negligent attitudes to the vetting process has led to the croods turning their guns on their mentors. and a new law aiming to protect kids in russia from harmful t.v. content faces criticism for its ambiguous language that threatens to deprive children of programs and cartoons of great cultural value. oh and welcome to our team karen it's monday in two o'clock here in moscow while the world's two largest armies are looking to set up joint military interests as india rolled out the red carpet for the chinese defense minister a rare visit from beijing's military chief to the neighboring country is aimed at pushing for greater unity between the emerging superpowers as well as ramping up

their influence in the region however ties between the two asian giants are already causing concerns across the pacific as priya sridhar explains. this is a historic trip for india as the chinese defense minister hasn't visited this country in nearly a decade and the top priority for the list of things to discuss on this trip are strengthening the india china border and promoting a stronger cooperation between the two countries armed forces many people believe that india and china because they have two of the fastest growing economies in the world should be rivals but a lot of analysts i've spoken with have actually said that a partnership between the neighbors actually makes more sense with forty per cent of the world's population and at a time when these two countries' economies are growing while many of the traditional western powers their economies are decreasing many people say that

a partnership between india and china could actually be detrimental to a country like the united states the united states actually worth eight point four billion dollars of arms to india every year and india is actually the number one importer in the entire world many people say the united states is interested in india to counterbalance china's growing influence in this region and to have a strategic ally here when the united states plans to withdraw its troops from afghanistan twenty four team so while other countries might have an interest in what kind of relationship india and china has all signs are pointing to stronger military and economic ties between the two countries the growing a financial clout of asian countries of the global implications that coud term is also the focus of peter lavelle's debate with his guests cross talk coming up next

hour. on the eve of the meeting will be considered you can only cooperation regional to what degree is the global economy in the east and so are we living in the pacific. century if we are but does it really mean. they drag spike in deadly insider attacks by afghan troops and police on foreign port personnel has led to the us suspending the training of some local forces this year alone forty five american and nato soldiers were killed by their afghan counterparts it statistic blamed on slack background checks fears are that washington's decision could do rail the handover of security but robert not men from just foreign policy told r.t. that's just the tip of the iceberg. what's really striking about this is that nato officials are admitting that they've known for years that there are only varying

procedures were not being followed. and this is contributed to these killing it's a spectacular mission. and the big question of why didn't make these changes before finally the problem grew to such a spectacular stage that they could no longer ignore what i think the attach of groom because first of all they've been as they now admit any people to these forces without vetting and secondly because there are just a greater proximity and third because there is greater stress both stress on the afghan soldiers and police stress on the u.s. forces which helps them behave in ways that broke the afghan soldiers and police them to deeper question is you know what can we learn from this about u.s. policy and the credibility of the generals who are always told to defer to the

generals the generals ever control until there are some spectacular episode that shows that they don't have a situation if they draw on what should we conclude from about western in particular u.s. policy i think that is really where the focus should be and you know what are we going to do to change that policy which is so clearly spectacularly failed. all right at six minutes past the hour you're watching our team live from moscow still ahead for you we look at why despite relentless violence in syria some people in the country still believe that working the land is the best way to preserve peace. and business russia is gearing up to welcome the business elite from across the globe the apec summit in the east of the country but parents take full advantage of its position on the mob as a bridge between get that exclusive and city also going to have a breakdown of the global axiom all kids of the happenings going on that about ten

minutes time. the beginning of september holds a somber significance for one of russia's southern regions north the setting is in its third day of mourning commemorating those who also their lives during the best long school siege in two thousand and four terrorists took over eight thousand people hostage in a local school in the most of the victims were saved after military forces stormed the building three hundred and thirty four people most of them children died in a tragedy watch artie's documentary town of little angels later on today. their conduced childhood was overshadowed by this tragedy. these two feel the fear they faced. and remember every second of the slightness. it will remain in their memories and harsh forever. anything so.

