war so it's only islamic center says the number of migrants from muslim countries is growing rapidly the. right sort of this mosque almost twenty years ago when the several dozen people were coming here for prayer now the friday prayer gathers hundreds and the building simply cannot fit everyone. news of another islamic center to be built in warsaw was welcomed by the nation's thirty thousand strong minority construction of a new second mosque in warsaw began last year according to blow brains it is supposed to be three times as large as the initial islamic center but unlike the first mosque which was sponsored by the local muslim community this one was financed from abroad. the fact that construction money came from saudi arabia enraged several political movements in poland they staged protests urging the government to stop what they call islam isolation of the

pakistan as well but we don't ever talk about the civilian impact the impact on women do women have increasing women's rights today also what about the children this is the future generation that is actually going to take over to rule the country once we leave so the impact they were having on what they're seeing the level of violence their friends and family being killed these are very negative impacts if we did pull out it would have a good long term benefit is because we're right now we're breeding terrorism in the region we're creating instability in pakistan bar continued presence in afghanistan with cross border attacks we're seeing on nato supply lines and on u.s. bases from the pakistani side into afghanistan as well. and the u.s. led campaign in afghanistan has done little or nothing to stem the flow of drugs coming from the country russia's top anti of narcotics drug officers said that if anything it is made things worse. that's the nine years of the us campaign in

afghanistan shows more fighting equals less chance to destroy the narcotics business only the government capable of ruling the country based on the population supports can solve the drug problem when americans say you can't leave the peasants without their only way of income they're giving a sign to the afghan authorities to keep out of the opium business because those left without cash will turn to the taliban for support but this is just an excuse. and you can see the full interview with the head of russia's anti a narcotic surgeon see on our website that's r.t. dot com but will also be broadcasting it for you on sunday. well now let's get to some other world news making headlines at this hour and experts tackling toxic chemical spilled in hungary say they've reached a critical stage in their attempts to stop the slide from spreading further emergency workers pouring in clay and acid industry means to neutralize the alkali

headlines in the russia us earlier this year that was doing. an. invasion of the furry past authorities and i have decided not to fight them and i've come up with a cunning plan instead log onto our t.v. dot com. and in just a moment is the business news with you. for the full story we've got. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. hello

and a very warm welcome time to delve into the world of business russia may sell its first born's denominated in the euro's next year that's according to deputy finance minister dmitry pumkin the country will seek to raise up to five and a home billion dollars in april russian soldiers first international bones since the default of nine hundred ninety eight is aims to fill the gap between government income and spending. russian cyphers have signed an incremental eliminating double taxation between the two countries the deal has been reached by russia's president

who's visiting cyprus aiming to develop closer and more transparent financial ties . the taxes are still low here but there will be an implementor there's no zero taxation in cyprus but there was a couple of questions one including the disclosure of information about the company and second about particular purchase of the real estate in russia we choose not to the result so it's just happened historically the russian business not only partly for the reason of taxation partly for the reason of providing additional security for investment. in cyprus i think. we can change it very quickly so i think number one is do you get more investment from cyprus into russia what's happening in cyprus or one of the largest investor in russia and i think gradually the russian business will start probably to remove to russia but at the end of the day if we have a normal tax at the extreme of

a normal chief information i think at the very much matter. fears of a currency war will top the agenda of the i.m.f. and the world bank this weekend to look at head i'm joined from london by steve barron's treasury debt standard bank mr barrow thank you very much for joining us so do you expect i.m.f. members this weekend to discuss an agreement to stop we can in their currencies. when i think them are have very. a broad agreement maybe agreement not being the right word but a broad decision to try to avoid that were of a possible but i don't think it is possible now i think one says meeting is ended before and the countries in asia for instance are still intervening in the markets to stop their currencies from getting too strong. if there is no accord is there a danger that country as well take unilateral action against their trading partners wouldn't that be a disaster for world trade. yes that's obviously

a key consideration i think going forward we've seen already a lot of tensions between the u.s. and china in particular with respect to to this issue and i do fear that these tensions will escalate and it could damage the global economy as a result that surely the major currencies like the dollar lent their pound will continue to weaken and governments continue to print money. yes i think that is likely a thing really the whole idea of printing money is in many respects to devalue money to make money cheap relative to goods and services. centrally to try to raise inflation the problem is that if the fed tries to reduce the value of the dollar against local goods and services in the u.s. it's also likely to drive the dollar down against other currencies as well. has the world moved from a credit crunch to an excess of liquidity and isn't inflation the big risk now.

well i certainly agree that liquidity is very significant match what the central banks have been doing to try to pump the world full of liquidity whether that turns into inflation depends on whether about liquidity is used at the moment it's not being used banks are hoarding it consumers are being very cautious and saving it one day in the future that caution will disappear and inflation could arrive but at the moment i still feel who are afraid to fight in more of a deflation threat than an inflation threat in the major countries thank you very much for this indeed that was steve barrow strategist at standard back from london . time to have a quick look at the markets now and here in russia the porters are slighting for the second day as prudent metals have dropped do you mean the earnings prospects for growth material producers urals nickel and your old carlie i mean one of the main players directly the market's down more than two percent on the my six. and
