you're watching r.t. live from moscow one pm in their russian capital i'm 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 aimed at spurring global growth in asia pacific economies gathered in stock are seen as the best bet for fueling a recovery with traditional powerhouses like the u.s. and europe flagging arches or in a delusion go is following developments in the form. as president. right now the global economy has reached a critical point and in order to ensure stability and prosperity china is ready to take on the role of the power locomotive to pull the world the global economy out of this crisis 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 the lot of matters and not just in matters concerning the economy but also 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 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 to a geisha is here right now 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 they talked about syria's foreign minister said that russia has expressed its dissatisfaction with the fact that as syria gets continuously appointed with sanctions and he talked about the pointlessness of such sanctions president obama sent his regards and apologies saying that he couldn't be here if the united states right now is in the midst of. pre-election republican contender

for the presidential polls mitt romney has expressed his opinion that russia is united states geopolitical enemy number one 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. an exclusive interview ahead of the summit 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 feeling is that he is a son summa and that he sincerely wants to implement to have changed. 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 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 a tools of us domestic policy if you will course watch the full version of this

interview on r t s a you tube channel. bringing oscar reporting that now financial consultants are amani 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. so not overtly obviously but when it comes to issues like syria and iran there is a great deal of course 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. we have more live updates and analysis from the apec summit in russia's far east join us for that throughout the day. to europe now where a death crippled greece is braced for more protest against and new round of severe spending cuts the country's creditors are demanding that an eleven point five billion euros package is adopted to secure vinyls rescue loans and this time it's not just the capital where people are furious with the plans thousands are expected to take part in an anti-government rally in greece the second largest city this weekend are just be all over 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 is so 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 thing coming every year old in every election the good. of the things the lies to us in order to go to be in the government and after one hundred two days they forget everything everything and they go to uni and do whatever the european countries are 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. here again economic turmoil has inspired countries which used to be associated with stability and belgium as companies look for ways to cut costs local see their jobs in jeopardy due to a huge influx of workers from poorer e.u. states and as artists are still you know explains the situation with employment there in the short term it's 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 belgium is big influx of foreign 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 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 or. what we can call. need to work but if that work is going to other companies then we will lose a lot of jobs a. local firm say they're 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 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 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 yes or sylvia r.t. . or this hour in the kaiser report financial gurus max and stacy take a look at this week's other victims of the debt crisis and here's a bit of what's happening. in the only world 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

congress for helping arm the syrian rebels and intervening in the country with some senators pushing for greater american involvement in the conflict but president of the arab lawyers association says the west is preventing the syrian people from changing their dire situation. western powers have gone where you go and 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 the western powers are stopping the civilian population stopping the revolution from actually coming to terms with the government but what they are doing at the present moment he's putting a veto on anybody discussing with the government under the idea that you cannot work with the people whose hands are full of blood while we did exactly the same thing in britain when we called on the ira to speak with their government 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. britain america and the countries that assisting him are willing to sacrifice the population of syria in order to achieve their objective of changing the regime. save us here in r t a later on in the program we get a flavor of different views on genetically modified food. organic no that doesn't same cow in the cows are labeled organic or regular find out what people in the big apple think of the great debate surrounding what we are told about g.m. products. plus a future is for you lance the super smart indian workforce that's happy to shun stated salaries but is blamed for jeopardizing jobs in the west. i'm sorry that i had to do this i've been in so much pain in the past year that i

russia would be too much brighter if you live by phone from phones to freshen. down totty don't come. with our teeth canada has severed diplomatic ties with iran closing its tampa st iran and expelling iranian diplomats from the country explaining the surprise move officials said that to iran represents the biggest threat to global security with its nuclear activities support for the syrian regime and threats against israel tehran slammed the decision accusing canada of

a radical foreign policy that puts the interests of israel ahead of those of its own citizens by michelle just adopt the director of the center for research and globalization based in montreal's believes canada wasn't the one making the decision here this is it's hardly state but the moment it's. really also very serious this is because it closes down communication isolates the rod it's taking diplomacy and it is creating call boy good lomas the so to speak this is what you can in all of what was taken in canada is very much a policy of the united states we have religious ration of the military between the two countries that's consultation and foreign policy it's well known but the whole really more or less follows in the footsteps of washington and i think that they want to it's precisely kind of the state with us there now it's interesting just

saying. police there when the foreign minister made the statements he also said well there are no reports of on an actual attack on iran so everybody is talking about an attack on iran israel's talking about it not parma song about it it's part of the election campaign it's 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 take a look at some other stories from around the world a suicide bomb attack on nato headquarters in the afghan capital kabul has killed six people including children the taliban has claimed responsibility for the a tap the blast to play some it's all abrasions marking eleven years since al qaeda militants killed an anti taliban commander. french investigators want to interview the brother of a british man killed along with his wife in the french alps detectives are looking

politicians on suspicion of fraud and. the demonstrations coincided with independence day celebrations brazil has long struggled to tackle corruption and improve government accountability. now is concerned growing over global food security the use of genetically modified ingredients is becoming increasingly common and increasingly conversational much of the debate centers on whether it poses a risk to health and whether or not g.m. foods should be labeled resident show laurie host laurie hardness has been gauging opinion and 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. most of they don't it'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 i don't know 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 is 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. greens in a way whether they're good for you or not so maybe they should put on there are you ok with it i'm ok with it you don't care if it's been messed with and. 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 we maybe need to look at other wise that we can help. a

whole. food production really think should be labeled the consumers you know the point where you get to go everywhere and you may go away what do you do put a bar code i have not got to read it right now and that's the other thing are people going to pay attention and care anyway right the price being someone that works in retail 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 regardless like organic milk because i'm the same cow the cows are labeled or again. 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 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 the label for g.m.o. information but 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. while much of the world is getting dragged ever deeper into recession and unemployment the east is finding ways to innovate and expand and india many workers are now moving out of offices and staying at home part of a flexible approach which has seen a boom in the highly skilled freelance sector and are now reports the shift is blamed for a knock on effect in the west. it's the middle of the day and while most of his peers are out and about working nine to five in the corporate world twenty nine year old buck she is sitting at his workstation in the comfort of his bedroom i haven't they would have the job it would go to open them to six i'm not of this bus and so i'm pretty much doing it on my own when i work from home. i'm feeling less

with what i need some inspiration for writing i would go to a coffee house a self professed tech nerd buck she graduated with high marks and has four years of work experience at microsoft under his belt while he may have had his pick of cushy jobs but she chose to become a freelancer and is now working online on short term branding campaigns for multiple clients around the world such as american express his part of a growing trend of people who are moving their work out of the office and online studies show that one third of the global workforce will be hired online by two thousand and twenty and it seems like boxing is the hot commodity experts say that one third of the 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 but there are. those who are exceptional. what i would call situational. understanding of 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 a time new image in the our quit his full time job last year to develop digital databases for european universe. good workers young people go to good schools you know. probably good causes and people are. more educated more skilled in different areas and sometimes more technicalities macian their specialized skills and digitization has made him highly sought after and he's

now earning twice as much as he did when he worked full time he believes that india's economy will prosper as freelancing becomes more widespread economy would be stronger because it made people more money but while the popularity of freelancing might be good news for people in the east it is causing some concern for highly skilled workers in the west sometimes for the stuff they concerned i don't really know people who are concerned about that i'm a friend of mine actually said that people are going to get laid off soon after her husband's 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 but 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 living there. for all the shit bucks she freelancing allows him to focus on his work for free and so 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 it skills and education to give workers around the world a run for their money preassure either r t new delhi india and just a few minutes it's the kaiser reports before that i'll bring in the headline status .
