i'm not. trying to see eye to eye the leaders of russia and the u.s. meet at the g. twenty summit in mexico to mull over a divisive issues. first important to president obama outlined common ground on syria and pledged to continue dialogue on washington's controversial european missile shield all the details just ahead. also as the summit world leaders raise the alarm over a lack of progress in dealing with the eurozone debt crisis which they say threatens to bring the global economy crashing down. plus nuclear power there ron stands firm on its right to peaceful atom as western officials try to pressure the country into submission during international conference in moscow.

i am of the russian capital watching r t joshua welcome to the program president vladimir putin and barack obama have pledged commitment to solving syria diplomatically and preventing civil war there the deadlock in the middle east was just want to show you the two halves discussed on the sidelines of the g. twenty summit in mexico got to shake out is there for our. meeting of the two leaders lasted around two hours and that's a lot for a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of a summit the range of issues on their table was huge the leaders came out with a joint statement on syria they both agreed that syrian people should decide their own fate and that a political not military process is needed to prevent a civil war that's what russia has been saying all along as was pointed out by

president putin he saw common grounds in their approach on syria it might sound surprising to many because the rather break so far between russia and the u.s. has been very tense on syria with the two countries accusing each other of stoking violence there on iran's the leaders came up with a very general statement to and that is that iran should provide maximum transparency on its nuclear program and abide by the u.n. nonproliferation treaty there were some bilateral issues on the table such as the u.s. missile defense shield in europe russia still has no guarantees that it won't be aimed at russia at some point the u.s. refuses to give those guarantees and arguably be a like chance of coming up in the u.s. moscow and washington will be able to move forward on not much all of the leaders said this monday was that they're going to continue the dialogue on the sidelines of the g. twenty summit which would set up to tackle global economic challenges the group of the world's most powerful emerging economies that is brazil russia india china

south africa had a separate meeting that they're pushing for a multilateral world for dating old institutions like the i.m.f. like the world bank which are heavily dominated by the u.s. and europe they want to play a bigger role in the decision making within those organizations at this summit they are announcing an additional contribution to the i.m.f. money that could be channeled to europe if the prices there spreads it's very much clear to everyone that those emerging markets are now the engine of the global economy. i a check out of reporting there a former member of the reagan administration says no matter what obama tells put me in person the u.s. president is just one link in a long chain of foreign policy makers i'm convinced that putin does not want conflicts with washington he wants to resolve the issue of the missile bases that are surrounding russia he doesn't want conflict and obama.

he doesn't want any conflict either but he is just one member of a government that more wants regime change in syria and obama is not exactly in a position to be able to stop that he will do what he can to get along with kryten but he still has to represent the agenda. world agent or me and regime change and so the situation i think is unresolved. well the g. twenty leaders have waste their concern over the eurozone crisis calling it the single biggest threat to the world economy many have said progress has seen way too has been way too slow in dealing with the situation well this comes after sunday's elections in greece failed to produce an outright winner again to form a new government program a la its new democracy party won almost thirty percent of the vote and is now

urgently seeking to form a coalition the new government will have a mammoth task ahead especially as the german chancellor angela merkel said there will be no changes in the assyrian cuts that are part of the group bailout but some experts believe even if a deal is reached between the parties it's unlikely they will find a solution for brits. about sixty percent of the population. voted for parties that are opposed to the bailout and i think with three hundred fifty billion dollars in debt there's no way in the world that. the bailout or the agreement between the right wing and the bank is going to work this is what the continuation of us there already means it doesn't result in payments to the banks are all it means is recycling new loans of to bad loans and i think the cumulative detonation is astronomical there's

a big debt payment coming in and the end of july that these cannot make it is the total devastation of the economy and its prospects in the future and germany all timidly will pay the breakup of the eurozone means that each country will go its own way. and later this hour we reported on another country still struggling with its economic woes despite having already been thrown a financial lifeline hopes and dreams are turning sour as a cash strapped island is left with hundreds of thousands of abana developments after struction boom was hit by the crisis. and egypt's ruling military says it will cede power to the new president but later we hear from an expert who claims the country's leader will be nothing more than a puppet on a string. before that two days of intense talks between six world powers and

