and nato however there is one thing between russia and nato russia and all the nato countries which is still growing misunderstanding concerning this nuclear umbrella nuclear shields is this american analysis of nato nato progress program of installing the anti-missile defense. russia wants proof show us why we shouldn't be afraid nature says we'll just take it for granted book do you think that nato the west has to to to show so to give some proof to russia. russia will not be not be worried anymore losing russia moscow i think political class players 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 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 russia havin

russia will not be be worried any more losing russia moscow i think political class players are for first of all i think it's very important to remind all bug was the relationship between russia in a toe in the summer 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 differently we can observe an improvement between nato and nato and russia having said that it's i share your views about you know. defense problem which is at the same time very complicated in military terms but it is a real strategy problems and i think that it's it should be seen as a part of a much more global strategy and for both russia and nato so a key question is do we consider the main difference between us or do we consider that the main threats outside this is one way to say i was a little this is this is against an outside thre

i actually think that russia is russia's plans for cooperation with the united states and nuclear power is is actually quite forward for change compared to most other countries surveyed very accurate the director general or also recently. ally in the russia's plans for the development of a that's not where our systems in the united states. with a part in partnership with the united states and other countries. actually is in front of where the united states is right now and hopefully through the operative arrangements with our scientists on the scientists from russia. will be able to. demonstrate that damaged nuclear power systems are far safer and far more efficient the ones that are in use today. quicker than we could if we built them in the united states so i'm very encouraged a lot of experts and innovators are here from silicon valley and of course russia has plenty it's fake and developing already itself a project obviously silicon valley is going to be an example for them but how when it comes to sitting down and talking and. see. yes like i eric smith health spoke of like get sta

russia. residential voice tree to tree police part of russia's peace mediation mission in the protracted leaving conflict most his position has always been clear that only a non violent negotiation is the only way out of this crisis mosco has repeatedly harshly criticize they to fall launching a military operation here in libya and has never supported the un security council resolution which gave green lights to intervention and nick on the girl of the peace envoy was sent here to try to persuade both sides to start talking action that's very hard to achieve a very hard process but we have we have been able to speak to me come and go after . matt officials here in tripoli and he said that he feels rather optimistic about peace process here is quite fragile it's a long way to go but definitely he's optimistic about that he's emphasized that give up his people he's mad the libyan prime minister and foreign minister and he said that duffus people are actually ready for negotiations but he's sad

level fantasy the west would not think would not invent a new russia and. light state or a neutral state each return to the old ways of treating russia with suspicion we just usual you know there was nothing new i asked for one thousand nine hundred and i can tell your story in july in one thousand nine hundred one. government delegation came to russia and they came to what was their head of the government and they said we stay when you we don't believe these democrats we think you are a serious person a few people remember that i am sorry that you were and i think it shows you all the level found at the time again alex go ahead jump in. like a friend is a year but it's very difficult to get this. great sense of this russia want to be treated in the early one nine hundred ninety s. both as a cove victor a victor against communism sort of self imposed to victory and therefore be treated as a partner and also to be given this kind of economic aid which would be expected of a defeated power it will be to. will war so at that one of the same time they wanted to

as a session for the w t o and russia russia partnership with china on a gas pipeline and also a ten billion dollar state backed private equity fund all those and more coming your way in the business in about twenty minutes. one pm of the russian capital of this is r t a marina joshie two of the world's biggest and fastest growing economies russia and china are meeting in moscow gas is one of the main sources of discussion as moscow becomes a vital supplier of energy fueling the massive growth of its eastern neighbor country as our reports on the other shared interest the two nations will be talking about. we know that both sides say there's still a lot of room for improvement within their bilateral relationship of course russia and china are each other's biggest neighbors and both sides certainly have a lot to gain from a beneficial relationship with their neighbor rochelle force is one of the world's largest is the sources of natural resources that just oil and gas of we do know that there are ongoing talks between gazprom and the chinese natural gas companies for gas supplies and

