increasing economic problems for the west in general escalation and you saw it whatsoever we've seen the 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 has an interest to continue with this and they 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 soil now will that happen in effect will they take this measure in practice june will will see a meeting on general or the thirtieth for the european union regarding this matter i doubt that that will happen on i believe in the 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 we can always share your take on this developing story go to our website and tell us what you think of new sanctions on iran just now and this is what the

numbers are looking at looking like just over half say iran will be pushed into a corner and senior sanctions as an act of war one thousand percent believe the u.s. measures simply won't work nearly as france think the world economy will suffer as the sanctions drive oil prices up like we're seeing and the arrests fear they will only hurt ordinary iranians tell us what you think vote at our t.v. dot com. well the uniting factor binding libya's former rebels has long gone since the toppling of moammar gadhafi now infighting among their ranks is spilling onto 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 rulers to try them for their crime of felling to jump ship artie's oksana boyko reports. it was one of the first amnesty of the new libya hundreds of men and with. men 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 those with blood 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 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 are mostly in prison was triple this type of detention facility under gadhafi notorious for its mistreatment and arbitrary killings of animals 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 and loyalists are being held there with little chance for justice or fair trial just a year ago the 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 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 promptly legal review and rebuilding the justice system the treatment is even more brutal outside tripoli the tell not to brag. 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 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 but you know 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 we want to know where they are more than a month since his capture libya's most famous prisoner still doesn't have access to a lawyer and while many dollars 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 kind of artsy tripoli . well syria has criticized the u.s. for accusing it of not complying with the arab league observer mission washington is sending an envoy to cairo for talks with the league about the latest developments syria's foreign minister says the u.s. is interfering in affairs that are none of its business and pulled our tanks from streets and is now we're going to stop or five hundred prisoners under the arab league and his plan london based political analyst chris bambery believes america's actions indicate it's gearing up for military intervention. if it's me to 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 and we know there are also american advisors in those camps in turkey training and i think when you combine that. all together sanctions the diplomatic moves but also the involvement. in with the free syrian army it begins to create

a dynamic where perhaps the americans don't want that woman to be involved in military operation in syria become poor not direction that is a very dangerous dangerous road as we know from the previous history of the a 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 going on a slippery slope. well the next few minutes just 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 new challenges through to success and specialty shopping our pathfinder series charts the entrepreneurial opportunities available here. plus we had to rush as far east for a close up encounter with wildlife needs habitat is crumbling around. but

first there's a nightmare new year resolution which is giving euro zone leaders a hangover at the start of twenty twelve greece's prime minister is threatening to quit the euro if more cuts aren't implemented well they're needed to secure a further battle out of one hundred thirty billion euros if it defaults the european banks owed billions by greece would lose out and other struggling countries would face more pressure greece has been drawing on international cash injection since twenty ten talks over the second bailout have stalled for months with creditors demanding it over faults of cruises economy which many say is ultimately doomed belgian business journalists. think the outcome is already set in stone for both the greek government and brussels. the greek government is realizing that there is actually 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. 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 which they could if they will it's not our fault if the international community that pushes the toward the exit of the euro zone 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 many states are still working together towards tighter fiscal rules but a european economist tells us later this hour why it will slow down decision making just when it needs an energy boost here's what's ahead. it is sort of a. i think that will backfire because if you make central. power too much then. the look of dynamics

flexibility. machine already because ever to get these decisions than ever to go through all these different parliaments and it takes even longer then to implement it i mean that we talk about the long lax. and so it just makes the politics to complex. well you'd think that with europe's debt crisis swirling around its biggest bankroller germany that it might be dominating the country's political landscape but instead people there are around on the president to quit after he threatened a newspaper against revealing a home loan scandal he's embroiled in and supporters sifting to a new party that has no official stance on the e.u. or its troubles as you corpuscle of now 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 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 are alone it's eighteen thousand members across germany like dmitry was tired of the mainstream and i was really disappointed in. all this the same way. the faces. and the fire 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 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 say i 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 for me stream politicians the free democrats party which is an go and local federal coalition porter is the first to feel the change of heart from voters and actually lost. 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 parties. or areas sometimes

it's even difficult to tell the difference between conservatives and experts say the part party's 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. a little half a century ago so unless the mainstream parties change their tactics it may not be too long before they could find themselves on the margins. of r g in germany. but europe's financial problems are dragging britain into an unholy raúl with the government squaring up to the church for getting involved it's up for discussion in the kaiser report 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 first

pierpoint you are green he says oh poppycock is not the 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 too jolly good looking or doing down take the one across silence out of the 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. artie's pathfinder series puts a new twist now on the challenging face of changing face i should say of russia quite literally the demand for decent dentistry soared when the soviet union ended robert courtney was among those ready to fill that gap.

just. 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 were 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 general dentistry to implants

orthodontics that's 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 hording 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 are 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 in a market that's growing at a really really rapid pace. 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 leasing 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 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 and 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.

well more from the pathfinder series throughout the week for you in there also online if you missed any here's what else is on line for you dot com right now. a twenty million dollar price tag for a child a saudi businessman puts his own son up for sale on facebook we tell you why online . plus police in new york rated t.v. studio but only in part use why occupy protesters the reason the increasingly used dangerous conditions cost r t reports at r.t. dot com. this is our time to reclaim the american dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth that out of many we are one that while 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 a free. man. 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 in fact this border. then. we are drowning in property drowning and i think it's spread out why it's cutting off our. it's making real democracy. all but impossible.

oh. here with r t why from moscow a look now at some news from around the world and a spate of deadly explosions have hit shiite areas in the iraqi capital the interior ministry says at least twenty four people have been killed dozens of others wounded the first blast involved

a motorcycle bomb the twin office laborers gathered looking for work it was followed by a roadside explosion shortly afterwards a couple of hours later two further blasts hit a northern neighborhood sectarian violence has increased since u.s. troops pulled out last month. and overcrowded boss has plummeted off a snow covered bridge in southern china killing at least eighteen people dozens more were injured when the boss fell ten meters into the valley below and comes during the busiest new year travel period when public transport is at its busiest road safety is a major problem in china with many deaths on its poorly maintained roads. three separate fires in australia and new zealand have broken out forcing dozens from their homes and living. travel and eastern perth firefighters spent hours containing a blaze which also affected air travel to the city a brush fire also spread through an island off the coast of queensland which is

popular with tourists and had to be evacuated in new zealand residents fought back another fire with their garden hose. well more from russia close up now as we had eight thousand kilometers from moscow to the far east but an area which is far from secure for its wildlife. because the region on the border with china is also the meeting point of two mighty rivers they are more and they use henri which harbored some of the most incredible habitats for wildlife in russia but the march of the industrial moguls is putting its future on the line as arts news tom barton discovered. that 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 and 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 at that 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 loggers listed there 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 bucko can wish there was go up north but when we tell officials at the so little untouched forest remain a day early industrialists get very out of the way they say environmental organizations are trying to shut down their industry or 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 board in an ordinary

year we can replace looking losses but if there's a forest fire as well it could take us ten years to catch up we're forcing a losing battle. all right he has his meals blinked but his cousins out in the wild could soon run out of places to go to a box i'm. going to take a short break here on our to and i'll be back with the headlines in just a moment. no

it's not about spilling blood. it's the war of the barricades from one side and fears blockade from the other. invisible border has cut people from the land for twelve years. the conflict that divided serbia into two hostile parts is still not over.
