quarter join us tonight. for welcome to you live from our headquarters here in central moscow this is archie with me and he said now way it's six pm here in the russian capital four pm in oslo norway where for the first time in more than seventy years the nobel peace prize ceremony has been held without the winner there is growing anger from the chinese government over giving the prize to human rights advocate lucia the pro-democracy activist is serving an eleven year sentence for subversion chinese authorities have not only bank him but also his wife from attending the ceremony almost a third of the fifty countries invited to all slow are staying away including russia and saudi arabia and pakistan russian officials have even. jafta julian i
10:02 am
found the leader of the on line whistle blower making me dizzy. involved washington is hunting for a son tapping his latest revelations in us to someone the nation's calling for a release of the chinese noble prize winner some say it smacks of double standards . but. the nobel prize is granted the lucille ball i don't want to pass any judgment on us now all right what is implied is really the targeting of china done on your political stance or that it has nothing to do with what are you shabazz actually done and you come to the conclusion that cries based on political considerations rather than on anything tangible well i saw a statement by the russian media regarding assad and i think that what you see with regard to the silence is that most standards julian assange is now being threatened he's being targeted for releasing information to the global leader so they do see
10:03 am
the novel standards of the so-called international community where a son is targeted for doing what's what he should be doing which is releasing factual information which should be known to the public and then you have valid case where the same people will be pushing for a candidate which is a dissident within the people's republic of china and using the nobel peace prize to justify a political agenda and this year it essentially is there to put pressure on china and to china's so-called human rights record when in fact the united states human rights record is far worse than that of china. well those supporting wiki leaks have staged a cyber war on companies which are obstructing its work including pay pal visa and master card these firms say they do not allow their clients to promote illegal activities but is going to cam reports this doesn't stop them from continuing to
10:04 am
serve some outspoken hate groups. the u.s. government has presented no charges against julian a song but the absence of solid accusations did not stop american government officials from reportedly putting pressure at the highest level to cut off weiqi leaks money supply the senior executive of america's money transfer giant pay pal said the state department had written to the company claiming the online whistleblower was involved in illegal activities so pay pal along with master card and the sat no longer accept cash donations for the controversial web site the threat of this impact on national security and we say that in the united states everybody. you know what's their pants. they do what they're told. and so i think that it's a misconception in some cases that people think that the u.s.
10:05 am
is purely a money driven society it's not the government. particularly over national security no court ruling no legal procedures were needed to crack down on the media organization i think it's outrageous wiki leaks has not been charged with a single u.s. crime and i'm saying even charged with a crime and here the nation or the country's financial institutions are taking action on behalf of our state department to extinguish this whistleblower web site later pay-pal back tracked on acting upon the u.s. government's weight class master card and the so where most of a sieve on the issue but the general explanation they give for not accepting donation payments will weaken leaks is that the site quote encourages promotes facilitates or instructs others to engage in illegal activity but on the other hand
10:06 am
nine there master card. processing donations for say no. who clarke's claim a racist movement and his. history of extreme violence with the goals of racial segregation and white supremacy and yet it takes seconds to make a donation to the klan using one of one of those i think is a visa and mastercard must be saying it's all about business right but they're not saying that when it comes to leaks and number of senators including the chairman of the homeland security committee joe lieberman were quick to pat those companies on the back for cutting off cash to weak he leaks but some can't help asking if u.s. officials are so down on weiqi leaks why aren't they after the week ulick's partner papers one other incredible thing about the prosecution is that so many people are falsely reporting that we can leaks has dumped two hundred fifty thousand documents
10:07 am
that's not true at all they only were putting stuff on their web page when you go to the new york times or der spiegel or the guardian or putting up or very useful to the united states government in some ways there is a severe slanting in the output. that is the new york times got to go through as many document as it possibly could in the several weeks or several months given to it by week you eeks to go through these documents and pick and choose those documents that were most conducive towards the new york times there's a lot of mystery surrounding wiki leaks but what's on the surface now are examples of double standards everyone is after we can leaks but not for example the new york times question is why going to shut down our t. washington d.c. . well still to come in the program here in our to your boat fit for a billionaire lauren out of the world yacht and on the wii its owner as well as how much he had to drop to make yourself. in london is
