a civil war that's what russia has been saying all along as was pointed out by president clinton he sought common ground 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 the how much all the leaders said this monday was that they were going to continue the dialogue on the sidelines of the g. twenty summit which would set up to tackle global economic challenges the growth of

3:04 am
he doesn't want any conflict either but he is just one member of a government that wants regime change in syria and obama is not exactly in a position to be able to move the stuff that. he will do or he can to get alone with scruton but he still has to represent the agenda. world agent of me and regime change and so the situation i think is unresolved while the g twenty itself world leaders have voiced their concern over the eurozone crisis calling it the single biggest threat to the world economy many have said progress has been a way too slow in dealing with the situation now this comes after sunday's elections in greece failed to produce an outright winner again to form a new government. new democracy party won almost thirty percent of the votes and is

six world powers and iran are underway in moscow where the controversial atom still splitting the sites to iran once the right to enrich uranium to a higher level or at least to receive such materials from abroad but the e.u. and america are committed to ensuring in tough new economic sanctions against iran in the coming weeks israel has even threatened to bomb the contrie in the u.s. congress is pressuring the president take tougher action but job d. from the national iranian american council says the policy 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 saying on ratcheting up those sanctions we've only now started to
3:08 am
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 same shin's 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 militar. reaction 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 we don't panetta was on sixty minutes a couple weeks ago and he made clear iran is nowhere near an imminent nuclear weapon. 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

what's going on in the country and who is responsible the media has an enormous influence on people's perceptions. french investigative journalist yes i'm a son believes 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. 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 it even before they think whether it could be true or not. in any other arab spring country leave the shia even leaves that qatar based channel al jazeera broadcast pictures from tripoli central green square showing rebels
