a look at we don't sit. around in our car was a little sort of storm to confide with a. lot of but then suddenly with some problems because we did the construction our wind tunnel and lost the ball it took a weeks and another team was good growing up quite quickly and we was pulling down the side this is where we lost our i think the difference and will see our championship. was sort of fighting with the most of us who tried to be but. this time we see even sometimes if you lost one day it's you know close to something but now actually getting to some of you i had a pocket full moons i. would deploy it well and pull it finally well if i pull the pin seven clinton actually. gets to stop the bullies one day just for us but they know a whole team is not so it is strong because finally we came back in the top ten and

we can win a fight in the seven zero six seven two it listen so it will to stay positive and now it's next to one of the single subtle some not easy. yappy misting writes that not funny the modern pentathlon world championships have concluded in moscow with russia's managing several podium places the women's event wasn't quite as successful but they stand and russia a spot at next year's and then kicks from costa red as this report. world championships in modern pentathlon is divided into two ports and pick and number and bank events then divisional olympic disciplines for men and women so russia's men claiming gold and silver which resulted in an overall team gold medal as well while the women had much less to celebrate and settle for a team bronze with individual discipline also weighing in in a big place in the process was born with three zero zero zero zero men showed great

results which is a good ratio of anyone else for the women vicky a greek usually go with outstanding as well as her teammate you can see it in the who ruskin who unfortunately fail and shoot jumping over will result i think affluence should be pleased with. monday tuesday and wednesday were allocated to normal and disciplines in the men's women's and mixed relay events the latter brought russia another silver medal with you have the educational and city gate the i can win the honors for their country the women's relay was a failure for russia as the local trio finished in ninth place while thing hungary one gold in the men's relay the hunt garion spruiker once again that they're one of the world's strongest teams in modern pentathlon by claiming first place on the podium will the russians commish the events off the podium it could have turned out differently as they were in the lead until the showjumping piece led by the two time olympic champion and its wednesday eleven world championship winner and

a noise save the home team struggled with their horses and as a result they dropped from first to seventh place going into the final combine discipline which involves running and shooting a near perfect performance and the range bunch of russia from seven to fifteen the final standings while hungary south korea and ukraine won gold silver and bronze respectively i think we could have given a better performance here if it weren't for the relays we feel ensured jumping and not prevent. it goes from fighting for a higher place in the standings if we started to last the billions from a different position i think it will result would have been different to the whole world championship and more of the south one third that's a bit of your success for us as a male after a while or still have quite a lot of work to do on their skills after all the summer olympics. less than a year away. already and most adults. remembering this the end of the sport as well

sarkozy and british prime minister david cameron are the first foreign heads of state to visit khadafi freely bendis not surprisingly these two countries have indeed played a prominent role in the current leaving revolution that led to the colonels. out they were those who pressed for nato action to protect civilians against gadhafi troops least every week. literally france france's war plane was the first to fly in the a complaint of leave it to dogs and no fly zone over the country and france was also the first country to recognize the national transitional council even when you're for it speaking before thousands of people here in tripoli at the city's march to square the head of the antics the father literally. expert just days ago expressed his gratitude for these countries for all nato countries taking part in the military operation here in leave it especially for france for what's would they've done well it's not surprising that these. leaders are here

after what's happened here. same time the father. just ahead of this visit pledge that they will be saved and he's mentioned that because the situation security situation in the country and in the capital tripoli remains very complicated fighting continues for at least half a stronghold over the country including his hometown see some six hundred kilometers east of the capital tripoli and bani walid where they have tried. always supported qatar and even and while there's still remain several pockets of kit darby. loyalists even here in tripoli situation is very complicated by reports about that. and months

after tripoli fell into rebels hands those who back the old regime remain defiant but fearful in parts of the city the rebels triumphant campaign feels like it's never happened or did so somewhere else. who will do anything for moammar. even if we have to do. seven support for the ousted leader to solve once they see our camera yeah. like. now we're coming out with it tell them. why. it's the same situation with others. of his hundred percent good we don't want this revolution we don't know the rebels we want them to go away. we are from television so couldn't tell the camera no no thanks if i paid from a camera they will send the bill to my our war room the criminals you don't know

them you call them the rebels hey guys do you remember the black guy he was arrested a few days ago after here appearing on t.v. don't do that you flags new slogans news pages. and the rebels were out celebrating again this week when the head of the national transitional council libya's new authority arrives in the capital before large crowds even libyans in no doubt about who's really. the those who don't support mr fogg and who we used to see all across the city proudly waving green flags just weeks ago back in kentucky now trying not to leave their own backyards there. was. a very. tough it is effectively gone then you also have to settle down here in the capital

