international news in comment live from moscow this is r.t. with you twenty four hours a day syria has condemned the latest set of sanctions it's facing the country's foreign minister says economic pressures only leading to greater suffering for the already beleaguered population officials are hailing the success of a referendum on a new constitution over the weekend but on choose day alone dozens have been reported killed across the country the u.n. says more than seven and a half thousand civilians have died since march. is in damascus for. french foreign minister in a speech to the un human rights council on monday in geneva where syria is dominating the agenda has said that the time is common for president bashar assad as well as other syrian officials both civilian and military to face justice for crimes against their people france wants to see the regime before the international

criminal court and urges for preparations to start the draft resolution of the un human rights council condemns widespread and systematic violations of human rights and other freedoms here in syria the economic pressure from these national community to the regime is also increasing the e.u. has he damascus with its toughest set of sanctions yet they include more asset freezes against officials and impose restrictive measures on the country's central bank it's also maintaining support for the syrian opposition recognizing the syrian national council as a legitimate representative of the syrian people seeking for democratic changes recently russia's prime minister vladimir putin has said that meddling into other states affairs may lead to foreign intervention has also stressed that. and attempts to put democracy by force may and very often does the opposite affect. qatar and saudi arabia and leading calls to start officially arming the rebels amid reports that's already happening covertly goes

a brace prefer sort of. the syrian crisis will backfire on the gulf states. as long as the west and america and conspiratorial countries are not happy with the performance of the syrian government they are going to create trouble for their people and it's to give the people for more action against the regime and against syria because of its role in this part as a power which is opposing there's an ad which is a bit of the policies of the not states of america of the west what's happening to syria probably would spread to go to so with the idea about a cut out. simply because their own people are not happy about the conspiracies of the about that which they play in this part of the word. still ahead this. police report suspicious activity. individuals of united states who seek to carry out acts of terrorism don't assume it was left by accident if you see something say something. we track the influence of big brother on american life as

people are encouraged to keep an eye on everything and everyone. of them lose friends the israeli way its neighbors begin losing patience over the country's anti iran rhetoric. those stories still to come for you but first the world bank has a sobering forecast for the future of china's economy it produced a report saying without reform the globe's second biggest economy will suffer a major slowdown over the next twenty years with major consequences for the whole world well let's get more on this from author and international consultant he joins me live from brussels in argentina so the world bank has warned china faces a major economic slowdown in the next two decades warning of a global impact yet what sort of effect could that have then. i don't think that would be the case china is doing something very soul of they aren't allowing the

world bank or the united states or anybody else to force them to revalue their currency people must understand that when countries have all revalued local currencies it becomes very difficult for them to export and it's very easy for them to import so they become markets and what that's what happens for example in my country of argentina permanently overvalues its local currency so that it can export with great difficulty the difficulty it can import very easily and so we become a market we become invented in us the others and the locally overvalued currency makes it easy to buy dollars so that we can pay foreign debt china versus what any intelligent sovereign country should do which is exactly the opposite they have an undervalued currency or they're just a little slow to its real and true value so that they can export a lot and they do not yet become a mass market for this product so in a way i think that the chinese are doing the right thing i think that they are

continuing to grow and of course this raises many concerns in america britain and the european union basically you're all dollars on because they would like to see countries are doing the things they want to do as argentina brazil and many other countries do but china will just mark told that along i read analysis from various commentators saying china is a ticking time bomb it is indeed heading for collapse so there's no reason then from your point of view to suggest there is a possible economic slowdown in china in the next twenty years they might have a slowdown but in the sense that as countries run deeper in and deeper into economic turmoil they will import less so naturally the european union even the united states will be importing less chinese whereas and that will have its impact on the chinese economy but i think that the chinese have shown themselves to be quite shrewd and they will. just the relationship between the currency and other currencies based on needs and not based on american need just briefly though the

chinese people themselves will may be benefiting from this economic. obviously improvement and benefit from this definitely don't forget that china has a system it is a bubble system the globe the very rich coastal areas have become capital this didn't but in practical effect but the hinterland is still staunchly communist and what the chinese are doing very shrewdly is they are ticking time decades of time even planning future cities which are being built and just left for the future so that as this progresses through the decades they will be able to incorporate a group or part of a greater share of the population into this new system but they are doing it at various speed and they are doing it based on the euro needs and not based on american or other you're style or a euro zone requirements and needs china of course part of those emerging group of economies known as the brics should those other countries be concerned at all about

