mascot's maintains it was flying over syrian territory or turkey has denied claims the plane was on a spying mission saying it was on a training flight syria responded that its actions were defensive or not aggressive wreckage has already been located in the mediterranean sea with the search for two missing pilots on going. on the stop the war coalition says the incident was most likely an error yet turning to me international conflict. witnessing the drawing in of the major powers into the conflict in syria but we've seen here reprint and speech warning the russians about the addition of attack helicopters we've seen the british send a ship back supposedly carrying a child it got those from from around the coast of britain back to back to russia and now we see this incursion into syrian airspace by by the turkish air force it is of course theoretically possible that what the turks were doing was probing

syrian air space to see whether or not they would react in this way i think actually this is probably an error but when it arrives to relations become less tense when the diplomatic has been has been heightened to this degree such errors become part of the process of our wider process which is more than accidental which is deliberate and that's the danger in the situation. while inside syria rebels have reportedly captured a military base of ammunition in the northern province of aleppo the sixteen soldiers dead after the attack the conflict is estimated by the united nations to have killed more than ten thousand people since it began last year and london have been a thousand children as artists with national reports now from damascus. this was the place for these kids boys and girls is at the playground but someone dressed them in a minute she uniform hung them with real guns told them what to say and put in front of camera this little girl. maybe five years old and she's almost crying

interestingly at one point they discussed south america with recall even saying that the most dramatic and important developments of the past decade have happened in south america itself well i think that over the last decade the most significant changes we've seen have comments from south america i mean i visited venezuela bolivia brazil and the mood is just different and many people say it's the first time ever we feel really independent i think this is going to be a huge problem for the united states i mean the reporting china and now we were on but in south america for good for a bit more. the united states is not one of the big questions when he took this dramatic step seeking asylum in ecuador was why ecuador why has he chosen

a country that itself comes under a large amount of criticism for its human rights record put a lot of people have been quick to point out is that the united kingdom there's always. pitched itself as a strong defender of human rights and certainly in julian the soundest case it's supporters would say they haven't lived up to that they are still very much a sense that they let down. in this instant as we await the decision we see me ambassador and are all been traveling with the where she met with president of course giving the full briefing over julian assange just case before they make that all important decision. but i still to come this hour a matter of opinion we report on how some of the no works thing more than a few feathers in russia confuse protest. more arrests have been made in israel those hundreds of protesters gathered outside the prime minister's residence in jerusalem demanding social reform comes after demonstrations in tel

aviv on saturday when at least eighty five activists were taken into custody after clashes with police journalist and writer and you know he says the government is ignoring the people's demands. i think that the protests are needed but i think that what they learned from last year's protests is that the government doesn't really care what the people think the government isn't really going to respond or do anything to change the situation you know our electricity prices went out this winter. i mean shockingly high are shocked with my bill. so i think that i mean there's a need for a new strategy and i think what we might have seen last night was a manifestation of a new strategy i stumbled upon a meeting at the at the end of last year's protests but not even at the protests at the very very end when the city was going to come and dismantle you know the last times there on the show and i stumbled upon a meeting where someone who was sitting on the margin of the grew. at it and it was

kind of ignored by the people leading the meeting but he said we need violence you know violence will be the only way to change things i'm not sure that that's the correct answer i don't think things will change if they didn't change after last summer when you know hundreds of thousands went out if you could get maybe a million or two million marching that could change things but i don't think that's going to happen. what's more world news in brief for you this hour to use more protests have extradited a former libyan prime minister baghdad in a movie making him the first high ranking gadhafi era political figure to be returned to his home country to face trial the sixty seven year old is now in custody facing charges of crimes against and they've been people that's being seen a setting a precedent for other countries holding former members of the toppled gadhafi regime. in libya the strongest to me off the rank and file offices to the deal around. the dispute came to

a head on thursday when dozens of officers took over barracks close to the presidential palace planning documents which are among the pay rise police units have also been involved in rioting in other major cities for the support troops to patrol the streets and fears of. neighboring countries. raising pressure from paraguay copying of the country's president on friday. was ousted by the senate on friday for his handling of a farmer's protests in which seventy died paraguayan now faces political isolation several american actions were running their own battles. cutting off all exports to the country countries also been suspended from a regional economic organization and banned from the upcoming regional summit. now modern art is meant to fuel creativity stimulate inspiration provoke thought and discussion before winning admiration a number of exhibitions have ignited

a wave of furious protest instead of correspondents are pushed over explains why there's been such outrage. a small but intensely passionate protest in russia's southern city of cross and are. the crowd blocks the entrance to stop the opening of a modern art exhibition it's called icons and on display our works by contemporary artist made of plastic the last supper is depicted as a tense business meeting while a metal exhibit called trinity has also brought a hostile reaction it's a clash between old and new all of the items the display is an attempt to make sense of how traditional i can painting has transformed in the modern world that invokes natural resentment among people who think conservatively. the exhibit curator who was welcomed at the opening by be suspect in the face claims the problem is people's ignorance has exhibited we're not

