why not what's really happening to the global economy with much stronger no holds barred look at the global financial headlines. is a report. but they just did it for entertainment or even him it had something to do with politics it was his enemy that would pick him we talked to a former georgia prison official who leads the shocking video showing the goal is to train inmates of the country. also fury over insults to islam and western media continues in muslim countries are angry crowds faced tear gas and rubber bullets as they try to breach to your son the same pakistan. the british government stands accused of splashing the cash on new worse policy

advisers double down on top of the previous administration while cutting benefits and public spending. hello and welcome to r.t. twenty four hour news live from moscow my name is you dash to our main story now georgia's interior minister has resigned a days after videos surface which appear to show inmates being tortured and sexually abused by prison guards the footage prompted outrage in the country with thousands taking to the streets saying they won't rest until every one responsible is held to account is going off reports now from today. this story is continuing to unfold here in georgia the interior minister has resigned and our team managed to meet with the man who started all this the former staff member of the gandhi prison

who released this shocking footage georgian authorities still claim that they didn't know what was going on but according to the crowds this is not the case at all. when acholi i was appointed minister in two thousand and five this is tim was very far from european standards then circus we appointed a felon minister and a life started taking very tough steps he would send security forces to prisons they would break into prisons and beat up inmates even if the lawyer himself would often be there with a camera filming everything and then i think he would show those videos to cycle in order to show him what kind of system he had built was going to be because he is now in belgium is asked for political asylum and he claims that georgian authorities are still looking for him while he says that for anyone who wants to work in the security services be police or the jail system in georgia no criticism of president saakashvili is allowed of they just did it for

entertainment or if an inmate had something to do with politics it was saakashvili is enemy they would pick him this is him is extremely politicized if you work in the prison system or in the police you must be loyal to the circus with a regime no criticism is a lot you should either leave or they will get to you they enjoyed watching how helpless people were in their hands with and then once they take you to prison you are nobody you have no dignity this is why these videos cost such an outreach in georgia and this is why all those young people are protesting because also says that president saakashvili is purely an american project and washington will do everything for him to remain in power here. in georgia. we decided to show this footage to the world for everyone to see how the georgian

leader really treats this it is a. transparency he wouldn't. tolerate . the videos that buried george's image making efforts in a matter of minutes scenes of torture beatings and the sexual abuse of inmates allegedly in one of the country's most exemplary prisons just. human dignity is the last thing they care about it i never believed them just one bit. thousands protested with signs reading the reply only addressed the georgian authorities some are comparing the footage to that from guantanamo even though these are. not terrorist suspects many not only want the sacking of officials responsible for the police and the prison system but the prosecution as well. everybody knows this isn't just one case this happens all over the country. the

atmosphere at the entrance to the prison is extremely intense but this is not a protest rally these people are relatives of inmates who are still inside the prison and they are demanding an explanation. brother has already spent seven months behind bars and says georgia's democracy beacon image in the west is merely a well orchestrated cover up. the chill real pretty on the outside sure it's easy for europe but no one really knows what's happening behind these walls. president saakashvili came as a standing thought several prison officials are now under a criminal investigation and all jail staff have been temporarily substituted with police officers the head of the ministry responsible for the penitentiary system has resigned. but for many georgians it's too little too late in a country with a population half the size of paris twenty five thousand inmates is enough to

affect nearly every family in one way or another either through relatives friends or neighbors and as the nation prepares to vote for a new problem in the october the damage to georgia's leaders may be too much for their reputation to be rescued in time he would become of r t e c ga. and you can see the interview with the former deputy warden of georgia's go danny prison later today. the rift between western powers and the islamic world seems to be growing over insults to prophet muhammad continue to rain ians angry over french cartoons have descended on the french embassy in tehran chanting and burning flags like ronnie's

were banned in tunisia fearing violence after friday prayers in pakistan thousands clashed with police furious over the u.s. made on to islam film security forces fighting a gas and warning shots to push crowds back from the american embassy some thirty people have been injured pakistani t.v. channels out showing clips of president obama didn't now sing the film it's hoped well calm the protesters but as also he's again that account reports many billy washington's at this in the region seem counterproductive. as anti american fury rages on across the world it also raises the question whether washington's efforts to export democracy to muslim nations have instead radicalized the region in libya radical islamists are on the rise especially in the part of the country which the u.s. hopes too little quote unquote liberate in the first place a source familiar with ambassador stevens' thinking says that in the months before

