on our t.v. at the war in the middle east russia sounds the alarm over israel saying it could soon be iran's nuclear facilities moscow's warning of dangerous world consequences . from rebels to radicals libya's new chapter sees a surge of extreme islam after nato spied for democracy but washington seems unconcerned about what's next now that gadhafi is gone. involve two russian tycoon tartan slug it out over six and a half billion dollars and their reputations party reports on the high cost of drama playing out at london's high court.

two pm here in the russian capital this is r.t. and our top story russia is strongly warning against an attack on iran following statements by ease roll that a strike at iran's nuclear facilities is drawing nearer foreign minister sergey lavrov believes any such move would be a serious mistake with grave and unpredictable consequences archy's of all you know vehicle bahasa details. russia stands firmly on that this issue has to be approached with diplomacy it has to be done step by step through talking no military intervention is acceptable russia's reaction to this comes after israel has been pushing for a military intervention saying the clock is ticking and iranian nuclear program has to be stopped right now russian foreign minister insists that it's going to have consequences for the entire region is already so unstable. as its natural our view

on this issue is well known and the time 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 close to iran iraq afghanistan or other countries in the region military interference only leads to a multiple rise in. you know international atomic energy agency's preparing i reports which is going to prove that iran's nuclear ambitions are not peaceful overall iran has been denying this ever since the beginning and mahmoud ahmadinejad has set out that if there's going to be a military intervention then iran is prepared for it. all as it's being witnessed in libya foreign military interventions don't always bring the desired result and posted off the set up a showing a lurch towards radical islam with structuring a law and all car to fly it's an evidence there that's barely a week after nato when that it's campaign to swap it to paper for democracy and get us there to check out explains the alliance and the u.s.

don't seem too concerned about the shape only because taking. 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 telling 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 a repro 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 punishment such as cutting off the hands of thieves beheading convicted murderers and rapists stoning to death adulterers sure real 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's domestic policies it will not stop the u.s. from making nice with their 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 sunny arabia does the bidding of the united states in this oil rich region being a dictatorship but not a democratic state america's a gallon a big supporter of saudi arabia that just shows that we really don't care for can we democracies or we're working with the future shifts or working with secular governments or religious governments where we care about is our interest in the region green another us ally in the region it hosts america's space and also leads

on the shari'a law and as a. questionable human rights record as those in power are their only things to nato and particularly the united states the media here had generally been supportive of the campaign to topple khadafi 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 and we 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 take our reporting from washington r t. europe's the dismal finances were very much in focus at the recent g twenty summit in cannes as the leaders of the world's twenty biggest economies got together to map out a way forward or they agreed to prop up the international monetary fund and i would chief is bringing the crisis talks to russia by meeting president medvedev in

moscow you know their trouble is keeping an eye on this for us you can see that so what is the i.m.f. chief i can see that are looking for here and you think she's likely to get it. the i.m.f. chief is looking for russia's money and russia seems to be determined and really to help the eurozone through i am up but musha voted today reads the way that he wants these help to be to be targeted to be called pronounceable to be to be direct and to be done through the international love financial institutions such as i am out of russia paid the last portion of it to the organization back in two thousand and five and since then it has been contributing to the i am up by providing money for countries which experience serious financial economic difficulties or even default as it is now the case with greece at the current euro crisis and recent developments in greece so completely took over the g twenty summit in cannes last

week where the leaders agreed to bulstrode the role. i am open to other financial institutions to save the euro and eurozone and one of the hopes for the euro is help coming from the much in uganda news from the breaks including russia and although the current euro crisis doesn't directly affect the brics countries they did promise to come up with financial support for europe as far as russia's concerned here we're talking about a potential compensation which could exceed ten billion dollars however president. made it clear from the very beginning that there is a condition on russia and other partners within the brakes to provide this money to europe and that is that their voice needs to be heard within the i.m.f. and other financial institutions optional russia itself keeps almost forty five percent of its international reserves in euros talking about that a two way street here so what are russia what's really good getting

