captured peacekeepers are human shields in the disputed golan heights despite the un for their immediate release. the u.n. security council unanimously voted to adopt more sanctions on north korea following pyongyang's nuclear tests last month. bolshoi ballet dancer. could spend up to twelve in prison. and attack on his artistic director soloist admitted his involvement but said splashing acid on his boss the plan. around the world on screen on international news and comment. this is.

the u.n. is demanding the immediate release of a group of its peacekeepers taken hostage by syrian rebels in the going on heights the militants say they're using the observers as human shields and will hold them until syrian government forces pull back from a nearby village middle east correspondent has the details. all twenty one you in personnel were unarmed they're all from the philippines and we've heard from the philippines foreign office who has demanded their immediate release the philippines government says that they are being treated well that negotiations are underway to try and secure the release of the militants are admitting that they took these u. n. personnel to try and prevent an attack by assad's loyalists in other words what we're seeing is that the rebel forces are using this you emptying as human shields now the un has of course condemned this act this action we've heard criticism particularly from moscow at the united nations there is no reason at all under any

circumstances any kind of a sick imagination to try to harm harm those people so clearly gross disrespect for united nations gross disrespect of international norms of behavior now the united nations is currently also involved in the go shake their immediate release according to the united nations its team were on a regular mission in the area we're talking about an area not far from the israeli syrian border that happened earlier on wednesday when they were taken hostage the u.n. teams came under fire from the syrian rebels last year and a group also sees near the jordanian border this january when it's get more on the hostage crisis now from the syrian national coalition ambassador to france does your organization represent these rebels these hostage takers. the syrian opposition in general and even the syrian free army absolutely again is

a need who is taking principally we don't agree with it and do not need of are looking to him to use this as a political. instrument so what are you going to about it are you going to a lot of guys are you going to ask these people to release these hostages right away do you have control over these rebels these hostage takers. we have not consulted before making this operation but anyway we are we will tell them this or told that we don't approve this kind of measurements absolutely and that that is. given by themselves said that they are not looking absolutely to make a prisoner of war hysteria simply they were afraid that the syrian official army could use them as human shields and they out of trying to. protect them this is the science of the operation and i am not sure that they will never have

been kept. there will be very very soon relives but this this whole incident has really damaged your reputation has and it is now in danger of now you losing support from the west when it seems that you have no control the s.n.c. has no control of what's happening on the ground in syria. i have already told you out again it's just kind of of war and particularly today i i would like to underline the timing of this operation it is very bad timing and i suspect the syrian regime is trying to do something to you is this is this is in his a prophet because yesterday the league has approved with that the theory and coalition should be exemplars of syria and the arab league and this will open a window that the theory and coalition could also take the place of the theory of

syria as a united nations and ultimately this also could could could make some measurements toward to to take all the in but is a broad and is this time i suspect that the syrian regime was doing something to have such kind of results then we have never you know outside of thought but nevertheless let me ask you is this not an indication the extremist groups are in effect hijacking your cause and they will be capitalizing on the chaos there in syria and indeed it's the extremists who are getting support from the west with weapons and they are not those who generally want a true revolution and a change of regime your whole mission could in effect be hijacked by extremists now is not an indication of what's happening. i am sure that

there is no help from the west to this the group absolutely the syrian free army. but of fighters on the ground there are some groups. who are of out of any control you can do or what they like but i suspect even in this case. willing to do some kind of will perish and because it is not is a profit of them will. just quickly ask if you are so narrow exaggeration you are in france at the moment do you feel you really are getting enough support from not just france but western countries and the u.s. at the moment because we understand that some rebels are saying they are not getting enough support i don't think that they are getting and its support with down comforter is absolutely probably good to have some some help from somebody but finally. out of this invented things in this case

we are again in this action and again i ask you the zion national coalition that the syrian national coalition your whole aim do you feel as an organization you are getting enough support i have not understood your question is the syrian national coalition getting enough support from the west you're there in france but this crisis is going on and on and on and no not here changing no why not not yet how long do you have to wait until you hear about what you think. the only help push we get now is very small is it out in the field. now we don't have a new weapon the forms are with absolutely. which are used by me is always taken the put on. to be deposited when they. lie or. take in the main part of their report even lifted. through the

