12:02 am
integrity will national security have been threatened the last time article four was invoked in two thousand and three shortly before the wreck invasion and back then again that was took his initiative this time took he has called for a meeting for consultations often it's fanta just will show don by syria and in syria and turkey is insisting that it will show dollars while it was flying over the international rule to some thirty miles away from the syrian coast it's also been saying that syria had been firing on another plane that's been in the area for rescue and search operations and we've been hearing strong words following this incident from an karrar described as a hostile action as an act of aggression and western countries have also condemned syria for raising an acceptable and disproportionate became very serious position remains a clear whether that was an act of self-defense and it's been behaving within the
12:03 am
international law off to the plane did violate its airspace and it had no choice but down it's off to these happened and syria is also saying that. it was a hate by the croft machine gun which has a range of that soon too and hopalong which is so at the moment was the one that took this plane was teed it was flying over this here when actually rule to two two countries to have absolutely different fuel. what happened on friday and experts back to tuesday's meeting of nato members say that turkey may use this opportunity to try to persuade their lies as members go to consider these incident as an attack against turkey and if this happens the reason that potential restarts the alliance is members may invoke article five as well that says that an attack against nato
12:04 am
members should be considered as an attack against the entire block and in this case every and each nation would be nato has the right to take measures we've been hearing from western countries that they're ready to panis damascus and of course in this case fear is our main fears are that it would be. using armed forces a group that ministry of the regime will be here and it will from nature's officials about possible intervention to syria and while many diplomats say there is no appetite at the stage for war for military called flicks in the region right now this could be used by the alliance as a pretext to start the operation here in syria and of course in this case syrian conflict has already claimed. hundreds and thousands of lies a position activists say fifteen thousands of life u.n. says more than ten thousand alive so it's been quite bloody conflict already during
12:05 am
these sixteen months but of course if the reason ration foreign ministry operation against syria aides will lead to more and more blood to flow unfortunately. this international around us will simply push the events inside syria out of the headlines or what's the current situation on the ground as you see it. but we have to say that the question is between governmental forces and the rebels to continue and we've seen dramatic escalation recently and just on the way here to studio i've heard sounds of explosions. and challenge shootings just not far from where we are which is. the center of this city so. many experts say that the regime has been fighting with these surgeons for six months already and it is now because at the beginning was it was is was not such a serious that your carbonated force like it is right now and of course the regime
12:06 am
is struggling right now we are fighting the state and actually say that if they were misled in syria this is a very good moment for that. ok officer if not for life in damascus thank you for now. turkey claims it's down the jet was unarmed and they were simply testing out the country's radar system but the head of an independent syrian the media outlets it was probably spying on damascus it could be there we're just saying. we know. it was marked and this time it was actually. shut it down with a maximum range of. what it was that i'm doing if i were goes away from. our land or our territorial waters i don't think the needle or any legal.
12:07 am
situation for putting any more pressure on syria is something the digital is doing . or trying to spy on the syrian army's movement in that area because the. area to be this close to the syrian border is actually a sense of. some kind of. intelligence one. later in the program marty interviews a top syrian diplomats who defends the country's continued purchase of arms from abroad. syria has the right to procure weapons that it can use to protect itself and its sovereignty and it's up to the countries that have been supplying the terrorists with weapons this is a proven fact that we have brought up time and again the united states and france and some of the gulf nations have been providing the militants with that which in turn contributes to escalating violence in syria we lose our troops every day to terrorist attacks and we knew civilians were killed by militants no reason simply
12:08 am
because an insurgent instructed to kill a certain number of people in a specific area when armed rebels intimidate show. into shutting down this stalls this is presented as an anti-government protest where is it is really submission by business owners afraid of their property getting downed if they disobey. intel of if president putin has called on both israelis and palestinians to resume talks to break the regional stalemate russia's leader is due to meet the palestinian leader. to push the same message moscow is also stepping up efforts to help resolve the conflict in syria tension of. interest. has more. 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
12:09 am
palestinians to resume peace negotiations the israeli prime minister responded with this close that it was complicated but simple and that word president putin peace pawson that message when he meets with the palestinian president mahmoud abbas in the palestinian city of ramallah clinton 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 of a wall morial to the raid army that was unveiled in the israeli city of the time 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 moscow has a huge role to play in dealing with issues in this region it is regarded by all the
12:10 am
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 israeli leadership talking about striking to around 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 closer relationship which is certainly the mood that was put forward by both netanyahu and putin this growing relationship between israel and russia those two might help russia and the united states as relationship which has been waning in recent months. or across the border from israel egypt's president elect mohamed morsi will begin forming a new government to be to his rival in the presidential runoff. however they still face a standoff with the country's military council in power since the ousting of for many of the holes in the barrel before the vote took place last week the generals

