so there were. no building new offices in new york corporation corporate buildings just yesterday representatives or major banks after having had the local airport this happening here. deni schol sprouts all of the new developments they. express their desire to participate in this process but building the cosmodrome of the space vehicle launch pad so we will develop the car industry cluster which i have visited. it was built by the japanese and sold for a present such as he has already for the what they will be doing on that side they world remote. access and build new houses and where new enterprises are built to with a new level of production culture nurul houses are built the situation will

journalists and taking questions at the apec international summit in vladivostok. beveridge other news in greece say it's been seen as its first law school protests against a new round of wage and pension cuts with thousands marching through the streets of the country's second biggest city after last minor scuffles where the riot police erupted in the end of what was otherwise a peaceful demonstration several young people said rubbish on fire and burned flag the protests so it's plays against the backdrop of the e.u. and the i.m.f. inspectors are visiting greece to assess whether the debt crippled nation qualifies for its next multi billion euro tranche of aid to secure that rescue loan and stay in the euro zone athens is planning spending cuts with almost twelve billion euros

are people all of a has more. than some money. greek prime minister antonis samaras has said that he will do everything within his power to make sure the greece remains within the euro zone however he did acknowledge that the cuts that is government were making were both unfair and painful for the greek people but as unfair and painful as they are he says that the necessary as without being in the eurozone greece would die as a nation now he also says there are important is in terms of the country men taining any credibility that it has left on the global financial stage and not credibility is said to be tested quite soon is all that is from the so-called troika arrives in greece to see whether they've fulfilled their part of the bargain when it comes to making the cuts that they were asked to do on whether they received the next round of bailout money

a massive thirty one billion euros worth of assistance whether those cuts are necessary they're certainly not popular here in thessaloniki we've seen thousands of people out on the streets of greece the second city demonstrating against the way that the current governments are handling the financial crisis anger and the way the government is dealing with the crisis and what they're doing is wrong it's not just in terms of protest the greek people are airing their their grievances with the current government if you look at the latest political polls we're seeing that some are ases government lies in second place behind a a opposition party that anti bailout money was perhaps more worrying though is if you see that in third place is the ultra rightist party golden dawn party that has a far right agenda some of called neo nazi and fire they certainly have a seemingly growing popularity here in greece which is concerning many people many

people i've seen out in the streets here in face a lot of protesting what they call the fascist organize. ation i have to say though this demonstration thessaloniki far more peaceful than some we've seen in the past in greece that people are upset they're airing their views but they're certainly not of the violence a that we've seen in cities like athens as people demonstrate against the handling of the financial crisis. now drage at the crippling austerity has fled among other eurozone countries portugal's main trade union dubbed the new government cuts as a declaration of war spending on welfare slashed while in spain hundreds walked out against what they called a german maddening in their country's economy that's as the european central bank finally brought out the big guns and announced it will be buying in that country's bonds the move has already seen spain and italy its borrowing costs call french economists to believe the e.c.b. his plan will not actually help in the long term. the european central bank will

buy ten bonds trouble on the three years in the same time we resell private corporate bonds it's called civilization not to increase global liquidity on the market as a result effect of this strategy to be short lived i don't expect this kind of anti christ plan to work more than three to four months he didn't address the main crisis of the eurozone crisis is not a crisis of the debt it's a competitive eater krises and by the way it's as a decrease of growth the collapse of growth we have in a lot of eurozone countries and this fall into the e.c.b. is not addressing the real crisis and the problem is the fact that the eurozone is in a recession so far and the o.e.c.d.

is now stating that the recession cool go on for the next year this is not good news you know and the e.c.b. is not addressing this problem. this illusion mantra of the government is also spreading in france a slump in economic growth a huge job cards and war rhetorical regarding syria have led to a record number of french citizens disapproving of their president shortly after he took office are to. explain. france may have lost its title as the country with the highest per capita consumption of antidepressants but the french certainly have at last a peasant is now with more reasons to be unhappy because the new record unemployment levels our economy that's just not growing and we prospects all around and when they look to their new president they don't expect much of a future either so much so that sixty eight percent of french people are fearful for their future close with a record high of seventy percent in two thousand and five shortly after jacques

