worldwide news live from moscow this is r.t. unflattering assessments of the world leaders by u.s. diplomats and spying on the u.n. secretary general that's information anyone now has access to after classified documents from u.s. embassies across the globe were revealed by online wiki leaks for more details on the developing story that will live to go to prison off so the files contain u.s. foreign policy secrets this according to wiki leaks tell me what are they has there been any reaction so far also from the u.s. government. well first of all this is a huge blow true american diplomacy we're getting the latest news from washington at the moment is that. barack obama's administration has ordered state agencies us to. agencies to review the procedures on how to guard

a secret documents we're talking about over two hundred fifty thousand classified documents conversations between you eyes diplomats and state orders from the u.s. government all of them have been leaked into the internet via the weaken leaks a website which is known for its last summer's release also secret information on the wars military operations in afghanistan and iraq the latest set of documents concerns most of the american allies in most parts of the world including europe central asia and the middle east and some of them are quite sensitive for example some of the documents suggest that american authorities ordered to spy on some of the top foreign officials and even some of the senior united nations officials including the secretary general himself the spying included gathering information

personal information like of bank accounts data and listening to phone conversations and even forwarding them around is also according to some of the documents released by the we can release the website there's information on the situation with iran allegedly one of the leaders of one of the arabic countries asked the united states to attack iran before it could complete its alleged nuclear program other documents also hold some very controversial and sensitive information information for example political nicknames which are allegedly used by american diplomats in their secret classified conversations some of these nicknames are given to even the leaders also some of the key allies of the united states and europe for example the president of france nicolas sarkozy is allegedly referred to as the naked emperor german chancellor angela merkel is allegedly. for two as an got to flaunt miracle be. the president of iran

mahmoud ahmadinejad is first to allegedly i think we asked hitler russia's prime minister vladimir putin is often called the alpha dog reportedly according to wiki leaks and the power tunde then between the prime minister of russia and the president the thing we did have is allegedly referred to by american diplomats as batman and robin this is some truly controversial information some really important stuff and it's in fact if in fact it is true and many analysts would he said that the data off this caliber but only have been could only have leaked from the state department itself which basically puts under question the efficiency of this organization. these leaks would never have happened if not for the number of inside just who are ready to leak this information it looks like it's linked to the wars in iraq and afghanistan when offices and astute that

they're looking for a not exactly fair business and this moral decay inside the pentagon caused these leaks the main thing this leak has done is break the luzhin that the state department has everything under control they have been exposed mechanisms not secret but quite simple and cynical partners of the us will be more careful now it's another sign that the u.s. is no longer dominating the world but. i now know the point that i want to mention here is that some of these classified documents leaked on the web they date back to the years of the bush administration which is all you need some analysts presume that this leak off information was actually gained against the turned obama administration. as i understand about my administration is supposed to pay the bills of the last administration because of the some documents abate they did back to the year two thousand and four two thousand and five so i personally have

a feeling that as he says ongoing an attack on president obama which started not today and which aims not to allow him to be reelected. this is the thing i think. some of the documents which hold the most controversy concerning russia they are about the confidence of the city in august two thousand and eight the story about russia and georgia of course and i'm quoting to some of these documents the back then ambassador of the united states to russia he knew allegedly about georgia's plans to tax office a day and also he knew that georgian military was advancing towards the georgian south the city of water several hours before the fighting began reportedly he passed on this information to the authorities in the states and also reportedly they had our conversation discussing ways to support the image of god ga and small president because such as his regime and the whole situation for you go to the

classified documents as you are saying they refer to some other countries not only the us but told me about any possible revelations in wiki leaks concerning russia. some of the documents concerning russia were leaked and passed over to the skinny but it's your magazine the russian reporter and like i said they do some of them are quite controversial if we talk about this batman and robin nicknames or the alpha dog nickname alleged nickname for a fortune or sound the cd and the situation around that but you know so far the reaction here in moscow has been quite soft we've heard just heard less than an hour ago the former prime minister silvio of all saying that although these documents are interesting russia and moscow is not going to base its that's not going to change and so his point of view on the relations with washington d.c. just on words or documents go basing their view on the relations strictly on the

actions of the apartments that's according to foreign minister so you go up north also heard the press secretary of the russian president about it's michael was saying. about the from and i didn't find anything interesting in these documents and back to. jack she compared this misinformation to something which could have been created by. by hollywood and also the press secretary often the prime minister. has said that it's too early to make any conclusions is a huge amount of information is huge amount of documents and first they have to study to find out exactly what words were used to lucia the initial language of these conversations and if in fact all these figures they talked about were mentioned in these conversations and also some people are saying that it's not something new actually a loss of things mentioned in these documents have been already known and discussed by diplomatic circles around the world that's how backstage diplomacy works and

