voices of concern over civil violence scream out in bahrain as loud as the formula one cars do to raise around the track but they are still left in the herd by those weak to butt into the areas of libya and syria. the i.m.f. moves to quarantine a flammable euro zone from the global economy and leave you politicians count some popular anti-union sentiments. and the way out of china's arctic ambitions as a country keeps knocking on the doors of the nations who already have access to the energy to reach. the starting coming to live from moscow i'm marina joshua into the program how the

roar of formula one engines will be heard in bahrain as we can despite the gulf states still shaking under civil unrest anti regime activists have pledged to boycott the event and step up their protests while two members of the force india team how ready fled the state after they were caught up in clashes on their way back from the track. an hour before it's unlikely to be against syria as this uprising is surprisingly off the radar. it took a car fire ahead of a major sporting event for the world to notice the flames of discord engulfing a small island nation in the persian gulf but green is suffocating in the smoke of an ongoing struggle between protesters and police the most recent have been happening in a hurry for more than a year now producer say this is the longest lasting revolt in the arab spring but so far the only result from them has been an increase in violence on all sides scenes from the capital bear more than

a passing similarity to the pictures out of the embattled syrian city of homs but the two cities enjoyed a very different level of attention symbolization only media stayed surprisingly silent considering their stance on other middle eastern revolutions they were all but silent when the bahraini revolution was crushed last year they are all but silent about the human rights abuses in bahrain itself and formula one races just focus the attention on that society and when the media does turn to her they seem to do more harm than good foreign media has been covering the also as you always use the framework of process because. they don't understand that this actually helps the governments to see what they're doing and the whole free syria such as the opposition says hundreds have been wounded and standoffs with police and many sacked from their jobs or arrested for taking part in mass protests but

unlike in syria and libya no one has called for foreign intervention. problems before the international human rights council european and south american countries were enthusiastic about exploring this issue but the us prefer to leave it to the independent commission created here where the government did bring back several medieval bahraini human rights defenders who are in exile one formula one speed out of town much of the media and the world's attention is likely to follow in bahrain it even goes. they didn't mention in syria may be on the horizon with turkey planning to plead for the alliance to support and a country has seen clashes between us and our me on the rebels recently spilling over the border into its territory. was revealed by the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton it was speaking in paris after a ministerial gathering of the pro opposition countries kill so called on a global arms embargo and tougher of financial sanctions against

a mascot if it fails to abide by a cease fire but pentagon is also said it's ready to carry out military action in syria need it while the u.n. assigned a motion a with a government on the terms of the international bodies monitoring group under the agreement the observers had a freedom to go anywhere in the country they were based researcher sarah morris success the importance of their mission cannot be underlined in elf. this is an incredibly significant especially when we consider a lot of the other regional neighbors of syria behaving very poorly and provoking violent conflict in syria and suggesting that they want to arm the rebels and continue and actually increase the level of violence that's happening in syria so we have this region that's actually instigating violence and we have the so-called friends of syria of western powers really who will no influence over syria and have very little to say or do because they they don't have any relationships they don't

have any information that will provide any help to the people of syria to solve this crisis so with those two efforts happening you know between the arab league and the friends of syria it's actually very refreshing to have a u.n. observer mission because it's talking to everybody people are taking it seriously and so this is very promising indeed to see these developments and it's not a solution and that's going to solve everything in one day for example and it will take many different compromises and steps but with patience i think that this is certainly the best and most promising development that we've seen in a long time and so we can see you know program old hatred dies hard city and firstly the plan itself to step back to the brink of war as the service well of violent border disputes iraq into fully fledged fighting also. these train tracks one of the few successful parts of the project to try to bring

transports of the russians but further down the line the project failed having cost clones of lives thinking for more discoveries in russia coming up. now protecting the world from europe that's the latest task sat for itself by the i.m.f. with plans to direct a four hundred billion dollar a financial wall around the block its insanity prevented the euro crisis from spreading further the serious threat to the global economic recovery why don't you want those financial woes or reshaping the political landscape we report of france were today's the last day of campaigning before presidential elections on sunday. it hasn't been the perfect marriage but they agreed where it mattered most of the time. tandem seen as key in the e.u. decision making. but france's relationships with berlin and brussels have hit a rough patch the french election if you look at the campaign in france i think

because on the right side there is mrs lippett which is the plan wants to reintroduce of the french franc the french currency christmas all along once during negotiations to the of the treaty on the fiscal compact incumbent nicolas sarkozy is no exception pledging to freeze france's e.u. funding and bringing back border controls over in the left corner. who roundly rejects europe's budget belt tightening pact people are uneasy with the fact that they or contributing to the failed policies in other parts of you then people don't really understand why is it that there's more and more legislation coming from the european level in member states have to adjust it for the mostly pro europe french public it's about jobs and social security just as brussels and berlin are one tough cutbacks. and that doesn't rest easy with voters who gave a resounding no to giving the e.u.

