this is our team broadcasting live from moscow our breaking news story this hour russian oil rig off the country's far east coast has gone down during a storm more than sixty people on board the search operation is in full swing with fourteen people confirmed rescued and today. fresh clashes flare up in western kazakhstan just days after demonstrations ended with eleven people dead in . the west. pressure on the syrian regime as russia fights to through its draft resolution at the u.n. aimed at solving the crisis peacefully. plus the wait is finally over as russia has

accepted as a fully fledged member of the world trade organization after eighteen years of tough talks. but next we'll talk to the e.u. trade commissioner for his perspective on russia's deputy a membership. you trade commissioner called the goodies in geneva to welcome russia into the world trade organization he warns it comes at a time when the euro crisis threatens the world with recession mr de gucht leaders are insulting each other the euro's fall into new lows how worried are you about this stage of the euro debt crisis i see that. people some people continue to fing that. sooner or later we will have serious problems with the euro. and that's obviously influencing the debate but this is simply not true i mean the euro is

going to continue your is there to stay and europe will do everything that's a see to preserve the european monetary union it's not a matter of choice you know it's not a matter of having different turn that this is one very clear cut political decision you know is there to say full stop nicolas sarkozy's just call david cameron an obstinate kid while e.u. leaders getting personal lives not up to me to make comments on what president sarkozy is saying but generally i think one should avoid to become personal in that kind of discussions these are difficult discussions for everybody we're going through a tough time and so let's keep cool i mean. i would say don't get personal francis said britain's credit rating should be downgraded before it's do you agree with them when you look at the financial position. of great britain it's not better than the let's say consolidated position off of the european monetary union

obviously not. the difference is of course that there you have a state with a central bank that is a lender of last resort and that makes the difference look at what the situation of of the dog. i mean and look at the debt situation in the united states it's also certainly not better than the european one nevertheless they don't have problems to borrow money on the international financial markets for exactly the same reason you know and i think we should learn from that and go in the direction of. mutual izing did that then you will see the interest rates going down if they succeed the european central bank should also intervene vigorously and make it clear to the financial markets that only speculation it's also fear that banks that is in the markets there is no reason for that was promised at least ten billion dollars through the i.m.f. to help the e.u. with its debt crisis what role could play in the e.u.

to me this fears that everybody so old states have an interest that. nothing dramatic happens with the euro. because europe is the biggest economy in the world you know so everybody has a clear interest in that so it's not by accident that for example a couple of weeks ago the fed the reason the. the british national bank. switzerland to japan. were taking together with you to be an central bank were taking concerted efforts to put liquidity in the markets the inside some by accident because obviously this is of major concern to everybody in the world and russia being only our neighbor but also being the major source of energy to europe which means that their biggest and probably also their best clients they have an obvious interest in not letting

degrading the european economy the united states thinks exports to russia can double over the next five years off. how much can you expose to russia will also go up i see several. big advantages in russia becoming a member of the w t o. for example that is part of those accession conditions it's. a completely new set of rules that respect to specify introspect official sentry norms fora for food is also very important what we having concluded proceed back to the old the motive sector where russia had been taking a united through a measures and now well that we have come to and to a compromise on these that certainly contributes to more trade although that fent that i see is that it will be possible to attract more foreign capital because.

there are exceptions to the w.t. oh we'll. give them assurances they were in a. legal environment that is more transparent so that it was said that it was before so i expect to. trade with pressure to rise considerably some economists think countries have put in meaningless barriers to stop russia joining with. how fair has the process been i haven't been active in this file for the last eighteen years have been. steering the process for the last six months let's say. and. i believe fair negotiations yes i mean sometimes stuff and they go situations but with a view by both parties to get to a result they're also major interests at stake you know it's not a chat of course it's a negotiation but i believe that they were fairly treated and they were also asking

us to be let's say lenient a name for example in the automotive sector was not easy to come to decision because there was this new scheme with a very high level of local content and so on so it was not easy i think it's a fair deal you know and once you have a concluded the deal you should stop discussing the content of the ones that is a deal is a deal and then you execute it many russians think they've made too many concessions in agricultural industry to join the. how can you show them that's not the case it's certainly not true that they made. too many concessions. we know that already. russia is a big market for our agriculture products and that has to see also with the fact that they cannot. answer the demands on their own they cannot so they do not produce the necessary. vegetables and before they own population but there is no

