judges prosecutors and intelligence officials who london believes are involved in the death of the russian based lawyer so again magnitsky he worked for the london based company hermitage capital fund and he died in pretrial detention back in two thousand and nine in moscow now that he was jailed for tax evasion and awaiting detention his family say that he died because of repeated beatings and being refused medical care and now the investigation into the case in russia is still ongoing but it's had a big resonance very at home and abroad earlier the u.s. said that it had also banned around sixty russian officials from traveling to the u.s. speaking often magnitsky is death the van president dmitry medvedev he said that the people who are accused of economic crimes and tax crimes in particular they should not be put into pretrial detention and of course more severe says the

lawyers death is a big tragedy but they've called on other nations not to stage a political show regarding the matter and they've promised a tough response to any foreign sanctions that could be put in place over the case . with r t and we still have a whole lot more lined up for you in the program including a look at those coping with catastrophe. international sanctions cut syria off from the outside world depriving thousands of basic necessities of those who work in the country's agriculture sector which only for an end to war. daily anti-monarchy demonstrations wrought by thousand strong marches filled the streets with riot police all turning peaceful protests ugly. cambodia is considering whether to extradite one of the co-founders of the file sharing website pirate bay to sweden got freed wark was arrested by local police following

a request from sweden where he was sentenced to a year in jail for copyright offenses the founder of sweden's pirate party rick. says the arrest itself raises questions. the jury is still out on the one unfortunately there are conflicting reports on what really led to rest heard reports about a bar brawl being the run up to it with just local police interfering. a local disturbance reports the american ambassador being income at the time of his arrest and high level talks taking place. this morning as was mentioned reports surfaced the arrest was a result of swedish authorities for assistance from cambodia despite the lack of an extradition agreement the thing is you cannot enforce the copyright

monopolies and force of intellectual property we are at a crossroads where all of humanity can access the entire library of human culture and on the edge all the tools are already developed the cables are in place the technology has been rolled out we have to do is remove the ban on using it but as usual there are vested interests in doing things lists efficiently and be relieving people depriving people of this knowledge that frankly gain economically from it. still ahead for you later this hour the children's cartoon classics that may now only be suitable for adults a new age rating system for t.v. programs in russia draws up animated anger. they're known as blue on green attacks when u.s. trained afghan troops turn their weapons on nato soldiers the incidents have become

so frequent that the coalition has decided to halt the training of local forces until the proper screening of recruits is carried out robert naiman from just foreign policy says that nato commanders in afghanistan have brought the problem upon themselves. what's really striking about this is that nato officials are admitting that they've known for years that there are only varying procedures were not being followed. and that this is contributed to these killings spectacular mission. and the big question of why didn't make these changes before finally the problem grew to such a spectacular stage that they could no longer ignore but i think the attacks have groom because first of all they've been as they now admit any people to these forces without vetting and secondly because there are just

a greater proximity and third because there is greater stress both stress on the afghans will be police stress on the u.s. forces which helps them behave in ways that broke the afghan soldiers and police i think the deeper question is you know what can we learn from this about u.s. policy and the credibility of the generals were always told to defer to the generals the generals ever control until there are some spectacular episode that shows that they don't have a situation to be drawn what should we conclude from that about western in particular u.s. policy i think that is really where the focus of why should be and you know what are we going to do to change that policy which is so clearly spectacularly failed. don't forget to log on to our web site for the story and many more all at archie dot com here's what else you can find there right now. the right to shoot over the

right to drink discover the unusual items banned by the u.s. police head of the democratic national convention. and this supersonic jets pilot apparently almost confused a highway in russia with an airstrip roaring right over the heads of drivers. the new international peace envoy to syria has described his job as quote near impossible locked out of brahimi went on to say that not enough has been done to stop the violence both on the side of the government and the rebels and as the death toll rises so do the streams of refugees fleeing syria to join the hundreds of thousands who have already left the situation has become so dire that jordan and the u. when they have appealed for seven hundred million dollars to help provide care and support sanctions to make ordinary life difficult in syria with canada alone

