comes after deadly clashes in the town earlier this week during which government fighters were forced out the unrest mirrors are growing frustration in libya with many people fed up with end to see incompetence and violent power struggles between former rebels patrick hayes a reporter for the online magazine spike says he's not surprised by these latest events. the national transitional council itself was very much something that was already chosen by the west not something that was chosen by the libyan people it was very much kind of put in place and then there were kind of helicopters even when gadhafi was gotten rid of so the thing i find very striking here actually is that the n t c isn't doing itself any favors in terms of pro-democracy campaign is also seeing off the. supporters as well warnings for a long time that this could happen in bani walid people were saying very least two moments we may get of the uprising here and the m.t.c. did nothing about it so it's not surprising and it does seem like the m.t.c. is impotence and this is reflecting the needs and desires of anyone in libya at the

moment. well libya however isn't the only nation simmering in post-revolutionary on rast in egypt it's very clear square as hundreds of thousands of people rally against the absolute power of the ruling military to and its reluctance to step down we have more on that for you next hour here on r.t. . now considered innocent in his home country but a wanted man in the u.s. if handed over to this states a friend found guilty of online copyright infringement the u.k. student could face ten years in an american president all because of a controversial extradition treaty between the two countries supposedly created to help fight terrorism as artie's ira bennett reports this student is not the only victim of the divisive legislation. from running a website in his bedroom with links to pirated movies to up to ten years in a u.s.

federal prison richard o'dwyer is the latest victim of the u.k.'s controversial extradition treaty with america his actions aren't even a crime in britain counters copyright infringement in the u.s. for the judge that was enough for richard's mother it was devastating. very. much stay. with you richard citv shank was seized by u.s. authorities last year this is what you see on the home page now he didn't post any illegal videos itself but posted links to where users could find them u.s. prosecutors claim richard banked two hundred thirty thousand dollars in advertising revenue from the site although he's never been to america they claim his actions had a direct consequence is that he treated unfairly so. yeah because he was just pro extradition well i've heard all that but i'm just going to go with the other side

anyway so. all that work that we. i know all there he with there when he's not sure if you were there last time time before when he said with a good strong argument that all went out the window completely. you know giving up no no we can't give up. the u.k. u.s. extradition treaty was signed in two thousand and three supposedly to bring international terrorists to justice but many feel it's unfair to british citizens it makes it far easier for america to extradite someone from the u.k. than the other way around so far extraditions of five to two in america's favor better and british m.p. simming campbell's leading a review of the treaty by his party the smaller partner in the governing coalition but what i argue for is that the position of a british citizen should be no worse than that of an american to and at the moment you think it's impounds i'm in no doubt that it's out of balance richard driers and

innocently caught up in something which was never intended to deal with people like him gary mckinnon is case is another that's left british m.p.'s crying out for change the asperger's sufferer has been fighting extradition to seven years he's wanted for hacking into pentagon files that he claims he was searching for evidence of u.f.o.'s a recent parliamentary debate on the treaty was so one sided in favor of changing it that a vote wasn't even needed but what's happening in there is still not enough to stop richard o'dwyer as pending extradition his case is certainly highlighted the need for something to be done but any changes could be too late for him his case is now in the hands of home secretary theresa may who has been accused of abandoning plans to change the treaty richard and his family will get the chance to appeal the decision at a higher court but their options are rapidly running out either bennett r.t.

london. now a story of a man also living in britain and wanted in the u.s. for his online activities wiki leaks founder and notorious whistleblower julian a son is about to take center stage once again well the man who made government's trouble now gets ready to question even more on his new exclusive talk show premiering right here on our t.v. this march will share his unique view on what the world of tomorrow will look like keep political players visionaries in power insiders will be among the guests of the wiki leaks founder stay with r.t. to find out exactly who will be joining him in march. but it seems all is fair when it comes to pre-election fever political wrangling

