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 issue. 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 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 crashing down. and nuclear power to run stands firm on its right to a peaceful atom as western officials try to pressure the country into submission during ongoing talks here in moscow.

one pm in the russian gavel you're watching r t with me 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 one issue of the two halves discussed on the sidelines of the g twenty summit in mexico is there for r.t. . 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 be a likely is that 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're going to continue the dialogue another issue very controversial there are attempts in congress to pass a new restricting law against russia that would be tied to human rights travel ban and financial sanctions against those russian officials and the u.s.

congress deems as involving human rights violation and the so-called smoking this kill law the leaders did not comment on that pending legislation but russian officials say if passed by the congress it would trigger a series of moves because there is a potentially long list of american officials to sort of be punished for taking part in human rights violations in secret prisons in iraq and afghanistan and guantanamo 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 india china and south africa had a separate meeting they're pushing for a multilateral world updating 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 through europe and the prices there spread it's very

much clear to everyone that markets are now being an engine of the global economy. is going to chicago 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. does not will conflicts 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 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 me and regime change and so the situation. isn't resolved. well the g twenty cells 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 way too slow in dealing with the situation this comes after sunday's elections in greece failed to produce an outright winner again to form a new government a probe a loud 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 steady cuts that are part of the greek bailout but some experts believe even if a deal is reached between the parties the chances of a greek with coverage are almost nonexistent. i think it's a it's quite possible that you will find a correlation within the next few days but there are two things that are important

to note here the first one is that the parties in question new democracy and pasok they only have the majority in parliament due to the security a greek election rules in fact more than fifty percent of forwards went to e.u. critical parties so i think you might want to find a broader coalition if you want some true legitimacy to the decisions that will be made that such as you might have some difficult negotiations but more importantly none of the two blocs in the greek parliamentary election had a credible plan for turning the greek economy around from its current meltdown so regardless of who takes over the risk of a greek exit from the euro remains high either there will be a renegotiation off the treaty or reese will eventually have to leave the euro and the problem here is that if economic circumstances how allowed to deteriorate any further now everybody can see already today that austerity is killing freeze it's also killing spain portugal ireland and other european economies if you leave that

to fester for too long it won't be a deliberated political decision when greece leaves it will be forced by economic circumstances so i think germany will have to back off from this one all face the responsibility of some kind of euro break up before too many months have passed well later today later this hour rather we report on another e.u. country still struggling with its economic woes despite having already been thrown a financial lifeline hopes and dreams are already sour and cash strapped island is left with hundreds of thousands of abandoned developments now after construction 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. and second day of intense dogs between six world powers and iran is underway. moscow with a controversial atom still splitting the sides to iran wants the right to bridge

uranium to a higher level or at least receive such materials from abroad well we can now get the latest from respond losing their so why are officials saying we'll see about how the talks are progressing. well officials have been rather tight lipped but the mood is tense as this really is the last chance some officials say to salvage a diplomatic solution to a deal on iran's nuclear ambitions and to avert a possible new war in the middle east now according to a spokesman for the e.u. foreign policy chief catherine ashton western diplomats are essentially sticking to a proposal that they put forth at last month's negotiations in baghdad that deal would have iran halting richmond's of radium up to twenty percent that figure is significant because it puts a rainy and uranium on the cusp of weapons grade material of course iran insists that his program is for civilian purposes and energy purposes only that deal would also require tehran to ship at least part of its twenty percent enriched stockpile out of the country and also halt operations at its controversial underground

enrichment facility called fordo also one of the the developments that we've heard from officials yesterday is that the european union will not stop or postpone the impending oil embargo on iranian oil that is set to take place in less than two weeks that of course was one of the negotiating points of the iranians were hoping and the west would a budge on iran meanwhile is sticking to its demand saying that no progress will be made unless the west acknowledges its right to a peaceful nuclear energy program for civilian purposes the iranians were also again hoping that the west with ease some sanctions in order to alleviate its struggling economy we also have to keep in mind that american banking sanctions are set to take place but in exchange for the plan that the west has put forth all they're offering to iran is essentially some research mature. for a medical reactor and spare parts for iran's commercial airliner fleet according to

one former renia negotiator that is diamonds for peanuts in other words not a balanced deal and not enough incentive for iran to make such that significant concessions. well is he what prospects as iran a face if the talks fail to break the stalemate. well it's a really critical situation because again we have to remember that the israelis have threatened to effectively bomb iran if there is no diplomatic solution to this problem we saw the israeli president yesterday in an interview say that time is running out for iran warning again that a war would be possible if talks do not play out to to its satisfaction the other consideration here of course is that president barack obama is under a very serious pressure by nearly half of the senate to essentially abandon diplomacy if talks don't end up in a breakthrough and to consider the military option but again we do have to remember that we are in a time of a severe economic crisis and the war option is probably the ras last result it's

not going to help president obama's reelection campaign and it certainly isn't going to help a europe that is struggling to recover economically so it remains to be seen what will come out but we will keep you posted on all of the updates absolutely allusive thanks very much indeed was a couple of there reporting. thank you. now the syrian government says it's ready to act on a u.n. call to evacuate civilians trapped in the central city of homes but blame gravels for obstructing their efforts meanwhile the arab league has called for a peacekeeping force to be deployed in syria saying the current peace plan can hold the ongoing violence fierce clashes between government troops and the opposition continue across the country activists say at least seventy nine civilians soldiers and rebels have been killed since the u.n. observers fan of their mission three days ago russia has reportedly been preparing to send ships and marines to its naval base in syria to protect people and remove equipment in case the conflict escalates the red cross believes up to

