we're sorry this is just a parliament building in birmingham. but there are. sixty from years ago. in which the final target i'm going to my major offensive from the army. it's country became the symbol of the former financial tsunami. and the big three were nazi germany. the fall of muslims

are cheap.

as midnight here on our t.v. good to have you with us as we take a look back at the stories that shape the week moscow calls georgia's arrest of thirteen alleged russian spies a political farce aimed at scoring political points back home to police he's moved was also met with mistrust. one of russia's top investigative journalist severely beaten in moscow police say oleg kashin professional activities may have been a motivation for the attack. dmitri medvedev store of russia's far east coral islands has angered japan which also claims the territory but moscow says the ownership is beyond dispute and promises to invest in the remote region. and president obama's party suffers a defeat in the u.s. midterm elections that many say as ordinary americans who have lost out as big business played a big role in deciding the outcome. of next artie's sophie shevardnadze discusses the future of the movie industry and particular tastes of russian viewers with the head of the disney company for russia and the c.i.s.

stay with us. my initial golf was kind of thank you very much for this interview thank you very much for the invitation now more and more russian films take part in an international film festival so sexually mean that movies are becoming a full fledged business in russia all this new company came few years ago to the russian market and since then the whole movie industry in russia picked up and now russian box office is one of the leading in the world for a lot of does the movies so i think with a lot of comfort i can say that. this is the really important and very fast growing market in russia but yet do you maybe have a feeling that that could make company came a little late to the russian market. in our view it was exactly the right time.

in order to develop needs a lot of infrastructure just maybe a few words about our business in russia movies is definitely one of the very important businesses for us movies distribution production are very happy about our first very successful experience with book with masters we do a lot of consumer products we do live entertainment shows we publish books games we do sell our programming on a lot of channels disney channel in russia so for all of that to happen i mean the economy needs to be prepared so what kind of products to us to snare actually sell in russia and in the c.i.s. countries with multiple consumer products starting with. a lot of stationary obviously games toys etc one of the most important trends which i would really like to specify during the last few years the amount of products that would be produced

in russia for the right. an audience tripled if you look into the products that was in russia for the russian audience most of them in russia on the russian industrial enterprises for european mean what do russian companies need to catch up with a standard itself western production companies i would say catching up maybe not exactly the right word. in russia there is amazing history of story telling and for this day in russia the country would like to get inspiration from the russian stories and make movies based on the russian heritage and culture but use some of the heritage that we have in the world this new company and tell them some how we tell stories how the characters develop and always have the happy ending or the release that's really interesting to us actually. a stable hollywood

tradition here in russia or just a russian audience need to be felt like a very specific content that it's used to strongly believe that russian audience has very distant taste and definitely a lot of big blockbusters work in russia and russia nor do. they love alice in wonderland but at the same time there are a lot of stories that can be told specifically for the russian audience and we believe fairy tales that we started with masters we tapped into something that was not done in russia for a long time it's the quality family entertainment and family stories which we see can travel around the world because with book of masters prizes in various field festivals around the world what we see i mean traditional russian stories can also travel just beyond the russian audience even though the book of masters was created for the russian origin specifically was book of masters as big of a block baster here in russia as alice in wonderland all over the world but even my

question is what kind of movie is profitable to produce and fresh. in order to make profits like blockbusters make in the west for the movies to be successful the audience needs to be interested in the movie and the box office obviously is one of the very important drivers for the revenue for any of the movies t.v. rights definitely is very important part of that and other distributions like d.v.d. blu ray and digital distribution so what does this need to do with digital content what do you deal with it digital content and digitalization is one of the very important strategies for us in russian more and more content is being. used and distributed in digital form and one of the exciting tendencies that we see is that more content that we create in russia now travel abroad for example mobile games. games and digital games it's a success commercial success of

a film inevitably linked with the way that film is advertised i think yes but different movies might require very different advertising yes it could be advertising on t.v. billboards in the recent time a very important part of advertising is social advertising and social communities on the internet there are a lot of examples already in this country and in other countries where the audience loves it not necessarily you have. but they really a lot of people come to see the movie if they feel it's worth seeing and spending the time there is the major question for filmmakers after the success of avatar hollywood companies including this may have started to take advantage of the three d. format when you think there were companies will begin to use this format to its full potential as we see right now some of the russian companies started producing three d. movies and we hope that in the near future there will be very successful examples of

that most. the recent releases of war converge to movies so now we're waiting for a really true three d. movie when it would be short as a three d. movie because the production process requires very different cameras equipment production process that is one of the sources of your income's piracy is a huge problem in russia what are the animal losses for in this name for your unit of display here in russia and how do you fight it how do you protect your intellectual property piracy is definitely a big issue for distal in russia but in a lot of countries what we see recently that people try to buy quality content and they used to buying d.v.d.'s in retail we also developed a lot of programs for various price points and we work with a lot of retail partners to make sure that we get a quality legal product to the audiences for very different price points and what

