you should watch only on the old you dog. terrorism's to iran become trees wronged by the worst violence is the us was drawn as a way with the time to leave more than one hundred dead after al qaida announces its resurgence that. syrian assurance that chemical weapons weren't be used in its internal conflict great media scare stories with the hype on whether stockpiles might be deployed against a foreign aggressor. and fears that the euro zone does contagion is reaching its economic powerhouse germany after moody's learned its outlook to negative but top rated members of the monetary union. hello and welcome to all see twenty four hour news line for moscow my name is tom

main story now a string of coordinated bomb attacks in iraq have hate more than a dozen cities and killed over one hundred people the worst violence in the country since the u.s. troop withdrawal the blasts were mainly targeting security forces and government officials and shy of neighborhoods that france's occurred only days after al-qaeda announced a major comeback in iraq she's been there she can now looks at what this means for the country and the whole region. the self appointed leader of the iraqi branch of al qaida abu barker all baghdadi has announced the resurgence of terror in the country and clearly indicated there is more to come moreover he dedicated more than half of his online speech to the uprising in syria they happen to be staunch supporters of the rebels they are various organizations are pointing at the expansion of terrorist networks in syria which effectively fuels civil war there so this iraqi based al-qaeda leader also warned the syrian rebels not to accept a new rule. or constitution but god's will and urrea islamic law otherwise quote

you will lose your blast revolution end of quote also in his message of support to the syrian rebels he says quote we taught the world lessons of courage and jihad and proved that injustice could only be removed by force and of quote to talk a little bit more about the lessons of iraq i'm joined by michael o'brien author of the book called america's failure in iraq sir you were based in baghdad at the height of the insurgency there so with the u.s. invasion in iraq six tarion war blossomed rampant insurgency terror which still continues to kill iraqis on a regular basis in june alone nearly two hundred people were killed in similar attacks across iraq when the u.s. decided to go in do you think they they didn't know how divided iraq was and what the consequences the regime change would lead to it was never really seriously

considered. and i say this because of the very simplistic attitude the very cavalier attitude of the bush administration of which i was in the bush administration for two years so the know about it though they knew about it they just i don't they really don't think they factored it in at all everything the united states did lead to where we are where they are interact today it was totally destabilized. and then you get the tension between the sunni and the shia saddam was a sunni which is a minority of the population al qaida all they want to do al qaida in iraq is they'll kill sunni's so that the shiites take the blame bill kill shiites so that the sunni will take the blame they really don't care all they want to do is kill people and foment unrest do you think those world powers that call for a military intervention in syria know how divided syria is i certainly hope that they take east. these factors like that into consideration here for the list. over

the lessons of iraq are there for all the world to see michael o'brien thank you sir. there is terrible violence going on in syria it is now an all out civil war those who are against military intervention there remind how divided syria is between different ethnic groups where we just communities it's a power to carry consensually and many war and if the solution is forced on them from outside from out of syria the powder keg could blow into a never ending civil war iraq is an example for the u.s. carried out regime change their civil war broke out and killed more than a hundred thousand civilians not to mention millions of refugees as the recent attacks road to iraq still remains a hotbed of terror in washington i'm going to check on. so the obvious presence of terror groups. in syria has led to major theory is that the country's chemical weapons might end up in the wrong hands the syrian government has only recently acknowledged the existence of stockpiles but insisted they are secure they'd never

be used in the current internal conflicts she's extent of what her brings a veto from damascus. monday's news conference here in damascus foreign ministry spokesman did mean that syria indeed possesses chemical weapons something that nonproliferation experts have suggested all along and that the syrian authorities have a number a straightforward lee did nine damascus has never signed the chemical weapons convention says technically it's admitting to having those chemical stockpiles is not a while ration of any international treaty which all of that syrian officials have long suggested that they need some sort of deterrent against israel's similarly non admitted nuclear weapons program in terms of keep abilities syria is believed to possess as nervous agents and mustard gas as well as the missile capabilities to deliver those weapons those chemicals are believed to be produced at five

facilities around the country including two locations in hans' and home of those cities as you will have seen major fighting between the opposition forces and the army. several israeli and western officials over the past few months have raised concerns that if bashar assad's regime indeed falls those chemicals would fall into terrorist hands and that while the syrian authorities hausler to downplay this thread they're saying that all the weapons including chemical weapons are now under direct supervision and control of the syrian army despite those. statements it is believed to be a considerable threat and the western policy makers should consider that as one of the negative comes of support for the opposition forces now over the past few weeks. speculations in western media suggesting that.

