launches a new push for peace in b.b. has a special presidential envoy make on the gallop comes to benghazi to try to negotiate with opposition leader leaders this means it calms me and can see why they feel strongly colonel gadhafi has been treated arsenal here in the capital tripoli for more on that journey refinishing just a moment from treat. the imam afroz egypt a three billion dollars bailout bone but it's feared along the line the pockets of former president mubarak's proteges who continue to run the country. the greater gamble america's college leaders find it just one of five will land a job leaving the rest

a struggle with deep debt and desperation. and in business here b.p. may sell its fifty percent stake in taking b.p. to roll sniffed and the objections from b.p.'s russian partners they will lose control of the company will have more on that business program that ultimate is from. is one pm in the russian capital here watching r.t.i. marina joshie are russian envoy starting his peace mission in libya in the latest attempt to bring both sides of the conflict to the negotiating table helmar galavis in benghazi for talks was the opposition but a visit to tripoli is now being rolled out very international i believe in capital for r t o maria mediating between gadhafi and the rebels has proven impossible so far so how is more bells planning to address their. well into the russian special

presidential envoy to make love is today here in leave there to try to mediate in the civil war that has lasted for months already and has already claimed many many lives including innocent civilians and no one can say for sure no one can predict so far how successful the paschal peaceful nation will be but one thing is definitely clear that this mission will not be easy first of all because the khadafi is regime that gadhafi is government has repeatedly strongly reject of the possibility of the colonel gadhafi standing down while this is the major demand of the rivals and without that without driving khadafi from away from power they will say they will not stop fighting the russian peace mediator is here in libya today to try to at least persuade the two sides to start talking and that will.

eventually lead to this the end of. for that purpose michaela is expected to meet with the opposition leaders in the. rubble had in benghazi he was also expected first to visit the capital tripoli as well but now many say that's unlikely to happen for both political and security reasons. we have been able to speak to people from the russian embassy here in tripoli and they say that they have aides unlikely to get the mission to come to tripoli event. that comes after following president but latest statement about it southey when. following the g eight meeting in france has. has lost its legitimacy and he should step down after that. the libyan government has started to see russia.

aligning with. the western powers in its attempt to. unseat two kids are the while before the libyan government has kind of trusted russia because russia initially abstained from voting on the libyan resolution in the u.n. security council authorizing nato military operation here in this country but also visiting both benghazi and tripoli will be very hard logistically because the front line divides the country into two parts the western part controlled by turkey and the eastern part held by the rebels and it's very dangerous and almost impossible to cross it so the only way to get to gaza is through egypt while the only way to get to tripoli to the capital to the there is for tunisia so. peaceful mission is as important as difficult

stuff and i think. well the capital where you are the moment under shelling this morning so bring us the mood from there now what is it like there right now. i know you're absolutely right there rival all for the russian special envoy to leave coincides with kind of an intensification of nature strikes on these military arsenal here in tripoli when we arrived in the sea to be heard gunshots and the sounds of it very very have even bartman we can all say for sure where exactly it is happening but what we can say is that this is quite. quite intense and actually just minutes ago we witnessed like we heard the sounds of a two very have vitamins and saw smoke. like smoke coming out of. from

where it happened so we can say that the situation is very difficult here in tripoli and they took it has indeed intensified its military efforts here just days ago the alliance expanded its war against the gadhafi regime and so has started to use an attack helicopters for the first time and this. gives they to ability to hit the military targets in brutal areas with more precision and maybe avoid casualties the alliance is wide often accused of but at the same time just as well that could lead to further military casualties from. from nato countries. and. intensification could only could also be proven by the statesman's we can hear from . chief recently in brussels. secretary-general rasmussen sad that

he. when he meets with the alliance is defense ministers on wednesday they demanded more countries contribute to the fight against gadhafi and just ahead of a russian special visit to libya the rich foreign secretary has declared after a visit himself the rebels in benghazi that the whole operation here in libya could last beyond christmas so we can say for sure that the street here in leave it is a very difficult and let's hope that the mission by russian special envoy here will be successful all right maria thanks very much for bringing us the subject from the libyan capital mary finished their. international bankers have agreed to rescue the ailing egyptian economy four months after a blacklisting former president mubarak's regime cairo is reeling from the revolution that toppled the leader but the military that once propped up his rule is still running the country reports and fears the cash will be swallowed up by the

same old players. as if the international monetary fund doesn't have enough on its plate it's agreed to loan three billion dollars to cairo and move critics say is absurd this is a bribe that the west is trying to give to the regime lest the new one. turns against the west but climbers insisting the money will help stabilize the country's finances especially now with mubarak on and the country going through a transitional period but observers say it's the same skin with only slightly different marketing these agreements are being made with traditional transitional government transitional governments have. become a primarily because of the all regime they composed primarily because from your regime for example samir radwan the finance minister in egypt has been negotiating this law and was in work according to the obama's promise in cairo

