mourning europe from the u.s. to watch their backs as the world's fastest growing economies gain ground. brazil russia india china and south africa are pretty much a right as they strive to take an even greater slice of the world's economy so any further details in the people. is eight pm wednesday night here in moscow welcome if you just joined us this is the r.t. news channel my name is kevin owen and first with the russian presidential election less than a year away now public interest in who will be running for the top seat is harder than ever become true to most powerful politicians have spoken on the issue explaining their positions as cross to sara first got the details even to you what more do we know from the president and prime minister in terms of mixed year's election. present

a bit of prime minister putin has touched on the twenty twelve elections and spoke to the speculation really a prime minister putin like when he attended a medical workers for and. nothing to say there was nothing really given away but he did say other things being. i repeat president. the presidency decision will be made taking into account the economic social and political issues in the run up to the election his decision will certainly have to be made but we have almost a whole year before the election and this election really doesn't help us carry out our work. now was a little bit ambiguous on the wording. just himself and.

possibly separately. maybe because the other wording was a little bit unclear and we have heard from. press secretary. to be speculating really on the possibility of the base broadening the consensus. power in two thousand and eight other pacemaking about the fact that they've. come to a consensus about it is not. you know it's russia's party's position as well the days to. the present. day just recently to a chinese journalist is currently existing china or the maybe he was asked about the elections and he of course there is a list speculation everybody wants to know is a question that he thought the same thing nothing clear at the moment but everything's to play for the. with.

the possibility of my running for a second time at the presidential election the decision will be taken very shortly since the elections are less the league you're always looking at them his decision however should be first in second should take into account the existing social situation environment of and to and most importantly the attitude of people before making any such decisions one has to weigh their chances of actually mechanic and instead saddle up with a clear understanding of the situation but it's true. that both the debated in that same interview also touched on himself and prime minister peters personal relationship is that they knew each other over three decades they did they have one relations he did specify that they both have different editions of very different roles so that they could start the prime minister piece in today when he commented other that was really a focus to him that although the elections are less than a year away that's still

a good amount of time in the focus really needs to be in the minister to start kids as a people to be focusing on their walls not getting too caught up in this election fever that of course a speculation around the for the thing always going to be right but the commentary that i think basically as we said nothing at this time being will the course. with our correspondents like your help sara for you very much for giving us what you know. on the way on our to libya's future decided by foreign forces a nato led international group is meeting in qatar to figure out what to do with the civil war stricken country with this is an expert opinion just like. the first fatal terror attack on but a rose has been sold less than forty eight hours after it happened according to president of the shank of three suspects detained in connection with the monday metro confessed to the explosion cutter approach over the latest. gabriel open

terrorist attack has been solved the president of belarus stuff that they've got people behind the deadly blast at nine pm on tuesday in a sting operation police arrested suspects belorussian origin of the visit responsibility of this atrocity after long hours of interrogation i was investigated say they also confessed they were leading to two other similar terrorist attacks in the country's recent history in two thousand and five and in two thousand and eight i want us to get a say the breakthrough was in the c.c.t.v. footage which they got shortly after the last the video shows one of the suspects entering the virtual station a meeting of baquba which that exploded i mean all elsewhere means the first spiros have been taken place as the country tries to come to terms with the human cost of this atrocity. i started to scream for help i was bleeding heavily i'm an injured woman can't be outside in the fresh air and touch up my neck and didn't leave me

until the ambulance arrived that's man and woman might be unaware they saved not only irina but the life of your unborn child as well. the only day i was going to the city center to buy vitamins and terrible gas not only by going off not me there were people without armies with missing legs and hands i'm six months pregnant so all my thoughts were about the baby. by instinct do we know huddled to protect her baby she was lucky people spotted here in the thick smoke and didn't trample nor in the panic which others vividly recall. the train was full of parents and then there was this bang and all of a sudden fire ceiling collapsed lots of people one on the platform older but i stepped over something and then i saw this was a build body. the closest to the epicenter of the last she was only to

