a future looms over libya amid claims of revenge killings of the spread of radicalism nato says its job in the country is all the details there. minutes. before that as more and more countries are turning to the international monetary fund for help it in turn is reaching out for support from some of the world's rising financial power players i.m.f. chief christine the guards preparing to head off to china on tuesday and is currently in moscow for talks with the kremlin are. following the visit. russia seems to be determined and willing to help the eurozone through i am up but mission with that of today reads awaited he wants these help to be to be targeted to be called prehensile to be to be direct and to be done through the international of financial institutions such as i am up for russia paid the last portion of its debt to the organization back in two thousand and five and since that it has been contributing to the i.m.f.

by providing money for countries which experience serious financial economic difficulties or even default as it is now the case with grace about the current euro crisis and recent developments in grays so complete it 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 and old though the current euro crisis doesn't directly affect 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 it's 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 off troll russia itself keeps almost forty five percent of its international reserves in euros or russia is likely to ask for a high price stepped up its for its offer of support a particular its search chances of 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 reforms. the am at. nine hundred forty five and currently i'm of commitments amount almost three hundred billion dollars of funds and the major. points are greece portugal and. artie's business editor nick poole says it can still take some time for russian money to start helping the troubled euro zone through the i.m.f. the perilous spall a state of europe means that they need more for their bailout funds they need to

come to where the money is and to a sudden step that's russia there is no quick fix to at least the political situation in europe is so sufficiently complex difficult to clean greece and italy the every time they try to impose austerity measures structural reforms there's a resisted heavily by the populations which is understandable because it leads to sort of long term hardship but with. those economies overcome. well it's a grease that heads the queue of countries destabilizing the euro zone and there are a new coalition a unity government has been formed to tackle its debt crisis and this comes after weeks of political chaos in athens that's put its euro membership in jeopardy the greek prime minister george papandreou has agreed to step down and his replacement is due to be announced shortly the new interim government will leave the country until elections are expected to be held in february next year the government's main

task will be to approve a one hundred thirty billion euro merchants' the rescue package that was reached between european leaders are demands for a new government came after propping drew called ditched a bailout referendum which shocked colleagues at home and abroad later on r t a former british minister tells us that the eurozone project has long needed a reality check. the moment is to you is based on fiction because it doesn't have political reality the whole problem with this crisis it was created by the europeans themselves because you could not have a single currency it was i was a political union they knew they couldn't get away of the political union and so they disappeared to the equivalent of las vegas and signed up to and maybe a proposition which is to have a unified parents who would now unify policies but if we're going to get rid of unemployment in greece you're going to have to get the price down and it's almost everything is prized in europe is that would never be possible to have that. if i

was a greek i would be. going to ground. to get out of this because what happens there still in the euro zone. says it's french banks. but there's still stuck with the euro. for more insight into the european debt crisis don't miss or interview just about twenty minutes time. and a week after wrapping up its intervention in post gadhafi libya the head of nato says it has no major role in the future of the country well that's a spike widespread allegations of crimes against humanity under the new libyan regime and a shift towards radical islam. and asks whether the west has made a habit of turning a blind eye to the shortcomings of its allies. cheere first question later not so long ago the u.s.

media presented libyan rebels as freedom loving folks yearning for democracy after could alpheus killing the 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 folding 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 qaeda flag planted on a libyan 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 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 them 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 saudi arabia does the bidding of the united states in this oil rich region being a dictatorship but not a democratic state yet america's a big alley in a big supporter of saudi arabia that just shows that we really don't care for working with democracies or we're working with dictatorships or working with secular governments or religious governments or we care about is our interest in the region buffering 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 records and those in power are their only things to me

and particularly the united states the media here had generally been supportive of the campaign. 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 started asking questions and only say human rights was never a top priority for those in washington who called the shots through their support behind the current government i'm going to check out reporting from washington. more military controversy and world events are discussed and analyzed website dot com we'll just go online and have a post war and disappointment tens of thousands of us veterans become jobless and homeless after coming home from war. the specter of russian spy has reportedly compromise a second government official this time in germany. feuding

november before they separate taking place was of historic importance in nineteen forty one it marked 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 glory and calendar would put such date was the seventh november but that was also an important take not just to the soviet union it was also picked by nazi germany was the day that hitler wanted to be in moscow he wanted to have more school 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 to the front to fight against the boches they were able to do just note today the parade to seeing soldiers wearing same style uniforms to war by those who fought in the second world war also some pieces of
