now to central midnight military whistleblower bradley manning says he wanted americans to know the true costs of war as he faces two decades behind bars for the biggest ever leak of u.s. state secrets. about a bruising for britain's prime minister voters kick his conservatives into third place in a key election by a surging anti e.u. party. and the u.s. policymakers give up trying to avert a debt crisis leaving america's staring at one thousand five billion dollars budget cuts now with a run for patience will be felt beyond the united states. good morning if you just joined us this is our t. is just after midnight in moscow one is kevin first u.s. army whistleblower bradley manning could get twenty years in prison for what he

describes as an attempt to reveal quote the blood lust and disregard for human life in the american military manning pleading guilty to ten lesser charges out of twenty two he's facing for the biggest leak of state secrets in u.s. history it could though help him escape the most serious charge of aiding the enemy which carries a life sentence or to america's andrew blake was in the court. they spent over one thousand days as detainment since he was first picked up in may two thousand and ten and charged with releasing all this material and since then he's had to undergo so much just completely agree just treatment nonetheless yesterday there he was is a small man only five foot two you know off one hundred and some odd pounds sitting very calm very collectively very cool right in front of the judge and read a thirty five page statement pretty much owning up to every single that the government has accused him of for the last three years and it was people expected him to go ahead and plead guilty but the way in which he actually honored what he

did himself in the way that he actually still to this day is ok with with releasing information and is aware of the significance i think really shows this was someone who had committed to doing something and was aware aware of the repercussions and is ok with that in the press room there was a couple dozen of us gathered yesterday and just after around noon local time when p.f.c. manning finished reading his thirty five page statement he turned his microphone off it's done testifying and a handful of members of the press gallery actually journalists began applauding it was something that people had waited for a long time to keep him on the only other time we've ever heard p.f.c. manning speak at length is when he spent hours discussing the treatment that he injured in a military brig in quantico something that the united nations special rough its war on torture completely completely condemned so yesterday though here he was actually speaking speaking very truthfully and with power about what he did and why he did

it and i think that resonated with a lot of people it became something not just a trial about someone who is convicted of the of accused of spying and subjected to torture but the trial of someone who was actually aware that things needed to change and he thought he might be able to actually do that by blowing the whistle. what is one important been closely following bradley manning's co since his arrest for so turning to whether the harsh conditions of his to turn should may have driven him to plead guilty sure has been a rough ride since bradley manning was arrested in may two thousand and ten for the first ten months of his incarceration the former army intelligence analyst was held in solitary confinement for twenty three hours a day in a six by eight foot cell windowless cell forced to sleep naked without bed sheets and kept on suicide watch during that time hundreds of scholars experts human rights advocates as well were signing petitions and letters to have him released

from what was dubbed draconian conditions essentially called torture many critics would argue that manning was essentially forced into pleading guilty on ten charges because of the conditions he has been held in by the u.s. government but at the end of the day when manning stood up and owned up to what he did he still made no apologies for it and some of the comments he said was that he wanted his intention was to start a pay within the u.s. about america's foreign policy how u.s. was behaving that was his intention are releasing classified information he said he believed the u.s. reputation would not be damaged by the u.s. but he said in essence be embarrassed he also believes that americans had the right to know true cost of war he went on and on and made lots of comments as you mentioned thirty five page statement he read but at the end of the day he did explain what he did why he did it and from what i've been told and read about he is

minos apologies for his behavior for his actions. or bradley manning's police statement contains some pretty powerful words which are being picked up by many around the world here of some of the most striking extracts from what he said to say this day look for me it was like a child torturing and with a magnifying glass that said he felt about the infamous video from iraq we've just seen showing journalists and children attacked by american helicopter crew he said he was sickened by the blood lust money also believes that revealing all this to the american public could spark debate on the u.s. military and foreign policy in general he said he was trying to push society to reconsider counterterrorism operations which neglect the human aspect so he described the actions of the u.s. military he says here we are obsessed with capturing and killing human targets on lists and ignoring goals and missions. welp someone who knows what it's like

