it strongly linked with a mosque in gaza the last thing is my ill humans would call him soft as a terrorist he's a father of three and says he boarded the ship for gaza for his three daughters. in the gaza the children should have a right to live freely we want this so we joined that organization if another event of this kind was organized i would go again sit up in the early ninety's to help bosnian muslims the i h h or humanitarian relief foundation has offices in one hundred twenty countries wherever the roads the people. go. show or solidarity for people and it's shown solidarity in pakistan ethiopia lebanon indonesia iraq china as well as with the palestinians we have hospitals schools we have impress we are pulseless for the peoples callista new writer had a commie says israel is trying to portray the people as

a terrorist one in order to try and. justify the deadly flu to low grade in immediate after most world continue should know what israel has done these really is. mounted a defense which was you know we quite clever but not based on any on any facts it's known for the investigations to decide to key israel and the united nations each with the only inquiry. here r t. a recent going to report came to the conclusion that israel's military broke into national laws in that type in the big gaza flotilla in may shooting dead nine apps it is also talks e.u. and watch an american jewish lobby group monitoring the united nations and its executive director noir believes the ongoing investigation is nothing more than yet another attack on israel the human rights council held an emergency session only a day or two after the flotilla incident happened they declared israel guilty of

quote an outrageous attack so the outcome was entirely pre-determined and this is not something that's exceptional in fact mary robinson who was the un rights chief said that the human rights council has a pattern of acting politically and not for human rights let's remember who the membership is saudi arabia china colonel qadhafi of libya is now a member of the human rights council this is not a body that cares about human rights this is a body that is political that is and gauged in a constant campaign to digitalize israel and human rights is the last thing on the minds of members like saudi arabia cuba and saudi libya the human rights council as coffee and on said it is selective politicized and casts a shadow upon the reputation of the un as a whole but the un report its supporters to one of them is the israeli peace activists and group ghosh alone which claims that the blockade of gaza is illegal and also spoke to the organizations found former israeli parliament member theory

of an eerie. the question of whether the blockade is legal. or even very wise is very questionable it's being questioned in sight is that. i myself believe that the blockade is illegal immoral and festival stupid because no one really knows what the blockade is for what to suppress of this brocade the government now sais that the only reason is to prevent world materially and weapons from addiction to the gaza strip. but this can be achieved by other means for verba you can stop ships on the high sea search the cargo and then let them go a disk ship is mainly. there to. make two point one that duplicate is illegal and should be

abolished but also i think very many jewish people in israel and europe and then on to rort who do not support this brocade to want to call upon the israeli government to put an end to it. file share isn't trying politics. is the phrase of copyrighted products the step comes as no maker trying to strengthen existing laws is going off next to the controversial issue. of his bill in show business since deleted nine hundred eighty s. back then giving away demo tapes was the best way to gain fans a few decades his formula seems to be making a comeback. except now to spread the word publishers his music on the web for free so people p. to see him in concert. you see the album was already uploaded and downloaded

outdated. view to the party wants to see new laws in russia legalizing all nonprofit file sharing on the web formed in july in two thousand and nine it's also one of the founders of the pirates parties international a movement which unites so-called players from around fifty countries we need to really take a chance to get to take a stand. also tradition. taking back the freedom that once belonged to rephrase somebody's last name is. and take in one hundred years for. barrett sort of unite some websites accused of facilitating illegal file sharing in the global movement have millions of registered users and last year two members of sweden's squiers party even managed to get two seats in the european parliament. and these people are naive and lost with poor noise of economics and history a free economy cannot exist criticism supported by some deputies of the state duma

who see by making the plans of russia party official its organizers could get more than they bargained for the establishment of the party while not. people from the criminal liability for the law the planners of russia are seeing the current laws are outdated and on fear and claim that we will be back to the internet users in the country and that is around forty percent of the electorate piracy surely is a controversial subject but let's face it it's now grown into an international phenomenon with some official pirates even getting into european politics but before the pirates of russia can even dream of getting into the state deal need at least forty five thousand members just to register and the question is even if they do have the right amount of supporters are they ready to come out and name themselves. r.t.

