join the visuals a movie that's the case we go to the ground in period. to talk to school until you can a little closely to see don't need to go. run to the kennel was a child as a retreat. or not it's a night gone but certainly not from media speculation points to the resurrection of the disgraced and defunct news of the world under russian ownership of billionaire legs an eleven m. from a tight lipped. pressure on the british prime minister he's grilled in parliament over ties with the embattled rupert murdoch and his media empire also. serbia will get in return for years against nothing whatsoever experts believe the arrest of go ahead it's the last remaining war crimes suspect wanted by the un from the balkan conflict is unlikely to bring serbia closer to even membership. in

tripoli was not considered good coffee stepping down that's the position revealed by libya's foreign minister at a meeting with his russian counterpart here in moscow. hello it's eleven pm here in moscow this wednesday evening my name is kevin when you watch an r t in our top story rumors are mounting with russian billionaire alexander lebedev would like to revive britain's news of the world the newspaper recently shut down by rupert murdoch yes k.g.b. agent has some experience of the u.k. paper business too early both the independent and the london evening standard. it's called the latest. there's been a huge amount of media hype here in the u.k. if you can imagine a nation sitting around glued to its t.v. screens into its radio. as the top executives from news corp and prime minister david cameron have all been paraded before m.p.'s know how to answer some very

tough questions a lot of media surrounding that but now and i should add that this is just reports coming from the media that alexander lebedev hasn't confirmed this himself but it looks like he may be interested in becoming the hero of the piece and sensually picking up the news of the world and releasing it under a new name which media reports are saying that he might call it news instead of news of the world he would just tell you a little bit about leverage if he's estimated by forbes magazine to have a fortune of two point one billion dollars and of course he owns shares in era floats he also owns a newspaper in russia another i guess yet a. king and construction media assets all that kind of thing but he has been a controversial figure in the u.k. as you mentioned he's a former k.g.b. officer who worked at the london this embassy in london during the cold war so when he started to invest in london in the u.k.

some newspaper markets impulse are these titles the evening standard and the independent people were quite worried that he would use his influence to have a saying that it's all real decisions but in fact that hasn't happened and he's widely seen as a very welcome addition to the u.k.'s newspaper market now his press service when we contacted him said that they couldn't comment and that this was the first that they had heard of this story but we are still waiting to see whether the legacy of himself will come out and confirm or deny that it's meanwhile this phone hacking scandal which is really a huge upset here in the u.k. has claimed the life of sean for he was the first journalist to allege that his editor. the news of the world i think also knew about and has actively encouraged phone hacking at his newspaper there's more information about that in the records. another political scandal erupts another whistleblower diaries sure who was the

first news of the world journalists to go on the record to allege that phone hacking was endemic at the paper and that its editor andy colson actively encouraged it paul was found dead in his house on monday setting the blogosphere into a frenzy of comparisons with the case of dr david kelly noise in the sun horror story reminds me of how dr david kelly was dumped are similar tragedies of shawn hornbeck's kelly wallace magnus swan and that it can be shown who are those what i'm thinking something's not right dr kelly was the u.n. weapons inspector who first cast doubt on the government's claim that iraq could deploy weapons of mass destruction within forty five minutes it led to scrutiny of tony blair's decision to invade iraq by extraordinary coincidence kelly's body was discovered exactly eight years before that of sean hordes on the eighteenth of july

two thousand and three it was british journalist andrew gilligan who david kelly had spoken to to publicize his belief that the forty five minute claim had been exaggerated gilligan believes there are similarities between kelly and short haul being of the center of one of these storms a terrifying experience i really don't believe either david or sean hoare was murdered because. i simply don't think it would have been in anyone's interest to murder them once they got into the public spotlight anyone with an iota of sense in government would have known that to kill them we're just we're just amplify the story i think it's i think both were under enormous pressure from their roles as whistle blows and and found it difficult to cope with that pressure short haul with evidence could have been crucial to proving that the news of the world and. it has supported a culture of listening to private voice mail sports stories because former editor andy corson who later became a media director to the current prime minister has always denied the allegations and was destroyed professionally by news international the. london is