to take on a government by blowing the whistle on wrongdoing is former our five agent and she says manning has done the people a great service at least to those who struggle to reveal the truth behind u.s. helicopter attacks in iraq. for years the families of the victims both from reuters journalists and a traumatized iraqi families pushed the pentagon to find out what had happened in that attack and the pentagon lied years saying that there was no video taken out so they didn't know what had happened so by exposing this bradley manning again close peace gave our answers to these traumatized families that's been lied to repeatedly by the pentagon i think it's also interesting one other aspect around this is that he tried to give this information to other mainstream media outlets to begin with the washington post the new york times and the politico web site and he was dismissed and in fact in the washington post said that if this was if they were going to follow this information it would need to be that it is a senior level i.e.

suppressed so what we're seeing is the old model do not respond to this amazingly brave push towards transparency to inform the american people what is done in their name so he went to eat and i think that shows very clearly the wrong place is a publisher of sensitive information and publishing such sensitive information it allows the citizens of the globe to realize what is done by governments and to hold their governments to account and to try and push for justice just as the bout the families of the dead iraqis and reuters journalists have been pushing for justice so this is an amazing service he's done to people. while they were rights activists proclaimed bradley manning a hero prosecutors of course going all out to prove that our qaeda benefited from access to the league data we're asking you what you think running a poll or r.t. dot com the question is where asking who is bradley manning was it when telling us thanks for taking part of your of so far there's almost a half of it was fifty percent last forty nine think it's a scapegoat of the war games were still blows thirty five percent of you see him as

a martyr to the cause of free speech that is slightly up this hour nine percent of you think he's just a naive idealist all my thoughts but i have read both of them and far between eight . nine and seven as you can see is not all it shows a seven percent agree with the prosecutors that he's guilty of high treason you can make that change that graph all to r.t. dot com is the place to tell us what you think if you haven't done so yet please. britain's voters have dealt prime minister david cameron

a serious blow as governing coalition conservative party's been shunted back to a poor third indeed in a key by election eastley the u.k. dependence party surged into second place meantime while the beleaguered liberal democrats held on to the say despite it becoming vacant because of one of their former cabinet ministers having to quit over a driving offense scandal as for ukip though it is now the third time of course they've come a second in a by election the main parties dismissing it as protest votes but analysts say the group's stance on putting the e.u. and immigration have some genuine traction with voters leader nigel farage told a few keeps increasing popularity means they will soon be able he thinks to influence mainstream politics. i think there is a feeling i share it that we now are run by a political class of people they all go to the same schools they all go to the same oxford colleges they all take the same degrees they all marry each other sisters i think it unlikely that we're going to the biggest party in westminster in twenty fifteen but what we could well do is we could well catalyze some sort of

realignment of british politics was we draw our votes from across the spectrum it is pretty clear to me that the conservative party is now going through i think just just about its deepest crisis in history there are two distinct wings of the conservative party they don't agree with each other on virtually anything and i think if you get gets much stronger than it is today we could see something really new and really quite exciting and well as you can imagine and piece of the prime minister's party furious and the pressures on david cameron to do something about it to paris could he runs a center right think tank within the conservative party is on the line now joining us from london either ben good evening to you oh dear what exactly is making people turn to this new party were of course the core of what they talk about is immigrants in europe that's something your party used to talk about what went wrong . well you can actually take you back to ninety ninety seven in the election of tony blair in the adoption of third way politics in britain since then the sort of

things that nigel farage has been talking about the third way politician drawn from a very narrow group of people a lot of them very hard to discern. from one another characters in many ways the same and so when you see someone like nigel farage or boris johnson come out i think it could be quite effervescent and it can excite the political spectrum and cause anomalous results like the one in eastley say did the job at least we didn't it now we've heard one tory member say you kipps attracted support from wavering working class and indeed may otherwise have voted conservative you've got a job on your hands to win the back of you. well i think the conservative party does absolutely need to think very carefully about grassroots conservative values values that have been drawing people to the conservative party for twenty thirty forty fifty years in some cases and i think it's important the conservative party

