historically that's how russian president putin characterized. russia and both leaders pledged to. a twenty five year old. with. a perfect style. story and the prices media is in ecstasy. also the tensions run high as south korea the u.s. and japan hold military drills in the yellow sea wall seeking to exclude from peace talks. live from our studios here in central moscow this is a twenty four hours a day so

a breakthrough in russian polish relations that's how many including the polish leader are hailing president may vary his visit to warsaw as the neighbors work to overcome past divides shared concern about the future of european security is one thing that's bringing them closer together all these countries are of a is following the meeting in the polish capital. many aspects in the relations between russia and poland were a dark chapter for the thais but according to a polish president. that is a thing of the past. mystic that's we can leave the tragic pages of our shared history behind it's the beginning of a new chapter in the book of russian polish relations a better chapter of course that tragic chapter marred relations between moscow and warsaw for decades when in one thousand early one nine hundred forty s. twenty thousand polish officers were executed by the soviet secret police they

uncovered and for decades the soviet union denied any responsibility in the matter blaming instead nazi forces for the executions only decades later did russia knowledge of responsibility for those executions and offered its apologies to the polish nation finally that page was just beginning to be turned over and left in the past when a new tragedy occurred the then polish president his wife and a huge polish delegation were all on their way to pay their respects to the executed polish officers when their plane crashed just outside the russian city of so of course for the polish nation that thing is not a historical tragedy it is also a very recent one and it's still of course a very painful part of this recent history but the joint investigation that has been going on that is still ongoing in fact has brought the two sides closer. to president komorowski. the russian adopted after this year's tragic plane crash

near smolensk for more cooperation on the work that followed the catastrophe we will continue our work and finish the results will be available to anyone who is interested in russians first and foremost. energy cooperation is of course a huge part of relations between the two states and that is said only to increase it. something that unites the two states. according to russia wants to get europe hooked on its energy then used to its political advantage we consider this to be utter nonsense we are developing good usually beneficial relations in the energy field with old european countries including states that are connected with russia via pipelines but with the recent restart in ties between moscow and washington and a certain improvement in relations between russia and nato it does seem that this is yet again a thing of the past and russia and poland are very comfortable discussing a joint anti-missile defense plan that was mentioned by the russian president just

a few weeks ago in. portugal during a nato summit the russian made. russian president has some things scheduled for his time tomorrow but as it seems to hear poland the talks today do signify a new level of relations between moscow and war so the both sides seem very keen on keeping their. location has historically been a curse for us but it could become a blessing if we look to russia as a crucial partner this of course a very new turn in directions of russia poland relations but a very welcome one as signified by both the russian president and his polish counterpart. from the center for european policy studies says russia. an extremely broad range of areas for cooperation. it is what is going to be about

economy yes it is going to be about energy and yes it's going to be about security yes it's going to be about history yes it's going to be bad politics all those elements are dead there's really a big big basket of issues to be covered between in between russia and poland it's not only those two long years dead those relations didn't take off but. those are very close partners and there's lots of businesses out there it takes a generation at least a change to change a long grew to historical differences and it was what it's a couple months and since moments credit card today which was the big catalyst it's been a year and a few months since the apologies investor plot by prime minister putin so there is this is only first months of this process that has started and hopefully will lead to reconciliation between the poles and the russians. live from moscow this is

twenty four hours a day more ahead for you this hour including newly released c.c.t.v. footage of a passenger plane crash landing the in moscow is being scrutinized for the cause of the incident which killed. and injured eight. teammates the star twins of russia's world cup bid presentation to helping the country win the race then else sizing up the chances of getting on the pitch twenty eight. stories to become a first japan south korea and the u.s. have held top level talks in washington on the tensions around the korean peninsula tokyo proposed excluding north korea from any further peace negotiations the talks come as south korea launches naval exercises in the yellow sea despite warnings from the north korean threat and catastrophic consequences if the drill want to head accusing soul of waging war tensions in the region the week you talk to the two neighbors exchange late last month well brumback executive director of the.

