european unity is good to the test as concho greensburg's the breathing space leaving the e.u. leaders deeply split on whether to show that see. civil war breaks across borders or syria's neighbors feel the hate lebanon is among the worst affected by the over a dozen killed and follow up clashes. and how the deadly trend of our going to see this is turning their weapons against nato troops helping to train them is that it gets more challengers to the countries of dreams of the. international news live from moscow this is our she with me our thanks for joining is long considered to taboo to even mention leniency towards greece is now at the top of europe's agenda bottles and bruised by a star is he athens has begged for the you for breathing space and today the

leaders of france and germany will meet to discuss whether to granted but as aussies piece of all of the reports it really is a divisive issue. well over the next few weeks greece could find out its fate in the country's future as a part of the euro that's certainly going to be something that's all for discussion when francois hollande the french president arrives here in berlin for chats with chancellor angela merkel now the two have differing opinions over how the debt crisis in greece should be dealt with as well as across the eurozone in general. chancellor merkel very very big on wanting to see cuts she said that greece must stick to a very rigid plan in order to find eleven over eleven billion euros worth of cuts before the next round of bailout money which is to shortly france warland in france saying this well they're a little bit more flexible when it comes to greece now this meeting is going to

take place here is really to try and make sure that they're both singing from the same song sheet when it comes to what to do with athens it comes of course shortly before the greek prime minister heads to paris for talks with all and hopefully there will be a consensus between germany and france over what to do before then as far as the greeks a concerned they're looking for this next round of bailout money which is worth over thirty billion euros without which well greece is pretty much guaranteed to default and be kicked out of the eurozone all of this up for discussion as it stands at the moment which will be talked about here in berlin what is interesting is over the last few weeks we've seen greece really drop out of the headlines but the the bare facts are that well things haven't improved then it's not being jus two to good news economically that greece hasn't been making headlines things of continue this as badly as ever really with unemployment still on the rise the

country is still in recession and turning over negative growth so the problems in greece haven't gone away the story may have disappeared from the headlines shortly but the problem still there. and that's what's going to be discussed when the french president meets with the german chancellor here in berlin and regardless of whether greece is given more time with tactic to find dant will remain the same aggressive austerity privatized and cuts however angela gavin marshall from the center research on globalization things those reforms will do much more harm than good. if you actually look at the situation what some heiress is complaining about is that he needs more time to implement reforms but what are the reforms there's three words which are use most commonly used austerity adjustment and growth if you simply take the rhetoric follow the policies look at the effects you can actually translate the language into what it actually means so austerity means impoverishment adjustment means exploitation and growth means private profits they

undermine labor they cut pensions cut social security cut health care spending cut all social spending in general hire more people from the public sector privatized the economy privatizing infrastructure privatized the water the electricity something foreign corporations to come in and buy everything up for cheap and this is also that they can get a bailout which the money simply goes to the banks just the interest on the loans to the banks so it's this massive scam and it's illegitimate for him to be saying that we simply need more time to impoverish our population and for those with a fantasy for financial scandals still ahead for you is all kinds of report coming up at seven thirty am and today he's a relentless corruption hunting telling it to america's crisis fighting measures or . the cow has a tube attached from its utter into its mouth that's the ben bernanke is economic

strategy is the sell feeding cal getting bigger and bigger so the quantitative easing is working the fat cats the fat cows on wall street they're getting fatter of course a fat cow generates more detritus through the posterior of the cow which in this case is not fertilizing the economy it is burying the economy in layer after layer after layer of. waste. syria's neighbor is sounding. the alarm is the country's protracted civil war because over the borders and threatens to spiral into a full scale regional conflict lebanon has reportedly deployed combat units to its north where around twelve people have been killed in a series of clashes between pro and anti assad supporters auntie's policia takes a closer look at these spiraling unrest. the crisis in syria continues to spill

