over palestinian statehood bid and was down blocking out the un security council with a quest for sovereignty fuelling tension and clashes a resume really settlements on the west bank. what you are you coming to live from moscow i'm marina josh 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 and we can 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 are jesus is here to work in the reports 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 top of the 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 just 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 more positions groups particularly those ways in turkey and the u.s. any calls for dialogue which 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 it's important 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 are 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. i see it you're going to reporting there from honolulu well to discuss this further i'm joined now by professor john do assist and vassar from the chinese university of hong kong's rejoinder thank you very much for being with us here on the program well as you have just heard about the agenda of the some of the euro crisis of course is expected to come up there in hawaii and mainly because everyone expects china to get involved but talk us through the reasons why china would hand over cash to you or. i think i mean china. is considering contributing a bit to the rescue package if you are the two who promoted you to soft power and then you pull you to relations with the you but i guess i've critic that the

chinese reader is will contribute to the money to now so much i mean as a chick as a. gesture of good i mean a gesture of friendship to to the e.u. but to. the investment itself i mean you know european pop is. because of you that china. is a part of the european countries. well what's interesting though i mean now the attention is kind of going east towards for help i mean china is a member of the brics blog and also in the blog that's called the emerging markets so to speak but is it still justified to call this block emerging i mean call china emerging country or do you think it's time to change the terminology. a noise that's what i mean a change of the minority i mean china is still. emerging market economy and it has a lot how do you have to terms

a poor country faces an all powerful pressure before. you take on the mean for you social verify social safety net provision for its people its and its medical care system use the use. you know medicine it's a it's an education. and everything i mean here you term some social system it's anything up you know so so so the chinese people i mean in terms of the capital the tax revenue it's called revenue china is the only. proportion off that our fleet you know the us so it's a it's still too early to say that china has not have a great day south yet. well and also. just very briefly i mean was the eurozone in a financial turmoil how do you expect the financial landscape in the world to change in the next a couple of years. of course i mean. that into we

all contribute through the doing you're in power at the extremes of the e.u. and even the us to some extent and of course. china and they used age are reaching their own rising. also the brics countries where also rising you'd. want to see who are the economics of fear so that's what my prediction. ok professor john do from the chinese university of hong kong thanks very much indeed for sharing your views with us here in the program. well and as we have just heard it's beijing that may offer her the best chance of help for debt stricken countries but the rise of the asian giant with its financial might is not mad with open arms by the us is at zero explains. ways i'm not what you always was you know me obama maybe we

can't be so nice but what is on g twenty. one minutes of the boss and. she and sacramento to get warm and go. change the future you have to yikes ok let's just get right down to it shall we should we be afraid of china. well what other place in washington d.c. is chinatown to find out i don't think we have to be afraid of china but i do think that we should be concerned well i think concerned might be the right word for it and angelina isn't the only one how much twenty eleven b.b.c. poll shows that many in the west aren't exactly thrilled about china gaining more economic steam in the span of just five years negative attitudes towards china have skyrocketed with france germany italy the u.k. and the u.s.

on unhappy at the thought of china nipping at their heels and for the us nowhere is that clear that in the race to the white house china is on almost every dimension cheating this is no longer a time for us to sit back and say we're going to let them steal our jobs what we need to do is stop enriching china with our mani i want to beat china i want to go to war with china and make america the most attractive place in the world to do business woah woah whoa does it have to be us or them and is anyone buying it the world is changing you know so like the fact the fact that like china's economy is modernizing. isn't the reason why our economy is doing poorly right now. and so it's maybe just a straw man when. presidential candidates bring that up but they get in a big. the sensitive economics it's most countries to just work with china as any other country so yeah i don't know where the fear comes from from the us about

china well there you have it it seems china is the new kid on the economic block and it's up to the u.s. and the west to see how they deal with reporting from washington and montana said our party. russia is taking part in the apec summit more on that coming up in our business bulletin. russia says it hopes to improve ties with asian countries to preserve global economic stability business bulletin presidential. lines the key issues for russia. italy could welcome a new prime minister and government as early as saturday after a final vote on a sterile finalizes the exit of cilia berlusconi the most likely successor is a former eurocrat leading to some public concern that the influence of brussels will be add the very center of national politics are the sarah for of has more from rome. the m.p.'s we've been speaking to here have said the italy is now absolutely

desperate to send a very strong signal that they're able to get the situation under control now if the measures get that a preview today that would then of course pave the way for the resignation of prime minister berlusconi as he promised. the man he's being paid at the moment to take the top spot is 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 mario monti's a year of the 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 mark over 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 technocratic government now is really good it is pushing through 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 you 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 in 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 reporting there are now the changes in italy and greece were instigated in brussels and to show that you used hansie towards dictatorship massive you are 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 hour in italy have never been elected these are men who have made their entire careers

through garnering important appointments and places 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 now after 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 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 and the demands of the european union not because they have done it any and electoral support in their home countries they only need

