than a peaceful solution to the unrest that's according to the kremlin now russia's foreign minister says western countries are trying to stir up syria's opposition to topple president bashar al assad the speaker all of a now has details. circular for all of us said in a statement expressing russia's dismay at the decision to suspend syria from the arab league he said thus with russia's help and advice president assad has been implementing the reforms that were put forward by the arab league in a meeting on the second of november a peace deal a deal to try and broker peace in the in the syrian conflict now. said he left office said this the decision to suspend syria from the arab league is counterproductive to a peace deal saying that the this decision really sends a message to the syrian opposition to to continue fighting against president assad's on the pro government forces in syria not getting them to the table to

discuss a peaceful resolution to this now russia has tried to mediate in the past and has offered its services members representatives from both the syrian leadership and the syrian opposition have been here in moscow for talks and in fact in the next couple of days a senior syrian opposition member will be here in the russian capital for further talks to try to bring about that peaceful solution on wednesday we're expecting to see that rubber stamp on the decision to suspend syria from the arab league now the last nation to be suspended from the arab league was libya of course stuff that is altered in the outside military intervention something that russia again was opposed to any military intervention that went far beyond the parameters that were laid out in u.n. resolutions when it came to the chance of imposing a u.n. resolution on syria russia looking at sishen from going through we're also seeing

the reaction from the syrian people tens of thousands out on the streets of damascus across syria protesting against this decision to suspend syria from the arab league they want to find a peaceful. to put an end to this conflict that's going on for eight months knows an estimated three thousand five hundred people being killed during it all has put all of our reporting right there well let's get some more perspective on this from beirut based political analyst a comment was me thank you for coming on the program today the e.u. was just slapped additional sanctions on damascus on monday how effective all these measures are is there a limit to how far they can actually go well obviously the situation is going into escalation and this is the western will pose its will on the syrian people and on the syrian government we can see that the west led by the united states where they are you will be given the orders i don't believe to

suspend its membership and go with that escalation against syria that american has lost iraq after they've but trillions of dollars they know of the of the middle east as not go and do it their way they want to do anything to change the regime in syria and that's why with the fear of the persian gulf playing a very crucial role they become the puppet of the united states as you say so i'm sorry i interrupted you you mentioned all about the american led west going for regime change in syria but with the arab league turning against him ask is does that signify a split in the arab world as well or has it become perhaps a bit more united. well obviously when we talk about the arab league we're talking about the burgeoning gulf country you which actually maintain bases for the

american they maintain the power of the american in the region as far as the other countries egypt does not really count because it's going into. for some reason wasn't taken position and iraq obviously abstained but there are against what happened. i think what happened there that are pretty surprised a lot of countries they don't want to go very far but i think qatar. muscle its way through that meeting and impose that western well against what is taking place the order came from the united states when the president of the united states and its administration tell the opposition not to lay their lay down their arms and continue to shoot syrian army this is a country that respect actually supposed to respect that international law and the opposition to go and shoot an army the policeman of the syrian and to continue.

i mean i do say i see what you say there are two sides here both are armed here you've got you've got the government forces you've also got protesters who are who according to some reports getting a weapons funneled across the border from places for example like turkey but if i may just move on here islamist forces i mean let me start if i may we're running very very long time here islamist forces have been able to bolster their positions in post revolution. egypt and libya how dangerous is that trend and it is it now spreading to syria. well obviously syria is much different then the libya tunisia and the rest of the country syria is determined and capable of defending itself and has has the power and has the alliance with the resistance to continue and defend its territory it's a miscalculation on the west and on the country to continue with that roy it's counterproductive and would backfire and i think they should to recalculate and

help the syrian but it comes difference and not the instigate that what instigate more difference between syria and now you bring up the issue of the west's involvement here and i thought you brought it up several times repeatedly here but if i may for a moment we've had some analysts and reports suggest that the powers in the region the neighbors to syria would also be interested in regime change they could there be some sort of power play going on in the region regardless of the western influence here. well there is a need for reform in syria and the president of syria i said he is for reform and he wanted to have reform within his country not a change of regime but a modification for for the constitution and i think this is a task president assad took it upon himself and that's been accepted and actually been reinforced by

a lot of people within his country. but here the other the other side i think it doesn't doesn't really the gulf in the gulf country they're not looking. because they don't have one and the united states cannot talk about democracy because there are there there is there are crimes in iraq another part of the words still visible so here what we look at the west is interesting in maintaining its interest and keeping the balance in check they lost iraq they want to compensate for it in syria and that's not new from a long time i go and now it's actually pushing up to play their dirty role all right her life from beirut a political analyst kamel lost many things. you with r t it's so good to have your company today still ahead for you this hour a divided europe it's not in the best interest of the germans to keep going with

this attitude you have behaved badly we're going to punish that's not a union government takeover in italy and greece some question whether the interests of ordinary people. and the books. tough military style discipline will soon be introduced in schools to straighten out unruly pupils but a new front opened in the debate with a warning it's a step too far. only ten minutes past the hour now here in moscow this year's asia pacific economic cooperation summit in hawaii has are wrapped up after the twenty one member nations did make some breakthroughs that includes a pledge to work towards a panic pacific free trade zone and to put in place precautions against the risks facing the global economy dimitry president obama discussed russia's accession to the w t o the world trade organization by next summer the same time the u.s. turned up the heat on its biggest economic rival that of china as our correspondent

