test yourself and become free. see what nature can give you. the latest news on the week's top stories here on artsy asia pacific specific the region's key powers agreed to start work on a free trade zone that could revolutionize relations but that's not all. the russian and american presidents hold talks on the sidelines of the apec summit in hawaii this missile defense and russia's future. we'll bring you all the latest from honolulu just ahead in the program. rewriting history in europe new governments being formed prime ministers were placed in debt ridden greece and italy as opposed nations race to pull back from the financial abyss. plus a un report claims that iran might be seeking to obtain a nuclear weapon but terror on slams the allegations as a u.s.

backed smear campaign. and the headlines of today this week this is the weekly with me rove or some shine the creation of a free trade zone dominated talks of this year's apec summit which brings together the leaders of asian and pacific rim countries. to get together in hawaii i met up with. some pretty hot topics but here's our tease anastasio to report. 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 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 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 force 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 job 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 nine hundred seventy three and even though it has been under moratorium it's definitely been causing a little friction between russian 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 the international community working with the countries he's an associate you're going to reporting right that those side talks at the apec summit put the finishing touches on a rushers accession to the world trade organization that is expected to happen next year but experts have long been debating whether membership will help to diversify and strengthen the russian economy or you could read a great job and style the implications. for the person on the street w g the members should not be just something bill read about in the news but it will mean

prices removing trade barriers between states increases competition prices will be worded goods and domestic companies will see grow weaker with foreign markets it will be not. the workers of these smugglers you can accompany it on weeks like we see them most recent even north stream should international markets will face very little competition. and these must see much longer sponsor russia some producing harvested from russia. for months and workers who can spot. but the head of the company has a rather different health move to that of the w t o cheerleaders. oil and gas will be in demand even without entering the. well agriculture. could recall chu will be among the hardest hit sectors but experts say the domestic

automotive industry will be the one to undergo most of he will. the troubled mortgage giant up the vase was rescued from the brink of death in the economic crisis of two thousand and eight i promise to put in with more than one billion dollars in loans cash and guarantees. i think that is the government's favorite child but not all car makers in russia are cherished this used to be a driving wants of musk reach zero point zero nine hundred thirty s. most successful years what if the fifty's and sixty's when hundreds of thousands of my screech cars 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 car purchases and most creature was crossed out. the only way to avoid become laps of gas and now the industrial giant experts say

is to use the transition period of joining the wisely firstly entry to the w.t. doesn't mean you instantly have to drop all customs terms 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 every culture timber and car making but at a certain point the state's industrial the candles will have to let go of its hands and walk on their own two feet in the world outside it but that should also be a somewhat easier place to do business in lieu reduction of customs tariffs and trade barriers to a more level playing field across international markets exceeding the great chill of our tea. are you watching the weekly here on r.t. it's good if you can join coming up shortly full stream ahead to join the w t o a rush opens a brand new gas pipeline direct to germany. to cement trade ties with the west.

and those fears that serve resistance because of the fresh clashes result in deaths and injuries. in italy the race is on the former new caretaker government to pull the country back from a financial abyss this follows the resignation of silvio berlusconi who stepped down on saturday having ruled the country as prime minister for seventeen years but the news of his departure was met with cheers on the street first pretties and central rome. commissioner mary of monti is considered a top contender to replace father scott the new government tasked with implementing an almost sixty billion euros austerity package aimed at tackling the nation's towering that our correspondent sara firth who's in italy. that austerity law finally sells silvio berlusconi states and he stepped down as prime minister of

the country now for better or worse he was certainly a character and it's going to be a massive change now that he's resigned from the post optimism certainly for a feature of 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 economist here in the country. he's a former commissioner he's a year he knows the system inside killings 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 measure certainly they're going to go some way to stemming that panic that we saw at the beginning of the week and to calming some was the fear that if he was literally about to be sucked into that that spiral that we've seen countries like greece. 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 found itself. in the virally speaking to people in the town there who were holding protests one of the measures that they were protesting with government as 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 the country has been suffering under economic social and political state nation and kickstarting that is going to be a major. and a big cost he regained in public trust and the credibility that's been lost in recent times because without the public support these reforms

a simply not going to. write that well i mean i'm over in greece new coalition government has been sworn in after former prime minister george papandreou was forced to quit over his handling of the country's crisis the new prime minister. a former vice president of the european central bank will now head to new government will have to approve a recent package and steer the country away from bankruptcy political analyst peter says there's more to the deepening european crisis than initially. 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 will it really doesn't matter who's in power there are people controlling the situation the banks are involved who 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 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 whoever controls the finances of the world controls the world and this is what we're looking at here. without a live from moscow to join us today still to come this hour in the program or that of the martian. russian interplanetary craft carrying tons of highly toxic fuel malfunctions during flight our report on the consequences coming up soon.

