book about you're watching r t coming to you live from moscow eleven am and the russian capital marina joshie welcome to the program the u.n. security council has agreed to once to avoid military intervention in syria but differences remain over the way ahead the u.s. as well as its european and arab allies one president out of power for its part russia says the u.n. shouldn't be used as a platform for excessive interference in syrian affairs area of work that has the latest from new york. the united states france britain could talk are. all those countries supporting this draft resolution said that there would be no military intervention imposed in syria if the draft resolution was adopted but the most important thing to note is that those spearheading the push for this draft resolution are also calling for

a ceasefire in in syria and also calling for a national dialogue between the government and opposition groups these steps these calls are calls that have been made by russia for the past few months russia has indicated on tuesday that it will veto a draft resolution on syria in which the tax calls for imposes any regime change and leaves a rhetorical door open for military intervention similar to what the world saw transpire in libya now russian ambassador to the united nations vitaly churkin did address the security council indicating that russia is clearly committed to finding a peaceful solution to the ongoing conflict in syria but it is a solution that has to involve the syrian people not a solution that is imposed by outside forces take

a listen to what he had to say this unity council cannot prescribe radio disappears for the outcome of domestic political battles it's not in the charter we don't want the security council to call him to fall into the habit because once you start it is difficult to stop then you will start doing what needs to do you know what prime minister needs to step down this is really not the business of the security council moscow has proposed its own draft resolution on syria which calls for both parties participating in the violence to come to the negotiating. negotiating table and take part in a dialogue this is an invitation that russia recently made to representatives of the syrian government and opposition groups earlier this week to try to get them to come to moscow and participate in talks in the coming days the security council will be working to try to come to a consensus on the text of

a resolution on syria but if the tax remains as it's been presented calling for president bashar al assad to step down and leaving the door open for military intervention this is something that russia firmly will be opposed to barring of art not reporting there from new york now the west has made a habit of using the u.n. to legalize its aims of regime change in other countries so says peace activists jacob hornberger that's the whole idea of these resolutions that there can still matter how tightly they are constructed they will always be construed to do whatever the u.s. government the british government want to do but one thing's for certain this is a problem through the syrian people to resolve not through the u.s. government the british government the united nations this is a problem for the syrian people so obviously that the main thrust of u.s. foreign policy is regime change we've seen them time and time again he begins with sanctions and goes into embargoes blockades but ultimately the quest is to remove

a recalcitrant dictatorship install a u.s. regime even if it happens to be a dictatorship so this is another classic example of where the u.s. is but an india other people's affairs when it really has no business doing so and coming up later in the program here in our keep it alive on his gas tank crossed the beta hurdles in a way of breaking the deadlock of the syrian crisis. for to hold negotiations between all of the different parties and as we know the syrian national council you know one of the main opposition blocks. essentially rejected that offer possibly with some foreign encouragement behind them because one of the stipulations that they made one of the preconditions for the talks was that. should resign so they wanted on the old come to go she

owed come of the process as a preliminary condition and so the possibility of negotiations is very unlikely and from my point of view it's starting to resemble a bit what was happening in libya where the opposition consistently refused to engage in any sort of peaceful negotiations. can share your thoughts on the situation in syria log on to our t dot com take part in our online poll well let's take a look what's happening on the web site now this hour forty five percent say it will and with a russia china veto over a third of the respondents think that the right to simply be used by the west to further its aims in syria less than a quater believes that wealth and whether a continued u.s. effort to overthrow the assad regime minority viewers thing that there will be an agreement on the motion head to our web site here calling to let us know what you

in august twenty ten the future of the world famous whistleblower it's unclear as ever questions are being raised over sweden's legal system and its ties with the united states hearties dumbarton has the details. the face that launched a thousand leaks julian a son does exposure of tens of thousands of secret documents has embarrassed governments the world over but the wiki leaks phenomenon is no longer his most pressing concern. swedish authorities want to question a songe over allegations of sexual assault dating back to august two thousand and ten prosecutors have been criticized by a son just supporters and international civil libertarians with allegations of a cumbersome contradictory and slowly build process huge arguments have also broken out over the nature of some of sweden's laws on sexual offenses such as those asylums faces it's going to be closed course and leading up to the trial is going

