boy have more on that and business and so on some of it. now in the russian capital you're watching r t with mirroring the joshing a private security firm formerly known as blackwater is on trial in the u.s. not over allegations that it killed innocent civilians in iraq four years ago but because two x. employees claim the company overcharged washington for protecting state department staff in war zones the firm which is now called xe provides more mercenaries for the u.s. in afghanistan than anyone else and has been implicated in a number of scandals in two thousand and seven as hired guns were used of shooting dad seventeen armed civilians in baghdad despite a lengthy legal process no one was punished or worthy alleged massacre the company is now set to take an even bigger role in afghanistan as the u.s. withdraws its. combat troops as our team is going to take our records there's

concern washington can keep covering for its hired killers. this iraqi man son nine year old allie k'naan he was shot dead by private american war contractors four years ago as a crane fell to the ground between life on the same day dozens of other innocent iraqis were shot by trigger happy u.s. professional killers they shot like they were trying to kill everyone you can see no one of blackwater the firm for whom the hired guns work has been punished for the massacre two other private american security companies were contracted to carry out interrogations at the notorious abu ghraib prison in iraq a name synonymous now with her rethink human rights violations including. room court recently threw out a lawsuit alleging abuse of prisoners by the contractors. in afghanistan it's reported human rights violations and even killings are committed by security

firms on a regular basis point extent set to undermine call the horses counterinsurgency efforts will start firing at anything that moves in general kill innocent afghans destroy property we're getting fairly consistent complaints about them everybody knows somebody who's been shot by the contractors. the lack of accountability has forced the united nations working group on mercenaries to push for specific international measures to regulate their activities especially now as u.s. military forces withdraw from iraq and afghanistan the number of contractors is set to grow dramatically and with. so many. functions to these. companies they are not related in that they are not controlled and this is what we're extremely concerned that what we are calling is for

revelation at the national and international level so the. companies are culpable but washington is reluctant to lead an international body regulate their activities saying it will find ways to hold contractors accountable but so far the u.s. justice system has largely failed to do so for seeing around the world cases of kidnapping rape murder. and we see very very only very rare cases in which case actually a criminal investigation or prosecution or sing out of. what experts say further privatization of war is convenient for the american government because among other reasons it doesn't have to justify the deaths of troops at home the president whoever the president may be can get us involved in conflicts only using uniform forces to do the for fish or fighting and then falcons and thousands of

contractors to do the unofficial fighting that's under the radar screen that isn't covered by the media now here's a quote we cannot win a fight for hearts and minds when we outsource critical missions to on accountable contractors end of quote that's what senator obama said before he became president but apparently as a president now he thinks differently where the contractors role in america's wars down to increase and with the victims of their crime still begging for justice and time to check our reporting from washington r.t. . coming out differences on missile defense shield washington supporting its concerns and trying to place a bodyguard's bedroom stay with us to find out what that means. and will report on the visit of north korea's nuclear envoy visit to the united states for an exploratory meeting deceive the sides are ready to get back to the negotiating table. norway's police have released the first list of names of those killed

by unders behring breivik in friday's mass killings critics lawyer says his client is probably insane and i where he kill as many as seventy six people the gunmen who has admitted his guilt claims he is not alone in a mission to turn back the tide of immigration and europe as laura has been finding out many warn of a new wave of british style terror. and ethnic hatred that led to the snow of schools of innocent young people and does a pretty big the massacre to which he freely admits was justified strike against the political left for supporting open borders and multiculturalism and even though the store just of hardliners condemned for a fixed horrific actions of a gratian sentiment is growing across europe and other groups express their condolences and then are quick and separate themselves from britain again are also quick to lay blame left wing politicians which they say or are responsible because

