is ten am in the russian capital you're watching r t with me marina joshie leaders of nations that make up half the world's population are getting down to business for the apec summit in russia's far east and it's spurring global growth asia pacific economies gathered in lot of us dogs are seen as the best bet for fueling recovery with traditional powerhouses like the u.s. and you were flagging are hearing those go as a form we can get the latest from her now so rena tells the asia pacific region is the focus of so much hope for nomic revival now with china towards becoming a global political and economic hub. well that's right looks like china is actually ready to take on the brunt of responsibility to be that locomotive which will hopefully pull the global economy out of the crisis it is in right now so it's really no surprise that russia is looking increasingly more and more towards its

close neighbor and the moscow and beijing seem to agree on a lot of matters not just in things not just in matters concerning the economy but also in what it is but also in all matters concerning politics as well and now of course russia has a lot to offer to china and china is ready and willing to receive whatever russia has to offer now the closer the corporation between the two countries becomes increasingly warm an amicable with it seems like with every passing year and that is something that was underlined by president putin and his exclusive interview to r.t. which he had of the summit. all right well how does that close the lines between russia and china sit with the rest of the major players in the region. well of course it looks like of course we can expect the united states to be somewhat worried about china which it probably sees as its main rival as some have suggested

but of course the united states did a geisha and is here right now president obama sent his regards and apologise saying that he couldn't be here of course he has to be present at the democratic convention which is going on which was underway which was going on in the united states but he did send hillary clinton to stand in for him of course the u.s. secretary of state has met with russian foreign minister sergei lavrov bright and early this morning they were discussing again not just economic matters a but political as well you have to understand that apec summit increasingly becomes not just a financial vessel but also a hot kind of a hotter enough for discussions on the sidelines in matters concerning political issues as well so. often for clinton did talk about syria and the sanctions and they also have discussed iran they agreed that they have the same goals that the approaches differ and they need to find solutions. in

a prompt and amicable manner of course we all know that russia and the united states disagree on that for example their approach to solving the syrian conflict and of course the united states right now is in the midst of its pre-election campaign we do know that the presidential elections are coming up and we. heard from mitt romney who said that russia is the u.s. geopolitical enemy number one of course that point of view isn't shared by president barack obama who said that that kind of thinking is indicative of a cold war era. mindset of course president obama was praised by the wisdom in his interview. for feeling is that he is a sense that that he sincerely wants to implement the positive change but can he do it they let him do it. i mean there is also the. military lobby and the department of state which is quite conservative would be 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 what you see wrong because such behavior in the international arena is the same as using nationalism and segregation as the tools of u.s. domestic policy. and of course you can catch the full version of this interview on our teased you tube channel of course stand by for more information coming in from the apec summit which is under which is underway and like a stock right i mean it would definitely well thanks very much indeed for keeping us up to speed with what's happening there at the summit and lot of us aren't really logical reporting there. our financial consultant. says the growing ties between russia and china counterbalance the influence of the u.s. both economically and politically the time 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 live updates and analysis from the apec summit in russia's far east so join us for that throughout the day.

to europe now where debt crippled greece is brace for more protest against a new round of severe spending cuts the country's e.u. creditors are demanding that an eleven point five billion euro stare and package is adopted to secure vital rescue loans and assignments not just the capital where people are fewer yes with plans thousands are expected to take part in an anti-government rally in greece the second largest city this weekend reports greece's economic problems are well documented but they don't show signs of going anywhere anytime soon saloniki the country's 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 tony assume maurice the greek prime minister is coming here to open the tray failed on saturday but if he thinks he's in for

a warm reception he might have another thing coming every year old in every election the good. of the promise things they say life's to us in order to grow and to be in the government and after one hundred two days they forget every everything and they go to europe and they do whatever the european countries would like that they do not do what ever the good people like the greek would 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 locals see their jobs in jeopardy due to huge inflow of workers from poorer states as much he says are still you know slayings the situation with employment there in the short term is only likely to get worse. over here at a construction site where all the workers as well as the owners of the construction company are from poland belgium is seeing an influx of foreign workers from other countries and more often than not these workers left the belgian counterparts in limburg 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 boots 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 the need 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're also losing out when it comes to speed of delivery our building sectors have the unionized. to do good for strict working new rules but if you look at the foreign companies people work ten twelve thirteen fourteen hours a day six days out of seven and that of course for delivery speed of your project is a huge advantage and more belgian clients are opting to try their services these people are much more flexible so that's that's why we tried it and it was a 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 on their own turf tesser cilia r.t. antwerp in belgium later today in a kind of report financial gurus max and stacey take