and russia has spread into the internet taking a viral dimension that's movable activists try cutting edge tactics to win the hearts and minds of the people or to get there to get a job or has been looking at what's going on on the on line battlefield. but why does it want is that you were right is that laws are going to look at the very suits and ties and slogans called out from the poor d m r the traditional election season fair but they're no longer considered politically in vogue. today's compay ning has gone online in a hot new trend in russia. with programs and bloggers making fun of the opposition portraying them in prayer outside the u.s. embassy on sundays claiming they are connected to the us state department and the opposition filming funny cartoons about politicians made out of lego. getting information out there is becoming easier all the time but the internet is

a very different medium to television while on t.v. it's enough to just look into the camera like this to attract viewers attention not so although that to may he were police video reach millions of lines it's not enough to just have a message it also has to be provoked to brazen and sometimes project a whole different image. it's no surprise then that putin as a character from harry porter became an overnight hit. doing this you will. see what i see you stuck with something yes that go to the caribbean they're going to go you'll make. sure that the word is work when you're put in the new. propaganda but it will just be them. but i don't compete it's up to you about you apart from catching images memorable catch phrases are used against those in the

corridors of power opposition blogger alex enough while me was the first upload his shot which is tongues online a year ago he labeled the ruling united russia party the. and scoundrels lose the insulting phrase and first and hear it on the net but quickly migrated to almost every magical media in russia and beyond a year after the party won in the parliamentary elections and reworked the catchphrase felicity's of one vote for the party of fees and scoundrels for ten years of economic growth but the party of these in scoundrels united russia. the mastermind behind that video and state duma deputy robert proved his party can also fight its words online broke out super powers the use of being able to my aim was to provoke to pin reality darker than that is often i don't agree with such statements in my videos but they do work but i see because putin and russia without

putin would rise why not give away your country your beautiful girlfriend to some foreign guys what will happen to the caucasus nothing less just give it away to. spawning a war technically the videos made a very professional you can see that a highly paid specialist did it all and it appeals to primitive responses but works one hundred percent first thought is that there is indeed no future without putting but videos from the opposition are just as. an added whole a trend of this election season eavesdropping on politicians and posting recordings online or those taking part in a massive opposition rally in december were surprised to find out that one of their inspirations maurice himself described them in a phone as the other person. here from each other of government property or. your property comfort or. it's naive to expect largeness from any side when we are

living in election year there are no holds barred in this war not even interfering in someone's private life but. a lack of privacy for today's politicians is already a modern day reality and with fifteen. million russians going online today about forty percent of the adult population she's the future is predicted to be filled with online political of atari's pushing the boundaries of a virtual world without borders it's in the direction of our party. well andrew will bring you the latest sport in about fifteen minutes here on our team including the ups and downs of russia that late but before that i'll be back with a wrap up of the headlines after this short break stay with us. in

a touch like a well trained army. religion is in ruins. for thailand where time stands still.

all becomes a scene of nothing. the mysterious sons of russia. are. live from moscow or we have the latest stories and the week's. top stories this sunday for you here's a look at what we're covering the arab league is long on ice the syrian fact finding mission is frozen after violence escalates triggering pressure from the e.u. and tough talks at the u.n. security council. and revolutionary aftershocks deadly clashes and troops build up in libya while in egypt hundreds of thousands stage fresh protests against their ruling military. for us police take the gloves off approach against occupy

protesters in oakland firing tear gas and flash grenades arresting hundred in the process. but also saw online anger spilling onto the streets as internet users in poland fought against a new international anti-piracy agreement seen as censorship and human rights abuse . plus the iranian parliament is said to vote on an immediate cut off of oil supplies to the e.u. in a preemptive strike against the blocs crude embargo on teh wrong do in the summer something many fear will backfire on europe's frail economy well coming up next start she caught up with the head of russia's high tech state corporation nano on a two to bias at the economic forum in davos to discuss the prospects of the country's business and political future.

