now the u.n. chief has called for an end to the militarization of the syrian conflict speaking at the general sami bunky moon said the crisis at stake in the brutal turn marina port not has the details from new york. the secretary general of the u.n. bonn ki-moon addressed the international body giving them an update on the crisis in syria saying the humanitarian circumstance and situation there is only deteriorating and getting worse by the day according to the u.n. chief he said that the humanitarian response on the part of the u.n. is getting harder and harder because the response plan that the u.n.

has set up is only half funded and it's supposed to be fully funded at one hundred eighty million dollars so he said as austerity measures are being implemented by countries all around the world less countries are donating to a mission that is supposed to be helping out those syrians in need now the general assembly was very interested in eager to hear from mr lockhart where he me he is the new joint special representative for syria mr brahimi replaced kofi annan and he said when addressing the general assembly that it will be up to the syrians and only the syrians to decide the fate of their future mr brahimi will be traveling to cairo in the coming days to meet with the secretary general of the arab league and then he will be traveling to damascus to meet with syrian president bashar al assad so clearly he has his work cut out for him in the coming days and weeks ahead but of course syria is staying

a priority within the united nations general assembly and the security council weeks we can expect for a lot of more conversations to be taking place in the month of september when the u.n. general assembly did the guinn's in the next coming weeks this is many are fleeing the syrian conflict to neighboring states with over one hundred thousand leaving in august alone countries like turkey jordan say they're feeling the strain of the influx of displaced syrians are t's policy are now reports. at least ten thousand syrian refugees for the easter week have been stuck on the syrian side of the syrian turkish border and this is because ankara is simply unable to process the growing numbers of people who are fleeing syria to turkey they're already eighty thousand syrian refugees inside turkey and because of frayed that these figures could swell to at least a half a million has been complaining that the international community is not doing enough to help it and to this indeed it is calling for a so-called safe zone or

a buffer zone to be created inside syria and what we understand is that such as zone would extend some twenty kilometers inside syrian territory but the problem is that to create any kind of humanitarian zone you need to have a no fly zone which certainly suggests foreign intervention and there has been a lot of criticism about this from the international community certainly the united nations security council has not given its nod when and korb walk and stop in the past but we do understand that anchor is going to ask the u.n. security council later this month to create this buffer zone it is highly unlikely that russia and china will give its nod but certainly we are witnessing a growing humanitarian crisis at the same time we know that the head of the international committee for the red cross is in damascus they are meeting with syrian officials who are trying to find together some kind of way of assisting these refugees and resolving the situation has been quite some time in those camps talking to some of these refugees and i can back up from firsthand experience what

they as well as what humanitarian organizations are saying what the refugees told me is that the sanitation is far from satisfactory that very often they are staying in queues for hour was waiting for food there are not enough tends to go around people are sleeping on the streets i spoke to a number of women who were complaining of sexual harassment one person perhaps put at the base he told me that him and his family had fled syria to escape it did but here in the rift. they were dying a slow day if at the same time there are concerns that you just need a spark to erupt into a flame there are concerns particularly from the jordanian authorities that they could be rioting there are also concerns that they could be further clashes so the main concern at the moment is that the situation is so volatile you could lead to even a third bigger humanitarian catastrophe. but later we talked to a german journalist who has witnessed the conflict in syria firsthand and he tells r t why western media coverage of the civil war is deliberately misleading.

the mainstream media coverage claimed that the mosque has is was at that time when this so-called battle of the month because they were saying that because it's on fire there are heavy fighting and they were saying that now the rebels how it's so close to the city center that they are a power to conquer now the city the government will fall i want to incite the city and there was no war in the city of course they were in some suburbs there are a couple of interest groups who benefit from such a politics and the big interests before the western governments who want to have the regime change there and who are supporting that the information you get from these countries very much one sided or money that i spoke to a lot of people who are not with the syrian government but in this is i think the most important difference to the media coverage here they were all against this war which is now raging so they say that all of the we are not with our government right now we support our army in pushing back the foreign terrorists from our

countries so then we can make the changes in the reforms. and you can watch the full interview with ryder attitude of the german news magazine in an hour here on our. to look on the program this hour though one of the hearings face foul word russia has suffered several major failures in the past two years leaving the head of the space center out of a job. and belgium construction workers are laughed out in the cold as the continuing you are a crisis makes it cheaper immigrant labor more attractive more details than that it's just a few minutes to. download. so choose your life stream quality and enjoy your favorite. t.v. is not required to watch on t.v.

