tom. tough talk at the gathering of the world's twenty powerhouses those two leaders pledged to prevent a civil war and let the syrians decide for themselves. president within them 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 fallout the country's conservatives rush to secure a strong bail out coalition that seeks to soften austerity at the same time. and russia denies any ships have set sail for syria as a media frenzy accuses moscow of carrying weapons to the war torn country by sea.

life from moscow this is r t with me wrong welcome to the program 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 for the first conference as heads of state also focused on the iranian deadlock and much much more as a. cat reports the meeting of the two leaders lasted around two hours and that's the launch or 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 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 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 be a like that 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 which would 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 meetings 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 going to do. contributions to the i.m.f.

money that could be channeled to europe and the prices there spread it's very much clear to everyone that converting markets are now being engine of the global economy has got an extra kind reporting right there one of the u.s. and russian leaders are eager to show they can avoid stumbling blocks but a former member of the reagan administration that of a poll craig roberts says that american policymakers may not allow obama quite as much license as he would like i'm convinced that putin does not wall conflicts with washington he wants to resolve the issue of the missile bases that are surrounding the russian 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 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 or me and regime change and so the situation i think is unresolved. and with international players united in their call to end the violence in syria a fierce media war continues to bomb the country. we report on how misinformation and manipulation find their way into the coverage of the crisis for shaping both domestic and global but. this is ati greece's financial woes have been dubbed the single biggest risk to the world economy by leaders in mexico they're hoping the talks to form a pro bailout coalition in athens will end quickly and successfully to avoid what they call a global spillover the conservative new democracy party which won some thirty

percent of the vote is attempting to team up with a socialist and a small left wing party the new democracies leader and some are saying is planning to renegotiate the tough austerity against the greek people however german chancellor angela merkel has already stressed the bailout not up for discussion political risk consultant john holzman says whatever greece ends up doing at the calm before the next storm will not be far away. it's been an alice in wonderland election on the one side you have surprised with 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 a 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 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 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. it's good to have you with us you're a nazi today and still to come on just a few minutes away from post-election on so the despite assurances from egypt's

ruling military that it will give up power some experts warn the new president will be nothing more than a puppet more opinion on that in just a little bit. russia's the defense ministry has refuted reports that its landing craft heading to syria media coverage said that a russian ship believed to be carrying helicopters for the conflict torn country has been stopped in its tracks off the coast of scotland. a russian ship bound for allegedly bound for syria was stopped at the coast of scotland by the request of the british government its 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 helicopters to syria to assad's regime in the conflict definitely this is not the first time that the western media has come up with such allegations

because we thought about 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 with their reports last week believing that these ships were already on their way to syria. maybe. in the west especially that russia would be aiding. in the conflict now russia has been denying all such accusations saying that it's not being taking any sides and that the fact that those two ships will be brought will be sailing to syria 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 of the western media again especially in the u.s. 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 certainly is at the moment so this is definitely an all out information war not something we're completely not used to we just have to wait and see 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. like you have to be reporting right there and while the media tries to wage an information war against russia syria is experiencing a media war of its own this report. and. evening

meal even news may say here is that the syrian army east shalyn residential areas in homes. one watches another channel and he learns that the rebels are using civilians as a human shield while the young man attacks this stronghold. when did the reason for the two neighbors from damascus with completely different versions of what's going on in the country and who is responsible the media has and a numerous influence on people's perceptions. french investigative journalist i may sound 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 libya g.i.e. believes that qatar based channel al jazeera broadcast pictures from tripoli central green square showing rebels celebrating 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. 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 that is decision is

a political decision that violates international law it's aimed at covering the truth about what is going on in syria creates the reality they need it threatens national security. perfect laws and other 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 they have been too many cases drawing their interest biased no one believes them people used to but no longer trust. or a few. true first of 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 explain its impact such as international condemnation and calls for military foreign intervention is impossible to ignore. race notion of damascus syria. now a second day of crucial talks between six world powers and iran is underway right here in moscow it's all over to iran's controversial nuclear program a bilateral meeting is also being held between the e.u. top foreign policy official and to iran's chief nuclear negotiator iran wants the right to enrich uranium or at least to receive the materials from abroad but the story now over to our news lucy tough enough. according to a spokesman for the e.u. foreign policy chief catherine ashton western diplomats are essentially sticking to a proposal that they put forward at last month's negotiations in baghdad that deal would have ever gone 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 were hoping and the west would a budge on the israelis have to threaten 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. on his reporting right there what i do mind we always have more stories on our website oh it's called the super quick look now if you want to standing by for more as the united states increases its use of military drones to carry out targeted killings i want u.n. investigator wants these aerial strikes to be better explained. by the report reveals japan. failed to disclose data on the spread of radiation from the fukushima nuclear plant last year the left some evacuees fleeing in exactly the same direction as the harmful emissions. we'll get to the r.t.

