their own st petersburg was the opening day of the international economic forum gets underway we'll bring you more on the four and a full business wasn't there around twenty minutes. very good morning not am here in moscow our marina joshing you're watching r t welcome to the program good neighbor it's valuable partners to have the world's biggest and fastest emerging economies are meeting in moscow russia and china share a wide range of common interest with moscow becoming increasingly important supplier of a energy fueling growth across its eastern border. is following developments for us here in moscow and tell us more because we know we know that russian chinese relations seem to be strong enough but what is the room for improvement.

there most definitely is maria's are supporting two representatives of both the russian side and the chinese delegation headed by the chinese leader who's in tow was of course in moscow for talks with the russian president we know that both sides say there's still a lot of room for improvement within their bilateral relationship of course russia and china are each other's biggest neighbors and both sides certainly have a lot to gain from a beneficial relationship with their neighbor rochelle force is one of the world's largest jobs for sources of natural resources such as oil and gas and we do know that there are ongoing talks between gas problem and the chinese national gas company for gas supplies and also a gas pipeline that will be starting in west siberia and heading all the way to china we know that according to the gas pumps you know like c bel-air the agreement for gas supplies to china was supposed to be signed sometime in two thousand and

eleven and we know that today during. the chinese leaders visit a gas called the fish oils will be present and of course those discussions will be taking place we also know that china of course is a very lucrative market for russia not only for its natural resources but for various other things and right now all of the trade turnover the bilateral trade turnover with china is one of the biggest that russia currently has so a very strong partnership that has the potential to grow even stronger and that is definitely something that both woods intel and timothy mcveigh a difference will be looking to achieve during this meeting. called the two leaders also met yesterday at the summit of central asian states where the question of libya and syria was raised so is there an understanding on this issue there. most people do seem to think that the questions of both syria and libya will definitely be raised. during the chinese leaders time here in moscow we know that

in the meeting up as c.e.o. countries where the two leaders met in. previously a disagreement of some sort was reached and both sides do seem to share the position that a military presence or a military intervention is definitely not the correct solution and will not bring peace to libya and the diplomatic ways to resolve the conflict should be sought after and prefer it should be preferred over any kind of military presence in that area of course we do know that both sides do seem to agree on that position in regards to only with libya but also with syria that both sides are gates any sort of potential intervention or even potential u.n. sanctions and that is something that is most likely going to be reiterated once again that shared position here in moscow. right here in things for much of you for

bringing us the latest on the russian chinese relations there in light of the chinese leaders a visit here to moscow. now the fate of libya's leader and a political way out of the civil war will be at stake during talks in truth with as russia's and we will meet colonel gadhafi loyalists gallops visit to try and broker a cease fire comes as the latest nato airstrikes target an area close to cut off his compound are. reports. the visit to tripoli is part of russia's peace mediator a mission in the protracted libyan conflict moscow has been insisting all the time but a nonviolent negotiation is the only way out of the crisis russia has repeatedly criticized nato for starting a military operation here and has never supported a u.n. security council resolution which authorized intervention russian special presidential envoy mikhail margelov was sent here to try to get everybody around the table that's actually very hard to achieve the rubble supported by nature

allies wants to force gadhafi out while the colonel himself says that he will fight to the death i mean what recently have been several signs indicating that a compromise is possible last week macomer gallup met with the opposition leaders in the libyan rebel stronghold of benghazi and talked to his cousin in cairo and serve both sides have a mutual understanding that a protracted war is not an option and the crisis should be resolved through peaceful means he also cited but he had a feeling that the rebels are almost ready for a dialogue with gadhafi the people in tripoli we have been able to speak to you are welcome in russia's afros they are extremely exhausted after months of war which has taken many many lives and has almost completely destroyed the country's infrastructure due to a shortage of fuel gasoline lines stretch for kilometers and kilometers people have

to spend hours even days lining up to fill up their cars and it's tyree more overnight it continues to strike tripoli and we can hear bombardments mess of book gardens almost every night and that scares them as well well people are getting more and more angry and all they want is to get their normal lives back frustration is high among the rebels as well as they feel as though nature. he's taken control over what's bad is a national uprising it's too early to say whether russia will be able to bring peace and stability to leave it but what's clear among people on the ground is that it's definitely worth trying to prevent arsenal reporting there and still have for you this hour a question of justice as alleged russian government viktor abroad faces a new round of us court battle we put there with reality of the whole case under scrutiny. and find out how nationalities cast aside by explorers surviving in the

freezing waters of the world's coolest continent. the u.s. will now have to readjust its missile defense plan for you were after the czech republic announces dropping out of the project prague said it was frustrated it's now a minor role in the system the country was originally supposed to host a regular base but president obama proposed stationing less important facility there washington claims the scheme aims to protect you work from potential threats from iran or north korea but there has been strong opposition from russia which is concerned it is the target the czech republic has also seen massive protests activists thomas who took part in the rally says the system will only fuel international tension. check people don't want such a thing here in this country we feel that this will actually undermine the security of both the czech republic and europe as a continent and so we think that it's completely contradictory to place such a system here in europe this system without incorporating russia without

talking to also other world superpowers like china like india or the following are the forests that will be the biggest world economies in the in years is really going to make a lot of tensions on the global scale and so it we should be wise and just start thinking about building security mechanisms and structures that will include all the big super powers not just some. mascot has asked for a legal guarantees that a proposed missile defense shield one the aimed at its nuclear capabilities so far the u.s. and nato have refused to provide them russia's envoy to the airline says the project seems more of a stretch to security rather than a reassurance. because of books which you do maybe the security of an individual or state consists of two parts the first is the guarantee given by law by the state the other participant mentioned by a person's actions to provide his or her own security the same applies to what the

