a lot of reporting talks breaking down barriers between asia pacific nations as he addresses the apac summit in russia's far east forums host president putin spoke exclusively to our t.v. about global concerns. international aid for the syrian rebels the u.s. is reportedly sending teams to advise opposition fighters while france could be considering sending them have your tillery. and easy offerings leave the public this illusion that you are pm central bank is finally set to help but angry crowds in greece and spain walk out against unrelenting cuts.

in the russian capital be watching r.t.l. marina joshie driving recovery amid the global economic downturn ending anomic protectionism and ensuring interview security for its partners in russia's far east president vladimir putin outlined the issues at the gathering of asia pacific nations which make up half of the world's population and economy we now talk to our correspondent. is and lot of us stop me now what are president ford and economic plans. well basically you started by praising the role of apac as both an organization which accounts for no less than fifty percent of the world's trade g.d.p. and of course investment but also as a organization as

a forum which provides the grounds to discuss ideas on how to shape global economic growth its regional integration which is in the driving economic growth forward and of course the fact that apec is such an important organization demands a common responsibility for all the actions that they are taking in order to avoid basically european scenarios now a huge role of course of devoted to limiting protectionism within this region now let him approach and admitted that protectionism is of course a justified for every nation that every nation has the right to support its national industries especially at a time of crises but even though russia also does the same thing russia has a new member of the world trade organization will be working very hard to elaborate transparent laws to limit protectionism anything during the hardest of times and also russia has a specific role within a pack of course it needs to use its

a vast resources like oil and gas in order to provide energy security within the region and also its territories including that so accustomed to dealing with the sun and by the roots to build a bridge basically between asia and europe but also. kind of back to all of his thoughts about the importance of this shift towards asia for russia in an exclusive interview that he gave to several days ago of course you can you can catch that on our you tube channel. casting that interview throughout the day here on our team as well let's not talk about the issues that president putin addressed in that interview. well one of the main issues of course the importance of trade with china which has become one of the most important partners for russia with trade expected to exceed one hundred billion dollars through out the end of this

year let's listen to what the g.o.p. has actually had to say during that exclusive interview with r.t. china is indeed becoming a global economic and political hub china has taken up this new leading role i know tony in russia but also in the eyes of the whole world what makes this rather special however is that russia and china are neighbors and our special 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. and of course it's not only china in that region which is playing an increasing role russia has also announced that it is in negotiations with new zealand and vietnam to create a free trade zone and also have a presence that tens of other nations have filed applications to have these kind of negotiations with. the. ok we'll do it through the u.s.

delegations also attending the apac some of the presidential campaign as in full swing there so how can we expect relations between moscow and washington to evolve after america's presidential election in the van. well indeed the presidential race is right now in the spotlight for pretty much every nation i have to say and let you know putin has said during that exclusive interview the first after the inauguration he has said that he will is ready to work with any candidate no matter if the mitt romney wins or barack obama gets reelected but the fact is that he sees them all as equal partners despite the fact that mitt romney has said early on that so he sees russia as america's geopolitical enemy number one let's listen on his take about these two candidates. if you put on my feeling is that he is a sin see a 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 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 on just the wrong because such behavior in the international arena is the same as using nationalism and segregation as the tools of u.s. domestic policy. well it's almost dusk here in the vladivostok where the apec summit is being held so be sure to catch all further updates for out the coming days. and he will be entering thanks very much for bringing us the very latest may have an anchor reporting from a stock and now here in r t you can talk to france's one who is managing director of investment group one c.n.n. holdings thanks very much for being here with us on the program well president putin spoke about the possibility of establishing a free trade zone in the asia pacific in your opinion how realistic in this.

