yet even the bombers reiterated plans to slash their country's nuclear arsenals and then hans will security at the upcoming nato summit auntie's correspondent tess australia is in japan for us. there at the apec summit actually the talks between the russian president dmitry medvedev and a u.s. president barack obama happened on the sidelines it was the first talk of the a second day of the summit and yes at the top of the agenda on the table is the ratification of the new start treaty now a president obama had a reiterated his commitment to the russian president that he is going to make sure that the treaty gets done at the lame duck session of the u.s. congress and he also said that he had communicated to the u.s. politicians that this is of the utmost of priority i reiterated my commitment to go start tweeting. during the lame duck session. or already this is one of the main topics of the put on the table another is the missile

defense system for the two presidents brought this up today but they said that they will hammer out the details of the nato summit upcoming nato summit next week in lisbon we believe that russia nature of relations have improved it's beneficial for . right now we're working on a number of issues including the so-called european anti missile shield we've exchanged ideas as to what could be done here and will discuss this at the summit apart from that we've been working together in a productive way and will continue to do so this being the apec summit trade and economy is a very important topic at the year two presidents discuss the ascension of russia to the world trade organization the bit of russia to join the w t o no president obama has said that russia has the full support of the u.s. and he said actually said the russia belongs that w. he spoke with the russian side they said that they expected this to happen at the earliest this spring two thousand and eleven. recently we've made serious progress

in terms of russia's decision to the this is an achievement by the american president and his team who lived up to the agreements reached during my visit to washington i hope this process will continue and brush it will soon access the. the apec nations did agree that if we're trading less barriers fewer barriers it would be beneficial to the countries so one thing that is a difference here compared to the g twenty is that they had agreed that they will not impose extra trade barriers from now on until twenty thirty eight at least until your country start recovering again and they also said that they will they promise that they will not impose measures to help to help exports and that of course is related to currency because countries are trying to lower their currency to have an advantage in terms of exports so overall the leaders of the country seem to be quite positive about the outcome of

a pact but again we have yet to see whether they will implement the things that they had said well don't ratifying the starts treaty would send the wrong signal to the world opinion of america's chief negotiator for the first start treaty signed in ninety ninety one u.s. russian arms control is a critical part or critical component of dissuading other members of the international community to not go nuclear and if we can't get a modest arms control agreement ratified. aren't we giving talking points to augmentin a shot in tehran what impact are we having on on pakistan on on india and on other would be nuclear powers in the in the greater middle east it has to be viewed as a as a massive setback in what i consider to be the kind of fundamental security problem of our of our other of our day which is the spread of nuclear weapons to fragile

week and sometimes rogue states and potentially on to terrorists and finally i'll just simply say this i don't think frankly that the reset policy can survive the non ratification of start if we can't ratify this treaty we are going to send a signal of come on i believe of almost total incompetence to the rest of the international community whether this week's g. twenty summit the world's richest nations agreed to stand clear of currency wars to help revive the global economy nations pledge to avoid the devaluation as a means of boosting exports and she which has seen tensions flare between the u.s. and china but analysts say the agreements won't binding and the solution is near as in the sonali reports from seoul. the world after war the weapon

currency. the fallout trade imbalance the world's paying i mean the world is paying the price for the asset bubbles that are being blown throughout the emerging markets and this high stakes battle for global exchanges it's china versus the u.s. on the western front the fed pumping six hundred billion bucks into the american economy the valuing the dollar while slamming china for not readily revaluing its you want on the eastern front the chinese position is well you're depreciating the dollar why should we really value the removal of the chinese currency which the us keeps on insisting on so it really is standoff one that smacks of double standards 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 nun's 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 an export giant defends its right not to surrender its strength by spending more abroad to appease u.s. calls to help economic recovery much of europe seems to be sitting back and watching how this will all play out no one is willing to budge on the fundamentals not china not germany not the united states most certainly the group also agreed to develop early warning indicators to prevent economic turmoil but the question now. is that enough to prevent this caste class from getting out of control and he's

there now r t from seoul south korea. or the us had wanted to use the g twenty to pressure china but how to explain its own actions instead that's what leading global currency on this irani told r.t. the us 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 us had to go in there. the tables were turned that the us actually had to explain its own behavior to a whole host of countries in the chinese i think we're 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 us and saying ok well why don't you guys explain what you're doing with with the fed before your country before you start kind of throwing

