the e.u. paymaster has eased germany's chancellor is in china seeking investment while trying to convince beijing that the euro is still stable enough to invest in. iran says it will team up with other nations to help stop the bloodshed in syria as the main day of the summit of the nonaligned movement opens into iran despite u.s. criticism. and the rebel opposition in syria will be wiped out sooner or later says president asad in a t.v. interview but the insurgency now weaker as they continue to fight the army. ten am in the russian capital watching our team with me wearing a joshie the german chancellor is the latest to beat a path to china with

a huge delegation of business leaders alongside offers as good a chance as any for the struggling european economy to attract the investment it needs to avoid financial catastrophe and marco has become a frequent guest in china aiming to nurture a friendship with economic superpower are displayed all over has more. is no stranger to china this is her sixth trip to the country since she came to power in two thousand and five and there's going to be some big business to be talked about during this current trip and it's not just politicians that are there on this visit a group of around twenty in the delegation including people like siemens and volkswagen who are all there to show that the eurozone still is a stable market to invest in but china has its own vested interest in seeing the eurozone stick together europe is china's biggest export market so they will be support there from beijing to keeping the monetary union together but just expect

some kind words they shouldn't be any talk of cash coming forward from china to help the ailing euro zone now there is talk of a special relationship between germany and china not unsettle some people in brussels who feel a little left out and when you look at the figures you can see why some nations would be feeling like they're not getting a slice of the pie a trade between the two countries is set to rise to around two hundred and eighty billion dollars by the year twenty fifteen well the reason that the to make such good economic bedfellows at the moment is that germany produces the machinery needed for china's manufacturing industry germany also sees china as a growing market full day or exports since the orders have started drying up from within europe due to the people simply not having the cash to buy german goods within the european union and within the euro zone monetary union it's not all going to be happy families though when angela merkel meet with the chinese

leadership there have been some claims from german companies that there has been political interference while they're working within china also some of the companies claiming that has been intellectual property violations from their chinese partners so will be the eurozone crisis on increasing economic ties the. it's will top the bill when it comes to talking to the chinese leadership who will be underlining the meeting is the cruel fuck that germany needs china far more right now than china needs germany put all of our reporting there in the meantime euro zone's fourth largest economy spain is reportedly considering whether to ask for and now there are a bailout catalonia known for its proud an independent appetite is now seeking over five billion euros of rescue cash from madrid and spain's prime minister admitted the pad that such a wealthy region cannot meet its debt financing obligations is a big problem had a lot to account for almost a fifth of the country's economic output. believe the whole situation could have

been avoided. the way in which the spice tax system works it goes this way. it is the central government that's collects all the taxes actually ninety five percent of them and then pretty stupid them among the different regions. following the. great c.d.o. as they call it the reach of regions gets less money the poor regions get more money so that's a load which actually gets back very a small amount of the money it keeps to the central estate and that is why they have these huge steps so what they say is that there is not really there that is that they have to respond to state of the debt that this financial state has decided them to have so what they want as they put it not alone not not money from all the other people's pockets but they won just more money from their own pockets of spain and. is now performing a very hard agenda of

a study to actually bite in all sectors of its funny economy and the problem is that it's not working it's not bringing down the deficit which is the main targets and then as i say he's damaging all the aspects of spain's economy. right let's see how bad the situation really is and the. has all the information for us so that you know if catalonians i mean no one for you to be proud and independent people are asking madrid for money does that mean that this iterations really dire there well it looks pretty desperate first of all catalonia is the third region to ask for help but because of the way the spanish system of tax system is set up catalonia is not only spain's while theist region it fulfilled the most indebted regions so it's just a matter of time overall spain has six regions that can no longer tap the international markets with a combined debt over almost one hundred eighty two billion dollars or the

equivalent of so that is pretty bad. loan is asking spain for money and spain is also well trying not to ask for more money from the euro zone how likely is that to happen well it looks like it's probably going to have to spain has slipped into a recession three months earlier than had previously anticipated so catalonia is regional government's request for money certainly boosts the chances of spain national government requesting an additional bailout of its own but the one market so far pretty much ignoring the situation there waiting for a reaction from the european sold bank will see that in the coming days money you know. absolutely will thanks very much indeed and we'll cross to you later for more business news here on r.t. for now though thank you very much. in other news that we're following for you here in r.t.e. iran has proposed the creation of a group of three nations to implement

a cease fire in syria they would then hold three months of talks on national reconciliation the idea comes as the country opens the main sessions as host of the summit of the nonaligned movement that's a bloc of states that generally don't consider themselves in union with the u.s. the gathering began last sunday with one hundred twenty nations participating about two thirds of the un's members the un secretary-general ban ki-moon himself was attending the meeting the spy stanch calls from the u.s. and israel for him to stay away at the same time a special group of inspectors has been created by the united nations to monitor iran's nuclear facilities riders' the rise of a poor overage thinks to iran is being very courteous. the i.a.e.a. has a twenty four hour around the clock monitoring system off of facilities mr ban ki-moon can watch it from his office at the united nations so i think that is just a great courteous gesture on behalf of humanity inviting to the facility to buy