the leadership within the party listen to those values and and return to them i think if we see that like with david cameron's speech on europe then the significance of ukip will be far we can claim what you think about the fact the prime minister brush this off as a protest vote is that a bit dangerous with just two years to go now to a general election and by the looks of it easily at least a ukip gathering to stay. well i think you can will probably do very well in the twenty fourteen european elections we've got to remember is ukip don't have any members of parliament the green party even has one member of parliament so i don't there is any concern of his knowledge or for arjun self admits of ukip becoming a significant political force in westminster but what it does do is send a very clear message to the leadership of the conservative party that it's time to return to conservative values because that's where you keep taking a lot of conservative votes i wonder if it will bring thoughts about

a referendum any closer cameron said that if you were to get in twenty fifty did me that he will introduce this referendum that it will happen about the e.u. do you think you have to deal with it soon or. i don't think you will i think the only thing david cameron can do is look at moving an act of parliament with consensus cross party on the issue of referendum to fix a date for the referendum in at some point in the term of the next parliament so for example and acts could go through parliament to say there will be a referendum the first of may twenty seventh i don't think david cameron will be able to have a referendum. remember david cameron has said that he actually wants to look at renegotiation the balance of power between the united kingdom and the european union and if you going to do that that's going to take quite a long time so it's certainly going to take longer than than twenty fifteen

possibly longer than twenty seventy because what david cameron is saying is that we don't want to pull out of europe in the european union but we want to get a much better deal so if we're going to be given time to get that better deal by the people of britain i think that's what british people want then it's probably going to need to be in the next parliament european immigration to blow apart the conservative party before is the chance now the camera's going to reconsider all that. but they're here by what's just out there eastley. well i mean i i'm keen to know exactly what nigel farage his strategy is on immigration in terms of of course he wants to pull out of the european union but the u.k. independence party has no chance of offering a referendum in the in the foreseeable future the next ten years i think at the very least you kipper not going to be a significant force in westminster politics so you've got to look at the labor

party the conservative party and to a lesser extent the liberal democrats as party is that a girl for a referendum now the only party that has pledged that referendum is the conservative party and in ten years time if we wait for what nigel for ours is saying will be ukip as a significant force in westminster then imagine all of the immigrants that would have come in from europe in that time so what nigel farage is not actually is not actually offering a solution to this problem and he's criticising the conservative party and i think there is making some important points of the conservative party need to look at but ultimately we go think about what are we going to do about this in the conservative party is the only party offering a real solution to this in the short to medium term ben-hur as quickly ed of the bow group think tank within the conservative party thank you for your thoughts on the program tonight. thank you very much i hope you can stay with us this is our t. live from moscow coming up stopped by america the cuts come in the decision makers

on capitol hill of. their own to agree how to stave off the eighty five billion dollars of cuts which will start in a few hours what's that going to mean for americans and the rest of us will be finding out shortly and access denied a court rules the u.s. prosecutors have to share their evidence falls with on one entrepreneur. closer to extradition for internet. i've got a lot of messages from our t.v. viewers who are very concerned about drones living under skynet is not the american way and many are concerned about their safety and privacy congressman ted poe has introduced a bill that may address some people's concerns about drones this bill is the preserving american privacy act what's clear if i see how the government can use

these drugs so basically the act adds bureaucracy to drone usage in order to restrict it in theory protecting people's privacy. the thing is that one side is arguing for drone usage and the other side for bureaucratic restricted drone usage but what about not using drones to spy on americans ever no drones should be used on american territory period and overseas they seem to breed more terrorists than they kill saying that there are only two sides to this issue for drones and well kind for drones is absurd congressman poe if you would please be so kind as to change the name of your legislation to the drones are an acceptable form of tyranny act i would be very grateful to you sir but that's just my opinion. a look at america staring at eighty five billion dollars with cuts in the next few

