that bunch of agreements many of them dealing with cooperation in the area of an injury for example they signed a technical contract to build to additional nuclear reactors here in china by russian specialists in addition to another two that russia completed earlier the two have also agreed to continue that cooperation in the area of power generation and it in coal and to leaders especially completion ceremony for the chinese section of the translate pipeline that will be the first pipeline sealing the giant neighbors and that will bring the russians who is to say a beer it's you know more than chinese provinces but on the top of all these contracts they also signed a broad political decree declaration in the reach they watch to continue supporting each other on the international arena they also called for the creation of what they called a new democratic world order that's will be based on equality for all the same rule

for all and that will be void of what they again called the kids germany one country or a group of countries this is of course an apparent reference to the united states that whenever you talk about the russian chinese relationship it is always there as an invisible partner partially helping these few giant neighbors to get closer together to lead italy of the two countries are definitely in the same boat often supporting each other in the u.n. security council but at the same time when you talk on their negotiations they're not without sharp corners to so to say we already mansion for example the oil pipeline that is. an absolutely mantises event in the history of both countries but it took almost fifteen years to build it because for years russia and china have been hackling over to the price of oil now they're now in talks very. difficult

talks on the price of gas russia is china planning to build a joint pipeline to pump russian gas see this country but again their. pride this view has been stalling the progress for many many years now china argues that russia has to sell its hydrocarbon see below market prices because as china's official see it if it wasn't for china a red here and a closed buyers and russia wouldn't be able to. hold these enormous siberian reserves but russian officials and says that if it wasn't for russia then china's bars especially those in northern provinces will have to buy their oil and gas at much higher prices and this sort of dispute has been going on for years and years so while the two countries definitely see eye to eye on many international economic issues while they see very important vital partners and each other it is clear that

the negotiations that are going on behind closed doors are very very tough it was on avoiding reporting there from the shino chinese experience may be useful for russia and its strive to modernize the economy so says dr again a bush on a vice rector of the diplomatic academy of russia's foreign ministry. ten years' experience is one of the market economy on that the guidance of the economy aspired to strict government control what's going to be used from this experience i think number one we understand when you get political stability of course in the framework of our democratic system number two when you'd like to have very coherent very consistent and very predictable economic policy and number three when you get to conduct a very peaceful flexible foreign policy of trying to deal with all countries of the world in the other newsagent of our economy i think this is the basic thinks we should learn from chinese because they're very successful in this field. now china

is a prosperous society and its people are enjoying freedoms like never before and that's how american author and public speaker john nice bit sees the state of things in the country and you can watch the full interview with the expert along with dorie snakebit a political observer in about an hour's time but here's a quick preview. it's a social and personal freedom in china that there is never been before in the history of china and that freedom has allowed people to contribute to the whole and to create. an ever greater and more prosperous society so that every level whatever they're doing there's the area with more incitement more energy and of course physically. the appearance of china has just gone to the most modern country in the world.

and the un human rights council will investigate israel's attack on gaza bound aid flotilla in may a recent un report concluded israel's military broke international laws during the raid which left nine activists dad it also described the attack as brutal and disproportionate israel still claims the incident was self-defense and considers a turkish charity group which led the flotilla terrorist link to hamas are falsely or reports. the pictures that catapulted a relatively little known him go on to the world stage in the world in which we live today where sympathizers or sympathize with them are also being called terrorists it's no wonder that i age is being accused in this way the turkish charity first popped up on the cia's radar four years ago it's been banned in israel in germany who say it's strongly linked with hamas in gaza the last thing is my illness would call himself as a terrorist he's

a father of three and says he boarded the ship for gaza for his three daughters all this in a gaza the children should have a right to live freely we want this so why join that organization if another event of this kind was organized i would go again sit up in the early ninety's to help bosnian muslims the i h h or humanitarian relief foundation has offices in one hundred twenty countries where are the roads the people. we will go home or solidarity for these people and it's shown solidarity in pakistan ethiopia lebanon indonesia iraq china as well as with the palestinians we help we'll hospitals schools we have real impressed we are positive for the peoples palestinian writer had a commie says israel is trying to portray the group as a terrorist one in order to try and justify the deadly flotilla grade in the immediate aftermath of world condemnation of what israel had done in these really

is. mounted a defense which was in a way quite clever but with but not based on any on any facts it's now for the investigators to decide to ricky israel and the united nations each with their own inquiry policia r.t. . now for more on the un investigation to israel's attack on gaza bound for till i'm now joined by. nor the executive director of the u.n. watch mr north thank you for being with us here in the program now as we know israel slammed a previous u.n. report calling ad biased and distorted how much more likely you think it's to accept the findings of this human rights abuse investigation well look this report was determined in advance that the human rights council held an emergency session only a day or two after the flotilla incident happened they declared israel guilty of

