a high level flirt a senior f.b.i. official claims russian spies a siren and a chaplain was extradited for getting too close to someone inside a bombers in a circle as we report. hello and welcome to leaven pm choose the evening here in moscow this is our t.v. my name's kevin owen and the developing news story tonight a syrian government official saying troops of begun pulling out from cities as part of the international peace plan the authorities earlier agreed on april the tenth as the deadline for ending military operations as suggested by special envoy kofi annan middle east correspondent paula just update the details as to say it's a developing story tonight paula earlier on today we were hearing reports of continuing violence from syria that's nothing new sadly how does that square up

with the news we're hearing tonight of the government's confirmation that it is now getting its soldiers. well a syrian government official has confirmed that syrian troops have begun with point karn cities and returning to their bases while in the more than one atrocities the troops have moved to the outskirts now this one is about only one head of a deadline for an international peace plan to be implemented that was the plan it was first forward by the former u.n. chief. but rather to stay the violence wasn't continuing in other cities in syria never violence coming from both sides it also comes just days after the government in damascus said it would hear a portent deadline by which it would pull pull its troops and also ed here to a cease fire but according to the plan the opposition will have some forty eight hours to stop fighting and this is a point that the syrian government has scris that if the opposition does not come

to the party then this peace plan has no chance of surviving at the same time on tuesday syrian officials confirmed to moscow that they were implementing the cease fire and at the same time understanding and monday we saw a meeting by the friends of syria and this was where the united states and other allies plagal the support to the opposition here we heard that they were willing to fund and provide communication equipment to the opposition with the syrian opposition confirming that saudi arabia and other allies said that they would be pledging millions of dollars for salaries to the gables so that they could stay pappa their opposition to the syrian government now this is a very controversial news because on the one hand you have this question of the tension and as if that and confirmation are the syrian government that is moving ahead with the peace plan but on the other hand you have the opposition seemingly

stressing that it's going to receive support from the united states and other western allies to increase its opposition to your policy or a middle east correspondent thanks for those i forgot to talk as well in fact dr a mayor saloon from the universal peace federation spoke to me earlier on he says he believes funneling money to be opposition at this point will most likely result in more bloodshed. sending money as much as millions of dollars to the rebels or to the opposition has to be inside syria will help them a lot i mean they will help them in military not just takes military. artillery they are just like a burning to fire again and this will not act as a support to the united nations land regional power such as turkey or saudi arabia or qatar they want to hear that much pressure on the regime of president bashar assad in order for him to leave the country let them have the new president there's a lawyer for the saudis all the countries and even the west in no such nation has

stood up and bet the resistance inside lebanon and even healthy in a new regime all the islamic republic of iran and such like. in the in the few years that he was president since two thousand and ten no. big story what are your thoughts on it and i were asking what do you think president assad will meet next tuesday's deadline for a cease fire currently this is what filling us in reaction to that question on our web site. of the voting r.t. dot com thinking violence won't stop because the opposition is going to push for libyan scenario to bring in foreign military as you see on the graph there about a third of you tonight believe the troops might be inside if the rebels lay down their arms sixty percent of you're saying assad close to crushing the opposition was only five percent if you're telling us you think the international pressure will work and that a cease fire will be achieved militarily positive about the from you at the moment so plenty of chance to change that those. votes open for you right now if you'd

like to take part. in. the russian capital has been struck by two massive fires within hours of each other first the top floors of a skyscraper moscow's new business complex became engulfed in flames on monday evening it took over one hundred firefighters and several helicopters for hours to extinguish the flames of the tower which is said. to become europe's tallest once constructions completed. then later a fire broke out at one of the markets some the couple's outskirts seventeen people all believed was migrant workers that was killed in a blaze that got warehouse where they were apparently living because of the fires thought to be of no functioning he said to produce the story well you can find more folks in photographs of those two files on the web site of. the battle for india's lucrative defense markets intensifying but a scandal involving the country's military chief could see

