when. riviera. cintra hotel. everyone is after a piece of the arctics and the world treasury the best scientific minds come together in moscow to make sure exploration doesn't lead to exploitation. one constant alone in the arctic russia's prime minister vladimir putin says. we must cooperate it was always some of the forest issues at the mall scope forum join me in the actual film or in the main highlights of the poor me just. calling for unity in the big apple as international leaders focus on global poverty middle east peace and world security. and a violent martial arts fighter with extremist views is seeking political asylum in

norway after escaping from a russian psychiatric facility last month. coming up in the business update of a company called the markets takes place. we're looking at exactly what's meant by carbon trading money and about twenty minutes time. you're watching r t coming to you live from the russian capital welcome to the program and now to our top story it may be one of the world's most inhospitable places but it's also among the most keenly sought after and that's why several nations including russia canada and the united states are in the race for the billions of tons of oil and gas which lie beneath the arctic leading scientists and politicians are in moscow to ensure cull through competition does not destroy concert let's get more from. hello there well the regions riches are

a source of great temptation for the countries in the arctic circle now how are they going to divide the territory. by far the horde has issues surrounding one of the world's called us regions is territorial claims put forward by the arctic states at the moment several countries the united states canada russia nowhere and mark are trying to prove their rise to the arctic continental shelf to the territories in the north pole but the question is with this lucrative pie at stake who is going to get bored and what will be the principle of dividing up sharing this pipe now russia's stance is that with the main idea behind the principle is through dialogue and through sitting together and trying to find a common solution now we have the current situation is that climate change like to that the ice in the arctic is melting which means that the access to this vast

resources untapped natural resources an estimated quarter of the world's oil and gas deposits has become easier now russia denmark norway and many other countries are of course now boosting scientific work to find collect data to provide their territorial claims with some scientific reports and so on and russia is also among these countries the prime minister today said that of course the whole region is a sphere of strategic interests but any talk of any fierce fighting of the cape of the world is a good exaggerated to say the very least. anybody who just talked about that we have to hear some futuristic forecasts predicting a battle for the arctic are responsible analysis shows the majority of the frightening scenarios on the future of the arctic have no grounds whatsoever their goal is to provoke clashes among the arctic states and so that those who make the predictions can fish for something in the murky waters but i am absolutely sure

that all the existing problems including the ones over the continental shelf can be resolved in a manner of partnership and according to the. a lot high profile least of guests the today's international oxic forum in moscow shows just how seriously the fate of the arctic is being taken i'm not joined by one of the participants high ranking guests the president of iceland all of work grimson thank you very much for being with us it's a real owner now from from a side it looks like the main dispute now is not even how to save bin farman top this. region of the planet but how to get out the most of it is that true what's the top priority no i think there is very strong on this show by everybody we are going to be sure of this conference of course that the environment great of course but the blessing of the. will create of the

environmental condition of the we all have to be so it's not just a question for you over here in the office it's also but we approach this at all which function the way all of us to govern. and with respect to utilizing the resources we are fortunate thirty years ago. we could get out of the world on the more machine which creates alito for under which it can be determined who has the right to which part of the continental shelf. that this is why i think i'm pretty confident that we will do this sort of a responsible way and i think the recent agreement between boeing and russia which has been short for for decades well now whether it's certainly here with us is a very strong signal from russia as well as this conference here that the russia

wants to do this in a responsible for there were a bunch of welcome. for sure russia is the world's largest state but for iceland what does the arctic mean for your country. well of course we are. in the middle of the north of time and the melting of the ice from greenland on the off take care will have a tremendous impact on the ocean and also of the of the ocean currents that keep iceland warm in addition we have the largest glaciers in europe so all the faithful in iceland under the ocean the runoff is very much tied to walk competition the object but perhaps more importantly l.s.a. in a way unfortunately when the ice will continue to melt the new north and she will open up making a shia to your of america in a new almost revolutionary way we only have to think bachao the sewers come up kids

