the world this is all see with me thanks for joining us and sold issues in russia u.k. relations should not stand in the way of how theory and profitable corporation that's the view of the leaders of the two nations as they met at the equivalent of one hundred million dollars worth of contracts on his knees and now it hasn't warmed the outcome of the first official visit by the british prime minister to russia for six years. president made of 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 lives of engage the case and how that will if it will really continue to in fact ties in just to remind you alexander litvinenko was a former russian security officer who was poisoned with polonium and died in london diplomatic spat broke out between the u.k.

and russia after that british authorities wanted to actually buy a russian citizen on the table go boy but according to the russian constitution in fact article sixty one which president is very different minded 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 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 opposition about it 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 it so that your leaders 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 livia 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 . to doubt that he is or you would rather 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 there be a lesser russia believes the resolution in syria should be tough but at the same time violence to dress to both in the syrian conflict with him as president assad and the opposition only then can such a resolution succeed should be tough but not automatically lose sanctions if syria is under e.u. and u.s. sanctions he doesn't need additional pressure so certainly no major breakthrough in british russian relations but a very positive atmosphere considering that a british general of that level hasn't risen moscow on

a visit like this in so long positive atmosphere a lot of these laughs in fact one of the last questions asked after months conferences by the b.b.c. to david cameron asking him about with rumors that he was possibly were going to do or attempted to be recruited into the k.g.b. back in the ninety's cameron said he doesn't think that she would be a very good k.g.b. agent the president needed to beg to differ and they were pretty sure that david would be a good agent in government in this case he would never have become the u.k.'s prime minister the official visit at this level and 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. and a professor of politics at the university of kent says the u.k. and russia are currently facing medicine and economic difficulties which together they could. britain and russia suffer from

a lack of diversification just as britain depends too much on financial services so russia the pen's too much on certain natural resources like oil and gas so both economies need to diversify that this is not just a national issue for them this is also a global issue we know there are huge imbalances 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 technology where britain can certainly help russia explore some of its natural resources we know this from energy and 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 couldn't visit some form of technological exchanging need to build a high tech manufacturing and indeed industrial base across europe and it seems to me that britain and russia have a lot to cooperate on precisely in this field. as russia and the u.k. mold their differences over approaches to the crisis in syria moscow is forging

ahead with its efforts to mediate peace that russian lawmakers are hosting a delegation from damascus after holding talks with the opposition last week president bashar al assad's advisor country would welcome a fact finding mission by russian officials which most of them has promised to send shortly to government demonstrations in syria it flared up in march with at least twenty six hundred people thought to have been killed in the clashes including around seven hundred soldiers a security person out of the u.n. to take action that will push the sides towards donald and doesn't this you know one sided approach saying assad needs more time to implement democratic reforms of the u.s. and its allies have taken a more aggressive stance targeting the regime as the sole poppy trade told of violence and have already called far side to step down. the nuclear power plant in iran has been officially launched with the joint brain russian project now providing electricity to the country's grid so it's the culmination of work and cooperation between moscow and tehran which began in one thousand nine hundred

ninety eight. points now from the site. this is a truly historic day for iran. nuclear power plant is joining the international energy grid it's going to start operating at thirty five forty percent of its capacity that is the thirty five to forty percent of energy and it's going to 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. venture. that's been vigorously helping the construction of this nuclear power plant specially since nine hundred ninety eight the opening of the. russians energy minister and also by the head of. the important. countries now russia's energy minister has said that all of. the international standards. the parts went through difficulties some problems

build a plant and to deal with the results that are drawing the attention of the whole world i'm sure racial in operating the station and developing the nuclear energy projects will be distinguished by the atmosphere we created while working together 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 iranian side and then by two thousand and fifteen. the plant will should become fully operated by iran so. this is a very important venture for both iran and russia and. a lot of hope for this power plant which has just become operation in iran and. the school of oriental and african studies at the university of london told r.t. that the international community will have to put with iran's nuclear program. we have now a decades long standoff between iran and the west and over it the iranian

nuclear program this has been very hyped of. the nuclear issue for political reasons in order to be able to garner support to 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 and 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 the world has to face that iran as other developed countries has a nuclear program which is peaceful according. cording to all the evidence that we

have. meanwhile no cordial welcome awaits iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad as his visit to new york city approaches a massive billboard who has appeared in times square claiming iran's alliance they all kinds of allegations say detailed details rather that they said by the u.s. treasury department posts i was pushed by the united against iran proof as to tehran's nuclear plans and also also some hotels turkey's president and others had a conversation but i haven't even does independent institute sametime told r.t. that title run the risk increasing his desire for nuclear weapons and that the leadership is not and how kind. if you remember after all nine eleven iran helped the united states apprehensive alka people and provided intelligence on them because remember iran. islamised government is different than al-qaeda which is sunni and the iranian government is shia and the al qaeda is hostile to the

billboard for earlier demonizes iran so i think the problem with demonization as we've seen in the case of saddam hussein and moammar gadhafi is that the united states then seems to take out those leaders after a while and if you've got a republican administration in beat obama and next year in the elections by two thousand and thirteen we could hear the drumbeat for attacking iran which of course i think would be disastrous you have to put yourself in their shoes they do have legitimate security fears but i think you have to take them into account and you have to do everything that you can not to demonize them because that in turn creates pressures for attacking them later on this coercive approach merely makes iran want to have weapons more run sees that iraq and libya who gave up their nuclear weapons programs they got invaded or attacked. this is our sierra show

this hour israel in growing isolation where a poor girl some of the trees states neighbors are brimming with that israel is saying to them in a way call the arab spring. global markets fell sharply on monday over fears that the debt crisis was seen by as greece and italy this comes as italy is fifty four billion euro austerity package goes before the lower house of parliament with approval in june later this week to help budget cuts they tell government wants fewer local authorities and existing ones to match but to face a stiff opposition of what is actually seeking independence other bennett went to one rebel as the standard to go. 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

