video on demand keys my. street with the palm of your. dot com. from rebels to radicals libya's new chapter sees a surge of extreme islam after nato is fight for democracy in washington seems unconcerned about what's next now the gulf is gone. the race to stop europe from drowning in a sea of debt as i.m.f. chief heads to moscow to see if russia can come to the rescue. of. true russian tycoon titan slug it out over six and a half billion dollars and their reputations on t.v. reports in the high cost drama playing out in london's high court.

and online twenty four hours a day this is a variable unwelcome libya as opposed to gadhafi world are showing up towards radical islam with strict sharia law or an al qaeda evidence there is barely a week since nato moved out of the town paint a swipe at the democracy. he western seemed too concerned about the shape it's taking. next trains why. here first question leader not so long ago the u.s. media presented leading rebels as freedom loving folks yearning for democracy after could obvious killing their narrative changed you know you talk about this arab spring and many people here as a move towards democracy but really that is not exactly what's going on it seems the u.s. media just woke up to the young holding human rights disaster in the region libya's new rulers are at risk of being accused of the same kind of abuses before to

overthrow an al qaida flag planted on a lady and courthouse steered quite some panic and not just that you had the interim leader coming out saying he hoped it would become an islamic state that polygamy was going to be illegal again consistent with sharia law sharia law to include punishments such as cutting off the hands of thieves the heading convicted murderers and rapists stoning to death adulterers shari'a law which is about to be introduced in libya is considered to be for the most part incompatible with democratic values especially when it comes to women's rights but many experts believe that whatever the new libyan government's domestic policies it will not stop us from making nice with saudi arabia for instance has the most extreme form of sharia law our women are not allowed to drive cars they're not allowed to vote and crime for adultery for women is the death penalty in saudi arabia and none of this seems to bother the powers that be in washington why because saudi arabia does

the bidding of the united states in this oil rich region being a dictatorship and not a democratic state america is a big belly big supporter of sort of arabia that just shows that really don't care for working with democracies or working with dictatorships looking with secular governments or religious governments where we care about is our interest in the region bring another u.s. ally in the region it hosts america's states. also leaves on the shari'a law and as a. questionable human rights record and will we be are those in power or are there only things to me and particularly the united states the media here had generally been supportive of the campaign to topple gadhafi but now that he's gone why the sudden concern about human rights in libya maybe i don't all have it so well demonstrated in the run up to the iraq war when the media cheered first and then when it was too late when the war was full on started asking questions and we say human rights in libya was never

a top priority for those english in print who called the shots and threw their support behind the current government i'm going to take our reporting from washington r.t. . embattled greece will soon have a new team to try and get it out of its financial quantum our leaders agree to form a coalition that means the prime minister george will finally step down and successor on monday getting the. key to securing the main opposition coffers and. they've gotten just a few months to force cuts which sparked widespread protests the u.s. team has approved. the action extraordinary coalition a plan that came from him a short clips at home and abroad by declaring during a referendum and speculation the finance minister his job names may also be true and it's something. they must up postable presumed to have to be the leader in

this new government will be mr look at the most he's sixty four years old he's up x. vice president in that european central bank is not a politician he is a technocrat according to the plan is to be the prime minister and out there for you to see and make their comrades to be our own team. but the most is a personality i'll go to respected in the whole of the euro zone in the whole european you. and he's the person who knows very well how to react in this difficult situation analysts here in greece after the announcement say that more austerity measures are expected because nobody will give us money because the government is going to change this means that greece the greek us citizens are going to suffer more now seem to be desperate they want to go on the lakes and

because they think got so far from this coalition government february we're going to have our liking for a new government but of course we have to pay for the debts maybe the european union should have reacted earlier because in the past we have heard even mr barroso into other of the selfsame talking about sudar e t and cook rationing big european union and now with the ride out this is the blight and greece suffers even italy suffers which is bigger economy and probably will create more probably for sure it's procreates more poor problems the whole eurozone. president has repeatedly called on the europe's leaders to get closer to each other to save their finances. doing so but one former british government minister tells r.t. but such ties should have been sorted out long before the single currency was. my producer you have based on fact. because it doesn't have political realities the

