welcome back. john vause is back with me. >> of course. we've got a big hour coming up including the u.s. president, barack obama, who is in beijing. the first stop on his week-long tour of asia. we'll take a look at what's on his agenda. live to beijing for that. plus freed from north korea. inside the secret mission to get these two imprisoned americans back home safe. fireworks, music and balloons helped germans celebrate the 25th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall. >> we weren't there but by dolly we covered it. >> >> the leaders of china and

japan have held their first face-to-face talks since both took office. >> xi jinping and shinzo abe shook hands at the apec summit in beijing monday. the meeting is considerate a breakthrough, believe it or not, in the tensions between the two countries. they've had a long-standing territorial dispute over a chain of islands in the east china sea. the last formal meeting at this level between china and japan took place nearly three years ago. they look happy. u.s. president barack obama is also in beijing for the apec meetings. it is the first stop on his week-long asia trip. he is also expected to meet with china's president. that happens wednesday to discuss key foreign policy issues like cyber security and climate change. mr. obama then heads to myanmar and finally australia and that will be for the g-20 summit. china's human rights record is also under the microscope while president obama is in beijing. david mckenzie joins us live

with more details. given problems at home how much influence would he have in china when it comes to human rights? >> reporter: john, he's still the commander in chief of the u.s., of course. and that carries a lot of weight still around the world. including here in china. though state media gave him a rubbing before he arrived, certainly this will be a crucially important set of meetings between xi jinping and president obama on the side lines of apec mutual day-lateral meetings. and one issue that could be on the table is human rights. since president xi jinping of china came into power, human rights groups say that he has tightened the screws on the press, on civil society, and on activists. and one prominent activist we spoke to says this is an opportunity for president obama to bring those issues up. the gleaming towers of beijing. an image the rule is communist party wants to show off.

but there's another side to the chinese capital. in an apartment complex called freedom city, evidence of the party's latest crackdown on human rights. one of china's most prominent dissidents lives in this compound in the east of beijing. we're going to see if we can access him. can we come inside here? plainclothed state security is everywhere here. sometimes 20 at a time. this is just a private complex, what's the problem? the extraordinary measures are for just one man. hu ja is a human rights icon in china. an agitator for reform and democracy. this time around he's been under house arrest for more than 40 days. the authorities don't want hu to reach diplomats or journalists but there are other ways to talk. >> translator: they have posted state security agents outside my

door for ten years. their work toss preserve the communist party, not to preserve the safety of the people or even the government. but the party. >> reporter: human rights groups say china's government is gained in the worst crackdown on dissidents in decades. activists, professors and journalists have all been detained this year alone. hu says china's president xi jinping has declared war on human rights and he has a message for president obama. >> translator: i think mr. obama should bring up the human rights crackdown with xi jinping. if he doesn't it would be a huge loss for himself, for china, and for american values. >> reporter: the communist party says activists like hu are lawbreakers, that they threaten china's social stability. hu wants to show a present he bought for his young daughter's upcoming birthday.

>> translator: when she came to visit me in prison she used to carry a toy like this. i saw hope in this toy. it's become a symbol of my fight for her future freedom and happiness. >> reporter: he says they won't let him see her this year. but despite years of jail, house arrest and harassment, hu ja says he won't give up his fight for a different kind of china. if president obama does bring up the issue of human rights in his meeting with the chinese president it's likely it will in private. in the past when u.s. governments have brought up human rights in public it's often backfired with the chinese communist party. >> so with that in mind, how different will this trip be compared to mr. obama's first trip and last trip into china in 2009? the narrative that came out of that is that it was a with of a disaster for the u.s. president. >> reporter: they're certainly

looking to have a more successful trip this time. president obama obviously is effectively a lame duck president at this point but he does have an opportunity, say many analysts, to re-engage with china to try and mend this frosty relationship between the world's established have eed su and the world's rising super power. in these meetings they want to try to find common ground on issue like climate change, issues like combating ebola in west africa, ask potentially some kind of agreement on fighting isis and other group in the middle east. but this is a difficult relationship and china's looking to assert itself even more prominently on the world stage. >> david mckenzie reporting live from beijing. the south korean defense ministry says its soldiers fired warning shots at a north korean patrol monday morning. it happened in the western part of the demilitarized zone that divides the north from the south. a defense official from the

south says about ten north korean soldiers approached the line. soldiers from the south fired about 20 warning shots. the north koreans withdrew without returning fire. north korean state media has not commented. three days ago, kenneth bae and matthew todd miller were in north korean prisons. now the americans are home in the u.s. with their families. cnn's ana cabrera shows us the dramatic events that suddenly took them from the departmeths solitary confinement and hard labor to home. >> reporter: after months and years of detention, two americans held prisoner in north korea are back in the united states. first off the plane, kenneth bae, who had been held two years, sentenced to 15 years of hard labor for hostile acts against the government. claiming he was part of a christian plot to overthrow the regime.

