going to go through joins us live with details on this hour from brussels or so what does this decision mean in terms of could refuse future. well as a matter of fact worry the decision means that only that he has been found by this particular court of crimes against humanity namely he's being accused of purposefully targeting civilians of killing civilians during the dispersal of the protest in february of this year and now the court's decision and the request for it for the arrest of moammar gadhafi his son and also his intelligence minister has been has been issued by. a lot of the prosecutors of the international criminal court and this is only the second time in the chords nine year history that such a warrant has been issued for incumbents head of state the first occurrence happened in two thousand and nine and the man that they wanted or were after was the sudanese president over that this is and has yet to be implemented in reality

or executed because obviously the president is still in place and the libyan authorities have already said that they will not comply with the decision in this case they actually questioned its legitimacy and have reminded the basically the world community that libya is not a signatory to the treaty which has actually set up the international criminal courts however the courts in turn will have to comply with this decision and for their arrest of moammar gadhafi his son and the intelligence minister because it has to comply with the u.n. security council resolutions now what exactly will happen to more market is not yet known of course several high ranking european officials have already raised the cord for this decision but we have we have yet to find out how exactly they will go about arresting more. the i.c.c.

did say that the libyan people themselves will arrest gadhafi but of course. he is . awards remain defiant and say they will continue to fight to the very end and they basically said they don't particularly care for this particular decision so i mean i think the word to use is key the word of being defiance i defined against the rebels advancing on tripoli also defiance of the international criminal court but the issue of these arrest warrants it only adds to nato as it tends to enforce regime change in libya it has every asked i mean any criticism of the alliance its methods or this was supposed to be a humanitarian mission but it was turned into a one hundred day bombing campaign. that's right and as a matter of fact there were reports of intensified bombing of tripoli just this morning there were reports that blasts have been and have been heard very close to conduct his compound by the way khadafi is that reportedly not there however the international journalists are not too far away but the bombing continues

nevertheless of course this is a this was supposed to be an enforcement of a no fly zone in the libya and yet already we're talking about. according to libyan government we're talking about hundreds of civilians being killed as a result of the nato airstrikes of course. until not so long ago denied. being at fault for that just recently have confirmed deaths of civilians at the same time they're saying that that supposedly could god himself has killed thousands of people during the dispersal of the protest but the bombing continues and what will happen next is not yet clear and there is increasing dissatisfaction among the military and political observers of the world over who say that the bombings which need to is carrying out really very no fruit whatsoever khadafi remains to guys like we just said before and there really is no progress and actually the opposition leader is the libyan opposition leaders are already

starting to question the methods which are being used by nato so at this point it's kind of a situation which is just hanging in the air and whether this particular leader's decision at the i.c.c. where that will have any effect on the situation in libya remains to be seen all right all these are really good news for there with the latest on that libya a lot of brussels things. still to come on the program here on our democracy with. the u.s. you know there's a new program to help with this would be across the globe some suggest is just a convenient way to overthrow you since governments. you with all three live from moscow now a photo of humanitarian ships carrying aid and supplies for gaza to depart from greece it's reported to be made up of ten wrestles with some five hundred activists on board israel wanted its military is quote gearing up to intercept the aid model warning journalists they could face of buying or people to ration or covering their

bones is put to sleep it has more. pull the mission has been called freedom and the concept of ten ships comprising some three hundred and thirty activists on planes and countries now the plan is for them to sit. later this week but we're already hearing from one of the ships which is an american ship it's been called the american boat to gaza the audacity of hope it complains that the greek authorities are not allowing it to leave and in a statement that was read out by passengers onboard that ship they accuse the united states of using leverage and has with i admit to put pressure on athens for at this stage is seeking economic balance in a separate development the israeli government has warned that any journalists who plan to stick sale with the patella will be deported from israel and prevented from reentering the country for another ten years that first that was at the end of may last year and greater consisted of six basic snooki or better terms ended in

disaster when israeli commando units stormed the largest of those ships it was a boat that was operated by the i h h it's all considers an extremist organization but which twenty first is a humanitarian organization and nine passengers nine turkish citizens on board were killed in an effort to prevent a similar kind of outcome the israeli security cabinet has been holding an emergency meeting today the sake of such meeting in two days it's trying to look at alternative ways of dealing with the spirit of the latest word we have is that it is saying that it will not allow the ships to dock in gaza that they have the option of either docking at the israeli. pulte of us thought oh if you gyptian city are our a recent already carla has indicated that it would assist the ships that plan will in fact decide to sail there these radio photos saying that they need to check the cargo on board and only after they are satisfied that there are no weapons and no ammunition will they then take a commitment upon themselves to deliver the goods in their entirety to gaza now it

