no criminal court is the place where the west judges the rest tripoli refuses to accept an arrest warrant for colonel gadhafi saying a base trial you know is just a political tool and has no authority. use economic crisis in nations like greece or six countries such as turkey longing seeking membership to shift the focus eastwards. and boosting the birth rate of breaching women's rights russian lawmakers discussed restrictions on abortion any. more backstreet surgeries and the legacy of abandoned children. are you watching r t world news and much more twenty four hours a day libya's justice minister says tripoli is refusing to recognize the arrest

warrant for colonel gadhafi. the international criminal court at the hague gadhafi and his closest allies are accused of ordering edged war crimes against their own people but tripoli says the actions by the i.c.c. are just a cover for continued nato bombing. has the details namely he's being accused of purposefully targeting civilians of killing civilians during the dispersal of the protest in february of this year the court's decision and the request for the arrest of moammar gadhafi his son and also his intelligence minister has been issued by a lot of the prosecutors of the international criminal court and this is only the second time in the courts nine year history that such a warrant has been issued incumbent for an. the first such occurrence happened in two thousand and nine and the man that they wanted or were after was the sudanese president. that decision has yet to be implemented in reality 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 that libya is not a signatory to the rome treaty which has actually set up the international criminal court we have yet to find out how we can sack we will go about arresting moammar gadhafi the i.c.c. did say that the libyan people themselves will arrest gadhafi but of course. he is called words 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 as a matter of fact there were reports of intensified bombing off tripoli just this morning there were reports that blasts have been heard very close to gadhafi compound this was supposed to be an enforcement of a no fly zone in 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 it at this point is kind of a situation which is just hanging in the air and whether this particular latest decision from the i.c.c. whether that will have any effect on the situation in libya remains to be seen. well texas spaced radio host alex jones told r.t. it's nato should be held accountable for what it's doing in that they want to try for crimes against humanity that would be like having hitler over the nuremberg trials of nazis you've got european nations in serbia and now in libya bombing and killing civilians that's not debated shooting out fishing boats you have them now admittedly trying to assassinate gadhafi itself but international war crime the i.c.c. has said nothing about war crimes in iraq in that eight and a half plus year war afghanistan the admitted massacre so this is really

a joke in the way the i.c.c. carries out trials is a joke and it's a tool basically the anglo-american. establishment to go in and persecute countries. patrick hayes and london based reporter for online magazine spiked says the actions of the international criminal courts show how many western nations want to impose this privacy on the rest of the world this is actually the first time that the international criminal court has actually pursued someone who isn't really completely black no i don't say this lightly but if you look at the previous five cases the international criminal court the investigations they've been in kenya they've been in sudan and in central african republic in the democratic republic of congo despite all the other crimes and movies that are going on across the world from iraq could see in the gaza strip the international criminal court has focused

solely to this point upon black people and obviously you know they seem to be moving you know the focusing on gadhafi now but still very much focused on africa this is the sense very much seems to be that the international criminal court is the place where the west the rest is where the international criminal courts presumes that they can have this kind of civilized legal perspective on the world which is lacking in african countries who are unable to determine their own affairs properly and the guiding hands of western politicians. it with r t and so they had the salad not practicing what they preach. ex triage work their market people around the world where the whole they're trying to suppress the citizens of this country we visit the poorest city in the american state of michigan which citizens say might become a template for the new president democrats of collapse. greece

who will face a catastrophe if the new austerity plan is not passed by parliament where the words of a senior greek minister head of a crucial vote on wednesday the twenty eight billion euro package of spending cuts or tax hikes is a key condition for the country to get more cash when you approve it will mean a new bailout and another challenge of last year's aid package being handed over otherwise greece could become the first eurozone country to default on its debt while some states that fear still keen to join the monetary bloc others are beginning to rethink their membership plans to martin. ship it don't even think it turkey is in asia minor not in europe turkey's place is not a european union turkey started seeking integration of europe in the one nine hundred fifty s. and was made a new candidate in one thousand knowing that since then from some germany who remained opposed to continue stalling negotiations turkey.

