billed thousands of miles away over the eurozone forcing the apec leaders to find ways to protect the region from the e.u.'s economic. now takes a look at what's on the table in honolulu. basically even though the primary or 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 as 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 well 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 mobilization groups can see clearly those ways in turkey and the u.s. . just position can be me this is just we will continue to

encourage field position constructive leads to show concern about this country and the syrian people. well 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'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 and we'll bring our viewers all the latest as events in the arrival. twitter. overwhelms the gathering even.

facebook. is heated. this week. by.

bored people crazy with having to worry about every word they say. hundreds of children competing here in the black sea. with the right support this region could become a real. close. five minutes past the hour here in moscow prime minister silvio berlusconi's decade long grip on power could come to an end within just a few hours that's if italy's lower house of parliament approved the vast new austerity package the prime minister's seat though won't remain vacant for long with a veteran looking set to take the baton from any one of his in rome with

more on the build up to the vote. the m.p.'s we've been speaking to here has said 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 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 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. in 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 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 you 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 just 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 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 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 italy. reporting meantime the former british secretary of state says it's incredible that market pressure on greece and italy managed to ask their respective leaders when

millions of protesters in those countries could not. well what we've seen recently in the years is. taking the decisive action that they need to take frankly not getting on top of. their elected governments the difficult democratic machinery to. simply to take out. a government that's been democratically elected and actually what we've seen in the case i think of greece and. we've seen the bond markets being able to achieve normal democratic means has not been able to do. for those countries to get the governments they need at this particular time now i don't attach any value to that it's merely an observation that in these circumstances we've seen. rather more effectively than ordinary democracy. and the crisis continues to chip

away at confidence in the european union's leadership. back to cast their eyes over why speculators are so eager to see the crisis rage on report coming your way at five thirty g.m.t. here's what you can expect. every time the eurozone creates a dollar or euro instead they create a hundred euros naked short sell 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.

now at ten minutes past the hour here in moscow pro-equality occupy movement is quickly gathering pace in germany with fresh protests now starting in the capital but in and of the country's financial heartland of frankfurt more than ten thousand people have joined the demonstrations seeking to draw attention to rampant corporate greed and the increasing poverty of the masses the german occupy movement has also made significant steps in the judum izing itself having the support of two major political factions we spoke to one of the organizers of the event max bank who believes if democracy is to survive in germany now is the time to make a stand. we have a worldwide problem in the financial sector which is absolutely dilute deregulated and we need further regulation in order to make district or compatible. otherwise we always seen such measures in larchmont. we saw a couple of weeks ago here in the german parliament pushed within days. were

necessary in two thousand and eight and two thousand and nine. and we need clear conditions for those bearings. so i'm dutch hasn't happened in germany. and that's what we criticize to make a clear sign that democratic societies can no longer tolerate systemically relevant bangs that can suppress our societies. it's. a. huge test.

here in moscow you're watching arts he made europe and america's financial investors are making a shop turn to the east where china keeps on rising in the ranks of the global economic stage beijing's might however is not being met with enthusiasm in the united states. assesses the attitudes. we we. maybe

. jen zat i'm 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 how much twenty in love and 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 be china i want to go to war with china and make america the most attractive place in the world to do business woah whoa does it have to be us or them and is anybody buying it the world changing you know so like the fact the fact that like china's economy is modernizing. isn't there a 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 an economic sense most countries do 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 i'm not trying to set a party. meantime caroline helpmann from the occidental college in los angeles says that washington feels the need to paint china as a new evil empire 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 so when we hear these republican competitors 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 of perceived 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. you're watching on t.v. now political correctness may have many stopping to think before opening their mouths these days but has it gone too far that's the question lori haas finished better known as the resident has been putting to people in new york. 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 pulled off on political correctness where i think you've just got to realize specially with comedy. 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 so it just depends if like generations across 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 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. now twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow seven people including five policemen being killed in a suicide blast and shootout in kazakhstan's southern city of us. officials said that a robber raided a weapons store killing a security guard in the process before trying to escape in a car several policemen were shot dead in the subsequent pursuit and when police eventually tried to arrest the man he blew himself up the blast claimed more victims the incident has been officially classified as a terrorist attack it comes just two weeks after the twin explosions in the west of the country for which an islamic militant group did claim responsibility. right now let's get to some of the headlines for you from around the world in the world update here on our syria has been suspended in the arab league until

a peace plan is implemented to stop the bloodshed there a member states have also been called to pull their ambassadors from damascus and implement economic and political sanctions the decision came out an emergency session in cairo which discussed the message its inability to end the eight month long violent crackdown on civil protesters and of world if you remember state support with yemen and syria itself voting against. iran has been rocked by a powerful explosion. forty kilometers outside of tehran at least fifteen people killed two consecutive blasts ripped through the site southwest of the capital shattering windows in nearby buildings the munitions facility supplies the country's revolutionary guard of course for now the last remains on. the crippled fukushima nuclear plant in japan has opened its doors to journalists

for the first time in eight months reporters had to wear fully protective clothing before being allowed in the plant to suffer a series of meltdowns and explosions after being deluged by a devastating tsunami in march it was the world's worst nuclear crisis since china . ok now it's time for our close up series here on r.t. as you put a spotlight on the many wonders of russia. and this time we're on the black sea coast down in the south. bustling with tourists who come here to get their dose of relaxation under the sun of a now this region is also attracting hundreds of thrill seekers such as ati's tom bot. 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 sharing the growing water sports experience here and on is one of the best. when you ride in your board at top speed your feelings so you have control of two forces of nature in your hands wind and water. he's currently number two in russia they skim the waves in european competitions the 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 women 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 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. so there's 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 provides good conditions for this book 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 kites or nothing ever it's on the way to joining the list of the limping sports and that raises the profile of what is still a fledgling seeped russian. 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. the feature that will be played out here in the surging blue of the black sea tom watson r.t. . twenty five minutes past the hour here in moscow they are supposed to help people
