cross-country vehicle that would get me anywhere i have a once it was i was always dreaming about it but his real passion for airplanes started back in ninety seven when russia introduced a new law that allows anyone to have a private plane for personal use so we didn't use the list but i had to overcome a number of challenges because it is a self made aircraft i had to obtain a special certification for the plane aviation experts had to acknowledge it is safe to operate so now i am a legal user of the flying space but this chap cheek families and bishan reaches even further. one day we took a globe and decided we wanted to go to the equator if you draw a straight line from the city of supes to the equator you get to the most you know this is the place we now dream of visiting together with my son there's only one thing standing in their way the himalayas sergei sas he needs to the engine to increase the flying out and as we've come to learn for him not even the sky's the

limit might in a question are. brings a whole new meaning to the term get off and go well coming up here or to international juice news casts of the surrounding i over the world's top stories but first venture capital investigates why europe's reliance on russian gas isn't going to change in the forseeable future. i'm i'm. i'm . well just.

this month showed bush's transports gets a facelift and you got something borked makes him most of the sun in this on the signs flourishes in some states and we check out some on the car let's say the most signal g.m. gauge here on r.g.p. we've done the future. if you want. to get the sense that it needs is some good news for both schools mostly it seems to be. mostly just almost all meaningful and.

we think about why we think there are no. moral sand beaches. coconut palms gently swaying in the ocean breeze. in fact. white has a deep dark little secret a secret the u.s. government would like you to know about. through all a. little ball i did really succeeded ok good all wilderness. is. welcome to venture capital with me we are off to

a little summer break so the temperatures will now gradually begin to decline at least in this part of the wall that away which means of going to cause even more for you show your means to keep warm for wind also coming up on business cold but it takes a hit britain's wages are in decline if i went on to most of those international costs. to go to college he invested in the last time he's been in that magic will so we'll see how that works out old still to come but first we're going to get stuck in because the credit rating agency fitch has put a big spot in europe to reduce reliance on russian gas fête says that europe will remain heavily reliant on russian gas for at least another decade and that with the lack of alternative sources it means that the options well limited at least according to fit in a way and will remain so for at least the next ten years now we're talking to the

editor of business in new you're always good to get you to listen what did you make of the fitch report the findings europe's two dependent on russia is a. indeed i mean it's a question of politics versus economics and right as it comes out of the crisis it's been in five years we'll go back to growth and growth means you consume more energy and energy has to come from somewhere and the infrastructure these two huge pipelines that run into from russia to to europe is the infrastructure to deliver this energy. however the politics of it is that given the truly terrible relationships between europe and russia as a result of the ukraine for and indeed you know there was an increasing income for ability of. russia over the past years but europe is looking for political reasons to diversify its energy supplies and get energy from somewhere else but there's

nothing there to replace there's no other alternative to russian gas and i want to ask you we have had siphoning off gas before by you cry do you think that that could be another scenario going into this winter. at the moment the ukraine story. full that's about fifteen thousand billion cubic meters of gas but that's not enough to get them through the wind winter they need another five to ten billion cubic meters and the problem ukraine faces has no money at all to pay for it and what they've done in the past is say simply siphoned off some of the gas that's on its way to go to places like germany western europe to customs other customers and they simply siphoned off what they need for themselves and then you know this is effect sort of stealing you have to pay for the gas or at least it goes into their bill what they owe russian people have been saying we want to wind down our dependence on russian gas because it's an unreliable supplier of energy it's not

a reliable supplier of energy and so much is said explicitly in the p.t. stick to its contract and the instability of the unreliable. reliability that's come into the equation is that. so bankruptcy crane middle what happens when that negotiating or deciding on sanctions because they do have this dependency which is evident for everyone to see now what does that exactly mean all they can to be held hostage what is i mean held hostage i mean that implies the threat that russia will turn off the gas to europe. the colonel said he said that he will not do that and never do that but the irony of the situation is the only person as i said threatens to turn off russian gas supplies to europe is ukrainian some gas in your city other day we might turn up prices gas supply to the rest of europe as a way of like striking back to russia and it would help russia because you know the gas remains the significance of that it. is very concerned about its reputation

for reliability and would not do that and so therefore left in the city situation we're talking about sanctions to using shouldn't use it as a weapon and the russians are saying well we're not. agencies were going to make using it and threatening they're the ones who are threatening to ban areas thanks so much we appreciate your time as usual. germany your power house has a set of appalling days releases this week with business confidence down for a fourth month the lowest in almost a year this was on top of the no point two percent contraction in growth for the second straight quarter now in contrast to u.k. it showed its strongest coarsely growth in six years which sounds brilliant bob it still wasn't quite a whole percent still though

