happening there right now what's the atmosphere there like. well just an hour ago would seem that tension was reaching a critical level one of the supporters of you to a second try to organize a march through the central seat of kiev and the police step into the street to disperse this unsanctioned march it seemed that the tension would escalate into a major violence something which had been predicted by several column introduced that this day of over the eleven tuesday the day when the radio verdict would be read out and see some major bloodshed in the streets of kiev so far it's been rather calm here but certainly the violence going to rock that's any minute this whole tension here with thousands of thousands of protesters as i said this is the largest number of protests i've seen in the last three months here this tension has been somehow eased by the famous famine movement which organized another trial plus protest here in ukraine protest in fact against both president going to public and . units of a site with all the prime minister putting themselves on top of

years of. trials of former heads of state and heads and former heads of government and generally speaking i have to say that i am a skeptic about the trials. the culture of unity machine code but i think that it is very dangerous to use the criminal law to adjudicate acts of state and this is what has happened in this case the european union has already made it clear that if you serve this trial very dearly it takes a pretty dim view of this trial he doesn't like to see opposition politicians put in prison and i think there is every chance the european union may take some strong measures such as freezing the course with ukraine on the other hand. frankly there is no chance at all of ukraine joining the european union the idea that ukraine at least to me but in the next ten or fifteen years so these negotiations i'm afraid

are really just for form's sake they don't have any real bearing on reality. star having this hour here in our team bureaus are hangs by a thread here voted on a cordial deal which could decide the fate of death strap european nations game plans to bail them out. playing the world's arcade political stage rushes by the report now his chinese counterpart are looking to lay the first breaks in beijing today from aerospace to now development and energy there is much on the table for more on the much hyped meeting and what's at stake let's take a listen to our tease marina caterina. this is prime minister vladimir putin's first visit since and now it's in his to see in the upcoming presidential elections and this may signal a change in focus for russia for many years the west has been dominated the political stage for russia about china's economic progress may have to be sent many

ad for a popular slayback beer it announces to want to borrow from everyone that is greek not wanting to learn to grace that is slovak a tongue in cheek has captured the mood of the people here perfectly. here is not a rich country we need money for our health care system homeless for our elderly. as the second poorest country in the eurozone save axeman a reason why they should help bail out the rich nations they view as having spent more than they could afford and political dissent is met there is uncertainty about whether the leading coalition party will be able to get the votes they need if the bailout funds go ahead if we've also been team countries that use a single currency is needed. or not. i see there's

a strong pressure from from other countries and. probably. if it does a preferred plan slovak here would be expected to contribute about seven point seven billion year a to the pot which will taste about four hundred forty billion euro but with year is in countries like spain and italy making increasingly unstable many critics are saying that even this will not be enough president every so often. it's the final solution to the problem and they say it will take these marches but this will be the end of it and it's like the time it will come out and what we see is an endless. austerity. depression. more measures to move oppression and people realize now that you've got to break out despite facing an outpouring of public discontent germany managed to cost the measures at the end of last month but instead of i care many have for main street

agonise have five girls. we simply wanted a baby never mind a boy or girl when we got pregnant with twins psychics sure there were boys and even advised the names after months ago that now they are melissa and this one older has been a guaranteed to me and only maria was an area from the start i was happy to have another girl i would know what to do with a boy now and big happy family when these girls are ready to start their own families the risk of a russian men are going out faster than in any other country the total extinction of men may still be. a little. off the stuff threads that you can find in places like this may soon become a rarity with growing mortality rates and life expectancy of russian men dropping they stop guys are getting. this illegally and usual name of kills has seen better times when men from the village of boys across the river keep them company now only

the girls are left. they say hire someone to do the stuff but who's there to hire. men in russia lived to sixty years on average women seventy to twelve year difference makes the russian life expectancy the worst in the world and while scientists around the globe wreck their brains to save the human male russia's been doing little to preserve its women. there are no national programs aimed at men's health the chance of a russian man dying prematurely is twenty times higher than a man in europe such as the consequences of the social and economic stresses of the nineteen nineties in russia as well as smoking and drinking and now that local scientists have raised the alarm there might still be a chance that russian men will be around long enough to once again take the lead bury r.t. moscow. bob raise us up today and it is really angus

here where the u.s. business of big. it was a good and warm welcome see business out see russia and china are creating a joint investment fund worth up to four billion dollars deal will be sealed during prime minister clinton's visit to beijing and start up will be jointly run by the russian direct investment fund and the child investment corporation each has already allocated one billion dollars to the project at least seventy percent of the funds money is expected to be invested in russia or the former cia as countries china is cancelling e.u. one ruble trading fees as it becomes russia's top trading partner russia looks likely to post a budget surplus this year high crude prices are balancing state spending which has risen in an election year and a relatively healthy outlook is likely to continue twenty twelve unless the oil

price clashes as the us lobby somebody from deutsche bank explains. even with a significant increase in first core spending ahead of the elections at the end of this year there is a very high chance that russia will have a moderate but still a first for surplus by the end of this year in terms of the year two thousand and twelve the possibility to attain a surplus is also there obviously it will prices will have a lot to do with that but my sense is that given that we're going to be and the post electoral fiscal landscape after the elections that's going to be easier to control fiscal spending and that i think bodes well for the payment of relatively good fiscal outcomes possibly even in the positive zone with regard to the fiscal balance next year. how this move to the markets now starting
