entirely true when sufficiently tortured the fictional a good good how would international flood to cheat every green to kill. from rebels to radicals that libya's new chapter sees a surge of extremist author nato's fight for democracy washington seems unconcerned about what's next now gadhafi is gone. the race to stop europe from drowning in a sea of debt as the i.m.f. chief heads to moscow to see if russia can come to the rescue of. two russian tycoon titans slug it out over six and a half billion dollars and their reputations party reports on the high cost drama playing out at london's high court.

costing live twenty four hours a day this is our team welcome to the program libya's opposed to gadhafi world is showing a lurch towards radical islam with strict sharia nor and al qaeda flags in evidence that it's barely a week since nato moved out of the campaign to stop a dictator for democracy and some of us seem too concerned it's taking on a chicken explains why. shere first question leader not so long ago the us media presented leading rebels as freedom loving folks yearning for democracy after kentucky's 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 us media just woke up to the young building human rights disaster in the region libya's new rulers are at risk of being accused of the same kind of abuses before

to recruit an al qaida flag planted on a levy and courthouse steered quite some panic and not just that you have 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 just cutting off the hands of thieves the heading convicted murderers and rapists stoning to death adulterers sure real one 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 leader governments domestic policies it will not stop the u.s. from making nice with saudi arabia for instance has the most extreme form of sharia law women are not allowed to drive cars are not allowed to vote the 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 so many arabia does the bidding

of the united states in this oil rich region. ship and not a democratic state america's egalitarian export of saudi arabia just shows that really don't care for working with democracies or with working with dictatorships or working with secular governments or religious governments or we care about is our interest in the region but green and other u.s. ally in the region it hosts america's stiffly and also leads on the shari'a law and as a. questionable human rights records and still e.d.m. those in power are their only things to needle 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 dissidents are about human rights in libya maybe out of all have been 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 only say human rights in libya was never

a top priority for those in washington who called the shots and threw their support behind the currently being government i'm going to take our reporting from washington. but embattled greece will soon have a new team to try and lead us out of its financial quagmire off leaders agreed to form a coalition but there's no room for pretty good prime minister george papandreou he's agreed to go and be replaced. getting a payment to go was key to securing the main opposition party's involvement they've got just a few months to force through cuts. widespread protests the e.u. rescue is approved then step aside from the election next agree because plan they came to the pm short clips at home and abroad clearing then during a bailed out referendum speculation finance minister it's his job but other names may also be thrown into the ring. there must also be bill brisson to have to

be the leader in this new government will be mr look past the most he's sixty four years old he acts vice president in the european central bank is not only decent he is a technocrat but according to the plan is to be the prime minister and out there for you to see and make technocrats to be around him about the most is a personality well respected in the hope it. you're a zone in the boat european union and he's the person who knows very well how to react in this difficult situation analysts here in greece ofter the announcement say is 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 a late film because they think that apart from this coalition government in february we're going to have alex in 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 and other of the selfsame talking about silly darity and corporation in the european union and now we come right this deadline and greece suffers even italy suffers which is bigger economy and probably will create not probably for sure it's both creates more poor problems the whole eurozone. e.u. president has repeatedly called on europe's leaders to get closer to each other to save their finances and. doing so one a former british government minister tells r.t. later such ties it should have been sorted out long before the single currency was born. problem the moment is the based on fiction because it doesn't have political

reality the whole problem of this crisis is it was created by the europeans themselves because who could not have a single currency without a political union they knew they couldn't get away with the political beautiful so they disappeared for the you could monitor blah speakers and signed up to and made a proposition which is to have a unified currency with no unified policy paper going to get rid of unemployment and greeks you're going to have to get the price down and as long as everything is priced in muriel's that will never be possible to happen therefore. if i was a greek i would lean down to go to ground. to get out of this because what happens there still in the euro zone so that french banks shake their head. but they're still stuck with the euro.

and they will have more from britain's a lot in that twenty minutes time here in r.t. . leaders of the world's twenty biggest economies very much have greece's dismal finances close to heart as its debt continues to drag everyone else down their greed to prop up the international monetary fund and now its chief is bringing a crisis talks to russia need to present again of late on monday a country which over it is keeping an eye on that source. the heart of the i.m.f. is here in moscow to us for russia's help russia paid the last portion of his debt to the i.m.f. in two thousand and five and since then has been contributing to the organization by providing money to countries which experience it could only difficulties or even default as it is now the case with chris but the recent developments in greece and the euro crisis in general dominated 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's fall from the much in economies from the brics including russia and although the european crisis doesn't directly affect the promise to come up with financial support for europe they have to agree on the some but as far as russia still sons were talking the boss of the potential contribution which could exceed ten billion dollars however present the bet it did make it clear that there is one condition helping the european countries not directly but through international institutions and above all the boys of the greats needs to be heard within the imo and other financial bodies' the russian president also supported the decision by the european leaders to bolster the bailout fund from four hundred forty billion euros to one trillion euros so we should remember as well that russia itself keeps almost forty five percent of its international reserves in europe just like other greeks russia is lobbying for the reform of the i.m.f.