situation remains fluid there are at least one hundred and fifty thousand syrian refugees who have crossed over into jordan male currently being housed in a number of temporary refugee shelters along the jordanian the syrian border but jordan is a country with few natural resources it has its own problems of scarcity of water in its own fragile economy and it is struggling to deal with this influx of refugees becomes overcrowded we've also heard reports of the outbreak of tuberculosis and other health risks the international community is struggling to deal with the situation the american president barack obama has warned that if syria moves or uses its chemical arsenal the united states will reconsider its decision not to launch any kind of military action in syria at the same time moscow has said that it cannot be any kind of unilateral action that it needs to. an international response that is agreed to by all sides and that consensus is reached

a similar the region things are very much on the edge and it's not only the spillover of fact it's the fact that lebanon itself is so fragile and not quite a state in terms of not having a real central government that can enforce the laws and having a compromise army. and ceasefire syria's deputy prime minister for economic affairs has warned some outside powers against carrying out threats of intervention and here's a quick look at the full interview coming your way later this hour. yeah it might seem that military force can get you farther than anything else will but in reality it we've all seen that warfare doesn't get you anywhere politically. the situation in syria is very volatile and any instance of armed combat. hostilities is what we need is a simple taney a cease fire that mortars. that would be in line with the kofi annan plan the

geneva arrangement or who is stance of our friends and the attitude of the syrian government is that which is published a resolution calling for national reconciliation what do you burn in. terms of finding stability in afghanistan have suffered a setback after a wayward time some western troops by afghan soldiers around a dozen nato servicemen have been killed in the last couple of weeks alone inflicting further damage to hopes for post toward peace he's in a situation and looks into the reasons behind the deadly trend. the u.s. war in afghanistan is known as the longest military conflict in american history and as u.s. officials hope for a successful exit strategy by the year twenty fourteen an alarming new trend is spiking on the ground indicating that this may not happen so easily u.s. troops have been dying at record rates in so-called insider attacks at the hands of their afghan allies at least ten u.s. troops have been killed in these attacks in the last two weeks alone this makes up

for over thirty percent of u.s. military deaths in august of last year there have been at least forty such deaths in so-called green on blue attacks where members of afghan forces turning against western troops sixty nine people were wounded and one of many attempts to tackle the increasing problem a top u.s. general flew to afghanistan this week to address the issue only to have his plane become the target of a rocket attack experts say it's yet another sign of growing discontent in the war torn country as u.s. president barack obama says more needs to be done to protect u.s. troops from attacks by afghans thought of as partners the question of how exactly this should be done remains an answer afghan officials have been attempting to spy on their own recruits to prevent these incidents but reports are growing that members of the afghan security forces are increasingly switching sides defecting to support the taliban in one recent incident for afghan army officials were charged with supplying arms to the militants some experts explain the increased insider

killings trend as a result of frustration with the length of the war others point to the fact that this comes after several scandals involving the conduct of u.s. troops on the ground from koran burnings to desecrating afghan bodies by you were needing on them and shocking videos that made headlines around the world the afghan war is in its eleventh year and the fact that this year has seen more deaths from insider attacks than ever before seen as a worrying trend for several reasons the attacks have highlighted the disconnect between the u.s. to exit strategy. to transfer most of the fighting power to afghan forces by twenty fourteen but the fact that the situation on the ground continues to be a lot more complicated that some u.s. officials try to down with chaos on the ground the question of whether the u.s. involvement deadline is feasible looms large and. mosque. u.s. based activist and blogger david swanson says washington has created

a permanent state of war in afghanistan this is a war that the united states taxpayers are paying for both sides of we are they not just going to stand but we are paying the taliban in afghanistan for safe passage down roads that's no evidence number one source of income when you're. from both sides of the war a war without a war that is brewing and generating hostility toward your country in afghanistan and in pakistan you know to look for logic is faulty this is that this is the momentum of the military machine that eisenhower warned us about fifty one years ago and it shows no sign of looting not. and plenty more lines of the year in the program including trials by a silence gun tanami detainees appearing at court after they're done from mentioning how they were tortured at toxic aimed at protecting the cia's highly classified interrogation techniques. plus
