of the biggest names in the metals that path to find out things are going to join me in times time from. a very warm welcome for you from all of us here at our team. the opposition 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 and has also decided to let the rebels some foreign governments who are already sending any weapons all this comes as the u.n. security council foreign ministers have met some break the deadlock in syria amid reports of ongoing violence. as details from new york. russia's foreign

minister sergei lavrov did address the media following that 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 real not prevailed within the security council there hostage be compromise 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 to 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 lover 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 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 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. let's get some more details now on the situation in syria joining us is political analyst dr abdullah's live in ramallah thank you for coming on today of the syrian opposition has called for military intervention from the west and a no fly zone put in place just a day before meeting with kofi annan the u.n. special envoy to syria do you think these calls will be heard by nato states.

i think it's headed since a long time we must understand that and we must realize that you know we're going to seriously see a long long time the. israeli grieving for the action the uncommitted voter i.d. and also to be in court about believe it one of the leaders of the terrorists in syria since eight years we are preparing for this big. for sure and i think that only the guy that they smuggled. i think what they need only just to see the nuclear weapons and that's it as you say as you say weapons have been coming in for upwards of eight years and this has been a long time in the making to just throw in president assad the syrian national council has also decided to the free syrian army how does this sit with the humanitarian and negatives of the u.s. and its allies. i think that. those that you know thought there

was a bit in this but i didn't know something was going to heal me this is media i feel like this is just feel some form of you know. what is in the more very very. i think it's already in the unknown that the northern states is right about at least sixty countries all over the world all of the blood in the single drop of blood you know in their words. or if it's not all their blood which is you know just i mean it's thrown just because of the over the. over the way that's why he. is just for the media and you know the people so as you say the humanitarian missions here are more of a media ploy perhaps a bit of propaganda certainly you might equate that to what happened in libya with the u.n. resolution one ninety seven three and that humanitarian mission if i may for

a moment as we know and. also not only in libya so all around the world as you were saying before give me for interrupting now if i may be as we know in recent days in the recent past two days now the u.n. security council has been meeting in new york a russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has said he's worried where these weapons will end up just for a moment let's have a listen to what he had to say we just. kind of presence in syria proved to be true and i assume it's the case then the weapons coming to syria could fall into the hands of this terrorist organization and according to the u.n. security council resolution all members of the united nations should not only prevent weapons going to al qaeda most of all links because that's me on this let's talk to some are there's the russian foreign minister saying that the influx of weapons could very well be going into the hands of al qaeda how big of a role do you think that al qaeda could be playing inside syria. i think that mr

lavrov is a very you know because i think there is i mean communicating with. the united states and this is the fact you know most of the branches of a guy that created by. now as a foreign minister phone surely he must be. because he did not want people at the pleasure radically face to face with what. it is they create that i. think being. quiet certainly seems it certainly seems as you suggest there are a lot of external and regional forces absolutely determined to get rid of all of president assad but how optimistic are you if any optimism at all about kofi mission to solve this through diplomatic measures. soon i am afraid of i learned because iran was the one with the hands are going to get him in iraq by the way in the last. ten years but i think that might do something good

because they really are lies that the syrians are you missed it is strong and the syrian president is still fair and accordingly he's just was pleased to see if that piece of. who sent him that's why he when they realized that the change that he didn't they want to try to make some money over this so as to protect their big. political analyst. life or about i thank you for coming on today thank you now the battle for syria has being going on in the media almost as much as in the nation's embattled cities al-jazeera has come under attack for the way it's been trying to allegedly shape opinion. which is iraqi society we think. setting the news agenda for being a state bias a channel once held it is a mouthpiece of freedom and change is fast becoming an instrument of political

pressure and propaganda press been ongoing since last april and you know of two thousand and eleven there are senior people from the you know the head of the church of the bureau and bring many other people because of the biased coverage and and out right into the government and dictating editorial policy over libya and now syria when he quit or year ago the head of the bureau said the channel had abandoned professional and objective reporting claiming it has become an operation room point incitement and mobilization and it is you have the kind that i do believe that al-jazeera and other channels were not balanced in dealing with the events all are responsible for instance of 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 set up fifteen years ago al-jazeera is owned by the state of qatar its english language spinoff the launch 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 believe. and its coverage share showed that very clearly there were a few critical programs compared to where a bit of just zero 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 twisting policies and. it's very disturbing to hear al-jazeera is now becoming this regional player for foreign policy. in a way that some would argue me say the b.b.c. and others have been for decades the way al-jazeera arabic has covered the story of syria is completely one sided. charge backed up by another al-jazeera

