thank you so much for joining us here today. live in moscow for the title of the world's biggest listed. could soon be held a new company. is looking to see a multi-billion dollar mega deal with british russian joint venture. joins us live. to see you. stakes were essentially talking all business history in the making their way. absolutely rosner's the state. energy giant is looking pretty certain that today they're all for twenty eight billion see the the the b.p. side of the t n k d p. is going to be discussed in the pool between now it's an

absolutely massive dhillon it does as we say look fairly certain that it's going to go ahead it's fairly win win situation at the moment if it does go ahead ross nest is going to become the largest publicly traded oil company and it would certainly. plans in the future to go into things such as arctic exploration say an absolutely massive deal from the b.p. side you know that this asset is really cool some of the stakeholders some pretty major headaches for the time say so it is thought that they will be very very optimistic about this deal going ahead to if there are a number of hurdles that need to be even come along the way in these discussions again to be happening of cool the coming weeks there's a lot of things that we need to be ironed out one of the big things is how much if they d. take that multibillion dollar deal how much of that would be taken in shares in roughness shares so that's going to be something that the people have direct is

going to be looking at pretty closely i mean as he said it does seem like a win win situation for the base size but a long way to go before anything signed sealed. or authorities are searching for life in london thank you. well i certainly have more on what the deal would mean for the world of business as well as some facts and figures on the potential agreement that will be in our business bulletin with artist peter. just how a role is never going to be able to afford this multi-billion dollar deal join me in a few moments time probably having a look at one of the ways in which they're looking to raise a bit extra capital. the cia wants to significantly expand its fleet of drones and is pressing the white house to give it the go ahead it will allow the agency to sustain or even increase the lethal strikes abroad of course including those ongoing in pakistan the news comes just a day after the pakistani interior minister quoted statistics suggesting eighty

percent of people killed in drone attacks have been civilians recommended by said in three hundred strikes and more than two thousand people have died artie's or an english girl looks into the bloody history of u.s. drone operations in pakistan. they don't even come the hover overhead with an incessant buzz the watch they see and they kill. thousands of deaths all in the name of security of the united states there are terrorists holed up in those mountains who murdered three thousand americans they are plotting to strike again this precise claim of self-defense in the face of the ever present terror danger has been in the works for over eight years now more than three hundred drone attacks in the tribal administrative area is located on the border between afghanistan and pakistan have taken according to different estimates between two and three thousand lives the problem however isn't just with quantity

as it is still unclear whether there was killed or actually terrorists the americans themselves often don't know who thought of hate and this huge discrepancy over the focus and you know that we found find out that. a lot more civilians have been killed but these are the people that the americans don't tell you about and they actually class these people. essentially by scholars from new york in stanford university's found that approximately two percent of the total number of deaths were actually terrorists. among the remaining several thousand victims of the drones hundred seventy five were children at one point the u.s. military argued that everyone who was killed in the operations was a militant some believe this stems from americans ignorance in matters concerning foreign cultures what generally happens in the tribal areas every person that walks around almost as in claude's if you wear a white or a color chilliwack that means which is this and that grass and every tribal person

who carries a weapon and forty seven which is. officially pakistan acknowledges the need to wipe out terrorists in the area but is adamantly against such broad military action on its territory something they have been very vocal about it on strikes. but there. are good because answering what washington is quick to hit back with threats of cutting out french will aid an important factor in its relationship with islam a body though pakistan boasts a nuclear arsenal the admit it's hardly the answer to their financial woes and islamabad temper is running out when twenty four pakistani soldiers were killed in the u.s. that airstrike last year the country closed down the nato supply route for seven months and reopened it only after an official apology from the u.s. secretary of state the united states every manipulated cynically manipulated and

used forces unprepared when the same forces follow their own political or religious agenda the right seems to have no option but to either stop the spread. tuck's. was telling. was hard to listen. to somebody was didn't want. and according to off mic or a she from the puck nationalist forum of pakistan's first political lobbying group there he says that what engines responsible for responsible for both the deadly drone strikes and that surely the militants targeting. this is a major blow. to diplomacy and position in pakistan in this is the first time that a senior official actually come out to say this make this kind of a statement that the majority are civilians were killed by cia drones there is no

