when. russia supporters joins what i'll call you says it is most likely to along with its competitors cut production for bob doesn't want to twelve in order to make things prices of the markets for more on this and twenty. a very warm welcome to you this is the life from moscow syria could be the next object of a foreign military intervention if some opposition groups get their way their calls for outside help are growing louder insisting it's the only way to protect civilians from government security forces the libya style the mom comes despite the latest decision by the mascot to allow arab league observers to monitor how the regime is doing with all the rest have been we said reports suggesting good dozens of army disasters have been killed by syrian troops. the situation in syria now

looks more like a civil war than a government crackdown. we're here in the embattled city of homs and you can hear heavy gunfire in the background that is really hard to share insurance as the civilian population here lives here as week after week month after month they've had to endure this conflict. with the on going violence is taking its toll best how they are the leader who's there being suffocated surrounded by armed groups there are many people who could not have had enough for good did we do to design this holmes is being described as a steel the brink incident will waste on the series this is fighting his breaking out. driving through the streets there are clear signs of complex bullet holes and when they paint and. there's a heavy military presence we went to visit some of the areas where concentrated fighting was continuing it would be dangerous to visit. us in other areas of the

fifty day life struggles on movie it's in the backdrop of gunfire you can see the children playing in the homes that this is the one of the major. others conflict continues for the safety of the civilians to continue living here and this is the situation in homes right now is far more complex than simply one of the opposition against the regime had deep seated sectarian conflicts with their heads. from the very beginning homes. because they're equal large numbers of. much more than. the military funeral held yesterday gets under way five soldiers killed by what the government says is an increasingly militant movement and on the same day reports from the opposition the harrowing accounts of civilian deaths around the country make serious decision to allow the arab league

to send observers the more important this is naturally will want. to. in the same time preserve our sovereignty so really it depends on the intention do they really want to help syria or corners. was the decision by the main opposition outside the country yes and see. the opposition inside the country has welcomed in the north. we hope it's going to be implemented on the ground as it stated in the protocol and we remain completely against international intervention it would lead the country to destruction. with a fractious opposition and rising death toll with facts and information still very hard to verify even on the ground the observers arrival here in syria will be an important step but it's going to be just one of many more that we need to follow

and seeing to ensure that no more lives are lost so. the city of homs. where the first our politicians the due to arrive in syria this week while the rest are expected by the end of december some analysts in the region of calling on them to paint a real picture of what's going on in the country and help prevent a full scale war prompted by the opposition. they have reached a point after nine months of attempting to destabilize the situation in syria where they really are ready for a. full fledged war and destruction in syria and that is why the syrian government is trying as much as possible to act positively and to find the positive measures to be taken in order to calm the situation down when the syrian opposition or at least part of the syrian opposition. and so there are positive moves with with the more insistence on foreign intervention in syria in affairs that actually shows

once again that the intentions of these are all or part of that position is not an intention that is for the well being of the syrian people the observers. and one hopes so that the observers will function according to ethical standards and to professional standards i mean they have to do a comprehensive overview not just a selective one that would show the casualties on both sides because apparently there is shooting on both sides and there are some serious interventions in syrian affairs so to come this hour on the program beaten by the clock the bungles is a bailout cash deadline as the bloc struggles to convince member states to chip in for the common good of the year it also. were going to be the transformative moment for example in economic justice in america not backing down the occupy movement gains momentum after three solid months of worldwide crusade against global

a lifetime. swam away from the rig a bit turned around inside capsize then i started swimming away as fast as possible in fear that i could be drawn into the board tax but those found alive you can see that in comparison they are the fortunate few dozens are still missing in the icy hoxsey following more than two days of searching planes are flying sorties to try and locate those lost and they're being accompanied by boats in the area but the hours spent scouring the horizon so far prefer as only the numbers found dead appear to grow and angry relatives for they know just who's to blame and seem to like why did they need so many sixty seven people and then rick why what was the purpose of having six to seven people there. yes you know i'm the wife of captain because look for the voyage here dressed every official morning down there to talking was prohibited in the winter months because it be here it may have been one

