sentosa financial influence which is dominating the u.s. has been criticizing china for its trade and currency practices and r.t. is an associate check in the reports of the fact that next year summit is taking place in russia could help to solve some of the biggest sticking points. 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 seeing really mounting pressure at home to create more jobs and take a stop a tougher stance on china he has been saying here in honolulu that it's time for china to start playing by the rules of 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 foreign creditor for the united states holding over one trillion dollars in u.s. debt russia is pretty excited to host the apec summit next year in the far eastern city of lot of us basically 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 world players so this is certainly a good role that russia can play when it comes to continuing to develop the goals of the gathering and of course last but not least you know very the session 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 spearhead this gathering next year as a full fledged member of the w t o. going to reporting right but this year the u.s. and china continue to align competing economic programs who insisted on more influence for beijing is a growing power while obama zeroed in on china's trading decisions on a boycott now explains the differences sort of

a hold up between the two. if there is any us state where the occupy movement has little chance it's probably why despite the high concentration of politicians in wall street big week socializing at the apec summit the only place people are willing to occupy here on mass at the beach is with one exception these pictures tourists are against greed and social injustice they're against the canonical equality and they are against china. i. mean sudan clearly the mood at the podium was similar to hostile i think we can benefit from trade with china and i want certainly to continue cultivating a. constructive relationship with the chinese government but we're going to continue to be firm in insisting that they operate by the same rules

that. everybody else operates on his political opponents were even in the military and i happen to think that the. communist chinese government will end up on the ash heap of history if they do not change their version we have to have china understand that like everybody else on the world stage they have to play by the rules rules rules and again rules as a country that's been ruling the roost for decades the united states has never been shy of policing others but as china's g.d.p. continues adding nine percent a year against the g eight and a half percent growth in the u.s. the reprimand seems to be internally driven conformities one of the top values in the chinese meal devolved also reflected in the country's political and economic policy that's not that china doesn't play by their rules it's actually quite the opposite what the united states seems to have an issue with is that increasingly china rules that they pretty much washington would prefer to keep it. as the u.s.

president hailed his new free trade asia pacific pact as a win win to boost trade in the region some in china took it as a predator effort to change rules made game free trade tend to be. in the eyes of the beholder. it true for you but protectionist free provided that i get to protect my precious industries that well will. so it's always a dilemma as to how free it is as the euro crisis continues metastasizing throughout the world and china is asked to shoulder the load many analysts say the west should keep in mind its old adage about he who pays the piper china is really in the driver's seat in many respects and this is coming out 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 many chinese proverbs are difficult to translate into english here those

about money usually have exact equivalents. one of them is money makes the world go round the concept experientially familiar to washington and progressively so to beijing it's not our apec summit in honolulu. just a bit earlier here on out we spoke to professor from the chinese university of hong kong he told us that it's the political reasons in the united states that are driving washington's criticism of beijing it's created the difficult days before the u.s. to raise employment rates. the current the difficulties of the us government in creating jobs the fact that the us has lost the competitive it's a competitive advantage in most of the traditional manufacturing industry so you hear china reduced their its exports to the us by increasing its rates at the low

wage emerging market countries to quit the staff even to repress china so these kind of debate i think the chinese leaders are quite clear minded you know upholding the interest the national interests of the u.s. the presidential election is approaching and that case the chinese economy and they can use the currency. i used to ask a. scapegoat for us a difficult economic difficulties again. recent thread that's why i mean the us theory i cannot gain. now asia pacific leaders in hawaii also keen to shield themselves from the fallout of the eurozone letter here and see whether government changes in the e.u. will provide any protection. technocrat governments are taking over in debt ridden greece and italy but critics say they'll be better able to serve the interests of brussels. and you're in the army now well nearly

tough a military like discipline looks set to be introduced in some u.k. schools but will it make the unruly youth perfectly behaved we are set to investigate. now nearly ten minutes past the hour here in moscow syria has called an emergency meeting of the arab league in an attempt to reverse the decision which sort of suspended from the organization of the freeze on the country's membership and accompanying sanctions received wide support from the e.u. and the united states an overwhelming majority of member states voted for the measure to urge president bashar al assad to stop eight months of violence it triggered thousands strong protests in damascus and attacks on the turkish french and saudi embassies russia has opposed syria suspension from the arab league and said western nations are inciting the conflict author and journalist afshin rattansi thinks the conflict in syria is being fueled from abroad and could drag on for quite some time. many syrian soldiers have died in the conflict they don't

normally report that here they just say that civilians where are they getting the weapons from lockheed martin exhibiting in the dubai said the profits are up they said profits a very good in the middle east at the moment what i think i fear 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 will 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. get that turkey has been actively involved in the even told us diplomatic staff and as i understand it does advise its own citizens to leave syria to turkey is playing a game here too and the media is playing a massive game qatar's television station al-jazeera very obviously wanting the four of us out at the moment and the western media too and it is all change for

