floor and the full business bulletin around twenty minutes time. running nine am here in moscow i'm arena josh you're watching r t welcome to the program good neighbors valuable partners two of 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 an increasingly important supplier of energy fueling growth across its eastern border attachment as arwa is following developments for us here in moscow to tell us more because you 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 or supporting two representatives of both the russian side and the chinese delegation headed by the

chinese leader who's intel 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 russia of course is one of the world's largest resources of natural resources such as oil and gas and we do know that there are ongoing talks between gazprom 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 gazprom officials 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 try. 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 did will be looking to achieve during this meeting. call 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 of s e o countries where the two leaders met in. a 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 that diplomatic ways to resolve the conflict should be sought after and prefer 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 not 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 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 tripoli as russia's and we will meet colonel gadhafi loyalists myanmar gallops a visit to try and broker a cease fire comes as the latest nato airstrikes target an area close to could. his compound. reports. the visit to tripoli as part of russia's peace mediates a mission in the protracted libyan conflict moscow has been insisting all the time that 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 who was sent here to try to get everybody around the table that's actually very hard to achieve the rebel supported by nature allies wants to force gadhafi out while the colonel himself says that he will fight to the death

meanwhile recently have been several signs indicating that a compromise is possible last week make a matter of met with the opposition leaders in the libyan rebel stronghold of benghazi and talked to get off his cousin in cairo and said that 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 sad that he had a feeling that the rebels are almost ready for a dialogue with gadhafi lipo in tripoli we have been able to speak to 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 to continues to strike tripoli and we can hear bombardments mess of

bombardments almost every night and that scares them as well while people are getting more and more angry at all they want to get their normal lives bag frustration is high among. rebels as well as they feel as though nato is taken control over what to that is a national uprising it's too early to say whether russia will be able to bring peace and stability to leave it but it was clear among people on the ground is that it's definitely worth trying. very financial reporting there and still have for us our question of justice as alleged russian gun runner victor a book faces a new round of u.s. court battles we put the legality of the whole case under scrutiny. and find out how nationalities cast aside by explorers surviving in the freezing waters of the world's call this continent. the u.s.

will now have to readjust its missile defense plan for europe after the czech republic announces dropping out of the project prague said it was frustrated it's now minor role in the system the country was originally supposed to host a radar of base but president obama proposed stationing less important facilities 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 protest activists thomas who took part in the rally says the system will only fuel international tension. 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 play such and 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 you know the

powers that will be the biggest world economies in the in the following few years is really going to make a lot of tension on the global scale and so it we should be wise and just start thinking about building security meccano. and structures that will include all the big superpowers not just. moscow has asked for a legal guarantees that the proposed missile the fans shield won't be aimed at its nuclear capabilities so far the u.s. and nato have refused to provide them russia's envoy to the line says the project seems more of a threat to security rather than a reassurance. because of course you do 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 mentored by a person's actions to provide his or her own security the same applies to what's the more real guarantees we get from our partner the us will do to provide

a route security and vice versa i believe the missile defense project in the way it's presented no is very provocative and unjust it can be useful and fear only if russia gets to participate in it on equal terms with other states. 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 failed george papandreou has been trying to push through more cuts to secure a second e.u. and i.m.f. hand the plan sent over twenty five thousand angry people into the streets of athens on wednesday while gideon's 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 employees from voting on a new stared plan british were encouraging for the as 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 fault policies so there's. has gone seriously wrong with the banking system it's almost as if there's a little on the podium loans politicians and bankers vs all repeat 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 begun i did many cases it might have been better to do what iceland did and they say look these bags go bust these people lose their jobs these people lose their money that's how i'm fortunate about life and i suspect we're going to regret it keeping the banks afloat i'm presuming 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 first hand account is available on our

