it is not am in moscow you're watching r t leaders of nations that make up half the world's population are getting down to business for the apac summit in russia's far east aimed at spurring global growth asia pacific economies gathered and lot of us stock are seen as the best bet for fueling recovery with traditional powerhouses like the u.s. and europe flagging are designing a logo is there for us let's cross lied to her and get the very latest. well that asia pacific region is the focus of so much hope for economic revival so what kind of ideas are being bounced around at the summit to drive their growth. but seems like the major idea at least on this day is a chinese delegation headed by the chinese leader who is in tower who did open

today's session it looks like china is hoping to become sort of the world's savior in old terms that when it comes to the two the economy. did say that in this in this rather trying time for the world economy china. is that locomotive which will pull. the world. which will pull the world out of the financial abis of course russia and china are becoming increasingly close allies there they are right next to each other we are neighbors so of course russia and china russia has a lot to offer and china really is interested with russia to offer and of course this is now becoming a corporation not just an economical sense but also in political as well as head of the facts on the russian president bush and gave an exclusive interview to our in which he underlined the importance of these ties between russia and china basically expressing the hope and the need for two countries to work together on the like

russia and china seem to be strong partners but how does that close alliance between russia and china sit with the rest of the major players in the region. of course the recent developments in political sphere often leave of the united states for example rather worried it looks like every time they see that china is gaining gaining ahead they become a little bit frustrated and this probably also leaves them somewhat hesitant you know to to welcome any sign in. the improvement of a relationship even further improvement in relations between russia and china however the u.s. delegation is here and they set out to work with brighton earlier this morning in fact it started off with the a meeting between russian foreign minister. of the united states secretary of state hillary clinton who didn't talk at length it looks like various issues which concern of both countries for example they talked about syria naturally spoke about the russian foreign minister said that russia has expressed we have again dissatisfaction with the fact that syria gets continuously implemented with what.

he talked about the pointlessness of such sanctions and how they have centrally damaged russia's interests in the region and of course are also very productive and damaging to the. people in countries such as syria or libya or libya for example what we do have to understand that relationship between between moscow and washington d.c. is actually rather amicable right now we do know for example that the. republican contender for the presidential post mitt romney has expressed his opinion that is russia and that is that russia is united states and geopolitical enemy number one well president obama doesn't seem to share that if you point saying that it is sort of a leftover from the cold war era type of thinking and the president put in. his interviews that say he's willing to work with whichever candidate wins the upcoming presidential elections in the united states but he did pay some compliments to

president obama. my feeling is that he is a sin see a man and that he sincerely wants to implement the positive change but can he do it will they let him do it to pick i mean that there is also the military lobby and the department of state which is quite conservative 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 old when you see your role because such behavior in the international arena is the same as using nationalism and segregation as the tools of u.s. domestic policy. because of course watch the full version of this interview on artie's you tube channel now i will be bringing you more from the apec summit obviously more things are happening on the sidelines of the summit which is becoming increasingly not just an economical vestal but a political as well india and thanks very much for your english reporting from the apec summit in stock. financial consultant.

he says relations between russia and china are designed to counterbalance u.s. influence. the toys between putin and hu jintao been extremely strong and this has frankly been at the expense of relations with the u.s. and not overtly obviously but when it comes to issues like syria and iran there is a great deal of court nation between the two sides on those political issues then you know these things spill over into the economic side as well of course you know we're starting to talk about how both countries handle the oil embargo that the u.s. has been sort of pushing on iran you know russia as a producer and china as a consumer they both you know the fact that they're harmonizing this really sort of helps to. counteract u.s. u.s. influence and the ability to which the u.s.

can exert its influence on its european allies in asia and japan specifically so we're seeing a lot of that and we have more our live updates and analysis from the apec summit in russia's far east and join us for that throughout the day. to europe now are dead crippled greece's brace for more protest against a new round of severe spending cuts the country's e.u. creditors are demanding down eleven point five billion euros to the packages adopted to secure vinyl rescue loans and this time it's not just the capital where people are furious with the plant's thousands are expected to take part in an anti-government rally in greece's second largest city this weekend oliver reports. greece's economic problems are well documented but they don't show signs of going anywhere anytime soon saloniki the country second city is pretty likely when it

comes to the economic hardships compared to the likes of athens but even here the telltale signs of economic downturn a clear to see closed shops boarded up businesses all around the town now antonius maurice the greek prime minister is coming here to open the trade fair on saturday but if he thinks he's in for a warm reception he might have another think coming every year old in every election the good. of the promise things is the same lies to us in order to grow and to be in the government and after one hundred two days they forget everything everything and they go to europe and they do whatever the european countries like they do not do what ever the good people like the greek word for crisis also means judgement and there are plenty of people that haven't ruled out the possibility of an economic armageddon taking place in the country

