the. banks. thought i was. the new. foreign minister starkness and thank you very much for sitting down with r.t. well it's a pleasure iceland has recovered remarkably well following the two thousand a global financial crisis can you briefly describe to me how iceland came out of the circumstance they found themselves in in two thousand and eight well you great we were the first country down during the crisis but we were also the first country or. apart from the rest of the countries in europe with him problem was the fact that. made an economic plan with. me stuck to the plan we stayed

because we took all the difficult decisions we didn't book but you know we we want a little bit different we're going to come instead of just. everything measures we also raised quite a lot reading about this. but regular income for what. they did make it able to pay that. and that of course we also put money into infrastructure projects stimulate the economy so we went in mixed mixed path really that is what was different. considering the turmoil in the e.u. economy which may go into a recession now but iceland be better off just staying away from the european union i don't think so i'm pretty convinced that the e.u. when you go on will go through the present difficulties and will sail through the

rough seas in the end i believe that the you will be a strong recovery long before but you already see that it holds more than hold it for example against the american dollar doing well in the. world for example it wolf. stronger than so i think it is a currency. in iceland you have this special situation where we are probably the smallest the nation with an independent currency and then be globalized world but we find ourselves i mean if you are a small country with very little independent currency you you become like a prey that is attacked by all these sharks all the. so. therefore a lot of icelanders they think that in future there will be filled with a new growth so that is what we really are seeking oh yes. but won't you this is

something that will be it's a decision that will be taken by the people also holding a referendum we've already. put in a lot of what we're seeking by joining the european union is a greater currency area with greater stability lowered rates and hopefully better shelter for another crisis that may loom in future for europe and the world i saw in that four of its big banks fall in two thousand but supported sectors of its economy europe is doing the exact opposite right now as forging our aid to the alan banking system while imposing austerity measures on people why isn't the european union learning from iceland experience one of the big companies they probably can't of articles these big countries big confident patience never look at the

small fish in the pond and ask themselves why are they doing well but what we did what was completely opposite to the euro zone countries and to you even to the united states is that we didn't socialize the losses we didn't let the taxpayers shoulder the burden what. phone call. go away with losses but we did the whole thing we sell. millions the average person let's just say the state government did the profits of the individuals so you put the people first before the corporations out and that's what you that's what we do in life that that sounds pretty nice pretty considerate work for us it worked for us and in the end i mean only four years after the crisis you know when when the world completely wrote of iceland what you see

a small country that is doing well we have the highest rate of growth in europe now the new figures showing about the growth in iceland three point five percent projected to be that. in the same area for the next two years unemployment is down to four point five percent four point five zero point five years or so on and it is working the icelandic system is working do you think that a european union will survive with all of its current numbers or g think some will have to be offloaded greece i think it will survive and i'll tell you why i think greece as you put it so eloquently will be offloaded because it will be so expensive for europe it will be very expensive for some of the rich countries of europe from so i think people will just come to terms and come to the conclusion that it will be. easier cheaper to save greece. and i think that this what

will happen iceland is one of the key players in the arctic region that is estimated to hold thirty percent of the world's undiscovered gas deposits and thirteen percent of the world's undiscovered oil deposits could the arctic become the new middle east just a few decades from now perhaps not a new middle east but. the arctic contains a lot of untapped resource. if you just think about iceland in the future of iceland limiting within perhaps twelve or twenty years you will have three oil fields north of iceland one with the iceland economic zone that's one which we know this business pretty well. should just that may be so i think definitely in the arctic you will see a lot of new wealth drawn from in the future that will be to the benefit of

countries like yours like russia like iceland like greenland possibly the fairways as well and some others but it isn't the only opportunity i mean if you look at iceland we are placed so to speak in the affluent of the arctic ocean and some of these spills are exactly in the areas where we knew where the currents are poor let's go between iceland and greenland so let's just think for a moment the pub what happened in the gulf of mexico christ if that would happen worth of iceland at the extreme low temperature oil doesn't degrade nature really but the catalyst doesn't do not work it would be a couple strokes so we have to tread very very carefully. but the answer is yes i think a lot of nations will drop quite a lot of wealth from the arctic how do you respond to recent reports of chinese investors becoming increasingly interested in leasing land in iceland and what do

you think china's involvement in the region will mean geo politically well the icelanders. reacted very positively in the first place thought this was a very. interest they welcomed this interest and china like russia has always treated iceland with respect you know our friends in the past even of systems like russia did during our crisis i think there's a lot of apprehension now by the icelanders about china this is probably and possibly by. external media about all seem to be afraid on iceland's behalf but what will happen is that there will be a new traffic route across the arctic definitely and china is looking at the because it will cut the cost so. transporting chinese goods from asia to europe by forty percent so in iceland there is

