why not what's really happening to the global economy with my stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines. guys report on are. the embattled syrian opposition makes a fresh pretty full foreign option as activists claim people support for the insurgency is dwindling amid new allegations of rebel atrocities. egypt's president ordered the country's top two military officials to retire as a major offensive continues in the country's volatile sinai region. while the northeast egyptian border hit south and al-qaeda linked groups infiltrate syria and israel feels trapped in the middle and the south the security forces just in case. and in the business bulletin we'll take a close look at how the russian markets are managing to withstand the downward pressure from the easing bourses in the second hour of trade all that and more

about what. hello and welcome to our sea twenty four hour news live from moscow my name is your . story now the political leaders of the syrian opposition have made fresh calls for no fly zone in the country the syrian national council even warns of foreign troops to start patrolling areas near the borders was jordan and turkey but the u.s. and its allies remain reluctant to get directly involved and or instead of bolstering material support for anti government finances meanwhile alleged rebel atrocities that are forcing more syrian activists to renounce the opposition this and that of footage apparently shows insurgents throwing the bodies of loyalists from a rooftop in aleppo a key flashpoint in the worsening conflict the head of one. independent media
3:02 am
outlet in syria told actually that he is puzzled why the rebels are pleading for for action when they claim to have the people supporting it. when anybody talks about an all fly zone they are talking about a regional war they know quite well that the syrian army will not allow any foreign power or foreign armies to interfere within the syrian land and that any attempt to create a safe zone or a no fly zone will be on the tour by war and any war between syria and turkey or syria and any needs a nation will turn into a large regional war in syria is a part of a huge alliance and for instance the iranians just last week made it clear that if any foreign power tries to interfere in syria they would not just watch their strongest ally for seven workers are being attacked i've seen rebels kill people in the streets floater them with knives and then mr clinton comes and gives them money they lost in the masters they are losing in any point as we speak and as usual whenever the they find themselves in
3:03 am
a pickle like this they call for foreign intervention and if they claim that they have popular support as they have been saying for seventeen months why do they need foreign intervention and some of those willing to help the opposition are often unaware of exactly what's going on in the assad in the assad camp right can shed some light on the darker side of the rebellion. ever thought about adopting someone why not a syrian rebel as this headline says for just one dollar a day you too can help a syrian rebel oust president assad these days you have a good number of organizations which present themselves basically as charities where you can make a donation to the rebels in syria this is the website of one of the rebel groups there saying among other things they are seeking military equipment then there is another organization which collects donations based here in washington and supported by the u.s. government they're called syrian support group we try to reach out to them and ask
3:04 am
how they plan to distribute that money we never heard from them. another web site one called adopt a revolution they also present themselves as a charity but it's organizer admitted that it's hard to see where the money goes as far as who the donors are he said they range from corporations to retired couples and students possibly those mentioned retired couples have seen videos like this one where the rebels singing a backstreet boys song oh see only. i. know you. think oh my god but what the pitch for donors does not say is that not all rebel fighters are some romantic backstreet boys fans probably not these ones and this footage shows an apparent mass execution of assault supporters by the rebels in cold blood. reports on the ground show that very sick straightness groups are doing the fighting including al qaida but it's
3:05 am
not to say that all of them are all qaeda either it's a full blown civil war where the degree of hatred is so high that people commit atrocities on all fronts i spoke with one of america's leading experts on counterterrorism and he told me the bloodshed will be even harder to stop as more outside forces get involved it isn't any more simply a question of sunni versus our it's a question of saudi arabia versus iran and it's a question of turkey's increasing role in the middle east all these things make this more and more complicated and make it less and less likely that we're going to have a peaceful resolution instead we're going to have a winner take all solution one could say the danger is in simplifying things putting them black and white supporting people who kill can be called anything but charity in washington i'm going to check on. and now it's time we hear from dr
3:06 am
abdul as is al qaeda who spent fourteen years in prison for his political activism in syria that's a peaceful struggle is the only way towards his country's democratic future. everybody must cooperate. to convience the military groups first of all the regime second round groups of the opposition that it's time it's high time indeed to come to a cease fire and to start negotiations about what to do and how to arrange some peaceful future for the country of course this includes the president and his family must step aside at least for a while. and the power must be passed on to some acceptable personnel from the regime acceptable to the regime and accept the opposition as well. to start a presentation on period in which. a new constitution and new legality
3:07 am
will be established in the country. egypt's president has orders the country's two top military officials to stand down the defense minister and chief of staff have been told to go during the major offensive that's underway in the country's restive sinai region along the israeli border they gyptian leader who is in a power struggle with the military council to restore security in sinai but the region's only seen more lawlessness since president mubarak was ousted with al qaeda groups targeting security forces and the mass smuggling of arms from libya and dr omar sure from the middle east studies institute at exeter university says that what looks like a stumble authority has actually been done with the military's corp. you see a major shake up but it's not a civilian shake up it's not an appointed civilian defense minister most of the
3:08 am
of these changes where the negotiated at least by the member with the members of the scaf that promoted and appointed. and it's not. a surprise. that the head of the military intelligence always where the factions within the army the capacity of. the other generals to. create some sort of trouble some sort of resistance to the president this head of the military intelligence was appointed defense minister because you have enough information on the army factions and on who could do what the army so i don't think there would be action on the on behalf of the army. meanwhile israel's staying alert amid growing regional instability with prime minister netanyahu saying his

