ratifying the start treaty will be a top senate priority it came at the apec summit in japan from where are these tests or a silly reports now. there was a 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 has 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 i reiterated my commitment. to 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 and it would allow the two countries to check 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 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-called european anti missile shield with exchange 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 oh no president obama has said that russia has a full support of the u.s. and he said actually said the russia belongs at w.v.u. 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 all the agreements reached during my visit to washington and i hope this process will continue and brush it will soon access

the positive results are that of the start treaty ratification so it is very important that this is making ahead. the progress and commitment is coming from the us a president on this matter. america's chief negotiator for the original start treaty in one hundred ninety one warns against that in the new deal with the rigid but says it is a crucial turning point in the not ratifying would send the wrong signal to the world us 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 augmentin a shot in tehran what impact are we having on 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. meantime it was the fringe meetings between individual nations which seemed to seal most of the progress of the asia pacific summit the only other main result being a commitment to free trade in the final declaration the countries agreed not to introduce any new trade barriers over the next three years and there is this week's

earlier g twenty summit in seoul in fact we're leaders agreed that a currency war wouldn't help crisis recovery but then fail to adopt any action plan this is no is going to side of the story this week. the world at 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'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 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 we're 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 cast class from getting out of control and he's now a r t from seoul south korea. there's been no shortage of opinions about george w. bush's presidency but in a few minutes tonight we look at the man himself has to say about his tenure confessions and denials the ex-president his memoirs detail his regrets over invading iraq and justifying torture methods. also. going into a muslim village. i got beat up why a growing hatred of christians is the one thing israel's hardline muslims and jews agree on the victims of violence tell their story to a few minutes here on this channel. the us is desperately trying to revive

the stalled middle east peace talks by entice him now israel to extend its construction moratorium in occupied palestinian territories washington's put on the table twenty stealth fighter jets worth three billion dollars and a pledge to fight any international resolutions against israel in exchange it wants israel to hold construction in the west bank for three months with a promise not to ask to prolong it any further palestinians though are criticizing the plan saying the proposed freeze will not supply to east jerusalem recent round of u.s. brokered peace talks became stuck three weeks after they started after israel reaffirmed its commitment to continue building settlements in palestinian areas spoke to issues from a group which represents jewish settlements she says obama though is just trying to mend his reputation after his recent electoral hammering. it's an interesting fact after obama's mid-term loss where he sees that americans are very upset with his domestic policy and it doesn't look like it's going to get better anytime soon then he's got to go offshore as it were and figure out how to make some kind of success

of his of his regime of his presidency somewhere else and that's where we are right now. after years of official denial the e.u. is finally taking action over claims of organ trafficking in kosovo at least seven people including a high ranking health official have been charged with luring foreign nationals to remove their kidneys for a transplant one suspect is linked to the kosovo liberation army which was accused of selling the body parts of captured service during the kosovo war some sort of further investigated in the week. it was a war with a legacy of atrocities among the more shocking claims the alleged murders and harvesting of the organs of serbian war prisoners by members of the cause of a liberation army it's alleged to have happened in a place that became known as the yellow house in one thousand nine hundred nineteen after the military technical agreement was signed q four and the two forces

promised to secure the safety of all people living in kosovo regardless of their ethnicity but after the serbian forces left ninety percent of the kidnappings happened the allegations were made in a book by former u.n. war crimes prosecutor carla del ponte say but the case never made it to course because of a lack of evidence now they it's her turn to the public attention in the wake of an investigation into another organ trafficking case in cars are very. focused on the private clinic medical. the indictment relating to the. medical cases currently with the pristina district court. we're waiting. confirmation hearing what we can say is that the two indictments were filed on fifteen twenty eighth of october and there are five defendants charged with very various. organized crime illegal trafficking of organs

misuse of public office they're also charges of wrong for use of the medical profession. although it's not yet officially being made public the indictment has been leaks the group are accused of removing the organs of people's poor they have been persuaded by the lure of money being offered around twenty thousand dollars for a kidney part of the leaked documents seen by a dirty also reveals that many of these people were never paid r.t. discovered that those who have been indicted and have been working at medicare before it closed and now working at private clinic medical just next door to the place they're accused of having performed the illegal operations so we went to confront your america. we just tried to speak to america and they want to talk to us who are asking them about the two employees who are supposedly still working

there despite having been involved in the medical peers ago where that were shut down you can see the proximity is extremely close another of the men indicted in the medical case has possible links to yellow house after a war crimes tribunal witness claimed he was at the house the new investigation stares at painful memories for those who are still trying to discover the truth about what really happened in the yellow house case and where their missing family members are now. after the war me myself my husband and our three children were living in costa he went out one day and was taken away for questioning he never came back the scars of cause of aids passed still evident today and there are concerns that cause a very is becoming an easy breeding ground for organized crime those who still wonder how their family members suffered see the truth of what happens cannot be

