it's good to have you with us today this is the with me will receive and live in moscow a ceasefire has been in place in syria for several hours already with no major reports of any serious violence received so far but mutual distrust on the rebels' failure to ensure the end of hostilities means there's no concrete guarantee that either side will avoid firing the first shot. on a boy because keeping across the relevance in the capital damascus this ceasefire came into effect at six am local time and so far it's been holding syrian to finance minister promise not to conduct operations and have found safe and downs they are military groups and while they did say that they reserve the right to retaliate in case their young to. being attacked asked for the syrian opposition

and hasn't released any official statements yet press what we're hearing from various members of various opposition groups is that there aren't going to respect the ceasefire and they promised not to open fire if the regular army indeed silence as it's gone from damascus has office had been spared the destruction and violence that has iraq has some of the northern areas of syria but these tracks 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 go for it 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 are now saying that we can discuss political changes later on the first thing that should be done is to stop violence

sort of work reporting the turkey has hinted it may for an eight so i hope to protect its borders but softer a refugee camp on his territory came under fire from inside syria. political analyst a doctor though some are says syria has reasonable grounds to be worried about its neighbors. i think that the state is the most dangerous one is very close to syria of the very long border that is if you live there is in a crisis you know how. to to to make some form of hegemony between its interests its. its identity and its all saw. really. politicized religion according to continue and i could be heard by another will try to leave all the aspects of this here in its identity because it's looking for and it's the three who are the legion and the arctic saluting anybody the very bad man

or the russians calls for some foreign players to persuade the rebels to cease toss the libyans have apparently fallen on deaf ears foreign minister lavrov accused them of stirring up violence even further while at a meeting with his junior partners in washington d.c. with details our team is going to check out the g eight ministers are meeting at a very important juncture is the fate of the u.n. an arab league envoy kofi annan plan 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 a common joint starts but for a cease fire to work all sides need to commit to it present our side 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 us monitors to verify what's the situation on the ground ensure that we don't rule out and

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 separate state hillary clinton so precious 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 pro intervention and they tend to blame russia for all that's happening in syria at least in their public statements in the meantime moscow's pushing for a political solution with a dialogue between the opposition and the government was the we're trying to influence the syrian opposition meetings with both the opposition 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 room still. so a lot of 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 quote it is going to write a new clock a journalist and contributor to britain's guardian newspaper says that kofi annan has planted little to stop foreign stories from both during the rebels and putting the blame on the assad government. it's interesting to hear that the west response because the onus now is on the western powers and on saudi arabia it's on those countries that have back you know positions and tell them to support the peace peace plan to stop this talk about arming them stop this talk about regime change

and then we think we could get peace in syria because we would have a democratic framework to solve this problem to these two sides to these companies obviously the west is betraying this country is it only the the assad regime we used to believe 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 you know peace plan the rhetoric from the west the british foreign secretary calling for assad to go before a war crimes trial is a very helpful. now obviously there are mixed opinions around the world about the ongoing syrian crisis today though we want to hear whether you think a complete ceasefire is likely to peace respect if that is the question we're asking interlace told r.t. dot com let's bring up the numbers for this hour from our web site here we are so far the majority for this hour forty three percent are skeptical saying the syrian national council will push for another libya style intervention the second largest group thirty one percent things that neither assad nor the rebels will back down

now to twenty two percent say that a ceasefire is possible if the rebels lay down their weapons and a minority only four percent think the international pressure will work you can log on and have your say be a part of our. worldwide. this is our duty in the global financial crisis one man's loss is another man's game billions struggle to get by there are others seeing and grasping at opportunities but just how far will they go in the name of profit in london as our correspondent martin store a sweat. leeks dot coms making it all sound 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 that's a crowd around line then basically what happened next month is our presence of her

need for a short period of time many people are finding much more advantageous for running up long term good credit cards as part stages 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 trusts people who own average twelve hundred pounds forty percent of the borrowing but it's a case of basic living costs even more worryingly mooste cost of forage for a payday a company to pay off not that. hey to me now the average pay day poorhouse for loans 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 clients text me and say. you want to buy a line use it we've accepted use the chance to get your loan and then it is all

a debt fondu really work that well you take a country like greece you stick it on the farm do fork and you dip it into the debt and then you serve it up to goldman sachs or j.p. morgan. all this debt fondue is great now spain is being thrown into the debt fondu . like from what's good this is our team now russian space scientists are preparing for the next giant leap for mankind with their own issues the goal of gaining a foothold on the moon within ten years the announcement of a daring project coincides with the fifty first anniversary of the very first manned space flight teams tom barton looks of the chances of success. to put a man on the move 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 was bogus but was mankind

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 that. goal is to put on man rovers on the moon by two thousand and twenty with landing stations established by twenty twenty two which will start the process of building a permanent manned base there and on a 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 thought if we look carefully organic samples may have been preserved in comets in a frozen states it's impossible to investigate them from afar so we should deliver

those samples that were 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 including a 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 the decades of the space race from the fifty's to the eighty's say scientists and new ships have been taking too long to arrive. until we get these 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. sometimes it's of mars missions as well as the world remembers the players who made it up to space in the first place those in charge of course the fixed nation want to start

marking the breakthroughs of the past and start making some of their own. space entrepreneur believes that a 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 then we do scrabble on the moon and maybe you set something up on the far side that really can look at scientists i'm sure you could get. a jump on a rocket ship and spend you know five years on the far side of the moon. i know we've got a plenty more on our website our teams are called don't hesitate to log on for the latest story takes no one standing by for you our web site a powerful pesticide used as a chemical weapon in the vietnam war has now been approved safe for use by farmers . not playing ball the manager of