a billion dollars more in loan guarantees and on top of that another billion indeed cancelation french president nicolas sarkozy has committed the g eight to providing actually ten billion dollars in direct aid it's a commitment the west says it's making to help rejections get back on the feet the united states and the west are trying to reduce the damage caused by the revolutions very are. considerable financial contributions to the egyptian economy and the perfect ways through the i.m.f. which is heavily influenced by the united states for. many many years the i.m.f. has been considered as an warm of american foreign. policy is this the talk there. is unstable. would could be considered it is a waste of money on something that is very shaky what's more it comes with

particular strings attached. and that the deal could in fact spell trouble go to leaders and leaders. very. little anybody except in worse trouble or. the country. so western big is really sure equilibration the regime. but most egyptians fear is that the money will get used up long before it reaches the pockets believing it's likely to be only a small elite as well as international banks who benefit from the loans the last time the i.m.f. injected a large amount of money into egypt was twenty years ago but since then the number of egyptians living below just two dollars a day doubled in february this year the i.m.f. raised the mubarak regime as the sound fiscal management in egypt as far as libya waned it fit the old for the economy remain stable but just days later mubarak was

ousted and tripoli was engulfed in antigua duffey demonstrations so it's no surprise of many see the i.m.f. rates a country the closer the country is to having a with a lesion. just how wrong the organization can be policy r t tel aviv floor on the impact of the i.m.f. handouts and of the strings the are trying to pull in the country's economies head for arts and that's our website and there's plenty analysis for you there finance watchers tell us how using money as some water to help cure the troubles blinding the people of egypt works in egypt the details are on our website right now. the i maps attention to is stretched to struggling economies around the world but also the troubles at home as to who will take over since its former boss had to quit over sex crime claims that everyone's happy that a european well beelined up as it's always been the case and there are growing

voices that someone from the brics countries of brazil russia india china and south africa should have a go. the u.s. has a failed economy and the eurozone has failed and the brics nations have been realizing for quite some time now they're failing anglo american british and other euro interests warrant the most support on this global dictatorship and that is extremely consequential implications on the entire international financial system you know then why should they be continuing to prop up the global recovery because if you go to the very bare bones of the global economy the groups are the backbone that's exactly what the i.m.f. is one big looting station but i think in the short run i think you may realize that some of their success some of their economic growth just to at least a degree hinge upon you know western western interests because as we know there are some of the largest creditor nations in the world i think eventual it's in their best interest to completely break the chains off of this situation and perhaps

start their own i.m.f. type fund which better serves their interests but i think in the short run and i think they simply can't do it things are just too fragile out there. plenty more on the way including the american students going from to pull over to the dell. that really led to green sharp or start a great company or very seriously in the. qualified but was washed hoaxes america's rising unemployment rate and the students with massive loans and nothing to pay them off with us. welcome to the beautiful. morning. we tracked the final preflight brokerages of three space program to learn what led them to become obsessed with getting into orbit. and some to go to some other stories from around the world in syria's interior minister is promising a strong response after reports that one hundred twenty policemen were killed in a combat in the north of the country state t.v.

to me and so miracle to your analogy between what they're doing with obama's doing with iran is very close to what bush and cheney to vice president did to iraq and there is a lot of the punish they want to make a case against iraq for politics. so we made a case about nuclear weapons. well in twelve hours three men will be propelled into orbit by so use rockets from the recalled baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan russian soyuz rockets are the number one and will soon be the only choice for space flight what's more so used to take an oscar winning director and a fly of fancy in a few years avatar creator james cameron is rumored to have walked a one hundred fifty million dollar ticket for a trip to the moon in twenty fifteen also the time being though in castle stan a russian and american and

a blow to the company's well output. you know the policy making in the new russia is very similar to what it was in the cold in the old soviet union a study by a research group at the gaidar institute for economic policy says in both cases growing state expenses are balanced but the extra oil revenues that arris from business news your magazine explains it just after the need for reform. in the beginning you need the states through a big push or you spend heavily on infrastructure you keep it was almost turning you put some money in the system but then once you get this sort of green shoots of free enterprise then the state needs to step back and nurture business and that's nor state spending that's about tax codes and labor codes and bureaucracy coming in firmer it's right in my view and russia is at that stage now as transitioning mounts of the state spending and it needs to nurture business and it's not very good at it this way if we still think sometimes of the big membership was you know we just put more money in the economy and this is the one that will lead to many
