thank. you. eight pm here in moscow right now this is the welcome to the program if you just joined us this hour i'm kevin zero in with the top stories and first roaring engines and hard rock music shaking the ukrainian city of sevastopol as an annual international bike show gets into gear this year's festival of ever had an unexpected guest running of the action artie's catarina zara but was their fourth. one thing can be said for certain about the russian prime minister he certainly knows how to make an entrance arriving at the bike show that is taking place in the ukrainian region of the crimea just outside of the ukrainian city of sevastopol the russian prime minister made his entrance like all of the other people here did on a bike admittedly it was the first time that he was seen any public on a motorcycle and the crowds here later said that it was an experience that he very much enjoyed specifically because of course the bike is very much associated with

freedom and the free journey that most bikers do experience when they take to the roads and of course everybody here very excited to hear that they greeted with cheers they at least reacted responded to everything that he said all of the wishes that he bestowed upon them and thanked them for inviting him to this very event this annual event that takes place in the ukrainian region of the crimea. is the most democratic means of transport. today but on the whole bikes and widely available and it's possible to say soon balanchine inanimate objects is the most courageous adventurous and the fastest means of transport and what's most important it gives the owner of the bike the sweet feeling of freedom so without any exaggeration we can openly say that the bike is a symbol of freedom. every year bikers from around the world gather here driving

down to spend a few days in the crimean sun by the lake just have some fun enjoy each other's company and this year was and it was one of those who shared that freedom and that joy with them of course in this speech he touched upon many prominent issues of course thanking first of all the ukrainian government for making such a thing as the bike show possible and making it a possibility to happen of course congratulating everybody not only with this event but with the up. coming of the russian maybe which craniums and the russians according to legend it will be celebrating together of course the russian black sea fleet its station just a few kilometers away from here on the black sea in the city. and you know which maybe parade is scheduled to take place tomorrow morning on sunday morning so a great event most of the people here will actually move over to the city to watch the parade to take part in the festivities all in all of very happy occasion with him making his mark left just the way he came on

a bike. but no matter how much george is doing in the saddle the sunglasses normally made way for more sober time with him and putin got down to business with ukraine's president the leaders met for talks ahead of russia's navy days we had about just with the celebration should have been crimea with a black station. but it will come your way and i'll see this find out who president is making to be a rounds later is that the story. who wants to live forever those willing to place not just their face but also the brains of bodies and scientists in the hope of. struggling homeowners traveled for miles and queued for over twenty four hours to get free advice being offered by a mortgage advocacy group in washington d.c. they say the government's aid program has failed them despite talk of an end to the financial crisis more than three hundred thousand homes are still reprocessed every

month in the united states. these are the faces behind the crisis we're waiting and hoping and praying to but we can decide to get help everybody really help to help and that's what we're looking for help the desperate voices of those who have reached the end of the line for him to land what time nine thirty nine thirty last night and if you sleep here you're gondola mccrone naomi lawrence took several buses from florida eighteen hours then arrived at the washington d.c. convention center thursday morning waiting thirty hours to get in oh you've been our boy it's tat and we don't have no place to go and bathroom. but they waited anyway for a chance to restructure the mortgages on their homes all part of the save the dream tour good you need to go all the way put on by the neighborhood assistance corporation of america earth parent or natca this is a look at foreclosure activity around the united states during the last year the

height of it came in march of this year but never once did it fall below three hundred thousand homes in a month everybody here has tried to work with their lender and it's failed c.e.o. bruce marks calls himself a financial terrorist and with the help of many volunteers works with people to help them they get counseling and meet with lenders to come up with an affordable mortgage or to lower their interest rate or books not everyone qualifies but everyone is at least promised an answer the where in adjustable rate mortgage rates just keep going up and there's this and believable napco targets people with nowhere else to turn my more dish basically is out of reach some actually. choosing whether to keep or pay more ditch. also targets the neos of big banks who they say caused this crisis five protesting outside their houses putting furniture. on

their lawns they also protest inside the capitol even though congress wants to pretend that there's no crisis out there and re president obama wants to pretend that he's solved it the fact of the matter is it's just as bad and it's not getting better deborah phillips told her daughters it was president obama they were here for. the white house that's all they've been talking about. but. i guess that we're not trying to let them understand the struggle a struggle shared by everyone here in varying degrees we've been having struggles with paying our bills we had to take our son out of private school and i'm actually doing it for my dad you can't come here. family members pass away i. went over a thousand miles hard and started a last hope in an economy still in peril reporting in washington christine for sound r.t. ahead of the world through inspiration. project face

