syria but we've seen here reprint in speeches warning the russians about the provision of attack helicopters we've seen the british send a ship back supposedly carrying a challenge but it was from from around the coast of britain back to back to russia and now we see this incursion into syrian airspace by by the turkish air force what this all adds up to is a syrian conflict which is now becoming a conflict between the major powers and that's more dangerous even the war in afghanistan or iraq where the major powers are more or less of an ally do the same side trouble with the distances it's not so much who was exactly to blame on one side or the other in this instance it's the political capital that we made out of it it is of course theoretically possible that what the turks were doing was probing syrian air space to see whether or not they would react in this way ahead of a more substantial intervention but i doubt it i think actually this is probably an

error but when international relations become this tense when the diplomatic atmosphere has been has been heightened to this degree such errors become part of a process upon a wider process which is more than accidental which is deliberate and that's the danger in a situation. where inside syria rebels have reportedly kept in a military base of ammunition in the northern province of aleppo the sixteen soldiers dead after the attack the conflict is estimated by the united nations to have killed more than ten thousand people since it began early last year among them have been a thousand children with autism if national reports now from the mask. this was the place for these kids boys and girls is at the playground that someone dressed them in a minute she uniform hung them with real guns tells them what to say and put in front of camera this little girl for maybe five years old when she's almost crying as

exhausted most of his legal options in the u.k. and going battle against extradition to sweden where he faces questioning if a sexual assault allegations and of course the fifth has always been that if extradited to sweden it would be very easy to extradite him across to the u.s. a country that still carries the death penalty for some of the crimes that they think he's to most of the chilean asuncion his supporters have always maintained that the case against him is politically motivated and i can pay him to silence not just asuncion self but also wiki leaks now despite having spent more than five hundred days detained without charge that hasn't stopped julian assange engine in the time he's posted an insidious show this been running on our table in a previous show we'd seen him interviewing the president of ecuador and they seemed to hit it off the president of ecuador telling julian a sound welcome to the club of the persecuted now in what will be his eleventh and

final interview airing tomorrow nazi julian a son to meet with the man that he despised as giants of the intellectual left renowned linguist and rebel think a name shall be and terry gilliam the street fighting novelist and military historian joining that interview they discussed the new ways of revolutionary movements we've seen taking place around the world in the past couple of years interestingly at one point they discuss south america with to recall even saying that the most dramatic and important developments of the past decade have happened in south america itself let's take a listen to what they have to say well i think that. over the last decade the most significant changes we've seen have comments from south america i mean i visited venezuela bolivia brazil and the mood is just different and many people say it's the first time ever we feel really independent i think this is going to be

a huge problem for the united states i mean they're obsessed with the arab oil doing china and now we room but in south america for good a bit more. the united states is not in. that very apt perhaps that for his final interview is to activists who themselves have been very involved in revolutionary movements because of course many people consider julian assange a revolutionary as well especially through the work that he's done with wiki leaks of course one of the big questions when he took this dramatic step seeking asylum in ecuador was why ecuador why had he chosen a country that itself comes under a large amount of criticism for its human rights record put a lot of people have been quick to point out is that the united kingdom there's always pitched itself as a strong defender of human rights and certainly in chile in a scientist case his supporters would say they haven't lived up to that they are

still very much a sense that they let down julian assange in this instance as we await the decision we see me ambassador and are open traveling to ecuador where she met with president correia of course giving the full briefing over julian assange just case before they make that all important decision. well still to come a matter of opinion we report on how some modern artworks have been ruffling more than a few feathers in russia marking furious protests. there more arrests have been made in israel as hundreds of protesters gathered outside the prime minister's residence in jerusalem demanding social reform it comes after demonstrations in television saturday but at least eighty five activists were taken into custody after clashes with police journalist and writer neary says the government is ignoring the people's demands. i think that the protests are needed but i think that what they learned from last year's protest is that the government

doesn't really care what the people think the government isn't really going to respond to anything to change the situation you know our electricity prices went out this winter. i mean to shockingly high are shocked to find bill. so i think i mean there's a need for a new strategy and i think what we might have seen last night was a manifestation of a new strategy i stumbled upon a meeting at the at the end of last year's protests but not even at the protests at the very very end when the city was going to come and dismantle you know the last times there on the show and i stumbled upon a meeting where someone who was sitting on the margin of the group. out it and it was kind of ignored by the people leading the meeting but he said we need violence you know violence will be the only way to change things i'm not sure that that's the correct answer i don't think things will change if they didn't change after last summer when you know hundreds of thousands went out if you could get maybe

a million or two million marching that could change things but i don't think that's going to happen. small world news in brief for you this hour visa north or to serve extradited the former libyan prime minister would be making him the first high ranking gadhafi political figure to be returned to his home country to face trial the sixty seven year old is now in custody facing charges of crimes against the libyan people is being seen setting a precedent for other countries being former members of the toppled gadhafi regime . at least one person has dollars and several more have been injured in the bomb attack on the ball in the kenyan city of mumbai the blast came just hours after warnings from both american and french embassies over possible terrorist attacks in the region kenyan police all reported last week to uncover the bomb making facility and arrested two. iranian citizens for questioning in connection to planned attacks in the movie. paraguayans ousted president has set up an

