a stronger voice when it comes to carving out the region. international news live from moscow this is all see with me your last. and welcome to the program. the exposure of a cia spy in moscow has yet failed to stir the political arena that calls a major boom in the media instead journalists rushed in all the unfortunate spy ridiculing his outdated equipment and clumsy methods and he's an exterior shots it takes up this. just have to look at some of the headlines across the western media today to understand the magnitude of the laughter they're having now from russia with the wig james blog and many different headlines have come up across the

western media today in relation to the spy incident the latest by scandal mostly because the man detained ryan fogle had a wig on him and a cold which in the era of high tech technology some say is something that a spy may not have but we've already contacted several experts who said that intelligence experts those are who said that despite that we're living in the era of high technologies still things like wigs can be very effective in terms of concealing one's identity and we also have to remember the previous scandals in the previous cases where it says the most recent anna chapman scandal when none of the media actually took the serious and said that she was most likely a model or an actress rather than a spike until the rumor was confirmed but let's dig a little deeper and go back to two thousand and six when a scandal between the u.k. and russia erupted when a russian state channel showed a documentary exposing several of the m i six agents working in moscow gathering

intel while they were doing it by means of certain technologies disguised as a rock while the media was laughing out loud back then as well saying that you know this is a conspiracy theory who could possibly go on information with iraq until one of the former members of the u.k. government actually admitted that things like that existed and this was nothing but true so we have to wait and see of course whether there will be any comments from the official washington on this latest issue. so is it possible that this scandal can pose a serious threat to russia u.s. relations doesn't seem this way because mostly because of the lack of comments now we know that the us ambassador michael mcfaul was at the russian foreign ministry in the morning to do some explanations regarding this incident but he had no comments not before nor after the meeting with the russian officials so this suggesting of course along with the lack of comments coming from the russian side only very very shrewd comments coming from the russian side that this will not hamper the relations as they stand currently especially in the times when

washington the moscow seem to agree on the diplomatic level so this doesn't have an indication that this will probably grow into another scandal another row between the two countries and online we've collected a selection of top spying scandals of the twenty first century involving the u.s. and russia had to r.t. dot com for the background of this story. almost tougher year after french troops landed in mali to push back rebels bombings and insecurity still plagued the north of the country it says he has to say they are hoping to solve as they gather in brussels for a donor's conference that aims to raise nearly two billion euros for the war torn country. c. there has more now from the summit. the leaders from the e.u. and france as well as international donors are gathering today here in brussels to drum up and get aid and support for mali a country which has been dealing with

a radical islamist militants as well as a political crisis for the last couple of years now now the french foreign minister law fab you said said that the aim of today is to raise some one point nine a billion euros a to give to the country in the what he calls a quote unquote an effort to build democracy dialogue and development now we know that france has been very much involved in the country especially in the beginning of the year when it launched a military operation into the country a saying that they were there to fight off islamist militants away from key cities now france is also in the middle of withdrawing some four thousand troops from the country however it does plan to keep about a thousand troops and says in what is seen as a long term a kind of posting in the country would this is in contrast to what has been told to the french people in the beginning who had given support to this military operation they were told that it was going to be a short a kind of operation however we have been speaking to some experts who are very

familiar with counterinsurgency efforts and have had firsthand experience with them and they've told us here on our team that it's very difficult for counterinsurgency operations to be a short kind of war because as you drive out militants from key cities they do have a tendency to just keep coming back so there is a question of whether security is really in place to do. any military intervention creates is that you chase the terrorists from one place they move they withdraw or they consolidate somewhere else where they are less likely to hire living areas of the state of chaos sort of the. place for going to get out but it is just they can see. the weapons their assets they followed the variation of the lights because they know that sooner or later. the intervention of the french in mali marriage as well sooner or later. the french foreign

minister insists that security is largely in place in the country whether critics do question the extent of that kind of stability the mali may be seeing at the moment now there is no argument among everybody involved that a stable mali is in the interest of a secure region of regional security however there is that question of how sustainable and how effective the efforts have been so far there are also plans of having elections in the country in july if and when that does happen what kind of democracy and system will be put in place considering that the country is still facing some of those militant threats it's not one hundred percent out of the a country also since today is largely a fund raising activity there are questions on the money now are there mechanisms that will make it should make it very transparent as to where this money is going to go and if it will actually reach its intended destination a lot of questions that need to be answered as these leaders and international donors meet today here in brussels and the royal from the french on to colonial

