will be in attendance as will representatives of turkey jordan and lebanon those representatives will be discussing the counter effects and the consequences of the syrian crisis and how it spilled over into their borders now as you mentioned turkey is expected to raise the issue of buffer zones with the security council turkey wants to create according to reports of buffer zones within syria for displaced people now this is an idea that has already been shot down by the syrian government as well as russia and china and if i'm not mistaken possibly even the secretary general of the u.n. because creating a buffer zone many say would put military a military presence into syria that is not a part of syria's government or military so china and russia are arguing that this can only make the situation that much more dangerous now the meeting will begin in just a few hours but the foreign ministers of britain and france were addressing the media

just a little while ago saying that their countries are already preparing and planning for a post assad era and they have also said raised a new call encouraging for the defections of syrian officers and soldiers what they're doing to encourage those defections is not clear and that's why they did they didn't really go into detail on their new call but they say they are encouraging for more defections to take place within syria now the strong words from several will pose in recent days is the international community any closer to a joint solution on the syrian crisis no. it doesn't seem that way clearly the rhetoric from the west is escalating and has been west escalating over the past weeks we did recently hear france call on the syrian opposition to form a provisional government this came after france just

a week ago called on the consideration of a partial no fly zone to be implemented over syria's airspace meanwhile the u.s. president barack obama said the u.s. would intervene if the syrian government were to use chemical or biological weapons on syrian civilians and britain echoed america's sentiments so here we see the rhetoric is escalating over circumstances which the west say would lead to their intervention we also see the west is planning they say for a host assad era but meanwhile this violence is still escalating people are getting hurt and the security council has not reached any kind of consensus on how to deal with the problem so you're dealing still with a deadlock among the international community but they're also trying to handle the humanitarian situation in syria that is so clearly this will be a wide range discussion taking place in just a few hours at the u.n.

security council. reporting live from new york thanks for that. jordanian security forces 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 paula slayer 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 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 them syria is like a sister to jordan and king abdullah and president assad with friends now our king is in a very difficult situation has a direct impact on what happens as 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 with 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 with 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 bad in syria you die quickly but here we are dying a slow death i wish now i never left to come here. jordan narrowly escaped a wave of uprisings that swept the arab world it says it's getting reforms in place bash caught between both sides it might not be enough to stop the serious shockwave however that conflict in policy r.t. zar to the refugee camp on the jordanian syrian border. r.t.

live from moscow still ahead for you this hour a look at the roots of radicalism to get the spread of islamic extremism in russia or and whether it's being fueled from abroad that's in a few minutes here on r.t. . but first the syrian delegations walked out on the session of the nonaligned movement in tehran after egyptian leader mohamed morsi called the syrian regime oppressive in his speech morsi said that assad's government had lost its legitimacy and called on the attending nations to support the rebels syria's foreign minister slammed the comments as inciting further violence in the country my colleague spoke earlier to journalist and broadcaster neil clark who believes his statement was on balance to best. he didn't could 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 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 receives 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 the u.s. into types hardly surprised you go to a summit and who criticize syrian it's not a big surprise really 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 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 what i think the key player in this room really is the u.s. i mean the u.s. is the main part of the skokomish that the u.s. and its allies which look at force as well and if we're going to change it was implemented i don't really see what the any any movement can actually do i think the boss of me us is caught or we're getting i'm afraid for 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 egypt 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 sort out 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 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 us 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 it only it and its allies represent the international. the international community is meeting now in tehran the u.s. doesn't like it the fact is that the u.s. getting what isolate iran and a whole series of issues south america africa countries china russia you know that is the world i think going to see more warships in the years to come to us power is

in decline and that's the reality and that's what we don't like. as the eurozone is failing to break free of its crippling economic crisis the leader of powerhouse germany is on profit in the east on a visit to china chancellor angela merkel is aiming to convince beijing that europe is still a safe place to invest with billions worth of business deals having already been signed by these people over has the details. i'm no stranger to china this is her sixth trip to the country since she came to power in two thousand and five and there's going to be some big business to be talked about during this current trip it's not just politicians 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 they will be support there from

