con is a report on our. welcome back here with us here live from moscow a recap of the headlines i washington is charged to the iranians for an alleged plot to kill the saudi ambassador to the u.s. it's claimed they tried to hire members of a mexican drug cartel to carry out the attack all accusations tehran dismissed as. an israeli soldier captured by hamas five years ago soon and preparing for a long awaited deal will see him swap for over a thousand palestinian prisoners however some high profile detainees will remain in israel. and russia and china strengthen their partnership to balance some of the

economic and political dominance of the west deals with some seven billion us dollars in energy trade in high tech industries a sign as prime minister putin met the chinese leadership in beijing. believing in the twenty first century china remains a mystery to much of the outside world sophie shevardnadze now since down with. an observer of global social economic and political trends and she's also written a book on china and sells us what lies behind the and. doris nice big thank you very much for being with us today thank you very much for having me so in your opinion why has china and still remains the greatest mystery

for thinkers and scholars because there's too little interest to get behind the mystery and how something stays a mystery if you don't have enough interest to to open the curtain. there's also you know somebody said the philosopher sherman for most of us said that most people do not want to learn something new but what to get confirmation of something they already believe in and i think that's very much the case in china we have a certain picture of china and i wouldn't exclude myself ten years ago all eleven years ago before i went to china for the first time i had a certain picture of china which was not really matching reality but then it depends on i willing to change the picture or do you stick with what you think how is it changed ten years on for you well. i was thinking. the chinese are

missed mysterious people you know you can't really trust them and you never know what they think i felt that the country was much more backwards than it turned out to be. the fact is that the chinese have helped still have and still today have kind of an innocence and unless once they trust you they embrace you and they really become friends with you and you can criticize a lot you know you can also with chinese politicians we talk a lot of things in china that are not as they should be. you can be very open but it has to come out of a positive spirit. and not of just looking for the negative spots but you talk about innocence where does that come from your theory and is it have anything to do with the fact that china has been communist for so long. no no i think it has to do with the structure of having the community first and then the individual

that meant you will always part of something you were part of a family part of a community part of a city part of a province and the country and helping each other we in together was part of survival and that's that's when they when you get to know the chinese and when they embrace or they are not ashamed of having all we love you and we admire you and and it's so sweet that openness i'm not saying that every chinese is sweet there is a lot of competition there can be very very. fierce fighting but in general they are willing to embrace you and talk about their feelings so is china socialist or characterised fight. for. making their dreams come true and the fight is something sometimes

a little fierce because for a long time they couldn't make their dreams come true they couldn't lift the likely launch of that and now specially for the generation that's one nine hundred ninety s. who has not lived through all the harshest and changes. they really a man they play it can do whatever they want to do and that's going to be a new situation in china with a generation that has well enough with communication systems with western with information about everything that you can achieve in life and they're going to fight for achieving that they have goals they want to they want to be the best your husband john and i scrape argues that china is a country without ideology do you agree with that it doesn't have any it's in. search for an ideology and i would replace the word there's a lot of search for meaning because. when you are starving making an

income that's enough you know you don't need any other goals but once you have your basic income once you make the economic dreams come true to a certain degree. then you realize that's not everything life and i have a column in china you stated the second largest newspaper and i get a lot of emails in reaction to the column and many of the questions are. you know what is really the sense of what's really the meaning of life what can i do with my life and how can i serve my country that's something that you wouldn't hear from the rest so much you know how could i serve my country it's much more how can i so how can the country serve me and that search for meaning for spirit of fulfillment that that we can increasingly feel could be that they're searching for

self identification in twenty first century. there are quite communists right now there are so strong economically very nurturing for knowledge when for a position in the world they do not have enough self-confidence including the china as a as a country they have achieved so much but but they don't really care to look at themselves and say well what we did flyers right i don't know maybe because they are attacked much more than then acknowledged and it's not that everything is great in china lots of things that we don't agree with that could be improved but the west is very much focusing on the radios and on the flaws. and i think we. should have a balance the thing apart there is a lot of good things and of course they have to work on the not so good things do

you think china is striving to be number one country in the world to dream of this huge superpower or is it just happening. i i hesitate because people inside i think china wants to be the middle kingdom and once they have the position that it once head that's in the in the in the you know the history of china as really an empire is not out of the chinese head but they are not fighting to dominate the world but they they are they want to play the role in the world that they are slowly growing into simply syas of qana made a growing size of the economy and by the number of people say i asked your husband whether china was trying to read become an empire and be emergent or incur a list stayed because if they're not fighting for it but they're fighting for it

economically because they're building ties with weaker countries. could it be that they will be become an empire that dominates the world by growing economic ties would have an interest i don't know whether we're live in the world where you really well really one day it can become a. dominant empire like the roman empire and all the other empires that fall. i don't think it's in this way and also i think that there's quite a ways to go and you know america is a fourteen trillion economy and china is still only one zero one fourth of it so they also a ways to go and also you know think of the role that the u.s. place culturally i mean the influence that this has in the culture of the globe is a much higher one and i think that's one of the things that china is really really has to establish what is its cultural identity in the twenty first century and