chirac was reelected for a second term but did manage to beat all other presidents in unpopularity after just one hundred days on the job sure i can lower ratings came after nine years in government and. bad ratings come after only four months. so it's catastrophic situation for you when you vote for change and you relate as the president doesn't have even a plan to deliver. the reforms you vaguely promised i mean of course you are. adding salt to injury the state just threw a life like to a struggling mortgage lender by guaranteeing its debts after launch explicitly declared the world of finance as his enemy during the election campaign this craziness has to stop i think this financial sector is spending on the other side

billions for things which are not a priority for us. francis began sending direct aid to anti assad regions in syria a former french colony a move that shortly followed a last. promise to recognize a provisional government formed by the opposition an all too familiar style in french foreign policy that irks citizens like mathilde despite having voted for a law and what she calls france's intrusive behavior she says is all about securing financial interest. we can change president but the foreign policy doesn't change both main political parties decided to go to war in my native country to send the french army to go and kill people and i rico today it is syrian money abroad they were trying to get just like what happened with libya the french have a superiority complex to a point where they imagine that they are the one saving others but they don't know is there we see other people for their money. a teacher at a local school and

a mother of three this is what she tells the kids they see the film i tell the kids to study hard improve their language skills and they must think of their future outside of france your own force and at this point the french have clearly lost patience does or sylvia r.t. paris. and later on in the program more analysis on the west some plans to recognize the syrian opposition i don't know what you could be equivalent of the obvious recognition of a government in exile rebuilding a government in exile perhaps if the russian government were to recognize the ku klux klan as a government in exile in america and provided heavy artillery so that they could go against washington or something like that. both runners in the u.s. presidential race barack obama and mitt romney are currently tied in the polls ickes asians have been thrown around a broken promises

a failing policies and even of lies yet somehow republicans and democrats are seem to have a great deal of common ground. compares the two parties a platform to find out whether it will make any real difference who wins. in two thousand and eight barack obama trying to u.s. politics into something of a pop culture phenomenon we may be one of those defining moments. a moment when our nation is at war our economy is in turmoil the democratic presidential candidate accepted his party's nomination value to rebuild america's moral standing and break from the policies of his predecessor the failure to respond is a direct result of a broken politics in washington and the failed policies of george w. bush four years after change occupied the white house america is still at war twenty three million citizens are unemployed and most of the national security

policies cemented by george w. bush continue unabated or have been expanding the code of fixation of what we're illicit abuses under bush imprisonment without trial spying without warrants we've now replaced imprisonment and torture largely with assassination which is actually not a moral improvement under obama's leadership guantanamo bay remains open the patriot act has been renewed warrantless wiretapping extended but cia black sites have closed targeted killings have been justified drone strikes publicly acknowledged military commissions codified however enhanced interrogation like waterboarding has been banned critics say obama has not only double down on bush's policies he's also raise the stakes signing the national defense authorization act made him the first us president to assert the right to assassinate anyone anywhere without any legal sanction if there is

a war cries out there we can the war crimes iraq. tops the list this made many of those who voted for him hoping for change left disillusioned in fact what they appear to have voted for was more of the same obama's ratings are now the lowest of any incumbent president since the one nine hundred eighty s. the two major parties are very this are very much the same on all the important issues when it comes to spending more money than we have. engaging in foreign conflicts that we can't afford the cost of america's overseas military campaigns have contributed to a u.s. national debt that topped sixteen trillion dollars this week while obama's america is running on empty critics say wall street continues to play largely by the same rules that led to the global financial crisis there hasn't been regulation of the banks in a sufficient way and the main crisis affecting the united states which is to say the financial clutch on the global economy and the corporate stranglehold on the

political system hasn't changed at all because president obama comes from a coalition that led to that in the first place since obama has stepped into the white house america has seen an unprecedented rise in grassroots movements like the tea party and occupy wall street though both very different one thing uniting them is the claim that the people of america are being ignored by their own government the two major us political parties have historically gone to great lengths and have spent hundreds of millions of dollars to highlight their differences yet following obama's first term in office the biggest change may be that more voters are likely to see a democrat and a republican as two sides of the same court merino court ny r.t. new york whether that has a tails that these one women behind the throne is already defined as foreign service officer george kennedy says both obama and romney too dependent on big

business to bring positive change. if obama were to be reelected would he do something different no. we have a problem in that both parties won't really say what they're going to do when. they win if they win but we know that. the democrats can't do very much because the republicans would obstruct and we know that there were republicans would do terrible things because the democrats wouldn't oppose them there would be a significantly increased chance of a new war in the middle east perhaps with the iran certainly intervention in syria of some sort greater tensions around the world worse relations with moscow and much worse relations with beijing and so we have a sort of a hobson's choice where the republicans are clearly worse but both parties are establishment parties that don't really want to change the status quo very much whether in foreign policy or in domestic policy and to put it bluntly the

