the world's emerging superpower pledged their commitment to a new global economy and called on the nato led coalition to abide by the un resolution on libya. the us is accused of manipulating a regime change in the arab world through cyber warfare all under the guise of democratic revolution. i practiced on it demands the u.s. cuts its activity in the country as relations soured by drone attacks and civilian deaths to their lowest level since nine and
8:01 am
a. worldwide news live from moscow you with us here now the world's emerging economic giants have called for a reform of the global financial system through all of this going down at the annual summit brazil russia india china and south africa the so-called brics nations have also commented on a nato operation and a conflict torn it libya nazis it says australia has been following the meeting at the chinese resort of such. well what these five countries especially want is greater influence on the world stage first economically they want to see a reform of the international financial model currently in place that will benefit developing countries more one thing they point out is the a currency reserve system currently it's the u.s. dollar and the euro and they would like to see an alternative if there were chinese
8:02 am
is putting forward the law but for that to happen there's a lot of internal conflict that has to be resolved but nice there are there's a consensus in that they want a an alternative another thing that they do worry about is the fluctuating part of the crisis this will hurt their developing economies and they want to see stable oil prices for example raw materials as well as food prices that in order for it for them to achieve this they feel that they have to have more say in b.h. national monetary fund as well as the world back china definitely wanting more voting shares in the world but again greater say now in coming together like this in coming up with coordinated efforts they are quick to stress that they're not forming a replacement of international organizations they're not trying to be aggressive on the world stage if anything it is really all about cooperation and coordination. we're engaged in an effort to create a multiplier the institutional order good news you come in. the areas of including recruitment organized against any group of countries in fact work food program
8:03 am
cooperation and governance mechanisms and knowing with between two points of entry so the brics countries also want a greater say politically they do feel that if they have a consensus before they go to the international stage such as the g twenty more will be achieved from their point of view now one of the issues that they do feel strongly about is of course maybe they have come forth quite strongly if you will a condemning to good use of force in the country they do believe that the u.n. resolution mandate has not been followed that the troops there have gone beyond what was called for let's listen to the president get it through a lot of great office but he's a looser so the u.n. resolution must be fulfilled whether russia voted for each of the assets. africa to all of statements it must be fulfilled in accordance with the wording and meaning it will in no with free interpretations of some states because we voted for a no fly zone just stop the escalation of the conflict so that we can separate the two sides but what we having now is a military operation may not be on the ground yet but it's certainly going on up
8:04 am
above a number of countries who are taking part and then nato step to put the resolution doesn't say a word about it that's why when i hear the resolution is bad i disagree the resolution is absolutely fine but it must be fulfilled without exceeding the mandate it's based on so again president whether there are strong words coming from him he does believe that's it there is a dangerous time to see it in what the u.n. is doing especially in countries like libya or you have the ivory coast so what they want is basically the you went to respect the decision of the international community and in this regard they also want greater say in the political arena and it will sell for example wanted from the seats of the u.s. security council and they did point out each of them did point out that the whole fabric countries are members of the u.s. a pretty house and so certainly evidence there that they want greater political say i've used as a center reporting right there now let's get some further analysis on the ongoing prick somebody and try to i'm joined on the studio by. i political analyst from the
8:05 am
institute of oracle studies here in moscow good to see here so russia china india south africa these five countries in particular have formed the brics group there are other nations that could have joined in here why do you think it's this political this sudden group of five all their economic reasons are political motives here. i think that from the beginning. it was their results of the goldman sachs analysis which have been published and they named. four countries for the moment it was india russia china and brazil and goldman the thousand mentioned the case for. this are developing fast if they can only desert economies of string and i'm sure and as time goes on they're becoming major players in the world yes they for a very cultist see such kind of group they didn't create by the name this country to get to be named these five groups there's
8:06 am
a new number for this for there's a new number of new members now. south africa yes we're seeing these these countries here gaining ground we're seeing perhaps an economic focus shifting from the west to the east i think so because you can imagine the in these group there are at least two most developing countries and they are they are china and india they're belittling they're very fast and their successes are fantastic and all but why you don't think they will ok so you as you say we've got two major economies here to get when you continue to grow what's russia's interesting part of the pritzker. i think with russia interest there are several aspects of that russian interest and what russia is would like to be the. they have very. good relationship with most of this.