3:19 am
about five and a half million turks living in the european union their presence is certainly felt in societies in europe but as the e.u. continues to be deep in the red the lure of their original country's economic promise is getting harder to resist and the residents living on this street known as little anatolia say that more and more of their compatriots are thinking of cutting their losses and heading back home like the owner of this snack bar belgian born has been finalizing his plans and is set on relocating his family back to turkey. europe is finished the crisis is getting worse every year it's going to continue first greece then spain italy right now belgium there is a lot of stress lots of taxes bills to pay while in turkey every year turkey is very powerful life is good you can live well why would you want in belgium it's no longer like this and the numbers say it all the e.u. managed a one point six percent growth in two thousand and eleven while turkey was at about
3:20 am
seven point five percent gaining recognition as last year's fastest growing economy in europe while it is expecting a slowdown this year the grass still looks greener on their side and dependence on europe is not quite as it used to be the trade volume used to be very high with the e.u. countries percentage wise that used to be around fifty percent now it has gone down to just over forty percent that means we're diversifying our trade more and more trade with african countries asian countries all around the world and this of course has spurred a lot of growth so we need people to be able to manage this we need qualified people personnel so we see that a lot of people are now coming you know second third generation immigrants are coming back home for this purpose but there's another reason why a growing number of turks want out of the e.u. . now with the crisis what's the result. we're rejecting foreigners obviously now that there are fewer jobs less money what happens is priority is first given to the
3:21 am
belgians and after the foreigners the turks the moroccans the russians my decision to go back to turkey is economic but also because when there's a crisis there is discrimination of the community and yet as this migration trend rises turkey is still officially knocking on the e.u. store its candidacy for membership hanging in the balance for the last twenty five years thanks to a long list of requirements to fulfill and political opposition from some e.u. countries people are afraid that that you will come up with more and more excuses even if we do overcome them people say that the other excuse is not that it matters any longer for some turks that. turkey doesn't need europe it's europe needs turkey in a few years you would see that i mean against turkey becoming part of the e.u. and right now turkey doesn't seem to be in much of a hurry either does or sylvia r.t. brussels. next the sport the grand finale the

a barrel and brant is hovering around one hundred and thirteen and a half financial troubles across the globe don't seem to be dampening most of the olympic games certainly about this year the governments of participating countries will pay millions of dollars to go to those who brought in the medals although we came in as number of four in the medals table it's the most generous when it comes to rewards artie's katie explains that the olympics is now for the winners they have a permanent reminder of the picture is a big shiny metal but what can the champions expect in financial terms with a return to their homelands well that depends on the individual and national a limpid committees who award the own sports stars the u.s. was a country with the most gold winners and the victorious out these can all expect a bonus of. twenty five thousand dollars when they get back to the states in total

that is one point eight million dollars that the u.s. government will be dishing out china hasn't revealed is official bonuses but it's gold winners will reportedly get a fifty one thousand dollar prize for u.k. athletes there's no extra cash to be won but there is a privilege of getting your head on a stamp so it depends what you consider to be more valuable russia has promised out these one hundred thirty five thousand dollars for gold but some athletes can expect even more the russian judo gold champion is i have can look forward to a one million dollar paycheck when he gets home and even countries that are near the bottom of the league table still offer a lowering amounts singapore was hoping a one million dollar bonus would bring a gold medal but it'll have to wait for years for another chance although it hasn't won a medal since nineteen fifty six and the economic crisis isn't downplaying the incentives
