1:01 pm
on screen online this is r.t. when international news and opinion live from our new center here in moscow bursting economic growth is the main goal for the leaders in the group of twenty in mexico is the powerhouses fear the fallout from greece could lead to global contagion the world's fastest growing economies a pledge more money for the international monetary fund as a far wall against future crises is not thought out is going to count she is in mexico so gonna how are the world leaders in mexico they're hoping to solve the global financial problems. well bill everybody is talking about boosting growth and of course europe's debt stricken economy is the center of the problem of the summit the general message to europe is that they should deal with their problems as soon as possible because the crisis affects everybody else europe doesn't doesn't like being told what to do i was listening to the conference with
1:02 pm
the president of the european commission midst of the raso and he was very unequivocal when saying that the crisis was originated in the united states and he seemed very prickly at the fact that some are trying to lecture europe and i was even surprised at how passionate that statement came out everybody understands that at the core of the problem is countries you know living for beyond their means that you twenty got together for the first time when america's living beyond its means brought down the global economy so there is a lot bit of hypocrisy when countries with their own huge debt problem are preaching to others by now is very much clear to everyone that the brics and that is the world's biggest emerging markets are the engine of the global economy that is brazil russia india china and south africa and on the summit day and now it's an additional contribution to the i.m.f. . early agreed on four hundred thirty billion dollars that could be channeled to europe if the crisis spreads there but these emerging nations are also pushing
1:03 pm
for reforming the i.m.f. which is a which is very much dominated by the u.s. and europe they want to have a say in how that money is spent. president putin and president obama had a lot to address didn't they as they met for the first time in mexico behind closed doors as the country's leaders what have they actually achieved do you think. well bill we are expecting president putin's q. and a with journalists so far the leaders haven't said anything groundbreaking but we also have to take into account that much of the meetings was going on behind closed doors president putin and president obama spoke for more than an hour at this monday excuse me for more than two hours what we heard was a joint statement on syria where they outlined common grounds and something that surprised a lot of people used to harsh rhetoric between the u.s. and russia on syria the leaders said that you know eventually they share one goal
1:04 pm
and that is a peaceful syria where syrians get to decide their own future no breakthroughs on other fronts either a missile defense shield in europe russia still has no guarantees from the united states that it won't be aimed at russia at some point and there's also another very controversial case and that is the u.s. you know a law that is maybe the congress will pass a law against russia that will be tied to human rights they have already. barred eleven russian officials from entering the united states russia had to retaliate so that now they are trying to expand that list which could be you know russian officials are saying although although we haven't heard any comments from the leaders on that pending legislation in congress but we do know that russian officials are saying that the move could trigger you know a series of take footpad moves to russians could also come up with the list of
1:05 pm
american officials involved in human rights violations in secret prisons in iraq and afghanistan in guantanamo so that's a very controversial issue but something that hasn't been touched upon by the leaders in their statements will see what president putin has to say everybody knows that you know he's not someone who is. beat around the bush and then right after there will be president obama speaking we'll keep an eye on that we'll be hearing from you a little later no doubt thank you very much indeed got to come live in mexico let's now talk to young voters sees an economist in the electorate athens university well we've just been hearing that the world leaders in mexico want common efforts to create jobs and boost growth around the world including the eurozone which they describe as one of the worst risks to global finance not this one is totally contradict brussels policy of a sterile. it certainly does but two years now. summit
1:06 pm
on summit. when you have been leaders at the behest of the united states sort of bricks have declared their willingness and commitment to doing anything that is necessary in order to save the euro and promote growth and illegal home and what do they do this is on their hands and they promote policies which poison whatever is left of the social economy of greece italy spain and creating the circumstances that will ensure that this. simply spreads the core already this huge grounds. and so they're trying and it's going to be breached. and so this idea about growth as being the magical. it's a purpose and i mean surely you need money for growth and investment where that where is that going to come from if these countries are virtually bankrupt especially where you are in greece and i know there's no short of your money what
1:07 pm
you have to remember is a major economic crisis has too many distractions while it is a mountain of debt but there's another mountain which is sort of hiding behind it which is not very easy for us to discern it's a month and off savings of a surplus that has nowhere to go look global economy and we get up in the economy is characterized by booklet huge debts and also we have i been saving if i were to give you. under and we can use that what would you do with it where would you put it you would be very like and put it in insolvent or quit and sold in bags you are very reluctant to invest in fire simply because of the session only winds that are blowing so you wouldn't know what to do it that task of growth creation is to shift i've not savings in to put that with investments and you know you can do that it's not a question of not having the money it's a question of how do you use it and to overcome this wholesale denial in which
