a new public cuts in the deeply indebted countries. this is r t coming to live from moscow i'm marina josh 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 increasingly important supplier advantage of fueling growth across eastern border let's get more on this from our correspondent. so much of it is there room for improvement in what seems like an already strong russia chinese relations. according to both sides or there is a group that russia and china do enjoy a very strong and mutually beneficial relationship both sides seem to believe there

is room for improvement that is exactly what the talks between chinese leader whose intel his russian counterpart made with visit are of focusing on today and of course of the two sides are each other's biggest neighbors so there is a lot of room for improvement a lot of with ten shelves russia's of course one of the world's biggest sources for natural resources and china is very interested in obtaining more of those resources that is why the chinese leader will be meeting with representatives of russian state over the oil and gas giant gazprom we know that according to its c.e.o. alexei miller talks all were under way to have russia supplying natural gas to china and they remained for that contract was supposed to be signed at some point throughout this year about twenty eleven so we know that talks about that particular contract are definitely going to be on the agenda throughout the j we also know that there is a gas pipeline also in the works so it would it's supposed to originate in western

siberia to go all the way across to china delivering more gas supplies to that country so a lot of the energy related talks definitely featuring on the agenda here in moscow today but also china is out very lucrative market for russia the bilateral trade turnover between the two countries is that all time high and there's definitely much more to be gained from developing and nurturing this relationship so both leaders jeff we have a lot to talk about both say that there is still a lot more to be gained from the relationship between moscow and beijing mother goes without saying no which would be out of an hu jintao man on wednesday as you know at the summit of central asian states where the question of libya and syria was raised so is there. and understanding on this issue there. it does seem to be the case as you say both that the issues of syria and libya were raised that both

sides did reiterate once again the position that diplomatic solutions are the only way to broker peace in that already volatile region that a military intervention such as the one we're seeing in libya right now is by no means are helpful a solution that will not a solution at all according to both russia and china that military intervention will only serve to worsen the situation in that region specifically we know that russia has frequently opposed the intervention and also said that it will not back it would resolution on syria should that matter arise whatever the circumstances so both sides do seem to believe that negotiations are the only way forward and many of course are expecting the leaders to reiterate the opposition once again here in moscow. all right different things very much indeed for bringing us the details of this because we know as our report. the fate of libya's leader

and a political way out of the civil war will be at stage during talks in tripoli as russians and boy will meet colonel gadhafi loyalists from home or gallops visit to try and broker a cease fire comes as the latest nato airstrikes target an area close to gadhafi compound and reports. but is a true police part of russia's peace mediator mission in the protracted libyan conflict 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 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 may come at a gallop met with the opposition leaders in the libyan rebel stronghold of benghazi and talked to his cousin in cairo and south of 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 side 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 fuel up their cars and it's tiring more overnight it continues to strike tripoli and we can hear bombardments messy book

gardens almost every night and that scares them as well well people are getting more and more angry at all they want to get their normal lives back frustration is high among the rebels as well as they feel as though they turn. he's taken control over what to that is a national of pricing 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 to raise a national report and there are also have for you this hour here in our team the question of justice as alleged russian writer victor borge faces a new round in his core value put the legality of the whole case under scrutiny. and find out how nationality is 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 announced it's dropping out of the project brock said it was frustrated and it's now a minor role in the system the country was originally supposed to host a raider base but president obama proposed stationing a less important facility there washington claims aims to protect europe from potential threats from iran or north korea but there has been strong opposition from russia which is concerned the target public has also seen massive protests today. took part in a rally says the system will only fuel international tension. check people don't want such a pain here in this country we actually undermine the security of both the czech republic and europe as a car going in and so we completely contradictory to place such a system here in europe this system without incorporating russia without talking to also other world superpowers china. india or the following the far east

