russian businessmen are bitter broods says he was pressured to confess to crimes the insists he did not commit. you're watching r t seven pm here in moscow welcome to the program and for the first time since back in u.n. sanctions against iran over its nuclear program russia's president has met during a leader mahmoud ahmadinejad and it was those suspected atomic ambitions which were the focus of the talks held in azerbaijan that two were meeting at a summit of the five nations bordering the caspian sea all of whom have claims of the seas of vast energy resources parties able to scan all through ports. the meeting between the presidents of russia and iran is surely one of the biggest highlights of the summit sensis the first time that they met since russia back to the latest set off during sanctions on iran and also cancel the shipment of the ass

three hundred air defense systems a move which was strongly criticized by iran and cause a significant a significant chilling in relations between the two countries after the meeting with her that this was a positive meeting and that both presidents who are not afraid to talk about complicated and even unpleasant issues and of course iran's controversial nuclear program was discussed and moscow says that it's keen to get a clearer picture of iran's of views on the situation and also explain its position in order to try to move the dispute from the deadlock it's currently in russia and iran are neighbors in the caspian region and moscow says that it's also keen to continue cooperation with iran in many other spheres like peaceful nuclear energy just remind you russia built the bush era nuclear power plants for iran and also even a military trade as well if these arms the sold on this don't fall under the latest

set of the same president outlined in the job the iranian leader said to that these this latest set of sanctions is ineffective and also called the international community to stop what he called was aggression one talking about iran's nuclear program if it wanted to this a long standing the dispute to finally come to an end well let me just tell you a little bit about the caspian sea itself first of all the caspian sea is extremely rich in natural resources we're talking about up to twenty billion tons of oil and gas that's comparable with the deposits in the persian gulf also up to ninety percent of the global sturgeon catch is done here as well and during soviet times the sea was shared between the soviet union. and you're right on but after the collapse of the u.s.s.r. new new independent states emerged in the region and obviously everybody wants a piece of the pliable however the sea still hasn't been officially divided and

this is the first such summit of the summit off the caspian nations it's meant to figure out how to divide the sea and to build up enough fishel status for the for the sea so the decisions taken at this summit are quite important and do affected the lives of millions of people living in the. countries. but the mayor sought in a call from the moscow based institution of world economy and international relations says iran knows it needs to work with the international community. last weekend. witness the international pressure which is actually it is being blocked in the raw but that at the same time if you're a man by the statement by lady ashton the crew is a high commission of european union with a masochist to iranian president to resume the talks with thing the group of six

this states why entitle to continue negotiations with iran and the iranian president actually gave the answer that iran is ready to negotiate within the group of six so i think that probably in the future this international pressure if iran would sincerely continue the negotiations including the controversial united nuclear program. would be eased. president obama has addressed a bipartisan meeting at the white house where he's urged republicans to approve a key on three duction deal with moscow before the end of the year following gains in midterm elections republicans have so far been stalling the ratification of the new start treaty now the deal aims to cut the number of russian and u.s. nukes by a third well let's get more from our correspondent guy and it is in washington so

good and what is the president obama saying to the senators. well it has as you said president obama sat down with senators both democrat and republican to once again explain why the twenty needs to be ratified and why it needs to be ratified now as this senate's time in office is running out start treaty tensions reached their peak earlier a key republican start to go shater in the senate jon kyl said there are other important things to do now and the senate shouldn't rush on the treaty ratification obama and the key figures of his administration are really going out of their way out of their way to pull this off by the end of this year if the treaty is not ratified by this senate the guess is they will face more obstructionism with the newly elected senate that's going to be more republican there's a very tense partisan game going on here in washington and as many capitol hill observers say it's no longer about the content of the treaty but rather about flexing political muscles as far as the content is concerned it's been true over and over again on dozens of hearings held by different senate committees the

country's military unanimously testified in support of the treaty a number of former secretary of state both republican and democrat former defense secretaries all said having started is in u.s. national security in u.s. national interest and it doesn't make the u.s. long so there is a huge bipartisan support for the treaty among experts but not on the hill and today we heard the head of the russian state duma dumas foreign relations committee because they think of course the such europe say the treaty is too important to be to become a victim of political bickering here is what he said. you can do will be responsible for the american birth it will be the responsibility for the senate of the. birth of the servant to be truly opposed to sort of security should. do much want to do to believe in these respective because it is too dangerous it is too. forgivable so to see in terms of for the global security of the united states and russia have

