leaders of the biggest pacific rim economies media hawaii have pledged to prevent the european debt crisis from spreading to the region and triggering an outer global recession. and while some eurozone hopes for a rescue lay with china recent polls suggest u.s. attitudes to the asian giant are growing increasingly hostile also. we're seeing really very. closely the interest in the demands of the european union concern add the growing influence of

brussels old were you member states as greece and now ilya look to choose the prime minister is based on the support of the work of the people. and if they don't work palestinian statehood bid and so a deadlock at the un security council with the quest for sovereignty fueling tension and classes over israeli settlements on the west bank. what you are going to live from moscow in the marina joshie leaders from the asia pacific region are gathering for a summit in saudi you know why by the dark clouds of european financial turmoil thousands of miles away are likely to dominate proceedings so we can gather 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 just as you're going to 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 really attracting

so many headlines as we have heard from the 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 pressure 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 him 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 can see clearly there's no use in turkey and the u.s. . has done little which just position can be needed just we will continue to encourage the opposition to structures leads to them to show concern about their country and

disagreeing 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 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 always really a range of other political issues so differently a lot on the agenda here in honolulu and i see you're going to reporting there and there is more on what russia is bringing to the summit coming up in our business before. russia says it hopes to improve ties with asian countries to preserve global economic stability and business bulletin presidential aide thank you for quote outlines the key issues. china is holding huge cash reserves may offer or the best chance of help for debt stricken countries but the rise of the asian giant with its financial might is not met with open arms by the

u.s. as if we are in cerro explains. we. would you please tell. me what we can see the season one year into she said he. wants. gen zach i'm going to get warm and go. into 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 a raid of china but i do think that we should be concerned well concerned might be the right word for it and angelina isn't the only one on march twentieth 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 cheated this is no longer a time for us to sit back and say we're going to let them steal our jobs we need to do is start out in reaching china with our money i want to be 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 isn't buying it the world 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 think of it in

a business sense that it can all make sense was countries to just work with china as any other country so yeah i don't know whether it 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 us and asked to see how they deal with reporting from washington and i can say r.t. . dr caroline hellman from occidental college in los angeles has china may become the new anime for politicians in washington. china becomes this very convenient target we need an enemy right the cold war is over terrorism doesn't provide a concrete enemy for the united states to confront someone we hear these republicans and others talking about china as an enemy i do think that it fills that notion of having something to oppose in order to do the resilience of nationalism and again i find i take issue with that nationalism but at the same

time i think it's good for the u.s. to have competitors it's never good for a global superpower to be the only one at the top or seems to because then they act with impunity and i believe at various points in u.s. history we have seen the evidence of that i think having china in the mix will be very positive for social political relations still and for you this hour here on our t.v. do you suppose a few travels through russia's black sea coast to see how the popular resort is attracting growing numbers of daring water sports fans plus. people are getting a little crazy with being in every word every word they say party travels to the corner of the big apple to find out whether people there are tired of political correctness or find it in a modern assassinate. italy could well come and new prime minister and government as early as saturday after

a final vote on a spirit you finalize is the exit of cilia a most likely successor is a former you are crap 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 none of the measures get the preview today though that of course paved 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 very 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 increases the appointments the top spot for the e.c.b. official you know very montes your nasal system inside and out that appointment would certainly these processes but there is concern about whether that would gain

public support because there is a question mark really of whether an unelected government is going to have credibility what you're seeing now is an extension of brussels in the sense if you really that is what's happening again b m p's that we're speaking to is saying that this technocratic government now is really good it is showing through these harsh measures just getting them off the ground because they've been long promised and have failed to materialize 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 clinches in italy will have won a passel but they still have a war in the hands and it's a war that the entire usa now has to face and that's just how you bring long term sustainable solutions to kick start stagnating economies like italy's first

reporting there and other changes in italy and greece were instigated and brussels and shell the e.u. has tendency towards the taper ship that's the view of john locke and director of studies have 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 an important appointment 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 now 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 eight hundred it's true nature as a dictatorship after all it is europe which has effectively commanded these two prime ministers to leave office and really had to leave office the moment he suggested a referendum on the day package transposed 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 garnered 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. and as always max kaiser and stacy herbert offer their unique take on all the latest twists and turns of the debt crisis saga of all kinds of reports coming your way in about twenty minutes time. every time the euro zone creates a dollar or euro instead they create a hundred euros in naked short sellers 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 copper city with unlimited