away down the tunnel. now twin blasts have rocked the syrian capital damascus leaving at least six people dead the first blast was reportedly caused by a booby trap motorcycle which exploded near a mosque in friday afternoon while worshippers were leaving prayers the second explosion went off between the justice and information ministries leaving no casualties meanwhile calls are getting louder the u.s. congress for helping arm the syrian rebels and intervening in the country with some senators pushing for greater american involvement in the conflict the president of the arab lawyers association. the west is preventing the syrian people from changing their dire situation. i think the western powers have gone where you beyond what was acceptable even and 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 affect the the must stick change at the end of the day the western powers want to change the existing great genes because that's the regime is the only one that is left that is not pro west we've seen what happened there and we've seen what happened in iraq iraq is no country which is under occupation not just by the usa but by the. as well fundamentalism is being spread by everywhere but now they and the west is trying now even to work with the islamist movement in order to thwart any of the the work

ethic movements in these countries and i think syria definitely the people in syria are looking for democracy are 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 if it's only interest. stay with us here in our team and later on in the program get a flavor of different views on genetically modified food. you read the label and you don't trust that i don't trust any labels. find out what people in the big apple think for a debate surrounding what we're told about g.m. products. plus the future is free lance the super smart in work force that says happy to shun study salaries but is blind for jeopardizing jobs in the last.

own citizens but michele just director of the center for research on globalization based in montreal believes canada out wasn't the one making the decision here. this is a high only statement at a timely moments it is really also very serious this because it closes down communication it isolates iran it's taking diplomacy and it is creating karl hoerr it diplomacy so to speak this decision wasn't taken in our life it was it was taken in washington canada's very much a proxy 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 merely more or less follows in the footsteps of washington and i think that they want it to science leak out of the state the first step now it's interesting to say the least that when the foreign minister there made the

statements he also said well there are no reports of on an actual attack on iran everybody is talking about an attack on iran israel's talking about it not barbless talking about it it's part of the election campaign gets an act of it's a recognition it's very unfortunate because we have to maintain dialogue with countries and build peace rather than create conditions which could lead to you know to a military accidents. now is take a look at some other stories from around the world. that's a gator's you the brother of a british man killed along with his wife in the french alps attacked as are looking into the possibility of a family feud about money the victim's four and seven year old daughters who survived the shooting are believed to be the only witnesses to what happened when incident left four people dead including an elderly woman and a passing cyclist. or series of earthquakes in southwest china now stands at

opinion in new york. more than forty countries around the world have mandated g.m.o. labeling on food products but not in the u.s. is it fair to consumers to not have that information this week let's talk about that you would like to see the labels that absolutely why do you think we don't have them here oh i'm a big conspiracy theorist and i'm sure that like the government you know because they're getting paid by the pharmaceutical companies that own the g.m.o. stuff they don't that's all that's what i think it comes down to money like everything out right exactly and it's all about big corporations making the seeds that are genetically modified other no i mean i've got a daughter who's really really particular about what she said no i mean i guess in our generation we do see what it has been there it is it a younger generation concern i think cite a lot of people say there's no direct link to it in terms of what it does to your

how but then again they said that about smoking a decade this is mean they do list ingredients in a way whether they're good for you or not so maybe there's a bit on there are you ok with it i'm ok with it you don't care if it's been messed with no i just think you know we've got to be careful because we're not going to have enough food at some point if we don't so we maybe need to look at otherwise that we can help. in a whole. food production really things should be labeled the consumers you know the place where you get you know if you were going out and you made oh great what do you do put a bar code i have not got to read it right now and i bet the other thing are people going to pay attention and care anyway right the price being someone that works in retail with food on the shelf you know you read those labels and you don't trust them i don't trust any levels but you know what organic labels. you know some of them i do just because they're a little healthier but regardless like organic milk because i'm seeing how the cows

are labeled or get. regular you know they're not a lot of people say there's no evidence that g m o's 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 probably 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're probably ingesting a lot of g.m.o. food whether you like it or not at. all much of the world is getting dragged ever deeper into recession and unemployment at least 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

studies show that one third of the global workforce will be hired online by twenty twenty and it seems like boxy is the hot commodity experts say that one third of their freelance projects from around the world are being completed by people here in india they say it's not just about hiring workers for lower wages they also believe that indians are extremely competitive when it comes to getting white collar jobs the internet has created a level playing field and now indians like buck she are being chosen to work for major international companies there are. highly educated and very skilled. jobs are exceptional they do. what i would call situational fluency understanding. us or cations and cultural norms it's a matter of pride for many indians who believe that the country can be known for more than just outsourcing call centers and manufacturing

company because they're looking outsourced think that it makes economic sense to take here and to invest in the place where you live and work and ultimately that's likely to benefit you i think the u.s. government and the american people need to think for themselves about how they can make themselves more attractive or work for any company leaving them there. for all the shit box she freelancing allows him to focus on his work but if you just get the job done and before the designated as the nation with the highest number of freelancers the indian labor force is using its skills and education to give workers around the world a run for their money preassure either r t new delhi india. you want to argue live from moscow and shortly we'll look back on a plane crash one year ago which claimed the lives of forty four people including a professional hockey team welcome all to jaroslaw and that's after the headlines.