we've been taking a look on the wild side and finding out how. to get the. first woman in a stone you face the highest gender pay gap in the european union according to a new report on an average of thirty percent less than their male counterparts and with most politicians turning a blind eye to the problem women are often scared to speak out against inequality. to day the sun is shining on olga it's a break from our hard working life learning money to raise her son but as a single mom she has to swear to town to the factory just to bring in the meat a paper. just grabs it's thirty three degrees celsius in their workshop but our employees don't care if you try to stand up for your rights they'll point you to the door if you don't like it here you're free to leave it's very hard to find a job here in just one year therefore you put up with working in slave like

conditions dystonia has one of europe's worst pay gaps between men and women studies say women get paid seventeen percent less than men on average but in a stone year it's as much as thirty percent people think that we don't have the problem is that there is there where ness of the problem and and the problem that people don't have their gender lenses how to say to see when there is an inequality going on. it goes much further than wages so-called segregation in the economy means women often remain in lower paid jobs like health care and education while men dominate the more lucrative private sector experts say that's not just infer that it's bad for business if for example a concrete to woman feels that she cannot to the job or cannot take up the career that she would lie and she she has a talent for that and of course this is some human resource loss to their corner

there also appears to be an ethnic dimension but as soon as large russian minority receiving low pay the nearest ternium counterparts and ethnic russian women come out bottom of the list it's a structural a show in the labor market. that. russian speaking we mean the they are perhaps working in the sectors where the pages where the wages are especially low and this. of course increase. their pick up even more but it's over it's in a city or gender stereotypes that have been identified as one of the root causes of inequality in green latitudes of what to seen as the proper roles men and women should perform passed down through generations the government says it's trying to weed them out but it's going to take time. i want to meet. the problems there is no point of. hiding the problems that your country faces it is

a lengthy process and. and these had to tutor of people to not change overnight are all good though it's simply a case of double standards. yet there was this international i think it for prime minister was peed myself even if he didn't have to pay the utilities i don't think it would last him a week children and parents are enjoying the summer sun behind me but for many estonian women it's a rare luxury and with gender stereotypes dying hard it could be years before stoning women catch up with their male counterparts tom barton r.t. to live in a stone. it seems relations between russia and iran are rapidly heading downhill president mahmoud ahmadinejad has accused to be true advent of the big a spokesman for the enemies of iran amid image and insisted that wants to continue its friendship with moscow but he claimed that russia's recent statements on iran's nuclear program were quote an advert for america's propaganda drama russia around

have long been political economic partners who have recently moscow backed us proposed sanctions against iran the west fears the country's working on nuclear weapons but insists it's only pursuing peaceful energy. from a moscow state university with the relations he believes with his latest statement be iranian president simply trying to score points among the radical population of the country. i think that behind such aggressive rhetoric there is an. desire to unite the section of the iranian society he relies on this section is not conservative but rather militaristic and i'm a dinner doesn't reject any tools to reach his goals he blames western countries russia c blame some arabic countries for conspiring against the islamic republic but the next time he could say that everything's fine in relations with his partners. for several years i'm a degenerate has been using the same tactics of aggressive rhetoric and despite all the protests on the streets of tehran he is still in power but the methods he uses

in foreign policy help him to stay in office across. more thought about the sort of the. world economy and international relations with moscow he believes despite the harsh comments towards russia the kremlin will still insist on dialogue. i don't think that the russian iranian relations will deteriorate significantly because so we still have a very big economic cooper ration with. the bush out atomic power project is going to be completed. probably next month in the north and so i don't think that there will be drastic was running all the economic relations as well as political relations between iran and the russian federation i don't suppose that there will be the very strong reaction on behalf of moscow to watch it on your own statements because moscow is still thinking that iran will actually be

negotiating the iranian nuclear program on the most who is still holding that the wrong we'll all be listening to the voices of reason. that's why i don't think that's the reaction i want to have or most people do about it. looking ahead tonight's the risks posed by cheap goods made with poisonous chemicals come under investigation in our special report we explore the hidden dangers of innocent looking toys and fake designer goods. coming up next hour. and maybe the stuff of horror movies but returning from the

dead is also the hope of a few with cash to spare a clinic in russia is offering clients the chance to put their brains and bodies on ice until science advances enough to let them outsmart the grim reaper. visited the only facility was timed outside the u.s. . sylvester stallone put death on ice in the science fiction film demolition man freezing his body to be awakened in the future. and more than a decade later must abide by his love for bitching is attempting to have his and more talent on earth in his mind heaven can wait my parents had a mixed reaction to this my mom thinks it's a stupid waste of money most of my friends support me in this decision because they are also procrit iyonix he's paying thirty thousand dollars to have his body stored after he dies at the crew's clinic near moscow which freezes humans in the hopes of

future thirty it's the only the city of its kind outside of the us and so far they can expand accounts tainted four and the head of aid refrigerated gas are stored in this liquid nitrogen field of that cracker was says it can't make any promises but this might just be a way to get a take to find life if science catches up with imagination they'll be transferred to new bodies the cost of a simple brain freeze is ten thousand dollars even if we can't reverse ventilation right now if we can preserve the structure of the information about the course and then we can still put pressure revive him in the future while some in a scientific community support investing in cryogenics they believe major advances in the field are a long way off controlling the fine process is a major challenge but nothing compared to bringing someone back to life. for the problem at hand is resuscitation it's biological death and irreversible derangement

