one of colonel gadhafi is envoys it comes to moscow where russia's foreign minister has an end to the fighting and to observe the un's resolution. russian a touch officials are taken to task accused of mass and present links to a boy who died in custody just over a year ago. paying the price for portugal the e.u. nations stump up seventy eight billion euro but grow weary of bailing out growth countries with concerns that spain and so on the slow. they suspect that kind of boy in the capital russian police arrested by a court using human lives

a. worldwide news live from moscow this is not say that russia was calling on colonel gadhafi his regime to stop the bloodshed and stick to the u.n. resolution the foreign minister met a libyan leadership representative here in moscow who said they're ready to listen but only when the rebels lay down their arms and nato stops the bombing. is following the talks foreign minister lavrov described talks with libyan authorities as productive he's managed to convince them to follow the u.n. security council's resolutions to create safety zones in the country to cordray to get the u.n. security council one distribution of humanitarian aid throughout the country to follow the road map presented by the african union and to let international observers inside the country that would be monitoring how those resolutions are

fulfilled however in their turn living in the thirty's has conditions under which they willing to do so. people got to use tripoli is willing to consider approaches based on the african union road map for peace they are ready to fully meet the requirements of the un resolution only but said it was necessary for the opposition to make similar moves and for nato to stop bombing turning israel love ruth once again stressed that nato is actions in libya to be younger as aleutians of the u.n. security council and that there is no military solution to this all day and even though russia is not a mediator in this particular conflict it does agree with the roadmap presented by the african union opposition members are also to come to moscow to hold talks with foreign minister lavrov however the visit has been postponed it was supposed to come to morrow nonetheless they're still coming to moscow they're still willing to talk however many are saying that there's some clear cut reasons why the rebel

government doesn't want a ceasefire washington's perfect many leader mahmoud jibril the leader of libya's transitional national council leaves and study in the u.s. for years and on his latest visit to washington he didn't fail to show how devoted he is to american values we. i really believe and we really aspire to the message we cross to the american public that we are really here to join hands to build a democratic could be in the libyan soil and washington big join hands with those seeking to replace gadhafi and take over power in libya to help prop them up the u.s. pledged to funnel billions of dollars of could up its present assets to the transitional council i am currently drafting legislation at the request of the state department and the administration that will authorize the transfer of available cash assets

to the council but the support from washington comes not only in money and tomahawk missiles but also in military command one of the commanders of the libyan rebel army is general calif i have heard a long time could be to factor he lived in a launching ten suburb for the last twenty years just minutes away from cia headquarters although any intelligence connections have never been officially confirmed at the moment we have cia operatives all over eastern syria and iraq are cia agents already there even before obama recognizes and has torah or we stand libya along working alone sites french intelligence and british s.a.'s as well they are manipulating the agenda of this transitional council some analysts say the us is using the turmoil in libya to propel to power people who would be loyal to their interests you look at this collection of job real job yunus and if there are these people are foreign agents they're nato stooges they're they're

completely controlled and they will never be able to assert any kind of independent autonomous libya the risks of the proper regime and that this will degenerate into chaos and number of leaders who were propped up by washington have based popular discontent in egypt hosni mubarak and been extensively supported by the. us their kids despite the mess they disapproval of his policies yemen is seen by law and pro care as sort of the rule of its president who many believe has managed to hold onto power only thinks to u.s. support and the government of hamid karzai in afghanistan has been struggling with public discontent for years the u.s. and its allies will go into this there was some sort of a regime that we approve of but the process is not going to be a democratic one and in the long run the odds are overwhelming that the libyan people will reject that regime having clearly taken sides in the league and civil war not simply is now seeking to forge strong ties with whoever might come to power

there but analysts say such a noble warning support financial military and political never comes without strings attached i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. . libya itself a nato airstrike has struck a security services building and the headquarters of the country's and corruption agency could a few officials claim the bombing was to destroy files on corruption linked to the rebel leadership the two buildings are close to a residence of colonel gadhafi which is being regularly hit by nato attacks it comes after the war crimes court announced it is seeking to arrest the libyan. investigative journalist attorney course says it's the alliance we should be held to account. and nato has shown in other campaigns around the world but it starts off with this sort of pretense that they want to have a sure shot war and what it happens is it turns into a long protracted. war where actually who does want out of this the military

