there were many countries who wanted to bring this tournament to their home soil and were very proud and happy that this really became mantissa here in russia. two time olympic champion and they had yet to taste the world championship victory going into this final in the russian capital perhaps it was that short haul charging them forward in all five disciplines of the world championship after finishing first in fencing and a moyes dave posted the six best results in the swimming events which still end him in overall first intermediate place another russian that's once it's in the world championship runner up and xander list soon was on the heels of his teammates staying close in third place throughout the tournament thanks in this show jumping events both local leaders displayed a near perfect performance and retained their first and third places going into the final phase of the competition only one writer managed to complete the show jump in peace without any points deducted and that's hungary's as i'm sure all see who

eventually won the bronze thanks so three russian men had a chance to sweep the podium in the last running and shooting events commonly known as they come blind andre moyes dave and alexander listen obviously had the better chances in that's all three while they're compassionate for a lot of face that suffered sassed from fit place and it was a dream come true for the two time olympic champion and they might say who finally claimed the world championship gold after winning four of the five events for stressed the crowd was i'm very happy. i want to it's my first victory at the world championships and that's even more significant but i also have to admit that our country has always had great traditions and pentathlon and this means that my generation should do its best to keep up with alexander listened was brilliant at the range as his shooting skills have been rewarded with a bump from the tournaments bronze to silver medal while in the air for love only managed to climb up to an overall fourth denying the local crowd the pleasure of

seeing three russian flags on the podium for medical the rush at the start of a telephone competition from over the next three days and says another three sets of medals stated exactly as we like as well as the next really great three months off from our team possible yet still plenty of action there are all this for for now though whether it's next class. bringing you the latest in science and technology from the realms. we've got the huge you're covered.

stronger relations for mutual benefit russia and the u.k. agreeing not to allow their divided opinions are issues including the lisbon ngo scandal and the resolution of the syrian crisis to stand in the way of their political and economic partnership. and to find out whether or not prime minister david cameron would have been a good k.g.b. agent joined me and used to now wait for details from the kremlin. generating power iran plugs its first nuclear plant into the national grid the facility at bushehr was filled with russian help. italy moves closer to the center of the eurozone debt crisis as its crucial austerity package enters a final stage triggering a new wave of protests tough spending cuts. and the euro has that problems

thrive and so national stock markets down with the r.t.s. closing more than three and a half percent in the red we'll have all the details for you in business in science minutes. seven pm in moscow i'm at tresor good to have you with us here on r t our top story unsolved issues in russia and the u.k. relationship should not stand in the way of healthy and profitable cooperation outs with the leaders of both states concluded at a meeting of the crown one or two years and you say no way has more on the outcome of the first official visit by a british prime minister to russia in six years. president it's made of call the talks direct and constructive david cameron called them axel would the two leaders have pretty much agreed to disagree on their sticking points saying that they have

to be able to move forward in other spheres especially business a lot of talk at least in the news conference a lot of questions about the litigate the case and how that will if it will really continue to in fact ties just to remind you alexander litvinenko was a former russian security officer who was poisoned with polonium and died in london i diplomatic spat broke out between the u.k. and russia after that british authorities wanted to actually buy russian citizen army will go boy but according to the russian constitution in fact article sixty one which president has made it reminded david cameron once again today doesn't allow for the russian federation to actually date its citizens to another country to be tried both sides saying that they don't want litvinenko to effect any further growth i david cameron went as far to say that the issue is not part of what we will continue to grow in other spheres let's stick with us it remains an issue between britain and russia and we haven't changed our position about that and the

russians haven't changed their position but i don't think that means that we freeze the entire relationship it's not parking an issue is just recognizing there is a disagreement that hasn't changed the two countries are changing their arrangements because of it but we should work on our relationship beyond that to get through the years of course work together in many different formats including the g twenty the g eight the un security council in both sides spoke about that in terms of the most pressing international issues they spoke about libya and it turns out they spent most of their time speaking about the situation in syria david cameron mentions that he believes that that sanction should go even further and president meets with him. he said out here are you at red doesn't think what's happening in syria is right and something needs to be done but by no means can this turn in to another libya crisis russia believes the resolution in syria should be

