if i can do it like a child ward but i will try i suffer to this day because of what happened then i am convinced however that the decision to retaliate and the recognition of the breakaway republics as subjects to international law with the right decisions to make i believe my actions were constitutional not only am i unashamed of what i have done i believe my decisions well nor for thought out unnecessary things i said thank you very much mr president. british. find out what's really happening to the global economy.

headlines. and. in my private conversation with the president to discuss the same ideas. to be carried if he fails to do. president syria's president. continues and more protests are expected.

international. in moscow just nine pm here in the russian capital good to have you with us this hour. back then but remain unstable off to the shop is full since two thousand and eight. of the global recession amid the slowing u.s. economy and debt crisis. following the markets from brussels. the euro virus is spreading to new countries france and belgium all next day yields have hit record highs against germany's the u.k.'s financial services authority has also british banks to reveal how much debt they hold in belgium on fears that that country could be next italy and spain have entered crisis talks with the e.u. as they yield critical new highs so now you have investors pulling else of france

italy and spain. and just eurozone economies and that is why the investors in the markets are panicking the moment the leaders of france spain and germany are holding an emergency teleconference to try and stop the open relative to coming out the top you have prime minister silvio berlusconi and his finance minister openly disagreeing on this solutions to the crisis and the e.u. president jose manuel barroso slammed on discipline communication by e.u. leaders for making the crisis worse and germany is furious at such an open attack this time when it's already critical as in europe we've seen america really suffering and raising the debt ceiling doesn't tackle the key problem which is making the problem worse given the more debt and their economy is weak because they know the your the u.s. have really started to tackle that key issue yesterday was the wall street worst

day in years there was steep slumps in the share price and there are now fears that america will go back into recession which would strongly hit not just america but the whole world economy and the u.s. and europe politicians keep trying to reassure the public that everything is ok but it seems who are really making decisions they're the ones that are pulling their money out of these markets and they're saying that they don't they don't like the situation at the moment at all. you bushell there economist analyst michael ross has told me earlier that the market panic we've witnessed was triggered by politicians who are not dealing properly with debt. i tell you one thing this is not a normal crisis and this was not the normal crash that we had this week. it was the beginning of the end what is the illness that has three got all these problems the illness is called dead all western nations over debt they lose their credibility

and what happens when they lose their credibility then banks are going bankrupt and i tell you another thing only in a short time all banks all of the most important banks worldwide in the western world will be taken over by government by the government and another thing it's not the discussion about the euro and the debts in europe as this is of course a problematic issue it was the discussion about the debt ceiling in united states that you get of this mess everybody knows also my grandmother but the problem the united states is not solved when they. put up the debt ceiling we are in very very big problems and i don't cannot see any solution or dog take experts to call it. a problem all the only cure there you know is to produce more debt but the debt is already. the issue of this crisis is already of the cause of this crisis so how can you solve this crisis with more debts so i don't see any solution michael ross

their business desk is of course keeping us up to date on the developments dimitri has his eye on the markets particularly after the release of the u.s. unemployment report dimitri how are they responding now well the u.s. unemployment report is a very important of course factor in today's trade there was initially a very positive reaction plus one point two percent on the dow right now after plunging almost one and a half percent actually more than one percent it's recovered plus one percent the dow jones the u.s. markets are recovering after one of the biggest one day drops this is because the unemployment data report came in much better than expected around seventy five to. five thousand jobs were expected to be created in july when actually payrolls one hundred seventy thousand jobs were added in the month of july so this is of course at least a breathing pores where we're going to go. i'm going to find out i'm going to tell you in around fifteen minutes in our business all right see you later dimitri

thanks very much indeed. british intelligence services have allegedly been violating international law for almost a decade a leaked top secret documents suggest agents were involved in the torture of prisoners held overseas the policy was reportedly first implemented in two thousand and two in afghanistan let's discuss this with charles she's policy advisor for the international in london tara thanks very much indeed for joining us here on our to you know your organization along with other human rights groups has refused to take part in this inquiry into the u.k.'s alleged role in torture why is that. the international and nine other human rights organizations have written to the inquiry telling them that in our view the inquiry that's been set up is fundamentally flawed and as a result will be unable to attend any further meetings or submit evidence to the inquiry and there are a few key reasons why is unable to do its job properly on the first of these as the

