it is on a visit to new delhi along aiming rather to boost the influence of the two asian 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 troops from afghanistan twenty fourteen 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 china india alliance is key to countering america's tightening grasp on south asia as well as to keep the region afloat while major western economies are declining so says politics historian and

researcher self in the u.s. poet. the country will interest will take a. knock will definitely be the united states if it wants to be the one vicious. in its efforts to and circle china that's what president obama's policy right now seems to be because he has said some time ago that. the united states wants to focus its policy on china which means contentment of china so any improvement in relations between china and india would not be welcomed in washington however for the beating itself it's good news that the economies of china and india will increasingly depend on each other and therefore i think that the rest of the brics countries. which is

a need in munting economic bloc. i think it is good news that china and india can improve their lives with their friends increased trade and at a time when when the economies of the west are suffering. the growing financial clout of asian countries on the global implications that it could have is also the focus of peter the bell's debate with his guests and cross talk it's showing here in about twenty five minutes but now a quick preview. on the eve of the asia pacific economic cooperation regional to what degree is the global economy now centered in the east and so are we living in the pacific century and if we are what is it really me. and other fly in the ojt meant for russian british relations london 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 game of ski it russian lawyer who died in custody more on that from marty's polly boycott. 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 say that he died because of repeated beatings and being

refused medical care and now the investigation into the case in russia is still ongoing but it's had a big resonance place at home and abroad earlier the u.s. said that it had also banned around sixty russian officials from traveling to the u.s. speaking often magnitsky is death the van president dmitry 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 more severe says the law 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 those coping with catastrophe. international sanctions cut syria off from the outside world depriving thousands of basic necessities of those who work in the

country's agricultural sector only for an end to war. cambodia is reportedly working to extradite one of the founders of the file sharing website pirate bay to sweden got freed wark was arrested by local police following a request form from sweden where he was sentenced to a year in jail for copyright offenses he'd been living in cambodia for two years more perspective now on his arrest with emilia under assault or an m.p. e.p. for the swedish pirate party. miller thanks for joining us today now after an international manhunt and arrest somebody who says it's now preparing to send a golfer to walk to sweden despite there being no extradition treaty between the two tell us is he really that dangerous. and i would very much doubt it well then why is sweden so desperate to lay his hands on him. there was really

really big international pressure on the time to. try out to make us give our of our mission months to these three essentially young men that are burning it or a tractor to get there in their time. this pressure is diminished and there's major industrial nations in the world we think are still flying quite hard it's going on. other countries to slow. down intellectual insistence the arrest also came on the same day as a visit to cambodia by the u.s. trade representative and obama spokesman on trade issues do you think that could have been of some significance. again. to try and or catia little asian ship between these two. events i don't think that their innocence. but it is an amusing coincidence of course but why now i mean it's very interesting of

golf or it has been living in cambodia for years how come now what do you make of the timing. so. i don't want to speculate on the specific timing of iraq's. police question just felt it was time i see what your party made major gains at the time of the pirate bay trial do you think that their case brought attention to your calls. definitely. they have been very defining for the right to be in speech and the way that they needed. to question their relationship knowledge sharing and how they. need to how he felt they needed to communicate with each other this is was very very important for the public conscience consciousness of a copyright issues in sweden you're going to tell also in other countries that didn't have it of iraq or the country where are they now belgium where the

communications infrastructure is all bad i read in a possible or top look. at the level of debate people have of the level of self reflection people have about that communication is actually not worth saving they can safely have been. can safely be said to have created like you know i'm just not in an entire generation a million start interrupt you know you were a figurehead of the pan european position to act and now that that treaty is gone it's said the e.u. law makers are trying to resurrect it or a version similar to it how concerned are you about that. so i'm not very concerned about that actually the commission was very quick in saying that they were not going to introduce academic measures and other trade agreements that said those not met there isn't much to be concerned about the current regulatory framework the european union is going to be investigated in the international trade agreements to