1:08 pm
europe it finds itself. especially germany. this is then we can each of the graces that keep treating this as a problem has to be dealt with by means of loans we don't need loans we need a lack of actual change at the zine change the eurozone which will cost us less money than what the point is it that we have of them so if the money is there will the new democracy party and its allies actually be able to put pressure and renegotiate any of the bailout terms i mean clearly this is being extremely harsh on the greek people at the moment further austerity will make life even even worse but the german chancellor is hearing none of it at the moment it. is not and through. a series of acts of terrorism the comments of terrorizing the whole relationship increase as it did with you know ireland in relation to their around a few weeks ago on the fiscal pact but the government got the voters voted for
1:09 pm
a party new democracy. and a government which is forming now. that has been has a simple monday and it's monday it is to go to germany and look at opinion and not open. tool or a neg on its commitments that the bushes in other words we have a gallant that is to do as it was told and that's a terrible thing well it's an awful thing for europe including germany because look if germany had a good plan even if it was painful and bitter and silly groups which simply refusing to global and germany must pull in and force this to do what is good for it when looking for itself ok when because i've got it all but it would have been sensible for the dot they're imposing on us. treatment which will in the end backfire and destroy their. industry i please level that i mean and cause
1:10 pm
them to lose much of the export markets so we have now it's all over again we have madness in action. yes thank you very much indeed for your thoughts there your perceptions on what's happening at the moment yanis varoufakis economist electorate at athens university where all the talk is at the moment thank you very much indeed . for. russia's defense ministry is refuted reports that any of its landing craft are heading to syria this is media coverage claim the ship allegedly carrying helicopters to the conflict torn country was stopped off the coast of scotland artie's alexia cesky 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 helicopters to syria to assad's regime in the conflict zone definitely this is not
1:11 pm
the first time that the western media has come up with such allegations because 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 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 mosco 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
1:12 pm
but it's as i said 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 just syria 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 was not something we're completely not used to. we'll 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. crowds are gathered in caro's town here square backed by the muslim brotherhood has been calling on its supporters to protest against the recent power
1:13 pm
grab by the ruling military council has limits to claim that candidate mohamed morsi won the presidential runoff say the generals are not going to step aside as expected let's get the latest now from our chief is in cairo one of the activists have been calling for a million people to come out of the streets is the rally living up to the expectations. well at this moment in time it's not living up to its expectational but having said that the crowds continue to arrive here in tahrir square just judging by the number of people behind me i would estimate about twenty to thirty thousand people but people continuously arrive and this is after a call went out as you say for a million people to turn out into his square the groups that are organizing tonight's demonstration are the same groups that took to the streets back in february last year but a noticeable chunk of supporters belong to the muslim brotherhood group and this is after the muslim brotherhood called on its people to come to the streets and protest against the military's latest bid to grab power and indeed this is what the
1:14 pm
anger on the streets is about on sunday night as the counting began after two days of this presidential poll the ruling generals announced that they had issued an interim constitution they say that they had full say over who would draft the final constitution and that they would also have veto rights over toward wording now this is angered people throughout the whole of egypt so this is why we're seeing people here in tahrir square we're also seeing crowds demonstrating in front of the parliament building and this is after the ruling last week by the constitutional court that it was dissolving the parliament it is worth noting however that the military is trying to meet the demands of protesters it has said that it will keep its word to hand over power to a civilian government at the end of this month and also say that the president will have full powers but certainly judging from the mood here in cairo tonight cheese
1:15 pm
steak it doesn't seem as if people believe this part of the official results of this in that you expect it on thursday but we've heard conflicting claims from both rival camps so what is the latest there from what you can understand. it really is a situation where you have both camps making the same claim we've heard from the man dr mohamed morsi who is. he was no brotherhood candidate that he has won with fifty two percent of the vote he puts himself with a million votes in front of his contained dr ahmed shafik now this figure is being supported largely by the egyptian state media it says that this is the figure that has come forward in terms of what election officials have been presenting to the electoral commission but it is interesting because it's exactly the same figure that the shafiq camp is putting forward they insist that because in the lead by exactly one million votes and some fifty two percent this is not unexpected it was largely thought that both camps would make the same claims and both camps also
