thank. god. that. moscow is firas off the police allegedly beat up and detained a russian diplomat in the hague to present their gentlemen's an apology while the dozen best summoned to explain. flush with cash in beijing's our finest us nothing on ice is like the european corporations and brands lining china's my to manufacturing industry will somewhat say no. and a serious a chemical disarmament is on track with the un climate as it's progress is placed by the u.s. and russia at the asia pacific summit in bonn. it's ten pm here in of the russian capital you live with us on our genial with me to one

with a top top story now russia still wants an official apology from the netherlands over the treatment of the russian diplomat in the hague police reportedly beat up the official and detained him overnight the news comes against the backdrop of another spread to between the two countries the details for march he's going to cheat you ken. the netherlands responded to russia's demand for an explanation and an apology by saying that they're investigating the incident and that they will apologize when and if they prove that the dutch law enforcement indeed violated international law now russia is not at all satisfied with such a response moscow says such an invasive an increase here and responses on acceptable and that the dutch authorities violated not just the diplomats rights but simply human rights because according to the russian foreign ministry the dutch police broke into the apartment of counselor of the russian embassy in the hague they hit him with a baton they ignored his diplomatic status and took him to the police station where

they held him for hours without explaining anything later admitted but i'd seen was released in midst of what i'd seen says they broke into his apartment on the pretext that the neighbors call the police because of some reports of abuse which suit he says are absolutely not true and that your stories have not said anything about this and like i said we're still waiting to hear that that explanation of the incident but we do have the reaction of the russian president on the incident take a listen. if you could be sure you're sure you can see if this is a flagrant violation of the. we are always clarification. and punishment of those responsible for our reaction depends on how the behave. the relations between russia and the netherlands have been tense lately the netherlands are taking legal action against the greenpeace ship the arctic sunrise which sailed under the dutch flag has blasted the lens for having systematically

requests to make the arctic sunrise stop illegal activity near the oil platform in the arctic now according to it's been going on since last year russia says all its warnings were ignored by the dutch and three weeks ago we know what happened we peace activists tried to climb aboard the working world and they were detained together with everyone onboard the arctic sunrise the russian foreign ministry says the day before the incident on september eighteenth green peace activists made their first attempt to climb aboard. for what they were prevented from doing the same day moscow summoned to issue yet another warning with regard to the arctic sunrise but it is russia says that warning was ignored yet again the activists and those who were on board the ship are now facing piracy charges because russia argues technically it was an attempt to seize the part for many russian foreign

policy experts believe that the incident with the russian diplomat in the hague could be related to the tension between the two countries with regards to the greenpeace activists. meanwhile the thirty greenpeace activists charged with piracy remain in custody awaiting trial one russian affairs analyst told r.t. that the netherlands attempt to sue russia in them is aimed at embarrassing moscow and will ultimately fail. international law is very very very big and you can go to the united nations and what i think they're trying to do is to is to embarrass russia. so that when the case these so-called pirates come up in a russian court then they'll have a lenient sentence or perhaps the journalist who was he says he was doing his job that he be released so the dutch appear to be trying to embarrass. russia in new york so that this case will not be treated very seriously but i think on the

face of it russia is going to really lay down the law here because they have warned they warned the greenpeace activists on numerous occasions not to do what they did and i think they're really going to lay down the law here. catch up on the details of the russia greenpeace a stand off following the attempt to board that article oil platform on a website and r.t. dot com. my right to see my. first trip. and i think that you're. on our reporters were very. well the american president an able to attend a chinese leader was front and center at the age of pacific economic cooperation

buying shares in london's heathrow airport and pumping billions of pounds into the country's a nuclear industry and as party boy call reports chinese money is also propping up a london icon. this time last year it looked like the iconic london cap would be consigned to the history but after its maker the financially troubled london taxi company went into administration china. manufactured g.d. which already owns volvo has stepped in and bought the company for eleven million pounds the factory is now back in business this part of the assembly process is called the marriage of the carriage where the shell of the time. meets with the shafi of the taxi here but it's a marriage between the chinese manufacturer and he and the london taxi company that managed to save a british icon from going out of production g.-d's pledged to invest a hundred and fifty million pounds into the coventry based business over the next five years promising to create jobs and develop new engines to future really

