two. heads over syria. as president putin faces the german chancellor the fate of the euro and joint business deals also and. on the brink of civil war the u.n. and warns the envoys peace plan for syria must be observed in the country to the point of no return. and early estimates suggest most irish people say yes to talk to financial control from brussels despite fears that sovereign will be sacrificed . a very warm welcome to you from all of us here at moscow wrong research showing
8:01 am
peace prospects for syria europe's financial future and a number of key business deals they're all in the focus for the russian president and the german chancellor in berlin right now with putin on the first series of short visits abroad since he returned to the top job just last month he's expected to face pressure to back new action against damascus and going off. moscow is in strong opposition to the west on syria since many western states have taken the side of the opposition and don't exclude foreign military intervention into the situation there which moscow is strongly against and earlier the german foreign minister said that russia has to stop supporting president assad it's expected that chancellor angela merkel is going to try to talk into applying more pressure on syria enough towards what moscow has been saying the entire time that it's for a balanced approach and for equal pressure on both sides but serious serious
8:02 am
business is business and it's highly likely that syria is going to somehow fact german russian relationship in that sense last year the free turnover reached nearly eighty billion dollars which puts germany on the second place among russia's business partners after china. ford has a reason why around a third on both sides also and of course energy plays a very important role in that specifically the north stream pipeline project which sends russian gas to directly to the european union and germany plays a very important role in that as well in fact chancellor angela merkel italy are said to be more theme pipelines come back city could be increased if there's a demand from the european consumers because clearly this is a relationship is equally beneficial for both science and after berlin was put in

its plans to go to france to meet with the french president to continue his european war. has gone off reporting that now the un human rights chief has warned there could be a full scale civil war in syria unless kofi annan is peace plan is followed the question also called for an investigation into the killing of more than one hundred people in a houla last week saying it may amount to crimes against humanity the syrian government's blaming rebel terror groups for the masses. which it says are seeking to trigger a foreign military action but it's a claim the u.s. strongly rejects secretary of state hillary clinton says being drawn up to intervene in syria she also criticized russia's position in the kremlin to put pressure on damascus but moscow has vowed to block any moves for outside interference of the un and he walked us sara flounders says america has never been interested in a diplomatic solution to the crisis. it's important to know that it's the u.s.
8:04 am
and nato who are creating a civil war in syria in terms of arming commando mercenaries thugs flooding the country with weapons doing everything that they can to destabilize syria and the latest massacre in houla is just one more example because it's this exact scenario that the u.s. has used to justify quote humanitarian intervention in the past and after they create total destabilization send in all sorts of mercenaries and armed groups and they claim that they're going in in order to save the situation it's absolute hypocrisy and fraud and they've done it with the u.n. security council support and they've done it without u.n. security council support and we've seen this in the past and it's clear that the u.s. is not interested in a diplomatic solution they are in every way trying to move toward military
8:05 am
intervention which means massive destruction of the entire country but they're already responsible for great destruction. now russia's position on syria has been supported by china with the two following to strive for a diplomatic solution to the cult flic of both states have used the veto powers at the u.n. twice to block what they called unbalanced resolutions on syria and while some nations have kicked out syrian diplomats cutting ties with damascus moscow and beijing relations with syria could actually help to resolve the crisis according to one chinese expert. the world sees russia as a very strong syrian ally where should people perceive china as basically supporting russia in this initiative and a lot of the reason is that china has been very soft spoken and very quiet about their support for syria he also questions in syria right now it is that if you view it as military intervention what comes next and i think that there's not
8:06 am
a lot of calls for military intervention because there's been a lot of bloodshed but even if people are dying right now the end result of the government will be bloodshed and thousands possibly tens of thousands so i think what russia and china are understanding is that they have a lot of sway over the syrian government perhaps one of the policy in this instance was far more practical than a u.n. sanction or u.n. condemnation of what's happening in syria right now on the conflict in syria is spilling over into neighboring lebanon where deadly sectarian clashes have broken out in several cities there's also a growing influx of syrian refugees with areas divided between pro and anti assad supporters is more if an option and now has more from eleven on. this move on the outskirts of tripoli in lebanon you've shown to two five syrian families running away from atrocities and violence in their own land owner long as we were forced to
8:07 am
leave shelling in homs never stopped we were afraid to leave the house violence was part of everyday life we were just tired. to be to bloodshed means the just ten boys like ali have had their childhoods tellen from them he now has to earn money to help his family he shows us what he does for seven dollars per week the boy no longer sounds like a child that i want to join the rebels i want to fight refugees complain they live here in lebanon is really hard no work not enough money and often not even a roof over their heads but it's not just women and children who fled the syrian nightmare ahmed a spokesperson for the syrian refugees in lebanon says the run around one hundred activists among them who continue their resistance here and sometimes we make their moods protests this is a call for the international community for humanitarians and even lebanese
