russian security forces say they have killed the right hand man of russia's moyes wanted terrorists in a special operation in the north caucasus. international had to start at the u.s. military running guantanamo bay as ologies fix to a lawyer for one of the hunger strikers lee who claimed to have been nearly shot dead by prison guards. justice department and versus a journalist's outrage over wildstein as the government's why did media freedom also target the fox news reporter you publish secrets from an official.

that's just gone ten pm here in the russian capital you live with us on our tea with me to bomb one thing first russian security forces say they have killed the key deputy of the country's worst wanted terrorists which are in a special operation in the north caucasus artes you go to the scorn of her has the details. bandito operation took place in a residential neighborhood in russia south the republic of english in the caucasus police blocked a private house where a group of suspected militants was hiding the refused to surrender only a woman accompanied by a child came out she is believed to be the wife of one of the armed men and shortly after she did they opened fire at the authorities and were eliminated now soon after the operation ended the investigators found out that one of the militants was the right hand men of russia is the number one terrorist. responsibility for various terror attacks across all russia including the two moscow metro blasts and the attack on the airport and to the operation continues

a set of successful anti terror efforts in russia since just on monday he's announced that the. plan to attack moscow by a group of terrorists now all this adds to the visit of the head of russia's security council who is now in the united states and does have some useful experience he could share with american counterparts when it comes to tackling terrorism since international terror is one of the mean mutual threats that russia and the united states share his visit does come shortly after the recent terror attack in boston the which was a planned and conducted by the time my brothers both of whom were origin while the caucasus for russia is one of the most volatile region since just on monday four people were killed in the southern republic of dagestan in two car bomb explosions now surely the two countries security services do have

a lot to talk about lots of spheres where they can work together following the direct orders of the presidents of both russia and the u.s. for the security services to intensify cooperation. law professor alexander downer and says that in the wake of the boston bombing the u.s. stance on global terrorism needs to change. the preparations for the visit began long before the. attack. but at the same time of course it should be a kind of a counterpoint during these negotiations because the main message that should convey to you is that where in the same boat. we need to do something about it to my american friends you need to stop providing the status of refugees the chechen terrorists you need to disband the so called american committee for peace. which is now action is called american committed for peace in the caucasus as you can see those people who were killed in the russians they start killing americans

unfortunately in the last several decades the position of the united states was so different from the position of russia regarded and should regard in the caucasus regarding the overall disintegration of the russian federation i believe that paradoxically is a boston attack and they have a kind of a healing psychological effect on the american society american government. three and a half months into the guantanamo hunger strike and the u.s. military running the facilities under fresh pressure to close the camp the glorious international group of hacktivists known as anonymous have threatened to destroy prison activity forcing the authority to shut down while it's internet access as a precaution most of the one hundred sixty six detainees at guantanamo was starving themselves in protest at indefinite detention without charge arches worrying about my ahmed one of the captives a lawyer. thirty five year old detainee all week was reportedly shot several

times by get more guards last march his attorney ramsey cost some joins me now to speak exclusively to r.t. about what happened mr costin thank you for your time. when it was your client shot and what was the circumstance of the ship on saturday april thirteenth of this year the bottom of a military prison decided to raid six the prison facility at guantanamo pipeline trolleys pretty. lady conduct a direct order to move all the prisoners to solitary confinement and that was just one additional way that the prison the station wanted to try to break the hunger strike what happened on that day according to mr allawi is that in the process he was shot without any warning for absolutely no good reason by one of the u.s. army guards had dangerously close range using rubber coated steel pellets that are only safely used outside of a certain range he was shot in five places one shot was around the heart another

shot was in his elbow another was in his shoulder and there were a couple of impact on the sides particularly the shot that went to his heart the dark horse of range even a rubber coated steel pellet can penetrate skin and can be fatal the authorities are guantanamo endangered mr always like for no reason they gave him no warning they fired on him repeatedly and then following that fact they delayed the medical . treatment that he should have received immediately as the u.s. government acknowledged that this shooting did take place absolutely and i received confirmation in writing by an e-mail from the department of justice that mr all he was sustained what they described as minor injuries but then when i heard the description from mr all we solved it was very different from what i saw on the governments and we also received confirmation in writing from the u.s. government via e-mail that he was being force fed. that is a violation of international law fact that it is done in an unnecessarily painful