quote an outrageous attack so the outcome was entirely pre-determined and this is not something that's exceptional in fact mary robinson who was the human rights chief said that the human rights council has a pattern of acting politically and not for human rights let's remember who the membership is saudi arabia china colonel gadhafi of libya is now a member of the human rights council this is not a body that cares about human rights this is a body that is political that is in gauged in a constant campaign to digitalize israel and human rights is the last thing on the minds of members like saudi arabia cuba and saudi and libya and i think that mr garrido and i know mr taylor and i am grateful to burn in hell that different politicized ok nine people were killed involving the nationals from turkey why are you saying that this investigation was pre-determined. because the human rights council decided before the investigation was even set up before the members were

set up that israel was guilty who can think of a legal process where before the judges even selected the body that establishes the inquiry declares that one side is guilty the evidence was disregarded our going to station you can watch the minute evidence regarding the jihadist statements by a number of the i h h militants some of whom have terrorist records including hijacking a ferry in the one nine hundred ninety s. to support chechen terrorists all of this evidence was disregarded none of the evidence including documents that were featured on b.b.c.'s panorama by jane corbin showing the jihadist intentions many of the people who were killed in the nine people said in advance that they wanted to be martyrs they want to be shot heeds well why would you go to now out of the ignored in this report ok that's how i talk to an on said human rights council is selective and politicized let's not take a look at these investigations more closely so israel's internal investigation found the gaza raid was justified as sell defanged and now it's compare that to the

un how can two different investigations come up with such opposite conclusions. well israel's judicial inquiry has not concluded yet there was the i.d.f. inquiry so we'll have to wait what israel's position inquiry says but again the human rights council as kofi annan said is selective politicized and casts a shadow upon the reputation of the u.n. as a whole bunch the moon criticized the council for its excessive focus on israel which is seventy five percent of all resolutions are against israel only a handful in the rest of the world combined out of ten emergency sessions seven have been against israel so what happens when we get such a report that is biased they disregarded evidence that we submitted of the i.a.e.a. changes g. hottest intentions their violent actions on the ship the fact that the violence that happened they were looking for a confrontation all of that was disregarded in fact this is part of a pattern at the human rights council entirely consistent with their actions in recent years ok hill north things very much for you were inside their executive

director of the un watch and following the flotilla incident israel eased the gaza blockade but some restrictions are still in place to discuss the present humanitarian situation in their region we can now talk to god and i'll go house now from united nations relief and works agency. mr of the haass know how much has the humanitarian situation changed in the region after israel ease the blockade. i don't think that is being a great influence on the humanitarian situation or the circumstances of the people here because what is going on that is allowing more trucks to get into gaza but no one is asking the question of what these trucks have this is a big what is a big question we are talking about we need jobs in gaza not only we need just you know trucks that follow normal goods or or visit the bills or

something like that we need building materials to get into gaza because we have tens of thousands of homeless people in the gaza strip great projects for the u.n. system and the private sector has completely paralyzed and we have more than forty thousand factories have been destroyed during the war and because the percent of the population is still depending in you and humanitarian aid organizations it is an unbearable situation here in gaza it is not only a matter of you know getting things inside gaza that people meet might need or might not need there are there are some basics thing that israel has must think about them now the u.n. organization to both children thousands of children of the schools clinics so many things to get rid of the forty eight forty eight percent of employed people decide to go to st. well. mr.

can you tell us why i mean some people may say that united nations investigation is sort of like leaning towards israel why is that the case. look i think that the situation is very is very complicated what is that you and is aiming for we have to prevent such incidents that what happened with the flotilla actually in the future i think that's the only girl on t.v. that only girl and people prevent things like that is to completely not to is the floodgates to end the blockade on the on together terms i think otherwise you will find so many incidents like because the situation of guards are if you continue like that it will protect other people not to go and live differently on the truck if you know ships on all these things i think the un has their main goal to end the blockade in gaza and to send

a message to everybody that is valid. to everybody that the situation in gaza could continue like that you will find others are doing the same what happened with their flotilla and it is very dangerous for everybody not only for the palestinians because you know you know how can be guaranteed that extremism will be rising in the gaza in this type of situation it will continue like that with a whole city more than one hundred six million people living with no tomorrow actually with a very hopeless situation now israeli officials have repeatedly explained it as a blockade by trying to stop the aren't slow in gaza but why is impossible to focus narrowly an arms shipment without provoking humanitarian crisis. i think that with all of the respect for this show that are coming to god and it is something looks like a more moral things but what difference does in actually together the international

community want to thaw of the international order humanitarian crisis in the gulf and look look to allow the building materials to get into gaza allow people who have jobs for people to fight. very dangerous for them and that is rising inside the palestinian inside the. otherwise otherwise all of the methods here and there i think that will not be fruitful and on this point of view or in the future so with all due respect for. the system that is coming through to see. what has happened i think that the main point that we have to insist on that. was on the gaza border completely on the ok. from united nations relief and works agency thanks very much indeed for your views here on r t