country's capital the demonstrators took place after and thora days bandaids said and organized by a local opposition party now this is the latest in eighteen months of protests against the monarchy some experts predicting that activists will only settle for regime change. people of bahrain a resolute they cannot be any longer of a two hundred twenty nine you. monarchy and the monarchy has become increasingly just fly like a club after they are corrupt and the people demand the mark receive their turn over a single gramley run in the entire country with general court with no justice that all men with disparity amounts to population regard no no no no to divert attention away from those opposition is trying to say this is all inspired externally from iran so they're trying to discern the opposition of the internal

because we set out by iranian security that is somehow prompting these people to dislike the regime but from a resident of bahrain i can assure you that both share in sunni in bahrain as well as those who are unarmed and not the monarchy and want to go. the new international envoy to syria has described his peace mr mission in the country as nearly impossible laughter brahimi said in order to settle the crisis both the government and the rebel should end the violence they were conflict has already forced hundreds of thousands of refugees to seek shelter broad while some people are still clinging to their homeland struggling to keep their livelihoods going and as oksana boyko reports they believe that working the land could preserve what little peace remains. reaping the harvest of economic isolation and a good one farmers across syria are is busy as ever collecting to foods of their

labor decades of economic sanctions haven't taught syria to rely on no one but itself at least when it comes to their cultural production and there are no sour grapes about it now while the political pressure on syria is mounting. this country is still fully able to feed its people. almost everything that adds up on syrian tables is grown here in the country south from the clashes and this year spared the usual drought these fields are probably be government's best had against all sorts of foreign pressure aiming to undermine its support base. syria has experienced sanctions since the 1980's and it is told the country to be self-sufficient now i go culture is well structured and we have all the seeds fertilizers of water if they haven't been damaged by the sanctions or by the ongoing clashes i can say that agriculture still remains among the sectors least affected by the clashes well this

place still looks like a sanctuary of peace the actual war is heard here all too well seventy three year old son says he understands the young who want their country to change what he contacts that is their means to him what do the people who are misled hold weapons fight the government and destabilize the country are wrong i hope they'll calm down we all need peace to return to syria syria play it. polarized in so many levels the syrian conflict has also drawn a line between villagers and city dwellers as violence continues in urban areas people in the countryside are working hard to feed the two warring parties attacking villagers out in rural areas isn't going to really help them in accomplishing their task which is to try to get assad out of out of power and so i think and that's certainly not going to get the syrian people on their side so i think that the attacks are being concentrated in urban areas where they have the

greatest chance to affect syria economically and potentially to strike at military targets in the aleppo clashes are still the order of the day but twenty kilometers west mohammad is trying to preserve one of his family's to be colonies the other new homes is. to have been destroyed they couldn't access it for more than six months. then they don't want to come in from politics it's too dangerous they're like you see they seem to be using weapons was the biggest mistake of the. syrian beekeepers are absolutely convinced that they as superior to all foreign species that belittle to withstand hardship and the blood thinning of their pastures and as clashes in the north continue taking a bad toll on the industry many here hold that there is the aliens of syrian peace will also be transferred today kippers it's not artsy syria there are plenty more stories on our website r.t.

violence. it's become almost as widespread in t.v. and popular culture as language. it's all right. creative for an adult audience graphic and explicit content is often watched by children something russian legislators have decided to try to. people usually associate themselves with fictional characters they see on t.v. and if adults can understand and analyze that for children the characters both positive and negative are models which they absorb and take with. the new law forces t.v. radio and online media to market the programs they're showing by for each cannabinoids ranging from sixty to eighty moreover programs depicting things like sex violence drugs and so on can now only be shown after eleven pm and you began

there's just one problem. that there is a paragraph in this which is supposed to explain which content of this that will lie still and doesn't like for example information of culture. but stipulation is written so loosely and nobody understands exactly what's cultural and what sort of information is of such value just. the law doesn't give a list of films which are of special value potentially even the classics and soviet cinema had a nation had banned for children like one fema series of sort of where the wolf sometimes smokes tobacco. it's absurd the soviet cartoons were used to me. and they're interesting children in a positive way and smoking is merely a quibble it's up to media outlets to do sign for themselves which programs can be shown when and what age waiting to give them but an official commission will be

tasked with any breaches of the. the penalties for only one to six thousand u.s. dollars even the possibility of this is. for three months many people agree an initiative of this going to was necessary over there are those the current law is workable so it's good actually confuse the viewers. or others believe it is possible to police the media it's much more difficult to police the children often find a way to watch whatever you want in any way you want as good of the moscow all right time now for a look at some other world news in brief for you this hour two people have been killed and at least nine hundred injured after a car leaving the u.s. consulate in pakistan was rammed by an explosive laden vehicle u.s. embassy officials say no american citizens were killed in the suicide attack several foreign organizations including the u.n. have their offices in the area where the blast occurred no one has yet claimed

