the syrian opposition wants foreign military forces to step in and admits weapons are coming from abroad any order un security council needs to see if they can break the stalemate. the u.s. rushes to apologize for what it calls an isolated incident after an american soldier should sit down sixteen hours against most of them children face in washington is dwindling. and grease holders brass for rescue cash as the euro zone's financier is given the green light but the latter view how a mass like illegal immigration take its own nation. also involved is have opened

up a trading session in the black cars didn't stop because oil prices high all happy not to play physically at about twenty minutes time and opens in from. eleven am in the russian capital you're watching r t. 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 of this comes as un security council foreign ministers met to try to break the deadlock in syria and reports of ongoing violence are just right of course now reports 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 hostile 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 they're hostile be compromised their house to be 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 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 lockhart when he was a 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 with

a 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 could make everything get better or worse he did address his critics when it came to this issue take a listen it is not all those people say it's interested depends of us i would love to see such situations with the russians or the russians in the world this is and i would also like an old to hold that the united states unless you can resolve the middle east crisis the arab israeli conflict or. stalled draft resolution for all of that is what we all understand that today's problems of google. would be resolved by the desire if it's. within systems human action by one a little 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 show me what if it's a draft resolution that's strictly solely focusing on humanitarian assistance that will most likely push through right now for now reporting there and the u.s. and its allies are reportedly considering what they call all options in syria including military invasion i was third dollar foreign editor at the end of pan newspaper says if western states decide to intervene it will bring even more chaos . it was very reluctant to get involved in syria not least because it's a hugely difficult conflict works more difficult with libya and of course the criticism that is come under after the libyan conflict. has been has been pretty harsh you know i mean how many more people have to go well you know the question of military intervention is only really been raised. he. appears to be in a more secure home sort of the last of the six weeks or so so i think it's still

very much a moving moving issue or morning that will probably result in the coming weeks. the coverage of the syrian conflict has led to staff resignations algy zero's arabic language channel those who left blame the guitar the own network for politicizing news being biased against president asad the broadcaster is also accused of silence over a massive anti-government protest in bahrain are these polls leader now reports. all dizzy and that's certainly the news agenda setting the news agenda for being the state bias channel once held it is a mouthpiece of freedom and change it's fast becoming an instrument of political pressure and propaganda that's been ongoing since last april when you know of two thousand and eleven there senior people for 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 hand of the government and dictating its oriel policy over libya and now syria when he quit

a year ago the head of the bureau says the channel had abandoned professional and objective reporting caning it has become an operation we can't fight meant and mobilization but it is you that you cannot as you 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 and i sit up fifteen years ago al jazeera is owned by the state of qatar it's english language spin off and launched in november two thousand and six three english channel when it was set up was always intended to be a much softer version of the arabic trammell and the channel i think was largely set out to appease the west and its coverage share show that very clearly there

were a few critical programs don't pay extra or because just iraq but it seems now both are working in tandem the channel is seen as widely influential in the middle east watched by some sixty million people it's been boid by the recent arab uprisings which critics claim it's increasingly become a tool of khatami and western policies and. it's very disturbing to hear al-jazeera is now the car. this regional player for a foreign policy in a way that some would argue he say the b.b.c. and others have been for decades the well jazeera arabic has covered the story of syria is completely one sided. a charge backed up by another al-jazeera staffer who complained by e-mail that his bosses refused to publish pictures of armed fighters clashing with the syrian army the formal jazeera beirut correspondent says the channel also ignored if arindam on a new constitution in syria as for libya

a leaked report suggests that some of the channels coverage and sit ups from 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 saw 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 bigging the question with al-jazeera as a once reason lucian every 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 callers here are to tell of. political columnist ted rall former contributor to al-jazeera told r.t. why he was suddenly stopped from writing for it. the politics of the channel were changed with the word from on high that leftist and progressive voices such as mine were not going to be this welcomed anymore and that i didn't need to submit

any mark ownership is always influential i was surprised when i first heard about that ownership they were they seem to have such a hands off policy obviously the qataris have decided could shape the picture of the news a little more than we used to that's always a mistake i'll just really did get a force two stories and personalities that were getting heard elsewhere and now those views and those personalities are no longer being heard. coming up on our t.v. paying for deaths gray's secure is a debt write off and they are backing from the euro zone but is left to fight a new wide problems like illegal immigration along. the murderous shooting of sixteen afghan civilians by u.s. soldier has prompted a raft of apologies energy surance us from u.s. officials president obama says there is no rush for american troops to leave