. but as well as ruling party backed by president hugo chavez has won the country's general election but early results show it's missed out on the two thirds needed for outright majority now the opposition that's one more than one third of the seats could blog bills put forward by the ruling party the vote is being seen as a test of popularity of present in which charges are just you know how office has been following the poll in caracas. the sun rises to a contentious day here in caracas after months of intense campaigning and p.r. maneuvers from both sides penicillins from all over the country hit the polls to vote for the national assembly the obvious signs of election day paint the city. less traffic business is closed down to accommodate voters the military is on high alert and lines. around the polling stations the rumor started to flare on the eve of the election allegations that voting machines were out of order began to circulate on the opposition side. but here at

a station that is predominately pro opposition there were no complaints did you having trouble voting just now no no program no nothing no problems i'm very surprised what has been drilled into their heads is that the opposition will win close to fifty fifty. six. members. in the house you know that in the congress and maybe sixty seventy what the opposition claim all along is that media messages they hold a majority on the contrary throughout the best eleven years to a revolutionary process has won every election and these do is going to be a victory for us. towards the inner city however the crowds display more support for the government my point station you can hear people saying vote up to the left read the government's party this school is not only one of the most historic landmarks in the city it's also one of the largest voting districts and the

opinions here for the most part are somewhat fifty fifty but there are lots of expectations let's hope the results are what we expect for the sake of everyone at this polling station there were also no problems with voting some were even helping people with how and who to vote for to get on the streets of caracas it's almost impossible to avoid election time the best legal age the venezuelan people know this election in many ways is an illogical dispute one deeply rooted in the history of latin america and this is more than under the although tickle war it's a work of interests and power the power that the right has always had over latin america more than any of you logical war it's about the right of the people in the of latin america to make our own decisions to solve our problems according to a real need decisions that will eventually reflect after this election is finally over r t caracas venezuela. file sharers in russia are pushing to make internet piracy legal and destroy its negative image they have decided to follow

the example of their european comrades by setting up a political party and a spy being a new phenomenon in the country they already putting pressure on russia's music industry as a group is going up now reports. of has been in show business since deleted nine hundred eighty s. back then giving away demo tapes was the best way to gain fans after two decades his formula seems to be making a comeback. except now to spread the word publishers his music on the web for free so people pay to see him in concert. you see the album was already uploaded and downloaded a hundred times before i even published it i know there's no point in fighting it so i'm going to use it instead. according to some estimates piracy leads to over ten billion dollars in losses globally every year. anything can be found on the internet of many musicians are forced to hold more concerts while just

a few years ago they were merely the second source of income the. record companies are accusing pirates of stealing their money but there are those who want to draw a fat line between selling counterfeit c.d.'s or d.v.d.'s and sharing files on the internet. the noncommercial exchange of information being free. by the what i sort of is the leader of the pirates of russia party. the internet is everywhere i just need to click a button a couple of times and download a movie or some new album i want to listen to all distribution model is pointless an outdated. the party wants to see new laws in russia legalizing all nonprofit file sharing on the web formed in july in two thousand and nine it's also one of the founders of the pirates parties international a movement which unites so-called pirates from around fifty countries we need to really take a chance to get to take a stand and also tradition and taking back the freedoms that once belonged to us to

rephrase somebody's last name that is. taking that one hundred years for the pirates to unite some websites accused of facilitating illegal file sharing in the global anti copyright movement have millions of registered users and last year two members of sweden's choir its party even managed to get two seats in the european parliament. at least people are naive and lost with poor noise of economics and history a free economy cannot exist criticism supported by some deputies of the state duma who see by meeting the plans of russia party official its organizers could get more than they bargained for the establishment of the pirate party while a lot liberated this people from the criminal liability for awhile it into law the parents of russia are seeing the current laws are outdated and unfair and claim

that we will be back to buy most of the internet users in the country and that is around forty percent of the electorate piracy surely is a controversial subject but let's face it it's now grown into an international phenomenon not some official pirates even getting into european politics but before the pirates of russia can even dream of getting into the state duma they'll need at least forty five thousand members just to register and the question is even if they do have the right amount of supporters are they ready to come out and name themselves you've got this going off r g moscow. and time now off for a business update with kareena mccann and just a few moment. the somare region is economically and socially one of russia's better developed provinces the region has a significant scientific and industrial capacity doesn't realise its full potential
