he doesn't live with all the families and we can. see people walking down these quiet and prosperous streets maybe unaware of the disturbing case of you harm or they're used to thinking of their country as fair and politically correct but would they remain just as neutral if tragedy knocks on their door here in helsinki people travel on public transport without fear of their neighbors in russia only four hundred kilometers away aren't quite thought. a troll it's only a step from extremist rhetoric to action and there is seldom a warning call by against a minority of bird or it wants to do terrible thing. is that. there are only one. who

were. there is quite a team after the past or now finland's prosecutor's office the church and some of the world's most determined terrorists you home all the way has already changed address and divorced his wife to avoid putting hurin and his children at risk is now considering a move to russia we have a double moral if you do you feel that you've even a democratic country i don't feel it's in a grouch over our tea house in key finland. well you have already was summoned to a police station off to broadcast the story we can no true to himself because i understand that you have now been released by the police after questioning today do you know exactly why you were summoned by the police in the first place. the officer personally this supervisor or minor of the people in the you know be a good state. i don't want to do some kind repeat ordains

zero eight against this it's him people. it's only what he's an explanation we should remember. also i asked. when i was in court and. who are out there who are. and his money it is that used to it. it was carson the older i didn't know they are thugs it is we and it's not only this. it's in the newspapers no cells there i am some some kind he evil who created hate puts in a whole religion what do you think there is this policy by the finnish authorities to take this stance. you know.

i think some. of this now. right that i only said police officer. why did well and respectable wait. for this political comeback. i don't know i kind of exactly know why i'm sorry all right now you've written an article and you're saying that finland this sheltering terrorists can you explain what you mean by that. and also i didn't did see so perfectly in. their. did state that everyone. but what i do all of that is to in the second day december of two thousand and ten in oklahoma supreme court he signed there. and accept their. request because one there is

a loose here. and he two parts there are two thousand two aber of those and two and now he needs a supreme court order we don't send him to rason but let's talk about your position at the moment you've been released by the police off a questioning what's going to happen next do you think you could actually be arrested once the case is examined what are your fears normal practice i am almost or optimist. and i don't think so that it will even why i need to. or something so what about your position in the church then there is. that you could be actually removed from the church is that your concern is easy to eat and they want to hurt me and my. priest and they want to. meet me while we because

they get a little where are you in danger at the moment are you fearful not only from pressure from the authorities there in front of but what about the threat from the caucuses. lauro in paris these are i so are quite well. early or brains to be put in karaka my mind is still quite who was. present at a now understand birth to our course i am to be because i'm going to leave the country to think if i have to leaf and then go but you. are i feel it's quite boring to leave here because what i need as a priest and i need concious and mercy and even begin to understand what is the suffering in russian because all these separate let me just quickly one thought or question earlier on today you appeared on r.t. in that report you were taken in for questioning now you're appearing again on r t some would say of being provocative are you not getting

a self into further trouble by talking to me right now and not sorry that there. are i feel that this is the situation east is to raise. and i must emphasize i don't think so of the whole feel at all many persons are ready to support me but silently and he says it only always there are a minority who's still accuracies me so despite just briefly we part at the finish price is very negative about you to feel that you have support among the finnish people just funny no i i i mean i feel. it's no normal little thoughts that's going after the attacks between feel and or us and always problems that we have some persons who are proceed to support these kind of extremists and when i have all been disclosed to be. very very nervous and

to this point. ok we'll leave it there you have mollari thank you very much indeed for joining us live in helsinki thank you you thank. now to other news the libyan rebels are condemning nato's lack of action in the country claiming the alliance is not doing enough to protect civilians despite the coalition's efforts gadhafi forces renewed their offensive with violence continuing in the city of misrata where residents have been under siege from government forces over the last forty days let's now talk to rob loans from the online political magazine spite he's in london thanks for joining us latino nato has been criticized by the very people they're supposed to be helping what does that tell us about the state of the campaign now. well this is actually inevitable the terms of the or which the coalition airstrikes began was that it was there to protect civilians so so what has happened is that gadhafi is mown have simply. put themselves very

close to civilians to make it very very difficult for the british and american and french planes to to attack them they won't go any further than that because they knew that they wouldn't get that resolution through the u.n. security council to try and get rid of gadhafi so they're in this position now where they're actually helping to maintain a style made between two sides and actually probably more people will die as a result of this intervention than with been no intervention at all interesting enough just really on the wires here that the pentagon says that could that is changing tactics as you just mentioned require a change in nato tactics now surely that actually going to be meaning the use of ground troops isn't it now. but i think probably the next step that's been sort of out quite a lot is arming the rebels with war equipment the move got at the moment but this is the slippery slope this is always always likely to happen either you have a situation where the nato was

