again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. for asians are today. finnish priest is charged with inciting a racial hatred after an interview with our t.v. which you see the man behind major bombings in russia and criticized the terrorists' internet mouthpiece. so senior libyan opposition fighters are reported killed in a nato airstrike a major you control the oil field has also been destroyed by the coalition is calling the true motives of the alliance into question. while the i assess crew prepares to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of her first trip to the final frontier those staying on earth to share their own boldest space aspirations.

worldwide news from the center of moscow this is r.t. now a finnish priest is charged with inciting a racial hatred after speaking out against russia's number one terrorist a lot of news internet propaganda all of this during an interview to us here at r.t. the pastor also claims he's been receiving a constant death threats from the leader of the chechen militants however finland authorities insist that the priest is the real criminal here to use it because the reports. say you from a liar is being prosecuted for inside seeing really just hatred and for publicly criticizing what the finnish authorities describe as illegally all praising organizing that is because central russian political dissidents for those of all the years may not know what the organization is all about this is

a media outlets and internet websites which made itself the name by being among these books terrorist bomb are these much site is banned in russia as well as in a number of other countries across the world but in finland it enjoys what it costs . location will hold each night and in downtown houses. quarters all these organizations are in the very central to see now you have the lhari was the first and the only man in films to hold police say that this was outrageous and that finland should not shelter extremist organizing he was not really surprised when after a short while he was getting death threats from people members of these organizations and those letters was signed by bill who might if you saw what he wanted please please him phillis him to be a little interested in. peace it came from. and here's a. terrorist and some body then it was interesting to me

that david got my head away if i told you know my fight. you do any personal investigation here these cyprus and the. british police don't choose you they are. is the president of the government and therefore. responsible person responsible person is going to go down a short recap of who these responsible person is some of us must know when atrocities are they ask express train bombing in two thousand nine. hundred twenty town and most recently the attack on the country's largest airport the idea of the nakumatt of his not only russia's most wanted man he's also on the internationally stuff terrorist the us wasn't acknowledge that he has links to al qaida so with all doesn't mind what is the phrase indeed persecuted for side

obvious facts which the rest of the world knowledge is for calling a terrorist a terrorist but finland deems these that as a prudent want to. double standards promote international terrorism that's the opinion of the head of russia's state duma security committee you're not a good cough officer so it's alarming that finland is among the countries which call church and chair a liberation movement. that terrorism is terrorism no matter how it's disguised it is a minister all of mankind double standards are the reason terrorism still exists once a country labels militants from illegal armed groups who commit terror acts against innocent people as terrorists for another country to claim them freedom fighters is just despicable i never expected anything like this from the finnish authorities. now moscow was on high alert after two bombs were defused in a separate incidents the first bomb containing almost half a kilo of explosives was taken from

a car stopped by traffic police the driver of the north caucasus origin was arrested he was also carrying a pistol and follows the arrest of a member of the international terror group islamic jihad in the capital on wednesday the man who was caught with an explosive device in his vehicle. well still to come here on r.t. marketing and conflict the us tens of millions of dollars to justify its wars have brought to the people in those countries we look at why what islands makes a tough sell also. fresh move to living in the past behind russia gives poland newly declassified documents that may shed light on the nine hundred forty cats in. the libyan opposition claims that nato has had one of the tank positions and near the oil town of brega reports say thirteen people were killed in the strike meanwhile the rebels have sent their first crude oil shipment to cutter policy in our reports from the capital tripoli.

rebel fighters are the people who nato is supposed to be assisting in their advantage waste words but we're not hearing that a major is strike has struck the frontline position possibly killing as many as thirteen opposition fighters that happening on the frontline outside the city of brega in the east of this country not eyewitnesses say that the rebel fighters are retreating quickly to the town of a double which is some seventy kilometers away from benghazi which is the headquarters of this whole rebel operation that they would treating with their injured that they were treating with vehicles that had weaponry on them that there ambulances on the scene and that they leaving behind a number of destroyed tanks a number of destroyed ahmed vehicles now nato has responded by saying that it is aware of these claims that at this stage we have and they have no more information than that this follows an earlier strike or what the libyan foreign ministry says were british planes hitting an oil field in the south east of this country now it's

not immediately clear what was the target because city an oil field is not a military target it was some here in tripoli suggesting that perhaps they're trying to stop the production of gadhafi zoila perhaps purines him from being able to access the money he gets from that to continue with his military operation but three guards were killed in that strike several people have been injured now the foreign ministry is calling that an act of aggression it's a sort of violates international law it also violates that u.n. resolution one nine seven three which actually sanctioned foreign intervention in this country in the first place increasingly in nato is bearing the brunt of criticisms from both sides the rebels are saying that nato is not doing enough to assist them they point out that only fifty percent of the duckies military might has been destroyed in these airstrikes and they say that they want more into mention on these coalition powers that the tripoli government has consistently accused nato of actually taking sides in this operation it says that it is

