bully mean you basically but it was all over the manger and he she is on the international and regional agenda because it looks like we have agreed to give everything here such planets regular listeners and but at the whim we. also we have agreed to give since that would see you improve the start of the ear listing by a let's roll mechanism of this dialogue she lived through specifically we decided that our deputies of the church will regularly need to discuss the issues of strategic importance which is including military and political issues thank you you know we're. confident that was such an approach to our dialogue will improve the quality of our practical interaction and will see. including on the matters on the news not. very urgent on the international agenda we have also discussed listening to important issues on the international agenda so on the

most cases our interests converge of course sometimes but then shouldn't we go we defer our vision differs as to how we should proceed towards our goals and ours does. to day with him made it possible for us to agree. with will discuss was most honest looking more intensely for ways to bring our position with those closer on the tactical issues let's see if this applies to the situation in syria and both russia and great britain. wants to support the annan plan but he remains the optical leader there and it's always nice to use i recently respecting a serious territorial integrity and sovereignty and understand some ensuring the political process that involves goals and bodies in syria and led by syrians themselves without foreign intervention. but in the mushroom we're also studies

fired with our interaction within the i'm scared of the president as they have she said with. a five plus one group on sloan's that the uranium nuclear program the recent you know recent meetings we have agreed to develop shit on t.v. goes in prose is the next iran will take place in june in moscow. and we all delivered the idea was to it is necessary but isn't a good thing that's to prepare thoroughly for this important event wouldn't you say we are caught parading with great britain. their international issues as well including afghanistan last bush new deal you were in the middle east settlement good in spite of those and we have agreed to continue our contacts. as regards bilateral relations that is you issue for them see what progress has a stabilizing contacts are and see for all our economy and so we have always had to make a trade and investment that argue they directly affecting the interests of our economies

and a well being of our nations and we are satisfied that it was not the droid by thirty percent last year notes but he has exceeded twenty one billion dollars and also british investment in the russian economies give that to go it has reached a level of twenty seven billion dollars that we could with the new world as far as russian investment in the british economy is concerned i think you're stuck with what modest and i doing sod four billion dollars and we hope that it will grow in the future in the national economy and that will be with us to our economic woes and players so we'll you're distilled these figures up. and that it's our investment and those rules in the future will go up of course we also expect on the machine and there will be no discrimination against our companies on the british market but at the moment so we have agreed to provide further into. this is the for

business contacts between russian great. until you look into the answer contacts and we're all interested in that other news there's of course there's also a long standing tradition of reform cultural context between our country as a species of that has been going on for a missing jury's reaching out to remember the food in the both our nations with the goodness. we have a green smoke that it's what you consider the loss ability shootings to log book notes the i'm going to have the but you could it's no good to feel here is of culture in british language in russian viceversa twenty fourteen and twenty fifteen in yuma guess those that are new and who naturally we talked about the olympics should is the one they considering that just two months little you know is there a will be only the some merit alone picks and paralympics in london and then two years later and you saw it you will have weeks or olympics and paralympics for pleasure you would have your legs but even that's so we have also covered sports betting to do so in this new zealand and continue we dubbed the new joint statement

on these things even for the months the olympic but their jerseys for this notion and when used with this are a firm's our commitment to the olympic values on the whole divorce missed this out of the meetings in the world weary from the importance of self from such conflicts are going to last for some clue to matters on which we still defer richness of years and sometimes those differences are what serious so we have also discussed those today and we agreed to continue our dialogue and improve our interaction on every subject and i think my country forty now give the floor to william hague. well thank you very much should you sit here with farmers the laughter of today and indeed to be one of the first to congratulate him on his reappointment as foreign minister and i think this visit comes at an important time in a relationship with the inauguration of an new president here in russia

a fortnight ago and the formation of a new ministerial team a week ago. russia is a strategic partner of the united kingdom on the world stage and we look forward to close cooperation on many issues in the coming months that is why i'm pleased we've been able to sign this morning as you've seen a structured foreign policy dialogue on foreign policy issues and this is particularly relevant at a time when we are coming up to the united kingdom chairing the g. eight in two thousand and thirteen at the same time as russia will be chairing the g twenty so a strong dialogue on foreign policy issues is particularly important over the coming year as this of course sees the london olympics we've been talking about the olympics and we're working closely with russian partners to share experience of

