well with. its technology innovation all these developments from around russia we've got the future coverage. a moment of truth for syria the last ceasefire deadline passes amid moscow's concerns the fragile peace may be breached by rebels stood out from the outside. pretty tree pay day loans cut a pull british prime suspect into the spotlight with critics up in arms over crippling interest rates and allegedly deceptive marketing trips. and aiming high russian scientists plan a foothold on the moon by establishing a permanent blue no base within the next decade but before that is a turning gaze all the way to.

worldwide news around the clock this is r.t. live from moscow are with me world research showing ceasefire has been place in syria for several hours already with no reports of major violence or seen so far but mutual distrust on the rebels' refusal to guarantee the end of hostilities means there's no concrete guarantee either side will avoid firing the first shot he's worked on a boycott is keeping us across the relevance in the capital damascus this cease fire came into effect at six am local time and so far it's been holding syrian to finance minister promise not to conduct any operations any have found safe against the armed military groups while they did say that they reserve the right. retaliate

in case their units are being attacked as for the syrian opposition it hasn't released any official statements yet but what we're hearing from various members of various opposition groups is that there are going to respect the cease fire and they promise not to open fire if the regular army indeed silences its guns damascus has obviously been spared the destruction and violence that has iraq has some of the northern areas of syria but the stress of violence is still present in your daily life people have to think twice about where you park your car and they try not to do that in front of the government offices or police precincts young people are looking for ways to avoid being drafted into the army the economy is getting harder and the cost of living is increasing jobs are scarce and maybe people here in damascus now are saying that we can discuss political changes later on the first thing that should be done is to stop violence clashes or some

important reporting right that will talk he has hinted it may know the name so i would hope to protect its borders because after a refugee camp on the side of the border came under fire from inside syria or of all of its political analyst dr abdullah some are says syria has reasonable grounds to be worried about its neighbors. i think that the is the most dangerous one is very close to syria a very very long border that is if you like there is in a crisis you know how good it is of mind to to mix and form over and over hegemony between its interests its role as it would for the east its identity it's also. really. politicized religion accordingly he would continue to be heard by enough to believe all this syria was to lose than for its identity because it's not the form we have and it's the thrill of the region and the arctic saluting islam in

a very do very bad manner. the russians call for some foreign players to persuade the rebels to see saw still little use of apparently fall in on deaf ears foreign minister lavrov accuse them of stirring up violence even further this sort of meeting with his junior partners in washington d.c. he's a guy in a chicken explains the g eight ministers are meeting at a very important juncture it's the fate of the u.n. an arab league envoy kofi annan that is now at stake the syrian government says they are committed to the plan russia stands remains the same and that is all parties must lay down their arms it's important to note that the syrian opposition hasn't come up with that common joint restarts but for a cease fire to work all sides need to commit to it president assad said he will stick to the plan but will reserve the right to respond to terror attacks the russian foreign minister said that in that situation it's important for as monitors

to verify what's the situation on the ground. at all you don't rule out provocations that's why the presence of independent monitors on the ground is very important. as far as the rhetoric between the u.s. and russia it's tense to say the least secretary of state hillary clinton said russia's refusal to support quote unquote constructive action by the u.n. security council on the crisis in syria is keeping its president bashar al assad in power u.s. ambassador to the united nations susan rice went even further saying russia and china have quote blood on their hands for refusing to go along with an intervention in syria there are policymakers here who are very crowing to pension and they can still blame russia for all that's happening in syria at least in their public statements in the meantime also those pushing for a political solution with a dialogue between the opposition and the government is that of trying to influence the syrian opposition meetings with both your position inside the country and the

exiled opposition but it's absolutely clear that some of our international partners tell them different things and prevent the opposition from making any concessions this is wrong you're saying so you have roth also warned western and arab nations against arming syrian rebels saying quote even if the syrian opposition is arms to the teeth it will not be able to defeat the syrian army and the bloodshed will go on for years and of quote countries are going to extra reporting live that will i mean time neil clark a journalist and contributor to the britain's or guardian newspaper says kofi annan is planted little to stop foreign states from bolstering the rebels and putting the blame on the assad government. it's interesting to hear the west response because the onus now is on the western powers and on saudi arabia it's on those countries that are backing your positions and tell them to support the peace the peace plan

to stop this talk about arming them stop the struggle. and then we think we could get peace in syria because we would have a democratic framework to solve this problem there's two sides to this camp and obviously the west is betrayed is. the assad regime we choose to play because of course that's not true what's been going on in syria is an attempt by outside powers to bring about regime change and peace plan the rhetoric from the west the british foreign secretary for assad to go to war crimes trial is a very helpful. obviously there are rather mixed opinions around the world on the ongoing syrian crisis today we want you to give us your input on whether you think that a complete cease fire is likely to be respected that is the question we're asking in today's poll that our team dot com let's open up the numbers for this hour from our web site here we are so far the majority of you that's forty three percent are skeptical saying the syrian national council will push for another libya the second largest group or thirty two percent now things neither side nor the rebels would