they allowed immigration to happen and effectively pushed the scar to the edge it's a cry but many feel is not being heard by european governments as people show their discontent to an increasingly for previously marginal anti immigration policies arms joining street movements like the empty islamic english defense league. the forces will have groups who are satisfied in the real hope of other groups who see that the governments are not doing enough. they are not discussing the issues enough. in this going forward in the future i think this nor their attacks will bring this topic into the center of the ground and they will force. officials as the leak to focus on these issues are going to move towards nationalism is pound european as well as the b.n.p. making gains in the u.k. holland's controversial good builders now leads the country's third largest

political party running on an anti islam platform nationalists the truth in the political landscape this year when they won nearly twenty percent of the vote but danish people's party has also embraced anti immigration policies successfully lobbying for denmark to close it previously open borders with germany and sweden there's grassroots support for prefix to disturbingly depicted on the internet by some extremists as a hero three thousand people voted for his video manifesto on you tube and his group knights templar became a popular search topic on google i'm quite concerned that there are a lot of individuals. privates writing in this manifesto will resonate with. i'm very concerned that you will see other people particularly these types of attacks in the coming months or years politicians including germany's angela merkel

and britain's david cameron have already said multiculturalism has failed now the leaders of western europe have to stop their disenfranchised cities becoming a breeding ground for bright logs who lit the fuse and those brave it claims to being involved with the english defense league which is to protect england from what it calls a wave of islamic the case said the a.d.l. denies but political analysts are saying if it's hacks. no way don't project an honest appraisal of the it's used around to get it great said that could frustrate the european public and create more space for potentially violent far right groups to expanded all over europe. are to be done to it. now we didn't terrorism and its consequences are at the heart of the debate in the latest cross dark in which people of our guest argue over the chances of a repeat of the atrocities elsewhere. i don't believe that this sort of thing is

going to happen again but underlying threat that if we're not listen to you're going to see more terrorist acts i just think i believe it's a load of rubbish we're not going to see this kind of thing happen in england we're not going to see it happening across europe and we all hope there are no more terrorism but it's very very naive to think that this was a one off and it's not like it's a happened if you look at the right wing. rhetoric in europe it is far higher than the u.k. for sure we have countries in the u.k. countries in europe who are banning certain obvious slant so they banned the minaret they've banned the wearing of all of these things i have only recently he is not there at the moment they go he says it's good so you've now we knew impinge on people's human rights then what are you talking about a liberal democracy. if you.

a civilized fashion and to include in their courage and independence and know this show us the new mission is there to see working here in dependence contrary to international want to use the rules so obviously it is a message we are still making and it is a mess that the europeans and nato. basically made need to fix. more news latest updates and fresh videos go to our website r t v dot com here's what we had for you online today the events leading up to the polish president's plane crash continue to unravel as investigators in poland now also admit pilot error was probably to blame claim they previously denied. there's no get out of jail free card born so she'd have convicted oil tycoon real hard costly prison officials claim does not deserve her early release. and watch our g.'s exclusive interview with legendary mean guitarist crime a word he discusses his passion for music and science and gives his views on the

mystery of life the universe and everything. north korea's top diplomat is in the united states as part of its hands to restart negotiations on the country's disputed nuclear program he's due to meet with american officials on thursday and has said he remains optimistic that ties was the u.s. will improve the visit comes just days after a nuclear end was from north and south korea sat together for the first time in over two years on the sidelines of a security summit in indonesia they are they agreed to renew six party talks over pyongyang's atomic visions as soon as possible because she asians broke down after north korea's gathered shelling of an in an island belonging to the south in want to claim it was a response to provocative military drills the u.s. says north korea must dismantle its nuclear facilities before any deal can be

reached here leave from the campaign to end the korean war it's older the u.s. is interested in tension on the peninsula. the u.s. military needs justifications that maintain its troops in the northeast asia region so they can pursue its real interest which is to contain china's expansion of power in the region and also to continue to sell its weapons and demonizing north korea as an axis of evil country and union who provides that kind of just. the us has been trying to strengthen its alliances for stuff they had apparently increasing military exercises in the region building missiles that prevent systems and inextricable inextricably linked gains are three hundred parents and systems words . but the reality is north korea does not provide a threat to south korea or the u.s. and the reality are so is that the u.s. and south korea are facing an economic crisis where their tax dollars can you better spend on rebuilding their domestic economy than provocative war games that