industrial complex these massive military companies who are supplying all this weaponry tonight oh and the people who do best out of it in fact both sides. military congress from both sides do well so i think that i don't think that the nato side really wants to make this a short thing at all they actually would all like a long protracted conflict. and they would like ultimately to take control of libya's oil and libya's finances which is what this is all about we don't see colonel gadhafi going into foreign countries invading them bombing them attacking them we don't see these long protracted wars carried out by colonel gadhafi i think he's the least of our problems and we should see tony blair and george bush in the doctor the international criminal court you are with r.t. live from moscow still ahead for you this hour spicing up the space race. on its extraterrestrial ambitions go far beyond the launching of the space station the chinese hoping to land a man on the moon by twenty twenty five and

a man on mars by twenty forty hours raging reveals its cosmic plans we look at whether that will mean competition or cooperation for the current space superpowers . from b.p.'s arctic ambitions get that sinking feeling that plans to work its plans rather to hook up with a russian oil for good with the skids the details are becoming shortly on the party's business update. a suspect about to squeeze me kind of has been arrested here in moscow he's thought of butchered at least one of his acquaintances and was found by police eating a meal that contained human liver but he's pretty rough or has the details. over the past two weeks dismembered body parts are being found in me but there by the moscow river as well as here in western moscow where i am right now now one of those body parts that was found was partially harmed and investigators were able to use the thing to get fingerprints to positively identify the victim as you go

over forty year old man they then went around talk to his circle of friends which led them here to this apartment building where they questioned and eventually arrested nicholai shadid in sharjah in had admitted to the the officers who arrested him it was he who had who had murdered your goal of he also admitted to having eaten parts of the victim's body and in fact in the apartment where he was arrested police recovered the the tools that were used to dismember his victim and also and also parts of human liver that is being cut up in cooked in a stew the charger and i had been eating had been described by people in this area as somebody who had a history of mental illness and the the manager of the apartment building was actually. at the scene for the arrest and saw him being taken away well hold on for

an interview go his mother had asked him to open the door because he wouldn't open up to the police i came to the door asked him to open it but he wouldn't so we kicked it in but first he claimed he hadn't done anything then police found a liver in his refrigerator it just showed it was human after that he started turning the truth about what happened he couldn't remember half of it because he was drunk when he did it the victim he remembered was from rostov and it recently got out of jail and having to go to invited the man to his apartment he would invite anyone who offered to buy him alcohol for. talking to the neighbors and other people who live around this area we're building up a picture of a a very. individual however some of the neighbors that we have spoken to said that they really can't believe that this is happening not only in their in their local area but somebody who lived so close to them could have carried it out whereas others have said that they suspect this. child did in. something for quite

a long time. i was cleaning the rubbish bin container was trying to press it down it was then i saw a box covered in plastic bags i tried to move it and saw some hand sticking out he was just can't believe this this person has lived next to us for so many years and all of a sudden she does this image of he's a super person he's a schizophrenia world and then it turns out he's even someone. that's not the only chilling case of kind of all as i'm in russia recently at r.t. dot com we reported on to some petersburg teenagers who were convicted of killing and eating a female friend a year ago. with r.t. live from moscow now portugal's rescue isn't coming cheap it will cost its partners

seventy eight billion euros after finance ministers cleared the way to bail out another debt ridden country it's the third you nation to get a massive aid package after greece and ireland and given that greece has its hands out for more funds the bailout remedy is actually working. the eurozone is in serious trouble there's a storm of controversy already growing over the seventy eight billion euro rescue package for portugal which has been agreed by the finance ministers of the european union here in brussels several states have already come out and openly criticized finland being among them one dutch m.p. here told me it's really not the job of the prudent states in the european union to be restoring those countries which have been more ridiculous for example portugal now the i.m.f. the international monetary fund is supposed to be coordinating this rescue package is also supposed to stump up a third of that cash but its head dominique strauss kahn has just been arrested on

sexual assault charges in new york so there's turmoil there as well greece is a country that's already received a bailout but it's already saying it needs more cash now we're clear how taxpayers across the rest of the e.u. will react this time of economic difficulty to having to bail out those countries and the belgian foreign minister here the belgian finance minister has said that he really wants to see greece sorting out its problems first before it gets more money now the four critically ill economies of the european union and known as the pigs that's portugal ireland greece and spain and by far the biggest economy and therefore of the biggest concern is spain we've got horrible statistics like almost one in two young people in spain are out of work the question is being too big to fail that may be a saving grace that the euro zone countries simply can't afford to let

