throats and what have you bringing the country a buck and to medieval darkness so. we have seen very clearly what these people are aiming to do they want to punish when they will leave for its stance against the invasion of libya by nato this is a form of collective punishment against the whole population for standing up for the end of pendants and the sovereignty of their country and the violence and post revolt libya is being accurate in brain trust has called for the help of the international community hoping it could pressure the monarchy towards change but some experts think western self interest will ignore the will of the people. the peace board of directors is reportedly set to confirm the sale of its shares to the joint venture t n k b p two the russian all giant i snatched it would make our staff the world's biggest oil producer if the deal went through more on that from our peter. alfre. well it's a deal it's been
7:08 am
a long time in the coming and it would seem according to the front page of russian newspaper comments on saturday that it has been done now that deal will see role sniffed the buyouts b.p.'s fifty percent share of the company t n k b p just how much that's going to cost though well initially b.p. had said they wanted twenty eight billion dollars for their fifty percent share it seems that they've come to an agreement somewhere around the market seventeen billion dollars in cash and thirteen percent of gross nest stock now this is all part of process plan to try and take over all of t.n. k b p they're currently indication with b.p.'s russian partners a all to buy out the other half of the company if they can do the us then we also have to become the largest publicly traded oil company in the world but this well no reward without risk and the risk what role sniffed is taking in buying out ten k. b.p. is that they will and could debts of upwards of sixty billion dollars to put that
7:09 am
in a little context that says as much as some european nations have in debt nationally . so it's an awful lot of money there a lot of money in debt that they'll be taking on they'll be hoping that the oil price remains high so that they can get a good solid return on their investment in terms of b.p. and what that means to them here in russia it's certainly not the end for them they just they didn't want to be out of russia they just wanted an end to their partnership in t a k b p what they really want is to do business with rolls left and to get a slice of roles they have to be tension lucrative oil exploration rights for the arctic so this is all going to continue on for a little bit longer and deals will be done between roles they have to be bob's in the future but when we get confirmation that this is certainly going through a bring it all here i'll take massive crowds gather and london as british prime minister david cameron returns home from the e.u. summit but they are unlikely to be cheering him on we bring you more on the u.k.'s autumn of discontent later in the program plus. i mean it may romney were in the

politics. already we have the now the political element coming into play some elements of the march fourteenth movement which is known to be anti bush. even before it was known to who was killed in this explosion they quickly point the finger at the syrian government now we saw a house on the head of intelligence security who apparently has a main killed more targeted that is known to be actually a roadblock for team is known not to be one of the supporters not to be very very likable person of the syrian government so i think now this would only lead to more and more bring this problem on fourteen i mean from their west and how is it being pointed at syria the question which must be raised in all of these cases is a who benefits from such an act i think you know if the syrian government does go ahead although we don't have any information but if it does go ahead with acts i think it's only in the during itself in committing suicide it is is the syrian government as such is that as to what sort of