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 move russia and the way we've tried we want it to go and in fact 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 it was just wasn't simply in braced i think he wanted could be a part of the west and i think it's very unfortunate what happened there was a lot of new stuff but uniqueness you know moment and sort of moving in russia. and americans and the europeans just didn't recognize that moment of a movie they didn't believe it and when they finally believed it the russians started to set in you know that moment and still will be you know but it will be seriously i mean we look at the one thousand nine hundred six presidential election

treated russia as a normal country. start to talk with companies which is not in the russian but maybe go into do it and regarding this issue have usually more negative. information about the russian and of course there is a some obvious reasons which is could be treated as weaknesses. corruption which is actually there in russia it's very well known and the russian president. is talking about this and fighting with this issue with this problem. now and i think it's. corruption translated into sometimes action course and difficulties for the companies do business in russia you hear you mention the lack of information back people who have do have enough information about russia the investors they they they probably know about the problem of corruption corruption is acknowledged by everyone including the leaders the leadership of the russian federation so what the government is trying to do to fight corruption is a suffice is it working or something else and is needed so the should the russians do do something new or what

in russia but do you think there is any gap that needs to be filled in terms of russia's i t sector well again it goes back to manage but i think there's tremendous technical talent here and what we've seen over the during the ninety's were people who are had technical talent sort of grew up over time became good managers because they went into other industries and now you see that those people start coming back into i.t. but i think there's still a gap in terms of product development talent marketing and sales skills and that's where some of the business schools here locally as well as internationally can help and in terms of criteria what do you look for in investing in russia. it's just all about people same in silicon valley we look at you know quality people and they're certainly very strong. people here people skills and we continue here to see fantastic opportunities where we actually saw our way you know several years ago it was sort of a trickle in terms of the deal flow and now we're seeing you know two to three you know companies per day coming to us looking for funding very g

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 was set out in 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 outside forces. of the shanghai cooperation organization there was a joint statement where all the group members there were

says that it is not designed against russia but russia wants legal confirmation of that legal guarantees which it has not received so for now another apple of discord is russia's recent ban on vegetables from the european union in the way called the deadly e. coli outbreak which two days killed twenty seven people and hospitalized thousands of others brussels criticize that measure and called a disproportion and russia in its turn accuse brussels of failing to provide sufficient information on the source of the symbiote sion but progress could be reached during the summit here in. the e.u. is more transparent and shows more flexibility on the issue. build a good group an invitation to any meeting of the world's most powerful people so complacent. switzerland's just watch the political inside news media industry that's what actually discussed remains top secret plans artie's reports there is outrage at the fate of the world we decided it was this great big hotel that you can see on the hill behind me is the hotel in summer it's in switzerland and it's there for the next couple of days aro

if one does come to me what i can say about that i lived here in russia for a long time and i've watched a lot of changes and improvements happen over the standard fifteen years i had to describe russia in short i would say it continues to be a country in transition with considerable long term potential is that a bridge that's the brand in my opinion it is because i'm not sure how else you could describe it because we won from one system and we went from one another brand and so we're in transition to create their own model here in russia i would say it's not going to match the model you'll see in other countries but what i can say it has considerable long term potential not sure term but long term i think the vision is there the policy vision is there on behalf of the president's administration in the government it's just the biggest step is taking this syrian policy and putting it into practice and then means changing the institutions changing the the infrastructure changing the mentality of a lot of the people that may take a very long time robert trying to use private equity when you

russia e.u. summit was overshadowed by this route over the vegetables the scandal when the russians banned all european vegetables and russia is is i think the biggest market for european vegetables so. are you sure do you think that this is fair that this problem had to be solved by president medvedev and the leaders of the european countries should it take such a high level to solve such a problem i know probably probably probably what happened is that this happened just a few days before the summit i said i hope that is the cucumber is all ok. this converse of being possible is something that they have not done because it is not of all the local president or gave i think with them as we keep this. historical moment but not what happened is that this problem arises and the ban also took place just a few days before the summit so logically the issue was not solved by the time of the summit and the summit had to look at it. all the wise probably it would have been different but i think this simpl

