backed smear campaign. of an attack at the week's top stories and the latest developments this is. the creation of a landmark free trade zone dominated talks at this year's apec summit which brings together the leaders of asian and pacific rim countries barack obama hosted the get together and who i met up with dmitri medvedev to chile with some pretty hot topics and started. the apec summit of course as we know gathers twenty want to call it means that the asia pacific reserve 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 meet 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's 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

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 force 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 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 us congress to try to call off the jackson vatican

amendment this is something that's been a major issue between russia and the us because this is a clause that was put in place by the u.s. congress back in one thousand nine hundred eighty 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 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. talks at the apec summit put the finishing touches on russia's accession to the world trade organization expected next year experts have long been debating whether it will help by first of all and strengthen the russian economy breaks down the implications for r.t. . the person on the street w two membership will not be just something they'll read about in the news but it will mean lower prices removing trade barriers between states increases competition prices or when ford goods drop and the massey

companies also grow 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 will face very little competition. and this is lost so much the largest plant in russia south producing harvested rushers it's wonder who can speak for months ahead and workers who conspire. but the head of the company has a rather different outlook to that of the w t o cheerleaders. our oil and gas will be in demand even without entering the. well agricultural. agriculture will be among the hardest hit sectors but experts say the domestic automotive industry will be the one to undergo the most he will.

have doesn't mean you instantly have to drop all customs turners and comply straight away 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 agriculture timber and car making but at a certain point the state's industrial dependence will have to let go of the terms 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 adoption of customs tariffs and trade barriers to a more level playing field across international markets it's seen the gretsch over r t. well coming up full steam ahead to join the. russia opens a brand new gas pipeline direct to germany as moscow moves to cement trade ties with the west. and to serve resistance in kosovo after fresh clashes result in

death and injury those stories still to come. in italy the race is on to form a new caretaker government to pull the country back from financial abyss as far as the resignation of silvio berlusconi who stepped out on saturday having ruled the country's prime minister for seventeen years former commissioner mario monti is considered the top contender to replace him and our correspondent sara first has more. other late in president the pilot holiday is that standing out political leaders here in the country about the possible will they feel if they can't take a government officials the sort of resignation i still get jealous gainey now the man here that a lot of people think kerry can't be in line for that top spot is that all the economists that night a month say. he's a very well respected economist here in the country he's also as he said already commissionaire year eclat in a system inside and out and he's got the nickname here it's the the marriott and

certainly if he's going to be the man to get the top slot going to be hated by many that he's going to be able to live up to that nickname because of the taas that would face in his own singly large doubt of course he's seen the situation develop it very very quickly if that we can but nothing's yes that's in the talks are still getting on an italian politics can certainly be unpredictable to give us a bit more clarity on the situation right now enjoying life a great save her own set of political journalists and now marry him on stage if he does take the top spot he's going to have to implement its trini tough well sarah finishes is he going to have the political support sufficient very. brief answer is hopefully yes. i think so because first of all the president of the republic georgia napolitano has been building he's building around him a sort of correlation. coalition of the willing but i would say

a collision of people who represent our country who doesn't have much of a choice right now so i would say they're probably yes he will their support but there is also a huge economic issue east italy doesn't manage to make ordinary indeed its own house of the euro could fall apart any the euro falls apart you could be a huge. setback for the recovery also of other parts of the of the world and. that's leaving very few if that's really what a lot of people are concerned about because of course this leads really being considered a test case for whether or not the year can survive and certainly at this point today we've seen a lot of decisions being made this still a lot of questions being thrown out no one thinks that the formation of a caretaker government all that these decisions are going to be a quick fix to the very serious problems not only its leader the entire year is in still basis. over in greece a new coalition government has been sworn in the former prime minister george

papandreou was forced to quit over handing the country's debt crisis a new prime minister lucas papademos a former vice president of the european central bank who heads the new government coalition will have to approve a recent e.u. bailout package and still a country away from. its says there's more to the deepening european crisis than initially meets the eye 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 that are controlling the situation the banks are involved sometimes get 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 but this is a master plan of what i call the new world order their priorities are one to secure

the world's natural resources the second is to control the markets for those resources and thirdly to control the gateways to sea lanes and the pipeline routes when you have control of this you basically of 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. thousands of people took over central london on wednesday to protest against a threefold rise in university tuition fees and public spending cuts demonstrators chanted angry slogans while around four thousand police officers were deployed along the route organizers plan to link up with an existing occupy london camp outside of st paul's cathedral but were blocked by 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 break out which would get 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 my the 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 was likely to increase the level of tension increase that the level of distrust and the level of fear actually of the police a would have been there and they have done that and that's a terrible terrible thing no one in their right mind to toss inside that is about trying to keep that i can't 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 legal combat in the next spoken bodies and chelsea football club owner roman abramovich and little to new legal drama playing out over a six point five billion dollars claim.