and its regulation board and moreover the brakes are pushing too was the greatest abuse should all be but membership quotas by january twenty four teams of the main criticism of this international organization is similar to that of the g twenty rosemount 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. well the head of the army was now visiting moscow christine lagarde. she supported the idea of reforming also agrees that quotas for countries with rapidly growing economies should be in christe current commitments amount to almost three hundred billion dollars in loans with greece portugal and ireland the major war was . ahead this hour in india where disaster victims became drug company guinea pigs.

tragedy thousands of survivors who were getting patients were being tested on stage . and it is marking seventy years since one of the major turning points in the second world war with the reenactments of the one nine hundred forty one parade which is going to cross red square on the way to the front to. a british court is seeing two of russia's richest battle it out on the bench. six and a half billion dollars no less is at stake tycoon very. much a man who usually keeps a low public profile. it's been dubbed the battle of the oligarchs in one corner is an easter egg estimated

anything at all he wants to be respectful and suddenly we're all waiting of the rather sort of see the origins of his wealth it's a third of that wealth that produce better results he claims is he's still a wanted man in russia he's suing mr and promote it for six and a half billion dollars they set up the oil company significant there in the ninety's debate as he claims he was blackmailed into selling his stake at a fraction of its true worth a mere one point two million dollars the money here is massive the case is expected to smash the record for the u.k.'s most expensive privately funded litigation is thought to be costing eighty dollars a second in here as for the legal fees mr every moment she is a rule to be sixteen million dollars a barrel. and they work cut out there on a no win no fee basis but pair used to be close it's. b. gave 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 nine they were business partners it's that claim this case rides on that there's no concrete evidence after all this was ninety's russia and none of the deals were written down by weeks in and i've counted the cost of nine billionaires five russian one cause one is becky ball 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 future all strange deals records of meetings that maybe never happened the whole thing is extraordinarily bizarre you try to piece 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 b.'s 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 it scratching any money with so much at stake it's painstaking progress the battles expected to go on into the new year after bennett r t.

their way straight to the front lines for the bottle of moscow now the dates for the parade the seventh of november is a very important dates actually marks the anniversary of the october revolution the pows regret aleutian one thousand seventeen why it takes place on november the seventh is because in one nine hundred seventeen russia actually it's the julian calendar instead of the modern day good korean condit in which case it may come to falls on the seventh november taking part in the parade that's going on just behind me all the soldiers wearing the uniforms the same uniforms that were worn by so just in the one nine hundred forty war and also some pieces of equipment of military hardware of being paraded across red square by the kremlin as well. know the dates of the then picking the october revolution take off and just important to them to be the soviet union the nazis it also seems to side the

seventh of october is the date that they would end to moscow that moscow was one of the major targets for for nazi germany during operation barbarossa where they they invaded the u.s.s.r. they had a hitler had hoped to have been standing on red square in similar way that he had stood in paris in front of the eiffel tower victorious the soviet union by turning to stop class they put up a big the fence a strong defense against them they can't smoke scoping taken and this really was a real attempt they even the best estimates place the the soviet union situation is being very precarious at the time it was a real role of the dice to try and go and stop. the time they were able to go out and fight in the battle of moscow one of the bloodiest during the second world war over a million people killed or wounded in not bustling not engagement many of those who made that march across red square in one nine hundred forty one would fall on the

front line in the bustle of moscow and today the city of moscow and the people are paying tribute to that sacrifice that was was made by those soldiers who fought so bravely taking thought also today amongst those soldiers which they wearing the uniforms of the troops of nine hundred forty one all youth groups of around russia they're taking part in showing that they appreciate the sacrifice that was laid down in order to defeat nazi germany ok our taste in red square thank you for that and they in fact let's take a break have a look at these live pictures right there saying red square to some of. your. i heard you. shot.

a decision on russia's membership is expected by the end of this week here west at investment bank antón believes a w t o accession would make russian companies more competitive but i think the major point to be to be made when it comes to the increased competition from outside 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 more effective in the course of this huge level of restructuring efforts that can be done the russian companies that could offset some of this type of threat from foreign players and the major thing here is for the consumer increase competition is lower prices and i would have the guts the most important thing but it probably would obliterate european debt remains one of the
