i'm john thomas glad to have you with us syrian security forces are launched their biggest sweep against anti-government protesters trying to flee turkey it comes as human rights organizations claim thousands have been rounded up and hundreds killed in the last month alone meanwhile russia is rallying members of the un security council to encourage the sides to stop violence and start negotiations but the u.s. and its western european allies are pushing for action against president assad's regime which they've already sanctioned french political analyst land believes that there's an underlying motive in calls for protecting syrian civilians. sanctions in general did not work because countries always find ways to go down that sanctions and song sanctions would suddenly look to the time we go on with reduction of oil. they would be banning of importation so it's not quite logical and most probably syria would find different outlets school. it's ideal in every single one of these

situations because every time that the west or other countries talk about humanitarian intervention the question that needs to be asked is why there is that dimension in some countries but not in others for example in bahrain that people want to get rid of their regime budge since it was so closely us there is no question of humanitarian intervention and there is no question of them french it is saudi arabia no question of intervention to help it that is so the humanitarian question cannot be deep last political and economic question and you have to find that political and economic and military interests before you start believing in it she manager and reasons as most in all so-called interventions humanitarian interventions there is another reason which is far more important. while syria as a struggle drags arnold see how it's been impacting on the people of the stricken country what is it in a god who is there and has been meeting those at the sharp end of the satan's. now

dealer is a master barber the small his shop was forcing until it all ended in a snip. many customers would come from was forest when the kilometers away from damascus but now the flow has calmed down a lot first came the unrest then the crackdown then the worst quickly stepped in with sanctions of the economic pressure on the cheap the political. talk about trying to help the people of syria to achieve some adjustment aspiration i first of 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 the e.u. when the us are tightening their grip by imposing all embargo on damascus so will that have any probable impact on the people here. or sanctions will have

a negative effect on the syrian economy it's a diversified economy with a stable debt which gives it a certain immunity against the 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. government have chosen their path and no matter what measures are taken against them to continue down that route. sanctions are sold as a precise weapon to hit the regime where it hurts but syrian alast say they're too blunt a tool and it's the people who will suffer the most when you are talking about the oil or busines or. what we call it it would be on my life as a serious of prison. but while 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 r t damascus syria.

coming up shortly events in libya. stay with us it's a check what's happening in the country divided with both sides and ready to fight to the bitter end. plus europe's of financial bosses tighten their grip on greece demanding it sticks out to its bailout deal. israeli security forces are given clearance to shoot promise to me and protesters preparing to march in support of their bid for state recognition to leave has also armed settlers in the west bank claiming the need for self-defense or he has the details. in some quarters there is talk of a into florida that some will say will be as bloody and as violent as the two seculars of whom there is some four hundred thousand living in a land that has some two and a half million palestinians in the west bank are bracing themselves for violence as is the israeli army and the israeli police and not for several months the israeli

army has been preparing in an operation it calls operation some is 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 is resigned around it we think i'm in the way thank you what's nice is that palestinians can approach. will be shot at by soldiers who has a mission to do this so now they're also has been intensive training in terms of security groups within the system as they have been participating in drills that the army's been undergoing say scene provided with stun grenades with water cannons as well as with tear gas canisters on saturday we saw the largest protest in this country's history with 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 artists address the crowd they spoke about making history they said really that this was a turning point in the history of this country not protesters have been demanding

for the basic part of two months is the social issue just is really what they're saying is that in the turnout who government needs to be committed focus 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 needs and now he is facing a criticism that he is going to get too much time on issues on the international agenda rather than addressing real domestic concerns here at home talking to voters as they accuse netanyahu of being path of being responsible and of being out of touch with what people in israel are concerned about. the head of nato says the. his 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 supporters rebel negotiators cease fire talks in the town of bani walid have broken down the country's interim government is

certain there's still hope for a peaceful solution the national transitional council says two of the colonel's sons who have been blocking the surrender of bani walid have now fled the area unclear number of gadhafi loyalists are holed up in the town of one hundred fifty kilometers from tripoli earlier been given until saturday. but more loyalists are making a stand in his hometown of syria several other. artes near for notion of reports the battle for bani walid could prove decisive. they've been preparing for this operation for quite a long time with nato helping them clean catch towards. the cities in the area anyway lead has always been known as. stronghold and people from this area have 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 has provided them with very good. weaponry so that's clear that's

easy for the rebels to take control of a nice area while they need is actually could be. has been known and well. not surprisingly remains trees number one priority is thought to be right now with his sons in this area and this is. one more reason to take. the national transitional council has every piece of lead been claiming recently that is now secure and is now safe and. they're working hard to try to restore the country on the territory now controlled technically by the national transitional council that we see on the ground actually makes as. they say they are successful so far apart from the humanitarian challenges this

country it's too easy entry facing such as severe shortages shortages of water food medicine and fuel politically situation is very unstable the sea is full of people with unclear. many of them very young with little knowledge of how to use weapons and it's quite unclear who is controlling them. british prime minister david cameron has called for an inquiry into claims that u.k. intelligence agents extradited terror suspects to libya the allegations surfaced after human rights groups in tripoli found a document outlining m i six and brandishing programs but former british intelligence officer. expects the investigation will be brushed under the carpet. when david cameron calls for an inquiry into these allegations he's been incredibly disingenuous under the u.k. law i think quire is act two thousand and five any inquiry this is established

including this in this torture inquiry headed up by subpoena gibson is circumscribed by the very organizations that are being investigated in this case m i five and i six so it's going to be toothless plus of course the other consideration with this is that subpoena keeps 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 if he's going to unearth anything deliberately perhaps he would probably want shining bright lights in the dark corners should he 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 comes into power in libya will trust whatever m i six or the british government now says. ukraine's now willing to negotiate over gas prices with russia the kremlin said it would rigorously defend the already agreed deal in international courts foreign minister sergei lavrov made

