8:03 am
a very warm welcome to you this is coming to you live from the russian capital moscow has raised over france supplying weapons to the libyan rebels and over ambiguous interpretations of the un security council resolution on libya foreign minister sergey lavrov has also once again said that the sides in the syrian conflict should resolve their differences through dialogue with our correspondent is the foreign ministry for. libya was the key issue discussed during a meeting between two foreign ministers that's folding france's deployment of arms to libya france air drops guns. in order to help civilians protect themselves and according to french foreign minister when it comes to protection of civilians all measures are justified they claim that u.n. security council's resolution allows them to do so because it isn't it is unacceptable that it violates the arms embargo to libya and to conform minister has
8:04 am
said even though to ministers two countries have similar view on libya's future that it has to be peaceful and democratic states that the u.n. security council's resolution can be easily misinterpreted to diverse illusion nine hundred seventy three contains chapter four which allows anyone to do anything in this very chapter that was the cause of all problems with the mandate and all of the aspects we supported and as we have warned now we're facing a robot in pleasant situations but it can be interpreted in less different ways to i think moscow in paris and other un security council members who are interested for the body to release concise documents to the international law just not need to put up with ambiguity meanwhile representatives of the african union have already spoken out about this saying that they are afraid of proliferation they fear that those guns make and up in the hands of terrorists and that's going to be a threat to the entire region russia's envoy to nato had said at
8:05 am
a press conference in moscow that he fears that the only ground operation is just around the corner and that a patient is only going to prolong this conflict and worsen the situation in the whole region in general of course the uprising is in syria was also discussed today and foreign minister lavrov once again stressed russia's position on no resolution regarding this conflict in syria saying that so that should be a political decision for the conflict and that's members of the opposition in syria have to sit down to go shave the table and talk to its governments and not ignore the concessions and reforms assad's government is suggesting. well for more on this on now joined live from the libyan capital by investigative jenna's webs its home base and is talking many thanks for joining us. nato envoy has said that the combination is preparing a land operation in libya how possible is that at this point. unfortunately it's
8:06 am
eminently possible we've had reports in the united states for ten days to two weeks about orders being given to u.s. military units at fort hood texas special forces told to be ready to go somewhere in july with libya being prominently mentioned following on after that the first cavalry division division most of which is now in afghanistan and iraq and after that the third quarter which is a larger group that's spread out over fort sill oklahoma fort carson fort hood another military facility so i'm afraid we have a psychosis of aggression in washington d.c. which could go in any direction libya is a possible target it could be syria it could be pakistan we simply don't know at this point kamal foreign minister the russian foreign minister. asked him what he's cool ambiguous for the u.n. resolution. do you think that it's
8:07 am
a land operation. misinterpretation. the nato operation is already flagrantly illegal because of the way they're they're violating let me put it this way the resolution violates the charter and nato is violating the resolution and they've got a blockade going here if you go out with your fishing boat here off the coast of tripoli you're going to get a u.s. predator drone come and shoot you up so this is not the protection of civilians it's the attempt to stop civilians nato air power is used to protect armed gangs packed full of al qaeda and other terrorists and it's used to attack civilians i've seen homes here where four or five. little children essentially preschool kids were killed in the middle of the night by bombs launched by aircraft from forty thousand feet that is a very cowardly way to wage war so we're in the midst now of international and certainly countries like russia would be very well advised to do something urgently
8:08 am
to try to restore the rule of international law and that would mean. more energetic measures against what the united states britain and france are doing. now would you expect to see any action on. the hof if nate's a dozen decides to intervene in syria widen this out now without a u.n. mandate. well syria is of course a special case because you've got that russian naval station that so that leads to something rather rather direct but again the insanity now dominating washington is very severe in the obama administration let me point out i believe we already have more than enough votes in the u.s. house of representatives to cut off the funding to basically tell all bamma if you spend money on this war in any floor even in the support activities that's illegal that's another impeachable offense we're looking forward to
8:09 am
a strong. bill being brought into the house of representatives once this fourth of july congressional recess is over and the previous votes show that there is already a majority if you have a bill that says in a very clear way it is not authorized it will not be funded it has to end and at that point obama will be facing more impeachable offenses he's already impeachable because he's violating the war powers act he's been waging war against libya for more than ninety days when of course the nato. he strongly that they are you know one of these countries in order to protect civilians and from his house been cooling for security council action. in syria motivated by that same such strong opposition that we're seeing from countries like russia how else could nato allies to get into the syrian conflict. well there would be way right now we've got we've
8:10 am
got an orgy of cia predator drones and pentagon predator drones i think it's a nuke out every morning right now the u.s. is attacking six countries with predator drones afghanistan iraq. and of course libya here that would be one way to do it there's also perhaps the question of the united states attempting to forment conflict between turkey and syria that might be a more likely way a kind of surreptitious way to do it remember if you attack syria you may get a trifecta you might then get not just syria but iran. into the blog that we would be talking about something that would look much more like a world war some observers sort of pointed out i agreed with them maybe in something like. nine hundred fourteen we may be in the summer of one thousand and fourteen between the sarajevo assassinations and the moments when the gun began to shoot most of world public opinion doesn't see that but i think this is probably
8:11 am
the most dangerous world situation i've ever seen. rather extreme position their own what could potentially happen in that we. have to tell people hey thanks for your thoughts. thank you. i came in with the war in libya the focal point of international relations i gained access to. any sign of foul islamic things countries wanted for its riches but says the people will keep fighting to make sure libya doesn't fall into foreign control. today i was swimming and was very hard we went to the beach. so we know what country. fighting for our country living with our people if we live we live in our country that we would if we die we go to heaven they destroyed our house in the middle of. area small house surrounded by many houses people living near these
8:12 am
