if any out of the russian capital you watching r.t.m. arena joshie welcome to the program all the political and economic hammy waves of the pacific graeme are meeting under hawaii's tropical sun for the annual apac form the summit is touching on everything from establishing a pacific wide free trade zone to perhaps some believe the eurozone crisis and it's given the presidents of russia and the united states a chance to hold talks what is an associate you're going to joins us live now from honolulu for a more. honest as he is so talk us through the main areas of discussion for the leaders there. well you know marina basically the apec summit of course as we know gathers twenty one economies that make up the asia pacific riza region and this is where leaders take the opportunity to focus on all sorts of ways to boost trade between the countries they work out ways to make investments easier to improve the investment climate to make the economic ties more productive and this

is certainly been the focus this time around as well of course it's been hard this year for leaders to avoid the european financial crisis as you mentioned because this is something that's looming over the world economy something that's been very hard to avoid because it impacts all of the countries and are certainly not just europe and we've heard earlier from u.s. president barack obama say that the united states in particular is really looking forward to the changes namely in italy and greece with. certain changes taking place with the governments on the ground the united states is hoping that this is something that would provide an opportunity for change in europe and hopefully for all the leaders gathered here an opportunity for change in one and when it comes to the financial crisis in europe well sounds like a very busy agenda there and actually there were some very ambitious goals for this year is a pack summit in general so has anything actually been agreed upon. on zero zero

zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero well you know marina in terms of agreements one of the highlights of the day has been of course the bilateral meeting between the russian president dmitry medvedev and u.s. president barack obama during these talks they discussed very important issues that are not relevant just to russia in the united states but really most of the international community one of those issues of course is the missile defense plans of the united states as we know russia and nato agreed to work jointly on a european missile defense project in lisbon in two thousand and ten those talks however did come to sort of stalled because the united states was refusing to provide russia with legal guarantees that those projects would not cause a threat to security to russia and this is a fundamental issue for russia and at these talks the two presidents today did say again that those issues still exist but they're going to continue working on missile defense together and try to work those issues out now another important

aspect of course of today's talks was russia's future of the world trade organization because as we know russia has been interested then being part of the group since ninety three and it has plans and it looks like russia will be joining the becoming a full fledged member of the world trade organization by the summer of twenty twelve and a very important element in place today the u.s. president barack obama said that he would start working with the u.s. congress to try to call off the jackson vatican amendment this is something that's been a major issue between russia and the u.s. because this is a clause that was put in place by the u.s. congress back in one nine hundred seventy three and even though it has been under moratorium it's definitely been causing a little friction between russia and once when it comes to trade between the two countries now getting rid of this amendment is something that certainly could really improve trade relations not just for russia in the united states but the international community working with the countries also the two leaders talked about of course terror and they said that they would try to come up with a plan to. heather to make sure they could have joint positions and that iran would

continue or work harder in carrying out its international obligations and of course syria was one of the issues because with the anti-government clashes that have been taking place on the ground it's a big concern the united states has been calling for a resignation of the syrian president whereas russia has said that it sees an importance in dialogue and it hopes that both sides will sit down for those negotiations so that syria doesn't turn into another libyan scenario all right indeed a lot of key points were addressed during the apac summit there in honolulu and to see you thank you very much for bringing us this update from there. so russia's access to the w t o was central to discussions on the last day of the apec summit after almost twenty years of thorny negotiations in geneva a commission finalized terms for a long awaited membership artie's guys are going to travel looks at what will change and russia's economy once it finally joins the club. the person on

the street w. taylor membership will not be just something they'll read about in the news but it will mean flow of prices removing trade barriers between states increases competition prices of in florida goods drop and domestic companies also broke a quicker with foreign markets opening up. for workers of these metallurgical company it all looks like a win win situation their most recent project is the north stream pipeline should they enter international markets they'll face very little competition. and this is ross say much the largest plant in russia south producing harvested rushers is order book is full for months ahead and workers who conspired. but the hand of the company has a rather different outlook to that of the w t o cheerleaders with our oil and gas will be in demand even without entering the. well agriculture will tumble.