tripoli people are chanting that is new free country but it seems that there is at least one thing that still remains of all the their fear. one youngster finally agrees to talk. tripoli is now under the control of the national transitional council and we don't feel we have freedom to talk or. to express your opinion if we see something in favor of gadhafi who can kill us and the rest of us of course money are inferior to the nineteen year old says many of his friends have been arrested recently for making critical statements about a new regime ironically we're talking just a kilometer away from one of the dark is top secret jails for political prisoners known as abu salim. the rebels thing only represent themselves not the libyan people whose revolution started with killings to intimidate through fear their hands are covered in blood amnesty international has recently accused both gadhafi

is regime and the one which replaced it of committing war crimes including killings and torture of military prisoners and civilians trees are being felt by a son here that's more his in-store roof notion r t tripoli libya. i was just mentioning the french president nicolas sarkozy rather the british prime minister david cameron are now in tripoli with their delegation and that news conference at their hosting with the m.t.c. leaders is now currently under way to stay with r.c. all of the latest on balance well the u.s. says it's working with rebels to bed so i can recall weapons apparently missing from. its feared song could end up in the hands of terrorists james that as our loves of base runs from middle east politics and security issues says there are parallels from the. the really dangerous scenario is similar to what happened in

iraq in the fall of baghdad a very weaponized society people with automatic weapons in their homes as well as the looting of large scale military grade missions g.'s mortars and even materials and components of potential chemical weapons this is a very dangerous and ari considering the numbers of groups operating in libya present and the fluid nature of the situation so i believe that the transitional national council their first job is of course to finish off fighting in the areas that are still holding out very good at the second job is to give themselves legitimacy by getting the electoral cycle in under under god and a third job really is to prevent weapons perforation across the country that's a very difficult job. more opinions firsthand reports on the timeline of the libyan revolution just one click away at all to dogs on the latest updates on the story do you check out all of which indeed and expect part of our.

interview. in the. now the leaders of france and germany have to clear the reeses future lies with a year way back comments calling this the second bailout athens considered to be its last chance to avoid a disastrous default in the balance misstepped lines of a full scale recession have left and little patience for greece among its in a is but now threatening to stop it out payments in fact old economy economists are also a pessimistic some cause proppants to drop out the year is a building and is economic analyst on the coffin and tells r.t. the future of greece is stronger from secure and that carries potentially grave

consequences for the global financial system. we're hearing a lot more rumors about of the fall which is frightening but i think the most likely scenario is. again kick the can down the road france and merkel have been saying france germany and angela merkel have it and how about how they want to wait until at least twenty thirteen when the european stability. mechanism is in place so they have some sort of institutional framework to go with with a bailout so i think that eventually greece will default but i think that it's not going to happen on october seventeenth they're not addressing they're not creating a scenario where greece or greeks can say ok in five years and seven years whatever we have a viable plan to exit this this large that burden and go back into growth because right now the greek economy is in a collapse mode so there's no way they can service this that a lot of the american banks are on the other side of these derivative deal so they were ensuring that i was on the books the books of european banks so that in the

event of a default european bank would they would they would lose out on their bonds but then they would go to the american back and say give us the money because when you wrote the insurance should the u.s. special be on the hook because it's an empire that has the imperial currency. crisis. to its knees began exactly three years ago thank god america is full of biggest bank lehman brothers declared bankruptcy and now is saying oh well well i didn't have a crisis it's still raging how and that they really. are. street cleaning brothers has filed for bankruptcy stocks all around the world are tanking because of the crisis on wall street the more things change the more they stay the same how will lehman's bankruptcy filing really change the landscape of the entire banking industry in two thousand and eight wall street's bad bets and risky speculation led to the collapse of america's housing market and a financial crisis around the globe today thanks have grown more powerful and

profitable while the threat of a double dip recession has deepened if part of the problem was too big to fail and if part of the problem was high dependence on the financial sector if you fast forward three years we have even bigger financial institutions on which we're at least equally dependent so the structural problems are probably worse and certainly not a whole lot better washington sieved wall street with nearly one trillion dollars in government bailouts yet in the past three years critics say that washington has failed to effectively regulate wall street the financial industry can still trade and bet the same way it did thirty six months ago is still. the only differences they are worse is because these has been trillions of dollars worth. of the subsidies that were really a worse position than we were or this is what. america's great

recession has chipped away at the middle class exacerbated homelessness and resulted in at least fourteen million unemployed citizens. just last month zero jobs not one was creed meantime wall street executives broke records last year pulling in one hundred forty nine billion dollars in pay in compensation according to analysts the u.s. is approaching its highest level of inequality since world war one if you're not in the top ten or twenty percent you're significantly poorer than you were in two thousand and eight. two thousand and eight you were making one fifteenth as much money as the wealthiest people in united states we've seen you know corporate profits profits record breaking profits in some cases three years after the crisis and why is that they're taking the real us with investor you know investors' money depositors' money that they were taking before and why because they know

