you know that that the insurgency in mali these aggravated by ethnic clashes an artsy camera crew witnessed instances of executions and brutality perpetrated by the mali an army and survive there the military are not the only ones and gauged in hunting down people of arable quarry origin are believed to be part of the insurgency and eventually the locals are going after them as well and for some time it has been difficult to find people from either of those ethnic groups anywhere in mali and this brings us back to the fact that more than three hundred thirty thousand people have been forced to flee from their homes because of the crisis of the last straw for all those refugees and indeed for all of mali as been a statement by al qaida coming out of the arabian peninsula which calls upon every muslim to join the holy war against france a war that is being fought in mali against the will of its people. are to others that miley business now with katie and katie joins us now in the studio.

play. live. live live. live . hello there welcome to business i'm crazy poing thank you for joining me this evening hermosa sky now the three biggest economies in the euro zone posted the wost growth figures since the height of the recession four years ago the economies of germany france and italy always shrank more than four cars in the fourth quarter

of twenty twelve now earlier today i spoke to chris a wi-fi he's a chief strategist from spare bank international investment research now i asked him about the spigot and i also asked what he first saw happening this year twenty thirteen and beyond that they are certainly of great concern i think to economists looking at the prospects for the global recovery because the euro zone is one of the world's major economic regions and if it were to continue into this you know economic recession be slight then the danger is we could see contagion spreading to china to the u.s. and that of course we don't come back and hurt the russian economy so yeah of great concern right now but still most economists are forecasting that the fourth quarter of last year was the worst quarter and the indications are that we're beginning to see you know something of a recovery taking place and so for this year there could be expectations are that

the economy will do slightly better than we saw in two thousand and twelve so did you go along with the war acb president did all day is saying that confidence has stabilized and that he does see growth at some point later on well i think you know he's obviously hoping that that's been the case it's still too early to you know to say that there is a. boost in the economy we can see some slight improvement and they say that there is an optimistic outlook for the. compared to last year but it's far too early to be complacent for example if there were to be a cherry aeration in the banking system in spain or initially then that could certainly undermine confidence and lead to a much lower rate of growth or decline again this year so you know we're certainly seeing this optimistic tone and optimistic rhetoric and everybody's trying to kind of talk up the story the hope that that would increase investment or consumption but it's still early days yet and very fragile and everybody's very nervous and

really just talking about these figures that came out today they all roll the dismal today no proof that the soviet spending cuts all stare at sea is not walking the. well this you say that the it isn't working we had a mess of. austerity cuts across many countries in the euro zone and we haven't really seen any benefit from that the benefit has been on the fiscal position at a budget level but not in terms of economic growth but you know this slump has extended to countries that haven't suffered austerity kurtz's for example germany that the region's biggest economy you know has also reported much slower growth than had been expected and yet you know that's a strong economy strong balance sheet didn't suffer from many any cuts what we're actually seeing is that you know the problems on the edge of europe in the mediterranean are and it's actually are undermining confidence last year and this is what dragging it i guess is hoping to say to confidence is picking up but no

doubt about it last year the concern about problems in mediterranean countries in ireland has had an impact on confidence and that has reduced investment spending by companies and consumption by consumers so that needs to change we need to prevent that loss of confidence from deepening because that is what will drive euro zone economy much worse and another front so that could drag it down even while perhaps the you're right on the strength of it at the moment how much of a disadvantage is that. well the euro is a bit of an anomaly at this stage because you know the central bank and industrialists it would all prefer to see a weaker euro because you know like we see in other countries in japan particularly in the u.s. . they are striving for weaker economies to our weaker currencies to help boost economic growth. but on the other hand you know a strong euro can be taken as

a reflection of confidence in the region of recovery and it can boost confidence so there's a little bit of a kind of a mismatch i guess between what the politicians want which is you know i think it better europe better currency which would then maybe sustain better come. prince in the region where the industrialists in the central bank are of course concerned that it will hamper growth so it is a concern either way and of course the whole issue of currencies in general around the world is now becoming the major talking point a major economic issue you know for all central banks and for all economies. well let's now see how the european markets reacted to those disappointing figures and as you can see it's probably not a surprise at all that we did have declines of the half a percent down over a percent negative territory for the dax in germany there is also contraction for the japanese economy as well really raising concerns about global growth these concerns really felt across the board including evolved to have a look at how u.s.

stocks are performing at the moment are there actually bouncing around i've got to tell you to be honest but as you can see below the line just now but pretty flat it's a lackluster performance despite positive domestic data we've got jobless claims actually foreleg as well is that one of the big stories today is warren buffett still to buy hives the food group famous for tomato ketchup bins and mayonnaise and also this is a twenty eight billion dollars deal about this is how the russian river water that it was indeed a mixed performance as you can see just so it's lower to the u.s. dollar and the higher to the common currency that was the first day for months for the russian currency we'll see how the markets got on then as you can see there declines as well taken their international cue that's having a loss or oil price supports and as you can see decreasing more than one and

a half percent for the r.t.s. just that and that's ahead of friday's r.t.s. my stakes i.p.o. as well. performance much better than the market though up one point five percent and that's because there's rumors of it selling as day. i came moving on russia's energy sin test group is offering the top bit of around two point five billion dollars for the greek state gas giant sit in tears promises to boost the company's profitability of a six point five billion dollars worth of investment into the country. she explains for us. international lenders are demanding greece paid up its privatization program to reduce its staggering four hundred sixty billion dollars that the country is selling off its assets hoping to raise about fifty billion dollars in four years all for today is greece state's own gas provider along with the natural gas greed operate the final contestants include russia's gas giant gazprom by john