. but if the future can bring this lazarus of the icebox back to life what does he hope to do. my immediate goal is to fly somewhere to a star closest to us. for veges live and. that's mean and what seems impossible today may be worthwhile and many tomorrow. r.t. the top international news stories brief north korea has escalated since threatening response to joint u.s. south korean military exercises this coming weekend saying it's prepared to use a nuclear deterrent it is the latest in a series of threats from the isolated nation following an international report blaming the north for sinking a southern warship in march something pyongyang strongly denies china criticized the planned war games warning action against any action which might exacerbate regional tensions good story for tonight. palestinians and pro palestinian activists who clashed with israeli soldiers near hebron in the west bank the protesters were angered at being unable to access their land after passing

made of wood and able to have people go up and look at it and get involved with that now there's been quite a few yes throughout the festival we've also it's the fifth year that it's been running so there's a section of the shows all the old installation say people can come and have a look at some of the installations from the previous years and then the ones from this year as well spread out now it's got a strong foreign mental fame that the artists are focusing on. better to explain their artistic vision than the arts themselves who can hear from the know what that is worth from my installation it's called the temple of water the meaning that we receive water from the drain pipes from the earth we've got this water mixed in the cubes so when we take a bath we wash ourselves and then there is water at the same time. with these projects called. this labyrinth is made from and supposed to reflect the spiral path of human being so you can try and go through this far away and you drop

not yet had the opportunity to cause their verdict as the result came out of the close of the market. if you're a spanx struggles when markets open on monday this is likely to feed through into russia but according to peter westin chief to suggest that that's on it may represent a boring opportunity for investors. the exposure of the russian banks to the four south european countries plus ireland is two point seven billion dollars a thousand times almost less than what the exposure is for european banks they will be punished the russian banking stocks will be punished but they probably will be punished and justifiably so do if you do see that negative reaction in the financials and you do see russian banks fall in with them and in fact create another buying opportunity of russian financials. the stock markets here in moscow had a mixed day on friday financials were colored by those stress result of european banks p.t.b. and more than one percent but it was

a big day for miners no real cynical ended up one point three percent of reports the government may take a stake michel good one point six percent of the quarter to profit just two hundred twenty percent year over year petra public is looking at the nelson an initial public offering on its own all business. president medvedev appears to have revised russia's economic growth forecast for this year last as leader made the announcement at a news conference with italian prime minister silvio berlusconi. last month the government was still predicting a growth rate of four percent but he is capable of making this year the russian economy will grow by almost five percent which seems to be very good after the crisis however it is still not the growth we need them now the former international air show ended with nearly fifty billion dollars worth of deals last year's paris air show was disastrous in terms of orders as the aerospace industry was hit by the financial crisis many believe this year's u.k.

event the recovery of the civil aircraft industry but in a question of what has the details. this is the a downturn in the civil avocation industry is the deal signed in town bros speak for themselves at nearly fifty billion dollars worth compared to seven billion at the paris air show last year the star of the show. was the boeing seven hundred seven dreamliner made from composite materials the manufacturer claims the planes for the next eighty years will be more on this design this is a test airplane number three you know we will start it by their own plane by the end of the year and we hold that the first customer to launch custom a japanese adeline and they will get it for a streamlined this year russian civil aircraft maker has had a particularly good airshow signing of a ten billion dollars worth of deals in good company agreed to supply malaysian fifty m. s. twenty one planes for around three billion dollars savoy sold seventy f.

and superjet passenger planes in various deals worth a total of about two point five billion dollars on the other side of the question air flow eleven airbus a three hundred thirty planes reaffirming its commitment to western plane making us the asho also presented an opportunity for russian helicopters to market its way as selling four machines to an indian company just as a commercial market for us and separate that the new market with of several commercial operators there but that's not a big want to be confusion there are going to go developed on the heels india so we have additional process on this market to right now new orders at the event didn't come close to the record breaking eighty eight billion dollars an ounce of farnborough in two thousand and eight before the global recession hits still many believe this show confirms the recovery trend that has been in evidence in the stream but some analysts believe the moment is being artificially stimulated. had

added to our true websites as super jets one hundred being sold below cost price and that the results from fund grow up being exaggerated. i think it's too early to talk about the recovery in russian civil aviation we might see in several years from now it is more important to get all the new planes certified and start manufacturing them. still he represents a minority the international air transport association predicts the global industry will make a profit of two point five billion dollars in two thousand and ten indeed hardly a fortune but better than a loss of nine point four billion dollars last year my dimmock which the business ati. that's it from the business team you can always find more stories on our website that's all t. dot com slash business.