whole problem with this crisis is it was created by the europeans themselves because you could not have a single currency without a political union they knew they couldn't get away with a political union and so they disappeared to the equivalent of las vegas and signed up to and maybe a proposition which is to have a unified cards with no unified policies but if we're going to get rid of unemployment in greece we're going to have to get the price down in a song as everything is priced in europe is that will never be possible to happen therefore best thing if i was agree i would be down to get a graph to get out of this because what happens that's still in the or is it so that french banks say to heck not. but they're still stuck with lyrics. like that would have more from britain's been just another start here and not.

leaders of the world's twenty biggest economies very much have greece's dismal finances close to hamas as its debts continues to drag everyone else down they agreed to prop up the international monetary fund and its chief is bringing the crisis talks to russia to present on monday where the country is keeping an eye on developments for us here and because you know what there's russia which could help you rip through struggles. russia has what europe now needs most money out of the arm of us here in moscow to ask for russia's help russia paid the last portion of its sturtz of the i.m.f. in two thousand and five and since that has been contributing to the organization by providing money to countries which experience it could only have difficulties or even default as it is now the case with grist for the recent developments in greece of the euro crisis in general so many to the g twenty summit in cannes last week

and the leaders did agree to bolster the role of the i.m.f. and other financial institutions to save the euro and eurozone and one of the hopes for the euro is help from the merging economies from the brics including russia and although the european crisis doesn't directly have but they did promise to come up with financial support we better to great on the song but as far as wash is concerned we're talking because of potential contribution which could exceed ten billion dollars however president did make it clear that what is comes to a halt to europe from the brakes there is one condition and that is that these halt should be transparent and targeted that means helping the european countries not directly about the international institutions and about. all the voice of the greats needs to be heard within the i'm a and other financial bodies and the russian president also supported the decision by the european leaders to bolster

the fund to the bailout fund from four hundred forty billion euros to one trillion euros of we should remember as well that russia itself keeps almost forty five percent of its international reserves in euros. but i know of course the world's economic current focus does appear to be shifting eastward says say what could russia expect to get in return from the i.m.f. . well just like other greeks russia is lobbying for the reform of the i.m.f. and its regulator board and moreover the brakes are pushing towards the british should you should all the i.m.f. numbers should quotas by january twenty four teams the main criticism of this international organization is similar to that of the g twenty the g twenty remember it was created to have behaved of the international financial crisis in two thousand and eight and it was managed to widen the spectrum of the countries that put in their voices trying to help with global economic solutions but as many

critics say this hasn't happened yet but the head of the i.m.f. was no visiting moscow christine lagarde earlier said that she supported the idea of reforming the i.m.f. and also agrees that quotas for the countries with rapidly growing economies should be in christe the international monetary fund was created in nine hundred forty five and currently i am i have commitments amounts almost three hundred billion dollars in loans with greece portugal and ireland the major borowitz. chaos he's got a rich over in central moscow ny for us here frank you. brought us to the head for you this hour where in india where disaster victims became a drug company guinea pigs. chemical tragedy kill thousands and survivors who thought they were getting medication when he tasted it instead. and that is lifted

it was the cia campaign to promote and full stir we just had the fires as newer drug dealers that spurred an expanded drug war right at the beginning of the end i saw regev hand in afghanistan and as such providing their funds for the united states covert operations the united states is solely responsible for afghanistan converting scenes the beginning of the operation enduring freedom into their bottomless pits and the epicenter of the global narco threat to the security and stability of the whole world. there's a further fall out from one of the world's worst industrial disasters more than a quarter of a century on the chemical gas leak at a us plant in group road in india killed an estimated twenty thousand people at the survivors faced for the agony being used to test drugs they thought were for treatment but he sure has the story. even after twenty five years residents