reason that they could not develop that industry no the same with costs they have to renovate their home automotive industry because it had become its i believe that it is agreement that we have been making the will result in the automotive industry but of course we have been negotiating in a way that also our own interests are protected that's where they go sation is about going to have to negotiate having in mind your own interest but also having and by then also the other party needs to find its interest in the negotiation because if not. even if you were to conclude a negotiation it would never be a fruit off america's jaxon van dijk amendment balls favorable trade relations with russia has been called a relic of the cold war should washington now get rid of it it's up to the united states to decide that's but. i believe such a move. would have quite some traction on the hill yes the european union along with the united states this fall the most complaints against china since it joined

the world trade organization should be treated any differently we treat everybody exactly in the same way i mean. when we get the complaints. we analyze it very carefully and then you take a decision and whether it's china or russia or even the u.s. that doesn't make a difference i mean once there is a problem we take action and i think we should do that and we do it in what i say an almost. i wouldn't call it automatic but a very much. rules based approach. so we are not so. looking for four victims all enemies i mean we are not interested in that game so for us it's the same whether it's china russia or the anybody else in china's trade with the jump it's almost three hundred percent in the ten years that it says it joined. how much do you expect russia's trade with the e.u. to go up by isn't exactly the same i believe. because. the

chinese have been doing. from a historical point of view this is tremendous is developing an economy which is very much across the board. russia's economy yes and much more focused on a more limited number of sectors and i think it still depends upon russia which direction they take and they take the direction off more than lies a good economy off being involved told so in new sectors and probably the agreements to get into the euro will be had more food for them but that's up to them energy prices in russia are much lower than in the e.u. how would this despondence be resolved we have. a scheme in accession. whereby they will have to call two to market prices over time. so that is not only is only a truck by the way but once you are member of the you know you have to go to market prices and you cannot have

a double pricing you trade commissioner karel de gucht thank you for speaking with l.t. . i . think. it was.

our breaking news story here and i want to the russian oil break off the country's far east coast has gone down during a storm with more than sixty people on board a search operation is in full swing with fourteen people confirmed rescued but today. clashes flare up in western kazakhstan just days after a demonstration or work has ended with eleven people dead in. the west and its allies known pressure on the syrian regime as russia fights to pull through its no resolution at the u.n. and that's something the crisis peacefully. the way to spawn the over as russians accepted as a member of the world trade organization eighteen years of tough talks. with unions here with sunday school spirit.

joining us for this edition of sports today there's plenty head this sunday morning including these stories including. can't win them all after five games in charge russia's new ice hockey coach zillah to love bill or dean off his first the feat the. best of the past football giants barcelona and santos meet later on sunday in the final of the world club cup. over the north american nation dominates the slopes the opening ski cross world cup stage and winning gold in both the men's and women's. russian national team ice hockey. suffered his first defeat since taking over the reins in june the red machine going down to sweden in game two of their home euro hockey tournament the channel one cup

constantine but top off watch this one force. russia and sweden started the clash cautiously however. isn't a lobby leading of small and didn't seem to be as solid in defense as they were in the opening match of the tournament the swedes won't buying on the pressure and finally broke the deadlock midway through the first period stuff from cornwell sent them back home after a week of shit converting a power play one thing and the guests headed to the dressing room in the right frame of mind in the middle period sweden's defenseman cornwell doubled his tally after a powerful shot from the blueline the russians pulled one back having one man up and xander out all of made it pinpoint pass and sergei chirac of found himself a marked on the far poorest and sent it to the net three minutes into the third period and the red machine levelled mannerism the ball played to the delights of the full back mega sport arena. if managed to fire it into the top corner and there are all of record one more assist the crowd was still cheering the home favorite

but trek rumor took the lead again in just a minute carl crossed and dick axel son put his name on the scoreboard three to gauge shell silver style defenseman cohen momente that two goal lead with his third scoring with four distance slipshod with down minutes to go russia threw everything into the final minutes of the game and pulled the goaltender for an extra player but failed to cut the deficit for two was how it's finished. her skating is right. this is a big commuter train this is us and we were tortured and when a lot of parts don't leap in there and create a lot of chances for that. it's hard to name the reasons for our defeat right now we have to analyze our mistakes we shouldn't be too disappointed too we just have to work hard to improve our play so russia suffered their first defeat with the help however the head coach was optimistic about the lessons his charges can learn from this loss i think we deserve this defeat sweden played really well

aggressively and put constant pressure on our defensemen that's why we made so many mistakes we didn't expect the swedes to play like this we have to draw the right conclusions we understand that from now on all our opponents will play in the same manner. russia will be eager to finish their home tournament on a winning note as they face the czech republic on sunday because they bought out of our team. in the days of their class the czech republic went to town on world champions finland beating the nordic side five warm the czechs take on russia in the final game of the competition a little later today. now it's been a hot topic of debate between two football legends pele and maradona on the world's about to find out if some tall striker neymar is indeed a more complete player than barcelona messi like pele claimed the team is meeting today in the final of the club world cup in japan giants have been peppered with questions about facing brazil's hottest young talents like nineteen year old name

