trying to see eye to eye leaders of russia and the u.s. meet at the g. twenty summit in mexico to mull over a divisive issues. present within a president obama outlined common ground on syria and pledged to continue dialogue on washington controversial european missile shield all the details just ahead. also at the summit of world leaders raising alarm over a lack of progress in dealing with the eurozone debt crisis which they say threatens to bring the global economy crushing down. plus a nuclear powered iran stands firm on its right to peaceful atom as western officials tried to pressure the country into submission during an international conference in moscow.

ten am in the russian capital watching r t with me marina joshie president vladimir putin that barack obama have pledged commitment to solving syria diplomatically and preventing civil war there that lock in the middle east was just one issue of the two has discussed on the sidelines of the g twenty summit in mexico and if she can is there for r.t. . the 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 agree 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 the elections 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 and south africa had a separate meeting that they're pushing for a multilateral world for off 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. reporting there from the g. twenty summit in mexico. a former member of the reagan administration says no matter what obama tells them person the u.s. president is just one link in a long chain of foreign policy makers i'm convinced that putin does not will conflict with washington he wants to resolve the issue of the missile bases that are surrounding all 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 may want to 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 scruton but he still has to represent the agenda. world a gentle me and regime change and so the situation i think is unresolved. well of the g. twenty itself world leaders how voice their concern over the eurozone crisis calling it the single biggest threat to the world economy many have said progress has been way too slow in dealing with the situation and this comes after sunday's elections and brings failed to produce now right where again to form a new government. the party want to almost thirty percent of the vote and is now urgently seeking to form a coalition a new government will have a mammoth task ahead especially as the german chancellor angela merkel said there will be no changes in yesterday cuts that are part of the greek bailout but some

experts believe even if a deal is reached between the parties it's unlikely they will find a solution for greece. 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 battle out 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 after bad loans and i think the cumulative that race is astronomical as a big debt payment coming in the end of july that greece cannot make it is

a total devastation of the economy and its prospects for 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 early report in another e.u. country still struggling with its economic woes despite having already been thrown a financial lifeline. hopes and dreams are turning sour this cash scrapped island is left with hundreds of thousands of abandoned developments after a construction 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. now two days of an intense talks between six world powers and iran are underway in moscow where the conversational adam still splitting the sides to iran once the rights to enrich uranium to a higher level or at least receive such materials from abroad by the e.u.

and america are committed to our suring in tough new economic sanctions against iran in the coming weeks and israel has even threatened to bomb the country in the u.s. congress is pressuring the president to take tougher action budget mob from the national reigning 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 sions. 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 some of the planning for war the reality is for the past four years we've been sanctioned either on 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 doesn't 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 is 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 and 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 un observers suspended their mission three days ago russia has reportedly

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. but the majority of syrians are not against assad but if they see the pictures of the regime down 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 and even before they think whether it could be true or not. in any other arab spring country leave g.i. even leaves that qatar based channel al jazeera broadcast pictures from tripoli central green square showing rebels celebrate in the regime's fall days before they actually enter the city and move he claims help the rebels to advance after wiccan conduct his followers in syria the journalist warns things may go much further

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 brand pictures and footage that cannot be independently verified but rather information many probation is very hard to expose its impact such as international condemnation and calls for military foreign intervention is impossible to ignore. me for notion of damascus syria ok my mind that we have more news and videos available for you on our website r.t. dot com so let's take a look at what's waiting for you there at the moment reports on top or a full shima style disaster averted in the nick of time at a nuclear plant in california together details online. also read the story of two people arrested in moscow for using their own ambulance to be the city's a tourist traffic jams.

of afghanistan. this is r.t. egyptian 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 write it its new constitution will strip the country's leader of almost all significant powers official action results aren't expected until thursday but the muslim brotherhood has claimed an early victory supporters of the islamist party gathered in tahrir 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 middle east analyst and public speaker on international affairs ahmed thought he says the winning candidates 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 and in the runoff is a huge indication where the majority of dejection people stand and how do the perceive both candidates demanded three times so 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 to defect to a ruler in egypt. it is the supreme court it should be for years to come you have

