a day just minutes ago it's of these lower house of parliament approved a vast new austerity package and the move will steer the country away from the financial abyss it's been circling passing the tough cuts was a precondition under which prime minister silvio berlusconi agreed to step. tremaine vacant for long with veteran euro credit mario monti looking set to take the baton from skokie the public reaction so far as being mixed with some celebrating but it's going to. a wary the future of our correspondent in italy sara for the details and we can cross to have live now. now that the vote has gone through in the measures have been passed what comes next they're. pretty much expected. to. head and it's expected i mean it's just as any it's not getting to me. when it.

really is getting what at the end of it going to here in the country. and what many people have. and of course. the people did speaking to god. if we can we well i think the thing the they can say pretty quickly because the league i. mean the. week that they're going to be able to get a handle on the quite what we've been. speaking to some people who. really don't want to be a bigger challenge is going to be needing. that include a. public and speaking of the people here they say what do you think the government spending. money i mean i don't.

what could be done peter i thank you the other. people in. the country but you. get the country going to. need a bit more i'm going to make it i don't but do you think that it's not you really don't want to see me politicking pleading by then of course. in that. i could credibility and. they could challenge you getting the public. to get a. good feeling about. things you know. i think if. the government could get in.

there you know i don't think it would be getting. any of the pure form but. next. week the public. moving developments and it's really sort of first with the latest thanks very much indeed. and peter mandelson the former british secretary of state says it's incredible that market pressure on greece and italy managed to oust respective leaders where millions of protesters in those countries couldn't. but what we've seen recently in the year is there is some government not as strong as all those not taking the decisive action that they need to take frankly not getting on top of events now they're elected government to draw the difficult for democratic machinery to be used simply to take out a government that's been democratically elected and actually what we've seen to be

in the case i think of greece and italy we've seen the bond markets being able to achieve what normal democratic means have not been able to do and that is to put those countries to get the governments they need at this particular time now i don't attach any value judgement to that it's merely an observation that in these circumstances we've seen market democracies operating rather more effectively than ordinary democracy. peter mandelson there and as the euro crisis continues to chip away at confidence in the european union's leadership stacy about to cast their eyes over why speculators are so eager to see the crisis rage on the kaiser report is coming away in about twenty minutes from now but it's a brief preview of what you can expect. every time the eurozone creates a dollar or euro instead they create a hundred euros in naked short sells on 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 entrance called takhar see 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. because reporting just over twenty minutes from now the pro quality occupy movement is quickly gathering pace in germany with almost twenty thousand people protesting right now in both the capital berlin and the country's financial heartland of frankfurt protesters wave placards and locked arms in solidarity seeking to draw attention to rampant corporate greed and the increasing poverty of in the us it's the german occupy movement has also made significant steps in legitimizing itself having the support of two major political factions. of the quality attack germany

group believes in is partly responsible for europe's economic woes. it is needed to have protests and broader movements in all european countries and we know there are tears in germany germany is one of the countries that course is quite a lot of the trouble we have in europe now because of the way international competition is organized to germany is a very often on the winning side but that means that we export also poverty and joblessness for people and to be learned during the last years there it's very very soon tex players are forced to help to save the banks we learned in two thousand and eight what happened in such a very short time when billions of euros were given to the bags if you ask people here on the streets. they agree with the protests they agreed with the people of the occupy movement that it is needed to go out because everybody learns that

democracy is in danger that in our country too there is no perfect if how to go on if this crisis is going on further and it will. website dot com you can find out how the occupy wall street demonstration was turned into performance art police to take to club. their accomplice dressed as a matter of door attempted to attract. attention. online to see how this fight. proposes police ahead of the upcoming euro twenty twelve championships as hundreds of football hooligans run riot in front of. that to put it on the stores and on t.v. . the

world's political and economic heavyweights from the asia pacific nations descend upon a sunny hawaii this weekend that's a storm clouds continue to build thousands of kilometers away over the eurozone forcing the apec leaders to find ways to protect their region from the economic trauma artie's. takes a look now at what's on the table in 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 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 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. 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 particularly those ways into the u.s. . just position can be me this is just we will continue to encourage field position. leads to and to show concern about this country and the syrian people are stupid. 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 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 and we'll bring our viewers all the latest as events unravel well for instance updates from the asia pacific summit in honolulu you can head to twitter streams a correspondent there on a voice of tweets that the aloha spirit overwhelms the gathering at the moment even

undercover agents are patrolling the beaches and flowery shirts and flip flops as you said plenty more noughties facebook and you tube pages. and europe of america's financial woes investors are making a short term 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 u.s. adriana you serve as this is the attitudes. ways i'm not what you always were tell me obama maybe we can see the six or nine years old she said he. was coming the boss and. she and sat him don't think you want to go. into the future you have to yikes ok let's just get right down to it shelley 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 on march twenty seventh 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 but 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 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 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 they get him in a busy. most countries do just as any other country. in 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. d.c. . and dr caroline from 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 buoy 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 are 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. the arab league's voted to suspend syria from the organization until a peace plan is implemented to stop the bloodshed there member states have also been us to withdraw their ambassadors from damascus and implement economic and political sanctions and decision which already received the use for backing came an

emergency session in cairo an overwhelming majority of member states supported the move with only lebanon yemen and syria itself against the director of the center for research on globalization michel chossudovsky told me earlier that he believes the league's move is an act of provocation orchestrated by washington. this is not a decision of the arrow lee all the arab world is a decision of washington. and it is there to justify war plans directed us against syria which already on the drawing board of the pentagon this is not a protest movement it is an armed insurrection immediately following that of the peace proposal of the arab league armed gunman which i'll cry affiliated

entities paramilitary sit in to trigger a new round of civilian casualties it is not to say that the government of bashar al assad doesn't bear responsibility but we must understand that the very parties to this to this arab league decision are also complicit in supporting an insurgency an armed insurgency with a view to destabilizing syria as a nation states nato and the united states are perry for a military campaign directed against syria on the humanitarian pretext while at the same time they have supported the all of the should which has created this this process of instability. political correctness may have been stopping to think before opening your molds these days but is it going too far well that's the question or a half and it's better known as the president 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 that is 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 holed up in political correctness where i think you've just got to realize specially a comedy just loosen up you know everyone's going to be offended by something and i'm just saying there's always going to be someone who looks for something to complain about my generation we don't really care we just laugh it's funny but i

just depends if like generations accosting if you're talking to some elderly people then yeah the 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 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 that 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. so more headline news now from around the world and twenty minutes past the hour in the russian government has been rocked by a powerful explosion and the mission about forty kilometers. side of tehran with at

least twenty seven people reported killed and sixteen wounded two consecutive blast ripped through the site southwest of the capital shattering windows in nearby buildings the munitions facility supplies the country's revolutionary guard blast were ruled accidental but the exact cause remains unclear. 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 suffered a series of meltdowns and explosions after being daily by devastating tsunami in march it was the world's worst nuclear crisis since. oh it's time for a close up series as we put the spotlight on the many wonders of russia for you. were on the black sea coast in the south

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 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 when service of all ages bathing in the black sea cup it's evidence of the growing status of water sports but that 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. 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 sport 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
