twenty minutes a budget deficit they played europe and the united states but here in russia it's this cold so plus find out how it managed in the business bulletin later this hour . one pm of the russian capital you're watching r.t.m. arena joshie violence is continuing to escalate in cairo where thousands of egyptians are confined to her your square have again clashed with security services firing tear gas at least thirty three people have been killed since saturday when security forces first resorted to tear gas and rubber bullets all as the country prepares to elect a new parliament next week but let's now cross to our correspondents here who's on the ground for us he's got the latest paul there's been more unrest today as we see with further clashes between protesters and police and yet there is no sign the

demonstrators in tahrir square are going anywhere is there. basically no sign it in the street is you are going anywhere the situation is changing minute by minute the ambulances have been ferrying in carrying injured people in the streets leading to tear his square there are violent clashes underway between protesters and security personnel the security has been firing rubber bullets they've been firing tear gas which has just have been responding with rocks but the army brain is trying to do is get these the taste is out of the streets flash the mouse and then make a way it's their way here to tap his square now as we pan the camera a little bit you will see some of the protesters here in toughness where they are chanting down with the marshal this is in reference to mohamed tantawi who is the head of the supreme council of the armed forces there's a lot of anger here towards him they've also been people who've been coming in on motorcycles they've worked on some kind of system two people on

a bike the driver and another person we six are high and carrying the injured people there is a makeshift clinic that has been set up here on the grounds of toughest where it's been cornered all volunteer doctors have laid out blankets and people are being ferrying in as i say almost by the minute there are some woman crying there hysterically the people that i can see are dazed and confused a lot of them are fainted and there's a lot of blood so the question on everyone's mind is just how much more violent is the situation here going to have to become before there was any kind of real change it takes place i can also tell you that the security has been stepped up walking around the square today is not as easy as it was yesterday there are security personnel and marshals checking passports checking id they really is a very real concern at the situation is going to just change trails and go completely out of control there are some of the such scenes unfolding in alexandria and other major cities in alexandria there the police say fired tear gas when protesters try to storm the security building so

a lot of concern and lot of violence and a lot of tension not only here in tough his way cairo around the country certainly sounds like the situation is extremely volatile where you are now the moment but a poet so talk about the protesters demands what is it that they want to achieve in the long run. in the long run what the protesters want is for the supreme council of armed forces to step down they say that the military that has been governing this country for the last nine months has done pretty much precious little to change the lives of ordinary people here now the military is trying to respond it is holding emergency talks at the moment to try and deal with late last night the resignation of the cabinet now the cabin of resigned in response to protesters demand when that happened people here started cheering but of course for them it's not enough the word we have at the moment from the military council is that they want to have a prime minister in place before they accept those resignation of the government and the name being bandied about is mohamed al baradei the former head of the

international atomic energy agency and he has indicated that he would be prepared to take this position the military council is also holding emergency talks with various political parties to try and deal with the situation but that is a far cry from what we see happening on the ground here in toughness where any talk of elections next monday of course it's supposed to be the parliamentary elections is far from people's minds people here saying that they are intent on completing the civilization the tobin uses that this is the second revolution to make sure that all of a dreams all the hopes and all of a aspirations come back in february women ousted hosni mubarak are realized and this is the international has also come to the party it is criticizing the military council for what it says has failed promises it says it has been torturing suspects and it has targeted any kind of critics of the regime i can tell you at the same time that the military council itself has ordered the justice ministry to

investigate this latest wave of violence but of course people here are saying that that there's precious little to deal with their concerns and big grievances they start with very much indeed for bringing us the some of the i mean this waiting tensions in the direction capital cairo policy are reporting their. word is labor m.p. jeremy corbyn believes change is unlikely in the country unless the west stop supporting the military rulers there. it's western double standards our work par excellence. in very good live in order to change the government because of threats against the people you put sanctions against some countries because of impressions of civil liberties the case of bahrain saudi arabia has a very good. bahrain you know if we take the molecule the case in saudi arabia massive violations of human rights and no intervention i think the worst place is really quite happy to carry on with a military structure if you think you have something that is really because if you

have any new government coming in that challenges the authority of military it's going to have a huge it seems to me the brush this would go before the elections taking place moscow has lashed out at new u.s. sanctions against iran saying they contradict international law and complicate potential constructive dialogue with the country washington announced the measures against iran monday targeting the country's energy and financial industries that followed the u.k. also declaring that it was cutting all ties with the rain banks including central bank a measure also undertaken by canada the measures are a result of the latest report from the un's nuclear watchdog claiming iran's working on building an atomic weapon but new sanctions targeting iran's main baggett are also designed to make it more difficult for the country to develop and maintain its oil and gas sectors u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton warned increasingly aggressive actions against

