the results. in business ten years after russia declares its default in like ninety eight the country met the two thousand and eight when actual question with a budget surplus but it's rough and now we're in for another perfect storm this is politics playing out. it's five pm in moscow this is r t coming to you live from a nice now with our top story this hour a billion dollar exhibit at an airstrip near moscow is promising lucrative deals for sellers and displays of the latest aircraft for spectators staring up at the sky but first public glimpse of russia's new fifth generation finder among wednesday's highlights.
9:02 am
street wives are rory's to say without max twenty eleven force rory we have course thought life here on r t but it must've been nothing like seeing you in the flesh tell us more about the day do you flight of russians t fifty. stunning and utterly deafening the debut of this ultra secretive t. fifty sukhoi superjet stealth fighter jet absolutely mind blowing to watch your low altitude maneuvers soaring high altitude when it was the noise coming off those engines was just something to witness for yourself i'd probably have course and possible damage to my hearing but when it comes to the pilot doing the sensational maneuvers just major g. forces in this t. t. fifty i can only imagine the pilot saw his lunch twice today now when it comes to the whole operation the whole deal with the ultra secretive t. fifty it was actually a deal between india and russia to develop it as partners here the idea is to build
9:03 am
about a thousand of them over the next decade or so hopefully have the t. fifty sukhoi in service by two thousand and fifteen now the west is certainly keeping a close watch on russia with the debut of this t fifty it is supposed to go head to head with america's f. twenty two raptor also the f. eighteen it is lighter it is faster the technology is more recent also it's more cost effective than the western counterparts now the prime minister vladimir putin he came here to view the debut of a view of the teeth if he was sitting just over to my right in a small arena watching the whole acrobatic stunt he gave in his stamp of approval and then disappeared from here so it's really been absolutely sensational the air shows but you know especially if you speak to some american flyboys who are here after a four year hiatus the americans are here again and i said to them i said you are pilots are you keeping a close watch on the debut of this t fifty you know super secret selves why they said yeah you know we're interested curious i said perhaps america has some low orbit satellites zooming in for this it should have a really really good look on the top cap and said you know i'm going to have to
9:04 am
just deny any knowledge of that whatsoever so i think denial speaks volumes and then you of course as i understand are a bit of an aircraft buff yourself of course you look a little bit cooler with your glasses on you took them off now it's more about what people like you are not just the billionaires who can actually find these planes what else is making people look up on this fact in day marks twenty eleven. well it in particular after the debut of the stealth fighter the t fifty we had the fantastic arrangement of the swifts the russian swifts and the russian knights all came up information they had the sukhoi twenty seven's on the small and make twenty nice notice notice we small of the makes all information out fine together again they were doing massive acrobatic maneuvers like the england's red arrows or america's blue angels absolutely stunning stuff so yeah you know it was amusing to watch that you know that the thousands of people here were just standing still like this. absolutely fantastic and perfect weather for it as well you know personally i
9:05 am
love the jets i love the fighter jets but i was really moved by a couple of iconic his history historical jets here we had the america's b. fifty two and the russian bear almost directly next to each other these were the two main long range nuclear bombs that were always patrolling high in the skies during the cold war and it was fascinating to notice as the children would walk by and they would have moggies the russian bear they would have my the b. fifty two but the elder generation the generation that lived through the cold war era they would stand there with a solemn look on their face i'd marring these old russian bear the b. fifty two and you can see their eyes you could tell they were thinking you know this was nearly the beginning of the end these two airplanes could have assured us mutually assured destruction with a nuclear war thank goodness it didn't happen but we've had a lovely time here today if you look over here you can see perhaps over here this is the man helicopter i-man helicopter robotic system there are many many other
9:06 am
drones behind it some drones as small as my leg i mean who knows really what's flying in the skies these days but when it comes to the issue of terminator and skynet it seems like those days are approaching faster than ever now in the meantime i really should not get up here i think go on like a schoolboy and surrounded by toys or boys with toys it's great fun here for us and i'll see about for now we'll go to a slightly more serious packager. talking about the debut of a russian passenger line about next right here on r.t. . this is one of the new hopes of russian aviation it's called the n.s.c. twenty one and it's talent it is an airline of the twenty first century there's a lot riding on the fate of this plane it represents the efforts of a russian aircraft industry that so far failed to break into international markets and it will have to be as modern as it says it is to survive the competition. as a sort of mid range passenger jet it will be going up against the likes of boeing seven three seven an airbus has a three twenty both well established planes its makers are fully aware of the
9:07 am
challenge ahead we understand it will not were not for us on this market. market. but we hope we will house for our whole market. will see. their comfort in the m s twenty one will be able to technically match its competitors with a third of it built like complicite materials and a totally new airframe it will save on that crucial substance field in the whole of one percent to present them. approximately fifteen percent or so of course operation of course. but the m.s. twenty one also follows the earlier sukhoi superjet was one of the first russian airliners built in years p.f. it's a being led by the united aircraft corporation which is trying to make russian plane
9:08 am
companies work together like air force was done in europe we use our engineers so engineers capacity from suporn. through. to political operative. it's early days yet but with a wealth of aeronautical engineering experience from soviet times hopes of flying high the m s twenty one will put a new generation of russian airliners up in the clouds from boston marty. but artie will continue to bring you the best of marks trying to eleven throughout the week so stay tuned for more highlights from on scowls jet powered air show. approach. to future flight.