a reshuffle among foreign supply is india's defense minister is already banned for firms and that could see russia helping to fill the gap these proofs. from new delhi a major scandal has rocked india involving a three billion dollars bribe allegedly with india's army general he's written a statement to the indian prime minister saying that the army tanks are out of ammunition and the infantry is short of critical lappie and obviously that is causing a major security concern but it's also an incredible opportunity for other foreign countries to come into india to sell military technology france the united states the united kingdom and russia are four of the key players who are interested in selling military technology to india for the world's biggest importer of arms and india is expected to spend one hundred billion dollars on military equipment in the next ten years and russia has said that it can provide three billion dollars of

equipment in the next year one of the pieces of military equipment that the russians are trying to sell to the indians are the four hundred surface to air missiles. chris schrader this is r t coming up the final moments of the passenger plane the crash the western side of the aircraft apart on impact during emergency landing which left twelve survivors out of the forty three on board will bring you up to date with that story also the stakes high for italy this convolving a burgeoning gambling problem these days as people place more trust in the lottery the chance that with the government. here in russia it's no easier for political groups to register as official parties present a dread of put pen to paper on a new law which is the first in a series of major reforms to diversify the country's political makeup artist peter oliver exclaims. it's going to have quite a significant impact on the the political landscape in russia now because the

change really came about following the parliamentary elections in december of last year we saw tens of thousands of people out on the streets of russia unhappy with what they saw as elect all irregularities in that polity one of the main points they were making were saying that there was a lack of political options and that they wanted to see changes to the political system to allow that choice to be there for them now what the small changes is what makes it much easier for a political party to be a great uses previously you needed forty thousand members forty thousand signatories in order to to set up a political party this law that number to five hundred so what we will see from this law is that more parties will be created and it will also be more difficult for parties to be denied just ration juice or regularities changes to the law is something that the opposition had been quite vocal about how that it's been signed

into play though what we're hearing from some of the opposition is that they're not entirely happy with it. they say that in fact it will lead to just too many political parties. the power that's needed. to be a successful opposition no to counter that the government is saying that the ability to establish new political parties much easier will be will allow a broader representation of the the russian people are all over it thought the aircraft in monday's deadly crash in western siberia disintegrated when one of its engines touched the ground investigators say the pilot was trying to make an emergency landing and then rolled heavily to the left thirty one people were killed when the plane hit the ground just minutes after takeoff trying to still tonight say twelve survivors technical failures. incident the likely cause of the crash investigators are also looking into why the plane's wings were before the flight

but something aviation consultant and former american airlines pilot captain mark vi says is vital. the icing is a very critical factor if icing conditions existed there are certain parameters that will require. aircraft it's a preventative measure that would allow the wings to maintain the lift. and for circumstances once you get the black box and determine what happened with the engines what happened with the air for the wind itself the cockpit voice recorders will tell you a lot the transmission to the traffic controllers whether or not. an emergency to pin the cleared. you know throwing out terms like pilot error is very easy but not necessarily accurate and if you look further details on a plane crash in western siberia if you go to our web site. we can probably shoot

the timeline and analysis on what could have led to the tragedy as the investor day as the investigation continues also as you can see more images pictures and a look at the concerns will generally of the safety of some of russia's. f.b.i. top brass in america have admitted the russian spy added chapman got a little too close for comfort the counter intelligence chief claims the bomb style beauty tried to seduce a top official in president obama's administration bennett school details. well i certainly don't think this was we we had a thought we'd heard the last around chapman the reason why she was suddenly deported from the us and these fresh allegations against the russian spy turned sex symbol supposedly reveal the real reason as to why she was suddenly arrested and deported from america in two thousand and ten a top u.s. official claims that she was being used as a honey trap to ensnare and member of president obama's inner circle and supposedly

she became she came actually very close to suggesting her target now if this were true certainly would go some way to explaining why anna chapman along with nine other and i and others were suddenly exposed as a russian sleeper agent and why the u.s. government hastily deported them in what was the biggest twice what with russia since the end of the cold war and this isn't by any means the first allegation of a russian honeytrap only last year there were claims against the suspected spy cat is that hillary yet or is she is being used as a honey trap to gain high level access within the british government that was after details emerged of her an affair that she was conducting with them he announced three times her age and that case that the british government can actually prove its claims now when it comes to anna chapman the u.s. government of course won't have to prove its claims who's already deported her but either way i don't think anna channel will be particularly bothered because certainly in the british tabloids this is only served to enhance her reputation.

