lines tune in to kaiser report on our. tonight mass killer anders breivik tries to defend his sanity to give credence to his murderous six tree mizzen fears that his anti islamic ideology has taken root elsewhere in europe as we report. a lie detector test clears a russian m.p. of the poisoning and murder of alexander litvinenko well before the security officers father hints he knows who the real killer is. could russia be joining the international anti a rainy and club r t's got an exclusive interview with moscow's top general on the alleged nuclear threat from terror. and syrian border security reportedly repelled qatari and saudi backed extremists trying to enter from iraq as the peace envoy strengthens calls for an expansion of the un monitors school.

hello and a very good evening for me kevin owen here in moscow it's eleven pm now this is r t our top story confessed mass murderer anders breivik as used wednesday's testimony to try and convince judges that he was sane when he killed seventy seven people last july the right wing extremist wants his ideology to be taken seriously rather than considered the ramblings of a madman but as artie's i have a bennett reports next to worry is that his message is already resonating elsewhere in europe. this is looted was considered the breeding ground of far right extremism in the u.k. so to a large muslim community and also to the english defense league who are now considered one of the most dangerous groups of the global counter jihad movement it started as a gang of football hooligans and in just three years its ranks have swelled to more

than seventy thousand. against what they call the threat of islam the same ideology inspired norwegian mass murderer anders behring breivik and now it's on the rise according to a report by a u.k. anti fascism group a worldwide counter jihad network has surged since predicts attacks with over one hundred far right groups in europe alone it names e.t.l. leader tommy robinson a key figure in that they just some far left organization again hate to say things that when we express how we feel we're called far right extremist so you say you are not far right well not for right now i'm not for any right none of my views. follow islam is for islam these it is responsible for a thousand nine hundred terrorist attacks of september eleventh there were about one in one man praise the deal in his manifesto calling them a blessing campaigners fear these views could inspire

a similar attack in britain if the government doesn't crack down soon matthew collins is a former far right fascist who's now switched sides we've being our government for two years specifically on the so you must. you must view the deal as we do the radical islamic groups the problem is that they inspire people they organize people they fill people's head up with nonsense there are people in the deal who actually do think they are some kind of religious crusaders often extremist groups can be the trigger for somebody to do something something quite unpleasant quite nasty britain is considered a hotbed of far right extremism with sixteen anti islamic groups operating here the report classes the british freedom party is one of them its chairman paul western it was another cited by brevik highlighting a blog that claimed the west is fighting a european civil war against islam i'm not saying go out and commit violence and

the most astonishing thing about this for me is it is the whole breivik thing has been picked up picked up on by the media with no documentary evidence of any so-called right wing movements saying go out there and shoot whereas when the islam it is clear that your blog posts act as an inspiration to him amongst other several of these are these are simply that they may well be an inspiration to but we cannot do you know we cannot say nothing simply because that might be some lone psychopath somewhere in europe groups like the british freedom party and the e.t.l. still aren't considered far right all extremists by the or thora sees the two recently joined forces and planned to run in the next round of local elections don't worry for anti fascist campaigners is that they could attract support either bennett's r.t. luton. and it's a clash of right and left too in the second vision of julian assange his interview

showing on our t.v. didn't catch it yes states trivalent a website if you'd like to watch it it's the programme has got the world talking. more news tonight syrian border guards have reportedly clashed with extremist fighters flowing from iraq but independent newspaper in syria suggest the armed group is funded by saudi arabia and qatar and includes mercenaries linked to civilian killings peace envoy kofi annan is calling me in time for a speedy deployment of further u.n. monitors to try and quell the violence can report for us. kofi annan has

expressed particular alarm at reports that government troops entered the syrian city of hama firing automatic weapons and said if confirmed the firing is unacceptable earlier the spokesman for the envoy said the syrian government is not fully complying with the plan which was generally supported by the international community in which the syrian government claims it remains committed to the plan stressed the need to withdraw army tanks from populated areas and according to the un envoy they have satellite images which show that the tanks are still on the ground and that is seen as a violation of the six point plan but in order to get a full picture of what's going on satellite images are not enough and kofi annan stressed the need to increase the number of international observers on the ground to one hundred by the end of the month because earlier the u.n. security council approved the deployment of three hundred un observers the fore front group if you want observers is already in syria and everyone agrees that the u.n. needs more eyes on the ground to make sure that all sides of the conflict are doing

