have no one else to turn to. it is not yet in moscow you're watching r.t.m. arena joshua welcome to the program not content with the apec summit in japan and g. twenty gathering in south korea the foreign ministers of three emerging powers have been talking economy and politics and china russia india and china are part of a powerful bloc known as brick which is hoping to change the economic landscape of the planet so who's already leaving the dominant powers of today behind r.t.s. are still your search. from a pile of ruins right after the second world war to an economic powerhouse second only to the u.s. all of the spat of a single lifetime major pad economic miracle. you enjoy it but

nowadays the land of the rising sun is becoming the land of rising discontent. the unemployment rate itself is. around five percent but. the quality of the jobs lay your salary of being cut. and even when companies hire new people they tend to the condition. without social security the social benefits economic growth is on a standstill and export the engine of its economy are hurt by a soaring again pushing them to take their business elsewhere in the short run you will be doing you should really be increasing the prevention we will be increasingly important parts for the buses by overseas he's referred to china also known as the factory of the world with a major chunk of every manufactured art of today either fully or partly made in

china i'm here in the heart of the largest chinatown. there been four generations of chinese that moved to japan and they've been fitted greatly from the rise of this country economically but ironically the original country they had left has now overtaken their adoptive home to become the second largest economy in the world which means japan is now chasing the pack rather than leading it japan you're quite right still seeing you're stuck in the mud struggling to generate. growth beyond the u.s. for the sluggish. and i'm not sure either of those things are never going to change or many would say we're witnessing the beginning of china's era its economic clout is undeniable at the recently concluded g. twenty and apec summit barack obama repeatedly demanded that china lets the you want appreciate seeing below chinese currency. good a u.s.

countries as well as international issues such as russia's role in the middle east peace process watch the full interview next hour but here's a preview. and therefore i think russia could play a very important role it does mean your friends in the arab world we need to use our relations with russia in order to communicate the arab stance on things to the international community because it is very unnerving to see that injustice done by israel to palestinians as well as to lebanon and syria we can no longer ignore that israel is trying to pose its own agenda and keeps using lands daily unfortunately the world is not doing anything about it politically relations with russia are very important to us and we would like these relations to be economically beneficial as well we will also like to find out how russia could assist lebanon and equipping an army and security forces in this respect we're going to propose some ideas that are russian friends. there are

republicans call to slash spending across the board seems to have gone down well with voters in the us midterm elections and where the economy in ruins politicians say they will be cuts in education and health care but there is one multibillion dollar area that they won't touch. with the u.s. debt in the trillions in the economy still in the toilet it's no surprise politicians in washington are calling for this solution it's across the board spending cuts and in fact it was the rallying cry heard round the cable channel talks on midterm election night when you get right down to the details so charity made here medicaid you can everything that is not what i say it looks a lot more clear that across the board cuts really exclude a fifty eight percent chunk of the budget and i mean the flight has turned to spending would you cut defense across the board as well as the best example of you do you do not cut defense that how can politicians afford not to touch the six hundred billion dollars a year elephant in the discretionary room. that rises to over

a trillion dollars depending on what you factor into what you're calling defense minutes a politician democratic or republican or a particular session of congress begins to reduce significantly cut spending there's an immediate outcry and those congressional districts that are impacted. i'm sure it's political and hey being a superpower doesn't come cheap it's a question of maintaining ready the capability to project force in other words it costs a lot of money to support this it's our empire we have an empire we have half a million of our troops in other people's countries all over the world. maybe the spending isn't that big of a deal when you put it like that sounds like a huge giant number of terms of u.s. dollars but we have a fourteen trillion dollar economy but here is what else is quickly approaching fourteen trillion dollars the u.s. debt get the u.s. continues to demand spending almost as much on defense as the rest of the world

combined so it relies on other countries to pay for this countries like china to fund u.s. debts or another word to fund u.s. defense america storing all of these dollars in iraq and iraq afghanistan in japan. bases around the world that's what the deficit is and that's what the us isn't talking about at the federal american politicians would rather sidestep the issue i know. or protect defense at the cost of programs americans count on such as social security some high profile players are drawing attention to what actually resembles reality comedians for one america is like a family that spends way more than they bring in and had to give up a big stupid boat. and you know what america's stupid boat is it's our empire oh yeah and former budget director is a republican president. and the. son is an imperialist

power and we can't have credit card imperialism we can't be the policemen of the world because we can't afford it we're going to cut defense drastically but with the will on capitol hill looking more like this if you do you do not cut defense and the president overseeing this astronomical defense driven debt what does this really mean for the country it means that mr obama is trying to turn the united states into a third world country just as george bush did and just as clinton just as reagan did so there's been a constant movement of the united states to run up foreign debt without any ability to pay or even without any intention to pay and when that credit card is maxed out that tough talk we're hearing now that you're going to be falling on defense and feeling. more in mr r t new york. and there are always more stories on our website r.t. dot com here's a quick preview of what my catcher write while forecasters predict the coldest

winter approaches in moscow hundreds of homeless people stand in line waiting for just a small bit of food probably just in the offices well people come here to eat you see this food here and eat some of it and take the rest of my kids i've got kids you know. sygate a covey of is just one of thousands of homeless in moscow simply trying to get by but i live in a railway platform that are like forty of us there are two openings so twenty people fit in one of them and twenty fifth in the other three i've been living there for one year recognizing a needle is a veteran drink and regularly sets up a makeshift clinic and distribution center near the populace k.-a train station in central moscow she has also started a blog to let people know the problems moscow's homeless face those who come to her for help simply call her doctor leaves that. we help some people to return home the priority here is people who are seriously sick with cancer and tb those

who are beaten up if we can we find their relatives i also try to help those who have come out of prison all at once a week the homeless and the needy from all over moscow come here so that they can get supplies of food and even medical treatment if needed but as is the case with many operations of this kind the supply just does not meet the demand. in summer we'll act shirts in the winter we don't have enough food because they need to stay warm in the winter which is impossible without food we need more room it would be good to have a place where they could stay at least when it's really cold though she faces a daunting task with limited resources those who know her say their lives are better because of dr lee's influence. on the thought that when i met elizabeth in two thousand and six here help anywhere i can we met when we were in difficult places in our lives her mother was sick and my daughter was also at the same high. one of my daughters died in

a car accident the other one barely made it she noticed me and asked what was wrong that's how we met everything i have now is thanks to her. those who come here for help understand the stakes and usable you i don't know what we would do with any of this help we're not for these charity organizations we will be done for them dr lisa's fear is that politicians with the power to make real changes just don't understand the problems. problem i don't know why this issue is being ignored because these are active people who could be returned to normal life we need hospitals that could solve many problems related to prolong to deaths or chronic disease it's not just the patient himself who is handicapped but the people around him who are the caregivers also become emotionally handicapped and they have nowhere to go for help but dilemma that gives dr elisa the inspiration to continue to help one person at a time sean thomas. moscow also take

people to shy away from expressing their feelings nowadays we communicate via the internet and mobile phone a lot and stay in sort of isolation from each other. but even with its detractors many who shelled out for forgiveness from a stranger feel it's a minor price to pay when it helps reunite longtime lovers jake agrees artie and i have had about ten minutes time here directly with a trip to a place geologists call nature is an egg so what our special report on the can talk about insulin in the far east of russia and here's a preview. are you. comfortable. this is. just. absurd. and scary story. on the. craters. scorching.