politicians on both sides failed to breakthrough in last ditch talks the sequester as it's no big reductions in military and domestic spending explains why this could prove a worldwide headache. let me begin with where the sequester comes from for a long time congress has been in gridlock over what to cut paralyzed but everybody knows spending cuts are absolutely necessary to balance the budget at some point washington came to conclusion that only ineptness fear of crisis they can solve something so they many fractured the crisis not the first time by the way they're actually getting into the habit of doing that the previous one was the fiscal cliff two months ago now it's the sequester let's see who may soon pay for washington's self scaring tactics nationwide seven hundred fifty thousand jobs are on the line the thing about automatic cuts is that agencies in the partners don't get to decide what to put on the cutting board it's supposed to cut the defense funding by ten percent now a lot of people think that the pentagon's humongous budget does need some serious

trimming until now congress has been generally reluctant to do that and the pentagon's budget only grew but the sequester doesn't care what to cut so it's going to cut that around support programs and other things that are going to hurt thousands of people in the military the cuts could also lead to the closing of hundreds of air control towers making it harder for planes to take off and land and reduce the number of border patrol agents would lead to delays at the ports of entry among other things also six hundred thousand women will lose assistance from the government's women infants and children program as a result of cuts to federal spending on local education ten thousand teachers and eight thousand other staff could lose their job again nationwide than this one the fact each and every state no except in no exception excuse me just a few examples and i don't know a state kentucky eleven thousand civilians working for the pentagon are facing possible unpaid leave their state of illinois we can take would see half

a billion dollars in cuts to spending for law enforcement and crime prevention. in virginia ninety thousand civilian defense the department employees would also be for a long. and it's not just the states it's no breaking news that we now live in a very interconnected world and that this manufactured storm created on capitol hill will most certainly cause ripples across the globe the i.m.f. confirms that they're saying there will be an impact on global growth economy start talking about how vulnerable european markets are one economist is writing this could further delay the european recovery recovery just long enough for something to go wrong in one country and send europe into a severe contraction and that would have a backlash in the us pretty powerful for an artificial crisis the sequester maybe a manufactured crisis but a very because deficit problem is not it is very real the country is running

a huge deficit washington keeps spending and borrowing but fails to balance the budget and economists say that could have serious long term effects on the global economy in washington i'm going to check and well before the talks broke president obama said the u.s. can get through the deep budget cuts but admitted loves going to get tougher economist richard wolfe told me the american people should prepare for the worst. republicans and democrats alike are committed to an austerity policy as we do in see it in europe their only disagreement is exactly who gets cut whose axes get raised and i'm very pessimistic as are most observers in washington that we are about to do what britain italy greece have done with the same dire consequences looming in our future if you cut government spending as we're about to do if you raise taxes on average people which we did on january first with the rise in the payroll tax those are

a double whammy two hits on our economy they depress the economy they lose people jobs they make people cut back in their spending with less jobs and less bending government tax revenues go down and that you races whatever benefit you might have imagined what condon the government's budget the irony is the economy gets worse and the government budget gets worse until they wake up and realize that this is an inappropriate way to go at a time of economic crisis let's remember the budget deficit of the government took off in two thousand and seven and eight which is because we had a crisis if you solve the deficit without dealing with the under lying prices it will not work much more comment on it throughout the night to now russia's taking over the monthlong presidency of the u.n. security council the country's envoy to the world body told me about moscow's plans for its time in charge. it's looking like

a very crowded month of march the highlight of our presidency is going to be a ministerial debate on afghanistan the mandate of the u.n. mission in afghanistan is going to be extended for another year and that of course is going to be very important for afghanistan with the upcoming presidential elections in april of two thousand and fourteen also of course the big important decision or talks to be had about what to do with syria next a big schism amongst a very she remembers about what is the best thing to do how is russia going to try and bring people together than over the next month our position is very simple we believe that the violence must stop and for that dialogue must be established without precondition and the government are saying that there were outlined of their negotiating team and their outline their proposals for dialogue unfortunately in the past few days the opposition seems to have been backtracking from the original statement which was made by the leader of the national coalition is the about readiness to go into dialogue with the with the syrian government this is the