all russia or china or china or russia leaving leading this new global moving on to balance the power in the wall so that they can build a new world order where no more unilateral aggressive or you can clone your own methodology being put into a sovereign nation such as libya. with r.t. live from moscow and coming up the russian businessmen whose are being lined up for jail and not justice to try to get past to appear in a new york court his defense accuses politicians of twisting the jury's arms to keep him behind bars. artie's a film crew in the southern russian republic of the north a secular discovered a device attached to the car it was thought to be a bomb it's not to be something more mysterious it's correspondent with you no question about it is in the north and south korean capital with all the details. this morning karen and i'm you know i'm you know found a divine during a technical car chakra and soon after that as the whole area of that garage was blocked off by police representatives but according to the latest information that i received from the carom and as well as so

russia allowed germany to develop certain gas fields in russia. and thus russia got some gas. on the other hand germany allowed gasper on to take on. in managing as a certain gas transporting system. so i think that if germany and russia have this kind of cooperation. we can consider similar form soft copper ration between ukraine and russia are you with. out about uniting gazprom enough to get this. is there a progress in that and is a crane interested. you know first the wall it must be mutually beneficial rikard we should find such mechanisms that would be obvious for us in terms of economic efficiency. a unification into a huge concern where enough to advance would have a say three point five percent does not seem beneficial for us at this point on theoretically it cannot be ruled out can it at the park or no we have to find some other mechanisms that are right to present any college called the possible increase of the gas price following an increase of the world price is an extremely serious threat for ukraine economy indeed oil prices are growing and since gas prices are

seems the only way how russia can it is very strong it's possible to be more but. really to build on it's not that there was a goal it's a. business as well as weekly that is strong business oriented for. tourists people who come in the shop who has been here. these weeks spent money will be quotable gunn people just impression a little more wells will do you not only consumables maybe it will be in order to build builds maybe it will be. it will be it. now what's be it's you know like you see. what's going on national football you could call this program beyond kalashnikov here they found about this forum that we're out here how valuable is this forum in st petersburg because it's really a man so a lot of people here in the lives a lot of what i read in western media about media is about what interest there is in russia i mean there's this community and there are so many pavilions in this complex here it's hard to keep track of who's here and you can't meet everyone obviously i mean. are forums like this worth while why do you guys. i think he's actually on this p

understands that russia has to change. policy part of the the global world and you know i think russia is moving in the right direction you know we've been in russia now for ten years and we see a lot of change but there's still a lot of work to do how would you rate russia's investment climate and what do you think it could be done to improve it. it's still difficult there's a growing market here you know international paper and in our joint venture with l m we're in the business of adding value to russia's resources and supplying products here in russia and also export of them to china so i think the investment climate is getting better but there's still a lot of work to do now in terms of that more work that needs to be done are the anti-corruption efforts and things along those lines what do you think can be done in order to battle not only. the real effect of that but also the perception of that insofar as it keeps it may be a barrier to doing business here well i think the best way to demonstrate that russia is diffe

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 stick do you think will. not glow. the u.s. three for example china is already a good first russian trade partner so it cannot truly grew faster than the russian move in the russian economy is growing. and there are many problems like investment climate in russia some space. problem or a problem of. working problems which to. to go and so dealing with tight if we can a letter to attention to what happened yesterday at the s e o 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 are critical for their development is there any possibility that there could be some sort of competition between nato but is probably as some would say a military force and partially economic at s c o that tends to lean more towards economics and sec

by nato and russia there is a strategic relationship between the european union and russia and that one doesn't need to be you know suspicious of everything when needs to be much more open minded and to find a way through which we work together in a way that actually delivers to india in the interest of our citizens because the citizens of garia the citizens of russia or the citizens of any country. in europe or in north america basically the same people want to live in security they want to have their rights guaranteed and they want to have economic opportunity and when there are threats against. against these very basic human desires we must stand up and protect ourselves against them well a you you said that russia obviously is not the thoughts of threats and you also mention the terrorist groups that want to acquire weapons but there is groups not in the firing ballistic missiles it can be more specific and would you consider the threats coming from the do you know places where these missiles that would be shot over bulgaria and fired from i would be a little bit more careful if i w
