eleven am in moscow i match reza good to have you with us here on r t our top story global media has been responding to the news that a lot of your putin will campaign to return to his old job as president next year he's been backed by russia's current president dmitri medvedev who's now aiming to replace putin as prime minister or he's a nice and now has more. the announcement itself not a very big surprise but how and when did it happen some analysts are saying it was the best kept little secret in modern history of course social networks went crazy with reaction if we take a look at some of the tweets that came immediately stateside from senator john mccain not a big surprise coming from him he of course a former presidential candidate in the u.s. in two thousand and eight says surprise surprise shocking news is running for president and then here in russia from a presidential aide our quote which we have nothing to be cheerful about it's

better to be playing ice hockey at luzhniki that of course is the stadium where the united russia convention took place and the announcement was made he goes on to say it's time to switch to a sports channel another another tweet from katrina vanden fugal who's the editor of the nation says they did it to replace. democracy russian style and that's what they were going to hear from a lot of analysts whether or not this is the path to russia creating its own democracy so to say not necessarily. taking that beat the western model that we see in the united states and western europe very different reaction on the social networks and this really is just the beginning i think it's fair to say this announcement happens on the weekends to throughout this monday we're going to be hearing a lot of different analysis about what this means with your pooch and running again for president in twenty two by putting doesn't joy a slightly higher approval rating than president medvedev it's about three percent

and really he is known for bringing stability to russia after the turbulent ninety's the russian citizens of course very much appreciate that ricardo from voice of russia radio had this to say he's got to start creating jobs just like other presidents other prime ministers have to do across the globe to start the russian economic engine. going again reset the economy there i don't think he needs to change this point he has been very. consistent as showing himself as a very strong decisive leader and he certainly has done the same with his protege obviously you know a prism of video from and this is the kind of political intelligence this is the kind of smarts that i think people respect whether the rim russia or the u.s. be shown to be very decisive very strong and has a vision for russia and i think that whether it's the u.s. or russia or any other country when you have a leader who has a vision and the strength of the people can see that's the that's the individual they want in office mates they did it we certainly have their work cut out for them

what they need to do now is convince the russian people that it's their tandem that will take process through the next decade and move past stability to further development. stay with us here on our team plenty more to come in the program including peace by veto in officials in washington of bullying u.n. member states into delaying the palestinian statehood bid as the security council gathers to discuss the matter what's. in the area because if you use it to know about shutting down facebook social network sites they're talking about the oil you'll soon measure this historic changes in the u.k. is the home office and police impose a ban on marching. but first euro zone leaders are preparing a rescue plan to prevent the escalation of the financial turmoil threatening to send the global economy back into recession this comes as the i.m.f. has warned it may not be able to help out bigger european economies that are

struggling to tackle their debt with a greek default now widely considered only a matter of time a priority is to prevent bigger states like italy and spain from being dragged down greece has been hit by another wave of public protests against government austerity measures but as our he's got agency but the i.m.f. is accused of being too tough on some countries while being too soft on others including the us where the two thousand and eight crisis began. the litter ship has changed but the method. i 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. for my head dominique strauss kahn said there forcing greece to pay back its debts would on acceptably impoverished the country and that everyone must be willing to accept losses on greek debt but philanthropy has never been the i.m.f.'s 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 principal and interest we're not in the business obsessed of subsidies we're not in the business of giving grants the us and europe are holding the most votes in the organisation and veto power despite the fact that emerging economies have been the engine of global growth in recent years the organisation's policymaking is 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 organisation proved completely redundant in the case of united they should have taken a much stronger position warning about the build up financial act that type of

economy. that right get out the gate and that hasn't completely dropped the ball and it must be able to monitor the rich. like united states as well as other countries it will lose its credibility some experts see the intimacy between the i.m.f. and us corporations as a matter of concern all of the big decisions at the i.m.f. are made by the us treasury department well even the head of the world bank has accused the top advanced economies of hypocrisy 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 well fracture to the detriment of all. the

old ways can and must change with the i met some wealthiest members themselves facing their own debt problems many doubt whether the organization will be able to take adequate measures to work off possibly another global price it's as well lending money to the world's weaker economies 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 what inform on our team. folk with russia's finance minister alexei kudrin who says in order to tackle the economic crisis countries in the west have to deal with what provoked it in the first place consumerism more of these thoughts in our interview coming up with a little more than an hour here's a preview. the king yes because the way western countries are vital has become somewhat outdated as huge consumption and little investments and savings have provoked this crisis at this point most western countries are not ready to