a neighbor to go any further and actually just made things worse by not actually allowing one side or the other to win the fight or there's a slippery slope in which it becomes more and more involved to the point which is actually very heavily involved just as it was wrapping up and that's why won't it be they are in the next phase in this military campaign to allow despite what the u.n. did not authorize and that was of course the fact that they're interfering in a civil war and we'll see impartiality i suppose but it will actually bring an end to this that is what's needed now is not the u.n. needs to readdress the situation and allow the use of ground forces well i don't think that's going to happen because the western powers seem to be very keen to get a u.n. resolution and i know that russia and china will be very keen on further ground troops going into another country so i don't think without the support there i don't think they have the support at home either for another intervention involving ground troops are we going to be in this kind of stuck situation where. gadhafi has

made it make some progress you know they'll get shot by the nato airstrikes and they're held back by the rebels aren't strong enough to actually get rid of gadhafi either and we'll just have this prolonged very nasty civil war going on. as i said i think that's going to make the situation worse in the long run what about that the u.s. though distancing itself from this military campaign it had command of the operation to nato but just how strong do you think the alliance is with out washington actually leading from the front. well it's shows a remarkable lack of enthusiasm on the part of the united states it was very clear that all along that president obama needed an awful lot of persuasion to get involved in the first place from secretary of state clinton and i just it's very it's very clear to me that britain and france don't really have a quite the muscle to to do anything really significant and this may not be for ground troops. so it will be

a case of western powers posturing and taking pot shots for the distance without really being able to do anything to size of to settle the situation just fine i mean just finally do you think that nato europe u.s. should have got involved at all in libya and you do think that the fate of the country should be left its own people. definitely i think this is this is a very very bad move first of first of all because i think practically all in the long run to make things worse but also because it undermines the very idea of sovereignty you can't really have to without solvency the west is constantly interfering with other countries then they don't really have sovereignty ok let's leave it there rob thanks so much for joining us live here on r.t.e. there from london thank you problems from spike make a scene well now britain may now be behind the libyan rebels but lawmakers in london a few rich that their colleagues allowed weapons to be sold to the gadhafi regime as recently as last year it's among several arab nations who bought firepower from

the u.k. which of course later saw uprisings and ministers accuse them of misjudging whether those guns would be turned on civilians as they were and it now explains in other. security forces put down on rest in the middle east with rubber bullets tear gas and other irritant ammunition and they've got plenty the u.k. was still selling arms to libya just four months before colonel gadhafi turned on his own people the government ministers approving a deal for sniper rifles bullets and tear gas. so there are very strict guidelines that say where where it is likely human rights violations might take place you're not supposed to sell the weapons i would say looking back through a number of credible sources including amnesty international but it was always likely always very very likely the equipment supplied to colonel gadhafi would and could be used in the brutal crackdown to suppress protesters arms exports is big business in the u.k. valued at nearly twelve billion dollars in two thousand and nine now

a highly critical report by m.p.'s exposes the scale of u.k. arms sales to some of the world's most brutal regimes the libyan export licenses were some of the most valuable according to the report the u.k. sold nearly three hundred fifty million dollars worth of arms there in the year leading up to september two thousand and ten in the same year egypt bought twenty seven million dollars worth of small guns and electronic warfare equipment from the u.k. and bahrain ordered more than ten million dollars of guns and crowd control agents dozens of arms export licenses to the region have now been hastily revoked but still days into unrest in cairo u.k. prime minister david cameron junkets to the middle east to flaunt the wares of british arms dealers i can't imagine who was in the promised office and said to him look you can arming these dictators. for decades they've

spent most of the weapons and shooting at their own population now is a really good time to go and try and sell them some. i can't imagine what. people say. in the hands of the people who are. putting down those protesters at the moment reports also say the government misjudged the risk of selling arms to countries like egypt and bahrain but many would go much further one of the things that you've seen is a characteristic of british aid around the last ten years has been the provision of this highly militarized security sector so exactly the opposite of the hope of trying to stimulate to see we are providing the means by which the regimes can come down. since the violence began more than a thousand people have been killed in libya and dozens killed and a thousand injured in bahrain circumstantial evidence gathered by reports also

suggests much of that damage was done with british weapons when we underestimated the middle east the government scrambled to suspend export licenses but this report is evidence that it closed the stable door after the falls to both states when british weapons were probably already being used against civilians in bahrain and libya the government still hasn't ruled out arming the rebels in libya it remains to be seen whether these damning revelations will make them think twice the british foreign secretary has said that the u.n. resolution on libya made it legal to give people aid in order to defend themselves and the pressure on western governments to arm the rebels is growing with colonel gadhafi taking in his heels a string of high profile figures is speaking out in favor of the move bill clinton for instance has said he would be inclined to do it so far the u.k. is officially off the telecommunications equipment to the rebels but many suspect

help of a different kind may be on the way to your emmett's r.t. london. with more insight for you from the war. and its report he'll be giving his views in just over an hour here on. well you can catch up on the news you may have missed any time you wanted r.t. dot com plenty of other views and analysis there as well for example there you can find out about israel allowing nearly a thousand homes to be built in a disputed part of east jerusalem setting the stage for a bumpy ride for the troubled palestinian peace talks. and fifty years after a year together and beyond earth's atmosphere for the first time the latest project space travelers make their way to the international space station and for their mission at t.v. dot com. the russian prosecutor's office has given new details documents into the plane crash that killed the polish president and much of the

