did the get together in hawaii and met up with dmitri medvedev to churn over some pretty hot topics is artes and started checking. the apec summit of course as we know gathers twenty one economies that make up 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 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 and 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 we. 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 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 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 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. those 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 the ship will help diversify and strengthen the russian economy etc which over breaks down the implications for r.t. . for the person on the street w t a 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 of unfortunate goods drop and domestic companies also broke 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 they'll face very little competition. and this is the last so much the largest plant in russia's south producing harvested rushers is four 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 tumble middle of. agriculture will be among the hardest hit sectors but experts say the domestic automotive industry will be the one to undergo most up here will. the troubled mortgage giant 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. that the government's favorite child but not all car makers in russia are cherished this used to be a thriving. open the 1930's most successful years what the fifty's. six days when hundreds of thousands of my screech chorus 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 must creech was tossed out. the only way to avoid the collapse of yet another industrial giant experts say is to use the transition period after joining the w t a wisely firstly entry to the w.t. doesn't mean you instantly have to drop all customs tires 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 dependence will have to let go of its hand 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 labor duction of customs tariffs and

trade barriers to a more level playing field across international markets exceeding the grand children r t. well coming up full stream ahead to join the w t o russia opens a brand new gas pipeline direct to germany as moscow moves to cement trade ties with the west. this resistance in kosovo after fresh clashes result in death and injury to 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 this follows the resignation of silvio berlusconi who stepped down on saturday having ruled the country's prime minister for seventeen years former commissioner mario monti is considered a top contender to replace him and our correspondent sara first has more. at the name of president nicholas holiday is the standing out political leaders here in

the country about the possible full nation if they can take a government office policy so the resignation is still good ballasts gainey now the man here that a lot of people think kerry can't be in line for that top spot is the full the economists that naive and say. he's a very well respected economist here in the country i he's also as he said told me commissionaire year eclat in a system inside and out and he's got the nickname here it's steep in the area and certainly if he's going to be the man to get that top spot we're going to be hated by many that he's going to be able to live up to that nickname because of the tasca that would face in his tool insanely large doubt of course we've seen the situation develop it very very quickly if that we can but nothing c.s.s. in the talks are still getting on and italian politics can certainly be unpredictable and to give us a bit more clarity on the situation right now i'm joined by the brits in her own set of political journalists now marry him and say if he does take the top spot

he's going to have to implement some extremely tough 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 george in a pretty town hall has been. building he's building around him a sort of coalition. their coalition of the willing but i would say a coalition of people who represent a country who doesn't have much of a choice for now so i would say they're probably yes he will have their support but there is also a huge economic issue of east italy doesn't manage to make ordinary indeed its own house of the euro could fall apart and if the euro falls apart you could be a huge. sat there for the recovery also of other parts of the world and i. that's leaking think about. what a lot of people are concerned about because of course this leads really being

considered a test case whether or not the can survive and certainly at this point although we've seen a lot of decisions being made there's 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 problem not only is the entire year is in still based is. reporting that over in greece a new coalition government has been sworn in after the former prime minister george papandreou was forced to quit over handling the country's debt crisis the new prime minister lucas papademos a former vice president of the european central bank will head the new government the coalition will have to approve a recent e.u. bailout package and steer the country away from bankruptcy political analyst 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 there to control in this 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've 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. 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 violence break out which had and get protest organizers. people have all sorts of political views and i was under the impression that that was allowed in this country. what the announcement that was my 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 is likely to increase the level of tension increase the the level of distrust and the level of fear actually of the police they would have been that and they have done that and that's a terrible terrible thing no one in their right mind could possibly say that is

about trying to keep the day calm 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 but he says it is off ski and chelsea football club owner roman abramovich and they continued 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 iran could be developing a nuclear weapon israel is now calling on the international community to despite being an undeclared nuclear power itself but russia 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 the agency political scientists mohammad marandi 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 report all the documents are from the year two thousand and four and before there is a general trend to try to put iran in a corner toward trying to corner iran if you recall just a few weeks ago the americans made outrageous accusations about some murder plot of the saudi ambassador to the united states no one in the world believed that 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 in reality of the documents go back to two thousand and four and the previous years all i've been refuted in the past the united states has never provided that i with the documents this shows that this is basically an attempt to create. pressure

and to to move public opinion against iran. coming away in the program this. curse a russian interplanetary craft tons of highly toxic fuel. in the flight the possible consequences coming up very soon. e.u. police are investigating ethnic clashes in northern kosovo which resulted in the serbian man's death and two injuries late on wednesday for nato peacekeepers deployed in the area tear gas and ethnic serbs peacekeeper say it was an attempt to seize one of the barricades set up months ago in an ongoing dispute on the cost of an insecure the general says the tension is being caused by kosovo's attempts to extend its control over border crossings in the dominant today. and it's an exam the public believes there's a bigger picture behind. they've been doing it for years now and they've broken their mandate actually they're doing the job of the albanian control government and

