the latest summit of the civic powers in hawaii opens a financial can of worms between the united states and china. a new twist in the currency wars between the u.s. and china as washington calls on b.g. to start playing by the rules but china is calling its own shots we bring you all the latest details from honolulu just ahead in the program. syria seeks to reverse the arab league's decision to booted out of the organization and growing into a regime protest which critics claim are sponsored from abroad. as just minutes before a crew of three blasted off from baikonur the first launch since a similar rocket carrying an unmanned supply of graphics crashed back to earth.

it's eight am in the russian capital you're watching r t i'm wearing a joshie welcome to the program as a gathering out of the pacific rim split a call an economic heavyweights winds down in hawaii it's the latest rift between the world's two biggest economies which is dominating the u.s. has been lobbying for open asia pacific markets and criticizing china for its trade and currency practices let's now cross lifestyle correspondent as usual by first. i see so are we seeing a new round of currency wars brewing there. well marina it looks like a new cloudy chapter in the book of currency wars between the united states and china has certainly been opened here at the apec summit in honolulu as barack obama is seen really mounting pressure to homes to create at home to create more jobs and

take a tougher stance on china he has been seeing here in honolulu that it's time for china to start playing by the rules as we know of course the united states has been incessant in demanding that china increase the value of the you on the united states believe that an undervalued currency creates an unfair competition for the united states and the united states the u.s. presidents wants to make sure that this is something that's gotten rid of because it creates an unfair disadvantage for american businesses according to obama but china is really refusing to cooperate when it comes on this to this because they're saying it's their sovereign rights been calling for mutual respect when it comes to decision making in the global markets and mentally many analysts have got i have to say vincit been standing behind china since this is a sovereign rights of regulating currency that china is completely fair to to abide by now it's interesting that while hu jintao has been quiet politically correct

while speaking on this issue there is a tradition at a park summits where leaders get together and where national costumes for a photo opportunity it's really a fun time for leaders to each other in the back and joke around but this year journalists were surprised to see that this photo op in hawaiian shirts never happened and we were hearing that this is because china was refusing to put on the one shirt so it really looks like the united states had a hard time during these last two days at apac in honolulu convincing china not only when it comes to economic issues but really issues of the wardrobe as well and this is something that many analysts are not surprised to see because the u.s. currently doesn't have a lot of leverage when it comes to dealing with china as china of course is the largest organ creditor for the united states holding over one trillion dollars in u.s. debt. all right well russia is hosting the asia pacific summit next year and with its w c o accession hope to be completed shortly what can i bring to the table.

well you know marina you're absolutely right russia is in fact pretty excited to host the apec summit next year in the far eastern city of la the russian president has been seeing here that russia's whole set everything is in full swing to get prepared for this and you know recently russia is not only just geographically very well strategically placed for the asia pacific. gathering and this big economic group because of the where it is on the world map it's really convenient in terms of reaching the goals of the group in terms of trade investment so on and so forth but it's also traditionally been a big mediator when it comes to certain misunderstandings between the world's players so this is certainly a good role that russia can play when it comes to continuing to develop the goals of the gatherings and of course last but not least you know russians especially to the world trade organization is something that the russian federation has been ready for for quite some time for almost

a decade so certainly it's been ready to go this entire time so what better time than now to really spare have this gathering next year as a full fledged member of the w t o. c thanks very much indeed for bringing us this update live from honolulu and if the teacher can. asia pacific leaders in hawaii were also keen to shield themselves from the fallout in the euro zone and europe itself it's all changes technocrat governments take over greece and italy in rome commissioner mario monti is starting talks to form a new cabinet to tackle debt arky sarah further exploration whether leaders no one voted for will do a better job down the old crew. it was never going to be easy to put unite you're at seventeen countries of which are now under one currency from the very beginning attracted fierce criticism we've witnessed the beginning of a dishonest i'm telling right dangerous german president. to revive the constitution but to do it in such

