nuclear. was placed into the reactor is considered to be fully functioning nuclear facility now it's going to take a few weeks for the fuel to be fully placed into the reactor and. a couple of months before they start. producing electricity but for the iranian side it is a relatively short wave considering more than three decades that the people of iran have been waiting for these to come on stream the construction of these initially began back in the seventy's it was spearheaded by the german companies. from their project after the. nine hundred seventy nine and it was not until late ninety nine to their russian control over their project has been plagued by financing difficulties also has been hampered by the international pressure applied

in iran due to its own enrichment program the head of the russian atomic energy agency was very my satisfied with the quality of work it's a unique because it's very difficult to build new equipment into the equipment that was there from the. international project ten countries supplying the equipment european countries as well as asia pacific countries what i'm saying is it's not just a russian project it really is international and it's very important russian officials . the willingness to continue providing. these by no means is going to put in. your a new program that cost so much controversy around the world the united nations security council has asked for stats of sanctions all together the public none of them directly after that. the construction of this plan according to russian officials they believe that the current their arrangement with iran is impact both

from the point of view of nuclear nonproliferation russia's the plies feel to iran it takes back this battlefield and everything all the operations are happening on the close monitoring of the i.a.e.a. inspectors people here and also have reasons to be fearful and that's because of latest reports coming out of israel calls to bomb these facilities and nevertheless iranian officials say they have absolutely nothing to fear. because we mooned this is speaking to soon to. be you to sleep. with these these these. these. it's the psychological. we do take it seriously who do we do it and. we were vigilant. just as look at me to do or see the suv use the russian companies are also

holding that the. completion of this plant also will secure them a stake in the in the constructing other plans that iran is expected to build these country has a very ambitious plan of building up to twenty nuclear power plants over the next few decades over the most thoughtful kaufman's a security expert from the most base institute of world economy and relations he says it's important to differentiate between blue share and iran's nuclear weapons ambitions. i think that there could be a difference between and the problem that could be military proposes a military already on the program and the program for peaceful transition the planet. regarding. managing i think directing any proliferation of nonproliferation concerns at the minimum but regarding the

richmond program there could be some questions and concerns over the nature of iranian problem this is a major victory of course for iranians because iran is going to be practically has become a force that contrie in the near and middle east which has. acting existing atomic power block. for russia it's also a very great success because russia has proved that such a rush on abiding is abiding for a long liberation standouts hold on to patients bond boats and routes according to the i a e a. now official say suspected organizer of march his deadly mosque a match and bombings have been killed by washington security forces full of the alleged militants will also be shot dead in the special operation in the south the republic of dagestan. thomas brings us the details. the fishers are telling us that

one of the masterminds and the organizers of the mosque a man from bombs on march twenty ninth happened during rush hour on the breadline on the media and arbitrary metro station right here killing forty people and injuring more than a hundred people so this is been someone that authorities have been trying to get to for some time and at this point time that they say they have successfully killed the mother mother ali back up as well as for others in his operation. and spoke. with a. now the as famous as the big apple itself that are about to become history fine down wall south links the iconic l.a. council in new york has to set the houses plus. now on a four hour journey by boat to one island that's all the excess of the summer months on this island we're visiting a village populated by more people the more meaning coast well as we explore the lives of more people their traditions their culture past as.

u.s. intelligence community or so keen on getting him to the united states first they try to recruit him to be cia made several approaches to recruit him refused him all the logistics of legal and illegal arms supplies all or all the world him knows a lot of the cia front companies that are involved in smuggling and providing the cover up for both smuggling in drug trafficking in afghanistan and in latin america and he knows about all this financial schemes yesterday mexican president openly accuse the united states first for promoting drugs culture and in promoting their violence in africa and latin america american started selling with two of the richest and them bitches industry which is what the american women's industry is it is clear to me that they would create a conflict in a poor country in africa just to sell weapons to see

a movie or making money in this situation mexico is going through for them it's good business to sell weapons to criminals. if you connect the dots it boils down to these united states exports instability and to expand instability and to keep it running you have to smuggle weapons and because too much how the united states smuggles weapons that's why they run a character assassination campaign against him because he's more dangerous than we kill it's for the us smuggling role in weapons not only in africa and latin american but all over the world. when you can find more on this story and of course everything else will convert all websites on to dot com here's what else is online pew at the moment the option that one month to prove is the legal owner of the kremlin descendants of the country's founding dennis d. the lord ricks is suing the state to get the property their forefathers built and

