carry out a response economic inequalities an interference in leaving the leaders of the world's biggest emerging economies put their heads together and draw a common approach to global issues. united they stab at the bricks want to build a new world economy and stop the needless deaths of civilians in libya all the details from high mountain coming up shortly. facebook twitter and panic buttons the u.s. uses technology to spread democracy in the arab world but we're intentions really

so innocent. and pakistan demands the u.s. cuts to be in the country as relations soured by drone attacks and civilian deaths hit their lowest since nine eleven. it is ten am in the russian capital you're watching. joshie welcome to the program all the world's emerging economic giants are showing a united front in the or push for reforming the international monetary institutions at a pivotal meeting the leaders of russia brazil india china and south africa or the so-called brics have also decried the use of force and words war in libya it's all part of their efforts to gain greater clout in global affairs or you know across life to refuse to serve still you who is the chinese from sort of sania for us we're gathering has been taking place but our task is sort of five countries as we

know reach common ground there strive for change so what exactly is that and what exactly what. poll today they had signed what they call the sign a declaration it's basically a compilation of all of the concerns that they've had leading up to this summit all the issues they had brought up and had given rise to the bilateral meetings that they have. so it puts together their main goal basically in a nutshell they really want greater influence as you had mentioned earlier influence two areas one is economically another is politically economically they really want a new financial model existing today of the world that will be beneficial to developing countries because they say there really is a shift at least economically it's very obvious the shift is moving from west to these regions now politically they also say that it would be very effective according to president of the that it is more effective to go on to the international stage for example the g twenty with a united front it is more efficient in a way if they have if they come together first and resolve their differences with

among each other before they presented to the rest of the world now with regard to we could all make they did go into specifics one concern they have is they do want a broad based currency reform system now the details were not hammered out here but we do expect them to talk about it we do know though that china is interested in putting forward the you want as an alternative to the u.s. dollar but of course there are a lot of issues with the chinese currency what of which is a very vocal brazil with regard to the value that they see you want be undervalued so they have to resolve this before an actual currency is presented as a whole turn added to the u.s. dollar another issue that they're all always bringing up is the fluctuation in commodity prices now this is very important to them because they are developing economies in need of food in need of oil in need of raw materials and if the prices of the structure it will definitely affect their progress now they see western countries economies as the cause of these fluctuations and let's hear from president that have said about these concerns. so

brics countries have a common approach to the reform of the international monetary fund and. we discussed the. we've reached a united position on this issue as well as bringing down the. prices of agricultural products. now of course they are coming forward with a comment to the change that they want to see but they are very insistent on say that when they come forward it is not against any other organization it is not about a rep talking another organization it really is just presenting a a mother side to the story because they want a multi-polar world a it's not it's not in aggression to existing organizations let's hear what the brazilian president had to say on this matter. were engaged in efforts to create a multi. with new supremacy over the areas of.

organized against any group of countries in fact works corporation and governance mechanisms in line with the twenty first century. so they are very careful to insist that this is not a replacement briggs's not replacing the developed countries organizations not at all it is really a matter of negotiating most of selves and coming up with a more diverse world if you will certainly a very busy agenda there as we can see but it's not only the economic matters you're seeing eye to eye on is it. certainly politics is really at a caller to a summit is has has been economic in focus now of course libya is really at the forefront the issue of libya they have come out quite strongly in their statements about the feeling that they have in nato streetlamp the airstrikes all civilians the deaths especially of civilians they really had very strong words about this it's better to hear from the russian president on this matter. and he. goes no

bitch on the brics countries russia is deeply concerned with the situation in libya and the civilian we think the problem should be sold through dialogue not force we appreciate mediation efforts of the african union and the south african president because he's. so again the echoing each other's concerns about the situation in north africa as well as the middle east india bringing that up now they also especially president that if you did express sympathy for japan this is a concern especially for china russia being close neighbors of japan india and russia did come up with. issues on how they could improve nuclear safety so this also came up also let's not forget that south africa is the new member here so they of course are saying they understand that they are smaller it ought to be smaller economy compared to the original four but they are bringing to the table access to a greater economy the african continent it's

