serve any side whatsoever we've seen the. economic situation in europe they'll be 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 june will see a meeting on january the thirtieth for the european union regarding this matter i doubt that that will happen on i believe 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 you know as your take on this developing story go to our web site tell us what you think of new sanctions on iran but so far just over half of the say

iran will be pushed into paula zahn roussel has to 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 in think they do it all means tell us what you think will happen. be uniting a factor binding libya's former rebels has long gone since the top in the market does 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 forty six 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 are releasing those who didn't commit serious crimes there's been a lot on their hands will be waiting for the prosecutor's decision but one thing you are the richest were eager to pain the release as a goodwill gesture both 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 rather before the absence of it they obviously in prison was triple his top detention facility under gadhafi the tories for its mistreatment and arbitrary killings of inmates but while all of its prisoners rest south free in late august as the rebels over in 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 bill how they're 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 when many in the new libyan government held positions of power under gadhafi those who failed to jump on the bandwagon early enough and now finding themselves tug 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 turn now to where 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. to you 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 know for their deaths 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. artsy tripoli.

now that a 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 charts you know 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 the about the latest developments with syria's foreign ministry says the u.s. . is interfering in affairs that the business is 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

believes america's actions indicate it's gearing up for military intervention. in the arab league the 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 we nor there are also american advisors in those camps in turkey training and i think when you combine. 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 north york region in syria because pull in that direction that is a very dangerous dangerous route as we know from previous history of conflict going on in vietnam once you send advisors and trainers into a country it's very often the case that the troops will fall so i think america is in danger of a slippery sot. when next middle east politics expert dr germy salt explains why he

thinks there is tunnel vision but 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 the figure 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 that a large number of military of civilians have been killed by armed gangs about it so what we actually need to do is to aggregate these figures.

there's a nightmare new year resolution which is giving us a and 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 and needed to secure a further 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 objects since twenty ten talks over the second bailout for months creditors demanding an overhaul greece's economy which many say is ultimately doomed belgian business journalists. thinks the outcome is already set in stone cuban government. the greek government is realizing that there is likely no option left the greek economy is going down like a stone 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 in the country is becoming so much

of a threat that some drastic things need to be done and my reading of what the greek government is doing is that they are trying to do that they are looking for an alibi to offer to their public by would make it fair 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 around him on the president's to quit after he threatened a newspaper against revealing home the scandal he's embroiled in and support is shifting to a new party that has no official stance on the e.u.

or its troubles as a pope is going to purports from berlin. it looks like an ordinary scene at one of the many bars in berlin except there's one thing which makes this party totally different from all the others the parties they must get out of. the pirate part of 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 like me treat was tired of the mainstream and i was really disappointed in. all this the same way. the firefighter was in a 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 this crisis maybe you will have after the. next federal convention but this wasn't a problem of the previous election for the berlin state problem a time when the port authority managed to win nearly nine percent of the vote securing fifteen seats most people who are. 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 one 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 and go in merkel's federal coalition porter is the first to feel the change of heart from voters that actually lost that berlin wall to along with another four local volts across the country mainstream politics is also losing

attractiveness because. there's often too little distinction or distinctiveness between different parties from different fields or areas sometimes it's even difficult to tell the difference between conservative and social democrat experts see the part parties key success to use the internet as the new driving force changing politics similar to the way it was influenced by t.v. and were half a century ago so unless the mainstream parties adapt and change their tactics minami too long before they could find themselves on the margins you're just going to have. germany. but you have an actual 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 the need to just . look down take the word of her silence out of a strange thing and face reality ok your entire state is being burnt down by terrorist bankers and out there in the club and with cameras rubbing uglies when you should be doing something productive. parties far in the series puts a new twist now on the changing face of russia i mean literally the demand for

decent dentistry soared when the soviet union ended the ex-pat robert courtney was among those ready to fill the gap. i'm not sure. 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 orthodontic such very rare to find in a place in the us or london in the high street typically you have a smaller office that's owned and managed by the doctor one to five dentists boarding staff and specialists are 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 more 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 they are elsewhere this is a cunt. 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 remerging diets redesign feet 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 compare 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's 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.

responsible obvious that 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 the 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. when we tell officials at the so little untouched forests remain vulnerable industrialists get very out of the way they say environmental organizations are trying to shut down their industrious a powerful there are others trying to replace lost forest this local government project harvests and sorts pine seeds. grows them into saplings and then plants them but they admit that the planting just isn't keeping pace with the felling. in an ordinary year with replace looking losses but if there's a forest as well it could take us ten years to catch up with