first a report by the un's atomic watchdog has heightened fears this week that the ground could be developing a nuclear weapon israel is now calling on the international community to despite being an undeclared nuclear power itself but russia is stressing the need for caution at 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 the agency political scientists one hundred varieties says that the i.a.e.a. is findings a biased and deeply flawed the whole report itself it's based on forged documents there is absolutely nothing new in the core of the documents are from the year two thousand and four and before there was a general trend to try to put iran in a corner it or try to corner iran if you recall just a few weeks ago the americans made outrageous accusations about some murder plot of this. sort of the united states and no one in the world believed it because it was

so absurd this now comes right after that this report if you if you look at the western media the corporate media they're all saying that this is new information it proves that iran is trying to produce nuclear weapons when reality of their documents go back to two thousand and four and previous years all have been refuted in the past the united states has never provided i with the documents this shows that this is basically an attempt to create. pressure and to to move public opinion against iran. putting away in a program the martian curse a russian interplanetary craft tons of highly toxic fuel multiple sions during the flight of the possible consequences coming up very soon. e.u. police are investigating ethnic clashes in law who kosovo which resulted in the serbian man's death and two injuries late on wednesday fresh violence came as nato

months now serbs in the region have been putting up barricades as part of their struggle with the cause of our authorities and nature's peacekeeping forces. tells deeper into the causes of the resistance. that. perhaps not an obvious venue for a wedding but this serbian couple living in northern possible decided to get married at the barricades a meeting of its political us we get it together here and does the woodruff who invents. pieces just received. this sort of 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 course of a service isolated themselves from the case for troops but also from their unwanted neighbors this is the famous bridge in which splits the town and the serbian and albanian parts it was called the bridge of friendship it 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 our unwilling to be part of the self-proclaimed state while the cemented barricades in the middle of it so have become the town's main gathering spot tensions are still running high just a few people. for every sound off the call the case for troops known as the militia serbs built two piles there are times when the too close is taking place simultaneously. alibi and the. like you see. the. serbs say they have no choice but to continue barricading themselves in they believe would not hesitate to wipe them off their land forcefully help they believe by k. four troops despite constant clashes with the nato contingent and political pressure from belgrade the course of the serbs have become accustomed to living

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 used to improvise. 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 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. because of all his seem different hard times even be in my words turkey ones but series with stude all heartiness of times and everyone and literally it's an aries this land is the cradle of this sort of culture and street. another deadlock in this balkan melting pot continues belgrade is still unwilling to resume negotiations with pristina which could put grades to this standoff but while politicians clash this sort of family has little trust in

essential but this security comes with a hefty price tag the project cost some eight billion euro in fact north stream operate together as promised told by many top homeless that the world's longest subsidy just route was doomed to failure this is a point 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 there a russian engineering brilliance that is that the technical. design of the pipeline which is i think the best pipeline we have. for gas from what in the world nordstrom's first line has started successfully and the second goes operational in twenty twelve together they can heat twenty six million homes a year but more is needed because use has jumped even through the current e.u. debt crisis and supply can't keep up with predicted that mond gazprom is given the

strongest him so far but the third line could also be built mean that it will add all the capacity of existing and future byplay it is still not enough expansion not steam will be discussed where it 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 friendlier . we are trying to bring russia closer to europe even integrate europe and russia into a common energy space and if this is space. be successful then we can think about creating a common economic space a free trade zone as the first guest began to flow optimistic leaders were all smiles the next few months will show it streams really the store so we knew we were between the e.u. and russia or just another point dream. altie in germany. a

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 cost 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 pulls 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 but 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 but 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 water experts in mission control are trying to avoid. tom bot reporting there our interview in the weekend's latest sports news still ahead here on r.t. before that i'll be back with a recap of the headlines after a short break stay with us like you in mexico.
