eight pm in moscow i met très a good to have you with us here on r t our top story russian president vladimir putin has called on both sides in the israeli palestinian conflict to resume talks to break the stalemate russia's also stepping up efforts to help resolve the conflict in syria and ease tension over iran's nuclear program as putin begins his visit to the middle east he's currently on the first leg of his tour in israel where artie's polis leader is following the talks. russian president vladimir putin and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu have been holding a meeting at the prime minister's residence in jerusalem both leaders said that the 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 peace 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 rule 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 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 it has

a huge role to play in dealing with these 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 of these really leadership talking about striking to iran because of its 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 unfolding there perhaps as we see this growing. close relationship which is to me the mood that was put forward by both netanyahu and putin his growing relationship between israel and russia this too might help russia and the united states is a mason step which has been waning in recent months. while israel's keen to maintain relations with egypt the country's new president may have a different idea in an interview with iranian media mohamed 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 such a statement certain to alarm israel and the u.s. its close ally with of course the country is now heading under islam must rule or he's worried important 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 president mubarak responded 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 one of the 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. and. and we. is that. really. 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 you know. you know it would be. only.

his bike you know sort of. the syrian opposition seen here waving al-qaeda flanks has received public support from the terrorist network and created what some call a defacto 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 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. well stay with us here on r.t. still to come a risky business very formally ass's european neighbors for one hundred billion euros to save its beleaguered banks this as another ratings downgrade is pending. but first more than thirty members of the syrian military including a number of top brass have reportedly defected to turkey turkish state t.v. says the personnel plus their families crossed into the country overnight this syria faces a growing pressure over the shooting of a turkish fighter jet last week korea insists it was a hostile act as it says the plane was down in international airspace syria claims it was flying over its territory an altitude of one hundred meters but has given reassurances there is no hostility in damascus toward turkey nato leaders will hammer out a response tuesday europe and the u.s. have condemned the action of syria as brazen and disproportionate e.u.

foreign ministers also agreed on new sanctions on the mountains so anti-war activists say the incident was most likely an error that could yet spark an international conflict. we're witnessing the druyan of the major powers into the conflict in syria but we've seen here reprint in speech warning the russians about the provision of attack helicopters we've seen british send a ship back supposedly carrying a child it was from around the coast of britain back to back to russia and now we see this incursion into syrian airspace but boy the share was a tease of course theoretically possible that while the talks were doing was probing the syrian airspace to see whether or not they would react in this way i think actually this is probably an error but when it international relations become less tense when the diplomatic mostly has been has been heightened to this degree

such errors become part of the process of the wider process which is more than accidental which is deliberate and that's the danger of the situation. inside syria human rights activists say around one hundred people are killed each day in fighting between the rebels and pro assad forces and most of the victims are civilians e.u. and estimates more than ten thousand have died since the conflict started early last year and as the rebels try to bring down the ruling regime some say they are using any available means no matter how small artie's maria if an ocean has more. this is. the place for these kids boys and girls is at the playground and someone dressed them in a military uniform hung them with real guns told them what to say and put in front of camera. 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 kids half remain silent. 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. to look and see children among true assad demonstrators. four year old ray young is praising his motherland and this is a microphone the kids karine not a kalashnikov. baryons father couldn't imagine that his youngest son is participating in apache otic rally which put all his family in danger and lead to the murder of his other two children and they threatened us many times once the road on the house as well that the time has come then they sent me a symbolic loop then they put the picture of reality on facebook promising five

hundred thousand syrian pounds to those who bring him to them we couldn't imagine they'll come to our home and not let me in i mean and as i wanted to prepare for exams and went to sleep in the living room and this is where they smash first they were shootings and they cried a lot darker than i hid under the bed. and then they moved to the school. isn't all me away before his death that he feels he will not finish his exams and even if he does not get a certificate it's got qantas abated everything he told me wants mom they gonna kill me. am unsure me is eldest son was shot dead on the way to hospital as he was trying to get help to his injured brother little rayyan escaped death only because that night he stayed with his grandparents and i was crying because they killed us then i miss him a lot he so wanted to get a good certificate again you have a key the funerals of the two teenagers had been on the guard this is what they do

