from moscow you're watching r t welcome to its eleven pm here now my name is kevin zero in on the top story nearly two decades of talks have finally come to fruition as russia's accepted into the world trade organization it will strengthen the country's global ties and provide a big incentive for business to however membership of the club also comes hand in hand with tough competition is that your bushel highlights next. russia completes its eighteen year old a c to join the world trade body no other country has taken so long to enter president medvedev of russia has criticized the hurdles placed in russia's path towards joining he's accused the european union and united states in particular of illegal subsidies to their farmers and car makers know the pulse of industry in an attempt to stop competition from other countries. by consensus that means any

single state can block can block decisions a major complaints have come from georgia which has slowed up the procedure up of the russian delegation here is looking at the positives some states have benefited enormously from membership china's exports for example of skyrocketed to the west since the eight joined ten years ago but others have found it hard to cope with the foreign competition that comes it is a transition phase russia gets several years around seven on average from which to lower its import tariffs which makes it easier for foreign companies to export their products to russia but they will also be opportunities russia's does have quite a low cost base which means the russian producers can produce religiously cheaper cheaply compared to other countries and that should allow it you opportunities to export now the chief trade negotiator here for the w t o from russia side is makes the call he says that the parliament of russia does still need to ratify this agreement and he expects that to happen early next year. is the talks voices both

for and against you in the w t o been had in russia if not you know when to find out who will be the winners and be the losers once all the documents assigned jinnie. with almost two decades of hard talks now over it's still not clear exactly what russia's double duty or membership is offering the country and with most all the details of the agreement still firmly behind closed doors experts a left to try and little crystal ball gazing. their predictions begin with agriculture one of the most vulnerable areas it will probably be one of the most seriously affected to enter the w t o russia had to pledge to reduce in-state support to farming we've already travelled to hundred and fifty kilometers away from moscow and what we see here is a sad picture goes through it is like this one us road all across russia and with a struggle in agriculture industry there now worries only crazing thirty percent of

the countries are well and are currently not in use and the raw fear is that the cost of foreign subsidies like sessional grain well they make things dramatically worse russia though will hardly be starving lowy puts taxes will help fill the gap with foreign goods for customers it means bigger choice and lawyer prices while local producers may suffer or russia's currently importing forty five percent of all food products or may soon become fifty to seventy percent local producers will be on able to compete will go down. meanwhile those competitive enough will stay afloat and benefit alexander and his family run a small business just outside moscow there one hundred twenty go give enough milk to produce kilos of high quality cheese and a bit back in the crystal ball the future doesn't look bright for all the car industry is another risky area with an open market this as soviet era facility

is going to have to go head to hand with the latest technology that mystic carbon uses have been won that may start the w t o critics. russia's major industry will be unable to meet the increased competition in the expression of a tract offering a gloomy prediction that once the country's in bad lines will stop factories will charge and thousands of people will be left out of work and out of la however the predictions continue to do away with foreign investments said to be ready to rocket the cumulative gains we believe or roughly three point three percent of russian g.d.p. in. early years after accession. to more like ten years with the grocer would gain about eleven percent of g.d.p. but apart from economic achievements the country's political image should benefit and maybe what's more important russia will no longer be an outsider but

a part of the prestigious clan not been part of the global body would of the past be a little strange russia has been the biggest economy not to be integrated into the w t o but after an eighteen year marathon of negotiations all the world's key players finally come together under the same umbrella. written off now t. moscow we'll just let you know as well we've got a lot more analysis on this with our business to you they've been crunching the numbers for you they've taken a close look at what w t o membership is going to mean for business in russia we got the lowdown on that and just about a little bit less than twenty minutes time tonight. the u.n. security council's pouring of the details of a new draft resolution about syria that's been put forward by russia it condemns all sides in the ongoing conflict calling for violence to stop but there's no mention of sanctions was has been trying to mediate a peaceful solution for months now but there's been little let up in the violence activists say at least six people died friday when security forces opened fire on

demonstrators earlier in the week over two dozen states security officers were killed in fighting with defectors the free syrian army claims to have. more than twenty five thousand troops in its ranks fighting to bring down president assad western states still don't acknowledge that anti regime protesters a rom but asia times correspondent pepe escobar told me there's plenty of evidence that that is actually happening and that the weapons a coming from abroad. but since or stay is what the u.s. and nato countries consider and accept an acceptable is that the syrian government cannot fight an armed insurgency in their own territory the free syrian army they're getting weapons smuggled from the middle east to the borders in turkey any in jordan as well this has been already proved then about the u.n. figures a lot of people are seriously question now the appeal lies numbers if she's saying

