the road to recovery. it is a pleasure to have you with us here today. the syrian delegation has walked out on a session of the nonaligned movement in tehran speech by the egyptian leader mohamed morsi who called president assad's regime oppressive syria's foreign minister said the comments amounted to ultimately inciting further violence in the country in the program. he believes these statements were unbalanced. he didn't criticize the rebels at all i mean the rebels would be responsible for much of the violence in syria the government fair enough to but you know there were bombs going off which we get you know people clearly didn't he
11:03 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 who could chart and of course the u.s. and the target two of the leading hawks on syria so when you're receiving that much money from us in cotai it's hardly surprising you go to a summit and criticize syria and a lot of it's not a big surprise really 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 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 at force as well and if we get a change of position from there i don't really see what the any movement can
11:04 am
actually do i think the boers and us each quarter 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 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 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 the felted curtains are washington has said that the whole are not aligned movement summit isn't worthy of any high 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 u.s. has the arab gets to say it doesn't count it's beyond what's really because of course the u.s. wants us to believe in it and its allies represent the international. the international community is meeting now in tehran and 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 no that is the
11:05 am
world i think are going to see more a shift in the years to come the u.s. power is in decline and that's the reality and that's what i don't like. now the un security council is to discuss syria with france for siding over the top body hoping for a resolution to help to try and tackle the growing humanitarian crisis there he was also invited to the ministerial meeting it's pushing for the creation of a buffer no fly zone over syria that is something russia and china strongly object to syria's president has lashed out at ankara saying it bears direct responsibility for the bloodshed in the country bashar al assad says his forces need more time to overcome the rebels with heavy fighting ongoing recent reports suggest opposition fighters have downed a government fighter jet in the province and a lebanese nun who spent over a decade in syria came to the aid of the suffering when the conflict erupted says armed gangs have started causing chaos there very long time ago. put it is
11:06 am
that only says it's not political. it's not even civilian. position where the good. and so i could have. an eyewitness and in the beginning we did not even know who. and we said those people. and then comply you know we said we don't know who they are but they are spreading. these orders. and many kind you know. towards what example they would i have seen. in homs. if. blood. because. the day before. people you know and i then defied
11:07 am
gangs have been beheading nine i know with people just because they want to know. i mean this is my eyes. and you can watch the interview in full including more firsthand accounts are from the heart of the conflict in syria in about an hour twenty five minutes from now. jordanian security forces at a massive refugee camp on the border with syria they're 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 or reports. exhausted and drained there's not much for these refugees to do besides swelter under the scorching desert sun sheltering from the vine inspect
11:08 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 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 on the faces of the refugees we have to help syria is like a sister to jordan i'm king abdullah and president assad we're friends now king is in a very difficult situation goes on there has a direct impact on what has. relations between a man in damascus are already strained a number of defected soldiers and senior officers are being sheltered in the
11:09 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 of 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 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 way 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
11:10 am
a slow death i wish now i never left to come here. jordan narrowly escaped a wave of. the arab world it says it's. caught between both sides it might be enough to stop the serious shockwave however that conflict in. camp on the jordanian border. and we're coming to you live from the heart of moscow still ahead. a look at the roots of radicalism. the spread of. russia and whether it's being fueled from abroad. british.
11:11 am
market. find out what's really happening to the global economy with. global financial headlines. and then. it's good to have you with us here today as the eurozone is failing to break free of its crippling economic crisis the leader of powerhouse germany is in the east on a visit to china. to convince beijing that europe is still a safe place to invest with billions worth of business deals having already being
11:12 am
signed with this report arts. 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 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 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
11:13 am
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 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. all of the reporting right that one in the meantime aton is prime minister has also
11:14 am
called on greece italy and spain to go through with reforms on budget cuts to get their finances back on track spain is meanwhile trying to dispel fears that it might need another bailout that's formally strongest region catalonia has run out of money a risk consultant john holzman said i'm going to buckle will not be able to convince beijing to throw its cash into europe 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 are go to germany that's a booming relationships that's the difference on couple 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
11:15 am
chinese are very polite indeed but they're real it's above everything what they don't want is 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 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 then the titanic really has hit the black hole and it won't be long before the whole ship sinks. stories around the world. at the moment for example another school of hard knocks.
11:16 am
of course.
