but you get press twice. well let's hope so it's clear that washington is now turning its focus first of all to china and to a certain degree towards a wrong although keep in mind that because of the escalation of oil production in the united states itself through various techniques such as fracking and getting it from shale oil as. well there is a possibility that the united states will not be as dependent upon that part of the world for petroleum which could lead to a reconsideration of its military empire in that part of the world the problem of course is that the israeli lobby is very potent in the united states of america and israel has been making noise this is you will know about attacking iran and if there is a real does attack iran it will be very difficult for washington to stand down it will inevitably be dragged into that very dangerous conflict and therefore it makes
1:31 pm
sense not to escalate sanctions against iran but to engage in dialogue with iran ok you think that's what we're going to see in the elections not no further rhetoric possible striking and wolf we're going to see talks now the election's over yet. well let us hope so there was a report in the new york times some weeks ago that said that already talks commence between tehran and washington i should also note that there have been some very ominous reports in the us press recently that suggests that the stuck stuck nest computer virus that was released in iran supposedly to destabilize the iranian civilian nuclear facilities has backfired and somehow has affected computer networks not least in chevron the major u.s. oil giant that shows the danger of this kind of tension and conflict with iran it can easily backfire as this computer virus will show and of course is what we're

seeing mr screen as you're speaking it wasn't a great back it was the of a. back in the white one now that relationship is going to. well obviously mr netanyahu is going to try to make nice belatedly with mr obama it's well known that mr netanyahu was a former business partner of mitt romney the republican nominee for president it's also well known that the relationship between obama and netanyahu was not very good at all not only that but elections are coming up in israel and there might be a strong competitor against project and yahoo will be running on a platform that mr netanyahu has basically damage the all important relationship with washington not only that but the palestinian authority is going back to the united nations seeking an enhanced status which is also going to put israel on the spot so mr netanyahu is obviously swimming in choppy waters and it makes good sense
1:33 pm
for him to try to dial back the tension with mr obama really quick last thirty seconds when we go on the line want to ask you about that drone incident that was reported last week only today iran says it will deal decisively with any object to violating its their space is it put it revealed just bring up that of you is that iran shot at a u.s. drone a few miles from its airspace last week was that i washington respect mistaken washington provocations you think briefly. yes i think it was a mistake i think it was a provocation the iranians charge that the drone was over iranian waters washington says they were international waters in any case there are many questions that need to be raised about this proliferation of drone warfare it raises searching questions about international law and it's a political ety all right thanks very much for being on the program much appreciated author and story gerald hold thank you. strong in a broader unable to return to a sick mother we're reporting on. who is a god from coming home to the us. we talk about. that could be.

the legacy no one should be proud. of scrap metal littering pristine arctic landscape building stilton over their foundation pipes spilling black smoke over the snow covered peaks the traces of the soviet industrial activity on the spitzbergen archipelago don't make a pretty picture the guiding principle here is the worse the better locals like to tell the story that back in soviet times when norwegians were visiting barons were they also an express lane. and how prosperous the settlement was well times have obviously a challenge when they saw it lags they still attracting the region tourists or barons work cons watch native cash that's why when. our goal is

common as was uncovered here a few days ago instead of throwing it away the local administration decided to paint a venue and put it at variance work central square that can do nine hundred eighty s. there was a burgeoning mining community the soviet union was determined to maintain its own costs. are located halfway between north america and western europe the burden archipelago is part of norway but a special status that allows other countries to set up industrial bases here in the middle of the cold war it served as the use of western most outposts now it's one of the soviet union's last preserved relics. of the soviet union if it was cut off from any financial support. it's a curious site for western tourists and i think it could be even more appealing for russian travelers to keep its presence on spitsbergen russian film until