some people think that the significance of this event is not to be the documents themselves but the fact that they were leaked to the internet right now. we know pretty much more still of what the united states thinks about leaders in the balance events and cross the seas. there is a thing would be simply to see it in print on official documents. this really creates a challenge for hillary clinton who is planning to go into some of the u.s. allies in the middle east and central asia and the countries which will also mention these documents and she's a duck really are going to have to do some explaining on that trip. to europe is going off there with the latest on the disclosure of more documents from the web site wiki leaks you got it thank you. well in just a few minutes here on our t.v. keeping tensions high some. with

a regional joint naval exercises with the u.s. only a week after a deadly artillery exchanges in the region we talk to experts about reasons for such a military escalation also. if you really want to we and we are not feeling from this area and poverty stricken residents on the indian government are gripped in a deadlock keeping plans for airport expansion ground. a senior iranian nuclear scientist has been killed and another one wounded in two separate bomb attacks in tehran wives of the physicists have also been injured the attacks were reportedly carried out by men on motorcycles who were attached bombs to the cars the iranian government blames israel and the united states for the incident journalist and broadcaster. told r.t. from tehran third it was an attempt to hamper iran's nuclear program from abroad.

if you live in iran it's a very peaceful place nothing much ever happens here when these kind of actions are carried out it is generally from abroad and it's carried out with their coordination with their planning and their agents who might have been able to get in the country which in this case they have and their countries that are interested and are using iran's nuclear program to broadcast adverse publicity are known to the world and they're also known for their terrorist activities and the proxy terrorist organizations in the middle east so i can't expand any more on that there are interested parties and i think the world already knows who they are iran's nuclear program is very extensive but it is entirely peaceful now why would they want to hamper country's efforts to get on i have no idea they're reactors they used to make medicine they used to generate electricity they light water reactors they can't be any deviations keeping iran under their thumb is one of the main main

objectives of such actions. reports suggest that china's top foreign affairs diplomat could be sent to north korea as early as monday this coming as part of attempts to ease tensions on the peninsula beijing wants an emergency meeting of the six nations involved in north korean disarmament talks south korea says it's just not interested in formally resuming talks on the subject at this time tensions have been stopped by the u.s. on south korea holding four day joint military exercises in the yellow sea near the disputed maritime border drawn yang has reportedly put it surface to surface missiles on a load and it comes just days after the north claiming it was provoked fired ots hillary on an island belonging to the south killing of four people pepe escobar brazil a base correspondent for the asia times says that the naval exercise is a deliberate provocation by washington. the way washington has been spinning all

this saying they say look we had these exercises with south korea more or less organized months ago so they were scheduled to take place starting last monday and finishing next tuesday in fact a little over a week. the defense measure and not an attacking measure. but now with a situation has been evolving after the incident last tuesday in the oval seat 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 power you name it they could destroy the whole country if they wanted out of this floaty war machine you know it's going to the yellow sea as well this is a useless trouble cation because they're not supposed to be there in the first place there is an american continent doing the exercises i won't it is. korean

forces which was scheduled from the beginning so we always go back to the same point. in. this new installment of the endless cold war in the koreas to its own benefit then usually of course the western media yes but that was pepe escobar brazil based correspondent for the asia times well you can find more on that story and many other stories on our web site that's atif dot com and there are some other things they waiting for you as well on line i'm an army vehicle on the street so a lot of our stock in russia's far east raised fears the wall was about to break out however it turns out its owner was just copied to the shoppers. and a glimpse of a russian underwater a bicycle pedalled powered submarine opens up the wonders of the ocean depths to everyone with or without diving experience.

mumbai is the largest airline in india and the gateway to south asia but expansion of the city's main airport is being thwarted by the surrounding slums the government wants to a relocate tens of thousands of families but the price tag could be too high for residents once in compensation now looks at whether the expansion plans can get off the ground. this is the first glimpse most people get of mumbai india's financial capital and 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 a 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. i'm not concerned with the airport is expanded or not but where we are staying now a 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 b i l two we have a late date the slum residence 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 is going to be resistance but having said that people are aware the slum habitation in mumbai 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 they know the government will has to force them out as a result their demands have become even more ambitious. you know let me name this family should receive at least one hundred eighty thousand dollars this confrontation 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 provided placements late in this area. this has become an important case for the government

with move by airport already congested it desperately needs the land that the slum has encroached upon the increase its capacity a second airport has been sanctioned on the outskirts of mumbai but this will not be ready to let these two thousand and fifteen sort of means to be seen if the government will win the battle against the residents of this mumbai slum but in seeing r.t. india. now it's nearly twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow you are with. some of the stories making headlines around the world this hour the gulf states he declared sunday's elections a success although the majority of candidates are calling for the cancellation of the results due to fraud they have accused the outgoing president of rigging the election the quake it devastated country is still battling a growing cholera epidemic which was so far claimed more than a thousand lives and the eleven billion dollars in aid promised by the international community has not yet arrived. for the government has claimed

