to the home of the that's the great way to go to the grand imperial truly the torch was the. new kind of letter to the socialist good to see don't need to go and. read this in the kernel was hotel retreat. dropped stock and apparel europe's shares a slide in trading. on wall street retreat amid a gloomy u.s. outlook and deepening a eurozone. president medvedev urges syria's leader to start talks and reforms with the opposition or expect a sad future that's as protesters reject the offer of change from president assad who's ramped up attacks on their stronghold also this hour. a lot a little bit of the place you live find some way you do appreciate the little hardline of muslims in britain to make efforts to pin sin by trying to put london under strict sharia law. and enter the dragon rushers are more regions arms are

open to the neighborhood china in close up here how they're going far beyond. just after three pm on friday here a moscow you with ought see on the recent shine it's been a rocky few hours on the global stock markets with europe's exchanges dipping again echoing some worrying drops in asia and america stockholders fear the worst after the prospect was raised of a sharp slowdown in the u.s. economy as well as the eurozone that weighing on their minds and there's no friday feeling for spain or italy i think seeing a boring costs shoot up again he's done a bushel is following the trade session and breasts. stations because.

more than eight percent on the news that it took over a billion dollar loss related to greek problems and of course many european banks have exposure to greece and the problems there so they are suffering their shares the suffering at the moment as well we saw a fall and then a slight correction and now again the may just thought markets germany france and britain in europe are suffering and the lloyds bank saw from the beeb a greater loss fourth quarter two related irish debts of the successive days of falls all the major bourses are again suffering greece neulander worrying you know it but what investors even more concerned about italy's current crisis talks with the e.u. italy's economy is the number three in the euro zone off to germany and france much bigger than portugal greece and ireland put together and the news the economic figures from there or even worth a look the height of the global economic crisis in two thousand and eight in fact in the whole history of the euro investors are also pulling out of spain in record

numbers and if those two join countries fall we are really in trouble when the world's biggest lenders bank has slashed his exposure to italian that as well as to other struggling countries like greece ireland and portugal and that really shows that investors the markets own confidence in the claims by those countries that they can tackle the problems party trying to push the reporting that well i mean time that market gary who is a hong kong based business consultant he said it's a transatlantic turmoil is forcing investors to head for safe havens in developing markets such as china. we've seen you know china is looking at about nine percent growth this year india eight percent and don't forget indonesia is about six point five percent. that's about forty five percent of the world's population these populations that have been have been growing their economic wealth has been growing

so they're now significant spenders on retail themselves we've seen tremendous growth in the property markets particularly in china we've seen china's car market now become the world's largest car market and i think major companies are looking to growth in asia pacific and they're diverting their attention to these markets i think if you look at just the announcements that were made yesterday like by h.s.b.c. they're cutting back in europe but they're adding they're adding about five thousand people in asia pacific. or asian markets over a joint friday's freefall but bangkok based economist said daniel says that the region's economy will easily withstand america and that europe's turmoil. concern that we have now is that we have to see growth rates in asia come down a bit further from where we had been expecting and if you remember in the global financial crisis previously

a lot of banks in asia got very cautious so they themselves decided to limit their lending and that's likely what we will face again and compared to the global financial crisis you may remember actually asian economies and banks didn't get that hard hit so again the situation today is is not that worrisome compared to the last two crises in asia for china remember in the past they were able to continue to grow their infrastructure program and banks were providing credit for that so china probably is still one of those countries where you'll still see acceptable growth remember they've been trying to manage down their growth to about eight percent and maybe we'll get there now but what you should see is china doing less in the way of tightening measures if the global economy is much weaker. all right well our business desk is are keeping a close eye on developments right there for us so what can you give us the latest on the markets markets here joined the panic across the international trading floor

was that the two major indices are down over two percent at the moment after having plunged over three percent early in the day now we have to bear in mind that russia had a fantastic run in the last week and my six is coming from its highs mainly because oil bashes export fell to a five month low exports also warned that american unemployment figures to be announced today could prompt further losses here and on the global markets all right we'll be seeing you in about fifteen minutes time thanks for that. president of your debt is a warning a serious leader that he must enter dialogue with protesters in order to end with the ongoing violence discussion of the conflict came up during an interview with r.t. and other media on the eve of the third anniversary of the south setting of war he was a some of what you'll hear throughout the day here are not so. unfortunately the situation in syria has taken a dramatic turn we real politicians should follow developments like gadhafi gave

