leaders of the biggest pacific rim economies meeting in a wide pledge to prevent the european debt crisis from spreading to the region and triggering another a global recession also. we're seeing really the results of it. when people of you if you follow it closely the interests of the demands of your. concern and the growing influence of brussels over in your member states as greece and now italy look to choose a prime minister is based on the support of europe not the people. debate over palestinian statehood bid and with a deadlock at the u.n. security council where the quest for sovereignty fueling tension and clashes over

israeli settlements on the west bank. and archie's close up team travels to russia's black sea coast to see how the popular resort is attracting growing numbers of dairy water sports fans. to me out of the russian capital you're watching our marina joshie leaders from the asia pacific region are gathering for a summit in sunny hawaii but the dark clouds of european financial turmoil thousands of miles away are likely to dominate proceedings that weekend gathering is focused on establishing a pacific wide free trade zone but the euro crisis and its implications are set to muddy the blue pacific waters i guess you took in a report from honolulu. basically even though the primary primary goals of the

apec summit are improving the trade relationship an economic relationship all the countries that make up the asia pacific because of the extent of the european financial crisis this is certainly a headache that's looming over leaders having gathered here and many are seeing this as sort of a continuation of the g twenty summit without the participation of the european states we are expecting the leaders gathered for the apec summit to send another push to send an extra message to the european countries to try to find to step up their attempts to improve the financial situation so this is an extra message important message that we're expecting to hear a lot of about here on the ground in the next few days to come even though the the top of the talk and the substance of the effect summit is usually traditionally economic issues certainly political issues are surfacing we've been hearing because of the situation in syria where anti-government clashes have been just really attracting so many headlines as we have heard from u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton saying that the united states believes that the

syrian president should step down regarding syria we discuss the ongoing and escalating violence perpetrated by the assad government against its own people our position is clear we are supporting peaceful transition assad has lost his legitimacy to rule and he should step down russia on the other hand believes that it's important to take two for negotiations to take place and it says that it intends to help and kick starting those talks inside syria the russian foreign minister has spoken and said that he believes that it's it's the only responsible thing to do some opposition groups see clearly there's ways in the u.s. . calls for dialogue which just position can be me this is just to continue to encourage field position to small constructions leads to and to show concern about these countries. institutionally russia believes its import. to avoid the libyan scenario when it comes to syria but this is certainly not the only political issue

that is being touched upon here on the ground we are expecting a meeting between the russian and u.s. presidents to take place where they're very likely to discuss the u.s. plans for a european missile defense shield as well as russia's accession to the world trade organization and those really a range of other political issues so definitely a lot on the agenda here in honolulu the situation reporting there and we'll be bringing you more from honolulu throughout the day as the summit there unfolds. italy could welcome a new prime minister and government as early as saturday after a final vote on a steer the finalizers the exit of silvio berlusconi well the most likely successor is a former euro graph leading to some public concern that the influence of brussels will be at the very center of national politics let's now cross to the server of the spalding discourse in rome so sarah berlusconi aramaic officially and as soon as today and how do the tines feel about that. well there's certainly

a sense in the country at the moment that not only is change needed but it's been a long day that year we saw that reflected in the market and international loss of confidence this week in italy the austerity measures are expected to get final approval stay in the lower house of parliament we saw them pass reasonably easily through the senate yesterday the prices. being such quick reaction to this because the m.p.'s we've been speaking to here said the italy is now absolutely desperate to send a very strong signal that they're able to get the situation under control now of the measures i get that a preview today that would then of course pave the way for the resignation of prime minister berlusconi as he promised. the money he's being paid to the maybe to take the top spot is a month he now he's not only a respected economist here in the country but he's also the former e.u. commissioner and as we've seen in greece with the appointment to the top spot

before me e.c.b. official you know very montes if you're a crack in a system inside and out at that appointment would certainly please. there is concern about whether that would gain public support for his there is a question mark whether an unelected government is going to have credibility whether a caretaker government can garner that public support they still have to pass a very harsh austerity measures and we've seen rioting in the past in the country over these measures and the loss of serenity is also another concern with what would be seen as cross extending its influence in national politics now that public support as you said is absolutely vital because implementing these are starting measures having in you had coming up with a caretaker government is not going to be enough certainly if everything goes ahead this weekend without any glitches in italy will have won a passel but they still have a war on their hands and it's a war that the entire usa. there has to face and that's just how you bring long

term sustainable solutions to kick start stagnating economies like italy. thanks very much indeed for bringing us as our date from rome sara furthur. the changes in italy and greece were instigated in brussels and show that used and see the words there and that's the view of john locke one director of studies at the paris institute of democracy and cooperation these people who have taken power in greece and shortages are in italy have never been elected these are men who made their entire careers through garnering important appointment and. commission or the european social they have no democratic mandate at all and precisely what is so frightening about what is most of the european union and the euro enters its death agonies because that's what i think it is is the way in which the european union