the government may use those chemicals in its fire against armed groups. these suggestion was kind to goree can we deny these press conference in damascus on monday the foreign ministry spokesman says that no chemical or biological weapons will ever be used during the crisis in syria no matter what development is inside syria he also said that all these speculations are part of a major media can be made to prepare international public opinion for military intervention in syria how did it both pretext of weapons of mass destruction similar to the one that toppled saddam hussein. and american author and radio talk show host dr kevin barrett believes that international media is hyping up they show chemical weapons to pave the way for possible external action misters remind us of the bogus accusations that were floating around prior to the unprovoked invasion of

iraq there have been all sorts of stories and rumors over the past couple of months about the syrian opposition training with chemical weapons in turkey with the intention of setting up a false flag events in syria to be blamed for the assad government and it seems that perhaps that's what's in the cards it may be that there is a and attempt to pave the way for this by preparing public opinion for the idea that this evil syrian regime uses chemical weapons. don't forget that you can always get on days on the situation in syria by following the tweets of all the news team and our correspondent on the border goes into moscow's and among other things sharing details of some of the difficulties faced by journalists and she says many locals are north radio cameras and all rifles because people were targeted after appearing on t.v.

so follow her on a ploy to underscore. average blow to the struggling euro zone moody's rating agency has lowered the outlook for its most stable economies including germany then others and luxembourg also have negative forecast with rising fears over the debt crisis cited as the reason behind the move and it adds to already existing uncertainty around spain are shades of boring cost the reach new year era highs and for more on this let's now cross live to peter all of us in berlin hello that peter so is this a sign that the contagion is now reaching or been considered to europe's stability plan in germany. well it doesn't look good really what you're century what you have is you've got one of the leading credit agencies in the world saying that they don't have confidence in germany's ability to pay their debts in germany's credit

rating now it's worth noting that this doesn't affect germany's aaa rating as it stands at the moment this is the outlook. it is being downgraded to negative however that does suggest that in the future we could see germany follow the likes of france and italy who have lost their triple a ratings now this is due to the fact that. moody's believe that a greek exit from the euro zone would affect germany so much also the fact that if spain as it looks at the moment may need a full bailout that it isn't just the banking set sector that needs help that that would also have a knock on effect to germany so it is really that that contagion that would be speaking about for so long does seem like it's going to see in to europe's largest economy in europe's only really successful economy the moment now germany has been very much opposed to so-called euro bonds that would see europe white eurozone debt shared amongst all of the members but it does seem that really by proxy that is

happening that germany even though they posted growth in the last quarter they're being tarnished by the financial troubles in greece and in spain whether they agree to those euro bonds or not that is still having a knock on effect in affecting how germany is viewed on the credit rating sector now to the traveled south of europe what's going on in spain that. well it's i said it was not looking good in germany it's really not looking good in spain now they've just released figures that show that they have the highest cost of borrowing since the eurozone was created and we're talking here far higher than the costs that were posted for the likes of ireland portugal greece so that of course doesn't suggest that the future is looking bright in spain we've seen protests on the streets that have turned violent people very unhappy at the austerity measures that are coming in there and it's not just in spain that people are unhappy about.

today in italy we're going to see mayors from across the country gathering in rome in the capital to protest against the story of the measures there so you've got the government protesting against the government people upset these are sturdy measures . really the question has to be asked is what is the future what is the future should we be cutting these budgets and how do these countries deal with the crippling financial crisis that they see themselves in. all of our reporting there live from delhi many thanks indeed. and staying with the euro crisis here in the end of the single currency many wealthy europeans are investing in property with london one of their favorite markets that's pushing up prices for locals meaning ordinary people are struggling to get a foot on the housing ladder. explains. economic distress breeds

financial refugees and as the eurozone limps to what may be its death wealthy greeks italians and spaniards are desperate for a safe haven for their cash many have chosen london bricks and mortar the list of locations where europeans are choosing to buy a property reads like the priciest squares on the monopoly board chelsea knightsbridge mayfair here in kensington but as rich foreigners lose faith in their own economies and snap up property at the top end of the london markets down at the bottom ordinary brits are struggling to get on the housing ladder at all bernard clarke of the council of mortgage lenders reckons european cash is making an already tight housing market harder for everyone in property is probably contributing to. the difficult conditions in london which is one of the most difficult places for people to buy in any case because property prices in london

not that much higher than the rest of the country then hewas knows all about that a teacher and a recruitment consultant he and his fiance live in a rented flat unsure when they'll be able to scrape together the sixty thousand dollars deposit they'll need to buy their own home this should be tricky i think the main thing. i think the cost the mortgage would be much too much more than what we're actually paying now especially if we downsize because it's. probably less than what we're paying now. you know i've not got the best credit rating. not really got a credit rating having not really taken credit out. the deposit is high since the credit crunch banks are unwilling to lend to anyone with a less than perfect credit rating still a recent survey by the mortgage association shows eight out of ten british adults hope to own their own homes within ten years but. aspirations particularly among

the young less and less likely to be fulfilled with four million eighteen to thirty s renting by two thousand and twenty fundamentally in good faith saying a housing crisis or housing markets broken every level we're not building enough new homes many younger people nabl to afford to buy their own home they're forced to live with their parents into their thirty's to scrape together a deposit or they're struggling to afford expensive rents in the private rented sector so ben and millions like him lacking the security of homeownership means putting other life plans on hold. because you know if you go a mortgage you put in money is almost an investment money is you know not going into a landlord's pocket so it's really important the way we buy a house and something that we want to do for you and stuff like that. it just seems a long way off you know. it doesn't seem realistic at the moment the british dream

