president putin and chancellor merkel to prevent civil war in syria through the u.n. and prays growing trade and energy ties has got to be uprooted visits. on the brink the u.n. warns that its envoys peace plan for syria must be observed or the country could pass the point of no return. but at least six people are injured in northern consumers and nato peacekeepers tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters. plus the five point three. british partners consider selling their stake all the details and there's about twenty minutes.

around the clock around the world this is r.t. with news and comment live from moscow. as valid to do what he can to prevent syria from sliding into civil war but repeated his stance that it's important not to take sides in the conflict the comments came as the russian president and the german chancellor met in berlin with putin on his first series of short visits abroad since he returned to the top job last month. is in in but. if we are as are saying that the most important thing at the moment is to prevent this situation there in syria to growing into a full throttle civil war and the only way to do that and that's agreed upon by both what your question and then go on there is through political measures through the united nations through the coffee on peace plan to nations specifically the united states have already said that they are not excluding the possibility of

foreign military intervention into the situation there in syria even if it means going around the united nations and once again stressed that russia is standing for a balanced approach where equal pressure has to be applied on board science just a good idea that i'm still right here but usually they say russia is unilaterally supporting the acid regime we have longstanding good relations with syria will be on supporting any side of the conflict if there is a threat to civil war i agree with chancellor merkel that our community is to prevent this scenario what we're seeing today is the start of a civil war this is extremely dangerous we want to stop violence no matter where it comes from both russia and germany and other partners we can to prevent violence from escalating and help un envoy kofi annan now russia does have contracts on the supply of forms to the syrian authorities and what you know putin has also reiterated that the arms supplied by the russian federation to see could not be

possibly used in any civil conflict the eurozone crisis is a very important and stressful issue for both sides both for russia and for germany and i do know that russia's reserves around forty percent of them are held in euros . looking for ways to get the eurozone out of the crisis first of all a decision for the members of the eurozone itself but of course russia will be assisting in its own. possible ways and of course energy cooperation in general is one of the most important aspects of the cooperation between russia and germany i mean of course the north korean point point project which is an international project with russia and germany and is aimed through saying the russian gas directly to the european union germany has been chosen as the first western nation for his visit since returning to office earlier in may now. planning to

head off to france to meet with the french president there continuing his european tour. un human rights chief was warned there could be a full scale civil war in syria unless kofi annan peace plan is followed the commission also called for an investigation into the killing of more than one hundred people who last week the members of the un's top human rights body also condemning. forces the syrian government blamed rebel terrorist groups which it says is seeking to trigger a foreign military action it's a claim the u.s. strongly rejects even as secretary of state hillary clinton admits plans are being drawn up to intervene in syria. to sort of says america's never been interested in the diplomatic outcome there. it's important to know that it's the u.s. 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 intervention which means massive destruction of the entire country but they're already responsible for great destruction. russia's position on syria's been

supported by china with the two vowing to strive for a non violent solution to the conflict both states have use their veto powers at the u.n. twice now to block what they called balance resolutions in syria and while some nations of kicked out syrian diplomats cutting ties of damascus moscow and beijing relations with syria it could help resolve the crisis according to a chinese expert the world sees russia as a very strong ally where people perceive china basically supporting russia in this initiative and a lot of the reason china has been very soft spoken and very quiet about their support for syria the office i should say in syria right now it is to give you a version of three intervention what comes next and i think that there's a lot of pause for military action because this would be a low blow sure but even if people are dying right now the end result of your government would 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. in this instance far more practical than a u.n. sanction or u.n. condemnation of what's happening in syria right now. the conflict in syria is spilling over into neighboring lebanon where the 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 the notion has more now from lebanon. this small house in the outskirts of tripoli in lebanon gives shelter to five syrian families running away from atrocities and violence in their homeland oh not long as we were forced to 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 talman 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 would 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 move those protests this is a call for the international community for humanitarians and even lebanese authorities that we meet our we need some 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 whites 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 of their own device because just as the conflict in neighboring syria does and with the spillover of violence from across the border being felt here now that it will send tensions between these two 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 along with grenades thrown from a sunni area they hate assad and they hate us. but while he's blaming his opponents in lab. and for the 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 sign of fists 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 long 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 bait now the syrian crisis seems to put that fragile kong at trieste duration ocean r.t. tripoli lebanon. get we have a lot more stories on dot com our web site here's what's waiting for you there at the moment online. spanish miners scuffle with police during a demonstration of nearly ten thousand in the capital about budget cuts putting their jobs at risk. and the galactic collision the entire up milky way is going to

crash with the neighboring andromeda galaxy it would dramatically change the view of the night sky from earth but when i find out what i website. said yes to the back fiscal treaty drop off in response to the eurozone debt crisis the plan was supported by the government and trade unions but critics worry that now control of the country's finances will be handed to brussels along with its sovereignty. has been following the referendum in dublin. well i guess ultimately the choice was between the devil they knew and the devil they didn't and we all know how that one usually plays out the devil they knew in this case was of course e.u. backed off cyrus which is now being written into irish nor will be when this is all died down all of course according to the yes campaign of fear of not being. quite so heavily anymore not being able to benefit from potential bailouts from the

