it has been the first day so here the twenty one members of the cooperation have come together to discuss of course very similarly recently twenty in seoul south korea the global economy and how the countries can cooperate to get out of the slump the countries find themselves in especially after the global financial crisis so all the table here is. open trade and investment between countries of course when you talk about free trade you're talking about lowering of barriers you're talking about a lot of pros and cons a lot of give and take between the countries the policy makers have come here to discuss those between between the countries and to make sure there's a lot more cooperation between the region let's just remember that. more than half of the world during the financial crisis of the first ones to get out of it or at least not be hit as hard as the western countries have been are the countries from

this region so they play a very very big. economic landscape aside from those main agenda on the table are the meetings on the sidelines you have leaders of the countries meeting having . talks earlier today and we had. together russian president. and japanese prime minister all. together of course to discuss economic issues as well as situation. started between moscow and tokyo when the president of russia visited the kuril islands. and this has raised concerns in tokyo to this is something that the president talking about has also decided to move forward and talking about economic cooperation they know that they want to move forward economically because it will be for the benefit of both countries earlier we've also seen. pand and the united states and us prime minister

have president obama meeting as they were discussing the there is we need their alliance or fifty euro law and the two countries basically strengthen their allies to get this because of a rising a china concerns over rising china and north korea so the two have talked about their alliance not just economically but also strategically politically well most of it is also doing as prime minister you know it's a con once again expressed regret over president. can assure islands president reaffirms our vision of the situation the president decides him selfe region to visit this is own surgery and things will stay this way the president all foods to change their approach to the issue of the peace treaty and superiority is the economy instead the broader the economic corporation the more solid the foundation of our relations to be treated very if invited the japanese prime minister to visit

russia moscow or any other region including the far east the proposal has been accepted now tomorrow russian president dmitry medvedev will be meeting with u.s. president barack obama so that's something to look forward to to see what they are they are going to be talking about and we'll also have the results of what concrete actions what concrete measures the countries have who are participating have a calm to agree upon. still reporting right there now it's just twenty five minutes past the hour here in moscow and there are still plenty more to come here for you. socialist ideas are seeing a revival across the world defining the. economic downturn. well after this summer's sweltering heat wave temperatures in russia are breaking records again several regions including the capital are experiencing extremely warm weather and hurdle with this time of year. finds out what the experts have to say

about. usually with pulling out our winter coats right now but something is definitely our raw in the weather department in fact it's not just most poor muscovites have been enjoying several very very warm days no need for coat sore heads but if we were to go down to the south of russia in fact we could enjoy swimming and sunbathing to the fullest degree it's that hot out there and of course this is not something that russians are historically used to if we were to go back to let's say nine hundred forty one during the world war two period fuel was freezing in tanks of course people were people were need deep in snow blizzards basically the usual winter things that were happening in the vendor and we don't have to go that far in time as a matter of fact just let's say ten years ago same story again snow would be out here people could ice skate on the moscow river you could not do that right now maybe swimming its course if you like that kind of cold. water right now but

obviously something is going on and winter is in no hurry to arrive in fact in some places in the western part of russia trees are starting to bloom again and they can grow the grass is still green and bears are not hibernating roaming around looking for food to eat birds are not flying south so something is going on something that people are not used to and that definitely winter is in no hurry to arrive at this moment actually the experts are sort of separated into three groups one of them is saying that of course the manmade pollution is to blame we don't have to go back far to remember the british petroleum disaster and the next it will gulf of course that has affected the loop current in the gulf and that is one of the intrinsic parts of the gulf stream and if that is affected of course obviously temperatures at not just northern america but in europe are going to be affected as well and as

a matter of fact something is going on. in the world in fact everything that's been happening for the last year year and a half as far as weather is concerned actually looks more like something out of a hollywood blockbuster be a puck about the apocalypse rather than something that we're usually used to for example snow in australia and in south america you don't get to hear much about that at least you didn't until about this year you were suffering from severe flooding at this past spring and of course like you mentioned earlier it's sweltering heat in moscow people dying from overheating fires raging all of that because of the weather of course other scientists are saying that it's all because of the sun so the sun flares are to blame and yet of course there's a third group of scientists were saying this has been going on for millions of years and we should just relax and enjoy the world weather while we can. report in that well let's assess this unusual weather situation in closer detail and speak to the chief executive board the world wildlife fund in russia egotists dean who is