>> i just want to say, thank you all for supporting me and standing by me during this time. and it's been just amazing blessing to see so many people being involved, getting me released the last two years. and not to mention, now mentioning the thousands of people who have been praying for me as well. >> reporter: then matthew todd miller stepped off. miller had been detained since april, sentenced to six years of hard labor. he had been accused of tearing up his tourist visa and seeking asylum upon entry to north korea. miller did not speak to the media after his arrival. their release comes after north korea unexpectedly reached out to the white house to send a cabinet-level official to discuss the detentions. apparently there wasn't a guarantee the americans would be brought home. they were set free after director of national intelligence james clapper went to the capital of pyongyang in a

secret mission, delivering a letter from president obama to north korean leader kim jong-un. the letter was said to be short and to the point. clapper did not meet with kim. >> it's a wonderful day for them, their families. obviously we're very grateful for their safe return and appreciate it. director clapper doing a great job on what was obviously a challenging mission. >> reporter: their release comes less than a month after north korea let go jeffrey fowle, an ohio man who spent five months in detention. now with the men who just returned there are no americans being held in north korea. >> it's been amazing two years. i learn a lot. i grew a lot. lost a lot of weight. in a good way. but i'm standing strong because of you.

music and fireworks. berlin recalled its moment of liberation a quarter of a century ago. ♪ >> it was rocking at the brandenburg gate. it became a colorful backdrop sunday night as germany celebrated the 25th anniversary of the fall of the wall and the beginning of the end of the cold war. >> the lights and music were followed by the release of thousands of illuminated balloons tracing path of the barrier that had once divided the city for 28 long years. >> 'twas the night of november 9th, 1989. you probably between where you were. when an accidental comment from an east german official prompted

thousands of east berliners to flood the checkpoints and chime the wall and take it back. back in moscow, eastern europe's top communist leader pondered the situation, then decided not to intervene. you probably know who that person was. here's jim clancy with more from berlin. >> reporter: here at the brandenburg gate, as the 25th anniversary fall of the wall celebration continues, probably the biggest standing ovation went to the former leader of the soviet union. mikhail gorbachev. this crowd roared for him when they saw his image come up on the screen. because so many people credit him with being the man responsible for allowing it to happen. standing up against the other leading communists in moscow and allowing berlin and other countries along the iron curtain to have their freedom. at the same time, mr. gorbachev, who i talked to at length, had dinner with on saturday night, made it very clear that he's concerned.

he's concerned about the situation in ukraine. concerned about nato's plans to conduct military exercises in the baltic states. he says all of that amounts to provocations by both sides. those provocations risk a new cold war. >> translator: the world is on the brink of a new cold war. some are even saying it has already begun. and yet while the situation is so dramatic, we do not see the main international body, the u.n. security council, playing any role or taking concrete action. >> reporter: one of the men who paid tribute to mikhail gorbachev here in berlin over the course of the last few days was the former hungarian prime minister, niklas nimet. he does not agree with gorbachev. he thinks both sides are still talking. >> we are not facing now a cold war 2.

we are not there. cold war has got its own logic in terms of diplomacy, conversations between the two parties, and especially in the field of military. we are still talking to putin and to the rest of the world. and i am a strong believer in dialogue, in dialogue, and finding a compromise. >> reporter: former prime minister nimet thinks it's crucial at this time for mr. poroshenko in kiev and vladamir putin in moscow to get a grip on the extremists that are in eastern ukraine that represent both of their countries. in order to do that they're going to have to become more active politically. they're going to have to play a tougher hand against those extremist elements in order to prevent the situation there from getting any worse. in his words, already 4,000 people have died. already innocent civilians