e.u. that might be needed further on down the line it was a large majority in the end in fact there had been a strong campaign but the large majority of major political parties in ireland were always. littering the country with billboards and. every single post is covered in billboards and post is talking about who should vote how the us campaign is being criticized for working on a sort of a negative basis they've been accused of not having a single positive message in their campaign they've been saying if you don't yes you are that's going to have to go it alone it's not going to be able to benefit from any more bailouts austerity in this case will possibly be deeper. and many it seemed to come to that message under that pressure basically for the safer choice for the devil that they know where the treaty as a whole is aimed at restoring confidence in the euro which as we know it has been the embattled recently. having much coordination of budgets in the european union

said everyone's managing their money in the same way and it really means more of the same as far as we can see extra taxes for households as more financial pressure on small businesses which are already suffering to pay off these these banking debts people. if you like is the loss of sovereignty but of course it also means that they have less control over the way that their economy is run economists believe that growth is the answer to this but what it is partly means is that to be able to money into its own country to to fund the creation of jobs. that kind of thing so. in order to get the economy out of the mess but instead at the moment the central message of the u.s. campaign was stability and it turns out that's the message that people have but what others are saying is why would we want stability when we're in such a mess we need to move forward. israel has launched an air strike on gaza or after alone palestinian gunman broke into israeli territory and killed

a soldier rocket landed in a residential area and wounded four people two of them critically well let's discuss this with dr seuss he's a political analyst there in gaza what do you make of israel's response with this rocket strike. i think the israeli army would learn to respond to a killed one israeli soldier this early morning think the people in gaza now have the fear that israeli army might attack more civilians and civilian areas. especially in the area where the israeli soldier was killed this morning i did see in time of thing the the attack itself which was this morning by a palestinian media turn was an individual attack against an israeli your need to which was alongside the gaza strip from the golan the only belonging to the israeli military forces this i think comes and made their frustration of young palestinians

who are still feel the continuation of this radio. and they still feel there are thousands of prisoners in israeli jails and i guess at the same time the care which came in the morning by the palestinian young man feeling that he might be able to kidnap an israeli soldier or bring him into gaza strip in order to have a swap deal with the israeli military forces to bring out some hundreds of palestinian political prisoners but we've seen relative calm over the last few months along the gaza border and of course we also saw on thursday israel handing the bodies of ninety one palestinian militants to authorities in the west bank in an attempt it said to encourage the stalled peace talks so why are we seeing this sudden increase of tension now. well i think all militant faction at this time to be announced they did not have any responsibility was such

operation and. everybody knows now when it goes astray was committed by a palestinian militant a young man who as i said before that he feels the frustration against israeli policy against the palestinian people and old palestinian factions to be insisted be still focused on the. call with their israeli side and i think up to this mormon the situation has been. not much tension despite this people have the fear that the israeli military might to strike overnight. the night is coming now in gaza strip as you can see there people come to have such fear that such an attack by the israeli military might be over might so we're seeing fear on behalf of the palestinians against israelis but we are seeing some positive signs are we not within gaza itself the political factions hamas and fatah in the west bank they

seem to be on the mend as both acknowledged unity is needed to achieve peace so as i say some sort of cooperation between girls on the west bank at the moment that surely is a good sign is it not. well i think saw that the unity between policy as for the media and the mass is come to the implementation we have been talking for the boss a few days in the next in the next week or two we're going to witness the establishment of a new palestinian government hopefully this would be in two weeks' time this would change the political scene in gaza and in the west bank in which we can see. a unity in the ground and the policy and offer what you will be stronger facing the israeli policy i think this would force clean the policy and the stand position against the occupation forces at the same time if this unity is really implemented i think this with. more support from the international community or from the e.u.

on the former russia to the palestinian people in their own we to resist the israeli occupation forces by diplomacy by piece by by resistance by all means but policy and would have i think about unity. bring more stability to the policy to society as well. to mystic thoughts there thank you very much indeed dr seuss' joining us live there in gaza thank you. well least six people have been wounded in northern cos of in clashes between protesters and nato led peacekeepers the serbs tried to prevent removal of the barricades they set up last year on the border in response to an attempt by cost of an n e authorities to take control of it political analyst alexander public in belgrade says foreign presence only stirs up trouble. the nato forces which are being called peacekeepers

are actually trying to use force to force the course of the serbs to accept living in independent kosovo which they won't accept and that's the whole root of the problem this morning they've actually fired live ammunition at people trying to keep the barricades and they're trying to keep the barricades to prevent. baiting regime from priest or not to get a hold of the north northern part of the territory so actually this morning we've had wounded civilians wounded by so-called peacekeepers using live ammunition against bare handed people on our own people so actually peace is the last thing that on their mind unfortunately i do want to say that this was something at the beginning of june which was to be expected because there is a sort of a power vacuum in belgrade right now we've just had parliamentary and presidential elections but we do not have a functioning government we only have a technical government so actually what's nato and the e.u. and the u.s.

