wealthy british style.

markets. find out what's really happening to the global economy. the global financial headlines to cause a report. stronger relations for mutual benefits russia and the u.k. agree not to allow their divided opinions on the 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 crowd. generating power iran plugs its first nuclear plants into the national grid the facility in which it was built with the help russia. closer to the center of the eurozone debt crisis is its crucial austerity package and as the final stages triggering a new wave of protests and tough spending cuts the top stories this hour.

international news and comment live from a headquarters here in central moscow this is. unsolved issues in russia u.k. relations should not stand in the way of healthy and profitable cooperation that's what the leaders of the two states concluded after their meeting at the kremlin and he said now he has more on the outcome of the first official visit by british prime minister to russia for six years. president iterative called the talk star racket and constructive david cameron called them axel would the two leaders have pretty much agreed to disagree on their sticking points just 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 lives of again 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 in tied in london i diplomatic sprott broke out between the u.k. and russia after that british authorities wanted to actually fight the russian citizen on the table go boy go to porting to the russian constitution in fact article sixty one which president has made it reminded me 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 me to make it to affect any further growth i david cameron went as far to say that the issue is not parts 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 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 talking an issue is just recognising 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 it will 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 spend 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. he said i think you are you are 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 the west is because russia believes the resolution in syria should be tough but at the same time dress to both the syrian conflict president assad and

the opposition only doing concerts a resolution succeed 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 after news conferences 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 a day to beg to differ. i'm pretty sure that david would be a good k.g.b. agent being good 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 the prime minister vladimir putin and members of

the civil society where the focus there was on human rights. and he said now reporting they had to talk more on the outcome of this meeting we cross live to dr patrick fuller who's experience in science and technology projects between the u.k. and russia. thanks so much for being with us patrick here on r t the same turn of the press conference given by medvedev and cameron was friendly and optimistic but just tell significant has this been for british business. well it's good to see that kind of light hearted note. the end and i really do hope that this signifies an ability to move on from the look of our business and really put a reset relations between the two countries as i understand it and i haven't seen the press conference coverage yet today but as i understand it they're announcing something like three hundred million pounds worth of business between britain and

russia and that's got to be that's got to be good news because prime ministers like to go back with this kind of news it's all very very good public city for power and himself but i think this is this is a positive sign the proof of the pudding of course will be as we say in the eating is it possible to maintain this kind of productive relationship and right now i guess friends in b.p. here in london must be wondering well you know what went wrong we've had problems with a relationship the sun tire and we tried to negotiate this deal with rosneft and so on not been successful so let's see how it pans out let's be optimistic but let's be realistic at the same time when you mention the three hundred million dollars worth of deals that the u.k. prime minister is taking back tonight from moscow to the u.k. is this a sign that the investment climate is improving here in russia bearing in mind of course the concerns over corruption and bureaucracy something of course that david cameron mentioned today. well that's right i mean that really is the key question

isn't it would you choose to invest in russia can you be sure that investing in russia you're going to be able to get your money back is it actually going to be possible to do a deal that means that but for the money that you make the growth in the company can be repatriated if it's required i think but. the jury's still out on that one i think it's still a difficult investment climate in russia difficult from the point of view of corruption and all the other kind of problems that we know about but hopefully step by step we can move away from that we can move beyond it and start to see russia become somewhere where inward investment becomes something that people are really happy to consider let's talk more about that investment both sides have agreed to expand their cooperation in high tech now this is something that you're involved in how can the u.k. help russia fulfill its ambitious modernization program. well i think the key

point here is that this is not about help it's about doing business and it's about mutual investment the u.k. provides an interesting case study for russia back in the seventy's we moved from being a an economy where science and technology were very very disconnected business to where we are now where we've got a high tech sector space sector for example is world leading but it's taken a long time to do that russia has taken the first steps in establishing a new business center at skolkovo establishing what is going to be i suppose a kind of silicon valley there and british involvement and that is going to be absolutely key in terms of development companies development business and helping russian high tech businesses expand outside russia into markets in europe and vice versa how indeed will russia benefit the u k. oh absolutely now this is i mean this

