side whatsoever we've seen the economic situation in europe there will be i somewhat i believe very soon between the french leader and the german chancellor angela merkel to discuss the economic situation and so it's in nobody's interest to continue with this and i have to head back to the negotiating table the european union has agreed in principle i repeat in principle for not for an embargo on iranian oil now will that happen in effect will they take this measure in practice just will we'll see a meeting on january the thirtieth for the european union regarding this matter i doubt that that will happen on a bill even from now until the end of this month until the end of january we might see some kind of a solution with players like turkey coming in trying to bring about a solution where you can always your take on this developing story go to our website tell us what you think of new sanctions on iran but so far just over half of you saying iran will be pushed into paula zahn recently as two more than two

percent of the u.s. measures simply won't work and the rest are almost evenly split between saying the world economy will suffer sanctions on this part think they will only really tell us what you think will happen. be uniting a fact finding libya's former rebels has long gone since the talking of the market don't think infighting among their ranks is spilling on to the streets five people have been killed in tripoli as two groups of fighters resorted to guns to resolve their differences meanwhile thousands of libyans remain behind bars waiting for the new rules to try them for their crime of failing to jump ship looks on a boat to reports. it was one of the first amnesty of the new libya hundreds of men and women many of them sub-saharan immigrants released from a makeshift prison most of them spent several months in captivity for the crime of

being in the wrong place at the wrong time. we're releasing those who didn't commit serious crimes there's been a lot on their hands will be waiting for the prosecutor's decision when you are the richest were eager to pain the release as a goodwill gesture the determination and the parole seemed entirely arbitrary some of the dictators supporters as these people to be just work for government agencies and others happened to be domestic helpers or government workers and now equal before the law or rather before the absence of it they obviously in prison was triple his top detention facility under gadhafi now tori's for its mistreatment and arbitrary killings of inmates but while all of its prisoners rest south free in late august as the rebels are on the capital dozens possibly even hundreds of makeshift prisons sprang out around the country according to u.n. estimates up to seven thousand allowed to get out the loyalists that being held

there a little chance for justice a fair trial just a year ago this place used to be a school today demain last i'm being told here is that during the transition to democracy quick reactions are a must while many in the newly bin government held positions of power under gadhafi those who failed to jump on the bandwagon early enough and now finding themselves tog behind bars. now in libya there are about a thousand people in detention and the problem is they haven't had any legal review they haven't had access to a lawyer they haven't been brought before any independent judicial panel or judges so that's what we're calling for now is a quick and. legal review and rebuilding the justice system the treatment is even more brutal outside tripoli the tell not talk about a good the gadhafi forces used to launch attacks against misrata is still a ghost town many of its former residents live in refugee camps and even their

extraordinary renditions by militia are common this man says he was tortured for several days before finally being released. until you confess to things you haven't committed like entering homes or looting it's a grueling dilemma many of these mothers and wives have to confront to pray for their loved ones to be rotting in a prison with torture being officially acknowledged and you hope for their death children need their fathers and women need their husbands the government isn't doing anything to find them if they're dead that we want to know where they are more than a month since his capture libya's most famous prisoners still doesn't have access to a lawyer and while many dolls say full islam's ability to have a fair trial he still appears to be better off than many of his country man at least thanks to the limelight he's not running a risk of being executed like his father while many still are kind of artsy tripoli . now that next few minutes the foreigners making it big in russia. this

is a country economy and a market that's growing at a really really rapid pace from dentists sinking their teeth into challenges to success in speciality shopping part five series. opportunities. we had to russia's far east for a close up encounter with a wildlife habitat is coming around but. syria has criticized the u.s. for accusing it of not complying with the arab league observers mission washington is sending an envoy to cairo for talks with about the latest developments with syria's foreign ministry says the u.s. . interfering in affairs that it's business it's pulled out heavy weapons and tanks from cities after pressure from the arab league which says security forces are still killing civilian protesters london based political analyst chris bambery blames america's actions indicate it's gearing up for military intervention. in the

arab league they are convinced sanctions against syria and the key are in the sense of prize turkey has been involved in arming the free syrian free syrian army and training them and we nor there are also american advisors in those camps in turkey training and i think when you combine that that together sanctions deployed diplomatically but also the involvement with the free syrian army it begins to create a dynamic where perhaps the americans don't want woman to be involved in a lot of operation in syria because pull in that direction that is a very dangerous dangerous route as we know from previous history of the conflict going on in vietnam once you send advisors and trainers into a country is very often the case that the troops will fall so i think america is in danger of a slippery slope when next middle east politics expert dr jeremy salt explains why he thinks there is tunnel vision when it comes to deciding just who is doing the killing in syria here's what's ahead. in the report. the