ki-moon does recognize the fact and he has said so that iran is a key player in the region and nothing much really can be solved you found to iran's participation now i'm sure that the united states and israel would like mr by human to come down hard on iran but he's also aware of the fact there's two thirds of the countries that belong to the united nations are member countries of the nine aligned movement the united states state department likes to say many things and i think that's precisely because they do tend to be very aggressive in their foreign policy towards certain countries in particular although i think they have the whole goal in mind they would love to be a global hamonic power with the nonaligned movement now is one hundred percent coming together to resist this kind of aggression to resist this kind of double standards and hypocrisy and i think that's probably really taking off the united

states to this point. coming out a bit later in the program looking for traces of extremism and islamic russia recent assassinations of two prominent muslim clerics baffle investigators trying to identify the roots of hatred. as facelift taken literally we report on how the dreams of one song engineer of an electric train to the cosmos are growing ever more real. amid the fierce battles between government forces and rebels syria's president made his longest t.v. appearance in months stressing his confidence in victory over insurgents however bashar asad admitted it would take some time for the country to scramble out of a crisis he lashed out at turkey saying it bears direct responsibility for the bloodshed in syria some of the latest fighting has taken place in a military airport in the province where rebels claim to have destroyed a group of army helicopters this was later denied by syrian t.v.

which reported the attack was repelled and the military hardware say sr on this mario has spent over a decade in syria and came to aid of the suffering when the conflict erupted says armed gangs started causing chaos long ago. our authority is that only shows it's not political. it's not even to be an image an already asked to go to do or position parts where the good work or mentored ok and so i could have. an eyewitness and in the beginning we did not even nor wordsworth cooper and we said said those people there were only identified the gangs you know we said we don't know who they are but they are spreading. these order the. abducting and the many kind you know. towards. to

destabilize the country and almost saw to implement a kind of punishment what is even war i have seen this with my eyes. don't miss the full version of this interview with firsthand accounts from syria coming up here on r.t. a little later this hour jordanian security forces at a massive refugee camp on the border with syria are on high alert after two hundred refugees turned on the guards over the camp's conditions as follows the reports dealing with immense and folks of refugees is far beyond what jordan can offer. exhausted and drained there's not much for these refugees to do besides swelter under the scorching desert sun children from the vine and spec home in syria they walked for days in the heat to get here and so they come in numbers and under the wire not one person here has gone through the official borders in state depending

on the level of violence in syria as many as a thousand people each day are fleeing across into jordan they're picked up from the border by the jordanian police and brought here to the scamp. and now a man doesn't know what to do with them the country is struggling with few natural resources little water and is in need of foreign aid they're growing number is putting pressure on in a way the refugee way republic we can close the border on the faces of the refugees we have to help them syria is like a sister to jordan i'm king abdullah and president assad friends now king is in a very difficult situation goes on there has a direct impact on what has. relations between a man in damascus are already strained a number of defected soldiers and senior officers are being sheltered in the kingdom the most high profile refugee was the prime minister riyad hitch up who fled to turkey through jordan earlier this month and then that the tribes who fearing massive amounts of weapons ammunition and sniper rifles to syria from

jordan saudi arabia is promising economic assistance in exchange for months cooperation but it could backfire. if there is regime change in syria and the extremists come to power this will make problems for jordan where we have our own extremists far more flexible. and so now jordan faces the backlash of a conflict which some in the country have helped to escalate meanwhile more than one hundred fifty thousand refugees remain stuck on its borders and what's supposed to be a safe enclave but we food is hard to come by toilets case and not enough tends to go around leaving some to the mercy of harsh desert conditions this is. the atmosphere here is so. mysterious you die quickly but here we are dying a slow death i wish now i never left to come here. jordan narrowly escaped the wave of uprisings that swept the arab world it says it's getting reforms in place.

two prominent muslim clerics in russia some experts believe the roots of extremism lead all the way to the middle east but others say the threat from anti islamic hatred is even stronger orcus cannot investigate the trip to work that turned to tragedy that our stance had moved he was driving when a series of blasts threw him from his car the man who's been openly against the spread of radical ideas among the lever survived to find out his deputy was shot dead in another part of town investigators still don't know the exact motivation behind the attack but the spotlight is now on the other stun most people here are muslim and that gets mentioned more and more when it comes to the spread of radical islam in russia just some of the local muslim communities are financed by arab families from states where whack a bit is an official religion the money has to be worked off and they demand their ideology is spread here. like a business is one of the most fundamental branches of islam it's strongly advocated

