syria well this follows weeks of debate over whether to impose sanctions against bashar al assad's regime but for more details us now our correspondent. who is in new york for us can you please just bring us up to date on what's happening there at the security council. well as you mentioned at this point all fifteen members of the security council are in a meeting discussing the final text to this resolution that will be voted on in the next few hours or so this is a long time coming all the countries have been working on finding text that may or may not reach compromise among the fifteen security council members now let's remind our viewers that the protests in syria began back in march reportedly twenty seven hundred people have been killed since then according to some reports u.s. and other countries have independently imposed sanctions against syria against

president bashar al assad but all this time russia is one of the countries of the security council that has been having more negotiations russia has said it would not support any text in the resolution that leaves the door open for saying so at this point western powers are for sure trying to punish the syrian regime and that's a process that's taken up taken us up until today to a resolution that we will see the countries of vote on in the next few hours well as you mentioned earlier we know that russia has opposed against a mask is there anything more you can elaborate on what moscow is saying currently about what the talks is going on right now in its current position. well russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has repeatedly said over and over again that russia supports continued negotiation and dialogue not a move that would be seen as a provocation to. inflame matters in syria russia is not the only country in the

security council that is pioneering this position now and many security council members do not want to see syria turn into libya two point zero we do know that after the security council adopted a no fly zone resolution calling for a nose fly zone over libya that's when we saw the western european countries and the united states begin a military campaign into libya that continues through to today and that's why we do see some countries such as russia saying that there's not going to be a two point libya two point zero taking place in syria now if this resolution does not leave the door open for sanctions maybe we will see russia support it maybe not it's not clear yet whether russia is going to support it or abstain. from voting on this resolution in order for this resolution to be adopted nine of the fifteen security council members would have to support it no vetoes so that means

if russia or china were to cast a veto it would not be adopted and of course we will be standing by to follow all the developments that are taking place right now out of the nation's certainly we well that was our reporting there from new york thanks again. well across the atlantic greece has once again have been left hanging at this time until mid november eurozone ministers of push back a decision over more bailout cash will athens has admitted it won't meet deficit deadlines despite crippling cuts but the greek finance minister has said that the nation can wait another month for rescue. reports now from the a sturdy capital athens. it's been here almost entirely missed where the the most dramatic side of this economic crisis in greece has been played out as time and again we've seen people turning up outside the parliament building to protest against the seville stares the measures that they say simply untenable we find

ourselves back in a position where people now are really asking just waltz has been achieved by implementing these astaire's he measures the quick government has committed that it won't be able to me as tough deficit reduction targets not sent to the whole year you say really about what the implications of that will be the greek government have also brings a measure to put thirty thousand civil servants. settlement of the dutch in in the salary per year. at the end of the year the possibility of dismissal there are great points where do you think that that. really in hearing needed if the country were to stay if labor troika quoted to care in the country that may be trying to hammer out the details of that now it has to be said that at this stage it will be only should you get that money because. that could be felt almost immediately to greece at this point is also about the rest of the eurozone

countries and indeed the global economy that is that it this would have a separate not a lot of factors but people are really asking now whether the euro is a need is it going to be able to come up with willis tick solutions to get the country out of the situation that has been criticism from some of the analysts we spoke into here in athens they said that we've seen these job losses we've seen the cuts in wages and pensions that these are people who no longer be able to pay cuts to people who are struggling to pay the taxes and yet the government still seem to be subtlest touch they solution to plug the big deficit in the budget so there are concerns really about the practicalities of any of these measures having. any effect will also talk about the possibility of default and as we said still a lot of public anger at the people here he feels that their lives are being put in a situation that is simply untenable that they can't live with so against the more that strike action that we've seen so much of

a over the last year or so happening against my big concerns willy about whether you're its own leaders are going to be able to pull the country out of the situation or the spite on going rumors the euro finance ministers have rejected the possibility that greece will default on its wires but investment adviser patrick young says our plans needs to remove the single currency if it wants to save its economy the european union are trying to tick fiscal control of greece because they think that's the only way they can actually control the crisis essentially what is being fought at the moment is a battle for the sovereignty of greece the european union is too slow going there is too little leadership and there is a pig headed intransigent particularly amongst the finance ministers but they're specially amongst the leaders of the european union asians in terms of understanding that they needed to move a lot faster on this crisis they still need to move much faster and ultimately time is running out because greece is leading the contingent that is going to kill the

