and a potential new wave of quantitative easing is creating a lot of confusion on the markets doing business r.t. in twenty minutes time to find out what you can do in these conditions. welcome this is art see it's ten pm now moscow time my name is kevin and first a former c.e.o. of rupert murdoch's british media operation rebecca brooks is facing angry lawmakers right now the phone hacking and police bribery claims for the now defunct news of the world before that m.p. spent three hours grilling rupert murdoch and his son james events took a dramatic twist to when two protesters broke into the westminster committee chamber although order was quickly restored houses lower and that's following it all for us from london. turns out that it's police are saying that it's somebody who is actually a comedian who tweeted earlier on that he was going to do something to disrupt

proceedings one person he was taken out in handcuffs essentially what happened is that he broke into this room where the here where the proceedings were taking place and he pelted murdoch with what appeared to be a white substance that it may or may not have been shaving foam but something quite light and managers managed to get merged with it at which point mr mr murdoch senior's wife stands up and attempts to slash the process down to try to protect her husband question about its movements the proceedings were suspended for around fifteen minutes in the afternoon and then. murdoch's junior and senior came back and took the stand at the end of their hearing the committee apologized profusely for what they said was an unacceptable interruption by a member of the public this is a scandal which has implications throughout society the news corp employees and indeed goss's have been answering questions the softening about what they knew

about the phone hacking at the news of the world alleged payments to by journalists to the police james murdoch specifically approved pay outs settling with celebrities particularly he's going to being hacked why the committee was asking has he done that when he now admits that he didn't have full knowledge of what was going on the news the world and of course was there a cover up parliament and the police misled about what's been going on and how is the police forces relationships with the press how is that how is that comes to be as cosy as it appears to be from this scandal at the end of it has to be said that rupert murdoch was very contrite he said he apologized profusely to victims of the phone hacking scandal he said it was an unacceptable invasion into the lives of private people and here except that news of the world. and. news corp news international had broken trust with its readers he said he'd made mistakes and the people he trusted had been betrayed there's been another interesting development as

well in that this scandal now has a death to go along with it police found the body of a man called sean hall in his house just on monday he was the first names journalist to allege that he was editor at the time and he calls another news of the world who later became david cameron the prime minister's director of communications knew all along about the phone hacking and had actively encouraged his journalists to hack into phones now that news has really broken on twitter that the twitter r.t. as we call them are going going insane about it really comparing the death of sean hoare to the death of david kelly in two thousand and three but he of course was the u.n. weapons inspector who first cast doubts on the government's claims that iraq could deploy weapons of mass destruction within forty five minutes. those two deaths are being compared widely on twitter and i'll just read a few of the tweets that we've seen comparing these two deaths one says i can't

help feeling there must be foul play involved in the sean hoare death much as i suspected with dr david kelly an uneasy feeling another one says it says everything about the british public paranoia that sean hoare is trending alongside david kelly that shows a deep distrust of all foresty in this country and another one anyone else see the similarities in situation between sean hoare and david kelly or is it just me were they pushed or did they jump and in another extraordinary coincidence it turns out that both bodies were found on the eighteenth of july short hauls of course just yesterday and talked to david kelly in two thousand and three so eighteenth of july a bad day for whistleblowers for all for moral implications of the story. global. from the u.s. journalist shares possesses in miami a very good evening thanks for being on the program a good report there wrapping up what's happening this side of the atlantic with

scandals already lapping at the shores of the us too isn't it with the cia looking into allegations that the phones of nine eleven victims were hacked or if that were ever to be proved it would have huge implications your side of the pond too wouldn't it. it would be massive i mean obviously right now it's just a lot of speculation for us and obviously you know i did it kind of like the show more than i would caution against turning co-incident into well into. hard evidence right now really what you're seeing mostly is just speculation surely it is true that journalists are like up somebody don't my career and we're in there something like a criminal enterprise going on obviously there are going to be anything having to do with any kind of things around going to sort of other criminal activity i'm not going to be tied into it right now it's just you know it's kind of growing now this scandal reveals an inheritor relationship between politicians police and the papers

