also figures and media and police calls as they scandal intensifies its impact threatens careers across the board next than ati's laurie reports on how the case continues to or not just rupert murdoch but also the u.k.'s prime minister david cameron as well. some major pains in the news hacking scandal may be warbling but at the moment they're still standing despite pull off the ball threatening to smash them out of the game in the frame but if someone was famously said i'm enjoying this. british prime minister david cameron. this is a humble. thank you the murdoch's chiefs of global news empire news corp also implicated the police accused of bribe taking but where will the next strike come in the phone hacking scandal and who will end up the biggest turkey. there's been a large amount of fingers or mare's and just a kind of heads in the sand and that is lethal for

a prime minister and he's now in a real fight in a real really bad situation he could well be looking at some serious consequences very bizarre at the very least those stars still around him fancy a flutter on the much of the century betting shops have slashed the odds on cameron being the first m.p. to fall over hacking. and we've seen cameron over the last few weeks fall from one hundred to want to be the next cabinet member to leave to forty one years and he just slightly crept up again to five to one today as a result of his statements in the house where we thought he gave quite a good performance the murdoch's may have dodged bullets coming from every direction from m.p.'s but it was someone not even in the game who hit the eighty year old kingpin right in the face with a phone despite profuse apologies to victims of his own newspaper's unethical behavior he had no intention of stepping down.

what's less clear is whether david cameron remains the best person to lead britain out of this crisis of confidence it's cameron's arch rival ed miliband. if he's got the skittle shaking and he's eyeing up a spare that will see the whole lot come crashing to the ground so that the country can have the leadership we need why why doesn't he do more why doesn't he do more than give a half apology and provide the full apology now for hiring mr cool and bringing him into the heart of downing street. commentators say to pin spotted machine has placed the prime minister on a firmer footing following wednesday's game in the house of commons but the match is still far from won you know. he is damaged before he was he was beginning to develop the. camera because none of that sort of damage

that was in the government actually stopped him the scandals forced resignation school grounds top executives at news corp the u.k.'s two most senior police officers many are asking if the prime minister will be next to find himself lying face down in the gully david cameron's promised a full some apology if it turns out and he calls and was lying to him about his involvement in phone hacking but some say that won't be enough when this is over we're a long way from that it's far from clear who can survive the frame still to come and remain standing at the top of the media the police and the government. nor ever its r.t.e. london. good shot will the. communications director of the american n.g.o.s free press he told me he thinks we've only seen the tip of the iceberg of the crisis so

far. there's been a very cozy relationship between media and government throughout western democracies it's no less true in the united states than it is in the u.k. . and what we've what we've seen is is sort of a laying bare of that relationship in a way that that everybody suspected but now we now we can see that it's the. that our suspicions are proven true the only surprise would be if there weren't more surprises and there is suspicion that something similar or to a lesser or greater extent has been happening in the united states if in fact it is found that the allegations that news corp properties were looking for looking to hack the telephones of nine eleven family victims or victims' families that is going to be a storm the likes of which you've never seen in the us. with me kevin now in grave concern. and i raised this directly in press press conferences with

a journalist of the rixos i'm also was what silence it's allegations by the rebels in libya committed atrocities against civilians and pro get off the troops we look at whether the uncomfortable truth is being swept under the carpet. just imagine this piece is about four and a half billion years old like the earth space rocks but is it passion for a cosmic collecting or just pursuit of profit we explore what lies behind the meteoroid fever that's spreading in central russia. as expected progress in his bid to join the e.u. for the rest of war crime suspect got him how they should that have been a key hurdle on the road to membership that still needed clearing how did may be extradited to the hague assume the saturday sara for port from the serbian capital well great. whilst the government is very much to the west the public opinion actually does this quite significantly now the last time i was in belgrade at the

end of last year i spoke to the deputy prime minister hen i asked him why there's still such a government drive to this membership and he said that they really see this as a chance the serbian people to have a normal life well the people here in serbia only have to look at what's happening right now in greece in spain in italy to see that quite clearly even membership is not going to be the answer to all our country's problems now add to that that they're also a very disillusioned with the government's policies and the way that they've handled this whole partnership and dealings with the e.u. they feel the serbia is being made to jump through hoops and that was the feeling all these demands that are put on them by the this thing gets very little in return . and what it usually gets it had nothing whatsoever. got many many more hoops to jump over before you can get anywhere close to member ship the e.u.

