the british prime minister of power is ahead with his arms sales pitch in asia opening up the u.k.'s war arsenal to the nation surrounding china. and there's still a chance of a truce says the special envoy to syria while u.s. congress hawks cozy up with syrian rebels and step up calls to supply them with arms also. on the wall is busy with themselves nobody nobody is. on the scene and. arab revolutions forced the palestinian crisis on the back burner leaving people to battle for basic essential offering cover for israel to do one of the. last critics a spanish plans for

a vegas style gambling empire to make money and jobs with actually and boosting the sex industry more than the economy. it is eight am in the russian capital you're watching r t with me wearing a joshua welcome to the program i joined anglo japanese weapons research captain a permanent british naval presence in asia those are the first fruits of british prime minister david cameron's latest and biggest push to hawk his country's weapons to the orient surrounded by a retinue of arms dealers representing the u.k.'s oldest and biggest weapons makers cameron is currently on a five day tour across the continent the british leader also called for indonesia to be allowed to buy weapons in bulk. that just

a decade after the country was embargoed by london itself for using british jets to bomb civilians before the u.k. prevented reports aside from standing to make an explosive profit there's also the benefit of irritating china. selling weapons is quickly becoming what britain does best prime minister david cameron's in japan to unashamedly tout the u.k.'s military hardware only he calls it flying the flag for britain it's seeking to become only the second country other than america to trade arms with japan not only big business but the chance for a crucial foothold in what's clearly a place to be because musk you know perfectly predictable result of the shifting of focus of american attention in the attention of much of the world to be asia pacific region as china obviously continues to be an economic powerhouse and and even in the and in other countries in the region for him to actually become more economically dominant i think with that comes the attended attention from being

militaries of the u.s. and the u.k. and other countries america's recently announced plans to station two thousand the remains in australia hoping to exert influence in a region china says isn't theirs to meddle in and britain could soon join them part of his defense deal with japan could see a british hunter submarine deployed in china's backyard complete with missiles and all the physical presence the british government claims is needed these geopolitics are relevant but i think that's even more reason for the going out there to engage with what is one of a few key allies in the region david cameron's in japan with over thirty executives from the u.k.'s highly profitable arms industry this isn't the first time he's been criticized that turning an overseas trip into a traveling sales pitch cameron was left red faced last year when on the same trip he went from praising democratic uprisings in cairo to flogging weapons in q wait

prime minister david cameron has been forced to defend his party weapons manufacturers saying it's perfectly responsible and respectable but this is a region that's highly sensitive to any kind of. three maneuver attentions at the moment particularly high north korea's planned rocket launch later this week is stoking the traditional regional panic japan and south korea are threatening to shoot it down fearing it's a disguise long range missile test similar suspicions are being cast on china too and japan and south korea seek allies further afield he certainly do not want to confront i know more and they do not have the resources to. risk it militarily strains on sanger so the best. approach out of norman of course is to count on to get. more strategically and more

foreign power goes into the region so as to have a better challenge of exerting the pressure of the international community on china until now britain and america have had to make do with exerting influence on the region from afar but with the talk of a physical presence there are theories it could upset the balance are the bennett r t. the speed of china's unprecedented economic crisis caught mary by surprise and today the question is not if but when beijing world we take the u.s. as the world's largest economy and that's one of the themes up for discussion based cross stuff coming your way at seven thirty g.m.t. . i still think the china has a long way to go no no denying that trying to groan about it is but it has a long way to go before it can get close to even think you are passing us ok. i will say six years isn't deadline you know it if you actually know how to i bet

there is the former comptroller of the united states the guy who is in charge of auditing the books of the u.s. government david walker has been saying earlier this year that the u.s. is now where greece was two years ago in terms of instead crisis of just under present numbers is six years is not really their plan the future. the u.n. security council has called on damascus to stick to a six point peace plan and finally changes course plans are kofi annan signaled the syrian government hasn't fully complied with its commitments here tuesday deadline to withdraw troops from towns however he believes it's too early to bury the truce effort and so thursday when a full ceasefire should come into force at the same time the opposition stirred up by u.s. war hawks as war and it's not ready to lay down arms yet i surprise trip to the turkish syrian border senators john mccain and joe lieberman met with rival leaders

and repeated their car for fighters to be armed and while russia has called on foreign powers to use the american friends to start stories u.s. has accused moscow of being a roadblock in its drive to topple the syrian regime political analyst professor jamal wakim says washington is determined to rule peace efforts. the united states is trying to back down on its agreement with the russians over a compromise regarding syria and this is we can understand militant groups or armed groups stepping up their fight against the syrian government and another. failed the initiative of coffee and is being pushed by the united states in order to hurt us the syrians especially by supporting through providing safe haven for armed groups to. launch attacks on the syrian government and the syrian troops.

israel have method or. in the occupied territories as expansion of settlements and so for as long as the world remains focused on the big battles happening across the arab world the daily fight these farmers push out for if we drop of water will continue i noticed policy r t and now the smell of age palestinian of ministration . coming out later this hour here on r.t. . developing the atomic energy sector in india turns into a pitched battle between competing interests and some american stakeholders argues that stirring up and to nuclear protests to pursue economic goals. and we've got expert opinion on the latest whistle blowing case in the u.s. and the training of labeling spies those who expose government misconduct. spain is going ahead with