and britain is it going to be a similar story in the u.s. as it was the same way. in a lot of ways yeah i mean obviously. the relationship that the british tabloids have with it first of all in the control that they have in england the kind of the level of power to exert is really kind of on the president that a lot of times when we get there it is. essentially the reason the vision don't rag on tabloids in ukraine because they fear being put on the part you get your a little bit more is. more political more the case of like the thing that i wrote about in a couple of days ago had to do with the fact that rupert murdoch's news corp which owns fox news here a lot of the republican presidential candidates are either paid contributors this you're right it's a contributor to fox news or they're people just sort of turn over on your one regular guest on fox news so yeah i mean there's certainly something to look into

about whether or not news corp would be able to exert sort of a certain amount of pressure and what kind of pressure being exerted over certainly republican politics in this country and obviously you know you're talking about your party system that politics and public policy in general is have about how this is going to pan out in the u.k. but no not what i guess is the ultimate business as usual as far as the mode of industry was in financial in the u.s. and the way crucially people work with it. no i think that i think obviously this is sort of this is the end of the sort of you can't really call murdoch's empire infallible but i'm touchable maybe with a better word and this is definitely the end of the untouchable murdoch empire. you know in england or smelling blood in the water here certainly smelling blood in the water and it's not just competitors i mean it don't like the way that murdoch does business and he has his corporate culture is it's pretty vicious you know i mean it

is there's just no doubt about it and so i think that you're going to definitely see a lot of changes in how our. companies perceive how it's dealt with so definitely you're actually read about we've only got a few seconds everyone else here is well again but more generally one of effects going to pay in the hearing today will but murdoch said that news organizations need to put a stronger emphasis on ethics in the wake of the scandal some will say that's come too late meadow if the media is global village on the for patients of the scandal be global with me type of a suction zone the media throw out. i don't know i honestly don't you know i think that there are going to be a lot of questions asked to be over here in the space there are there are always questions about what murdoch's business is do with the wall street journal reports the new york post or certainly with fox news reports but yeah i mean you know one of the words that was used today was endemic and murdoch that it got was a very strong word and it is it's a very very strong word because it implies the idea that what's going on within

murdoch's organisations are it is a sort of culture it's not just one or two different people and if that's true then you know friend of mine wrote the road and gone a couple of she said you know go ahead smell really bad on the fish that's a pretty good chance to fail because no back to you so yeah i would see a pretty round was jealous just as good as a thanks for your thoughts about this in miami tonight on outtakes thanks very much . israeli commanders of border guards abound aid ship on the approach to the blockaded territory reporting no resistance from activists on board i'm french vessel which is now been taken to the israeli port of ashdod is the last from a ten strong humanitarian flew till it was prevented from leaving a great port three weeks ago our correspondent paula slee is across developments for you in israel. just before noon local time today tuesday the friendship which is known as the d.n.a. table surrounded by at least we israeli naval ships as it made its way to gaza this is off to the ship anchored overnight in international waters now we understand

that the israeli navy contacted the captain of the ship wants him that if you went any further they key would be acting illegally breaking israel's blockade on gaza and according to the israeli army they made it quite clear to the ship's captain and the ship's passengers that there were other legal options available to them they're all sixteen people on board the ship ten of them up passengers three of them are crew three of them are journalists this is the furthest any ship so far in this year's freedom for two to has been able to go in terms of being able to reach gaza now the israelis are at pains not to see a repeat of what happened last year when you had their food insecure one that incident in which turkish citizens were killed when israeli commanders wanted to because they have a mob in modern russia and they simply do not want to see that happen again so they added pains to try and see this dealt with peacefully and without any kind of loss of life israeli soldiers naval soldiers boarded the ship when it was some seventy

kilometers away from gaza and there's no question that the ship was still in international waters it did go off without incident and walk now that ship is in the israeli port city of ashdod according to the israeli army spokesperson there the passengers on board will be dealt with by the israeli immigration police but the question of just how the eagle rays really actually was all still remains a very important question and there have been at least separate investigative committees that was set up last year to look at how these ratings surges in next to low incidence how they dealt with that and all the human family wants councils founded to quote them that the israeli actions have not really and later this month we do expect the findings of a second u.n. commission that has already indicated that. why finds the israeli blockade on gaza not illegal israeli soldiers did last year at home when you look at the comments from international legal experts they say that when ships are in the high seas