to choose wisely what's one action should russia's new government take to stop business leaders stealing money and taking it out of the country the basic reasons for the capital of war. has no connection or is the marker economic fundamentals because they're quite positive so we fear for inflation rate last year a belief less than. definitely was the seven percent there is no file they don't. believe that the next to solve until you're it will be on low or. going to mcgraw's four percent or three point something. so it's not micro konami that's more fundamental i would say institutional reasons which lead to eat the basics is the rule of law corruption independent judicial system that's the main priority and where to my understanding question government the next session presidential because trade on the fortunately and more on the one way to fight corruption in the

name of this way democracy. some of the sure far more into corruption than just lation it's it's about nothing. in democracy or the real competition in political life it was the real independent political party this was the real axis two of the must media including t.v. for the opposition that's the main demand of the new russian opposition which was born on the man soccer square and that's the only way to fight corruption what role do you want to play in russian politics moving forward zero. that's my dream my dream do not take part in any kind of political process or police on the public level. when mulches presidential elections get serious. public opinion polls and social forecasts and that's why i can only share some feelings norwich with you so my feeling is that just as for today

putin is the strongest candidate switches of the second. he doesn't need to put in rural mississippi to do in the cost structure thought he would and will not remain in the first trump book if extremely complicated political situation where on the second welfare situation which is a grammar. and that is something which is not complete political minds by the russian society and i cannot forecast what will be the main. reaction. to your position below and that people. there will death tend to push for so ground up the answer is not determined violence spilling into the streets if there's no clear election window no i'm signal to the nearest i spoke about the second round result in case if it will happen in case there will be

put an end zyuganov what europe's in a position what for this kind of dilemma it's unclear when we unfortunately russia has a problem but i think it's budget should it cut spending or raise taxes. unfortunately i believe that. the russian budget you first begin to vote to sell them twelve but was because the police simply yours for the first attempt was not balance here and that already made several decision which does balance russian budget. i can see even more i believe that. some of decision which will be denounced on high level could not be implemented in russia. and that's why i believe there are three structure. you know there are some budget absolutely in there. which was this dilemma that you mention cut spending quarter increase taxes i believe that we are

over cost in terms of all the. budget expenditures i believe that we need to hear strong caught on the budget expenditures and the scale of this. budget for steps is that big that you can no one can do it without stronger force we need pension reforms we need health care reforms we need. additional step and transform and russian educational system and those steps the institutional way which may help us to cut budgetary spending but i know that now in the russian the pension fund is not balanced it's subsidized by the russian budget and subsidize fantastic amount of money and subsidization increasing your by your so that's why to my understanding. pension reform inevitable and i'm not trying to speak in details about the details but i can tell there will that idea. there if we're

in the will that idea accumulate under former and in the last. six seven years the more we will delay these painful steps the more radical and more painful pension reform will be do you oppose the big roys in russia's military spending no i'm not against the moment just going again to believe that the minister spending make help if they arrange in a proper way they may help to bolster of the in the way show in the in the media dream district as well it was done in the united states and silicon willy nilly would not be what it is without the military orders from the pentagon and i would not reject this kind of ideas but it's not a question yes or no that's a question of the extent. the extent to which was so of it in now. i couldn't say it's good but it's just i'm realistic there's no way to spend that much money on

this structure with though it does above and same question of course that's the problem holding brosnan those investing in foreign as well as russian startups what's the current propulsion that's proportional shows that reflect our understanding between the developing russian all based projects and transfer technology more to transfer and we believe the at the russia it's a base but of the same time there are fantastic an interesting project outside the flash and transfer would make sense was this basic understanding of proportion which looks like so into five percent of the total that's the russian base project twenty five percent that transfer of technology from all sides of russia to russia so into five going to play in five for yours i would hundred predict it but in ten years eve the strategy for there are some of the zation will be successful it may change and increase the russian proportion of what progress have you made here in double since then in the first shares in this year we will sell ten percent shares

of course not at the private placement that's very very sensitive point for us none in our way from the state corporation into the business like a corporation in this table do was consulted so from my middle of the chin we could be and that's why i made here was the middle of the president and we could be in the we are discussing this steps and just saw bill and the strategy how to increase the private shareholders participation it's not public placement that's private placement the first stage it's private placement which will happen this year for this ten percent what sorts of private investors do you want to attract for your placement this year that's exactly the topic we're discussing tomorrow in the i believe that on the first stage which will be about ten percent of the major way should be on the institutional investors. and i think that we need to we need to see if it is a bore we'll put they should. investors in. the
