and imperial. george was to school until you can a little closer to joe it's a duty to go and. run the city the colonel was which is used to retreat. for fresh attempts a full year of pounds of the economic turmoil as the german and french leaders hold a crucial role the powers that are comic over possible credit rating cards. or lives are on the moscow sizes of the world's newest aviation achievements it's time for a long slide premier pilots for the stunning show that is the facts twenty eleven. a major oil spill off the coast of scotland with energy giant shell and of course the government using the slippery setup to get by. in india as a body bizarre and gruesome all contrarians grooming that leaders turn a blind side today's illegally preying on poverty stricken people to sacrifice back

help to survive. a very warm welcome to this is live from moscow now the french and german leaders are due to meet in paris to have another go at stopping the year is in debt crisis from spreading the worry is that italy and spain it may be next in line to fail while france is also battling to keep its credit score from being downgraded but we'll talk to our correspondent who's in brussels and then later for the latest on . now in another development the european central bank has revealed details of its emergency operation to see it italy and spain from sinking in debt it spent a record twenty two billion euros on government bonds but does that include school

reports hopes of survival within the euro zone are fading in spain. some work to live others lives to work hockey market combines the two today he and his nephew run the picture frame shop set up by hawkins grandfather almost a century gulf but the family firm is in a rough spot. like all in spain my business has been struggling although it's not visible in all areas of business times have been very hard for you consider this unemployment at more than twenty percent one of the highest in the eurozone again soon sovereign debt ever crossed their bonds and the country's problems don't start there despite being the fourth largest economy in europe spain is definitely feeling the bite of the credit crisis and that many asking the question is the result such a great idea after all the answer may just be no the country's reading has been downgraded twice in september of last year with moody's agency threatening to do so

again in the future in fact some in spain believe the best strategy in the current climate may be an exit one. this would give us a certain autonomy it would affect positively internal processes in the country the purchasing power would give citizens access to all sorts of benefits and would have been good for the wages it very well could lead to the improvement of situation in spain. a key factor here is distance while the spanish struggle with those in unemployment their fate is largely being decided by the masters in chief in brussels. and what we're witnessing here major internal problems which you cannot solve out of brussels because it's outside of the e.u. competence they have neither the finances nor the labor capabilities to help spain because many people are unhappy with the place spain takes in the european union.

but hook him isn't losing hope that his country and his business will eventually climb out of the slump and of course. it will stabilize in the end it's the small businesses like mine that will do the job because three or four people take were close to heart and large corporations something which means only be possible if the founding federation of the eurozone and its own house back you know what are you going to go score eighty madrid. but our top story now in the upcoming meeting between the french and german leaders taking place in paris a little bit later let's talk to daniel bush will he's in brussels for us daniel what of ease bankroll is likely to consider next. the magic pill is being called the so-called euro bonds which would spread the crisis the euro across the european union it would in a way transfer northern reliability northern european reliability to those southern states which are in so much trouble but germany for obvious reasons doesn't want to

even discuss it it says that. euro bonds will play no role in the talks today between chancellor angela merkel of germany president nicolas sarkozy of france they will discuss the eurozone crisis but germany doesn't want to lose its reputation by saying events by saying the doesn't want to lose reputation by saying that it wants to sign up to this euro bond now the meeting today is expected to come out with some results there are fears that it won't be a conclusive resolution and there are growing voices influential investors like george soros saying the only solution is that countries like portugal and ireland should leave the euro portugal and greece should leave the euro now the irony is that the opposition in germany the christian democrats wants this eurobond and they are leading in the polls it seems that the german people realize that the only way to save the euro itself is boys signing up to take some responsibility for these

european bits now the trouble is germany is already being sucked into the crisis its growth the growth. economy skidded to a halt in the second three months of the you just prove your point one percent one point five percent so a very dramatic fall so the resawing is noble even europe's biggest economy is being dragged down by the your crisis. daniel many. bushell there reporting for us from brussels. well let's find out what else is going on with european economics today from our business desk. markets all heading down around one point two percent as germany has reported a very low lower than expected g.d.p. growth figures for the second quarter and we will have more on that around fifteen minutes for you not business but was. moving on the aviation world's high fliers have arrived at their fold in the last. this is international air show takes off

