capsized into the freezing waters off process far east for people. at home is there any information yet about those who are missing. at the moment conditions in the rescue site two hundred kilometers off russia's far east coast of very difficult indeed there is at the moment just one ship in the darkness in the middle of a ferocious storm trying to find the forty nine unconfirmed missing people four bodies have been found but the storm is so bad the waves about six meters high with howling gales but they haven't managed to recover those bodies at the moment

there is still hope for the forty nine people that were on the oil rig but haven't been found they were all wearing diving suits at the time the rake sank a nose rescuers say may help keep them warm for longer and stave off the just above freezing temperatures in the sea we heard a little earlier from one of the rescuers. pull those rescued wearing diving suits every single one of the rigs crew was wearing a diving suit we should have kept them afloat in these icy waters. however the air temperature there is minus ten and they've been in the water for for many hours now hopes are starting to fade that people may be still found alive there's been quite a few setbacks in the rescue operation and mostly because of the weather night has now fallen there in the weather means that the two helicopters that helped.

fourteen people to safety have had to leave as has an aircraft and a tugboat that was also helping started itself to take on water its pumps were struggling to bail out and it's now limping back to port more ships are on the way to more should arrive in a few hours time but there at the moment it's just one ship on its own trying to search for those people a situation to silence critical mass and what do we know about why the rate went down. while at the time that the rig sank it was being towed back to port by another ship when this storm really brewed up the rigs own pumps which bail out water it's quite a normal procedure they were completely overwhelmed by the amount of water which meant that it sank very quickly in just twenty minutes that meant that no proper procedures for evacuation could be put into place rescuers have found life jackets

and rafts in the water all of them without any people using them we heard earlier about the state of the conditions but they found these jackets in earlier on. there are safety suits floating around the area but there are new people in them he means the crew was unable to get down to the lifeboats the boats were washed away with the flow of the water. investigators are saying that safety protocol was followed believed reached in the towing of this rig that's very official language what it really means is that it should never have been towed in the first place in such stormy seas and that was also probably the cause for it sinking so fast and people just having to jump ship in sort of very cold water as the president medvedev has said that a full investigation must be launched and that all help must be rendered to try and help those in the water and those that have been rescued as for now it is

a race against time and the hopes are swimming that people in the water are going to be found alive. many. tom bass in there reporting for us well the coal sky oil rig sank whilst it was being towed back to port after finishing a drilling expedition in the sea of a holes but there's no threat of an oil spill long like previous incidents involving oil in the world the biggest such disaster of course is last year's gulf of mexico accident when iran operated by b.p. exploded it took months to cap it but not before around five mean gallons of oil leaked into the russian platform in today's incident is the country's largest it was built back in one thousand nine hundred five it was due to set sail for drilling off the vietnamese coast at the end of its current assignment or even top developments on the tragedy in the sea of hearts stay with us.

well you are watching live from moscow with me alice have it has all the main news today and for the week more deadly violence in the wake of the catholics down a crackdown which saw eleven striking workers killed on independence day after. the arab league gives damascus until wednesday to stop the bloodshed while russia pushes its resolution at the security council calling for both sides in syria to talk. and russia is welcomed to the global trade off to almost twenty years of two weeks of the move to bring the balance just as in tough competition. of our warm welcome to western kazakstan is experiencing further violence in the wake of a deadly independence day clash the latest fighting saw one person killed and

eleven others injured as a rally against friday's lethal crackdown on striking workers. is across the latest from the central asian country. google protesters blocked a really station including train with over three hundred people on board in western kazakhstan in total seven bastard trains and three freight trains were delayed and at around eight pm local time six pm moscow time police came in trying to disperse the crowd but instead google around fifty people and the authorities call them now who showed fierce resistance they were going to set a locomotive on fire if you multiply that the train and the police some of them only moved into. setting a christmas tree on fire breaking shop windows car windows and cetera and authorities say that their actions at one point became a threat to the lives of the locals and off the. authorities so they had to use