made the coming president three governments whether it's the muslim brotherhood can do that or. would be nothing short of a puppet of the military. look at some other stories from around the world a suicide blast has killed at least fifteen people at a shia funeral in iraq what others were wounded in the attack which happened in a town north of baghdad the 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. three officers have died in afghanistan after militants attacked a police checkpoint in the city of kandahar and sparked a gun battle between officers and insurgents which lasted for an hour six others were one that in the attack comes just one day after three gunmen wearing afghan police uniforms killed a nato service member in the same region. 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 the strikes came just hours after a gunman killed an israeli civilian and a construction worker on the israeli gyptian border tel aviv insist the attacks were not retail. during the boom years aisle and construction industry reached new heights but it seems they were building a house of cards that would come crashing down when the economy tumble it's left hold those neighborhoods in a number of the country's cities with few sure when anyone can breathe life into them artes laura 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 les 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 epitomises what's gone wrong in ireland. that's sort of sums up thing where we are in this country at the moment we're all suspended we're waiting for something to happen we don't know but 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 round here tell stories of being offered millions of euros by banks for development projects building houses and shopping centers for 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 couldn't solve it people were chasing it and building housing that nobody needed between one 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 the next thirty 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 we can start to move from we are easily and people will 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 to ninety billion euros in bailouts euro smith r.t.

dublin. the latest edition of join us on to the interview show is just hours away this time he says down to where emraan the current pakistani anti-corruption activist and politician to talk about the controversial war on terror pushed by the us well the show will still air right here on r t at eleven thirty g.m.t. but here's a preview. this. is the do. you. actually want to as well. if you lose them. this is there is no with this. i'm going to sloan is already closed that it was used by this. poster it's a pulitzer stated that it was a. whatever million issues not a solution. for the americans of. this. war what are we to know which is different. instances. as do the civil war and

were again i'm expecting a different result story there's no military solution only political solution but it's the bottom of the ticket solution we do know what addition to looking. good. will start a political. issue for. us. to the world of business now so spain is why we did the many of the trading for chad i reckon it is marina for sure and it's all to do with those borrowing costs we're now looking at euro area seven percent now that's the point where people start you know setting off their alarm bells because greece portugal ireland they all required a bailout once they reached those kind of levels so spain bell out is most

certainly something to look out for today we're going to be monitoring those boring costs to see if they escalate any further let's see how the russian markets are reacting to all of this right now because markets are now open and yesterday they seem to be brushing off all the concerns in arizona with gays but right now in the first twenty minutes or so we've got the r.t.s. there are some sat down around a third for the a my sex just as we've got off a negative territory today that's despite we had some good industrial figures come out guessed a three point seven percent agree for the russian economy we've got the ruble as well as providing. markets the nikkei on the honeys line they're still in negative territory just want to mention about the closing figure than a case is closed up in negative territory and as. you know tensions really do refer to greece now the greece election was really boosting optimism in the region we've got the g twenty global leaders as well looking to tackle this situation it was

really the blue chips the exporters on the japanese board that took a beating that's because they're very much exposed to the european region the likes of panasonic camera to shiva huge exports is that as far as the boss was concerned the spirit holding the clothing company accounts in europe for the majority of it. is sitting around one percent still so that's another loser on the boards today moving on with more markets that we may we've got the u.s. markets ok now they finished up mixed it was a third day of straight losses for the dow jones and a third for the nasdaq facebook was one of the getting around over for the cents today on the agenda for investors will be the federal reserve meeting is a two day meeting and there's a lot of speculation building up about q.e. three in other words if they're going to inject more cash into the system i also wanted to mention apple as well because that going to round five percent and it's

got a bit of competition because microsoft has a real revealed view and you tap it like overtalk tablet and it is kind of like to compete with the apple i pad so it could surface as well so that's one to watch and we'll move on if we may day and check out those currency rates we got the ruble that is a change of fortunes for the russian currency is now losing out to the basket of currencies just your is managing to get a pretty optimistic that it will be keeping well it's more like. seventy grays not a softer. results so that the pro will star city government had the biggest majority there want twenty six zero. and if we look at those oil prices now they are indeed dropping for a second day that's because of the bad loans rising in spain is fueling speculation that the european sovereign crisis will spread and that will spread to the rest of

the global economy growth and therefore old man as well now to put to the g twenty so let's talk about this and let's talk about a reference to the emerging markets also known as the brics and they've increased their contribution to the i.m.f. the decision was agreed at the group in full view saying ahead of the opening of the g twenty summit in mexico and other countries more provide the funds with an additional seventy five billion dollars with ten billion out of that coming from russia this will help we are about to significantly increase its lending power to protect the global economy from the european sovereign debt crisis right marinus of the european markets will be out next to have the figures all right well as i can see a lot is going on in the world of business thanks very much indeed for the subway katie our we're going forward to more news next hour well in just a few moments i'll bring you the headlines to stay with us.
