the u.n. human rights council meets to force through a security council resolution on syria after a quarter earlier this week claimed the four thousand people have been killed since march. pulled their doubts over the objectivity of the report based on a just of use of two hundred witnesses more on that coming up in a few moments. germany says there are no rapid solutions to the ongoing debt crisis and it could take years to overhaul the eurozone and save the single currency. twenty five thousand people marched through manhattan angry at

a lack of jobs and low wages echoing the mood of the occupy wall street movement. is now a four pm on friday here in moscow this is with me ruben sushi welcome to the program russia says a united nations report on syria is not objective all based on reality and the international community is receiving biased reports on events in the country it comes as the u.n. human rights council holds an emergency meeting on syria i mean to put pressure on damascus and condemn alleged crimes against humanity let's get more on this now if not these tests are serious standing by live for us in brussels so why are they doubts about the veracity of this u.n. report. well i think the russian ambassador to the u.n. has some of those doubts in what he had said well he has said the international

community often gets a unilateral prejudicial and biased reports about the events in syria and this is the drawback of the report and there's not reflect the actual situation in syria it has to be said though that almost all of the countries if not all have expressed concerns about what's going on in syria the question here that he has raised is on the process of gathering that evidence to condemn serious when calling for tougher resolution on the country again if you remember this is the third meeting a special meeting held on the situation in syria and this is coming on the back of sanctions fresh e.u. sanctions slapped on the country and this is also right after the u.n. has called the situation on the ground a civil war saying that we've got more more than four thousand syrians have already been killed so it's not so one of the doubts expressed is not so much to say that this is not happening it's so much questioning the legal process a process of gathering evidence in order to support tougher resolution is not a country because in effect this is calling the international community to come up

with a strong move short of a humanitarian war as we had seen in libya so once again the question is be race now on syria reminds us of the questions that have been raised before that humanitarian war was launched in the. there is no evidence to justify the humanitarian war in libya that's the conclusion of filmmaker and independent journalists in the beginning of the story we got some really good show in which it's been. even said to the united nations human rights council and those allegations of never been verified or chick and z. said the news also was michael your four zero i.c.c. case against him. on march seventeenth the u.n. security council resolution one thousand seven hundred three was passed imposing a no fly zone over libya. accusations were that gadhafi bombed his own people for air and land use foreign mercenaries ordered the use of rape as

a weapon and killed by the thousands. conclude that there was no bombing what i know is that there is no if you don't so. and so i in turn he was a man went to the united nations human rights council. seaman which again was the former secretary general of the libyan league for human rights and all the libyan ambassador to burn in switzerland on february twenty five he went to the un human rights council to present his organization's allegations of crimes against his office government and that session a decision was taken to freeze livest membership in the council he underlie the number of deaths six thousand including three thousand in tripoli alone when julian asked which a gear how these claims can be verified he pointed to the former rebels now libya's government as his source here where it all got information from the libyan prime minister mr mahmoud of the graphology tribe was on the other side of the national

transitional council was the one who gave me these numbers. yet there are still those who defend the libyan intervention like this former french intelligence officer it is very likely that some crimes attributed to their feet in this conflict were farce or exaggerated but we all do because of khadafi for forty years in the put if he was a terrorist. on june twenty seventh international criminal court prosecutor luis accountable then his requests for arrest warrants were more margaret coffey saif al islam and get off his intelligence chief was granted you always see the pages of the arrest for example cation most of which were redacted among the pages so consider probably were you support a call for support the case one of which was which against every twenty fifth speech the one place in information who should get himself said he got the empty seat but those who raised questions risk of being accused of taking the side of a man seen as

a brutal dictator already labeled by some world powers as the bad guy. international law even cheerleaders of the intervention admit tends to be sacrificed. you are certainly right that they would produce something which is not all of politically correct i don't believe so much in international law is just a tool used in one or the other for political purposes regardless julia's point is simply this with such legal systems in place any claims first and foremost should be farly investigated a point he hopes will be heard before the next humanitarian war is waged that's our silly r t brussels. they're holding their breath egyptians are waiting for the results of the country's historic parliamentary election the muslim brotherhood has already claimed victory and demanded that the new parliament form a government that's something the military rulers say they will not allow thousands

