to slash the country's nuclear arsenals and then hans will security at the upcoming nato summit auntie's correspondent tessa australia is in japan for us. here at the apec summit that will be the talks between the russian president dmitry medvedev and the 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 on the table is the ratification of the new start treaty now a president obama had to reiterate 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 priority i reiterated my commitment to get this start tweeting. during the lame duck session. or already this would reduce the nuclear long range missiles of the two countries by thirty percent it would allow the two countries to track on the stockpiles of each other

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 is that we believe that russia nature of relations have improved its beneficial side right now we're working on a number of issues including the so cool 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 and the 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 do this is an achievement by the american president and his team. who lived up to this reached during my visit to washington i hope this process will continue and brush it will soon access the. main topic of today said ten to fifteen presidents and positively the positive results i thought of the start treaty ratification so it is very important that this is making headway making progress and the commitment is coming from the u.s. president on this matter well not ratifying the start treaty would send the wrong signal to the world that's the opinion of america's chief negotiator for the first start treaty signed in one thousand nine hundred. 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 are we giving talking points to

augment in a shot in tehran what impact are we having. on pakistan. 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 day which is the spread of nuclear weapons to fragile we 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 i believe of almost total incompetence to the rest of the

international community. well the top priority for the pacific rim leaders of the apec summit in japan was free trade in the final declaration the countries agreed not to introduce trade by this for three years it is all twenty one economies also pledge to avoid protectionism which crept in the following the recent financial crisis some countries had to put aside differences and carissa the banks and spoken about during this week's g. twenty summit in seoul their participants agreed to avoid hitting the british valuation as a means of least in exports but analysts say the g twenty agreements when binding and a solution is known as and they saw no way explains. the world after the war the weapon current see. 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 if you want on the eastern front the chinese position is well you're depreciating the dollar and largely do we really value. the chinese currency which the us is doing on so it's really a standoff one that smacks of double standards it's absolutely true that the united states of late has made don't mess to clean 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 in. did 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 cast class from getting out of control and he's now a r t from seoul south korea well us had wanted to use the g twenty to pressure china but how to explain its actions instead that's what's leading the global currency on this around me 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 u.s. had to go in there and 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 us and saying ok well why don't you guys explain what you're doing with with the fed before and your country before you start kind of throwing stones at us. and coming up in around ten minutes here on r.t. setting an example. this is america and everybody always looked up to us and if it's not america's destiny to the past to the rest of the world uses it the

do what in the cockpit we'll take you there. well this week a russian newspaper put a new twist on the summer spy scandal between moscow and washington according to the paper ten people accused of being illegal russian agents were exposed by their own boss who is now reportedly on the f.b.i. protection. that the journalists who came out with a sensational trial. the summer spy story between the u.s. and russia just a few months after dropping out of headlines around the world the biggest spies daniel between moscow and washington since the cold war iraq is back but 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 photograph have been found to journalists from the moscow based committed news people who have held their own investigation claiming he is behind the loan his colleagues cover in the united states. everyone we spoke to agreed that this was the biggest failure in the history of a foreign intelligence service some of the agents worked undercover for decades and all were given away just like wholesale. their findings have been confirmed by the president on friday dmitry medvedev said he knew who the traitor was from the thursday of the scandals it was june when american authorities announced the captured ten people suspected of being russian secret agents or 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 especially since the russian president's first official trip to the us 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 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 vet some believe is why he rejected the job offer instead he turned the other way by 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 real super agent in the group me collision course was still in the shadows just as he had been for the past four decades but that's what is true this is an amazing story it doesn't only have a trainer but a true hero as well so 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 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 kernels or work of 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 us 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 are obviously against the timing of the scandal was picked perfectly it puts another name in the frame for the russian intelligence service that 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 to moscow. this week the u.k. so 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 intuition fits the coalition governments move would raise the cost of education three fold test has been that is broke windows and hold objects at least more than fifty people were arrested the harsh but it cuts coincided. crease the money placed in opinion next year david campbell bannerman who's a professional and told us what he thinks of chris in the. us. we've only been clear really in the last week what's happening which ration phase is a huge to change and of course the lib dems there will democrats who are part of the coalition government promised to get rid of jewish in-phase altogether so they've been caught lying effect of it and that's crazy