the future or they looking very solid indeed those of the likes of obviously brazil russia india and south africa. but we have to be very careful because the whole concept of brics is not something that we invented for example latin america or china or south africa or india but it was something that goldman sachs invaded so in a way it's very dangerous to bring from the point of view of the bankers who try to lump one series of countries here they lump another series of countries there are the brics countries are very different amounts and solve the lead china is very different from brazil brazil has an overvalued currency for example south africa is very different from india so i think that each of these countries has to do its own thing so to speak at their own time based on their own national interest and they should really lend death ears to the national interest of the europeans and the national interest of the united states sure we can talk but the key issue and i think china is in russia are the prime examples the key issue for every country is its own national interest and not the national interest of circumstantially

powerful hegemonic like the united states and some of the countries in the european union but nevertheless as a group of economies will we see further influence from those brics countries in comparison to what we've just been talking about the u.s. for example absolutely if anything the pentagon is probably a good reference point you know that starting in the year twenty seventeen america's greatest enemy or potential enemy is china because it will be the largest economy so knowing that economy very often calls the shots i think of the pentagon planners all over are not in the economic field they know very well what the future has in store and they are probably the only long term one of the worst in the world the chinese however would the news of experience have been long term planners for a very long time a drink and to talk to you thanks very much indeed for joining us live there in what is ours adrian salvucci that thanks a lot. still ahead for you this hour here are three cashflow controversy.

india wants to be treated as a world power india wants to be treated with equal india doesn't want to be treated any more as a little child being told by mother how to do things the u.k. sent a steady stream of money to india while cutting public spending at home even though india says it doesn't even want the cash. but first the un's atomic agency says it can't conclude whether iran is trying to build a nuclear bomb because tehran refuses to cooperate but the countries and voice of the i.a.e.a. has questioned the agency's impartiality and says its influence by the u.s. in an exclusive interview to r.t. got filled in the blanks over iran's nuclear program following the recent visit of the inspectors and here's a brief preview for you. they are warning that couple of current does include the united states is trying to run the d.n.c. so that they can dictate from washington what d.n.r. should do and that is why we do not permit such

a thing to occur and that is the whole issue that the agency as a professional organization should do its work and that is why you see they make meet so many noses here and there they do not let the agency to do its work and that is why we want to expect all countries including russia and others and i am very pleased that last meeting in fact russia and china ambassadors along with a hundred counties of nonaligned movement all together questioned what had happened in fact namely the release of confidential information that we need the mobilization of member states to prevent something happening in vienna which did you raise. that is what we need but i went on. full interview with ambassador in about twenty minutes from here on. when israel which has been threatening to attack iran's nuclear sites now says if it does

strike it will do so without warning officials in israel say they will keep washington in the dark to avoid it being involved israel worried about rising instability on its borders is building a security barrier among its from today with egypt to keep militants and migrants out and as a teaser the initial reports that's a sign that danger may look much closer. love their neighbors as the biblical saying goes but in the case of israel there is not much love lost between the jewish state and the country's closest to it while authorities in jerusalem fiercely feyerick is a she said iran some wonder if in their empty tehran frenzy they may have overlooked other troubles brewing much closer to home. the reasons certain semi euphoria in israel are the result hostile activity there is no terrorist activity. other than the hamas. the gaza strip.

in fact the post conflict has long been a source of problems for the israeli government but recently seems the issue has all but been forgotten some believe this blinkered approach may end up having dire and explosive consequences for israel with the rise of islamic tendencies in the wake of the arab spring states which until now have been tacitly benevolent to what israel may do it turned around in fact such changes already evident in egypt the muslim brotherhood which holds the majority of seats in the parliament has already threatened to break peace accord but this israel has a response of pressure from the us. and. it's even worse egypt when they go tremendous changes egypt will stand behind hamas one day hamas may attack israel as it did in the. two thousand and eight the question is how would egypt such a conflict i think is an imminent threat iran is not an imminent threat.

