thanks. u.s. embassies are locked into damage control after the details of thousands of frank and damning diplomatic cables are published critical of even america's closest allies. residents of mumbai's slums refuse to leave their city center real estate to make way for airport expansion unless the government makes it worth their while. and waterworld the russian invent a hell powered submarine opens up the wonders of the ocean depths to heaven with or without things doing.

a.t.m. the russian gavel you're watching our table a marina joshie welcome to the program the inner workings of u.s. diplomacy is being put on display for the world to see thanks to whistleblower web site wiki leaks thousands of communiques reveal often damning opinions of host countries including close allies among them seemingly illegal plans to spy on top u.n. figures at the suggestion the state department knew george it was planning an attack in south the city before it happened. joins us live from moscow with the details good morning to you know let's see how we get our thoughts of america's diplomats how badly they are how are they dealing with this massive. well it is really hard to say who will no joke with the american diplomats after this damage has been done by that we could each website indeed the reputation of the american diplomacy is now intact just following these publications by the controversial website it has

lots of different listings in particular about the u.n. general assembly one of the american diplomats actually discussed the order under which the people had to leave the whole of the general assembly. when. john was to speak for instance some situations even were quite absurd for instance when as. was to mention the whole of course issue a swedish diplomat a member of the swedish delegation had to leave the room all these words but the iranian president did not mention this and the swedish diplomat was actually perplexed as to what to do next he had to stay inside the room and didn't know what to do next obviously they publications by that we can expect side also contain some information that several key figures in the un general assembly were spied on by the by the intelligence by the special forces in the united states also the wiki

leaks talk of. many different controversial global issues for instance that the american diplomats actually supported the kurdish party in a turkey despite openly saying that that wasn't so and also there have been many reports of different anti slimy statements by the american diplomats which puts their work under serious threat in the middle east and the muslim countries across the world so it is really hard to say what steps they will do now to clear their name. almost a quarter of a million files will be published by the we can exist only a small portion of them which is being published now and we get to see what the controversial web site is you have to say. place the first time information was released to russian media outlets any specific revelations there. yes we do know that we can lease has provided the russian border magazine with several very important. files several very important leaks in particular the website says

that the american ambassador to georgia knew twenty four hours before the georgian bomb started falling and saw the city that the war was going to happen but after that he was contacting washington on how. to start a media campaign and clearing cyclist with his name on obviously persuading the world as it was not soccer city was started to see this war also we could have side reports of differences between american diplomats on political figures across the world when they discussed the how the countries are being drawn and talking some really nasty things about different world leaders and we also know that they spoke about who is running things in russia either didn't or meeting we did it in particular during the five day city and war the we can expect side says that american diplomats believe that it was actually led you to putin who is in charge

of things in russia but we understand that this information this these conversations were held in the george w. bush era and now that we know that there's a certain reset in relations between the united states and russia so obviously quite possibly that these opinions have now changed with the new administration office in washington. for analyzing things very much indeed for this of day to have here pouring there from moscow we're staying with the subject with no talk to suggest rick on political columnist at commerce and newspaper so it seems now this one that we can least tries to change the world of diplomacy but how relevant is the picture that it's painting that's a good question and i have a feeling that this weekend run we were just flooded with the leaks about leaks was something like twenty four hours of madness so i think the first thing we have to do is just to regain consciousness and to analyze the situation in cold blood and to understand that definitely the leaks this is very important thing but at the same time we have to keep in mind that whatever classified documents are released

there just are all material of diplomacy and you can't judge the actions of the countries and their policies but just by my documents which meant just say for diplomatic domestic consumption what do you make of. timing wise that so much information is revealed now well this is another good question because as i understand the above my administration is supposed to pay the bills or of the last administration because of the some documents of beit dated back to the year two thousand and four two thousand and five so i personally have a feeling that the this is ongoing an attack on president obama which started not today and which aims not to allow him to be reelected this is the theme i think well we're dealing with a situation here where quite a million sensitive documents have been sneaked out what can we say about this i mean what do you make of the situation and the state department and how was this

allowed to happen well of course this is an unprecedented situation definitely and . i think this is just a serious lesson for the state department i don't want to go as far as to say that the state department is falling apart but definitely this is a serious incident which has to be analyzed because. if such situations happens that this custom or shadow of the work of the state department soon definitely they have to improve their defeat because they put by such as they put in an awkward position in the they they have partners all over the world i mean diplomatic service all rights against with on things for much of the for your views here political columnist of commerce and used paper thanks very much having. you're watching are you live from moscow to other stories now china is seeking to ease tensions on the korean peninsula by proposing an emergency meeting of the six nations involved in north korea disarmament talks but the south has said it was not

