images go and seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations rule today . from rebels to radicals libya's new chapter sees a surge of extreme islam after nato support for democracy for washington seems unconcerned about what's next rather dumb please join. the race to stop the euro from drowning a sea of debt as the i.m.f. chief heads to moscow to see if russia can come to the rescue of. the mile true russian tycoon titan slug accounted for six and a half billion dollars on their reputations paunchy reports on the high cost drama playing out at london's high court. political turmoil in greece is putting pressure on both european and russian equities makes little sense

to read an afternoon freight morning which blue chips and the biggest losers in the business bulletin made on south. korea watching r.t. broadcasting live from moscow welcome to the program keri johnston libya's post gadhafi world is sharing a lurch towards radical islam with strict sharia law and al qaeda flags in evidence that it's barely a week since nato moved down off a campaign to swap the tater for democracy. in the u.s. didn't seem too concerned about the shape it's taking. explains why. cheere first question leader not so long ago the us media presented leading rebels as freedom loving folks yearning for democracy after gadhafi is killing the narrative

changed you know you talk about this arab spring and make people here as a move towards democracy but really that's not exactly what's going on it seems the us media just woke up to the young bullying human rights these that are 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 have the interim leader coming out saying he hoped it would become an islamic state that polygamy was going to be legal 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 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 leader in governments 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 they're 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 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 l a big supporter of saudi arabia but just shows that really don't care for working with democracies or working with dictatorships looking with secular governments or religious governments all we care about is our interest in the region green another u.s. ally in the region it hosts america's fifth. also leaves under shari'a law and as a. questionable human rights records as will leave you and those in power are their only things to need 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 old habit 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 analysts say human rights in libya was never a top priority for those in washington who called the shots and threw their support behind the current government. reporting from washington r.t. . but europe's dismal finances were very much in focus as leaders of the world's twenty biggest economies got together to seek a way forward they agreed to prop up the international monetary fund and its chief crisis talks to russia made the president get it nato on monday because you the truth various keeping an eye on developments. but hagel the imei of us 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 and has been contributing told 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 and the euro crisis in general told 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 euro so and one of the hopes for the euro is hollow from the munching economies from the brics including russia and although the european crisis doesn't directly affect that date do you promise to come up with financial support with europe they haven't agreed on the some but as far as washers concerned we're talking vase 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 breaks needs to be heard within the imo and the financial bodies' the russian

president also supported the decision by the european leaders to bolster the bailout gone 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 just like other breaks russia is lobbying for the reform of the i.m.f. and its regulation board and moreover the brakes are pushing towards the greatest tribute of the i.m.f. but membership quotas by january twenty four team but the main criticism of this international organization is similar to that of the g twenty was mount 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 helped. and yet the head of the i.m.f. was now 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 currently i'm out of commitments amount almost three hundred billion dollars in loans with greece portugal and ireland the major border was. well after more on this we can talk now to our business editor nick poole here in the studio say what's the guard hoping to achieve by coming to russia where he would carry she wants money and she wants quite a lot of it the i.m.f. is looking to double its funds to around knowing one hundred million dollars and you need to go where the money is in a sense that's russia do you think she'll get what she wants that russia said its plans are contributing to extra money to the i.m.f. clearly a lot of this money is it more for europe or is needed more for europe now russia's north not keen on directly bailing out europe it was to do it through your i.m.f. through established mechanism and it said it could cause to be previously up to about ten billion more dollars if that happens what will russia to actually get out

of this. i mean it's in no one's interest if europe if you're falls apart if you're going to the dogs basically everybody does we're looking at the second day of a double dip recession it could be very nasty europe's russia's biggest cost its or its gas for one of the things because it's so if europe goes down russia inevitably also sinks now i think china is kristin the gods next stop it seems that these developing booming economies is where the money is true there is money still in germany and in other northern european countries but they're already being tapped for quite a lot of money russia has actually been very prudent runs a very balanced budget it has money the question is really does it want to spend it is it just want to throw money into a bottomless pit so it's probably going to want to surance is that europe is going to restructure and make sure the money is not scorned. how do you view the decision of the g twenty countries to shore up the i.m.f.