thank you very much to you both for joining us now review mr nesbitt now you first visited forty years ago and obviously a lot has changed now what is the post dramatic or surprising change. of scene. in sixty seven when i first read there was. a primitive really very poor. pretty discouraging place the big changes the people now that people are so energetic. so excited about. what's happening what's happening in their own lives he has

a huge huge change the people are obviously the people who are in politics who are in governor who are businesses and so on every level whatever they're doing a very good year more incitement. and of course physical. appearance in china and just gone from that primitive third world look to the most modern country in the world. the country with the most modern cities in the world having said that now thirty years ago china was track one hundred thirty seventh in terms of g.d.p. and today they are now in the second position so what do you think from your first outsider's perspective what are they doing right while they're doing a lot of things right obviously in the in bringing the economy the constancy of the government of course allows a more long term thinking then you could have in western democracies so

this long term strategic thinking allow trial and error and as we see a china goes along and some things fail but most of the things that they tried out work and then they apply it on a bigger scale ok you seem to be very positive about china coming from europe you're coming from europe you're coming from the u.s. do you think china is misrepresented in the world yes or no you know there are things in china that are not good at all and that absolutely need to be changed and will change over time especially with the new generation coming up that has a much lower tolerance on. strict surratt authorities but what needs to be done is to also report the guts things about china the many things where china really has made enormous progress and that not only in economics but also it is on the way through change its in its political structure in its social

economic system i think i think good biggest problem with the reporting in the western press about china is that there's news about communist china and people say they always say the words to press the communist government of china . well recovery is going to turn it is that what it used to be but there's this money. he said about what it probably years that shakes to everything about china and it gives a very distorted picture this is a very modern society where there's a lot of participation in the. people obviously the point is there's a there's a social and personal freedom in china that there's never been before in the history of china and that freedom as allowed the people to contribute to the whole and to create. an ever greater and more prosperous

society and speaking of prosperous they are indeed getting very prosperous these days and in fact the government the chinese government has been trying to cool the economy because of. overheating supposedly overheating do you think there is an overheating of the stock market and the property market and you think it's going to person possibly be another us incident well i think we're i think the whole world is a little too focused on the crisis of the cooling of the healing and. we're going to have a double dip or not it a number of years i think this will be seen as an event rather than you pull over a ship this is an event this is a bump in the road this bump of the road is part of something called ready very much in prague and that is the river flows. decline of the west and

pretty fast rise of. that same place those are huge shifts the large shade you mention china is a rich country that is correct but you know lately more and more what comes up is the difference between china being a rich country and having a huge population which is not rich which has not yet gained its share on the rich . and to give you a little example how why that is so the property rights private property is has not existed in china so when the urbanization of the country was beginning of a private property and the profit you belong to the community they were sold to develop at that moment the value of gross dramatically the tough ominous who were relocated did not bring that. did not get that again but only the low

price and then you know the property rolls and rolls so what is now going on and we are now investigating and researching that in a chinese province of sichuan in chengdu is to give the farm us the people who know it all one owns the land before the property the private property rights to say all of that land to a much better price to have a share of all of that creation and if you think that in china still fifty percent of the population are farm us then there is a lot of wealth that can be created to the people and that's a development that can contribute very much to the sustainability of the economic progress of china.

nineteen thirty eight england and france tried to reason with hitler germany demands are going to land and gets its way they all thought they had created a safety net for themselves nineteen thirty nine the whole of europe is and gulf war efforts to establish a system of collective security in one nine hundred thirty eight failed and it's still on the agenda. the lesson was to be learned from the munich agreement on r t .

well it was really struggling.

just. to. welcome back this is all see a quick check of the headlines. rushes to triple crude exports to china to satisfy the giant nation's growing says to an injury with a new girls goal to only open to monday or presidents who didn't time to make sure that it was a must read day of business to china. another humanitarian aid for the team is bound for gaza nearly four months after the israeli all that time was the last one headed that came a nine and actually began a human rights council says was brutal and disproportionate. on the side of the powers so russia come out into the open i'm going to pull up stakes and starting an online campaign to establish a positive points to make coping and free file sharing illegal. and those are the

headlines up next it's our special report in which we had a thousand kilometers south from moscow to all stalled on dawn and it's one of the most beautiful cities in southern russia famed for its all good texture see it as our own spectacular gaze that's right now hail and i'll see you. one of russia's most important southern cities an industrial and cultural center with more than one point three million people this is a twenty first century town that's proud of its history where you can find cutting edge technology and people that still follow traditions that date back centuries this area is an agricultural jewel covered with rich fertile soil and blessed with a mild climate it's the second most productive region in the country but if you want to appreciate it properly you really need somebody to give you a lift. before labor the best way to see.