a very interesting to see how they will come together but again they do admit that in the beginning the grouping was sort of random ad hoc and now it is becoming really a force to be reckoned with and to be listened to by the rest of the world. all right says thanks very much indeed for bringing us the update from the brics homage to certainly there. diplomats from an international conflict group on libya are calling for current gadhafi to step down and lead the people determine their future representatives from the u.s. and e.u. an arab league met in qatar on wednesday evening rebels have also made their first appearance at the summit the group called the gadhafi regime weak and said his presence threatens any resolution crisis that's been gripping the country for about two months another effort to forge an answer to civil war will be made later on thursday in cairo while the us is straining answer government activists from the middle east and north africa on how to spread democracy with the help of technology but as our team is going to reports there might be

a hidden agenda. the u.s. is providing high tech help with innovations for anti-government activists in a number of countries throughout the world one of the latest developments is the panic button according to the state department the application can be up lurid on activists cell phones should they be detained the software instantly raises the contact between their phones and sends a warning alarm signal to other activists sounds great one question and it's all done probably mungo's thanking the u.s. government for the technology are going to be groggy learners and terrorists but american officials of course quaint the best contentious saying the innovation is to protect old democracy forces in other countries to help use the technologies more effectively the u.s. has organized training sessions for thousands of activists the one held just weeks ago in the middle east included anti-government campaigners from tunisia egypt

syria and lebanon and as the newly trained and equipped activists returned home the u.s. as one state department official put it counts on the ripple effect foreign interference doesn't have to be a military invasion a bombing campaign or even or some kind of special operation on the ground in that country it can also be the training and funding and the political support given to individuals who then promote those foreign interests and that's one of the newer strategies that the u.s. government has successfully been executing in different countries around the world it doesn't consider subordinate to their agenda and it's a way to do it subtly it's it's harder to detect it it's harder to denounce it and it can often be more effective if the u.s. perceives the internet and social networking platforms as needed pools for spreading democracy and millions of dollars into developing systems to help people in the middle east in china get around internet blocking firewalls but at the same

time american companies provide. bahrain saudi arabia and kuwait with the technology to effectively block websites and when the us government purports to be spreading democracy it's simply a sham it's a pretense it's a lie the goal of u.s. foreign policy is to put its people in public office and in foreign countries the u.s. military has recently launched an online management program which enables it to generate multiple fake i get it is on social networks the false personas are designed to contribute to the flow of conversations on facebook twitter and other websites people are using social media for cyber warfare i mean that's what we're going to see more more and more of a thing from from whether it's governments or non-state actors are going to try to find ways to use the internet and social media to gain an advantage in their own battle the recent turmoil in libya suggests orchestration of twitter with fake

users only around five percent of libyans have access to the internet and the number of twitter users there is so small that analysts couldn't even calculate it yet in february this year a surge of libyan twitter accounts appeared reporting in english and virtually all begging for intervention we know that. since the beginning of the war but libyans still going to access the lives of this but those other boat people don't check this essential fact they take all this information coming here at face value which is the role of this but pretty good you trained activists provided with panic buttons and other technologies scores of foresight and it is on the air an ad spreading certain ideas the u.s. says it's all about promoting democracy but who are these the clerics in tanks and justify direct interference in other countries the mastic affair. i'm going to

and that's where we're winding up today so the people at the top that one percent are using their political power to try to preserve their wealth and meanwhile making sure that the government doesn't do what is necessary for the prosperity the functioning of our entire society. and you can watch the full interview in ten minutes time here on our team now more than a half of children in russia suffering from rare forms of hereditary illnesses die at an early age without ever getting any financial or medical help from the government the huge cost of the treatment they need is normally impossible for parents to me the problem is the money is available but it's not easy to access it as a sort of boycott now reports. they're both the same age believe in one country and they have the same debilitating condition the only difference between them is that

one was born in the capital and another one lives in a small town and there's this zip code lottery it's already defined who of them believe and who will die legged moment some others ask me if it's all worth it all those expensive treatments and the nurse told me look he's turned he's unable to talk and still wears diapers what's the point of spending so much in his treatment but i love him regardless of whether he was diapers or not i just love him the way he is this sort of prussians is pursuing mothers of children with the hunter syndrome all the time not only because these genetic condition is impossible to cure but even more so because treating it is prohibited really expensive so expensive that for many years children in russia of a country syndrome didn't stand a chance of living to middle age that is until. moderates like her forced more score thirty to pay for treatment. the russian constitution doesn't say that if the

