international news and comment live from a headquarters here in central moscow this is the unsolved issues in russia u.k. relations should not stand in the way of healthy and profitable corporation that's what the leaders of the two states concluded after their meeting at the kremlin audi's and he said now he has more now on the outcome of the first official visit by a british prime minister to russia for six years. president medvedev called the talks direct and constructive david cameron called them excellent 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 to remind you alexander litvinenko was a former russian security officer who was poisoned with polonium and died in london i deploy batiks broke out between the u.k. and russia after that british authorities wanted tax to fight russian citizens on today will go boy but according to the russian constitution in fact article sixty one which president medvedev reminded david cameron once again today doesn't allow for the russian federation to extradite its citizens to another country to be tried both sides saying that they don't want litvinenko to effect any further growth by david cameron went as far to say that the issue is not parks but we will continue to grow in other spheres let's take the us it remains an issue between britain and russia and we haven't changed opposition 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 on changing their arrangements because of it but we should work on our relationship beyond that through the years of course work together in many different formats including the g twenty the g eight the un security council and both sides spoke about that in terms of the most pressing international issues they spoke about livia and it turns out they spent most of their time speaking about the situation in syria david cameron mentioned that he believes that that sanctions should go even further and president medvedev . to doubt that he or you would read it 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 let's just get russia believes the resolution in syria should be tough but at the same time balance to address to both parties in the syrian conflict president assad and the opposition only then can such a resolution succeed it should be tough but not automatically include sanctions

syria is already under a un 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 at the news 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 present meditative beg to differ david 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 met with prime minister vladimir putin and members of the

civil society where the focus there was on human rights. as russia and the u.k. mole their differences over approaches to the crisis in syria moscow is steaming ahead with its efforts to mediate peace there and 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 which moscow has promised to send any day now and the government demonstrations in syria flared up in march with the regime responding with brutal crackdowns at least two thousand six hundred people are said to been killed. since the un to take action that would push the warring sides towards dialogue and says assad needs more time to implement democratic reforms but the u.s. and its allies want a more aggressive approach that will target the regime and have already called for assad to step down. iran's bushehr nuclear power plant has officially begun operating and is now providing electricity to the country's national grid it's the first such facility in the entire middle east region and artie's an

integral has been following the launch in bushehr. this is a truly historic day for iran as its first nuclear power plant and bush era is joining the national energy grid it's going to start operating at thirty five to forty percent of its capacity that is the 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 vigorously helping the rhenium side of construction of this nuclear power plant specially since the one nine hundred ninety eight the opening of the plant has been attended by russia's energy minister and also by the head of story expert both of whom have underlines the importance. for both countries now russia's energy minister has said that all exhibits of course conducted by russia and iran should be used with international standards we rate income to parts went through difficulties and

problems building the plant and today we can be proud to the results that are drawing the attention of the whole world i'm sure for the corporation in operating the station and developing now the nuclear energy projects who will be distinguished by the atmosphere we created while 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 no russia is going to supply the fuel for the power plants and it's also going to discard off the fuel and 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 handed over to the iranian side and then by two thousand and fifteen. the plant will should become fully operated by iran on its own like we said this is a very important venture for both iran and russia and. there is a lot of hope for this power plant which is which has just become operational in

the share in iran. well shortly to come this hour for you here in r.t.e. israel in growing isolation we report on how some of the jewish state's name is a brimming with anti israeli sentiment in the wake of the arab spring. the first global markets slumped on monday of a fears that italy's debt crisis is worsening as the country's fifty four billion euro a sturdy package goes before the lower house of parliament for 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 their government's ability to make the right decisions. bennett went to one rebellious town that wants to break free from the rule of. 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 a 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 teano and its mayor for the chop. it's a terrible idea because it makes no economic sense we have everything here to be autonomous and besides our neighboring towns are 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 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 constitutional hurdles but since autonomy is not illegal it could just be a matter of time at the moment these notes aren't legal tender just souvenirs but the plan is for two theory to be worth one euro and for this to be the only currency they could be spent in the shops and restaurants here be. this 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 more 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 the mayor is threatening to cut it off if he doesn't get what he wants either bennett r.t. filipino italy. as financial worries echo deeper inside the euro zone fears are growing that greece could be heading away from the euro unable to contain its debt crisis. the editor in chief of belgium's leading business magazine the trends thinks that greece should jump ship but the greek economy is in an outright depression now g.d.p. is shrinking at the moment seven to eight percent on an annual basis unemployment is of crucially 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 budget situation is out of control so there's no way that greek 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 see for greece within the euro zone greece will have to exit 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 of course i'm not even mentioning here that would be an enormous problem countries like spain. as warning israel it faces growing regional isolation as the turkish prime minister arrives on a visit to egypt better one is expected to cement closer ties with caro with both countries experiencing recently strained relations with tel aviv on friday night

a raging mob in the egyptian capital stormed and sacked the israeli embassy forcing its staff to flee the spot after five egyptian officers were killed in a border clash with israeli forces last month meanwhile expelled israeli diplomats last week television the fusil to apologize for killing nine turks during last year's raid on a garden bound aid flotilla. turkish prime minister says the attack was a cause for war but his country chose to refrain from aggression well let's cross live now to istanbul and get some perspective from professor. thank you very much indeed professor just to confirm you can hear me there in istanbul. so great now the turkish prime minister has taken a very tough stance against israel lately just how influential is turkey now becoming in the middle east. while in the.