takes to the. global markets have taken a nosedive after the leaders of the strongest economies fail to calm fears of a deepening crisis angela merkel and nicolas sarkozy call for the creation of a central economic body which would insured euro zone members take more financial responsibility but they brushed aside suggestions of expanding the e.u. bailout fund or releasing euro bonds to help keep the single currency afloat archies daniel bushell explains. the key decision is they have announced a single united euro zone government they also announced the corporation takes to unite the corporation taxes of germany and france so we're moving slowly towards a fiscal union which is what many had predicted but of course there's a small problem which is the people of europe haven't been lost because sarkozy the president of france faces an election next year where he's already trailing behind his rivals and suspected this may make him even more important because the people
9:10 am
of europe probably know this but in polls in opinion polls they say that they don't use one excludes the european integration angela merkel the chancellor of germany says they showed great courage to do this and they dismissed the use of euro bourne's which many have said would be the solution agreed eventually they said that europeans are not a miracle they're not a cure and france and germany won't guarantee other countries did so they refused. the rising problems in countries like italy and spain they also denounced the rumors and speculation and said they'd fight against this. that they say are trying to bring down the euro tax on financial transactions was also announced. that the purpose was to harmonize economies and taxes across europe so a very wide range of proposals on offer here. human rights groups are boycotting
9:11 am
a british inquiry into allegations of torture saying the government is taking an irresponsible approached and kate's activists insist the probe is a waste of time and public money because downing street will have the final say over whether or not to disclose the result. that one torture victim who also couts the inquiry will bring justice. walking a tightrope of pain persis gave it to merge that's how britain security agencies were encouraged to decide when to torture terror suspects. was held by graham in afghanistan and in guantanamo bay between two thousand and two and two thousand and five he says he was tortured and accuses the u.k. of being complicit in that torture only now is the level of the official complicity being revealed i am completely one hundred percent sure that i would not have gone to order but rather had it not been could be british intelligence services i spoke
9:12 am
to british intelligence offices quite regularly. but. they were physically present when i was being abused they saw my. lecture. me they saw my according to policy documents seen by the guardian newspaper senior m i five and m i six agents were asked to weigh up the quality of information they might obtain with the level of mistreatment a prisoner would suffer and if it was worth it to go ahead and the city international says there's a mounting pile of credible evidence on the extent to which britain was involved in torture is yet another document that's been hidden for perry long time that's just been released that shows that there was you know perhaps circumstances in which. you know ministers were very senior officials authorised agents to participate in situations where it was more likely than not the torture would occur there's
9:13 am
a police investigation into torture allegations underway and as soon as that's finished an inquiry will begin but it's already come under fire the policy on interrogation and other relevant documents may not be made public which is good human rights groups so much that they've refused to give evidence or go to inquiry meetings. there's also control to see about the chair of the investigation so peter gibson used to be the intelligence services commissioner the government doesn't see a conflict of interest there but many m.p.'s do we have to have confidence that the judge presiding is not somebody who has been heavily involved she can service in the future in the past and i think on that point it fails powerful people including tony blair jack straw and david miliband have refused to reveal whether they knew their policy led to a number of people being tortured but the list is an agent who wrote it knew the
9:14 am
public would be outraged according to the guardian it includes warnings that if it got out the policy could lead to increased radicalization. agrees it's true that anybody would get radicalized in the types of torture that took place however when the government said that they will hold to account those people were involved in or should we take them to the wood and if the government then goes against that and so we'll have this inquiry but it's going to be in secret you won't get to see those people involved in your torture and then people will lose. any supporting any idea that the government is actually going to approach him. justice many fear the inquiries that speak it solely will be ineffective and the second one will be necessary at vast expense but there's also concern that creeping revelations about just how complicit the u.k. has been in torture and extraordinary rendition will lead to further radicalize
9:15 am
they should whatever happens it's clear we haven't heard the last of britain's involvement in torture your anecdotes he wanted. coming out a quarter past the hour still ahead for you the worst oil spill in decades in british waters well i think you want to do something for the green groups say well how grave consequences for the environment. but first a major anti terror operation is underway in russia's north caucasus republic of the six militants and two policemen have been killed and a major terrorist attack involving massive quantities of explosives prevented archies medina questionable reports two russian servicemen were killed when a group of militants attacked a the column off the russian military forces of the republic of dagestan everything happened during a search operation that was carried out of by of the russian troops and you know wooden areas of the republic they were looking for the militants who earlier farida
