and 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 out of right 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 and he said no way has more. the announcement itself not a very big surprise but how and when it happens some analysts are saying it was the best kept political 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 putin is running for president and then here in russia from iterative presidential aide our cards are
4:02 am
cold 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 probably time to switch to a sports channel ah another another tweet from katrina vanden fugal who's the editor of the nation says they did it to replace region for democracy russian style a lot so 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 the the western model that we see in the united states and in western europe have a 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 drop this monday we're going to be hearing a lot of different analysis about what this means pledging your future running against a president in twenty years by putting doesn't joy
4:03 am
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 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 east how to start the russian economic engine. going again resetting the economy there i don't think he needs to change or style 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 a person of good years and this is the kind of political intelligence this is the kind of smarts but i think people respect whether they're in russia or the us 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 that you have a leader who has a vision and the strength of the people can see that's the that's the individual
4:04 am
they want an office. they did it 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 through the next decade out stability to further development. with a lot of your putin widely expected to take over the kremlin again next year he would become the first russian president to serve a six year term but i know it's a lot of his hands for reform in the country if he wants to stay at the top bad for years to come pushing came out with their made major slogan stability now it's not time we still need to preserve stability but we wanted innovation something better for us coming out with so it will depend on how. able to push for innovation marginalization of the same type president's ability because now it's rather difficult time all over the world with their continuing crisis in the euro zone still uncertain is even in the emerging economies there are lots of talk about
4:05 am
him being a for twelve years for next to turn so if he wants to be for the two terms in power of course he has to make some progress over the next six years. stay with us here on r t plenty to come in the program including piece by video palestinian officials accuse washington of all u.n. member states into delaying the palestinian statehood bid as the security council gathers to discuss the issue what's. the feeling that the curfew is going to be shutting down facebook social network sites. we're talking about people you know who all measures historic changes in the u.k. is the home office and police impose a ban on march. 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 widened consider just
4:06 am
a matter of time the priority is to keep bigger states like italy and spain from also being dragged down greece has been hit with another wave of protests against government austerity measures but as our he's got a chicky on reports the i.m.f. is accused of being too tough on some countries for being too soft on others including the u.s. where the two thousand a crisis started 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 i thought are sale prices some new choice but to quote dificid know the i.m.f. for my hand domenic strauss kahn said that forcing greece to pay back its debts would unexpectedly impoverished the country and that everyone must be willing to accept losses some greek debt but philanthropy has never been the i.m.f.
4:07 am
strongpoint it's an institution where my main shareholder is the united states of america well any dollar any euro but 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 policy making is being under fire for being biased in favor of its top shareholders one of the functions of the i.m.f. is crisis warning in 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 states taking a much stronger position warning about the build up financial.
4:08 am
aid and that. completely. and. could monitor. it well if it was that ability some experts see the intimacy between the i.m.f. and us corporations as a matter of concern for all of the big decisions that are made by the us treasury department well even the head of the world bank has accused the top advanced economies if you caucus in their policies when countries with large fiscal deficits preach fiscal discipline the poor countries what are they really same 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. the old ways can and must change with the i mean it's the wealthiest members themselves
4:09 am
facing their own problems any 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's weaker connelly's the i.m.f. is still facing the challenge of offering viable solutions that cannot 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 we spoke with russia's finance minister alexei kudrin who says in order to tackle the economic crisis countries in the west africa deal with what provoked it in the first place out of control consumerism use thoughts and more in the interview coming up in about twenty minutes here's a preview. just because of the styles for the king yes because the 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
4:10 am
countries are not ready to reduce their consumption and preserve the pre-crisis development. this is not enough to merit from crisis and their consumption is not substantiate it really cannot get results and consumption is pulling in a debt so western countries have this issue and they're trying to resolve it and printing money which only delays the solution we can't you know predict will be economic point of view if this printing of money and supporting an artificial demand will help kick start the engine of the western economy so far this has not yet happened after all with the federal reserve system. now we can see the situation is becoming worse with those measures have not been enough and one can expect the printing of money will resume. the present mr global mood has been reflected in russia at least that last last week saw the market suffer some of the worst losses of the year yet for more on this let's go to our live to our business as
4:11 am