prishtina and they're doing it openly in spite of their mandate from the un which is supposed to be a peacekeeping mandate to keep to the warring sides separated this is an aggressive show for syria they're acting like an occupier he said of the peacekeepers they're behind the crisis in greece they're behind the crisis in iran what we're seeing right now is the sawing of the new world disorder and serbia is one of the flashpoints. for months now serbs in the region have been putting up barricades as part of their struggle with the cost of our thirty's and nature's peacekeeping forces. deeper into the causes of the resistance. that. perhaps not in the old this venue for a wedding but this serbian couple living in northern course have all decided to get married at the barricades and. to cool off we're going to be able to here induce there we're doing. this sort of

buried. aids 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 kosovo serbs isolated themselves from the k. four troops but also from their unwanted neighbors this is the famous bridge in method of its there which splits the town into 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 serbs are 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 kilometers. for every sound off the call that k. four troops managed to demolish serbs built two piles there are times when the too close is taking place in all ten years to meet. them. and.

people like me see. they don't get. that 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 eliminate a contingent and political pressure from belgrade because 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 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 when you pull away move to the orthodox priest of the towns 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. or the close of all his. soon

different hard times even being my birds turkey ones but series with stewed interests of times and everyone and made sure of it so this land is the cradle of this sort of culture and statehood. another deadlock in this balkan melting pot continues belgrade is still unwilling to resume negotiations with pristina which could put great to this 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 ward views they will inherit once they grow up. r.t. reporting from costa. in kosovo. just turning twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow time to update you on some other stories from across the world in our world update syrian security forces reportedly killed seventeen people across the country

in a fresh wave of crackdowns on government protesters this comes as the leader of russia's orthodox church petrov carol begins a peacemaking visit to syria for talks with president assad he called on syrians to build an open peaceful society and reinforce national unity to avoid civil war the visit follows the arab league's decision to suspend the country until a peace plan is brought in a move of thousands of pro-government supporters in syria who rallied and storm several foreign embassies in response. a powerful blast that killed six people in northwest pakistan the bomb was placed in a cots left unattended in the khyber province near the afghan border that was claimed responsibility for the blast but officials have blamed previous violence in the area on taliban and islam must militants this 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 or mosques

a year leaders hailed russia's first ever route that skirts tricky transit nations bill routes and ukraine with the gas rich middle east also on stable energy chief say the project's a boon in several ways nothing nothing will bring in addition i think that brings everything for. additional security off the price or with it and. there we travel the world. he said in and to secure we feel. very 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 the list 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 take they said it was impossible that it happened think experts is down to russian engineering brilliance yeah we saw

a technical. design off the pipeline which is i think the best pipeline we have. for guess what the 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 gas use has jumped even through the current crisis and supply can't keep up with predicted demand gazprom given the strongest hint so far the third line could also be built mean that they fall at all the capacity of existing and future by plenty still not enough expansion. that it will be discussed but is so so many even call this project the first step that could take russia into the e.u. single market there are those who hope nord stream will make the two sides friendlier . we are at a. bring russia closer to europe even integrate europe and russia into

a common energy space and there for this space. be successful then we can think about creating a common economic space and a free trade zone as the first guest began to flow optimistic leaders were all smiles the next few months will show if streams really the start of a new era between the e.u. and russia or just another pipe dream. in germany. a technical failure affecting russia's first interplanetary mission in fifteen years is dealt a huge blow to hopes of getting a better understanding of how the universe evolved and elf is at the thirteenth focus proof will crash back to earth having never reached its goal of baikonur launch station force. hopes were high when the phobos rocket was launched from the cosmodrome here in baikonur in kazakstan it was the first interplanetary mission russia hundred 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 child since turned to fears of a potential catastrophe boost stage of the rocket went ok it went off into the overt of earth but then the problem started the second stage was supposed to commence with the cruise rockets firing that would carry the phobos 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 phobos is most likely heading right back down to earth it's likely that it will happen about the end of november beginning of december the predicted date given at the moment is the twenty sixth of november as earth's gravitational field slowly pulled the spacecraft 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 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 the chances of it landing on a populated area of very small and the and so what the chances that it will cause any harm but the chance is there and that's what experts in mission control are trying to avoid. reporting there our interview in the weekend's latest sports news still ahead here on our table before that i'll be back with a recap of the headlines after a short break stay with us live. in
