country's debt growing the economy at a quick clip eight years of lula brought to brazil the possibility of transforming us into an independent country as a large international force creating a social revolution where now a woman like matisyahu never dreamed of going to school can entertain the idea of being the next dilma. and pass it along to their children who may have only dreamed of being football players but now have prior aspirations to his or her and you want to be president of the money that although he didn't achieve it with a bloody fight but with a political agenda that has catapulted a nation forward how far it will take jill mo with fifty two percent of popular support looks pretty clear how far she can take the nation and a little of phenomenon will go in the world only time will tell lauren lyster r.t. so paulo brazil. the pigs may not be able to fly but they sure can run at least

week put the seal on a number of new energy deals the negotiations have been drawn out and at least where gas contracts are concerned of us still more to do but as medina cauchon of the reports there's now a greater sense of urgency. china is the fastest growing energy consumer in the world and in russia its neighbors the biggest energy provider it's a business mash this crying out to be made the deals have been a long time in the making finally this week in quest put on the dotted line what was a surprise is that we didn't see reciprocal deals from china you know it's quite clear to russia went down there looking to barter energy and materials exports to china in exchange for some commitment for investment into russia's new industries into infrastructure into technology etc and there was any mention of that whatsoever gazprom has agreed to supply thirty billion cubic meters of gas annually

to china over thirty years starting from twenty fifteen to make it all happen the gas giant also announced it would start building a new pipeline to china next year diversifying its customers is a significant ambition for russia it provides a hedge against a drop in demand from you rope in the event of an economic slowdown more kids have a way of going inside. and the reason that growth is so strong in asia right now is because they are buying. centralized economy party policies they are bad on that they decided to go market oriented but russia faces stiff competition to the east most so then in western europe as china also borders the nations of central asia which have considerable gas reserves moreover countries like to have got there first with agreements to build

a pipeline and fill it with fuel analysts suggest this has provided the final up to the russian side in their negotiations for fear of losing out all together in the question of business r.t. welshing markets have continued their upward trend for a second week in a row peter weston of the tongue things the dismissal of moscow's mess spiced up the performance of domestic a tease. we had first of all a very interesting we. guess culminating with the sacking of. added some flavor to some if you want russia specific factors that were in france in the market but in general it was a good week for the russian market but again it is very much moving along the lines of what's happening globally russia remains a hostage to what we see on data coming out of us and our europe method names continue to do well last week and on friday we also saw financials moving out but

that came on the back of some easing of concerns out of the south of europe as well as ireland so it was a mixed picture i would say of the sectors but in general the market was moving up in life more or less with the global markets plans to unite the somewhat fractured nature of russia's railway grid underway the operator hopes this will make rail a more competitive option for companies transporting goods from asia to europe and vice versa you know it's a myth that reports. there are plenty and pacific oceans connected by a railway going across. it's now almost a reality with a unified wide track from eastern russia reaching. the agreements have already made to extend the route to vienna that's creates over ten thousand kilometers. to the austrian capital in the heart of europe russia has the second. twenty percent. europe and asia and such as.

china and japan it will be unified rates as well as no time lost at the border controls. transport from asia to finland takes fifty days. could cover the distance in seven days. at the moment the rail cannot charge enough money to meet the profitable. are still too small. just cannot compete if we speak. to competition between rail and. in order to balance the cost of travelling in each

direction rates on the east need to be lowered. which is very. expensive. best about at least the courses yes so cargo transport in russia dropping fifteen percent to eleven point five million containers williams on the try and save beer in route fill an even sharper thirty percent the recovery of this year has been strong but much still needs to be done to make russian real we a true breach between east and west isn't a given due to a business r.t. . and that's all the best as you say now but you can always read well stories if
