8:06 am
concerns about whether the intentions of the alliance contradict the u.n. no fly zone resolution also usenet on another call there is a russian interest summit in a bowl in force and talk to her now and tell you so libya on the table once again. oh yes indeed a very intense talks between russia and nato in their lindh today following a joint letter written by president barack obama president nicolas sarkozy and british prime minister david cameron which was addressed to the end which that's really sad that nato is going to stay in there be as long as it takes until gadhafi steps down the same day same day eight air strikes hit the country's capital tripoli and according to reports from libya there have been a number of civilian casualties now russia and china initially did not vote against the u.n. security council resolution. no fly zone over libya but now that what used to
8:07 am
be a mission to protect civilians in libya looks like it's turning into a bloody massacre according to some experts in russia feels that other interpretation of the u.n. security council resolution. has been very loose diamonds are. a result of the u.n. resolution must be fulfilled in accordance with the wording and the meaning and not the three interpretations of some states because we voted for a new flying just stop the escalation of the conflict so that we can separate the two sides but we have now is a military operation may not be on the ground but it's certainly going on. number of countries who are taking part. it's in the nature of statute but the resolution doesn't say a good. resolution across the lines but in terms of france and britain have already called on four other countries of the alliance to join the alteration in the be a however so far only six of twenty nine twenty eight i'm sorry how the exam so so
8:08 am
does look like there is not not a you know in the midst of even about this situation but the nato itself and many experts have already called it's not a mission to protect civilians in libya but rather a u.s. led operation military intervention in syria and the oil rich country so it does seem. that the humanitarian aspect of this mission has been just cost to the side as others as those western powers are going to evolve it was certainly curious that only six only six of the twenty eight countries involved are truly involved in a brain injury strikes the major operations and so you know because the life of the russian nature something about it thanks. i want just a couple of minutes here on out see the u.k. is accused of hiring of mercenaries in libya. but the security is i think a little bit. volatile it's all states it does go you'll see explores the previous conflicts which turned into gold mines over private security contractors.
8:09 am
the british m.p. barry god and i think the person should withdraw from the coalition operation in libya he argues that we should monetary mission is now all about regime change and nothing else. 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 protection while that is clearly no longer the case and this that is clear you no longer the case then britain should not be involved in the original reason that was given for britain. 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 we called once an operation is reportedly hiring private contractors to protect big corporations in the event of could i think
8:10 am
departure but the experience of a previous interventions shows that mercenaries can become gold diggers and volatile areas just like it. homeless and displaced people disrupted water electricity supplies decimated infrastructure to the world tragic scenes of the destruction of lives but to britain's large private security sector a 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 first for the rest of us and for most people these wars these conflicts are just a cause for concern because the great grief for these companies this is a bonanza 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
8:11 am
that's led to numerous human rights violations this footage peaked 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. formally in the elite f.a.'s paxman did ten years as a contractor in africa and iraq while working undercover paxman says he's even had other contractors open fire on him if you've got loads of security contractors coming into your village. and getting paid. just amounts of money in comparative terms to what the locals would be paid of course it's going to be you know a fair bit of. a fair bit of friction between the groups and i repair it of choice and that can be exploited point easily by external groups such as such as terrorist groups or security companies are typically hired by defense ministries and
8:12 am
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 security is i think a. it does. libya increasingly looks like being a volatile state 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 stoppage 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 an unstable country and while it would be libya that would bear the brunt of that cost for security it only brings in more business. western involvement in ivory coast could mean for the unstable countries that's coming your way on our
8:13 am
cross-talk. the west has got to understand that if they go in premature if you go into countries and get involved in politics up in the not understand if they fail to understand the cultural and tribal mixes and how that integrates on the ground itself then you can find that they can have similar situations what we find in afghanistan and iraq and most recently that's all. i'll of course now we're seeing similar situations with libya. you can catch crosstalk about three hours time right now and it's a. prime minister silvio berlusconi has once again found himself in the midst of a series of scandalous headlines but there's one person standing a lawyer by his side. claims to be a long time friend and close confidant of the pm describing a policy only as a quote perfect gentleman she thinks the accusations aimed at him are all lies
8:14 am
designed to tarnish his good. just friends but close ones that's what. it says of her relationship with silvio berlusconi which she says is exceptionally warm and friendly she's been a guest of his famed parties which were landed him in rather hot water with illyria knight i place it together the average of what we were together like this but now we're much much closer together how did you need better was corny what kind of impression did he make. 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 gentleman one hundred percent man and every son's new witnesses and berlusconi is case so good party guests behaved indecently and they were also encouraged to take
8:15 am
part in some kind of frivolous game what can you tell us about berlusconi. i once was by his new year's party and we all glided as we looked at the dance floor it was a d.j. we just started it drains and cool things floating around the place and there were men but only women as the media stance once he invited the special dance show but it wasn't like anything outrageous it was a beautiful new style show can you tell us about the presents that mr berlusconi gave you. silvio gives presents to all women not to man he has special scarves. and he gives them to women like memento of visiting berlusconi might be a pin all over a nothing expensive or 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 it's the communists of course it's who else would
8:16 am
benefit they want to get rid of him a sauce disposable any minas 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. so i do what i feel like to watch this interview unfold just check out oxys and you tube channel. four news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images. from the streets of canada. corporations are the day. you with me live from moscow only changes will help the global financial system of void future travel to retreat if you're there send a clear message ensuring an annual economic forum in china the event has been

of the issue of social inequality that could rise from very speedy economic growth now they don't want to see the bush becoming richer and the poor becoming more of that widening therefore they don't want to sacrifice the ability in their pursuit of their economic goals well let's get more insight now i'm joined by mark matrona from goldman sachs asia thank you very much for joining us now we have seen a few consensus from the bric summit how do you think a pair consensus is going to impact the economic and political well 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 have now come together in a coordinated fashion is very positive this being a general understanding of the rise of the economic power of the four contras and also now with africa included see the the rise of these five areas and so i think europe and the us have been acutely aware of the b. if you have a simple economic strength and rising strength of these areas and thinking
