under hawaii's tropical sun for the alula apac form the summit is touching on everything from establishing a pacific wide free trade zone to perhaps inevitably the eurozone crisis has given the presidents of russia and the u.s. a chance to hold talks in a city if you're going to has more from honolulu. 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 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 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 they 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 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 the 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 in being part of the group since ninety three and it has plans and it looks like russia will be joining them 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 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 thousand nine hundred 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 w t o was central to discussions on the last day of the apec summit after almost twenty years of for any negotiations in geneva commission finalized terms for a long awaited membership are just going to be under china looks sad what will change in russia's economy once and finally joins a club. for the person on the street w t a membership will not be just something we'll read about in the news but it will mean lower prices removing trade barriers between states increases competition prices of imported goods and domestic companies weaker with foreign markets opening up. for workers of this much allergic a company you know looks like a win win situation their most recent project is the north stream pipeline should they enter international markets will face very little competition. and this is raw

so much the largest plant in russia's south producing harvested rushers. for months ahead and workers who can spawn. but the head of the company has a rather different outlook to that of the w t o cheerleaders. oil and gas will be in demand even without entering the. andrew culture will be among the hardest hit sectors but experts say the domestic automotive industry will be the one to undergo most up here with. the troubled motor john 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. the us is the government's favorite child but not all car makers in russia are cherished this used to be

a certain point the state's industrial dependence. and work on their own two feet in the world outside 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. coming up later in the program heating up you are up the wheel of a north stream pipeline a stern starting a flow of russian gas straight to the e.u. market. and battle of the billionaire russian tycoon to take their quarrel to a london court and unveil some dark secrets from the past. it say out of an era nationally as the country's controversial and charismatic prime minister silvio berlusconi steps 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 pm won't remain vacant for long the former

e.u. official my you want to be looking set to take over the public reaction so far has been mixed with some celebrating berlusconi's fall while others are wary of the future of our correspondent in italy sara for of explains. that of stairs he will finally say oh the soviet bellus gagne's fate and he stepped down as prime minister of the country that's a better world was he was certainly a case that it's going to be. a massive change and 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 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 he commissioner he's a euro crowd he knows the system inside and out a good length of 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 going to be some way to stemming that panic that we saw at the beginning of the week and to calming somewhat the fear that it's the was literally about to be sucked into that spiral that we see in a country like greece. but of course short term measures only last so long you're going to really now need to look at whether what has a 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 found itself in those in the virally speaking to people in the town there who were holding a protest 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 the 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 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 a simply not going to. sarah first reporting there well another embattled country in greece has received a new coalition cabinet and prime minister after the previous premier george papandreou hour was forced to quit over his handling of the debt crisis the new pm locust papademos 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 also have to secure a fresh portion of it e.u. bailout otherwise athens warns it will go bankrupt within weeks.

people like you see. the. serbs 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. bill 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 in 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 brand temple sat he has never been busier with all the people flocking in lately to pray for the well being of their families. has seen different times even been