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 at the moment legal tender they just souvenirs but the plan is for two theory to to be worth one euro and for this to be the only currency they could be spent in the shops and restaurants here business is always been slow in the 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 many people to. 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 guillotine 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. it has warned israel it faces grabbing isolation in the region as they text prime minister has for egypt where the one is expected to cement closer ties this congress with bus countries experiencing recently strained relations with tel aviv on friday night ever a genome in the gyptian capital stormed sunscreens rain embassy forcing style to meet on this well difficult for few steps apologized for killing several egyptian security force members by mistake last month expelled israel's ambassador last week i let a country's refusal to say sorry for gunning down nine actually it's going to take a ship trying to bring aid to blockade. they talk piano says that talk was

council but just a click away as also you don't publish. those are the stories of go for you this hour now more top austerity measures and a new one of property times are in store increase as the country struggles on the crippling debt next we'll talk to a greek m.p. is simos he took all of the who says joining the euro zone has destroyed his country's financial prospects.

greece has given the world many edifying myths including the latest one that its economy was strong enough to join the euro zone was it a comedy at tragedy or maybe a farce well to discuss that we are now joined by the member of the greek parliament the most critical thank you very much for your time sir now greece has been at the center of political and economic debate in new york for quite some time now do you think the european union has done and not to how greece out not enough and not in the right timing and greece was just the weakest link. in the building in the chain that wasn't well constructed it is a problem when you promote financial integration without having political

integration and i think it's the time for big decisions in the european union i'm not so sure that the political leadership of the european union today is the point it should be what do you think is at the root of this crisis at the root of this crisis is that the political leadership has given up a big part of its power to the let's call it financial establishment to people that were never voted for and never elected. but they seem to have more power than their elected leadership that is something that has to change and another point of view maybe it sounds a little bit moral but making the money without producing anything is immoral and that's what we're paying right now so what you seem to be suggesting is

that greece has lost more than they've gained from joining the european union and the euro zone listen our fault is that we lost chances we could then should have done more in the good days. right now it is costing us a lot you can imagine that. germany for example is lending us money with a big hit with the biggest interest rate and that itself is borrowing so they are making money out of the help to us now some critics say that sense year was introduced in greece wages have been increasing at a pace seven times higher than in germany that you just mentioned and for example salaries for public servants have increased by seventy six percent so some critics may say that it's actually this inefficient bodging inefficient cost management that glad to be a dire situation this and there is truth is that the greek political system.

for. the best part of the last twenty years was. giving money giving benefits in order to collect votes. that this is not the only reason though for these. patients that you refer to because you must keep in mind that when we entered the european union the salary of the public servants in greece was one tenth of the salary of public servants in germany and it was supposed to be that. the aim of the european union was that all europeans would come to the same level so yes there was another one patient of i don't know seventy percent you said but still the salaries are lower than in germany how bad the situation really is what i'd be chances of greece defaulting on its dad in the near future i believe in the perspectives of greek economy maybe right now it seems

rather gruesome picture but we have many capacities that haven't been explored and that's one of the reasons i'm here in moscow to promote the conference that we're having in rome. about greek russian collaboration there are many things to do specially in the energy sector of course the tourist sector the real estate sector the corporation and coal production of. items of high technological value with russian know how and production in greece this would have advantages for both sides plus the fact that with the help of the european union greek farmers have stopped producing can imagine the country like greece right now kong feed its people we don't produce enough meat we don't produce enough we even oil we are importing

a country like greece that should be producing everything come to do something and should be and do we had the scheme from the european union that farmers were paid so that they wouldn't produce anything. we destroyed one of our main the main assets of our economy and this has to change now the sentiment here giving is full of disappointment do you think it was a wise decision for greece to join the european union in the first place the decision to join the e.u. was a wise one the way we entered the monetary union was the wrong crowd. relation of the greek drachma that we had to the euro wasn't correct the way we sense. it we made the transition from the drachma to the euro wasn't correct for example prices went three times up we didn't pay

attention at the time because what we gained from the monthly union right away was more credit than greece and greeks could borrow money easier but it wasn't used in the correct way it was used just to buy things but also the investments that were made in europe were 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 products buying german cause we have helped the german economy very much by our buying capacity i'm telling you maybe greece borrowed a lot of money the past ten years from to give you know from germany especially why

don't you check out how much money germany has made out of greece the past that he has you'll discover that it's more than what we borrowed. to. brighton if you want song moved from phones to.