american oligarchs are going to win. stay with us here on our d. later on in the program we'll take a look at the recent political protests in bahrain with another head handed police crackdown on the activists who were attacked on the streets to rally on mosques for their political rights. and a deadly shooting off of the windows election speech and they can aid in problems of your bag raises questions of a deeply divided electorate. this in free trade and nurturing closer links that's how easy a pacific nations am to energize economic growth across the world at the apec summit that's wrapping up in russia's flaws developing nations still to underpin global recovery and outpace expansion in developed countries let's not go to our dmitri medvedev and go in the city of lady ball stall good to see that oh we actually seeing an economic policy shift to move towards the east. well

basically it was a little bit of was rounding up the whole summit as it's basically closing its doors tonight here in the blood of all stock and again these started by praising the importance of the asia pacific region that the apec accounts for fifty percent of basically economic output and trade and he said that russia has indeed shifting its focus naturally over from europe which is still it remains its most important partner with fifty one percent of its trade accounting between the two sides and over to asia which over the past decade has increased trade and this is happening naturally not only because of the euro zone crisis but also due to a huge synergy of course between russia and asian nations. and expression late we're talking about china here and mentions several interesting projects that the russian and chinese sides have agreed upon and that's building on

a huge synergy and terms of energy efficiency of course and earlier before this apec summit that in a person gave an exclusive interview to r.t. where he spoke about the importance of china to russia as a trade partner let's listen to what he had to say china is indeed becoming a global economic and political hub china has taken up this new leading row not only in russia's eyes but also in the eyes of the whole world what makes this rather special however is that russia and china are neighbors and our special relations took thousands of years to evolve to where they are. over the coming years we are bound to achieve a one hundred million dollar turnover rate. and following this round up there was a very interesting q. and a session with international journalists and that includes an expanded on his views of what's going on basically in europe right now that he's very much worried as to what's happening within the e.u. that russia depends very much upon the e.u.

and when i asked a question about what's going on with russia's gas of monopoly gas promise that right now being investigated as basically a monopolist in eastern europe that in a putin said that this is jew to the economic problems of the e.u. which has been long subsidizing eastern european nations and now wants to put the burden on to russia and he says this is not a correct approach but he called the relationship as very far from being a trade. right i'm pretty sure that more analysis will be expected a little bit later from what he had to say at they've made thank you very much dimitri medvedev in the city of that people start for the apec summit. right well one of the major talking points of light in their visit to the far east was his time to lead a flock of white siberian cranes in flight the russian president joined a project to save the endangered. as well as disguising himself as one to help the cause but i want to special costume if you are micro light to show the cranes the

way to asia well at least for a short while at the final news conference of the apec summit one of the journalists asked to comment on the move and compared it to leading a country. fried. not. immediately only the weak koreans don't follow immediately thank you i must admit it's also the leader of the pilots from the north koreans from the media. but i would if i was too fast and too high they can't keep. their birds flying afloat even if they aren't part of the flock they're part of our population i mean should be taken care of as much as possible. to syria now where the us has

reportedly been beefing up its presence along the turkish border american officials said this week a washington is sending teams of advisers to support the anti assad fighters commenting on western nations plans to recognize the syrian rebels and most of the writer william endl says that would be a mistake given some elements within the opposition ranks. their long term agenda is introducing a. taliban like an addict who. makes a real law in syria and ending the tolerance of different religions which has been the trademark of syrian life for decades under under the old assad family. in general and there are reports of from journalists inside syria over the last months of these so-called opposition in many cases there are al qaeda or mujahideen that have been brought in from saudi arabia and elsewhere and provided guns and weapons. that they have beheaded civilians and blame the atrocities on the assad

government so this is really. i don't know what you could call the equivalent of the obvious recognition of a government in exile and building a government in exile perhaps if the russian government were to recognize the ku klux klan as a government in exile in america and provided heavy artillery so that they could go against washington or something like that it's just absurd the british prime minister also regenerated his calls for president assad to step down to make way for a new government formed by the syrian opposition as the u.k. continues to provide indirect help for the rebels there are no fears ordinary britons are heading for the syrian frontline laura smith has the story. to most britons going about their everyday lives the war in syria seems worlds away but for a few it's a struggle they feel personally involved in as the u.k.