that's why thousands are expected to gather here and thessaloniki is main square on saturday evening to demonstrate against the government's handling of the financial crisis. now the european financial crisis has inspired countries which used to be associated with stability in belgium as companies look for ways to cut costs local see their jobs in jeopardy due to a huge inflow of workers from four states and. explains the situation with employment there in the short term is only likely to get worse. while we're here at a construction site where all the workers as well as the owners of the construction company are from belgium is saying then plumped for workers from other countries and more often than not these workers left the belgian counterparts in the emberg for example a province in flanders which has a significant construction sector thirty eight percent of all companies have lost bids to foreign firms ninety percent of them expect to lose bits in the future and

this is prompted fears that in the coming months one in five companies will have to lay people off setting prices that are too low it's what we can call. to work but if that work is going to other companies then we will lose a lot of jobs in the. local firms say they are also losing out when it comes to speed of delivery our building sectors have. to do good for strict. rules but if you look at the foreign companies people work ten twelve thirteen fourteen hours a day six to seven of course for delivery speed of your project is a huge advantage and more belgian clients are opting to try their services base people are much more flexible so that's that's why we tried it and it was it was a success europe's debt crisis has dealt a massive blow to

a sector that employs up to sixteen million e.u. citizens and with no clear signs of the tough times letting up tension is brewing especially when local firms feel they're getting the short end of the stick. their own turf kisser cilia r.t. . and later this hour in the kaiser report financial gurus max and stacey take a look at this week's other victims of the e.u. debt crisis here's a bit of what's ahead. in italy all this bank faces uncertain future moment to the past did not survive berlusconi's bunga bunga parties it seems the country the bank is on the verge of bankruptcy it's the third biggest bank in italy and now it has all these government bonds which is trying to sell but of course the yield keeps going up and up meaning their bonds are going down and down so they are caught in a spiral nobody knows for sure there is some sort of bailout agreement reached with the italian government but nobody knows what it actually means the government debt

became toxic and there are where this you know remember any other jones at the scene where he replaces the bag of jewels with a bag of sand. but it doesn't quite do it and the big boulder follows him down through the tunnel this is the this bank now in italy they realize that there was a swap they now hold government bonds that are junk and they're trying to run away down the tunnel. twin blasts have rocked the syrian capital damascus leaving at least six people dead the first blast was reportedly caused by a booby trapped motorcycle which exploded near a mosque on friday afternoon worshippers were leaving prayers the second explosion went off between the justice and information ministries leaving no casualties meanwhile calls are getting louder and the u.s. congress for helping to arm the syrian rebels and intervening in the country with some senators pushing for greater american involvement in the conflict but the

president of the arab lawyers association sabah one of the car says the west is preventing the syrian people from changing dire situation. i think the western powers have gone where you beyond what was acceptable even an. the questionable matter of trying to interfere in internal affairs of countries under the pretext of human rights protection of civilians civilians protection of civilians is a duty it doesn't still allow the intervention internally but here we have a situation which is ten times worse whereby in fact the western powers are stopping the civilian population from actually coming to terms with the government in order to change the government in order to effect the the must stick change at the end of the day the western powers want to change the existing regimes because that regime is the only one that is left that is not pro west we've seen

what happened and libya we've seen what happened in iraq iraq is no country which is and if you're patient not just by the usa but by iran as well and fundamentalism is being spread. everywhere but now they and the west is trying now even to work with the islamist movement in order to thwart any of the their work i think movements in these countries and i think syria definitely the people in syria are looking for democracy and looking for change but at the present moment the west has moved from that go into really fighting a civil war against the regime and the regime has a responsibility to protect the country to protect even of its own interests. well stay with us here in r t a later on in the program we get a flavor of different views on genetically modified food. you eat does it meet on that any labels. find out what people in the big apple think on the great debate

globalization based in montreal believes canada was in the one making the decision here high only statement the only moments. really also very serious this is because it closes down communication it isolates iran it's taking diplomacy and it is creating calm or you could clone a sea so to speak this is just one chicken in our life it was taken in washington calculus very much a policy of the united states we have an integration of the military between the two countries there's consultation in foreign policy it's well known that the harper government really more or less follows in the footsteps of washington and i think that they want it concisely caliber to take the first step now it's interesting to say the least that when the foreign minister made the statements he also said well there are no reports of on an actual attack on iran

same cow the cows are labeled organic regular you know they're not a lot of people say there's no evidence that g.m.o. is are bad for your health. so but when it's on the label you can decide if you want to eat it or not so i think that's the difference if you think it's the or not or it makes no sense you can buy it whether or not you think it's fair for a company to not have to label for g.m.o. information the bottom line is if you live in the united states you are probably ingesting a lot of g.m.o. food whether you like it or not. and while much of the world is getting dragged ever deeper into recession and unemployment is the east is finding ways to innovate and expand in india many workers are now moving out of offices and staying at home part of a flexible approach which has seen
