made in china the apac and g. twenty summits leave the world with the feeling that the asians state is now when the driving seat of the global economy. as the u.s. offers israel fighter jets in exchange for a pause in settlement building on palestinian land critics insists such deals cannot be struck with one behind the other's back. hoping for the homeless. who has made it her quest to help the less fortunate some of whom have no one else to turn to. worldwide news live from moscow this is r.t. the center stage of a world economy and politics is shifting to the asia pacific region that's the view of russia's foreign minister sort of off he was speaking in china at

a meeting of ministers of three emerging powers russia india and china a part of a powerful bloc known as bric which is hoping to change the economic landscape of the planet so who's already leaving the dominant powers of today behind. them 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 the single life time major pad economic miracle. well you enjoy it but nowadays the land of the rising sun is becoming a rising discontent. on. the unemployment rate itself is. around five percent but. the quality of the jokes play. out of me being cut. even when companies hire new people they tend

to the condition of without social security so 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 overseas prevention we will be increasingly important parts for the buses by overseas he's referring 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 for the rise of this country economically but ironically the original country they had left has now overtaken their adopted homeland 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. so the sluggish. and i'm not sure either of those things are never going to change 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 china. currency is hurting u.s. exports chinese president hu jintao. china gets the last word that's the new reality in asia if not the whole world. tests are still your r.t. yokohama japan. r.t. is coming to you live from moscow and there's still plenty to come this hour including. the. sundown as an imperialist

power republicans seem eager to throw countless piles of dollars u.s. defense mostly at the cost of social benefits. and investigation into a cause of our organ trafficking network raises concerns about the region becoming a breeding ground for gruesome crime. the u.s. is trying to revive the stalled middle east peace talks by enticing israel to freeze settlement construction in occupied palestinian territories washington's put twenty stealth fighter jets worth three billion dollars on the table and a pledge to fight any international resolutions against israel in exchange it wants the country to pull its construction in the west bank for three months with a promise not to ask them to prolong the freeze afterwards palestinians are criticizing the plan pointing out it will not apply to east jerusalem talk to her son there is the palestinian autonomy economics minister and chairman of the palestinian campaign against settlement products he says israel is just buying

itself away around un regulations with this deal. i think we're talking about blackmailing israel blackmailing america and mailing the world for. some kind of. settlement activities is in my opinion very very serious breach of the neutrality of the american government and very serious speech there that mr community this will not work because even if they. have they were returning for three months it will not be for the whole but it's in a territory but what will happen at the end of the three months nobody knows is there will stall the process even if it starts and then of the three months they will have another route another round of a new blackmailing long list of things that they will demand the way it is being played there know where this is this is not a peace process this is basically a process where the united states of america subjected to the blackmailing of those

very government to get its way and not only getting very much. stronger in terms of the military power but also getting very much able to get away with a lot of illegal things that they are doing israel said no what is with the negotiating terms with the americans concerning the coming back to the peace process is establishing for a fact that this is a country above the accountability and this is a country where the international law is not subjected to i think with all of these grantees with all of these goodies with all of these promises from the american administration why should israel come to any terms concerning peace and why should israel feel that they are obligated to the international community if they cannot be punished or they cannot be prosecuted or they cannot be held accountable in the house of nations this is another way to build for the resumption of the peace process this is basic breach of the international community's norms and this will

not lead to any serious progress in the peace process. the republicans call to slash spending across the board seems to have gone down well with voters in the us mid-term elections with the economy in ruins politicians saying they'll be cuts in education and health care but there's one multi-billion dollar area 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 around that cable channel clock 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 clearly it is time to spending would you cut defense across the board as well as domestics have 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 of 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 to have a 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 and 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. debt or another word to fund us defense america's storing all of these dollars in iraq and iraq afghanistan in japan. it's bases around the world that's what the deficit is and that's what the u.s. isn't talking about the federal american politicians would rather sidestep the issue i never cross the border 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 dad won't give up that 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 kind of at the. sundown as an imperialist power and we can't have credit card imperialism we can't be the policemen of the world anymore 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 did there's 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 and lyster r t v york. governments around the world are slashing