broad but is very little and it is not absolutely from there was there a problem. i really appreciate you talking to us live there in paris thank you very much indeed for joining us want to recruit syrian national coalition ambassador to france thank you for your time well leading up to the hostage crisis western powers and the arab allies have been stepping up support for the syrian rebels arab league ministers have decided to let member states and government fighters but some like germany have surprisingly warned against sending weapons to the militant opposition wellin is also so far remained hesitant over a training mission unlike britain and france and he has this report. this shift is on the heels of secretary of state john kerry announcing last week that the u.s. would finally provide direct aid to the syrian opposition and help push forward the two year fight to topple president assad the just here the non lethal aid opposition groups despite not being united are already getting plenty of cash arms

and training from friends in the region especially gulf states like saudi arabia caps our well not only were the rebels disappointed the u.s. isn't being more generous with their weapons they're having a bit of a laugh online check out this video that has emerged on facebook of fighters on the ground trying to survive on so-called non-lethal weapons take a closer look. a chair even what looks like some kind of sanitizing hand jealousy and later in the video you can hear what sounds like actual intent shelling at some point really the only defense these silly makeshift weapons surely many of civilians on the ground won't find this funny especially with the international community finally realizing the fact that sending more arms especially lethal arms could worsen an already dire situation most recently germany's foreign minister warning against sending arms to militants in syria saying that such a measure would broaden the conflict in the country and throughout the region. and

he said now with that anger in egypt with the city of port side once again the epicenter of the troubles egyptian police struggle could put the city which has been plagued with rest and violence for a fourth day we report on that for you later in the program. but first the bolshoi ballet dancer suspected of masterminding an attack on his artistic director is facing twelve years in jail together with two others involved in the assault charge of causing grievous bodily harm at thursday's pretrial hearing in a moscow court pavel dmitrichenko said he did order the attack but didn't mean for his boss to be splashed with acid. has been following the scandal. on march the sixteenth pavel dmitrichenko was due in the bolshoi theater behind me to take part in another great performance there he will not be there he will be staying in detention and least until april the eighteenth a judge has ordered that's when the

investigation will wrap up into this case of this acid attack possibly longer that was ordered by a pretrial at a pretrial detention hearing today and that was after mr ricci chain co had said that he did admit that he had committed a crime but he had colluded with his two accomplices and paid them about one and a half thousand dollars but he did not plead guilty to ordering them to throw acid in the face of surrogate fill in the direct the artistic director of the bolshoi theater there is a cloud of rumors circling around this case and there will be as long as it is as long as it goes on all of this stuff sort of starts to fall away from hard facts and it's a lot more based around rumor the police have said that as far as their statement goes that there was

a lot of animosity between surrogate fill in and pavel dmitrichenko and that the this attack was likely due to tensions at work beyond that though there is widespread rumors that it may have to do with me to change girlfriend also a famous dancer at the bolshoi who has been turned down by surrogate fill in more than once for lead roles in ballets there and that that may also may have had something to do with this fall out which resulted in this acid being thrown in surrogate felons face the trials will take its time to unravel all of this attention surrounded around these individuals and the bolshoi is making this theater and everyone connected with it famous for all the wrong reasons. never know there or entertainment correspondent martin andrews told my colleague about the

ugliest side to life on the stage at the bolshoi. in the front of the fifth you see a beautiful production but really the drama backstage is i think it's everyday life in a production house and that's what it is it's a factory from from the problems with the understudies from the problems because thing from the problems of of of management who were dances they were bitter about their faded career it's not an easy world to be in obviously the rivalries between companies within moscow and with the mets and the skull and they all want to be at the top of their game and tensions are always high and fraud and this is the first time we've had these sort of things happen right well this is certainly a very severe but there been other kind of scandals or this is this it's called drama for a reason if a year ago stravinsky's rite of spring was postponed and in fact one of the dances that. she was actually said that she was threatened by various people and she she

actually went over to canada in fear of her life in fear of that it would escalate beast and shins between the theatrical ballet world would escalate into violence and obviously as we see with the result. that happened in january it happens and this may reduce it down to a level of a cliche but we have this blockbuster movie black swan that cloud that's absolutely what is live with the black swan film not important it really highlights the you know the extremities and the tensions and especially with the with the management with the hiring in the firing it's everyday life and sometimes it can seem like a wonderful place to work but they reality is somewhat different. still to come this hour we examine venezuela's upcoming political transition after the death of its charismatic leader hugo chavez also ahead for you this hour breaking with tradition british voters a shutting the mainstream parties opting instead for alternatives to take

