it's considered that this year the big players are hot sauce and china because the euro and dollar are struggling to survive yearly these two countries are not only developing separately but dynamically in their bilateral cooperation in fact it's come out statements from both sides recently that china and russia can say that they've not only overcome the consequences of the economic crisis of two thousand and eight but they have beaten the record levels pre-crisis levels and that can allow them to set ambitious tasks to further intensify bilateral trade and cooperation it would look at other issues on the world stage france and china see i fly very differently from the west when it comes to international crises take libya both have their reservations about the un resolution is expected back both in strongly oppose any kind of intervention in syria which recently is seeing more and more unrest in both countries are also going to certainly it's expected encourage other leaders here to deal with the arab uprising only fall and peaceful means

president and china since intel met in moscow before coming to this forum and they discuss their high. china and russia believe that the un has to play a bigger role states are and of course including the security council just to give you an idea of how our weekly china and russia are solidified their relationship through presidents have already met twice this year they're going to meet at least twice more before the end of the year if not more and will both be giving speeches at this year's economic forum which will broadcast live for you here on our two nominees in our way reporting from the st petersburg economic forum. for their energy on this june the told r.t. that the alliance between the world's biggest energy consumer and the world's biggest energy producer couldn't come soon enough. china would be a hugely important trade partner for russia both in energy terms and in general

trade these are two countries that for many decades shared a political ideology least to some extent they share the longest land border in the world to be much much greater partners than they are now if we look at russia is extremely keen to develop its oil and gas resources in the east of the country exporting those anywhere other than asia just doesn't make logistical or economic sense so really this is about russia spreading its wings everybody who can export anything is looking at the asian market because that's where the growth in this is a. you know this is a very sensible and understandable move on the part of both countries. it's energy analyst julian lee there giving a his take on strengthening russian chinese ties with that special business bulletin live from the cent petersburg international economic forming around

fifteen minutes time. u.s. president is under fire from congress over the military campaign in libya which is continuing despite not having approval of lawmakers proc obama has rejected accusations that always been broken arguing that america is only playing a supporting role through nato which makes it legal it's a chicken has more. u.s. lawmakers are saying that president obama has to either stop waging war in libya or ask for congressional approval the lawmakers claim that the military action will violate the nine hundred seventy three war powers resolution if it does not and by friday and they mean this friday nineteen days after the intervention began under the u.s. constitution to wage a long term war the president needs to get authorization from clue. analysts say the obama administration will certainly find a way to get around the requirement by referring to his right as commander in chief

as well as certain legal speed you know to stay the administration has refused to say war when it comes to their actions in libya they call it kinetic military action as a result of that kinetic military action civilians are bombed their very day a group of international observers is now in tripoli including a former u.s. congresswoman cynthia mckinney we spoke with her a few days ago she said they've heard and they counted eighty nine blasts in just one day those are civilian neighborhoods eighty nine bombs dropped in just one day there is a lot of concern that the voices of those who are caught up in that war in tripoli go unnoticed in the international community but here in the us it seems the voices of the majority of americans those who oppose the u.s. military involvement in libya also go unnoticed by the white house the administration continues to stress the good cause that they pursuing leiby of but some analysts say the administration also seems to be in denial when it comes to the will of their own people regarding the issue as well as constitutional

procedures legal experts say there is not much congressman can do to force the president to comply at least with the u.s. constitution because there are ways to get around ways the obama administration seems to be using extensively most congressmen now criticize president obama for as they say ignoring congress but top of the hill observers say it's mostly political games that the lawmakers are playing to score points by snubbing the president come the day to actually vote the majority of them will vote for more military spending as they always do but there is a small bipartisan group of congressmen ten people in it who went further than verbal rebuke send they sued president obama on the grounds that he's violating the constitution but everybody here knows that the lawsuit is certain to be dismissed on procedural grounds because the u.s. supreme court has determined that members of congress do not have standing to file such suits and this is where it hits a dead end that it makes me wonder whether or not u.s.

lawmakers actually have the capacity to effectively represent the people. washington's credibility in the future of the nato campaign could well be fatally damaged if congress forced back a volatile abandon operations or third david swanson says the problem is that there is so confusion over exactly what's happening in libya. white house doesn't make the arguments that many of its supporters make that the war powers act does not apply much less the constitution because this is neither a war nor hostilities this is something else this is a military operation that doesn't rise to the level of hostilities which absolutely absurd the war powers act was written in one thousand nine hundred seventy three very intentionally and clearly to encompass all military engagement superfluity imminent threats of us still of these obvious medina's fuselage was deplaning of former lawyer from the reagan white house he was defending obama and he asked this

guy twice never got an answer if there were two thousand missions over the united states by a foreign nation and many of them were dropping bombs would that be war with the hostilities he could have gotten congress to authorize war in libya it would have been quite easily done he could have done it in the sixty day gap after he started the war he chose not to presidents want and this president is no exception the power to make wars on their own. or russia's envoy says libya needs national reconciliation after meeting counter dolfin or the sadr city as part of attempts to mediate a ceasefire but nato raids continue unabated against gadhafi strongholds from the has the details from the bin capital. after meeting with the libyan prime minister and foreign minister here in tripoli russia's peace mediator because the together has said it could all face people are actually ready for peace negotiations but this could only happen if the top spall in their country recently nato has