max twenty eleven problems is causing is technology for groups of billion travelers and air forces while top gun pilots will put their cross through their paces with some spectacular aerobatics it is that i am a square feel for r.t. as it gives us the what's being anticipated previous years. well this is the max air show and as you said earlier this really is a plot for for a different companies of the aviation industry both civil and military to showcase the new technologies the innovations they have in the row field now for civil aviation for example we've been looking at two big planes of right behind me the a seventy seven boeing dreamliner as well as the airbus a three eighty and of course we've seen the the savoy superjet as well so again modern a bigger airplanes for a commercial travel on the defense side though there's a lot of a dissipated and for what russia has to offer this year at the savoy fifty you know

this is a fifth generation military aircraft again safe if generation we're talking about more efficient a faster and a better stealth capabilities and the only other of the to generation in military aircraft that's out there right now flying is the effort twenty two raptor which belongs to the u.s. air force so this is a platform for a russia to showcase the new technology that it has and it is pretty important because this is the first time in two decades more than two decades a case in fact that russia has come up with a product a created a military product with new technologies and put it out there so again we're interested to see what it can actually do up in the air as speaking of what can be done up in the air as you did mention earlier we are looking forwards of course to be the aerobatics teams that are here right now we will have the italian air force the french and the u.s. as well as the russian two russian teams in fact over quite popular russian teams the russian knights as well as swift and if their past performances are to be used

as the basis of what to expect i think we're going to be seeing some pretty impressive scary start said my colleague either a good or never actually went with them on one of their practice runs and here's what he saw. at the field this tends to the most famous aerobatic teams in the world even to dress for this. today is one of the last chances for the russian knights and the swiss track has a new program ahead of the much performance. the showstopper the trademark nine plain diamond of two very different aircraft a light that makes information. down from both the false jets in perfect sync but as the pilots touch down tempers run high. that's normal everybody cares we're all in the mood to work we all want to put on

a great show. these pilots don't think of themselves and the trainers the serving officers the flying elite hand-picked from the entire russian air force the technology develops. a new was being abandoned in favor long range missiles and strayed. so. these demonstrations of piloting prowess just becoming a side show right. i don't think so at all. so we go back to who sees whom and how they can respond to the situation kills will never become obsolete enough to go again practicing for hours perfecting the skills only harmful in the world capable of old fashioned dogfights might not be as big a part of combat as they once were but here they're keeping alive. either

a. field. out there that. throughout the week or last in first class action as well as touch but the movers and shakers in. hands. up from. shape our future flights try hard to change to the max air show. now the energy giant shell says the oil spill in the north sea has been drastically would g.'s but ecologist warn it could take twenty years to clean up its after the angry dutch company was forced to admit that more than two hundred tons of crude oil leaked into the north sea it's been the worst spill in british waters in more

than a decade and began last wednesday but it was only acknowledged by shell two days later other ones even the u.k. based people on planets to the organization think shell and the government i think implicit in oil industry coverups agents. i think people who are used to dealing with shell wouldn't be surprised at all about the lack of communication it's worth remembering that it was only a few days ago that they admitted after years of lawyers and cover up their role in the enormous spills across nigeria this company has never let the truth or in fact people's lives on the environment get in the way of getting the way of their profit margin so so i think we certainly don't know for sure how bad it is but we do know that this is a serious bill we know for certain it is the worst spill in this country. i've seen very little coverage of this at all and i understand that i'm not at all surprised how little coverage has been of this or as well as i said it's the biggest in ten years but it's important to remember that the u.k.