a million and a half people are now in desperate need of humanitarian help i just was in damascus reports on how media is turning into yet another tool of war sometimes just as dangerous as a rifle. evening meal even news mesa hears that the syrian army is shown in residential areas in homes. one of which is another channel and he learns that the rebels are using civilians as a human shield while the young men attacks this stronghold when do the resolver the two neighbors from damascus who've been left with completely different versions of what's going on in the country and who's responsible for the media has an enormous influence on people's perceptions. french investigative journalist mesa 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 involving 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 and 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 fall days before they actually entered the city and move he claims help the rebels to advance after we can get office followers in syria the journalist warns things may go much further before therefore 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 had of the broadcasting

company that provides r.t. with live pictures from damascus says such a swap is technically possible but he doubts people would fall for it how to. 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 are. perfect laws and now the investigative journalist from damascus has spent the last ten months exposing what he thinks is proof of foreign media medlin in syrian events and other international needed is greater than themselves already in the in too many cases drawing their interest biased no one believes them people used to but no longer trust with the. first 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 mean to coverage with the use of wrong pictures and footage that cannot be independently verified but one of information many probation is very hard to explain its impact such as international condemnation and calls for military foreign intervention is impossible to ignore. me for an ocean of. damascus syria now keep in 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 the cover of fukushima style disaster averted in the nick of time at a nuclear plant in california to get details online also. the three. meter baby robot created by scientists to further explore how exactly children learn to speak.

how members of egypt's muslim brotherhood are expected to demonstrate against an interim constitution put in place by the country's ruling military council the constitution dissolved egypt as long as dominated parliament by giving full legislative power to the ruling generals in a sense promised to hand control to the new president by the end of the month by the man months will strip the winner almost all powers official election results are expected until thursday but the muslim brotherhood has claimed an early victory supporters of these mommas party gather. in top three or 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 our

party says the winning candidate will be nothing more akin to puppet or 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 you 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. now let's take a look at some of the stories from around the world a 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 the bomber detonated his explosive belt in a tent were 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 it 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 police uniforms kill the 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 gunmen killed an israeli civilian and a construction worker on the israeli egyptian border tel aviv insists the attacks were not in retaliation. during the boom years island's construction industry reached new heights but it seems they were building a house of cards come crashing down when the economy tumbled it's left whole ghost neighborhoods in a number of the country cities was a few sure when anyone can breathe life into them arches 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 islands littered

with 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 found 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 where we are in this country at the moment we're all suspended waiting for something to happen we don't know but can we move forward or when we're going to

move forward people around 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 the 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 million 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. this is whitefield mother and inside that there are around thirty houses about a third of which remains 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 development 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 ten years we have an oversupply of everything between houses and retail units and but i honestly do believe that we have at the bottom 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 you are smith altie. wiley's addition of julian assange his interview show is just hours away and this time he says down with imran khan a pakistani anti-corruption activist and politician to talk about the converse a war on terror pushed by the us air right here on our team at eleven thirty g.m.t. but here's a preview. warder there's this sort of confusion is that you will

walk on bombs and. you know. actually war on terror is one when you win hearts and minds of people if you lose that war this is that that is the word this is the way i mean by this time as more revelations to do that it was eight years but by the start of this story it's a polarized society than it was a few years whatever two million issues not a solution we are very sorry to use the american civilian for eleven years of war what are we going to do not what is different and the instance it. is doing this isn't over and over again and expecting a different result of it started to happen there's no military solution only where is a political solution by some of the bottom of that into consideration we do not have politicians look you will all get a bit of both so you actually is

a good job of government hopefully ours will start a political dialogue and the emergency that begs it started from the start. those. why now turning to the world of business were katie's gauging the mood of world investors so what's it like this hour that marina well it's quite busy actually because right now there's loss to digest because it's a busy afternoon of a calendar today we've already got the two day meeting at the federal reserve are going to be deciding whether or not to pump more cash into the system and that's what investors are really looking towards at the moment we've also got of course the group of twenty leaders today saying the european sovereign debt crisis and how to deal with it how to stem the situation as well as that look at the greek policymakers as well continuing with the talks for a second day trying to put this coalition together the new democracy party. the

pasta party is set to join they have said to the markets they said to the global markets it will be formed by the end of the day so without it why we can see that the european markets are indeed gaining on us despite those worrying spanish boring calls really talking about seven percent level also going to the bull market today because twelve months on the eighteen month bonds going on that was that the germans had indexes coming out of in the next kind of ten minutes or so but it is expected to show a downward sentiments of downward confidence in vestas as you can see just the first though is a tenth of a percent although that's around third of a percent in negative territory look at the common currency to see how the trade is a really dealing with the trade is very repaired one twenty six zero nine just this demonstrates you happiness that it will keep its seventy members that way greece at the moment if we can see the ruble you can see is us you losing traction against

the u.s. dollar on the year this. investor's a move away from a risk and with that in mind the see the russian markets and see how the my space and the artist is performing this on it's very much a mixed session here moscow we got around a third of them down for the r.t.s. on the my sites around four tenths of a percent in positive territory as it's pretty close today really all around it's been pretty much the same since the get go if you look at the blue chips i would see that spread like the biggest ones ahead remains in red. struggled. as we can see just to basis points really our rough hard drive that three point seven percent down by softer pools of russia's state energy holding growth and next to gas that will acquire a broken stake in the company of those a motel of his that after vast is gaining two point seven percent stove it opens up opposed to territory and that's where it remains other with talk of this new car coming out the previous serial production of the. mr america all right is have
