approximately sixty percent of the imports came from illegal fishing. the european union is ironically taking fish from some of the poorest nations on earth so this is a very serious and very urgent problem that needs immediate international action. to ensure territorial waters they fish they load this fish into the ships and leave for europe. to do illegal fishing is taking the bread out of our mouths.

president putin says his ready to sign a pardon for russian tycoon mikhail khodorkovsky who spend more than a decade behind bars for the betterment and talks about. this announcement came up to person face more than four hours of questions from journalists on russia's domestic and foreign policy. and honesty international says hardline syrian rebels have established a new form of tyranny and forcing a reign of terror with secret prisons where children as young as eight are allegedly tortured.

international news live from moscow you're watching our international with me. and welcome to the program and the breaking news this hour president vladimir putin says he'll sign a motion to pardon jailed russian tycoon mikhail khodorkovsky the businessman who spend more than ten years behind bars for bessel and has reportedly already filed a petition to be pardoned and joining me now live for more is on she is a gold piece kind of how they were so why has put in decided to pardon the businessman well the media conference lasted for over four hours with the biggest news really happened after it came to an end to the president was surrounded by a group of journalists and so on the question about the only valid out from the president that the forwards a cool head asks the head of state to be released from jail and the president says

that the man has already spent ten years behind bars and he is looking at signing that order. as i still don't know who the kospi recently wrote a petition asking me to pardon him he spent more than ten years in prison this is a serious punishment that he signs humanitarian reasons and his mother is suitable in the i believe to account of all the circumstances it's possible to take a respective decision and in the near future i will sign a decree to pardon him. used to be one of the wealthiest people in the ward and one of the most influential in russia in two thousand and three he was arrested and then found guilty of first of fraud and then a separate case of money laundering and embezzlement his sentence is supposed to end in two thousand and seventeen and the news that came from the president was greeted with applause by human rights groups even reportedly took his awards by surprise. you. can all feel like they were thank you very much indeed

for that and let's now get the view of political analyst dmitri babbitt chung put his decision to pardon what are called ski and i dmitri very nice to see you right now so there's ten says that hunter called ski good filed a petition before but he didn't why would have done it now well mr kirkwood he has just a few more months before he is supposed to be released from jail just because he is government expires there were several. previous you've ordered sexual year old boy that or shortened them on the time he would have to spend in jail. so in this way he just buys for himself six or seven months or a normal life. i guess there. i don't know it's very hard to say what the precise reason is maybe it has been sore stubborn for because he would put

it in his system or something told me aliant to pause now or probably here understands this is done better and he understands that this is not going to be a humiliation to ask for an m.n.c. of from president putin. if he had filed such a petition would spit in have supported that one is this a political calculation from police in kenya well i would be surprised if we didn't before because if you followed hundreds or thousands trials you could see a lot of very high placed officials russian high placed officials who in fact gave testimony all the course key that was done by the former finance minister for whom he was still the finance minister is a fine that was done by a former economic development minister. so i don't see any reason why point and he

should be afraid of doing that i absolutely adore the bar in the west and the area that putin is afraid of because of course you i don't believe that. will go on and therefore poison at the presidential election russian people remember how fortunes were made in the ninety's and certainly the richest russian man or the one just would not inspire sympathy in too many russians just you know a very limited circle or the richest russians may be. but to hold a cold case lawyer as well as khodorkovsky himself say that they actually didn't ask for a pause and what's going on that. well we'd have a very strange case or miscommunication. mr gorski or all these people. without two years on your snow in about it it's possible because he is known to take his own decisions not necessarily taken advice or

maybe missed important just decide that it's time to. any case i remember there was a lot of people from the russian liberal intelligentsia ask who can bargain for his term expires so what i'm sort of responded. to their letter so i would see . that announcement comes amid a new case against ucas what they're called skis for my company as you know how well it affects the investigation want to think. well. you course was a huge company and. billions of dollars certainly a lot of them a lot of this minute was not quite clean because you know they're going to get himself acknowledged that they did this all on tax up to my station a lot of this money is now abroad so i'm not surprised because it's been

