beginning of this year analysts say america's foreign policy in the region has seen a major crises the us hasn't learned its luster i think that this is the way policy has been formally for fifty plus years out of this country is that we try to look for some very very we'd like to stay in power back down but washington's old policies could now be seen unfolding in libya a large portion of the leading population is opposing any foreign meddling in their affairs and analysts say washington's efforts to propel its man into power in libya could result in infighting that's going to last years puppet governments tend to be corrupt puppet governments tend not to meet the needs of the people. across across the region and that's because the government is a government that's a tune to the interests of foreigners not to the interests of their own people the inconsistency between what american says and what america does seem to even more obvious when he came to egypt despite hoskin words all three kerry and then on

democratic rule washington had been supporting him for decades many of those years president or as. a leader and a counselor and a friend of the united states but when millions of egyptians took to the streets he was swiftly shifted its policy as better in washington hawks we've never risen ski explains if we conclude for example that the street is going to win which no point abutting our head against the wall in order to save a government that's due on the other hand if we are convinced that the street is going to fail there's no point massively antagonizing the government with which we have to deal. with ever happens is over in yemen where the president is heavily. by the u.s. or even grain which hosts the major u.s. fleet washington was very careful not to undermine their leaders although they too

have violently cracked down on peaceful protesters meanwhile in iraq people regularly protest against their u.s. backed government it but it's rarely even mentioned here these days in saudi arabia one of the u.s. key allies in the region scores of dissidents have been arrested and the u.s. seems to be ok with all of their words have not been the basis of u.s. actions in another longstanding conflict in the middle east despite calling for israel to stop building settlements in the west bank and jerusalem the u.s. veto a u.n. security council resolution that would have condemned this really settlements obama's owes. you know it's there in very quickly. but one state that is coming close to being on washington's blacklist is syria iran's closest ally in the region there is strong condemnation of the syrian leadership and the white house source said the administration is close to declaring

president assad's rule their illegitimate action might follow syria is much more dangerous a situation than libya as far as global issues are concerned it is a crucial player in the balance of power in that region it is a crucial factor in the current. sort of stays in the israeli palestinian situation with the situation in the middle east as unstable as it is analysts say the u.s. involvement in yet another conflict could further destabilize the region and add more red spots on this map going to check on our t. washington d.c. . syria is the current focus of u.s. middle east policy washington is introduced a new batch of sanctions first time target syrian president bashar. he's accused of human rights abuses following violent crackdowns government persistence measures

include an asset freeze and preventing of americans dealing with myself here you also get sanctions against syria and on the arms embargo which was going to place at least experts tell you that in however says it's unlikely to have any effect. i don't think sanctions work i think they are essentially symbolic measure usually when sanctions are applied against a country affect the poor people in that country more than the ruling elites as we saw four years before the united states invaded iraq in two thousand and three they had imposed bloody sanctions regime which led to the loss of children's lives those medicines were prescribed and now they're saying that these sanctions applied largely to. the parties functionaries with these people still carry on i don't think they'll be too affected it will be an irritation but not children he recently

they would be. on very friendly terms with pressure of trying to get him away from iran grab him towards their aid and then possibly even use him and the baathist regime in syria against tehran world that has now fallen by the wayside. egypt's military leadership is not respecting human rights according to international watchdogs even after the revolution to remove dictator hosni mubarak but still reportedly being tortured by security services all of which is feeling concerned that the country and for the control of the school radicals. after all the reason why the barak was unpopular not just his own personality even his family through huge economic problems in egypt with a rapidly growing population lots of unemployment and the religious if you're a traitor or are you don't recycle any of those problems and every original

government the generals and the pointedness to the you know don't really present us a strategic reason i'm afraid for where they want to go so we're seeing the radical groups of the just local disorder taking over people have elections in september but the largest best organized group might say we don't accept the results we think where the real majority and they will actually help the people who come out on the streets the muslim brotherhood maybe i'll come over as enough people to take part in it doesn't really look. bustle to come in the program our team is off to the antarctic too deep but some myths. there's a point where you really want to rein of flies overhead and count on of them in part because i'm not one are we are in of investigators. very important where. you are than a month. in one of the most extreme environments on the planet this is antarctica and people have to be aware that they are far away from civilization sean problems

