12:05 am
to the e.u. is some kind of promise to the problems now if serbia builds during the think it will be the first time in history that a wretch has jumped onto a sinking ship captured europe's most wanted man on the day our top representative is in town is certainly an achievement but will it finally allow serbia to get one foot in the door to the union largent commission or feel like you said well this is just today serbia is a step closer to being. yesterday but they still need to do major reforms etc the arrest of about the ambitions of serbian president boris tadic couldn't have been spelled out any clearer but his european farsightedness has caused him to overlook what's happening in his own country he's a serbian with a serbian blood he's our man he's a general right. for the jews he's the biggest criminal
12:06 am
he said you know these feelings have already cost protests to erupt across the country and judging from past experience namely the arrest of god on another war crimes suspect serbia a spark of hope could certainly lead to large scale fires of pop icon or just catch another r t belgrade serbia. coming up out of fear of terror attacks is keeping americans in check. it makes people malleable it makes them obedient. now tera texts u.s. government and everyone alerts with some from here all details in a few minutes. but first the motto of protection server rings hollow for some of them erica's boys in blue a group of activists in washington right now handled the rest of this weekend but don't see the jefferson memorial center was among them he was
12:07 am
a resident of the ground and one officer. has his account of what happened. you can see from the video footage that what we were doing was entirely peaceful we were expressing ourselves through dance the police force in america does not exist for public safety it does not exist to provide for the needs of the people it does not exist to solve crimes or hunt down criminals it exists to generate revenue for the government and control the population and what we did in our demonstrate she was frozen to the true brutal nature of the police force and the kind of people who are kind of dogs the mentality of those who make up that police force the people who think it is ok to hobby slam somebody and show somebody because they're doing something that you don't like and their excuse yesterday was that while we were doing was causing a disturbance at the memorial and essentially making it impossible for other people to enjoy the memorial energy compared to the disturbance caused by their arrest which led to them shutting the moral itself down for about thirty minutes they were
12:08 am
clearly the greater disturbance we had a reporter there from a local of my n.b.c. affiliate kicked out of the memorial these guys were there they were filming the interview floor of the event they got it all on camera they had their cameramen in there recording this thing and the cops keep them out. well from the excessive use of force by police and the ever encroaching restrictions of the patriot act until ten millions have been growing in the us since the events of nine eleven now a presence of mamma has agreed to extend the f.b.i. powers to keep the wise and the reports warmongers will soon be able to text her that's a record. the country that created i phones. has more than three hundred million wireless users and in the name of national security the u.s. government will soon have a direct link to each and every handheld device it's like a piece of this is going to it's there for good reason ok hold that we never have

12:10 am
the event that the government decides that something's happening that we want to know about but just as the introduction of the patriot act came right after nine eleven so this new kind of technological invasion comes to us without any public discussion right after the assassination of osama bin laden and why you professor and author mark crispin miller says americans are living in an age of creeping authoritarianism and scare tactics they use fear for any kind of government that craves more control over people's wives and thoughts is that it makes people malleable it makes them obedient i mean you go to any airport today. and you see this in action people are weakly taking authors. reading to get in groped under the auspices of airport safety babies senior citizens and everyone in between must now endure pat downs or pass through body scanners before boarding in
12:11 am
the case of muslim americans that may not be enough sixty's following the killing of osama bin ladin for a mom's on two separate u.s. flights were illegally kicked off planes for looking suspicious and you have a few hate mongers who who can can can evoke emotions you know enough what people do they play on people's emotions to play on people's ignorance about islam and muslims you see and also this was created a climate of fear you see if you see something suspicious in the parking lot or in the store say something immediately in december the department of homeland security began encouraging americans to report suspicious activity to the country's largest food retailer wal-mart partnership with washington has been accused of perpetrating a climate of panic and subsequent need for more surveillance you need to create an enemy for people to rally behind analysts wars and the fact that we're spending over fifty percent of our taxes on war and our national defense when there's really
12:12 am
