well this again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. corporations are today. the british prime minister turns his tour of asia into a weapons sales pitch seeking arms deals with nations in the pacific it's a move that many see as an attempt to undermine china's growing clout. syria says government troops will stop all military operations on thursday morning in accordance with the u.n. brokered deadline for ceasefire with opposition fighters. and as russia urges foreign partners to use their primary game for the promote peace in syria the u.s. is using on the climatic languished towards moscow i'll be back with more in just
11:01 am
a few minutes. and palestinians say the wave of revolutions in the arab world has diverted international attention from the issue of illegal israeli settlements on their land. it's good to have you with us today here on our t.v. on the receive live in moscow selling the best defense equipment to one of the world's most important democracies how the british prime minister has defended his stop off in indonesia as part of his arms trade of asia it comes a decade after the country saw an embargo by the u.k. itself for using british jets to bomb civilians david cameron arrives in jakarta from japan as britain seeks to boost its military presence in the region all of this ongoing in china's backyard. when it reports on this.
11:02 am
selling weapons is quickly becoming what britain does best prime minister david cameron unashamedly touting 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 just must be perfectly predictable result of being the shifting of focus of american attention in the attention of much of the world's leadership pacific region as china obviously continues to be an economic powerhouse and and even india and other countries in the region threaten to actually become more economically dominant i think with that comes the attended attention from the militaries of that of the u.s. and u.k. and other countries america's recently announced plans to station two thousand and
11:03 am
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 i physically presence the british government claims is needed these geopolitics are relevant but i think that's even more reason for the u.k. to engage with what is one of the few allies in the region with over thirty executives from the u.k.'s highly profitable arms industry this isn't the first time david cameron's been criticized for turning an overseas trip into a travelling 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 eight prime minister david cameron has been forced to defend his party weapons manufacturers saying it's perfectly responsible and respectable but this is
11:04 am
a region that's highly sensitive to any kind of military maneuver. tensions of the moment particularly high up north korea's planned rocket launch later this week is stoking the traditional regional panic japan and south korea threatening to shoot it down fearing it's a disguise long range missile test similar suspicions are being cast on china too as japan and south korea seek allies further afield you certainly do not want to confront china at the moment and they will not have the resources to build their respective military strains to counterbalance china so the best the best approach at a moment of course is to count on. more strategically and more foreign powers into the region so as to have a go at chalons of exerting the pressure of the international community on
11:05 am
china until now britain and america have had to make do with exerting their influence on the region from a far but with the talk of a physical presence there the fear is it could upset the balance either bennett's r.t. london. paging steams ahead to overtake the u.s. as the world's largest economy assays it's got to where the washington is ready to be number two the full program coming your way in just a little over twenty minutes here on what's. there is a lot of parallels to be drawn here between the declining power of the united states and the declining powers of europe but let us remember that even after the decline in european quality of life g.d.p. per capita air quality. education level control of the corruption are still much much better than most of the emerging markets are here for you know what they do good people you know supposedly talking about our education is much better
11:06 am
in america then again asia for example gets better job because i'm just looking at the international part they always coming on top i obviously education seems to me considerably better in asia and then say that this is not the case you know shows maybe that something wrong with that here gratian america. cross-talk is a leg of a sour here on the program now the syrian defense ministry says it will halt all military operations by thursday morning this in accordance with the un brokered cease fire agreement earlier special envoy kofi annan said his peace plan is very much alive somewhat and countries again unleash a barrage of criticism at the regime for its alleged failure to stick to commitments on a boycott is following the situation from damascus. on one hand you have every party to the conflict vocal support for this proposal but on the other hand many syrians here. they west and its arab allies essential trying to stop at auschwitz
11:07 am
