nato countries of inciting violence there voted for suspension and sanctions at the weekend triggering a mass protests in the country as the pressure piles on the regime syrian opposition leaders are coming to moscow for talks when it's more peace all of their own this what is the syrian national council actually hoping to achieve with this visit to moscow. while the syrian opposition are in moscow today to try and get russia's support for a peaceful end to the ongoing violence in syria now they're hoping that russia can live up to their office of being a mediator in the syrian conflict that's ongoing now they will be hoping they've said the syrian opposition has said they want to see a new chapter opened in syria in russian relations and they're hoping to be part of that now for the russian side they'll be appealing to the opposition leaders to bring an end to the violence asking them to put the people of syria ahead of any.

kind of campaign for regime change any kind of campaign to remove president assad from power to put the the people of syria as they're the ones that are suffering most at the. bitter end of this violence three thousand five hundred people are estimated to have been killed so far in the the eight months this is raged on and russia very much calling for a peaceful end to to the conflict which is one of the reasons they're meeting with the syrian opposition to day now previously they have had talks with the syrian opposition as well as those loyal to president bush and the the current syrian government now for russia is from russia's point of view so to be a lover of the foreign minister expressed russia's dismay at the decision to expel city of from the arab league suggesting that the shadowy honda well. in government

i want to see an escalation of this violence we want to see regime change in syria had been behind that decision from the arab league to remove syria from their membership. syria's arab league membership expires on wednesday what will that actually mean for the country. well that's right when the rubber stamp is put on the suspension which will happen on wednesday at an emergency meeting of the arab league it really seems that the arab leaders have turned their backs on that they are on their neighbor in syria the first of the arab leaders to call for president bashar to go as being king abdullah of jordan he said that if he was in the same position as the president of syria he would be stepping down now to what we have seen in response in syria to the decision to suspend them from the arab league is must protest in damascus in the pro syrian government protesters they've also been

some protests outside of the embassies of saudi arabia and qatar over the past couple of days since that decision was made saudi arabia and qatar to the nations this voted to suspend syria from the arab league and the syrian people in damascus showing their displeasure that decision when from the saudis on the guitar is now the big worry that it could be for syria is the last nation to be suspended from the arab league was libya and one thing that russia from the past has said is they definitely do not want to see any kind of outside military interference in syria similar to what we saw in libya whereby the u.n. mandate was widely well the parameters of the u.n. mandate to a straight beyond with wild disarray really by the nato forces the nato led forces . and their outside military interference into libya a similar situation is something that russia is desperate to try and stop happening in syria which is one of the reasons why the syrian opposition have been invited

here for talks. ok now live there from moscow thank you for that. the king of jordan is that they test the arab to join the chorus of disapproval over syria is edging present this ad to step down online journalist james corbett thinks it's unlikely a sad can stay on much longer i really don't see a way for assad the assad government to maintain its current foothold clutch on the country given the way that things are unfolding. certainly russian or chinese overtures in that area would be i suppose helpful in this regard but i certainly don't know if it's going to make any fundamental difference in the same way that no amount of of protest over what was taking place in libya really seemed to derail that agenda and i think all this does is speak to the lie of the notion that there was ever any consideration for what the people of syria really want certainly we

see that we see that playing out right now with syria and with the thousands of people who are protesting and in favor of the assad government exactly as we saw earlier this summer we saw hundreds of thousands potentially even more protesting in tripoli in support of the gadhafi government but that obviously had no effect on the rhetoric that was taking place in the west and now with this arab league suspension i think we see a dangerous new moment where we're really and you perhaps an even a military intervention is definitely on the table. well russia has long been against intervention in syria and later a former prime minister and veteran different explains why if anything the cough says the lessons of libya and iraq must be learned. i don't think the west is prepared to take this action with a the security council's backing i think we're smarter now than at the time when the first security council resolution was adopted we will not adopt another resolution using a vague terms which could be used for legitimize in these activities. nobody knows

