but it you also missed a bet if said that. gas which is right now going through grade will continue doing so that this pipeline is there in order to fulfill growing demand in europe and europe will expect more gas to be supplied and according to gas plants this is exactly what is going to happen and now with the second line of the pipeline capacity is there. and let's now take a quick look at the markets wall street started today in the red with our poll dragging and nasdaq lower european equities are also feeling the pinch trading mix that's top of the hour ahead of the euro zone's finance ministers meeting later on monday greece and spain will be on the agenda on the currency market what we're saying is that euro is trading a lower to the u.s. dollar and the russian ruble is shedding values to the currency scale here in russia equities are following in europe's footsteps with oil dropping for

a second straight day in a row it's not really a big surprise and staying with the markets russia oriented funds received the most cash among the emerging nations last week emerging portfolio fund research says one hundred seventy million dollars were invested into the country analysts explained that russia's undervalued stocks offer growth potential amid global monetary easing and to the world bank has released its forecast for the russian economy saying it will slow down over the next year prosper richter believe economist for the institution explains what to expect. but this year we projected it to be three point five percent to three point six percent that assumes essentially the oil price being the same as last year so that's a notch down compared to the previous two years and it's particularly if you look at the pre-crisis performance of russia in the ten years prior to the growth.

russia was seven percent now russia is just growing at half that rate. and next to r t talks to billionaire presidential hopeful frank stronger and tells us what needs to be done so that his native austria can avoid the fate of its austerity burden neighbors. i'm joined today by frank stronger the billionaire founder of the largest car park manufacturer in north america he's now turned his hand to politics in his native austria and hopes to stand in the general election in that country next year mr straw x. thanks very much for talking to me nice to be here now tell us a little bit more about this political party that eva stablished refers to from my friend frank a you're crazy to be i was eighteen years eighty years old young but nevertheless reached a certain h.

i'm well the two i don't need anything from anyone i just wonder if i was born in austria so i have roots here and want to surf the austin people to bring a better system to the austin people bit but a future where you've been described as something of a euro skeptic is not fair the problem we have in europe now is besides our own no we had let's say and i speak now for australia we had this enormous the government overhead and now we have in addition to european know ahead in so it be very difficult to make a competitive product at a competitive price if you were elected would you pull austria out of the single currency. though in the overall i'm. for a strong europe i think especially all the people. that there were a lot of wars they had people afraid of that so basically

a strong european union. may be sure or preserve peace maybe better but what i think what's wrong is to have the same common currency because that just doesn't work. for the simple reason the primary reason why people get up and i'm wanting is they want to make a better life for themselves and their families if they'd be part of a system that they recognized that they have input and be paid accordingly to do it that would drive the whole system in europe if too many people which one at this tippett do else you know first first we got to realize we've got to think about it how can we create wealth only when we create wealth can you get this tippett now obviously you've been very successful in business over the years but

we're talking about running a country here do you think the two can be done in the same manner that there's many things are. similar and a country a country actually has got an advantage in business if there's management if you would lose for a few years in a row the shareholder us well will dismiss the management. in the country for instance you take the governments of foster care which have been ruled by two parties for the last fifty years they loose money is every year. but they haven't in cheeni is structure where by very little democracy where by they. reelected every year now over fifty percent of the jobs in austria at based on exports if the country was to come out of the eurozone. be at risk wouldn't they no

i think i think we're pretty other way around first of all we should look at every every structure is in the final analysis everything what what i do mean is a good for the people so i said look there's a number of ways we can do it one we could go back to the shilling one we could we could each country has got their own euro right for instance greece would have your spain were tear down your italy would have in europe germany let's say would be one on one percent maybe austin two hundred percent greece might be if there's a changeable currency greece maybe would start out maybe with forty cents on the euro maybe italy maybe at seventy percent seventy cents pain maybe sixty percent that allows that each country can take their own measurements and see

how. competitive they could be but isn't what you're suggesting essentially the creation of a premier league within the single currency with the likes of say austria germany france and the rest of the currencies well left to their own devices no it could be . they can they could determine their own destiny a lot better because. their great great problem was for me and understandable that. know when banks could see. that the european union is coming to get or they thought gee those are great investments sold invested heavily increase when they could see that the greek people don't really change they still have lift for thousands of years like that that they will