rather shocking level of secrecy that surrounds the inquiry and much of the inquiry is going to take place behind closed doors and no information will be released to the public without the say so of the government which is very worrying for an inquiry they're supposed to be you know getting information to the public about about what's been going on and the second reason is. the involvement of the people who are who are victims of the sort of u.s. led global renditions program and who allege that the u.k. government were involved in their torture and unlawful detention now these these individuals don't have any particular status in the. proceedings apart from. as any other witness or as members of the public now this coupled with the secrecy means that they won't themselves likely see the documents which outline the policies and the advice that was in place which led to their torture and detention. the third

key reason is that the inquiry has very few powers it has no powers to compel any evidence or to compel any witnesses. and that's going to be very very difficult for it. to get the truth of what happened without those powers can you give us some of the strain of what we're talking about here cording to the information you have to what extent has the u.k. government the secret service has been involved in torture. over these you know. there's a mounting pile of credible evidence that the u.k. was involved in other serious human rights abuses you know we've seen cases coming through the court such as that of mohammed where security service officials were sending question for saving information dissipating interrogations in situations where they either knew or ought to have known that he was being tortured or otherwise mistreated it's also come to light that u.k. territory david garcia was used to rendition flights and they say you know every

week or every month there's a new piece of evidence. talked about earlier which led to the policies that were in place you know as yet another document that's been hidden for a very long time that's just been released that shows that there was you know perhaps circumstances in which. you know ministers were very senior officials authorized agents to participate in situations where it was more likely than not the torture would occur. of recent atrocities many people would argue with you know if information is extracted by legal means actually help prevent atrocities like for example the number metro bombings how else. you get information from somewhere and some body can prevent civilians and atrocities occurring. i mean i think. apart from the concern about involvement and torture our security services here in the u.k. do a very good job using other lawful means to prevent terrorist attacks and keep us

safe and what we need to make sure is that what they do doesn't cross the line and they're not participating in torture and other things that are you know violate human rights law and international law when they do that just briefly how much could this damage britain's reputation. and then the other organizations very much welcomed the inquiry when it was first announced when these allegations of been going on for a really long time and then we saw a full public inquiry was the best way to really get to the bottom of what happened and the inquiry needed to be needed to have public access to those documents in a real open airing of what happened that would be the best way to ensure future confidence in our security services you know we very much hope that they will see that there will still be an inquiry which is open and thorough and transparent and that the government will reconsider. the very problematic protocol that's been put

in place and i think if there is a full open inquiry and lessons are learned from that then the u.k. can restore its reputation in the world by then making sure that those in the future learn the lessons of the past thanks very much indeed for joining us live in our two u.k. policy advisor for amnesty international joining us there in the. thank you very much. this is all to you live here in moscow still ahead this hour. a group of. opening a new front of multicultural tension in. russian and chinese culture. few minutes away from. president syria's leader bashar al assad to kick start reforms and end the violence

in his country before it's too late to be giving an extensive interview to. a radio and georgian t.v. channel peak here's a preview for you the full version of that interview is coming up in about twenty minutes from. unfortunately the situation in syria has taken a dramatic turn we real politicians should follow developments 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 in my private conversation with the president of syria and in the private letters i sent him i discussed the same ideals drivelling of them need to be carried out you should establish your position established months in the country but that will create a multi-state if he fails to do that then a sad future awaits and at the end of the day we'll have to make a decision we are watching the situation it is changing our guidelines are to.

meanwhile anti-government protests continue across syria despite an ongoing crackdown by the military reports suggest at least ten more protesters have been killed as the assault on the city of hama continues this is the opposition dismissed a decree from president assad proposing a multi-party government system saying the violence has to end before donald begins the international pressure is growing on the syrian leadership to stop the violence but the u.s. saying it's working to find new ways to try and influence the situation beyond sanctions. there is islamic leadership tension of a very different kind in britain at the moment with hardline muslims trying to enforce sharia law in london from absent taishan to abstention i should say to amputation artes nor emmett's been hearing how they want to instill their 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