a closer look at the trend shortly after this break stay with us. they've been living this way since the seventeenth century. their rituals are strict. their communities on the selling. they clearly distinguish between their home and the aliens. and guard their family and things treasure. sigrid lumber touring to mccurdy was able to build a new most sophisticated robot which all unfortunately doesn't give a darn about anything tim's mission to teach creation why it should care about

the price for that nuclear test last month the un security council has unanimously condemned the test and now they also unanimously voted on a resolution to strengthen sanctions on north korea yet again the sanctions will target north korean banks and cash core years who might be funneling money to to the regime's nuclear and missile programs the resolution also outlines measures to step up scrutiny of suspicious sea shipments and air cargo and expense restrictions on several institutions and senior officials in north korea's weapons industry as well as a range of materials and technology known to be used as uranium enrichment this is just yet another round of sanctions on north korea you can say the world is united on that although china is north korea's ally it too condemned that test together with all other members of the security council north korea carried out a nuclear test in two thousand and six in two thousand and nine which prompted the security council to impose sanctions including a ban on the import of nuclear and missile technology and an arms embargo while two

months ago they tightened those sanctions against pyongyang in response to its december rocket launch and now there are some doubts on the a fact of those sanctions what's also contributing to the tension the u.s. and south korea started their joint military exercises this week the combination of sanctions and military drills by the u.s. and south korea has sent the isolated regime in pyongyang into a frenzy of threats north korea has called the annual drills an open declaration of war so further military buildup around north korea could actually to the simmering tensions. in egypt there's no sort of calm after four days of continual violence protests to set streets on foreign port saeed in a challenge to the state's authority or me and security forces were deployed to the scene the right in crawl to demanding the release of prisoners charged for their involvement. in a deadly stadium disaster in the city

a year ago well for more analysis i'm now joined by egyptian american journalist of democracy now sherry goodness he's there in coverage sharif do you think the death penalty is a fair verdict for these twenty one people. well this is the verdict that kid down really was something that was seen as a very politicized judgment in the eyes of many especially if you consider in the lights of the fact that over a thousand protesters that have died since the beginning of the revolution no senior police officer has been held accountable for any of their deaths and we have the sweeping judgment that is handed down twenty one death sentences against all of them found of a soccer team being handed down so i think in the eyes of many especially of course those imports this was seen as a politicized judgment and one that was seen to placate ultras a letter with the rival club of whom something more than some two of their friends

died in that soccer riot in february two thousand and twelve so we're still waiting to see what's going to happen in the second part of that verdict that's expected on saturday do you think perhaps with that second verdict the cool may take a more sofa stance bearing in mind the role this death sentence has caused. while of the verdict coming down on there's over seventy people charged in this case we have twenty one deaths such as that were handed down the other fifty people who are charged include security officials some members of the ministry of interior as well as city officials from port side as well as people working in the stadium and so forth. i think a many people expect that whatever the verdict comes down that some party will be angry either people important people in cairo or both if the security officials are seen as getting off with a very light. sentencer getting innocent. i think both sides will be very angry and

see this lingering sense of injustice that is hanging over egypt for the past two years when really good night on the streets of port sight and cairo so the government said so that what is going to happen exactly so the government is going to self in a really difficult position because as you say whatever decision is made there is going to be a violent reaction move on it is perhaps the situation going to get even worse now with this ignite the situation throughout the whole of egypt into a worse state than we've seen already. and again it's difficult to tell it's very difficult to predict in egypt all we can say is that that's something says that were handed out of january twenty sixth iraq to mass protests support site we saw over forty people killed and dead a matter of three days and portside clashes sparked four days ago it seemed six people killed three of the policeman that's really there has been under arrest

people since the second anniversary of the revolution across egypt across cities across the delta and. cities are really across the country so what remains to be seen exactly what is going to happen. but i think many expect further unrest given this verdict given the protests we're seeing now from ultrasonics here in cairo ahead of this the announcement on saturday let me just ask you one quick point and that is that morsi has recently proposed the allocation of some sixty million dollars to economic development in the region of course if people receive that sort of money in their pockets they're happier all day so in effect he tried to buy support here just briefly. when you just like anomic problems are very deep and run are very very severe an injection of that kind of small amount of cash for country. the size of egypt i don't think it's going to go