then will that help these struggling economies and we hear about. the spain and the rest of it i think is that has no quick fix. short might help in the. short so if you put it through good money or what does it do it just kicks the can down the road slightly what everyone wants to see is the structural reforms that need to take place in europe now the political situation in europe of course is so complex a lot of the hard decisions are still here so in greece in italy the restructuring the reforms to make those calls more competitive that hasn't really been agreed on yet or taken place and therefore you're going to see a lot of red suits from the past of trying to rush about sort of spending money on these things is that it perfectly much later that's. it's greece is a desk that continues to drag everyone else down but it will soon have a new team to try and get it out of its financial quagmire what of it is

a brita for coalition but there's no room for beleaguered prime minister george papandreou he's agreed to go and be replaced later on monday but i think that yeah i think he was a key to securing the main opposition parties involvement they've got just a few months to force through cuts right spread protests that's the estimate is approved and then step aside from the election next primary coalition plan came off the pm shocked colleagues at home under the old i think player and then withdrawing a bailed out referendum. also ahead this hour in india where disaster victims became drug company guinea pigs look paula chemical tragedy killed thousands of survivors who thought they were getting patients being tested on stage. mosco is remembering seventy years since one of the major turning points in the second world war with a reenactment of the night it was great it's also just march across red square on

across what's being said on this issue natalya some strong words there from a foreign minister. in fact russia's position. towards reigning nuclear ambitions hasn't changed over the years russia insists that it has to be approached with diplomacy it has to be done step by step and a military intervention is not an option the reaction of russian foreign minister comes after israel has been pushing for military action against iran saying that the clock is ticking and iranian nuclear program has to be stopped right now they're in mind that many experts from all over the world are saying that is absolutely obvious that israel has its own nuclear weapons but no one is talking about that and of course russia insists that a military intervention is going to have consequences for the entire region that is already so unstable.

issue as well and it would be a serious mistake with very grave consequences we can see proof of that every day when we see how problems are being solved. in iraq or afghanistan or other countries in the region military interference only leads to a multiple rise in. russia insists that this military intervention is going to do nothing but cause a civilian casualties an international atomic energy agency saying it's preparing a report in which it's going to prove that iranian nuclear ambitions are not. after the experts of i.a.e.a. were allowed into iranian nuclear facilities however once again. military intervention is not a solution. by actually beneath. a artie's italian overcover in moscow thank you. for the fallout from one of the world's

worst industrial disaster is more than a quarter of a century on the chemical gas leak of a u.s. plant in the park in india killed an estimated twenty thousand people and the survivors faced further agony being used to test drugs they thought were for treatment has the story. even after twenty five years residents say it was a day they can never forget it. i clutched children drunk one night from the bus station everyone was screaming run run the we crossed another village where people go to come over and everybody in the village was screaming. that's heard say union carbide had faulty equipment poorly trained employees and in adequate evacuation plans in the aftermath despite being charged with manslaughter managers were bailed out and flown back to the united states never to account for their part in the disaster union carbide eventually reached

a four hundred seventy million dollars settlement with india's government but left without even cleaning up the mess many believe that caused thousands more to suffer and they're angry. again. today thousands like ramadan srivastav still suffer. very healthy before the gas leaks to the place of this incident we became very cynical. 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 signed 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 a place where clinical trials of medications took place about eighty percent of those are believed to have been done on gas victims r t obtains documents that show at least six trial programs that took place in bhopal between two thousand and four and two thousand and eight. is profoundly ironic that of the victims of the worst their nickel disaster in which some of the largest part of the group largest. corporations get very victimized by another set of multinational corporations pharmaceutical corporations srivastav 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 numbers repeated requests by r.t. to speak to the government or gopal 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 knowingly took part in the bhopal trials died after taking the drugs when you group drug trials own people who was in cadiz of not even being assessed let alone treated you are taking a great risk today srivastav still waits for justice. because of them i'm slowly losing last night i cannot work for money but when i suffer from recklessness laugh to suffer a double tragedy preassure either r t bhopal india. and there we have more stories lined up few online see millions of russian muslims not one of the most important religious festivals with the rest pilgrimage and celebrations but the idea is that r.t. dot com. and hollywood has another spy story in its sights this time the life and

be a to work session would make russian companies more competitive i think the major point to be to be made when it comes to do it sort of increase 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 texaco put this so if you want to be really hard and it's i mean i i do think that these inflows doesn't actually provide that threat they provide an opportunity for companies to make themselves more efficient more transparent but a more effective on the cost so there's a huge level of restructuring efforts that can be done the russian companies that could offset some of these sort of threats from foreign players and the major thing here is for the consumer increase competition is lower prices and i would have a glass the most important thing with it over here with a little european debt remains one of the dominating issues for the markets this
