prices climbing again on friday after hitting a twenty eight month high on thursday but the situation of instability in the middle east and north africa continues to test investors' nerves globally for analysis and business in twenty minutes. at one pm in the russian capital you're watching r t a marina joshing devious leader colonel gadhafi is desperately clinging to power despite facing more defections from his own rule is battling to shore up control of the capital tripoli and western areas with protesters consolidating gains in the east of the country cannot be told to stay t.v. that of solomon and his followers are to blame for the uprising and claim for testers were given drugs to incite them to revolt. the overall number of dead after ten days of unrest has been difficult to determine with estimates ranging from

several hundred to over two thousand the e.u. is considering sanctions against libya for its leader of bloody crackdown well the un human rights committee has condemned the reported mass killings meanwhile the swiss government has ordered the freezer area locally held assets belonging to gadhafi of libya following the revolutionary path of tunisia and egypt experts say resource rich arab countries are an obvious target for terrorist. revolutions rolling over the arab ruled one can shove to another some of those countries are preacher a sure region mineral resources reach an oil gas and of course hard cash prize for all the jihadists so these resources can easily be used by terrorists to stage unprecedented scale attacks in many european countries and the united states the still think in terms of colonial times the. overestimate the influence over the

internal situation one first to understand the nationalism is the major driving force because of the region in those countries people see a chance of the worst to push. easily ridiculize the station and this chain of revolution will never end russian prime minister about the reporting has warned western countries against attempts at meddling in the arab world to try to impose democracy speaking after talks with the e.u. leadership he said that previous efforts along those lines had led to victories for governments the west is now fighting to contain. it was good and today we say we're concerned about things happening in libya please note the following that the north african cell of al qaeda is also concerned about what is happening in libya do you think this is a coincidence that i'd like to go back in history a little bit the former leader of the iranian revolution where he lived he lived in paris and there's a whole he was supported by the western community now the entire western community

fights against the iranian nuclear program i remember just recently our partners were very active in supporting a democratic elections in the palestinian autonomy and hamas won and immediately they declared how mass a terrorist organization and started fighting against it we need to give people a chance to determine their future themselves we need to give them an opportunity to take a natural way without any foreign interference to build their future folks that the popular uprisings in tunisia and egypt started the domino effect that spread around the arab world while there is fresh hope in it outside of the region for a brighter future and a democracy some theory it could just be a false dawn there are reports from cairo. they forgot. they bled. many died. the protesters who took over central cairo had a clear goal the removal of a dictator and establishing a free country a mortuary as an activist and one of the organizers of the revolution that toppled

on the bottom he believes that egypt can make the transition from dictatorship to a democratic state the thing is defining democracy no on terms that were here i mean everyone look at it and it's own terms but we are going to it our terms that we want to see in this country our country there does stuff that we want to feel like here there are some way of getting it and we're going to get their support for a democratic egypt has come from governments around the world however some of those leaders who have been quick to congratulate the revolutionaries may not be so pleased with the possible future for the country basically. we want democracy but we also want states that will be friendly to us and do what we want for almost certainly democracy. less comfortable for the rest of the arab dictators are autocrats are. those dictators have been swept aside by people who after years

of injustice finally had enough. the truth is many egyptians live in conditions in an interview with a major newspaper the minister for social solidarity good idea for leaks said that unless the people receive the required help that they need the next revolution in the country could be a revolution of the hungry the past years have seen the major cities in the north become wealthy while the south of the country has suffered with social problems such as unemployment and education some of the poorest people in the egyptian capital live in the area of cairo here many are hopeful that democratic egypt will help them out of poverty however others express concern that they may see the rich get richer while the poor get poorer. i'm worried things could get worse for the poor if the motor city is not implemented i pray god will keep egypt safe. while the west may have been convinced egyptians were fighting for democratic principles

they may be in for a nasty shock when they find out of the people who simply want to change peter all over cairo egypt still have a sour here in r.t. an alliance without a mission i think takes a look at how new continues to function without a clear goal or common ammi. he has his critics but ukraine's president's first year in office takes on a rosier glow after the release of new figures on the economy. i rob or stamping process that's how whistleblower during the sars described the london court's decision to extradite him to sweden on sept allegations he said the ruling didn't catch him by surprise and that he's going to appeal i guess calen for charts the rise and fall of the we can leaks founder. when julian assange emerged let's leave year ago with this video.