survive in her carriage again despite the panic others gave her a helping hand to escape the carnage from the city's busiest metro station this is where the. subway intersects and this explains why there was so many commuters cheering this evening rush hour on monday i witnessed a save those. carried out on to the street from these trails and many of those orders still remain in critical condition and hospitals across the city many years of the tag luck to both systems being lauded as people desperate to contact the lucky ones for some delays in getting through the longest moments of the lark's. monks who should call me to say there was a terrorist attack and then the line broke up when we came to the scene and saw her we were shocked it was all torn apart as if you'd been hit by a shotgun pellets almost always the hands of clothes were coming out of you she was

trying to go around you don't cry this is not my blood it shared the blood with that of others caught up in the city as the first funerals take place and means elsewhere people have been flocking to the site of the tragedy to remember solemnly and to pray biblical messages laid around the subway station are in different languages but for some even words are just too painful. that was there was the but because anything changed for you since monday. lost lives. it hurts it hurts terribly people need to understand and value every moment of their lives and remember those who died. but i can't. the explosion in minsk on the ground is the most tragic terrorist act which bell was has seen scenes beyond of the second world war completely unthinkable until the

evening of april eleventh terrorism is now agree more than a reality of these country as well on these day of mourning mathur just hopes of course our lodging in the country from around the world except in the pressure of the r t means bellows. the world's largest emerging economies are in china to take part in a series of economic and political talks russia brazil india china recent africa are also known as the brics nations striving for a bigger say in the global financial architecture but they're also said to go beyond economics to to respond to pressing international issues running of the story out east has resell it and. what these five countries really want to do was to work together to push for a new international financial model that would benefit developing countries not just a few quick numbers to show you how wide this region this grouping of countries is becoming really an important part of the the world is the world's dynamics first of all they do pass includes two of the most populated countries in the world of

course china and india and in terms of trade and their volume has reached two hundred thirty billion in two thousand and ten that's about fifteen percent of world trade eighty percent of the world's g.d.p. now these numbers may not be at their peak at the moment they do with that there's still a lot of room for improvement in this regard but the number the population itself and the potential that they hold is clearly not to be ignored by the by the world in this case the actual summit will start to morrow but there have been meetings between the russian the president and the leaders of various countries today he's been meeting with the indian prime minister the south african president as well as chinese president hu jintao as this is an economic forum big big big cannot ignore the what's happening in the world so they can't just stick to economic problems another issue of course is the issue in libya now we know that the four countries out of five that brazil russia india and china did have stayed for voting on resolution one hundred seventy three which allowed the. air strikes on libya but

some did vote in favor of that however still the consensus here is that they are not happy with what nato is doing. now well we did hear from the chinese side that it may repeat may be raised they're going to show a strong front against this move by the west all the countries here do agree that cooperation is needed not just in terms of the economic solutions they are to apply but also in the political arena especially before they go to the g. twenty that will happen in november in france now that definitely is a show. if the global politics the dynamics of the world moving away from the western countries to those countries in the regions that make up the brics while the old world order may be pumping money down the drain on war in libya the new world order is fighting battles that can be won on the world's money and. brazil russia india china and this year's new kid on the block south africa have gathered

on the chinese island of hainan to talk business and it's not just about economy it's about politics as well the brics countries do put a heavy emphasis on economic issues broader political questions such as the situation in northern africa and the middle east are also going to be hot topics for discussions to recount to stare old saying or un resolution and some to was very wise in terms of we're not going to get involved in this mess in fact when the french and the british were drastic the resolution there were serious objections from the floor talk with countries brazil russia and china traditionally it was always the u.s. and these are western nations like france and germany playing the leading roles in politics and economy but if you take into consideration the ongoing financial crisis and the fact that breaks countries comprise more than half of the world's population and pull in almost a quarter of the world's g.d.p.