have already cost us lives and limbs last year there is one thing that distinguishes north korea from other nuclear weapon states in the world and that is that it is the only country that has there that it's a willing to give them up in exchange for a guarantee that the u.s. will not attack it and north korea has been very consistent it has said that everything is on the table as long as the u.s. is in syria but it has to be a process mutual disarmament you can't realistically expect north korea to simply give up its only deterrence capability unless the u.s. is also willing to take steps and an end to its provocative working that simulate the collapse of the north korean regime is a good start. on the way here on r t see the wood for the trees for the thieves but only for dairy illegal loggers and russia who are using wildfires as a smoke screen or reaping frother of details from its.

brushes and boyd to nato says he is disappointed after talks with us out of years in washington gazan things republican lawmakers he met are committed to seeing moscow as a rival not a partner his visit as part of fresh efforts by russia to revive talks on a common missile defense system in europe the american side insist on creating its own shield which it claims is to combat missile attacks from so-called grobe states russia feels a project of compromises national security something the u.s. has dismissed which are a gazan told r.t. that washington's actions are violating moscow's personal space. but if you there are questions that remain unanswered if missile threats against europe come from the south why is the us placing part of its military infrastructure in the north close to russia's borders this is the question that we can't get an answer to when we ask for legal guarantees that the system is not aimed at russia we're told there's a big conflict between republicans and democrats in congress and they start to

explain the object but we're not interested in that what's important for us is that the u.s. is behind these projects and they should provide security for all partners russia is very flexible if for some fabricated political reasons they rejected our suggestion to integrate our means of anti missile defense and there's another saying they could be cooperation between two independent systems if nato wants to defend itself that's no problem but if russia wants to provide its own security so be it otherwise it's like when you come home and discover somebody else's bodyguard sitting in your bedroom he's been sent to provide your security who's going to like that so if our suggestions are rejected and it's understood that iran is just a reason to have to plan russia's nuclear potential is the real target then russia will come up with its own military response which nobody is going to like. and i'll take a look at some other stories from around the world spanish after this apparent out

of the grave to show their anger over the economic crisis are setting off on a long march to brussels protesters started together two months ago all across spain holding meetings and collecting from friends in every city now they are here to march over fifteen hundred kilometers to express their distress the heart of europe belgium spain currently has the highest unemployment rate in the e.u. it's over twenty percent. levy has worn a u.n. envoy that no peace talks will be considered until nato starts airstrikes a government spokesman also insisted that weiner put out his leadership is non-negotiable earlier this week the u.n. envoy held talks with the rebel council in the. ghazi or he also made little progress towards a peace deal then going civil war in the us started four months ago and has taken the lives of over two thousand people. egypt's official news agency says former president hosni mubarak is weak and refusing solid food hospital officials say is suffering depression and weight loss caused by not eating enough to sustain his

health but mark is supposed to stand trial in a week or fuse of ordering the killing of protesters and corruption over eight hundred forty people died during the popular uprising which forced will bar from office in february. a massive fire has got a plastics factory in california the burning plastic produced a large plume of thick black smoke which was visible for miles of factory makes plastic bins used for harvesting grapes and other agricultural products sorties are investigating the cause and monitoring the air for its existence for those who say that money doesn't grow on trees obviously never been to russia illegal logging is thriving all across the country as people learn how to profit from natural disasters or jesus on board the reports. fire has long had a reputation of a bad master but in russia these days it's increasingly being used as a good servant but flames terrorizing the country's poorest every summer some

unscrupulous entrepreneurs have come to use it as a small screen for illegal logging problem reached such proportions that even the government has realized the chips are down. in some regions considered at risk of heavy forest fires illegal logging is thriving they cut through oist in the areas sense of place to cover their crime nobody can determine how much logging was sanctioned and how much was actually cut the. fires hurricanes flooding come what may illegal loggers are using all sorts of natural disasters to cover their tracks . these woods new st peters were found a path of the nature last year it through thousands of have tours of mature forest and many more were chopped afterwards by swindlers like these ones who managed to secure a permit for the hurricane cleanup a bomb. got a permit that allows them to take weeks to be truckloads of debris

