indeed it is the growing economies of both countries both russia and india bric countries and the economies are growing at a split and one of the key areas that we've seen agreement signed today over a dozen agreements signed a one of the key areas energy oil and gas and also nuclear power india has a huge demand for energy it's growing at almost nine percent annum and just two point five percent of its energy mix comes from nuclear energy it wants to increase just ten percent and sixty three thousand megawatts of nuclear energy is what it wants to add in the next twenty years and russia is going to be a leading player in this russia is set to provide world class technology in. the u.k. the energy it will also build nuclear power stations for india it's going to be building through in southern india and the agreement signed today will set out the roadmap for building two additional nuclear stations a nuclear power stations in southern india and both leaders are quite clear that

any. important in their relationship. russia is positive about energy cooperation in the future and i told the prime minister today that india is a convenient partner in the energy field it applies not only to nuclear energy where we've achieved a lot in the past few years but also in the extraction of hide your codes. i am particularly. corporation. enconcept it reflects. our. defense ties between both countries is also very strong russia is india's largest weapons supplier and most of india's weapons hardware comes from russia and of course before that from the soviet union the agreement signed today. is the joint development of the fifth generation fighter aircraft this is this is the only

one outside the united states which is in the. sites will be equal partners and in this the development costs will be around ten billion dollars both sides will put in the money russia will develop the propulsion systems india will develop the avionics and the navigation software and the road map will be around two hundred fifty fighter aircraft of this model will be built for the russian air force and two hundred for the indian air force and the total contract will be worth over thirty billion dollars it will be the backbone of air forces for decades to come so really we're seeing this way forward of. merely just buying off the shelf joint development of weaponry we've seen that with the bromo supersonic messiah and now with these with this particular fighter aircraft. russian prime minister vladimir putin has met with the leaders from the country's main football supporter clubs in

the wake of the recent street violence in moscow and st petersburg it follows a number of violent nationalist demonstrations after a spar tac fan was killed earlier this month. over brings us all the details. prime minister putin described the killing of football fan to the present tragedy targeting the entire community of russia's food bowl funds he set we should treat these as an attack against all of you regardless where you leave your fate and you are a nationality he said during his meeting with the representatives of different football clubs in most cases he said he understood it well that emotions sometimes iran high as people supporting different football clubs try to settle scores up to matches but what happened in moscow last week was unacceptable he said and to the great peace he immunity against in a phobia and extremism which had existed in russia was saying true as is beginning to we cannot he also reminded that this is manifesting itself during football matches it's a multi national sport and russia's strength you say isn't that it's

a country consisting of people of different nationalities and that once young people forget about this the country will start simply falling apart it will shut down and will start degenerating he promised that those responsible for the killing of the sparta football fan will and behind bars and steal the cold of football fans to stay independent and to shrug off extremism justice as police would the current situation with russian fans is not that different to problems in other countries and europe in particular both here and their various destructive elements tried to make their way into supporter clubs to trying to bring the clubs under their control and i'm talking about radicals and they don't do it for the sport they don't do it to support fan clubs they do it for their own selfish political reasons as to they want to destabilize the country so that afterwards they can scream that they are the only ones that can save russia it would be a tragedy if we let that happen on monday the investigative committee opened

a criminal case against several officials who released three of the suspects linked to the killing of the reader. if the officials whose names rang son numbers have not been identified are investigated for criminal negligence investigators check whether they had personal interests in freeing the suspects and whether they did it on depression prime ministers said that it was unacceptable that those suspects these suspects were linked to murder case that. that just leaving of law enforcement should have been done without delay poutine and this would have helped prevent street law it's over the weekend in moscow and has sent his group over fought chosen people radical football fans that clashed with migrants and police and it and it out over a thousand people prime minister today acknowledged that the government did not

respond properly to the killing all these parts at football fan and these triggered the disorders. reporting from our teaser catarina groucho a monument to soldiers who gave their lives fighting fascism in world war two has been unveiled in moscow that project was conceived after georgia blew up a war in the country's western city of kutaisi last year prime minister vladimir putin and leaders from the georgian opposition attended the ceremony in the russian capital they both expressed hope that it would be the start of a better relationship between two countries the new monument symbolizes the unity of the people and was chosen in a nationwide vote. the brother of the late polish president killed in a plane crash in the southwest russia has claimed the body buried in krakow does not belong to lech kaczynski the former prime minister says he's not yet decided whether he'll ask for the remains to be zoomed but a polish political expert says although the words of jaroslav kaczynski still carry some weight the shock claims won't hinder moscow warsaw relations. he is the leader

of the political party god knows about when he took twenty five percent of the votes mainly all the made money may need traditional people maybe traditionally with some misgivings course earning russia as a neighbor so it is important about from the point of view of the point bullets you know a lot of the relations it is significant but not important it is very extravagant and even some leading members of the political party were very much surprised by the radical statement they didn't hear before in never before the state that there is the problem. of the body or rather the president. so the fact that he actually said it openly in the press conference was a shock to many and immediately the prosecutor of this. eat the engagement with the possible all the proceedings on the points site have stated very strongly that this

