with. crippling economic crisis the leader of. the east on a visit to china. to invest with business deals already having signed. 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 and it's not just politicians today 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 there 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 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 euro zone monetary union so will be the eurozone crisis an increasing economic ties that will top the bill when it comes to i'm going to quit talking to the chinese leadership will be underlining the meeting is a cruel fact that germany needs china far more right now than china needs germany. and china's prime minister has also called on greece italy and spain to go through with reforms on budget cuts to get there. finance is back on track spain is meanwhile trying to dispel fears that it will need another bailout as its formally strongest region catalonia as now run out of money consultant john holzman believes

that angle of merkel will not be able to convince beijing to throw its cash into europe struggling south. well what they want to talk about is not europe and germany relations between china and germany are great trade bilaterally grew eighteen point nine percent last year one fifth of all exports to china from europe or germany one quarter of all imports in from china our go to germany that's a booming relationships that's the difference uncouple in germany from europe so a lot of countries around the world are doing it so i think you'll see a polite no line spanish and italian bonds as the chinese not become suicidal and this is america can be a good business person for germany but i doubt she can do the same for your the chinese are very polite indeed but they're religious about everything but they don't want to be saddled with the insanity that is of the productivity of italy and spain compared the productivity of germany the eurozone has worked very well for germany these other weaker countries have gone on the spending binge and bought

german exports with that no longer being the case because they're in no position to do that germany is it's absolutely vital looks for more partners to buy their wherewithal and that means more from china or from india the problem is the whole world is in a downturn and so who buys this excess german capacity becomes vital for the future of germany because of germany goes down well then the titanic really has hit the black hole and it won't be long before the whole ship saints. watching on t.v. still ahead for you in this hour a look at life on the margins of how we have a story of syrian refugees that accompany jordan who have fled the bloodshed but now facing on so future and they crammed conditions on a lack of basic assumptions. and we investigate the spread of radical islam in russia and whether it's being fueled from abroad about some of the few minutes we're going to see. now the deadlocked u.n. security council is to discuss syria with problems presiding over the top body

hoping for a resolution to deal with the crisis that's how he was also invited to the ministerial meeting it's pushing for the creation of a buffer a no fly zone over syria a sigh. thing russia and china strongly object to a syria's president has lashed out at ankara saying it bears no direct responsibility for the bloodshed in the country bashar al assad says his forces need more time to overcome the rebel soldiers would heavy fighting raging on recent reports suggest opposition fighters have down the government fighter jets in the province and the lebanese who spent over a decade in syria and came to the aid of the suffering when the conflict erupted so it started causing chaos there a long time ago. is that it's not political. it's not even civilian genuity i asked him to do a position where to get organized. and so i called the head and

i and i witnessed and in the beginning we did not even know who were those people and we said said those people there were. identified gangs you know we said we don't know who they are but they are spreading. these a lot of the killings abducting and many kind you know. towards what example they would i have seen. in homs. if luck of blood. because in the day before. people you know source and i then defied gangs have been beheading nine i know with people just because they were i know it i have seen this was my eyes.

or you can see that interview in full including more firsthand accounts from syria in about twenty three minutes from. jordanian security forces that a massive refugee camp on the border with syria are on high alert after two hundred refugees turned on the guards over the conditions there the government says anyone responsible for violence will be deported it appears that dealing with the immense influx from syria is far beyond what jordan can cope with as are his policy now reports. 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 off across into jordan they're picked up on the border

by the jordanian police and brought here to this camp. 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 growing numbers 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 president assad with friends now our king is in a very difficult situation goes on has a direct impact on what happens here relations between a man and 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 with 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 far more flexible. and so now jordan faces the backlash of a conflict which some in the country have helped 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 mysterious 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 bash caught between both sides it might not be enough to stop the serious shockwave however that conflict in. the refugee camp on the jordanian syrian border.

so ten minutes past the hour here in moscow our team at all to dot com of course working twenty four seven to provide you with the best stories and videos from around the world let's have a quick look and see what we have you on the website right now another school of hard knocks despair for two thousand students in the u.k. you may face deportation after the university lost its right to admit foreigners. plus the masts of. the mall a new world record in thailand with relaxation all around it is remarkable public. video and. now the killing of a spiritual leader and. muslims is being seen as another sign of a steady rise in extremism in russia and the attack came on tuesday when a female suicide bomber entered the cleric's home described as a pilgrim. his son is also being fueled by last month's double assault on muslim

figures in the republic of tatarstan some experts believe the roots of extremism lead all the way to the middle east but others say the threat of anti islamic hatred could be even stronger as you go to prison or reports. the trip to work that turned to tragedy dr stan's 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 believers 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 washington yes some of the local muslim communities are financed by arab families from states where wahhabism is an official religion the money has to be worked off and they demand that 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 it is more in the 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 rebuilt into a mosque in one of gazans many apartment blocks the aren't it's the moms denying 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 to sincerely and equality 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 author is a band or even some of prophet muhammad saints how can we expect muslims to react and of course the radicals use this to gain influence. of course to understand is along we mean by the worst of the radical islam how the state reacts to the spread of extremism is no. good only situation you go to school of already.

