business bulletin in about fifteen minutes time on that and later today a special edition of artes on the money for the brother talks to me that the st petersburg or about what lies ahead for business in russia. at least sixteen people have been killed in syria as well as protests there continue the e.u. is planning a third round of sanctions against the regime of president assad if its deadly crackdown on demonstrations war activists run becker says the sanctions are the the first step towards a wider intervention the e.u. if it adopts these new sanctions the third wave of sanctions there incrementally ask relating the u.s. and western european intervention into syria i think that we're going down the road as we went in libya where one step leads to another step there climbing the escalation ladder they have a very sort of selective concern for the lives of protesters and democracy
3:09 am
movements are movements that call themselves democracy movements you take. your condoning the crackdown on peaceful protesters i think what's really happening is that syria syria has been targeted by the united states and also in principally by . france and the u.k. for regime change and i think they see this growing protest movement in the possible slippage of the country in the direction of civil war as an opportunity to overthrow what has been considered to be an independent government in syria. the middle east expert and blogger card sorrow told r.t. that america's policies in the region show this priority to the geopolitical interests rather than the interests of the public. all the talk of exporting democracy and all that sort of preaching to the rest of the world i find is highly inconsistent and it's hypocritical and in the case of syria in particular i think
3:10 am
the u.s. is caught between wanting to be active but at same time mortified by what the alternative would be in syria which in my view is completely unjustified it's not necessarily going to turn into a fundamentalist islamic state or anything like that what we are seeing there are really for freedom and democracy and. why could have been if you like played a more consistent role in foreign policy hasn't done. also any sort of intervention there were doing which is based purely on this desire for stability is bound to be counterproductive. but amid fears of a looming u.s. military intervention in syria r.t. has been asking. what they think about america's ongoing wars. you know there was an arab spring maybe america will have its own spring wide range of opinions in the

continue our journey to the coldest continent on earth antarctica. that fierce climate of the time religion that is. covered that is a place to visit the southernmost russian orthodox church on the planet. perched atop a picturesque or rocky hill overlooking the sea a typical entirely russian orthodox church though this scene looks like it could be taken right out of a siberian picture book think again. at the work this is important so far this is the only antarctic station that has a russian orthodox church. the trinity church is the southernmost russian orthodox church on the planet and getting it here was not an easy operation. if they don't go through in two thousand and two they built the temple from the cedar tree and the church was built to mix up there for a while until the end of two thousand and three they numbered all the parts every
3:19 am
beam was disassembled and they transported it to kaliningrad america shipped all the way here to antarctica since feb fifteenth two thousand and four the church has been officially up and running with the orthodox church providing a staff of two specially trained months each year but given the extreme climate in which they operate live face extreme challenges as well. because the conditions in antarctica are unusual with strong winds we need to hold back the power of the wind with such strong tight walls and special chang's sometimes the rain here comes out as horizontally with the wind so that the water is not just coming through the cracks but also we comply mumford's to leak inside. and out trinity church has become a sort of antarctica landmark even becoming somewhat of a tourist destination for v.i.p.'s and diplomats. no matter who visits this church they always say it's beautiful it's a remarkable church made out of good in a russian architectural tradition. more than just a popular tourist destination the building. island is

3:21 am
comfortable and you feel very special here the russian tradition in antarctica goes back to the very discovery and according to the russian orthodox see it is only fitting that there is an official testament to that history of. this church just by its presence speaks volumes for every person not just in russia. but even for foreigners the presence of a church it means a godly presence and i'm talking with. a presence that they hope will last for generations to come in antarctica sean thomas. but i'll be back with headlines about ten minutes time but first we go back to some pieces but again much reza the latest from the internet for. that's right working off day three of the st petersburg international economic forum day two was marked by the landmark address from russian president dmitry
