join me for more in just a moment to find out what the world's most wanted whistleblower has installed. broadcasting live from moscow around the world this is our kevin o. it's eight pm here now in our top story than russia has expressed regret over north korea's controversial rocket launch but is calling for restraint and diplomacy as the u.n. security council is preparing now for an emergency meeting over what action to take against pyongyang the launch ended in failure as the rocket probably fit into the sea just moments after takeoff south korea japan and the u.s. suspect the north tested though an intercontinental ballistic missiles that the is banned from doing by u.n. resolutions pyongyang insists it was trying to send a satellite into orbit russia maintains the north has a right to

a peaceful space program. running up this story this afternoon paper all of it is across developments for r.t. . the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has been speaking alongside his chinese and indian counterparts to be holding a meeting here in moscow that meeting dominated by the the fallout from this failed rocket launch coming out of north korea now sort of a love role they expressed russia's regret that the launch should taken place but said it's as far as moscow is concerned putting more sanctions on north korea wouldn't really do any good when it came to stopping these type of launches taking place perhaps in the future now said simmons was backed up by the chinese foreign minister saying that china was opposed to any form of sanctions further sanctions being placed uphold. and now this goes against the sentiments we're hearing coming out of countries like the united states south korea and japan those three nations have expressed their concern deep concern not they say this rocket launch in fact

saying that it wasn't the a rocket trying to put a satellite into space is the north koreans had said that it wasn't part of a cover for a test of a long range intercontinental ballistic missile something which north korea is prohibited from trying to to carry out it's expected that those three countries are they mentioned the united states south korea and japan may try and call for further sanctions something that russia of not facts to. say diplomacy was the only way to try and find a solution we convinced challenges must be met purely political and diplomatic means we're calling on all sides concerned to be restrained responsible and committed to the resumption of the six party talks this format has no alternative to resolve the situation on the korean peninsula for a month the u.s. is saying that north korea is have gone back on promises that were made earlier

this year they said that they wouldn't test any further rockets and its chain. food aid also reports coming out of south korea the north could be preparing a nuclear test now this would be the third time that they've conducted such a test the u.n. have been involved in several resolutions have been on the table regarding north korea's nuclear program but all of this is happening against the backdrop of the united states beefing up their presence in the asia pacific region now the reasons given from d.c. is that the united states wants to move their focus away from military focus away from the middle east asia pacific region to try and keep an eye on nations like china and iran. petrov wrote so the foreign office of moscow there will today we're asking you what you think the international community should do to resolve north korea's rocket controversy it's question our website we're asking you to cast your vote in our online poll about how you think it should be dealt with this is what you're telling us. this is what the majority of you think just over sixty percent

say the world should show goodwill by giving the north a satellite already in orbit another. quarter of you are suggesting turning a blind eye to it eight percent say the pouring out of missile systems in the region is the solution the rest of you six percent this hour calling for more sanctions against pyongyang what do you think the right way forward it's always good to hear from you on our website r.t. dot com coming up on this channel our team oscar the election fear factor french politicians including the close sarkozy of turning the far right rhetoric these days and are accused now of isolating muslims ahead of next week's presidential ballot report coming up for you. but next the u.n. observer teams on standby to enter syria to help monitor monitor that fragile cease fire there it's now awaiting approval resolution from the security council bringing us up to date on this story out is when a port has got the latest from new york to. this new resolution i was talking about

on syria is expected to be agreed isn't it tell us a little more about the details of the draft if you would. well once the security council if the security council adopts this resolution it essentially gives the green light for up to ten to twelve observers to get on a plane board a plane and go to syria to monitor the cease fire the fragile cease fire that has been put into place according to the spokesman of joint envoy kofi anon a team of up to twenty two hundred fifty people will eventually make it to syria to monitor mr anon six point peace plan but for now it's the security council giving approval for the beginning stages mr anon through his spokesperson said the ceasefire has been relatively respected and however syria has yet to comply with all the demands including opening of the humanitarian corridor wars that was asked by this six point peace plan from the very beginning has endorsed and

supported mr anon plan to bring peace to syria following thirteen months of violence russian ambassador to the u.n. to tell the churkin did address the media saying that this is a time for the opposition groups to also try to engage more in dialogue and try to engage with the the assad government churkin said that it's more important than ever right now for an observer mission to go to syria not only to monitor the actions of damascus but also to see what the opposition is doing. it's crucial for the monitors to be on the ground to make sure that any transgressions of the current of the current state of the while and is going to be detected and that everybody must refrain from any any hint and provocation we are concerned of the possibility of provocations so instead of instead of talking about demonstrations

