online on screen international news and comment live from the new center here in moscow top economic movers from eastham west gathered at the apec summit in russia with the common aim of spurring global growth with traditional powers like the u.s. and europe in decline asia pacific countries feel it's up to them to pick up the task of recovery and he said in a going to go is following developments at the forum. president who said that right now the global economy has reached a critical point and in order to ensure stability and prosperity china is ready to take on that role of the power locomotive to pull the world with 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 the maddest concerning the economy but also concerning politics as well and now of course that 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 its pre-election campaign republican

contender for the presidential polls to 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 my feeling is that he isn't summa 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 it q. 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

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 has been calling. 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. already missed from the summit is what is detailed analysis is lined up for you right now on a website. and a site to see we've got these spectacular laser and far show put on the movers and shakers out the form you can find all that footage there on r.t. dot com.

painful and unjust and even unfair but nevertheless necessary the greek prime minister has made his pitch for the latest and one of the harshest yet sturdy packages set to come into force speaking in thessalonica the nation's second largest city the prime minister declared the cuts were compulsory if greece is to stay in the eurozone but not everybody agreed with thousands gathering to protest against the austerity package they're upset that it targets some of the country's most vulnerable including pensioners low income workers and those on state benefits when dartmouth m.e.p. from independence party questions just what it is that greece gains from clinging to the euro i would have sermonize that many many people in greece will feel will feel that greece as has suffered enough already from being in the euro. and what is it that they're really being offered they're just being offered more of

the same it's another dead end. leading to nowhere and already the greek economy has contract by almost ten percent since the crisis began i mean how much more dignity contract i mean the fact of the matter is that the political establishment in these countries always tends to be in favor of more and more you are more your although the evidence is absolutely crystal clear that it isn't working it doesn't work what we're watching is a slow slow motion train crash which also could endanger the entire world economy. and with finances across the e.u. firmly in the doldrums many once prosperous companies are having to trim the fat but it's easier said than done with migrant workers flooding the job market across the block working harder longer and cheaper finding favor among customers and envy from those they force out. reports we're here at a construction site where all the workers as well as the owners of the construction

company are from belgium and. four workers from other countries and more often than not these workers left counterparts in limbo 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 what we can call. of people 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 are also losing out when it comes to speed of delivery our building sectors have lead you know. to do good for. working rules but if you look at the foreign companies people work ten twelve thirteen fourteen hours

a day six days. that 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 on their own turf tesser cilia r.t. antwerp in belgium. things aren't but if greece is for those suffering it's really either the world's oldest bank there founded before christopher columbus discovered america is now on the verge of bankruptcy while the banks predicament is explored in the report with max and stacey explaining its looming downfall the full program is coming up at seven thirty pm g.m.t. but here's

a quick preview for you. in italy world all this bank faces uncertain future monti passkey did not survive berlusconi's bunga bunga parties it seems the country bank is on the verge of bankruptcy it's the third biggest bank in italy and now it has all these government bonds were just 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 there's you know a member in the 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. because reportedly will

so i think it's obvious why rain is hosting the us fifth naval fleet bahrain is in absolutely the most key position in the straits of hormuz so the existence and the maintenance of the u.s. using bahrain as their chief outpost is of excellent strategic importance and they will not negotiate they will not tolerate a democratic uprising in bahrain where they could make an unstable leadership they need is an outpost for western imperialism. coming up here later on in the program a matter of taste. because in the same town in the cows are labeled organic regular people in new york weigh in on the debate surrounding the labels on genetically modified products. as more and more jobs are created online the freedoms. that the west but for very different reasons.

authorities. genetically modified foods attended by producers an answer to the hunger risk facing the world booming population but there's a battle between consumer groups raising the alarm about possible hazards and food producers resisting attempts to force them to label their g.m. products so the resident or half of us went to gauge opinion in new york. more than forty countries around the world has 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 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 does not mean i guess in our generation we do see what it has been there it is it a younger generation concern i think 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 they should put 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 don't we maybe need to look at other wise that we can help . in whole. food production really things should be labeled the consumers you know the place where you get to go everywhere get it made oh wait what do you do put a barcode on not going to 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 labels 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 in label 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 a different if you think it's probably or not or 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.
