call. them. tories on r.p. no war in the middle east russia sounds the alarm over israel saying it could soon bomb iran's nuclear facilities moscow's warning of dangerous world consequences. from the rubble still radicals live is a new chapter sees a surge of extreme islam after nato spied for democracy but washington seems unconcerned about what's next now that the top is gone. and the two russian tycoon titan slug it out over six and a half billion dollars and their reputations are the reports of the high cost drawn are playing out at london's high court. and after almost two decades of talk russia

why i only become a w t o member of this with the details of what it would mean for the russian economy once the business or we are now. just after three pm in the russian capital this is r.t. now russia is strongly warning against an attack on iran following statements by israel that a strike on 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 argue civilian or because a house a veto. rushton 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. our view on this issue is well known and it would be a serious mistake with very grave consequences we can see proof of god 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 need to be rising gets. meanwhile international atomic energy agency's preparing our reports which is going to prove that iran's nuclear ambitions are not peaceful evil iran has been denying this ever since the beginning and mahmoud ahmadinejad has said that so if there's going to be a military intervention and iran is prepared for it. all as it's being witnessed in libya foreign military intervention could bring about disastrous results the post

office set up a showing a lurch towards a radical islam with structural law and all cargo flights and evidence there that's barely a week after day two and that it's campaign to swap a dictator for democracy it was artie's game of chicken explains the alliance of the us don't seem too concerned about the shape libya is take. shere first question leader not so long ago the us media presented libyan rebels as freedom loving folks yearning for democracy after production 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 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 leading 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's 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 to bother the powers that be and 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 that just shows they really don't care for working with democracies or working with dictatorships or working with secular governments or religious governments or we care about is our interest in the region but very another u.s. ally in the region it hosts america's fifth fleet and also leads on the shari'a law and has a. questionable human rights records and school levy are those in power are their only things to nido and particularly the united states the media here had generally been supportive of the campaign can topple gadhafi but now that he's gone why the sudden certain about human rights and leave me out of old habit so well demonstrated in the run up to the iraq war when the media cheered first then 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. reporting from washington r.t.

. europe's dismal finances are very much in focus of the recent g. twenty summit in cannes as 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 are. keeping an eye on this for us. russia seems to be determined that we're going to help the eurozone through imo but mission abetted today reiterated he wants these help to be targeted to be comprehensible to be to be direct and to be done through the international of financial institutions such as i am out of russia paid the last portion of its debt to the open eyes ation back in two thousand and five and seems that it has been contributing to the i'm up by providing money for the countries which experienced a serious financial economic difficulties or even default as it is now the case

with grace about the current euro crisis and rescind developments in praise so completely took over the g twenty summit in cannes last week where the leaders agreed 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 coming from the emerging economies from the breaks including russia at old though the current euro crisis doesn't directly tied to the brics countries they didn't promise to come up with financial support for europe as far as russia is concerned here we're talking about a potential compensation which could exceed ten billion dollars however present that it made is 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 our my friends out of financial institutions optional russia itself keeps almost forty five percent of

its international reserves in euros russia is likely to cost for a high price stepped up its for its overall support a particular its chances of ranching the world trade organization by the end of this year finally after years and years of feeding with more than promising at bob coal russia is likely to continue loving for the reforms. b.m.i. of yeah muslims in nine hundred forty five in car currently i'm of commitments amount almost three hundred billion dollars of funds and the the major borlase at this point are greece portugal and ireland. well for more analysis they can all talk to our business editor make a poor sort it what's your take on this what's legard looking for here in russia clearly she's looking for money the purpose parlous state of europe means that they need more for the bailout funds and they need to come to where the money isn't to

a certain extent that's russia yet so do you think she's actually going to get that money that she wants from russia. there will be conditions attached and the principal precondition will be the europe needs to sort of zone ourselves. implement the structural reforms necessary so that money spent on the bailout is not just wasted money yeah what's interesting is russia did go through a tough economic times but right now it's in a position to help how did it manage the previous crisis and the financial crisis and so how do they get through it is now in this position the two thousand and eight financial crisis by being prudent and also had quite a lot of reserve funds although it should be noted that russia's economy contracted sharply during that time but about eight percent it's fact it's come out of it quite well that's perhaps why you know god is here now. also russia's. reserve funds it's recently strong that was able to profits ruble and is now in