it becomes obvious that a certain geopolitical shift in power is in progress or that there are several reasons these are deemed merging twenty first century europe as we all know all these absolutely bad economically politically has no it's lord stick you know you can organize all foreign policy it's a fearful continent car countries that are have been less affected by the crisis and have the european countries the united states and these are countries that are going to continue to grow if not rapidly and least moderately. while the rest of europe and united states seems to be mired in crisis european leaders themselves admit to losing ground in recent years everything that we have taken for granted for two centuries american and european dominance to the point at which most of the world's manufacturing goods most of the world's exports most of the world's

investment was done in these countries it is no longer a fact so it seems europe and the us are finally beginning to understand the emerging power of the breaks nations i think the western countries are already. strained greek economy is. expanding what with. now it's twenty and it is within the g twenty really the brics countries have been. enjoying strategy we should has been very effective i certainly think that there will be changes in the economic architecture i think that's inevitable as these countries grow while the western powerhouses continue pounding away on regimes the point and desirable a new economic and political architecture is emerging and these five countries are keen to prove they're not just another bricks in the wall it is corti china

and isolate international groups meeting in qatar to decide how to proceed with its military intervention in libya france and the u.k. want to step up the assault on colonel gadhafi and considering arming the rebels let's get latest on this gets more thoughts about it from paris by independent journalists mostly. on the program the nato led coalition has been bombing taffy's forces now for almost a month but so far as we know it's failed to break the deadlock of the civil war there over the coalition apparently determined to save the incumbent leader do you think a ground invasion is now inevitable. i don't think we can rule out groups on the ground because western interests or increasingly getting involved for economic reasons and management of engaging a scholar. region is economy so we can't rule out on the ground at this point the problem is if the western nations are trying to. shield military incursion

simply look more benevolent and the more humanitarian that is the case is way beyond that original un resolution isn't it not already. taken sides in libya's civil law does the coalition view its rules of engagement do you think now well it's bending the rules. the coalition spokespeople from the west spoke about the. un resolution one thousand seven hundred three saying that it only allowed us air support now they were mentioning right here today in doha about the resolution does not preclude. its sales they are i think slowly edging. their own populations in the world community in to again slowly accepting the fact that they will increase their military activity in libya and if that means on the ground i believe they're willing to go on the ground so no what

is the real deal here do you think the coalition actually does have a clear plan of what libya is going to look like and how it will be run off after gadhafi. well i think they have a clear objective but at this point no one has been able to execute a particular formula because there's so much confusion going on between state amounts to western allies as you've already reported today germany has one position germany wants to bring in the european union belgium doesn't want to arm libyan for libyan rebels italy and france say you know i do want to arm the united states already has cia there is a vision among the western forces however the main target is to co-opt a truly democratic ground up revolution into a foreseeable government that would serve the interests of petro using business marketing advice and nations nothing has changed what about nato support from

within we've heard about those friendly fire incidents have a coalition be sure that the rebels will continue to support nato. right now the rebels are asking for more nato support even though they grieve the more it shot over those two accidental bombings nato committed on rebel forces rebel forces are so desperate at this point they wished their chief spokespeople anyway have been calling for more nato activity to deter. these government forces from making advances in the east you know eastern part of the country so this is a this is getting to be very convoluted about good guys bad guys and nato although nato which was originally constructed to protect the north atlantic here we are seeing it and northern africa i mean exactly mo thank you for being on the program good to get your insight on this as you live from paris to thanks. well using brief

to a certain extent the institutions of economic governance that we have in the world the g. seven in particular i think that what they can do is they can coordinate positions they can understand where the coming from and they can put unified position to the g seven and to the u.s. which will make it more selective in achieving their objectives. let's have a could have the markets are performing stocks in the u.s. they raise games where financial companies posting the biggest losses that's up to date with morgan chase drop point seven percent after climbing as much as one point six percent earlier the bank has been the first to report first quarter results the commerce department said retail sales gain point four percent in march rising for nine. european stocks again rebounding rebounding from the biggest drop in four weeks the footsie finish point seven percent while the dax and the trading over eight percent higher building material shares advanced across europe shares of french telecom equipment drive. jumped nearly five percent after
