been meeting with both representatives of assad's government as well as with the syrian opposition now the circle of rove is expected in this meeting to call on the syrian opposition to bring about this peaceful end to the crisis in the country and to concentrate more on the well being of the people of syria as opposed to any proposed regime change now following the decision to suspend syria from the arab league which was made on saturdays expected to be rather stumped on wednesday at a meeting emergency meeting of the arab league so he a lover of expressed russia's dismay at the decision calling is counterproductive to wait for a peaceful solution to what's going on in the country at the moment he also leveled the blame for this decision being made. the shot to a hundred western governments being behind the see. by the arab league to suspend syria so all of these things will be up for discussion when the two parties meet

later on today for peace or as you say a syria's arab league membership expires on wednesday what will that actually mean for the country. but what it does mean syria's are of neighbors have effectively turned their back on syria now. in a a speech the first member of the first arab leader to call for president assad to go with the the king of jordan king abdullah he said there is a need if he was in a sides position he would find himself with no the option than to step down now. e.u. the e.u. has placed further sanctions as called place for the sanctions on syria freezing the assets of eighteen key members of assad's government now in response to the suspension a decision to suspend syria from the arab league we've seen tens of thousands of people out on the streets of damascus a pro assad's protesters out there we've also seen some protests over the weekend

when a decision was made outside of the saudi and qatari embassies now these two nations a countries that voted to suspend syria from the arab league that decision which will be rubber stamped today a merge and see meeting on wednesday a decision not popular with. the crowds in damascus they saying that. they shouldn't have been suspended from that group now this is well they're looking to bring around with these talks today in moscow is some form a step forward if they can bring around a peaceful solution to this conflict that's going on now for eight months claiming the lives of an estimated three and a half thousand people so russia looking to put together the the opposition on the pro government supporters and get them to the dialogue table and get them talking. from moscow thank you for that. now russia has long been against

intervention in syria and later a former foreign minister and veteran diplomat explains why you get the call for says the vessels of libya and iraq must be learned. which i don't think the worst prepare to take this action with a the security council's but i think we're smarter now than at the time when the first accuser council resolution was adopted and will not adopt another resolution using a big terms which could be used which is amazing 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 stabilize the situation the t.v. never stops reporting you casualties fifteen dead fairly dead every day in iraq explosions and so on it could happen so regularly that people get used to it mr 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 we've had much success in libya feel but.

it's the full interview with former russian privacy again primakov is here there are twenty minutes time. new technocratic governments in greece and italy getting down to business to tackle their massive debts italy's prime minister designate says it's too early to determine how his country will cope with the crisis measures it is warning people of sacrifices ahead. he's trying to rally parties for support some want him to go once reforms are pushed through and the former e.u. commissioner plans to stay until the twenty thirteen election but the clock is ticking for greece a new prime minister made up of coalition because race is a confidence vote on wednesday and says securing the next great out is the priority this country must stick with you rob is that it who explores how the single currency is flows have led some countries to ruins rather than. it was supposed to

bring peace and prosperity for all for a while it did but now the euro is costing people their jobs their pensions and even the democratic rights from the beginning the flaws were there for everyone to see skeptics said the economies of the likes of italy and greece which is too different from germany in finland too regulated by one system but often isn't idealism carry the day new currency was all it was strong and stable and was regulated in ways of german central banker might approve of but very latest 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 and when thirty two thousand on their credit card they will be bankrupt and

many more money a flat screen t.v. will be repossessed and will be a diet of cabbage and potatoes in the worst case. it's similar for a country but instead public sector pay is cut and thousands of people are forced out of jobs before greece and if we always have 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 make it 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 cut because they remain uncompetitive they cannot grow the worst of both worlds. well the politicians failed to put it on greece and italy

soaring poor wing the question though is whether the economic hit squads can do any better now it sees financial experts max keiser is far from convinced saying that behind the scenes are continuing to play the system the night of the living death and all of these zombie bankers you can't get rid of them you can't kill them they live to bank another day they are a plague around the world and certainly in europe 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 in place of the elected officials put in place an elected banker 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 that

bet they impose more austerity measures every time they win a bet they keep one hundred percent of the profits in the eurozone they have an opportunity to bring all the balance sheets of all the countries together and create new lending facilities like that 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're feeling pose more austerity measures more austerity measures more debt more fees for bankers more financial terrorism. well coming up later in the program the torture and abuse on america's watch taking corresponds to a prison and it's still going strong sparked widespread condemnation about just close it also. strains on earth the noise is creating a buzz among around the world really this case what it could mean anything coming

from a few minutes. police in oakland in california have this tense self-styled protest this summer ten three weeks ago clashes left iraq war veteran severely injured moving macam force the resignation of a top advisor to oakland's mayor saying the city is on the wrong side of the dispute after the raid the authorities allowed protesters to return home as they didn't set up camp. cross america against social inequality and corporate greed with wall street activists in your writing direction two months since the began it's nice to see more of the developments on the west coast. we're here in downtown oakland for the occupy wall street protesters are marching back the thought that very thing for which they were addicted just hours ago now we've heard the words of the police spending close to