go to big news stories for most of the week just gone the moscow washington spy scandal took an unexpected turn when it was revealed that the ten russian agents were sold out by their own boss a russian newspaper named colonel should call for. protection. can offer a port. that summer spy story between the u.s. 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 photograph have been found to journalists from the moscow based community newspaper who have held their own investigation claim he is behind a wall and 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 and 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 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 may 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. he'll super agent in the group mikail which in course was still in the shadows just as he had been for the past four decades. that's where his true hero this is an amazing story it doesn't only have a trailer but a true hero as well so to absolute opposites i'm talking about with some coffee and his fantastic story. q.f. 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 and two 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 are obviously against the timing of this 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 igor is going off moscow. george w. bush broke his silence on his turbulent presidency this last week his newly published memoir see and defend the most controversial decisions of his time in office confessing to some of the blood this would seal his reputation to in the

book decision points bush acknowledges what he calls a sickening feeling that he authorized the u.s. invasion of iraq based on false intelligence however bush justifies the use of waterboarding terror suspects as a legitimate form of interrogation which in his view was useful in breaking up terror plots before cia officers mcgovern spoke to us he believes that by justifying torture bush's white house got caught up in a web of lies. well number one it saved no lies in itself is a big lie the proof is in the putting it torture creates more terrorists secondly it could ever be justified torture is one of those techniques or one of those things the. is all was intrinsically wrong just like slavery or great or genocide all was always wrong or george bush is saying is that some lawyer city hired to give him the correct answer said you know you could go ahead and waterboard people

waterboarding being universally recognized everywhere but in the white house as torture is you don't get any meaning to disengage psychologically from a dependency such as alcohol without help this business about the almighty intervening and his turning himself over to the almighty is cynical in the extreme he needed professional help and when he listen to the almighty tell him to invade iraq well that's where it gets really ridiculous it's not the almighty that i know about so it's not a former cia officer robert govern talking to us about a. good race shouldn't the us has been used to the rest of the world looking up to it but americans know there are deep problems at home and abroad which have caused the damage to way right now especially as other countries of all my talk show host larry hof in this us people in new york which nation they think is top dog.

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 in 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. to 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 murtha has some by looking out for the world the chinese who else is there india. did he think the united states is doing a good job for looking out for everyone well. i sometimes think we get involved

things that should be you know. we're in trouble probably we've all term from other countries who are open come in 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 that 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 done 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 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.

we also reported in the week the britain saw its biggest show of anger yet against the massive cuts the country faces to plug its debt this week tens of thousands of students descended on london against plans to treble their college fees they burned banners broke windows and held objects and police more than fifty would arrested the harsh budget cuts coincide with a dispute over paying to run the european union which is in line to get even more money from member states next year i spoke to david campbell bannerman he's a british m.e.p. he told me why he thinks britain would be better off spending the money back home. when you look at where the money is 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 of states and private golf clubs you know it's a huge waste of money there's no excuse for any increase in the budget in fact it

should be coutts very common has boasted about this to provide percent increases be a 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 piece of the parliament has called this two point nine percent claim as being dishonest and the president of the european union says it's an opinion not a decision so i mean to be honest we don't know where we are at the budget could be far more than two point nine percent it could go up towards six percent in theory so we really are left in limbo here but there's no excuse for this kind of increase . british david campbell bannerman told me there on where he thinks britain's e.u. spending could be better used. israel is plagued by religious conflict but it's not always between jews and muslims they appear to have united against what they see as

a common threat targeting christians because of the faith and authorities paula that in the week violence is on the rise. thing david ortiz lives dangerously a christian pastor among religious jews in the west bank city of 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 in the blew him through the kitchen. the whole. in this choice most of the thrusts or in this way but the backfire destroyed the refrigerator and 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 places he's very proud.

of he began 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 mantra square and teach about geezers but all that ended after her house was nearly burned down i didn't feel like i've been known to this nice anymore i feel like i'm staying just 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 i have to memorize. but abu sada ignores the threats

he's one of a growing number of muslims whose converted to christianity in recent years one hour as a fighter with arafat i hated christians just as much as i hated jews i was going on wrong door and looking for their own zone through anger and into 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. ugh. everything i have for this because in the end this is my country but it's not accounting problems. each time i go home in uniform someone will call it me traitor and 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 for you see our team to resign him. you're watching review this week's top stories here on our take i'll bring your recovery shortly and then an interview with the man behind one of russia's biggest investment banks is coming up i'm kevin owen signs for choosing our team from moscow. to.