1:16 pm
complaining that the opposite one is falsifying information certainly what we witnessing tonight in terms of these street protests is only going to build in the coming days most people here since then on thursday when those official results are made we'll see people on the streets in much greater numbers because you're going to have these two camps neither of which is going to accept this when paulo we've been bringing live pictures of the events there in tahrir square as you've been talking to me thank you very much indeed for that live update no doubt we'll hear more from you throughout the day live in cairo. iran and the group of six world powers are holding marathon the goshi oceans here in moscow the talks over to ron's nuclear program have been continuing now for nine hours iran wants the right to enrich uranium or at least receive the nuclear fuel from abroad artie's lucy covenant is joining me now with the latest lucy it looks like the parties are determined not to leave the talks empty handed so what's come out of these negotiations so far. well it's been
1:17 pm
a day of tense and tough negotiations as diplomats struggle struggle to scramble in fact two of her to a complete collapse in diplomacy and the potential of a new war in the middle east now we know that the western powers along with moscow have been talking for hours in fact the european western delegations have canceled all of their flights out in order to keep the talks going one informed diplomatic source according to news reports has said that the five permanent members of the u.n. security council plus germany have requested a new high level talks high level expert talks with the iranian delegation after the moscow talks and the loop now if this does take place that could be seen as some sign of progress or at least a determination by all sides not to let diplomacy collapse now the agendas on the table remain similar to what they were in the baghdad talks last month the west is essentially pushing for the arabians to stop enriching uranium beyond the twenty
1:18 pm
percent level that purity level is closer to weapons grade than the three point five percent enrichment necessary for a nuclear fuel in order to produce electricity and iran in exchange for that and some other concessions the iranians would get highly enriched rule laws for their medical research reactor help on nuclear safety cooperation as well as access to embargo to commercial airliner parts now in the baghdad round of talks the iranians had dismissed that offer saying it was on balance it looks like the arabians had backed away from that here in moscow they still want more movements from the west predominantly and of knowledge meant of tehran's right to enrich uranium under the nuclear nonproliferation treaty they're also hoping for an easing of sanctions particularly those that are crippling a wrongs of oil exports which are down to by nearly forty percent compared to this time last year and of course that economic pain unfortunately for iran is only set to get worse as the new us sanctions i mean banking sanctions as well as
1:19 pm
a you. european embargo against iranian oil is set to take place less than two weeks from now so a lot is on the table how it plays out remains to be seen but it does look like all parties are determined to make it work clearly a lot of demands there from tehran the big question as you. mentioned there is that if diplomacy doesn't work what happens next. well again all sides do seem to be scrambling to avert that but the potential results could be catastrophic we have to remember that neither israel nor the united states have ruled out a military attack against iranian oil facilities if talks don't come to some sort of agreement but at the same time we do have to remember that u.s. president barack obama is under a tough reelection campaign and while most most of the senators in his congress have demanded a serious consideration of the military option it doesn't look like these officials are going to agree to military pull out war considering how negatively this put
1:20 pm
impact world economic markets and we do have to remember that of course europe is that still struggling with its recession and so full out war is the least likely option according to experts coming over in central moscow thanks very much indeed for that live update. now don't forget that we have more stories on our web site in addition to what you see here on the screen all to you don't call not supposed to go let's have a look and see what's there for you right now as the united states increases its use of military drones to carry out targeted killings one you're an 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 june that some evacuees and the same direction as the emissions. all that on the website of the mine at the moment pakistan has been left without a prime minister the country's supreme court banned yousuf raza good money from

1:26 pm
a spade it all shifted over greece now spiders are going to higher the fact they're reaching their highest level since ninety eight ninety seven this is a major concern but we had some positive news coming out from spain today and that's the fact that the country held its first that's since bank of bailouts and basically what it had there raised over three billion euros which is way more than what they were aiming for a great new. there for investors but now everyone is waiting to hear. that figure will be because that is what will determine the size of the bailout there and this is expected to be published this week. also inflation in the u.k. has on the expected me fall into two point eight percent small dropped to its lowest level in two and a half years and this is because of the quiet in food and fuel prices analysts say it's also due to global demand and the greeny economic outlook on the other have
1:27 pm
