today's top stories and a review of the we global powers come together in hawaii vowing to avenge europe's debt crisis from engulfing the pacific. the russian and american presidents hold talks on the sidelines of the apec summit in hawaii to focus missile defense and russia's future of the w g o we bring you all the leaders from honolulu just ahead of the program. both greece and italy watch their governments fall at the high of the debt crisis but many are wary on the newly appointed and elected officials and their links to brussels. the un atomic watchdog zeroes in on iran's nuclear

ambitions again claiming the country could be building a bomb but iran says the allegations are fabricated and for the size. and the police investigate fresh clashes in breakaway cost of oil as we report on theorists are resistance to what they say are awaiting attempts to control their lives. this is r.t. coming to you live from moscow and here in marina joshing welcome to the program all the political and economic heavyweights of the pacific rim are meeting under hawaii's tropical sun for the annual apec for a summit is touching on everything from establishing a pacific wide free trade zone to perhaps inevitably the eurozone crisis and it's given the presidents of russia and the u.s. a chance to hold talks are his and he says honestly she has more from honolulu.

the apec summit of course as we know gathers twenty one economies that make up the asia pacific 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 but of course it's been hard this year for leaders to avoid the european financial crisis 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 that are certainly not just europe there have been dozens of protesters here in honolulu gathering for their own anti apec meeting if you will and have even been protesting everything from open and free trade to globalization the protesters have been seen as sort of a continuation of protests going on throughout the united states of the world the so-called occupy wall street movement and the similar issues were addressed at

those rallies here in honolulu earlier today 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 me. no 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 took place today the us president barack obama said that he would start working with the u.s. congress to try to pull off the jacksons pratik 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 the u.s. 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 so russia's access to the deluge here was central to discussions on the

last day of the apec summit after almost twenty years of sorting it was chief and a geneva commission finalized terms for a long awaited membership are just going to try to look at what will change and russia's economy once and finally joins the club. for the person on the street w. general membership will not be just something bill read about in the news but it will mean lower prices removing trade barriers between states increases competition prices will be ordered goods and domestic companies also grow weaker with foreign markets opening up. for workers so these metallurgical company it all looks like a win win situation their most recent project is the north stream pipeline should enter into national markets will face very little competition. and this is not seen much launches plants in russia's south producing harvest of russians it's what is food for months ahead and workers who can spot. but the head of the

has been mixed with some sort of brain berlusconi's fall while others are wary of the future of our correspondent in italy sarah ferguson explains. the stairs he will finally see those soviet berlusconi states and he stepped down as prime minister of the country does it better or worse he was certainly. a massive change and now that he's resigned from the optimism certainly for a future what the future will be right now remains uncertain is that a caretaker government is going to be put in place the man is being paid for the top spot is a very well respected economist here in the country a. commissioner he's a year out he knows the system inside and a good links of brussels this 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 measures certainly going against some way to standing that panic that we saw at the beginning of the week and coming some more it's the fear that it's the was literally about this. sucked into that spiral that we've seen countries like greece be sucked into a political short term measures only last so long you can 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. was in to virally speaking to people in the town there who were holding protests one of the measures that they were protesting were 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 isn't the really going to want to see their politicians in these people in charge leading by example and of course they simply haven't seen that under berlusconi especially in the last couple of years

the country has been suffering under economic social and political stagnation and kickstarting that is going to be a major challenge and a big part of that is going to be regaining public trust and the credibility that's been lost in recent times because without the public support these reforms simply not going to work. so forth reporting there and other embattled you country greece has received a new coalition cabinet and prime minister after the previous premier of georgia was forced to quit over his handling of the debt crisis that he will discover damages who's a former vice president of the european central bank says the priority will be to keep greece in the euro zone a new coalition government will also have to secure a fresh portion of an e.u. bailout otherwise athens warns it will go bankrupt within weeks. western europeans can be more at ease this winter with an uninterrupted flow of russian gas to keep them warm the north stream pipeline will pump fuel along the