china russia every is quite realistic. russia has resources which china was so so the best thing to do is have. resources can go from russia to china duty and also manufacture like consumer goods scale flow from china to russia freely and of course. this will be mutually beneficial as compared with the american initiative t p p which really cater to america's interests if each between china and russia would be real benefit both and is that way to go. and speaking of resource i think you just mentioned put it also said russia is ready to provide energy security so how important do you think is that for its partners. it's very

important actually russia has already been a pipeline all the way to deal was. natural gas really will be taken up by japan mainly but all those china also needs the natural gas because right now china has a lot love natural gas from the middle east if you can into the. i think. a big part of china's energy needs and of course. this is actually what china has been negotiating with russia for quite some time i think as you said we were over a decade. and this this way russia can also diversify is a source of customer will not be tied to lose one customer like along with russia sell to not only china and also korea pieces the euro zone challenges today

well of why we put in who jintao promised to address global issues russia and china are against a foreign intervention in syria so we are now seeing more and more western support for the rebels can moscow and beijing do you think pretty nansen intervention. i really did because in libya despite. china's objects the u.s. in western europe succeeded in doing regime change. in syria. russia and china's of gentian i think. you said that western european countries really have succeeded to a certain extent to stabilize the stabilize the scene so i think right now the situation favors. the u.s.

and their allies i don't think russia and china came prevent a regime change right now. my friends is a managing director of invest managing group and team holdings thanks very much indeed for your views here on our team. now am pacific leaders meeting of honest dog are pushing for freer trade as we just heard let's now take a look at how the business desk is really reacting to that katie over to you. yes the topic of free trade is certainly domain they say at the apec summit for so and also as well that we've just been hammering the relationship between on the east as well as europe continues to tackle the sovereign debt crisis to join me in the business but that said i'll have plenty of details. to other stories now here in r t the u.s. is reportedly ramping up its presence on syria's turkish border are sending teams of advisors to assist and to ask the fighters it's also thought

a mist to monitor the possible. rebel ranks washington has resisted the call is to engage militarily so far saying it only provides an only for aid meanwhile reports suggest he is considering she's going haveour tillery to the syrian rebel forces paris is also stepping up support for the country's political opposition offering to help forge a provisional government author william randolph recognizing the syrian rebels will be a mistake. their long term agenda is introducing a. taliban like fanatical. islamic sharia law in into 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 their al-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 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 to washington or something like that it's just absurd. how the british prime minister has reiterated calls for president assad to step down to make way for a new government formed by the syrian opposition and as the u.k. continues to provide aid for the rebels there are now fears ordinary britons 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 portrays president assad as an evil dictator there's evidence that britons are going to syria to fight for the opposition bumming an area m.p. khalid mahmood says some in his community have already gone there is particular individual who's actually 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 people together to go back to their people who say they're just going to support the made work and other. rides saying that they're going to support the resistance some says mahmoud of british syrian extraction others of 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 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 their 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 revealed the existence of rumors that two out of the four bombers had been to afghanistan for so-called violent jihad back in the u.k. mohammed sidique khan and says that town with together killed fourteen people in combined suicide attack specific and 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. their ideology is necessarily how the ologies 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 full 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 and us 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 the support for the syrian opposition laura smith r.t. london. coming up in just a few minutes here in our see battle for the white house is under way barack obama has officially accepted the nomination from the democratic party and has delivered his speech at the party's national convention. with benefits' find out why iran is being used as an excuse for israeli settlers to occupy ballasting inland. european central bank has finally brought out the big guns it's announced it will be buying bonds from struggling eurozone nations to lower their

borrowing costs however the banks president stressed governments still need to keep reforming and cutting their deficits this is not sitting well with the region's population was new cutbacks planned athens even saw the judges and police walk out in protest protesters set up mock gallows to symbolize how their creditors are strangling the nation a policeman coast guard and firefighters through with their hands in a news while in madrid hundreds gathered outside that use headquarters to protest what they see it during these hearings in spain's financial affairs french economist job sapir believes that you see these plan to buy up government bonds which nothing. the u.s. and central bank will buy. on the. same time we resell private corporate bonds it's called zeeshan not to increase global liquidity and get more. as

a result effect of this strategy all to be sure why i don't expect this kind of anti christ plan to work more then she. didn't address the main crisis of the eurozone crisis is knowledge a crisis of this it's a complicated to prizes and by the way it's as a decrease of groups it collapse of growth we have you know a lot of eurozone countries and. on zs farms is not at tracing through a real crisis and the problem is the fact that the eurozone is in a recession so far and only see the easy now stay things that recession cool go on for the next two yeah this is not good news you know and the e.c.b. is not that good i think this problem. now rock 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. as america's number

