hello and welcome to our t. i'm karen tara coming to live from our stude moscow where it is four o'clock well they want to regional rivals india and china now want to bring their armies closer together beijing's top military chief is on a visit to new delhi aiming to boost the influence of the two giants but news of this alliance is already causing concern across the pacific as artie's priya sridhar explains this is a historic trip for india as the chinese defense minister has been 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 exports 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 from troops.

afghanistan twenty four teams so while other countries might have an interest in what kind of relationship india and china has all signs are pointing to a stronger military and economic ties between the two countries the growing financial clout of asian countries on the global implications that it could have is also the focus of peter lavelle's debate with his guests and cross-check at showing next step fifteen thirty g.m.t. here's a quick preview. on the eve of the meeting of the pacific economic cooperation regional to what degree is the global economy now so in the east and so are we living in the pacific century and if we are what does it really mean. another fly in the going to meant for russian british relations loved and has apparently followed in washington's footsteps and approved a blacklist of russian officials prevented from stepping on its soil the

individuals are accused of human rights abuses in connection with the case of sort of. russian lawyer who died in custody more on that from our to use poly boy. russia's ambassador to the u.k. wants an explanation from the u.k. foreign office after it emerged in the sunday times that the u.k. home secretary had sent a list of around sixty russian officials to the british embassy in moscow in order to ban them from traveling to russia now the list contains the names of russian judges prosecutors and intelligence officials who london believes are involved in the death of the russian based lawyer so again magnitsky he worked for the london based company hermitage capital fund and he died in pretrial detention back in two thousand and nine in moscow now that he was jailed for tax evasion and awaiting detention his family is. say that he died because of repeated beatings and being

refused medical care now the investigation into the case in russia is still ongoing but it's had a big resonance both at home and abroad earlier the us said that it had also by and around sixty russian officials from traveling to the u.s. speaking often magnitsky his death then president dmitri medvedev he said that the people who are accused of economic crimes and tax crimes in particular they should not be put into pretrial detention and of course mostly says no as death is a big tragedy but they've called on other nations not to stage a political show regarding the matter and they've promised a tough response to any foreign sanctions that could be put in place over the case a whole lot more still lined up for you on the program including a look at coping with catastrophe. international sanctions cut syria off from the

outside world depriving thousands of basic necessities while those who work in the country's agricultural sector which only point end to war. and the long arm of the copyright industry reaches all the way to cambodia with one of the fugitive founders of the pirate bay file sharing site now facing extradition to sweden. they're known as the blue on green attacks when u.s. trained afghan troops turn their weapons on nato soldiers the incidents have become so frequent that the coalition has decided to halt the training of local forces until the proper screening of recruits is carried out robert nyman from just foreign policy says that nato commanders in afghanistan have brought the problem upon themselves. 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 that this is contributed to these killings 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 him but he 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 and i think the deeper question is you know what can we learn from this about u.s. policy and the credibility of the generals were 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 to be drawn what should we conclude from that about western in particular u.s. policy i think that is really where the focus of what i should be and you know what i'm going to do to change the policy which is so clearly and spectacularly failed. so i have for you later this hour daily anti-monarchy demonstrations. as thousand strong marchers filled the streets with riot police often turning peaceful protests ugly. plus the children's cartoon classics may now be suitable for adults a new age rating system for t.v. programs and russia animated anger. just after assuming his new responsibilities the new international peace envoy to syria has described his job as near impossible like that of brahimi went on to say

that not enough is being done to stop the violence both on the side of the government and the rebels and as the death toll rises so do the streams of refugees fleeing syria to join the hundreds of thousands who have already left the situation has become so dire that jordan and the u.n. have appealed for seven hundred million dollars to help provide care and support sanctions to make ordinary life difficult in syria with canada alone ramping up its measures against damascus ten times this year. on a boyko reports it's now up to syrian farmers to act as a last line of defense against a humanitarian catastrophe. reaping the harvest of economic isolation and a good one farmers across syria are is busy as ever collecting to food to labor decades of economic sanctions haven't taught syria to rely on no one but itself at