government portrays president assad as an evil dictator there's evidence that britons are going to syria to fight for the opposition bumming an area m.p. khaled mahmoud says some in his community have already gone there is a particular individual who's actually gone back to baghdad at the moment and is going back in a few weeks time who's been engaged in fundraising supporting people and putting people together to go back to get people who signed the support and made work and other. rides saying that they're going to support the resistance some says mahmud of british syrian extraction others of british muslims who feel their faith makes this their struggle but whatever their reasons for going the fear is what they'll be when they return they're trained in the art of warfare but also radicalized as well and then they want to then continues on credit causation they want to bring more people on board and then perhaps their looks to try to. resolve some of the

gripes they have here that's blowback the u.k. has already seen from another conflict here in london on the seventh of july two thousand and five the official reports into the seven seventh's bombings revealed the existence of rumors that two out of the four bombers had been to afghanistan for so-called violent jihad back in the u.k. mohammed sidique khan and says that town with together killed fourteen people in combined suicide attack specific and seven bombers were only vaguely known to the authorities and that could be the case for fighters returning from syria too it's all very well to notify the u.k. borders agency but in reality there's very little. well they can do people that may leave here to fight in syria will not go directly to syria they may stop in turkey or lebanon or arc so the government will not be able to really know the.

nation there's no real way of telling whether they're actually going to end up in syria there is no way to know. who when they enter syria who they'll be liaising with. ideologies necessarily how ideologies and viewpoints might change in syria these are the scenes that could greet them on their return and he islamist organization the english defense league is unlikely to take further radicalization of british muslims lying down creating more bad feeling and deeper fissures in an already divided society full western who's british freedom party is allied to the e.t.l. says militant groups are preparing for a confrontation we're going to get further and further into this horrible situation of them and us and them and us and then you have small scale violence that starts and it's the tit for tat and that's why. you know i think we literally entering into religious civil war scenario so far the government's given the syrian

opposition eight million dollars for non-lethal equipment including communications but ordinary britons could find themselves paying the far higher price of unrest and insecurity at home for this support for the syrian opposition laura smith r t london. to bahrain now with fresh anti-government demonstrations have ended in six arrests after dozens took to the streets in defiance of a banned by the authorities the protesters call for the release of prisoners of conscience are detained largely planning to the government riot police used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse the crowds the pro reform movement started in february last year with police crackdowns allegedly leaving at least sixty dead and dozens of arrests and easy times correspondent best buy things that the protests are not likely to abate anytime soon. the protests in bahrain which are absolutely

legitimate it's the case of a shiite majority seventy percent of the country protesting because they are treated as second or third rate citizens in their own country by a sunni dynasty which is very close to the house of saud in saudi arabia and the problem is the house of saud the g.c.c. countries the petro monarchies of the persian gulf they managed to convince the us and the west that this is a plot snatched by iran to destabilize the persian gulf which is cool politically absurd there is a tradition of protesting during that goes on for decades infected workers protests they are shiite but they are also sunni is involved wherever happens in bahraini is always viewed by the saudis in via washington as a minor disturbance and of course the west does not want to compromise its position as being the aircraft. guardian angel of the persian gulf.

it was the sound of gunfire which this week rudd canadian politics just says the newly elected premier of tea bag moron gave her acceptance speech one man was shot dead in the other seriously wounded after the shooting the suspect has been taken into custody while shouting in french there to quote a the english are waking up unquote and winning back while could once again dres the question of where they kill bag should gain independence from time of them while it's still not clear whether the suspected shooter had mental disorder or a political motive the action highlighted anglo-french divisions in the province it would be nice to believe that the man is just a lunatic it's pretty clear he may be a lunatic but he is motivated by the divisions in canada one has to remember that divisions go both ways. because the english canadians under the british empire

always ruled the roost the french canadians began to become very bitter about this and inevitably over time that's caused many problems and they want autonomy so it is going to revive a passion because of sorceress the right way to put it that's putting it just a little bit emotionally but obviously it will and some english canadians feel very strongly about this i know as of course to some french canadians were clearly the people who feel passionately that quebec should remain part of a canadian nation and never going to trust her because she belongs to a party which believes in the maximum amount of autonomy so of course. there was a hearty eyes close of the interview with president vladimir putin is coming your way shortly after the headline. news.
