figures and the suggestion the state department knew georgia was planning an attack in south a city before it happened. has the details. some of the things revealed by the controversial weeks website are so cynical in their nature that it's really hard to imagine what steps the american diplomats now have to take to clear their reputation now first of all it is also a great threat to their work in the middle east and muslim countries across the world as some of the some of the conversations we do the american diplomats have strong anti sly make statements and of course this puts their work in serious danger in the middle east region and the muslim countries across the world now also we know according to the week in leaks that basically the converse in the conversations between american diplomats they actually in some way betrayed their close allies for instance to weaken leaks reveals that the american diplomats supported the kurdish party in turkey despite openly saying that it wasn't so and

despite that and got ice being one of the closest allies in this region for washington another interesting part of the week at least revealing says that. the the secret services in the united states were ordered to spy on several very key u.n. figures for instance they were trying to acquire their credit card numbers where their fingerprints and things like that and some of the things revealed by that we have a very absurd to send about that u.s. diplomats were sending out letters to western diplomats to european diplomats concerning the u.n. general assembly so when that when the iranian president had just to speak they received instructions on how and when they should have left for the u.n. general assembly role as member of the swedish delegation according to the weeks which side received a letter from the u.s. diplomats saying that he had to leave the whole went with my what did he just want to mention the whole of course issue so the iranian president didn't actually

mention this issue so the swedish diplomat was perplexed as to what to do next so he didn't know whether he had to leave the room or stay inside. well this incident basically shows how the united states how washington is trying to influence the politics of other countries is trying to control the situation urging other countries to follow oh it's directed the weeks website is providing information to several magazines and newspapers across the world the russian reporter magazine is no exception to that we know that the website has supplied the magazine with very interesting information concerning the south the second war of two thousand and eight reported that the american ambassador to georgia at that time john theft who is now an ambassador if you guessed the united states in ukraine knew some twenty four hours before georgian bombs started falling on south the say that the georgian missile complexes were moving towards the south the city in the border and later on

some several days after that he can sack to washington on how to start the information war and information complained to clear second street his name as if anybody doubted that saakashvili was to was involved in that attack and. we also know that the weekly supported that several countries including the baltic states and poland who openly supported georgia in that who are also knew that it was saakashvili who started this attack and saw the sites here but obviously tried to neglect that fact also that we are reporting that several. u.s. diplomats were talking about different world leaders to europe and in russia discussing on how and who is running the country in particular they discussed the power tandem in russia the. collaboration talking about who is actually in charge of all things here in this country and saying that it was probably putin who despite that he's

prime minister that he is running russia in moscow well these speculations are not something completely new basically one could read about it in. the newspaper magazine and besides these these talks these conversations were taking place in the george w. bush era in two thousand and eight and earlier than the us now as long as we have this reset of relations between moscow and washington maybe the opinions of all of the u.s. diplomats are no different but many experts agree that the new findings by the weekly exwife site is not something completely new and this is something many of already knew about and talked about we know pretty much more sort of what the united states thinks leaders in the belt events and prostheses. there is a thing would be simply to see it in print on official documents but indeed this is we have to see what the reaction of the u.s. diplomats on those revealing why do we do next will be. asking reporting from

central moscow sergey struck on political columnist of russia's commerce a newspaper says although this leak exposes mass in the state department its real target could be president obama of course this is an unprecedented situation definitely and. i think this is just a serious incident which has to be analyzed because. if such situations happens that this custom washing over the work of the state department so definitely they have to improve their technique because they put by such leaks they put even awkward positions in the park and it's all over the world as i understand by my administration is supposed to pay the bills or of the last administration because of the some documents have made dated back to the year two thousand and four two thousand and five so i personally have a feeling that you know this is ongoing an attack on president obama which started not today and which aims not to allow him to be reelected this is the theme i think

