1:01 am
it is not am the russian capital you're watching us here with me marina joshie boosting trade and driving economic recovery asia pacific nations making up half of the world's population and economy have converged on russia's far east to break all barriers between them before flying out to host the former president who wouldn't talk to exclusively to r.t. on the bias of matters at home and abroad goes go is a lot of a stock. reviving the world economy is one of the main issues which are being covered at this event which is being held in the city of lights of us stuck on the campus of russia's far eastern state university the ongoing crisis in the eurozone that is actually on the minds and hearts of a lot of people who are here we see hear people talking about it just in the
1:02 am
corridors and between the sessions there is also of course the issue of pushing for freer trade is what a lot of the participants of this forum are focusing on and of course russia as a host is also looking to draw something out of this event for example we know that head of the summit the organizers said that they are hoping that as a result of this summit russia will be able to. trade with. countries and with the united states to compose about fifty percent off its trade overall and of course among those among those major players whom russia especially focusing on china now head of the apec summit russian president putin has given an exclusive interview to see where he did touch upon the subject of russia's and china's cooperation which is becoming increasingly deeper and more mutually agreeable as time progresses china is indeed becoming a global economic and political hub china has taken up this new leading role i know
1:03 am
to me in russia but also in the always of the whole world makes this rather special however is that russia and china are neighbors social relations took thousands of years to evolve to where they are. over the coming years we are bound to achieve a one hundred million dollar turnover rate now of course they're going to put in is going to meet with the chinese president hu jintao just later today in fact both men are sort of the focal focal group off the summit least for today but of course afghanistan is remaining one of the most volatile hot spots on the map if you look at the global and if you look at it in a global sense of course with still have taliban and. all effect unfortunately in the country one of the primary concerns for russia is of course the drug trafficking and the drug production in the country unfortunately a lot of the heroin which is being made and produced in afghanistan is being transferred into russia a lot of russian health officials and health and security officials have constantly pressed on the issue saying that something needs to be done but again russia can no
1:04 am
go it alone they have to have partners in that area and the president put it in his interview expressed a sort of a disillusionment with some of those who really should be helping out russia the u.s. and its allies went into afghanistan and now that thinking about how they can get out of the no you sure the situation will be stable for decades to come which you're so far no one can be confident about it no one percent of that country's g.d.p. comes from drug trafficking if you want to replace this nine percent you have to pay no one wants to look at if you go after drugs people will go after you that's all there is to it everyone those the drug revenues opponent a used to finance terrorism but even this awareness and the realisation that europe is being flooded with afghan produced drugs is not enough to encourage our partners to seriously tackle this issue and this is very sad increasingly apec is becoming not just about the economy and finances but also about about politics and of course
1:05 am
the united states and russia are key players at the summit as well and the u.s. delegation is headed by secretary of state hillary clinton who is standing in for president obama who couldn't attend this summit who sent his apologies but he had to participate in the democratic convention which is taking part which is taking place in the u.s. at the moment now of course russia and the u.s. have a lot of issues to discuss with the upcoming elections of course bush leaving nobody an interested it's arguable to say we do know that for example mitt romney has voiced his concern with russia calling it the united states number one geopolitical enemy and now his point of view is not you would rather is not shared by president obama who doesn't say that russia is a key. partner for the united states and fortunately a similar peaceful view off their relations between the two countries is also shared by russian president my feeling is that he is a sincere man and that he sincerely wants to implement positive change but can he do it will they let him do it. i mean there is also the military lobby and the
1:06 am
department of state which is quite conservative it cute as for mr romney's position we understand that this is to a certain extent motivated by election campaign rhetoric but i also think that he was always the wrong because such behavior in the international arena is the same as using nationalism and segregation as a tools of us domestic policy now again and that is part of an exclusive interview which there are some president gave to r.t. which you can watch on our t.v. is a you tube channel and as a person is also going to be making a keynote address later on during the day at the apec summit you can watch that live on our t.v. when it happens here in english the reporting there from lot of us stop business consultant daniel waggoner says a partnership between russia and china can counterbalance the influence of the u.s. . i expect that the two presidents are going to be discussing how they can develop closer economic and political relations this is not a new theme for them this has been going on for decades both with positive and
1:07 am
maybe not so positive results over the course of time but i do think that russia and china are very well positioned to develop their bilateral relationship at this particular time given that the u.s. is having some difficulties both with russia and with china on different issues if we look at the bilateral relationship going on now between the u.s. and china it seems that territorial ambitions on the part of china or the u.s. depending on which perspective you're looking at are causing a lot of conflict on the other hand where russia is concerned there are a variety of issues that are causing conflict between the two countries i think the net result there is that the u.s. may lose out both of these of the russia and china in terms of its ability to further develop its relations while all these other conflicts are going on between them. asian and pacific leaders meeting in a lot of us talk are pushing for freer trade following events for us. yes
1:08 am
free trade is one of the topics marina and how the russian economy intends to fit in with the rest of the world while trade organization accession is complete. analysis of the business but it said to me that. the u.s. is reportedly ramping up its presence on syria's turkish border sending teams of advisors to support and to ask the fighters it's also thought their aim is to monitor the possible al qaeda infiltration of rebel ranks washington has resisted calls to engage militarily so far saying it only provides non-lethal aid meanwhile reports suggest france is considering flying heavier tillery to the syrian rebel forces paris is also stepping up support for the country's political opposition offering to help them forge a provisional government author william and dol says recognizing the syrian rebels would be a mistake. their long term agenda is introducing
1:09 am