investigated. so i think that of course you're free doesn't exclude the possibility that he may be questioned about this money so i hope george will be found out and probably will get its money back. i mean trade damage political analyst live from moscow dmitri thank you very much indeed thank you and action returns he joins me now live from london for more i'm not a says mr tung's a welcome to all see so how is that they sent out a mint come as a surprise to you. well we knew that he was going to walk free theoretically in or gets to two thousand and fourteen we've got to remember that he's been done for embezzlement he's done for stealing oil in a sense that third you cos trial which president putin was talking about of the q. and a in the past few hours was the important one because they radically those charges we don't know what the court authorities in russia were going to pursue but

it was supposed to be a grand conspiracy and we know that cordoned off he was in talks with chevron and exxon close talks with the state department people in the bush white house and the obama white house similarly were on his side that's what most people consider to be the case in which case it was this grand conspiracy not the greatest theft in world history as it's been known from. that sense but how was he going to manipulate oil resources and energy resources in russia with the united states that was the big question that was the third trial and president putin seems to be saying that he doesn't see it is feasible and why from your point to he president putin would pardon someone who allegedly caused him so much trouble. well we know he caused trouble because he embezzled so much money as we were hearing one of the richest men in russia as i say the reasons for putin's pardon

we probably would know for quite a while famously go to costco as an amnesty international prisoner of conscience international us very close to the u.s. state department presumably the president believes that there is no further a benefit for the russian people but of course ultimately be up to the russian authorities besides the president to decide on the future of cortical ski because one thing is for certain the russian people will want to know and the russian people certainly applauded putin when he talked again scored a cough ski in the first two trials they'll want to know where is the money they get to get the money back and what what is this all agog been planning for russian oil resources and in terms of electoral politics because we must remember god or gods he favored a more neoliberal economic approach with alliances with the united states we need to know all this information if we're going to get

a third you cos trial we're going to have to find out otherwise maybe it'll be up to journalists and other people to find out if the russian courts are going to. want to cause he only has half a year left of his jail just how much of a relief is that. well as i said august he was supposed to walk free but there was this thirty you cross trial pending which which president putin says isn't feasible there will be voices in russia who will be saying no there is a feasibility of a trial because there's lots more proof that has come out people use everything from wiki leaks cables to more other types of investigative research to show how the head of you course was involved with deals with american oil companies other multinationals and perhaps those very close to political power in washington when it comes to energy reserves so it's it's too early to tell whether this is just the end of it and that

a pardon will succeed in quietly in this story down and certainly the russian people want to know what happened with all their money. has reportedly been targeted by a new investigation related to a money laundering do you think his surprise pardon may be followed by another sentence i think it could well be the case that will again be up to the russian authorities there are so many different elements of the first embezzlement charges that alone the stealing of oil conviction of the second you cause trial to consider so in a sense he might be being tried twice over if it relates to embezzle but charges that relate to the jeweler prior to convictions but as they say the key trial that people were looking forward to and i presume many russians will be looking forward to is that trial how far was he how far did he want to exert political power for russia and act as

a proxy between washington and and all that money r.t. contributor and she returns i am mr townsend thank you very much indeed for that we appreciate it. and more perspective now on this an expected pardon for me hale was neil clark journalist and broadcaster mr clarke welcome and according to the russian president it to. ten years to ask for a pardon why so long well i think q. sort of brushed this sort of role has a prisoner of conscience in your comments because he's a prisoner conscious or he's a false that he's an embezzler but i think he should relish this and he's become a sort of like two or three western neo cons and the russian folks and so i think that he had a wife or partner early to go along with the script that he was this wonderfully through the prison because of his beautiful used prison by this evil president putin who was his evil mystic traitor so i think the head of the gong that's what

it is i think that's the reason why to be honest and of course king doesn't fall under the new introduced amnesty why he might have taken the decision. well i mean interesting isn't going to yesterday we heard the welcome news i think of the amnesty for the pussy riot and the arctic certainty and these people were protest as they were principled protests whether you agree with them or not they were actually protests and the holocaust is a very different kettle of fish altogether this man is part of a group of oligarchs who affect and stole villains of towns from the russian commonwealth in the one nine hundred ninety s. flow from the russian people this was probably one of the greatest financial crimes of the century so i think that we can see this is part of a trend that i think there was widespread sort of international concern about the arctic thirty there is about could accost feet the fall stuff and i think that a lot of people will be concerned that he may be pardoned early and if he has not going to see his full sentence that even though we're only talking about