group is serving as throwing money at money will not create a stable state. bringing money in a system that is greatly corrupted and where the money never goes to the people that read it needs it and bring in it in the results you have to do it have a strong strong political institution you have to have strong polices. aim to improve the conditions there well conditions of the people you have results in death case we are putting the stages one bit before another but in the in the wrong in the wrong since this part of the world has being directly. targeted by a lot of. countries there were. who are looking for the natural resources and france have has a traditional very strong position in this continent and they are looking not to lose disposition so they are showing their muscles if you want police station bones

and the bears arrest of sale a day after a mysterious complements the full scale of escalation of violence in the former revolution have padding out a look at the tension gripping the country and beating them breast that. the u.s. justice department they bought through to defending its massive supply operation against the associated press news agency about one hundred journalists and editors had that phone stopped for months with the revelations sparking widespread outrage on his his war has been following this scandal. it's being called an unprecedented government intrusion the justice department secretly collected two months of telephone records from the associated press and its reporters. a.p. believes this story prompted the secret investigation the cia uncovered a plot to bomb a u.s. bound airliner

a plot originated in yemen and was carried out by al qaeda they arabian peninsula by reporting this al qaeda was put on notice that the cia had an inside look at their activities be a piece as the justice department did not say why they needed the information but says among the nearly two dozen telephone records collected at least five of them were from reporters working on the story in question this was a very serious. a very serious leak and a very very serious leak. i've been a prosecutor since one thousand nine hundred six and i have to say that this is among if not the most serious it is within the top two or three most serious leaks that never see it put the american people at risk and that is not hyperbole eric holder announced today he was recusing himself from this a.p. investigation the prominent news agency condemned the government's actions in a letter to holder yesterday associated press c.e.o.

gary pruitt says quote these records potentially reveal communications with confidential sources across all of the news gathering activities undertaken by the a.p. during a two month period provide a road map to news gathering operations and disclose information about a.p.'s activities and operations that the government has no conceivable right to know now the a.p. is asking for an explanation as to why the government pulled reporters' phone records without notifying them the worry now is the effect the news will have on the media and its sources i think the effect on the media has already been felt i mean you have. sources that are being shut down doors just being shut in people's faces now that was probably the intention the intention was to scare. the turn off the faucet in other words from leaks in the wake of the controversy white house press secretary jay carney reiterated the obama administration's dedication to transparency he believes strongly in the need for the press to be

unfettered in its pursuit of investigative journalism he also believes strongly as a citizen and as president in the need to ensure that classified information is not leaked because it can endanger our national security interests there's a balance between transparency and national security has been a delicate one since nine eleven the obama administration has a history of aggressively going after whistleblowers prosecuting more people for leaking classified information than any other administration combined and washington was wall r.t. . and contributor to says that the damage has been done and no whistleblower will ever risk going to the associated press and able to notify the head of associated press because it would undermine the security of the whole operation like the idea of justice anyway in the united states around the world that we see now how can there be a problem of justice with torturing august strikers in cuba and as for eric holder

himself well what exactly are they thinking when they're actually naming associated press the american taxpayer will have to be reparations to associated press because let's face it whistleblower source is now going to call the a.p. desk in new york or washington d.c. and generally it has to be said that given the obama administration's attitude you know really an american journalist your phone calls are being recorded or at least the phone logs are being noted down and sent to the f.b.i. . the wall for most maligned ascension facility marks a dock milestone ninety nine days of the not kind of strike and the sorties that it appears have had and not inmates have gone tunneled they are opposing escalating harassment and saying that being subjected to painful searchers for reasons as petty as a telephone call the law was long past coming out. speak

a very kind of punctual way the today the council admitted six new. observers to the to its body including perhaps some more controversial china india also singapore south korea japan and italy all joined the body and in some official capacity today but the problem is that. everybody is very interested in may lie beneath the arctic perhaps not as much as what may lie on the sea surface and what we're seeing is a lot of jockeying a lot of posturing around the arctic. from countries who have territory legitimate territorial claims across the area for example russian scientists recently placed the russian flag on the pole or north polar on the on the seabed. what we're seeing now is other countries expressing their interest in getting involved in the arctic but no one's quite sure how to arrange or how to divide up this enormous arctic pie

