this partnership is the only way for nato to survive off the failed campaign in afghanistan. what is the hidden agenda of the latest nato in lisbon from the russian perspective the most important thing is to make sure they've made to splinter russia from its allies at c s t it's already plain and palpably obvious that the nato mission in afghanistan has failed it's obvious both the united states and russia the most important and missing thing is pakistani involvement one way or another in the afghan conflict in fact nato is nothing more than a political and military talking club which from the legal perspective is just a european version of the state of forces agreement for the united states bases in

western and eastern beer but russia can offer the life support for the new role nato as an equal partner full of c s t o where russia is just one of its equal members that is the only chance for the atlantic alliance to get a new leaves off life after its miserable day back home in afghanistan. now at some other news from around the world. rescue officials in new zealand opera pairing to send a high tech new robot into a mine following friday's explosion which left twenty nine workers trapped underground they hope to transmit pictures on the sest toxic gas levels have so far hindered search efforts there's been no communication with the men since the disaster the country's prime minister says there's every chance the men are still alive. united states special representative to north korea has met south

a magnetic attraction. it was scary the first time then we slowly get used to them and it became interesting. mohammed shimmery is a surgeon by profession and moved to north a city or install via times now he's embarked on a tough mission to restore the peregrine and seek a falcon population of the region for five seven years we didn't have the permission to release the birds the ones that were born in the census stayed here for more than a century peregrine's have been a reassigned to north a city and it took mohammed over a decade to get the falcon britain project on track britain peregrine's in captivity has proved to be difficult for one she peregrine had no chicks for eight years no matter what meal fell can bring she didn't want to mate. mohamed has a story to tell about each of his one hundred fifty birds every day the result long

to do list and just three people so they're all kept very busy. they say it takes a lot to train a fella going for hunting but in the wild birds have a completely different existence. the falcons born in captivity are trained to hunt and leave in the wild every year a few are released one even made its way as far as morocco only go in to prove the success of the operation you know if they continue releasing at least twenty five thirty five birds are nearly there is a chance that the species will stay here it's not hunted down nowadays though there are rare cases i think one day will see peregrine's not passing by is now the building nests here meanwhile mohammed dreams about getting a green light on his falcon risk. is that people who give you get to like the bird of brie you really love nature and the other forest ambulance so maybe with all felt in school we can somehow help the environment if the youth understands the

environment in the right way we will live well with the paragon population now on the rise he wants to turn his attention to the falconry school teaching the locals how to look after the birds of prey and allow them to sue over their satan mountain save to hunt rather than be hunted. and then it r.t. from north s. it here. coming up the bloody battle of the turning point in world war two has left a legacy that to this day continues to haunt the island and its people a story in our special report ten minutes time. seventy six hours of intense fighting. six thousand days. of beach front battlefields several kilometers long. and now the result of one person who cares. you see we are surrounded by garbage everywhere but also there are. on this beach

markets at the same time the country wants to diversify its economy and looking for foreign investors the country's prime minister spoke exclusively with business to business r.t. about those plans. because i stand if no on the wall because we have a huge reserves of the natural resources before the bridge over the minerals and settle but to be only supplier of resources to the war is not. now distillation is to be to have a competitor for free market economy to have a competitive. population with a higher standard of education mr prime minister it's been almost a year since the creation of the customs union of russia kazakstan and valorous how would you assess its work what problems have been revealed during this year and where has it been most successful of course we did have some difficulties the past

may be will be some difficulties in the future but at the same time we do hear for very achievable results and i think the results that were quantum is enterprises within the custom union became more competitive. enterprises within custom union have more competitive advantages because the market is much bigger than it used to be before especially for because of standing on the sixteen million population now we can produce or was four hundred seventy million population this is a good one teach for us in the near tariff policy in the customs union it will be based on current tariffs existing in the russian federation it will get ninety percent of all the duties while kazakhstan will receive only seven percent what is your peer is this workable it's not only workable it's already working and they already feel the one digits of that i think gives the possibility to set up

a new enterprise system the territory of all of custom union including kazakhstan and the order they feel. or interest from foreign companies to invest in kazakhstan because now they're looking for a much bigger market not only sixty million population and they already feel that interest from the. investors kazakstan plans to double oil extraction by twenty twenty what will be the priority in the country's energy policy and what export markets work has a start target kazakhstan is planning to double the export possibilities by twenty twenty and distin asian. exporter for energy to sources with the additional countries thought russian power plants east into europe through c.p.c. . consortium projects through russian territory but would boost. to

a five month high on one at one point on monday losses in chinese banks cap gains after trying to order the fifty basis point increase in reserve ratios for banks they have however is losing over a quarter of a percent. the russian my credit markets closed flat to positive on friday the r.t.s. broke the six hundred point benchmark condition just a tenth of a percent demise it's had an up and down session and it just a little higher. than the global financial markets have been trapped between encouraging economic data from the u.s. and worries about inflation china stephen says the trend is likely to continue in the coming week. we probably will see more of the same. inflation risk out of china and out of other parts of the world is very serious i think people are still concerned what the implications of quantitative easing in the united states will be

. sold that there is still a lot of concerns that are weighing on investors' minds on the other hand you know we are approaching december the last month of the year despite the fears and a lot of problems with european euro zone that china the year seems to be ending in a positive note so maybe you know people will try to see kind of a positive ending to two thousand and ten so i think we'll probably see more of the same. people being concerned selling their shares and taking some profits close to the end of the year and people who are more optimistic loading up on chairs say but i think we'll probably see markets a little changed there are no major announcements also it's going to be a short the short week in the u.s. because of the things giving holiday. as a subject for this hour i'll get back with more in less than thirty minutes from.
