i'm trying hard to believe that. value was in business here on all t russia has been ranked second the economic performance among the g. twenty nations the survey by the financial times ranks each country with the same criteria applied to ministers including budget deficit government debt and employment rights over it saudi arabia top the ranking one of the lowest levels of state accounting for seven point five percent of g.d.p. followed by russia with public debt at about nine point six percent of the nation's g.d.p. while the economy has grown four percent with an unemployment rate just above five percent and took place with official state debt levels at about twenty percent of g.d.p. take the bell for morgan stanley believes russia is in
1:31 pm
a good position when compared to the developed world. around the world in the developed markets you have budget deficits of five to ten percent in most countries and you have debt to g.d.p. ratio at seventy eighty ninety percent of g.d.p. and even higher in russia you have. under ten and the government has about twenty five percent of g.d.p. so from the oil from. creditor to the rest of the world and it's running a surplus at the moment so russia looks in a much better position from a budget point of view nearly everywhere else in the world. as check out the market figures then u.s. stocks rose in friday's shortened holiday session with encouraging economic data from germany and china helping to boost the mood as well as american consumers heading to the stalls to take advantage of black friday sales european stocks also finished the day with gains are german business confidence is rising and investors
1:32 pm
also keeping a close eye on u.s. shoppers snapping out those ballgames and also helping out retailers along the way the year i continued to strengthen to a three week high off the report from its biggest economy whereas the ruble as a result was low against the euro it did gain against the us dollar say the actors and here in moscow ended the day with gains them i say it's on the r.t.s. and it just sums up one percent helped along by the fact that oil prices are heading north once again. now there is a battle taking place in brussels i have a europe's budget for the next seven years hopes that it deal will be done this weekend all fading fast as a different size dig themselves ever deeper trenches joining me to explain what the conflict is all about than and whose lie at least when we got pulled point is that the business as far as hello that may be so nick and me sign of compromise the e.u. leaders all supposed to be doing
1:33 pm
a deal this weekend what's going on well this is shaping up to be a long and bitter negotiation. process which is often the case when money is involved and money is tight now the e.u. is broadly speaking split into two camps on one side there's the net contributors which include countries such as the u.k. germany france the netherlands and they want the budget to either be first and all caught on the other surprise side not surprisingly of the countries that receive funds these mostly come from central and eastern europe that by poland they want the budget to be raised they see this is the best way for them to raise their living standards up to the standards enjoyed by the core of old. nick also met which side you think will be victorious i think it's stands to reason in cases like this side that actually controls the money the side that is putting the money in probably has more say the real problem here of course is that france germany the
1:34 pm
netherlands etc are in no sense agreed on how or where those cuts should be made so which countries do you think approving to be the most difficult i think the most radical probably is the u.k. it wants the biggest cuts it says it will not consonance under any circumstances a rise in the budget it is also refusing to give up any of the rebate the margaret thatcher secured in the eighty's as compensation for the fact that it doesn't take as much money out of the common agricultural agricultural policy as countries such as france and italy agriculture in the so-called cohesion fund make up the two biggest autumn's in the e.u. budget the other one of course is. expenditure and then administration is about six and a half percent now the likes of poland. and the poor countries are absolutely refusing to accept any cards in the cohesion fund and you can see them him out in yellow
1:35 pm
while france is absolutely refusing to countenance any cop. to agriculture spending anymore. and this is the burning question is where do you think these cuts are likely to fall not surprisingly it's going to be in that segment of the u.k. suggesting that too much money is spent on brussels itself it's a given that money is tight does the e.u. need to spend fifty million for instance on a house of european history or does the european council need a new three hundred million euro forces the euro kratz retire at sixty three on full pensions is that reasonable given that other people in europe being asked to work longer work for less so basically this is likely to be some agreement on cuts in that area but it's not going to be enough. we've been here before we've had many conversations about this haven't we so. no waiting is the question to be and it's involved actually
1:36 pm
a really very small one trillion euros over seven years which is one percent of the g.d.p. of the whole blog but the european commission has its fingers in so many parts it has its fingers all hands on the leaders of power and so the impact of those cuts is going to be greater than the amount of money involved suggest as chris we found out explains. if in the end they can't agree on a budget then spending shuts down you start to see a shutdown of a lot of the programs are coming out of brussels the bottom line is you would be in a much deeper recession across the european union then we're in right now right now do your own is in a relatively mild recession it's fairly shallow but if we didn't get agreement on the budget and if we were to go all the way to you know past that line in the sand then you're looking at a several percentage point recession in europe thousand and thirteen and that of course would have global contagion and not the least of which would become you could use such as russia. in the end the even if we do agree