a modern art exhibition it's called icons and on display our works by contemporary artists made of plastic the last supper is depicted as a tense business meeting while a metal exhibit called trinity has also brought a hostile reaction it's a clash between old and new. items the display is an attempt to make sense of how traditional i can play doing has transformed in the modern world that invokes natural resentment among people who think conservatively. the exhibit in curator who was welcomed at the opening by being spat in the face claims the problem is people's ignorance has exhibited a contemporary artists language is often obscure but what differentiates an unsophisticated person from a peasant if the former doesn't understand what he wants to try and learn while an ignoramus simply deny everything however it isn't so much the show itself as the

personality of its curator that ignites protests across russia at most exit business he's involved in matter of gilman's name has been synonymous with scandal for you is it that you would this is the man who tries to sell as graffiti in public toilets as art. gilman's previous exhibit that included kissing a policeman a crucified jesus christ with a head replaced by the order of lenin and a photo of an orthodox i can being smashed with an axe have caused widespread outrage in russia that i have a degree in art and what he calls art is nothing of the sort it's an abomination and evil. plan to bring a cultural revolution to the central russian city of perm by carrying out a total make over shocked most locals more. used to traditional forms of art little headless red men dotted around the city and other innovations didn't go down well nor did the annual price tag of ninety million roubles or around three million

dollars of public money given their wants to spread what he sees as contemporary art into other promises but faces furious resistance to go put up a stop we're not against a center for contemporary art in a region but we don't need to go in here for that it would have prostitute the headmaster of a boarding school for young girls be sure within two years they would all become whores no matter the amount of protests and controversy in the end all of my arguments exhibit do open and attract derrius people what's interesting though is that gilman is not alone in promoting contemporary art in russia but no other exhibit other provoked such an emotive public response in all the six years nina worked at the moscow museum of modern art there wasn't a single scandal within its walls despite many product of exhibits by the artists breaking boundaries can certainly provoke an biggest reactions it can be to the benefit of modern art but also to its detriment. however change is in the even the

most conservative members of the church have learned by now what performance art is father alexey was the one who spared at night at gilman at the opening of the show in cross and are always the build order i came forward as a contemporary artist maybe amateurish but still an artist with experts in the field so my act of spitting fully falls under the definition of performance art derry bush gave up r.t. . we have it well that time to cross over to the business desk now natasha's there for us and a new oil price formula for calculating the russian budget we understand tell us about that absolutely one of the ideas to help ease russia's dependence on the oil revenues all the details in just a couple of minutes but. first let's take a look at what investors are anticipating this week and there is a lot to look at first on monday spain as a quest is expected to formally request. aid for its ailing banking

sector and on thursday investors will focus on the two day european union leaders summit to name just a few but now let's move on to where the action is a matter of course asia where equities actively trading this hour and as you can see they are mixed the nikkei is in the red while the hang seng is managing to stay above zero and. of course they cables also swinging back and forth that was actually in the positive territory earlier in the day but it's under pressure mainly because of the oil companies that are pushing the nikkei into the red and the wall street saw a bit of a rebound on friday this box there did quite well mainly thanks to the banking sector and that's after the european central bank said it would ease collateral requirements for the banks to secure central bank loans let's now move on to the

currency markets and as you can see at the moment the euro is shedding value yes the dollar and the currency the ruble was losing to both the euro and the dollar on friday we will bring you all the latest this in as the russian markets reopen in less than one hour's time and speaking of the russian equity markets let's see that the figures the closing figures from a last friday and there they are and as you can see the russian equity markets lost quite a bit of value the r.t.s. shed around two percent becoming one of the. one of the worst performing emerging markets on friday and let's move on to crude crude. is now actually gaining a value with the w t i's say above that the eighty dollar mark something crude is oversold others are concerned about the continued tensions in the middle east

and the upcoming hurricane season in the states but nonetheless as you can see crude is gaining on for russia that's always a good thing but of course a lot of it depends on the formula used to calculate well of revenues for the russian state budget and that's exactly what the cabinet is trying to reconsider at the moment if the new formula is adopted russia may actually cut spending and be able to save some. oil revenues into a win the cold fund not to mention the a long standing idea of developing non oil related sectors of the economy jim o'neill from goldman sachs things that's a good idea. this year is going to grow between four and five percent which is much higher than the need to develop country and if it carries on growing it will

contribute more to the world this decade than the whole of your put together i think it would be good for the. process one because the news just really needs to not be so dependent on the drug of rising oil prices you know russia's got lots of challenges. you know so does everybody else. and that's it for me this hour i'll be back with all the latest from the business desk in about fifteen minutes time. thank you. and stay with this latest special report in just a couple minutes but before that i'll be back with the headlines. there
