as the nations in the arctic reach out for the region's mineral wealth scientific top brass comes together in moscow to preserve the north poles. one constant alone to crush prime minister vladimir putin says. we must cooperate in resolving some of the quote as issues at the moscow forum join me in the actual war on the main highlights of the for me just. also as the biggest gathering of world leaders wraps up in new york president obama tells the un general assembly that iran needs to come clean. it's. big political messages are sent out from the one as the general to be unravels but are some leaders turning the

events into a theatrical get all the latest updates from the big apple just ahead in the program. at a martial arts known for his violent behavior in nationalistic views is pleading for asylum in norway following is a skate from a russian psychiatric facility last month. you're watching our. top story it has some of the most harsh conditions on the planet but the arctic is also among the most desirable places on earth right now that's because its untapped resources of oil and gas are proving to be a great source of temptation for several northern countries that's why the best scientific minds and politicians have been here in moscow trying to ensure cutthroat competition doesn't destroy conservation. reports. one of the hottest

issues surrounding one of the walls called this week jones is territorial claims at the moment several arctic states including russia canada the united states denmark and norway put forward their claims and i'm trying to prove their rise to the among most of which which is believed to contain as much as a quarter of the world's untapped undiscovered natural resources so a very lucrative piece of pie the question is how this pie is going to be divided and who gets what russia's stance is that they need to rhetorical disputes should be resolved through dialogue and it demonstrated an example of the power of dialogue with norway when recently signed an agreement with these arctic state which put an end to almost a four decade dispute of. boundaries and the many point to this agreement as an example of how similar to rhetorical conflicts could be resolved in the future the prime minister today said that any atoll coppa war heroes battle

over the icecap of the world are exaggerated to say the least but he said that every arctic state of russia in the first place as the world's largest arctic country can and should protect and protect its strategic interests in the north pole while russia's go into research work to provide data behind its territorial claims but there should be done and there should be no disputes otherwise the price of any dispute surrounding this very delicate region is high. but what is to stop it was that we have to hear some futuristic forecast. 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 predictions 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. i'm not joined by one of the participants high ranking guess the president of iceland all of our grimson thank you very much for being with us it's a real corner now from from a side it looks like the main dispute now is not even how to save the environment up this delicate region of the planet's have a but how to get out the most of it is that true what's the top priority no i think there is a very strong and almost concern by everybody in the arctic going to be sure it did in this conference call that the a model meant is of great importance that the melting of the eyes will create and then viral mental condition that we all have to deal with so it's not just a question of often you're called roche in the arctic it's all shoulder that we approach the nation

a responsible way all of us together that this is why i think i'm pretty confident that we will do all this shit of a responsible way and i think the recent agreement between norway and russia which has been short for for decades or now it's a subtle me here with us there's a very strong signal from russia as well as this conference here that russia wants to do all the responsible way and that you're welcome thank you very much for your insight it's a great or not all of a grandson president of iceland from the international arctic forum how to moscow but he's been speaking to a jug a few expert who told us that he's impressed that the arctic states are focusing as much on ecology as they are on the legality of it all. when researching my book on this topic the world in two thousand and fifty i was very surprise to learn of the great depth and level of cooperation between the five arctic countries as far as

proceeding with extending these claims the historic agreement just this year between norway and russia as you know settles a four decades long dispute in the region and this is not unique only between russia and norway there is a great deal of cooperation that's going on between countries contrary to popular perception the arctic ocean is not a ruptured spleen yada in order to extend these claims a great deal of scientific mapping and work is needed unfortunately it's this is an area where it's difficult for international law to have a strong effect because each country of course controls its own environmental laws in the case of russia this will take a great deal of thought and planning and internal work but other countries face the same problem in canada on the mackenzie delta in the united states off the north slope of alaska protecting the environment will continue to be a matter of great importance and deliberation i say look at some of the data the

top news stories of the largest form of world leaders is culminating with nearly two hundred nations rounding off the u.n. general assembly president obama again told us that iran needs to open up about its nuclear program he also praised the progress on cutting nuclear weapons with russian it's got the latest studies on this. for us to bring us up to date on the events it didn't take assume that if you would some of what the u.s. president had to say first of all then. well kevin you know it's interesting we report we've been reporting over the last couple of days that new york has been taken over by new york u.n. general assembly madness but i have to tell you that it's really today's the day when the frenzy has really taken over the city we haven't seen traffic we have policemen everywhere and it's ironic that the u.s. president barack obama was supposed to make a speech at a certain time today but he ended up also being late for his speech to address the u.n. general assembly in the assembly hall apparently all of this traffic was there for

him so he could get places faster but he ended up being the one who is late so that's a little irony for you there but on a more serious note we have to say that the speech that he made many analysts were saying and predicting that the speech will be an attempt by him to try to win more political points since of course the midterm elections are approaching in the united states whether or not that attempt was successful we're going to have to wait and see but the keynotes of the speech have been he talks extensively on the peace process in the middle east but it's interesting that these israeli delegation when barack obama was making his speech was nowhere to be seen in the assembly hall and not really following what he was saying but he also of course touched upon the u.s. and global economies the situation has been tough there both all over the world and within the united states of course and last but not least very importantly he really talked a lot about the issue of nuclear nonproliferation he hailed the attempts between russia and the united states the signing of the new start treaty and he did say that it's the door for dialogue for iran is still open and that the u.s.