very far to alleviating any of the deep deep problems that we have with the with poverty here and with economic inequality so it seems that little has changed since the revolution in egypt with public protests full of bile and face class do you see any way out of this crisis now for the country. well i wouldn't say that nothing has changed there's been a significant change in the way that how the population deals with police abuse communities are no longer afraid to speak out and confront police abuse puti we're seeing social movements growing much greater political participation however . i think that the essence of the problem is there has been much change from the top down we haven't seen any restructuring of state institutions bureaucracies seem the same the same kind of economic policies are big for the roots and so this is i think is what it really is a ghost of

a very clear on top of these protests and this upheaval that we're seeing on the streets they may be ignited by these four truly particular incidents but really i think what goes to the heart of it is not there hasn't been much of any pounds for the former the state bureaucracy on how the citizens of the state are dealt with. that this is really just switched who is at the top from bottom to mohamed morsi and many people are now protesting against the brotherhood i know how morsi saying that instead of trying to really reform state institutions trying to assert control them for its power sometimes jury thank you very much indeed for that surely could also live in ca right thanks for your time. but as well and have been paying their respects to the country's late leader chavez he didn't do it a long battle with cancer but it was said to be a heart attack which killed the president of fourteen years as his funeral is now set for friday meanwhile the russian president vladimir putin said he will be remembered as someone who always had the people's best interests in mind.

on chavez was a brave and very thorough man who was able to showcase strong character to go through with his plans he genuinely wanted to rid the country's poor citizens of their plight and improve their lives but chavez became the symbol of independence throughout latin america while he was still alive he joined the legendary ranks of simon bolivar fidel castro and shaker vajra. well questions are now mounting over the future of the country's political direction vice president nicolas maduro is the interim leader and is widely expected to succeed chavez when snap elections are carried out in a month from now there's a feeling a producer for video agency ruptly gauge the atmosphere in the venezuelan capital. caracas today is the streets are very calm but really very somber basically the coffin of hugo chavez was taken through the streets today and was finally taken to the military academy where thousands of people have gathered outside of the

military academy and there's a queue which seems to know no end of people who are waiting to be able to go and see the body of hugo chavez and pay their final respects people are still very much in a state of shock obviously hugo chavez has been battling with cancer for a very long time at the moment there's a lot of confusion about what kind of coming days and weeks have to bring all of the projects that chavez accord taken over the last fourteen years that he was in power benefited the most marginalized sections of venezuelan society of course before hugo chavez came into power in one thousand nine hundred nine venezuela was one of the most unequal societies are now and that gap has been reduced because of a number of social programs that were brought in by hugo chavez thanks to be immense oil wealth that this country has and prior to. chavez came to power in one thousand nine hundred nine much of that oil wealth was obviously going into the pockets of a very small elite in venezuela. and which. supporters today

say form the backbone essentially of the opposition that if the opposition again took power then essentially the country would back to pre-one thousand nine eleven stream inequality obviously we know that there's going to be elections in the next thirty days and among his supporters here the people who have been out in the streets today they're very confident that the vice president nicolas maduro is going so comfortably win the next elections but of course you know that remains to be seen. well we're going to turn to one of our top stories here on this hour to find out more on what is going on in crisis toll in egypt and i'm joined live by bill true. obviously a lot of we've seen a lot of violence in the port side tell us what is happening at the moment. we just attempted to come on. but. the crowd.

to the front line about five minutes ago. in the last hour eryxias clashes between anti-government protests. have been going on i. think being shot. as the police are coming. from behind the main. thing a number of. people. had to run away from the front line as the guns became unbearable. had to all. the. people here are very upset saying to me that they feel like. the country ignored by the president and treated extremely harshly by the police. anywhere else in cairo really kind of minded any time. thanks very much indeed for that update no doubt we'll come back to you later