and brutal way that does that prisoners are strapped down to these restraint chairs that they have to force down their nose into their stomachs there are many other ways to to feed prisoners even if those prisoners and wish to be true. and the u.s. government is again doing it in a deliberately filing way in order to break the hunger strikes correct me if i'm wrong he's been held at guantanamo. with no charges against him is that right that's correct the trial he has never been charged with any crime we have no reason to believe that the u.s. government has any interest in charging him with an actual crime here in the real war or in a military commission the reality is that mr ali has been a one on a mole for over eleven years without a fair process and that's the reason he's on hunger strike today u.s. president barack obama is expected to address the nation on thursday speaking about guantanamo bay about the detention center and i assume he will address this hunger strike what would you like to hear the president the united states say well i can

tell you what i would not like to hear i don't want to hear a repetition of the promises that president obama has been making for years i don't want to hear that he's going to appoint some official who'll be the sponsible for closing guantanamo we had an official like that for years and want to animal was not closed i don't want to hear about administrative review mechanisms because we've had many before that and they didn't lead to any meaningful progress the only official who is responsible for the existence of guantanamo today as far as i'm concerned as far as my clients are concerned is. president obama himself he needs to take concrete steps towards closing the prison and i don't believe the man i want hanumant will interrupt their hunger strike unless president obama takes such concrete steps and one very obvious concrete steps you can take is to begin by releasing some prisoners who are approved for transfer who can be repatriated or resettled in another country like another one of my current shark romber who's been approved for transfer for years the u.k. has been asking for his release that's the united states' oldest and most trustworthy ally he is a very natural source that the president is serious about closing guantanamo bay we

need actions we need deeds not words mr president thank you very much for your time and really thank you. as a hunger strike continues it will pause a hundred days as it began with full comprehensive coverage of events as they unfolded on a website had to r.t. dot com for the raw between u.s. officials and detainees lawyers as well as testimonies from former guantanamo inmates. to speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's only here. to change the world talks about six of the c.o.r.p. interviews intriguing story are you. trying arabic to find out visit arabic. journalists and free speech activists in the u.s. some wrongdoing on the the justice system department's probe into the fox news

reporter the government's paul james rosen's phone logs personal e-mails and security badge records over an alleged conspiracy rosen is not charged with any crime and there is deep suspicion that national security is not a pretext to keep america's reporters on a tight leash he's a washington correspondent and she can. the u.s. justice department not only subpoena fox news reporters private e-mails but also said that james rosen was quote an aider and abettor and or coconspirator in the alleged crime so these words appear in a court document basically accusing the reporter of breaking the law for conducting the routine business of reporting on government secrets in the forty four pages of the justice department's application for the search warrant of mr rosen's g.-mail account you see e-mail exchanges between the state department employee identified as the alleged in the courier and james rosen so the authorities have established that the communication between the two has led to rosen writing an article in two thousand and nine which said north korea planned to respond to looming u.n.

sanctions with another nuclear test it's becoming obvious to journalists that the administration is now targeting not just the leakers but also reporters just recently we learned that the u.s. justice department secretly obtained two months of telephone records targeting a.p. reporters and editors work and personal phone numbers eight people leaders more than one hundred of its journalists were caught up in this surveillance sweep the some president eight hundred full leaks has had an enormous chilling effect on investigative journalism the obama administration has brought more cases against whistleblowers than all previous presidents combined journalists have seen their sources drying out as government officials are much less inclined to share these days but now we see a different probably more alarming development the government making journalists the subject of their investigations and it's not clear what the government expects from journalists just to copy paste whatever they say in press releases if that is

the case that would be the end of our profession. the recent scandal experiences the fine line between the demands of media freedom and those of statehood charly make rather from wide awake news told thomas that journalists are paying the price for going beyond official sources. these networks that we're talking about are not new at least you need opinion yet they're not known to to step outside the light of the government press conference they should just regurgitate exactly what the government puts out because yes somebody this is actually doesn't journalism yes you can expect retribution and i don't know who could possibly consider that and not to work that way in their decision to be investigated jools well if there is a leak that could compromise national security doesn't the government have the right to do everything that they can to stop that leak but yet the group is obviously stepping way outside of that bounds you know you're talking about

