now. there was a first talk at 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 trading. for already this would reduce the nuclear long range missiles of the two countries by thirty percent if 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 it's beneficial for sides right now 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 and the year two presidents discuss the ascension of russia to the world trade organization the bid of russia to join the w t oh no president obama has said that russia has the 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 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 headway making progress and the commitment is coming

from the u.s. president on this matter. because more analysis some attempts to pass this treaty on nuclear production the main u.s. diplomat of the issue believes the ratification process is drug them too long and says it's now critical. i believe there is zero chance that we can get to the negotiating table any time soon on tactical nuclear weapons unless we get this treaty ratified and entered into force it will be a profound blow to the us russian relationship and will cause some difficulties in terms of advancing our national security agenda with with the russian federation there's been very very strong effort to understand this treaty it's been many years since we've had a big strategic nuclear arms control treaty of this type before the senate there's been a strong due diligence what i'm saying is that body of information is there nothing has changed over the ensuing period while folks have been out for the election

process it's time to take that body of material make the decisions that are necessary and move forward to a vote on the floor but it was the fringe meetings between individual nations which seem to seal most of the progress of the asia pacific summit on the main result being a commitment to free trade in the final declaration the countries agree not to introduce any trade barriers over the next three years it mirrors this week's in the g twenty summit in seoul where leaders agreed to the cut and seewald won't help crisis recovery but then fail to adopt any action plan this is now is go about sort of the story. 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 us 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 wise you can we really value the removal be 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 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. the us had wanted to use the g twenty depression china but ended up having to explain its own actions instead of leading global currency go to money told us that. 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 and do the tables were turned that the u.s. actually had to explain its own behavior to a whole host of countries in 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 with the fed before and your country before you start kind of throwing stones at us. there were no shortage of opinions about george w. bush's presidency but in a few minutes on the program tonight we'll look at what the man himself has to say about his tenure confession and denials the next president's men was detail his regret over invading iraq to justify torture methods but said this morning also.

russia gets its first ever team in formula one find out how it's gearing up to get ahead of the field and take its place on the grid. the u.s. is desperately trying to revive the stalled middle east peace talks by entice in israel who extend its construction moratorium in occupied palestinian territories washington has put on the table twenty stealth fighter jets with 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 the u.s. promise not to ask to prolong it further palestinians though are criticizing the plan saying the proposed freeze will not apply to east jerusalem the recent round of u.s. brokered peace talks became stuck just three weeks after they began after israel reaffirmed its commitment to continue building settlements in palestinian areas but earlier today spoke to issues from a group which represents jewish settlements she says obama that was just trying to

mend his reputation after his recent electoral hammering. it's an interesting fact after obama's midterm 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 wed least seven people including a high ranking health official have been charged with luring foreign nationals to remove their kidneys for transplant one suspect is linked to the kosovo liberation army which was accused of selling the body parts of captured serbs during the concert or war party sarah firth 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 ninety nine after the military technical agreement was signed q four two forces promise 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 medicare. 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 five october and there are five defendants charged with very various. organized crime illegal trafficking of. misuse of public office there are also charges of wrong for use of the medical profession. although it's not yet officially been 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've been indicted and have been working at medicaid 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 don't 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 fears ago where that with that then you can see the proximity is extremely close another of the men indicted in the medicals 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 past a still evident today and there are concerns that cause of a 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 allowed to remain buried sarah firth r.t. because of a. more about her long running story on our website r t the comments chronicled there for you also along tonight on our page how looking shifty can get you stopped at security and israeli for mutable advice scanning techniques they say would. prove but it would take. about already check that one out if you're interested in dot com and it seemed to be puppy love at first sight when it was presented with this lovely hairy and sheep dog on a trade trip to the country joins the labrador on the telly to give. probably get on board on t.v. dot com.

now the big story we brought you from the week the moscow spidey scandal the moscow washington spy scandal indeed 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 showed a cough who's now apparently under f.b.i. protection going off reports. 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 over 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 it blown 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 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 they give the visit and according to some reports of a 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 he's why he we jetted 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 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's what is true this is an amazing story it doesn't only have a trainer but a true hero as well so 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 and two presented secret documents that he then revealed his true identity but intelligence experts seen naming and shaming russian operatives was probably not in 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 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 you've got this going on moscow. george w. bush broke his silence about his turbulent presidency this last week his newly

published bear was in the defend the most controversial decisions of his time in office confessing to some of the blunders would seal his reputation 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 tell applause the former congressman tom andrews who spoke with believes that authorizing torture was a tragic mistake or fail to realize it. first of all it is illegal you can get an attorney to say anything you what but the fact of the matter is it is illegal secondly it violates international law it violates the geneva convention and thirdly it puts american soldiers at risk so that when they find themselves god forbid in an enemy's have. then you they are faced with the prospect of having the same treatment given to them that george bush was authorizing given to to to those

who the united states brought into custody it was a tragic mistake and the fact that the president can't recognize that mistake is not surprising but but again unfortunate you know it's rather extraordinary for president bush was on national television and he said that his lowest moment the lowest of the low as he described it was when a rap artist kenya west accused him of not caring about black people during the katrina debacle in the failure of the federal government to respond to the hurricane disaster when in fact you have a war against iraq violation of international law an invasion that killed thousands of american soldiers over one hundred thousand iraqis all to go after weapons of mass destruction that did not exist. former u.s. congressman tom andrews speaking to. britain's biggest show of anger yet against the massive cuts the country faces to plug its debts this week tens of thousands of

students descended on london against plans to strip to triple their college fees they burned banners broke windows and hurled objects and police more than fifty wrested the house budget cuts coincide with a dispute over pay 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 in the week he's a british m.e.p. who told us 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 as states and private golf clubs you know it's a huge waste of money there's no excuse for any increase in the e.u. budget in fact it should be out so we can as boasted about this stupor 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 piece of 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 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 so will these headlines make the rounds right now this early monday morning the worst flooding in belgium for fifty years is devastating huge parts of the country claimed to live so far has been a month's worth of rainfall in the space of just two days with rivers overflowing in central and western regions belgian prime minister. he says authorities are closely monitoring the situation although no state of emergency has been declared so far. hundreds of opposition supporters and police clashed for the second day in
