nine pm in moscow i met très a good to have you with us here on r t our top story nato has condemned the downing of a turkish fighter jet by syria but it fell short of calling it an attack on the alliance that something on her a member of the bloc had wanted to push for at an emergency meeting in brussels saying damascus committed an act of aggression or these tests are silly 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 made 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 thinks that it just will not happen again this emergency meeting that was created 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 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 wanted 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 be a jet had lost 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 they do even said that the priority is to defuse the tension first and foremost special talks hosted by you and envoy kofi annan will be held saturday in geneva and russia's foreign minister said to attend russia's on board to the u.n. batali implementing the peace plan is still a top priority. we need to intensify international efforts to achieve a political settlement of the conflict and in this context the russian initiative to hold an international conference on syria is extremely relevant and kofi annan is proposal to have an action group meeting in geneva he is very much in line with that initiative we're looking forward to intensive interaction among the foreign ministers of those countries who will be participating in that important meeting in

order to stimulate the parties in syria to stop violence and enter into a political dialogue. inside syria clashes between government troops and or rebels was reportedly broken out just outside damascus our news team in the city says heavy gunfire and explosions could be heard in the distance the seat of assad's regime has seen wise in terror and insurgent attacks recent weeks violence escalating across the country with the u.n. observer mission failing to make any difference meanwhile in an interview with our team a top syrian diplomat says continuing on arrest leaves his government with no choice but to buy arms from abroad. as a nation currently under attack syria has the right to. use to protect its sovereignty. to the countries that have been supplying the terrorists with weapons this is a proven fact that we have boots on time and you know it's it states. and some of the gulf nations have been 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 do civilians who are killed by militant reason because an insurgency. that's a number of people in a specific area or went on the rebels and intimidate should produce. this story this is presented as a government. where it is it is really submission business owners afraid of their property getting downed if they disappear. you can hear more from syria's deputy foreign minister in a little while here on our t.v. so stay with us. president putin says the stalemate over iran's nuclear program should be resolved diplomatically on the last leg of his middle east asian tour he also said tehran should also be the show also be part of efforts to bring peace to syria policy or has more. putin has arrived in the jordanian capital of amman where

he is nice being 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 more 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 the 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 will see a breakthrough any time 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 it is worth noting that also on the agenda are the issues of iran to this end the russian president urged the israeli leadership not to conduct any kind of strike he said that sanctions. 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 relationship is all important even minded president hu's than that musta had supported the establishment of the two state back in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight at the same time he think that peace in israel was in russia's interest it was in the region's interest and certainly it was in international community's interest still to come here on r t so hopes to bolster its forces along its disputed border in the yellow sea in a few minutes take a look at why so korea is planning to build a new naval base on the islands also claimed by the north. for a whistleblower to talk show or it's time for the next installment of julian assad his interview show here on our t.v. watch him question activist intellectuals noam chomsky and terry gilliam on the revolutionary phenomenon that swept across the arab world. but first the

u.k.'s top spy warns that 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 now thought to have joined forces who with heavily armed terror groups in yemen somalia libya syria and afghanistan now joined by valentino soria counterterrorism and security analyst for the royal united services institute so western countries supported what they called move towards democracy in the arab countries but where they actually also counting on the fact that this could remake the way for to have them become terror training grounds. yeah i think that it's important to me why he said we need rain states well we've been seeing in the last year from the mentally with all these developments across the. word good to me to leave little to no power and so the kind of these abilities that these rebellion then whoosh and perhaps

created in this country is of course have provided al qaeda and other extremist groups. to really establish their food in this region possibly to better organize train other recruits and possibly plot attacks. fired you've talked about getting young people or young people becoming radicalized in the side of the u.k. what's pushing them to become militants. well it's very difficult to say there isn't a clear and very well defined pattern to radicalization that. this only applies to every every individual definitely the issue of vulnerable individuals from my be. successful susceptible to being radicalized by the kind of extremist propaganda we've been secretly did by al qaeda before and other. more recently and. of course there was some kind of trigger at the certain point which drives these