opposition leaders must finally formulate their attitude towards political dialogue teletech in their will on the ground when a report to several killed and clashes close to the border is that much hope that the un for they see thought. well i think members of the security council remain cautiously optimistic but the reality is that on thursday the syrian national council called for those supporting the opposition to take to the streets and we have seen images of some violence taking place instead of the opposition groups claim that bashar al assad's government has used water cannons and tear gas to suppress those out on the streets those that support the opposition parts he assad government said they did not have permission to be out there in addition we have to remember that the u.s. and its allies have previously said the proper charlotte side house to go they've also pledged more support for the opposition group on april first they have

recognized the opposition as the legitimate representatives of the syrian people are inside the arabia u.s. as close as arab allies have also openly called to arm the opposition so here you have on one side the security council trying to reach a consensus to bring peace to syria but that is also being undermined by very powerful nations that are are are calling for a government to step aside so they're trying to broker a deal but right now they're discussing trying to get a monitor mr an observer mission to syria as soon as possible well of course keep our viewers updated when and if that happens as you say really complicated the position. we're going from. now remember if you get a minute. or two don't call for more updates nor news and a lot more is what we don't time to bring you on the t.v. side of tonight we're talking about of which one of our correspondents on the list

become enemies and other world considers a threat to security also trouble over. there is a rough look at those pictures using video. active volcano. online or up signal. dot com. china is set to help iran counter the e.u. oil embargo that should have come into force in july beijing says it will deliver the first of twelve huge crude carriers to around next month to expand its tanker fleet as many firms from used to transport are running oil because of the current western sanctions let's talk about this development with investment advisor patrick patrick good evening to you. quite a big move this isn't it i mean with iran having such support from china will the embargo ichiban same of forcing to rant of abandon its nuclear program now do you think. look what we're seeing here really is

a situation where the world is no longer on a sort of single cold or bipolar since multi-polar and therefore china has incredible economic power it can deliver all manner of different industrial and technological goods it sees no reason not to money to take advantage and ultimately these oil tankers have been being built for the last year or two years and they're going to manage to deliver them just before the sanctions regime that happens in i would imagine that's going to be a very welcome development for the reunion regime and a lot of us you can no longer sell their oil to greece and other members of the european union or talk it over the top of that as you say greece and spain they become the latest countries to stop importing that iranian or because of that embargo of course both countries as well as we've been talking about at length over the last year or so on their opposite about and financially how big a blow is that get a bit of them well it's absolutely tragic for them because just at the point in time work all of the other colors of their civilization are gradually being picked on because the fiscal for a moment is a total disaster big time but the oil that they very reasonable prices is suddenly

going to have to go to market really it's all a bit they're going to transource from somewhere else so it's one of these here is predicaments were no one really wants to argue about the politics of the player but ultimately it's the european union's weakness nations that are actually in the direct line to suffer more than necessarily the really in some cells to i was just getting my haircut in a bar business only yesterday go ask me why it's a long story but the talk about barbara's was of the rising gas prices going up per two percent they're going to ten percent rather all prices going up two percent in the coming week or so that's all they were talking about emotions which really affected people on the street why is the new we're going to join the u.s. same question around with all this background in mind well look i mean clearly the e.u. has a series of different issues that it wants to bring forward and one. that means that the european union wants to act like some kind of nature

a foreign power it spend a huge amount of money bringing in a sort of european foreign commissioner mrs ashton and so on and the problem then is of course that sometimes you have to do things in foreign policy that well to use an old irish expression you end up cutting off your nose to spite your face in other words you end up with a problem because actually economically you can hurt your own people rather than somewhere else but again i think the problem with this is it's a kind of growing thin for the european union because they haven't really got their head around how they can manage to juggle all the different balls of multinational steer to it whether it be the economy what are their feeling of its military or indeed an international city it's obviously they're trying very very hard to stop around getting a nuclear weapon but at the same time the way that they don't it is not good for their economy patrick really really briefly want to go couple of seconds that the flip side of this what's going to iran get around survive moving its customers in europe around hastert seifert very very hard to find new customers and those

