the west bank. this is. with me. from the asia pacific region. in sunny hawaii with. the way likely to dominate proceedings the weekend gathering is focused on. free trade zone but the euro crisis and its implications are set to muddy the blue pacific waters and. reports from. 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 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 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 roots can see clearly in turkey and the u.s. . position can be me this is just we will continue to encourage field position to constructive leads to and to show concern about this country and the syrian people. 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 well as really a range of other political issues so definitely a lot on the agenda here in honolulu. he's an associate you're going to report there from honolulu where the summit is being held near one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world and as a boy tweets from honolulu aloha spirit is ruling the gathering she's particularly impressed with the undercover special agents dressed to the nine in their full hawaiian shirts and flipflops who are trying to casually patrol the preachers for the last of the under school come for more first time impressions of the summit. or china which is a holding cash reserves may offer the best chance of help for debt stricken countries but the rise of the asian giant with his financial might is not being met with open arms by the u.s. . who set up explains. we

know. maybe. it's. time the boss. she ends up going 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 on march twenty levin 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 the what we need to do is stop enriching 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 woah woah whoa does it have to be us or them and is anybody buying it the world is changing you know so like the fact the fact that like china's economy is modernizing. isn't there 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 it is in a business sense that it can all make sense most countries to just work with china

as any other country so yeah i don't know where the fear 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 u.s. and the west to see how they deal with reporting from washington and my genocidal party. meantime daughter caroline hellman from the occidental college in los angeles says that china may become the new enemy but only politicians and 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 this republican 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 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 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 what you know still ahead for you this. team travels to russia's black sea can see how the popular resort is attracting growing numbers of daring workers. plus. people who are getting 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 are tired of political correctness or find it to be a necessity. that's good have you with us here on our t.v. now italy could welcome a new prime minister and government as early as saturday this after

a final vote on austerity seal's the exit of silvio berlusconi the most likely successor is a former euro 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 said 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 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. 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. be official. 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 she will really that is what's happening again the m.p.'s that we're speaking to are saying that this technocrat 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 seem rioting in the past in the country over these measures now that public support as he 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.

one of the changes in italy and greece in brussels and show that you used tendency towards dictatorship that's the view of our john walker the 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 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 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 happen to you have to leave office the moment he suggested

a referendum on the day package and follows skinny had to leave office the moment he said that italians would become poorer 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 end electoral support in their home countries and 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 a nice keyser and stacey have put off of their rather unique take on all the latest twists and turns of the debt crisis saga for kaiser report coming your way later today here on our way. every time the eurozone creates a dollar or euro in stimulus 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 it and transcript ocracy 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 . watching from moscow 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 following the palestinian bid for statehood and full membership at the un 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 its leading palestinians to question 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 two state 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 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 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 i basked basically is in a 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 at the united nations. all right now quarter past the hour here in the russian capital to remember you can always find more stories on our website including for example the fighting the wall street bull new york police detain two clowns well nearby their accomplice dressed as a door. tracked the priest's attention to look on the r.t. dot com to see how this fight came to an end also. a dream destination

a british operator offers a one hundred twenty percent safe trip to a war ravaged iraq promising the journey will put a big fat smile on your face 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 to central new york to ask the people there whether they just think that you can't really say too much in public any. a recent poll indicated that people are starting to feel like political correctness 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 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 polled 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 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 that sometimes what comes out of your math is not a pearl. it's refreshing to see somebody like chris christie from new jersey because 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 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. with our table to business and not just a few minutes from now but for the meantime i think we'll have some other international headlines for you in turkey the number of people killed. on wednesday is now thirty two of the bodies of two local journalists were also one of those found in the rubble dozens of others have been pulled alive from hotels that collapsed when the tremor struck the quake is the second to fit the area in just a fortnight with over six hundred people killed in the first one. to lebanese people were wounded when a landmine exploded on the lebanon syria opposition activists claim government

troops laid mines in the area to prevent army defectors and opponents of president bashar al assad from fleeing we've already say they're trying to stop illegal arms and weapons smuggling which has stalled in recent months. nearly forty people have been injured after the mining protests turned violent and perverted 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 rivers are being polluted something the government continues to deny . and i do a little bit later here on our look inside the situation of health care in america and the potentially harmful products being used every day for now a quick preview of all the upcoming special report. in canada and the us that it is legal for you. and your baby it contains a known carcinogen something that causes cancer most of the most independent they

are sponsored by the industry and most of the. claim is a conflict of interest today an average cancer drug prescription costs nearly one thousand six hundred dollars a month. nobody with cancer in my five therefore i protect. because ninety to ninety five percent of cancers hurt people with 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 administration. in fact there are more pharmaceutical industry lobbyists in washington d.c. than members of congress. about twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow and. russia closeups today we are hitting the beach.

we're on the black sea today which has a long been a popular holiday resort for russians however the region is now becoming a hub for daring action water sports. and went to get into the middle of it all. 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 the growing water sports experience here anton is one of the best. but when you write in your board at top speed your feelings so you have control of two forces of nature in your hands when. he's currently number two in russia they skim 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 attitudes but he's hopeful for the black sea coast as a potential world class water sports center oh 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 the championship i was just a man standing up and surrounded by hundreds of wind of all ages bathing in the

black sea cup it's evidence of the growing status of water sports but i won't be joining them any time soon. and neither would i be taking part in an even more tricky kitesurfing here to that have been battling it out to prove their speed and agility syria has been crowned number one in russia ok. so there's a lot. of adrenalin. tricks and a lot of adrenalin now is easier but to master trick you have to fool a hundred times the black sea provides good conditions for this war to. it's a difficult sport to master but many of these human right is taking years to reach the standard yes we have a number of good spots 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 cars. again it's money that's

the problem for most kites are now going whether it's on the way to joining the list of the limping schools and that raises the profile which is still a fledging seeped. through 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. teacher that will be played here considering believe with the block see tom watson to. get into it the world of business is next with dimitri. and i was here and welcome to a special edition of the business news on our team and the heads of some of the world's largest financial institutions are in moscow discussing the main challenges facing the global financial system the meeting is practice by banks one hundred seventieth anniversary of course one of many in across arousing sense. the experts

here today couldn't help but address the financial turmoil in europe and how it might affect russia the head all sperm banks said that you've missed out over the adequacy of the policy of the pm regulators saying that they're seriously affecting the financial sector by making european banks survive of that swap increasing capital requirements and that's what we've spoken to the so-called dr doom all the global economy most certainly well roubini said that the situation that you know is on could have a serious impact on russia if the situation were that we call a result of the early in more eurozone countries both of them solve the faults along with all the dads or even others that are shooting over the faults on the viking died and if this is the issue of the companies or that you are one or more of them because of the euros of especially the large ones exit the euro zone that could be much larger than there is all the lots of lehman brothers in the fall of the walls of the major mall the prices would fall sharply at least within the

russian financial system and the european from the just go slow speeds of bradley three being in the euro zone with the fact that sooner all these things get all the way to russia on a lighter note business as well here are also this cousin 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 and russia look like in ten years and one million dollars has already been allocated supported cell 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 out now sperm bank is now been rated that's one see its strongest bank in the world the only russian bank to make it into the rating so it's very important for the country to make sure it continues growing and developing. mushroom stream prove ties with its asian partners as of