a lot of interest in certain areas to work with chinese on developing this in the future i think. you will see that anyway however things developed by stunt will be one of the stepping stones between. europe where the ice has melted in such a manner that you will. you will have a new car group. that will be pretty soon perhaps within some two years ago iceland came up with something called a modern media and national have its legal framework to promote investigative journalism considering the fact that iceland and you yourself have become the victim of wiki leaks what's in it for iceland to promote such a legal framework well i wouldn't phrase it. the way you do with a bystander a victim of little is but you'd powerchair very well i mean you're talking to

a guy who certainly saw a confidential report might. plus turn the pages of the media actually the big leagues group made the first trial run with documents related to iceland because they had some particular connection to icelandic individual but. in the end this resulted in this bill of like islay still a lot is being proposed in the icelandic parliament about what's been embraced to a certain extent by all sides of the house i mean iceland at least tries to be a partner but wants to be transparent but this doesn't mean that we want to be a haven for illegal things not at all but what we're trying to do of this bill proposed sponsored by individual m.p. is trying to lay a groundwork for

a cooperation between nation where it is easier to blow the whistle to publish things that might be negative for individual institutions or governments but nevertheless good for the society as a whole i mean for example if you have corruption within government i think it was positive that it should be put out in the op open. that's the angle i take with me but the. foreign minister thank you very much for your time thank you. for sure is that similar to the do you think it should be trying to markland turkey in its look ahead a little over a year ago turkey was being hailed it as a new leader a good model for the muslim world among many turks the. you

chill down full force the organizers to red flag the race after thirteen full laps six riders fell in total that the driver stayed upright and managed to pass over and say you had started on pole i was awarded second game champion instead take to the podium. meanwhile elsewhere there was a dramatic end to the rain a world series russian just missing missing out on being crowned champion at the final race of the season in barcelona with more on that is constantine patel off. fourteen points separated the new york yard from stuff in one door and before the final race of the complaint and i went to a dramatically affected the results of the morning qualification session as well as the race clear out felt no pressure and captured a crucial pole position while his title rival had a disaster's run and had to begin from sixteen sports yet the twenty year old

belgian produced a fantastic start as he overtook ten opponents to go six on the second leg but he touched another car in the torn and one door and was forced to retire for the first time this season and could have had to finish on the podium to grab the title unfortunately after the second leg by touch with somebody and i went out of the race so. intense then i thought ok it's it's all gone gone again meanwhile said that way case and was comfortably head of the chasing pack but first date in year old was fined for not making a stop on time and sleeps to third and then his team paid for not changing tires as the track dried and it was impossible to keep up his speed so clear out had to watch as a victory sleep through his fingers and he eventually finished eight interruptions for the. tires because the tracks into a sleeper and wrecked and there were some clouds coming and we thought that the rain will roll down again so. of to make sometimes wrong choice doesn't make right

choice there was wrong choice all over rowland of the four tech team was the first to take the checkered flag however it was one borne who stole the show as he was crowned this season's champions and takes home half a million euros our fear really delighted after after securing a title but i mean after all today after qualifying it was it was going to be over and. i was going to have to lose a championship because i was starting p.-six dean and my rival was starting on pole so i think it will it looked all. much like an incredible job but my team and everybody around me it really supported me and said it was not done yet it was a thrilling climax to a great rivalry at the circuit to. hopefully both one door and then we'll take the next step and move up a calista formal iran or three point five and maybe in a couple of years time will be watching them compete in formula one. archie

barcelona spain. now the first season of the international student possible league has got underway more sky with twenty two teams from six countries taking part but russian organizers hope more teams will sing and role as from a cost threat reports. the uniforms i is be able unites the highest echelons of student basketball from russia ukraine belarus kazakhstan lithuania and estonia the sports popularity in those nations is a long way from north america's and c.w.a. march madness but there's no doubt the organizers will do all they can in the inaugural season surgeon believes it's the end expansion student basketball in russia is not at the level that we would like it to be in the long run so i'm sure that they exist so there are a whole student basketball teams plus the international teams will help us to resolve the issue and we probably will go to the next level next season but this is

a trial season so probably there will be mistakes they'll be problems try to make it work they'd her national student basketball league has been a work in progress for many years and mosco state university along with sponsors and russian government officials has finally made the first step towards creating a highly competitive college pool most people with the good basketball is generally a game for young smart people and here we have students who are just that basketball has always been extremely popular with students and we hope that one day our team will be taking. hard in top international university competitions and come out as winners of course must get bored enough to do you get the eye as bell's board of trustees includes at least three russian ministers and top management from one of the country's leading banks that fact alone could potentially ensure the i is b l's permanent status let alone the creation of basketball hubs iran russia but

for now it's all about trial and error and of course and to see as well as our goal for the season is to get to know each other better we'll be definitely running into lots of issues related to visas flying between russia and two to any and and other countries and stuff like that so during the first trial season we'll have to learn to deal with that despite the risk we still need to start somewhere we need to experiment with and it being journey begins with that experience they seize in the eye as bales exposure will be limited to the six former soviet republics but the players themselves will get a chance to assess their strength against and see them and top european universities as soon as may of next year at the international student basketball festival in the capitals the rest where i'm on call for of our take calls. not as old school and i would like news headlines coming through.