reduce their consumption and preserve the pre-crisis development path from this does not let them emerge from crisis on their consumption is not substantiated with real economic results because consumption is putting them into debt so western countries have this issue and they're trying to resolve it by printing money which only delays the solution. we can't predict when the economic point of view of this printing of money and supporting of artificial demand will help kick start the engine of the western economy so far this is not yet happened after all what the federal reserve system must do. now we can see the situation is becoming worse because those measures have not been enough and one can expect the printing of money will resume. but all the latest coverage of the turbulent financial situation around the globe at our web site r t dot com here's what's a click away right now. while your videos are protesting the occupy wall street

that it's been seen in lower manhattan that some are comparing to the american equivalent of the arabs or a. pastor suspended by his church for speaking out against one of the world's most wanted terrorists read all about it at r.t. dot com. palestinian euphoria following their statehood bid at the u.n. is beginning to fade as the security council prepares to discuss the case later today the palestinian authority has given me when chill weeks to decide on the issue after accusing the. u.s. of intimidating member states to bog down the big bureaucracy the shadow war promised american veto also hidings over the proceedings obama's vowed to prevent the recognition of any free palestinian state without the approval of israel

palestinian activists nor oday questions why israel would ever want peace with a stated how so comfortably occupied for so long as palestinians we have a very heightened sense of national pride at this moment and even though we know the veto is most likely coming out of the next week or the other really makes no difference but there is a very high sense of national and she's meant at this point because for one sound through 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 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 un resolutions then it's

pointless. events at the un have seen a torrent of criticism of america with many accusing washington of new heights of pandering to israeli interests this as a new report has emerged claiming president obama approved the transfer of fifty five high tech bunker buster bombs to israel only months into his term in office something that even the bush administration had refused to do according to author and historian william bluhm it's all about campaign fund it. well the u.s. has been given is the whole amount of moms who are decades and decades this is nothing new it's not based on logic i mean if you asked a rational explanation that is not what he is pro israel because of the money he gets in the us for his election campaigns he gets a fortune from the jewish lobbies and you have the visuals that's what motivates him and that's the only rationale he has and have to be logical about what he guns

consistence. the u.k. government has granted police the right to prevent far right groups from marching through several parts of london for thirty days scotland yard says it's applied for the bad over fears of violence and disorder planned by the english defense league earlier this month but as article and it reports its prompted concerns 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 it's an attack on the basic democratic rights in this country through september in six areas of london anyone marching like these people did last winter 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 bars for an entire month activist richard seymour sees a wider motive wants a bias past it 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 pen you in. a restroom very. small doses or non-offensive these people behind me are amongst the lucky few they still can march just by pure accident of geography we're here in lumberton which is not one of the six bars 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 to know about shutting down facebook social network sites they're talking about dictatorial civil war measures because what they're doing in britain is creating a historic change 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 argue it's no good just standing there you've got to be

able to march to make a statement as the unions did in march when more than a quarter of a million people turned out to protest the cuts 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 are one of the major opposed to that no public order legislation does tend to be used against striking workers i mean that's been very clear. there's been some recent examples of that people being pulled off the picket lines. obviously we can see any resistance to the cuts freedom of expression and dissociation are enshrined in u.k. and european law with the u.k. renowned for its powerful union organizations but the ban gives police the ultimate power to step in and arrest demonstrators merely for exercising their right to speak out against the government and that's a dangerous precedent to set your emmett's r.t.

london. take a look now at some other stories making headlines across the globe it is reeling from national and national transitional council is reportedly struggling to form a new government as fighting continues in the city of sirte still loyal to form leader moammar gadhafi the ongoing civil war has claimed the lives of an estimated thirty thousand people so far meanwhile in the capital tripoli a mass grave was uncovered. estimated to contain almost thirteen hundred bodies believed to be the remains of the inmates of khadafi top security prison abu saleh salim the sight of a massacre in one thousand nine hundred six. syrian tanks and machine gun positions have started the bombardment of the opposition held city of all rostov in the west of the country reports say three people so far been injured in the army's preparing to storm the city this follows a sharp spike in anti regime sentiment around the country with syria seeing some of its biggest protests in months president assad blames the arrest on foreign meddling aimed at the stabilizing the country. the french senate elections took

a historic turn with the left gaining enough seats to win control of the upper house it's the first time that's happened for more than fifty years the change comes just seven months before the presidential election and is a serious blow to president nicolas sarkozy and the conservative government. and spain where the last scheduled bowl fight in catalonia has entered ended in clashes between fans and anti bullfight campaigners scuffles broke out near an arena in barcelona after the end of the show there a ban on both fighting brought in by catalonia as parliament comes into effect in january after pressure from animal rights activists but many still see both fighting as part of their heritage and want the tradition preserved. at least one person is reportedly killed and several wounded in a militant strike on the u.s. embassy complex in the afghan capital the attack targeted the building used by the cia which has yet to comment a nato officer did say