but could also be an imminent threat some believe is the situation in syria which seems to go from bad to worse with every passing day. of control by centralism in the mess because. of the presence of terrorist groups that operate the good steve israel meanwhile israel's most placid neighbor jordan may seem to be a bedrock of stability but experts say that isn't so because the media the neighbor to be used it's a pantry that israel has. peace relationship with it also has the longest border with and i think it is most vulnerable to. destabilizing influences from almost everywhere else spillover from syria spillover from iraq there are very serious problems and one look at the map is enough to show that israel's position in the real. could be described as potentially problematic at best however israeli

authorities seem to be less concerned with reinforcing good relations with neighbors or preparing for those relations to worsen instead of the absolutely continue to confront iran with the word of words. in tel aviv he didn't r.t. while on our website r.t. dot com reports the behind closed doors discussions between israel and senior u.s. officials that israel saying it won't give the us a heads up on any potential attack on iran to shield washington from possible also at the moment. the taliban have been leaving a nasty taste in american mouths trading guns for poison nato certainly believes so far not one dot com. joining forces three out of the five russian presidential hopefuls have met for a new type of debate being grilled by journalists instead of fighting with each other that are much more for you dawtie dot com.

the. presidential authorization for the military to detain terrorist suspects without charge or trial has left americans wary washington says it's beefing up national security as part of the war on terror but critics say fear mongering is dividing not uniting the nation not reports. the united states of america is home to over three hundred thirty million people we are a country known for freedom. that was then this is today good stuff in. kenya sure report suspicious activity of the already the land of liberty is fast becoming known as the land of fear and suspicion there are individuals of the united states who seek to carry out acts of terrorism

a post nine eleven slogan born in new york city has been adopted nationwide don't assume it was left by accident if you see something say something this see something say something american campaign depicts terrorist scenarios and encourages members of the public to keep watch on well other members of the public according to f.b.i. pamphlets distributed to local businesses potential terrorist activity indicators include always paying with cash wearing backpacks and baggy clothes and the discreet and prolonged use of cameras for note taking even the cybercafe owners are encouraged to keep watch on any customers overly concerned with privacy even just trying to shield your screen from others can make you a suspect. questioning government policies or making anti-war statements can also land citizens on the u.s. watch list as of two thousand and nine the u.s.

defense department categorizes public protests as low level terrorism and we live in a military dominated society. of the people or on or. perish with a threat you know on nine eleven is cruel never. has been exploited and. sustained by encouraging a state of public surveillance some new yorkers accuse the government of fostering more paranoia than security but we are going i was saying. oh yeah that's all it is just because someone is paying cash to me you know that they're terrorists the weather is watching yeah no i don't agree with that at all it's too far reaching the n.y.p.d. under fire again for its intelligence gathering campaign involving the muslim americans. and illegal surveillance scandal erupted in the big apple after police officers were caught spying on mosques and muslim communities according to the associated press thousands were under surveillance with no evidence or even

allegations of criminal behavior we have to keep this country safe this is a dangerous place many in the u.s. fear that with america's escalating definition of suspicious activity the government's expanding powers remain the biggest threat to the people security. r.t. new york. so more world news in brief for you this hour a very nearly turned ninety minutes past the hour in the russian capital government opened fire on a bus in northern pakistan killing eighteen and injuring servant the victims were from the country's minority community the ambush happened in a mountainous religion a district dominated by sunday tribes the taliban has claimed responsibility for an explosion of a chemical plant in northern china has left thirteen dead and forty others injured the blast flat nearby buildings and shattered windows and surrounding houses that's caused by the incident could be felt in several nearby villages in the plant specialize in making chemicals to fuel space rockets. facelifts and police in riot

gear have cleared the occupy camp in london courtroom and allowed the some paul's cathedral side to be taken down twenty arrests were made as protesters try to prevent bayless from moving in the demonstrators have been camped out since mid october it was one of the largest surviving sites of the occupy movement against corporate greed. or london's occupy demonstrators may have been sent home but a new wave of nationwide protests could be on the way taxpayers a make you know voice is heard angry that foreign aid is still sent to india while public spending has been cut at home and despite new delhi dismissing the handouts as peanuts the cash keeps flowing for smith reports. whoever wins these street gets a used to the pounding of feet with demonstrations large and small a regular sight don't spend our money on foreign wars don't cost our public

