it's going to be a slow process throughout the course of the conflict it's been hard to come to some of the areas where the fitz's fightings happening and get a gauge of exactly what the situation is on the ground the u.n. observers traveling to some of these areas have given them access to what we see is a frightened population and the city symbol is the branch the symbol of peace is right now a city civil. see. how with fear syria will slide back into full scale violence on our website we've been asking for your thoughts on who might benefit most from such a scenario well let's take a look at the site now in the picture that we have there as you can see so far the vast majority of the viewers which is somewhere seventy percent think it's the u.s. and israel who would eventually get rid of iran's closest ally if syria plunges into a civil war. well less than twenty percent believe that it's radical islamists who

the plane going down on wednesday details that offer devastated relatives little comfort. i'm waiting for a miracle to happen until the good news about it i think so far that no news means good news i still have hope to find my wife. preassure either our teacher card to indonesia i can find a timeline of the tragedy on our website r t v dot com and we have plenty more on the story online as well including the point in time photos of the crew and others who were on board. just before takeoff with disaster to follow less than an hour after wards off or more you can now walk on to our to. plus one of the secrets of soviet history solved declassified archives and opened the lid on the mysterious death of stalin's all the sun the details are at r.t. dot com.

greece may see new elections if political parties fail to form a government following sunday's inconclusive poll talks on forming a coalition will continue on friday political turmoil is already threatening the country's bailout agreements with a view and the international monetary fund eurozone governments have held back part of their scheduled financing with greece receiving one billion euro less than planned the country is set to run out of cash in june economic analyst michael ross thinks the eurozone needs to split to limit the damage of the crisis. what we see is a program crisis it's very sad to see things developing but it was more learned within the euro because different countries like greece and

germany are not fitting into one currency and if they end of the day you will have this is what we have now. violence on the street it is not possible to real. everybody knows this is the whole problem that we have in the euro zone cannot be used by risk. cannot be solved anywhere it can only be solved by a break up of the rule that means to germany pull exult and the rest of the countries in the new rules on will devalue their money then again competitive against the world then they can bring. greek political deadlock and a storm of its causing in the euro zone is up for debate and peter live else cross talks of the full program is coming out later today. is anybody seriously suggesting that greece outside the eurozone would do but there are look at the

moment you say. the value of the drachma before. the euro or argue in my view on a number of occasions the problems cause the problem have remained in place if you haven't really a teenager who's really lazy and doesn't do anything and is is draining your bank account what do you do you kick him out of the house and generally get his act together so that's the same kind of approach that could be taken to greece and i think they without this this safety net that the eurozone provides they might actually get around to realizing oh my goodness we have an issue here and we can't just elect experiments we can't just screw around we have to actually get our act together and do something productive. as london prepares for the olympics bureaucrats and lawmakers have been busy to acting a range of rules and regulations draconian measures are already excluding some people from the country while a number of residents have been banned from the games simply because they've objected to the construction of olympic facilities near their homes arches or smith

explains. philippic tauch is late and on its journey to london accompanying it fear uncertainty and code red level security impinging on the lives of people from london to las vegas that's where tim larkin lives he's supposed to be in the u.k. training martial arts enthusiastic but as he was boarding his flight he discovered the home office had excluded him from the country on the grounds that his self defense course might incite vigilanteism being that i have a fifteen year history of coming to the u.k. training thousands of people from the u.k. and also european clients coming into london and had no incidents whatsoever in and the rhetoric that's being used is absolutely inconsistent with what i teach it's a level of paranoia that increases the closer the olympics gets but london

a simon mall won't get anywhere near the games he protested the building of basketball courts on a green space near the olympics and was slapped with a control order that forbids him from going near the olympics or any other celebration taking place this summer he faces five years in prison if he disobeys these that legislation is being used to prevent. lawful and understandable protest to aspects of the games which are on the necrotic or on popular. furthermore these are just this legislation won't prevent people from disrupting the games the wall it will do is it will give the ability of the thirty's to to punish people more severely i think it's insane i think that it shows the prevailing state of consciousness in governments and on the world which is one of the ultimately we're in control

luckily for simon he doesn't. live near the stadium but. anyone who does this building's less than a kilometer from the olympic park the plan is to station a battery of high velocity missiles on the roof of this block of flats for two months over the olympics a proposal that's already triggered an explosive reaction resident brian whelan learned of the plans from a leaflet pushed through his door late one night some people are worried about how affect the property values some people think it might be building a target for terrorists some people think that it's discipline as it is not secure enough so people don't want to be turned into some sort of military base i think it will really affect the quality of life. might my big argument is. nobody consulted us the m.r.d. never spoke to us the two thousand and twelve games have spawned a level of security that's unprecedented seen by many as overwhelming and