the country will continue and urged other governments to put pressure on syria iran but its author and journalist david lindorff leaves rushing towards iran could bring dire consequences. all the signs are looking exactly like they looked in the period of two thousand and one and she doesn't three here in the u.s. with this you know drumbeat of hysteria. and weapons of mass destruction every leader of the united states keep seeing all. there on the table this thing and you'd be asian is on the table in israel of course constantly threatening to attack i mean if you really want to get a country to get a nuclear weapon and just keep threatening it with attack the sanctions will probably have a negative effect on the u.s. goals of trying to drive a wedge between people and their government because people get so angry at the sanctions and see them as a threat so i think what you'll see in iran is probably something similar with the

rallying by people to their government and to the you know nationalistic feelings when they're under attack from countries like the united states and israel. the world could be standing on the precipice of ice third world war and nuclear annihilation if anti action is taken against iran a clear warning from former u.s. senator mike gravel and you can watch his full interview next hour but here's a preview of. this whole ginning up of a war with iran very dangerous because iran is not syria not lebanon and iran is a proud nation and they have missile capabilities they won't have nuclear capabilities but they have missile capabilities that they can rain down on television now i can tell you if they are attacked they will attack back and and israel is so vulnerable and so small that they will retaliate they'll use nukes you could

start a third world nuclear war but you responsibly attacking iran. syria's ambassador to the united nations has accused european powers of declaring it diplomatic war against his country his comments come after germany and britain and france sponsored a un resolution condemning human rights violations in the country on monday at least twenty people were reportedly killed and continuing anti-government protest taking he's increasing pressure on the mask is calling for a new sanctions to be adopted this week turkey's now also claiming it no longer trusts its former ally but russia says calls from certain states for the syrian opposition to avoid dialogue with the government are provocation on an international scale and only leads to further violence author and journalist webster tarpley who is in damascus as the west is behind the crisis in the country

many academics or other groups that have concrete suggestions or another suggestion of the crisis in italy i speak with economists. about why when it comes to finding a solution to the crisis but people seem to be being left out of the equation what we've seen happening to a crisis has seemed to a lot of people very very confusing she think this economic and political games has begun to take it back and give the decision to the people here this is affecting. us. and i was a year before there were. could happen dres suggestion of a referendum followed by his sharp exit eventually people are going to have to be

asked what they want is quite strong here is a restaurant that there's an alternative to being inside the year and it's become increasingly clear that there is and always has been a choice about people were allowed to make one people are afraid in the block me every day they're saying to them that look if you don't accept what the europeans are saying if you don't accept this there are the measures imposed by the government and by the i.m.f. . it will be heavy was leading to you raising still remains an extremely unpopular course that say to you is simply continuing along brussels past which until now has meant more stary to the painful job cuts will bail outs the new solution all of which has led to growing station rest threatens to undermine the whole concept of european unity search r.t.

copying was a problem with you is not going to last both because all you see is meant ineffective and exactly because they've left any kind of approval of the electorate while still having the program safe return home and tree of statesmen arrive back on earth after their half year mission on the international space station. russia's criticize the u.s. and nato for not doing enough to stop illegal drug trafficking from afghanistan the country pounds for more than ninety percent of the world's opium production moscow says the simplest solutions are the key to tackling the issue and eradicating poppy fields across the country will help solve the problem party's garnished account reports. these harmless looking afghan poppies have caused millions of deaths worldwide. russian the u.s. have teamed up to crack down on drug producers in afghanistan as

a result of joint operations a number of major labs were destroyed there but there is a stark difference in how russia and the u.s. see the solution to the problem because that was probably metaphorically speaking instead of destroying the machine gun nest this is just catching bullets flying from the machine gun and we suggest eradicating narcotic plants altogether as long as there are opium poppy fields there will be trafficking as simple as that but the u.s. and other nato countries have no intention to eradicate afghan poppy fields once and for all they say afghans need opium poppies to survive another inconsistency the issue of americans come up with here the u.s. together with the colombian government eradicates two hundred thousand hectares of coca pushes a year in afghanistan only two thousand hectares of poppy fields are being rather kid one hundred times less apart from the refusal to get rid of the poppies there is the alleged interest of international banks in dirty money there kardex have nearly as much share in the total world trade as oil and gas the head of russia's

