please. not just diplomacy with common decency russia's top diplomat slams us right that moscow will pay the price for the syrian rats and accuse its foreign powers of blackmail over u.n. action against a mascot. a wave of mass social unrest sweeping israel after a man sets himself on fire to protest the prime minister's policies he claims are quote robbing the people. and football is the new man at the top that england supreme hello is confirmed as russia's head coach.

you're watching live from the russian capital where it's four pm our top story and moscow says it's under arm twisting tactics from foreign partners who want to push through a u.n. resolution on syria which could allow the use of external force the words now from the foreign minister and analysis from our chief peter oliver. unfortunately we've even seen some elements of blackmail i consider it talks only counterproductive and dangerous approved because it is unacceptable to use the observers as a bargaining chip but its. largest greater all over has been after that conference heard the words from the foreign minister p. what kind of bargain is talking about here. well what russia wants to see is the extension of the u.n. monitoring program on the ground in syria now they proposed a resolution to the u.n.

security council which says just the us know some of russia's foreign partners have come forward and said yes we'll vote for your resolution if you vote no the second resolution is being put put forward by country. such as the united states and great britain now the wording of this second resolution is open to interpretation it could see foreign military intervention in syria now this is something that russia have always been against they don't want to see any foreign military intervention because they don't want to see the situation in syria turn out the same way as the situation in libya prompting sergei lavrov to say that well russia feels blackmails let's go back to comments that were made a little while ago by the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton in which she said china and russia were to blame for the ongoing conflict in syria saying that essentially they had blood on their hands and would have to pay a price no foreign minister lover of reacting well less than pleased he could say to those comments saying that this wasn't the way that the plane was he should be

done to negotiate some acceptable to blame it all on russia and china and especially to resort to threats like they will pay for this which is beyond not just diplomacy rules but any common decency so far it's the syrian people who are for the unwillingness of some of our foreign partners to observe the u.n. security council decisions. well those syrian people it's a lover of mentioned they all the ones that russia wants to see decide the future of the country there have been claims that russia is supporting the assad government these were dismissed out of hand by sergey lavrov a business trip with us and they tell us that we need to convince asad to step down voluntarily that is simply unrealistic but this is not about our preferences likes or dislikes he will not step down not because we came up but because he has the support of a significant part of the country's population. foreign minister lover of the

russia's stall when it comes to the crisis in syria all of this of course coming as kofi annan is in the midst of his all important visit to moscow to discuss the future of the conflict ridden middle eastern country. peter overby reporting there from central moscow now still to come here on our t.v. as people turn their back on their own mainstream media an increasing number of americans are taking the news into their own nouns find out why the building trend has us now were wary. and doomsday fears are spreading across europe are to meet an austrian so certain of the euro zone mines that he's already sucking up on fuel and food. but first more oil has been poured on the fire of the israeli social protest mass rallies marking the movement's first anniversary have been spurred on by an act of self immolation

thousands of people have gathered in the streets as our poll of reports what we see now is the whole issue of economic and social concerns been back in the mainstream israeli discourse and this comes in light of the anniversary protests held this past weekend of around the country marking those social protests that were held in the summer months of last june if you remember those demonstrations the largest number of israelis in this country's history take to the streets of this country now the protests climax on a saturday night when an israeli form a small businessman saved himself on fire he's currently fighting for his life is in critical condition and he's suffering from a second and food degree burns the sense that he did this because the israeli government was literally robbing him of his livelihood and his future now since saturday there have been some the deputy protests held around the country on sunday these two thousand people took to. streets of a major highway here in tel aviv in jerusalem there were clashes between protesters