to be held. well the chief prosecutor asked for him to be held in solitary confinement it's just. so there are so many bizarre aspects to the wiring which the matter that is being conducted up till now. from our perspective i just can't see how he would get a fair trial. others have gone beyond legal arguments saying the storm raised by our sons through wiki leaks has made him a target for political interference across the atlantic u.s. or thirties enraged at having their secret documents exposed may seek to have a son extradited there to stand trial but surely sweden's famed neutrality would stop such a thing i would disagree whether it in is an outright country sit in a very clear cut. proximity and collaboration even. in military operations. such campaigns

initiated by nato you have for instance. so it's presence in afghanistan you have a clear cut it brought nato policy want to participate in that it's not to try to do it with some u.s. politicians branding a son a cyber terrorist and calling for the death penalty it could get a lot worse for the wiki leaks founder the problem is not that we have too much wiki leaks we have too little. i think most people ok with that for. international public polls indicate that very large majorities applaud and support the efforts of. the why do worry is that with or without julian asuncion governments around the world with something to hide will now launch full scale assaults on internet freedom in order to keep their secrets secret but for

a nuclear weapon they would have to kick out he would inspectors he would know that and they don't want that at all they are not working on nuclear weapon they have not yet decided to do so so the facts or the truth of finance ministers both intelligence agency the way they say it is they have not yet decided to know nuclear weapons well that means to me simple english means they're not working on a nuclear weapon going to war i mean if. contrived synthetic you you have to take five steps back and say what is this whole about this is about a nuclear capability but it was about regime change. china is the world's fifth the largest holder of gold and seems to be in the market for more it's believed beijing snapped up around five hundred tons of gold in twenty eleven double what it bought in twenty tan analysts say china is looking for investment

americans throughout the country but commercials were designed to encourage israeli jews to return to their roots suggesting that america's jewish culture has weakened but as policy your reports the ads seem to have done more harm than good. the big commons could be the family featured in an advertisement recently pulled from american t.v. the goal is israeli marry to an american jewish woman what it was saying is that my husband shouldn't have married me but the emotional response was just ouch. this is one of three ads sponsored by the israeli government and eight across the united states that evoked more than just an ouch from american jews when who is really grandparents ask what festival it is the american granddaughter happily on says christmas instead of the jewish festival of hunger the implied suggestion was that jewish identity has been diluted in america and that angered many jews who live there. or. support cannot loads of points

or two or. missiles and so for them. this shows a toddler calling daddy daddy to his napping is really expected father who finally wakes up only when he son switches to hebrew american jews felt insulted by the suggestion that israeli jewish identity was more pure than american jewish identity i think that that's really what bothered me about the ads is that they came from a place of almost fear mongering you know they were almost kind of trying to scare people who are living here israelis are living here the ads were designed to encourage its radius living in the united states to come home but critics complained they smacked of arrogance ignorance and cultural disrespect for america instead of giving positive reasons for expects to return to israel they failed to address why many had left in the first place i think a lot of american jews look to going on israel what's developing in the parliament particular in the field strongly alienated from that and they say to themselves

this is not the israel that we love where this is not israel that we want to defend american jewry has always been more liberal than israeli society they traditionally voted democrat and often open to a list off the docks practice of judaism then the israeli counterparts. for years a rift has been growing between the two much of it based on the aggressive policies of tel aviv towards gaza and the occupation the israeli palestinian conflict still shows no signs of compromise and consecutive israeli governments have been unable or unwilling to reach agreement with the palestinians leaving many american jews feeling more and more alienated from israel does some of what's going on in the israeli public sphere troubled some north american jews troubled them very very greatly i have no question but that's the case since the late one nine hundred sixty s. israel has built hundreds of thousands of homes here in the whispering more than half a million people now live in settlements tell of announced it was issuing tenders for thousand more homes to be built across the green line evoking anger and

condemnation from the international community. as many as a million one in eight israelis live outside the country in the last five years the number of people who choose to leave the holy land has outpaced those wanting to come and live in israel and although the ads are no longer on the air the reasons that they provoke such a backlash in the first place are far from resolved r.t. television. ever has this after day and the time now take a look what's happening the world of business. thanks marina hello to you welcome to the business program the chiefs have not one is from around that the east decision to impose and ball will be to skyrocketing oil prices the organization thinks a fair price for about a brand should be about one hundred dollars david and his global director of oil that industry researches plats says the war is not so much crude prices will hit

