how do how can israel which is a growing political power an emerging power in the western hemisphere and of course that is the fact that do not believe the united states in particular the reverend because there are rapidly losing influence in that region while but israel is gaining that their influence stole the two presidents so when the leaders of the two countries are meeting of course the world is going to be paying close attention so what will they be discussing well it seems there's plenty for them to talk about you have to remember that there is an operation in the oil and gas sector with the bilateral venture is set up just earlier this year is also a couple ration in the nuclear field with russia building at first nuclear plants in with israel and there's also every so venezuelan bank which is being established in two thousand and eight to during the economic crisis while the world was mulling over what to do russian with israel went ahead and decided to solve the problem in their own specific way and of course there's also russia's aid to venezuela in the . in the social sector with russia building an entire infrastructure for the poor

families will go chavez has conducted several of us social reforms which have given more power to the poor part of it with poor segments of the population so they don't only get to vote the actually get a chance to make a difference in their own community and in the political life of the country and here is a report by the details of these reforms. welcome to democracy one o one venice well a style there is a people's revolution underway here what is indisputable is that it never would have happened without this man coming to power the figure larger than life at times as president. the idea that social reforms prioritize the country's majority poor activated participatory democracy in this country. a system which invites the poor not just to vote but to get involved in the political process itself. supporters of

this process or the presidents are known simply and perhaps more vaguely as. in the wealthy neighborhoods it's called communism but in the slums it has a very different meaning in las vegas as a community leader isn't president chavez it's freddie mendoza here during more than thirty five years we've been fighting achieving improvements to our condition of living he is the guidance for the community decisions these are the policy makers of those decisions they are school teachers and bank tellers and the unemployed regardless of who you are or what you do for a living everyone has an equal say in how this part of the body oh is governed it doesn't matter if it's in the middle of the night or raining whatever time it is the communal council is present and available for all of the neighbors of the negative for cultural activities for a sickness for whatever is needed far away from the businesses the malls and the fancy hotels in the inner city are the slums of caracas the concept here come from the bill a variant revolution it was introduced to them by president bush the idea of

participatory democracy happens here r t. we have plenty more stories coming your way this hour including business when. you partially admits his guilt in a court case that's taken years to resolve. also a good life in bad times in the midst of unemployment poverty and recession in the u.s. one group seems to be doing pretty well we'll be bringing you the details of pay day on wall street. also the close up to him travels to one of the country's oldest cities considered to be the birthplace of russia's democracy. but first it's difficult to make a turn to the top in u.s. politics especially if you're a woman and it seems some female politicians are making headlines not for their strong credentials but for their motor fear campaigns critics say

a pretty face in the republican party p.r. machine is all it takes to get them noticed as they can now reports that's especially true of one rising star who has been raising some eyebrows. it to christine o'donnell a republican nominee for senate just weeks to become a household name in america among her credentials she campaigned against masturbation you're going to be pleasing each other and if he already knows what pleases a man he can please himself then why am i in the picture she even preached abstinence the sad reality to tell going to slag off. my x. yeah yeah i'm a young woman in my thirties and i remain chaste right and there was a time that chased woman even said she would try the dark arts i was telling him which some would argue she blurted it out ages ago and it's no longer valid so where is she standing now when running for a seat previously held by vice president joe biden i'm not aware. i'm nothing

you've heard i'm you but i'm going to many say christine uses the same tools as her fellow mama grizzly sarah pailin the most effective of which is stalking fears and experiences here angie is going to grow p.r. experts say experience has little to do with becoming a media darling in america all you have to know is how to push the right buttons the people make their decisions not on principles but. on emotions and when you know how to manipulate emotions you can get even the worst candidates the most preposterous candidates we must seem to be especially good at fears and steering emotions in this election season meet sharon angle a woman who came from nowhere to become a republican front runner for senate among her wishes to take the united states out

of the un phase out social security and shut down the tax service although few believe that these candidates will gain actual political power but what is. we're going to see a lot more. effective use of a congress that is not able to do what it needs to get done some blame the media for giving so much coverage to candidates whose qualification is questionable the american media is so screwed up on matters of substance and so ready to do the flashy the superficial they love the quick quote from the pretty face even if the pretty faces don't get political power they are popular enough to raise issues and affect politics now is the time when many americans are disappointed at washington for not delivering on parma says women are generally good at expressing their disappointment they're even more successful when they do it in a nice red suit with snappy quotes and a big smile on their face for now these women with their lack of qualifications

seem to be a laughing matter in the political arena but there is the big question who will cast the last laugh come november. second r.t. washington d.c. . the former c.e.o. of the oil company coast has made it illegal dealings with stocks in a court hearing this thursday he and his partner accused of stealing three hundred fifty million tons of oil a second set of charges against them but prosecutors say they are not going to press for maximum prison terms while our country knows our advice is following the hearings and now joins us live by their cards what exactly has come out of today's hearings. all according to the general the prosecutors that were in the courthouse today and we know that they believe me. almost practically admitted his guilt in the theft of three hundred and fifty tons of the oil during his time as c.e.o.

