goals in the region. as waves of public rage sweep through north africa and the middle east world powers jump on them as many analysts say in an attempt to direct the waves of unrest in a way that's most favorable for them in libya forging relationship with the opposition so that if gadhafi goes their people there to do business with as syria particularly raph gather steam some experts say western powers might see the advantages of getting involved there to these three countries. are the main countries that will not align themselves automatically to the global coralie or the western powers are interested objectives in more of africa in the middle east as for example. or used to with hosni mubarak and definitely kuwait saudi arabia syria is iran's closest ally in the region and the cost to support the revolver in syria affan com was mentions of you ran syria is obviously

a strategic ally for iran in the in the region and without syria iran loses their their bridge their land bridge to lebanon and they're hit hezbollah in force and so of course hezbollah would suffer if the syrian regime was to fall and that would destabilize iran and weaken its power in the region which would be an obvious benefit in the end all american forces some expert even believe that destabilize ation is part of a strategy the west perceives in the region we are seeing reflect a strategy which includes amongst other points the generalized weakening of the sovereign nation states and sovereign genes in the arab world in order to try to isolate iran. very few perhaps no friendly countries in the region and that will erode pretty much alone at least in the arab world and will facilitate further turmoil inside iran although the u.s. secretary of state has ruled out america's involvement in syria for now the

country's defense secretary card for the syrian army to quote empower a revolution and follow the example of egypt's military syria. some weight they were raised. to saudi arabia many say to rand though it would be a tough call and no matter how much washington would want the regime there to fall for now it's seen as a mission impossible i'm sure that there are some in the u.s. who would love to attack iran and there are others who would like to take over the iranian opposition i think they know that the iranian opposition is not so fond of the united states they have a long memory in iran people remember the role of the united states in overthrowing the precursor to the shah of iran overthrowing the democratically elected government of most of their back in one hundred fifty three so i don't think the u.s. would be welcomed and i think many in washington know that with libya being torn

international community has no going to say whether or not gadhafi misstate will leave the problem is that the opposition as well is really an international community would simply cannot accept a certain deal that would still see gadhafi and members of his family involved in the leadership of this country the italians are now the latest to join the party after the french and the qataris to say that they officially recognize the opposition as the magician of the voice of this country and tripoli has with gratitude for its decision been stated aversion has been showing pictures of gadhafi he is outside his compound reviews saluting his supporters but we have no way of independently verifying exactly when these these photographs were taken but certainly here in tripoli there is a sense of increasing frustration and the first time we are hearing members of the public beginning to speak about the possible downfall of the duffy and this is largely triggered by the shortages of fuel and the long queues outside shocks me people are simply trying to buy the basic food items as far as the fighting on the

one thousand nine hundred three where no russian vessel was ordered off landed or stock discharging nuclear waste into the sea of japan and japanese government was released and led the charge for a ban on all nuclear company at sea well the ocean currents and in that part of japan mean that in the in the first instance the contamination will spread north and south of the coastline from the fukushima plant which means to the very cause that being devastated by the earthquake in the tsunami so that's going to add to further unease on the part of the people living in. the longer term to redo nuclides particularly cesium which is a half life of thirty years old christine romans for many many decades and i think that the admission that they haven't really got the situation under control is what we see today. as a panic we are to consultants shonn greene talking to us from germany our palestinian engineer has been charged with organizing terrorist activities by

been an ordinary engineer and i believe he has always abstained from politics and daily for young fighters his only involvement in biology was that he watched news and journalism but that is harder when it's and not terrorism i'm sure israel wants him simply because he knows everything about the only power station in palestine where he worked because i would see she went missing in ukraine in february allegedly kidnapped on the train a month later the israeli prime minister confirms that the man was behind bars in israel eyes turned on must start israel's intelligence is known for striking without warning last year as suspected hamas militant was assassinated in dubai without the consent of the emirates security service for him to this type of thor it is unclear also raise their eyebrows in the school drop an. intelligence service turned to us just resting a criminal and received no notification of any special operation either the experts

same t.v. whole process that we saw them getting out of the floor of the facility first they left the signatures on their doors as had their treat assessors and then the walk to the aisle to the crowded bay we saw them in their space suits very interesting to see if their gear i would say quite an emotional farewell to the people what we've inherited by some of them but this is a very special mission if you will because this is happening close to the fiftieth anniversary of you to go out it's a first space flight happening right here with what they call the guardian start this is where it all began with nasa astronauts on who are gone garrett in his words has said that fifty years ago that's a mankind became a different species that you were able to go beyond the boundaries of.

