divided u.n. security council has tried to break the syria turkey pushing a. meeting of. the u.s. taking place in tehran outraged by egypt's new president. of regime. germany beast for investment. business beijing

is on the road to recovery. certainly glad to have you with us let's get right to our top story britain and france say they are not ruling out any options in syria including a military enforced no fly zone the deadlocked u.n. security council has again held a meeting on the crisis with turkey also pushing for the creation of a buffer zone our new york correspondent. security council remains very much divided over how to deal with the syrian crisis the high level meeting that was taking place in new york focused on the humanitarian circumstances in syria right now and how they continue to exacerbate according to u.n. officials at least two hundred twenty nine thousand syrians have fled the country

in the past eighteen months spilling over to neighboring countries such as lebanon jordan in turkey and iraq this is of course made the circumstances very difficult for the neighboring countries turkey has asked the security council to consider setting up refugee camps inside of syria that outside countries would safeguard if this is a suggestion that the syrian government say they are very much against russia and china also opposed it saying that it could only create more conflict and violence so clearly you have a very complicated situation here but we did hear western countries address the security council their representatives calling once again for syrian president bashar al assad to step down britain and france the foreign ministers of those countries today made a new call encouraging for more defections within the syrian government and the syrian military the russian ambassador to the united nations vitaly churkin i did

address the security council and raised the issue of the fact that the unilateral sanctions that western countries including the u.s. britain france those sanctions that they've placed on syria are only hurting the syrians at the bazaar posing as jewelry sanctions imposed by the u.n. security council have nothing in common with the actual efforts to assist a settlement of the syrian crisis because the lives of simple citizens and deny them the opportunity to meet their own mentor needs to fully enjoy be sick human rights this is not only our conclusion but he does also will be an independent commission in syria we hope on nations with sanctions against. syria to immediately lift we view the efforts of some individual states to use sudo in many tearing arguments that suggest of you their financial material technical or logistical support to even to armed groups and so on except the group but there have been several strong statements in recent days and even in the past week we heard that

u.s. president barack obama indicating that washington would intervene militarily into syria if the syrian government were to use biological or chemical weapons against its civilians britain echoed washington's sentiments while france has come out for posing for a partial no fly zone to be imposed over syria's airspace this of course is something that has not been supported by russia and china but but the u.s. and its western allies have underscored as late as this eve this meeting taking place security council that they will continue supporting the syrian opposition and continue providing them with a quick meant artie's miniport i reporting for us there from new york now for more analysis on the ongoing syrian crisis and the u.n. meeting we are now joined to live by paul sheldon foote professor at california state university fullerton thank you very much for being with us so we have seen

another u.n. security council meeting has there been any difference in the tone of the rhetoric this time it is a. repetition of what happened in libya or the united nations being used to promote war instead of promote peace. say jones or acts of war. permitting the support of terrorist groups to go into syria or any other country or any reason why the united nations or she will whether it should even exist anymore well how possible is a negotiated diplomatic settlement in the syrian conflict now that we've seen ethnic tribal and religious divisions in that country and that this is no longer just a fight between pro and anti assad forces well there is no desire by. the west nato negotiated settlement. the old purpose of this exercise is to make sure that

there is no competition in the middle east or in searches by way of syria iran and other places. all these other things are excuses now you just mentioned that there is no interest in nato for a negotiated settlement actually foreign minister william hague has said that name a nato enforced no fly zone over the country is not being ruled out they could possibly go rogue even without the u.n. security council do you think this is a possibility of course it's a possibility even mentioned france even mentioned this with respect to the refugee chaos that they're being demanded by turkey to be placed inside syria and run by the united nations that brant said of course if we do there will have to have a large about a military there to protect the refugees let's touch a been a bond that initiative proposed by turkey how safe is it to impose a buffer zone in syria where this is just

