of spillover and adjoining regions and expensive real estate here in the region. as you were alluding to with your question though, one of the trip to find when you start adding folks -- and you know this from all of your eir's -- you start to see ingestion and impact on communities as well. one of the big challenges is to balance those objectives. i will try to not make you look at this slide for any longer than absolutely necessary. it is a bit confounding. essentially, the first two bars show the way the initial vision scenario does allow us to make substantial progress to our greenhouse gas bowl. -- goal. also, it does allow us to reach the full housing goal we have set for ourselves. now we have a lot of work to do, to get back into those numbers and see how we are going to actually make this a reality. i would encourage you to look for some of the other metrics we have used to evaluate the full senate areas. i would also draw your attention to the second bar. you see the initial vision scenario does allow for a more affordable future for low income household

place types in the region. i want to highlight that the federal reserve will be helping to conduct equity analysis, we understand, through the coordination of the mayor's office of housing and we look forward to that analysis. in terms of distribution of jobs, the region will get tighter around court transit services. looking at parking and shuttles, parking management, these are some of the new ideas that might work their way through. moving jobs closer to housing. this is a question of regional approach. you should be moving our jobs closer to housing, which may be should be in the suburbs -- which is in the suburbs, but our concern as this could spawn a leapfrog effect. jobs in the suburbs, people then take another 30 minutes to commute outside of that ring of jobs. we would not want to continue for repeat that process and pattern of small. we believe that any such process to move jobs to suburban housing would benefit from the caring but transportation pricing policies to avoid too much intra-regional commu

some countries in the region and some western nations connivance its tendencies currently being seen in the so-called new middle east it is this the controlled chaos in ariel's are prepared for it's enough to have a look at what's going on in egypt tunisia and other countries the scenario cannot be called anything other than a plot against the region i believe to that end they would stoop to anything. stay with us here on r.t. coming up russian road rage. down this road alone the saw three am to get spaces now that's all. i know why or the world's largest the well producing country of suddenly valuable selves running on empty. but first ten militants have been killed in a special operation by security forces in russia's north caucasus authorities say among the terrorist was the head of an extremist group and others responsible for a deadly attacks on the region or his media coach and other has the latest. in other successful un ttyrec operation has been carried out by russian special forces on friday morning after a thing happened at the border between the region and you know about c

we believe in this region.e no reason that it cannot be among the most progressive, peaceful, successful regions in the world. what we look at other regions in the world that have undergone change, sometimes violent, sometimes difficult, we see no reason why this reason cannot succeed. wherever we can, we will accelerate our work to develop bonds with the people themselves. with business leaders, religious communities, women and minorities. we are rethinking the way we do business on the ground with its citizens. we want the citizens to help -- set priorities. we are soliciting proposals from a wide range of organizations. we want new partners. we want to invest in new ideas. we are exploring new ways to use connection technology to expand dialogue and open lines of communication. as we map out a strategy for supporting transition, we know that the people of the region have not put their lives on the line just to vote once in an election. they expect democracy to sweep out corruption, extend opportunities. unit

situation in the region.yemen is another arab state where a nation right out rising refuses to die down despite a deal with the opposition to step down within a month new killings have led to demands for president saleh immediate resignation interview with our team the later says the leader says the dangers of rushing into change are greater than his opponents of magic. our opponents reject the idea of holding presidential and parliamentary elections because they're aware they won't be able to gain a majority as a matter of fact what we're having is an unconstitutional coup and they are trying to. and are against a constitutional transfer of power in twenty thirteen we're even ready to grease new plans so as to avoid bloodshed. some countries in the region and some western nations connivance its tendencies currently being seen in the so-called new middle east is this the controlled chaos and are using prepared for it's enough to have a look at what's going on in egypt to museums other countries the scenario c