that five thousand people were killed over these past few months it makes like almost the one hundred that the effect so there's a default of pre-war is already there so the russian move is an intelligent move because it's a preemptive i would say resolution it condemns both sides and asks for a u.n. peacekeeping mission in fact to solve the problem there are tanks inside homs and hama for instance this ng is we still don't know the rule of snipers that we see of even if people i talk to in homes they tell me look we don't know where d.c. snipers come from de could be government but they could be open in this and they could be mercenaries trying to incite civil war any fact most of the civilian killings are by these snipers and they even shocked children so what they want and what nato wants is simmering civil war let's put it this way as

a friend you for something much tougher probably after the american election in one year. coming up here on r t nine eleven and claims of links to a round by u.s. pool rules that the islamic state supreme leader provided support for al qaeda is a type of america we've got more on the actual record. also father why independent celebrations in one town in kazakhstan turned violent earlier on today at least ten people dead. two of the world's emerging economic powers russia and india are looking to become anchors of stability in a sea of global crisis at a meeting in moscow president medvedev and prime minister singh discussed all range of pivotal issues from military and energy ties to the political troubles of their neighbors right now he's a cutter in a great show of it's up to speed on a story. as the crisis continues to readjust the world economic powers emerging

economies like russia and india look more than sad today to remain firmly in the spotlight as members of the breaks group they alone encompass more about it beeped of the world's land coverage and their g.d.p. in twenty eleven stood at seven billion dollars and it continues to grow and one of the grim unsane dia and russia reached today it concerns the building of the further two. units of the. station in india russia has already built two units and one of them will start operating in two weeks from now also into prime minister the russian president answered to an agreement today to build a nuclear enrichment facility in the common mon singh also signed a ten year lease of russian submarines that will soon be entering the indian navy and they will be some very big purchase coming soon and is about to buy forty two upgraded russian support third jets the russian president and the prime minister of

course looked at the recent developments in the north africa and the wider middle east they also discuss the iranian nuclear program they agree that the north african and the middle east peace settlement should proceed without foreign interference now concerning one sided actions against iran they described it as a counterproductive and leading into nowhere but from their side they promise that they will continue to work closely together in g. and russia to prevent the global nuclear proliferation. he's a hero to some he's a traitor to others bradley manning the u.s. army private accused of siphoning military secrets off to wiki leaks is appeared a pretrial hearing at an army base in maryland among the documents manning allegedly leaked was footage showing u.s. soldiers killing civilians in iraq the charges he's facing could carry the death penalty well kevin zeese is from the bradley manning support network in washington d.c.

is joining us now kevin very good evening to you thanks for being on your organizations become a part of your manning to be free what are your reasons for demanding his release could you briefly outline for us. well first off we think that manning is not someone who's a traitor he was. documents to foreign enemies he didn't profit from them he is accused of giving them to the media and what he gave the media were allegedly were very low level documents low security and probably should not have been declassified documents at all if you look at video of the area where the documentary the computers were used for these documents they had the password stuck on the computer so anybody had access to them in fact hundreds of thousands of people did have access to these documents there are very little secrets no negative impact on national security we're also worried that i mean you can't get a fair trial president obama has already announced that he's guilty he's the commander in chief it's a command structure in the military cerebrally who is involved in the judge the jury the prosecutor the convening authority all under president obama's command

their careers on the land line they are no choice but to say manning is guilty if they want to keep their military career since the president or a certain he's guilty. lawyer as well as claimed at the hearing that the investigating officer is biased as well it appears he's only accepted two of thirty eight defense witness is that correct what you think about. well he's asked for a lot of defense witnesses understand as the prosecutors only agreed to those that they were going to call as well i think they'll be one of the key things will learn today how many of the witnesses the judge will also determine how lengthy this hearing is so i think a lot of the witnesses all they're all justifiable even even the even called for surgery say clinton and president obama obama because of the under command influence if you saying that in public the man is guilty what's he saying in private to people in the military secretary of state clinton is relevant because she could do testify to the classified nature the documents and also the any any harm that was done the national security manning's lawyer has asked for three

reports done by the department of defense the state department the white house on the impact on national security and the government refused to provide that information to manning i know you're saying the fuss is far away the crime. the actions that are being done how strong is the prosecution's case. what's we're going to find out. has been held in prison now for eighteen months about the twelve months of that was held in solitary confinement which would be torture in most countries and he has not had a day in court yet so today is his first time to go to court it's the first time that we're going to hear what kind of evidence the government has and they have to prove their case and so that will be a key factor i think the key defense is preventing them from proving their case just because you don't like the country's foreign policy doesn't mean you can add to the whole planet as exactly what one of manning's critics said to one of our reporters earlier on can you see any side. with any of that. the other side of that