9:16 am
point the russian military forces earlier on a choose the night and so the moment of the fighting continues and what we know so far is that six militants have been killed in that battle basically at the same time and very near to the location of the fighting russian federal security services have a defeat used a bomb with an m. presidential and a massive amount of one hundred kilograms of t.n.t. the bomb plus also files with a destructive components and the explosive device was hidden in a pride that was a lying at the back of the car that was part of a very near to the market it was the remove the control to a bomb ass of the criminals installed homemade electricity donators onto it and the russian committee. it was the people who first noticed the suspicious looking car being part and still they called the police and meanwhile it's not the first time for such clients according to russia's alpha's b.

has quite recently another large scale attack and those time on the russian railways in the moscow region was prevented says by the special forces. to iran says it's ready to resume international negotiations on its disputed nuclear program because states use russians efforts as a key to restarting the talks that's according to the iranian foreign minister was on a visit to moscow to ron's currently under four sets of u.n. sanctions to know how smart or sure of course is always been against this approach to the iranian nuclear agenda saying that the only way out is a diplomatic one and that enforcing further sanctions on iran would only worsen the situation and it's proposal is a step by step plan which has been deemed acceptable by the iranian side and also cautiously welcomed by the united nations security council and that plan proposes a greater openness in the return all the reigning in officials to the negotiation
9:18 am
table in return for a gradual removal of all of the un imposed sanctions against iran of the iranian side is said to be very satisfied with the russians proposal of this step by step program and said that it is prepared to open its doors to international observers. make sure that. representatives from the international atomic energy agency from the united nations security council can see that iran is not interested in creating nuclear weapons it only wants to have an existing peaceful nuclear energy program but it will not tolerate any further sanctions against it will see those sanctions as basically an infringement on its right to peaceful nuclear energy and this is exactly where russia's step by step plan comes in and seemingly of course satisfies both sides we'll of course have to wait to see how that plan is implemented and
9:19 am
whether it is as effective in reality as it has been so far in words. still ahead this hour new evidence of negligence workers that anthropocene appliance say the cooling system was doomed to fail before the facility was hit by the more tsunami. the oil giant shell's still doesn't know what caused the leak at one of its north sea platforms the company was forced to admit it's responsible for the worst spill in british waters for more than a decade about thirteen hundred barrels have leaked so far shell confirmed it's still struggling to control it secondly it said the first pipe rupture is now under control and the flow of oil into the sea is down to one barrel a day but greenpeace has criticized the company for taking too long to make information about the spill public adam on energy analysts from the environmental organization platform says a lack of transparency is a worrying sign. what's important here is that you create
9:20 am
a woman. claiming that it's regulatory in your breasts unfit for purpose and resilient against a consequence of. not suppressed fear i remember this example still calls for those crimes and question it's a particularly since two. year for. burglary . and or so she was in prison and well it's hard and difficult unplugging the stock in the big players of all the moving growth in the recent past and more than charles using dispersants there isn't one highly controversial. on the uses our own questionable because for the who is for it or and the smaller groups and more difficult for. proper motion structurally. still newer form surface government employees even to the stores to climb in the pool don't have adequate information
9:21 am
coming from shore certainly insurers and probably quite large across the in the broker world are for sure has almost very small bits of information and there's been no official statements coming from an embarrassing or foreign members of the company including c o n where the player was gone to question the seriousness through which the compensation solution. let's take a look now at some other stories from around the world an explosion in southeast turkey close to the iraqi border has killed eight soldiers and wounded several others turkish officials say the troops died after their military vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb suspect kurdish militants were behind the attack last month twenty people died in a clash between turkish soldiers and members of a kurdish rebel group that has been calling for autonomy of the area for almost two decades. the u.n. says it's hold out non-essential staff from syria where president bashar is hoped
9:22 am
