rights and freedoms so many critics in india of really slammed the portrayal of india as the world's most dangerous country for women they say that's absurd they say there can be no comparison with countries like saudi arabia where you know until recently women could be jaded simply for driving so i think beyond the outrage there is recognition that the soviet does raise that issues in some fortress so a lot of the attention that we've seen on women's rights in india have stemmed since that gang rape the horrific gang rape of a student in delhi in two thousand and twelve would you say that there's been a perceptible change in attitude of people there towards women safety well since that gang rape in two thousand and twelve in delhi was certainly talking much more about. safety you know the indian media also carries daily reports of sex crimes over the past couple of days they've been reporting extensively on the brutal. rape of the seven year old girl in the state of when they were there which has prompted really angry protests there but i would say it's the gang rape of two thousand

india is the world's largest democracy. it could be a great friend to america, if america plays its cards right. >> steve: what you describe in your book in terms of what is happening with india's economic and development in other ways? >> india's growing quickly. as the world's largest the world's fastest growing economy. it has some of the same problems you face in the united states. it has a deep and vibrant tech center. a lot of big companies. it also have a growing problem with inequality. only two billionaires in india and the mid- 90s that now have something like 120. that's more than any country apart from china. while is becoming more economically important, it's also struggling with some of the same problems that you're having in the united states. >> steve: to think, what is the attitude of india to investment and economic partnership? would they welcome it or they wary of the u.s. getting involved? >> i think it is a big opportunity. if you look at it from silicon valley and what you're talking about, china has

and russia haven't because both india and china also have nuclear weapons that is going to. develop its nuclear weapons in nine hundred ninety eight just be twenty years it has how many nuclear bombs under them ten and twenty compared to what the superpowers have said ten years into their new developments india has a. very very few programs that is the case with china and china also has a very solid no question in get us more progress on that northwest us to see what kind of us and china house will be at the end of reference so even pakistanis have no more than i'm going to be their constituents i fly think of the other countries not china pakistan and india. where they are better in many ways that the superpowers and they continue to behave in a manner that is not setting good examples for the other countries in the international system and mr off let me come to you do you think that the fact that all of these countries especially when you're talking about india china pakistan india and between you know two neighbors that it has territorial disputes with has it made those c

sanctions than india and china exactly right if you are a european refiner with any form of a u.s. interest you're going to be watching the situation very very carefully because the last thing you want is even though european governments might be saying look you can carry on your transactions if there are some banking sanctions oh any form of second new sanctions further down the line being imposed on these companies they will be looking at this very very warily see can see why everyone is of rating in a very cautious environment. mr marandi what do you make of all of that you know that certainly painting a very bleak for iran and of all of this pressure is to force iraq and to make a new nuclear deal to rethink its what it's doing in the region and syria in yemen is it going to have that effect what codd's does iran have now well i would like to first point out that i mean narrative that runs inconsistent with the american narrative is not the official iranian. official iranian narrative and i think that's a bit insulting what is quite clear is that the iranians are being. confron

in terms of supplying both kinds of products to india. it looks as though that over the last seven years some 7.7 -- 9.7 billion of products would have been affected. so it's a meaningful size number. and probably it will be much more than that because a lot of things they knew would not be exportable they didn't order from us. lng to india.g to just about every place in the region. so far relatively limited quantity, and part of that is a strange problem in the u.s. side. there has been so much activity in the permian basin that the surface transportation for getting from the permian over to export ports is lagging behind. so there's a tremendous amount of road construction, tremendous amount of construction, tremendous amount of even more detailed infrastructure like schools, housing, to deal with this incredible boom in the permian. secretary gutierrez: secretary, more questions. one related to pompeo. partnership not domination, and that was interesting concept, we've sort of set up china as our rival, as our competitor. is the idea t

india's. government to deal with. wednesday morning here in moscow this is international very well. u.s. president donald trump is now facing yet backlash softer claiming that he misspoke when saying that he saw no reason why russia would presidential elections he was already under intense pressure from the u.s. media over his performance at the helsinki summit with. reports from washington on latest remarks. the key sentence in my remarks i said the word would instead of what. i have president putin he just said it's not russian i will say this i don't see any reason why it would be. sent in i don't see any reason why it wouldn't be russia. sort of a double negative. so you could put that in and i think that probably clarifies things pretty good bias so it's not just politicians from both sides going absolutely nuts over the trumpet and summit it's the media as well and it's mostly just criticism of trump's willingness to talk to putin there's a reason there is a big national freakout happening right now over what the president just did in public why do we have putin pitch to shout

well i think on many levels india has really moved on when it comes to the assertiveness and visibility of the gay community like you said gay pride parades that are openly gay celebrities we have gay friendly cafes and parties but you know if you look at the smaller towns and cities i think plays a role that thousands of homosexuals and constrain the people who still face crippling discrimination and since they considered a criminal in the eyes of the north the are hugely vulnerable to police abuse sexual assault and they really have little access to justice little access to justice is that something that they would gain if this law is changed. well i think many activists here would agree that repealing the law is necessary but that's really just a first step in what is expected to be a long and difficult journey of really battling deep seated social stigma and bias you know there is still a widespread belief in india that homosexuality is an illness that can be cured so i think really people's perceptions need to be changed about what is normal and i think that will take time our repo

for china and india close relations with india is increasingly important. 0ur correspondent explains. the indian prime minister says this is important to get a toehold in the emergencies. due to the proximity the eastern part accounts for almost half of india's exports to africa and that is why the indian prime minister is eager to cement business partnerships here. for years there has been immense chinese investment and india is late. xijinping's tour of africa could be seen as a way of beijing trying to shore up presence on the continent. it is estimated china is pouring $10 billion a year into african infrastructure. for example in rwanda this week the chinese president is said to have signed 15 deals worth millions of dollars. some will say this is absolutely fantastic because after all who else will do it? and yet critics claim that chinese investment comes in the form of difficult to repay loans which could block african countries into beijing's sphere of influence. the united states has announced a $12 billion emergency aid package to help those hurt by the escalating trade war