their part because the plan addresses government forces as well as opposition forces and you do have people there who don't like supply and the opposition has not come up with a problem with functional whether they're going to engage in a dialogue with the government to work out a political solution to the crisis and that dialogue is also part of the plan as far as the u.s. washington says it supports the plan but at the same time they kind of expect it's failure here is what secretary of state hillary clinton said the u.s. is preparing for the potential failure of kofi annan plan to end the violence in syria and will take additional steps against the syrian government if it does russia on the other hand sees the end as planned as the only way to bring about peace in syria and the you want observer mission as crucial to verify whether everyone is committed to it just this tuesday the rebels blew up an army truck in damascus there have been several attacks around damascus in the same day all targeted at security forces several people were killed so you still have well armed

militia there who are of course no match to the syrian army but according to the plan they to have to abide by they to have to stop killing. can a correspondent in washington bolstering peacekeeping numbers may fail to make a difference in syria u.s. space political analyst ishmael how saying that they say that washington and its allies have no interest in ending the fighting on the one hand the western powers hello the boy the united states. we disappeared from the arab league and turkey their army training funding. and are sending mercenaries also into syria on the other hand they say we should have a cease fire under terrorists are dispersed among the population they haven't accepted a cease fire in fact not only the opposition the so-called opposition which are a bunch of terrorists. here's. the secretary of state hillary

clinton already talking about the postilion of the cease fire so this is altogether . devoid of logic it's totally proposed. coming out this hour on r t selective opposition tear gas rains down on bahrain's antigovernment protesters yet western governments keep quiet prompting accusations of selective support for arab uprisings as we point out and. irritating the dragon can china's patients hold out as america's military plays war games in its backyard got a report on that. but next a british lie detector test has concluded that the u.k.'s prime suspect in the poisoning and murder of a former security officer alexander litvinenko is innocent the test was passed by a russian m.p. under-rate lugovoy who's become the focus of a dispute souring relations for several years now between london and moscow which is refusing to extradite him to britain artie's laura smith reports. it was

a three hour procedure according to look up where he was asked a lot of wide variety of questions as one is in these situations they included did you do anything to lead to the death of alexander that we will have know did you in any way have a part in the death of alexander litvinenko again no have you ever had any dealings with polonium which was of course the radioactive substance polonium two hundred ten with which it was found that if again you know the british experts then analyze that data they found that it wasn't and in their professional opinion he's telling the truth now we spoke to a little bit earlier and he told us how this lie detector test came about and what it means to him let's hear that because i gave an interview to british journalist and they suggested that i should. first but i thought it was a joke but it wasn't the only condition i had was that the experts running the test

should not do. this way i want to avoid any bias and so they agreed if i didn't seem with the help of. the british would have been suspicious about the result of the insisted detention for the ministry by british it's only used those people who came to members of the ground association from your series over some of the people in british work as evidence of different course it's yet to be studied as a judge with a serious of the movie and we will invite these experts as witnesses. i don't expect any serious change but for me it was the moment of truth. and he's right of course this is unlikely to be a watershed moment if only because polygraph tests on it's currently accepted as standalone evidence by bush's course although their use is increasing all the time but certainly this is one step further. voice was towards proving his innocence and possibly one step further towards forcing the precious resources to find another

suspect in this case alexander litvinenko was for. father has come out and told r.t. that he knows that you got for didn't murder his son and he is in fact apologized for having ever accused him and he also says this is a key issue that he knows who did to do it during an interview that he gave to he actually called. on the telephone and personally apologized for having ever accused him and said he is very sorry that he had joined the ranks of those who said he did it should be used as a witness. he wrote important information on a tissue and he died because. my gesture the room was bugged he didn't want anybody to hear and what was on the tissue. he wrote to the mood was the rest. billion cooled as up with the u.k.

like the truth. if you will of the cooties objective. and russia. even move. that's just a tiny part of that report on our meeting with. you can see the whole report with more revelations later on on r.t. this week. reporting. more about this now across live to bruce burgess he is the polygraph specialist who carried out the lie detector test on the voice bruce thank you for taking the time we were this is very could have been a program a couple hours ago we spoke live on the show to the company the television company that commissioned you to do this test we heard from the gentleman then as we heard in that report the first of you did not know who the person was that your client was if you like there was going to be tested is that correct. that's correct i had no idea when i traveled to russia who i was going to be tested i knew it was

a serious case but i was completely in the dark until i met. on dr lugovoy under some sort of work this test last for three hours did they tell us about it why was it so long we have for the uninitiated what goes on in one of these tests yes the test lasted a long time while of course we had to use an interpreter throughout the test it was very important before i attached. to the polygraph that it was very reliable only understood how the polygraph work and work to knew what was going to happen to him it's not possible just to attack someone to a point graph and answer some questions serious questions that they're going to be test on whether they're lying or not the whole process. depends really on making sure that the subject knows exactly what's going on and one of the rules with polygraph is no surprises you ought. to be used to the questions and