a way that you want to avoid referendums in the states some might now be wishing they'd heeded the warnings to one after another the member states begin to wobble it's least the latest country to come under scrutiny we have been witnessing in the last. growing pressure from europe and i'm talking in particular from france and germany partly the u.k. certainly the european parliament and the commission is going to start but the crisis is so far seen the leaders of crete and italy replaced by people who were never elected to office he knew their way around brussels and here it is really with berlusconi now gone doesn't. paying for reforms now need to be implemented to meet the demands for the first time since the crisis began talks have now begun to turn to the possibility of exit from the year or the creation of the cool euro

countries like germany seem to be leading the way but i think it's not in the best interest of the germans to keep on going with this article over here where you have behaved badly we're going to punish that's not a union in united states of america if a spade behaves badly imagine texas behaving badly when you think obama's going to we're going to kick you out of united states of america no they're not going to be calling sense a bad year old we've had a good year inquiry has not gone on missed by struggling countries was this clear that plays he way to spend less now face painful austerity measures the sense of being treated like a naughty school child any. added to the growing strain in the euro community if it's only now started because well so the say there will expose much more france and especially germany to the times there are big must be up to a say two to express a politically defeat not just for their own countries but for europe as a whole your attentions have not caught on missed by the financial markets punish

political leaders situating the feet in dealing with the crisis and struggling economies like italy's and now calls are leaving the for mistakes it's least being considered by many the test case for the entire a year you say it fails and it could take down the entire fifth the the question now is whether or not those measures can fix the weather will see them going the same way as previous measures put forward by european leaders who say fails to come up with a convincing your rescue service. italy's president believes the new government could unite the country's political forces to tackle the crisis but financial advisor patrick young says a change of leadership in rome is not a miracle cure to take it out of crisis. the real problem here is the idea that suddenly overnight because we changed the brand in the name of mining over the door of the office of prime minister with a little miraculous cheer and shouldn't believe and the truth is italy has

a huge amount of debt they need to sell it in 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 what may because the markets have lost faith not just in a belief but in fact in europe's so-called political leadership we're doing anything bought lead and more we're looking at here is you know it's a little bit like i suppose trying to govern way and you're used to the idea of propelling a speedboat to run the country and in fact changing a nation is much more like captaining them all the time during the tricks these things several miles in order to manage to stop and turn round and it's the same with governments i mean the been told until recently everything was absolutely fine there was nothing to worry about annoy all of a sudden new police being told oh gosh actually we're hawkers we have to cut back on every possible service within government everybody is going to lose money we'd like you to just trust us the politicians who have been obviously been telling the

truth all along. and many more stories still to come this hour here on our year in the army now well almost tough military like discipline looks set to be introduced again son you case calls but well it make the unruly youth perfectly behaved we investigate health. plans budget cuts in the u.s. threatened to hit those who guarantee america's security the hardest war in just a few moments. syria has called an emergency meeting of the arab league in an attempt to reverse the decision which saw it suspended from the organization the freeze on the country's membership and accompanying sanctions received wide support from the e.u. and the u.s. an overwhelming majority of member states voted for the measure to urge president bashar asad. to stop eight months of violence but it also triggered new protests and attacks on the turkish french and saudi arabian embassies in damascus dozens

more people were reportedly killed across the country on sunday in the latest wave of crackdowns on anti-government protests author and journalist afshin rattansi thinks the conflict in syria streamed fuel of from abroad and could drag on for some time many syrian soldiers have died in the conflict they don't normally report but here they just say it civilians where are they getting the weapons from. exhibiting the biafra profits are up place of profits a very good in the middle east at the moment what i think i fear and what many analysts may be fearing at the moment 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 and even a kind of back seat almost and also forget that turkey has been actively involved in this even though this diplomatic stuff and as i understand it has advised you to citizens to leave syria to turkey's big game here to the media is playing