machine even more power seven years ago even though it's been a perfect tool to offload questionable policies. criticizing europe can be a convenient scapegoat because it appeals to people who do not like the functioning of europe and it can divert responsibility if something goes wrong it's not a case of the government or nicolas sarkozy it's the fault of europe it's easy to lay into this place where e.u. plans are half a billion spent a farthing before that's really gotten under the skin of french voters is quite another what's more these promises of all the heard before regardless of who gets. what everything really changed between paris and brussels. the big question is now europe for what europe for hoover is it europe for the banker of europe for trade europe for. business oh he's it a europe of cities or a europe of social rights and the rest of the continents watching too knowing that

whoever its next partner is a honeymoon phase is out of the question just are still here archie brussels. the ambassador result plan however needs eighty billion dollars more and the bank is relying on the fast growing breaks countries to make up the shortfall russia has pledged ten billion dollars but along with the rest of the emerging economies once a greater say in how it spans meeting today in washington finance ministers from a group of twenty of us realise nations will focus on their funding brazil russia china india and south africa are expected to come up with eighty billion for a bigger sway over the international monetary fund the i.m.f. president christine lagarde was optimistic that a compromise will be reached by the commons and other planning that's vizor patrick young doesn't have much faith above will help save the eurozone. this is absolutely a cataclysm for the euro zone there is no way no matter how hard large the sea of

cards are no matter how big the bazooka is that the i.m.f. is currently assembling and nobody can afford to pay for italian government debt it is simply impossible we are pushing nations on the mediterranean fringe all of europe into if we expect that they're going to stay in the euro zone it's a tragic development for government the option is quite clear and they need to say we cannot pay our debts we cannot survive in the euro zone and we need to leave him in the case of greece the need to establish a new truck much because otherwise the euro was not going to continue and frankly western europe is going to just become completely and utterly in the new dynamics of the global economy. asperity cards across the eurozone are fanning the flames of protest while literally in some cases energy we report on one of time museums that started burning a collection of masterpieces driven to the edge by critical. but. was

take on those extremists so yes we accept them going through this is that you see a minority of all i'm saying is that there is a minority of people who want to show you the minority there's a minority of people who exist within the muslim community who are extremists who don't believe in the democratic values we don't believe in previous full coexistence but what we do is tanisha whole fleet system whole communities based on . a small number of minority extremists that exist in old age you know i'm reading what is it rachel i'm going to raise when i go france i am careful i'm sorry buddy rachel go ahead. isn't that exactly what we're trying to do with breivik right now is to paint all the right wing people who have moderate points of view about immigration and cultural integration with the same brush saying that this kind of rhetoric is responsible for his actions the. un secretary-general ban ki moon has blasted south sudan for its military incursion

and seizure of an old oil field from sudan he called it a career really illegal act and urged both sides to cease hostilities as the two nations and closer to outright war or blame for which some say could be put squarely at the feet of those behind the separation of the two states the issue that everyone sees is oil and the border demarcation of but my understanding there were many years or following this is that the separation of the two countries was absolutely unnecessary and wrong and the obsessive nature of the united states led by the u.s. ambassador susan rice and the british the europeans to have this separation without settling any of these issues has actually made to situation worse now you have south sudan which is believed to have full backing of the united states and they took over we aggressive action as i was leaving the country last thursday and they

invaded a town inside sudan is that the oil production center and therefore that precipitated the escalation that they violate the sovereignty and they would not have done that if they didn't seem to have support from the united states and britain and others. all right now it's a back in check now what the r.t. closer team has in store for us this time round. well today town barber reports from the area where the crushing coal has for decades taught authorities that building a permanent transport infrastructure there is a mission impossible but the temptation of an enormous oil and gas reserves the arctic land has to offer a means no one's allowed to give up. making tracks through the tundra part