evidence that the drones have actually helped buckstone control the militants on the contrary pakistan has been very much very successful lives and military in flushing out terrorist from the northern region of so wide back in two thousand and nine and clearing and cleaning up that entire area and if now we see a resurgence of some of the activity of the terrorists it is because of these safe havens on the what i would call the american side of the border which is the afghan side of the border under the watch of the u.s. army where these terrorists who are flushed out by fox and army are maintaining now arresting and training camps over there so i think the pakistani government appears now to be putting the blame in a way on the on the americans and i think that would be the gist of the report published by the box any media today about the meeting which was a closed door meeting of the box any military commanders accusing or mentioning for the first time by the way a figure ninety six incursions from the of gun territory into parks done resulting in killing of bucks in the soldiers and box and civilians. you watching are playing

it too much could lead to house arrest perhaps a job but intelligence online we've got the story of how the u.k. government is training up teenagers to be the future of the backbone of the country's cyber security so it's a piece of common ground the story of the russian settlement marking its two hundredth anniversary where is it in north america. bahrain's forgotten revolution continues out of the international spotlight another pro-democracy rally is planned for later on friday police one has died of injuries following a terrorist attack during an anti-government protest on thursday. demonstrations have been going on now for more than twenty months often spilling into violence and the alleged heavy handedness of the security forces is continuing online with four activists arrested on wednesday for posting twitter messages defaming the king we

can all speak to a user for i will huff there from the brain center for human rights who's planning to take part in today's rally good to see you today protesters now as we know clashing with the police almost on a daily basis in bahrain you're heading to another demo tonight what is the mood among activists some might say you might feel intimidated by the actions of the country's security forces. and if it is the fall we've got against the quite well at least it's happening but it's still about that policeman was dead we still don't have the money. is to be honest you didn't go to some activists from that believes to you know this story is just getting to that it isn't used to you yet but which many of these stories many of the you have published many people get to the story in a few months and even be arceo to voting for them that the biggest book for instance that we should use to justify. going to get the distance to see that we do have

a clear picture of what happened yesterday in you know what i think there's a lot of muddling going on frankly when it comes to the ongoing demonstrations and protests there twenty months worse and it worked in bahrain as you continue to to be a part of these demonstrations another one as we said planned for tonight where do you see the future of the protest movement going if indeed the pro-democracy activists are just constantly being silenced. even to get to the few hours would be a huge difference this if you have to man up and calling for democracy and calling for freedom and it will not stop. the put this did we achieve almost equal the just want you to start to do. he wanted out of this to be too good to get them out and they would not go back home don't you get. even with that thanks with. this month's only. this that. you got it but still to use the

thousand is that we wouldn't want you to do this if we go i said i say as you say despite the ongoing killings and the arrests as well the pro-democracy movement will continue demonstrators will continue staging and venting their course but let me ask you this do you think more pressure on the ruling regime perhaps from the west would help to eliminate this cost and crackdown on protesters. i mean many many people feel about it the support to this side of national unity. please be sure we get to that so that's what we want to push him he has to go to be in support of the one that was at least going to to support democracy. and to look with the. body they have thinking. they just decide what we need vote was they want to still stood. by. egypt to be here.

with tonight's people more so as you say as you say you have like to see some western attention here some western influence to try and bring around some sort of true democracy in bahrain but i must ask you before i run out of time britain has recently signed a defense deal with grain aiming to bolster security both in the region and inside the country what message then is britain sending with this kind of support do you think. i mean. people on the supporting bottom of this goes if you know we have been going to get give. in but. we have bought it we have with you why do you need to see that it's going. do just that. and we believe going to be. more so than this is what it would be. sort of this you would. it would you do we. really want you it's

our side you suffer from the scent of human rights thanks for coming on our t.v. today. australia has revealed it's been sharing intelligence on one of its most talked about citizens julian or sanj but they've been sharing the intelligence with washington for around two years at the exchange apparently started straight after wiki leaks published secret u.s. military reports on the war in afghanistan sergeant self earlier accused his home nation of betrayal and pandering to america which you claims wants him behind bars or even dead the way he did it has been holed up in ecuador's london embassy now for exactly four months and despite being granted political asylum by the south american nation he's unable to leave the building because of britain's threat of a media to arrest an extradition for more and julian assange has legal battles as well as all the episodes of his own interview show broadcast here on our t.v.

