everyone's after a piece of the arctic sea minerals treasury the best scientific minds come together in moscow to make sure exploration doesn't need to exploitation. one comes down to a lonely russia's prime minister vladimir putin says nature shows we must all the way to resolving voting issues at the most scope or. calling for unity in the big apple or as international leaders focus on global poverty middle east peace and world security. nato says the alliance and russia need each other and should work on missile defense jointly iran is urged by the international community to resume talks we'll bring you all the latest updates from new york ahead in the program. and of why the martial arts fighter with extremist news is

seeking political asylum in norway after escaping from a russian psychiatric facility last month. and coming up in all the latest market news we've been looking at one point being that it. goes on going on in about twenty. here watching r t coming to you live from the russian capital good to have you with us now first in the program it may be one of the world's most inhospitable places but it's also among the most keenly sought after now that's why several nations including russia canada and the united states are in the race for the billions of tons of oil and gas which lie beneath the arctic leading science. and politicians

are in moscow to ensure cutthroat competition does not destroy conservation now let's get more from a cut that even over this covering the event alive for us now all the nations involved are unlikely to give an inch of territory with such rich and increasingly accessible resources now how are they working out who gets what. indeed the territorial claim seems to be the host issues surrounding one of the world's coldest region as you've just said the united states russia canada norway and denmark are now putting their claims trying to prove their rise to the among most a breach which is believed to contain as much as a quarter of the world's untapped undiscovered natural resources but the question is how these countries are going to get to that piece of a big cake and russia says it should be done through dialogue it actually demonstrated just recently that the power of dialogue when it signed an agreement with ona the arctic state with no way which put an end to

a four decade dispute over over ice boundaries ice boundaries in the northern pole and many say that it was an example of how similar territorial complex should be resolved in the future and another conflict is in the air at the moment as i've just said about the lamont also ridge and the forum is actually about the dialo the title of the forum itself says the arctic the territorial wherever the benefits the russian prime minister said today people should be aware what the arctic needs now is stable secure sustainable management and there should be no conflicts about the cape of the world because the price is too high. but what is to stop it is that we have to hear some futuristic forecasts predicting the battle for the arctic are responsible analysis shows the majority of the frightening scenarios on the future of the arctic have no grounds whatsoever

their goal is to provoke clashes among the arctic states and so that those who make the projections can fish for something in the murky waters but i am absolutely sure that all the existing problems including the ones over the continental shelf can be resolved in a manner of partnership and according to the. now one should understand why these dialogue about undiscovered untapped natural resources was raised in the first place climate change has led to the use the ice is shrinking and now access to natural resources is getting easier but the problem is the country's going to ensure that there would be another disaster similar to that which happened in the gulf of mexico because with its specific very delicate environment like in the arctic case even a small or even a small accident could lead to much more serious consequences now for more on these some not joined by one of the participants of the international oxic forum in moscow but it's still of what was also executive director of the northern forum

thank you very much for joining us ms my pleasure well turn onlooker who has been following what's the debates behind these doors it seems like the main dispute now is not about the ice itself not about the north pole but what's beneath the ice evolve these huge potentially huge amounts of untapped natural resources and. so what's the main priority in the whole to save the arctic or to get the most out of it. i think the priority is a combination of the two and we've heard several speakers over the last two days talk about the need to balance economic development natural resource extraction with protecting the environment and protecting the livelihoods of the people who live in the arctic but you know most forty seven forty a last reason certainly certainly is it likely that these quiet as a piece of cake dispute may suddenly boil up i don't i don't think so being an

arctic resident you learn that you must depend on your next door neighbor to survive in fact prime minister putin mentioned that today in your speech that we rely on our neighbors for survival in the arctic. if you were to start some kind of . major dispute you jeopardize the trust in the ability to survive in the arctic cooperation is the key to survival in this environment this what the arctic is mainly undiscovered and this is what's been set highlights this for what should one know about the arctic in the first place the arctic is an area of rich resources natural resources oil gas timber gold but also resources of people and the people who live in the arctic are particularly.

