he starts on t.v. don't. syria's opposition says it will not engage in dialogue with the country's president and hopes moscow will help to bring about a change in the current regime. its diplomacy to build limits after international calls for a new transitional government in syria the opposition convenes here in moscow to try to push for the removal of presence of. emergency aid is being sent to russia's flood ravaged southern region of krasnodar it's well over one hundred seventy people were killed tens of thousands made homeless. by the former boss. gives up a twenty million pound bonus off the resigning but he stood in line for a very tidy payoff. that you'll claim is the big bang because the reward.

as the problem and treat grilling fails to back. it is a pleasure to have you with us here on the today. show live in moscow russia says it is ready to host another meeting of world powers over the continuing violence in syria members of the main syrian opposition alliance are right here in moscow and reiterated their main aim is to oust the current leader bashar al assad with this report the latest report now. no dialogue though with the government of president bashar al assad that was the main message from syria's main opposition group which is convened here on the eve of talks between the head of the syrian national council and the russian foreign minister on wednesday now for with the violence in

syria essentially entering its sixteen months all sides do agree on the need for some sort of a transitional government in syria some sort of a transition in that country the divisions however are over what role if any president bashar al assad should play in this transition now for the s.n.c. again this is the main opposition group for syria there negotiating position there precondition is that assad is removed from power before any negotiations over a new government take place this kind of a demand a precondition for the removal of the syrian president for him from office goes against what was set out in the geneva talks last month which where world powers effectively decided or agreed that syrian factions the syrian people will have to negotiate this kind of process not outside powers based on what we heard from the syrian opposition today it really is unlikely that tehran is going to hold much sway over the situation at least when it comes to the opposition groups the delegate again told reporters that iran was basically accused of supporting the

assad government she said that quote the wrong played a destructive role in syria that have participated in the crimes of the all saud regime that was in the delegates words but this statement of course comes on the heels of kofi on a visit to tehran in hopes of convincing the islamic republic to lend some say to try to use some of its influence to sort of well the violence there but again with this kind of really tough rhetoric against the head of the talks it's really difficult to see how these groups are going to look at iran as a sort of influential ally in any sort of potential peace negotiations are reporting right well commenting on the u.n. envoy visit to iran over the conflict in syria one leading mideast expert says damascus and tehran seem more committed to peace than the opposition and its buckaroos. kofi annan had full cooperation from both governments and they going

along with his plan for negotiations without preconditions the problems he's going to encounter is when he begins talking to the other side because the syrian national council the free syrian army. integrated have made it clear that they will not enter anywhere she will not contemplate any solution without the disappearance of pressure from the same he cannot be a part of the negotiations and they have the united states behind them hillary clinton has been very forthright in her manner of the last couple of weeks you might remember that only a few days ago she told the new so-called friends of syria meeting in paris that russia and china should have to pay a price for staying on the sidelines as she called her well of course what she calls staying off the sidelines of. russia and china blocking any attempt by nature to bomb syria although the fact that iran wasn't invited to the geneva summit last month of this one thing which is that the friends of syria so-called don't want iran to be part of any negotiations and i think the point should be when we look at

the only recent situation that iran should be part of any sense because iran is the regional player as important as egypt as egypt or turkey but the fact is that for reasons of their own the united states in particular but supported by the gulf states and picked by saudi arabia want to totally excluded iran and keep it on the sidelines and this underlines the point that what's happening in syria from their point of view is also about iran it's not just about the future of syria. about an hour and twenty five minutes from now here and the chairman of the foreign affairs committee in russia's lower house of parliament says that washington's support for the syrian rebels simply put doesn't make any sense. but. i don't quite understand how the us can support the armed opposition because these are the same kind of people who blow up american soldiers in afghanistan and iraq the same kind of people who kill nato troops in afghanistan in the same country they're considered enemies of the united state while here they're treated as allies.

