through gulf arab states qatar and saudi arabia reports have surfaced in the washington post from unnamed american officials has recently been an influx of arms who are abroad to fight the syrian regime anti-war activists brian becker with the answer coalition says the u.s. and nato still want to side out. sony arabia qatar they have their own interests in terms of reorganizing the middle east principally of weakening syria weakening iran changing the relationship of forces in lebanon but behind qatar and saudi arabia and even turkey which has its own regional ambitions is the united states is the nato countries the former colonizers of syria and the region who are committed to overthrowing the assad government and who i believe have crossed the rubicon now in terms of preparing for the all out intervention including military intervention by nato forces and remember turkey will be the gateway for nato as a nato power for the efforts by the west as they did in libya to use ultimately

military power to overthrow a government and independent government that they want to replace with a proxy regime in this important region assad government was hoping against hope that some sort of. mission such as the observer mission with kofi annan might be enough to keep the dogs at bay but i think it's quite clear that when the united states and its allies saudi arabia qatar are pumping in huge quantities hundreds of millions of dollars of weapons right into the middle of damascus and other areas their intention is not to have a negotiated settlement but an all out civil war or as a precursor as i said earlier to a nato intervention i think the united states is scripted it in a way that peace is impossible it says pieces demean but the united states and nato wanted to do because they're using have decided to use military force to overthrow this independent government. more than a month into the ceasefire syria still suffering from violence and that's casting

serious doubt on the un backed peace plan there president assad insists his country is fighting foreign mercenaries and al-qaeda linked militants masking themselves as the free syrian army his comments came in an interview with russia's twenty four channel his first interview in nearly six months. first of all it is not an army and it's not free they get omes and money from abroad from different countries that is why they are not free they are a bunch of criminals and have violated laws for years and have been convicted on a number of charges they also consist of religious extremists with ties to al qaida i don't just mean the organization itself but their extreme and terrorist approach they also have foreign mercenaries the west always tries to find puppets for itself syria has never been down to that on any issue they've always done that's in a trying the same with this conflict the new e.u. sanctions are felt more by ordinary people and the economy when they talk of boycotting syria they mean a boycott only by western nations kofi annan plan is not only aimed at stopping the

violence it also must help people to return back to their homes where they were forced out by the terrorists this plan has to stop the smuggling of weapons and the funding of terrorists they must put pressure and hold accountable of the states openly claiming they will support tension in syria with. the euro on shaky ground as a caretaker green government's been sworn in a senior judge will be heading it until next month's real action fears of athens quitting the single parents he had been a exacerbated by frantic cash withdrawals from the country's banks but e.u. heavyweights still hope to safeguard the euro by keeping the greeks in as artie's peter all of our reports from berlin. the attention of those who are looking to find a solution to the ongoing debt crisis in the euro zone is focused only on athens fresh elections being called for the seventeenth of june now this is following the

failure of the political parties that to form a coalition government following early elections this month now those fresh elections are essentially elections that greece a country which is suffering severe financial problems can ill afford to be hosting . and of course the people who will be taking part in those elections will essentially be the same people who have failed to form a coalition government following the last round of ballots some of those people of course as well and those some of those political parties want to see an end to austerity measures which were laid down as part of a joint e.u. i.m.f. bailout greece was set to receive in june is it risk basically the message is no will stare at the no money now in recent times we've seen around a billion dollars taken out of greek banks by investors who have become worried should greece leave the single currency leave the eurozone all of the five be

kicked out of the eurozone and have to revert back to the drachma their savings would be essentially stripped of some value the president of the european central bank mario draghi has said that the e.c.b. will not keep greece in the euro zone it any cost in fact that the it's not a matter for the e.c.b. to move the goalposts as it were to allow greece to remain within the single currency here in germany we've heard from chancellor angela merkel who has said alongside french counterpart newly sworn in french president francois hollande said that they want to see greece remain within the year. and said that they were willing to try and help greece along through its financial troubles however they said that they will also respect the the results of a ballot should greece decide to elect people that want to pull him out of the euro

