europe this is somebody who cut all sorts of deals with the french but also the british and the italians and to a certain extent the americans as well i think they did not want him put on trial for any reason and i am not misled is that surprised that he was captured alive if you very quickly ended up dead that gadhafi is returning from diplomatic exile was spectacular hugs handshakes and kisses from the heads of countries which denounced him gadhafi is now silenced but the suspicion around those who laid out the welcome mat is far from buried i don't feel that his great to see it but the shooter dealing with him is constant and it. will go away or seriously becomes that this is an uncertain situation was sufficient will probably grow shrinks it may actually a romantic lead to a situation where they were true veterans then british prime minister tony blair

was instrumental in get to effie's rehabilitation bringing him in from the cold in two thousand and seven but blair didn't leave empty handed trade between them flourished so did the cozy relationship there was six more secret meetings off the player left office his people denying they were about releasing the lucky boma abdel baset al mcgraw he or britain would lose its lucrative libyan deals i'd regret myself enormously that gadhafi was but should he should have been said to the international criminal court put all the trial and force to all its questions for all the terrible things he did and if it davidge diva contemporary world leaders or previous regimes and leaders. we need to. walk. with. some details of the murky dealings have already emerged claiming the reputation of one of britain's leading universities the london school of

economics agreed to contract with the gadhafi regime worth over two million pounds to educate hundreds of its future civil servants the director was forced to resign and now the university of tripoli is demanding the money back french leader nicolas sarkozy was never shy in creating good data even letting him pitches tend to nearly say palace apparently for bankrolling sarkozy's path to the presidency so says this man the one who could still tell all that of course he had never had sarkozy must give back the money he took from libya to finance his electoral campaign we funded and we have all the details and are ready to reveal everything. seinfeld is a good afi son and key right hand man reportedly ready to surrender to the war crimes court so you he's going to have low information and i think we're so used that tony blair intervened formed to help him get his dodgy ph d. degree from the london school of economics one. degree or apparently was

plagiarized as a lot of things have gone on so you knows about get their fees wanted to answer for his own actions in libya's drawn out battle for control but it's what he could reveal about the diplomatic deals with his father keeping the western power players sweating after bennett r.t. london. and it's as agreed to ship out of libya by monday after the un decided to cancel the alliance is not that russia's envoy to the world body says this should pave the way to an independent country. hope that indeed a new chapter is being opened in libya and the libyan people will be able to take advantage of the new situation to build a new libya they desire. well the u.s. led alliance has been bombing libya since march under a u.n. resolution to protect civilians and carried out nearly ten thousand air strikes one of the last of which stopped

a convoy carrying colonel gadhafi allowing him to be captured or killed but the intervention doesn't end there tars now proposing to head international operations in libya once nato pulls out the well claims it's already deployed hundreds of troops in a support mission to the country well that moves not being sanctioned by which he's got to respond to qatar's offer. and still to come for you this hour the freedom of selective speech where in georgia where me to achieve say speaking up means being hounded out to seek asylum by the government doesn't like what you say. now the french president gunning for greece saying letting the beleaguered country join the euro was quote a mistake speaking after the emergency brussels summit nicolas sarkozy said greek membership of the currency club has pushed europe to the brink e.u. leaders decided on thursday to have greece's private sector debt to one hundred billion euros bags agreed to write off fifty percent of what they're owed european

banks must also have a bigger cash balance to guard against another crisis while the emergency bailout fund will be expanded to want trillion euros to help expand the rescue fund of the europe is hoping it to attract investment from asia but it would be a lot of fun cheap has visited china to persuade beijing to help finance to huge rescue economists there see the you you having a little choice but to turn to asia for help. we welcome you chris this side of the phone march we have to seek out help i think it will be involved degree of all the european market major export market of chinese of course china needs to worry about the possible default trying to needs to make sure that it doesn't lose money because of the turbulence in. europe. well coming up later in the program. our georgia works hard to maintain