government and the scottish government have both got long histories of being hand in hand and in the pockets of the oil industry in this country and so if you government to the only other potential monitors of this you have later on to keep it quiet on the show and shall take you really not talking about it it's not surprising that the media covering it so again again not surprising that very sad as you say a major incident really not reported in the u.k. press. well the british oil industry's track record is still in a shake used even though this oil spill is far less than because telstra in the gulf of mexico which happened back in april that twenty turned eleven people were killed in that disaster five million barrels of oil spewed into the ocean assy house footage and coverage of the devastation that's online at r.t. dot com. now in india not everyone's benefiting from the boo with some people tragically selling their own body parts to survive an illegal grim organ

trade thriving because donors are hard to come by it's pretty shrewd has been discovering. cholera room again is alone in her tiny empty apartment in china like many indians who struggle to make ends meet kala is constantly in debt despite selling pretty much everything she has including her own kidney and i'm not. going to group her he told me that i could sell my kidney i agreed because i was in a bad situation and my children were small we did not even have any food to eat when the two thousand and four tsunami hit the coast of south asia kahlo was one of hundreds of thousands of people who lost everything in order to get back on her feet she got along that she was the leader unable to repay. and we had a lot of debt i had to borrow money to buy the fishing boat the people i borrowed money from started asking me for money they said they will come home and embarrass us if we didn't repay the money desperate and vulnerable tsunami survivors soon

became the perfect targets for the illegal organ trade in india it's become known as the red market every year one hundred thousand indians need organ replacements a demand that drives an illegal supply with some organs even being sold to a small percentage of just spirit transplant tourists and ninety ninety four the indian government has the law meant to regulate organ donation in this country it first it was supposed to get an organ from a donor who was in some way known said even though each transplant was supposed to be approached by a committee of doctors it's almost impossible for anyone to stop money transactions from happening under the table in general when a recipient finds out that he or she needs an organ donor they normally approach friends or family for a match when those options are exhausted rogue doctors or hospital staff can introduce the recipient to a broker usually

a former illegal donor two who can scout nearby poor neighborhoods for someone who is willing to see. well their kidney can go under the knife but they are really forced by good news for them also the roots of this got it so i've come here to the law. don a blind eye to this happening to transplants from the joiner to the recipient to take place in the hospital simultaneously to donor and making a little over a thousand dollars while the brokers can profit almost double that. i went to the group crew he said he will give me fifty thousand rupees for my kidney it was supposed to be much more but the broker cheated us the donors also frequently are robbed of their health before i used to run around and work a lot but now i can do as much work as they used to i find it difficult even to leave the court or what i can go to work i have severe pain in my abdomen and my chest but i don't like it and while horror stories of the red market are exchanged

among locals those with no options left are forced to take extreme measures sacrificing their health just to stay alive preassure either party china india or more from prison slides into india on our website were lining up morning with us at r.t. dot com as well here's what's online few of them are. the hands of help from two survivors of the massacre or norway's a toy lives two teenagers from russia they tried to stop under the rampage also. solve it military secrets for the chinese dragon why ukraine seeking to sell china planes tanks and air defense systems and more of that are the other stories we're covering all of our dot com.

now the libyan government has ripped. fortunately for a tactical ballistic rocket for the first time in the country's complex a scud missile is said to happen aimed at rebel forces that landed its kilometers off target does that it comes as the front moves closer to get out and stronghold of fierce battles raging in the city of zawiya just fifty kilometers from tripoli meanwhile libya's interior minister and his family reportedly flying to cairo in his private jet but cannot get up his position appearing shaky excursion to egypt it's more like to actually put it before us to provide him libya. and we go there are very curus to be searched although we haven't seen pictures of him or his kids and camels in front of the pyramids eating ice cream it seems like he really has defected so he's being a bit tough the senior interior minister is a real blow to the regime for the last couple of weeks there's been some

significant advances by the rebels. you know blocks the route from tunisia they control the fuel so the global north. and they control the city of misrata needs to be reduced to go around the other hand i remind you that nato forces are going absolutely essential to their small theory success so for the rebels can you imagine the embarrassment to the president's road crews the prime minister cameron even the american president obama. live all this from the mighty used good looking realigns on the planet can catch up on some more international stories this hour thousands of palestinian refugees forced to flee a un count in the syria like yeah i mean shelling by government troops the latest military assault to go out protesters claims around thirty license so they activists report rounds of gunfire raids and house to house arrest on monday in the