force including with a live rounds as a result twelve people were hospitalized with gunshot wounds and one of them died that is particularly rally was actually initially organized in support of another one which happened in the town of jenin i was in this all down also in western kazakhstan and what happened there on friday is that a protest rally against the salaries combined with celebrations of twenty years of kazakhstan's independence just spiraled out of control it's still not clear what exactly triggered it but at one point the angry crowd began setting buildings on firing looting state facilities see that forty six buildings have been burned down the clashes with the police as well and also unfortunately the authorities say they were forced to. retaliate and retake the sensualist situation under their control

so some live shots were used there as well and according to official figures eleven people were killed in that incident several dozen others were injured although some sources suggest that the figures are much higher than that. maintain the situation is under control journalist tatiana has been now told r.t. she believes outside influence is behind the unrest oh workers in generalising have been striking for fairly long already for several months it is treasury now which is those people they're all dressed in clothes from their guns uniforms this is fairly strange for strike two uniformed you know they were just crushing things around them and they were behaving too organized and they weren't attacking authorities and at least. it looks like this is being let down even one of the opposition leaders that this is not in the interests of what we see

that you are getting killed because they are not fighting for their own ideas. syria's leaders have been given until wednesday to stop the violence and that observers in the arab league says it will turn to the u.n. security council for action russia is defending its own proposed resolution on syria but the u.s. and its allies want it changed moscow is appealing to both the regime and the opposition to end the bloodshed and begin to move because it was out foreign intervention and sanctions but some western states say they can't accept that blame rests on damascus alone after spite thousands of army defectors claim to be fighting to bring down the middle east politics professor jeremy salt says the main task now is persuade both sides to put down their weapons. except. so far there's very little bonsa very warm one word. directed towards.

them as we very little reference to the violence ongoing project their bonnets began almost. crying because i'm. generally pleased with them because you know. they're more recently the body and. that in fact he was modest but it was a little but check this now i think. a way out of this be song which the government is going to have to accept that in fact we didn't do it and it's not just the syrian government it has to come if you want to for the army to work with sound but somehow way have you found. waiting others to put their weapons on the tiriel because they hop in the millions or whatever happens that. we can dream very serious. and global implications nothing will protect you very wary of that they agree with russia's position and so far russia solidly behind the syrian government . this position today being at the time that russia changes its position i

personally don't see it like that i think much is going to college on the way out of which we can go because first of all putting on the witness because so many charges and countercharges being made it would be almost impossible to get back to all of them so it would change the way that they way had now it's that tried to stop the killing of a badass. libya's banks are getting some much needed cash flow again after the u.n. lifted some economic sanctions wanted helps the new leaders grapple with a regime change they brought their problems elsewhere following the toppling and killing of camel gadaffi clashes between tried and creeps iraq to the capital this week libya's new government also want a question from the divine protestors in benghazi where the gal they will be to leadership to quit saying it's not doing enough to bring change project hayes from the online political magazine spine spinning transitional government doesn't represent the libyan. the national transitional council was never actually really

part of a democratically forged libya anyway they were never on the streets really fighting for the with the libyan people against gadhafi a lot of them in fact were in other countries at the time waiting to almost be helicoptered in when it was safe enough to enter tripoli it was made up of gadhafi cronies people who were basically cherry picked by the west as being suitable people to represent the libyan people no we have a situation where the libyan people are so you have got a minute these people don't represent us we don't even really know who they are. so it's come this hour a champion all trace the wiki leaks military hearing bradley manning appears in time accused of siphoning sensitive army data and his supporters rallied behind this to go down salt. and we also head to one of the houses those volatile republics to see what's being done to ensure the younger generation are seduced into extreme. rosses the political priorities were set straight by the country's