of renouncing islam this group of men is trying to enforce shari'a law in the u.k. they've started a campaign to make certain areas of london and other cities islamic law controlled zones starting with both of. those on the islam as an alternative to the muslim of an all muslim community also looking we believe the muslims kind of together trade according to the sharia was all their problems. and even police themselves to a large extent hopefully one day to have a summit governments will have authority locally security locally and you provide well for local childfree 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. by any means now that enforcement will not initially be in on the level of inviting and for the

what if someone has the capability to be with an essentially something like pornography prostitution issue do so. by that you mean i think of course i believe that i need a mosque should be run out of the area these muslims say british society is riddled with drugs crime and prostitution because of that they firmly believe members of the communities that targeting will welcome sharia law but the word of the street about the campaign tells a different story comes down to if you don't like the laws of the place you live find some. things a completely legal in this country this is not india or pakistan this is our own laws people have a right to commute bring their laws in here we often have a cost i think trouble but councillor martin. this could destroy community cohesion we've. taken down the posters assumes that put up because we do not want

these posters around i do not represent. and they have no place to move from for us citizen equality campaigners say the shari'a supporters shouldn't be considered a religious movement as a far right political organization with a place to campaign designed to divide and conquer communities their danger lies in dividing people dividing communities and 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 to wear your 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 chaldron and his group plan what they see is the beginning of an islamic emirate not just of the all over europe police have mobilized to take these posters down as fast as they appear but choudhry and his group say they formed bands of vigilante enforcers

to make sure syria is to 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 streets of them stay or many other parts of london brussels rome and paris and it's r.t. well from stone london. unrest has broken out in central kiev after ukrainian judge ordered the arrest of former prime minister yulia tymoshenko in contempt of court she's been on trial since june of a misuse of power while signing gas deals with russia back in two thousand and nine . more now from the ukrainian capital. the country's ukraine's former prime minister placed on the arrest before that she was simply forbid him to leave the country now the trial will continue with her being in the detention center behind

bars now indeed the atmosphere in and outside the court building here in central kiev has been completely electrifying over the past month or so the supporters of you to a cycle several hundred of them have been gathering here voicing their protest against what they describe as a politicized case and indeed today the scenes were pretty much reminding of all to familiar scenes from ukraine's parliament several years back fighting accusations all this has been of the picture of today from inside the courtroom from inside the court building indeed one of the former prime minister was taking out of the court building and was put into the armored vehicle which was to transport her to a detention center the supporters of some of them included included the deputies of the parliament attacked the bus and tried to block its way but clearly the policeman make sure that the bus normally. as we understand is now delivered to the detention center but it certainly is

a great fall from grace for the woman who was once considered to be one of the most influential politicians in the world just eighteen months ago you had so much and it was ukraine's prime minister now she can find she can easily become the country's most high profile convict back in the times when she was at power in the ukraine government as the prime minister had two spells in fact as prime minister ever since the two thousand and five orange revolution those were the times of political chaos. political fighting between her and the president and the gas deals with russia which is now she's being accused of striking illegally happened in those times certainly those were the turbulent times now with a new power here in ukraine the power itself seems to be the power structure seems to be more or less stable but clearly this new power led by president of the party of regions made it clear that. is a criminal and they believe she is she is to blame for huge loss of money from the

ukrainian budget that is hundreds of billions of dollars and that is why this case is happening right now. and the. reporting live from ukraine to one of russia's remote corners where integration with china knows no boundaries. today where in the far east in a mere region it's a remote but rich area holding russia's largest gold reserves russia's most economic well post a move is making the most of its proximity to china. but found out. a very warm welcome to this edition of russia place this week coming to you from the amour region situated in the very full this reaches of russia's far respect thousands of kilometers away from you in moscow but i mean like minutes by boat

from china and all surprisingly the influence of china and its culture is everywhere here. high heels and a hard hat it's not a look many women can pull off but then lily white on arrests or if she prefers to be called in russia is no ordinary woman having first arrived in a more house an interpreter in the early ninety's she and her family worked their way up from running a small cafe churning this large construction company. and spread across the region's capital blagoveshchensk no fewer than four large chinese restaurants full most nights and serving up the taste of the orient to russian dinah's it's an impressive pool failure and one that the mother of two says she couldn't built in china you have to use the good of said i saw an opportunity to create something here russia needs skilled laborers and with china being so close and easy our business to chinese goods and equipment and already want for someone