there is something such as the freedom of navigation and as such the israeli soldiers boarding the friendship is in fact illegal os's policy of their war from their online tonight from us of r.t. plus a lot of other stories of course we're covering as well a lot more as well but we just don't have target t.v. here but there's so much online for you twenty four seven r.t. those calling this story getting a lot of hits charges brought against the parents of an eleven year old russian boy who confessed to attacking a passenger plane with a laser gun find out what projects are doing to clamp down on a growing and potentially deadly problem. also online from us why belgian newspapers' copyright with web giant google is saying the paper's web site removed from internet search results what you think of that story fair or unfair tell us so as well the story should see our travel dot com. trade in energy have fuel talks between the leaders of russia and germany in hand over the demands of

europe's biggest economy a growing russia says it is very capable of meeting those demands that is done to bushell's been following a high level meeting. germany's decision to shut its nuclear stations has opened opportunities for the likes of process gazprom the gas giant is hoping to tie up some deals here in hanover which it really sees the german market as a stepping stone to the rest of the european union germany and seize opportunities in russia in particular the vast noise they should program of russia's infrastructure knelt by president dmitry medvedev and given the problems in the rest of the eurozone there are concerns that the european market may not be providing germany with the same opportunities as before nevertheless president medvedev says he's cautiously optimistic about the future of the eurozone he would like to see more currencies come to the fore there is a particular friendship between angular merkel and made from it better perhaps two of the closest partners on the world stage and that was very much present here in the talks today president medvedev has been quiz several times about his election

opportunities and today he said that he would be making you know it's a very shortly. they share common views on the whole middle east situation of course both countries abstained from the u.n. vote authorizing action for military intervention in libya so much of it is a little saying you shouldn't even though we thought that the resolution will be implemented to what it says a no fly zone that's not mean of war but actually instead of a no fly zone what we see he's an active phase of civil war and some forces are actually supporting one of the parties to the conflict in there it's not good in fact for leaving it is very bad so i think we should continue looking for opportunity to find a peaceful solution to this situation we should use all sorts of mediators and all sorts of opportunities because the libyan problem does not have a military solution was

a reference the nato mission by several nato states that they are arming libya's rebels and potentially escalating the violence both mr medvedev and i'm going to merkel say they're against military resolution of the syrian conflict where boylan's between government troops and the opposition is growing. sure your correspondent recovery crews working on lifting the doomed ship called carrier from the bottom of the volga river have managed to finally bring the vessel upright but they say the operation to raise it might take several more days it's how to play a crucial role in finding out why the ship went down in just three minutes meanwhile police arrested the captain of a vessel that's part of the pleasure cruiser as it was sinking without stopping to help earlier the director of the firm the rent of the boat and we should also resting and what gary assange can russians for nine days ago killing nearly one hundred thirty people it has become one of russia's worst shipping tracking things and that's a lot more gary continue to cruise russian waterways are to go go read my.

scenes no one wants to see repeated russia still in shock over the sinking of the river cruise ship carrying it killed one hundred twenty nine but the. safety of the rest of russia's river fleet to see for ourselves we traveled upstream to the city of europe. like the vast majority of vessels on the river this one was built in soviet times and. it's one of whom has used that relentlessly most passenger ships in this war operate at the last vessel service in remote areas are subsidized but think it's costing as little as fifty cents apiece tourist grafter to get city funding too there is no money for a place once. we are just a small company who could never afford to build our old ships i think we could get

the existing ships can be used for another fifty years. the owners it says these ships have passed the latest technical inspections but so too did the bulgaria and ships had to create an emergency alarm was probably blame for the high death toll. some are calling for stricter regulations including the subletting of all ships the small operators what is called make up on a large respectable company sees that a ship is getting too expensive to repair and sort of writing it off they pass it on to a smaller operator and these smaller outfits are often scrupulous about how they approach maintenance i have no money for autonomy that not everyone agrees is that even if we simply start banning ships we will lose forever transports altogether any such measures must go hand in hand with redeveloping the river shipping industry. bloody mary needs as one of the new entrepreneurs this hoping to do

just that yet that orders for new vessels have declined dramatically following the economic difficulties of the last few years. ago so this industry is not going to pull itself out of the current crisis for that to happen the government must take the first step. in the work with even if this does happen it will take years for the new ships to come on stream and let me ask passengers on an old share i began to stop using it because of safety concerns. well you can be scared of everything so i will carry on going on these private banks and have a happens. either of now. yes lovel. he writes lawyers are seeking an arrest warrant against a former cia legal director whose allegedly approved drone attacks in pakistan that killed hundreds it is claimed the joint reserve agreed on a list of people to be targeted by drone strikes a practice that started in two thousand and four under the bush administration has

