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 and this set up the sole summit but despite global outrage with u.s. fiscal policy they got more of a high level silent treatment than any kind of fight right now it's the world against the united states and in terms of an agreement to deal with the currency war nuns going to happen there is no interest coming from china or germany the two other key players to solve this problem not interested or protecting interest. and that was before the session even started obama might have guessed there would be no compromising china wasn't budging and germany and export giant defense its right not to surrender its strength by spending more abroad to appease u.s. calls to help economic recovery much of your. rob seems to be sitting back and

watching how this will all play out i think they are trying to be defensive and that that's a weak position right now russia sees itself as a mediator and hopes multi-currency reserves over place currency wars should. i believe that the threat of a currency war breaking out will significantly decrease following today's summit we have reasons to be more optimistic about the future the group of twenty did agree to develop early warning indicators to prevent economic turmoil and gradually move on currency the question now is not enough to prevent this cas class from getting out of control but isn't this in our their world the us wanted to use the g twenty to push china further but i do explain actions instead that's what leading global currency analysts. told us. the u.s. was really looking for the g. twenty to be a forum to continue to pressure china and to have you know more unified front

against china and asian currencies current account surplus countries. from from the rest of the world and what it actually ended up turning into was that the u.s. had to go in there. the tables were turned that the u.s. actually had to explain its own behavior to a whole host of countries and the chinese i think were pretty adept at turning this around and there were a lot of other countries who didn't mind actually turning the tables a little bit on the u.s. and saying ok well why don't you guys explain what you're doing with the fed before and you're kind of see before you start kind of throwing stones at us. next to russia newspapers revealed the ten russian agents expelled by the u.s. this summer were betrayed by their own boss president medvedev says the revelations are no surprise and that he was aware of the event so long as r.t.c. got piskun off explained the journalist behind the story said the media hype also drew attention away from the real tops by the summer spy story between the u.s.

scandal it was june when american authorities announced the captured ten people suspected of being russian secret agents all were found guilty by a u.s. court and deported in exchange for four men serving time in russia themselves convicted of being foreign spies it was never going to stay out of the news for a long the story instantly made headlines and especially since the russian president's first official trip to the u.s. had just come to an end it's thought colonel to back off russia to the united states just a few days before the meeting in aid of the visit and according to some reports a few months before that he was offered a promotion at work which could have seen him subjected to a lie detector test and that some believe is why he rejected the job offer instead he turned the other week away turning in his associates the media quickly found its favorite among the group of deported agents young rich and beautiful on a chapman was deemed the russian james bond girl but did see flashes draw focus

away from the real super agent in the group me coalition corps was still in the shadows just as he had been for the past four decades. that. this is an amazing story it doesn't only have a trainer but a true hero as well who to absolute opposites i'm talking about with some coffee and his fantastic story. he left the soviet union in the one nine hundred sixty s. first to spin then to south america working as a photographer he eventually married and moved to the us changing his name to one it said he continues we denied being a russian agent until colonel presented secret documents that he then revealed his true identity but intelligence experts seen naming and shaming russian operatives was probably not the prime target. as that. was probably a u.s. agent for a long time him self and i'm sure this whole story was instigated by the american secret service the two presidents are working to restart relations and some people

5:08 pm
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 make it much more harder to solve the conflict bring more hate to the conflict and they have huge he kidnapped human right which is why from the beginning of the year the israeli ministry of interior started with drawings with permits from international n.g.o.s oxfam save the children and medicine some pontiff have all been affected everybody who voices a pro study and view everybody who supports justice propels the ends and palestinian refugee is is an enemy of israel and says pro quo a terrorist i simply don't buy i don't think there's evidence that someone in tears

leaders and officials say it's deeply wrong and must be stopped. of reports. it is the a moment of families torn apart. in which here remains a ritual rather than an outrage the man simply chooses the woman he wants and forcibly takes her but the kidnapping of one young girl called a man went terribly wrong magazine for an issue when shocking back. loans we had it good outside and saw her being kidnapped yes she was shouting we saw it all. the good lebron his accomplice grabbed him on jumped into a car and sped away but a short way down the road they crashed into a big truck. a young girl. when they were driving here they crashed in the old. mill so there was an awful tragedy the car was just a piece of metal you couldn't tell what card was. some so you could lend brights