a because country as spain go by the wayside and fall as well. what is don't you wish are reporting right well the debts deepening on the other side of the atlantic as well the united states now having a fourteen point three trillion dollar hole to fill emergency measures are being considered superfund america from defaulting the government is likely to arrange loans from two pension funds to help keep it afloat for the next few weeks earlier this year the i.m.f. warned washington that it urgently needed to tackle its huge deficit congress is now negotiating with the white house to see what america can borrow an investment banker raj doshi says the u.s. doesn't have leaders brave enough to defeat the debt. well what all this will amount to is eventually the death of the dollar you know when the united states doesn't have a revenue problem and we have a real spending problem you know as dr mark probert said you know we're really in the end game here you know unless we really start to rebalance ourselves there won't be anyone to show up the treasury auctions and this isn't by the way style

economics pretty soon if we don't get this issue in order no one is going to be showing up i mean what kind of message are we really sending out to our creditors here i mean if you were the leader of a company whose triptans company its just about every quarter do you think your creditors or shareholders will continue to finance your business i mean what this will amount to is a decrease in standard of living if we don't raise the debt ceiling but that's reality you know we're broke i mean not that no woman has already been raised ten times over the past fifteen years and meanwhile the national debt has tripled and it's clear that these politicians have no real intention of going to the real fundamental issue at hand and that's where overspent and we're really ever is here as a nation and it's clear that they have no intention of paying this bag without monetizing you know from dominic sex crimes of the tax evader himself to me gee you know we don't have a real leader out there was really really ready to talk about the real issues at hand here. just a few hours here on our team. stacy how about have their own ideas about why the dollar is going and diving. graver danger than your

so this is axel mark in the financial times but only let me explain something about the dollar enjoying a bit of a balance recently tied exactly to the moment when it been logged and spectacle down simply pakistan's violence films that eleventh american state sanctioned terrorist blood guts pentagon arm military conflict the military industrial complex i.e. u d i u d s it's a huge splatter fest that we've seen which is the basis for the rally in the dollar there's no. elms there was no manufacturing there good thing back in the dollar this frickin state sanctioned terrorist acts that's what the cultural.

you would are to me now several russian attacks officials wondering if the tables turned they're being investigated as of stealing forty seven million dollars as part of a probe by going. died in custody in two thousand and nine after i looked at her being refused medical treatment as friends like a published his findings are really going to tell us more about this so the case is being widened what more do we know both this we. just mentioned friends that you believed to have published a video on the internet claiming that there is the elaborate scheme of talks of tax fraud that was the place for several years which allowed some of the tax officials to extract more than forty seven billion or do more than forty seven million dollars from russia's taxes that's the money that was already paid by russian taxpayers it was transferred to various offshore accounts and to swiss bank accounts now we do know at this point that the swiss banks have already closed down

the all of the tax officials which are under suspicion however the investigative reverses in this to get a committee has started to pull in every probe into this case so there's absolutely nothing is exactly nothing is precisely certain. these discrepancies meanwhile are alleging that he was the man who actually has found out about this tax evasion scheme and that was the reason why he was imprisoned in the first case afterwards died in the upper body confinement in two thousand nine hundred the pool continues and of course we're still waiting for the investigative committee to make a ruling in this case one way or another i want to read you give us a couple of details there about what actually happened. but are there any new developments that you know well at this point the case is still under investigation they're still probing. they're still probing the details of his death going to come find me. if november of two thousand and nine. he was imprisoned into it he was

taken into custody in two thousand and ten all those tax evasion he. he persisted that he was innocent was also diagnosed with cold blooded later while he was still cool in a confinement and his lawyers and friends and family are saying that he was refusing treatment which led to his death because they also elizabeth was beaten everything disengagement into the case see news and at this point we know that the investigative media has said that. those who are under investigation in the case of the segment i have never had any swiss bank accounts or are not known to have any swiss bank accounts so whether or not this these news delegations the tax fraud by russian tax that this was. the distribution of between investigation all that said that so you don't need to do whether or not the two are related yet remains unclear

and that was to get into the case continues. the next hearing will be filled in later this year or sometime in the summer i mean it was for love in moscow thank you. for some other headlines from around the world this hour the queen has become the first british monarch visit the republic of god and in more than a century king george the fifth was the last major royal visit when the country was still part of britain ireland won independence in one nine hundred twenty two but the north remained part of the u.k. and bought it so much of the past one hundred years there's been a resurgence of sporadic types in recent months. he's promising to provide over fifteen thousand houses for people made homeless by the fukushima nuclear crisis also. he needs to retrieve the cost from the exclusion zone in the next few weeks and closely monitor the health. despite used to further reactors may also be in

