the italian crimea after catching his eye silvio berlusconi's special friend who has all the rumors to bed and to be with us here at. the has old baby and you also have just met in moscow and the last sets announces they're not looking for any other partners apart be any small business team about twenty minutes time. just off a three pm here in moscow welcome to the program well in finland a journalist is being tried for illegally smuggling chechens into the country but many that question why the authorities find nothing wrong with his website which serves as a propaganda tool for one of the world's most wanted terrorists and he's in our now

has the latest from philip. myself courser is accused of smuggling illegal the individuals into finland some five hundred people which he himself has said are militants here of course calls them freedom fighters so prosecutors focusing on illegal immigration there are many critics wondering why it's being ignored that this man runs a site that spews propaganda about a man that has made it very clear that one of his main goals is to take as many russian lives as possible he may not look like a supporter of terrorism but torture founded and runs this website center a propaganda mouthpiece for one of the world's most wanted terrorist and declared by the un to have links with al qaeda doku umarov is responsible for some of russia's most horrific recent terror attacks the moscow metro blast and the domodedovo airport bombing which in total killed almost eighty people and injured

nearly three hundred cycles doku umarov a president transmits messages about those he views as his enemies and carries ads for books about the wife of a mujahideen islamic fighter the situation is that. the standard. and he's associated they are working for the politicization of islam used to be aspirational going to europe they want to make radicals stores or is being prosecuted not for aiding terrorism but for illegally smuggling some one hundred individuals into finland people who he calls freedom fighters the way the rights of world situation and it's contaminating the finished. writing of the same way. underworld writing railroad because it's. correct to make terrorist attacks this is the company that houses the website located right

in the center of helsinki meanwhile opponents of islamic extremism or those who speak out against it are being persecuted by finished authorities for allegedly violating minority rights you homo re a finnish pastor was defrocked fired from his ministry with no severance pay and forced to divorce his wife to protect her from death threats he received these came from joe kumar himself who said the pastor and his loved ones would have their heads cut off for clerks church decided he was threatening a legitimate website and criminal cases for inciting racial hatred have been launched more there he says he's trying to make something positive out of losing his job because although mark had been busy with my work i don't know how to. concentrate on this subject and spread awareness about a site that has ripped his life for carte spreading propaganda about a man who has torn apart the lives of thousands so you can see why some people here

in finland are going to continue working very hard to make sure that this website gets down of course it's very few because the venice present covered this issue and it has to be said that one of the witnesses who will be defending the very well known european parliamentarians the court told us she's very powerful here in finland and is known for her anti russian rhetoric and it's being said that she is going to work very hard to make sure that this case stays about illegal immigration and not about aiding terrorists and he said now artsy reporting from finland also seems in finland that you can never criticize terrorists which is exactly the name of the special section on our website you can hear an exclusive confessional to watch so you finish praised you just saw in that report. not that it is so hot water right after that very interview with our to the concert check out the work about two midsts who have their own unique part of the story and of course don't

hesitate to share your thoughts all about r.t. . also. with me i can't even explain what i think inside when i met him he gave me when i saw him after our russian no bombshell describes the moment she fell under the charms of all italian prime minister himself before revelations about r.t. and the highlights of this interview coming your way in just a few minutes. oh in libya nato has launched a new strikes on pro-government positions while the coalition leaders have pledged to carry on the campaign. steps down but it's raised more concern that these claims contradict the aims of a u.n. resolution passed last month he's the target of a cover as the latest from the russia nato summit in burg. we're expecting very intense talks between nato and russia during the council meeting in berlin and fall

in the latter by this really matters in which president barack obama nicolas sarkozy and british prime minister david cameron addressing called duffy saying that nato alliance is going to sites in libya he goes and goes for good in the same day eight airstrikes hit tripoli with reports coming from leave there that there have been civilian casualties during the airstrikes now russia and china initially did not use their veto rights in the u.n. security council against what started off as a mission to protect civilians against gadhafi regime and has turned into a questionable massacre how some experts call it now russia feels like its expectations of raters mission have been betrayed that is a u.n. resolution must be filled whether russia voted for it as south africa did abstained but it must be fulfilled in accordance with the wording and meaning and not which three interpretations of some states because we voted for a no fly zone just stop the escalation of the conflict so that we could separate

the two sides but what we're having now is a military operation it may not be on the ground yet but it's certainly going on up above a number of countries who are taking part and then nato stepped in but the resolution doesn't say a word about it that's right when i hear the resolution is bad i disagree erosion lucian is absolutely fine but it must be fulfilled without succeeding the mandate it's based on. while french president nicolas sarkozy calls on four other members of their alliance to participate in their only so far only six of them have been involved and many experts have already called it not a nato mission to protect civilians but rather a u.s. military intervention into oil rich. plotting the filing of a court recording or with the military campaign in libya looking ever further from whence they could be not a problem for the horizon. but that security is i think a particularly insightful it's all states it does go beyond the law as written

suggests that the use of private contractors in a conflict torn country when you look at how well the practice has worked in the past. at least prime minister silvio berlusconi is coming under increasing pressure over his alleged sex scandals but there is one person who says it's all lies but with. who has been a regular gas that is notorious parties she says they are only innocent affairs with nothing more than dancing and singing and it's communists behind the mediocre campaign against our friend the embattled premier. just friends but close ones that's what school says of her relationship with silvio berlusconi which she says is exceptionally warm and friendly she's been a guest at his famed parties which have landed him in rather hot water and razor told r.t.