leaders this week after several rallies against the parliamentary election results prime minister vladimir putin promised to make the presidential ballot in march more transparent and his annual live q. and a session with the public who dismissed allegations are doing the very best there is where the cameras will be installed those who. polling stations next year present their diverge the revised russia party to move with the timing to bring in fresh faces and a growing tired of the old system we also hear in the u.s. on its missile defense shield in europe which most cases poses a threat to its security since washington still won't give written assurances that it's not aimed at russia moscow radar system it's a bit west of its territory when you go into the music we must not let ourselves be intimidated or confused we must clearly understand the goals we are heading for politics is a concrete thing whatever friendly relations we have if we are not being heard we

will answer that's what i had to do it wasn't against obama but against the policy that the us has adopted if they continue to be rude we will respond if they hear our concerns we will work together. now almost two decades of talks finally came to fruition by the end of the week with russia being stepped into the ranks of the world trade organization being a member should free up business opportunities and positively impact on prices but there are those who could find the competition a bit too tough. or explain. with all my studio a case of hard talks no over it's still not clear exactly what russia's w two your membership is offering the country and with most all the details all the green men still firmly behind closed doors experience will have to try and little crystal ball gazing. their predictions begin with agriculture to enter the w t o russia had to pledge to reduce in-state support to farming we've only travelled two hundred

fifty kilometers away from moscow and what we see here is a sad picture goes through it is like this one are spread all across russia and with a struggle in agriculture industry there number is only increasing thirty percent of the countries are well and are currently not in use and the raw fear. is that cut of foreign subsidies like session will bring will only make things dramatically worse for russia's currently importing forty five percent of all food products it may soon become fifty to seventy percent local producers will be unable to compete will go down and. meanwhile those competitive enough will stay afloat and benefit alexander and his family run a small business just outside moscow for a one hundred twenty goatskin if enough milk to produce kilos of high quality cheese in taipei but back in the crystal ball the future doesn't look bright for wrong the message cupboard uses have been on the menu start the w t o obvious

critics say russia's most industry will be unable to meet the increased competition in the accession of a tract offering a gloomy prediction that once the country's in bad lines will stop factories will shut and thousands of people will be left out of work and out of la however the predictions continue to go away with foreign investments said to be ready to rocket the cable gains we believe or roughly three point three percent of russian g.d.p. in. early years after accession after more like ten years with a grosser would gain about eleven percent of g.d.p. but apart from economic achievements the country's political image should benefit not really part of the global body would have a vast 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 to

moscow. i reminded all of our breaking news here on off oil rig with sixty seven people on board have capsized off russia's far eastern coast four people are confirmed dead while over forty remain unaccounted for. fourteen people have safe rescue and rescue efforts continue through the night but with benicio high waves. operation ships are being sent to fight the charge the coal firing went down while the course it's been they didn't have enough time to the life rafts or keep you updated on any developments. and one minute you're hearing of the soldier accused of passing secret american government data to wiki leaks got on the well friday bradley manning had already spent more than a year in a detention hearing is to determine whether that the now evidence that manning on trial guilty he would spend life behind bars private manning served as an

intelligence family in iraq and is accused of leaking classified military and diplomatic data to go with a plan backfired. if there and had to be skeptical manning has already been prejudiced by top officials at all future. we think that manning is not someone who is a traitor he was. documents to foreign enemies who profit from them he is accused of giving them to the media what he gave to me were allegedly were very low level documents low security and probably should not have been divisive i darkness at all were also worried that i mean you can't get a fair trial president obama has already announced that he's guilty he is the commander in chief it's a command structure in the military cerebrally who is involved in this trial from the judge the jury under president obama's command and their careers on the land line there no choice but to say meaning is guilty if they want to keep their military career since the president or said he's guilty