here in syria the family says when someone dies as a martyr. my body tried to kill us this is their freedom if you're not with them you'll be killed nicholas as they wanted to kill a song like houla and then see this is the government officially valinor not mine is that it's not losing a thing that's enough we lost a lot not ready to lose any more. thing said matilda about yemen has three more brothers left he has something to lose in this cemetery we found at least eight fresh graves small ones but in the rubble kids are becoming victims of grown up games in this conflict they've been used as human shields they've been forced to take up arms and they've been killed for a purpose they barely understand and no one can say for sure how many more will die until always found to stop the violence. r.t.

reporting from syria roger it is formally asked the eurozone for one hundred billion euros to shore up its crisis hit banks it is expected to be signed over by july ninth the request came hours before ratings giant moody's is expected to cut this horrible of the country's banks but actual adviser marco peter polies says spain's financial sector is in more trouble than it's letting on. we 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 or not remains to be seen whether more money will be needed it is probable because the situation is deteriorating in spain so that the amount or debts will continue to rise at least in the in the near term so yes it's probably a starting point model and an end point not only the banks reliant on bailouts

but that they're also reliant on the e.c.b. for funding any money waste into bank funding dried up some time ago in europe and the e.c.b. has become the only source of liquidity for a lot of these a lot of these banks. ecuador mo's the decision of giving julian assad's diplomatic asylum the whistleblower remains in scott in the country's london embassy he's out of refuge there almost a week ago after the u.k. supreme court decided on his extradition to sweden where he's wanted on questioning over sexual assault accusations sarah ferguson following aside his ongoing battle. he's a man he's described as being let down by his own country australia and having exhausted most of his legal options in the u.k. and going battle against extradition to sweden where he faces questioning a first sexual assault allegations and of course the fifth has always been that if

extradited to sweden it would be very easy to extradite him across to the u.s. a country that still carries the death penalty for some of the crimes that they've accused him of killing innocent and his supporters have always maintained that the case against him is politically motivated and i can play in the silence not just the sunshine itself but also wiki leaks the revolutionary whistle blowing web site that has hugely embarrassed many western governments in the past now the spike having spent more than five hundred days detained without charge that hasn't stopped julian songe and in that time he's hosted an insidious show that's been running on our t.v. now in a previous show we'd seen him interviewing the president of ecuador and they seemed to hit it off the president of ecuador telling julian assange welcome to the club of the persecuted now in what will be his eleventh and final interview airing tomorrow on our feet jillian assigned to meet with the man that he disguised as

giants of the intellectual left renowned linguist and rebel thing can be and every believe the street fighting novelist and military historian now during that interview they discussed the new ways of revolutionary movements we've seen taking place around the world in the past couple of years i didn't see it coming i don't think most people saw it coming to your commission of very. inspired activities all of the you moved to the. spring has been very you fractious and it's still going moment different chords don't try. sooner or later there would have to be a popular reaction to the. bitter cliffs were the been for the past generation talking about the united states but the phenomena are basically world some are you going to see his eleventh and final interview for

his show on a faith i tell you no less controversial and intriguing that we've come to expect from the man he founded wiki leaks he many say have revolution allies and he once again has the entire eyes of the wells upon him in his own going struggle against extradition. and sarah mentioned you can watch the last and latest and final episode of a songes interview show tuesday we're also following the case against him since the beginning and you can find more of it on our website or t dot com here's some other stories you can take a look at while you're there the u.k. government reportedly wants to sweep under the carpet claims of abuse committed by british soldiers at a secret network of the illegal prisons in iraq. and the russia parades is the latest military hardware of the international forum for engineering technologies two thousand and twelve take a look at r t v dot com. for us minesweepers have arrived in the persian gulf of

