12:02 am
turbulent ninety's but a very mixed reaction of course social networks went crazy he's now once the announcement came if we look at twitter we heard almost immediately from president made today divs presidential aides are kind of bar code which you wrote nothing to be cheerful about it's better to play ice hockey at luzhniki that of course the stadium where this announcement took place it's high time to switch to a sports channel he says and then stateside we heard which is not surprisingly from senator john mccain of course formal presidential candidate himself in two thousand and eight he says surprise surprise shocking news buton is running for president again and then if you look at some of between citrine quite a lot the editor in chief of the nation katrina vanden huber one of her most interesting i think it's fair to say treats was made today to have to replace putin democracy russian style and that's something we're going to hear a lot about is it time russia can now have its own style of. democracy not
12:03 am
necessarily following the western the western model of what the us in western europe calls democracy very very different reactions on twitter some negative some positive as with other social networks around the world you don't know who's been out of the kremlin for nearly four years as he still is popular with the russian people as he was before certainly he was out of the spotlight with his post as prime minister. indeed prime minister putin as president and now as prime minister shares i say enjoys a slightly higher approval rating than president medvedev it's about three percent i am like i said he is known for having brought stability and it's believed by most of the russian people that he can maintain stability although it has to be said his image video his political party which president medvedev is now going to be leading through the parliamentary elections december united russia has been dropping its approval ratings recently but certainly this this platform looks to belittle and
12:04 am
green russia further to bring russia through to i should say further development is going to make it very easy for him to be able to make it back to the press. or he's a nice and i want to live for us outside the kremlin in the central moscow thanks for that report. stay with us here on our team we've got plenty more coming your way including a piece by a veto washington stands accused of bullying u.n. member states to delay the palestinian statehood bid as the curity council gets ready to discuss the issue plus. the people who live here the curfew to know about shutting down facebook social network sites. to know about the. historic changes in the u.k. is the home office and the police impose a bad on margin. but first the i.m.f. has warned it may not be able to come to the rescue of bigger european economies that struggle to tackle baird. deb this follows growing fears of financial turmoil
12:05 am
threatening to send the global economy back into recession with a greek default now widely considered a matter of time the priority is to keep the bigger states such as italy and spain from being dragged down as well greece has been hit by another wave of public protests against government austerity measures but as our he's got it's tricky on reports from washington the i.m.f. is accused of being too tough on some countries while being too soft on others like the u.s. where the crisis began in two thousand and eight the leadership has changed but the methods have not for a desperate economy the i.m.f. still offers the same bitter medicine of draconian budget belt tightening reeses push to redouble its austerity efforts at a time of deep economic recession and to sell a vast chunk of public assets at fire sale prices some have no choice but to cut dificid know the i.m.f. form a hand domenic stress con said that forcing greece to pay back its debts would unacceptably
12:06 am
impoverished the country and that everyone must be willing to accept losses some greek debt but feel lancer p. has never been the i.m.f. so strong point it's an institution where my main shareholder is the united states of america well any dollar any euro that is invested in the fund goes buck. to the member principle and interest we're not in the business obsessed of subsidies we're not in the business of giving grants the u.s. and europe are holding the most votes in the organization and veto power despite the fact that emerging economies have been the engine of global growth in recent years the organisation's policy making it's been under fire for being biased in favor of its top shareholders one of the functions of the i.m.f. is crisis warning and prevention but when three years ago the financial crisis in the us was sending devastating shock waves throughout the world the organization proved completely redundant in the case of united they should have taken
12:07 am
a much stronger position in warning about the build up financial that. that write it up. completely dropped the ball and it must be able to monitor the rich and like united states as well as other countries it will lose its credibility some experts see the intimacy between the i.m.f. and u.s. corporations as a matter of concern all of the big decisions at the i.m.f. are made by the u.s. treasury department well even the head of the world bank has accused the top advanced economies if you congress in their policies when countries with large fiscal deficits preach fiscal discipline the poor countries what are they really saying do what i say not what i do when countries pay homage to free trade but hold back developing countries with barriers what do they really say do what i say not what i do a do what i say not what i do world will fracture to the detriment of all. they
12:08 am
always care must change with the arguments the wealthiest members themselves facing their own problems many doubt whether the organization will be able to take adequate measures to work off possibly another global crisis as well lending money to the world weaker connelly's the i.m.f. is still facing the challenge of offering viable solutions that do not come with crippling measures but one thing is clear the world demands an i.m.f. that does not work solely for the benefit of the few i'm going to check out with forty four more r t. and r t spoke with russia's finance minister alexei kudrin who says that in order to tackle the economic crisis countries in the west have to deal with what provoked it in the first place consumption more on those thoughts and our interview coming your way in about twenty minutes here is a pretty. the way western countries are vital has become somewhat outdated has huge consumption on little investments and savings have provoked it was crosses at this
12:09 am