and recall chu will be among the hardest hit sectors but experts say the domestic automotive industry will be the one to undergo most upheaval. the troubled mortgage giant up the vase was rescued from the brink of death in the economic crisis of two thousand and eight by prime minister putin with more than one billion dollars in loans cash and guarantees. i thought this is the government's favorite child but not all car makers in russia are cherished this used to be a thriving plant of musket each opened a 1930's most successful years were the fifty's and sixty's when hundreds of thousands of my screech chorus flooded the soviet and foreign markets after the collapse of the soviet union my screech was in desperate need of money but the government could not afford to loss making copper juices and musk reach was crossed

out. the only way to avoid the collapse of yet and now the industrial john expert say is to use the transition period of joining the w a y z firstly entry to the w t doesn't mean you instantly have to drop all customs tires and comply straight away there's a transit so-called transition period roughly seven years or so protectionist measures will apply for a number of sensitive industries which employ millions of people such as a group called timber and calm making but at a certain point the state's industrial dependence will have to let go of its time and work on their own two feet in the world outside it but that should be a somewhat easier place to do business with a reduction of customs tariffs and trade barriers to a more level playing field across international markets. aren't.

all coming up later in the program heyday up europe that we often or extreme pipeline is turned starting the flow of russian gas straight to the e.u. market. and thousands of students marched across central london furious over education cuts and a tripling of tuition fees. well it's the end of an error i ate only as a country's controversial and charismatic prime minister silvio berlusconi stepped down that's after the lower house of parliament gave its final approval to a vast. new package which was a precondition for his resignation the p.m.'s seat though won't remain vacant for along with former official maju monti looking said to take over the public reaction so far has been mixed with some celebrating berlusconi's fall while others are wary of the future our correspondent in italy sarah for explains. that austerity law finally sells the soviet berlusconi's fate and he stepped down as prime minister of

the country now for better or worse he was certainly a character is going to be a massive change now that he's resigned from the post optimism certainly for a future but what the future will be right now remains uncertain is that a caretaker government is going to be put in place and the man is being paid for the top spot is very well respected economists here in the country mary month say he's the former you commissioner he's a euro crowd he knows the system inside and a good links with brussels there's certainly a question mark over whether he's going to have the democratic legitimacy that is needed to gain public support of course and an elected government taking the reins does raise a lot of questions these are just the initial steps and was as a short term measure certainly they're going to go some way to standing that panic that we saw at the beginning of the week and to coming somewhat the fear that it's being was literally about to be sucked into that that spiral that we've seen

a countries like greece be sucked into but of course short term measures only last so long you're going to really now need to look at whether whatever government now follows is going to be able to put in place long term sustainable measures to get the country out of the crisis situation that it's done itself then now is in virally speaking to people in the town there who were holding protests one of the measures that they were protesting with government spending a waste of taxpayers' money and really what they were saying was very clear is that whatever happens now and whoever takes power is that they're really going to want to see their politicians and those people in charge leading by example and of course they simply haven't seen that under berlusconi especially in the last couple of years i mean quite the opposite in the face of the crisis berlusconi has been perceived as just partying. his way very carelessly to be a very critical time for the country. that's where the focus is turning to the

country is and has been suffering is. economic and political stagnation and kickstarting that is going to be a major challenge and a big part that that is going to be regaining public trust and credibility that's been lost in recent times because without the public support these reforms a simply not going to. sara furthur reporting there and over in greece and new coalition cabinet and a new prime minister have been sworn in after the previous premier george papandreou was forced to quit over his handling of the debt crisis and bring stand days of political wrangling in athens the new pm locus of adamus who is a former vice president of the european central bank says the priority will be to keep greece in the euro zone the new coalition government will have to vote for more austerity measures to get another portion of an e.u. bailout otherwise greece warns it will go bankrupt within weeks political analyst

peter air believes the true nature of the deepening crisis is being hidden from public view. i think we have to turn the clock back to the original collapse of the world economy because this was no accident it was a very well planned exercise by the new world order who have the ability to close down any company or any country that will it really doesn't matter who's in power there are people that are controlling this situation the banks are involved and sometimes give unsecured loans and of course the politicians themselves remember that they can take out any country financially or militarily that they want to take out they said this is a master plan of what i call the new world order their priorities are one to secure the world's natural resources their second is to control the markets for those resources and thirdly to control the gateways to the sea lanes and the pipeline

routes when you have control of this you basically got the world in the palm of your hand controls the finances of the world controls the world and this is what we're looking at here. western europeans can rest easier this winter was an uninterrupted flow of russian gas to keep them warm the north stream pipeline will pump fuel along the baltic sea floor and straight to customers without relying on transit countries like ukraine and belarus bushell watched as president we have an european partners went with the flow in germany. the wheel of fortune turns in europe's favor e.u. leaders hailed russia's first of a route that skirts tricky transit nations bill routes and ukraine with the gas rich middle east also on stable energy chief say the project's a boon in several ways nothing brings addition if i think back to.