tough but at the sinks on balance to address to both teams in the syrian conflict president assad and the opposition only then can such a resolution succeed it should be tough but not automatically sanctions syria is already under e.u. and u.s. sanctions it doesn't need additional pressure so certainly no major breakthrough in british russian relations but a very positive atmosphere considering that a british official at that level hasn't been in moscow on a visit like this in so long positive atmosphere lots of laughs in fact one of the last questions asked apple's conference by the b.b.c. to david cameron asking him about rumors that he was possibly recruited or attempted to be recruited into the k.g.b. back in the ninety's cameron said he doesn't think he would be a very good k.g.b. agent president needed to beg to differ well i'm pretty sure that david would be a good k.g.b. agent but in this case he would never have become the u.k.'s prime minister the

official visit at this level ended on quite a light no lots of laughs there after that joke about the k.g.b. and david cameron also back with prime minister vladimir putin and members of the civil society where the focus there was on human rights a professor of politics of university of kent dr adrian pabst says the u.k. and russia are currently facing many similar economic difficulties which to never be together they could overcome. britain and russia suffer from a lack of diversification just as britain depends too much in financial services so russia depends too much on natural resources like oil and gas so both the economy need to diversify but this is not just a national issue for them this is also a global issue we know that a huge imbalance is there's lots of hot money circulating that money needs to be channeled into productive activities in britain in russia and elsewhere and i think there is mutual benefit from cooperate in areas like knology where britain can certainly help russia take spittles on its not so was also as we know this from

energy and in other areas but also you know russian investment in britain is also important to all sorts of areas like civil aviation even the car industry where the two countries could envisage some form of technological exchange the need to build a high tech manufacturing in the industrial base across europe and it seems to me that britain and russia have to cooperate on very precisely in this field as russia and the u.k. mull over their differences in approaches to the crisis in syria now was steaming ahead with efforts to mediate the peace process russian lawmakers are hosting a delegation from damascus after holding talks with the opposition last week president bashar al assad's advisor says her country would appreciate a fact finding mission by russian officials that moscow has promised to send anti-government demonstrations in syria flared up in march with the regime responding with brutal crackdowns at least twenty six hundred people said to have been killed russia wants the u.n. to take action that will push the warring sides toward dialogue and says assad

needs more time to implement democratic reforms u.s. and its allies want a more aggressive approach that will target the regime and have already tripled for assad to step down. iran's to share nuclear plant has officially started operating and now providing electricity into the country's national grid it's the first such facility in the entire middle east region of the loucheux was following the launch into share. this is a truly historic day for iran as its first nuclear power plant in here is joining the national energy grid it's going to start operating at thirty five to forty percent of its capacity that is the plight thirty five to forty percent of energy and it's going to reach the hundred percent potential within the next couple of months now this is something that has been in the making for a very long time this is a joint russia iran venture russia's adam story expert has been a bigger helping the rhenium side of instruction of this nuclear power plant specially since the one nine hundred ninety eight the opening of the plants has

been attended by russia's energy minister and also by the head of story expert both of whom have underlines the importance also suspension of four goals countries now russia's energy minister has said that a look seriously of course conducted by russia and iran she was think think for nies with international standards to give the would only rate income for its win through difficulties and problems building plans and today we can be proud to the results that are drawing the attention of the whole world i'm sure gratian in upgrading the station and developing now the nuclear energy projects will be distinguished by the atmosphere we created by working together you have to remember that this is the first nuclear power plant in the middle east so we should never underestimate its importance it's absolutely integral to iran now russia is going to supply the fuel for the power plants and it's also going to discard all the fuel this is going to continue for the next three years so russian engineers and specialists will stay at the plant will stay in iran for the next couple of years

but then afterwards they will slowly and it over to the iranian side and then by two thousand and fifteen. the plants will should become fully operators why iran on its own like we said this is a very important venture for both iran and russia and of the there is a lot of hope for this power plant which is which has just become operational in bush here in iran. stay with us here on our t.v. coming your way tension in the middle east we report how israel is becoming recently isolated in the region after the events of the arab spring. but first global markets slump monday over a fear that italy's debt crisis is worsening as the country's fifty four billion euro austerity package goes before the lower house of parliament for a final debate the government plans to make changes to the way it's rural communities are run but some people are beginning to lose faith in the government's ability to make the right decisions for bennett went to one rebellious town hoping

to break free of rome's rule. welcome to filipino a small town in the middle of it really but also claims to be an independent principality and to prove it it's even started printing its own money a man on a new note says town mayor lucas solari now self-proclaimed prince i guess everyone dreams of being a prince when they're little boy and so did i now i get to live that dream philip dinos going solo in protest over government plans to slash council funding he wants all towns to merge having the number of local authorities with a population of just six hundred filipino and it's a mayor and for the chop. it's a terrible idea because it makes no 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 to get rid of them instead of italy's in deep debt one hundred twenty percent of g.d.p. the second highest in europe but unions are 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 the term and 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 constitutional hurdles but since autonomy is not illegal it could just be a matter of time but the moment these notes aren't legal tender they just souvenirs that the plan is to theory to be worth one euro and for this to be the only currency they could be spent in the shops and restaurants here business. it's