initiative before it had any chance to beat fully realized now the deadline for a general cease fire is expected to expire at six am local time on thursday but the statements we've been hearing from our years policymakers all throughout these past week have essentially buried this initiative already on the top of that runs the two senior year is senator john mccain and joe lieberman made a surprise visit to one of the refugee camps on the turkish syrian border and they're once again. arming the opposition that at a time when koffi annan it ah there are supporters of his peace initiative including russia are really working hard to try to put pressure on their side government to try to persuade it to speed up the pullout of forces from some of the northern settlements and trying to persuade him not to respond in such
11:08 am
a manner to the attacks a guy that militarized a position as far as russia goes it does strengthen and tough on its language with regards to syria russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov after meeting his syrian counterpart on wednesday in moscow sad that the syrian authorities could have and should have been more decisive and more proactive in a hearing to the kofi annan peace plan but he also made it clear that it was only fair worth while other parties would put the same pressure on the opposition and would persuade opposition fighters to lay down their arms. he says that voices coming from the u.s. and some other countries from the sensory. kane's last remark to reporters was next year when i'm asked this kind of attitude is hardly. the teacher to cease fire that. is trying to set out from amongst the opponents of
11:09 am
syria there is not good will clearly among some states and our single out here saudi arabia and qatar they want the syrian government destroyed their interest is not reform in syria their interest is not treating the syrian people they are interested not human rights the syrian people are there their own people don't have those rights so what is a game in syria what they want they want yes a government. that is for largely sectarian reasons they're trying to set up a watch of michael's willingness and wall across the middle east to block iran and to block the rise she is across the region iran syria just all are tied up in a strategic alliance across the region and saudi arabia wants a great alliance for reasons of its own those reasons also converge with the determination of the united states. so you can see there is most definitely a very big geo going on here which will determine the shape of middle east for a long time to come and a wild russia has called on foreign powers to use diplomatic leverage to stop
11:10 am
hostilities the u.s. has accused moscow of being a roadblock in its drive to topple the syrian regime developments in the crisis torn country will be a hot topic as foreign ministers from g. eight countries are gathering in washington for a two day meeting let's not cross over while he's going into china who is now standing by for us in the u.s. capital gynae with this whole apparent difference in opinion between the countries are we likely to see some heated debate do you think. yes story right now the rhetoric essentially between the u.s. and russia is very tense to say the least secretary clinton said russia's refusal to support quote unquote constructive action by the u.n. security council on the crisis in syria is keeping its president bashar al assad in power the u.s. ambassador to the united nations susan rice went even further saying russia and china have quote blood on their hands for refusing to go along with an intervention in syria and that she was discussed that her words very graphic statements one
11:11 am
would argue are totally undiplomatic susan rice is generally known for making on diplomatic statements and sometimes getting too creative with facts for example she wants announce that khadafi troops were being issued as niagra and told to rape as a measure against terror but interesting u.s. military and intelligence officials said there was no evidence no basis for miss rice's claims anyways their policy makers here who are very pro intervention and they tend to blame russia for all that's happening in syria so that's the kind of environment that russian diplomats have to work in and it is a very tough environment i suppose pushing for a political solution with the guy a lot between the opposition and the government where is the u.s. and the u.k. for example calmed the syrian opposition not to hold any talks with the president with president assad and to continue fighting essentially also use a gun and live in the u.s.
11:12 am
capitol thank you. for some hawks in washington keep calling for military interference in syria or launching a preemptive strike on iran the majority of americans are against such steps as according to opinion polls which often reveal views to the authorities or unwilling to listen to next hour on r.t. will bring you an interview with the c.e.o. of the major u.s. pollster gallup has a preview of what's to come. americans are and are not nearly as war aggressive as who were. the few years ago we have enormous. war fatigue now that's not really a positive for iran in the way that americans believe that iran has nuclear capabilities they believe that they're evil all that they want to do bad and all that kind of thing but americans really want to take a break from war.
