8:45 am
regional parliament do still see in the c u p called for a session to take place on monday to discuss the issue of independence further but what's going to be quite crucial to unravel today first of all is going to be a speech given by the catalan leader of which the montu is expected to speak with her on tuesday he's supposed to kind of. explain really what is going to be unraveling in terms of the process following the speech given by the spanish who unlike some have been expecting here would call for a more unified message in a potentially calling for the cats runs and madrid to kind of get together and talk but indeed he did sort of reprimand to the catalan leadership saying they've been acting outside the war yesterday we saw a major day of general striking where people have been coming out. on to the streets blocking traffic businesses shutting down football club barcelona taking place in the straights and as a series of these protests people have been coming out and that's what they've been
8:46 am

8:49 am
international football over his staunch backing. catalan independence was like a football club is a focal point of catalan nationalism supporters can be heard chanting independent slogans during matches after seventeen minutes and fourteen seconds seventeen fourteen being the year catalonia became a part of spain while the club also took part in the recent strike against the government and after last sunday's game was played behind closed doors due to fears of crowd safety piquet got emotional talking about independence during a t.v. interview. so you look at the. well you must. have been over the. years i mean to almost little too much of the news so much while it's. nor you're only going to. know your name or not. all.
8:50 am
that often but i'm. sure you. are going to. follow and. we can now cross live to see artie's any of his at the russian energy forum here in moscow. with the high they really have is not in here is now joined by i will accept the premise that. kate hi again sorry for interrupting you while i told you that will get a chance to have a conversation with the secretary general of. the russian energy twenty seventh meeting so let's just for a while leave all the political issues aside the ones that have been discussed here
8:51 am
by vladimir putin and other members of the plenary session and talked to mr mohamed barkin sir thank you very much for joining us today my first question is first of all some would argue that at this point moscow has become one of the main driving forces when it comes to even the old big decisions in the opaque not opaque decisions deal do you believe that's true and how did we get to that point. thank you very much for having me there russian for the region and. very leadership of president vladimir putin. with his. legs and. lead a leading role. in the negotiations. to the decisions of the. rich which we jointly implemented in.
8:52 am
this mornin of the presidential. president putin indorsed the implementation of this landmark decision the declaration of cooperation in order to this whole stability to the oil markets on a sustainable basis we in all pick we very much appreciate the leadership role of the russian federation in this regard and in drawing up the framework for father cooperation in institutionalizing this call up operation between. we walk in with the russian for the ration. on a framework. that would be sustained. that would take us beyond the rebalancing of the market and look at other possibilities the options that would follow the
8:53 am
strength in. this call up or asian. from president putin that he is getting ready to receive on all goes to visit and the the king of saudi arabia. this is very positive and he told father strength in the. petition that your work will go just to remind our viewers i would like to say that here we're talking about last year's december steel cotton wool production and of course the extension that followed a few months ago. but going back to the times before the deal was struck before december of last year some experts were very skeptical of opec and some even said that the days of the cartel were gone is the deal of september twenty sixth and the subsea what extension that i mentioned enough to prove that they were absolutely wrong one of us who have serious solve. a number of pundits.
8:54 am
off you know put a period. but here we go again the board produces within opec on our side as well as consuming countries for the. a claim in the declaration of cooperation that was reached last year on december tenth. for the sake of. stability and sustainable investments in this industry in order to ensure the security of current. future supplies opec has become accustomed to. being. jewed in different cycles and you would all agree with me that the current cycle that we are struggling to emerge from has been the most severe of the last six cycles so it was quite understandable. the skeptics did not give us
8:55 am
a chance that we would even agree. let alone i agree with them on all picked by the russian for the region but we have proved them wrong because the leadership both within all pick. with president vladimir putin at one point if you would have called intervene. to ensure that not only within opec but between. rich view was honest and this we did and boys. them strongly in support of the. implementation of the declaration of petition and we have seen that the markets have been responding positively we have since talks. must simply across all regions we have seen demand growth is very robust.
8:56 am
levels of all that but splits in countries have been extremely good story to us threw up she was. speaking of the. skeptics are still out there and there have been reports that there are opaque countries that are failing to comply with the output terms and we know that this is in some way driving the oil prices do you think that the deal and the oil market as a whole is in any way in jeopardy because of this. tragedy for the first time in the history of opec we see in this a record number of conformity. in our history we have hard times. but we have never seen this level. and secondly that this is the time joining us in such a supply adjustment decision and also subject countries to the
8:57 am
framework of compliance and the minister. which has just met for the fifth time. in in vienna and i recall. what you heard from is some of. the former to have been excellent above one hundred percent of all the countries. in much more than one hundred percent and that should also to the level of commitment member countries to i. she come on objectives my next question is rush and saudi arabia this cooperation the fact that they are extensively working together now this is the issue that was brought up by a lot of yourself during the plenary session. this week these expensive toys in the energy sector how promising are they for the two countries for opec and the entire
8:58 am
world. trade for the up to. the with the leadership intervention of the kingdom of saudi arabia and the russian for their vision. it would be in order. to achieve his product diplomacy and cooperation. in the implementation process from gen what it would be. without the leadership role of these two countries have been plain we would not achieve the high level of conformity or one hundred percent therefore we will come. the father level of cooperation of the highest levels of government. which is in exemplified by the much awaited visit. to russia. president putin himself announced this morning this is not only in the
8:59 am
interest of the two countries it is also in the interest of all opec member countries this. issue the issue that was also brought on by the speakers is of course tensions in the middle east any changes in that region historically have been a trigger for instability in the wall and energy market have we moved any further away from that trend from that constantly and one of the latest term. once as like the kurdish referendum for example have done to it the founding fathers of opec. countries together with the rest of the members of opec. to new to remain. all in the absolute necessity to insulate often from the geopolitics of the region. because the put it to size an oil
9:00 am
itself. which is in the best interest of not only produce what. it can only be. attained with the installation of from the geopolitics so i can tell you that. for us is business as usual. countries including iraq to fall into. one. to implement the decisions of the conference and well walking together with all of them all the participants and countries on the way forward mr burke cando thank you very much for this discussion and so i've been talking to mohamed for kendo secretary-general of opec a box of course the health of the oil production con that was struck in december last year and.