euro rule by the end of the year if we don't see positive and rough production realistically about our action means that greece needs to leave the euro because the problem is we cannot leave citizens of the european union to starve to death because it suits the troika of international lenders. well still ahead for you this hour will they say all go u.s. commander in afghanistan has promised that american forces will be there for decades to come despite a twenty fourteen deadline for troops to be withdrawn. and tit for tat china slams the u.s. senate debate on ways to punish beijing for under valuing its currency and taking away american jobs all the details are coming up. now libya's new rulers have named a new cabinet to govern the country until it's fully secured the national transitional council now controls most of the country but there are still pockets of heavy

resistance well after a two day ceasefire to allow residents to leave and to get off the troops continue with parts of his besieged hometown of sirte the red cross is warning of a humanitarian crisis as the town runs out of essential supplies here a spokesperson for the organization who visited the region says that the situation there remains dire. we managed to get in the hospital and spend a few hours to check on the hospital however the security situation did not allow us to move inside the town and see the situation of the civilians we managed to talk to the presented to us of the civilians to understand the situation they talk about lack of food lack of for sure there is no electricity there is a lack of fuel in the city and there is very difficult access to medical care and no i've been same time while talking to families going out of the city of sirte i have been on the eastern side where i've talked to families displaced to desert out

on third or to villages like other surrounding villages and my colleagues from the west as well are looking at the internally displaced families these people as well are living in difficult conditions because they are you know they are leaving just their houses to feed the ongoing fighting in the city of sirte and they are being displaced into the desert hide living in hide difficult conditions and having no access to medical care and no potable water we have been calling upon all parties to the conflict despair as much as possible to civilian people and to always distinguish between military and civilian targets. the top u.s. commander in afghanistan is promised that american forces will stay in the region for a long time twenty fourteen was set us the deadline to withdraw some of ninety thousand troops currently deployed in the country well earlier we spoke to gerry van dyke who's written extensively on afghanistan and pakistan and he told r.t. the us has a wider goal and is not likely to leave anytime soon. there are many reasons why

the united states and its allies but particular united states will stay in afghanistan and the first of all is that the war is getting worse or more i e.d.'s according to the un that is to say mines have gone off in the last few months and only four more u.s. soldiers and marines are dying there more casualties civilian and military than any time in the ten years since foreign forces have been in afghanistan and also the afghan national army and its police forces are not ready to take over you have a twenty four percent desertion rate in the afghan national army now the united states is letting contracts to american contractors to build barracks in various air bases around the country and shinned out in the in the west perhaps to watch for air flights over iran in mazar e sharif in the north to perhaps watch former soviet central asian republics in kandahar in the southeast perhaps watch pakistan the united states does not have

any intention i do not believe to leave in the short term there are many who feel that they have to surround iran perhaps soft containment of china nato and its allies i don't think are ready to leave this very volatile region united states does not want pakistan to try and make afghanistan a satellite it's a very complicated very dangerous area and i do think that u.s. forces will be there for a very long time and you can find more on all our stories that are dot com and here's a look at what else we have online for you right now israeli aggression found says new u.n. statistics show one allotting rise in the amount of anti palestinian violence in the occupied areas of gaza and the west back more on that story line. and a clash of the titans two russian tycoons go head to head in court this week as former media mogul but it's but it's chelsea football club owner roman album over for more than five dollars. find out why our teeth dot com.

