six pm in moscow i matter as a good to have you with us here on r t our top story britain's prime minister says the eurozone is running out of time to solve its crisis david cameron tells business leaders the beleaguered single currency countries are at a crossroads demanding urgent action to avoid sparking a global depression artie's laura smith has more from london. he used these words that the eurozone has to make up or break up essentially what he's saying is support greece or see the euro zone fail he's calling for years and states and institutions to step in and help greece to support these requests holomisa not just made in italy as well as i say these are stronger words than he's ever used before he explicitly said that germany must do more and he talked about three or more tricks of the euro which is according to him a sort of rigid system that looks in any. in terms of what a country like would normally do if it had that same currency would be to value it
10:02 am
but inside the realms of the euro that's just not a possible option for them so cameron is saying that strong the states must be help help the weaker ones and he also said that the logic of a monetary union urges more political cooperation so that it takes an electorate responsibility from all the countries to help out the weaker ones that this sort of fiscal burden sharing that he's talking about and also a supportive monetary policy amongst all the countries in this people are very quick to say that of course the u.k. is not a member of the euro zone in syria no been a sense what business does cover and have particularly to criticize countries like germany and france when when the u.k.'s economy isn't necessarily involved but cameron's message today was that he wants to see the euro zone succeed because it's in every country's financial interests to have strong economic neighbors david cameron sees really his job in all this to keep britain safe is he says he says
10:03 am
it's in the u.k. interest to have these stable neighbors david cameron's message really is that he doesn't want greece to drop out of the euro zone experts are now saying that if it does happen then it could cause ten years of global depression this sort of turmoil in the financial markets that will be got over quickly also of course he won't be able to get that very austerity is at the moment failing in europe is the same. see that he's pushing in britain and also trying to push to other european countries as well so it's a politically very difficult position for him to be in what we're seeing increased at the moment is a new prime minister who's of course the kate's caretaker prime minister up until a new election can be held on the seventeenth of june and there are huge fear is that the greek people will ultimately lead to. government and if that happens it means that they won't have access to any more bailouts from euro zone countries we're seeing hunnicutt withdrawing from banks in greece and that's not just happening in greece we're hearing reports that it's happening in spain too and it
10:04 am
could possibly spread to italy there's been the recent nationalization of one of spain's biggest banks banks here reports the spanish people have also withdrawn a total of around a billion euros just in the past few days from those banks so the fear isn't that without the without greece the collapse of. greece's leaving would create a sort of house of cards in fact whereby everything else would fall down after that and of course this is against a backdrop of huge political differences between the main players in this new french president francois loans is very until the in fact he's going to says he's going to increase spending in france doesn't seem like that's the tools we've got a lot of political wrangling from these major players who according to what david cameron said today are the only once you could potentially sort this out he says caretaker government's been sworn in after a period coalition talks disintegrated another election next month likely to decide whether greece stays or leaves the euro economist alberto mcgarty says previous
10:05 am
leaders failed to deliver real reforms to the people. the european authorities have tried to push to stereotyping greece and men like we do however but at the very same time he would was accomplished in greece in terms of the leader of women liberalizing the legal market capping the size of government thing was very late to do it is to be i think at this point is highly probable that police will accede to your will in the next few weeks and it may cause a domino effect you know the mediterranean counties or two girls being eventually to leave to europe is suffering a very strong lack of leadership and a lack of vision the quality of do all those in european countries know that it's not very high and they really miss managed to crisis daily few just to see to your food do you have wallace which is a monitor in a steady one did i mean basically you had to be to georgia to wars to where it's
10:06 am
utopian unification and now we have exactly where the floor at this point if you look need to save itself you have needs to evolve into some kind of a transfer you you know i mean moving money from the pockets of reach europeans germans basically to the pockets of poor european football is there no person in germany borders are not going to be allowed to. economic journalist i detest chakraborty admits that greece cutting itself loose from the euro wouldn't be easy and athens may yet be in for worse here some away over here later this hour. people have been modeling what a greek exit from the euro zone would look like the best part of a year politically and economically politically even those who are in favor of anything so. they would accept that it would involve beyond the streets the people that it would mean by the fourth because the a came from not be working it
