native however there is one thing between russia and nato russia and all the nato countries which is a still growing misunderstanding concerning this nuclear umbrella nuclear shields this this american analysis of nato nato progress program of installing the anti a missile defense. russia wants proof show us why we shouldn't be afraid nature says we'll just take it for granted but do you think that nato the west has to to to show said to give some proof to russia. that russia will not be not be worried in losing russia moscow i think political class players are for first of all i think it's very important to remind all bad was the relationship between russia in nato in the summer of two thousand and eight with the war in georgia and i think that's really the turning point and says since about time we had some positive evolution as was certainly a change of stance in russian leadership probably due to the crisis and the impact of the crisis and also the research approach promoted by president obama and since that time definitely we can observe an improvement between nato and nato and

that russia will not be be worried look at russia moscow i think political class players for first of all i think it's very important to remind all bad was the relationship between russia in a toe in the summer two thousand and eight with the war in georgia and i think that's really the turning point and says since about time we had some positive evolution as was certainly a change of stance in russian leadership probably due to the crisis and the impact of the crisis and also the research approach promoted by president obama and since that time definitely we can observe an improvement between nato and nato and russia having said that it's i share your views about you know. defense problem which is at the same time very complicated in military terms but it is a real strategy problems and i think that it's it should be seen as a part of a much more global strategy and for both russia and nato so a key question is do we consider the main difference between us or do we consider that the main frets outside us this is one way to say i was a little this is this is against an outside threat

i actually think that russia is russia's plans for cooperation with the united states and nuclear power is is actually quite forward for change compared to most other countries surveyed very accurate the director general or also recently. ally in the russia's plans for the development of a that's not where our systems in the united states. with a part in partnership with the united states and other countries. actually is in front of where the united states is right now and hopefully through the operative arrangements with our scientists on the scientists from russia. will be able to. demonstrate that damaged nuclear power systems are far safer and far more efficient the ones that are in use today. quicker than we could if we built them in the united states so i'm very encouraged a lot of experts and innovators are here from silicon valley and of course russia has plenty it's fake and developing already itself a project obviously silicon valley is going to be an example for them but how when it comes to sitting down and talking and. see. yes like i eric smith health spoke of like get sta

russia. residential voice tree to tree police part of russia's peace mediation mission in the protracted leaving conflict most his position has always been clear that only a non violent negotiation is the only way out of this crisis mosco has repeatedly harshly criticize they to fall launching a military operation here in libya and has never supported the un security council resolution which gave green lights to intervention and nick on the girl of the peace envoy was sent here to try to persuade both sides to start talking action that's very hard to achieve a very hard process but we have we have been able to speak to me come and go after . matt officials here in tripoli and he said that he feels rather optimistic about peace process here is quite fragile it's a long way to go but definitely he's optimistic about that he's emphasized that give up his people he's mad the libyan prime minister and foreign minister and he said that duffus people are actually ready for negotiations but he's sad

russian poland relations russia e.u. relations do you think that that poland polish presidency will. play some role in making this russian issue special for the e.u. and for relations with well they were not directly in the sense that they are not responsible for the foreign relations in there actually on a number of issues it might be might have of course a bearing but but not on what is the bilateral relations between russia and the e.u. which is a matter now for the institutions in brussels. on the twenty seventh of june russian and the european union diplomats had their meeting on visa related issues and agreed on some joint action steps on the way to these are free travel could you specify what have these joint action steps well this is something that came out of the not this dust summit but the previous summit where we agreed that the best way to be more efficient in making progress would be to identify were of the problems which are the issues that need to be solved in order to reach one day these bits of regime s

for for russia is in. this current period of time the best policy is flexible change and maybe change it if you appreciate will be not so weak as it is today why they think it's the best option in this creation because you know the. the major export of russia is role much you know and oil gas and so on it means that for export. this policy is negative neutral. for imported goods yes in case of appreciation to your. competition but you have to take into account that a lot of consumer goods produced in russia based on the. euro or are zero materials some raw materials imported from. abroad and from this point of view is in conflict companies which invested in russia in the consumer protection consumers production. we'll be moralists neutral again this policy says. the former deputy finance minister aggression spotlight will be back shortly after a break so stay with google. the . motion would be so much brighter than if you knew about sums from financed impressionists. from his firm stance on t.v. don't come