new mr is just one of a growing band the successful chinese entrepreneurs operating in russia's far east where a river is all that separates the two countries easy proximity coupled with favorable visa regulations continues to inspire thousands of chinese workers people like sunshine to flock across the border every year his is a tried and tested business model selling cheap chinese clays. so whether it's a pair of a trendy train is that your raft or perhaps the most designed a fungal thing if this is where the people of blagoveshchensk head to pick up a bargain were instantly the chinese market which then the sense of town and of course everything and. bez the label made in china and all the sellers also come from china and let me tell you it's absolutely packed in fights here and the party is like this every single day so clearly business is booming. i've

been here for three years and i left china as they want not jobs things are going well. you can get things really cheap here which is great if you've got a large family the quality varies hugely but on balance i think we're lucky to have chinese traders here russian goods just can't compete on pricing. and by hopping on one of the many packed ferries that cross the river every day russian consumers can enjoy an even more authentic chinese shopping experience on the edge of the slight slavic flavor thank you for a bargain and in the process help to fuel the chinese economy it's led some to fear that russia's far east is being exploited by its entrepreneurial neighbor. worthless a pessimist revel in self-pity at the sight of china forging ahead. think of ways to develop like a vision of the same pace using chinese expertise capital and labor because i believe our region is hugely fortunate to go to china if we compare our city to

others in russia we're much better off in almost every respect i was told of extensive plans for more joint ventures and grace integration between the two countries as far as government is concerned it's a relationship. you're standing here on the a more coastline it's a mere five minutes by boat across to china so close you always feel that you can reach out and touch it and people living here say that they've been witness to the phenomenal pace the developments along. representative of the growth of the chinese economy as a whole and its influence hair in russia bit. region. a recap of our top stories for me with you in just a few minutes from no in the meantime let's cross over to dmitri for the latest business. thanks bill hello you want your business out secrets of your company the u.s.

markets are seesawing even after a positive jobs report payrolls in the u.s. rose by one hundred seventeen thousand workers after a meek of forty six thousand increase in june the strong expected report sparked a rebound but it's a so far been very volatile peter weston from out on capital believes what we've been seeing is a relief rally and logical downturn. i think that what you're seeing is it's proving that the u.s. economy is still growing but more than that. still people are worried about the recession i think we're just seeing the market rebound it's really investors clinging on to a little piece of good news in this kind of environment so i don't think that we should read anything. too soon to say. people were watching the coming data very closely and. the negative issues that were there yesterday are still there today it's just a little bit of sort of a little bit of a golden lining if you want this is what we call a relief rally which you can turn south again if you see something coming out of

spain and italy or anything else coming out of us very easily returning downwards again. and a so you can look at what's going on on the markets at the moment starting with commodities brant is coming back from thursday's lows it's up more than one dollar per barrel this hour light sweet still down thirty two cents a really and that's a really cool about investing into commodities as of course the pace of the recovery of the global economy very much turman demand for crude oil. u.s. markets are really seeing a roller coaster train on friday afternoon issue up swing from the jobs report the master. right now point two percent lower dow jones up one percent but everything changes basically by the minute nationally tech stocks are under pressure might be one of the biggest economies. closing picture now for friday in europe the sort of foot sea and the dax down by two point seven and two point eight percent

respectively as well to losing three point four percent on first day banks were a big drag royal bank of scotland declining at one point twenty one percent on friday that's after the banks one to a second. and finally the closing picture for russia where the r.t.s. to can beating down three percent in my six so also. declining two per cent negative first day session main decliners on the my sex work energy shares gas romanov stamp shedding percent. decline at one point around eight percent but managed to recover some of those losses by the end of the session. while global indices are fluctuating. group says russian markets are likely to be the first to see an upswing russia has had a fantastic run look at the. great run over the last few weeks or so slowly start

to come off but it is coming off from the highs and with the increased amount of exposure to us that with a high amount of exposure to the oil and gas markets i feel there is near downside for russian equities to be had but when the recovery comes it will come at some point then the russian market does seem very well positioned to benefit quite significantly from its. headlights with bill to stay with us for that.
