work with the parents and work towards reintegration into the family. as washington continues to beat the drum for overseas military operations in just a few minutes we'll look at home how much more peaceful method could allow the u.s. to further spread its global influence. turkey aspiring to become an e.u. member has been urged by the council of europe to improve its record on press freedom the country is now the world leader in imprisoning journalists on the so-called antiterrorism laws they allow authorities to detain suspects for long periods of time before being formally charged. now reports. it's because of people like me didn't he nearly get turkey will be the number one spot in the world for the number of journalists in jail nadeem was arrested and held for two hundred days his charge up to mean classified documents and something government

officials he suspects it was because he published a book investigating the death of another journalist which unnerve the government officials to. the main reason the government arrests journalists just to stifle voices of disagreement the best way to do that is to silence the journalists who speak out against the government then their audience will also fall silent that's the main reason behind the imprisonment of journalists it's not just journalists you get put in jail doctors students labor union leaders the risk of people being thrown in jail in turkey. his words are backed by research from the committee for protection of journalists which claim turkey was for journalists were writing anything their thirty's might consider and turkish on par with terrorists the problem with press freedom in turkey stands mainly from the legal framework it has to be reformed and it has to be fundamentally reform in order for turkey to

stop conflating terrorism with journalism turkish officials promised. asked the vet member of proposal to parliament that laws be changed to improve the treatment of journalists at the time the country's news agencies quoted the turkish deputy prime minister who responded to this report for us the number is not important we are greatly saddened even by one journalist being jailed for their rights and drawings journalism activities most jail reporters have been incarcerated over their legit connection to again a con a deeply secret anti government organisation most of whose members have never been identified and which exists many believe only in official papers turkish journalists say affiliation with again ican is just one of many clever ways the government gets away with locking them up these. developments say this. press cart enough to qualify as journalists.
12:09 am
and that's of course a primitive reply. which befits will. be a prime minister who said people. have had prescott's journalism is about a popular career choice for young people in turkey the country boasts papers and a plethora of to be channels but in the current circumstances every report could end up being a one way ticket to jail. because i teach journalism in a university families of my students tell them go learn journalism but don't become journalists still a lot of young people feel it's a good way to express their view on the government the disagreement it's a popular career but a dangerous one this c.p.g. says turkish officials lose all their legislative powers not just incarcerate journalists but also scare them from reporting anything the government doesn't like
12:10 am
a tactic that won't deter people like nadine because this is there's no fear my trial continues i may be out of jail but i'm still facing a fifteen year term and in turkey anything can happen the police can accuse me of anything but being a member of a terror group for example someone can send them an anonymous letter nail used as evidence and i'll be back behind bars. in turkey. i t. . struggling to get its economy back on track the u.k. is knocking on in these door it is the british prime minister day in new delhi where he's looking to bolster trade ties david cameron says he wants a special partnership between the two nations have also become the first serving pm to voice regret over one of the british empire bloodiest episodes cameron more lay a wreath at the. scene of an a tourist massacre of unarmed civilians despite these major new delhi appears cautious over any potential new partnership the indian premier expressing concerns

12:12 am
we have to be realistic i mean the governor of the bank of england in king himself said that we're only halfway through the global economic crisis if that be so then we're looking at two thousand and eighteen as the early stage when we're going to come out of this crisis so until then i think most of these targets are mostly aspirational and i would be surprised if these are not meant. the stories we are covering what you had. today you will find everlasting social networking habits a brand new online app will soon alliance which he uses to keep posting from beyond the grave check out exactly on our website and also that the death of russia's mafia godfather grandpa means a serious reshuffle in the criminal world to find out why gangster get together is in two different moscow restaurants didn't turn out all that well for the most a hundred crooks.

i welcome back what is the greatest tool to secure america's future influence is it the military troops. well it could be something as simple as education. expects. the u.s. is investing in potential for invaders by educating them in america convinced that back in their home countries when the time comes most of them will side with u.s. interests impair our future generations of political leaders who've had a positive american experience and they are more likely to be global partners leave us mahmoud jibril could be one example having studied in the u.s. he went on to become the head of libya's transitional government he's now the leader of one of the country's biggest political parties there's little doubt which country he would favor when it comes to dividing lucrative oil deals in the future
12:16 am
u.s. foreign service officers had their eye on him even before the revolution broke out a leaked diplomatic cable from november two thousand and nine written by the u.s. ambassador to libya gene credits described mr general as quote a serious interlocutor who quote unquote gets the u.s. perspective and of course mr gibril is not the only one who gets the u.s. perspective i'm not going to measure how many kids were really just on a program what i'm going to do is look at where they are five years later and you know what ninety two percent of the people who go on u.s. government exchanges go on to work in civil society positions in the parliament or in an engine sariah took a two year course in public diplomacy in two thousand and six at the university of south in california in this particular program this was. every single lecture has a state department member this. so you know that you're not really learning public

