restructuring in history takes hold to me in twenty minutes to the business for the so. what should i think i'm going to live from moscow i'm marina joshie welcome to the program. the syrian national council has called for military intervention by arab and western states as well as the establishment of a no fly zone across the country the opposition has also decided to arm the rebels admitting some foreign governments were sending weapons all this comes as un security council foreign ministers met to try to break the deadlock in syria reports of ongoing violence. for it's from new york. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov did address the media following the meeting saying that the u.n. security council should be guided by the basic principles and interests of the syrian people he said there has to be an immediate end to the violence and

a cease fire is an absolute must but he said one point of view will not prevail within the security council their hostage be compromised there has to be some concessions made for all parties to agree on the text of a resolution the u.s. and european countries have been pushing for regime change in syria over the past at least half a year russia and china have used their veto powers on two separate occasions because they said they would not support regime change in syria or for any other country for that matter they said syria should not be a repeat of what took place in libya mr laufer when he was that addressing the media also said that when it came to resolution surrounding libya they were violated and language was undermined russia would not loud that to happen again but mr lover of said that russia is committed to supporting a resolution that would call for immediate humanitarian assistance in to syria but

he rejected accusations that russia is the sole country that could solve the problem in syria could make everything get better or worse he did address his critics when it came to this issue take a listen but there's not all this when people say there's a risk that givens and wish i would love to see such situations with the russians and the russians and the world this is. i would also like you know to hold that the united states can legitimately resolve the middle east crisis the arab israeli conflict or. drug trafficking from against what we understand that today's troops over there will. can that be resolved by the desire for it's you wanted systems action by one country illegal you have the u.s. and european allies trying to get text in any resolution that puts the blame on one

side of the conflict in syria the assad government and that is not something that russia or china will support if it's a draft resolution that's strictly solely focusing on humanitarian assistance that will most likely push through. the u.s. and its allies are reportedly considering what they call all options in syria including military invasion alastair garber foreign editor and the you know kind of newspaper says if western states decide to intervene it will bring even more chaos no it was very reluctant for them so not least because it's a hugely difficult conflict groups more difficult and of course the criticism that has come under after the libyan conflict. as it has been has been pretty harsh you know i mean how many more people have to die well you know the question of military intervention is only really been raised since the siege and the appears to be in a massacre in home sort of the last sort of six weeks or so so i think it's still very much a moving moving issue and one that will probably result in the coming week. the

courage of the syrian conflict has led to staff resignations at al-jazeera the arabic language channel those who left blame the qatari own network for politicizing use and being biased against president a broadcaster is also accused of silence over massive anti-government protests in bahrain artist policy or no reports of disease setting the news agenda setting the news agenda state bias that channel once held it as a mouthpiece of freedom and change is fast becoming an instrument of political pressure and propaganda has been ongoing since last april in two thousand and eleven there senior people from the you know the head of the church of the bureau and many other people quit because of the biased coverage and and out right into the government and declaring an authorial policy over libya and now syria when he quit a year ago the head of the bureau said the channel had abandoned professional and objective reporting claiming it has become an operation room for incitement and

mobilization and it is you have to believe that al-jazeera and other channels were not balanced in dealing with the events all are responsible for instance with respect to the events in syria in bahrain we started to invite guests from america who only criticize the regime in syria and support the regime in bahrain and persons who justify nato intervention this is unacceptable. set up fifteen years ago al-jazeera is owned by the state of qatar its english language spinoff and launched in november two thousand and six three english channel when it was set up was already assumed tended to be a much softer version of the arabic trammell and the channel i think was largely set out to. show show very clearly there were a few critical programs compared to arabic go to zero but it seems now both are working in tandem the channel is seen as. widely influential in the middle east

watch my some sixty million people it's been voided by the recent arab uprisings but critics claim it's increasingly become a tool of qatari and western policies and views it's very disturbing to hear all jazeera as well are becoming this regional player for a foreign policy in a way that. would arguably say the b.b.c. and others have been for decades where does the arabic is covered be a story of syria is completely one sided. a charge backed up by another al-jazeera staffer who complained via e-mail that his bosses refused to publish pictures of armed fighters clashing with the syrian army before margin zero they would correspondent to the channel also ignored a referendum on a new constitution in syria as for libya leaked reports suggest that some of the channels coverage and set up some tripoli were fake. last year the channel was miraculously granted access to the american media market after initially been