dramatically intensified its matrix we see here in libya just ahead of marvellous first visit to libya as peace mediator to bin ghazi name to actually the most intensive air raids yet since the beginning of the operation in march just ahead of gallup's arrival to tripoli we've been hearing massive bombardments over knowledge this lawless officials has been able to speak to are saying that this must be stopped and only that they could start. chose a losing expecting to see an immediate cease fire before a peace process can begin it's also refusing to discuss the departure of colonel gadhafi from the political scene there is a dialogue going on between the warring sides but for those talks to begin to result which it believes there's a cease fire must be put in place and huge international mediators need to keep regulating the process and one thing is clear russia is very welcome as a mediator both in tripoli and in benghazi we will keep working together we can go

it has also stressed that russia's role in mediating peace here in libya is very important but the african union and actually all libya's neighbors are roles of playing. important role in bats and leave there is actually welcoming average what is peace efforts russia has always been concerned about matriculation here in libya most case position has always been clear that and known violent negotiation is the only way out of this crisis of this attracted conflict russia has never supported the u.n. security council resolution which authorized intervention and russia has repeatedly criticized for launching a military operation here in league. people actually feel extremely exhausted after months of devastating war which has already taken many many lives and has actually completely destroyed the country's infrastructure they're getting more and more

angry and they just want to get their life back. party or for national reporting there from tripoli. a quick look at what's ahead for you on the program what attracts a young woman to try her luck in a male dominated environment well on this continent. for us judge has called the case against alleged russian gunner victor boot unconvincing the prosecution's i can say sions thin after consulting prosecution lawyers the manhattan federal judge said she didn't see much evidence against boot he's currently awaiting trial on your prison facing charges of smuggling arms to colombian rebels accusations he denies that he was arrested in two thousand and eight american sting operation thailand and later extradited to the u.s. . america's top military commander says it is the that will be found and killed just like osama bin laden the new top man on an owl's

a while name has been second in command since the terror group was founded in the late eighty's but terrorism expert phil reese says that matter who's in charge of arc either washington will still use the perceived terror threat as an excuse for military action. was the main fear or titian osama bin ladin thought in broad strokes it was a month in the nitty gritty and some people even said he was the brains behind the movement throwing back since they'll be a continuum i think the west was. was wrong footed by what was going on in the middle east and i think they're very keen to have a foothold there now certainly al qaeda in the arabian peninsula is one of the most active ideological groups there but the yemeni prison. recently he used as an excuse to get funds from the united states and then use those funds against another group in a local dispute and in the same way that i think that the united states' going to track drone attacks in certain areas and claim that foreign we're going for al

qaeda so our influence there shouldn't be questioned so i think we should be slightly cynical about those claims. and israel is fighting its own war on terror by refusing to hand their tax and customs he's collected on behalf of the palestinian autonomy it's earmarked to pay wages but israel says it could be used to fund the tax policy reports with. enter a unity government along side that or how the students are even less likely to see their money. gods the palestinian ministry of finance his job is to check everything that comes into this building but he has no control over what goes out least of all his salary which is paid by the ministry and sometimes comes a long overdue how do i look my salary comes later it's like my life starts i simply cannot do anything i have a wife and four children to feed and when i don't get paid on time it makes lots of problems for me and my family. i want to keep the ministry get its money from the

israeli government it comes in the form of customs and tax cheats he said tell of a vis been collecting on goods arriving at his reports and distant palestinians the arrangements in one thousand nine hundred three is part of the oslo accord giving tel aviv control of the international borders between israel and the palestinian territories but the money transferred each month to the palestinian ministry of finance which uses it to pay wages except now we're talking about the german foreign. ministry it is kind of the subject and frequently. asked one of the many if they would create the situation so. palestinians fear their tel of of could again choose to withhold text many like you did last month is where it is argued that if we want to do so if they suspect the money could be used by. this salaries terrorist paid for the same bank account so i don't want to find. only in order to kill me the palestinians insist the monies for ordinary work is it

is double edged sword because on one hand it's a punishment but on the other hand it's a punishment it's a collective punishment that would mainly weaken the moderate elements within the palestinian society and play to the hand of the extremists the relationship between hamas and fattah is a turbulent one but both groups are trying hard to work together ahead of september's planned declaration of statehood no doubt is what will be working even harder to thwart them should it feel its interests are threatened policy r r t the manner. of more stories on life in the palestine going to dot com we have more news and videos always available for you on line here's a quick look right now are questionable case a cuban born ex cia agent linked multiple bombings is one of the key u.s. city bayani this from his countrymen sentences for unproved crimes.

