totty dot com. in the. tough talk of the gathering of the world's twenty powerhouses two leaders pledged to prevent a civil war and let the syrians decide for themselves. president putin and president obama outlined common ground on syria and pledged to continue dialogue on washington's controversial european missile shield all the details just ahead. global fears over the greek for the country's conservatives rush to secure a strong. coalition but seek to stare at the at the same time. and iran insists it has the right to a peaceful international players piling on the pressure as moscow hosts the talks aimed at solving the stalemate.

it is good to have you with us here on our to today i'm sure a lot of scar syria should be able to choose its own future and prevent a civil war through a democratic process president vladimir putin and barack obama pledged their commitment to the country as they met on the sidelines of the g. twenty summit in mexico the first call for heads of state also focused on the ongoing iranian deadlock so much more as and he's gone a not 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 out with a joint statement on syria they both agreed that the 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 soft common ground in their approach. on syria it might sound surprising to many because the rat race 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 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 respecting 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 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 who could be punished for taking part 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 there pushing for a multilateral world for 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 with 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 a dose of merging markets are now being and. engine of the global economy is our guy nature can reporting right there one of the us and our russian leaders are eager to show they can avoid stumbling blocks but a former member of the reagan administration poll craig roberts says that our american policy makers may not allow obama quite as much license as he would like i'm convinced that putin does not war 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 and a 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 along with kryten but he still has to represent the agenda of. the world in general and regime change and so the situation i think is unresolved. with international players united in their cold to end the violence in syria a media war continues to come later on we report on how misinformation and manipulation find their way into the coverage of the crisis shaping both to mask the domestic and global. this is now greece's financial woes have been dubbed the single biggest risk to the world economy by the leaders in mexico they're hoping the talks will form a coalition in athens and that it will all work out successfully to avoid

a global spillover as they put it the conservative new democracy party which won some thirty percent of the vote is attempting to team up with the socialists under some left wing. the new democracies leader. planning to renegotiate the tough austerity against the greek people however german chancellor has already stressed the bailout not up for discussion or political risk consultant john holzman says whatever greece does at the end of the day the calm before the next storm will not last long. that's been an alice in wonderland election on the one side you have surprised at the far left parties 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 present to 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

a 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 we 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 me. 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 the leading demonstrations in the streets growing ever more popular and then they can say you see we were right nothing is changed. coming up shortly here on the post election. despite reassurances from egypt's ruling military that

it will give up power some experts warn the new president will be nothing more than a puppet a more opinion on that in just a little bit here on. a second day of crucial talks between six world powers and iran is underway in moscow over a controversial nuclear program iran wants the right to enrich uranium or at least receive the materials from abroad for what it claims would be for medical research the expectations are high as some countries say these talks are the last chance for a diplomatic solution the latest now to want to see capitol. 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 a rainy and oil that is set to take place in less than two weeks that of course was one of the negotiating points of the iranians who were hoping that 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 reporting right now at ten minutes past the hour here in moscow a russian ship believed to be carrying helicopters for syria has been stopped in its tracks off the coast of scotland surance was told at the behest of the british government a media reports also say that two russian landing craft are ready to head to the syrian port of tartus to protect its naval. citizens that if needed let's get the details now. joining us live on the program alex what more can you tell us about this story. we know for now that a russian ship bound for allegedly bound for syria named ali it was stopped at the coast of scotland by the request of the british government it's insurance was

canceled and despite that this has not been confirmed by the russian defense ministry nor by anyone else the western media have already came up with allegations and headlines that this ship was carrying how to cope this to syria to assad's regime in the conflict definitely this is not the first time that the western media has come out with such allegations because we just heard about the story of two russian ships of the black sea fleet which are ready to sail towards syria now c.n.n. and n.b.c. and many other stations came up with their reports last week believing that these ships were already on their way to syria and those created. in the west especially that russia would be aiding. in the conflict now russia has been firmly denying all such accusations saying that it's not being taking any sides and that the fact that those two ships will be probably sailing to syria should this should

or should this. occur it's only to protect the russian base in the town of the only one of the only russian bases remaining in that region which is has a very serious strategic importance for most go now certainly the western media disagree that every move every even every speculation regarding russia and syria is being turned into a mass hysteria and we are seeing reports concerning this latest news with the ship being completely. overgrown by the by the western media with the reports that this this ship is carrying helicopters though that hasn't been confirmed as i've said and actually the how if it was in the recent days or something the pentagon was backing away from comments by hillary clinton the russian was supplying syria attack helicopters what can you say about that why would the pentagon suddenly step back from all clinton was saying. well probably pentagon bases its information on the real intelligence hillary clinton made her assumptions then the pentagon denied

it then the western media again especially in the us made a huge story out of it that the russia is supplying assad's regime with weaponry but it's not the first time we were just heard another story that some media reported that military exercise involving iran syria china will be held somewhere in syria in the next couple of weeks these reports were also turned into a mass hysteria by the media saying that russia is playing a dangerous game in the syrian backyard but this also has already been denounced by the russian defense ministry which said that no such games are possible in a conflict zone which syria so much in the is at the moment so this is definitely an all out information war not something we are completely not used to we just have to wait and see what other stories and what other sensations will the western media produce as i've said russia has been denying any involvement in supplying assad's regime with weaponry and firmly stands on its position that it's not taking any