to end the five month uprising against his regime it comes after the syrian army reportedly withdrew from the eastern city of gear with witnesses saying they saw a convoys of army vehicles leaving the area activists say at least thirty two people have been killed since troops its control of the city in a crackdown last week and it's believed over eighteen hundred people have been killed since the uprising began in march. workers at the fukushima nuclear facility in japan say that further structural cracks have been found at the plant and that it's releasing radioactive steam they also say that the pipes in at least one of the reactors were seriously damaged before the devastating tsunami hit the area in march but the allegations raise concerns that the facility was doomed even before the earthquake triggered the disaster problems with deteriorating pipes that the plant had been reported for years the cooling system failed to stop reactors going into meltdown after it was hit by
9:23 am
a forty meter high waves the plant has been leaking radioactive material since the disaster despite efforts to clean it up well dr robert j. cups of the hiroshima peace institute says but the evidence brings into question japan's nuclear safety. there is certainly a great deal of evidence that appears to suggest that the first reactor reactor number one was melting down but that's when the tsunami hit so eventually. case that the reactor was melting down as a result of the earthquake and not as a result of the tsunami a nine point or the quake is something that has the potential to happen throughout japan and that would put the reliability and the design safety of all of these reactors in question so when you have a fragile structure that's already suffered a great deal of damage and you have continual aftershocks at the level of six point zero there's there's been some even higher. what we have now is we have the radioactive core that has melted down into the basement into the bottom of the
9:24 am
containment vessel of these reactors and if the radiation level is going down where it's being monitored inside the buildings and if the water pressure is going down and the temperature is going down it's not as though the radiation is just suddenly going away it means that the radioactive material the melted core is simply moving further away from where it's being measured earthquakes even when they happen at a high level they're not individual events they're followed by a series of subsequent or quakes and so we're seeing now that these reactors were not safe for earthquakes let alone fortunately. this is next here on r t with kareena stay with us. out on top as this hour all the seventeenth has a dark day in russia for nasa has to come from the clay it's only to fall back on line in one thousand nine hundred eight caught between a fall and could prices of the asian crisis also was caught short ten years on the
9:25 am
continent that the financial crisis of two thousand and eight plus i'm now with could only add markets and turmoil are we in for another perfect storm across until inspiral and nascar to. talk about this hello good to see you roll into other duck outs on the horizon. there are clouds on the horizon i think are they right and actually last week it was all a very chaotic period of time last week things are a little bit clearer markets have stabilized they priced in a great deal of uncertainty last week and where we are hopeful that things stabilize now and valuations will again become important but you know it's another typical in russia a lot of chaos unfortunately but now some say that the one thousand nine hundred forty was due to wrong economic policy but is the current one safe enough you think . the nine hundred ninety eight crisis may give them i would look like
9:26 am
a walk in the park i mean ninety ninety eight the equity market lost ninety three percent of its value last week the russian market lost about fifty percent of its value it hurt but it was nothing compared to the ninety ninety eight russia has moved on a lot further for a day you know russia or russia now performs along saw it a lot of the other emerging markets a lot of longsight a lot of the developed markets and looks to its lead from there in ninety nine zero eight it was really a case of its own and a pretty terrible period for anybody had to get through it well russia largely depends on oil prices what else could rock economic stability in this country apart from from the fluctuating crude prices we're seeing. i think you know you've got economic growth in this country now growth should be even given the uncertainty at the moment going on in europe grow to be about four percent for this year that's
9:27 am
not that's not bad actually in the current environment. the exchange rate is a lot more flexible than it was before the banking system is really quite stable you've got some money leaving the country but again not nearly as much as that it's a very very different place you know people are investing people are building businesses in a way that just didn't exist in the in the late ninety's we've had ten years old you know there's been a lot of volatility but relatively speaking it's stable compared to the previous ten years well and so what are the chances that the current market volatility that we're seeing could spare any serious economic problems. if it continues you know if the volatility that we saw last week becomes the new norm then yeah absolutely we're going to be living in we're going to be living through another crisis but you know i think it would be i think it would be very dangerous to us to the last week is something normal rather than something that was you know came out of the blue quite frankly there are very big major structural issues in europe that need to be
9:28 am
addressed but the growth is coming out of places like i and south america and to a lesser extent russia but also russia that's really what's driving global growth nowadays so europe has to deal with their issues if europe can deal with their issues then i don't think the outlook for russia needs to be any think it should be described as a crisis ok thanks very much will a nascar parent capital thanks for thank you well that's all we have time for in this edition of business report but you can join me in about forty five minutes from. it's absurd.