staffer who complained via email and his boss has refused to publish pictures of armed fighters clashing with the syrian army the film al-jazeera bathed correspondent to channel also ignored the wind and on the new constitution in syria as for libya the two ports adjacent some of the channels coverage and set up some tripoli with fake. last year the channel was miraculously granted access to the american media market after initially been banned in the united states would 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 is that once reason lucian every voice has been drowned out by and now didn't raise the agenda of its sponsors r.t. contacted al-jazeera his head office of the channel was unavailable for comment from . tel aviv. he is coming your life from moscow and still ahead in the program but

of paying of debts greece secures a debt write off and bail out backing from the eurozone but is left to fight each new wide problems like illegal immigration are learning plus. missions to the moon to venus to jupiter and to mars all parts over a vicious plans for the russian space agency for the next eighteen years. have delivered on their threat of revenge attacking an afghan government delegation and one of the villages where civilians were allegedly shot dead by a u.s. soldier hundreds of also held in and t. american rally following the massacre the u.s. apologized but said troops won't leave sooner than planned or the patience of people may well be running out. oh. sixteen innocent afghan villagers slaughtered in cold blood aunt nine of them

children u.s. officials are going out of their way to present the american surgeon who 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 servicemen and servicewomen 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 breeze actions do not represent the values of the vast majority of coalition forces here's some of 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 this is looking like. a brutal occupation which is killing a large number of afghans were afghans film selves humiliated insulted and what instance like this will be regarded as symbolic of exactly what is wrong with the american not like it is an absolutely cynical operation to say that they can't keep the place. 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

a month for these for these governments just tokens of meaning in countries where they have absolutely no rights when the copious apologies handed out by the administration don't seem to. to appease work critics back home let alone the afghan people but what about the whole idea of in aiding a country in 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 to have created the taliban has vowed it will take revenge and least expect a fresh surge of violence children shot in the head women 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. it becomes

a vicious circle that breeds even more danger spreading far beyond the borders of afghanistan i'm going to reporting from washington r.t. . and i'm more coverage of developments in afghanistan always available for you on our website artsy dot com there's plenty of other issues are to grab your attention there as well for example move along please a new weapon that could cook the crowd the american military unveils its new people dispersing it and microwave canada. and russia is alleging three bolshoi's theater goes online anyone fighting to get prices a bit too steep for their taste can now watch the pirouettes is alive on the venue's very early. much needed rescue cash will finally start flowing into greek coffers later this month as the eurozone group clears the way for a one hundred thirty billion euro bailout however the international monetary fund

is yet to confirm its part of the deal despite greece agreeing a bond of swap deal with private creditors now one senior year zero official even suggested its debt could fall more than expected but i pulled little believe southern european countries simply just get out of the currency here. recent 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 and with minimum wages being caught there's not homelessness in that country at the moment and all the european union is doing you can go down this line as 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 actually screams out of the altogether gets back home for the drachma the value certain someone exchange rates at a combatant of level gets its exports moving the idea that greece spain portugal and all these mediterranean countries could exist within the same eurozone as a country like germany was completely facile in the. reset it really predicted this

it was impossible logical way so the only way that this thing can move on is for probably the nordic countries to form their own eurozone and for this for the country to fall out altogether. 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 indeed that i'm not just all happy about the economic problems but that also all happy about open door immigration policies which seem to be promoted by the european union so i think you will probably see your skeptic right across northern europe in particular stripped of all the european elections in two thousand and fourteen and i just don't know what's going to happen in certain european states because maybe in greece it's gone beyond that maybe you will have the revolution because people are very very unhappy in the kind of those right wing forces have already started sounding from the top in france as president sarkozy builds his reelection platform on ansi immigration rhetoric he's threatened to pull

out of the free border treaty if the e.u. doesn't fight the problem but it's impoverished greece that is bearing the brunt of the illegal immigrant for that stricken korean supports. 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. has been know 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 index to greece. 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 to come into greece it was the border stretches one hundred twenty miles most of it goaded by the everest

