5:05 am
last week euro zone leaders agreed to write off half of the greek debt and had athens more loans and exchange for more austerity measures marco pietra probably a financial advisor at our end wealth management says if a greek spoke against the deal it could signal the end of the eurozone. this may will finally bring it to a head i think the europeans have been you know patching things up and patching things up and it's now getting to the crunch point and the deal that was reached last thursday was was a nothing deal really because it doesn't address the fundamental issues that there is too much sovereign debt in the u.n. it's unsustainable in my view the best the best option for the greeks is to default of course that there is a much bigger financial consequences for the for the rest of europe and for the rest of the world if that happens. if we're talking about what is in the best interest of the greek people then then then as probably the best outcome if a truly great the faults then you have to look at who actually owns the debt and
5:06 am
that's principally owned by other sovereigns by the e.u. and by by the banks and pension funds and the consequences of that is that it would make the financial system the banking system much less stable and the worry is of the snowball effect and how it would take the banks and then other european sovereigns and whether that would then lead to further defaults on a number of sovereign defaults at the same time our website our if you dot com we're asking what you think lies behind the greek prime minister a surprise decision to hold a referendum on the belo deal here's how the four stacks up almost forty percent agree p.m.'s made a wise step of a relation have their say about a move is pure populism in protests and the rest evenly split between whether the decision is a knife in the. address.

well with greece already up to its eyeballs in economic and political turmoil it seems another crisis could be waiting around the corner coming up we report things were an anti immigration sentiment reaching boiling point adding to the existing mood of austerity anger and desperation plus. russian stocks have rebounded from the steepest two day drop in the month as you leave us prepared to tell greece there's no alternative to budget cuts imposed in a bailout plan more in business in ten minutes. but first the interstate aviation committee is due to announce the results of its probe into a deadly plane crash that killed forty four people near the russian city of yaroslavl in september pilot error was initially cited as the most likely cause of that crash a tragedy that wiped out the entire lokomotiv hockey team or it's all you know because the joins us live in moscow with more i want to tell you so we're still waiting for the official findings but why is there already been so much talk of human error. media has been speculating about what could have caused the plane
5:08 am
crash ever since the steps of september when it happened but the rumor has it that the pilot hit the brake shortly after the plane to pull off and that has led to the plane crash however the sole survivor of this tragedy the plane's make contact alexander says little says that he's not sure whether the brake was in gauge because he says he would have felt if the pilot hit the brake after the plane took off and family members of the victims are also questioning this theory already even before the conclusion is made as they say that they do not believe that the pilot was so unprofessional to make such a group can be state and of course the morning will never and for them nor for the city over here is level from. ice hockey team where from nineteen of his team members were actually born there but overall it's a nationwide it's a tragedy of tourists and we're still waiting to hear from the interstate aviation

commit see end just to that end in just about an hour. or two the tile you know that go by with the latest from moscow thanks for that the. u.n. nuclear watchdog says it's discovered a secret facility in northwestern syria that matches the design of uranium enrichment plan fightings every suspicions the syrian government's been trying to produce nuclear weapons for more on this we're joined live trick a reporter for the independent online magazines can join us live from london thanks for being with us so these claims obviously had already huge international pressure on the syrian government is facing today do you think the timing of the i.a.e.a. announcement was coincidental. well i don't think it's coincidental no and i think to some extent it shows just how these kind of institutions which are normally independent from the united nations like the international atomic energy agency basically shows how political they actually are i also think yes this is
5:10 am
a way of keeping more pressure on syria during a time when the uprising to taken place i think it really brings about the worst of both worlds in many way it brings about kind of western intervention but in a very insidious kind of i would say dishonest fashion there basically doing what they did in iraq which is to use the guise of weapons inspections to basically poke their nose into all areas of countries that are seen to be a bit suspicious a bit dodgy all of that on the kind of international sphere they want to appear to be you know the kind of the new bogeyman that they can focus their attention upon and so are you expecting to see an iraq redo leading up to syria with this situation. but i think what's different this time in syria is that there's much less sense of kind of hearing from the west i think the western part far less certain about what they're going to do for all the grandstanding about their intervention in libya it was a you know it was an emotional reaction from the start they didn't have any real