repressive the question many british people are asking is if it's like this already what's it going to be like when the lympics circus finally rolls into town laura smith london let's take a look at other news from around the world this hour now. clashes have continued in believe for a second day running as medical students battle drive police in the nation's capital protesters threw rocks and firecrackers at officers who fired tear gas and rubber bullets one of the country's largest unions called for three days of demonstrations after rejecting a salary increase offered by the government students joined doctors and workers at public hospitals who are protesting an increase in working hours and cutbacks. to the front runners for egypt's top job have gone head to head in the country's first presidential debate a former foreign minister under hosni mubarak and of delmon aim of all thought of moderate islam as a challenge to each other about religion row in democracy the televised debate to

last for hours with supporters of both candidates watching closely in our door cafes around cairo all the two are among thirteen candidates running in the u. action due to begin on may twenty third. nineteen people have been killed across afghanistan as a series of violent attacks by taliban militants continues and armed group wearing afghan police uniforms killed five in the country's east while apparently trying to attack a local government office all of the insurgents died in a firefight with troops and two other roadside bombs killed several civilians including five children and a police officer in the south. claims that iraq had weapons of mass destruction led to the us invasion in two thousand and three later today in our special report uncovered the war on iraq shows how bogus assertions were used to start a full scale conflict with catastrophic consequences but here's a preview. the people of the

states and their friends and allies will not live at the mercy of an outlaw regime that threatens the peace with weapons of mass murder his regime as an active program to acquire and develop nuclear weapons and let there be no doubt about we know for a fact that there are weapons there. this work is being carried out into the direction of dr david kay respected scientist and former u.n. inspector was leading the weapons search in iraq we are determined to take this apart we have a tremendous a group of dedicated american men and women involved in this with the best assets of the intelligence community can provide. data cheney is not going to be done with this for quite some time david kay wants more time and he says it could take another six to nine months to make a definitive finding ministration is asking congress for hundreds of millions more six hundred million dollars to fund a continuing search have not yet found shiny pointy things that i would call

a weapon before we can draw from conclusions we need to let the iraq survey group complete its work. we were all wrong probably in my judgment. and that most disturbing. sometimes the true patriot takes the unpopular course but helps the country of wooden stakes and even if they come this way at least we try to patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels and i think these are scoundrels they have no argument now they have no defense for what they did the country is in the turbo international security situation but i think it's a perilous so they're attacking the patriotism of other. well crossing to the world of business marina hello again so what's happening this hour hi marino well first of all i have some significant losses for japanese as well as

some american companies but i'll get to that in the second first a second look at the only markets which are trading right now and they are of course in the asia we started off with pretty much a mixed picture but since then they came has slipped into the negative side so it and it's staying there in fact they're extending their losses if we take a look at the latest figures will see that the hiring sign is dropping over zero one the percent there and that's the spy latest report so in that china's inflation slowed in april which of course came after a surprising gain in the march also when all the wholesale prices ahead of her lower but that's not really helping and passes when it comes to japan we saw earnings reports boost in some sense and also an overnight strong although not performance on wall street boosting investor confidence there but then that of course it went south and was seen as red there in asia also sony shares are tumbling they're lucent over seven percent and that's their lowest level in more than three decades that's after the company reported its fourth straight agnel loss

amounts in to five point seven billion dollars sony has been of course struggling with its loss making television business. well as moved back to the markets take a look at. what happened in the u.s. this is the clothes a picture from a thursday a mixed picture there basically we saw u.s. blue chips finally and scape in their longest losing streak. that was partly due to follow in their print jobless claims and signs of civilization in europe but when it comes to the nasdaq it slipped into negative territory and that's after the drop in cisco systems that all right will stay with the u.s. the biggest bank there which is j.p. morgan chase has revealed some significant losses as well the bank says that it's a complex investments made by its traders. two billion dollars needless to say its shares fell six percent after this. well as i look at what's happening with crude prices they're heading for their second the weakening drop announcement rise

in the stock on thursday with heard that the group of major oil exporting countries say that they have almost ten percent more crude than necessary and this of course drive the prices down as we can see why we is trading at ninety six dollars per barrel roughly this hour when it comes to the broad blood is headed towards one hundred dollars a barrel for moving on to the ranks the euro still moves in against the dollar and when it comes to the ruble retrieve against both major currencies on thursday we're going to be up if it's about when the russian markets will open which is less than an hour from now on thursday there are some markets and the trading session all of that territory if we take a look at the russian markets we see that picture and basically we have investors come back from a long holiday celebrations in here come in with a victory they are brave may day and all of those days we say was the first proper trading session bad that they were all in tears or both see what happens later on