because of the killings and nato insists it was an isolated incident by the afghans and many americans are now convinced ask. before it's. 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 many 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 but he's actions do not represent the values of the vast majority of coalition forces who serve the nation's 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 a large number of afghans were afghans film selves humiliated insulted and instance like this will be regarded as

a symbolic of exactly what is wrong with the american not like it is an absolutely cynical operation to say that they don't think in afghanistan for another free how many more people will die how many more instances like this the only solution to this is to bring the troops out and then for these for these governments this opens of painting in countries where they have absolutely no rights when given copious apologies handed out by the administration don't seem even to appease war critics back home let alone the afghan people but what about the whole idea of in aiding a country and occupying a country and disturbing their cause. tree creating hundreds of thousands of refugees and suffering this it ever get to a point where apologizing about the qur'an is rather minor to some of the other problems that we have i have created the taliban has vowed it will take revenge and analysts expect a fresh surge of violence children shot in the head women slaughtered it's

incidents like the latest soldier's 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 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 archy. hundreds of students are holding a rally in eastern afghanistan following the u.s. soldiers murder a shooting spree and washington's apologies won't be enough to pacify the outrage says author michael o'brien. the thing about it is it's all words i believe these people or they're going to want to see action the afghan people it just makes sense that. and i know secretary clinton would make these statements but it's got to be it's got to be followed through the afghan people are going to expect that karzai

is not of a fan of our being over there and you know we keep pumping money into afghanistan and into his government probably into his pocket but you know you can only go so far we're supposed to be here for another two years and you've got near you know over ten years now and the afghan people when they rioted there for the qur'an burning they're sick of it they're sick of the whole plane but they're powerless they're powerless to do anything about it the average afghan and person is powerless the only ones who have any kind of power at all are the insurgents that are able to you know get guns and get bombs and blow people up we're not installing democracy in iraq is you can install democracy when it's have been the tribal system for thousands of years you can't all the sudden because the united states wants to say you know what we're going to be a democracy we're going to show you how here's the money i guess our will be able to manage so affairs after foreign troops leave in two years' time says the afghan finance minister. we often do not want the international

with and could be enough of them fighting for a. even in our longer needed from the video out we have to believe the prime responsibility of the world security should be just not to be given our forces because the truth of that is because we are part of afghan nation there will be much more effective in a much more positive influence for what is fifteen anomic thought that there is no doubt it will have some impact on already economy but there is no nation in the world with an indifferent rely on foreign aid. so when we are talking about transition we are not thinking only of. transition but also economic transition even if in the short term there is a downturn for the economy and the longer term if there will be with proper afghan institutions and with peace i think absolutely an economy that will be more sustainable didn't stop us. and what's the point real where the

finance minister in just an hour's time here. much needed rescue cash will finally start flowing into greek or first later this month as the eurozone group clears the way 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 now in history through bond swap deal with its private creditors the euro group chief has given optimistic prediction on its debt level saying it could decline more than previously except the crisis hit spain has been allowed a bigger budget deficit for this year but is expected to push through thirty billion euros in cuts here on p. palma top believe southern european countries should exhibit currency union. peace and serious trouble i mean you just got to look at the amount of people who are out on the streets demonstrating at the moment suicide rates are up the minimum wage is being called there's much homelessness in the 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 are the three measures there's only one ounce of response out of the all together for the drachma the values are to some exchange rate a comparison for the level get this exports moving the idea that greece spain portugal nobody's mediterranean countries can exist within the same eurozone as a country like germany was completely facile from the start. we said it will be we predicted this it was impossible article so the only way that this thing can move on is for probably the north or country form their own euro zone for this will increase the fallout of the government couldn't be i think what you will see is i haven't paid you might see a shift to the far right so if they continue down this line because people have very. little not just one happy about the economic problems but also unhappy about open door immigration policies which seem to be promoted by the european union so i