point most western countries are not ready to reduce their consumption and preserve the preacher prances development. this does not left america from crisis in your consumption is not substantiated with real economic results this consumption is going to be so western countries have this issue when they are trying to resolve money which only delays the solution. we can predict from the economic point of view is distributing of money and supporting an artificial demand will help kick start the engine of the western economy so far this is not yet to happen after all what the federal reserve system is don't know we can see the situation is becoming more just because those measures have not been enough and one can. resume. all the latest coverage of the turbulent financial situation around the globe can be found on our website our team dot com here's what else is a click away for you right now to watch the videos of protests and the occupy wall

street. scene in lower manhattan a move that some are champney championing as the u.s. equivalent of an arab spring plus. a finnish pastor suspended by his church for speaking out against one of the world's most wanted terrorists read all about it. soon from funds to. screen stocks on t.v. . twenty years ago in the largest country.
12:11 am
to serve two cases of. what had been trying. to teach began a journey. where did it take the. wealthy british style it's time to. market. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines two kinds of reports. with us here on our team palestinian euphoria after their statehood bid at the u.n.
12:12 am
is beginning to fade as the security council prepares to discuss the case. later today the palestinian authority has given the un two weeks to decide on the issue after accusations that the u.s. was intimidating member states to bog down the bid to the bid in bureaucracy the shadow of a u.s. veto also hangs heavy over the proceedings obama vowed to prevent the recognition of a free palestinian state without the approval of israel or pro palestinian activists nor oday questions why israel would want peace with a state it's comfortably occupied for a very long. as palestinians we have a very high concerns of national pride at this moment and even though we know the veto is most likely coming out what very next week or the others really makes no difference but there is a very high sense of national achievement at this point because for one of those very disappointing years of the so-called peace process the political leadership and the popular popular public opinion are in line and they're in an on one side of
12:13 am
the political debate if you will going back to negotiations is not something palestinians oppose on principle but if we go back to negotiations with our occupiers and that's what israel is without any terms of reference without israel clearly committing to international law clearly committing to its obligations according to international law and relevant u.n. resolutions then it's purely pointless. events at the u.n. have seen criticism leveled at the u.s. with many accusing washington of pandering to israeli interests this is a new report has emerged claiming president obama approved the transfer of fifty five high tech bunker buster bombs to israel just months into his term of office something that even the bush administration had refused to do according to author and historian william blair it's all about campaign funding. well the u.s. has been giving israel all amount of obama's her decades and decades this is nothing new it's not based on logic i mean if you asked
12:14 am
a rational explanation that is not what he is pro israel because of money he gets the us his election campaign gets a function to jewish lobbies and jewish individuals that's what motivates him and that's the only rationale he has and have to be logical. inconsistency the u.k. government has granted police the right to prevent far right groups from marching through five london boroughs for thirty days scotland yard said it's applied for the ban over fears of violence and disorder planned by the english defense league earlier this month as archie's or am it report has prompted concerns that a dangerous precedent has been set in terms of police power and freedom of expression. the view of workers activists on the home office ban on marching is clear. in this country through september in six areas of london anyone marching like these people did last winter
12:15 am
is liable to be arrested and fined or even imprisoned. the ban was prompted by plans by the anti muslim english defense league seen here in luton in february to march through tower hamlets the area with the highest concentration of muslims in the country but instead of banning one march on one day the home office banned all marches in six baros for an entire month activist richard seymour sees a wider motive. doesn't necessarily mean to say that march isn't going to happen it just means that the police more powers and that's part of the wider problem but if you're restricted to a static demonstration the police have a right to. arrest very. small princes or non-offensive these people behind me are amongst the lucky few they still can
12:16 am
march just by pure accident of geography we're hitting lumbers which is not one of the six baros affected by the ban but if as many fear the government extend and widen the ban to take in more parts of london the scenes that you see behind me both small and large marches through london and many other cities across the country could be a thing of the past the band comes hot on the heels of widespread rioting in many english cities in august it also coincides with the introduction of government austerity measures which some say amounts to the dismantling of the entire welfare state many say public fear of civil unrest is being manipulated to prevent unions from turning out to protest fierce cuts and pat. reagan from the workers revolutionary party says it's just the tip of the iceberg to the talking about area curfews that talk not about shutting down facebook social network sites they're
12:17 am
talking about it or you know civil war measures because what they're doing in britain is creating a historic change in which inevitably. the majority of the population will oppose them the home office can only stop marching it's powerless to prevent people from gathering but workers' organizations are good just standing that you've got to be able to march to make a statement as the union did in march when more than a quarter of the million people turned out to protest because activists say that's exactly what the government's trying to stop just in terms of where we are at the moment in this country with the process of the stereotyping pushed through by the government trade unions or one of the major books opposed to that public order legislation does tend to be used against striking workers i mean that's been very clear i mean there's just there's been some recent examples of people being pulled off the picket lines and not to obviously we can see any resistance to the cuts freedom of expression and dissociation enshrined in the u.k.