banned in the united states word is that american officials absorbed how influential al-jazeera was in covering the arab spring but it's raised a number of our brows and given weight to those critics who say the channel's changed its tune begging the question with al-jazeera as a once revolutionary voice has been drowned out by and now to noise the agenda of its sponsors r.t. contacted al-jazeera as head office but the channel was unavailable for comment policy r t television. political columnist former contributor to al-jazeera towards the why he was suddenly stopped from writing for it. the politics of the channel were changing with the word from on high that leftist and progressive voices such as mine were not going to be as welcomed anymore and that i didn't need to submit anymore ownership is always influential i was surprised when i first heard about

that ownership there was they seem to have such a hands off policy obviously the guitar is that decided could shape the picture of the news a little more than we used to that's always a mistake al-jazeera really did give voice to stories and personalities that words are getting heard elsewhere and now those views and those personalities are no longer being heard and coming out on our t.v. paying for dad's security to get right off and bail out back in from the euro zone what is left by your by problems like illegal immigration law. the tragic shooting of afghan civilians by a soldier has prompted a raft of apologies and reassurances from u.s. officials president obama says there is no rush for the ark and troops to leave due to the murderous and nato insists it was an isolated incident but the afghans and many americans are not convinced as parties can actually count reports.

sixteen innocent afghan villagers slaughtered in cold blood nine of them children u.s. officials are going out of their way to present the american surgeon to apparently committed the massacre as just one bad apple. this incident is tragic and shocking and does not represent the exceptional character of our military and the respect that the united states has for the people of afghanistan this is not who we are in no way does he represent. the ethics and morality of the american serviceman and service woman and i think afghans understand that but afghans don't seem to be buying that at all. the rage and humiliation felt by afghan people appear to be way beyond what apologies can make up for they've heard them all before in the last few months all too often and each one very similar to the next just weeks ago the white house apologized for the burning of the copies of the

koran by u.s. troops an incident that triggered a surge of violence this was a deeply unfortunate incident that does not reflect the great respect our military has for the religious practices of the afghan people and weeks before that in january apologies again over footage showing u.s. marines urinating on dead afghans these actions do not represent the values of the vast majority of coalition forces of their nations honorably contrary to what u.s. officials say some analysts believe that those incidents are symptomatic of how the military operation in afghanistan works it is increasingly the case that this is looking like. a brutal occupation which is killing laws on provide. afghans film so i was humiliated insulted and what instance like this will be regarded as symbolic of exactly what is wrong with the american occupation it is an absolutely cynical operation to say that they can keep the fleet in afghanistan for another

three years how many more people will die how many more instances like this the only solution to this is to bring the troops home and for these for these governments to stop means of a name in countries where they have absolutely no rights when the very copious apologists handed out by the administration don't seem in. even to appease war critics back home let alone the afghan people but what about the whole idea of in aiding a country occupying a country and disturbing their country creating hundreds of thousands of refugees and suffering this it ever get to a point where about the qur'an is rather minor to some of the other problems that we have ever created the taliban has vowed it will take revenge and analysts expect a fresh surge of violence children shot in the head we know slaughtered it's incidents like the latest soldiers rampage in afghanistan that extremists of all kinds used to it new people to their ranks those new recruits go out to kill not

even the most heartfelt apologies can change the minds of people that said on revenge it becomes a vicious circle that breeds even more danger spreading far beyond the borders of afghanistan i'm going to shift our reporting from washington. now we can talk to holly newry who is a co-founder of new world strategist coalition is in town for now a military solution in afghanistan mysterious thanks very much indeed for being with us here in the program well let's talk about the reputation of the united states and its troops in afghanistan do you think it's beyond repair at this point . i really think it's a very heightened time and very stressful time for both for the americans as well as for the afghans what we see here is there is a need repair it all depends on how it goes on like if we stay if the if we're going to see another of these things going to happen on either side from down get

inside of the afghan national army for example in the training centers or what the americans just just disintegration of it just yesterday and today we thought to say ok it's going to be something good going to be beyond repair if this continues. but if it's a slows down it's a combat will it really can diminish and slowly will will be for forgot that i mean they won't they won't go wash away but at least have no choice i mean what are they going to do are they going to be inviting to tell it was a come over and then we're going to have exactly what it was in between two thousand between one thousand nine hundred six and two thousand and one we can see the same atrocities what we saw before no one cares we're not going to go back there. well given that the u.s. and nato are withdrawing into the air time so how much have the u.s. and nato actually done for the locals and do they care what the law was actually