sides and that it's not doing anything wrong from the international point of view. thank you. and i while the media tries to wage an information war against russia syria is experiencing a media war. now reports. evening meal even news mesa hears that the syrian army east shalyn residential areas in homs. while watches another channel and he learns that the rebels are using civilians as a human shield while the yama tax their stronghold. when did the reserve or the two neighbors from damascus who believe it was completely different versions of what's going on in their country and who is responsible for the media has an enormous influence on people's perceptions. french investigative journalist i may so 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 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 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 off his followers in syria the journalist warns things may go much further to 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 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 aimed at covering the truth about what is going on in syria create the reality they need it threatens national security. fic launched 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 the international media discredited themselves already in the too many cases drawing their interest but no one believes them people used to but no longer trust. crew 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 media coverage with the use of wrong pictures and footage that cannot be independently verified but one of information many people ation is a 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. we always have more stories on our website at c.n.n. dot com let's have a quick look and see what's waiting for you there right now as the united states increases its use of military drones to carry out targeted killings you are an investigator wants these aerial strikes to be better explained. by the report reveals that japan failed to disclose data on the spread of radiation from the fukushima nuclear plant last year the left some evacuees fleeing in the same

direction as the harmful emissions. will get to the r.t. what of it shortly but for now egypt's muslim brotherhood is promising mass rallies in cairo's tahrir square later on tuesday to protest against the recent power grab by the ruling military council and the islamists who claim their candidate mohamed morsi won the presidential runoff say the generals are not going to step aside as expected. the military recently dissolved egypt's islamist dominated parliament and took control over legislation and there they insist they will hand over control to the new president by july first the decrees mean the new president will be stripped of almost all powers now official election results will be announced on thursday that the brotherhood's claims though that he won have been rejected by rival contend and former mubarak prime minister ahmed shafik a middle east analyst ahmed fathi says the winning candidate at the end of the day

would just be 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 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 the 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. right now turning twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow pakistan has been left without a prime minister after the country's supreme court banned the use of it as i get lani from holding office two months ago he was found guilty of contempt of court for refusing to ask swiss or thora he. to reopen a corruption case against the country's president the president has now been advised to take steps to elect a new prime minister a staunch opponent of good lining is a pakistani politician enron can he's a guest on julian assange to show here on our t.v. we talk to the whistleblower about america's war on terror and how the pakistani government betrayed its own people with some of been lost in the street by the nice and. deep wall oh i would treat you in the cia and i.s.i.

could both and still wish to smoke or something very very moving girls are you talking about something you have been to many years ago it is not just because this is there in the third believe birth but. this is what to do to resist the occupation looking for or to have the tools to resist take your vision i mean we can we can do this maybe this is a very looking for some. some reasons or some some think through a story or in the country's own was looking to make a war against others. and you can watch the interview with the deputy political be. five minutes time here on . the oh i forgot his cross over to the business desk enjoy

a marina full reaction on all the debt issues in europe we've been covering this all day haven't we certainly a wall street now a trading day where you write about the numbers always seeing green figures yes we are in fact the us dogs are going from strength to strength and in fact investors are reacting to local data that just came out and this is a weird situation that we're seeing today let's take a look at how the indices are doing right now you see that i am positive territory as i said rising and we have the dow which is out almost one percent that already passed the one percent point in the black and as i said investors there are reacting to two things first of all the number of new housing construction fell for the month of april and also the number of new job openings for the month of april also felt this is normally something that will have investors panicking but not this time around and that's because they expect that this is what is needed. to make sure that the federal reserve will take action and do something to stem the prices that we've seen around the world so we'll see what they will have to say

later in the day but for now let's move on to europe and basically investors there are also no concern with the fact that spanish borrowing costs are rising there were about greece and we're seeing that really take them through all the concerns that was in the euro zone the footsie is that over one and a half percent the german banks about behind there are just a little bit but slowly approaching that same level but as i said the main focus has now shifted from greece and spain and the some more details of the country now held its first that. secured a hundred billion euro bank bailout and it managed to raise over three billion euros and this is a war that they were aiming for and now everyone is waiting to see year walk their total bank that figure will be because that is what will determine the size of the bailout and this is expected to be published this week. also in the u.k. inflation has on expectedly fall into two point eight percent last month it dropped

to its lowest level in two and a half years and this is 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. easing to boost the economy. all right on the look at currencies we see that the euro is a gaining strength and against the u.s. dollar when it comes to the ruble it's continued to drop against both major currencies that's the spot all the efforts of the russian the central bank moving on to the russian markets are the only ones that are not feeling that as optimistic as the other investors around the world we can see that slowly. but more or less as you can see there and this is also the spike the fact that oil prices are back up but having said that there are still relatively low compared to the last couple of months as you can see light soup is trading close to around eighty four dollars

a barrel and the bread lines are on ninety six dollars a barrel and this is what i have for you of course we'll have the closing figures for europe next hour. in just a moment the headlines are close and personal discussion in an interview regarding the ongoing political deadlock do stay with us here and.

there hasn't been anything yet. it is to get the maximum political impact. before the source material is. helps keep journalism honest we thought. we wanted to present. something else. wealthy british scientists not some time to. market.