are doing they're using the power vacuum in belgrade to try to to establish a new reality on the ground in kosovo now to some other news making headlines around the world at this stage of the day in world update seven people have been killed and thirteen injured in a suicide attack in the eastern afghan city of cost the taliban claims its fighters rammed the vehicle packed with explosives into a nato base their finances spread across the country since the taliban began its spring offensive in april the going to target foreign troops and government forces . thousands of gathering to protest against a presidential candidate who was part of the revolution the mubarak regime they want to be barred from the race for the country's top job he'll be in the second round runoff against the muslim brotherhood's mohamed mursi and protests comes just a day off to egypt's controversial decades long emergency law expired. india has dealt a fresh blow to america and europe's attempts to force iran to stop enriching

uranium just one month before unprecedented sanctions against the islamic republic come into force new delhi the biggest buyer of iranian oil said their trade will not be affected. as the story. india has taken a stand despite washington's ongoing pressure to stop buying oil from iran india is forging ahead india is severely deficient it's important. growing but it's even up to ninety per cent of the over requirements you don't become the two souls. according at you to sources and many say the same simply won't work without india since it's 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 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're going to have a trading relationship i mean can i make relationship or don't you go to relationship with the countries oath. this is the only way to be have been helping in building. it will do it will be you in trying. to link up cool 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

a 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 ensure. that. is linked to the world through communication means that cannot be disrupted that will that it has the ability to export its sources 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 trying to encourage the americans to look at the bigger picture because not only are we going to be affected but will be affected so i think perhaps and it's our hope the. peaceful outcome flexing its muscles protecting its interests and not bowing down to pressure from the west pressure either r t new delhi india. or nearly twenty four minutes past the hour

now on the russian capital over has the latest business news worsened the merino some disappointing figures from what i understand. we have negative data coming out from both china we have the u. way us europe's of course also having a positive effect on the markets and i'll get to that in a minute but first i want to talk about the drama that's unfolding between the co-owners of c. and k. b.p. basically this time it's region boiling point and b.p. is now considering its have in the russo british oil forum now the recently resigned c. even has warned that one of the two partners mosse take full control of the firm otherwise the joint venture with our allies meanwhile the financial times says b.p. has received a buy offer from one of the russian state companies and here in moscow after many rumors the head of rolls that satan has said that his company was not binah stake in seeing that such

a decision requires the market and alice's analysts estimate the fifty percent stake in russia's third biggest oil producer to be at around thirty billion dollars and while there are no guarantees that i don't. it will take place alex a call came from oil cvs says the possibility is quite high. there's been disagreement apparently between b.p. and their russian partners. over how to use the money the steady cash flow generated by by the russian operation to be holding. and apparently big pay you would like to get all this cash is dividends for us the russian side would like to use the car for global expansion and if if this disagreement goes on that it's perfectly conceivable that b.p. might want to sell out if this were all the successful russian operation or the interesting question here is whether we want to run the world try to outbid.

potential and get our no good whether it would seek to control the whole company one hundred percent of that itself. or let's take a look at some enter the national markets we'll start with russia markets here and of the trade in session in the red the arts yes loss of a one percent and then my success over half a percent we've seen a lot of risk aversion going on right now and especially with the russian markets decline in oil prices of course have a tremendous effect and i'll get to that in a second also we're seeing that russian markets are tracking overseas and losses because we've seen most of the markets are in the red to day ok let's want to take a look at currencies before we take a look at those markets the euro is again in against the u.s. dollar and when it comes to the ruble it's trading at a year loans i guess the u.s. dollar and in fact it sets have percents all for its value for the month of may as you can see and when it comes to the ruble against the euro it's also lose and

they're now moving on so they do west as i said a sea of red across the board so it's hardly a surprise that the thousand is not a one of the half percent and the nasdaq is setting. over there we have negative data that came out and that has to do with the number of jobs generated for the month of may and of this estimate out that we would see one hundred sixty five thousand jobs added in the end all we go was sixty nine thousand which was obviously way below expectations and the odds are really sit well with investors moving on to europe investors there were reacting to negative u.s. soldiers that up all of them had their own bad news and that was negative p.m.i. data that fell below expectations for the region and the markets there and that the footsie of one percent over in the red and the dax almost three and a half percent lower something to look at the prices as i said they're heading south and actually this could be their longest weekly meeting streak in five and

a half years because the lights move this friday at around eighty three dollars per barrel and the friend blood had enjoyed ninety nine dollars and this is what i have for you in this edition of business point out back to you bill in the studio thanks very much indeed for that update. all in the money capital account we'll learn mr from washington coming up shortly but first the headlines in just a couple of moments couple of minutes stay with us in moscow.