8:07 am
india russia relations. how can you test that the president met prime minister of india mr manuel when seeing already in china i mean so there are going to be economic reasons but also those who can lose their teacher leader teacher reasons instead think it is this same do political space if you look if i may just changing our focus now it's about libya at the brics summit other members that have called or have called on nato have stopped this so this is what is a very very tough to be protecting civilian airspace but it doing x. air strikes among other things yes i will nato listen to what the purpose nations have to say on libya. maybe nate doesn't want to listen to anybody but we know that in the united nations in security council sometimes ago this four countries plus germany war against these measures which had been the way nato
8:08 am
in libya and this is as i saw it it was the may be the first demonstration for the. you least the poor at least four countries west germany they have the same approach to the such kind of summits some may say in one way or another showing to the un. how they all i mean but also preciously really are not only you know on the paper are ready to hear it on the paper but they are openly demonstrate that the their position on such important question from young political analyst thank you you thank. well and nato officials are now meeting in. growing discontent and infighting within the alliance over the campaign in libya members
8:09 am
disagree on what contribution each state needs to make with only six out of the twenty eight involved conducting air strikes the u.k. and france are calling on other countries to increase military pressure on colonel moammar gadhafi airstrikes began last month following the un's decision to allow an enforcement off a no fly zone in order to protect civilians but many analysts believe the ultimate goal of your permission is control of the libyan politics and. we can't rule out troops on the ground at this point the problem is is the western nations are trying to mask shilled military incursion so they look more benevolent and more humanitarian germany has one position in germany was to bring in the european union belgian doesn't want to arm libyan for libyan rebels italy and france very you know they do want to arm states already have cia there is the vision among the western
8:10 am
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 and business marketing western nations and nothing exchanged on this the quest for reforms continues in the arab world the u.s. is increasing its influence over government activists in the region america is conducting a cyber war in a bid to direct the spread of the pro-democracy movement but as artie's a guy nature can reports u.s. intentions could easily backfire. 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 on
8:11 am
activists cell phone should they be detained the software instantly raises the contact between their phones and sends a warning alert signal to other activities sounds great one push of a button and it's all gone probably mungo's thanking the u.s. government for the quality are going to be drug dealers and terrorists but american officials of course claim the best of intentions saying. it's to protect them 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 campion's from. 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 for any interference doesn't have to be a military invasion a bombing campaign or you know some kind of special operation on the ground in that
8:12 am
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 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 kneejerk fools for spreading democracy and pumps millions of dollars into the bell of things systems to help pull in the middle east and china get around internet blocking our walls 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 were any democracy it's simply a sham it's a pretense it's a lie a goal of us foreign policy is to put its people in public office and in foreign

8:18 am
mosco thirty g.'s to pay for treatment to get 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. yes this is exactly what's happening because hundred fifty children were conscious in germany russia plus the ha for receiving lifesaving drugs forty year old called it is you know it's one of them the build up of toxins that he's body's unable to recycle has left him unable to walk and talk the last few months he's been rapidly losing the side hearing a lot his treatment is estimated to cost more than eight hundred thousand dollars that's an exorbitant alone that could also say dozens or hundreds of people plus conditions as with all this money well the idea may not leave and see the next summer the saddest thing of all is that part. well but all things to care about

about you know my husband left her when he learned of their son's disability local authorities refused to help citing the lack of money but here is thankful for small mercies a lot he's still alive but if it comes hope. i'm happy just to wake up and see him breathing sometimes he smiles and it's the greatest gift for me i know the treatment is expensive and i know this money could help me and the children but he didn't choose his conditions and he also deserves to live so the russian president recently suggested that the huntress syndrome be added to the list of illnesses treated exclusively at the expense of the federal budget and one of many in the medical community say is long overdue you can submit when you purchase to the us there are between six thousand and eight thousand trained on her search and the treatment for many of them are still either nonexistence or too expansively the rarity of the owners definitely shouldn't be a criterion for providing medical assistance these kids saying too much brain and
8:20 am
then entitle to treatment just like children with if we are chicken pox bursting bubbles is something that these mothers have long with used to when they give birth to their children they all dreamt of them becoming someone great and it was only after the killing diagnosis they realized their children were just that great subway car or its moscow style and forty minutes past the hour here in the russian capital tensions between the u.s. and pakistan have risen sharply in recent weeks leading islamic out officials to demand a cut in the number of cia personnel in the country it comes as its foreign office called american drone attacks a quote core irritant in the fight against terror the latest attack drew strong criticism after several civilians were killed in north waziristan on wednesday more if the national reports. here in islamabad officials say the relations between the u.s. and pakistan are today and it's war since nine eleven and there are many reasons
