in the business but a dead end about sense of time. around the world and around the clock this is. iran facing a further isolation of the world's biggest electronic banking system swift prepares to cut off dozens of financial firms blacklisted by the e.u. it's part of a broader effort by european nations who also plan to impose an embargo on iranian oil this summer to pressure iran over its nuclear program. sara firth reports the measures are likely to be back. spain is among the biggest importers the radiant oil and all that sayings when the sanctions come into force in july spain have until then final courses of crude supply. and all around facing

a real risk to the country that intel route has been fueled by iranian oil. prices are on the rise and there are fears that they're about to be pumped even higher with the iranian oil embargo eliminating the e.u. entries than comes as the west's been making ways if you are runs nuclear program it's getting around the oil revenues will bring the country to the bargaining table even assuming that the case against iran has a strong sanctions right now and exercised by countries like spain or greece or italy that much those countries more than it will damage iran was countries like france and britain and who thingy a very small percentage of iranian oil and supported the band is the country struggling the west economically right now spain greece and italy but again to feel the effect of the sanctions the most things we can treat as a russian view when it became. foreign minister actually said that

if you check the sick person if you seek even if you assume you couldn't. be happy to make a decision once you get in a healthy economic situation a rise in oil prices might be problematic becoming at a time when spain is on the brink of a second recession and it's proving a nightmare for the population. it's terrible that we should pay for decisions taken in brussels is not known to conform and certainly not from simple residence. certainly should trigger a rise in prices we should point of the example of the us to tighten our belt and keep the issue of nuclear weapons a punch to revive our economy. of course i'm afraid because they're already too high if they go anywhere and won't be able to afford gas. attempts to come fears

about a rise in prices have been made saudi arabia says it's got enough oil to make up for the loss of around supplies when the in bug comes into force to countries like spain will still be paying the price of lost trade with iran and the cost of replacing those oil contracts ironically spain's imports of oil from iran have increased since he backed libyan war now the prospect of his thirty's with iran is causing huge concern. while there's no war prices collation stupid sanctions can be corrected the problems will come if there is a war with. now countries like spain elected the messy of a volatile situation and no one wants to see ignites so r.t. spain. well despite western measures iranian oil is still finding its way to eager buyers such as india right next to nine u.s. sanctions and strike being one of washington's most important. so far to dot com

for more on what white house might do push to tighten the screws on table. the un's that most powerful group is to get an update on the syrian crisis from envoy kofi annan to fermat's hope his joins us on the peace mission breathe new life into stall security council talks aimed at ending the year long but it's the last weekend. proposals to both the syrian authorities and the opposition believes there is still a door for dialogue. to fighting on both sides humanitarian access for civilians and for talks to begin syrian government plans a positive response of political analyst. says american it's a nice plan supported to one side of the conflict could hamper any peaceful solution. they are special forces on but rather from nato countries and. this is all sources incidentally

it's not hearsay it is actual fact british special forces have met up with members of the free syrian army and they are training members of the free syrian army from a base in turkey british m i six operatives but it's said to have reportedly been training the rebels. now what is that that means. the west the didn't realize staveley nato. hold inside syria. and they are complicit. in arm which is not an opposition which is fighting government forces. well he had a few this hour including unveiling the enemy nearly two years after using a legend bradley manning of aiding an unnamed government prosecutors a final say who it is is

a case against the subject. and later we take to dust off a precious business the way the rules don't you know close ups. still deep in egypt if thousands are gathering in cairo over the football stadium stampede in which killed seventy four people last month thousands of people have now been charged with murder and negligence including a former security chief and eight police officers as a really good reports it's just compounding the despondency and program for lucian that was meant to prove lives. their evolution happened just around the corner these streets are really close to here and have always been in financial interests above the city but over the past year with the protests predicted breaking out these shopkeepers have seen their lives lost and their livelihoods broken repairs and cleanup in the wake of protesters clashes with police brought in many businesses to hold meaning they're already small income was hit. after the

revolution there's been less work because of all these events we shut down early and go home because there's no business we have to stay closed for several days immediately following the uprising on january twenty fifth last year at the security situation in the egyptian capital remains on easy in fact many residents say right now it's even worse than it was at the height of the uprising last year there are one out of every people you meet in the street under the age of twenty five because of work and this is a. problem the angry unemployed youth often choose to sweep in after the protesters losing in stealing from damage shops the book everything we have here other businesses in the neighborhood were also looted all houses on the street or near to your square were broken into or robbed everyone suffered in an attempt to keep the protests under control the government installed cement walls blocking off

