days out team set sail from russia the white sea caves to explore the locals the mystery the hole they keep a history of. a very warm welcome to you this is live from moscow with me out of habit rounds first nuclear power plant is now powering up in the cell phones if you share under the strict control of the un's atomic watch talk while she helped to construct the reactor out of to save. the usage of spent fuel well that some of the international concerns over iran's nuclear ambitions. boy has more from the plan. well and thirty years in the making with the price tag of over two billion dollars by

all accounts the pushchair nuclear power plant is an expensive undertaking and one for which iran has spared no expense the chaparral have always been more than just that energy generating facility for iran it's a symbol of the country's social progress and growth but it's more in touch with government critics the embodiment of the farming republic's an ideological backwardness and a vivid example of the building which are in the diplomatic bargaining chip for years the station has finally come closer to fulfilling its practical purpose but the first batch of nuclear fuel just loaded into the reactor the station is expected to start producing electricity by the end of this year but iran's top nuclear fishel says it's already time for celebration we are grateful to the people go from russia to the government of fresh air to our great friends in russia that were. instrumental in making the course witnessing today.

had not been the assistance of the russians certainly would not have been witnessing such a great thing with temperatures well over forty degrees centigrade the planet as a vivid example of why iran needs to produce more with tricity even with air conditioning running at full tilt the heat is still too much to bear for years russia's top nuclear officials said carrie yucca has been working up a sweat to defend moscow's cooperation with the rand it when you go it's a unique venture because it's very difficult to build new equipment into the equipment that was there from the start the bushehr power plants is an international project over ten countries supplied the equipment european countries as well as asia pacific countries while some countries remain concerned about iran's use of russian nuclear few people of pushchair also have reasons to be fearful valeri and elina have been working in this state. for three years believe the says initially she was

a perhaps of about bringing their children to iran for medical reasons but knows she and her husband have other concerns because she would know and we just saw reports online quinn israel is planning to bomb it's scary when they do local training here there's shooting and airplanes are flying you never know if it's true or not maybe they're preparing for something for many here is a real threat to bomb the station evolved painful memories of the 1980's when saddam hussein's or tillery berridge the cd causing substantial damage to the station itself yet iranian officials and they are confident history won't repeat it here we are not too soon because we know this is a against international. attempting to meet new installations and these are on the get their feet. off the media. it's psychological. we do not take it seriously although we are in there we are vigilant but this does

not mean they are what they are seeing it's a serious russia's role in supplying fuel and technology to iran may and settle some but it could also prevent further confrontation between the two neighbors adding yet another dimension to phrase enrichment for peaceful purposes it's unavoidable r t bush air iran. now officials say is the suspected organizer of mulching is the deadly moscow metro bombings has been killed by russian security forces for all the alleged militants falsely shot dead in the special operation in the southern republic of dagestan altie sean thomas brings us a nice house. officials are telling us that malcolm out how we pulled up all of these has been killed in an operation in the southern republic of dagestan along with four others now this is important because he has been wanted on the federal and international most wanted list for more than two years he's also thought to

have ties to miriam sharif about who is one of the two suicide bombers blew themselves up on march twenty ninth at the would be uncle station shootout with young station and then another suspected bomber blew themselves up here at a park or to a metro station now in this operation we're told that firefighters had a building surrounded there was a fire inside that building they realized that this wasn't about bomb and they were shot and killed we're also told that no policemen were shot and killed or there were no civilian casualties in this operation as well let me give you a little bit of background on the moscow metro bombings are the top off is thought to be one of the masterminds and the organizers of the moscow metro bombings on march twenty ninth happened during rush hour on the breadline on the t.v. anchor and part of three metro station right here killing forty people and injuring more than one 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. off as well as four others in his operation. and also the russians the northern caucasus one policeman was killed and five wounded during a special operation in the chechen republic security officials say police according to a minister into the house in the capital grozny following a gunfight the suspect escaped the building then detonated an explosive device playing himself in the process. moscow says it will continue efforts to bring a russian businessman to put boots came he's accused of being an illegal arms trade and on friday a thai court ruled that he be extradited to the u.s. the decision condemned by russia as political will lower tycoon would have initially rejected washington's extradition. is now expected to be sent to the u.s. within three months he was arrested in bangkok and two years ago and kept custody

