minister benjamin netanyahu as well as the palestinian president mahmoud abbas topping the agenda as to be expected are iran and syria egypt and the palestinian issue the russian president has good relations with many in the israeli leadership some of those relations are on a personal level and no doubt his visit here since a clear message that russia is a key player in the middle east region and at the same time that russia has a central role to play in helping to solve the region's various conflicts now it also seems an implicit message to the american president barack obama who has not visited israel which is the united states its closest ally in the region in more than three years the this that of president putin comes from the heels of the arab spring russia of course also has a vested interest in making sure that the trouble from the arab spring does not spill over to the caucuses into russia they were a number of issues that are on the agenda first on the topic of iran and moscow

will be trying to convince the israeli leadership not to attack to iran in this comes amid ongoing critique from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu russia recently hosted the latest international conference that dealt with the question of whether or not iran was building nuclear weapons and indeed that those talks had no breakthrough rushes of the opinion that they can be no attack on iran and certainly that any kind of sanctions do not work they played out of the usefulness on the topic of syria here russia will be trying to convince the israelis not to get involved in the ongoing violence just across its border and then on the palestinian issue here to moscow has a central role in trying to hope we start israeli palestinian talks that have been deadlocked for quite some time and when it comes to the whole issue of syria and iran and these countries are increasingly under pressure from the united states and from. it's allies such as the gulf states and when you look at this it could be

interesting whether or not by forging a closer relationship with tel aviv if indeed moscow whose relationship with the united states is also being faltering whether or not this put hope in russia american relations to. president putin and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu are set to talk to journalists in israel's coastal city of the time you're but we'll bring you that media conference live here in r.t.e. as soon as it starts. egypt's new president mohamed morsi wants to review a peace treaty with israel and build stronger ties with iran the elected leader outlined his position in an interview with iranian media on monday in which he said he wanted to create a strategic balance in the middle east and such a statement is certain to alarm israel and its close ally the us with the course the country is now heading under its lot misrule. explains. egypt's

revolution began with tens of thousands into here square and it became a success shortly after washington sided with the anti-government opposition by stepping down responding to the egyptian people's hunger for change america's indorsement of change has paved the way for the muslim brotherhood to become egypt's strongest political force the international organization is considered to be one of the world's largest islamised movements and mohamed morsi has reportedly called for a constitution that is based on the koran and sharia law in the case of egypt we're taking a piece of the board that was one of our pieces this is what the you tube was one of the strongest american assets in the middle east and for many years we've removed that piece and brought in some people who i do not think will be friendly to us. in this video film last month and egyptian cleric rally support for the brotherhood's presidential candidate. and. and we're yet to

hear that. that. said. the muslim brotherhood has many different factions many different elements they are a political organization but they also have ties to terrorism they're also directly intertwined with what's going on in syria according to the new york times cia officers secretly stationed in turkey are currently working with syria's muslim brotherhood to smuggle automatic rifles grenades and ammunition into the country it didn't work out enough to understand what it was all mean you know it would be. used by you know all sorts of. syrian opposition seen here waving al-qaeda flags has received public support from the

terrorist network and created what some call a defacto alliance between america and its number one enemy. critic saying america's campaign for regime change comes with the consequence of empowering more radical and extreme leaders in the arab world let's not forget that assad and his government is a secular government just as gadhafi is government was a secular government if you get rid of that and you create the power vacuum or another force that is as organized and as strong will take its place continued political instability in cairo has raised questions about the so-called success attributed to the arab spring governments in egypt and libya were toppled with a u.s. stamp of approval but with new regimes leaning towards extreme islam many believe america could eventually find itself in a circumstance it hardly ever wanted very important i.r.t. new york. more than thirty members of the syrian military reportedly including

a number of top brass have to factor into turkey turkish state t.v. says the personnel along with their families crossed into the country overnight well this comes as syria faces increasing pressure over the shooting of a turkish fighter jet last week and insists it was a hostile act as it says the plane was downed international airspace syria claims it was flying over its territory at an altitude of the leaders it was given reassurances there is no hostility in damascus towards turkey the nato leaders are to hammer out a response on tuesday europe and the u.s. have condemned the action of syria as brazen and disproportionate e.u. foreign ministers have also agreed to new sanctions on damascus but let's not discuss this with dr idema ahmed editor in chief of the independent website syria tribune thank you for being with us. part of the defections of syria's military personnel a worrying sign here for all said that he might be losing critical support. we

