the wto plans to ask the country to change the practice. japan, the u.s. and the european union filed a complaint in june last year saying china's export control is against wto rules. china accounts for more than 90% of the global output of rare earth metals used to make high-tech products like smartphones. the country said it's limiting exports to protect the resource and the environment. sources now say the wto is in broad agreement with the claims by japan and other countries. the organization has put an interim report together to advise china to correct the situation. the wto is expected to publish a final report in december after hearing from china and other parties involved. >>> beijing has launched and anti-smog action plan so local residents can breathe easier. that comes after air pollution in the city hit unsafe levels earlier this month. the plan calls for cutting the levels of the pollutant pm 2.5 by more than 25% by 2017. a key part of the plan is a thermal power plant now being built in a beijing suburb. it will be one of the city's biggest t

not to mention inviting serious problems with a wto complaint. let me assure you the wto stove is hot. in closing, we are around the table for a reason. i'm here and committed to resolve differences in order to provide certainty to our producers and a forward thinking farm bill responsible to farmers, ranchers, lenders, consumers, as well as taxpayers across the country. thank you so much to the leadership of both committees, the producers who have participated in all of our hearings and meetings, and all the members here for working to advance agriculture. i'm reminded of the remarks of the distinguished chairman, the sometimes powerful ag committee who always said we strive to get the best possible bill, and the end result, we get the best bill possible. the distinguished chairman of the house committee said we have to do it. it's our responsibility to do it. it is my view, and also the view of our ranking member in the house, colin peterson, we're going to lose credibility if we don't get the bill done. we have to get the bill done. thank you

and it runs counter to the world trade organization, the wto, and our important trade partners both in canada and mexico who have obviously protested that program. we also, i need not remind all of us, have an agreement with canada and mexico with nafta. this issue is an important one and i think needs and should be resolved in this conference committee discussion. finally, american consumers and the people who put the food on our table, those are american farmers, ranchers and dairy producers of which my family has been a part of for three generations, they expect us to work together. when i go home, that's what they tell me. the goal is to produce the most cost-effective food in the world at the highest quality for american consumers and for the world. and nobody does it, nobody does it better than america's farmers, dairy men and ranchers. this legislation, as has been stated before, has had a history of bipartisanship. we should work in that spirit. we need to send signals to the marketplace that only a five-year farm bill can provide. so again, i want to strongly encourage my coll

we just entered wto. by the way, with some assistance of negotiations, and wto frame work, regulations is exactly what create and environment that is understandable, known by all potential investors and trading partners in russia, more writing the first negative benefits of the membership in the first presented against us within regulations by this, and it's normal trading environment and dispute to be resolved through normal mechanism created by all of us to work in the field to get it, and i'd like to say that the argument that russia is from the innoun enigma in terms of economic environment is wrong. we are normal country. we are market economy. we are young market economy. we have yet to further mature is something we are working on each and every day, but by the same token, we'd like to see more russian companies remitted here, and working in american environments. some of them are here, some more or less successful, and some of them, both on the russian side and american side, you know, when you as

but, again, the wto on's recent track record in terms of achieving deals has not been good. you mentioned at the top, ross, that both china and the u.s. are saying that, look, you need to resolve big issues like the crisis in washington. plus, there's a lot of attention on china's slowing growth. that got the attention of, obviously, australia, which is a huge supplier in terms of commodities to china. but xi jinping addressed those concerns and said slowing growth in china, even at about 7%, twice, this is what we intended and that is what we planned. take a listen. >> we have recognized to fundamentally address economic development, china has to press ahead with structure reform. even if it requires some sacrifices. they must have an undertaking, one has to look far and plan widely and to take both the long-term and the short-term needs. killing the hand to get the ax, draining a pond to catch fish is no formula for sustainable development. >> and chinese president xi jingpin there speaking at the time summit earlier on. you might be surprised, maybe you might not be becau

both are members of the g-20 countries and the united nation and the wto.here is a lot of important relationsships at take for both countries. they don't see eye to eye and this is not a novelty they have had the same stance before with the palestinian issue and the invasion of iraq. september 11th was a great test between both countries. they have been going through tough situations in the past and i believe they will pass through this one as well. but some frankness and bluntness is required to discuss the issues on the table rather than behind closed doors. thank you for sharing your issues with us. >> now a amnesty international says u.s. drone strikes are illegal an coul and could amounr crimes. it's kawin calling for those responsible to be prosecuted. the drone strikes between january 2012 and august of this year. the highlights where civilians were killed and including 9 the death of a 9-year-old boy. to that ran to help the victims were killed in a follow-up attack. here is a family that survived one such strike. >> this is the family, they say the

yet you point out the difficulties we've seen with the wto protesters, the protesters of the occupy movements in particular, this case study we highlighted in puerto rico where most americans don't think a puerto rico as the u.s., but it is. the constitution applies. close to 4 million american citizens live there. yet you have the second-largest police department in the nation, only second to new york police department, and the massive levels of oppression and shutdown, of arrests, tear gassing, beating of students of labor leaders of the level of impunity that lasted for years until the aclu filed the report, while bleed -- lobbied our justice department. they only stepped in recently to try to put the puerto rico police department under better control under the rule of law. >> this tactic of picking people asse and in holding them, supposedly while protest continued, basically pulling them out without any real charges just to get them off the street? >> that is how they dealt with the protests in new york i'm especially after the conventions or during the conventions when they corralled re