his death he talked about being worried about what he called the never ending security threats specifically in benghazi a source telling us that the ambassador's specifically mentioned the rise in islamic extremism with the country's internal situation getting increasingly unstable libya now appears to be a spores that can get from the route that washington envisioned for the libyans when they do when bombing the country our goal is focused our cause is just. and our coalition is strong having also cheered on the revolution in egypt the obama administration is now unclear whether they ended up with a more friendly or more hostile country who i don't think that we would consider them an ally but we don't consider them an enemy but looking at their flags burning and mobs chanting death to america meaning americans ask themselves doesn't the widespread on rast in the muslim world mean the president's policies there are flawed or maybe dangerously naive i don't think it three cause

a degree in physics to grasp the reality of the. world democratization means. i believe that the u.s. state department and the policymaking community in washington were blinded by their own ideological blinkers in afghanistan washington's efforts to make friends also seem to have failed afghan police and soldiers have killed more than fifty who wants a holy shrine troops this year alone and many of the attackers have been trained and armed by the us their basic wealthiest families you're not going to upset and change two thousand years of cultural matter you could influence of but you cannot change so this is where we have to be smarter about how we proceed doing the same thing over and over again that it was washington is actively backing armed rebel groups in syria again with no guarantee that those who they helped now will not turn into their number one enemies eventually just like al-qaeda did it may be that

the u.s. sees its mission as one way hostile into being where they can but the strategy has been shown to backfire time and time again with the us ending up supporting forces who then turn their arms against america in washington i'm going to shut down. on the riff is that fresh an arrest could take hold in islamic countries after friday prayers and professor of politics at new york enough us to patricia did you nare believes the u.s. should rethink its regional poses if it wants to get relations back on track. has been going on for weeks but i think it has been brewing for decades the u.s. has had kind of an ad hoc foreign policy in the middle east for over sixty years now they've been staunch supporters of israel no matter what happens within the context of the arab community in the arab region and in the muslim reason i was are saying now in pakistan and afghanistan their policy is also bad kind of way or in

an ad hoc nonexistent so i think if anything's going to happen they're going to have to be very engaged right now of why i really think that the u.s. is a bit confused about what it should be doing and how it should be moving forward it's trying to step back and allow some of you know the arab world basically in the muslim world to make its own decisions but there's such a there's such chaos going on right now i think we need to be more engaged and more active this is about really qualifying down stopping the rhetoric against iran and moving forward to more peaceful and better relationships and better respect with each other so they can have a good future and so can we. we're also closely following the press in the muslim world at all so you've got more on the provocative western portrayal of the middle east that's how web sites to put a student accused of inciting hatred will go up across the new york subway as u.s. authorities say the billboards are justified on the basis of free speech. and also

live and i trust in the islam film that sparks the middle east protests a lawsuit against its produce such as well as google and you tube she fears for the safety of her family that. a group of around twenty also the christian protesters have try to disrupt the opening of an also exhibition mosco which was inspired by members of the punk band pussy riot police arrested nine people of the world an art gallery complex in the center of the counter told big submission shows paintings of the jailed christie riot members portrayed as really just i called the protest as they were offered they were offended drowned out by the exhibit which was said to remain intact for now the band members are serving two years behind bars for staging a so-called punk prayer in russia named christine. it was coming up later in the program for you.

that went viral the u.k. deputy prime minister it turns into that sensation as music is added to nick clegg saying sorry over a broken promise. story is coming up in a few minutes after a very short. which is slow often enough and knows that to ride a horse you've got to catch it first. for

him it's a daily routine that just softens a horse breeder on the island of a horn at the heart of by call his life on an isolated farm is about blue sky green grass and his horses forget that sometimes it gets lonely here but horses have become part of me now i've fallen off so many times sometimes that bites as well it's part of my every day life. i home suburban home to it rats like you just saw for centuries most still live off the land of cattle and fish every evening local villagers place their nets and in the morning the catch is always good. we always have enough here.