to allow china to get any of that prerogative so what the u.s. has been doing in the last year president obama announced a strategic shift into asia pacific so-called asia pivot which is an aggressive policy that involves surging american military presence throughout the region and this isn't just possibly laying the groundwork for a future war in asia but it's also preventing very productive international economic exchanges between our two countries which is desperately needed especially in the down economy of the united states. and while hillary clinton is a looking after the u.s. interest in beijing her democratic party is getting ready to officially declare barack obama its presidential candidate first lady michelle obama addressed the party convention urging voters to give her husband another term to fix the troubled u.s. economy romney and obama are now running about even in polls ahead of the number six election the november six party but political commentator and author of the

american manifesto ted rall says both candidates could be a bad choice for americans. there is definitely a clear difference between misters romney and obama but that doesn't mean that either of them is going to reach out and do much about the pressing problem of unemployment underemployment and the stagnant economy mr romney's plan seems to be to bring us back to the 1980's and trickle down reaganomics and president obama has had a three year try to turn things around but he decided to bail out the banks rather than the american people so i would say that for people who are worrying about work and being able to put food on the table things are not likely to get it and. then my kid wears the united states certainly affects the world mainly through its brother militaristic outlook we are despite the headlines that we hear all that we see all the time here in the states about how the wars in afghanistan and iraq

around think down here still is going to be a considerable forward aggressive strategy around the world particularly in the middle east i think whether you're looking at a romney administration or an obama administration i wouldn't look for the united states to have a different foreign policy in any kind of substantive way under romney than we have today because of the two party traps for a reason you know there's there's two terrible choices it's a lot like sitting down to a restaurant where they offer two needles and they're both just terrible so i personally would rather eat somewhere else and i would say well because you know either a protest vote for a obscure third party for all show up at the polls and not vote for president i want them to know that i'm voting and i'm available to vote but i cannot endorse either of these two. candidates first exclusive interview with our team president

russia has fired up some major plans for future success the most recent incident to place last month when russia's program carrier rocket failed to orbit two communications satellites are just as account of takes up the story the russian president has dismissed the lead even used to rove as the head of the space center following a series of mishaps in the russian space industry mr rove resigned after last month's failed launches of the express and the two and the telkom three communication satellites he had been in charge of the facility that manufactures launch rockets and satellites since two thousand and five prime minister dmitry medvedev had pointed to the fact that russia had seven failed launches in the past one and a half years these resulted in the loss of ten satellites he warns that the high rate of failure marked a quote colossal difference with other leading space powers now russia space officials have blamed the failures on manufacturing flaws as well as engineering

mistakes but experts say that the decline of a once proud space program is rooted in a post soviet industrial meltdown that has hurt modernization. despite a steadily growing flow of cash an aging workforce and a lack of responsibility at the very top have plagued russia space industries experts say that russia's technical problems are surmountable but what the industry really needs they say is fresh blood and new talent despite all these setbacks there are big plans in store for russia's four a into the final frontier the country's planning to build research stations on mars before moving on to other planets and russian scientists are preparing for the next giant leap for mankind with plans for a manned base on the moon within ten years experts say that with ambitious goals like these a failure is simply not an option for russia's future in space and of r.t. in moscow and now is take a look at some other stories from around the world seven people have been arrested and sixteen injured in clashes between protesters and police near the syrian

