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 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 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 kind of a solution with players like turkey coming in trying to bring about a solution where you can always share your take on the developing story go to our website tell us what you think of new sanctions on iran right now saying put it into a corner and see if sanctions and i was one hundred percent believe the u.s.

measures simply won't work and area fifty think the world economy will suffer a sanctions volatile prices up and the rest of. the ordinary iranians tell us what you think i don't seem to. be uniting a factor binding libya's former rebels has long gone since the toppling of the market r.t. the infighting among their ranks is spilling onto the streets five people have been killed in tripoli as two groups of fighters resorted to duns to resolve their differences meanwhile thousands of libyans remain behind bars waiting for the new violence to try them cry and move they need to jump ship boy to reports. oh. 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 no one on their hands will be waiting for the prosecutors this is one thing you have to reach is we're eager to pain the release as a goodwill gesture both the detention and the parole seemed entirely arbitrary some of the dictators 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 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 sat 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 off a loyalist 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 new libyan government held positions of power under gadhafi those who failed to jump on the bandwagon early enough and now finding themselves tugged 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 was a quick and promptly. view and rebuilding the justice system the treatment is even more brutal outside tripoli the town of talk about a good that gadhafi forces used to launch attacks against misrata is still a ghost town many of its former residents live in refugee camps and even there are extraordinary renditions by militia

a 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 he's captured libya's most famous prison there is still doesn't have access to a lawyer and while many dialyse feel 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 tripoli. syria has criticized the u.s. for accusing it of not complying with arab league observers mission washington is

sending an envoy to caracter talks with me about the latest developments syria's foreign ministry says the u.s. is interfering in its business has pulled out every weapons and tanks from cities after pressure from the arab league says security forces us to clinics and protesters london based political analyst chris bambery was america's actions indicate it's gearing up for military intervention. at this meeting with the arab league 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 know there are also american colleges in those camps in turkey. training and i think when you combine that. all together off sanctions deployed diplomatically but also the involvement in with the free syrian army it begins to create a dynamic where perhaps the americans don't want to the moment to be involved in north the operation in syria big can pull in that direction that is

a very dangerous dangerous road as we know from the previous history of a not a 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 going on a slippery slope. a few minutes they foreign is making it big in russia. this is a country economy in a market that's growing at a really really rapid pace from dentists sinking their teeth into new challenges to success in speciality shopping our pathfinder series starts the entrepreneurial opportunities. plus we had to rush to sponsor easter play something counter with wildlife habitat is a problem. new year resolution which is giving us the it is a hangover at the start of twenty twelve greece's prime minister is threatening to quit the euro with more cuts on to implement it and needed to secure

a further beta of one hundred thirty billion euros if it defaults the european banks billions by greece would lose out on the struggling countries with pressure greece has been relying on international cash injection since twenty ten talks of the second bailout of stalled in months and creditors demanding an overhaul of greece's economy which they say is ultimately doomed belgian business journalist. thinks the outcome is already set in stone for the greek government and brussels. the greek government is realizing that there is likely no option left the greek economy is slowing 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 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 it's the international community that pushes us to work the exit of the euro zone and i think also here in europe brussels that court is 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 many states are still working towards tighter fiscal rules but the european economist tells us next hour why it will slow down decision making just when it needs an energy boost is what's ahead. it is forgiven an idea that i think that the yen to a backfire because if you make central power too much then what we will see is a lack of dynamics the local flexibility. machine already because dick's ever to get these decisions and ever to go through all these different parliaments even

longer than to implement it i mean that we talked about the long lags. and so it just makes the politics too complex. you would think that we here ups debt crisis swirling around its biggest bankroll of germany and it might be dominating the country's political landscape instead people there are rounding on the president to quit after he threatened a newspaper against revealing a home loan 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 it is going to reports now 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 and. 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 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 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 parliament when the port party managed to win nearly ninety percent of the vote securing fifteen seats most people who i talked to they say 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 the pirate 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 merkel's federal coalition porter is the first to feel the change of heart from voters that actually lost that berlin along with another four local votes 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 pointed towards 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 minami too long before they could find themselves on the margins you're just going to have or germany. when you have financial problems are dragging britain into an unholy round with the government squaring up the church for getting involved it's a discussion the kaiser reports at eleven 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 a first pierpoint nor green he says oh poppycock this 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 just.

look down take the water curse i'll just use frank frank and face reality ok your entire cities being burned down by terrorist bankers and out there in the club and with cameras rubbing uglies when you should be doing something productive. oh jeez pathfinders serious puts a new twist now on the changing face of russia and literally the demand for decent dentistry so order in the soviet union ended expert robert courtney was among those ready to fill the gap. i. just 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 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 london on the high street typically you have a smaller office that's owned and managed by the doctor one to five dentists boarding 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 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 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 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. for from the pathfinder series throughout the weekend there are also online if you missed day here's what else is on dot com right now a twenty million dollars price tag with no sound this has been consistent sucking up to sales facebook so why life. plus police in new york

the coastal region on the border with china is also the meeting point of two mighty rivers the armor and the searing which harbor some of the most incredible habitats for wildlife in russia but the mark of the industrial moguls is putting its future on the line as artie's tom barton discovered. the feeding time pollutes the 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 the 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 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 loggers less of them is 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 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 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 industrial supply which will 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 but also word that in an ordinary year we can replace logging losses but if there's a forest fire as well or it could take us ten years to catch up we're fighting a losing battle. flutie is all right he has his meals brought to put his cousins out in the wild could soon run out of places to go to boston. but a reminder of our top stories is only a couple of minutes away thanks with things. white
