it's five pm in moscow this is our to coming to you live from nice and now with our top story we begin with nato which is condemning the downing of a turkish fighter jet by syria but fell short of calling it an attack on the alliance but something that ankara a member of the bloc had been pushing for an emergency meeting in brussels saying damascus committed an act of aggression or to test or sylvia has more well it was a very short statement at the end of this a closed door meeting essentially nato said that to syria's downing of the turkish jets is unacceptable and a need to condemns it in the strongest possible terms and also that it stands by a turkey in a show of solidarity when asked to elaborate on what specific actions could follow after this most and simply did not want to give any details and he says that he hopes and things that it just will not happen again this is an emergency meeting was called by turkey under article four of the

a founding treaty of nato which states that should any of the members feel threatened it can call a consultation and it has to be said that any action under article four should be a consensus in there for anyone to. the members could stop any joint action though we know that the dutch government for instance has explicitly said that military and intervention is out of the question for their government and this is very much a different article five each turkey had wanted they wanted nato to actually invoke article five which is harsher and stronger which states that an attack on one member is an attack on the whole block and therefore military action is inevitable in that case and it's only been invoked once and that is after the september eleventh attacks clearly turkey wanting stronger action here but that's not what they have gotten now in terms of what actually happened between syria and turkey both sides maintaining that they are right in their assessment syria saying it acted in self-defense that being a jet had over into a syrian airspace and therefore it had every right to shoot down

a plane that it's saw as a threat all turkey on the other hand said it was simply a mistake it was testing its own domestic missile defense as far as the international community for now is concerned they've stopped short of saying that there should be any military action but for sure there are some voices coley force longer actions against assad of the syrian regime but the priority for now they say even said that the priority is to defuse the tension first and foremost. what turkey has warned that any syrian military unit approaching its border will be regarded as a threat and therefore target claims its jet that was down by syria was on armed and on a training mission but had an independent media outlet syria tribune believes ankara could have been spying on damascus it happened on the normally. seen as the fictional. pilots it could be you were just saying. it was actually going to. be the maximum range of five on the lead so

what was the i'm doing is i'm going to throw away from. the land or through it or you will. i don't think nato or any. one for putting any more pressure on syria it's something else that was doing you know perhaps the recording what's going on the syrian army is movement in that area because it. will be close to the syrian border there is actually a sense of some kind of. well inside syria clashes between government troops and rebel forces have reportedly broken out just outside damascus our news team in the city center says heavy gunfire and explosions can be heard in the distance the seat of government has seen an increase i should say in terror and insurgent attacks in recent weeks violence is escalating across the country with

the u.n. observer mission failing to make a difference continuing on rats leaves the syrian government no choice but to buy arms from abroad says a top syrian diplomat and then interview to our. as a nation currently under attack syria has the right to procure weapons that it can use to protect its. people so the countries that have been supplying the terrorists with weapons this is a proven fact and we have brought up time to get the united states and france and some of the gulf nations to be providing the militants with that one 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 for no reason simply because an insurgent instructed to kill a certain number of people in a specific area went on the rebels and intimidate show this into shutting down this store this is presented as an anti-government protest about where is it is really

submission by business owners afraid of their property getting downed if they disobey. you can hear more from syria's deputy foreign minister next hour here on her team. president putin has called on all factions in the israeli palestinian conflict to not take action alone and restart peace talks the russian leader is now on the second leg of his middle east mediation torr which also involves helping reach an understanding on cellmates in iran and syria archer's paul's here is following the talks the russian president is in the palestinian city of bethlehem where he has been meeting with the palestinian president mahmoud abbas the focus of those talks will be stalled israeli palestinian negotiations and haven't seen any kind of breakthrough for more than three years now following that meeting put in said that the talks had been frank they'd been productive he said that russia and palestine

held very similar positions when it came to regional and international concerns he also said that the talks were supportive of the palestinian position which is mainly that of a two state solution and that russia supported this position which it saw as being very responsible woman to any kind of human lateral action by either side saying that it was counterproductive he said that they had discussed various ways of overcoming the crisis in the palestinian authority at the same time he said that both israelis and palestinians need to show restraint and on a prior commitments now last night monday the russian president met with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu that on yahoo asked him to postpone a message to president abbas that israel was willing to sit down and talk but a bus has responded in saying that they can be no negotiations for as long as israel continues its expansionist policies in the area it's unlikely we'll see a breakthrough anytime soon but certainly what this visit by the russian president