a matter of months he really had to think this pardon for what are called skase a need at the international community all the domestic audiences well some people say this is all about sochi about the olympics and i'm going to try to improve the image or russia but i'm not sure if right minded people will think that hardening early as an embezzler on a massive scale is actually going to be russian about a light because most all the people around the world and russians too of course cheekily feel that of course he got what he deserved he's been in prison for ten years but his crimes were quite enormous and a so i think anybody who will be sort of cheering this on you know very strange people who would want a soldier an embezzler to be released what kind of people are i can understand people in our myself are pleased at the arctic thirty in part because their cause i think was a good cause you know trying to save the planet we can argue whether they did the right tactics were going to the right methods but their cause is a good one a noble cause holocaust pete was an embezzler and i think that russian people

particularly people fair minded people around the world will defeat all of arts by put across can think the best place for the real jail. neil clark journalist and broadcaster mr clarke saying you very much thank you. this surprising announcement comes after alleging a person faced a tough q. and a session lasting well over four hours the subjects journalists to push him on the included developments in ukraine the new adopted honesty for prisoners in russia as well as their strained ties between moscow and washington and let's not go back to this kind of who followed the questioning there for us in moscow so tell us more about that historic year in a session the media for itself was attended by over thirteen hundred journalists and of course they discussed a huge variety of topics that edward snowden was. the former n.s.a. contractor who leaked scores of controversial documents on u.s. surveillance programs across the world he received temporary asylum in russia his

exact whereabouts are still unknown due to security reasons for the president they never met personally but he does admired him as a character who definitely made an impact on the world the president's also commented on his relations with barack obama on the tactics used by u.s. services and couldn't resist using some of that famous humor he's known to have mastered. you know we are now after snowden's leaks and america was shocked to learn her telephone had been wiretapped. don't worry she knew what iraq has relations with the u.s. after leaks. with your disability and you want to know how much i feel about mr obama after snowden's leaks i feel jealous i feel jealous because he can do these things and get off scot free still there is nothing to be happy about but on the other hand there's no reason to be frustrated however tough the criticism against

the us may be all these measures have always been aimed at tackling terrorism but there must be some clear rules and certain agreements including those of ethics. ukraine was another issue discussed the country's been going through rough times. in the past few weeks with the protest taking place both for and against also would be moscow is giving him fifteen billion dollars and according to the president that is being done primarily to help the country called where the severe economic problems it's also experiencing and we're going to put an added he doesn't think that integration with the e.u. is the poor of the current wave of protest. she would those who are pushing food the idea of signing an association agreement with the european union these people would govern in ukraine not so long until you get to new it was a foreign minister also headed the parliament to machine is a former prime minister who was ukraine's president why didn't they sign these

papers when they were in power no one was standing in their way they could have gone ahead and sign that would be no problem today i have legitimacy now it's the color of the protester about moving closer to the e.u. it's an internal political struggle signing or not signing this document is just a pretext. now another reason why news about that of course is a such a surprise is because the amnesty that their authority is currently are working on and that should affect up to twenty five thousand people that was discussed and for the first time during all these years no one actually asked a question about that are possibly during the actual conference and self but they did talk about pussy riot who should benefit from the upcoming amnesty and the so-called arctic thirty three increase activists who were arrested in the russian north and are being charged with hooliganism and should expect seeing these charges all of these charges lifted against them and the president did comment on the

organization itself saying that he admires everyone who fights for the safety of the environment but he doesn't agree with the methods that when p.c. users. and ship it entered our exclusive economic zone was not responding and they tried to scale the platform to tend to stop this second boat started ramming governments is that a civil discussion about protecting the environment. it's just. someone's order to disturb our work on developing resources to ensure they serve as a lesson and unite us along with greenpeace into an effort to minimize environmental risks instead of just making a fuss. of course these are only a few subjects which were talked about during the media conference the president also spoke about recent diplomatic breakthroughs like the one with the syrian chemical weapons on the deal and the breakthrough or would be iranian nuclear

