more news today in harlem since once again flared up. these are the images cold world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations are on the

day. if. paymaster heads east germany's chancellor is in china seeking investment trying to convince beijing that the euro is still stable enough to invest. main de main is scandal syrian officials walk out of the nonaligned summit in tehran as egypt's president morsi lashes out at assad's government calling it oppressive. and the rebel opposition in syria will be wiped out sooner or later this according to

president assad in a recent t.v. interview. as they continue to. international news live from moscow city center this is our with me rory sushi welcome to the program the german chancellor is the latest e.u. leaders have beat a path to china with a huge delegation of business leaders alongside offers a good chance struggling european economy to basically attract the investment that it needs to avoid financial catastrophe and has become rather a frequent guest in china i mean to nurture a friendship with the economic superpower. now reports. 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 they 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 stable market to invest in but china has its own vested interest in seeing the eurozone stick together europe is china's biggest export markets so they will be support. 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 some people in brussels who feel a little left out 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 to 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 eurozone monetary union so will be the eurozone crisis an increasing economic ties will top the bill when it comes to talking to the chinese leadership will be underlining the meeting is the cruel fact that germany needs china far more right now than china needs germany. that is pretty well reporting right there well in the meantime europe's fourth largest economy that of spain reportedly considering whether to ask for yet another bailout catalonia known for its proud and independent attitude is now seeking over five

billion euros of rescue cash from madrid spain is a prime minister admitted the fact that such a wealthy region cannot made me to debt funding supplications is rather a large problem catalonia accounts for almost a fifth of the country's economic output. though believes the whole situation could have easily been avoided. the way in which the spice tax system works it goes this way. it is the central government that collects all the taxes actually ninety five percent of them and then pretty stupid then among the different regions. following the great c.d.o. as they call it the reach of regions gets less money and the poor regions get more money so that's a load euro which actually gets back very a small amount of the money it keeps to the to the central estate and that is why they have these huge steps so what they say is that their depth is not really there that is the depth of the spanish the state of the debt that the spanish estate 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 spain he's essentially is now performing a very hard agenda of a steady two cats and that is actually bites in all sectors of a spanish economy and the problem is that is not working is 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. but let's get some more analysis on this there's the natasha finance guy the aussie business does good to see you today let's let's focus in on this whole issue with spain and possible bailouts and as i was saying a moment ago catalonia accounting for roughly a fifth. of the country's economic output this must be a drastic situation for them to find themselves and while it is pretty drastic and let's separate the emotions from the facts first of all catalonia is the third region to ask for help and because of the way the spanish tax system is set up

catalonia is not only spain's wealthiest region it's also the most indebted region so it was just a matter of time before was going to ask for help and overall spain has six three johns that can no longer tap the international bond markets with a combined debt of almost one hundred two billion dollars what the equivalent there of so it's pretty. well pretty bad as you say but you know you talk about greece italy and portugal you know all these all these nations are struggling at the moment and now spain is doing everything possible perhaps to save some face or not osc for yet another bailout i mean how likely is it that while it's trying not to ask but spain has slipped into recession three months earlier than it had previously anticipated catalonia is regional government's request for money certainly boost the chances of spain's national government requesting an additional bailout of its own but the bond market so far is pretty much ignoring the situation

there waiting for a reaction from the european central bank which should come within days and of course we'll keep you posted on not us well or very good natasha in your sky we'll see you soon for the business. but for now syrian officials walked out of the nonaligned summit after the gyptian president called the government in damascus quote oppressive the gathering in iran that was made up of a third of the u.n. members who don't consider themselves part of any world power block host tehran used the meeting to propose creating a three nation group comprising of themselves egypt and venezuela to try and help in the syrian conflict with the u.n. chief by ki-moon who's at the meeting. despite u.s. objections says iran can play a role in holding the war in syria that's iran's on international issues including its disputed nuclear program or also part of the ongoing discussions iran's supreme leader ayatollah khamenei stressed his country is not seeking atomic weapons but