does drum home is the central role that russia can and does play in solving these regional issues russia has supported and seen by many as a neutral. mediator later today president clinton will travel to jordan where he'll meet with the jordanian king abdullah they too will be discussing regional issues it is worth noting that also on the agenda all the issues are iran to this and the russian president urged the israeli leadership not to conduct any kind of strike you see it that sanctions would come to productive and he said that they needed to be a diplomatic solution the russian president also met with his israeli counterpart last night shimon peres at that meeting he said that israeli russian relationships are important he reminded president hu's and that must go ahead supported the establishment of the jewish state back in one nine hundred forty eight at the same time he said that peace in israel was in russia's interest it was in the region's interest and certainly it was in the international community's interest. becoming

own beleaguered banks the promise of rescue cash however did not save madrid's banking sector from another international downgrade rating stein moody's has cut the scores of twenty eight of spain's lenders crisis researcher drone bruce believes the eurozone is trapped in a vicious circle of debt and bellows. what we see now is that this this crisis reached sort of a tipping point especially in the case of cyprus and spain where would economists call the duma to sort of the mutual dependence of banks and states and one another has 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 when government so basically what needs to happen is that external forces need to come in to prop up this real government so that it can continue putting out its own banks there's an ironic situation the hundred billion is not enough for the spanish banks still probably need a lot more and i think within a year of the 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 directly and this means that it will add up to the sovereign debt of spain and as a result it will make it more difficult for spain to repay its debts in the long term this one hundred billion euros that's being piled onto into the spanish banking system right now will add up to fifteen percent. in debt for spain and this is the real thing that we should be looking at because this will this will actually make it more likely that spain needs. a bailout in the near future but if you find out how much money the eurozone is pumping into its allan members that are t. dot com monster there while you're there check out other stories that we're covering for you today online pouts keep insects or a national surveillance drone a u.s. universities developing bug sized flying spies which could revolutionize covert warfare. and the not so for russia's chief expert in drug abuse

dot com. south korea is planning to build a new front line naval base near its disputed border with the north side of clashes between the two rivals in the past and the base will be located on one of five islands recognizes south korea by the u.n. in the one nine hundred fifty s. although pyongyang has always refused to accept the decision james corbet editor of the news and information science the corbett report believes the base is a sign of an escalating conflict in the reach him. well the important thing to remember about this is that it's in fact the second provocation in less than one week from from south korea against north korea in fact just on monday pyongyang was protesting the use of the north korean flag as a target during some joint military exercises that were being conducted very close to the north korean border and so this has to be seen as something of an escalation that that me indicate an increase in border tensions and perhaps even military

tensions between the two entities the question is why now and it has to be understood that there is something of a quiet revolution happening in north korea in terms of its relations with china china has invested over two billion dollars worth of infrastructure in the last year alone to build roads and and other things that may be part of an infrastructure whereby china will be able to start investing more and more in north korea and south korea to me see that as a type of threat against their their one leverage over north korea which is their food aid and their monetary aid to the north and if china is investing more and more north korea that kind of gets gives them more of an advantage in that respect so we might see some mounting military tension to to try to regain south korea's predominance over north korea. it was newly elected president mohamed morsi has moved into his new office and is starting to form a government there some as the leader has promised it will represent all egyptians including muslims and christians he also met with the military rulers have been

running the country since mubarak was ousted last february the army promised to officially transfer power on saturday when morsi is sworn in as head of state over the question remains whether they'll stick to the deadline and how much power the president will actually have experts believe gaining full control of the country won't be an easy task for morsi. i think the real critical issue is is his relationship base of the military dictatorship there the military has made it very clear that it will not subordinate self to the civilian rule. and the question is whether he's going to go along with that and the ultimate question is does the u.s. government continue to fund his military dictatorship which it has been doing for some time by cute margaret is that 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 premier supporter of this dictatorship where does that leave washington does it support the democratic movement does it continue to support the military dictatorship which is refusing to subordinate itself to the civilian rule impossible to know were washed it's going to go on this. coming up here on our religious intolerance sir radical islam has prompted german authorities to take action but is it too that all too late they investigate shortly. more news making headlines around the world masked gunmen have attacked the headquarters of a private arab television station in beirut starting fires around the property one of the assailants was detained they are under arrest comes after the t.v. channel aired a fiery interview with a sunni muslim islamists who criticize the hezbollah movement the group itself

