8:48 am
well it's a very populous what when and i think that theoretically all creative company yes they all had employees taking part in the management take microsoft take all of these companies you always have that you know smart people are never dictate they almost called parade creating some kind of an innovative product that i think feels it and he wants people to believe that he well here is how mr putin sees the future labor market the rush. the skilled jobs market is need of serious change we have to provide social mobility with the workers professional to russia needs to restart its labor aristocracy by twenty twenty this aristocracy should make off with least one third of skilled workers about ten million people. this social mobility is also called in russia social lifts what are these so should there i recently i think i heard that the bureaucrats call their united russia
8:49 am
party they call it a social lift that that makes people like me helps them helps them. make a career now putin is obviously dumping the united russia party so so so one of these lives really hard imo a problem with the idea of social left if only because i mean in often we talk about you know social ladders and social processes social left and lift is something you get on you press a button and it takes you off regardless of your your effort and i think that that's not necessarily even what put in me this is where you are talking maybe this is what everyone i've. worked for a certain number of people for a certain amount of time but i think that the broader problem is is mobility the broader problem is giving people opportunities not necessarily to go where the government wants you to go but to be able to take your own life in your own career where you want to go and that means creating economic opportunity but it also. i have a hard time understanding why. what the story does after then when he talks about
8:50 am
the laborer stock received i read the article three or four times looking for a definition of the labor caucus only to decide. they were because there is style you know it's an old marxist in morris marx called labor aristocracy the bribed party militarily tyrion exactly and i think its very nature what you can position himself as a conservative russian someone who was against germany france so he remembered from his youth broadly this idea that a labor aristocracy skilled walk us that less sprawl to the board populace into supporter of allusions then you know just walk us have the i want you to buy this to exactly zero so i think we're going to see. the socialists i read some ironic comments in russian press about that you know one person a conservative by the way he ruled that the last time the social leafs were walking was in the early ninety s. when all of this only got six went up with these socialists do you really want these people i would also show lives and there you are
8:51 am
a good to get into the same lift with them i think it's a very small question you know the subject puts in touches upon this migration immigration well he calls for it's a very interesting phrase i read a risk free sort of proof immigration well with three hundred thousand migrants could. afford to have a full proof it is a risk free migration point with a bit i think that if you want to go along with a foolproof risk group migration policy could sell it for lots of money on the international market because nobody found it yet migration is a problem but migration is also an opportunity or russia does have a labor shortage russia doesn't want to grow a force or does want to be creating new classes of workers and and creating new economy it does need to bring in workers at least for the time being simply because . it doesn't have enough of its own human resources and. even even more broadly it's not particularly because it's. a signal of russia's success that people from
8:52 am
surrounding countries and other parts of the world want to come here and make a career and try to get some are putting it on the quiet agree i would also say to see more with disaster that happened in central asia and in france caucasus so many people willing to come to russia sometimes without any rights without anyone actually waiting for them here it just shows how bad the situation is there and you know the problem is that. i like the statement that we need regulated migration i think it's all right but i expect at least one of the candidates to see we should make life in central and little better we yes we russians we russians issued recently so you know what i have said it's a no interest. in russia's near abroad if you are in the year a billion veneer but not. exactly sure exactly. how. well russia has wards of interest to improve in order to invest there to give
8:53 am
people there more education what we have no intention or even for example azerbaijan would have the so-called slavic universities which change a gate about two or three thousand people a year that's a that's a drop in the ocean so and basically if you look there moment of mining that brush actually because of illegal migration and because of the money transfers back to these countries it would make sense economically to improve life there i think the united states already came to that conclusion that instead of having all their immigrants from korean douras is much better to me what i think and you were really really well you know the states is mostly concerned about bringing democracy to one dearest which obviously is cheaper than making life easier. hopefully in the long run and giving people a stake in the way their countries are governed makes it easier for them to stay and to find their own paths and i think that there's there's some sense to that what it does have limited. sources however there are you know there are real
8:54 am
problems in central asia and i think that there washer also faces real problems in its own territory as you mentioned russia's interior and so on the far east and i think it's difficult to talk about building schools and investing in infrastructure in central asia was a good public like in the caucasus i mean they attribute a lot of the program will be the only good if you don't build schools have to educate all of these millions of children here with russian children which would make and watch a problem and democracy you know the more democratic state in central asia is kyrgyzstan and we get the most migrants from there unfortunately so although. we get more from you could well percentage wise. it's a big kyrgyzstan just because russia is very developed well the world which was to send their money to. countries outside russia now let's hear. according to let me put in where should the money go to. the true will spend on the
8:55 am
