the syrian opposition wants foreign military forces to step in and admits weapons are coming from abroad in new york the u.n. security council meets to see if they can break the stalemate. the u.s. rushes to authorize for what it calls it an isolated incident after an american soldier shoots down sixteen afghans most of them children but face in washington is when a bank. and greece hold his breath for rescue cash for the euro zone's balance here give it the green light by a lack of you how matters like illegal immigration take a toll on the database and.

this is our team live from moscow 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 and all this comes as un security council foreign ministers met to try to break the deadlock in syria and reports even going violence has more 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 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 least half a year russia and china have used their veto powers on to separate occasions because they said they would not support regime change in syria mr lavrov said that russia is committed to supporting a resolution that would call for an immediate humanitarian assistance in to syria but he rejected accusations that russia is the sole country that could solve the problem it is not on this one people say that it's a risk and depends on which i would love to see such situations where the russians or the regime in the world disappears and i would also like to know do to hold that the united states can magically resolve the middle east crisis the arab israeli conflict or. still drug trafficking from afghanistan but we all understand that

today's problems of the world cannot be resolved by the desire for it's even in systems even action by one country 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 support. the u.s. and its allies are reportedly considering what they call options in syria including military invasion allistair a dollar foreign editor at the in a panel newspaper says if western states decide to intervene will bring even more chaos no it is very reluctant to get involved in syria not least because it's a hugely difficult conflict works more difficult and of course the criticism that has come under after the libyan conflict. has been has been pretty harsh now i mean how many more people have to go well you know the question of military intervention is only really been raised in. the siege and have been

a massacre in home sort of the last six weeks or so so i think it's still very much a moving moving issue and one that will probably there's over sort of in the coming week. the balfour of syria has been going into media almost as much as a nation's and battled cities al-jazeera the arabic language channel has come under attack for the way it was trying to shape opinion artist policy are now reports. of setting the news agenda setting the news agenda being set bias that channel once held it is a mouthpiece of freedom and change is 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 from you know the head of the. many other people quit because of the biased coverage and and out right into the government and dictating editorial policy over libya and now syria when he quit

a year ago the head of the channel had abandoned professional and objective of porting claiming it has become an operation room for incitement and mobilization of it if 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 and 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 launched in november two thousand and six three in the shammal when it was said uk was always intended to be a much softer version of the arabic trammell of the channel life it was largely set up to a pretty. great show showed very clearly there were few

critical programmes compared jazeera 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 but critics claim it's increasingly become a tool of qatari and western policies and views it's very disturbing to hear al-jazeera is now are becoming this regional player for foreign policy in a way that some would argue really say the b.b.c. and others have been for decades where does or arabic has covered the story of syria is completely one sided. that 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 the formal jazeera beirut correspondent civet channel also ignored a referendum on a new constitution in syria as for libya a leaked report suggests 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 being 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 it's to begin the question whether al-jazeera is a once revolutionary voice has been drowned out by allowed annoys the agenda of its sponsors r.t. contacted al-jazeera as head office but the channel was unavailable for comment policy or r.t.e. television. and coming out later in the program paying for good reasons if you are . backing from the euro zone but is left to fight why problems like illegal immigration along with. reaching for the stars rush outlines of issues plans for the future of the space program over the next eighteen years. militants

have attacked a government delegation visiting lot of two afghan villages where u.s. soldier allegedly went on a shooting rampage the taliban earlier valid revenge for the killing of sixteen civilians on sunday the shooting prompted a raft of apologies and reassurances from u.s. officials that are just going to should come found out that might not be enough for the afghans. six the innocent afghan villagers slaughtered in cold launch nine of them children u.s. officials are going out of their way to present the american surgeon to apparently committed the massacre is just one bad apple. this incident is tragic and shocking and does not represent the exceptional character of our military and the respect that they wanted 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 resign actions do not represent the values of the vast majority of coalition forces because of their 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 the laws number of afghans were afghans film selves humiliated insulted and 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're going to be completely 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 the stoppings of painting in countries where they have absolutely no rights when the court hears 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 country 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 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 dead set 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 marking one hundred students are holding a rally minister of gas and following to u.s. soldiers murder a shooting spree and the u.s. has to do better than offer words of apology to pacify them says author michael o'brien. the thing about it is it's all words i believe these people are there and i want to see action the afghan people it doesn't make sense that the obama and