of people remain skeptical over the ballot calling for the army to step in. is gauging the mood on the streets of cairo. this was the first of three rounds of voting for the lower house of parliament nine out of twenty seven provinces have voted including cairo and alexandria the remaining provinces world rests with this month in january and then they will be voting for the apples of parliament this entire election process and not over before march the muslim brotherhood ensuring the largest support base at this stage and this is not in an expected it is the largest the oldest and the most well organized political group in here in egypt despite the fact that it was once banned according to the brotherhood's own exit polls its freedom and justice party is expected to walk away with some forty percent of votes this will then be followed by these salafi are newer which looks fixedly at some twenty percent of the election ballots now there has been some concern particularly among sick universe that the muslim brotherhood might form an

alliance with eastern officer honor and the brotherhood has denied this the slightest honor it is a much more conservative party it has a much stricter interpretation of islam and there is a massive demonstration that is being planned for the friday in this where it has been a tribute to the heroes of one hundred. years of the street with the few who keep were killed and more than a thousand people were injured in recent clashes between not only the police and protesters now there are twenty three political groupings who are the high end of today's demonstration and talking to protesters who will be up there in tahrir square they say that the large turnout at the polls is simply an illusion people have that the situation will improve there for as long as the military the ways and how it nothing in egypt will change until the rallying point among the demonstrators the term here has not changed and that is that the military needs to step down immediately over the past few weeks we've seen some of the worst clashes in recent months that would be interesting to gauge the kind of anger and the kind

of response coming up from the square when these elections that many here believe should not have happened when those results are announced. his policy of a reporter from cairo not just anger in cairo but also anger on the streets of new york as we report later all over claims of glaring inequality. i work hard every day in the week or even two nickels to rub together jobs and opportunities drives a fresh wave of protests in new york as a wealthy few pay thirty five thousand dollars each to attend an obama reelection fundraiser also plain trouble. conservatives with america has so many enemies of its enemies want to attack us. locals in kyrgyzstan alongside leaders demand the removal of an american airbase saying it threatens their national security guy as well as the health of.

our ten minutes past the hour here in moscow a taliban suicide bomber caused scores of casualties outside a nato military base in afghanistan and it's caused more concern over just how stable the country is as foreign combat troops start their withdrawal ahead of a two thousand and fourteen deadline to leave although a substantial presence is expected to remain to train the locals there let's discuss this now live with us of sri ram sharia from the jingle school of international affairs i live in new delhi thank you for coming on the program today the u.s. has said they want to pull out of afghanistan by two thousand and fourteen claiming they would leave a stable country behind does that sound realistic at all after these latest bombings. not at all rory unfortunately the escalation game between the united states and pakistan has now reached a very very advanced level with nor going back i think the pakistani military was so annoyed with the recent killings of their soldiers on the border that did have

now said you know the gloves are off and we're going to. come forward because the consequences are bugs in the army's pretty confident that it will be able to withstand any kind of pressure because it's a nuclear weapon state genderless truckie army the head of the proxima military has gone on record warning the united states not to think that part the sun is going to push over the iraq or afghanistan war when the invaded them so this is this means the united states withdrawal is going to be terribly complicated because this is a recipe for more and more instability more and more sensitive i don't know if you had to say i don't know alan joyce interrupting her to apologize as you as you talk about the regional implications you mentioned pakistan a moment ago we will get to pakistan in just just a minute or so here on r.t. if i may though the u.s. has claimed additional troops will stay longer to advise afghan security forces is that hiding any other motivation here what are america's real goals in afghanistan after more than

a decade of war is still chasing the taliban. well our you know it's an unfortunate historical reality that long after the immediate security needs in the rat race on that or for u.s. forces is over this stay on they will be says and then they hunker down and their views you don't get people either with united states has view security through the lenses of its military bases which continue to be over seven hundred in number so although there is an argument that president obama and his team are now moving towards into an area will be a stage security policy reared they will have only counterterrorism you know through braun's and probably cockers and that they don't really want people on the ground occupying countries for a long time the reality is that the pentagon is pushing for the same or strategy we had to hunker down and steer for as long as they can so this is going to mean that even after twenty fourteen units and especially between the u.s. and pakistan will mean that it will become a justification for the united states to stay on for

a much longer so as you as you say that the u.s. has a long term plans in the region for example afghanistan whether they call it the war on terror a chase in the taliban or training security forces america's motives are quite quite different now a moment ago you mentioned pakistan let's let's cover this issue here because last week we saw the rapid deterioration as you say the continued deterioration of ties between washington and islamabad most recently over a nato drone strike that killed twenty four soldiers now pakistan has i decided to boycott a regional security conference regarding afghanistan's future on monday and then also at one point it shut down a vital nato supply line in the region are we seeing it escalation of tensions between washington and islamabad and what are the consequences likely to be. you know it's been a continuous load own words from b one two thousand one thousand eleven ten years it's been a disastrous corporative game it used to be called by critics as

