the first. pacific storm president made his visit to russia south korea islands provokes anger in japan claims the far eastern territory as its own process foreign minister says tokyo is reacts and is unacceptable. a new technology that could revolutionize nuclear power scientists across the globe are pushing countries to give it a talent for their ideas are seen by some as a waste of energy. was we report on how time goes fast growing. chrono me of

the army in the us here a lot to be a fact on it's own financial theater. is three pm in moscow and this is coming to you live with me and he said now a first stop president medvedev has visit to one of russia's distant territories the creel islands has sparked an outcry in japan tokyo which claims four of the islands as its own has described the trip as regrettable but russia's foreign ministers head back and said medvedev has every right to go there but it's simple because that only japan's reaction to president medvedev strip to the coral islands is unacceptable it is our land and the russian president was visiting a russian territory i'm sure we've already explained this to our japanese partners today we will summon japan's ambassador to russia to once again on the big was lee

reiterate this position we're not going to take any steps that would hinder relations was the japanese side should make its own conclusion. so she yes and. the remote archipelago lies in the pacific thousands of kilometers from moscow the islands have been controlled by russell since to pads capitulation in world war two and before that had changed hands several times well the reason is considered a strategic asset as it's believed that since south could hold massive oil reserves the area is also used by submarines as an entrance to the quote sea artie's axon a boycott has been following the thread is that. mitchell made a very air force of the first after a leader of either russia or the soviet union to visit those islands and one of the reasons why russian and solve it made us have been so reluctant to venture into that part of the country is because they didn't want to crave the attention of with the neighboring japan but we should be there sad if he felt it was extremely

important it was incumbent on him to do so to stress the strategic importance all of this region and also have sad that it is very important for russia to make sure that people living in the cruel islands don't feel abandoned that they don't feel neglected that they have acceptable living standards to keep plots to continue our kids in resources in order to develop their regions infrastructure here is exactly what she sat. in recent years we've managed to change the situation for the better new housing is being built social infrastructure being created it's good as it's improving living standards and gives hope that they could reach the same levels as the mainland within a reasonable time frame obviously it's a remote part of the country looks to the opportunities that people have there should be at a decent level we need more professionals to go to live there to provide housing good living conditions some incentives to stay with the japanese foreign minister already sad that this trip was highly regrettable and that it really hurt japanese

public sentiment on the other hand a russian officials are saying that they're still open for negotiations with that japanese colleagues over the regards to the southern israel island status but what they essentially a saying is that they're still ready to come back to the nine hundred fifty six agreement that the soviet union and japan came to and one of the points of that agreement was essentially on the part of russia agreeing to transfer to the on and she kept on and have been my back to japan but on the condition that the two countries first signed a peace treaty that. it's normally would announce to the second gold watch and japan has never agreed to that before russia giving away you'll do violence is already a very be compromised it's already a very big concession but when japan is just a starting point in negotiations last year out one if they bury interest in very respectable polling agency here in russia conducted in paul asking people nationwide what at what they've been involved the possibility of russia handing the

those dollars back to japan and ninety percent of the respondents sad that they are absolutely against it. listen to this territorial dispute a little further victor nina accountant's us editor of the russian analytical magazine slow thank you for being with us this of course has been a very long running having you but japan is still pushing hard on that is this really about the resources or is it more about national pride. i think it's both actually. because yes it is a very important strategic region for russia for national security and also for russia's yes. marine resources and mineral resources the way with air that we find on the islands so i think too for russia to assert assert itself after years of abaddon many years of abandoning actually so populous in the curial

islands years of bending its. decisive and determined foreign policy i think it is a very good gesture in the part of that mr medvedev and had no other choice given the the given commands a. persistent name not visiting the the islands i think there's a very into mr nick wise to pan pushing so hard for these ottomans. i think it's for me it's hard to second guess obviously all of japan's motives. but what i see is that you know after a string of very short lived governments cabinets in japan i think we've find here one that wants to. to play a strong hand in foreign policy given the dire economic straits in which japan finds itself along with the many other countries of the world but i think. just

that kind of assertiveness on the part of japan is untimely because on the eve of the visit and there are other more pressing issues i think for japan to to deal with hakim now is military presence so the end by the united states i think now sixty five years old is something that could be dealt with a lot more positively and successfully for for japan. you've mentioned the eve of the visit of course you're talking about president made native who is going to visit japan in two weeks' time how do you think the current diplomatic route will the fact those talks and who's going to be taking part in. well unfortunately if there's a rival i think unfortunately it's tokyo that started it because like i said a russian president needs no lecturing from from outside as to where and when he