that head of in two thousand and fourteen including through a host to host agreement and we will continue our cooperation on the olympics and we're celebrating very shortly in the u.k. the queen's diamond jubilee would be easy for us to dwell on the past alone in britain where commemorating much of that but we're very focused on the future prosperity on increasing and developing the economic and commercial links including with russia and i'm pleased that last year this was one of our fastest growing export markets exports were up nearly forty percent for russia in two thousand and eleven of course the most important items on our agenda in the discussions we're having today are global security and foreign policy issues and as far as the

level of says we have discussed the situation in syria in particular i think we've had a very good and franken on this disc. about the situation there we've not always agreed on that when it has come to some of the resolutions we've put forward in the security council over the last year but we are very much agreed that the plan is the best hope for syria and the moment the only hope for syria to try to break the cycle of violence i think we are all deeply disturbed by what we've seen over the weekend that has illuminated the continuing killing and abuse in syria i spoke to kofi annan yesterday of course he is visiting damascus. today and to urge him to make every effort to start the political process. and to encourage of course as we must all encourage the acid regime to

implement the plan they have not yet implemented the six point plan of kofi annan i think russia has an important role to play in that as well as we've discussed today it's not as if the alternatives in syria are there and and plan on the ass and regime retaking control of the country the alternatives of the annan plan or ever increasing chaos in syria and descent closer and closer to all out civil war and collapse so i think we all have to redouble our efforts to try to make sure that the acid regime implements the annan plan and we will work closely with russia on doing so and there needs to be a fundamental change in the approach of the asaad regime if syria is to be saved from ever greater chaos and disorder which would not be in the interests of russia

or indeed of any other country in the world. so i welcome the discussions we've had about that and the cooperation that we've been able to demonstrate in the ether plus three talks last week in baghdad on me on iran's nuclear program and we have a joint resolve to tackle this and one hundred percent of the efforts of the british government on this is going into finding a peaceful diplomatic solution to a dispute with iran i welcome the fact that the next round of talks will be hosted in moscow. and we look to iran to have more positive proposals at that time than last week in baghdad so there is much that we're working on successfully in the relationship between the u.k. and russia i don't deny there have been challenges along the way and of course there are also some unresolved difficulties but we have been building our

cooperation in many areas and since the prime minister's visit in september we have been building cultural corporation and people to people links and we have agreed today not only are structured foreign policy dialogue but also that in twenty fourteen and fifteen we will be able to make that period the u.k. a year of culture and language here in russia and a russian culture and language in the united kingdom and i think that will be very beneficial for our long term relationship between the peoples of countries we are also. pursuing agreeing together a joint declaration on the olympic truths as we are the next to him pick hosts and so for the united kingdom this is an exciting year even a historic summit because of the olympics and the diamond jubilee this is one of

the ways in which we are working with. russian we're glad to be working closely with russia on this at an exciting time but also determined that together we will be able to help overcome some of the very serious problems in global affairs over the coming months thank you very much. but he was sure the mix for the people who do cooperate with some bottles the appeal we can all of us is go to you know the president. isn't going to remain in the good will come out of there is essentially no one considers acquittals there but you don't comment the situations around the mass murders in syria it's about mr hall and the church where hundred sixteen people were killed and then thirty three people in angst i don't know please comment. solution and we will kill again. perhaps also started to move as we have just said both of us we have a common goals. and also with the opponent people in the clouds and other

countries as regards the implementation of the cause of the honest planet the people and we're very concerned that this planet thirty two is not being fulfilled very satisfactorily in their results progress in reducing gun violence but i'll burst so we violence life the one that took place to go to the who are going to school on may twenty fifth but confirms that we are still far. from reaching our objectives. this situation is not easy but that again when we found out about this tragedy members of the u.n. security council decided to respond and we supported this initiative. even though it was a day off for those of us in a stupor we insisted on having an emergency meeting of the u.n. security council not just looked at only pushed coordinating preserve the e-mail

and adopting some of the decision and so on our initiative supported by great britain of. the u.n. security council field but it was really extraordinary consultations yesterday and we also suggested that when this was approved that these two general movers who is the head of the universe or a mission. syria as opposed to brief the blue go to members of the un security council and what un observers saw when they visited the place of this tragedy consider during this but video conference the general confirmed really that in the saloon indeed they could see the results over to every shelling and tank shelling in the region they also found many corpses many bodies were squids like any of those with a bullet hole system of close range the seems to least and other evidence of violence that they have this means so in this case. so you could we have