a massive game casarez television station al-jazeera very obviously one thing before at the moment and the western media two and three man crew bound for the international space station is preparing to lift off from the viking or cosmodrome and castle stand it will be the first manned flight after a similar studies rocket carrying an unmanned supply vessel crashed back to earth shortly after take off three months ago i'll tell martin is watching and have variations on the ground for us. hello to you tom so how's the atmosphere on the launch pad and is the crew nervous. you can see this is a clip where we. in the viewing platform is a little bit chilly but through the swirling snow about a kilometer away three men are inside a rock is about to blast off to the international space station anatoly it's

a nation on tom scotto and daniel but the three crew conducting their final checks know before being launched up to the international space station when they get there will be spending six months out but how to still use module top of the rocket so they will go out then overcome their emergency escape vehicle recently we were all reminded of the serious need for possible a stake plunged in july this year the u.s. retired space shuttle program and that meant the story this was the only link up to the international space station and then in all this on land supplies ical going on a rocket failed on its descent into orbit and plymouth is struggling with a whole flight of rockets were suspended and it sent shock waves through all

those involved in this program and raised serious questions about reliability. we can feel rocky take a look and we watch all the progress respond to it fly to. the news the problem. with.

very very soon results of a little. rocky. course because in baikonur. we wish them the best of luck. the rest of the crew. right on it was certainly exciting to watch there's an especially against the snow background there and certainly we do hope for the very best for the crew and their mission thanks so much indeed tom for bringing the subject live the baikonur cosmodrome cast. the u.k. plans to get tough on gang culture by opening schools with tough army why discipline the measure was proposed in response to the riots that shook the u.k. last summer and while the plans are there is believed discipline is key critics fear it could actually alienate problem use further i regret it explains as the

going gets tough the tough get going army boot camps are the places set out of line it's this culture of self control the government now wants to bring into schools so it's calling on the cavalry well former soldiers to sort the front line at the front of the classroom following the riots across the u.k. the government troops into teaching as a way through store adults or thorazine to provide more male role models even giving teaches new powers to use physical force as a way to control disruptive people's it's not a bad thing for children to know where they stand. if they start this side of the line they will be punished accordingly if they stay on the right side of the line that they're in the clones of the law and they will not be punished it's a line few would cross but a teacher like this and friends going to be headmaster at the new school where

every teacher will be a former soldier uniform inspections and military style roll calls will be the polish of the strict routine when you can maintain discipline in the future war which is the most high pressured situation you can maintain discipline in a classroom in oldham but with corporal punishment now a step closer many fear it will push an already alienated youth further away i think they would start building their own gang as they've done towards the police now i think behave thought our kids is to gangs isn't it you can see the police are a gang it would be the army three kids i think it would become more unruly this charity takes in problem people's the state system chucks out and turns their lives around according to teachers here it's about finding the right kind of stimulation rather than just cracking the whip they become a rule because they're bored putting discipline in isn't the answer just on the tone this is yes but at making sure it will something at their own level for this

sixteen year old that happened to be art he was expelled from school after what he'll only refer to as an incident and is still too afraid to be identified back then he was on course to fail all his exams but after just a year passed fourteen a far cry from someone supposedly too disruptive to teach. more discipline for children in schools you think that would have worked. really well so in the class of poor and continental talking as district work. so on and you can focus but we don't really want to go to dinner single individual attention was the only thing that turned this boy's education around but with a system that prides itself on conformance see the battle could be only just beginning august and it's. all you can always find more stories on our website or t

a breakup of the euro zone. that's maybe swallowing up europe but here in russia the budget position is reassuringly strong and i was burbank senior vice president . believes that there is no room for complacency the books may be balanced but the russian economy still has a number of problems that need addressing. in russia is obviously in a very different situation he has as all countries russia faces challenges but those challenges are different. and a fairly good short term position from a fiscal standpoint there are plenty for me shares that being said russia remains critically dependent on commodity prices and. there is some concern over the beach or just about. france take a look at the markets this hour was trading near the highest level more than three months that's on news it may have started building a new government and passes an austerity budget easing fears over europe's debt