and police in front of the prime minister's residence and what we're seeing from organizers of these demonstrations is a hope that this incident has injected a new anger and a new passion that will mobilize israelis back onto the streets these protests also have a throwback to the occupy wall street demonstrations we saw last year at that time they were slogans similar being valued across here in israel people calling these demonstrations occupy his role as indeed the anger and frustration at the government and the fact that it's done so difficult since last year to address real social concerns as that anger grows people making a parallel between what happened here and as well with this man moshe solomon sitting in stop and light with the street vendor who set himself on fire back in december two thousand and ten the netanyahu government following those this demonstrations last who did sit up a committee to investigate but most israelis feel that it has done little to precious to nothing to actually address the concerns the justification by the

government has been that it has no prison concerns such as that of a nuclear iran the question of ongoing violence in syria to to to to address what many people here feel that this is merely an excuse not to put attention on the very real concerns at the same time there's also the feeling here talking to protest organizers that these demonstrations could move from economic protests to political considerations there is of course the arab spring which never quite moved into its role over the rambling here and sit in today's newspapers and some opinion columns you hear coming to say that perhaps this could be the spark that will see the arab revolution finally be firmly implanted cells in israeli society. but israel is the latest like of a negotiation tour by the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton where the jewish straits times with trouble egypt top talks the post-election build. well standoff in cairo is also up for

discussion in cross talk coming up later today here in archie here's a preview. 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 transition i mean we're talking about a country that hasn't had the markers to and thousands of years they had successfully elections that they had to say 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. press protests have flared in bahrain despite the ruling monarchies declaration that all forms of public demonstrations are now banned in the latest clashes police and troops fired rubber bullets and tear gas at demonstrators the police response was immediate with hundreds of raids on homes of suspected protesters and dozens arrest we're now on the crisis in bahrain with. more. say was a leading figure of. bahrain's largest opposition party thank you for being with us on the line it's still early why do you think the government spends on protest what babs will achieve i should say. the government is just making it. too busy discussing whether this is. the phone doesn't want to show and

some of them so i can answer out of the spam which is the mass the ministration and they think that by banning but this. this is their way of cornwall just to isolate but and from what's happening in the beaches. and this is not that school history he is but i mean one thing to have bought this is in the system to have only just looked. at this and by the people so the policy making it spot though that this is not at all employment is an independent judicial oath that it's the to provide justice an inclusive security this is. political system and a system and they compass get it all dealt with it is to themselves the country is started by a single family a minority within the community it's not sectarian it's related to the rulers who

want to diminish the thing not so people from sydney can be in the community and frustrated with this routine because an absolute rule is being there. and the people peacefully wanting to change this political system but. is this tense because of the lawyer in the seventy's because of the alliances what do you see is the kind of b.s. because the alliance is looking at the national community. erupted in and tunisia and egypt this plea at some sort of inspired action to the many people but have not created the new demand only people that demands with their hundred years that well known ninety years ago specifically so this is this is the theme that they want to. has. seen that this is. not part of the going well unlike a lot of the countries that were part of the arab spring tunisia egypt not so much

coverage are seeing on bahrain nevertheless there are reports of continuing mass arrests and torture tell us how widespread is this now months i might add after the government itself admitted and promised to put a halt to them during the last year of the. massive. hundreds of thousands and after the march to. known and to the nth monch last year the security and the aadmi thought what the engagement. they thought they would. know march this year. but this does massive but this does get to this week with hundreds or thousands and eighteen march hundreds so close and. and. you might not see the hundreds or thousands but i can assure you that all of that although there will be had to be think that this tweet this fight this this is this

is happening because not because the people want to end it there and then still in this because that are listed at the amounts that they want to be the both the source of all of these will that it is an exhibit that both of them are just the. people. not because they want to and that they're in with democracy models but they want to have security they want to have justice you don't want to have as you say hundreds of thousands out on the streets in the country yet we hear very little about it i just want to make sure we touch on this bahrain of course a strong backer of the rebellion in syria which syria which we hear about every day at home in the country enthusiasm obviously for democracy seems to be nonexistent at least from what you're telling us why such an apparent double standard and why is no one calling them out. but as the search all g.c.c.