a million dollars and getting police departments from all across the area to come down and make these protesters idea to spend the occupy wall street movement is going to continue to remain it is very very unclear now we did see a heavy handed show of force just thirty two arrests not too much confrontation but protesters and the police behaved in a much more way than they had the previous times where we saw the excessive use of tear gas clash bang grenades and all kinds of other not people now i'm here with rio here's one of the protesters you've been here from the start what's your sense now why you feel. going at once come out of the city realize is the last time to use leap non lethal force it actually drove more and more people get into the streets so by actually stepping back in small ways it makes it seem a little bit less scary that mayors actually said that she will allow us to continue to have general assemblies in the plaza as long as we get to not camp out in the hours of ten pm till six in the morning right now we still have our old

ciliary can still park so you know for the most part we're not the same as 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 this 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 captain of reporting for artsy in downtown oakland. is warning against imposing new sanctions on iran saying the policy has outlived its usefulness and foreign minister's comments follow the diplomatic fallout from. reports suggesting tehran. hearing how further sanctions could file america and europe. 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 taking 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 out right and you know in a lot of respects be driven into that. other alternative for military action is full scale war which nobody can afford right now and 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 avoided a devastating war. an undercover operation to weaken iran might already be underway and saudi reports online we investigate claims that these wells intelligence agency could be behind an explosion of the military base in iran that killed seventeen people using a key figure in defense. of cosmic journey the russian rocket is sending a crew three on its way to the international space station after a successful launch on monday these and other stories you think it's. called. the world's most notorious military prison is still open for business despite repeated pledges by president obama to get it closed down it's ten years since

george w. bush open the content of the pay facility which has been dogged by other occasions of torture and abuse i think it is reporter jason polled these his country's training principles and promotes. we're we're hypocrites if this administration has actually fought every case that has appeared in. court. so you know we're we're we're very good at preaching but not practicing preaching so it's integrity it's credibility credibility is. the number one issue right now. there is a lot of rhetoric there's a lot of promises that have been made it's political this came down to deal making with senators such as john mccain lindsey graham where they would not get behind certain policies. the president wanted to push forward unless there were promises made that first of all guantanamo would remain open that military commissions would

continue i think that for the most part it's fear mongering and it's politically charged. to other world news now at this hour nuclear contamination in japan. it's proven to be worse than expected with radioactive material in parts of the northeast exceeding levels the following is a first detail desperate of the vision caused by the regime of his austrian batch crop production in the contaminated areas is likely to be severely affected by. the killing spree in germany is being linked to a near nazi terrorists which the government admits went unnoticed the failure to connect a known far right with the unsolved murders of nine migrant workers and the policewoman has been described as shameful chancellor angela merkel link only came tonight with one suspect and of self in two others committed suicide.

first aroused my interest because it is so strange personally i think it's a legacy device that's in the late seventy's or eighty's or the military operations of the time it's original this is. the sea has been going like this since the start whenever that was were sometimes the buzzer stops in the mail robotic like voice lists names and numbers in russian . and the league is the soviet union's and now russia's contact with spies or even civilizations from other worlds. you know has been a radio fan since his childhood he's also had his share of the budget but here's a separation of his purpose is much more down to earth in the affairs of the west and with this sort of connection stream we realize that all of it will shut down in

case of a large nuclear explosion but only for a few hours i mean it's not that i was told anything that's why it's still widely used today by the army the idea is pretty simple a military radio station sends out a buzzer which is received by other army bases by stopping the buzzing the operator signals that a command called of letters and numbers is about to be broadcast when the transmission is complete the buzzer sounds on again just last said moscow's radios modding community nor does signal used to come from a piece outside of the capital but this is what we sought it and this man is the only living soul we could find. on the spot he used to work at least and still in the village nearby. but it is used to be one of the best students in the country but two years ago we received an order to shut it down we were told it consumed too much energy ok there is also another similar unit it still operate. could be that

the legendary wasn't used to get out of this building and with the signal coming from now. who won't be able to find any signs of that mysterious drones we're in here because the equipment was literally ripped out of the walls and floors of the building when the beast was shut down things are actually still here. with the less than three leading back to me two thousand and nine. but the sound is. never it's coming from. through the radio either as if it always has. a simple technology that's conquered the minds of thousands. of. moscow. very strange on the way better in

a gas should not hamper it would help producers create an infrastructure which we should live with but the third energy package will come up at a meeting of the world's leading gas exporters on tuesday particularly our thoughts russia's dance monopoly gas from which owns the transportation facilities present rivetted has surged the lot which hinder the country's energy corp with europe. let's have a look at the markets kurt is trading near a two day low speculation that europe will struggle to contain his debt crisis providing some support prices are expectations that are afforded by the u.s. energy department jus on wednesday may show declining fuel stockpiles in the u.s. light sweet is not trading in ninety seven dollars a barrel while branches that are around one hundred twelve dollars per barrel. in asia the markets are trading in the right following italian boring cost surge reviving concern that europe's debt crisis is spreading. and finally here