. their trading partners and this is of concern because we actually need to realize the european regulatory framework also it doesn't worry much about it but i'm going to talk like i mean we have a parliament which is stronger now and it's possible that the parliament might be able to stand up for public interest to the scene and very briefly we are running out of time now at the end of the day piracy is rampant on the internet unfortunately methods of fighting infringement athlon start all over people's rights is there some sort of a compromise do you think. that i don't think that it's a relevant compromise to discuss we need to define kind of the terms of our own interaction communication break. this is its own. doesn't necessarily benefit the most from being trained in a previously versus copyright. dogma i don't think. under star m.e.p. for the swedish pirate party thank you. still ahead for you later this hour an

international clash over catch. the u.k. is accused of safeguarding the assets of the egyptian regime with the property of some key figures in hosni mubarak's inner circle staying untouched despite international sanctions. plus the children's cartoon classics that may now only be suitable for adults a new age rating system for t.v. programs in russia draws up animated anger. the new international peace envoy to syria has described his job as quote near impossible locked are 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've 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 and as oksana 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 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 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's south far from the clashes and this year

spared the usual drought these fields are probably be 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 told the country to be self-sufficient now i recalled her is well structured we have all the seeds fertilizers of water they haven't been damaged by the sanctions or by the ongoing clashes i could 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 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 in so many levels the syrian conflict

has also drawn the 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 power and so i think that's certainly not going to get the syrian people. on your 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 lap or clashes there's 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 thought to have been destroyed they couldn't access it for more than six months. they don't want to come into politics it's too dangerous now all they can

see is a three week using weapons was the biggest mistake the. syrian beekeepers are absolutely convinced that they are superior to all foreign speace is it ability to withstand hardship and the blood of their pastures and its clashes in the north continued taking their toll on the industry many here hold that there is the only answer of syrian peace will also be transferred today kippers r.c. syria. media reports have surfaced suggesting that the u.k. has failed to freeze some of the assets of top officials in the regime of former egyptian leader hosni mubarak the move targeting mubarak and his inner circle was introduced in february last year after the leader stood down amid mass rallies joining us live now for more professor of international relations marc all meant. mark thanks for taking the time to speak to r.t. today now london says it doesn't have the legal grounds to fulfill congress'

request to freeze these assets how legitimate of a reason do you think that is. well lawyers can find almost any of the different reasons by the documents which are overlooking the ins and the bigger problem is that seems to you all know who lives in the assets robotically who know obviously as to how or. who it's all since really for political reasons it's a reward not true for those who do what's written on. it's own shrine for those who don't do it even when perhaps grounds voted as assets for something in order to make some of our friends and why do you think that is you think there could be some political pretext behind britain's refusal to cooperate on this issue. are two aspects as a specific aspect so it's difficult crisis in for instance egypt very in other countries where it's used as a political tool but also remember that it's all has a very serious economic crisis and really the two areas of its economy that's what we've held off as the bright lights of the thanking sector and its property sector

the last two decades and now both of those are in a severe crisis so cutting all the income of dubious forms of dirty money as it's called goes into the banks and into the pockets sector particularly in the high end property in london and the south eastern would be a huge blow to a fairly weak economy if that is already so the government here has both its international role playing politics in the middle east for instance protect themselves and others but also one of the best of all it's all very weak at the moment because all the crises affect the banks miss so they have all sorts of things british investors british forces but also. the general overall economic crisis it can't really afford to crack down on these photos of money even though they are intentionally very destabilizing through just from a city of the city of london as a banking center and also perhaps even more they want to see people be in some