thousands of people took over central london on wednesday to protest against a three fold rise in university tuition fees and public spending cuts demonstrators chanted angry slogans around four thousand police officers were deployed along the route organizers plan to link up with an existing occupy london camp outside of some paul's cathedral while commercially riot police a number of arrests were made but police say the march was largely peaceful there were reports of officers being authorized to use rubber bullets should violence break out that in turn i'm good protest organizers. people have all sorts of political views and i was under the impression that i was allowed in this country what the announcement that was made the incredibly provocative announcement that is night that there's going to be in preparation for this demonstration is absolutely outrageous i mean if anything is likely to increase the level of tension increase that the level of distrust and the level of

fear actually of the police it would mean that and they have done that and that's a terrible terrible thing no one in their right mind it's like that is about trying to keep the day the police the only role the police should be playing is to facilitate the rights to peaceful protests. also in the spotlight in london the super rich locked in a legal battle but in the next hour i'll spoken of boris berezovsky and chelsea football club owner roman abramovich continued legal drama playing out over a six point five billion dollars play. right across the aisle here in moscow this is the weekly report by the un's atomic watchdog has heightened fears this week but iran could be developing a nuclear weapon israel's now are calling on the international community to act just like despite her being an undeclared nuclear power itself but russia is stressing the need for caution over what appears to be an inconclusive report

iran's brushing the allegations aside blaming the u.s. for putting pressure on the international atomic energy agency iranian lawmakers are now calling for a review of the country's cooperation with that agency or terrans envoy to the i.a.e.a. says his country will not stop its nuclear activities which he says have been always peaceful and transparent. this report is not professional and not balanced with political motivation and political pressure by u.s. and couple other western countries this report has an annex in pages of the allegations and the materials which were handed over only last week to us in the company man air temp pages of the report of director general which says that all activities including a retirement are continuously under to safeguard inspection the only second part which is that any it is about the american delegation the important thing is that we are party to n.p.t.

all activities are under the. and we have had even. that shark short visit unannounced inspections this is great and we invited b.p. to director general the i.a.e.a. to even visit the of scented huge enrichment can you give me any example that any respect or have been permitted to any since usually in any other part of the war. so are you watching the weekly here at r.t. let's take a moment here see some other stories from around the world we will start here with syria where thousands of pro-government supporters there have rallied and stormed several foreign consulates in response to the arab league's decision to suspend the country until the implementation of the peace plan or the organization of the move at an emergency session in egypt and receive full approval from the leaders of the e.u. and us meanwhile the leader of russia's orthodox church patriarch kirill has begun a peacekeeping visit to syria talks with president assad the u.n. estimates that more than three and

a half thousand people have been killed in the country since anti-government protests began in march. a powerful blast has killed six people in northwest pakistan was placed in a car left unattended in the khyber province near the afghan border no one has claimed responsibility for the blast but officials have blamed previous violence in the area on the taliban and islamic militants comes just a day after a dozen people died after a gunfight and mortar attack in the same region. the crippled fukushima nuclear plant in japan has opened its doors to journalists for the first time in eight months reporters had to wear protective suits and masks before being allowed in the site suffered a series of meltdowns and explosions after being hit by the country's devastating earthquake and tsunami back in march the plant and the surrounding area remain highly radioactive. brazilian police are carrying out a massive operation to clear rio de janeiro's the largest slum of drug gangs the

shanty town controlled in part by local criminal groups it's officially home to seventy thousand people some estimates say the figure is actually much higher another project is aimed at cutting crime in the city ahead of the two thousand and fourteen football world cup and the two thousand and sixteen in the next. russia has ushered in a new era of energy security for western europe with the launch of the north stream pipeline it's now pumping russian gas directly to germany ruling out any raul's with transit countries which i had previously left the european consumers out in the cold and i think the new bush will watched as the receiving end of the pipeline was unfair. wheel of fortune turns in europe's favor a year leaders hailed russia's first of a route that skirts tricky transit nations bill routes and ukraine where the gas rich middle east also unstable energy chief say the projects a boon in several ways nothing brings admission i think that's the