a very small amount was. drinking too much taking drugs he was depressed moralized police a thing called death doesn't appear suspicious and they're looking at suicide dr kelly's death was also recorded as suicide although many including leading doctors and m.p.'s have never accepted that their suspicions of hardly be quelled by the fact that most of reports and other evidence has been classified for seventy years so ten arrests six resignations two convictions and one death that the toll of the phone hacking scandal so far the death of a key whistleblower in this scandal has raised questions but so far only about twitter or c it's being reported as a horrible and unfortunate coincidence but it's doubtful that if this is happening

elsewhere say in russia or in india the british media would be so quick to accept it as a coincidence particularly gets out in the light of the death of david kelly you're at it r.t. . precious voting or probably going over to discuss news corps executives to discuss this though we're joined from new york. reporter for politico dot com. thanks for being on the program so a promise to cameron tried hard to distance himself from the ties that knew that he has with news corp least definitely in what i look at it going to be the hardest time for him since he took office just how deep are its connections with a murderer. well certainly there are a lot of politicians whether it's in england whether it's in great britain or in the united states that have very very deep ties with news corp and that happens in a lot of forms and fashions it's not only in terms of the staff members and the relationships that have been built with news corp executives but also the money issues that have been coming into play here both in terms of campaign finance and

the direct lobbying efforts that have been waged by news corp and its various subsidiaries who would have thought would end there like this almost a fight isn't it between heavyweights meadow and catherine if you things eventually going to lose his job oh it's very difficult to save but certainly you have the news corp folks reeling right now and but of course what david cameron and many of my colleagues have been reporting on this through great degree even a very bad situation soon now here in america things have not heated up quite as much nearly as it has over in england but you've got to be able to think that in a month or two months or some time down the road that this is also going to come to us shores as well in a fashion that's going to be very prominent and certainly very profound as well back in the u.k. course is will play very much into the hands of labor's ed miliband the opposition . yes absolutely and in.

place where you have one side that is getting hammered because of a scandal the other sides are going to try to capitalize on it as much as possible and that's obviously what you're seeing here don't expect that to stop it's probably going to continue for for a long time going forward definitely weeks and perhaps months so that this scandal what i look at is going to seriously affect the way the media works in the future is that how much you think it's going to change on both sides of the poll and. it's going to have some effect but it is very early right now there really is no way to tell first of all how deeply this is going to cut into news corp itself it's a huge company that has properties of course and many many countries. just being one of them here in the united states there are numerous numerous different operations not just in news but an entertainment as well so to say how it's going to affect news corp is one one question in and of itself how it's going to affect the media landscape in general is entirely another but this definitely does a president for what you know what can happen when you have news organizations that

are operating in a way that most people can certainly despicable and it may make news organizations think twice when they're doing a the type of operations that they are the type of reporting that they are if it delves into this area that can be at the least scandalous and at worst fully illegal david just wanted to hear i mean he was the world was just one percent of the great murdoch empire in britain obviously his story is blown up huge in britain how is it being reported in america what are people making a bit of course. most of his assets are already america. they are and it's all over the papers here it's all over the television here one of my colleagues here t.j. has been doing some great reporting on it and really it's something that have captivated people because everyone here in the united states. you know what fox news is everyone here in the united states knows what the wall street journal is or the new

york post these are names that have been around for years and years ago here in the last day or so have those that have those names lost any respect over this do you think for some people yes for some people no a lot of folks are always. right in if you lean left yourself you may be apt to think you did less of that now if you like the wall street journal q lightbox news but maybe it hasn't affected your psyche about the corporation nearly as much as it has for others but just like anything you're always going to have people who are going to be detractors you're always going to have people who are supporters whether that balance is going to shift is something that is definitely worth in paris watching going forward ok dividends from politico dot com now you're going to be looking at thanks so much for your opinions on our site thank you we like your opinion too and the stories you see particularly this one is such a big one on our website we're asking you what do you think the biggest fallout from the u.k. phone hacking scandal is going to be this is what you've been telling it seems the

majority of you think that you believe the battle group of murder will now given the more powerful competitors you think he's on the way this hour as well. be as sure as you were previously the u.k. i mean the moguls and for those of us split between two options either conventional media as we know it will collapse with bloggers taking over and they've been out in force lately over this one story will only hit the books offices across the globe the saga taking the big screen is an epic blockbuster there you have a great interview with me you could have your say it out. serbia has fulfilled the final demands of the u.n. war crimes tribunal for the former yugoslavia croatian serb leader go to have each has been arrested after seven years on the run he's accused of atrocities during creations war for independence from yugoslavia in the early ninety's ranging from murder to religious persecution. follows the arrest of rock of love which was wanted for similar crimes the tensions with the requirements of serbia's bid to

