2:05 pm
crisis so how can you solve this crisis with moderates so i don't see any solution . like i'm talking to a little earlier here on r t in our business desk is of course keeping us up to date on developments and dimitri has his eye on the markets at the moment particularly after the release of the latest u.s. unemployment report so dimitri responding and well right now it's all looking positive we are seeing however a very very volatile trading today it's really a low roller coaster jones moving up and down within a margin of around four hundred points from positive to negative and back well there was as you mentioned a crucial unemployment report and that came in much better than expected and provided a lot of positive sentiment at first but then an all faded away showing just how fragile right. now investor confidence is so investors are being really cautious they're looking for new signs new moves from the u.s. and the e.u. to solve their problems like michael nourse was mentioning these problems are still
2:06 pm
there they are been solved and so really right now we want to is just very cautious . british intelligence services have allegedly been violating international law for almost a decade late. top secret documents suggest agents were involved in the torture of prisoners held overseas and the policy was reportedly first implemented in two thousand and two in afghanistan was and begged who spent three years in guantanamo and other prisons says the british government is unlikely to punish those responsible for torture despite intelligence agents being complicit. they were physically present when i was being abused they saw my hands on my back as well my lecture hall they saw guns pointed with me i was subject to the sounds of women screaming i was let the lead was my wife being tortured and i am completely one hundred percent sure and i would not have consequent on the altar but rather had it not been for the importance of british intelligence services i am the head of an
2:07 pm
organization called cage prisoners in which we have been campaigning for people to take their child to trial by the u.s. we have highlighted over thirty cases that include syria egypt bangladesh morocco pakistan and which british intelligence services have been involved in peter puce or have been complicit where people have been abused in these countries and we have offered this information to the police i think the reality would be if it was these revelations are made it's true people will be upset it's what the government does about those things anybody would get radicalized if you hear about the types of torture that took place however when the government said that they will hold to account those people who were involved in torture and we take them for their work and if the government then goes against that and so we'll have that session but it's going to be in secret and you will get to see it and you will get to see those people involved in your torture and then people will lose any support any idea that
2:08 pm
the government is actually going to try to him carry out justice. this is r.t. live here in moscow still ahead this hour. his mum. is ensemble in europe. a group of hardline muslims trying to enforce tough shari'a law or none of them opening a new front of multicultural tension in europe. close up to the troubles to the imuran region on china's doorstep and this comes how russian and chinese culture intertwine this is a few minutes away here on r.t. . the first present value of is urging. syria's leader bashar al assad to kick start reforms and end the violence in his country before it's too late dimitri medvedev was giving an extensive interview to r.t. as well as the radio and georgian t.v. channel peak and here's a preview for you and the full version of that interview is coming up in about twenty five minutes from now north cities unfortunately the situation in syria has
2:09 pm
taken a dramatic turn we real politicians should follow developments in africa a 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 chris williams need to be carried out but frankly should establish a little your position establishing peace in the country and create a smoking state if you fail to do that i'm going to sound future awaits and at the end of the day we'll have to make a decision we're watching the situation is changing our guidelines are. meanwhile antigovernment protests continue across syria despite an ongoing crackdown by the military record suggests at least ten more protesters have been killed as the assault on the city of hama continues that is the opposition dismissed the cruelly from president assad proposing a multi-party system saying the violence has to end before dialogue begin its
2:10 pm
international pressure is growing on the syrian leadership to stop the violence will the u.s. say it's working to find new ways to try and influence the situation beyond sanctions. and islamic leadership tension of a very different kind in britain with hardline muslims trying to enforce shari'a law in london from abstention to amputation parties nor emmet spin haring help 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 a 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 wealth of east london muslims will become on the good of being evil because of these families will try to for the muslim of an all muslim
2:11 pm
community ozomatli we believe the muslims have together trade according to this area has all the problems of the sharia and even police themselves to large extent healthy one day to harvest some of the emirates which we have authority locally security locally i do quite often 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 should we and all by any means know that in force we will not initially be in on the level of inviting and have been fairly but it's one of the capabilities of in this century some evil like pornography prostitution issue do so. by that week i think of course i believe that the need a mosque should be run out of the area these muslims say british society is broken riddled with drugs crime and prostitution because of that they firmly believe
2:12 pm
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 so if you go by the laws of the place you live on so my way to appreciate the law. and all of these things are completely legal in this country this is not india or pakistan this is it including our own laws people have no rights can here bring their laws in here we often have because i think the trouble but councillor martin isa. griese say this could destroy community cohesion we've. taken the since they put up because we do not want these posters around. and they have no place to move from forests this is an equality campaigners say this should real supporters shouldn't be considered a religious movement called rights political organization with a place to campaign designed to divide and conquer communities their danger lies in
2:13 pm
