to surprise germany as russia's largest trading partner last year. bombed and ceremony commensurate with the trade volumes meeting for the fifth time this year presidents of russia and china both stressed the strategic importance of their alliance. russia and china are committed to strategic partnership concerning all issues it helps our countries to adjust to a constantly changing geopolitical situation that we have good coordination concerning the international agenda and regional issues. only in the joints of diplomatic our russian hydrocarbons about four hundred thousand barrels of russian crude crosses the border each day when the pipeline the first between the two neighbors reaches its full capacity next year the amount will triple along with russia among other things diversified supply market overweight from western europe . have these alliances not without reservations over the recent years russia

scaled back its weapon sales to china due to concerns that beijing may copy the designs and later on to. other foreign military markets. for example to follow equipment and then produce those. by itself so of course it's also reduces the boredom of military trade between russia and china but there's also something that russia would like to borrow from china back in the fifty's the soviet union spared no means to industrialize its communist neighbor but now it seems the tables have turned the russian officials now are preoccupied when they hear from a different station very much like to copy china's economic miracle. in the recent decades china made a breakthrough in high technology and called duration and this field is mutually beneficial for those countries nowadays we both have some ideas and experience to share with each other. so we have

a great respect. two 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 the visit russian officials liking to cite in confucius china's coal or her among at by peaceful the worst again 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 recall many of the big brother russia is more than willing to learn. from a boycott art feat beijing china. steve international relations and the wall is concerned about is the energy supplies to europe winning the chinese market will not be an easy task. russia is concerned with the situation in europe where there are other situations this two

regions are quite different now the situation is in europe is quite subtle we are not witnessing any off gas or oil war this direction right now however with a chance. some controversial issues yes we did agree about all supplies we did agree about gas supplies but remember quite well china is also the r.c. find its suppliers not only russia is the r.c. find it supplies. we know that china is building a very good relations with central asian states with australia with. plans to supply gas to china as well but there are no agreement on the exact prices for at the moment. now jewish activists aboard a boat sailing towards the gaza blockade say they expect israel to intercept the

campaign and say their objective is to show not all jewish people support their government's policy towards the palestinians while the attempt to deliver humanitarian aid comes always to four months after an israeli raid on another fratello ended with nine activists of being killed the incident was condemned worldwide and labeled a brutal and disproportionate attack the jewish state still claims the incident was self-defense against the death the turkish charter group which led the for terror terrorists linked to hamas has promised a revestive hurts. 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 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 three years ago it's been banned in israel in germany

he states strongly linked with him much 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. and 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. in the early ninety's to help those new muslims the i h h or humanitarian relief foundation has offices in one hundred twenty countries wherever in the roads the people. we will go. troll or solidarity for these people and it's shown solidarity in pakistan ethiopia lebanon indonesia iraq china as well as with the palestinians we have hospitals schools we have old impress we are posters for the peoples. palestinian writer how the economy says israel is trying to create a keep it's a terrorist one in order to try and justify the deadly fratello greed in the media

that often most worldcom didn't know what israel had done in these really is. mounted a defense which was you know we quite clever but not based on any on any facts it's not the investigations to decide two key israel and the united nations each with the only inquiry all this year. a recent un report came to the conclusion that israel for a minute she broke and ten stone walls. un want to group the policy of the american jewish lobby the muleteers the activities of the united nations is executive director. please the ongoing investigation is nothing more than another or time on its rail 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 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 coffee and on said it is selective politicized and casts a shadow upon the reputation of the un as a whole. well the outcry over the facility did lead to an easing of the gaza blockade although some restrictions are still in place and. the united nations relief agency says easing the blockade made little difference to life in gaza. i

don't think that easing the blockade had a great influence on the humanitarian situation or the circumstances of the people here in the gaza strip we need jobs in gaza with the not only we mean just you know the trucks that fall over normal the gods 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 project for the u.n. system and the private sector just completely paralyzed and we have more than four thousand factories i have been destroyed during the war in the gaza strip eighty percent of the population is still depending in you and humanitarian aid organizations it is an unbearable situation here in gaza. well fall and russia are trying their luck in politics in an attempt to legalize the free copy of products it comes as no make it actually attempt to strengthen the existing laws

