Russia Today in Arabic
Rusiya al Yaum news presenter Ibrahim Al-Kumat
On May 4, 2007, Russia's RIA Novosti news agency launched an Arabic satellite news channel, Rusiya Al Yaum (Russia Today). The new channel uses the same name, logo and format as the English language Russia Today TV network, which first went on the air in late 2005. Rusiya al Yaum is broadcast every day from 7 a.m. to 3 a.m. Moscow time (you can watch it live over the web here)
In 2004, America created the Al-Hurra (The Free One) satellite television network to reach Arabs with news and views unfiltered by Arab governments. Now Russia has created its own government-sponsored satellite TV network to engage the Arab world.

Comments
This video clip of the Russian government's Arabic news channel reports that American VP Cheney just visited the same US carrier in the Gulf that he did before the Iraq invasion where he said the very same things.
The report states that Bush and his deputy are creating something new (problem of Iran) to cover their previous failure (Iraq).
The official Russian satellite channel of Arabic speaking news is propaganda that accuses and incites against America. Another example of "Real Russia"

The translation by 'Arab speaker' was helpful. The West is now fearful of similar propaganda being directed against it in its own backyard, courtesy of Sovereign Wealth Funds.
In a debate on whether SWF's should be controlled one contributor mischievously said: " I think it would help if countries with open capital markets (such as the US and UK) were to put in place some principles and procedures. . . To put the point bluntly, I would not want to see some of these governments (the Russian or Chinese, for example) buying a big media company."

السلام عليكم
الكثير من أبناء المنهج الصدري يتابعون وسائل الإعلام ، ومنها قناتكم ( روسيا اليوم ) ويتسائلون عن سر تجاهلكم لمعاناتهم في جنوب العراق وفي مدينة الصدر التي تعاني من آلة الحرب التابعة لحكومة الإحتلال العراقية ، وقوات الإحتلال .
نتمنى عليكم المزيد من تسليط الضوء ونقل الحقيقة بشكلها الشفاف خدمة للإنسانية .
