what would happen is we would be gathering additional information about the arctic seas so we as the american public, american government can make decisions about how best to move forward. >> senator david vitter blocked a pay raise for you because he said you weren't approving enough oil drilling permits. do you believe this was an attempt at extortion? >> you know, senator vitter and i came to the senate at the same time in 2004. i don't know what his motives are, but i can just say to anybody who's watched that debate that i don't do this job because of the money i get paid. i do this job because it is singularly the best job of the united states of america on this cabinet and i enjoy fixing problems for the american people, and we have made tremendous progress in the last three years, and so that's what i focus on every day. >> the interior department has been promises regulations for months but the rules have yet to materialize. what ease the status of these regulations and why is it taking so long for them to be released? >> natural gas is a very important component of america'

for a russian oil giant russ neff does it with america's exxon mobil's of the treasures of the arctic sea it also gives ross net access to exxon's projects in north america and its know about developing art recovery reserves. next the wiki leaks founder julian assange talks to us ahead of his new shows debut here on choose day tomorrow he explains why he chose r.t. who was guess as said to be. why did you decide to do your own show and become a t.v. host. has two reasons. first of all being under house arrest for sort of long it's nice to have an occasional visit them and they want to learn more about the world and given the conversations we were having a quite interesting one i don't want to throw out of people what's going on that's one reason the second reason is that as someone who's given to what happened to me before and it's been receiving it on a very aggressive new styles i found that i wasn't even much of writing in these interviews and all that pretty quickly were just kind of keeps you sort of said the prince of france for instance so people could take them said out of context

russian all john ross neff there's a teams up with america's exxon mobile to top the treasures of the arctic sea it also gives access to exxon's projects in north america and it's no one developing parts recovered. so the next wiki leaks founder julian talks to us ahead of his new shows deb you here in the next twenty four hours explains why he chose r t and who is guess. why did you decide to do your own shadow. well there's two reasons first of all being on the house arrest for sort of long it's nice to have an occasional visit from friends or to learn more about the world and given the conversations we've been having a great interesting number of people got to go that's one reason the second reason is that as someone who's given a lot of maintenance before and it's been on the receiving end of a very great scene if i didn't start this i found that i wasn't getting much writing. pretty quickly and wouldn't interest keeps you know sort of separate spots so people that i would take them sit it out of context and i wanted to have a different sort of corporate sort of people and why that approach

will be working with the us nafta to develop in the barents sea in the arctic area and as well as an abandoned chevron project in the black sea as well now as mentioned. will be gaining a technology access to technology and as well as a third country project in north africa europe and in the united states as well. let's talk a little. about the numbers about two billion dollars has been committed for the research and exploration side of it but it is expected that it will take around one hundred billion dollars to see this a project through and that's so for the any deal for a child who has any and russia deal now the exxon deal that's a little bit bigger in scope and the early numbers for that are suggesting that it will take between two hundred or three hundred billion even more possibly to bring that deal to fruition and of course these are all early numbers and they have a tendency to expand as well but it's important to talk about how difficult it is to extract one of the reasons why there is so much money and emphasis going into exploration is that the oil in this region is a ver

on the other hand, -- moving forward with the exploration of those arctic seas, it will be done under the most cautious and watched for exploration program in the history of the world. we need to recognize we have already seen close to 30 exploratory wells drilled into the seas. in my view, if we move forward, part of what will happen is we will be gathering additional information about the arctic seas and then we as of the american public and make the decisions on how to best move forward. >> senator david they're blocked a pay raise for you because he said you were not approving enough water drilling permits -- do you believe this is attempts at extortion? [laughter] >> you know, senator vitter and i came into the senate at the same time in 2004. i don't know what his motives are. but i can just say to anybody want watched that debate that i don't do this job because of the money i get paid. i do this job because it is singularly the best job in the united states of america on this cabinet. and i enjoy fixing problems for the american people. and we have made tremendous private -- p