facilitate. a civil war and it also says that it is very clearly not helping protect civilians but rather it is increasingly seen more civilians being killed my colleague igor piston not who is based in benghazi it's course further the whole phenomenon of the role of nato in this. veteran of the libyan army moved any sort of he's going all the way to retirement but now he's fighting for the revolution and is a modern if you rebels at the front with military training and experience. the forces are not even we are ready to face the jets but with these weapons we don't stand a chance against gadhafi since needing to control the north bros on operation it's going to mean more than one thousand sorties in from maybe including four hundred technicians the u.n. screens around a third of going to at least forces have now been destroyed with the sport help

from the skerries on the ground to the rebels are still taking abounding. lead to a field there are civilians in misrata and we do really have to mean more interest and yes they have been doing taking proper actions against the could by a few troops from the rebels taking the town of brogan means clearing the way west i just wanted seemed the door stop it will reach down a new series of mortar attacks by going to his forces you already can retreat. just a week ago it was a revolution me mary seems the entire seat please need to support the front line kids to that list of those missing can be it seems to me over your life history and tactics it's crazy as well protests like this one are becoming common seen many are accusing the feeling to protect civilians they

are asking for help anymore demanding it. their way to fall for gadhafi to kill is still we demand a new u.n. resolution which would allow us. but experts say arming the rebels alone wouldn't help so when the war with the rebels need is not so much arms they can use arms training i mean there are reports on our servicing that the u.s. and egypt are. going to be forces going beyond them and the will be un resolution that established a new north wales are you going to sign off or eat in the media. international involvement in libya is it directly connected with the interests of big corporations of us according to the former governor of minnesota jesse ventura his interview is coming up in about a twenty minutes time but for now here's a quick preview. he has oil so it's very important to get your

oil how could we didn't intervene in rwanda. we should all the documents in our book on that rwanda you have the genocide of nearly a million people nor would you lifted a finger because there was nothing to go in there for that they could for lack of better term rape pillage mineral wealth or your or whatever else a great national corporations would be. and then you can see that interview in about twenty minutes time and see now as the u.s. and nato are broiled in conflicts all around the world it is another campaign going on alongside with millions of american taxpayers' dollars being poured into a nazi is that laurent lister now explores the information or being waged on local populations. the reality of war the wars health benefits why you only go to war and perhaps

a little interest here national security it's one reason why coalition forces do battle with an information war to fight alongside the real one playing out on the ground in afghanistan for example so what's not widely known by these milestones along restored american history we have surpassed the soviet camp. and there we have spent. a lot of money but instead carries this message to the morning after the welcome to the new day of hope and reconstruction in the war torn region which accommodates conflict with the peace that's the nato version told in this promotional film it was given to international journalists like myself at the annual nato summit presumably to spread the message public relations after it's like these are nothing new and commander of the nato forces the united states spends billions of dollars alone to market its version of the war to the world including p.r. at home and abroad u.s.

funded media as well as psychological operations for example a leaked classified cia document revealed a plan for ally it's a quote strategic communication program across nato troop contributors that could provide a buffer if at the becomes opposition to fight declining public support for the war from france and germany the cia tapped afghan women as the perfect messenger to make an emotional appeal about the taliban and professed their aspirations for the future as this woman does here. so the media picked up on this message to hear time magazine equates pulling out u.s. troops from afghanistan with brutality against women however you are about this poor girl this happened while he was troops were there. and it's not clear efforts like this even work it's absolutely impossible to tell but i would be willing to suggest that. it's very ineffective i mean while hillary clinton says the u.s.

is losing when it comes to broadcasting its message abroad on state funded t.v. stations unfortunately we are paying a big price for it even though the u.s. is spent one billion dollars alone to broadcast its message to the arab world where it's over. or through the state news network. the network has locked in just half a percent of you worship god may know we're all showing perhaps you can't sell a war welcome to the new day i must say you have a buyer lauren mr r t. if you do remember you can always catch the latest stories on the recipe goes on our website that's artie dot com and you'll find we've also got a lot of in-depth analysis updated all around the clock it's a look right now at some of the stories waiting for you what are you talking called going beyond the call of duty to the russian policeman who dug up a body in a cemetery and brought it to his office office suspecting foul play itself out i'm

the full investigation into what happened. can't seem to get happened in one nine hundred forty in the forest near smolensk in the west of russia where twenty two thousand trollish officers were killed by a soviet secret police know it the east union has denied involvement in the massacre for many many years blaming the killing of all if they are not teaching only however in eighty ninety. admitted that soviet forces had been involved in those killings now this led to a warming of relations between warsaw and moscow that warming of relations is taking a turn for the worse in recent times following last year's plane crash. which killed . ninety five others including many senior members of the polish political elite now that plane was actually on their way to the team to take part in a memorial service that had been hoped could work towards russia and poland putting