our poll after poll in the us show that a growing number of americans think it's high time to lift the embargo against cuba it's been in place for over half a century it was designed to bring down fidel castro but it's cuban citizens who suffer despite political promises from president obama downwards it seems the powerful anti castro lobby won't let the embargo drop any time soon as r.t. came forward investigates. cuba ninety miles from america's shores and for fifty two years a world apart during the cuban revolution in one nine hundred fifty nine the u.s. imposed an embargo and all trade investment in travel in attempt to bring down the communist government of fidel castro the son of the cubans who fled the island for the u.s. push to keep his agenda alive and so the inside castro lobby was born to give a lot of money the u.s. elections are privately financed so. little to figure out how to play the games

even though there are a small percentage of the population very. play very big in a key swing state polls consistently show that two thirds of americans favor ending the embargo and normalizing relations with cuba and some in congress agree so by the time we talk to cuba it's to stop fighting these wars in about thirty or forty years or anti castro groups have given more than one point seven million dollars in donations to federal candidates from two thousand and four to two thousand and ten more than half a million dollars in two thousand and ten alone to both republicans and democrats and sharing u.s. cuba policy remains virtually unchanged. and that it will enhance the effectiveness of the embargo the united states will keep the embargo. fewer than one percent of americans are of cuban origin and the journey emigrated before the end of the cold war and like the rest of the spanish population in the u.s. fifty eight percent of cubans are u.s. citizens cubans who arrive and step foot beaches in south florida are on their way

to citizenship haitians who arrive and set foot on the beaches of miami are on their way to a detention center in deportation cuban americans are also a force to be reckoned with in congress we don't we are the most over represented community in congress with two senators and four representatives we say so. including the chairman of the house foreign affairs committee and we've got over us that and i welcome the opportunity of having anyone assassinate fidel castro and any leader who is suppressing oppressing the people they have powerful political action committees behind them like the u.s. cuba democracy pac the number one campaign donor in two thousand and six with more than five hundred thousand dollars our communities very focused and it's very concentrated in florida in jersey therefore we really have to make an effort to get out there and create the relationships. the social and agenda that has been known

to change many politicians minds including president barack obama. i think. you know obama changed his mind while campaigning before the cuban american national foundation. but while the majority of americans favor ending the sanctions against cuba even protesting in the streets i think. we have yet to match the strength of the intake castro lobby killing ford r. t. washington d.c. . ok that is the way the news this is how i was going to business update. thanks and as well as our reporter there earlier also was international air show has kicked off the organizers expect more than ten billion dollars worth of contracts to be signed over the next few years and the first deals are already there as a russian airline trans there are signs up to buy eight jets with a catalog price of over seven hundred million dollars christopher buckley vice

president of us outlines his hopes for the russian market. we're very optimistic and enthusiastic about the russian market we still see growth continuing a little bit over five percent to five point three percent per year which is higher than the world average so for us that means that. many more aircraft in the coming years. if we can would probably like to win. between forty and fifty percent of the overall market. and even this year in two thousand and eleven we have new operators we're very proud express. and we try to use transit if we can continue with the current rate and say our sales here by five to ten percent a year we'd be delighted but. let's move to the markets now european stocks are coming under pressure latest economic growth figures from germany proved to be

particularly disappointing showing years owns biggest economy virtually stalled in the second quarter growing just point. one percent agee is one of the biggest losers in frankfurt is shedding two point seven percent this hour. here are the russian figures where the r.t.s. is down one hundred percent the my sixty two percent this is on the back of the klein in oil prices will look at them in just a second they have all gazprom of losing one point seven percent as are other energy companies the company actually posted a eighty six percent increase in net profit for the first half wroth tell a call me continues with its high volatility it's going against the general trend that's our two point three percent this hour that's after growing more than ten percent and losing double digit figures the previous week burbank is down one point six percent there's a move to do well and as i mentioned earlier this hour light sweet so one dollar brant more than that even the one dollar twelve cents per barrel this is of course