social sphere must produce justice to just society and economy prerequisites of our sustainable development during these years. well this is the final statement in the recent article does that mean what we just heard doesn't mean that the economy in russia is in an unfair way does it mean we're living in an. well russia has like a lot of places around the world increasing inequality and inequality that is entrenched for a lot of people and so that there is an issue of justice there's also an issue of justice though if you start getting into the age old discussion about you know taking away and dividing resources that creates injustice for other people so that the big question i think is how do you create a system in which. people can feel that they have a stake in the way the justices decide who's going to be the final arbiter of
8:56 am
justice and if somebody decides that they feel that the way things are being managed are handled is not just one of the resources that they have to do with the russian people believe that the president should be the final arbiter of just isn't that true i'm not sure because indeed paternalistic sentiment is strong in society and by that i don't think you shouldn't exaggerate it because for twenty years now when you without that paternity state and it's of course a very different society from what it was in the soviet union in that sense russia is very much like many other countries in the world and i think that putin actually in that article he acknowledges that russia is not a very fair country you know this is very sad but we have to finish this program stating that living in the first society is means living like all the others in the world thank you thank you so much for so we went out of time but it was a pleasure talking to you just a reminder that my guests were political analysts to meet the vibe each and so and
8:57 am
that's it for now from for now from all of us here if you want to have your say and spotlight we have some of the mind if you think i should into the next room you can always drop below spotlight will be back with more first time comments on what's going on in and outside russia until then stay on r.t. it's a cure it. on

our t.v. violence in syria escalates as a high ranking religious leader is assassinated a damascus allegedly from his pro-government stats our correspondent is part of events in the syrian capital. athens fulfills the last of the news bailout amounts but many greeks feel the nation won't recover from a certain measures on their health care system while leaving the military on the scale. and fears of a pending confrontation between television and tehran wrote followed reports that reagan's arrested over recent bombings were targeting israeli diplomats.
9:01 am
just after six pm here in the russian capital and you're watching our t.v. and also our top story the syrian opposition have accused the government of stepping up attacks on the rebel held areas where the city of daraa the latest target meanwhile a high ranking religious leader was assassinated and the capital damascus reportedly for his political views now this comes after the president's announcement of a referendum on a new constitution which could create a multi-party system in the country but the proposal doesn't seem to have helped curb the violence but if a national reports now from syria. so there's a damascus has started within you so this is the nation the shake of one of the mosques over done one of the districts of the capital was killed as far as local media is reporting he was shot and dad was five scholz this area may dawn is known
9:02 am
to be very conservative people living here supporting a very much pro-government procession but at the same time they've been many off with people living in this neighborhood as well and tensions between these two sides have been very hard specially in recent the just last month of this ever is so suicide bomber a type one twenty six people were killed and more than sixty all those injured speculations appeared as well that they say was killed because of his political views people we have been able to speak to here on the ground have been telling us that this man has been supporting president bashar al assad policies continuing in the southern part of the country we are hearing from the opposition activists that the army of bashar al assad has attacked the city of daraa targeting free syrian army soldiers actually just travel to the city of daraa on wednesday and we've been able to speak to the governor over this area on the ground and with many military
9:03 am
there and they've told us that there is no free syrian army in this region right now and actually in generally they say that it doesn't exist such a thing as well coordinated opposition military force they've confirmed that they're fighting over every day the military operations but they're fighting against separate armed groups which are. mostly consisted they say of army defectors and foreign soldiers well the u.n. general assembly is to vote on a non-binding resolution on syria sponsored by arab nations to put pressure on the ruling regime with a texas thought to be similar to the one vetoed by russia and china at the security council more than a week ago and moscow has warned it won't back the new document unless it stops putting all the blame for violence on the authorities making no mention of armed opposition groups operating in syria. those we've been asked to vote on a resolution that only asks government forces to withdraw from cities and basically
9:04 am
hundred them over to armed groups but it's very unclear who these groups are there are muslim brotherhood members army deserters but there's also al qaida it's not by chance that al qaeda leader has called on everyone to unite in a fight against syrian president assad's regime. who would hand syria over if such an approach one you can always find a compromise in conflict but only through carrying out negotiations this is what some from syria's opposition refused to do being dissuaded by some external players who bear a huge responsibility for the ongoing violence for the deaths of peaceful civilians . and the u.s. has criticized the syrian government's promise of a new constitutional vote describing it as laughable and accusing the regime of making a mockery of the unrest well that's a red a growing chorus with their the u.s. calling on washington to supply anti assad fighters with weapons as are reports it's a move that many believe would make peace impossible. hawks in washington calling
9:05 am
for the arming of insurgents in syria we should start thinking all options including arming the opposition i give them training i give them communications equipment and then ultimately i give them weapons. experts say arming the fighting groups among the opposition is a sure way to drag the country into a protracted civil war it will also further marginalize those in the opposition who have advocated nonviolence or would be asked political strategies that the more. plied to the to the factions of the syrian opposition the more that happens the less likely it is that they'll be a negotiated solution leading to a cease fire in a peaceful settlement they're encouraged i think very much by the united states the civil war in lebanon went on for fifteen years absolutely appalling bloodshed and you can easily see that that could happen in syria like the u.s.