coalition believes that the korean crisis could lead to a devastating war. i think there's only one way to understand these current war games which is to provoke to escalate the u.s. is climbing the escalation ladder they're putting a gun to the head of the chinese the allies of the d.p. r. k. and of course to the government of north korea the countries in that part of the world are very used to imperial gunboat diplomacy they understand it as such of course the u.s. is now by virtue of bringing the u.s. aircraft carrier george washington directly into china's territorial waters while conducting these three way talks with south korea and japan that brings the peninsula to the brink of war and i think that we have to say it for what it is the u.s. government the obama administration the u.s. military is playing with fire right now the united states knows that north korea

really. he wants a peace treaty they want normalization of relations they want an end to economic sanctions they don't want another war that would be devastating for north korea so i think all of this is creating a bogeyman as the u.s. has done in other situations like with saddam hussein prior to the iraq invasion in two thousand and three the united states has excluded china and russia the other partners in the as well as north korea part of the six party talks so instead of continuing with the six party negotiations that have the promise of some sort of settlement on the korean peninsula something that would reduce tensions something that would come to a resolution united states has opted to unify its position with the south korean and japanese military excluding russia and china and thus upping the ante in terms of the crisis they're pressuring china they're pressuring russia they're moving in a unilateral direction right now with these three way talks brumback talking to learn so could it be the next out of chapman a young russian woman working as

a parliamentary aide to a british m.p. has been arrested on suspicion of espionage and is facing deportation because he has got to leave it as boss betrayed by the british press as a womanizer insists his glamorous young helper is innocent and it has more. this has moved very quickly away from the political arena and back into the sort of fluffy details that the media loves to report so much and focusing on these details like a bond movie or a john le carre novel they're talking about how. to leave it when round in shorts and in high heels other media are calling her a russian ball detonated in the british parliament they're also talking about mike hang called he's an m.p. in the south of england all skin questions about a new clear all signals and those sorts of questions are often submitted to the government by assistants like cats and so there's some worry about whether she has knowledge of britain's nuclear secrets the media have been talking to other people

who worked with her in parliament who say that her nickname was maad candle it seems that she liked to sit in her office and light scented candles while she was preparing parliamentary reports and briefings of course kasey is out to leave yet there is a perfect hero for this story if you like she's a leggy beautiful russian and she's really the anna chapman of this saga and it's very convenient for the british media to have this sort of post to go for any spy scandal that comes out like this let me just show you a couple of the front pages here in england today this is the daily express with a picture of catcher at the bottom the. honey trap. he. has been given whether he had before or not has been now given a reputation for being somewhat of a womanizer the guardian goes for the very. title with a picture of catcher on the front the headline the m.p.

his russian aids and questions. the ukase nuclear missile to terror and now as far as what's going to happen to her now we know that she's in detention and we understand that her deportation has already been agreed by the home office. and the home secretary mike hancock. while employee is very adamant that he says she's going to appeal against the decision he points out that she was already picked up for questioning back in august at which point she could have left the country with no further consequences but she chose not to because he says she felt that she did nothing wrong so he's come out vigorously in defense of her if confirmed however this would be the first case of a russian spy working in parliament to be expelled from this country since the end of the cold war. in london and will stand on the no because the head of media and technology for the guardian newspaper joins me from the capital there and good to see

a lot to thank you for joining us now this scandal is almost like something from a hollywood spy thriller russian beauty nuclear submarines and talk about a honey trap do you think it's all just media hype or or do you think the story should actually be taken seriously. cool story should be taken seriously but it's also media hype too it's the kind of story though he that we love in britain it sort of raises it brings back memories of the cold war it brings back memories of a sort of a simpler time if you like one of the way it was the west against the east you know brings back time memories of intrigue. and all sorts of excitement so we love the story is it a serious story look it's a quite serious story spying is a quite serious matter not a question of spying or serious matter did this woman get access to really sort of high grade information well hang on she was working for a backbench m.p.'s a distant member of the government yes he had some military interests in this constituency and yes he was asking questions of parliament or frankly anyone could

really anyone can ask questions in parliament in the says they can get an m.p. to ask them in any absolute anybody can read the answers so i'm not sure she'd go only great high great information but it's a great story because it. will ever go well as the saying the british press absolutely loving it your loving it there in the u.k. media but the question is the the young woman under arrest she said that she's going to fight deportation and she will win if there is justice but in effect we've already got a trial by media and we so she really isn't have a chance of any justice not of. i think that's a little bit unfair in the sense that you know i'm sure we can sort of hear the case on its merits. the british media is is very lively it's very partisan it's going to take a view on on cases like this it's going to report very heavily around them it's perfectly possible to have a sort of a fair trial or a fair herring in that context i think nevertheless the reality is look if the covenant thinks has a reasonable grounds for deposing this woman then there probably are a small grounds for divorce ago that you were talking