if by coal is often called the pearl of siberia and when i said to be the pearl of by call it's all end of fake forests. and vast staps. it's also a place of fashion to borat's traditions respected by locals and travelers alike. an economist turned adventurer has crisscrossed by called shores and learned its customs well. you see. to have supernatural powers every traveler who comes here asks the spirits to make the journey easier give them strength and. virtually undiscovered by tourists until some twenty years ago i was cornish quickly becoming a magnet for nature lovers and the real seekers but those used to five star pampering may be in for a surprise the island's infrastructure has yet to catch up with the growing demand

here quite some way from civilisation here accommodation on the island is very basic so you can forget about it or even run in water for most people tend is there on the eruption but for those who come here it's exactly what they're looking for. in journey to buy coal can be unique trip of a lifetime and the locals say once you've seen it you'll be coming back again and again. this is all see welcome by. now when politicians say sorry it's usually means that trying to wriggle their way out of

a stick. the u.k.'s deputy prime minister was attempting to do it but he landed himself an even bigger one after his apology or went to wire as an. as the remakes is now being released as a single nick clegg was apologising for breaking a pre-election promise not to increase tuition fees but his policy by x.p. tripling of fees to nine thousand pounds a head mid he should never have made the pledge to begin with this speech was shown ahead of the liberal democrats congress a convention nick clegg's popularity has flatlined recently political blogger george eaton binny's his own policy will likely get rid of him. but you're different lines of this clegg and his apology suggest that the party made the pledge in the first place because there's no money around would have been too

expensive to implement now what song that that is saying is well we would have kept the pledge but it was hung parliament. but it kept me a little tense haven't got one single message on this and i think until they do so they do then we holler for the very just take them seriously play better the moment that is best hope of turning his policies fortunes around to show that they can achieve things for the country in government rather than spend time arguing with the conservatives trying to differentiate themselves it remains to be seen by the. i think that clegg is probably finished and that's the party will replace him for the next election so why do disastrous. design the only concern for the u.k. is coalition of the moment as concept piled on to the british public with layovers glow it looks like the government is unaffected by recession and the latest figures

show the current coalition has doubles the number of policy advisers also has pointed boycott reports. the russian empire had twenty six of them but it looks like the british government supports that number a long time ago here in the u.k. policies as an individual appointed by the government to see or find solutions in testicle to areas of public policy and according to their research about to be released by king's college london the coalition of government has appointed ninety of them over the past two years they include celebrities like mary porteous who's famous for how to make a television show she was charged with making the u.k. high street over the past few years the u.k. government have appointed czars on everything from enterprise digital communication and even housing but most of them are from the television there are so many of them that they could almost form their own celebrity mini cabinet serious questions

about exactly why these people will be going to these rules you go. to. and he was very. political analysts say they're worried about the increasing number of policy advisers as i made the coalition governments pledge to cut public spending it isn't just best swelling number that's worrying it's a question of their competence this year the british government's back to work sorry no businesswoman emma harrison who was appointed to help problem families find was forced to stand down from her role a major concerns over fraud within her company critics say the increasing number of cars within the u.k. government points to a deeper question about how the country is run and where the civil servants lack the expertise necessary to do their job properly. and it's time to take

a look at some other news from around the world at least four people have been killed and schools into the twin cities. bombing in somalia's capital city mogadishu the explosion took place in a crowded tea house near the presidential palace three journalists are reported among the dead similar kind of support group al-shabaab has been blamed for that time the bombing comes just a week after an assassination attempt on the new elected president. has sent tongues to its border with syria after fierce exchanges of gunfire continued overnight across the region it comes a day after rebels occupied a strategic crossing on the syrian turkish front here which could open a new supply route a military helicopter was also seen crashing in a near city in the city near the syrian capital damascus their regime says it clips the tail of a passenger plane in midair but the armed opposition claims the chopper was downed by its height. and the turkish quarter is expected to give its verdict in the trial

of hundreds of military officials accused of plotting a coup among the charges brought against them are plans to blow up historic mosques in turkey and sparking a conflict with greece critics of the trial consider it an encroachment of turkey's secular principles which the military was seen as a guarantor world. and let's not check on the business news and vestment forum has kicked off in russia's southern city of sorts that's where we can join all of these dmitri medvedev go to be treated the way. all right we are indeed live from. where the eleven international investment forum kicked off we're expecting a record attendance of around fifteen thousand representatives of the business community of the government. related organizations and also the plenary session will kick off around half an hour which will be held by the prime minister dmitry

