you know too many pros who have the tryst the who doesn't talk the should be slighted sort of part two speaks to the architect of the libyan uprising against moammar gadhafi but the former n.t.s.c. leader voicing what many had long suspected. moscow and washington see eye to eye over the role of special envoy kofi annan mission in syria as the first step towards peace as presidents me and obama exchanged their final handshakes also. it's easier to. deal with a good soldier to give themselves up to criticism of a controversial israeli army policy which calls on soldiers to avoid kids now but

costs even if it means taking their own life or that of a comrade. thanks for joining r t three o'clock here in moscow i'm karen tara well the man widely credited with spearheading the rebellion against moammar gadhafi has blasted the west for abandoning libya and it's time to meet mahmoud jibril told the global security forum that his country risks being taken over by extremists our correspondents has our silly i met the former n.t.s.b. head for an exclusive interview to share his theory on what was behind the tough is death. that was something a very interesting the whole world was watching when it actually happened and to hear him how his theories on what could have been the cause or who was actually

behind it was really very interesting let's listen to what he had to say there are too many properties who have interest. if he doesn't talk that he should be silenced forever. with that he was killed by a foreign entity or killed by libyans or libyans and therefore the others really don't know. now what's interesting there is if you remember from the from the beginning he was traveling around the world visiting foreign leaders to get their support to the regime he was then leading the effort against the gadhafi regime and afterwards after some of the investigation or some questions arising out of the death of gadhafi the way he was killed he himself passed the station and i had asked him was it a foreign power which western power were you referring to and that's what he said well right now i can say i don't know it could have been for him to discount the fact that it could have been. a foreign power that was questioned from the very beginning in fact in that the brussels forum with was very open and i think honest

revelation of thoughts and i am thankful for grateful for nato support and not listening to the other countries as well outside of nato that have provided arms but what i want to hear now is he also came in there saying that the biggest problem in libya right now is to get the guns off the street and so it's a bit ironic we saw that ok you have the help coming in in the form of arms and now that is the biggest problem to create a civil society a democratic side that he himself has been trying to push for for the time being you have two groups. committing. sometimes the. switch. with human rights. going to hold them responsible you cannot hold the government responsible for that because the government is not in control of those groups but actually one of the main topics that we wanted to discuss with them was about islamic groups what he actually thought of that extremism or even even his

presence in the region listen to what he had to say i'm not. having them in libya this. might result in the. end of the the whole european continent is going to suffer from. so this rise of possible extremism could be the level varies depending on what country we've seen in the arab spring countries the rise of such groups as long as groups and those with the foundation of their political view and now in the international context what was interesting we asked him is how do you think the whole world or europe or the u.s. is going to react to a possibly new leader that's really legitimately elected by the people of these countries all of libya that may not be in accordance with the interest of those countries that supported them so that was a very interesting part of the interview and he had shared his thoughts on those as well. and her full interview with mark djibril is coming up in the next hour also in the program the sour brain drain from the politics booming economy

a lot is finding its brightest and best are leaving the country a light in. point. with a modern day problem what's the best way of getting to work taking a comfy car but getting trapped in traffic or squeezing into the crowded metro. with no end in sight the crisis in syria is still dominating international attention and has been in the spotlight at a final meeting between the leaders of russia and the u.s. now going president medvedev was meeting president obama on the sidelines of the nuclear security summit in seoul. has the latest. it's the last meeting for president would have been his capacity as such as the leader of russia but of course the one subject which dominated meeting on the sidelines was the syria issue and of course the two presidents have agreed that the mission by kofi annan

is absolutely intrinsic in order to reinstall stability and peace in this country let's have a listen to what president medvedev had to say on the matter. we have agreed to be u.s. presidents that this mission could be a positive step to ease the tensions the. dialogue between different fields is operating in syria at the moment we are prepared to provide. any help that may be necessary. was in moscow just on sunday after his talks with russian president dmitry medvedev said that our loans mission is absolutely vital in order to prevent our bloody civil war in syria so that of course was one matter where russia and the united states seemed to see eye to eye but of course there was also an issue of missile defense shield in europe and unfortunately in this in this case both countries remain where they stand. of course you need any case we stick children solutions russia's position and the united states to the journal going to