this is r.t. still to come for you in this program that have double standards in the middle east saudi arabia may be a leading critic of syria over what it calls repression of the people but the country stands accused of not exactly practicing what it's preaching we've got all the full story for you in just a couple of minutes. southern region of crash nadar is slowly trying to recover after a devastating flood killed over one hundred seventy people on friday night alone humanitarian aid is pouring in from all over the country while volunteer workers travel to the area to help victims get back on their feet. and tells us how people are faced with heroes. panic on the roads of crims traffic jams and crowds of people try to escape the town center it took just a few minutes of rumors of

a second flood to create this live jam in the streets above prince it didn't matter what your priorities said people weren't listening to them they were getting out that was how much fear they felt in the end people returned to their homes but after the worst floods in living memory it's hard for many to stop thinking about that night my husband managed to save me and my baby son it's lucky he was nearby because just seconds after his saved us a huge wave appeared we're not just afraid we're scared to death two days ago we survived the terrible floods we've lost everything we've got nowhere to live we are dying of fear. but as well as fear the floods also brought out acts of great heroism as the waters rose policeman. jumped in his car and started ferrying women and children to safety among them was the title years young daughter. when my little girl was saved i asked her who saved her she said it was

a mr policeman but i don't remember his name she was very kind i want to thank you for your husband's help because without it all of these kids would have died. after saving so many we had just laughed himself was caught by the rising waters and drowned his widow has much to grieve about but she is strengthened by the knowledge that her husband would never have acted any other way i'm sure he wouldn't just pass by someone in trouble it was in his nature i was sure nothing would happen to him because he was very brave very clever and very decisive. stories abound both tragic and heroic of people's attempts to save their own lives and those of others and his family were lies they had to get out it was his eighty five year old grandmother who needed guiding out of the windows to safety he laid planks above the surging water and edged along them with her clinging to him if we fail of these

planks we would have died the water looked like it was boiling outside all sorts of bits of debris even cars were floating around further down the street seventy three year old eve had no family to help but without her neighbors she might not have been in time i was sleeping when the neighbors came in woke me up i looked through my window and there was a sea in front of my house is she there kept growing and growing after surviving the surge by perch on top of a wardrobe he does neighbors returning to and took her out of her waterlogged house and in with their. neighbors here gave me shelter and this neighbors gave me food i'm very grateful to all those who helped me because i am an old person and i am alone from the sacrifices of those who gave everything rather than see other people in danger to the kindness of neighbors in times of great need this community has experienced countless human qualities that will be much needed in the rebuilding of

crims homes and communities tom barton party and artist and has been witnessing the work of volunteers in the aftermath of the devastating disaster he did manage to speak with some of the survivors and those reaching out to help them . these people just arrived from the i.c.c. they were volunteers notice he's also suffered from the flood but not as badly as claims that they brought shovels rubber gloves everything that is needed to clean up the debris and they're helping one of the families living here in the very outskirts of grimm's one of the places where the water was that high as the water and and where the stream was destroying houses was going through them for more ground but other than what we're trying to help older people were doing what they ask as a house nearby fell apart we were helping a seventy two year old owner salvage what was left of his belongings. beside still volunteers and emergency workers there a priest with saw groups of the group of priests from sochi who brought food to

people they talked to everyone they tried to help because besides the cleanup and besides humanitarian aid many people need counseling when i get back with the water here there's food ready for you know borscht soup poor ridge water bread i don't know but when you were i fear that such strong grain could cause a flood when i stood up from the sofa the rugs were floating was it was or should my uncles have rushed to the whole way by that time the level of water which my chest. it was how fido plays no more mostly one thing do you need to count goods you can see it when you still come in handy on even when i'm rebuilding my house course that's delicious. besides the massive cleanup operation that we saw in the streets of claims there is another factor which is very important at this moment with more volunteers arriving people get psychological help they get support the most powerful message of the day that they

are getting is that they are not alone that has. crossed into our region. and there we have all the latest details along with the timeline of the disaster on our web site at artsy toward com. now for more barclays chief executive bob diamond has decided to forego any deferred bonuses which could be worth up to twenty million pounds they were due following his route scuse me following his resignation after the bank's rate rigging scandal but he could still be in for quite a tidy payoff as our correspondent laura smith in london now reports this is all come out as a result of the questioning today of marcus agius who's the barclays chairman it's been reported that m.p.'s on the treasury select committee have given him a relatively tough time he says he deeply regrets what's happened at barclays and he's truly story and during the course of his evidence it came out that bob diamond is indeed going to give up his twenty million pounds bonus now he's only going to