of owning your own home is alive and well but the dreams of many will be dashed by steadily rising prices and on available credit and an influx of euro cash puts youngsters dreams of owning any property cheap or chic further and further away laura smith london. got more on the european debt woes in our business bulletin let's cross over to them to find out what else they got for us this hour katie hello there will not only just the european crisis but i'm also going to talk about dramas in the russian economy as well i'm going to talk about the b.p. situation because it looks like the drama is coming to a head with writers oh my dear ross now at expressing interest in buying peace day it is eager to get the negotiations started not only for the business bulletin you are have more about having its time with details great stuff. egypt is allowing palestinians free entry to its territory in

a landmark move and being part of a long time blockade on gaza it was imposed by israel with the help of egypt find years ago after hamas took control of the palestinian territory but of the president from the muslim brotherhood now leading a trip to the movies widely seen as a friendly gesture to hamas an offshoot of the brotherhood which operates independently middle east correspondent policy her small. cairo is allowing palestinians free entry into egypt effectively ending a five year blockade on the gaza strip what this means is that palestinians can now leave gaza with the same law applying to palestinians in the west bank and jerusalem this unprecedented move effectively lifts travel restrictions that have been imposed on gazans for the past five years they've been penned into this tiny mediterranean coastal city by a blockade imposed by israel but also assisted by the egyptian authorities egypt's interest was because of its fear for her mask and the spread of islamic militancy

but what we've seen now is a change largely in part because of separate meetings that were held in the past few days between the palestinian president mahmoud abbas the new egypt president dr mohamed morsi of the muslim brotherhood as well as the leader of hamas which controls the gaza strip khaled mashal so this certainly is a gesture of support by the egyptians to the palestinians in a separate and unrelated move israel has just announced that it is demolishing eight palestinian villages in the south hebron hills now the announcement says that the land is needed for training by the israeli defense forces by exercises that carry out what we understand is that the forms we still have access to their land to work the land when the soldiers are not there so this would be on the weekend and on jewish holidays but the rest of the time the land used by the idea of so you are seeing this almost parallel but completely opposing effort by cairo and tell

every of on the one hand the egyptians extending a hand of friendship while the israelis for that is strange in themselves and isolating themselves not only from the region but from the egyptian neighbors paulus there are two television. and of course there's always more news and comment to vailable any time you want on our website assay dot com like a grim discovery in russia's year also almost two hundred fifty human embryos were dumped in a forest and later discovered by tourists before details that r.t. dot com. and also that we've got pictures of a stunning sculpture based on one of london's most famous icons just days before the city hosed their lympics can't even do push ups.

a staple america's war abroad unmanned drones might soon be used to spy on the country's own citizens by twenty fifteen the computer controlled jets will have access to airspace usually reserved for piloted planes and directed from the us drug training companies supporting their increased hughes says that if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear but trevitt team and activist at the electronic frontier foundation says that argument no longer holds water. this is been used countless times in the past to justify a warrantless e-mail surveillance or g.p.s. location on your phone cops getting it without a warrant and it's all actually just of the kind of a false use of an idea that we have about privacy and you know i'm sure if we asked the head of this drone industry whether he would like a law enforcement drone following him around twenty four seven or if we would like

him to give up his password to his email address to to us so that we can reuse e-mails or cameras in his home he would be very uncomfortable with that and that's the real problem with this argument because he's using it to try to deflect criticism that these surveillance drones are going inflict on people's privacy which they are because there's actually no laws that really cover this type of surveillance and you know it's not that people are arguing that drones shouldn't be used at all that's that's not at all the case he's using kind of a straw man to hold it up but all we want our privacy safeguards to prevent americans from being spied on without a warrant or without court oversight. now let's take a look at some other stories making news around the world a series of u.s. drone strikes on a suspected militant base have killed at least eleven people near pakistan's border with afghanistan american officials say the base was links to a well known commander fighting nation and u.s. forces drone strikes have caused serious tension between washington and islamabad

to buying it since the russian coal shareholders off here in k.b.p.s. i mean the i four axis of the movie they're also thinking about buying these shares in fact earlier they said that they might buy half of what the fee for british petroleum holds in this joint venture but when it comes to g.n.p. b.p. there was a lot of speculation and rumors before about rules within the company's management about how balance to control over the company is which side basically controls it more but it is definitely a very attractive project for british petroleum which also along with me have to work in the center of a scandal in general just thousand and eleven when they signed the deal aiming to jointly develop the arctic shelf but again alpha axis you know we were against that saying that it violated the initial d n t v agreement since d.n. p.v.p. was not included in this deal and it was cancelled by the stockholm stockholm board now this particular deal and i mean british petroleum steers indian p.v.p.