iran are underway in moscow with a controversial atom still splitting the signs tehran wants the right to enrich uranium to a higher level work at least receive such materials from abroad by the e.u. and america are committed to ensuring in tough new economic sanctions against iran in the coming weeks and israel has even threatened to bomb the country and the u.s. congress is pressuring the president to take tougher action but job d. from the national iranian american council says diplomacy is the only way to reach a long term solution. a big part of what congress has done is to really assert that we are in control the same shin's. don't you dare lift the sanctions in exchange for iranian concessions and we must demand the most maximal goals possible that are not achievable and if that doesn't work out immediately exit the diplomatic trajectory and start ramping up sort of a plan for war the reality is for the past four years we've been saying ratcheting up those sanctions we've only now started to have that diplomatic process but while

we were doing the same sions a lot of people said look this is a trajectory to war this is exactly what we had with saddam not necessarily right before we went to war with iraq but in the ninety's when we were ratcheting up the sanctions and creating a policy of regime change the solution to the problem what are you ron's aspirations in terms of its nuclear program does. involve military action if you go down the line military leaders have said if we bomb iran we're not going to be able to take out their program we can only the way it for as long as three years in that time iran would reconstitute its program and likely make the decision which they haven't yet made to actually actively pursue a nuclear weapon as it stands you know leon panetta was on sixty minutes a couple weeks ago and he made clear iran is nowhere near an imminent nuclear weapon. while the arab league has called for a peacekeeping force to be deployed in syria saying the u.n. plan cannot hold the ongoing violence fierce clashes between government troops and

the opposition continue in the city of homs and the town of duma activists say at least seventy nine civilians soldiers and rebels have been killed in the country since the u.n. observers suspended their mission three days ago russia has reportedly been preparing to send ships in the marines to its naval base in syria to protect people and remove equipment in case the conflict ask await the red cross believes up to a million and a half people are now in a desperate. are desperate for humanitarian help artie's marie fanaa who's in damascus reports of how media is turning into yet another tool of war sometimes just as dangerous as a rifle. evening meal with evening news mesa hears that the syrian army is shell in residential areas and homes for a while watches another channel and he learns that the rebels are using civilians as a human shield while the army attacks this stronghold when did they resolve are the two neighbors from damascus who believed with completely different versions of

what's going on in the country and who is responsible the media has an enormous influence on people's perceptions french investigative journalist i may so believe it can be and is being used as a weapon in the syrian conflict he accuses western countries of preparing a media terror attack on the syrian government involved in sophisticated staged events all designed to force regime change only syria but the majority of syrians are not against assad but if they see the pictures of the regime down and the president fleeing the rebels taking over the presidential palace it will demoralize people and even assad supporters will stop resisting and give up this is how t.v. works people believe it even before they think whether it could be true or not. in any other arab spring country libya yeah even leaves that qatar based channel al jazeera broadcast pictures from tripoli central green square showing rebels

celebrate in the regime's full days before they actually enter the city and move he claims help the rebels to advance after we can get off his followers in syria the journalist warns things may go much further diffuse a form they will not only use their own channels to send this message they will replace syrian satellite channels with their own with the same logos and same design they'll have to get enough materials to broadcast a long story day after day defuse it has emerged the head of the broadcasting company that provides r.t. with live pictures from damascus says such a swap is technically possible. he doubts people would fall for it how do. they know syrian present isn't reporters and if they say it's different they'll understand immediately something is wrong so no way they'll believe or you know well such concerns may be dismissed as paranoia officials in damascus are taking any threat to syria's information service seriously two weeks ago the arab league

demanded that the arab side and egyptian outside satellite companies seize the broadcast of state and private syrian t.v. channels this mirrors the arab league's ban on arab owned broadcasters from carrying libyan state t.v. during the uprising there. we think this is a violation of international law and threatens the country's security which change satellites and inform people about the new location of the national channels. perfect laws and other investigative journalists from damascus has spent the last ten months exposing what he thinks is proof of foreign media medlin in syrian events and the international media discredited themselves already in the in too many cases drawing their interest biased no one believes them people used to but no longer trust. or if it prefers to the most recent case when the b.b.c.

used pictures showing dead bodies in iraq to illustrate serious controversial houla massacre those responsible later apologized and removed the misleading images misinformation and propaganda are common themes in any conflict syria is already the subject of mixed media coverage with the use of wrong pictures and footage that cannot be independently verified but while information many palatial is very hard to expose its impact such as international condemnation and calls for military foreign intervention is impossible to ignore. rafe notion of damascus syria back in mind that we have more news and videos available for your. on our website which is r.t. dot com let's take a look at what's waiting for his there at the moment. reports uncover a full pushing a style disaster averted in the nick of time at a nuclear plant in california the details online also read the story of two people arrested in moscow for using their own ambulance to beat the citizens traffic jams

