the imperial kurds. and as the world struggles to avoid got dreaded double dip recession mass kinds of things you have to explore how students find a way out to survive our time for programs coming up later it's a. sprint from. the lap dancers at this one lap dancing chain in london are college students and the owner of this chain says that these girls are very popular because his clients often don't expect them to be knowledgeable interesting as well as attractive. a lot of a lot there to talk about interest rate differentials from you know school of economics. that unfortunately of the prostitute themselves because i was born in cameroon raised the tuition free to pay out to bail out the banks i was more likely there are these clubs every night this is a war should be you should. be a little bit more above board with his economic policies or else we're going to lose and there's a twenty two year old should sit down and is the right answer is. now

it seems sometimes you have to leave russia or if you want to get to know the past this week is special series of our russia play some reports come from outside the country from norway's schmidt's back an archipelago russian developed a coal mining community badgering period an advantage we can report twenty years from the u.s.s.r. seems to exist and many of them are still living and. a cluster of violence between the devil and the deep blue sea put the use aside the spitzbergen archipelago was a lot like puerto rico for the us not entirely its own not food for in the form of olive pulls between north america and western europe and as many hold a future base for the russian advance in the arctic. just

a few words about this monument. to their lives of course. of course all of. the most western tourists this morning meant is a testament to the failed soviet envisions the town of barons worked once a flourishing mining community isn't as sore as they. get behind these peeling façade one can also see a freshly painted the writing on the wall the russians on a cleaving in fact they're back. it's a russian birthright to be here. if the second summer in a row that we tell each and cough a span being on showbiz bergen decorating this kindergarten is the picture of russia as an ark 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 choice of priorities would have been questionable if it wasn't geo politically

timely it was. there was a time when the soviet union was feared and respected you can't turn back time russia should also position itself as a strong state people who visit very big should feel like they've stepped on russian soil. technically that's already the case russian settlements and speeds bergan have greener grass because of the several loads of black soil that was brought here from siberia in soviet times legally belongs to norway and nine hundred twenty agreement guarantees its signature is the right to conduct industrial activity on the archipelago an option for you to. only by moscow that for decades has been mining coal here. coal produced here has always been a pretty expensive but that conserving times was not an issue of economics but rather politics posco needed to maintain the smiling face here to his door again at any cost when our production volumes have windows just

a fraction of what they used to be but one thing any russian presence here is still considered a matter of strategic importance of the soviet methods die hard the minds of quitman haven't changed much in the last fifty years while they ask the composition of their workforce could makes of you to feel solve it must have gotten some of you i'm twenty seven years old so i don't have clear memories of the soviet union but i do salute spirit is very well preserved here with people here from ukraine central asian and we all feel like citizens of one country ironically attitude toward the mines profitability isn't so inherently soviet it's been a loss making venture for decades here increasing its efficiency is politically inconvenient. because coal mining is what allows russia to the president's speech program be profitable we need to mine three times as much calls we do now but since the posits are finite we have to go slow. meanwhile russia has notably increased

funding of scientific explanations and spitzbergen and in africa to explore the archipelagos natural reaches. you could become a is a geologist who first arrived in daryn's work in the early eighty's because of the soviet union tree geology for business but the recent afternoon state funding allowed him to come back as being the gergen is a key to all the arctic geographically it's a place where the global weather is before jus logical ground for science and mining its oil gas and other minerals it's a place we simply can't afford to lose. and he's country seems to agree on how we got our key gehring to work peter bergen archipelago. ok alterations business now with marina. hello and welcome to business here on r t the world bank has revised its twenty eleven g.d.p.

growth forecast for all sorts to four percent and that sounds from the june production of four point four percent but the bank's chief economist for russia but leaves the country is well positioned to fend off a potential recession in the short term. i think it should. go to her situation in russia is fairly favorable with the current circle city that probably almost always budget this year. and i think that. temporary when you give a favorable situation should be used if they put in more serious weeding through fiscal constraints reducing the known fiscal deficit. in medium term which but it would be important for russia to significantly strengthened its fiscal fiscal position over the meter of it so i think the overall picture is that the show from picture is favorable but there remains sure is. medium term structural issues that are well known in russia should be listening climate converse for creation. the

first to try and at. the last second look at the markets now will start with oil crude prices are higher after a three month employment figures in the euro zone jumped the most since the financial meltdown in two thousand rates european stocks are running after european policymakers said they were convinced greece would stay in the euro zone and in the russian markets their markets are echoing positive sentiments in europe that my success had in for its strongest close in the week as the e.u. support for greece improves the outlook for us and trade. and all the business news for the.

