that is paid master had z's germany's chancellor is in china seeking investment while trying to convince beijing that the euro was still stable enough to invest in . iran says it will team up with other nations to help stop the bloodshed in syria as a main day of the summit of the nonaligned movement opens into iran despite u.s. criticism. that the rebel opposition in syria will be wiped out sooner or later is this president asad in a t.v. interview but the surgeon seemed no weaker as they continue to fight the army. which are to live from moscow a marina joshie the german chancellor is the latest you leader to be to pass to

china with a huge delegation of business leaders alongside beijing all for a says get a chance as an e. for the struggling european economy to attract the investment it needs to avoid financial catastrophe and anglo marco has become a frequent guest in china aiding to nurture a friendship with economic superpower their all over forts. i'm 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 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 euro zone 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 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 that 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 an increasing economic ties that will top the bill when it comes to anglo merkel talking to the chinese leadership but what will be underlining the meeting is the cruel fact that germany needs china far more right now than china needs germany. now in the meantime euro zone's fourth largest economy spain is reportedly considering whether to ask for another bailout catalonia known for its proud and independent attitude is now seeking over five billion euros of rescue cash from madrid spain the prime minister admitted to the fact that such a wealthy region cannot meet its debt financing obligations it's a big problem because along comes from the fifth of the country's economic output

and author miguel morata believes the whole situation could have been avoided. the way in which the space tax system works it goes this way. it is the central government let's go let's hold the taxes actually ninety five percent of them and reduce them among the different regions. following these. as they call it the reach of regions gets less money the poor regions get more money so. 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 punish the 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 he's. is now performing a very hard agenda of

a study to actually buy all sectors of his funny economy and the problem is that he's not working he'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. let's now get some perspective from natasha our business desk here well it has to if catalonians who are known to be proud and independent and ask for help from driv does that mean that the situation is really desperate there well not in that actually does look pretty desperate and leaving the emotions aside let's just look at the facts callo money is the third region to ask for help but because of the way the spanish tax system was set up catalonia is not only things the wealthiest region it's also its most indebted region so it was just a matter of time before i asked for help overall spain has a six three gens that can no longer tap the international bond markets with

a combined debt of almost one hundred eighty two. dollars so it's as bad as it gets well spain is now actually doing everything possible everything that's in its power not to ask for yet another bailout so how likely is that to happen. well let's try not to ask which we have to realize that what else is the going to do it has slipped into a recession three months earlier than had previously anticipated so catalog is regional government requests for money certainly boosts the chances of spain's national government requesting an additional bailout of its own and so far the bond market is pretty much on the sides it's ignoring the situation it's apparently waiting for a reaction from the european central bank and we think we'll see that a few days all right fair enough thanks very much indeed for this and we'll cross back to you later in the program more business. meantime iran has

proposed the creation of a group of three nations to implement a cease fire in syria and 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 not aligned movement and it'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 u.s. members egypt's new leader mohamed morsi is also in iran after more than three decades of no diplomatic ties transferring the summit's rotating leadership the un secretary general ban ki moon himself is attending the meeting this bite staunch 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 right a surprise of. things to iran is being very courteous to. 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 iran to invite him to to the facility is to bind 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 if our security participation now i'm sure that the united states and israel good likeness to ban ki-moon 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 it'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 that 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 thinking of the united states to this point. coming up a bit later in the program looking for traces of extremism and islamic law the real test nations of two prominent muslim clerics baffle investigators trying to identify the roots of hatred. facelifts taken a literal e we report of how the dreams of one solving engineer of an electric train to the cosmos are growing ever more real. and the fear is 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 the loss of admits it would take some time for the country to scramble out

