4:53 am
a weekend we was going down this is this is where we will start but i think the four months and we'll see how would a championship because i know it was sort of fighting with the most of us who thought i could beat them but. this time until we see even sometimes if you lost one day it's you know close to something but now actually it would bring to some of you idle pockets hormones that. would be quite willing for the fun we qualify for part of the final seven. but then actually have a way to stop the days when guys just trust me but they knew a whole team was looks mighty and strong because finally we could make it in the top ten and we can you know fighting the seven or six seven to eight position so a full team stay positive and know it's next to one of the single was also not easy . he had people going to watch the funny the modern pentathlon low championships
4:54 am
have concluded and moscow with russia's men ending several podium places the women's event wasn't quite as successful but i stand and the russian style and russia a spot at next is a lympics from koester f i reports. the world championships in modern pentathlon is divided into two parts a limp ache and none of the big events things of that show olympic disciplines for men and women so russia's men claiming gold and silver which resulted in an overall team gold medal as well while the women had much less to celebrate and settle for a team bronze with individual discipline also winning and then take place. in the process with the nickels three zero zero zero zero zero men showed great results which is a good ratio anyone has for the women here group was outstanding as well as her teammate because you know who are asking the unfortunately failing shoe dumping. rule results because i think all athletes should be pleased with.

monday tuesday and wednesday were allocated to normally big disciplines in the men's women's and mixed relay events the latter brought russia another silver medal with you have the key and city gate kayaking within the honors for their country the women's relay was a failure for russia as the local trio finished in ninth place while team hungry one gold in the men's related one gary and spruik the once again that they're one of the world's strongest teams in modern pentathlon by claiming first place on the podium bill the russians finished a dance off the podium it could have turned out differently as they were in the lead until the show jumping piece led by the two time olympic champion and it's went to eleven world championship winner and they said their home team struggled with their horses and as a result they dropped from first to seventh place going into the final combine discipline which involves running and shooting and near perfect performance and the range bumps russia up from seven to fifty in the final standings while hungary
4:56 am
south korea and ukraine won gold silver and bronze respectively i think we could have given a better performance here if it weren't for the relays we feel it in show jumping on facts prevented us from fighting for a higher place in the standings if we started the last event from a different position i think he would rule results would have been different to sell the whole world championship and modern pentathlon turned out to be if you are successful russia's a male athlete while the russian women feel had quite a lot of work to do on their skills after all this summer olympics in london on less than a year away from home costs are already in moscow puzzle us both and i just time to tell you russia still trailing the usa at the rugby world cup points to ten by three the second half about the full time school and honestly.

years of france and germany have declared that greece is future elias was the euro their comments come as a second bailout for athens considered to be its last chance to avoid a disaster the fall hangs in the balance missed deadlines and a full scale recession have left little patience for greece among its neighbors they are now threatening to stop bailout payments for the embattled economy economists are also pessimistic and calls for athens to drop out of the eurozone are building as economic analysts demetri could be honest answer to the future of greece is far from secure and that kerry spoke to canceling grave consequences for the global financial system we're hearing a lot more rumors about of the fall which is frightening but i think but the most likely scenario is. down the road france and merkel have been saying france and germany and angela merkel i was talking about how they want to wait until at least twenty thirty and when the european stability. mechanism is in place the so they
5:08 am
have some sort of a special framework to go with with a bailout so i think that eventually greece will default but i think that it's not going to happen on october seventeenth they're not addressing they're not creating a scenario where greece or greeks can say ok in five years and seven years whatever we have a viable. plan to exit this large burden and go back into growth because right now there is in a collapse mode so there's no way they can service this that a lot of the american banks were on the other side of these derivative deals for they were insuring that i was on the book the book sort of european banks so that in the event of the fall of european banks would yeah it would they would lose out on their bonds but then they would go to the american bank and say give us the money because you wrote the insurance so the u.s. banks would be on the hook because they were it's an empire that has the imperial currency. the debt crisis that brought the euro to its knees began exactly three years ago when i think on thinkable happened america's fourth biggest bank lehman brothers declared bankruptcy and uniting a worldwide economic crisis that's still raging today but has less of that day