victory in a major battle against drug traffickers security forces swooped in on a gang stronghold in the rio de janeiro's most dangerous slum borne units were deployed in the military operation in which at least forty five people were killed brazil will host the two thousand and fourteen football world cup and the two thousand and sixteen olympics and bringing crime under control is just number one priority. well the u.s. led war in afghanistan has now been waged for longer than the soviet campaign in the country already it close to a decade the u.s. presence is set to last for another four years with combat troops not withdrawing into two thousand and fourteen but as ati's military contributor. says the situation is under becoming more complicated the u.s. military campaign in afghanistan has bitten the servant to record all duration

well naturally this new american record has triggered lots of questions regarding to what extent is it possible even to compare the size of the 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 the anarchy only to be followed by the united states operation enduring freedom when they came counting 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 very mood of triangle pakistan the united states and afghanistan itself. incidents of abuse and civilian deaths in afghanistan are things that u.s. forces have long been blamed for sophie shevardnadze discuss this and other aspects of the american led campaign with the afghan foreign minister that interview is coming up in about ten minutes time but here's a quick preview of what dr zalmai rassoul believes the afghan forces can do. that this created tension and it was the issue of detainees the shoe of civilian casualties did nation do issue of the night raids in the house moved in more afghan forces would be charge off to combat listen this would be this kind of problems. and in just a moment as the business news. hungry for the full story we've got.

the biggest issues get an invoice face to face with the news makers. hello welcome to our business program on surrounded. president matru medvedev has suggested more tax cuts for those who back innovative start ups he was speaking at a gathering on modernization and technology the president said investors should be exempt from taxes when they sell their shares and start up projects such angles

invest their own money different from venture capitalists who manage third party funds. the president suggestion is the latest proposal to inspire a russian version of silicon valley but can the economy be modernized by decree i'm joined in the studio by you're able to help ski head of national council for investment thank you for joining us today is to get your council represents directors who manage companies what do you think is the key to updating and diversifying the russian economy of course is a big task and government and private investors can do quite a lot i think first first of all what is important is for government to follow consistent policy of growth and development and that's probably should be based on focus on business and investment we're not promoting calling the investments in the country on setting up a clearance and liberations of course on top of it. it is important

to move infrastructure country both legal and physical and if you look at the growing competition from countries like could be countries reinvest. possible part of a g.d.p. growth to achieve growth above sixty percent of those so russia it can't vestment about twenty percent of g.d.p. should invest more of its g.d.p. to sustain high growth rates have been growth rates and also what is important in top of it is to increase efficiency of government bodies and to more but the corporate balance in the country and a lot depends on the on the elite on business. business on this show example how to. how to develop social responsible does in a country. thank you what is being done in russian to prove corporate governance to basically protect the rights of shareholders and investors and your pain what still

needs to be done yes of course. there has been more to it and done quite a lot you need years of. employing corporate governance in the companies and from watching that such as tutors instead of independent directors for example have a over such. became one more common in the state companies for example still quite a lot have to be gone in terms of employing. such that there's a point. including rooms as such and also change of this we just ration sort of such a corporate governance rules actually enforced on companies have to form. socially independent directors would would be a queue would make that work the government seems to be aiming at top down modernization in an effort to buy new technologies but your members have experience building and growing companies do you think enough is being done to promote the organic growth of companies i think again this is

a big theme and i think it's good to look at the. successful countries likes like for example singapore and look at the best practices so if in korea one thing with russia should adopt as it is a back best practice and learn from i would use the actions how to how to implement certain for them for sort of initiatives but let's number one. i think. it's. it's also important to. develop develop infrastructure and. i think. also develop trust between business and the business is what should promote. development of joint interests me for who you are before you leave us was a little bit more skeptical about government do they believe investing in people do cool technology or if you could should be allowed to go to live by private sector

but if you good government should do i'm going to do is promote equal rights and promote who. right. who search in those terms to post. great thank you very much for that and that's all the time we have your reports of school head of national council for investment thank you for joining our program. u.s. stocks opened lower on monday after a bailout for arlin did little to ease fears about europe's finances both the dow jones and the nasdaq are losing about one and a third percent bank of america and american express are the only dangers on the dow both up less than a quarter percent. and european stock markets are down however banks are among the top gainers on the footsie after european union finance ministers approved a bailout for ireland worth eighty five billion euros most blue chips are lower on
