international news or comment live from moscow this is r.t. good to have you with us this. more deaths are being reported in syria where security forces have launched raids in the north west to stop protesters escaping across the border into turkey meanwhile russia is running members of the un security council to encourage the sides to stop violence and start negotiations the kremlin believes president assad has worked to change the situation on the ground through reforms and his efforts deserve some credit for the u.s. and its western european allies are pushing for action against president assad's regime which they've already sanctioned french political analysts pig believes there's an underlying motive in calls for protecting syrian civil. sanctions in general do not well because countries always find ways to go around the sanctions and so on this sanctions would start really looking to go on with production of oil . they would be banning of importation so it's not quite logic. and most probably

syria would find different outlets who are ideal in every single one of these situations because every time that the west or other countries talk about a humanitarian intervention the question that needs to be asked is why there is a dimension in some countries but not in others for example in bahrain the people wanted to get rid of their regime but since it was so close near us there was no question of a humanitarian intervention and there is no question of them pressuring the saudi arabia question of intervention to help the palestinians so the humanitarian question cannot be give forced political and economic questions you have to find a political economic and military interests before you start believing in it to manager and reasons because most in all so-called interventions humanitarian interventions you know that we use in which is far more important. struggle drags on and see how it's impacting on the people of the stricken country

hotties any nigga let's go is there and has been meeting those at the sharp end of the sanctions. now do you know is a master barber though small his shop was floored until it all ended in the snip. there are many customers that would come from this forest twenty kilometers away from damascus but now the flow has come down. first came the unrest then the crackdown then the west's quickly stepped in with sanctions to survive the economic pressure on the cheap the political how about trying to help the people of syria to achieve the magician aspirations i pursed all major credit card transactions were stopped earlier this month but that mainly affected foreign tourists because fear runs its own payment system and those with syrian accounts didn't feel the pinch however of the e.u. when the us are tightening their grip by opposing oil embargo i don't ask us so will that have any probable impact on the people here. or sanctions will have

a negative effect on syrian economy it's a diversified economy with a stable debt which gives it a certain immunity against these sanctions. and this is not just government gloss in the face of imposed adversity syrian opposition figures are also unconvinced but for a different reason. the syrian government have chosen and no matter what measures are taken against them will continue down that road. so anxious are sold as a precise weapon to hit the regime where it hurts but syrian analysts say they're too blunt a tool and it's the people who will suffer the most when you are talking about of. course what we call it. in my life as a serious citizen. as well the power dealers of the west in syria trade insults and blows for syrian workers like my dear the daily battle is to keep his modest livelihood together while hoping for the best isn't old school r t damascus syria.

over libya the old regime may have been toppled but the fighting showing no sign of letting up and the rebels say they've done enough talking we'll stay with r.t. for the latest from the front line in the hunt for kind of our feeling as if loyalists remain determined to the end. also still to come this hour europe's financial bosses plan on tightening their grip on the rest of the eurozone and give brussels a bigger role. than first israel is to allow security forces to shoot at palestinian protesters who are preparing to march in support of their bid for statehood at the u.n. later this month to live it claims it's trying to prevent bloodshed arming settlers in the west bank for self-defense. across developments there. in some cultures there is a intercom order that they will be as bloody and as violent as the first two

settlers of whom there is some three hundred thousand living in a land that has some two and a half million palestinians in the west bank all bracing themselves for violence as is the israeli army and the israeli police now for several months the israeli army has been preparing in an operation because operation some of the seeds and it's now in the final stages of putting the finishing touches in place to this end we're being told that they have the most hated he's resigned around if we remember in the west bank and what this means is that palestinians who approach further on that red line will be shot at by soldiers who has a mission to do this so now there also has been intensive training in terms of security groups with in these to commence they have been participating in the roles that the army's been undergoing its safety and provided with stun grenades with water cannons as well as with tear gas canisters on saturday we call the largest protest in this country's history one hundred thousand demonstrators took to the streets of ten cities here in tel aviv was one of the focal points