be issues not to. do tonight is three and frankly speaking we have enough time to real this issue. and of course both presidents have underlined several times that this was a very productive last several years in fact russian presidents of the past three years between i was washington have been best in over the past ten years for the country relations between the two countries remember the reset button the exception to w.q. all russia's russia's bid for such which was of course appointed by the united states so i was so there is of course there are still some disagreements i wish the two countries are facing but it does look like they are determined to talk things out and have come to agreement on some vital issues as well. but russian and u.s. leaders also agreed to send a signal to north korea that it should cancel plans to launch a satellite next month president obama is expected to call on china to persuade can

going to scrap the launch which many fear is of the skies this hour tasks professor joseph chang a political analyst from hong kong city university says this won't change the situation at all i give speeches some pressure on but there is a limit to the use of such pressures because the basic reason is that understands that the united space just not the military option. understands that solve career and are not in support of the american military option and that russia and china strongly are appalled to the use of force or being. there for punya own fields save to continue is nuclear brinkmanship also. the american government is already over extended his commitments and a plan missed the trouble in syria and iran and so on during an election

year in the united states the obama administration will not be able to. to use military pressure to military means to exert pressure on. asia and middle east expert john swanson right from cambridge university says that by pursuing the satellite launch of north korea's new leaders want to assert their grip on power. i think it's probably also really an issue about domestic politics and if you have a seat with a new leader in the north i got to wonder what he had to assert its authority to run straight through it's only but it's clearly in charge but it can't be pushed around by the international community and this was a reflex so look to see all the transition to the right ministration the nergal needs the translight all the missile launched from your point if you as a means of illustrating its assurance and its commitment to supporting the interest

soldiers never did come back another nineteen were turned in prisoner exchange deals for kids with soldiers presenting huge problem on a strategic level fought for our country which is why in the one nine hundred eighty s. the israeli army introduced its hannibal protocol it says i.d.f. soldiers must prevent the kidnapping of a fellow soldier even if it sees him killed. it's easier to deal with a bird soldier than a kidnapped soldier and that message was loud and clear last year when israel set free more than a thousand palestinian prisoners in exchange for one captured israeli soldier. and that price say one in five israelis is simply too high but will it force commanders to get strict and insist they soldiers kill

recently congested roads and the daily journey to work for people in major cities can turn into something of a nightmare especially the case in moscow where people spend hours in their cars every day the latest statistics show and they could half their traveling time by taking a metro artist. examines why many lost clients prefer not to. they both believe home early. it's still dark outside. he goes on to use public transport she gets into the comfort of her and car. they are young must like russian lady and a frenchman living and working in moscow. they both spend roughly an hour to an hour and a half to get into one except that on the map his route is twice as long as hands.

and while he enjoys his book she's stuck in traffic and once the west in the world . coming from paris i think it's a it's a very difficult traffic especially by car you never know when you're live you know when you leave but you never know when you're alive nicholas is charmed by moscow's metro with its elegant mobbles bus released under its ring chandelier is one of the most beautiful of soviet creations it is also known to be extremely efficient first of all the network is amazing it's probably one of the best thing to have because using the world. and also the frequency of bench players amazing get a spot somewhere brinkley's one minute said you have never seen god in my life despite the efficiency of its underground moscow now has more than four million cars and no extra space when you rode with a city's car growing by three hundred thousand calls every. i don't like that

there's a lot of people and it's stuffy i think it's a question of comfort you travel on your own not want to step on your feet there's no dirt so you get so worked all clean and pretty many foreigners coming to moscow believe such attitude is simply irrational as psychologists say there is a whole list of factors contributing to people's attachment to their cars. it's a known fact that there's a private intimate zone around each person but constantly violated when we get on the children it causes an almost physical discomfort in our body add to this the social factor people see a car as a means of climbing up the social ladder and no one wants to go back down. there's a memory of soviet times when people had to save their own life to buy a car and it was considered bullshit since then because our has become to symbolize a better life and make the traffic jam a big part of everyday life by recent study on people's feelings about traveling to

trend is likely to continue obviously oil's holding it up and helping at the moment but even if oil is often coming months there's been a change in brazil where they've they've basically made it harder for brazilians to or to try to discourage capital flows so if a global portfolio investors looking for yield russia with eight percent yield in a country with a current account surplus lots of oil revenues looks very attractive relative to other countries. all right let's take a look at the latest figures was so over the currencies and we have the euro which is retreating both against the ruble and the u.s. dollar and the ruble as we've been mentioning is both against the u.s. dollar and the euro now moving on to european markets we see that out there in the black this hour and bank of energy stocks are leading the gains both of what's in the dax are adding around half a percent give or take this hour so moving on crude it's in the red and that's the