take his salary and his pension allowance and that amounts to a grand total of two million pounds i mean to say that again two million pounds that's three point one million dollars that he gets despite the fact that he has had to resign because the bank's board you have lost confidence in him obviously that is a great deal of money by anybody's measure no this inquiry is all about finding out who knew what this lowballing of libel rates what barclays was doing was essentially submitting lower rates for lending money to other banks to make the bank appear stronger than it actually was during the banking crisis the inquiry is aimed at finding who was involved at barclays did the bank of england earlier in the week we heard paul tucker who's the deputy governor of the bank of england saying no but a string of e-mails suggests otherwise it's just certainly a certain amount of complicity between the bank of england and bankers and in turn civil servants we've seen earlier this week

a key participant in bob diamond's cross-examination by the treasury select committee saying that m.p.'s are powerless to go. to the truth of what actually happened and said that she thought it was fair to call the investigation useless she says they've got no information to go on m.p.'s they've got no transcript of what's been happening at morning meetings or none of that kind of information hardly any email trail all they've got to go on is regulator reports and what's being reported in the media so that's going to raise a lot of questions about whether we'll actually know whatever what happens during this banking scandal and who knew what but of course the question on everyone's lips is if m.p.'s can't get to the bottom of what actually happens then who will. he's laura smith reporting what are still ahead for you this hour here on r.t. from the british banking crisis to that of the european debt crisis. why many and germany are saying that all heroes are not created equal when it comes to fair competition within the single currency zone. some of them is high

after the parliament agreed to the final details of the membership contracts although it may not be beneficial immediately join me in the business predicting that in about five minutes time a happy camper. and it will be getting beyond the world updates soon for now though at least two people have been killed when saudi police opened fire on the regime demonstrators the protest followed the arrest of a problem shiite cleric and government on sunday the shia minority claims it's being persecuted in saudi arabia something your forty's deny political analyst professor at you but he believes riyadh is simply contradicting its own ideology. well so there a.b. is not only supplying arms it's also financing the western backed insurgency in syria and it has its long arm playing games in other places including lebanon and several countries in the gulf as well so the policy in general is

extremely supportive of western aims especially in the games in the homeland i think it's really funny that they should speak of his so-called dictatorship in syria when you know if we apply the same measures to so the. elections or having different political parties or a free press or you name up there we find that so that. far behind syria and many other countries in the region. you're watching r.t. a german court is set to rule on whether the eurozone as a last resort bailout fund designed to safeguard the euro is constitutional opponents of the fund say the plan threatens the rights of german citizens by giving brussels the power to spend their money meanwhile many worry that inequality is among the e.u. nations may lead to the currencies down for an ox on a boy now reports. not taking from others and not giving your own that's what

made this company grow from a small soap shop a century ago into a multi-million euro business nowadays to him iranian company is of course different from running a country or a union of countries but all require fiscal discipline but. before we do anything there should be unified school and economic policy it is not acceptable that spain subsidizes things that are not subsidized in germany and it does it in our common experience trading all across europe mr is in favor of keeping the euro what he doesn't agree with is that common currency should necessarily mean diluted responsibility in mind often forget the land i think countries like spain or greece use the euro in quite opportunist ways they used to pay eight or nine percent interest rates before joining the euro but after they came on board they got access

to low rates that germany or france enjoyed encouraged exuberance spending and they have to deal with it he said to many experts this day car to me is the decor of the current euro crisis professor real him hankered one of the first and most prominent euro skeptics says europe's common currency takes away a crucial element of the free market system that is fair competition. the common market started as a very liberal project and now says liberal project is becoming a very socialistic. former soviet union common currency mean says the competition between currencies. common deaths means. responsibility for your own debts so in russia for instance. but in europe it's coming. or spirit. i see your crisis but i

think. in the. soviet union the socialist a concept cannot survive a year in germany and here in greece it may look exactly the same but the underlying productivity is drastically different the introduction of the common currency may have promised greeks the same living standards as in germany but didn't make them work just as effectively you cannot compare the infrastructure to vittie of agrees of a. guy with a german guy i mean we're working until we drop in germany the euro two of the central planning close to commoners the same system that we had before nine hundred eighty nine in the east it has nothing to do with the free market has nothing to do with capitalist because entities countries and banks cannot go bankrupt any more