rumors are protected have to have close friends in the government some of the arab shakes and deciples who are for. and soon be able to handle us markets and interrupt you now tell us what do you think could be going on with the assets the u.k. fail to freeze do you think that could have been shifted elsewhere well that's of course part of the problem that one of our exposed was a place where you bring your money in or buy a nice house and other properties but also money coming out of london is de facto clean or can be cleaner from a city of london as a solid as the dark green of and so on and so that's the big problem of the whole from just the place where money comes to as you could say some people were not ordinary people who saw it actually accidently as a conduit whose money to go somewhere else was likely to disappear forever when the point of view of the people of the countries who actually worked to earn it and who lost any chance of getting it now britain applied sanctions against officials a month after the fall of hosni mubarak while switzerland for example froze the our assets within just a half an hour why is it that it took them so long. i suspect but there were

serious negotiations as to who should use sanctions to apply to particularly if i may say so who. didn't remember a lot of these are steps or doing business in britain. and so we want to support her and that they were getting their bills paid by the very small our associates and so i think the longest and and so far this is all carter was sleaze factor but most politics in terms elites have suffered a lot of sleaze you see behind him this is yet another sluice gates. to damage the founding of our elites an established all right professor of international relations here on our team our common thank you for your time. a drive to make russian t.v. more child friendly is under fire a new law aims to clean up the country's are only problem timeslot from scenes of an adult nature but critics say the legislation. even khartoum might end up being

hit by the ban artie's you've got this kind of reports. of violence. it's become almost as widespread in t.v. and popular culture as bad language. it's alright. created for an adult audience graphic and explicit content is often watched by children something which russian legislators try to talk 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 way for each category ranging from six to eighteen moreover programmes depicting things like sex violence and drugs and so on can now only be shown after eleven pm and euphoria there's just

one problem. that 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 and historic value but stipulation is written so 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 of old and soviet cinema and animation could have banned for children like one theme a series of teens where the wolf sometimes smokes tobacco. it's absurd. cartoons were used to me and those who meet you mean 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 well and what age waiting to give them but inefficient commission will be

tasked with any breaches of the grain like the penalties include a fine of up to six thousand. 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 confuse both the viewers and the media while others believe if it is possible to police the media it's much more difficult to prove it's the children who often find a way to watch whatever they want anyway you want to get off the moscow. that's all get the latest market action now from our business task. the russian markets are now closed and europe is in its last minutes of session how has the day although there has been quite a pause of care and that's despite the fact that with there have some nuggets of data and i'll get to that in a second but first i want to talk about russia in the world trade organization its membership i should say and basically we did hear about a lot of fears about what this with the local companies spot we caught up with the

head of the second largest airline there in the country that's b.m.i. we spoke to was under a course then and he explained why this would be great for financial companies here in the country it's like a lesson. from national crisis in america or europe let the situation when we have actually the weakening of the international competition and russia as you see the russian banks started to be more active in other parts of the world in europe in asia so i think that's a good time for us and banks to expand and that's what we should be doing now. now let's take a look at the markets will start with europe which right now is literally in that slice minute of the trade in session we see that it's still going higher mining firms that particularly well in the trading session today announced this five five as we got data that showed that magnitude one factor inside the trunk more than expected for the month of august in the rules are but as we can see there by the

numbers it had no effect on investors in the few months ago about currencies closing figures for the group or there was a girl which is now gaining against the u.s. dollar when it comes to the ruble a mixed picture as you can see there at the end of the trading session now let's take a look at the russian markets there were employees the territory and they and that they're both the r.t.s. and the my cigs gained over one percent despite the volatility in the oil prices and now if we focus on the asia pacific corp summit which is being held in russia's far east this is what investors are focusing on russia of course is now acting like a bridge between europe and asia and it could help many global companies prosper in the region and ahead of the summit artsy caught up with one of the biggest holdings in the country that sima group and the company explained why it believes that the region has so much potential. 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 but transported via russian territory it's literally nothing the projects we are offering to develop will enable russia to increase the volume of transit through its territory by up to five percent. for a moment that's left for the gov markets to close of course are bringing the exact figures next hour for the opportunistic current thanks for that update. and i'll be back with a recap of our top stories in just a few. question
