about another update in fifteen minutes and on the mean time even in the twenty first century china remains a mystery to much of the outside world and. talks with doris she's an observer of global social economic and political trends and she's also written a book on china and tells us what lies behind the mattick nation that's next. doris nesbitt 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 to greatest mystery for thinkers and scholars because there's too little interest to get to get behind the mystery in all 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 philosopher said that most people do not want to learn something new but what took at 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 think exclude myself ten years ago or you haven't 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 how you 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 thought that the country was much more backwards than it turned out to be. the fact is that the chinese have have still have and

still today have kind of an innocence and openness 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 was 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 well you talk about innocence where does that come from north korea and does it have anything to do with the fact that china's been communist for so long. and no no i think it has to do with with a 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 being 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 that 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 capitalist their fight. for. making their dreams come true and the fight is something sometimes a little fear us because for a long time they couldn't make their dreams come true they couldn't lift the life they wanted and now specially for the generation that's one nine hundred ninety s.

who has not to live through all the hard shift and the changes. they really the man they can do whatever they want to do and that's going to be a new situation in china with a china ration that has grown up with communication systems with western. get 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 state argues that china is a country without ideology do you agree with that it doesn't have any it's in search for an i d all of she 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 konami dreams come true to

a certain degree. then you realize that's not everything in 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. and that that we can increasingly feel could be that they're searching for self identification in the twenty first century. there are quite communists but now there are so strong economically there are searching for acknowledged land 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. to look at themselves and say well what we did why is the right i don't know maybe because they are attacked. much more than then. and it's not that everything is great in china lots of things that we don't agree with that we need to be in for but the west is very much focusing on the radios and on the flaws. and i think we should have a fallon's that. there is a lot of good things and of course they have to work on the not so things do you think china is striving to be number one country in the world to be this huge superpower or is it just happening. i i hesitate because deep

inside i think china wants to be the middle kingdom and once you have the full session had it once head that's in the in the in the you know the history of china as really an empire is not the chinese head but they are not fighting to dominate the world but they they they want to play the role in the world that they are slowly growing into simply. kaname the growing size of the economy and by the number of people so i asked your husband whether china was trying to read become an empire and be emergent to an imperialist state 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 with other countries i don't know whether we're live in the world where you really well really

one nation can become a. dominant empire like the roman empire and and all the other empires and fall of . 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. only once or one fourth of it so they have a ways to go and also you know think of the role that the u.s. plays 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. you

know the. when they have only people who stand for and then what they own. which let's say and i'm not very good on the pop bands but you know what i mean they they have to create the chinese plan the cultural leadership that still is in the hand of the u.s. in many ways but right now in china is about one third of the u.s. for in depth and the dollar is at a very vulnerable situation i mean people are even talking that you could devalue the 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.

has gone that capacity is still there and the chinese are very smart to get to the situation and invest with the let's say we can in dollars or not so i think they they're going to work it out in the smart enough to do so also one more question china is more and more a search. with the south china sea do you think china is a country that actually could envisage a conflict well i it's a but but it wouldn't i mean it's too smart to you can't win wars in the water so why would china 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 there is a lot of. posturing because of internal reasons to show strength to its people

but but you know we don't we don't think this is what i think china strategies for russia they've been very good friends and they've been not so good friends i think they are seeking an alliance they are seeking but now they are very close neighbor us so i think china in general wants to optimize relationships whether it's russia or america or europe doris nice big thank you very much for this and trying to. discover its.

nature can give you. a very warm welcome to you this is your news today protesters on the polls. printer they have to. leave the sentence when you've chosen to choose to use it to get a book for example the status of the human experiments because it's sitting well with. this you approach this in this rap music in which it goes to the movies lives really trying to make sense of global economy and it's all changed things as financial templates the research clambering to maintain a confidence in long kids and thinking on the primitive wants to be seen trade imbalances reese's pieces close to collapsing and stuff like moon food clothes homes people expect to fail so we play banks again field level i think is us crash

and imminent smash the ceiling teams coming in just like ultimate in the clubs isn't enough in streaks the i.m.f. in construction just programs increase the total economy. ok. the longest big game hunting history. she was trying to store. data to. what sprung the traps they laid for him. on the radio. the surge walks around the. always from the always missing. one shot trying to take. out the global drug industry's godfather became the most want to trophy of the world's bounty hunters. bar the great hunt party's.

