came out through those are to decide whether greece should get more time to sort out its bailout reforms while in germany chancellor merkel's allies say leaving the euro would be no big deal. u.s. special troops are on standby to go into syria following president obama's warning of authorizing intervention if there are signs damascus is moving its chemical arcs . and despite america's countdown to pull out from afghanistan there's a warning that washington is fueling insurgency following a deadly wave of insider attacks against western troops. hello and welcome to our team karen tara broadcasting to you live from our studio in moscow well it's crunch time for greece germany and france prepared to decide

whether to grant athens the breathing space it says it means to sort its finances out the country has been relying on international loans for over two years but it's struggling to meet its bailout conditions meanwhile angle of merkel's allies in berlin say a greek exit one have a great impact on the euro zone peter oliver is there for r.t. 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 jus shortly francois hollande in france saying this well they're a little bit more flexible when it comes to greece though this meeting that's 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 are 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 euro zone 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 have continued as badly as ever really little 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. the great dilemma may be widely discussed at the top right now but one globalization expert told r.t. that getting more time but make no difference to athens this plight the most bankrupt thing in greece is not the country it's the political class and tennis maris is simply the current top dog and bankrupted the us greeks there's three words in the economic crises which are use most commonly used austerity just to reform and grow if you simply take the rhetoric follow the policies and look at the facts you can actually translate the language into what it actually means so i stared congressman i just meant means exploitation and growth means private profits they undermine labor the cutting edge is 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 so that foreign corporations to come in and buy everything up and this is all so that they can get a bailout which the money simply goes to pay the banks just the interest on the loans to the banks. buffering britain and there's now a fog that the u.k. should look east for success more on that in today's cause a report later on are to. tackle easy britain fellow tories tell david cameron david cameron was today challenged by rising star tory m.p.'s to tackle lazy britain and bring in tough new work reforms the m.p. said that the u.k. had to raise its work ethic towards that of south korea singapore and hong kong the tories of course don't want to address the elephant in the room the fact that their

primary donors the banks. financially raped the vast majority of british people for all their worth you know they don't want to talk about that they want to . it's the victim's fault these people are their mother's dollars almost better than the work they get this economy growing that the productivity they go to our productivity in the prison. they owe us has special operations troops in the middle east on standby to enter syria american officials say the military is ready to go in and if the white house decides it needs to secure chemical arms depots under syrian army control president obama earlier threatened that he might order intervention into syria if the regime moves or uses its chemical chemical munitions meanwhile there are fears that direct

foreign and volved in syria's andro are conflict could lead to all out warfare exploding in the region and the numbers of refugees now trying to escape the raging violence that's putting the neighboring countries under strain are most middle east correspondent polis lire looks at the situation in one struggling camp. i'm standing at the zaatari refugee camp on the syrian jordanian border depending on the levels of fighting in syria anywhere between a thousand and three thousand people are fleeing across into jordan each day becoming figures stand at some one hundred and fifty thousand refugees who are coming to in this country the condition in the camps is alarming we're hearing from human rights groups they're talking about a crisis in the making we know that the camp is overcrowded people here are complaining about extreme weather conditions about does it storms and we've also heard a number of incidents of six rassmann in addition to this the jordanian police are investigating the first case of a person dying in the camp when

a fire broke out now jordan is in a very difficult situation and finds itself between a rock and a hard place on the one hand it is providing assistance to these refugees but it has its own very limited resources it has a. the economy it has a basic lack of water in addition to this some of the violence in syria has spread across the border that is why residents of northern towns here in jordan have asked the jordanian officials to look after them particularly in light of a number of shells that recently landed in some of these towns injuring a number of people paul asli r t at the refugee camp on the jordanian syrian border . and another country bearing the effect of the syrian crisis deadly sniper fire in lebanon's northern city of tripoli has violated a shaky truce between pro and anti damascus gunmen at least twelve people have been killed and one hundred wounded in clashes in the area since monday political analyst and lawyer dr franklin lamb who's currently in the capital beirut says