aboard a malaysia airlines jet have had their lives ruined, they have been lost. it is time for leaders, if they want to be responsible, if they want to make progress from the fall of the wall, to take action. jim clancy, cnn, berlin. the white house and european union have echoed those serious concerns. in ukraine after hearing reports of rebel reinforcements in the east, on sunday there was the most intense shelling in done donetsk. moscow insists it has not sent troops into ukraine. the fate of the leader of the self-proclaimed islamic state is unclear. coalition forces launched air strikes targeting isis leaders near mosul, iraq, over the weekend. there are unconfirmed reports

abub backer al baghdadi was wounded in the strikes. the attacks destroyed a convoy of ten armed trucks but a u.s. military spokesman says he cannot confirm whether the isis leader was in that convoy. al baghdadi was responsible for transforming an al qaeda branch into the brutally violent isis. >> there had been reports earlier al baghdadi had been killed and they were not accurate. when we come back, he's accused of a gruesome double murder in hong kong, now a court is asking if the suspect is mentally fit to make a plea. also the captain in the south korea ferry disaster may face the death penalty.

prosecutors in hong kong are asking if the man accused of murdering two young indonesian women is mentally fit to enter a plea. ru jutting was in court today but his case was adjourned until november 24. >> he was an investment banker at a career. police say the killing happened in the 29-year-old's upscale highrise apartment where the two victims were found mutilated. indonesians in hong kong spent sunday in mourning. >> reporter: jutting's second appearance in court lasted no more than five minutes. the 29-year-old british banker entered the courtroom flanked by one policeman and he looked tired as well as unshafin, in

the same clothes he wore a week ago during his first court appearance. as he took his position in the dock he let out a heavy sigh which was audible to most of the courtroom. as for the proceedings, it was the prosecution lawyer who kicked off asking for a two-week adjournment, noting that mr. jutting has not yet given consent for reconstruction to be conducted. the magistrate clarified and asked if that was pending psychiatric fitness reports. and the prosecution lawyer agreed. the defense was given a chance to respond and said they had no objection to that adjournment. but they wanted to make it very clear that mr. jutting had not given his consent for that reconstruction yet. not none at all. mr. jutting is charged with two counts of murder and as yet he has not entered a plea. these psychological evaluations will discern whether or not he's mentally fit to do so. meanwhile on sunday, a vigil was held for the two victims, two indonesian women in their 20s. this story is grabbing headlines in hong kong and abroad. this is a city not familiar with violent crime. violent crime rates are relatively low.

to south korea now. the captain and crew of the "sewol" ferry will be sentenced tomorrow for their roles in the sinking of that ship. more than 300 passengers, mostly high school students, died when the ferry capsized in april. the prosecution is going after the death penalty for the captain. but as paula hancocks reports even if that sentence is handed down it's unlikely the captain will be put to death. >> reporter: 58 people are on death row in south korea. but here the death penalty does not actually mean death. more than 900 people were executed since the freeing of the country if 1948. the last hanging was 17 years ago. this unofficial moratorium started in 1998. as a pro-democracy activist kim was himself sentenced to death in 1980. he was later pardoned after intervention from both the pope and the u.s. government. >> the death penalty in south

korea, especially during the military dictatorship before 1987, has been abused -- has been used and abused to get rid of political opponents. >> reporter: amnesty has launched many campaigns over the years calling for the death penalty to be abolished, saying it is a violation of the right to life. the justice ministry rejected our repeated requests for interview saying simply, there are no plans to review the policy. a policy in sharp focus as the captain and 14 members of the crew of the doomed ferry wait to hear their fate in court tuesday. they escaped the sinking ship on april 16th. more than 300 did not. the crew had announced they should stay where they were. many of the victims were high school students. prosecutors are demanding the death penalty for the captain. a sentence which may not mean loss of life in this country but effectively means life imprisonment without the chance of parole.

an arctic blast of weather is about too settle into every state in the united states. >> parts of south florida might get away from the extreme cold weather. but it has already started to snow in spots. >> just do not call it the polar vortex. >> yes, absolutely. >> why don't you like that? >> because it's wrong. i got in trouble two hours ago. >> why did you get in trouble? a little bit of schooling. >> he wanted to be fancy with the weather. >> so what is it, then? >> it's an arctic blast. the polar vortex spends much of its time around the pole, the doesn't leave the poles. the polar vortex is not directly involved. it really was last time either. we'll break down exactly what's going on here. >> we got it wrong all last year? >> yeah.