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. well you want to know if you live from moscow still have for you this hour our teams loads of team travels through russia's black sea coast to see how the popular resort is attracting growing numbers of daring water sports fans. people are getting a little crazy with being having to worry about every word they say. and our t. travels to the core of the big apple to find out whether people are tired of political correctness or modern necessity. 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 tans than usual following the palestinian bid for statehood and full membership at the un but the latest round of debate at the security council and in dad log after members failed to reach agreement u.s. has been strongly opposed to the recognition of palestine and has been a wielding its veto power leaving 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 west's 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 states 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 a prude is really love inside us politics and i don't believe the united states is acting in its interests. 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're not interested in their lowing a state to emerge in palestine so we've tried negotiations israel has completely ignored its commitments so i presume a bass basically is in a first for his political survival he cannot continue to sell to his people. and collapse peace process and i think that's why he took it to nations and remember you can always find more stories in our website r.t.

is having a negative effect on society how do you feel about it this week let's talk about that it's been carried overboard. people are getting a little crazy with being having to worry about every little 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 us 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 look for something to complain about my generation we don't really we just laugh it's funny it just depends if like generations are crossing if you're talking to some elderly 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 this but sometimes what comes out of your math is not a pearl. 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 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 is take a look at some other stories from around the world turkish commandos have stormed a hijacked ferry and shot alone ninety back our authorities say none of the eighteen passengers or crew members were hurt the vessel was seized a few hours ago by a suspected kurdish militant near the turkish city of a stamboul. a hijacker was reportedly armed with explosives but had only demanded

food and fuel. to lebanese were one dead 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 fleeing 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 peru the clash happened as the nation's mining and agriculture minister refused to sign a pledge to ban mining in the region eighteen thousand protesters came out to complain that reverse are being polluted something the government strongly denies. you're watching and if you live from moscow and it's time now for our russia close up series and today we're hitting the beach.

well we are in 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 artie's dumbarton 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 for. children and adults have traveled from all over russia to show their skills and share in a growing water sports experience here and on is one of the best like that but when

you're writing 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 and has skimmed the waves in european competitions because 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 bathing in the black sea cup it's evidence of the growing status of water sports here but that they are i won't be joining them any time soon. and neither would i

be taking part in even more tricky kitesurfing here too they had been battling it out to prove their speed and agility surrogate has been crowned number one in russia. as a. a lot of adrenaline that's what it's all about tricks and a lot of adrenaline now it's easier but to master trick you have to full one hundred times the black sea you provide good conditions for this ball 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 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 kitesurfing 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. do 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 barton r.t. . well right now it's time for the business news with carrie and i can stay with us . it welcome to business for joining me they had sell some of the world's largest financial institutions are in moscow discussing the main challenges facing the global financial system the gathering is pegged to spare banks hundred and seventy fifth anniversary on the morning of course or joins us live from this and a conference hello again marina so what's the main purpose of this gathering and any interesting comments made so far. or going to be x. words here today could help but address the financial turmoil in europe and how

that might affect russia the head of sperm banks so that he was down to over the adequacy of the policy of european regulators say that they're making the harder for financial sectors like making european banks increase their debts right of debts but still increasing capital requirements of the economists we've spoken to says that the situation in the euro zone is him pleasure or russian could have a serious impact. here but the situation where that we call a result of them even more eurozone has gotten themselves the faults of the other day soon or even another structure for the fall that's on the line again to disappear for the companies or you are one or more members of the other such as the larger ones exit the euro zone that would be much larger than the result of the lots of lehman brothers in the fall of the other major mall the prices would fall sharply. within the russian russia system and the european financial system so some

reason for id the eurozone with the fact the sooner all these things europe all the way to russia. well on the lighter note businesses move here are also the skills and how to use the latest technology to manage complex processes and the large enterprises and for the first time in russia as burbank is using crowdsourcing. to generate ideas they're looking for new and innovative ideas from web users and they're asking them questions like what will the bank i am also look like inside the years and one million dollars has already been allocated supports that will come out of that and some of them include a social network to help older citizens with financial matters and another one is offering a secure service was storing online data now sperm bank is now being rated that's one see its strongest bank in the world the only also bank to make it into the rating so it's very important for the country to make sure it continues growing and