grow up and trade global shipping more than one hundred years ago the new molson sheetal which will be possible because movement people of the us will do the same when the time because of the copper ship will come from a shell longer a ship called state to them over the long think i'll stop this in the middle in a very strategic push issue and in the discussion with prime minister paul to debate we agreed that we already have to start to discussing the regulatory framework the building off facilities container facilities harbor facilities in order to keep up with this revolutionary transformation of growth rate the chipping in a very responsible way hopefully this talent will continue in just as friendly atmosphere of mutual trust as we saw it to date those of us who know the world of the us those of us who are influenced by the with. the ice

of the snow i think we are brought up in a humble way we realize shifts the forces of nature on a shelf wrong that doesn't really mucked up. they will always be will definitely all were to nations know a lot about cold winters and snow winters to thank you very much for your insight it's a great honor all of a gram some president of planned from the international arctic forum held in moscow . for that was artie's you got there you know good reporting from the international arctic forum in moscow and we'll have more coverage on the disputed area throughout the day so do stay with r.t. . the largest a forum of world leaders is culminating with a nearly two hundred nations rounding off the un general assembly and it's been dominated by hitting poverty goals but with many eyes on the middle east and iran suspect nuclear program now let's get more from artie's see it right now in new york hello there now what can we expect from the a political marathon at the u.n.

session. well you know tessa in the last couple of days we have been reporting the madness that has really overcome new york city in these last couple of days and today is the day when the frenzy really takes another level because this is the day when the big international speeches begin at the united nations general debate session today the big speech is barack obama's giving speech out mahmoud ahmadinejad will be giving a speech and so on and interestingly there's been lots of traffic outside thousands of police many streets off and it's ironic that barack obama was supposed to give his speech about fifteen minutes before this report started and he was actually late so the irony there it really seems like the u.s. president who is hosting this event has really gotten caught up in the sort of madness of the traffic the police and court own golf but he's actually giving his speech right now as we speak and what this speech is supposed to expected to focus

on is really more of an international message last year when barack obama was here in new york giving his speech it was sort of the mean message there was that the united states is ready to cooperate with everyone this time around that he we're expecting that he's going to try to assert again the u.s. power around the world and really show that the united try to show that the united states is a powerful nation because we have to keep in mind that this speech comes when the clock is ticking in the midterm elections in the united states or just around the corner so many analysts are predicting that he will try to win political points while here at the united nations general assembly also it's important to mention that we're expecting the key issues of his speech to be the situation in the middle east as well as the nuclear nonproliferation and of course mahmoud ahmadinejad is expected to widely try to steal the show today we have had a couple of protests take place throughout the week the biggest ones are expected expected to take place today and while he gives his speech and it's interesting

that right i would cite our studios here there are bosses unloading dozens of people. who are coming to the united nations to protest against mahmoud ahmadinejad i saw one boss earlier today that said mahmoud ahmadinejad is a terrorist tyrant a murderer so people are definitely getting very worked up about his presence here so we're going to have to wait and see whether his speech today turns into theatrical which had traditionally does or maybe there will be a more serious message coming out of the u.n. today or will and events like these is one of those rare chances for so many nations to hammer things out between them what other progress is being made. well that yesterday was a pretty important day at the united nations when a needle russia council meeting was held where some progress was made with the nato secretary general seeing that he really hopes ties between russia and nato which sort of went through a colder streak after the time of the georgia south the city of conflict back in

two thousand and eight and because of nato eastward expansion attempts. now nato secretary general is saying that the two sides the alliance and russia really need each other and should try to work together to try to come up with a sort of joint missile defense project a joint missile defense system security is a very important issue between the alliance and russia so this is something that was underlined repeatedly however no plans were set in stone and this was a meeting that took place ahead of a big summit that is being planned in november this year in lisbon ok thank you very much for that update that was artie's and nice to see a churkin of talking to us from new york. well peace in the middle east has featured heavily at the u.n. summit but there's also been speculation over the possibility of israel and the u.s. bombing iran but some experts say the war is over before it even began as four u.s. banks planned to open graduates in the islamic republic later max cards are gives