has always linked serbia's membership with the full cooperation with the hague and we've already heard from president parrish that he feels that they have felt their moral and legal obligations to the hague so it's going to be very interesting not see with this latest arrest of had it whether or not the e.u. is going to fall not just with words but with actions that it seems that with the arrest serbia really has called brussels bluff and brussels is not going to fulfill promises it gave you wish list won't end with the arrest of gordon heard it says stephen covergirl overages spoke to reuse from the struggle and it's a historical project. the list of demands will grow president there which is truly people who waltz. one by one you know who. serbia free it to the european you who are here because.

we. are going to be closer or serbia's economy. going for the human so why it's made so far over and over brought him. all show that about sixty percent of the serbs are opposed to. the e.u. many have relatives abroad and are getting the picture things are all there and. we saw it. in there all indications will not be successful we can see or so even look at those skillful propagandists so but there. is a committee that's the population. of the mutual who will play catering for all four of them something more serious to get any way. out of interest in the story and on our website r o t four of. plenty discussed of course online and in catch up with all stories in our time from here as well be a delivery with

a difference in the law instead we got a story about a zoo owner who's pledged to spend five weeks with his family of pig cats inside said ok childfree will become the lunch she is set to become their midwife more about that on line. fashions in fashion right now and some papers book does the glamorous contest and put another very highest most glamorous heels for one hundred meter sprint not the do it in how do they get all money can see online off they go of their. comics well. more seriously now grave has been discovered in libya with what's said to be the bodies of five pro good taffy troops that's according to a. porton a british newspaper which claims rebel forces could be behind the killings that use follows a recent report by human rights group human rights groups that rebels are involved in looting arson and abuse of civilians chandan an independent journalist and spokesman for the british civilians for peace in libya movement he says he believes

the crimes committed by the rebels are swept under the carpet to support nato's cause in the region. i think really fundamentally there's been a problem the way nato the nato nations and their media have related to these so-called rebels i mean these rebels have been conducting mass lynchings of black people throughout the first several weeks and months of this crisis and i raised this directly in press press conferences and the answer was what silence it was uncovered in the media before because this does not fit the narrative since the nine hundred ninety nine nato aggression against yugoslavia which was we are conducting these wars not for geopolitical control and domination of mineral wealth but for humanitarian reasons so how can it fit the narrative of these rebels which nato and the nato countries are supporting lynching black people or conducting all the atrocities they accuse in the gadhafi side of conducting but actually the rebels are conducting these things so it doesn't fit the narrative. let's take

a look at some of the main news headlines now tonight the u.s. will announce it will send aid to famine hit somalia but only if we showed that deliveries will be ended as they pass through islamist militant controlled areas the un has declared a state of famine in somalia where nearly four million people are going to starvation a devastating because the crisis it's said to be the worst hit the region in decades it's estimated the stricken country needs over one and a half billion u.s. dollars. for elderly kenyans have been given legal permission by a judge in london to sue the british government over alleged atrocities committed during colonial times though the claimants allege they were systematically abused in special camps set up to crush the rebellion against british rule the foreign office says however it should not be held responsible now for the actions of the colonial administration. atlantis is due back to earth for its very last landing after almost a fortnight in orbit so the touchdown then brings to an end thirty years of the

american space shuttle program atlantis is the last shuttle to be retired and it's to be put on display at the kennedy space center and the future missions by u.s. astronauts to the international space station will rely entirely on help from brush . sometimes you have to dig deep to reach for the stars they say that at least anyway is the case in central russia a region where. spread in recent years art exam the boy jumped at the chance to catch falling star. they don't believe in aliens so the time machine but they do spend most of their time looking for extraterrestrial matter that will take them billions of years back in time most meteorite hunters in russia do it for profit but some still see it as their way of heat hiking through the galaxy. this is the oldest matter you can hold in your hands there is a theory that meteorites are part of planets core just imagine this piece is about four and a half billion years old like the earth this valley about three hundred kilometers

you. after the last special representative of the french president on corporation on russian and french business relations thank you very much for being with us today

