intellectual winds are chilling thought your it's a good good how would international floods achieve every green little her children in total. the latest news and the week's top stories on our t.v. be it back some and wine sees asia in the pacific rim is most powerful economies start working on a possible possible game changing in the free trade zone. the prime ministers of both italy and greece fall and new governments are appointed as their countries drowning in debt. plus a un report claims arend could be seeking to obtain a nuclear weapon but tehran slams the allegations as a u.s. backed smear campaign.

very warm welcome to you i'm karen taraji we start you off with the creation of a landmark free trade zone dominated talks at this year's apec summit which brings together the leaders of asian pacific rim countries barack obama hosted a get together in hawaii and met up with to meet the new video of the churn over some pretty hot topics artie's on us last it's working out brings us more from honolulu. the final day of the apec summit is a two day gathering here in honolulu and the state is really bringing the most important meeting off the whole affair it's one of the twenty one economies get together to sit down around a big table around table for discussion on the topics that they're hearing that they're really here for is treat relationships between the twenty one economies the issues of lifting custom barriers creating a healthier investment climate and really trying to reach an open and free trade zone by the year twenty twenty and this is also a day when they get to mix work with some on this is what the leaders will be gathering for

a photo op when the where the national costume so we're expecting the twenty one leaders to wear some hawaiian shirts so this is really a fun occasion when they get to have a chat have a laugh at each other in the back and really give journalists an opportunity to decipher what all of their body language means and in other events today we're expecting a press conference from the russian president dmitry medvedev who will be summing up the events of the two days and of course next year it will be russia hosting the apec summit so this is certainly something that he's likely to address one of the key meetings of course was the bilateral talks between the russian and american presidents where they discussed whole wide range of different issues but importantly one of them was russia's accession to the world trade organization of course russia has been having a desire to join to join the w t o since one thousand nine hundred three and it should this is something that should be finalized and russia should become a full fledged member by the summer of two thousand and twelve and the russian president really paints the u.s. president for helping out in this whole process he did say that this is the first

u.s. administration that has actually been. positive when it comes to russia's accession to the world trade organization among other issues was of course of course the issue of missile defense where there are still some disagreements between russia and the united states because russia wants the u.s. to provide some legal guarantees that the missile defense plans in europe. not be a threat to russia's security among other issues of course iran the two leaders said that they want to have a joint plan to make sure that iran follows its international obligations so that's just a few of the very many topics being discussed here on the ground so far we have nine countries including the u.s. who have signed up to really start working on this part of transpacific plan it's interesting that the united states has been trying to get more countries to join like you mentioned among them is of course china a major economy that's really making some here over in the united states paranoid that they might lose their sort of main spot is the number one world economy and

it's interesting that china so far has been seeing that these those u.s. plans are a little too a vicious because one of the mean claws of that pact in question would include basically a need for speed owned companies who are get subsidies from the government to be on the scene level really as private companies and since so many industries in china are run by. sort of state and equities it's really a complicated matter for china and would really require a lot of restructuring so this is something that's really for now in the first stages and just includes nine countries for now and while the u.s. currency critical over branchings control of the value of the yuan c.e.o. of country risk solutions dale wagner says it could take over as the world's reserve currency if china can meet expectations. china is really in the driver's seat in many respects and this is coming at an awkward time for the united states

because the united states is clearly a declining power at the same time and is having trouble adjusting to what that means at the same time china is having a bit of a challenge adjusting to what it means to be a truly global player and it has in the past not really lived up to some of the expectations of some other of the world powers and it is finding its own forty in every garden and there really isn't anything that can replace the dollar right now and i think everybody knows that you want is not fully convertible on the capital in the current account certainly the euro doesn't look like it's in any position to take the lead and i mean what currency would take the lead at this point so i think in due course there will be an emerging shift and my guess is that the u. one will ultimately take the helm but before that happens it's probably another five or ten years and the chinese are going to have to do a lot more to ensure that there's a great degree degree of confidence in the you are going forward. outside talks at the apec summit put the finishing touches on russia's ascension into the world

trade organization expected next year experts have long debated whether membership will help diversify and strengthen the russian economy or not our teaser. breaks down the arguments. of the person on the street level yet you know membership will not be just something bill read about in the news but it will mean lower prices removing trade barriers between states increases competition prices of imported goods and the massive companies also group weaker with foreign markets opening up. when 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 news he's lost so much the largest loss in russia's south producing harvester crushers is for months ahead and workers who conspired. but the head of the company has

