most of these were in new areas because they were they said when they wanted to bring other areas with this tradition is strong. on defense and nuclear but one of the key agreements that has been signed is on expanding the oil and gas sector we've also seen an agreement on a framework agreement signed in expanding the civilian nuclear cooperation as you know russia is building do new nuclear stations in southern india an agreement has now been signed to build another nuclear reactor that india concrete has about two point five percent nuclear energy in its energy mix it wants to increase this to ten percent and it's relying on countries like russia to develop and to bring that technology and will react as ford and russia as expected to build about fifteen to twenty nuclear reactors in india for providing its energy needs in the next decade or so they have also discussed. the systems and navigation system that russia is

developing and india is interested in being a partner with us and using this is the equivalent of the american navigation system g.p.s. both leaders were quite clear on energy being an important part of this week's. russia is positive about energy cooperation in the future i told the prime minister today india is a convenient partner feel it applies not only to nuclear energy we've achieved a lot in the past few years but also extraction by your cool. i. suspect if you flecked. both sides have been talking about cooperating on developing this fifth generation fighter they have now signed the contract the contract is worth about ten billion dollars and

with just building jointly putting in equal amount of money in this jointly building and developing a fifth generation fighter aircraft this is going to provide about two hundred fifty aircraft for the russian air force and about two hundred. and this will be the means of the forces for the next couple of decades this is an important agreement that has been signed and this has been the cornerstone of this particular visit by president. they've. both sides have been quite clear that. while talking about nuclear while talking about economy while talking about defense that they. are actually a source of stability not just for south asia but for the world and also discussed . to end international terrorism. america's unofficial envoy to north korea says his visit provided an opening for pound gang to return to gaia log over its controversial nuclear program earlier bill richardson had said the secretive state

would allow inspectors from the international atomic energy agency to examine their facilities he also praised north korea's pragmatism and not responding to the south recent military exercises near the disputed sea border town gang said it would not retaliate over what is called a provocation despite previous threats on the weekend russia called an emergency meeting of review with thirty council warning that neutrals would activate. but the delegates reach the conclusion analysts say the war games are starving the area of balance on the peninsula this is a fourth direct provocation of the u.s. south korean military exercises in less than a month we're really talking about many many ships in the area fifty to seventy ships hundreds of aircraft tens of thousands of troops operating just a few miles three to seven miles off of north korea's coast many miles north of the

demilitarized zone that in itself is a provocation so here is south korea u.s. and backing support and u.s. participation and the united states moving nuclear powered a nuclear weapon aircraft carriers directly into the region off the coast this these are really dangerous provocations and i think the u.n. security council meeting was an important effort to call on all sides but but nevertheless in the even in the face of that and world calls. south korea and the u.s. went ahead with these military exercises. well still ahead for you this hour here in our team minding their own business this very dark down on position protesters in bell the roof comes under fire over around the world as hundreds are beaten and arrested after the incumbent president claimed another victory. and out of jail but not a free man around have sweden desperately wants to leave those songs extradited

from britain the wiki leaks founder fears he won't be tried fairly bare. but first a monument to the soldiers who gave their lives fighting fascism and world war two was being on failed moscow today the project was conceived after georgia blew up a war memorial in the country's western city of the e.c. last december prime minister vladimir putin and the leaders of the georgian opposition are attending the ceremony in the russian capital we can now go live to our correspondent on a boy is there for us now i understand this monument isn't an exact replica of the one destroyed in georgia is about sama. yeah absolutely and he said you're right the initial idea was to create an exact copy of the demolished mourning meant but it was later discovered that most of the blueprints and miniatures were lost and the also or this culture of that monument in it was too old and too frail to redesign it from scratch on the top of dad being demolished me morelli was the sole

really good it was forty six metres in height that even it was recreated in the exact shape and form it may have interfered with other really more me more details that we see here at the garage the morial complex here in moscow so eventually it was decided to build a new moral that would incorporate some of the elements of the old one and that's exactly what was done what we saw here i'm very today in moscow is a composition of it to roll. all of the soviet soldiers in this. those soldiers forms a flag over the soviets like over there a stock which was probably the most poignant moment from the world war two for the soviet citizens and behind those soldiers you can see a wall a marble wall that reminds us all the. more real now it's interesting to point

to point out that many analysts here in moscow have already done these community moral complex as a sort of morning all prosecuted rolled soldiers in the reference to a tram that we can see in some former soviet republics to demolish or provide poor maintenance for the border will to memorial something that russia is very angered by. previously the source similar incident back in two thousand and seven in this story and one local authorities also tried to really. mean more a more remote location than the sort of incidents all always cause a very strong reaction here in russia and the same happened a year ago in the one because they see more of will soon afterwards it was largely a fortune to prime minister of russia who suggested they rebuilding the more moral here in moscow what about georgians what are you hearing about how they have