least when it comes to agricultural 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 growing here in the country south far from the clashes and this year is spared the usual drought. these fields are probably the government's best had against all sort of foreign pressure aiming to undermine its support base. syria has experienced sanctions since the 1980's and it is taught the country to be self-sufficient now i grew culture is well structured we have all the seeds fertilizers and 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 jimmy noble hassan says he understands the young who want their country to change what he can't accept is their means and what. people who are misled and 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. polarized on 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 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 a military targets in 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 and here homes is thought to have been destroyed they couldn't access it for more than six months. and they don't want to come into politics it's too dangerous now all i can say is they think using weapons was the biggest mistake was the. syrian beekeepers are absolutely convinced that a beast as superior to all foreign species is that ability to withstand hardship and the blight of their pastures and as clashes in the north continue taking their toll on the industry many here hold that there is the only answer of syrian peace will also be transferred today kippers it's not our sea syria. but the main focus on syria that means stream media is not so all seeing eye seems to keep messing what's happening in bahrain another arab state that's been engulfed by protests for

over a year now dozens of anti-government protesters happened clashing with riot police where the country's capital this comes days after thousands of people swapped the main highway leading to my momma demanding reforms and release of political prisoners former lecturer at the university of bahrain collin cavell thinks the country won't see any democratic change as long as its rulers remain shielded from washington. the united states wants to retain attachment to control not only were bahrain but over the entire persian gulf monarchies them into our middle east in order to keep the crude oil flowing however they realize there will be increasing democratic opposition in all these countries that they can no longer rely on the dollar credit dictators to maintain their control and this is particularly true in bahrain where the population three quarters of the population or out on the streets

on a regular basis telling the government to leave so we are no longer in support of monarchy we don't respect you and we don't fear you anymore so what the u.s. is doing with president barack obama is to replace the sort of just but we started with the north african regime in egypt mubarak was removed in egypt. we've been all you go we've had gadhafi go we've got the regime in yemen go and so now if iraq obama is real art and november so this year then we will complete is there a demonic transition these regimes. in beginning of september holds a somber significance for one of russia's southern regions now if the said as morning third day the hundreds of people mostly children who lost their lives in an attack on a school in the town of beslan in two thousand and four terrorists took more than

a thousand people hostage russia's military surrounded the building for three days before storming it while bringing you a special report about that horrific event. there . was told by this tragedy. do you still feel fear. and remember every second of this like. it will remain in their memories and hearts forever. in a. little . here with our team and cambodia is considering whether to extradite one of the

co-founders of the file sharing website pirate bay to sweden alfredo wark was arrested by local police following a request from sweden where he was sentenced to a year in jail for copyright offenses the founder of sweden's pirate party rick fall says the arrest itself raises questions. the jury is still out on the one unfortunately there are conflicting reports on what really led to the rest heard reports about a bar brawl being the run up to it with just the local police interfering. a local disturbance reports the american ambassador being and at the time of his arrest high level talks taking place. this morning as was mentioned reports surfaced the rest was a result of swedish authorities for assistance from cambodia despite the lack

of an extradition agreement the thing is you cannot enforce the copyright monopolies and force of intellectual property we are at a crossroads where all of humanity and the entire library of human culture and all the tools are already developed the cables are in place the technology has been rolled out we have to do is remove the ban on using it but as usual there are vested interests in doing things lists efficiently and be receiving people depriving people of this knowledge that frankly gain economically from it. tavor had to log onto our web site for this story and for many more all at r.t. dot com here's where you can find there right now. the right to shoot over the right to drink discover the unusual items banned by the us police ahead of the

democratic national convention. and this supersonic jets pilot apparently almost confused a highway and russia with an airstrip roaring right over the heads of drivers. drive to make russian t.v. more child friendly as under fire a new law to clean up the country is probably a prime time slot for scenes of an adult nature but critics say the legislation is so ambiguous that even cartoons might end up being hit by the ban. on all of reports. of violence. it's become almost as

widespread in t.v. and popular culture as a bad language. it's all right. created for an audience graphic and openly exclusive content is often watched when children something which russian religious leaders try to put a stop to. people usually associate themselves with fictional characters they see on t.v. and if adults can understand and analyze that's for children the characters both positive and negative are models which they absorb and take with. the newer forces t.v. radio online media to market programs that are showing way for each category ranging from six to. moreover programmes depicting things like sex drugs and so on can now only be shown after eleven pm and. there's just one problem.