well the russian city of cousin has come under the spotlight again this time as two women were found dead in their flat with the words free pussy riot written on the wall above them apparently in blood it's being treated as murder both the elderly woman and her middle aged daughter died from multiple stab wounds authorities are investigating whether the killer was a supporter of pussy riot lawrence of the band have already described it as a provocation three members of the russian punk band were jailed earlier this month for two years after an anti putin stunt in the country's main cathedral. well this is r t thanks for joining us today coming up in just a few minutes that of a stairway to heaven an old idea of a soviet engineer is now being put into practice find out about the plans of boldly build an elevator into space. now the syrian delegation has walked out on

a session of the nonaligned movement currently underway in tehran they were angered at a speech by gyptian leader mohamed morsi who called president assad's regime oppressive the high hopes were put on the gathering of the states who don't consider themselves allies of major western powers and their ability to negotiate a solution to the syrian crisis as discussed the implications of this now with a journalist and broadcaster neil clark coming live on the program good to see you today sirius i report hello syria's foreign minister said that or more sees comments amount to inciting further violence in the country what do you think. well i think the problem i had we had this speech was it was so on balance i mean he didn't quit criticize the rebels at all i mean the rebels have been responsible for much of the violence in syria the government fair enough to but you know there were bombs going off this week at funerals twelve people killed he didn't he didn't make any mention of that so i can understand the syrians feeling very green by what he said but don't you agree that mean what morsi would have foreseen that his statement however accurate or inaccurate or certainly would have angered the

syrians and the hosts of the summit for that matter what do you think his motivation is here or a very simple answer brandel actually got to bear in mind the fact that egypt received about one point five six billion u.s. dollars in aid and on top of that back in august they received two billion dollars who could start and of course the u.s. and qatar are two of the leading hawks on syria so when you're receiving that much money from the u.s. and the types hardly surprising go to a summit and criticise syria it's not a big surprise really so so the new leader the new egyptian leader mohammed morsi or perhaps already. signaling his friendship with the west or possibly a war capitol hill as you say with his brow don't follow suit do you think that with the whole summit going on and you know one hundred twenty members of member states being represented here do you think they can come to something to resolve the ongoing crisis in syria. well i think you know i think the key player in this rumor is the u.s. i mean the u.s. is the main part skokomish that the u.s. and its allies we took a force as well and unless we get

a change of position from them i don't really see what the any any a movement can actually do i think the ball's in the us court all we're getting i'm afraid from washington is more sort of right wing rhetoric about arming rebels on the lease or rights today so let me get a major shift there it's not going to help really and a great egypt position is going to talk. to the new egyptian leader he appears to be on friendly terms with iran china and also israel and the u.s. as we've been saying here there have been a talk of a possible possible geo political shift in the middle east but didn't do you think we can really take this new egyptian leader of face value so that we can you know i think people who think they will be sure going to be disappointed in the extreme because of course the financial hole that the west has over him and he's trying to be all things to all people isn't he i mean he's trying to be friendly with israel and iran you know it doesn't work you have to make a choice and make a stand you know that the palestinian issue he wants to support the palestinian people many car i'm afraid of the current israeli regime but i shouldn't like to

put it off for interrupting we don't don't you think it's a bit bizarre i mean ultimately here's morsi making this comment that angered her syrians and probably many other people in attendance as well do you think is trying to undermine the summit because here we have the u.n. chief the moon you know america was saying that by came in we don't want you to go by came and said no i'm going to go even banki moon hasn't said anything as harsh as what morsi has come out with oh absolutely i mean i mean i think it's all part of a plan to go there to try to sabotage the summit because i think a lot of people who are a naive about egypt they thought it was going to be a meaningful change egypt's foreign policy after what happened last year but in fact it's continue eating you know if you can the same thing and i think more morsi i mean that's part of the game the u.s. will be very pleased with what he said well certainly you know some plans are being put on the table some possible plans to resolve the crisis in syria both egypt and iran have put forward plans to a four mediator group to. try and resolve everything morsi suggests involving egypt iran turkey and saudi arabia after my dinner jacket suggests egypt iran and venezuela which one do you fancy the most when you look at the first i mean you've

