share with each other so we have a great to spectate in the high tech. but do you thirds of the cabinet traveling with the president russian delegation in china proved among the largest in recent years and they all did their homework for the course of this visit russian officials took a particular liking to citing confucius china scholar her among other things at the by peaceful or against developing friendship with somebody who can a teacher any good well china is definitely not the case this country has made such a dramatic leap forward that you want to record many of the big brother russia is more than willing to learn from it from a boycott or beijing china. american author on china expert the tong says all unprecedented freedoms is allowing at the far eastern john to thrive we can watch the full interview with him on the political observer doris naismith next hour in here's a quick preview. there's social and personal freedom.

there is never been before in the history of china that their freedom has allowed the people to contribute to the whole and to create. an ever greater and more prosperous society so every level whatever they're doing more incitement more. of course physical. appearance of a child just gone to the most modern country in the world. josiah activists aboard a boat sailing towards the gaza blockade say they expect israel to intercept them a campaign to say their objective is to show not to support their government's policy towards the palestinians will be attempts to deliver humanitarian aid comes almost a full month fatah and israeli raid on another patella and with nothing activists

being killed the incident was condemned worldwide and labeled a brutal and this proportionate attack the jewish state still claimed the incident was self-defense and considers the tigers charity which led the flotilla terrorists linked to hamas asses corless near investigates. the pictures that catapulted a relatively little known in go on to the world stage in the world in which we live today where sympathizers or sympathize with are also being called terrorists it's no wonder that i. 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 he states strongly linked with hamas in gaza the last thing is my illness would call him soft as a terrorist he's a father of three and says he boarded a ship for gaza for his three daughters. in a gaza the children should have a right to live freely. so i joined that organization if another event of this kind

on any on any facts it's enough for the investigators to decide tricky israel and the united nations each with their own inquiry policy or r.t. . a recent un report came to the conclusion that israel's military broke international borders while r.t. tortie un wants a group that is part of the american jewish lobby but most of the activity is on the united nations its executive director he led nowhere believes the ongoing investigation is nothing more than another attack on israel. 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 robertson who was the un 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 qadhafi 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 the human rights council as kofi annan said it is selective politicized and casts a shadow upon the reputation of the un as a whole. well the outcry over the death did lead to an easing of the gaza blockade to bring some restrictions are still in place and. the united nations relief agency says easing the blockade made little difference to life in gaza are both think the . influence on the humanitarian situation or the circumstances of the people here because we need jobs that we not only we need just to ignore the trucks that fall over normal goods or. visit the grooves or something like that we

hello and welcome to the business bulletin russia's largest bank sped bank says it has billions of dollars to spend on much as an acquisitions the bank wants to become a bigger global player and is looking to expand in asia eastern europe and c.i.s. countries see graph says while spare bank has lots of money the problem is finding quality assets to invest in. acquired by the russian d.p.s. bank and this can be examining a takeover of ca's extensive e.t.a. . bad debts at russia's top have reached twenty percent of the loan portfolio the highest level since the beginning of the crisis the international finance corporation part of the world bank says russia needs to develop a market for bad debts so banks can clear them from that balance sheets timothy crouse from the i.f.c. spoke to business r.t. about its proposal to jumpstart the system with

a two hundred million dollar fund. i think that some of the banks here that are trying too hard to collect their loans are not paying attention to their core business and their market share will shrink and they'll be left holding paper that's not worth anything i think the thing is to create a market so to have a market you need buyers and you need sellers so we have plenty of buyers here capitols not the question i see provides financing we also try to match the buyers and the sellers right now we don't have enough sellers there are not enough banks that want to sell their corporate loans so there's loans to small businesses retail loans credit card loans things like this but they won't sell corporate loans yet there is too big of a gap between the price banks think that they should get thirty forty cents on the dollar but buyers that are coming into the market are not willing to pay that yet there is no track record yet we need a precedent we need a first sale to occur and then prices will go up after that when people see that

you can actually collect on bad loans in russia why hasn't a bad that's markets in russia emerged naturally off its own accord it's a little bit of a cycle psychological issue i think no one wants to admit that they've made bad loans it takes a while to get prepared for this and i think once banks think it through once they see that they're not making progress and restructuring corporate loans once they understand that they're not going to make much progress it makes sense for someone else to give it a try someone that specializes in this business liquidity has long to go up to being the bank's main problem do you really think that clean up balance so how banks lending i think it will because banks don't have to allocate capital to the bad loans that are sitting on their books if their management doesn't have to devote time to the bad assets that are sitting in their bank they can spend time doing what they do best which is to originate new loans there people can go out and figure out which corporate lenders are the ones that are most credit worthy which

can be their best clients allocate capital to that that's what they need to do. russia is ready to provide china with all the natural gas it needs deputy prime minister igor such and nancy incentives as the countries signed agreements on oil gas coal and nuclear energy russia may start delivering gas to china in two thousand and fifteen if the two countries can agree on all aspects of their corporation contracts with china which include gas pricing terms are expected to be signed by the middle of next year china wants to triple the use of gas to about ten percent of all energy consumption by twenty twenty to cut its reliance on coal and oil. and the russian markets finished low on monday echoing trends in global markets liquid dragged on the my sex it shares were down more than four percent at close banks also under full formed between you showed more than two percent on the my sex lives for about british one point three percent lower but ross telecom