their spending in order to stay afloat in these tricky economic times and social benefits are often the first for the chop the future of the welfare state is up for debate in today's crosstalk and that's coming your way in about fifteen minutes time. welfare state is actually extremely prop. eight the problem is that the government doesn't believe that we can afford it well peter can you afford it. and i don't see why i know it is simply a decision about how you spend public money but in the welfare state there's not another pay t.v. program which we can switch on and off it's part of our social contract it's part of our constitution the welfare state we're helpings making some people better off or a clear proof proving their welfare but we've got at the same time and on welfare state for those people who are paying work we're redistributing.

fresh claims of organ trafficking cause of our revived sinister allegations made against the region soldiers a jury in the war seven people have been charged in the new case with one suspect linked to the cause of our liberation army accused of trafficking organs of captured serbs the indictment is the starkest revelation of the extent of organized crime in the region since cause of our declared independence. day greece in allegations claims this know going to exclaim great including doctors and a high level health official were involved in organ trafficking and as the investigation continues there are now growing concerns that with political instability and a weak justice system close of a could be becoming a breeding ground for criminal activity organ trafficking on fortunately exists in other parts of the world but the people who want it it's basically

a big business or course the people who do it to don't do it on an ethnic basis but do it because there is a lot of money in it and the opportunity to sort of top. environment which has been existing impossible for pretty much the last ten years is of course something that they would welcome the allegations fakers on the medicaid private clinics and first surfaced he is forcing the sensitive chloe's shockingly r.t. have discovered the two things named in the indictment have continued to work ever since as another health center you're a medical and just next door to where the alleged crimes took place so we went to confront your america about. we just tried to speak to your 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 case appears again where that were shut down you can see the proximity is extremely the indictments have

shed a harsh spotlight on organized crime in cost of a base its government and western clint. she's accused of turning a blind eye to the lawlessness has been growing ever since it declared independence from serbia three years ago there are also many who accuse the ruling authorities of miscarriages of justice that date back to the wall being drawn between medicals and the yellow house case the alleged murder and harvesting of organs of serbian war prisoners by members of the cause of a liberation army but there was insufficient evidence to bring that case because my husband was taken just after the war ended despite surveillance having been promised security or regardless of ethnicity he never came back the families of kidnapped and killed people in consular have been fighting the red tape in the u.n. mission in consular for a long time but so far was out in result the biggest problem is that those who are killing and kidnapping people have changed their soldier uniforms for the suits of

m.p.'s they gained overnight with the help of international institutions the focus is now for laying on whether the territory is up to fighting organized crime and say many can still say clearly because the abuses of the past there for r.t. . military assistance is what's on the table as the lebanese prime minister is coming to moscow so are the hungrier he is expected to meet with his counterpart vladimir putin during the two day visit ahead of us trip bazzi talked to the lebanese prime yeah on relations between the two countries as well as international issues such as russia's role in the middle east peace process. or. 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 and think through the international community because it is very unnerving to see that in just as

done by israel to palestinians as well as to lebanon and syria we can no longer ignore this israel is trying to pose its own agenda it keeps using lands daily unfortunately the world is not doing anything about it literally relations with russia are very important to us and we would like these relations to be economically beneficial as well 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. with thousands of people living rough on the streets of moscow the chief concern for them remains how to make it through each night but now thanks to one doctor in particular help is at hand sean thomas reports though she battles with a chronic lack of funding to bring treatment to the city's poorest people. as winter approaches in moscow hundreds of homeless people stand in line waiting for

just a small bit of food in the offices well people come here to eat you see this food here ate some of it and take the rest to 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 under a railway platform that are like forty of us there are two openings so twenty people fit in one of them and twenty feet 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 pub you let's go to 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 or 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 will lack t. 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 hospital. 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 and while those who come here for help understand the stakes this is where your daughter born i don't know what we would do with any of this what 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. 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 they have nowhere to go for help a dilemma that gives dr loser the inspiration to continue to help one person at a time sean thomas r t moscow. it is right now turning twenty minutes past the