reporting news information that is critical for this three hundred populous yes it's going to be things that can be reported this shouldn't be leaked but you're going to go after the jury was to doing his job and not the intersect is a dysfunctional government that folks in the first place now the government is investigating reporters in the hopes of finding leaks within its own ranks and you kind of touched on this just a second ago why do you think it has chosen this approach rather than looking for the source of the actually just scare the hell was he a buddy who dares to stand up to the party well into the agenda large and this isn't just the obama administration it's the previous administration it will be the next administration it has control of the government it's hubris at its worst and it's going to continue to read the freedom of the people this country. and just a few minutes away look at what upsets normal peace and quiet up in a bell price ceremony high city all stuck up went up for one light turned into

a riot a battleground the details on that story coming up. death and despair in the oklahoma suburbs struck by a massive tornado that's left at least two dozen dead and many home yet. some of these traditional chili lines they've been bred and developed and passed down from generation to. the total destruction of the culture of mexico by telling them i mean this is not going to impact asylum in mexico whatever happens here. we're eating out about in the in the world in all the wars and so are. genetically engineered crops why do you think this country is full of obese and sick people because we have a crappy food system. he

. has. some.

luck. thank you welcome back you're watching r.t. the search for survivors continues in the suburbs of america's oklahoma city devastated by one of the deadliest tornadoes in years a massive slike longto through a residential area leaving chaos in its wake. the local medical examiner's office has revised the initial number of did down from fifty one to at least twenty four some of the victims are schoolchildren but the figures are still expected to rise as rescuers continue to sift through the rubble

president obama declared the area a disaster zone a leni elko smithies involved in tackling the aftermath of the fukushima tragedy says politics needs to be taken out of the aid work and prevention measures. i used to live near kansas and so i know you know the seriousness of tornadoes i've been. very close to one but i cannot imagine what hardships they are going through in pain we have to be very careful and consider you know any kind of warning system should be completely not political you know the words it has to be on the best scientific knowledge that is the way to protect the people as much as possible but a lot of times these decisions are political about what kind of warnings to shoot or what kind of preparation to make and that's absolutely not excusable i don't know what the case is in oklahoma but i know that that's for sure in japan what

happened and trying to reestablish your life back to where where you were located before i mean rebuilding complete cities towns villages is just incredibly difficult and it's just so much hardship and to increase that hardship because of poor political decisions is just inexcusable. are we keeping you updated on the tornado tragedy of the american midwest on to add on live with the latest footage for today's and i would miss i come from the scene at our team dot com. sunni protest leaders in iraq are demanding autonomy from baghdad according to reports in the country's state media meanwhile a fries a surge of nationwide sick terror and violence has left at least twelve people did the country has been in the grip of the worst sunni and shia tit for tat attacks

since the two thousand and three u.s. led military intervention here to tell as a whole is going to school in the studio with me irina take us through what's fueling this ongoing violence well i would take you all the way back in history you can. of the situation with muslims in the region that would take too long of a time but basically experts actually understand these religious things they say that ever since the invasion of iraq syrian violence has been on the rise in the country particularly there you can see the invasion has set it off and it has been rising every year even though the u.s. troops may be out of the violence continues to only get worse in fact if we just look at the numbers of just last week alone two hundred people have died in this it terry in violence and when we are talking about sectarian violence we have to understand that islam is composed of two main branches shia and sunni and they are constantly going at each other they have all these issues and questions and this

point has been going on for centuries so really it's really hard to stop and we're looking of course that just yesterday thirty people were killed bombs were exploding this time. the shia who were targeted in baghdad and but in fact the u.n. mission for iraq has said that since two thousand two thousand and eight april was the deadliest month because more than six more than seven hundred people were killed sixteen hundred were injured in these attacks continue to happen and always daily bases and there it seems that there is no way for them to stop of course now we have the and now we have the tribal leaders from the sunni provinces and if we could look at the map we could see that this in the provinces are mostly to the west of the country and they are saying we will stop the attacks will stop the violence yes you can see them right there the kind of gold and the mustard colored ones those are the provinces that are saying we will stop the attacks if you will give us autonomy and the prime minister nuri al maliki said he is going to think about establishing