live for the next thousands of years that way. they could see that their investment was a failure then they run the countries and say look we need help. because they said luck if you don't get help then the banks will collapse so the greek people actually got were a little off that the banks cashed in on those monies and it's unfair and i had to me it was not understandable that the countries especially. european countries especially germany both the greek people how they live. it's no country's got the right to say this is the way you're shurtleff let them decide how to live with the austrian elections have to be held by september of next year realistically what do you think if you chances well i've been very successful and it time i am that they usually wind up number one so when i go into something or said luck i

going to put a lot of effort then they're gonna walk out they could very serious lee and i think as long as you have a chance to communicate with the people the people know that i want to surf the country that there's nothing for me am that i know i got a lot of common sense. and the problem now we most politicians they never paid to h. is to never get a little under their fingernails they don't know how the economy works are you hoping to pick up votes from members of the electorate who upset you to the corruption scandals we've seen in austrian politics in recent times i think there's many politicians coming to us and be telling locked doors. those. principles and to when you commit to the principles the principles are based on through. transparency and fairness so we were to have at dick's. picture rules. connected to that then fine

because everybody can make some mistakes but a lot of politicians sometimes went in with full of idealism naturally if somebody has been in there for many many many years and you you know einstein and stan. he. defined stupidity when you do always the same thing and you expect different results right so politicians like that i don't know that be difficult that we can absorb them but there's a lot of the younger politicians days they recognize that they would like up principles they're welcome so would you be putting yourself forward as a transitional leader who is looking to bring about the next generation of austrian politics made it absolutely clear that i would not be an arse to be called upon that spawn this councilor right that i will not be upon those can slip because

there's expect that to walk for twenty four hours a day to be available for people that they want to walk to a lot in my life but i will i will closely watch the principles and when in french on the principles those were the those who would be put out from the party how would you see austria's position on the international stage changing well. basically the people they like that austria has itself committed to not neutrality right and i think austria is especially if we were running a great government if we could improve the living standards of last. rance then austria could be a guiding light for the rest of the world how things could be done and that's my

hope still public entree out of the euro a common currency just does not work right and i'm not saying one country spread it and the other one but we have to see their sprit pulled there with customs a certain behavior and they let's just take the greeks step been fine for thousands of years it's not for us to say how they should live there's nothing wrong to be a bit on the beach is not the wrong to think your glass of wine and let it be this is your a pleasure to speak to you thank you very much nice to meet you pleasure to be here. eat.

thank you very much. had a friday the world cup qualifier against russia despite picking up an injury in sunday's el classico. big hitters a mile long samuels inspired west indies win the t twenty world cup after thirty six one victory over host. and already for. twenty

fourteen of the longest olympic torch relay rigs in the history of the game. but first football and it's been confirmed cristiana rinaldo will travel with the rest of the portugal squad ahead of friday's world cup qualifier with russia here in moscow the real madrid forward picked up a shoulder injury in sunday's two two draw with barcelona at the nou camp but after being examined by club doctors on monday he's been given the all clear to join up with the rest of the national squad a final decision on his fitness will be made closer to kick off both russia and portugal have one hundred percent records from there too much is so far in group. meanwhile ronaldo is rael teammate sergio ramos insists the league title race is still alive following the two two draw with brasa the catalans top the table with jos a marine his men eight points behind but offender ramos says there's still a playful. i think the spanish league is very long and we still have lots of games

and points to play for so to make an analysis at this stage would be foolish because a lot can still happen there is still a lot left who would have liked to reduce to get to barcelona but to have more chances to do it. to cricket now and the warden has resigned as the t twenty captain of sri lanka follow his side's defeat to the west indies in the final of the world cup the windies but it first in colombo and appeared to be on course for a mini eighteen defeat when at the halfway stage of their innings they were on just thirty two for two but and marlon samuels singlehandedly turned the innings around hitting six sixes in his fifty six pool seventy eight eventually they ended on one hundred thirty seven for six from their twenty overs this the biggest hit of the entire tournament from samuels the host proceeded to collapse to one hundred one all out handing a thirty six one victory to the windies with the title of t twenty world champions

league and jayawardene had to contemplate what might have been. had a chat to the selectors before this tournament started. going to step down from t twenty captaincy after this world cup i personally feel that you know. bring forward i think we need a younger leader i think it's a great opportunity for somebody to start in the t twenty format. elsewhere a guy could be a day has won the chicago marathon and of course record time forty five thousand runners from one hundred fifteen countries lined up to power in the streets of the windy city conditions were near perfect for the elite competitors with temperatures hovering around five degrees celsius last year's winner kenya's moseys most up was missing with an injury put in a dominant display completing the course in a time of two hours. four minutes and thirty eight seconds. in the women's event