be happy with the questions to answer the questions are not surprising with any questions so there is a long process before we actually attach anyone to apologise or all the time it comes to a point as often as not that long around fifteen twenty minutes but the process beforehand can take anything up to two and a half hours we don't have a lot of time for this chat there's a couple of things i want to ask you is there any chance do you think that a former security officer a russian former security officer this is what the skeptics in thinking could somehow maybe have fooled or hoodwinked your lie detector. no i do know i did question on a lot about how much you knew about the polygraph before the test and he was very honestly obviously. morris to be looked up about it was going to take a polygraph after all i do not believe that on a serious subject like that anyone can condition themselves not to react on

a point graph test nonetheless i mean again the skeptics are going to say i'm not saying it but the script is going to say that you know you're on one side this is the job you do you firmly believe in this technology there are skeptics scientists criminologists around the world that don't really believe in these polygraph tests they don't think they're a hundred percent accurate how do you can they criticism well of course nothing is one hundred percent cancer one hundred percent all i can tell you is what i give a result i am certain in my mind it's the right result if i'm not i don't give a result it's inconclusive i will never get through to the why deceptive or truthful unless i can stand by that result i mean this evidence isn't admissible in a british court you know would you stand by your guns if it was. i'm sorry i didn't hear this evidence isn't admissible in a british court it could be admissible it can go in as part of the evidence but not all of it but would you stand by your guns and the percent if this was to be

admissible in court. i would buy my guns one hundred percent and if it was admissible in court i would be very pleased to get caught or i bruce burgess polygraph specialist. lugovoy thanks ever so much for being on the program. but you're. more headlines tonight in bahrain there are no signs of violence dying down with police firing tear gas at protesters during yet more clashes in the capital manama and government demonstrations have been intensifying since the weekend with the world's eyes recourse on that formula one grand prix race but as the sports drivers where no foreign criticism of the regime seems to have gone whether or not is really good reports. for centuries it has been known as the pearl of the persian gulf but recent months have seen behind lose its luster. violence between the country's shia muslim majority population and the sunni

minority in government threatens not just to do real rain but since shock waves through other nations that are heavily invested in stability such as the united states. the dilemma the u.s. faces and bahrain is a tough one on the one hand washington feels at least obliged to say something about the continuing standoff between the protesters and the police on the other hand behind his home to the u.s. fifth fleet the largest american base in the oil rich gulf region just a stone's throw away from iran and to lose an ally as valuable as bahrain would be disastrous for washington. politicians wasted no time in jumping on the arab spring bandwagon with fiery condemnations of the regimes in countries like egypt and syria. suspiciously flies below the radar the bahraini regime is playing a very dangerous game now of course it's

a majority against its own government and seeing. sort of the end of days many people are expecting now of course there are huge arms deals with american british dealers that the bahraini government will be able to use against the protesters the american government lost no time to criticize russia's interest in syria but field to explain why it renewed its fifty three million dollars arms sales contract with green even a year after a bloody crackdown on protesters on the island one cannot deny the fact that this is very important for the interests of the united states that the king remains in power and that there is full of the by the king and his people to crush any any call that democratic called for example for the removal of the american bases of from this part of the world as any country any sovereign country would wouldn't want foreign bases on its territory when it's not necessary but wants to have

a foreign base of its shores for years the countries rulers feared iran which lead claim to the islands several times. the last being in one nine hundred seventy one having more than four thousand american military personnel on the ground may be viewed by the bahraini government as assurance from marina. but for some it's out of date and running out of time. the irony about the persian gulf dictatorships is they don't really need to be submissive at all they do have power energy power and the facts of these bush and gov dictators continue to be so subservient to washington and and even london displays what kind of colonial mentality must surround these arab dictatorships families being left alone to sort out a solution isn't easy but. they at least acknowledged transgression against their own civilians in the ugly scenes between protesters and police was that

a human rights violations and behind us but there were human rights violations in america there were human rights violations and the thing that are we saying is allowed no it's not allowed and that's why we are working. today. whichever direction bakri may be heading the west seems to be looking the other way no matter how high the cost for these islands people. go r.t. green. party dot com is our website and the place to be for analysis and updates on that story and many more to online now a very different kind of fashion victim is fury over these new t. shirts which are going on sale jewish groups say that disturbingly similar to the clothes which the nazis forced prisoners to wear during the holocaust show you've got a few but that story let's know what r.t. don't call them common in all the stories you see on our website plus the tempting looks of some ukrainian women it's now driven some dutch advertisers to try to