individual to decide to go and join extremist groups in their countries that we've seen across africa the middle east more recently to guide to to try to get the kind of meat and experience that they would require to possibly plot and carry out attacks across. the speaking of attacks across the u.k. britain's top spy worries that the olympic games could become a target for such an attack or do you think that could be something that homegrown terrorist target. well i believe that the my always be the possibility for these to happen of course the security around the games will be extremely tight so it will be extremely hard for any kind of terrorist group to really carry out acts of sex successful terrorist attack in the u.k. but of course my b. the chance that the greatest threat may indeed come from.

radical. extremists who are not necessarily just as you do with any kind of cell in the u.k. and so they are definitely more difficult to detect because may be keen to act alone how do you think countries can best use the rise of homegrown terror. well i think that that was the main issue to try on the stand and of course the fight against terrorism requires. international corporation especially. genocide but first of all it is important to prevent people in the needless from getting ready for life in the first place so to stop the process of radicalization and we need few was and continue to boost. if you wanted the kind of extremist groups that would possibly tie get us in the west generally so that

they kind of prevent to present a different strategy in remains the most important tool to to fight terrorists in the long term all right thank you very insight valentino soria counterterrorism and security analyst for the royal united services institute. the 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 were given but i will this estimate cyprus could ask for five to ten billion euros this is only a slice though of one hundred billion that spain's already requested to shore up its beleaguered bags the promise of rescue cash though it didn't save madrid's banking sector from another international downgrade ratings giant moody's has cut the scores of twenty eight of spain's lenders crazes researcher dr ruse thinks the eurozone is trapped in a vicious cycle of debt and balance. we see now is that this this crisis reached

sort of the tipping point especially in the case of cyprus and spain where we're coming to school to do new 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 with government so basically what needs to happen is that external forces need to come in. to profit off this real government so that it can continue getting out its own banks there's an ironic situation one hundred billion is not enough for the spanish banks they'll probably need a lot more and i think within a year will see another european bailout for the spanish banks coming along and at the same time these bank avail outs 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 sovereign 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 long bailout in the near future. find out how much money the euro zone is pumping into its ailing members at r.t. dot com a wire there check out other stories we're covering online for you pesky insect or a nano surveillance drone a us university developing bug sized flying spies that could revolutionize covert operations that are not so fab for russia's chief drug expert or treat drug of x. an expert in drug abuse holds the beatles responsible for promoting narcotics back in the sixty's all the details at our t.v. dot com. is.

the official. from the top story. on the. video. now in the palm of your. home so korea planning to build a new front line naval base near its disputed border with the north the site of clashes between the two rivals in the past the race will be located on one of the five islands recognized as south korean by the u.n. in the one nine hundred fifty s. but p.-i has always refused to accept the decision james corbet from the corporate

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 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 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 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 ahmed shafik has fled the country hours after a corruption case was opened against him the former prime minister of ousted leader hosni mubarak left for the united arab emirates along with most of his family meanwhile newly elected president mohamed morsi is starting to form a government which he promises will represent all egyptians he also met with the military rulers who have been running the country since mubarak was overthrown last february the army promised to officially transfer power on 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 the full control of the country won't be an easy task. i think the real critical