against piracy. is going to have the winners and losers in any crackdown on russia's pirate infested music industry. has been in show business since the late one nine hundred eighty s. back then giving away demo tapes was the best way to gain fans a few decades who seems to be making a comeback. except now to spread the word his music on the web for free so people p. 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 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 line between selling counterfeit c.d.'s or d.v.d.'s and sharing files on the internet. the noncommercial exchange of information. by the way is the leader of the pirates of russia party. the internet is everywhere i just need to take a button a couple of times in the movie or some new album i want to listen to all distribution model is mindless. 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 international a movement which unites so-called pirate. from around fifty countries we need to really take our chance again to take a stand and also tradition. taking back the freedom that once belonged to rephrase

somebody's last name is. taken one hundred years for. wired sort of dirt unite some websites accused of facilitating illegal file sharing in the global movement have millions of registered users and last year two members of sweden's squiers party even managed to get two seats in the european parliament. is this people and they found 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 making the planets a russia party official its organizers could get more than they bargained for the establishment of the pirate party while not liberated the people from the criminal liability for awhile it into law the plans of russia are seeing the current laws are outdated and on fear and claim that he 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 with 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. now that his way is running past president chavez has won the country's general election boss. missed out on two hundred four and. now only opposition to put forward by. position it is also. a major blow to the country's president elections are seen as a popularity test for chavez ahead of the twenty twelve presidential elections he

had helped as has been following a bad second like. the rumors start 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 problem no nothing no problem 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 towards the inner city however the crowds display more support for the government. what the opposition claim all along is the media message that they hold a majority on the contrary throughout the boat eleven years to the revolutionary process has won every election and these do is going to be

a victory for us. 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 split fifty fifty at this polling station there were also no problems with voting some were even helping people with how and who to vote for began on the streets of caracas it's almost impossible to avoid election time to get a gauge of the venezuelan people know this election in many ways is a. it is a logical dispute one deeply rooted in the history of latin america this is more than a new york though if you go war it's a world of interests and power the power that the right has always had over latin america more than any of your logical war it's about the right of the people in america to make our own decisions decisions that will eventually reflect after this election is finally over. r t caracas venezuela. so you can back

this seemingly on phase by the technical glitch which threatened their return the i.s.f. crew members have been talking about their experience in them lines where not surprisingly fixated on the things they missed most whilst in space. i love spicy food i make real hot chili sauce myself no i missed it badly i finished off all the spicy could jump stock on the ice this shocked everyone by making and eating with the sandwiches now is more fuel is good is a rock. the thing you miss the most to be. i missed smiles i missed trees i even dreamt of them i even hallucinated i thought i smelled a real fire and something being bbq donated i ended up putting bridges of trees on the walls to cheer myself up you do miss the earth there. and all the crews the first attempt to. shuttle from the space station failed because of

a technical malfunction as a result two russian cosmonauts and american astronauts return home was disposed of by a day where the populace took pics and three crew members landed safely after their six month mission circling the planet. and now a quick look at some of that eyes from around the world and u.s. marines along with the afghan national army were involved in a firefight against taliban rapporteur up in afghanistan the soldiers were forced to take cover as they came under attack from several directions in the town of marjah they responded with the bowels of rockets and machine gun fire it's have calls during nato largest miniature operation in the country so far dragon strike the operation is designed to drive flitters from the southern taliban heartland of kandahar. former serbian leader has appeared in court in the head to defend himself a the challenges of. the trial which has been running for almost

states is tackled in all cross-talk studio here's a quick preview. i just hate this rhetoric of this own you know these poor people and coming out of the shadows let me tell you they came out of the shadows didn't they they were marching down our streets in the millions everybody in the world saw that even in. oh come on give me an hour a have a way i mean i know he had ammunition i want to say one point there are children that they're having here while they're here he illegal as well as a huge i mean it is an issue as well you know show sheriff still going through this story you're not going to let me finish now see this is the compassion then those people want to talk about the feelings they want to feel they want to make everybody think that the long should have feelings and that we should think that well you know if someone committed murder let's feel bad for them because hey they came from a bad home that's only or less so when you're on the right machine there i've got was don't you more you're with your early during the united states by by harboring oh my goodness illegal aliens with your words and your rhetoric. and.

just a few moments we talk to american all the public speak until now has been a political observer doris nesbitt about the modernization of china seems.