there's an overwhelming fear among people there over fighting spilling over from syria. the concierge of my building who is syrian sometimes hides in my apartment there's been round up of syrian nationals here in beirut in south beirut even into great deal of fear people are saying not since the civil war how have things been is so likely to ignite or the people are feeling so insecure as you know that today we're hood's in tripoli the jamal both for the the. alleyways and the delta bonnie section right down the middle ironically is the name of a big street called syria street and that really tells the tale up there but we have seen in beirut and other parts of the country a similar division 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 that having a real central government that can enforce the laws and having a compromised army. later this hour syria's deputy prime minister for economic affairs tells r.t. that foreign military involvement in a serious crisis won't curb the violence in the region but could make it worse. will you 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 in the situation in syria is very volatile and any instances of armed combat will only escalate the hostilities are always what we need is a civil taney a cease fire in order that would be in line with the kofi annan plan or the geneva arrangement stance of our friends and the attitude of the syrian government is that which is published a resolution calling for national reconciliation will be. stability

in afghanistan is being clouded in doubt following a string of deadly attacks on western troops by afghan soldiers they're supposed at allies as insider violence increases a peaceful transition of power could prove to be a difficult task marty is a necessity a church cannot explain its. 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 wars and its eleventh year and the fact that this year has seen more deaths from insider attacks never 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 downplay with chaos on the ground the question of whether the u.s. involvement deadline is feasible looms large as the party mosque despite a planned troop withdrawal by the end of twenty fourteen u.s. based peace activist and blogger david swanson sees no end in sight to america's war in afghanistan this is a war that the united states taxpayers are paying for both sides of we are they not

just back to stan but we are paying the taliban in afghanistan for safe passage down roads that snow bands number one source of income when you're paying for both sides of the war a war without end a war that is brewing and generating hostility toward your country in afghanistan and in fact is stand you know to look for logic is focused 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 letting up. and still i had abandoned soviet military bases to get a make over from soldiers to safari grounds once used for top secret intelligence are now home to exotic animals and experiences across eastern europe. and in business reckless bankers often buy into the global financial crisis but right now the wall has a natural element to deal with the weather with could cause violence in the

thanks for joining our team it's a quarter past the hour and i lost count on america is looking to be fall but it's been a solid defense systems in asia with a new radar in southern japan and possibly the philippines shield would be similar

to the one in europe and officially aimed against threats from north korea but it's likely to error take china which is already wary about washington's military buildup in its backyard political activist renata rose in the philippines told r.t. that it could ultimately spark a new regional arms race. clearly that you read this being exaggerated by the united states but we can see beyond their authority that the real target here is china and the u.s. wants to justify rebalancing most of its troops towards the region the so-called threats emanating from china are highly suspicious questionable in our in fact just so the u.s. can justify sending more troops and ships here in this region only intended to provide more just typically shown for the permanent an expanded new military presence in our region that's another concern of ours u.s. missile shield. provoke an arms race in the region or to provoke countries like

china and north korea into thinking at the her stands in competing with the united states and deploying more war machines are throughout asia in the that happens that would be a bigger threat to peace than what they. are coming from china and north korea over at our website r.t. if you can find any stories here manifest on air there's a taste of what stories we have on line right now. a religious right that germany finds fault a country is a multi multi images strained further after rabbis charge for a bad procedure. bad mean lasses in montréal demonstrators hope to pin down vote hunting made in politicians every long running feud over school. download the official application itself choose your language stream quality and

torrential rain that's on the way and the authorities have closed schools as a precaution the military is on standby with them maybe it's vehicles to help any relief effort once the storm has passed three years ago the island was devastated by a typhoon which killed seven people. former military soviet military bases that is once teeming with activity during the cold war have been falling into decay in the decades since it ended but some of the compounds are being reclaimed by nature in a very creative way i think say a shift key discovers. beyond the walls of this abandoned stop secret soviet facility in ukraine's republic of crimea it's a totally different world today to cold war times. a local entrepreneur has found a much more peaceful way to use thirty six hectic as of when you space but. this used to be veery of the facility which was top secret here says

a large intelligence was gathered installed and powerful computers but they were now days the scenery is a children's zoo there are many zebras and many pony seen as well as parrots and the monkeys. bought this abandoned base six years ago and turned it into huge safari park unique for eastern europe his animals occupy buildings which were once used by servicemen edger off now lives in what used to be a boiler room for the entire base while former top notch facilities have more exotic inhabitants. this for instance used to be soldiers living quarters there were sleeping rooms here now they're occupied by monkeys and parents take a look at the. new pope is not ashamed to capitalize on the widespread fascination for relics of the soviet era a former red army officer himself he knows that those bases were built to last and this concept certainly sells well that's why his safari park is not only about

