live from moscow broadcasting around the world this is it's nine pm here now my name's kevin i mean the top story russia has expressed regret over north korea's controversial rocket launch but it's calling on the u.n. security council for restraint and diplomacy over what action to take now against pyongyang the launch ended in failure after the rocket plummeted into the sea just moments after it took off south korea japan and the u.s. suspect the north tested intercontinental ballistic missile something is banned from doing by u.n. resolutions but nonetheless insists it was just trying to send a satellite into orbit russia maintains the north has a right to a peaceful space program running out the latest developments his artie's paper all of. 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 fails rocket launch coming out of north korea. expressed russia's regret that the launch it taken place but said. it was 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 those sentiments were 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 no those three nations have expressed their concern deep concern not they say this rocket launch in fact saying that it wasn't the rocket trying to put a satellite into space is the north koreans had said but 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 carry out it's expected to close the countries that are mentioned the united states south korea and japan may try and call for further sanctions something that russia of no fucks to. say diplomacy was the only way to try and find a solution we convinced challenges are. purely political and diplomatic means we're calling on all sides strained. and committees of the six party talks. the situation. 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 exchange for food aid also reports coming out of south korea they ignored. could be preparing

a nother nuclear test now this would be the third time that they conducted such a test the u.n. had been involved 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 the thing up their presence in the asia pacific region now the reasons for this that are being given from d.c. is that the united states wants to move their focus away from military focus away from the middle east it's awards that asia pacific region to try and keep an eye on nations like china and like iran. thoughts from a specialist jim bell who thinks north korea is just trying to stand up for its rights and its sovereignty it's all part of negotiating ploy when we in america. run. excellently to make some concessions to the same time they have. and are often regarded as the sovereign right and russia.

and china are quite right now every country has the right to launch satellites do. peaceful this may affect. launch your satellite violate international or even it's not quite correct certainly violating the united nations sanctions you know that really concerned way too there is a lot of tension around. and. only really come from john young young young years just to get married and got it back and he thanks. it's one of the big stories of the day we want you involved as ever to see what you think about it we're asking on our web site what you think the international community should do know to resolve north korea's rocket controversy and sit outside the conference the question is our poll how you think we should be dealt with most important in telling us. there you go the majority sixty percent just over sixty percent say the world should show goodwill by giving the north or south

already in orbit slightly tongue in cheek humor there for the majority of year a quarter of you suggesting turning a blind eye to all story seven percent say deploying anti-missile systems in the region is the best solution the rest of you just six percent is the minority calling for more sanctions against pyongyang tell us what you think you can cast your vote any time saving at r.t. dot com. still ahead a blow to the terms to curb iran's nuclear program as we are reporting is china now since a super tanker helped around transport its oil ahead of that planned european oil embargo we've got the latest on that developing story tonight also french politicians including president equal or so cozy are turning to far right rhetoric in recuse by slating muslims now ahead of next week's presidential ballot we've got a report on that one to. a u.n. observer teams on standby to enter syria to help monitor

a fragile cease fire there it's no waiting in approval resolution from security council is more important as more from new york. if the security council are dollops this resolution it essentially gives a 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 annan on a team of up to two hundred fifty people will eventually make it to syria mr anon through his spokesperson said that the ceasefire has been relatively respected and however syria has yet to comply with all the demands including opening of the humanitarian corridor words that was asked by this six point peace plan from the very beginning indorsed and supported mr anon plan to bring peace to syria

following thirteen months of violence russian ambassador to the u.n. for telly churkin did address the media saying that this is a time for the opposition groups will also try to gauge more in dialogue is crucial for the monitors to be on the ground to make sure that the new transgressions of the of the government the state of the ones that is going to be depicted that everybody must be framed from any any human provocation we're concerned of the possibility of provocations so instead of instead of thinking you know demonstrations position me those must finally formulate their attitude was political dialogue 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 claiming to charlotte government has used water cannons and tear gas to suppress those out on the streets those that

support the opposition but the assad government said they did not have permission to be out there in. we have to remember that the u.s. and its allies have previously said the bashar al assad has to be able to also pledged more support for the opposition group are inside the arabian 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 government to step aside. supported in new york there will be at least book a coal show skeptical that the opposition will be able to comply with the u.n. but peace plan there's a certain imbalance in there that is the opposition or the officially recognized opposition in the name of the s.n.c. the syrian national council doesn't actually control events on the ground nor does

it have a direct relationship with the free syrian army or the other groups that have the weapons so in agreeing in entering this agreement and agreeing to a kind of strict amount of arms or eliminated they don't actually have the means to effectively control diet on the ground however we've seen a noticeable decline in the violence but what he means really worrying is the fact that we've heard reports today of thousands of demonstrations coming out onto the streets that is the crucial aspect in taking back this syrian uprising to a more nonviolent peaceful those demonstrations should be allowed which would take away their legitimacy from anyone trying to use violence under those circumstances so what's really required is a sense of leadership from the kind of both the opposition and the government or either camp in syria the kind of have the vision to take syria forward but unfortunately just kind of treating this as