a special responsibility to reach. to do the into the school for certain political parties which may be the case in the ongoing discussions in the streets. well in many capitol hill observers here in washington say the whole start ratification debate now comes down to the question whether some republican senators are ready to undermine a landmark treaty which to most expert experts represents common sense just for the sake of picking on obama or will how was all of this likely to affect the reset of relations between russia and the u.s. . well there so what's on the line now is arguably obama's major foreign policy achievement the start treaty is the milestone of the reset in u.s. russian relations the reset which the administration is tirelessly reminding resulted in critical cooperation from moscow on of gana stand and the iran there is an understanding that further cooperation plans could go south without this key

pretty in place to start is not just about reducing both country's nuclear arsenals by third if it's seen as a symbol of trust between the two nuclear superpowers and tonight obama is flying to the nato summit in europe where he'll meet with the russian president made available we're talking about expanding russia nato cooperation of ghana state about the possibility of participating in the european missile the fans for example on the latter issue everyone understand it's difficult to even consider the possibility of such missile defense cooperation without the start trading place oh right r.t. correspondent guy in the truck now reporting there from washington. well now as we've heard the presidents of russia and the u.s. will need to lisbon this weekend the nato summit there will map out missile defense strategy in afghanistan and the entire rule of the alliance russia's envoy to nato says that while moscow and the alliance are moving closer on some issues common ground on nonproliferation and missile defense still nice work and let's get more

from diana johnstone in paris she's an author was written about nato is role in the modern world now diana nato recently suggested a russia could be part of a joint missile defense project for europe but nato has reportedly taken plans to remove cold war era nuclear weapons off from europe off the agenda even though russia sees them as a threat so with that in mind can russia and nato ever work together in the area of missile defense. well i don't see how really they can work together unless it's completely on the terms that are set by the united states and i think that this offer is simply to. quell any objections that might exist in europe that were offending russia but in fact i think it's a perfect example of the way the obama administration says two things that are opposite all the time we want to be friendly but we're building up our defenses we

were going to get rid of nuclear weapons but we're going to develop some more sort of saying all right well as you have said and also in your article you say need to as an instrument of u.s. strategy what about other major members don't be make their voices heard in the alliance. well they don't make them heard a loud enough so that it makes any difference in private they may in these many conferences that the united states leads in order to get a consensus but i'm waiting to hear them really object to anything perhaps. the fact that this is a new defense minister in france to pay perhaps he will say something but actually i'm just waiting to hear anything that. really says strategy they may object to a little point by the united states that sets the agenda always ok well nato is still committed to afghanistan britain's top commander recently said that al-qaeda

and the taliban cannot be defeated using military force and suggested that nato should plan for a forty year state and can nato ever win that war. nobody seems to think so but they're staying there because at least it's a way of building up for the united states hopes it's a way of building up the sort of international army under its command however things are going very very badly in afghanistan as they always do for anybody who invade afghanistan ok well we see that nato is now desperately searching for more allies it's become clear that americans have realized that confrontation with russia is not pointless and they need russian help but does russia need nato is it a win win deal. well i don't see any deal of all in fact i don't see that exactly that that what you're saying is correct that the united states has

decided it's pointless to have confrontation with russia why then is it building up forces in the arctic. bringing canadian and scandinavian forces into. a armed force whose only purpose could be to confront russia over resources in the arctic assuming that the arctic ice caps mills and opens up possible resources the united states is carrying out military maneuvers in the baltic clear whose only opposition could be russia and the black sea so i don't see it really that the united states has decided that confrontation with russia is pointless again it's a double thing they say one thing and they do another and it's impossible since it's a big bureaucracy the pentagon don't really know exactly what the policy is ok well russia is formally opposed to any fresh eastward expansion of nato but the alliance

is still hoping to get ukraine you said in your article that this is a recipe for war with russia how realistic is that chaz of inmates a russia war. well i don't think so i'm not i don't even think it's so realistic for ukraine to belong to nato and it isn't in fact nato as a whole that is pushing for that it's the united states but it quiets the objections which came from its nato allies because germany and france said they were against it and the united states goes right ahead and keeps talking about how ukraine must be part of nato i don't think that this is going to happen and i don't think there's going to be war but i think the united states likes to intimidate russia as much as possible to to make it. subservient really all right thank you very much for that that was diana johnstone author of who was written about nato his role in the modern world. russian a businessman victor boot says he came under severe pressure from u.s.