a soldier who's in that situation is a 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 is it was he's guilty of is telling the truth telling the truth so the american public can see what the u.s. military and state department actually are doing this trials embarrassment to the u.s. military and the united states it shows a great deal of fear of the truth and fear of the truth is what's driving this prosecution. now we're online dot com whenever you want to catch up with what's happening in the world or beyond it. is looking at you this russian rocket launch from french guy and i carrying a badge of satellite that will keep an eye on all of us will tell you he's keeping watch. on the devoted dog he refused to abandon his dead mate in russia's far east but three hundred is the determined to destroy him author dot com reports in the

as root causes which help feed militancy of course explain. the caucasian republic of dagestan in russia is one of the most volatile areas in the country groups militants operating in this part of the caucasus are reported to have strong links with a look to draw people in when they're young and to tell rays are constantly carried out in a time to eradicate the problem although militants usually target police and government officials tourism has often go into the lives of many innocent families across the region because of that a number of organisations have sprung up fighting for victims' rights and helping is also affected their lives back together i had it turns to spend the day would speak. after losing her son three years ago has dedicated her life battling for her people's future. it's a called mr winter morning in the speed line

a sign of as always is first in the office the child from stars touring right as she enters the room it is the usual start of the day for the mothers of dagestan a human rights organization created four years ago and now known across the region to d.c. to the outskirts of the capital a single mother of four lives that her husband was killed by robbers and she was left with nothing but her children sit on the brings food clothes and talks to her talking as soon as the most important part offering reassurance to victims that they have not been forgotten your publish our organization mostly helps women it doesn't matter what situation they're in if they're in need to come to help most of these women don't know their rights or who to ask who help three years ago i was in the same position when one day her so. and failed to return home she didn't know what to do and lost a valuable time that could have been used to rescue him. if i knew then what i know

today my rights the right people i could have saved him i could have found out where he was a good have done something. said le son was accused of helping terrorists in dagestan she fears he was killed but where she still doesn't know these accusations are common in this region young and immature people often become the victims of terrorist brainwashing high unemployment also boast this quite often people that fall under the influence of those with no financial of social prospects and see going into the forest use them as and for joining terrorist as the only way out for them that's what happened with mariam and it cost her her life she had a difficult childhood was raised without a father and her mother couldn't provide for the family her mother her normal remembers how when her daughter started working at the markets she met very religious people that. it's proust i thought there was nothing bad in that but then

my little girl started to change she talked a lot about being a real muslim going to paradise i tried to talk her out of it but she never listened she only listened to her new friends. her new friends turned out to be extremists and the last year of her life she disappeared for several months the next time her mother saw her face was on t.v. in a report on the latest special forces raid against suspected terrorists these dog least skirmishes are part of a bigger conflict being played out across the north caucasus region the terrorist led by dog who is russia's most wanted militant and on the list of america's most wanted terrorists want to establish a panic occasion islamist state. in the last decade parts of dagestan have become really just theoretical ice there. region is now the heart of precious islamic terrorist problem and almost every day the authorities are engaged in shootouts

with terrorists and very often that happens even in the capital city of the region . locals say it's hardly surprising muslims are turning to radical islam as they see it as an alternative to the hard life in the region the older members of the community believe a large proportion of those who went to the fore is a simply bandits from an dissatisfied younger generation. if anyone told me thirty years ago their life in dagestan would be like what we see now i would never believe that. locals want the rule of law enforced and respected again every turn to a time before terror played such a dominant part in the lives of so many. my gentle question archie close up in the republic of dagestan. a check now on the breaking news we've been covering here on a rescue operation is underway in russia's far east where an oil rig with sixty seven people on board went down fourteen people have been plucked from the icy

waters four are confirmed dead while forty nine of still missing russia's emergency ministry is expanding its mission in the sea of a hoss by sending more ships to the disaster site the operations big how paid by poor weather conditions sky or where capsize while falling back to port and sank within just twenty minutes is the the big four holes were damaged by ice and waves and water began flowing inside the sea as a thousand meters deep in that area of course keep you informed as we get more details. and surely we look at how to scientists paid with their careers for revealing the truth about genetically modified food that's after an update of the main news for today on the week in just a few minutes we. did