no threat directly to this country and they need to keep calibrating this spending and following the assassination of enemy number one and american lawmaker called for an increase in rail safety funding and the creation of a no ride list as u.s. officials warn of more terror threats following bin laden's death many americans remain concerned while others are left wondering about the dangers of forsaking too much liberty for security. or archie and he or. a few minutes. put cheap energy consuming money you know in smooth states as her hopes for the us it's green clean potentials in question for sure thing. the race to be boss of the international monetary fund is not so much about who gets to where the candidate comes from. europe decides who gets the post and you is already lining up the candidates but the bric countries brazil russia india and
12:13 am
china have other ideas. on how the for the leading emerging economies say it's high time someone else how to get. it's a change they don't believe in with the former director dominic straw's current out of the financial picture they're going to is looking for a suitable replacement and while the current financial situation in europe may suggest a new approach is needed to solve the problems by looks of it the i.m.f. will go in the other direction the weight of tradition and also the fact that there has been a longstanding deal between the united states and europe the u.s. will have the world bank and europe has the fun i'm sure the europeans would convince all leading thinkers on the matter that at this juncture you still need someone familiar with the problems of the usual some the runner up is the french finance minister christine legarde and while europeans hail her as one of the strongest economists in the euro zone some remain skeptical about her progress and
12:14 am
christine will grow to become the next out of the. short run. more of the same as long as they can sustain it's all of us you know. maybe. even leaving europe so they may not be able to maintain these policies but the trend is for them to continue to try greece's debt is what i mean unfortunately are too far ahead and soon to find something a very similar issue each. person asking why must it be even now and what happened to promise a fresh face is something that was sinking up here. i think where if christine does get the job i think it will be a bit. of the i.m.f. . if you remember dominic straus only a few months ago had said. that there should be
12:15 am
a change in the global order specially since india and china over the last three or four years have been the world's largest economies and it's india and china. that have really the world out of the economic slump that it has been in the last few years it might of the world's most powerful organisations the international monetary fund has the power not only to receive countries but to plunge them into despair take russia for example some say they're going to zation played a crucial role in bringing about the default of one nine hundred ninety eight which left thousands of people penniless and desperate i remember when the soviet union broke up and the i.m.f. and the rest of the g seven prescribed economic advice to the new russia and it was completely disastrous this complete leashing of the russian economy appetite completely destroyed in several ways and i think that's what the i.m.f. has done to several other economies bailing out greece and as you know bailout for
12:16 am
portugal italy and spain are also on the cards sex scandals broken pledges deepening debt as you were britain's jointing call itself from its fiscal chaos it seems clear that a new approach is vital to stay afloat but the international monetary fund seems to focus more on keeping rising economies out of the picture and on solving the many problems it now faces. r.t. . r.t. hears from one on european support for the i.m.f. stop drop head of kazakhstan's national bank says it's time europe's not ended is just some of the saying. this. is very nice a message the developed countries and the european countries would like to maintain this little one which is not necessary for here and i think change is. probably going to go far enough now it's
12:17 am
a somewhat different organization not as ideological as in one thousand mentors. american it was in one thousand. you could argue about the greed or size or the exchanges with him what sort of some people read of this change was not going far enough. rush or is finally lifting its grain export ban as droughts and flooding threaten quotes from europe to the us for more on this let's cross to the r.t. is there so you know what's changed to allow shipping to resume well the russian government is saying that. storage is god grant was imposed last summer after the worst drought in decades strongly russian crops the country was the world's second biggest which exporter of this band reduced supply and contributed to global food prices surging to record highs. exports from russia are unlikely to be record so
12:18 am
five may take time for shipments to resume so concerns about whether crops around the world mean a significant prize draw shouldn't be expected in the near future we'll have more on that in business in about ten minutes. ok thanks about. well as fuel prices increase to painful levels for most consumers i think access to cheap in the us has become very tempting for world leaders as terms of dollars in european visit proved just that the u.s. leader is keen to poland's giant reserves of shale gas could be a boost for europe's energy self-sufficiency but there's a big price to pay as a country which open reports. it's cheap it's readily available and it's made in the united states washington has hailed shale gas as the next best thing and energy development over the past five years the u.s. has invested billions of dollars into the filter bringing cheap energy to consumers