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 some 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 it can only go so far and we're supposed to be there for another two years and we've been there for you know over ten years now and the afghan people when they were right after the korean burning they're sick of it they're sick of the whole thing but they're powerless powerless to do anything about it the average afghan a 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 capel up are not instilling democracy anywhere as you can instill democracy when it's have been a tribal system for thousands of years and you can't all the sudden because the united states wants to say you know what we're era to be a democracy we're going to show you how here's the money. now more coverage of the

valves and gas and is available to our website or to dot com there's plenty of other issues though to grab your attention as well in the long please and new weapon that could coax the crowd the american military unveils its new people dispersing microwave camp. and members of a pond found us bands who made a blasphemous performance at the altar of russia's main cathedral are turned into and i can get the full story archie dot com. much needed rescue cash will finally start flowing to greek call 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 of the deal despite greece agreeing of bond swap deal with private creditors once here your official even suggested its debt could fall more than expected but your m.p. paul at all believes southern european countries should just get out of the

currency union. recent serious trouble i mean you just have to look at the amount of people who are out on the streets demonstrating at the moment suicide rates are up to minimum wages being cause there's massive homelessness in our country at the moment 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 not that reese comes out of the all together gets back on to the drachma devalue sets its own exchange rate at a competitive level get its exports moving the idea that greece spain portugal and all of these mediterranean countries can exist within the same eurozone as a country like germany was completely facile from the. reset it will be predicted this it was impossible article way so the only way that this thing can move on is for probably the north a country from their own euro zone for this one country to fall out of the government go back and 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 see a little not just one happy about the economic problems but also one happier about open the 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 because the european elections in two thousand and fourteen and i just don't know what's going to happen in sort of your previous states because maybe in greece it's gone beyond that maybe you will have the revolution because people are very very happy in the. all those right wing wars have already started sounding from the top in france as president sarkozy builds his reelection platform on antenna gratian rather and he has threatened to pull out of the free war treaty if the e.u. doesn't fight the problem but it's impoverished grayness that's bearing the brunt of the illegal immigrant and sol 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 singles out as well in 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 improved is an influx that is acutely built in dick stricken 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 border as to coming to greece. and there was some border stretches one hundred twenty miles most of it go to by the everest river through this channel fifty five thousand people reached greece in two thousand and ten alone a sizable chunk of the estimated hundred thousand seeking refuge in the country every year in desperation greek authorities called 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 short land border. that's very cost effective because two hundred people cross the border every day 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 worsened as they were seeing a daily influx of new people to the country to make matters worse several posts solution this to a european problem but one that has little a u. backing the european commission has ruled against the fence it regardless of where its flags flying they join a number of domestic human rights groups who despite greece's position as a gateway to europe stand opposed to the building of a fence stop their browes wall is one such organization we spoke to a member who wished to remain anonymous we believe the stance. there is that he's

to show that we are consistent should these a constructive number of those killed trying to possible increased for example what happens when 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 deplored its implementation the great info appears to be hal the e.u. as a body tackled illegal immigration doubling to argument by itself which says that whatever comes of the european has been said about what country where he first or she first then told the european union yesterday all that back and greece which is unfair for an entry point like freeze this aid agency has long cared for refugees in athens automates economic woes they now have a district for the horses to treat greeks as well as a quality of life is tumbling around them greek authorities are placing great faith in bricks and mortar and razor wire but many conclude it is

a project that won't stand up to visit or strains with the real building blocks to a solution be reasoned at a great age share of greece's heavy burden to greece r.t. athens. russia plans to boldly go where no man has gone before it aligns to build a network of research stations or mars to move even further into the unknown and explore other planets in the solar system. ideas that will guide edition space program and the years to come out find out more of the details were there to hear our joins us now here the sounds like a very ambitious project was working it out well it's some quite ambitious plans indeed know we're hearing from the russian space agency is that over the next eighteen years they hope to set up a series a network of unmanned research centers on the surface of mars that hopefully will one day be able to lead us towards setting up a

a month settlement on the surface of the red planet now we're also hearing that they want to go out beyond mars and see other planets where we haven't really explored that much now that they're talking about missions to venus and jupiter. and further out of the way from from earth so that's all very exciting as well one things will be looking at is the possible retirement of the international space station it's been an excellent servants over the years has been instrumental in some some key scientific discoveries put it inside to get a bit tired by twenty thirty it will certainly have outlived its usefulness they're hoping to retire that over the coming years. what we will see though is the development of a new generation of manned spacecraft now these unmanned spacecraft because you don't have the the added risk the added pressure of of monthlies but this next generation will be able to to go out and retrieve the type of data that is needed