hold this scandal changed her relationship with him to lose most powerful man. on the field near a night a closer together than ever earlier we were together like this it's now a much much closer together how did you need a bottle of corny what kind of impression did he make on you. was not you know it's just i can't even explain what i felt inside when i met him he gave me goosebumps when i saw him because he's a very handsome man it was love at first sight he's such a gentle man one hundred percent a man in every sense how often do you think each other now tell us about your relationship. is noted for me he's always been like a guardian angel as he puts it himself in my heart my feelings. sparkle and he knows it and this is going to stay forever you should understand that even if i fall in love all mary my husband might resent it but silvio will stay in my heart forever i'm going to cry now even if he has fifteen free minutes he says roy

and i come and we talk with. new witnesses and berlusconi is case the 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 he's new year's party and we all glided smoothly to the dance floor he was a d.j. and we just started dancing it drains and cool things floating around the place and they were man naturally women as the media sets once he invited a special dance show but it wasn't like anything outrageous it was a beautiful non rouge style show he started singing because he always sings very very well pub rotty is a 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

went to use office discussed my business and i left that's it. can you tell us about the presents that mr berlusconi gave. silvio gives presents to all women not to man he had special scarves for live aid 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. is 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. i mean it's i don't know that they might even bring something from the moon and say there is something there that's all we need right now can you tell us more about this secret language that you're using with silvio berlusconi in the around 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 powell there are a couple of words but i can't tell you because if they tell me again though i understand everything i do feel secure even though there was twenty thirteen i'll build my own destiny and we'll see each other and sit on the bench a nice garden and laugh and tell jokes you can't even imagine how much he loves me once he told me. i think i'll die working so hard for the full interview or you just heard over to our you tube channel.

today violence is once again flared up. these are the images. from the streets of kandahar. with r.t. live from moscow and i was going to one of our top stories here libya might soon turn into a goldmine for private security firms reports say the u.k. has already hiring mercenaries to protect the interests of big corporations that colonel gadhafi goes there are fears that checkered history could turn this civil war torn country into a proper wild west or and that has more. homeless and displaced people disrupted water electricity supplies decimated infrastructure to the world's tragic scenes of the destruction of lives but to britain's large private security sector oh goldmine in two thousand and nine the u.k.'s ministry of

defense spending 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. formerly in the elite s.a.'s 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 he got loads of contractors coming into your village. getting paid. comparative terms to what the locals would 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 quite 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 by the securities i see. it does. libya increasingly looks like being a volatile state for a good while to come and a new conflict zone means a new cash cow for private security companies but 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 on the engagements that could mean a new round of human rights violations in an unstable country and while it would be libya that would bear the brunt of that cost for security contractors it only brings more business. that latest edition of crosstalk explores how western powers orchestrating foreign politics may have gone too far and. that's coming your way in about fifteen minutes time here on. a quick preview . the west has got to understand that if they go in premature if the go into countries and getting 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 out so they can have similar situations where we have i mean afghanistan and iraq and most recently that's all. i'll of course now

we see similar situations with libya. with. twenty minutes pass through the afternoon let's check out some of the headlines from around the world right now if you don't behave has sentenced to former croatian. prisons are guilty of crimes against humanity. military top brass during the conflict in the former yugoslavia in the ninety's they were in charge of raids on the stove you saw tens of thousands flee hundreds killed the convictions have sparked protests and croatia. the two men are seen as national heroes a third it general who was also starting trial acquitted in the hague tribunal is often accused of being biased against the majority of cases it hears against. iran's government has ordered the operator of the fukushima nuclear plant to pay

some twelve thousand dollars to each household forced to evacuate due to radiation leaks it's estimated the conversation could be up to about twenty five billion however the country's leadership has come in for its own criticism from those still living in shelters one month on from the quake they say help came too little too late meanwhile intensive searches for tsunami victims are finally underway near the nuclear plant after being delayed by the fears of radiation. and italian activists sgrena found dead in gaza city hours after being abducted. on the list was seized on thursday by islamist radicals who threatened to kill him if hamas did not release their leader stream it's supposed to be a video with him on you tube and blindfolded before killing us officials say two suspects have been arrested and others are being sort. of rushers supreme