when we have a chinese armani when they do not call peak the. you know the. when they have. people who stand for our brand then we're their own motor. which let's say and i'm not very good on the. band so but you know what i mean they they have to create the chinese brand the cultural leadership that still is in the hands of the u.s. in many ways but right now china owns about one third of the u.s. for in-depth and dollar is at a very vulnerable situation i mean people aren't talking but you could devalue future. what is the smartest way out of this impasse for china i think you know economists are correlated or are having different opinions so i really would not

claim that i have the answer to that so when the u.s. will hit rock bottom it will also have found a solid ground and then rise because it's not that the capacity of the u.s. is gone it passably is still there and the chinese are very smart to the situation and invest with let's say weakening dollar or not so i think they they're going to work it out and they're smart enough to do so also one more question china is more and more assertive in the south china sea do you think china is a country that actually could envisage a conflict now it's a book but it wouldn't i mean it's too smart to you can't win worse anymore so why would trying to really start a war which would be destructive for china itself so while there is a lot of posturing on the political side economically you know it's it's much too

much integrated to really start a war on either side so no the us posturing as a lot of. posturing because of internal reasons to show strength towards people thought but you know we don't we don't think that's quite a thing china strategies for russia they've been very good friends and they are not so good for them so i think they are seeking an alliance they are seeking a trade very close neighbor us so i think china in general wants to optimize relationships whether it's russia or america or europe taurus nice big thank you very much for this and tracheal. culture is that so much of the future calls you on it easier to call it what you

will the major political defeat point for woodstock with the music you respect the occupy wall street demonstrations continued. a very warm welcome to you this is your news today protesters on the wall street seem to play at. least a chance to try to get the status of the human experiments in the single. biggest rap music what it knows the military trying to belittle me and it's all changed things i find the real link to me to you don't get into markets and you don't want to be seen trade imbalances risk which is close to see you some might look closely. at some fail circulates against the little things the us crash.

the headlines on r t washington has been charged with two iranians for an alleged plot to kill the saudi ambassador to the u.s. it's claimed they tried to hire members of a mexican drug cartel to carry out the attack and all the accusations tehran has just missed as being comical. russia and china strengthen their partnership to balance all the economic and political dominance of the west deals worth some seven billion dollars in energy trade and high tech industries of all means sign as prime minister putin met the chinese leadership in beijing. and an israeli soldier captured by hamas five years ago could soon be going home a long awaited deal will see him swap over

a thousand palestinian prisoners however some high profile detainees will still remain in israeli prisons. ok now the case with the sports. thank you for joining me for the latest sports news and yes what's coming up six of the best russian crews into next summer's european football championships after winning group paint with a six know nothing about dora here in moscow. while they're in the plane the new british pound his retirement after missing a crunch penalty in serbia one will defeat to slovenia in the arcane european qualifiers. and spanish domination top seed rafael nadal breezes through as from pakistan a fair chunk policy but also progressed i wish i was as. i would start with

football and russia have finished their european qualifying campaign in style after going through to next year's finals as well as a. six nil hearing loss that i thought was pretty proper for. russia only need the points coming into very clash of endora but the whole country was expecting much much more from the capital outside spades will call on what is officially the world's joint worst signage. under fifty thousand fans who turned out to watch them didn't have to wait long for first goal i want to go admitting his second goal in as many games of the national side after only five minutes the hosts were a class above their opponents some would double barely midway through the half a century not sure which got the slightest of touches the undershirt in st cake the russians weren't finished so good only won one spot more than a single goal in this qualification campaign but they were determined when that run against bayern dorrans and their man probably change limited free on thirty minutes

. should always continued his rich vein of form the twenty one year old scoring a fine gold on the stroke of half time to take his tally to four for the national scene. unsurprisingly the host seized from the second half however davies we should call for him time to score his first ever goal for his country to make this call five nil from substitute junior believe it dino was making a rare appearance confusion to randall perhaps for goal of the night here tonight fielder picking the ball up for round twenty metres zines it will try and left foot shocks which gave the visitors keeper no chance jubilation to the russian zone produced bush's call you crying this when with his first ever goal and he was happy to give the fans a performance shader to the one that instead we won is over the moon at the moment we played really well today and it's nice to give the fans something to cheer about a lot of supporters came out to cheer us on today and the coach said it was time we