his ukrainian counterpart energy costs push for a new discount because of struggles in paying record contract. well certainly over the past seventy two hours it clearly seems that the temperature in this new gas crisis has reached critical level especially with somewhat sensational 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 gas contracts revised it also was a very stern reply coming from the kremlin the presidential press office said 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 law the international law was on its own russia side believing that russia would achieve victory should this lawsuit occur now the situation has changed dramatically over the past twenty four hours with the ukrainian prime minister nicolas out of saying that until the new

price he's agreed until the new contract is signed the ukraine will be sticking to the current contract and will be fulfilling whole of legations 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 that 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 standouts in the months in a month's time european consumers germany in particular will be receiving the gas through the north stream pipeline does that is something which was not existing in two thousand and nine also i understand that the south stream pipeline is also going to be going to be completed in the new risk you share so this means that the european consumers have nothing to worry about according to all the officials in mosul in

gastro in 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 the european central bank is proposing that brussels takes more control over how euro zone countries manage their financial affairs this comes amid renewed concerns about the state of the greek economy and its inability to cut spending. reports. 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 chief trish a he said it's absolutely imperative to tighten the monitoring of countries in the euro 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 here in brussels they're not sure the single single government you 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 the greek officials have fallen 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 else going on in these troubled countries not just greece but obviously also portugal and spain they use given greece a few more weeks to go through there it's a plan check on the situation in that 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. financial writer peter builder believes that the euro zone system is so flawed that even a common economic government won't save the single currency. it may indeed be getting if not too late and certainly very late in the day in order to institute

a 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 are left parliaments and that's true of germany the most pro european or all three of all of the countries so there is a certain impatience away not 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 it is certainly a question that parliaments are going to be putting to each other over the next coming months. some of the world's other main news for you right now. iran has proposed allowing full supervision of its nuclear program by the un's nuclear

agency but the concession will only come if sanctions are lifted earlier the u.n. nuclear watchdog the i.a.e.a. accused the islamic republic of failing to cooperate with inspectors to iran is that the subject of four sets of sanctions over its refusal to suspend enrichment amid fears it seeks to build a nuclear bomb the country insists its nuclear program is peaceful. the corruption trial of former president jacques chirac has resumed but the judge says a frail statesman won't have to attend the seventy eight year old is charged with embezzlement while mayor of paris and it paid pain party members for a nonexistent jobs trucks lawyers say he's suffering memory lapses because of his failing health he's the first french president to face trial since the second world war and could get ten years in jail and one hundred fifty thousand euro fine if convicted. a twenty six kilometer wide wildfire swept across texas on

india that interview is coming up shortly. the asson p. downgrade of the united states economy has varies in 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 china will actually outpace the united states economy by twenty sixteen so how is all of this panel about the traditional players and what is the impact it 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 sing ahluwalia i want to thank you so much for joining me so first of all i want to ask you is the second wave of the global financial crisis upon us i think what will happen is markets would be disrupted slightly moderate growth prospects for the card in the u.s. and maybe in europe but i don't see this as going back to thousand and eight and so where do we go from here who's 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 word in which there would be more than one currency the traditional reserve currency. of the moment is in a country which goes in a very well balanced situation 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 for a long term projection suggests that japan will go relatively slowly europe may grew a little bit foster good in japan. the u.s. has traditionally been viewed as a very dynamic economy is likely to grow faster in europe part of the growth rate

in these economies will be much less than the growth rate in emerging market countries i mean china india brazil so i think over time there is a shift in economic politicking place one is to asia and another way of looking at it is really the rising rate of emerging market countries but i think you're thinking of a world in which there would be a large number of relatively equal economic groupings and you want to global system that can accommodate that if it can't be a global system which is run only by saying well look this is the center of pollen everybody else must adjust and it's been fed that europe have dominated the air national monetary fund in your opinion and that part of a problem or at a 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 account for almost half the votes in the i.m.f. and the world bank so even if you needed a voting system they would be able to get their candidates in providing to collaborate with each other but you don't want to system where it's assumed that one organization will be run by one country and the other will always have a european and do you personally think that a euro is going to survive the creation of a single currency for europe was a pretty major and a bold 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 fiscal authority but to. back to single currency they must have a very shared understanding of who's going to pay the bills if

a problem arises that will become a substitute for the single cause i don't think that's been sufficiently clear i think in the first flush of. good feeling about the euro there was an assumption that there are a lot of benefits that come to european countries from having the same currency but not enough appreciation there are costs and obviously you know there is reshaping of the world economy and that's happening that's probably going to also 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 earlier felt that they were not part of the political decision making now feeling part of the critical decision making i mean

those good democratize asian of the blue truth have 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 invest more in the of emerging market if they start to look away from u.s. treasury bonds i mean what's the planning commission short term predictions for india in relation to everything that's going on right now the big message coming out of how the global economy is moving is that the industrialized countries are going to grow more grew 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 and you know between somewhere. treated in the hall for nine percent another mark is a good two and

a half percent i mean they would be very well advised to invest in the markets that are growing so expect on a medium term basis that india would be at already is and will remain preferred destination for foreign investment people look at their global portfolio traditionally they've invested too much money in the industrialized world not having anticipate what the consequences of globalization would be so over time i think they should be rebalancing a little more towards the emerging markets and within that i think in there would be a very good at all at all certainly be interesting to see how the fact that i want to thank you so much for taking the time to talk to me thank you.