authorities to admit charges of arms trafficking and terrorism he's now in a new york prison and has rejected all accusations against him moscow says it will offer consular help to boot well the russian officials say it doesn't mean they think he's innocent parties medina portnoy has the story. mr boot has said that u.s. officials had tried to pressure him for evidence and pressure him to confess to crimes during his extradition from thailand to the united states and according to what's being reported this is a pressure that mr boot did not came into. being too big to during the extradition there was attempted to convince him to make a confession of the crimes he had never committed and promised some kind of privileges in return rejected all these offers what the russian diplomats also have disclosed is that mr boot is being held in solitary confinement at the metropolitan correctional center in lower manhattan mr booth has also left his wife being

relocated to the u.s. here to new york to be with him his wife of course has been in thailand in bangkok by his side for more than two years proclaiming her husband's innocence now mr bhutto stood before a federal judge and the judge had read out the charges to mr boot pled not guilty on all of the charges when the u.s. attorney however was addressing the press in new york speaking for about ten to fifteen minutes about the case that they are building against mr victor boot the russian businessman and outlining specifically the charges let's take a listen to what he had to say now stands charged in this district the southern district of new york with four charges. one conspiring to kill united states nationals two conspiring to kill united states officers and employees three conspiring to use and acquire anti-aircraft missiles and for conspiring to provide

material support to the fark what's interesting to note and to underscore is that during this press conference the us attorney and the head of the da continued to paint a picture of victor boot one of the most dangerous men in the world a man who sides with violence who sides with the war who sides against the united states they were for a time as a so-called merchant of death and then at the end of their press conference they want to remind everyone that victor boot remains innocent until proven guilty and assuring the press that he will receive a fair trials were questioning how that could take place after he's already painted in the press and in the international media as a man who promotes violence and promotes war so a lot of wondering whether or not this trial will in fact be fair for mr victor boot. roma gypsies are facing growing prejudice across europe some e.u. countries blame the roma for rising crime and tackle it by deporting them but for

help from the private sector that paul has the details. russia manages to combine a number of the worst problems in transport just getting from a to b. can prove torture of some made all the worse by the sheer size of the country motorways a far and few between and the roads are often badly patrolled moscow is a case in point it has the fourth worst traffic jams of any major city in the world it's a very unorganized so i think there is what is the main point is missing in my eyes is certain to take advantage of the city in the uk today seventy eight of them try to join us live as a base of the traffic is. interconnecting system which which i was a huge investment is also needed to build just one kilometer of road in the capital can cost up to three hundred million dollars the sums involved is such that the government needs. private money if it's not to put too big a dent in the budget and wants to improve efficiency private companies have

a lot of know they have a lot of experience of similar approach act when they come here than of course to be honest money but it's just the size of the market you attract those contracts you are talking about a contract run for ten years fifteen years or twenty years the time it takes to make a return on an investment is a major deterrent is to invest is even when construction companies can be found to join a public private partnership they find it hard to convince the banks to provide backing this is where the world bank can lend a hand and generally will be a lot of institutional work for which we will be basically providing support to the companies in the future if they are once we go further down the road there raby possibilities of sort of financial activity once the roads a build people will still need to find a place to park often a time consuming problem in moscow the government may be able to help by changing

legislation so developers combined land inside the city rather than just renting it this would provide added incentives to incorporate profit traffic management and shopping malls and business districts would be adequately supplied with parking spaces freeing up the roads for people who are trying to get somewhere nick who business altie. let's take a look at the equity markets yes docs to shop the high assessed as investors continue to bet on a rescue package for ireland and anxious to wash the beginning of trading for general motors shares boy market sentiment general measures started actually trading on the new york stock exchange recently up eighty percent chance on pace for one of the biggest u.s. national public offerings ever i'll quote is leading the gains on the dow jumping three point one percent while filing is up one point eight percent and cisco's. systems gaining one point six percent. let's take a look at some figures in europe european stocks
