it is a just after two pm here in moscow this is with me rule recession it's good to have you with us dr recovery and the global economic downturn economic protectionism and ensuring energy security for its partners in russia's far east president vladimir putin outlined the issues at the gathering of asia pacific nations which ultimately make up half of the world's population economy reporting. thank you. he 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 organisation as a forum which provides the grounds to discuss ideas on how to shape global economic

growth its regional integration with you and me driving economic growth forward and of course the fact that apec is such an important organisation 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 and also russia has a specific role within a pack of course it needs to use its vast resources including oil and gas in order to provide energy security within the region and also its vast territories including that of its customs union with kazakhstan and belarus to build a bridge basically between asia and europe but also that in a. kind of back 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 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's taking up this new leading role i know tony in russia's eyes but also in the eyes of the whole world nor 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 is 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 of a person said that tens of other nations have filed applications to have these kind

of negotiations with russia the us presidential race is in the spotlight everybody is talking about it here and what about putin has said that he is ready to work with either candidate mitt romney who gets elected or barack obama gets reelected even though mitt romney indeed has said that russia is america's geo political enemy number one well that is also said that barack obama is a person he sees which is ready to do a lot for mutual cooperation between russia and the united states but that depends on how much he is allowed 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 that there is also the military lobby and the department of state which is quite conservative in cuba 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 already asleep or wrong because such behavior in the international arena is the same as using nationalism and segregation as a tools of us domestic policy and you can catch the full version of this exclusive interview that i gave to see on our youtube channel what he said to me to represent the reporting right there from a lot of os talk in the meantime though political analyst joseph chang says russia and china can counterbalance the power and influence of the united states. russia and china up wolf you may say emerging major how and they have the common objectives of building the multipole know it well and painting the influence of the united states as the sole superpower china certainly sees is partnership with russia as well as is participation in the prick's rule as

a very important in. math and ism as a very important stab to promo is own economic rolph through and sure enough. role materials and opening up new markets and of course. china and russia believe that these share many common interest concerning many international issues and downfall their joining hands and at tamms to secure food to support from the food whoa are seen as important and significant snaps to promo. influence to geta in international affairs. now asia pacific leaders meeting in blood of all stock pushing for free trade katie is following the events for us aren't you must. say free trade is

one of the main themes that you stay at the apec summit and really the relationship between these as we've just been hearing about the european sovereign debt crisis continues to rumble on analysis on that. join me in the business but it's a pretty. all right so while the u.s. is reportedly ramping up its presence on syria's turkish border sending teams of advisors to assist the fighters it's also thought their aim is to monitor the possible al qaeda infiltration of rebel ranks and washington has resisted calls during gauge militarily so far saying it only provides non lethal aid i mean while reports suggest france is considering supplying heavy artillery to the syrian rebel forces paris is also stepping up support for the country's political opposition offering to help them forge a new government author william engdahl says recognizing the syrian rebels would be a big 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 all assad family. in general and there are reports of journalists inside syria over the last months of these so-called opposition in many cases there are 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 on the assad government so this is really. i don't know what you could call the equivalent of the obvious recognition of the government in exile or building 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

against washington or something like that it's just absurd. well the british prime minister has a reiterated coals for president assad to step down to ultimately 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 faces that ordinary britons are heading for the syrian frontline explanation out wattis laura smith. 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 get people who say that he's going to support and aid work and other are. saying that they're going to support the resistance some says mahmud 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 also radicalized as well and then they want to then continues on radicalization 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 tongue 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 iraq so the government will not be able to really know the ultimate destination 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 what 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 full western who's 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 and then it's the tit for tat and that's why. you know i think we're literally entering into a 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. live from the heart of moscow still to come for you in just a few minutes

nation one policeman a coast guard official and a firefighter they all stood with their heads in a noose i mean time in madrid one hundred gathered outside the e.u. headquarters to protest what they see as germany's interference in spain's financial affairs french economist believes that the plan to buy up government bonds will simply achieve. the european central bank will buy ten bonds. three years in the same time we resell private corporate bonds it's called civilization not to increase global liquidity on the market as a result effect of this strategy ought to be short lived i don't expect this kind of anti christ plan to work more than three to four months he didn't address the main crisis of the eurozone crisis is not a crisis of the debt it's

a competition to krises and by the way it's as a decrease of growth the collapse of growth we have in a lot of eurozone kountry and formed the e.c.b. is not addressing the real crisis and the problem is the fact that the eurozone is in recession so far and we see the is now stating that rescission cool go on for the next year this is not good news you know and the e.c.b. is not that dressing this problem thanks for joining us here in our to today a park 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 not how as america's number one enemy kevin zeese the director of come home america i shared his views on the us elections with us here at on same. mitt romney i think is a great example of what's wrong with american politics he's obviously

