sucked on oxy. four thirty pm in moscow good to have you with us here on r.t.c. your headlines anti-government protesters in libya build up their forces for by the assault on the top of one of the last parts of the country still held by its struggling leader colonel moammar gadhafi the. other nation scrambles to evaluate their citizens from troubled libya but while most ex-pats are eager to get out if you are reluctant to leave them behind the lives that they're used to. underestimate the oil rich arab nations pushes fuel prices up with predictions the

u.s. might intervene to stop its own economy from skidding into trouble. as britons prepare to tell all the latest national census there's deep concern that the u.s. firm collecting the information could push out their data to american intelligence by law are. coming up nato members spend a lot of time looking at a lining in realigning to face fresh threats over global security and it's keen to engage russia to help achieve its goals especially as ties are forged in many other ways including pumping gas into europe r.t. spoke with denmark's defense minister about how this can all be achieved. defense minister it's great to have you with us today mary clicks from

a security perspective what does north stream gas pipeline represent for a down market and from here actually i think the north stream gas pipeline is another way of getting gas from russia to europe and russia and europe is so much interlinked if we talk about the gas market because the. greatest buyer of russian gas and therefore the north stream pipeline will make sure that we can actually have gas delivered without any troubles which we've seen before and from a danish perspective we have said that according to international rules. the environment of course. had a very pragmatic and very you can say it a business minded focus on the pipeline and i look forward to have it your country was to first to allow the use of the politics here about falling place gas pipeline why i think it was because we said look we need the russian gas from the european

market. and we would like to make sure that we can have the supply and have the supplier also in terms of your time and therefore the gas pipe it's needed. and again according to international law it's only if you damage the environment that you can say no so we have no political discussions or political focus on this because we saw those a pure business approach lately for the last two or three years presently reza has been talking a lot are we being the common security zone of europe and his proposed this common european security treaty what's your take on that what's your response to the script. so i think that we can work very closely together russia and europe without having a new structure. so much in favor of putting up new structures and new organizations if the old ones aren't working so i prefer to. avoid. one thing i'm very positive about. the the russian nato council and i attended the russia nato council

meeting in lisp and in november and there was a very big focus from russia but also from nature one would have to work together because we have some common challenges we have some common threats and we have to find solutions together. and i see that as a as the way forward instead of talking about him structures you know some experts would argue that nato is a little bit outdated and it needs restructuring and. security trading is exactly what it needs to actually reshape itself in a multitude of color worlds i'm saying what we didn't respond was also that we actually think so and we made a new strategic concept for nato that's focusing on one of the challenges of the world today it says cyber attacks it's terrorism it's kyra's c. and. it's a lot of threats it's not a conventional threat and we stated very clearly that for nato we do not see any

country to be the beginning of nature so therefore it's actually reshape nature and i think that the dialogue that started and useful with russia or restarted with russia i think that is the way forward we're talking about missile defense because we also have a common threat coming from the south. and i think that's very positive move in in the way that we're working together and though it's also my experience that the russian nature of us being in the b. . threat on them or not anymore. what exactly is nader's new strategic concept mean for politics acutely. i think it's. i think the new strategic concept is so much focusing on the new threats and not not old threats and i think that it shows that we have to work very closely together in in reshaping what we are doing

and. the concept to say that well in denmark we also have to look into what are we doing with the danish defense how can we reshape the game's defense so we can act and move threats towards terrorism towards cyber attacks and so i actually use the things we decided need to also to make some changes inside the danged defense now america is a relatively small can't. have curves position and after twenty countries plus your former prime minister is now the head of nato so it's sometimes it's. this kind of thing about its weight or do you think well i. actually it's what i've seen and what i experienced was because we are so much focusing on doing having soldiers deployed to places where we can make a difference for example in afghanistan in the helmand province area for example in kosovo really only let on is covered we can encounter piracy. off the coast

of somalia and we are we whenever we decide to deploy soldiers can we make a difference and if we can make a difference we say yes and that's also why i think we are overweight because we we sometimes we say no we say well if we can't make a difference then let somebody else do it. but we think it's important to be an international player and then i say it's you don't need to be well then what is a small state instead of just a small state we have to be. smart state so i've introduced that what we're actually doing in the defense policy issues and security policy issues we choose to be smart states we choose to be involved special places around the world where we can make a difference well the thing that's in afghanistan that really is the hot spot right now and many people believe that it's completely unrealistic for nato troops to leave it's carol's time by two thousand and fourteen what do you think. i think i

