about russia's membership in the world trade organization has finally been approved up to eighteen years of talks in the region that brings both benefits and tough competition. hello and welcome to our cheese weekly review thanks for joining us first more ships on the airplane are joining this search to find forty nine people who remain missing after an oil rig capsized off russia's far east coast four have been confirmed dead while fourteen have so far been saved his jacob greaves is in the city of cross near the disaster scene would be latest. so far four bodies have been pulled out the water fourteen survivors found still forty nine missing an airplane patrolling the area as well looking again for people for

survivors for a total of sixty seven who were on board this all rig before it capsized and sunk or you know those fourteen survivors that four were sent to hospital actually bought a hospital here in sakhalin for further treatment for now being deemed fit to go and in a stable condition the other ten well they had only minor injuries really and therefore were dealt with on the ships which plucked them out of the water that's the actual survivors have been found guilty to being a rarity good and stable condition for a number of reasons already being given one of them that owing to the weather conditions the strong winds the highways well from the windows caved in on this all rhythm and lead water to flood the rig and it collapsed from the weight capsized and sunk it sunk in a quite quick time according to many estimates around twenty minutes and that means

that they wouldn't have chance to deploy lifeboats and they have seen two other life boats in the vicinity yes they would nobody on board so this is again another fear for rescue workers that no one had time to actually get in the lifeboats and don the life jackets available now president medvedev has ordered a full and thorough investigation to find out what exactly happened so it's been a criminal case opened into proceedings here one and another possible reasoning being given here and a further consideration when it comes this criminal case is why exactly was this all rigged being towed in such stormy conditions is being towed to port and that's already come under some criticism. protests in western kazakhstan have been how demanding a period of official mourning for fifteen demonstrators shot dead in clashes with police then rest started excuse me with this trying to avoid work is on friday

leading to more rallies across the country as a whole thought he said i've called for calm from the demonstrators this canopus in the central asian country for us. on a sunday afternoon he's managed to stop an attempt to storm the local courthouse in janelle's in animals or attacks various attacks on police while it's there started on friday it was a protest rally against downbeat salaries combined with celebrations of twenty years of standing independence and the entire thing just spiraled out of control it's not clear. what exactly triggered it but at some point the angry crowd began setting buildings on fire including state facilities clashing with police and authorities say that forty six buildings have been burned to the ground and as a result police had to use force including live rounds authorities say that they have the situation in under control deployed

a state of emergency for the next three weeks there in accordance with the guys are kind of the constitution since then has been in force around sixty people have been detained and also three are 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 a way station including a passenger train with over three hundred people on board of thirty state at 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 village 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 in. around. twelve people were hospitalized with gunshot wounds one of them died down a lot. more than four hundred protesters have gathered for a protest rally but fortunately it was all to be going peacefully but of course we'll be monitoring the situation. this is to come this hour a champion or traitor at the weekly ex-military hearing bradley manning appears in court for the first time accused of siphoning sensitive army data but his supporters rallied behind a single bound soldier. and staying in the american court he ran and it's supreme leader i've just been josh to have given support for al-qaeda is another one of time the details just ahead. at

least ten people have been killed and hundreds injured in fresh violence in egypt since friday and the protesters want to foster transparent power from the military to civilian authorities even though elections are under way but true middle east expert terry collett says the army is provoking anger to blame demonstrators for violence. but it's an old tradition in their country to deny it all we are all watching it the whole of egypt is watching it there was one young woman in particular whose blood cells have been dragged off you could see her. being dragged by police when there are other images coming out of egypt of soldiers urine eighteen 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 that 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 egyptian ruling elite is a sign that things are in a very serious. serious situation developing in egypt and the soon the sooner bio is transferred 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 on its ranges 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 can pretty 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 arab league officials say they expect that damascus 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 by wednesday threatening other way to turn to the un for this kind as russia has put forward a draft resolution and see where to the u.n. it demands that all parties only to please stop the violence and begin dialogue that rules out for an international sanctions political analyst chris bambery says citizens strongly oppose foreign intervention but the western countries are pushing for it to reinforce their position and every. i think there must be worries that there are increasing call for foreign intervention in syria not least in the syrian national council or body which is based in the country and outside the country i have to say that many of those forces demonstrating in the assad regime did not share your demands for foreign intervention or indeed for nor

strikes or what is happening in syria no is that what as a popular revolution our forces are moving in to try and take that all for and use it for its all 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 ties with iraq it was severed ties to hamas and hezbollah or 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 should be joyous the years of people in paris. in washington. 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 large 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 we should be opposed to those forces are opposing it and then did they have said they were against the violent overthrow of the assad regime they want to see it toppled by peaceful means and i think to be applauded in that situation they don't want syria to go down the road of civil war . buying separate pairing for a much needed cash flow as the u.n. has left its economic restrictions while it helps the new leaders grapple with the regime change they've brought face many problems since the toppling and killing of colonel gadhafi clashes between tribal groups erupt at south of the live encounters held this week to start and local officials agreed on a cease fire and your government also came under pressure in been guys a problem thousands of demonstrators protesting against the lack of transparency in the interim leadership and patrick hayes from the online political magazines critics believe the transitional government doesn't represent the lead in. 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 of a country that 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 of really know who they are. 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 the world trade organization being a membership free business opportunities and positively impact on prices but as artie's marie if an ocean explains the warm welcome can set a price. with almost two decades of hard talks now over it's still not clear

