12:00 am
between china and the united states threatening global trade growth the two countries accusing each other of manipulating currency rates to make exports cheaper and build up foreign exchange reserves and it is in the south korean capital with more details on the gathering place here wow this so the leaders are willing to get some currency debates only one of the main problems they've got to deal with. but as you say the so-called currency borne the related if you are going to trade imbalances has really dominated discussions here at the g. twenty in seoul in the run up to this summit americans that the choice put to the group think she nicky's needs to get some one on which to these experts that person is competitive in the process that's debate has also been enjoying by all of that david cameron in the united kingdom on these. trades at the u.s. as will say tend to think it's also countries like china producing like germany and
12:01 am
then see what next time that depends on exports and spend more money to increase that trade so this is not of course intended to kill said current next if american trade deficits however that suggestion has affected one no but death is the goal so cool so much crisis. critics pointing to the federal reserve bank you see this is a chore leaving them to want to go out and then of course the special announcement last week since i said that it would involve the second round of these things sixty billion u.s. dollars pumped into the economy that's print shop christmas i'm not saying that for many who do say for big major economies like a chimney but everyone is hearing to present moment suggesting that it's good for american economy is good well it's. obvious how is the word. the summit
12:02 am
progressing besides all that what all the issues are on the table. but we are expecting the spinal communique at the end to say to know what's reach a resolution on the c.c. with currency valuation and trade enough despite some of that saying that it was such a resolution. however we will find. mention in this him said a balance st rose thing she does and that's a major topic of discussion here to think i'm going to be nice and tell me it's time to pull in also mention a tightening banking regulation of big financial structures and i'm back on the old bank. bolstering old foreign direct meant and a commitment to free trade and all i think she can have some will been overshadowing some of this ongoing currency banks. and i
12:03 am
think that's because we're not as habits reporting from say. now jerrold so then today from the trend their search group says the financial crisis of two thousand and ten is just around the corner brought on by washington's efforts. look what the united states is doing we said all the people were talking about the elections the midterm elections november second we said no no watch what happens. and we'll see what the federal reserve does and what they're doing is they're devaluing the dollar as everyone knows they're driving commodity prices through the roof because most of them are based on dollars go back to november second gold was trading at one thousand three hundred fifty four dollars an ounce today one thousand four hundred eight
12:04 am
dollars an ounce everybody should prepare we've been saying this since the beginning of the year watch for the crash of. the crash is happening in not in slow motion in a high speed in front of everyone. and you can go back now to us have gotten so much more on this for us on this. but it's very much can remove joining me now is premature interest capital markets research the g. twenty research history more of the issues that have been on the take that the g twenty summit many thanks for joining us here thank you for having me. this international spot so you have a currency that should name you one of the dillema does that mean that he made the headway on that he's here at the summit i think what you're going to see actually is you're not going to see a lot of headway unfortunately through october this this issue really a rose to a feverish pitch you had brazil coming in. and basically talking more about the
12:05 am
capital inflows that it and other emerging markets have have had to deal with and having their own currencies inflate i think you know no country wants to have. to be told what to do so i think as as long as there is a lot of pressure on china i think that china is going to stay exactly where it is they made a move a bold move by chinese standards before the toronto summit in letting you know having somewhat flexible exchange rate i think with the u.s. . with quantitative easing everybody feels that the u.s. is playing a currency manipulation but the fact of the matter is is that the u.s. doesn't have a lot of options left on the table telling us not religious it is you have to trade imbalance to the u.s. again disappointed that is why she didn't see any firm plymouths its own big it's been too slow like she leaned on the jim sciutto so. i think it is a little bit disappointing this was something that was mentioned at the toronto
12:06 am
summit where everybody agreed that you know people everybody had to work together the surplus nations you know not only for the ones that had deficits but for the other exporting nations so that they would be allowed to compete as well and let their economies a girl a little bit so i think it will be a little bit disappointing i think you're. and i see some guidelines come out of the summit which is something that before wasn't even on the table so although particular and specific language is not something that we're going to see no commitment to firm numbers i think that with guidelines it's a good first start. really do you think is the fee at the moment of this school countries trying to start looking after the rain as you like and even to increase protectionism something that has been the ones against very streaky by david cameron and i believe. i think it's a very real possibility i think countries are starting to feel like they're getting backed up against the wall there's a lot of rhetoric out there about i see wars and manipulation and so then countries
12:07 am