think it's i think we can leave with our battle groups but i think also that we have to stay in afghanistan after two thousand and fourteen to do training of the police to do training of the african defense and afghan army. that's also why and what i see that you see that russia can play rome and i have some very good discussions yesterday with the with the vice foreign minister. where we talked about what comes after two thousand and fourteen and one of the things that we agree upon is that we need to support the african reconsolidation and reintegration process to make sure that after two thousand and fourteen that the afghans are connected seiko one of them self or even responsible for security or do also have to make sure that you don't end up having. an internal war in afghanistan and i think the russian experience from afghanistan we have to draw on that and we have to we have also learned true should she look into the lessons learned from russia

being in afghanistan the idea of the americans also as the only country to opt out of this common security and the kinds of policies that. only comes back to the maastricht treaty and it was like will a lot of the danes they have a referendum a lot of danes they voted new. she did march or sign maastricht treaty so to make sure that they might could stay as a member of the u. we had to choose some of the house and defense this one. and the euro's another. ferrous another and well i would say right now it creates some problems for me being defense minister because whenever the e.u. countries would like to discuss security policy issues defense policy issues i'm not allowed to raise my voice. which means that we'd have no influence on the u n m d say on these issues and. i would like to get it get rid of the of the opt out

but the political climate in denmark is not ready for that yes i would so therefore i have to live to look at another angle in your opinion what kind of woman bring to the table as far as global security goes there are many camps. maybe a broader focus on how do we deal with security risks and what do we actually do. i think it's very important whenever we are going to soldiers we can you know look at it just with military ice i think it's important that we see it as a whole and i'm very much making about the comprehensive approach so when we deploy troops we also have to look at a civil reconstruction and development in the countries where we have to because sometimes where we know that some wars they actually start out of poverty

it starts out because people they fight for clean water. we have to we have to take that into consideration so i think i can be more i can have a more equal and comprehensive view on and how we deal with different issues and i don't know whether it's because i've woman but i feel that sometimes i have a broader view on things well you also have reading your interest in mentioning the holistic approach is this what you mean yes exactly exactly yes. position yourself as a civilian minister with a military priest but then when it comes to security and transparency our defense minister will eventually have to choose one over the other when it comes down to it which one do you protect first. that's physical like what i do know. i know that i was appointed minister because i have civilian background and because

i don't have a military background and my prime minister was very clear saying that well you have the chief of defense who is responsible for the military things and my prime minister was very clear you don't want a general to to be the minister because then that would be some conflict between the chief confirms and the minister so i'm actually asked what my duty is to have this broader view on things and not be the one only talking about military tactics or who's supposed to be where and i'm going. all right thank you very much for this i'm trying six. good some. excellent professional. medics strive against not possessing an extra ordinary car. the doctor who

will surely get the woodwork. under a shoving. i think the police to. honest us are working on policy to speak and brilliantly. about the dutchman was injured in crisis and ghana's without a trace see themselves to six years pushed to take the lead and foster stood in the city go. and it was on his long board the rights of the women and creating confusion and the awesome defense. such did not answer was that supplants on loan from russian side rubin was i'm his second touch of the match decide their first trophy since the one nine hundred sixty three and afterwards he said he never see a goal. meanwhile in the english premier league west ham moved off the bottom of the table after an impressive three one win a time to inform liverpool on sunday given the options reds were between eight with

scott parker and denver bob maybe you know to the underside of time when johnson called a late goal back but colton calls sealed between injury time three one less time rise to eighteenth only in the drop zone goal difference the reds stay six elsewhere match the city remain third after being held long as i'm just feeling. sad later on monday stokes will take on second bottom west from the baggies have been one of the nearby rivals since one thousand nine hundred two and never return a stadium but don't worry hodgson's side of boyd calling their dramatic late leveller against walls of the courts is somebody forced to flee from my doubting that arsenal going for the home side would see them go into the top half of the table on the west brom victory to see them drawing to sixty. change of sport now and there's one girl who's been stealing the show at the rhythmic gymnastics and most go well handling pick champ in your kenya conniver training all four goals in the latest leg of the grand prix series the pressure was on conniver to deliver in front of the partisan home crowd as the sports leading lady presented her brand new

programme on the matter of pollution here in kanada was as good as impeccable with a ribbon around the clubs and though she did fall so rock performing with the ball wasn't bad enough to strip her of another gold so no rival for clive here in moscow and fellow russian alexander mccall ever coming close she claims two syllables for her efforts with the ball in the ribbon however can i ever says more work needs to be done if she is to carry her for the london olympics next year. and probably above board. well i'm not very pleased with how i perform today i made a mistake with the ball that's because i haven't had enough practice with my new routine yet but with the other pieces of operators i only commuted minor errors that just me my coach and the judges would have noticed. basketball announcers gum also have appointed a new head coach in their attempt to restore their faltering fortunes this iranian specialist yes his last is taking up the hot seat until the end of next season the

