heavy clashes across syria as rebels seized border crossings while the un sees a double veto from russia and china to block the use of force against the assad regime. and here in damascus ought to crew has money students in the city neighborhoods for the clashes between the army and rebels have been continuing for five days what we saw just a had. angry crowds are met with rubber bullets and tear gas in spain as the public events frustrate the country's policy of more cuts in return for bank rescue by the e.u. . also name and blame israel now accuses iran is our ally hezbollah of the talking israeli tourists in bulgaria and killing six people.

and welcome to our tea where we bring you the latest twenty four hours a day seven days a week on screen and online while fierce clashes continue across syria as rebels have managed to seize border crossings to a rock and one into turkey opposition fighters are now trying to build on the momentum gained by advances near the capital and wednesday's bomb attack that killed top syrian military officials artie's more if a national has the details. free syrian army soldiers are now controlling all four border crossings at the syrian iraqi border but the top official has also said that the iraqi guards have witnessed. from the side of free syrian army soldiers

from opposition fighters we also been able to see the to posted on you tube from the syrian turkish border where gunmen have been shouting religious slogans and shooting bashar al assad's portrays a free syrian army has been able to take control over crossings at the border means that they they are very determined in large scale operation against regime of president bashar al assad but that doesn't necessarily mean that they still keep in this control because everything changes very fast we've been here on the ground for almost fifty days already and i have to say what we've been able to see in the last five days has been the most dramatic moment for the syrian capital by the clashes between the army and the rubbles have been taking place in the least five districts over mask and it's pretty extremely difficult to get in side these districts but on thursday we finally managed to do that and what we saw really devastating destroyed

streets abandoned houses no people of variously and many many traces of war and of very fierce clashes we've even seen many tracks of tanks and not totally on the roads but on what used to be the cars obviously all shops are closed and we have to understand that these districts are not remote. damascus it's not far from the center of the city center we've been here for one the month now and we've been to these districts many times. by and something talking to people and of course it's been very sad. to see how different the picture is right now people are trying to deal with this situation and we are in a maze how brave they are in this situation facing horror of war that has come to their home they say yes we know it is happening right now here in damascus and in

our country it's been here for seventeen months already but we cannot do anything with these and life has to go on and we have to leave so they're trying to do with this is just waiting for this nightmare to end this is what they say. the u.n. security council has agreed to disagree on syria russia and china have vetoed another attempt by western states to push for a resolution threatening sanctions and use of force against the assad regime now the extension of the u.n. observer mission in syria is at stake as are. reports russia has said for from the get go that he would not support any resolutions on syria that would include the potential of sanctions being imposed or even military intervention this western backed resolution that was drafted by the u.k. called on damascus to immediately seize any kind of fighting and the use of

heavy weapons and with the drop from populated centers and the resolution gave the syrian government ten days to comply with those demands otherwise sanctions would be imposed. what was attached to that draft resolution is a forty five day extension of the u.n. supervision mission in syria so that is quite clear why russia would not give its support to this western backed resolution because it was putting all the pressure and consequence on the syrian government and not putting any pressure a consequence on the armed opposition that are part that's participating in the violence in syria that has been increasing as we've seen over the past seventeen months the russian ambassador to the united nations vitaly churkin did address the media saying that there is still a time for the security council to reach a consensus but he said that russia would not support any moves or paths for military intervention into syria and he also warned that western countries may be

trying to destabilize syria to possibly of move further in and around iran the strategy of well or worst i'm going to do seems to be. on their own soon. every opportunity and this time the agent of the need to extend the mandate of the monitoring mission in syria and a number of unacceptable clauses oer concerns is that the syrian people have to suffer the consequences of this geopolitical geopolitical struggle the clock is ticking because if this mandate expires and it is not renewed then that means that the united nations would not have any force in syria that is verifying what is taking place on the ground what you came to the un said is that they have drafted britain has drafted a new resolution that was over the u.n. mission in syria for