enjoying a wild nature experience but also providing more quaint means of entertainment but . if you would remind of what exactly used to be here is this nuclear bomb shelter two sets of amadou was this is the first and this is the second. hundred fifty kilo ton bomb this still in great condition i reserve command point was located here when it was a military base now we have removed into a karaoke room you can see here until dawn nobody will hear from behind these walls . but clearly the. barak's main attraction is a large collection of african lions enjoying themselves in a record structed savannah aleck took us for a rather thrilling walk inside but the more. i thought the saloon safari plant would work very well in the crimean environment and it did and today we have fifty four lines living in our park with thirteen will go out and twenty four cages it

gives a great opportunity for scientific studies i never before have we had such exclusive access to loans in this part of the world we have many difficulties but we're fighting them soon your first year the park has been open for three months now where by the way there's a little back nasty looking behind you that. while former soviet bases are taking over by nato to become once again militarily operational zuckoff is now thinking of turning another abandoned facility in crimea into an animal theme park and despite having already opened several zoos across the peninsula he says he is not in it for the profit there was more of this but. this has become a long still you know i guess you do want to have a military background and be a little bit crazy to take a little bit like this and if it was to love animals you know my main aim is to learn to communicate with the animals and it seems to be working just fine. we are

of one blood you and me on. reporting from crimea ukraine and as they call bull economic crisis rumbles on freakish weather conditions are causing more financial woes across now if you are a business desk a to tell us more hi there carol that's right well now hall of the united states is in drought and glad exporter russia just cut its harvest after more flash floods now we report on fears of violence in the developing world as food prices continue to spiral out of control. every year my weekly food stand is growing and much faster than my salary but there are fears that these here the price of food will increase sharply and not only because of a poor crop harvest in russia but also a bad drought in the united states who are in prices have already discounted rockets at sixty percent in the past two months but why should we care that's

because most corn is used to feed livestock and that means that very soon needs and poultry could also become more expensive as well as many corn based snacks and cereals global food prices jumped six percent in july alone the biggest monthly hike in three years and may not make you eat less if you live in europe all the united states as people there have more disposable income but in the developing world where people spend up to eighty percent of their budgets on food some of war and that's the spikes in the cost of basic products could even call the riots and social andress as we saw in a similar scenario back in two thousand and eight. and experts warn that the worst is yet to come even though prices for several foods are already at record highs you could see maybe another twenty five to thirty percent to the upside the way it feels we could see it soybeans at twenty dollars we can see quorn well over ten

dollars it's very difficult for traders when we start to see the market breaking out and getting into a parabolic move to look for a high but you know what i could see another twenty five to thirty percent just based off of the in the opinion of the farm community here in the states and again when you couple that with what's going on around the rest of the world and you hear what the glencore is of the world are saying then i think we have to accept that as maybe fact. ok time to step into the world of the markets that i was start off with the european bourses are really the hopes of monetary stimulus in the u.s. is helping to drive the stock market into positive territory as you can see just that although weak euro zone manufacturing data is pulling those stocks of that. highs on the euro we'll see how the common currency is before we desire is managing to get a one twenty five to sixty one as for the russian group goal is having a mix performance it's hard gets us started sneezing a fraction against the euro right on us for the equity markets and it's been

a shock the week for the russian markets as you can see that we're looking at days today as the markets here had for a three month high and that's because brant oil is now growing over sent into days session. i'm moving on now despite china's economic slowdown acquisitions of u.s. businesses are at record highs a new report finds eight billion dollars in chinese takeovers a ship blocking the sluggish go and a market now china's economy is still growing it eight percent compared to america's one point five percent. on the world next or still paradise is. the baltic states some lashes taxes from next year it cuts rates and scraps dividends tax to get global funds to set up russia in particular to to shift some of their cash from current favorite site breasts and i used to live in that reminiscent to me

a very pretty place i'll be back in about fifty five minutes very different than moscow. just ahead as promised an insight into how to solve syria's ongoing violence when we talk to one of the country's deputy prime minister stay with us.