9:06 am
all qaida has indorse the rebels fighting in syria under president assad syria has been a secular state some analysts argue that one of the reasons why al qaeda supports the violent uprising in syria is that in the last secular environment it's easier to recruit new terrorists if the government holds that you'll be looking forward to just a very long period of complete disintegration and they will be able to attract more and more fanatical recruits look at the civil war in iraq in two thousand and six and seven it was absolutely appalling the calls to arm fighting groups in syria sound even more alarming given the u.s. history of arming radicals afghanistan one example that it was a placing itself in alliance with the mujahideen including osama bin laden and these people who now of course it is lately been deploring as fanatical fanatical enemies that the united states said these these alliances. totally cynical and
9:07 am
totally opportunistic there's not a shred of guns. but despite the hawks outcry the obama administration is taking a more cautious stance with regards to syria we don't think more arms into syria is the right answer some analysts say arming the very much fractured syrian opposition would contribute to its further radicalization and would make a political solution virtually impossible a number say washington might support arm supplies indirectly through its arab allies as of now the administration denies having such plans but will that position hold i'm going to shut down reporting from washington r.t. . michel chossudovsky from the center for research and globalization says that foreign intelligence operatives on the ground are helping to stir up political chaos in syria. i certainly know that the government. that's it but swallowed by the constitution that introduced baltic
9:08 am
a multi-party system but the people who are well why did the government are not. wealthy democracy. there are directly as we know they are directly backed by doing so. operatives which are present. collaborating with the rebels the free syrian army is not something which is representative of the opposition because of this of action is to create political instability which will subsequently lead. to the legitimize the syrian government destabilizing syria as a nation state what they don't like about syria is that syria is a proxy us state still the line with washington so it's not having all those it's a secular government it's a country of tremendous religious tolerance. and still ahead on our team the arab

spring has already run its course in libya but a year on a cleansing post-revolutionary atrocities cast of dark clouds over adversity celebrations. the thai police as israeli diplomats were the target of a group of iranians arrested after prematurely setting off explosives and bad call the claims are expected to further fuel and to rein in rhetoric that television has ratcheted up after a bomb attacks targeted israelis in georgia and india and these are allies also called on the international community to impose paralyzing sanctions against iran in response to tehran demonstrating the progress of its atomic projects on wednesday well iran in turn says that it's one hundred percent ready to resume six party talks and his controversial program she islamic state insists. it's peaceful about concerns that israel might strike terror nuclear facilities grow some experts believe that such an attack would only achieve full scale confrontation. with the
9:10 am
real problem here is that there is this escalation towards this military action that's not going to actually take out the nuclear capabilities of iran if israel bombs iran it sets the program back a couple years and then they have to go in and bomb again and then have to go in and bomb again and you just have this cycle really the end of the day this in full scale occupation total war there's no clean right that happens this is if this happens it's the beginning of a long confrontation that really it's going to make you rock in afghanistan look like a cakewalk and it's going to plunge us into a very long term military engagement. meanwhile terror on house to spill and stopping oil supplies to some east states geo t.v. extremely cold winter in europe well the measure had long been contemplated in response to the blocks of bargo on a rainy and crude exports due to come into force in july but the founder of the trans research institute charles a leftist says imposing such sanctions in the first place is equal to a declaration of war well here's
9:11 am
a taste of his interview coming up in full later this hour. the united states again with the national defense authorization act part of that was that president obama affectively has declared war against iran the latest legislation put sanctions on foreign companies dealing with iranian banks defectively putting in a bar go. wrong it's an act of war go back to world war two it's like when the united states stopped japan for being able to buy oil now the iranians can't sell it if they lose just twenty percent of their of their ability to sell oil you're looking at this sixty percent of their g.d.p. comes from. you're putting about a business. a greece has fulfilled the last conditions demanded by the e.u.