arctic council which. for example states that you need to agree more on the law of the sea the arctic sea for example so so if they get an observer status. then they will never acknowledge the prior rights that are. held i wish we had more time for this we don't have professor of economics at the university of iceland thank you very much indeed for coming on r.t. today thank you. but right now it's. all of our stories are there in case you missed anything at all plenty more for you to explore the same time for example landing a plane over texting on you'll move pile of parents lee and australian pilot philip unlocked said it was far more urgent to find out if his destruction and if you could suffer that's a dodgy thought call. plus a look at town by any other name this austrian villagers tired of its unfortunate title. so it's ok to change it to something a little less obscene and not to mention simply the amount of road signs being stolen by overenthusiastic travelers of those details online about so you don't become. something law ease beneath. thousands of metres of christ's control. the labyrinth that

russian all giant russ neff visit teams up with america's exxon mobile to tap the trenches under the arctic sea . hello this is r t it's eight o'clock now here in moscow my name is kevin our top story is the first human observers touched down in syria the government to allow the men restricted access to monitor the fragile cease fire from ask who says it can't guarantee the monitors safety though unless every steps toward native with the authorities the opposition claims it's still under attack and the government vows to crack down on what he calls terrorists i was on a boy who was in damascus for. call waiting to be reborn for serious orthodox christians the meaning of easter was all the more poignant this year as they contemplated the sacrifices of the last few months. with death and suffering across the country many sought refuge in prayer hoping that peace could be resurrected i guess city and prays for these despite isolated clashes the coffee and brokered cease fire has answered its fate they have made the arrival of the unit servers a lasting peace may now have the best chance in months

expand but also one thing to really point out about this area in the barents in the black sea is up in the arctic region this oil is very difficult to extract and russ nafta is very interested in gaining supremacy in the area and making sure that they have the top edge this is a big part of russia have to push into that area to make sure that they go for these hard to extract resources in fact of the exxon deal they're not expecting any thing to come to fruition for at least eight years in this exploration deal also to kind of show you how important this deal between annie and russ nath was is that putin himself the prime minister and president elect was on hand to make sure that this deal went through. thank you very. david out sean thomas and lovely spring like last guy at the roughnecks headquarters thank you very much indeed shall i k. that is the business for now that's all we've got time for we are going to have a look at the markets we check out those all prices let's do it right we're going to have a low we've got all the oil prices it gaining this out of major brands just slightly drop j

if, on the other hand, the decision is made to move forward with the exploration of those arctic seas it will be done under the most conscious and watched-for exploration program in the history of the world. we need to recognize that we have already seen close to 30 exploratory wells prior times drilled into the chuck g seas. if we move forward part of what would happen is we would be gathering additional information about those arctic seas so that then we as an american public and an american government can make decisions on how best to move forward. >> senator david vitter blocked a pay raise for you because he said you weren't approving enough oil-drilling permits. do you believe this was an attempt at extortion?

well the two companies that we book and together in the oil rich fields of the arctic a black sea these having company will get a minority stake of three percent in the exploration benches in return it will bring tech technical know how to show the some of the upfront investment costs also involve snaffled we able to persist supply in and his projects in america and europe has excited his office have a look at the overprices for now we'll see what they're looking like for this hour up a crude prices are indeed gaining and i think getting in terms of yearly prices as well are giving a boost to the oil and gas industry and the prices are expected to hike the results of oil and gas companies release that corporate results later in america this week but now allies to all concerned about these arrests they say that such storing prices have all the risks of waldemar some may not be in the. interests of. budget surplus a full swing vs budget expenditure and thereby defense positive effects are going to go on the problem is that when you're on the compass you're going to go this united states a

of the arctic sea bed and the resolution of various claims. but those things said, there will be increasingly intense competition for economic activity in that part of the world. >> changing the subject back to the border, can lead to more such as biometrics to allow good people to pass faster and easier? >> yes. in his investments in biometrics and information sharing between our various security agencies are all part of the program we put together with the obama administration. the principle is simple. how do we increase the ability of ordinary businesses, ordinary travelers and tourists, friends and neighbors, to cross the border regularly while being able to identify risks and threats and identify them early? all of those things are part of the answer to that equation. i am of the strong view that we have seen this all over the place -- checking millions and millions of people, making them go through lineups and screenings is not in and of itself and effective way to identify the potentially dangerous. we have to have more sophisticated wa

