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 fragile 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. at the refugee camp on the jordanian syrian border. well 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 government there 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 is currently in the capital beirut told me there's no overwhelming fear among people there about fighting spilling over from syria. the concierge of my building who is syrian sometimes hides in my

apartment they've been round up of syrian national council here in beirut in south beirut even into great deal of fear our people are saying not since the civil war how things been is so likely to ignite or the people are feeling so insecure as you know that two neighborhoods in tripoli the job almo third for the the shia are al always and the garble to bonnie section right down the middle ironically is the name of the big street cause serious 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 not having a real

a central government that can enforce the laws and having a compromise army dr franklin lamb later this syria's deputy prime minister for economic affairs speaks to us and says the foreign military involvement in serious crisis won't curb violence in the region but could make it worse. yeah it might seem that military force can get you farther than anything else but in reality it we've all seen that warfare doesn't get you anywhere politically. the situation in syria is very volatile in any instance of armed combat will only escalate the hostilities a war which is what we need is a similar taney a cease fire with mortars which would be in line with the kofi annan plan the geneva arrangement the stance of our friends and the attitude of the syrian government is that which is published a resolution calling for national reconciliation. stability in afghanistan has been clouded in doubt after

a string of deadly attacks on western troops by afghan soldiers they're supposed allies as inside a violence increase from sition of power could prove to be a difficult task. explains more. 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 unanswered 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 or 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 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 downplay with chaos on the ground the question of whether the u.s. involvement deadline is feasible looms large as the party mosque. back again now despite a planned troop withdrawal by the end of twenty fourteen u.s. based peace activist and blogger david swanson sees no end inside 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 now advance number one source of income when you're paying for both

sides of the war a war without end a war that is ruining and generating hostility toward your country in afghanistan and in pakistan 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. still ahead abandon soviet military bases get a make over from soldiers to safari grows once shoes for top secret intelligence are now home to exotic animals and unique 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 which could cause violence in the developing world if food prices continue to soar john in ten minutes.

russia's asking the u.s.

to extradite business from vick to boot to serving twenty five years in the states for conspiring to supply anti american guerrillas in colombia the man widely labeled in the american media as the merchant of death for maintains his innocence though insisting his trial was purely political life to artie's miniport meyer in new york has been following the latest twists and turns of this long running case i'm reading what kind of chance is there that he will be handed over to moscow end of the day. well considering that the u.s. has spent many years and millions of dollars hunting down boot these chances for russia are quite challenging as you mentioned moscow has filed an official request with the department of justice asking for the extradition of victor boot to moscow to russia rather and that was with the permission of the group himself and his family was saying that their russian citizen will serve out his twenty five year sentence in his homeland that is what is being requested as our viewers might

remember victor boot was arrested in march two thousand and eight in thailand during a sting operation carried out by the u.s. drug enforcement agency u.s. officials say that it was attempting to sell weapons to members of the colombian fork which would have been allegedly used to kill americans victor good all along has maintained that he is innocent despite the fact that i thai government found him not guilty two times the u.s. still managed to extradite victor boot to the united states at the end of two thousand and ten without notifying russia without notifying the attorney without notifying victor boots family hording to documents that were released by wiki leaks some time ago if there was indications that the u.s. was putting a lot of pressure on thailand thailand government to get victor boot many argue that what the u.s. did was a violation of international law and nonetheless mr boot a russian businessman was tried here in the u.s.

