4:05 pm
eventually they're going to run into problems overall it has to be said at the session went pretty optimistically president medvedev pointing out that the economy is a lot like the weather here in st petersburg one day but on the first day of the form you have beautiful sunshine on the next day you have rain and that's how it really acts for us and these officials are looking at the economy and optimistic that eventually they will somehow get out of that the main challenge though that europe the european union i should say and russia and countries like conflicts and are facing is not to allow the euro crisis to affect their trade and that's really what was the focus at this final session it has to be said as well though that the final question actually from the moderator wasn't in fact about money it was the question that was really on everyone's mind and would it come up before the end of the forum and that of course is whether or not president made today david is going to run for reelection here is what. but when i consider it appropriate to
4:06 pm
tell you whether i will do it or not i will come out and say it this forum is not the best place for that one thing you can be sure of is that i would be able to avoid making that statement i will have to tell the people of russia and anyone else who's interested about my decision so secret that president medvedev may want for him as president and if you're wrong. reelection will certainly be modernization that's what he opened this forum with and this is the best place to really work in detail on projects like spoke about what's the plan to build someone like silicon valley institute just down five months ago it's well underway in terms of development a lot of c.e.o.'s of figures here for the three day summit in st petersburg from silicon valley we had eric schmidt. google and they're actually meeting with all of the officials from the scope of my working side by side with them to make sure that this launching moves and develop the fully as possible so it's a great venue for the movers and shakers as we call them to really get together

4:08 pm
sanctions are going the first step towards a wider action. these new sanctions the third wave of sanctions they're incrementally escalating the u.s. and western european intervention into syria i think that we're going down the road as we when libya where one step leads to another step they're climbing the escalation letter they have a very sort of selective concern for the lives of protesters and democracy movements or movements that call themselves democracy movements you take rain they're they're they're condoning the crackdown on peaceful protesters i think what's really happening is that syria syria has been targeted by the united states and also in principally by by france and the u.k. for regime change and i think they see this growing protest movement and the possible slippage of the country in the direction of civil war as an opportunity to
4:09 pm
overthrow what has been considered to be an independent government in syria. mideast watches have been telling us that the u.s. may talk of public protection concerns but actually it's got its eyes on a different price all the talk of exporting democracy and all that sort of preaching the rest of the world i find is highly inconsistent and is hypocritical and in the case of syria in particular i think the u.s. is caught between wanting to be active but at same time mortified by what the alternative would be in syria which in my view is completely unjustified it's not necessarily going to turn into a fundamentalist islamist state or anything like that what we are seeing there are really for freedom and democracy and. while he could have been if you like played a more consistent role in foreign policy hasn't done but is also a new sort of intervention there with. which is based purely on this desire for

a seemingly unstoppable pace as. people look to leave their poor rural backgrounds behind in search of the chinese economic miracle and one of the largest groups of people currently moving into china cities are university graduates like those from this campus in downtown beijing however many are arriving to find their degrees of furtively worthless and that the streets are paved with anything but gold these graduates often end up living in the most basic and squalid of conditions and forced to do menial jobs sociologists have dubbed them the ant tribes and there are thought to be more than one hundred thousand living in beijing alone in june chine is one such ant he shares a twenty square meter room with five other graduates in a former workers dormitory in the north of beijing washing and toilet facilities are shared and there is nowhere for them to cook but it's not just the ants that are suffering for my parents and sister went through

a lot of hardship to save the money that put me through university i studied hard and did part time jobs to support myself now though all i can find is unskilled part time work so i really feel like i'm letting them die on. part of the problem is that there are simply too many university graduates now entering the system in one thousand nine hundred eighty two when the government began to seriously look at expanding higher education chinese universities were producing eight hundred thirty thousand graduates a year in two thousand and ten but number was six million and it's still growing. at that for on the one hand chinese universities are already in a weak state we need them weaker with an over rapid expansion so the education received by many of today's graduates has been very poor on the other we have a whole generation who are used to having everything done for them you cannot do think for themselves who's going to give people like this work. with reports of

4:19 pm
built and it sat there for a while until the end of two thousand and three they numbered all the parts every beam was disassembled and they transported it to kaliningrad from there it was shipped all the way here to antarctica since feb fifteenth two thousand and four the church has been officially up and running with the orthodox church providing a staff of two specially trained monks each year but given the extreme climate in which they operate they face extreme challenges as well. because the conditions in antarctica run usual with strong winds we need to hold back the power of the wind with strong tight walls and special chang's sometimes the rain here comes out as horizontally with the wind so that the water is coming through the cracks but also it can climb up for it to leak inside. now trinity church has become a sort of antarctica landmark even becoming somewhat of a tourist destination for v.i.p.'s and diplomats. no matter who visits this church they always say it's beautiful it's a remarkable church made out of boudin
