deposits and it's believed to have vast oil and gas reserves are on a boy reports. it's a leftover from the second world war old soviet tanks rusting on the shore but there barrels pointed towards your pan because the ship island together with three other pacific islands was thinking over it by the soviet union sixty five years ago but the tussle to define its national identity still goes on. this cross appeared here a few years ago soon after the russian orthodox church opened its parish on the island of she katon to decades of seeing its population the window the island is now in the midst of a baby it will. have the highest birth rates in the interests of region we have a lot of young people lots of servicemen. their living standards are quite decent nowadays there are many kids here and parents bring them to be baptized it's

wonderful to have children on the island building the church is part of the russian government's effort to raise the living standards of the korean island beach here means reinforcing national identity. all but the band and in the nine hundred ninety s. the audience saw a large influx of japanese charities and officials trying to persuade the locals that they might be much better off if the audience were on their japanese administration because you know if we get the owners bark we won't move the russians who live there we know how painful it is then you look for them citizenship. but this is precisely why the president is here to tell the locals that russia has not forgotten about them and while the regional authorities try to paint a prey to picture the role would send a crumbling infrastructure betrayed the arlen's chronic financial problems. it's an important part of our land we would definitely invest money into the region reach

in buyer and mineral resources the islands have been a bone of contention for over two centuries russia held them briefly in the nineteenth century before losing a war to japan took his defeat in the second world war allowed moscow to regain control of the territories which prevented the two sides from signing a formal peace treaty the president's visit was in the midst on the japanese side tokyo said the trip was regrettable and her japanese public sentiment. japan's reaction to president medvedev stripped of the cool islands is unacceptable it is our land and the russian president was visiting a russian territory we've already explained this to our japanese partners. under international law the grill island unequivocally belongs to russia but due to geographic and economic reasons its residents of palm of frequent guests to japan than to the mainland. and while russia may be in their heart japan is still vying

for their minds and it could you mortar is teaching japanese at a she could turn school his soaries played by the japanese government. class is a very popular when it comes to the school the children are already waiting for me demand those people who i see there are many people who came here last year i'm happy here sometimes it seems to me there was my family again and here class seventh graders study alongside their parents who hope to get a job in japan life at the career law lands may have a brew have been recent years but not quite so sure to stop buying the horizon retributive it or first force these intention to visit to stop in korea was about a month ago but it got time bad weather prevented him from flying me and now it looks like the wind and the rain are going to delay see him flying out of but that's a trifle compared to the fact that he has just become the first ever russian leader to set foot here celebrate our theory because the sheer island. but political

analysts you can of says there is no slide of a diplomatic solution to the dispute in your future. there should be a strong political will on the ball so when the japanese call them until the japanese government claims that the islands are ours period. they do not leave any space for diplomacy i don't think we are there as much economics for their lives that is not as critically important for japan which is quite self-sufficient it is a political symbol there are a few political symbols and japanese policy is japan has quarrels with every single neighbor every job was just politician but most of the public in japan i think there are there's bears in russia of course people just do not understand why japan the country which was allied to hitler we fought against our allies like the united states the united kingdom china should be rewarded by giving them the islands which

were taken away after world war two here with r t why coming up later in the program for you and i know. the dark art. that's coming up in moments. how. beautiful our technology is rough save in a hundred company. that's coming up in our business. a deadly season baghdad by a group of militants on sunday ended with fifty eight you're dead and scores more wounded men in suicide vests and armed grenades took an entire congregation hostage one of the city's largest christian churches a standoff ended when iraqi troops stormed the building and the firefight that will soon left the government some security forces and many of the hostages debt well jim brann member of the antiwar group stop the war coalition told r.t.

about the security situation the country faces after the withdrawal of american combat troops. i think the clear intention of the united states to leave iraq seems to me a indispensable precondition for iraq to. rebuild itself. united states forces are a powerful factor in iraq to politics and they are a kind of. central determining factor he go back to two thousand and three the first head of the occupation administration in iraq he was only in there for a month general garner and he said look back to the philippines at the beginning of the twentieth century said our forces were in the philippines for one hundred years . as a as what he called the coaling station he said our forces will be in iraq. will be our calling station in the middle east for years to come so he set that even in two

thousand and three you really have to question for example with the united states wants stability in iraq which excludes itself and i think the answer is that it doesn't. moscow does not feel that nato treats it as an enemy russia's foreign minister has said during talks with his german counterpart the ministers streamlined their positions ahead of russian nato council in lisbon and also discuss this armament plans let's get more now from our team to come back show what kinds of live hi there you katherina what were the main talking points of the news conference. and the main topics of the central told before the talks between the two ministers was global security and russia now is pushing for a new joint european security architecture and defense that's a defense as a part of it to be better protected against common global threats of course russia is keeping a close eye on the u.s. plans and nato plans about deploying elements of missile defense system on the

european continent officially in september this year nato invited russia to participate in this missile defense system today sergei lavrov said certain words is being done with its nato partners in particular they're preparing a joint assessment of threats and challenges of the twenty first century and he hopes that the document will be ready by the time this russian nato summit takes place in leesburg and but the full russia can come up with any answer to that proposal of ropes it would like to know how nato partners sees russia see russians participation in that project and most importantly to come to a common understanding on where those threats originate now and storing the questions on whether russia and nato nowadays treat each other as enemies both mr lavrov and his german counterpart said this was not the case and today russia and