a. taliban like fanatical. islamic sharia law in syria and ending the tolerance of different religions which has been the trademark of syrian life for decades under under the old assad family. in general and there are reports of journalists inside syria over the last months of the so-called opposition in many cases they're all qaeda or mujahideen that have been brought in from saudi arabia and elsewhere and provided guns and weapons. that they have beheaded civilians and blame the atrocities on the assad government so this is a really. i don't know what you could call the equivalent of the obvious recognition of a government in exile really a new government in exile perhaps if the russian government were to recognize the ku klux klan as a government in exile in america and provided heavy artillery so that they could go
1:10 am
the goodness washington or something like that it's just absurd that the british prime minister has reiterated his call for president asad to step down to make way for a new government formed by the syrian opposition as the u.k. continues to provide and direct help for the rebels there are now fears ordinary break ins are heading for the syrian frontline artie's laura smith explains. to most britons going about their everyday lives the war in syria seems worlds away but for a few it's a struggle they feel personally involved in as the u.k. government put trey's president assad as an evil dictator there's evidence that britons are going to syria to fight for the opposition bumming him area m.p. khaled mahmoud says some in his community have already gone there is a particular individual who's actually now gone back to baghdad at the moment and is going back in a few weeks time who's been engaged in fundraising supporting people and putting
1:11 am
people together to go back to your people who say they just came for the maid work and other are blatantly and ride saying that they're going to support the resistance some says mahmoud of british syrian extraction others a british muslims who feel their faith makes this their struggle but whatever their reasons for going the fear is what they'll be when they return they're trained in the art of warfare but they also radicalized as well and then they want to then continues on credit causation they want to bring more people on board and then perhaps the looks to try to. resolve some of the gripes they have here that's blowback the u.k. has already seen from another conflict here in london on the seventh of july two thousand and five the official reports into the seven seventh's bombings reveals the existence of that two house of the four bombers had been to afghanistan the

so-called violent jihad back in the u.k. mohammed sidique khan and she's at a town with together killed fourteen people in combined suicide attacks the seven seven bombers were only vaguely known to the authorities and that could be the case for fighters returning from syria too it's all very well to notify the u.k. borders agency but in reality there's very little. well they can do people that may leave here to fight in syria will not go directly to syria they may stop in turkey or lebanon or arc so the government will not be able to really know the. nation there's no real way of telling whether they're actually going to end up in syria there is no way to know. who when they enter syria who they'll be liaising with. ideologies necessarily how ideologies and viewpoints might change in syria these are the scenes that could greet them on their return and he islamist organization the english defense league is unlikely to take further radicalization

of british muslims lying down creating more bad feeling and deeper fissures in an already divided society pull western whose british freedom party is allied to the e.t.l. says militant groups are preparing for a confrontation we're going to get further and further into this horrible situation of them and us and them unless and then you have small scale violence that starts. the tit for tat and it's work. and i think we literally entering into religious civil war scenario so far the government's given the syrian opposition eight million dollars for non-lethal equipment including communications but ordinary britons could find themselves paying the far higher price of unrest and insecurity at home for they support for the syrian opposition laura smith r.t. london. and coming up in just a few minutes battle for the white house is underway brought the bomber has

officially accepted the nomination from the democratic party and has the liberty speech of the party's national convention. an outside threat paving the way for unlawful action and we'll look at the conflict between israelis and palestinians overshadowed by illegal settlements. the european central bank has finally brought out the big guns it's an announced it will be buying bonds from struggling eurozone nations to lower their boring costs however the banks president stressed governments still need to keep performing and cutting their deficit this is not sitting well with the region's population with new plan athens even saw judges and police walk out in protest protestors set up mob gallows to symbolize how their creditors are strangling the nation a policeman a coast guard and firefighters stude with their hands and then news while in madrid
1:15 am
hundreds gathered outside the headquarters to protest what they see as germany's interference in spain's financial affairs french economists jock's appear believes the e.c.b. as plan to buy up government bonds will achieve nothing. the european central bank will buy. on the. lease so private corporate bonds it's. not increasing global liquidity on the market as a result effect of this. all to the shelf life i don't expect this kind of anti christ plan to work more then. he didn't address this crisis of the eurozone crisis is not to try something that it's a complicated to prizes and it's as you dick. these of groups the collapse of
1:16 am
growth we have you know a lot of eurozone countries and this fall into the e.c.b. is not addressing the real crisis and the problem is the fact that the eurozone is even received so far and we see the these now stating that the recession who'll go on short the next two yeah this is not good news and the e.c.b. is not the addressing this problem while barack obama has officially accepted the nomination as presidential candidate for the democratic party during his convention speech he attacked his rival mitt romney for describing russia now canada as america's number one anime kevin zeese director of com home america and shared his views on the u.s. elections with. mitt romney i think is a great example of what's wrong with america that he's obviously a plutocrat he's hiding his taxes for the american people is was you know the truth about his clients is he sending money was sure he created he became wealthy by
1:17 am
destroying us businesses and create our jobs overseas and he's exactly what's wrong with this country on the economic side it's a he's a one percenter and he's the one percenter deep in his heart so he's really what's wrong with president obama the same time you know he supported by wall street he supported by the health insurance industry puts in place policies that support the corporate agenda so neither of these candidates really represent the people there resent the big business moneyed interests and not the people we have a fully two party electoral system the country faces very severe problems with the economy with money being funneled to the top the four hundred wealthiest americans have the same wealth as the bottom half of the whole country one hundred sixty million americans and we see a foreign policy based on empire either romney or obama will confront these issues and that you want your anus question about breaking up the big banks you want to rein discussions about amending ending the u.s.