we see our d.v.d. sales and brewery growing really really fast even though we know that now the market is changing and blu ray and digital distribution is really around the corner but still a lot of families buy d.v.d.'s they want to watch movies together they buy it for their kids so would you say their losses in piracy are and aren't considerable in numbers we don't really calculate that so we do calculate how much revenue is that growing in what we see especially recently that the pirated market might be decreasing because we sell more and more d.v.d.'s again not only very expensive ones but for a mess audience and do we believe that the piracy market is decreasing how many foreign competition actually said it's very difficult to make business in russia and they're citing corruption and bureaucracy as main stumbling points would you say that the unit or your unit of the local corporation speccing the same problems here well this new company established. in two thousand and six and imagine at that

time there was nobody and to. we were able to build a very strong business and we're leaders in a lot of segments that are important for us we have it then more than two hundred people working here in this office so i believe if you really have a strategy of well thought of if you have a strong team of people you can be very successful in this market the only global major studio not to have its distribution offices here in russia is. ready for an emergence of such serious competitor what would change if warner brothers were to open their distribution offices in russia all of the major studios are present in russia where the direct office is all through their partners so already russia is one of the major markets for the hollywood studios and is growing even more do you guys use the specialists from the office and queue up or from the global the psni here in russia there are seven strategic territories in all

different company and we really exchange a lot of best practices with our colleagues not only in the u.s. about in other territories as well there's a lot of similarities between russian market in america for example there is interesting examples that we can learn from in china or japan you know the japanese animation has become really popular with the children and especially on the cartoon market do you think maybe there's a chance that japanese anime may will actually squeeze out the traditional cartoon which has actually been bergen in chip for years and. when t.v. . everybody said all the theater will die all of this. so i think there is very different types of entertainment that people would like and definitely japanese animation is a very very important part of that kids love the movie is kid loves. movies and emitted movies so i don't think it will influence strongly yes it's one of the

very interesting and important. information which will weigh. if together with all the other types of animation what projects do you think will be successful in two thousand and eleven zero where really excited about two thousand and eleven for us it's already started because our financial year ends at the end of september for us then you very interesting releases obviously tangled very exciting movie and next year we're really really looking forward to releasing parties from the caribbean right now thank you very much worse and thank you. cell phones would be useless without this mineral. is needed to make. good use of culture and is extracted at

hand on the trophies in its council two goals down to win five to receive nine points clear at the top of the russian premier league. while trouble at the top chelsea lose at liverpool also step up against newcastle match to city trial on a day of sunshine battles in the english i really. simply the best francesco molinari wins the h.s.b.c. champions in shanghai after a string battle with well by one league westward. so i was always football as it is in petersburg came back from two goals down to win five to rock bottom sabir and extend their lead to nine points at the top of the russian premier league to be a stunning visit just by taking a two goal lead to them six minutes that make even i think just two minutes. before punishing it with the other the second however is in reality and will level with just quarter of a nap played that he made the staff to go back. to steve joseph

bennett the true he's a nice. side it's a lot of the thirty three second half goals within six minutes david this does big tree down and fixing it see two up on the hour ah that gets knocked out santa in the pool not to ensure it's finished by then it's just two more points from the last four games to ensure the title is that just sit there on the other hand and i'm seven points from safety data ah. in the mean time ten months a scout went second in the table for a chunk of us of a top four three at home just three minutes in and actually bet is that steve i think it was time to decide that. that's a pretty good today. the strike rate was only. after sixty seven minutes is all the time she got to the gate out of sight madness it was for the visit is the end swiftly rally and more like yvonne also told to go back to

make it three one. with ten minutes to go the only way to get down to ten is barry sixty six a straight red card system in the playoffs. the top something steps outside insulting tennessee ought to set up and then this finale. that's it then made it through to you with a minute remaining easily taking the ball off to rebalance the targets was only to set the catch off to school for korea in stoppage time is true. but it was too little too late and it finished school three pretty a second straight defeat sees them drop to settings. elsewhere amnestic back to second bottom in the table after they paid out and goes to time to look at marty for the moscow side remain six behind spot on goal difference by science battles

assist the right league place. moving on to england town sonando tory scored a first toss bryce's livable stunned league leaders chelsea to know at anfield in an eventful day at the top of the english premier league the spain striker showed touches of brilliance in the eleventh and forty fourth minutes ensured the reds roast tonight for the third successive league victory and cut chance of lead at the top to two points third place also failed to capitalize on that title rivals slip off sandy carroll headed the winner on strike soft time is near casa moved up to sixty one else victory at the emirates not close first leaf when it got the since december two thousand and one much to city meanwhile remain false off too early to know west brom mario balotelli scorched. shoot first half goals in six minutes then saw the reds just after the hour albion was also a man down to the last eight minutes you see from a long post and off the baggies that tent. formula one and sebastian vettel led mark webber to