a bit earlier about relishing all this cold war era and in fact talking about stereotypical view of russians and yet of course the cold war is over now but why do you think this attitude this view of russians still persists particular in the in the british media research phobia the fear of russia has not gone away and i think if you're anyone over maybe the age of thirty five in the u.k. you are brought up with that sort of cold war experience russia is not a country even now that you understand it's not a country you feel comfortable it's not a country you feel you have an instinctive relationship with you don't watch russian movies in the way you watch hollywood movies the relationship russia short is very different it just doesn't take much to bring back that kind of fear of russia and the old sense of conflict but is this what this story plaister but isn't going to change we're seeing obviously in the future more and more visitors coming to russia whether it's for the football whether it's going to be for the world. whether it's going to be for the olympic games the winter olympic games or indeed

formula one so in a way the country's becoming more and more accessible do you think those stereotypes will then gradually disappear. yeah gradually but only gradually i think also he also though let's set that to one side for a second to look at some of the other issues about russia russia is seen as sort of you know it's powerful militarily powerful financially economically powerful now hard to understand for us westerners ok so relative rummer abramovich made by a known chelsea football club but the way in which it works is not transparent immediately to people on the ground in britain but also this is a russia that flex its muscles in all sorts of ways for example in energy policy with gas and oil supplies and so on and so forth this is a country that does not work in the way that sort of britain does or in the way that britain understands and it's a country that you know britain's i think a store reserved about even slightly cautious about and also the fact i'll just mention the world cup earlier do you think there's a lot of resentment within britain against russia now the fact that it won the

world cup and that has an i suppose exactly help relations either. you know i think that's less important i think this in so far so it's resentment it's more direction around the fact that it's directed at fifi it's directed the bidding process and i think the real decision dissatisfaction is really our failure as as britain's to really put an effective bid that kind of read the politics of the for very well we did that very poorly we did what we do very well in britain really which was we came out what we thought was a great technical period we were very focused on fair play and we tried to sort of your win the argument on its merits i think what we did very poorly was refer to the politics russia clearly read the politics a lot better you know good luck to russia i don't think there's any resentment of the fact that russia won i think what there is is real resentment directed a fee for in the not very transparent way the fifth works i think that's a little bit different to the to the spying story was saying just briefly what about do you think relations between london and moscow bearing in mind they've been

pretty under strain particular the last government what do you do you think that something like this can actually perhaps the rail to what looks to be improving relations between the two no i don't think it will i think this. this young woman is a visor to a relatively minor member of parliament it's a great story and it did she get the access to the high grade information that would really cause a rift between britain and russia no she didn't. there will clearly be i think a little more suspicion between britain and russia but not a profound split frankly there is suspicion anyway but that is really interesting to hear what you have to say marry him out of course you talk about russophobia but the fact that two british citizens talking on russian television at this very moment says quite a lot doesn't it so thanks very much indeed down south i had a major in technology for the guardian newspaper joining us here on r.t. thank you you thank. c.c.t.v. footage has been revealed of a dramatic crash landing of

a passenger plane in moscow investigators are examining the images for clues on the reasons behind saturday's accident the dagestan airlines plane suffered engine failure shortly after taking off from the russian capital two died more than eighty were injured when the tuple of one five four crash landed skidded off the runway and broke up. say passengers jumped from the wreckage fearing the plane could explode estimates of looking at causes ranging from human error to frozen fuel and bad weather. well now let's have a look at other news making stories around the world at this stage of the day at least fifty people have been killed and more than one hundred injured in a suicide attack in a government compound in northwestern pakistan two men blew themselves up as community leaders of a tribal region near the afghan border were discussing the creation of an taliban militia police tribal elders and officials are among the dead. police in greece are

a look at the main news stories in eight minutes from now in the meantime russian president dmitri medvedev is interviewed by polish journalist about relations between the two countries and between east and west that's our interview next. mr president very glad to see you with the relations between russia and poland can be best characterized by the fact that this is already the second bilateral russian