a hoping to get in return for giving that support to the i.m.f. . well russia is likely to ask for a high price tag of its for its offer of support to eurozone countries a particular its search chances are and showing the world trade organization by the end of this year finally after years and years of beating look more than promising above all russia is likely to to continue lobbying for the reform of the i.m.f. as well as other brics countries and it's a it's made bold to particular the brics countries are pushing towards the registry buescher of the i.m.f. membership quotas by january twenty four teams the thing is that the main criticism of these certain financial institutions is similar to that of the g twenty the g twenty remember was formed during the heyday of the heyday of the global financial crisis in two thousand and eight and it was mounted 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 has never happened in reality the height of the arm of the christine legarde sad today again that she supported the idea of reforming these national monetary funds and she also is great with the fact that quotas for the countries with a rapidly growing economies should be increased ok am i was filmed in nine hundred forty five and cut currently i'm of commitments amount almost three hundred billion dollars of funds and the the major war was at this point are greece portugal and ireland ok well thanks very much for bringing us up to date there are going to be no grouch over porting live from central moscow thanks. well it's so greece's debt that continues to drag everyone else down but it will soon have a new team to try and get out of its financial quagmire after leaders agreed to form a coalition but there's no room for beleaguered prime minister george papandreou

and he's agreed to go and be replaced later on monday or getting the prime minister to go was key to securing the main opposition party's evolvement they've got just fifteen weeks to force through cuts which are widespread protests once the e.u. rescue is approved they'll then step aside for election express the coalition plan came after the prime minister shocked colleagues at home and abroad by declaring and then withdrawing a bailout referendum later a former british government minister tells r t that europe's troubles stem from a lack of political cohesion. problem at the moment is the us based on fiction because it doesn't have political realities hope problem with this crisis it was created by the europeans and so because from could north america of a single currency without a political union they knew they couldn't get away with the political union so they disappeared to the equivalent of las vegas and signed up to and maybe proposition

which is to have a unified currency with no unified policies paper going to get rid of unemployment in greece they're going to have to get the price stuff and it's almost everything is priced in europe is that would never be possible to have their best team if i was a greek i would be done. deliberately to get out of this because what happens there still in the euro zone. so that french banks shake the heck no. but there still stuck. on more from britain's lord has been just about twenty minutes time right here on our table before that where in india were disaster victims became a drug company guinea pigs the walpole chemical tragedy killed thousands of survivors who thought they were getting medication being tested on instead. moscow is remembering seventeen years since one of the major turning points in the

second world war with a reenactment of the nine hundred forty one raid just north of course red square on their way to fight against fascism for me the few vogelstein. british court is seeing two of russia's richest battle it out in front of the bench and it's no small claim six and a half billion dollars is at stake. but he's got a source he wants the cash from chelsea football club owner roman abramovich a man who usually keeps a low public profile bennett reports that means britons are getting a rare glimpse into the billionaires lifestyle. it's been dubbed the battle of the oligarchs in one corner is an easter egg estimated well fifteen million assets for your child's a football club and a french chateau in the other corner used to be estimated fortune five hundred million he had to sell his yacht but he does still have his trusty stretch my bike

which he never fails to show off from an album over to his rise to riches is a story precious few knew until now his turn in the witness stand has lifted the need on a life in the shadows he revealed how some of his companies employed primarily disabled staff landing lucrative thirty percent tax breaks and he came clean on the piles of cash he paid for protection and he dived into the infamous al-ameen wars of the ninety's where we now know someone was murdered every three days not exactly the plein cut image one of britain's most loved foreign imports he did want to i think it was the moment you know the only difference between a rut and the people around here is good preserve the very image and he doesn't really come across aggressively evil we say anything at all he wants to get a respectful and suddenly we're all of the rather sort of see the origins of his wealth it's a third of that wealth that body spirit he claims is he's still a wanted man in russia he's suing mr adam ovitz for six and