a position where it could actually help out if you're right and of course we know that legard so next step is china do you think that the cash is really just coming from the east now that this is really the place where western countries should look i think that's probably a new statement i mean clearly so are the countries in northern europe still quite healthy. there australia there is money still in the world. and russia are also quickly emerging economies with healthy healthy budgets the question is really is do they want to spend this money or europe and europe is regarded as relatively wealthy and it is and so we're going to be better spent on the russian people or on group. people secure it's ok let's look at where all this money is going to end up in there propping up the international monetary fund do you think of the end of the day that struggling economists of the i.m.f. are supposed to be helping the rich will actually benefit from this little without structural reforms i mean if you just throw good money after bad it's lost money

there is no quick fix alternately the political situation in europe is sufficiently complex difficult to be in greece and in italy the every time they tried to impose new or spirity measures structural reforms there's resisted heavily by the populations which is understandable because it leads to sort of long term hardship but with. how those economies are become complacent because it's a hard person to hold so it's not just about the cash and structural reforms you're talking about them thanks very much for your insight our business editor paul thank you. well it's greece's debt now that continues to drag everyone else down but 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 where he's agreed to go and be replaced later on monday getting a prime minister to go was key to security the main opposition parties involved that it got just fifteen weeks to force through cots which more widespread protests

was the e.u. rescue is approved step aside for an election next february the coalition came out for the prime minister shot colleagues at home and abroad by declaring and there were drawing a bailout referendum. and still ahead this hour though we're in india where disaster victims became a drug company guinea pigs and the bhopal chemical tragedy killed and pals that's what survivors who thought they were getting medication being tested are instead. go is remembering seventeen years since ward of the major turning points in the second world war with a reenactment of the night simply it's one great resource soldiers march across red square on their way to fight against fascism well for me in a few moments. all a 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 exile tycoon but he's got it solves he wants the

cash from chelsea football club owner roman abramovich a man who usually keeps a low public profile was artie's other better 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 billion assets for you still see a football club and a french chateau in the other corner is to be estimated fortune five hundred million he had to sell his yacht he does still have his trusty stretch my bike which he never fails to show off a man of remote which is rise to riches is a story precious few knew until now his turn in the witness stand has lifted the meat on a mike in the shadows he revealed how some of his company's employed primarily disabled staff bending lucrative thirty percent tax breaks and he came clean on the piles of cash he paid for protection as he dived into the infamous allegheny and walls of the ninety's where we now know someone was murdered every three days not

exactly the clean cut image and 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 rotten people and here is pure good truth a very paranoid image and he doesn't really come across aggressively that we say anything at all he wants to be respectful and suddenly we're all of the rather sort of see the origins of his wealth it's a third of that wealth but he claims is he's still a wanted man in russia he's suing mr and promote it for five and a half billion dollars they set up the oil company significator in the ninety's to better results 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 but the u.k.'s most expensive privately funded litigation is thought to be costing eighty dollars a second in here as well the legal fees mr every move it is

a rule to be sixteen million dollars but he's lawyers have their work cut out there on a no win 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 in fact claim this case rides on there's no concrete evidence after all this was ninety's russia none of their deals were written down by weeks in and i've counted the 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 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 pease lawyers mr a has hidden his billions in a complex web of shore holdings so even if mr b. does win you'll have a difficult task expecting 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. and there's further fallout from the world's worst industrial disasters more than a quarter of a century on the chemical gas leak of a us plant in bhopal in india killed an estimated twenty thousand people in the survivors face further agony to test drugs they thought were for treatment artist british trader has this story. even after twenty five years residents say it was a day they can never forget it. i clutched my children drug one one from the bus station everyone was screaming running room we crossed into the village when people

thought they were getting treatment but doctors often used experimental drugs without them knowing that 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. is profoundly ironic that of the victims of the worst chemical disaster in which some of the largest pharmaceutical largest multinational corporations get very victimized by

another set of multinational corporations pharmaceutical corporations treat asked of became suspicious when he was repeatedly asked to bring blon of two bottles of medicine back a common practice in clinical trials and. 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 bhopal 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 poll paul trials died after taking the drugs when you go drug drug trials 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 i'm slowly losing my sight i can would fall on either and i suffered from

russian companies more competitive but i think the major point to be to be made when it comes to due 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 texaco put this so if you want to be really hard on this i mean i i do think that these employers doesn't actually provide a threat they provide an opportunity for companies to make themselves more efficient more transparent at a more effective on the course of this huge level of restructuring efforts the cabby than the russian companies that could offset some of this with 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 would have occurred with w.t. or. european debt remains one of the dominating issues for the markets this week as we've heard earlier reeses embattled prime minister george papandreou always