there is a paragraph in this which is supposed to explain which content this applies to and we should doesn't like for example information of cultural historic value but. loosely nobody understands exactly what's cultural value and what sort of information is of such value. since the law doesn't give a list of films which are of special value potentially even the classics. could be had banned for children like one famous series of. where the wolf sometimes smokes tobacco. it's absurd cartoons were used to me. they're into treating children in a positive way and smoking is merely a quibble it's up to media outlets to discern for themselves which programs can be shown when and what age rating to give them but an official commission will be tasked with any breaches of the guidelines the penalties include

a fine of up to six thousand dollars and even the possibility of the suspension of the stations broadcasting license for three months many people agree an initiative of this kind was necessary however there are doubts the current law is workable so it's good actually the viewers and others believe if it is possible to police the media it's much more difficult to police the children who often find a way to watch whatever they want anyway. moscow. some other world now ten turkish security officers have been killed after kurdish militants attacked police and military targets in the country's south twenty militants are said to have died in the clash with kurdish answer. agency has stepped up its attacks in turkey in recent months taking advantage of the ongoing civil war in syria. two hundred seventy south african miners previously blamed for the deaths of thirty four of their colleagues are being provisionally

released by the authorities the deaths occurred and the longest clash with the police during a strike over working conditions security forces say they fired at the protesters after the attacked by a machete wielding one of hers final charges will be made after a presidential commission completes an inquiry into the incident. up to four people have been killed and at least nineteen ruled after a car exploded near the u.s. consulate in pakistan the blast occurred in an area of the town of peshawar which several foreign organizations are based including the u.n. no one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack anti-american sentiment runs rife in pakistan spurred by the outrage over civilian deaths a new u.s. drone attacks and a recent reopening of nato supply routes throughout the country. and

a time to get the latest from our business desk where you know there is a lot going on isn't there that's right karen that is right about it does happen of course we always wait for the summits and that's exactly what's about to kick off and we have the international business elite which will be common to russia's far east more about in the second first i want to start with the global markets so let's kick off and take a look at how europe is performing in fact we can see that both the footsie and the banks are heading to higher and the mining forums of them pretty sickening of all of this is this point the fact that we saw a manufacturing slump in the yourselves but this for the month of all does that impact the sectors more than in the shirley i suspect that but as we're going to see analysts on the base buy that wallet that we are seeing that investors are looking forward to what you had the bulls say there is they. or let's move on then take a look at exchange rates and see what's happening there when it comes to the euro it's a plot against the u.s. dollar and the ruble is losing again so both major currencies talking about the ruble is such a look at how the russian markets are performing now despite declines in the oil

price we still see the russian markets are down my if we can take a look at the russian markets you'll see what i'm talking about now is also despite some of the clowns in the oil price we're seeing with diets them particularly well especially in the my success concerned getting almost a war on the per side of the sour now i was talking about the oil flies and. earlier in the day we saw again spot now in five you saw the crime seven surely but now we're seeing a mixed picture a light sweet losing just a notch and the brand blend still going higher now and then just in fact about here in russia oil output i'll continue talking about oil but you can look at me now when it comes to oil hit a post soviet record and in fact private and state companies extracted a combined ten million barrels a day for the month of august and we're seeing that production is rising that as we have companies trying to benefit from the five are quite high for this month now let's move on to as i was saying the business really is getting ready for the

kickoff of the summit every russia's unique bridge line position between europe and asia actually learned a helping hand at the summit and ahead of the actual someone caught up with one of the biggest industrial holdings in russia that's suma group and the person that we spoke to said that there is a great potential in the region let's take a listen. chairing apec russia demonstrated that it is capable of using its soft power our initiatives in regional integration transportation food security and innovation growth have been supported by all other business council members russia will only be able to fully capitalize on its role of a geographic land bridge between europe and asia if it improves its own infrastructure and regulations at the moment less than one percent of all trade volumes between those two parts of the world a chance ported by russian territory it's literally nothing of the projects we are offering to develop will enable russia to increase the volume of transit through

its territory by up to five percent. how will your company culture be out in the development of business in the region. the world we started to large scale asia oriented projects in the far east we have build in coal and grain terminals we think that after last year's tsunami in japan demand for russian coal will rise as it will be just as l.n.g. substituting for nuclear power stations going out of service as for the grain terminal well russia has enough grain to increase its exports from the current twenty five million tons to forty however in russia's far east existing infrastructure and he allowed to export seventy thousand tonnes last year and we will be able to export over one hundred times more. what are the main problems that russia has to fall over in the order to be able to capitalize on its unique like a fill in the rate order. to make russia more attractive for international cargo

flows we need to solve the problem of insufficient railway access to ports that keep cargo idle on the tracks 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 almost the same amount of time as. it takes to transport it from blood. once we improve services and customs procedures brushes and tenets of cargo such as the chance siberian railway on the northern syria it will become attractive for international businesses. and of course we'll have more exclusive interviews for the apec summit as that all kicks off there we have a correspondent sara live updates all that's coming up but for now back to daryn in the car and thanks for that update. and i'll be back with a recap of our top stories in just a couple minutes. good