start to look at what they can control and that's their exports and their imports more importantly so i think that you are going to see unfortunately you have seen over the last couple of years even though everybody committed to stay away from protectionism you have seen a lot of different protectionist measures come into place so this is this is something that is potentially a very real worry ok the deployment many banks facing so many thanks for joining us today on ice having me that's it for now do you join us for more those we continue to call the progress here g. twenty summit in still. size but from the g twenty i thank you for that. well russia's finance minister thinks he could do it in the has warned that if some countries keep trying to obtain competitive advantages to keeping their currencies no use could lead to surge of protectionism what's wrong with interviewing twenty minutes but here's a preview for you. i think this problem may get
12:08 am
worse if some countries will strengthen for example the ruble by weakening their own currencies and trying to gain competitive advantage of course it can force other countries to use different defense measures tariffs or import restrictions so we need to find a common path without mis balancing the interests of different countries. and working with palestinians are supposed to provide vital help to the people but israel says they're only provoking trouble as a result the israeli interior ministry has been withdrawing work permits for aid workers critics say anyone who sympathizes with palestinians is being branded a terrorist. they're the visitors israel doesn't want activists from around the world who come here to photograph and protest palestinian suffering will most of the n.g.o.s only bring more fuel to the conflict
12:09 am
make it much more harder to solve the conflict bring more hate to the conflict and they have he kidnapped the terrorists human right which is why from the beginning of the year the israeli ministry of interior started with doing work permits from international n.g.o.s oxfam save the children and medicine some pontiff have all been affected everybody who voices a pro palestinian view anybody who supports justice propels them the ends and palestinian refugees is an enemy of israel and says pro quo a terrorist i simply don't buy it and i don't think there's evidence of it someone in tears say they have no choice but to do they work illegally emily's origins are palestinian but she can't live here because she can't get a visa for a while she managed to evade the israeli authorities by leaving and returning every
12:10 am
three months and lying to them that she lived in jerusalem but they eventually cautioned on and have given her one month to get out the more visas you have in your passport the harder it gets. getting from initially it was more being overwhelmed than any understanding you know which borders to you is how do you know how to talk to the soldiers what to say what not to say n.g.o.s monitor is an israeli organization that tracks non-governmental organizations working in the area it starts one speak on camera but they haven't shied away from writing on the net. this website accuses several charities working in the west bank and gaza of having links to terrorist organizations here it says that the palestinian children's welfare fund owns a hate filled with site dedicated to the glorification of jihad and the denunciation of israel there has been no evidence whatsoever no cases that anyone's heard of a people in n.g.o.s committing any kind of violent palestinian groups terms on
12:11 am
stones and grenades i'm on idea of soldiers and was helping them you see a blonde girl from switzerland who i don't know were eighty mormeck spin in gaza for six months and plans to stay six more he's a volunteer with the international solidarity movement which israel claims has terrorist links they therefore want to cross into the west bank he's a human rights groups that are credible throughout the world and yet they are being stopped from entering many times in the un report richard falk was stopped from entering so this stretches up to the united nations for many n.g.o.s the challenge remains how to draw attention to the work they do without getting kicked out of the country many israelis continue to question the work they doing in the first place. r.t. israel. still to come for this hour including. it's dangerous and it's expensive so why do many georgians still continue to choose

a cigarette over bread that's coming up later. claims that last month's yemen bomb scare was all part of a publicist a stunt by american intelligence and security services to sway public opinion before the midterm elections explosives were said to have been found inside toner cartages on two cargo planes heading to the u.s. but now some reports suggest there weren't in fact any bombs on board at all with a journalist that's as generous and us are accustomed to stories like this popping . if it is going to the polls. well i think we have to look back at past that 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 fizzle bomber or something fizzled in times square and the 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 expecting you what took you so long i mean here's another case now
12:13 am
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 these 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 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's any some real smoking gun evidence that comes out right now it's all very anecdotal and conjecture all at this point. to some of the international news in brief for you. need is a band-aid a month that's cool stalemate by supporting the reappointment. as prime minister but a sunni backed coalition that by his main rival walked out of the session and that

smoking never interfered with her day to day activities and she doesn't intend to give up any time soon. i have a my salary goes on cigarettes but i don't want to quit it's the only pleasure in my life i can afford. a study conducted by the tobacco control alliance showed that almost forty percent of all georgians including children and the elderly are smokers and tobacco n.g.o.s say the number of youngsters taking up smoking has more than doubled over the past five years every pack of cigarettes sold in georgia there is the clear message smoking is bad for you for good which are aging so long cancer to heart disease the warnings are all there yet many georgians continue to light up even if they do have to choose between buying food or about the smokes. is one of those who would like to quit but says he simply can't he gets through four packs a day despite having undergone