9:12 am
an exchange for the second bailout but still there is no rush in brussels to release further aid as the decision has been postponed until monday pushed through final caught some say and committed to a written promise to stick to their city plan after elections however frustration is growing among greek and other european politicians the greek president lashed out at the e.u. questioning what right countries like germany holland and finland have to criticize out that. brussels is trying to bring out that is to heal. what the e.u. is now doing it's trying to influence the outcome of the greek general election not satisfied with getting rid of the last democratically elected prime minister and putting in a puppet in the form of mr papademos it now says it's now saying to the greek people unless you vote for the right party is unless you vote for parties that are happy to be subjugated do you control we will not give you the rest of the money and you will go bankrupt i suspect that despite the dissatisfaction that is felt by
9:13 am
many german politicians i think the german parliament just as the greek parliament did last sunday will continue to toe the line and continue to say the bailout so the answer as far as i'm concerned it's rather like saving the cancer and not saving the patients we saw one of the commissioners. commissioners netty cruz said the other day that if greece left it wouldn't be a man overboard situation so even at the top there is now a crack beginning to appear and very interesting really what i've seen in the european parliament is for the first time in years we're hearing real criticism and the big socialist criticism is that these austerity cuts are damaging living standards to such an extent that they now want to acceptable so i'm beginning you know i'm not the lone voice anymore in this place that these policies are mad. well the assertive measures accepted by greece in the face of public outrage have had the health care system of pensioners and public sector workers and while the human

cost of cuts skeets rising nato secretary-general anders fogh rasmussen heads to athens to secure the country's military spending the nation has one of the largest military budgets compared to its g.d.p. with only the u.k. spending more as artie's jake agrees reports the nato chief visit to greece suggests the military may remain largely in u. . flamini athens has been a battleground in recent years fighting against unpopular stare to sunday's events to show there's little hope for a cease fire one shot being fired by those discontent is a discrepancy in spending when it comes to the military something serving m.p.'s from a defense of our relations with turkey remain for some as ever present a threat as a current debt crisis nato park most don't seem very keen to help us not to need to spend so much i mean think about it really have been through we are being threatened from a member of the alliance that we belong and the alliance doesn't do anything. so we
9:15 am
have to spend huge amounts of money but there's the nato chief arise in athens the talks other things may be on the table among them weapons for cure meant i believe that means there is a kind of negotiation if i may say sure between our major partners which are germany of course france. if we spend a little bit more on you procurement of course that major part probably to function general jim france since the major credit of the last talks remain afloat another threat looms it bimini spite that what we've been advised to do is to sell copies of medicine relations of patients are being forced to put their hand in their pockets for treatment yes this problem persists in other hospitals i've worked in dimitri's account comes in the back of cuts slashed medical staff pay a letter desperate shortage of equipment including affordable prescription drugs
9:16 am
this is the very human face the term austerity measure and increasing number of people can't find the treatment need in the current health care system and desperation to turn to aid agencies like this regime nova care into athens immigrant population the midday queue at this center shows just how sort. after the treatment is first of all you see more and more people coming to us that are those that we might see up to three hundred people and the numbers of the greeks are increasing the present many greeks remain too ashamed of the situation to be filmed those wanting to be heard paint a grim picture of. greece cannot recover from what's going on right now if you ask me greece is finished. it's a situation that has a country verging on implosion all during a time of peace not war but once a nation remains sick cats have
9:17 am
a real damaging impact on the people's well being despite the sizable military defenses protecting them do you agree. that it's. well it's been no secret that from the onset of the euro crisis germany has spearheaded that you use a stair to drive the original argument was that cuts were necessary in pain a consequence when next hour the issue gets the kaiser treatment with max and stacey. germany's carthaginian terms for greece now ambrose evans pritchard of the telegraph says the last time germany needed a bailout from world creditors it secured better terms and shattered greece last week so in one nine hundred fifty three recall there was a london debt agreement whereby creditors for all of germany's debt agreed to take a fifty percent haircut on german debt yeah well this is interesting isn't it a bit of a double standard here the germans got a huge break on the debt back in one nine hundred fifty three other countries.