key issue without dialogue i'm afraid and without the political will on the part of all syrians all the main stakeholders in that country the international community can do much of course the syrian opposition very much in the news again today they've been promised more lethal help from the u.s. if that's the case where is the lethal support coming from do you think was russia's view on the united states for a number of reasons chooses not to sell its hands with direct supply of weapons to to the armed groups because among them there are some terrorists and others with whom the united states would prefer not to be associated but at the same time the they give a wink and a nod to those who provide direct military aid to do rebel armed groups like to talk for a moment about the latest in iran no still sir no significant breakthrough of course in those talks in kazakstan iran said they were. in some ways positive but

the general consensus was not a lot was done in the talks further talks were agreed what are your thoughts about the six brought new proposals to the table with active participation of russia in the process was anything radically new even though we know in kazakhstan. well. not really a radical new but there are some new important elements which should make it more attractive for the iranians to finally enter into negotiations on the core of the matter. i think yes going to the full interview with the un envoy vitaly churkin com a website streaming whenever you want to see it there too as well were talking about the cancer concern for japan many saw it coming it seems it's happening now the world health organization says the fukushima nuclear disaster could see a seventy percent increase in young girls developing thyroid complications so they're also online to the investigation into whether former french leader nicolas sarkozy was illegally bankrolled by libya's moammar gadhafi before of course being

part of the push to ousted. online entrepreneur kim dotcom is a step closer tonight to being extradited to the united states from new zealand that appeals court overturned a ruling that would have allowed him and three co-defendants broad access to the evidence against them the four accused of massive copyright fraud through dotcoms mega upload file sharing website the extradition hearing set for august dot com says he can't be held accountable for other people using his site to illegally download songs and films his lawyers plan to appeal to new zealand supreme court which could then further perspire the extradition hearing earlier dot com told us that online freedom is completely at the mercy of governments access what i have learned since i got dragged into this case is a lot about privacy abuses about the government spying on people they're not spying on individuals based on

a warrant anymore they just spy on everybody permanently all the time and what that means for you and anybody is if you are ever a target of any kind of investigation or someone has a political agenda against you or a prosecutor doesn't like you or put the police wants to interpret something in a way to get you in trouble they can use all that data go through it with the with the comb and find the things even though we think of nothing to hide and done nothing wrong right now we are living very close to this vision of george of war and i think it's not the right way you know it's a wrong path that the government's on thinking that they can spy on everybody. world news headlines in brief first to iraq their two deadly blasts have struck a crowded livestock market five people died in the bombings which are the shia dominated city in the south no one's admitted those attacks a day of violence on thursday to saw

a series of explosions targeting shiite neighborhoods killing at least twenty two there's been a worrying rise in sectarian violence in iraq in recent weeks and there are fears it could descend into a civil conflict witnessed a year a decade ago after the u.s. led invasion. i recall form that southern new delhi hospital where a seven year old girl was treated after she was raped at school they threw stones at police vehicles or the mother the suspects face justice two teachers at a security guard in question over attacking a child intense protests over sexual violence against women and girls has grown since that deadly gang rape of a student last december. south korean place protesting gathered in front of the u.s. embassy in seoul they're demanding an end to the country's joint military exercises which started friday war games always stoked deep anger in north korea which is called the drills proof of american a still a take it's also vowing quote miserable destruction end quote if the two countries do go ahead although the threats have never been acted on. actually listen to all

the attempts to destroy them on the spot mailing section of the berlin wall property developers have permission now to tear it down and build a luxury apartment on top of it but police were forced to halt the demolition of the twenty three metre long segment of protesters still on the site try and save what's left of the wall it's seen as a focal point of germany's recent history. looking at the clock exactly twenty nine and a half minutes now past midnight let's catch up with natasha she said with the business side of tasha weigh in on the big story tonight the word in the words lives sequestration the americans first of all avoid falling of that cliff just now they're going to be crushed by cuts year while we've entered the arrow. perpetual fiscal policy crises in the united states and in the business wars and we are going to try and help you make sense of all this and try to figure out what it means for europe and for russia all of this it would take to knock on effect so obviously absolutely it's coming up after

a very right. they're serving us that leaves just like their mother.