and european union. have actually stalled there's. relationship for such a long time now that the turkish public is tired of it the main reason turks think the europeans don't want them immigration. first well they come and steal our jobs like the polish plumber did. and second well they threaten us culturally but others see the real fear in paris and berlin as a loss of political power and this sort of french german condominium is already on the challenge but with the inclusion of turkey in the european union it would be totally impossible to sustain now embroiled in economic crisis the e.u. isn't as strong as it once seemed. turks are starting to view the da lays in

joining less with frustration and more with relief frankly given. the state of the european union right now is the inability of taking decisions the euro's fragile situation the rising racism and islamophobia in many countries. it's it's becoming less and less attractive turkey is no longer waiting for europe to change its mind instead many speak of the axis of turkish interest shifting from west to east it's pursued a no problems policy with its neighbors in recent years that's yielded impressive results boosting trade and making turkey a leader in regional diplomacy if we want to. combine our. power with others i think we should look at eurasia the bosphorus

behind me has long been seen as a bridge between east and west but with turkey increasingly pushed away by europe over here and pull towards the middle east and asia over here turks no longer see all their hopes by looking west tamasin r.t. istanbul turkey. well meanwhile europe is being offered help with its an economy by china the chinese a prime minister who's on a tour of the e.u. has offered to buy debt from struggling nations it's seen as a move to secure supporting europe as well as to curb inflation and that's the view of jim rogers an american investor in north or. if they become the savior they become the largest creditor for europe and they're going to have a very major seat at the table it's going to improve their position in the i.m.f. it's going to produce improved their position with the world bank it's going to improve their position if you win because you know the europeans are going to have to be more and more friendly to china because china saving america not cannot save

them russia cannot save them so europe is going to be more china friendly than it has been in the past they're going to the europeans to say ok let's be friendly we'll keep you all this money will bail you out you'll be now friendly and supportive of us instead of being so supportive instead of listening to washington so much you know you call us first and if we want more representation in international bodies such as the world bank then you you should listen to our tent the chinese have huge international reserves in the largest international creditor in the world they have over three trillion u.s. dollars and very various currencies internally yes they've had too much inflation and they're trying to cool that inflation up but there are extra on their international situation and it got lots of liquidity and can do whatever they want . and they did today max keiser and his co-host stacey habits discuss whether the shock waves from the debt crisis are reaching us. the common merging

all roads are pointing to one culpable source of the catastrophe b b i'm not talking about brigitte bardot but ben bernanke he actually says that this will be a small negligible impact of greece defaulting he is telling a lie that's causing incredible global financial damage again i suggest waterboarding. download the official ante up location your i phone i pod touch from the shops to. life on the good. video on demand tease my

a changing landscape in american politics people throw around words like oligarchies and all that sort of thing i mean that's that's what it already is i think that the average citizen is going to have less and less to say about what is done with public assets these decision makers are appointed by the governor to oversee school districts and cities like benton harbor facing financial distress in april benton harbor z.m. out stripped the elected city council of its democratic power leaving a city of eleven thousand struggling americans under the rule of a man they didn't allow their hypocritical you know their ex try to export democracy for around the world but at home they're trying to suppress the citizens of this country at least for other cities including detroit have an emergency manager in the motor city the e.m.f. laid off some six thousand teachers and it's pioneering plans for corporations to

not only afghanistan but the whole world should declare war on these narcotic substances. a push by the russian government to raise the birth rate has driven lawmakers to propose a bill at the knitting a pregnant woman's options of abortion legislators say they want to reduce the huge number of terminating pregnancies but there's criticism that the measures will deprive women the right to determine their own future. over has the details. when she heard she was pregnant again in the end i had already been through actually sorry sections and had to healthy sons to make her life complete along with her diabetes this pregnancy was a huge drain. now though she can't imagine life without her sasha there's a lot over there i look at my little miracle and i can't even imagine that once i had thought about getting rid of him i've never regretted my decision later i was

able to make her choice freely had she wanted terminations nothing would have stood in her way abortion in russia is available on request up to twelve weeks and is permitted at any stage if the pregnancy puts the mother's life in danger the proposed legislation would end free abortions of state clinics and make women wait for a week before the terminations to think over their decision the morning after pill now available at any pharmacy would also become prescription only. but it's right that if we manage to avert at least twenty percent of abortions annually we have a clear increase in birth rates instead of a demographic decline with betsy and a qualified psychologist working at round of last year's maternity hospitals says the stress of an unplanned pregnancy often makes women wash their decision they might later regret but with them as a veggie my task is not to talk a woman out of abortion just sure how they'll turn it is so that she doesn't end up

turning to herself where with questions like how old a baby would have been now and what he or she would have looked like. experts say the only way forward is to give women the security needed to embark on motherhood although found the help she was so desperate for at a moscow charity. my husband left me when i was pregnant i didn't have any means to feed the kids are ready had let alone raise another one. however opponents of the proposed legislation believe limiting a woman's choice breaches her rights both health and human my body is my business is just one of their slogans that bit about the vision you got about history shows that banning abortions has never went to a baby born when the soviet union outlawed abortions in one nine hundred thirty six the result was an enormous increase in the maternal death rate and that's what doctors fear most that restrictions on legal abortions will only push women to find