a pretext for increase for military presence there it's a pretext it's still another way to divide and take over the current three years seeing the united nations as your vehicle. now if you look at the calls for foreign military intervention in syria they've become more vocal lately you just mentioned france and also the u.k. reiterating the words of the u.s. are we seeing another libya type situation here in syria. that playbook worked in libya they want to try the same playbook until it doesn't work anymore i'd like to reiterate remind everyone also that. there used to be in the republic go under nasser that egypt and syria together with the idea of a pannier unity morsi has gone a long way when mercy shows up at the dam meeting in tehran in tries to destroy any possible cooperation alone the nonaligned member countries it's outrageous and by the way many of these not aligned member countries have american military bases in

the uk and you do not align didn't have american military bases in your number. two point there now here's here's the question we have these quote unquote nonaligned states going against syria syria taking offense to mohamed morsi his comments how do you see this all playing out with seemingly the entire world against syria right now it's almost everybody is against any type of a solution so far it's been a breakup of the country the p.k. k. the. kurdish organization has been given autonomy by the syrian government to. be one step toward fighting against turkey and uniting kurds in turkey and in other neighboring countries. i think the people in the west to be very happy that ended up in a mess of civil war and a breakup of the country and a lack of competition and by. the claim that they really care one bit about

humanitarian concerns as it is a gross right pushing your thoughts paul sheldon foote professor at california state university full intent thank you for being with us. all right still ahead for you this hour a look at the roots of radicalism. we investigate the spread of islamic extremism in russia and whether it's being fueled from abroad that's in a few minutes right here on our team. the syrian delegation has walked out on a session of the nonaligned movement in tehran after egyptian leader mohamed morsi called the syrian regime oppressive in his speech morsi added that assad's government had lost its legitimacy and urged attending nations to support the rebels antiwar activist sara flounders says morsi is trying to do america's bidding who didn't want to see the meeting go ahead. there was an all out effort to stop this made in an all out effort to blockade iran itself and to stop any country from

having any economic political relations with iran whatsoever so over the very fact that one hundred and twenty nations thirty five heads of state have come to tehran for this meeting is an extremely short of them now will they all agree with each other no i don't think so. will this be a voice and a possibility for the future i think that potential is still there but we should be aware that there's big pressure. very much so on every one of the countries i can understand fully syria walking out the day our flight they seem absolutely changed and. there's every effort of the u.s. to intervene and they're already intervening now their threats of the no fly zone arks really dangerous it's on. as the euro zone is failing to break free of its

crippling economic crisis 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 is still a safe place to invest with billions of worth of business deals having already been signed parties are all over has the details. i'm no stranger to china this is her 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 trip it's not just politicians. visit a group of twenty in the delegation including people. all to show that the eurozone still is. to invest in china has its own vested interest in seeing the eurozone stick together europe is china's biggest export markets so they will be. keeping the monetary union together but just expect some kind would.

coming forward from china to help the ailing eurozone and other special relationship between germany and china. people in brussels who feel. when you look at the figures you can see why some nations would be feeling like they. trade between the two countries. to around two hundred. billion dollars twenty fifteen well the reason that the to make such good economic bedfellows at the moment is that germany produces the machinery needed china. germany china as a growing market. drying up from within. the people simply not having the cash to buy within the european union and within the euro zone monetary union so will be the. economic times. the bill when it comes.

to the chinese leadership will be underlining the meeting is. that germany needs china right now then china needs. china's prime minister has also called on greece italy and spain to go through with reforms and budget cuts to get their finances back on track. editorial director at the european council on foreign relations believes that china's input could be key in stabilizing europe. the big hope in europe is that the chinese would invest in some of the new vehicles that have been crazy like the european stability mechanism . the chinese. offering lots of words of support today and yesterday but not much in the way of concrete promises to buy bonds in any case the chinese don't tend to make their bond purchases public so we don't know for example

how much the chinese invested in european bones in the last two years since the euro crisis began anyway and we probably know. there's a lot of there's a lot of uncertainty about that in the case of a bus obviously this is a european company and so it would benefit not just germany but also france and other countries in europe but lots of the deals that have been signed. off for german companies rolled into european companies and in that sense there is a competition going on between germany and other european countries and in a moment germany seems to be winning that competition. the killing of a spiritual leader of 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 home disguised as a pilgrim and blow herself up concern has also been fueled by last month's. republican. some experts believe the roots of extremism lead all the way back to