of the largest oil rigs in russia but disappeared beneath the waves in a matter of minutes on the other wattles investigators are looking into three possible causes of the accident firstly it could have been due to violations of safety regulations during the talking of the drilling rig signally the condition of the rig itself might be to blame and lastly. the decision to the rig might have been taken without proper consideration of the weather conditions of the wreck site . the official findings will take some time but whatever the outcome the families of those involved with little comfort come to terms with losing their loved ones. experience but the hope remains of. discovering further survivors appears slim. in russia's far east. will continue to follow the rescue operation. twitter he'll be monitoring developments as they happen and while it is

a lot recently euro commission check their pensions are authorities told they received an average pension of six hundred this is far from reality pensions in greece which fifteen hundred here get around two hundred. a stone he adopted the euro last january but despite a general positive attitude towards the move until now it is mostly big businesses and politicians that are really enjoying the transition there are truly some political advantage in terms of if you want locking a stone even more firmly into the e.u. economic advantages as well in terms of investment the support for the euro is holding up very well people seem to be to see the advantages you may be politically wrasslin economically but the euro what got some party soon brought a painful hangover since september story has agreed to take part in the group in financial stability facility the body created to combat financial crisis and by a lot of countries like greece this is now experts say this membership comes at

a price and can not afford to buy the formula for us very bad because we need to. much. or. from our g.d.p. then rich countries something more than nine percent from our budget poorest country and now we need to pay that debt off my trichet countries the country central bank has even warned of a possible recession recent polls suggest up to sixty percent of a story inspire against the country's membership of the. the government however doesn't seem to pay attention and refuses to drop out of this relief fund meanwhile members of this community say they would rather help greece with potatoes and forward then see their pension money having their adopting the euro soon or later was a necessary condition for us don't you to join the european union but being part of

the european financial stability facility was not in the agreement and while economists are speculating whether stoner should continue its membership in this organization ordinary people are left to wonder why they have to pay someone else's debts. reporting from in a stone. now relations between member states are deteriorating as fast as they're called me the most notable example of the exchanges between france and britain which mean getting progressively more diplomatic and that's one of the themes being discussed in today for kyra report coming your way next hour. better to the french the british says french finance minister and really this childlike behavior going on as the last resort when all else fails you throw mud pies at each other on the playground right it's a roast beef versus the frogs going on of course any sane person would rather be french and british just look at

a recent study that came out about facebook users seventy five percent of british facebook users feature photos of themselves drunk so that should tell you something about that country all the policy makers are drunk mervyn king is mostly in the bag all the people who are trying to do business over there the city of london are for the most part in the. now police in denver dispersed thousands of demonstrators who set fire to their shelters following attempts to victim it comes after protests as recently marked three months since the start of the movement against corporate greed in the us artie's anasazi chicken reports from where it all began. these are the images of america over the last three months that cops are must be striking themselves in the forehead because they've given such life to this

be one critic said the protests would not survive until winter they have we can't fund education we can't fund health care but we can fund the police state and fund these wars until the cows come home at what point is it enough. when does the greed stop opponents said the demonstrations would never track tens of thousands they have i would love to see a peaceful revolution where really what the media ridiculed them as a joke that is not a party that there was trying to have burning man are living right now. but kidding they were not. just us many believe the uprising has transformed the face of america it's totally changed the conversation in the united states from saturday the occupiers of new york fax racks. samplers after being evicted from zuccotti park. attempted to occupy a new public space to use as their base. but

confronted by police about fifty were arrested others kicked out with pretty resilient i think and you know in a short amount of time we'll end up you know occupying a big issue of the. demonstrators plan to keep going until they see a revamp of the financial and political system in the us the financial elite is still lording it over everyone the economy is in trouble foreclosures are continuing to grow all these real reasons the protests and the movement will continue no matter the obstacles the goal of occupy wall street is to make history we're growing and we're going to be the transformative moment for social and economic justice in america. archie. who. can't go shopping while the international headlines embrace this hour now and piers morgan a former british tabloid it's a house did not like phone hacking took place while he was in charge of two