ramping up its measures against a mass this ten times this year and as our town avoid to reports it's now up to syrian farmers to act as a last line of defense against a humanitarian catastrophe. reaping the harvest of economic isolation and a good one farmers across syria are is beezy as ever collecting the fruits of their labor decades of economic sanctions haven't taught syria to rely on no one but itself at least when it comes to agricultural production and there are no sour grapes about it now while the political pressure on syria is mounting this country is still fully able to feed its people. almost everything that adds up on syrian tables is growing here in the country south far from the clashes and this year is the usual drought. these fields are probably the government's best had against all sort of foreign pressure aiming to undermine its support base. syria has

experienced sanctions since the 1980's and it is told the country to be self-sufficient now agriculture is well structured and we have all the seeds fertilizers and water they haven't been damaged by the sanctions or by the ongoing clashes i can say that agriculture still remains among the sectors least affected by the clashes well this place still looks like a sanctuary of peace the actual war is heard here all too well seventy three year old jimmy says he understands the young who want their country to change what he can't accept is their means and what. people who are misled and hold weapons fight the government and destabilize the country are wrong i hope they'll calm down we all need peace to return to syria. polarized in so many levels the syrian conflict has also drawn the line between villagers and city dwellers as violence continues in urban areas people in the countryside are working hard to feed the two warring

parties attacking villagers out in rural areas isn't going to really help them in accomplishing their task which is to try to get assad out of out of power and so i think that's certainly not going to get the syrian people on their side so i think that the attacks are being concentrated in urban areas where they have the greatest chance to affect syria economically and potentially to strike at military targets in the aleppo clashes are still the order of the day but twenty kilometers west mohammad is trying to preserve one of his family's to be colonies the other in your homes is thought to have been destroyed they couldn't access it for more than six months. then they don't want to come into politics it's too dangerous now all i can say is they think using weapons was the biggest mistake. of them is laughable the syrian beekeepers are absolutely convinced that a beast as superior to all foreign species is that ability to withstand hardship

and the blight of their pastures and as clashes in the north continue taking that toll on the industry many here hope that there is the aliens of syrian peace will also be transferred today kippers it's not artsy syria. but the main focus on syria the mainstream media is not so all seems to keep messing what's happening in bahrain another arab state that's been engulfed by protests for over a year now dozens of anti-government protesters have been clashing with riot police west of the country's capital this comes days after thousands of people packed the main highway leading to my home are demanding reforms and release of political prisoners former lecturer at the university of colum covello thinks the country won't see any democratic change as long as its rulers remain shielded by washington . and the united states wants to retain attachment to control not only were

borrowing but over the persian gulf monarch them into our middle east in order to keep the crude oil flowing however they realize there would be increasing democratic opposition in all these countries that they could no longer rely on the dollars grow to dictators to maintain their control and this is particularly true in bahrain where the population three quarters of the population or out on the streets on a regular basis telling their government to leave so we are no longer in support of monarchy we don't respect you and we don't fear you anymore so what the u.s. is doing with president barack obama is to replace you sort of just but we started with the north african regime mubarak was. move in egypt we've had ben ali go we had khadafi go. the regime in yemen go and so now if

iraq obama is reelected and november sweeps of this year then he will complete head to monic transition leads regime. all right time now for a look at some other world news and brief now. ten turkish security officers have been killed after kurdish militants attacked police and military targets in the country south twenty militants are said to have died in the clash the kurdish insurgency house stepped up its attacks in turkey in recent months taking advantage of the ongoing civil war in syria. two hundred seventy south african miners previously blamed for the deaths of thirty four of their colleagues are being provisionally released by the authorities the deaths occurred in this standoff with police during a strike over working conditions security forces say they fired at the protesters after being attacked by a machete wielding workers the final charges will be made after

a presidential commission completes an inquiry into the incident. up to four people have been killed and at least nineteen did have to a car exploded near us consulate in pakistan the blast occurred in an area of the town of national war where several foreign organizations are based clued in the un no one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack anti-american sentiment runs rife in pakistan spurred by the outrage over civilian deaths in u.s. drone attacks and a recent reopening of nato supply routes through the country. and drive to make russian t.v. more child friendly is under fire the new law aims to clean up the country's early prime slot from scenes of an adult nature but critics say the legislation is so ambiguous that even cartoons might end up being hit by the ban. this could all for