dissolved the tips is missed that part and and paste limitations on presidential power and taken home by their phony future of freedom foundation says the changes in egypt will have political strategists in washington scratching their heads. i think washington is in a very difficult precarious position here for decades they've been supporting and partnering with this military dictatorship so it wasn't just a matter of barrett from power that wasn't going to bring freedom or democracy to the egyptian people the problem has always been the dictatorship itself that type of government and washed it has been one of the premier if not the creamier supporter of this dictatorship and so now you've got a man coming into power into supported by many of the egyptian people that are saying the military is no longer going to be in charge here the civilians are going to be in charge where does that leave washington does it support the democratic movement does it continue to support the military dictatorship which is refusing to

to madrid asked for a loan of up to one hundred billion euros cross' research says the user is trapped in the vicious circle. we see now is that this this crisis reached sort of a tipping point especially in the case of cyprus and spain where what we call a missed call the do loop sort of the mutual dependence of banks and states and one another is reached the point where the state is no longer capable to prop up its own banks and the banks are no longer capable to prop up their one government so basically what needs to happen is that external forces need to come in to pro israel government so that it can continue building out its own banks there's an ironic situation one hundred billion is not enough for the spanish banks still probably need a lot more and i think within a year or see another european bailout for the spanish banks coming along and at the same time these bank bailouts for the for the spanish banking system will be passed through. the spanish government and this means that it will add up to the
12:14 am
sovereign debt of speaking and as a result will make it more difficult for spain to repay its debts in the long term . this hundred billion euros that's being piled on to. right now up to fifteen percent. for this is the real thing that we should be looking at because this will this will actually make it more likely that. in the near future. there are some other news making headlines around the world this hour. eleven people have been killed in two separate blasts in iraq the first bomb exploded outside a store northeast of baghdad killing five people and injuring three six others were killed after another bomb exploded in a minibus which was carrying a group of football players in the town. more than one hundred forty people in iraq have died this month alone and attacks targeting main the shia pilgrims insurance. police in bolivia have clashed with government supporters in the city of. offices

he risk says tehran may resort to this action if faced with continuing western sanctions. i'm not sure that iran will go ahead with this idea if things remain as they are right now however if we see you some sanctions increase store for more tired or harsher sanctions then you might resort to other tricks that might have up its sleeve including taking some measures in the strait of hormuz but i think that you can also look at this from another angle president obama has been accused by birth these really isn't 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 appear more credible it might also be related to some internal factors inside the u.s. and also related to american genuine american fears that israel might go ahead and
12:17 am
launch an attack for strikes or by i think by taking this step as well the american administration might be trying to satisfy israel and keep israel or reassured that it's taking up this situation it's in control and it would allow iran to go to go too far and then in addition to the fact that it is also presenting a credible military option in case things go don't go to a world where we have plenty more stories and videos waiting for you our web site r.t. dot com including danger below deck all of a german warship turns dangerous after toxic vapors of sound on board forcing engineers to wear gas masks. three strikes but not out of the u.s. supreme court our polls are is only as controversial show me your papers immigration or. in germany an ultra conservative branch of islam is said to be on the rise salafist to promote the use of sharia law

12:21 am
overall agenda that is taking hold in the middle east and a lot of this is due to the involvement of washington and london in particular the intelligence agencies in the west have been seeding. backing radical islamist groups there are ties and links historically to al qaida and also the saudi arabian ruling regime and washington have worked together. for a long time while giuliani's far less vocal and the need for regime change in syria than it was in libya as an aging member is still in favor of and forcing so-called democratic changes even they've those changes are likely to empower groups that are now banned in germany itself x. on the way to artsy berlin. a leading u.s. figure is an. exception to this obvious political asylum request and that's