at least the way it was presented. you take a look. the cold air has kept coming. last week we had a blast of cold air come in, a second round this weekend. next week as we head into next week, the coldest of the air weather pattern here sets up over much of the united states, impacting well over 200 million people. the broad perspective cops down to what happened seven days ago. we had a super typhoon nuri, category 5 equivalent, it was seeing winds at one point of 180 miles per hour. about 285 kilometers per hour. sent wave heights up to 50 feet across portions of the pacific. now that it's weakened from what was a tropical feature, it's become a post-tropical storm. it is the strongest post-tropical feature ever across the north pacific. it's put disruption across the jet stream. we have the currents in the atmosphere bringing arctic air out of the poles, not associated with the vortex itself across portions of the eastern united states. the blue colors, purple colors, indicate the coldest air mass

settling in. western texas, temperatures in fahrenheit go from 80 to 40 tomorrow into tuesday. monday into tuesday, pretty impressive spell there. 27 celsius to 4 celsius in one day's time there. the pattern again keeps just about everyone on the below average trend with the exception of parts of the southwest, parts of hawaii. alaska it will be warmer in anchorage than in chicago by midweek as we head towards this air. rapid city, iowa, fahrenheit, 22 fahrenheit drops down to 12 fahrenheit. that is minus 10 celsius for a high tuesday into wednesday. notice a warming trend does return. places like chicago dropping from 60 down to 33. so once again, about 15 celsius down to zero or so celsius as we head towards the middle portion of the week. the impressive part is the amount of snow that will accumulate across the northern tier of the united states. could see as much as 40 centimeters about a foot of snow

in the forecast, which would have major travel implications as we head in toward the middle portion of the week. that's the latest in weather.

welcome back to cnn. i'm natalie allen. >> i'm john vause. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. u.s. president barack obama is in beijing, the first stop of his week-long asian trip. he's in china for the apec meeting, also expected to meet with china's president to discuss key foreign policy issues like cyber security and climate change. mr. obama then heads to myanmar and australia for the g-20 summit. also with the apec summit,

chinese president xi jinping and japanese prime minister shinzo abe held their first face-to-face talks since both leaders took office. the meeting comes amid tensions between the two countries. they've had a long-standing dispute over a chain of islands in the east china sea. a symphony of light, sound and fireworks soared above berlin's historic brandenburg gate, ending a day and night of celebration. berliners by the thousands came out for the concertificates, speeches and ceremonial remembrances as they marked the 25th anniversary of the actively berlin wall. the fate of the leader of isis remains unclear after coalition air strikes targeted a convoy near mosul. there are unconfirmed reports this man, abu bakr al baggi, was injured in the attack. there is a $10 million bounty on his head. u.s. president barack obama says the decision to send more military advisers to iraq signals a new phase in the fight

against isis. the additional 1,500 troops will help train iraqi seasons and militia fighters to battle isis on the ground. this comes after weeks of u.s. and allied air strikes. >> what we knew was that phase one was getting an iraqi government that was inclusive and credible. and we now have done that. and so now what we've done is rather than just try to halt isil's momentum, we're now in a position to start going on some offense. the air strikes have been very effective in degrading isil's capabilities and slowing the advance that they were making. now we need iraqi ground troops that can start pushing them back. >> the president stressed once again that u.s. forces will not about into combat. leaders in bahrain are urging another option to battle isis. financial experts from around

the world gather to talk about ways to cut off the terror group's funding. as we all know they have a lot of funding. now with details of their meeting and what they're trying to come up with, john? >> reporter: yes, that's indeed the challenge right now, natalie. i think this meeting is recognition that there's a different and very difficult foe in isis. this roundtable finish late into the night to tree to agree on the next steps in the financial fight against isis. they now have the so-called banama declaration, named after the capital of bahrain. as air strikes continue to rain down on isis strongholds 30 countries representing half the coleg in the fight against the group explored better ways to choke off terror financing. the struggle to date, officials admit, has been keeping pace with the organization's multi-pronged financial strategy. >> this is a much different

challenge than what we've been seeing before in the region. >> it's not a different enemy. it's the same enemy that we've seen everywhere. but they have gained more experience. >> reporter: isis quickly built out its base in eastern syria and western iraq by initially tapping wealthy regional sunni sympathizers. >> they have managed to get into new areas and new fields of taking control of territories, taking control of oil fields, establishing rackets, ransoms everywhere. >> reporter: air strikes have curbed the group's oil output, u.s. officials say it is less than a third of the level of june, when it was earning $3 million a day. this is not a new effort. legislation dates back since the 9/11 attacks. experts suggest it was pressure from the united states and the international organizations to get the middle eastern states to push ahead with laws. now they suggest there's a gap between what's been put on the books and what's actually being enforced.