10:08 am
clearing up after the worst day of student protest seen in the u.k. for over a decade the unrest came after m.p.'s voted in favor of increasing university tuition fees in england violence flared across the british capital with government property vandalized and even prince charles as car attacked by demonstrators are reports. we're seeing broken glass a lot of people being drafted in for this cleanup operation a lot of the violence was centered around the green area which is just opposite the houses of parliament that protesters tore down fences which are now being having to be put back up again yesterday was a violent day it's now being called the worst unrest that we've seen in london in a decade miss aisles of bottles and firecrackers being aimed directly at police and it was a point in the evening in fact when whenever you saw a police motorcycle or a police car it was being aggressively attacked by protesters and also one point
10:09 am
the prince of wales charles and his wife camilla as car was attacked by protesters they were on their way. without what's being described as significant police protection as attack that car smashed one of the windows and threw paint on that car there's an investigation into how that could have been allowed to happen but the world cup will is on home and protesters are setting ball odds on why they smashed windows at the treasury and the supremum cools and interestingly to distinguish it from previous processed it was increasingly difficult yesterday to find students who condemns the violence more and more they're seeing it more as a means to an end rather than something to be condemned and something that's hard jacking that message is important to note this rise that has been agreed will treble be about that it costs students to go to university or some students attend
10:10 am
the way it's going to go up from just under five thousand dollars to around fourteen thousand dollars but that won't take effect until the next generation of students goes to university so this this is something that will really come into force in around two thousand and twelve we spoke to chris knights yesterday who's a professor of anthropology and also a season demonstrates that hardly a demonstration takes place in london without him being there and he said that he's . that's what he said for me. of sixty eight come again. paris said in prague of course young people leading the struggle for freedom and first the students moved and then the workers this is exactly what's happening here except i think it will be in a much bigger scale right across europe and of course as chris knight says this is not an isolated incident this is part of a europe wide so we are seeing this violence spreading and worsening and continuing and certainly as i say that the protesters that i spoke to yesterday all
10:11 am
determined to come out on the streets again in what some are already calling a winter of discontent well on rast has been felt across europe in response to governments unveiling austerity measures to combat massive debts sam dalmane from the adam smith institute says the crisis on the continent spells a possible end to the eurozone but it wouldn't take a genius to see that there is a crisis approaching the eurozone a major continent wide crisis i think it is probably because of the government but i think the bailout in ireland has failed to bond markets. are still extremely high and we're seeing portugal and spain creeping upwards as well so i think we're probably going to see quite a difficult year for the it's not the end of the coming months i think we need to start looking to the future and looking at how countries can return to their old currencies turn to a way that they're able to get their way out of these kind of. high or low interest kind of bubbles that the euro was creating a position where they have
10:12 am
a currency that's suitable for their own economies rather than for france and germany which is really what the euro zone project is all about. well even as one of the richest men in the world he still has to hold tight waiting for his latest luxury yacht but maybe it was worth the wait this is the new toy of chelsea football club tycoon or monitor more rich and it's called the eclipse dermod sybille the earth were a year late and delivering the new yacht which left hamburg on thursday she is the largest and most expensive private boat of her kind worth four hundred million euros and includes two healthy pads twenty jet skis two swimming pools hot tubs a dance floor and a cinema interior decor might not be to everyone's taste as all five jackets are covered in crocodile leather and. well a little later in the program we tell you how people in india are dying without even knowing the cause find out why malaria deaths go recorded and why the
10:13 am