a red bull one to win the brazilian grand prix to take the world title fight to the final race of the season at abu dhabi while red bull clinched the constructors' championship for the first time took the lead at the want and cruised to victory in sao paolo webber was second ahead of fernando alonso of ferrari who retains the championship lead this come out of mclaren is false defending champion jenson button fifth tennis metallica through the next sixteen. so a quick look at the standings reveals a thrilling finale is in store in abu dabi fear reticular before drivers could still take the title first place alone so can afford to finish second in abu dhabi and still take the crown if the weather wins or he could finish the bulls and clinch the title the battle wins the race retains only a slim mathematical chance he's twenty three points adrift of the long so we need all his rivals top disastrous races to win second trying to scratch this place but it can also retain his title. golf now and francesco molinari held his nerve to win

the h.s.b.c. champions in shanghai after a gripping battle with lee westwood the italian overcame westwood by one shot in a spirited jol while in ari closed with a five under par sixty seven currently the second of his career to school the debut with westward as the world's number one player although the englishman finds his way to the mark molinari and one point two million u.s. dollars in prize money and moved up to number fourteen in the world rankings. i saw you now and the continental hockey league will now take a ten day break while the european nations take part in the carry allah cup in finland but before that in the last of sunday's eight matches second place down i was go took on league leaders measure that by mr gorst as the two conference leaders went head to head in the russian cop. it'll get you stay tight throughout the first thirty minutes before letterman finally managed to pry the deadlock. was thinking was even the school offered goaltender how was in touch with the motion was denied i texted me denise to take the school on

a bright white one was still the red light to go on twice more in the last period to make let me out of the race and size me one time speaking on our place i see the final score for once do not like that's what's best for defeating the right however to be honest by speaking to the break into thinking it's three very happy to try to score because i've been struggling with her support for for many games so i know if i believe. so i'm very very it was this is a very very good team and it's a challenge for us to kind of measure ourselves and see how we compare against the best team from from the east so i guess if you look at it. maybe there's a little bit more motivated tonight kind of proves that we were boring at the. time belles was on but having gone looking as you crossed sixty one time i said it's all

about you life was surprisingly strong also sixty by far east atlanta sort of after the least for one defending champions x. boss came from three goals down to install three top end of scotts in petersburg also fought back to win three want to take just a bad luck not to trash nefesh you make seven to dance to number minutes if issues has to defeat the chants. and finally coaling is a for the new sport for russians but the country sports bosses are king for it to dominate the next winter games in sochi so the national olympic committee has turned to canada for help from uncle sam f. how small i was googling is traditionally popular in countries like canada switzerland sweden. and denmark to name just a few and it's been that way there for hundreds of years however in russia which has had the same weather for a christmas as those countries all along the sport of curling has somehow failed to reach the masses a fact which has been considered and major disadvantage especially head of the next

whole winter olympics but russian sports authorities are aiming for nothing less than to defy the odds at the next winter games and have formed an experimental national team which includes a coach and players from canada i think what has to happen here is you have to get fresh on the forefront perhaps you can have a real competition and that even after the woman question i think it happens and instead of having it all for the requests of women girls to start playing really so i think that has seen its creation with them and if we can get the men where they qualify into the world or the european championships playing at the world level and start showing some results at the world level it will def it's more about that it will probably be a long while before the russians can embrace curling as a favorite sport or even pastime as has happened with bowling for example but first things first the country's national squads need to stake

a claim on the international curling circuit while the ladies scene has already started making a name for itself the men's side is definitely lacking both in results and recognition it was hoped they invited canadian curlers would raise the level of russia's domestic competitions and that's already happening according to penny woodbridge but the players themselves are ready to go the extra mile for the team and become naturalized citizens of russia to realize their the big dream if we're fortunate enough to go and help him to go i mean we'd be all too willing to make if it works make it happen you know when you're on a team you spend so much time training other and then you know together with and with alexis alexander we know it would mean the world to them to get to you know represent by fan a international proposition if we can help them do the. now think now for us human resources is just one of the it's the goals that needs to be overcome in roots in a big lorry suitable infrastructure for curling is the next hurdle which will be tackled head on by russia sport bosses and according to hans woodbridge the chief

ice maker at the vancouver olympics now hired by the russian it became easy the success of curling it's possible in russia the sport will get more popular ask us time goes on you know like in canada we have over one million up difference. is just going to grow to more it's going to grow you can have steak good england have wheelchair curry you can have all kinds of things that are new so you will have to be just meet some of these and need a sneakers and you need people that do precise work even though occurring in russia at the moment is under developed to say the least the country's national teams are expected to deliver a good result at the winter and a big games in sochi and those home games in the year twenty fourteen could become the necessary catalyst for the advancement of this so far exotic sport in the biggest country on earth or a man cos rev artsy. and that's all this post news by the now.