that will be the biggest world economy in the in the following 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 the security mechanisms and structures that will include all the big superpowers not just. moscow has asked for legal guarantees that the proposed missile defense shield won't be aimed at its nuclear capabilities so far the u.s. and nato average used to provide them russia's and going to the alliance says the project seems more of a threat to security rather than a reassurance. there's a book in which 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 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 us 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 if russia gets to participate in it on equal terms with other states question them and that is russia's envoy to nato commenting on the alliances missile defense plans and you know what. the great prime minister is promising to reshuffle his cabinet and seek a vote of confidence in parliament after coalition talks with opposition parties failed. has been trying to push through more cuts to secure a second e.u. and i.m.f. handout but plans stand over twenty five thousand angry people onto the streets of athens and wednesday while he was held a general strike protest has clashed with police firing tear gas at the demonstrators threw rocks and pepper bombs there were a number of arrests and injuries some of the protesters tried to block off parliament to stop and pleas from voting on the newest terry plan british hero a ferrari was a big isn't going to help the greek people because it's only there to save the

banks it's 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 of their fourteen lending policies so there's something has gone seriously wrong with the banking system it's almost as if there's a lot of holy alliance of politicians and bankers but it's all the 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 hard to i mean many cases it might have been better to do what iceland did and 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 just don't seem to. and there he is sara for us was caught up in a violent protests in the heart of athens her firsthand account is available on our

website our team. and if they got going up we paid the price but i don't make a profit out of it but the great love these people have for a very good you want to speak only. for you but. plus there are also plenty of other stories and videos that are actually dot com including stunning images of a rare total eclipse of the moon on a wednesday night. and the record will hear the next round in the ongoing legal battle over viktor bought the russian man america accuses of being an international arms dealer he's a lawyer and the prosecution will discuss the case with a judge but is awaiting trial in a u.s. prison but as marina reports though a gallery of proceedings is being questioned every step of the way. he is the russian citizen america fought relentlessly to adopt it for but 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 distribute the 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's top to bottom noun to political pressure against bangkok 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 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 if 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 new legal things in the case of the to extradite him or 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 i'm talking it's a 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. to transfer victor boot to america was a violation of a very important time european treaties signed in one nine hundred ninety s. which they stop political offenders cannot be extradited the case was not finalized to the us america used various means political. another's outside the boundaries of due legal process good recruit that means that it is not getting a fair deal to this day high officials have not provided official documents explaining the legal grounds behind extradition this despite repeated inquiries made by the russian foreign ministry that. we know for sure that the sixteenth two thousand turn at the moment to be it was physically taken out of its own prison his case has be considered by the time court of appeals and that is why there are no legal grounds for him to face a 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 to watch and 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. in. the courtroom accusing victor boot of arms dealing now finds itself accused of political harm kristie come october an american jury will decide pick a future they. are sure at surfside by the u.s. remains evidently the arena portland artsy. take a look at some other stories from around the world the second in command has become a sleeper according to

the cia website was inaccessible on wednesday. in an extreme world of ice and cold this far as the eye can see it's one for all and all for one every human send there to work wherever they come from is a vital link in the chain of survival are the sean thomas went to antarctica to see international relations at their best. in the icy waters of the antarctic and this research vessel was damaged in some very rough seas going to sea is never easy it always involves risk. we ran into a storm and had some trouble with our rudder so we came into this choice very very base where we're having the chilean supply and 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 one of this is very important a corporation without the stations where different doctors here with different specialties so we complement each other for example my main specialty is orthopedics trauma on i'm the only one here as you can imagine my specialty is in high demand here therefore our neighbors get in touch with me quite often we also ask our neighbors they 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're working right now with the germans who are further down the peninsula doing a crossword 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 the years here to different diet change discuss how they can share information and samples between russia and germany. and beyond the latter 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 and we've seen that just today because these people basically they all very closely and very well treated the russians the giants and the chinese a classic facilities for you i think it's one of the unique treaties in world history in terms of that kind of corporation and it is this special body working together in such an extreme environment that creates such a lasting friendships that's when i came to the station for the first time one chilean put it very well leave the conference of politicians we the polar explorers