the middle east but others say the threat from islamic hatred it could become even stronger you got to reports. the trip to work that turned to tragedy. 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 the lever survived to find 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 to other stuff on most people here are muslim and that gets mentioned more and more when it comes to the spread of radical islam in washington. some of the local muslim communities are financed by arab families from states as an official religion because the money has to be worked off and they demand the ideology. 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 or holy war against them but it's a business or any other radical movement of course not part of the official religion here but different ideas are often taught in smaller mosques hidden from the mainstream. like this one. to be built into a mosque. we aren't it's the moms denying being radical 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 might prove a caters for one to discredit as. we were told here believers are taught sincerely and equality are no longer up held in modern society looked at with justice can only be achieved through islam. islam is the only thing

a way of life and social order that called radical the more extreme islamists and what's the punishment for stealing and 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 the books by classical world famous authors of bounce or even some of prophet muhammad saints how can we expect muslims to react to. the radicals to use this to gain influence. of course start their stand is a long week from becoming both by the worst of radical islam how the state reacts to the spread of its religion is now keep the wrong could only reversing the situation you go to school of r g. well this russian

christian community had a monastery in damascus she's been living there and working there for the last twelve years thank you very much a sister for joining us today my first question is you've been there for twelve years working in damascus in syria iran different areas has there been a difference in your work throughout those years and in the recent months that

we've seen uprising and violence of course we have been facing. reality evolving to get more and more of that as you can take. you know it's really in the center headed. so for us it was new because we would've. put it through this partition of the smallest thirty since nineteen ninety four and we would believe the. appreciate. the security team in syria its security cord which is imposed somehow. by regime which is very strong good and sometimes that kind of. again but nevertheless the reality is that everybody was living in security no one when the events begin.

raise we were very happy because we also wanted felt that there that is a need for a chance but very. very quickly. we got bad news. from. the witnesses. in i would have a offices in homs. and also from damascus in that out where what produces it messes with civilians without any political. position you know they were counting on us telling our story and said what expected the contrary of what we were seeing on the television so we took a position for. objective truth. good information and also for sunday that e.t.a.

because only by sco in the you had to help opposition where you had. people detained so you were also helping the opposition yes it's what we call terry otto position the the syrian opposition or position which is not under any party and that i'm not that. you have you have always until today a peaceful demonstration ok. so we had. to free to set free people. also if that is in need of humanitarian help even we had the opposition meeting in our monastery and the first appeal for the bailout and that of course again and was a monastery i'm sure very well aware of all the criticism that has been thrown your way what is your relationship with the assad regime. if you know we have nor the

nation's ship. religious entity and our of thought it is a religious it's not political. it's not even civilian you know we had mainstream report that came to syria and for iran for a while i went with them on the scene you know but in the january. in december i asked him to do a position where the were already implemented ok and so i could have an idea as an eyewitness and in the beginning we did not even know who were source 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

sort of the killings abducting and many kind you know of metal rods. to destabilize a country and also to implement a kind of punishment what if you've been to war for example they would kill. very targeted targeted for example they will keep a low if i have seen. in almost. a flock. of blood. because in the day before. people you know source and i did then defied gangs have been beheading nine i know with people just because they were i know it i have seen this with my eyes and i talked to the population of the sunni population who do you think has has perpetrated this

they didn't know they said they were wearing like soldiers but do you think that their loyalty towards the what do you want me to do i cannot shut up if if if nobody is reporting this i feel that if i know it and i do not report it i am helping. criminals to continue is that way and after even have human rights watch begin to talk about things perpetrated by. actual armed insurrection affiliated saying that it is affiliated to the opposition that were doing sins against humanity but you have the interior opposition. would do doesn't want this kind of foreign intervention. they want changes but we saw violence and we saw destroying.