1:37 pm
a budget two more europe is still in deep trouble as we know it's got problems and it's in recession in the euro. so which ever way the economy poised told the people are going to be getting less of it ok nicole reporting from the business desk thank you very much and day we're certainly be watching the situation as always. moving on then there is no longer a brief between russia and britain when it comes to meet russia has finally lifted a twenty six year ban on cattle exports from great britain the ban was originally imposed to prevent mad cow disease otherwise known as b.s.e. spreading to russia during the epidemic period two hundred people died of it in the u.k. a worldwide ban on british life cattle rate am products was lifted by the e.u. day in two thousand and six. and according to a new survey a third of russian men are ready to do pretty much anything to get a job even accept an indecent proposal and state officials who are the most likely
1:38 pm
to agree to an intimate encounter to advance their careers as for women only ten percent said they'd go that far to get a job and then if they were in the lines the employer the office of the survey said this kind of career advancement what's particularly well for only qualified personnel and middle managers. about that business for now i'll be back in just under two hours with another final to report in the meantime stay with altie full of the latest news with kevin alan. trimmings in this tree even for specialists a voice can produce several sounds it warms between aeons the art of throat singing
1:39 pm
comes naturally picked up like a language. a language of communicating with nature it said that's where throat singing originates from the unions believe not only animals but also all surrounding objects like reverse forests and even stones of souls by imitating the sounds they believe assumes to capture the power of nature. was. there are special instruments that accompany the singing give gainey says there is even a legend about his instrument a gill it says once there lived a poor shefford who had the best horse that won every competition but jealous people killed it on the horse was revived as an instrument. as it was up to full is
1:40 pm
because the spirit of the horse came to his dream and said make an instrument from the tree the sounding board from the leather on my face the strings. and to remember me make an engraving of my head part of the instrument he did so i called the instrument again which means come back and this melody only suman is called. to fly as one of the most famous groups in the republic there. next goal is to tour broad this is for you were opinion since difficult to pick up and sing so i asked them to teach me and see if i can do it. cheer it up and they would. say oh you. did that was sure i would say get up. there was you get a out oh. but now it is the part of the song
1:41 pm
and not the actual through it singing which i wouldn't even try to repeat. so maybe you have to be born here to be able to sing like this puzzled so until i met mall she looks like a deveny and i don't even speak their language but she is from japan. most sense to modern mind from two hundred years ago until stop here she's not planning a professional singing career but she keeps practicing just because it's become part of her nature. closes r.t.
1:42 pm
now moscow investigators have searched several homes belonging to the russian army including that of an attorney pseudocode a former defense minister he was sacked by president of the macpro tonight this month after corruption allegations of his time bomb squad with details. police searched eighteen holidaying recreational cottages outside moscow used by former defense minister and italy sergio colvin eighteen other defense officials those cottages were rented by another defense official himself arrested in connection with the defense contractor yanker and the possibility that it was involved with corruption involving the defense ministry this all comes after you have guinea a vastly over a high figure within the defense ministry and a close associate of suited cards she herself has been charged with embezzlement she was involved with a defense contractor all the wrong service and a few weeks ago the scandal broke that there possibly was alleged to have been
1:43 pm
a scheme to sell off eleven million dollars worth of defense property cheaply if she's convicted gania could face up to ten years in prison and unfortunately it goes beyond that as well possibly into russia's. satellite navigation system as well the company involved with building that russian space systems is alleged to have been burgled two hundred million dollars that's five point six percent of the total funding for that program all of this comes as a major blow to russia's defense ministry which was supposed to have been one of the ministries most pushing for reform in russia reform of the armed services and of the defense contracts that supply it but a mere putin has pledged an eye watering seven hundred twenty six billion dollars to defense for defense reform over the coming decades but there's also the
1:44 pm
government's push against corruption in russia and for the russian public to trust that their money is going but all this money is going to the right place these corruption investigation. suddenly u.s. intelligence reports american satellite images appear to show missile parts big move from a factory to a launch pad of the country's northwest the move seen as a response to south korean military drills marking two years since the north launched shells into the territory killing then four people just last month old military was given a boost by a deal with washington extending its ballistic missile range campaign iran dawson told us pyongyang remains though as isolated as ever. north korea's not going to listen to the u.n. nor do they care what the u.n. has the say i mean north korea is suffering from pretty severe sanctions they need food aid they just recently opened up more tourism to china at least some form of revenue and so they have no incentive to listen to any such demands from the u.n.
