4:02 am
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 and politically they also say that it would be very effective according to president of the other it is more effective to go on to the international stage for example the g. twenty with a good night from now are with regard to we could obviously with this go into specifics one concern they have is they do want a broad based currency reform system other details we're not have 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 of alternative to the u.s. dollar so these five countries have agreed that we do want to see greater influence economically by taking more part playing a bigger role especially in the international monetary fund and the world back. so brics countries have a common approach to the reform of the international monetary fund and the bank we

discussed in this. meeting we've reached a united position on this issue is what is bringing down the volatility of prices of agricultural products there of course they are coming forward with a common agenda with the changes they want to see but they are very insistent i'll say that when they come forward it is not against any other organization it is not about a rich attacking another organization it really is just presenting a another side to the story because they want any more to the polar world. ring gauge an effort to create a multi institutional order with new supremacy over areas of. organized against any group of countries in fact. corporation and governance mechanisms in line with the twentieth century certainly politics is really. he added color to that is has has been economic in focus now of course libya is really
4:04 am
at the forefront the if they have come out quite strongly in their statements about the feeling that they have in nato street had airstrikes civilians a death especially of civilians they really had very strong words about this it's better to hear from the russian president on this matter. like other brics countries russia is deeply concerned with the situation in libya and the civilian we think the problem should be solved through dialogue not force we appreciate the mediation efforts of the african union and the south african president is against these because 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 as are still your reporting there from a chinese resort of sania were the world's major developing economies have been meeting. the libyan crisis is to dominate the talks of nato foreign ministers as they meet a girl and later on thursday the u.k.
4:05 am
and france have been pushing other allies to increase the military pressure on colonel gadhafi ahead of the meeting especially for him contact group on libya called for gadhafi to step down and let the people determine their future you know while the u.s. a straying anti-government activist from the middle east and north africa and how to spread democracy would help with technology as archie's going edge to count reports there mind 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 uploaded on activists cell phones should they be detained the software instantly raises the contact book in their phones and sends a warning alert signal to other activists sounds great one push of a button and it's all gone probably among those thanking the u.s.
4:06 am
government for the technology are going to be drug dealers and hurts but american officials of course quaint the best of intentions saying the innovation is to protect hold'em ocracy 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 including anti-government campaigners from tunisia egypt syria and lebanon and as the newly trained and equipped activists return home the u.s. as one state department official put it counts on the ripple effect line interference doesn't have to be a military invasion or bombing campaign or you know some kind of special operation on the ground in that country it can also be the training and funding and 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 that it doesn't consider subordinate to their agenda and it's
4:07 am
a way to do it subtly that it's harder to detect it it's harder to denounce it and it can often be more effective the u.s. perceives the internet and social networking platforms as major tools for spreading democracy and pumps millions of dollars into developing systems to help people in the middle east and china get around internet blocking farwell's but at the same time american companies provide. bahrain saudi arabia and kuwait with the technology to effectively block websites 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 identities on social networks the false personas are designed to contribute to the flow of conversations on facebook twitter and other websites
4:08 am
people are using social media for cyber warfare i mean that's what we're going to see more more and more of i think 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 is just 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 of this year a surge of lead in twitter accounts of peered reporting in english and virtually all begging for intervention we know that. since the beginning of the war but libyans the longer have access to it but those sugbo people don't check this essential fact they take all this information coming here at face value which
4:09 am
is the role of purpose ricky. craned activists provided with panic buttons another technologies scores of false identities on the air and spreading certain ideas the u.s. says it's all about promoting democracy but who these declared in cancun is justified direct interference in other countries domestic affairs. i'm going to check our reporting for washington our team. will still have for you this hour here in our reaching out we fall for you of the rush hours whose children are not only suffer from a rare disease but they also have the added burden of fighting for government health and financial support. relations between the u.s. and its ally pakistan the fight against al qaida seem to be on a brink of collapse covert cia operations drone attacks and civilians deaths have prompted islam of art to rebuke washington and demand it reduces its presence in

4:14 am
believe and who will die live moment some others ask me if it's all worth it all this expensive treatment and the nerves they 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 questions is pursuing mothers of children with hunter syndrome all the time but only because these genetic condition is impossible to cure but even more so because treating it is prohibitively expensive so expansive that for many years children in russia did hunter single didn't stand a chance of living to middle age that is until and mothers like her forced more score thirty to pay for treatment yet the russian constitution doesn't say that if a treatment is expensive then it shouldn't be provided that if a child was unfortunate to be born in a small town you should be abandoned to allow nature to take its course. yes this

4:16 am
just to weak up and see him breathing sometimes he smiles and it's the greatest gift for me i knew but she didn't is extensive and i knew this money could help me and the children but he didn't choose his condition and he also deserves to live the russian president recently suggested that a hunter syndrome be added to the list of illnesses treated exclusively at the expense of the federal budget and move many in the medical community say is long over due. when there are between six thousand and eight thousand threat on a search and the treatment for many of them is to you either nonexistent or too expensive of the rarity of the owners definitely shouldn't be a criterion for providing medical assistance to these kids and so much pain and then entitle to treatment just like children with food or chicken pox bursting goggles is something that these mothers have longer to use to when they give birth to their children they all dreamt of their becoming someone grade and it was only
4:17 am