issue is is his relationship to be so be 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 then the ultimate question is does the u.s. government continue to fund this military dictatorship which it has been doing for several decades my student 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 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 has take a look now at some other stories making headlines across the globe a massive blood level several houses in a residential area in the city of oldham in northern england one child was found dead in a man suffered severe burns and the explosion believed to have been caused by a gas leak rescuers are combing the rubble for anyone else who could be trapped around one hundred nearby homes have been evacuated. masked gunmen attacked the headquarters of a private arab t.v. station in beirut starting fires around the property one of the assailants was detained he had arrest comes after the t.v. channel aired a fiery interview with a sunni muslim islamist who criticized the hezbollah movement the group itself condemned the incident saying it's not behind the violence. the libyan police clashed with government supporters and officers striking over low pay were met by supporters of president evo morales after marching to the city's main school. where 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 their motives are political. uganda's government says a rescue mission has turned to recovery at the site of monday's landslides eighteen people are so far confirmed dead after several villages were swept away on the slopes of a mountain landslides buried homes in the mud and up to one hundred people mostly children remain missing landslides are not unusual for uganda dozens sometimes hundreds die in similar incidents every year it's been a week since julian a sonder asked ecuador for diplomatic asylum and sought refuge in the country's london embassy no decision has yet been made on that meanwhile prominent americans including filmmakers michael moore and oliver stone along with renowned academic noam chomsky's signed a letter supporting us on his bid chomsky is one of the guests in the whistleblowers show airing today here on our turf. now moving over to the middle east the deep concern in the united states and the other imperial traditional

imperial powers france particularly concern is that now they may the middle east may get out of control and that syria's much more serious than south america and i agree that's why they invaded libya and i have no doubt about it was to reestablish the 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 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 united states and britain and egypt

are following a very traditional pattern there's a playbook that you pursue gives you a kind of a game plan when some favored dictators lose the capacity to rule. that's airing a little later here on our team so it's time to check out the latest from the business arena so they've been mixed emotions on the trading floors tell us more yes my bets five all those because their reaction has been a mix of applause both positive and negative up was top of the u.s. what we had so reports come out there it's there to take a look at the figures will see that they're going higher and that's despite the fact that one of a point in particular so that consumer confidence declined for us what in the overall in fact is that it's lowest level since january plot at the same time we've got most of the points and that's about homes prices which have climbed higher in fact that their highest. level right now since last also so as you can see i guess

unless there's a. particular data that came out the dow added point two percent and the nasdaq adding about half a percent this hour moving on to europe markets are now closed but were you the closer picture they're basically in a mix as you can see it puts the added point zero seven and the german dax lost by the same and this is that all focusing on this ring of negative news first of all for spanish borrowing costs are going higher because for anybody allowed cyprus has joined in that crowd kondrat asking for a bailout those fresh downgrades by moody's investor service does not help the bond with it get positive news today coming out from germany that consumer confidence is on the rise but as you can see without was reflected in the german dax if you can even say that because they are either just an option all right well moving on to current sees the euro of right now it's still losing to the dollar it's you can say it's flat when it comes to the ruble again against both major currencies this

tuesday moving on to the russia the markets where we saw a completely different picture the more we saw on monday basically both the arts yes and the my six add in the five dollars yes added over two percent and crude prices helped because there stabilizing a little bit now still hovering around low price also about that a little bit later but first there's another story about a company here and i'm talking about boy in particular in that profits major aircraft holding the rockets and wife fall of last year the company says the result was primarily supported by stronger maintenance services and of course employees mostly famous voice as you fly but it also makes this civil superjet one hundred which of course was involved in that crash in indonesia last month where forty five people died during a demonstration flight well earlier we spoke to citigroup absent from boeing and he said that that should in the fact the mad for super jets. i would think that there are a plane 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 all caught on the market says that it's about one thousand eight hundred and airplanes so that the world will need with less than a pound it doesn't get a pass at the jets it's a pretty big business it's about seventy billion dollars business in russia yeah so the whole market is about one falls on the airplanes to both of them deal and dollars and fifteen percent of all whole airplanes needed in russia yes we can oh yeah so it's about them billion dollar market i think from a marketing point of view so floyd made it absolutely right decision and drain the civil aviation market in this nation that we need to double the world. right and this is how business looks this hour by the see a mats all right thank you very much marina for that update coming up shortly we bring you the latest episode of julian assange his show where he talks with two prominent thinkers and philosophers on the state of the modern world stay with us.