little ones born in prison. most of the crimes committed by their parents. killed babies on our street. it's thirty one minutes past the hour here in moscow you're watching business on archie with me not the shi'ites co welcome to the program when these so-called sequester deadline inevitably approaching threatening u.s. economic recovery president barack obama on friday met with congressional leaders to try and avert the eighty five billion dollars automatic federal budget cuts while it didn't work there was the no last minute deal the cuts will start midnight saturday boughts the political drama in washington aside the cuts will also have very real consequences for average americans mill. terry education

environmental programs social services they are all going to lose and it's nothing new that any budget spending cut result in slower growth so what we see increasingly scary headlines out of the united states well that's the question i asked him from a story limited in london is that he's. going to surely we are going to see those headlines especially given the fact that it's been built into such a big deal by the politicians by the father you've got the democrats and republicans. bottling it out against each other trying to place the blame for the sequester on you the policy of not going to build the headlines not going to create these scary headlines in the short term in the longer term i don't really see it having too much of an impact in particular on the markets if we take a look at the fiscal cliff at the end the last year if we were we went over the cliff we would have built around four percent of g.d.p. in this year alone now if we take a look at the sequester that's only expect this to knock around no point five

percent of u.s. g.d.p. this year so by comparison it's much smaller and therefore think in the longer term it's not going to be as big an issue but i do think initially we are going to see those much scarier headlines but purely driven by the fact that i think the politicians have built this to be a big a bigger deal than it really is but all that political drama and washington aside the u.s. national national debt is topping seventeen trillion dollars so the question is is it really possible to. you know to to improve the situation short to medium term considering the fact i think we've got a difficult they've got a real difficult road ahead you've got to the you've got to have that balance of growth but also deficit reduction like you say the u.s. national debt and i was seventeen trillion dollars but at the same time we need to continue that growth will grow expecting growth of just above two percent this year that's much lower than we became of course them soon in the u.s. it's a pretty two thousand and eight so trying to find that balance you can't have one

and it completely ignore you that's what we've seen so far that's why the national . that's got so high not balances what the really struggling with at the moment i don't think the funding the policy and the don't think we're going to find it in the short term think it's still going to be a lot more emphasis on growth at least for the next year or so and i think we're going to continue to see the national debt creep higher things going to see the debt ceiling raised again in may and probably again later on this year. and while they're looking for that balance some economists say that young americans especially but americans in general they become increasingly cynical and increasingly pessimistic about their future and centrally saying that they're not going to live nearly as well as their parents and their grandparents and that this trend is actually spreading to europe would you agree with that a throws i think your it's probably a step ahead all you have to do is take a look at greece and spain and see that youth unemployment is a poor fifty percent i mean that's an incredibly high number and it is going to take its toll on these young people's careers in the future so i think they're

actually already people are already very cynical they're already very pessimistic in the eurozone so i think really i think it's more the us catching up with the eurozone than the eurozone actually touching it with the u.s. at the moment while there is certainly an issue in the u.s. and the more we start to see these spending cuts and more we start to see this see this this fiscal deficit surely try to try to overcome this fiscal deficit to reduce the fiscal deficit i think we are going to see exacerbated even further. and as the united states delivers a self-inflicted blow to its economy the emerging markets can hardly feel on harmed they will see the ripple effects from the sequester related cuts that's according to william will send a senior researcher of emerging markets at skolkovo business school in moscow he explained how it will hurt russia. anything that slows down the u.s. economy in the next year or two has to slow down the global economy including

