those are ruling the world's major economies are confronted with preventing over currents of the financial nightmare of two thousand and eight and russian president dmitri medvedev there is among them he addressed the business forum and met with his chinese counterpart oxys and he said now reports on what else was on the schedule for thursday. shared recovery beyond the crisis is the main theme that of course means money the summit kicked off with a business forum and there president medvedev urged the g. twenty to create a favorable environment for medium and small business does he really believes that that will get global recovery going for the first day is very much set up for bilateral meetings president medvedev met with british prime minister david cameron there the dialogue very positive both saying they see eye to eye on many of the top priorities of the g twenty and of course the top priority is the economy which you can't talk about these days without china are going to hear a lot of dialogue on the u.s. fiscal policy policy which right now the world is not very happy with what the u.s.

just pumps six hundred billion dollars into its economy essentially devaluing the dollar while at the same time pushing pretty intensely on china to revalue its currency it's pushing on germany to lower its exports to spend more to help global recovery so there is an air of hypocrisy and leaders around the world are seeing this protesters are seeing this artie's alice hibbert takes a closer look at this high stakes battle for the world's currencies they'll be plenty of soul searching at this g. twenty for the south korean capital it on the lines its economic kidding but there are may just spots around as country circle the wagons while others try to cool the shelves then that is the problem to the north this year's g. twenty is being billed as the financial coming out of the end of to south korea proof of just how far the country's come in the nearly sixty years since the end of

the korean war once poorer than it's an old and communist neighbor and now the thirteenth largest economy in the world north korea may just slide some full kilometers north of this freedom bridge and demilitarized zone but economically the to paul's. the threat from the democratic people's republic leaves particularly large and solace in taking any chances with security forces on high alert but it's another conflict on the g twenty leaders minds the outbreak of the so-called currency war the us lead the charge accusing china of cheating world trade by also officially giving its currency it wants the one to be. 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 their currency we want you to squeeze your companies we want you to go bankrupt well you can imagine what the chinese are saying they're laughing they're thinking you know are you guys and yet

washington stands accused of allowing its own dollar to twin walling a merge in markets whose own currencies are rising strongly and damaging their export competitiveness can plagues intensified after the federal 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 flop their markets russia's president medvedev wants the summit to agree that when countries like the u.s. take big steps to save themselves that they consider the ripples it causes to 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 intensive. and central banks. and this can be 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 we can. sleep because that looks far too much like a competitive devaluations one hundred european countries see it as a dangerous move because what it could do is increase the capital control around the world but that's not what barack obama wants to hear the president's call for germany along with china and japan to rely last fall bad dominant export markets and spend more to spalling 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 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 countries trade and should boost foreign investment unless events are t. cells south korea well it's sort of gabriel off russian political journalist and a news anchor at the t.v. channel rossiya told r.t. that china and russia try to protect their trade from the u.s. dollar fluctuations. we've seen something very dangerous in the global economy and that is the financial sector dominating over industries basically what we see now is americans pumping these dollars to the financial sector once again ignoring the industries of the american position is totally explicable i can't really argue with the americans the more so that's what all the fans of the of the states given the framework of the national financial system i would emphasize the initiative at least the idea which is being discussed between russia and china and that is to switching to you on rubles in the bilateral trade now the chinese russian buy a little trade is not as huge as the u.s.

chinese so that this will not will not kill the u.s. dollar that is to say we do have alternative options to switch into the national currencies will that resolve all of our problems it will not and that's the whole purpose of g twenty is actually meet and discuss things and they sincerely hope that they will be not to get another set of slogans following these summits but a deeper mutual understanding understanding sort of gabriel off the russian political journalist well on the way for you in the program here on r.t. left right. thousands of young americans march after fight in afghanistan some veterans say youngsters are being lured into work coming travel by their own government and there's always the option of desire. for the russian newspaper says it has revealed the identity of the man behind exposing eleven russian agents in the u.s. this summer come a stand claims he was

think if i'm right from saying they've just rejected the latest round of. you know accounts i mean you know this is that 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 misread rise in this and i think he's also missed the mood of the people i mean the people are really now showing you know that we know we can't stand that he's kept all down to interpretation is one hundred twenty billion we send over them we get money back and yes actually of course we do get to break it down to ten that we can all understand it's the equivalent of sending them two pounds sixty and they give us a pound back that doesn't make sense to me. that was james prior and to your talking about the student protests in london where it did get violent and the students didn't fire projectiles at the police there now let's get to some other news making headlines around the world this hour. and the u.n. says israel's easing of the economic blockade in gaza has had little effect on

experienced and i'm one of them he keeps moving forward as a college student and activist trying to create change. because he can't turn back time i came to that conclusion that personal conclusion that we were actually not just we hadn't just made a mistake but we were and continue to be in violation of the law to wage the war in iraq that i said it is imperative that i not go though mathis took the military head on resistance even if more quiet is becoming more common since two thousand and four the number of soldiers who have gone a while in the u.s. army has gone up two hundred thirty four percent according to an army report i would say it's in extensively linked to the wars in iraq and afghanistan to repeat deployments to even abuse within the military realities perhaps not told to young people when they enlist they use a lot of different underhanded tactics to recruit youth into the military here you can see some of those after we are ready and be