stay the own folk are out to greek groups the top bid there is russia's adage a firm seemed as offering two and a half billion dollars for the whole lot the company operates power generating facilities in russia and develops oil and gas it promises to bring greece more cash . the company state managers have reached their limits we think will be able to boost the company's profitability by fifty percent and bring to five billion euro this is investments in the next five years will expire pipeline system and builds and you alan g. terminal we see greece as a potential gas transportation hub for gas flows from the mediterranean sea the gulf states and russia will meet. however of the prospect of greece becoming a gas hob my action to prevent the russian companies from leaving the tender as

europe's is increasingly against russia's expansion on their energy markets live time to say a better be the than what the russian companies will offer is unlikely. the newly hired image advisor to the russian government goldman sachs continues with glowing reports now predicting that the russian economy will grow an impressive five point three percent this year the wall street has been tasked with helping russia's foreign cash some say this rave review is expected considering the banking giant is being paid a what paying half a million dollars for the privilege. and it is indeed valentine's day so let's talk about love why not now the best way to keep a romance alive is no candlelit dinners cuddly toys or all time together no no

these continues now here on r.t. the israeli government has admitted that a man with links to the country's secret service was imprisoned under a false name and that the so-called prisoner x. hanged himself when in custody two years ago the identity of the alleged secret agent was revealed by australian t.v. we have his radio reports indicating that the media there was initially would have by the government to keep the story under wraps for security reasons still unknown why the man was being held in a top secret tel aviv prison and claims are emerging he was a double agent and he knew sensitive security information on the list and senior correspondent for israel's how did newspaper m e r n i spoke to him earlier he says that the entire situation has become a source of embarrassment for the country. on one level it's an espionage story and mystery regarding the foreign intelligence service mossad and the tragic. circumstances under which one of its operatives apparently found his death on

another level. government versus press story and the press here has been struggling against various government agencies and gradually has been able to leave at least some of the secrecy surrounding this story there was a gag order here apparently and defer this was the case and one cannot confirm it independently from israel but again embarrassing as it is one has to rely on foreign sources if that is true and a gag order was signed by a judge then one would have been subject to prosecution if one were to violate it so apparently even though de israeli press is far from being lazy for the last two years it has waited passively for someone abroad in this case

australia to break the story one of the world's smallest economies and and babu to has beaten the u.s. in a trade battle over online gambling after washington's ban on offshore gambling hit the economy the caribbean nation it demanded legal retribution and the w t o the world trade organization allowed it to breach the u.s. intellectual property rights only going to start a chicken and explains. the heavenly spot in the caribbean welcome to antigua and barbuda a tiny country with a population of under ninety thousand people. gambling is a popular pastime here and locals and tourists alike i won't say the last vegas caribbean because i mean i have a lot of caribbean countries that. obviously you know as well i should say well sometimes be a stepping stone ahead of a lot of other casinos but an even more powerful money maker here a mere decade ago was the online gaming business we once had a thriving. internet gaming industry and to get employed over four thousand people

that industry is gone no juta actions of the united states legally licensed internet gambling companies provided jobs for five percent of the locals and rocketed in over three billion dollars annually but with americans as the key players u.s. officials weren't happy and bad offshore gaming even though the industry is completely legal in an america season the rest of the world catches the cold. from fouls of jobs and tremendous cash inflow to an industry crumbled and those who make it up treated as criminals they were prosecutions of persons who had companies operating companies and until you go and this person some of whom were indicted and arrested and who had their property and for seniors the potential targets people like this online gambling operator fearful of what the u.s. can do to him because of his business legally licensed in and teague or he wants to

remain anonymous. with severe insulin or both so. there will be very broad field synced forms or removed or literally hundreds of bodies stolen from the village really. the island nation has had enough and has put a fight at the world trade organization for its legal rights money and regaining a collapsed industry it's been going on for a decade and we think it's time to bring the plane into the land of the w t o took the side of the tiny country in a decision that ruffled the feathers of the u.s. in the world trade organization and he has the right to basically. assets of the united states including in particular copyrights trademarks patents so they can sell microsoft word for

a dollar each the w t o decision allows and t. get to completely ignore us copyright laws until the money loss due to the online gaming collapse is made up for but limited to twenty one million dollars a year the u.s. concern now is that the w t o has potentially laid out a welcome mat for all sorts of pirates of the caribbean but the tiny island nation of the billion giants only has the power to play first actually wiping out the second largest source of the a team in economy i'm sure the dispute between american mentee go frightens many moguls because of what may come next they won't talk about it on camera but for tourists the slap in the face of the u.s. is all the gossip that kind of money it is and it's not going to hurt the u.s. economy that much as it would just in the going to be no. but there's also will take some action against it though as well while until going to have won a battle at the w t o there is still a long fight ahead first time that a small country took on a war country in the world trade organization. and it was. kind of a you know

a bad thing that the united states is just ignoring you know the ball is now in the court of this little island while the copyright left is now an official option to cash in on and to go hopes it might be able to negotiate a deal with the u.s. that is good for all before all ships have sailed and r.t. reporting from n t going barbuda in the caribbean. so that's it for me for the moment i'll be back with the team with more news for you in just under ten minutes from now stay with us if you can.