reasons it runs and runs and runs but too much of the world this car is more than just a dependable cab and this is sort of the feel just like the statue of liberty symbol or not it will be scrapped altogether run into the bone yard of cabs two thousand and eleven is the last model year that that ford's going to make it across victoria texaco actually wrecked the crown victoria it all built ford tough hasn't proven tough enough for these economic times sluggish sales and a push towards fuel efficiency in new york means they'll be out of production on the last of them will be off duty for good and if you hear. some twenty fifty deaths classic new york taxi cab will officially be a thing of the past history will be filled with more cabs that look like this this one's a hybrid. and make it better gas mileage and save cabbies money but it's not exactly that iconic new york taxi ride time to replace. the idea he didn't

significantly increase the amount of grain imports this year the government says it has another reserve to cope with this year's poor harvest however economists believe the higher prices being pay for weight will never bracy through the high street indeed of question of reports. we. all know bread and even five grain bread russians bread nearly anybody else in the world changing prices of this staple would make seriously impact the amount of money in people's forgets because of its importance right even on the government of this racing product where price rises that's subject to control if they start going to power the federal until monopoly service is currently investigating in the number of bakeries for imposing price hike as much as twenty percent but given the fact that global wheat prices have soared seventy percent in the last two months it's hard to

see how consumers can be completely him in that is to all the inflationary fears that we have seen are not being passed on completely to the consumer i think inflation may pick up in september it will all depend on the economics and the market dynamics the steve's decision to ban grain experts which came into effect of the beginning of this week will only do so much to control prices domestic wood consumption in russia is approximately seventy five million tonnes the latest forecast for the harvest fall well short of that. the forecast for this year's food harvest ranges from fifty nine point five to sixty three point five million tonnes but it's also possible that we could even go below that figure which. russia does play an important role in provide. the world when it's carbohydrate it was the third largest exporter of we did two thousand and nine but this year the weather

has been so appalling that the foreign land is unlikely to recover immediately when the rains come having implications for the winter harvest and even next year's crop might you know question our business are to eat. less of local markets now here in russia the stocks have tracked global trends then closed down for a third day on friday both all of the metals were in retreat dumping the investment of pain of quality producers. iron and steel drop three point seven percent while gas bomb ended down one point more than. that looking back on the week sentiment has been broadly negative on the russian markets we've also shown some volatility so i'm unberth from consultancy invest because they wraps up the last five days trade. this week was kind of usual week for august because. it's end of summer and august is a very scary months for russian traders and for russian stock markets. it's quite volatile but for the recent three weeks we've been very narrow range in terms of

this is we don't break that. recent economic statistics from the u.s. is not encouraging because for example on thursday you are saying this is a big deal because of the statistics about manufacturing. jobs claims commodities prices right now are not supporting. the current commodity levels are. already in the prices of the russian stocks there was a lot so in. terms of fertilizer industry. in syria might emerge soon and the information which came in on friday about chinese company which might participate in the offer for. that information. is quite important for us. crude oil is not a six week low it's been struggling to break out of the seventy to eighty dollars

range for moments after briefly hitting eighty two dollars the beginning of august prices it slipped back on concerns about faltering economic growth and high in the trees in the u.s. as alexei corking from metropole explains the risks appear to be mainly on the downside for the rest of the year. i rather doubt this country a major breakthrough is to say. the next three to six months but we'll probably see world going through eighteen to the eighty's or five. thousand and eleven but if we were experiencing it in excess supply. probably see prices troyer through the big question is is the month sustain this level. and there's some doubt as to chinese chinese demand if you look at the three year and you know growth apparently enchiladas it went

down quite dramatically took about three percent a year so the question is what was behind them on the first how cute someone off a friend for instance of a program to help the chinese comes to increase the strategic stocks of crude i'm products and perhaps just now over that's the case that i have in my potential kerry case of four six five. four three zero to ministers by the end of fear. and that's all for this hour but you can always find more on our website r.t. dot com fans business.
