killing six. it's a pleasure to have you with us here on our to today. live in moscow a fierce clashes continue across syria as rebels have managed to seize border crossings to iraq 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 several top syrian military officials. has the latest. pretty syrian army soldiers are now controlling all four border crossings at the syrian iraqi border but without top official has also said that the iraqi guards have witnessed extreme ballers 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 into. portrays a free syrian army has been able to take control over things at the border that means that they they are very determined in large scale operation against the regime of president bashar al assad but that doesn't necessarily mean that there's still keep in this control because everything changes very fast we have to be very careful with information and even with picture is we see because since the beginning of this our prize in it's also been media war and just recently we've been hearing from opposition that they've managed to take control over the airport just yesterday we were at the airport here in damascus and it's functioning normally 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 of the clashes between the army and the gravels have been taking place in at least five districts all damascus and it's been extremely difficult to get in side these districts but on thursday we've 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 a very fierce clashes we've even seen many tracks of tanks and although not totally on the roads but on what used to be the cars. obviously all shoulders are closed and we have to understand that these districts are not remote. damascus suburb it's not far from the center the city's center we've been here for one the month now and we've been to these districts many times. by 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 mazed 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 it was 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. course one of more of an awful reporting but well for the meantime the u.n. security council has agreed to disagree on syria russia and china have vetoed another attempt by western states to push 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 r.t.

as more important 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 you know 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 withdraw 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 now the russian ambassador to the united nations vitaly churkin did address the media saying that there is still time for the security council to reach a consensus but he said that russia would not support any moves or pass 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 syria every opportunity. of the need to extend the mandate of the morning during mission. in syria. number of unacceptable clauses oer concerns is that. 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 un mission in syria for a final thirty days and that is something which the security council is considering but according to 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. well in that piece so we heard from russia's ambassador to the u.n. of course of it ali you can see the full exclusive interview with him throughout the day here on. he explains why his country said no to the western backed resolution on syria meanwhile though the words of yet another russian ambassador the rumors are running rife that assad may be ready to step down the international media quoting a russian ambassador let's cross over to all of these are shown thomas good to see you sean any look at this point with trying to separate fact from fiction. these reports coming from an. ambassador for. you know we do apologize i do apologize and did i that was our tease our sean thomas we had also we've actually got a really massive storm moving over the russian capital right now so when it clears

we'll try to establish a better connection with him then i think sean thomas right there. we appreciate your patience here in our protesters met with tear gas and rubber bullets on spanish streets as they marched against more austerity a number of people were injured and detained clashes are followed massive peaceful demonstrations which were joined by hundreds of thousands of people across the country they are furious that public spending is once again being slashed in response to rescuing the banks the german parliament did give the green light for the one hundred billion euro bailout on thursday and i kind of as journalist charlie mcgrath says the european governments are betraying their own people. in europe just like the rest of the world you know the 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 there are a lot of people are you know they're completely frustrated they have nowhere else

to turn in 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 in installing their own technocrats so they don't be 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. now 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 in the looks like they might have

to go further afield the neighboring eurozone states artie's tesser are sillier investigates. twenty four point six million people are without jobs across the european union seventeen point four million of them in the eurozone countries with unemployment at its highest levels of 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 nice happening you know i don't want b.b.c. korean families i don't want i don't i don't want to meet with you know is that.

i wanna work i want to go to. the current levels of unemployment around acceptable . it's been if it is it simply cannot continue this way and it also leads to reliance on state subsidies a plight faced by job seekers across all sectors and all levels of society and when you are within the european institutions you are a little bit detached from there and you are among the. euro crowds when they 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 use g.d.p. was devoted to social benefits seen as a heavy burden on a crisis stricken europe since then various cuts have been laid by the member states particularly. spain and ireland a sportive e.u.

