countries he had even america's allies are highlighting grave flaws friends in ireland demand obama follow through on the promise to close gitmo britain belgium and dozens of others calling on the u.s. to abolish the death penalty for many it's the ultimate hypocrisy how a state with roughly three thousand people on death row lectures the world about humanity the more like a case in point mumia abu jamal viewed as america's very own political prisoner the united states the perpetrator of gross human rights violations is using human rights as a political football against its enemies and its enemies are enemies not because they violate human rights necessarily but because the us wants to change the government in their country the country often accusing adversaries like syria iran and north korea of oppressing citizens is now faced with defending domestic practices like indefinite detention poor prison conditions and racial profiling don't stand idly by don't be silent when dissidents elsewhere on. in prison america

dismissed several other recommendations leaving many to ask if u.s. exceptionalism means do as i say not as i do during a fortnight artsy. is a call for north korea to return to international talks over its nuclear activities as soon as possible that comes from russia and south korea from where president would vote of all that simmering tensions in the region could boil over he was speaking of talks ahead of the g twenty summit and so on he said this is no reason for. everyone understands how important peace on the peninsula is not just for the sake of peace but for the economy and for stability in both russia and south korea understand that this is a big issue for all we hear so much about iran and president medvedev himself brought up the fact that iran has never declared itself as a nuclear state while north korea very much have so it is a concern for russia once again president medvedev reiterated that moscow is alarmed over north korea's nuclear ambitions but believes the only way to go about

solving them is through negotiations and. that requires our special attention is the situation in the pacific region and on the korean peninsula we have discussed the issue of denuclearization and have highlighted the importance of six party talks we want to resume as soon as possible in the asia pacific region the wrist serious potential for conflict and there's no alternative who want to set up a dialogue and improve understanding between the sides. and we ourselves had a chance to go to the border with north korea it's only some sixty kilometers from the center of seoul of course with the twenty most powerful leaders in the region over the next couple of days this is a lot something we're going to hear a lot about at the g. twenty president mentioned that he is very impressed with the way south korea has developed they've had a huge amount of success with innovation and modernization and they did it is looking to south korea to prove to be an example for russia. to diversify the

economic cooperation between russia and south korea what do we need to do to achieve we need to make it more we are modernizing russia creating a new economy in our career friends have brilliant experience in this as well as in the commercialization of scientific discovery i'm very happy to have signed a memorandum on rhaetian in high technology us president would have also had an open discussion with a member from civil society is there they talked a lot about boosting trade between the two countries of course south korea and russia do have strong trade ties but it's nothing compared to the u.s. and china when you look at the present certainly pushing to put a lot of effort into deepening ties especially when it comes to trade and the economy on a lighter note one of the members of the civil societies did bring up south korean food in that led to a lot of talk about russian vodka and president medvedev pointed out that this is a great chance and a great reason to build the cooperation between the two countries on the lowest

levels at a civil level so people in korea understand that it's not just that russians during . parties in a snow reporting there for us. to take center stage tomorrow in south korea when the g twenty summit kicks off a major issue due to be at the center of debate in seoul is a battle over currencies president obama is expected to face tough questions over the u.s. decision to pump six hundred billion freshly printed dollars into its economy it's an attempt to revive the country's finances but will devalue the dollar leaving your. honesty of louis told us the policy is aimed at boosting public opinion of the home but pays little attention to the needs of the rest of the world. the u.s. will be on the defensive this g. twenty meeting it will have very few friends willing to support the position that it's taken on its own domestic policies but i would not expect the u.s. to change its policy in response to these international pressures be calls mr

bernanke you federal reserve mr geithner treasury secretary see themselves as making policy only for the benefit of the us economy and not for the world as a whole policymakers in the u.s. there are a lot of pressure from the u.s. population to do something to alleviate the rising unemployment and the troubles in the housing sector and so there's going to be a tendency for policymakers to take the line of least resistance by forming policies which are really tailored for u.s. requirements to pay little attention to what the rest of the world needs. on the way in just a few minutes here at r.t. tonight policing the police in russia is officers mark day dedicated to their profession a major revamp is under way we look at what the men and women in uniform could do to try to regain the trust of those of they vowed to protect. britain's been seeing