relations. how to implement. the u.s. trade and development agency an offshoot of the state department's u.s.a. id claims that what they call aid is actually investment agencies deputy director says every one dollar they invest they get eight dollars back in u.s. exports america's officials maintain that it's hard to overestimate the benefits of thing this thing in public diplomacy the investment i do not call it spending it's an investment it's absolutely an investment and there's a return on investment. and it's very hard to quantify that return completely but i can tell you that you could quantify it in troops but you don't have to stand somewhere so i never pursued a career with the training she were seen. it was interfering in other countries i mean i may not be fond of the government in iran but i support
12:18 am
a hundred percent it's not pretty and i was sitting in this class. lectures and people saying how do we think the market i would be undermined the government so for me it was a real challenge to see the program through this age and was there less definitely or so the soviet union like in two thousand and seven when i was in the program they had or distorted the push towards africa diplomacy is good business as has been made clear by the state of parkman time and time again getting foreign leaders and their advisors to think in english and to subsequently favor the united states in their policy is much cheaper than bombing their country so the state department will certainly be more forceful in their efforts at exercising power in washington i'm going to check on. that coming up out of paper a new method of making a living tissue by printing could be of great medical benefit but a danger in the wrong hands we explain why in

demand in asia with the u.k.'s problem with millions of home struggling with fuel poverty being echoed all across the european union right now is it the european consumer has been hardest hit by these sanctions we've been speaking from industry insiders to find out what they think so obviously you've got the private companies then sort of carrying out political decisions are having very tough economic as they always say today looks like they all will and gas companies sort of in bed with the government i don't i don't see that we are taught i think the politicians around the world have to make the decisions companies have to get on with business technology business commercial business and now always the way with iran oil being used as a political weapon and i wouldn't use that sort of phrase i mean i think it's always the case as years go by governments around the world seppala says on trade and other things become part of the company's job is to acquire the best technology in the best in the best commerce to comply with whatever the environment is at the
12:21 am
time to get the best deal for can seem is ultimately ultimately that's the job yes it can seem as if saying right now the gas and oil prices see the real the best think yes you're right on the best thing we can do is invest so i unfortunately of the age of easy or oil and cheap oil i think is past but we're finding more oil the technology is getting better and better what we've got to do is to ensure it doesn't peak on the best thing that we can do is to get the technology deployed get the best work practices get the financing and get additional oil production because that's the best thing the companies can do to dampen assert right the potential rising prices thank you very much for joining us thank you so. well the sanctions on iran were triggered by western clangs the country seeking to build an atomic bomb r.t. caught up with the man many suggest prevented the u.s. from taking military action against iran's controversial nuclear program the full interview as i did today here not a bit here is a quite pretty. good judgment that we made was that it was
12:22 am
a political decision to halt the weaponization portions of its program it continued to fizzle material as a material was the pacing element is that the. at the time required to go from physical material. we did it was shorter than the time for material. but they've halted it. for. terminology we used was because of international scrutiny and pressure but that sense it was a political decision it was a matter of a technical problem. or a change in geo political situation they still lived in a tough neighborhood. that they could turn this program back on again at any time and we also said in that release part we weren't sure we would know if they turned it back on.
12:23 am

12:25 am
implants kidney cells and even healing tissue now three d. bio printing essentially squirts of the living cells to build up to shoot structure eventually biomedical engineer is hoped to print out taylor tissue suitable for surgery and entire organs that can be used in transplants experts say that ideally they would like to create organs for those that are on lists waiting for organs and possibly you know in life circumstances in dire life circumstances so pioneers of this bio printing believe it will be a huge benefit to to the public and to the medical community to i could essentially use photographs of you and then create a three d. image of you which is quite scary because with these three d. printing if we don't know how far will go how far will develop and to know that
12:26 am
a stranger can find a piece of your hair or your cigarette but if you smoke or a glass that you drank out of or even a few pictures of you and create a three d. facial structure of you is is a bit terrifying i mean forget about surveillance and privacy issues knowing that a stranger could do something like that view it doesn't mean it doesn't keep a sense of calm within the public and this is just the start of it who knows how it will develop five years from now maybe a person can be cloned or a parent person can be replicated between their photographs between the hair and their d.n.a. and between them and also add to that the virtual identity that most people have created for themselves online through social media through uses of skype through e-mail essentially there's a footprint of someone everywhere be it through your hair or your activity online