on in the day here on r.t. protrude live in egypt. well it's come up to how past the hour let's have a look at some other news from around the world in our world update this house starting with italy and former premier silvio berlusconi has been sentenced to one year in jail he was convicted over the illegal publication of a wiretap in a case related to a two thousand and five banking scandal but it's already appealing another conviction and he's also facing two other trials connected with tax fraud and paying for sex with underage prostitutes the seventy six year old is expected to appeal against this latest verdict and remains free for the meantime. protesters outside the philippines embassy in kuala lumpur are demanding the arrest of a separatist leader whose groups attempting to claim an area in malaysia thirty two of the separatists government have been killed in an ongoing crackdown on militant elements in the border region of southern just yesterday an airstrike followed by

large scale ground operations were launched in an attempt to flush out the insurgents tension is also mounting in the philippines where locals continue to protest against their leader's handling of the situation. also in our world update the police and french car workers have clashed in front of the goodyear headquarters in paris hundreds of employees protested in an attempt to save their factory from closure the tar giant wants to cut costs by moving production to china one thousand two hundred people are set to lose their jobs if the company goes ahead with the relocation plans. because traditional political parties are losing supporters to their non mainstream rivals the conservatives suffered a major blow at the recent election easily beaten into third place by the u.k. independence party they once described by prime minister david cameron as a bunch of fruitcakes loonies and closet racists. looks at the shifting shape of

british politics. britain's political landscape is changing the stranglehold of the old three party system appears to be listening and it's opened the door to some colorful alternatives with all the polls and percentages and opinions from politicians and pundits it can be hard to get a clear picture of exactly what's happening in british politics right now. looking at last week's by election in eastley saw not three not four not five but full team different candidates of all shapes sizes and colors and all of them willing to take on the mainstream party to cost the government in britain. and to turn it from top. to bottom up genuine democracy where the larger all forces have to obey the will of the people they to disillusionment

it seems is an all time high something that's backed up by recent polls and there's certainly a bit of a perception that maybe the traditional parties aren't concentrating on some issues particularly around immigration that we know is a big issue for many members of the church puts can certainly be a hard punch to please it used to be that fed up voters with for their backing behind the liberal democrats but not anymore. possibly for us as a party which is good but it doesn't mean the protest has had to go somewhere else and the one of the above party have a moment as you keep many of the parties using the sea change in public opinion as a blank canvas on which to stamp their mark. a protest vote. that's a lot to protest why you kept beating the conservatives to second place in eastley

last week might have come as a shock to some but it's not the. first time a small parties stolen the show in a byelection last year and the respect party had a sensational win when george galloway won the proudfit seat from labor of course gaining a bit of media coverage is one thing turning that attention into votes in a ballot box and winning seats is quite another something few of the smaller parties have yet been able to day but with the general election not say far off and with some polls putting almost half of the recent support the ukip is coming from former conservative voters well you can perhaps understand why the prime minister's not the picture of happiness right now. r.t. london. term for the business news and his case he was in the studio to oil giants they've just concluded the biggest deal of the year to the small yeah the two

biggest actually in the world i'm talking about rosters ross nafta and america's exxon mobile of course they're going to get into the gulf of mexico going to be drilling in twenty deep sea regions is actually the subsidiary of ross net and net net gas they've signed the deal it's all for exciting they're going to get thirty percent is the farm in agreement so to speak so that's the biggest story of today and this isn't details on this one there because the two heads were equal set in an exxon steven green a they as i said they've signed the papers and it's a seismic analysis is already set to be away so they say an x. and will retain a seventy percent stake and three point two billion dollars towards the operation of mobile partnering with the nec to gas america's shelf unit will remain the main operator in the blogs covering over one hundred the house and his in the region now this is just the latest in a series of joint ventures between the two oil titans i k

that's the man that see oil that's dealt with bill but that's all i want to talk about in terms of men today because of course we are on the eve of women's day so. no i don't want any bell or female dominated time nosing about dominated by. to have a show you know the things i wanted to or notion was there in that get out if i am i'm just women only the minutes you want from a little bit off with the latest news more news for you in about fifteen minutes after the business news. his power was the envy of ambrose. 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's day on oxy. more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images go forward has been seeing from the streets of canada. child hope for a shelter on the day. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so. you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew . i'd charge was a big. welcome

to the all female business bulletin program and all of the international women's day of course now over twenty five years ago and nine hundred eighty seven when forbes magazine began to track the fortunes of billionaires world wide the list only feat to eight women this year the female presence grew to one hundred thirty eight which is still low when you consider that there are one thousand four hundred twenty six billion as in total on that list now that's one hundred four more women than last year by so the path to female domination is still intact so who are these power women that ok well the richest woman on the list is the best in course a major shareholder in the cosmetics giant l'oreal she replace wal-mart christy