its biggest protest yet against the deep cuts the country faces to tackle its bassy of debt spends of thousands of students poured out onto the streets against a planned hike in jewish and fees which could see them travel to nine thousand pounds a year artie's london correspondent laura emmett has more. one started off as a peaceful and jovial demonstration today has now turned into what's going on behind me behind me is the headquarters of the conservative party and demonstrators have gathered outside that shouting slogans burning that banners in the middle of the courtyard there is a large fire that they've made that burning exult throwing sticks is it blocks police presence inside the courtyard as well and they've managed to break one of the windows of the building of the smoking demonstration we'll say managed to make their way up on to the ring from where they are waving banners at the police to all involved police in riot gear have been told and to twenty twenty five police right

there are also trying to steal the situation out i've been approached by a couple of people as a news crew who've said to me that they want to make it clear this is just a small group of demonstrators who are causing this trouble and the majority of this demonstration is still a peaceful one and this is the biggest demonstration that london has seen against austerity measures of course we've seen demonstrations all labor europe students and trade unions a large there are around twenty five thousand people who are from the streets we think will they obviously it's impossible to get make that number but they're processing an increase in fees for university tuition of around three thousand pounds travelling to around nine thousand pounds and that is jesus happened in two thousand and twelve if no one does anything about it i suspect is in the students about why they turned out today here's what they had to say i'm ashamed to show and i think it's not right but it's true. right. here you know the government claims this is necessary to know their home whatever

we know for a fact there are many other ways you can help me this is a lot i shouldn't even be seen in financial terms of we need to think about what education is actually for and who it's forecast for the water was massively. to buy . our business. the first on record that we've seen in london but that has been out there on rats throughout europe and the backdrop of this is that extraordinarily david cameron the prime minister has to create an increase in the amounts of money that britain gets to the european union every year an increase of about seven hundred million dollars it's also been suggested that by any pain you need to negotiate said he said that there are hidden costs involved in that as well and that the rise in november sixteenth with the european union essentially going to see seven hundred million will be upwards of one billion dollars now this is really the first on rest that we've seen in london but some people are expecting more i think that makes about job losses and steve talk. about his laura reporting for us

there james prior's chief executives the e.u. referendum campaign he told me the pulling out of the blog will say britain a lot of much needed cash. we're sending forty eight million pounds a day forty eight million pounds a day to the e.u. i mean that's a huge amount of money i mean our cases are going if we pull out or least have a referendum and saying i'm pulling out would be say when that's all the money we can you know we can look at all sorts of other. savings and all these vicious cuts that you know that cameron and clegg are bringing in the e.u. which talked there you know this is an organization that hasn't had these accounts altered for fourteen years i think if i'm right from saying they've just rejected the latest round of. accounts i mean you know this is you know this is an unelected group of people you know it's all down to interpretation i mean they're saying anything i think cameron's been completely mis advise on this and i think he's also

missed the mood of the people i mean the people are really now showing you know that you know we can't stand that it's all down to interpretation of one hundred twenty billion we send over them we get money back and yes that of course we do get to break it down to terms that we can all understand it's the equivalent of us sending them two pounds sixty and they give us a pound back that doesn't make sense to me. james prior. wednesday marks russia's police officers professional holiday but looming layoffs and reforms are leaving little room for celebration for them a string of high profile scandals have seen public trust in the force plummet prompting the government should but while many agree that an overhaul is overdue not everyone is convinced it's set to work to push go over explains more. their pictures which shocked and asian and left the image of russia's law enforcers in tatters it's now over a year since this drunken shooting spree by police officer. killed two and wounded seven others but the case remains one of the most alarming in

seventy s. policemen were motivated by reasons not to be totally on appreciated today we work to solve crimes for the excitement of the job and for justice to prevail. in response to the scandals president dmitry medvedev ordered a multi-billion dollar reform of the interior ministry last december the new measures set out to make clear the rights of the police and those they detain one of the main talking points however became the new name for the force leaving behind the old militia and going back to the internationally more accepted police many said crossed remain the biggest concern and worried about the costs of the name change for the life of me i don't understand why we need to spend so much money what will they be changing the lettering on the car. it's no use changing the name first they need to take a look at all those villas in the moscow region she which police officers of houses