when libya is going to recover from kills look at iraq for example it's been more than eight years and they still can't stabilize the situation the t.v. never stops reporting new casualties fifteen dead thirty dead every day in iraq bombs explosions and so on it could happen so regularly that people get used to it we start thinking this is normal but it's kills over eight and a half years of occupation there's been nothing they could do in libya it's going to be even tougher so i don't think they've had much success in libya. yes the full interview with former russian prime minister get a protocol face hair in around twenty minutes time or not. now a new technocrat led governments in greece and italy i think down to business to tackle then massive debts it is newly appointed prime minister says it's to where it turn and how his country will cope with more anti crisis measures but it's warning people to prepare for sacrifices some parties want monti to go once

economic reforms are through but a former chief says leaving early would undermine market confidence wants to stay until the next shot you lection in twenty thirteen the clock is ticking for greece a minister having a fifteen week elevation because race is a confidence vote on wednesday and says securing the next played out is the currency that his country must stick with the euro but our business editor nick poole explores how the single currency is flaws since some countries into riches. it was supposed to bring peace and prosperity for all for a while but now the euro is costing people jobs their pensions and even the democratic rights from the beginning the flaws with for everyone to see skeptics the economies of the likes of the increase which is too different from germany in finland to be regulated by one system but optimism and idealism carry that new

currency was all it was strong and stable and was regulated in ways the german central bank might approve of there in lay the seeds of the problem greece italy portugal and spain now had their hands on a strong currency and could borrow against it and unlike before the interest rates they would have to pay would be much less so they could borrow much more which is what they did italy currently has a debt to g.d.p. ratio around one hundred twenty percent greece is more than one hundred sixty percent that's a bit like somebody with an income of twenty thousand dollars a year. i mean thirty two thousand on the credit card they will be bankrupt the banks won't lend them any more money the flat screen t.v. will be repossessed and will be a diet of cabbage and potatoes in the worst case the house will. similar for a country but instead public sector pay is caught and thousands of people are forced out of jobs before the euro greece and italy always had the possibility of devaluing the currency when times were at this had the effect of lowering total

debt and of conferring a competitive advantage as products services and labor became cheaper and this stimulated economic growth it also made people poorer as the money in their pockets was worth less but crucially it did not result in mass redundancies especially not imposed by a foreign power under a hard currency like the euro this option is no longer available to the indebted nations so instead they must come out and because they remain uncompetitive they cannot grow the worst of both worlds. politicians fail to put a lid on greece and italy is soaring borrowing the question now is whether the economic hit squads can do any better artie's financial expert max kaiser is far from convinced saying that bankers behind the scenes are continuing to play the system. in the eurozone what we're saying is in place of elected officials put in place unelected bankers and of course they work together they work with the

central banks to keep the keys keeping interest rates near zero percent because this allows them to fund their speculations of the zero cost they don't want to spend any money to borrow money to put the outrages of bets on the table and every time they lose a bed then they impose more austerity measures every time they win a bet they keep one hundred percent of the profits there are no law actions but they're putting bankers in charge to bring about total banker domination as the world goes down a slippery slope into banker hell the main agenda is to create more debt in the eurozone they have an opportunity to bring all the balance sheets of all the countries together and create new lending facilities like the f.s.f. which is a new five trillion euro lending facility and they want to build on that to create ten twenty trillion euro lending facilities because bankers get paid on how much debt they create never mind the fact that the pay for the debt ultimately they have to impose more austerity measures more austerity measures more debt more fees for

bankers more financial terrorism. coming up later in the program the torture and abuse on america's watch and the story of. a prison is still open for business ten years on despite the bomb administration's repeated promises to shut it down. and why that noise is creating a buzz among radio in russia we decode what they could mean where they may be coming from a few minutes time. police in oakland in california have moved in to dismantle tents put up by the self-styled occupy protesters similar attend three weeks ago the clashes which left an iraq war veteran severely injured well thousands have been protesting across the u.s. against social and economic inequality and corporate greed activists in new york

have vowed to shut down wall street strikes in rallies marking two months since the start of the movement parties are equally determined to stop the process with raids and arrests but also. says they may be changing tactics. here in downtown oakland where the occupy wall street protesters are marching back to the very same concept from which they were just hours ago now we've heard reports of the city spending close to one million dollars and getting police departments from all across the area to come down in a big these protesters why the expense of the occupy wall street movement is going to continue to remain is very very unclear now we did see a heavy handed show of force yesterday just thirty two arrests not too much confrontation but protesters and the police behaved in a much more way than they had in previous times when we saw the excessive use of tear gas flash bang grenades and all kinds of other non-lethal weapons now i'm here with leo he is one of the protesters he's been here from the start what's your