10:07 am
would mean that people be stopped from even a country especially with this for those of euros in. because the country that they need to stop before we come and to maintain a high level move so it would feel like a country marshal. the question all in the saudis really for the rest of the eurozone if the euro zone can say to the rest and to financial markets look greece is leaving but we all know that greece is a special case you know behind our hands will say it's a bit of a basket case and its problems and not the rest of the euro zone that's what they really mean by an orderly exit if they can convince everyone that greece is leaving because of greece not because of the euro i don't think the markets would buy that . and still ahead this hour giving up by going after a better ally we explain why mexican illegal immigrants choosing to leave the u.s. and what it could mean for the country's economy. but first israel's denying
10:08 am
reports its army shelled parts of gaza wounding several civilians the claim came from palestinian doctors who say they are treating the wounded the latest from our middle east correspondent paula so we're. here we're being told that anything between four and seven gazans have been hurt 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 entered gaza and according to eyewitnesses the soldiers started firing indiscriminately on farmers who were working their land also being told that the borders was 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
10:09 am
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 several weeks now every few days one hears about rockets that are fired from gaza into southern israeli communities and every so often there is a flare up in rhetoric from the israeli signed in terms of warning the gazans that any israeli operation in the gaza strip might not be that far off in addition is all is building walls along its borders with its arab neighbors it's essentially barricading itself in according to what many critics say it's been building a wall along its southern border with the sinai and with egypt it's also recently began building a wall in the north along the israeli lebanese border and this is in addition to the wall it's building in the palestinian west bank. a lonely house on a hilltop tells the whole story of palestinian plots of land passed down through the generations now under threat i don't read
10:10 am
a number i don't want. i want my ground and for his insistence almost paying the price is small property is on the wrong side of the wall tel aviv is building between israel and the palestinians and what was once or more was part of a larger village he'll soon be cut off from it and alone on the other side from this time i fear for me the. israeli tractors have already for eight months been building the prison or refers to digging up the ground around his house the plan will see his home cut off by a five meter high electrified fence and a tunnel monitored by security cameras will connect him with a larger village. after. the experience for. this this this road and go for. the rest of the tunnel and go. the side she's got all this done two hundred fifty meter. this done the.
10:11 am
ball for this five million on hundred thousand one million dollars just to build this down for just only one for me. for a decade already israel's been building a wall that cuts through the west bank these raby states for security but palestinians complain it saves them from their land and communities the leadership of israel is going crazy and they have no real plan their have no really vision no real vision of a very long term israel because walls will not and will never ever provide security for this one is a good neighbor is actually provide security and we do not have good neighbors eventually the village of larger will also be completely closed in by the wall the only way in and out will be through this entrance that the israelis will control here too the israelis are building another tunnel. this one is so that omar's neighbors can reach a small family cemetery they'll be electrified fence and the local joke is that not only are the israelis separating palestinians from their lend they're separating
10:12 am
the living from the dead but with each tilt of the soil most families connection to the land is threatened to be even more suited for much of. what they can do just id term future in. this and this for you and this money for. the future it's. like if you are two times against him and with every new brick it goes up the family's isolation is cemented policy r.t. will lodge a village the syrian government has released the names of alleged foreign terrorist it says it's captured on its soil twenty said to be arabs who have confessed to working for al qaeda analyst also includes french and british citizens let's get some reaction on this from u.k. based anti-war rebels don't broadcaster neil clark so how credible do you think
10:13 am
this latest statement from damascus is and do you think it can be verified. i think it's credible that is because i think it's not just president assad who's saying it tallies with what we other sources we got a lot of reports a lot of sources which deets how extensively the link the form of terrorists that are operating in syria. we go back to last december there was a report in the american conservative magazine by the ex cia field officer put it the rowdy who's talking about this sort of thing happening and of course if we don't believe president assad well what about the words of a leader of al qaeda who's called. radical muslims around the globe to come you know quite the what he calls the concerts regime in damascus so that's the situation though washington is denying media reports in the washington post of indirect involvements and smuggling arms through to the syrian rebels what reaction do you expect to that considering the vehement anti assad sentiment of the u.s. i do that we can take it seriously because of course of course america is going to deny having any involvement in this that the truth is the mathematics is the usa