court has accepted an appeal by the defense or. that it was wrong to hold the jailed ex tycoon in pretrial detention in the final months of his second trial last year however today's decision would have made no difference to the plight of ski who remains in jail serving his first term for what and that's a question in december two thousand and ten he along with his business partner fund for leverage that were also convicted of money laundering and embezzlement this means they will remain behind bars until two thousand and seventeen. both change all remain mired in problems to me to read together to set a clear message about the state of the global financial system all of this at the start of an annual economic forum in china the event is the government is the asian diversity it brings together leaders and businessmen and from the regional parties assyria as the. the leaders of the a brics countries have come to be a blowout for

a would be a consensus they have reached at the summit that they want to see reforms both it be if you national financial system as well as the growth of global governance in order to reflect what they see as a stronger reality of. power at least economically moving from the west to the wealth of they have brought out the bring up an alternative to be a global reserve currency because all currently at dominated by the u.s. dollar nothing yet put into detail but they do want to see reform in fact as well another thing they did bring out the a situation in japan i think that the president did get a bomb to see our cooperation in the pursuit of safe nuclear energy specially safety mechanisms in dealing with the past is as they had seen in japan and i think today that they are bringing up is the issue of social inequality that could arise from their economic growth so they don't want to see the rich becoming richer and the poor becoming more that widening therefore they don't want to sacrifice stability in their pursuit of their economic goals well let's get more insight now

i'm joined by mark mason from goldman sachs asia thank you very much for joining us now we have seen that the a consensus from the brics summit how do you think of their concerns is going to impact the economic and political world so i think this is a very positive development for the walls i think the fact that these five major economies across all major it consonance the world now come together in a coordinated fashion is very positive there's been a general understanding of the rise of the economic power of the four countries and also now with africa included it's the 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 they're how to interact and deal with that but it's it's it's a reality thank you very much lisa carney certainly looking for. more cooperation and coordination economically but not just that all the political equal

incidentally all five countries are members of the u.n. security council they do want to see more influence in that council and therefore they want to see the pursuit again of their economic power in line with their political clout as well. as to live reporting right there with. all the business operators. i think sorry this is business i'll see how welcome to the program the people's board dudly me as the head of raw stats in moscow and weeks of passing is salvaged to share a small deal between the two companies they figure they learned owners may come up according to that in mr nice paper that's how much he piece russian partners in t.n. k.d.t. want to get out of the way to get the latest let's cross now live to our seas peter on the left is standing by here the rosneft headquarters hello there peter so they don't come much bigger than bob dudley does we does he have

a way to get the deal through what are we expecting from that particular meeting. b.p. wouldn't tell us exactly what was being discussed rather dudley's business here to moscow to speak with the ross their first president however i think it's fairly safe to assume that the future of the sixteen billion dollars share swap deal between the two companies probably cropped up somewhere in the conversation no where does the future of that deal lie simply lies the fact that b.p. have to come to some form of agreements with their current russian partners they are to buy out their shares of the joint venture t.i.n.k. b.p. now they are saying that they are willing to listen to what they called sensible proposals now what's a sensible proposal and he was ok all of kearney value t n k d p it's eighty billion dollars that's twenty billion dollars more than it was on the markets for at the beginning of this week they'd be looking for half of that so forty billion

in order to relinquish their their shares their control of the n.k.v.d. pig that's bought forty billion dollars more than the twenty seven billion that was offered by b.p. on wednesday so they've really set out there they're starting positions in two for a good old fashioned negotiation here they'll be hoping that they can have some form to go show actions that they can come to a agreeable think. somewhere in between those two numbers no the russian shareholders in taking k.p. have said this they want a deal to explore the arctic which of course this is all about to look for the valuable oil in the arctic they want that deal to be done between t. and k b b and ross next now this is where the problem arises have to said they don't do business with t n k p p they would it business with b p so there's the head of rosneft also said that they they turned down a bit from t n k p p to buy into rosneft and said that. the deal would only be with b.p. it was b.p. all with nobody they ruled out any possibility of

a deal with like shell so it's basically b.p. all nobody but as we said in the past this deal too big to be allowed to fall by the wayside so people are going to have to get their well get into some hard negotiations with the russian shareholders with their russian partners in order to come to an agreement so that all that exploration deal in the arctic can be done between b.p. and ross left great stuff all right peter all of the reporting there live from or else you have had called a speech to many thanks indeed. you. and turns an oil products might have to rise in russia global crude prices continue to spike and to minister sergei shmuck of course that's why it may be needed to avoid a fuel deficit at home the price for a year old screwed blend has john fourteen percent over last month but they are all price means that smoke forced companies to export refined products such as petrol and jet fuel. taxes then create. the prices for precious