a very important. constituency off the floor with him and he's there we traveled the world. he said in one tough security team. very essential this is a pipeline they said couldn't be built it's too long too expensive and technical they said it was impossible that it's happening think experts is down to russian engineering brilliance. with technical. design off the pipeline which is i think the best pipeline we have. guests from thought of all nordstrom's first line has started successfully and the second goes operational in twenty twelve together they can he twenty six million homes a year but more is needed i guess use has jumped even through the current e.u. debt crisis and supply can't keep up with predicted demand gazprom given the strongest hint so far the third line could also be built mean that if i will add

all the capacity of existing can future by plenty still not enough expansion or a lot of steam will be discussed it is so thin some even call this project the first step that could take russia into the e.u. single market we are trying. to europe even integrate europe and russia into a common energy space and if this space will be successful then we can think about creating a common economic space free trade zone as the first gas began to flow optimistic leaders. the next few months. will just another point dream. in germany. and get more on all of our stories that are to dot com here is a taste of what else can find if you go online right now. protests turns

performance new york police detained two clowns at new york's occupy protest while the year by they're called was dressed as a matter of the war faces down the wall street peddle line to see how this fight and it. also a huge test for polish police ahead of the upcoming euro two thousand and twelve championship as hundreds of football hooligans ran riot find out how the authorities. russian space aspirants are battling to fix a tactical failure on board an interplanetary station that was heading to the martian moon phobos the aim of a probe launched on wednesday was to get a better knowledge of how the universe evolved but there are fears of the crash back to earth having never reached its goal or. the baikonur launch station and castle stana joins me now. tom so what are you hearing about the station's fate.

well marina hopes were high when the phobos rocket was launched from the cosmodrome here in baikonur in kazakstan last week it was the first interplanetary mission russia had launched in fifteen years and there was great hopes that it would help to reveal secrets about the red planet and about how life evolved those hopes have since turned to fears of potential catastrophe the boost stage of the rocket went ok it went off into the overt of earth but then the problem started the second stage was supposed to commence with the crew's rocket firing that would carry the phobos spacecraft on its ten month voyage to the red planet they didn't fire and since then mission control has been frantically trying to work out what went wrong

whether it was a software failure or a hardware failure the effect is the same we've treated attempts have been made to try and make contact with the spacecraft and issue it commands uploading them virus software link all of those so far have failed and so far the russian space agency. has been very tight lipped it has not said anything any official comment about what's happened unofficial sources and unnamed sources as yet say though that hope is running out to try and make contact with the shuttle what does this all mean now then it means that far from going to the red planet phobos is most likely heading right back down to earth it's likely that it will happen about the end of november the beginning of december the predicted date given at the moment as the twenty sixth of november as earth's gravitational field slowly pulls the the spacecraft back into the atmosphere the upper atmosphere is very turbulent and that was going

to throw the rocket around as it comes back but eventually. going to have to land somewhere the hopes are that it will land somewhere in the sea the rocket is carrying about ten tons of very toxic and highly flammable fuel and there's also a small amount of radioactive material in the equipment on board the chances of it landing on a populated area are very small and and so are the chances that it will cause any harm but the chance is there and that's what experts at mission control are trying to avoid even if it causes no harm to anyone it's still a great loss to the scientific community the rocket was going to try and collect dust and rock samples from phobos one of the moons of mars it was also carrying a fascinating experiment called life that's an afternoon and that was to try and work out whether bacteria they were carrying to test

a theory that they may have been able to jump and the genetic material survive on mars thus giving a lot of added information to the possible evolution of life on earth and it was also occurring a chinese satellite that could have over to mars and given thompson's information on that all that now it seems is lost and the battle now is to try and work out where this spacecraft phobos will come down on earth and trying to avoid any harm from that crash landing. well certainly sounds like a shame there but. and also the challenges ahead tom thanks very much in. bringing us this update from. baikonur in kansas dan. the u.n. atomic watchdog has released satellite images and letters this week that it says backs up its report suggesting iran is secretly developing nuclear weapons the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton has called into iran to answer the questions the