incident we became very sickly. improved after the leak many indians were wary of foreign companies but it turned them into prime candidates for clinical trials they thought they were getting treatment but doctors often used experimental drugs without them knowing the patients apparently consented by signing papers in english they didn't understand and many say they never sign anything at all for each participant in a clinical trial the doctor received around two thousand dollars this is bhopal memorial hospital the place where the victims from the gas leak of nineteen eighty-four were treated it's also the place where clinical trials of medications took place about eighty percent of those are believed to have been done on gas victims r t of change documents that show at least six trial programs that took place in bhopal between truthout and four and two thousand and eight. profile would

be ironic that after the victims of the worst chemical disaster in which some of the largest pharmaceutical largest i think national corporations the war against the victimized by another set of multinational corporations pharmaceutical corporations true vast love became suspicious when he was repeatedly asked to bring one of two bottles of medicine back a common practice in clinical trials. they didn't tell us the name of the medicine but told us that we were given trial drugs and medicines had numberous repeated requests by r.t. to speak to the government or popal memorial hospital were denied experts say that medical testing on people needing actual treatment is an ethical unsafe and unscientific and documents show that at least eleven people who are unknowingly took part in the bhopal trials died after taking the drugs when you grow crowds on

whose entities have not even been assessed let alone treated you are taking a great risk today srivastav still waits for justice. because of the i'm slowly losing my sight i cannot work for money either from breathlessness. a lot to suffer a double tragedy. there are t. bhopal india. and of course we have more stories for us all is he on line you can see a millions of russian muslims are part of the most important religious festivals as probation celebrations for the. us and dot com. also online hollywood has another spy story in its sights and style in the life and death of a poisoned former k.g.b. officer in south america also ahead for aussies new cheap child's progress to be able to see.

his protege the all important leg up into the world of the super rich and we now know he was paid for his troubles but mr a says that was just protection money and knowing they were ever business partners and saqlain this case rides on but there's no concrete evidence after all this was ninety's russia none of their deals were written down five weeks in and i've counted a cost of nine billionaires five russian one cause one is becky paul israeli one british the crown prince of abu dhabi is suddenly involved for transferring one point three billion dollars from one to the other not to mention huge oil strange deals because of meetings that maybe never happened the whole thing's extraordinarily bizarre you try and place the whole thing together which becomes another difficult task because you don't know how much of this is even anyway true according to mr pease lawyers mr a has hidden his billions in a complex web of shore holdings so even if mr b. does win he'll have

a difficult task extracting any money is so much at stake it's painstaking progress the battles expected to go on into the new year after bennett r.t. london. for the pastor is here now with all the business news. it's twenty four minutes past nine am here in moscow are you watching the business bulletin on r.t. it's taken almost two decades of talks but now russia looks ready to join the world trade organization and countries in a final round of in formal negotiations and living out their remaining issues and decision on russia's number ship is expected by the end this week at the yellow or from alpha bank outlines the benefits russia would get my drift. that would too and for all of us a bill to have access to global technologists and the cheap excess. high high

technology equipment which had the mormons are such a hot relatively high import duties and in general you know the regime of management the cost them terrorists on these in this area will become more transparent this is definitely was if to support investment growth in russia and i think second big benefits is a w. and free will potentially or possible to russia they're always. saying they're worried or window for russia to become in the way more important you know on their own the global political political level. and you know west bank anton believes. place would make russian companies more competitive i think the major point to be can be made when it comes to the sort of increased competition from our side players is that i have a feeling there's a lot of improvement cost cutting efficiency to be done in russian companies to

actually cope with this so if you want to be really hard on this i mean i i do think that these inflows doesn't actually provide a threat they provide an opportunity for companies to make themselves more efficient more transparent and to be more effective on the cost side this huge level of restructuring efforts that can be done in russian companies that could offset some of these local threats from four years and the major thing here is for the consumer increase competition is lower prices and i would believe that's the most important thing with it public. european debt remains one of the dominating issues for the markets this week as we heard earlier greece's embattled prime minister george papandreou was about to step down after his aborted plans for a referendum on the european bailout investors in there are waiting to see who is brave enough to step into the brochure the decision is expected late on monday the new government's main task will be to pass the european rescue package