a situation where to both of us a little party is probably more involved than the marks of blame for the deaths of innocent people including dozens of children and women who get support from the use reaching what is going trolled by armed militants but it is also surrounded with the many ways pro-government forces to please a slope it's the youth but i'm cross we need to use or there's a point out who is to blame me see in the blue within the framework of the investigation by the un observer mission in syria are positioned in your case presented in this statement last year when we released and we have coordinated in the un security council yesterday the condemns any violence is a sure cure but the it and the stresses interest was the responsibility of the syrian government or the implementation then and slandered usually primarily in not

using having the weaponry in populated areas and it also stresses the responsibility of people armed opposition not to use violence seward your affairs is also a little misleading mostly belated in atlanta we discussed the situation with mr hague today and we all agree that when you're leading countries international slayer is doing that on the influence of those in the streets that the law is in syria to work that you should take additional effort and use it to fellow blown up mechanism to control for the implementation of the annan plan and this is what we'll work on. thank you yes well we were both countries were involved in. producing the urgent consultations in the security council. yesterday and that agreed a clear. statement condemning what has happened in the particular in the village of

elihu in homs and to quote from the statement the attacks that involve the series of government artillery and tank shelling on a residential neighborhood and the members of the security council also condemned the killing of civilians by shooting at close range and by severe physical abuse. this particular tragedy has again drawn the attention of the world to what is happening in the syrian. there have been huge numbers of people killed perhaps fifteen thousand and the killing of children so obviously demonstrated in this case draws attention to the particular loss of life among young people in syria so often being the victims of torture abuse and murder. and so i'm sure we have been right to say in the united way what we said from the security council

yesterday which went on to we went on to say that what happened constitutes a violation of the commitments of the syrian government. has just done so call on all parties to seize violence and we are not arguing that all violence in syria is the responsibility of the asset regime although it has the primary responsibility for such violence of course the implementation of the annan plan was meant to start with the pulling back of the forces of the regime from populated areas they have not fully implemented that plan and so we are in agreement on the other very important point that from us. just about exerting more pressure in order to make sure that the annan plan is implemented to give the best chance that it is implemented we will do everything we

can to assist with that and we look to russia as having a particularly powerful role in being able to do that and to exert additional pressure. you know he was a kid that on conducting. you saw a question to both of those weapons and meet them with an ease president assad still part of the solution to the syrian crisis always it now better if president assad stands aside so that a solution can be found as was found in yemen including sure well we have a long standing view about this in the united kingdom we have said all the way back from last august that finding a solution to this involves him. standing aside but the important thing is that the annan plan is pursued in whatever way it can be pursued by kofi annan meeting the

six points that is now the the urgent priority there are a variety of ways of doing that but it certainly involves a political process and so our view in the united kingdom is longstanding about this and they absolutely urgent priority is to have the annan plan implemented that plan involves a plural democratic system being created in syria and everyone can speculate about what that would mean for president asset and by the urgent thing now is to try to get such a political process started under whatever terms can be agreed between kofi annan and the asad regime the opposite of relevant opposition forces in syria and that is what we are all united about doing. because it's you know the

sure i'd like to see the following it's from the new you know it's a global priority. is not to find out soon. controls syria will know what the syrian regime used to shoot our priority. business from such a violent acts as you use it up but the killings in the sunni people especially so does your facility should ski's your local town and also ensure a political dialogue so where syrians themselves can determine the future of their country was seized on the grounds for the battle to the unsolved territorial integrity of and sovereignty of syria but i and all international players so you food and respecting the right of the syrian people to determine their future this is all right or. if it doesn't with a lot of them that he has done and we believe this should be yes the priority of

for all the other players in the world. and beautiful actually was so if the system of those saving human lives is the primary objective everything else should be secondary but we will have so when some of our partners are stronger thought it was as especially those countries that are closer to syria then russia or the united kingdom little start saying that the only solution would be to change the receives the lid i started to doubt the sincerity of their statements when they say that they want to stop the violence that would get us you have to issue this is the if your priority and i see this is just stopping violence and this is what everybody claims. in the newsroom then we should put pressure on the regime and on the opposition and make them stop but if firing at each other exists to make them go to sort of the snob still to this is a thought that you go you know we should move to civilian suffer with everything

