11:02 am
talks had been frankenfood full and the most significant point made was the point made by the russian president calling on both israelis and palestinians to resume peace negotiations the israeli prime minister responded with this quote that it was complicated but simple and that word president putin please paulson that message tomorrow tuesday when he meets with the russian when he meets with the palestinian president mahmoud abbas mahmoud abbas in the palestinian city of ramallah now police have also said that the two leaders had discussed syria and iran and he didn't go into more details in saying that the talks were fruitful and he thanked the israelis for the unveiling this morning monday of a morial to the raid all me that was unveiled in the israeli city of the time he also said that there's more than one million citizens of the former soviet union who currently reside in israel and he said it was important for russia that they
11:03 am
have peace and security now the israeli prime minister spoke about egypt he said that israel respects the democratic process that has been undergone in egypt and in that context was willing to deal with the new egyptian president mohamed morsi in the context of the nine hundred seventy nine israeli egyptian peace treaty certainly must go ahead as a huge role to play in dealing with the issues in this region it is regarded by all the players as a positive contributor what we do understand is that president putin will put pressure on the israeli leadership not to attack iran and certainly this is in the context obvious really leadership talking about striking to iran because of its and the nuclear program at the same time moscow is unlikely to ask the israelis to hold back from interfering with what is happening in syria the violence on folding where perhaps as we see this go. close relationship which is certainly the mood that was put forward by both netanyahu and putin his growing relationship between israel and
11:04 am
russia this too might help russia and the united states is relationship which has been waning in recent months. but while israel is came to maintain its relations with egypt the country's new president might have a different idea and interview with iranian media and morsi said he wants to review a peace treaty with israel and build stronger ties with iran to create a strategic balance in the middle east as such a statement is certain to alarm israel and its close ally the us with the course the country now taking under its pharmac will explain 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
11:05 am
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 it 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. can. and will. be. that. so. the muslim brotherhood has many different factions many different elements they are
11:06 am
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 you know. it was all me you know it would be. oh it's not going to work out in syria is like you know some of. the syrian opposition seen here waving al-qaeda flanks has received public support from the terrorist network and created what some call a de facto alliance between america and its number one enemy. critics 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
11:07 am
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 were an important i r t a new york. well joining us live now is. he's a professor national marched on university in washington d.c. thanks for being with us during his election speech morsi promised to uphold international agreements but he now says he wants to reconsider the peace deal with israel and bond with iran why the u. turn. well there are so many challenges facing the
11:08 am
egyptian elect elected president. the international issue the issue of international treaties which he said that he would be. honoring or respecting would definitely assure the u.s. and ensure him the support of the us and the financial support of the u.s. and particular. internally there is a great deal of trouble in the arab world and in egypt itself and this sectarian division between sunni and shia and iran and so on so on is has a very divisive. effect so when he says i would normalize relations with iran he is saying that i would probably play a positive role in because the unity of society is very very important and he
11:09 am
said he the unity of egypt is high on his list then he has to give assurances to so many minorities especially the christian minorities in egypt and he has a constitution that will be rewritten in a sense and in that constitution there would be a lot of contradictions that would have to be dealt with on the one hand he has to adhere to the islamic sharia or the basic of oddities that the muslim brothers. have as constitution in a sense is that i think that guardian talk about reconsidering the peace deal with israel to please. her. well this this remains to be seen what what he said and what he will do will be able to do in fact
11:10 am
we will have to wait a little bit and see whether he would change the existing relation between egypt and. what he said he said i would respect international. treaties. egypt commitment to those treaties to what extent is what this involves that the gas agreement also with israel where israel gets a. price that is very very favorable and not at all to the interests of the egyptians to what extent would he be able to maneuver in that area this remains to be seen would have to wait a little bit and see what he can do how worried do you think washington should be in light of that recent announcement. i think washington is very much on the side of a great road have to admit that and washington has a lot of clout the financial assistance that it provides yearly to egypt and then
11:11 am
the support that it has and the way that it can. really. exert a great deal of pressure on egypt here the new president would have to take all that into consideration at the same time he would have to rule in a country that is sufficiently united and have the government reflect in a sense the aspiration of the people who are not very happy with our insurance where there's a. write down came around a law professor of international law and georgetown university thank you very much for your analysis you're welcome. more than thirty members of the syrian military reportedly including a number of top brass have to factor to turkey turkish state t.v. says the personnel along with their families crossed into the country overnight but this comes as syria faces increasing pressure over the shooting of a turkish fighter jet last week banker insists it was
11:12 am