back down to twenty two percent saying now that a ceasefire is possible if the rebels lay down their weapons and the minority for the moment only three percent think that international pressure will work if you think of the moment right now for a worldwide poll just log on to our teeth dot com and have your say. in the global financial crisis so one man's loss is another man's gain millions struggle to get by there are others seeing and grasping at opportunities but how far will they go in the name of profit. correspondent laura smith asked her to house. leeks dot coms have eaten it all sounds so easy and it is in ten minutes payday loan companies handout short term loans to tide you over till you get your paycheck but kelly smith knows this short term solution can become a long term trap as if that was wrong line then basically what happened next month

is our pay the hundred pound line but having to pay back about one hundred in six day when on with our stock and before that was not compared to what it is in recess month until recently payday loans with the preserve of the desperate fast easy no questions asked cash the catch punitive interest rates in some cases a staggering one thousand seven hundred percent a year but according to a report by accountant pricewaterhouse coopers in these times of economic hardship with traditional credit like cards and bank loans harder to come by payday loans are becoming part of the fabric of the u.k.'s economic society the only growth sector in the consumer credit market what's happening in the current economic climate is the people of varying girl new credit card good people don't want long term duty because they're worried about the future income stream. so the ability to

borrow just the money you need for a short period of time many people are finding much more contagious will really have long term good on credit cards advantages maybe if you pay it off straight away but high interest rates and extortionate late charges can make it impossible for people on low incomes to pay off their debts according to research by the deficit hawk trust people on average twelve hundred pounds and forty percent of the borrowing but it's a paper basic living costs even more worryingly new stuff to forage for a payday loan company to pay off another. payday gave me now the average payday taurua has from different companies and they're constantly targeted by the firms both somehow managed to get my number off this one company this of the different martins text me and say hi kelly do you want to throw in a fire line you've we've accepted use the chance to get your loan in and is all

these different companies texting me in or is me really because i think. why would you want to get somebody in. monthly to kelly's still trapped in a vicious cycle of debt she doesn't know how she's going to get out of it you have to go cold turkey to get out of cycling as far as how to get cold turkey. and can you afford to do that would you be able to afford to laura smith r.t. can't say no to the untrained eye euro crisis appears to be simmering down but that may all be about to change after an extremely poor showing at a spanish government debt auction by sky and stacey herbert with more of that next hour here on r.t. . a lot of easy money courtesy of the european central bank may for a calm start to twenty twelve what a poor spanish bond sale last week signals it may have only been a long before the debt storm breaks analysts warn and i think of it more as

a debt fondu really with that well you take a country like greece is to get on the farm do fork and you get put into the debt and then you serve it up to government gave me more. all this debt fondu is great now spain is being thrown into the debt fondu. because reporting is about an hour and a quarter from when our russian scientists are preparing for the next giant leap for mankind with the bitterest goal of gaining a foothold on the moon within ten years the announcement of the daring project coincides with the fifty first anniversary of the very first manned space flight artist on barton looks at the chances of success. to put a man on the moon to keep him there that's the aim for space exploration in the coming decade according to a plan unveiled by moscow's academy of sciences' choice for all this but what's

known klein cannot stay where it is now for a long time we have been successful in exploring near earth space it's time to move beyond it a goal is to put. on the moon by two thousand and twenty with landing stations as stablished by twenty twenty two which will start the process of building a permanent manned base their own on the minute the moon is that all well say scientists we actually know surprisingly little about our closest cosmic neighbor and the consensus is we should try and prove our skills and science as close as possible to home before attempting any bigger leaps vast quantities of frozen water have been discovered under the moon's surface taken there by billions of years worth of collisions with asteroids and water might not be all we find if we look carefully organic samples may have been preserved in comets in a frozen state it's impossible to investigate them from afar so we should deliver

those samples back to or in the control rooms there have been serious questions about whether we can technically manage a moon base the past year has seen a catalog of errors a clue to the supply rocket on its way to the international space station plunging back to earth and an unmanned mars exploration rocket falling from orbit we're still using technology from the decades of the space race from the fifty's to be eighty so scientists and new ships have been taking too long to live. until we get new ships we will have problems also many of the people with the knowledge of the old models are no longer with us and the younger generation doesn't have that knowledge so for now sticking with the moon might be ambitious enough this. some sensitive mars missions as well as the world remembers that plane made it up to space in the first place those in charge of cosmetics nation want to stop marking

the breakthroughs of the past and start making some of their own bots and. space entrepreneurs believes the moon exploration offers unlimited opportunities for all of. only three nations have sent humans to space and now companies are trying to do it and that's a big difference pharmaceutical research growing different process season materials and who would use gravity on the moon maybe you set something up on the far side that really can look what scientists i'm sure you can get scientists that are in a way to jump on a rocket ship and spend five years on the far side of the moon we've always got plenty more on our website our team thought called don't hesitate to log on for the latest stories a quick taste of what's standing by fee there at the moment a powerful pesticide used as a chemical weapon in the vietnam war as just are going to prove they are safe use by farmers. not playing ball the manager of