the area around the tucker square it may have made things easier for the police but it's only made matters worse for locals. the barricades they built on the streets they've really affected us as well as the huge protests we haven't worked for seven days since and afterwards had to clean up a lot. yet most egyptians believe the main problem is not the mess which follows the protests but the absence of jobs which turns many desperate people into looters it was the country's flailing economy which forced thousands out on to higher square. in the first place the first slogan that was here in tahrir square was the word broke because it was. it was actually people were killing each other in the law and. it was hoped their allusion would turn all of that around bringing more jobs to people and food on their tables but as things stand more than

a year after the uprising even those who did have a livelihood are now struggling to stay afloat in a. cairo. well news on the run he wants to r.t. dot com as one people it's another crackdown on occupy protesters headquarters in miami and security forces storm. and children with the flick. for touch and full of life. and dashed the story of the center of customers and restaurants trying to take cocktails when they step on the fifty fifth floor and that's what's going to come. more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to operation today.

the u.s. led strategy in afghanistan is taking a beating from both sides coming from the afghan government and. it's a missed militant group has suspended peace talks in washington describing america's position in the conflict as erratic and very afghan president also grounded on the nato campaign calling on forces to leave rural areas after last week's massacre of sixteen civilians one american soldier instance has intensified calls for the exit of nato troops that have it cause i don't think its forces to take control of security by next year nato plans to withdraw by twenty four team today cross talk is from experts who take on america's military strategy. and when

we talk strategy strategies military this country doesn't succeed when it uses its military if somebody fights back except for world war two when you go through all of the other wars we don't have the staying power we're not going to get that staying power but ultimately we're going to leave if not this year then next to the year after and everybody knows that. it's near christianity. pale or. i was just you know there is already looking at. history if you look at all the places where the u.s. military has intervened it's been a story of remarkable stability in all these places that resemble switzerland necessary but iraq is a nascent democracy it's violent we exit it too quickly kuwait is free persian gulf oil flows are very interesting here you can see that. if you look at the instances where we've located gretchen you want to jump in you want to disagree. i just want

to say that you're wrong i'm saying when people fight back we don't do well. attorney for u.s. soldier bradley manning who is accused of leaking hundreds of thousands of pages of classified information has asked richard judge to dismiss the charges he argues the government mishandle certain documents in the case also military authorities are finally said enemy manning is charged with assisting is al qaeda if convicted soldier could face life in prison a spokesman for the group supporting manning says the surrender of the really been subjected to move from punishment. they can make these claims and go on with this fear mongering as they have been as much as they want but they're entirely baseless and we know that they're baseless because we know for a fact that the government conducted a number of internal impact assessments that found that the wiki leaks materials do

not pose any threat to our national security that our troops were never put in harm's way it reminds me of growing up in school going to civics class you know you learn these basic concepts that you know trial tends to proceed punishments you know these are basic foundational concepts of you know western law and justice and that's been completely thrown out the window in this case and that's a clear violation of his eighth amendment rights that's a clear violation of articles one in sixteen of the un convention against torture that's a treaty that has been ratified by congress in accordance with the constitution and these really aren't optional standards these are basic rules of the road that the administration needs to play by and if they're not able to do that then they're not qualified to govern. when i look now at what else is making news around the world this hour so volunteers and brother tubes of the victims from tuesday's bus crash

return to brussels family members spent thursday identifying their loved ones will make it a total killing twenty eight people. one of the survivors reports and see that you have a choice to change and just before the crash which police in an investment. hungary's prime minister has attacked the european union want to dress in a crowd of at least in the past used brussels of communism it's respect and its potential sovereignty and fear its domestic affairs the e.u. is concerned with the changes to hungary and which is more risky brussels is really taking measures against hungry for its excessive budget deficit. well time now to explore what of russia's biggest cities and what it has to offer in case up.

yes unless the mineral rich your own mountains or katherine has always been known across the country for its precious stones but a big industry had metal on that side then and this time a pattern or reports that took a shine off the jewels from its beginnings as an outpost of the fledgling russian empire terran bird has grown up as a city which exploited the mineral wealth of the ural mountains it's gone on developing on that line throughout its history and it's those themes the exploitation of the region's rich mineral wealth which i've been examining in my report the fairy tale of the mistress of copper mountain it tells of the mysteries of the legendary greenstone malik can't he didn't rushes you around mountains but now a kite it's not some room this looks like a pile of rather dull mountain rocks but step over here and when we have water we

can see something of these rocks natural beauty these are the stones of feel the legends and fairy tales of the urals and they also think the still hands of local craftsman these men are cutting and polishing precious stones and cheap among the treasures the most famous greenstone of them all emerald if you will it should be large one hundred percent translucent with a main properties being color quality and weight it also depends how often the precious stone is found in nature. most of them will find their way into jewelry and display pieces but as anonymous as these stones seem with the urals the vast majority don't even come from russia when you know you know one person locally developed precious stones here it's very sad and i even feel a sort of pain because they do their business is the older understands it's not