one hundred fifty dollars a barrel but that actually fall. most of the people we talked to in the market don't expect oil to get anywhere near hundred fifty anytime soon in fact the concern is really rather that oil will fall below that saudi arabia which of course has the greatest reserve of oil it can bring to market in the event of a disruption has made constant assurances that it's going to be able to fill any gap left by the iranians even if they attempt to close down the strait of hormuz which looks increasingly unlikely as the weeks go by right now there appears to be plenty of supply available in the event of a disruption and of course there's a lot of stock to hand as well a lot of countries have been busily stockpiling crude oil and we've been well aware of potential structure for the better part of the year now so the market is positioning itself to withstand the supply shock so much so it might be over supply the short term a lot of watchers are concerned that the process of all my fault rather than rise may be be a case of being a little bit over prepared here for what might come to pass. ok so that's what

might happen let's see what is happening now crude is trading near its lowest price and more than a week that says demand for fuel is slipping in the u.s. a report by the energy department forecasts to show higher crude supplies i mean pressure on all are also government statements that consumer confidence is falling and business activity is killing and the world's biggest crew can see my fellow the prices are indeed up to move on to the exchange rate here is retreating just not jake. it's a dollar a both the european and the u.s. currency is off against the russian ruble after seeing some losses in previous sessions and let's move on to the. asian stocks are mixed with china's growth until the try to spotlight after two reports of factory out cities showed different results with official data showing a modest improvement while a private survey by hey just b c will build a slight pull so investors are having to do with digesting both pieces of information that for now may carry is not just not on the hang seng is down maybe

half of the. i'm more scared of the markets they opened up in the right amounts where they were a main b.l.t.'s is in one place while the my sex is zero point six percent down maybe moderation those all throughout the day for you as we want to the my sex financials are among the biggest retreat is this our spag losing almost one percent problem is also with the red is net profit rose over forty one percent in the first nine months of last year and all pipeline monopoly trials net is gaining the company plans to invest thirteen billion dollars into its infrastructure by twenty twenty looking ahead to the coming trading sessions to monday from do says after a strong start to be good caution is the better part of valor. we've had a very good rally for us not to do so since the previous year so you know i would be. quite cautious bearing that in mind and i would be looking for companies that

display a few characteristics. that generate free cash flow that i know have generate generate money. that don't have a lot of debt pay a dividend yields to investors i don't have lots of liquidity and quite safe so for me companies like. difficulty with this kind of environment. are quite safe stocks like my part of promise of america. just raise all those defensive courage restriction that's a source of probably problem in this environment. and. well the new mining giant rio tinto has teamed up with russia's e.s.p. group to explore the country's resources. billion and exams in yes's who is also a major shareholder in pali mess over on russia's top silver make out the new school exploration venture. e.s.d. has already bought a license for possible posits in the far east. the winds of change is coming to the global economy a new report by saxo bank says the crisis will reach

a peak the share of a major changes in the structure of the financial system in the opinion of the bank further state intervention only finds diminishing returns with europe unable to solve the debt crisis sachs a bank predicts european stock markets will dive twenty five percent the euro zone will show zero growth this year with the global g.d.p. to increase just three percent the author of the report seen jacobsen explains why it's a part in the current situation in my opinion my personally i have fifty percent in cash twenty percent in gold and then i have thirty percent in corporate bonds and that is divided into two currency parts one with fifty percent in dollars and one fifty percent in. terms of whether as a class i like i like bonds because bond in itself is a put on a good team or a good word you see the stock market goes down the bond goes up the one place in the market where the biggest capital dislocation is in the corporate bond market so

in a corporate bond market you can buy yields of ten fifteen percent in currencies like swedish kronor and that's where from the real gains would be you should be both be taking care of the currency but you're also certainly be investing because in terms of crisis you have the greatest opportunity. they have a cash gold ball all they've got next hour we're going to have a euro pan markets information for you john in that fifty five minutes.