a single isolated incident happened with the situation now under control it's the latest in a string of attacks on pub all taliban insurgents staged an assault on the us embassy two weeks ago leaving dozens killed and wounded just days ago a former afghan president and keep peace negotiator was assassinated in his home u.s. officials are blaming pakistan for the surge in military attack. but artie's military contributor thinks washington just doesn't want to admit it may be losing the war. 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. in the 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 the red have been hearing them for almost ten years on the other side the american told brass accusations against pakistani military and intelligence community has once again demonstrated to what extent the american intelligence leadership that has moved from langley to the pentagon has completely lost the dynamics of 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 u.s. foreign policy in pakistan has suffered a total and complete moral back 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 lay on. one of the most popular laughing stocks and scapegoats of the u.s. failure in afghanistan. in a few minutes our special report looking at life in a stoney a twenty years on from the demise of the soviet union but first kareen is up with the business news. power and welcome to business here in our team thanks for joining me this hour russian markets are sliding again after suffering shop losses last week jestingly news that i've been putting will be making another bid for the presidency and that is a quarter and could be stepping down as finance minister now more globally european

leaders have made some progress on agreeing the size of the bailout critically not not how it should be funded now let's get the latest on the russian markets from the peter all of you who is at the r.t.s. stock exchange right now hello again peter so one hour after the opening bell what's the mood like now. well the markets have opened down on monday this follows the well they had been hoping to try and reclaim some of the ground they lost last week really it was a torrid week for the russian markets hemorrhaging points on both the my six and the r.t.s. but what's the reasoning for this there are many different factors that have come together to cause this dropoff in the markets know a gloomy growth analysis from the united states didn't help things there was a knock on effect from boss bill so led to the big blue ball dropping some points against the dollar there's also the situation with the debt crisis in europe though

it's predicted that it could be around two trillion euros that's needed to bail out the debt written debt riddled i beg your pardon countries in the euro zone know this not in helping foreign investment coming into russia and also the if you still into the mix the fact that a lot to me of putin's announcing that he will run for the presidency in twenty twelve meaning that they could be a place for the current president to be to be made to get as prime minister something that finance minister aleksey could in says that he will not work under he said he wouldn't work on that. give us prime minister would rule the step down no this would be a significant blow to florida versus coming in to russia who did it is a highly respected finance minister both here in russia as well as abroad should he step down then not would cause how the not called affects so all of these factors coming together to produce what we're seeing right now which is a drop off in the russian law if it's ok peter although thanks very much and now

let's take a look at the figures that we see here in moscow the r.t.s. is down three percent on lies x. is losing over two percent this hour now let's have a look at some index movers on the my xix energy stocks among the worst performers in the week of crude oil majors well snapped is losing over two percent financials are also under pressure with country's biggest lenders where bank losing almost four percent in the red is almost four percent in the red and telecommunications giant telecom is no exception the company lists twenty five percent of its preferred shares in london. now european markets open in the red as well with financial stocks leading the losses both the forty and the dax are shedding over one and a quarter percent this hour and let's look at asia where stocks are also sharply down adding to recent losses as the lack of progress on solving europe's sovereign debt problems fuelled risk aversion and sent investors out of equities japan's

nikkei is down two point two percent catching up with a heavy selloff in asia on friday exporters and down with consumer electronics make a sony finishing over four percent lower and hong kong shares are also losing but hang sang down three percent. now let's take a look at the markets or was trading near the six weeks low investors are speculating that europe's sovereign debt will cut fuel demand and it supplies supplies brand and it is trading at one hundred three dollars a barrel and is at seventy nine dollars a barrel. now to other stories 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 supplies the parties agreed to hold an into government meeting in ukraine in october and ukraine claims it is paying too much under the current gas supply deal and wants to change the terms russia says is prepared to provide a discount but in return once

a stake in ukraine's pipeline network doesn't seem to have found the national energy security front believes is the simplest solution for kenya. we must solve the problem of. who will be the purpose of the problem will be the proper id all this biplane in my opinion is the most realistic way to give russia at this fifty percent in this pipeline system and russia will give serious discount because it's official position you do the merging of this from the gas price in ukraine will be the same as in russia now the price in rational you every price is approximately one hundred twenty dollars so three times cheaper than ukraine we saw very simple solution but if you crean. we'll be disagree with this proposal before we will still insist on discount without solving the problem of the pipeline system so my idea is very simple if ukraine doesn't want to give proper to a system soon ukraine will have no other choice but to give property on all equal

in europe with countries so the choice is very simple. that's all the business for now joining me for more on the market's performance next hour thanks to watch.