a green melican joins us ok is it all gloom in the world well russian market slide again in the morning trading after suffering shock losses last week when they are well with their fingers than isaac's felt proud pressac now they are trading mixed at the moment i just look at the figures for the gulf war started you see news that alex they could and could be stepping down as prime minister also suffering also back in the markets is news that european leaders have made some progress on agreeing guys of the bailout but not how it should be fun that we'll have more for you and others a quarter. of the way they see what about ten minutes correct. latest coverage of the turbulent financial situation around the globe commute found on our t.v. dot com here's what's a click away right now. watch the videos of protest of the occupy wall street that have been seen in lower manhattan and a movement some are championing as a us are prevalent of the arab spring but. i finished pastor suspended by his
4:12 am
church for speaking out against one of the world's most wanted terrorists all that and more a click away at archie dot com. very first verses of the bible that all human beings are created but some of it all came in god's image and it doesn't say just jews or god is. sixty to seventy percent of what i did as a combat soldier and actually territories was to do with deterrents doing what we call making our presence felt we go out should some bozo be here and i can see doors run to the other corner invade another house religion and nationalism not just judaism have been a part of the problem they've been part of what leads to. bloodshed if you want to bomb gaza and kill a thousand four hundred people in
4:13 am
a month and you want to expect that this will have no effect on their feet you have to be either extremely for extremists and. a few religious jew calling another jew and not the way they really did it. thanks for staying with us here on r t thirteen minutes past the hour in moscow palestinian euphoria following their statehood bid at the un is beginning to fade as the security council prepares to discuss the case later in the day palestinian
4:14 am
authority is giving the u.n. chill weeks to decide on issue after accusations the u.s. was intimidating member states to braga bid down in bureaucracy the shadow war promised us media law so hangs heavy over the proceedings president obama vowed to prevent the recognition of any free palestinian state without the approval of israel and i'm with the body a member of the west bank's fatah movement says negotiations are impossible if one side has no interest rates we have now the experience of the last nineteen twenty years that there is there a these are not serious in the good feeling with the palestinians they want to talk and build settlements they want. to carry on their earthly clichy in jerusalem and elsewhere the only plan through mutual understanding between all sides between the israelis and between the palestinians but the united states is also an important element because the pillar the washington axis is blocking the peace process in the
4:15 am
region washington stop its double standard policies it should also stop financing is the on all levels equipping is there as with the most life is the future blow up and palestinians are really fed up they have the fall for the for the last six thinking and more they want finally and that's why we are looking for palestinian statehood we are looking to establish a palestinian independence the alongside is the where both peoples can live in peace and harmony together. as obama struggles to contain fallout from the palestinian bid new reports have emerged that he secretly approved the transfer of fifty five high tech bunker buster bombs to israel to deal legibly happened only months into his term in office and was this something that the bush administration had rejected fearing israel could sell the technology to china but according to author a story in william bluhm for obama it's about campaign funding well the u.s.
4:16 am
has been given is we are all mounted on her and this is nothing new it's not based on a lark i mean if you have a rational explanation that is not what he is pro israel because the money he gets in the us from the us from campaign yes working with lobbies and you him to break. up the only rationale he has have to be logical. the u.k. government has granted police the power to prevent far right groups from marching through several parts of london for thirty days scotland yard says it applied for the bad over a few years of violence and disorder planned by the english defense league earlier this month but as our healer and it reports its profit concerns that a dangerous precedent has been set in terms of police authority 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
4:17 am
september in six areas of london anyone marching like these people to 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 baros for an entire month activist richard seymour sees a wider motive once the bias past. marches are going to happen it just means that. more powers and thus part of the wider problem but if you're restricted to a static construction the police have a right to pen you in. a restroom very easily. with small purses
4:18 am
or. 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 affected by the battle 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 so the talking about area curfews talk about shutting down facebook social network sites they're talking
4:19 am
about the kit or you'll see the war measures because what they're doing in britain is creating historic change never to break. the majority of the population will oppose them the home office can only stop marching it's powerless to prevent people from gathering but because organizations argue it's no good just standing that 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 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 the public or the legislation does tend to use to construction workers something that's very clear there's just there's been some recent examples of people being pulled off the picket lines and not to
4:20 am
obviously we can see any resistance to the cuts freedom of expression and dissociation are enshrined in the 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 demonstrates it merely for exercising their right to speak out against the government and that's a dangerous precedent to set your enemies r.t. london. take a look now at some other stories making headlines across the globe libya's ruling national presidential council is reportedly struggling to form a new government as fighting near the city of sirte still loyal to a foreign leader moammar gadhafi the ongoing civil war has claimed the lives of an estimated thirty thousand people so far in the capital tripoli a mass grave was uncovered estimated to contain all. thirteen hundred bodies believed to be died of the remains belong to the inmates of top security prison at
