from russia and around the world this is as he was meeting there thanks for joining us first to more ships and their plane joining the search to find fortune on people who remain missing after an oil rig capsized off russia's far east coast so have been confirmed dead while fourteen have been so far saved. and has been following the tragedy for the moment couldn't disher in the rescue sites two hundred kilometers of russia's far east coast of very difficult indeed there's been four bodies found in the water but such were the the horror of the gale force winds. on the highways that those bodies couldn't be recovered two helicopters that help plucked fourteen people to safety earlier were forced to turn away. ours was an

aircraft because of the horrendous weather conditions the rig was being towed back to port when the storm brewed up around it and the pumps in the rig that usually just just chuck out the bit of water that sloshes in so into the rig totally normal procedure those pumps were totally overwhelmed by the amount of water that was coming in the rig sank in just twenty minutes and that meant that all the people on board had no real time to organize a proper evacuation. 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 or the boots were washed away with the flow of the water some of those that have been rescued are now in a nearby hospital they will be given medical treatment and the also big question to find out just what happened and why this rig sank so fast investigators do say also that it seems safety protocol may well have been broken and that's official

language what it really means is that the rig should never have been towed in these weather conditions in the first place it was very dangerous to do so president medvedev has said that all help must be extended to those people that have been rescued and to those that may still be rescued and also that a full investigation must be launched to find out what's has gone on and what caused this for the moment though it's a race against time to try and find those people that may still be alive before it's too late. protests in western kazakhstan have been how demanding a period of official mourning for fifteen demonstrators shot at and clashes with police then rest started with a strike of oil workers on friday needing to more runs across the country catherine have cultural come from the demonstrators is going off in the central asian country . on a sunday afterwards managed to stop an attempt to storm the. local courthouse.

and also attacks various attacks on police while it's there started on friday it was a proto surround the against on beat salaries combined with celebrations of twenty years of independence and the entire thing just spiraled out of control it's not clear. what exactly triggered it but at some point the angry ground began setting buildings on fire including state facilities clashing with police and. see that forty six buildings had been burned to the ground and as a result police had to use force including live rounds of thirty say that they have the situation in under control deployed a state of emergency for the next three weeks there in accordance with because our constitution since then has been in force around sixty people have been detained and also three a russian journalists have been detained as well and they are

reported to have been released also in the west of kazakhstan a group of protesters blocked our way away station including a passenger train with over three hundred people on board of thirty say that seven passenger trains and three freight trains and i would delete as a result and at around eight pm local time six pm moscow time police came in to disperse the crowd instead authorities say that a group of around fifty hooligans as we call them showed fierce resistance they said a locomotive on fire threw molotov cocktails balls at the train and at the police they moved into. a nearby do it should setting things on fire there as well breaking shop windows car windows and so on and say that at some point their actions became a threat to the lives of both the locals and of the police so they had to use force there as well including live rounds so also and twelve people were hospitalized with gunshot wounds. one. worked also. more than

four hundred protesters gathered for a protest rally but fortunately it was all to be going. really well of course we'll be monitoring the situation. this is our see and still to come this hour for you at champaign or traitor at the week's military hearing bradley manning appears in court for the first time accused of siphoning sensitive army data but his supporters rallied behind that singled out soldier. staying in the american court iran and it supreme leader have been judged to have given support for al qaeda is nine eleven attack the details are just ahead. at least ten people have been killed and hundreds injured in fresh violence in egypt since friday protesters want a faster transfer of power from the military to civilian authority even though elections are underway veteran middle east expert terry gali says the army is

provoking anger to blame the demonstrators for violence. it's an old tradition in their country to deny it all we're all watching it the whole of egypt is watching it there was one young woman in particular who have been dragged off you could see her. being dragged by police when there are other images coming out of egypt of soldiers you're relating from the rooftop of the parliament building on to demonstrators below and this really takes one back to the colonial period in history and the history of the region when they were occupied by the british empire that is what they were told to do and the fact that the military is now turning on its own people. under the your wonders obviously of we and the gyptian ruling elite is a sign that things are in a very serious. serious situation developing in egypt and those whom

the sooner by our as strong as for to a civilian government an elected government the better whatever that government may be and these just gusting things that are being done to demonstrators in derry square and all it's rangers by our own to create a great deal of anger people are now asking in egypt so what's changed i think the army is deliberately provoking this anger in order to create the impression that the violence is coming not from them they're being defensive and that he really has to be run by the military indefinitely and if that is their image it's not going to work at least fifteen civilians and six government troops have been reportedly killed in syria higher big officials say they expect but don't ask us will sign up to a proposal to send in an observer mission within twenty four hours the body representing arab states has given syria and ultimatum to decide by wednesday threatening

