as niam of the russian capital you're watching r t a marina joshing welcome to the program well it's nearly a month into the operation in libya and for those countries involved that's causing trouble back home especially in france where the president's feeling the pinch as daniel bushell reports it's not being helped by the country's intervention and its former colony of ivory coast with nicolas sarkozy's career under threats from accusations of imperialism. if nicolas sarkozy hope to intervene in libya and the ivory coast with his popularity it's backfired he's no one for the most unpopular president in the history of france's fifth republic according to the latest opinion polls at the weekend the main beneficiary has been breed's ahead of the head of the national front part she's expected to knock him out of next year's presidential elections sarkozy wants pledge france will never again kill people in africa the

pen told me he's broken that promise so this was the scene as a post-colonial reaction by france where behaving like this was deciding who is best and who is good the president's policies a mirrored at former colleagues one inflexible personal style x. finance minister. lift the ruling party this month admitting they called to work together to form a human rights minister runway yet they has quit to sarkozy let colonel gadhafi use france she said as a doormat toward a lot of his feet by hosting him in paris now he's hunting the same man down sarkozy also sacked his integration advisor for disagreeing with him directly man that man told r.t. the president doesn't know how to compromise. there's no place for twenty the century colonialism to be but there should always be room for negotiation it's all

leaves nicolas sarkozy with few friends just when he needs them it's become a lonely life inside the presidential palace but mr sarkozy will tell your political opponents pulling apart his foreign policy even for lies like nobody could be the talk of his theory of a mission. to fill pounds work with the president for over seventeen years the former premier fears libya's turning into another afghanistan deep. with no clear deadline we cannot go in any country without knowing when we will go out i think this is the listen we did not come from afghanistan in its global diplomacy it's the same problem. france is facing criticism for what some see as heavy handed intervention in the oil every coast that comes off to germany china brazil russia and india abstained from voting on the un mandated no fly zone over libya

a move from strongly advocated that this is the very safe for the international system that the major part of the world if we take into account the people grab it and. abstain the result is a presidency exposed morte at home and abroad for his arabs. monarchical republic trailing both look pain and the socialists in his bid for reelection in twenty twelve because he looks on likely to mellow leaked memos from a voice as claimed his only chance of winning is to make his policies even more extreme than you see paris. on the ground in libya rebel fighters have retreated from the key eastern town of after having shelling by gadhafi forces and continues a series of the opposition's losses on saturday rebels were advancing to the

strategic well port of brag but were forced back after a sandstorm grounded me your aircraft back in march the u.n. security council passed a resolution allowing the intervention but critics say that what's actually happening there is far from simply enforcing a no fly zone. shortly after counting some says there are questions are striking how much further east in china. just. chinese contracts or some value something like. billion u.s. dollars initially from a chinese point of view the original un resolution is vague as it was. for a no fly zone you know if the chinese initially thought they took it on face value and said well this is going to help stability in the region by having a no fly zone and hopefully things will calm down and we can get back to business as usual obviously we know from. events of the last couple weeks it wasn't just about

a no fly zone this route was really about foreign military intervention on the part of nato. in the region in libya so here this thing all the time the number one economic power in the world is the u.s. this is actually not the case the u.s. is now a number two possibly number three in china and the european common market so china doesn't have to have the hyperactive foreign policy behavioral patterns that the west good uses to get what he needs to get out of the situation in the trades will say wait patiently and they'll make their move cordingley journalist patrick harris and speaking from one of their now on the way r.t. will look into the greek myth of graduate opportunity. the graduation day at the economics and aversive in athens an exciting day for most of the students of course but the irony of the situation is that most of them will not be able to find a job in their home country a year out of the e.s.b. a lot of dance stricken greece the country's bright us must now look abroad for

their future we report. the american consumer avatar fuels thousands of jobs in the developing world but the payback is a legacy of pollution and those goods are past their best firms are getting around regulations and using countries like india as a dumping ground as british leader reports. it's the sound americans love to hear the sound of the latest laptop or the newest netbook studies show that these days the useful life span of a computer is only two years and every day americans dump their junk in the hope of keeping up with the joneses tallying up to a total of three million tons of electronic waste every year but where does it all go. welcome to ceylon pour a predominantly muslim mostly poverty stricken area of east l.a. where thousands of indians come to turn trash into what they see as