first need to know whether or not these defections actually happened because we have been hearing about he was defections for eighteen months remember it was like the third or fourth months of the crisis where the mainstream media started talking about the different he was defections in large numbers i remember voices of american reporting. somewhere between one thousand and twenty five thousand back in november i guess or even before none of this proved to be true so i cannot truly trust the sources that said this many and this higher ranks cross the borders and we can very fight back only. normally sure the factions have happened in the syrian army and the syrian army have proven to be unified. leading a really tough battle against terror in syria and i don't think. she will numbers like towns or even hundreds. but damascus has called on nato to calm tensions over

the plane incident that we were reporting on is damascus worried now of what the retaliation could be. i am sure that nato would love to. take the opportunity to put more pressure on syria but i don't think that the syrian government is concerned about this march. towards balance within the territorial. waters of this is. any reports saying anything against that is just simply i heard something on and it's really early for to. being down using the one system where it was. you know where it actually was this is silly and serious one has a maximum range of twenty kilometer as well dettori of what it's like if. we know for a fact that it was not and this time it was actually aircraft artillery. that shut

it down with a maximum range of five kilometers on lead so what was the circus i'm doing five kilometers away from. our land our territorial water i don't think the neato or turkey have any legal. situation for putting any more pressure on syria and i really don't think the syrian government is worried about and there was clear in. their mind this is a press conference yesterday some claim that turkey could have been testing syria's air defense in preparation for some kind of an intervention to think that could be the case. that it could be the case especially that it happened one day and only after. the fictional syrian pilots it could be there they were testing but from what we know for sure that it was and they are correct that somebody that should be. thinking that it's

something else that the jet was doing you know perhaps. recording or trying. to buy on the syrian army's movement in that area because of their you know how to area if testing they would be like. distinct the hundred system for example or whether or not it is the distinctive answer by trying to. be. this close to the syrian border there is i don't think it's worth testing as as much as it was. actually a. sense of order or some kind of. delegations one. doctor on the mohammad or from the independent syria tribe website live with us on the line from the u.a.e. be a broadband thanks for your analysis thank you very much. inside syria human rights activists say around one hundred people are killed each day in fighting between the

rebels and pro-us. but for since most of the victims are civilians the u.n. estimates more than ten thousand people have died since the conflict began early last year and as the rebels desperately try to bring down the ruling regime they seem to be using any means available to them no matter how small they are artist marina maria from notion has more because it was a place for these kids boys and girls is at the playground and someone dressed them in a military uniform hung them with real guns to teach them what to say and put in front of camera now and this little girl for maybe five years old and she's almost crying as people behind the camera pushed her and other kids to chant and slogans out of nineteen q it's hard for me sam and. this footage is just one in a series of clips posted online showing the ugly face of war unfolding in the country

recent u.n. report says both sides in the syrian conflict the rebels from the free syrian army and the government are using children in their fight. we can see children a month through us on demonstrators. four year old or young is praising his motherland and this isn't microphone the kids carrying not a kalashnikov. or yarns father couldn't imagine that his youngest son's participation in apache after crowley would put all his family in danger and lead to the murder of his other two children and if he threatened us many times once they wrote in the house as well that the time has come that maybe then this is a symbolic move then they put the picture of rwanda on facebook as promising five hundred thousand syrian pounds to those and bring into them which we couldn't imagine they'll come to our home and not let me in i mean mars and wanted to prepare for exams and went to sleep and believing in the what should not and does

are believed to have crossed into the area from neighboring afghanistan and clashed with a local patrol up to fifteen militants were involved in the attack and fled after an exchange of fire pakistan's border is known for active insurgency and strongholds of taliban and al qaeda operatives. in india a key suspect allegedly involved in the planning of the deadly mum by attacks of two thousand and eight has been arrested. is being described as the handler of the ten gunmen who carried out the assault in which one hundred sixty six people were killed the carnage was targeted at luxury hotels the main railway station and a jewish cultural center authorities say they learned of the suspects were interrogating the lone pakistani gunman who survived the attack. for us minesweepers have arrived in the persian gulf the vital shipping route for the global economy it comes after in a rainy day military chief said the islamic state might try to block the strait of