just head to our website our team. hasn't been easy yet on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact. the source material is what helps keep journalism honest we. we wanted to present. something else. this is our libyan army units have launched an operation to clear out support of the old regime from the town of bani walid the area which used to be a colonel gadhafi stronghold has been under siege for the last two weeks thursday's attack on the city saw around a dozen people killed activists and journalists who can't chandan says those behind the latest assaults should be punished. i'm getting numerous in europe well

actually reports from residents of bani walid that indeed the first so-called non-government they call themselves a state obviously is not a state is four hundred militias conducting mob rule across libya are are sieging of bani walid at the moment including with grad rockets and with chemical weapons you know at a time when human rights watch and amnesty the very organizations that gave the human rights cover for all the atrocities in the libya conflict have suddenly stated that the rebels are killed around over sixty of gadhafi is convoy a year ago nearly to the day and executed gadhafi himself and of course they did because it was all over you tube from the very first day of the libyan rebellion the atrocities of the rebels today we're seeing another siege before we saw the siege of sirte on the people of any one lead civilians to why isn't the united nations putting in one nine hundred seventy three resolution in this situation. and i still to come for you here and the two main u.s.

presidential candidates obama and romney brace for the last duel pushing of the challenges to the margins. of some of those polling wave and see austerity protests european leaders aim to take control of around six thousand banks by creating a centralized supervisors that. were sold by. homeland security now has robot tunas seriously robot fish the drones in the sky spying on you just weren't good enough effect they've revealed that they're going to be using robotic hummingbirds soon who how cute these things can only see you though above the water now during the one percent or less of your life that you spend swimming homeland security will be keeping you safe since nine eleven we've heard ad nauseum

that we need to be kept safe so americans have given up their rights but have things gotten that much safer honestly has any of the stuff ushered in some sort of peaceful utopia no it hasn't the best terrorism prevention would be to not bomb secular regimes in other countries like libya some fanatical wackos come to power that would help way more than robotic spy fish i hear a lot of people talk about personal responsibility a lot of speeches and yes personal responsibility is a key component of the american way slit people provide for their own defense what is going to protect you more a shotgun under the bed or terminator two so homeland security can of tuna right but i just might be. issues that so much. more serious as the

world faces off supporting different sides fighting the syrian civil war rebel groups within the country struggle to unify. its technology innovation all the developments around russia we've got the future covered. ok now a four twenty pm here in the russian capital this is our city there was a change of pace in the battle of words between u.s. presidential candidates barack obama and mitt romney who laid down their arms and actually traded jokes at a charity fundraiser but the debates are still causing

a buzz huge t.v. ratings but there is criticism that challengers from outside the two major parties almost never appear in televised confrontations the green party's jill stein appears on eighty five percent of the ballots across the country but when she and her running mate were arrested for trying to get the latest debate there was little or no media reaction. the green party's campaign manager believes the two party domination is outdated laws more importantly corporate control. the reality is that there's nothing in our constitution which prevents a multi-party system from emerging here in the u.s. but we do have laws on the books all across the country and we also have the actions of private corporations that have. growing up over the last sixty years to prevent independent parties from challenging the two establishment parties here in the united states the laws that we have in the books prevent or make it very difficult for independent parties to get on the ballot to give voters that choice

those laws date from the cold war they date from the mccarthy era in which there was a fear of communism and socialism and they tried to make it very difficult for a progressive party some particular of to emerge here at the green party we have overcome many of those challenges joel stein is on eighty five percent of the ballots yet they're still preventing her from taking part in the debate if you look at the success of the green party despite all the obstacles we face it says that there is a great demand for the greens people vote for the greens here in the u.s. and you may follow the latest events of the u.s. election monday we start our own special coverage of the ongoing battle between the candidates are bringing you constant analysis. what will change when america picks its president amid muslim rage working the iran tight rope pushing china and russia as occupy anger spreads the two parties still dictate their future to a selection of clothes they are team beginning of october twenty second. from the

r.t. world update for now there were more powers to brussels and less to national regulators european leaders have agreed on a deal that would bring centralized banking supervision to the continent the e.u. summit is into its second day in brussels the talks on thursday were mobbed by fresh protests in europe tens of thousands of greeks descended on athens as a nationwide strike got underway clashing of course with police one protester died of a heart attack and at the scuffles and in madrid parents and teachers and even students all marched in condemnation of impending government cuts to education capping three days of industrial action for journalist tom gill the summer decision is a direct threat to the democratic foundations of europe. as a big time. principle that of course is part and parcel of the of the whole process of european integration for quite some time now. with the removal of

