so. the. war. put to the test as the u.n. general assembly scrutinizes the syrian crisis could be seen by some as an attempt to tighten the screws on russia and china. europe gets hit with yet another wave of downgrades as congress collapses over the books future this presses a head of the source there he can save against a reluctant greece. the russian airways flirted with reelection campaigning positive coverage of prime minister vladimir putin it's criticised as an unfair advantage over the other presidential candidates. plus there are some markets kick off the trading session in the red with the r.t.s.

isn't running half a percent you have all the through history in business in france and that. internationally isn't comments twenty four hours a day this is r.t. the u.n. general assembly is preparing its members for an upcoming vote over a new draft resolution on syria the document echoes the one vetoed by moscow and beijing at the security council an early favorite the u.n. human rights chief said the inability of the body to take action on the syrian crisis and i'm the president carte blanche to execute an all out assault on the decisions of the general assembly and what legally binding some believe the vote be used to put pressure on russia and china is an essential explains. this meeting has definitely last in the entire day we've been hearing speeches from

dozens of countries that started early in the morning and of course this comes only a week after a double veto from russia and china blocked an arab and western backed resolution on syria at the security council so what we saw was an attempt from the saudi arabia and qatar to. go to another body of the united nations in attempt to find some kind of just decision there even though the general assembly just consist of over one hundred ninety members we have to keep in mind that it's not nearly as powerful as the security council because whatever decision comes out of the general assembly is by no means binding it's only seen as a recommendation by the rest of the international community and what's key here is that the tax office of this supposedly resolution of the general assembly will be voting on voted on has not even been circulated yet we're hearing about it's going to be pretty much the same document that russia and china vetoed and russia and china's problem with the text was that it seemed biased to the countries saying that it only names the syrian government as the main cause of the conflicts going

on on the ground in syria but not the arms group the armed groups and that's something that continues to be a major sticking point the recognition of the two sides to this conflict by the international community we've been hearing all of these countries make speeches cities see it seeing that the syrian government is committing atrocities so really this is another opportunity for those who do support regime change on the ground to send out criticism towards the syrian government many experts are saying really that the fact that under this symbolic diplomatic gesture is being attempted at the united nations does not really mean much because any sort of document is not going to help stop the crisis on the ground unless i pushes for a cease fire so many are saying that should be priority prioritized at the general assembly these days and not just you know a lot of words of criticism but new york based correspondent jean williams says if the action in syria is pushed through the u.n. general assembly in concert a dangerous precedent. the arab countries in the western countries want to show

that they're doing something. if they were serious then they were oppressed for a special general assembly an emergency special general assembly meeting under the uniting for peace resolution and this you made remember field rich with irony was the form that the u.s. and britain used to fight the korean war in the face of a soviet veto in the early fifty's since then it was resurrected by the palestinians to bypass the american b.t.o. in the security council and that's i presume is why it is not being invoked now because i use the phrase a non-binding resolution the resolution that established the state of israel and partition this was a general assembly resolution so that was not binding then where do we go from there and you know what we have is some colors say that resolutions they like are binding a resolution they don't like a non-binding. the contrary presidents of the general assembly could have followed

earlier precedent and said that there was sufficient support for a special it as you see special session but he hasn't done so and i'm sure that's because a western pressure. they don't want to establish a precedent but they consider these resolutions binding because that would be upsetting next time the u.s.b. goes a palestinian resolution when syria damning reports continue to emanate from the protest homes and with the spiraling violence now being fanned by so much president karzai that there are concerns the crisis could take a sectarian form as are things here for ports. predominantly christian town of milly lies in the syrian mountains it's even here in his hauntingly beautiful place and the signs of the pre-writing conflict is tearing apart much of the country right now a creeping in in the sense of foreboding hangs heavy because they don't travel out of this area much they may longer feel it's safe he speaks of the nuns at the

monastery here they tell us about the town's preservation of the ancient aramaic language and like their cherished tongue they hate the fine balance of religious groups in the country can be kept even in these difficult times. we have been living huge people who are most of their religion and in peace for a long time. back in the center and their mascot is known as a melting pot of religions allen respecter a minority in the country that despite making up around just twelve percent of the taito population and always have occupied elite positions in the government and the military for decades and now there are fears that resentments among the majority muslim sunni stack's could erupt the country that until this crisis break out was religiously diverse as the tolerance now the can increasingly polarized genuine fears that as well that those divisions my laid his