countries to to fix don't tally with those of the world health organization. moscow police have detained a woman they believe was planning a suicide bombing the twenty two year old came to the capital from russia's southern republic of in-group according to russian security service she is linked to one of the region's militant groups earlier this year forty people were killed and more than one hundred wounded when two women carried out suicide bombings in the moscow metro both of them arrived from dagestan another russian republic in the north caucasus authorities are trying to tackle terrorism they're saying that three hundred militants have been detained or killed since the beginning of the year but despite these efforts the number of attacks is still on the rise. malaria kills over two hundred thousand people in a year in india study yes found there was huge numbers of deaths in rural parts of the country going on recorded questions have been raised over whether the world
10:14 am
health organization is not simply underestimating global malaria deaths rates card seeing reports. india's eastern state of bihar one more victim succumbs to malaria it's a treatable infection yet it still takes more lives in india than each i.v. . malaria has spread everywhere near our village no medical teams come to help us and hospitals are far away poor people like us a dying at this hospital and but many patients believe they have the parasite to infection. and i have a very high temperature and i think i have no larry i've come to the doctor for treatment because many people in my neighborhood have malaria a new study has found that malaria kills more than thirty mm dime's the number of people caught in d.s. to me to buy the world health organization since many malaria deaths occurred at home and in rural areas they don't get recorded so researchers with families and
10:15 am
asked them to describe what had happened to the victims a method known as verbal autopsy we estimated something like four percent of the deaths between one and sixty nine years of age were due to malaria and if you multiply that percentage by the national number of deaths at those you get two hundred thousand deaths before age seventy in india it's a staggering number is specially compared to the world health organization's estimate of just fifteen thousand then more fatalities it disputes the studies saying verbal autopsy responders goodness gay community is commonly found symptoms it is true that you can confused with other causes of fever however. excess the use of verbal autopsy poor estimating childhood deaths from malaria in africa so puzzled why they would think a method would work in one continent and not three thousand miles away in another
10:16 am
most medical stuff and indeed hospitals agree the number of malaria deaths is far more than the w.h.o. figure. as india faces this killer disease it's important for the government and the dup who we true knowledge the scale of the problem only then can they upgrade their disease control strategies and resources to fight malaria effectively in all its forms about and seeing. let's take a look now at some world news in brief for you this hour at least eleven people have killed after a car packed with explosives was rammed into a hospital in northwest pakistan the attack happened in a shiite muslim neighborhood police say it's likely to be an act of sectarian violence it comes just two days after sixteen people were killed by a suicide bomber in a nearby town. israel is offering compensation to the families of those killed in the deadly raid on a gaza bound aid flotilla in may the proposals in exchange for turkey's help in

welcome to business program here on our t.v. thanks for joining me hedgehogs have seen the largest net inflow since two thousand and seven with capital rising one hundred twenty billion dollars in the third quarter but now investors are still wary of emerging markets but the founder of the moscow based hedge fund says that is set to change. emerging market countries which are very strong emerging market countries have record levels of reserves. i think something like sixty percent or sixty five percent of all global reserves and when you look at the other side of the equation in developed markets if they can still even be called that. they look like what we used to think emerging markets look like so i don't think it's very surprising that we would see that emerging markets would outperform developed markets but despite this great performance over the emerging markets this service suggests that investors are cautious about allocating new model to emerging markets the figure for the third quarter was just about ten
10:23 am
million dollars so what do you think drives investors away when investors come back it's kind of natural they may come back to the core markets first before they go to emerging markets but i wouldn't think that there's anything particularly scary i think on the opposite i think the tremendous enthusiasm about emerging markets and i think you'll see a disproportionate amount of those flows going into emerging markets as we go forward. the organization of petroleum exporting countries may increase crude production but only if the price per barrel reaches one hundred dollars according to the organization's secretary general but russian news agency utah tass also reports that opec would only increase oil exports should the price increase results from a genuine shortage of oil the comments came a day before a meeting of opec members to be held in the ecuadorian capital quito. let's look at the markets now u.s. stocks opened higher on lower trade deficit with investors waiting for word on tax cut package the government said the u.s.