a number of speakers a number of options to address the crowd a spoke about making history they said really that this was a turning point in the history of this country what protesters have been demanding for the basic part of two months is the social issue justice really what they saying is they're going to turn now to government need to be focused on issues of security and focus on internal problems problems such as the high cost of living in this country and this is a criticism that it's and now he is facing a criticism that he is spending too much time on issues on the international agenda and larger than addressing real domestic concerns here at home talking to protesters they accuse netanyahu of being past the hour and was going to vote and have been out of touch with what people in israel are concerned about. the head of nato and says the alliance is. military intervention in libya will not end with the capture of colonel gadhafi on the front line rebel forces are waiting for the green light to crush one of the last remaining pockets of resistance by gadhafi

supporters. ceasefire talks in the town of bani walid on the country's interim government is still hope for a peaceful solution the national transitional council says two of the colonel's sons who had been blocking the surrender of bani walid have now left the area and unclear a number of gadhafi loyalists are holed up in the town fifty kilometers from tripoli and only been given until saturday to lay down arms all of this making a good half his hometown of sirte and several other areas. from ocean reports the battle for. could prove decisive. they've been preparing for this operation for quite a long time with nato helping them clean path towards bombing cities in the area but anyway he has always been known as the stronghold and people from this area since the beginning of this conflict here in libya been fighting against rebels all across the country and have been dying for. all the time in supporting

gadhafi who has provided them with a very good imitation and the past weaponry so that's clear that it will not be easy for travels to take control over these areas while they need is actually darkie host larry has been known and well. not surprisingly remains the country's number one priority is thought to be right now with his sons in this area this is. one more reason to take a little scary ass on this national transitional council has every piece of lead been claiming recently that tripoli is now secure and is now safe and that they're working hard to try. three stores in the country on the territory now controlled technically by the national transitional council that we see on the ground actually

make. it successful so far apart from the humanitarian challenges this country actually is currently facing such as severe shortages shortages of water food medicine and fuel politically situation is very unstable the city is full of people with an unclear agenda many very little knowledge how to use weapons and it's quite unclear who is controlling them . while the situation in libya remains tense russia is building up its relations with the country's new government after recently recognizing the rebels as the legitimate authority in libya what's goes now invited officials for economic talks which are expected to take place this week and keep you posted on what happens there. british prime minister david cameron has called for an inquiry into claims that u.k. intelligence agents extradited terrorist suspects to libya allegations surfaced

after human rights groups in tripoli found documents outlining six and cia rendition programs but former british intelligence officer. told me earlier that she expects the investigation will be brushed under the carpet. when david cameron calls for an inquiry into these allegations he's been critically disingenuous under the u.k. law and the inquiries act two thousand and five any inquiry this is established including this and this torture inquiry headed up by subpoena gets it circumscribed by the very organizations that are being investigated in this case my five and i six so it's going to be toothless plus of course the other consideration with this is that it's a pita gibson himself is heading up this inquiry was actually intelligence services commissioner for five years prior to taking on this role so he's been cozying up to the intelligence services in the u.k. for five years i doubt he's going to unearth anything. perhaps he probably won't shine a bright light on the dark corners should we say he'll be for instance intelligence agencies they will have lost all credibility they have double deals in libya for

decades now and really their chickens are coming home to roost and i can't see how any government that comes into power in libya will trust whatever m i six or the british government now says. ukraine's is now willing to negotiate over gas prices with russia or after the kremlin said it would rigorously the firm we already agreed to an international court foreign minister sergei lavrov met his ukrainian counterpart to talk about g costs after he pushed for a new discount because of struggles in paying the current contract but he's a. small. well certainly over the last seventy two hours it clearly seemed that the temperature in this new gas crisis has reached critical level especially with somewhat sensational the very loud statements made by president bush president of ukraine he plans to sue russia in the international court to have the two thousand and nine desk contracts revised it also was a very stern reply coming from the kremlin the presidential press office sad that

