eight am in the russian capital you're watching r t two days after an oil rig capsized off russia's far east coast the search for survivors has turned desperate dozens are still missing in the freezing waters while the handful of survivors found they're about to arrive back on land jake agrees reports from the coastal region nearest to where the tragedy occurred. it's looking increasingly unlikely that any war survivors will be found search and rescue teams have made contact with lifeboats and life rafts through out the course of the day but no people so far no survivors crucially have been found as a very similar story to that of sunday and largely this is owing to the fact that this all wreak sank so quickly in bad weather conditions that swept away many of these life works before it seems people could board them and we're looking at a very grave picture present if there are any survivors though being in the water for well over twenty four hours now typically given time conditions that means planes can't fly and can't be used to try and search out any signs of life indeed throughout t

so far so good.e america's oil imports dropped, for oil expenditures climbed by almost 50% from $247 billion in 2005 to $367 billion this year. the share of oil imports in the overall trade deficit occur from 32% in 205251% this year. worst of all, the price of a gallon of gasoline increased by 65%. despite the lower demand, u.s. drivers spent this year gasoline more than any other year before. so yes, we have become more self-sufficient and more efficient, but at the same time we have become poor and deeper in debt without becoming more so-called energy independent of less prosperous. what is wrong with this picture? clearly something is wrong with her method. being self-sufficient in oil does not shield him economy from oil shocks. the price of oil spikes the specs for everyone. by 9% comes from the persian gulf get the economy is always very vulnerable when things happen there. the finest live remains the only source of energy to participate in a transportation fuel market, those who control the w

some of them we are pretty far reaching like changing the constitution and getting rid of the political monopoly of one party but of course are to expect that those real reforms can be implemented it is situation when the the crisis is sort of teetering on the brink of civil war even under normal circumstances in any country the forms of such magnitude on all these are implemented but. the point i'm trying to make is that the sooner the crisis is the military clashes. in a better position the international community will be to demand the syrian authorities move along the reform track as quickly as possible towards forming the constitution doors conducting democratic open elections but all that in a situation when there is an armed conflict being encouraged from various quarters one would see weapons being moved. illegally into syria all that of course becomes a set radical conversation like to broaden this out next and focus in about what might be ahead in two thousand and twelve more generally in the region islamist parties have made inroads in the countries whose governments were over

coming back varying civilian clothes and in fact i don't see any lessening of american influence as far as iraq is concerned. and you sort of just spoke about these sectarian issues within iraq one and if the united states technically leaves the country how do you think the iraqi government will be able to stop these sectarian divisions into becoming a full fledged civil war it's going to be extremely difficult because if you see the communities of iraq as they existed most of the military in the u.s. invasion iraq was sunni dominated most of the officers were sunni. the shirts were basically foot soldiers they had more basic military training as such and therefore because it was a similar government they were able to keep them in check it was basically by force of arms that people were kept what we call in check and of course the strong arm methods of. the who has been there whether it was or even earlier most of them were using very tough methods to keep. the population in check now whether the new government that is the shiite led government will be able to equally dick strong on mes