always been a male dominated environment which means that when i women arrives to ply her trade it's still something of a novelty so sean thomas tracked down an intrepid film director to ask what drew her to the ends of the earth. as a filmmaker olga stefano the likes of the penguins and seals but for her and articulate is about something much greater still that. even though it seems like this is a naked land make it still is empty cliffs nothing special sound like and it's no good happens inside of you when you are here for the whole year and are removed from all other external factors is a pair of valuable experience. staying through in antarctica winter is serious busy . and so every member of a winter team has a specific purpose and they rely on each other to make it through is one of only a few women to have ever been allowed to be a part of this experience. and the team was

a big bonus for us it's the first time such an intelligent young woman in such high professional objectives has been on the winter team as much as stephanie made our existence heck last year of course there are some difficulties and attractive girls with fifteen men. some difficulties but we've learned to manage them all this experience in wintering of building a house and gave her a true rare opportunity to experience and document life here in antarctica now she's working to expand on her project and find an audience for her work but she just can't get the minute ran out and putting the finishing touches to the second part out of film the first one is already finished it's cold weather in the winter the second part probably because the season ended and it will feature all the antarctic summer. to debut her documentary olcott invited some special guests the same antarctic winter team who are the subject of her film a fact that makes her slightly nervous you know she watches i love and respect them

their close and dear to me and they have such huge battleground knowledge they know people in the field they know the winter season firsthand and they have been through this themselves. as for the thoughts of those who have seen the film. there's little makes a big impression on me there may be some. professionals actions by a couple of members of our team but to show that the way it was to show that the way she saw. a unique look into a world that is inaccessible to most in antarctica sean thomas r.t. . yes the continent discovered many unusual stories and came back with suspects. the footage can follow his blog at. 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 sean thomas discovers what makes antarctica so special and attractive for many wildlife in antarctica. and the sunshine. expedition to the bottom of the earth. and the moment said the business news with katrina stated. hello in a very warm welcome to the business bulletin hey on say we start with one of the most important russian economic events of the year since petersburg international economic forum.

the city of st petersburg has always been cold russia's window to europe but with the economic forum underway it's become the window to the whole world tatiana polya cover has the details about the second day of the forum. the presence of russia and china will kick off the second day of the forum with a keynote addresses after meeting on thursday dmitry medvedev who just emphasized the growth of trade between the two contractors although that couldn't hide an absence of three long awaited deal over against supply contracts from space is now expected to be signed later in the year if the deadlock over prices is the result in the meantime both leaders will be doing their best to persuade delegates to invest in the emerging powers so far this year russia has seen

a stay of the capital outflow something all these companies here i can reverse. trey's is live in st petersburg actually i met how are you it's day two of the form what can we expect on the crowds for today. oh well there's lots of stuff going on today we've got an address from president medvedev and also people are talking about the far east as opposed to the west china delegation is here and they are going to be talking about a lot of business that is of great economic importance to russia so that's something that is definitely going to be on the table as out russia turns east on this day two of the st petersburg international economic forum but off of all that we're moving on with our guest our tidy to our coldish the economic advisor to president medvedev in a very important person on the russian scene good to have you with us thank you very much for joining us when i see the first question i have briefly outline for

us the president's address today. the president bill miller talking about. what we have achieved over the last. couple of years. in terms of for us to be patient off the crisis and. plans and they have a number of achievements. and they have more projects investments are coming in. because international companies. months investment climate while we stick we still have big programs like corruption. and it is for small to medium sized businesses and the president we'll be putting down some of the new steps to improve for investment climate. especially. in terms of making a market more comfy more competitive promoting competition privatizing. the state to delay that that's that's in the medium term perspective and also fighting corruption so that's more or less of the mystic part of the story and he will be

also talking about international efforts. in the my. so that that allow. for and i thought a little partnership simply with china. stabilized global economy if we can promote the government at all so i had on the wall and that's a very important aspect rooting out corruption in the russians isn't because it's not only as i understand it the fact that it exists but also the perception of it existing that maybe keeps companies from taking this step and in doing business in russia what concrete steps is he suggesting or to help root out the problem present came out. of the specific initiatives if you weeks ago in money by course and feel that idea. to use the process from communication from you then you should have said and. i think the perception is changing because more and more criminal

investigations regarding corruption and people already know that this is the probative that they're going to be. sued for those things they're going to be punished for behavior so people are much more careful about what they're doing but the prison gives it more steps on you that then he will make some new specific proposals in both fighting corruption today so for they expect more and you'll see those so it is important that we should distinguish the snapshot the fresh the day and that's not all this week so i think sure. from. the movie if we have a look at the movie the russians in the ninety's russia five years ago russia now i think the progress is here you have improvements because. more investment so you have far more of the c kind of media in the family the foreign direct investments in russia and it makes a difference i got to ask you this one because there is uncertainty in the business

community of out of the upcoming elections is there at least a timeline that you know of. president to announce whether or not he'll be a candidate. well. presumably have made it clear that. we should not. follow all the requests so for some people that reason out of malfeasance of the next because if it's that we should. keep the station stable in. full force according to the rules at all say that. announcement can be made in the autumn this year. not in the summer i don't i don't think that. unless the station will change if that's fifteen hours before the fall and now we recently heard that the gazprom deal with china that was expected to be signed has not put pen to paper on that they're still working out some issues but do you have any insight as to the idea is there.
