role escalation won't serve any 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 we see 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 a bill even from now until the end of this month until the end of january we might see some account of a solution with players like turkey coming in trying to bring about a solution where you know i share your take on this developing story go to our web site to tell us what you think of new sanctions on iran so far just over half say iran really pushed into a corner and see new sanctions as an act of war eighteen percent believe the u.s.

measure is simply one word and the rest while most evenly split between say no one the economy will suffer as sanctions drive point prices upwards and those who think they will only would be renewed tell us what you think. the uniting factor binding libya's former rebels has long gone since the top and we want gadhafi 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 and while thousands of the millions remain behind bars waiting for the new rule is to try them for their crime of failing to jump ship forty six on a boy 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. yes we are releasing those who didn't commit serious crimes there's been no one on their hands will be waiting for the prosecutor's decision while the new off the richest were eager to pain the release as a goodwill gesture both the detention and the parole seemed internally arbitrary some of the dictator's supporters as these people to be just work for government agencies and others happen to be domestic helpers or government workers and now equal before the law or rather before the absence of it they are mostly in prison was triple this type of detention facility under gadhafi the tories for its mistreatment and arbitrary killings of inmates but while all of its prisoners rest sat 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 there loyalists are being held

there with little chance for justice or 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 new libyan 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 they tell not to regard 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 i do hope for their death children need their fathers and what we need there have been the government isn't doing anything to find them if they're dead 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 countrymen at least thanks to the limelight he's not running a risk of being executed like his father while many still are. artsy.

where the next few minutes the foreigners make it big in russia. this is a country economy and a market that's growing at a really really rapid pace. dentists sinking their teeth into new challenges to success in speciality shopping pathfinders series charts the opportunities. we had to russia's far east for close to the wildlife habitat crumbling around them . syria has criticised the us for accusing it of not complying with the arab league observers mission sending an envoy to current talks with about the developments with serious affair. ministry says the u.s. is interfering in affairs of and of its business its pulled out heavy weapons and tanks from cities after pressure from the arab league which says security forces are still telling civilian protesters. responding to the americas actions indicate

it's gearing up which intervention. had this meeting with the arab league sanctions against syria and the key ally 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 that. sanctions to put it 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 or shop aeration in syria be comparable in that direction that is a very dangerous dangerous road 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 troops will fall so i think america is in danger of going on a slippery slope. but about twenty minutes a middle eastern politics expert 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 its report. the human rights council reports four thousand but there was no explanation of that feat where they go. a few days later. who's the u.n. human rights commissioner she stood up the few security council and said five thousand. and could 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 about security forces by the north or whatever whereas in fact i don't think it's any doubt i'm told that a large number of military of civilians have been killed by armed gangs about of it but this so what we actually need to do is to aggregate these figures.

there is a nightmare new year resolution which is giving us and it is a hangover at the start of twenty twelve greece's prime minister is threatening to quit the euro if more cuts aren't implemented they needed to secure a further bailout of one hundred thirty billion euros if it defaults the european banks billions by greece would lose out and other struggling countries would face more pressure on syria violate international cash since twenty ten talks over the second bailout of stalled a months for the creditors demanding an overhaul of greece's economy which many say is ultimately doomed. business journalist you know about things the outcome is already set in stereo for both the greek government presses. 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 realizes that we cannot go on like this and that unrest and even on

a key 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 prove 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 towards the exit of the euro zone and i think also here in europe at brussels that quarters of the european commission people start to realize that there 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 presidents to quit after he threatened a newspaper against revealing a scandal he's embroiled in and supports is shifting to a new party that has no official stance on the or its troubles as you go to school for ports 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 get out in pattaya and. the pirate part of germany that's right and this is an annual meeting of a political party and all these people are alone 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 faces of. the firefighters are different one of its key differences apart from the style in general is a software system called liquid feedback allowing 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 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 party managed to win nearly ninety percent of the vote securing fifteen seats most people who are. just something new 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 anger and merkel's federal coalition porter is the first to feel the change of sorts from voters and actually last time along with another four local votes across the country a mainstream politics is also losing attractiveness because. there's often too

little distinction or distinctiveness between different parts. of fields or areas sometimes it's in difficult to tell the difference between conservative and social democrat experts say the key success tool is the internet and see it 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 it may not be too long before they could find themselves on the margins. of. germany. where you have problems are dragging britain into an unholy rao and the government squaring up to the church getting involved in something discussion in the kaiser reporter at seven thirty g.m.t. . the archbishop of 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 the first pierpoint nor green he says oh poppycock is not. bishop i think a lot of tests changed since two thousand and eight actually and i think there has been a lot of soul searching in the financial services industry quite rightly to. look more dying down take the word of her silence out of a strange ring 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. auntie's upon find a serious puts a new twist now on the changing face of russia literally the demand for decent dentistry so more than a soviet union ended experts robert corney 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 in 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 on 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 are 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 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 carters and

the shops of shopping malls the beautiful stuff takes place at night people restock remerging 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 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'd 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 it 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.

and that will have more from the part find the series throughout the week and then also online if you missed any what else is that dot com right now the twenty. million dollar price tag for a child saudi businessman puts his own son up for sale in place could tell you why online. also police in new york raided a t.v. studio here in the parts used by occupy protesters reason increasing use dangerous conditions calls on scene reports online. would be soo much brighter if you knew about some from feinstein pression some.

nice clean stunts on t.v. dot com. this is our time to reclaim the american dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth that out of many we all want that wall we breathe the we hope. to me the american dream is to live in peace and prosperity and freedom and a government under socialism is not a government of free. i'm free. to. have very motivated out cross the country who are activists who are willing to fight for what they think is right for themselves but the fact is forty three.

well from russia close up now as we head eight thousand 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 of china is also the meeting point of two mighty rivers and siri which harbor some of the most incredible habitats for wildlife in russia but the much of the industrial moguls is putting its. own bottom 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 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. loued 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 on the impact it has on local habitats that concerns her to go. to 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 eats eight hundred thousand cubic metres of wood a year and it's expanding but they're not concerned by forestry saying they're responsible for there's less of them was another name it 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. 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 industrial or 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 possible at that in an ordinary year with our place looking losses but if there's a forest as well or it could take us ten years to catch up we're forcing a losing battle. lutie is all right he has his meals dropped but his cousins out in
