the publisher of a finnish based website which supports terrorism escapes prosecution over his links with extremism but does go on trial for helping chechens into finland illegally. the actions of nato in libya should return to a diplomatic level all to go beyond the limits of the un resolution says russian foreign minister sergey lavrov at the summit with the alliance in berlin. the global financial system must be overhauled to prevent future disasters as the russian president at the start of an economic meeting in china dubbed the asian.

internationally is not from our studios here in central moscow this is our teachers post nine pm here in the russian capital and eight pm in finland where the publisher of a finnish praised website affiliated with internationally wanted terrorists is going on trial however authorities in helsinki are turning a blind eye and his extremist links and instead prosecuting because store short for allegedly smuggling chechens into finland lottie's and now he is following the story for us from outside the court there and how simple. we're hearing has begun in the criminal case against mikhail store sir who is the founder and main editor of a website called the cost center this is a site that according to international law and most certainly according to russia falls into the category of terrorist propaganda that is not what this hearing is about they feel sorcerer is accused of smuggling illegally individuals into finland

some three hundred people which he himself has said are militants here of course calls them freedom fighters charges for smuggling have also been brought against the brother of chechen terrorists have he was on the internationally most wanted list for many years but sigh of is the mastermind behind many terror attacks in russia including the past on school siege and he was killed five years ago by russian security forces so prosecutors focusing on illegal immigration here 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 web site cost center a propaganda mouthpiece for one of the world's most wanted terrorist and declared by the un to have links with al qaida go tomorrow it's responsible for some of russia's most horrific recent terror attacks in moscow metro blast and the deal

majed of the airport bombing which 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 life of a mujahideen islamic fighter the situation is that. the standard. and he's associated they are looking for the politicization of islamist spring feel about your. they want to make radicals u.k. all 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 poor percenter writes about the situation it's it's a contaminating the finished media is. slower and slower writing of the same way.

under the writing rewriting of its couric to make her a terrorist attacks this is the company that houses the web site located right in the center of helsinki meanwhile opponents of islamic extremism or those who speak out against it are being persecuted by finnish authorities for allegedly violating minority rights. 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 wrote seems he's came from doku umarov himself said the pastor and his loved ones would have their heads cut off but the clerk's church decided he was threatening a legitimate website and criminal cases for inciting racial hatred has been launched although he says he's trying to make something positive out of losing his job because all the time i have been busy with my work but no have. concentrated to stop sick and spread awareness about

a site that has ripped his life for cart running propaganda about a man who's torn apart the lives of thousands and he's now a r t l c. well if you've ever wanted to speak your mind can land you you can check out the special section on our website is there a lot of the moment called attention and never criticize terrorist from there you can hear the explosive confessions of the of the different finnish priests you just saw in the report post a moderate line in the cell phone hold water with the police write off a very interview you also enjoy the work of to. take on the story you can find all there said altie. also the website is meant to go i can't even explain what i felt inside when i met him he gave me a spell when i saw him that's how a russian bombshell describes how she felt on the charms of none other than the italian prime minister before revelations about the highlights of this interview coming up in. just a few minutes in the program right now here on r.t.

. the situation in libya has once again become a leading issue at the nato conference in berlin with russia joining the discussion foreign minister sergey lavrov has stressed moscow's stance over the military operations saying the protection of civilians is the main priority however he was critical over some of the methods adopted by the alliance but is the telling of it is invalid. russia and nato don't seem to be quite on the same page regarding the operation being carried out and leave without air strikes continue on tripoli and secretary general rasmussen has called those countries to provide their fighter jets in order to complete the mission which in his view of nature is for colonel gadhafi to step down but this is not quite what they are here and security council resolution and russia are just now nine hundred seventy three resolution suggested that the mission would be in fact it's up to civilians in libya and is now

asserting into a bloody massacre. today we witnessed actions in libya are exceeding the framework defined by the security council it's already being discussed the resolution one hundred seventy three could also be used for ground operations resolution does not provide for such actions and does not approve them nor does the u.n. deal support regime change in libya and president barack obama and president sarkozy together with the british prime minister have written a letter to colonel gadhafi to say that the only way that nato forces are going to leave the country if is that if he steps down in fact so far france and britain have been the most active in carrying out all names in the re and they have gone for other countries to also join the operation for saving the civilians there however so far only six out of twenty eight member states of nature have participated in the operations which gratian of which gives you an idea that