a job that could be done in a few days but their permit is valid for three weeks i'm sure you can easily guess the rest. they see money doesn't grow on trees but russia which possesses about one fifth of the world's poorest resources it buys the old with them while the government contends that the illegal logging cons with just a few percent of all timber production environment are activists say this deal of the problem is much greater if you. believe the twenty to twenty five percent of all logging in russia is carried out illegally if it is higher than a decade ago and it's still rising on a par with the amazon rain forest bass a beer in green a result been referred to as the lungs of the planet at close examination though you see it's hard to lower the place most of the illegal segueing timber goes to china and while the locals already see the impact of deforestation on their own lives they see their only other option would be far worse. you know it's

illegal what you're doing. and no it's illegal but there are no other jobs here for . the government officials. or to turn to for common it is these doing everything it can to combat illegal logging new legislation has just come into force the number of forest rangers will be increased in the meantime the keeps and i still thought where they may according to experts if they'd seen the bill it's hard to see the wood for the trees that is one of the main reasons why illegal logging in russia is so widespread and why are they so prone to any sort of punitive action while the federal authorities may condemn the practice all they want a current economic and regulatory environment ultimately makes one daft thing chopping of trees one will look right there and easy to carry out then doing it bill legal way a kind of artsy. i while ours bound environment was bad to keep russian trees

save art he talks of the american astronaut has inspired the movement to protect the errors watch the full interview later this hour here's a short preview. well i'm proud to have been lucky enough to take a picture that maybe define. the start of the environmental i mean the bigger star. it really and has influence well beyond my imagination a lot of people not only is the earth fragile and beautiful but it's very small and so though we have still i think a lot of people think we're the center of the universe it's clear that that's not true i think the earth rise picture has helped people start thinking in a more expansive way. and offer a business update with marina.

hello and welcome to business here on r.t.l. this hour we'll start with oil russia maybe richard doesn't show i have the petrol pumps motorists are having to contend with rising prices and some cases shortages the problems have been put down to higher duty and intervention in the markets and it's got to the stage the government is considering allowing a low grade class to petrol back on the market actual refiners in russia have been reluctant to convert to the higher class three standards but the russian gasoline union says there are ways to make it happen. but you think. there are a few stimuli being implemented at the moment currently buried behind a little while to lower the g.g. the difference is in the big around three hundred to four hundred roubles according to the us now there is talk of increasing this difference to two thousand to three thousand roubles plus. those who have already invested in upgrading their

production which will give them through the stimulus for further development. well let's take a look at the markets now or oil has slipped into the right after earlier gains prices remain under pressure as a result of washington wrangling over the u.s. debt ceiling. and the asian markets are trading in the red seems that problems are factoring investor confidence there as well anyway and on the export focused companies. or here in russia the markets will start trading in less than an hour now they closed the mix on tuesday with the r.t.s. pointing slightly our words and the my sex in the red among the last like of stocks words which john to its highest in more than a week and trends nafta which had the highest close in more than three months and i was after a what's its first quarter that more than double. russian equities have started the week struggling to find direction

a look at it to be capital says the market looks to be answering a lot of period. but it still looks like we're going to hold eight hundred thousand range for the r.t.s. which is roughly where we touched briefly at the beginning of the week going into the next few weeks i think we're sort of pace is going to continue and markets just do not hold its breath until some positive signals are received from europe already has moving further on the on summer we do expect there are markets to go higher and as for the year obviously with the continued strength in the oil prices metals and other commodities finally being translated into the price of russian stocks. may place your bones on the foreign markets and twenty twelve that's the finance minister sergei stuff chuck says russia plans to boost bahrain's significantly over the next three years with