now waiting for us here in moscow hello to you so many russian regions have had the hottest summer on record and now an unusually warm autumn what do you think is behind this give us your information. brawlers sir clearly in the normal where there weren't as much or all of this classify it in there the number of normal weather events in russia has doubled between ninety nine to two thousand and five according to the official statistics that also happens all over the world and that is basically their direct consequence of the global climate change which is caused by the greenhouse gas emissions so this is this relation is actually confirmed so the way we actually observe the climate change is not that much through warming as such but much more through their frequency and severe of us normal weather events like we have now like we've heard in summer in the central european russia like also people kind of south america this summer all these are of normal weather

events. caused by this balance in the global climate system are so you're saying that it's manmade carbon dioxide emissions are really are affecting the global temperatures at the moment but if indeed human activity continues as it's going at present will we see further wilmington had or could they just be a new ice age entirely what are the prospects. of the warming we do see warming especially pronounced near the poles. for example the woman is twice as much observed as it is in the rest of the world also in the antarctic it's much more pronounced but what we will see more are more hurricanes are more floods more droughts more snow in the places where people didn't get used to snow and more where there are people so much milder weather so their. frequency. of normal climate events like we have now will simply are. in there that's their most severe consequences for the economist as well as for

their social systems much more severe than the consequences of rising temperatures such as you're saying an increase in certain aspects of severe weather but let's talk about the more severe weather that have natural disasters we've seen quakes recently we've seen the volcanic eruption in indonesia do you think that we'll see an increasing number of natural disasters in the future do you believe this. i'm not talking about the earthquakes because that's not the manmade of course as well as the. eruption so there are several candidates that. there is no reason why we should think they're there the frequency of such types of disasters will increase what i'm talking about is the reason different quincey of the weather of normal weather events which may cause as many deaths there are natural disasters like eruptions or earthquakes which you mentioned are now let's let's put on one string here because there are sudden expats who are experts who have connected the recent

natural disasters such as. well there are natural disasters the b.p. oil spill and same with that effect in the gulf of mexico in the gulf stream but the b.p. effect is now affecting whether what you say about that it seems like they're perhaps clutching at straws here. well those are there of course there are accidents in the catastrophic which happened there's a pretty is a very severe environmental disaster but it has nothing to do with their climate change so far and the reason the scientist said it it's not that they said it's actually leaked they said it may be linked and the reason for that is that if you were spiel say billions of barrels of oil. there would actually in fact they were peroration of the weather or the water that would cause it drop in the central european part of russia but that amount of for oil was not there. it was not that much on the surface it was mostly in the deep so the.

gulf stream ever peroration parts and it was not a factor so there is no link between what we see now and their accident in the gulf of mexico and you go to just in the head of the world wildlife fund in russia live for us in moscow thank you. thank you. well you can always find more stories on our website that's. a quick preview of what's waiting for you online right now. find out why supposed to be the happiest day of the. bride and groom turned to tragedy. of course you can also.

today. these are the. economic. equality for all one small gaining ground the age old debate between socialism capitalism is coming to the fore again. reports reports the left seems to be winning the argument at present. mr gorbachev tear down this wall i these images have come to symbolize the end of the cold war. the scenes of the berlin wall falling were beamed across the world as the

historic moment when the west beat the soviet union and capitalisms formula defeated project communism. years later the cameras show the other angle the economic collapse brought by capitalism victory the us mark said as world freedom day with the us government means when they say they celebrated our freedom day with the fall of the berlin wall what they really need is the freedom of us corporations to be able to plunder exploit and really do what they please within the borders that they weren't able to and this should be easy to. say. right now to say. is that something they said saddam would cling to power and now that the status he was hanging on to berlin seems to my all the words are what you're seeing here images of american soldiers and iraqis declaring virtual victory over the statue of saddam hussein beamed to viewers worldwide. it was staged as

a spontaneous outpouring of iraqis and speired by the american soldiers who came to liberate them that was leaked found out soon afterward to organized by the u.s. army so the symbols are really hatched by messengers coming out often of the pentagon and the white house and the state department and these symbols some insist are used to indicate that washington's agenda is the only agenda and those are these the symbols of victory for the us government so all over the world that if you oppose united the you are targeted from destruction and you will inevitably get stories. socialism despite being declared dead. has seen a revival in governments in countries all over the world. really united states talked about the overthrow of the soviet union and the coming down of the berlin wall at the end of socialism it's absolutely not true a system of capitalism is in the k.

