on our team. it's now half past four in the afternoon here in moscow you all with your headlines now working with nato to prevent a new arms race forging closer ties with foreign partners those are the top priorities outlined in dimitri presidential address to the federal assembly today. a big test as he tries to break republican opposition and use his final chance this year to push through congress an arms reduction treaty with russia. the last cool russia is among those preparing their final presentation to the football world cup the winner will be announced in two years. and a blast rips through the capital. for policeman hours before the trial of the

republic's government officials. just ahead of a visit by u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton. right well u.n. conference now underway in mexico climate change is the main question on the table the company hague an agreement signed in january sets a goal of limiting global warming to two degrees celsius but many countries are unhappy with the document we talked about russia's position with dmitri media this adviser on ecology issues and the president of the world. stand by that's coming up next. i think. i did send that evanovich thank you for sitting down with us the first question is about protocol what's your take on it. your lives and

it is inefficient international regulation mechanism which allowed the participating states to get a taste of collector work it was not simple if you look at the protocol now the question is whether to prolong the second period of the protocol i would say that it is inefficient and applicable in its current form president new video of a set russia was not going to take part in the second period of the political realm or the reason for that set out in the fourth report of an intergovernmental experts group which states that global warming is accelerating in order to prevent a reversible climate change we have to make sure that global temperature grows by more than two degrees celsius if the gross to a higher level they accumulated changes in the climate and the biota will make life on earth very uncomfortable for civilisations the numbers in the fourth report state that all developed countries and we know that not every developed country is currently a member of the kyoto protocol have to reduce their emissions by at least forty percent and then keep working on reducing them so that's why the kyoto protocol in

its current form put out every developed country included on amendment b. without the u.s. on the list of participants and with china being the number one source of emissions it's pointless other developed countries such as india mexico and brazil that are not subject to any obligations in the current format of the protocol to. some scientists believe global warming is a natural process that humans can't influence or are you supposed to have that theory you are new york the global warming hypothesis that we currently use and its connection to human generated emissions is confirmed by mainly models of are on calculated these models show that there is a link as the concentration of greenhouse gases grows so the global temperature levels there are theory stating that the warming is connected to geological and cosmic cycles those theories as you understand remain a steering so what do we do what should the people on the politicians believe they

can will mold themselves into submission and think that nothing can be changed or they can try to influence those processes your civilization burns fuel and the myth greenhouse gases as they develop those emissions can be cut the population of the earth is growing and we are at risk of finding ourselves in a very difficult situation within the next twenty or thirty years who will be lacking resources we don't work hard on the conservation of those resources and energy efficiency so from that point of view i just prefer a ball to start that process than doing nothing russia is suggesting we sign a new agreement that would include all the major polluting countries we godless so whether or not they're classified as developed or developing a lot of a condom use today depend on the growth of fuel consumption and therefore the growth of emissions while the difficult part is finding a line of development that would let the con and nice and while that grow without harming the climate or consuming more and more resources there are ways to do that it was done in the us in the one nine hundred seventy s.

of course it will require the mobilization of our resources political will and the right public attitude and so on but it is a possibility that the president's decree to raise the energy efficiency of our economy was not an issue for nothing we have massive reserves and that sounds you could decrease the energy cost of our g.d.p. by twenty percent you. simple measures without even switching to high technology think about it if we implement the measures and the size down the government program we will achieve the goals that are set out and that is without impeding the development of our economy if we followed the primitive path of development would be impossible to grow without increasing our emissions russian experts who criticized the kyoto protocol have said that it would upstart russia's development was wrong and utterly popular statement because the only way the development of a country can be obscured by such an agreement is of the crime scene question is unable to fulfill the obligations it took upon itself. but what the president

probably meant is that russia should raise energy fission see because russia itself would benefit from it not because the world community wants it to you know people that is entirely correct that is the point i was trying to make when they said cutting greenhouse emissions leads to saving natural resources it is important from the point of view of sustainable and wire mentally friendly development that would leave a potential for the development of future generations do you want our children our grandchildren and great grandchildren to have something besides piles of garbage and exhausted wells don't we have to work on a. master with that so do you thing that scandal such as climate gate did not have much influence on the expat community. well you know i was not interested in the new discussions whatsoever of any such issues why because it's not british scientists who determine that people are absolutely ignorant about how observations

are made how things are assessed and how they are summarized what it is all like i mean why there is global warming or there is no such thing there is why the role of some scientists is being exaggerated for advertising purposes first a part of the world meter a logical organization is global. atmosphere watch co-ordinating observations of all greenhouse gases the center gathering the information about all greenhouse gases emissions is located in japan there is a network of climate centers around the world including russia those centers are summing up observation data over their territory there are certain rules and requirements in place concerning the standards watching climate not just weather and regular basis but things to be summed up as a rule of law an observation history as i say there are strict requirements of the world meteorological organization and therefore observation mistakes of course