program and also spoke about the need to protect traditional values saying that it can serve being conservative isn't about keeping society from moving forward but it's more about preventing it from rolling back. live thank you very much for talking to late again. and. stay with us here on out international. emily forsberg of the car business eastern related demand for his cars by offering his workers increased wages in cash but now in america the idea is to increase demand by offering workers access to more debt more credit which is a slippery slope into hell because that debt of course comes in interest payments and the interest on america's debt is not greater than or approaching america's g.d.p. as it is in japan so the global interest in the global debt is approaching the

global g.d.p. and you answer to this slippery vortex of credit to collateralize hell where no amount of revenue or taxes will ever pay the debt which is exactly what the plantation owner was well we'll be living on the field now. this is the be illegal so we leave the. law of the sea motions to the. poor the musical. shoes that no one is there still with to get big you deserve answers from . politics only on our. this is our city international welcome back children as young as eight hears old are being held and tortured across a network of secret is the most prisons in syria according to shocking new reports

the jails are operated by one of the fiercest a rebel groups their islamic state in iraq and the levant its proxies and laws are so harsh that amnesty international has equated it to a reign of terror smokie or behavior deemed anti islamic can lead to lengthy sentences at these detention centers and even worse as now here more on the report now from salina nasser amnesty international research or mrs nasser welcome to our see you so we'll try the conditions like these facilities at these jails what awaits people who go in. actually in these detention centers run by the islamic state of iraq and sham there is widespread torture torture of adults including and also children. the most common form of torture is flawed gave flogging

against detainees take place on a daily. on a daily every day basically it includes flogging against children we have witnesses former detainees who told us that they have seen children as young as thirteen to fourteen being flogged scores of times. very accusation the children's accusation has been that they have. committed a fast. one former detainee told us that he once counted the number of lashes falling on a child and said that the bath detention facility in the government of iraq part of northern syria he counted until ninety four and he stopped counting anymore. these. reports are very worrying for us.

there are also. trials that are way way way below the international standards for fair trials where the detainees are not allowed to present as by your lawyer they are sentenced to death at a trial that does not exceed three minutes which is. outrageous really. but these groups believe their religious rights to do what they do now is it possible to convince them not to do so. well. the thing is that even if it's not possible to convince them not to do that that's why in the report we have called on the government of turkey to

prevent their entry or fighters and. any kind of equipment including. weapons. that will fall into the hands of the islamic state in iraq and in syria and really have also called on the gulf states to try to prevent any individual on its soil that is siding on its soil to send financial or to material support to the islamic state in iraq and sham that's why we are trying to put pressure. on anyone who has that influence. in providing. a sonic state in iraq and sham with with whatever material that. makes its use a continue using. human rights violations in its rule something that after honest

international research i think you very much indeed for sharing your views with us . the reach get richer and the poor continue to get pummeled why would that be a robber need to run to the rescue along that and the guy has a report up next. the parliament of yemen has put forward a motion to ban drone attacks in the country the motion is now waiting approval by the president and it's probably impossible to enforce unless they could build a really big net or something is a bit strange that now after years of drone strikes in their country the parliament just wakes up to the fact their systems are getting blown up from the sky to be

fair yemen doesn't have a ton of cash and i could see how having the well equipped and funded us military to take care of the al qaeda problem for them for free could be really entice and i mean it must be scary to be a politician with lots of power hungry terrorists about this would be the first time in history that a stronger foreign power fought a weaker states battles for them but the problem is that according to the huffington post a former u.s. state department official in yemen says that every year drone attacks create eight from forty to sixty new terrorists why they create terrorists because according to the human rights watch seventy percent of the people killed by drones in yemen are civilians you know if the yemeni government is really free from washington's grasp and really wants to deal with their al qaeda problem they'll have better luck doing it themselves or the good old rifles and bayonets pointed at the right targets but that's just my opinion.