5:09 am
really been learned. lehman brothers has filed for bankruptcy stocks all around the world are tanking because of the crisis on wall street the more things change the more they stay the same how will lehman's bankruptcy filing really change the landscape of the entire banking industry in two thousand and eight wall street's bad bets and risky speculation led to the collapse of america's housing market and i nanteuil crisis around the globe today thanks have grown more powerful and profitable while the threat of a double dip recession has deepened if part of the problem was too big to fail and of part of the problem was high dependence on the financial sector if you fast forward three years we have even bigger financial institutions which were at least equally divided so the structural problems are probably worse and certainly not a whole lot better washington saved wall street with nearly one trillion dollars in government bailout yet in the past three years critics say that washington has
5:10 am
failed to effectively regulate wall street the financial industry can still trade rundle debt and that the same way it did thirty six months ago we still have the say the only differences right now they are worse is because that. has been trillions of dollars worth of. subsidies that were really in a worse position than we were before this was a cover up. of america's great recession has chipped away at the middle class exacerbated homelessness and resulted in at least fourteen million unemployed citizens. just last month zero jobs not one was created meantime wall street executives broke records last year pulling in one hundred forty nine billion dollars in pay in compensation according to analysts the u.s. is approaching its highest level of inequality since world war one if you're not in
5:11 am
the top ten or twenty percent you're significantly poorer than you were in two thousand and eight. and in two thousand and eight you were making one fifty this much money as the wealthiest people in the united states we've seen you know corporate profits make profits record breaking profits in some cases three years after the crisis and why is that they're taking the risks with investor you know investors' money to pozieres money that they were taking before and why because they know they'll be bailed out if there's a problem in two thousand and eight u.s. credit agencies fail to forecast the problem reading lehman as a secure investment just one week before its historic bankruptcy very little has changed their business model the only thing that really has changed is that there's one more skepticism towards them the collapse of lehman brothers ignited a perfect storm of economic distress and fear around the world get three years later problems the crisis remain unsolved many economists are predicting that this
5:12 am
means another economic collapse isn't just probable it's inevitable. we're not artsy. as the world laver's to avoid the dreaded double dip recession things are looking much broader on wall street the construction of an underwater cable between new york and london will speed up market trades by some six seconds and that calculates to roughly one hundred million dollars more and annual profits for big investors and that's not sitting well with our chief financial guru. is for just trading in this three hundred million pound project i mean high frequency trading is living ok now this is what i don't understand why david cameron in the u.k. he castigates the looters and the rioters but all they're doing is emulating j.p. morgan bankers they're looting this is a high frequency trading looting and they're getting the government they're getting these people who are looting you know sticks of juicy fruit gum on the street
5:13 am
because they're having their money stolen to pay for i frequent you trading looting of course are going to be looting of course you. invited this into your own homes because you ship or looters of the banks in the city of london because david cameron lives alluding he is in fact a terrorist is no they say that not to be glib i say that as a political cameron and of more arch barrister financial terrorists. and you can catch the full kind of report at eleven thirty g.m.t. here on r t. russia's political season is only just under way got the first scandal is already here one you've already with a super rich leader and high hopes for the upcoming elections has already collapsed large he joins me now to explain. because we are so tell us about the right cause the party that's about collapse and its untimely demise. well what we're seeing today indeed is that to be a successful businessman to the great beauty doesn't mean to be
5:14 am
a successful politician several months that the right course party exists in just two and a half months before the parliamentary election in russia and vicious later billionaire turned politician who helped broker a service to a crowd of journalists that he quits the party and so to keep the other members along with him he also feeds the crowd of journalists with a number of very strong allegations actually he says that there were attempts by the raiders this is how you forced those people to take control of the party he says but those people work in the administration of the president and but tonight will be calling the president himself and the prime minister of russia with an ultimatum that these people should go well in fact what we're seeing behind all those strong allegations are actually calling on clashes in the ranks solver political party which is often the case not only in russia but elsewhere in the
5:15 am