treatment is expensive then it shouldn't be provided that if a child was unfortunate to be born in a small town he should be abandoned to allow nature to take its course. yet this is exactly what's happening with the two hundred fifty children countries syndrome in russia less than a half are receiving lifesaving drugs forty year old volodya is not one of them the build up of toxins that his body is unable to recycle has left him unable to walk and talk of the last few months he's been rapidly losing his side and hearing a lot his treatment is this method to cost more than eight hundred thousand dollars that's an exorbitant amount it could also say gazans when hundreds of people with less complicated conditions i think this money will only and may not leave conceiving this summer or this thing. dollars that apart from his war nobody seems to care about about you know not husband left her when he learned of their son's

the better mr nice paper they are majors reportedly need more time to complete talks with b.p.'s russian partners and its joint venture eighteen k.b. blocks the deal and to get the latest details right now cross line peter only that i know that he says so is there any hope the absolute deal and the strategic shares for between b.p. and most natural gas three so the situation. the situation is thursday was deadline day and we don't have a deal no b.p. have been told by the courts that they can apply to leave that they can legally apply to extend the deadline by one month and this is being reported by the very most the newspaper they were saying that this deal could be extended by one month however on wednesday night last nerve two are telling us that so far they've had no talks with the feet concerning extending that deal well deeply have attempted eleventh hour by hour bid for their russian partners they offer them twenty seven

billion dollars for their share in t n k d p this was turned down russia's bts russian partners they are saying that they have a they are long term plans and plans for the future for t n k b p well where does this leave us out the moment what it where it leaves us is that. have said this is the deal doesn't go ahead they're going to be seeking compensation of bts russian partners have already said that they're going to be suing b.p. for up to ten billion dollars to breach of contract so as this saga continues to twist and turn whether that sixteen billion dollars share swap deal will go through round every. caller it just seems that there's there's more uncertainty whether the deal will actually go ahead i think there's one certainty though in this and all of this today is the piece and you will general meeting i think you'll be hard pushed with questions certainly expected to be fielded over the sure sweet deal of the

deal with rosneft to be hard pushed to find anybody in the business world who want to switch places with the heads of b.b.c. day. peter all of the reporting there live from the ross net headquarters he said many thanks indeed. the five member bloc of the world's largest emerging economies is gathering in china the meeting of the so-called brics brazil russia india china and south africa is seen as an attempt to develop a unified approach to global economic challenges and there have been some doubts whether russia should be in the club even if it's a different level of development but jacob note from morgan stanley believes russia is a good fit. russia urban or eastern industrial or is a couple of generations ago and that sets it apart from the other brits who tend to have a young population growing population and much lower incomes because after book russia is big and it's got huge resources and it's got great potential so in the

sense of being an economy that could grow faster has great potential to put needs to undertake fundamental structural reforms to achieve the kind of prosperity you see in the developed world i think russia has a lot in common your other brics. let's look at how the markets are performing this hour after spending most of the day on the water at the nikkei gains momentum among the leaders that tech stocks with rising took a stand and an easy almost three percent in hong kong stocks cautious trade ahead of friday's inflation data from china and if you started property developers are broadly declining and made a lingering concerns over their price and future to. toss out about the this hour the r.t.s. index and flat and then my six minutes of hundred percent higher on wednesday. because the today show and taking place on the russian market is set to continue on thursday tom monday from creature explains why the market will be digesting the

results. of the u.s. department of energy inventory later for crude and extent which now that will drive expectations of rising and falling demand in the u.s. so it will still be about oil any reaction in your price to that will lead to a correction potentially i think in russia next year also you know we're only one day in front of chinese inflation data as inflation expectations rise market begins to price in tighter chinese monetary policy and now it's time to see if selling away from from risk and i could be quite bright for russian or chinese. and that was also his business some days join us from our next town.