with the urals the short of these gems quite the opposite in fact precious stones were so easy to find while the cottage industry grew up here around them that nobody bothered to invest much in surveying what deposits exist let alone extracting them and once metals were discovered such as beryllium which is used in military applications little was thought of destroying the emeralds in which it's normally found. there are still thought to be enormous deposits of animals and other precious stones within the euro's and no matter where they come from the region still has craftsman that spend their working lives creating masterpieces from them who knows maybe one day if the mistress of copper mountain allows it these marvels and stone could be made from a part of the country they represent. we're going to discuss a little bit more about yet return bird's past and its development as the capital

of the urals is maxime how macof he is vice rector here at the ural federal university. if we start off back in the past and the discovery of the huge mineral wealth that there is around here perhaps you could talk us through the developments of the city from its early origins right well the the history of mining here and here the logie here goes down to wade seventeen early eighteenth century and we can track it up to remove the spam really well to me that was one of the. most to reach people here in russia not only in the in the region and they built a lot of factories here you know not only in the uk it's a number of bars and very just then in thirty s. during the soviet rule you know the beginning or soviets are all in the considered

world they created a lot of heavy engineering factories so this was the it started as industrialization. ok so that's a very good introduction so we take that up too if we'll call it this the region's moments of crisis really after the fall of the soviet union in the ninety's and the region i think it's probably fair to say found itself a bit lost. well of course when you have so many you know factories and then you know the whole economy collapsed you know the city was into crisis i mean that was a whole region was in crisis actually so it's actually even wards of the not true way of having a patient the criminal case or this time for the moment i think that your raisins and status. business is you know working quite well but. a great thank you to not

seen hanako from the university here you can turn. a city that's never been afraid to push business opportunities it's that future looking at the development. in the decades to come. and well tomorrow we are wrapping up our journey to catherine back with more from the royals to come in around ten minutes when our intrepid adventure sets out to explore another major hub city. i.

was right. let's get a business update on the markets from katie now and it's we'll get hungry shocker stealing the show isn't it that is exactly right about the rule going crazy carrie they really are for the i have been sleeping on the streets with their sleeping bags the i phone three has been lost in ten countries today so far exciting indeed it's the third generation of i pad found it's got a better screen apparently and a camera although it's not marketed as a revolutionary product launch in ten countries as i say we've seen it kick off in sydney this morning all across asia. and the falls is also did apple

shares for an all time high for investors are happy also says that the world's most valuable company had jumped bull to five percent this year that is the read of all but be exciting to see how the day actually so i know i will let you know let's have a agency how they're just as i say we shopping for their i pads already as we can see the u.k. is really flats and the hang seng is about a quarter of down so not doing much good at all the nikkei actually. yesterday hit an eight month high so it's dropped from that and that's largely because the weakness is not so any more it's strengthened slightly where the exporters have outs and that's not doing the nikkei any good till hundreds down or one percent it really could be us close from yesterday we can see how it's very much a domino effect because they had

a strong finish up in the early hours of more sky. extended it's a winning streak for us seven session as you can see there nearly half a percent up in posted territory it was financials and industrials that did take as we know the payrolls they were positive and hold cell phone calls as well they posted. strong results as well as out going to the gold because it's all connected because gold is that it's nice to have a choice and that's a largely because the federal reserve board to have no problems and therefore that has a direct effect on the gold prices if we move on it will take a look at the russian mafia because they're going to be opening up now in just under an hour's time i believe as you can see it's a mixed performance yesterday and. the mice that surround a porsche other percent down a source is concerned it was bad but it was one of the biggest losers now this is because they can all eighty percent of the shares to the public investors what i

mean is if you think i was in for a good idea too as you can see the numbers speak for themselves. well that's because a strong got oil if we get to exchange rates we can see that the euro rebounded against the dollar and those ruble prices what they stood out yesterday the ruble will be trading again shortly for today's session as you can see that is stronger against the dollar and the year and that's because the risk appetite is getting stronger because of the u.s. performance now as you can see oil is doing a rather well indeed there's loads of oil news today we've got the u.k. prime minister david cameron saying the reserve stockpiles should be considered at the moment because prices are so high now in order for this to come about it would need u.s. president barack obama to agree to this he hasn't done so yet but we will be monitoring of the situation and this morning i've been reading some comments from one of the leading economists we've been to he's also known as got to do now he

says that the biggest race to the global economy all these oil prices and if we do see them strengthen it more so we could see a slowdown in the u.s. economy so that's how the markets as a next hour have the figures for the russian markets.