thirty six year old is stepping into a place in the need to secure live because last boss is expected to bring lots of experience to the club is something he has in abundance he's worked with both top sides back home and with national teams including life through a new hampshire greece so the task of bringing back some form of glory is now awaiting him on the russian power has failed to qualify for the euro league's top sixteen for the first time in fourteen years. and staying with basketball and there's no place like home for the san antonio spurs at the moment they recall their longest home winning streak in a single season in the n.b.a. after claiming their twenty first victory with a ninety eight ninety five eighty eight defeat of members manager billy was their star man he collected a season high thirty five points on the night of the spurs left late they were trailing by four points in the closing minutes and much intercepted and finished with a dunk into the night nineteen points but billy has the final say running straight

at parker so still cite the shot that spurs the lead and i hung onto it thanks to my free throws in the last forty seconds ninety five eighty eight is the final still. gov and he may be the new number one but not in climate lost in the final of the world match play championship in arizona as england's luke donald claimed a three and see a victory there and seasonally wintry conditions in the desert with a snow flurry stopping early on luckily not for long donald took a three hole lead on the front line but kyra caught his way back to make sure they were all square at the turn however the german couldn't keep pace after that donald with a sweet approach here on the fifteenth he went on to win all three again. and had two putts for victory on the sixteenth cami conceded after the first giving donald the biggest win of his career collecting just over a million dollars in prize money and rising to third in the world rankings. only

one american johnson wagner picked up his second win on the p.g.a. tour after beating spencer eleven in a playoff to take michael ware golf classic both on seventeen under after their final round at eleven failed to save our with this long on the first playoff hole meaning could two putt for victory and that's just what he did for this first title since victory in april three years ago now the freezing cold temperatures here in moscow didn't prevent thousands of spectators flocking to one of its parts to it was flying ice skaters and their own if slightly frostbitten causing but that of those that are watching. an impressive three hundred fifty metre long nice trick with the right to keep working must go to host the crucial third stage of the question ice world championship and the downhill international ice skating only from twenty four countries where we get to put this to the test at the toughest

venue in the history of this new sport. it's the most difficult track and some very fast but it's very challenging as there are many obstacles coming one after another that's why there are so many folds on the course it's very hard to prepare for all those tricky obstructions despite the freezing cold with temperatures dropping as low as minus twenty two degrees thousands of spectators still there to tend the events and no one was disappointed they had actually melted the ice and zero eyes were on the track russians are new to this kind of ice sport but a keen to learn quickly and available for scoping to be in some points and homegrown and he stick to major playing for a place in the final but failed to progress at the last hurdle. you might feel cross the seal unfortunately it was just too tired i was eager to produce my best result but my legs just wouldn't go but it's are hard to get prepared for such events and it's difficult to stay in top form. and so the final turn out

to be a fierce duel between current leaders are to be why anyone feel and canada's kyle cook's will be flying finn picked up where he'll left off from the previous hand dominating old the runs and people lining easily store into his second successive pick to it extending his lead at the top of the rankings. track for me and i managed to do almost five clean runs i have real problems in the final after the steep part but i actually i got my bus back i got a slow start again against slow start all night i like a little bit beat up. like every day i get on the ice and just like a little bit. next to get a better start and there were still everything to battle for at the fourth and decisive stage in quebec so it turns for it to the finish between still lining the course so isn't dissipated on the nineteenth of march because they are cheap. well that was great to watch and so i wasn't much of the cricket world cup and then

captain andrew strauss saying his side's dramatic role within the off the final ball was a terrific god for the game although he and his players have been fined for their slow running right during the match but it was an exciting contest and on the less important post of three hundred thirty eight the last fifty overs such as himself that's the sporting sevens international century in reply strasse struck one hundred fifty eight from one hundred forty five balls in front when they retire remarkable when florry with kids fell and the final twelve in for me to two runs to win friends only managed one within the schools less than one point takes them for the front runners in group a. i think we got a shot to break the fight was in an unbelievable gave cricket. here probably the best. fish deal before my you could possibly get so you know some great performances on both sides sides again. partly i could probably start.

this person i thought i. was. bringing you the latest in science and technology from the ground. we've got the future covered.
