thank you for joining us here on r.t. today. life in moscow on syria should be able to choose its own future and prevent a civil war through a democratic process the presidents of a lot of barack obama have pledged their commitment to the country as they met on the sidelines of the g twenty summit in mexico for their first meeting as heads of state also focused on the ongoing iranian deadlock and much much more. now reports. 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 up with a joint statement on syria they both agree that syrian people should decide their

own fate then 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 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 involved in human rights violation of the so-called niscayah 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 which would 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 is brazil russia india china south africa had a separate meeting and 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 it is like an ex-con reporting right there what are the u.s. and russian leaders are eager to show they avoid stumbling blocks before my member of the reagan administration paul craig roberts says that american policy makers may not allow obama quite as much license as he once i'm convinced that. it does not wall 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 scruton but he still has to represent the agenda. world agent or me and regime change and so the situation. isn't resolved. and there were international players united in their call to end the violence in syria a fierce medio walking tin used to bombard the country a little here on r.g.p. we report on how misinformation and manipulation find their way into the coverage of the crisis in shaping both domestic and global. this is r.t. and greece's financial woes have been dubbed the single biggest risk to the world economy by their leaders in mexico hoping talks to form a pro bailout coalition in athens will end quickly and successfully to avoid

a global spillover the new conservative new democracy party which won some thirty percent of the vote is attempting to team up with the socialists and a small left wing party the new democracies leader. is planning to renegotiate the tough austerity against the greek people however german chancellor angela merkel has already stressed the bailout terms are not up for discussion political risk consultant john holzman says whatever greece does in the end of the calm before the next storm will not last long. it's been an alice in wonderland election on the one side you have surprised with the far left party saying we can ignore all the bailout terms and they'll still love us and give us money which is a fantasy it sounds like the mock turtle or the mad hatter and on the other side you have president designate probably some are saying once i win because the europeans like me i can renegotiate the bailout terms and there won't be any problems that also will be proven i think to be a fantasy and so although this buys us or respite the reality is that this mad

hatter's tea party doesn't change anything in the long run greece is going to have to live up to these terms they may get a little bit more time to do so but the terms themselves as the foreign minister of germany made very clear aren't going to change so i think the greek people are in for a tremendous disappointment the danger on one side and it's a game of chicken the greeks think if we go out it could lead to contagion with much bigger economies and ruin the entire euro zone so they're not going to be mean to us and the germans say the greeks need us more than we need them because without a constant infusion of money we simply can't meet salaries and greece goes back into the middle ages sadly i think both have a point but the point is managing this difference along the way becomes very very difficult but really the drama begins now because when some are as doesn't get the terms you want to remember this new government is going to have only about forty eight forty nine percent of greek support behind it what's going to happen then with surprise leading demonstrations in the streets growing ever more popular and then they can say you see we were right nothing has changed. money troubles are also being felt in ireland. we're waiting for something to happen

we don't know. what. people feel they were left in limbo when the real estate we visit the irish ghost towns left behind. egypt's ruling military that it will give up power some experts warn the new president will be nothing more. than more opinion. now a second day of crucial talks between six world powers and iran underway in moscow of a. controversial nuclear program iran wants the right to enrich uranium or at least receive the materials from abroad for what it calls a that it needs medical research the expectations are high and some countries say these talks are the last chance for a diplomatic solution the latest. 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 your radium up to twenty percent that figure is significant because it puts me 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 also one of the the developments that we've heard 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 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 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 abandoned 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 last 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. are now it's turning our attention to vote on syria other u.n. is due to decide on the future of the observer mission with the head of the monitor team expected to brief the security council united nations diplomats say the group may face a pullout if to observe was a continue to come under fire at the moment has suspended activities at the weekend due to escalated violence in the region. with the ceasefire ignored by both rebel

a media terror attack on the syrian government involved in sophisticated staged events all designed to force regime change only syria and. 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 leave yet 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 we can get off his followers in syria the journalist warns things may go much further differ from 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 while such concerns may be dismissed as paranoia officials in damascus are taking any threat to syria's information service seriously this decision is a political decision that violates international law it's ended covering the truth about what is going on in syria create the reality they need it threatens national security. we're fick lot 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 either the 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. her feet. first of the mace three suitcase 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 one of information many people ation is very hard to explain its impact such as international condemnation and calls for military foreign intervention is impossible to ignore. me from notion of the mask syria and i don't forget we've always got many more stories and videos on our website our team dot com let's have a look and see what's waiting for you there right now a nuclear nightmare on par with the fukushima disaster could have happened in california all those details online for you also. a baby robot has been created by scientists to better understand how children learn to talk by reproducing some very basic. it's

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

burst like a bubble when the country's construction boom went bust leaving developers bankrupt so artie's our last month went to visit the many ghost towns now left behind. 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 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 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 we're 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 for 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 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 island

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 inside that there are around thirty houses about a third of which remains 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. 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. but i honestly do believe we have at the bottom meanwhile someone has to pay for all those. incurred mostly by french and german banks and the buck

stopped with the irish taxpayer the ninety billion euros in bailouts. good to see you today i understand you've got your eyes on the number. you have. about ireland. europe in particular because the focus shifted from greece spain and that's because borrowing costs there are now region their highest level since one thousand nine hundred ninety seven and that's because investors are really concerned about what will happen to the country and whether it will have to resort to international aid to save it the bank system especially look at the latest figures and see what the numbers are saying in europe and as you can see there doesn't seem to have an effect on investors today was that the forty's out of exactly one percent when it comes to the german dax over a half a percent but i want to concentrate on spain a little bit more and more details about what's happening in the country. first the

debt securing one hundred billion euro bank bailout and managed to raise over three billion euros which is what they were aiming for and now everyone. as waiting to hear what their total bank debt figure will be and that's because that will determine the size of the bailout move that and this is expected to be published this week. also in the u.k. we have seen that inflation has unexpectedly fallen to two point eight percent last month it dropped to its lowest level in soon half years and this was because of a decline in food and fuel prices analysts say it's also due to weak global demand and a gloomy economic outlook on the other hand low inflation is paving the way for the central bank to restart wants to ease and to boost the economy. but as currency is now the euro is again against the dollar and when it comes to the ruble it's losing today against both major currencies which is in stark contrast to what we've been

seeing for the past a couple of sessions now moving on to the russian the markets and see how they're performing this afternoon we can see it's a mixed picture we have the r.t.s. that's losing just a notch when it comes to the my sex is still struggling to stay positive territory and that's when we because investors here are not only looking at the situation unfold in the euro zone but also oil prices which are very low right now if we can take a look at those will see even though the picture is makes the prices are indeed low they're actually hovering around fifteen month lows this is never a good sign for the russian economy and that's reflected in the markets and the figures we saw now in all the news the world's a fast there's a growing the merging economies and i am talking about the brics they have increased their contribution now to the international monetary fund and the decision was likely that the group's informal meeting ahead of the opening of the g twenty summit in mexico member countries will provide the fund with an audition over seventy five billion dollars billion out of that coming from russia. and there

you have it that's it for me or for this hour always a pleasure see you next hour thanks. in just a moment the headlines are up close and personal and if you are discussing the issue of the ongoing deadlock this is on.