or his twenty two year old team it follow him there again so pep guardiola keen to play di and his team status hot favorites this by seeking their second global title in just three years of trying to be up against a team who could only manage a ten place finish this season domestically despite about their star man is relishing the chance to go up against the best. but i mean i think it's going to be a historic game not only for me but also for my santos team me it will be a very important match but i'm not nervous i'm very calm now of course our opponents are a formidable team but as i always see no matter who we played games or where we're playing we'll just play or own game. now watching the game in tokyo will be free for president sepp blatter the swiss also taking the time to soothe worries over the rate of progress for world cup twenty fourteen in brazil before intriguingly adding he's to meet top government officials from the country anyway. but the

executive committee is very to about that but we're not so much very devoted to construction because in all developed cups everybody said they will not be ready but they will be ready finally but i will myself now take up the smoke up also on a presidential level and in the first month or second month of this year i'll be go and meet the head of state. let's move to english football where the top two are in premier league judee on sunday manchester city host arsenal in the much of the day but it's their cross-town rivals united who open proceedings away to new boys q.p.r. for a less than stellar member domestically alex ferguson's side look to be back on track this month he'll be seeking a third straight week win in london after that villa host liverpool while spurs will be eyeing third spot at home to sunderland the main course wrapping up sunday's games table topping month chester city home to fifth seated arsenal the gunners though in confident mood boasting seven wins from their previous eight

matches. we had one turn you probably do know what. to do and showed you because you're not on the way before. the second biggest years away from home for us. and we know wolf because we do want to be a dubious but. we are prepared and ready to give between two to read again it's been a great start to the ski cross world cup season for team canada brought the lehman . climbing on top of the podium in both the men's and women's events following the opener in italy the men's event seeing women get off to a great start against russia yes give me clear up off sylvie in my ear with a nuisance of himself trying to take korotkov seconds but the frenchman would crush leaving the russian with so for another comedian david duncan he was very slippery

slopes meanwhile in the women's portion three skiers colliding early on before thompson crushed a little later it was vast left all alone to top spot. and we finish up of boxing for a look at the man fight fans all across russia hoping can do what nobody else from the country has managed to beat one of the klitschko brothers robert. more either. he's known as the russian knight some call him the white lion whatever his nickname alexandre pato that's been his russia's main contender in boxing his most prestigious division heavyweight a rising star in two thousand and four when he won olympic gold he soon gained so it could be station as a pool punching out one win after another but that they steered a steady course with a single this nation title belt against the king of he'll which go at the men

who currently holds five major belts with his elder brother of it being the w.b.c. crowns to belittle their family collection nevertheless one of the most anticipated belts of recent years is yet to happen having been called off several times because of injuries or contractual disputes on the go stormy a puzzle where sometimes the kids call brothers came on i don't want this fight yours meanwhile some people tell me they don't want those fights it doesn't make any sense let's just be fair and square it was only serious injuries that stopped me from fighting blood in me or on all those who are close to me no that's true i hope we will face each other in the ring sooner or later on satellite our scores on the best way we come with your boxing or churning although the question of when is still a pressing one after the family has dealt with the big title earlier this month so

that in his next set the base mark of these the reigning doubles the old who's awake champ than a year ago defeated but it can still make the next level off their very controversial split decision which you look at your who do you see maturity and work for you i would love to see tennis never deficit face marco haunts again but you'll see what it looks like it's my turn to fight him. well i'm ready i've never picked out opponents so i would fight anyone i have to walk three limbs are gone but the sole mark of whom are cool like expressed a desire to fight another exam got to believe it can be done and when you always pay attention to these kinds of offers if a man wants to fight let him get the fight his mind and we said yes alexander is also obliged to defend his title against the w.p. his number one contender has emerged that enjoyable so the epic battle between the russian knight but that didn't and doctors still harm or what timothy should go

still keeps books and fans waiting making them even more curious though the outcome . of that will you with a movie it's hard to make any predictions for this fight we will see what happens of course i will train hard to avoid his job it's no secrets i will need to break the distance and get inside but it's just words for now let's wait for the fight and see the talk made real use not many would argue but xander but they're going to still one of the most dangerous threats vocalise cause rain on the world books he wrote. that this fight has to take place in the name of the spoils of boxing itself . but our team. i for one would love to see it happen that's all the sport for this hour i'll be back in just under two hours with more weather specs.

well. science technology innovation all the list of elements around russia we've got the future covered.