is important to remember that this blockade that israel has imposed on gaza has been in place since two thousand and six but since then the citizens of gaza have been on able to receive many basic foodstuffs and many items in the last week it's all has insisted since but still humanitarian organizations both inside and outside gaza claim that the situation is deteriorating and they talk about a humanitarian disaster. paul are reporting right there discuss what effect israel's ban on journalists wanting to sail with the flotilla might have i'm joined by joe fatima chairman of the foreign press association in israel and live from jerusalem mr ghanem good to see you considering how big an event the last for tiller turned out to be i just scandalously a p.r. campaign do you think some journalists will get israel and cover what could be another massive international confrontation well if you ask me that about a half an hour i would have answered it differently because just in the past few

minutes we received an announcement from the prime minister's office where they are now dropping their threat to punish journalists you see on the flotilla. it's not quite clear how they're going to handle it but we are now backing away from their threat to the people for ten years so another saying that journalists are potentially allowed to come on the flotilla but do you think israel will repeat what it did to the last flotilla taking into account the worldwide condemnation and diplomatic mayhem but of course. no i think the last photo is really seen as a major debacle you know both militarily they weren't happy with the way things unfolded and clearly from a public relations perspective that said they do promise to prevent these ships from reaching gaza and we know that the navy has been training apparently for months working on a new tactics how to start these ships in a way that will avoid bloodshed how do you tell us about the general attitude on

the ground among israelis how do they feel about these flotilla ships i mean surely they're just packed with aids for her suffering palestinians yet the israeli view is that this is simply a provocation there's plenty of aid that is flowing into gaza especially since last year with aid ease the blockade so plenty of you know there's no major shortages of medicines there's food and so forth where the blockade is still in effect is mostly in the area of building materials if you remember there was a massive israeli military offensive to many a half years ago and there's still a lot of damage to infrastructure and especially to homes that need to be fixed israel continues to restrict the amount of building goods that gets into gaza. and . especially in the larger picture here do you believe that israel is really going down the right path it would seem that such strong opposition from the government of seeming such a seemingly trivial thing as an aid flotilla would actually encourage activists to

send more fleets do you think. yeah well you know that's a decision that they have to make they have you know one thing that i've tried to point out you know in the past there have been other ships that were allowed to sail into gaza where the navy decided not to stop them and in those cases the boats reach the shore there was a short celebration and it attracted you know grief international expansion in the world moved on when they stopped these ships and there's you know violent confrontation and bloodshed and death people are still talking about it a year later so you know that's a decision that israel has to decide whether the threat is worth taking the threat of violence is that important where you could face this huge public relations war as you say the world and world of the world are still talking about it and continues a very heavy handed approach to various aspects of the palestinians evident just briefly israel's blockade of gaza seems to be in trouble from the opening of the rough crossing with egypt to rising global sympathy for the palestinians it's time

for israel to rethink the blockade. well they have been rethinking of it and if you compare the situation now to what it was a year ago they've clearly they've made a lot of changes really as i said you know the two things or the issue of the building materials in this naval blockade and i get the sense that israel will never drop the naval blockade as long as the hamas militant group is in charge and so israel says the blockade is needed to bring it ships from sailing in full of arms. you know when israel has bitter experience with hamas loop in you know thousands of rocket attacks into southern and central israel so they do have a legitimate concern there as for the ground blockade the main issue again is the building materials and that's something where israel has actually shown signs that it suffering things up just last week there was a big announcement we are allowing enough materials in to proceed with a huge housing project about twelve hundred homes so there are signs of change but as for the naval blockade i don't see that changing anytime soon because of the

security concerns and when you say a lot of construction equipment has been allowed into into gaza area over to build houses apartment houses most of all by israeli jets terrified of her that's all the time we have for today chairman of the foreign press association in israel thank you. another man who blew the cover of a group of russian agents in the u.s. last year has been found guilty in absentia of treason and desertion by a moscow court intelligence colonel alexander fled the country before the scandal last june which sorts and agents including chapman arrested. about has been following the person please. this very high profile case has been deemed top secret and classified so most of the proceedings that took place in moscow as military court were held behind closed doors and every shred of evidence and witness statement that was submitted throughout the course of the trial was also a classified and top secret but we do know that it's not