countries there are no search. to the democracy anywhere if they are supporting the cause and see the law supporting the syrian people and the syrian people should understand this their last thing. in syria they are just part of a political game. within the region no not saying that the syrian people have no cause i'm not saying that the syrian people have. the look at us and we don't support them differently we support them diffidently well out against the killing all the syrian people but another of the g.c.c. countries governments and author of the. democracy in syria. the syrian people they are losing again they want to implement new mother lives and own democracy they should. please then they should be clear and.

we're going to have to leave it there thank you very much for your comments for us on the line marzouk leading figure of bahrain's largest opposition party thanks for that. well in other news former england manager family of capello has been named russia's national football coach it's been confirmed by the country's football federation although the details of his contract are yet to be finalized our very own andrew farmer from r.t. sport has more on the move. fabio capello a massive name in football famous for leading england for the last four years he did step down from there after falling out with the english f.a. but i mean apart from his success of getting them to the euros he did it all to get them to the world cup in two thousand and ten not a successful campaign that has to be said that was part of the reason he went but he comes with a great track record before he took over england he won the champions league he also won league titles in. and also in spain with major clubs there so he's

a big fish in the footballing world and he when he was. in charge of england he did in around about six million pounds a year and it was thought in the media that if anyone could perhaps compete with that sort of salary would be the russians were not sure what his salary would be but they have said in the build up to this that he would be a man that would be prepared to stay and work in russia which is something big africa and the guus hiddink the manager before him didn't do so. well you can find out more on all our stories that are t. dot com here's a taste of what's there for you now tommy powered merchant ships given the go ahead by iranian lawmakers a midwestern it's a cover for developing. and a brand new world class racetrack opens its doors in the moscow region with hopes it could hold formula one races in the future.

by it and bungle reporting on u.s. news networks are behind plumbing audience numbers according to one influential opinion poll or just reported i a look at a cutting edge project that's encouraging ordinary americans to drive their country's news agenda. goodness statics round 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 to. 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's that journalist and best selling author and i only will 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 and

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 estate fails to i think the mainstream media has become about entertainment. and also concerned who. 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 the state of democracy is in how they and i think if you kind of a situation where the citizens of the country are actually bypassing the mainstream

media i think that says a lot about 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 the supreme court justices have struck down the individual mandate for the unconstitutional the direct blow to the president i would say it's a direct blow to his democratic party the individual mandate has been struck down it has been struck down no it has not. stopped. there was mass media still maintain some stronger and wider reach that citizen journalism but it no longer holds the power to determine what the public is to be doing or even reporting about very important party we are. looking now at some of

the stories making international headlines this monday thousands have gathered in the japanese capital to manage the country abandoned nuclear power ahead of the restart of the second reactor of japan's plants were shut down for safety inspections after an earthquake and tsunami triggered by mysterious focusing meant disaster last month saw the first reactor turn back on the country's prime minister says some atomic energy must be reintroduced sustain an adequate power. supply. gunmen have attacked a security force is agency in northwest pakistan killing at least one officer and taking several hostages the taliban have claimed responsibility for the attack which happened just outside a militant stronghold near the border of afghanistan government facilities in the city our regular target in april taliban fighters broke into a prison freeing almost four hundred inmates. now if many euro saving projects are

merging and failing the public are getting more and more disillusioned with their leaders attempt to deliver solutions on a boycott talked to one austrian who believes people should save their own so again . it seems like a place where the grass is always green and where every cloud has a silver lining but even in this ideal exciting in western australia there are fears of an economic doom as they. could last few years has been converting his house into a fully self-sufficient residence and his reasons a purely economic influence on account of the got the worst case scenario 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 wind turbine and emergency generator he's now producing more than two thirds of the power he needs the cows in the garden should