ports. is one spirit in t.v. and. it's bad language go ahead and make it all right. created for an adult audience graphic and explicit content is often watched when children something which russian legislators have decided to try to put a stop to. people usually associate themselves with fictional characters they see on t.v. and if adults can understand and analyze that put children the characters both positive and negative are models which they absorb and take with. the new forces t.v. radio and online media to market the programs that are showing by for each cannabinoids ranging from six to eighteen moreover programs depicting things like sex violence to drugs and so on can now only be shown after eleven pm and you am there's just one problem just sort of that there is

a paragraph in this which is supposed to explain which content of this that will lie still and we should doesn't like for example information of cultural and historic value but stipulation is written so loosely nobody understands exactly what's cultural value and what sort of information is of such value just. the law doesn't give a list of films which are of special value potentially even the classics and soviet cinema and animation have banned for children like one theme a series of cartoons where the wolf sometimes smokes tobacco. gets absurd the soviet cartoons were used to make her not only humane they're interesting children in a positive kind way and smoking is merely a quibble it's up to media outlets to do sign for themselves which programs can be shown when and what age waiting to give them but an official commission will be tasked with ruling on any breaches of the guidelines the penalties include

a fine of up to six thousand us dollars and even the possibility of the suspension of the stations broadcasting license for three months many people agree on. of this kind was necessary however there are those the current law is workable so that could actually confuse both the viewers and the media while others believe if it is possible to police the media it's much more difficult to police the children often find a way to watch whatever they want any way you want pursuit of moscow for media money matters now marina is joining us now to give us the latest business update what do you have for us this hour marina hi carol well i'm talking about russia's membership in the world trade organization of course well know that there are many fears about some local companies not being able to survive but we spoke to the head of the second largest bank in the country that sweetie b. and the man we spoke to wasn't very costly and he said that this might actually be a good thing for the country's lenders let's take

a listen. financial crisis in america europe let the situation when we have actually have the weakening of the international competition in garage and as you see the russian banks start to be more active in other parts of the world in europe in asia so i think that's a good time for russian banks to expand and that's what we're. doing. well let's continue with the global markets and see what's happening in europe which is still trading right now coming into the end of the trading session we have the footsie and the bags both adding the footsie are over half a percent not all of us is despite the fact that we had some data that showed that basically manufacturing in the euro zone the strong by more than anticipated for the month of august having said as i said mining firms are doing particularly well there and it would take a look at currencies was that the euro still flat against the u.s. dollar when it comes to the russian ruble it's losing against both major currencies i mentioned the ruble so might as well take a look at the russian markets not the spine it's something in the oil price we see

that russia investors are taking this all very well both the r.t.s. and the my six this hour again and over one percent but mainly investors here are focusing on the asia pacific corp summit that's taking place in russia's for east and i want to talk more about that because russia is a unique a bridge like position between europe and asia could help global companies are in the region now ahead of the summit we spoke to one of the biggest industrial holdings in the country that sumo group and the company explain why believes there is so much potential in the region. chairing apec russia demonstrated that it is capable of using its soft power for our initiatives in regional integration transportation food security and innovation growth been supported by all other business council members but with russia will only be able to fully capitalize on its role of a geographical a bridge between europe and asia if it improves its own infrastructure and

regulations at the moment of less than one percent of all trade volumes between those two parts of the world transported by russian territory it's literally nothing but the projects we are offering to develop will enable russia to increase the volume of transit through its territory by up to five percent of. how will your company culture be out in the development of business in the region we want to both of which we started to large scale asia oriented projects in the far east we are building coal and grain terminals we think that after last year's tsunami in japan demand for russian coal will rise as it will be just as l. and g. substituting for nuclear power stations going out of service as for the grain terminal well russia has enough grain to increase its exports from the current twenty five million tons to forty however in russia's far east existing infrastructure allowed to export seventy thousand tons last year and we will be

able to export over one hundred times more than. one of the main problems that russia has over in the order to be able to capitalize on its unique like case in the original order. which is to make russia more attractive for international cargo flows what we need to solve the problem of insufficient railway access to ports that keep the cargo idle on the tracks for days before it gets on board a ship customs regulations are another issue it takes almost two weeks for a container to get customs clearance almost the same amount of time as. it takes to transport it from blood will start to moscow once we improve services and customs procedures and crushes a tentative cargo such as the chance siberian rel way and the north sea route will become attractive for international businesses. and also from the business as the station for the headlines.