by surprise the second point i would make is that russia itself. was ambivalent about the soviet past about its own past and that made it much more difficult to craft a policy. in one way or the other political or economic to russia and the way we try we want to go on the fact that because the russians themselves were uncertain about which way they want to go dimitri i mean in and we look at it in retrospect now. after his presidency was it a missed opportunity i mean was it was yeltsin really wanting to be. a partner of the west and if we just wasn't simply in braced i think he wanted to be a partner or of the west and i think it's very unfortunate what happened there was a lot of news to pick unitless you know moments were moving in russia. and americans and the europeans just didn't recognize that moment and sort of only they didn't believe it and when they finally believe that russian law started to set in you know that moment and still will be you know but it will be very interesting to me always tell me look at the one thousand nine hundred s

level fantasy the west would not think would not invent a new russia and. light state or a neutral state each return to the old ways of treating russia with suspicion we just usual you know there was nothing new i asked for one thousand nine hundred and i can tell your story in july in one thousand nine hundred one. government delegation came to russia and they came to what was their head of the government and they said we stay when you we don't believe these democrats we think you are a serious person a few people remember that i am sorry that you were and i think it shows you all the level found at the time again alex go ahead jump in. like a friend is a year but it's very difficult to get this. great sense of this russia want to be treated in the early one nine hundred ninety s. both as a cove victor a victor against communism sort of self imposed to victory and therefore be treated as a partner and also to be given this kind of economic aid which would be expected of a defeated power it will be to. will war so at that one of the same time they wanted to

as a session for the w t o and russia russia partnership with china on a gas pipeline and also a tenbillion dollar state backed private equity fund all those and more coming your way in the business in about twenty minutes. one pm of the russian capital of this is r t a marina joshie two of the world's biggest and fastest growing economies russia and china are meeting in moscow gas is one of the main sources of discussion as moscow becomes a vital supplier of energy fueling the massive growth of its eastern neighbor country as our reports on the other shared interest the two nations will be talking about. we know that both sides say there's still a lot of room for improvement within their bilateral relationship of course russia and china are each other's biggest neighbors and both sides certainly have a lot to gain from a beneficial relationship with their neighbor rochelle force is one of the world's largest is the sources of natural resources that just oil and gas of we do know that there are ongoing talks between gazprom and the chinese natural gas companies for gas supplies and a

which it all screwed be exported to russia or imported in russia come in with a certificate that in e.u. certificate extended by the national laboratories that the e.u. would. notify russia would certify that these products of course were. necessary center conditions. so what happens is that some countries that the commission notified to the russian authorities first bunch of laboratories for a number of countries now i think i think not i'm sure of that and laboratories from other countries have been also communicated and i think that the case here is that the first ones were these ones so in. good logic the first products to get here were the ones of the first laboratories that had been communicated to the russian authorities so this is simply a matter of time and of course of having the necessary certificates and for the products to come to the russian customs were the products and he said the case will be very fine. let's talk about the w.t. one of the favorite subjects to talk when it concerns russia and europe doubly turns one of one of the heads of all the discussion so so let's

a multi-billion dollar or two of the world's biggest emerging powerhouses russia and china closer together. also the two sides both sides in libya to stop the ongoing conflict all the details in just a few moments. no place for colonel gadhafi in libya is a future russian envoys message. officials in tripoli to broker a peace summit. the lawyers for alleged international arms dealer. prepared to challenge the new york court on the legality of his extradition to america. and as the white knights return to st petersburg it's time again for the same petersburg international economic forum. live at the forum and would give you more about some high level deals that have been signed in about twenty minutes time stay with us. worldwide news live from moscow. welcome to the program well energizing that relations and a boosting trade is what the leaders of russia and china have been discussing right here in moscow but they also couldn't avoid sharing thoughts on the conflict in libya let's get more details on the meeting from. good to see you china already ranks as russia's number one trade partner

this is a great time for russia both for the me to. the end x. and mail route but i think also. for companies that are started with real russian technology were russian technology and from yours could spread to the rest of the world right now. most of the big successes are copies of u.s. developments but. i think there's a great future that. energy also is something that is on the table here in st petersburg especially in the wake of a post quake japan something that a lot of people are talking about something that's on the right of minds they say demand for gas could rise by up to fifty percent because of that catastrophe and it's something that has a lot of people talking including the head of the international energy agency who says that russia can play an important role in this regard going to about three point one three pm cubic meters so production will increase about five million. leads. almost fifty percent. will happen. to five o'clock p. five. major producers. to continue to provide the very important school system to try mor