walton now right to the ninth richest person on earth with a net worth of thirty billion u.s. dollars. and among the self-made women those that one born with a silver spoon in their mouths there's the talk show host. we've also gone howry. j.k. rowling and the designer tory burch is well she features on the list a very glamorous lady indeed now alongside these aspiring late is another eleven women were among the planet's one hundred wealthiest. but there were no russian women featured on the list which is father disappointing in that she puzzled me so early today i asked helen are small and deputy editor in chief of the magazine russia on the struggles of russian women in business face today. i have

a theory of mind on this matter but i think that our the worst enemy of women nowadays in russia are themselves because you can hear very very often when women are they underestimate themselves they try to to seem stupid they try to hide their abilities they're afraid to build their careers because i don't know probably they're afraid no one will marry them that kind of stuff because in my experience i have i have faced some kind of sexism in your everyday life but i never have faced it didn't business and i never do think that a lot of women but i do think that's the biggest challenge that for women working in business do you think they do you say sexism still and this day and age do you think it's still a real big hurdle for women to jump. i think so i think it's kind of a big problem and we just have to work on that and probably it will change

someday but then again you experience it and you not to sit very often from women themselves they just they just drop their careers leave them marriages and kids which is wonderful and i had my this are but you don't entirely have to choose between those two and they do but why do you think there is such a. not a balance in terms of women are men what means to change in order for that to change brubaker really. you just have to understand there's nothing frightening in strong successful women and i think this this is the most. the thing that haunts women most because very often russian men perceive this hardworking women as kind of i don't know i'm sorry. mannish very frightening

bitchy. that's just not the role model you want to follow so the more you show right role models right examples the faster it will change. and on to get another powerful woman on the global stage russia's president will advise a casino you diva she says issues russia's g.d.p. may drop significantly if america's sequester situation and the eurozone problems persist and turn negative washam may say down two point five percent in her female v.a. so my staff of the initial g.d.p. growth forecast for. course we used to frozen need and saw that all going to work to be oh who we are no longer going to see this city war in the next. several quarters not because it's a rigid coup you possible but just because politicians learn and lots of measures

have been implemented to prevent. worse a new normal situation that once can't use them so i think while we're already observed roof rates. are in the order of magnitude of two two point five percent in the last. this is the kind of the fact we trigger can see rate in some kind of one percentage point or even. create due to external situation. in the markets more positive news for the us it just keeps coming that says a number of americans who applied last week for new employment fell to the lowest level in a month and a half hour harvard just above the five below actually offering another find that the outlook for hiring might be on the upswing it's going to europe and see what happened there because the markets managed to gain this day that soft the european central bank kept right on hold we also had

a successful spanish option as well and the bank of england kept right on hold a check out of us to see what happened there you'll be able to see for yourselves what we've actually got it. gets a basket of currencies by the u.s. dollar the year artistic aspect is here in moscow that. is a bit of a lackluster performance we are yes they're ending the last trading day of this week we can see just about in positive territory two tenths of a stud on the my sex on the other end of the waterline just under the flaps negative lackluster all round indices were under pressure a lot about was to do with oil what about to the oil companies. call managed to gain almost one percent good financial results for that particular company. let's get back to women their move one of the most successful ladies in equity trading in russia a woman that made it to the top of international cells that committee financial corp well are you become says that the financial world would be far more simple if

laid is strategies with dominating the market she shared with us how it is to work in the harsh man's world of bulls. to me it's not a man's world really it's rather a world of those who would like to claim ownership on it man or woman but then there is super success when we talk about power roles when we talk about presidents prime ministers c.e.o.'s of global corporations and indeed if you look at those roles the presentation of women is quite small there and you wonder why i would say that probably it's a matter of choice because if a woman once to act like men to sound like man to look like men. then for sure the doors open and obviously if you think about these people in these roles immediately the image is of someone who actually lexx femininity which is a trade off that you have to take but the issue is that it's definitely possible