travels inside of russia and in that regard i think. it was all of japan's making if you will that kind of mini crisis but i think after after. considering the situation i think both sides will see that there's nothing to to to worry about because japan's a very good neighbor of russia and it should stay that way so i'm i am i hearing correctly that you do think there is a way to find a compromise here. i think. yes we'll find a compromise. no compromise of the been discussed for for almost fifty odd years now so i think we're just need. to be in the negotiating process we have to go on with it and i also believe that. no obstacles. of the current nature should hinder us from for

a moment talking the problem over more and more right victor nick editor of the russian analytical magazine thank you very much for your input. now the foreign ministers of russia and germany have held talks in moscow to streamline their positions ahead of the russian nato council in lisbon it will be the first such meeting since the war in south of setting in two thousand and eight that prompted the cooling of relations between moscow and the alliance well r.t. katherina has been following the talks for us and now joins us live a huge number of issues of course were touched upon boil it down for us what are the ones likely to raise the biggest talking points. indeed any so the topics which the to discuss range from domestic issues to some global international issues like european security and afghanistan and the general feeling up to the meeting of the two foreign ministers was that the russian german relationship which started with

business and finance is now dovetailing into a strong political pawn diplomacy security these meeting is actually one of another trial actual meeting between the three continental powers russia germany and france which took part in derby recently and on the agenda of that meeting was the upcoming g twenty summit in sudanese the middle east peace bros says iran afghanistan and today the two corin ministers discussed some of the most difficult to jam the points of the meeting she twenty summit ensues the russian nato summit today and the release born of the always see me scene which is due to take place in astana inches of ston it seems that security is the central topic of all of these high level talks with russia we know is now pushing for a new joint european security architecture russia's stance is that security should not be divided and

a new disbands architectures needs to be built for basket protection on the continent against common threats russia is now seeking to develop the folds of code ration both with the european union security structure. as well as with the north atlantic alliance and as good a vest that of a vice chancellor said today times when russia was viewed as an anime within the nato countries is is it think of the cost this is what he said on this new turn in the nato russia relations since the end of the cold war. as you saw it is the image of the enemy shouldn't exist anymore and must be left in history we view russia as a strategic partner we've got mutual interests we of course have differences in opinion but we can talk about them and solve problems in terms of nato and it was always the goal of germany to bring russia into the project of mutual defense i have stressed that russia must work on the issue with us we are making good

progress towards. but nato and russia were again mentioned together in the news reports last week up to russia to barge in and open a show in a joint zero pray show with nato on the border between afghanistan and pakistan as a result of that special oak ration for drug club or a truce would destroy it and drops worth some two hundred million dollars were destroyed of course questions were raised is russia coming back returning to afghanistan a two decades up to its defeated in that we gen and beyond sir sergei lavrov boys today the official position of russia is not that it's not the case to take part in special operations like the one which happened last week is one thing but to be present in afghanistan with military personnel we troops is quite another and this is not the case with russia. with almost too little people so if there are strict

relations that russia will return to afghanistan those visions are probably still it's totally out of the question russian troops will never return to afghanistan this is our firm traditions that will not be treated as they go through the age will work that are stored in. full force some other told me it's like these are three which team were discussed to buy the two today this is just a part of the least of questions on the chance of a discussed on the set of course i assume economic links were also mentioned between the two tell us more about that. all right it seems that now particularly is the right moment for russia to look at germany as the country which it could learn from not just in terms of how to revive the konami after the global recession which started in two thousand and eight but how to build a new economy officially these today's meeting will stop the partnership for modernization and germany's now the new traditional rising. in the european union

it is now dealing with the issues as the country we ship carries the most weight in the european union it deals with the so-called q row issue which includes everything currency immigration and direction of european union in general and germany has been dealing very aggressively with all of these issues dealing with open debate the most heated one has been around the so-called a multi cultural society issue or immigration issue for the first time the german chancellor voiced it that russia that german multiculturalism has utterly failed so it seems that changes in the air and it also applies to german foreign policy and the leading the european union in these endeavors and modernization on the continent is a part of it and this is a cause music to russia's years because modernization means that we know presently that it's calling cardinal wright gets a new grandchild

a reporting live from moscow. an obscure metal that could energize our world it's called florio it's eco friendly and there's lots of it many scientists say it could even replace your rainy m as a nuclear power source but despite its potential the mantle is yet to gain a foothold in the market is more and that explains why. we all use energy but at what cost. energy security why many morton wars are thought the oil's running out and there doesn't seem to be a viable alternative insights but unbeknown to most there's an energy source that says clean green and abundant all over the globe story i'm zain nuclear fuel and its supporters believe it will change the world conflicts that we've seen today based around energy could go away and that these energy sources that i'm talking