otherwise to turn to the u.n. this comes as russia has put forward a draft resolution. see reticuli it demands that all parties immediately stop the violence and begin dial that rules out for intervention and sanction this planet's chris banbury says citizens strongly oppose foreign intervention that western countries are pushing for a tearing force their position and every day. i think there must be worries the increasing call for foreign intervention in syria not least in the syrian national council or body which is beast both in the country and outside the country i have to say that many of those forces demonstrating in the assad regime did not shear demand for foreign intervention or indeed for nor strikes on what is happening in syria no is that what as a popular revolution other forces are moving in to try and take that all for and use it for its own ends in the syrian national council this body of the sea which is both in the country and save the country is no seeing and if it would several

tries iraq it was severed ties to hamas and hezbollah it would treat russia as a special relationship i don't think that sounds very very good by the way and it would strengthen ties with qatar saudi arabia the other gulf states and with america and france now it would seem to me an agenda to be joyous the years of people in paris. in washington and in soda and saudi arabia and i think there is a developing difference here between for the people who have been organizing the peaceful demonstrations the uprising if you like inside syria on the grown to many forces the people in the grown by and watch are opposing as i understand it foreign intervention people have been organizing the demonstrations have not come up with a demand for western intervention this is coming i think that extraneous to the movement and i think it's something which should be a pause and indeed those forces are opposing it and indeed they have said they are against the violent overthrow of the assad regime they want to see it toppled by peaceful means and i think has to be applauded in that situation they don't want syria to go down the road of civil war. almost two decades of talks finally came to

fruition by the end of the week with russia being accepted into the ranks of the global trade club a world trade organization being a membership free of business opportunities and positively impact on prices but as aussies or if an ocean explains the warm welcome comes at a price with almost two decades of hard talks now over it still not clear exactly what russia's w two your membership is offering the country and with most all the details of the greens to firmly behind closed doors x. produce enough to try a little crystal ball gazing with. their predictions begin with agriculture to enter the w t o russia had to pledge to reduce instate support to farming we've already traveled two hundred and 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 their number is only increasing thirty percent

of the countries are will land are currently not in use and the raw fear is that the cost of farming subsidies like session will bring will only make things dramatically worse for russia's currently importing forty five percent of all food products in the sunni countries to seventy percent of producers will be unable to compete with all their growth. meanwhile those competitive enough will stay afloat and benefit alexander and his family run a small business just outside moscow the one hundred twenty goats 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 wrong that mr kopper uses have been among the most used the n t w t o obvious critics say russia's making history will be at maple to meet the increased competition the exceptional attract offering a gloomy prediction that once the country's in bad lines will stop factories will

shut and thousands of people. out of work and out of luck however the predictions continue to glow with foreign investments said to be ready to rock the cumulative gains we believe or roughly three point three percent of russian g.d.p. in. early years after exertion. more like ten years with a grocer would be about eleven percent of g.d.p. but apart from economic achievements the country's political image should benefit not being part of the global body would have 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. where is an option r t mosco. and we are online at home whenever you want to catch up with what's happening in the world all beyond it. is

looking at you this russian rocket successfully launched from french guiana caring about each of satellites they'll keep an eye on those will tell you this keeping a watch. on food for thought to read on our website about the tentative agreement under which north korea is to suspend its controversial uranium enrichment program in exchange for us today. the military hearing of the soldier accused of passing secret american government data to weaken leaks got underway and friday bradley manning had already spent more than a year and a half in a detention hearing is to determine whether there is enough evidence to put money on trial if found guilty he would spend life behind bars private manning served as an intelligence analyst in iraq and is accused of leaking classified military and diplomatic data to the whistle blowing web site and kevin zeese from the bradley manning support network says a soldier will hardly receive a fair trial after president obama has stated that he is guilty. we think that

manning is not someone who's a traitor he was didn't sell 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 in fact probably should not have been declassified documents at all were also worried that i mean it can't get a fair trial president obama has already announced that he's guilty he's the commander in chief it's the command structure in the military sorry buddy who's involved in this trial from the judge the jury under president obama's command and their careers on the land line they have no choice but to say manning is guilty if they want to keep their military career since the president already 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 he get what he's guilty of is telling the truth laying the truth out 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 he states it shows a great deal of fear of the truth and fear the truth is what's driving this prosecution. an american court has ruled that iran supported the nine eleven hijackers the lawsuit in new york has filed by some of the victims' families and was set up by default because that seized in pleasing iran's supreme leader at one time called reagan american acts of its general things the case is part of a larger smear campaign to put petrol intervention. i don't see any evidence that is particularly compelling. iran had a direct role in nine eleven i know that we have seen. in washington there's been a campaign in new york to link iran very publicly to nine eleven on the anniversary of those attacks earlier this year there was a billboard campaign in times square with what is god's face and something along the lines of you know the silent partner of al qaeda. there's clearly