ever since the u.s. accuses of terrorism in conspiracies and supply arms to colombian rebels charges that he denies that military analysts are going to crucial police bood has a lot of information about shady u.s. dealings and that's why he's regarded as such a threat by washington. victor boot is a walking intelligence treasure trove there's a phenomenal phenomenal photographic memory and there are several results of why u.s. intelligence community or so keen on getting him to the united states first detroit to recruit here made several approaches to recruit here refuse him all the logistics of legal and illegal arms supplies all around the world and because it would be too much he is more dangerous than we kill weeks for the u s smuggling role not only in africa and latin american but all over the world. or that was aussies military analysts that you could sell there like

a new york's city use some iconic yellow taxis are on the road to extinction with the economic recession pushing food to introduce new food or fish and to calm the production of the down vehicle or simply stops but as lauren lister's been finding out many on the streets of the big apple feel they're losing the jewel in the city's crown. in a city that never sleeps the flow of taxis never stops for very long. the line for cabs is tough taking the pounding in the city twenty two hours twenty four hours a day but for cabbies it's even tougher. so if you don't hustle for cash during peak hours. and for drivers like this one time banker. life on main street means working even harder and faster as a cabbie these days because of the recession. and pounding the pavement in

new york city's sea of yellow there is one car that is keeping this cabbie and many others afloat. for. new york to. get on with. it has kept them running for a while now. since ninety six ninety for practical reasons it runs and runs and runs but to much of the world this car is more than just a dependable cab this is. a. 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 the fords going to make it across victoria to actually make the crown victoria at all bill ford tough hasn't proven tough enough for these economic times sluggish sales in a push towards fuel efficiency in new york means they'll be out of production in

the last of them will be off duty for good in a few years. come twenty fifty deaths a 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 may get better gas mileage and cabbies money but it's not. exactly that iconic new york taxi ride times square plates. the idea if you want. a c lot of people to a few of those who take this one but if you ask anyone in the big apple things in new york move real bad things change that change however isn't always for the better. or would anybody want to sit. in for that cab woven into this city's asphalt fabric that's what you need you don't need a car that's built for a soccer mom to take her three kids to practice and built into the livelihoods of cabbies are forced to buy those car you know the brought. these all these brokers

they're forcing us to buy that car who are struggling this month ahead problem we'd like you know coming up with my rent will new york be losing more. than this american steel from the street this looks like a new york taxi cab is that going to be a problem a long run i don't know you know maybe for the i love new york people that can have a better car sales i think for me and. it is yellow cab start to look the same from manhattan to russia to egypt does new york is a little piece of that so yes. yes of course it's going to be bad for new york. it's on its lore and lyster it's the end of an era you know our t. in this is called new york. when it's story around the middle east first nuclear power plants to one more about this and the

implications are. of a russian political analyst and directs the center for g. and a securities. based think tank. many thanks for joining us all this is a big day for a round story today and now how's the peaceful nuclear technology it says it's been seeking so we'll around now go back to internationally case ations avery its nuclear program do you think. i think of this is a very important step to improve the calamity around the uranium nuclear crisis and i think it will be much easier. p five plus one to persuade iran that we are ready to cooperate with their on the in the peaceful use of nuclear energy and i think russia. did a lot to improve the situation the round of the so called the range of nuclear crisis so i think now it's time for iran to persuade their countries that their

nuclear tensions are really peaceful so i think it's time for iran to move from declaration to practical steps to reach an agreement about its nuclear program but as you say more than one of the countries to improve u.n. sanctions against iran's who is the launch of the bush plan to sign the cooperation between moscow and surround if carrying on regardless. or i don't think so russia do have concerns with regard to some of your in your nuclear studies and transparency of the studies on the russia raise these questions during by laterals so i'm sure that there are some circumstances when russia could. reduce significantly the score by a little copyright calculation with iran including the nuclear field but i hope that after these physical. of nuclear power plants move in different direction i

