the gateway to the grand imperial truly the george weston. you can a letter to the socialist see don't need to go and. read this in the kennel was the chill retreat. a fresh attempt to pull you out of economic turmoil as the german and french leaders hold crucial talks with paris in a panic over a possible credit rating. all eyes are on the moscow skies as the world's newest aviation achievements taxi up alongside premier pilots for the stunning show that is max two thousand done about. a major oil spill off the coast of scotland could energy giant shell the british government are accused of a slippery set up to keep it quiet. and india's a body of bizarre and gruesome organ trade is booming but leaders ton a blind eye to those illegally preying on poverty stricken people who sacrificed

their health to support. just after three pm here in the russian capital you without say i'm shy the french and german leaders are due to meet in paris to have another go at stopping the eurozone debt crisis from spreading the worry is that italy and spain may be next in line to fail while france is also battling to keep its credit score from being downgraded. the magic pill that's supposed to spread the euro across the european union is something called euro bones that in effect trends northern european stability to the southern states it would create a single. people could boy into the suppose it would be calm investors to show that there is a united front and the strongest states. with the weakest periphery

countries like greece portugal also spain and italy now germany for reasons doesn't want to discuss it at the moment it doesn't want to lose its hold the reputation as a reliable. signing up to this and it has actually said that europe will play no role in the talks today some investors a bit surprised because growing numbers the thing that is the only way to save the euro now influential investors like george soros say portugal and greece should leave the euro and eurobonds all the only way out now even germany is already being felt into this crisis its growth the growth of its economy. just one percent in the second three months of this year we just that the euro debt crisis is even bringing down the economy all right and later this hour here on out a look at how that is fueling

a new gold rush across the atlantic as there is no end in sight for the troubles with the u.s. dollar some say it's time to stop the printing press and returns of precious metals . germany's dax is down two and a half percent dragging with it out of financial markets as germany's g.d.p. growth fell short of expectations more of that in our business bulletin and it's going to start. the aviation world high fliers are hitting the runway at an airfield in the moscovici that's where this year's international air show was taking place two thousand and eleven promises cutting edge technology for both civilian travelers and air forces while top gun pilots are putting planes through their paces with some just simply spectacular aerobatics. is that. we are here with the tenth max airshow it's already started we've already seen some performance by the aerobatics team but really what this is is a place where all those in the aviation industry can showcase their new technology the innovations both in civil aviation as well as military aviation now we've seen

some of the bigger commercial airlines i commit commercial planes here we have the airbus a three eighty as well as the the minor and force the so void super jet that's a very interesting people going in to see it see exactly what it is like inside bigger it's good news for us passengers now the military side again a lot of build up to be a some point a t fifty it's going to be the first russian made this generation plane we're talking about this generation military aircraft we're talking about more efficient to speed as well as better stealth capabilities are the only one in the market right now is the f. twenty two raptor which the last course of the u.s. air force so here is it way for the us who i makers of the t. fifty to showcase exactly what it's capable of doing and of course as i mentioned earlier there will be a lot of air shows up for everyone it's going to be fine you have the french air force the italian air force the americans as well as the russians you have the a russian knight says well as the swiss so we're looking forward to that but aside

from just the commercial airlines aircraft as well as the military aircraft we have something that's sort of in between not really commercial not really military and it's like this small plane over here actually is just the right size for me. peter let's talk and you tell us a little bit about this plane over here to start with a military plane it's not really a commercial plane so what exactly is it this is a kit plane you can buy this plane and build it in about six months and that's what bob wilson did himself he built the airplane in six months and was flying the aircraft across the united states was flown over eight thousand kilometers in two and a half days and the first time outside of the u.s. that right is correct is the first time this plane is going outside the u.s. first time in russia first time in europe a lot of first going on this trip thank you very much for that well i'll be certainly trying. if you go into the cockpit later on really a lot of things for spectators as well as those participating to do over here my colleague or god have managed to go behind the scenes with the aerobatics to see exactly what they do at a practice session and to see what we're seeing right now is pretty amazing so

let's look at what he found out. doubtless fair here at the cuban pit airfield this stands for two of the most famous aerobatic teams in the world even in a dress rehearsal there's no margin for error should say one of the last chances for the russians and the swiss track is the new program ahead of the mikes show performance. the showstopper trademark nine plain diamond of two very different aircraft delighted migs information the behavior sukhoi. hearing from below the force jet flew in perfect sync but as the pilots touched down tempers run high among. everybody cares we're all in the mood to work we all want to put on a great show for. these pilots don't think themselves that the plane is their service but this is the flying elite hand-picked from the russian air force your

