blocked off by special forces well i spoke to him less than a no where to go and ask him whether he things as he sold the explosive device himself whether he thinks that the size of this explosive device was big enough to be to some devastating results for both of us and some thirty seconds of silence he told me that would be a really enough of a full both of us well at the moment i know the special service to have defused the explosive and later the tools i mean i mean at the size was a no offer to lead to a dad result or i'm sorry that i learned. something about the police refused to point forgive me for interrupting defuse the bomb the questioning to come around to see if you notice anything but tell me is this car used often by a crew when you when you're out shooting and what is it quite frankly a troubled region. well actually we were we were using dogs

car quite often frankly and in fact the latest program that with the was all right see russia close up the life of russia's republic north of santiago and almost half of the filming that we've done for that program with film driving this very car and yes indeed we trifle with that car alone across all the regions all this volatile region of russia's north caucasus the army do so as you say the car is used as you were shooting your stories in the region but you know the region you reported is known for having a couple paused as a correspondent living and working that does this affect you at all on any level. well indeed this region is considered to be quite volatile with some republics unlike english and saying. well with been filming quite often they are considered to be dangerous for journalists work and yes the reason this kind of an air of. and so volatility in this region but still when the camera man was asked by

these representatives where he thinks of anything why of any clue why that might happen to the artsy car there is not a clue not a single version at the moment why is this thing happened all right on tuesday no question about the reporting live for you thank you. let's get some other news now here in to the world's biggest fastest growing economies in russia and china are meeting right here in moscow is one of the main sources of discussion with moscow a vital supply of energy fueling a massive growth of its east and neighbor. whose are following the visit right here in the russian capital and i count your gas is not the only interest of the two nations that shares that. it's definitely not the only interest that these two neighbors share but throughout this meeting what we've heard so far it does seem to be taking up most of the day's agenda in the meeting between the chinese leader

who's in town was in moscow in an official visit and his russian counterpart meeting with the if we know without a lot of talks have been to. devoted to gas supplies from russia to china we know that gazprom so also involved the talks the russian state owned oil and gas giants is considering building a pipeline gas pipeline that will run from western siberia to china and that pipeline will be constructed exclusively to cater to the growing chinese energy needs of course another agreement is to be signed. at some point throughout this year twenty eleven and that agreement will. give us the delivery of russian gas to china once again a very large financially beneficial contract for russia of course energetically beneficial for china so the energy resources that you seem to be taking up most of the. kenda for the meeting of course fueling the relationship between moscow and

beijing but as you say it's by far not the only. point of interest for the two sides the two countries are each other's biggest neighbors and both leaders frequently stress that there is so much more room for improvement so much more potential within their relationship and that is of course what is also being discussed as hu jintao is that in russia we know that the two sides have agreed to increase their bilateral trade turnover which is at the moment already at an all time high but the two sides have agreed to increase it to one hundred billion u.s. dollars by the year twenty fifteen and altitude two hundred billion u.s. dollars by the here twenty twenty so in just under ten years time that bilateral trade turnover will be more than double so definitely a lot of prospects in that relationship and of course we'll be keeping you updated with what else comes out of the meeting between the chinese and russian leaders as soon as we get that information also if you can hear it so it's fascinating and so

i am right now when it comes to trade and economic prowess i between asian and eastern poland is a particular of course yesterday we had the cooperation organization some of the tenth anniversary overdone and. we had you know how to cause i'm not going to start to get off we're going to draw from the wrong we have madrid madrid if the i know i'm a beautiful hu jintao meeting in moscow you know if they're all there you said they poised to go to these computers but i knew economic forum in the next few days off they've had concrete discussions today. we do know that every detail is expected to arrive at the st petersburg economic forum we know that is on his a ten area after his time here in moscow both him and his russian counterpart to meet the images are expected to make their way down to st petersburg and participate in that forum and of course that is yet another indicator of the strength of the partnership between moscow and beijing all the high hopes that they place on cooperation from each other and of the various economic. benefits that of course could be reaped from

their partnership that increase made that pledge to increase bilateral trade turnover is definitely no mean feat more than doubling it under ten years so there's definitely going to be some more discussions at the st petersburg economic forum perhaps more concrete deals signed not only between the chinese national gas company and gas pump but various other business deals also on the table but that of course will take place in st petersburg and you're saying some major proposals on the table in interesting times right now but i. live in moscow thank you. so now let's discuss the strengthening relations between the two regional heavyweights with david dodd will trade policy consultant from hong kong. and i thank you for joining us today so. two nations have become each other's major trading partners is russia drifting more towards asia than europe and the us to varying from the west to the east. i think it's a bit of a stretch to say to ask

a question is extreme is that russia's clearly strongest historical economically both. the us and europe and the asian involvement is always very minor from the. for many many years but it will time question really because. just the last few years russia has become a member of the apec is in surprisingly cooperation group and. they. as a result have been concentrating a great deal more on the asia pacific region as of november this year russia becomes the chair of apec and has to drive the agenda for over the course of two thousand and twelve and how do you see as i was going to try to interrupt you how do you see russia driving the goal. chairing

a pay as you said i was of november i believe november the tenth what kind of agenda do you think expect to see it implement here. they haven't made it clear yet but i think expectations this is a expectations a reason to hire at the moment they could be disappointed a lot of people here very much hope that russia will use this opportunity to strengthen the links in asia very strongly very positively and we would look to the summit in. november next year. at unity to cement much stronger link speech certainly between east russia and be a pick a quantum is intrinsically trying to japan and korea as you talk about the strengthening of these relationships between asia and the far east we know that the relationship between russia and china is very significant in regards of the global economy what do you think considering china's rapid growth and america's huge debt