8:08 am
authorities that we need help we need more attention many though fear that this attention may bring in its wake even more trouble serious threat in the city of tripoli separates the white and sunni neighborhoods in this part of you know what i'll be running like a murderer between those who support the syrian president and his regime and those who want him out their own device because just as the conflict in neighboring syria does and with the spillover of violence from across the border are being felt here now that it will send tensions between these terror becoming even more pronounced while we were in town we heard the sound of an explosion to many of the scenes says he's the owner of this house where just minutes ago a grenade was thrown he says the man lives in an area known for being pro assad portrays of the syrian leader on every building here including the one now badly damaged the victim is very quick to come to a conclusion. a grenade was thrown from
8:09 am
a sunni area they hate assad and they hate us. but while he's blaming his opponents in lebanon for. destroyed house he's blaming the unrest in syria for destroying his peaceful life by spreading to his community. this is all from syria refugees they come here radicals a salafist support them and this is how violence increases while we are supposed to be one family here. lebanon has been blighted by recent trouble it witnessed an almost fifteen year loan civil war syrian troops were stationed here for three decades and only left in two thousand and five meaning they've never had too many sympathizers in lebanon but more recently the country had managed to keep religious and political tensions and bay now the syrian crisis seems to put that fragile calm at trieste duration ocean r.t. tripoli lebanon. it is good to have you with us here on our still to come for you
8:10 am
in the program the concerns of legality and impact on civil liberties forces parliamentary committees to reject the controversial anti piracy agreement. and india stands a shoulder to shoulder with iran voicing support for its trading partner despite mounting pressure from the u.s. . ten minutes past the hour here in moscow early results suggest said yes to the e.u. backed fiscal treaty drawn up in response to the eurozone debt crisis the plan was supported by the government trade unions but critics worry that now control of the country's finances will be handed to brussels along with its sovereignty let's get more now from our teams on the following the whole referendum in dublin good to see you today so the majority voted yes some might call that a big surprise some minority. and not so much of a surprise we don't think the counting is not over yet but it certainly looks like
8:11 am
the yes campaign has carried the date by a majority of about sixty to forty as i say counting not finished yet we'll have more precise results later on in the day that there has been a strong no campaign hit in ireland including from gerry adams the head of sinn fein he's now islands most political most popular political leader yes as you said very well supported by the majority of islands main political parties and these trade unions and. campaigns have literally linked to the country with political. every billboard on every page has been something to do with the referendum i haven't seen too much political literature anywhere and what has emerged is the split between rich and poor between andrew we've seen a yes vote coming from a lot of the middle classes a lot of people from small towns in rural areas in ireland we've seen a no vote coming from a lot of the poor people who were. los been a city in
8:12 am
a city areas where the yes campaign has been criticized for operating on really a very negative basis from a basis of fear that critics say that there hasn't been a single positive message in the yes campaign is all been about about fear you know if you don't vote yes island will be on its own it won't be able to benefit from any more european bailout austerity will be deeper and it will last for longer and many of course have succumb to that message some of them reluctantly even know the eurozone itself is in deep trouble so that support that the yes vote would suggest is that may not come at all well or let's talk about the broader scope here what exactly does the fiscal treaty of mean for your opposing home. the fiscal treaty is aimed at restoring confidence in the euro which of course has taken a huge battering in recent months it means much closer coordination of national budget within the euro is saying to everyone in the e.u. is then managing their budgets in the same way it's a sort of a carrot in
8:13 am
a stick his well the european court of justice will then check whether countries are managing their budgets properly that the balance budget will be written into the law all of these countries who have accepted the treaty and then if the european court of justice finds that they're not balancing them there will be five of these countries the island though here it means more of the same really that people have been suffering here for an extra taxes for householders much more money due from small businesses a lot of quite natural pressure they're all to pay off banking debts and people see this as just a loss of super into which is of some sort of ideological message but also a loss of economic control and will no longer really be able to control a large part of how its economy it's run and economists believe of course that group is the answer but this will mean the island will be able to put its own party plan into place it won't be able to invest money in the economy to creating more jobs and to get the economy out of this mess so really the sense. the message of
8:14 am
the yes campaign was stability but the no campaign basis had said you know who wants to remain stable in this mess that ireland is in now and it looks like that's what's going to happen all right with a life in dublin thank you. see we've got a lot more stories that are to talk let's see what's waiting for you there i know of for example spanish in mind as a scuffle with police during a demonstration of nearly ten thousand in the capital but they're angry about budget cuts putting their jobs at risk. on galactica collision of the milky way is going to crash with the neighboring and galaxy it would dramatically change the view of the night sky from us to truth but when we find out on our website. he.