is not the case that this is actually the body that was believe what growth for the better. for earlier war sorry injected the findings of the investigation into a prop plane crash the report concluded that pilot error was among the main causes of the fatal accident that killed ninety six the polish prime minister has called the findings are acceptable and groundless the final crash report is expected to be released in january aviation expert chris he says the russian investigation was thorough and no further international link or his needed. i've looked at this issue since the accident and examined the cockpit voice recording transcripts and so on and i can't fault any of the conclusions that have been leaked by the the russian authorities i don't believe personally that if we bring an international investigating team into the 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 pilots who copilot of the aircraft to make an attempt to land at some airports where there were no conditions at all to land too much for not enough visibility and a lot of pressure being brought on the pilots conspired to cause that accident britain's foreign secretary says that russia any u.k. have each expelled a diplomat from their embassies amid a row over alleged spying william hague said a russian envoy was asked to leave the u.k. two weeks ago after accusations of espionage surfaced he claimed that russia booted out a british official in moscow a week later moscow has yet to comment or his lawyer any reports from london. william hague the foreign secretary wrote a letter to the house of commons explaining what had happened he said that britain

had indeed expelled a diplomat from the russian embassy in london they requested that diplomats expulsion on december the tense after what hague is calling clear evidence of russian intelligence service activities acting against british interests here in london then we are also hearing of course from the other end that there was a tit for tat expulsion from the british embassy in moscow and in response to that expulsion from moscow william hague said that britain rejects any basis for that particular action despite the fact that of course it was only a response to what the foreign office here had done well this of course is a huge embarrassment for the foreign secretary william hague who when he took office as recently as may this year said that he vowed to improve relations with moscow and here in fact went to moscow in november and met with president dmitri medvedev which is quite a rare occurrence for a lower official than the prime minister and then we're going to see the do

a visit by david cameron the prime minister of the u.k. which is supposed to take place early next next year now whether that will affect the timing of that visit is obviously not clear yet we're not sure what the repercussions will be william hague the foreign secretary says that he still wants to have a co-operative and productive relationship with russia within the bounds of this country's laws we saw another tit for tat expulsion in two thousand and seven following the living and professor three diplomats were expelled from each side then as well and that was in protest from the british side a russian refusal to extradite lugovoy to face trial in the u.k. he is of course britain's prime suspect in the murder of alexander litvinenko since then there has been attempts on various sides to push what they're calling the reset button in russia u.k. relations this could have serious implications for that reset button. turning to russia u.s. relations president obama's democrats have won over enough republicans to pass

a landmark nuclear cuts deal with russia at least nine republican senators have openly announced that they support the new strategic arms reduction treaty also known as the start treaty and will vote for its ratification this looks set to happen on wednesday hailed as one of the u.s. administration's main foreign policy achievement start would slash the two countries deployed nuclear arsenals by a third signed by presidents made event of an obama in april it needs to be ratified by lawmakers in both countries it's a race against time for the democrats whose majority in the senate will be reduced in january the russian state duma has been ready to ratify the treaty for months but wants to do so at the same time as washington. u.s. officials have come under fire for alleged shady dealings in procuring jet fuel for the u.s. air base in kurdistan congressional investigators say the u.s. turned a blind eye to an elaborate fraud by a fuel supplier for more on this we discuss it live with. the president of the eurasia democracy initiative who joins us live from new york good to have you with

us so you've been following this congressional investigation can you explain more about what the u.s. officials are being accused of. well what the congressional subcommittee on national security and foreign affairs. dealt with in the report that was released today was allegations of corrupt dealings between the subsidiaries of the pentagon which was supplying fuel. in kyrgyzstan to prosecute the war effort in afghanistan and members of the family of the deposed former president of kyrgyzstan key if among other aspects of this cooperation. was that don's. dealing with this of c.d.'s of gas bomb through which secured large supplies fuel for its war effort while at the same time furnishing the russian side with falsified documents claiming that

the shipments would be used strictly for civil aviation purposes thereby circumventing russia's export restrictions in expert tariffs now kurmanbek bakiyev was ousted as a curious president in april after the country's capital was rocked by bloody riots there there's allegations that his family was linked to fuel supplies for the u.s. man as base is there much evidence to support that what do you think. well well the report uncovered no direct and specific evidence linking. pentagon subsidiaries with the members of family it later the same report stated that. these subsidiaries namely the mino corps and red star back in two thousand and nine attempted to reach out to the former presidents a son not seen but key of who has subsequently followed his father in exile and is now in hiding in the u.k.

to try to. engage in bed or negotiations with the pentagon regarding the future of the big east following kyrgyzstan's announcement that it would shut down the base so what we saw in the casey was once again another proof of the fact that the president's family and his son was calling all the shots in the in the country and were pretty much running the place. and. what what eventually happened was the direct result of this this relationship we saw in april in two thousand and ten when president bush was ousted was the direct result of the popular anger that was stirred by the complete lack of accountability lack of transparency in the deals that pentagon was cutting with. their government so who is currently

supplying the matter as basic with jet fuel now. some of the same old players are still very much involved in the corporation was able to secure another three hundred million dollar contract which. caused displeasure on the part of the carriages officials and their russian backers who are demanding that all players be withdrawn from the new arrangement however. secretary clinton during her recent visit to bishkek was able to sign a new contract with the curate you side with the state owned company. which will buy it will supply with fifty percent of the fuel from one os however some of these concerns remain very very serious and unless they are addressed and addressed transparently we may yet see violence in this landlocked in the small amount in this mountainous and yet very important strategically important country and in

the region at large and finally how important is the air base for the nato war effort in afghanistan while this base is very important as there is really no good alternative to it. considering its geographic proximity or the security of its supplies this is this has been borne out repeatedly by the pentagon's willingness to engage in successive rounds of negotiations over the big east including back in two thousand and nine when it was when it bought into but gives brinksmanship and. persuaded to triple the amount of rent that it was willing to pay for the base. president of the eurasia democracy initiative an expert on human rights in the region thanks for joining us. let's take a look now at some other stories making headlines across the globe freezing temperatures and heavy snow are continuing to cause further massive disruption