a half billion dollars they set up the oil company significator in the ninety's. 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 for the u.k.'s most expensive privately funded litigation is thought to be costing eighty dollars a second in here as were the legal fees mr every move it is a really to be sixteen million dollars a barrel noise and they were cut out there on a no win no fee basis the pair used to be close mr. 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 denying they were ever business partners it's that clay in this case writes on but there's no concrete evidence after all this was ninety's russia and none of the

deals were written down five weeks in and i've counted the cost of nine billionaires five russian one cause one to speculate all israeli one british the crown prince of abu dhabi is suddenly involved for transferring one point three billion dollars from one to the other and not to mention future strange deals records of meetings that maybe never happened the whole thing's 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 b.'s lawyers mr a has hidden his billions in a complex web of short holdings so even if mr b. does win he'll have a difficult task extracting 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 there is further fallout 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 a bhopal in india killed an estimated twenty thousand people in the survivors face

further agony being used to test drugs they part they were being treated that were treatments artie's appreciator has a story. even after twenty five years residents say it was a day they can never forget it. i clutched my children and dragged my wife and mother to the bus station everyone was screaming run run across another village where people go in the car and everybody in the village was screaming room experts 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 from industry vast still suffer. very healthy before the gas leaks to the place of this incident we became very sick never 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 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 obtains documents that show at least six trial programs that took place in bhopal between two thousand and four and two thousand and eight. it is profoundly ironic that after that the victims of the worst chemical disaster in which some of the largest largest by the march of corporations the war it get very victimized by another set of multinational corporations pharmaceutical corporations true vast wealth became suspicious when he was repeatedly asked to print one of two bottles of medicine back a common practice in clinical trials moved in with no legs 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 unknowingly took

part in the bhopal trials died after taking the drugs when you go pros on people 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 and i suffer from breathlessness left to suffer a double tragedy preassure either r t bhopal india. we've got more stories lined up for you online and here is a few of them right now let's see the millions of brushing muslims are from one of their most important religious festivals with prayers called image and celebrations for each of the videos that are dot com. and a hollywood has another spy story in its sights this time unlike the death of the

over is in red square for us. this is the first time to the parade is being reenacted as it took place in ninety four she was just the seventieth anniversary told us to march across red square and then on which to the front to defend moscow against the nazi home sold the dates of the seventh of november to this parade taking place was have historic importance in nineteen forty one it marked the anniversary of the bolshevik revolution the total revolution well it is november it was called the october revolution because it took place the focus of the julian calendar we now follow the jury in calendar we put such a cause the seven some hope of november that was also an important date not just to the soviet union it was also picked by nazi germany as the day that hitler wanted to be in moscow he wanted to help most who taken by this point to march in red

square himself in similar ways this 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 send people off as a final morale boost before going off the front to fight against the fascists they were able to do just that now today the parade is seeing soldiers wearing same style uniforms to war by those who fought in the second world war also some pieces of military hardware creation pieces of military hardware from the time also taking part in the battle of moscow itself was very bloody very brutal home for a million people killed and injured in the fighting to defend herself and many of those people who marched across red square just behind me in ninety four she was done as they fell at the front defending the capital called germany. peter only for recording right there offered out its time for all the latest business nice touch.

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 talk of threats from four years of the major thing here is for the consumer increase competition is lower prices and i would have that's the most important thing but it probably would not let you. european debt remains one of the dominating issues for the markets this week as we've heard earlier earlier greece's embattled prime minister george of course i'm drowse stepping down after a dark aboard a plan for a referendum on the e.u. bailout investors are now waiting to see who is brave enough to step into pop under shoes the decision is expected later on monday the interim government's main task will be to pass the european rescue package a move considered crucial to shoring up the euro. see what's going on in the markets the european stocks are losing value this hour the south sea and the