russia. was aiming to become only the second ever four time winner having won the race for the last three years however she could only manage fourth place behind eventual winner. at side by side who narrowly beat kenyans return chapter. now with a twenty fourteen sochi winter games less than eighteen months away the organizers have unveiled the olympic torch relay road and it's the longest in the game's history michael reports. the olympic torch relay is an essential part of assuring in the next olympic games and this time the torch is facing its longest journey standing over sixty five thousand kilometers which is one of the half times longer than the earth circumference however the length is the project's biggest achievement the most important things were given the opportunity for the everybody to feel for the contrary to be involved and

inspired by the interest from all around the wall to run so i'm sure we'll be showcasing the face of new more than russia. blows it if sustainable changes. are happening now and this is a great time to demonstrate it to the wall taking on such a daunting route across unpredictable and difficult terrain is another point that's making this one of the grandest of torch relay but it's the fourteen thousand torchbearers over one hundred twenty three days it's making this really even more historic and russia seems to be making sure it takes full advantage of the exposure pression people say very warm. very head you know very funny people and very open to everybody so and i really want like every person before we see him to. remember. our form of rationing now it may well serve as a good catalyst to rally a nation what's with the torch to reach

a whopping two thousand nine hundred towns and settlements in the end it's also a great motivator to the countless athletes who will be taking part in the games because when you imagine yourself in this atmosphere at the olympics not just any competitive event when you start experiencing it all it simply gives you goose bumps and you begin to realize how much more you want to reach the highest position and so yeah the motivation becomes even stronger with so if you're really bent well it's been a long time coming but with the twenty fourteen olympic torch relay less than a year away one can well and truly say that the twenty second winter olympics are just around the corner and with the relay itself set to become the longest in its history one can only hope that the games themselves will make their own history. r.t. moscow. now staying with the such olympics and the first test event has been held at the ice berg arena the main a venue for the games figure skating federation cup was held at the arena

a dress rehearsal for the season ending grand prix in december from the outside the arena looks ready catches the contemporary design as you can see but on the inside there's still plenty of work to be done nevertheless the organizers still managed to put on the figure skating event it was i'll be open to athletes and journalists or the curtain will be officially raised at the international grand prix in a couple of months time. on the arse where there's a busy day in the kontinental hockey league on monday with seven matches taking place in the early game metal need to go score three unanswered goals that are more severe claims a narrow two one victory against trucked all up to mobilise needed a shootout to defeat me to log numbers next on the road there are for the pictures taking place as you can see. the following russia's recent success of the olympic and paralympic games in london this weekend gave some of the country's leading politicians the chance to show a. their sporting prowess with the third parliament games here in moscow

constantine to top off as more. the bomb games were first held in two thousand and nine. from all over europe the chance to show off their sporting skills the age gundry's fielded their cream of the grew up in five disciplines danny's stable ten years foods are bad into armchairs jim russia was beheaded at the three day by the bread and of the olympic committee on xander zuko who gave the home side a lead up to check managing his opponent and then captaining the football team at a gala match you know we're going to these games have already become a good tradition i think that such informal communication with other deputies is very important and the friendly atmosphere made everyone feel comfortable and we could talk business and pleasure russia who have hosted the event since its inception is where one of the inaugural games however the three any a wrestler governor way from russia's grass and went into the round as defending

champions meaning the hosts were eager to get their hands back on the silverware might be at all you could come up with hammer power into the third gaze but our rivals seem to be training really hard and as a result we started losing it and disciplines where to make an adult meeting with all four hundred fifty deputies and start doing physical exercises at the duma to make sure only the best can make it to the team. several nations were able to go up on former professional athletes who have since moved into politics luckily for the other competing nations boxing wasn't one of the disciplines as russia could most former heavyweight world champion new guy while loop in their squad the biz from the east chose table tennis but failed to land in knockout blow losing every single match among others former tennis world number one my right side who swapped his record for shin bet and took to the full beard instead of the tennis court martialing everybody enjoyed i think is the right thing to do so with us all

together from other countries and things the right things and everybody is enjoying three days off on russia's one of the killer is overall meaning the club stays in moscow until the next games however as the cliche goes winning is not everything at this event with political figure is simply have a degree in your arena for relaxed and informal communication constant in but out of my routine. and that is all from the world of sport and i'll be back with plenty more in just under two hours time here on alt. culture is that so much different and there is a huge decision on the mark when when is the end really the end the strategy of the u.s. led mission in afghanistan is in a shambles green on blue attacks against coalition. while.
