a rush over the past twenty years usaid has spent two point six billion dollars on operations just a million just this year alone one of the organizations which usaid is known to have been funding is going to zation coal to bolus or a voice in russian and among the multitude of things that the organization the ngo is doing it's also been acting as an observer during the elections and has gotten it up in hot water with the various state duma deputies who were questioning its motives and its operations now both usaid and n.g.o.s called polish that will be affected by a law which has come into effect in russia this so-called foreign agents laws pacifically states that a new organization which is actively participating in the political life in russia should be subject to thorough investigation when it is being sponsored to a with of money from abroad now a law like this exists in a lot of other countries in europe for example or in the united states now of

right now to pass the hour here in the russian capital top earners in france are thinking of making a run for it should a new seventy five percent income tax limit for the super rich be agreed upon the idea was met with a warm public response but the most successful entrepreneurs may desert the country just when the slowing economy needs them the most syria as the story. when the world's fourth richest men a frenchman bernard i know asked for belgian citizenship some of his compatriots took offense with one left wing french newspaper publishing this image with this headline the mayor of this area of the brussels capital region has confirmed that bernardo has indeed establish residence here at the french tycoon denies his move had anything to do with french president francois laws one to impose a seventy five percent income tax on those earning above one million but many suspect otherwise and the rich have become the subject of much discussion. they are
9:12 am
quite responsible for this crisis they should pay more than the rest since they have more. is the people who are responsible for the crisis. so the politic of it depends on the rich bankers who contributed to the crisis should pay as well. along to set to soak the rich even more as he struggles to raise the money to fill a thirty billion euro hole in the country's finances the tactic of use to our own doings appreciate election against president sarkozy was to say that suckers he was a president of the rich friends of yours the income tax rates going up but on top of that where stocks and then on top of that you have estate tax. and on top top top of that we have the seventy four percent tax that's where really thinking about moving outside friends started but the move did go down well with everyone including some french taxpayers who fear having to foot the bill if the tax the
9:13 am
rich strategy fails all their fears are well founded as businesspeople consider losing three quarters of their income across there simply unable to bear like thirty year old entrepreneurship need to fetch he hasn't made the jump just yet but he says he may find himself with no choice is clearly that the course. it that's that's that's found. that's found a haven in france. which which basically promotes stigmatize a sheen of success wealth ambition and so on and france is definitely worth its taxes to a certain extent but if the don't work in my head anymore certainly or create more value than for others then that i do for myself with the implementation of those seventy five percent and so on clearly i will relocate as an individual and
9:14 am
become a tax it is an a for another country like belgium for example but belgians of already taken to the streets to protest against what they call a lack of morality of the rich who come to their country to avoid a certain taxes in france this case this super tax may affect as little as three thousand people out of sixty six million and if that elite minority continues heading for the door the deficit hole will only grow and a lot it may be forced to embrace the one policy he rejected throughout his election campaign stared. tests are still here r t brussels. well austerity may become the only option for the french president with his cabinet set to approve an e.u. pact which enforces financial discipline the agreement dates back to nicolas sarkozy threatens countries failing to slash the deficit with legal action and finds political and economic analyst. says the undemocratic nature of the pact undermines it. with the. e.u.
9:15 am
fiscal pact and with the police here of the e.c.b. the typical diverter cannot give ease opinion in the better books because you know there is no election there is no we don't ask for their opinion which is going to happen you know the police here of the e.c.b. is are we are going to fire the big one print more money in order to buy more time for bankrupt countries to deliver some structural reforms guess what they are never going to deliver the structural reforms precisely because they will have more time and therefore to sacrifice democracy in order to save the euro is just going to sacrifice the euro and democracy in the end. and as a lead for you this hour here on our tokyo goes all in japan to news to rock the boat in a territorial dispute with china putting billions of dollars from its economy on the line. another tough break for julian assange after
9:16 am
reports that britain and ecuador have hit an impasse in talks servers asylum. consoling there was a blow at the results of a recent d.n.a. test which appeared to well quite heavily undermine a critical piece of evidence against him in sweden. firth as this. it's been three months now since julian a song's arrived at the ecuadorian embassy in london will since then granted wiki leaks founder asylum the person have eased to grant him safe passage saying that the arrested reach of his bell conditions if he steps out there you fools will then be nineteen these remain behind these tools and as is the reach of the british police but the stalemate situation continues the full one year old arrived at the way to the seeking asylum he did all his legal appeals. in britain now
9:17 am
he's fighting his extradition to sweden where he faces pushing the sexual so allegations that cases including to question me when evidence to the present it to the prosecution in we didn't want to be thinking clichéd rich fond of being handed a the boy i want to see in the phone he. found a number of friends that. have any d.n.a. evidence linking it to genius also there was no conclusive evidence to the man himself had ever worn the phone go to the case then healy in a legal sea has maintained since the very beginning that this was the wider case again and again wiki leaks in his work with wiki leaks the whistleblowing was the fool having relief he she amount. the us and he.