at this point there are pieces of the berlin wall all over the world what came following the historic moment was this bali hood era of freedom now marked by economic collapse and list war two decades after the fall of the berlin wall some argue the u.s. empire is also when plotting its influence waning in the face of rising world powers several of them with distinct socialist leanings jan hospice r t washington d.c. . it's not only developing countries that socialist policies are getting vocal vice presidential candidate in two thousand and eight u.s. election eugene puryear explains why he feels america also needs socialism. well we believe that in a world and particularly in a country where there's so much wealth and it's primarily appropriated by a small few people to the detriment of millions and millions hundreds of millions of people the vast majority of people who are either at abject poverty or at least don't see the full rewards of their labor that socialism the system in which the

needs of people can be met by production and in fact the production of society in the way society or going to those organized is one hundred percent directed towards the broad needs of the people which are not better now whether it's health care whether it's education access to jobs and so on this is why we believe socialism is the answer to the current economic woes that exist under the capitalist system that are particularly pronounced now during this economic crisis. coming to you live from the russian capital let's go to some other international news in brief now and the u.n. has made an appeal for over one hundred sixty million dollars to fight the cholera outbreak in haiti which has now claimed seven hundred twenty four lives aid agencies are battling to contain the epidemic amid fears it will spread even further this after the water supply was contaminated following last month's hurricane millions are now said to be at risk more than eleven thousand cases have been confirmed since the outbreak began last month. at least seven people have been

charged in connection with international organ trafficking in kosovo the group is thought to have lured twenty foreign nationals into the region and removed their organs for transplant making false promises of payment of former senior health official was among those charged the trafficking allegedly took place through a clinic in the capital to people who've been listed as wanted by interpol. reports coming in that me and pro-democracy leader aung sun suu kyi has been released from house arrest she's been in detention for fifteen of the last twenty one years something this drawn international condemnation the nobel peace prize laureate had said she would not accept the release if conditions were imposed which would exclude her from politics unsung suchi has become a symbol of the struggle to rid the country of decades of military rule. of violence continues to rage in afghanistan at least ten civilians have been killed

in the east of the country after a suicide car bomb attack at a crowded market earlier major nato base outside the capital kabul was also targeted by militants eight of the attackers were killed before they managed to enter the site amid the rising tide of unrest the u.s. now is prolonging it stay there for another four years but as artie's military contributor explains washington strategy to increase its military presence in the region oddly comes as no surprise. it was a bad idea from the outset to set up an artificial deadline for the u.s. forces withdraw from afghanistan so it didn't come as a surprise when recently of their washington trio the u.s. state department chief the pentagon chief and the u.s. joint chiefs of staff and now the deadline will be postponed for another four years it has been long suspected but now it's official. but the credit for the extension of the u.s. forces was drawl to general petraeus and the u.s.

commander in afghanistan the whole idea of the artificial deadline for the u.s. cut both ways on the other side it was a good idea to provide the sense of urgency for the aboriginal leadership to clean up their act together and to take full responsibility for the future of the country starting from providing the security all across afghanistan but since there is no leadership you know again it stands regarding the afghan government which is completely paralyzed by the corruption and incompetence while soaked in drug trafficking business no doubt it was a smashing tactical success for general petraeus. to call the u.s. . offensive in afghanistan as. initiated. well coming up next hour here on this week's moscow out explores that the jewish

community in russia now discovers its russian flavor. but so has everything regarding jewish culture from the. old this is a yarmulke skullcaps there are also a wide range of english and russian speaking books and even. games take a look at this with the. children. or even surprises. them fit both pretty and. while after a short break shot it's here with the business now. hungry for the full story we've gone to. the biggest issues get