and found guilty sentenced to twenty five years in prison and all along victor boot his attorneys and his supporters believe that the cards were stacked against him because in two thousand and five many will made many may remember there was a hollywood movie put out in theaters called lord of war and nicolas cage the actor was playing a character that he said was based on victor boot. and victor boot following that movie was dubbed the merchant of death so when he went into court for his trial many believe that the stocks the chances of him getting a fair trial were unlikely because many knew him or thought of him as a villain to begin with because of hollywood because of the information the u.s. government was painting about him following his sentencing earlier this year our team did speak exclusively with victor boot and he said that his his his his circumstance and the fact that he is being he's being held in an american prison

shows the on fairness of the u.s. justice system in the fact that he believes he has been used as a political pawn. broker rick perry for purely political marker of. you know for american draft of. american comic. now as far as we know it still has not been clear or indicated by any u.s. officials how they believe they had the legal right to extradite victor boot a russian citizen from thailand to the u.s. that was a move that many scholars and even international lawyers extradition experts still can't explain the u.s. themselves have not explained this which is one of many reasons why russia saying that this is a russian citizen and is asking for him to be extradited to russia to serve out his

a look at some other international news this first to africa and the massacre that shocked kenya to rival communities are mostly brought together to try to settle the tension which saw fifty two people brutally slaughtered women and children were burned alive or hacked to death in their huts when the village came under attack the two warring communities of long fought over land and water but this is by far the worst violence and post-election fighting flared up four years ago. taiwan's brace for the arrival of typhoon tembin with more than three thousand people evacuated now to safe areas the military is on standby with amphibious vehicles to try to help any relief effort once the storm passed three years ago the island was devastated by a type of field seven hundred. former soviet military bases once teeming with activity during the cold war have been falling into decay in the decade since then ended but some of the compounds are being reclaimed by nature in a very creative way as a lecturer jeff ski found out for us. 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 the area of the facility which was top secret here socialize intelligence was gathered installed and powerful computers but they were now days the scenario is a children's zoo there are many zebras and many ponies here 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 people. who cook 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 the nuclear bomb shelter two sets of aman to do was this is the first and this is the second we could civil suit here hundred fifty kilo ton bomb this still in great condition i reserve command point was located here where it was a military base now we have removed it into a karaoke room you can see here until dawn and nobody will hear from behind these walls. but clearly the. park'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 we did today we have fifty four lines living in our park thirteen with twenty four cages it gives a great opportunity for scientific studies of never before have we had such exclusive access to loans in this part of the world we have many difficulties which we are fighting very soon your first year in the park has been open for three months now and we were by the way there's still lurking 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's not in it for the profit there was more than that but. this

has become a long still you know i guess you do want to have and military background and be a little bit crazy to take on the whole they learn. 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 twenty. r.t. reporting from crimea ukraine. but like you for ok first every business now is the global economic crisis rumbles on freakish weather conditions causing more financial woes to coin a phrase k.d. it never rains but it pours are absolutely and quite right here in russia actually kevin because that is exactly why the harvest is being cut because of these last floods that are big going on and it's quite the opposite case over in the u.s. because they're now dealing with the worst drought in more than half a century now economics aside there's now sees

a violent breaking out in the developing world as food prices begin to spiral out of control so with the details tatiana this is going to tell us more. 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 corn prices have already this kind of 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 meat 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 budget on food something more and that spikes in the cost of basic products could even cause the riots and social andress as we saw in a similar scenario back in two thousand and eight and of all of that sounds bad but so warning that the was is yet to come. we 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. and staying with us is check out the stock speculation remains the word of the day as investors are really speculating whether an all central banks will ease monetary policy also the big question european leaders be able to solve the region's debt crisis that all meeting today european stocks then let's see how they finished up the day as they get set to close up is the make spanish the footsie just about managed to get up in positive territory the german finance minister dampened optimism that greece will get more time to cut its debts. but we hear it's continuing to climb meanwhile the ruble finished up makes against the basket of currencies the exit markets here in moscow finished up on the high today and that's really as oil continues it would climb as you can see just that i were going to talk about fear them because if you go back to cash that's where you might want to go because it's becoming the next paradise as the baltic states slashes taxes for next year it cuts rates and scraps divisions to get global firms to set up rushed

in to take kill or to to shift some of their cast from current favorite sites. pretty place to put cash kevin is that they did it for themselves for a nice. head of insight into how to sew series on going to one of the country's deputy prime ministers the big names talk to us here on this channel. from moscow.
