rupert murdoch because he's a risk taker when he bought the times and sunday times of london the newspaper business was absolutely in peril in the u.k. mostly because of the unions and because of some other economic factors he turned that around. basically there are people who will say that he saved the newspaper industry and london because of the whopping revolution in one thousand nine hundred six but now it's clear that success came with a heavy price tag morality murdoch's journalist kept the ratings high by violating and exploiting the vulnerable they hacked the private voice mails of families of dead soldiers and of murdered children assigned we've seen criminality and invasion of privacy on a staggering industrial scale not even the rich and powerful could escape then chancellor gordon brown's baby was splashed over the front page of the sun his illness a sick headline royal family phones were hacked the scandal even goes right to the

heart of the police force senior police officers were bribed by journalists for tipoffs on sensitive investigations private lives were made public and now we've got. to be some hacking into gordon brown's private life you have to so you have to start to wonder what else is in of course is the harder it is not just by the use of what we call blanket the use of people. information what should be private sources medical records tax records it's taken thirty years for the worst fears about the british press to come true but come true they have murdoch may own successful newspapers in an ailing market but their papers which have lost their greatest asset the public's trust the u.k. has more c.c.t.v. cameras per person than anywhere else in the world i've counted eight just in this small car park so britain's old. no big brother is watching but the question now is

what's big brother watching full and more importantly who's trying to bribe him you are at it all t.v. . and you are ninety nine from moscow still have for you the sour and europe's problems keep the euro afloat takes another hit as the world hates largest economy wakes up to the reality it's in debt. and israel's prime minister has to step off in advance of an anti boycott bill which aims to support sadler's but has been an affront to democracy. police have made the first arrest in connection with russia's worst ever a boating disaster and they have detained the owner of the company that ran down the bulgaria cruiser and the person the certified fit for sale meanwhile divers are set to conduct a final sarah to the vessel looking for the remaining twenty four bodies of the one hundred thirty people believed killed in the tragedy let's cross live now to tom barr is at the site. so tom bring us up to date with the police investigation we

understand that some arrests have already been made and what more can you tell us about this. the first two arrests have been made in the ongoing criminal investigations the first in new york and she's been arrested because she was the owner of the company that rented the boat daria pleasure boat for its final cruise and it's thought that she may have known about the poor condition of the ship when when when she made that decision to rent it the second is yaakov if a show of here's a state shipping experts and he cleared the ship fit to sail some time ago and it's thought that he may have been negligent in making that decision they will stay in detention for around a month to be questioned and then the case will go on from there. well the search goes on for those missing and is still going on is there any indication as

to when the recovery operation will be completed. at the moment the emergency is ministry here on the volga bank in the divers that are going out to the platform above the sunken bowl gary are they say their final effort is going to be made now to try and recover the last twenty four bodies. from from the ship and however there may be some complications with that they're hoping to finish sometime later today possibly around midday but they think that they've searched. most of the ship and they haven't found all of these twenty four bodies so if they're not on the ship they may be in the water around the ship a worst case scenario may be that some of them when the ship sank people may have unfortunately drowned in their bodies being carried by the current to worst estimate up to two hundred kilometers downstream so the search area may have to be

increased for them but they're hoping to finish this search so that two special ships that have come up from volgograd further down the river can start the operation later on to try and raise the boat galleria from the bottom of the volga when they can see the ship up in the open air they can try and work out why the ship sank and why it sank so fast leading to so much tragedy. all right tom thanks very much for bringing us the very latest tom barton reporting from russia's republic of tatarstan. and here in our t.v. we've got more on russia's worst boating accident on our website log on to r.t. dot com watch to watch exclusive footage by diverse searching the ship rock on the bottom of the volga river and an interview with a former captain of the doomed ship who says it was in no condition to sail long before the sinking. to other news now here in our teeth russia has proposed