now i must say this is our senior british on french leaders visit the libyan capital in a show of support for the new or thorazine is just as the bus lines the rift within the national transitional council and. ordinary people in tripoli still backing out of the south is their devotion by cost the balance. also russia says it's time to lift the un imposed no fly zone over libya introduced to save civilians the measure is criticized as being ineffective as it doesn't help those trapped in the last train disaster struck it's. a blow for the billionaire turn to politics russia's

third richest man sensation he quits as neither of the posse is headed to the just three months. of however dozens even getting alcohol has been his foundations as he hasn't ruled out running for the presidency next year. now ahead of the annual general assembly this. hour with russia's ambassador to the u.n. he gave us his views on everything from the arab spring and promise finian state has to the possibility of new violence in kosovo. down with the current churkin russia's ambassador to be united. with a very much. seems certain that the united states use its veto power within the security council to prevent any recognition of a palestinian state what are the palestinians have before we go there let me

address another issue for me because at this very moment we are facing a possible very dangerous escalation in tensions was announced by the course of our being you know sort of as an parishioner basically. more than possible by force and another very disturbing element in the situation is that the international presence is ok for the nato force. and other european war mission ulick's which are there in order to preserve peace they seem to be cooperating with a very dangerous course of well being in a sort of a sort. of serbia here in new york has sent a letter to the president of the security council asking for an emergency meeting of the security council and russia is supporting this request in order to prevent. dramatic and dangerous developments in the course of a but. we're going to have. a lot of interesting debates in the security council

first of what whether to convene that meeting or not and to me this will be reality check on. whether indeed this security council we in the united nations are interested in preventing disputes and peaceful mediation of situation like this so we'll we'll we'll be following those developments and we'll see what is going to happen in the security council it's interesting you bring up cause because kosovo you know the cleric. support of the united states and many european countries this was done outside the scope of the security council and it was done with the backing of the u.s. and yet when it comes to the palestinians. the u.s. has already been screaming. the position of the united states is very often not entirely consistent to put it mildly because of the like some other. western

european countries they've done to apply double standards from time to plan and we have this vote several months ago on a resolution of the security council of the israeli settlements or the resolution was essential it composed of quotes without using marks of course from statements by president obama and secretary of state clinton and the united states went ahead and vetoed that resolution in the face of a one hundred twenty sponsors of that resolution so this is one of the problems i think in trying to put him through negotiations between the israelis and the palestinians if. the israelis get this kind of unqualified support from a country which is trying to play the main mediating role in the palestinian israeli situation and then it does not really cool to move for matters ahead but coming back to your very important question it is going to be one of the.

interesting challenges for the general assembly and for the security council for the dollars fenians decide to bring matters to one of those two bodies of the united nations main bodies of united nations or both is the point i've been making cool is really call it the people who have been showing up and also expressing their concern. of the situation in and around israel that talks must start between the israelis and the palestinians and although there are contacts. there. certain requirements which are the palestinians want to see for those talks to start. i call probably israelis will see it. as something being to their advantage because in my view at least some of the pressures of various sorts are going to grow in israel especially where we know we cannot be assured it will probably have the situation in the arab world is going to go i mean we are all.

sure was the hope of those who are in the front lines of the arab spring where things will evolve towards democracy it's a circa this kind of positive scenario is a normal sure at all so you would say it's in israel's best interest right now to get back to the absolutely and this is what they say too but unfortunately they come up with. various positions which are the palestinians not regard as acceptable they don't want to do anything about the settlement activity which is extremely brisk both and that is jerusalem and on the west bank they were quite dramatically prime minister netanyahu you will recall rejected. something which everybody thought was an obvious thing read the ration of the proposition that a deal between the israelis and the palestinians must be based on one hundred sixty seven borders of course with various swaps which can be negotiated so the progeny