a price you have has been stripped of all of his military ranks and achievements and found guilty of treason and sentenced to twenty five years in prison of course at the moment that really doesn't affect his life that much because of course he's not in russia porting to the court he's most likely hiding somewhere in the united states and he left for the united states just a little over a year ago and according to information voiced in the court room that was a complete surprise to everybody including his wife she found out that her husband had deserted her her family and her country from a text message which he sent to her saying mary i'm sorry i hope you find a way to forgive me this isn't for a while this is for effort expended by the state has been working with us intelligence officers for at least a decade out of those people whose cover he blew and of chapman perhaps one of the most famous and a media well liked characters she picked him out of

a photo lineup saying that this is in fact the man that she met with in the united states according to her statement she felt somewhat uncomfortable after her meeting with him and contacted her superiors in moscow which then confirmed her suspicions but of course by then it was too late and ten people were sent out of the united states being found guilty of being unregistered agents of a foreign government. it is coming out of our reporting right there now the japanese government is starting radiation checks on millions of people living near the stricken fukushima nuclear plant it's been revealed that fifteen of people living over forty kilometers from the facility showed signs of internal ready action exposure when examined last month and as artists sean thomas found out many no longer trust the safety warnings. only culture that is generally non-confrontational and obedient when thousands take to the streets of tokyo

against nuclear energy it is a serious sign of discontent if after this crisis it is true that the people are more conscious and we need to take advantage of it this is the first time since the second world war that the japanese people have no trust in the government they want to be a coastal city devastated by the earthquake the tsunami and on the edge of the radiation exclusion zone which is starting on the long road to recovery but for people living here say the government just isn't doing enough from the city hall iraq city they said different things like protector they said different things in the government there are different things. the end of. the or stiff part of the country. the of the are a part but some believe it is too early to tell what the real dangers of the situation or scientists know that large doses of radiation given in one blast is a significant health threat but they say there isn't enough information about long term exposure to lower doses of radiation and the types of damage it can do if you

kick it here or ideation level and then you could debriefs and then you take water you always feel half different bodies because it's so close and it's so changing so you can hardly say but it's really exceeds what a normal person would have a year one of the frightening things about this entire incident is that there are no concrete boundaries that can clearly guarantee your safety one example is this looks like a beautiful watch green valley behind me but in fact this is a very head of a twenty kilometer exclusion value that the government has set up in fact we tried to get a little bit closer but were escorted out by a police officer and a top dollar now although this is supposed to be a safe area the radiation levels here are still brain seven and ten times higher than normal weather for misinformation or mis understanding the people who live in the affected areas don't always take the proper precautions here a volunteer works to clean up toxic radioactive hot spots with hardly any

protection at all a problem that some say is compounded by government propaganda accentuating the benefits while neglecting to inform about the dangers of nuclear waste. the first thing the government should do is let the citizens know the real cost of nuclear energy and so now the priority has been to profit from energy a p.r. machine of the government has been emphasising the benefit of nuclear energy and the citizens have been brainwashed to believe it now in the wake of an international crisis and there are allegations that the government and the power companies have worked out a deal to help each other and that the media. has been blown off the t.v. channels need money from advertisement and the nuclear energy companies pay a lot with this money they cannot survive and for that reason i have to shut up about the situation the newspapers have this problem as well a move that if true keeps the important information hidden from the people saving face for those in charge in japan showing thomas. now at twenty eight minutes past

the hour here in the russian capital you without your let's check out some of the headlines from around the world for you this hour and accountants have been forced from their homes in the u.s. state of north dakota after a river burst its banks emergency services and volunteers scramble to build dams and make shift levees with mixed results a major fear now is the contamination of drinking water with people being urged to boil before drinking water is still not receding and the worst could become. greek lawmakers are discussing a deeply unpopular spending cuts and tax hikes today the measures are a prerequisite for a new multi billion euro bailout from the european union in a last ditch effort to avoid default and vote is being seen as crucial for the future of the whole euro but the austerity plan has angered the public because of its severity and cost to future generations. but u.s. state department's plans for spreading democracy around the world have been greeted with speculation that washington is planning

a program of foreign regime change it will provide finance and technology to opposition groups but the strings could be used to steer other states where america wants them as artie's gonna check our ports. the u.s. state department now generously hands out cash and technology to dissidents throughout the world its bureau of him ocracy human rights and labor has announced the request for proposals on how to foster change in a number of countries in the middle east and north africa as well as cuba the u.s. claims the best of intentions saying it wants to strengthen independence civil society groups in those countries it's just been really another form of provoking regime change they're just trying to do it under a different guise under a different facade saying that somehow and with the best of intentions they're promoting democracy but in reality it's just promoting us agenda among other things the state department is financing the creation of stealth wireless networks that would enable activists to communicate outside the reach of governments in countries