the. machine would be soo much brighter than if you knew me by sun moon from phones to pressure these. stunts on t.v. don't comb.

response training of some afghan security personnel after a surge in insider attacks on coalition forces that as nato admits it's failed to conduct their own background checks on local recruits. as they turn it around all arcs are mall sq the third holiest site in islam continues to build r.t. talks to dr shaikh sabri former guard mostly of jerusalem and palestine who thinks that the israeli government is deliberately targeting a sacred site. with me i have share. say thank you very much for joining us here on r.t. israel allows was limbs to make program to mecca but on the other hand it for birds men under the age of forty from entering the mosque during ramadan to pray on fridays how do you explain this contradiction. the. this contradiction is due

to the fact that they let our brothers who live in the areas. carry out the harsh susie's their legal right there also is some political benefits to be gained from the demonstrating that there is freedom of religion. as for the. rules of the strictest since it's all new territory for love it was situated somewhere else no such measures will be taken yet now the focus is on. the occupation authorities on criticized only for that the most of their actions deserve criticism you have said that jewish authorities are trying to sensitize was them sensitivities to access why do you say this. hell israeli or cubans are trying to make it seem like the al aqsa mosque is not really that important they say that muslims have the holy cities of mecca and medina so they don't need to rush limbaugh and they also want to weaken the link between muslims and palestine since i lack so

connects one point five billion muslims to jerusalem and palestine this link is made of belief and faith they think that if they weaken that link loosely and are going to lose interest in our own reality though who are the muslims that don't live in afghanistan and who are mostly there is they know is in danger as are their beliefs and so whatever the occupants do to diminish alex's significance was bound to fail at fashion you have also said that if the israeli government and fanatical jewish groups since a weak muslim reaction they see this as a green light to move forward so what in fact should muslims do now sadly muslim countries are now more concerned with their domestic issues neglecting the issue of imax or in jerusalem and allowing israeli or keep insta carry out their plans and they have quite a few of those including the jewish organization of jerusalem and taking control over. there making the most of the numerous domestic problems that the arab and

muslim countries are busy addressing right now so they can carry out their plans without any resistance. why do you believe that you are the muslim worlds first line of defense against israeli and jewish ambitions in jerusalem. the thing is jerusalem is isolated from other palestinian territories palestinians from the west bank and gaza strip are not allowed to enter the city not that the only people who can get into the palestinians who live in the areas occupied in one hundred forty eight that they can do that because they live there so it's only the people who live in jerusalem in the areas that i mentioned you can come to iraq. these are the people who protected coordinate action to preserve it so if these people stop going to iraq well there will be no one left to protect it that we are grateful to them for what they do their leisure that asks what do you think about israeli claims that the wall and checkpoints are there for security reasons.

at israel's claim that the wall was built for security reasons have nothing to do the reality this is not true because they do not observe the nine hundred sixty seven borders about it they have occupied a lot of palestinian territory in addition to those that were seized in nineteen forty eight and secondly making all people feel like prisoners is not the way to solve security issues the way to do that is to ensure security of all people as well as grant them full human rights a way that would be a fair approach to a wall is not a solution. over the years have the israelis changed their treatment of palestinians wanted to come and pray at al aqsa mosque. balmoral plenty and the occupation regime treats palestinians in a way which is far from humane they are cruel oppressive they don't have mercy for this one issue that's not reported in the media i'm talking about palestinian women who have don't always get a chance to give one earth in hospital. not ambulances at checkpoints and sometimes

because of these delays ambulances cannot get to the women in labor on time as a result they cannot give birth at a medical facility sometimes the baby dies and even the mother herself can bleed to death and we have very disturbed over three hundred cases of human behavior on the part of israel and the florida keys up associate that i have met with a number of delegations are american scholars and i asked them if they have ever heard of this and they all said no the western zionist media do not report these cases and i the only one is that these checkpoints are set up to inflict more suffering to kill unborn babies whose mothers to give birth on the way to hospital them. how far has the israeli digging and our oxen mask on and how much of a problem is that to the structure of the building i have for the. head for the. extensive they're digging in two directions from sioux one going south.