last couple of days last couple of years the turkey is very influential in the middle east problem and. in the middle east there. will be all of. this bombing. because it gives a good. to talk about the anti israeli sentiment we're seeing in egypt at the moment can you give us an idea of why that's happening and indeed this is not just a recent sentiment but it's been quite deep rooted in the past. well actually it seems that the peace agreement egypt made with israel did not or at least see in the last couple of months people don't believe in it anymore and especially the killing of egyptian soldiers by israeli security forces

that fueled for paul the. ongoing fire so that's why we have him back is really a sentiment we should distinguish rather than on ok can we see the same sort of feelings against israel from the turks though that same sort of anger in the future . well. i mean especially the government the government officials. people are very very upset of impact the summary execution of law in turkish activists in international waters and what made it worse of course is will stand against not really taking the necessary steps to simply calm the situation down so people are really angry what happened in turkey and they believe that by simply you cannot go around killing people and especially

from the mind activists they took. thirty five bullets and many of them the united nations good account. indicates that from a close range they were shot their people are very angry when we've been talking about a couple of incidents that provoked this feeling against israel but it's fair to say this arab spring has actually generated. israeli sentiment not just in egypt but elsewhere and it's something that maybe israel should be very worried about as a result of what we've been seeing these so-called democratic change or attempt for democratic change in the middle east something that israel should be not concerned about. well i don't think so i mean my posts an opinion although the issue is. is will based policy not

only international about also internally there is a constant very strong. anti israeli feelings around the audible therefore we have to stand and unite together so whatever israel did to their neighbors it does include invading lebanon on an attack another country so actually always done under the pretext of security so israel defending itself but now is the see india middle east what's happening is that these regimes are collapsing one by one and more importantly people are more aware of the corruptions and although often the time they believe that their leadership actually made of peace and they never had. what they call response public response towards that so i think in my opinion if israel first before all the israeli government so that i mean these are

the people is nothing to do with it is that if they take the peaceful actions with their neighbors and try to build an establish better relations and i'm sure there will then be much problem but it is not an easy step for both sides so my but all heartedly i mean say that one day one day this will actually lies and i think both sides should take it or stretch it or stresses so much just finally as we see these regimes full one of course asks what happens next and i do understand that there's quite a lot of interest in the average wealth in the way that the turkish political system works can you just briefly tell us how that works and why that would be of interest to potential new regimes new governments i should say in the arab world. well turkey is a democracy a country where the population or rather the majority all population are muslims so

turkey is success in economy and in the development in democracy and human rights thirteen are very good examples all the islamic world because they see that it is possible and this can be actualized by the muslims themselves their poor turkey is attracting a lot of attention and i was in tunis a couple of months were given a conference people constantly asking me and they want to know more about turkey is one of the. actually solid setting up a very very very good model for everyone the curious about it well really good students they want to adopt it well thanks very much thanks so much for being with us professor. university joining us live there in istanbul thank you for your time . when you can access the web site.

disaster authorities downplayed the scale of the disaster at the start now what do you make of the french authorities delay in declaring this accident i understand it took some some hours before they said anything. well it's typical of the governments in industry right now that are running nuclear energy for domestic consumption to play down the severity of accident one because they don't want a public panic and to playing hide in the game about the actual car from the damage of the radiation and the exposure to the community surrounding the accident . well this is the first recorded death at a nuclear facility in france in fifty years considering nuclear power provides a vast majority of france's energy that there really is little to fear isn't there and they are actually saying there is not a risk there is no nuclear or radiation leakage. well i'll tell you what the records show that in the fifty nine nuclear plants that france operates

currently since one thousand nine hundred sixty nine there has been forward t. one nuclear accidents and fifty one nuclear incidents reported officially so let's dispense and dispel with the talk about this is a safe well regulated well managed industry because the facts speak differently. we have a green party in france who is so sick who've suffered so many mass defections because it's got partial funding from the socialist party what am i trying to say that the so-called opposition to environmental mismanagement is in the pocket of subsidised by a political party so they help whitewash the nature of b. incidence so the french people i'm sorry to say have gotten a very very restricted and limited amount of information about nuclear accidents nuclear incidents so what does all this is sort of in trouble with this just

quickly ask you i'm going to get on with this that i had that for an impact on the perception of nuclear energy and munched amongst the french public now. well since the food the french public has woke up recently and decided that maybe nuclear energy is not safe that it can be dangerous that it is vulnerable that is catastrophic you know a plant can go from an energy plant to a weapon of mass destruction if one looks at the damage and the ongoing damage caused by previous nuclear accidents in various countries so you know in answer to your question the french public is waking up but right now there is no mass movement and no organized opposition or leadership to confront the government and this this today at this electric defaults you know what this is it shows my bill increasing every two years when nuclear energy was supposed to in the beginning also to be very affordable and here is france the number one supplier and supporter

of electricity to the world who currently has signed a contract with libya to build a nuclear plant and signed an agreement to build the biggest nuclear plant in the world in india with a record on its home soil of forty one fourteen accidents and fifty one incidents. well just very briefly before we finish something like seventy five percent of energy needs come from nuclear power stations there in france it's going to take a long time to develop alternatives and of course money mo the economy there is no other cheap affordable way of providing electricity so surely it's there to stay isn't it. no. it doesn't have to stay right now seventy eight point eight percent of all atrocity generated in france is generated by nuclear power all right there is a way out and the way out is for

a compromise on consumers as well to accept true research true development into solar and wind and other sustainable forms of energy. we can't have a quick fix but if we continue right now the way that the way that management and storage of nuclear waste alone is going we will of the oceans the rivers and the planet which is currently going on to destroy this is really an energy of mass destruction right now ok i wish we had more time time isn't there a point is a way out ok great to hear what you have to say very recently no secret there joining us live there in paris good to see if hear what you have to say thank you you can see. twenty six twenty seven minutes past the hour now time for the business news we. i.