10:14 am
and saudi arabian house has been involved in trying to be stabilized the damascus regime and bring about regime change and they're doing everything they possibly can to destroy the peace plan you know millions of dollars of weaponry going into syria and backing terrorists as i said for that report. on how u.s. forces british forces french forces training terrorists and i'm sad forces in turkey to fight the regime so of course they're going to deny it but the fact is this is all about regime change difficult to topple assad and get in a more robust and very cheap in syria and so that on the other side of what is your reaction to this u.n. draft resolution that we're hearing about talking about in violation of the sanctions iran sending weapons to the syrian regime will it redefines the word what's but doesn't it it's outrageous it's absolutely outrageous that you've got the western powers who have been fighting these proxy war against syria for over a year now and they have the audacity and the nerve to blame another country for
10:15 am
getting him where there's no evidence of that. and in fact the evidence shows that it's the western powers and their allies who are who are involved in this and i think it's beyond belief that they would even have the nerve to put this through trying to put this through the u.n. we're seeing a major split in rebel ranks with the exiled syrian national council disavowed by opposition coordination committees in syria how do you think that would affect the situation on the ground. well i think the syrian national council we knew before this week that they were very fractured in divided opposition anything that unites these people of the regime and these are the very people of course the the west wants to believe or a government in waiting william hague has praised them in the past and it's quite clear that these bunch of jokers couldn't run the corner shop i mean if they were put in charge of one shot they'd be arguing about the price of coffee and sugar. and so really the idea that the s.n.c. can actually replace the sound regime is ludicrous and if they really have the level of support they claim to have remember that they claim that they've got over
10:16 am
sixty percent support if that was actually true about them why didn't they put their names for the elections to consider a democratic framework to sow the domestic problems in syria through elections president assad has said that the elections last week so why aren't the s.n.c. tend to part in those elections if they really did represent the majority of syrian opinion do you think the s.o.c. has the credibility to govern the country. and they haven't and if they did simply why don't they contest elections because as i said just now you know if they are that popular why don't they contest elections i think that credibility has zero now we see local action committees saying they don't want to have anything to do with them again the leaders who said he's going to resign these are a group of people that contains so many different viewpoints and the only thing good night some of these they want to get rid of assad heaven help is if they were in charge of syria. one of the chances that the u.n. observer mission to have at this point considering these latest developments. well i mean it all depends on really if the west changes its policy because the west has
10:17 am
been hoping that the u.n. mission would fail right from the beginning they'd be negative about it they've been trying to blame the syrian government reaching a cease fire at the same time. helping the rebels. and helping them with weapons coming in trying to destabilize the regime so it all depends really if there's going to be a shift from the west to give up on this one if the west decides that they will stop this trying to be stabilize the president assad regime and allow syria to follow its own democratic to allow the syrian people to decide this then there is a chance that it can still succeed but it's all down to the west and change their policy for a u.k. journalist and broadcaster neil clark thanks for time thank you. syria's president has rotted on the un back peace plan for failing to stop civilian bloodshed more than a month into the cease fire firelands remains high in a rare television appearance president assad told russia's twenty four travel that his country is fighting foreign mercenaries masking themselves as the free syrian
10:18 am
army. not only for the west always tries to find puppets for itself syria has never been down to that on any issue they've always done that so they're trying the same with this conflict the new e.u. sanctions are felt more by ordinary people in the economy when they talk of boycotting syria they mean a boycott only by western nations kofi annan his plan is not only aimed at stopping the violence it must also help people to return back to their homes where they were forced out by terrorists this plan has to stop the smuggling of weapons and the funding of terrorists it must put pressure and hold accountable other states openly claiming that they will support tension in syria if they only talk about violence coming from the government side and not a word about terrorists. and over to r.t. dot com anytime to get more in today's top stories here's what else is online moscow police just for this is yet another opposition camp angering protesters find
