if.

all. storms brewing in the far east to meet the madrid visits russia's creel islands causing an outcry in japan which claims the territory has its own. leaving chaos behind us troops out of iraq local forces problem with a lid on the violence that is surging to magically also. conflicts that we see today based around the energy to go away scientists propose

a lifelong source of green energy that could fit into your bed but some say the revolutionary nuclear fuel is the dry hot air. business argy will bring you all the latest market news as well as the latest from there russ knocke of the culture forum as it gets underway in moscow and going to. live from our headquarters in central moscow you're watching r t with me and he said now way it's four pm here in the russian capital ten pm in to in tokyo and moscow has dubbed unacceptable japan's diplomatic protest over dmitri medvedev visit to russia's southern creel islands tokyo which claims the four islands as its own said the president's trip was regrettable and some addresses in basad or to japan well the islands lie in the pacific and are part of

a larger russian held archipelago to the north of japan they came under moscow's control at the end of world war two the real. it has rich first thing ground and mineral deposit and is believed to have vast oil and gas reserves russian's foreign minister sergey lavrov reiterated that the russian leader is free to visit any region in the country. gets. japan's reaction to president medvedev strip to the poor alliance is unacceptable it is our land and the russian president was visiting a russian territory i'm sure we've already explained this to our japanese partners today we will summon japan's ambassador to russia to once again on the big was lee reiterate this position we're not going to take any steps that would hinder relations was the japanese side should make its own conclusion. so what president medvedev says russia's interest in developing the creel islands russia's interest that i should say in developing the creel islands r.t. is on a boycott has been following the leaders of those it to the region. made

a video for us of the first leader of either russia or the soviet union to visit those islands and one of the reasons why russian and soviet leaders have been so reluctant to venture into that part of the country is because they didn't want to crave the attention of with the neighboring japan but we should be there sad if he felt it was extremely important it was incumbent on him to do so to stress the strategic importance of this region and also sad that it is very important for russia to make sure that people living in the crew live as don't feel abandoned that they don't feel neglected that they have acceptable living standards how to keep plots to continue our kids in resources in order to develop their regions and infrastructure here is exactly what she sat. in recent years we've managed to change the situation for the better new housing is being built social infrastructure being created it's good as it's improving living standards and gives

hope that they could reach the same levels as the mainland within a reasonable time frame obviously it's a remote part of the country would still be opportunities that people have there should be at a decent level we need more professionals to go to live there to provide housing good living conditions some incentives to study. japanese foreign minister already sad that this trip was highly regrettable and that it really hurt japanese public sentiment on the other hand the russian officials are saying that they're still open for negotiations with that japanese call except that their guards to the south there in korea live and status but what they essentially a saying is that they're still ready to come back to the nineteen fifties thinks that the soviet union and japan came to and one of the points of that agreement was essentially on the part of russia agreeing to transfer it to the un and she could time and have been my back to japan but on the condition that the two countries

first signed a peace treaty that. more money would amount to the second bold war on japan has never agreed to that for russia give it your way you'll do islands is already a very big compromise it's already a very big concession but which if that is just the starting point in me go last year i wonder if a very interesting and very respectable polling agency here in russia conducted a poll asking people nationwide. what they feeling about the possibility of russia handing the those dollars back to egypt and ninety percent down to the respondents sad that they are absolutely against it. well for more on the ongoing territorial dispute i'm now joined by do your due to low rioters from russia's national committee on asian pacific security thank you for being with us now are we going to see a major flare up between moscow and tokyo as a result of president medvedev visit to the cool real islands. well the reaction to this sort of and it was a bit surprising for me as an expert both from the point of view of international

law and for all the points of view of politics because of the. sure. it's considered to be under all international agreements that there are russian territory of course any national leader shouldn't going to permission for a visit to his own territory and nobody expected that reaction from japan as far as i understand. and. that gives us some food for thought why japan recently had. quarreled with all of their neighbors about about the issue. we all remember the iraq about the. islands no dependence to get the scandal of the year the crew of the crew islands although nothing and nothing changes so that's must have to do so from japan's own both internal and international board from this position now i think just that

a compromise as as far. i understand which japan seems to be ignoring why do you think tokyo is pushing so hard on its claims do you think it's nasa no pride that we're talking about is that historic. and i can't hear a good is what i was saying is why do you think japan is pushing so hard after russia has proposed a compromise this year. well i said that it must be connected with japan in japanese internal politics now with the kind of wants to get some support from his constituencies and. the rethinking of japan's external threat a threat that is also under way so hence the government of japan has in clyde more to a conflict than to compromise and really i can say that these so many bed of three p. in my mind was not a sort of a declaration not of sort of of offense to japan because no russians advance into