violent orders to destroy the opposition the syrian president gave no such orders unfortunately a lot of people are dying in syria this is our biggest concern and my private conversation with the president of syria and in the private letters i sent him i discussed the same ideas reforms need to be carried out you should establish peace with the opposition establish peace in the country and create a modern state if you fails to do that in a sound future awaits you and at the end of the day we'll have to make a decision we're watching the situation it is changing our guidelines are two. and the syrian opposition dismissed a decree from president assad proposing a multi party government system saying the violence has to end before dialogue begins assad's gesture came after the un security council condemned of the regime's crackdowns on peaceful protesters meanwhile syria's military has reportedly been attacking the opposition stronghold of hama activists say dozens of died there in

the last twenty four hours adding to over one hundred killed since the weekend france says it may seek further action from the security council if the killing continues but arab lawyer. says such threats pretty. effectively it is it is not going you know just station itself it's how it's going to be implemented and the restrictions it's included in there there are quite a lot of restrictions which makes it probably very difficult to implement and i think the pressure international pressure on syria is producing some results what is lacking is the action of the syrian side they have to make the changes that require. blessedly start killing people remove some of the leadership. on the part decide on the government and on the military and i think the threats. the u.s. and france and and britain. trying to syria is very counterproductive russia's

position i think it's a moral one in the sense that if you are a friend you actually give an honest advice to your friend you don't just agree with them and you don't threaten them it is not acceptable what's happening you have to have a dialogue but they are resisting falling into the same trap which we have formed before with the iraq when there will be security council said they will not invade iraq will begin basing there in libya or you're going to have a no fly zone and it turned out to be into a wall and invasion of libya. meantime the islamic leadership tension of a very different kind in britain with hardline muslims trying to enforce sharia law in london from abstention to amputation floor and it's been hearing how they want to instill that tough code on the capital. so we are here to tell you that islam. is unstoppable in europe stoning for adultery cutting off hands for stealing death for renouncing islam this group of men is trying to enforce shari'a law in the u.k.

they started a campaign to make certain areas of london and other cities islamic law controlled zones starting with walthamstow east london muslims will become our good of being evil because of these numbers and try to to the muslim of an almost community also looking to believe that was intended together trade according to the sharia is all the problems. but even police themselves to a large extent healthy one day java summit governments would have apology locally security locally and you provide welfare locally choudhry and his friends are fly posting parts of london with large muslim populations they want to ban drinking gambling and playing music and they say they've got bands of young men ready to patrol and in full shari'a law by any means now that enforcement will not initially be in on the level of infighting and have been verbally but if someone has a capability of unease with the centuries of evil like pornography situation it

should do so. by backing off course i believe that the need a mosque should be run out of the area these muslims say british society is broken rippled with drugs crime and prostitution because of that they firmly believe members of the communities they're targeting will welcome sharia law but the word of the street about the campaign tells a different story comes down so if you don't like the laws of the place you live for and so my way to appreciate the laws and and all of these things are completely legal in this country this is not indira pakistan this is england because our own laws people have no rights can here bring their laws in here we often have trouble but councillor martin isa. griese say this could destroy community cohesion we've. taken down houses assumes that put up because we do not want these posters round up . and they have no place to move and for us this isn't equality campaigners

say the issue real supporters shouldn't be considered a religious movement because of called right political organization with the police to campaign designed to divide and conquer communities the danger lies in dividing people dividing communities creating mistrust and particularly among from non muslims towards moderate muslims i think this is part of their aim is to create mistrust so they can then turn to moderate muslims and say look everyone hates you we are friend turn to us and it's a very very dangerous thing and it's a political tactic to increase their own power undeterred by opposition challenge free and his group plan what they see is the beginning of an islamic emirate not just of the u.k. but all over europe police have mobilized to take these cases down as fast as they appear but choudhry and his group say they formed bands of vigilante enforcers to make sure syria is here to believe all physically and in other parts of london

women have already been harassed for not covering their heads if these muslims ever get their way i won't be able to dress like this on the street still holds them stay or many other parts of london brussels rome and paris. r.t. wealth and story love. more on what some european leaders describe as the failure of multiculturalism can be found online and out so you got some of the other news on our website waiting for you today from a would be suicide bomber to peace campaigner. in woman whose wife changed terrorism for your passion tells her story to us at r.t. dot com. i'm fishing out a submarine untouched for decades. it's the soviet stuff that's been lurking at the bottom of the.