vital shipping route for the global economy this after an iranian military chief said the islamic state might try to block the strait of hormuz to defend its interests situation i'm joined by ali risk an expert on middle eastern affairs. so this isn't the first time iran has threatened to shut off the strait but despite the fact that it would hit tehran's own oil industry do you think you really see iran going ahead with this idea or is this just saber rattling. no i'm not sure that iraq will go ahead with this idea if things remain as they are right now however if we see some sanctions increased or for tighter or harsher sanctions then yes there are now might resort to other tricks that might have are but sleep other weapons that might have opportunity including taking some measures of industry of hormones but i think that you can also look at this from another

angle president obama has been accused a lot by birth the israelis and by republicans of being too soft on iran and recently a number of senators even sent a letter to obama urging him to make the military option anymore credible so it's interesting now that this step sending these minesweepers comes after these voices of have come out the whole case voices from the u.s. and also from history are calling for his harshest and so is this may be an attempt by obama to make the military option appear more credible as it were so we cannot i think i'll just say that it's part it's we're

treating. doesn't see the relationship with israel as being so special it's more even handed in its approach and i think that in the future would put more constraints on israel and would be very bad be very bad news for israel and i think in this way maybe after the elections russia could play a bigger role in trying to solve many crises in the region including the iranian

nuclear standoff. an expert in middle east affairs thanks for your insight. now to some other stories making headlines across the globe torrential rains have triggered a landslide in eastern england that struck three villages in a mountainous region scores possibly hundreds are feared dead after their homes were buried villages affected are situated near a major tourist attraction which is close to the border with kenya landslides are not unusual for more than twenty died in a similar incident last august. dozens of anti-government protesters were detained in nepal after clashes with riot police near katmandu use airport demonstrators demanded the prime minister resign and tried to block his motorcade as he returned from a conference in brazil police try to quell the crowd by beating them with bamboo but tons and shields at least one protester was badly injured. it in the key suspect allegedly involved in the planning of the deadly attacks of two

right now and how this could affect. that point of view europe though some of the very healthy as. we all know from our supply point of view the market is prove using enough to account for the iranian sanction effect so the market is really getting affected by two prongs so. too weak on supply to march 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 far russia i think is going to have to make some very painful decisions in this sphere 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. for a one that comes to the markets it's

a sea of red enter nationally if we saw with wall street the only one trying to find out as i mentioned earlier look and see that the dow is losing over one percent on the nasdaq is already setting over some percent and this is despite the fact that we had a report saying that new home sales data show that it's i don't see here high for the month of may again news coming from europe is not helping investors let's take a look at what happened there and basically investors are focusing more on the e.u. summit which will take place later this week and leaders are expected to discuss a firmer fiscal integration as well as a banking union to establish that but again we have i know less saying that they doubt that we'll see any major moves been taken by these leaders and that's reflected in the numbers that you see the france a loss of one percent and the german dax over super sides in the red their arrival moving on to russia a similar picture here stocks end of the day a low where we had our three has dropped in almost one and

a half percent and the my sex slightly behind there and of course crude prices us that have a major effect let's take a look at some individuals have moves on the mice. to get a better idea of how the blue chips perform most of the one that actually lower if we had financial struggling a small gas from los almost super sad and also what we know about the companies that its subsidiary has reportedly made an offer to buy twenty five billion dollars they and it's a venture company here in the country i'm talking about gas one that apparently in salt acquired c. in k b p and bucking the trend all day long was after all it's news that the government will retain its golden chance through the company's privatized nation moving on to currencies the euro is still losing against the dollar and that's as the dollar is strengthening because the investors are avoiding riskier assets when it comes to the ruble the closing picture there again when it comes to the euro lost when it came to the dollar as it will strengthen as i mentioned and this is how business looks for this hour. all right thank you very much maria and coming up