risky backstreet alternatives even if it threatens their health and life the all of those the years living in russia forty percent of women decide against pregnancy and if a woman is determined not to have children she won't and that includes simply abandoning them. like the mothers of these babies who found another way to escape the burdens of motherhood these children are too young to understand why they were not wanted. these children didn't choose to come into this world and be deprived of their basic right for parental love one day they might find someone to call their family over the question is whether restricting abortions well lead to more children abandoned after being born against their mothers well sorry i wish her well r.t. moscow. well we have plenty more stories on the few online at our website or to call them as what's available few right now discover the fate of the former spy

master who blew the cover of a group of russian agents in address last year including famous from the tao chapman. and moscow may be a long way from the sea but there are still plenty of places to set sail from check out our guides in cities you. don't go. fish fish. fish. katrine is here now with the business news. hello and welcome to the business bulletin here on r.t. the relationship between oil and the state of russia's economy remains a close one boy and crude prices may help the state achieve a budget deficit of less than one percent by the end of this year but someone at a high oil price puts the long term financial stability of the state and of the

global economy at risk. it's a good thing for russia that they were. heading up two hundred twenty hundred thirty dollars on brooms in the longer run this would be a boom and bust cycle we saw in two thousand and eight we do not want to see this again in russia much more sustainable for the world economy if the oil prices say averaging nine to one hundred dollars this is a global economy grows stronger it's a more sustainable story and that's that's how you can make proper plans for the future. taking a look at the markets no oil is struggling to narrow down monday's losses which seem crude prices to their lowest in four months the drop came on the heels of last week's announcement by the international energy agency that it will release sixty million barrels of oil the movie's hard to counter the effects of coal to the exports from libya. and across asia the markets are trading in the black boosting the sentiment is optimism that the greek parliament will vote in favor of more

austerity measures to avert a default banking sectors and exporters are among the gain is mitsubishi financial group is adding a round of percent in tokyo petro china is getting almost two percent in hong kong . and here in moscow the trading station will kick off and around two hours time the markets finished in the red on monday on negative sentiment over european debt just adds to my six indignity half a percent lower in the r.t.s. most point eight of a percent. russian stock markets have been largely negative at the start of the trading week marker cost us from a credit to him. assman bank says dollars from a slew of annual general meetings this week well keep investors busy we have folk quiet week and we're waiting for a lot of a.g.m. june comes to get towards the end and we don't expect any fireworks per se we have you know no but just having these meetings and proving you know david ensor and elect a new boards we've seen a few positive developments in the board in that more market friendly people have

come on the boards and you saw the impact of that and steadicam for the rest of the week we're just waiting for again the greek and then us data as well and it's been on and off in the last couple of weeks so you know any positive news coming out of the u.s. will foster a bit of the global growth and the picture in general because europe it's moving on to worse you know a bit more forgetful and how do we go forward. global investors i'm gathering in moscow to brainstorm their strategies in russia the event is being held by the nacelles capital which has been investing in russia for twenty years business not seems to me to medvedev i caught up with the company's c.e.o. stephen jennings to find out how the investment climate has improved over the years it's obviously twenty years ago there was no market there was literally no market no infrastructure no capital markets no private sector companies so to try to change has been virus but i think the point is every every phase russia has outperformed relative to expectations one of the perplexing things is this is

perpetual somewhat negative attitude from the west towards russia but if you look ex post the results have been very favorable over a long period of time given the current market conditions do you think right now is a good time to invest in russia because a very interesting time in russian assets are very cheap but not much more expensive than pakistan which is clearly ridiculous russia's as a strong track record and large scale privatization i won't be surprised if it's bigger if it goes further than people are talking about i think will be progress and building the moscow financial center where would you invest today and what sectors of russia's economy you know there's still an enormous potential really across the board a natural sources they are a large scale assets that are still not being with all but with an corporate structures or being necessarily being managed well across all the so-called new sectors the economy with its financial services retail consumer what manufacturing and this is the highest return significant market in the world over the last ten years by a very considerable margin it's

a market that's been open to foreign investors for fifteen years by strategic and financial investors so there's ample opportunity the market is very liberal and in my view will continue to see strong returns and that's all of the business for this hour we'll be back with more in just under an hour's time stay with us for headlines next. if six six. six. coming to. the be.