website r.t. dot com. the break up as we see the phrase that i'm not ready for. the day but. i love the people who provide even one of the people we. keep on. in class 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. new york or it will hear the next round and i'm going 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 but it is a waiting trial in a u.s. prison but as more important i reports the legality of proceedings is being questioned every step of the way. he is the russian citizen america fought relentlessly to adopt victor 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 could be. he's looking at life there's no parole there's no early release in the federal system. really the only way in the federal system to get a reduction in your sentence. a significant reduction is if you cooperate with the united states government some have argued mr bush needs to be on 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 mounted political pressure against bangkok to gain custody of boot in a us cable dated august thirteenth two thousand and nine us president barack obama was urged to call thailand's prime minister directly about boot the us 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's the world's most powerful nation but it's not 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 i should say kidnapping 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 the thai court rejected america's extradition request when an entourage of armed u.s. agents removed him from thailand following a decision of the thai government his extradition was still not legally approved

the covert operation was kept secret from russia boots family and his attorney. tell you the transfer of victor boot to america was a violation. of nine hundred ninety pound. royce that he was not finally was moved to the u.s. economy there you can use the reason you can see i'm a little. you know they're just outside the barrel. which you know but it. is not good enough for you to this day high officials have not provided official documents explaining the legal grounds behind boots extradition this despite repeated inquiries made by the russian foreign ministry that. would support what we claim and know for sure that a number sixteenth two thousand and ten at the moment victor boot was physically taken out of time prison this case was being considered by the type of court of appeals that is why there are no legal grounds for him to face the u.s.

court. meantime victor boot remains in the u.s. prison held in solitary confinement his wife doubts her husband will receive a fair trial from the country she says violated international and bilateral laws to get him. it's clear to everyone that the case has long been moved from the sphere of law to politics i think or rather i would love to think that the american court is unbiased but i have strong doubts about it because i think such pressure could be put on anyone including the jury. the country accusing victor boot of our dealing now finds itself a. little cold heartless to come october an american jury will decide the future to be a political pressure exercised by the u.s. army evidently the arena for nine. iran is promising transparency and constructive interaction was un's nuclear watchdog that you 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 united states and i you approved of the investigation taking samples and added to go. says that all these allegations have basis in fact before coming to the u.n. i was in charge of escorting all these specters and i was with them in this way to size it which would prove that these allegations had no basis is a very unfortunate that after eight years they are repeating these boring new stories one thing is clear that we do not have a the programme for nuclear weapons we are fully cooperating with. the most robust especially. bored five thousand mondays. every day is of diversion of nuclear material to prove we did purposes and

a statement or claim by you with due respect because they go to the rejig. and you can see the full interview with iran's envoy to the international atomic energy agency next hour here on our team now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world and i have her group claims to have knocked the central intelligence agencies public web site offline a firm calling itself security appeared on twitter to confirm it was part of the attack the group has previously claimed responsibility for cracking into the senate u.s. public broadcasting system t.v. network and a company that works with the f.b.i. the cia website was inaccessible on wednesday. a u.s. congresswoman shot in the head in january has been released from hospital after recovering enough to walk and talk again gabrielle giffords still faces daily intensive therapy and may never be able to return to work six people were killed

involves risk we ran into a storm and had some trouble with our rudder so we came into this choice for a base where we're having the chilean supply in parts and where the russian bases offered help and other bases around have offered any help that's the kind of international cooperation that we get me antarctica 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 in the winter medical evacuations are impossible because of the weather conditions and a lot of this it is very important to cooperate without the 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 specialty is in high demand here therefore 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 regularly so that multiple projects can benefit for example we are 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 the 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. the antarctic treaty system an international monitoring program that helps protect the earth's southernmost land we've seen that just today which is in the. very closely you can

very well treated both the russians the chileans and the chinese fantastic cities the antarctic treaty i think is one of the unique treaties in world history in terms of that kind of cooperation and it is this special bond of working together in such an extreme environment that creates such lasting friendships that the years ago when i came to the station for the first time one chilean put it very well leave the conflict to politicians we the polar explorers have to live in peace because if we can remind ourselves who else can we rely on for help in antarctica sean thomas. reporting from the world coldest continent you can read more about his adventures in antarctica and his blog. more than a month. in one of the most extreme environments on the planet this is antarctica and people have to be aware that they're far away from civilization. problems
