arguably the most pessimistic outlook for the future of living in the usa. and then the business bulletin despite the expectations of the contrary with the russian markets opened with losses and they're continuing their downward spiral in the second hour of trade for all of the details join me in about twenty minutes. news from russia and around the world this is the with me. thanks for joining us u.n. special envoy kofi annan is seeking russia's help in ending the conflict in syria during a two day visit to moscow they told come at a crucial time as violence and serious pyros on the world powers remain deadlocked over how to resolve the crisis petone of attacks at the start. kofi annan is in

moscow as he steps up his campaign for peace in syria as bloodshed continues to rage across the country now kofi annan has long said that russia is a major player in the peace process but we're expected to hear from a russian foreign minister sergei lavrov a little later roland where he will reiterate russia's support for was discussed in geneva a couple of weeks ago that would see both sides of the conflict both the syrian government troops on the opposition forces lay down their weapons and come to the table for talks so we could also hear some criticism from such a gale of rolf leveled at some of russia's international partners in the peace process particularly those west involvements that have influence over the opposition russia doesn't think this is western policy doing enough to put pressure on the opposition to put down their weapons now currently we're seeing the u.n. security council in deadlock those two resolutions on the table that could be voted

on one of those was put forward by russia and we would see an extension of the u.n. monitoring program on the ground in syria the the second of those resolutions put forward by western countries and would focus on assad only and on the assad government saying that they have ten days in which to adhere to the kofi annan peace plan otherwise action would be taken now since that's resolution only focuses on one side which is something that russia said can't be done it's extremely likely and almost definite in fact that if thought goes to a vote russia will use their veto so it's interesting to note though that every time we've seen one of these major diplomatic meetings b.s.f. the security council photo kofi annan coming here to moscow we see a spike in violence on the ground in syria this time no different we're seeing fresh fighting a close to the capital damascus and it just seems that every time as long as the foreign powers calm to greet all and

a solution to how to tackle syria how to go forward on syria it's the syrian people that continue to pay the price in blood. international red cross has officially declared this syrian conflict a civil war that means compton's could be out for prosecution for potential war crimes under international law and defense analyst ally also shows need believes the change in the conflict status could big used by some foreign powers to stay interest. it will be interesting to see how far would that go to to be pursue. the western powers are going to try to highlight the label of this current government. then try to seek it i think they should to a prosecutor for war crimes members perhaps of the. military washita was a change of government that they want to be what they call a regime change and therefore they want to raise any pressure or blame for

overseeing 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 but that's why the opportunity to present real or true they are going to accuse the. following developments from inside syria. is that posting that she is witnessing on twitter feed from reactions from across a mass size. is to. believe.

the u.s. secretary of state as a naser owe the final destination of her age nation talk of europe and asia and the middle east hillary clinton's visit comes on the heels of a trip to egypt where she held talks with buzz the new the elected president and on forces chief clinton's egypt's very small by ten american protests have culminated

in demonstrators throwing tomatoes shoes and a lot of bottles at her contention in the forces here of aleck's ondrea 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 last policy experts. high on the agenda is her recent trip to egypt and her meeting there 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 they need from initial support their. very clear figure for. for the muslim brotherhood for president morsi aware of not their choice but to speak with. the west and we've got the united states is certainly trying to find its way your

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 back in two thousand and five when the even the u.s. secretary of state condoleezza rice went to cairo in fact he said that the united states would have nothing to do with the muslim brotherhood certainly the united states is having to find new frames 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 i am done aid of claims 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 and the middle east it's almost certain up its old

ally israel by creating more forces that are hostile to the jewish state policy r.t. tell of of. egypt's new leaders and the country is polarized politics is also the focus of crosstalk coming later this hour here in r.c. and he is also ahead. what's the point of having elections if you're elected and you can sit in your position of power what's the point of having elections. but you know we're in a situation in transition i mean we're talking about a country that hasn't had the markers to thousands of years they had successful elections they had to use a lot of going around that's going on right now it's part of the process obviously it may fail i mean we know that but but if if we go if we play it out in sequence when it's likely. it's likely to as a foundation for this process then there are possibilities that it can succeed and there has to be negotiations between the military and president morsi stephen

thinks that what we're watching is a transition is a muddy transition where people are stumbling around making mistakes and having teaching moments that though them grow from 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 trust in the mainstream media is at an all time courting to rescind opinion poll the growing discontent is opening the door for a different kind of journalism in a partner and i'll explain. running good a statics around the clock operations a product always being exported america's mainstream news industry generates power and profits but it seems partisan reporting and frequent gaffes may have made many

americans turn away from the big broadcasters when they are. writing the revolution going our across. and going. home to getting the work that program where are our recent gallup poll shows an all time low of only twenty percent of the public trusting the news many say this means citizen journalism is becoming a big game changer and the amazing thing about training citizens to be really good pundits is that they they have a wealth of information that journalists just don't have when you help them connect what they know are exposed to their experience with a big picture. political event it's very powerful what that journalist and best selling author and i only wolf not only supports citizen journalism she and business partner lisa thomas have built a nonpartisan training ground for it it's called daily klout dot com we're not just

teaching people to vent we're training people to write rigorous shapely opinion pieces which are eight hundred words long and also to source their assertions we also teach them how to link what they're exposing are calling for with action steps. daily klout also features a legislative search engine that monitors and explains bills making their way to capitol hill a tool allowing everyday people to hold federal state and corporate leaders accountable when america's fourth state fails to i think the mainstream media has become about entertainment. and also. who holds the purse strings if the 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 a state of democracy is an approach media hates 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 there's a premature justices have struck down the individual mandate in order unconstitutional the direct blow to the president out of states a direct blow to his democratic party the individual mandate has been struck down it has been struck down no it has no. shock i knew. i was mass media still maintains i'm stronger and wider reach that citizen

journalism but it no longer holds the power to determine what the public is good baby doing or even reporting about growing up or not artsy new york turns out she always has the full story on the news the others might miss home i need someone with coffee that right now tokyo to take to japan prepare as an emergency to talk about precaution against possible future disasters. that rain kicks out of filmmaker and human rights activists are trying to capture the crocodiles on camera all the details available for you right now i talked to you know. so for assistance a new job the rates of. the rates of leukemia for example a thirty eight times. breast cancers more than ten times chose cancers fourteen times i would forget the exact duces bullish huge numbers