provide a backup if supermarkets. and in case of fuel shortages there's also a rail turn in chief. while this scenario may seem to apocalyptic the hillbillies the euro collapse and the ensuing social upheaval is a matter of when rather than if the bull. politicians keep talking about decreasing debts but what they do is just to prove. that a new new steps no new solutions and what to do about this whole situation the rude awakening is coming we all hope to postpone it but eventually it will come and. still he asked us to change his name and not to give out his address out of concern that in case of the total collapse his europe proved refuge will be inundated by the angry and the hungry the fears are not entirely foreign to many europeans especially of an older generation base part of their war peers to be riden their

forefront of the cold war and preparing for the worst was part of the government's contingency plans but the idea that calamity may come from them in europe rather than outside is relatively new and therefore all the more frightening after decades of increasing crisp aerate the thought of losing basic comforts is still rather hard to take in for many northern europeans but on the other hand a few years ago their southern neighbors couldn't imagine that soup kitchens would become so popular in greece or that food aid would be in such demand in spain some people say the gold care for the government. i'm responsible for myself let's see about fifty percent of the. citizens may think in this way. but the majority will say no government we pay our taxes and so for we expect that we get. supplied by the government while the initial enthusiasm behind the euro project was

at least partially based on the rx to reach esteem an increasing number of europeans are now fearing the opposite transition of weaker artsy reporting from western austria. later this hour we speak to an influential british businessman who's offering a big prize for anyone who can solve the euro crisis that's coming up after business let's not check in with katie after this and there's a new twist in the corporate battle for russia's third largest oil firm to you in k b p they're always in the headlines. we're always talking about it was. now the russian billionaire as they own halls of the anglo russian tain k.b. pay and they're ready to sell their stake to their partner be paid now they want cash and ten percent of b.p. stock in return a move that will put an end to a bitter conflict in our shareholder relationships between b.p. and its russian partners called broke down last year and i've been trying to reach

a strategic alliance with the state but the deal was brought by all the full out left the company without a board quorum of b.p. put it up for sale at the start of. the situation at the moment i move it on russia has set vicious goal of significantly improving its business climate now the world bank currently rates russia as number one hundred twenty in terms of its conditions for doing business is got singapore hong kong new zealand and the united states in the top four now president person has said that russia should do whatever it takes to make it into the top twenty within its six. investment consultants raisins cup so they came out with a step by step plan for each even this go and that after she explains. luckily russia doesn't need to apply superhuman efforts to attract investors based on the analysis if it continues reforming areas that the world bank focuses on and surveyed the results should exceed expectations now here are the five simple steps

to outperform the others and jump up the raising. to public policy of starting a business step two to improve the judicial system step three getting the business built now in order to do that you need to do with destruction permits to get hooked up to the electricity and register the property step for cutting the taxes and simplifying payments step five helping companies to trade and protecting investors now cross border trading in russia is not easy for each day for example it takes to export out of canada it takes a week in russia and overall cutting red tape and paperwork would certainly make investment climate in russia warmer and doing business in russia much easier. ok heading on to the european markets and let's see how they're before me i'm over by pretty flat really close to between gains and losses all day and as you can see

there just ever society flat to negative really is great to see that as we see how the common currency is performing staying with europe for now now the recovery of the euro gets dollar last week is actually proving to be pretty short lived really concerns about the extent of private sector investment in the spanish aid is really way down on both the european market and the common currency so have a look at the year i now will also check out the russian currency to see how the ruble is performing. for the russian market as well to look at here in moscow just to let really it's a negative territory as you can see it just as we head into the height of the summer season investors are again focusing on the hope the policymakers will soon respond to the evidence of declining growth and rising rates could they really stimulus that's what investors want right now let's check out these stocks and if we may put up time we can see the m.k. is still managing to rise over ten percent now i was going to mix performance by just it is negative territory lou call up half

a percent just now and that's how the business loads of it back in about fifty minutes for you statins are t. the headlines are coming out for your. coverage that shimmers to maybe you should read. more when you image interim revolution the intense fire instead of getting a democratically elected president against entrenched military is probably right. and the. flying machine.