reacted to this memorial being arrested here in moscow. we have already seen a statement issued by the foreign ministry of georgia saying that it was of course russia right to put whatever morning means it wants or average ones on its own territory but the georgian foreign minister suggested that the stances and the problem surrounding the ceremony was a provocative character now i also have to point out that lodging near putin who was present at the unveiling ceremony today sad that dad demolished. he was. essentially an act of state vandalism he also said that it was a brazen show of disrespect for more than two hundred thousand georgian man and women who perished during their world war two and he reiterated the same sort of attitude the same sort of statement today here's exactly what he said at. least you

know this is a memorial to the immortal heroism of the people and also the symbol of the strong resolve to protect the truth about the heroes of the war protected from cynicism barbarism and line is we stand together against nationalism xenophobia extremism however appealing they may be made to look a year ago almost all t.v. channels showed pictures. in the city of being blown up a shameful example of state. now the demolition of the cooties the memorial was condemned by numerous georgian groups veteran groups opposition figures and many of them were present at the ceremony in moscow some of them have even contributed the made it possible for these new memorial to be built actually it was paid for exclusively by donations and we know that georgian diaspora reaches a very big here in russia contributed a great deal to making sure that this memorial is revealed here in moscow right at

some avoid the reporting live from moscow where that new memorial to those who lost their lives in world war two has been unveiled after being destroyed in georgia thanks. there's been widespread international criticism of a violent police crackdown on opposition protests and bell roofs following sunday's presidential election many protesters were beaten and more than six hundred arrested including several candidates incumbent leader alexander lukashenko won a fourth term with almost eighty percent of the vote party's cut in the result of a reports from the capital mints. this is a. ruse the new start to meet. the kind of thing the president hunts currency. privately. but. the people may have deserved better but what they got instead was more of the same. public good it's from the bottom of my heart i would like to

tank my supporters and congratulate them on our victory but be of the. so you pretty ricky and as for my opponents i have to inform you on the saddest of all cajuns for you that you will now have to deal with the acting president for at least another five years. and this thanks opposition supporters journalists and a number of foreign investors all came to a thousand strong demonstration outside the government building in the center of the capital minutes. despite calls to keep the protest peaceful some started storming the building smashing windows and breaking down doors right police reacted immediately the result over six hundred people detained dozens including artie's camera crew injured it with police but tom's at least six of the nine presidential candidates have also been arrested many of them seem more

disappearing without trace you know below thirty i was with my husband in the hospital when syrian men entered the room they held me down i was trying to free myself i was screaming but no one came to help their people the bottom of the bed he couldn't walk so their reaction in the blanket direction although they're looking inside. e.u. and u.s. officials have already condemned the violence but as with the observers president aleksander will question because simply told everyone to mind their own business but we are doing just comes the o.s.c. forgets that it came to observe the election not talk controllers when it comes to gossip it's not for them to evaluate. europe's last dictator as he has been dubbed in some western media did receive some praise from observers they've all agreed this election was much more democratic than the previous one in two thousand and six the relative freedoms given to opposition candidates in the run up to election

day was marked as a positive sign the e.u. promised billions of euros if there are signs of free and fair elections whether look i shan't will be able to collect some cash from the e.u. while enjoying a fourth consecutive term in office is the question many are asking alex on the real question go promised his people political changes but no change in power he's already made good on one half of that promise but here on the once again quiet streets of the capital minsk not many believe the political changes are happening any time soon. catherine as our r.t. minsk. moscow has war lawmakers in washington that any change to a new nuclear arms reduction deal could destroy the pact foreign minister sergei lavrov said that for russia the start treaty is not for renegotiation meanwhile the u.s. senate rejected all amendments from republicans seeking to delay the ratification until january when they hold the majority in congress the democrats hope the treaty

will have enough support required for passage the us president urged the senate to ratify the document this week to scribing the start treaty as a national priority the deal would see nuclear arsenals last fall. when the leaks founder julian assange may be out of jail but his legal battle on sexual assault charges is still ongoing so he didn't insist on his extradition from the u.k. however a softer sword no proper justice awaits him there more and is following the case and london. in sweden it's not many people who say today that the suspect set up it's a case of. you know not being the best of men until rape charges were leveled at julian i saw as the founder of wiki leaks the state of sweden's justice system might not have been something that kept you awake at night but now sweden is requesting a song his extradition from the u.k.