of the former oil giant you because the prosecutor said that despite the fact that that did not flat out like maybe he's guilty did say that the company that made the decision that concerned. civically those amounts of oil those decisions were all overseen and the final go ahead on those decisions was made by ucas the main company and of course he as c.e.o. therefore cording to the prosecutors bears full responsibility for any decisions made by yukos itself or its sister companies jury of this time so they believe that they have all the evidence necessary to prove the guilt of the file so that both steve and his colleague look the despite the fact that they have not yet received a flat out confession to this fact they have said that they will ask for a cup hunnish meant for those blood because of certain presidential laws that and the certain amendments that have been made by the russian president dmitry medvedev they will not be receiving a maximum prison sentence their prison sentence will actually be somewhat reduced

because of the presidential decree signed a little earlier. and this case of course has been dragging on for years now what makes it felt complies take us back a bit. will the case of course is a very well followed one specifically of course in the west where many people have used the case in the trial of musicals so that to claim political bias and prejudice against the former c.e.o. the case has been gone into going on for years we hope that he was arrested on charges of money laundering tax evasion and various flaws economic times he was found guilty and imprisoned serving an eight year prison term later in the his in his conviction in his jail time prosecutors filed new charges against the man and those hearings have also been continuing for a while but the russian president dmitry medvedev signed a new amendment to the existing criminal code saying those found guilty of economic

crimes should the maximum prison term for those economic crimes should be reduced from fifteen years to ten years so those are many. of course applied to because of that bill and his colleagues believe it if we also know that one of the men who was involved in the yukos case the so-called yukos case as it has become known in the press and worldwide. mr alex on young was released from prison earlier this year due to his complicated health conditions he's suffering from aids and his condition his health condition was rapidly deteriorating prosecutors ruled that the man needs to be released and the bail that was previously set for him for it exists or been an amount of money a very large amount of money that was also revoked and he was released many of course viewing this as a potential change in the current climate hoping that maybe that he will of course

be released but the prosecutors say that everything that has been concerning this case has been done by the book by the law and of course any further crimes that they do believe mr for that mr libby to be guilty of will be brought to court with evidence and if enough evidence is gathered as they have believed to be the case with this current progress with this current development in the case of that all right card here we will continue to keep our eye on these hearings for now today miles honorable live from moscow. the russians clinched the deal to host the legendary formula one grand prix for the first time the motor racing event will take place in sochi the city of course that's hosting the twenty fourteen winter olympics they have one drivers will compete on a challenging circuit and use the brand new infrastructure built for the games and has more details. it might not only be the skis skates and sledges that will get to the headlines in two thousand and fourteen in addition the city is accelerating

towards the smoking tires of brokering race cars it will take two hundred million dollars to get the track up and running and cost the city about forty million a year for the rights to race russia has long been eager to be among the world championship and since the beginning of the decade moscow and st petersburg have been trying to secure pole position but recession through a few obstacles in the way now with the green wide for this project in sochi it's not only formula one that will attract thousands of fans organizers say the infrastructure and track could be used to host other motor sport events so russian sports officials will have a reason of their own for some pain shower. well any irvine a formula for and a former rather affluent driver told r.t. that formula one and russia need each other. to be honest russia's it's been trying for a long time to have a formula one race and it's well over june you know russia is a great country

a great economy and formula one really needs to be in russia as much as russia needs a probable why it's not a solution i really don't know so obviously you know money nor is the key factor in why things happen and why they don't happen so i'm sure it's it is in this case whenever i go to races there in monaco i'm pleased you got the news a lot of there's so there's maybe a little bit on the ground in russia at the minute because there's no race but you've got a driver there now and petra. you know. only if you can raise a game a little bit more and become a permanent fixture for one then you've got a driver there you're going to have a race there there's no reason why from one company huge in russia. where prime ministers press secretary to me to prescott thinks the project will be good for the entire country not just the city of such a. we do appreciate the interest of the relevant companies to sponsor the project

we do appreciate the proactive. approach of regional authorities of crust and our region i have no doubt that the project will be not important only for for this region but for the whole country in terms of image lots and lots of people will be coming here to such and they will be seeing how beautiful this city is they will be seeing how the hospital people of sorts here are a certain a way of it will only bring benefits and not only in terms of image but people will be spending money here and wealth small and midsize business will be paying more taxes so it will bring economic lives so i think it's really a very interesting and useful project. now aloon of americans are unemployed and the national debt is soaring it seems top financial executives are far from feeling the pinch in fact a recent wall street journal journal survey estimates they'll receive a staggering one hundred forty four billion dollars in compensation and benefits this year this amount is equal to the u.s. stimulus package approved by congress in two thousand and eight trying forecaster

gerald celente says americans are failing to react to the payouts because the financer is fanbase in the mainstream media is distracting from public opinion. you have a complete disconnect here going on between these white shoe boys with their one hundred forty four billion dollars and the rest of the country and that's why the people are with their kind of numb about this take for instance is guy steve schwarzman the c.e.o. of blackstone like worth about six billion dollars he complained that because of changes in tax rules he would have to pay more money quote he said it was the equivalent of the nazis invading. the media let him get away with it they should have been stringing him up they should be ripping them apart to the equivalent of