world update shortly for now though 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 the islamists who claim their candidate mohamed morsi won the presidential runoff say that the generals are not going to step aside as expected the military recently dissolved egypt's islam is dominated parliament and took control over legislation and there they insist that 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 the official election results should be announced on thursday and the campaign office of a rival former mubarak prime minister ahmed shafik has claimed shafique is the winner with fifty one percent of the votes the middle east analyst. says the new president at the end of the day will just be a puppet for the military. because of political dealings during the first round we

ended up with two i'm qualified 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 what many observateur 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. the elections the defacto ruler in egypt is the supreme council and it shall be for the years to come you 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. you're watching r t now pakistan has been left without a prime minister after the country's supreme court banned the use of what i give me from holding office two months ago he was found guilty of contempt of court for refusing to ask swiss authorities 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 golani is pakistani politician imran khan who's a guest on julian assange exclusive program here on our t.v. he talked to the whistleblower about america's war on terror and how the pakistani government has betrayed its own people in the summer been lost in the street by the nice and. the wall owners were treated when you see. about twenty years but you know suddenly comes my new liver and you do i believe that it isn't going to which is the most important to do photos of people fighting them there it

goes and you know and i do not trust us and actually. do something on our own solo to do it so she will. you know know there's going to use truly. force the benefits never had that would treat people as much as this illusion of the show and that currently. the only thing that donors did this number of people who have disappeared. all suspicion of donors there was people from boston it's all over and over to you moments. this is mission. oh lord some jurors. are going to. be a big moment. this is the bullshit beautiful history no this is going to. treat. the stern truly. first benefits

because all of the above goes. to the school of thought. and there you can watch the full program in just about ten minutes time here on see we'll get you a turkey in israel in the for now it starts with southern afghanistan has been rocked by a series of deadly attacks taliban fighters stormed the nato campaign kandahar province sparking a gun battle in which all insurgents involved were killed earlier on tuesday three local police officers died after a checkpoint was targeted in the same region in a separate incident a taliban roadside bombing killed eight civilians including women and children that was in the helmand province. in turkey eighteen have been killed in clashes between soldiers and kurdish militants a group of rebels is believed to have crossed into turkey from their bases in

northern iraq before attacking the outposts sixteen soldiers were injured in the fighting that followed the kurdish workers party is fighting for autonomy in the area since the mid 1980's tens of thousands have died in regional violence that. two palestinian teenagers have been found dead during a second day of israeli airstrikes on gaza witnesses say the seventeen year old boys had been trying to breach the fence bordering the jewish state when they were struck in response four rockets were fired into southern israel by the military wing of hamas which controls the strip the party's a deputy political says israel forces them into this violence. if. this starts to hurt to try to make over for you see again the schools are we going to defend ourselves if you cook your book and we still wish to smoke you or something to who being too good for you to propose something to the user who

is just because this is the enough to do with the earth but. this is a duty to resist your vision looking for earth to have the tools to resist the occupation i mean we can we can do this maybe this is a very looking for some. some reserves or some something for a stripper or any country's own was looking to make a war against the others. and you can watch all of the interview with the deputy political bureau chief of hamas in full in a just over an hour's time here on r.t. for now though let's cross over to our business that marina standing by good to see you again i understand that many of the markets are closing but wall street is just started is trading session any interesting developments well yes there are in fact this why this hour decided to include some of the highs and lows on the wall street

just to spice things up a little bit before i do that let's take a look at the latest figures from the u.s. markets they're all gone from strength to strength haws the figures you can see that the dow is gaining point eight three percent this hour and the last that is adding over one percent and investors are reacting to make stayed up first of all we had the number of new housing construction numbers that went down for the month of a may also we had the number of new job openings for the month of april with that also went down but this normally would have a negative effect on investors but right now we're seeing the opposite happen and the reason for that is they think that this will force the federal reserve to add more. hash stimulus and to be called to me so we'll see if that will happen but i said the highs and lows of bank of america that is adding almost a five percent and some of the low is there really low we're talking about popular bookstore barnes and noble shutting almost six percent and that's after reporting a bigger than expected loss and also we have department store j.c.

penney shutting almost ten percent and that's after the announcement that has recently hard to price them has decided to step down so that's the picture there all over to the european markets now and we can see that all impulsive senator is well and messrs that they are more optimistic as you can see by the numbers the footsie gaining almost two percent the german dax slightly behind but it definitely approaching and that's because they're reacting to spain we do know that it held its first that option i'll talk about in a second one the concern that's the remains is that the fact that spanish borrowing costs are going up higher and higher but as i said they held that auction today for the first time since securing hundred billion euro bank a bailout and then managed to raise over three billion euros which was way more than it expected that's why we're seeing the figures on the markets react to really well there and now everyone is waiting to hear what their total bank that figure will be because that will determine the size of the bailout they will need then

this is expected to be published this week. but over to the u.k. where inflation has on the expectedly fallen to two point eight percent last month it dropped to its lowest level in two and a half years and this was because of a decline in food and fuel prices and that list saying it's also due to the global demand and economic outlook on the other hand low inflation is paving the way for the central bank to restart wants the same to boost the economy. by itself or look at the currencies the euro is still gaining against the dollar as we can see their back to its highest level versus the dollar in the month that we have the ruble. close and make sure you let me in the last the half hour of the session we saw that the room for the side is gay then the gains against the dollar and remain the same against the euro news in there now let's take a look at the russian markets they were the only ones that were slightly pessimistic today still managed to close in positive territory ever so slightly it

was more of a lackluster performance invites are being more hesitant to make any major moves us take a look at oil prices always have a major fight on the russian economy all that say that they're going to have much of an impact on the investor movements with satellites with this trading at around eighty four dollars per barrel and the bride blend at around ninety six dollars a slight improvement but still the prices are low and basically this brings us up today to only half in this hour rory always a pleasure thanks marina see that. in just a moment the headlines and then i'll be stepping aside for the world's number one whistleblower julian assange is exclusive on the program just as.