showing u.s. troops going down on armed civilians into reuters journalist video games he was not as a hero of transparency. and anti war ally and human rights defender r.t. america interviewed his sons on the day of collateral murders release what keeps people and more people. from going through on the stand how the world actually works. in the form of spirit to get information out about the real world and the second is to comment on it and to think about but we need sources. on the part of a nomadic computer expert with a cache of two hundred fifty thousand classified cables. catapulted into the front page of virtually every newspaper in the country working with wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks wiki leaks to his foes is a cyber terrorist and work time he's guilty of sabotage espionage crimes against

humanity he should be killed but to withstand a soft spoken as that there's the potential to radically reshape the geo political landscape by the people as time's man of the year our commitment to our forces is not just to protect. it's not just to publish the material it is to get the maximum . possible. today if the political impact of illegal and not the leaks that has gripped have been. allegations of sexual misconduct by two swedish women infighting within wiki leaks for us in fact it has started the nation particularly in the obama administration and the cia they want to start with you league's third. doing all sorts of extraordinary actions stopping. or leaning on paper mastercard and other private corporations to allow donations to be made to wiki leaks the once

heroic figure now hawking mugs bumper stickers and t. shirts to pay his legal bills who profits from the meaning of meaning. obviously it's the u.s. government which is really out to get him makes no bones about it through under the bus by the newspaper that once eagerly used his leaks initial impressions are going to. send up some red flags some in a list say assigned and wiki leaks has been effectively neutralized consumed by litigation rather than leaks i think what the american government wants is to have mr songe in custody so that ultimately he can be extradited to the united states to face charges for the release of those documents you can't court rule that julian assange should be extradited to sweden but his attorneys say the next stop for the thirty nine year old computer programmer could be here in the united states where science could face espionage charges and even the death penalty as the sun faces jail time the future of wiki leaks hangs in the balance and its ability to be

a place for whistleblowers and it beacon of transparency in fort artsy washington d.c. and i wrote a piece for the u.k. a fantasy party jared barton has hit out of the british justice system saying join us on his extradition legalize kidnap. what mr science cries does illustrates the fundamental problems with the european restaurant which i've been talking about now and it was introduced in two thousand and four he's an australian citizen and i want to actually go to sweden but this affects every british citizen and anyone who's a guest in our country and what it does it removes the fundamental rights of the english courts to protect its own citizens and guests in our country because they are not simply not allowed to look at the primer for a sheer brilliance in a cold case like this and take it into account it's what the lawyers call today to what justice and i would now so i've been saying now for some time to vision which is now called judicial surrender has been reduced to a bureaucratic formality and now i'm saying that it's actually nothing better than

legalized kidnapping well i'm just i'm going on that's been going on for a month from i haven't figured out what the charges are you an interest if i can say about what's going to happen in sweden they're going to use a very very rarely used mechanism here to try this case in secret so we won't even be able to hear what's being said what the allegations are what the charges are and all the full evidence because that's going to be done in a secret hearing which is absolutely a standing. guard biden there are a member of the european parliament for the u.k. and panels party and we'll be following that story here in our team and also remember that you can go to our website our data com for more analysis. russia has revealed details of its ambitious plan to upgrade its army over the next ten years moscow is planning to spend six hundred fifty billion dollars on a project are due south currents reports. huge amounts of money these are the large scale spending plans that are paid on felt by the defense ministry and so we need a main focus of the spending that's going to take this up to twenty twenty five is going to be the development of

a strategic nuclear weapons i know months some of the stuff that the defense is beginning to be purchasing again here on a hundred ships a thousand helicopters around six hundred planes and they submarines that again to be equipped with new generation missiles as a huge amount of purchases that against the may that she going to be the first time that russia has full military equipment from a take member is going to be purchasing two helicopter carrier ships from france that we have heard the russian government saying that is not planning on buying a huge amount for the rules but what they do you bring in is where they feel the russian military is lacking right now and then they can then fix on developments as well this is of course all part of this push by the government to modernize the military because the start treaty is now in place and that agreement between the u.s. and russia with the slash that week here also goes by does the what it doesn't say

is that the countries are not allowed to upgrade their also will say this is completely within the terms of the katie doesn't actually called you take that tool and as you said that's really been yes this is a huge amounts of money if this really needed president has come out and said that he really wants the military now is those a bit of a should other trying to upgrade and steam like that or that he feels it's not will the spendings all about. tariff reporting there and twenty years ago the members of the warsaw pact agreed to end your alliance originally formed at the height of the cold war as a terror into nato it was no longer deemed necessary once the soviet union collapsed nato carried on and as artie's lauren lister reports the organization is having trouble justify its existence. it was an alliance born of fear originally supposed to define defend western europe against the soviet union but the fall of the verlyn wall changed all that now decades later the military

nato members have been divided over the near decade long war in afghanistan nato has not prevailed there calling into question the alliance mission. there's every expectation that with the end of the cold war nato would be disbanded instead what happened in fact and in violation of even the accords and the agreements at that time was nato aggressively expanded critics say it's u.s. defense companies benefiting most from this expansion with the sales of weapons to every new nato member and the building of every new base and that growth allows other tools to be used as it's changed altered militarily to become also a very powerful. political entity that is used to pressure countries to bow down to nader's agenda nader's agenda being primarily a u.s. agenda it's an agenda some countries see as a threat and critics of that agenda right in the u.s.