1:45 pm
because the u.n. and international pressure are already doing everything they can to squash and north korea's economy as it is for south korea has a lot more room to maneuver as they're not so internationally isolated as north korea by their choosing to continue this tension with the north which has been going on since the korean war with the united states and there is nothing good to come of it i don't see why they're making these decisions to continually poke the bear. russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has criticised nato's potential deployment of patriot missile systems that the syria turkey border plans to install the arms were put forward after a request by ankara alliance officials claim the systems will only serve defensive purposes it comes amid reports of intensified shelling in damascus suburbs by syrian troops attempting to advance from rebel held areas a syrian state t.v. journalist was killed in the fighting. and we declared its support for the syrian
1:46 pm
rebels germany is now while committing those displaced by the ongoing violence in the water one country is taken a step partly to ease the burden on turkey which is coping with an influx of over one hundred thousand refugees from syria but it's rare for national reports next the economic powerhouse may have an old theory of motive. with conflict in syria raging for nearly two years now yet to discontinues around four hundred thousand moved to neighboring countries two and a half million are internal refugees people run it least one more door was opened to them germany is really in principle to welcome syrian refugees manual in german journalist has been covering events in syria this summer he was in the capital damascus during operation volcano when rebels attempted to seize the city manual says the people of syria are being sent the wrong message supporting the so-called rebel side the so-called syrian national council the so-called free syrian army
1:47 pm
with they are terrorist activities toward civilians now our government discusses with a very nice face to take a large number of refugees from syria instead of saying we have a huge mistake how we can that the people can stay in their country german peal of turkish origin some darlin rose to prominence after signing a petition accusing the us of preparing a war against syria and iran and calling it an aggressor along with turkey and germany she thinks guilt could be motivating berlin. germany if military forces have been participating in many conflicts around the war so they're partially responsible for the wars and as people are running away it means they're responsible for the refugees. but if syrian refugees come here to germany what will they get people in this camp in central berlin or role immigrants and they're angry they've come here to protest against harsh german laws that force refugees to
1:48 pm
remain at whichever camp the state sends them to that's after a twenty eight day march across the country which involved them breaking these very same laws if you want to go out you go with as ice big games you can all. something like a mission you go if you come and then you don't show them you cannot enter even these small planes and then i say ok now i have nowhere to go is it is please i'm ok famous people here are from africa the middle east and asia they've been seeking a better life in a better place but it seems what they found here turned out to be yet another fight in their hopes in the way. the people we are meeting here have been running away from atrocities and violence and dictatorship in their homelands forced to give up their homes and their lives there just to survive they actually had nowhere to go
1:49 pm
and they've come here in what may be their last hope but other welcome here enough with the german leadership singling syrian refugees out they may have better chances but still no guarantees they will get exactly what they are looking for help in finding peace at home or help in finding safety in the arms of others written ocean archie from germany. a group of twenty three doctors have been sentenced to three months in jail ready court for treating protesters and taking part in mass rallies it follows a report by amnesty international condemning the gulf kingdom for it sliding into a downward spiral of repression the medics were among nearly one hundred arrested last year during an uprising against the monarchy the court ruled they could pay fallings to have their prison term suspended by previous in bahrain have been clashing with the sunni led government for nearly two years of two eighty people have been killed and thousands put behind bars during the protests calling for more reforms equal rights and opportunities one of the doctor spoke to me told me what

1:51 pm
the face of the regime and disobeyed the orders unfortunately as long as these dictatorship the genes are backed up by international forces and power and they're protecting them and their allies with the united states and britain who don't see any chance for us unless there is a change in the policy of this isn't of these countries. last campaigning is underway in spain's catalonia region ahead of sunday's election one of the hardest for decades the governing party six a monday the old referendum on independence months after one and a half million people took to the streets of barcelona in support of a breakaway drew farmer catalonia is one of spain's wealthiest regions and it will choose a new government on sunday however the elections could also trigger a constitutional crisis in spain and that is because the cattle and president aftermaths has promised to hold a referendum on independence if he is reelected and that will put him at loggerheads with the spanish prime minister mariano at a forward who says it would be against spain's constitution and also against the
1:52 pm
national interest during this time of economic hardship what kind of loans have long harbored feelings of separatism historically they do have their own culture and their own language but they say it is this economic crisis which is which has acted as a catalyst for this latest drive for independence the region as a whole pays more in taxes to the spanish government than it gets back and that really rankles the residents here with unemployment rates at around twenty five percent there are those who are against separatism some people do say that the region's economy could suffer if it is forcibly draw from the spanish market and potentially the european union market however straw polls do suggest a majority of people are in favor and that are for mass won't be reelected on sunday and therefore give the spanish prime minister a headache he would rather not have a recap of our top stories more news coming your way at eleven pm moscow time that's right after this short break.