the having unprotected sex with two women they call it rape. the charges being dubbed sex by surprise as songs allegedly refused to wear a condom and it's a crime unique to sweden here in the u.k. people say it would be funny if it wasn't so serious this just seems ridiculous to me and it's actually diminished the whole issue of of rape and i regret that and it's such a shame it's been an injustice to not unusual in the sand but women and to feminists and victims of rape even in sweden the original prosecution through the allegations out on lack of marriage then began the release of a quarter of a million u.s. diplomatic cables revealing and humiliating for the u.s. government all of a sudden sweden's director of public prosecutions decided the rate claims were

valid and sweden swallowed it whole including some of its most outspoken commentators it's clear. as not a person who should be jailed for journalism if he has committed a sexual sexual offense then that's a separate issue from wiki leaks i do not think this is politically motivated at least. as songs himself is calling this a political witch hunt and he's not the only one outside sweden who's drawing that conclusion maybe in the near future will come. across some leaked documents showing how the us put pressure on sweden in great britain to secure the arrest of julian assange as it's very unusual for a man to be accused of having consensual sex but not necessarily using a condom that suddenly find himself on the same list interpol lists alongside senior mexican drug lord i don't think this case being brought at all julian

assange offered to meet the swedish prosecutor here he offered to meet the swedish prosecutor over there he left with the permission of the swedish prosecutor. there's been no suggestion that he didn't want to cooperate so why are we going through all this why why did julian assange joined up in the punishment block good ones with prison questions that the swedish media doesn't seem prepared to ask london's high court was the scene of loud protests by ourselves just appalled says during his bail hearing and they're likely to show up again when he reappears to fight extradition in january but if he is sent to sweden he's unlikely to get anything like the level of support in a country which appears to be ready to condemn him as a rapists without questioning any of the possible political motivations behind the claim you are and it's our duty not to. more on wiki leaks along with news and analysis is always available on our website our team dot com here's just

made public obviously expert chris gates says the russian investigation was storrow and that no further international inquiry. i looked this issue since the accident and examined the cockpit voice recording transcript and so on and i can't fault any of the conclusions that have been leaked by the russian authorities i don't believe personally that if we bring an international investigating team into be equation that the findings will be any different to what they are which seems to be the pressure was brought to bear in some way shape or form on the part of some copilot. to make an attempt to learn and at some airports where there were no conditions at all too low and too much focus not enough visibility and

a lot of pressure being brought on the pilots conspired to cause that accident well you're up to date now from the news desk and you will be here sort lee with the latest business after this short break. hungry for the full story we've got. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. in which bright. sun from the student. council team don't come.

to business platinum has been one of the stars of twenty ten delivering a fifteen percent return for investors desirable as jewelry useful in industry and seen as a hedge against currency fluctuations many factors have driven the price forward joining me now to discuss the outlook for the precious metal is mendoza ludwell senior trader at capital in london platinums performed very well in twenty ten what's your view for twenty eleven. platinum going it's twenty eleven there hasn't been a star performer gold which had a fantastic run and silver as well but going into twenty eleven i see a push to the upside others see getting up to the all time highs twenty four hundred dollars but around about two thousand dollars in some point next year now where is the demand going to come from well certainly the car industry which is a big use of platinum for four catalytic converters that seems to be recovering

from the lows that we see in the last couple of years and certainly from from china as well which has a lot of most of industry industry which is growing that's where the bulk of the demand is going to come from and also from the r.t. industry where platinum is you. in hard disk drives as that starts to recover we could see that the top of the increase the outside the price increase and with certain supply side precious on the down side we could see a squeeze so you talking about industrial use is the price of course also being driven by like gold is a repulsive true value. well i don't think so because hasn't really been seen as a as a store of value hasn't been seen as a safe haven asset and that is probably why one platinum hasn't performed as well as the likes of gold and therefore seeing less volatility in the demand for platinum. as a futures contract in the derivatives markets it trades on average around six thousand contracts

a day whereas gold trades in excess of one hundred thousand so it's not really a speculative metal will tell us what would be the best way to invest in platinum if someone wanted to do that. well there is the main way which is the metal buying the physical metal through billions desk or billions data but then companies such as well. in the form of a contract for difference whereby a client can trade in smaller amounts and have exposure to the metal or in exchange traded funds which are becoming more and more popular these days all through platinum trading companies companies are mine platinum would obviously have exposure to the underlying price they tend to be quite volatile so while spreading your your assets accordingly. just discovered a four hundred ton platinum field worth twenty seven billion dollars how do you assess the growth potential of the industry in russia. well it's. fantastic on the back of this fuel being discovered in the cola peninsula but the russian industry

has been doing at least in recent years this could spur forward but it does have some catching up to do with regards to south africa which has around about eighty percent of the market russia has fifteen percent of the market go forward and china is also making investment in south africa as well so it may look to get the bulk of its supply from south africa as opposed to russia going forward just a quick word on gold price prediction for growth next end of next year. thank you very much. european shares again for the second day in a row. group has driven. the group. from hold.