in saudi arabia which backs it up with billions of dollars of support across the muslim world its followers often oppose all other religions sometimes even calling for jihad holy war against them but any other radical movement of us lot of course not part of the official religion here but i thought he saw a different ideas often taught in small mosques hidden from the mainstream. like this one form a boiler house we built into a mosque in one of gazans many apartment blocks we aren't it's a mom's denying being radical but admitting they do not support their stance of visual branches of islam. we don't divide brother muslims and there can be no radicalism no terrorism these are words only used by prove a kidders who want to discredit islam. we were told here believers are taught sincerely any quality and there are no longer up held in modern society with justice can only be achieved through islam and when someone says islam is the only

fair way of life and social order they're called radical or extremist and what's the punishment for stealing the hand is chopped off. not the kind of punishment you'd find in russia's criminal court nevertheless such ideas are reportedly gaining more support among young muslims for some experts it could be partly to blame on how the list of banned extremist literature was thrown together. often in books by classical world famous authors are banned or in some of prophet muhammad saints how can we expect muslims to react and of course the radicals use this to gain influence. of course there stone is a long we going to buy the war stuff radical islam how the street reacts to the spread of extremism is now key in the room could only worsen the situation you go to school of. don't understand now so go get some other stories from around the

you and thanks very much indeed for this looking forward to more sports news later . now have you ever dreamt of taking a lift straight to the moon well after over fifty years of space elevator dreams their reality is moving closer the goal is to have people travel in vehicles attached to ribbons of super strong material to reach orbits of up to one hundred thousand kilometers explains. as strange as it sounds the idea of a space elevator has been around for decades it was a russian yuri arts' a turn of who in the one nine hundred sixty s. had some of the first modern ideas on it first you would have to send a satellite up into geostationary orbit then a line could be lowered and secured to earth and another one up into space as a counterweight all of this would keep the line tight and allow spacecraft to be loaded up and down it thousands of kilometers an hour at the fraction of the cost of spaceflight it could literally be our lift to the stars and it's not far off as

you might think most of the technology already exists the biggest problem being that cable reaching out into space to make one strong enough to stretch the thirty six thousand kilometers necessary scientists think you'd need a material over thirty mega yury strong that's the measurement named after yuri arts the turn of the strongest material available now is just three point nine but new projects are trying to solve that science problem and make the space elevator a reality they want it to reach the moon the american company live port is raising money for the project and the japanese firm corporation aims to have one up and running by two thousand and fifty in the meantime russia is working with ukraine in kazakstan to try and build super size booster rockets for more traditional trips to the moon but who knows by the middle of the century we might have swapped iraq it's for a distant cousin of the humble lift. and straight to the business news russia's gas brand has put his giant gas projects south man on hold lets out

a large national that's absolutely right now gazprom says that the development costs are extremely high and it doesn't make any economic sense although stockman has enormous reserves enough to meet global gas demand for almost one here that's how the political over has all the details. the freezing of this arctic project once more and to schools how rapidly the global markets are developing nowadays stockland was originally intended to ship pipeline gas to europe and liquefied natural gas to the united states by jury in the year as the partner stooped to negotiate the world for the influx of new alan g. from the gulf countries and then is shale gas revolution in the united states so the project now truly lost its export markets in addition the cost of this complex offshore project read very hard and the three partners found it impossible to even

come to an investment decision this summer still some analysts say that the stuff with exit is a positive sign as it signals off more pragmatic commercial thinking by gazprom but russia is not left without its high tech liquefied natural gas production gazprom to project is already exporting l.n.g. to asia and another russian gas producer not attack by the way together with one of stock months partners the talk is developing a vast elin's you project in the arctic you model that in salon. and let's go now straight to the equity markets and we'll start with rush hour which just launched this trading session about twenty minutes ago and so far equities and russia are trading mixed as you can see the my sex is a quite upbeat oh though it's more like flying too positive the r.t.s. is losing ground almost

a quarter percent within the first twenty minutes of trade asian equities are trading lower this thursday in tokyo than a k. is down to just under one percent mainly on the weaker than expected retail numbers hong kong's hang seng a's even deeper in the red a lot of investors are under

your. i know i'm now joined by an echo that i probably missed the bases might as well a few now by i decide what the challenge is now being over come them what you think is that all the shit about buying an electric car here must that if it really will if they give it a whirl i decide. what the scene here is the first song. would lend us the tests of all. rushing from one cause to mind the split second rate was not heard we compare the car with the with the regular car that would lead. to russia will want to buy

a gun that you would lose badly in this car so discipline played in twenty years time to see everyone priding around the eco follow up on the ball but that erupts out maybe a little less with that one but when i am upset or send it to something hours away i would like a very optimistic indeed i think about all of that it's very hard to deny that it is certainly a good to be great. and that's it for now see you in fifteen minutes all right thanks very much indeed for this see you next hour. well there's plenty more to come your way and i'll be back shortly with headlines to go ahead.