u.n. security council resolutions have been expanded to force member states to step up international cooperation. >> once you have that political commitment, the second level and more important is that these institutions sometimes have lack of ability and lack of capacity, experience, expertise, cannot perform and use these tools efficiently. >> reporter: by the region's own measurement two middle east countries remain on the black list for noncooperation, iran and algeria. on the gray list, meaning improvements are needed, iraq, syria, yemen, kuwait. turkey came off the list in october and qatar in 2010. washington has not been shy naming countries. the u.s. head of the financial terrorism effort, david cohen, recently singled out qatar and kuwait for not stepping up international cooperation. a sense of urgency emerged in the language of this meeting's final declaration. but it leaves many wondering if the effort is too little, too late.

>> that's despite the fact they've been working on this campaign for the better part of ten years, ever since the 9/11 strikes. this is a very different sense that they have oil production and fund-raising. but trying to tighten that up so they can't get that money out of the region and use banks outside of iraq and syria is vital. >> hope it's not too little, too late. cutting off the money could end up being far more effective couldn't it in defeating these militants than air strikes or even military action on the ground? >> reporter: many would suggest that a combination of both is very, very important. but the challenge we face right now are the political differences that we have even in the six states of the gulf. in fact, there's a lot of finger-pointing still against qatar, suggesting they've been supporting the sunni cause. also, another delicate issue that comes up is the fund-raising. nonprofit organizations that exist in the region. how do you shut them down?

many are very sympathetic to the sawny cause. they've been operating for decades ask they want them now not to funnel any money going into the isis campaign. >> all right, john, thank you from abu dhabi. when we come back, voting was held in spain on sunday. the government says it didn't mean a thing but thousands of people cast a ballot anyway. plus american football is done at wembley for the season. so what's the future of the nfl in london?

people of catalonia in northeastern spain want independence. and the strongest show of support to date, more than 1 million of them said yes to independence sunday in a symbolic nonbinding vote. >> spain called the referendum uncutional but catalan warned against any attempt to disrupt it. live from madrid, what's the reaction there to the vote? >> reporter: if there's euphoria in parts of barcelona and the surrounding region of cat loan that, in the spanish capital of madrid there's skepticism, disdain. the spanish justice minister called this vote a farce. he said it had no democratic validity. more than 2 million people in catalonia went to vote despite two rulings by the highest court in spain that said they couldn't

do that, they couldn't vote because it wasn't legal. >> so given the fact that this vote was nonbinding will that skew the results in favor of independence? >> you were getting results, 1.6 million the latest count. most of the votes are counted. 1.6 million voting in favor of independence. about 300,000 voting against. that was close to an 80% poll in fav favor. the opinion polls said if a real vote was held that had real election officials and a real owe electoral census, unlike yesterday which had volunteers according to spanish officials, the polls are showing it was going to be a much tighter race, maybe 50/50, something close to what you saw in the recent scottish vote for independence, scots decided to stay within the united kingdom but it was a very tight vote there as well. >> government officials are dismissing all of this, but end of the day after this vote, i guess is there a hope against

catalans maybe they can get a little more autonomy to the region? >> reporter: some are hoping they can get independence. there's a very strong group of people in barcelona and political leaders who want that. here the day after, it doesn't seem like the two sides, like they're closer. the backdrop of this on the one hand is more home rule. they've already got a lot of home rule in parliament, police force, education, schools, health. but could get some more, especially on tax issues. that's an issue. another issue is will there be early elections in catalonia and possibly a victory for people even more in favor of independence? >> okay, we appreciate the live report. for the second time in as many weeks western europe set to get hammered by nasty weather. that must mean that pole har vortex.

