growing numbers of daring watersports. eleven am in the russian capital you're watching r t joshie leaders from the asia pacific region are gathering for a summit in sunnier why but the dark clouds of european financial turmoil sounds of miles away are likely to dominate proceedings that weekend gathering is focused on establishing a pacific wide free trade zone but you're a crisis and its implications are set to the blue pacific waters are he's an associate you're getting reports from honolulu. basically even though the primary primary goals of the apec summit are improving the trade relationship and 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 top topic 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 really attracting so many headlines that 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 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 the only responsible thing to do so most decisions routes particularly those were used in turkey and the u.s. . just position can be me this is just we will continue to encourage field position to small constructive leads to and to show concern about this country and the syrian people of the state with 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 as well as really a range of other political issues so definitely a lot on the agenda here in honolulu this is what you're going to reporting there from honolulu and will be bringing you more from honolulu throughout the day as the summit the year unfolds. italy could welcome a new prime minister and government as early as saturday after a final vote in the steerage finalizes the exit of silvio berlusconi the most likely successor is a former you're a grad leading to some public concern that the influence of brussels will be at the very center of national politics. has more from rome. the m.p.'s we've been speaking to here has that 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 at the moment to take the top spot is very a moment he now he's not only

a respected economist here in the country but he's also the former commissioner as we've seen in greece with the appointment to the top spot for the e.c.b. official you know mario monti's a euro crap you know a system inside and out that appointment would certainly please brussels but there is concern about whether that would gain public support because there is a question of whether an unelected government is going to have credibility what you're seeing now is an extension of brussels in the sense that surely that is what's happening again the m.p.'s that we're speaking to is saying that this technocrat government now is really good at just pushing three these harsh measures just getting them off the ground because they've been long promised and have failed to materialize and we've seen rioting in the past in the country over these measures now that public support as we said is absolutely vital because implementing these are starting measures having a new head coming up with

a caretaker government is not going to be enough certainly if everything goes ahead this weekend without any glitches and italy will have won a battle but they still have a war on their hands and it's a war that the entire eurozone now has to face and that's just how you bring long term sustainable solutions to kick start stagnating economies like it's least. sarah first before now the changes in italy and greece were instigated in brussels and show that you used tendency towards dictatorship 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 shortly to take our in italy have never been elected these are men who have made their entire careers through garnering important appointments in cases like the european commission or the european central bank and they have no democratic mandate at all and precisely what is so frightening about what is happening in not that as 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 say this without any exaggeration it's true nature as a dictatorship after all it is europe which has effectively commanded these two prime ministers to leave office and drew had to leave office the moment he suggested a referendum on the day package photos goni had to leave office the moment he said that italians had become poor under the euro so we're seeing really a very ugly development now in europe where people are being put in power because they serve the interests of the demands of the european union not because they have gone at any and electoral support in their home countries they only need to bailouts from the european union because they don't have the option of devaluation they don't have the option of managing their own economic and monetary affairs it's precisely europe that has got them into this situation and as always max kaiser instating however are for their unique take on all the latest twists and turns of the debt crisis for kaiser report is coming your way later today. every time

the eurozone creates a dollar or euro in stimulus they create a hundred euro's 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 called takhar see with 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 cannons over a dozen demonstrators our borders have been injured the situation in the area has been even more chance than usual following the palestinian bid for statehood and

full membership at the un but the latest round of data at the security council and in deadlock after members failed to reach agreement has been strongly opposed to the recognition of palestine has been wielding its power leaving palestinians to question washington's commitment to a two state solution. 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. what we're seeing is forty four years of the west specifically the united states making a case for two speeds but in the first real test of bringing to speak about has failed to move 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 that it is. it is acting in its 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 new 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 president abass basically is in 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 why he took it to united nations. so i have for you this hour a two decade search for just. under our war

two hundred fifty thousand served. as senior costs of an official goes on trial for atrocities against serbs during the ninety's war we talked to a former nato officer who says the blog is really to blame for ethnic cleansing plus. or you know a little crazy would be having to worry about every word they say. he travels to the core of the big apple to find out whether people here are tired of political correctness or find it a modern necessity. the u.n. atomic watchdog has released letters and satellite images that allegedly back up its report suggesting iran's nuclear program has military but to iran's chief and boy to the agency dismissed the findings saying the presentation was based on material fabricated by the u.s. and its allies earlier mohamad so he me from the university of southern california told r.t. the i.a.e.a.