drug enforcement suggested u.s. and european banks tacitly welcome and encourage the inflow of drug money and that is because the reports show that a persistent like liquidity and an aspiration to survive during a crisis promote not only tolerance for criminal money but also encouraging attitude of availability of such money there was silent consent in the us audience to the russian proposal to stop the banks from laundering drug money we can interdict and seize tons of narcotics we can make arrests of traffickers but we really need to choke off the farm supply this there was also a sense of doubt where the western authorities can actually take on those very powerful financial institutions the u.s. and other nato countries are obviously not into the idea of a program. poppy fields all together the sides irrational banks still seem to mind the huge inflow of dirty money but experts say that the status quo would lead to millions more dying in the future which could be prevented i'm getting reporting

from washington. now is equal to some other stories from around the world first to levy a worthy interim prime minister is set to announce the country's new governments today durham al qaeda will name a cabinet of experts to steer the country to its first democratic elections a new government is due to remain in place until the middle of next year when elections for a new us and we help countries follow your model he was captured and killed just one month ago after being in power for forty two years. yet he tribesmen opposed to president saleh claimed they stormed a military base near the capital and made off with weapons a number of people were said to have been killed on both sides in the raid it's the latest in a series of battles between tribesmen and forces backing saddam was clinging to power the spike months of protests demanding the downfall of his regime meanwhile in the south the army killed twenty islamist militants after coming under an artillery attack. bahrain as admitted using excessive force during pro-democracy

the recent have a spray occupy protesters by the u.s. for me it's. time now for the business update with stay with us. it's twenty three minutes past one pm here in moscow volcom to the business program the russian market server making gains on tuesday after experiencing the biggest drop since early october in the previous session despite the bounce the mood remains decidedly negative as business artie's. i mean busters are still

concerned over this over and the price is riding to the euro zone's the biggest economies and that was quite evident yesterday we saw a sea over red across the board and there are a number of factors play an incident there are now concerns over france's aaa credit rating and that's after movies warned over the country's rising cost of that as well as a weak i can on with our low and it also mentioned reisa risks for germany because all of its banks exposure to troubled european economies but everyone is expecting to hear what will happen on wednesday when the european commission is expected to present a study which will have a real option for joining that issuance and this is largely seen as a step closer to the euro zone discussing the euro poor ones where the dead so will be back collectively by all members rather than individually there is a similar story taking place right now in the u.s. very little investor confidence there is actually most expect the special congressional committee to fail and its quest to find

a solution to the country's so huge a deficit and another blow was as some pure ratings agency announced about it in my downgrade some of the biggest banks in the u.s. so definitely nor a lot of positive data coming out from europe or the u.s. at the moment. and let's now have a look at the numbers or less on the bars as renewed concerns about a possible military strike against iran that's offset by worries about the health of the world's biggest economies that of e.t.i. is more than ninety seven dollars a barrel branch is trading at over one hundred seven dollars a barrel. european equities are gaining value that's what see and the docs are putting on more than one percent each this is our banks and resource officers benefiting the most. and here russia investors see monday's slide as a buying opportunity the sour. the r.t.s. as i almost wonder was the sound of my sex being about one percent.

and most of the blue chips are trading in the black including financials the t.v. is up almost two percent so allies are makers are crime is among the top gainers it's tripled in almost three full of increase and without profit for the first five months of the year m.p.'s adding more than two percent in mining companies looking to buy an australian iron producer its wonders markets. low i.q. the markets are extremely volatile investing in all of related stocks could prove a good strategy so you can from. there isn't really a sea of heaven when markets so you can find a relative shelter in russia and from that point i would recommend the oil and gas sector the oil has been particularly resilient over the last several months and that's reflecting of the world strong fundamentals strong solid demand and

reasonably tight extra supply out there in the market the oil industries could be reasonably defensive and otherwise retention different stories are focused on different stories as well companies which have a track record of strong dividend yield in the oil and gas sector. from belew surrounding out their long lasting gas dispute veterans to newspaper cites a source close to talks saying moscow will finally cut the price of huff from it starting next year that means we'll pay around one hundred fifty dollars or one thousand cubic meters because trucked country has long been struggling to get a discount especially because it's creating a common economic zone with russia in exchange for price cuts agreed to sell moskowitz gas transportation network the countries are to sign the agreement at the end of this week. and that's all from the business team this hour i'll be back in less than an hour in about system that's about.