there's no profit mission there whatsoever. but the important thing is that women who get in their power should not forget that. they should not claim their femininity over there what are the special characteristics a woman should require to be successful in this world it's definitely a pleasure in a way i think in an environment of. mostly predominantly men it's almost cute to be a woman working in the finance environment i can tell you that in my experience in a less stressful system than men than women. women actually deal with emergency situations that are and they're more multitask but at the same time the less a woman concentrates on being a woman versus being men the better in the finance environment for sure in any sort of environment in my opinion if the financial world will be dominated by women how different will it be there will be less bubbles many women who are making

it in the finals are more risk taking versus average women on the street. probably less of a gambler versus men and they're more. dear to his preservation rather than the other then maybe augmentation of well and preservation in many cases strategy of preservation works better then some irrational exuberance and a desire to increase wealth multifold so i guess that's why perhaps. it will be safer for the world in a way. in less than two hours' time with more feet of our business. news though bill thank you very much because yes we'll see a couple of hours with more news for you here on our t.v. in about fifteen minutes from now stay with us this is all to you live here in moscow.

did any of you seen darth vader and storm troopers trying to make their way into the ukrainian justice ministry as part of a protest well probably a lot of you saw this fun viral video but how many people remember what exactly they wanted and what their protest demands were all about and probably not that many trust me i understand that using wacky protest tactics gets media attention and if you are pushing a cause that media attention is critical but when no one even gets what you want or why you are in that wacky costume it doesn't help there seems to be like almost a protest a culture and language like you see people protesting there so satisfied with themselves in their costumes and silly gimmicks but if your protest is actually aimed at people in power then how is it going to care cost of goods with the opinion of heartless bureaucrats sitting in some soulless office again media attention is great but if you want to be taken seriously we're a rainbow wig and thawing while fighting for your rights doesn't seem to send the

states government has led her way and negatives around a lot of terms of normalizing the use of drone attacks across international borders as of last month at least fifty countries are reportedly using drones in the united states a new revelation has come to light the attorney general says that washington can authorize lethal drone strikes on americans on american soil without trying and it's testimony before the senate judiciary committee eric holder says that under extraordinary circumstances like september eleventh the president could order strikes to protect the homeland the same type of drone strikes that have been used . around the world to fight the war on terror according to new york bring up or not a party. and not a tally a pilot has told controllers he recently spotted an unmanned aircraft as he came in to land at j.f.k. airport in new york well an academic mark mason has told me that with more drones

than ever now available they pose new dangers and a greater risk of being misused the report was made at this point is the information's not available as to it was it a model airplane was it a surveillance drone it was reported to be relatively small three four five six feet didn't really to be small in terms of drones so this point we don't have the information but what we do know with certainty is that drones are curates recording to be available not only to governments but to individuals and they will diversify in terms of their innocent size are going to be made u.s. air force has already announced it's going to be making drones that are the size of an intercept that can assassin and people so these this technology is sheer. well drone strike concerns of split the u.s. senator rand paul began a filibuster on the floor of the u.s. capitol making a speech for more than eleven hours report on r.t.

members of the crew chris cassidy from the united states the american austin on many thanks for joining us in star studio if my youth center here my first question to you this is the first flight which would take six hours instead of two days as it usually has been for for many years now how is this technically possible can you tell us well you know practically adar actions are essentially the same as what we do i don't know today profile normally will go to bed and have it have a period of time on that second day where we just monitor the vehicle and sort of do a few burns that we call them to set us up for a run over the next day today i mean on our mission i'll have been in a tight sequence of six hours we have periods about forty five minutes or so in between these maneuvers where there's a little bit of a downtime but technically that's how it's possible we just have to launch there's tighter constraints on where the space station can be on launch time on it and on a typical profile the space station has a little more leeway and where it can be at the time of the launch we work

tremendously well as a crew impossibles tremendous experience like you just alluded to and and he shares that experience with the two of us and together as a crew we really work well and and particularly with this short profile you need to be in sync and. making sure all the actions are happening in when they need to and we back each other up and make sure that all happens when appropriate time so i'm really happy to be with them a very big pro program there six months or up there there is for russian space walks we will have probably two u.s. spacewalks and many visiting vehicles delivering cargo will be arriving i personally involved with several medical experiments particularly those associated with bone health and bone how to prevent bone loss and i do very much. that's a brings up to date for the moment i'll be back with more news with the news team in about five minutes from now stay with us is all to life in moscow.