join the e.u. and for more insight into this story big developments today let's go to belgrade talk to paris law called a lot of it she's a serbian journalist and political analyst thank you for being on our team now what is serbia is done with the war crimes fugitives what will the next euro be that love to jump through do you think for its dream to be fulfilled good evening and thank you for your call to be guests of your t.v. . first of all i would say. just a half of the job has been done or maybe even not half. there is a very long journey towards the european union and i'm afraid that there will be a lot of. obstacles on it. police are saying serbia hasn't been given any guarantees as you say of e.u.

membership but it must be very hopeful nonetheless because it seems determined to fulfill so many e.u. joining conditions doesn't it. you're right. we have fulfilled a lot of requests from brussels gart on the other side there is a so-called. declaration from two thousand and three promising to all rest european current through the. balkan countries to become a member of the e.u. one day saw no we called there to each side will keep its promises we have kept out promises as far as hague very beautiful is concerned now it is up to european union to fulfill their part of the promises. but. the more important thing is that we should down the road we should to develop our society according to the highest standards of european union and tried

to be responsible member of the. society of european nations porous lower wonder behind the scenes if the e.u. may be as keen. to take on another member these days as as it struggles more and more to stay afloat with the growing debt crisis and loss trust substate bed mark even bringing border control it does beg the question could it even cope with another member right now. you are right they think that is a huge dilemma. what i think is that there will be a sort of powers after croatia would be received in two thousand and thirteen it seems and after that there is recently we have heard of some dutch papers saying that

the next wave of a large woman would fall in two thousand and thirty so in twenty years time so it is a long period. during which we have to leave normal lives there to means that we should try to develop. particularly cannot make relation was we as larger number of countries as possible and not to neglect russia not to live like china. locked in american or asia or african countries. delegates thank you for your views said the journalist and political analyst and list as you are big you very much for being on the program it was a pleasure of by. tripoli refuses to negotiate over colonel gadhafi stepping down the news was revealed by libya's foreign minister during a beating with his russian counterpart in moscow i think catarina visit the foreign

ministry got the latest for you. well according to russian officials it was actually the libyan side that asked for this meeting which gives diplomats in moscow a cautious often isn't because of course it signifies to them that those in power in libya are attempting to seek diplomatic solutions to the problem russia of course proposed itself as a mediator and has basically said that it will try to do everything possible to bring about a cease fire and a diplomatic solution to the conflict in contrast to the military intervention held that are led by nato troops which russia believes is simply prolonging the so-called policy of isolation and of course the recognition by some western states all of the opposition forces in benghazi as the legitimate government is only extending the conflict russia has said that it does believe moammar gadhafi should step down and will continue to do everything in his power to bring about a diplomatic resolution to the ongoing conflict. that's one of the many controversial issues indeed story of

a story of love to debate on our website forum you can join into. your call and while you're there want to take a look at the stories of children preparing for motherhood new breast feeding goals of got a mixed reaction if you want expect from parents is what it was shows and totals across europe and the u.s. is that a good thing or if it will just fall too early to be thinking about those sort of figures no doubt so you don't call them. also ways of bringing glasses remember flying glass the world's greatest country. or you make projects underway in st petersburg to create a tiny replica of russia in fine detail you have to squint you can see it all gather it so you go home. if. if if. if. in the u.s. the obama administration signals it will support

a short term extension of the debt ceiling if there's an agreement pick up the deficit and he welcomes the bipartisan senate proposal which includes spending cuts and new taxes that's with only two weeks left to avoid a looming default that's discuss the situation about the u.s. economy let's go live to washington and their cars for the senior economist at the i.m.f. and currently lead economist at global financial integrity a busy guy as we appreciate your time to come into the studio mr a lot of worry of us finances right now how much of that impacts on the world economy how much of the worry spills over. a lot spills or are the u.s. is still the elephant in the room regardless of what. the recent talks about decoupling emerging markets decoupling from the u.s. economy about the u.s. economy is still a rules the roost so to speak in the unlikely event that lawmakers fail to reach a final agreement before that deadline which is two weeks hence what might the

