best of russia. and this time we're heading a seven thousand kilometers from moscow to the country's far east russia's biggest island is also one of the country's most prosperous regions located not far from japan it was the seam of territorial struggle between moscow and tokyo in the early twentieth century in the late one nine hundred thirty sayen became home to thousands of koreans sent there by japan as cheap labor and i spoke to members of that new committee who still call the island their home. aunties close up team continues its inside in the cycling region in the russian far east and this time we'll talk about what this region is like in terms of its social structure now this region has more than

a powerful million residents predominantly russian more than eighty four percent of the people living in the cycling island and everywhere around the region are ethnic russians also we have less than six percent of ethnic koreans the diaspora which was sent here by japan at the time when this this island was occupied by the land of the rising sun and the korean diaspora in the second is the largest of all russia we know that all this half a million koreans living in every way across russian mainland but the biggest chunk of this diaspora is living in here in the cycling region and we did a report with inside on the tragic story of these labor migrants in this part of russia let's have a look at this report right now. korean that prefers to be court judge a court or russian style this nineteen year old man who worked in saddam schoolmarms for more than four decades ago was under two different political regimes he still remembers the night his life changed completely.

japanese soldiers came to our village in korea in one thousand nine hundred three and dragged me and some of my family out of our house they said they were taking us to sakhalin to work in a mine and promised we would only be there for two years but as you can see i'm still here. kim lives in a small mining village in eastern sakhalin home to several hundred people whose share his story koreans were sent to cycling by japan as forced labor migrants to work in coal mines thus they supply talk with the resources needed for the war. the japanese occupation ended more than six decades ago and most of the coal mines are no longer operational but the koreans are still here. just under a thousand koreans were sent to suckling by talk while their country was on the japanese rule thanks. they're almost fifty times as many

living on the island and if the third generation has adapted to live here some of the older people who see themselves as forced migrants still dream of going back given their holiday gatherings turn into political rallies i think we demand historic justice. this organization deals with we've got three ation and has helped more than fifteen hundred koreans return home over the past twenty years its president says this number would be higher if talking or provided help you said that we should do and as we believe japan is guilty of causing our situation in the first place since nine hundred eighty five we've heard tokyo apologize twice you know but it hasn't gone anywhere from there there's been no action that's why we rely on our own resources and help from russia and south korea. moskos stance is to assist the repatriation of the cycling koreans and local authorities say they try

to do just that but the number of people wanting to leave is diminishing every year but it is the cynical with a but will fully cooperate with local green organizations on a pattern but ethnic koreans are getting more and more into someone in life they held positions and then ministration there is successful in which no business and they get a good education that's why some even come back after repatriation to korea. says he'd happily return to korea but all of his family are here so like many within the diaspora he sees no point in leaving his home even if this was not the home he chose. reporting on the suffering we. all want to invention that has undoubtedly made the world smaller is television later martyn andrews looks back at the days before high definition high five flat screens to watch soviet life as seen on t.v. . the first television broadcast in russia was in one hundred thirty one by the

months and fifty's people in the u.s.s.r. could watch three television troubles on receivers like this one here. join margin in about ten minutes time here on our t.v. but first charlotte n.c. why business update and we hear there's good news in the world of mergers and acquisitions oh yes i mean the activity has gone up the first quarter in a row which is the best results in two years of war on this in just a minute but first this hour the world bank is planning to jump start lending in russia with the funds to buy bad debts from banks is so this will free up cash so the banks can ease credit the world bank's international finance corporation is in talks to spare bank and russia's deposit insurance agency which was set up in two thousand and eight to buy troubled lenders bad debts in russia believed to be

here in moscow the balsa mixed this hour bouncing back slightly from earlier losses banks are providing support for spare bank gaining nearly two percent on the r.t.s. energy majors of the main drag with gas problem down one percent. so news in brief gold prices have hit a new all time high forcing one thousand three hundred dollars an ounce the precious metal has been enjoying a sustained rally as investors look for a safe haven economic uncertainty and to climb in dollar since the beginning of the year gold has jumped by thirty six percent now the metal unit of russian and gold miner petro pub last pounds to raise up to four hundred million dollars by holding an i.p.o. on the hong kong stock exchange a source of investment fund says the company has already begun a road show order book is to close and six taber one pricing is jews take place over the second russian firm to be listed in the hong kong after i'm even in produce that will sell now russia offers tremendous potential for carbon trading

that's according to a group of international experts who've gathered here in moscow to discuss the possibilities of developing the markets one some say could be worth more than two and a half billion dollars a year medina a question of what has the details. carbon trading was one of the key elements for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to greet and vicky out a product called russia was the last to ratify the product which came into effect in two thousand and four life under the trading system and government issue permits to companies to this certain volume of greenhouse gas if a company then once to invent more c o two equivalent than it can buy the right front in another company that will emit less the system also works between countries but even if the mechanism were widely adopted it still would not properly address the problem of greenhouse gas emissions the challenges are it's more from what your political level i mean we have you know china as

a new power and in the world that is growing and is growing its emissions we have the united states that there's still a bit reluctant. to reduce emissions because that will hurt the economy we have for europe europe that's very active the first domestic carbon trading proposal was made by russia's largest bank is burbank the c.m. thirty five companies made beds for seventy seven point five million tons of c o two equivalent meanwhile ukraine's national environmental investment agency wants to created joint carmen trading platform between russia and belarus carbon trading russia really just kicked off the approval of fifteen projects which reduce emissions thirty small scale so far with some way to know just on the forty million tons of carbon to put out the context of surround three hundred fifty million euros but the potential is much greater however the private sector is has

a tenant about making long term investment in content trading as the chronicle exploits in twenty twelve and its success has not yet been a great the weak governmental support for emissions trading is adding to the uncertainty of these markets. with a long term view because we believe that this by the difficulties we are observing in terms of finding a new international agreement we believe that we would be leaving it to you to constrain the war so far very little money has been made from carbon trading in russia without profit incentives it's hard to persuade private companies to get involved in the markets but the governments will get enough a chance to rewrite the rules in two thousand and twelve when the kyoto protocol expires and possibly build in more financial incentives for companies to go green might you know question implies there's aunty. and that's your update for the most