11:17 am
last month. in the republic of tatarstan experts believe the roots of all the way back to the middle east. the trip to work. the man who's been. believer 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 yes some of the local muslim communities are financed by arab families
11:18 am
from states where is an official religion or the got the money has to be worked off and they demand that ideology is suppressed it's. 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 that isn't or any other radical movement of us lot of course not part of the official religion here but i thought do you see 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 mom's denying being 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
11:19 am
terrorism these are words only used by prove a kidders who want to discredit as. we were told here believers are taught sincerely and equality there are no longer up held in modern society with justice can only be achieved through islam 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 a hand chopped off. not the kind of punishment you'd find in russia's criminal court nevertheless such ideas are reportedly gaining more support among young muslims for some experts it could be paul. the list of banned extremist literature was thrown together. books by cursed tools author is no. more than some of prophet muhammad see how can we expect muslims to react course the radicals use this to gain influence. of course through their stand is along we mean by
11:20 am
the worst of the radical islam how the state reacts to the spread of extremism is no. good only rule the situation you go to school of already because i don't understand. well the russian city of cazan 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 it has been treated as a murder scene 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 bad have already described it as a provocation of course it was a three members of the russian punk band jailed earlier this month for two years for performing a so-called punk prayer in the country's main cathedral. are you watching r t coming up in just a few minutes here a stairway to heaven an old idea of

a soviet and has now been for practice find out about the plans to boldly build an elevator into space. just one in twenty minutes past the hour here. with a russian crew that had been seized by pirates off the west coast of africa has been freed and none of the twenty four people on board this all according to the director of the alpha marine crew company and the pirates pumped out some three thousand tons of oil and then made their escape and the crew is now assessing the damage to the ship the tanker were seized on tuesday after an exchange of gunfire with security forces from tague. why straight to afghanistan now to start up the odyssey world update it's where five australian soldiers have died pair of 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 other so-called green on blue
11:22 am
attacks in which uniformed afghans turned their weapons against coalition allies have surged claiming the lives of at least forty five troops. scandal hit a blog police bank is facing another fraud probe over the billions it raised from middle eastern investors in two thousand and eight the bank is suspected of not being open enough and 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 barclays was also recently embroiled in a row over manipulating the libor rate the reputation of u.k. banks including r.b.s. and started chartered all taking a battering after they were accused of breaking the sanctions imposed on iran. now the death toll from a gas explosion at a coal mine in southwest china has risen to twenty six twenty one of those still unaccounted for the blast happened on wednesday evening when over one hundred fifty
11:23 am
miners were in the pit the owners of the mine have been detained for questioning in coal mine accidents like this or killed almost two thousand people in china last year where safety rules are often neglected. well it is a spectacular fireworks display proving to be one of the highlights of the opening ceremony of the london twenty twelve paralympics the show believed to be the events most watched ever at the competition will last about eleven days with over four thousand athletes from all around the world taking part in a wheelchair basketball shooting swimming and track cycling all to be featured on the first day. but you can forget about real. space shuttles a lift could soon be 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 and originally russian idea that is time by 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
11:24 am
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 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 porters raising
11:25 am
money for the project and the japanese firm abo yeah she 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. time the business there is dimitri again good to see you are is there is this the end of the mega approach i called a shock when that's now been put on hold well apparently not necessarily because of the parties involved in the project that's gazprom stats. and from france they're saying that basically the project is not feasible anymore costs are too high while demand is fully but bradley way from the nation's capital says that this could mean just a change of strategy for gas probably. what's important to note that gazprom in our view isn't exiting the project gazprom is indicating to investors into the
11:26 am
government that due to the location the difficult conditions and the current 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 views 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 those move over to the markets that we start with the united states they've kicked off in the red pretty deep actually with the belgians and nasdaq declining one percent this is as basically unemployment benefits stood still flat in the previous week and that means that hiring is slowed down and the economy on it so is not really steaming ahead but it's not bad enough for additional stimulus from the go we'll have to wait and see
11:27 am
for the jackson hole summit on friday something that investors have been anticipating for the week. over in europe everything is also going from bad to worse with the dax now declining almost two put said now it's led by main car makers stocks they're all down more than three percent of. b.m.w. and mercedes benz. now in currencies the euro is gaining versus the dollar that's on the back of this negative data coming out from the united states actually will europe couldn't really boast of positive data either with germany's unemployment also coming up a notch so we're less than expected for the fifth month in a row in august the russian ruble though is pretty stable in terms of falling against the basket of currencies the euro and the dog. and on the russian market here is the closing picture for you with the r.t.s.
11:28 am
declining more than two percent almost two percent correct myself here m i six a feeling a bit better on a weaker ruble down half a percent but financial stocks were worse than the market would be before the more than two percent and it's not only blanks but also bankers who are rated on their performance not global finance magazine as rated fifty central bankers with marks from a to d. just like school on the basis of several criteria including levels of unemployment and what was it again interest rates in their countries the biggest grades were given to only six heads of financial regulators including the ones from australia canada and israel interestingly the chairman of russia's central banks of gay it could not see if he over turkey's colleagues from the fed and the e.c.b. he was given a b. plus grade while ben bernanke he marry a druggie had to be content with just b. and b. minus respectively so we end with a bit of national pride for us russians out of central bankers better than your
11:29 am
simple bank. really i can't wait to see what you do next. so you're saying. i'll be back with the headlines on the kaiser report. well for. science technology innovation all the.