small school next to them the bond that house with all. the kid my brother he young civilian he had nothing to do with the war with politics he was studying in germany because of the war he came back to libya he was there sleeping because. what nato. command and control center. was a two bedroom kitchen living room small house is it give you an example for my family let alone many other examples one week ago they had a house of a friend of my father killed the whole family. the wife pregnant died two young girls of them died and head again we are hitting a military site a plane a president wife with her kids they are controlling and commanding libyan
8:13 am
troops come up. with them. have one target this country is a piece of cake rich full of guys oil and we have more than one hundred billion dollars deposits abroad so we have to share this cake that it need to travel. and harry we want to finish the soonest possible because the are hungry. tired they want to share the cake. slake for them levy is lake fast food like mcdonald's fast cause every should be fast fast fast airplanes. fast bullets fast victory but we are very patient because we are in our country so our country. we live here with our here so we're very patient their goal is that gadhafi goal is to control libya is to control libya this is the target. libyans will not allow them to do
8:14 am

8:15 am
a package of radical tax increases and spending cuts which triggered three days of massive protests and is asking sarah first reports plans to sell off assets to the highest bidder also fanning the flames of public anger. grease is not for sale the message from a furious public as plans to sell off many greek assets pushes ahead. through incredibly proud of their heritage many people feel that the privatization proposals is simply stripping greece of its public assets the change in the grabs for the lenders banks to companies in china the great is amongst many more at stake in the large telecommunications company aig he is also the sale with the. there's been a continuous crime for the past twenty years they've sold off all companies piece by piece and now we only own a small percentage but that small stake is extremely important to the greek people
8:16 am
but they want to sell even version. this is a huge turn for the present government here heavily a close to the sale of eight hundred shares when they were acting as a position. they called it a national crime when the previous government sold shares now they want to do the same and sell the shares now at a low price we don't think we'll see investment or any development of it to you we think the only thing others will care about is profit profit profit. big continues schools from the public to refuse the aggressive privatization proposals set forth by the troika seemingly gone and heard their presser from the european union is three men who we would talk about blackmail i guess the greek government critics have argued that they thanking a bailout acting out to self interest keeping profits private was the last is to say she lies nothing you hear is not like greeks have to stretch back into deep
8:17 am
history to figure this out we can look at latin american we can look at countries all over the world where the i.m.f. has come in and sacrificed and plundered the nation for corporate consolidation and the prime minister happened jase think of avoiding the countries can all cost that many are now asking just how high a price he's willing to pay someone dies there's something very tragic occurs that's going to be a catalyst for i think a fall of this government the e.u. has stated fairly there's no plan b. the a stereo measures being enacted buses theory bills on the street might be time they thought of one. athens. or tariffs an entity from the u.s. based trans research institute says greeks to believe the austerity measures serve to rescue the banks and their expense. you could sum up what's killed capitalism in four simple words too big to fail and that's
8:18 am
what's going on the banks are failing and they want the people to bail them out because they after all they don't like to take a hit these big guys so they call it measures and privatization the i.m.f. is nothing more than the international mafia federation that alone shocks of last resort and the people know it they call it privatization adults call it stealing valuable public assets and selling it to a friend's really cheap the politicians only represent the people that give the most amount of money so that people know that so that it's going to continue to be it's war and the greek people know that if you don't stand up they're going to blow you down when you get really hungry you're going to see the riots continue to escalate because what are these so-called austerity measures what do they really bring they bring a lot more poverty oh they bring

sweeping the quotable economy accountants p.p.m. to say privatization deals have amounted to over two hundred and thirteen billion dollars last year and analysts say the current plans are comparable to. a successful program by britain's margaret thatcher back in the 1980's well for more on this and now we're joined by martin gun battle for mind investment management how to use why our states divesting themselves of assets now. well we see a lot of privatization plans indeed coming through but it's mainly because i think of. programs on the sovereign debt side that some countries actually are forcing to to sell off state assets. privatization is a key topic of the more to a station agenda in russia do you think it's enough. well it's a good point actually i think that the president has mentioned privatizations know many times and they seem to be serious about it i think it's a good thing for russia to in a bid to improve corporate governance and maybe to attract more foreign and foreign
8:28 am
direct investment but we still have to see of course what will be achieved and how much will be privatized and what the important companies will be privatized and also the share of the companies that will be sold to the private sector that's also very important right this part is ation and russia is expected to be a large scale do you think this kind of process ation will help russia become more open and efficient what do you think. well that's the idea i think most people do expect that if you if you privatized it will lead to more foreign investment by definition but also that corporate governance then can improve although i must say that also the rules of the game have to be have to be good and that sense in russia i think there's still some uncertainty about the role of the state in general in the private sector so we still have to see first what will be privatized how much will be privatized and then how will the states. act after that right back in.
8:29 am
just say it has a small private investors these days that large investment funds are taking a leading role what do you make of this difference. well it is it is a difference that could mean the buyers are less. less dedicated maybe to the u.s. as they buy they want to make money maybe quicker than them was the case in earlier decades but still it's the shift from from state sector to private sector i think should should be positive and it should help to improve. the governance of these companies. well but generally speaking why do you think investors are so obsessed with status is going public. while investors of course they they buy you stay. in the company so they want a company to do so to do it as well as possible so they want to the billet the and everything that goes against the good environment for profitability something that
8:30 am
the predictability of policy has to be important so the role of the state doesn't normally help the outlook for for profits in the private sector so they make sense of the differences are focusing on this in the end they are part of the private sector as well all right thank you very much martin young from mind to investment management thank you for your analysis. and that's all we have time for in about forty five minutes so stay with us.