really is showing and i'm so this without any exaggeration it's true nature is a dictatorship after all it is europe which has effectively commanded these two prime ministers to leave office and you had to leave office the moment you suggested a referendum on the package and berlusconi had to leave office the moment he said that italians would become poor under the euro so we're seeing really a very ugly development in europe where people are being put in power because they serve the interests and the demands of the european union not because they have gone at any and electoral support in their home countries and they only need to bail outs from the european union because they don't have the option of people really don't have the option of managing their own economic and monetary affairs it's precisely europe has got them into this situation. and as always nascar there is a theory that our are there are unique take on all the latest twists and turns of the debt crisis saga thought kaiser report is coming your way later today. every time

the eurozone creates a dollar or euro instead they create a hundred euros in naked short sells they'll never going to win that war but the fact is that the tail is wagging the economic and financial dog around the world and we're totally powerless against an entrenched unlimited credit zero percent interest rates with the central banks at their bidding and politicians just basically lying down and doing nothing about it so this is the new world order. israeli forces have clashed with palestinian activists protesting against the confiscation of land across the west bank protesters hurled rocks at israeli troops who responded with tear gas and water cannon over a dozen demonstrators are reported to have been injured the situation in the area has been even more tansen usual following the palestinian bid for statehood and

membership at the un by the latest round of debate of the security council and in deadlock after members failed to reach agreement and us has been strongly opposed to the recognition of palestine and has been willing its veto power even palestinians to question washington's commitment to a two state solution in the middle east. the approach to the united nations is less about membership of problems in the united nations and more of challenging the worst in the ability to walk the walk over to speak paradigm what we're seeing is forty four years of the west specifically the united states making a case for two states but in the first real test of. his field to move it forward i believe that the u.s. foreign policy as it relates to this issue has been hijacked by you prove is really love inside u.s. politics and i don't believe united states is acting. it's interests by ignoring

this big which is exactly in line with what it has been calling for not only for forty four years but for twenty intense years of not bilateral negotiations the palestinians having given twenty years to negotiations with the israelis have come to the conclusion that they are not interested in allowing a state to emerge in palestine so we have tried negotiations israel has completely ignored its commitments so our president our bass basically is any a a a a a first for his political survival he cannot continue to sell to his people if and collapse peace process and i think that's one way of nations. so i have for you this hour here in our two decade search for justice. under our water two hundred fifty thousand served on the no brains were. a senior possible official

goes on trial for atrocities against serbs during the ninety's war we talk to former nato officer who says the law is equally to blame for ethnic cleansing. people or get a little crazy with being having a worry about every word they say. he travels to the core of the big apple to find out whether people there are tired of political correctness or modern necessity. be monotonic watchdog has released letters and satellite images that allegedly back up its reports suggesting iran's nuclear program is military aims but to iran's chief found boy to the agency dismissed the findings saying the presentation was based on material fabricated by the u.s. and its allies earlier. from the university of southern california told r.t. the i.a.e.a. report contains more politics and evidence. the tone of the report of the agency

has moved more decisively political directions for example. there as mohamed el baradei did former director never talked about united nations security council resolutions and only talked about the technical issues at hand the new the new reports by one or lead a year brings out the political issues right out front the evidence that it presents actually not very convincing a lot of it is a speculation the report itself uses the board's alleged everywhere it uses there was cool maybe might possibly could have been things of that sort so in that sense. reports and tone have moved in a very decisively political direction which in my view actually here's the credibility of our year because as a as i said the task of the agency is not to talk about political issues i'll leave

them alone for united nations security council and international community around there just talk about the technical issues. and remember you can always find more stories on our website including firing go wall street pull your police detained to flounce while nearby their accomplices rest of america or attempt to track the beast a tangent sold on their website r.t. dot com to see how the survive and the. dream destination british robin reader offers a one hundred twenty percent safe trip to a war ravaged iraq promising the journey will put a smile on your face check out the price on our website.

and president of case a senior costs one politician has gone on trial in pristina for atrocities against serbian civilians during the cost of war in the late ninety's even though he had been tough tried and acquitted by the hague war crimes tribunal the e.u. led prosecution claims fought nearly marsh and eight other military officers tortured and killed serbs christian cars former nato officer writing a book as an apology to the serbian people told r.t. the airlines should also be held responsible. in cost of all. we basically took charge of the whole secure thank you very. and there are what two hundred fifty thousand serbs a normal danes were ethnically cleansed from the territory because of. so we went to war nato gave very harsh conditions. we basically gave them the our.