understands that russia has to change.policy part of the the global world and you know i think russia is moving in the right direction you know we've been a russia now for ten years and we see a lot of change but there's still a lot of work to do how would you rate russia's investment climate and what do you think could be done to improve it. it's still difficult there's a growing market here you know international paper and our joint venture with will and we're in the business of adding value to russia's resources and supplying products here in russia and also export of them to china so i think the best of times getting better but there's still a lot of work to do now in terms of that more work that needs to be done are the anti-corruption efforts and the things along those lines what do you think can be done in order to have it not only the real effect of that but also the perception of that insofar as it keeps it may be a barrier to doing business here i think the best way to demonstrate that russia is different is by y

russia business council. is right some political spats between moscow and washington that you are getting closer to the u.s. has agreed to help lay the welcome mat for russia at the w t o. russian travelers and business. dissipating the introduction of the extended three year american visa i'll get you one with no easy times. hello ed hello underneath thank you very much mostly for being with us on the show and first of all i wanted to to hear your comments on something that we hear through the grapevine these days and that michael mcfaul and probably moving to moscow as the new american ambassador and should we expect something from him from this and how problems it will be used. well it's a rumor i think she really does. but maybe we can speculate on the basis of the rumor. michael mcfaul is. someone who is known to be close to president obama he is a scholar on russia is an expert field he's worked very closely with the members of the ministration spent some time also working with people on capitol hill so

next we look at russia's business prospects with peter lavelle in on the money. hello and welcome to on the money with the business of rush it is business as usual about any we're broadcasting from the st petersburg international economic forum and we're talking about branding. to discuss branding i'm joined by robert sasson he's senior managing director at u.s.g. private equity also we have you know coco teachy is chairman of the board of the retail chain technique and robert made he's managing partner at robert make consulting group ok gentlemen we're in st petersburg and i'd like to ask you robert the first question when we think of the term branding the country japan technology china the factory of the world germany precision united states may be too much financial market you think of russia what brand comes to mind. if today's one if one does come to me what i can say about that i live here in russia for a long time and i've watched a lot of changes and improvements happen over the send to fifteen years i had to describe russia in short i would say it contin

to some extent europe russia and the u.s. can be seen as a positive step oh well i have heard a line of country opinions here in moscow that that russia actually does need these trials. it's a political deal rather than purely economical as you call it how much our strategic interests outside of purely economic interest there's france have in this deal. if it's not interesting for military terms for the russian navy that's interesting because that means that the russian navy. official be rich to buy something without any in the u.s. so i think there is an interest. but who will see for france but very important in the industry in terms the doc about guns because it's a way to jump through some walk in seoul but that's one reason this is going to reason is this idea that. the transformation of nato is very important and that russia should not be seen as a rebel but should be seen as a partner a partner but it is seen as a country with. which it's possible to make some strategy convergence on the front issues not on all of thes

russia e.u. summit was overshadowed by this route over the vegetables the scandal when the russians banned all european vegetables and russia is is i think the biggest market for european vegetables so. are you sure do you think that this is fair that this problem had to be solved by president medvedev and the leaders of the european countries should it take such a high level to solve such a problem i know probably probably probably what happened is that this happened just a few days before the summit i said i hope that is the cucumber is all ok. this converse of being possible is something that they have not done because it is not of all the local president or gave i think with them as we keep this. historical moment but not what happened is that this problem arises and the ban also took place just a few days before the summit so logically the issue was not solved by the time of the summit and the summit had to look at it. all the wise probably it would have been different but i think this simpl

and russia is its recent plan by russia on. the bulls and fruits from the pros from the european union the ban was imposed in the wake of the deadly e. coli strain outbreak which to date killed thirty people and hospitalized thousands thousands of others brussels harshly criticize the measure calling needs disproportionate and saying that it was very on time reminding that russia is apology for the w t o finally after seventeen years of being in membership talks with these one hundred fifty three nation clock at the moment russia is the only major economy which is still outside the group and we expect that russia all the formalities will be sorted out by the end of the summer and russia will finally join the organization now as far as the word ban is concerned russia excuses brussels of failing to provide sufficient information in the stores on containment shall be in fact and said that progress could be reached during the summit in brussels is transparent and shows flexibility on the issue like it could partially lifted the ba