a coal mine here but in terms of profit is far behind local souvenir shops so between mary bill it is a big hit the defunct are incurred and still helps keep the money flowing guys it's the russians doing your show but you can't play in rubbles are almost enough to grow your local administration is increasingly under pressure to bring the infrastructure up to more than standards if these modernization efforts are not very popular with tourists if you come into a very authentic place like arms should stay the way it is that would be my wish i mean that's the part of the a little you know authentic traditionally opulent. i should not i would not like to have it in a shiny condition to be on as the time to change even for the better is not always good for business something that even a local band has become attuned to when they try to add the morning russian songs
1:37 pm
to die repertoire the audience called all they wanted to hear it was a song comfortably familiar. oh you're watching r t is coming up to twenty minutes to eleven o'clock at night this night so november you can see me that must mean business q business talk again of course about capital outflow it's been a big story that continues to come up in the business bulletins yet again and data goes on and on and on and we're actually going to analyzing the numbers because it's not necessarily always and negative thing at stake heavens i'm going to be talking about caps who out on the field. holds for the russian economy what else is going on business and well something fun as well we've had some places in as to how
1:38 pm
much the coliseum the eiffel tower and moscow's crime then that actually they were . pretty penny wouldn't hear. them with you know indeed so yes as they were. growing concerns about the future of the global economy make investors move the money from the markets to what they deemed to be a safer place and moscow is no exception the country faced a five billion dollar capital outflow last month was state regulators expect in the overall money out to reach a near sixty seven billion dollars this year but it is not all bad because the country is a massive outflow not a silver linings got tom fast said at the ready for us to. either case it so the situation right now there. well yes it will return to a familiar theme as you said this is this comes up again and again and it will
1:39 pm
continue to do so the headline figures at the moment. five billion dollars of investment left russia so not an insignificant figure there and that brings the overall for this year at about sixty to sixty five billion dollars slowed compared with about eighty billion last year but we're still talking about a lot of money leaving russia and that sounds pretty bad. really disastrous right now it does sound it does sound bad let's go a little bit deeper it's not so terrible most of this is portfolio investment this is money that invest in waters around the international markets it comes and goes you know people can't can't control this money so so directly. what it doesn't take account of is money that goes into things like the factories the the retail outlets that open in russia longer term investments business partnerships money that seeks to stick around and my. some profit that way the finance ministry estimates that that itself could come to about sixty eight billion dollars which could roughly
1:40 pm
equal all of this money that has left as we heard a little earlier. which of course capital flight is not a good thing for us however it's not only due to the investment climate for example it's more profitable to move the money offshore than invested in russia also in the current economic uncertainty people tend to save their capital rather than invested so many companies that made money in russia are simply keeping it abroad that is so indeed they may be wanted to keep their money abroad the finance mentally does point out though there are other plus size potentially to this money leaving russia and lists have have been keen to note that this could help to avoid overheating in the economy inflation and bubbles that may result from if there was too much money pouring in and also a connection effect outflow puts the ruble under pressure and that could help russian manufacturers and produce and production which otherwise may struggle to
1:41 pm
compete from this early tom best case scenario is money comes into russia and stays it master i would not be lovely yes it will i mean it was very different let's not forget in two thousand and seven eighty two billion dollars flooded into russia so yes you know it is it is a problem but that money is leaving however yeah but if you just simply you can't fix these things down on the markets owned by noma and so this is the situation has changed a lot since then investors now they're jittery about russia it's of an emerging market it's a volatile place and so if things in or outside russia or in russia change they can they can run but on the question is what needs to change then in order to keep this money here absolutely i think. you have to consider this outflow is natural what's motivating it well the finance ministry isn't shy about saying so neither is for
1:42 pm
example the world bank in its doing business report this year published not so long ago where she came one hundred twelfth that improved its position but still things like trying to get electricity to a new business or getting business business permits it did appallingly on the rankings there is still major problems with things like infrastructure corruption and simplifying brock you see all of these things heard before and the russian government conscious is that they are going to need to improve these core underlying foundations for of for investors to want to stay in the right sun in the reality let's fast forward a year or we still going to be sat here having this same conversation about capital up like well i hope you're not too bored yes i think we think we will still be here chris i said precisely what we'll be discussing is less certain there is the potential for big changes of course oil and gas prices have a special significance for russia who knows what could happen to them prices around the world investors mood around the world can swing massively russia's market
