currently locked in talks ahead of a vote on a resolution on syria this follows weeks of debate over whether to impose sanctions against a bashar al assad's regime for more details let's now cross live to our correspondent . who is in new york for us now maria if you could bring us up to date on what's happening there at the security council. well security council members are now meeting at the united nations to discuss and ultimately vote on this resolution from what we are being told the resolution would condemn syrian president bashar al assad's six month crackdown on anti-government protesters and the current resolution would reportedly also lead to measures against assad if he did not respond with the thirty days on instructions on how he plans to end the violence and impose reforms in his country now of course this is a push that the u.s.

and western european countries have been making within the united nations for quite some time we do know that the u.s. and turkey and some other european countries have imposed their own saying against syria but western powers are really trying to send a message on an international platform that for being the u.n. security council we do know that russia has spoken out over and over again against and it's sanctions against syria saying that both sides need to sit down and negotiate with one another that if sanctions are imposed on only one side that means that the international community would be supporting the movement of the opposition and it would be better off of course for for for the international community to try to get both sides to come together this of course coming nearly six months after these protests have began in syria anti-government protesters taking to the. calling for an end to president assad's eleven although we have been

reading reports and as our viewers know that there's been reports that anywhere between fourteen hundred twenty seven hundred people have been killed since all the violence has broken out the international community of course working on a way to resolve it but we have to wait and see if this resolution will pave the way for that and if it will be supported. we know that russia has opposed against damascus in the past has moscow's position changed or has the u.n. moved their position a little bit. well position has not changed as a matter of fact there have been reports that indicate that russian officials say that they will not support this european draft u.n. resolution that will be voted on today calling it an acceptable and that's because the text has refused to the opens the door for punitive

punitive sanctions against syria within the language i guess it may be a loophole or something and not something russia does not support it doesn't want there to be any door open for sanctions because russia believes as i just. mentioned that both sides need to come together for a political dialogue this is something that was even mentioned to the syrian opposition delegation when they came to visit moscow that both sides should come together the international community should not be taking sides russia also wanted a clause in this resolution to not only. the syrian government for the violence but also condemn the protesters so what would be more fair and balanced and that is something that france for example says it is categorically against so right now it is not clear whether russia will use its veto or whether russia will abstain for voting that could allow the resolution just. we'll be adopted if china for example

doesn't feel so either but that's what we're waiting on to see if this resolution ultimately gets adopted what it includes and how the international community is going to move forward so course we're following that story we'll keep you up to date as soon as more information becomes available all right thank you marina it's going to be certainly interesting as this plays out that was our reporting from new york you have. eurozone finance ministers have once again delayed a decision on whether to give greece its next tranche of bailout cash this time it will have to wait until mid november it comes as greece has admitted it won't meet a huge deficit deadlines despite crippling cuts however the country's finance minister says the nation can wait another month for a rescue package. reports from athens. it's been here almost entirely square that 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 sturdy 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 there throughout 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 tell me a little may never touch in the salary for a 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 played a trick would it take care in the country that may be trying to hammer out the details of that now it has to be said the at this stage it will be only should you get that money because that would be felt. bad for greece at this point is also

bad for the rest of the eurozone countries and indeed the global economy that is that it this would have a separate knock on the sides 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 in t. here in athens they said that we've seen these job losses we've seen the cuts in wages and pensions of 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 based solution to plug the big deficit in the budget so there are concerns really about the practicalities of any of these measures having. and he also talked about the possibility. and as we said still a lot of public anger people feel that their lives are being put in a situation simply untenable that they can live with.

big concerns about whether you're going to be able to pull the country out of the situation. reporting for us now despite ongoing rumors that euro finance ministers have rejected the possibility greece will default on its loans but investment advisor patrick young needs to leave the single currency if it wants to save its economy. the european union are trying to take 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 an awful for the sovereignty of greece the european union is too slow to get there's too little leadership and there is a pig headed in trying to germans particularly amongst the finance ministers but this specially amongst the leaders of the european union ations 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 contagion that is going to kill the euro by the end of the year if we don't see positive and rapid auction realistically that 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 a troika of international lenders. and still to come this hour a decade after the u.s. invasion of afghanistan. the top u.s. commander in the country is says american forces are not leaving anytime soon despite the two thousand and fourteen the withdrawal deadline find out his reasons why also. tit for tat china slammed the u.s. in the senate debate on ways to punish beijing for under valuing its currency and taking away american jobs of the details are coming up. libya's new leaders have

spoke to the author. who's written extensively on afghanistan he told r.t. the situation there has been getting worse. 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 she and dad in the in the west perhaps to watch.

the economic crisis that is global at this point and i think that it's very true that this the epicenter of the crisis is in europe but nonetheless really the united states the reason that you know it's a huge trade deficit not just with china but with ninety other countries is because the private sector savings level is low and if the u.s. wants to address the problem of deficits that is trade deficit and really needs to look at creating policies that raise private sector savings time now to take a look at some news making headlines around the world for you this hour. a helicopter with five on board has plunged into the east river in new york with one woman confirmed dead and two other people seriously injured the privately owned aircraft is said to have spun out of control before crashing near midtown manhattan shortly after takeoff unconfirmed reports say the passengers were tourists from the u.k. . a huge car bomb has exploded outside

we speak to senior. emmanuel who believes that the real take place in the next few years.

thank you very much for being with us sir. exactly two years ago you told me that the real economic crash is still a couple of the line is that with us right now. you 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 the european union 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 emerging brazil india china are also in trouble so i don't see anybody who isn't in trouble so i peer saying the global system clearly broken what is wrong with modern capitalism that's a 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 out of place. and of course you can have two very different kinds of you should replace it. well i would like a more relatively democratic more relative big terry and 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 the act but you can do that in many other ways some of which maybe fall worse than capitalism so that's the way i see of the political struggle that's technically called. a system so. capitalistic capitalism system is directly

linked to. 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. 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 predictability 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 and they're right they don't have too much choice the options are few said we are and. we have no choice but to be in it but do you see a way out well it's a question of a way we view what happens in a 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 this interview. it was created to serve public interests. and to entertain. these days there's nothing in opening a new media outlet but there is nothing then revoking its license in case of corruption. involved in a community where you have one large corporation controlling the deal the newspaper

radio station. television stations the cable outlet told me that the. public opinion versus f.c.c. . blues. culture is that so much of me is going to make a lot of people are going to look at days is the global economy on the brink of a double dip recession if so why can't the rich west find the right mix of fiscal. wealthy british style the stock. market. what's really happening to the global economy. there are no holds barred the global financial headlines kaiser reports.
