out of syria and even though the whereabouts of being battle leader is still unknown steven rambam who is the head of an international investigative agency says it's just a matter of time before its founder could offer use or not but he's a very clever group and he's a north that's managed to survive for forty five years. and i'm sure he took note. of a lot more structured i don't sure he took note of how saddam hussein was captured and i'm sure he's avoiding those mistakes but he will make a new. i phone interview with steven rambam is coming up in the next hour here on r t. the leaders of the u.s. who may have sealed the deal on there which america would station in its much debated interceptor missiles in eastern europe under the agreement the us will build a network of military facilities in the country over the next four years but this is only the first stage of a plan with more bases to be set up around europe

a stated intent of the program is to fan europe against attacks from rogue states such as iran and north korea according to pierre of your land professor at paris west university the fact that there is no real threat to america or its allies puts a question mark over just who the shield is aimed at. i don't think it's really a military necessity no one really believed that it was a possibility of iran checking europe its nice size did not reach could not reach western europe should was here deployment was scrapped in the czech republic now it is a new plug meant in rumania but i think this takes up surely political washington probably wants to reassure the former satellite countries. so it's a political move but hardly a military necessity and also considering the state of the us economy i don't think it's a wise move in financial terms one of. this research policy would pressure at

least he was achieving something corp russia and key issues but this new deployment is aware of antagonizing russia which is going to turn into maybe some kind of new arms race which is totally pointless not only because the effectiveness of the shield is problematic and god's will but also because it's going to cost a lot of money unnecessarily because frankly i don't think iran is in a position to attack anyone in the west and i'll be back with or without our main story shortly before that i'll take a look what's happening now we're out of business william. hello and a very warm welcome to the business program fresh concerns about the european economy have caused another wave of turbulence in the global markets stocks swing sharply by hundreds of points and well and that's is awaiting the chances of the

meltdown in europe well from morgan stanley says russia doesn't have much to worry about so far. russia is actually a much better position and other central european countries turkey in the region because it has less strong trade and investment relationships with europe because it's more of a global trading country and it depends on the price of commodities such as oil which depends upon growth in emerging markets such as china and india. so russia's fate is toyed with the growth of china and india are not at the moment looks reports and hasn't been affected by the downturn in developed markets as compared to other. countries i think russia has and of course with brazil as essentially a commodity exporter which is exposed to movements and commodity prices which are affected by global growth it's not actually india which are large enough that they can determine their own fate to make their own economic weather to

powerboat school he's an eight time russian champion i mean charge of getting the next generation to follow in his wake but we have got lots of young sportsmen here and international class boats that can go up to one hundred sixty kilometers an hour. we try to stimulate the children's capacity for work and our members take part in both european and world championships. it seemed like i was in good hands although i did need some more appropriate clothing. care more racing season in the wet suit sort of things to come.

and once i got on my life vest it was time to take my seat. and trust to completely . my life in this very small and snug contraption. with just a gas pedal and no brakes to worry about it did seem pretty easy to draw in and there was at least one quick way to slow down. this little safety line is going to be quite pullets. things cross the immediate. this but quite so it's just simply have to run with. the quick push from the bank it was over and once you're out in one of these things you want to come back.