8:21 am
behind the deterioration a case in point is that of raymond davis a cia spy who shot through pakistan his dad in brode day lives earlier this year claiming they were trying to rob him this incident exposed huge concerns over the activity of the u.s. private security firms similar to those operating in afghanistan and iraq others claim the real work was on neutralizing the country's nuclear arsenal which ease to become the world's largest pakistani officials here in islamabad say they have no idea how many u.s. contractors are currently functioning in pakistan and what their identities are nor their purposes and unacceptable for the u.s. obsession with firing drones into pakistan also thrust and stew critically destabilize the situation in pakistan targeted militants in the northern part of
8:22 am
pakistan near its border with afghanistan march seventeenth drone strike is reported to have killed forty innocent civilians prompting a month long break by the us but despite these casualties and a bloody experience both of ghana's style and iraq and now in pakistan here there seems to be no sign of a policy change from nato its part pakistani officials here in the capital of pakistan warn that drove a seriously strengthened not only anti american sentiment but also to military sentiment in this region making it increasingly hard to just fight the continuing war on terror because trans prime minister in an interview with r.t. confer. drone strikes are causing huge and sightsee for pakistan and after weeks
8:23 am
and more problems rather than solutions in fighting terror. the drone attacks the simple please god created in rebuttal committed turned against the government and the real. problem starts and it is ignored in favor of the military strategy or political strategy. worked difficult despite us immunity undermining the pakistani government's top officials here in the capital it came to smooth over divisive issues to stress the key point that a stable pakistan is in the interests of all regional shouty islamabad pakistan. kareena she is here with the latest business of things and. the joint exploration venture between b.p. and the girls you have to drag zone here a bit of b.p. has won a one month extension to complete the swap with that's right laurie and the two companies today moved back to the deadline that it's may sixteenth now b.p.'s
8:24 am
annual general meeting is taking place in london amid protests from shareholders and environmental activists the shareholders have been in race by the way the oil company has of the blocked chance walk an arctic exploration deal with russia's rosneft while the environmentalists are highlighting the company's role in the huge gulf of mexico oil spill now for more details i'm joined by r.t.s. laura emmett's who is outside the a.g.m. office hello to you laura so it's a tough day to be b.p.'s executive isn't it. it is and it's been a very tough year for them i mean it's been taught since hailed essentially by disasters we're nearly a year or now two almost to the day since the gulf of mexico oil spill started and that's something that hasn't gone unnoticed in our environmental protesters all shareholders minds and as you say there are holders around environmentalist's protesting outside this annual general meeting they gulf coast fishermen who say that their livelihoods and communities have been ruined by the oil spill and also
8:25 am
canadians native canadians processing b.p.'s potential development of the tar sands that eight protesters we hear have in fact been dragged out of the a.t.m. they managed to make their way in and they had to be dragged out during the meeting by security by security at that meeting and essentially shareholders are incensed by this year that's gone by during which by the way the companies received two of lurched from one crisis to another and lost around fifty billion dollars of value for shareholders so they're not pleased about that they've seen this huge mexico oil spill in the gulf of mexico and the resulting fantastically expensive cleanup operation that's involved and now of course we're looking at they still with us after which has yet to go through a lot of a lot of hostility towards management from shareholders in that meeting and saying i'm proud that b.p. has got to salvage something out of this rotten f.t.l. if it's to go forward as the sizable old company that has been up till now now or
8:26 am
just looking what's going on i mean what has been going on these weeks between the company and with this deal is the belief in london at all that the deal will still go ahead. well of course now we've seen the extension of the deadline on the shaft well that's been moved back by another month and that's certainly a good sign and a deadline was originally today there was obviously no compromise no solution insights that has been a lot of speculation in the press about optimism that they still can now go through has faded out to this point i think probably that with an extra month shareholders will start to believe a little bit more than that but it can be a result we had no words for him either of the parties are the b.p. they are all b.p. about what sort of solution this might be we've seen a whole lot of speculation that the most likely thing seems that b.p. might buy outs for access really but the consortium of russian holders in c. and k. b.p. but where the money's going to come from what sort of a deal they're going to be able to be told that france is unclear we've also seen
8:27 am
the wall street journal talking about b.p. possibly selling out but again that wouldn't be a very good deal for the company because it would lose a substantial revenue stream so shareholders unlikely to back that i mean a lot of calls a.o.l. is threatening to sue b.p. for ten billion dollars for shutting it simply the. ports act now still says close to the they had to be saying that dudley in fact knew all along that this deal would lead to a confrontation with the russian shareholders and he held that maybe thinking that as he knew that base would happen he may have some sort of solution up to me as i say another month to get something science in on the table so we'll just have to see how that plays ok and we'll be following this story in the days to come laurie and reporting from london thanks very much for this update. and now a look at how the markets are performing this hour european stocks are lower weighed by the banking sector and that's not to spread islam the banking center
8:28 am