won't under any circumstance give up its right to peaceful nuclear energy or right to put it over and things to iran is actually being quite courteous. the i.a.e.a. has a twenty four hour around the clock monitoring system off the facilities and 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 the facilities mr brime ki-moon does recognize the fact and he has said so this iran is a key player in the region and nothing much really can be solved few thousand iran's participation and 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 align movement 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 and pretty clear 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 thinking of the united states to this point. or is it is just one in ten minutes past the hour here in moscow just on the come for you how a dream for a better life can just make matters worse. syria you die quickly but here we are dying a slow death. a report on the fate of tens of thousands of refugees fleeing from violence in syria meeting despair on arrival and then you. are looking for traces of extremism in islamic russia recent assassinations of two prominent muslim

clerics and battle investigators trying to identify the roots of hatred. now a 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 al assad admitted it would take some time for the country to scramble out of the crisis but he lashed out at turkey saying it bears direct responsibility for the bloodshed in syria some of the latest fighting has taken place at an army airport in the province where the rebels are reportedly destroyed ten government fighter jets a similar attack on another local airport was repelled down the military hardware saved sister agnes mariam who actually spent over a decade in syria and came to the aid of the suffering when the conflict erupted as armed gangs started causing chaos a long time ago. i would of thought it is that it's not political.

it's not even civilian in january i asked to go to do opposition party where the good were already implemented and so i could have. and i witnessed and in the beginning we did not even know who were those people and we said those people there were. identified the gangs you know we said we don't know who they are but they are spreading. these a lot of the. abducting and the many kind you know of towards what example they would. have seen. in homes. if not of blog but because. the day before. you know the source then deified gangs have been beheading nine i know with

people just because they want to know if i have seen this with my eyes. or not i have missed out on the full version of this interview with first hand accounts from deep inside syria that's coming up in about twenty minutes right here on r.t. . for a while there were 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 and as are his policy of reports dealing with the immense influx of refugees is far beyond what jordan can handle. exhausted and drained there's not much for these refugees to do besides swelter under the scorching desert sun children from the vine inspect 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 an already 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 present assad friends now our king is in a very difficult situation it goes on there has a direct impact on what happens here 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 and this will make 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. the atmosphere here is so so band mysteria you die quickly but here we are dying a slow death i wish now i never left to come here. it says it's getting. caught between both sides. to stop the serious

shockwave. camp on the jordanian border. of course we have plenty more for you on our website. for example a blast from. a passenger plane. miscommunication almost resulted in. for example a. good

good to have you with us here on r.t. today the killing of a prominent muslim cleric and russia's southern republic of dagestan indicates a steady rise in extremist activity that's according to security officials that the attack came on tuesday when a female suicide bomber made her way into the mufti's residence unimpeded and then set off the explosives tied to her body has also been fueled by an earlier double assault on muslim figures in their public of tatarstan some experts believe the roots of extremism lead all the way to the middle east others though say the threat from hatred could be even stronger. investigates. the trip to work the tragedy that our stance had moved he was driving when a series of blasts threw him from his core the man who's been openly against the spread of radical ideas among the leavers survived to fly in on 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 to other stuff on most people here are muslim and that gets mentioned more and more when it comes to the spread of radical islam in washington. some of the local muslim communities are financed by arab funds from states where work is an official religion the money has to be worked off and they demand their ideology is spread here that many local 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 forwards often oppose all other religions sometimes even calling for jihad holy war against them but it isn't or any other. radical movement of us law of course not part of the official religion here but i thought you see different ideas often taught in small mosques hidden from the me. like this one form

a boiler house we build into a mosque in one of gazans many apartment block you aren't it's the moms denying radical but admit they do not support their stance official 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 as. we were told here believers are taught to 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 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 saints how can we expect muslims to react and of course the radicals use this to gain influence. of course there are those that are is only we going to blow the worst of radical islam how the street reacts to the spread of extremism is no key in the room use could only worsen the situation you would behoove already don't understand or to twenty minutes past the hour here in the russian capital two women have been stabbed to death in central russia and the words free pussy riot scrawled in blood on the wall of the murder scene the middle aged woman and her elderly mother were stabbed dozens of times in cars on police say they were left almost quote beyond recognition authorities are investigating whether the murderer was a supporter of pussy riot three members of course of the notorious russian punk