. agents ruling military government has pledged to hand power to the country's new president by the end of the month it comes after the supreme council of the armed forces issued an interim constitution declaring themselves the country's lawmakers and determining who will ride its new constitution the amendments will strip the country's leader of almost all significant powers official election results aren't expected until thursday but the muslim brotherhood has claimed an early victory in supporters of these long as party gather in talk or your square to celebrate the announcement made by party leader mohamed morsi the claims are being rejected by rival contender ahmed shafik who accuses the muslim brotherhood of trying to usurp the presidency at least analyst and public speaker on international affairs ahmed

fatah he says the winning candidate will be nothing more than a puppet for the military. because of political dealings during the first round we ended up with two unqualified candidates the fact is that close to seventy percent of the egyptian electorate did not take part in these elections in the in the runoff is a huge indication where the majority of the egyptian people stand and how do the perceive both candidates the military council has clearly done what many observers have described as a soft coup based on the ruling from the supreme constitutional court to dismantle the parliament and based on the amendments to the constitutional declaration that came during the second round of elections the defacto ruler in egypt

is the supreme council and it shall be for years to come it have made the coming president regardless whether it's the muslim brotherhood candidate or the establishment candidate will be nothing short of a hand puppet for the military and you're in the boom years island construction industry reach new heights but it seems they were building a house of cards and would come crashing down when the economy tumbled it's left whole goes neighborhoods in a number of the country cities with few sure when anyone can breeze lines into them or smith reports. there's a new word in ireland no armored it's when properties repossessed by the national asset management agency as it owners go bankrupt during the celtic tiger boom banks handed out cash to property developers like monopoly money now ireland's littered with ghost estates homes and shopping centers that nobody wants this is

a classic example of the death of the celtic tiger in this small town north of dublin the plan was to move the entire town center to this location shops and apartments were starting to be constructed and then four years ago the crash and the site has been like this unfinished on lived in ever since jimmy gilmore has seen the boom and bust first hand a pub owner in later town outside dublin his sleepy hamlet exploded from three thousand residents ten years ago to eighteen thousand now but the housing stock grew even more creating a situation jimmy says epitomizes what's gone wrong in ireland. that sort of sums up where we are in this country at the moment we're all suspended waiting for something to happen we don't know can we move forward or when we're going to move forward i think. these empty units. those states are finished the states

just believe it's a picture of where we are psychologically people around here tell stories of being offered millions of euros by banks for development projects building houses and shopping centers but which there was no market problem was that banks here and financial institutions believe they were doing the right thing so they were basically shoveling money at people who cared and saw that people were chasing it and building housing but nobody needed between nine hundred ninety one and two thousand and ten ireland nearly a. new houses and surprisingly a recent report says more than three hundred thousand of them now live vacant and that's just the ones that are finished another highway another housing development this is whitefield mother and inside that there are around thirty houses about a third of which remain on occupied to this day on the other side of the road the developer had planning permission for a further three hundred houses in the end he built the gate post and then nothing

more this developer didn't go bankrupt and a representative told us they still plan to finish the estate at some point but locals can't imagine that happening i cannot see any construction taking place in this country which took me ten years we have an oversupply of everything between houses and retail units. but i honestly do believe that we have hit the bottom if we can get over this you being places that start spaces where i think you can start to move. in people who show that over the years. it's survival of the fittest meanwhile someone has to pay for all those bad loans incurred mostly by french and german banks and the buck has stopped with the irish taxpayer on the hook the ninety billion euros in bailouts you are smith r t.

well now as you look at some other stories from around the world as suicide blast has killed at least fifteen people at a shia funeral in iraq forty others were wounded in the attack which happened in a town north of baghdad a bomber detonated his explosive belt in a tent where mourners gathered to pay respects to a tribal chief a wave of bombings targeting shia muslims has swept through the country since the beginning of june killing more than one hundred thirty people. saudi arabia has appointed a new crown prince following the death of princess last saturday prince samana has become the next in line to eighty. eight year old king abdullah's throne is the country's current defense minister and has been governor of the capital riyadh for decades along with his new title of crown prince who also become the country's deputy prime minister. a second israeli airstrike in a matter of hours has killed two palestinians in the gaza strip pushing the overall death toll to four the attacks which hit the town of beit hanoun have been confirmed by the israeli military strikes came just hours after gunmen killed an