potential valuable materials in the seabed off the indian ocean so this of course for many opportunities for other countries who are interested in developed development of such resources particularly for russia there's the the arctic the arctic sixty russia is very interested in possible development of a will and gas resource there in fact russia has for quite some time has been trying to prove that the long and also a bridge in the arctic sea is in fact a continuation of russia's continental shelf and if they do prove that that in fact is the case of other countries agree with russia that that means russia will get to develop the possible incredibly rich oil and gas resources in that field of course russia has to compete with other countries who are also going for the for the peace of the arctic lie in those countries of course are canada the united states denmark norway and interestingly enough china. are going to be right there with all it's

hello and welcome to our business portentous our thanks for joining me global financial markets are witnessing the worst selloff since the middle of october two thousand age who was boosted by news from europe the region sovereign debt problem is in coughing two of its largest economies spain and italy and poor u.s. economic data that showed slowly growth after a no ready sluggish pace in the first half to help make parsons from national stray bank says it's a time when cash is king. the silly not going into gold that's not been the experience of the last twenty four hours we what we've seen is a lot of a lot of very very large losses have been racked up many markets were down five percent overnight now when you've got losses of the scale you've got so you've got to finance them what we've seen here is investors are still selling the good bits of their fought for you in order to finance the losses in the bad when they're

faced with margin calls and so on so i think that the the whole investment universe is shrinking here and the the safest place to go is cash if you do nothing it will make you nothing but actually the guy who lost nothing yesterday we came out top of the pile nothing is not a bad thing to have right now. now our global indices they're retreating from e t x capital group says russian markets are likely to be pressed to see an upswing. russia has had a fantastic run look at the most it's not a great run of the last few weeks or so you slowly start to come off but it's coming more from the holidays and with the increased amount of exposure to us that we do with a high amount of exposure to the oil and gas more years of fuel there is near downside fuel for russian it would cease to be hard but when the recovery comes it will come at some point in the russian market does seem very well positioned to benefit quite significantly from its. now let's have a look at the market that we start with gold and we see it edging up adding

eighteen dollars per ounce while sewers adding fifty nine cents that's up to concerns over the u.s. and eurozone economies have sent investors running for a safe haven precious metals are providing right now all prices are making a comeback like sweet is likely down trading at eighty four dollars per barrel while brant is gaining think is sixty cents the stock now asian markets nosedive on friday tracking the losses on wall street japan's nikkei finished three point seven percent in the red its lowest since the post earthquake plunge in march energy companies and financial firms were among the worst performers with firm impacts shedding over seven percent minus i've also been hard hit hong kong's hang seng and it's over four percent in the red with exporters among the main losers now let's cross over to europe or not it's there are on the downside as well extending a global sell off all sectors are trading deep in the red with banks in the west before was the world bank of scotland group is now losing eight percent had

a plunged as much as twenty one percent rally in the day that's up to the banks swung to a second quarter loss and markets in russia joined the panic across international trading floors the r.t.s. is down we have to send them isaacs is to have sent all over now let's have a look at some individual workers on the y. six energy majors among the worst performers on the ore price is gazprom is losing nearly four percent rossley had fell to its low. since december after oil plunged in new york that's all speculation that fuel demand will force or financial stocks are also under pressure and telecommunication company ross telecom one of the worst miners six percent correct the stock. markets are in turmoil and the u.s. has managed to save off a potentially crippling default but many countries are considering reducing their large dollar reserves into other less risky currencies however saying you die over at burbank argues there are. details in switzerland i have

a lot of reserves in the years dollar but this basically means there's not much difference between. the strength of the american dollar and because since right is backed by those grades and we are all kind of in the same breweries and there is not that many alternatives. to in the long run we will see some. grow and actually euro is the group substitute for the dollar it will see repeating that it's rather than that of separate countries that's all for now join us in forty five minutes for more financial news here. so.
