to eat is by whites the whites came brutality and oppression you cannot murder you way out of trouble and when you try to do that which he has been trying to do over the fall past four and a half months there's no turning back is he offering free and fair elections or the kind of rigged contests which he has organized to date it's very clear that he himself and his blood thirsty left hands are international criminals and they should be dealt with assumption and let's not also lose sight of the fact that while he's offering allegedly a political reform he's also quietly demonstrations still universe every bloody man it's very clean it's a fit. regime but the difficulties that hasn't fallen. dmitri medvedev has told syria's president assad he needs to carry out reforms and talk to the opposition russian leader believes of both sides can find common ground a sad future awaits the syrian people. in all of cities throughout success really

unfortunately the situation in syria has taken into much to and we real politicians should follow developments gadhafi libya gave violent is to destroy the opposition the syrian president gave no such who does unfortunately a lot of people are dying in syria this is our biggest concern in my private conversation with the president and in the private letters i've sent him i discussed the same ideas reforms need to be carried out so he should establish peace with the opposition establish peace in the country create a multi-state if he fails to do that in a sense future awaits him and at the end of the day will have to make a decision we watching the situation is changing good lines onto. the lot of russia's president gave that interview to our tea and other russian media on the eve of the third anniversary of the i said he and more speaking about those events in the caucasus dimitri medvedev said georgian president mikheil saakashvili should face an international court for starting the war in two thousand and eight you can

watch the president's interview in the fall on r.t.l. six am g.m.t. friday a little. bit aggressive war that threw a tiny nation into the global spotlight. three years after georgia attack south deception. could anything have stopped the bloodshed. did russia have any choice but to step in. president medvedev gives r.t. the straight answers. palestinian women are joining the ranks of would be suicide bombers those who carried out atrocities had said before their deaths they were waging war against israeli occupiers and seeking vengeance but one woman who was captured before she could detonate her device now tells a very different story artie's policy or has more. this thirty seven year old

palestinian mother doesn't attract much attention when she walks down the street but she's walked a long and difficult path from would be suicide bomber to peace maker it wasn't so long ago that she felt could see was planning to strap explosives to her body and blow herself up in an israeli supermarket i'm advocating for the bar i called fire and told them i needed all the equipment but they just laughed and said you're joking i said if you don't give it to me and how much will they said think about it for a month and then they called me a month later and said ok everything is ready for you. it was the second intifada or palestinian uprising and already two of she first teenage cousins had been killed by israeli soldiers while her brother was serving eighteen years in prison for his part in a suicide mission well i am a mother and i love my live but i wanted to do it because the israelis destroyed a receipt is i wanted to destroy their arrogance female suicide bombing is relatively new in the palestinian world wafa idris

a twenty eight year old divorced paramedic from ramallah became the first woman to blow herself up in jerusalem in two thousand and two ten more women have since followed in a footsteps one of them is the. commentator there's always side in. restaurant she saw her fiance being killed in front of her eyes so she was really pushed to their. point that she want to talk to and her life experts agree that the reasons that drive a woman to become a suicide bomber are complex there's anger and bitterness towards the israeli occupation forces there's also the patriarchal nature of palestinian society according to and not to bercow who's written several books on the subject here woman suspected of sleeping with a man before marriage can be thrown out or even killed by their families numerous it doesn't have to be true but in such areas society that can kill this is the way to get rid of women and to lead them so they have

a problem with their dignity and honor and without humiliate their families but the irony is that while these women are held by some as martyrs many religious leaders are reluctant to send their daughters to the front line as bombers and although islam condemn suicide explain shaikh mohammed it's acceptable when fighting colonise ation and occupation if there are some groups or governments. will come to our territories that we are aware are we have to do to fight against these invasions sheaffer says her reasons were both political and personal she was fed up with the bombs falling around her and ashamed that after just two years of marriage her husband had run off with another woman life had simply become too much the plan was simple she thought was going to tame to be pregnant and hide this if we hours of explosives and get me a maternity dress she was going to come here to natanya and israeli town not far

from a home and blew herself out among israelis suicide bombing of the kind of attack that doesn't between. all we there is no excuse absolutely no excuse at all but her plan was foiled by a palestinian informer who tipped off the israeli army schieffer was sentenced and spent six years behind bars now back in. she says she would great sit and devotes her time to telling her story to both the israelis and palestinians in the hope that both sides can come to understand the other of the lies you know how the years later my daughter asked me who i was going to leave her with and i said with grandma i didn't understand at the time how much she and my parents would have suffered i understand and now i know that blowing myself up wouldn't have changed anything the only way to peace is for israelis and palestinians to work together. a strong message from a rather surprising source policia r.t.