>> it's a good time to stay in. vortex. >> it's a good time to stay in. no polar vortex? >> not for them. taking a look at what's happening for our friends across western europe, it has been active in recent days. very low-moving storm system brought in flooding rains across much of italy, much of the south of france where we had significant damage on the immediate coast around nice. these same areas going to be impacted again with another storm system coming in. if you're traveling this morning and into the afternoon hours, travel delays 15 to 30 minutes. we have areas around milan very low visibility this afternoon. going to see delays upwards of 90 minutes, forecast based on weather. lisbon 45 minutes with fog in the region. fog the typical scene across porings of the north of europe, london dealing with minimal delays as low visibility is an issue across that region. the venice flood, this is the

aqua alta, it's italian for "high water" across this ring general. the venice lagoon very prominent as you have the full moon a couple of days ago. the proper winds coming up through the lagoon and channeled into the city. 15% of venice under water on sunday afternoon. water levels reached 110 centimeters at their peak. forecasts for monday morning hours generally 100 centimeters, still high. certainly some issues are expected. here comes the weather pattern we're speaking of across this region. 85 millimeters, 3 inches of rainfall that came down about a month's worth of rainfall over the weekend. wind gusts 80 miles per hour. hurricane-force wind gusts across portions of italy as well. and tornados to go along with all this active weather. notice the pattern shifts toward portions of the south of france, northwestern portions of italy, on into southern germany where

we have rainfall totals exceeding several millimeters in these areas. upwards of 150 millimeters in the most extreme areas in this region. certainly the reason why travel delays are expected to be heavy across this region as well. i want to take you towards portions of the bay of bengal. we're watching a storm system that tried to form, didn't come much of it. this one sitting out there towards the islands across portions of the bay of bengal. low probability it will form into a cyclone. high probability if you're tuned in this is going to be an impact storm for heavy rainfall the next couple of days.

it was the third and final game of the nfl's international game in london. >> tony romo was battling back injury, but he returned to top form against the gym jaguars with three touchdown passes. dallas wins. i love doing sports. jacksonville wins over jacksonville 31-17. >> this has been the big question for years. they've been playing these games in london. >> trying to sell to it you guys. >> trying to get this to catch on. everyone keeps wondering, could there actually be enough of a fan base in london so they could

build a proper nfl team? >> yes, so cnn's alex thomas crunched the numbers for us. can they? turns out a london franchise could be closer than you think. >> i don't understand but take a look. i don't think so. >> reporter: we've heard the pros and cons of london nfl team for years. we now have an expert forecast of how a franchise would boost the local economy. a report from delight says the total direct economic impact of last year's two regular-season games at wembley was $51 million. if an entire nfl franchise with eight games was based in london, it would create $163 million. how does that compare? the report used the example of the 2010 london marathon which generated $43 million for the local economy. we went back to a separate study by mastercard which claims the 2011 uefa champions league final at we will bhee was worth $73.5 million to london.

while some said the nfl should try basing a super bowl in london before putting a team there, delight disagrees, saying the atmosphere could be hit by the lack of die-hard fans and with london ahead five hours it could be problematic. wembley stadium is a plus point. it's hosted an average of 82,000 people for the nfl games in london, almost 15,000 more than the yearly average for game in the states. over 2,500 more than the average super bowl attendance the last five years. lot report was commissioned by the nfl and london and partners, the company set up to promote the city, delight's global reputation means these figures can be trusted enough for saying the business case for putting a team in london is looking strong. >> we'll wait and see. >> wait awhile. from football to taylor swift. she is music's biggest star, trying to change the way the industry is moving. >> a short time ago i spoke with "intouch weekly's senior editor

about swift. also a hollywood actress staging her very own topless protest. kim, keira knightley baring all. and she's making a very bold statement on a number of levels. >> yeah, this is so great. keira knightley, there is a topless photo of her. she was wearing pants but topless. she's saying now the reason she did this is kind of a protest against photoshopping. she said the only reason she did this was if they did not photoshop it, if they did not make anything bigger. she didn't want enhancements. she wanted to show people, this is who she and is she wanted to make a statement about women's body images. she wanted to make a statement about photoshoping and retouching and how photography has really changed the way that we look at women's bodies. and it's really great to hear her talk about this. because look, she's beautiful, she looks great. but she's been involved in some of these incidents before. there was that movie poster for "king arthur" about ten years ago where she was digitally

enhanced and made more voluptuous. there was a push-back about that. she wanted this to be out there, no retouching. you could tell there's no retouching and it's a great message to send to women. >> absolutely. and matt damon, great actor, good news, he'll be back as jason bourne. this is interesting. he really trashed the script from the last bourne movie that he did in 2007. >> yeah, exactly. the last time he was doing a bourne movie was 2007. he's dropped hints along the way that maybe he would do another bourne movie if the director paul greengrass was involved, if they could come up with the right story. back to beijing. the president is addressing the apec business leaders. let's listen in. >> -- helped my administration with strategies for growing high-tech manufacturing to hiring more long-term unemployed. he's just as good as corporate citizenship as he is at running a corporation.