have to live in peace because if we can't remind ourselves who else can we rely on for help. in antarctica sean john as. i say is challenge thomas reporting from the world's coldest continent there and you can read more about his adventures in antarctica in his blog at www dot com of course you can have more on the stories that we cover for you here on our team. more than a month. in one of the most extreme environments on the planet this is and charge it up and people have to be aware that they're far away from civilization sean thomas discovers what makes antarctica so special and attractive for many the wildlife in antarctica the bones and the friends of. the expedition to the bottom of the earth. well same bit as bird is getting down to some serious business as the annual comic forum gets

underway we are live and russia's northern capital tracking the deals and discussions. anyway. welcome live to say petersburg where the russian answer to davos the st petersburg international economic forum is underway right now more than a thousand attendees from dozens and dozens of companies are here in st petersburg looking at the economic potential of russia among the big themes that we have going on here are russia's a session to the world trade organization and the efforts in order to complete that and also the creation of a state backed private equity fund with about ten billion dollars worth in it in order to foster innovation in russia and to bring more business and economic activity to russia and the former c.e.o.'s countries also another big aim of this it is not only to reach out to the west to the west and western companies nor to do

business here but also look to look eastwards as well china is going to be a major player in this conference in fact along with president dmitry medvedev a chinese president hu jintao was also scheduled to be here as well and while i hear they're going to be working out the final details of a gas deal between china and russia right now to talk more about all this and to talk more about the general economic situation and what's going on here in st peter's averred i am joined by nicholas jordan c.e.o. of u.b.s. in russia and the former c.e.o. is countries thank you very much for joining me here so just tell me so far what are your impressions of the conference what do you hoping to accomplish here right think it's very impressive set up. i think it's probably the premier form in which the business community can meet each other as well as the political elite and discuss the things that are happening today as well as the way forward very good now since president advent of took office diversifying the economy he said has been

one of his primary goals how far do you think progress has come on i think there's been some progress i don't. it's enough and personally i think the actually the government also believes that it's not that the job is not complete. they have done some good things like you like they've established kolkata they have asked for politicians to leave the boards of various companies they have extensive privatisation program they've established the fund that you're talking about that would look for edward investments so they've done some things but there's more to do right now russia seems heavy capital outflow in the last ten years despite strong oil prices and despite commodities prices being hired why do you think the money is leaving russia and you think it's a risk for the country. but i think that if it continues long term probably guess. some of that is diversification some of that is technical with various mergers and acquisitions moving things are sure offshore and things of that nature but obviously some of that is money that should stay at home moving abroad and i think

that's the trick that is where the government needs to to concentrate its efforts to create a long holding environment in the pension industry before needs to be done insurance companies life side of their business his minute mutual funds and other things you know you're not going to create you're not going to bring companies to list in russia if there is no longer money in russia they're going to go where the money is spent right now that's in london hong kong and here and in terms of your money in russia how is i go and what are the u.b.s. plans and what is the general vision for the way forward here we're very optimistic and positive it's a large country with a large population and a very substantial here abroad if we can call it that. we believe there is progress being made in diversifying the economy there's going to be opportunities in respect to that companies new companies are rising all the time they need to raise capital

that's what we do best we do it globally and we believe we could do that here do you think russia's assertions of the w.t. you know is something. that is going to happen is going to help the country in terms of bringing foreign business i think i think it's a positive i think it will happen it's inevitable that it does happen i think some of some of the benefits will be at the margin but it's another step in joining the global community international committee of the league financially politically and otherwise and so it's a positive step very good and what do you think will actually ensure what actions do you think the country can in take in terms of things like this forum at such trying to encourage more foreign business and investment but i think a continued effort to address i guess the three major concerns of the international community which are a stable illegal if i am in a more that better understanding of property rights and you know the general political stability which i think in fact is being addressed in

a positive way all right very good thank you very much for your time it was during the c.e.o. of u.b.s. in russia thank you all right and that is the business program from here in st petersburg at the same petersburg economic forum stay with us here on our t.v. throughout the day for all the latest. wealthy british style messiah comes from time to. time. the. market finance scandal. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's