encourage women not to let their husbands go to your low twenty's twelve months gamble we've gone and that's that's not enough and well find out why at r c dot com making up to go along. for years at the top of russian politics. one last chance to quiz the president before he leaves the kremlin. journalists from across the spectrum go head to head with dmitri medvedev thursday from eight am g.m.t. on r.t. . the u.s. to the philippines have staged a joint military exercise storming an island in the south china sea near a marine area that's disputed with. america has been upping its armed presence in the asia pacific region lately despite growing protests from china and asia times correspondent pepe escobar told us he thinks that it's the latest attempt by washington to provoke beijing. it's

a concerted white house state department cia pentagon agenda and the agenda is confrontational militaristic they're not crazy enough to start a war in the south china sea what they want to do is to keep provoking china because the south china sea not only in terms of being a national strategic interest to china is a very important oil and gas tanker route so everything that includes the arabian sea the south china sea and the western pacific which china sees an. immediate area of influence and area of interest the u.s. navy is going to be there and they will be looking for trouble that's for sure there's always been a threat and russia is keeping an eye on it and quote said the country's chief of general staff when he was asked about iran and north korea the generals interview

to r.t. spotlight show drew much attention in the media saying moscow finally saw the danger of nuclear. talk barlow explains what was really said. the general's comments came in response to a question specifically about the possible you clear threat from countries including north korea and iran the general confirmed that that threat was a possibility but he didn't specifically focus on any one country but that has created rather a media for around that comment since with many media outlets repeating the quote the threat is always we have been closely monitoring the nuclear capabilities of many countries and they could do we are aware that many countries home they were admitted having a nuclear arsenal but they actually have one no doubt if nuclear weapons fall into the can and so extremists as what it will seriously compromise international security so we're open to consider any possible scenarios some reports are saying

that this is a new revelation that russia has finally opened its i use to the potential nuclear threat from iran others are saying that russia is well aware of potential nuclear threats and along has been from across the globe however it does feed into the continuing difficult and tense political dialogue surrounding iran's nuclear ambitions and also into u.s. nato plans for a missile defense shield in eastern europe and corresponding russian criticisms but that is being done without enough international cooperation you can see the full interview and all of the general's comments about missile defense tomorrow on r.t. . but the president is just a bit after twenty five minutes past eleven that live as catch up with katie there at the business desk now you've been guilty of business monitors all night i know you've been telling us about russia and italy sandra mantic but it's hard nosed business isn't the end of the day it is kevin it's serious business and serious money it's all about they signed

a deal with it and that's fine the deal with exxon last week now the two companies that work together in the oil rich fields of the arctic and the black sea son thomas has got the details. today's deal between any corporation and russia. vital partnership for oil exploration in the arctic region in the barents sea also a separate project in the black sea as well so what this does is it gives the any corporation thirty three percent about a third of the profits of the oil exploration has. access to technology as well as country projects in north africa europe and the united states as well little bit about the financials and he has already committed about two billion dollars to the oil exploration side of things but it's expected that around one hundred billion dollars is going to be needed to see the project through this is

a little bit different from the exxon mobil. about two hundred to three hundred billion and even more these are numbers that can always change now the head of and he said in a press conference that the saw made possible because of the easing of tax legislation put forward by prime minister vladimir putin about two weeks ago he also took a moment to take a little jab corporate competition exxon mobile this is what he had to say. this is will become possible thanks to suggestions for the changes in the russian fiske legislation which relates the speed at which you feel these changes are crucial for this going to work with today's deal is the last step for any to become russia's biggest in the production of energy resources. it is very important to point out that getting to this oil is incredibly difficult in fact in the exxon mobil deal is not expected to see any oil from that venture for about eight years and make sure that everything a went well well prime minister vladimir putin was on hand to make sure that

everything went smoothly. so let's see those prices now we're going to mix the viewpoint on your screens it just now and those prices are actually had a one week high and that's half of the federal policymakers that they expected growth rate celebrate gradually and count off additional as steps to boost the economy if we look at the bus markets and see how they closed up today and those oil prices were filtering through here at the r.t.s. hop ups and up on the my space and. see how the u.s. stocks are doing in the second part of the day over in the u.s. or the dow jones places that the nasdaq over two percent up and that's because of stocks like a whole rallying at nine and that's the markets kevin i'll bet some are right all right thanks for your up to date though i'll bring you the headlines of course very shortly here on our team from moscow.

culture is that so much of the taxpayers' money i mean i'm going to sit here and every real misery that is my heart to deny something more than is happening in french politics with president bush trying to close the fighting for his political life what is the future. good lumber a jury to mccurry was able to build the needs most sophisticated robot which runs the big leagues doesn't give a darn about anything to change mission to teach music relational why is.