condemned the incident saying it's not behind the violence. police in bolivia have clashed with government supporters in the city of the past officers on strike over low pay were met by supporters of president ever morales after marching to the city's main square police used tear gas to drive back the pro-government groups the country's leader has accused officers of setting the stage for a coup claiming their motives are political. uprisings in the middle east have created. new terrorist training camps an auspicious conditions for potential attacks that's according to the head of the u.k.'s m i five security service he says al-qaeda militants are using the countries which toppled their leaders in the arab spring as bases to train the radical western use of the two hundred u.k. stream mr thought to have joined forces with heavily armed terrorist groups in yemen somalia libya syria and afghanistan. such

a rise of radical islam islam leaving many western countries worried in germany of areas have launched nationwide raids on ultra conservative religious groups the salafi just perspective having links to extremists and posing a threat to democracy but for years the movement has enjoyed conditions that have made it thrive as exxon of boycotts reports. to the casual passers by these are just ordinary young muslims who want to be understood by the neighbors but only if you can distribute the bible to be able to distribute the qur'an these young men are countrymen and they want to share what they believe in what's wrong with that but when you look closer desperately not just what they believe in but what they insist is their one and only truth worth believing this son read the meaning of the koran in german and the man is to laugh ace at hearings of an ultra conservative branch of islam infamous for their righteousness and intolerance of infidels. and

a bunch of people control all the people in the west it's called democracy which is for me does anyone still. judgment but how do you know what the most of one's. distributing today according to german domestic intelligence report itself isn't is the fastest growing islamic movement in the world is preaching ever literally interpretation of the qur'an to the point of gauging someone supplied by the shape of his beard or but the length of her birth and since that. the mainstream islam has the same problem was a solipsist like those none muslims because of ever at ecole in the us and in some . situations they did accept also like muslims for years the german government guided by political correctness watched as the domestic salafi community grew in size given the fact that some of the nine eleven perpetrators used to belong to

homburg mosque didn't prompt much action but this month after a series of police raids the german government moved to ban a number of salafi groups whose ideology was recognized as incompatible with democratic values hard core fundamentalist mainstream muslims i justice and tell us christians she was a force. in this berlin mosque a relief to hear about the domestic violence of the cops. it was time to spread of this ideology as a whole because it's needs points from saudi arabia to among germany me foreign policy pals it's not only germany that's concerned about the spread of cultural radical islam a few years ago france outlawed the full face veil norway has also banned saudi funded mosques but as western countries are increasingly taking a stance against radical islam their foreign policy goal but seems to promoted salafi and related what had the movements a seeing

a major resurgence across the middle east especially in countries affected by the arab spring in the wake of the arab spring we've seen a group radical islamist power increasing its influence there is an 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 in links historically to al qaida and also the saudi arabian ruling regime and washington have worked together. for a long time while germany's far less vocal in the need for regime change in syria than it was in libya as an agent member is still in favor of and forcing so-called

democratic changes even they've these changes are likely to empower groups that are now banned in germany and south x. on the way to artsy berlin. it's been a week since julian a songe asked ecuador for diplomatic asylum and took refuge in the country's embassy in london yet no decision has been made in my prominent americans including filmmakers michael moore and oliver stone along with renowned philosopher noam chomsky have signed a letter in support of a sanchez bit chomsky's in fact one of the gas on the whistleblower show that's airing today here in archie. now moving over to the middle east the deep concern in the united states and the other imperial traditional imperial powers britain france particularly concern is that now they may the middle east might get out of control and that syria's a much more serious than south america so i agree that's why they invaded libya and i have no doubt about it was the real star basically in crude. i agree but i think