got three countries saudi arabia egypt and turkey who actually want regime change in syria so they can argue on each broca's they actually don't want an only solution to this a peaceful compromise solution so i don't think anything that involves saudi rape or turkey is on the cards really i think the second one is better but i think as i said earlier i think i think it doesn't matter what media groups we set up which countries are on the key player in all of this is the u.s. the u.s. is that wants to open this up the u.s. has to change its policies and to let syrians sort out their own futures back out of syria then we can get some peace and dialogue now as you say so washington of the u.s. is the big player here perhaps behind closed doors a higher behind the felted curtains are washington has said that the whole of nonaligned movement summit isn't worthy of any high level attendance that's coming from the u.s. state department just the other day do you think such criticism is justified when you look at it one hundred twenty states or countries being represented here and they're saying that you guys don't amount to anything what is two thirds of the

world war and it's two thirds of the world in the u.s. has the arab gets to say it doesn't count it's beyond which to really because of course the u.s. wants us to believe that only it and its allies represent the international community the international community is meeting now in tehran the u.s. doesn't like it the fact is that the u.s. is getting more isolate iran and a whole series of issues south america africa countries china russia you know that is the world and i think going to see more warships in the years to come and the u.s. power is in decline and that's the reality and that's what i don't like journalist and broadcaster neil clark a lot on our program from oxford a great pleasure thanks so much actually. well let's get to some other news for you now some other global news we'll start with australia for the aussie world update five australian soldiers have died in afghanistan in two separate incidents two soldiers were killed when their helicopter rolled over while landing just hours earlier a man in an afghan army uniform opened fire on australian soldiers at a military base killing three and wounding two insider attacks in which afghan security forces or insurgents posing as soldiers are targeted coalition allies have

escalated over the past year. scandal hit the bottle east bank is facing another fraud probe over the billions it raised from middle eastern investors back in two thousand and eight the bank is suspected of not being open enough in what it had paid to advisors when it raised more than five billion pounds of emergency capital at the height of the global financial crisis but the reputation of u.k. banks including r.b.s. and standard chartered have been taking a battering after a string of recent scandals. a gas explosion at a coal mine in southwest china has killed nineteen while dozens are still trapped inside the blast happened on wednesday evening when over one hundred fifty miners were in the pit the owners of the mine have been detained for investigation coal mine accidents killed almost two thousand people in china last year where safety rules tend to be neglected. a spectacular fireworks display has set the

seal on the opening ceremony of the london two thousand and twelve paralympics with the show believed to be the events most watched ever at the competition of the last eleven days with over four thousand athletes from all around the globe taking part wheelchair basketball shooting swimming and track cycling among the highlights of the first day. now you can forget rockets and space shuttles a lift could soon become the new way to get to space american and japanese companies are working on projects to achieve just that but at the heart of the groundbreaking development lies a russian idea as artist on button explains. as strange as it sounds the idea of a space elevator has been around for decades it was a 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 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 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 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. boiler threw it over the business we go there dimitri good to see you today earlier i understand that this might be the end of the mega project called shukman and now it's been put on hold well you know if you ask me i'd say not necessarily because if we look in long story short we look at the main reasons behind it being put on hold then they announce there's a rising costs well demand is calling that's according to gazprom and its partners but let's get more details from our correspondent. the freezing of these arctic project once my. on discourse 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 alan g. for all the gulf countries then

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's the stuff with exit is a positive sign as it signals of more pragmatic commercial thinking by gas prom 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 another tech by the way together with one of stock months partners the tal is developing a vast elenchi project in the arctic that insula. staying with the issue bradley way from her nation's capital says basically this does not mean that it's the end of the project but rather

a shift in the strategy for gas from. it's important to note that gazprom in our view isn't exiting the project gazprom is indicating to investors into the government that due to the location the difficult conditions and the coming tax regime that this project is difficult to proceed so one thing that we're seeing gas from exit per se i think we're seeing gazprom communicate publicly what it used to how it used to project what is really signaling is that many of the next generation projects shelf projects offshore projects or arctic projects are going to need a different tax structure whether it's lowering taxes or changing the set up or framework within which they are taxed so i think that this is an indicator for next generation projects across the board. for a secular what's going on in europe and the market is down there on basically new signs of recession looming in europe because unemployment in germany is growing for the fifth straight month of august and the economic sentiment is going down in the

month of august across the whole of the euro zone at the same time everyone's of course expecting what's going to happen at the jackson hole a summit of the central bankers tomorrow in wyoming usa move over to currencies and the euro continues to gain it's basically doing what it was doing on shoes day we saw a massive jump a little correction yesterday but now it's back up against the dollar and the russian ruble continues to lose there's no change in the pace there you see on the russian market another day of declines with the r.t.s. and my six dropping differently than my six supporters have been quite the week. and ross now is still down point three percent despite the fact that it signed a new deal with norway stats world to develop gas projects in the arctic show. that's what we have for you of course i will be back around fifty five fifty five minutes time with another.