a ton of this region in that part of the country but he says of course it has to be done through proper legal procedures and that means more time more people work and more bureaucracy and until until it's that actually happens who knows how much more blood will be shed and of course the wider fear in iraq today is that the current. this country today is what could be which is what we could be seeing in syria tomorrow and this is what we have to be paying special attention to when it comes to iraq and of course to the region as a whole. breaking as down those numbers of what's been happening between the sunni's and the shias and the thank you for being with us in the syria now of course let's get some analysis right now from chris the bambery in london he's a political analyst live thing in the middle east good to see this is a sunni demand for more independence a realistic goal. i think it is realistic given the kurds in the north have a faith with separated from the rest of iraq but i think it's an unfortunate

decision is based on your contributions say on a decision by the americans believe occupied iraq to set of separate iraq off into these three areas iraq has been a unified country for a long time and yet doing so based on a sectarian headcount by dividing the country out particularly by excluding the sunnis from having any control of the oil fields was a recipe for say two conflicts and that's what we've seen but what's adding spice that is the question of what's happening across the border in syria because we are seeing an alliance between al qaeda elements in syria and sunni so artists in iraq we have united and it could be involved in carrying out these attacks and i think anyone in iraq must be terrified of the situation in syria is spilling over into iraq and indeed across the region we're seeing the possibility of border tension the possibility of that spilling over into a weapon and so this sectarian violence which is terrible in iraq is now becoming very intertwined with what's going on in syria with them with an open border

between the two countries there is so it should they be handed this self rule would that stop the violence. no i don't think it would stop the violence i don't think the people who are counting on it to say terrorist attacks particular the targeting of sheer are motivated by the issue of creating an autonomous region for this century not majority sunni population they're motivated by sectors and let's be honest about this and even if they were granted that want to make. it inside iraq they're going to use that as a continuation for carrying out those sectarian killings and as i say that we spurred on by what is happening in syria which is increasingly a sectarian conflict so no mansur's it will not stop the sectarian killings i think unfortunately the only way likely to get worse. i just want to follow up on what you just said i went then do you draw the line that allowing them more freedom to solve govern and then the country is disintegrating at the same time is that the

sectarian issues you are talking about you know the country is this integration i was going to say the americans have to blame for that because of the system they imposed iraq giving virtual independence to the codes in the north who of course were allied with them against saddam hussein and then actually jesting there was a long sunni shia alliance in the rest of the restaurant and that opened up a pandora's box which really i think it's almost time for impossible to stop now but it's not going to stop the sectarian violence as i said and i think people across the world should be absolutely clear whether responsibility for our allies it doesn't lie with the americans and what the what they did in two thousand and three and the subsequent occupation of that country oh what about syria is this heading in the same direction as syria heading in the same direction. that must be the fear because i say there is almost an open border between syria and iraq there are many many are refugees from syria inside iraq and we've now seeing an alliance

from al qaeda elements in syria and al qaeda elements in iraq who are involved in sectarian violence in both countries we have iraqis fighting alongside the free syrian army and islamicists inside inside syria so the possibility of this in fact i would say actually the thing is spreading and increasing with sectarian campaign in iraq is becoming deeply connected to that inside inside syria and so the. joke of fear of instability is spreading and that threatens to destabilize elsewhere in the middle east particularly lebanon let's talk about lebanon and missile battery hezbollah now is involved in syria how much will this influx of military manpower going to shift momentum in the fighting. i think the fighting is going to impasse no for some time neither side is capable of producing a decisive victory whether his ball is battle trained fighters battle against trained against israelis can shift the balance away at sea but let's be clear as

well there is all intervention from the other side it's clear every underdog knows the saudis and qataris of appalling arms in the americans are providing are providing training and is his war increases this intervention on the side of the assad regime i think it is likely that we are growing cuomo for further western intervention and some of the governments in america and in britain seem quite keen on increasing so arming the rebels inside syria and providing of the other means i think we're a very dangerous time and the moment i think when it comes to the question of syria one thing is very important i think the decision to exclude iran from next week's conference in geneva on the possibility of a political solution is profoundly mistaken because there can be no agreement between the various kinds of powers in the world over the question of syria with around being at the table when dangerous times says chris bambery political analyst and middle east specialist speaking to us here on r.t. thank you. sweden could be paying