think about them. of course i mean. let's put it this way you have all closer eighteen hundred americans are dead in afghanistan and you have years of sweat and hard work is put into them in enough in afghanistan so. in return americans or aren't going to be here and lisa thank you i mean i mean we have to be honest about what they have worked really hard to bring afghanistan. back to his feet you know still they have a long ways to go where it was going to son. prior to sort invasion. we're not going to get there soon. afghans will definitely have to say thank you to americans one way or another yes well the biggest challenge i

guess is stabilizing a country stabilizing afghanistan and integrating a taliban into the political system of the country is a way to do that. that's a very good question however what we see here is that there is to it a tease. in my perception a trial censure you thinking. a group of people. commingling with a corrupt government of hamid karzai. it's going to be a very hard marriage it's going to be a bumpy marriage work what's going to come out of it we have no idea on how to get you on in one lion's den you cannot have two lines you cannot have built a taller bonds india into afghan government to rule it's not going to be very very easy all right hi louis from new york world strategies coalition thanks very much

indeed for sharing your review of us here on our team. much needed rescue cash will finally starts flowing into greek office later this month as the eurozone group clears away for a one hundred thirty billion euro bailout however the international monetary fund has yet to confirm its part in the deal greece has implemented the biggest debt right here on in history through a bond swap deal with its private creditors your group has given an optimistic prediction on its debts level saying it could to climb more than previously expected crisis hit spain has been allowed a bigger budget deficit for this year but it's expected to push through thirty billion euros in cuts your m.p. paula tal believes southern european countries should exit the currency union. this is in serious trouble i mean you just want to look at the amount of people who are out from the streets demonstrating at the moment suicide rates are up but minimum

wage can cause there's much homelessness in our country at the moment and all the european union is doing. is it's encouraging the cradle of civilization to head towards revolution because that's what will happen if we continue with these austerity measures there's only one answer nothing comes out of the all together for the drachma value such as own exchange rates or the comparisons of level get its exports moving the idea that greece spain portugal and all these meds draining countries could exist within the same eurozone as a country like germany was completely farcical from the. reset it really predicted this it was impossible article where the only way that this thing can move on is for probably the nordic countries to form their own eurozone and for this little country to fall out altogether to go back home for good on couldn't but i think what you will see is heaven forbid you might see a shift of the far right if they continue down this line because people are very unhappy and these are not just one happy about the economic problems but they're also unhappy about open door immigration policies which seem to be promoted by the

european union so i think you will probably see a euro skeptic right across northern europe in particular trip aboard the european elections in two thousand and fourteen and i just don't know what's going to happen in the southern european states because maybe in greece it's gone beyond that maybe you will have the revolution because people are very very unhappy and. i was driving voices have already started sounding from the top france's president sarkozy built his reelection on and say migration rhetoric and he has threatened to pull out of the framework treaty if the e.u. doesn't find the problem but it's impoverished greece that's bearing the brunt of the illegal immigrants as are these jake agreed to reports. illegal immigration is an issue facing the whole of the u. but in the midst of a reelection campaign french president nicolas sarkozy has singled out as one france can't tolerate there's been no to climb in the number of refugees knocking on your door was many originating from war torn countries where nato members have

been embroiled as an influx that is cute we've built in bextra greece. and from afghanistan the numbers have increased in reality it's one of the nationalities we have the biggest problem with there are a lot of people who are trying to cross the turkish borders to come into greece there was a border stretches one hundred twenty miles most of it guarded by the ever us river through this channel fifty five thousand people reached greece in two thousand and ten alone a sizeable chunk of the estimated hundred thousand seeking refuge in the country every year and desperation greek authorities code on european border guards to help police the area but now they're searching for more concrete alternative erecting six miles of razor wire along the shores land border. it's very cost effective because two hundred people cross the border every day even if we cut half of them