hardy people they cooperate with each other they work together they have unique cultures that should be cherished by all of us the resources in the north are both human and natural resources and it's a beautiful environment it's a beautiful place to live but it's also an environment that needs to be protected or we hope that we can indeed cherish that increasingly a beautiful and very delicate environment thank you very much for your insight to what is still a boy executive director of the northern forum and the participants of the international oxic corps which has been how to these minutes in the russian capital thank you for that r.t.c. cutting out got two of our reporting from the international arctic four in moscow and that will have more coverage on the disputed area throughout the day so do stay with r.t. . now the largest a form of world leaders call me it's on thursday as nearly two hundred nations around the u.n. general assembly and it's been dominated by hitting poverty goals but with many

eyes on the middle east and iran suspect nuclear program other matters on the sidelines include russia's dealings with nato artie's an associate explains. one of the most important events of the day has been the russian nato council meeting where sides agreed that it's important to continue to cooperate and spheres like fighting drug trafficking in afghanistan security in europe and of course missile defense this is a very important moments because in the last couple of days nato secretary general has been saying that it's important for russia and nato to try to find a way to work in missile defense together to try to come up with a joint project the relationship between nato and russia has gone through some rough patches ever since the georgian a setting in conflict back in the year two thousand and eight and of course the possibility and needles eastward expansion but the secretary general of nato gave a press conference where he said that it's very important for russia and nato to continue building a stronger and warmer and more trusting relationship. review of the twenty first

century common security challenges. call peroration on afghanistan. all practical corporation in try to cherish them all piracy hopefully from my point of view a star controller's corporation gerry tauriel defense today corporation with russia in addressing these challenges is no longer just an opportunity to build a better relationship with russia it has become a necessity if we want to be effective in preserving our common security now another important meeting was the five permanent members of the security council plus germany meeting to discuss the latest situation the developing situation with iran basically the five permanent members plus germany got together to assess whether or not the existing sanctions have been working and impacting iran's

actions now the main idea that came out of the five plus one meeting was that the group wants iran to resume talks that the possibility of negotiations is welcomed and and wanted. interesting that it has hinted that basically it is open to discussions however we have to remember that iran and iran's president mahmoud ahmadinejad has really been playing a lot of mind games lately among other things that he has said is that iran is going to launch a war against the united states if the united states tackles iran's uranium facilities other things that the mahmoud ahmadinejad has said that iran is open for dialogue and then he was saying that this format of five plus one is not exactly the best way for iran to cooperate so really no details worked out yet but at today's meeting the five plus one try to come up with the next steps that they would take if iran sits down for negotiations. well as discussion over iran's nuclear program takes the floor at a u.n.

meeting in new york a media blitz against it has been launched in manhattan now the main target of the costly ad campaign is president obama did the job himself artie's muddy the portnoy has more. to do just. call it a september tradition the president of iran visits the big apple. angry protesters school on his arrival i am going to say please this. is the biggest area . and there are people being hurt there wasn't a blizzard around people you must be honest it drives know right now a good bill you need don't show it didn't is that it. or you'll be there more to the oas mahmoud ahmadinejad may be the most hated guest at the hilton. but the world leader americans love to vilify is also the most visible face in manhattan courtesy of this organization united against nuclear iran

a number of people don't understand the extent to which you can agree just violator of human rights is they don't understand seriously the dangers of a nuclear armed iran and the purpose of this ad campaign is to raise awareness of the specific and we can only encourage people to take action again today new yorkers are surrounded by endless images of him sprinkled along second avenue posted along third pasted on phone booths and hovering over a million people here in times where i'm out on the job has now become part of the media map of united states the billboard says he's not welcome here yet he sees the future in more than two hundred ads posted throughout the city america's favorite dinner side by side with its favorite nemesis and he need to do it everywhere sort of like the enemy but not. the enemy you know but yet we're.

plastering this face up there an ad blitz highlighting the worst accusations against iran's leader has some questioning the messenger more than the message this is the kind of dumbing down of our collective consciousness in this country that's just going to keep getting us in trouble like we need to be educated about what the issues are. and the only way we're going to solve this issue with iran is if we look at the entire middle east and in demilitarizing the whole zone but we could listen from misinforms most people mr burnham about one of them what do you think there is about one thing nobody knows for sure we were. not so telling the cost of the anti on the didn't job campaign. you know we don't disclose our numbers for obvious purposes ad sales experts tell our t. that united against nuclear iran spent an estimated three hundred thousand dollars project that money be better off spent on home a speedboat forty thousand of whom remain out in the dark of new york city while