credit and 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 was 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 it's handstand usual following the palestinian bid for statehood and full membership at the un but the latest round of debate at the security council and dad block after members fail to reach agreement u.s. has been strongly opposed to the recognition of palestine and has been willing its veto power leaving palestinians to question washington's commitment to

a two state solution and the middle east. the approach to the united nations is less about membership of palestine in the united nations and more of challenging the west and 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 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 lovely inside u.s. politics and i don't believe the united states is acting in its interests by ignoring this big which is exactly in line with what it has been calling for you know running for forty four years but for twenty intense years of new bilateral negotiations the palestinians having given twenty years to negotiations with these

really is have come to the conclusion that they are not interested in allowing a state to emerge in palestine so we've tried negotiations israel has completely ignored its commitments so this is a bass basically is a. if thrust for his political survival he cannot continue to sell to his people a food and collapse peace process and i think that's one nations and mary can always find more stories on our website including fighting the wall street bull new york police detain two clowns while your by their accomplice dressed as a matter of the word tampa to track these satanic ontario calm to see how the sky and also. at green destination british tour operator offers a one hundred twenty percent save trip to war ravaged iraq promising the journey

mean us and i mean we've got a thing in england where comedians are being political 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 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 across if you're talking to 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 god but when you start getting a bit older you realize that sometimes what comes out of your man 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 that people are going to think what the poll numbers show so you'd rather be offended in 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 take a look at some other stories from around the world turkish commandos have stormed a hijacked ferry and shot a alone hijacker authorities say no eighteen passengers or crew members were hurt the vessel was seize a few hours ago by suspected kurdish militants nearest ample hijacker was reportedly armed with explosives but had only demand of food and fuel. q lebanese were wounded when a landmine exploded on the lebanon syria border office and 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. near 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 thousands. complain that rivers are being polluted something the government strongly denies. later we take a deeper look inside health care in america and a potentially harmful products being used every day so here's a preview of what's to come our special report in just over an hour's time. in canada and the us that it is legal for you to use a bubble bath on your baby that contains a known carcinogen something that causes cancer most of the time to most independent they are sponsored by industry and most of the price they go not places a call for coffee first then average cancer drug prescription costs nearly one thousand six hundred dollars a month oh my god but nobody with cancer and my father is there for my particular

focus because of the nature of ninety five percent of cancers heard from people with self funding history of cancer the pharmaceutical industry spends about fourteen percent of their budget on research and development and about thirty one percent for marketing and ministration. in fact there are more pharmaceutical industry lobbyists in washington d.c. than members of congress. time after all russia closer series and today we're hitting the beach. 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 artie's tom barton discovered it. slowly the

old soviet resorts on russia's black sea coast are becoming centers for very modern water sports the route the week hundreds of children and adults of be 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 a 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 the growing water sports experience here and on is one of the best that. when you write in your top speed your feelings saw you have control of two forces of nature in your hands we know in water. he's currently number two in russia and his skin 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 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 service of all ages behaving in the black sea it doubles of the growing status of water sports here but 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 adrenaline as well it's all about tricks and a lot of adrenaline now it's easier it's a massive trip you have for a full one hundred times the black sea provides a 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. 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 of 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 limp exports and that raises the profile of what is still a fledgling perceived in russia. sport needs young people in ten years i want to see hundreds of kids kiting here 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. . is this is next with korea. hello and welcome to our business i'll play the south thanks for joining me they have some of the world's largest financial institutions are in moscow discussing the main challenges facing the global financial system and meeting has paid to spare banks hundred and seventy fifth anniversary correspondent i mean a closer i have to tell hugh the experts here today couldn't help but address the financial turmoil in europe and how it might effect the loss of the head of scourge banks and i think the stance over the adequacy all the policy of the people regulators saying that they're seriously yes but then the financial sector by making european banks are right and that's why increasing capital requirements and that's what we've spoken to the so-called dr doom all the global economy masoud rule would be to set up the situation the euro zone could have