12:18 am
and european law with the u.k. renowned for its powerful union organizations but the ban gives the police the ultimate power to step in and arrest demonstrators maybe for exercising their right to speak out against the government and that's a dangerous precedent to set your enemies london. take a look now at some other stories making headlines across the globe libya's ruling national transitional council is reportedly struggling to form a new government as fighting continues in the city of sirte still loyal to the fall of leader moammar gadhafi meanwhile in the capital tripoli a mass grave was discovered estimated to contain almost thirteen hundred bodies it's believed that the remains belong to be in the. it's of khadafi top security prison abu salim where there was a massacre in one thousand nine hundred six. to find a yemeni leader ali abdullah saleh has called for early presidential and parliamentary elections the moves unlikely to satisfy protesters who've been

contributor thinks washington doesn't want to admit that it may be losing the fight . during the latest u.s. senate's armed services committee testimony admiral mullen and the new u.s. secretary of defense leon panetta jointly accused of the pakistani military and specifically the pakistani intelligence i saw i in a connivance and complicity in orchestrating the hakani network attack against the united states embassy in afghanistan there was nothing new in these accusations and allegations except that there is been hearing them for almost ten years old the other side of the american told brass accusations against pakistani military and intelligence community has once again demonstrated
12:22 am
to what extent the american intelligence leadership that has moved from langley to the pentagon has completely lost the dynamics and the overall picture of a clear and present danger to the interests of the united states in the region specifically in afghanistan and pakistan in the last decade the us foreign policy in pakistan has suffered at total and complete blowback its mixture of threats and complaints and military and financial incentives turned out to be totally counterproductive and personally it has made the highly respected flag officer admiral michael mullen and his new boss. one of the most popular laughingstocks and scapegoats of the u.s.

failure in afghanistan. interview in sports coming up but kareen is first with the business news stay with us here on r.t. . hi welcome to our business here not to thanks for joining me ukraine says it has achieved significant progress in natural gas talks with russia president viktor yanukovych met russian leaders late saturday to discuss the terms of gas transit and supplies the parties agreed to hold it into government meeting in ukraine in october crane claims it is paying too much under the current gas supply deal wants to change the terms russia says it's prepared to provide a discount but in return wants a stake in ukraine's pipeline network doesn't seem enough from the national energy security fund believes it's a simple solution for kiev. we must solve the problem of. who will be the purpose of the problem will be the proper id all this pipeline in my opinion is the most
12:24 am
realistic way to give russia at least fifty percent in this pipeline system and russia will be a serious discount because its position you do measure of this from the gas price in ukraine will be the same as in russia now the price and rational use every price is approximately one hundred twenty dollars so three times cheaper than ukraine use a very simple solution but if you crean. will be disagree with this proposal if you will still insist on discount without solving the problem of pipeline system so my idea is very simple if ukraine doesn't want to give property on a system soon ukraine will have no other choice but to give property on all the quantity of his country so the choice is very simple. last week was one of the worst for russia's markets this year the artist fell sixteen percent while the my six was down twelve percent now local traders suggest equities will continue to be highly volatile here with risk on the downside even so