a set of violent confrontations that need to be present only stored for further trouble down the line. quick reminder to give a minute always had to our website r.t. dot com for all the very latest news a lot of stories that have time to show you on the t.v. side of things at r.t. and r.t. dot com tonight is still in this witch hunt one of our correspondents is tagged in a list of the country's enemies what's that about well you can find out as well so talon considers a threat to its security as well online. and dramatic pictures here mt etna rupturing again in sicily we've got this amazing video of europe's exact volcano online for you tonight at r.t. dot com. china said to help around the counter the e.u. all embargoed the shooter come into force in july beijing says it will now deliver the first of twelve huge crude carriers to iran next month to expand its tanker fleet as many firms refused to transport iranian oil because of western sanctions investment advisor patrick young spoke to me told me the embargo will harm the e.u.

more than iran. it's absolutely tragic for them because just the point in time work all of the other colors of their civilization are gradually being kicked because the fiscal permanent is a total disaster they find that the oil that they cut at very reasonable prices is suddenly going to have to go to market really it's all begin to try and sort of from somewhere else so it's one of these curious predicaments who are no one really wants to argue it won't be the politics of the affair got ultimately it's the european union's weakest nations that are actually in the direct line to suffer more than necessarily the really uncertain selves i mean clearly the e.u. has a series of different issues that it wants to bring forward and one of them is that the european union wants to play some kind of major foreign powers and the problem then is of course that sometimes you have to do things and foreign policy the 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 pain 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 tube whether it be the economy what are their feeling abysmal income or indeed international standards who are 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. going to be there but area with a much person mystery of the world's most famous whistle blower and his forthcoming show here on our t.v. it's funny happening next tuesday were furious his program premiers on this very travel of his laura swift caught up with him and got a sneak sneak peek of what what's waiting for you. the first episode of the show will be broadcast on shoes day april seventeenth so that this choose date coming

and we and you can 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 chew name yourselves to find that out on tuesday but i can tell you that they are all opinion formers some of them this isn't and some of them have never been interviewed before on english language television the first guest is particularly controversial and according to julian in the wake of the interview highly charismatic and find out what that's all about i met with him recently and i talked all about the show how he chased 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 as desk and he told me a bit about his disenchantment really with the mainstream media and why he chose r.t. to broadcast first this show the things that we've been trying to report. and accurately in the mainstream occurs when we. meet.

current gently or not this week coming up for the week in which the first show's going to be broadcast is really a week around a verse three for him both personal and professional it's going to be five hundred days since the investigation into these allegations of sexual assaults by the swedish women began now we've seen that at the request of his extradition go through the courts here in the u.k. right up to the supremes courts and that case finished at the beginning of february that's ten weeks ago now we still don't have a 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 phrase and so that has made funding for wiki leaks very difficult. and threatening that whistle blowing organization all together and really that's what makes this program so unique the fact that it was conceived of

store sold while sleeping under house arrest here in britain awaiting this verdict on his extradition there's two reasons first of all being on the house arrest of sort of it's nice to have an occasional visitor and to talk more about the world and the conversations we were having a quite interesting one of them for a lot of people what was going on but the second reason is that as someone who's given the one hundred four that's been on the receiving end of. this i felt like i wasn't getting much from writing. pretty quickly so it was. sort of principle for people to take a percentage of the context and i want to have a different sort of approach where the people. or the public has been difficult and sometimes i think you can sort succeed you don't look really sorry it's all very

interesting and important. because. if you know he's under house arrest. record for political problems the presence of so you can see the full version of that interview on monday the sixteenth of april and that will 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 as 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 thing has always been that he will be extradited from sweden to the u.s. . there hasn't been anything yet. it is to get the maximum the facts. before the source. tiriel you for hopes he's the reason we.

we want to present. something. we can promise you must watch t.v. if you want to follow the bill that as well and there get snippets of what's coming up in the programs over the coming weeks and follow on twitter you can follow on our you tube channel also at r.t. dot com. with the french set to choose the next president just over a week politicians are rushing to secure a last minute support of course growing immigration and fear of terrorism of being used by some kind of it's to sway voters with president sarkozy who seeking a second term among the front runners in the charge to the right are to test for a set of reports from perth anti immigration anti 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 buskers its radical islam is a direct consequence of mass immigration that the left and the right imposed on us for decades that is methanol. 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 marine le pen of the ultra right wing national front party is third with potentially ten million votes its biggest support base ever there is no potency of configuration france. so if you don't speak french. it doesn't bother anyone but. we don't want to play pinball and so we. have different communities. together. as a maid and. it's globalization destroyed inside and. enter lipans with her

