and leaving them lining up in droves for a little heat we now see prepare about twelve hundred meals a day now it will be serving about four hundred. people. have free hard liners some of the work around here some are homeless not surprisingly i would call been made there are twenty percent more mouths to feed here eva's kitchen than a year ago why truly you know we're now down and some can't work like for one who has an incurable disease lose no for work or for so many of us used to be a truck driver yet he still can't afford lunch and experts say the needy are needier than ever are they more poor yes that i can say and here on the ground for from washington and wall street there is no sign of an economic recovery for these people in sight i don't see recovery and. they have no thanks for their politicians

i don't know what's going on with the dollar i don't know was the president gore. or me is not doing this in the womb rather. his lawyers in the urban decay of silk city gratitude is reserved for the help with recovery they do know. they feel they. don't you share your day count lauren lyster r.t. patterson new jersey. some very real pictures there of the economic situation in the us while poverty will be one of the top issues of scots at the un general assembly session in new york next hour are to ask people in the city what results they expect from a gathering. probably want to. just another chance to tell everybody hey we're here look we're doing do nothing and in the meantime

they take up a parking space the traffic for everybody congestion if we all stop believing in that what what's really the other option i guess i mean if martin luther king said you know it is the i have a dream or that haven't i'd nightmare yet a dream so i think that what we all hope for is that we don't have that fatalistic view that we hope there's always a possibility to change. the center of moscow witnessed a mafia class this week the man parts of me the godfather of most of russell's criminal groups was shot and seriously wounded are reports from the scene. with a click of a trigger the squad say street in the very heart of moscow became the scene of a gangster movie at around eight pm on thursday evening alleged crime was. known by the nickname grand son was entering an apartment building with his bodyguard when

suddenly the two men were entering a vis a door when the shooting began around the bodyguard went down first while witnesses say grandpa saw actually tried dodging the bullet and ended up getting one in his stomach both men were rushed to hospital and the authorities soon after announced grandpa my son had died from the back at the scene of the attack investigators found a kalashnikov rifle a sensor and empty shells. when was firing the shots from that window on the third floor it's right opposite the entrance and such a short distance made it nearly impossible to miss as it turned out the leader of the alleged crime leader and his bodyguard both needed to the hospital underwent surgery and are now recovering authorities said they give false reports on purpose to prevent a second assassination attempt ground by her son is believed to be in charge of most organized criminal groups in russia and the c.i.s. and controls highly profitable lands in moscow and in southern russia very

attractive for his rivals he used to be the right hand man of viewpoint and a tory a smart your boss assassinated last year was also shot in the stomach. so far it's hard to say who ordered the latest attack but it's definitely the result of the war currently going on between major gangster clans in russia that's what since you point exists there have been various reports of gangster shootings and assassinations both in russia and in western europe including switzerland spain and greece the police found dead bodies of men suspected of being members of this or that gang operating in russia or the c.i.s. but there's still no evidence grandpa his son is in any way connected. up or everyone knew al capone was they got fired over the mafia nevertheless he was jailed for tax evasion a crime which can't even be compared to the horrible things he was involved in proven grandpa stance criminal activities is just as difficult.