a tough price for its policies on immigrants and multiculturalism a stock on sub up a rocketing to buy in for a few hours has crowds of angry mafias from mit migrant families burned cars smashed windows and hold stones at police offices was believed to have fueled the riot was the death of a six eight nine year old man allegedly shot by police in the area last week the chairman of state as national democrats party told r.t. this new trouble highlights old policy flaws. this is fairly new to to sweden. and this is a clear consequence of this multiculturalism politics that sweden adopted around the eighties and increased it in the ninety's and now we are seeing these problems but these politics is not working and we have seen this this is not a unique one single occasion we have seen this in gotham bergen several times

and even in the city where i am elected councillor inside italians will not have these ethnical based riots against swedish authorities i think that sweden has been trying harder than any of the country in europe to try to push for integration where we invested billions into it and of taxpayers' money were tried everything that the scientists have passed presented and still it's not working the problem that they did to poor here is that these people they don't identify themselves with the swedish society or as swedes and it's clearly not working it's not working sweden is not working in france or in the united states there is and i think we'll see more of this if we don't change the politics. in the future. on our website so one man keeping a distance from sweden is a world famous a whistleblower julian a front he's just closed the lead to u.k. intelligence method that calls attempts to extradite him to sweden on charges of

sex abuse a fifth of that story is that r.t. to. the u.s. military could lose a kid logistical hub on route to afghanistan if a newly drafted bill gets the backing of chi gives the government the report online . the u.k. government's gay marriage bill gets with third and final commons reading later today supporting same sex marriages was a flagship pledge for prime minister david cameron although swathes of his own party disagree and they're intent on giving their leader a tough time getting it three r.t. contributor action returns he says are the premier is using it to distract attention from his government's failures. we although david cameron is finished no one in this country voted george the majority of the people in this country did not vote for him to be prime minister and just as with previous conservative prime ministers he's facing immense trouble on his backbenchers the vote in the next few

hours he'll win because of the labor party and liberal democrat votes not his own votes go to remember the inequality rising was rising in the tony blair is great it is set to rise even more under a david cameron's policies he's trying desperately to avert attention from the disastrous economic policies currently undergoing going on here in britain. legalizing same sex marriage has taken a dramatic and tragic turn across the channel in france where an elder of the award winning historian has shot himself did not a dom cathedral in paris the seventy eight year old had been involved in an intense campaign against france's decision to allow gay marriage and had earlier written a damning critique on his blog the cathedral was evacuated with a man killed himself at the main altar a note was found next to his body but police haven't disclosed its details.

a police vehicle has struck a roadside bomb in a western afghanistan that left at the six a local offices did it's not yet clear who is behind the attack but he came during the taliban of the annual spring offensive the recent outbreak of violence are being seen as a test for afghan security forces ahead of u.s. troops withdrawal next year. what amount of sub cord to has overturn the genocide conviction against a former dictator afraid and rios montt is charged with killing more than a thousand seven hundred indigenous mayan string his short rule in the early one nine hundred eighty s. amid the decades long civil war is trials have been ordered to restart of from a way it was on april nineteenth during which the eighty six year old briefly had no lawyer present the constitutional court said the condition is void because proceedings should have been halted. just a couple of minutes away is our business update with katie.

although i was born after the vietnam era i remember t.v. discussions about that buddhist monk who burned himself to death as a form of protest the commentators on the news said that people there just have a different mindset that westerners could never understand you know which is probably true but they were implying that people in the west are just different and would never use this absolutely extreme form of protest which is also probably true until just recently with the cost of electricity exceeding the income of the average bulgarian and a new government coming to power that looks exactly like the old government that collapsed at least six ball gary and have used self-immolation as a very desperate and extreme form of protest but why kristen ghodsee a professor at bowdoin college who is extensively talked to bulgaria protesters