interested in formally resuming talks on nuclear disarmament tension remains high on the peninsula when the u.s. and south korea holding forty joint military exercises in the yellow sea near the disputed maritime border young gang is reportedly put its surface to surface missiles on alert it comes just days after a latest incident where the north claimed to be provoked by the south fire tillery on an island killing four heaviest cobar brazil based correspondent for asia times says that the only way to resolve the conflict between the three is is to proceed with the talks. you can accuse the north korean regime of anything but they are rational actors they are not crazy they're not foolish they have a kind of bunker mentality when they feel they're under siege state can react and sometimes some predictable ways but usually very aggressively like if you corner a cat in a room the cat will go at you even if europe huge lion so the only possible

solution which the north koreans themselves are always saying look we need to sit down and talk and the chinese they don't want to rock the boat they don't want to unified korea they want to start to scold the will of north korea as a kind of laurel s. they're alley you know you know very very sensitive border they don't want always unified korea with american bases in the what is today north korea so are the chinese and for the north koreans just looks like an attacking exercise specially because the george u.s.s. george washington which is it's basically a floating war machine with six thousand soldiers and fighter jets it's a nuclear powered you name it they could destroy the whole country if they want to know how it's going to the yellow sea as well this is they use the struggle cation now that was pepe escobar brazil based correspondent for the asia times and then apart in watching artane still to come on the program. this is

a unique thing in the world we have heinies we had to be as accurate as possible to dive dive dive into how power itself promises to take intranet out forests to new depths. it's the biggest aviation hobb in india and the whole of south asia plans for the much needed expansion of mumbai's main airport being hampered as it's surrounded by slums the government wants to relocate the thousands of families living there although wisconsin reports the proposals have yet to take off. this is the first glimpse most people get of mumbai india's financial capital it's not a pretty sight with around one hundred thousand families sharing their walls with the international airport this is not just an eyesore it's a huge security hazard also on as far as the runway lengths are concerned as far as development of hangars is concerned you know these are activities which the airport requires expansion of the terminal building today we are chock

a block at the airport where you have almost a one hour of circling time for every aircraft the government hopes to clear that three hundred acres of airport land the slum is a good stop on but attempts to relocate the slum dwellers have met with stiff opposition like many others here a couple fears her livelihood will be disrupted if she moves but i'm not concerned with the airport has expanded or not but where we are staying now a replacement houses should be in the same area and largely here to here and children work at the airport and women and money by cleaning utensils right here if you really came to us what do we earn we are not moving from this area. two years ago all the state government gave the contract to leading developer h.d.i. i have to we have a late date the slum residence by building them homes up to seven kilometers away but with the state agencies acquiring land to accommodate only one in every four

families many prefer to stay poor with every change there is going to be resistance but having said that people are aware the slum we have british an unknown by works . at the same time because now they are being shifted from lines which they currently occupying some of them will not qualify the slum residents occupy prime land in the center of mumbai and did know it and important source of votes into the government will has to force them out as a result their demands have become even more ambitious. i mean each family should receive at least one hundred eighty thousand dollars this compensation if you all. slip me by it will cost that much this is expensive but at least the family can live frugally the government can even give us this conversation money provided placements and in this area. this has become an important for the government with mumbai airport already congested it desperately needs the land that the slum has

encroached upon we increase its capacity a second airport has been sanctioned on the outskirts of mumbai but this will not be ready to let thousand and fifteen so it remains to be seen if the government will win the battle against the residents of this mumbai slum but in seeing r.t. india. and the us the failure to tackle growing poverty and unemployment has strengthened accusations of favoring the rich when taking anti-crisis measures later today cross-talk people of oil and in he and his gas discuss what steps should be taken so that the us system doesn't turn to socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor here's a taster. please call me remains terrible because because most of it most of the capital flowing towards the public sector i mean if they have the government will allow first of all our real economic contraction to take place that we can get down and we can wring out some of this bad debt and only rely upon the corner when you're twenty percent unemployment is what we need twenty percent unemployment this austerity scheme does not work we have a twenty year plan are going to create want to hear that are you are going to be

followed by mr hinde we're going the right jam go ahead grant in singapore and i mean we're in the midst and we're in the in the united states in the past twenty or thirty years as you were born and we've had some unbelievable dislocations we have we have done things which no country in the world should do we have run up debts which we can never pay off no matter how hard we try what the politicians are and you say we don't have to have a recovery from that i mean when you have a long hangover you've got to recover when you have a long illness you have to re. whenever you make mistakes mr hand when somebody has got to pay for those mistakes and it should be the rich and we should have my own up to iran she's an interesting article but. the length of a u.s. led war in afghanistan is now extreme that of the sort of campaign they're standing here it's set to last for another four asked combat troops plan to withdraw in two thousand and fourteen artie's military contracts are current get equal shots as the