critical condition. but china has unveiled plans to build its own space station by the end of the decade and to team up with russia land a man on mars by two thousand and forty harry morton reports on the blue sky thinking which looks set to leave china's rivals in the space race far behind beijing space city opening its doors to the media as china announces its intention to build its own space station by twenty twenty five all the international space station and while some see chinese advances in space travel as a potential for it officials here are keen to stress the spirit of cooperation they say is behind china's space program phone and we're looking forward to cooperating with other countries in the field of space exploration and we're also looking forward to getting more countries during this work so we can promote the common goals of mankind obviously for the moment though china's space program is doing

very well on its own since becoming only the first country in the world to send a man into space in two thousand and three the chinese also carried out the space walk in two thousand and eight and the country isn't going to stop. trying as extraterrestrial ambitions go far beyond the launching of the space station the chinese hoping to land a man on the moon by twenty twenty five and a man on mars by twenty forty an ambitious timetable by anyone's standards. however it's the very speed and nature of china's space program that has some including the u.s. worried most of the tens of billions of dollars that the chinese have spent on these projects has come from the country's military budgets and with china's downing of a damaged weather satellite using a ballistic missile back in two thousand and seven some are now talking of the potential for a new space arms race. janus is developing in space program like any other superpower this technology is the most advanced and mostly

used during peacetime but if needed some technologies could also be used during war . chinese officials deny the country's manned space program has any military uses several european countries are expressing interest in using any future space station for research and beijing says that it's currently working with russia on its mission to put a man on mars henry morton faulty aging. and later this hour here in our man at the helm of the european air space station will be telling us how he hopes to keep the cash flowing for space exploration as part of the eurozone go broke. your work hopped up. on planet earth. from playing with earth and the sea a good deal of the. manned space flight but it's not the only thing but it's on the bottom part of space because that's one of our the best off

space on planet earth and they all put on condition trouble for all of the world but. only if you're coming away a little later here on r.t. but next though how b.p. is being brought back down to earth with a bump details an extra coming out about our business. oh and welcome to our business he's here in r t thanks for joining me this hour b.p. and last night's arctic exploration and share swap deal has collapsed sources close to ross now say it will be looking for a new partner to explore the arctic the failure of its agreement with b.p. comes out to be peace in russia a are reportedly rejected a thirty two billion dollars offer to buy its stake and. they are has consistently chatted to the nature of the arctic deal saying it broke its shareholder agreement

with b.p. however sources suggest they are is still prepared to negotiate if certain conditions can be met. after more details i'm joined by noise large senior trader. capital hello nice thanks for joining the program what has the market reaction been to the collapse of this deal. because the market reaction certainly to be has been fairly positive. short term glued to the upside and overall it's. just starting to get over this this gulf of mexico issue because people a lot of money has been going down the route of selling out it's probably a little bit too quickly you start to go down the route of looking at all the ventures within within russia but i think the board of b.p. has got a lot to answer for you that you can consult. the owners of all the fifty percent of the inquiry. and in the meantime i feel that the share price can drift to the

downside is there any believe that this can be resuscitated. well there is a view that the deal can be brought back to disable but he is left in a much weaker position because it does have the upper hand at the moment and on the other hand on the other side. he's quite easily able to go to another world and negotiate the same sort of deal or better deal when he was doing was where you could be so he's left in the middle of the other two parties have the upper hand. he's left around very. now sources say that we also have to is now looking for a new new arctic partner who you think fits the bill. well it's a difficult one here because it will be look at companies with the appropriate experience in drilling within that area within the arctic zone so they'll probably look at companies like wal-mart shell maybe companies even. if you could be looking

at u.s. companies that we know. because the u.k. b.p. does not have the relevant experience with gas is really new york and so world are still seems like an obvious one do you think that's going to hurt reputation any in any way. i think it probably has already reputation i mean it's there's not anything that you can recover from but it's also the issues with gulf of mexico this is going to weigh on b.p. for a long time to come and i think come the next day broadly to see the chairman of b.p. you're probably going to drag over the coals over this because it has cost them money now mr wilson have been a i have previously threatened to sue b.p. for compensation under any other concerns about the potential costs to be. potential costs and it's only now the deal house will for the time be for the father who would say it will cost going to be huge i think they all will be looking

to get on with we doing business will be able to go and do t.n. k. and rosneft probably look to move on to to do a deal with the another major oil firms i don't think there's going to be any issues with. any major costs associated. capital thanks very much for that. and that's all we have time for but don't forget you can always find all stories just log on to our web sites that's r t dot com slash business and i want or. sixth. in.