perhaps a major itself is not that unanimous in making the decisions about libya despite secretary-general rasmussen statement that's all member states are on board russia believes that if what rebels and major want to achieve in libya is to form a new government and for gadhafi to step down that the only way to achieve that should be to put the two sides to the negotiation table. determine libya's future we need both sides of the conflict to stop chasing one another with heavy weapons and come to lucian stable that would be far better than resorting to it's amazing which endangered the lives of a huge number of civilians. russia has also said that it is no watchdog to what's happening in libya and that security council should be monitoring gladder the resolution it's implemented it introduced it is being implemented correctly. and of course not and from stop the war coalition told me earlier that libya should be coping with the conflict itself as intervention brings more destruction this very

big splits in the alliance i mean on the one hand you have people are basically want to stick to the u.n. resolution which is which talks about defending civilians and. you know has very very limited times on the other hand you have the u.s. britain and france who have now come clean and come off the fence and said. that they are affectively said that they are going for regime change with this intervention which is you know which is something that is not covered in the in the resolution is is as far as i can see illegal. and you know ratchets up the situation in a very very dangerous why literally intervention doesn't bring liberation doesn't bring progress it creates carnage it creates misery and and it tends. to generate a spiral of violence in a country the basic democratic position is to say get the west out stop the bombing

and let the libyan sort the situation out for themselves britain has reportedly hiring private contractors to protect big corporations in the event of a departure but the experience of previous interventions shows that mercenaries can become gold diggers in volatile areas just like libya. 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 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 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 in two thousand and five apparently shows a team of think a security contractors taking unprovoked hot shots at cars on a road in baghdad but. formally in the elite s.a.'s paxman did ten years as a contractor in africa and iraq while working undercover paxman says he even had other contractors open fire on him if you got loads of security contractors coming into your village. and getting paid. amounts of money in comparison to what the locals would be paid of course there's going to be you know a fair bit of. a fair bit of friction between the groups and i repair it if china can be exploited quite easily by external groups such as such as terrorist groups

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 that security is i think a. 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. the private contractors are now doing the work so military force is used 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 bet the cost for security contracts it only brings more business. later today you can find out what western involvement in ivory coast could mean for

the unstable country that's coming up in our tease cross-talk debate program. the west has got to understand that if they go in premature it's a go until 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 but they can have similar situations what we. iraq and most recently that's all somalia i'll of course now we're seeing similar situations with libya. coming your way a little later here on. italy's enigmatic prime minister silvio berlusconi has once again found himself in the midst of a series of scandalous headlines but there's one person standing by his side. who claims to be a long time friend and close confidant. describing is

a perfect gentleman she thinks the accusations painted in all noise designed to tarnish his good name. just friends but close ones that's what. it says of her relationship with cebu blue school which she says is exceptionally warm and friendly she's been against it he's going to parties which has landed him in rather hot water. closer together than ever. we were together like this but now we're much much closer together how did you. what kind of impression did he make on. his medio with each other i can't even explain what i felt inside when i met him he gave me goosebumps when i saw him because he's very handsome man it was love at first sight is such a gentle man one hundred percent man and every sense 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 is game what can you tell us about berlusconi's parties. i once was a his new year's party and we all glided as we're going to the dance floor was a d.j. we just started down there were trains and cool things floating around the place and one man actually women as the media says once he invited a special don't show he wasn't like anything else rages it was a beautiful young russian 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 a memento of visiting berlusconi might be appearing a lot over a nothing expensive scarf everything is made especially for him so that he can give peace and presents. who could benefit from the scandal i think berlusconi is being attacked by a special media campaign because it's the communists of course it's who else would

benefit they want to get rid of him a sauce to store any i mean i don't know whether they might even bring something from the moon and say there is something there well that's all we need right now. well if you'd like to watch this interview in full you can check out our tease each channel. more news today violence has once again flared up. these are the images and seeing from the streets of canada that. giant corporations rule today. and to siberia now here in r.t. where an unprecedented warm spell is called the number of wildfires well forest fires are a yearly occurrence in russia authorities usually have