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 the track to 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 villa tino's the source of rose water supply and that may is threatening to cut it off if he doesn't get what he wants out of bennett r.t. filipino italy as financial woes echo deeper engineer ozone fears are growing that green be heading away from the euro and able to contain its debt crisis you know harvard overbuilt editor in chief of belgium's leading business magazine things are greece should jump ship but the greek economy is in an outright depression now

g.d.p. is a shrinking at the moment seven to eight percent on an annual basis unemployment is officially at sixteen percent but in reality it's more close to twenty five percent what we hear from people from the i.m.f. informally is that the buttered situation is out of control so there's no way that greek it can greece can escape from this situation unless there's a somewhat orderly exit from the eurozone followed by a huge devaluation of the new greek currency i think we have passed the point now where we can argue that we can safely greece within the euro zone greece will ask alexy it can be organized in an orderly way but the risk is of course that there will be contagion in the direction of countries like for example portugal maybe ireland and of course i'm not even mentioning here that would be an enormous problem the countries like spain. greece is planning to impose

a new property tax to address its budget deficit thousands of people joining together at the weekend protesting against the cuts and increased taxes imposed to secure international rescue loans just over an hour we talked with the greek m.p. who believes eurozone membership has harmed not helped his country's financial well being. with the help of the european union greek farmers have stopped producing can you imagine the country like greece right now conk feed its people we don't produce enough meat we don't produce enough we leave an oil we are importing and we had the scheme from the good opinion that farmers were paid so that they wouldn't reduce anything. we destroyed. maimed the main assets of our economy the investments that were made the beautiful . only to sell germany you know what's the biggest investment it's made in

greece for the past ten years super markets. and we ended up buying german pro decks buying german because maybe greece borrowed a lot of money the past ten years they do you know from germany especially why don't you check out how much money germany has made out of greece the past ten years you'll discover that it's more than what we borrowed. auguries morning israel it faces a growing regional isolation as turkey's prime minister arrives on a visit to egypt the prime minister is expected to cement closer ties with cairo both countries experiencing recently strained relations with the jewish state on friday night a raging knob in egypt's capital storm the israeli embassy forcing its stock to flee entourage expelled israeli diplomats last week over israel's refusal to

apologize for killing nine turks during last year's raid on a gaza bound aid flotilla turkish prime minister aziz says the attack was a cause for war but that is true as country chose to refrain from aggression and middle east analyst jonathan spyer says the implications of the arab spring and israel's position unavoidable. it's important to remember that there are there a process is underway in the region right now which are in no way which israel can in no way really exert any influence on we are in the midst it might be said of a tectonic shift actually in the strategic picture of the middle east the government need to want to continue to have a general atmosphere of non simply to israel and so western and so israeli rhetoric and at the same time in reality they are dependent on american support and one of the aspects of turkey's move towards making a bid for regional leadership is once again the the very distinct cooling of to put it mildly its relations with israel so these approaches is of historical magnitude which israel can't really influence israel in a certain sense is only going to be able to pursue

a policy of damage limitation hoping very much to keep these relationships with egypt with turkey as much as they possibly can doesn't really matter right now exactly what israel does israel is going to be increasingly isolated it's going to be put in a very defensive situation and that i think is the reality in the region we're looking forward to at the moment. the only surviving hockey player of wednesday's locomotive plane crash has died in the hospital twenty six year old alexander galad died from severe burns to his body and respiratory system the plane carrying russia's k. joe hockey team crashed in central russia last week the squad was heading to belarus for the season's first game more than one hundred thousand mourners gathered to honor the players in their hometown the ceremonies also be held in native countries of foreign players kill a crew member from the plane and now the only survivor of the forty five people aboard doctors say his condition is serious but state. turning now to some other stories making headlines across the globe thirty two people close to libya's fall