it's all over so for example if you take a look at what's happened in the arab spring the countries that are crucial to western imperial power the oil producers they have been under a very tough hand in saudi arabia kuwait the emirates the major oil producing regions it never got off the ground the intimidation of the security forces backed by the west was so enormous that people were literally afraid to go into the streets and the west mainly for. and. are following a very traditional there's a playbook that you pursue gives you a kind of a game with some flavor. lose the capacity to rule. and you watched that episode of julian assange just talk show at half past the hour

here on our change for that it's check in with marina at the business that she joins us in a sea of red on monday now it seems like groundhog day what is happening out there it is looking good earlier on the fall of this four monstrosity it's all about this but it is slightly a mixed picture it's they saw a little bit there friends so if we take a look at europe for us we'll see that the figures are not exactly as have as we saw of course on monday. and so there is you can see with the foot sciatic just the notion of i would say it's more than anything we did get a nice surprise coming from germany and that's because there's been an improvement in confidence data that came out now also we do know of course that investors are still feeling the pressure because spanish foreign call sub going higher the country is has asked for more money cyphers has asked for more money we had those downgrades recently all this is not really helping boost investor confidence in general we should say will stay with the u.s. on the one side but it's only right now because it is considering allowing its

banks to sell bonds to the government now bloomberg news agency says the measure could be approved later on tuesday and it's in these phone deals are all i said that's on fears that e.u. leaders will not come up with any viable solutions to the eurozone debt crisis when they meets on thursday will of course be watching that before all is said to look at how u.s. futures are looking wall street will start trading in a couple of minutes from now and this is an indication of how the markets will be performing as you can see there going to higher which is a nice surprise compared to what been seen in europe but i'll be talking about russia of course later. and there investors will be waiting to hear about the latest reports i want to have the with consumer confidence for the month of june and the other is home price index and that's for the month of april this tends to have a major either a disappointment off course and courage as investors to keep those numbers going higher and higher but let's move on and take a look at the russian markets and how they're performing they have been positive territory so far this day which is in stark contrast to what we saw of course on

monday the r.t.s. is getting over two percent of my sex is getting crude prices aren't helping but some analysts say that the recent sell off as some people see it as a buying opportunity now and this is reflected in the numbers of course we're moving on to currencies that see what's happening with the euro dollar every ruble of course when it comes to the euro it is not losing against the dollar when it comes to the ruble it's strengthening against both major currencies and this is the kind of stability that investors have been looking for for the past couple of days moving on to oil which is a sad always a major as a major impact on the russian economy it's a recovering slightly but at the same time the prices still in the eighteen month low as you can see that light sweet is traded below eighty dollars per barrel the broadband is making a slight rebound but still not add in at that margin and of course as i said this has a major effect on russian oil companies and in fact business r.t. spoke to one of those companies passionate about how this market volatility has

affected their company. most of the crude price of ninety five dollars a barrel or keep benchmark when you see what's going on in the markets move already dropped below this level just as the government has its own nancy grace is powerless we've got our own measures first of all these and in the long term investments and real quick new programs going to be to have all and all the news the crash of russia so of course super jet one hundred which happened in indonesia of course the last month soared big concerns over the company's future forty five people died when it crashed into a mountain as i said this happened in may and analysts have been debating what will happen to the company and what will happen to the demand but we spoke to a city gate after the call from boeing and he reassured that this will not affect that the mind of the jets. i would think that that will play in our turned out to be pretty good that it's the most more than we can all get in the world and the world doesn't need a lot of we're going to get all caught on the market called loeb says that it's

about ninety one hundred that are a blend so that the world will need with less than a hundred that's a good capacity to jets it's a very big business about seventy billion dollars business in russia c.i.s. the whole market is about one falls in the airplane it's about them billion dollars and fifteen percent of all whole airplanes needed even russia's yes we can all guess so it's about them billion dollar market think from a marketing point of view made it absolutely why do so from and dream of the civil aviation market in this nation that it's here we need to double the world. car and isolate us from the business here from the side of course also try to give you those figures that aren't looking forward to it thanks for that update certainly here on r.g.p. we're bringing you the latest episode of julian assange just so he talks to two prominent thinkers and philosophers on the state of the modern world don't go away

. well with. science technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've got the future covered. line. would be soo much brighter if you lived.