a holocaust denier but because he's a senior member of the white shoe club boys they make it really easy. bonce there from trying forecaster gerald celente let's take a look now at some other stories from around the world this hour in brief for you riot police in athens have crossed with protesters barricading the city's acropolis officers used tear gas to clear the demonstrators from the entrance to greece's most famous site over one hundred cultural ministry workers had turned out to demand unpaid wages dating back to heres the police arrived after a court order said the protesters were blocking access to ancient sites and temples . basin wide celebrations have erupted in cheney as the last of thirty three trapped miners was pulled to the surface they spent a record sixty nine days buried underground after a rock fall the man's physical condition is much better than anticipated but they'll still have to undergo medical tast the rescue operation went faster than

expected with officials initially predicting it would take at least four months. time now to show you more of what the world's largest country has to offer as we look take a look at russia close up. today we travel to a very key novgorod which is about five hundred kilometers northwest of last cow founded over a thousand years ago it's one of the country's oldest cities it's also the cradle of russian democracy and now takes a closer look. each year they gather in the small city of novgorod to celebrate the past a time when novgorod was the capital of a trading empire that spanned from finland today edge of siberia mr at the risk of logic you know we are the army of the ruler of novgorod from the height of its

prosperity you know many people are forgotten but we are keeping the memory alive it was. russia's all the slavic city of god was founded more than a thousand years ago centuries before st petersburg it became russia's gateway to the west non-god filled the whole of europe with candle wax becoming one of the most prosperous cities on the continent once upon a time this was not just the hope of a powerful trading republic but possibly the birthplace of russia's democracy. at the sound of a bell the city population assembled on the main square there they voted on the most important issues facing the republic a new ruler was elected after an old one died each part of the city had its own self government and military commanders were invited from neighboring states and at the park version to push the road offers a glimpse of what a different russia might have been like instead of tearing is simply they could

have been freedom and democracy but it was not to be moscow princes keen to get their hands on its riches subjugated the city and even carter the way there's somebody bell. in fifteen seventeen number became the setting for one of the bloodiest chapters in russia's history we were. when ivan the terrible came for a visit a feast was laid out for him then just as the guests were getting drunk he suddenly got up and banged his staff on the floor that was a signal for his henchmen around up the citizens of no going to begin torturing them for two weeks a thousand people were killed every day the legend says a river is reddish in color because of all the blood that spilled into it moscow needed number of political power st petersburg its economic significance and later the soviets desecrated its religious symbols for building of interest. that is the biggest tragedy before world war two the soviet authorities melted down most of the

enormous bells whose unique peel charm across the city from saints a fierce cathedral oldest church chorus still haunts for just love passionately that it might one day return. we have all the blueprints if only we had the money we could rebuild them exactly as they were my only dream in life is so here's and so here's bells ringing out over the city again. like the whole city has to be happy with what he's got and live with hopes of a rebirth of glories. there see no girl. coming up next year in our latest business news with kareena stay with us. how i welcome to business good to have you with us russia central bank says it will allow for a more volatile ruble after a widening of the trading ban against the us dollar the euro it broadened the range

by fifty copecks in each direction it gives the ruble more room to maneuver before the central bank intervenes the central bank's deputy head says the trading battle is needed as there is no inflation targeting he said the move will reduce the risk of speculative inflows of hot money. however analysts say the ruble is responding to trade flows and central banks action could have little impact in the face of these fundamentals and the situation is also stay in the bubble in the long run and despite any technical to see them is despite the existence or even nation of the narrow wide chorus of brain but central bank will have to react to fundamentals but not the current situation of the market. as finance minister says the central bank's decision to widen their will currency basket does not represent quote playing into the council wars the finance minister was speaking at a russian e.u. plenary session on macroeconomic policy.

flexible exchange rate is not currency wars or a devaluation rush it means. of the central bank so when banks are not intervening that means an objective and flexible exchange rate the currency was rather happened with individual countries and their central banks interventions on the market leading to an artificial change in the exchange rate of the national currencies but i think in the case of the introduction of a wider broader band by the central bank of russia this is quite the opposite this is less influence on the exchange rate. russia could face a federal budget deficit of four point five percent of g.d.p. . but minister. central bank has an even more optimistic forecast for this year expecting deficit to be three and a half we have percent of the fight as ministry says it will be not less than five

percent official. five point three percent. for the markets now here in moscow markets are mixed this hour the r.t.s. is still gaining. back the lines excess slipped into the red zone in trading session energy majors the main drag. by ross their. last european starts again on thursday related shares are leading the way before he had given up early again to turn negative banking stocks dragging on in this. metals prices rio tinto shares climbed to a two year high after the firm reported a strong performance in the third quarter with an orthodox. it all exporters cartel opec will hold. steady after meeting on thursday or ministers said that they were not worried that a weak dollar would drive up the oil price too high for me to bet. and
