where several important deals have been signed and it includes a vapor we'll tell you all about that in our business report coming up in about twenty minutes. a very warm welcome to you this is r.t. live from moscow the recession right now or oxys cameraman in the southern russian city of a lot of tough times has found at the bottom of his car packed with explosives our correspondent in a culture who is in the republic of north associate now joins me live on the telephone number so what can you tell us what do you know that's point. well that for an hour you got my camera learn where you can get very nasty i mean differing out the way forward for our economy so i called him and he called me back there to morning you can inquire for am on t.v.

and why do mechanics because i think i think there are people i. think why the moment i know i need i need out the camera man in think i could meet you actually back to the area i run down to the garage where the car in. talk it's party time then blocked calls well i spoke to him last time five minutes ago and i want cam whether he thinks all right what they can help and sign he told me after a several seconds of silence that was enough for both of us when we all know that you are trying to go to trial rejecting the term there have been a number of the terror raids going on since march this year i don't several of those actually doing reporting several stories but i'd argue moment i'm going to do a good thing which you know jack crane to be blocked off to find out more information about what is going on and that was the car with the chairman medina

can you can you tell me i'm just this comes car being used on various stories when you're going out shooting stories has a camera has a call being used that. i wanted to use quite often actually aaron for his car was in his private property but always to use to drive that car to befriend the onsides or b.m.i. to the different republics that would been covering quite recently when they did close up reported and they were public also as the sun and almost everything that went what joan jett driving on this very hard shell this call was quite often used by arson certainly did it seems like somebody paid attention to your call when you know the shooting stories and what is the sort of volatile region i mean you know any i need to do on the size of the explosives what kind of being used what could have been a devastating explosion had it all gone off. i think i could be the one to. clear my camera once again going to. be there to guide you are quite

right and that could lead to. anything results for both of our the moment i'm approaching a big union and i'm going to find out more than what we are indeed in the talk about our lucky timing when taken the current m.o.t.d. in discovering a bomb attached to the bottom of it within a quarter of a thanks very much for that. now two of the world's biggest and fastest growing economies russia and china and i'm meeting right here in moscow gas is one of the main sources of the discussion as moscow becomes a vital supply of energy fueling the massive growth of its eastern neighbor he's got to be one of our reports on the other shared interests the two nations will be talking about. 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 jobs the sources 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 heading all the way to china we know that according to the gas pumps you know like c miller the agreement for gas supplies to china was supposed to be signed sometime in two thousand and eleven that we know that today during. the chinese leaders visit a gas moment the shells 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 the great turnover the biological trade turnover with china is one of the biggest that russia currently has so

a very strong partnership that has the potential to go even stronger and that is definitely something that both has a tower and a meeting with it it will be looking to achieve during this meeting 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 musing of a c.e.o. countries where the two leaders met 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. profile should be preferred over any kind of military presence in the area of course we do know that both sides do seem to agree on that position in regards to the libya but also with syria that both sides are gates any sort of potential

intervention or even potential u.n. sanctions that is something that is most likely going to be reiterated once again that share this issue here in moscow. reporting right now let's get some more on russia and china ties i'm joined in the studio by sort of yes and i qualify chairman of the russian chinese center of trade and economic cooperation and i thank you very much for coming on the program today so the countries are certainly appear to have an understanding of the economy and foreign policy but interpreting is as it seems could there be any sharp corners to be looking out for i think can we call a relationship should be more than it's no. we go for the turnover between two countries proximately seventy billion us dollars but it's. for example we can compare we have the turnover chain and yes europe of course and training. and.

countries in a group. of this turnover bigger boys i mean it's very interesting as you say i mean two of the biggest bolstering economies here lots of lots of trade deals and i'll state it so it's a little wrecked and most important is that the structure of these turnover we can see the. russian expertise mostly materials and there you will in guess. is just. a simple fix it is what i'm sort in trouble would be fair to say that russia is is one of if not the richest country in the world when it comes to natural resources here certainly and anyway we should try to. raise. up so you can structure turn over the machinery and that's why three years ago. the countries created the russian trains chamber for machinery and you know which and that's why we know it'll be too high and increasing could.

see the turn but now i will say that beijing is becoming a russia's leading trading partner it's trying to the place where the real future of the economy lies for us russian businessmen we hope sort of hint we think that this is really countries with a lot of opportunities so we're going to deal with china lots of opportunities but let's let's talk about the broader picture here do you think that is growing russia china or alliance going to some point become a threat to the economic and political interests of the united states and its allies i think of the u.s. and china in the modern world cup that sense certainly us is a little bit journalists who actually say when they see the whole we should cooperate and i think certainly. we should take into consideration the interest of us when we're doing the kind of chemical the u.s. do anything to try to hamper what is obviously a very special relationship. i think it's because china and u.s.

most biggest economy in the world maybe sometimes people feel like something like ok all right now what about russia china and i keep central asian states were meeting at the se you know yesterday the shanghai cooperation organization sorry to the tenth anniversary of that and i'm to provide security and stability in the region but do you see this group rivaling in nato in the future nato on the west you've got the f c o in the east you've got these groupings all the all of the countries in their own neighborhood is there some sort of potential threat in the future. you know. is already playing the group. the world certainly the leader so for. seventy two it's to really. do all the best to show this for the whole world and as we see we can you know we know that this is the

population of this country more than the profit. of the old this country is the most for you or asian continent and we already showed you this and you can see this is a very interesting grouping yesterday don it has extended. something a lot of our major leaders that i've met here there was a dinner i was there and many others and which is i see what the future holds are sort of a. chairman of the russian china center of trade and economic cooperation thank you very much thank you. the fate of libya's leader and a political way out of the civil war will be at stake during talks in tripoli this as russia's envoy will colonel gadhafi loyalists. visit to try and broker a cease fire comes as the latest nato airstrikes target an area close to cut off its compound parties where financial reports. that visit to tripoli is part of russia's peace mediates a mission in the protracted lieben conflict that's been has been insisting all the

time that's nonviolent negotiation is the only way out of the crisis russia has repeatedly criticized nato of false starts and a military operation here that 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 rebel supported by nato allies want to see force khadafi out while the colonel himself says that he will fight to the death what the recently have been several signs indicating but a compromise is possible to make make a mother go of met with their the opposition leaders. in the libyan rebel stronghold of benghazi and talks to get off 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 sad but he had

a feeling that the rebels are ramos ready for a dialogue with gadhafi the people in tripoli we have been able to speak to are welcome in russia's efforts the 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 folk along a dozen kilometers people have to spend hours even days lining up to fuel 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 well people are getting more and more and all they want to get their normal lives back frustration is high among the rebels as well as they feel as though nature is taken control over what's to that is a national of freising it's true 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 tough in italy worth trying. still ahead for you this hour here on our question of justice has emerged a russian got run over to boot faces a new round in court battle with the legality of the whole case under scrutiny. the greek prime minister is set to announce the makeup of his new government and seek a vote of confidence in parliament after coalition talks with opposition parties fail georgia has been trying to push through more cuts to secure billions of euros in a second e.u. and about the planet sent over twenty five thousand angry people onto the streets of athens on wednesday when unions hold a general strike protesters clashed with police who fired tear gas after demonstrators threw rocks and petrol bombs there were a number of arrests and injuries some of the protesters tried to block of parliament to stop m.p.'s from voting on the new austerity plan british m.p.

nigel farage believes 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 on their four policies so there's nothing 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 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 that it's hard to get beyond and in 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 but that's 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 suitor. well i was caught up in the violent protests in the heart of athens first hand account is available on our website