claims that those who self-immolating are just incredibly desperate and cannot feed their own children and their people are actually becoming a stealth for communism because at least that system at the people's basic needs the current democratic system from the populace perspective according to her just cycles through a few new crooks every few years although it does get media attention and you may be feeling desperate suicide is never an answer the more living bulgarians the better ball carriers chances believe me but that's just my opinion. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you. are is a big picture. welcome

to business i make a thank you for joining me see even we are talking about apple the world's most valuable company and it is apparently paid zero corporate tax on billions of dollars that has been made abroad so it has been questioned today we've had the c. in front of the senate having to answer to questions but it transpires that none of this is actually illegal so i want to get a bit will details on this one i've got artie's editor here to talk to me either i see how late you so this is quite difficult to understand actually the fact that all of this is legal they don't pay any surety so it's all off a little yeah yeah absolutely no no no no it's no no no no what apple is doing is legal of course not going to be offshore tax avoidance scheme is landing quite a few people and in a bit of hot water it emerged today that aapl has processed up to seventy eight

billion dollars in profits through our small irish companies and paid something in a row two percent or perhaps perhaps less tax on that over the last four years so while our people are seem to be holding a steady corporate line in terms of their international accounting the irish government for example is having a little bit of backtracking they denied today that there was any tax agreement in place with apple aapl the front of the senate quite clearly said that there was an agreement in place with the irish government since nine hundred eighty four would try to get a bit of a blame game going on at the moment surely and also if we're talking about ireland we're talking about i think there's a real thin line between tax avoidance and evasion and really let's talk about the u.s. tax code because some could blame that because ok after all it's a fantastic company but what about the u.s. tax code should they not be doing more so that apple pay more it can't but i'm can't just be an apple as well well the senate committee hearings are based around

. we should have to reform the u.s. tax code and apple made the point very clearly today that they would like to see major reforms made to make it easier for companies american companies that are very successful abroad particularly like. it to repatriate their money made abroad back into the u.s. system now whether they would actually do that or not is highly debatable the sweetened sweetener deals that they've got on offer from countries like ireland and other offshore tax havens would suggest that companies like that will be happy to keep their money abroad but this is part of a grander scheme of things where i think major economic blocs in the world that are really suffering the effects of the ongoing crisis since two thousand and eight are are trying to get money it's a big theme it's everywhere at the moment tax avoidance tax evasion but what i want to talk about is the brands of apple sure because i just said it's nice valuable brand officially now second year running what does it mean for the brand because i'm just thinking people you know with their pocket money they don't earn

a lot especially caves they say they're getting their money together and saving up for an i pad i call it is going to noise some people sure there's been for example as the details emerged this afternoon of apple's tax the well of the detox that apple pays in ireland or doesn't pay an arm and should i say yeah there was quite a lot of raised eyebrows on the other side of course arlington county was battered by a sturdy there's a great deal of resentment the economic model that was imposed around banking and and easy credit in ireland that created the boston the irish people are repaying and so yes there's a lot of there's a lot of raised eyebrows locally let's say about what our bills doing but other than that i don't expect people to be particularly angry at the apple for practicing standard corporate practices well i will say to that is as merely using island as an example couldn't island have done more surely they are going to be criticized for not doing it because for sites that island benefit from that country like island i would pick you know an island beheaded should they not have done more

. i don't really. i think is it i think the irish are is a small economy it's competing global level and it's trying to get major technology players in and they've been very successful at microsoft or their google or there would have been look at other economies for example the u.k. . has been inquiring into the interview and lately. you know yeah absolutely there's been a lot a lot of squeeze on the kind of accounting practices that take place between various countries but these countries are competing for the tax dollar and they want these companies in that country's they do they do get it cooper tax or not they still want that i think at the end of the day a political decision is made at that these people can bring jobs and that's probably the most important thing politically what is crucially this kind of international legal situation creates a race to the bottom where whoever comes in with the lowest offer is going to get the deal ok but you're irish guy so i give it by that i've always said. because we