his view. that as you know on this show i said to tehran if you want to avoid getting bombed this fall by israel's last goldman sachs allow goldman sachs and citibank to open a bank and. therefore they've got a billion or ten or under a billion dollars of loans and you will get bombed hey did you know that world war three started and is and were you aware that by the time you left approaches stand on your way out of the gate world war three started and now it's over. well you can wash a car is a report in just over an hour here on r.t. . martial arts champion who escaped from a russian psychiatric hospital has turned up in norway where he's pleading to be allowed to stay extreme national there. has

a history of violence and was are what he showed up to immigration officials artie's sorry for takes up the story. he ran it decided he could no longer hide not long after his escape from a psychiatric facility in st petersburg features laughed at sick has emerged in norway where he handed himself david to authorities asking them to grant him political asylum that think he's been known to his aggressive fighting within there were a. day as well as lies at the last this party this loving this grabbing the attention wearing a t. shirt with a swastika and carrying a loaded gun he turns himself in he makes a right a quick marks calling for the ugly to die and praising his slavic guard for a party members have openly supported his escape. he called me several hours before that video was made and said he was going to turn himself in i replied that it was

up to him he thanked me for supporting him murder threats assault and robbery and an alleged psychotic breakdown placed in high security psychiatric can but after he transferred to a low security facility he made light work of escaping ripping up a wire fence with his hands he simply walked away the doctors a dissing him too intimidated to intervene serious questions have been raised as to how exactly a psychiatric patient managed to escape and make it out of russia without being caught but really it's funny they tell us that he's totally insane and all he does a scream in reply to any question however he managed to cross to borders and he brought his weapon along i know one member of the slav again who originally came from us because don he asked for political asylum. and was granted a residence visa also i'm not sure what will happen with that anything is possible . now under way the fullest find his fate hangs on whether he'll be

extradited back to russia who granted political asylum in. the state. or region t.v. reporter stein accurate told us that people there are asking how an armed psychotic patient could get into their country so easily. that's a very good question everybody asks the same thing of course a lot a lot of illegal immigrants come to norway every single day it's not that hard to get into norway it's such a high profile person the videos of him are on you tube and internet in the pictures of him and he's a high profile person he likes the attention just like now in court when he stood up and made the nazi salute to all the journalists who was there and he wanted the court to be open and he argued for that there was a court proceedings should remain open so obviously he does get a lot of attention from the public i think most people the general public. would

like him to be sent back to run through as possible and there is of course a fear that the whole right extremist environment in norway will grow up again we've had some very very bad incidents in the past with murders and church burnings and so on and nobody wants to return to that state. ahead of what's happening by logging on to our website and there's plenty for you to see right now at r.t.d. dot com as nationalism gains ground throughout europe far right austrians towards regional power this coming weekend on a wave of islamism. and it needs a group of vigilantes fighting for love in india these commandos have taken it upon themselves to protect newly weds who tied the knot against their parents' wishes for more head to dot com. now russia has given poland more than twenty volumes of documents detailing the mass killing of polish officers in the soviet

union and the one nine hundred forty s. it's part of moscow's fourteen year long investigation into the massacre thousands of imprisoned poles were executed in the cotton forest near smolensk russia has since the knowledge that soviet forces were responsible for the deaths but poland still wanted further investigation into the incident this is the second handover of evidence relating to the case following warsaw's calls for legal assistance. and out to some other international stories in brief this hour pressure is mounting long missions in delhi as more countries delay their arrival for the commonwealth games in india new zealand along with canada and scotland have postponed their travel plans to be event it all comes after indian organizers faced criticism over poor combination for athletes and the collapse of a foot bridge which injured twenty seven workers the games are due to begin next week with local officials insisting that the facilities will be completed on time.