customers are going to be in places i wouldn't budget like india china other states that are more to the east rather than to the west thank you for your thoughts investment advisor pro trigger on the line there from poland tonight thank you but . now there's pretty much buzz and mystery of where the world's most famous whistle blower and his forthcoming show here on this very channel r.t. from moscow and it's finally happening we can reveal next tuesday when your son and his program premiers here that is laura swift caught up with him and got a sneak peek of what's waiting for you. the first episode of the show will be broadcast on tuesday april seventeenth so that this chews day coming and we and julian together really hoping this is going to be an explosive new show i can't tell you the name of the first guest you'll have to choose name yourselves to find that out on choose day but i can tell you that they are all opinion formers some of them this isn't and some of them had never been interviewed before on english

language television the first guest is particularly controversial and according to julian in the wake of interview highly charismatic so do you find out what that's all about i met with him recently and i talked all about the show how he chose his guests why he decided to do it and of course he spent a lot of time sitting on the other side of the interview his desk and he told me a bit about his disenchantment really with the mainstream media and why he chose me to broadcast first this show the things that we're trying to report. in the mainstream purse. gently or not this week coming up the week in which the first show is going to be broadcast is really a week of anniversaries for him both personal and professional it's going to be five hundred days since the investigation into these allegations of sexual assault

by two swedish women began now we've seen that at the request for his extradition go through the courts here in the u.k. right up to the supremes courts which in that case finished at the beginning of february that's ten weeks ago now we still don't have a verdict we are expecting it possibly to come next week but there's still no set date for that verdict to be handed down and still after five hundred days no charges have been laid against him it's also five hundred days since the wiki leaks bank accounts were first frozen so that has made funding for wiki leaks very difficult. and threatening that was so great an organization altogether and really that's what makes this program so unique the fact that it was conceived. while. living under house arrest here in britain awaiting this verdict on his extradition is two reasons first of all being on the house arrest the sort of more force that happen occasional visitor. time or more about the world and the conversations we

were having according to some of the people what was going on that's what the second reason is that as someone who's given a lot of them before and it's been on the receiving end of a very aggressive. i felt that i wasn't getting much right. pretty quickly. he was going to keep some sort of principles for. people to take care of a quarter and i wanted to have a different sort of proportion of the people. that approach has been difficult and sometimes i think it's also it's excitement and look we have a science or interesting or important thing for them or the movie because they're not dealing with. you know sort of going to somehow sort of. corporate political problems. so you can see the full version of that interview on monday the sixteenth

of april and that'll be followed hot on the heels by the first episode of the program on tuesday the seventeenth of april we're still awaiting a verdict on julian assange his extradition but we are quite glad that he's managed to make this program before whatever happens to him happens to him obviously his main fear has always been that he will be extradited from sweden to the u.s. . there hasn't been anything yet he. used to get the maximum with. the full resources. that is what helps keep the reason. we want to present. something. great new program coming up for you next tuesday and you can follow the build up to it on twitter on you tube and on our website r.t.

dot com of your say as well about it when it's on air the next night with a friend said to choose the next president just over a week's time politicians are rushing to secure last when it support of course growing immigration and fear of terrorism are being used by some candidates to sway voters with president sarkozy who seeking a second term among the front runners in the charge to the right artist has received reports now from paris and he immigration and the euro antiglobalization and advocates of protectionism all and the name of the french state and national identity. there is not a single french person not one european who does not know that i am a sworn enemy of the european single currency busters it's like a radical islam as a direct consequence of mass immigration at the left and the right in posed for decades and is met no. traditionally on the fringes of france's national

politics the rhetoric of today's far right may no longer be as far off for its citizens as it once was opinion polls suggest that presidential candidate may be independent of the ultra right wing national front party is third with potentially ten million votes its biggest support base ever there is no party surfing think griffen friends. so if you don't speak french. it doesn't bother anyone but. we don't want. to play king live so we want to have a different korean it is but there will be other europe as an identity and it's destroyed inside and. enter let them with her calls for economic patriotism prioritizing france over europe its native citizens over others of giving the french back their jobs. and center right incumbent nicolas sarkozy stands accused