human rights council reports four thousand but there was no explanation of that figure where they go. a few days later. who's the u.n. human rights commissioner she stood up the security council and said five thousand . well and if you get echoes around the world and i think it lodges in the popular imagination it's five thousand people being killed by the syrian government security forces by the neutral whatever whereas in fact i don't think it's any doubt at all a large number of military of civilians have been killed by armed gangs about it but this so what we actually need to do is to aggregate these figures. there's a night in the new year resolution which is giving us a it is

a hangover at the start of twenty twelve greece's prime minister is threatening to quit the euro more cuts on to implement it needed to secure a bailout of one hundred thirty billion euros if it defaults the european banks and billions by greece would lose out the other struggling countries with very small pressure greece has been relying on international cash injection since twenty ten talks over the second bailout of schools for months creditors demanding an overhaul greece's economy which many sayings ultimately doomed belgian business journalists . thinks the outcome is already set in stone for both the greek government and. the greek government is realizing that there is likely no option left the greek economy is growing down like a storm and i think we are now at the point where everybody in greece realizes that we cannot go on like this and that unrest even under the the country is becoming so

much of a threat that some rescue kingston needs to be done and my reading of the greek government is doing is that they are trying to prove that they are looking for an alibi to offer to their public by which they can say well it's not our fault if the international community that pushes us to work the exit of the euro and i think also here in europe. brussels that quarters of the european commission people start to realize that really is no other way to solve the greek problem by than by an exit from the euro zone well you'd think that with europe's debt crisis swirling around its biggest bankroller germany but it might be dominating the country's political landscape instead the people there are rounding on the president to quit after he threatened a newspaper against revealing home the scandal he's embroiled in and supporters shifting to a new party that has no official stance on the e.u. or its troubles as a pope is going to reports from berlin. it looks like an ordinary scene at one of

the many bars in berlin except there is one thing which makes this party totally different from all the others the parties they must be talking about. the pirate party germany that's right and this is an annual meeting of a political party and all these people or i'm only it's eighteen thousand members across germany. was tired of the mainstream and i was really disappointed in. all this the same way. the faces. and the park but it was really different one of its key differences apart from the style in general is a software system called liquid feedback allowing ordinary germans the opportunity to propose policies online the pirate stand for more transparency and freedom on the internet but when it comes to core issues like the economy and we don't have currently a stand on this crisis maybe we'll have the next federal convention

but this wasn't a problem at the previous election for the berlin state problem a time when the poor party managed to win nearly ninety percent of the vote securing fifteen seats most people who act they say. just something something fresh to me like because many germans believe that politics are cross to this time as the big players struggle with big economic and political issues but part party doesn't even have an official stance on the eurozone crisis or the arab spring nevertheless it continues gathering more supporters i mean a coincidence or an alarming signal stream politicians the free democrats party which is an go in miracles federal coalition porter is the first to feel the change of heart from voters and actually lost. along with another four local volts across the country mainstream politics is also losing attractiveness because. there's

often too little distinction or distinct difference between different parties from different fields or areas sometimes you too difficult to tell the difference between conservative and social democrat experts see the part parties success to use the internet as the new driving force changing politics similar to the way it was influenced by t.v. over half a century ago so unless the mainstream parties adapt and change their tactics. before they could find themselves on the margins. or germany. but europe's financial problems are dragging britain into an unholy round the government squaring up to the church for getting involved it's up discussion in the kaiser reports at seven thirty am g.m.t. . the archbishop canterbury blasted for comparing rioters and bankers as politicians urged him to focus on religion here is how david cameron's government chose to hit back who did they appoint to speak lord green

a first pierpoint nor green he says oh poppycock this is not. bishop i think a lot has changed since two thousand and eight actually and i think there has been a lot of soul searching in the financial services industry. right to. look down take the water curse out that is frank frank and face reality ok your entire cities being burned down by terrorist bankers you know they're in the club with cameron rubbing uglies when you should be doing something productive. pathfinders serious puts a new twist now on the changing face of russia i mean literally the demand for a decent dentistry song when i say that you know and it ex-pat courtney was among