should ukraine decide to take this case into international court in stockholm then russia would be ready to stand its ground and that of the little the international law was only its own russia side believing that russia would have to be true should this law suit a cure now the situation has changed dramatically over the past twenty four hours with the ukrainian prime minister to go as out of saying that until the new price is agreed until the new contract is signed ukraine will be sticking to the current contract and will be fulfilling whole of legations office contract paying up to four hundred u.s. dollars for one thousand cubic meters of russian gas which is the market price and this is the price which ukraine has been pretty much on happy with russia is not as strongly dependent on the ukrainian gas transportation system as it was back in two thousand and nine now we know according to russia's prime minister vladimir putin the north stream pipeline will be launched pretty much so in fact it's a test run will be started to morrow on tuesday and winter stand in the months in

a month's time the european consumers germany in particular will be receiving the gas through the north pipeline does that is something which was not existing in two thousand and nine also when her stand at the south stream pipeline is also going to going to be completed in the near nearest future so this means that the european consumers have nothing to worry about according to all the officials in most gastro mean the russian energy ministry and in the kremlin and we will not see another gas war which would affect the european continent this time around. their patience is rapidly running out at the european central bank with greece being ordered to sharpen its cutting back because of greed and it's playing out the euro zone's yawning gap is widening in the e.c.b. chief wants to give brussels a bigger role and her country's manage their own affairs. bushell is that greece could fail to get its second bailout if it to carry out the terms of its first one

that's according to the european central bank trish a he said it's absolutely imperative to tighten monitoring of countries in the eurozone calling for a single european government to impose economic decisions on countries according to aaa more governors within the eurozone is absolutely essential i mean if you talk to you call them it's here in brussels they're not sure the single single government e.u. bureaucrats making decisions for national economies is the right way to go ahead or even that it will save the euro anyway with growing numbers of people here fearing the single currency maybe a sinking ship between i.m.f. and greek officials are falling apart the e.u. says greece has failed to cut its deficit you also have countries like finland who are resisting any more bailouts until they really understand what's going to going on in these troubled countries not just greece but obviously also portugal and spain where they use given greece a few more weeks to go through with its austerity plan and then you check on the

situation in the country again of course that's raising even more doubts about greece's ability to avoid quitting the euro so it's understandable why investors may be panicking here in europe at the moment. and financial writer peter built he's told me that he believes that the euro zone system is so flawed that even a common economic government will not save the single currency. it may indeed be getting if not too late and certainly very late in the day in order to institute of financial government for europe the system could collapse before it is politically possible to put these sorts of measures in place but at the same time although parliaments if you like don't want europe to collapse there is a growing feeling both within parliaments and also amongst the people who elect parliament and that's true of germany the most pro european all free of all of the countries so there is a certain impatience away in up is it really worth giving up

a sovereignty and b. possibly a lot of money in order to save a system that was falsely designed right from the beginning just certainly a question that parliaments are going to be putting to each other over the next coming months. turner talked actions of the world's other main news right now it's seventeen minutes past the hour here in moscow yemeni warplane has reportedly bombed a mosque in the south that was thought to be occupied by islamic militants killing at least thirty one follows the deaths of seventeen extremists in the strikes in the region insurgents were linked to al-qaeda and took over the city of jar in april amid the ongoing anti-government demonstrations and political crisis in the country. the corruption trial of former president jacques chirac has resumed but the judge says the frail statesman won't have to return the seventy eight year old is charged with embezzlement maher mayor of paris and pain party members for nonexistent jobs which are ex lawyers say he's suffering memory lapses because of

how's this for a fantastic the same this is iconic state university building which was the focus of the capital's eight hundred sixty fourth birthday and certainly got the spectacular show in full. and that was the main news bulletin for this. next four decades america pack in the global economy and out of positions of floundering dragging much of the world down with them not everywhere. here's from india and that interview is coming up very shortly stay with us for that on.