a growth of no point eight percent it was this is likely to make this all difference to the average brit wages in the u.k. have trolled below spell humans partly due to that we could pounds now this is good news for international firms who set up in a ball five years of fairy we pay growth in the u.k. has pushed our living standards to the lowest in a decade which is bad for overall confidence productivity and talking of currencies the escalating tensions in ukraine this week the russian ruble to its lowest level against the dollar since march moscow's stock markets were also down on fears of sanctions now we're going to stay a russian company is economics and it's talk about the corporate news this week option who produce a product that posted a twenty percent rise in net profits in its hardest average daily oil production in

twenty years for the second quarter but the company failed because a majority owner is off from selling due to an ongoing investigation process into its parent company is to just lock his children good dog. while i was in the flagship cell in the center most days in the past six months the company has already happened. tends to have that number before the. free moment don't have been temporarily placed in the process this is on top of the already placed the re rest this is due to some of terry reasons by bosses how was dog like over a plate full hundred forty restaurants in russia and considers the country one of its top seven model kids outside the us has now this statement about. to take on because it's been a long time since i spacey out there i want to know how you've been getting on

because it's what happens here i know we're now it's my secular world view the wheel is alive and it has the presence of the ghost of a financial expert because somehow out of the vase a big kind of sluggish you know car company that does have some iconic but not that really popular trendy cars has hit big they have signed a partnership with ross over here and the government has announced their second russian cash for clunkers program the first one got about five hundred thousand cars sold so they're expecting similar results for this one so often voz has hit big and what up to twenty and i'm up to excuse me twenty two thousand dollars in total for the original ten thousand dollars worth more than double we've doubled our money katie. because i remember when it lands on after i've asked you kind of jesting around like who know this is going to go you know i thought that was biggest one yet yeah exactly i thought that there was doom because you know despite

the fact that here we have a picture of. those are not certain selling well especially outside of russia but you know they have figured to be others katie this cash for clunkers program me and the wife are kind of in the market for a new car and the gaza road partner which is a russian s.u.v. for seventy thousand dollars it's looking pretty. good and we do have a car that qualifies for the cash for clunkers program. like a and i have to say next door to that that's a new one magnates is what i'm looking forward to seeing what happened with mike needs as well because of the feedback be adjusting all right and there let's give him the truth now yeah let's see we're going to invest in this we get most of it might be an interesting one but it would be rather dry here getting our yearly affair test a company i'm a huge fan of you know that that is basically let's call it russian google we have the email maps of various different programs for your telephone and a home computer and an awesome free dictionary for those students of the russian

language so let's see your next week how yandex does i need to get on that improve my russian is definitely through so i can fantastics if gauge around one hundred twenty percent that is no sign at all it is that we will speak a while katy i guess i'll see you after the program will go and get some drinks to celebrate him cabaye thank you very much indeed and best of luck with the yeah decks on just this week i did indeed go along to moscow's international or some of those solemn and fortunately despite the current climate there was plenty of optimism. but the last week i think gorgeous women you would be forgiven for thinking that the constant threat of global sanctions against not so was it beneath the feet all the foul but the car industry is taking a little bit of a slump at the moment it's a bit of a rocky ride bus the bus market is still one that everyone here wants to tap into here and that's the case in about five years' time is that to overtake the german

one that has the biggest in the e.u. at the moment it sits at around they don't take the bull by getting for example the company has a huge presence here loves to sell three hundred thousand cars he never wraps up now and if we do take sanctions in mind this means. the gemini industry profit by about twenty five how it impacts about fifty thousand jim and joe bob i spoke to the company and they didn't seem to think i'm a from a bob optimistic about basis. to remain absolutely dedicated to our strategy of growth in russia we believe that differently and the growth is still going to continue over the next few months in years to come and then when you look at it to over two million vehicles are being sold in russia right now which is still one of the top bootable the markets in the world now there is still about sites being imposed upon the quality just very specific place now this one affects foreign policy companies that produce that big pay we've got some eighty percent of them

some talk about spirits up for this town but it would have that the impulse thing of components not something that the modified just one of the sickly enthused about right now the o.b. saw i've heard that there will be some policy or they all to industrial from russia garments they want to zoom on they already have stars on. for a bit to eat or something european brands from europe to russia and. there will be something empty here in the market i think the seeds have to space and we can launch our new bobs now despite the crushing qantas three taking a bit of a battering this year down some seven percent twenty three percent for july this what that sick unless that stuff that is still growing and that's the luxury while the russians they love it. shouldn't have it it looks written.
