let's hear what president president dmitry medvedev are that often there should she says summit strongly needs to reform a global financial architecture the bric summit which has just granted confirmed mega-state stands for the creation of a new. chip there's no protection issues take into account if a distribution of the global development potential and dynamic development of new senses of economic and political influence each year is the leveling in the world some to fulfill the have brought off the plane up and alternative to be a global reserve currency because of her being accommodated by the us all or nothing approach to people but if you want to see reform in fact as well another thing they did bring up is the situation in japan a piece of profit for them to get a wants to see our cooperation in the pursuit of safe nuclear energy social safety mechanisms in dealing with the past as they have seen in the past nothing to say that they are bringing up the issue of social inequality that could arise from here

is key to economic growth so they don't want to see the rich becoming richer and the poor becoming more of that gap widening therefore they don't want to sacrifice stability in their pursuit of their economic goals for more insight now i'm joined by mark matrona from goldman sachs asia thank you very much for joining us now we have seen that the consensus from the brics summit how do you think their consensus is going to impact the comic and political fallout i think this is a very positive development so well so i think the fact that these five major economies across all major of consonance the world now comes together i quit my passion is very positive this being a general. understanding of the rise of the economic power of the poor countries and also now with africa included it's the rise of these five areas and so i think europe and the us have been acutely aware of the the never simple economic strength and rising strength of these areas and thinking carefully on how to how to interact

and deal with it but it's it's it's a reality thank you very much to these a country certainly looking for more cooperation and coordination economically but also politically correct that we all five countries are members of you i think you would acknowledge that we do want to see more. powerful and therefore they want to be a pursuit again economic power in line with their political problems. and more on the challenges the global financial system is facing later this hour here on r t. brazil russia india china and south africa say it's time for leadership of the i.m.f. and world bank to work black changes of the global economy a transformation from club based to all inclusive. with me i can't even explain what i felt inside when i met him he gave me goosebumps when i saw him that's how russian bombshell describes how she fell under the charms of know what

he last now d'italia prime minister more details in just. in the be a nato has launched a new strikes on pro-government positions while the coalition leaders have pledged to push the campaign i'm so colonel gadhafi steps down the british m.p. barry gardner believes the international forces have used a humanitarian cause to get their hands on libya but it has all been about regime change from the very beginning. i don't believe that what is now going on is justified indeed at the beginning it was made very clear by david cameron and others that this could not be about regime change this was about humanitarian projection well that is clearly no longer the case and this that is clearly no longer the case then britain should not be involved it's as simple as that the fact that the rebels the rebel forces are they are part of a civil war that is not something that britain should be coming in there and then

alarming other parts of libya isn't in the western part of libya. in order to help them win what is the civil war the original reason that was given for britain being involved was simply to stop those airstrikes on benghazi and indeed regionally this was marketed to the public and to the world at large as being simply the enforcement of a no fly zone that is not what is now happening and indeed it isn't what's been happening really from that first week on words. western backed away to call changes in the arab world would create a batterer environment for al qaida that's the view of former cia counterterrorism analysts i call sure who told r.t. of the western hopes for a democratic middle east are in a. i think the end of the tyrannies in the middle east they're creating an environment in which islamised groups whether it's al qaeda or any of its allies

will be able to operate much more easily and with with much less pressure from security services the successor governments aren't going to be as effective and they're not and they're going to be more islamic i don't think they're going to be fundamentalists they're not really we're not really worried about al-qaeda taking over any particular government but we're going to have a situation where operationally it's much easier for these groups to exist to train and to plan and mrs clinton is really a fan to says she really believes somehow that this is going to be a secular democratic revolution in it's as far away from that is it possibly could be. levy and nights in terror into a goldmine for private security firms reports say that the u.k. is already hiring mercenaries to protect the interests of the big corporations they are once colonel gadhafi goes but there are fears there checkered history in previous interventions could turn the civil war a foreign country into a proper wild west artie's a war and it has more. homeless and displaced people disrupted water

electricity supplies decimated infrastructure to the world's tragic scenes of the destruction of lives but britain's large private security sector ok gold mine in two thousand and nine the u.k.'s ministry of defense spent eighty two million dollars on hiring private security firms and now insiders say they're hiring again for libya whereas for the rest of us and for most people these wars these conflicts are just a cause for concern because a great grief for these companies this is a pronouncer time private security really boomed in iraq and by two thousand and four the global industry was estimated at one hundred billion dollars private security is an industry populated by ex soldiers where regulation is entirely voluntary that's led to numerous human rights violations this footage leaked in two thousand and five apparently shows a team of u.k.