investigating the death of palestinian leader yasser arafat's are seeking to zoom his body in ramallah for examination according to his medical records he suffered a stroke but many palestinians believe israel poisoned him something the jury stay denies are the palestine liberation organization for thirty five years i became the first president of the palestinian authority in the one nine hundred ninety six. tough economic times see people looking for ways to cut cost and that's were cheaper immigrant labor camp play its part construction workers in belgium one of the better off nations complain of growing and fair competition from polish builders and was no end in sight to the euro zone financial crisis the competition will only get tougher as he says our cillian are reports we're here at a construction site where all the workers as well as the owners of the construction company are from poland belgium is seeing an influx of foreign workers from other

e.u. countries and more often than not these workers left the belgian counterparts in the brig for example a province in flanders which has a significant construction sector thirty eight percent of all companies have lost bids to foreign firms ninety percent of them expect to lose boots in the future and this is prompted fears that in the coming months what and five companies will have to lay people off their prices or to do what we can call which the they're using european rules to come over here or. need to work. but if that work is going to other companies who setting prices that are too low because they are not respecting religious lesions. then we will have companies who will go bankrupt or we will lose a lot of jobs in. local firms say they are also losing out when it comes to speed

of delivery our billing sector is heavily unionized and to do good for a strict working new rules but if you look at the foreign companies they don't have to adhere to that people work ten twelve thirteen fourteen hours a day six six days out of seven and then of course for delivery speed of your project. is a huge advantage to the laws designed to protect local workers keeping them out of work belgium is very expensive work for example and. about three times less. we have to pay for workers and is to relate the price for only a run the project. polish companies here. for the good. and for the lower price and more belgian clients are opting to try

their services i was looking for a solution which was not identical through heavy contractual parts which you have with budget structural firms. and these people are much more flexible so that's that's why we try it and it was it was a success europe's debt crisis has dealt a massive blow to a sector that employs up to sixteen million e.u. citizens and with no clear signs of the tough times letting up tension is brewing especially when local firms feel they are getting the short end of the stick on their. yes are still your teeth and we're. all right straight to business news with katie and katie i know when there is on the way because we're already talking about gas i know it's depressing isn't it. i'm not ready for when absolutely not but never mind now this is the situation at

the moment i gave you a little earlier on now the european commission they've launched a competition probe into russian energy giant gas problems now the brush so we're used to come competition watchdog says that their concerns include prevention of gas supply diversification unfair prices and the hindering of the free flow of gas across europe now the e.u. imports eighty percent of its gas needs one of which comes from russia this isn't the first time gas problem is being investigated by european authorities and some experts believe there is no solution to all of this and here's what boiling gas is rodney way from when it comes to. gazprom has a desire in a right to try to be as present as possible in its end user markets and the e.u. is trying to prevent monopolies from from controlling sensitive areas so it's not been the first time and i don't think it's going to be the last time this latest

proposal yet fully played out at the moment i don't think it's a push on prices i think it's more a push back to gazprom total presence and desire to get more diversified supply i don't think we can say that the e.u. is pushing for a particular price per se but more control over markets both sides have a very clear right to for gazprom to be in europe in large scale and for europe to try to diversify its supply so i don't think you get a cut and dry conclusion to this right away. and let's move on to the markets and see asia is still pulling in the us off to the u.s. manufacturing contract to. the straight is economy growing at a slower pace as well all of that is taking it but in the region the markets are also nervous about the e.c.b. meeting at this week and there's plenty of speculation as to what policies the president. will enforce the u.s. markets that finished up makes. that was as trading resumed dr the labor day is a three day holiday ultimate is about full expected

a launch of the next generation i phone help to boost the tech heavy nasdaq as you can see that up around pulls up in the data so in the manufacturing sector for third straight month. elsewhere as well got the dow jones down up a percent so if we look at the cars as we'll be able to see that the year is still to go play now in. their old dicksee expected for the common currency and that is really as investors. thursday's big meeting in brussels now we've also got the ruble as well again moving and shaking and that's the one i was time on the same can be said for the equity markets as well here in moscow they too will be you know shortly vestas on choose day they were absorbing the generally mood from the international markets the most their markets as i say would begin to chill they are about the first minutes inside as we look at the oil prices u.s.