exactly what russia's w.t.r. membership is offering the country and with most all the details of the greens to firmly behind closed doors experts are left 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 in-state 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 us road all across russia and with a struggle in agriculture industry their number is only crazing thirty percent of the countries are well and are currently not in use and the raw fear is that the cost of farming subsidies like session will remain with only make things dramatically worse for it which is currently importing forty five percent of all food products and may soon become fifty to seventy percent local producers will be unable to compete with. meanwhile those competitive enough will stay afloat and

benefit alexander and his family run a small business just outside moscow there one hundred twenty goats skiff enough milk to produce kilos of high quality cheese and i would 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 critics say russia's making history will be i'm able to meet the crazy competition exception of attract 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 glow 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 the early years after accession. more like ten years we think russia would gain 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 the best 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. griffin otieno t. mosco. and we're all online at home whenever you want to catch up with what's happening in the world or be. going to get you this russian except in the interim french they are not caring about your sex life partner keeping our eyes i'll tell you this giving. food for thought a reason a website about the tentative agreement under which north korea's defense plan that controversial during which kind of program in exchange for us today.

the military hearing of this soldier accused of passing secret american government data to weaken legs got underway on friday bradley manning had already spent more than a year and a half in detention the hearing is to determine whether there's enough evidence to put manning on trial if found guilty he would spend life behind bars private manning served other intelligence analysts in iraq and is accused of leaking classified military and diplomatic days after that with last night after pleas from the bradley manning support network of this soldier i will not never see the trial after president obama has stated that he is guilty. we think that manning is not someone who is 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 to me were allegedly were very low level documents low security internet i probably should not have been divisive i darkens at all were also worried that i mean i 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's involved in this trial from the judge the jury under president obama's command and their careers on the land line there is no choice but to say meaning 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 in the nuremberg principles and becoming complicit in these crimes. exposing those crimes is me is guilty of what he's accused what is it was he's guilty of is telling the truth telling the truth so the america where we can see what the u.s. military and state department actually are doing this trial is 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. an american court has ruled that iran supported the nine eleven plotters and hijacked the new suit in new york was filed by some of the victims' families and was settled by default because that is it including iran's supreme

leader went to court during an american activist up the things the case is part of a larger smear campaign to prepare point eventually. i don't see any evidence that is particularly compelling the 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 broad in solidarity with the americans who lost their lives. cooperating with the united states in helping topple the taliban who. is an 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. or just communist party held peaceful protests on sunday against the results of the parliamentary elections around three thousand people gathered in central moscow with a similar number of the protests in st pete is that the elections saw the united russia party gain the majority of seats in the d.v.r. however the opposition claims the voting was raked and demanded a new one prime minister vladimir putin said all cases of violations all different investigations and current should be installed at polling stations to minimize.

actions. on these but. the election commission to install web cameras and every polling station in the country. these can. we should be on a round the clock so that everyone can see what's happening in every station any allegations of fraud. pakistan is reportedly going to drink and posing attacks on u.s. and nato supplies going to afghanistan through its territory the river shut down last month after a cross border cross border nato air strike killed twenty four pakistani soldiers relations between washington and islamabad has a new low after the incident and author and journalist website tarpley it says the u.s. is only interested in destabilizing the situation further. we want to go back to how did this start is about ten years ago there was an ultimatum delivered in the wake of nine eleven by colin powell and richard armitage to the pakistani government and they said if you don't give us transit rights across pakistan we

will bomb you back into the stone age so this is not an alliance this is not friendship this is the united states having gone in there and the goal of the u.s. presence had very little to do with terrorism but rather had to do with promoting the break up of pakistan if you just look at the map pakistan is wedged in there between iran on the one side india and china in some ways it's the hub of the world and the goal of the u.s. has always been to take a civil war in afghanistan exported into pakistan the question is what where where is all this going the pakistanis are becoming more militant which is perfectly understandable right we have a we have a manic here in washington i guess you can call it a psychosis of destabilization it's like the the year of the dupes may be ending and they've got to export destabilisation to as many countries as they can interesting is that the pakistanis say that they have

a surface to air missile system along the border with afghanistan so that if the u.s. tries to come over with helicopters and essentially take possession of the pakistani nuclear deterrent the pakistanis now say that they would be able to fight back against that. a look now from around news from around the world now. polices of one hundred and fifty palestinians in the final stage of a prisoner swap with hamas for a kidnapped israeli soldier at the egyptian brokered do you agreed the release of over a thousand palestinians in return for israeli sergeant good luck shalit was captured in gaza in two thousand and three meanwhile tel aviv has announced plans to build more than one thousand 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 that line. about rescue operation is now underway in the southern philippines after floods through the area killing of the six hundred and leaving hundreds missing
