it opened in syria for shooting down a turkish jet but stopped short of naming it an attack against its members. live near putin on the final leg of his middle east tour in jordan after urging restraint between israel and the palestinians as he met separately with their leaders. and arab spring countries could be turning into militant training grounds the u.k.'s top spy warns of a new terror threat. eight pm in moscow. good to have you with us here on r t our top story nato's condemn the

downing of a turkish fighter jet by syria but it fell short of calling it an attack on the alliance that something on a member of the bloc wanted to push for an emergency meeting in brussels saying damascus committed an act of aggression or his tests are cilia reports. well it was a very short statement at the end of this closed door meeting essentially nato said that to syria's downing of the turkish jets is unacceptable and the need to condemn said in the strongest possible terms and also that it stands by 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 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 and therefore any one of the members could stop any joint action that

you know the 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 serious a good acted in self-defense that be a jet had over into a syrian air space and therefore it had every right to shoot down the plane that it saw as a threat to all turkey on the other hand said that it was simply a mistake it was testing its own domestic missile defense as far as the international community for now was concerned they've stopped short of saying that

there should be any military action but for sure there are some voices calling for stronger actions against assad in the syrian regime but the priority for now made to even said that the priority is to defuse the tension first and foremost. turkey meanwhile doesn't seem ready to let things cool down it's warned that any syrian military unit approaching its territory will be regarded as a threat and a target and despite his claims the downed jet was just on a training mission some believe it could have been spying on damascus it happened one day and only after the image of the fictional on stadium pilots could be sustained and it was marked and decided it was actually. very that shut it down with a maximum range with iran goes on lead so what was the i'm doing is i'm going to get away from. some of our land our territory of water i don't think the need to or to have any legal. situation for putting any more pressure on syria it's something

else the digital is doing you know perhaps that in courting or trying to spy on the syrian army's movement in that area because they're you know out there you will be this close to the syrian border there is actually no sense of some kind of delegations one inside syria clashes between government troops in iraq bulls was reportedly broken out outside damascus our team in the city center says heavy gunfire and explosions could be heard in the distance the seat of assad's government has seen a rise in terror insurgent attacks in recent weeks violence is escalating across the country with a u.n. observer mission failing to make a difference a special talks hosted by un envoy kofi annan will be held saturday in geneva russia's foreign minister said to attend meanwhile in an interview with our teeth the top syrian diplomat says continuing on to arrest his government with no choice but to plot to buy arms from abroad. as

a nation of the under attack syria has the right to procure a weapon that it can use to protect its. people of 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. some of the confirmations to be providing the militants with that one that which in turn contributes to escalating violence in syria we lose our troops every day to terrorist attacks and we knew civilians who were killed by militants no reason simply because an insurgency. that's a number of people in a specific area or went on the rebels and intimidate show that into shutting down this stalls this is presented as an anti-government protests and that's where it 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 in just over twenty minutes

here at r.t. . i was escalating its middle east mediation efforts as president putin has arrived for the final leg of his tour in jordan earlier he called on all factions in the israeli palestinian conflict not to take unilateral action and to restart peace talks as he separately met with prime minister benjamin netanyahu and president mahmoud abbas or his policy or is following the talks. putin has arrived in the jordanian capital of amman where he is meeting with the jordanian king abdullah the two are discussing the story israeli palestinian negotiations at the same time issues of regional importance that include iran syria and possibly even egypt earlier he was in the palestinian city of bethlehem where he met with the palestinian president mahmoud abbas topping their agenda was the issue of the israeli palestinian negotiations that have seen no breakthrough for more than three years following that meeting and said that the talks had been frank had 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 tele still in position which is mainly that of a two state solution and that russia supported this position which it saw as being very responsible he wound down 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 asked him to pass on a message to president abbas that israel was willing to sit down and talk but a bus has responded in saying that it can be no negotiations for as long as israel continues its expansionist policies in the area and i don't 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 supported and seen by many as a neutral mediator it is worth noting that also on the agenda are the issues of iran to this area and the russian president urged the israeli leadership not to conduct any kind of strike he said that sanctions would. counterproductive 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 is weighty russian relationships are important even minded president hussan that musta had supported the establishment of the two 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 so it was in international community's interest coming soon so hopes to bolster its forces along its disputed border in the yellow sea in

a few minutes we take a look at why south korea is planning to build a new naval military base on the island is also claimed by the north. whistleblower to talk show or it's time for the next installment of julian assad his interview show on our t.v. watching question activist intellectuals noam chomsky and terry go easy on the revolutionary phenomenon that's taking the world by storm. but first the u.k.'s top spy is war and a new terror threat could be brewing the head of m i five said uprisings in the middle east have created new militant training camps up to two hundred extremists from the u.k. are thought to have joined forces with heavily armed terror groups in yemen somalia libya syria and afghanistan middle east peace activist dr franklin lamb thinks nato bombing of libya opened the gates for al qaeda. when you've got an operation like nato on slaughtering civilians in pakistan afghanistan and iraq of course it's going to activate them and give them the opportunity as you know al qaeda has urged