a final thirty days and that is something which the security council is considering but according to the turkish there are still very many questions surrounding this new drama that has been proposed by britain the british draft is in many ways. because it has only two q. but that it goes on they contradict each other the first but are going to says that it's the final extension of thirty days and the second paragraph says that the mission can be extended provided certain conditions are being made and the united nations at the end of the day does need a mission in the ground because if that mission is removed then the situation in syria can get worse without any objective reporting that's tied to the u.n. and an exclusive interview with r.t. russia's ambassador to the u.n. that explained why the countries said no to the western backed resolution in the crucial vote on syria you can catch that interview in the next hour right here on this channel now professor lawrence davidson from west chester university and the

u.s. says that if international if the international community really wants to stop violence in syria it has to put pressure on those sponsoring the rebels. this u.n. resolution was something of a red herring. because it wouldn't have made much difference on the ground the british ambassador to the u.n. made his statement that. the resolution would have helped save lives i think this is just utter fantasy i think from the american standpoint why into being openly when it's possible that the regime might fall not just through clandestine intervention in direct intervention and if the british and the americans and the french want to save lives all they have to do is put pressure on the saudis and qataris and others to stop running guns into this area and tell you how the rebel

that as lawrence davidson hester a professor at west chester university in the u.s. . the angry protesters were met with tear gas and rubber bullets all in spanish streets as they marched against a more planned austerity a number of people were injured and many detained clashes followed massive peaceful demonstrations which were joined by hundreds of thousands of people across spain the crowds are furious that public spending is once again being slashed and response to rescuing the banks the german parliament gave the green light for the one hundred billion euro bailout on thursday and current affairs journalist charlie mcgrath says the european governments are betraying their people. in europe just like the rest of the world you know what the western world we have a system that is putting the onerous fraudulent debt of a bunch of private institutions on the back of the people now they're calling it

austerity and then a lot of people are you know they're completely frustrated they have nowhere else to turn and a lot of the signs even say we have nothing else that we can do other than take to the streets there is no representative government where there are there happens to be politicians that want to stand up on behalf of the people you know we have the european community deposing them and installing their own technocrats so you know the heavy handed tactics you know bought and paid for security that's going to go out and quell the rabble if the government decided to do the right thing by the people of the country i think there would be understanding that we're going to all go through the west the united states europe the entire planet is going to go through some tough economic times but when you have politicians going forward and saying well you know what we're going to take more of your financial future so we can give it to a bunch of banks you know there's going to be reaching a limit of understanding by the citizenry of the world almost six million people in spain are out of a job struggling to find the means to support themselves and their families some

are seeking a better life beyond the borders of their country about it looks like they might have to go further afield than neighboring euro zone states artists are silly or has the story. twenty four point six million people are without jobs across the european union seventeen point four million of them in the euro zone countries with unemployment at its highest level since the single currency was introduced in spain unemployment hit twenty four point three percent the worst rate in the e.u. and among the spanish and greek youth it's more than half. statistics may paint the big picture but they don't quite show the human story real people struggling through each day like this one gary a man who came to belgium three months ago that's taping in a street and then i never did before so it's really really hard to separate you know i don't want b.b.c. three of them mean i don't want i don't i don't want me being you know is that.

i want to work i want to go to. the current levels of unemployment on acceptable. it's if you do it simply cannot continue this way and it also leads to reliance on state subsidies a polite face by job seekers across all sectors and all levels of society when you are within the european institutions too early to be detached from the tea and you are among the. euro crowds when you say unemployment benefits are too high compared to paid salaries this is the wrong way to see the problem most people aren't paid enough for their jobs in two thousand and ten more than twenty five percent of the e.u.'s g.d.p. was devoted to social benefits seen as a heavy burden on a crisis stricken in europe since then various cuts have been made by member states particularly greece portugal spain and ireland a sportive e.u.