situation is only getting more complicated the u.s. military campaign in afghanistan has beaten this of its record. duration well naturally this new american record has triggered lots of questions regarding to what extent is it possible even to compare the some of the it and nato campaigns in the same country well what most experts and analysts have totally missed is that it is not correct to compare at all that then some of it and now american military presence in afghanistan paradoxically for no other reason that it these still the same thirty years plus war that had been triggered by a back in one thousand nine hundred seventy nine it started as the cia proxy war against this soviet union then after the soviet forces it was drawl that television came in to get rid of the anarchy only to be followed by the united states

operation enduring freedom when they came counting for osama bin laden so no this is the american face of the same thirty years plus war beach was also triggered by the united states now it's totally in capsulated within these bermuda triangle pakistan to united states and afghanistan itself. incidents of abuse and civilian deaths in afghanistan is something u.s. forces have long been blamed for r.t. so be sure not to discuss this and other parts of the american led campaign without getting foreign minister dr zalmai rassoul that interview is coming up in about fifteen minutes but here's a quick look. at this creative tension to be sure of if you nice the shoe of civilian casualties. of the night three in the house moving more afghan forces would be charge off to come but listen this would be this kind of problems. so take

st petersburg. well it brings us up to date here in our t.v. business is next we'll hear it all go away. hello and a very warm welcome to the business program what start with an r t exclusive the biggest foreign shareholder in gas from has revealed why it's selling up in the facts public comments on falling talks at target it joined in on say it three gods if gazprom as it as non-strategic the world's largest utility is expected to announce the deal with mischa canal bank for the three billion here a three point five percent stake here as russia finance chief was speaking at the opening of the fast new tour of power plant what you see in front of you is very strategic number one what you see in front of you is a combined cycle gas turbine unit it's the most efficient operating in this country what is non-strategic is more something that we don't feel we have the right

competency for this is our competency what you see in front of us we are an excellent builder or constructor and organizer of cesar t. projects and we try to meet the expectations of the russian government. well russia is the fifth largest gold producer in the world but despite rocketing prices for gold growth is slowing arches the teleplay explores why russia could be left behind the gold rush. there is the world. then why we're. here. when we got on to ground we saw just one man drilling before the ninety's said that m m one in the urals used to employ three thousand workers producing five tonnes of gold a year now it produces as little as five hundred kilograms of the precious metals

and even though gold now come on sky high prices the miners here still left behind in the gold rush for membership it's hard and expensive to work in mining metal producers hike prices all the time transport and electricity monopolies raise tariffs constantly miners say there is enough gold and silver down here to last for another century but experts argue mining such old deposits is profitable the industry is still leaving all of the results of saudia geological exploration and isn't desperate need of new projects there is growth in certain companies that are either extending and expanding existing mines or are bringing online. mining projects that were already known about frankly thirty years ago there's very little you know new things that are being developed are going to be factors of growth going forward so if the current situation doesn't change now in ten years you can

forget about growth it's not going to happen because there's just there's nothing else there's nothing to mind. one of the main drags on gold exploration is the law on strategic resources if a company with four and. capital finds a mind of more than fifty tons of gold it risks losing its license as such deposits become strategic the government is now considering easing restrictions and opening deposits of up to two hundred fifty tons to foreign investors the goals in russia it's going to be here it's not going anywhere it's in the ground we have borders russia has a large bureaucracy has a large tax force is a large security force has poured controls. the go get a go what difference does it make who mines it up you mine it up you pay your taxes the central bank can basically buy the gold if they want to so you know that from that point of view you're secure analysts say before the law on strategic resources

came into force until two thousand and six almost all the major gold mining projects in russia were built with foreign capital that helped industrialize the sector making that contrie the world's fifth largest gold producer if the industry is reopened for foreigners the growth prospects of russian gold mining could become the best in the world as you know but if you have a business are to the urals. island one approval for an eighty five billion euro emergency aid package as european finance ministers battled to contain the debt crisis country will receive over six to seven billion heroes from the european union and the international monetary fund and pull out another seventeen billion euros from its own pension reserves ireland becomes the second euro country to seek a rescue after queen's. visit widely to stabilize the earlier this year. to set up a seven hundred fifty billion euro rescue package to

clear and so on the situation in korea a less concerns regarding the situation in europe regarding ireland so maybe we will see some concrete suggestions for how to solve this problem so that will be probably the major drivers for international markets as for russian market i think you have a growing expenditures for spending in december will give very good support for first of all fixed income market but equity markets will also experience very good support i would bring investors attention to us from again burbank i think we can see some very good triggers in december utility sector like distribution sector probably noticed nucular thing also will be performing well there is speculation that second of december the board will decide on dividends high dividends or maybe one buyout by auto destruct. that's your business update for now or join me in less than an else time and get most or a small website r.t.