beijing to keeping the monetary union together but just expect some kind words they shouldn't be any talk of cash coming forward from china to help the ailing euro zone now there is talk of a special relationship between germany and china not unsettle some people in brussels who feel a little left out 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. and china's prime ministers also called on greece italy and spain to go through with reforms and budget cuts to get their finances back on track spain is meanwhile trying to dispell fans the need to buy it now has its form of the strongest region catalonia has run out of money risk consultant john holzman believes that angle of medical will not be able to convince beijing to throw its cash into europe struggling south and 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 or 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 euro the 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 at 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 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 in the titanic really has hit the black hole and it won't be long before the whole ship saints. our team working twenty four seven to provide you with the best stories and videos from around the

the killing of a spiritual leader of dagestani muslims by an islamic extremist is being seen as another sign of a steady rise in radicalism in russia the attack came on tuesday when a female suicide bomber entered the clerics disguised as a pilgrim and blew herself up concern is also being fueled by last month's double assault on muslim figures in the republic of. some experts believe the roots of extremism lead all the way to the middle east but others say the threat from islamic hatred could be even stronger. reports. the trip to work the tragedy 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 lever survived to find is 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 to 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 funds from states where wacko business is an official religion the money has to be worked off and they demand their ideology is spread here. like a business is one of the most fundamental branches of islam it's strongly advocated in saudi arabia which backs it up with billions of dollars of support across the muslim world its followers often oppose all other religions sometimes even calling for jihad holy war against them but 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 me. like this one form a boiler house we built into a mosque in one of cousins many apartment block you aren't it's a mom's denying radical but admitting 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 and equality and there are no longer are 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 court 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 in some of prophet muhammad saints how can we expect muslims to react and of course the radicals use this to

gain influence. of course star stan is a long way from becoming involved by the war stuff radical islam how the state reacts to the spread of extremism is now key in the wrong news could only worsen the situation you go to school of already that are star. while the russian city of concern 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 laws of the band of already described it as a provocation three members of the russian punk band would jailed earlier this month for two years for performing a so-called punk prayer in the country's main cathedral. this is r t live here in moscow coming up in a few minutes

had some of the first modern ideas on it first you would have to send a satellite up into geostationary orbit then a line could be lowered and secured to earth and another one up into space as a counterweight all of this would keep the line tight and allow spacecraft to be lowered up and down it at thousands of kilometers an hour and at the fraction of the cost of space flight it could literally be our lift to the stars and it's not far off as you might think most of the technology already exists the biggest problem being that cable reaching out into space to make one strong enough to stretch the thirty six thousand kilometers necessary scientists think you'd need a material over thirty mega yury strong that's the measurement named after yuri arts the turn of the strongest material available now is just three point nine but new projects are trying to solve that science problem and make the space elevator a reality they want it to reach the moon the american company live porters raising money for the project and the japanese firm corporation aims to have one up and

the fed and the e.c.b. he was given a b. plus grade well ben bernanke you marry a druggie had to be content with just b. and b. minus respectively. or enough of patriotism or secular what's going on in the markets on the stock markets of the united states of the germans is down two point seven percent as you can see there this is on the back of. what is it on the back of the lower mental block here that we've got unemployment benefits they just just come back with that unemployment benefits which are flat and that means basically that hiring has slowed down in the united states and the economy is faltering but not faltering harsh enough for central banks to come in with additional stimulus notably the fed with a new wave of quantitative easing but we'll just have to wait and see what ben bernanke he will be saying tomorrow in jackson hole in wyoming now over in the european markets this is the closing picture with the dax is down one point six

percent it's driven but down by automotive shares. b.m.w. were down more than three percent at the close and that's also on worries that retail sales in europe in japan are going down point eight percent also unemployment in germany has been going up the past five months respectively including august and the euro is falling there for against the dollar while the russian ruble is losing value massively more than one percent against the euro and the dollar on the russian markets there was also a pretty bad day with the r.t.s. falling almost two percent of my sex was a bit helped by the by the weaker root ball and losing mostly on the my six were financial shares with bt be declining more than two percent. now gas problems. megachurch megaproject stockmen has been put on hold the parties involved that gazprom norway's stats oil and france's total have said that costs are too high

while demand is actually falling but bradley way from the nation's capital he says that this does not necessarily mean that this is the end of the project just a shift in gas from strategy. what'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 difficult conditions in the current tax regime that this product is difficult to proceed so i'm thing that we've seen gas from exit prosy i think we've seen 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. and then starts

all of also agreed to create joint venture projects in the arctic basically stats oil will be taking a thirty three percent stake in the joint ventures and also an exchange of manager and technical personnel isn't visaged within the. right four more mental blocks and mind fifty five minutes here. very shortly we'll be going to washington.