theory of everything. i did in a secure way to get off the back with dave and he's there we traveled the world. he said in and secure we feel. every sense of this security comes with a hefty price tag the project cost some eight billion euro and fake north stream operator because problem was told by many top ten lists that the world's longest subsidy just route was doomed to failure this is a pipeline they said couldn't be built it's too long too expensive and technically they said it was impossible that it happened think experts is down to the russian engineering brilliance yeah with that technical. off the pipeline which is i think the best pipeline we have. for guess what about nordstrom's first line has started successfully and the second goes operational in

twenty twelve together they can hit twenty six million homes a year but more is needed yes use has jumped even through the current e.u. debt crisis and supply can't keep up with predicted demand has promised given the strongest him so far to third line could also be build build mean that it will add all the capacity of existing and future by both is still not enough expansion or not steam will be just passed but is so some even call this project the first step that could take russia into the e.u. single market there are those who hold nordstrom will make the two sides friendly. we are trying. to europe even integrate europe and russia into a common energy space and this is a space we'll be successful that we can think about creating. economic space free trade zone as the first guest began to float. the next few

months will show streams really the story of the new era between the e.u. and russia well just another point dream. altie in germany. we are coming to life in the heart of moscow this is r.t. e.u. police are investigating ethnic clashes in northern cause which resulted in a serbian man's death found at least two injuries but on wednesday fresh by nato peacekeepers deployed in the area fired tear gas and ethnic serbs peacekeepers say it was an attempt to seize back one of their barricades set up months ago in an ongoing dispute on the cause of my border the un it's a pretty general meantime says the tension has been caused by kosovo's attempts to extend its control over border crossings and he dominated area parties ask you delve deeper into the course is now behind the resistance. perhaps not an obvious venue for a wedding but this serbian couple living in northern ca civil decided to get

married at the barricades immediately. get it together here in. this era barricades in northern kosovo have been standing for several months now for those who built them there are just a part of everyday life but only have the cost of a service isolated themselves from the case for troops but also from the unwanted neighbors this is the famous bridge. it was called the bridge of friendship it was meant to symbolize that they can easily live together but the size of the. erica it's on the serbian part tells the whole story are unwilling to be part of the self-proclaimed state while the cemented barricades in the middle of it's a have become the town's main gathering spot tensions are still running high just fifty kilo. for every sand off the call the case for troops managed to

demolish serbs built two piles there are times when the two poles sisters take place and all tame your silly. family. but. people like this the. serbs say they have no choice but to continue bury getting themselves in they believe all benny and would not hesitate to wipe them off their land forcefully help they believe by k. for troops despite constant clashes with the nato contingent and political pressure from belgrade because the serbs 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 in finding a way out we build the return of the roots through the mountains so now we can again receive supplies we prevented

a humanitarian catastrophe when you order the orthodox priest of the town's brand new temple sat he has never been busier with all the people flocking in lately to pray for the well being of their families. closer look at cindy for in hard times even being at my birds turkey ones but stories with students all haughtiness of times and everyone and make sure it's of no use this land is the cradle of it's a culture and state. another deadlock in this balkan melting pot continues belgrade is still unwilling to resume negotiations with pristina which could put a face 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. see reporting from course.

in kosovo now i do remember that you can see that and all of our stories online as well as much much more a quick glimpse of what else of the. other celebrations are turned into a school run of poland's independence day party was marred by fighting with dozens wounded hundreds arrested you can see more of how it happened on our website and our r.t. you tube channel. plus a recipe for success find out how russia's black sea coast is making a name for itself in the world of cool made dining i get a taste of that. it's going to join us today this is their weekly here on artsy technical failure affecting russians first interplanetary mission in fifteen years to start

a huge blow to hopes of getting a better understanding of how the universe evolved there are now fears that the ten ton grunt probe will crash back to earth having never reached its goal. reports now from the baikonur launch station. hopes were high when the phobos rocket was launched from the cosmodrome here in baikonur in kazakstan 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 a potential catastrophe the group stages the rock went ok it went off into the overt of earth but then the problem started the second stage was supposed to commence with a crude rocket firing that would carry the spoke was spacecraft on a ten month voyage to the red planet they didn't fire what does this all mean now

then it means that far from going to the red planet so what 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 is the twenty sixth of november as earth's gravitational field slowly pulled the this trade craft 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 it's going to have to land somewhere the hopes are that it will land somewhere in the sea a 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 of very small and and so are the chances that it will cause any harm but the chance is there and that's what experts in mission control are trying