a tiny treasure and one of the my world has only been growing it's dismantling them . that's how i mean by living muhammad is on this thirty two years old and has been tearing apart this trash for ten years in a d.v. good goods were three hundred to five hundred split between friends and can sell the raw materials and make about a dollar a day unlike regular trash that can simply be tossed away in many developed countries including parts of the u.s. electronic waste must be sent to a special collection agency that is supposed to responsibly recycle the parts however while it can cost these agencies anywhere from fifteen to thirty dollars to properly recycle a computer they can actually make the same amount if they ship it to a developing country like india were eager buyers think they can turn a profit on the goods deli espoused becoming one of the biggest the waste dumping sites in the world trash from developed countries comes here to india where those

with few options for survival hope to cash in on this job and even though it's illegal under the basil convention to ship hazardous material to india companies define the junk a second hand goods are mixed models to customs officials to get away with it many countries feel that they need the second hand computers because the feelings of a few of putting in that country. but what they get into exchange for that is really joe robbie algarve all is the director of toxics away a group dedicated to protecting migrant workers from the dangers of electronic waste and workers having a very putting strong suits exposing them to all kinds of. it's a reality most of these workers know all too well but it's a dirty job but at least for now gives them a means to survive. i know what i do is not good for my health but i have nor the source of income nor the job so i have to do something or the horror that goes with

history to graduation day at the economics an aversive in athens an exciting day for most of the students of course but the irony of the situation is that most of them will not be able to find a job in their home country that's a worrying trend brought about by the world financial crisis which has lived deep scars on the greek economy. for. two master's degrees in political science and history and an unfinished ph d. but his education seems to matter a little here in this sort of song. things like specifically in the private sector. if you don't work very well in this business of being educated abroad it's very lose the connection because we were not here for example

the broad to come by and it's more difficult to be the object of the collection of students to spend three years in total looking for a job in his country that's aside from doing mandatory military service now he's thinking it's time to dust off his shoes and go rest i'm going to give you the swords in england if it does become bogged. down what. he supplied is shared by many thirty something greeks some like me call is rely on their parents for help and ground. sometimes i'm thinking of finding something or something there were. something like i'm very close but i really. believe this financial crisis desist despair may take over the entire country music

greece has been badly affected by the crisis the country is in danger of losing a lot of foreign interest. and not just financially speaking the young energetic and educated workforce may leave the country and mass never to be seen here again it becomes corti earth and greece. and greece isn't the only country that's financially flatlining it omics watchers say the u.s. is lucky to have kept the wolves from the door up to now and it's up for discussion later today in graustark on r.t. here are some of what's a story. behind it states of america if we didn't have the dollar as the defacto reserve currency of the world we'd be greece and the us is actually old or again we greeks feel as if you add all the i'm funded liabilities to the national debt figure i'm. the national debt figure. isn't really what this is really about but really the unfunded liabilities of the so-called fiscal year well that's two hundred two trillion u.s.

dollars so in many ways that's and then greece the budget deficit is very small as the same as crazy of ten point eight percent by just deficits when the eurozone was formed or not that the eurozone is any better i mean they're just they're blowing up right now two or so we say stay out of the u.s. dollar stay out of any form of medium to long term u.s. treasuries but by the way also eurozone doesn't look better again so the rest of me i'm very optimistic going to ok jeffrey in cambridge i'm going to use is that too bleak of a picture there are many people like myself who could be worried about this for thirty years there's nothing magic about about this year the only thing that's bad about this year is it's become a political issue this year the american political system kind of bizarrely swings back and forth between not being concerned at all about the problem and making it much worse with huge tax cuts.

