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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

and china will endeavor russia sees d.s.t.o. as a jew strike they'd seek roddy very important in terms of not only countering the battery of nature but countering american influence and you regime as a whole and china still seems the su as a truly in economic cooperation mechanism so you reticence to create a stack on the ground that would undoubtedly amaze the u.s. immediately no it's a very central to our strategy as well and it's not only related to central asia it's really to the indian ocean out the chinese navy wants to have a very strong presents in the media notion and perhaps in the arabian sea it's going to beg the chinese territory in their own run through less privacy with espresso we're considering the fact that maybe send a rebel general in the pentagon if it's your directions that i think that there are strange no ideas. this is r.c.m. coming out the russian businessman being lined up for jail not just. they're willing to floor every international law to get what they want and that means doing all these illegal th

resolution talking of russia which is russia actually. dealing with syria. well recently foreign minister sergei lavrov has spoken with journalists reiterating the russian federation stance that any. restructuring of the government in syria needs to be wholly undertaken by the syrian people and since saying sincerely that russia will continue to disagree with submitting the syrian issue to the un security council now he says this especially in light of the escalation of the libyan issue where he says the nato actions in libya are exceeding the framework designed by the security council so in light of that and many times it's been said by president rid of and other russian officials that the problems in syria need to be left to syria and russia will not be partnering with any foreign governments to intervene there because you thanks very much indeed lindsey for reporting there in brussels thanks for that update and the middle east expert and blogger shero joins me know he's joining us live from london thanks very much indeed for being with us here in our team

we have better relations for from russia is important to be can only put before because it. was many times approved by some of the. new democratic politicians who told me the paparazzi here say that we hate russia who will get immediate international support. i can see this. absolutely and absolutely in respect of. our relations with russia will continue just a little bit if we have good science where we had best the best times we have also dramatically reduce the noise through of relations but we managed to continue in the middle of the room and as for develop it in the better way so i think we have hope. believe teams who can and improve this world and made them for the benefit of future generations how has the country changed since gaining independence in two thousand and eight in the world most of it was a good world more international issues it's true to us it brought more cooperation to the us for the kids it brought more person but it was for the future. the wife the recognition all merinos more. possibly with possibilities to choose an international forum. so let's a

here in russia the r.t.s. over his heart or fourth day from isaac's is still closed on wednesday the indices ended the session slightly higher. now uncertainty has been the main trend in russian forces in recent days neither bears nobbles able to take a leak it means investors prefer to stay in a defensive. i think valuation wise you want to look at branksome telecoms and particularly gas looks cheap but you know really long term it's not going to do very well in my view as they have done over the last sort of ten to fifteen years if you're looking at momentum trades i think that's again a very difficult one i would go defensive if you see you believe in a downturn in the market in all process i would be telecoms utilities consumer staples i would call more aggressive i do finance them into the fold if you more bullish on the market if you and i think this is actually a trader you should turn on and should always have one in russia is that you go for corporate governance. russia has how electricity supplies to

we do not consider russia as threat to nato and nato does not constitute a threat to russia so let's join efforts let us cooperate but russia sees it as they can't go forward on promises why put you down to the russia on paper that a missile defense system would not be directed towards them. either but it's very easy to guarantee that because we do not we don't have any intention to attack russia not whatsoever but to guarantee russia could get would be to engage in a close cooperation then for instance establish a common joint center where we could exchange data that would clearly demonstrate that this system is not aimed at russia. mr rasmussen the facts might demonstrate otherwise thank you very much for taking the time out to be live with us from brussels it's very much appreciated hope to see you again. oh. 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. when just to. stand out on the control of. the crowd you can inv

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. in one way or the other political or economic to move russia and the way we tried we wanted it to go and 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 that a missed opportunity i mean was really wanting to be. a partner of the west and that we just wasn't simply in braced i think he wanted to be able the west and i think it's very unfortunate what happened there was a lot of misstep but you need this you know moment and sort of move in in russia. and america and some of the europeans just didn't recognize that and some were more me they didn't believe it and when they finally believe that russia started to set in you know the mountain still moving you know but i don't need to know all of germany we look at the one thousand nine hundred six presidenti

russia. in one thousand nine hundred one the west was applauding russia and unfortunately the country was collapsing. and then in the end of the nine just when russia tried to say something but west suddenly became very critical so it was not yeltsin who changed it was the editor of all that of the west exchanged us for it him i think there were again cool very distinct process. yeltsin was a democrat in the early ninety's by the end of the ninety s. he was a different person talking about their political system it were it became very difficult to access hear him much more difficult than to accept gorbachev in the end of weakness there were all kinds all weird people around him who had absolutely no legitimacy including on a political base was never elected by a. sole basically people when they made demonstrations in support of us in one thousand nine hundred one what they wanted was kind of their social democratic political girl is this point out of the road regular continue our discussion o

russia because really in all emerging economies it's a big problem why does russia take so much flak for it what's the exception well in the west people look at russia and they always seem to have in mind russia's nineteenth century history a very evocative literary descriptions of corrupt officials gogol's all the federal of the writers and this gives the impression that corruption russia is really something quite unique to impossible to fight effectively of russia this was captured by its history my approach is to look at russia here and to other middle income countries. when you do that you very quickly find that all these countries almost all these countries have serious problems with corruption they have problems with their political systems that quality of democracy that sought to russia to me seems awfully unique in this respect which doesn't make fighting corruption any more any less essential the president also mentioned that it's expected that five the end of this year russell will finally pass this accession to the w t l what will this mean for ordinary votes i mean it wil
