9:02 am
business. on the road to recovery. it's a pleasure to have you with us today. the syrian delegation has walked out on a session of the nonaligned movement in tehran they were angered at a speech by egyptian leader mohamed morsi who called president assad's regime oppressive syria's foreign minister said the comments amounted to inciting further violence in the country just a bit earlier i spoke to journalist and broadcaster believes that the statement was unbalanced best. he didn't criticize the rebels at all i mean the rebels have been responsible for much of the violence in syria the government for another two but you know there were bombs going off which we get you know people clearly didn't he
9:03 am
didn't make any mention of that so i can understand the syrians feeling very green but what he said you 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 from qatar and of course the u.s. and qatar two of the leading hawks on syria so when you're receiving that much money from us in a tie it's hardly surprising go to a summit and criticise syrian was not a big surprise really so so the new leader the new egyptian leader mohamed morsi are perhaps already. signaling his friendship with the west or possibly a war capitol hill as you say with his brow temple over should 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 room is the u.s. i mean the u.s. is the main part of the u.s. and its allies which look of course as well and if we're going to change position from there i don't really see what the any any movement can actually do i think the
9:04 am
boss of me us is caught or we're getting a break from the washington is more sort of right wing rhetoric about arming rebels congolese rights today so i actually get a major shift there it's not going to help really and i hate egypt's position isn't helping at all 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 the one stoking this up the u.s. has to change its policies and to let syrian soldiers their own futures back out of syria and we can get some peace and dialogue now as you say so washington or the u.s. is the big player here perhaps behind the felted curtains are washington has said that the whole are not aligned movement summit isn't worthy of any higher level attendance that coming from the u.s. state department just the other day do you think such criticism is justified it's two thirds of the world in the us has the arab gets to say it doesn't count it's beyond what's been really because of course the u.s. wants us to believe in it and its allies represent the. community international community is meeting now in tehran the u.s. doesn't like it the fact is that the u.s. getting more isolated iran and a whole series of issues south america africa countries china russia you know that
9:05 am
is the world i think going to see more of a shift 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. on the deadlocked u.n. security council is set to discuss syria with france presiding over the top body hoping for a resolution to help to tackle the growing humanitarian crisis that he was also invited to the ministerial meeting it's pushing for the creation of a buffer or a no fly zone over syria that's something russia and china strongly object to syria's president has meantime lashed out at ankara saying it bears direct responsibility for the bloodshed in his country but shot our last side says his forces need more time to overcome rebels with heavy fighting ongoing recent reports suggest opposition fighters have downed a government fighter jet and italy provence and a lebanese nun who spent over a decade in syria and came to the aid of the suffering when the conflict erupted guying started causing chaos there
9:06 am
a very long time ago. i would put it is that only says it's not political it's not even see the image and already. knew. where to get it we're all going to be implemented. and so i put the head. as an eyewitness and it is a beginning we did not even know who were people and we 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. the day before.
9:07 am
you know those and i then defied gangs have been beheading nine i know we. just because they were i don't know if this is my eyes. and you can see that full interview including more firsthand accounts from syria you know just about an hour and twenty five minutes from now. 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 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 artie's paullus live 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
9:08 am
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 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're growing number is putting pressure on an already refugee way republic we can close the border on 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 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
9:09 am
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 armenia. 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 this is. the atmosphere here is so. mysterious you die quickly but here we are dying
9:10 am
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. zante refugee camp on the jordanian syrian border. we are coming to you live from the heart of moscow are still ahead for you in this hour a look at life on the margins of war and that we have a good spread of radical islam in russia whether it's being fueled from abroad all about in just a few minutes here on. dreaming of a luxury see round trip with open air entertainments. a little minute
9:11 am
exercise to get in better shape. and cuisine with all my healthy ingredients. in this case something to remind our summer sales on our cheat. ten minutes past the hour moscow time thanks for joining us here on r.t. today as the eurozone is failing to break free of its crippling economic crisis now the leader of powerhouse germany is eyeing profit in the east on a visit to china chancellor angela merkel is aiming to convince beijing that europe
9:12 am
is still a safe place to invest now with billions worth of business deals having already been signed with details artie's pretty rough. 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 jiggering this current trip it's not just politicians 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 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 eurozone now there is talk of a special relationship between germany and china not unsettle some people in
9:13 am
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 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 so will be the eurozone crisis an increasing economic ties that will top the bill when it comes to 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.
