fund terror attacks. the world news and much more twenty four hours a day you're watching r.t. welcome to the program now a country free of corruption and the move towards modernization on the world trade organization that's the future president outlined for russia i dissent i just heard international economic forum. and he said always at the meeting end and give us more details on this now and they said what exactly did the president have say about his plans for modernizing russia. modernization certainly was the main theme in fact it ran through very smoothly into all of the other problems that he touched upon so modernization is connected to all of us problems in china. is that it faces

a lot of eyes economy as the president laid out in terms of modernization for these business executives and world leaders in a lot of interviews this is what the russian president had to say about what he's that things are vital for russia to really move forward and its course to modernize the economy. why would it pursue your lead nalini i don't want a major renu of just outdated elements in the economy public institutions we need systematic changes we should not hesitate to say sorry about many bad habits we can focus only on the step by step development that would be a mistake there might be other stagnation behind the stability that's why we need to quickly change everything that stops breakthrough development this is the basis of the strategy and outlined in the past three years as russia's president with the strategy is a modernization program i'm sure this is the most up to date policy for russia we can significantly change the situation over the next few years that's why we should

focus on the following improving the investment climate in russia to create new jobs in the regions of the creation of police and other security forces improvement of the effectiveness of the jurisdiction system but finally the modernization of government silverline the approaches of the centralizing power. president also mentioned that he believes that this push for modernization in russia has to begin and it is really taking steps at all levels that society really has to have desire to modernize their country and unite to do that and with that he believes russia can really become the biggest and most active a colony in the world. yes hello there and he mentioned levels of society there present and i've pointed also to fight against corruption that's key to russia's future how does he plan to tackle that. that's right anyone who's investor is here for sales across is

a big problem in process of the week here from officials all the time quite some harsh words from the president saying that he believes that corruption is literally choking rusts economy and that people and the figures that are doing this need themselves to be taken care of i'll let him in his own words opted out free how he sees. the news here in the next to us he practiced corruption should be trying to eat the whole of russia agrees with this you don't really need section which could be corruption is very difficult to do with the existing order of greek prosecution is very slow and very complicated with the should be maintained at least say to their all clear guarantee to police sources case of unjustified accusations which unfortunately can sometimes happen in the showing in which at the same time the government should be patient. decisive way smoothly and for that purpose we should influence the way they suspected of corruption you will sixty six from.

now in terms of corruption of course the president also spoke about government reforms he talked about decentralizing power and of course are something we hear from him very often in his term as president the fact that this system is suffering serious problems and that needs to be reformed as well all in the end time. there is no way i live there from the center pittsburgh international economic forum thank you for that. other news now the u.s. president is under fire from congress over the military campaign in libya which is continuing despite not having approve the lawmakers. has rejected accusations that the noise being broken arguing that america is only playing a supporting role through nato which makes it legal he's going to try and has more . u.s. lawmakers are saying that president obama has to either stop 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 ninety days after the intervention began under the u.s. constitution to wage a long term war the president needs to get authorization from congress analysts say the obama administration will certainly find a way to get around the requirement by referring to his rights as commander in chief as well as certain legal speak in order to this day the administration has refused to say war when it comes to their actions in leadership they call it kinetic military action but it was it as a result of that kinetic military action civilians are on there every 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 be heard in the counted eighty nine blast 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 or 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 legal but suddenly 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 presidential 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 capitol 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. they sued president obama on the grounds that he's my leaving the constitution but everybody knows that a lawsuit is certain to be dismissed on procedural grounds because the us 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 the west lawmakers actually have the capacity to effectively represent the people but washington's credibility on the future of the nato campaign could well be fatally damaged if congress forced to abandon operations or thought they would swensen says the problem is that there is political 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 are just absolutely absurd the war powers act was written in one thousand nine hundred seventy three very intentionally and clearly to encompass all military engagement simply imminent threats of us still of these arson and then as you soonish was detaining 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 nations over the united states by a foreign nation and many of them were dropped these bombs would there be war would be 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's after he started the war he chose not to presidents want and this president is no exception but how to make wars on your own. now what's still ahead few in the program was a trance see young woman. in the male dominated environment world on this continent

that no matter who's in charge of washington will still use the perceived terror threat as an excuse for military action. a monitor where he was the main fear efficient osama bin laden thought in broad strokes it was a means of quarry was involved in the nitty gritty and some people even said he was the brains behind the move and so on but since it will be a continuum i think the west was it 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 president ali abdullah saleh was injured recently he used al-qaeda as an excuse to get funds from the united states and then he used those funds against another group in a local dispute and in the same way that i think that the united states can attack drone attacks in certain areas and claim that for a week or so our influence there shouldn't be questioned so i think we should be slightly cynical about those claims. and israel claims it's fighting its own war on

palestinians the arrangement since one thousand nine hundred three is part of the oslo accord giving television 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 three hundred five million. it is that if even. one of the military they were freed the situation you could feel. the palestinians fear their tell of of could again choose to withhold tax money like it did last month israelis argue they have every right to do so if they suspect the money could be used for buying weapons the salaries of hamas terrorists are paid for the same old soul idol world cup finals these dearest. palestinians insist the monies for ordinary workers it is. sore because on one hand it's a punishment but on the other it's a punishment it's

a woman arrives to ply her trade it's still something of a novelty. sean thomas struck down an intrepid film director to ask wasn't you her to the ends of the earth. as a filmmaker olga stefano the likes of the penguins and seals but for her antarctica is about something much greater still that helps. even though it seems like this is a naked land make it still was to quit it's nothing special snow like any snow but what happens inside of you when you are here for the whole year and are removed from all other external factors is a very valuable experience. seeing through an antarctic winter is serious business and so every member of a winter team has a specific purpose and they rely on each other to make it through boulder is one of only a few women to have ever been allowed to be a part of this experience. with olga ended up on our team was a big bonus for us as the first time such an intelligent young woman in such high