so you come to russia every fifteen days what is your primary mission now poignant heure golf you my first mission given by presidents are cozy in line with president medvedev is to report and scope out the establishment of your russian economic zone and the second part of this mission is to strengthen economic cooperation in all possible areas between our countries. now you have responsibility also developing that trade between french france and russia which sectors of the russian economy do you think are most attractive for business leaders in france. today for france it is of course raw materials in trade we have gas oil is essential but there is much more. alstom is doing with trans march holding building locomotives for export across the world look at what's on offer use doing. pharmaceutical area we cooperate in many new technological areas and today these areas are multiplying because we are in the heart of russia's modernization plan

and french companies can offer quality technology and so for us going to be interest are many not only raw materials which remain essential including a nuclear sector in which we can cooperate more deeply. well it talking about. the good sides of the modernization and present inventive has criticised the investment climate in russia do you see improvement the poor guy calls he obvious that he i see huge progress myself i've been working with russia for many years and i believe we are wrong when seeking to teach lessons to russia today russia is twenty and the progress to date has been huge and president medvedev invited me to putin have done huge work we see it the changes are profound to put it simply on our side we are not always very aware of that firstly you need to read russian which is not common and secondly you need to come more often to russia so we also need to open our minds there is still much to do however your leaders the president

and your prime minister say it at the st petersburg forum the roadmap was clarified or that the investment climate is much better today look at the business flow between us the big french groups are present for example vinci who are doing the motorway link between moscow and st petersburg today we are developing cooperation on power generation on the sides of the st petersburg summit we signed with e.d.f. to equip and i would say to provide electricity to the city of tomsk we build parts for a.d.'s for airbus in the records can siberia so there are multiple areas of cooperation the cooperation between france and russia does work. but i still want to ask you if someone like you doesn't come to russia every fifteen days just the business community in general outside of russia do they still have the old stereotypes of russia has all his views. speak with the presidents of big french groups present in russia they are very happy to be here and they want to develop their business those who are not here yet often house of

a priore and we have i have to say is in western europe not only in france a problem with our media who do not know russia well and russia should communicate more also there are old stereotypes of the progress achieved is not reflected in media. why why is. pretty traders very biased in the west russian media. i think their image of russia is based on the past from fifteen or twenty years ago they do not come to russia often and often does russia communicate actually quite little to us on what internal changes are taking place we have to deal with outdated ideas and perceptions which are wrong and this i believe is an important subject this is a blocking point we often speak about big groups or think about the new or a small and medium sized companies in russia and in france many are already cooperate on what we could do much more in this area. how will the french business that you bring to russia help diversify the economy. today you are in the middle of

a modernization drive in russia beat in transport water or electricity distribution in aeronautics in health at the laboratories level in high tech and by the way you have school which is a big success many companies e.d.s. alterman students and off but also american german and many others are present so we can help our technology transfers in many areas but also this you will be going to north caucasus to actually evaluate its potential investment in north caucasus does the alpine tourism expertize figure in your approach we look what happened he yes and i believe that russia took a very good decision which is the want to try to stabilize and ensure better security in this area through economic development and both presidents president medvedev and president sarkozy in deauville on the sides of the g. . we did joint declaration on this yes with. russia chose parents as a main supplier not exclusive but main to try to establish ski resorts and develop

the area coastline but this is a huge project led by mr billow president of north caucasus resorts were taking a visit with me snowboarding and i believe that the best on tours development will prove to have been the right one to create jobs give people hope and as well you increase security which also comes through economic development we are going to take part in this in danger of security this is the first time you will because north caucasus we yes for me this will be my first time in the north caucuses and i am very excited to have the chance to discover which is wonderful i have seen photos the french team accompanying me already knows that area is a wonderful place and i think you can develop a tourist up in the center of europe which will be very attractive to the whole world but how long do you think it actually could turn to tourism paradise because right now it's not the safest place to be or for tourism tourists to go i mean of course and expand your for you know the french have experience we

developed in croatia remember turkey at the very beginning when we were developing tourism in turkey the area was not safe. and the conviction of your government on your president to say that we're going to develop this area to create jobs for the young of course to ensure security the government provides guarantees for up to seventy percent of investment but it's still taking a chance it's the right decision to develop this area so that is what needs to be done. and i thank you very much for this interview. thank you. wealthy british style. markets why not scandals find out what's really happening to the global economy