started scoring more goals for them russia have dominated every man played in this qualification campaign and egos i'm sure of was delighted that his sinai ange when for only the second time one more one goal in their qualifying group. that it was nice to start finding the back of the net we've played well throughout the group like when we drew here with harlem's no no the one we lost against slovakia when we weren't able to score would look on our side tonight. because the cats first campaign is england not mind as russia managed to win a qualification read for the first time in a decade but not hard work starts with the dutchman was around eight months to prepare his side of euro two thousand and twelve finals in poland and ukraine is much of a weekly dati moscow. ottawa's coach to have a car said he was relieved russia didn't have to go into the playoffs and also revealed the team would now prepare for a friendly with the opponents due to be confirmed on thursday however the dutchman criticised song club something reluctant in letting their players turn out for the

national side. so hopefully the owners are happy as well sometimes there are some doubts about it because we can play to from the game in the world to some protests from some owners so i don't understand the way they think because i think the think about. because it's very important so we are willing to think about the clubs well so we only play one one game and. we are here but for levy against because he wanted to play a much tougher position on the french you could play recently in slots or run on a district opposition place if you're askin you much tougher so. we still get to go formations more so i can. so this is our group be finished russia followed by island. up expense of

armenia and went to war in dublin bellamy is happy keep a sense often the first half and striker kevin doyle also received his marching orders later on for a second yellow card despite last autumn coach giovanni authority hail the size of . i think. many games. the best in the group he would be. very well. first and for us he said very great. blows lee. we believe. the. only fifty fifty percent because no there are plenty of is this information for you. elsewhere from stop group d. after a one one draw against bosnia we needed victory in paris to qualify automatically i

didn't have given the visitors the lead in the first half with a great strike but later on samir nasri was brought down in the box he scored the resulting penalty to add france the necessary points to send them to the european championships while bosnia you'd never qualify for a major tournament into the playoffs. and elsewhere months united counting the money of it it has hinted he could soon be calling it a day on his international career the twenty nine year old serbia defender is taking full responsibility for missing what could have been a life saving second half penalty for his country serbians needed to win in slovenia to leapfrog a stunning a into second spot in group c. but on the stroke of half time conceded a cracking goal by the to and did it so his feeble strike on the spot saved and said this qualifying hopes were dashed. so let's round up all the teams that are qualified joining highest ukraine in

poland russia and france england were already there denmark a three zero after beating portugal two won in a winner takes all encounters a top group h r sweden's treaty when i was the netherlands who already qualified and they go through as the best runners up i respect their place of the coming back to be georgia two one already there were defending champion spain who beat scotland three want to end their playoff hopes in favor of the czechs germany finished with a one hundred percent record at the top of group a vital belgian three run and group c. when it's only rounded up their campaign with a three no where over northern ireland. well eight teams are going into thursday's draw for the playoffs where there. into two parts of four seated and four hundred seeded teams ireland and portugal are seeded along with the czechs the book that they survey for winning with your idea and croatia latvia kenya has given a joint already qualified montenegro in the unseeded group along with case they think turkey givings azerbaijan run at the start here as well and the serbia the

first leg for the playoffs are on november the eleventh or twelfth the second legs on november the fifteenth. but in the meantime russia's under twenty one team maintains that one hundred percent record by beating portugal two one here in moscow to extend their leave at the top of group six in that offer for a place of the twenty thirteen european championships in israel something off reports. russia have started their voyage trying complain confidently with two wins on the road and a goal difference of plus eight and in their third encounter the russian space their main group six trials were to go on home team kid just outside moscow and the goalie series man took control from the story in first have a few scoring opportunities though were punished for a moment of slickness after half an hour wilson and the on the phone himself were actually american led to the books and hammered the ball through the wall and

flailing hands of the goalkeeper to put portugal at halftime however whatever they had coach said the host at halftime seemed to work as russia came out even more determined and everything swung the host way within just four second half minutes first but all your kind of cross to the four where alex on the court in headed home the twenty year old forwards increasing his telling qualifying chain impressive five goals in three matches and then substitute infeld in a moscow forward fielder smaller group will bus three defenders to beat the keeper at the knee of course to make it to one up to fifty four minutes and that's how it's been is the home side. i took you in control in giving the order to use a new chance to be wise and i was a little bit surprised that there was no one in front of the game when i make the move so i decided to shoot and i made the right decision. called said we should play our game on some of the founding which school and when the march about so it

happened we conceded an awkward all amounts to come from behind and reserved all in portugal didn't have any scoring opportunities in the second half rushing down to nine points from three matches well portugal sleep and good its name of our team. tennis now and tops a graph on the dollars off to a quick start in his quest for his maiden shanghai masters title a spaniard making light work of lesser known comparative yellow beth sailing into the last sixteen with a six three six two win after receiving a bye to the second round while the second seed andy murray has yet to pick up his racket are limited to arsenal withdrew due to a fine jury and in the scot a look into the third round not joe wilfried song that i became the biggest name so far to fall the fourth seed frenchman bowing out katie couric however third seed fair is safely three a spaniard backing past canada's lashley on the edge and next
