currency it wants the one to be bolstered the united states is going to try and saying we want you to commit economic suicide just like japan did we want you to follow the same thing we want you to revalue your currency we want you to squeeze your companies we want you to go bankrupt or you can imagine what the chinese are laughing thinking here are you guys. countries don't work like that and yet washington stands accused of allowing its own dollar to windle walling emerging markets his own currencies are rising strongly and damaging their export competitiveness can plagues intensified after the third reserve announced a second print run of six hundred billion dollars the quantitative easing designed to get cash flowing but with other economies warry will float their market russia's president medvedev wants the summits to agree that when countries like the u.s. take big steps to save themselves. goals that they consider the ripples it causes

and get permission from the g. twenty first the russian position is that we need more coordinated approach we don't want surprises from partners. we want. more. central banks. and this can lead to great some stability in the markets among other leading critics of germany the world's fourth largest economy its finance minister calling the us helpless i don't think the u.s. is making its case any stronger through the measures that is taking through printing dollars to weaken its own currency because that looks far too much like a competitive devaluation one hundred european countries see it as a dangerous move because what it could do is increase the capital control around the world the western european economy could suffer very severely if we move

towards protectionism to something against which mrs merkel warmed at the weekend but that's not what barack obama wants to hear the president's call for germany along with china and japan to rely last old bed dominant export markets and spend more at home it's appalling what death is the truth is that no one is happy with today's international monetary system especially the dominance of the dollar as a reserve currency and america's management of it even the head of the world bank suggesting a move for money to metal and letting gold become the currency alcoa once again and what business leaders want the g twenty to realize is that nations will have to fight their natural urge to try and protect their own country's trade it should boost foreign investment so it has set the stage now it's time for the key players to live up to their part i listed it r.t. seoul south korea. economist. of the new school university of new york told me he

believes it's wrong for the u.s. to inflict its economic disasters on other countries and it's absolutely true that the united states of late has made don't mess to clean self-serving policy that was shortsighted and that did not consider the rest of the world even though it's a well known fact that if the united states undertakes actions like quantitative easing that decrease the value of the dollar this can have negative and severe rounds occasions in terms of global money supply and the value of other currencies and it could look reasonably in some cases like the united states is trying to get out of its economic trouble by exporting that trouble to someone else in the depths of the sort of disaster of two thousand and eight in early two thousand and nine we did see a coming together with russian and brazilian and german and japanese and american and french leaders and british leaders coming together and trying to do things carefully so that each country could push its own situation up without hurting anyone else as soon as we began to see a recovery very different recovery in different places lagging in the united states
4:05 pm
we began to see this sort of every man for himself scenario and what these g. twenty meetings do is provide an opportunity for us to all get back on the same page or if they don't go well and it looks like they're not a real highlighting of just how different uncoordinated the policy is with the united states going its own way and setting a potentially dangerous example for other nations around the world to follow in the coming weeks and months. staying with sole of those call for north korea to return to international talks over its nuclear activities as soon as possible it comes from russia and south korea from where president medvedev wanted simmering tensions in the region could boil over if he were speaking of talks with the south korean counterpart ahead of the g twenty summit but it said pyongyang's atomic program is a challenge to international nonproliferation plans he stressed that the problem can only be solved through peaceful diplomacy the russian and south korean leaders also pledged energy and trade deals as well as agreeing to help each other's. station projects. all the way in just a few minutes on r.t.
