crisis with prices rising am a value of its currency plummeting archer's on thomas has more on why dollar rusa struggling to pay its bills. people are panicking making a run on the banks and making a run on any types of goods that they can let me give you a little bit of a hint of the situation on the ground right now nikolai smallpox who is the economic minister in the country had a press conference today amidst said that he's sorry that he could not shoot himself and that he feels personally responsible for the current economic crisis inside the country now these could be comments that are dark humor if you will or made off the cuff but still for someone of that stature to be saying it is such a thing is very troubling to say the least well on the ground inside the country people are going to try and exchange their rubles their fellow russian rubles for russian rubles or u.s. dollars but there are no dollars to be found inside the country so they're coming up empty handed the currency itself as it devalued to such an extent that it's

pretty much worthless there's a couple of instances where people are fighting over goods trying to get what they can also try to drivers are saying that it costs more for gas than it does for the fares that they're receiving now all of this of course is coming after the election in december where the shakeout won with a significant percentage of the vote too much in fact the international community is saying that it was staged that it was a fraudulent election now before this election in a move that was considered to be populist to shake up raising the general minimum wage of the country fifty percent and for government employees thirty percent it's this move that speculators say is what devalued the currency on such a level now bellows has tried to go to the i.m.f. then back in may at the end of may they went and started the process to try and get a loan they were only asking for about three billion dollars but experts are saying that it's going to take between seven and ten billion u.s. dollars to bring some sort of normalcy inside the country so right now. very bad

situation inside hours. later this hour we've got some extreme action for you from our sports staff competition. where excitement and danger of go hand in hand we take a plunge into one of the most thrilling sports on the planet cliff diving. oh let's have all the latest financial news after a short break we to meet in business. well in a warm welcome to business r.t. russian president dmitry medvedev has outlined budget guidelines for the next two years top of the list is increasing the tax burden on the gas industry though grew

partly towards reducing the shortfall from a lower social tax the selling of state assets and revenues from oil and gas will also be used to make up the deficit and the fed if supported increasing alcohol and tobacco excise as the government wants to lessen the negative social impact of their consumption to discuss this speech in more detail i'm now joined by another lawyer she forgot myself a bank that's only because so much for being with us overall in general any surprises in that speech but i will say in the way it's a surprise for me it was a fan's that i had a fraction of the day as a real estate or that i would have to think about higher taxation on a number of sets the scene or course evolve the introduction of the fixation on the real estate so i think this is their hunger on the usual speech for the production they're very unpopular measures it seems so about increasing reducing the social tax first of all do you think this how much of a burden without even the budget what i would say is the cost of the social parts

to the low of thirty percent who watch companies twenty percent of small companies a potential brings the framing is wrong one hundred a year in two thousand and twelve so overall this is rope of. course this will suggest that if world prices would go higher russia will still do well because this will definitely increase the sensitivity of the world prices this is the bad news but i think first says his decision to leave it would like to address the concerns of the business community and this is a. well executed the finance minister has always been saying that russia keeps on increasing budget expenditure do you think this has to stop was there any mentioning of that from i don't know if you're looking for the exit for the first two or four months of this year you can. see that the increase of the expenditure side was ten percent a year while for example their general to april two thousand providers increased the france to two percent so there was this slow rate of expenditure growth but it's true the big speech has national who need to increase exceptional fanshen to

increase in some social era so i was watching the thing will be able to stop the expansion will finally increasing taxes on oil and gas. from tobacco and alcohol how much of a burden is that for the companies in this industry they've always been asking for tax breaks while it's true also have not heard the this proposal just in general saying that this has to go on it's also true that also the doesn't fly on a very good as opposed to the rest of the russian economy who can potentially survive on the high taxation but the problem is they're also that in this case will invest less sunglasses will limit think these potential increase of the russian excess capacity so class russian has seen called the result is the right i wish you could tell thank you so much for your business and for your time and i'm afraid that's all we have time for we will be back in fifteen minutes time with the