on my pile says of western powers do step in he feels the whole region could be up in flames. this is by far different from the libyan case for example that we've seen in a strategy a military strategy has been because of it's going to be what you can see also get back at this point nobody can talk about any success for these a military strategy contrary to what prevails in libya syria is very sensitive country disclosed. was given and we also know that the syrian regime has printed actions with iran as well as we've just been you know has been is about luck and that is why acting or pressuring syria to restrict radicalize syria's allies and open and you generalized around or situation in. yemen is another arab state we're a nation right uprising refuses to go away new killings have led to demands for president saleh is immediate resignation despite a deal with the opposition to step down within a month it interview with r t the leader says the dangers of rushing to change are greater than his opponents imagine. or opponents reject the idea of holding presidential and parliame

turning to iran in a way they could unite the two against israel washington's closest ally in the region or he's really delusional looks at the potential for the arab uprisings to spread further east. some like it hot but this spring things have heated up perhaps too much in the arab world is ips libya now syria more than african region and the middle east and often brutal civil wars with the western powers playing an important hand some believe this won't start anytime soon so who is next in line for the greater evil in the region the answer may lie on the surface. that president assad is disingenuously blaming outsiders while at the same time seeking a rainy in assistance in repressing syria's citizens this need to be a thinly veiled hint it's where exactly the united states is looking to get involved i think iran has been targeted for some time now and if you watch the propaganda about syria washington is now claiming. iran is helping syria oppress protesters which different about syria. protesters in both cases really know for a fact. the united states government was supporting our p

goals in the region. as waves of public rage sweep through north africa and the middle east world powers jump on that as many analysts say in an attempt to direct the waves of unrest in a way that's most favorable for them in libya forging relationship with the opposition so that if gadhafi goes their people there to do business with syria popular wrath gather steam some experts say western powers might see the advantages of getting involved there to. these three countries iran and syria are the main countries that will not align themselves with the magical to the global power elites or the western powers interested objectives in more power for good in the middle east as for example egypt will do or used to do with hosni mubarak and definitely kuwait saudi arabia syria is iran's closest ally in the region and the cost to support the remark in syria after income was mentions of you ran syria is obviously a strategic ally for ran in the in the region and without syria iran loses their their bridge their lan

hand some believe this won't stop anytime soon so who is next in line for the greater evil in the region the answer may lie on the surface. president assad is disingenuously blaming outsiders while of the same time seeking a rainy and assistance in repressing syria's citizens this week to be a human being with him and it's where exactly the united states is looking to get involved i think iran has been targeted for some time now and if you watch the propaganda about syria washington is now claiming. iran is helping syria oppress protesters what's different about syria about clojure in both cases really know for a fact that the united states government was supporting opposition groups and so it's only those two countries where washington there's an interest in continuing to iran has been a longstanding alliance with syria in this strategically important region right next to iran's arch nemesis israel syria syria isn't the same as libya geopolitically we always realize that syria is iran's springboard in its fight against israel this is why it will eventually make a powerful sunni jesica i

mistakes let's say of their fellow dictators in the region. well i agree with what you've said of course but the other side of this coin is that what's happening in all these countries is one single phenomenon caused by the fall of an idea the idea that a family a dictator a. sort of a dynasty can rule a country using security services and the army and basically. raising any political life in the country. that's redundant and that's what's causing all of the to collapse one after one after the other so so what's different is the circumstances but but the phenomena is more or less the same and in fact the formula in which they ruled was the same because they have shown the west. that they are irreplaceable they are indispensable that they provide stability that beyond is chaos. it's unimaginable what would happen beyond them and that's what makes rex that. makes it difficult. to imagine life after that and that's why for example those that are clinging to what shall i thought are more in washington and london and paris than in syria itself i me

might by china in the region.my view we should have a general talk with chahat there's some compass in the region to deal with anything peacefully, politically and china should be part of that kind of framework. >> rose: and should be connected to the asean nations as well as plus three? >> yeswe have a strong relations, actually, charlie. we have asean plus china relations. we have east asia. so china must be concted to us or we should connect ourselves to china as part of the economic insentive in the region. >> rose: you know the term brick nations. >> yes. >> rose: brazil, russia, india, china. should indonesia be part of the brick countries? >> well,... >> rose: in the concept of people... >> i could say we have great potential. r people, our resources, our progress economic growth with strong economic fundamentals our success in minimizing the impact the globa crisis recently. of course i have agreed that indonesia will join brick but we have to improve our old competitiveness, our old potential, many things