a lot of anger but there's no excuse for this kind of violence or this. rates 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 reason e.u. budget in fact it should be out we think we can and has posted about this two point nine nine percent increase it's been 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 these only by the actual chief negotiator here the every peace negotiator about after the fall of the has called this three 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 siri so we really are left in limbo here but there's no excuse for this kind of increase. the vietnam war may have claimed many innocent lives at the time but even today continues to inflict suffering but the main culprits is agent orange a code name for one of the hurdles sized used by the u.s. military as part of its warfare program its deadly legacy still leaves children born with dreadful genetic conditions and disabilities and they find some images of his reports disturbing. vietnam may be one of the only five socialist states in the world but its economic progress is notable business is booming hirees offices sprout up everywhere and the people have opportunities to improve their lives but that wasn't a vietnamese struggle and not french or reasons. that saying all is fair in love and war has been used to justify many military decisions but when during the vietnam war the united states began deploying chemical weapons they claim agent

orange over this country not many could have predicted that those from the most will be the soldiers on the battlefields but their children most of whom were even born at the time. who to whom is thirty four years old he would never guess by looking at or born blind and with many severe physical difficulties her parents feed and bathe her to this day her life was taken away from her before she was even born. my daughter was born blind and we didn't know why until would soakers of the hospital. and the doctors did some blots that's when they said she was affected by agent orange for a decade american jets dispersed eighty million liters of the then brand new herbicide over the territory of vietnam operation ranch ranch did not win the war but did achieve its goal of destroying millions of hectors of agricultural fields

and expose nearly five million people to its deadly poison half a million children in vietnam were born with severe physical and mental disability all because of agent orange. no u.s. government nor the chemical companies that made the herbicide have paid a single cent in compensation to those whose lives were destroyed by their work their only relief has come from the vietnamese government and various international organizations like the red cross who have set up so-called peace villages their affected children get their chance to live a life with as much normality as their conditions allow problems who can treat kids and then detain them at the same time we only get fifty cents per child from the government but we need more of course to help the children in the home they study in a school on site play with friends living in the village and get medical and physical treatment from the doctors but not many of them will ever grow to be fully independent and self-sufficient adults and that is the harshest of all their

burdens. even if the united states paid some compensation for what they did no money can give my daughter her life back nothing can pay for this pain. gas rumors are r.t.d. vietnam. the us has laid upon earth which it expects everyone else to follow however with newly emerging powers on the world scene. in the case so it's not america's destiny to be the world to a better future than who's is it oftenest as a resident went to gauge opinion 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's the leader in the world. of me personally no you have to look at china. and. taiwan you know you can 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 and we are hard to take the jobs for americans so there is a downward trend going on in america some by looking after the world not the chinese. india. did 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 in. we're in trouble i mean 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 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 so i think so we've got such a such a far far away 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 stop. 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. log on and kill a russian artist has invited internet users to vote on his fate and his latest project on the head of a matty he's wanted for inciting religious hatred has put himself just

a click away from an execution he says the experiment is meant to highlight freedom of expression and. discovered it's not first eccentrics don't. this happens every time one hundred people on the internet. to receive a massive electric job anyone can vote he'll do this every night for a week or until he is hospitalized. 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 shabaab vocal religious minority. ten years ago he shot the radical film in which he was authentic the crucified. i'm not the son of god so the inscription on his back.

a prominent orthodox christian he thought that i was asian and russia sued him for inciting religious hatred i knew there was there was a she should there people had the right to be protected from having their beliefs insulted the man deserves punishment it was all a feel for him no biggie he's crazy. now i'm out he did not wait for the court decision and fled he's now living in exile and bulgaria known just touched our circle until i paid a high price i am separated from my homeland but if i'd gone to prison i would have paid an even higher price those people have tried to destroy me just. we have laws that protect religious on the one hand and laws that protect individual's right to freedom of expression he was caught between the two bills we could tell it was accused of committing hate crimes that they think is wrong with you. since it's crucifixion performance dozens of other artists have been fined and

have their shows closed most after mass destruction by christian groups my remark he says he has no fear of death and thousands of responses for him because no one should be driven to suicide by religious fanatics says one 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 legace 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 sofia bulgaria back with headlines in just a few months. this
