is ten am in the russian capital you're watching r t a private security firm formally known as black water is on trial in the u.s. and 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 farm which is now called zebra vides more mercenaries for the u.s. in afghanistan than anyone else and has been employed hated in a number of scandals in two thousand and seven hired guns were accused of shooting dad seventeen unarmed civilians in baghdad despite a lengthy legal process no one was punished over the alleged massacre the company is now set to take an even bigger role in afghanistan as u.s. withdraws its combat troops and as artie's gone it's become reports there is concern washington keep covering for its hired killers. this iraqi man son

nine year old allie khilnani was shot dead by private american war contractors four years ago as a brain fell to ground between my feet on the same day dozens of other innocent iraqis were shot right trigger happy u.s. professional killers shot like they were trying to kill everyone they can see no one at 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 rethinking on rights violations including porcher rape and murder the us supreme court recently threw out a lawsuit alleging abuse of prisoners by the contractors. in afghanistan it's reported that human rights violations and even feelings are committed by security firms on a regular basis to an extent set to undermine called lieschen forces counterinsurgency efforts they'll start firing at anything that moves in general

kill innocent afghans they'll 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 effectiveness especially now as u.s. military forces withdraw from iraq and afghanistan the number of contractors is said to grow dramatically u.s. . sources many military and security functions to these security companies they are not regulated in that they are not control and this is what we are extremely concerned that what we call in is for relation to the national and international level so that. companies are accountable but washington is reluctant to lead an international body regulate pair

of committees saying it will find ways to hold contractors accountable but so far the u.s. justice system has largely failed to do so we're seeing around the world cases of kidnapping rape murder. and we see very very only very rare cases in which there's actually a criminal investigation or prosecution or so you have a problem but. 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 uniformed forces to do the professional fighting and then thousands and thousands of time tractors 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 took on accountable contractors and of course that's what senator obama said before he became president but apparently as a president now he thinks differently with the contractors war in america's wars bound to increase and with the victims of their crime still begging for justice i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team. this is actually coming to live from moscow coming up in the program differences on missile defense but it's washington's ignoring its concerns and trying to place a bodyguard in its bedroom stay with us to find out what that means. after a fifty eight years of formally being out war were reported and why north and south korea still haven't signed a peace deal addict who's benefiting from tension along the thirty eighth parallel . norway's police have released the first list of names of those killed by anders behring breivik and friday's mass killings british lawyer says he's client

is probably insane and unaware that he killed as many as seventy six people the gunman who has admitted his guilt claims he is not alone in a mission to turn back the tide of immigration in europe as lore and it has been finding out mary warren of a new wave of brevik style terror. and ethnic hatred that led to the slaughter of scores of innocent young people anders breivik the massacre to which he freely admits was a justified strike against the political left for supporting open borders and multiculturalism and even though the staunchest of hardliners condemn brave picks her respect actions anti immigration sentiment is growing across europe other groups express their condolences and then are quick and separate themselves from are also quick to lay blame left wing politicians which they say or are responsible

because they allowed immigration happen and effectively pushed the scribe to the edge it's a cry that many feel is not being heard by european governments as people show their discontent voting increasingly for previously marginal anti immigration parties arms joining street movements like the anti islamic english defense league . will have groups who are satisfied in the real have 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 there's no way i talk to bring this topic into the center of the attention again and they will force . officials as well as public to focus on these issues again 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 islamic platform nationalists the true finns

redrew 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 its previously open borders with germany and. there's grassroots support for prefixed to disturbingly depicted on the internet by some extremists as a hero three thousand people voted for his video manifesto one you cheap and his group knights templar became a popular search topic on google i'm quite concerned that there are a lot of individuals. writing in this manifesto will resonate with. i'm very concerned that you will see other people copycatting these types of attacks in the coming months or coming 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 they just didn't franchise cities becoming a breeding ground for bright. lit the fuse and those brave it claims to be involved with the english defense league which pledges to protect england from what it calls a wave of the case said the e.t.l. denies the day but political analysts are saying if the attacks in norway don't prompt an honest appraisal of the issues surrounding immigration that could frustrate the european public and create more space potentially violent far right groups to expanded all over europe you are at a forty london. no reason terrorism and its consequences are the heart of the debate in the latest crosstalk and we. argue over the chances of a repeat of the else we're. i don't believe that this sort of thing is

going to happen again but i underline threat that if we're not listened to you going to see more terrorist attacks 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 and see slimy and. 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 acts of islam so they banned the minaret it banned the wearing of all of these things i don't even think in the u.k. it's not that bad at the moment they go he says it's good so you now when you impinge on people's human rights and what are you talking about a liberal democracy.

