america you then have to include the proviso the seven hundred billion dollars was just the balance spending cost you have to actually double it if you were going to count the real costs of the military. just now turning a quarter of a quarter past the hour here in the russian capital this is r.t. now the balkans today are synonymous with struggle and deficient spurred on by the devastating conflicts of the one nine hundred ninety s. for many the future is even less certain with a feeling of being pushed towards integration as artie's alice habit reports said speaking met by a wave of hugo nostalgia as many say they hanker for the stability and prosperity the came under the leadership of marshall tito. everyone in stumpy a new slow down his cafe is a popular watering hole for locals and tourists alike keen for

a bit arty in macedonia and central. the u.s. is refusing to help poland with investigating claims of a secret cia prison which allegedly operated in that country between two thousand and three and two thousand and five warsaw prosecutors have spent the past two years looking into the supposed hidden facilities washington's refusal to help was reported by a polish news agency just days after a palestinian terrorist suspect claimed that he was secretly shipped to the country and tortured in one of the prisons or mean that he was a coordinator of the helsinki human rights courts cia observation program that if evidence turns up during poland's investigation america's support would then be unnecessary we believe that their refusal of america. there's no definitely me. now poland is not going to persecute investigation in poland it will not lead to explanation of this issue all the balance of material gathered by the prosecutor

which may include serious proofs and evidences what is also important is that there have been lately interventions into the investigation. by the un on the streets of prisoners claiming to be former prisoners of secret cia prisons in poland which might be serious similar. investigation and the explanation of the case. just now turning twenty minutes past the hour here in the russian capital this is r.t. let's now take a quick look at some other world headlines now the former president of israel stuff has been convicted of two counts of rape and one charge of sexual harassment becomes more than four years after the first complaints of serious sexual offenses from his employees the allegations relate to his terms as tourism minister in the one nine hundred ninety s. and as president. resigned from the largely ceremonial post in two thousand and

a fierce u.s. critic. well time now to see a bit more with our close up series as we head off on the siberian expedition. route. and this time or in the southwest an obscure region which was once the capital of siberia today we focus on his sporting prowess now the people of arms can know how to make the most of the ice they're very proud of that we're now in professional hockey team up on guard but as tom bottom explains it's not the only example of siberia strong i. and almost goes wild the local hockey team album guard puts another goal in the net they may look like other teams from around rush or in the world but they know their special i saw you i know your stuff was in my list and since we were little we've practiced

outside in the cold weather so we're used to hot conditions it's room i know america so we're the toughest players. and it's not just seasoned on school players enthusiasm for the test of courage and strength comes young. and. i like the way they play hockey the pillow fights the strikes and the opportunity to become the still guys. ice hockey isn't the only have kilian and dev attracting attention here how about the why don't know towing a minibus. those boys even save bierria in winter with sleepy road so it's pretty hard to. pulling many buses is the only way these whitely have to show their strength they can also find many other ways to flex some siberian muscle. he was in a local gym the team lifts bends and pulls anything they can lay their hands on the competitions across russia they also put on public shows to entertain the crowds

but earn some extra money for your budget but day in day out it's about heaving that little bit of moon that i had to separate the same it's different i just like it that's all i like wrestling against these pieces of equipment i like to achieve high results. good luck to. the team only formed a few years ago so they haven't won a major titles yet but again the siberian spirit infuses them really have a strong sense of its special quality sure that it could possibly come to nothing historically people from siberia have been very strong and made great soldiers i think they greatly contributed to our victory in world war two conditions here make people learn how to survive because he thinks they might strong indeed in fact you could hardly describe these lot as being in survival mode. if it looks lift a bow or movable these guys will try and muscle it's around need

a tire moving. need some joined weights lifting. or perhaps even me. it's not a problem for the men with the muscles tom watson r.t. . artois the latest and greatest from the world of high tech in technology update that's coming your way later this hour but first the business news with your dad. this is mara region is economically and socially one of russia's better developed provinces the region has a significant scientific and industrial capacity but will realize its full potential after the construction of the. park can tell ya he has completed the id parker has r. and d. projects in the spheres of automotive construction aerospace and oil chemistry high

tech datacenter ferber's with cutting edge servers and communication equipment will be constructed at the core of the park the project has been personally approved by prime minister vladimir putin the federal government is planning to allocate sizable funding for the parks construction investors will be given benefits such as property tax exemption low land rental prices and other preferences this him our region government is open to mutually beneficial cooperation we invite investors to participate in existing projects and we are ready to give a hand of fulfilling your projects and growing your business in this small region. hello you're watching our business very well welcome russia's prime minister is confident there will be no gas was between state owned gal's monopoly and its counterparts the energy giant expects demand for gas to increase next year with the

market price to stay at this year's highs. because. we don't expect the demand for gas to fall next year on the contrary we think it will increase as for the gas contracts the price of gas problem contracts is defined by a formula connected to the price of oil products regarding the spot price the excess supply we saw recently is now fading we think that next year the spot price of gas will be quite high. utility and construction sector will be most interesting for investors on the russian stock market next year and that's according to a casa from capital. those are sectors which which what might see some protestation so there. isn't one of the interesting stories. obviously the utility sector is continuing its restructuring process with the tariffs already being asked for next year and the position of all the four grids but also for

suppliers that's also a very positive development in terms of moving to market prices so i think utilities. despite the positive for most here and obviously sectors that want to be of interest are construction and metals. gold is expected to continue its rally in twenty eleven and certainty of the global financial system save have an allure as you know but of course. two thousand dollars per round by them to have two thousand and eleven is the most optimistic target on the market might sound two hundred price to many gold has risen every year for the last decade in two thousand and twelve records delivering a third to process through time for investors that really has been driven by and certainly the markets.