imposed a stared even powerhouse germany is joining the crunch a local newspaper reported seeing a leaked directive from the labor ministry blocking a basic unemployment benefits for people who moved to germany from some e.u. countries and it's been a target as an attempt to curb abuse of the system by discouraging immigration from struggling e.u. economies you can't really blame the individual people they are just a victim as everyone else from an economic system in which they're living on the economic. many of those who don't have jobs turn to the state for unemployment benefits which may be reduced if it hasn't been already due to continue to sturdy across the e.u. no substantive budget cuts have also stunted economic growth and job creation which leaves the job seeker at exactly the same spot jobless state dependent and increasingly extreme cases living in desperation tesser sylvia r t brussels.

well it's not all doom and gloom according to some analysts we had now to our business desk of marina marina could it be that someone at least has an optimistic outlook at this point well yes there is in fact we will hear from an analyst that we spoke to earlier but basically said that it's not the mistaken view it's more the fact that at least one country is doing better and we're talking about the states in particular basically what are analysts the saying the expert that we spoke to is the fact that europe should focus its attention on the united states and that the tactics employed there are much better we've seen a slow recovery so ideal but it's still better than the situation i was in the euro zone and i'll have more on that in about ten minutes. and also coming up in the program attack or self defense the u.k. could declare a summer war on its enemy as with he's calling for the aggressive use of covert hacking to protect the country's interests even though it's illegal.

israel is now blaming hezbollah the lebanese ally of iran for carrying out an attack on a bus with israeli tourists and ball daria which has left six dead earlier israeli pm benjamin netanyahu said all signs point to to iran with refuting the accusations as baseless but the standoff between the two seems to have reached new heights as artie's policy or reports but no minutes on yahoo says that the focus and the cause of this attack that happened on wednesday in the bulgarian city of burgas is clearly on the shoulders of hizbullah netanyahu says that his bill that acts as the longer one of iran in the region and while this is no secret certainly everybody here does know that hizbullah is a proxy for iran and the fact that who is not naming his below is only going to food to stroke tensions in the region not israel has tried to deal with his been in the past but it has failed back in two thousand and six israel went to war with lebanon over his below but by all accounts that was

a war which israel lost to some since israel has almost an say told school card with hizbollah but the timing could not be would have gone to a region in flux you've got ongoing violence in neighboring syria you've got for the first time and is the most president in neighboring egypt but netanyahu is also known for often using the international concerns and the international community to do it to detract attention away from problems and has on the domestic front there is the real rate that you will see social protest is growing in number in the coming weeks and at the same time this week the largest israeli political party to do. the ruling coalition of netanyahu says that he has problems to deal with on the domestic front. political analyst kamel wallsten believes netanyahu is claims are nothing more than rhetoric improving his own standing that has made it very clear that they are not going to use tourist in eastern europe to carry out against

israeli and i think they made very clear statement they're against killing i mean civilian a whether is an israeli or other people but i think mr netanyahu always tried to play the iranian card down the hezbollah card to remind the international community that he has an enemy and it comes to the point because the nuclear file. always wanted to keep it on the spot light i think it's merely rhetoric and i wouldn't put a lot of money on what netanyahu will say and he's very good at what he does or using there's a broad background game popularity inside of israel but i think at this point the region is on fire and i think the last things the iranian or hizbullah will take you know a shock value in israeli which they clearly said they will not target. israel iran and other countries at odds with the u.s.

and europe could find themselves under a fresh but unconventional attack british m.p.'s say the u.k. should declare cyber war on states and organizations which target it by carrying out aggressive hacker attacks itself here's archies laura smith. if you can't be to join them that seems to be britain's new attitude when it comes to dealing with cyber attacks a new report by the u.k.'s intelligence and security commission has concluded it's not enough to defend against cyber attacks additionally the military boy sees should be actively declaring soluble war on enemy states attack evidently is in their view the best form of defense although in this case they're calling it active defense bearers voicing that britain should be secretly hacking into enemy systems using programs like the stuxnet virus which disrupted iran its nuclear enrichment