9:18 am
will hear in verses in an foreign secretary william hague. with that to do with the fate of chilean song remained in safe. and the wiki leaks found his feet still seems extremely uncertain sir arthur c. london and you can follow it julian a soldier's plight in detail on our website are two dot com he. what else we've got are lined up for you there at this hour on the recent anniversary of the nine eleven attacks u.s. lawmakers speeches were all about unity and it remembrance go online to find out how well congress is really remembering those who led the rescue efforts. by the cyber battle rages on web security researchers say the world is under attack from a whole series of brand new computer super viruses and this in the wake of all that hit iran in two thousand and ten. are turning our attention now to syria militaristic sentiment is growing stronger in the u.k.
9:19 am
as the country's foreign secretary william hague said it's quite possible london will send arms to the rebels to find out what this might lead to and are joined live by amara walker five member of the syrian a social club good to see you today the u.k. already announcing it's opposing the peace plan suggested by the official u.n. and arab league envoy to syria lakhdar brahimi why would they do that. well they seem to be losing a little bit in a sense that they've tried a lot of what they could do and this didn't lead to their objective being fulfilled which is the you know ousting of the syrian government on president assad to be more specific. this is the syrian government is strong on the ground every bit of effort has only to move look trade and destruction so they don't want. street. to the loss in which by which any plan by which the prison.
9:20 am
probably a new political system is going to take shape in syria one one one might imagine that if indeed the u.k. does go ahead and start arming the rebels here then it is quite possible that other countries supporting assad could start helping him for example iran. well the point of the matter is that i think i think mr hague if he. really thinks that all if britain really think that the army or undermining the government in damascus is going to lead more syrians to join the uprising and they have been totally and certainly ill advised. i think the they should they should know that they're heading the wrong way that they should probably listen more carefully he should listen more carefully to his russian counterparts when he meets the next week and loosen up their proactive approach in their constructive approach in bringing people to the table mediating offering guarantees the result of which is going to be a conference on sunday for the syrian opposition for the first time in damascus in
9:21 am
a series conference as it looks and and they should you know that sort of constructive and positive approach is what a syrian citizen would want an international community member to go to the police also to the international community many of them involve a certainly from the u.n. side of things have been getting involved whether outspoken or not saying their support for the rebels or the lack of support for assad with weapons spilling in there as well we've had analysts say that in libya libya is awash with weapons who are seaver syria could be to some libya part saying. well obviously it's not quiet because it's because the syrian government is far more in taxes has it enjoys a lot more support and the ground but you know having mentioned that you know look at what happened in libya we go a backlash from from islamic extremism has already happened in a sense hasn't it the pictures of the dead american ambassador remind us very very vividly of the images we saw last year of the monarchy dirty pictures of former
9:22 am
libyan leader. cantor an attack took place on campus in afghanistan a few days ago in which the rebels or the sort of the taliban used certain tactics they were in u.s. uniforms they had sophisticated equipment and one could but wonder but whether the tag. the syrian counter bards will put others where trained in syria to attack syrian army bases were copied into the comeback city and or indeed some of the equipment will body armor that was supplied by the americans and the british who smuggled into afghanistan to cause havoc in an army base over there where were you when it comes to getting weapons into afghanistan i mean we can go all the way back to the serbia days of nine hundred seventy nine and the cia getting weapons as well particularly these heat seeking missiles that were giving the soviet choppers an awfully tough time when it comes to a few moments ago you mentioned that the syrian president assad who study he has
9:23 am
quite a lot of support on the ground if he does have support among so many people there in his own country then why do certain members of the u.n. insist on being so opposed to him. well i think every single state has saw in the syrian conflict a sort of opportunity to go in and try to influence the outcome so that it would be to their fair advantage and we all know the certain countries in the u.n. have certain economical problems and they would want probably a more favorable government in damascus and seal off the middle east as an economic creation in probably what they see as a lot of rivalry that is heating up with the brics countries for example you have the israeli issue the palestinian issue and the syrian government have not been cooperating much with the few of certain countries and so on and so forth that the regional countries have their own rivalry schemes you know sudanese b.s. you know it's a geopolitical influence of salt everyone saw an opportunity and everyone thinks
9:24 am
that by getting rid of assad and his government and his regime then probably they might feel better but actually all this has did it only to destruction bloodshed and so on and so forth had president i said been less popular he would have been ousted long time ago we've said this lot of what half a member of a syrian social club joining us live here from london on r.t. if to see you thank you thank you very much. now dozens of anti japan protesters in china have surrounded and attacked the car of the u.s. ambassador to the country during a demonstration near the japanese embassy the diplomat was left and an investigation has been launched into the incident on monday u.s. defense secretary leon panetta agreed on a missile defense plan with japan as the country agreed to host a second radar of the deal comes in the wake of violent anti japan protests in china the tokyo disputed islands beijing considers its own from private investors should professor of economics at the university of nottingham says the us military