a surprise the second point i would make is that russia itself. was ambivalent about the soviet past about its own past and that made it much more difficult to craft a policy. and one way or the other politically or economically with russia and the way we try we want it to go and the fact that because the russians themselves were uncertain about which way they want to go let me tell you i mean in when we look at it in retrospect now. after his presidency was that a missed opportunity i mean was really wanting to be. a partner of the west and it was just wasn't simply embraced i think he wanted to be a part of the west and i think it's very unfortunate what happened there was a lot of nice to put uniqueness you know moment and sort of moving in russia. and america and the europeans just didn't trigger ignite that moment and summer movie they didn't believe it and when they finally believe that the russians started to set in you know the moment and still do you know but i don't really seriously i acknowledge i mean look at the one thousand nine hund

russia and c.i.s. says there are many things that have already been achieved. there's been some progress i don't think it's enough and personally i think the actually the government also believes that it's not that the job is not complete. they have done some good things like you like they've established skolkovo they have to ask for politicians to leave the boards of various companies they have extensive privatization program they've established the fund that would look for edward investments so they've done some things but there's more to do. rogers oil giant lukoil is looking to get exploration licenses in iraq the company's c.e.o. told r.t. that this could dramatically increase local production. if you take into consideration the twelve contracts that the represented in the time and that. have been realized and will amount to twelve million barrels a day in seven years to do right produces four to five million barrels this will triple that amount to more than five hundred million tons i think that growth rates will remain at the same level. using me all pro

russia says it's ready to lift a ban on european events to pull imports if sufficient safety guarantees are provided one of the results of the talks where nato is missile defense system and moscow's accession to the world trade organization were also discussed. and as nato airstrikes once again wrong the libyan capital rico over civilian deaths and anger over foreign intervention continues to grow on the ground. plus a fresh vision of world news on american airwaves the voice of russia radio wants to do you want space station. it's three pm in moscow this is r t coming to you live on news now with our top story a former russian military commander who served time in jail for killing a chechen teenage girl has been shot dead in moscow period the dawn of became a nationalist icon after his conviction which is death already triggering fears of a possible backlash we're going to join our correspondent peter over a little bit later this hour for more details but to me bob it's a political analyst for ria novosti news agency says despite the fact that you were going to have had huge support am

seems the only way how russia can it is very strong it's possible to be more but. really to build on it's not that there was a goal it's a. business as well as weekly that is strong business oriented for. tourists people who come in the shop who has been here. these weeks spent money will be quotable gunn people just impression a little more wells will do you not only consumables maybe it will be in order to build builds maybe it will be. it will be it. now what's be it's you know like you see. what's going on national football you could call this program beyond kalashnikov here they found about this forum that we're out here how valuable is this forum in st petersburg because it's really a man so a lot of people here in the lives a lot of what i read in western media about media is about what interest there is in russia i mean there's this community and there are so many pavilions in this complex here it's hard to keep track of who's here and you can't meet everyone obviously i mean. are forums like this worth while why do you guys. i think he's actually on this p

saluting the state on russia today. it was created to serve public interests to inform and to entertain. these days there's nothing easier than opening a new media outlet but there is nothing harder than revoking its license in case of corruption on. one just from. san antonio and from. the crowd you can enroll in a community where you have one law. large corporation controlling the building newspaper radio stations television stations the cable outlets you told me that that sounds like democracy public opinion versus f.c.c. broadcast blues. welcome back to spotlight i'm old enough and just a reminder that my guest on the show today is nicole a well jennifer who's the foreign minister of bulgaria a list of what in area was determined to contribute ensued another. big. program of nato which is the mission in libya russia's foreign minister lavrov was criticizing nato some pressure in libya in its current form he said he said that it was not corresponding to the initial nato resolution so what close bulgaria think about y