later i'll visit brisbane where i know andrew spent some of his youth. i'm sure he's got some suggestions for fun there. but not necessarily things that a president can do. so we don't know how he spent his youth but i'm sure he had some fun. it is wonderful to be back in china. i'm grateful for the chinese people's extraordinary hospitality. this is my sixth trip to asia as president. my second this year alone. that's because, as i said on each of my visits, america's a thoroughly pacific nation. we've always had a history with asia. and our future, our security, and our prosperity is inextricably and twined with asia. i know the business leaders in attendance today agree.

i've now had the privilege to attend the apec ceo summit in sing history, yokohama, and my original hometown of honolulu, now in beijing. i think it's safes to that few global forums are watched more closely by the business community. there's a good reason for that. taken together, apec economies account for about 40% of the world's population. and nearly 60% of its gdp. that means we're home to nearly 3 billion customers and three-fifths of the global economy. over the next five years, nearly half of all economic growth outside the united states is projected to come from right here in asia. that makes this region an incredible opportunity for creating jobs and economic growth in the united states. and any serious leader in america, whether in politics or in commerce, recognizes that

fact. the last time i addressed this ceo summit was three years ago. today i've come back at a moment when, around the world, the united states is leading from a position of strength we've of course seen our share of turmoil and uncertainty. but whether it's our fight to degrade and destroy the terrorist network known as it's sell or contain and combat the ebola epidemic in west africa, the one constant, the one global necessity, is and has been american leadership. and that leadership in the world is backed by the renewed strength of our economy at home. today our businesses have created 10.6 million jobs over the longest uninterrupted stretch of job growth in american history. we're on pace for the best year of job growth since the 1990s.

since we started creating jobs again the u.s. has put more people back to work than europe, japan, and every other advanced economy combined. when you factor in what's happening in our broader economy, the manufacturing sector that as andrew said is growing now at a rapid pace, graduation rates that are rising, deficits that have shrunk by two-thirds, health care inflation at new lows and energy boom at new highs, when you put this together what you get is an american economy that is primed for steadier, more sustained growth, and better poise to lead and succeed in the 21st century than just about any other nation on earth. you don't have to take our word for it. take yours. for two years in a row business executives, like all of you, have said that the world's most

attractive place to invest is the united states. we're going to go for a three-peat. we're going to try to make it the same this year. despite the responsibilities of american leadership around the world, despite our attention to getting our economy growing, there should be no doubt that the united states of america remains entirely committed when it comes to asia. america's a pacific power and we are leading to promote shared security and shared economic growth this century, just as we did in the last. in fact, one of my core messages throughout this trip from apec to the east asia summit to the g-20 in australia is that working together, we need growth that is balanced, growth that is strong, growth that is sustainable, and growth where prosperity is shared by everybody who's willing to work hard.

as president of the united states i make no apologies for doing what i can that bring new jobs and new industries to america. but i've always said, in the 21st century, the pursuit of economic growth, job creation, and trade is not a zero sum game. one country's prosperity doesn't have to come at the expense of another. if we work together and act together, strengthening economic ties between our nations will benefit all of our nations. that's true for the nations of apec. i believe it's particularly true for the relationship between the united states and china. i've had the pleasure of hosting president xi twice in the united states. the last time we met in california he pointed out that

the pacific ocean is big enough for both of our nations. and i agree. the united states welcomes the rise of a prosperous, peaceful, and stable china. i want to repeat i want to repeat that. we welcome the rise of a prosperous, peaceful and stable china. the united states has worked to help china in the global economy, not only because it is in china's best interest, but the world's best interest. we want china to do well. [ applause ]

we compete for business, but we also seek to cooperate on a broad range of shared challenges and shared opportunities. whether it's stopping the spread of ebola or preventing nuclear proliferation or deepening our clean energy partnership and combating climate change, a leadership role that as the world's two largest economies and two largest carbon emitters, we have a special responsibility to embrace. if china and the united states can work together, the world benefits. and that's something this audience is acutely interested in. [ applause ] we continually have to work to strengthen the bilateral trade and investments in our nations.