now has a surprise majority in parliament and their hell bent on a referendum on breaking away from the u.k. . control over a resource responsibility for the problems. and. us . taking charge at home and. abroad revenues from oil and gas in the north sea worth an estimated twenty one billion dollars to the u.k. treasury every year scotland says the reserves are in their waters it's hard to imagine the u.k. would let the oilfields go without a fight particularly as westminster wouldn't be legally obliged to honor a yes vote for scottish people the union jacks days flying outside the scottish parliament could be numbers scotland's ditching the united kingdom would mean the u.k. treasury lost valuable oil and gas revenues and it could be the inspiration for historically

less peaceful independence movements in europe like the basques and the northern irish to follow suit and further destabilize an already weak you the s.n.p. would support other european movements in their own struggles are independents including wales. northern ireland if they so choose it's for the people of those countries to say what we want to do we would never support violence in any shape or form clearly a. deal of sympathy from us. and even those who don't want the u.k. to break up say it's a sense of wanting to reclaim individual nationhood but striping amazement system argument. is taught by the rupee richard it's all about whether you feel that we are scottish and british we want to be and remain part of the union which i think serves scotland well for three hundred years the s.n.p.

still has work to do it wants scotland separate away even the most optimistic polls show only around forty percent of scots would yes and on the streets of edinburgh people are divided the oil industry and say. this we got money generally a day will. be day to other people and all the school in the self. as much as. oh if you. have. been playing that had all. i could put. the s.n.p. has time to bring the on shore grounds it's putting off a referendum until the second top of its five year government it would be the beginning of a new era for scotland which has been independent since seventeen zero seven but

it's always retained a strong and distinct national identity something the s.n.p. will be playing on with all its might newer and. well artie again an exclusive full length interview with kenny macaskill justice minister from the scottish national party coming your way in about twenty minutes his views on how scotland could exist as an independent state. that one of the reasons that some things people in scotland are skeptical about independence is that we're told the poor we're too we can't manage we recognize that these are not just for negotiation but they're not those that are fundamentally right to meet our country people better scotland nor we discovered oil at the sea some years or scott from the from the virtual desert but no recourse to transform the society and its economy it has billions in the buying because we've seen of we still build the

cells weapons of mass destruction in the illegal wars so it's time for us to of ocean of oil revenues the precise amount of stuff to be dissolved in the right plate but it's over oil and gas and it's a renewable energy. germany has criticised countries that have received bailouts saying they haven't done enough to pull themselves out of the dire financial situation chancellor angela merkel rounds on greece demanding i think it's made us workers vacations you also said if they once more her greece spain and portugal to increase their retirement age to that of germany's moves it's a phenomenal analyst and author michael ross says bailing out countries is not something that should be done we are living in a so-called capitalism but this is ridiculous because the capitalism doesn't work anymore everything everywhere every country is being bailed odds are all we have

something like a bank socialism because they're told us tell us i don't want it there's no other choice if we let it go or greece bankrupt or portugal bankrupt and in a capitalistic system this is not only a normal procedure then the banks will suffer and the banks will go bankrupt and as a matter of fact here in germany and not on in germany specially also in france the bearings are full of we stepped and some people although you say that maybe the politicians have been elect mailed by the financial community in order to give the money of the taxpayer to make the banks survive. well luckily later max kaiser delves into the shortcomings of the top of the system he wants the kinds of reports out there today are not. propaganda they have successfully delineated between financial terror and political terror this is commingled into one global financial terrorist dominated global economy there is no

political terror anymore there is no ideology there are no political parties there are no religions there are no country boundaries there is only the market leverage and events to make the crisis go where you want them to go this guy is the hank paulson of the retail side is you know basically you know the equivalent of hank paulson going into a liquor store not going over but he's the same mindset that from the same other there are sprung from the same tomac strauss kahn tarth seaman. but other top stories from around the world but many of the strauss kahn has signed as the head of the international monetary fund and insiders say it's also those who for bail for the charges and section sort of spending. is offering to go on the house arrest. uncle bracelet track his movements his lawyer say he's already

penguins flipped over to the sound of passing planes azziz sean thomas went to separate the truth from its. the penguins of antarctica truly fascinating creatures to watch but are they in trouble from a man made threat. back in one thousand eighty two british pilots in the falklands discovered a phenomenon as they flew over penguin colonies they said the birds would topple over as they lifted their heads to watch the planes fly and by then penguins by the thousands were left on their backs and able to write themselves but is this story true but i think it's something that's why do you know months of topic but i think generally regarded events anyone that knows anything about it has big appear to me to be honest and i thought it was me. as for the second part of the tale a special person had to be employed to turn the birds right side out after they fell otherwise they would die one german ornithologist we spoke to claimed that

