if you got my house. police repainted talking to his house to arrest him for haranguing the police. shortly after his arrest the investigation into your daughter's grooming had been dropped. they haven't looked at any of the evidence the police secretary has since admitted she has a hazy recollection of the telephone call she said upset so much but only when presented with tapes of the conversations he had luckily recorded the officers involved in his arrest were found to be at fault and sent to one of the training courses but doctors he believes that's not. i don't think anything different. and i think that. they need to be held accountable in the same way that anybody else would be in the court dockets he's a count of lies interest meant by the police is by no means unique but the phone hacking scandal has brought stories like his into the public eye revealing bribery

and corruption at the heart of the police force it's amazing the focus has tended to be on the journalists themselves and not on the allegedly corrupt police officers who have been receiving money to provide protected information but it is an endemic corruption and the failure of. two of the country's most senior police officers have resigned this week and two more are under investigation after relations between news corp and the police were revealed to have been far too cozy senior police officers were wining and dining with members of the murdoch empire they were they were making them for drinks privately one even hired them at a thousand pounds a day to work for him so you know what does this tell us about the relationship between the police and the news corp employees well it's very very serious and if this can happen at the top of the police look at the example that gives the officers down down the lines the home secretary has announced a review into the workings of the police. to rebuild public trust that's of little

comfort to michael daugherty who says he's traumatized by his experience at the hands of the people he turned to for help the phone hacking scandal has many far reaching implications from the potential breakup of a media empire to a loss of faith in the british press but it's also pushed into the spotlight once again a police force that appears only to tell the truth when its course out in a lie many are now asking how justice can prevail your advocates are to to young. well news international's got a taste of its own medicine after one of its most popular newspapers was hacked a fake story appeared on the sun's website which falsely claimed murdoch had died before directing readers to their twitter page that is posted by a group called to say which previously attacked fox news and cia home pages i lived with called one of us has also been active saying it brought down the times website which is another publication as the claims that swirl from the press to the top of

the establishment is concerned at least bribery allegations could harm the best again. there's been reports of about one hundred thirty thousand pounds worth of bribes that were given to the police in england but at the moment there are about ten in queries going on on every level within the police outside the police with some communities with the judge as well in all every kind of the main in this situation so we'll have to wait and see where this investigation will bring according to biographers of the. murdoch rupert murdoch says that it's likely that they will speak more than we should all that they're not exactly prepared for these kind of meetings and the last one in two thousand and three i believe they have become books already stated that there was corruption that he paid police officer pulls to get information about a public the idiot is even said that the news of the world. and sheen to crack down

people the other mobile phones that only the police would have for there are lots of our question of will probably be asked and if you answer there's likely that the mayor and then we might see something explosive it could be extraordinary divinations and more resignations and we can only hope with an inquiry it's going on the stime that the government will be able to we will be able to get answers from the government and the police force. well plenty more to come here in r.t. including arguably america's most exclusive tab site if you go down to the woods today from the most wealthy and powerful draft in the country's policies we have the details. now there's definitely an energy around the talks between russia and germany which get getting late on tuesday another merkel is expected to seek support for her country's move away from nuclear power which could open opportunities for russian gas there's

a world of other problems to tackle too from international security to western nations crossing the line on the u.n. mandate in libya that you bushel is in germany force. germany is russia's biggest trading partner and the announcement by the country that it plans to shelter all its nuclear stations in the light of the fukushima accident in japan gives an opportunity to russia's gazprom which is hoping to tie up big deals here in hanover gas from really seeing germany as a stepping stone to the whole e.u. market there also hopes to progress on russia's fish and bid finally to the world trade organization and germany and hope to tap into the balls to mobilize asian program of russia it should be better with tying up various big contracts we also know that there are problems with the economy throughout the european union which really makes germany look to the east for new deals the greek and portuguese crises which have seen one killer merkel facing

a lot of criticism here in germany for potentially having to bail out those countries especially in the light of the news that the crisis may be spreading to italy and spain germany is the european union's biggest creditor that means it gives more money to the european union than anyone else so there are fears that germany will have to foot the bill russia hopes germany comparing nato realm to the point of view of a joint missile defense system in other words that they can avoid the fear that the missile defense will be pointed at mosco there are fears in moscow that the defense system could be aimed at russia or libya germany or russia both abstained from the u.n. vote authorizing nato action in libya and they both want to stop further escalation of the void and that's their own report that nato countries all all me libya's rebels so both countries will be looking to strengthen their already strong relationship one a range of issues on which they share a common position. nato is