the asean p. downgrade of the united states economy has very many questions about whether or not america will continue to be the powerhouse in the global economy and now the international monetary fund predicts that. well actually outpaced the united states economy by twenty sixteen so how is all of this going to affect the traditional players and what is the impact going to be on the so-called developing world well joining me to help get some answers on all of this is oxford educated economist and the youngest me an advert to had a world bank department he's now the chairman of india's planning commission mr monti exciting ahluwalia i want to thank you so much for joining me so first of all i want to ask you is the fact that wave of the global financial crisis upon us i

think what will happen is markets would be disrupted slightly moderate growth prospects for the carbon in the u.s. and maybe in europe but i don't see this as going back to progeny and so where do we go from here who is going to. fix what's going on in the world right now the world needs to. get together to work out what's the transition what's a reasonable transition in a world in which there would be more than one currency the traditional reserve currency. at the moment in a country which those are not very well balanced microeconomics attrition and is there a sense in india do you think that perhaps there could be a shift in the world order and. india could be somehow gaining from what's going on in washington there is certainly a shift going on in the world there's no doubt about that i mean any medium or long

term projection suggests that japan will go relatively slowly europe may grew a little bit faster going to the u.s. has traditionally been viewed as a very dynamic economy is likely the grew faster in europe but the group through it in these economies would be much less the group through to the emerging market countries i mean try. brazil so i think over time there is a shift in economic politicking place one is to a show and another way of looking at it is really the rising rate of emerging market countries and i think you are thinking of a world in which there would be a large number of relatively equal economic groupings you want to global system that can accommodate that it can't be a global system which is run only by saying well look this is the center of power and everybody else must adjust and it's been said that europe has dominated the air

national monetary fine in your opinion is that part of the problem or at the thought wish i do think that the dominance of the industrialized countries of these two institutions has to change remember that as long as europe and the united states are together they count for almost half the votes in the i.m.f. and the world bank so even if you made a voting system they would be able to get their counted in providing to collaborate with each other but you don't want to system where it's assumed that one organization would be run by one country and the other would always have european and do you personally think that the euro is going to survive the creation of a single currency for europe was a pretty major. step i think is generally recognize that if you want to have

a single currency it needs to be backed by a single fiscal authority now since euro zone is different countries they obviously don't have a single for school follicle but to back a single currency they must have a very shared understanding of who's going to pay the bills if a problem arises that would become a substitute for the single cause i don't think that's been sufficiently clear. i think that in the first flush of for good feeling about the euro there was an assumption that a lot of benefits that come to european countries from having the same currency but not enough appreciation there are cops and obviously you know there is a reshaping of the world economy and if profits happening it's probably going to also cause fundamental political shift as well what do you expect to be from our point of view the rise of a number of emerging market countries will create a much more balance of the world economy amongst countries that were earlier seen

to be dominant it might create a greater awareness that you know they can't unilaterally decide the future of the world and certainly countries that have felt that they were not part of the critical decision making now feeling part of the political decision making i mean just good democratise asian of the group truth how positive effects because it will make these countries behave in a more responsible manner and the last question i want to ask is you know a lot of people are saying that investors are going to perhaps and got more in these emerging markets if they start to look away from u.s. treasury bonds i mean what's the planning commission it's short term prediction for n.p.r. in relation to everything that's going on right now the big message coming out of how the global economy is moving is the industrialised countries are going to grow more slowly whereas the emerging market countries are going to grow faster india's

been growing for the last five years at about eight point two percent anybody who's investing and looking around the world if they find one market is growing a little somewhere between eight and a half or nine percent another mark is very good to know how to swim i mean they would be very well advised to invest in the markets that are growing so we expect on a medium term basis in there were. the authority is and will remain a preferred destination for foreign investment people look at their global portfolio traditionally they've invested too much money in the industrialized world not having anticipated what the consequences of globalization it would be so over time i think they should be rebalancing a little more towards the emerging markets and within that i think india would be a very good bet all it'll certainly be interesting to see how and here's a fact if i allowed that i want to thank you so much for taking the time to talk to me thank you.