river. through this channel fifty five thousand people reached greece in two thousand and ten alone a sizeable chunk of the estimated one hundred thousand seeking refuge in the country every year in 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 shore slam border because. it's very cost effective because two hundred people cross the border every day even if we caught half of them that means a lot for a country plagued by financial problems and we shouldn't forget the greece is a 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 seven zero solution is to a european problem but one that has its own a you backing. the european commission has ruled against the fence irregardless of

where its flags fly they join a number of domestic human rights groups who just by cleese's position as a gateway to europe stand opposed to the building of a fence stop their bros wall is one such organization we spoke to a member who wished to remain anonymous. let me ask are playing you believe this fence is inhumane is a history showing that by fences such as the second struct a number of those kills trying to cross a boarding reasons for example that's what happened in the us mexico border. with greece on its knees few in the country seem willing to take to the streets to denounce the law indeed even among those who have deplored its implementation a greater flow appears to be how the e.u. as a body tackles illegal immigration. doubling through argument by itself which says that whoever comes into the european has been said about it pantry where he first or she first entered the european union or is that your land but in greece which is

unfair for an entry point like greece based aid agency has long cared for refugees in athens but it needs economic woes they now have districts resources to treat greeks as well as a close he 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's a project that won't stand up to proceed restrains with the real building blocks to a solution he reasoned as a great ease share of greece's heavy burden degrees r.t. happens in a just a moment it's katie with the markets but for now russia is planning to bail the research stations on mars before moving on to other planets outside our system and these are the ideas regarding the nation's space program in the u.s. to cut all these details about what is pretty rough. ross cosmos the russian space agency laying out there their plan for the next eighteen years will take us up to

the a twenty thirty now we're going to see unmanned unmanned network of research facilities on the surface of mars now they will be there to gather as much information as they can and send it back to here to earth hopefully being one of the first steps towards. being able to set up a place on mars another will also be missions to venus and to jupiter and we're hearing that we could see a monday mission to the moon well as far as the current missions go what we're going to see is the international space station scrapped the i.s.a.'s has been on the go since the late ninety's it has funding up until twenty twenty however well it is going to be an old piece of kit really by that time and it will lead pair replacing now what they're looking to replace it with of course is brand new technology a next generation of spacecraft unmanned spacecraft that will be able to travel

further and retrieve more data than anything we have at the moment now all of this of course costs money and roscoe's more say that they have the cash they have the budget to be able to do it in fact under the new plan for the next eighteen years we're going to see around six and a half billion u.s. dollars plowed into space exploration here in russia and what we're also going to see is the development of a brand new cosmodrome as it stands at the moment soyuz rockets that go up to the international space station launched in baikonur that's actually the same launch pad is where eureka garren blasted off to be the first man in space all those years ago however baikonur as great as it is it's time to look a little bit tired they will see a new cosmodrome built in the far east of russia so those next generation of rockets those next generation spacecraft will be launched in the next generation of course. well. for it's also promised us time to work with casey the business does go crazy you can try to watch the latest market activity i know that what saw this

about a battle going on. you're quite right there is indeed a battle shaping up between two of the biggest billionaire in the russian metal sector. back so the country's ten richest person has quit as chairman of the world's top producer. now it's all over disagreement with the management policy which he says has bought the company into a deep crisis. resells the largest shareholder and he's not the best of friends with its main base may know are they that he passed sky talking have long been battling over control of another company a mining giant ne nicko he wants will sell to show. the snicko in order to resolve the dispute. is this now we've got fascinate zuckoff from hate just be he says that's what's really behind the resignation of. the prime

reason for his resignation is he has recently discovered bound with the management if he was on the rules nickel state that build a company with all first made a very significant premium for the sport market and then of course the sale would allow the company or to deliver a significant player and while the company of dogs recycle it so i'll continue fighting else you know it's very important what is asian project here spoken probably some time ago in security. because. you know whether it will be definitely willing to sell it a lot of something we have to wait for. ok about him is you call for falling on the news or trading in russo were suspended in hong kong after losses of one point three percent of the shoes day let's take a look at the russian markets to see how other brushing. companies are fairing as you can see the r.t.s. and the my stocks are managing to hold onto those gains so they don't draw the well
