contender for the presidential post 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 president bush 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 isn't suma and that he sincerely wants to implement the 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 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 his sleeve wrong because such behavior in the international arena is the same as using nationalism and segregation as tools of us domestic policy. of course

12:05 pm
where he called the west to account and said cooperate turn our back on you and i think this conference actually marks the point where they begin to turn their back and pay much more attention they're talking about increasing trade to russians with asia fivefold. america is only talking about doubling trade with russia sense of a citizen. and so clearly building what putin's been calling the nomic union has gone to the top of the russian policy agenda and that's russia asia led by china of course and that's where all the effort is going. all you've missed from the summit as well as detailed analysis is lined up for you on our website at the moment r t v dot com the word stand aside to see we've got this spectacular laser and fireworks show put on for the movers and shakers at the ford you can find that footage and dot com.

by the authorities. genetically modified foods a target by producers of the hunger risk facing the world's population but there's a battle between consumer groups raising the alarm about possible health hazards and food producers resisting attempts to force them to label their products so the president or healthiness want to gauge 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.
12:24 pm
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 is no mean i guess in our generation we've to see what it has been there it is it a younger generation concern is i think side of 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 listing greens in a way whether they're good for you or not so maybe there's a throne on there are you ok with it you know 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're not careful so we maybe need to look at other wise that we can help. in whole. food production really think should be labeled the consumers you know the place where you get it you don't have the organic medo rate what do you do put
12:25 pm
a barcode. read it right now and 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 it comes from same cow the cows are in label or again. regular you know they're not a lot of people say there's no low 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 a different if you think it's me 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.