a new commander in afghanistan is warning of tough times ahead for the war effort general john allen has taken over from david petraeus as he lands begins with joint combat troops. when the country pulled out comes a bit of precious time about a decade long they took pains to contain three of foreign troops and afghan he says were killed in two separate attacks on monday cause i say well one of his top advisors will need. more activists brownback thinks the surge of violence highlights the findings of the u.s. led campaign. they can't win by staying in fact their presence is becoming the main catalyst for the armed insurgency not only the taliban but maybe one hundred forty armed groups and they can't leave either because if they leave there will be a perception that the us and nato were defeated by an armed insurgency but this dilemma must be solved some way so ultimately the united states cannot prevail the

assassination of karzai as brother and his inner circle shows that the edifice of the karzai regime necessary at least to get afghan face to the nato occupation that itself is now crumbling and attacks these assassination attempts are designed to create panic and i think in all likelihood they are creating panic within the very heart the foundation of the cars like government the u.s. is losing grown steadily its spending one hundred twenty billion dollars a year that's an increasing amount from the treasury that's already drained based on huge budget deficits here the number of casualties on the afghan and american side is is increasing not decreasing and yet they're no closer to victory in fact they're losing control of the country and the government that they sponsor is is in fact in danger of crime wave i would say the us hasn't gained anything i think the us is losing ground in spite of what david petraeus and the obama administration say this is a bad situation possibly a catastrophe for the united states. on the way i look at an urban exodus find out

why increasing number of greeks going back to the groups and putting the city's. some of the world's other stories now u.s. officials have met representatives of colonel gadhafi government telling them that libyan leader must go a spokesman for the regime said were meeting with step in fixing relations with the u.s. but insists that libyans will decide their own future when one party continues in a key eastern oil town of brega where rebels have declared they have taken the city . egyptian state t.v. a creative idea was to show live coverage of the corruption trial that you served under president mubarak the former minister and your previous head of state television accused of losing the country at least two million dollars right you can write casting right decision to screen the trial was ready to try and quell fresh

protests which returned slowly from. the grab for gold has seen the precious metal reach a record sixteen hundred dollars an ounce the scramble for bullion has led to price rises eleven consecutive days as investors see it as more stable than the beleaguered currencies of europe u.s. . leaders minds when they meet on this day to try and settle the markets in stemming leasing debts of spain. police have detained the captain of a vessel which sailed past a sinking pleasure cruise and without helping investigators say there are contradictory reports as to why two boats failed to stop the bulgaria went down the killing one hundred fourteen earlier the director of the firm that rented the boat and the ship's registrar were arrested recovery crews are now working on lifting the cruise despite bad weather expert. saying it could play

a crucial role in finding answers as to why the ship went down in just three minutes next task is to search the riverbed for fifteen missing victims and the garrett disaster has become one of the russian's west ever shipping tragedies or never so it's one thing serious questions about the countries with the fleet. scenes no one wants to see repeated russia still in shock over the sinking of the river cruise ship bulgaria that killed one hundred twenty nine but the tension now turns to the safety of the rest of russia's river plate. to see for ourselves we traveled upstream to the city of heroes. like the vast majority of vessels on the river this one was built and saw me at odds and in the last twenty years that's been through to. us it's one of whom has used that relentlessly most passenger ships to dismantle operate at the last vessel servicing remote areas all subsidized

would take it's costing as little as fifty cents a piece but tourists craft up to get city funding to there is no money for placements. we are just a small company we could never afford to build our own ships and i think with good care existing ships can be used for another thirty years but the whole business is these ships of the latest technical inspections but so too did the bulgaria and got ships situated emergency law was partly blamed for the high death toll. some are calling for stricter regulations including the subletting of old ships the small operators what used to think up on a large respectable company sees that a ship is getting too expensive to repair instead of writing it off they pass it on to a smaller operators on the smaller out for charleston and scrupulous about how they approach maintenance i have no money for autonomy that not everyone agrees.