the east asia pacific and this is a lot of cold stab. you know that russia had just been adopted the noise cement to the east asian summit mechanism and all winter gratian into asia in the pacific is impossible with the development of far east and they can rely lands which are important strategic of course of russia in this area so this is quite a logical development from the point to your russian foreign policy but not meant to. cause friction with japan do you think if and when could we see some kind of revolution here just briefly. said again do you think we could see any kind of resolution. well no resolution in the short term and you know that the russia have suggested they took in two thousand and five two. to the decision that

we should. surrenders to our. intercourse with a song for over with john for a joint statement of nine hundred sixty five overnight in the fifty six about the subpoena rejected so russia is not in a position to propose new compromise but i don't think that russian position of will get tougher. here due to arrive from russia's national committee on asia pacific security thank you very much for your analysis there thank you thank you. the moscow does not feel bad nato treats its enemy russia's foreign minister should be treated as an enemy russia's foreign minister has said during talks with his german counterpart the minister streamlined their positions ahead of the russian nato council in lisbon and also discussed disarmament plans let's get more now from marty's getting a great job on who'd been following the talks she now joins us live hi there you catherine what were the main talking points of the news conference. monday security

was the central global security was the central issue of the talks between the two foreign minister now russia is seeking to develop different forms of cooperation both with the european union security structures and with the north atlantic alliance with nato something we should have been unimaginable a couple of years ago and this is well partly what they've been talking about and. focused on was missile defense in europe and this is the this is what russia's been keeping a close eye on we know that in september this year nato secretary general on the rossum the son invited russia in an official statement to take part. in the european missile defense system looks to be a liberal said today that certain work has been done already both by its nato partners and by russia in this direction in particular recently they've been

working on a joint stay. munt assessment of common threats and challenges of the twenty first century and the russian foreign minister believes that these documents will be ready by the time these born russian nato summit takes place one of the responses they are considering in this document is new south proliferation now at the same time sergei lavrov said today that russia realizes there are other processes going on at the same time with that agreements being achieved with some european countries on the part of the united states of america about deploying alum and salt but missile defense systems on the european continent and what russia wants to know before the lease born summit takes place is how its nato partners see russia's role russia's dissipate in that system now one of the questions asked. by journalists to sergei lavrov was whether he had a feeling russia is still viewed as an enemy by nato and he said this was not the

case these days and do the best that i believe he's german counterpart also said there was a u. turn in the nato russia relationship recently. you saw it is this may be the image of the enemy shouldn't exist anymore and must be left in history we view russia as a strategic partner we've got mutual interests and we of course have differences in opinion and we can talk about them and solve problems in terms of nato it was always a goal of germany to bring russia into the project of mutual defense i have stressed that russia must work on the issue with us we are making good progress towards the . bank of the arena russia and germany of course covered a raft of issues but with anything said about russian recent participation in a joint and to drop operation in afghanistan. all right just recently made to russia appear together on nine news reports shortly after the successful oprah

asian tip. on the border between afghanistan and pakistan and russia too caught in that open ration as a result of that four drug lab or trees were destroyed with the drugs would some to add two hundred fifty million dollars of course questions were raised after words whether russia it was the first sign that russia was coming back to afghanistan and whether one could expect that it would be involved in a full scale military come paid in the war in afghanistan whether it will be sending troops or personnel to that country sergey lavrov made it clear today that russia is not going to sit to participate in the war in afghanistan that e.t.s. go in as it's been over the past several years helping nato with intelligence data data something which contributed seriously to successfully fulfilling the oath ration last week but that it is not going to send its troops to afghanistan here's

what he said on the comments coming after as you know russia's participation in that open ration and he called it speculation. it was almost to last will see if there are speculations that russia will return to afghanistan the visions are probably cations it's totally out of the question russian troops will never return to afghanistan this is our firm positions that will not be changed. well the fact is that this visit comes on the heels of another important trilateral major gathering all of the three main european powers russia germany and france was the g. twenty summit the middle east peace process that began to stand in iran and today the two foreign ministers focused on some of the most difficult john the points of the coming g. twenty summit in sea with russia nato summit which we've been talking about and also the always see meeting in kazakhstan all stand also is just part one that. it

is indeed all right for now you can see the reporting live from moscow. now a deadly siege in baghdad by a group of militants on sunday ended with fifty two dead and scores more wounded man in suicide vest an armed with grenades took an entire congregation hostage one of the city's largest christian churches the attackers then demanded the release of an al qaeda prisoner prisoners in iraq and a four hour standoff ended when iraqi troops stormed the building and the fire firefight ensued after gunmen some security forces and many of the hostages dead. well joining me now to discuss the situation in iraq is jim brann he's a member of the stop the war coalition thanks for being with us mr brown now in the light of this latest attack on the baghdad church and continue in sectarian violence in the country was the american troop withdrawal the right move.