in order to make sure that man space flight can follow on and we can send people out into the far east reaches of the cosmos. no a month space flight doesn't raise the the same excitement if you will in your space enthusiastic where there are plans though to support people in space russian flight wanting to return to the moon of course it's many decades since the united states since nasa set foot on the moon russia wanting to to put their own cosmonauts on the surface of the nearest celestial satellites. hopefully try and discover more about our closest neighbor and because most see if we can't set up some kind of perhaps a settlement perhaps a scientific research center on the surface of the moon i would order to do all this because most is being given a project of six and a half billion dollars a year so the financing is certainly there but we'll have to see just how

successful they can be ambitious plans for ross cosmos they're looking to put behind them the disappointments of the past eighteen months where we saw several key missions fail they want to put behind them they want to go out and reach for the stars but here is certainly far there's come to fruition they'll be a breakthrough thanks very much indeed for bringing us this here all are there. now let's 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 it was me eight of by cairo at least twenty five gazans have been killed and thirty five israelis wonder by rocket attacks the fighting was sparked by israel killing a high ranking palestinian militant leader last week gaza's have kept out of this firing which involved militant splinter groups that means a truce between israel and hamas is likely to be affected. a mom has

been killed in a blaze at a shia mosque near brussels the building was attacked with a petrol bomb and the man died of smoke inhalation trying to extinguish the flames one other person was injured belgian police say the suspect will be a knife and accept the mosque of fire has been taken into custody. a ferry carrying around two hundred people as a river in southern bangladesh eighteen bodies have been recovered and rescuers are searching for dozens more still missing confirmed reports just a very could have been hit by another vessel shipwrecks are common in the country scores are killed in similar accidents every year. you know how to carry it is god the way it is from the world of business what's going on there well there's a big brass a big. big money and it's in the russian metal sector the country is tenth the richest person that victor backs oberg has quite as chairman of the world's top

producer roof so he disagrees with management's policy which he says has the company into the. back so burke is rousseau's third largest shareholder his relationship with its main owner of a very past is far from friendly with thai kings have been battling over control over another company mining giant northeast nicko trading russo was suspended in hong kong of one point three percent lower on choose they following on from that knee. and if we take a look at how the russian markets are performing right now we can see they are indeed still in positive territory although they have lost some traction from earlier today as you can see the artist just below and the my six around a quarter of a cent if we look at the individual share moves and see who's benefiting from those

gains you can see we've got the land just bank of gas from those who are now lou call has a just an ounce that they plan to spend more they've got to spend more in iraq up to two billion dollars more in twenty twelve that's news just in on that now let's turn our attentions to greece because that's the main topic on the agenda for the e.u. markets and the fact that we are about to see a deal in that poll for you we have got the haircut is going down and we're going to be seeing how they progressed throughout the day with the markets for you. as we can see the e.u. markets are indeed set to take place for you euro zone's group back to greece's second bailout package moving on up for you we're going to see the figures we've got the third flat's opposed to the dutch point three percent there they are indeed up for the day they'll be opening up for a short day we'll have those figures for you moving on we have indeed going to take

a look at the asian markets and it closed over the nikkei did lose some of those gains earlier because of the bank of japan announcing they were going to hold their interest rates are therefore they lost some of those that they had earlier on in the session moving on to do all this political tensions that are keeping those prices up for you we've also heard news from china they're going to be increasing their gasoline prices and that's because it's gone past the threshold that the states in forces that are very interesting will be watching that metals and gold is a coin we now for a full day in five along with most other commodities because we got the federal reserve meeting happening today in the u.s. we'll be finding out ben bernanke he's going to of course more constant easing last time he failed to impress investors we'll see if it's going to happen today for you if we get along to the euro we can see the euro is now losing against the u.s. dollar but the ruble gaining against the greenback on the year it's self as they

say the u.s. they had a positive day a yesterday as you can see it was a mixed mixed picture as you can see the dow jones was indeed up around a quarter of the nasdaq was slightly down there. big news in america though we'll be watching out today is the yahoo have goals a lawsuit against facebook a massive be interesting one to watch and later on that's how the markets stand in the now join me in thirty five minutes for another rough faves.