or you would have to accept unconditional. use of roads airports and. in order to facilitate. infrastructure so this was basically the occupation. and. like any sovereign nation. it was not a bargain and instead of being nato powers all over their parents. it's a common complaint across the world political correctness has gone too far so artes and lowering our fitness to central new york to ask people whether there's just too much to talk about in public. a recent poll indicated that people are starting to feel like political correctness is having a negative affect them for society how do you feel about it this week let's talk

about that it's been carried overboard people were getting a little crazy with being having to worry about every word they say whether it's actually politically correct or not if you live in this country you should be politically correct because this is your country what does that mean that is so you have to censor what you say you should think about what you say you should you should take time to use the correct words before you say something that you don't mean us and i mean we've got thing in england where comedians have been pulled up on political correctness where i think you just got to realize special of comedy. just you know everyone is going to be offended by something and i just think there's always to be someone who looked for something to complain about my generation we don't really care we just laugh it's funny it just the kinds of like generations accosting if you're talking smelly people and. you show some respect even if you know you don't completely think it's necessary it's different when you're young but when you start getting a bit older you realize that sometimes what comes out of your. it's refreshing to

see somebody like chris christie from new jersey closer that speaks his mind regardless of what the consequences are versus always being worried of people who think what the poll numbers show so you'd rather be offended and at least have the truth yes very much so whether or not you feel like political correctness is having a negative effect on society the bottom line is it's probably just going to keep becoming more and more prevalent. thousands of women and the disputed region of kashmir have seen their husbands literally disappear leaving them to live with the loss of a wad one but even harder to live in a society which shuns women left without a man to have a family explains. gun firing grenades becoming a familiar sight for the people living on this disputed land that is currently

rules by india but his also been claimed by neighboring pakistan but beyond that in the background of the conflict the women of kashmir have been silently suffering more than fifteen hundred in the area are estimated to be in a limbo status known as half widows these women's husbands have disappeared leaving them in a male dominated society with little government protection because they cannot confirm whether their men are dead or alive it has been seven years and we still don't know where he is i have small children i have to beg sometimes to feed them no. they don't even have warm clothes and shoes they come john lives in the mountains of srinagar with her five children she has been unable to hold down a steady job and had to take her else's children out of school so they could go to work or when her husband disappeared the indian government says that in the past two decades of the kashmir conflict between three and four thousand people have gone missing victims advocates say that number is really close thirty eight

thousand the indian government maintains that many of the people who have disappeared actually joined the militants the other is believe that thousands have been captured by indian security forces after their husbands go missing many halfway toes are abandoned by their in-laws and most of these women were living on the property of their husbands families and surviving on ration cards provided in their husband's name because of social stigma many believe that is unacceptable to remarry or live with a male relative who might be able to help most women say that it's the psychological and emotional trauma of not knowing where their loved one is that is the most unbearable mentally very disturbing it's an intense and incurable disease like cancer the woman who suffers from it is weighs in a state of restlessness and panic they say they just want answers especially for their children who are constant reminders of their missing partners they were very

small when their father who disappeared had he been alive he would have gone in these seven years if they had even given us his dead body we wouldn't be complaining attempting to make sense to stay strong for what remains of their broken families preassure either r t srinagar india now take a look at some other stories from around the world in terms of manuals have the carjack ferry and shot alone hijacker doherty say none of the eighteen passengers or crew members were hurt the vessel was seized a few hours ago by a suspected kurdish militants near the turkish city of a stamboul hijacker was reportedly armed with explosives bought and only demanded. two lebanese people were wounded when a landmine exploded on the lebanon syria border opposition activists claim government troops laid mines in the area to prevent army defectors and opponents of president bashar asad however authorities say they're trying to stop illegal arms

water sports the route the week hundreds of children and adults have been competing here in the black sea cup windsurfing trophy and it's hoped that with the right support this region could become a real center of water sports. it's the black sea cup in southern russia the waters full of jellyfish crissy full of waves and the wind whips the air with salty spray and that's just what everyone here has come for. children and adults have traveled from all over russia to show their skills and share in the growing water sports experience here and on is one of the best like that but when you write in your book at top speed your feelings still you have control of two forces of nature in your hands we need water. he's currently number two in russia and his skin the waves in european competitions because sport isn't cheap he's short of financial backing to

match that of his european and american competitors but he's hopeful for the black sea coast as a potential world class water sports center. this is a wonderful place with great when the infrastructure is ok but with some investments it could be good we had a freestyle competition here not long ago and we have hopes of hosting a world championship he'll be trying to win that championship i was just getting the hang of standing up i'm surrounded by hundreds of when of all ages behaving in the black sea it's evidence of the growing status of water sports here but i won't be joining them any time soon. and neither would i be taking part in even more tricky kitesurfing here too they have been battling it out to prove their speed and agility surrogate has been crowned number one in russia. there's a lot of adrenaline that's what it's all about tricks and a lot of adrenaline now it's easier to master trick you have to fall

a hundred times the black sea provides good conditions for this ball to. it's a difficult sport to master with many of these young writers taking years to reach that standard just let us know we have a number of good spots for arriving this wonderful day and on the other side of the black sea here in russia the season is short so we don't have much practice time on the water but the advantage of russia is we can snow kite. again it's money that's the problem for most kinds of now whether it's on the way to joining the list of the limping sports and that raises the profile of what is still a fledgling received in russia. do sport needs young people in ten years i want to see hundreds of kids causing here and then we'll be in good hands we'll have a future. a future that will be played out here in the surgeon blue of the biloxi tom watson r.t. . be back where we have our top story shortly sayers. in