think you will probably see a you want to write it off more than your book 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 state because maybe in greece it's not beyond that maybe you will have revolution because people are very very unhappy and. those right away voices have already started sounding from the top in france as president sarkozy builds his reelection plan for on and immigration rhetoric he has threatened to pull out of the freeboard treaty if the e.u. doesn't buy the problem but it's impoverished greece that's bearing the brunt of the illegal immigrant inflow as artie's jake of greece now reports. illegal immigration is an issue facing the whole of the e.u. but in the midst of a reelection campaign french president nicolas sarkozy has singled out as one france can't tolerate as being the no to climb in the number of refugees knocking on your store with many originating from war torn countries where nato members have

been embroiled is an influx that is acutely felt in depth stricken greece was banned 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 goaded by the air force river through this channel fifty five thousand people reached greece in two thousand and ten alone a sizeable chunk of the estimated two hundred thousand seeking refuge in the country every year in desperation greek authorities coastal european border guards to help police the area but now they're searching for more concrete optionality of erecting six miles of razor wire along the shore flamm border. that's very cost effective because two hundred people cross the border every day so even if we could have 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 i still receive a daily influx of new people to the country to make matters worse ever post solution this to a european problem but one that has its own e.u. backing the european commission has ruled against the fence irregardless of where its flags flying they join a number of domestic human rights groups who despite polices position as a gateway to europe stand up close to the building of a fence so their bros wall is one such organization we spoke to a member who wished to remain anonymous a new delhi face plant consuming very species to show in the weapons inspection these are constructs that the number of those killed trying to cross the border increases like for example what happened in the us mexico border. both greece on its knees few in the country seem willing to take to the streets to denounce the wound indeed even among those who have to know

this into limitation the greater flow appears to be how the e.u. as a bully tackled illegal immigration a double income of human rights serf which says that whoever comes into your opinion is consent to a country where he first or she first then take the european union that means that the all about embrace which is unfair for an entry point like raise this aid agency has long cared for refugees and happens but it needs at the moment those the now have district resources to treat greeks as well as a quality of life is tumbling around them recall thirty's a place in great faith and bricks and mortar and razor wire but many conclude it supported no one stand up to be suitable strains with the real building blocks to a solution the reason that has a great ease share openly says heavy burden to greece athens i was trying to grab your attention on our web site r.t. dot com and move along please

already what's happening in the world of business well what's happening mary now i've got to tell you it is indeed. per usual but it's good news today because the country has cleared away for the second of over one hundred. billion dollars that's what they were hoping for from the e.u. ministers and all of these tales of this being that it's just what most of it's privately held with new ones now these new ones will be worth less and whole that original value which means as long people were calling it a default if you ask e.u. ministers or deny that there was no panic in the markets will go over to europe surely right now to stay closer to home and see how the russian markets are faring at this hour as you can see it's positive figures for you that we've got the r.t.s. up over of a stand in the my six point six percent they're benefiting from high or prices this hour. on so let's see how about getting on we've got our stocks as well you can see

which stocks are benefiting to the. gas from as well lou called all benefiting here in the russian the russian capital of moscow now moving on we're going to get over and see how asia is getting on the nikkei finished are they just about managed to hold on to their gains now we have the bank of japan and now saying the father they are going to keep interest rates on hold after loosening it last month as you can see the hang seng is still open for business with china over a percent in positive territory just bite that deficit of trade who are talking about over twenty years the largest the largest figure the largest trade deficit in over twenty years remarkable figure moving on and we're going to take a look and see how those other figures are saying as i was saying they are indeed high. tensions going on the involve a threat that is carrying on we had officials in in the. countries that produce the

most amount of saying that they do believe there is high on the needs to be reckoned with now moving on with the whole metals i getting on this our goal is no i mean for the fourth day in five as you can see all commodities are doing rather of august and that's because we're awaiting the federal reserve meeting that will be happening today. be introducing of easing we'll have to wait and see later on in the day we're checking those figures out the u.s. figures and all the cars you're is now losing value against the u.s. dollar the ruble is gaining against the greenback and the european currency at this hour if we take a look at how the u.s. finished up yesterday as you can see the dow jones they have a positive finish the nasdaq was indeed downs with that later that was a thin day of trading at the but there is danger two thousand and twelve actually and that's largely because investors simply once and that's because they're awaiting the federal reserve outcome if we take a look at the markets now that we open for business

a fairly shortly indeed you can see yesterday's of positive finish for them as i said earlier there was no panic in the markets i can tell you though that european stock futures are posting gains so we're happy at your figures in the next bulletin for you but that's how the markets are looking at this hour thank you for joining me. wealthy british style. is not on.