and the international community are hoping that iran will step up and really begin serious dialogue on nuclear nonproliferation with the rest of the world here's here's what he had to say as we pursue the world's most dangerous to extremists we're also denying them the world's most dangerous work. and pursuing the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons we have joined with russia to sign the most comprehensive arms control treaty in decades and here at the united nations we came together to strengthen the nuclear nonproliferation treaty. as part of our effort on nonproliferation i offered the islamic republic of iran an extended hand last year and underscored that it has both rights and responsibilities as

a member of the international community iran is the only part of the n.p.t. that cannot demonstrate the peace the peaceful intentions of its nuclear program and those actions have consequences well you know this is a message of course not mccombs tehran and whether or not. this message has been reaching the arena and leaders is of course still a very big. champion skate from a russian cyclist turned up at bull way way he's allowed to stay extreme nationals vicious love that seek has a history of violence it was odd when he showed up to immigration officials sara first takes up the story. the u.n. human rights council brutal and disproportionate israel for its part calling it biased politicized extremists talk about that and i was doing was arrested for being on board the ship and the flotilla and still are thanks for being with us tonight how significant this judgment for you egypt israel points out the panel

condemned began its investigation. clears all the members. flotilla. only and i'm doing points that the blockade was illegal. at the time everybody vindicates. mission to go to israel well ok but actually against its number wasn't actually part of the group at the time although i do believe we've got the people the activists were trying to achieve so you surprised at what happened that day yes i mean force that was used as the united nations. group said the force that was used was necessary it was because of proportion to anything that was on board any of the vessels there was no. civilians on board the vessel and mostly humanitarian person. so what does this mean on a practical level now what are the practical benefits to you all of these u.n.

findings what does it mean they're going to do you expect any real action to be taken as a result of it well hopefully the governments international governments and european union governments will take action and supports the next flotilla to leave in mid november. with more aid. that we know another u.n. investigation is underway as well that is seen as it is having more weight to it it's got ban ki moon's backing it also includes israel and turkey from where of course the nine who were killed were from do you think that a toll may draw different conclusions or a danger of that. well look i can't see them drawing any different conclusions i mean this was a very concise. process that was created a but you know united nations group they interviewed a lot of people in the united kingdom in france. geneva and also in the middle east. look at myself as

a sea. scene and it was point to point it was. there was no blasting of the information the rest. flotilla or one of the ships that was with the flotilla thank you for giving us your thoughts recollections pretty. red on the east georgia was behind the attack. the most significant strike again is . pressurising on official to delay the recall for the commonwealth games in india new zealand comes after in face criticism over poor accommodation for athletes and the collapse of a foot bridge which injured twenty seven workers the games are due to begin next week with local officials insisting that the facilities will be completed on time. hundreds of thousands of people in france are protesting against plans to raise or retire to sixty two public transport and by the twenty four hour stoppage well over two hundred protests are planned to try the government however part france is

a whole the global economy is not doing as well as i think it would like and so all gold is doing is basically acting as an insurance policy if you will on future economic and uncertainty what also is doing of course local always does traditionally is act as a real absolute way of storing wealth as opposed to non. such as national currency it's i think the gold still has legs i think it's going to go higher although the reality is a gold's been going up for over ten years or so but i don't say that gold's going to go up higher lightly i really think it will because i see massive amount of money printing throughout the world not only in the u.s. i see other places too for example the bank of japan just intervene on their currencies perhaps essentially devaluing the currency and so all of these things taken into account basically mean that been nominal value of gold which is what we see on our screens every day it's going to go higher so you know what i think it has a way it's going to get. now in other news the russian government believes it will be able to achieve zero budget deficit sometime soon after two thousand and thirteen the prime minister putin says this will be dependent on generating income

from other sources the rule materials. we will continue to decrease our budget deficit in the future or two thousand and thirteen the deficit will be less than three percent of g.d.p. . zero deficit judging by the changes that happened this year it could happen quickly first of all to balance the budget we're counting on economic growth it's quality but we need not just the revenues from material it's. time now to have a look at the markets and here in moscow the forces the close the day session and narrow range follows lost his earlier in the day along with trends on the global markets as worries and grew over the pace of economic recovery energy majors were the main driver. bucking the trend though with bad banks close up nine percent. now the world bank's private sector lending international

poor's explained how the trading system works and what it's worth in russia. essentially carbon trading is when one country trades carbon reductions with another one so if you reduce the amount of greenhouse gases you put into the atmosphere you can sell that reduction to another country for profit and the same as any other commodity in that respect the only big difference is that it's very strictly regulated under the kyoto protocol above united nations so it is essentially a commodity market it's worth around one hundred forty four billion dollars a year in terms of global allowance trading and most of the activity is in the european emissions trading scheme other countries are increasingly selling credits into the trading scheme including russia it is there is it possible to make money from it if there is a possibility to make money essentially if you reduce the amount of carbon you put into view atmosphere and you invest money to do so and you earn a carbon credit that carbon credit can then be sold at

a profit into an emissions trading scheme so it is possible to make money out of your hair and not stay afloat conference the carbon markets and invest it and left as they say shit what ten chill does russia offer for carbon trading what russia at the moment is and bought on a major milestone in terms of its carbon trading activity it's just approved the first fifteen and mission reduction projects under the j i scheme stands for joint implementation those fifteen projects account somewhere in the region of thirty seven million tonnes of carbon reductions and they are going to be sold into the international market now while that's not a huge amount of carbon reduction we're talking about three hundred seventy million euros in terms of the value compared to hundred forty four billion overall globally it's still an important start for russia we've been waiting for for years to get to this stage and more importantly russia is now going to carry on ten more more projects under j.i. and the estimated value of the market for russia is somewhere in the region of two point seven billion euros on the sumption of it it generates one hundred billion

tonnes of carbon reduction per year. and that shop they for this hour we can always find most stories on our website auto call flash. closeup team has been to the our hangal speak. for the first russian fleet was born