like iran syria and libya according to pre-suppose in the projects other programs include a so-called internet in a suitcase a powerful portable wireless transmitter that activists can use to set up their own networks in order to circumvent state control but at the same time american companies provide authorities in bahrain saudi arabia and kuwait with the technology to effectively block websites those double standards. and the. only way or. another standard will. united states government in the last regime change since we call revolutions or to acknowledge is not all the us provides to instigate change in certain countries some opposition movements get a direct. supply for example we can leaks cables troll that the state department has for years secretly funded syrian anti-government groups in general to create

a world that is more aligned more specifically more controlled we align with the views of the united states i'm now looking at the state department website that promotes grants for those willing to bring about change in communist cuba and here's one of the requirements i'm going to read this it is preferable with these personnel to speak spanish fluently possess solid understanding of the cultural contract and have prior experience on the island in order to maximize their refracted as in this unique operating environment and of quote sounds very much like recruiting agents but instead of doing it the traditional secretive way the us does their right out in the open on their website health most often comes with strings attached many say opposition leaders in libya who now get financial and political support from washington are sure to get instructions on how to return

the favor essentially their. system will serve. us governments even if they don't necessarily mean it's going to check on our t. washington d.c. all right and in just a few minutes to update you on our main stories we're first though green is here with the latest from the world business. well welcome to our business program with a korean american thanks for joining me but he needs to diversify its economy as oil production is not expected to grow in the next decade finance minister alex he calls in says the key challenge is to create an environment to develop long energy sectors a source that would mean trick work would do sleep will decrease its ruling companies and give to private investments the government is going to sell most of the chairs and he enterprises in the next three to five years this really disappointed energy

and transport so. russia's biggest airline air flight is the latest company to be shuttled for privatization the announcement came from finance minister called in there in a sense capital investment forum he says the sale will take place within the next three to five years the russian state owns around half the company and the size of the stake to be privatized is unclear the russian government is going to sell a number of assets in the near future in order to raise up to twenty five billion dollars. that was dropping further with a stronger dollar and worries about the global demand it declined sharply at the end of last week following a decision by the international energy agency to release to teach a quick service of the market. the range of between eighty and one hundred dollars but it is reasonable both for consumers and producers and those numbers the price keeps it reasonable within these limits there is no need for anybody to panic there is plenty of oil goes through to the world there's plenty of oil a day in the ground zero so there's capacity available it's limited but it's

sufficient to moderate the market includes the really difficult to. tell us take a look at the markets crude is now trading at around ninety dollars a barrel its lows for about a year grant is holding at one hundred four dollars a barrel stocks in europe are mixed this hour in excess of fluctuating between gains and losses traders here are concerned pants this week and the greek debt crisis investors are looking ahead to u.s. taking putting personal income and consumption numbers later today here in russia the markets are extending also some negative sentiments over the greek debt my xox is down just under the sands was slipped below ninety dollars if out of the r.t.s. style one let's have a look at some individual channels on my six all majors among the main losers following the downturn include both will crawl across never trading read banking stocks are also under pressure would scrap bank down one point three percent. be

a western and afghan capital explains what russian stocks could potentially see an upswing in the near future. if you're a more sort of long term investor i think you can't go wrong with banks all price might not have another sort of big spike upwards in the near term but nevertheless we're still at ninety and the revenues it consumes eventually would lead to the banking sector spread given the triggers that we have as well we did your program is a good stock and it has been our underperforming. view to be there will be a shift out of that maybe into space but i believe. now russia is setting up its own national payment system on the lines of visa master card that's been signed into law at present and then if it's aimed at boosting competition in the credit card market but our chief editor of business news new york magazine explains the account of creating such a system from scratch russia has this advantage and so much as a lot of the systems that they're putting in place they're doing it from scratch so

you know it's obvious never had any of the stuff precursors of exist and so they go straight to states which means they get the best software the best hardware most of the systems are built in the west have been incremental with you know progressively adding new functionality new software new hardware as new services become available and in that sense they have the opportunity of building really classy system that you could then naturally export to the other members of the c.i.s. and to further. emerging markets who are coming to this person around the same time . that's our latest business both and i'll be back with more just in the one hour time if.
