from funds to pressure is. his firm stance on t.v. . international envoy kofi annan comes to moscow for crucial talks with russian leaders on the syria and international deadlock on how to address the bloodshed in the war torn country. america's child support for egypt's new elected islam as president reference to strain its relations with israel as hillary clinton moves from cairo to tell a bit more top level talks and. it would be problems with electricity water supply chain i want to make sure this time with. dad dooms day desperation the austrian with arguably the most pessimistic outlook for the future of living in the euro zone.
12:01 am
russia and around the world this is the with me. thanks for joining us thursday u.n. special envoy kofi annan will seek russia's help in ending the conflict in syria during a two day visit to moscow their talks come at a crucial time as violence and serious pyros and world powers remain deadlocks of the how to resolve the crisis let's now talk to peter all over while nice to see a peace and so what exactly will kofi annan discuss with russia's top officials and what can we expect to come from these meetings. but it's expected that the u.n. peace envoy will discuss with russia how a solution can be found to the ongoing crisis in syria kofi annan has referred to
12:02 am
russia as a major player when it comes to the peace process and is expected to say that russia has a huge role to play if both sides are able to come together and not come. put down their weapons and discuss a diplomatic solution now expected said to love for all of the russian foreign minister to reiterate russia's support for what was discussed in geneva a couple of weeks ago to the international conference on syria that it's both sides that have to put down their weapons if a solution is going to be found now we could also hear some criticism from the foreign minister level towards some of russia's international partners now particularly those western partners that have influence over the syrian opposition said saying that well respected to say that well you know maybe they're all doing enough in order to put pressure on an exit that influence that they have over the syrian opposition to put down their guns now. currently what we're seeing is the u.n. security council vote in deadlock this two resolutions on the table for discussion
12:03 am
one of those put forward by russia that would see the u.n. monitoring program on the ground in syria prolonging the second resolution put forward by western countries says that the assad government has ten days to adhere to what was laid down in kofi annan peace plan otherwise they face action no juice to the fact that this resolution only focuses on the government forces doesn't touch on any of the opposition troops at all would suggest that if this goes to a vote it's extremely likely that russia would use the veto so it's interesting to note though that every time we've seen a major diplomatic meeting whether it be discussion in the u.n. security council or kofi annan coming here to visit moscow to discuss things further we see a spike in violence in the country and we're seeing this right now we've seen fresh terror attacks as well as new fighting close to the capital city of damascus says the crisis in syria continues to exit bloody violence all over the middle eastern
12:04 am
country. one of the peace how many times. the international red cross has a fish. declared the syrian conflict as civil war and that means competence could be up for prosecution for potential war crimes under international law and defense analyst. believes the change in the conflict stages could be used by some foreign powers to sue their interests. it will be interesting to see how far would that go to to be pursue for instance the western powers are going to try to highlight the actions labeled the syrian government. did try to seek is that they show to a prosecutor for work crimes members perhaps of this aurora bitter over the syrian military washita was a change of government that they want through what they call a regime change and therefore they want to either raise any pressure or blame for
12:05 am
everything that could be said against it to try to raise the pressure before russia and china so that it would allow more such perhaps. they just tell us what would you change that's why the opportunity presents itself real or true they are going to accuse the moscow so far we don't. and we're constantly following developments from inside syria and aussies worry if inertially is that i'm posting what she is witnessing on twitter so trying to feed for reactions from the syrian people as well as pictures from this country. is.

12:08 am
culminated in demonstrators throwing to masses shoes and water bottles at her cortez and the port city of alexandria but despite the cold reception by locals the u.s. seems to find common ground with egypt's new islamist leadership something that certainly warring america's long time ally israel as policy explains. high on the agenda is her recent trip to to egypt and her meeting with the egyptian president mohamed morsi it certainly sends out a strong message that washington believes it is important to engage with the new president as early on as possible we need for a mature support there. very clear. for the muslim brotherhood for president. we have no other choice but to speak with . the with and we've begun the united states is certainly trying
12:09 am
to find its way in the region in light of the recent changes of the arab spring but in some respects it's done an almost one hundred eighty degree turn around that in two thousand and five when the even the us secretary of state condoleezza rice went to cairo she emphatically stated that the united states would have nothing to do with the muslim brotherhood certainly the united states is having to find new friends it's abandoning old friends and it's creating new problems and as it forges closer friendships with regimes such as the muslim brotherhood in egypt it needs to calm israeli fears about the changes in the region that are seeing increased muscle flexing of islamised fundamentalist regimes the israelis are so concerned by the situation that recently the israeli defense forces placed and aid of planes system back treat near its border in southern israel with egypt it's worth noting that as the united states moves closer to islamize forces in north africa in the middle east it's almost sitting up its old ally israel by creating more forces that are

hostile to the jewish state policy r.t. tell of of under egypt's new leaders and the country's polarized politics is also the focus of crosstalk coming later on archie and his what a head. there's never been a democracy in egypt before and this is something that has to be played out in a public way with a certain amount of assertion on both sides but i don't think the military is prepared to reassert there has to be some wiggle room which is right now in existence in egypt which allows the two competing to work out some arrangement which will be the basis for an evolutionary process for the market in egypt stevens mostly right but i part ways with him on the argue on the suggestion that this either should or will play out in public and i'm not sure how much control morsi has it's
12:11 am
a matter of fact that as an institution for the first time since the one nine hundred fifty s. the presidency is playing the secondary role to the military in egypt and i'm not even sure that morsi is the one that's making them to negotiate that's doing the back room negotiating for the muslim brotherhood let alone is the one that's going to be representing these various institutional factions these various constitutional offices as they manage the transition and so i'm not sure that we're in the midst of a transition we might be in the midst of a retrenchment i. i . i. america's transcend the mainstream media is at an all time according to a recent gallup opinion poll the growing discontent is opening the door for a different kind of journalism that right if i can i explain. venning goodness

mainstream media is controlled by large corporate interests they're going they're beholden to them but this website is independently financed giving tens of thousands of citizens the freedom to report on topics many news networks are accused of suppressing i think one of the best ways you can judge the state of democracy is in the coach community. and i think if you heard of the situation where the citizens of the country are actually bypassing the mainstream media i think that says a lot of the stage of democracy critics however argue that only properly educated and experienced journalists should be intrusted with understanding the rigors and ethics involved in news reporting but even then. there is no guarantee the public will receive facts this is a prank or justices have struck down the individual mandate in order unconstitutional the direct blow to the president i would say it's

chancellor angela merkel has once again assured the e.u. citizens that the block is on the path to recovery but many europeans aren't convinced and are bracing themselves for economic doomsday reports it seems like a place where the grass is always green and where every cloud has a silver lining but even in these ideal exciting in western austria there are fears of an economic doom as the. last few years has been converting his house into a fully self-sufficient residence and his reasons are purely economic. we got the worst case scenario that we're preparing for is the total collapse of the economy there would be problems with food electricity water supply so i want to make sure we could waste this time when money will be worthless. solar panels a wind turbine an emergency generator he's now producing more than two thirds of
