2:04 pm
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

2:06 pm
so any improvement in relations between china and india would not be welcome in washington however for that the timid summer it's good news that the economies of china and india will increasingly depend on each other and therefore good that the rest of the brics countries. which is a need reminding economic bloc. i think it is good news that china and india can improve their lives and increased trade and at a time when when the economies of the west are suffering. but during the financial clout of asian countries and the global implications that it could have there's also the focus of peter viles debate with his guests in cross talk and showing next hour is a quick preview. on the eve of the meeting of the 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 if we are which is really me. media reports have suggested that the u.k. has failed to freeze some of the assets of top officials there is gyptian leader hosni mubarak the move targeting the ex-president and his inner circle was introduced in february last year after he stood down amid mass rallies investigative journalist tony goslings there's a britain is more concerned about its business ties and its diplomatic once the speed in which the assets we see both colonel gadhafi in libya and of course of one hundred million or so of president assad in syria this money was seized by the british government in milli seconds with mubarak's money and his friends money it's eighteen months down the line and there's still letters going backwards and forwards between the british an egyptian government asking questions we can't seize
2:08 pm
the money not only that they have allowed companies to be set up by people who are supposed to be on the egyptian sanctions list those companies have been allowed to continue trading companies have been shut down with no questions asked so i think the sort of hidden message in british foreign policy towards egypt is that we don't actually really recognize this new regime we are actually wedded to some of our business contacts in the previous old mubarak regime and those business contacts i'm afraid between between britain and egypt and the military industrial complex over here but likes to sell arms to egypt seem much more important but actually honoring their diplomatic commitments. now there's a whole lot more still lined up for you in the program including a look at those coping with catastrophe in a national thank you syria all from the outside world to depriving thousands of basic necessities of those who work in the countries that we call to sector which only for an end to all. cambodia is reportedly working to extradite

independence of back home canada dominates ahead of tuesday's election as separatist as at the pace with around a third of the population supporting the chords. thirteenth of billions are reportedly dead after he was german and tag gone wrong in yemen the end manned aircraft was apparently targeting the call of an alleged al qaeda militant but had two other vehicles near the city of radar washington has stepped up its drone operations in the country in recent months but civilian casualties are rarely mentioned in official reports right and web journalist ryan dawson says u.s. drone strikes are actually aimed at creating more instability not less sometimes the military industrial complex spends money just for the sake of it it's not always to win sometimes it's a process of killing what you create and i don't really agree that this is really
2:14 pm
a conflict between islamic militants versus the government gaming was just unified in one nine hundred ninety eight a civil war in one thousand nine hundred for south yemen and how this assessing movement since two thousand and seven and it wasn't about religion or ethnicities it was about resources the jar the oils in that side of the country all the majority the prophets have been allocated to the north these are monetary issues it has become more of a religious issue because of the press and because of the u.s. policies of killing civilians drives people in that direction there don't even have to see the idea ideologically they just have a common enemy. the new international peace envoy to syria has described his job as near impossible lotter brahimi went to say that not enough has been done to stop the violence both on the side of the government and the rebels meanwhile another car bomb explosions rattled a christian neighborhood in damascus today killing four people including a child and as a syrian death toll rises
2:15 pm
a surge of the streams of refugees fleeing syria to join the hundreds of thousands who've already left sanctions to make ordinary life difficult in syria with canada alone ramping up its measures against a masters at ten times this year and as a boy 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 defrauds of their labor decades of economic sanctions have a target 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 spared the usual drought these fields are probably
2:16 pm
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 told the country to be self-sufficient now agriculture is well structured we have all the seeds fertilizers water they haven't been damaged by the sanctions or by the ongoing clashes i could say that agriculture still remains among the structures least affected by the clashes well this place still looks like a sanctuary of peace the war is heard here all too well seventy three year old jim . says he understands the young who want their country to change what he contacts up 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
2:17 pm
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 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 the military targets in the lap or 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. they don't want to come into politics it's too dangerous now all they can see is a think using weapons was the biggest mistake of them. syrian beekeepers are
2:18 pm
absolutely convinced that a superior to all foreign spaces and that ability to withstand hardship and the blood of their pastures and its clashes in the north continue taking that toll on the industry many here hope that there is the only answer of syrian peace will also be transferred to the clippers artsy syria. don't forget to log on to our website for this story and mall at our common here's what you can find there right now. the right to shoot over the right. discovered the unusual items banned by the us police out of the democratic national convention. and the supersonic jet pilot apparently almost continues a highway in russia with an eight strip lorien why dover the heads of the drive us that's on our website.
