scaled back its weapon sales to china due to concerns that beijing may copy the designs and later on in other foreign military markets. trying to buy some more for example before we quit mint and then produce those that equipment it's by itself so of course it's also reduces the boredom of military trade between russia and china but there's also something that russia would like to borrow from china back in the fifty's the soviet union spared no means to industrialize its communist neighbor but now it seems the tables have turned the russian officials now preoccupied with an idea of modernization with very much like to copy china's economic miracle. to war in the recent decades china made a breakthrough in high technology and called duration in these field is mutually beneficial for all countries nowadays we both have some ideas and experience to

share with each other so we have a great perspective in the high tech. but do you third's of the cabinet traveling with the president russian delegation in china improved among the largest in recent years and they all did their homework for the course of this visit russian officials took a particular liking to citing confucius china scholar how among other things at the by peaceful or is it again developing friendship with somebody who can a teacher any good well china is definitely not the case this country has made such a dramatic leap forward that even a former communist big brother russia is more than willing to learn from it from a boycott or beijing china. well i don't even call the north or from the state university of international relations says while wasser is concerned about energy supplies to europe winning of the chinese market will not be an easy task either. russia is concerned with the situation in europe whether this

situation is in this two regions different now the situation is in europe is quite settled and we are witnessing any off gas or oil wars this direction right now however with the channel we see some controversial issues yes we did agree about all supplies and we did agree about gas supplies we should remember quite well the china is also the r.c. find its suppliers not only russia is the r.c. flying it supplies. we know that china is building very good relations with central asian states with australia with salva stations there are plans to supply gas to china as well but there are no agreement on the exact prices for at the moment. tourists activists aboard

a boat sailing towards the gaza blockade say they expect israel to intercept them their campaign is say their objective is to show not all jews support their government's policy towards the palestinians well the attempts to deliver humanitarian aid comes almost four months after an israeli raid on another terror ended with nine activists being killed the incident was condemned worldwide and labeled a brutal and disproportionate attack that your state still claim the incident was self-defense against that is the turkish charity which led the cotillon terrorists linked to hamas policy or investigates. the pictures that catapulted a relatively little known in go on to the world stage in the world in which we live today where both sides or sympathize with are also being called terrorists it's no wonder that i. is being accused in this way the turkish charity first popped up on the cia's radar four years ago it's been banned in israel in germany who say it

strongly linked with hamas in gaza the last thing is my ill humans would call him soft as a terrorist he's a father of three and says he boarded the ship for gaza for his three daughters in a gaza the children should have a right to live freely we want this so i joined that organization if another event of this kind was organized i would go again sit up in the early ninety's to help bosnian muslims the i h h or humanitarian relief foundation has offices in one hundred twenty countries where are the roads the people in need we will go. troll or solidarity for these people and it shows solidarity in pakistan if you lebanon indonesia iraq china as well as with the palestinians we help hospitals schools we have the old infrastructure we have we're pauses for the people's callista new writer. a commie says israel is trying to portray the group as

a terrorist one in order to try and justify the did the flotilla grade immediate after most of world continuation of what israel had done these really is. mounted a defense which was you know we quite clever but not based on any on any facts it's enough for the investigators to decide to key israel and the united nations each with the only inquiry. r t. a recent un report came to the conclusion that israel's military broke international rules well talk to us what's a group that is part of the american jewish lobby that monitors the activities of the united nations executive director no of these the ongoing investigation is nothing more than another attack on israel the human rights council held an emergency session only a day or two after the flotilla incident happened they declared israel guilty of

quote an outrageous attack so the outcome was entirely pre-determined and this is not something that's exceptional in fact mary robinson who was the un rights chief said that the human rights council has a pattern of acting politically and not for human rights let's remember who the membership is saudi arabia china colonel qadhafi of libya is now a member of the human rights council this is not a body that cares about human rights this is a body that is political that is and gauged in a constant campaign to digitalize israel and human rights is the last thing on the minds of members like saudi arabia cuba and saudi and libya the human rights council as kofi annan said it is selective politicized and casts a shadow upon the reputation of the un as a whole. now the outcry over the facility deaths did lead to an easing of the guards a blockade although some restrictions on that in place and adnan from the united nations relief agency says easing at the placate made life effect had made little

effect on life and. i don't think that is being. a great influence on the humanitarian situation or the circumstances of the people here in the gaza strip we need jobs in gaza with the not only we need just to ignore the trucks that fall over normal the gods or or visit the bills or something like that we need building materials to get into gaza because we have those of thousands of homeless people in the gaza strip great projects for the u.n. system and the private sector just completely paralyzed and we have more than four thousand factories are have been destroyed during the war and because of the percent of the population is still depending in you on humanitarian aid organizations it is an unbearable situation here in gaza. file sharers in russia trying that can politics in an attempt to legalize the free use of copyrighted

products it comes as lawmakers actually attempt to strengthen the existing laws against pirates and get up with an offer to the winners and losers in any crackdown on russia's pirate infested music industry. here you can use it of has been in show business since the late one nine hundred eighty s. back then giving away demo tapes was the best way to gain fans if you two decades his formula seems to be making a comeback. except now to spread the word his music on the web for free so people pay to see him in concert. you see the album is already uploaded and downloaded a hundred times before i even publish date i know there's no point in fighting it some going to use it instead. according to some estimates piracy leads to over ten billion dollars in losses globally every year. anything can be found on the internet many musicians are forced to hold more concerts while just