and has been a longstanding alliance with syria in this strategically important region right next to iran's arch nemesis israel syria syria isn't the same as libya geopolitically we've always belies that syria is iran springboard in its fight against israel this is why it will eventually make a powerful sunni jetted impact on iran's positions but this brings us back to the question of what country will follow syria if it benson syria progress according to the libyan scenario we will probably see a similar developments in iran unfortunately that is iran will repeat the syrian scenario iranian ships have dropped anchor in syrian ports enormous books and seek to tel aviv but damascus crippled by crisis iran may lose its footing in the region this is again a continuation of the idea that you use the international machinery to achieve your national objectives under the pretext that you are actually trying to protect human rights should the u.s. and its allies decide to go through with a habit of meddling in aiding revolution. the result may be catastrophic but if there is foreign interven

e g six problems it turns into some regional deficits or fuel in some russian regions. the russian government is to ease the tax burden for petrochemical produces and notice the ensure a base of domestic fuel supply that's off the claims that the current prices don't cover produces costs the head of russian oil minded lukoil had warned the fuel prices could rise by up to seven percent. if you would that we are preparing for a possible fuel supply disruptions this summer of course will provide us now we are already saving fuel to supply our customers at peak time during the whole day period but the current price on the russian market does not reflect the company's spending on petrol and diesel production and their delivery to customers all the tariffs for natural monopolies are engaged that's why we believe that prices may grow but not significantly we have a number of restricted factors a place we are discussing the issue with the government five seven percent could be a deterrent of course if the government believe to be excise tax which it had introduced on the first

the region's only non arab state israel. has more now from tel aviv. these gunmen mean business and they're upping the stakes just that little bit higher at least use the egyptian regime like resigning as the enemy trying to stop us foreigners and girls are but we always got the weapons we needed to fight the zionist enemy. and now they give more than they could give a hopeful what for me gyptian president hosni mubarak swingarm the borders couldn't be easier to get through the big wins in. who world's oil smuggled. who. have much more freedom to do whatever they like. and they're doing it smuggling weapons into gaza the result two attacks in three months on a natural gas pipeline that supplies a quarter of israel's electricity which is why is the us claims it's bringing a new tomorrow to egypt most israelis would rather remember gift a year the eagerness of the united states to topple the four major from president hosni mubarak and bring about regime change that ironically most harmed closest ally in the region israel the u

states problems turned into some regional deficits or fuel in some russian regions and what do you think the export ban do you think it will help to curb the growth of fuel prices in russia or at least what i cover the shortage is. well i wouldn't say that actually. would pray hadiths really export of oil products moreover i would say that. large oil companies prefer to export these pilots and fuels because actually they prefer and it's more profitable to them to sell it through old and domestic retail i mean branded wants still as a result of that if the government appreciate it there will ban the export of products from russia i would say it will affect the british war time and would. actually you know have a long term effect a long time to take will be. complete on regulation of domestic russian few market but this is also a problem because i currently high oil prices together with high or taxes leads to a very high prices for fuel at a retail chains and now probably recall to season start it saw the russian government canada. as well so god could catch twenty two here. it sounds like

in the region but would you not agree though that they have a moral obligation the whole no fly zone the response what's happening in libya is based on a humanitarian issue people are saying this is a people led revolution in libya as well as in syria if those people want to regime change in those countries and it does can from the roots of those people surely they need help and the western nation has a moral obligation to help them you see we're out here walking on a rope we are trying to say that we can decide whether to the united nations or indeed western countries we are going to decide for the people who they should have we have a duty to protect the people but we don't have the right to take sides we have there are a variety of means of dealing with issues there is to resort to the use of force and destroying and killing people from the air is the last measure it indicates the failure of politics what i thinks is sort of ask you to use the force you say there are a variety of means to step in and help the libyan government has actually called for russia to support it but there