china has slammed a u.s. senate debate on ways to punish beijing for under valuing its currency and taking away american jobs well it would allow the government to impose duties on products from countries with specific currencies and china has told the u.s. to abandon protectionism and stop politicizing economic issues while journalist edward harrison says america is just trying to spread the blame for the global economic crisis to other countries well the reason to bring it up now is to show that the. government has done enough in order to create a self-sustaining recovery therefore the problem must be elsewhere that is the problem us being europe it must be charted elsewhere it's not because of our policy

in the field. that's really what. the us government policy adopted successful and as a result they are looking for other places to play the way you share the blame for the economic crisis that is global or that i think that it's very true that the epicenter of the crisis is in but nonetheless. the united states that you are completely made up of not just china ninety other. private sector a lot. of us want to address the problem of deficit that if you're a deputy you really need to look at creating policies that raise private sector savings. well let's have a quick look at some world news in brief this hour a huge car bomb has exploded outside a government. building in the somali capital mogadishu killing at least seventy and

wounding dozens the explosion went off near the ministry of education where students were reportedly sitting in a foreign scholarship exam i witness is say an unidentified field goal was used to carry out the attack. insurgents which have links to al qaida said they were behind us salt. the family of murdered british student meredith kercher say once again that they have no answers as to how she died well that's after an italian court cleared american amanda knox of murdering kirshner in two thousand and seven should already served four years in jail when her appeal was accepted on monday the judge ruled that evidence of sexual assault and murder was unreliable and overturned the original guilty verdict. now in southwestern pakistan gunmen on motorbikes have executed twelve people and injured seven mostly shiite muslims they stopped at last the people off made them stand in the line and then opened fire sunni militants

teeth. about the news it looks tonight now as the u.s. and the euro zone to continue to struggle financially the worst could be yet to come next we speak to senior scholar at yale university emmanuel wallerstein who believes the real crash will take place in the next few years that interview next.

thank you very much for being with us today. exactly two years ago you told me that the real economic crash is still a couple down the line is that with us right now. i know it's a year or two still down the line but it's but it's very clearly what was the biggest trouble at this point the united states. just the rest of the world. actually everybody's in trouble but the united states is clearly in trouble the european union is in trouble i think it's in less trouble than the united states but it's in trouble but i eat i think also that the so-called newly emerging countries or the emergent countries brazil india china are also in trouble so i

don't see anybody who isn't in trouble so like you're saying the global financial system clearly broken what is wrong with modern capitalism i'm not so very long story but i mean modern capitalism has in my view but that's a long story reach the end of its rope. it cannot survive as a system and what we are seeing is the structural crisis of the system so the structural crisis goes on for a long time it really started in my view more or less in the one nine hundred seventy s. it will go on for another twenty thirty forty years it's not a crisis of a year or of a short moment it's a major structural unfolding of a system and we're in transition to another system and in fact the real political struggle that's going on in the world though most people refuse to recognize. it's not about capitalism should we have it or should we not have

a place. and of course you can have two very different kinds of views more should replace it. well i would like a more relatively democratic more relative big terry and more that's one view we've never had that the world. hates possible. view is that you have a very. polarizing exploitive system doesn't have to be capitalism capitalism is that but you can do that many other ways some of which may be for worse than capitalism so that's the way i see the political struggle that's technically called a bifurcation. of a system so bifurcation capitalistic capitalism system is directly linked. yes its roots are in many ways the impossibility of

continuing the basic principle of capitalism which is. ceaseless accumulation of capital. and that's the whole point of capitalism as a system and it's it's worked in some ways marvelously well for five hundred years it's been a extremely successful system and what it has tried to do it has undone itself as all systems do but is it dangerous all this social economic and it's an enormously dangerous what are the pros and cons if you mean is it dangerous to you and to me yes it's extremely dangerous to you and to me. in fact. one of my books i called it hell on earth it's a system in which everything is relatively in short term unpredictable and people can live with unpredictability in the short run and lives. in the long run

we cannot trust but if you don't know what's going to happen the next day or the next year then you don't know what to do and you get paralyzed and that's basically what we're seeing in the world economy right now is a paralysis nobody's investing really because they're not sure that three years from now they'll get their money back so when you're not sure three years from now you get your money back you don't invest and if you don't invest that makes the situation even worse but people don't feel they don't have much choice they're right they don't have too much choice the options are few said we are. we have no choice but to be in it but a way out well it's not a question of a way out we obviously what happens in the bifurcation at some point. till we get into a new relatively stable situation the crisis is over. but we don't know which one

it will be. thank you very much for the. wealthy british style the stock. market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines kaiser reports. it was created to serve. public interests to inform and to entertain.