the catty muscle behind them and moving on is two countries we saw documents handed over regarding russia's investigation in that crash to poland as the investigation continues into what happened there. are new stories making headlines around the world this hour six children ten more wounded in an attack on a police training center afghan city of kandahar three suicide bombers blew themselves up inside the compound which was stormed by militants the taliban has claimed responsibility kandahar is seeing a mounting violence in the war on terror in afghanistan with dozens killed around the city in recent weeks. in ivory coast forces loyal to the internationally recognized election. to the incumbent leader's residence. to drive from the presidential. where he's been holed up in the country's largest

city of abidjan france says that defiant politician has a less than a thousand troops at his disposal every two negotiated by bowser departure have so far failed as he still refuses to step down. as portugal admits it cannot keep its economy afloat the eurozone is finding itself coughing up yet a third bailout package following a severe but unsuccessful austerity cuts lisbon will now take on more debt and the e.u. set to loan it more than a hundred billion dollars tempers in the eurozone are still volatile over the bailouts of greece and ireland. and today max kaiser and as they see her but beyond the superficial optimism around the u.s. economy and they also explore the secret ties between big banking and big drugs we'll be bringing you the kaiser report in about an hour's time but here's a preview. let me tell you something

stacey i remember just very vividly when i was working on was the 1980's every friday i have cocktails on park avenue and watched this parade of limousines traveled up park avenue into the basement of citibank everyone knew this was money that was being loaded by citibank from drug money this was an open secret nobody doubted this so i'm glad to see now twenty at least twenty twenty five years later people are beginning to understand that the global financial community the global banking system runs entirely on cocaine. because reporters coming away about an hour and ten minutes or an hour to you know let's do a story here that is quite literally beyond earth russia's soyuz spacecraft has successfully docking to the international space station two russians and american will spend five months there bringing the total i as crew to six the flight was dedicated to your ignoring the first man in space but it took place just a week before the fiftieth anniversary so it was

a legendary voyage and its artists are silly records even today and his legacy is an expiring in new generations to follow their dreams. astronauts spend most of their lives preparing for the possibility of going to space now a russian cosmonaut for example takes about two hundred fifty exams we are and that's a different toward the physical training we have to go through but aside from all the hard groupings men and women put into their professions one of the thing they fear is something a little more romantic and that's an unwavering a childhood dream of literally read for something big aspiring cosmonauts retire watches intently as a so you see i'm a twenty one spacecraft is due to its vertical position and only fourteen he's so certain about his future that he's already made headway he went to the u.s. and became the first youngster to spend fifteen minutes floating in the zero gravity environment cost would not strain him so my look with you. plane was going up i thought the from the weight of my body as if i was drawing for you i could

hardly move my hands this early start is something the first man in space utica got in could himself have related to and his fate fifty years ago marked the beginning of a long list of achievements in manned space exploration. for walking on the route. to building the massive international space station. but it doesn't stop there next possibly a hotel in orbit yet another space dream. for this hotel project there will be four rooms at the station with enough room for seven people there will be to be the limit it is so that everyone can observe the earth and stars of always wanted to become a cosmonaut that didn't happen but now i'm sure that one day i'll travel to space a tourist price tag is a hefty thirty five to forty million dollars but there is

a cheaper alternative another project aims to send space tourists to lower earth orbit where they'll spend five minutes in zero gravity and see the planet in its entirety for two hundred thousand dollars the whole goal is to simply groups of people to one hundred kilometers above ground with they'll be able to seal planets and of course it was with their own eyes to do this they plan to use the ability of this plane to carry cargo on its body the plane will take off with a small space shuttle which will be released at a certain altitude but arguably the most a business of space projects is the mars five hundred experiment simulating a voyage to the red planet in the event this global ambition becomes reality and when that time comes young sergei is certain he'll be ready to take on the challenge now on mars i want to be the first to travel to mars and to other planets as well as the means of jupiter saturn they say you can live there in future. and like many space men and women he believes it will only be

a matter of time less or cilia r.t. but i couldn't stand ok you know up to date or the latest headlines hereabouts here let's get the business news with the victory. and welcome to business r.t. is good to have your company interest rates in the eurozone have gone up for the first time in three years european central bank has raised its key rate twenty five basis points to one point two five percent this move is likely to put more pressure on single currency nations struggling to pay their debts among their portugal which is finally asked for a bailout from the e.u. that may amount to seventy five billion euros when you've got countries that are hearing two or trying to get it or stir as you do is increase taxes and reduce public spending when you try and impose increase interest rates on them as well as just another factor that's going to hurt them as well so i don't think they're

entirely ready for it but there doesn't seem to be any true choice of the moment and certainly the sea be not factoring that into account when the window of raising interest rates. russia's consumer confidence has declined in the first quarter of this year following the gains at the end of twenty ten the index of consumer confidence felt three points to minus thirty but it klein was driven by raising commodity prices and the poor harvest pushing inflation above nine percent disposable incomes turned negative in the first two months of the year after sixteen months of gains. through to the markets now starting with commodities oil prices are relatively flat after five days of gains and concerns about the client in demand from the u.s. and china however this still support coming from the unrest in the middle east and north africa west texas light sweet is just below one hundred and nine dollars per barrel brant is just below one hundred twenty two. let's look at the stock market