this indeed was her job was to look something like this and go every day to see where they followed by many to get them up again and so some sense from the question because they felt like they should but you can't but. thank you very much a further look into anchor's credentials left some doubt as well as a check with the chief of russia's billings house and station located in a unique place between an airstrip and a penguin colony. no no we don't have anyone who does not show up here with all of the controversy surrounding this rumor we decided to go to the source itself to see what the hype to say about the airplane men. unfortunately the penguins were remaining silent on the topic but careful observation revealed that sometimes the penguins appeared to have special dances in a hurry they could be clumsy and often slipped and we even found evidence that they were highly intelligent and good advice of creatures. so you want to preview the

penguins are actually very smart spurred sometimes when they come to the edge of the ice sheets even peeking over looking for leopard seals if one gets too close to the edge another penguin will push you in as a sacrifice it's a tasty water. but snopes dot com an internet myth busting site says that a british science team actually did research to see if the claims were true they found that the penguins only scattered from the noise of the airplanes and not one single penguin a couple backwards but with no real evidence for ourselves we decided to do a final test with a little help from the chilean air force our mission to see if we could put this myth to rest once and for all. and it seems for now the penguins are safe and no one should be moving south for jobs that just couldn't exist in antarctica sean thomas. of the beaches here now with

a business needs and disciplines. oh you want your business r.t. with me to be sure medvedev go russia state run ross nasa maybe seeking compensation for the failed share swap deal with b.p. deputy prime minister eager to see action one of the main architects of the deal says the company's lawyers are studying the viability of a clay section does not specify whether it's b.p. or its russian partners that might be the target. and they had previously threatened to seek compensation from b.p. however consenting semen from the national energy security fund believes there will

find fault with a. real go to court. to show that the position of. it was not in the community because it was politically motivated the main aim was to destroy the view that is i have to. be the consensus but. really the reason was to destroy the sound small computer will not be a problem for it will be another argument for my idea that the main motivation was not because it was politics. representatives of the world's biggest investment firms have met with prime minister putin to discuss the funds russia is setting up to attract investments the ten billion dollar entity will be formally launched at the st petersburg economic forum this june meanwhile t.v. would need to see if the newly appointed head of the funds management reveals some of that back.

unfortunately we can't get that comment we will try to bring it back a bit later a second look at the oil prices that we've got right now was trading about one hundred dollars per barrel a gathering place on the u.s. the reporting unchanged crude inventories contrary to expectations of an increase. all right let's move now to asian stock markets if we can make a loses ground after japan reporter busy d.p. contract by almost two percent in the first quarter of the result showed far greater drop than forecast and making here in the a contraction of three point seven percent they are saying this says are out there on commodity prices with the property and financial stocks also being pushed to the point on week for us dollar here in russia trading will begin in the around one hour's time on both the r.t.s. a nice expose in the black on wednesday they will rebound a five month low so it will boost the boy series of strong earnings reports.

markets have seen a significant selloff in the past few weeks however i think from the t.v. capital believes they are close to the bottom. they're. trying to console the new levels. past couple weeks in a correction practical correction. which we have played it basically i think the market is trying to find some i think. you will not go below it and. generally we are in the extreme once we can work in. trade in a range of between eight hundred and one thousand years. to other news now russia's year to date inflation has reached four point five percent which is eight hundred basis points higher than in the same period last year consumer prices have been driven by higher petrol costs which rose thirteen percent in last month the government still forecasting inflation around seven percent for the whole year but

many economists doubt that this can be achieved. but the russian economy is facing its biggest crisis in decades its national currency is in a freefall having lost over half of its value in less than one that and part the crisis has been caused by russia's taxing trade preferences but. that's in addition to the poor management of the bellerose economy which is largely under a form since the soviet era russia of the international monetary fund for bailout is ready to provide a one billion dollar loan but this is likely to come under certain conditions. if. the situation and i don't think it will be guided by previous patterns of just outright subsidies or transfers but will want to see certain changes in terms of the economic policy approach and in terms of economic policy cooperation

with russia so i think potentially. assistance to build those would be closer trade and investment and probably some. possibility to participate in the privatization process. join me in fifteen minutes time for nothing some of the latest business news here and in russia the headlines of something. the.