stones at us. coming up in around ten minutes here a nazi setting an example. this is america and everybody always looked up to us. and it's not america's destiny to the call to the rest of the world then this is the resident gathers opinion on the streets of new york. also a cry for freedom with a shock value an artist straps himself an electric chair and if strange is the right to decide his fate. well despite years of officials in the whole concert has finally taken action over claims of organ trafficking at least seven people have been charged with doing foreign nationals to the region and removing their organs for transplant on suspects is linked to the cost of the liberation army which was accused of selling the organs of captured serbs during the yugoslav more . it was a war with a legacy of atrocities among the more shocking claims the alleged murders and

and russia just a few months after dropping out of headlines around the world the biggest spy scandal between moscow and washington since the cold war iraq is back in the drama of this whole situation is that the agents were turned in by their boss. he's been named as colonel suitable cool for allegedly headed the american department of russia's foreign intelligence service neither his first name or photographs have been found to journalists from the moscow based committed news people who've held their own investigation claim he is behind blowing his colleagues cover in the united states. everyone we spoke to agreed that this was the biggest failure in the history of the foreign intelligence service some of the agents worked undercover for decades in all were given away just like all sell. their findings have been confirmed by the president on friday dmitry medvedev said he knew who the traitor was from the thursday of the 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 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 i mean that if the visit and according to some reports are 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 the paparazzi flashes draw focus away from the. we'll super agent in the group mikail was in court was still

in the shadows just as he had been for the past four decades. that is true this is an amazing story it doesn't only have a trainer but a true hero as well as the two 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 spain and then just 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 colonels are well presented secret documents that he then revealed his true identity but intelligence experts say naming and shaming russian operatives was probably not the prime target. because was probably a us agent for a long time himself 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

are obviously against thought the timing of the scandal was picked perfectly it puts another name in the frame for the russian intelligence service that's still trying to establish how a massive decades long secret operation could fall port so easily seemingly at the hands of one man you've got this going off r.t. moscow. this week the u.k. saw a massive protest over part of the plans to tackle its massive debt tens of thousands of students marched in london against a planned hike into mission fees coalition governments would raise the cost of education reform protesters burn banners but when there's a hold objects at least fifty people were arrested harsh budget cuts inside a haven't increased the money paid union next year david campbell donovan is a petition member and told r.t. why he thinks increasing the budget is pointless. we've only been clear really in the last week of what's happening which ration fees is

a huge to change and of course the lib dems the liberal democrats who are part of the coalition government promise to get rid of true ition fees altogether so they've been caught lying affectively and that's traded a lot of anger but there's no excuse for this kind of violence on the streets of london when you look at where the money's going i mean the m.e.p. expenses account has gone up by eighty five percent that's for entertainment you're getting film prizes there's money going on the hunting as states and private golf clubs you know it's a huge waste of money there's no excuse for any increase in e.u. budget in fact it should be coutts we think we can as boasted about this two point nine nine percent increases being great cut relative to six percent that's what the european parliament here wanted a six percent increase which is outrageous really but to be honest this is not true it hasn't actually been agreed it's no it's called is only by the actual chief

negotiator here the every pin that goes here to involve the parliament has called this two point nine percent claim as being dishonest and the president of european union says it's an opinion not a decision so i mean to be honest we don't know where we are the budget could be far more than two point nine percent it could go up towards six percent in theory so we're. we are left in limbo here but there's no excuse for this kind of increase . in the middle east is a region divided by conflicts but not only between israelis and palestinians christians living in the west bank saying they're being targeted because of them and they just use. paulus they are reports of violent attacks against them on the rise things that david ortiz lives dangerously a christian pastor among religious jews in the west bank city of ariel he's received death threats for trying to convert jews and muslims to his faith my first time going into a muslim village. i got beat up we were giving our bibles someone hated ortiz

enough to drop off a package at his house thinking it had a candy inside his fifteen year old son opened it the pipe bomb nearly killed him and they blew him through the kitchen and made a hole in the choice most of the thrusts were in this way but the backfire the story the refrigerant everything back it took three years for israeli police to catch the perpetrator a religious jew jack title who lived in a nearby israeli settlement he'd already killed two arabs and he says he's very proud. and. he begun a favor by trying to cut off. across the west bank the story for palestinian christians is as bleak and the threat comes from both extremists jews and muslims bethlehem the believed birthplace of christ once boasted a population of eighty five percent christian today less than ten percent live here