available but here's a quick taste of what's waiting there right now. if the latest space launch and a coming out of the worst story of good are in spurs why have you feeling out of this world we have something more for you new data collected by an international group of astronomers is casting doubt over a fundamental theory of astrophysics. and fact here on earth scientists have discovered a new form of material in the ocean which apparently consumes manmade trash but all the details are. right time now for business of dave can really count us here.

hello and welcome to our business bulletin good to have you with me and we're proud to our top story libyan rebels have started their first oil exports are independent of colonel qaddafi's regime who prizes the recently hit a thirty months high of continued unrest in the middle east and increased demand from the us peter weston at abseiling believes reserves exist to cover any loss and supply but says prices will remain high. i think it all depends on how isolated events in the middle east north africa becomes because at the moment if you look at the countries where you've had you have protest and where there was no we have a war in libya egypt have toppled but if you're looking at the countries of currently and have had some kind of turmoil you look at about five point five million barrels a day if production were to hold completely that is more or less opec's paragraphs

to at this point in time so from you know in theory you could all go you know they could put on the top quite easily and sort of patterns to market but at the same time one has to remember that even three months ago regimes like the egyptian one and the villepin one who considers me still this creates a lot of uncertainty surrounding saudi arabia which is spending a lot of money to calm down the situation in their own country but as long as that risk is there you would always have this pressure on the world that's for sure that will be the stupid little premium whether that's ten dollars for that's thirty dollars i don't know but it's going to be there for quite some time. now let's have a look at how the stock markets are performing japanese stocks move lower with cautious pushing the market down that's right postage to go to will temporarily shut down all of its north american factories do you think shortages of parts from japan shares have to go to holland and this sad have slipped around two and a half percent in hong kong the stock market is closed for public holiday

everything is today's closing figures now here in russia the markets have reversed their opening of ransom and are now trading in the red pushing in this is down our energy stocks with key oil major like look or else they have losing around one percent that's our. question billionaire rico prokhorov plans to hold an i.p.o. of his jail a night in company on toronto stock exchange that's according to the mysterious paper the listing will reportedly take place by the end of the year and involve the sale of ten percent of the shares in trade joe is also said to be seeking a valuation of around three billion dollars in the sale. investors will still try and sort of the digest the news and the sort of the noose around surrounding the potential of excluding leaders from board of directors of course is not a given it's because it's a proposal if you want. the other things that will impact the market is clearly the

hot spots that we have around the world this kind of calming down we could just to have uncertainties in europe is do have the middle east that clearly is impacting gold prices which i'm on how this is going for russia if you see higher oil prices but it will be the global events that will matter because to rush times to move very strongly with with the global events that's for the domestic side it's going to be more news coming out regarding cost cutting state of companies and more news for guarding surrounding the potential of excluding government officials from the board of directors so the prices have jumped to their highest in thirty one years as oil prices helped fuel investment demand for the process metal is now close to forty dollars an ounce analysts say that it is the inflationary pressure that drives itself as a rally i think what you're seeing is investors across the world. slowly but surely realizing that inflationary pressure is so globally are building up and what silver is that it's just like gold performs the same function as a store of wealth if you have money to you want to make sure doesn't lose its value

or you would buy gold or silver to protect yourself from an inflationary issues also there's much more volatile than actually silver prices performed gold in the past couple years the world bank for the past decade a very very loose in terms of monetary policies and governments at the very least in terms of their fiscal policies so you have a lot of the ball you move money and it's basically been pumped into the system over the past ten years that money really has me taken away so by definition if you have investment i mean picking up and you know all of this money in the system you're going to have inflation is really no way around. that's your take for this hour but remember you can always buy more stories just log on to websites that business districts.