band jailed for two years for hooliganism motivated by religious hatred earlier this month of course it comes out of a station anti putin stand in the country's main cathedral. or let's go straight into the r.t. world update now or start with afghanistan's president he's removed the country's defense and interior ministers as well as the intelligence chief this is a part of a plan cabinet shake up on the eve of elections meanwhile in the south of the country three nato led troops have been killed by an afghan soldier the latest in a series of so-called insider attacks and in a separate incident a helicopter crash killed two international service members in the region. a gas explosion at a coal mine in southwest china has taken the lives of nineteen living more than forty people trapped inside the blast happened wednesday evening while one hundred fifty two miners were in the pit the owners of the mine have already been detained at celta mostly coal mine accidents just like this that have

a killed almost two thousand people in china last year it's a place where often safety rules are neglected. a new storm is headed south korea just days after the deadly typhoon battered the korean peninsula the first killed at least eighteen in the country and drove two chinese fishing. ships ashore crops were severely damaged and almost four thousand trees toppled in north korea the second typhoon is expected to hit the communist state on friday. i'd rather let's have a bit of you know neal how about that our fun and games have begun in earnest once again though in london you know the fourteenth paralympics kicking off with little fun for me little or no fanfare is a massive event now isn't it what are we what are we expecting over the next twelve days yeah there's going to be a lot to expect most of all rory i think it's going to be sports that you simply don't see every day that's the most wonderful thing when i see it's you wheelchair rugby or my personal favorite goalball which is a mix of one ball and bowling with

a one point five kilogram ball being throwing each competitors head bear in mind they're blind as well it's going to be incredible the pictures you're seeing now of the opening ceremony a real spectacular a for really celebrating the world parlett big community from start to finish we've got more from our team in london on not in a run twenty minutes time here on sports today looks like a really fun time you know looking forward to a bulletin soon. or it's ever dreamed of taking a lift straight to the moon or after fifty years of space elevator dreams the reality could well be moving a bit closer but the goal is to have people traveled in vehicles attached to ribbons of super strong material to reach orbits of up to one hundred thousand kilometers sounds pretty fantastic is ati's time to. 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 loaded up and down it at thousands of kilometers an hour and a 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 lift 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 sized booster rockets for more traditional trips to the moon but who knows by the middle of the century we might have swapped our rockets for a distant cousin of the humble lift. of the business or there's a touch of good to see you again russia is a gas from has put its giant gas projects stockmen on hold any particular reason for that well absolutely stark when with it and nor lesser reserves the fact they were enough to meet the global demand for gas for more than a year was gazprom flagship project but now they would uplift as partners believe the development costs are way too high considering that gas prices have fallen business artie's that output of color has often he tells. the phrasing of these articles for. project once more underscores how rapidly the global markets are developing nowadays someone was originally intended to ship pipeline gas to europe

and liquefied natural gas to the united states by jury in the years the partners took to negotiate the world saw an influx of new allen for all the gulf countries them a shale gas revolution in the united states so the project naturally lost its export markets in addition the cost of this complex offshore project ran 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 of 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 alan g. to asia and another russian gas producer another tech by the way together with one of stock months partners the tal is developing a vast ellen g.

project in the arctic that insula. and it's time now to check out the equity markets and let's go straight to europe where we're seeing a negative picture this hour which is no surprise considering all of the sentiment there namely the german unemployment data that came out a couple of hours ago the unemployment there increased for a fifth straight month in august of zero it was a bit slower than expected and u.s. futures are pointing to a lower opening on wall street in a few hours so not a whole a lot of positive drivers there european currencies managing to gain to the dollar this hour rebounding from wednesday's losses of but the russian ruble is shedding value to the currency basket and that here in moscow the equities are feeling the pinch the sour shares of private oil company lukoil of the blue chip bucking the downward trend gaining around a tenth of a percent. and that's always us from the business desk i'll be back in about

fifteen minutes see them go see the. art of the headlines here in just a moment here and then we've got our some. deep from the conflict inside syria see you shortly.