imposed a stared even powerhouse germany has joined in the crunch a local newspaper reported seeing a leaked directive from the labor minutes. blocking a basic unemployment benefits for people who moved to germany from some e.u. countries it's been a target as an attempt to curb abuse of the system by discouraging immigration from struggling economies you can't really blame. people they are just a victimless everyone else from you come on the system in which there are. many of those who don't turn to the state for unemployment benefits which may be reduced. it to continue to steady across the e.u. no substantive budget cuts have also stunted economic growth and job creation it's nice job seekers exactly the same spot. still dependent and increasingly extreme cases living in desperation just are still here r t brussels it's good to have you with us here and still to come for you in this program. you may declare

war on its enemies but m.p. is calling for the aggressive use of codebook king to protect the country's interests even though all the while it's against the law. now israelis are blaming hezbollah the lebanese ally of iran for carrying out an attack on a bus with israeli tourists in bulgaria which killed six israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said that all signs pointed at iran with tehran refuting the accusations as baseless but the standoff between the two seems to have reached new heights. now explains. but no minutes on yahoo says that the focus and because 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 long term 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 in

a time yahoo is not naming his below it's only going to through the stroke tensions in the region not israel has tried to deal with has been on the past but it has failed back in two thousand and six israel went to war with lebanon on over his below but by all accounts that was a war which israel lost to some since israel has almost an say told school college what's his but the timing could not be worse you've gone to a region in flux you've got ongoing violence in neighboring syria you've got for the first time and is now mr 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 threat that you will see social protestors 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 and a political analyst come out wasn't he believes that netanyahu is claims and nothing more than rhetoric simply aimed at improving his own political standing. that has made it very clear that they are not going to use tourist in eastern europe to carry. against israeli and i think they made very clear statement they're against killing civilians the weather is an israeli or other people but i think mr netanyahu always tried to play the iranian card card to remind the international community that he has and i mean and it comes to the point because the nuclear file . always wanted to keep it 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 this a propaganda game inside of israel but i think at this point the region is

on fire and i think every indian or hizbullah will take you know a shot of million israeli which they clearly said they will not target. israel. for but what top story here for you on. when it comes in the wake of the u.n. in the past twenty four hours are russia and china vetoing the latest u.n. draft resolution against syria the ongoing crisis there we're now hearing rumors that president assad may be ready to step down on this according to the international media quoting a russian ambassador the no however the only rumors we've been hearing let's try and at least get to the bottom of this with our promise now standing by sean any luck in our separating fact from fiction. well roy this is coming from our of the reports and let's get right to it they say that russian ambassador to france alexander orlov has said that syrian president bashar al assad is ready to step down but in

a civilized manner day after opposition fighters control the country's border post with turkey and iraq and following brazen killing of three top security officials in the capital the diplomat said that during a meeting in geneva by the syria action group on june thirtieth a final communique provided for a transition to a more democratic regime was accepted by assad he agreed to leave it but from the civilized way now in essence if there was a meeting they adopted a communique which allows for a transition to a more democratic opposite regime rather assad was there he agreed to this and even appointed representative to discuss this with the opposition and agreed to leave it done so in a civilized manner we had are to have contacted the russian foreign ministry and they have not confirmed this but they are monitoring the situation very closely also various syrian a fresh officials within the government there have not confirmed this information as well now assad has said in the past that he is indeed willing to leave if that

is the will of the syrian people and not if he's going to be forced out by foreign and evolvement now there are also rumors that assad has already fled damascus and that he has been injured even though there are television reports showing him an injured in the case also rumors that his wife has fled here to moscow now the foreign ministry has commented on this general idea of rumors and they say that in this is quoting from the foreign ministry the world is usually awash with rumors these rumors tend to gain some information ground and spread very fast i would not like to comment on any rumors today i think that it is a very dishonest information trapped be careful not to fall into it and that's the word coming from the russian foreign ministry so obviously they're looking at the situation trying to see what's true what's not but right now they're just saying pretty much rumors at this point all right and i will just keep it out that he's actually thomas live in moscow thank you. now iran and other countries