a rather different outlook to that of the w. cio cheerleaders. will be in demand even without entering the cio coach of. agriculture who will be among the hardest hit sectors but experts say the domestic automotive industry will be the one to undergo most and he will. be troubled mortgage giant the virus 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 our parents is the government's favorite child but not all car makers in russia are cherished this used to be a driving once of musk reach the 1930's most successful years were 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 copper juices that must creature was cast 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 to wisely closely entreats the w.t. have doesn't mean you instantly have control all customs 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 agriculture timber and car making but it is certain point the state's industrial dependence will have to let go of it 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 gradual archie. coming up ethnic tensions on the rise there are fears servers a sense and possible after fresh crash as result in death and injury. and in syria hundreds of thousands come out in support of the government after damascus is banned from the arab league for failing to end the deadly unrest in the country. very monti a former commissioner has been appointed the head of the new caretaker government middle eat all the country back from the financial abyss as follows the resignation of silvio berlusconi who stepped down on saturday having ruled the country's prime minister for a total of ten years and three separate terms archie sarah firth brings us the latest from rome. feeling bad about start another working week on monday spare a thought the former aide commissioner marymount say he's just been appointed by

the president to form a new government and he now faces the massive task of pulling the country back from the financial abyss into which is currently staring so not your usual job description certainly but everyone very much a feeling he's up to the job and everyone's going to be watching extremely closely to see what the results of that will be now he is currently deciding on who will form that new cabinet around an m.p. i was speaking to recently told me it was expected that it will not only be a government of many technocrats but also a rather small gathering around him as well that would be with the intention of creating a more streamlined more effective government who is able to push through these a very serious reforms and can then actually have some of these achievements that have been so long awaited for in the country because these reforms long promised and we fail to see them be delivered safer but he faces an absolutely huge

challenge ahead of him with the feeling amongst the people in italy is certainly with silvio berlusconi resigned as prime minister and with mary monti now at the helm that it's really stands a chance really no one's assuming this is going to be a quick fix to the very serious problems that the country still faces and of course is one thing to pass these measures in is one thing to now see a caretaker government in the process of being formed a nice decisions have happened very quickly there has to be step this weekend of course i'm absolutely desperate right now to send the message that they are able to get a grasp on the very serious situation in the country there's still a lot to be done and these reforms actually have to be implemented and that's going to take years before you see the results of that that you're going to need. democratic legitimacy he going to need support and already there are questions about whether mario monti's going to be able to gain that support in parliament

because he's going to need that to push through these measures that's going to be very very important in the coming days and weeks also whether he's going to be able to get across the public support as well because they're the ones he face these very painful austerity measures the eighty hikes pension cuts job cuts all things that a lot of economists vacancies and not of course conducive to growth which is exactly what the country needs right now months he's a very well respected economist in the country he's certainly going to be very very close to the man but a lot of people think is the right person to guide the country through a very tough time but as he said the task ahead of him is absolutely huge is nickname here is stephen mariano and everyone's going to be certainly hoping he's going to live up to that and he will need to deal with the challenges that lie ahead investment or patrick young says that unless the euro zone take serious action no amount of power shifting will solve its problems. to syria now i think

the real problem here is the idea that suddenly overnight because we change the brand and the name of the man who's taking over the door of the office of prime minister we suddenly get a miraculous change in italy and the truth is italy has a huge amount of debt they need to sell out there to the very near future in order to manage to ensure that they can pay the salaries of teachers and other members of the public service and ultimately it's going to be very difficult come what may because the markets have lost faith not just in italy but in fact in europe so-called political leadership who are doing anything but leading nothing is being led in europe and no solutions are being made and everybody is ultimately playing politics with the livelihoods of individual workers in europe and that's a disaster for everybody in the euro itself is probably going to include by the end of the year perhaps even the end of this month unless we see some serious action. to syria now where hundreds of thousands of government supporters have rallied in

cities across the country angered at syria's suspension from the arab league damascus has since called for an emergency meeting of the organization in an attempt to reverse the decision the league decided to suspend damascus in an attempt to force president assad to implement a peace plan to end the deadly unrest meanwhile dozens more people have reportedly been killed across the country on sunday and the latest wave of crackdowns on anti-government protests this comes as the head of russia's orthodox church is in the country in a bid to regain that sort of bloodshed author and journalist actually seen thinks the conflict in syria has been fueled from abroad and could drag on for some time. many syrian soldiers have died in the conflict i don't normally report but here they just say that civilians where are they getting the weapons from. exhibiting in the dubai said the profits are up they said profits a very good in the middle east at the moment but i think i fear what many analysts may be feeling of the world is that