to comment. a french court has ordered an investigation into whether the new international monetary fund chief christine legarde has abused her power when she was france's finance minister she's being investigated for her intervention in two thousand and eight a commercial battle between a french tycoon and a former state owned bank and the approval of a payment of around three hundred million euros to a businessman the guard denies any misconduct she took over from dominic strauss kahn at the i.m.f. last month after he stepped down being charged with attempting to rape of a hotel worker in new york here go lane a professor of political science at paris west university says that the investigation is unlikely to affect the guard's job because of her political links . the debate about this case was going on in prisons before she was actually wanted before she replaced ross can she was appointed in spite of the pending court case the french president who is very close to this former minister of finance in

france wanted to find somebody to speak to represent crowds and he's also involved in this and this case you know the reimbursement of public funds to typing a business tycoon who is one of his friends but i think they both the investigation would not go very far because the investigation i suppose would be stymied in a case the french president is involved and he cannot be prosecuted in a court of law so you know if there was a case and it's not even sure some aspects of the case could not be discussed as long as sarkozy is the president of france so from this angle i don't think it's you know stopping her from doing a job at the i.m.f. from a democratic point of view it's rather disheartening to see that somebody who is under investigation or could be and invest investigation was appointed for such a high level job. there and out of some other stories making headlines across the globe the three top nuclear officials have been sacked in japan after they over

out here in the debt of the amours tiger if you look hard enough you can still find evidence of the traditional hunter gatherer lifestyle we were fortunate enough to cross these two families that have been living out here for about a month now and today they're loading up their reindeer to move themselves on to another part of the. fast there are fewer and fewer places for them to go and the elders say they know who should like to move for the way in which we are dying around and it's all because of the gold miners the barbarians they're destroying the tiger which now can't even provide us with enough food they've destroyed our home taken everything from us and offered nothing in return. whether a blessing or a qassam moore is a region abundant in natural resources and with gold currently trading at nor time high the pressure to produce is greater than ever and few places more so than here

. russia's third largest gold miner founded in one thousand nine hundred four the joint russian british venture says it will increase production this year by thirty three percent to some seventeen tons so here we can see the very beginnings of the gold extraction places several small holes are drilled which are then filled with explosives and then blasted and approximately thirty to forty thousand tons a wrong will be been broken up with each plant. it's a process that generates huge amounts of waste mining at this operation all with a grade of three grams for each ton of gold of. a tell all is a million grams so i took that one million grams. three of the particles of gold and we have to recover those three it's the proverbial needle in

if it wasn't a russian to hello and thank you very much for being here you became had of the central bank when russia began pursuing its shock therapy policy following advice from american experts how would you advise your american colleagues nawa the situation they are facing. to live within your means that's all that's just what they told us back then with no idea at all about our economic and social situation at the time that was in one thousand nine hundred two when we began well parts of the government began to listen to their advice after russia

joined the i.m.f. that year later they wrote and the famous stiglitz a nobel laureate and former economic advisor to clinton was among them that they were doing everything wrong what they were telling us was all wrong. if we think about the ability to live within one's means who's better at that russia back than or today's usa. you see the u.s.s.r. was living on credit of course but it was solvent and other states were eager to give credit even the us though the latter wasn't doing it directly but through european affiliates they all knew after all that the soviet economy was under control and that the country would pay its debts sooner or later even without high oil prices that's why they were eager to give credit to the u.s.s.r. especially to finance the purchase of high tech goods to be supplied to the soviet market it has been easy for the us to take credit because of the entire system that's been built up since one thousand nine hundred five when the i.m.f.

was being set up there was a he said dispute between the u.k. and the us of course the british had to back off because their economy had been greatly damaged by the war that later led to the devaluation of the pound some years after the war in fact all of europe was living off the marshall plan back then and that consisted mostly of agricultural commodities along with some industrial plants and factories that had depleted their technological potential ones that the us didn't need anymore this in part was the reason for the america's technological leap over more recent years though with production capacities growing rapidly in the third world the share of production in america's g.d.p. has been shrinking that's how america began to live on credit and living on credit is always difficult as a time may come sooner or later when debts will have to be paid off right now nobody wants to remember that it was in the early nineties when bush and the republicans came to power that the us external state debt obtained by issuing

treasury bonds with different terms anything from one week to twenty years and the interest rates grew massively right now it has been increased still further so generally it all happened under the republican rule my question is then why all the hubbub now it's just political games nothing more. and what happens within that country. they reach a compromise to cut their expenses. this has no explicit connection to the situation within their country on the other hand the dollar exchange rate including cash immediately drops on the world markets and the exchange rate for securities traded around the world drops as well in spite of the fact they are issued by u.s. companies so they incur bookkeeping losses at the very least and perhaps even real financial losses to a large extent the debt was formed under the bush presidency the war in iraq and their role in the afghanistan conflict required huge military expenses and in

effect the whole world including our country has been funding those military costs their budget deficit and their balance of payments deficit and number of economists called the actions of the us financially irresponsible do you agree or is it rather a kind of game for the sake of their own interests from the viewpoint of economic theory there is a certain irresponsibility larouche a famous american economist of perhaps french or canadian origin about ten years ago said that the us economy considering its domestic and foreign economic policy is bound to face a crash like the roman empire. ratings full economic players central banks will obviously change the structure of their reserves kemas dumping of the u.s. treasury happen and what implications can we expect to read you what else is there for them our chinese colleagues in spite of their trade surplus with the u.s. and their own willingness to revalue their currency still keep most of their phones

in dollars even though they use them actively to penetrate the development of african and asian economies to develop their infrastructure and so on. there's nowhere to go the world is a stablished in a uni polar way you can't just get out of a marriage especially when you have kids. thank you very much. neal up. loose. it's tsk.