a double game very party stand hunted with the hones and then run with the hears but now i think the parts of the military in the parks only public opinion is sufficiently inflamed and read by these are cross border raids on the americans to the point that i think they will now acknowledge at least in private that the this is an open war and in fact even the us media is no more or less reporting to pakistan as the real enemy so this doesn't auger well because parts of the nuclear on stage and i think it is a recipe for p.r. . instability in the region and for the party sunny's the army is even more hurt because very recently there were these allegations that the civilian regime in islamabad was colluding with the americans with prior properly armed forces and from their porch as the key decision making authority so again american influence usually comes in the form of picking winners and losers and also taking sides within the internal politics of countries i'm afraid that for the sake of democratization of what he's done and for peace in the region. of the

disaster we do we do we do apologize there we just lost the signal with charlie a professor of vice dean in the school of international affairs wish we had more time for that and slightly fewer technical difficulties where you are with r.t. live from moscow and moving on here the person essentially in charge of europe's purse strings said there is no easy fix to the euro zone's debt crisis and finding a solution will take years surely chancellor angela merkel said the region needs a new financial union with stronger controls and debt regulations she's also once again rejected the idea of a joint boring for the eurozone but merkel and french president nicolas sarkozy are pushing for a revamp of existing e.u. regulation. to keep them on a train and tie but to lead us out he said to propose a joint action in a case i met him brussels next week if he knew we organise action will also be discussed between stock causey and british prime minister david cameron later on

friday with the u.k. concerned its influence in the e.u. is being undermined but economics professor or a new plan about it says the whole year of project was booming from the start. i think the real problem is really your leadership in the ninety's starting with an experiment that many economists thought a good time was wrong on called for and very risky road they were taking the risk of starting a monetary union the result of strong glue union now the try to restore that misty right a strengthening the glue who you need that may not work and you can say to greece that was not who was thinking and it's costing also all a lot not just the euro because people throughout the world will suffer from this and of course the largest bronzes it is on the part of these for a german and the german people are basically the largest psalms to keep this whole thing going and the support of the german people is dwindling so merkel has

also been a serious problem had to have the disparity between economies is serious and it is not being resolved business school union i think that what is needed these are also europeans are going to pay taxes to brussels to bear your pay if you would taxes receive more benefits nothing of that is in place here in europe and the miracles glans are not addressing here you sure can. he watching r.t. live from moscow do you bear in mind the arts he taught com is always online for you with a lot more stories and many i'm catching videos are here's are some of what you'll find there right now. the questions they were asking are absolutely stupid and that's when i actually got scared of russian women who earn her right to remain of the u.k. after being wrongly accused of espionage talks about her year long battle against the british security services. but as london hunts for foreign spooks there seems

to be a lack of agents in its own ranks as intelligence services seek to recruit geeks through a code breaking game on the internet. in seven minutes is the business news but for now a vast new protest wave was swept through new york as some twenty thousand people marched demanding better jobs and economic opportunities the demonstration was organized by labor unions but the rhetoric borrowed liberally from the occupy movement which has been protesting in the u.s. for months he's heard the voices of discontent. this event has been organized by the new york city labor council that is an umbrella for more than one hundred unions and the reason these people say they're out on the street is that they are frustrated and fed up with the id cannot make disparity between the rich and poor the sick more than fourteen million unemployed and unemployed at the moment the one percent the richest one percent america has tripled its wealth in

the past thirty years what this shows is that the eyes sentiments that nothing that by the occupy wall street movement for over the past two months are now being forced by labor unions at a larger scale we did see lever union suing occupy wall street a month or so ago but that turnout was not as large as this one the people taking from the stands are walking around with signs of think we are the ninety nine percent we are the backbone and the working class of the united states that is being ignored for you people course this country as you can see it's a national. push that people are making making decisions they will with little we have let. people from out. there make sure that we're super. high we're caught every day. in that we don't even have to nickels to rub together. looks like

you're not the only one that there's thousands of people walking the streets and i tell you work hard every day get up four thirty every morning. to get construction my kitchen school. that traditionally people finally. the irony here is that i don't waste a u.s. president praful bottle was in new york city for three fundraisers for his reelection campaign one of those fundraisers more than thirty five thousand dollars per ticket to excite. many here say that. i chose. between the. magazine and what is being. the odd constituents and they say that if things are not achieved the crowd that you see out here will most supply by i'd enormous amount in the coming months. or night party power twenty minutes past the hour here