a baptismal behind me the west point military academy drill team is performing because it's military appreciation night sponsored by the u.s. army and it's also student rewards night where students as young as grade school have been given free tickets to the game. so it's also a recruiting opportunity is what we like to call this kind of community relations if. it is to compete with putting events as well as outside a souped up humvee welcomes kids from this poor new york suburb. off their bus the pretty awful hopelessness virtual reality and video games market flying drones going into battle and firing weapons you know they don't have. you know feeling suicidal again today a video game inside g.i. johnny draws a crowd and future soldier trainer game as it's called i'm a future soldier draws

based supercar make up as brought out virgin racing's british f one team it's to be rebranded as moto virgin racing oxys top bottom reports. let's start with the man behind the company or one of the co-owners of the company nicholai from menko a huge figure within russian racing a distinguished russian race driver and also the host of the russian version of the television motor show top gear this company the russie of which here is a clone or. a super car maker it's revealed already some very high performance cars and next year iran's waiting with bated breath because it does announce that early next year it will unveil its first f one car already under stock under construction in the u.k. so there is the company itself it has a factory in moscow it wants to build more factories in europe the company itself

wants to build commercial cars as well as super cars but now it has moved further into that glamorous sports of their war by buying a large stake in the virgin racing team in britain which makes it box office formula one teams of its cars are going to be on the track sooner rather than later on there we'll see how they do there they start to fly it seems to be well and truly waved in russia over the past few days has been little bits of news coming out about formula one the biggest of them i suppose in terms of russia in the formula one scene in the world is the deal struck with formula one after decades of waiting for russia to host formula one races in the southern resort of sochi after that city hosts the winter olympics in two thousand and fourteen the deal currently two thousand and fourteen to two thousand and twenty the money going into that with the construction of the track and all the races could amount up to three hundred

million dollars also glad to hear putin has been leaving the starting line and just in the last few days he hopped into work a rare no that one car in the went up to two hundred forty kilometers an hour on roads near learning grow. in the leningrad region near st petersburg russia seemed to really taken this bull by the horns with this one being the third most popular sport in the world now after football world cups. and the olympics it seems that it really wants to try and get itself into top gear to try and get that interest whipped up. why don't you talk about reporting that while charlotte is here now with the latest from the world of bruises on my head bowed to it and charlotte told me developments in the shareholder dispute of no rules mikel tell me more about las according to reports russian billionaire owner gary pascoe's we're all in the group of investors looking to buy out interoffice twenty five percent stake in the mining giant nickel more later in the program first to the g.

twenty summit and russian president dmitry medvedev has called for better access to domestic and foreign capital to small and medium sized businesses to spur global economic growth speak of the g twenty business for when south korea invaded said banks may need to further encourage men to work more actively with us i mean. the group of twenty policy makers to remove barriers to long term investment in developed countries to help emerging economies counter capital inflows according to motivate is a creditable coverage the proposal we just sent the money flooding into the emerging markets by creating an incoming flow of capital for industrialized nations and staying with g twenty earlier i spoke to chris we thought chief strategist or will say of who explained that russia would probably push for more access to foreign markets. you know this is a key issue for russia this is were certainly been a real bug bear over the last several years russia has accused the west of the like of deliberately blocking investment from russian companies into western europe in

particular of course we have this big route two thousand and five when russia tried to buy investment in airbus d.s. industries last year of course russia tried to buy general motors opel you know and the reason is because russia wants to establish these relationships with established foreign companies so that it can bring back that expertise to russian industries and the like that cooperation. arrangement then helping the russian companies to modernize become more efficient to make up if you like the lack of international experience in russian companies so it's a key part of russia's development and a key policy or sort of answer so now we've heard from countries like brazil china complaining about the u.s. federal reserve's decision to pump action of the six hundred billions worth of money into the economy we have already had many complaints from russia why is that world because initially russia could actually benefit from that emulates in a different situation to the other say so-called bric countries russia has not had

a substantial amount of capital inflows in the last couple of years in fact quite the opposite flows in the last two years total almost two hundred billion so it actually could do it reversing some of the having taken some money back also the ruble is the cheaper end of the band concert with sustained some appreciation again which would benefit the investment case and then frankly you know q e which is having the effect of weekend in dollar and of course to counterbalance of that is weaker dollar means higher oil prices higher metal prices which russia's boosts russia's trade position as well as its fiscal position so at least initially russia is one of the beneficiaries of capital flows that may change of course they are a year from now the priority i think is to get money. now the former head of the u.s. federal reserve alan greenspan has also weighed in against the policy of weakening the dollar and driving up exchange rates in the rest of the world. the u.s. central bank accounts that china is also pushing down the yuan to boost exports its

currency walls could spark global trade protectionism and provoke a crisis much sharper than the one from which the world economy is only just recovery. time see how the markets are performing out here moscow bosses are mixed with the my sex slipping into the red this rank and rolls that are among the biggest losers helping lend support is new and cynical which is pretty no more than one percent of the us and european stocks are making modest gains of the last is the financial sector offsetting earnings announcements from the alliance of siemens and bt group in london bt shares where its report will be sent off to the telecoms from increased its full cost. to russia now and billionaire owner jerry pascoe's rossella a group of investors looking to buy out into ross's twenty five percent stake in the nickel this is according to the news agency also owns a twenty five percent stake in the nickel producer is currently in talks investors
