monteiro. just telling. me. the dynamic. leaders of the biggest pacific rim economies meeting in hawaii pledged to prevent the european debt crisis from spreading to the region and it triggering yet another global recession. and eurozone members hope for rescue late with china recent polls suggest us at it used to be asian giant are growing increasingly hostile and also. we're seeing really a very ugly develop. where people are being lazy because least serves the interests of the demands of the european union concern about the growing influence of brussels over edu member states as greece and now italy look to choose prime

minister based on the support of europe and not all the people. debate over the palestinian bid for statehood ends with a deadlock at the un security council in the quest for sovereignty fuelling tension and clashes over israeli settlements on the west bank. a very warm welcome here this is r.t. live from moscow with me wrong reception leaders from the asia pacific region are gathering for a summit in sunny hawaii in the dark clouds of european financial turmoil thousands of miles away likely to dominate proceedings that weekend gathering is focused on establishing a pacific wide free trade zone for the euro crisis and its implications are set to ninety at the building pacific waters and. reports from one hundred.

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 konami 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 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 brush 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 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 gone along just position can be needed. we will continue to encourage the opposition to structures leads to show concern about their country

and the syrians he. believes it's import. to avoid the libyan scenario when it comes to syria but this is certainly not the only political issue that is being touched on 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 a whole is really a range of other political issues so there's not only a lot on the agenda here in honolulu. he's an associate you're going to report right there from one of the summit is being held near one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world. tweets from one of lulu aloha spirit is ruling the gathering she's particularly impressed with the undercover special agents are dressed to the nine in their floral hawaiian shirts and flipflops who are trying to casually patrol the beach was father was an aussie on a school called for more firsthand impressions of the. china which is holding

a huge cash reserves may offer the best chance of help for debt stricken countries but the rise of the asian giant with his financial night is not being met with open arms by the u.s. . to set up explains. we know we. may but we think it's. so easy to. come to the boss and. jen zag i'm going to. 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 concerned might be the right word for it and

angelina isn't the only one a 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 happy 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 chibi 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 in reaching china with our money 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 woio doesn't have to be us or them and isn't buying it the world's 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 i think even 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 where he comes from from the u.s. about china well there you have it it seems china is the new kid on the economic block and it's up to the you us and the west to see how they deal with reporting from washington and i can set a party. dr caroline hellman from the occidental college in los angeles says that china may become the new enemy but only 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 how diverse talking about china as an enemy i do think that it

fills that notion of having something to oppose in order to do that resilience nationalist 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 the only one at the top 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 and watching r.t. still ahead for you this hour our very own team travel to russia's black sea see how the popular resort is attracting growing numbers of daring brokers. plus. people who are getting a little crazy with being in heaven to worry about every little word they say he travels to the core of the big apple to find out whether people there are tired of political correctness or find it to be

a modern necessity. that's good have you with us here on our team now italy could welcome a new prime minister and government as early as saturday that's after a final vote on austerity seals the exit of silvio berlusconi the most likely successor is a former euro crash it into 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 man he's being paid to the maybe it's a take the top spot is. he now he's not only a respected economist here in the country but he's also the former commissioner and

as we've seen increases the appointments the top spot for me e.c.b. official you know. 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 really that is what's happening again be 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 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 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 of their 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. like that what are the changes in italy and greece in brussels and show the tendency towards dictatorship that's the view of the rector of studies of the paris institute of democracy and cooperation. these people who have taken power in greece and shorted to take hour in italy have never been elected these are men who have made their entire careers through garnering important appointments in 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 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 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 drew had to leave office the moment he suggested a referendum on the debt package posed goony 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 of the demands of the european union not because they have gone at any and electoral support in their home countries and they only need bailouts from the european union because they don't have the option of people really need don't have the option of managing their own economic and monetary affairs it's precisely europe that has gotten into this situation. and as always our last kaiser and stacy have it offer that rather unique take on all the latest twists and turns of that crisis saga for kaiser report coming your way they said today here are.

every time the eurozone creates a dollar or euro in stimulus they create a hundred euros in naked short sells will 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 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. washouts he like a mosque are now it's ready forces have clashed with palestinian activists protesting against the conversation of land across the west bank protesters held rocks at israeli troops who then responded with tear gas and water cannons over a dozen demonstrators are reporters who have been injured at this point the

situation in the area has been even more tense than usual lately are following the palestinian bid for statehood and full battleship at the u.n. but the latest round of debate at the security council ended in deadlock the members failed to reach an agreement the u.s. has been strongly opposed to the recognition of palestine and has been wielding its veto power is leaving palestinians to question why washington's commitment to the two state solution in 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 in the ability to walk the walk of a true state paradigm what we're seeing is forty four years of the west specifically the united states making the case for speeds but in the first real test of bringing two states about has failed to move it forward i believe that the u.s. foreign policy as it relates to this issue has been hijacked by

a prude israeli lobby 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 not only for forty four years but for twenty intense years of not bilateral negotiations the palestinians have been given twenty years to look goofy ations 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 bass basically is a if pressed 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 the united nations. now quarter past the hour here in the russian capital to remember you can always find more stories on our website including for example of fighting the wall street bull

new york police detain two clowns well nearby their accomplice dressed as a master door to attract the beasts attention to the going to see how this fight came to an end also. a dream destination a british tour operator offers a one hundred twenty percent safe trip to war ravaged iraq promising the journey will put a big fat smile on your face and check out the price on our website. but it's a common complaint all across the world political correctness has gone too far so we sent laurie half an inch to central new york to ask the people there whether they just think that you can't really say too much and public. a recent poll indicated that people are starting to feel like political correctness

is having a negative impact them for 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 well if you live in this country you should be politically correct because this is your country what does that mean that say 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 go thing in england where comedians are being pulled up on political correctness where i think you just got to realize special of comedy. you know everyone's going to be offended by something and i just think there's always going to be someone who would look for something to complain about my generation we don't really cat we just laugh it's funny so it just depends if like generations accosting 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

young but when you start getting a bit older you realize that sometimes what comes out of your man is not a. 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 that people are going to think what the poll numbers show that you'd rather be offended in at least half 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. with the business and not just a few minutes from now but for the meantime i think some of the international headlines for you in turkey the number of people killed in the earthquake that hit the city on wednesday is now thirty to forty two just. thousands of other supreme pulled alive from hotels that collapse when the trouble

struck the quake is a second tour of the area in just a fortnight with over six hundred people killed. two lebanese people were wounded when a landmine exploded on the level on the syrian border opposition activists claim government troops laid mines in the area to prevent army defectors and opponents of president bashar al assad from fleeing the author who say they are trying to stop illegal arms and weapons smuggling which has stalled in recent months but. nearly forty people have been injured after unseen mining protests turned violent and progress of the clash are hundreds the nation's mining and agriculture minister refused to sign a pledge to bad mining in the region eighteen thousand protesters came out to complain that rivers are being polluted something the government continues to deny . and i do a little bit later here on r t we look inside the situation of health care in america and a potentially harmful products being used every day for our quick preview of our

coming special report. in care in the u.s. that it is legal for you to get a bubble bath and your baby they contain a known carcinogen something that causes cancer most of the sharon government put in because they are sponsored by the industry and most of the guys they've known creates a conflict of interest today an average cancer drug prescription costs nearly one thousand six hundred dollars a month oh my god when nobody was canceling my five therefore i predict. because the nature of ninety five percent of cancers birth people with health family 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. and members of congress.