11:13 am
live from moscow this is our take palestinians have appealed to the u.n. security council asking for congo nation of israel settlement activity this comes ahead of a meeting of major world powers aimed at jumpstarting peace talks between the two sides and as artie's explains ordinary palestinians feel they're being marginalized and mistreated of their own lives while the world's attention is focused on the arab spring palestinians are focused on a different kind of spring the kind that farmers rely on for the livelihood and without which many palestinian villages would not survive. i'm afraid to stand here even though this is the soldiers and settlers often come here to harass us you being here protects me israelis are controlling offspring of the source of our water. this is not the style of village a place where the tommy tribe has lived for some four hundred years but nearly
11:14 am
three decades ago and israeli settlements sprung up next door and slowly started encroaching on the villages land today a third of what used to be to mean the ground is controlled by settlers so. it's very frustrating to see the settlement on loans that is ours which we can no longer access it's part of a plan and i'm afraid that the day will come when they will knock on my door and say this house it's not yours it's ours or the one spin of the area is the main source of water for these palestinian farmers but they can now only access it ten hours a week by the city's use of all the time and far from it being a necessity for them they are making money using it as a truism site the settlers have been investing a lot of effort to try to get the israeli public to come here internet sites and advertisement talk about a great response wineries and of course magnificent springs. and not the silent spring is one of fifty six that the united nations detailed in
11:15 am
a recent report. eighty four percent of the springs are powerless to. to kind of submerge and exasperate. the lab where water is raise a record model to dispose of the refrigerator is a generation that's lost because you said it was a come on because the risk of palestinians feel the water spin issue is only the tip of the iceberg because while the world is zoomed in on the out spring these rays are using the chance to go dark it was nice i think it's a perfect time for the israelis to step up. their actions against the palestinian i think the wall is busy with themselves nobody nobody is keen to hear about the palestinian the last year. has been record in terms of the increase in the number of new housing units israel have very limited or. in the occupied territories as expansion of settlements and so for as long as the world
11:16 am
remains focused on the big battles happening across the arab world the daily find these farmers put up for if we drop of water will continue i noticed policy r t and now he's a living wage palestinian administration. still ahead for you this hour in the program indian protesters rage against nuclear expansion behind the protest movement on much bigger powers who are green with envy of an environmentalist. the swiss the plant that was responsible for causing the world's worst industrial disaster and now it had been abandoned in a condition where it had become a source of pollution of the most recent study that was done shows that this water
11:17 am
pollution and spreading. more than a hundred thousand. troops walking in the. times more likely to be born with birth defects in children in the rest of the country. in the sea as little as five hundred dollars. and the unpunished. we are not far away from the business with marina but for now the world update will start with indonesia where a series of powerful earthquakes circuit off the west coast causing widespread panic all around the indian ocean mass evacuations took place in many coastal

peaceful reasons taking place on the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of the nation's founder kim il sung liftoff showed it will take place between thursday and sunday depending on weather conditions. india's ambitious nuclear energy plans are being met head on by a growing green protest movement the indian government however has accused the us of stoking the opposition but as artie's preassure reports american interests are driven by money rather than that of environment. protests have erupted across india outside of nuclear power stations like this one the cool down call in plant a joint indian and russian venture in the south that will be the largest such electricity generating facility in the country construction of nuclear power plants in india has been stalled because of growing opposition and now the indian government has said it's the united states that's behind the protests motivated by
11:20 am
american business interests there could be. interested there could be you know. the politics of the nuclear industry or. geopolitical concerns that the india's prime minister manmohan singh has taken away the licenses of three n.g.o.s and put seventy seven more on the global watch list for key believes american n.g.o.s are helping fund anti-nuclear protesters while such aid is not illegal the action reflects government anger at what delhi sees as interference in india's internal affairs and energy policy in a recent interview to the american journal science prime minister singh said the atomic energy program has got us into difficulties because these n.g.o.s mostly i think based to the us still appreciate the need for country to increase energy and . the protesters deny that they are receiving funds from america the small amount
11:21 am
of money that we need comes from our own people the fisherman. part of it. but according to information from the indian home ministry released to parliament last year one third of indian ngo funding actually came from the united states india have maintained that developing a peaceful nuclear energy program will only help the country meet its growing energy needs and to create the pendants on foreign sources of energy but other countries see india's growing energy needs. a potential business opportunity while the u.s. says it's got no objection to india's civilian nuclear program u.s. and western firms will be keen that they win the business rather than russian firms in last years and has been no access to the international nuclear market as this great market but they would billions of dollars. while protesters may be simply opposed to nuclear power some of the money behind them may
11:22 am
be motivated by very different reasons and power of american business interests to keep others out of one of the world's fastest growing energy markets preassure either r. t. india. and always a lot more on the stories we're covering on the other stories we haven't covered but our dog can go to our website to check out for example and see corporate cogs firmly out of tune with big business the new. giving musical voices to protesters anger you can hear the songs of artsy talk. also the customer is always right but certainly not in this case i want to hear this man who revved into a fury after leaving his car in for service to find out what the rampage will cost him and why he got so hot and bothered after mechanics took too long to service his car great footage to talk on.