report poses claiming it has a long history of deception by iran's chief and boy that i dismissed the agency's finding saying tiriel was fabricated by the u.s. and its allies told r.t. that his country is as transparent as any can be dismissing the latest report as politicise. these two chords is not professional and not balanced and is with political motivation and political pressure by the us and couple of the western countries this report has a fifteen pages of the allegations and the materials which were handed over only last week to us in the company should read the temp pages of the report of director general which says that all activities including a retirement are continuously on their deceive inspection the only second part which is the annex is about the american allegation the important thing is that we

are party to n.p.t. all activities are on their. part and even on this snapshot short visit unannounced inspections this is great and we took months ago invited depicted director john viii to even visit the r. and d. of richmond can you give me any example that any inspector being permitted to any richmond in any other part of the war. a new police are investigating ethnic clashes in northern ca civil after a serb man died and two others were injured in attacks late on wednesday it comes as nato k. four peacekeepers fired tear gas at ethnic serbs while trying to seize one of the or barricades set up months ago in an ongoing dispute on the server possible more of the u.n. secretary general says a tangent has been caused and still stand its control over border crossings in the serb dominated area are just like here she ask it delves deeper into the causes

behind their existence. that. perhaps not in the old this venue for a wedding but this serbian couple living in northern ca civil decided to get married at the barricades and. we're going to be here and now we're doing. this our barricades in northern kosovo have been standing for several months now for those who built them they're just a part of everyday life not only have the kosovo serbs isolated themselves from the k. four teams but also from their unwanted neighbors this is the famous bridge that it's there which splits the town into serbian and albanian parts it was called the bridge of friendship and was meant to symbolize that the two can easily live together but the size of the barricades on the serbian part tells the whole story of how serbs are unwilling to be part of the self-proclaimed state while the cemented barricades and to have become the town's main gathering spot tensions are

still running high just a few people. for every sound to call the case for troops managed to demolish serbs built two piles there are times when the to close is taking place and. people like. serb say they have no choice but to continue barricading themselves in they believe albanians would not hesitate to wipe them off their land forcefully help they believe by k. four troops despite constant clashes with a nato contingent and political pressure from belgrade because civil servants have become accustomed to living in this cage they have built for themselves. it was hard at first when we run out of food and petrol but we serbs are people who

are used to improvising and finding a way out we've built alternative routes through the mountains so now we can again receive supplies we prevented a humanitarian catastrophe. the orthodox priest of the town's brennan temple sat he has never been busier with all the people flocking in lately to pray for the well being of their families. or the close of all his sin different times even being up at my bed turkey ones but terry's with stude all heart tests of times and everyone and make sure that it's of no use this land is the cradle of his a culture and statehood. another deadlock in this balkan melting pot continues belgrade is still unwilling to resume negotiations with pristina which could put great to the standoff but while politicians clash this sort of family has little trust in diplomacy their kids may be too young to realize what it's all about and why they are being shown the barriers but there is little doubt what views they

will inherit once they grow up looksee russia. reporting from costs. in kosovo. thousands of students marched across central london this week protesting at a dramatic increase in tuition fees and cuts to public spending furious demonstrators carry the banner isn't chanted slogans while some four thousand policemen were the poit along their route from the university of london to the city's financial district students had planned to link up with an anti corporate occupy protest but were blocked by riot police officers have warned that anyone involved in criminal activity could be surrounded and even shot at with rubber bullets almost a year ago similar protests in the heart of the british capital the sand into violence but the protesters say people have a right to speak out. of people have all sorts of political views and i was under the impression that that was allowed in this country. what the announcement that

was my incredibly provocative announcement that was made that there's going to be rubber bullets in preparation for this demonstration is absolutely outrageous i mean if anything it's likely to increase the level of tension and increase the the level of distrust and the level of fear actually of the police it would have been that and they have done that and that's a terrible terrible thing no one in their right mind could possibly say that is about trying to keep the day calm the police the only role the police should be playing is to facilitate the right to peaceful protest. brings us up to date and a recap of the week's top stories is coming your way so stay with us. observe nature and discover its beauty.
