counted down during the crisis but we were also the first country up. apart from the rest of the countries in europe that were in problems was the fact that really made an economic plan with i.m.f. and we stuck to the plan we stayed the course we took all the difficult decisions we didn't but but you know we want a little different way down the road here. instead of just. adopting everything most of us we also raise taxes quite a lot meaning that the state had much greater income. they did make it able to pay that. and then of course we also put money into infrastructure projects to stimulate the economy so we went to a mixed mixed path really that is what was different between us and europe considering the turmoil and the new economy which may go into that perception now

but iceland be better off staying away from the european union i don't think so i'm pretty convinced that the e.u. when you will go through the present difficulties and will sail through the rough seas in the end i believe that the euro will be a stronger currency long before but you already see that it holds more than hold for example of the american dollar doing well in the. open for example a point five percent stronger than the so i think it is a currency that will. in iceland you have this special situation we are probably the smallest the nation with an independent currency and then be globalized world we find ourselves i mean if you're a small country with very little independent currency you you become like

a prey that is attacked by all these sharks all the hats so. therefore a lot of icelanders they think that in future there will be felt with a new growth so that is what we really are seeking well oh yes. but mind 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. greater currency area with greater stability lowered rates and hopefully better shelter for another crisis that may loom in future for europe. i said that four of its big banks fall in two thousand and eight but supported key sectors of its economy europe is doing the exact opposite right now it is forging out aid to the elling banking system while imposing austerity measures on the people why isn't the european union

learning from iceland's experience well the big companies they probably can't of. the big countries the big comfortable asians never look at the small fish in the pond so 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 did your. own. risk. go away with losses but we did the whole thing we. really miss the average person let's just say the state government did the passage of the individuals so you put the people first before the corporations of iraq says that's

what you that's what we do with that that sounds pretty nice pretty considerate it worked for us it worked for us in india i mean only four years after the crisis you know what in the world completely role of islam 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 so on and it is working the icelandic system is working do you think that the european union will survive with all of its current numbers or just think some will have to be offloaded greece i think a bill 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 than the future of iceland limiting within perhaps twelve or twenty years you will have three oil fields north of iceland one within the iceland economic zone about 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 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 they knew where the currents a poor 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 most 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 out a lot of wealth from the arctic how do you respond to recent reports of chinese investors becoming increasingly interested in leasing land and iceland and what do you think china's involvement in the region will mean geopolitical well the icelanders have reacted very positively in the first they 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 because it will cut the costs 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 route 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 certain 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 the modern media and national have its legal framework to promote investigative journalism considering the fact that iceland and you yourself have become

a 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 want your free will i mean you're talking to a guy who certainly saw a confidential report made by the camp eric an ample. of plaster on the pages of the media actually the league's 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 similar to being proposed in the icelandic parliament and that has 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 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 on it but it hasn't been passed as the foreign minister scorpions and thank you very much for your time thank you.

a range short malaysian grand prix to cut the gap tonight a cheapie leader you're going to renzo to twenty three points with just two races to go down full force the organizers to red flag the race after thirteen full laps six riders fell in total patro this stayed upright and did manage to pass over enzo who had started on pole position and he was awarded second place champion casey stoner completed the podium. has won the rally basically this is first victory for the factory citron team and secured him second place in the overall standings behind world champion sebastian there who crashed out on friday. but elsewhere there was a dramatic end to the run a world series russian than just missing out on being crowned world champion at the final race of the season in barcelona from there with more is constantine put up off. fourteen points separated the new york from start to wonder and before the

final race of the can being in a way dramatically affected the results of the morning qualification session as well as the race felt no pressure and captured a crucial pole position while he started all rival had a disastrous run and had to begin from sixteen sport yet the twenty year old builder produced a fantastic start as he overtook ten opponents to go six on the second leg but he dodged another car in the tour and won the war and was forced to retire for the first time this season and had to finish on the podium to grab the title unfortunately you have to decide can lead i touch with somebody and i went out of the race so. then i thought ok it's it's all gone gone again meanwhile we had set a great piece and was comfortably ahead of the chasing back. but first dayton 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 the out had to watch as a victory sleep through his fingers and he eventually finished eight interruptions for the rain tires because the track seem to be slippery and red and there were some clouds coming and we thought that the rain will roll down again so. we'll make some subs wrong choice doesn't make right choice today was wrong all over roland of the four tech team was the first to take the checkered flag however it was wondering who stole the show as he was crowned this season's champion and takes home half a million euros now if you're really delighted after after securing a title but i mean after all today after qualifying it was that it was going to be over and. i was going to. lose the championship because i was starting p.-six dean and my rival was starting on pole so i think it will it looked almost 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 agree it's why i've already at the circuit i've got a long year hopefully both one door and then will take the next step and move up to calista formal a run or three point five and maybe in a couple of years time i'll be watching them compete in formula one constantine brother archie barcelona spain. and finally the first season of the international student basketball league has got underway in moscow with twenty teams from six countries taking part so far but russian organizers hope tains will sing rowers from a cost of half explains. the newly formed the i is b l unites the highest echelons of state in basketball from russia ukraine the roos kazakhstan lithuania and estonia the sport's popularity in those. nations is a long way from north america's and c.w. march madness but there's no doubt the organizers will do all they can in the

inaugural season so that she believes longevity and expansion student basketball in russia is not at the level that it would like it to be and the long run so show that they exist so there priam a leak last year than 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 moscow state university along with sponsors and russian government officials have finally made that first step towards creating a highly competitive college pool is capable of 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 part in top international university competitions and come

out as winners of course this could bring us to dish you get the i as b. l'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 a few of them were for our goal for the season is to get to know each other better will 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 real 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 barrister. experience they sees in the eye as bales exposure will be limited to the six former soviet republics but the players themselves will get