are at odds with the u.s. and europe where they could be finding themselves under a fresh but unconventional attack british m.p.'s say the u.k. should declare cyber war on states on organizations which target it by carrying out aggressive hacker attacks itself artie's laura smith reports. 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 and spoil agencies should be actively declaring soluble war on enemy state 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 and its nuclear enrichment program it comes just two years after the launch of a six hundred fifty million pounds national cybersecurity 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 itself this despite the fact that the report says the communications agency g c h q believes eighty percent of cyber attacks all preventable basic measures like using security software and proper part. sober attacks of course have another name hacking it's illegal in most countries including the u.k. and britain has its first hacking case is currently in the courts including that of

autism suffer a gary mckinnon he's been voicing his extradition to the us for hacking into the pentagon's computer system for ten years now so far his government has refused to protect him maybe if state sponsored hacking becomes the norm that will change. right there were no cyber wars on our website only the latest news and videos. there are more than a third of japanese children who live in the area protected by last year's nuclear disaster and likely to suffer from so that's all been unveiled in a brand new. crime but no punishment american servicemen involved in a prostitution scandal during obama's visit to. not face any criminal charges are those details and many other stories. are straight to the fore you will start in denver there's been at least fourteen people

killed dozens injured after a shooting at a suburban cinema ten people died at the scene for later in hospital. of the new batman movie the dark knight rises the. gunman was arrested in the cinemas parking lot of reports the man fired during the attack. pressure on the regime protests have been reported in bahrain the demonstrators are said to have charted that they would never accept humiliation protests against the ruling family and for political reform have been taking place since last february with frequent clashes between demonstrators and riot police the regime has been trying to suppress the opposition. activists. thousands of british port of border guards are set to walk out of their jobs on the eve of the olympic games this dispute pay even without the strike airports have

been plagued by long queues as they struggle to cope with the huge volume of visitors now the london games have already been hit by a number of embarrassing setbacks for the country forced to draft thousands of soldiers after a private security provider failed. to train enough stuff. but of course over to the business. to mystic river in across the river good to see you raining outside thundering and lightning outside i guess it's safe to assume that the middle of trading floors is just as depressing. course that is going to be a thing of them as they go just like the weather forecast is that it's overcast and that's the mood of investors right now because spenders boring call sagar and higher were been hearing about a david cameron the u.k. prime minister of course gave a grim economic outlook about the country so naturally the figures for the european markets are all in the red if we take a look at them right now and they're basically extending the losses that we saw the

previous hour the footsie is now losing over half a percentage of my back slidden tonight as it's after about two hours ago and it's now going deeper and deeper into the red losing point three or four percent this hour and as i said spanish foreign calls and the country's banking sector in general is was on investors' minds right now it would say look at currencies the euro is a new suit against the u.s. dollar the ruble though is going against both major currencies this friday and then the good one example of that there are some markets of course pessimism as extending from the asian markets on to europe and here as well but here another thing that is affecting the markets is the prime include prices they have fallen from the ninety's we call and if we take a look at that with prices as i explain this basically we have signs that demand will be weakening also the fact that the recent gains we saw there speculation that they were excessive because we had worse than expected economic data now if we move on and take a look at more local news stories here related to the first one russia's gas export monopoly gas from it may get some competition the home all major role snuff has

bought six percent of a mid-sized natural gas company its heroin and financial details are not available at the moment the move is such a strong enough foothold on the gas markets. also off of main arms exports are has now lost a multimillion dollar contract with a us pencil gone but also bought on export the had a deal to sell ten m.r.i. seventeen attack helicopters there were to be used by afghan forces after the u.s. withdraws from of ghana's than in two thousand and fourteen washington has blocked existing agreements claiming the russian company is arming the syrian regime. enough for investors wondering where to park their cash in this foreign and short term or that was soon to happen all over the world according to a new report by citigroup the banking giant russia has all the credentials to attract the foreign investors albeit local and that's how she explains why that is

. 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 the 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 while 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 and 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 the global companies with sales in russia. for the spiral of the aura capital outflow this week has reached fifty two million dollars from the russian oriented fund so there's only highlights the fact that basically the government needs to work on making the conditions better here in the country and i'm going to face the rain there already because caterpillar with me or with you in that so i'll be seeing you some of the time when i have you have the world's biggest problem or enough. to. be back with the headlines in just a moment to say yes. it would.

be. much brighter if you knew.