a saudi backed proxy war will continue and there will be an insurgency that is fighting in syria against the assad government to continue to cause instability in syria and beyond and this will be a sort of slow burn phenomena with the united states and europe taking a kind of backseat almost and also forget the turkey has been actively involved in the even field the diplomatic side of. his advisors and to leave syria. game here to the media is playing a massive game because ours television station al-jazeera very obviously one thing before all of us out of the moment and the western media to. and remember you can always find more stories on our website here's a glimpse of what else you'll find at our t. dot com. amanda europe's last dictator turns against flash mobs the russian leader alexander who question caught takes a tough stance on freedom of assembly. plus you can find a report by our close up team that traveled to russia's black sea coast to see how

the popular resort is attracting growing numbers of air and water sports fans that's all on our web page at our g death column. 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 act despite being under clear nuclear power itself but russia is stressing the need for caution over what appears to be an inconclusive report arounds brushing the allegations aside blaming the u.s. for putting pressure on the international atomic energy agency arraigning lawmakers are now calling for a review of the country's cooperation with the agency graham political scientist saeed mohammad marandi says the i.a.e.a.

his findings are biased and deeply flawed. the whole report itself it's based on forged documents there is absolutely nothing new in the or 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 the 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 no one in the world believed it because it was so absurd this now comes right after that this report if you can 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 where in reality all the documents go back to two thousand and four and the 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

on taliban and islamic militants this comes just a day after a dozen people died during a gun and a mortar attack in the same region. brazilian police are carrying out a massive operation to clear rio de janeiro's the largest slum of drunk drug gangs there a scene a shantytown controlled in parts by local criminal groups is officially home to seventy thousand people although some estimates say the real figure is much higher the project is aimed at cutting crime in the city ahead of the twenty fourteen football the world cup and the twenty sixteen olympics. they were republic of south of the taking to the polls in its first presidential elections since it gained international recognition the new new leader will have his hands full with the country still recovering from a devastating war to secure independence from georgia three years ago artie's medina coach know about reports. this is the first election for a decade now to feature the current leader of south ossetia and who are the quitter

and many have already caught of the vote one of the most unpredictable because of the sheer number of people eager to get their hands on the reins of power seventeen candidates were sad to battle for the top job but just a couple of days before the election that figure dropped eleven when some hopefuls decided to join forces feeling they had a better chance fighting together than fighting each other word on the streets of south of sucha because the current minister of emergency situations and a duly b.b.l. of as favorite president says. we need to start from the development of our region the development of the infrastructure economy and tourism. indeed the number one challenge is to rebuild the devastated region following the war with the georgia three years ago the capital of south the city is he involved still looks like more of a construction site than a home to around thirty thousand people but other candidates feel there is

something far more important than houses that need solid foundations. main problems are not damaged buildings and roads but mostly the lack of unity among the people of our republic we don't feel like we are one nation but as always they resilient people here are putting their hopes in the future. i would like the future presidents of finish what the former one started to finish the construction that's movable self-assertive need so you can omit development that's the first thing that should be done. with so many candidates standing the need for a second round runoff is the only thing that looks certain about this election and i do not question i see reporting from south says here. at technical failure affecting russia's first interplanetary mission in fifteen years has dealt a huge blow to hopes of getting a better understanding of how the universe got there are now fears that thirteen tons of this ground probe will crash back to earth having never reached its goal

r.t. tom burton reports 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 essential catastrophes that boost stage of the rocket went ok it went up into the over it's over but then the problem started the second stage was supposed to commence with the cruise rockets firing that would carry the spoke was spacecraft only ten months 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 the beginning of december they predicted date given at the moment of the twenty sixth of november as earth's gravitational field slowly holds 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 believe this is we or some. luck because. they just. didn't those two so the industry which we still pay attention to the quality of work. the issue for you chicago is route conflict and the pool will not be so goes for it and sometimes that worry finding. a piece of metal can. be a cause so if you'll recall what that rocket is carrying about ten tons of very

toxic and highly flammable fuel and is also a small amount of radioactive material in the equipment on board the 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 what experts at mission control are trying to avoid. and i'll be back with a recap of this week's top stories in today's headlines in just a few minutes don't go away.