a sectarian tensions being further exploitive have been staked by the emergence of an al qaeda video calling for a holy war over throw the assad regime violence is just not going to end we see it happening in iraq neighboring iraq sectarian violence that is catastrophic and nobody is reporting on that they're reporting on syria and they're not focusing on the potential problems that syria could lead into another iraq on the streets through an increasingly desperate population has called for help in whatever form it comes as long as it stops the violence there's little time for them to think about long. carrying risks as many of them a worrying about daily survival anyone or. anyone over there. yes. in syria right now the split still largely remains along political lines is concerned it is this increasingly bloody

conflict continues it could turn into a sectarian one as well so i think in that it's very. possible to come on the program the super power games washington and beijing represent to discuss gratian what the u.s. gives its forces and the chinese backyard. and tensions between israel and iran escalates half a ton of claims terror on carry out to bomb attacks in the city start in their analysis of those events in just a few minutes. yet another wave of credit rating downgrade the e.u. with moody's three raters slashing schools in italy spain and four other nations this is the bloc labors to erect a debt barrier around greece and its hopes that extreme austerity there will alter any possible contagion. greece reports it's a plan that already seems been rattling. system on the seach

m.p.'s drowned out the pleas of tens of thousands of demonstrators amassed within a short passing another round of unpopular cuts. the results proved incendiary. which if you got the protests turned violent as protesters including fridge and a kiss clashed with police again leaving their mark on athens. the day on this is the remnants of public anger the gloss of the only thing that's being broken as governments past increasingly unpopular austerity cuts will be left asking who can they trust serve their interests to measures have very very tough part of the poor people especially and this is a zone that we feel. today and i think more measures have been taken. it's not going to work again he'll be another bill he clearly had bad and.

hope for the best but i don't see it coming. under pressure from brussels berlin and international monetary fund the greek government has cut more jobs and slashed funding for the nation's pensions a minimum wage the current policy of case the main expose those most vulnerable to crisis conditions is a mindset some feel is doomed to fail we already have destroyed the whole generation of young people and their dreams destroyed. the. whole country we know that there is. a piece there that we have no signs that these illegal or all do which we cannot continue like that because the government is following actually increases the beds instead of finding a solution but the hearts of activists claims is there a solution that they've known as their. the for the best part of five years now and

that time taxes have risen incomes have fall of the country's deficit only seems to grow ending this austerity cycle is something sought by an increasing number despite the turmoil the government walls will follow what the political system is the break of the right exactly proved to be even more. or for. the only way out from this point is the default default is good to be good for us but there's going to be a better solution than abuse a slow death for now relative calm has returned to the streets of athens smashed buildings have been patched up the signs of damage swept away the simmering discontent hasn't been and was forced medicine appears to bring nothing but pain many are continuing their call for terms of treatment griefs r.t. . despite greece passing its harshest austerity package yet there's no guarantee it

will get more bailout cash and still has conditions to fulfill including further cuts to protect against a greek default but it's a national consultant and author agency says the country's locked in a vicious cycle. are bankers that stupid they always make the mistake of lending too much money there are governments that stupid loans much more than they can pay back or insist is this part of our model where like shylock's. pay your bill of three of these sovereign there is literally used to control and it's so sad to see the same sickening scene time and again protest since taking to the streets they are repressed by the police for tear gas stones somebody gets injured hundreds get into somebody's always ends up getting killed and i always figure that it's the poor people on the streets fighting the police who are also poor and i always

wonder if there are a cigar smoking. on the fiftieth floor board room looking down at these horrific scenes in just a laughing at a lot of. choi that desired you to meet on wednesday to give the athens played out their preliminary approval the final say however rests with the german parliament something that's not sitting well with max keiser coming up in about fifteen minutes a unique take on europe's debt crisis and the kinds of reports. greek supreme tombstone austerity deal with troika so we see over and over there's a great deal there is not a great deal there's a great deal there's not a great deal you know. there's a. german. build you draw all the elegant marbles. already stalled.

the arrival of the chinese weiss president issuing paying in the u.s. comes after testing pointing relations between the two economic giants due to meet with his american counterpart joe biden are expected to work on toys against the backdrop of a u.s. military buildup and asia pacific michael roscoe defense out of this rajaratnam school of international studies says the visit is a chance for china to share its world view. it is also a very important hearing in chinese political follicle system it's a year where you'll see a generational shift in chinese political system. being basically represents the fifth generations of new chinese leaders which will take an after after this here he's basically poised to become mature gentle party secretary in october of this here and now become a chinese future president and secondly he wants to give us a sneak preview of what he wants to basically show himself a little introduce himself to the u.s.