estimated the twenty two percent of the earth's natural resources lie in the arctic area so as you can understand people are very interested in having their say and being able to influence what goes on there we see we've seen a couple of proposals the first proposal. dividing up the arctic the first proposal suggests that the arctic should be divided according to border border exposure coastline exposure to the to the arctic the other which is proposed by the u.s. which is a full time member of the council is to create an international zone in which other nations may participate and may lead projects i'm exploring the arctic resources now the u.s. position is one that some see as opening pandora's box in that it would allow multiple parties enter the arctic area and would undermine the ability of arctic countries to control genuine arctic countries to control their own. arctic

environment so probably according to that principle china as well as other countries like india who basically have nothing to do with the arctic involvement and they spy sharing it may seem so that they have the that they have little reason to be involved in it but i'll give you. positive this f.m.c. the fast moving consumer goods now the growth vast majority of consumer goods that are being supplied to european markets for example come from asia they're made in asia they're sold european markets now if you're thinking about i phones i pads televisions the whole panoply of electronic goods particularly and i think of those if the if if suppliers could reduce the time it takes to ship those to european markets. it would basically be more profits and more cash so there's there are great economic interests in freeing up the investing in and securing a arctic route shipping route from asia to europe but there's also the question of

resources and we're seeing china in particular expand its exploration in the area they've opened or they've created a free trade partnership with iceland and signed that last month which is the first of its kind and promised to build ports in greenland as well so we're seeing some of the some of the economic giants getting involved there and building bases from which they'll probably be able to expand their arctic exploration right but is it actually being shared can we say that the more global influence you have the bigger piece you can get what you think will not be you talk question yeah we don't know yet as i said there is they still don't have a plan for how to divide up this potentially enormous lucrative. resource pipe however we did see today that lines were beginning to be drawn the council expanded canada blocked the e.u. application for observer status and that's very very surprising the e.u.

is because russian has issued a a somewhat apologetic press release for not having secured the membership for the e.u. but this goes back to a new ban on seal meat and seal for in two thousand and nine canada believes that banning this undermines the interests of the indigenous people of the arctic so what so there's a bit of push and pull going on all right is it fair to say that that every member of the council would like to get bigger share since no decision on the arctic has been taken yet as you say what do they do to secure their positions in the area well i guess they build they build bases build ports they invest there's also events such as for example the russian submarine place in the flagon on the on the seabed. north pole. for example if we look look at the promises made by current canadian prime minister harper back in two thousand and five in opposition he pledged up to five billion canadian dollars in arctic projects including new ice

breakers and a deep sea port and i think what we'll probably see is bases ports and perhaps pipelines right story thank you very much. going on now at least one person is being killed and leaving a second largest city benghazi after ten minutes is that stormed a police station is being reported is that the building is still on fire with men is still missing that time comes amid a frantic pullout of u.s. and u.k. and the system just over due to the recent spike in violence and lawrence freeman from executive intelligence review magazine things the west could be leaving behind them as it helped create with a green monster that they could no longer control and it's turning against them in a way that it's absolutely foreseeable that the tony blair policy which obama kameraden circles even in europe with. or gets two thousand and eleven created this

condition which was understandable and you want to know is going to happen we worked directly with the ok the military is also a way out for you guys you know other parts of libya and now libya has become fund government of the so even the people who needed the mets have to leave to protect themselves because nobody of the victim in this situation is completely out of control. lots more news stories for you online including actress angelina is truly affecting me which has created some unexpected side effects of the farm that owns the tate and the page into her so-called breast cancer genes saw flies skyrocket plus. nowhere to hide a dutch company can discover all about your past all details like your gender and age just by looking at what you write on your written on your twitter account find

is to punish hunger strikers for daring to protest. is a protest against what this record sees as denial of access to justice in this case a decade or more of detention without charge or trial or possibility of release and it's clear that the hunger strikers are being kept under weight and with orgy the planning of their force feeding whether it's punishment as a means of control or some medical error so i think there's a real chance that something will go badly wrong and fairly soon that the doctors in guantanamo are in breach of their ethical duties by colluding in torture the world medical association and the un agree with this these doctors like everyone else have duties to refuse unlawful orders and to expose abuse that was established new yorker because they do not want the hunger strikers do not trust and sometimes fear those doctors who are responsible for cooperating and what they see as abuse so there is no doctor patient relationship their hunger strike despair pushed to