calls for economic patriotism prioritizing france over europe its native citizens over others and 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. shift so we'll have to see israel like what it will do is. sarkozy knows pretty well as he was elected in two thousand and seven only because he was able to catch the vote as

a nation of farms and know 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 so. there is certainly a part of the electorate who vote for the reasons of dissent but i think it must now be recognised him if it's difficult to accept that the vote for the national front is increasingly a vote of support. increasing prominence of right wing rhetoric in france especially the lead up to the presidential elections is clear but what's more difficult to decipher is whether this grows support for the right reflects the direction the fashion cycle values has taken or is simply a kneejerk reaction to everything the french see wrong in their country just are so your r t paris. thousands of water in the streets of rome to protest the overhaul of the pension system in italy the demonstrators are saying that raising the retirement age will leave people of currently retired in limbo without a job or a pension political and economic analysts and xandra police he says it's the people

who end up paying for the mistakes of the finance use it tries to strike the right balance for what could be the i am a pain free markets requests but it is surely not in favor of the pensions people there are numbers which are given by the government which extruding only come to watch is the situation known by trade unions. so a technical problem with that let me think through some of the world news briefing tens of thousands of people protested in egypt to demand the ruling military junta there bans members of the ousted mubarak regime for running for presidency the demonstration was organized by the muslim brotherhood and other islamist groups after parliament voted for the measure it followed the surprise calendar see announcement of mubarak era vice president and intelligence chief almost silliman because a lot of the power has to be approved by the ruling military council which took

over from the top of the tate and last year. elsewhere around the world tonight in your briefing the prime minister of guinea bissau carlos gomez jr has been arrested by us soldiers in what looks like an apparent coup soldiers attacked his residence with heavy weapons seizing the premier in advance of a run off presidential election later this month which he was expected to win he's opposed by the army which also took control of key buildings in a radio station in that volatile nation of military spokesman though said it didn't want to take power but claimed the prime minister was planning to bring angolan troops into the country. the u.s. called for the media to end the escalating fighting between sudan and south sudan in the disputed border region it's after southern forces captured heglig a town responsible for half of saddam's old production the un wants forces from both sides to withdraw behind borders and for a presidential summit to be held between both countries to try to resolve the conflict the fighting along we all reach from here is now the worst said south

sudan became dependent last july. twenty four minutes past nine like this friday the think there's the beach you pointed out earlier on of not being superstitious and all that anyway the markets are in a sell mode why is that going to be tricky well that's basically on the latest batch of economic growth of from china which could mean that it's slowing down basically and could come to a hard landing so-called because g.d.p. figures show grow. a point one percent still the biggest growth levels of g.d.p. in the world but they're short of expectations of eight point four percent which was forecast therefore this is why markets are shrugging off you need notice states we are seeing the dow jones decline after some very good sessions of the previous previous sessions first day and wednesday the dow jones is down half a percent nasdaq even more than that one percent so wells fargo and j.p.

morgan chase have released their results and they are on i decline so. over in europe this is also coupled with worries about of course domestic problems solver in debts increasing costs and therefore the end of the actually closed friday session on a very very pessimistic note so with the dax neckline in two and a half percent on banks basically in russia it's all looking a bit different for out there's all week and the final picture for friday's session is a mixed one with my sakes even posting some gains which is a rare sight on this friday at least on the my sex we are seeing that financial stocks like burbank and d.t.b. are declining whereas gazprom at the same time is up one point three percent that's on the back of recent initiatives proposed by the government to sweeten arctic exploration and they are easing the tax burden so this will hopefully bring in five

hundred billion dollars according to. but might see much call from u.b.s. says although this is a generous offer it's still not good enough. listen think of these huge dearest but if you think this. production. really didn't think it well it's not enough if you. sixty percent of. clear. legal framework of course you know all of this experts. seem to think about this exploded you. know because there's so. much from u.b.s. meanwhile commodities are also on a decline with the light sweet in brant declining around half a dollar per barrel this is of course on

a strong dollar the second look at what's going on in currencies indeed the euro is declining massively as you can see there because of the sell off going on of course investors cashing out moving notably into the dollar and the russian ruble was accordingly weak against the dollar and strong versus the euro that's the way the markets look this is our cabin i'll be back in two hours time with more good stuff to make more money matters on the way in a few moments from the u.s. capitol in the list and she's here with a nice cabin look out myself the headlines had me kevin now in.

the close up she has been to the sverdlovsk region. where blacksmithing has developed from a craft into an industry. now on. he goes far north. of where attempts to build roads and rail are a battle against the elements where the culture is the only transport for medics to reach those in need. and where reindeer and fish are treasures for the people welcome to the autonomy area russia close up on our t.v. . there hasn't been anything yet on t.v. . it is to get the maximum physical impact.