because we simply start expanding shapes we will lose rivers trying to either any such measures must go hand in hand with redeveloping the river shipping industry just. bloody mary name is one of the new entrepreneurs this hoping to do just that yet he admits that orders for new vessels have declined dramatically following the economic difficulties of the last few years and years. ago so this industry is not going to pull itself out of the current crisis for that to happen the government must take that first step you mean. but even if this does happen it will take years for the new ships to come on stream in memory. if they're going to stop using it because of safety concerns. well it can be scared of everything so i will carry on going on these ever have a hat moments. now

in an age when most populations to cities in search of jobs and money but in greece it seems that the countryside is where fortunes come before it greeks moving out of the metropolis to try and find ways to survive the financial crisis that the country is facing his country has our report. the birthplace of civilization greece is famous for its ancient ruins among other things those very ruins and tourists they attract are today almost the only profitable thing in greece as the country totters on the brink of financial ruin. people here are losing all hope of making it through even the ones living in the capital athens. for many of the solution is simple leave city life behind. greece's reverting to an agricultural economy farming is one of the few remaining profitable industries with apple grape olive and cherry orchards practically everywhere there were a life is bountiful as

a city girl i could never imagine leaving behind that urban lifestyle and moving to a remote village but after seeing and tasting what the great countryside has to offer it becomes pretty clear that for the desperate people of athens this is a land of opportunities ripe for the picking. avar has known this for decades she picks her own fruit and uses them for daily business our workshop is practically a big kitchen and the work is like cooking for a big family something she does anyway with your house right above the shop she can never be late for work and i wouldn't change this for anything a city could. and many people tired of bottling up their frustrations in the city are making the same choice they did since i was living. everybody wants to do the same but they didn't have the money to go since we have

a crisis there's many people that leave and they go back to their houses. and. to find. a marmalades have given after a chance to raise her kids and live her life the way she wants but most greeks are simply an engine of a very large percentage of. people who have lost their jobs especially young people are almost desperate i mean i pitch young to become architects and i'm afraid that i cannot. tell them the truth will be. almost. ninety to ninety something percent statistics show that nearly one

million people have lost their jobs and their figures are only expected to rise with over forty percent of people under the age of twenty four out of work any job is in demand and quite religious like you are rapidly becoming the proverbial silver lining of the dark cloud that means a great. casuarinas are our team. now it seems that america's big decision. less likely to be hammered out in the border in a moment largely because in the woods for more than a century the wealthy and influential have used california's countryside for some far colluding parties christopher's out trying to stake who pitch as protesters claim too much important work is being decided there. it is nestled among the redwoods twenty seven hundred acres of pristine land broken down into dozens of camps and for two weeks every july since the eight hundred eighty s. they've been filled with some of the most wealthy and powerful men in the world.

many of them arrive on their corporate jets at the nearby sonoma county airport. others arrive in fancy cars which will fill the onsite parking lot at its height there is said to be more than two thousand men who attend and as you can imagine they are well protected by a trove of police private car yeah i know we go through we're all covering the protest and we just wanted to see if there was i would like you know still get off the property because there's no way we know it is not in our story all a lot of the police come and arrest you if you don't think ok thank you access is by invitation only and most pay more than fifteen thousand dollars to attend. and for more than thirty five years protesters have stood at the entrance gates our concern is not what's going on inside of the grove but what's happening outside of the grove with the people that are in here according to several reports and this is

where the idea for the manhattan project was conceived back in one nine hundred forty two it's also where every republican president since the sixty's has spent time before actually becoming the nominee we know for sure that richard nixon and ronald reagan sat down and had a conversation about who was going to run for president when and i mean they made a deal peter phillips wrote his dissertation on the bohemian club in one thousand nine hundred four and was invited to attend for four days he witnessed firsthand the opening of vent the cremation of care where the power elite leave their cares behind in a symbolic ceremony a nice moloch the scene in this photo judge says he was a paid employee of the grove and drove the horse and buggy that carried the casket in the ceremony the casket represented their careers and they would actually. burnet and there is a long lake with music this is a place filled with secrets that only those who go inside and perhaps the tree will

ever really know but i was able to get my hands on some photographs that i want to show you just to give you a sense on what it looks like on the inside here's a much younger dick cheney at the grove and henry kissinger having a little fun i was also able to get my hands on several programs from previous years outlining the schedule of talks and their topics and what we have here on july twenty second two thousand and eight is the lakeside talk given by c.f.r. member and trilateral commission member fred starr he gave a tall called afghanistan the unexpected upside there are other connections to be made as well between the lakeside talks and public policy that followed this was a man that was involved in the. oil business george link with the persian gulf crisis this is one nine hundred eighty caspar weinberger who was the secretary of defense in the reagan administration on rearming america and that's easily

