3:02 am
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 we 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 and something that's been very hard to avoid because it impacts all of the countries and 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 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 movements 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 through 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 of me. no russia has been interested then being part of the
3:04 am
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 going to major issues between russia and the u.s. because this is a clause that was put in place by the u.s. congress back in one thousand seven hundred three and even though it has been under moratorium it's definitely been causing a little friction between russia and the west when it comes to trade between the two countries now getting rid of the member something that for me believe through trade relations not just for russia and the united states but the international community working with the countries. so russia's actions to the w t o was central to discussions on the last day of apec summit after almost twenty years of thorny negotiations and geneva commission finalized terms for

3:10 am
the was literally about to be sucked into that that's that we've seen. countries like greece the political 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 play in place long term sustainable measures to get the country out of the crisis situation that it's. nose into 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 whoever takes power is that they're really going to want to see their politicians and these people in charge leading by example and of course they simply haven't seen that under playlist any 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 credibility that's