a contemporary artists language is often obscure but what differentiates on unsophisticated terrace and of course from a peasant performer doesn't understand you but he wants to try and learn one while an ignoramus simply deny everything however it isn't so much the show itself as the personality of its curator that ignites protests across russia at most eggs a business he's involved in that matter gilman's name has been synonymous with scandal is it a chilly this is the man who tries to sell as graffiti in public toilets as art. gilman's previous exhibit that included kissing policeman a crucified jesus christ with a head replaced by the order of lenin and a photo of an orthodox and i can being smashed with an axe have caused widespread outrage in russia that i have a degree in art and what he calls art is nothing of the sort it's an abomination and evil game plan to bring

a cultural revolution to the central russian city of perm by carrying out a total make over shocked most locals more used to traditional forms of art little headless red men dotted around the city and other innovations didn't go down well nor did the annual price tag of ninety million roubles or around three million dollars of public money given their wants to spread what he sees as contemporary art into other promises but faces furious resistance sugar put up a stop we're not against a center for contemporary art in our region but we don't need to go in here for that he would have prostitute as a headmaster or boarding school for young girls be sure within two years they would all become whores no matter the amount of protests and controversy in the end all of matter of gilman's exhibit do open and attract derrius people. what's interesting though is that gilman is not alone in promoting contemporary art in russia but no other exhibit heather provoked such an emotive public response in all

the six years nina worked at the moscow museum of modern art there wasn't a single scandal within its walls despite many problems to the exhibits but the artists breaking boundaries can certainly provoke an biggest reactions it can be to the benefit of more than not but also to its detriment. however change is in the even the most conservative members of the church have learned by know what before is father alex he was the one who spent a lot of gillman at the opening of the show in cross and. you always look the wrong i came forward as a contemporary artist maybe amateurish but still an artist experts in the field so in my act of spitting fully falls under the definition of performance art. arty. right now cross over to the business desk is that what's happening. while the russian markets opened less than twenty minutes ago and despite all the hopes they

are trading in the red let's see the figures right now as you can see the my sex is losing more than four percent the r.t.s. is trading just below zero and that's of course following very hefty losses on friday with the r.t.s. losing around two percent becoming the worst performing emerging markets and now into the asian markets were traders also pretty active this hour and they are mixed the nikkei is shedding value as you can see there while in hong kong the hang seng is managing to stay above zero actually the nikkei was also trading in the positive territory earlier in the day but it's a swinging back of course it's mainly under pressure because of the oil stocks there and wall street saw our. rebound on friday it had a pretty good day mainly thanks to the banking stocks of after the european central bank eased collateral requirements for the banks to secure central bank

funding and now on to the currency market the euro at the moment is a losing value against the dollar the russian ruble which opened its trade at less than twenty minutes ago is now gaining two both major currencies the euro and the dollar and staying with the exchange rate the currencies over for a largest emerging economies are also known as the brics are posting their biggest declines in fourteen years and that's the best years of fleeing from risky assets and concerns over the obviously the eurozone crisis and fears of deeper global recession in less than two months the russian ruble lost eleven percent while the brazilian brazilian ryall plunged twelve percent analysts say the bric countries could lose at least another fifteen percent by the end of the year and

let's now check out the crude price of crude is actually of rebounding with the w t i now trading above eighty dollars a barrel but that's of course still far below the one hundred twenty dollar a level russia needs to balance its budget but nonetheless crude is growing some things think it's oversold others are concerned about the continued tensions in the middle east and the upcoming hurricane season will see what's going to happen going forward and of course crude prices are always higher crude prices are always good for russia but a lot of it depends on the pricing formula and that's exactly what the cabinet is considering at the moment it's considering changing that formula so that russia would be a less dependent on oil revenues. and so that i would be able to put more into it's a win fold fund and also support to the on non oil related sectors of the

economy jim o'neill from goldman sachs things that's a good idea underscoring russia's current growth rates. this year is going to grow between four and five percent which is much higher than any developed country and if it carries on growing it will contribute more to the world this decade than the whole of your put together i think it would be good for for sure if prices went down because russia news is only needs to not be so dependent on the drug of rising oil prices you know russia's got lots of challenges. you know so does everybody else. that was jim o'neill from goldman sachs speaking of the idea of changing the oil price formula and that's of the latest from the business desk this hour i'll be back with an update in about fifteen minutes i'll see about. a speech again soon thank you and stay with us for an interview with

a former egyptian presidential candidate. before that i'll be back with the headlines. there hasn't been anything good on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact.