4:22 am
welcome to business sassy thanks for joining us ross never has given b.p. another month to make it down the aisle but third the british oil major needs a divorce from its current russian partners the deadline for the sixteen billion between rosner ten b.p. has been extended to may the sixteenth and this is to give b.p. the time to resolve its differences with the other heart of t. and k. b.p. are currently blocking all moves and threatening litigation to discuss how this might happen are drawing lie here in the studio by creasing we've got chief strategist at you're all said this to thank you very much indeed for joining us here in the studio so earlier business hours he spoke to you about two months ago about big deal. and you actually were convinced it would go through have you changed your opinion now you know i still think this deal is going to go through you know the deal between the proposed between b.p. and rasner is very much in russia's long term strategic interests of russia wants
4:23 am
to develop the arctic and needs the involvement of foreign oil majors b.p. is the logical partner in the deal so i think the fact that rust after having threatened as it were to the cancer of the deal if b.p. in origin resolve the dispute by today has now given another month does show that they really want this story may go up to millions of course what sort of negotiations are taking place will be about the price of course the valuation you know steve you know has made it very clear from the outset that you know the deal between b.p. and rosneft is damaging to its interests as a fifty percent partner in g.m. kerry and you know either wanted to be closer into the deal or i suppose once to be taking out a fair price and we certainly been hearing over the last couple of weeks that the causations have centered about around what valuation. and. a stake in t. and k.
4:24 am
it can be ok or what values could be applied to that for some sort of an exit and that seems to be the sticking point right do you think ego sections of resignation section is russia's deputy prime minister he's stepping down would make any difference not materially in my opinion because mr such and is the deputy prime minister but he's in charge of russia's energy sector so he still is the overall person in charge of you know of energy negotiations and as a say this b.p. rosner deal is very much in russia's strategic industries so his office will be heavily involved in you know those negotiations regardless of his position in rosneft or not and i would imagine given that we've now come to you know the people and or the critical point when we go to see a chetry. i would expect that the mr sections department will have some role in acting as a mediator or refrain perhaps in the negotiation. or i would expect you know move
4:25 am
to that point of view if we don't leave the russian government would have let the two partners try and resolve the between them are now to be half of they would expect to see more government involvement over the next couple of weeks and also the russian colonists t.n. k d p have reported is that starting price for that company at seventy billion dollars do you think it's fair but well it's a lot higher than the market value of the company p.p.t.a. in k. has been trading at about fifty billion dollars on the stock market so this is obviously a substantial premium to that level and that's obviously what again we're hearing from reports we haven't had a definitive confirmation of this from an idea of b.p. or a or but one assumes that he is saying look the market values are fifty there for seven years to ride but clearly we're now into the point of nicholas eating the valuation or some mechanism to put it makes up the difference and i think that's what will center of the fact that a deal is going to happen and i would expect also given the usual. the severity of
4:26 am
this dispute between b.p. and the shareholders means much more serious dispute that we saw in the middle of a weight that would be very difficult to see how can you be a yours you know existing arrangements are pretty disputed arrangement could survive sorts of has to break as it were and i think we're now looking at just the valuation of the compensation terms the mechanisms to allow that to happen can't be so ten k.v. peter or anyone else is selling that share as an option. technically or legally there's nothing to stop them doing doubts obviously given that it's a fifty percent stake and then a major russian oil producer need permission from the russian government you know in terms of who they might sell to but i don't think that's really on the cards i don't see b.p. looking to get out of russia thank you please very much committed to long term russia do you want to be involved with rust if you are if you want to increase. in russia in developing exploration especially since a year ago when they run into problems in the gulf of mexico and they now have
4:27 am
a difficult relationship with the us government you know russia is a location or a country where they have the potential to you for future long term growth so i really don't see them looking at this stage to exit from from russia i think that would be very much last resort and not on the cards right now yeah it's also possible steps to be taken by other parties and can be council everything is it's see deep into all that well again i would say that neither side. after the russian state or b.p. wants to cancel the deal and that's why we've seen this one month extension to allow if you like the negotiations perhaps to come down for people to take a breather and you know to to come back and and negotiate on valuation so you know it's definitely you know but it buying out the a or parkers is only one of the possible mechanisms they could for example swap their shares which is also being talked about with either b.p. with rust or with somebody else there could be a retard third. brought into by. the stake there's any number of mechanisms that
4:28 am
can be used the only thing you can say for sure is that i believe that we're still likely to see this deal go ahead the government clearly wants it to happen it's in its long term strategic interests russ never sees b.p. is its ideal partner and b.p. wants to see a gauge in russia so i think that's a fairly strong starting point and after that it's just down to the price all right it sounds great it will crease we thank you very much indeed. for aussies business update this hour join us for more next hour and of course you can always log on to our web site that's not your business.