there may be some but there are few if somebody takes a look at that data fifty years from now the me state that something could have been done differently but from the point of view of today capacity the scientific facts we have to fully comply with what we should have i have great concerns that in this particular case those scoundrels are not about how those data are being gathered but on how they're being presented to the intergovernmental groups of experts assessing them that's where different interpretations may occur for instance i've been saying that according to some scientists some countries should cut concentration of greenhouse gases by twenty five to forty percent by twenty twenty that's what european scientists did introduce my attitude towards that is that of distrust because in this case scientists were tackling the issue from the political point of view you interpret ing scientific research data and drawing up a report on it can be politicized and most likely this kind of politicizing it was the case here. well global warming has

a great impact on the arctic region where russia plays a major role what is currently going on that. well briefly speaking global warming reduces the ice cover smaller icy areas not just mere reduction but also means their margins of ice bergs this wasn't the case before so if talking of practical steps regarding self exploration for oil and gas industrial development it's definitely being done on the other hand ice is a natural component of the climate system meaning balance smaller i seriously need to various effects it is believed that global warming will lead to a colder climate in europe which is linked to the series that water will impact thermal water circulation and the gulf stream flowing close to europe and reach barents sea which is never covered with ice and will become colder and the regional climate will change as a possibility but scientists have differences as to whether it's likely to happen

in other words theoretically it looks likely but we don't know exactly how much i should melt down on the will take different assessments according to the most alarming once and may occur in twenty ten and europe will be frozen but this has not happened so far. what is russia doing to prevent those negative effects. definitely first the arctic is one of the least explored regions of the world severe climate conditions and absence of people there are the main factors hindering the exploration which can lead to understanding of different processes there it was russia who initiated the third international polar year in two thousand and seven two thousand and eight according to the world scientific community its scientific program has become one of the major scientific results of the beginning of the twenty first century to ensure continuity russia's come up with the idea of holding the international polar decade from the point of view of

climate research and observations we need the exploration trips we have drifting stations where you understand that it's just one spot drifting. olsson changing its position every year yes for satellite observations we do not have satellites to give a complete picture polar orbit all satellites are needed which can provide time specific shots therefore setting up such observation equipment is a major enervation project we announced and started up such a project consisting in creating the arctic project but the project has not gained momentum yet while our colleagues and you watch canada and the euro are actively working in this area because the one who manages to receive information on regular basis will first strengthen their knowledge and second their positions the arctic region needs serious exploration the arctic is called the weather kitchen and climate depends on the arctic and many respects and the other thing i like to point out is that we have a stated policy on the arctic we hold

a number of scientific conferences and a number of scientific mechanisms in place which help us understand what's going on as well as to some up research data an opportunity to carry out business in the high tech while minimizing human impact on the nature i say thank you very much for this interview. came. the closest team has been to the terms. where rich academic life gives birth to innovative ideas. now archie goes to the area which together with

the headlines here on r.t. working with nato to provide a new arms race in forging closer ties with foreign partners those are the top priorities outlined in dimitri presidential address to the federal assembly. it's barack obama's big test as he tries to break republican opposition and use his final chance this year to push congress an arms reduction treaty with russia. the last call russia was among those preparing their final bid preparations to host the two thousand and eighteen football world cup will be announced in today's. blast rips through the capital of kyrgyzstan wounding four policeman hours before the trial of the republic south student government officials in comes ahead of a visit by u.s.

secretary of state hillary clinton. and time now for the sporting news with the union. good to have your company this is sports today i'm you know me these are some of the stories we're covering this hour d.-day looms with the host nations for the twenty eighteen and twenty twenty two world cup to be announced on thursday r.t. caught up with one of britain's most decorated players american chelsea. spanish barcelona roger archrivals real madrid five nil in the first classic goal of the camera league. on thunderstruck it's anything but the big easy of new orleans lose for the fourth time in five games in the n.b.a. to oklahoma this time around. this week will decide who has won the right to host

the twenty eight dean on the twenty twenty two world cup finals russia is in the running to host the event in eight years time and our correspondent richard from port fleet caught up with former manchester united. who is confident his country will get the not. very much for a time of course. the bid for the two thousand one hundred world cup is drawing ever closer how do you rate russia's chances to big chances because it's. really a world cup. like an england ninety six two six going one coming through last world cup championship. last. if you remember people come to moscow and the results are looking for the stadium who can in for sure they would have seen. i think it was a good chance for the showing but russia's going up against countries like spain