nato bought not cold war anime's but rather modern day allies. these orders these make 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 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're making good progress towards. your dream of course so many issues were passed upon was there anything said about russia's recent participation in a joint and drug operation in afghanistan. russia nato will mentioned together in news reports shortly after the open ration was successfully care adult on the border between afghanistan and pakistan a special oprah ation as

a result of bleach some several tons of drugs were destroyed worth over two hundred million dollars and for drug producing laborde trace russia mostly helped nato its nato partners by providing them with intelligence data to carry out that open ration but anyway questions were raised whether russia was going to be back in afghanistan with its troops to that sergei lavrov said. son to clear and loud message today russia is not going to take part in the war in afghanistan. you almost almost will see if there are speculations that russia will return to afghanistan and this is a probably cations it's totally out of the question russian troops will never return to afghanistan this is our firm position that will not be changed. look through which to look to surely today's ministerial meeting was stopped partnership and modernization so apart from globally shoes like european security and the war

in afghanistan of the two partners discussed a stimulus packages for the economies modernizing the economy is said trade between the two and and the koch ration in an issue which is important and crucial for the economies of both countries. has to get out cho reporting live from moscow. well do check out our website for a lot more stories of blogs and videos online for you right now at our car bomb making for american students now all the government more than credit cards and no jobs around loans no way to pay. mom counter-point in the bathtub am involved in a night of profound fun or goblin vampire we. are free. but the idea of an eco friendly nuclear energy may have one seemed impossible but now scientists believe they found the fuel of the future story on is more abundant than

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 converts in reactors don't really work for 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 since why would you split the fuel from the waste from the reactor who would have difficulties in actually store in fuel. since two thousand and seven cities from london to sydney have held our turning the lights off to save energy proponents say if the worry of power became a reality we could turn the lights back on with confidence. as for.

the room's 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 story in conference say give it a go it might even change the world you are at it. but coming up to seventeen minutes past the hour of us take a look at some international news in brief for you. that's become brazil's first ever female president she defeated her main rival with fifty six percent of the votes during the election the second round like actually move with the silver who nominated her she promises to tackle poverty and for gender equality as her number one priority is expected to be sworn in as head of state on new year's day.

in vietnam severe flooding caused by heavy rains and strong winds has left at least six people dead and one missing one hundred thousand people have been forced to flee their homes the weather has paralyzed traffic and destroyed houses while more heavy rain is expected in the next few days. of ok no in indonesia has erupted for the third time in a week prompting panic among thousands living beneath that mount merapi is one of the world's most active volcanoes and at least thirty eight people have been killed since it started spewing lava rescue workers have set up additional shelters for people who are going to. the two pit bull terriers have left a woman main gold after disfigured after jumping over their yard fence igniting the debate over russia's lax dog ownership laws the complex issue is difficult to solve with some pointing the finger at dog breeds and others blaming bad owners our genes do sports reports. this eighty five year old woman was almost killed by two pit

bulls and here on the yard she was screaming for help and when a neighbor heard her cries she called the police when the officers the roy of the region animals turned on them. one of the officers blew his whistle the dollar dropped the victim and the tag the policeman badly injuring his arm the officers had no other option but to should both animals dead by the time the woman was unconscious she was immediately taken to a nearby hospital where the patient was in shock upon arrival we had to perform an emergency operation to amputate her arms the owners of the balls kept them for breeding but it seems they didn't keep them secure enough since on the free fall day they managed to escape jumping over a fence and tearing through the neighborhood so that the bill unfortunately it's not the first time when dangerous animals are causing severe and sometimes deadly injuries and i think that one of the reasons is that there's a gap in legislation when it comes to dog ownership and punishment for those whose

animals attack people large dogs should be considered dangerous just like um guns. the owners of the balls in question have been charged with negligence resulting in but really harm and could face that too in that have thousand dollar fine or a six month jail sentence but courts rarely impose prison sentences for such crimes however the case has once again sparked heated debate on whether breed specific legislation should be introduced in russia currently twelve countries have banned or special conditions for pit bull and american stuff which are terrier ownership restrictions are not an option say the members of the dog owners club in the city of sochi let's speak to the enemy trainer and greet the seventy year old staffordshire terrier. and that there should be no breed specific discrimination considering one do good and another one evil is just plain wrong always take into consideration certain traits that also. should be considered by the dog's owner

when choosing the dog but it doesn't mean that some dogs should be labeled more dangerous and therefore requires some kind of special super training. with the last movie dog owners legs with insist that in most cases it's not the animals but their owners who are to blame the average basic training course work but bull terriers less two to three months and could cost up to six hundred dollars something that in the cross in our case though seems the bargain considering the price paid by the elderly woman who remains a coma would doctors pointing for her live did as well or ski party across the region. ten minutes from now r.t. investigates the cost in blood of cell phones and laptops before that let's check in though at the business desk. hello that's right time to get the latest from the world of business hundreds of