next month shell oil could begin drilling test well in the czech sea arctic drilling plan initiated under bush administration has been carried for by the obama administration. lawyers for the center for biological diversity are fighting it. >> in terms of the lawsuit this part of the strategy. >> yes. stop building in the arctic is high priority but also concerned definitely about the impact on our coast here in california and the gulf coast with oil drilling. >> berkeley scientist working on that deep spill were there in part because of 500 million dollar front from bp to the university. he colonel gist anderson assures me the money didn't compromise the integrity of the lab or findings. in the newsroom, 7 news. >>> state public utility commission approved almost 20 million dollars in fines in the aftermath of the san bruno pipeline explosion. pg&e was ordered to pay 3 million dollars for not producing pipeline inspection records after the blast. even bigger ucting leak 17 million levied detection survey dash survey in 7 cities in contra costa count county. today pg&e appeal was denied a

this is an a and it involves the companies working together in the oil rich fields of the arctic and the black sea let's give you the lowdown on this one now the two companies are going to watch together as i said now the italian company they're going to get a minority stake of thirty three cents and that's in the exploration adventures in toto number ten and it will bring technical know how some of the up front investment cost and the chalet now also go staff will be able to participate in and these projects in america and europe so that's how the benefits of this have those or prizes for this and see what they're looking like a mix of color spectrum on the screen just what lightweight i one hundred three of us but the brands and the one hundred eighteen dollars due to some oiling gas corporate results coming out of america this week that's one to watch because apparently investors are expecting a large gains from those companies i'm talking about the us see how they're doing they're around in the second outright right now as you can see at the nasdaq why is that so hard well the thing is that pa

release and me now the two companies and sent to work together in the oil fields of the arctic and the black sea and it's not the terms of the agreement will be similar to those with exxon mobil the italian company is expected to get a minority stake that's over thirty percent in the exploration ventures and in return it will bring technical know how and shoulders some of the up front investment costs. right on track with currencies as you can see there the euro is still gaining against the dollar and when it comes to the ruble it's also getting that gets of both major currencies now if we move on and cycle of what's happened in europe markets there are all breeds we can see there that would go both the footsie and the facts on the back with the with the dax in fact i've been over on the percent this hour and investors haven't really been shaken up by the fact that we heard that the british economy has strong for the second consecutive quarter and its g.d.p. was lowered by zero point two percent normally that's something that would really shake up investors but it had no a factor was so ever now

conversation actually, that the chinese are even building ice breakers to go to the arctic to begin claiming the north seas for those resources. so that causes me concern and hopefully we'll perhaps continue to focus on their behavior and expose it. and all the while you know, they are increasing their spending on their military and we're cutting a half a trillion dollars over the next decade and staring down the barrels of a double-barreled shotgun with the possibility of sequestration and that scares me. i guess i'll switch gears. from a cpa standpoint i like to see the cost benefit. we're doing some realigning and moving further back and i had a chance to visit young song, i haven't had a chance to visit the new site. are we getting the best value for our dollar? i mean we kind of kept the peace for them for decades now. and i know typically wherever the u.s. military has been that footprint is one of the most valuable pieces of property left on that continent or in that country. is it -- sir, are we doing a fair exchange? are they paying for their fair share? are we giving up a nice piece of property f

arctic, how we can better coordinate. the question you asked immediately before that, one of the things that would help us the most if by approving the law of the sea. it would help us in terms of the rights of freedom of navigation. it would also help us as a nation establish our claims in the outer continental shift, and the arctic, as you are better a wa ware than i am, but we have different nations competing for the same resources in an arctic that is going to be increasingly ice free in the summer so you can not only have navigation through there and you're already beginning to see that, but also extraction of sea bed resources. so i think first thing we could do is become a signatory to the law of the sea kmrchs. secondly, we are actively doing things like isex, where i went last year. we operate with the canadians and their operation, nanook, but i think that our plan is to become more capable in the arctic over time and bake. >> admiral? >> i back up everything the secretaries have said. i'm completely in line with that. it has to be a bullet, a factor, a credential, bine we saw each morning. likewise, we need to continue to do nanook exerc