a new step by step strategy towards iran nuclear program the idea suggest making limited concessions to iran if it goes along with the demands of the international community the statement comes after talks between the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton and russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov during his visit to washington the two also touched upon the libyan campaign with a lot of rough saying russia has less disagreement on the matter was the u.s. stand with some european countries but as he's guy announced account reports some bilateral issues still face certain difficulties. with regards to leave here both. russia and the u.s. have the view that colonel gadhafi must step down and that leaves should be able to choose their future leader it's the path towards those aims that moscow and washington disagree on the world russia criticizes the scope of the into the foreign intervention in libya possible sees the actions of the allied forces forces there as a violation of the un mandate minister lavrov said the resolution is being wrongly

interpreted as anyone can do whatever they want foreign minister was also asked about why russia is blocking a u. and they should have to condemn the syrian president assad and he said the attitude of the west is exclusively about exerting pressure on one of the parties namely the syrian government and president all side of moscow sees it as sees it as the wrong attitude question says it sends the wrong message to the syrian opposition prompting them to believe that if they were the main insistent in the situation keeps getting critical of the west will come to help them the way it is happening in libya mr lavrov said it's unacceptable that the opposition to resort to violence agitating peaceful protesters into engaging in armed clashes and if actively turning them into a target for the police and security forces take a listen we're going to deploy more to diplomacy exists not to condemn and score political points diplomacy exists to solve problems and make it condemnation without proposing any solution to any breakthrough neither in syria nor in any

other place there is a good example of how we are dealing with the situation in yemen no one's tripos into condemning anyone or a doctor the u.n. security council resolution supporting one or another signed everyone is. down and hold negotiations dance a responsible approach that we hope will prevail well on bilateral issues there have been some agreements and disagreements as usual but top diplomats bravely focused on agreements both pointed out the positive and constructive mode in which the cooperation between the two countries is go. on many issues in the last few years russia and the us of the landmark deal on arms reduction they deepen cooperation on afghanistan and have gone forward in preparations for russia's accession into the world trade organization the obama administration is all for it and hillary clinton has once again stressed the american leadership support for russia joining the w t o also they have signed the long awaited agreement on adoption after scores of horrible incidents involving russian children mistreated

by their adoptive parents in a number of cases murdered by them to stress the need for an agreement and a better oversight over how the adopted children are treated in their families and the deal finally came through the points in vision there included ban on independent adoption adoptions will only be conducted via licensed agencies also the agreement states that all foster children from our show will retain their russian citizenship until they reach legal adulthood that is very important as the agreement states that applicable laws from both countries will be used to add adoption related trials up until recently the americans did not want to hear anything about taking russian laws into account now as for disagreements america's missile defense plans is one of the most irritating issues in the relations between the two countries you could sense that both foreign minister lavrov and secretary of state clinton preferred not to go into details and talk much about disagreements

but nevertheless we know that there has been discussions behind closed doors president obama has scrapped the bush administration missile defense plans but they're going ahead with a new plan foreign minister lavrov said russians need a legally binding guarantees that the project will not threaten russia's security washington has made reassuring statements before but moscow needs to have it on paper so there is an understanding among the russians that words are good but words in a legally binding document are better but again no specific comments on that yet. they're all we are here live for you twenty four seven but for even more news in. videos just go to our web site r t dot com here's a taste of what's online right now find out why a monument to the first man in space your garden will be unveiled right at the very heart of london. and it's a happy ending for an escape scripter which brought fear when i was last in russia's city of the leningrad dot com to learn how the two meet along sneak

if it's even tougher. the only way in which an ratings agency can build independent global credibility is if it seemed to be free of all pressure now the only way in which it can really be seen to be free of all pressure is to produce a lower ratings on the bonds all the assets that it's asked to consider rather than produce higher ratings because after all if a new ratings agency whether it was in europe or whether it was in russia or whether it was anywhere else in the world if a new ratings agency miraculously decided that in its opinion the rating was substantially higher than anyone else had previously thought i think that would raise grave doubts about its credibility so ironically enough the only way that a new agency can build credibility is to produce a lower rating which of course would defeat the whole purpose of the object. let's move to the markets now oil is trading in near four day high signs of rising crude