2:19 pm
a separatist movement is bringing up a storm in canada with a pro independence party looking to win the election in the french speaking province of quebec the party has consistently led to in the polls a capitalizing on disenchantment with the stablish mint and the anger at austerity more the bodies rise now with michael for eon a report of all canada c j a radio joining us live. thank you very much for joining us here on our team as to for you is the strong support for party could be qua because of its policies and believes in a breakaway all is it born out of protest against the other parties and the existing government so i think what it really comes down to is that backers will be choosing the lesser of three evils and for many people especially people the
2:20 pm
younger popular population they feel that that was a move in the step forward maybe towards more of a progressive message in the province i think to try to make it more understandable for your viewers to try to understand where the into the three major parties sit on the political scale but they're all to the left of the democratic party just to put it in perspective for you that is even far right for canadians in a sense but i think it's more in the sense that people will be choosing the votes you get a call because they are dissatisfied with the policies of the. liberal party headed by premier josher and that hasn't been in power for years now when it would have been heading into its fourth mandate if it were if he would have won. in this election which we will find its morrow and they'd find that the politics of mr go of the ca q. which is a new up started party it's true even far to the center for some key backer we will decide we will decide to more in terms of who will be leading to back in the future but that the particular quite election pledges are also interesting mall social
2:21 pm
spending more education spending all financed by taxes on the ridge something but as well as the nations go out of their way to avoid what are your thoughts do you have a solid platform. well while i have. yet to i think it's more in the sense that i feel that you know a lot of the paul party politics you seem between the three parties they have very very many of the same policies in the sense they're spending from the liberal party in terms of you know you saw the tuition protests going on a few months ago and they're even still going on now but you saw more money going into bursaries you some more money being heading in to finance a four for students and i think that you know a lot of the policies are left leaning they are more of a progressive message i think a lot of people in the united states would even say they're more and what i mean if somebody was a tea party or in a sense they would say these are socialist tendencies or socialist policies but i think what it comes down to it people are just making a choice based upon dissatisfaction with that with all of the three major parties
2:22 pm
and when it comes to i mean austerity measures well yeah there are. but i mean i think that's been across the board for most canadian provinces in the sense now the party also said it will call a referendum on independence from canada but only when he feels that the very do will pass then that the law is to fail yet how possible is it that this could happen this time well who's the leader of the why she came out and said you know if she could call a referendum the day after the election she would that being said possibly the likelihood of that happening in this case even though she it looks like she will win government of the likelihood of her calling a referendum is very low because she wouldn't have the support of her back in terms of you know the support of separatists across the province it's at the lowest level it's ever been twenty eight percent of people are analysts are saying that the reason this is this is happening is because the threat of a government is actually coming about it looks more and more possible we're not
2:23 pm
debating whether or not it's going to be the liberals or it's going to be the party get back or the c.q. we know it's going to be the policy of the decision is whether or not it's going to be a minority government or a majority government which by the mail was been hoping for a. last few days so i think even the analysts and even regular folk are saying that the possibility of a referendum is very low on the agenda for the e.q. at this moment now looking at separate sentiments around the world so we've seen belgium scotland and spain also towards that way how does the rest of canada taking this show to separate his party leading the polls in combat can be going down to well with the people. i think across the board of people really just don't care anymore i mean canadians used to care we used to care you know if it was somebody you know a bird or an terrier we had family out there friends and they'd say to us you know are you guys really going to be voting to leave and i think even in the in the past few months we saw polls it was a poll done asking you know do you care of the leaves and half of canadians said no
2:24 pm
we don't care so you know i think when it comes down to it i mean people are just sick and tired nationwide of of you know come back touting that they want to separate and. using this type of you know conversation piece of an election that is you know throw a message out there of sort of separatism i think people are sick and tired of it i think it's only appealing to about a third of the backers and i think that's even pushy in terms of the level of people who find separatism appealing in that sense so i think canadians are just tired of it overall michael for a report a full c.j. a radio in montreal thank you. time for some business news now marino what do you have. a well basically we know that americans are celebrating labor day so wall street is not trading right now but we will have a review of the major enter national stock markets starting with europe and there we saw the horses and then the higher the footsie and the fact that over half a percent and investors there were shaken off data that show the manufacturing
2:25 pm
slump in the euro zone so that's as well when you're bothered by that instead they are focusing on the e.c.b. what will happen on thursday when mario draw. we'll speak and everyone of course is always looking forward to what he has to say he did pledge to keep the euro intact so we'll see what happens now moving on to currencies the euro is again against the dollar when it comes to the ruble it was a mixed picture in the last few minutes of the trading session after take a look at the russian markets we see that optimism from you have trickled down to the country as well both the r.t.s. and the my stocks added over want percent and that's the little bit of volatility in the oil prices that we saw earlier on in the day and investors here are also focusing on the asian pacific corp summit which will take place in russia's far east not a little bit more and that russia is seen like a bridge is in a bit of a bridge like position between europe and asia and some analysts say that this was a help global companies to prosper in the region an artsy caught up with one of the
2:26 pm
biggest industrial holdings in the country that seem a group which believes and explain the potential in the region and where it comes from. 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 geographical 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 transported via 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. russia's membership in the world trade organization spurred many fears about local companies and their ability to survive after that well we spoke to andre of course in the
2:27 pm
head of the second largest bank in the country that's going to be and he said that lenders in the country actually see it as a good opportunity to prosper. in financial crisis in america europe let us situation when we have actually the weakening of the international competition in the us and as you see the russian banks started to be more active in other parts of the world in europe in the us so i think that's a good time for us and banks to expand and therefore to me to be doing. that of course the main focus of this week will be the apec summit and we'll have lots of interviews live coverage from there coming up in the days ahead but for now about see it's happy well we look forward to that thanks for that update marina. right now with our top stories in just a couple of minutes you're watching our team stay with us.