a human voice face to face with the news makers. in some petersburg ots available in hotels a story of a little ambassador in a sense politico tell the truth teller so tell the true story hotel. never tell center. dostoevsky. see if this is your business. but i welcome to the business program here in r.t. with me was folly russian prime minister vladimir putin is meeting his bold garion counterparts. in sofia topping the agenda is energy cooperation and primarily the

construction of the south stream gas pipeline intended to pump russian gas to europe under the black sea and agreement to allow the creation of a joint stock company to oversee the production of the ball guerin section by the end of the year and examine the nazir of senior analysts and metropol i.f.c. gave ati his fees in the event. well gary is the key contrarian for it deciding which pipeline will be at all and probably which pipeline will be the forst one in the book solve stream. it's pretty important conference for both of these pipelines for the book is essential basically for all of this meeting will finally decide the question which pipeline will be through the bulgarian territory south stream or in the book of pipeline although everybody is talking about gas pipelines so stream an oil pipeline from it will go right to greece i think the most important things are . the discussions of the gas price. gazprom should give it five to seven percent

discount for gas for bulgaria for next two or three years to japan now with several world leaders including russia's president medvedev a meeting for the asia pacific economic cooperation summit the business summit has already brought some deals among them the signing of a contract between russia japan and china to construct a fertilizer plant in russia. the first major facility in the region for the last twenty years and one of the world's largest if this type of project is worth one a billion dollars will involve china's national chemical and operation mitsubishi heavy industries gyp's russia's state owned a money the apec summit is seen as another attempt to settle global financial issues by pushing for free trade after the g. twenty failed to agree on how to boost the world's economy. clearly there is a very ambitious agenda for trade liberalisation and the region and i think one of the important issues will be the degree to which countries follow and deliver on

the commitments that they have with respect to this liberalization. another issue i think will be the issue of investments in the region and the possibility to again facilitate the flow of investment across countries that will be important i think and rebalancing the world economy as well because really we're talking about the most important region probably in terms of growth for the world economy. time now to see how long it's a performing here most capable so you've been in both fooling around three quarters of a percent for the main players are in the red energy majors which are the biggest drag on the markets as neural snicker shows more than one percent on the r.t.s. the russian insurance market will reach pre-crisis levels within moments so far this year the market is growing by twenty four percent the drive for the growth is the cossacks growing consumer confidence but in a question about reports. young charny and his company answered the russian

insurance market only two years ago from the start of the financial downturn two years on some saturation of the economy have almost recovery to pre-crisis levels and among them the insurance market we have followed this guy and on the russian market. with what's going on on the other market and based on that though we are strong if you got it in. russia in terms of market especially in the sector or from what insurance indeed this year the domestic insurance market will grow by twenty four percent x. three see the market will reach the pre-crisis levels of two thousand and eight within months one key driver is the nasty car production forecast to reach one point seven million next year and now the growth sector is buildings insurance and september president meet the needs these of called form and battery find surance after the summer's devastating wildfires however this will take much longer than the government wants according to one of the country's leading insurers the general

director of ngo struck says negotiations alone will take two years if you just see what we see now are only talks on how to implement mandatory fire insurance in the country if we talk about insuring apartments it mostly means insuring liability but if you talk about countryside houses in this deals more with property insurance the state hasn't made its decision yet i think talks will go on further least two years it's clear that number us alone won't drive the recovery consumer confidence is crucial as the industry is to meet its potential my dinner which no business r.t. . and finally good news if you work at google the internet giant says it will give its top management a thirty percent pay rise next year this comes after google announced it will give all its employees a temp a cent increase to stop them defecting to facebook the landmark case one employee has been given three point. five million dollars in stocks to remain with the

search company c.e.o. eric schmidt and co-founder sergey brin and larry page who combined only behalf of google stock will continue to accept a salary of just warm u.s. dollar. and that's so for me my colleague criminal khalil be head next hour to take you through the business for the rest of the day for now though stay with aleksey for headline news coming up next. for you. are comfortable. to do so. just a few hours earlier. and scary to skirt.