previously when we were an independent company with the financial resources to continue to develop the product as we would like to now that we're part of the finances. and that gives us the ability to develop. a which we could have only dreamed of financial analysts have called it a win win situation the london cab comes back from the brink of extinction while a major chinese manufacturer gets to invest in an exciting new project but what does this say about the state of british industry business secretary vince cable called the chinese buyout a clear demonstration of the strength of the british car industry but the london cap is just the latest in a raft of u.k. businesses being sold off to foreign companies cadres chocolate is now american jageler most is indian and the british airports authority spanish to some it represents a hollowing out of corporate britain and i'm happy that it's not going under but it

shows government policy for a long time now as encourage foreign companies to take over our british companies and what that means is that our british companies are not competitive across the globe so we're not putting in the right tracks policies we're not dealing with regulation in this these companies welcome to have new investment it always is in the long this takes away economic productivity from this country. it means that stuff and jobs are more liable to go because there's allegiance between the companies that are owned by foreign entities and their country rather than britain piece has been a cabbie for over forty years in a scene the london taxi company goes through several british owners i hopped in for a ride and asked him how he feels about turning chinese this is a shame that it's the owned by a british company but it's better than going to the wall or dial m. or the companies that are still british they won't be faced with any c. r

a group and rich countries by the u.s. it's all. online we've got a much more about china's expanding investment of broad including a story about beijing's buying it high end video out in france as a border region that said archie. and it's not just up front so that's fretting about a four in four eva swiss have been preparing for an invasion from a breakaway french region they've been holding on the practices which envisioned having to raise arms to god the gold one that in a few minutes. the destruction of syria's chemical arsenal has successfully entered its third day with government and international team working together there solomon process is in line with the late as u.n. resolution that full of global outrage over a gruesome toxic attack in august a middle east correspondent policy is in damascus. tuesday is the third straight day that angle wind and cutting torches have been destroyed in missile warheads as

well as aerial bombs and chemical equipment used for mixing the whole process is being overseen by some thirty three international observers their goal really is to ratify record an opposition of the process while the actual destruction of chemical of syria's chemical weapons is taking place by syrian forces now the international team as of yet it is not giving any interviews to the media we did however manage to catch up with the spokesperson who told us off camera that everything was going ahead as planned the important point to make though is that this whole process is not straightforward and this is because some of these stockpiles are in care in combat zones at the same time there's been no confirmation or indeed any kind of comment from the rebels that they're prepared to allow the international teams to actually reach the sites where some of the stockpiles are because they are currently in their positions so there's no indication whether or not indeed they're going to participate in and now in those stockpiles to be destroyed the u.n. chief banking moon has also called for eight hundred member team to be set up that

would be based partly in damascus and parking in cyprus and the purpose of that would be to ensure that syria's chemical weapons are destroyed within the timeframe that has been established which is the end of july next year but certainly so far the indications are that the process is happening smooth me and according to the timeframe that has been say it. both russia and the u.s. have been hailing the weapons elimination on the sidelines of the asia pacific leaders economic summit foreign minister sergey lavrov is optimistic but cautious saying that this arming is not enough to end the war and peace isn't possible while radicals a fight in syria these people are moving closer to. vent to the free syrian army which is being portrayed as the secular opposition so the trend is. in the favor of jihad just radicals among those who fight on the ground and it is not only . our conviction that there's be conviction of the americans but we cannot and must

not talk to these people. the latest iranian stuff was mending its relations with the western world also came into the russian foreign ministers focus on once again insisted on its right to choose a peaceful atomic program. that if one could use it to produce weapons. european united states. political. no intelligence agency. was able so for. and if you want to see the full of details of that interview with us again you can log on to

our website at r.t.a. dot com it is live for you to watch now they israeli prime minister try to win. but instead of through. that ahead. and following the flame the olympic torch is our final day in moscow with reports. you.