security contractors taking unprovoked pot shots at cars on a road in baghdad but. formally in the elite s.a.'s both paxman did ten years as a contractor in africa and iraq while working under cover paxman says he's even had other contractors open fire on him if you've got loads of contractors coming into your village. and getting paid. money in comparative terms to what the locals will be paid of course it's going to be here for a bit of. a bit of friction between the groups and over a period of time that can be exploited or easily boy external groups such as shooters or terrorist groups and security companies are typically hired by defense ministries and multinational corporations to protect people and property from insurgents because of the dangerous nature of the work it can easily get out of

hand private security is i think. libya increasingly looks like being a volatile state good while to come and new conflict zone means a new cash cow for private security companies the reality of modern warfare is that private contractors are now doing the work so military force is used to do without many of the rules and regulations that govern army engagements that could mean a new round of human rights violations in unstable country and while it would be libya that would bear the brunt of that cost for security contractors it only brings in more business. on the latest edition of crossfire people of the on his guest explore how western powers orchestrating foreign politics may now be skating on thin ice. that's coming to fifteen minutes time. the west has got to understand that if they go in premature it will go image in countries and

gets involved into politics i do not understand if they fail to understand the cultural and tribal mixes and how that integrates on the ground itself then you can find they could have similar situations what we have find in afghanistan and iraq and most recently that's all somalia i will because now we're seeing similar situations with libya. italy's prime minister is coming increasingly under fire for his alleged sex scandals but there is a person who says it's all false r.t. supposedly met with braces corking who claims to be a close friend of barrels tony has attended his notorious parties she says they are just about innocent dancing and singing and it's the congress behind the media campaign against the embattled premier. just friends but close ones that's what. it says of her relationship with silvio berlusconi which she

knows it and this is going to stay forever you should understand that even if i fall in love i'll marry my husband might resent it but silvio will stay in my heart forever i'm going to choir now even if he has fifteen free minutes he says via car and i come and we talk. new witnesses and berlusconi has case third party guests behaved indecently and they were also encouraged to take part in some kind of free will of the game what can you tell us about berlusconi's parties. i once was i his new year's party and we all glided smoothly to the dance floor it was a d.j. and we just started dancing they were trains and cool things floating around the place and there were men not only women as the media sats once he invited a special dance show but it wasn't like anything outrageous it was. to fall on rouge style show he started singing because he always sings very very well by cover

off to see his voice is very powerful he writes songs himself and sings them that's how it all starts we eat and he starts singing or telling jokes then i took him by the hand to use office discussed my business and i left that's it. can you tell us about the presence that mr berlusconi gave. silvio gives presents to all women not to man he has special scarves. and he gives them to women like a memento of visiting berlusconi might be a pin a ring nothing expensive or a scarf everything is made especially for him so that he can give his own presents . who could benefit from the scandal dipping role of connie's being attacked by a special media campaign but the good news it's the communists of course it's who else would benefit they want to get rid of him as fast as possible by any means i

don't know that they might even bring something from the moon and say that berlusconi did something there that's all we need right now can you tell us more about this secret language that you're using with who are also calling your book in the round two thousand and five face started digging into my private business and tapping my phone to just graduate silvio we understood the situation and for example if i was in trouble and i couldn't handle it myself i asked him for help and he immediately understood it and helped me how there are a couple of words but i can't tell you because if they tell me again they'll understand everything i do feel secure even though they're also calling me names and twenty thirty years i'll build my own destiny and we'll see each other and sit on the bench a nice garden and love and told jokes you can't even imagine how much he loves easily once he told me where i think i'll die working. and now as to go look at some other stories from around the world japan's

countries and what has had dramatic negative. circumstances after that egypt may eventually go the way of latin america or socially oriented governments have rejected i.m.f. neo liberal policies after decades of economic struggle it was a huge for. you know africa in the places where he was most. presidents. since their inception the world bank's president has always been an american the i.m.f. director always a european despite the one hundred eighty seven nation membership the world bank in the n.f.l. located three blocks from the white house for a reason this is the structure of political and economic power in one thousand nine hundred forty six and that's. problem structure of power in the world today five of the largest emerging nations in the world today are demanding an end to western monopoly over the global institutions brazil russia india china and south africa

a buyout of their russian partners state interior k b p the latter have rejected all offers and now value k.b.p.s. eighty billion dollars twenty there are more than the start of the week negotiations seem to bear double both b.p. and say talks with b.p.'s russian partners have broken arts. export times and all products may have to rise in russia global crude prices continue to spike and the german this is of course says that higher purpose may be needed to avoid a fuel deficit at home the price for your old screed blend has jumped fourteen percent over the last month of the whole all prize to me it's more profitable for companies to export refined products such as petrol and jet fuel as they're subject to lower taxes than create. the ruble has been extending its losses to the dollar with the weak up oil prices weighing on the currency however the general sentiment remains positive jacob morgan stanley watch. with wrubel it's more of an all specific story

so if all prices started a current levels i think there's very little reason to see a weakening in the ruble if anything i see a strengthening in the ruble the holly oil price doesn't fit through into a strong group was not structured because you have these. outflows on the capital carol but nobody can really explain except by reference to political uncertainty with the presidential election but it's running at about twenty four billion dollars a quarter if reducing its then i think the ruble will stream from i don't see why it should contribute such horror rates because returns in russia are pretty horrid and with the hall price prospects are good. the prices for precious metals are on the rise as investors opt for them over stocks some disappointing jobs data and mixed earnings in the u.s. while the price of silver jumped over the psychological mark of forty two dollars per ounce which is the highest level in three decades and let's look at how the