. discovered the smiles and handshakes for the cameras did not tell the full story . there is a tradition at a park summits where leaders get together and where national costumes for a photo opportunity it's really a fun time for leaders to part each other in the back and joke around but this year journalists were surprised to see a photo op in hawaiian shirts never happened and we were hearing that this is because china was refusing to put on the hawaiian shirt so it really looks like the united states had a hard time during these last two days at apac in honolulu convincing china not only when it comes to economic issues but really issues of the wardrobe as well and this is something that many analysts are not surprised to see because the u.s. currently doesn't have a lot of leverage when it comes to dealing with china as china of course is the largest foreign creditor for the united states holding over one trillion dollars in u.s. debt. but u.s. has long complained that china keeps its currency artificially weak to give an

advantage to exporters but china says the yuan has to rise gradually to avoid harming its economy across one of the office on a boy explains the differences that have piled up now between washington and beijing if there is any us state where the occupy movement has little chance it's probably why despite the high concentration of politicians in wall street big week socializing at the apec summit the only place people are willing to buy here on mass at the beach is this one exception these pictures tourists are against greed and social injustice they're against economic inequality and they are against china . who incidentally the mood at the podium was similarly. i think we can benefit from trade with china and i want certainly to continue cultivating a. a constructive relationship with the trying is government

but we're going to continue to be firm in insisting that they operate by the same rules that. everybody else rules rules and again rules as a country that's been ruling the roost for decades the united states has never been shy of policing others but as china's g.d.p. continues adding nine percent a year against the two and a half percent growth in the u.s. the reprimand seems to be internally driven conformities one of the top values in the chinese meal devolved also reflected in the country's political and economic policy that's not that china doesn't play by their rules the factually why the opposite what the united states seems to have an issue with is that increasingly china rules and that they pretty much washington would prefer to keep it. as the u.s. president hailed his new free trade asia pacific pact as a win win to boost trade in the region some in china took it as a predator effort to change rules made game free trade tend to be. in the

eyes of the beholder. it true for you the protection provided that i get to protect my precious. industries that well will. so it's always a dilemma as to how free it is as the euro crisis continues metastasizing throughout the world and china is asked to shoulder the load many analysts say the west should keep in mind its old adage about he who pays the piper china is really in the driver's seat in many respects and this is coming at an awkward time for the united states because the united states is clearly a declining power at the same time and is having trouble adjusting to what that means many chinese proverbs are difficult to translate into english he had those about money usually have exact equivalents one of them. is money makes the world go round the concept experientially familiar to washington and progressively so to

beijing it's not going to ours at the apec summit in honolulu. now a quarter past the hour here in moscow still ahead for you in the program on their way through astronauts are on course for the international space station a russian soyuz but the first crew to do so since of similar unmanned rocket crashed some three months ago. italy's new prime minister mario monti has begun work on forming a new technocratic government to tackle the country's towering debt an economist and a former e.u. commissioner he now has to implement structural economic reforms to pull italy out of its financial chaos our correspondent sara forth takes a look at whether a new man at the top can make any difference for the eurozone. it was never going to be easy the project that night year at seventeen countries of which are now under one currency attracted fierce criticism we've witnessed the beginning of

a dishonest and downright dangerous german president. to revive the constitution but to do it in such a way that you want to avoid referendums in key member states some might now be wishing they'd heeded the warnings one after another of the member states begin to wobble at least being the latest country to come under scrutiny we have been witnessing in the last long. growing pressure from europe and i'm talking in particular from crohn's and germany partly the u.k. certainly the european parliament and the commission is going to start but the crisis is safe in the leaders of greece and italy replaced by people who were never elected to office he knew their way around brussels and here it is totally with berlusconi now gone doesn't. paying for reforms now need to be implemented to meet tough. for the first time since the crisis began talks have now begun to turn to

the possibility of exit from the year or the creation of a cool europe with countries like germany seem to be leading the way but i think it's not in the best interest of the germans to keep on going with this attitude over here where you have behaved badly we're going to punish that's not a union in united states of america if a state behaves badly imagine taxes behaving badly when you think obama's going to we're going to kick you out of united states of america no they're not going to do that with the growing sense of a bad year a group in a good year a great has not gone on missed by struggling countries lost it's clear that those who even spent less now face up to painful austerity measures the sense of being treated like a naughty school child any added to the growing strain in. community. well so the say there will expose much more france and especially germany to the times