thank you very much to you both for joining us now i'll start with you mr nesbitt now you first visited china about forty years ago and obviously a lot has changed now what is the post dramatic or surprising change that you've seen well in nineteen sixty seven when i first read there was a child who was very primitive really very poor. it's pretty discouraging in place the big change is the people now that people are so energetic . the so so excited about china what's happening with having their own lives and that is a huge huge for the people are obviously the people who are in politics or who are in government and who are in businesses and so on so every level whatever they're

doing is very very aware of more incitement more energy and of course physical. appearance in china just gone from that primitive third world look to the most modern country in the world. the country with the most modern cities in the world having said that now thirty years ago china was right one hundred thirty seven in terms of g.d.p. and today they are now in the second position so what do you think from your first outsider's perspective what are they doing right while they're doing a lot of things right obviously in the in bringing the economy up the constancy of the government of course allows a more long term thinking than you could have in a western democracy so there's a long term strategic thinking allow trial and error and as we see us china goes along and some things fail but most of the things that they tried out work and then

they apply it on a big a scale ok you seem to be very pasta. if about china coming from europe you're coming from europe you're coming from the u.s. do you think china is misrepresented in the world yes or no you know there are things in china that are not good at all and that absolutely need to be changed and will change over time especially with the new generation coming up that has a much lower tolerance on strict surratt sarita's but what needs to be done is to also report the gluts things about china the many things where china really has made enormous progress and that not only in economics but also it is on the way through change it's in its political structure in its social economic system i think i think the biggest problem with the reporting in the western press about china is that there is this mindset about communist china

and peoples they they always say in the west to present communist government to china. well recovery is going to china china is it what it used to be but there's this mindset about what it probably is and that shakes everything about china and it gives a very distorted picture this is a very modern society where there's a lot of participation of the people obviously the point is there's a there's a social and personal freedom in china that there's never been before in the history of china that freedom as allowed the people to contribute to the whole and to create. an ever greater and more prosperous society and speaking of prosperous they are indeed getting very prosperous these days and in fact the government the chinese government has been trying to cool the

economy because of. overheat. supposedly overheating do you think there is an overheating of the stock market and the property market and you think it's going to person possibly be another us incident well i think we're i think the whole world is a little too focused on the crisis of the cooling of the healing and. we're going to have a double dip or not it is a number of years i think this will be seen as an event rather than if you will over here this is an event this is a bump in the road this bumpy road is part of something called already very much in prague and that is the very slow. decline of the well and pretty fast rise of the use that same place those are you sure there were a large you mentioned china is a rich country that is correct but you know lately more and more what comes

up is the difference between china being a rich country and having a huge. population which is not rich which has not yet gained its share on rich and to give you a little example how why that is so the property rights private property is has not existed in china so when the urbanization of the country was beginning. private property and the profit belong to the community they were sold to developers that moment the value roast dramatic to fama us who were relocated did not gain that. did not get that again but on the the low price and then you know the property rose and rose so what is now going on and we are now investigating and researching that in a chinese province of sichuan in chengdu is to give the farm us the people

who know it all one owns. the land before the property the private property rights to sale that land too much but the price to have a shia off that creation and if you think that in china still fifty percent of the population are farm us then there is a lot of wealth that can be created to the people and that's a development that can contribute their a much to the sustainability of the economic progress of china. 1930's england and france tried to reason with hitler germany demands of the land and gets its way they also have been traded

a safety net for them some. thirty nine the whole of europe is in the gulf war efforts to establish a system of collective security in one nine hundred thirty trail and it's still on the. lessons to be learned from the munich agreement on our t.v. . news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. operations around the day. for the full story we've gone to. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers.

and. this is the flow of russian oil to china will triple that. it's all good for leaders of both countries as they met to officially call it from the mint is trying. to say for mccain to gaza with a humanitarian mission also useful to members of the aphids brutally attacked by israeli forces banking. on the side of russia or attempt to get off the shelf at a political halt its campaign legalized nation of free functionary. special reports which we had a thousand kilometers south from moscow. it's one of the most beautiful cities

famed for its architecture says and spectacular that's right next here. one of russia's most important southern cities an industrial and cultural center with more than one point three million people this is a twenty first century town that's proud of its history where you can find cutting edge technology and people that still follow traditions that date back centuries this is an agricultural jewel covered with rich fertile soil and blessed with a mild climate it's the second most productive region in the country but if you want to appreciate it properly you really need somebody to give you a list. never done this before labor the best way to see this. way. was consumers getting a pyramid view of a nearby farm although it can be a little hard.
