one screen online this is with international news and opinion live from new center here in syria should be able to choose his 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 conference of heads of state also focused on the deadlock and much more as all reports. the meeting of the two leaders lasted around two hours and that's a lot or 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 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
12:02 pm
president bush when he sought 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 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
12:03 pm
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 footpads 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 russia india china and 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 to europe if the prices there spread it's very much
12:04 pm
clear to everyone that markets are now being an engine of the global economy. and the u.s. and russian leaders are eager to show they can avoid stumbling blocks but a former member of the reagan administration paul craig roberts says american policymakers may not allow a bomber as much license as he warns can dance that. does not war 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 a 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
12:05 pm
with scruton but he still has to represent the agenda. world agent or me and regime change and so the situation. is unresolved. with international players united in their cool to end the violence in syria a media war continues to bombard the country. like a report of how misinformation and manipulation find their way into coverage of the crisis shaping domestic and global opinion. that's still to come for you but greece's financial woes have been dubbed the single biggest risk to the world economy by the leaders in mexico they're hoping talks to form a pro bailout coalition in athens will end quickly and successfully to avoid a global spillover the 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 you democracies need to come to this amount of money to renegotiate the toughest people however german chancellor angela merkel has already
12:06 pm
stressed the bailout terms not up for discussion political risk consultant john hulsman says whatever greece does the calm before the next storm last. 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 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 they 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
12:07 pm
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. the difference along the way becomes very very difficult but really the drama begins now because once maurice doesn't get the terms he wants 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 has changed. very shortly here in our tea post-election uncertainty. by reassurances from egypt's routing minute tree that it will give up power some experts warn the new president will be nothing more than a puppet more opinion on that for you later here in altie. because russia's defense ministry has refuted reports that any of its nineteen croft heading to syria this
12:08 pm
is media coverage claim to ship allegedly carrying helicopters to the conflict torn country was stopped off the coast of scotland. has the details. a russian ship bound for allegedly bound for syria named ali had was stopped at the coast of scotland by the request of the british government its insurance was cancelled 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 zone definitely this is not the first time that the western media has come up with such allegations because they are without 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 and those many conservatives in the
12:09 pm
west especially that russia would be aiding regime 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 probably sailing to syria it's only to protect the russian base in the town of particles 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 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
12:10 pm
a conflict zone which syria so much in the is at the moment so this is definitely an all out information was 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 i think she has shifted their multimedia tries to wage an information war against russia syria is experiencing a media war of its own ati's more information or has this report. evening meal with evening news mesa hears that the syrian army is shell in residential areas and 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 an enormous influence on people's perceptions. french investigative journalist yes i'm a son believes it can be and is being used as a weapon in the syrian conflict he accuses western countries of preparing a media terror attack on the syrian government involved in sophisticated staged events all designed to force regime change. but the majority of syrians are not against assad but if they see the pictures of the regime down the president fleeing the rebels taking over the presidential palace it will demoralize people and even assad supporters will stop resisting and give up 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
12:12 pm
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 could office followers in syria the journalist warns things may go much further therefore as 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 creates the reality they need it threatens national security. perfect laws and other investigative journalists 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