a hostile act as it says the plane was down in international airspace syria claims it was flying over its territory now to two to one hundred meters but is given reassurances there is no hostility in damascus towards turkey well nato leaders are to hammer out a response on tuesday and europe and the u.s. have condemned the action of syria as brazen and disproportionate u.s. foreign ministers have also agreed to new sanctions on to mask yes some antiwar activists say the incident was most likely an error could yet turn into an international conflict. witnessing the drawing in of the major powers into the conflict in syria we've seen here a clinton speech warning the russians about the provision of attack helicopters we've seen the british send the ship back supposedly carrying a tellico. from around the coast of britain back to back to russia and now we see
11:13 am
this incursion into syrian airspace by by the turkish air force it is of course theoretically possible that was 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 international relations become this tense when the diplomatic efforts there's been been heightened to this degree such errors become part of a process of our wider process which is more than x. that which is deliberate and that's the danger of the situation. winter it has formally asked the eurozone for one hundred billion euros to shore up its crisis head banks but the aid is expected to be signed over by july ninth the request came just hours before ratings dian moody's is expected to cut the scores on the country's banks let's now talk to mark up at the point with a financial adviser and wealth manager joining us live from london via broadband thanks for being with us us spain finally put in
11:14 am
a formal request for wait for its banks but throughout the whole process we haven't heard much details over how the funds are going to be distributed is this money going to be enough or is madrid heading towards asking for a bailout for the whole country. well they recently did a study about how much the banks would need and came up with a figure about sixty two billion whether. that was calculated on a realistic scenario in the works remains to be seen whether more money will be needed probable because the situation is deteriorating in spain so that the amount debts will continue to rise at least in the in the near term. so yes it's probably a starting point in the end point ratings giant moody's is also not feeling very confident over spain's financial sector despite the pending bailout is this really
11:15 am
the time to kick the banks while they're down. oh the banks are already done and i think the right to get agencies in many ways are thinking indicate to the markets already. be in place again the situation with the banks then think it's a he's kicking well suited to moody's he simply. reacting to to to market conditions do you think that the banks have become too reliant on our rescue and risk bringing about a new wave of crisis perhaps i mean they get into trouble and they get money and we keep saying it over and over again ok very much so very much so. not only are the banks reliant on bailouts but they're also reliant on the e.c.b. for funding i mean many waste into bank funding has dried up some time ago in europe and the e.c.b. has become the only source of liquidity for a lot of these
11:16 am
a lot of these banks greece is still hoping that it can renegotiate its crippling austerity with the new but the region's most powerful finance minister has strongly dismissed that are we going to see another political stalemate in greece if at least some of the tough cuts on the people aren't east. i think that. well one would assume that. greece needs to go back to its people with something. we saw me using. two measures and i think they'll probably do something but of course germany's position is that this. visit here if you. look at the times. does that leave the bank. and the likes and that is the fundamental problem but you can't keep going back and revisit. these agreements if if the greek politicians go back. to get cheap
11:17 am
something. that will strengthen the opposition parties. i think that. could get more difficult for the greek people right marco purported financial advisor and while adviser with his input there on what's happening in spain and across europe. now at core door most of the session of giving julian a diplomatic asylum the whistleblower remains and scar in the country's embassy in london he sought refuge there almost a week ago after the u.k. supreme court decided on his extradition to sweden where he's watching a requestion over sex assault accusations that are furthest following developments in the british capital killing a scientist just spent his six nights in the ecuadorian embassy here in london waiting for that all important decision his first silence in the country now he's

11:24 am
a very good day in terms of numbers from what i understand and not just here in russia yes that's correct they sent five the trading session here is tracking all overseas losses and the main problem here is of course the climb in oil prices so we'll start with those and take a look at what's happening there prices are now trading near eighteen month lows in five who flies have lost about a quarter and the last few months we can see that light sweet is now trading under eighty dollars per barrel and in fact earlier we spoke to him months of pie came from commodities information provide a platform and he explained what is happening with oil prices right now and the how they're affecting of russia's economy. from the mom point of view europe does some of the very healthy as we all know from from a supply point of view the market is producing enough to account for the iranian sanction effect so the market is really getting affected by the two prongs of the two week on supply tomorrow those two situations would continue at that point
11:25 am
down towards the eighty and maybe even the seven people dollar level by most measurements russia may be the largest producer in the world on its budget is set at 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 the masks few months on those the say shows will have to do with rewriting budgets and seeing what kind of projects he really wants to get involved in by let's take a look at some international markets started with a u.s. wage opened a couple of hours ago says russia the trading session and its x. then the losses in fact the strength in losses overseas the dow and the nasdaq are sort of over one percent and that's despite the five home sales data. shows that it's not a high that's for the month of may now moving on to europe investors there are focusing on what will happen during the even summit later this week where you