of all is that. at least all reasonable people seem to know. what those negotiations should look like but. they keep sort of beating about the bush no to many question marks support. the israeli vision. of their future. as neighbors of the palestinians and in that neighborhood neighborhood they find themselves in in the middle east. arab countries and the united states from a spirit point of are trying to push forward to read the resolution of power for more sanctions against syria and this is something that. the president of russia than three hundred have said he's not in support of because additional question probably lives is not necessarily needed nor would it how. can you explain russia's position on syria because it is a very dangerous it is

a very dangerous situation and there's a bit of dramatic and tragic situation and i think the russian position is reflected really well something which was a consensus position of the security council first of all of the statement the condemn the violence by the syrian i thought it is excessive use of force but secondly it calls on everybody to stop while i'm so including the opposition and also of course for dialogue in order to resolve the differences and visions of what should happen. in syria and very importantly it calls for on the government of syria to implement the reforms that over there been arms or this is exactly all right i mean it's and it's not just for the matter of pressure on the syrian government because after all in the european union the united states of america what if you sanctions against syria already they're already in place so essentially when they ask us to have such a resolution in the security council they're asking us to rubbles them something we

should have already sort of done without asking anybody's advice on the security council but more importantly our concern is that any sanctions resolution. on syria in the security council might be seen by the structure of elements of syrian opposition as sort of encouragement and looking at something similar to what happened in libya maybe happening in syria. that clearly extremely destructive or consequences the western call ix. swearing to us that this is not their intention to use military force well incidentally we have to remind them that with. statements and assurances from them of various sorts when we're working on that resolution in libya which then we're very quickly forgotten in the heat of the battle in the media c.n.n. of course the best scenario is that the violence stops and syria on both sides

and. those are for the announce them that at least we have a situation where the syrian government has a line those reforms promised those reforms unfortunately we haven't seen any indication from the opposition to be willing to enter into dialogue i mean granted the. reasoning they say that many opposition figures. have been arrested they cannot negotiate in a situation of violence but in order to get out of the cycle of violence not to plunge the country into a major blood ship must happen i mean we we just don't see this scenario of a regime change which somehow in putting something which can be beneficial or which can improve in any way the communitarian or economic or social situation in syria there have been reports that foreigners and their. nationals have been executed

by. force. you think that it's time for you ran peacekeepers to intervene is keepers and you usually have when you have this is fred arrangement and now the situation is different now hopefully the military operations are going to come to an end very soon so what will be required is a. police range meant the united nations now the security council as well. on a security council resolution and under that resolution u.n. mandate will be spelled out for libya and investment mandate there will be steps taken in order to make sure sort of all law and order system is going to be created in libya which it will which will prevent those horrible things which of allegedly happened happening but let me also tell you that we are

keeping very false track of those reports and at every opportunity would raise their discussions in the security council which we are very often and making sure that every measure is taken. of the new only been our sort of is understand their responsibility. of course nothing can get old up because the situation as you pointed out correctly square dangerous and it's chaotic and when all that sort of caught on paul gritty view sions have happened including some killings of women or black people simply because they were suspected of having been there for medicine or is this is something which. caused our unhappiness and when we were raising our complaints and what is. absence a lack of proper implementation of resolution nineteen seventy three if you want to put up experience the last thing you do is stop a civil war and this is what happened let's face and ask your character in my last question for iraq. as more countries and for libyan assets how can the world be

sure that their money is properly by the new. title that how you can escape councils keeping track of areas. first of all. those tourism oceans will spring established the sanctions committee. when the issue of unfreezing assets came up people went to the sanctions committee saw the security council committee members of the security council through the sanctions committee will. be able to keep track to double check on how this money is being spent and the same sort of checks and balances are going to be also included in the new resolution on the other all of the united nations in libya and on lifting the sanctions from from libya so it's not going to be a free for all process because of course now we don't see on the desire of those countries which is understandable who have those assets in their hands and sort of

to start helping the libyan people so the danger is that too much money is going to be. you know on the table and disappear somewhere into the medium sound especially on the you know the current still very unstable. circumstances and i think it could be very much for kim. in some pieces but he's available in the ground to tell your grand hotel in revolt marco polo club school it's so close hotel in the big old circus hotel.