one anime kenzie's director of come home america share his views on the u.s. elections with our team when romney i think is a great example of what's wrong with america that he's obviously he's highly his taxes for the american people as was know the truth about his violence is he sending money or sure he created he became wealthy by destroying u.s. businesses and create 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's supported by wall street he supported by the health insurance industry he 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's interests we have the only two 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. a foreign policy based on empire either romney or obama will confront these issues and that you will you know even discussion about breaking up the big banks you want here any discussion about amending ending u.s. empire or cutting the military budget. now if we go get some other stories from around the world a powerful earthquake has hit southwest china killing twenty three people and destroying some twenty thousand homes show talking a major city in the you know province so buildings shake when the five point six quake struck you known as the neighbor of the sichuan province which was devastated by the earthquake of two thousand and eight claiming almost ninety thousand lives. the fans officials have given nato troops a pamphlet on handling cultural differences between our guests and their us 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. yes a very relations are on rocky ground according to a recent interview with a u.s. congressman he claims that prime minister abandoned that and now lost his temper at a meeting with the u.s. ambassador last month saying he was at wits and over iran israel has persistently called upon the u.s. to commit to a preemptive strike on iran over concerns surrounding tehran's program. the jewish state continues to expand settlements in the palestinian territories further deepening passed between the two communities and in unexpected twist iran's condemnation of israel is playing into the hands of those who support the occupation of palestinian land or to suppose the 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 a part of hebron 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 in 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 rhetoric their lot of all of them in the future this is not exist and that they don't tell us remain they say it or and over again but the hostile talk from tehran is having unintended consequences the said to 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 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 reading 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 free to outside their borders rather than look at what is happening in their

own backyard policy r.t. hebron. course will be a very in the spotlight for us here today time to join katie and see words happening in the world of business yeah the asia pacific economic cooperation summit aids is not all about politicians very now we've got business going on as well top executives from around the world have gathered in russia's far east and apart from investment into the asia pacific region itself a lot of discussions are going on devoted very to the e.u. use debt crisis now business l.t. caught up with the metals market that i passed about what could save the year. isn't it true wiser. among. us to have completely. real balance of trade to real. the competitiveness of europe. lol you are already said that.

on the level you want to protect the dollar. breeds an opportunity to see true solution for the crisis let's check out the european markets now we'll be able to see the rally house loves a little bit of steam in the last kind of maybe thirty minutes also in other european markets they were enjoying the rally and that was because european central bank president mario jargon presented his much anticipated film purchasing plan which is aimed at tackling the escalating boring cost of all the indebted countries in the region but as i say we optimise his image of a distraction right now if we get on and see markets we check out the exchange rate to be able to see what the euro is doing at the moment and it's still managing to rise all the risk confidence in the single currency once again being restored not everyone is quite convinced but the russian markets all because i can only look at the r.t.s. are one and a half other my success as well also oil is gaining

a once again helping abuse the markets as a so-so good about the euro because there is a lot of optimism surrounding the single currency all right now hala the last of. us for the ruble is managing to lose out against the of osco cries in the session days had a bit of a choppy session really not managed to drag itself out i want to have a look at the closing figures that i'm a bit his will be able to say will started it all off earlier on in the session us because even they take. the two percent now a lot of that was because they were fairly in the momentum in europe which is really helping exposures which are. you have also want to talk about china's government revealing a number of infrastructure plans to give the slow economy a bit of a leg up a bit of a do you say has big mentions of oil prices they have been struggling in the recent hours but as i say this hour while we're looking at a different color hot it we've got gains just helping these momentum for the

markets here in most of that is how the markets look for this hour as i said it's all about apec and we've got the hope is this team what humor so bringing you updates in the some one hour marina all right katie thanks very much indeed as always plenty more to come your way here on our t.v. but i'll bring you the headlines before that.