of all heated debate is coming your way in an hour's time here on r.t. the e.u. and the us have let international condemnation of cause it was decision to send special forces to seize crossings on its share of border with serbia nato led peacekeepers have been deployed to the area to help control the situation which is stoking ethnic tensions one police officer was killed after coming under fire from local serbs mounting a roadblock near a lot of the disputed crossings possible says it's trying to enforce a ban on sort of the imports in response to a similar boycott because of our goods around sixty thousand serbs live in the north and don't recognize cost of the parents which is you know literally a player in two thousand and eight politics expert market gusev says possible to not have to go have holes its puppet masters in washington. you should bear in mind that the. union leaders could have done nothing without the

ok from the us administration and we know that the us has got a massive investment in kosovo it's got the biggest military base in the world in cambone still smack bang in the heart of course of all and so everything that. gets up there is also raised by washington in the first place having said that the poverty and overall peoples of albanians as well as serbians is so huge that they're suffering already under this combined washington regime which is brought to nothing but poverty and pain and really has done nothing for the region bring organ harvesting and plain apology to everybody in this region so that kosovo is a failed state a fake state of the state and experiments and this kind of expansionism of failure . was expressed need of a leadership produced for the world should not be encouraged by the world we should all oppose this we know who can stop it and it is time that the us administration stopped its extremist puppets in prishtina from even further expanding into.

north korea's top diplomat is in the united states as part of a tamms to restart negotiations of the country's disputed nuclear program is due to meet with american officials on thursday and has said he remains optimistic that ties with the u.s. will improve the visit comes just days after a nuclear and 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 there they agreed to renew the six party talks over pyongyang's atomic ambitions as soon as possible it broke down after north korea's deadly shelling of an island belonging to the south and water claimed was in response to provoke of military drills the u.s. says north korea must dismantle its nuclear facilities before any deal can be reached huli from the campaigns and the korean war told r.t. that the u.s. is interested in keeping up tension on the peninsula. the u.s. military needs justification to 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 our korea as an axis of evil country and union who provides that kind of justification the u.s. has been trying to strengthen its alliances for south korea and japan increasingly terry exercises in the region building missiles that defense systems and in exchange inexplicably linking these are three hundred eleven systems with. but the reality is north korea does not provide a threat to south korea or the u.s. and the reality also is that the u.s. and south korea are facing an economic crisis where their tax dollars can be better spent on rebuilding their domestic economies and provocative working that have already cost us lives and really going into the 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 said that it's

a willing to give them up in exchange for a guarantee that the u.s. will not attack it north korea has been very consistent it has said that everything is on the table as long as the u.s. is here but it has to be a process of mutual this argument 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 a north korean regime is a good start. on the way here in r t seeing the rude for the trees for the fees but only for example the lawyer is in russia who are using wildfires as a smokescreen for leaving a profit all the details but a few minutes. rushes and void to nato says he's disappointed after talks with u.s. senators in washington thinks the 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 of a common missile defense system in europe why the american side insist on creating its own shoe which it claims is to combat missile attacks from so-called rogue states russia feels a project that compromises national security something the u.s. as dismissed be regarded told r.t. that washington's actions are violating moscow's personal space. there are questions that remain unanswered if mess and 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 let me ask for legal guarantees the for 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 that conflict but we're not interested in that what's important for us is that the u.s. is behind this project and they should provide security for all partners russia is very flexible if there are some fabricated political reasons they rejected our

suggestion to integrate our means of anti missile defense then there's another scheme they could be cooperation between two independent system 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 has been sent to provide your security but who's going to like that so if all our suggestions are rejected and it's understood that iran is just a reason to have a 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 but i think it was a. now take a look at some other stories from around the world the mayor of afghanistan our city has killed by a suicide bomb attack in the town center it's the latest in a string of assassinations targeting top officials two weeks ago president hamid karzai is have a brother who ran the entire kind of hard province was gunned down one of karzai is