a decade in the making but the most ambitious russian space project is also a move from signs to signs fact a massive radio telescope promises to reveal the mysteries of deep space. is the father of the project he says within a matter of months noting hundreds of kilometers from the earth it will be scanning the far corners of the universe. if you destroy many people wonder is as our planet a sun our galaxy we can't be alone out there and talk of parallel worlds and time travel may sound like science fiction and they say we only know percent about the universe around us and we hope to be able to look beyond that. that are also known as radio astron will be the biggest telescope ever launched into space together with its largest earthbound siblings it will create a network able to provide detailed images of the universe the resolution will be a thousand times sharper than that of america's hubble telescope towards

a radio national will expand the limits of human knowledge we might be standing on the threshold of a revolution when things like dark matter and black holes start come observable. and the heart of the complex is a gigantic ten needs a mirror that can only be seen when the telescope is fully open and it's almost ready to leave its home in moscow and travel to the launch pad in the thousand x. that is in space this will open its twenty seven petals within thirty minutes and will start its exploration piano and those who have been working on the project for more than twenty years can't wait to start getting the first results on a base of the ground observatory that's part of the project says he made sacrifices in favor of radio astro he feels he's devoted every part of his life to eat well initially the interest planned for nine hundred ninety one the breakup of the soviet union put an end to those problems and brought financial difficulties the

project was shelved so fifteen out of those almost thirty years were lost in very now that it's been brought up to date everyone in the industry is holding their breath the emotions well but maturely and frank gold we're back to quality space science and that's trucks work but it works out and with that the whole scientific world which is the mission good luck hope for all of mankind will benefit. our t.v. . get more of everything we're covering here at our get a con but let's see what else is there right now. well we hear from the russians siren lifts the lid on her close contact with the board of italian prime minister silvio berlusconi. and a free ride to the past why hundreds of moscow museums are opening their doors without charge.

well time now for the business news with us stay with us. this is business welcome to the program. significant value added to russia but it's mostly been driven by oil. from you'll see call of crude prices or give a boost to our. i think if we were to see energy prices by destabilizing or going

a little bit lower that would be good for the global backdrop the fact that oil prices would likely stay above one hundred dollars at which level the russian budget balances i think that would be sort of good enough backdrop for the russia story and then we could start to see investors in branching out the gas plays in russia looking for more domestic stories the sort of companies and sectors that benefit for a higher bid from the higher for longer oil revenues like the banks like infrastructure stories like the retailers so i think this second quarter will be a transition we're still looking at a very positive second half for russia we expect to see much greater focus on the stocks that would benefit from the improving economy can we expect to see again from the better budget in fiscal backdrop will be expect there to begin to second quarters you know we come into the second quarter still with a lot of global uncertainties that are affecting the russia story by the end of the think we will see this move towards domestic stories and a calmer oil price are going to the equity markets which will be positive for us.

both prices are down despite saudi arabia cussing out concerns the market is over the supply and crude is stabilizing after the presidential election in nigeria rather peacefully the country's major all exporter brant is trading at just about one hundred twenty three dollars a barrel light sweet crude is that hundred and nine dollars a barrel. let's look at how the stock markets are performing asian shares are trading in the blank this hour when something is going slightly with banking stocks on the rise describing week hike to their required a reserve ratio of chinese that runs you are point seven percent the nikkei has turned positive after losses a strong began his way. so means down around one percent as is carol. as here in washington markets finished friday's trading session makes the all c.s.s. want to positive well be nice it's closed. to negative and rising metal prices

supporters some good natured stocks part of that whole was a tough game that was shares up around six percent. russia's largest internet company down dix has been given an initial value of up to nine billion dollars ahead of its upcoming i.p.o. in the us the wall street journal says the search engine will place around twenty percent of its shares on the nasdaq. staying with technology the world's largest online marketplace has not been double its russian business which has been running less than a year watch it together with canada currently e-bay is biggest foreign operations its managing director high hopes for five that expansion. we see that's a long long trajectory investment still a long trajectory in the future but we believe that the russian market would involve us even are you is our russian translation side you can purchase from european or american sell us we ship to russia and that part of the business is

increasing with triple digit from last year now that are exactly we launched it about i think nine months ago so ten months ago so now we see this is a this period is a very tremendous uptake of this product so it's a very big kind of growth that we see in this market. as it believes north america is a good region for its new public offering the company received good play such as on the home call exchange and your next two partners on is looking for a new addition inches around the globe. but considering some or some other potential least interveners for the future one of the present in north america and we owe him a history of global order quite often and we're trying to accommodate the market so if we see all the fun ministers we can mold boy this race will start in hong kong and i'm interested in being creative play in north america for example we should

seriously consider that as i was his business update there is some more next hour. for. a living in a country that don't understand that there's more violence in the streets of this country than there are in the streets in afghanistan or baghdad.