thank you very much indeed for your time today. we're going to stay with awful for now because the company remains the most valuable brand in the world as i mentioned there this is an annual ranking by market intelligence company millwood the brand is now worth a staggering one hundred eighty five billion dollars or is cosi followed by internet search engine google there are over one hundred thirteen billion dollars in third place just another us technology giant i.b.m. there just over one hundred twelve billion dollars as a russian company is the bank russia's largest lender there we go to twelve point seven billion dollars it has got a nineteen percent year on year or year to reach twelve point six billion dollars while russia's mobile john m.t.s. came eighty second with a value of ten point six billion as was first included in the ranking in two

thousand and eight by only just last year so they are big money right that now the u.k. x. to get the european union debate has divided politicians investors and the british public as well while the latest opinion comes from investment bank goldman sachs kevin daly part of the investment banks economic team believes a u.k. exit would result in a loss loss in our area so i asked mike from b.b.c. part is if he agrees with goldman sachs. if you consider that the u.k. runs a trade deficit with the roughly sixty three billion year rows are i can't see how . u.k. seeking to be renegotiated with the e.u. is is all downside i can't honestly feel that the you with all the economic problems that it's got at the moment which is relying on external demand of trade in order to grow is willing to say ok u k you know you're basically given

a sixty three billion a year ok we're just going to walk away from that so you know i just don't see it as being as binary as that and frankly i think that those people who want to frame it in that way and basically scare monger. and as for the u.s. and they are raising. louis president james balog he said that the central bank should continue its. growth that is lower than expected that's really the sentiment right now to the us. jumping over three percent us off to raising its earnings forecast as the housing rebound boost renovation spending is a bit of optimism on wall street and see what happens a year we get started with a closing more than thirteen. with mining foundry keeping parts of the prior day's losses. well received report. to territory really investors cautious about making any major moves before we.

exit from easing measures to watching that one tomorrow that's the big news this week about the that is what happened he did have a moment that says that she hired to the u.s. dollar no it's the common currency on the russian market see what happened here and we ended up composed to this day that she despite going south for the first time in five days as the dollar increases the market we're going to stay with russia then finale this week in the head of the russian union of industrialists as well as in london to promote russian companies and discuss how russia can improve its business climate and. an exclusive interview. amnesty. and not the very easy way from. legal point to a few everybody supports the stadium different businesses this asians defection so

this. may mean a member so the government etc but at the same time to find a way of the draft there will be decision of the problem and it's necessary to spend at least not few days but because that's the way i am not true with the would be from technical point of view it would be impossible to do before g eight summit but at the same time we it's not the only. tool for investment claimant to me administer to but here it's. due mainly. to the corruption that's way way. too far in this single solution on how to improve for investment and business climate but it's necessary to go away swick huge number sure spoke of structural reform and of course amnesty because it's more or bill saying

means they have a huge consumer market a staggering two point seven billion people live in these two countries that is a third of the world's population what's more there's plenty of room for future economic growth. this is a pivotal possibility for the future of asia as a region if you look at the overall trade that's been going on it's a very interesting story you know nine hundred ninety one they start liberalizing the indian economy all of their all of their perspective looked west for business with china came along and liberalized somewhat later they've changed the rules of the game they know i can look around that neighborhood and also look east in order to develop a greater amount of business and therefore through trade we're going to see a very strong axis being built by these two nations because at the moment trade is not considerable between them. and statistics underline the point over the last

decade and a half bilateral trade between them has jumped from three billion dollars a year to seventy four billion by twenty fifteen china and india hope the figure could top one hundred billion at the moment they largely sell resource based products to each other china for example exports iron and steel while emirate in india trades copper and cotton but there are new areas developing the growth of india's i.t. and software industry is rapid as is china's manufacturing and textile sectors and both provide a market for each other's goods analysts say could be a match made in heaven delhi has the high tech know how well beijing provides the manufacturing might the only obstacle to growth it seems a political one to both countries still involved in border disputes although their leaders say they intend to work towards a settlement and that could unlock a vast economic boom in this part of the world and a national affairs analyst or three ramaj charlie as the beijing and new delhi have