yes so i think. i think the clear intention of the united states to leave iraq seems to me a indispensable precondition for iraq to. rebuild itself united states forces are a powerful factor in iraq to politics and they are a kind of. central determining factor and since iraqis overwhelmingly believe that the united states invaded iraq for its own interests that's how united states forces must be seen by iraq is as a. force with its own interests etc so the principle of united states forces leaving seems to me. lee correct and it's not that clear that if the united states. i mean this line that the united states has to be

there to support the iraqi forces seems to me the iraqi forces have a very long history of looking after iraq so i don't really see that the united states forces are in disposable for that so am i right i understand that you don't believe any kind of security forces should have stayed on to help help iraqi forces take over how vital do you think that is to peace in the country. well i notice if you go back to two thousand and three the first head of the occupation administration in iraq he was only in there for a month general garner and he said look back to the philippines at the beginning of the twentieth century said our forces were in the philippines for one hundred years . as a what he called a calling station he said our forces will be in iraq. will be our coaling station in the middle east for years to come so he said that even in two thousand and three

as an objective of united states invasion. and i think iraq is a well aware of that and i don't think that you can. call upon the united states to support provide some abstract security as if security had nothing to do with the interests. to defend their own interests do you think this latest attack is an indicator of future security in the country. it is if instability remains but you really have to question for example whether the united states wants stability in iraq which excludes itself and i think the answer is that it doesn't and whereas it might want a certain kind of stability a certain kind of security. it's not that clear that it really wants.

real peace real tranquility which might exclude itself. and. i have great faith in the abilities of the iraqis especially of of all the peoples of or among most peoples of the regions of the rockies to actually sort things out in iraq so given a chance. jim brown of the stop the war coalition on the line live from london thank you very much for your time. we'll check out our web site for a lot more stories blogs and videos here's a taste of what's online right now at our dot com i'm bob you've been taking for american students now of the government more than credit cards that are and with no dumps around both have nowhere. and moscow joined in with the best of them involved i mean a night of some fun. vampires and witches tarts and. now

the idea of an eco friendly nuclear energy may have once seemed impossible but now scientists believe they found the fuel of the future story on is more abundant than your radium and could and our dependence on fossil fuels that explores why the metal has still to gain a foothold in the market. we all use energy but at what cost. energy security why many more wars are thought the oil's running out and there doesn't seem to be a viable alternative insights but unbeknown to most there's an energy source that says clean green and abundant all over the globe story m z nuclear fuel and its supporters believe it will change the world conflicts that we've seen today based around energy could go away and that these energy sources that i'm talking about

which don't emit carbon dioxide or or greenhouse gases and don't produce dangerous ways cored enable us to have cleaner water cleaner air and less intrusion on our environment for energy production a ton of the silvery metal produces as much energy as two hundred tons of uranium ore three and a half million tons of coal. the amount of thorin there would take her vital all the power to run your entire life. is about the size of a marble about beg a group working on story in the u.k. says it hasn't managed to get the british government on board so far so it's looking to cooperate with countries like russia for several years now a russian physicist has been proposing to build saurian power stations but ironically his ideas haven't been taken up there's a lot of focus on renewables at the moment so maybe that's where they feel that there's more public support rather than. but i think if they truly understood the

potential of story. then they would realize that it's a good investment research on thore and was largely halted in the middle of the last century after a year rainy unpowered reactor was designed. many believe thore and also fell out of the spotlight because making a bomb out of it is thought to be almost impossible but today not all scientists are thore i'm converts. reactors don't really work every challenge and it's a whole new technology which has very insurmountable problems in my opinion they would have problems in developing the process in which you split the fuel from the waste from the reactor who would have difficulties in actually store in fuel. since two thousand and seven cities from london to sydney have held our turning the

lights off to save energy proponents say if the power became a reality we could turn the lights back on with confidence. from. the rooms a divisive thing some say it's a technology that's being tried tested and found lacking others say that because the light water reactor got there first the room was never given a proper chance but while it's cheap. abundant and even a possibility the scientists here at the annual story and conference say give it a go it might even change the world were a bit arty london. where up to date now from the news desk where i take a short break and then you know joins us for the latest from the world of business stay with us. for the full story we've got. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. hello