of this region's name means in the local language the end of the earth and for centuries it's to fight all attempts at permanent access. in central parts of russia if you want to go somewhere you just get in a car and go but here it's impossible you have to wait for the river can fool or take a plane it's very difficult when you are separated from the rest of the country the surface is a clustered by blizzards in winter and melts into swamps in summer supports for bridges have to be driven dozens of meters deep and the roots foundations packed down repeatedly to stop it collapsing back into the tundra this joint project is an attempt to bring transport to the land but the end of the earth but it's not the first time the previous attempts of less shadow over the whole region started in one nine hundred forty nine tens of thousands of prisoners toiled in summer heat

and cold and stalin's dream of the trams paula railway line conditions were brutal and thousands were worked and starved to death or shot by their captors that. they keep people away for refusing to work we're seeing even a couple of words about stalin they gave us our prisoners and sent us here to watch over them building this railway had we refused he would have shot us as well in one thousand. fifty three the project was abandoned built without any proper heavy equipment the unfinished track and embankments quickly subsided back into the trondra all that's left are a few bridges rotting barret buildings and the long shadow of this corner. this bridge is part of stalin's infamous road of death but since this project and so many others have failed to put permanent roads here in the russian arctic some of the only people to see these historical monuments are teams of off road drivers

have gary and his companions try to penetrate some of the furthest reaches of this vast tundra landscape they've seen abandoned villages pola mountain peaks and even a settlement that had never been reached by wheeled vehicles before in their good works you arrive in this area you begin to see the world in a very different way these places are damned with enormous gas and oil reserves discovered in the far north the commitment has been made to put huge money and resources towards road and rail building this time but there's a lot of work ahead before russia's arctic yields any of its vast isolation to martin. all right time to get the latest on the world of business katie is there manning the desk today located a chance for an hour trans on the stock market well that is the million dollar question isn't it about i mean right now when all of our trade was still in the red

for the russian markets to put me off today and get three guys so if i'm an optimist i'd say absolutely friday's do typically tend to be seen on the ground as terms of. reaction what's happening with investors they tend to start their weekends rather early so that we. am i safe where is hall five percent down let's crack on and have a look at the starts and see who's really losing at this hour as we can see it will start right around the heart of percent down the biggest lanza here in russia where this foluke old house at least in the last hour still three quarters of a percent down and ten k. as well is really suffering they're extending their previous losses also pointing almost five percent on the day on news the government is suing the company for hundreds of bills in the west side berio as far as the russian economy is concerned is still lacking behind fellow bric countries in terms of investment attractiveness now bob before midnight. release called for those who get

a boost once the makeup of the new government is announced in my. if we look at the current location or how the bric allocation works for many investors it's predominantly china with thirty percent and then the rest is divided into which has almost thirty percent of our case and whilst india and russia make up fourteen each however of this fourteen percent of the russian allocation is by no means allocated to the full year of an emerging market before yet as investors have been holding off in view of the elections in view of hoping to learn more of the following reform program so there's much catching up to do whereas we've learned from from the investors and we believe. that we will see the reform program of which were very competent of post gratian we will see the return of many of the long term investors also to the russian market. and sticking with the russian news russia's

second biggest mobile operator megaphone cutlass also in london as early as july now according to media reports the company plans to raise up to full billion dollars it would be the biggest listing on the london stock exchange in a year. and the russian ruble see how it's performing at this hour and it is indeed it's caving against the u.s. dollar. as we look at the euro it's although we can see that it's actually gaining ever so slightly talking about europe this sorry much to say this week there's been some massive news events i can't talk about your without mentioning the spanish bansal that we have now the government did manage to sell more than their target amount of bonds and check out the on the dax now there was rumors of possible downgrade school france and that was weighing on investor sentiment as we see the put on the back all managing its again now news releases today the german business confidence report coming out i must say is not she expected to live after the first

time in six months in april's with me steve. now investors remain optimistic and asia then at the end of the trading day they were really suffering off to the bad news coming out of the european regions yesterday. a group of twenty nations were saying it's still a major concern on the sovereign debt crisis that remains on the forefront of investors' minds about the next. lost over a quarter of the heinz than just managing. prices they are gaining at this hour it's also president barack obama is that to introduce new laws for investors on the twenty third of april to really counter out the short term gain that he really wants to try and challenge saying that it's all about manipulation in the markets ok that's how the markets that for now at least a year russia is always trading still plenty to talk about other talk about fifteen minutes all right katie thanks very much indeed for this and coming up next here in