were there. little. subsists leg length . of a. welcome back you're watching our team these really prime minister has on the witching lead

turned to a public relations onslaught to win over the run in public into something of a false it's the first time he's trying to speak in directly to the people of iran in more than two decades and top level politics and it's backfired a bit and it's a french has the details he got a serious dressing down for saying that iranians aren't allowed to wear blue jeans he made the wayward comments during an interview with b.b.c. persian in it he said if iranians were free they would wear blue jeans listen to western music and have free elections now twitter is officially banned in iran but plenty of people use software to get around that and they took to the twitter sphere to point out the accuracy of for instance they doctored up the famous shot of the pm drawing an all manesar red line through a bomb at the un general assembly this time it's a rather attractive pair of feminine blue jeans that of course speaking of coding censorship some skaters took to the internet posting their clothing item of choice

blue jeans wearing them proudly and it's not just the fabric that's remarkable it's the content of the couture that's explosive correct me if i'm wrong but that's an american flag on the t. shirt and here you can see a whole collection of blue jeans men in iranian mosque wearing blue jeans now in his blog on the israeli newspaper ha'aretz website david writes about the gaffe. saying iranians not wearing blue jeans wasn't the prime minister's only memorable moment in the interview he says netanyahu got out just two words in the persian language one that translates roughly to soccer and the other means nonsense which basically sums up quite a bit of this entire episode. dr mohammed has some kind of from a. university says of the gaffer she is a big gap in the israeli prime minister's knowledge of iran. iran is not saudi arabia or iran is not pakistan iran is not north korea people are free to choose their own clothing as far as they observateur the dress code of the islamic dress

code and also the persian value dress so this is something up to iranian youth what we heard from the town your who is a very valid proof that how ignored and i'm misinformed unfortunately or the israelis about iran iranian people iranian society and even their political situation in iran. angry will join firefighters are literally faming with few given the boys in blue and saying forgetting in their waging a protest over budget cuts get the video and story on line. and arguably israel the biggest ever funeral scenes hundreds of thousands are saying farewell to their spiritual leader whereby a vile yeah yes. a bankrupt breakaway french region launches a surprise invasion across the border to raided swiss banks and money says was

stolen a scenario for the mayster recent war games carried out in switzerland which has of the biggest army in europe relative to its population peter all of our reports. the idea of two western european nations going to war with each other may seem on thinkable however exactly the contingency that the swiss military have been preparing for an article in the newspaper it was revealed that the swiss armed forces had conducted war games and which they depicted an invasion by neighbors friends to find out a little bit more about this i'm joined by the author of that article long cologne thanks very much for talking to me why did the swiss military think that this was necessary. well. there's a history to this in two thousand and twelve the swiss army already held exercises on the premise that europe slides into economic chaos and many immigrants flocking

to the country or just this time around they went even further in created another legend suggesting that a financially stricken france breaks apart into warring regions one of the new countries that will appear will be called so ionia a small but very nationalistic state ionia will have thirty percent unemployment huge debt and it will blame switzerland for creating this debt so saionji is preparing an attack on switzerland and retrieve the money it had allegedly supplied from france so what's the reaction been in france to be portrayed as the v it is here. i don't know french media made fun of this in marketing we received lots of corn calls from the french press that he didn't take it seriously but in switzerland people are very serious about whatever the army does so public opinion is split some believe the story told for the drills was quite realistic and supports the idea of an exercise with this premise others think the swiss army put

itself in a discredited position. thank you very much so swiss war games underlining real tensions between they biz and western europe. the second and final day of the moscow leg of the winter olympics torch relay has wrapped up in the russian capital . watching the olympics that total route across the capital is already is. this is the sort of closing ceremony of the political leg of the olympic torch to really just give me the want to run in the history of the olympic games it's sad for muscovites but it's really the time for the rest of the country to be able to see the olympic flame with their own eyes earlier the flame was returned to rights where the olympic cauldron was real it's watching fishley the end of moscow's leg