best technology develops top gun stolen movies being abandoned in favor long range missiles and if thrown straight down. so are these demonstrations of piloting prowess just becoming a side show was right here richards i don't think so at all in real war electronics could often be jammed so go back to seize and how they can respond to the situation skills will never become obsolete and not to go again practicing the towers protecting distills only for the world ok for old fashioned dogfights might not be as big a part of combat as they once were but here they're keeping us alive. feel . the same to us here as we will be at the max two thousand and eleven

after all throughout the week i will have some first class supply action as well as keeping you in touch with the movers and shakers in every action. that. hands. up from. shape the future flights. are two types to the max air show. all week long as well to stay with us here on our senior now and every two minutes past the hour in moscow the energy giant shell says that the oil spill in the north sea has been drastically reduced but ecologists when it could take twenty years to clean up the anglo dutch company was forced to admit that more than two hundred tons of crude leaked into the sea a government environment officials say it's much more it's said to be the worst spill in british waters in a more than

a decade and we can last wednesday it was only acknowledged by shell two days later i don't ramsey from the u.k. based people and the planet student organization things shelled and the government has been complicit in oil industry cover ups. i think to 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 had miss it after years of lollies and cover up their role in the enormous spilled across nigeria so i think we certainly don't know for sure how bad it is but we do know that this is a serious bilby no assertion. the worst spill in this country in more than a decade i've seen very little coverage of this at all and i'm uncertain to say that i'm not at all surprised how little coverage there's been it's also as i said biggest in ten years but it's important to remember the u.k. government and the british government opposed but long history of being hand in hand and in the pockets of the auditor in this country and so for government to the

only other potential money they still have they can't keep it quiet in the shell peculiarly not talking about it it's not surprising that the media covering it again and again not surprising that very sad is their major incident really not reported in the u.k. press. well the british oil industry's track record is still in a shaky state even though this oil spill is far less than the catastrophe in the gulf of mexico that happened in the april of two thousand and ten eleven people were killed in that disaster and almost five million barrels of oil spewed into the gulf r.t. has footage and coverage of the devastation it's online razzi dot com. in india not everyone is benefiting from the boom with some people tragically selling their own body parts to survive and the illegal grim organ trade is thriving because donors are hard to come by and so he's pretty treated as we've discovered. cala 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. i went 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 kala it was one of hundreds of thousands of people who lost everything in order to get back on her feet she got along but she was later on able to repay. 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 pay the money just for it 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 desperate transplant tourists and nine hundred ninety four of the indian government hot the law meant to regulate organ donation in this country first if it was supposed to get an organ from a donor who was in some way known saddam even wrote each transplant was supposed to be approved 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 are hospital staff can introduce the recipient to a broker usually a former illegal donor or two who can scout nearby poor neighborhoods for someone who is willing to see. well their kidney and go under the knife but they are

necessary for biker news for an old say part of it so there's got to there's a lot. of those doctors also done a blind eye to this happening to transplants from the joiner to the recipient take place in the hospital simultaneously the donor ends up making a little over a thousand dollars while the brokers can profit almost double that. now that i went to the brokerage 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 live to put whatever i can go to work i have severe pain in my abdomen and my chest i don't like 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 archie china india and more from peru so insight into into india that is on our website i was learning a more news and analysis of r.t. dot com as well here are some of the items but if you're right now i'm a firsthand account from two survivors of the massacre on always a toy island as two teenagers from russia tell how they try to stop and its progress from also. soviet military secrets for the chinese dragon why ukraine is seeking to sell china play sand and the fence systems but more on that and other stories we're covering of course at r.t. dot com. now a quarter past the hour here in moscow. with america's debt drain and its distressed

dollar more and more investors are turning to the shiny stuff gold is fetching regular prices right now industry analyst scott carter told us that the push for precious metals will continue while the u.s. struggles to get its house in order to our objective was to make the dollar stable for the world we did not achieve that and as a result what you're seeing because of the boom bust cycle inflation the valuing of the currency you're seeing a move back to the gold standard even though it's not official you see gold increasing in value you see individuals sovereign nations and central banks purchasing gold as a way to hedge against the dollar with the dollar as the world's reserve currency there has to be some sort of consistency with value day to day it can be worth less tomorrow than it is today otherwise the the means of which we measure goods and services is subject to the whims of the federal reserve of the u.s. and i think the world is is skeptical of that so whether we have a gold standard or not if governments don't figure out how to spend or live within

their means you're going to continue to see gold take the lion's share of the increase or the appreciation and you're going to see currencies like the dollar decline in value america's woes have already angered the largest holder is that of course that china vice president joe biden is heading to beijing on a reassurance mission on wednesday poor rule who's an investment advisor in hong kong says washington's troubles are too big for its asian partner not to worry. planners extremely skeptical they must be very worried if i was the biggest holder of u.s. treasuries i'd be worried too because the u.s. is in a terrible situation the budget deficit is barely out of control it's almost eight percent of g.d.p. the federal debt is now about ninety six percent of g.d.p. and politicians in washington don't have any will to get the house in order all they know is to prolong the problem to push the can down the road and as long as that is the case we are going to see severe pressure on the u.s.

