markets seem to be withstanding the pressure so far the start of the first trading session poland a three day weekend on an upbeat note exact now birth as well as the biggest losers gainers among the russian equities in the business or trade and now. world news and much more your with r.t. a very warm welcome see. libya's post gadhafi world is showing a lurch towards radical islam with strips syria nor an al-qaeda flags in evidence there it's very a week since nato moved down south of the campaign to swell with the take for democracy and some of us didn't seem too concerned about the shape it's taking. explains why. shere first question leader not so long ago the

us 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 didn't hear as a move towards democracy but really that is now exactly what's going on it seems the us media just woke up to the young holding human rights is that during 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 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 such as cutting off the hands of thieves beheading convicted murderers and rapists stoning to death adulterers shari'a long 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 domestic policies it will not stop the u.s. from making nice with the 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 that bothered 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 but not a democratic state america's ability to export of sort of arabia just shows that we really don't care for working with democracies or with working with the theater ships or working with secular governments or religious governments or we care about is our interest in the region very another u.s. ally in the region it hosts america's fifth fleet and also leads on the shari'a law and as a. questionable human rights record as those in power are their only things to mido

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 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 be in government i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. . europe's a dismal finances were very much in focus as leaders of the world's twenty biggest economies go together to seek a way forward to the international monetary fund and now its chief is bringing the crisis talks to russia to present a better if they turn monday country which is keeping an eye on developments. the heart of the i.m.f. is here in moscow to us for russia's help russia paid the last portion of its debt

to the i.m.f. in two thousand and five and since that it 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 chris all the recent developments in greece of the euro crisis in general told many to the g twenty summit in cannes last week and the leaders did a great a holster the role of the i.m.f. and other financial institutions to save the euro and euro so and one of the codes for the euro is fall from the much in economies from the brics including russia and whole though the european crisis doesn't directly affect that big deep promise to come up with financial support for europe they have to put on the song but as far as washes the sun we're talking about a 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 old the voice of the brakes needs to be heard within the i.m.f. and other financial bodies' the russian presence also supported the decision by the european leaders to bolster the bailout fund from one hundred twenty billion euros to one trillion euros that we should remember as well that russia itself keeps almost who thought the sons of this international reserves in you were just like the brakes russia is looking for the reform of the i.m.f. and its regulator it would and moreover the freights are pushing too but the greatest abuse in all the membership quotas by january twenty four team the main criticism of this international organization is similar to that of the g twenty was mounted to widen the spectrum of the countries that would endeavor was trying to help with global economic solutions but as many critics say this hasn't. well the head of the army was now visiting moscow christine lagarde earlier said that she's

supposed to be ideal reforming also agrees that quotas for countries with rapidly growing economies she'd be in christe currently i'm out of commitments amount almost three hundred billion dollars in loans with greece portugal and ireland the major poor us. but it's greece's debt continues to drag everyone else down but it will soon have a new team to try to get out of its financial caught my eye off the leaders agreed to form a coalition but there's no room for beleaguered prime minister george papandreou he's agreed to go placed later on monday getting the people to go was key to securing the main opposition party moment they've got just a few months to force through cuts sparked widespread protests and rescue is a prudent step aside action next every coalition plan that came out of the pm

shocked clearly exactly about the group would carry on with. referenda. finance minister get his job but other names may also be thrown into the ring. most people presumed to have got to be the leader in this new government will be mr look out 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 but according to the plan is to be the prime minister and our politicians are not told to make technocrats to be our own team but probably the most is a personality well respected in the whole eurozone in the whole european union and he's the person who knows very well how to react in this difficult situation panelist here in greece after the announcement saying. say that more austerity

means or are expected because nobody but 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 lake still because they think that's apart from this coalition government on february we're going to have elections 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 talk about the silly darity and corporation in the european union and now we come right this deadline and greece suffers even easily suffers which is bigger economy and probably will create probably for sure it's go creates more book problems the whole eurozone. the e.u. president has repeatedly called on europe's leaders to get closer to each other to save this post except one

a former british government minister tells our waiter that such ties should have been sorted out long before the single currency. movement is to you is based on fixed. because it doesn't have political reality 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 of the political views so they disappeared to the equivalent of las vegas and signed up to a new maybe proposition which is to have a unified cards with no unified policy paper going to get rid of unemployment groups you're going to have to get the price down and as long as everything is priced in europe because that will never be possible to have their full best thing if i was a greek i would lean down to go to drachma to get out of this because what happens

they're still in the euro zone so the french bank check ahead. but there's still stuck with the euro. yes more from britain's though it has been just over an hour's time here in r.t. . every dish caught his seeing two of russia's richest battle it out in front of the bench and it's no small claim either six and a half a billion dollars is at stake next are three very serious off scale once the cash from chelsea will cover a man i don't know that a man who usually keeps a low profile has other reports that means britons are getting a reg'lar since they've been theirs last time. it's been dubbed the battle of the oligarchs in one corner is an easter egg estimated wealth became billion assets for your child's a football club and a french chateau in the other corner mr b.

rather sort of see the origins of his wealth it's a bird of that world but probably 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 significator in the ninety's it's about as he claims he was blackmailed into selling his stake in a fraction of it's true worth a mere one point two million dollars the money here is massive the case is expected to smash the record but the u.k.'s most expensive privately funded litigation is thought to be costing eighty dollars a second here as well the legal fees mr abbott is a router be sixteen million dollars. now they work cut out there are no rain no fee basis the pair used to be close mr. he 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 denying they were ever

business partners it's that claim this case rides on but there's no concrete evidence after all this was ninety's russia and none of their deals were written down by weeks in and i've counted the cost of nine billionaires five russian one has one who's 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 strange deals records of meetings that maybe never happened the whole thing is extraordinarily bizarre you try and 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 pease lawyers mr a has hidden his billions in a complex web of offshore holdings so even if it has to be those when he'll have a difficult task it's correcting 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. london well i still ahead this hour. though

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 signed anything at all for each participant in a clinical trial the doctor received around two thousand dollars this is both paul memorial hospital the place where the victims from the gas leak of nine hundred 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 obtained documents that show at least six trial programs that took place in bhopal between true thousand and four and two thousand and eight. profoundly ironic that after the victims of the worst chemical disaster in which some of the largest pharmaceutical largest multinational corporations were in war to get the victimized by another set of multinational corporations pharmaceutical

parade taking place was the historic importance in one thing forty one it marks the anniversary of the bolshevik revolution the october revolution well it is november it was called the october revolution because it took place in october of the julian calendar we now follow the quran calendar which puts what they say was the seventh and hope of november that was also important take not just for the soviet union it was also picked by nazi germany as the day that hitler wanted to be in moscow he wanted to have also taken by this boy to march in red square himself in similar ways that he had done in paris and other cities in europe the soviet authorities determined to stop that happening and that's why when they could hold this parade on red square and then same people off as a final morale boost before going off to the front to fights against fascists they were able to do just that no today the parade to see him soldiers wearing uniforms all one hundred forty one the same style uniforms to war by those who fought in the

second world war also some pieces of military hardware the creation pieces of military hardware from the time also taking part in this march across the historic center of moscow in red square in front of the kremlin next the same basel skittish role that the battle of moscow itself was one of the most brutal and one of the the most important in the second world war the fact that the nazis were able to capture the capital of the u.s.s.r. was a real problem for them they had hoped to be able to be here for the winter and not the fight against them was able to stop them capturing this important asset. although moscow now the box itself was very broad very bloody very brutal but a million people killed and injured in the fighting to defend itself many of those people who marched across red square just behind me in ninety three board as they fell at the front defending the capital from germany. peter all of our reporting