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're your friend turn to us on this very very dangerous thing and it's a political tactic to increase their own power undeterred by opposition child 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 past as they appear but choudhry and his group say bay formed bands of vigilante in forces to make sure. all physically and in other parts of london women have already been harassed for not covering their head if these muslims ever get their way i won't be able to dress like this on the streets of all many other parts of london brussels rome and
2:14 pm
paris. go from stone looks. more insight on the story i'm joined from london by phil reese is a writer on terrorism and political violence the feel good to see you in. a campaign appears to be an aggressive and uncompromising one could they really establish. the color. well on my way here bill i mean i passed through several parts that are overflowing it's been a warm sunny day and there i say the women are wearing fairly revealing clothing certainly ones that i'm sure and trout he and his group would like to ban but i think he's got as much chance as me winning the lottery to be quite honest anjem choudary and his movement they've been banged various times by the british government they're a group probably four to five hundred strong and they're a master of publicity basically they have very good relations with britain's tabloids the tabloids like and jane because he's great at bringing out the quotes and big really
2:15 pm
a making movement politically important and i know and very well and he's a lawyer he's a he's i've had lunch with him several times he's got actually quite charming a very interesting man but he puts on this persona of this highly aggressive movement which has gone around the world and it's unfortunately got serious consequences because on one level you could say well you know i'd like it to be sunny every day i'd like everyone in britain to be happy well he'd like it to be a muslim state but it happened you've got one and a half and two percent of britain's population being muslim or maybe a little bit more who knows the city one point five million so you know they're not going to affect really the destiny of britain though i think that there are serious implications to what he says unfortunately and they do reflect other problems well campaign as they say they want to see the stoning of adulterers and women forced to cover up their bodies on the street something you just referred to a little earlier tell us more about shari'a nor am i mean is that what it's all about obviously it's it's
2:16 pm
a muslim part of the muslim religion but it's obviously not represented by all supported by the majority of muslims. muslims don't like. and his group x. war now of course he takes a very literal reading of the koran and the literal understanding of sharia law and i think this goes to the heart of the problem for islam perhaps throughout the world or indeed for for muslims living predominately muslim countries how do they interpret god's laws as presented as revealed in the holy text and i think you know there is a real debate there are new fact is someone who's prepared to take on this debate but the trouble is that it's never really discussed on a serious level because it is considered so outrageous you know then it creates then the opposite of that which is non muslims in britain saying let's lock them up these people are dangerous so unfortunately was done these trivialize the debate which is a very serious one for living with felicity how they incorporate but the other
2:17 pm
thing is people like a frying to debate this issue are they not i mean backing but we've seen several european politicians facing trial for politically incorrect speech is against islam so why isn't that same law applied to those sharia campaigners who are trying this obviously fairly harsh rhetoric rhetoric outspoken. well i mean and cherry's a lawyer and you know he's been dancing very close to british law on several occasions in fact seven of his group i mean one of them in your record there his name is he was detained under terrorism laws so they have been sort of working out what to say and how they can be within britain's free speech laws you know and jim is doing this deliberately he's doing it to provoke and i think what other people should do and say listen he doesn't represent the majority of muslims in britain and muslims are part of britain and we could work out how to increase their morals into the great of morality and values of british society and i think that's true
2:18 pm
for every country in the world where we live in now in an international community but his provocation can be extremely dangerous couldn't it i mean we see far right groups surely outraged by this sort of campaign i mean could it lead to the sort of response we've seen recently in norway where a mass shooting was carried out in response to the wave of immigration and exactly the issues we're talking about. well bill your viewers may not realize this but the english defense league and by the way anders breivik sent there many messages refer to them many times in his tone at fifteen hundred pages he wrote just before the slaughter there but it was an engine tragedy newsgroup that triggered the formation of the english defense league in a town north of london called so actually you know why i know them and consider them i mean i've talked to them a bit like the flintstones the way they behave but indeed because their messages can be amplified by the media all around the world has had some very very serious consequences both in creating groups like the english defense league and perhaps even you know by a string of what was then street when people like i'm describing in norway but also
2:19 pm
and we heard in your full report there miles and david we heard the british security service is accused of of torture and things so you've got people saying oh we have a right to do that because look at these people look at these radical muslims so in a way the idea is there are dangerous and i think people are going to rein back and start having maturity of some of the issues beneath what what i'm talking about feel respected here we have to say thanks so much for joining us here he's a live in london phil research on terrorism and political violence. unrest has broken out in central kiev off that ukrainian charge ordered the arrest of former prime minister yulia tymoshenko citing contempt of court she's been on trial since june and for an edge misuse of power was signing gas deals with russia in two thousand and nine and actually going to show she has more now from the ukrainian capital. this isn't by a judge in a key of course ruled that units in the front row ukraine's former prime minister
2:20 pm