program it comes just two years after the launch of a six hundred fifty million pounds national soluble security program but progress according to the m.p.'s on the committee has been slow the national security strategy ranks the threat of cyber attacks alongside that of terrorism and yet this committee of m.p.'s seems fully prepared to engage in it itself this despite the fact that the report says the communications agency g c h q believes eighty percent of cyber attacks all preventable three basic measures like using security software and proper passwords cyber attacks of course have another name hacking it's illegal in most countries including the u.k. and britain has its fair share of hacking case is currently in the courts including that of autism suffer a gary mckinnon he's been fighting his extradition to the us for hacking into the

eve of the olympic games in a dispute over pay even without the strike u.k. airports have been plagued by long queues as they struggle to cope with the huge volume of visitors the london games have already been hit by a number of embarrassing setbacks with the country forced to draft in thousands of soldiers after a private security provider failed to train enough staff. well that's not the only thing the u.k. is struggling with right now there's a grim economic outlook there as well isn't that right now that's right carin in fact of course we know that you can't buy minister david cameron also said that there are extending their spending twenty twenty that's the forecast right now or have more on that in the second first let's see what investors are thinking how they're feeling because if you look at the european markets we'll see it's a mixed sentiment the footsies losing just a lot the german dax added just not as they're pretty much it's been a lackluster performance across the board with

a lot of spanish foreign call so going higher not really encouraging the investors there at all because they look at currencies the euro is still losing against the u.s. dollar the ruble gaining against both major currencies and just to focus on the u.k. a little bit more we know that the international monetary fund has warned that britain's economy is itself it might suffer permanent damage following this financial crisis and in fact suggested that the country should quote cut rates step up public investment and also potentially relax its austerity measures and earlier we spoke to mark them back from capital economics research consultancy and what he did was compare the extension of these spending calls up until twenty twenty that consentual all of that happened in the with the measures in the us and he said what europe could learn from what has been done there. the u.s. economy is recovering the recovery is not particularly strong but unemployment growth. if you look at the. economic indicators are pointing

downwards on the poor the. u.s. is the. truck. or the person as of now we've seen all the european markets as well as the asian ones which closed in the right side sort of with the r.t.s. point eight percent similarly with the my six and of course the corn include prices are helping and we can take a look at those have now fallen off they're in line i'm on the high and this comes amid speculation that the recent gains we saw were in fact excessive because we had worse than expected economic data so there was no reason for them to be going higher and higher and also we're getting signs that might be weakening also happens but we're focused on russia and here for a second we have another story and this is about russia as a main arms export which has now lost a multimillion dollar contract with the u.s. pensa gone but also bought on export i had a deal to sell ten m. i seventeen attack helicopters and they were to be used by afghan forces after the

u.s. withdraws from afghanistan in two thousand and fourteen but washington has a blog the existing agreements claiming the russian company is arming the syrian regime. now the spine of the financial turmoil was seen around the world we know that investors of course struggling to know where it's a part of their cash where to invest their money but according to latest research done by a banking giant city your group we know that russia apparently has the credentials to attract the big money makers and explains why and how. the eurozone crisis is three years in the making and there's no end in sight so working retail investors safely mark their money to wait out the storm banking giant citi group says russia why while their answer is simple russia's economy stronger and has more potential than most european economies see for yourself russia's g.d.p. may grow as much as four percent this year that's according to the economy ministry europe while most of it expects negative growth in two thousand and twelve even the

strongest economies show a meager rates debt debt related problems are investors nightmares well it turns out russia has the lowest levels of government and corporate debt of any country in europe around nine percent the average for the eurozone is ten times that while europe struggling with double digit unemployment russia's jobless rate when they fell to the lowest level in thirteen years and this is stimulating consumption russia's already europe's biggest consumer in many categories and this year expected to be the absolute leader germany in terms of course sales how can you capitalize on russia's relative strength citigroup suggests investing into global companies with sales in russia. so if you have the money it seems that this is the fun of the place where the money's a big guy but then the guys as we've been sent a lot of people are struggling why they just have the money to have more have invested that karen thanks for that update marina shortly cross-talk looks at the