dollar the economies in asia generally speaking are in a lot healthier state than they are in the us or europe and when mr bernanke prints money this is the value of the u.s. dollar devalues the dollar and makes commodity prices go up and that causes inflationary headaches in asia. with r.t. now the libyan government has reportedly fired a tactical ballistic rocket for the first time in the country's conflict a scud missile is said to have been aimed at rebel forces but landed about eighty kilometers off target in the desert it comes as the front moves closer to gadhafi stronghold of fierce battles raging in the city of zawiya just fifty clips from tripoli meanwhile libya's interior minister and his family have reportedly flown to cairo in his private jet with colonel gadhafi his position appearing shaky excursions to egypt looks more like defection but according to a former u.s. diplomat. he says he and his family are there on

a tourist research well we haven't seen pictures of him and his kids on camels in front of the pyramids eating ice cream it seems like he really has defected and if so he's being the top cop the senior interior minister is a real blow to the regime in the last couple of weeks there's been some significant advances by the rebels capturing goals that we have blocked the road from tunisia they control the hills so for critically the jebel nafusa and they control the city of misrata and the east will be virtually got tripoli surrounded on the other hand i remind you that nato forces have been absolutely essential to the singletary success so far of the rebels can you imagine the embarrassment to president sarkozy and prime minister cameron and even the american president obama cannot be should survive all this from the mightiest looking very alliance on the planet. so i would r.t. that she got some other international news for you this hour in our world our friday

thousands of public trees are being forced to flee a un camp and syria. all amid shelling by government troops latest military assault aimed at rooting out protesters has claimed at least thirty eight lives since saturday actually was reported random gunfire raids and house to house arrest on monday violence so it's not a gun but it's a joint trip to cross the five month authorizing the president. well surely a man has been arrested in the u.s. over an attack on a sydney teenager in which a fake bomb was attached to our neck a mast man and broke into the girl's family home and change her to the device for ten hours before a bomb squad managed to set her free and she was not hurt and the device was later found to contain no explosives police still think it was an extortion attempt even though initial reports of a ransom demand proved to be wrong. israeli airstrikes on gaza this tuesday morning have reportedly killed one and injured several including

a five year old boy the israeli air force struck four different locations allegedly targeting hamas training bases officials claim militants were about to launch a mortar shell from one of them also says the shelling was a response to rockets fired from gaza i'd be ashamed for on monday. poll after poll in the us showed 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 and was designed to bring down fidel castro but it's cuban citizens who are the ones who suffer but it's my political promises from president obama downwards it seems the powerful anti castro lobby won't let the embargo drop anytime soon as i kill in thought reports. cuba ninety miles from america's shores and for fifty two years a world apart oh and the cuban revolution in one thousand nine hundred nine the u.s. imposed in pargo an all trade investment in travel nearly tempt to bring down the

communist government i felt. some of the cubans who fled the island for the u.s. pushed to keep this agenda alive and so the n.c.a. castro lobby was born they give a lot of money you know u.s. elections are in fact privately financed so they've been able to figure out how to play the game so even though they're a small percentage of the population they 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 it's about time we talk to cuba instead stop fighting these wars in about thirty or forty years old and by castro groups have given more than one point seven million dollars in donations the 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 ensuring us 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 jury emigrated before the end of the cold war unlike the rest of the spanish population in the u.s. fifty eight percent of cubans are u.s. citizens cubans who arrived and stepped 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 definitely are the most over represented community and congress with two senators and four representatives we say so. including the chairman of the house foreign affairs committee and we've got a rustler and. welcome the opportunity of having anyone assassinate fidel castro and any leader who was oppressing oppressing the people they have powerful political action committees behind them like the us cuba democracy pac the number

one campaign donor in two thousand and six with more than five hundred thousand dollars our community is very focused and it's very concentrated in florida in new jersey therefore we really have to make an effort to get out there and create the relationships. socially and agenda that has been known to change many politicians minds including president barack obama i think. you know obama changed his mind will campaigning before the cuban american national foundation. i'm going to tell you. what the majority of americans favor and being essentially against cuba even protesting in the streets but i think that they have yet to match the strength of the n.s.a. castro lobby killin ford r. t. washington d.c. . boston with us our time now for dimitri and the prisoners. know them welcome to the business update on our see and as our channel reports of