a few years ago they were merely the second source of income for the. record companies are accusing pirates of stealing their money but there are those who want to draw a fat line between selling counterfeit c.d.'s or d.v.d.'s and sharing files on the internet or just the noncommercial exchange of information to be free. by the little is the leader of the pirates of russia party. the internet is everywhere i just need to click a button a couple of times and download a movie or some new album i want to listen to that all distribution model is pointless an outdated. algorithm the party wants to see new laws in russia legalizing all nonprofit file sharing on the web formed in july in two thousand and nine it's also one of the founders of the pirates parties international a movement which unites so-called players from around fifty countries we need to really take our chance again to take

a stand and also tradition. taking back the freedom that once belonged to us to rephrase somebody a last name that is. taken at one hundred years for the pirates unite some websites accused of facilitating illegal file sharing in the global copyright movement have millions of registered users and last year two members of sweden's pirates party even managed to get two seats in the european parliament. these people are naive and lost with poor norge of economics and history a free economy cannot exist criticism supported by some diabetes of the stadium or who see by meeting the plan was a russian official its organizers could get more than they bargained for the establishment of the pirate party. liberated this people from. criminal liability for awhile it into law the parents of russia are saying the

current laws are outdated and unfair and claim that we will be back to buy most of the internet users in the country and that is around forty percent of the electorate piracy surely is a controversial subject but let's face it it's now grown into an international phenomenon that some official pirates even getting into european politics but before the pirates of russia can even dream of getting into the state do work they'll need at least forty five thousand members just to register and the question is even if they do have the right amount of supporters are they ready to come out i mean themselves you've got this kind of orgy moscow. venezuela's ruling past president chavez has won the country's done well and election but early results so it's missed out two thirds needed for an outright majority now the opposition bloc bills put forward by the ruling party opposition leaders all think they won the popular vote which would be a major blow for the country's president the elections are seen as

a popularity has to chavez ahead of the twenty twelve presidential elections in athens has been following events in caracas. the rumors start to flare on the eve of the election allegations that voting machines were out of order began to circulate on the opposition side. but here at a station that is predominately pro opposition there were no complaints did you having trouble voting just now on our program no nothing no problems i'm very sad. what has been drilled into their heads is that the opposition will win close to fifty fifty. six. members. in the house you know the in the congress and maybe sixty seventy towards the inner city however the crowds display more support for the government. what the opposition claim all along is that media messages they hold a majority on the contrary throughout the bow to live in years to revolutionary

process those who are reelection and these do is going to be a victory for us. my point station you can hear people saying vote up to the left read the government's party this school not only one of the most historic landmarks in the city it's also one of the largest voting districts and the opinions here for the most part are somewhat fifty fifty at this polling station there were also no problems with voting some were even helping people with how and who to vote for began on the streets of caracas it's almost impossible to avoid election time. the venezuelan people know this election in many ways is an illogical dispute one deeply rooted in the history of latin america this is more than a new york war it's a war of interests and power the power that the right has always had over latin america more than any of you logical war it's about the right of the people in about the america to make our own decisions decisions that will eventually reflect after this election is finally over r t caracas venezuela.

fifth. helper about with a recap of the headlines in a few moments now there are time for all that he spends his days with that. hello and welcome to the business bulletin russia's largest bank spare bank says it has billions of dollars to spend on much as an acquisitions the bank wants to become a bigger global player and is looking to expand in asia eastern europe and c.i.s. countries c.e.o. hummin graf says while spare bank has lots of money the problem is finding quality assets to invest in bus just by bank acquired by the russian d.p.s. bank and is currently examining a takeover of kazakhstan e.t.a. . bad debts at russia's top funks have reached twenty percent of the loan portfolio the highest level since the beginning of the crisis the international finance

corporation part of the world bank says russia needs to develop a market for bad debts so banks can clear them from their balance sheets timothy crouse from the i.f.c. spoke to business r.t. about its proposal to jumpstart the system with a two hundred million dollar fund. i think that some of the banks here that are trying too hard to collect their loans are not paying attention to their core business and their market share will shrink and they'll be left holding paper that's not worth anything i think the thing is to create a market so you have a market you need buyers and you need sellers so we have plenty of buyers here capitols not the question i see provides financing we also try to match the buyers and the sellers right now we don't have enough sellers there are not enough banks that want to sell their corporate loans so there's loans to small businesses retail loans credit card loans things like this but they won't sell corporate loans yet there's too big of a gap between the price banks think that they should get thirty forty cents on the

dollar but buyers that are coming into the market are not willing to pay that yet there is no track record yet we need a precedent we need a first sale to occur and then prices will go up after that when people see that you can actually collect on bad loans in russia why hasn't the bad that's markets in russia emerged naturally off its own accord it's a little bit of a cycle a psychological issue i think no one wants to admit that they've made bad loans it takes a while to get prepared for this and i think once banks think it through once they see that they're not making progress and restructuring corporate loans once they understand that they're not going to make much progress it makes sense for someone else to give it a try someone that specializes in this business liquidity has long to go up to being the bank's main problem do you really think that clean up balance so how banks lending i think it will because banks don't have to allocate capital to the bad loans that are sitting on their books if their management doesn't have to

devote time to the bad assets that are sitting in their bank they can spend time doing what they do best which is to originate new loans where people can go out and figure out which corporate lenders are the ones that are most credit worthy which can be their best clients allocate capital to that that's what they need to do. russia is ready to provide china with all the natural gas it needs deputy prime minister igor suchan and nancy incentives the countries signed agreements on oil gas coal and nuclear energy russia may start delivering gas to china in two thousand and fifteen if the two countries can agree on all aspects of their corporation contracts with china which include gas pricing terms are expected to be signed by the middle of next year china wants to triple the use of gas to about ten percent of energy consumption by twenty twenty to cut its reliance on coal and oil . and the russian market finished low on monday echoing trends in global markets
