if you do to sleep but you don't actually break to be. deterred you should take. all the proof. you need to get. all systems and begins its new kit i was stationed with russia's help and under strict launching of the un atomic. docking found safe special forces troops of the suspected mastermind mulches deadly mall see it's . crunch time for the big apple in the end of a near a new. since its famous sit down stumble along the way our. seats close saltiness set sail from russia's might seem to spoil the locals with

the. see how they keeping history other than. a very warm welcome to you this is a line from moscow we have it around first nuclear power plant is now powering up in the southern city of bouchet under the strict control of the un's atomic watched russia helped construct the reactor has pledged to safeguard the sunlight a mole of the usage of spent fuel rods made international concerns a very rounds nuclear ambitions. the boy has more from the palms. from the moment that the. nuclear. was placed into the reactor the plant 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. to come on stream the construction of these initially began back in the seventy's it was spearheaded by the german companies. research project after the. nine hundred seventy nine and it was not until nine hundred ninety s. that the russian control over the 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 venture 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. to willingness to continue providing iran. these by no means is going to put. on 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. did 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 the plies feel to iran it

takes back this fear and everything all the operations are happening on the close monitoring of the i ate 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 nevertheless iranian officials say they have absolutely nothing to fear you should decrease remove this is you soon to. be. used to shoot. these these these so. it's a psychological. we do take it seriously who we were. we were vigilant. just those who took me to work there are seeing soused the russian companies are also hoping that the sec south 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 of a moral new thing of. capital where we're joined by the best the in political communication at the university of the turnaround professor these are the many thanks for joining us so how is this opening of the blue ship being viewed by iranians. this is a very special iranian people have been waiting for this day for for over thirty years you know idea of subletting this nuclear power plant goes back to one hundred seventy four and after the victory of the slavic revolution in iran the german companies that were supposed to build the plant back to. iran has had

difficulties. reaching this point and as i said it's been more than thirty years so it's a very joyous day in tehran today when you say it's a very special day enter round to see the history of that is there a risk some among the international community has suggested that to share could help around develop nuclear weapons. that's only if the russian government wants to supply iran nuclear material and iran decides to do that iran has said it's not interested in nuclear weapons and the russian government and the companies that are involved are going to supply the fuel and take back the fuel so. for people who say such things i suggest you should not worry about them because the statement politically motivated and not based on facts i came. in the country many critics do agree with that machine itself doesn't have a threat but they still insist that you brainy and is being in which elsewhere

throughout around what's your view on pounds. based on international law countries are entitled to enrich uranium inside their territories as long as they are not using that. for nuclear weapons and the international atomic energy agency has inspected iranian facilities for the last many years and repeatedly they have said that they have not found any evidence that iran is going to nuclear weapons about so you know internationally we have these agencies that are supposed to look into these issues and they have not found anything wrong with what you don is doing with regard to its nuclear program and if that should be enough we have a number of countries united states where example that have a political problem that iran's government and they use the nuclear issue as an

excuse to pressure iran internationally it has nothing to do with nuclear weapons it has a lot to do with the political problems of the two countries well within the international community something is happening late by the fact that russia alongside the u.n. is monitoring the ship that it is they were chaunce that the russian relationship. breakdown we've seen a recent souring in relations save this you supporting sanctions against the country say do you think that we could see that relationship break down as i was saying. to russian government voted for the un resolution a lot of people in iran disappointed the sanctions target iranian people so we would expect that the iranian people would not welcome them but iran and russia are neighbors and. the united states has surely pitted lead that it breaks its promises so it i think russian leaders russian government are smart enough to realize that

what's best for them to realize that iran. is a partner in these issues and the united states use russian leverage. on occasions but in the long run having an independent foreign policy would be the best option for russians i think. is that yes usa they say putting a shot is a first it's a historic day in around but how do you think that a new clear iran might not change the face of politics in the middle east. iran is moving toward in the civilization and it's fully in the serializing it's important country it's a powerful country it can defend itself the nuclear power plant is the latest. achievement that iran has had with the help of russia in this regard so it's. not really surprising that some countries may not like this

you know for example iran had this corrupt government over thirty years ago the shah's government that was supported by western countries the people of iran overthrow that government some of the western countries the united states included have not gotten over that fact but that wasn't the problem with the russian government russian government never really supported the shock of a man so just because iran iran's advances may not be broken by a number of countries doesn't mean that the international community would have a problem but that a lot of people all around the world are celebrating this day along with the iranians because this is not going to have meant just for iran it's an achievement for countries that the stand up to international pressures and can achieve what they need to achieve if they have patience and. have answer political communication and training estie many things they still. now plenty more coming your way

a few minutes asking some of the impacts of the disasters all spill in the gulf of mexico have a fuss that comes when he says business was solid. hello welcome to the business program with me charlayne was folly russia will not 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 price is being paid for wait well there was a brief a through the high street question of our reports. we. walnut bread and even five grain bread while russians read that nearly anybody else in the world changing the price of this table that would make seriously impact the amount of money in people's baguettes because of a course that's right even on the government's a list of the basic products where price right is 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 this state'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 with 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 the deformed 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 our chain. let's have a look at the markets down here in russia the stocks have tracked global trends in close down for a third day on friday both oil a metals were in retreat dumping the investment of pale of quality producers. iron and steel dropped three point seven percent while gas problem ended down one point more than. looking back on the week sentiment has been broadly negative on the russian markets we've also shown some volatility so i'm going work from consultancy invest cathay 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 us in stock markets and. it's quite volatile but for the recent three weeks we've been in a 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 come or the two levels are. already in the prices of the russian stocks there was a lot so in. terms of fertilizer industry. might emerge soon and the information which came in for the 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 industries in the u.s. and as alexei caulking for metropol 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 you oil going through eighteen to the eighty's or five. thousand and therefore if we were experiencing it in excess supply.

probably see prices lower i think 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 here and you know growth apparently enchiladas it went down quite dramatic it's about three percent a year so the question is was three high demand in the first help you to someone else a friend for instance or a program to help the chinese come to increase the strategic stocks of crude on products and perhaps just no five that's the case that i have in my potential kerry case of four sixty five. with a bill to make. by the end of the year. and that's all for this hour but you can always find more on our website called flash business.