argument is that. someone who's in the military who sees crimes being committed and that's what these documents show are a range of crimes including crimes where the secretary of state who ordered diplomats to spy on u.n. diplomats come in new york see that's against the law we've seen it with war crimes as well and a soldier who's in that situation is the choice of ignoring the nuremberg principles and becoming complicit in these crimes or exposing those crimes if meaning is guilty of what he's accused what does he get what he's guilty of is telling the truth the truth so the american public can see what the u.s. military and state department actually are doing and of course against kevin the bigger picture what it say about as a society even a man could face the death penalty what many people say as you're saying he was simply telling the truth briefly what he thought so. that's exactly right i think this is a this trial is embarrassment to the u.s. military and he united states it shows a great deal of fear of the truth and fear the truth is what's driving this

prosecution and i think that something that the united states should look in the mirror at and recognize it's time this missed these charges manning has already been to be punished too severely eighteen months in jail one year of that in solitary confinement he's already it's already obvious he can't get a fair trial with president finding already announcing he's guilty it's time to recognize these realities of this case to be dismissed and we can move on and recognize that we need to redo our foreign policy because it's got lots of serious problems kevin zeese thanks for your thoughts on international from the bradley manning support network in washington d.c. . thank you very much meanwhile the founder of wiki leaks is court appointed his ongoing legal battle with the british government the supreme court in london as a great to hear julian assange who's appeal against extradition now britain wants to send the sons to sweden the face questioning over rape allegations made by two swedish women he denies any wrongdoing but two lower courts have previously ruled against him for the supreme court to agree to hear is appeals are just lawyers had it this way to judge is that his case raised

a question of general public importance peals going to be considered in february now claim against him is politically motivated livy is extradited he will receive a fair trial. the u.s. courts won a default judgment that a radian officials including its supreme leader khamenei provided help to the nine eleven hijackers beyond the worst terror attack on american soil the most it was filed by the families of the atrocities victims there were no arabian representation in the court michel chossudovsky director of the center of research on globalization told me a bit earlier the u.s. he thinks is paving the way now for a campaign in iran. it's just the fact i could said it as a whole i believe propaganda ploy directed against iran where you accuse iran of the eleven look you took away team or the rug that is not the only. you know

me get this information. campaign which is not being waged against against iran i think this is crazy cause of the problem again to show you devil i see you and i me you presents a rather as a threat to global security you know as an upcoming nuclear call which the rest of the world do say that iran supports the war on terrorism when in fact it was terrorism this is supported by the united states of america and we see that live here where they actually supports it the libyan islamic fighting group and it's also full of sewage and in fact we are dealing with fabrications and fabrications where a lot of shit which has been all painted goes through a wall and maybe it is no use seeking a justification to go lie but we've seen the drone attacks we've seen various. we've seen the sights of this regime. we should just keep plugging up

a few stories online if you tonight might be interested in pakistan of the u.s. go to the deadly nato strike with some experts now saying islamic bad could start openly defying u.s. policy in the region this developing story we've got the latest on our web site also we discover the fatal the russian aid convoy has been halted for days at the troubled checkpoint between serbia and kosovo again the long running story keep up to date on our web site. a battle for the future of the internet continues with the u.s. congress debating amendments to the stop online privacy. legislation aims to slash the amount of pirated online content but some of the original engineers of the internet of strongly criticized the bill saying it would create an environment of fear and innovation as opposed to our and swartz a web programmer and net activist told me thinks it could end up with the web falling into government. the government doesn't just take down the infringing

material it takes on the site entirely and it does it without even a trial the find out whether it's illegal or not and as you know copyright laws are extremely complicated there are lots of things that look like copyright infringement but turn out to be licensed in one way or another part of this is a larger crackdown on freedom of speech there's pretty much no other law that would give the government the power to censor the internet that wouldn't be laughed out of congress you know if you said the government needed to censor the internet to protect national security it would be widely seen in america is totally unacceptable and beyond the pale but by using copyright as a wedge issue suddenly we're able to put this power in the hands of the government and then once they have it it can be expanded and expanded to deal with a whole range of other things one of the interesting provisions in this law is it doesn't just shut down websites it also increases the penalties for people caught in gauging and copyright infringement so for example if you make a video on you tube of yourself singing and copyrighted song this bill would increase the penalty to that to ten years in jail so there's all sorts of people who do these things that would just be considered part of natural life as