zone now to finance ministers in the we'll be meeting on the thirty first of may to talk more about the ongoing crisis throughout europe throughout the eurozone and the future of the single currency what happens if greece pulls out well it's it's unprecedented there would have to be a huge change in. treaties across europe so all i hear in germany as well as across europe focused on athens the find out what's going to happen next as this story unfolds. money's been flowing out of greece for more than two and a half years now ever since as financial trouble struck economist alberto main gardy says if athens quits the euro zone it'll see cash draining from smaller economies and into the hands of bigger ones. there probably osteria he is dead osteria he is a very confusing warts by you stare at me you can mean two very different things which is one cat's expanding and the other is higher taxation the governor the

president of the e.c.b. my you that i as for can about two different kind of aus terry the good one and a bad one ben one is the one may by raising taxes to good one isn't one made by capping public expenditure the problem is the inflation and the bed kind of stare at each he's also the easy one to be consumed politically speaking but the plumbing is dead for tito even these days everything is about expectations and the waiting week to tend to looks in front of the markets international now what may happen is to add you've got greece exiting the euro where to go all following suit and money basically being to leave in a way out of the italian and spanish banks to german banks and into austrian banks very savers believe their savings will be safer and this can bring to an inordinate reaction starting with this fact of capital come to this country of course if you

have defacto capital controls basically you are saying goodbye not just where you are but to the entire dream of a unified common market orderly or disorderly a chorus of analysts are predicted a greek default later we ask a detail chakraborty economics leader writer for the guardian newspaper what he sees next for authors. people have been modeling what the greek exit from the euro zone would look like for the best part of a year politically economically politically even those who are in favor of greece leaving so. they would accept that it would involve beyond being six people it would mean going to force me to be a came to not be working it would mean that people be stopped from leaving the country especially with this forms of euros in their back pocket because they come from a penny stock. comp and to maintain

a very high level. so it would feel like a country market for. the question all in the saudis really for the rest of the year or so if the euro zone can say to the rest and to financial markets greece is leaving but we want to greece is a special case you know behind it's a bit of a basket case and actually its problems are not the rest of the euro zone that's what they really mean by an orderly exit if they can convince everyone that he greece is leaving because of greece not because of the euro i don't think the markets would buy that. watch the full interview with the economics leader writer for the guardian newspaper in just a little more than an hour here on r.t. or stay with us still to come in a few minutes the first time jackie mexican illegal immigrants no longer wish to go to the new worse it could be something many americans have wanted for a long time but soon they may start reading it according to our report for you what

which brightened a few songs from silence to. start on t.v. dot com. thousands of mexicans packing for home after finding less opportunity in the united states than they'd hoped faced with a fragile economy and a weak job market many illegal immigrants are heading back south of the border reversing a decades old trend artie's medina coach you know that has more from los angeles. three inhospitable terrain to trigger happy border guards crossing illegally from mexico into the united states is a pearl is journey which for many desperate for a new life was always thought to be worth the risk but times and more importantly khana means have certainly changed before i was so i was working even two jobs on

the or three up so that i would send some day i mean it was easy but now it's sort of thought so that if you go you can leave it and you're going to spend the money to find a good job ten years ago gustavo like many other mexicans came to california illegally to earn money provide for his family and enjoy a harsh standard of living than at home but now he has joined the rapidly swelling ranks of those thinking it's time to pack their bags and had back south because of the poverty that was in the united states even people before maybe even middle class mexicans now they're falling into the lower class and now even the lower so a lot of people are saying well i want to be poured here i might as well go back home and be or at least with my family in mexico whether wanted or not in the past . mexico has provided the largest wave of immigration from a single country into the united states but now that figure just like america's economy has come to

a grinding halt crippling unemployment and housing construction market lying idle and a sharp rise in deprecation charcoal combining to put people off seeking the good life in america during the five year period from two thousand and five to twenty ten a total net of one point four million mexicans immigrated to the united states down by more than half from the three million who had done so and the five year period often nine hundred ninety five to two thousand mexicans that come here to the u.s. and take jobs far worse labor it is whites be right because the jobs that americans were seized so those trying to. raise is what just will sell and without ron gotcha's a teacher and a community organizer believes those sharp don't worry trend can lead to more drastic consequences if they leave the crisis in the u.s.