islamic fighting group no men but not men who once worked alongside sama bin ladin says violence has never brought any benefit to the middle east. it's a total failure dealt comes of the jihad movement it's a total failure that means we need to change the structure that's the end of the so i think the main solution is all the islamic groups they should give a. struggle and give it back to the governments where they would be would like them or not. it's not love and hate it's politics. well you can find out what else the former militant leader had to say about islam is the extremism and his former colleague osama bin ladin in about ten minutes time here on our t.v. but first is the business update with charlotte. hello and welcome to the business program with me is folly gold prices are at all time

highs near thirteen hundred dollars per ounce many analysts expect the rally to continue which has seen prices rise thirty six percent since the beginning of the year seen as a hedge against economic uncertainty gold has been one of the best performing us it classes throughout the financial crisis to mccutcheon c.e.o. of gold explains people are taking into account the overall situation in the global economy clearly as a whole the global economy is not doing as well as i think it would like and so all gold is doing is basically acting as an insurance policy if you will on future economic uncertainty but also is doing of course will go always those traditionally is act as a real absolute way of storing well as opposed to nominal value such as national currencies i think the gold still has legs i think it's going to go higher although the reality is that gold's been going up now since over ten years so but i don't say that gold's going to go higher lightly i really think it will because i see

massive amount of money printing throughout the world not only in the u.s. i see other places too for example the bank of japan just intervened on their currencies behalf essentially devaluing the currency and so all of these things taken into account basically mean that been nominal value of gold which is what we see on our screens every day is going to go higher so you are going to get his way it's going to get all the. time now see how the markets of a four million u.s. doctor applied to get the first time claims for unemployment benefits rose last week providing more evidence that the economy remains. is falling in the red. major indexes in europe are also retreating after a key reading on the region's economy indicated weakness in the sixteen countries that use the your right foot see is down more than one percent but it's extending losses as investors remain unconvinced by the pace of economic recovery. and it's much the same picture here in moscow with both the r.t.s. the license the rest energy wages of the main drag of the gas from slipping woman

one percent on the r.t.s. bank has sprung from earlier lawsuits there's no gaining nor paid seventy percent. now the world bank's private sector lending arm international finance corporation is to buy a fifteen percent stake in a critique financial one hundred million dollars ahead of its i.p.o. and create is merging its commercial and investment banks into a single lender for potential i.p.o. an early two thousand and twelve grow courage prancer raised three hundred seventy five million dollars to fund expansion and acquisitions i.f.c. already owns a quarter of one a major shareholders. and also invested two point four billion dollars in russia its second biggest investment worldwide dividing line and say with a bank's healthcare i could coach a telecommunications a manufacturing. now carbon trading was one of the key elements of the kyoto protocol to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lists a russia office tremendous potential for carbon trading as it ran up

a huge carbon deficit the beginning of the decade when industrial production was low earlier i spoke to walk a wilkins head of carbon markets the standard and poor's who explained how the trading system works and what it's worth in russia. essentially carbon trading is when one country trades carbon reductions with another one so if you reduce the amount of greenhouse gas that you put into the atmosphere you can sell that reduction to another country for profit and the same as any other commodity in that respect the only big difference is that it's very strictly regulated under the kyoto protocol above united nations so it is essentially a commodity market it's worth around one hundred forty four billion dollars a year in terms of global alliance trading and most of the activity is in the european emissions trading scheme but other countries are increasingly selling credits into the trading scheme including russia is there is it possible to make money from it there is a possibility to make money essentially if you reduce the amount of carbon you put

into view atmosphere and you invest money to do so then you earn a carbon credit that carbon credit can then be sold at a profit into an emissions trading scheme so it is possible to make money out of your hair not skate for a conference the carbon markets and invest it and that is a situation now what potential it does russia offer for carbon trading well russia at the moment is and box on a major milestone in terms of its carbon trading activity it's just approved the first fifteen mission reduction projects under the j i scheme stands for joint implementation those fifteen projects account for somewhere in the region of thirty seven million tonnes of carbon reductions and they are going to be solved into the international market now while that's not a huge amount of carbon reduction we're talking about three hundred seventy million euros in terms of the value compared to one hundred forty four billion overall globally is still an important start for russia we've been waiting for for years to get to this stage and more importantly russia is now going to carry on ten more

more projects under j.i. and the estimated value of the market for russia is somewhere in the region of two point seven billion euros on the sumption of it it generates one hundred billion tonnes of carbon reduction per year. i'm not sure update for this hour but you can always find more stories on our website r.t. dot com slash business.