sense now why is he allowing everyone to come out of the city realize this is the last. non-lethal force brewers say it actually drove more and more people into the streets so by actually stepping back in small ways it makes it seem a little bit less scary the mayor has actually said that she will allow us to continue to have general assemblies in the plaza as long as we can do not camp out the hours of ten pm till six in the morning right now we still have our own ciliary camping snow park so you know for the most part we're at the same place we were before two weeks ago except with a lot less tear gas and a lot less injured people we are here to stay and you know every hour every day just occupation is here to stay and we're not going away well you heard the man himself the occupation is here to stay and we had our tea we'll be covering it for you this is lucy catherine of reporting for r.t.e. in town town oakland. now russia is warning against imposing new sanctions on iran

saying the policy has outlived its usefulness the foreign minister's comments follow the diplomatic fallout from the watchdogs reports suggesting tehran could be developing an atomic weapon but some who've looked at the detail of the report is inconclusive and that further sanctions could block file america and europe. there is limited information a lot of the reason it's limited is because iran does not have a nuclear weapons program outright they are most likely pursuing a nuclear latency that means that they're doing this research there are enriching uranium but they haven't made the decision to actually pursue a nuclear weapon the stations that have already been in place against iran have been pretty devastating to ordinary people in iran has you know helps drive up the cost of a lot of goods with the new sanctions that are being talked about it's actually we're at a point where we've run out of things to sanction and we're actually looking at things that are going to sanction ourselves there's talk of sanctioning iran

central bank which would effectively take iranian oil off the market and you know it could put the world into economic tailspin there's really there's two paths here either you do the military thing which has been presented as ok a couple one off strikes and then you know it's over but in reality and what the u.s. defense secretary recently said is that the best that that would do is set iran's program back by two or three years you would see them rapidly escalate the program they'd go into manhattan project sort of mentality and pursue a nuclear weapon outright and you know in a lot of respects be driven into that. other alternative for the military action is full scale war which nobody can afford right now then the other path that you have is a diplomatic resolution and that's sort of the path that not a lot of people are willing to talk about but if the end goal is to solve this and not do immense damage to the u.s.

and the globe there is going to have to be a day in the future when we are at the table with iran and we actually set up an agreement where iran is not able to develop a nuclear weapons capability they have safeguards on their program and you know we address some of the issues that we have concerns about and we have void a devastating war. well an undercover operation to weaken iran might already be on the way as r.t. reports online investigate claims that israel's intelligence agency could be behind an explosion at a military base in around but killed seventeen people wouldn't key figure in many defense also. cosmic journey a russian rocket is sending a crew of three on its way to the international space station after a successful launch on monday these and other stories are at your fingertips at r.t. dock. the world's most notorious military prison is still open for business despite repeated pledges by president obama to get it closed down

this sort of connection is extremely reliable it will shut down in case of a large nuclear explosion but only for a few hours it's not dependent on anything that's why it's still widely used today by the army the idea is pretty simple a military a radio station sends out the buzzer which is received by other army bases by stopping the buzzer operator signals that a command called of the letters and numbers is about to be broadcast when the transmission is complete the buzzer sounds on again you just lost said moscow's radio spot in community nor were the signal used to come from a base outside of the capital but this is what we saw there and this man is the only living soul we could find. on the spot he used to work at the beach and still lives in a village nearby. a little but it is used to be one of the best units in the country but two years ago we received an order to shut it down we were told it

consumed too much energy there is also another similar unit it still operate this could be that the legendary buzzer used to be out of this building and with the signal coming from now it looks like we won't be able to find any signs of that mysterious transmitter here because the equipment was literally ripped out of the walls and floors of the building when the base was shut down but some things are actually still here like the journal with the last entry dating back to me two thousand and nine. but the sound is still there were ever it's coming from. boise through the radio ether almost as if it always has and always were a simple technology that's conquered the minds of thousands. who got the skin of