1:18 am
empire cutting the military budget these issues another table and so we're stuck in a system of. political wobbly that is just status quo and the man who elect wall street in the military industrial complex wins analysts take a look at some other stories from around the world. fifty eight people have flown after a turkish fishing vessel carrying migrants hit rocks and sank off the western coast of turkey the boat was carrying around one hundred people mostly from iraq and syria two suspects have been arrested on smuggling charges turkey has long been a passing point through which immigrants from asia and africa try to make their way to europe. now the fans officials have given nato troops a pamphlet on handling cultural differences between afghans and their u.s. partners this measure was in reaction to a recent spate of insider attacks by afghan soldiers and policemen on foreign troops forty five soldiers have been killed in such attacks since january some

fifteen percent of this year's total coalition fatalities. israel u.s. relations are on rocky ground according to a recent interview with a u.s. congressman he claims that prime minister benjamin netanyahu lost his temper at a meeting with the u.s. ambassador last month saying he was at with sand over iran israel has persistently called upon the u.s. to commit to a preemptive strike on iran over concerns surrounding to iran's program. the jewish state continues to expand settlements in the palestinian territories further deepening the and past between the two communities and in an unexpected twist iran's condemnation of israel is playing into the hands of those who support the occupation of palestinian land or just falsely are now reports. the the call to prayer religious jews walk past a mosque in judaism's second holiest city the scene speaks volumes about the gap between two peoples living cheek by jowl forty five years ago the part of hebron
1:20 am
the largest city in the west bank was returned to jewish control since then around six hundred jewish families have lived in the small enclave outnumbered vastly by palestinians they vow they will never be driven out despite the fact that jewish settlement in hebron is widely considered illegal under international law and so they justify their presence in part by looking for an enemy the fact that. there is a distinct target to get the jews out of her own is not a and and in and of itself it's a means to an end that being that they don't want to use in her own they don't want to is in jerusalem but even more than that they don't want to sing tel aviv or haifa or anywhere else and lately instead of pointing fingers of palestinians the secular movement has begun championing the claims of iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad he strikes fear and uncertainty in the hearts of most israelis is their
1:21 am
rhetoric their lot of all of them in the future this is not exist and that they don't. remember saying it or where and over again but the hostile talk from tehran is having unintended consequences the settler movement is mocking ahmadinejad's comments inadvertently putting him in the camp when israel's most widely circulated daily newspaper recently listed the safest cities to live in a time of emergency most israelis didn't notice that listed among the so-called cities of refuge or civil settlement alongside residential centers within israel proper. is doing for the settlers what they've been struggling to do alone and that is give them legitimacy by terrifying ordinary israelis so they forget to distinguish between israel proper and the settlements but a growing chorus of anti settlement protesters is calling on the government to cool down and stop buying into the politics of fear it's obvious that our government is
1:22 am
talking about iran as a diversion diversion from the no peace with the palestinians with the with what's going on with the settlements with the amount of money that there's threading on the settlements nonetheless the settler movement is moving full steam ahead behind me is palestinian have run permission to drive through this boom comes from the israeli army that sits here just outside palestinian have run inside. jewish have run this is the perfect example of how israeli settlements and palestinian villages and cities exist on top of each other and for as long as the settlers can play on israeli fear and convince israelis that muslims want to kill them wherever they are they'll continue building new settlements and ordinary israelis will remain focused on the freight outside their borders rather than look at what is happening in their own backyard policia r.t. hebron. time now to see what's happening at the apec summit in russia's far issue