but ever since it was brought to russia on sunday via this special flight recent stay here in the capital what's special it was a sport initially from the airport by the night wolves biker game very famous one in washington where they're involved lots of charity events these guys are also lots of them are athletes they said it was a great honor and then i was greeted by the president on red square with a list of the olympic cauldron for the first time and since then they was being taken through the whole city through the sights by celebrities including athletes and artists and others for ordinary moscow is to be able to see it but like i said i guess everything good has to end sometime this is the case for moscow it's not for the rest of the country it's only the beginning of this relay olympic torch relay he's going to be epic we're talking about one thousand nine hundred seats and religious cross the whole country fourteen people are going to take part and this

is the place that one. citizen of the country will be at a reasonable distance from the flame to be able to see it with their own eyes it's going to last for one hundred twenty four over one hundred twenty days and it's plans that the flame will be taken on top of the highest mountains like the el bruce and on the bottom of the biggest lakes including lake baikal it's even planned that it's going to be taken on board the international space station and outside into space all part of a massive unique and definitely a historic event for the whole country until the flame is delivered to its final destination in february of course the olympics issue the city of sochi. i know a good education should be a step up to a better life but not in spain students see among some of the worst prepared to enter the workforce of according to a report by the global economic development organization the o.e.c.d. so for us reports on how there is heading to university feel insult is being added

to injury your son employee jesus are often called the lost generation is perhaps not the most apt descriptions given that when you speak to young people here they know exactly where they are and how tough the situation they're in is here in spain youth unemployment now stands at more than fifty five percent and that coming at a time when the spanish government says that things are slowly getting better in fact only greece has it worse in europe we've been speaking to some of the students here to find out how they're going to be facing the challenges that lie ahead. it's the start of a new academic year and for many of these students it will be the final year university with almost million hundred thousand. accounting for a quarter of the three point five million unemployed under twenty five's across the usa according to figures on the prospect of graduating isn't exactly

a cause for celebration. at the moment we we. know. three years. shows up in many spanish he's doing just choosing to go to a worrying sign for a country he will need a young dynamic workforce to help it out of its economic crisis the government have gotten reforms in a bid to feast hiring these students impacted so you. may well

see you know. up next what defines a terrorist and breaking the. law. i recently read had large all over the russian internet screaming in full paranoia china has just bought five percent of ukraine now they're writing that china will lease five percent of ukraine over. korean officials themselves claim that china won't be getting either and if this is a deal about some drip irrigation system the situation didn't explode onto the internet to the fantasies of bloggers the south china morning post reported that one company does have a crop in pig farming plan design utilized nine percent of ukraine's territory also last year the ban on foreigners buying land ukraine coincidently been lifted

although i am the distrustful pro sovereignty type getting a rich foreign country to pay to develop your nation's agriculture might not be too bad of a deal it would definitely take a lot of money to restore ukraine's farming to its former glory they see that ukraine used to be the bread basket of europe agree that status spec could really help the country but selling off or even just leasing nine percent of the nation's territory is absolutely unacceptable doing a large project with the chinese that is mutually beneficial is one thing but selling or leasing off your country is another and by another i mean treason but that's just my opinion. i'm happy martin this is breaking the said well the tokyo electric power company is officially one of the worst companies in the world see there's been an other we

discovered that they became a nuclear plant and this time it's from one of the thousand tanks housing radioactive water you know this is really starting to get old tepco is responsible for what seems like one catastrophe after another since two thousand and eleven earthquake first they lied about the scope of the damage then they had the fact that three hundred towns tons of radioactive water has been leaking into the pacific every day for the last two years and now another week in tech goes poorly built storage tanks is responsible for spilling another three hundred tons of radioactive water into the ocean and if that isn't ridiculous enough just check out today's headline. worker accidently switches off cooling pumps seriously oh i'm glad there's so much room for human error with such a deadly technology you know almost to the point thinking that ted goes deliberately trying to destroy the planet and if you're american seafood or all concerned with radioactive fish and you know up on your plate you.