hope that iran will be better prepared for future negotiations and consultations. on the progress. now it is there still a threat in your opinion between iran and israel or the us is the bougival and a likely target it's a movie the consequences on such a strong. i think that the possibility of a military attack on bush air is exaggerated in the. media for sure is there are. concerns with their guard. iranian nuclear activity but for sure is the world do not consider bush share as the facility which could be used for nuclear military program so i'm not so much concerned that bush era. in addition to that we

should keep in mind that there are a lot of russian scientists and engineers at the facility so a military attack on bush era will mean that it is at the back on russian citizens as well so i am not sure that israel will take the decision to move in this direction now russia will provide the plant with nuclear fuel and remove waste from iran's processing is there any chance do you think that iran could divert some radioactive materials to use the military perhaps is. as you mentioned correctly russia and iran scion and the green man that spent nuclear fuel will be returned to moscow to russia it was signed in two thousand and five so there is no concern right now that iran could use nuclear materials as well which only cait it in bush era for the military purposes just one example in the world there are more than three hundred. reactors the same type of reactor which russia

just recently finished and bush or non of them ever used for military purposes so i have no concern with regard to bush era facilities but i would like to mention again that russia as well as a number of other countries still have some concern with their guard to other iranian nuclear activity for example in the towns and in some of the places now iranian engineers are taking an active part in the construction operation of the nuclear power plant to be shared secrets around use their knowledge also another concern to create atomic weapon. this technology which is used in bush share information which is provided by russian engineers to rein in call it's. unlikely could be used for any military purposes because as i mentioned before this is a very different technology that you could not produce highly enriched uranium or

weapons grade plutonium. facility like a nuclear power plant in bush air so i have no concern with regard even potentially using coal for nuclear power plants for military purposes. unless the director of the center for energy and security studies thank you very much. now i told to discover the pulse of russia comes home from the traditional tourists trail i will close tell team is on the take and undiscovered areas of the country without even having to leave you'll see it. and this week we've been in the coastal region of a hunger in northwest russia for a generation the locals livelihood and heritage have been intertwined with the white city community the sailors fishermen and competence of their own life in the

gold ring cities around moscow that thing around ten minutes from now but first the weekend business update with charlotte. 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 we did of question of our reports. we. all know bread and even five grain bread while russians read that nearly anybody else in the world changing prices of this staple that would make seriously impact the amount of money in people's pockets because of it being the fourth that's right even on the government's a list of racing products where price rises that's subject to control if they start

going too fast 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 an iced 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 state's decision to ban grain experts which came into effect at 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. russia does play an important role and provide. in the world when it's carbohydrates 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 and closed down for a third day on friday both oil a metals were in retreat dumping reinvestment of pale of quality producers like me to of course iron and steel drop three point seven percent while gas from ended down one point one. zero looking back on the week sentiment has been broadly negative on the russian markets we've also shown some volatility so i'm in work from consultancy invest because they wraps up the last five days trade. this week

was kind of usual for august because. it's end of summer and august is a very scary months for russian traders and for russian stock markets and well it's quite volatile but for the recent three weeks we've been in a very narrow range in terms of. 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. job was 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. 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 oil for four. bit 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 caulking for metropol explains the risks appear to be mainly on the downside for the rest of the year. i rather doubt there's going to be a major breakthrough through 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 eleven but 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 year in year growth apparently enchiladas it went down quite dramatically to about three percent a year so the question is was the high demand in the first help you to someone else a fan for instance of a program to help the chinese companies to increase the strategic stocks of crude i'm products and perhaps just no us that's the case that i have in my potential k k so for sixty five. for the whole field to members by the end of. it and that's all for this hour but you can always find more on our website slash business .