. he struck on political columnist of congress and his paper there. and john harrison from king's college in london says that diplomatic cables taken out of context could be misleading or taken out of context these documents might give a misleading picture if we just take one document and say it says this rude thing about this of this leader and their reliability that doesn't necessarily mean it's that country's policy it means that's what insights in this globalized world with communications twenty four hours a day having a presence of of different countries officials in other countries is supposed to improve relations not undermine them and i think if people are now less willing to be candid and less willing to speculate a little bit it might lead to worse policies so just putting out information is public domain doesn't always lead to better policy and better governments it's

times can sometimes lead to an unintended outcome. joggers and from kings college and london there are. reports suggest china's top foreign affairs diplomat could be sent to north korea as early as monday as part of attempts to ease tensions on the peninsula beijing wants an emergency meeting of the six nations involved in north korea disarmament talks south korea has said it was not interested in formally resuming talks on nuclear disarmament at this time tensions have been stoked by the u.s. and south korea holding forth a joint military exercises in the yellow sea near the disputed maritime border reportedly put its surface to surface missiles on alert and it comes just days after the north claiming it was provoked fired artillery on an island belonging to the south killing for the bar of brazil based correspondent for the times says the only way to resolve the conflict between the koreas insta perceived or the tux. you can accuse the north korean regime of anything but they are rational actors they

are not crazy they're not foolish they have a kind of bunker mentality when they feel they're under siege state can react in sometimes some predictable ways but usually you know very aggressively like if you corner a cat. the cat will go at you even if europe huge lion so the only possible solution which the north koreans themselves are always saying look we need to sit down and talk and the chinese they don't want to rock the boat they don't want to unified korea they want to stop this cold they will north korea as a kind of laurel as their alley you know very very sensitive border they don't want always unified korea with american bases in the what is today north korea so are the chinese and florida north koreans just looks like an attacking exercise specially because the joint u.s.s. george washington which is basically a floating war machine with six thousand soldiers and fighter jets it's

a nuclear powered you name it they could destroy the whole country if they want to you know it's going to the low c. as well this is a use the struggle creation and i was have asked barbara zale based correspondent for the as the times what you'd like to live from moscow still to come on the program. this is a unique thing in the time we have heinies we had to be as accurate as possible. dive dive dive paddle power at some promises to take intrepid house in explorers to new depths. it's the biggest aviation hop in india and the whole of south asia plans for the much needed expansion of mumbai's main airport are being hampered as it's surrounded by slums the government wants to relocate thousands of families living there although as current scene reports the proposals have yet to take off. this is the first glimpse most people get of mumbai india's financial capital it's not a pretty sight with around one hundred thousand families sharing their walls with

the international airport this is not just an eyesore it's a huge security hazard also on. as far as the runway lengths are concerned as far as development of hunger is concerned you know these are activities which the airport requires expansion of the terminal building today we are chock a block at the airport where you have almost one hour of circling time for every aircraft the government hopes to clear that three hundred acres of airport land the slum as a group stop on but attempts to relocate the slum dwellers have met with stiff opposition like many others here fears her livelihood will be disrupted if she moves but i'm not concerned when the airport is expanded or not but where we are staying now our replacement houses should be in the same area and largely here to here and children work at the airport and women and money by cleaning utensils right here if you really came to us what do we and we are not moving from this area

. two years ago all the state government gave the contract to leading developer h. d. i l. do we have a late date the slum residents by building them homes up to seven kilometers away but with the state agencies acquiring land to accommodate only one in every four families many prefer to stay poor with every change there's going to be resistance but having said that people are aware this time we have british an unknown by works . at the same time because now they are being shifted from lines which they currently occupying some of them will not qualify the slum residents occupy prime land in the center of mumbai and did not meet an important source of votes into the government will force them out as a result their demands have become even more ambitious. you know let me live in this family should receive at least one hundred eighty thousand dollars this compensation actually if you want to buy a flip me