is really very exciting point a very important point but i think russia remains a kind of allowed in spray where there are all kinds of interesting things to be found the legacy of the soviet research institutes that are first rate mathematics science and engineering education system means that there are all kinds of people ideas intellectual property that remain in russia to be discovered and exploited but i think is really key to the interesting future but hot right that russia has in store in this hall where it will end on a positive note dr patrick fuller founder of capital science connections joining us live in london thank you for your thoughts thank you. well as russia and the u.k. mold their differences over approaches to the crisis in syria moscow is steaming ahead with its efforts to mediate peace there 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 but she also has promised to send any day now anti-government demonstrations in syria flared up in march with the regime responding with brutal crackdowns of these two thousand six hundred people are said to be killed and russia wants the u.n. to take action and push the warring sides to a dialogue and says assad needs more time to implement democratic reforms the u.s. and its allies want a more aggressive target 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 artes and in english has been following the launch in bullshitter. this is a truly historic day for iran as its first nuclear power plant in 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 bigger helping the reigning inside construction of this nuclear power plant socially since one thousand nine hundred ninety eight the opening of the plants has been attended by russia's energy minister spots and also by the head of story expert both of whom have underlines the importance all space then cheer for both countries now russia's energy minister has said that all that seriously of course conducted by russia and iran should be stinkers think united with international standards to give the would only rate in counterparts went through difficulties and problems building plans and to deal with probably through the results that are drawing the attention of the whole world i'm sure gratian in operating 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 no russia is going to supply the fuel for the power plants and it's also going to discard off 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 hand it over to the running inside and then tried two thousand and fifteen at. the plants 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 of the there is a lot of hope for this power plant which is which has just become operational in bushehr in iran. and have come under judge research from the school of oriental and african studies at the university of london told me earlier that he believes iran has the right for peaceful nuclear energy just like any other developed nation. we

have now a decades long standoff between iran and the west and over it the iranian nuclear program this has been very hyped up. the nuclear issue for political reasons in order to be able to garner support and put pressure on iran if you cannot control or influence a country you might go for isolation and weakening of the country in the best way to do that is through economic sanctions economic sanctions if we just listen to the most authoritative source when it comes to analyzing the iranian nuclear program which is the international atomic energy agency and if we read their reports we see that there is no evidence for any weaponization and also this is confirmed by numerously and on numerous occasions by the u.s. intelligence services and very recently so as well so of the world has to face that iran as other developed countries has a nuclear program which is peaceful according. according to all the evidence that

we have. and shortly still to come to israel in growing isolation we reported on the jewish state it was a brimming with and israeli sentiment in the wake of the arab spring. still to come but first global markets slumped on monday over fears that the city's debt crisis is worsening as the country's fifty four billion euro austerity package goes before the lower house of parliament for final debate the government plans to make changes to the ways rural communities are run some people are beginning to lose faith in their government's ability to make the right decisions now these are the 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 but also claims to be an independent principality and support it it's even started printing its own money a man on

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 they just souvenirs 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 detracting me 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 filipinos a source of rome's water supply and that mayor is threatening to cut it off if he doesn't get what he wants either venet r.t. filipino italy as financial worries echo deeper inside the euro zone fears a grain of greece could be heading away from the euro unable to contain its debt crisis. veld the editor in chief of belgium's leading business magazine the trends think that greece should jump ship the greek economy is in an outright depression now keep going at the moment at seven 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 budget situation is out of control so there's no way that greek. paper on 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 from greece within the euro zone greece will ask us if it can be organized in an orderly way but the risk is of course that there will be a 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 countries like spain. bankers warning israel it faces growing regional isolation as the turkish prime minister arrives on a visit to egypt one is expected to cement closer ties with car and with both countries experiencing recently strained relations with television on friday night