germany may have a generous social system but even here de dios being a constant provider of subsidies for the rest of europe doesn't sit well with the majority germany has a unique experience of dealing with both capitalist and socialist systems and while domestically this country is all for fair competition and self-reliance in a larger european context it's pushed to choose between being and nanny and daddy state accident or car three reporting from germany. meanwhile the euro zone's preparing to pump thirty billion euro into spanish banks by the end of the month with madrid expected to get a further years grace to cut its budget deficit down to three percent meanwhile the british and french leaders have met in london to discuss the ongoing euro zone debt crisis david cameron said that action agreed at the recent summit needs to be taken immediately with both men voicing backing for the plans for a banking union under european central bank super. said that the two countries have

a common interesting growth and recovery are the leaders of economic issues in the past with cameron calling for budget restraint. pushing for more public spending it's the french president's first visit to britain since taking office two months and. are starting with egypt let's get to the r.t. world update for you now it's where the parliament been for a session despite being ordered by the military to dissolve it was elected earlier this year after the country's first general election since the revolution but was banned by the supreme court in cairo last month the parliament met in defiance of the ruling after a call from the new president mohamed morsi it is the latest confrontation between the new leader and the military amid rising political tensions. newly enforced u.s. sanctions on iran have forced the country to shut down oil wells cutting production to its lowest levels in two decades and the move is likely to mean

a loss of billions of dollars in revenue to tehran a senior iranian official does say though that a private oil export group has been set up to try to bypass a european ban on buying the country's oil the sanctions are intended to put pressure on iran over its nuclear program with the west suspecting it's trying to build nuclear weapons switched to iran continues to deny. a rebel advance has forced residents to flee their homes in the eastern democratic republic of congo panic has increased after the evacuation of the un and independent aid agencies fighting between rebels and the congolese army has flared up since april ending a two year peace with some two hundred thousand people being displaced and there are fears the conflict could drag the country into yet another cycle of violence. off the k.t. we go there to see you again i understand of the trading floors here in moscow rejoicing as they are in david. some happy chaps actually because they have

demonstrated their patients nearly nineteen years in the running for the w t o x session and it looks like we've got pen to paper eventually have got some policy papa's top ten so more details on that but later on first say let's get over the atlantic and get over to wall street and see how the sorts of filming and it's fair to say that the struggling a full direction this chews day not sure which way to go in a little says a really adding to the the recession's that we've seen in declines particularly in the technology sector which is tempering optimism with the european officials taking steps to protect spanish banks as you mentioned just so for rate so with that in mind let's go over to europe and see how they're performing in the second part of the day really rearing towards the end today we saw some optimism very much about three days from britain and italy also helping to boost the u.s.

is going to add to the exchange rates for those globetrotters the. common currency is have a struggling session one twenty two fifty. for the ruble this is how it closed up today to get the u.s. dollar out of the european a currency in today's session as far as the russian markets are concerned the. does rather well today as i say there was an optimism in the air they stayed involved the waterline and it's a big day for the parliament has approved russia's w t membership although the government says the entry losses could reach thirteen billion dollars but could lower due to the growing foreign try that's what everyone's hoping for another issue banks are suffering is of all the lies whose lives will get a look at a immediately have a listen. the exports. are chemicals to some degree and part of the reason there is that these are precisely the searchers the bulk of anti-dumping duties against russian producers is

concentrated. in the w t o it will have the benefit of countering foreign protectionism and accordingly russian producers and actors in steel and chemicals will be able to bypass foreign protectionism to overcome a and to export more of their goods abroad. and stay with us i guess they were growing as it meets investors in europe on the states the gas major is raising money to develop the arctic and the g expiration of the region is expected to cost hundreds of billions of dollars now not even the oil prices could dampen the mood here in moscow today as they say all the color line and we have the situation in norway this week the strike is now so they have continued their production they are western europe's biggest exporter of the commodity now been talking about the eurozone debt problems but it's not necessarily bad news for everyone because there

seems to be some buying opportunities in the e.u. now we spoke to the russian railways boss about on the topic so here's what he had to say. we are in negotiations with a representative of greece to consider the possible that all of us that always in the processes of privatization in greece be also interested in a position of some firms in the field of the just because we need to sort of experts if you are talking about the global corridos we need this expertise even more i can say that we are interested in privatization the interested in developing our collaboration with the forum that always in terms of increasing earnings of russia where we company i care about the business but i have you want more details on the w.t. access and get to the websites plenty that was a pleasure thank you just