a brief pause between winter for in late spring when was start in earnest but this year sharp rise in temperatures has left four forces scrambling to halt the infernos weather emergency workers say that they're well prepared to deal with the situation following last year's widespread cause the government organized a statewide upgrade of equipment. that's on for a brief look at some other stories making headlines around the world the u.n. tribunal has convicted and to go to vienna to talk croatian generals to twenty four years in jail for nine counts of war crimes in one thousand nine hundred another general was sentenced to seventeen years in jail the two men were accused of masterminding the operation that source and two hundred thousand serbs forced out of croatia hundreds of civilians who refused to leave with brutally executed in croatia where the generals are you the heroes a large crowd gathered to hear the verdict in the capital booed and denounce the trial. pretty three people have been taken to hospital after clashes between police and demonstrators in the town of kill

a tear and tear gas was used to disperse the crowd protesting against the construction of a rubbish dump in the area the locals who claim the futurist right is too close to the residential buildings have been opposing the plan for several months. only changes will help the global financial system avoid future trouble to meet inventive sent the clear message during an annual economic forum in china the event has been dubbed asia's davos as it brings together the political and business elites of the region and silly reports now from the venue. leaders of the of brics countries have come to be a blowout for him would be a consensus they have reached at the summit that they want to see reforms both maybe if your national financial system as well as the growth of global governance in order to reflect what they see as a stronger reality of the power of not moving from the graphic role for they have brought up the being offered an alternative to be a global reserve currency because of her being a dominated by the rest although nothing got put into detail but they do want to

see reform in that as well another thing they did bring out is the a situation in japan i think that perfect for them to get a wants to see our cooperation in the pursuit of a safe nuclear energy specially safety mechanism in dealing with catastrophes as they had seen in japan and i think today that they are really bringing up is that of the issue of social inequality that could arise from very speedy economic growth now they don't want to see the bush becoming richer and the poor becoming more that gap widening therefore they don't want to sacrifice the ability in their pursuit of their economic goals will it get more insight now i'm joined by mark mason a from goldman sachs asia thank you very much for joining us now we have seen every year consensus from the brics on it how do you think a pair consensus is going to impact the economic and political world so i think this is a very positive development for the world i think the fact that these five major economies across all the major it consonance the world have now come together in a coordinated fashion is very positive has been

a general understanding of the rise of the economic power of the four contras 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 it never simple economic strength of rising strength of these areas and thinking carefully on how they are how to interact and deal with that 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 not all the politically correct eventually all five countries are members of the u.n. security council they do want to see more influence. and therefore they want to see be a pursuit again other economic power in line with their political clout as well. as us in their reporting there twenty minutes past the hour in the russian capital just a few moments from now well we'll have the latest business news here in moscow with kareena stay with us for that.

they come in. so long to play with. the other one. is that the river. is. chasing a drug. cartel.

well welcome to our business books and good to have you with me this hour b.p. boss paul dudley met the head of ross nath in moscow on friday in a bid to personally salvage the share swap deal between the two companies and the missing newspaper reports he's russian partners want forty billion dollars to get out of the way. or has a story. for b.p. he wouldn't tell us what robert dudley was in town to talk about but i think it's fair enough to assume that the sixteen billion dollars deal between b.p. and ross next might have cropped up somewhere in the conversation when is the future of that deal at the moment well it lies in the hands of b.p.

they've got to come to an agreement with their current russian partners. to buy out their shares in the joint venture g n k b p now they are said they're willing to listen to what they call sensible proposals for their shares what is a sensible proposal to put a valuation of eighty billion dollars on t n k p p s twenty billion dollars more than the company was valued at on the stock exchange at the beginning of the week now they'd be looking for half of that forty billion in order to relinquish their stake in not company oh forty billion spall more than the twenty seven billion that was offered by b.p. on wednesday so both sides seem to have set out their starting points for negotiations they'll be looking to try and come to an agreement somewhere in the middle for this deal to go ahead the russian shareholders of g.m. k.b.p.s. said that they want to see a deal between t. and k b p and sniffed over the the all important exploration of oil in the arctic

now this is where we have a problem because. they want to pay not with k.p. but the head of ross never said that they'd already turned down a bit from t n j b b to buy into ross now if they're not interested in doing business with them they only want to deal with the peak it's been. nobody it seems because they have to also ruled out doing any deal with shell so it seems to be freaky you have to get their heads together come up with some kind of solution so they can put this put this space all going so it's a bit and come up with us all important to their russian partners so they can go ahead and do that deal with ross next and explore the oil in the arctic. more ross nafta companies have suggest the firm should be privatized in three to five years and not next year as the government is planning he says the state will make more money if it waits as the company will double in value by two thousand and sixteen the government wants to sell around fifteen percent of ralston after