medvedev and among the highlights of the day we're also expecting it's widely speculated that we might hear some kind of. information on a possible deal between b.p. and ross snapped on the exchange of assets but we'll get to that later that's now on to the head of the russian direct investment fund with me if it was to do with this live today from the sochi studio it was very good to see you thanks so thank you for being with us over the past year a lot as happened in russia we had a change of government change of president assad also wave of opposition protests how do you think this is affected the investment plan in the country you know i think there is a clear increase in interest in the investments in russia that we see from foreign investors and as you know we announced russia china investment fund which just announced its first investment in the far east and regional for russia and there was a survey done which showed that twenty four percent of foreign investors wanted to increase investments in russia in the bowl both last year but the neighbor all of

this year already forty eight percent wanted to increase investment so we see that investors value russia when compare russia to other countries and see problems in europe the problems in other markets and believe that russia provides a very interesting growth prospects that gives their guilty shoes to be sold but the trash is sold in them however if you look at macroeconomic statistics there's a lot of capital leaving the country it's happened last year it's also happening this year according to. parents this day so what do you what do you make of that is that actually happening how do you prevent this from happening you know be actually started to research to because it was or is to be on in the building when the results are showing that there is much less capital even they can treat because when you think about death for example lots of death will stay committed by russian companies before and now they're just repaying says that so it's not really capital live in the country it's companies fulfilling their debt obligations to the international markets so we believe that a very successful i.p.o.

is burbank that was very successful you know it's an example of investor confidence in russia so the guy. but believe in the council we believe will be slowing down and a lot full of the capital will be coming in a small term investment into russia all right carol thank you so much that was to be true of the head of the russian direct investment fund talking to us live with his optimistic assessment of the investment climate in the country and of course stay tuned for further updates from sochi. many thanks indeed for that dmitri artie's me chimichanga reporting there live from the investment forum in soft. well. it's technology innovation all the developments around russia we've got the future covered.

if you're passing through russia's to be a region you really can walk on the wild side. thousands of kilometers of unspoiled countryside make up an area where it's still possible to live off the land and enterprising locals so the fruits of the forest by the side of nearly every road. such spectacular scenery makes it a paradise for fisherman and provides a business opportunity for hunters. you know he has been hunting for more than thirty years and works for a company providing expeditions for tourists this season ducks are on the menu. the two things a successful duck under. a bottle silence would be very quiet i'm not going to frighten the. office. but when you've been in the business as long as he has the birds don't stand much chance. there are defined hunting seasons in russia but lax enforcement means many

animals are killed out of the allotted times which can leave young animals orphaned and unable to survive but environmentalists are fighting back the heart of just us forest provides a sanctuary for the most famous beast in russia it's home to a group who rescue often bear cubs and raise them when they're old enough to fend for themselves the cubs a target taken to a remote location and released back into the wild but it's not just bears who find a haven here this is wolf island here wolf pups have been captured by hunters or bought from zoos have a second chance at life and conservationists have a unique opportunity to observe them these walls are all around four months old and they'll stay in this area for up to three years then most will go back to the wild for good just viewing them from the car was an experience in itself but then after a bit of a bumpy ride came an opportunity i just couldn't pass up. this

is what i was hoping for when i heard i was coming to a place called wolf i had a chance to get close and personal with the locals and it's these guys are going to act as pasta parents for the next generation will come here using the old awards as surrogate parents has already proved a successful technique. every year i place infant wolves with one year old wolf cubs his parental instinct is totally shaped and they take them as their own cubs it's an important part of the world's development and a major factor in the success of a project which is see more than twenty generations of cubs grow up here it's going to continue to take time and money to rehabilitate the wolfs reputation in russia. but the keepers here hope their research and dedication mean that wolf island remains a place where visitors can truly understand the call of the wild. with

so many burning issues in the world today it's important that we're all as informed as we can be no one man that's more informed than most is william n. bell geo political analyst and author of the book myth light and oil wars and he joins me right now thanks very much for speaking to us thank you syria is of course the main issue at the moment globally just how close are we to seeing a foreign military intervention in that country well the worst in particular who washington has been trying for seventeen now eighteen months almost to blow syria's sky high and spread the chaos to iran because iran is the real target of the whole syrian destabilisation i think we're on the cost of the potentiality for a world war three you have the superpower involvement of the united states as the behind the scenes kind of pop master of what's.