in the russian capital washington faces a diplomatic challenge in central asia the u.s. hopes to persuade stands to continue leasing them a crucial air base south of the current agreement expires in two thousand and fourteen the military facility is used to fly servicemen and supplies to afghanistan. has a new president who wants america out it's a sentiment on a boy discovered that's being shared by many of the locals. they call it operation enduring misery several times a day u.s. military planes take off from an airport near the caves capital bishkek there and ins generating a lot of anger and mung the locals that see this it's so noisy here i can barely sleep that in soviet times the village of there was famous across kyrgyzstan for years to guarantee quarter melons but ever since the americans landed here ten years ago locals say the quality of their crops has been steadily declining like

most of his neighbors. is convinced americans at dumping fuel on the fields are grounding the base his commanders deny your pleasure is mine i watch the u.s. planes come and go several times a day i know. the noise is disturbing when i sort of got used to what's really bad is that they're killing nature the fields and the crops and people's health is getting worse through the current this air base represents the shortest and the most efficient route to deliver you supplies and servicemen into afghanistan nicknamed the gateway to how it's the last safe start on the way to combat but for the residents here are getting rid of the base is a battle in its own right i mean kind of seems we are going to america has so many enemies exporting wars in afghanistan iraq and libya to be part of its enemies want to attack us smiling. one former colleagues press than stand there americans and

the victualling notice only to negotiate at st paul police increase a few months later the problem in year record hundred but he was ousted from office on allegations of corruption related to payments from the us based mistrust and even has been the local said u.s. troops abroad are hardly anything new many countries are hosting american bases despite sometimes very strong objections of the indigenous population but here in kyrgyzstan they are. so politically charged has already shown the power of nature of breaking once presidency yet america's presence in the region has its legal benefits to military gear in accessories have long found their way to biscuits bazaars thanks to a shady network of buyers and sellers secondhand u.s. military uniform is held in very high regard here the owner of this business who doesn't want us to share his face says he usually gets it from american troops on

the plan for a couple hundred bucks and he sells it to a wide range of clients many of whom come from all over the former soviet union according to the basis commanders the americans do try to be nice in addition to sixty million dollars a year for the least use personnel and kyrgyzstan have done volunteer work and raise money to renovate a local school and locals are appreciative they say they have nothing against the americans per se except that they have long outstayed their welcome it's not a boycott art see because. as you said with us here in our two year could be tree is next with business update but. it's real and welcome to business of the rush to the polls on sunday to choose who sits in the program he launches season who will then be concluded with the presidential vote in early march the week states of the global economy is having

a bleak effect on the campaign analysts say unlike previous years the government has not run public spending i haven't. i think it reflects the economy's growing quite strongly on its own it reflects concern about the global environment and the desire for more prudent policy but i think it also means that. we're starting in a slightly stronger position. than other war is second thing to say is that we are going to see some increases in spending and cuts in tax at the beginning of next year we're going to see big increase in police pay the peak increase in military pay and a big cuts in social contribution tax so there is already some increase in spending programs into the budget twenty twelve regardless of the result of the election. so going to the markets now is start with commodities we're heading for its first weekly gain in three classes between iran and the west as far as speculation as

applied from the islamic republic may be at risk meanwhile russian oil production slipped point one percent in november from october failing to climb for the first time in five months. european markets are higher there's our investors are more optimistic after the chancellor angela merkel made the point that officials are ready to tackle euro zone's debt crisis banks and resource stocks are on the rise again people. are up four point two and three point three percent respectively here in russia stocks are also up there heading for the first weekly advance in thought i even a very good week too and that is the price of oil is on the rise in markets also boosted by europe's that's to end the crisis take a look at what's moving the nice explosive new chips are recovering from early lawsuit russia's biggest lenders burbank two point six percent now konica after advisors been in the spotlight this week it's lower right now after food and sales

thing so europe is only one market for us so there's no change in our i'll look the point is that markets for sure going will flights if you have one big market like europe not developing as it did the last two years but we have seen strong growth last two years so we sometimes have to either still a lot of except that markets are running a little flat so there's no change there's a real plan behind be a mother because turbines will. later on the year are opening in boron on the transformer base the expand those activities will have probs so this is on track and will it executed as we normally do all right to say up to date with the latest business news you can join me in around fifty five minutes time i'll be here with nothing or no guns a website you know come forward slash business come i come out. of