more real guarantees are get from our partner the less will do to provide security and vice versa i believe the missile defense project in the way it's presented now is very provocative and unjust but it can be useful and fear only of russia gets to participate in it on equal terms with other states because. that was russia's envoy to nato commenting on the alliances missile defense plans in europe. the greek prime minister is promising to reshuffle his cabinet and seek a vote of confidence in parliament after coalition talks with opposition parties fail george papandreou has been trying to push through more cuts to secure a second e.u. and i.m.f. hand plan stands over twenty five thousand angry people into the streets of athens wednesday while guineans held a general strike protesters clashed with police and fire tear gas at demonstrators threw rocks and petrol bombs there were a number of arrests and injuries some of the protesters tried to block

a holland to stop in peace from voting on a new scared plan british. is the bailout isn't going to help the greek people because it's only there to save the banks. one of the reasons that everybody is so determined to keep greece in the euro is so that the banks don't have to take a serious hit all their faults he made big policy so something has gone seriously wrong with the banking system it's almost as if there was no other holy alliance of politicians and bankers versus all three people i'm sure that's what the people on the streets of athens today feel like don't think the banking crisis is over i suspect but it's hardly the god i did many cases it might have been better to do what iceland did and they say look these banks go bust these people lose their jobs these people lose their money that's unfortunate about life and i suspect we're going to regret keeping the banks afloat and imprisoning countries like greece

inside a currency union which they're just not suited. and. caught up in a violent protest in the heart of athens her firsthand account is available on our website our team dot com. ok we see the great i'm not really. great i love the people that you don't want to be filming every come to you but. because there are also plenty of other stories and videos at our t.v. dot com including stunning images of a rare total eclipse of the moon on wednesday night. and your course will hear the next round in ongoing legal battle over victor borge the russian man america accuses of being an international arms dealer his lawyers and the prosecution will discuss the case with the judge who is awaiting trial in a u.s. prison but as marine corps deny reports the legality of proceedings is being questioned every step of the way. he is

a russian citizen america thought relentlessly to adopt it or boot was secretly and swiftly extradited to the u.s. seven months ago and this may be where he stays indefinitely if found guilty on arms smuggling and terrorism related charges if you use could be. he's looking at life there's no parole there's no early release in the federal system really only was in the federal system you get a reduction in your sentence. a significant reduction is if you cooperate with the united states government some have argued. beyond captain america's team however captain america is being accused of playing dirty and illegally to remove the air cargo business man from thailand according to documents released by wiki leaks all levels of washington top to bottom now to political pressure against bangkok to gain custody of boot in a us cable dated august thirteenth two thousand and nine u.s.

president barack obama was urged to call thailand's prime minister directly about boot the u.s. attorney general and state department were encouraged to call the thai ambassador highlighting the massive drug enforcement administration commitment to thailand and the us ambassador in bangkok urged the thai government to issue a public statement of disappointment at the judge's ruling not to extradite boot america is the world's most powerful nation but it's a lot more powerful than the world unfortunately the way things stand right now they're willing to flaunt every international law to get what they want and that means doing all these illegal things in the case of the extradite him or kidnap him who was arrested in bangkok in march two thousand and eight during a u.s. sting operation he was charged with conspiring to sell weapons to colombian fark rebels on two occasions its high court rejected america's extradition request when an entourage of armed u.s.

constructive interaction was un's nuclear watchdog the e.u. has been pressuring to iran to give evidence of its peaceful atomic intentions but in an interview to r.t. iran's envoy to the atomic agency says his country has nothing to prove and nothing to hide. as was raised by the united states and i approved of that investigation taking samples and having to go. says that all these allegations have basis in fact before coming to the end i was in charge of escorting all the spec does and i was with them in this way to size it which would prove these allegations had no basis this is a very unfortunate that eight years they are repeating these boring stories one thing is clear that we do not have a program for nuclear weapons we are fully cooperated with as they said the un-p.c. done the most robust especially in the history of order five thousand men these

research vessel was damaged in some very rough seas going to sea is never easy it always involves risk. we ran into a store and had some trouble with our rudder so we came into this choice very very base where we're having which a way and why in parts and where the russian bases offered help and other bases around of offered any help that's the kind of international cooperation that we get may antarctic which we may not get in other places because of its remoteness and because all countries that are here recognize the importance of all the work that we all do here working together is vital for the survival of those at the different international stations as well and the winter medical evacuations are impossible because of the weather conditions. and a lot of this it is very important to cooperate with other stations where different doctors here with different specialties so we complement each other for example my main specialty is orthopedics trauma i'm the only one here as you can imagine my

specialties in high demand here they are for our neighbors get in touch with me quite often we also ask our neighbors to help us with diagnostic devices we don't have one of the areas where cooperation between countries is strongly evident is in the realm of scientific research where ideas and information are exchanged the regularly so that multiple projects can benefit for example we're working right now with the germans who are further down the peninsula doing a survey and we will combine our data with their data at the camera meeting we also work closely with the british and provide any other help with scientific investigators that come aboard our ship to conduct their search their studies as well as. here to different dive teams discuss how they can share information and samples between russia and germany. and beyond the lab different countries keep an eye on each other to make sure that all activities are in line and. the antarctic