this woman is afraid to show her face she used to go to manchester square and teach about jesus but all that ended after her house was nearly burned down i didn't feel like i've been known to this case and the more i feel like i'm strange given the opportunity she says she wouldn't think twice about leaving the explosion of muslims. you know you feel you feel controlling everywhere every thing my granddaughter have to memorize. but tuss abu sada ignores the threats he's one of a growing number of muslims whose converted to christianity in recent years when i was a fighter with arafat i hated christians just as much as i hated jews i was going on around your and looking for their homes and through anger and to their homes or putting out their cars because i believed christians are spies. but christianity can search alongside islam and judaism here these two palestinian brothers have no

problem reconciling the christian faith with living in a jewish state they volunteered to join the country's army saying they feel as israeli as the jewish and arab counterparts. i'll give everything i have for this army because in the end this is my country but it's not without its problems. each time i go home in uniform someone will call it me traitor things like that it doesn't influence me. but in recent months attacks against christians in christian science have increased at the beginning of november this hundred year old church was burned by right wing israelis who broke some of the windows and threw molotov cocktails inside it's no wonder that christians here are feeling under fire through our team jerusalem. now for many the us has laid a path which it expects everyone else to follow however with newly emerging powers

on the world scene that may no longer be the case so if it's not america's destiny to lead the world to a better future then whose is it well we often asked also known as the residents went to find out on the streets of new york. is the united states still leading the world this week let's talk about that i don't think so right now things going on a lot of issues going on and living in europe for a little while and things seem to be going pretty good over there right now do you think it matters who is the leader in the world. of me personally no you have to look at china. and. taiwan you know you look at any of the asian countries india look at their economies are booming i mean it's and here we are in a stagnant economy that we are hard to take the jobs for americans so there is a downward trend going on in america some by looking out for the world the chinese

says or india. or do you think the united states is doing a good job for looking out for everyone well. i sometimes think we get involved things we should be involved. we're in trouble i think we've all german from other countries were open comment and. we need to do the same we need to we need to rethink what we're doing is that a good thing or a bad thing. it's a bad thing for the americans and the british and the europeans it's a good thing for everybody else we're still doing good but maybe not as good. but we're still a leader and i think so why does it matter. well this is america and everybody always looked up to us so it's a matter of pride do you think think some might think so we've gone such a. far far way from where we used to be in terms of at least economically that. i think will find our way but right now anyone who has

a better idea should step up. whether or not you believe the u.s. is still leading the world the bottom line is we'll only know the true answer in hindsight and in many. decades to come. no gone and kill a russian artist has invited internet users to vote on his fate in his latest project or yangon never matty who is wanted for inciting religious hatred has put himself just a click away from and execution he says the experiment is meant to highlight freedom of expression and his article discovered it's not the artist's first eccentric stunt might find some images in this report disturbing. this happens every time one hundred people on the internet. receive a massive electric job anyone can vote he'll do this every night for

a week or until he's hospitalized i think. this is a test of how society interprets freedom do they want to use it to save or to kill me this is a lot about our society my remark he says his electric shock treatment is symbolic of what he calls the oppression of artists specifically says ship of op vocal religious minorities. ten years ago he shot the radical film in which he was authentic we crucified. i'm not the son of god so the inscription on his back. a prominent orthodox christian youth organization in russia sued him for inciting religious hatred and knew there was no position the people had the right to be protected from having their beliefs insulted the man deserves punishment all they feel for him no biggie he's crazy. at the moment about how much he did not wait for the court decision and fled he's now living in exile in bulgaria nor does touch of

a circle return i paid a high price i am separated from my homeland but if i had gone to prison i would have paid an even higher price tools people have tried to destroy me just maybe. we have laws to protect religious on the one hand and laws that protect individual's right to freedom of expression he was caught between the two but the link was accused of committing hate crimes that i think is wrong with you. since it's crucifixion performance dozens of other artists have been fined and have their shows close most after mass destruction by christian groups matter and that he says he has no fear of death and thousands of responses for him no one should be driven to suicide by religious fanatics says well why are you giving people on the internet the power to decide your life and theirs for its ability for your death so as another it would be fun to see someone die suggest someone else

a legacy fighting what seems to be a worthy aim now he didn't get injured today but if anything happens to him over the next week everybody involved in this story will be a loser here or there are no artsy severe garia. that would headlines in just a few minutes like this. this