else is secondary they should go if you come to the negotiations table we all realize this and landed and we have all this prove to go to a position politically sensitive there is a plan to move there is a point in this trial and on the little it will tell them that you should start between the government something serious and. and all opposition groups as addition that's what the plan says lonely and at least can be easier too as it's that all it takes is for us all to agree on that we will all international plays should be green and i appreciate it when it will be on the list or hague says that russia plays a special role in the wood impression of syria we do put a pressure on the syrian government almost daily. and it was largely contribution luther's to that made to syrian government will go the last fall yet of the good mesdames to adopt the arab league slathers machine and then dig into

deeper loyce areas of observers on its territory in the national socialist leave unfortunately the arab league looks like shit in the being influenced by some of its members eventually terminated this mission for obscure reasons then we don't understand. we made a nature of contribution students can play the system. it's in the getting the annan plan approved by the syrian government and we would like our efforts and it's . not just was usually to be able to put us by somebody that we just want to assure that other is jewish and we will make equal now for this but i think this the i mean international pleasures of success in europe and in places because we also have younger she's with all opposition of europe some surprises and we can tell from our contacts with an opposition leader is that that's something other international players are saying something different with to

them solder than what we're saying we encourage them to comply with the annan plan but it's a little feeling we get when some players are in the same thing with them and you can summon pollute sheets but it longer mine in the end in atlanta to get an excuse to shut it for calls and for foreign intervention this is dirty play using unusual the little guy. and shy savory explaining our position so much detail but this is crucial because because it means that some cannot hear a source you don't want to hear a so you have to choose between very nearly or alternatives option one of c. it shifts and if we all. knew liquids we want to know the many end of the lance which we need fresh early on all players within syria all armed groups that are involved in this conflict will slowly i'm glow what is it seen you could look in your hand without me and really it's just me in the newsroom some of

the lawyers believe that this can only be achieved in the short of changing their regime then nothing will work we have to say you look honestly down to them that we do care about civilians what you do is reason you know when this when that is very said would be the loss of civilians lives injuring but which is our primary target is to change the regime when it's really have to mean brink and i feel as it's very confident that our decisions is rupert russia's position and the position of when you're there you're going to we have to fulfill the examine the plan but it's up to syrians to do that and we have to work with all syrian groups for that loss and we should work in a harmony with the money and i think we all understand. that it is important not only into helping screen down and look to bring up the syrian opposition together and make it ready for dialogue with the government working as an visaged in the plan he did but it is equally when you're concluded a call to abuse nice international players and bring them all to the position where

we encourage a group all syrian party uses to all syrian forces and you can lie with the end of the platters. especial discipline with the way part of it so there is it's you units you need to make the syrian opposition united we're going and we're in the international community united but it all converges to one point that we should all be a revealing and you take real effort to implements d.-n. and glands go with those ideas and ensure that everybody involved is ready for political dialogue for months and then gets done. lastly eastern question for us that is to us just a question for both foreign ministers how are in the. negotiations going on is there any progress in which there is a chance that they will be essentially usually between russia great great. piece of free trip to the russian capital this is r t you've been watching a live press conference between both foreign ministers william hague the british

foreign secretary and that of a good laugh it off the russian foreign minister covering a broad range of subjects and let's run them down quickly here that's focus on the mainland out of syria both the latter off and mr hague saying that they ultimately support the ultimate call for peace out of the implementation of the and peace plan however the most interesting parts of the conference came during the question and answer when questions were posed by the press let's cover those very quickly one of the questions that over the houla massacre of may twenty fifth one hundred plus killed men women and children the first question about that went to sort of a laugh it off he saying that we all have common goals the annan peace plan is forefront to put its effectiveness is questionable in stopping the violence the houla massacre suggests that both parties the government and armed militants or the opposition are to blame for it any such violence such as this has been condemned by

the un mr hague saying that ultimately on the issue of whether assad should step down he sidestepped that question but he did say the urgent priority is the peace plan or just a moment to add here that off saying that there are some dirty players getting involved external countries whether they're getting involved openly or covertly there are some members of the global audience who are further inciting violence and complicating the implementation of the peace plan more details on that at r.t. dot com we'll be back with the headlines in just a moment. download the official placation to you on the phone oh i pod touch from the i choose our story. one jaunty life on the go. video on demand teens mine comes. as a.