hormuz to defend its interests it's not the first time iran's threat to close the route if it's prevented from exporting its own oil by western sanctions or to tighten again on the first of july if you run one it's the right to enrich uranium a measure seen by the west as an attempt to build nuclear weapons. madrid has formally asked the eurozone for one hundred billion euros to shore up its crisis hit banks this make spain the fourth e.u. country to seek a bell out after greece ireland and portugal the government has already spent fifteen billion euro to rescue small regional savings banks which records lead lent to developers a collapse in the property market has plunged the country's financial sector into crisis with huge debts. let's now take a look at what's happening further in the financial world marina joins us from the business that's where the markets looking like today they sell especially after what you just reported on spain they're not doing particularly well confidence is

at an all time low it was sought with oil prices which are really dominating the headlines today we can see that now light sweet has dropped below eighty dollars a barrel you can see they're setting at seventy eight dollars and sixty nine cents the prime blend is that ninety dollars and fifteen cents and basically this of course doesn't have a great effect on the economy is dependent on energy like russia and in fact earlier we spoke to him on to pack a and he explained what is going on with good prices right now and why they are trading near eighteen month lows and also how can affect the us and calling of course. from the mom point of view europe does some of the very healthy as we all know i'm from a supply point of view the market is prove using enough to account for the ear amy and sanction effect so the market is really getting affected by two prongs of the two week on supply tomorrow those two situations would continue at that point down doors the eighty and maybe even the seven people level by most measurements

russia may be the largest producer in the world on its budget is set by roughly one hundred fifteen dollars per barrel we are nowhere near that so for russia i think is going to have to make some very painful decisions in this sphere months and those the say shows will have to do with rewriting budgets and seeing what kind of projects he really wants to get involved in. now former finance minister alexei kudrin believes that if things do get out of hand russia will have a difficult time recovering bought if he does point out that russia has some anti-crisis measures that a concern to. me that is if the crisis takes place it could last for up to two years. even after that we could expect further stagnation rather than recovery russia could be in a better position you could return to growth for whoever the government will have to prepare for a potential crisis and it has already reserved billions of dollars for the worst

case scenario it's got some answer international markets starting with the europe of course as we've reported because of spain they're not doing particularly well investor confidence is quite low we can see that the footsie seven point seven seven percent was the german dax a seven over one and a half percent banking stocks as well as pharmaceutical are among the worst performers and also investors are focusing on an e.u. so much of which will happen later this week where even leaders are expected to discuss a firmer fiscal integration as well as the creation of a banking union so we'll be of course following the developments there as they happen to russia it's a sea of red here as well in fact the russian markets are extending losses from for either when they were among the worst performers among emerging markets that is that we can see that both the r.t.s. and the my socks are shattered over one percent this hour and also of course lower crude prices are helping the russian economy let's take a look at some of the individual share moves on the my six most of them a blue chips are naturally we have russia second biggest lender going to be

shedding over two percent this hour then we have gas from shedding almost one and a half percent bucking the trend as russia is a flag carrier air flawed and that's on news that the government will retain its golden share through the company's privatized they should now look at currencies the euro is amusing against the dollar and five we know that the dollar is a strengthen in there and that's as hopes are fading about e.u. leaders finding a solution to find the measures and taking action to resolve the euro zone's that crisis that when it comes to the ruble it's going against both the major currencies that now stay the way the currencies with us for largest emerging economies also known as the brics or posting their biggest declines in forty years have us as investors. fleeing from risky assets on concerns over the years on prices and fears of a deeper global recession in fact in less than two months the russian ruble lost eleven percent while the brazilian brow plunged twelve percent and analysts say the bric

currencies could lose at least another fifteen percent by the end of the year. so that would be a grim outlook there but that's it from us here at the business us for now back to you all right marina thanks for that we'll see you back same place same time next hour we're going to take a short break here on archie and i'll be back with the headlines. there hasn't been anything yet on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact. before source material is what helps keep journalism honest we thought. we wanted to present. something else.

just give me can i speak we use fear then we didn't explain my son died in a gun don't agree you don't agree we don't want to look for other things my son isn't isn't in the arena i don't know what is crap we are going to try before you'll see him to. be. sure of your country. if the country isn't your age. the moon or hope to help you family. you find in some of the old says war and meet some steam.