about which don't emit carbon dioxide or or greenhouse gases and don't produce dangerous ways could enable us to have cleaner water cleaner air and less intrusion on our environment from energy production a ton of the silvery metal produces as much energy as two hundred tons of uranium or three and a half million tons of coal. the amount of thorin that it would take who vied all the power to run your entire life. is about the size of a marble that big a group working on story in the u.k. says it hasn't managed to get the british government on board so far so it's looking to cooperate with countries like russia for several years now a russian physicist has been proposing to build saurian power stations but i wanted his ideas haven't been taken up there's a lot of focus on renewables at the moment so maybe that's where they feel that

there's more public support rather than. but truly understood the potential of. then they would realize that it's a good investment research on thore and was largely halted in the middle of the last century after a year rainy unpowered reactor was designed. many believe also fell out of the spotlight because making a bomb out of it is thought to be almost impossible but today not all scientists are thore i'm calm but it's all in reactors don't really work every challenge and it's a whole new technology which has very insurmountable problems in my opinion they would have problems in developing the process in which you split the fuel from the waste from the reactor they would have difficulties in actually storing the fuel.

in two thousand and seven cities from london to sydney have held our turning the lights off to save energy proponents say the worry of power became a reality we could turn the lights back on with confidence. through. the rooms a divisive thing some say it's a technology that's being tried tested and found lacking others say that because the light water reactor got there first the room was never given a proper chance but while it's cheap abundant and even a possibility the scientists here at the annual florian conference say give it a go it might even change the world were a bit. china's emergence as a major economic superpower has raised concern among policymakers in washington they fear beijing's rise quick result in the u.s. fall but the trade wars between the two have some experts saying that america is

out to bankrupt an economy lister has the story. it's on our genes even children story made in china three common words quickly becoming bad words as part of smear campaigns made in the usa to be voted to give china's special trade status the chinese are being set up to be the next bogeyman and the only thing that's interfering with that is that the muslims are in effect of bogeyman for right now but that hasn't stopped china and its alleged us supporters from being the bad guys does your recalls help foreign companies create chinese jobs to make it with as seen in countless political campaign ads ahead of the two thousand and ten midterm elections with china in the u.s. china's ascent in the world is becoming the popular perceived threat from washington maybe you ought to run for senate trying to holywood going to get it over to where they're remaking the eighty's flick red dawn. but this time around

instead of soviet troops invading the west you guessed it it's the chinese it seems for longer the us economy stagnates barely growing at all oh. and the more china celebrates the ten percent plus rise and its economic growth the more we see china vilified it's very important to see more progress by the major emerging economies with policymakers accusing the country of manipulating its currency to boost exports at the expense of the u.s. recovery and demanding they do something to change that every just look at the issue from that perspective you may think china is to blame here but if you want and china have a very dynamic interconnected relationship and when you look at what the us is doing because a lot less clear who is the bad guy but it's two to tango there are two sides to that core and the only way to get out of this imbalance is to coordinate

a process that is mutually beneficial both. an invalid. that has china the largest creditor nation on the globe. funding the us the largest debtor nation in the history of the world asking for the dollar to go down twenty percent against the chinese currency it's the you on essentially ass china who holds two point six trillion us dollars in its reserves to just lose a half trillion dollars china doesn't want that and economists say this is anything but mutually beneficial the us has no we want to screw you we want to bankrupt you like we grip to trip him we want to disable you because if we can destroy your canonically then you can never become a military threat and outside of this paranoid psychosis but it doesn't stop the us from parading its military might around china's borders china is also held drills in recent months and both sides are duking it out in what's been dubbed a currency war i happen to think china should open its currency up and be freely

convertible on the other hand the united states is running up the gigantic debts and printing money oh everybody's making mistakes here and that's where economists say a larger war is impending looks like we have a trade war developing a losing battle for both sides nobody in history has won a trade war but that may not stop anyone from putting up a fight and recent us history as seen here here and here doesn't seem to even be allowing a fair one lorin mr r.t. new york. let's take a look now at some other stories from around the world in brief for you this hour at fifty two killed in a police operation to release hostages from a catholic church in baghdad militants took over the church after attacking the country's stock exchange where the two guards were reportedly demanding al qaeda members. afghan officials say the taliban overran an