those ready to fill the gap. i'm not sure that there is anything that can quite prepare you for doing business in russia in the early ninety's which is when i first came it was a very very wild time in the business sense a wild time in the lifestyle sense and it required a great deal of energy and creativity to bring and create a western type of business here in russia the idea was actually a no brainer executing the idea was very very difficult there was a great deal of demand for dentistry i decided to stay and start the first american dental clinic in russia if we take us dental care and the dentistry business for example you're looking at one difference i'm not a doctor but the principal owner of the business this business has thirteen

practitioners all specialties from hygiene to the general dentistry to implants orthodontics that's very rare to find in a place in the us or in london in the high street typically you have a smaller office that's owned and managed by the doctor one to five dentists hording staff and specialist sort generally organized separately doctors refer patients to each other here our place is not so unique for russia you tend to have specialists and generalists collected in one clinic under one roof starting a business here today is both easier and more difficult that what than it was in the past licensure in compliance with the rules was technically very difficult because things were less organized and enforcement was loose in those days it was possible to let's say not comply with everything and still get along today the rules or more modern or strict but at least if you follow the rules you know what to expect certainly there are

a lot of myths about the risks of doing business in russia the risks to the business itself let's say the survival of the business itself or no bigger here than there. elsewhere this is a country economy and a market that's growing at a really really rapid pace. will come just addicted to starting new businesses that are interesting it was a radical change from being a lawyer to dentistry it's just the nature of my story what you see here tonight is the world of specialty retail these specialty retailers everything that goes on in the corridors of shopping malls not in the in line shops and it's all about creating impulse to purchase which means creating beautiful designs that make interesting and simple products something that people want to stop and buy and enjoy until retail profile brought this business to russia four years ago this type of retail didn't exist right there no shoppers here it's past midnight here in moscow and the reason we're here is that everything people see in the corridors and

the shops of shopping malls the beautiful stuff takes place at night people restock reverchon diets redesigns and that's what this team is doing now the most difficult thing about setting it up doesn't compare with the story i told you about dentistry because we did it four years ago life and business here was already mature and civilized so the difficult thing was having to grow the business as quickly as the demand for it is if you compared the business life of somebody like me in san francisco in atlanta or boston you'd find people say that tomorrow is going to be similar to today if you ask me are people like me doing business in russia you say you have a hope that tomorrow is going to be similar to today but down deep you know something's going to be new something's going to change on the one hand the drives you crazy because as humans we crave predictability but on the other hand we're all addicted to the fact that something new is happening all the time.

kilometers from moscow to the far east but an area which is far from secure for its wildlife. yes the coastal region on the border with china is also the meeting point of two mighty rivers and searing harvest some of the most incredible habitats for wildlife in russia but the much dust chill mogul's is putting its wind as artie's tom barton discovered. feeding time pollute see the tiger he was found starving in the forest as a six month old cub he's now nineteen years old has a pair of platinum false teeth and as a siberian tiger he's one of an increasingly scarce breed in this region's forests a home to some of the world's rarest big cats but they also host loggers timber

mills and illegal hunters who stand to make a great profit here and whose activities have pushed those same leopards and tigers to the brink of extinction. load miller looks after the tigers there's deer in fact just about any injured forest animals that arrive at her center as well as poachers it's forestry the impact it has on local habitats that concerns. tigers need a lot of territory to survive there can be a lot together when there's forestry the animals they prey on are scared off and so the tigers have to leave killing it off so what it really comes down to is russia's endless forests being assaulted by the power of industry this new timber factory in the far east it's eight hundred thousand cubic metres of wood a year and it's expanding but they're not concerned by forestry saying they're responsible walkers listed there was another name that is trees are

a new bill resource unlike coal oil we plant trees to replace the ones we cut down so they'll be plenty for the next generation that environmentalists paint a very different picture. they say there aren't even reliable records of the rampant tree cutting and warn that russia's forests aren't as endless as the timber barons think. it is when we tell officials that the so little untouched forests remain. industrialists get very out of the way they say environmental organizations are trying to shut down their industry or i will there are others trying to replace lost forest this local government project harvests and salts pine seeds grows them into saplings and then plants them but they admit that the planting just isn't keeping pace with the felling but also bored that in an ordinary year with our place looking losses if there's a forest fire as well it could take us ten years to catch up with a losing battle. lutie is all right he has his meals brought to what his cousins