is beijing already the world's major economic player do you think. i think china's economy and what's happening it has become globally important but it's important to remember that china's economy is still only about one third of the size of the united states economy even with very strong growth a very sustained period china can't provide the locomotive force that the u.s. provides all the you provides so its influence can be very positive results of marginal help it isn't a locomotive of the size of the u.s. or europe yet ok as you say so china's economy is one million for size of the united states what do you think of this growing russia china alliance going to some point become a threat to the economic and political interests of the u.s. and its allies. of course is a very long very long to. question the moment i think their relationship is unlikely to move in that direction if you were to add thirty or forty years to the

to the question who knows all right i david i thought well the trade policy consultant talking to us from hong kong thank you. for you with r.t. and still ahead for you there is our question of justice as alleged russian a gun one of the boot faces a new round in his court battle we put the legality of the whole case under scrutiny. and russia's a drumming up business as the movers and shakers of the financial world gather for the annual economic forum in that sense he just wrote our business there will be live there and i just about ten minutes time. now the fate of libya's leader political way out of the civil war are at stake during talks in tripoli as russia's envoy meets colonel gadhafi loyalists. to visit to try and broker a cease fire comes as the latest and nato airstrikes targeting an area close to the compound. reports. but is a true police part of russia's peace mediator mission in the protracted libyan

conflict that's going 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 rubble supported by nato allies wants to force gadhafi out while the colonel himself says that he will fight to the death. recently have been several signs indicating but i compromise is possible last week mikel mcgillis match with the opposition leaders in the libyan rebel stronghold of benghazi and talked to his cousin in cairo and certainly 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 are welcome in russia's efforts 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 messy book gardens almost every night and that scares them as well well people are getting more and more angry 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 words to that is the national are freising 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 stuff locally worth trying. that is murtha national there reporting from tripoli she follows the visit of the russian envoy to the libyan capital. in new york a court will hear the next round in the ongoing legal battle over viktor boot a 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 artie's marina porter ny reports the legality of proceedings is being questioned every step of the way. he is the russian citizen america thought relentlessly to adopt it it was secretly and swiftly extradited to the u.s. seven months ago and this may be where he stays indefinitely is found guilty on arms smuggling and terrorism related charges if he is convicted. 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 blue 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's top to bottom now to political pressure against bangkok gain custody of boot in a u.s. cable dated august thirteenth two thousand and nine u.s. president barack obama was urged to call the highlands 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 somewhere of his 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 extraditing martians they kidnap and. 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 and 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 but it's family and his attorney for. the transfer of america was a violation of a very important time european treaties signed in one nine hundred ninety which

they stop political offenders cannot be extradited the case was not finalized and it was moved to the us america used various means political. and others outside the boundaries of due legal process to get recruit that means that your boot is not getting a fair deal to this day high officials have not provided official documents explaining the legal grounds behind the extradition this despite repeated inquiries made by the russian foreign ministry that we know for sure let's all move in the sixteenth two thousand turn at the moment and get to meet was physically taken out of its own prison is cases be considered by the time i call to the appeals and that is why there are no legal grounds for him to face a u.s. court. meantime. in the us or is it held in solitary confinement his wife doubts her husband will receive a fair trial from the country she says violated international law and bilateral

laws to get water and it's clear to everyone that the case has long been moved from the sphere of larger politics i think around and i would love to think that the american court is unbiased strong doubts about it because i think such pressure could be put on anyone including the jury. the country accusing victor boot of dealing now finds itself a political arm twisting come october an american jury will decide if the future what they. are shown at their size by the us remains evidently we are in a fortnight artsy we are. just turning twenty minutes past the hour here in the russian capital here with us here the greek prime minister is set to announce the makeup of his new government seek a vote of confidence in parliament all of this after coalitional talks with opposition parties fail george papandreou has been trying to push through more cuts

to secure billions of euros in a second in you an i.m.f. bailout plan to send over twenty five thousand angry people onto the streets of athens on wednesday unions held a journalist. protesters clashed with police who fired tear gas advanced demonstrators also threw rocks and petrol bombs there were a number of arrests on interest some of the protesters are trying to block off the parliament to stop m.p.'s from getting in so they can vote on the new austerity plan british near m p ninety four which believes the bailout isn't going to help the greek people 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 faulty mending policies so there's something has gone seriously wrong with the banking system it's almost as if there was a lot of holy alliance of politicians and bankers versus ordinary 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 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 how unfortunate but that's life and i suspect we're going to regret keeping the bags of clothes and imprisoning countries like greece inside a currency union which they just got suitor. sarah ferguson was caught up in the violent protests in the heart about things first hand account is available on our website artsy dot com. right i'm not really. letting people. want to be. here but. plus there are also plenty of other stories and videos that are called for example here including a starting a set of images of a rare total eclipse of the moon that happened on wednesday night. right

a caring thing and the form is how much the russian government has done to improve the investment climate in the country because jordan at u.b.s. russia and c.i.s. says there are many things that have already been achieved so there's been some progress i don't think it's enough and personally i think the actually the government also believes that the job is not complete. they have done some good things like you like they've established they have asked for politicians to leave the boards of various companies they have extensive privatization program we've established the fund that would look for a word investment so they've done some things but there's more to do. and russia's oil giant look for oil is looking to get exploration licenses in iraq the company's c.e.o. told me that this could dramatically increase local production. soon would you not see them if you take into consideration the twelve contracts of the those from which were presented in the tender that comes from and. they're being realized and