documented the arms build up came in. late eighty one eighty two. there are rumors of extreme drunkenness of prostitutes and of homosexual activities by members but for the most part it is the secret backroom agreements critics say should be brought to light that agreement can be you know occupying the middle east fighting terrorism. and circling china politically and militarily for mary moore who's been researching bohemian grove for more than three decades what happens inside is symptomatic of a much larger problem we've all grown up taking civics trying to understand how the world works and we're all told that we elect representatives they go to washington we have total influence over them and they make decisions that are in the best interests of us then we start growing up and if we pay any kind of attention we find out that none of that is true in monterrey california christine for south r.t.

. well it's nice you know here dotty. hello and welcome to business here in artsy and we start this hour with the heights project skull call we're just continuing to track new companies russia's answer to silicon valley has unveiled a for the thirteen firms have signed up and the project's two operating officer says investment is coming both from big and small players. on one level we've already attracted commitments from for example cisco of one billion dollars to invest in chicago on a smaller level one of the big pharma we've also attracted forty million dollars to invest in venture funds plus one hundred million dollars to invest in setting up an r. and d. center for twenty four trials at skolkovo and then on another level in the venture capital we've attracted four funds collectively which i have committed financing to

go finance with us about forty million dollars as well so give you a range of the type of partners we're working with from the very large commitments to very important commitments on the venture side as well our goal is to match one hundred percent potentially twenty percent of the finance that we receive from the russian government and i think we're on track to do in that we have to keep in mind the scope of it is about thirteen months old and i think we made some very decent progress so far now the skolkovo c.e.o. also said that collaboration with the sperm bank which is one of the projects major partners was more than just a financial one. one of the keys that they're helping is to provide financing for the project itself which is very important it takes money to achieve these things but also we are working together on developing a very interesting data center an advanced technology data center that i believe certainly russia has no equal and so we're very excited or cluster ideas developing that together wish for a bank so it's a multi level relationship with them. and let's take

a look at the markets now crude is on the rise as investors wait for reports of morrow that may show us inventory is the climb for seventh week our concerns about the prospects of the global economic recovery are limits and again. and asian shares are lower without uncertainty about their resolution of the u.s. and european debt problems putting pressure on the markets financials are the first to suffer and in tokyo no more holdings is losing more than two and a half percent a stronger again is also weighing in on importers exporters rather and the same story goes and hong kong where heavyweight h.s.b.c. is in the around half a percent. and it's two hours ahead of the opening bell in moscow their actual markets ended monday in the red by over one and a half percent because they were affected by laura oil prices. and looking ahead to the rest of the week's trade flabbier bride down at alpha capital believes the

negative mood is likely to consider new and more red numbers will be posted on the board. i don't think that today will see some changes in overall. because the key event for the markets were both as they were and european leaders world try to decide what to do with all the stops. difficulties so i think markets are likely to drift in and on watts maybe we will see some nirvana's might steal this is going to be some minor rants and will not spoil the overall three year. well that's all the business news for now all the headlines are next with carrie.

for the full story we've got it from the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers.

its economy back on track all to no talks the united nations man who is looking at only now to the catastrophic boom bust culture. it's been twenty years since the united nations convened its earth summit in rio de janeiro brazil now the countries of the world are preparing to get together yet again in two thousand and twelve to talk about how they can green the world economy and eradicate poverty united nations secretary general for the conference on sustainable development shows a kong sits down with r.t. to talk to the row about the road to rio plus twenty thank you so much for being with us secretary-general tell us a little bit about what has happened in terms of sustainable development in the last twenty years and what are some of the priorities for this conference this time around i think in the last two years some progress being made.

the field of sustained development i mentioned in my speech for example in the poverty eradication we are making progress the health field we are making progress the age of creation we are making progress but the progress is too small and it is instead of natalie i think. you know many of the comments made twenty years ago and have not to be implemented and the deceased the real issue therefore for the object of the real number is to visit new commitment number two you know come up with a set up to measure us you know to implement what we hornady committed i think if you could talk a little bit about it's been you know twenty years the world. has increased by sixty percent but that equality hasn't really.