have been host in this latest israeli artillery fire in northern and eastern gaza two people have been taken to hospital but we've been told that ambulances as well as emergency vehicles are still in the area now according to palestinian sources there was somewhere between six to eight israeli tanks and bulldozers that into gaza and according to eyewitnesses the soldiers started firing indiscriminately on farmers who were working their land were also being told that the bulldozers started bulldozing those very same plots of land speaking to the israeli army of though they say that they had not heard of any injuries they say that the israeli army is nearly conducting routine operations inside gaza but certainly we do understand that the israeli army is still inside gaza while we speak now tensions in the area have been running high for civil weeks now every few days one hears about rockets set off fired from gaza into southern israeli communities and every

so often there is a flare up in which trick from the israeli signed in terms of warning the gazans that and these radio operators in the gaza strip might not be that far off. all right that was artie's policy or they are talking to us live from tel aviv thank you very much for that update well dmitri joins us now with all the latest business news and. from the r.t. yes there you are dimitri and the russian markets taking a bit of a beating right now they are absolutely taking a beating we are seeing lows we haven't seen in two years three percent free and a half percent for russian indices this is really really bad and the bears are totally dominating is all selling no but just take a look at these figures over here the r.t.s. down three point four percent of my sex just over eight percent this out do you take a look at what's moving to my six you've pretty much get an idea the financials are

the biggest drag given as burbank accounts for the largest part of volume on the market is down five point seven percent after several comments made by mario raju the head of the e.c.b. basically the regulator will not give up its standards and norms in order to keep greece in the euro zone there's also talk of the e.c.b. stopping the funding of suspending funding of several greek banks and this is sending a chill to the russian markets which have already seen a huge amount of capital for forty two billion dollars in the first twelve months and really this is not creating an attractive image for the russian stock market among other stories seven continents is the down to posting a first quarter increase net profit almost double and also after what is down despite promising good dividends to its shareholders in europe we're also seeing a negative picture with the footsie down more than one percent the dax is a bit lower than that but better than that i should say point seven percent and

this is all of course based on these fears surrounding greece and citibank economist ibrahim everybody says that the chances are high that greece will leave the euro zone sooner or later and that that would stay and send a shockwave all across the globe which would be harsher than that from the bankruptcy of lehman brothers in two thousand and eight. it's a two thirds chance at least that greece will leave either this year or next then we could we could know the answer really quite soon the primary concern is about exit to contagion that is the concern that greece will not be the only country that would exit but that in its footsteps would follow other vulnerable countries including say portugal ireland or of course italy or spain and in that case i think the financial system in europe but also elsewhere will be under very heavy strains and on a much greater strain than was the case in the aftermath of lemur. my second what's going on in the currencies markets and the russian ruble is now

a declining against both currencies half a percent versus the dollar of the falling more than one percent in the previous session this is really really putting pressure on the russian central bank which is of course intervening to support the russian currency using out its foreign exchange and gold reserves but as you can see there with this fall of around half a percent it's not really working out much with the euro also falling against the dollar given that investors are cashing out and given that the situation in greece and in europe just in general is not improving so far still a political deadlock in the country well there's really little chance to see a big comeback of the euro versus the greenback in the near future and on the commodities market we did see a bit of a bounce back this morning on the for both plans but right now it's looking flat to negative light sweet barely changed with brant pulling gets another forty seven cents does that mean just remind you that saudi arabia has been prompting traders

across the globe to look at a price of around one hundred dollars per barrel for bread still hundred nine right now saying that it would be able to provide the extra supplies of oil should any problem with supplies arise. just the way the markets look at this so indeed a very bad day for for the bulls on the russian market a good one for the best and my colleague katie pilbeam will be back in fifty five minutes time to tell you more about that thanks very much dimitri we're looking forward to that update more on the money in a few minutes here on our team in kaiser report coming your way after the headlines still to come.