our correspondent in london i mentioned ati dot com a website it's now great pictures there tonight you need to head for heights if you take a look at these amazing pictures filmed by a climber could one of the iconic stylee skyscrapers in moscow the beautiful to look out for down on terra firma but this is what it's like looking back down to scary stuff you need to head for heights if you want to see more about its online. however going in the other direction take a look at this the lucky escape for the drivers of the trucks that plunged a cliff video in their terrifying tale on our website. you barbara administrations ran tough its efforts against al qaeda in yemen launching dozens of air attacks targeting the terror group in march alone washington backed at least six such strikes killing militants as well as civilians want to talk about this now with this is professor charles. university's also

president of the american institute on the yemeni studies so we're delighted to have you on the program thanks for being with us i mean first of all let's talk about the legal basis of this what legal basis if any does the u.s. have to carry out these airstrikes can you outline that for us you know that's a good question of course is the use of military force. is not a war with words far from any act of raises questions the way the administration is justifying it is there it is. the decision one of the use of military force which you know isn't one. node interactions in yemen because they're under. the. recently. said to kill american citizens. on the basis that they're

simply a big. national security and the normal means of arresting someone is not available and so they're out so to breach of the u.s. law. they could simply be assassinated by legal basis for this is quite shaky. we recall back to december two thousand and nine ok the basis of this whole thing is to. is to target terrorists because as you've been mentioning there as well civilians are caught up in this back in december two thousand and nine forty four died in a single raid. will washington ever be held accountable over those deaths for instance. no i mean. that the target was a military camp and this is going to ask would not be considered a war crime in the sense that they were they were using appropriate force against

the enemy and so that would never not become a war crime issue because. i think that the want to show you how the targeting is made how the. decision is made the targets of mine initially it was if they were someone. actually the first drone attack was in yemen if you know . the guy named the heart of the. killed six people and since then they've used it quite frequently they used it against a lucky they killed are lucky but they also killed a lucky where his only crime has been. they claim it was a highway i tell you with a little bit of move to me. yes that's exactly right and you know what is the determination of who's a legitimate target or not. and you know just because they claim to help. a military target i mean how do you determine what you are if your affiliation with

al qaeda determines your position ok i would want to president obama's incest with most of this is his watch what does he take such an interest in yemen i think in a crowded democratic president. does not want to show that he's weak on the military so he's going to know you know the impossible to prevent any attack by al qaeda and they like the military technology that is no risk to american personnel they can just come in from the sky and do it from far away a little very little risk to america's professor we've got less than a minute there's one quick question i want to ask. you're quoted in the l.a. times as saying the more the u.s. applies its current policy to stronger al qaeda seems to get we've only got thirty seconds that's a very interesting point considering it's out because after here that's where they go in the first place. can you elaborate. i'm not sure that we can make

a direct causal link between the use of drones and american involvement in the increase in. but it certainly is the case that now we're talking with a moving target i think the danger is that the united states will be drawn into a counterinsurgency operation and i think that's where we're headed making no distinction between you know somebody who terrorists are united states and you know somebody who's this is participating in a counterinsurgency inside of yemen and that's a very dangerous president don't tell us much of the program the first. university of maryland and from the american institute of yemeni studies your insights appreciate it thank you. but also around the world tonight argentinean protesters rallying against britain's control of the four call of violence and clashed with police and one of the demonstrators outside the british embassy held petrol bombs and told them police barricades them for offices responded with tear gas the demo

marked the thirtieth anniversary of the start of the fall for this war which forms the found a. record breaking winds one hundred fifty kilometers now it's been recorded in japan because two deaths in tokyo were simply walk across the street didn't cover that its challenges as you can see there many people had trouble holding on to their belongings and standing up straight under the flights were canceled with gusts expected to continue through to wednesday. focusing in on italy now it's going to counseling problem the number of people getting addicted it seems to scratch cards and lotteries. and it's the deeply struggling economy that's making it works. for us. oh. for eighty years now marco has been telling his story over and over again to other members of gamblers anonymous but even that's not long enough he says to cure himself of the addiction bowker and being go to go away his parents wife and