its leadership and surge of people to go to syria and get training and go to southern turkey and also in libya it was a rush to enter and to topple the regime i think that once the classic mistake i spent four months there got to know a number of the different factions and and it was clear that al-qaeda was there some cases they were training the same militia of the british were training and the americans and the french were training and now they're joining they're increasing their ranks two months three months ago that is a congressional hearing a cia analyst told the congress because there were three hundred not some al qaeda in syria now they estimate there's thirty one hundred so because nato got this thing going in libya there was this opportunity and there was no will respond to an opportunity and that's what we're seeing now. euro zone will have to find more cash

for another of its struggling members after cyprus became the fifth state to say it needs a bailout it cited heavy exposure to greece the block's hardest hit member no official figures have yet been given but i miss analysts estimate cyprus could ask for five to ten billion euros but that's only a slice of the hundred billion spain's already asked to shore up its own beleaguered banks the promise of rescue cash though did not save madrid's banking sector from another international downgrade ratings giant moody's slashed the scores of twenty eight of spain's lenders racist research euro ruse thinks the eurozone is trapped in a vicious circle of debt and bailout. what we see now is that this this crisis reached sort of a tipping point especially in the in the case of cyprus and spain where we call. it's called the do loop 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 this real government so that it can continue putting out its own banks there's an ironic situation one hundred billion is not enough for the spanish banks will probably need a lot more and i think within a year to 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 in 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 it 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 to be needs. a bailout and in the near future when you can find out how much money the euro zone's pumping into its ailing members that

are t. dot com and why are there you can check out other stories online right now has he insect or a nano surveillance drone or a us university developing a bug sized flying aspies that could revolutionize covert action. and the not so bad for russia's chief export and drug abuse holds the beatles responsible for promoting drugs back in the sixty's all the details at r.t. dot com. so with korea planning to build a new front line naval base near its disputed border with the north side of clashes between the rivals in the past the base will be located at one of five islands recognized as south korean by the un in the fifty's although appealing yang's always refused to accept the decision james corbett from the corbett report believes the base is a sign of an escalating conflict in the region. 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 may indicate an increase in border tensions and perhaps even military tensions between the two entities and 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 may 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 gives it 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 egypt's defeated presidential front runner has fled the country hours after a corruption case was opened again step the former prime minister of ousted leader hosni mubarak left for the united arab emirates with most of his family meanwhile newly elected president mohamed morsi is starting to form a government which we which he promised will represent all egyptians he also met with military rulers who've been running the country since mubarak was overthrown last february the army promised to officially transfer of power saturday when morsi is sworn in as head of state but the question remains whether they'll stick to the deadline and how much power the president will actually have experts think gaining full control of the country won't be an easy task for him. i think the real critical issue is is his relationship with these of the military dictatorship there the military has made it very clear that it will not subordinate 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 several decades why did it 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 and 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 where washed it's going to go and it's turning now to some other stories making headlines around the world a massive blast levels several houses in a residential area in the city of oldham in northern england a child was found dead and one man suffered severe burns in the blast that's

believed to have been caused by a gas leak rescuers are searching through the rubble for anyone who could be trapped around one hundred nearby homes were evacuated. gunmen attacked the headquarters of a private arab t.v. station in beirut starting fires around the property one of the assailants was detained at arrest comes after the t.v. channel aired a fiery interview with a sunni muslim islam most who criticized the hezbollah movement the group itself condemned the incident saying it's not behind the violence. police into libya with government supporters and officers on strike over i'm ok were met by supporters of president evo morales after marching to the city's main square police used tear gas to drive back the pro-government groups the country's leaders accuse the officers of setting the stage for a coup claiming the motives are political. the ugandan government says a rescue mission has turned the sewer cover has turned to recovery at the site of

monday's landslides eighteen people have been confirmed dead after several villages were swept away on the slopes of a mountain landslides buried houses and mud and up to one hundred people mostly children remain missing landslides are sadly not unusual for the country dozens sometimes hundreds die in similar incidents every year. it's been a week since juliana songe asked ecuador for diplomatic asylum and sought refuge in the country's london embassy no decision on that has yet been made me while prominent us. prominent americans including filmmakers michael moore and oliver stone along with renowned academic noam chomsky signed a letter in support of assad is bad chomsky is one of the guests on the whistleblower show airing today here on r t here's a preview. now moving over to the middle east the deep concern in the united states and the other traditional imperial powers britain france particularly

concern is that now they may the middle east may get out of control and that syria's a much more serious than south america so i agreed that's why they invaded libya and i have no doubt about it was the real stablished and crew. 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 of the countries that are crucial to western imperial power the oil producers they have been under a very tough and in saudi arabia kuwait the emirates the major oil producing regions it never got off the ground the intimidation of the security forces back to the west was so enormous that people were literally afraid to go into the streets and the west mainly france and as you noted states and britain and egypt are following a very traditional pattern there's a playbook that you pursue you gives you a kind of a game plan when some favored dictators lose the capacity to rule.