top stories this hour all t. washington has chance to radians for an alleged plot to kill the saudi arabian ambassador to the u.s. it's claimed they tried to harm members of a mexican drug cartel to carry out the attack his nation's terror on dismissed as comical. most of us our russia and china are straight from that point. ship to balance out the economic and political dominance of the west deals worth seventy billion us dollars in energy trade and high tech industries are being signed as promised a position that the chinese leadership in the playfield. and in the israeli soldier captured by hamas five years ago could soon be going home a long way to deal with so you can swap pals and palestinian prisoners however some high profile detainees will remain in israeli jails. all that brings up to date for the moment with more on those stories more developments in the fifteen minutes from now in the meantime case next with the latest stay with us for that.

you're watching the latest for this wednesday evening here on r.t. and the use of the headlines six of the best russia crews into next summer's european football championships after winning prove with a six nil drubbing of amador up here in moscow. while they're in the play man your bitch gone this retirement after missing a crunch penalty in serbia one of the defeat to study in that key european qualifier. and the spanish domination top seed rafael nadal griese a string as compassionate vera and juan carlos ferrero also progressed at the shanghai lost as. we start with football and russia have finished their european qualifying campaign in style after going straight to next year's finals as winners of group b. by beating on doors six nil here in moscow and watching was rich example for the.

russia only new to the points coming into very clash. with the whole country was expecting much much more from dick advocaat signed a spiritual call and it is officially the world's joint worst showing age. and the fifty thousand fans are turned out to watch the didn't have to wait long for the first goal a challenge of lloyd lifting his. second goal in as many games for the national side after only five minutes the hosts are a class above their opponents some would double barely midway through the home of a ciggy the slightest of touches to undergo a shopping spree cake that the russians one finished that only one ones by more than a single goal in this qualification campaign but they were determined to win that run against van doren and the man probably change limited free on thirty minutes. giorgo if continued his rich vein of form the twenty one year old scoring a fine goal on the stroke of half time to take his tally to four for the national

scene which unsurprisingly the hosts eased off in the second half however decent we should call find time to score his first ever goal for his country to make the score five nil or some such should you have been here do you know who was making a rare appearance countries of the ranking perhaps for goal of the night here too in the field or picking the ball up from around twenty metres sounds better well time left foot sharks which gave the visitors keeper no chance jubilation for the russians and produced bush's call crime this win with his first ever goal and he was happy to give the fans a performance to savor. and everyone 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 to the age and the coach said it was time we started scoring more goals for them that russia had dominated every man should be played in this qualification campaign and igor some show was delighted that his sign managed to win for only the second time on more than one goal in

their killer fine group but. it was nice to start finding the back of the net we played well try out the group like when we drew here with garlands nils the one we lost against slovakia but we weren't able to score was on our side tonight. you got a chance bush campaign is in one minute russia managed to win a qualification grid for the first time in a decade but now the hard work starts with a dutchman who has around eight months to prepare his side for the euro two thousand and twelve finals in poland and ukraine richard paul klee dougherty moscow . well after his coach the governor said he was relieved russia didn't have to go into the playoffs and also revealed the team would not prepare for a friendly with the opponents two to be confirmed on thursday however the dutchman criticized some clubs for being reluctant and letting the press turn for the national song. very happy. is that. so hopefully the happy as well sometimes i have some doubts about it. because we can play to find

images next game in the world ready some protests from some owners so i don't understand that was the way they think because i think they have to think about. because it's very important so we are willing to think about gloves as well so we only play one one game and hopefully don't they are happy for him to be against his office he wanted to play much tougher opposition from the friends you've been playing recently against the likes of iran caetano districts of em but opposition with a savior is going to much tougher say you know in prison we know. that already but we still get must get to go from asian to morrow so i cannot say for sure but it's a nice no zero point one of the main some of the cons tendency as russia coach seems to be secured for the first seeable future as football chief said a gay forcing has made it clear he wants to extend the dutchman's deal for another two years after the european championships are over. it was surely

