newspaper reveals the man who claims or exposed ten russian agents expelled from the u.s. this summer. at seven am in moscow are going to be with you here on our team as we bring you today's top stories and a look back at the week's main news our top story barack obama has reassured to be true medvedev of his determination to see the senate ratify the start treaty on nuclear cuts within the next few weeks comments come at a meeting on the sidelines of the apec summit in japan. has more from yokohama. 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 start treaty now of president obama had there 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 us congress i reiterated my commitment. to start. 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 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 and the year two presidents discuss the ascension of russia

to the world trade organization the bid 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 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. this is an achievement by the american president and his team who lived up to all the agreements reached here in my visit to washington 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. it's good now more analysis on attempts to pass the nuclear arms reduction the us main diplomat on the issue believes the ratification process has dragged on too long and says it's now critical that it happens. 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 a 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. it was the fringe meetings between individual nations that

seem to see most of the progress at 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 a new barriers or to trade over the next three years this mirrors this we saw earlier g twenty summit in seoul where leaders agreed that a currency war won't help crisis recovery but then failed to adopt any action plan parties and he said no way has more from the south korean capital. the world after the war the weapon currency. the fallout trade imbalance the world's paying i mean the world is paying the price through the asset bubbles that are being blown throughout the emerging markets and this high stakes battle for global exchange is 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. can we really value the remove the chinese currency which the u.s. 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 certainly the group also agreed to develop early warning indicators to prevent economic turmoil but the question now is that enough to prevent this cash clash from getting out of control and he's now a r t from seoul south korea. the us had wanted to use the g twenty to pressure china but end up having to explain its own actions instead that's the view of one leading global currency adolescent. 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 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 dealing with with the fed before your country before you start kind of throwing stones at us. there's been no shortage of opinion on george w. bush's presidency in a few minutes we'll look at what the man himself has to say about his tenure the former president's memoirs detail everything from his views on invading iraq to justifying the use of torture plots. russia gets its first ever team form of the one and find out how it's gearing up to get ahead of the field and take its place on the grid. before we get to that the u.s.

is desperately trying to revive the stalled middle east peace talks by enticing israel to extend its construction moratorium in occupied palestinian territory washington's put on the table twenty stealth capable fighter jets were three billion dollars and it pledged to fight any international resolutions against israel in exchange it wants israel to halt construction of the west bank for three months with the u.s. promise not to ask to prolong it further palestinians are criticizing the plan saying the proposed freeze will not apply to east jerusalem the recent round of u.s. brokered talks became stuck three weeks after they began after israel reaffirmed its commitment to keep building settlements in palestinian areas eva horo is from a group that represents jewish settlements she says obama is just trying to. mend his reputation after his recent of what will happen. 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 off shore 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 there are allegations that have dogged kosovo for years but now at least seven people have been charged with luring foreign nationals to sell their kidneys for transplant one suspect is a link to the kosovo liberation army which was accused of taking body parts from captured serbs during the war in the late ninety's or two sarah ferguson besta gets . 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 courts 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 point of 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 yes 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. also reveals that many of these people. never paid r.t. discovered the two days he's 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 medical. we just tried to speak to your 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 case piers ago where 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 course of a past still evident today and there are concerns the 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 happened cannot be allowed to remain buried sarah firth r.t.

cause of a. more on that horrific and a lot of running story on our website our team is what's also online for you. are looking shifty thing getting stopped at security and israeli security firm developed a high scanning technology which it says is old. and it seemed to be puppy love at first sight when dividing their pudding was presented with this blog area and trade trip to the country joins the labrador and the tiger he's going to give it in the past all that and more at our team. as with all good spies stories the saga of the ten russian agents expelled from the u.s. took an unexpected twist this week a russian newspaper claimed they'd been betrayed by their boss

a man known as colonel share by called is now apparently under the protection of the f.b.i. r.t.c. are piskun off ports this 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 with the drama of this whole situation is that the agents were turned in by their boss. he's been named as for allegedly headed the american department of russia's foreign intelligence service neither his first name or grant have been found to journalists from the most school based community people who have held their investigation clean he is behind blowing his colleagues cover in the united states but. 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 also. 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 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 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 see 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 to absolute opposites i'm talking about with some coffee and he's fantastic story. he left the soviet union in the one nine hundred sixty s. first to speak 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 colonel 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. 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 r g moscow. george w. bush broke his silence on his turbulent presidency this week his newly published memoirs seen him defend his most controversial decisions of his time in office and confessing to some of the blunders that sealed 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 but he justifies his use of waterboarding terror suspects as a legitimate form of interrogation which in his view was useful in breaking up terror plots former congressman tom andrews believes authorizing torture was

a tragic mistake that bush failed to realize. first of all it is illegal you can get an attorney to say anything you want 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 hands then use their face to. 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 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 when the failure of the federal government to respond to that hurricane disaster when in fact you have a war against iraq a 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. commentary there from former u.s. congressman tom andrews 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 triple their college tuition they burned banners broke windows and threw objects at the police more than fifty were arrested the harsh budget cuts coincided with a dispute over paying to run the european union which is in line to get even more money from member states next year david campbell better man a british member of the european parliament tells r t why he thinks britain would be better off spending the cash back home. 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 is 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 to put 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 now is cool does only by the actual chief negotiator here the every to be negotiating involved with paula but as cool this two point nine percent claim as being dissolved and the president of the european union says it's an opinion not a decision. 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 siri so we really are left

in limbo here but there's no excuse for this kind of increase. commentary from british m.e.p. david campbell bannerman and where britain is even spending could be better spent turning now to some other stories making headlines across the globe the worst flooding in belgium fifty years as devastated huge parts of the country and claim to lives. but a month's worth of rainfall in the space of just two days with rivers overflowing in the central and western regions belgian prime minister says authorities are closely watching the situation though no state of emergency has so far been declared. hundreds of opposition supporters and police clashed for a second day in the bangladeshi capital dhaka tear gas and rubber bullets were used to disperse protesters after the bangladeshi nationalist party called for a day long national strike demonstrations were triggered when authorities threatened to take the opposition leader from the home of almost. all

a formal one. in the best case and actually the point of that that was the age of the cannabis was. watching but the now is currently stuck in go karts. that's because no russian company has ever built a formula one car in fact the image of russian cars internationally is quite the opposite. that is until now. enter the new russian comic. they're out to build super powerful super fast cars and now they've bought a stake in britain's virgin racing team they'll be helping to build the first f one machine when that's what it should you know discuss all the shit i would do we started working with the virgin team as technical partners a year and a half ago at this point we've bought a significant part of this team now this is going to be the first russian team