9:14 am
and china's prime minister has also called on greece italy spain to go through with reforms on budget cuts to get a final. back on track spain is meanwhile trying to dispel faith that it will need another bailout as its formally strongest region in catalonia has now run out of money risk consultant john holzman believes that i'm dilemma will not be able to convince beijing to throw its cash into europe's struggling self when what they want to talk about is not europe and germany relations between china and germany are great trade bilaterally grew at eighteen point nine percent last year one fifth of all exports to china from europe and 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 unbind 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
9:15 am
chinese are very polite indeed but they're religious about everything but they don't want to be saddled with the insanity that is the productivity of italy and spain compared the productivity of germany the euro zone's work very well for germany these other weaker countries have gone on a 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 access german capacity becomes vital for the future of germany because of germany goes down well in the titanic really has hit the black hole and it won't be long before the whole ship same's.
9:17 am
all the way to the middle east. 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 and on 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 spotlights 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. some of the local muslim communities are financed by arab funds from
9:18 am
states where i work a bit and as 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 it isn't or 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 rebuilt into a mosque in one of gazans many apartment block you aren't it's the moms 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
9:19 am
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. 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. doff. not the kind of punishment you'd find in russia's criminal court nevertheless surge 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 see how can we expect muslims to react and of course the radicals use this to gain influence.
9:20 am
of course start their stand is a long way from becoming involved by the worst of radical islam how the state reacts to the spread of extremism is now key the wrong moves could only worsen the situation you go to school of already because i don't understand 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 written in blood is being treated as murder and 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 lawyers of the band have already described it as a provocation three members of the russian punk band were jailed earlier this month after two years after their antiproton stand in the country's main cathedral. why this is r t thanks for joining us today coming up in just a few minutes a stairway to heaven an old idea of a soviet engineer is now being put into practice find out about the plans to boldly

cycling all to be featured on the first day. well forget rockets and space shuttles 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 and saudis tom 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 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
9:24 am
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 yuri 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 porters raising money for the project and the japanese for more by actually 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. in the business world we go there dimitri good to see you and understand that you know you and i think years now many times. flagship project stockman and i understand his being put on hold is this it well
9:25 am
you know it was a bit of a personal tragedy to me too when i read the headline. you know if you ask me i'd say not necessarily because well we'll get to it actually a bit later in the program first of all let's take a look at the main reasons names by the participants of the project that is gazprom and know we start toil in france they say basically development costs too high while dumon is falling down turn it over. the freezing of these arctic 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 but during the years the partners to to negotiate the world saw an influx of new allen from the gulf countries then a shale gas revolution in the united states so the project naturally lost its
9:26 am
export markets in addition the cost of this complex offshore project ran very high 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 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. is developing a vast l.n.g. project in the arctic you miles. well as i was saying does not necessarily mean that it's the end of the project so also says bradley way from renascence capital he says that it's rather a change of strategy for gas problem. it's important to note that gazprom in our
9:27 am
view isn't exiting the project gazprom is indicating to investors into the government that due to the location difficult conditions in the current tax regime that this product 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 views how it used to project what when 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. secular got the markets we start with europe in an hour we'll see the opening of the u.s. markets and so far futures and the european markets appointing a low of because the jobless claims have come in flats in the united states which indicates basically a slowdown of hiring in the economy also unemployment in germany has come in with
9:28 am
an increase for the fifth straight month of august which is not good economic confidence is also coming down for the whole of the euro zone and therefore this is the picture that we see over on the currency markets the euro is climbing today against the dollar still off but around eleven points and it's continuing the trend said basically on what was it tuesday and then there was this minor correction on wednesday meanwhile the trade for the russian ruble remains the same and that's a deep creasy ation we're seeing get another half a percent last versus the dollar even more so versus the euro. and on the a russian markets we're also seeing a negative picture among that that the bloom around global markets with yahtzee is declining almost one percent as you see the oil prices are not really helping the still standing at ninety five it seems russia really wants prices just continue
9:29 am
growing and never stop so on the my six feeling a bit better because of the weaker ruble was near is down despite the fact that it's announced the deal with norway starts well which as you may remember was one of the participants in the stockmen project to also develop a boiling gas in the arctic shelf and that concludes this edition of the business news from me for now i'll be back in fifty five yes you will be so you invent things. headlines in just a second then it's going to be spotlight all going off but a duck for cover tell you why in just a moment. thank .