a bit of shallow and toccata is a top level specialist he's a very consistent first magic and goal orientated person and to make it even better he's a winner he still runs out in july next year but it has an option to be extended and i can't see any need to change that. it's all about this is how group b. finished russia on top followed by allah you go into the playoffs at the expense of amina off the beaten into one in dublin and the armenians have their keeper sent off in the first time off while on and strike at kevin doyle also received his marching orders late on their second yellow card. elsewhere france top group d. offer a one one draw against bosnia needed victory in paris to qualify automatically and inject i had given the visitors the lead in the first off with a great stride botts later on samir nasri was down in the box he scored the resulting penalty and france the necessary points to send them to the european

championships while bosnia was never qualify for a major tournament into the playoffs. elsewhere much to united kept in 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 and missing what could it be lifesaving second pot penalty for his country the serbians needed to win in slovenia to leapfrog a stunning a into second spot in group c. but on the stroke of hoff time conceded a cracking goal i brought it to the kitchen and did it so his face was by full sized. why fine. so let's round up all the teams that have qualified joining host ukraine and poland russia and france england were already that denmark through to beating portugal two won in a winner takes all encounter to top the group h. one sweetness three to win over the netherlands for the qualified meant they go

through as the best runners up greaseproof their place off the coming back to beat georgia to one already that were defending champion spain who beat scotland three one two and that play off hosts in favor of the czechs germany finished with a one hundred percent record at the top of group a belgium three one. and group c. one has italy rounded off their campaign because three know when i've been told an island. a teams have gone into thursday's draw for the playoffs where that divided into two parts of the four seeded and four unseated teams ireland and portugal seeded along with the czechs that place with a four one when the lithuania and croatia. bosnia herzegovina joy already qualified montenegro in the unseated group along with. to get azerbaijan one nil and a start thanks to slovenia as went over this with us legs in the playoffs are on november the eleventh or twelfth was the second leg on that van but the fifteen. one in the

meantime russia's under twenty one team maintains that a one hundred percent record by reaching portugal two one in moscow to extend their lead at the top of group six and the battle for a place at the twenty thirteen european championships in israel constantine south of reports. russia had started their qualifying campaign confidently with two wins on the road and a goal difference of plus eight in their third encounter the russian space they may do tricks one mission which a go on home team q just outside moscow and the series a man took control from the story in a first have a few scoring opportunities. for a moment of slickness after half an hour we'll certainly do on the phone himself there truly are marking the edge of the box and hammered the ball through the rules and the flailing hands of the goalkeeper to get there to go at half time however whatever they had coach said the host at half time seemed to work as russia came

out even more determined and everything swung the hosts way within just four second half minutes first by only a couple of cross to the four corners when alexander cocooning headed home the twenty year old forwards increasing she's telling really playing to an impressive five goals in three matches and then substitute in fellow dilemma. go forward the other smaller group will bust three defenders to beat the keeper at the near port to make it to one up to fifty four minutes and that's how it's been used the home side to do you control in giving the gorgeous new chance to equalise. 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 make the right decision. cold said we should play our game in which sort of defending would score and win the match on the time it happened we conceded an awkward goal to come from behind and deserved when to go didn't have any scoring opportunities in the second half russia know what to do

with nine koreans from the miter well who should be the gate into good name but ever our team. tennis now on top seed rough on the ball was off to a quick start in his quest for his maiden shanghai masters title the spaniard making light work of lesser known compassionate. the dow settling into the last six day with a six three six to win after seeing the bite into the second round the second seed andy murray has yet to pick up his racket up to three g. because an off with drew if you try to find your eight having scored a walkover into the third round well joe wilfried tsonga became the biggest name so far to follow the fourth seeded frenchman buying out church and she corrie how is that seed that the fair at his safe a strength is finding it backing fast canada's play on each hand like that but that is compassionate on calls for a yet another spaniard fernando verdasco the follow on number one had to battle back after conceding the opening set that's dominated from then on breaking his

opponent six times to win through in just over two hours four six six three six two the final score. and that's what the sport's knees i think.