country's political elite investigation still underway into the tragedy in western russia last april ortiz elizabeths watched the handover. the importance of the ceremony lies within what it symbolizes the continued cooperation between russia and poland she less selfish more cools the tragic plane crash it was also a significance in that within the fourteen of volumes that we did a bit today new fresh eyewitness accounts included that were taken his recently as january and so within those fourteen volumes the russian prosecutor general's office said that they attempted to on eight requests for information that were put forward by the polish some continuing to symbolize the levels of cooperation and of course code and has repeatedly cool full more evidence to be handed a best saying that it's been a useful way to conclude it so into penzance probe do you see insufficient evidence

we have been expecting the polish side she released the results of their own investigation on the tenth of april but they have now last for a six month extension so we can expect the results of that probe in october the interesting aviation committee which will see a commission headed by prime minister got to have been approved to them which included aviation experts from russia poland and the united states to live with the results of its investigation on the twelfth of january and the commission of found that pilots error was mostly to play they say that the crew failed to respond by the time the factions who are from ground from the songs to really reach the plane to know that airfield was very cold weather conditions and also you found that the crew came in to land at home on altitude and that they failed to adequately respond to the warnings to all of the planes safety systems that the commission also did say that the crew may have been put under very strong psychological pressure to

land says no the crew members were found to be in the cockpit. at the time of landings the transcripts from the black box flight recorders show commander in polish air force was in the cockpit at the time of landing and at the international response to the findings of fact commission has largely been seen except the books are stronger people with holden say that question marks still remain they say that not enough has been done to investigate the actions of ground full staff at the airfield in smith dense could they have done more to prevent the plane from trying to land and so today certainly does come just a few days before this coming week a. commemorative events which will mark one year on since the plane crash in the events to be attended by both presidents. and reporting there from central moscow well soon will be revealing some of the secrets of the. tensions

center that's coming your way after the latest business news with dmitri stay with us for that that's coming your way in just a few moments. welcome to the program the russian business that's you would need to mention if it didn't go the booming while prices causing the russian government to revise its economic forecasts. it now sees an average world price for this year of one hundred five dollars per barrel as opposed to seventy five before this means the budget deficit will be much lower than previously forecast at around one percent in the first master product whereas before it was estimated three point six percent the deficit

by the same time the country's g.d.p. forecast a four point two percent growth remained unchanged why you can from m.v.m. banks once. the oil price is neutral or the money goes away. the only of which is very significant for the economy grows is the capital flows in the revenues created was overpriced in the past i can relate it into the study decisions one. means that this amount of revenue is neutral for recovery grows after the grossest we have an increase in for revenue to give this huge capability to have a neutral in becomes economic growth so it is afflicted exactly in the forecast of the g.d.p. for just over eleven. so you look at the current price now a correction has stepped in and we're seeing a slight decline both for brands and for light sweet crude has been around for showing us oil supplies and expectantly for the last week which was further

supporting the market will therefore we're seeing a slight correction along with continue concerns about unrest in north africa and east brant crude did see a new thirteen months of one hundred thirty twenty three dollars per barrel whereas light sweet crude still above underneath it. now seems the same quarter also capital says there are other industries and sectors of russia's economy that could also benefit from increased oil prices. in addition to means is a rather substantial domestic police who said to belittle aspersions those who have . as a rule the search to strengthen this is a constant and see cause from those. who will cause but most major beneficiaries will be as i mentioned the really banking sector the telecom company which has been doing quite well as beacham tears recently roasting a coke can we were six dreamgirls the factors i would seem for

a structure company or something. a construction company is also some of the benefit of this has been visible in the market in the past few weeks and from a retail consumer names would also do world money it was very strong earlier this year with being the exploitive could start catching up as well so overall you know the overall we've. seen in the course of the second quarter to come through the quarter and b. grade you had there recently cation and gradual shift of large boost to show money in free will so sectors progress look up the stock markets u.s. markets they are edging slightly higher just turned down to twenty three percent past that point one percent among the biggest gainers our sister group at american express. twenty two a russia now markets were gaining at the close are three s. up one percent nice up point six percent blue chips all across the board we're

gaining on both courses take a look at some of the. energy majors. strong oil price lukoil up one percent polymaths out up more than four percent on the back of record high gold prices and last article and two and a half percent here's michael stein from across a bank. well stocks are stronger mostly because of the improvement in oil prices with oil hitting one hundred twenty two dollars a barrel the silver pump. these are polling matal public schools are both up more than four percent because underlying silver prices are up strongly against a hitting new record highs we saw weaknesses in x five retail company on speculation of the company i mean merged with a global retail giant in a move which would dilute the company's exposure to the fast growing russian consumer markets and that's why we will be back next hour with an update bill is next without a license they were about to. jump