is now placed under arrest all before that she was forbidden to leave the country now she is taken to a detention center in kiev that's where she will spend her time until the trial comes to an end and certainly the atmosphere inside and outside of the court building here in san souci has been electrifying over the past several weeks or so ever since the trial started in june supporters of units of a second have been flocking here several hundred of them are now here protesting the decision which they believe is politicized and the case itself they believe to be orchestrated by the country's president because again the courts now the atmosphere inside the courtroom reminded all of the chaotic times in ukraine's politics when there were sporadic fights in ukraine's parliament now fighting pushing and shoving accusations those scenes we've seen inside the courtroom for the past several weeks to today is certainly was the culmination when the judge ruled that tomasz uncle was to be placed under arrest the supporters of the former
2:21 pm
prime minister as well as several deputies of the country's parliament tried to block the armored vehicle which was to take huge machine go out from the building to the detention center they in fact blocked this senseless even tear but then the policeman managed to disperse the crowd and the bus started to move with no problems whatsoever. the next terror to one of russia's remotest corners where integration with china knows no boundaries. where they were in the far east in a mere region it's remote rich area holding russia's largest gold reserves and is russia's most eastern economic post a move is making the most of its proximity to china as a tease and this image found out. a very warm welcome to this edition of russia place all this week coming see you from the a more beaten situation in the great hall this week as the buses fall race with
2:22 pm
thousands of kilometers away from you in moscow but to me of like that it's like folks from china and all surprisingly the influence of killing or its culture is everywhere here. high heels and a hot house it's not a look many women can pull off but then on a restaurant she prefers to be called in russia is no ordinary woman having first arrived in a mall as an interpreter in the early ninety's she and her family worked their way up from running a small cafe she owning this large construction company. and spread across the region's capital blood of ash and 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 failure and one that the mother of two says she couldn't built in china you know. if i saw an opportunity to create something
2:23 pm
here russia needs skilled laborers and with china being so close and easy our existing chinese goods equipment and are ready workforce. new research is just one of a growing band of successful chinese entrepreneurs operating in russia's far east where a river is only 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 plates. so whether it's a pair of trying to train is that you're off to perhaps the most designer sunglasses this is where the people of blagoveshchensk heads to pick up all they were installing the chinese market which then the sense of town and of course everything inside here bad label made in china and all the sellers also come from china and let me tell you it's absolutely packed inside here and how do you fight
2:24 pm
this every single day so clearly business is behaving. i've been here for three years and that china has the points not jobs things are going well in the movie you can get things really cheap here which is great if you've got a large family because only varies hugely but on balance i think we're lucky to have chinese traders here russian goods just can't compete on price and. i hoping on one of the many packed ferries the crumbs in the river every day russian consumers can enjoy an even more authentic chinese shopping experience on. he is a fine slavic flavor thank you for a bargain and in the process help to fuel the chinese economy it's led sounds of fear that russia's far east is being exploited by an entrepreneurial neighbor dismissed from the church or the small pessimists revel in self-pity at the sight of china forging ahead of this think of ways to develop like a vision of the same pace using chinese expertise capitalism and labor i believe
2:25 pm
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 in greece integration between the two countries as far as government is concerned its relationship westray. if towns in here on the a more truth line 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 faded they've been witness to the phenomenal pace the developments along the hike with slight representative of the growth of the chinese economy as a whole and its influence here in russia alistair bit our team young ward region. recap of the headlines of maple dollars just a few minutes away in the meantime dimitri joins us with a business update. for
2:26 pm
you and warm welcome to business our team markets around the globe are seesawing even after a positive jobs report in the u.s. payrolls rose by one hundred seventeen thousand workers after a meager forty six thousand increase in june a stronger than expected report sparked a rebound but confidence seems fragile peace and western from ads on capital believes what we've seen and what we've been seeing is a relief rally and logical doubts. i think that what you're seeing is it's proving that the the us economy is still growing but not more than. still people are worried about a recession i think what you're seeing the market rebound is 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 at all of it as of yet it's too soon to say and people were watching it coming in a very closely and the issues that were the negative issues that were there yesterday are still there today it's just a little bit of sort of a little bit of golden lining if you want this is what we call
2:27 pm
a relief rally which is easily can turn south again if you see something coming out of the spirit of spain or italy or anything else coming out of us very easily returning down which again. must now move through the store markets and in russia they joined the panic across international trading rules your theory is down three percent my sixty two percent lower friday bringing the overall weekly lost eight and a half and seven percent respectively so you couldn't some of the individual movers on the my six sanity majors among the worst performers on low oil prices gas from losing almost three percent growth next two and a half percent at the lowest level since december after the world plunged in new york that's all speculation of fuel demand will falter financial stocks were also under pressure and telecommunications company rose telecom was one of the worst trading stocks down three point four percent. from global in a season fluctuating when i was laid off from eating x. capital groups russian markets are likely to be the first to see an upswing. russia
2:28 pm
has had a fantastic run look at the my six inside it it's not a great run over the last few weeks or so you slowly start to come off but it's coming off on the highs and with the increased amount of exposure to us that i would have with a high amount of exposure to the oil and gas markets i feel that there is on the downside for russia it will cease 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. in the business team for now coming up next i'll see the head.