monetary young fiscal policies from national governments effectively since the creation of the thing currency has been a huge democratic deficit and current proposals that will give more power to elected officials in brussels in front. particular amounts of power to. stronger states. is fundamentally undemocratic and is rolling back the whole principles of what european integration was about when when it was founded not long after the second world war. now a turkey military has retaliated after two shells from syria landed in his territory on friday as we go into the r.t. world update of the two started a series of tit for tat strikes after a syrian shell killed five turkish the billions in a border town earlier this month turkey has been openly opposed to us and is

accused of providing full support for rebels fighting his government. at least eighteen people have been killed in northern afghanistan as a roadside bomb detonated under a passing bus fifteen more were injured the passengers were traveling to a wedding at this point no one has claimed responsibility and it is not yet clear if the wedding guests were the intended victims. the u.s. military chief in japan has imposed a curfew on personnel and follows the arrest of two american officers suspected of raping a japanese woman on their southern island the u.s. military in japan has a history of alleged criminal behavior which has caused tension between the states for decades. but let's not return to our top story here on t.v. with the lovely katie pilgrim good to see you though the possible huge deal between b.p. and rosneft taking the headlines or so it is now poised to secure a tight grip on russia's all industry but can it afford it well that is the multi

billion dollar question right now as well as you say could be buying out be paid out of its vast and vegetating pain on the british company is now meeting in london to consider the officers close in live with our teams paid to all of the line now for the. three to number. well what we've seen recently is a sign that we could be somewhere closer to a deal rosneft of announced that they're going to be issuing bonds now one of the reasons that they would be doing not is if they were trying to get together. extra revenue in order to try and make this multibillion deal now that deal is expected to cost somewhere in the region of between twenty five and twenty eight billion dollars they're not going to make that kind of money for selling bonds however they could make this made around six hundred fifty million from the sale of bonds everything which would help towards trying to convince people that they should sell

fifty percent. be paid to roll sniffs. not only the ship but also b.p.'s russian partners to take over the whole. piece that would make. the largest publicly traded company in the world however well you know they say there's no reward without risk and the risk that could be taking comes in the form of debt now if they take over all of the they would be in debt upwards of sixty billion dollars of perspective that's the same amount as some european nations. would be hoping in relying on a high oil price in order to get some kind of good return from their investment essentially if you think about it in another way it's like if they're playing poker they've they've gone all in on a good hand and they're hoping that the guy said all this at them doesn't have a better hand from b.p. wants out of this deal what they would be looking to get is they don't want to pull

out of russia or entirely they just want out of their partnership a spot of tea and pay the fee they going to be looking for though as a share. of all important potentially lucrative exploration rights in the arctic the rights to go and look for oil there but this is a great deal it's being watched far and wide and it's also being looked at very closely with the corridors of power here in russia the russian government has to say about the deal. the government has been thinking about. or in two thousand and fourteen we do believe that when the market conditions occur . we will sell the stake it will definitely be so. true. so that's all the latest on what's going on with this i'm going to look in negotiations in london any news that comes out of last out of those negotiations of course i'll bring you here. thanks for that a reporting from the world yeah the headquarters in moscow thanks very much indeed

i can't check out the markets and we've got the european markets to look at your opinion lead is. the spine so we're now looking at the kleins as a result. is also on its way south as well the european currency will also be able to see what the move is doing to the song to me here friday afternoon is a day makes me equities all to paying that close up the week on the rise and say well what's the market today. and we've also got google to talk. now we don't have time i'll do that next time i tell you that is indeed the market is the business for now though we have a book about an hour. here and i'll tell you we're going to cross over the people of illinois. kind of survive its internal divisions and frayed really controlled by external forces crosstalk and just

a sec. it sounds like a dragon crashing through the forest but it is in fact technology this is trees and would you believe it this machine can file and strip hundreds of them each day going to work or when building this facility we wanted to use advanced technology that would increase efficiency and allow us not to use manual labor also this provides for better quality goods as a result we were able to conquer western markets the demand for corrina birchwood is high since our production line is quite efficient where i will do well for hard wages to our employees the trunks end up here where they're tending to planks which branch off for all manner of uses greenies would exports of luggage but not all of it as of gold. here in the museum island of traditional methods they use.