of jumping on the far right bandwagon some say for the ballot sake. our integration system is getting worse and worse why because we have too many foreigners in our territory threatening to withdraw from the shame game border free agreement by no coincidence at a time when europe is seeing an influx of refugees fleeing conflicts in north africa and the middle east this is a traitor letter or shift so we would have to see the whole thing is really what we do is us. sarkozy knows pretty well that he was elected in two thousand and seven only because he was able to catch a vote as a national front and no the situation is quite the same some say that what was once a protest vote is now a more permanent part of the french political spectrum from going. there is certainly a part of the electorate who vote for the reasons of dissent but i think it must now be recognised in if it's difficult to accept that the vote for the national

front is increasingly a vote of support. the increasing problem is a right with rhetoric in france especially the lead up to the presidential elections it's clear what's more difficult to decipher is whether this growing support for the right reflects the direction the russian side of values has taken or is simply a knee jerk reaction to everything the french see wrong in their country that's are so your artsy paris let me bring it to those who will do stories of grief and see what's called its least neighbors riled up thousands of walked on to the streets of rome to protest the overall the pension system the demonstrators say removed from those recent retired. several years before the start raising the pension age from this year labor unions protest is the latest sign of a challenger satisfaction really an elected technocrat government. elsewhere tens of thousands of protesters in egypt to demand the ruling military jets of plans of members of the ousted mubarak regime from running for the presidency the

demonstration was organized by the muslim brotherhood another is remiss groups of the parliament voted for the measure it follows the surprise candidacy announcement of mubarak era vice president and intelligence chief omar suleiman to become law the ban has to be approved by the ruling military council which took over from the topic taken last year. but we'll do so from minister of guinea bissau carlos gomez jr has been arrested by soldiers in an apparent coup soldiers attack his residence with heavy weapons seizing a premiere in advance of a one off presidential elections later this month which he was expected to win and he's opposed by the army which also took control of key buildings in a radio station in the volatile nation of military spokesman said it didn't want to take power but claimed the prime minister was planning to bring an end goal in troops into the country. the un has called for immediate end to escalating fighting between sudan and south sudan and the sport disputed border region itself to

southern forces captured the town of hague a place responsible for half a sudan's oil production now the un wants forces from both sides to withdraw behind borders and for a presidential summit to be held between the countries to resolve the conflict the fighting along the all rich from here is the worst now since south sudan became independent last july keeping a close eye on that story for you keeping a close eye on the business let's cross now it's just after twenty four minutes past eight o'clock moscow time to meet business there right there it's friday evening week coming to an end as the mood of the markets that ahead of the weekend was not only friday it's friday the thirteenth so the mood as he did remark here of course pretty much in line with those superstitions not much going on really so investors are working with what they have and what they have is not really pleasing them and that's chinese g.d.p. data falling short of expectations coming in at eight point one percent growth not eight point four as was forecast let's take a look at what's going on in the united states first of all the dow and the dow's

there are seeing declines with j.p. morgan chase and wells fargo also down after reporting financial results for the first quarter we're in the middle of the earnings report season of course over in europe are those fears about china's economy are also coupled with with their own worries. stic worries about borrowing costs and sovereign debts and therefore the footsies down more than one percent the dax even worse than that two and a half percent almost with commerce playing leading the losses over here in russia the week has been well pretty weird i have to say because the correlation was not really direct between russian markets and the other markets so what we're seeing is a mixed picture with a nice. look at what was moving the my six while financial stocks were a drag gazprom was a strong gain up one point three percent but that's on the back of a recent initiatives proposed by the government to ease the tax burden for

companies working in the arctic shelf now actually much more from u.b.s. says although these initiatives look at tractor if they're not good at. this and think yes that is huge here it's pretty good you can see. about. zero progress so if you. think it well it's not enough if you want it really is. clear. legal framework because you know all this export because the. growth is expected you can change. of course here so from the north. pole over on the commodities market we're also seeing some cautiousness with a correction going on but that's all in the hopes that a military conflict with iran may be avoided and therefore political risk in the

commodity markets will be reduced and in the currencies we are seeing that the euro is the lining massively versus the dollar this is connected with the fact that a lot of investors are selling right now as we've seen with the indices and moving into cash notably the dollar and also about worries with rising borrowing costs over in europe so kevin as you can see there really cautious superstitious you could say trading on friday the thirteenth all right thanks to me tree now coming up on this channel kids taking over the catwalks in the latest edition of the very shortly after i've updated you on the headlines in just under three minutes time in fact.
