4:22 am
in their hands some people would do this. because it's powerful you can neglect the fact that it is powerful when when when a page of facebook. is giving one opinion and it's nobody knows that it starts giving the other opinion but it's to them this is a very very strong way to to reach out to all these people you know to convince them to convert them but who is behind the web of secrecy these hackers spin the night foundation says openly it backs hacker groups across the globe the american foundation is attached to the international center for journalists in washington a group closely aligned with u.s. foreign policy its first group started. worked three years ago in new york since then and chapters have been set up in cities across five continents the latest in tunis and amman so called hackers chapters are springing up across the arab world bringing together journalists and develop as their intentions might be noble to
4:23 am
advantage citizen journalism and civil society but in real life they often pave the way for subversive activities what is going on in jordan and it's harper's program that's going to be funded and guided by these forces in the west is part of the larger story of how the united states and the western powers are responding to the initial arab spring very quickly the u.s. more zero with democracy promotion programs and other sorts of programs to steer the arab spring into outcomes that are not going to be threatening to western capitalism and to us geopolitics and it's really geopolitics in the region history is littered with western governments using n.g.o.s and groups to advance their interests and more recently with the electronic media and social networks they employ but the angry demonstrations have rocked the arab world after the you tube clip of the innocence of muslims trailer when viral shows yet again how the west sometimes force victim to the very same activity it promotes policy r.t.

. are you watching us live from moscow in just a few minutes but when you're on the money. if you're passing through russia's very gentle 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. going on 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. for two things a successful duck hunt. and. silence would be very quiet
4:25 am
i'm not going to write him. off. 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 the less 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
4:26 am
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 island a chance to get close and personal with the locals and it's these guys 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 place infant wolves with one year old wolf cubs whose 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
4:27 am
a project which has seen more than twenty generations of cubs grow up here it's going to continue to take time and money to rehabilitate the wolf's 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. hello and welcome to on the money with the business of russia is business i'm peter lavelle go east young man go east we are told this is the plan russia wants to go in search of markets and trade how realistic is this and over what time period where does the russian economy stand in this turbulent world. to discuss this i'm joined by ben eris he's the editor in chief of business new europe and erich krauss he's an independent asset manager all right first gentlemen
4:28 am
let's go place your marker this is our the beginning of our program eric in a few words where or where is oil prices going it's either stable or up then. it's going to be stable next couple of years. ok what about the implications of that later china harder not so soft landing no there the law that flight. it's slowing down by this because it's maturing i mean this is a natural evolution so it's still growth it's growth but not quite as fast a commodity prices are probably going to be under pressure for the next because of the bends answer on that for oil and that when i think it'll be probably weak for the next eighteen months then strong. again it's it's a function of the global economy is slowing down and so that's going to put an ok my favorite topic eurozone crisis eurozone crisis it's been delays but only for a year and then it's back ok there's optimism euro zone it's not predictable it's not an economic question it's
4:29 am
a political question the europeans can save themselves if they so choose ok let's talk about saving countries obama reelection definitely damas short ok where is russia's position in this volatile world place it's always been it is a major developing economy it's halfway between asia in europe it grows much faster than belgium much lower than china yeah the story is unchanged it continues to grow and develop it's being slowed down by the problems but that's all it's just having to wait a month when it need to be easing. bad idea quantitative easing probably necessary but you're going to have to get off it at some point ok and the attractiveness last question the attractiveness of emerging markets are. terrible except that they're better than any other markets out there was being rebuilt and they were emerging markets are taking their rightful place and people have to wake up to that ok now we're also joined by simon fenton fletcher he's a portfolio manager with renaissance asset management before we go.