polish visit lately what do you think about the quality of the relations between our countries as of today and why did was take the decision to press this relations improving reset both. let's. you know we would have had to take this decision earlier or later as it has been stressed more than once various writings in media as well as a political level all relations have their own rather complicated history that binds on two peoples this history has both bright pages and pages of pain and distress but now it is essential that we little behind this longstanding right historical paradigm of the developments that russian wireless relations and try to separate history which have an eight day from today's life we need to pave the way for the future while preserving of course all the best that has bound countries all peoples and searching to give an adequate evaluation to the most severe moments of

this history. one potential danger mr president i think that the point you've mentioned the one about our not remaining captives of history either in russia or poland is a very important statement on the part of russia but your statement on the issue of a stolen era coins was well received in poland as well as the last statement on the cult in crime by the state duma however due to the level of mistrust that has been growing the millions of poles themselves whether the changes that we are facing now other strategic the permanent ones or whether these are only tactical just levels of arsenic is a. so the president of egypt of the most high thing was me if we want the changes to come we do it not only for the polish people but also for the russian citizens this is a two way road that it is up to us and in fact it should be a strategic choice and not a tactical decision aimed at achieving some the goals of the you know what i

consider to be the problem in polish russian relations and has some aspects of relations of our country with others the whole set of historical problems and tragedies it's one of them a really terrible tragedy is the catton tragedy because i think that our time in the russian federation is to tell the truth about it and with the state duma adopted a statement on this issue very important statement it's absolutely o.-v. a soup committed this crime and why when sullivan and his henchmen are responsible for this crime i have relevant documents from the so-called top secret folder these documents can be found on the internet and are available to the public with all the resolution they attempts to call these documents into question and to say when they had been falsified a nonsense. mr president of the west and the east deemed the lisbon summit in which you participated was a crucial turning point in relations between russia and nato as well as between

russia and the west do you consider as a milestone meeting or do you believe that in the long run it might turn out to be not quite so good for those still national cause it is all in our own hands this summit can be historic and so it actually was in the spirit and especially given the situation we were facing two years ago that i would get it can turn out to be a meeting that did not live up to the expectations i would like to recall the developments of two thousand and eight the previous u.s. administration suggested a well known idea that is deploying missile defense interceptors embrace dolls' image poland and the czech republic which was debated issue up in our country this idea was perceived as an. aned weakening military capabilities of the russian federation we've brought opposition to the attention of nato entities at some point the situation became serious serious that i had taken on pleasant decision to deploy additional missiles consequently the new administration abandoned its decision which was the right thing to do. the idea of an a.b.m.

system has been preserved the muscle that was proposed to us to consider the place of the russian federation occupies the european a.b.m. system which is being created on the basis of nato capabilities of primarily those of the united states of america and i told president obama right ok we're ready but we want such a project to be equal so that we can understand the place of the russian federation at the threats that are george he addressed the true nature of these threats the responsibility that we have you know i'm going to say something which i hope will not offend our friends and my u.s. counterparts i told president obama frankly that the foundation we were building would be of great importance for the situation that all of us would face on ten years when the full stage missile defense system would have been funny set up by twenty or twenty one and not for me and for him as politicians for the more justice will be either a joint russia nato initiative but that will shield us from somewhere right so in

case russia fails to find its place in the system by twenty twenty the situation can develop in such a way that the corresponding missile defense i'm brenna will be considered to be an element destabilising the nuclear equilibrium and weakening russia's capabilities of ensuring nuclear parity as long as nuclear weapons exist you the second course of events might cause by twenty twenty another cycle of an arms race and we would really like this this is why after lisbon summit i voiced the idea of sex the responsibility of states within missile defense in europe and i expect my partners the usa as well as other partners for nato to study thoroughly the idea of the russian federation which of you can get us because we're going to do this thank you very much indeed mr president and i think it is well for on screen some of the questions and finding the time to meet with us at the present single thank you.

culture is that so much time in which of course you might find it complicated if we keep our eye on what is now called cable gate or red face gate as many as the benefits from disclosure of classified government doctors. hungry for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers on the t.v. . in india in the movie joyce the hotels the i love you lots the gateway hotel the grand imperial trying to talk west coast coromandel new kind of let's go to.
