about four hundred kilometers northeast of bamako was launched from across the border in mauritania that will be a huge problem for the for the for the kind of france so it's our eyes and i just wanted to ask you the islamists that you're talking about there they've pledged of they war terror attacks if the invasion continues is there an effective way there for the french to do with such tactics a kind of caught between a rock at our place. absolutely and you know as soon as the the strange thing about all of this is that before france came in a couple of weeks ago there was quite a lot of. evidence that the islamist coalition was beginning to show quite a few cracks it's such it's such a hodgepodge of different people different ethnic backgrounds you know. they're even carlos song line now or who are in the city of fighting for them. which is the islamist organization that rule gowan other major city and in eastern mali and all

this funny strange coalition was beginning to show signs of weakness basically and there's even a theory which i give some credence to that the islamists attacked for the south precisely to give to sort of bring their troops back into line or make them you know give them a point of focus so you know there's another just just while you're on the lines of about a minute left there's another bit of irony in if you like this is a story that libyan weapons are being used they've been spilling over from libya they've been playing a part of this conflict as well in mali ironic isn't it. well you know the live the funny of the of the very ironic thing about libya is that everybody says oh it's the mercenaries who came from you know who bought breton's back from libya and started the rebellion a year ago the thing is that i get that he had always played an absolute double role a two edged role in the sad how at the one hand he supported the trial or it was

training with weapons and stuff like that but also he'd also always make sure that they never achieve their aims because he was frightened of his own populations in libya having strange ideas so you know the role of gadhafi is actually quite ill understood i feel by you know the meter and stuff like that but yes once his once his weapons arsenals were opened at the end of you know after he found everybody help themselves it wasn't only the it was the islamists it was libyans it was egyptians and speculation too that libya his limits are actually helping the people of mali now the same people the french the british opted to power of course absolutely i mean everyone you know the thing is that getting rid of gadhafi was a major deal destabilization because he has been a casually you know she sort of been a kind of a force for kind of stability in a strange way because he can a manipulated everyone in a very macchiavelli and clever way over decades you know but yet they're taking him

away everything is much more of a free for all everything is much more nonaligned and kind of gone back to sort of little groups trying to get their own advantage and you know it's a rainbow nation of muslim jihadists now the are in. northern mali but it's not only them it's also local people and when people say we were when francois hollande says we want to get the jihadists out of mali we want to sort of get rid of them the problem is he's also talking about mali he wants to get mali and south of mali and that is his problems in italy and the morgan thank you for your specialist thoughts much appreciated freelance journey. and writer specializing in west africa and so are you with. next you know much college are explaining why america's two to policing weans arrests for activists see it freedom for the finances. threshold over which the us government has passed in terms of tyranny

mistress of the cave on auntie. hello and welcome to the business program that this week my colleague kitty pilbeam and i will be hosting from this beautiful swiss skiing resort town of davros the home of the world economic forum wednesday is the official start of the event and russia's prime minister dmitry medvedev will be one of the three heads of state along with germany's chancellor angela merkel and italy's prime minister mario monti to address the audience they'll share their ideas of how to move the global economy forward how to shifted out of its current crisis mode and one of the actually pretty hot topics this week is the currency wars we're talking about the

various countries central banks actively managing their exchange rates meaning of course devaluing their currencies what why would they want to do that because it makes their products more competitive on the international markets china has been keeping its currency artificially low for quite a while and i got plenty of competitive advantages from this now the japanese are trying to take advantage of the weakening yet and the european economy may see the negative effects of this policy according to a unit credit a ten percent rise in the euro's value would reduce euro zone's g.d.p. growth by zero point eight percent. when this competitive devaluation actually could affect the russian ruble or so some experts say here with me i have katie pilbeam who had an opportunity to speak with an expert on this today

so what did he say while it was david gray from pricewaterhouse coopers russia and i really wanted to address a topic with him because he's taken the world by storm and he says that's the interesting enough but for the ruble i'm for russia it may. i'm a straight saw resilience. looking for the real to be relatively stable in the i think i don't see big drops in energy prices and i think a flat to moderate energy price and gives us a stable ruble so i think the ruble will tend to attract sideways this year and b if you think about the level of volatility we've experienced in the past even two thousand and twelve was a relatively stable year by historic standards and i think we'll have an and pricewaterhouse coopers they've also just released that business of a full roster and it's actually quite optimistic just looking through it why more upbeat than last year i would say for me to say but i wanted to ask david gray as

well how he felt rushed out was on course to get to that twentieth place in the world bank poll what's right because that's something that president putin is really stressing he really wants russia to achieve that indeed he twenty eighteen that is his goal and i wanted to know if we were on track to achieve that and what needs to be gone in twenty thirty. but i think two thousand and thirteen is a very important year if we don't see significant progress in two thousand and thirteen then it's going to be an almighty uphill struggle to reach that target of getting into the top twenty i think we have seen progress and people are perhaps slower to recognize the progress that is taking place in terms of greater attention around. procurement practices in both regional governments and national governments these are positive trends which will have a positive impact in terms of people's perceptions around corruption and bribery in

the russian economy but there's perhaps a lag in perception behind reality and so we hope that perception begins to catch up with reality in two thousand and thirteen and the government delivers on its rhetoric around wanting to fight corruption because that government has to lead. and it's a big year for russia of course because moscow plays host to the g. twenty meeting we've got twenty of the most powerful influential leaders heading to the country. russia is getting set to host the g twenty meeting of the world's biggest economies and later this year russian president vladimir putin will lead the proceedings and in his words he intends to make affective use of his presidency of the meeting to address russia's long term national goals and strengthen its position in global economic governance no one thing that will be similar to his davos switzerland is of course lead to suppose

the grendel of the final economic world. and now let's do a quick run through the markets here in europe traders didn't see a lot of reasons for optimism the indices close the in the red in moscow both the r.t.s. and the my six and their day in the negative territory as well and on the currency market what we saw is the ruble on tuesday strengthening to the u.s. dollar as well as to the euro and that's all the latest from the business team over the next few days will be bringing you all the latest from the world economic forum here in switzerland. you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you

a big step forward if a parliament wants to enjoy respect the very first thing it needs is to be elected as a result of the fair election that's what our future parliament is going to be. but a balanced parliament just something that is highly unlikely to come out of this election it's being boycotted by georgia's most powerful political movement the muslim brotherhood citing a new law that critics claim gives an unfair advantage to regime loyalists the islamists and their allies have branded the elections as worthless. one of the most like why do people take part in the spectacle called the parliamentary elections elections the way they are now and all the petain in rules the way they are cannot be taken seriously they do not represent the people's will band in many mideast states up until the arab spring jordan's branch of the muslim brotherhood has been a licensed political party for decades but seeing as own contemporaries come to
