how to use a system do you think that the contacts between military between generals between between politicians in charge of military affairs are a good thing in establishing trust in in stopping at each other as potential enemies definitely its importance you know and but i think it's not something very new like we are or we have this tradition of changes definitely i would say once again it's a parts of the picture it's very important for both militaries to interact on a consistent basis but either same time i think it should be seen in something broader we've political contacts we've called to all contacts and solved definitely is the idea for the west and especially for for for for europe is to say that. russia should be engaged we know that it's a very important partner it's not all the time an easy partner no doubt about that but definitely very decided that russia should be engaged. after the recent visit of the russian defense minister to france it became obvious that for us is becoming the number one russian partner in military cooperation in europe among nato countries at

pakistan has demonstrated its nuclear capability and afghanistan is situated in between and between iran and pakistan so i think state failure with regard to afghanistan and pakistan is what we've really got to be concerned with and then of course that has knock on effects to your security policy in london in paris in washington ok gary time we realize one of the program guys. well i mean the idea that a taliban takeover of power the worst case scenario is going to cause a war between pakistan and india is really far fetched and i would just point out that any reasonable analysis of the rationale for the war in afghanistan which is that we are preventing al qaida from coming back to have a safe haven in afghanistan is failing to come to grips with the reality that al qaeda is already well ensconced in pakistan that is the safe haven that they have carved out over the past ten years it's extremely secure much more secure than anything they ever had in afghanistan there is absolutely no reason to believe half that is interested in going back to afghanistan the real problem is pakistan the

i don't think the 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 boost it do you think it will. not blow. your streets for example but china is already of the first russian trade partner so it cannot truly grew faster than the russian even the russian economy is growing. and there are many problems like investment climate in the russia some space. program problem of. working problems which good to. have to go and so dealing with now if we can no let's turn our attention to what happened yesterday at the 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 critical for their development is there any possibility that there could be some sort of competition between nato that is probably as some would say a military force and partially economic as c.e.o. that tends to lean mor

>> can you -- having a foil in between? >> with a foil? between? >> yeah. when you have two glass plates, you put the foil in between so it wouldn't fall down. >> yes, you're right. so a lot of times, we do tempered glass on both sides, and plastic lamination, or whatever, in between. actually, what we prefer to do is -- i put heat strengthened glass, which we haven't really talked about, and tempered on the other side. heat strengthened glass is glass that is kind of tempered. you know, it's tempered, but not fully tempered. it's got kind of a half measure. stronger than eneeled glass and will take more impact. but where we saw the big piece of glass broken into shards the heat strengthened glass will break into shards maybe this size. the tempered glass, as you see, broke into teeny pieces. so if both sides were tempered and it broke, you know, this whole thing would peel -- you know, would fall over, you know, with this plastic in between, if it didn't have the century guard that -- the new depont stuff which is going to keep it rigid. but if we used hea

while the difference is the view point between mr. soros and professor hayek are extensive and profound i'm sure that he is among those that appreciate hayek's tremendous contribution to establishing a liberty economic order. >> thank you. >> hayek is generally regarded as the apostle of a brand of economics. we are told they will achieve locational resources as long as the government -- and highly in math ma call theory and the markets have hype -- hypothesis and the theory. it's used called the chicago school and it has come to dominate the teachers of economics in the united states. i refer to it as market fundamentalism. i have developed an alternative which is opposed to the efficient market time emphasis and national expectations. it's built on the two ten pillars of -- and firmly believe that those principals aren't in accordance with hayek's ideas. they can't both be right. if i'm right, market fundamentalism is wrong and to be right, i must be able to show some inconsistency with hayek's ideas. that's what i propose to do. le