talked to fred graham from it is an american and he war activist and author get his thoughts about this either thanks for being on the program to labor and it seems obvious that these attacks are often inaccurate because at the end of the day the people who carry them out of doing so by remote control from the u.s. some claimed only the drone attacks kill as many as fifteen on targeted people for each intended target so how does the u.s. justify using these weapons. it's claiming that it's only targeting named people who want to do harm to the united states but as you are saying the only name fifty six people they've killed at of nineteen hundred people most of whom are unnamed but can you prove that can be proved sure of your facts say it because yes as you say they pay us times by the father is just a fraction of what activists are saying of the number that have been killed. let me quote to you from reuters on may fifth two thousand and ten and cia received

approval to target a wider range of target it's pakistanis tribal areas including low level fighters identities may not be known u.s. official said on wednesday it's so they acknowledge that they are killing people they don't even know their names. targeting criteria they can only name fifty six hind of oh ok the leaders they've admitted killing one thousand nine hundred people they simply state their own militants but most of those they don't even though their names believe accuracy some of these drone attacks is sometimes blamed on folder in accurate intelligence i mean theoretically then if there were to be better intelligence would you be happier that these things are used and. if i am not happy with the use of drones to be murder on armed suspects these are these are people there and that nothing's been proven in fact in the newsweek

article that was the basis for this lawsuit their coral suspects what i'm in favor of is stopping the drone strikes working on economic aid to pakistan. becoming friends with the pakistani people in working with the police to do actual police work to target if they couldn't find osama bin laden in ten years in pakistan how on earth could maybe finding with equal care. flaming could be killing and let me stress one other point the basic justification for this program is that it's protecting america it's necessary for us national security in fact by all the figures that we've seen these drone strikes have been furious at the people pakistan we've quadrupled the pakistani taliban in numbers and violent attacks they've moved them east into the abbey heartland to the point where they now pose a major threat to the pakistani government the pakistani military so much that

there's now talk of an anti u.s. military coup on the front page of the new york times and most important we according to the u.s. ambassador and better solution real than the wiki leaks cable. we're so the u.s. is so hated now in pakistan the government is afraid it's corkery we're going on safe boarding it's nuclear materials which of the world's fastest growing and by all experts will tell you the least secure so the result of this drone strike campaign is their sleep increasing the danger in the united states of the conventional and or nuclear terrorist attack and as you know one more attack will freddy let's concentrate on these drones that we have a little off a lot of time want to focus on what you just said it's a rep aka stan relations with america and pakistan of course the u.s. relies very heavily on pakistani intelligence to. give the coordinations full of these drones at the same time as he was saying relations are an old time low i

guess it could be argued by some it could be in some officials interest to see the u.s. fail. absolutely strong possibility. beyond there is no evidence that these drone strikes are working their increasingly true. to the purpose clearly government. all right fred thanks for the program fred brown from their american antiwar activist and author joining us from santa barbara. all sport coming up shortly union will bring us the latest on the european hopes of russia's basketball team find out why a footballer scoring a goal was dubbed disrespectful now it's coming up to twenty four half minutes past ten was good times over dmitri complaisant. thanks kevin very much the shadow of death now extends from washington to tokyo and covers the capitals of europe the markets are not panicking but the steady drip of bad news is taking its toll on tensions are playing a part as e.u.

leaders quarrel over greece u.s. lawmakers are in stalemate over the debt ceiling index futures group jack goujon explains what to do. i think that the pessimistic investor needs to still have exposure to the market unfortunately remember a pessimistic investor right now believe it or not has three counter intuitive in one nine hundred thirty two for example soybeans traded at forty four cents a bushel in one nine hundred fifty two they traded at four dollars and fifty cents a bushel this was a conscious effort on the part of the government to inflate. instead of growth and that's exactly what happened we saw the devaluation of the currency so believe it or not a pessimistic investor right now needs to be exposed to commodities needs to be exposed to hard assets so as an individual i think what you have to do is almost bite the bullet and fine investments that make sense multinationals of course that have exposure all over the world that are part of this global growth story more