new might to zoom in to russia ok now the trade between the two partners is growing but russia still has a bit of trouble attracting international investment from trying to trade remains comparatively low what why is this and and will today's talks stick do you think will. not glow. the u.s. three for example china is already a good first russian trade partner so it cannot truly grew faster than the russian move in the russian economy is growing. and there are many problems like investment climate in russia some space. problem or a problem of. working problems which to. to go and so dealing with tight if we can a letter to attention to what happened yesterday at the s e o tenth anniversary. of the shanghai cooperation organization huge in tower said that the next ten years will be critical for the shanghai shanghai group of asian nations are critical for their development is there any possibility that there could be some sort of competition between nato but is probably as some would say a military force and partially economic at s c o that tends to lean more towards economics and sec

petersburg, russia.ders from right around the world are discussing the global economic opportunities that line that country and elsewhere. for the host nation, russia itself, oil and gas, of course have been the bread and butter of that country's economy, but now a new generation of entrepreneurs are looking to diversify and as reported, inventorship, it seems, isn't the issue. >> reporter: in her research lab she perfects her own medical innovation. it's a fie russ gel that bonds with human tissue, a kind of artificial skin that she says could treat burns, even mend broken teeth and bones. this whole process was dreamed up and developed in russia by her. >> translator: i met people with a long period for rehabilitation in hospitals. they can span more than a month in bed, sometimes even three or four. so i wanted to create a material which would speed up the healing process and make their rehabilitation process shorter. >> reporter: her skin substitute is still being test bud once approved she hopes kit

treated russia as a normal country. start to talk with companies which is not in the russian but maybe go into do it and regarding this issue have usually more negative. information about the russian and of course there is a some obvious reasons which is could be treated as weaknesses. corruption which is actually there in russia it's very well known and the russian president. is talking about this and fighting with this issue with this problem. now and i think it's. corruption translated into sometimes action course and difficulties for the companies do business in russia you hear you mention the lack of information back people who have do have enough information about russia the investors they they they probably know about the problem of corruption corruption is acknowledged by everyone including the leaders the leadership of the russian federation so what the government is trying to do to fight corruption is a suffice is it working or something else and is needed so the should the russians do do something new or what

next we look into the issues surrounding russia nato just trust in. hello again the world complete spotlight the incidence challenged on our t.v. i'll bring all those today my guest on the program is trauma. french president nicolas sarkozy looked very content added g eight summit and goodwill russia announced it is ready to buy two helicopters carriers from france along implicit faded but contradictory deals that pride president clinton emitted in the bargain will cost russia more than a billion euro but it is likely to improve moscow's with progress as probably with dress suit would be the first step in rejecting xin remaining distrust between russia and myself some of them are proud of their russia and i asked senator if the french institute of international relations is here also the question of. two french helicopter carriers will sail to russia to become part of it's needed a couple of years it's the first time after the second world war moscow is trying for it weapons but what's more it's going need to military technology is this has been stron

today they currently trade between russia and china not at all time high and not seems like. it's only going to get larger they signed an agreement that by twenty fifteen trade between the two nations will be worth one hundred billion dollars and by twenty twenty ten years away it'll be worth two hundred billion dollars so good news for people wanting to export and import between those two nations there's going to be a huge increase in commerce between russia and china now it wasn't just business that was on the table the wider world was also being discussed in both leaders both president said that they expressed again their opinions on the situation in libya reiterating the call all military action taken against colonel gadhafi must remain within the parameters of the u.n. resolutions that. that was set out in that any attacks on civilians from outside forces must be stopped and this mustn't happen and that the u.n. resolution was not to be exceeded by outside forces. of the shanghai cooperation organization there was a joint statement where all the group members there were

a multi-billion dollar handshake for two of the world's biggest emerging powerhouses bringing russia and china closer together. also the leaders meeting in moscow of urged all those involved in the libyan conflict to refrain from escalating violence all the details in just a few moments. no place for colonel gadhafi in libya as future russian envoys messages he meets loyalist officials in tripoli to broker peace saul amid a rebel and nato assault. the lawyers for alleged international arms do you know to prove to challenge a new york court on the legality of his extradition to america. the sun is shining in russia's northern capital i'm outros a live at the st petersburg international economic forum we'll tell you all about the high level goings on here in our business report coming your way in about twenty minutes. global news twenty four seven this is artsy live from moscow. well energizing relations boosting trade is what the leaders of russia and china have been discussing right here in moscow but they also couldn't avoid sharing thoughts on the conflict in libya. has been monito