they'll be bailed out if there's a problem in two thousand and eight u.s. credit agencies failed to forecast the problem reading lehman as a secure investment just one week before its historic bankruptcy very little has changed with their business model the only thing that really has changed is that there's what's more skepticism towards them the collapse of lehman brothers ignited a perfect storm of economic distress and here around the world three years later problems the crisis remain on songs many economists are predicting that this means another economic collapse isn't just probable it's inevitable. we're not artsy. and as the world labors to avoid a dreaded double dip recession things are looking much brighter street because struction of an underwater cable between new york and london will speed up market trades six milliseconds well that calculates roughly one hundred million dollars more than your profits but they can best and that's not sitting well with financial

max keiser. is the training and this three hundred million pound project i mean high frequency trading is alluding. now this is what i don't understand why david cameron in the u.k. he castigates the looters and the rioters but all they're doing is emulating j.p. morgan bankers they're looting this is a high frequency trading looting and they're getting the government they're getting these people who are losing you know sticks of juicy fruit on the street because they're having their money stolen pay for high frequency trading looting of course they're going to be looting of course you. invited this into your own homes because you should poor looters at the banks in the city of loaded because david cameron looting he is in fact a terrorist is no they say that not to be clear but i say that as a point of fact cameroon and all born are terrorists or financial terrorists. and you can catch the cool kaiser port. city.

russia's election season just the way you prefer scoundrels already here one me with high hopes for the upcoming polls has already lost. i think head to becoming. a lesson i need businessman who is considering going into politics could learn from the sea change. course parties that a successful businessman does not necessarily equal a successful politician i promise several months of very ambitious police coke i'm paid and just two hundred months before the parliamentary election in russia. and dishes later the billionaire me hope broker of stuff to draw on this today that he quits the ranks of the party along with p.t. other members and he also spiced up the news with some very strong claims that legations that there were attempts by raiders as he called them to take control of the party and this is what caused the clutches in its ranks and he said of those

raiders working ministration of the president mbeki will be talking to mr putin personally and will come up with an ultimatum those people those probably caters should leave the ground very strong allegations a very bold step for a person was only making first steps on a political arena but what we're seeing is actually. clashes in the ranks of a political force and suddenly this has become somewhat but tradition with russia's right wing forces and now that. brother a believes the ranks of the party is no longer its leader it's not clear what part of the electorate the right course will give you a ring at all and secondly it's interesting what will happen with all the money. which is invested into these projects that we are talking about some thirty million dollars. a day that he'll be doing all used to pull the money out of the party now that he's left and he'll be forming

a new police force well we'll wait and see what will be the future of these yet another movement of this billion or turned politician. increasing in costs in the breakaway region are planning a new attempt to take over two border crossings in the dominated north a previous attempt to resulting clashes in which a policeman was killed. call for an emergency un security council to prevent a possible cleaned up and large scale on rats hospitals prime minister has responded by using service of plotting in the region russia's representative to the un told r.t. the international forces in the region seem to be taking sides and that isn't helping the situation. coming up next hour that his. intention was announced by the locals who are being you know sort of his and basically took the northern course of what by force saving all sorts of

arrangements because times situation of the administrative water between the serbia proper problems with also what potentially may create clashes and crisis is there another very disturbing element of the situation is that the international presence has which are there in order to preserve peace they seem to be cooperating with a very dangerous part of the world when you know sort of this so we hope that this meeting is going to pick place in order to prevent dramatic and dangerous development soon course of the book to me this will be a reality check on whether indeed the security guard. well we in the united nations are interested in preventing disputes and peaceful mediation. most of those you have to leave russia if you want to get to know it better this week a special series of artes russia claims that reports come from outside the country from norway's aircon archipelago russia owns about a third of the territory having developed

a remote call mining community there journalist five year period example of a week i went there and found out following the collapse of the u.s.s.r. the areas that actually become more important for russia. the cluster of violence between the devil and the deep blue sea put the use aside the skins bergen archipelago was a lot like puerto rico for the u.s. not entirely its own yet not fought for in a form pulls between north america and western europe and as many hold a future base for the russian advance in the arctic yet just a few words about this morning and. their lives of course. of course all of. the most western tourists this morning meant is a testament to the failed soviet and bishan the town of barons were once a flourishing mining community isn't a source they. get behind the stealing facade one can also see a freshly painted writing on the wall that russians are not cleaving in fact

they're back. it's a russian birthright to be here. at the second summer in a row that we tell each and cough a standing on to pittsburgh and decorating its kindergarten good depiction of russia as a narc is not to project an image of an unshakable state and merging from dire straits of history in a time that still experiences difficulties for its running water and electricity this choice of priorities would have been questionable if it wasn't geo politically timely it was. there was a time when the soviet union was feared and respected you can't turn back time but russia should also position itself as a strong state people who visit parents should feel like they've stayed russian soil. technically that's already the case russian settlements and spitzbergen have greener grass because of the several loads of black soil that was brought here for .