well that's coming your way in just over an hour here on our team. in a recent crackdown on radical islam german authorities launched a nationwide raids on ultra conservative religious groups the salafist there suspected of having links to extremists and posing a threat to democracy but for years the movement enjoyed conditions that allowed it to thrive as artie's acts on a boy who reports from berlin. to the casual passers by these are just ordinary young muslims who want to be understood by the neighbors but if you can't distribute the bible why should you be able to distribute the qur'an these young men are countrymen 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 living this time and read the meaning of the qur'an in german and the man is face at hearings of an ultra conservative

branch of islam infamous for their righteousness and intolerance of infidels the mansion house and a bunch of people control other people in the west it's called democracy to me there's only one. judgement but how do you know what the most towards. distributing today according to german domestic intelligence report salafism 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 by the length of her birth and since it's a mainstream islam has the same problem was a smaller first like non muslims because of a radical in the us and in some. situations they did accept 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 humber 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 recognised as incompatible with democratic values hard core fundamentalist mainstream muslims i just this to tell us christians jews. and main in this berlin mosque. i believe to him that the last two pickups. it was time to sprout of this alcohol jules hall because it's neat sponsored saudi arabia to germany point 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 promote

salafi and related to how the movement's 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 growth in radical islamist power increasing in 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 and 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 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 those changes are likely to empower groups that are now banned in germany itself acts on a boycott artsy berlin. hello marina what's going on in the world of business tell us about the trading day yes hi matt well we have some new reports coming out from the u.s. of all sort in fact is the only one trade arrive right now civil starts with a look at the latest figures. which all pointed upwards should say and what you have there is two reports and they're mixed because one says that consumer confidence has now declined for a fourth month and they're all we can take a look at the figures while i'm saying this of course so consumer confidence has declined for the fourth month in their role right now it is at the lowest level since january and also we have a report that says that u.s. home prices shot up in the month of april and that's the worst again since last also so a mixed report that you could have the figures out in points to one percent the

nasdaq going slowly towards half a percent in the black they have always see how this develops later on the trading session when they come see europe let's take a look at the closing picture there when it comes to the foot sea just the last bought the german dax managed to add by the same amount and there we had investors focusing on a mixture of data first of all we know that german call finance has gone back up of course that's a major boost for investors confidence but they can't seem to get over the fact that spanish borrowing costs are going to higher also of course the country asking for a bailout sign personal asking for a bailout as well all of this is not helping them now when it comes to currencies this take a look at that when it comes to the euro it is losing against the dollar of the ruble this is how it ended the session today again against both major currencies now let's take a look at how the russian markets performed which by the way was

a much better than what we saw on monday the bourses managed to get into the r.t.s. and five gained over two percent and that's us crude prices are more or less going to. stay in with i want to talk about one company in particular and that is to avoid superjet that probably russia is a major as perhaps all of them have rocketed wife told for two thousand and eleven the company says the result was primarily supported by stronger maintenance services and civil is of course mostly famous for its as you fighters. and it also makes the seville super jet one hundred and the crash of russia super jet of one hundred and in the last month of course for the major concerns over the future of its sales forty five passengers died during a demonstration flight when the jet crashed and amounts and then we spoke to the head of bowling here. and he explained how and why this affect the demand for the jets i would think that there are. turned out to be pretty good

that it's the most more than we can all get in the world and the world does need a lot of we can all get out says that it's about nineteen hundred and airplanes so that the world. with less than two hundred doesn't get the passing it gets it's big business it's about seventy billion dollars business in russia yeah the whole market is about one follows an airplane it's about ten billion dollars and fifteen percent of all planes need it in russia yes we can oh yes so it's about ten billion dollars market i think from a marketing point of view point made it absolutely right decision and during the civil aviation market in this nation that we need to double the world. right now far less likely got some oil prices even though they're going higher they're still shedding their eighteen month lows we can see the lines with this still below eighty dollars per barrel the run blend has managed to make a little bit of

a comeback but as i said prices are quite low which is never a good thing for the russian economy is all oil majors here in the country right on the snow it's all rap at all for this nation of business for now back to you matt all right thank you very much maria for that update and coming up shortly we ask syria's deputy foreign minister what he thinks needs to be done to bring peace to his country stay with us. in the over. there hasn't been anything yet on t.v.