portugal england the netherlands and belgium they've got great stadiums got great infrastructure so in theory i mean these would be all the countries to win. two thousand and ten who's more a.t.o.s. if you if you serious if russian. concentration on world world cup and things of good turns from good studios. to people really really hard to win please world cup and russia is also more of a legacy thing because as i just said i mean. these western european nations have everything russia still developing and i think this is a big catch my feet but i think you know help russia not just on the football pitch but socially as well yes of course yes. important to consultation and serious work for this way but one of things probably will which will help

russia they do win the bid to host the two thousand and eighteen world cup will be the massive. interest in the game something but isn't the case of the moment you having half empty stadiums which you must be quite a surprise coming from england and from europe where even if you go to a small town put bail or a second division club third division club stadiums all the time is a signal for this woman deleterious to the mainland to. beat on hello food more before looking for the star to move forward in school the kids. and the russian people a little bit don't understand. what's happened what's happened in the form of. this problem for the. any school or school kids for the kids that's not to me is called before and you are too many too many teams and so can the reason fear is the reason premier league believe in the play more concentration for football more

interest for football to start of a start kluwe. no two hundred percent he for. world cup and would chances who were quick or hundred points do you see russia as one of the favorites to win this world cup bid or do you think they are outsiders who sixty four two percent of us about when have are small enough and when you were down three things very well we're keeping our fingers crossed cumber second of december russia wins but it think you have little hopes or hope so. now rush it may be the bookmakers favorites for the twenty eight danger element but any lengths are too far behind a recent fifa corruption probe by a british newspaper is believed to dented the country's bid somewhat but the english delegation are staying optimistic ahead of the juric and it's meant. we know what talk tough is to victory. that we are pursuing we understand all the

options to that are out there in the way things may work outs and we planning accordingly so at this point we're optimistic but we know we've got a lot of wood to do this week and i think there are people who still have to sign up brings us to feel the action we're after all this starts in the pre-game analysis the only figures that moderate after the first classico of the season where five until much to the light of the barcelona faithful the realm of dread the most richly assembled squad all footballers on the planet quite simply shell shocked barcelona getting into their groove early. over i could see ten minutes in after a partially driven through ball andres iniesta one became two at the nou camp just eight minutes later the rio the fence all over the place line pedro with the easiest to finish is after good work from david via on the outside. the second half will bring little rest but for the beleaguered visitors via getting in on the act and self netting supposedly after another typical barcelona build up on pos from

l'oreal terrorizer in chief lionel messi the same per the same result moments later barcelona on cruise control at this point and then they embarrassment was complete right up the death jeff rense war is making five nil the win. to top spot in the perm or early. we are proud to because the world have seen us the way we are going to we like to play that is the most important thing the result is the consequence of the game but the. show i would like to does game. to be. point head to madrid but. it is the worst defeat of my career i have never lost five nil be. for that's a fact but it's a defeat that's easy to digest because it's a defeated where there was no possibility of winning it's not one of those defeats

where it was difficult to accept. i've seen joe say look better than not the oklahoma city thunder see of the best for last the soft new orleans on the n.b.a. hardwood on monday russell westbrook the spark in the final quarter the california native playing the role of go to guy in the open house one of the point guards eleven assists finding james harden for a strong finish twenty two year old westbrook wherever missing ten of his first fifteen shots was a big factor in new orleans having secured a seventy six seventy two lead in the fourth but they turned the ball over here a lot of two. of his game high twenty six points westbrook again setting up that effort twenty ten world champion then found a shooting touch doesn't points on the late fourteen zero run by the thunder meaning new orleans lose for the fourth time in five games as the thunder take it ninety five eighty nine. the star studded miami heat topping this season surprise

disappointment dwayne wade le bron james christe bosch the winners on the night over the wizards the sauce beachside now with ten wins and losses for the year to date the dallas mavericks are cruising right along their sixth consecutive victory coming over their fellow texans in houston milwaukee meanwhile were missing their two big men under drew gooden in a twenty one point loss to the jets. with winter well and truly upon us and europe biathlon off plates are busy warming up for the start of their season. sweden will host the first stage of the sports world cup on wed and stay on the head of the russian biathlon union spoke to us about the rapidly approaching event. the first stage of the world cup has always been a good early test for by phone heavyweight nations china japan and the u.s. who have been training there in sweden for more than two weeks could be the

surprise packages however them not our main rivals for us it will be a good warm up we can and praise how we prepared for the season and see the warka for new coaching stuff we shouldn't expect first prize here we have to understand how a team start out the season and how the athletes recover after the first race ok let's move back to football finally the russian premier league wrapped up this past weekend with already crying champions and it's at last able to bask in the glow of a job well done we've got the images from vats plus the pick of the event full run thirty. thank you. thank. you thank you thank you. q. q.