several jobs at one point he resorted to stealing money from his own mother. perfect world. and then. taking over. i got to go for a while i was earning a lot. of the way marco started gambling when he was eight back then there were no t.v. a lot trace but there were beautiful movies and irresistible you were for potential gamblers. i knew a lot of that given how. desperate to win their fortune in modern easily around a million gamblers a figure growing rapidly due to the economic crisis in america. marketing has become very aggressive and sells gambling as if lottery tickets were daily groceries commercials promise of to help overcome financial difficulties because of

the crisis is not only men who gamble it's also their wives and their children who play poker online before gambling in italy was like an erotic movie today it's like porn. after the us easily has the largest law trans credit card market in the world last year alone eighty billion euros were up for grabs and while casinos and he put drones have been losing clients mass gambling. gambling is the only thing people spend money on here they spend three hundred four hundred euros then they win one hundred years and are happy because they won when in fact they've lost two hundred this is one of the most popular ways of gambling any taling all you have to do is scratch a strip on a ticket and you could win a fortune i wasn't that lucky today but for some the promise of becoming an instant millionaire is simply too much to resist on average ten percent of

a family income any tell you spent on gambling it significantly helps the government heal its coffers but the health minister is beating the alarm. gambling will soon be included on the list of acknowledged diseases and it will change everything will work and prevention complains will offer psychological assistance to gamble as well also in large medical programs the health minister also proposes a man during the current law to take a lot of the television and seriously restrict gambling but before these happens for marco and his other fellows overcoming addiction will remain a question of self-discipline and faith it's in the direction of r r t. to. stacy on this channel explaining how it's a giant investment banks to trade in countries like italy dry. time after time report articles have shown if you purchased some credit derivatives from goldman sachs from j.p.

morgan look at the entirety of italy municipalities going broke all across italy why because they got credit derivatives from j.p. morgan dollars actually going to a country like greece based on faulty bonds they cooked the books so they can get into the euro then they collapse then greece and other countries got all the sacks out of cure the problem of having dealt with goldman sachs of course the earnings are up then it's a virtuous cycle what kind of drugs are they got these big people taking. over. there seems risk across all the probabilities of the money market today the ups turns and the buying of airports may be because they're russia's richest battling for the skies all rather tarmac or if you've got forests well two of russia's richest tycoons are indeed preparing for battle and over to take over in order to take over airport the largest in moscow and actually in russia on one hand

we've got mikail friedman he is the head of alpha group and backing him is state owned bank ve was ready to provide two billion dollars worth of financial support in the other corner we've got the head of so much capital investment bankers you have got me out of he's got the backing of his burbank now they're both offering three billion dollars for the assets but the idea of us management is asking fifty percent more than whoever is successful in the end would still need the approval of the government on this deal. all right we first heard the minutes from the fed meeting in the united states which have not indicated any quantity of easing in plans of the fed in the nearest future and therefore the markets continue to be depressed nothing new here dow jones still down a point six percent nasdaq point four percent over in europe trading and did

a few hours ago with a foot see down point six percent x. one percent that's a correction after a two percent gain in the previous session and on the currency markets the euro and the dollar stand in paul with the euro regaining just a bit of losses that is see in the previous session now the ruble meanwhile as you can see the continued strengthening for second session again around the half a percent versus the basket of the two currencies. now if we take a look at the commodities markets now there's been a correction pretty much all session long light sweet declining one dollar thirty cents brant a little less than that still that's three dollars higher than the opening of the previous session on monday and therefore the russian market is a secular good that saw some pretty hefty gains with the r.t.s. gaining more than two point three percent to my sixty one point nine percent the

difference there of course is based on the currency movements because of my sixes nomination and rubles while the r.t.s. is trading in dollars now among different stories on the nice legs lukoil up two and a half percent with investors. getting a hint basically from two banks most efficient are going to be capital that the company's ambitious program to go ahead and boost out towards at the same time quadruple dividends may not happen after rule and apparently they're taking this positively and therefore the gains kasparov up one point eight percent despite the correction and why. prices still a very good level of support coming from crude and they're gaining almost four percent on the higher commodity. among other stories big international acquisition and the brewing industry north america's more than cause has bought its rival czech starbury which is famous would start