gunfire. and smoke clouds in the sky as an epic battle of the past is played out on the fields of but i do know in russia thousands of participants in historic uniform recreated the moment russian soldiers fought the invasion of napoleon exactly two centuries ago barn has more from the front line. battle is raging here at the field of bora deano to the west of moscow the french and the russians have squared up a cannons are blasting the infantry squaring up and the cavalry is preparing to charge and the reenactment of the climactic battle of napoleon's invasion of russia two hundred years before cousens of people have turned out to see this reenactment and has a come both for russia and all the way from france and germany to take part really all of this on the scale of a hollywood film all the people here getting just a part of the experience of what it was like to be present at that great historical

moment polian marched into russia in one thousand told with what was there a largest army ever assembled he intended to make imperial russia sue for peace and so become the master of europe but it was here at this point to the west of moscow that the russians decided to stand and fight the result being an enormous long and brutal swore getting much of a battle the french guns pounded the russian lines all day rather like this but the russians failed to break they stood their ground the next day they were forced to retire from the field having lost so many men but polian took bosco but he was unable to keep it within two years not only have the polian failed to make imperial russia super peace it was the russian army that was marching into paris. maritime for business now with katie and a very busy week for russian businesses it is absolutely karen all this was

a quiet month people were going away relaxing but now it's back to business others polenta on the agenda for the russian market is all about the apec summit coming up this week looking towards up for the european stock so we've got a purpose there are of we see is going on in the usa today. it is have a look at the stars you can see them there they all moving higher and it is the mining firms that are really leading the gains in this session of bio brushing off data showing that here is a manufacturing set to shrink more than an issue they estimated that was best of all focusing on the e.c.b. the president did all the more he's going to be doing this week because if we remember back in july he says they're going to keep hold of the euro name much so what can't greece and as well so be interesting to see what happens this week in those meetings now talk of the devil let's see how the common currency is before me just how the trade is a favorite pet you can see is jumping ever so slightly but it's above the one

twenty five threshold us of the russian ruble though is still managing to lose out to the last day of current says it has been much movement for the cars here today as for the equity markets then they are still in positive territory and again a extending those gains as you can see just and all prices as they are makes the hair washed up oil output in august house hit the post soviet wreck or private and state company is extracted a combined ten million barrels a day in august and others said production is rising and that's because the industry sinks to take could fall of strong global oil prices before pigs henschel heads from the impacts of a possible great withdrawal from the euro zone's they're thinking ahead that i mentioned apec russia's unique bridges position on the map between europe and asia could lend a helping hand there ahead of the summit we caught up with one of russia's biggest industrial holding say the great believes there's a great potential in the region. that they're doing with the. locals

sharing a break russia demonstrated that it is capable of using its will through our initiatives the regional integration transportation food security and innovation great force and will be going out of business council members so russia will only be able to really capitalize going to. role of a geographical region between. if it improves its own interest charge and regulation it's at the moment took less than one percent of all trades only between those two parts of the world sport in i russian territory it's literally no. projects we're offering to develop will enable russia to increase not only of the transit through its territorial but up to five percent. how will your company culture be out in the development of business in the region when. we started to large scale asia oriented projects in the far east and build in coal and grain. we think that after last year's tsunami in japan demand for russian coal rises it will

be just as selling g substituting for nuclear power stations going out of service in the past with a grain terminal well russia has enough grain to increase its exports which would be five million tons. however in russia's far east existing infrastructure allowed to export seventy thousand tons last year and we will be able to export over one hundred tons more. what are the main problems that russia has to solve in the order to be able to capitalize on its unique location in the region. to make russia more attractive for international cargo flows that's what we need to solve the problem of insufficient railway access to tools that keep. trucks for days before it gets on board a ship customs regulations are another issue it takes almost two weeks for a container to get customs clearance the same amount of time as it takes to

transport it starts to that once we improve services and customs procedures and of course as a tentative cargo such as a chance i'd be ready way and the north sea routes will become attractive for international businesses. so when buying a property it's all about location as we know it is even about location as far as culture is the concern that's right katie holmes thank you for that update we look forward to next. all right i'll be back with a recap of our top stories in just a couple minutes.