. those who say that money doesn't grow on trees have obviously never been to russia illegal logging is thriving all across the country as people learn how to profit from natural disasters or he's a convoy reports. fire has long had a reputation of the bad mustard 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 smokescreen for illegal logging the 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 them all the authorized in the area set ablaze to cover their crime nobody can determine how much logging was sanctioned and how much was actually cut. fires hurricanes flooding come what may illegal loggers are using all sorts of natural disasters to cover their tracks

. these woods new st petersburg found the path of a major twister last year there through thousands of hectares of mature forest many more were chopped afterwards by swindlers like these ones who managed to secure a permit for the hurricane cleanup of them. got a permit that allows them to take away three truckloads of debris a job that could be done in a few days but there permit is valid for three weeks i'm sure you can easily just arrest. a c. money doesn't grow on trees but russia which possesses about one fifth of the world's forests resources because the old was there all the government can turn the illegal logging in concert with just a few percent of all timber production environmental activists say the skill of the problem is much greater. we believe that twenty to twenty five percent of all logging in russia is carried out illegally the figure is higher than

a decade ago and it's still rising on a par with the amazon rain forest the vast siberian greenery is often referred to as belongs of the planet a close examination though it seeds are the lover that plane. most of the illegal siberian kimber goes to china and while the locals already see the impact of deforestation on their own lives these see their only other option would be far worse. you know it's illegal what you're doing. and know it's illegal but there are no other jobs here. that the government officials who are to turn to for can and see the state is doing everything it can to combat illegal logging new legislation has just come into force the number of tourists rangers will be increased in the meantime the chiefs are still calling where they may according to experts if the state's an ability to see the wood for the trees that is one of the

main reasons why illegal logging in russia is so widespread and why it is so prone to any sort of punitive action while the federal authorities may can down the practice all they want the current economic and regulatory environment ultimately makes one baffling chopping of truth bomb a look and easy to carry out then doing it the legal way for r.t. . and while earthbound environmentalist battle to keep russian trees says' our team talks to the american astronaut who inspired the movement to protect the earth. we were there to prove not just to ourselves and the american people but proved to the whole world that america was a second rate when certainly the soviets now the russians with their sputnik and guard care and the missile gap were making america look really bad well i'm proud to have been lucky enough to take the picture that maybe define.

the start of the environmental but i think a lot of people think we're the center of the universe or it's clear that that's not true and i think the earth rise picture has helped people start thinking in a more expansive way. watch the full interview a few minutes here in our to right after our headlines before that would take a log to add the business news with marine. hello and welcome to business here on ars here now we start this hour with oil russia may be rich but doesn't show at the petrol pumps motorists are having so concerned with rising prices and in some cases shortages the problems have been put down to higher duty and intervention in the market and it's got to the stage the government is considering allowing low grade class to petrol back on the market but

for refiners in russia have been reluctant to convert to the higher class three standards but the russian gas lng in says there are ways to make it happen. but you know if you do pretty well there are a few stimuli being implemented at the moment it's currently actually very high the level of quality the loser juji the difference isn't big people around three hundred to four hundred roubles a good example for now there is talk of increasing this difference to two thousand to three thousand roubles plus good for those who have already invested in a production which will prevent further stimulus for free development. let's take a look at the markets now well as mix the sour light sweet is down thirteen cents and rice has climbed are fourteen cents prices remain under pressure as a result of washington wrangling over the u.s. that seems like let's take a look at what's happening with the asian markets they are next this hour washington's that problems are backing investor confidence there as well and

running on export focused companies. and here in russia will be artsy asked open flat now point zero one percent and my stocks will start trading shortly. also like what else have started the week struggling to find direction i like ask us about these to be capital says the market looks to be answering a sell more long period but it still looks like we're going to hook hold the eight hundred thousand reach for a year or two years which is roughly where we touched briefly at the beginning of the week going into the next few weeks i think with that sort of pace is going to continue and mark is just going to hold its breath until some positive signals are received from europe or of us moving further on beyond summer we do expect the russian market to go higher and reach new heights very here obviously with the