world but to the great beads been it's become somewhat of an inflamed us tradition with the russians right wing political force to try to divide these piles power so short before the actual election this happened during the past parliamentary election. in the ranks of the democrats and now we see in the ranks of the right course party. now that he's leaving it's a big question first of all he's going to lead the party if the party will make it to the action at all and secondly what new hope proper of will be up to. he started he's complained by gaining credentials pro-business credentials several very certain statements and proposals like enlarging russia into from europe as a euro zone enlarging. work we. different from all the others is that. we have
5:16 am
a base of people he says most of whom are ready to take professional responsibility for the government posts people of the people and already tried to be liberal over what we're seeing now is that the party's members is a patchwork of popstars even prisoners out for right nationalists one famous for staging rallies and. and even his complaint has been controversial from the very beginning text evoking a popular gangster movie was an attempt to. proffer of all honesty but instead it was a gift to satirise another important issue well all the money invested into the party will go now and he were talking about eight hundred million rubles which is approximately thirty million dollars that he's party is not a one pocket already it's not his personal cash and it's a big issue now where all this money will go he says that he'll be trying to pull the money out of the party now that. well certainly there will be more developments
5:17 am
throughout the day today and we'll be keeping our viewers up to date on what's happening there for now though thank you very much indeed for bringing us on the right cause party. well sometimes you have to leave russia if you want to get to know it better this week a special series of artes russia close of reports come from outside the country from norway spitzbergen archipelago russia owns about a third of the territory having developed a remote coal mining community there during the soviet period some boyko went there and found out following the collapse of the us a sorry the area has actually become more important for russia. it cost her of violence between the devil and the deep blue sea for the use ceasar the skids bergen archipelago was a lot like puerto rico for the us not entirely its own not food for in the form of calls between north america and western europe and as many hope
5:18 am
a future base for the russian advance in the arctic. just a few words about this morning a man or woman in their lives of course yeah of course all of. the most western tourists this morning meant is a testament to the failed soviet ambitions the town of barons were once a flourishing mining community is in a similar state. get behind this feeling facade one can also see a freshly painted writing on the wall that russians on a living in fact their back. it's a russian birthright to be. if the second summer in a row that you're telling titian cough a standing on to pittsburgh and decorating this kindergarten give the picture of russia as an arc is not to project an image of an unshakable state emerging from dire straits of history in a town that still experiences difficulties with running water and electricity this
5:19 am
choice of priorities would have been questionable if it wasn't geo politically timely. there was a time when the soviet union was feared and respected you can't turn back time that russia should also position itself as a strong state or people who visit parents should feel like they've stayed russian soil. technically that's already the case russian settlements and bergen have greener grass because of the several loads of black soil that was brought here from siberia in soviet times legally this territory belongs to norway and nine hundred twenty agreement guarantees that signature is the right to conduct industrial activity on the archipelago and auction foully you to. only by moscow that for decades has been mining coal here. coal here has always been pretty expansive but that in soviet times was not an issue of economics but rather of politics moscow needed to maintain in smiling bass here it is bergen at any cost but now production
5:20 am
volumes have just a fraction of what they used to be but one thing any russian presence here is still considered a matter of strategic importance is soviet methods die hard the mines equipment hasn't changed much in the last fifty years while the athlete composition of the workforce could makes a beautiful solvent nostalgia in the vicinity of i'm twenty seven years old so i don't have clear memories of the soviet union but i guess the soviet spirit is very well preserved here we have people here from ukraine belarus central asia and we all feel like citizens of one country ironically the attitude toward the mines profitability is also inherently soviet it's been a loss making venture for decades here increasing its efficiency is politically inconvenient. coal mining is what allows russia to be a president's speech a profitable we need to mine three times as much calls we do now but since they are finite we have to go slow. meanwhile russia has notably increased funding of
5:21 am
scientific explanations and bergen and in africa to explore the archipelagos natural reaches. me people paul is a geologist who first arrived in barron's work in the early eighty's the collapse of the soviet union made him trade geology for business but the recent afternoon state funding allowed him to come back as being the. key to all the arctic graphically it's a place where the global weather is. logical the ground for science and mining. and other minerals it's a place we simply can't afford to lose. and. country seems to agree it's not artsy. gergen archipelago. although i am after has blasted bell russian president. for weak anomic policies that led to the currency crisis now gripping the country the valorous ruble has been freed.
