you're watching the weekly on our top stories in the past seven days and breaking news right now from a rescue is still working through the night in russia's far east when all sixty seven people aboard this capsized today four people died fourteen have been saved from the icy waters while the rest of my sick. now the stories that shape the way more deadly violence in the wake of the. workers killed in the independence day gathering. the arab league is giving damascus until wednesday to stop the bloodshed or it will go to the u.n. pushing its resolution at the security council calling for both sides in syria to

talks. russia is welcome to the world trade organization after almost twenty years of talks memberships expected to bring both incentives for business and investment competition let's get some perspective on that now as the e.u. trade commissioner talks to r.t. . 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 threaten the world with recession mr de gucht leaders are insulting each of 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 there to stay and europe will do everything necessary to preserve the european monetary union it's not a matter of choice you know it's not a matter of having different turn of this there 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 to see the european central bank should also intervene vigorously and make it clear to the financial markets that the only speculation it's also fear that banks that is in the markets there is no reason for that. ten billion dollars through the i.m.f. to help the e.u. with its debt crisis what will 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. british national bank. switzerland japan. are taking together with you to be an central bank were taking concerted efforts to put liquidity in the market 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 you have the biggest and probably also the 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. bigger than to just 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 which respect to a specified suspect to fit a sentry norms for a for food is also very important what we having concluded proceed back to the old the motive sector where russia had been taking a you know that the measures and now well that we have come to and to a compromise on the that certainly contributes to more trade although 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 than it was so that it was before so i expect to. trade with russia to rise considerably some economists think countries have put in meaningless barriers to stop russia joining the w 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 with a view by both parties to get to a result so 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 clue 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 we already know. 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 food and vegetables and be for their own population but there

is no reason that they could not develop that industry no the same with cars they have to renovate their own automotive industry because it had become believe that it is agreement that we have been making will result in the modern. 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 bulls 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 but. i believe such a move. would have quite some traction on the hill is the european union along with

the united states this fall the most complaints against china since it joined the world trade organization will should be treated any differently we treat every ball the exactly in the same way i mean. when we get the complaints. we analyze it very carefully and then we 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 almost. i wouldn't call it automatic but very much. rules based approach you know 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 or russia and only us when 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 really depends upon russia which direction they take him to take that action off more than lies and get economy off being involved whole so in new sectors and probably the agreements to get into the new deal will be 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 . keep thinking. it was.

just. wealthy british scientists now it's time to. markets. to the global economy. from fines to.

twenty years ago. to see. each. take. that was responsible for causing the world's worst industrial disaster. had been abandoned in a condition where it had become a source of pollution or the most recent study that was done shows that this water pollution and spread of. more than hundred thousand people in.

ten times more likely to be. in the sea. five hundred dollars. unpunished. so.

breaking news from rescuers will work through the night and russia's far east for an oil rig with sixty seven people have. died and fourteen have been saved from the icy waters when the rest of the missing. news stories the last seven days so much more deadly violence in the wake of the concert. which saw thirteen striking all workers killed at an independence day gathering. the arab league is giving damascus until wednesday to stop the bloodshed or it will go to the u.n. it says russia is pushing its resolution meantime the security council calling for both sides in syria. and russia is welcome to the world trade organization now for almost twenty years membership expect to bring both incentives to business and investment as well though some tough competition. this

is all team sport. sports are not good for the company again coming up in a little. channel one cup russia failed to finish the home stage of the year hold it to on a high note as they lose to the czech republic in the shootouts. best of the best football giants possible off. in the final the problem. home advantage chinese athletes dominate at the bottom of the super series trying to lebanon on home soil. let's start with team russia has won the combined relay race at the third stage of the world cup in whole foods. the maker of all good to look at all desired so i like civil court and pool in left their rivals absolutely

no chance and had some problems with shooting but had to made sights of a gradually pull to russia among the ladies by the and second stage crushes men worked in the shooting and fast on the track. closest rivals czech republic by twenty seven seconds to finish second in france came home. now to the us now where russia have failed to finish the home stage of the euro hockey two on a high note if they suffered their second straight defeat at the channel one cup so . a loss to the czech republic in a shoot out for three to put up a force against us. sweden guaranteed themselves a channel one cup for the first time since one thousand nine hundred eight have to beating the russian team on saturday while the hosts face the czech republic in a battle for second place and the visitors needed only thirty one seconds to put their noses in front a misplaced pass in the zone and the mantra of income made the most of his chance

netting to go however russia kept attacking the goal was in the air and equaliser was just a matter of time. there for rifle decisive makes lead shot in the top corner on a powerplay a minute and a half into the second period and the red machine took the lead. deny it alexander peters jorgensen wrist shot from the blueline but i think i was alone in front of the empty net on the rebound two one to the delights of a back to fourteen thousand capacity mega sports arena but the czech republic made it all square in nine minutes s.k. trails are one guard forward scored his second of the ninth converting however the russians restored their one goal lead as alex on the spot on the round and it back up to his backhand bust the goaltender into the third period where the czechs levelled mather's once again nick was the quickest on the rebound as russia's new deflected the shot in front of him three all in the game went into overtime which

ended goalless in the shootout turned out to be a between being the goal and i do look where they check forward netted old three exams while twenty five year old or a dual of only managed twice and the czech republic climbing from behind to quality in their zero four three victory in the shootout. at podiums binik years ago is our best and. we finally heard his skills in training and it's very hard for me to deflect to shows and it seems like. it was unhappy to see you to go three times in the shootout you know it was our first home tomans on the delf and we were nervous because of the pressure we should have performed better. the full impact home arena we were a little bit unlucky we fought until the very end and i think this team has bright future so xenical i believe suffering the second straight defeat at the channel one club to finish in third place but still top the overall standings of the euro

hockey tour constrained by the above fourteen. and final game of the competition reigning world champions finland sweden four three so russia are still on top of the year after two stages with twelve points so in have nine the czech republic eight while finland seven. wants a football where barcelona have won the club world cup that's after baiting brazilian outfit santas in the final clash in your home or japan it finished for neil in favor of pep guardiola as men the game advertised as message versus them paid to be boss alone against centers goalkeeper ruff. the catalans dominated the game all the way through with the opening coming from lionel messi seventeen minutes in sonar so that have a double delayed for the european champions with a precise strike from inside the box bosses. held the rest of the intrigue and half time. progressed the score there. in the second half messi metaphor wanted to pass

a second problem to the title in three years. like the current club of great home side because she were rushed on penalties and placed. in the mid-south of president. held a news conference in talk for a third that had method many mistakes he made in the past year but he called on colleagues to continue with him positive attitude faith of course also expressed hope that brazil properly complete its preparations for the twenty fourteen world cup despite the slow progress of construction. but the executive committee is very do about that but we're not so much worried about the construction because you know the world cup's everybody said they would not be ready the day bill be ready prandelli. i would myself now take up this vocal bullshit on a president to level and then the person month or second month of this year go and

meet the needs of state. staying with football the two top sides in the english premier league are in action on sunday the match of the day sees match to city host . cities cross-town rivals united open proceedings away to new boys keep the alex ferguson's men claimed their third successive league victory in london united beat around this by two unanswered goals from raleigh and carrick who have pulled beat us the bill away to a. currently entertaining sunderland late you score that is one nail. of remarkable change finally table topping match to city now it's home to the faith seated arsenal its goal is after thirty five minutes of play. now marcus well it has won the men's half pipe by the still burning world cup in finland the thing turned out to be best. for the conditions is high cost performance or hopeful of