a campaign right now to try to ratchet up the pressure for yet another u.s. attack on a middle eastern country and i just think this is so dangerous if you go back to when those attacks happened immediately afterward iran condemned the attacks there were there were candlelight vigils on the streets of tough broad in solidarity with the americans who lost their lives. on cooperating with the united states in helping topple the taliban who. is the enemy of iran as was osama bin laden what we're seeing now is this strange self-fulfilling prophecy process and i'm worried that this is exactly what we saw with iraq this is this is a campaign to go to war. russia's communist party held peaceful protests and sunday gave the results of the parliamentary elections and around three thousand people gathered in central square with a similar number at

a protest in st petersburg the election so they're proving united russia party again the majority of seats however the opposition claims the voting was rigged. and demanded a new one prime minister vladimir putin said all cases of violations will be of sorry investigated and cameras should be installed at polling stations to minimize fraud at he trip actually it's. a nuance can you look commissioned to install cameras at every polling station in the country and there are over ninety three thousand of these cameras should be on around the clock so that everyone can see what's happening in every station little rule of any allegations of fraud. and let's now go back to our top story rescue teams are continuing to search for forty nine people missing after an oil rig capsized off russia's far east coast almost twenty four hours ago and let's now cross live to our man jacob greaves who's just every ride at the city of youzhny near the disaster scene hello there jacob so how

is the rescue operation looking this morning. well he's finally managed to kick off in full earnest once again as water hole somewhere with nightfall that meant that no airplanes their helicopters could take part in the search and rescue operation is left down to just three ships and therefore no other survivors were found so dealing with quite similar situation at present that we had yesterday was before bodies found so far fourteen survivors plucked from the sea still sistan szell amount missing forty nine in tows now the sixty seven who were originally on board is daylight here down though in sakhalin and just two hundred kilometers off the coast of sakhalin where it's thought this already capsized and sunk so it can once again begin in earnest yes or do you know the bad the fate of those who've been found or we know there's fourteen survivors clark from the sea and they've been taken to hospitals low cost was here in sakhalin for further treatment we know that

for in a good and stable condition as for the others who are not getting too much information about their man present. what different reasons are being suggested as to the cause of the disaster at this stage was be a number of reasons put forward so far firstly we heard that a lot of water was taken on by the best saw going to some of the windows cracking from the high waves heavy winds and the temperatures as well so that led to the vest taking on water they think potentially capsizing there are a number of other theories being performed as well the fact that these were very stormy conditions and it's already raised a question there has been criminal proceedings open into this question being raised as to whether or not it should be mean towed into port as it's being towed into port by an icebreaker at the time of its capsizing the same story where the

conditions made it should have been towed in the first place obviously quite early . those should be coming up with conclusive reasoning. because a lot of evidence as to what went wrong sure are she's very good greaves reporting there live from the region jacob many thanks indeed and we'll talk to you later. and let's look at some other news from around the world this hour israel has completed the release of five hundred fifty palestinians in the final stage of a prisoner swap with hamas for a kidnapped israeli soldier and the egyptian brokered deal agreed the release of over a thousand palestinians in return for israeli sergeant good luck should leave who was captured in gaza in two thousand and three men while tel aviv has announced plans to build more than one hundred settlements in the occupied west bank but palestinians have made a return to peace talks conditional on a freeze on any new israeli homes being built on their land. mouth rescue operation is now underway in the southern philippines after floods told through the

regions. the battle to stop the young falling prey to terrorists. so dark star often makes headlines for the wrong reasons with frequent reports of insurgency and instability high unemployment and low they started it's all sometimes blamed as root causes which helped feed militancy as off he said in a courtroom explained it's a called mr winter morning in the speed line a sign of as always is first in the office the telephone starts serene 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 today's headline is heading 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 will 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 or gravel should not be rolled our organization mostly helps women it doesn't matter what situation they're in is there a need to come to help the most of these women don't know their rights or who to ask who held three years ago said lana was in the same position when one day her son 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. to tell our son was accused of helping terrorists in dagestan she fears he was killed but where she still does 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 an 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 honeymoon remembers how when her daughter started working at the market she met very religious people that. at first i thought there was nothing bad in that but then my little girl started to change she talked a lot about being a real new swim or going to paradise i tried to talk her out of it but she never listened shown listened to her new friends who 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 doubly skirmishes are part of a bigger conflict being played out across the north caucasus region the tarus lead by dog who is russia's most wanted militant and on the list of america's most wanted terrorists want to establish a pan caucasian islamist state. in the last decade parts of dagestan has become really just theoretical ice this 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 forest a simply bandits from an dissatisfied younger generation. if anyone told me

thirty years ago that life in dagestan. and would be like what we see now i would never believe that. the 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 minds in the question r.c. close up in the republic of dagestan. and author of i thought the recap our top stories in just a few moments stay with us. soon