a positive image of a country that welcomes free speech and open minds but that's not the experience of local media there many of whom would feel a hand on their shoulder for say quote the wrong things are reports. recently those who make the news in georgia have been becoming the news john doe none a touch willie or the founder of an opposition t.v. station applied for french political asylum just days before nicolas sarkozy arrived on a visit but he was disappointed. i contacted the french embassy and i was sure my problem would be resolved quickly but i was mistaken they didn't make an appointment and i had no news from them if they don't contact me in the near future i'm determined to go to other embassies. tria letty t.v. is a small station in the north of georgia john doe and his staff say it's mikhail saakashvili as government that's pushed him to apply for asylum he says they're putting

pressure on him because of his channels criticism of policy and pressure in opposition views as well as those of the government all of that is then look we have to work on difficult conditions as we cannot get any comments at all from officials when a government official gives a press conference reporters from other channels are allowed inside to do their job but to lead to reporters are denied entry where are clearly being discriminated against. the georgian government strenuously denies the claims and others doubt his sincerity sunburn john doe no tash believes asylum request are published that he stunned but he's deadly serious consistent with jordan all four of these are after him just because of what he and his channel say and judging by the record in recent years he's not the only one in two thousand and nine the widow of former georgian president appealed to germany's angela merkel for asylum a numerous others have left the country trill letty has need of the resources nor

the audience to seriously compete with the large pro-government channels but john doe's say's he's sure about the government's reasons. it's because we're in opposition. they want us to give in and work for them to promote them but i can't stoop to that. this is the symbolism of the frustration felt by mr bush and his fellow opposition media a mock funeral dementing as they put it the death of free media. although i will as you know tonight is a big night for the bolshoi theatre it's reopening after six years of being under renovation ever looking at live pictures there we've been watching pictures of the gas coming into the new renovated ball for theatre and that it was closed in two thousand and five and there's been a lot of scandal a lot of drama behind it but tonight is finally the first performance after all

that restoration work it's back according to those who have been handling the restoration it's back to its nineteenth century splendor and the show that they have tonight is going to be showing the magnificence of this hall according to those who have been getting the reopening and they're expecting to have classical performances showing the greatness of the era the sorrow. they want to show past shows doing it in a rather modern way right now you're looking at some very interesting pictures actually we don't see the ballet tutu's right now but this is the show at the bolshoi theatre a lot of important guests in the crowd including russian president dmitri medvedev . there are four i mean this is only got to those people who want to watch it while of course you can watch it live on a restraining it on our t.v. dot com and also if you're here in moscow you can go right in front of the ball

and welcome to business r.t. this friday evening good to have your company cracks are beginning to appear in global equities rally sentiment was given a significant left by this week's proposals from e.u. leaders on combat in euro zone debt crisis however as peter weston from out on suggests the bullish attitude could prove to be short lived. given that a lot of clients are sitting on cash we could see a little bit of a continuation of this rally i think it's very weak into foundation the sort of optimism that we've seen on the back of what happened in europe i think is very fragile because now what people will be doing is looking ahead and basically asking ourselves with other countries knocking on the door for and it's kind of example and then we're back to the same agenda again there also as far as i understand a few issues regarding the facility increase that has not been decided yet so i don't completely out of the woods but for now that seems to be the sentiment and investors are voting with the money and this could maybe continue for

a little bit but it's looks fragile to me. it's a good idea to take a look at those figures right now well is although it has come back a long way from what we see in the drops that we've seen around an hour ago prices did drop of to around one half percent after japanese factory productions declined four percent in september analysts expect crude to decline for the next week brant is just six cents under one hundred eleven dollars per barrel light sweet is declining twenty five cents for. u.s. markets are mixed this hour they work correcting after a very bullish session on thursday the dow is still heading for the best monthly gain in twenty four years it's now point one percent european markets are correcting after the previous sessions rally although the dax has indeed come down they're pretty flat the banks have shown strong performance in the morning but have
