known as the factory of the world with a major chunk of every manufactured item today either fully or partly made in china i'm here in the heart of the largest chinatown in asia here in yokohama there have 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 regional country they have left has now overtaken their adoptive 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 seem to be stuck in the mud struggling to generate. growth beyond us this. level. and i'm not sure either of those things are very. 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 is hurting u.s. exports chinese president hu jintao remained unmoved china gets the last word that's the new reality in asia if not the whole world. r.t. yokohama japan. the outgoing u.s. senate is starting its last series of sessions before the newly elected members come in this january thing is going to look tough for barack obama the post-election period called a lame duck session this is the last chance for the president push his initiatives through the democratic majority was severely reduced following recent elections and one deal at risk is the nuclear arms reduction treaty with russia which could face strong republican opposition political expert dr dominic lieven says obama is desperate to make this tricky work to win points at home. for the moment everything's less important than internal battles on cap. hill. you know within the
11:06 am
sort of american political elite there's simply obsessive lee hostile to each other and competing for power nothing else really counts and therefore you know international treaty is the whole range of foreign policy issues to simply become again essential to see in and who's out in washington well i think it's partly that they feel the document is important it's you know this treaty is a significant part of their whole foreign policy and obviously they are committed to you know better relations with russia and trying to stabilize the nuclear relationship but beyond that if the senate throws out this treaty it will make the rest of the world believe that obama is powerless if you can't even get this treaty through what else is he you know going to be able to do probably nothing i think most of the rest of the world regards this is a good treaty the administration is committed to it if the senate throws it out we're told filibusters about it then it will make the american administration look powerless and of course that will have
11:07 am
a very bad effect for the next two years so there's a you know a general issue surrounding the trade ability of the effectiveness of this administration there's also of course the broader issue of the nuclear arms balance with russia and indeed of collaboration with russia on nuclear arms in general which presumably would also affect american plans as regards iran but it's not at all surprising that. gates and indeed our barbara pretty desperate. political expert dr dominic leave in there speaking to r.t. from moscow well in a just a few minutes here we look at what price the republicans are ready to pay to keep america's image as a superpower which calls for a cut in social spending to help america's shattered economy the massive military spending remains fenced off plus. she noticed me and asked what was wrong and that's how we met everything i have now is thanks to her we report on eye doctor in moscow who is devoting her life to helping those that live in. on the.

us is desperately trying to revive the stalled the middle east peace talks it's offering some early christmas gifts to entice israel into extending a freeze on building in the 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 america wants israel to pause construction in the west bank for three months and promises not to request another freeze when the deadline is palestinians are criticizing the plan angry that the proposal will not apply to east jerusalem talk to her son up all the bare palestinian economics minister says it shows how israel is twisting washington's arm. but i think we're talking about blackmailing israel blackmailing america and mailing the world for stablish in some kind of pseudo moratorium on the
11:09 am
settlement activities settlement activities have been characterized by the whole world as illegal and i think the fact that israel is negotiating with an american an american administration the terms of a deal where they could have this pseudo moratorium for three months is in my opinion very very serious breach of the neutrality of the american government and very serious speech to the international community this will not work because even if they have they will return for three months it will not be for the old palestinian territory but what will happen at the end of the three months nobody knows israel will stall the process even if it starts at the end of the three months they will have another route another round here to a new blackmailing long list of things that they will demand israel with the negotiating terms with the americans concerning the coming back to the peace process is establishing for a fact that this is a cut above the accountability and this is a country where they had. national law is not subjected to i think it is very high
11:10 am
time for other countries to stay in the united nations especially the other members of the court did like russia and the european union russia and there will be a new union have an equal stake in this peace process and i don't think they should accept the continual say it would still be continue would sidelined by the way the americans are living with there is no way these. dr hassan are who lived there he's a palestinian economics minister we were talking to him just a bit earlier. well at least seven suspects in cars of have been charged with persuading people to sell their organs with false offers of cash one of the accused had previously faced allegations of trafficking body parts of serbian prisoners during the kosovo war and as are to you sarah ferguson and out of that conflict because of hours later the declaration of independence has invited in organized crime. they grease him allegations claims this noga nice crime group including
11:11 am
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 cause 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 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 focus on the medical private clinic and first surfaced he years ago forcing the centers to close shockingly r.t. have discovered that two things named on 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
11:12 am
confront your america about we just tried to speak to america and they don't want to talk to us who are asking them about the to employees who are supposedly still working there despite having been involved in the medical case piers ago where that were shut down you can see the proximity is extremely close the indictments have shed a harsh spotlight on organized crime in kosovo a base its government and western countries are accused of turning a blind eye to the lawlessness has been growing ever since it declared independence from serbia at least three years ago there are also many who accuse the ruling authorities of miscarriages of justice that date back to the war being drawn between medicaid 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 those in. sufficient evidence to bring that case to court. my

u.s. debt exceeding thirteen trillion dollars republicans were elected in the midterm elections on a promise to reduce the budget with across the board spending cuts yet they explicitly exempt the defense budget promising to fund america's wars whatever the cost may be a long list of reports. with the us dead 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 the cable channel talk on midterm election night air when you get right down to the details so charity may be 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. spending would you cut defense across the board as well as domestic are you do you do not fancy that how can politicians afford not to touch the six hundred billion dollars a year elephant in the discretionary room. that rises to over
11:17 am
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 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 to have that 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 you know other people's countries all over the world. and maybe the spending isn't that big of a deal when you put it like that sounds like a huge giant number in 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. continues to demand spending almost as much on the fence as the rest

of the world combined relies on other countries to pay for this countries like china to fund u.s. debt or another word to fund us americans storing all of these dollars in iraq and. afghanistan in japan and its 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 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 had to give up a big stupid boat. and you know what america is stupid boat is it's our empire we know yeah and former budget director is a republican president. and the. sun is an imperialist
11:19 am
power and we can have credit card imperialism we can be the policemen of the world because we can't afford it we're going to cut defense drastically 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. more and mr r t new york. live from moscow this is a respected doctor blog. and humanitarian by day at night she sift through rubbish

the newspapers the bank of england is also saying that maybe they should do quantitative easing so if all the countries in gauging quantitative easing they'll be more notes chasing the same amount of goods and from that point of view then oil or any other commodity shouldn't fall in price and what do you think has the market turned more bullish the market in itself leaving aside the currency e shoes is fairly bullish because china despite whatever issues they're having in the short term what they're considering to increase interest rates china is consuming more and more oil. if the pace of discoveries in oil is not keeping pace with the growth and the man then of course that is bullish and right now we're entering the winter which traditionally is the period for prices so right now prices are very strong.