12:19 am
still deposits lie deep underground and unlike natural gas shale is widely available in the u.s. which means the country doesn't have to depend on overseas import go out for the shale revolution stemmed from high gas prices the main question right now is how will the shale gas industry survive now the gas prices are one hundred two hundred fifty dollars a barrel which is four times less than they were five years ago when shill development began. and other potential plus of shale of course is stopping countries on russia which supplies most of europe with natural gas rights now it's more holds then facts and we have really to think realistically about this source of energy we don't want to sink in to terms of cause in russia like america have thought some are already suggesting that it chilled it was it's our pound in europe russia will lose the benefit of selling resources to other
12:20 am
countries what's been happening that's wrong tower it doesn't seem to be losing any sleep over the likelihood of these we recognize prospects a number of countries like france have already put in place a ban on shale gas extraction on their territories. we're watching the situation and withing that local it's very viable but it will remain a local gas supply in the us it's impossible to extra gas at a loss for long and if you look at the shale gas players right now you'll see that most of them are losing money. chil gas may be easily available but its development does not come cheap. you order to get shale gas you must drill horizontally incessantly and that means the profit margin of the process gets lost very fast. and it's environmentally and human friendly status is also in question about the chill gases extracted by hydro fracking that means special
12:21 am
chemicals around into the water to break up the rock formations the components of these chemicals are kept secret by the companies in the united states and claim it's a commercial secret that water laced with chemicals ends up in drinking water so shell gas development poses a serious threat to the environment and health. chill gas may be fast on its way to becoming a total game changer on the u.s. and o.j. markets but like any seeming miracle cure shale gas may prove yes and other folds and dangerous economy exceeded their actual archie. but now at some other news this hour a series of bombings in nigeria have killed at least ten people and injured dozens of others several explosions went off near an army barracks. where the blast happened almost simultaneously in the capital attacks just hours after president

12:25 am
a broadly downward trend stock exchanges that raise their first quarter gains and now are hovering at december levels and just say that after a healthy correction russian equity is gathering momentum but we've seen certainly with my sixty's that in recent in recent months has moved up from a level of five hundred or the up to two thousand and then you start to come back or in the last two months or so down to around about fifteen sixteen hundred and the move down has been increased economic concerns with what's going on in europe with what's going on in the middle east and on the back of potentially a general economic slowdown but what we're seeing is renewed interest in russian stocks so all that money has come out i do think that money could come back into the russian market in the next few days in the in the coming weeks as well. the russian central bank is holding a meeting where they're going to be talking about the refinance rate
12:26 am
a key indicator has direct influence on inflation which is one of the main concerns regarding the country's economic growth. russian economy is still suffering from the lack of statements we know that there was it was it fun with this us they'd say it's about russian cooperation doesn't feel safe much so louis inflation pressure and the creation rate will be very much in the world into a still it russian household or the safe more and also you know in the long term plans because you have to understand that inflation is extremely bad when vestments now it's very hard to plan again this week keys for the next ten years to you i'm not quite sure it would be inflation rate will stay the level but say it several sets the standard inflation is fluctuates in around the rate of eight to ten percent so this is result in their file certainly for the competence of their parents certainly for the russian household which they look planned they are spending so as a result i think inflation is clues that right. let's take
12:27 am

12:28 am
tells us about the best buying opportunities in the country at the moment. we expect that same mosque like louis the central bank will keep interest rate of current level and this will this might provide some new positive for impulse through the market we should also watch the ruble boris' market which was a bit softer over the last week on both new issues and also the problems with how well we're also might see a bit more demand turned one crisis a bit firmer this week i think of a consumer. pretty good we have seen a real a prime performer soft market new told fox five also looks like that oil and gas sector is likely true and we're also just look at the map as well it was really out of the salt i don't know and now it looks like the abolished some pretty attractive . so if you can catch up the latest business news and all that side.