consequences be there for global finance is then toyed with just disastrous there's no question about it if the u.s. defaults of the bird you know u.s. . instruments debt instruments the ratings would plunge and you know it would be riskier it would be seen as riskier and interest rates would spike and that will have a little effect on interest as across the world but what about the trouble of many compare the u.s. debt crisis with the european economic turmoil we're seeing right now when of spending cuts and tax likes to take place do you think we can expect protests from an angry american public like we've witnessed across europe. well i would not expect the same kind of protests that is happening now in. the us. it could be across all the states in the u.s. but i think. there's no question that there just been too that it acquired would be

sort of painful and it would be it would be long and long process but the reason. would not be so severe is that the crisis in the u.s. is not so severe in the case of greece and spain and portugal so the us being a larger economy and having more resources would be able to deal with it in a smoother manner and phasing this is a painful law adjustment over time but still it will be painful there's no question but nonetheless a look at it it's mind boggling the u.s. debt ceiling it's huge if to get out america's aaa credit rating remains intact will be lovely does that mean that the economy is fine and the country can just keep on borrowing as it reaches this new limit and indeed when it goes above it again may bring. along in this is the important differences between the u.s.

economy and the smaller european economies the u.s. has the dollar which is in a basically. the leading reserve currency in the world so by that fact alone which has greater latitude. greece reese doesn't have the currency of his own yes i know you're is a. little but where does the buck stop that america surely can't keep lifting this sailing on and on and on and spending and printing more money that was going to stop at some point. absolutely i mean nobody is saying it's going to well i'm not i'm saying that. of course is the time to do it i mean there have to tackle this problem but you asked me a question where you expect the same kind of. trauma and protests on the street in america is what is going on now in greece and dance a little short answer to that is small press corps because the us is not greece fluorite their car there is would love for example so much of being on the program

lead economists that global financial integrity told us live there from washington so little of the good news. now debt deficit possibly an imminent default join us in ten minutes when pay lavelle's on the air in this guess as well looking into the u.s. financial crisis in the latest edition of crosstalk let's get across the business before the dimitris here. blows uniform welcome to business our team minority shareholders are. preparing a lawsuit they're mounting five to ten billion dollars in damages of a big peace partner with the not expiration they've won a russian court ruling obliging the parties involved to submit documents on the preparation of the deal within two weeks this will allow shareholders see the value of the damages he and rawson have to fail to strike the deal this spring as the shareholders claimed the peace russian joint venture should be the primary vehicle

for exploration in the arctic. stock markets were taking a breathing pause they welcomed president obama's news of progress on raising america's debt ceiling he's meeting with congressional leaders to discuss a new debt cutting plan under turner if it could point the way out of the impasse. there's still a long way to go in terms of the the two positions coming together however we haven't but we've got limited time for that to happen i mean yes it is good news that we've got a bipartisan gang of six with both republicans and democrats within it coming up this proposal we know that almost fifty senators listen to the proposal in detail yesterday for an hour and we know that so far none of the key players have banished it out of you know how they're completely said no this is not the deal so it is looking optimistic but i just think you know this is this is cool should with the optimism. let's take a look at how the russian markets and the wednesday session both markets and of the

session in the black though they didn't lose some of the steam by the end of the day most new ships were on the my sex castro matter just point two percent mark world was told that in frost telecom was posting very strong gains on speculation it would be completely selling its assets to private investors the state however would still hold these are rights and poly metals slipped deep into the red after several days of gains as called was edging lower michael stein from a pretty bank wraps up today straight. to the russian equity market is up for the second be in a row helped by the very strong start treaty with the u.s. running season and also helped by the increase in oil prices to within just two percent of a six week highs on the domestic front we saw some very healthy economic data unemployment in russia dropped to a six point one percent in the month of june from a six point four percent in may we also saw retail sales accelerate to up five

point six percent during the month of june and we also saw the reversal in disposable income which was down in me is up in june coming up next on our team the headlines to stay with us. culture is that so much excitement which of course is kind of complicated and to

get along is the deadline for the u.s. to increase its debt ceiling looms would appear to be more about politics and upcoming elections than fixing a crippling. the nature and discovery species. the bee communicate with the wild and let them. test yourself and become free. see what nature can give you. the submission disciplinary punishment. education. the worst suit the penitentiary system transform a criminal into a law abiding citizen and. resumes life behind bars on r.g.p. wealthy british scientists. sometimes the title. of