emerging markets now the biggest impact on russia would be the impact visa v. energy prices because the u.s. is still importing twelve million barrels of oil each and every day so that demand slows down you're going to see a drop in global energy prices and that's how and that's the way it would have the biggest impact on russia's economy and let's now see what's going on in the markets to see where we stand at the end of this week on wall street where trade is active the sour the stocks were moving sideways but the indices are actually staying in the positive territory at the moment there are two conflicting issues that investor is had to face today the federal spending cuts on the one hand and better than expected manufacturing consumer confidence data on the other now europe closed mixed on friday on disappointing manufacturing data and record high unemployment the footsie managed to and the day more than a quarter percent higher or just over that with service sector companies leading

the way but the dax closed in the red as you can see right there on to the currencies the euro dipped below one thirty to the dollar on friday for the first time in two months again weak manufacturing stats rising unemployment mainly those two factors here in russia as you can see the ruble a lost to the dollar but gained to the single currency i want to comes to stocks here in moscow the indices ended the week in the red losing one point six percent and under one percent for the mice x. and not sponsor prizing oil prices dropped and europe was down or all kali m.t.s. ross telecom performed better than the market machel no attack with the biggest losers down around three percent each. b.p. chief a robber dudley may soon join the board of russia's biggest oil company rosneft in fact the world's biggest sense it will overcome the current number one x.

and mobile once it completes its fifty five billion dollar takeover of p b if you will get two seats on ross nath's board after increasing its stake in the company to just under twenty percent and not support of the deal to sell its stake and he and k.v. dudley is the former chief of t m k b p but he chose to leave russia in two thousand and eight and in an escalating scandal with b.p.'s russian partners a are. those who have been to moscow know that it's one of the most expensive cities in the world but now we know why it's actually the world's billionaire capital ols eighty people from the short list of the richest say they live in the russian capital new york is the close second with somebody billionaires and hong kong is number three with fifty four billionaires now all nandan comes fifth just behind behind beijing. and that's

all latest from us in business in just a couple of minutes here on our t.v. we speak to libya's interim former prime minister to see what the future holds for this embattled country. it's. there are twelve cities in the united states in which half of the people with hiv aids lives within a year of a diagnosis of. over six to two percent. i diagnosed with aids this is a problem that frankly is substantially preventable it was like the big elephant in the room and nobody wanted to talk about it there were really good public health campaigns that people were really focused on this problem you certainly should be able to a lot less a lot less human suffering. because powell

was the envy of emperor as he had good reason to trust no one. his body was found on the floor of his huge empty house. but did he die of natural causes. the mystery of stalin still want to see. that speech.

good. line of a little. would you really be an politician former high ranking official with a cut off a garment and also the former leader of the libyan revolutionary council in two thousand and eleven it's great to have you again with r.t.

sir true back to libya has made progress after the revolution and problem into elections were held your party won by your party the national forces alliance but then the constitution your house to be drafted and country remains still much under control of the revolutionary groups and militias who you tell us who holds real power right now in libya. where. power and in the future it's going on for sure since the trysts with the with the loosely to buddy in with the government you know but realistically speaking who holds power of who holds guns you know so in a sense so there is. this because to me between the poet and an official podium hopefully you know with the with the progress that we are involved in right now with those developments that some sort of compatibility between the two can be compete struck you know libya is probably the only example of the arab spring country that was able to pick up its economy after the revolution if you look at

the other countries that underwent the arab spring we get the sense that instead of prosperity they got rather insecurity wife. well first of all libya did not pick up it's a kind of its economy did not pick up only the oil production was to resume you know and it's a pity you know because the. foreign countries you know. rushed into libya immediately you know to start pumping more leg again because it's connected to their way of life to their economies you know while barrister projects all over the country are still intact they're still as they were left in the seventeenth of february you know so. if it was not for this drop of libya would be in the same situation like egypt and tunisia today you know so it's always the libyan economy in general.