5:11 am
strategy and although they've done a very effective rewriting of history since i don't think it's a great appetites to want to necessarily intervene in to that kind of extent again but what they're trying to do here is he pon the pressure they're trying to find other ways of intervening they're using these kind of tools these kind of arms like the way to basically go in and to start to kind of basically conduct investigations to make you. feel very uncomfortable and hopefully push them towards reforms but i mean i think i think it's really important to stress here is that no one is actually saying that syria is on the verge of developing a nuclear bomb or nuclear missiles what they're expecting at the moment is what is now a cotton spinning plants the question a question that you know their rating is worth of theirs that any kind of history of an attempt to develop or refine plutonium or you very well on this side it's so basically collects the size they're poking their noses in for what i would say
5:12 am
political really appear to be political reasons rather than for any reasons of security concerns at its current time and i think it's very telling that they're choosing to do this at a time when the uprising to taken place is a very insidious faction of trying to deal with countries that they dislike now i would say in some ways these weapons inspections which are becoming increasingly important are becoming almost a modern form of colonial colonialism what you have are wesley countries i'd like to drop in your do you think the i.a.e.a. inspectors presence in the country then will make any difference to the syrian situation currently. i think it will certainly well i mean it puts a spotlight on syria they don't necessarily want to i mean explicitly put the pressure on. in certain ways you know explicitly about what he's doing to repress the syrian people they want to intervene too much in that necessarily directly so yes what they're trying to do is to kind of effectively use other things as kind of
5:13 am
months of fro at the situation to try and actually build up a narrative which they can use should they necessarily want to intervene in the future i mean certainly syria is being recast in this situation as one of the one of the countries that needs to watch you know one of the countries that former for example you axis of evil or something along those lines so i think it only being used for strategic reasons and i briefly one last question aside this government has reportedly agreed in general to a road map designed by the arab league to stop the bloodshed do you see that plan eventually working. i think the only thing that will really work is actually if the syrian people are left alone without any western intervention without any of their of their lackeys all kind of bodies like the international atomic energy agency poking their nose in and it's left to the syrian people
5:14 am
basically decide what they want to do and determine their own future is for the syrian people to overthrow not for the western governments to come in and offer any kind of you know kind of advice push for reforms they should have no business there they should back off and let the syrian people determine their own future because it's only when with the interference doesn't take place the people are actually really able to make their own history and really i think the more the west into being small are sad if it is oriented towards trying to appease the west or making reforms because of the pressure that they're putting on rather than the pressure that the libyan syrian people are putting upon him then i think the further we gets from the syrian people being able to determine their own history right after leave it there patrick a reporter for our own magazines live in the thank you thank you. turning now to libya where a newly elected prime minister says protecting human rights will be at the top of
5:15 am
his government's agenda but his statement contrasts activists claims that n.g.c. fighters are terrorizing displaced residents of the coastal towns loyal to gadhafi for abrahams from human rights watch those current atrocities are being downplayed by the libyan government and sunny countries. but in some places the violence is quite bad the town we looked out in was called told and the the militias from the neighboring town of misrata are terrorizing the people of to where they accuse them of having fought for qaddafi and you know the problem here is that the militias are not under the control of the political authorities the civilian authorities and vats the big challenge for libya going forward is bringing the many militias under a unified civilian command the problem is that the many militias hundreds of militias sometimes from just a neighborhood have any weapons now and they say look we fought we lost comrades in
5:16 am
this battle and now we want to have a stake or a seat at the table and bringing them under control will be difficult there's definitely a trend to say we did the right thing meaning nato governments they want to say that this was a successful operation so there is a tendency to downplay the conflicts and the tensions now but at the same time in our discussions with them of some of these governments they're taking them very seriously because they know that this will cause problems in the future they want them addressed now trying to support the more open minded and democratic minded forces within the new authorities and to move libya in the right direction so there is concern and i think that the governments are nervous about this these tensions the revenge and they're trying to take steps to to quell it. dick cheney will continue examining the role of foreign intervention in the arab