of the crisis he lashed out at turkey saying a bear is direct responsibility for the watch it in syria and some of the latest fighting has taken place at a military airport in the province where rebels claim to have destroyed a group of army helicopters all this was later denied by syrian t.v. which reported the attack was repelled and the military hardware say sister agnes merriam who spent over a decade in syria and came to aid of the suffering or one of the conflict erupted says armed gangs started causing chaos long ago. i would of thought it is it only shows it's not political. it's not even civilian image an already asked to go to do or position parts where the good were already implemented ok and so i could have an idea as an eyewitness and in the beginning we did not even know who were source people 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 ordered the killings abducting and the many kind you know of metal rods for example they would keep a low if i have seen. in homes or. if luck of blood. because in the day before. people you know source and i did then defied gangs have been beheading nine i know with people just because they want to know if i have seen this with my eyes. while don't miss the full version of this interview with firsthand accounts from syria coming up here in r.t. in just over an 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 their reports dealing with the amounts influx 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 sheltering from the violence back 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 instead 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 their growing number is putting pressure on in a way the refugee way republic we can close the border in the faces of the refugees

we have to help syria is like a sister to jordan and king abdullah and president assad friends now our 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. problems for jordan where we have our own extremists although they're 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 so banned in syria you die quickly but here we are dying a slow death i wish now i never left to come here. jordan narrowly escaped a wave of uprisings that swept the arab world it says it's getting reforms in place . caught between both sides it might not be enough to stop the syria shockwave however that conflict in. is all to me refugee camp on the jordanian syrian border . of course we've got plenty more for you at our website r.t. dot com an in-depth news and analysis available twenty four seven a blast from the past one of germany's largest cities holds its breath as authorities perform

spread of radical ideas among the leavers 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 yes some of the local muslim communities are financed by arab families from states where wacko business 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 live of course not part of the official religion here but i thought the same different ideas often

taught in small mosques hidden from the mainstream. like this one form a boiler house rebuilt into a mosque in one of gazans many apartment blocks the aren't it's a mom's denying being radical but admit 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 looking 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 code 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 that some of prophet muhammad saying how can we expect muslims to react and of course the radicals use this to gain influence. of course start their stand is a long way from becoming involved by the war stuff radical islam how the state reacts to the spread of extremism is now the wrong moves could only worsen the situation you've got going to all of our guys on that our son. now let's take a look at some of the stories from around the world again a stance president has removed the countries the fans and interior ministers as well as the intelligence chief this as a part of a planned cabinet shake up on the eve of elections and the withdrawal of foreign troops meanwhile in the south of the country three nato led troops have been killed

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 or just on barton explains. as strange as it sounds the idea of a space elevator has been around for decades it was the russian yuri azza 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 lowered up and down it at thousands of kilometers an hour and at the fraction of the cost of space flight 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 corp aims to have one up and running by two thousand and fifty in the meantime russia is working with ukraine and kazakstan to try and build super sized 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. sick stuff and straight to the world of business from the mood to the world of business and russia's gazprom has put its giant gas project stuff on hold tell us more about it. well that's absolutely right

stalking when the with its enormous reserves which are enough to meet the world's gas demand for more than a year was gazprom flagship project but now the monopolist and its partners believe the development costs are too high considering that gas prices are falling business artie's that in the protocol has a lot of the details. the freezing of this arctic project once more and to school is how rapidly the global markets are developing nowadays stockmen was a regional intended to ship pipeline gas to europe and liquefied natural gas to the united states by jury in the year as the partners took to negotiate the world so the influx also new alan g. from the gulf contras and then the shale gas revolution in the united states so the project now true lost its export markets in addition the cost of these complex offshore projects read very hard and the three partners found it impossible to even

come to an investment decision this summer still some analysts say that's 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. to project is already exporting elegy to asia and another russian gas producer not attacked by the way together with one of stock months partners the talk is developing a vast ellen g. project in the arctic that insula. and it's found time to check out the markets let's go straight change here where trade started about twenty minutes ago and the european markets opened a flight to negative but have deepened their losses in the first twenty minutes of trade european currency let's check out the currency markets there and it is gaining cheer the u.s.

said it was. we compare this with a regular car with. russell bars. that you would use little invisible discipline played in twenty years time to see everyone priding around the eco pall. mall but that erupts out maybe a little less with that. one. percent. of. the. guys very optimistic indeed having a volatile time it's very hard to deny that it is certainly a good to be great. absolutely i think saving thirty percent on fuel costs is actually a good thing not a bad thing definitely thanks very much indeed a doctor for this see you next hour and plenty more here to come on r t after the headlines stay with us.