a blue kratz he's hiding his taxes for the american people is was no the truth about his plans is he sending money offshore he created he became wealthy by destroying u.s. businesses and create moving 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 the one percenter deep in his heart so he's really what's wrong with president obama the same time you know he supports my wants you 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's business we have a phony 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 won't hear any discussion about breaking up the big banks you want here in discussion about amending ending u.s. empire cutting the military budget. starting with china let's crank up the r.t. world update now its. workers hit killing forty three people are destroying some twenty thousand homes. a major city in the union. when the five point six quake struck the neighbor of the province which was devastated by the earthquake of two thousand and eight that claimed almost one thousand lives. fifteen people have drowned after a turkish fishing vessel carrying migrants hit rocks and sank off the western coast of turkey and the boat was carrying around one hundred people mostly from iraq and syria two suspects have been arrested on smuggling charges so he has long been a passing point through which immigrants from asia and africa try to make their way

to europe. and afghan officials have given nato troops on handling cultural differences between local security forces and their u.s. partners by this measure was in reaction to a recent spate of insider attacks by afghan recruits 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. u.s. israeli relations are once again on rocky ground according to a recent interview with a u.s. congressman he claims that the prime minister benjamin netanyahu lost his temper at a meeting with the u.s. ambassador last month saying he was quote. over iran israel has persistently called upon the u.s. to commit to a preemptive strike on iran over concerns surrounding tehran's nuclear program. just a moment on katie with the business for now the jewish state continues to expand

settlements in the palestinian territories are further deepening of the impasse between the two communities and in unexpected twist iran's condemnation of israel is playing right into the hands of those who support the occupation of palestinian land party's policy as the story. was 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 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 have wrong 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 use in 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 stalks fear and uncertainty in the hearts of most israelis if their rhetoric their lot of faith means but all of them in the future not exist and that they don't. remain the same or and over again but the hostile talk from tehran is having unintended consequences the setting 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 any 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 the what's going on with the settlements with the amount of money that they're spreading 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. 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 cities can play on israeli fear and convince israelis that muslims want to kill them wherever they are they'll continue building their settlements and ordinary israelis will remain focused on the freight outside their borders rather than look at what is happening in their own backyard. r.t. hebron. you know and the business good to see you lots of global politicking going on in russia's far east of course of the apec summit but you here in moscow has zero in on the business side of it all launching. an attack on all the activity where we go and the certainly poland see of it right now we've got top executives from around the globe overcalls gathered in russia's far east now apart from investment into the asia pacific region and a lot of discussions have been devoted to the e.u.'s debt crisis as well there's certainly no escaping it now business r.t.

caught up with metals magnate all of that of about what could save the euro. is a need to revise. terms of how. this euro to have completely. out of the real balance of trade to real. the competitiveness of european race and you're already said that. on the level you want to project a dollar i think. it's great opportunity to stick to solution for the greatest. right now let's check out the european markets were on the top and we were witnessing a rally earlier on is still going on but it's also a little bit of steam in the last few hours this side of the european central bank president mario draghi he did present his much anticipated. plan as expected and

really is aimed at tackling the escalating boring cost of the lights in spain and italy as well as in the markets were really appreciative of that now as we check out the euro as well will be able to see that it is indeed continuing northbound and that's really as confidence in the single currency is once again restored and that's really well what everyone is convinced not everyone is convinced we've just been hearing that if he's a better message he certainly knows. it's an ongoing process as we can see the ruble as well as losing out to the basket of currencies into say the friday afternoon equities here in moscow and see that they're waiting taking their cue from the international markets as you can see they too are benefiting from a rally this afternoon it's well worth having a look at the asian markets because they said it all off earlier on and i certainly finished up the week on a high they too were appreciative of the news coming from the e.c.b.

as well as that we had the chinese government as well really a number of infrastructure plans to give the slowing economy a bit of a leg up as well and as far as the mainland chinese stocks are concerned and hong kong as well it was the best performance in seven months i just put into perspective for you as we look at the oil prices as well will be able to see that they're actually now going north from us but have a shaky start we had investigators are speculating prices may have risen too far before of course for coffee so that job's growth slowed in the u.s. last month the world's biggest consumers are really the investors are awaiting at the norm from payrolls now we've got the hope is that even one of the apec summit be all about that next hour while we were bringing the latest update in less than an hour now sounds fantastic thank you. just a moment on the headlines here and then it's going to be off discussing of the future of iran israeli relations as benyamin netanyahu keeps fueling concerns over his role that trigger finger that'll be right after the headlines.