that means a lot for a country plagued by financial problems and we shouldn't forget there greece's european territory as the country's economic woes worsen they still receive a daily influx of new people to the country to make matters worse seven zero solution is to a european problem but one that has little e.u. backing the european commission has ruled against the fence regardless of where its flags flying they join a number of domestic human rights groups who just spite greece's position as a gateway to europe stand opposed to the building of a fence still there rose wall is one such organization we spoke to a member who wished to remain anonymous. really expands and can mean there is a he's delusional in the consistency of the construction a number of those killed trying to increase for example what happened in the us mexico border but with greece on its knees few in the country seem willing to take

to the streets to denounce the wall indeed even among those who have to pour it into mentation great to flow appears to be how the e.u. as a body tackled illegal immigration problem through argument by itself which says that whoever comes up with you again has been said but to a pantry where he first or she first entered the european union the use of your grease which is unfair for an entry point like riis. this sea has long cared for refugees in athens it needs it and it was there now have the streets resources to treat greeks as well as the quality of life it is for moving around the recall thirty's a place in great faith in bricks and mortar and razor wire but many conclude it's a project that once turned out to considerable strains with the real building blocks to a solution the reason has a greater share of greece's heavy burden degrees c. athens. oh there's plenty to grab your attention on our web site r t dot com said

what a long ways and new weapon that could cook the crowd american military unveils its new people disbursing microwave can. have members of a con family as a banner made up blasphemous performance at a alter of russia's main cathedral are turning to see if i can get the full story at r.t. dot com. else take a look at some other stories from around the world israel and palestinian militants have agreed a ceasefire after four days of deadly violence and a gyptian official reports the truce was mediated by car at least twenty five gazans have been killed and thirty five israelis wanted by rocket attacks the fighting was sparked by israel killing a high ranking palestinian militants last week as the worst violence the region has seen and more than a year. and a mom has been killed in a blaze at a shia mosque near brussels the building was attacked with a petrol bomb and

a man died of smoke inhalation trying to extinguish the flames one other person was injured belgian police say a suspect will being an eye for an axe set the mosque on fire has been taken into custody. a ferry carrying around two hundred people has sunk in a river in the southern in southern bangladesh thirty five have been pulled out of the water but scores are missing as rescuers try to locate the boat unconfirmed reports suggest the ferry could have been hit by another vessel shipwrecks are common in the country at least one hundred people were killed last year in a similar accident. the un torture watchdog has slammed the us government for cruel and inhuman treatment of american soldier bradley manning has been held in custody without trial for nineteen months only officially being charged last month manning could face life in prison for leaking hundreds of secret military files to whistleblower website we can leaks and aiding the enemy. time now to take what's happening the world of business with katie katie what's

going on well what's going on marino it's all about grace it's the hot topic it's going to be dominating the trading floors investors are going to be talking about it in their eyes on it and that's after the finance ministers finally approved the country's second bailout of over one hundred seventy billion dollars now the talks fall agree swap and most which privately held bonds with new ones worth less than the whole of that original value and that's why a lot of people are calling it a d. fault even though it's not been actually saying it's a default but technically it is but it's having this about the bourses did remain steady and go asia open our salute see how they're faring this hour and we've seen sharp rises up we've got banks and commodity linked stocks performing rather strongly we still got a relatively weak yen as well so that's helping the nikkei in japan they're exporters are certainly showing their appreciation for that prices are indeed our

presence saying commodities in general are doing rather well tensions in the middle east are still proving to be pushing those prices higher. in the rest of the barcode is still fairly evident that we've got metals as well gold is climbing for a fourth day in five days and that's because we've got the federal open market committee meeting today will want to know if he's going to give us any signals as to whether we're going to have more easing or more about the ways an important factor for investors the russian market closed yesterday in the repairs it was a yo yo a day of trading throughout the session as you can see on the closing bell we saw the r.t.s. point four percent on the my so it's just in there get to that if we move on to the currencies we can see that the euro is trading lower against the u.s. dollar now the ruble is. also low against the euro and the u.s.

dollar and if we go over to the u.s. we can see that it was a mixed day of both the dow jones on the nights that post take a mixed picture of the news from china it was dominating investor sentiment but they posted their biggest trade deficit in over twenty years and if we look at the e.u. markets we can see that that was that news was having a domino effect how well far more just the gains are the foot so you're about to post to that point three percent are you easy markets would be marching very close to today as i say grace is the top topic and that's how the markets look at this hour we're talking about fifty five minutes join me then for another update.

see. if.