europe technocrat government takeover in greece and italy in rome the former e.u. commissioner merry go monti starts talks to form a new cabinet so tackle the country's huge debt sarah first now explores whether the new unelected leaders can do a better job than the old. it was never going to be easy to put this suit unite you're at seventeen countries of which you know on the one currency from the very beginning attracted fierce criticism we've witnessed the beginning of a dishonest and downright dangerous german president. to revive the constitution but to do it in such a way that you want to avoid referendums like a member states some might now be wishing they'd heeded the warnings to one after another the member states began to local police 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 crohn's and germany hardly the u.k. certainly the european parliament and the commission going to start the crisis the safest in the leaders of greece and italy replaced by people who were never elected to office he knew their way around brussels here it is totally with berlusconi now gone doesn't that paying for reforms now need to be implemented to meet tough. 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 europe because 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 i think you know you're right you have behaved badly we're going to punish that's not a union in united states of america they behaved badly imagine taxes behaving badly what you think obama is going to do we're going to kick you out of united

states of america no they're not going to do the cooking sense in the bad year oakley today. has not gone on missed by struggling countries lost it's clear that those who have a spend less now face a painful story to measure is the sense of being treated like a naughty school child. added to the. community. now well so the say it will expose much more france and especially germany to the times there are big must be up to us to say to to express a political leadership not just for their own countries but for europe as a whole your attentions have not called on missed by the financial markets punish political leaders. in dealing with the crisis in struggling economies like italy and now cool even the. mistakes it's least being considered by many the test case for the entire a year you say it fails and it can take down the entire. the question now is

whether or not those measures can fix the whether we'll see them going the same way as previous measures put forward by european leaders who say fails to come up with a convincing. third. and nearly quarter past the hour now here in the russian capital a three man crew bound for the international space station has now successfully lifted off from the baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan this is the first manned flight after a similar soyuz rocket carrying an unmanned supply vessel crashed back to earth shortly after takeoff that was not three months ago so. he was at the launch pad for us. launch time at the baikonur cosmodrome these three men have gone up to join their colleagues on the international space station but they're late and unhappy about why it is a risky business you can never eliminate risk altogether that that's the bargain that you make for the privilege of flying humans in space and accomplishing what

they do up there on the twenty fourth of august a supply rockets engines failed on its way up to the i.s.a.'s and it plummeted back to worth with a bang it was a mound but all launches were put on hold but worries about the safety of soyuz rockets now the only link to the space station crew since the last u.s. shuttle flight and july. this crew of their launch date set back their relatives were especially nervous after the progress crash what do you think about your husband's launch coming up so soon. it's too difficult it's better not to talk about it. the crew themselves though accept the dangers as part of the job because we're upset about the accident of course but every big project has some room for failure unfortunately this is not completely avoidable but we shouldn't dramatize the situation. and so it was the rocket was lifted into place on its

launch pad we can see the rocket taking off now and we'll watch the progress. but. with a deep sighs of relief all watched as the rocket blasted successfully into orbit leaving the crew to experience what all the rest of us only dream about. you can actually get a good view of the earth during the flight and the spacecraft are but surely will have time to enjoy their better while on the international space station for that view and from ams future in space they say the risk is worth it. tom barton r.t. . now the u.k. plans to get tough on gang culture by opening schools with stringent army like discipline or the measure was proposed in response to the riots that shook the u.k. in the summer and while the plans authors believe discipline is key critics fear it could actually alienate a problem with youths further bennett now explains the story. 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 swap the front line for the front of a classroom following the riots across the u.k. the government fast tracking troops into teaching as a way it says to restore adult or thorazine wants to provide more male role models even giving teachers new powers to use physical force as a way to control disruptive peoples it's not a bad thing for children to know where they stand. if they expect their side of the lie they will be punished accordingly if they stay on the right side of the line. in the confines of the law and they will not be polished it's a line few would cross with a teacher like this afghans going to be headmaster at a new school where every teacher will be

a former soldier uniform inspections and military style roll calls but with the polish of a 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've seen the police behave towards our kids is to gangs isn't it you could say the police are a gang it would be the army case kids i think they 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 ruler because they're bored putting discipline in isn't the answer just on the tone this is yes but actually making sure to go 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 he passed fourteen a far cry from someone supposedly too disruptive to teach. more discipline for children in schools do you think that would have worked for. only one. class of poor and cause there's no talking it's just shit works. for coastal the wouldn't really want to. today listening to an individual attention was the only thing that turned this boy's education around but with a system that prides itself on conformant see the battle could be only just beginning i've been it's on the london. twenty past the hour here mind you can always find more stories on our website a quick look now at