services these people are saying but although the government insists the cupboard is. still sending millions to india one of the fastest growing economies in the world is absolutely crazy really and foreign aid of course is one of the few areas of the u.k. purchase actually increasing substantially if the next three or four years they could make a huge difference if it was for example spent on tax cuts for low paid workers or you could make a huge economic difference if it was spent. to be. free to go. and just. billion dollars. to india which now has more than britain and the indian economy will grow by seven percent this year compared to a measly one percent here it's already got the ninth largest gross domestic product in the world and it's got the space program immense wealth rubbed shoulders with

crippling poverty though and defenders of the aid program point to india's six hundred million poor people living on less than two dollars a day the government says the aid is carefully targeted investment into education for women and children and helping the private sector create jobs and growth it is wrong to portray this as an indiscriminate amount of money being given to the indian government who could go and spend it on. space or indeed other things this is a very concentrated. talked today programme and i think on that basis it is being targeted at some of the poorest people in the world. i'm happy to defend the aids concentrated on the three poorest states in india but if the government things that'll help it reach its goal experts say it's mistaken the problem is. particularly also got some of the worst problems with corruption and

poll governance in india i mean it's one of the reasons there is a still struggling status because they have a very bad government so the idea that somehow this is going to be different this time it is different though if only in the fact that the indians have said they do even want the eight the foreign ministers dismissed the monies paid us and the recent decision to buy french rather than british fighter jets shows the cash doesn't even matter according to indian journalist may have he says it's up to the four hundred million wealthy indians to help their impoverished country men not patronize ing post-imperial britain we are showing how good we are this is the way to do it and this is what you should be doing in fact it produces the opposite effect it makes them resentful it makes them feel they're not taking indian seriously india wants to be treated as a world india wants to be treated with equal india doesn't want to be treated any more as a little child being told by mother how to do things within

a decade economists predict india will take in the case become the world's largest economy while british great stagnate its time stay commentates is for britain to build relations with the new powerful india before the eight days to start flowing in the other direction. r.t. . let's head to the markets now. is the stuff you've got the latest of today's haul is the lows then yes hello bill it's been a topic trading session throughout the globe and we can see what's happening in the united states right now wall street open lower after week reports of factory orders and home prices but as now slowly try. in the black europe has seen a choppy trade as well the footsie and the dax in the black and even session but the fresh spanish deficit concerns are keeping investors on guard and it's not a good day for the russian markets as well of r.t.s.

in my eyes it's lost over a percent we can see it on the screen right now energy stocks are the main drag as oil which is russia's main export earnings is trading lower let's check on the major movers here after was over half a percent in the red and gasp from was down. it was down under a percent and bank lost over one percent as well. now to another use of foreign investment into russia grew by sixty six percent in two thousand and eleven that's according to russian accounting standards and staying with energy russia's natural gas industry is ready to welcome a new major player become trees a largest oil company state owned is to set up a joint venture with terror that's an independent gas producer business artie's might have the latest on that. this partnership means the two companies will work together on strengthening their position on the gas market but now as

a single entity its era which was of course the first private company to produce and supply gas in russia is now handing over for all of its assets and this collaboration will lead to the production of over forty billion cubic meters of gas a year amounts in reserves of over one trillion cubic meters of gas these companies claim this will increase not only their reserves but profits and capitalization and also it doesn't exclude the possibility of adding its own assets to the company in the future but after a moment it seems their main priority is to increase their potential and influence on the gas markets. and stay with natural gas european bank for reconstruction and development has denied ukraine a loan to modernize its gas transportation system the bank says it cannot lend money to a company which is posting losses and needs structural reforms now let's check on oil futures pulls back from

a recent surge that threatens global economic recovery but prices are still high. as there is continuing concern over middle east supply now let's check on the current sees the euro's gaining against most of the current season that's up to germany's parliament approved greece's bailout package that is concern over the u. of debt the russian currencies extending previous gains against the dollar now trading at twenty nine to the greenback but it's still quite quite low against the euro trading at thirty nine well that's all for me this hour stay with us for headline news coming up next. you're.