now let's let's discuss the strengthening relations between the two regional heavyweights with david dog will trade policy consultant from hong kong. and i thank you for joining us today so who. have become each other's major trading partners is russia drifting more towards asia than europe and the u.s. rearing from the west to the east. i think it's a bit of a stretch to say to ask a question is extreme is that russia's clearly strongest historical economically with both. the u.s. and with europe and asia the involvement is always very minor from the from the many many years but it's a will time question really because for the last few years russia has become a member of the apec is in surprisingly corp group and. they. as a result have been concentrating a great deal more on the asia pacific region as of november. this year becomes the chair of apec and has to drive the agenda for apec over the course of two thousand and twelve and how do you. interrupting the how do you see russia driving the goals as chairing as you said as of november i believe november the tenth what kind of ag

still a lot of room for improvement and not improvement is precisely what was dominating the talks between chinese leader who jintao and his russian counterpart meeting with me to fear in moscow both sides focused mostly on energy related deals we know that the gas problem is currently holding talks with china to build a pipeline originating in western siberia and going all the way to china that is specifically going to exist to cater exclusively to china's growing energy needs we also know that gas from is expected to sign a contract by the end of this year just supply even more gas to china to cater to its growing population and therefore energy needs of course but we also know that it's not just gas that's on the agenda according to russia's biggest oil giant but also yeah there's also the possibility that ross gift will be buying a share and now one of china's. boil refineries which is of course yet another very important business deal for the two sides of course bringing them even closer together so it does seem as though energy is fueling the relations between the two sides at the mo

we're seeing a very friendly meeting between the chinese leader. but the chinese leader he met russia's president this afternoon they had a lot of talks behind closed doors i want details you know. well they signed some major trade agreements earlier on. 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 w

deal between two nations ok so you say you see this gas deal becoming a success between both nations and as you were saying certainly there are some regional implications there puts as we were talking about a few moments. about a wednesday's meeting of the shanghai cooperation organization in kazakhstan we did see a close collaboration and big proposals put on the table between group members do you think it's possible that the s c o could become the economic mover and shaker of the world. i hope so and i believe saw now i believe the wall these are at the crossroads historic crossroads or some may say the wall of these at the brink of either being subdued or all the calming the u.s. nato military intervention in libya now moving into possibly syria or even to iran if russia or china or all of these as see all the alliance we saw there are not enough to stop the u.s. led nato military aggression in north african region so i hope saw that as see all russia china china russia leaving leading this new global moving on to balance the power in the wall and saw that they can build a new wor

today they currently trade between russia and china and it all time high you know it 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 less than ten years away it will be worth two hundred billion dollars so good news for people wanting to export import between those two nations there's going to be a huge increase in 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 presidents said. 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 and 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 by outside forces indeed as we saw yesterday. at the shanghai cooperation organization there was a joint statement where

of the differences in viewpoints of this between mr. soros and professor hayek are extensive and profound, i am sure he is among those who appreciate hayek's tremendous contribution to establishing liberal economic order. >> thank you. kayak is generally regarded as the possible a grant economics, which hold that the markets ensure the optimal resources as long as the government doesn't interfere. it's a highly formalized and not magical theory, whose two main pillars of the efficient market hypothesis and the national expectations. it is usually called the chicago school and is come to dominate the teaching of economics in the united states. i prefer to it as market fundamentalism. i have developed an alternative perception framework, which is opposed to the efficient market hypothesis and national expectations is still on the twin pillars of compatibility. my firm belief whose principles are in accordance with hayek's ideas. they can't both the right. if i am right, market fundamentalism is wrong. and to be right, and must be able to

russia and china because there clearly are some differences over there between the countries over the gas prices at the moment aren't there and there are and i think this is you know this is perhaps more of a concern the people are letting on at the moment because we had a very similar agreement to one of those being signed now it was signed a year ago in a similar agreement about that was signed a year previously and every time one. sticking point really has been against price and every year we've heard that you know the deal has moved closer there's political unity on the deal and the one sticking point is the price and that will be sorted out over the next twelve months or by the end of the current year and here we are another year on and we're hearing the same thing again. the chinese are still saying that they don't want to pay more than two hundred fifty dollars per thousand cubic meters as your report said gazprom at the moment is looking for just over three hundred dollars that will rise as oil prices rise gas prunes position has been that it wants gas sales to china to be as