8:19 am
forging ahead india's severely energy deficient its imports. growing but it's even up to ninety per cent of the over requirements you don't become the two souls. quoting it you to sources and many say the same simply won't work without india since its iran is biggest oil customer and so the united states finds itself in the position of courting india's cooperation for its plan to be successful hillary clinton recently visited india during her asia tour trying to sell america's strategy to isolate iran but leaders here in india won't budge while they have reduced imports on iranian oil slightly they say they won't ever stop completely their reasoning extends beyond just india's energy needs with one of the fastest growing economies in the world iran is an important partner for india to
8:20 am
continue to grow in the future india is in talks with fourteen other countries to use iranian highways railroads and ports to connect it to parts of central asia and europe and half the time it currently takes if you are going to have a trading relationship i mean could only dilution ship or any going to relationship with the countries of central asia this is the only way to be have been helping in building. a little bit with but for you in trying. to link up. ports into central asia and iran also serves as india's only link to afghanistan a place that has plenty of mineral resources india is keen to get its hands on and to place the united states should want to front easily get to once they pull out their troops in twenty fourteen this is the what both the interests of all of us to enter. that of god is that is linked to the world through communication
8:21 am
means that cannot be disrupted that will that it has the ability to export its resources and therefore make somebody india say isolating iran it won't work and it's time for the americans to take a step back we're going to encourage the americans to look at the bigger picture because not only are we going to be affected but they too will be affected so i think perhaps and it's a hope that better sense will prevail and that they would be a peaceful outcome flexing its muscles protecting its interests and not bowing down to pressure from the west pressure either r.t. new delhi india. it is good to have you with us here on our team today still to come for you where we report on a volunteer community that helps to find missing children all across russia is a preview. child missing.
8:22 am
police in effect. lost. every single meter of the forest here's the girl. it was too late. the spirit lives saved by these voluntary scouting force is the. one life. and you can watch that special report in just over an hour's time here on r.t. for now though let's cross over to marina standing by at our business desk good to see you today. n.k.p. pay what's happened this time yes us through our we've seen the conflict between the corners of think everybody for many years now but this time there will a since it has reached a boiling point basically p.p. is now pursuing its half in the russo british oil from the recently resigned c.e.o. . has warned that warn all of the two partners needed to take full control of the
8:23 am
firm otherwise the joint venture would be paralyzed meanwhile the financial times says b.p. has received a buy offer from one of the russian state companies and analysts estimate that fifty percent stake in russia's third biggest oil producer to be at around thirty billion dollars and while there are no guarantees that any friends action will take place let's say coffin from what i'll see it says the possibility is quite high. there's been disagreement apparently between. the russian partners. over how to use the money cash flow generated by by the russian operation it's going to be holding and apparently big pay you would like to get it all as cash is dividends for us the russian side would like to use the car for global expansion and if if this disagreement goes on it it's perfectly conceivable that b.p. might want to sell out of this rather successful russian operation or the
8:24 am
interesting question here is whether we want to and will try to outbid. potential and get a no good whether it would seek to control the whole company one hundred percent of itself. all right let's take a look at the markets will start with there's a lot of risk aversion going on pretty much across the board and that's how we see the red figures everywhere the r.t.s. and stomping around two and a half percent this hour on the my six is a lagging behind out about almost one and a half percent there and less likely that some individual share moves on that the my six naturally it's a sea of red is losing over three percent now we've been reporting on b.p. and it's almost dropping its hand for sun heading there and that's of course our new selfies possible exit there now let's take a look at a currency is the russian ruble is still losing ground against the dollar and fact
8:25 am
it's lost ten percent of its value for the month of may and is currently trading at a three year low as well earlier we spoke to eventually caught up and he's the chief analyst renaissance capital and he explained why a week of ruble could actually help russia overcome europe's financial storm. well actually. weakening a little bit will necessarily help with the russian economy grow but i think that the week will help ensure the russian economy. and once again this was the very reason and the very purpose for the central bank to move to such an exchange rate arrangement before the two thousand and eight crisis we had a fixed exchange rate so. welcome the one for the russian economy right now it is the ruble but the speaking. and i think it's a good thing for the russian economy right now from the ruble to the euro let's take a look at european markets it's a sea of red if we can take a look at the latest numbers that the footsie is dropping almost one percent of all
8:26 am
the dykes is over two and a half percent in the red and there we have investors feeling disappointed after the negative p.m.i. data coming out from the region and also investors are really looking forward to see what the numbers will be like when the u.s. jobs that have come out later in the day now let's move on and take a look at oil prices which i can sing you into had south never a good day for the russian markets of course and we saw their reaction there they have light sweet trading at around eighty four dollars per barrel while the private lenders are ninety eight dollars per barrel and in fact this has been the longest weekly losing streak in over five and a half years now in other news we know that the spike global economic uncertainties the growth of private wealth in russia was one of the fastest in the world year business advisor b.c.g. says the country's households became twenty one percent richer and eleven times more than the global average wealth growth last year however most of that money was made by multimillionaires that control around forty percent of the country's