all it takes to make a good business team. president xi jinping chose russia for his first foreign visit after assuming office and premier li kitchen has chosen india for the first foreign visit so it does show that for the chinese the greeks formation is very critical in india also we take it seriously and intra bridge street has been growing at a tremendous space and if you're trying to trade i think they're projected to reach up to one hundred billion dollars in the next couple of years so that's a very ambitious target of increasing it almost with forty percent and if they're cheap it it's going to benefit the rest of the brics countries in so far as it's already creating momentum because india and china are obviously the two major economies in the brics formation and there is an effort on the part of india to attract chinese investment especially in our infrastructure sector so the growth agenda of these two missions which is what is making them so important in the world

is very connected to truly investment strategies and that for i think the chinese premier means when he says that this is going to this partnership if we can iron out some of the i'm comfortable aspects of it it will turn out to be of invent competition. and now an update on a soil we've been covering here on our team moves ahead to legalize a same sex marriage in the u.k. within the positive half the bill has been positive the house of commons despite one hundred and sixty one m.p.'s including members of the prime minister says conservative parties saying no to the government plans on that in the next hour. now prime minister cameron is expected in brussels of this week for talks on e's struggling policies although everyone around the table knows the u.k. has got one eye on the exit with cameron's part to secure a draft a referendum bill he has wanted the british public seems to think now close to half

of those surveyed to for a national newspaper. say yes to leaving the e.u. as opposed to thirty percent who voted to stay as for when they want to decide forty put forty four percent say in now and twenty nine percent say they're ready to wait until the conservative bills deadline of twenty seventeen a number of britain's a business leaders have warned that the swelling n.t.e.u. sentiment and uncertainty could scare all vital foreign investors you can independence party leader nigel farage says there's another reason the referendums needed now well it would have been really damaging to the u.k. economy is if we'd been stupid enough to join the euro zone but thank goodness we said no otherwise we'd be in a very similar state to many of the mediterranean countries today so that was the first big good decision that we made now i do understand the argument about it. even though i very much take the view the trade would go on between britain and the

rest of europe completely unaffected by us leaving political union for all european countries self obligated to us that we do to them but i do understand that in the things where you're told it could be bad for perhaps even five years debate on the subject could lead. to all which really reinforces my view what cameron has done here is to attempt to kick this issue off into the long grass and really we've got to have a referendum to sort this issue out before the next general election but when i wrote him here's how one italian and entrepreneur choice to tell the country that it needs to quit the eurozone he climbed to the day most in peter's basilica hoping for a little divine intervention and while on top of the world's largest catholic cathedral they appealed to the pope to help persuade the government to have more slaves and going it alone. but of all the things the e.u.

might have on its plate right now it seems that the most of the pressing issue for them right now is all of oil years artie's peter oliver. from the start of next year the european dining experience is set for a small change that could have potentially huge implications after that deadline restaurants will be able to serve all of oil from small bottles like this that can be topped up they going to have to serve it from sealed bottles that can't be refilled now this is being put into law from brussels by the european union and it's going to come into effect as i say from the first of january next year now to talk more about this and what it actually means i'm joined by steve meissner from the german political organization a party of reason steve see you surely has bigger things to worry about than this right now i would think so this seems to be almost like a caricature of the you with their with their constant meddling and small problems

and making small problems into big problems than you would think they would have enough to do with the euro currency problems and the debt crisis in southern europe but now here we go having to start dealing with restaurants and what they can serve an open car if. it's sort of joke really it also it just smacks of a lack of self-awareness the e.u. is under attack from many different sides you've got people in britain wanting to pull out of the union and they go and live up to the stereotype of bonkers brussels bureaucracy and make legislation about all of oil as it does seem to be a real lack of self-awareness that is why do they think seems to have too much time on their hands perhaps many of the problems you aren't even big enough that they still have the energy and tax money and very proud to spare to spend on silly experiments like this or believe programs like this we really have to cut down the whole size of the broccoli that they have don't have

a that much money and b. that many bureaucrats so they can't even come up with the all these harebrained schemes in the first place this is definitely not something that needs to be done on on an international you wide basis how we're going to serve our all of oil in the restaurants i mean i don't see the need for it at all but there we go steve my society very much for talking to us all of oil topping the list of topics that the e.u. deem needs their attention right now. stay right here the world's main top stories up next with me. dangerous experiments on prisoners they want to make money and they have to use healthy guinea pigs in the regular society they're not able to use prisoners i mean they wish they could. drug tests on human guinea pigs. paid
