now i am the russian capital you're watching r t i'm marina joshie welcome to the program a huge chance to saw frozen ties with russia the british prime minister's description of his official visit to moscow the first by u.k. leaders since two thousand and five relations between the two countries have been strained in recent years over a number of issues notably the poisoning death of a former russian security agent in london well as now across life to respond to the now we for more on david cameron's visit so that he's a looks like there's a lot for the british and russian leaders to focus on today so what issues will be in the spotlight. well it looks like the both sides have agreed to disagree pretty much the show must go on and both russia and britain understand it looks like they're going to focus mostly on common ground and that means the financial and business here this is the first time says thousand and five that a british prime minister is in moscow some six years full of many issues on which
1:02 am
the two quincy idea why it lacks mutual understanding let's not forget the bitter yank osogbo of course were russian security officer former i should say russian security officer alexander litvinenko was poisoned by polonium and died in london that was followed by a diplomatic row expulsions and pretty much although not official was severing of ties on the highest level also over the past couple of years british authorities reluctant to actually die russian citizens wanted by courts here in moscow we've also seen spied scandals as well as the scandal with the british council here and just just a lot of issues that have really interrupted moving forward in both russia and britain one thought to stop we're hearing from officials on both sides that it's time to move forward and focus on a common ground of course exactly what the two leaders will speak about will become very clear when they hold a new. conference here at the kremlin later today. well
1:03 am
a lot to be ironed out and they are so it seems a but so what are the issues that the two sides see eye to eye on. both countries understand their responsibility as major economies in light of the financial crisis there's a major deal under work under works between shell and russia's gas from a force in the energy sphere and bruce investment in russia has reached forty billion dollars by the end of twenty times so both the leaders and of course business men alike one fat relationship to continue to develop in the positive light that it's been doing so since the global financial crisis of two thousand and eight both countries are holding upcoming olympic games london in twenty twelve russia sochi and twenty fourteen there are also both building major innovation cities here so look like valley skolkovo project is well underway in england an
1:04 am
industrial city in east london so they certainly have a lot that they can talk about and that's just in bilateral relations they are certainly going to be touching the most pressing global issues and we're hearing on the top of that agenda will be libya let's not forget that britain along with france were two of the first countries to really push to secure that u.n. resolution to go into libya and with some of the first forces in the country there also going to be speaking about syria and perhaps you want nuclear program as well we're not expecting any kind of major breakthrough out these talks but certainly both sides are hoping that this is at least the first steps or perhaps even the beginning of a reset. all right elise thanks very much indeed for bringing us the sub date and he's now where. italy's much disputed fifty four billion euros terribly package to slash the country's crippling debt will go through a final debate at the lower house of parliament on monday it would increase taxes and cut government spending to balance the budget by two thousand and thirteen but
1:05 am
constant changes to the plan and squabbling between lawmakers as damaged people's faith in it and as i've abandoned reports there's a town that's decided it doesn't want to wait for the cuts. welcome to filipino a small town in the middle of italy that also claims to be an independent principality and to prove it it's even started printing its own money the man on the new note says town mayor lucas a lhari now self-proclaimed prince i guess everyone dreams of being a prince when they're a little boy and so did i now i get to live that dream filipinos going solo in protest over government plans to slash council funding it wants small towns to merge having the number of local authorities with a population of just six hundred philip tino and its mayor for the chop but.
1:06 am
it's a terrible idea because it makes economic sense we have everything here to be autonomous and besides the neighboring towns or at least thirty kilometers away so it's not practically possible it wouldn't even save that much money most regional administrations do nothing we should get rid of them instead of the cancer part of a forty five billion euro austerity package italy's in deep debt one hundred twenty percent of g.d.p. the second highest in europe but unions a furious with the cuts accusing the government of punishing those already at their poorest even some of silvio berlusconi's own allies now oppose them with amendments piling up but filipinos fed up determined to be the next san marino a constitutional republic within italy that has no national debt a rare thing in europe the methinks the town can live off its natural resources of wood and water but currently profits go to private companies there are
1:07 am
constitutional hurdles but since autonomy is not illegal it could just be a matter of time at the moment these notes are legal tender just souvenirs but the plan is for two theory to be worth one euro and for this to be the only current. they could be spent in the shops and restaurants here business is always been slow in this sleepy town but shopkeepers hope the new money will bring new cash. i'm sure that once we start using the new currency the economic situation here will significantly improve it will have a positive effect on tourism of course attracting meet people to the town. far from being a p.r. stunt filipino means business and berlusconi knows it he's visiting the town later this month to stave off the rebellion and he'll have a fight on his hands filipino is the source of rome's water supply and that may is threatening to cut it off if he doesn't get what he wants either bennett's r.t.

peaceful and are not aimed at building nuclear weapons. sunday was an emotional day for americans remembering the victims of the nine eleven attacks exactly ten years ago thousands gathered in new york avenue memorial at ground zero and students silence while the names of the three thousand people who died were read aloud ten years ago terrorists crashed hijacked planes into the twin towers of the world trade center in new york and the pentagon building in washington d.c. one more plane came down in the state of pennsylvania and the u.s. responded with invasions in iraq and afghanistan for which it was hugely criticized author and journalist afshin rattansi says washington's response to the attack was inadequate and will eventually backfire. i think institutional structures even in a country as advanced as the sole superpower on earth for the many people have said
1:13 am
the institutional and bureaucratic procedures didn't allow them to shoot down those planes before they hit the world trade center and so forth but perhaps a bigger malays here is that all systems seem to have failed the media the courts the police forces the intelligence agencies government. this happens when i start to fold the response from the united states to nine eleven was was so catastrophic very wrong that. someone would love him i don't get what he wants but people all around the world are being affected. so badly by us policy lots of people in the global south still remember how their countries have been distorted or destroyed so many ways but i think american intervention of afghanistan. previously the soviet union. has proved again and again very dangerous for the superpowers involved afghanistan is not an easy place for america to take over and i think you're more
1:14 am
if when i last time it because i'd say his first responsibility is to the afghanistan people who say that in public and then to the wider region not to the united states so the idea that the united states can take succor from what's happened in afghanistan i don't think so and as to democracy building democracy building needs to be created from the ground up but it took a huge toll on the american economy as well and it's a sad day for some with a sad day for those who believe in the constitution the original constitution of united states of america one of the greatest ever and see how superpowers they rise and they fall. other exclusive nine eleven stories and much more be sure to check out our web site and here's what's on line right now nearly ninety percent of afghans have no knowledge of the september eleventh attacks against the u.s. or the reasons why. some surprising an exclusive video
