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 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. a more. central bank. and 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 welcome to european. countries see it as
3:04 pm
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 and who is pulling all of 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 it should boost foreign investment alistair bits r.t. sells out korea next tonight is the latest twist in the summer's big spy scandal a russian newspaper says it's discovered the identity of a man who exposed eleven russian agents working in the united states the congress on daily claims it was a former foreign intelligence service employee but so far has been no official
3:05 pm
comment about that r.t.c. go to his kind of picks up the story. commuter sun newspaper claims to have held its own investigation and the see that coleman should have bought a call from an officer of the russian foreign intelligence service was a double agent it was him responsible for blowing the cover on his colleagues in the united states last summer which resulted basically in the biggest spy scandal between moscow and washington since the cold war era the newspaper says that before this scandal erupted paula should walk off was offered a promotion by russian authorities which she rejected possibly because he had to take a lie detector test which could have revealed his activities as a double agent and also reportedly so a month before the scandal should walk off daughter who left russia to the united states. and also this could put to him that she might have known that something was about to happen in june american authorities announced that they were arrested
3:06 pm
a group of people suspected of being secret or russian agents who worked in the united states undercover for years in some cases for decades and they've all been arrested or found guilty by a u.s. court of being unregistered foreign agents and deported from the united states to russia in exchange for four people who are serving time here after having been found guilty of being foreign spies back then this summer everybody was talking about it on a chopper and one of the people in that group deported from the united states a very successful young business woman everybody started calling her the russian james bond girl and she really got most of the media attention now became a sun newspaper and is now also focusing on the one of the members of that group of deported from of the united states this man has already been deemed a super agent and this is mikhail was soon cool left of the soviet union back in
3:07 pm
the nineteen sixty's first to spain and then to latin america. he became a photographer and it became known under the name of one. traveled to the united states became acquainted with lots of politicians and other officials and this man reportedly denied to being a russian agent up to the very end and it was actually. who presented to the secret materials proving. it was a russian agent and it was all me very in that he actually said it is a real mean to the investigation so some really interesting details are now emerging despite the fact that the scandal itself erupted just several months ago. coming up in a few minutes or an r.t. tonight shooting the military machine a decade of war leaving the u.s. army stretched thin no recruiters accusing the explosion of war heroes memories to find a war for the front line head also. races into the
3:08 pm
formula one world with the country's first super car maker buying a stake in a formula one t.v. . the mail bomb sent from yemen and intercepted in the u.k. in dubai last month spread panic around the world but now reports have surfaced suggesting they weren't bombs at all but simply a hoax by intelligence services to claim good from a foil the attack officials who said the packages were addressed to chicago's synagogues last hour i spoke to investigative journalist wayne madsen for his take on what's going on. well i think we have to look back at past instance for example the underwear bomber flying to detroit from amsterdam who was allowed to basically board the plane no questions asked we had the times square physical bomber where something fizzled in times square and and the guy was sitting there waiting to take off at kennedy airport and when the federal agents came in he said i've been
3:09 pm
expecting you know what took you so long i mean here's another case now we're being told that this u.p.s. cargo flight was either going to blow up over new jersey new york maybe upstate new york maybe pennsylvania and maybe canada it seems like once again we've gotten one of the stories that may have been engineered prior to the election we're always sitting here in washington waiting for october surprises before major elections and this may have been another october surprise i think the other incident interesting thing with this bomb that was supposedly found at east midlands airport prime minister david cameron was not informed for sixteen hours that this was such a major terrorist incident why did not he and the cobra team meet immediately to discuss this why did they wait sixteen hours this thing started to sound like the fake infamous shampoo bombs from flights from britain to the united states which only resulted in a lot of airport security people obtaining
3:10 pm
a lot of very expensive liquor from the duty free shops when the passengers were not allowed to board the planes with it when this all kicked all through the day i was on shift most of it was that when i was watching the other news channels. to get on to this story the old job very very quickly got a lot of coverage to it didn't say what do we know about the counter allegations these people saying that this didn't happen the decentest of the story if you like what is the prove what why did they know any more than anyone else. well i think people don't you know there's always a very quick reaction to jump on to all these terrorist related stories obviously. maybe that some governments and some intelligence agencies have cried wolf one too many times so i think when we're seeing skepticism and cynicism about these reports i think it's because they've inundated the public with so many of these false flag stories people maybe start to be getting wise to him and maybe some people in the intelligence community are starting to leak the truth to blogs
3:11 pm
and things like that but why is this story going to go just then we can hear a lot more on it. i don't think so there now in the united arab emirates is now looking at the incident with the crash of a u.p.s. plane in dubai we were first told that that was there was no terrorism involved but they're looking at that. but i think we've seen skepticism from the government of god or from yemen from the united arab emirates i think we're going to have to wait to see if there is any some real smoking gun evidence that comes out right now it's all very anecdotal and can conjecture all at this point investigative journalist way muds talking to me the. doctors treating russian journalist all the cash should have brought him out of a coma the report was savagely beaten in moscow last week because wife says he's still a long way from making a full recovery dozens of cash and supporters have been gathering in central moscow . reports. protesters have been gathering throughout russia's