there i did must be up to us to say to to express a political leadership not just for their own countries but for europe as a whole your attentions have not called on this by the financial markets punish political leaders. in dealing with the crisis the struggling economies like italy even the. mistakes italy's being considered by many the test case for the in a year you say it fails and it can take down the entire. the question now is whether or not those measures can be whether we'll see them going the same way as previous measures put forward by european leaders. failed to come up with a convincing. a. just a few minutes here on our air with the business world update here let's go to some other headlines from around the world for you this hour. a naval base used by hamas in northern gaza has killed a palestinian policeman and injured seven israeli officials it was in response to

a rocket fired into southern israel several hours earlier this comes a day after an israeli commander was quoted as saying the military is prepared to topple the hummus regime. the norwegian man who confessed to killing seventy seven people has made his first public appearance in court in july and was a right wing extremist. with a car bomb and went on a deadly shooting rampage at a youth camp on the island of. his previous hearings have been held behind closed doors with the main trial expected to start. in afghanistan the taliban says it's obtained leaked government documents. other papers appear to include security arrangements for president hamid karzai and several cabinet ministers of the group published the twenty seven pages on its website claiming the details would allow it to launch precision attacks afghan officials say the documents are forgeries and

are being used as a scare tactic. now the u.k. government plans to open new schools with army style boot camp disciplined control to struct of pupils the measure was proposed after several cities including london where rocked by riots in august supporters believe it will whip unruly teens into shape but others think it will just make them worse artie's either bennett reports as the going gets tough the tough get going army boot camps are the places set out of line it's this culture of self control the government now wants to bring into schools so it's calling on the cavalry well former soldiers to swap the front line for the front of a classroom following the riots across the u.k. the government fast tracking troops into teaching as a way it says to restore adults or thora t. wants to provide more male role models even giving teachers new powers to use physical force as a way to control disruptive peoples it's not

a bad thing for children to know where they stand. if they step this side of the lie they will be punished accordingly if they stay on the right side of the line. in the confines of the law and they will not be punished it's a line few would cross with a teacher like this afghans going to be headmaster at a new school where every teacher will be a former soldier uniform inspections and military style roll calls but with the polish of a strict routine when you can maintain discipline in a future war which is the most high pressured situation you can maintain discipline in a classroom in oldham but with corporal punishment now a step closer many fear it will push an already alienated youth further away i think they would start building their own gang as they've done towards the police now i've seen the police behave towards our kids is to gangs isn't it if you could say the police are a gang it would be the army case the kids i think they would become more unruly this charity takes in problem people's the state system chucks out and turns their

lives around according to teachers here it's about finding the right kind of stimulation rather than just cracking the whip they become a rule because they're bored putting discipline in isn't the answer just on the tone this is yes but actually making sure to go something at their own level for this sixteen year old that happened to be art he was expelled from school after what he'll only refer to as an incident and is still too afraid to be identified back then he was on course to fail all his exams but after just a year he passed fourteen a far cry from someone supposedly too disruptive to teach. more discipline for children in schools do you think that would have worked. in the early one. class of boring cause as in all talking it's just shit works so beautiful crystal

ball i don't really want to. individual attention was the only thing that turned this boy's education around but with a system that prides itself on conformant see the battle could be only just beginning either bennett r.t. london. r.t. is coming to you live from moscow a successful blast off from the baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan has sent three cosmonauts aboard a russian spacecraft on their way to the international space station now this is the first launch since a similar unmanned a soyuz rocket carrying supplies for the i assess crash almost three months ago at least on barton picks up the story. launch time at the baikonur cosmodrome these three men have gone up to join their colleagues on the international space station but they're late and unhappy about why it is a risky business you can never eliminate risk altogether that that's the bargain that you make for the privilege of flying humans in space on accomplishing what

they do up there on the twenty fourth of august a supply rockets engines failed on its way up to the i.s.a.'s and it plummeted back to worth with a bang it was unmanned but all launches were put on hold and that worries about the safety of soyuz rockets now the only link to the space station crew since the last u.s. shuttle flight in july. this crew of their launch date set back their relatives were especially nervous after the progress crash what do you think about your husband's launch coming up so soon so it's too difficult it's better not to talk about it. the crew themselves though accept the dangers as part of the job. because we're upset about the accident of course but every big project has some room for failure unfortunately this is not completely avoidable but we shouldn't dramatize the situation. and so it was the rock it was lifted into place on its

launch pad we can see the rocket taking off now and we'll watch the progress. but. with deep sighs of relief all watched as the rocket blasted successfully into orbit leaving the crew to experience what all the rest of us only dream about. you can actually get a good view of the earth during the flight and the spacecraft but surely will have time to enjoy it better while on the international space station for that view and from ams future in space they say the risk is worth it tom bottom r.t. . now let's turn over to natasha for the latest business news. it's twenty five minutes past the hour here in moscow welcome to the business program on r.t. italy has no other choice but to exit the euro zone and bring back its national