a buy it will cost that much this is expensive but at least the family can live frugally the government can even give us this conversation money a provider placement played in this area q this has become an important to all the government with mumbai airport already congested it desperately needs to learn that the slum is encroached upon the increase its capacity a second airport has been sanctioned on the outskirts of mumbai but this will not be ready to like least two thousand and fifteen sort of remains to be seen if the government will win the battle against the residents of this move by slum in seeing r.t. india and the length of the us led war in afghanistan is now stripped out of the soviet campaign there and. to last for another four asked combat troops plan to withdraw in twenty fourteen well arty's military contributor kernel of getting the situation's only getting more complicated the us military campaign in afghanistan. has beaten this of its record. duration well naturally this new american record has

triggered lots of questions regarding to what extent is it possible even to compare the saw of it and nato campaigns in the same country well what most experts and analysts have totally missed is that it is not correct to compare at all that then some of it and now american military presence in afghanistan paradoxically for no other reason that it these steel the same thirty years plus war that had been triggered by a back in one thousand nine hundred seventy nine it started as the cia proxy war against this soviet union then after the soviet forces was drawl that television came in to get rid of them and archy only to be followed by the united states operation enduring freedom when they came for osama bin laden so now this is the american face of the same thirty years plus war beach was also triggered by the

united states now it's totally in capsulated within these bermuda triangle pakistan to united states and afghanistan itself. incidents of abuse and civilian deaths in afghanistan is something u.s. forces have long been blamed for r.t. so be sure not to discuss this and other parts of the american led campaign with afghan foreign minister dr zalmai rassoul that interviews coming up in an hour's time but here's a quick walk. through of detainees be sure of civilian casualties. of the night raids in the house moving more to afghan forces would be charged off to come but listen this would be describing the problems. now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world and swiss voters have narrowed the controversial law that will see foreigners supported if they are convicted of serious crimes the vote has caused outrage among human rights movements while the

projects and we try to meet the expectations of the russian government. russia is the third largest gold producer in the world but despite rocketing prices could go old growth is slowing or just to tell the political the explores why russia could be left behind in the gold rush. there is the world. wide berth. here. when we got on to ground we saw just one man drilling before the ninety's said that in their mind in the urals used to employ three thousand workers producing five tonnes of gold a year now it produces as little as five hundred kilograms of the precious metals and even though gold now come on sky high prices the miners here still left behind

in the gold rush which it's hard and expensive to work in mining metal producers hike prices all the time transport and electricity monopolies raise tariffs constantly miners say there is enough gold and silver down here to last for another century but experts argue mining such old deposits is profitable the industry is still leaving all of the results of saudia geological exploration and isn't desperate need off new projects there is growth in certain companies that are either extending and expanding existing mines or are bringing online. mining projects that were already known about frankly thirty years ago there's very little you know new things that are being developed are going to be factors of growth going forward so if the current situation doesn't change now in ten years you can forget about growth it's not going to happen because there's just there's nothing else there's nothing to mind. one of the main drags on gold exploration is the law

on strategic resources if a company with. capital finds a mind of more than fifty tons of gold it risks losing its license as such deposits become strategic the government is now considering easing restrictions and opening deposits of up to two hundred fifty tons to foreign investors the goals in russia it's going to be here it's not going anywhere it's in the ground we have borders russia has a large bureaucracy has a large tax force is a large security force has poured controls. the go get a go what difference does it make who mines it up you might end up you pay your taxes the central bank can basically buy the gold if they want to so you know that from that point of view you're secure analysts say before the law on strategic resources came into force until two thousand and six almost all the major gold mining projects in russia were built with foreign capital that helped industrialize

the sector making their contrie the world's fifth largest gold producer if the industry is reopened for foreigners the growth prospects of russian gold mining could become the best in the world that you know but if you have a business are to the urals. island one approval for an eighty five billion here emergency aid package as european finance ministers battles to contain the debt crisis the country will receive over six to seven billion euros from the european union and the international monetary fund and pull out another seventeen point five billion euros from its own pension reserves ireland becomes the second to europe country to seek a rescue after chris's budget deficit widely destabilized the euro earlier this year forcing the e.u. to set up a seven hundred fifty billion euro rescue package to bailout the troubled economy. let's have a look at the markets asian stocks are posted by the european union finance