professional objectives has been on the winter team which stephanie made her existence heck last year of course there were some difficulties and attractive girls with fifteen men. so it wasn't difficult these are people to manage them bogus experience in wintering of building a house and gave her a true rare opportunity to experience and document the life here in antarctica now she's working through expand on her project and find an audience for her work. that we can get right now and putting the finishing touches to the second part of the film first one has already finished its cold weather in the winter the second part will probably be called this season and it will feature of the antarctic summer i would want that the state of. her documentary old invited some special guests the same antarctic winter team who are the subject of her film the fact that makes her slightly nervous you know she watches. i love and respect them they're close and dear to me and they have such huge background knowledge they know people in the

field they know the winter season firsthand they have been through this themselves my good will for you but nothing as for the thoughts of the. those who have seen the film. there's still makes a big impression that there may be some shows that are not professional americans by a couple of members of our team but to show that the way it was showed the way she . picked back you are. a unique look into a world that is inaccessible to most try to push on thomas. on the world's coldest continent r.t. shaun thomas has covered many unusual stories and came back with some spectacular footage of 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 are far away from civilization sean thomas

discovers what makes antarctica so special and attractive from the wildlife in antarctica. and the fragile. expedition to the bottom of the earth. but it's just a few minutes i would take the sandy beaches of russia's black sea coastline next. list. i mattress a live at the st petersburg international economic forum with your r t business update good to have you with us and indisputably the highlight of today has been

the keynote speech by russian president dmitry medvedev in which he laid out his vision for the new russian economy one that we hear heard a lot about work tech stocks and technology innovation in russia with their recently has been the successful i.p.o. of both young techs and mel that really is something that he is hoping can be continued throughout the russian economy he highlighted the development of a tennis billion dollars the fact that private equity funds something that will help foster business and innovation in russia and also the expanding of a thirty billion dollar state thirty billion dollars asset sell program here's what he had to say about that. government doesn't need such loans amounts of property it has only through schedule for privatization of major companies the implementation of these plans is necessary for the very modest the government has until the first of the scale of trying to time zation in order to

resolve this i'm sure we'll be able to go through with it in a movie transparent way in order to attract effective from the best is and generate sufficient funds for the russian budget. and another thing he said was that he didn't want there to be the establishment of a state capitalism in a rush of it rather that the job of the government should be to foster a private business in russia. part of that he said part of it to that would be access to the deputies. who businessmen that he's put go into businessmen have a saying that just like power issues leave and he would when they're on the case we rush to is that we will fool. me is not open that's why i will load barry is who flew an investment and looking foolish to fund membership. and only see us as the please notice you. are also a number of specific points he made that he said would help stimulate business in russia among them that there needs to be less regulation that there needs to be the

rights of minority shareholders for the protected in russia also that there need to step up anti-corruption efforts and create a foster or foster atmosphere of more efficient development for russia how to talk more about all of this incentive intimate and these are concepts i'm joined by bill savage vice president of the intel good to have you with us thank you very much for joining us here on our chief business thank you good to be here and so why what did you take away from the president's speech well i thought he was clear about his vision for the future of russia and in particular the at the in the areas that entails interest in that is the areas of technology innovation so i think those are opportunities for companies like intel to participate in the modernization of russia and that important because now given russia's role as a crime a merging market and a member of business breaker for countries how would you say it's important to

stimulate development and stimulate it's technology sector. well it is an important large market and growing faster than others in the world so i think the importance that it continues to grow is useful to many companies like intel as we're looking for our products to be more adopted in our growth to continue our opportunities is our in places like russia brazil to. another soul being called the ongoing growth of russia is important. how essential do you think it is for a country to stimulate and thought for its own research and development well i think that's a key part of the president's vision for the future that the current dependence on resources oil and gas is not a way to have a long term economy and that a long term sustained successful economy based on technology is a good vision for the future what other areas of investment do you think are right for russia and what other things do you see in the pipeline for the. well i think

the investments in information technology is an appropriate one communications and others many of the things where the companies that the president has asked to participate and scope of are things that are relevant companies like cisco intel. all can contribute to. this new economy that he sees in the future in terms of skolkovo what the tickler hopes to have for that well participating with universities as some place we're currently active and we're looking at our investments in research as are other companies that have been actually announced today so i think doing research in scope of under the under that. umbrella program would be a useful thing for intel as well as increasing our connections to universities and future employees for our research and development and country we have. one thousand employees in russia today and seven hundred of them are software to development

engineers so those connections are important and since we've invested not only in the market of russia but also in the development that we can get from that engineering connection the scope of that will be quite what's your takeaway from the conference so far it's been pretty interesting i always enjoyed the president's speech and the vision for the future it gives us good insight but it also the conference here. has the ability to meet with other partner companies in russia as well as multinationals from outside of russia and compare our approaches and and learn from each other now in terms of the steps the concrete steps that the president outlined in his speech do you see those as being helpful in order to help continue fostering economic. economic success in russia absolutely so i think he gave some pretty bold areas about his vision and changes needed some of them it was very relevant to technology or about others relevant just taking the country

forward as he talked about you know increase. diligence around corruption that that's good for the economy and always so i think those were all good steps some of them very relevant to the national businesses do you think if russia eventually joins the world trade organization and continues to open its economy do you see good potential for the country oh absolutely i think there's already good since it's a growing economy and a more open growing economy gives. potential not only for a worldwide participation but i think a stronger russia thanks for joining us brice out of a job by the president of intel thank you very much stay with us throughout the day for all this and more here on our team.