report contains more politics than evidence. the tone of the reports of the agency has moved more decisively political directions for example. there as moderate abroad a day of former director never talked about united nations security council resolutions and only talked about the technical issues at hand the new the new report by. a year brings out the political issues that france the evidence that it presents actually not very convincing a lot of it is a speculation the report itself uses the boards alleged everywhere it uses the word coup may be might possibly could have been things of that sort so in that sense the our. reports and tone have moved in a very decisively political direction which in my view actually has the credibility of i.a.e.a. because as

a as i said the task of the agency is not to talk about political issues and leave them alone for united nations security council and the international community and rather just talk about the technical issues. and remember you can always find more stories on our website including finding the wall street bull new york police detained two clowns while nearby their accomplice dressed as a matter dorothy and the tear tracked the beasts attention to log on to urge you to home to see how this fight ended. in a dream destination a british tour operator offer as a one hundred twenty percent safe trip to war ravaged iraq promising the journey will put a smile on your face check out the prices on our website. the

news today violence is once again flared up. in these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. showing corporations rule the day. the official. called touch from the dumpster. on the good. video on demand. now in the palm of your. machine. in an unprecedented case a senior cost of one politician has gone on trial in person now for atrocities against serbian civilians during the cost of war in the late ninety's even though

he had been tried and acquitted by the hague war crimes tribunal the e.u. led prosecution claim spot nearly march and eight other military officers tortured and killed serbs christian current say former nato officer who is writing a book as an apology to the serbian people told r.t. the alliance should also be held responsible in cost of all. we basically took charge of the whole security situation and there are water two hundred fifty thousand serbs a normal beings were ethnically cats from the territory of course of. so we went to war nato gave very harsh conditions with dog we basically gave them the option either receive bombing or you would have to accept the unconditional. use of roads airports and the port in order to facilitate the nato

infrastructure so this was basically an occupation or. like any sovereign nation. bombing instead of accepting nato powers all over the territory it's a common complaint across the world political correctness has gone too far so r t santorum harshness to central new york to ask people whether there is just too much you can talk about in public. a recent poll indicated that people are starting to feel like political correctness is having a negative effect emphasized how do you feel about it this week let's talk about that it's being carried overboard people are 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 is that so you can 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 and i mean we've got a thing in england where comedians have been pulled off on political correctness where i think you've just got to realize specially with comedy just loosen up you know everyone is going to be offended by something and i just think there's always going to be someone who looks for something to complain about my generation we don't really we just laugh it's funny but it just depends if like generations accosting if you're talking to people then yeah 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 math is not a pearl. it's refreshing to see somebody like chris christie from new jersey cause he speaks his mind regardless of what the consequences are versus always being

worried if people are going to 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. now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world turkish commandos have stormed a hijack ferry and shot a lone hijacker authorities say none of the eighteen passengers or. crew members were hurt the vessel was seized a few hours ago by suspected kurdish militants the turkish city obvious stamboul hijacker was reportedly armed with but had only demanded food and fuel. to 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 and weapons smuggling which has soared in recent months. nearly forty people have been injured after anti mining protests turned violent in the clash happened as the nation's mining and every culture minister refused to sign a pledge to ban mining in the region eighty thousand protesters came out to complain that rivers are being polluted something the government strongly denies. all time now for our russia close up series and today we're hitting the beach. while we're on the black sea which has long been a popular holiday resort for russians however the region is now becoming a hub for daring action watersports as i discovered. slowly

the old soviet resorts on russia's black sea coast are becoming centers for very modern water sports throughout 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 for water sports. it's the black sea cup in southern russia the waters full of jellyfish the sea full of waves and the wind whips the air with salty spray and that's just what everyone here has come fall back 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 that. when you ride in your board at top speed your feelings saw you have control of two forces of nature in your hands wind in water. he's currently number two in russia in his skin

the waves in european competitions his sport isn't cheap and 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 a great wind the infrastructure is ok but with some investment 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 wind service of all ages behaving in the black sea cup if the evidence of the growing status of water sports here but that i won't be joining them any time soon. but 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 a. dryland that's what it's all about tricks and a lot of adrenaline now is easier but to master trick you have to fully one hundred times the black sea provides good conditions for this sport too. it's a difficult sport to master with many of these young riders taking years to reach this standard yet we have a number of good spots for riding 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 kite surfing now however it's on the way to joining the list of the lympics sports and that raises the profile of what is still a fledgling perceived in russia. or to sport needs young people in ten years i want to see hundreds of kids kiting here and then we'll be in good hands we'll have a future. a future that will be played out here in the surging blue of the black

sea tom watson r.t. . and time now to find out what's going on in the world of business korea now ghana's here with us. hello and welcome to our business bulletin and thanks for joining me the heads of some of the world's largest financial institutions are in moscow discussing the main challenges facing the global financial system is very bad as hosting the gathering on its hundred seventeenth anniversary all correspondent joins us live from that conference hello to marina so what's the main purpose of this gathering at what's being discussed right now. i can remember bold russians the biggest lender is a look into the future today trying to figure out the changes that like to see and how they can achieve them by twenty twenty while we have local as well as international specialists and businessmen and they're discussing this how to

a lot of gas because of the inefficiency if you could see to it that this gas isn't lost you've got quite a lot of gas extra to put onto the market and russia hopes to improve ties with the asian partners as it attends the nineteenth annual asian pacific economic cooperation summit presidential aide arkady dvorkovich outlines the key issues for russia. i would like to see the interest in our integrated integration projects in the. area risk countries participating more actively in dialogue this customs union. and this concert is. a good compliment to the efforts all undertaken to preserve global economic stability in the global economy groves also would like to put forth our upcoming could send for the next year apec meeting. in with us talk. into our interests will be