so i think corruption this is the problem of course for russia but also for the country so. the solution of this problem differently important for any economic stabilization in any country. it seems to me and it's steps which have been taken before the fighting corruption. will really show if the fight will be consequent and the results will come and it seems to me the. present time this is quite good. to move forward in this struggle so the president intentions are good they optimistic and also showing as you as you are saying the corruption is not just in russia it's all over the world particularly in developing nations but the president is also promising better conditions will private enterprise that's after a decade of a state controlling concentrating on securing the main industries how do you think russia would benefit from allowing a greater role for the private sector so i think the world economy shows that the private sector is not in confrontation with the great interest if they should. help each other in development of economic growth and from this point of view i

and russia will resume imports of e.u. perhaps the poles as soon as safety guarantees are provided this is one of the outcomes of high level talks for nato as missile defense plans and moscow's possible w t o membership were also discussed. it's five pm in moscow this is our to coming to you live on the snow way with our top story a disgraced former russian military officer and nationalist movement icon has been shot dead here in moscow's during the dawn of had spent eight years in prison for kidnapping and killing a chechen teenage girl officials on the scene of his murder however don't believe it was an act of revenge but an attempt to ignite ethnic tensions are just peter all over has the latest details. putdown of a hugely controversial figure here in russia the hunt being a highly decorated military officer the commander of a time great german during the second chechen war he was stripped of all of those those owners following his two thousand and three conviction for the abduction and killing of an eighteen year old

vegetables have been top of the menu at a two day russia e.u. summit but not for dinner says a ban on food imports from europe in the recent. break has been discussed with well trade organization then ship. nato's contentious missile defense system is also on the agenda that's a couple joins us now live from the venue where the talks. looks like. it is this friday tell us more. i'll carry the summit it will focus on libya on the arab world uprisings by far the four to stop economic iran european security the middle east peace process the e.u. delegation is led by the heart of the european commission had a month on their own pay and the european of the european council story and the european commission's president was annoyed but also the had of the russian side is host president dmitry medvedev the summit has entered its second day here at the historic site in need of the north groves because and the first working session has already begun on the table are russia's accession into w t o p's of the regime with the european union and finding a comp

coli virus the move of one of the outcomes of the today russia e.u. summit are just because i mean a great show of an outright lie from the city of new grads and company not it looks like the best symbols were literally on the table tell us more. but doubles were literally on the table at the press conference a european leaders some host russian president dmitry medvedev were asked whether they had vegetables for a launch the answer was yes they had e.s.p. enjoyed them and moreover a certain breakthrough was reached on the issue of a russian ban on fruits and vegetables imports from the european union recently russia imposed a full import ago in the wake of the deadly e. coli strain outbreak in order to prevent the infection from coming into the country these measure of was halted disproportionately by european union officials and they said that it was going against the policies of the world trade organization in its turn criticized brussels for failing to provide sufficient information on the source and containment of the infections and today preside

union says that it is not designed against russia but russia wants legal confirmation of that legal guarantees which it has not received so far russia argues that the system will pose a threat that it will definitely neutralize its strategic potential will lead to an unbalance in forces and another apple of discord is russia's recent ban on vegetables from the european union in the wake of the deadly e. coli outbreak which to date killed twenty seven people and hospitalized thousands of others brussels criticized that measure and called it disproportionate russian. accuse russell's of failing to provide sufficient information on the source of this infection but progress could be reached during the summit here and usually not greg's eve the e.u. is more transparent and shows more flexibility on the. r.t.c. got it in a grouch over their reporting of the upcoming russia e.u. summit in need of god. though it's a sedative used to cure everything from epilepsy to insomnia but some u.s. states have started using a controversial drug to put people on death row it will turn all sleep human r

in russia and the former c.e.o. is countries thank you very much for joining me here so just tell me so far what are your impressions of the conference what do you hoping to accomplish here right think it's very impressive set up. i think it's probably the premier form in which the business community can meet each other as well as the political elite and discuss the things that are happening today as well as the way forward very good now since president advent of took office diversifying the economy he said has been one of his primary goals how far do you think progress has come on i think there's been some progress i don't. it's enough and personally i think the actually the government also believes that it's not that the job is not complete. they have done some good things like you like they've established kolkata they have asked for politicians to leave the boards of various companies they have extensive privatisation program they've established the fund that you're talking about that would look for edward invest
