leaders don't realize washington is actually in a weak position at this stage. hobbies lou the chinese are not very happy at those developments and i think insight to some extent america's actions are much more provocative than they might be but from another perspective the chinese economy is growing in her normas pace and the american economy is not so it's perfectly rational for the chinese leaders to in effect except these two print papers on america's side and just realize that another five or ten years the chinese position will be enormously stronger relative to america than it is today given their very strong economic position right now and the vast amount of dependence america has in selling its debt to the chinese from a rational point of any america's obviously in a weak position for that reason but a lot of american leaders seem to not recognize those realities or is still thinking that america is in

a position it was ten or fifteen or twenty years ago the enormously dominant world superpower and that just is not the case anymore. or better to set up his own institute in china to study social economic developments there so as the world has yet to see a major standoff between washington and beijing it's a good taste of our interview with him which you can see in full in about twenty five minutes time. they have been building their military but still you know the u.s. has a military that equal all the other realtors of the world put together and i've heard of we've heard a lot of talk about multi dollar world but last century was over. this would be very simple. really is the u.s. and china that bipolar world will be dominated by a bipolar connection of china and the us and people will make countries will make decisions to calibrate their their actions against what they perceive will be the

and nato missile deployments really in eastern europe is no longer a plan it's well underway in poland romania even as far as turkey and russia sees this as a major threat to their national security what russian officials are looking to demonstrate today is first of all information that they have that they've put together through research that proves first of all that broke states according to the u.s. and nato which they say the system is against like iran and north korea don't have the capabilities to reach europe so there's a lot of questions surrounding the goals of this system so post russia's border they also want to demonstrate through a computer model how in fact the system does pose a threat to russia's national security in terms of details and are hoping that they will take the step in trying to pin both the u.s. and nato how much of a concern this is to russian sides and how much they need some kind of response if they're going to make any kind of headway washington continues to stress that this

deployment is no way mentor to directed against russia and this is something quite frankly that russia just isn't part of what they want to see and have been demanding are written legally binding guarantees that this defense system is not directed towards russia especially so close to its border with that said no major breakthroughs are expected it's not years let's not forget that open mike in south korea when president obama told him it better to hang in there that compromises could come out the election in the selection of your forces in many countries of the slope what is. seems like we're going to hear from the fictional two day summit wrapped up is that there needs to be baby steps that this is a difficult issue both sides are going to push to the end to defend their interests . he said when america's military web now spans the world with many eight hundred bases and a quarter of a million personnel explore this massive military presence in our special report in the next hour. to a substantial degree and one problem or another socialism has spread the shadow of

just sixty kilometers south of london is one of many the government intends to drill and the people who live here have had no say permission is already been given for fracking to start and that's the hole that will be pumped with water at one thousand meters it's not shallower than most of the fracking sites which means the risks of tremors a much higher but so too are the chances of toxic chemicals seeping into the water supply and that's the worry for residents who live nearby the fact that fracking could take place four miles from my home makes me feel very angry very disillusioned very disappointed in our legislators to things absolutely exasperated that they can even countenance sanctioning because it is an eco sidle technology it's short term it's short sighted halfway between the capital and the coast bulk i'm surrounded by a network of reservoirs that provide water to much of england's densely populated.

zip it to the business now with what have you go business over here i care all not as impressive pictures i have to say but i am talking about the markets so we have up and down movements all along pretty much after this appointing unemployment rate figures which have reach record high now in the eurozone who were expecting the europe to be trading and negative territory today but it's in fact the complete opposite picture as you can see both the footsie and the facts are added with a dioxin faget in the over a wong of percent the south not drug makers and banks are leading the gains and investors are also awaiting a key interest rate decision by the european central bank i will have more on that later as soon as that decision is made now moving on to russia here surprisingly the markets have made a u. turn em back into negative territory both the ideas and the my six losing every round half

a percent. and what we know that is that investors basically have been pretty much in celebrates or your mood because of the public holidays many of them are still on holiday but this is the picture we're seeing right now let's take a look at the main movers all and the my six figures that we see in there are pretty much related to earnings reports for the first quarter when it comes to power generator and we know that in the first quarter a drop its net profit dropped by almost forty percent when it comes to fly carry some disappointing results there as well its first quarter net profit almost halt compared to last year and one of russia's the largest oil companies sort of witness to gas which is a mouthful to pronounce i have to say there what we saw was that it reported a loss over how this hundred and sixty dollars for the first quarter in all these three companies post the there is also according to russian accounting standards now moving on to exchanged. the euro is still losing against the dollar when it comes to the ruble was simply to much more or less the same figures it's moves in

again so both of the major currencies this thursday moon on a chart of japanese markets are on the whole they're close there because of a public holiday so we are focusing on the hang signs of a banks are leaving that the clients and investors are pretty much reactance and disappointments and jobs that are coming out from europe and the u.s. because in the u.s. we saw not only that factory orders the quiet but also there was a negative jobs reports as well now if we take a look at the u.s. we see that it's a mixed performance on was that of course the markets are closed right now so that we're seeing the picture at closing as i said fact though you bring all of those and also we're expecting this friday jobs reports that come out that would sell april's performance but many analysts say given the negative data that we've received so far it will also be disappointing a result there as well now in other news of russia's food retail market has become the biggest in europe with almost fourteen percent growth last year it has

overtaken france and almost a third of the increase was the result of inflation pushing total sales to see hundred thirty seven a billion dollars however poor trap it's a spending on food one hundred forty dollars a month which is the still half of wall the average french consumer spends. and that's what i have for you this hour carrie thanks for that speech against it well coming right off a recap of our top stories our special interview stay with us for that.
