a change of government about every ten years and traditionally powers switched between the party of the nationalist party. and the liberal party first in one thousand nine hundred and then again in one thousand nine hundred five when we had in the back referendums on about sovereignty and certainly the thrust ration and the animosity and in fact hostility towards cuba without experience those experiences as continue to grow and some commentators especially on the right even say good riddance that they would like to leave the federation. there is a difference in political cultures traditionally is a lot more democratic left wing in favor of more state intervention in the economy well english canada has over the past several years especially since the election of stephen harper in the conservative government has been going recently to the

right diminishing the states holding the economy and cutting social programs and acting and right running rough. over the rights of unions and more. police have confirmed one person died when a man opened fire during premier pulliam or wa speech go target a call for more insight on the election and quebec. also find out why the liberals have lost popular support of what exit from the federation could mean for the rest of canada. and how modest student protests influence the vote after thousands clashed with police outraged at tuition hikes amid some tough economic times so go talk to dot com for all the details.

the u.n. chief has called for an a on to the militarization of the syrian conflict speaking at the general stanley bunky moon sad the crisis has taken a brutal turn. 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 debate begins in the next coming weeks. now reporting there now this as many are fleeing the syrian conflict to neighboring states with over one hundred thousand leaving in august alone countries like turkey and jordan say they are feeling the strain of the influx of displaced syrians as are supposedly are now reports. at least ten thousand syrian refugees for these two 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 there are already eighty thousand syrian refugees inside turkey and kurds are fraid that these figures could swell to at least 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 where brought this up 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 and 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 standing in queues for hours 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 it the best 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 death at the same time there are concerns that you just need a spark to erupt into flames 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 bigger humanitarian catastrophe and 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 main media coverage claimed that the mosque is was at the time when this so-called

battle of the muskets 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 and all 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 public takes and the big interests of 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 said 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.

or you see the full interview with. editor of the german news magazine in twenty minutes here on r t also this hour shuffle for russia's space industry. major changes face the country's once pioneering space program which has suffered several few. mishaps in the past two years and belgian construction workers are left out in the cold as the continuing euro crisis makes cheaper and the current labor more attractive so more details on that in just a few minutes here in r.t.e. . download the official publication so choose your language stream quality and enjoy your favorite. l.t.v. is not required to watch on its own you need to use your mobile device more joy to

you any time. now warning not to meddle in regional affairs welcomed washington's top diplomat to china and have her visit secretary of state hillary clinton urged southeast asian nations to work together to resolve territorial disputes in the south china sea clinton's regional tourist seen as u.s. attempts to escalate its diplomatic presence making its interests known some chinese media claim she is fueling tensions trying to bolster the position of some parties in the dispute anti-war activist john glaser says washington is trying to ensure it's the only superpower with influence in the asia pacific. china's economic and military rise has led to some local superiority and washington views superiority in the geo political sense as its own prerogative and they don't want

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 exchange between our two countries which is desperately needed especially in the down economy of the united states and while hillary clinton is looking after the u.s. interests in beijing her fellow democrats are getting ready to officially declare barack obama their presidential candidate first lady michelle obama addressed the party convention urging voters to give her husband and nother term to fix the trouble of u.s. economy but political commentator and author of the anti-american manifesto would have brawl 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 three years trying 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 and . then my kid worse 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 are ramping down just they are 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 meals 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 or 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 of them. and his first exclusive interview with our team president let him report and speaks about america's war in afghanistan so watch the full interview with the russian president right here that's their state. in his first t.v. interview since his inauguration. the start of so you can be u.s.

and its allies went into afghanistan used them and now they're looking forward to getting out to be uprooted speaks exclusively to our t.v. . well the e.u. has launched an investigation into whether or not russia's gas brahmas blocked competition in the natural gas markets in our business desk as the details. gazprom is under pressure so once again as the european commission challenges russia is the energy giant for possible and competitive prices in central and europe as well but yeah i'll have all the details in the business but it's not about by this time. after several space related failure as russia has fired up some major plans for future success the most recent incident took place last month when russia's pronoun carrier rocket failed to orbit two communications satellites and of takes up the story. the russian president has dismissed. 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 no 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 how hours 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 and aging workforce and the lack of responsibility at the very top have played 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 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 lucy catherine of r.t.e. in moscow. and now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world seven people have been arrested and at least sixteen injured in clashes between protesters and police near the syrian embassy in cairo the demonstrators were chanting and to ask slogans and throwing rocks at officers one point protesters tried to break through a police cordon around the embassy to hang a free syrian army flag. thousands of protesters gathered in the center of yemen's capital city of sanaa to demand the prosecution of the country's former leader ali

abdullah saleh they want to see the former leader stand trial for the murder of dissenters in last year's uprising sally stepped down from power on the terms of guaranteed immunity but has been accused of clinging to power from behind the scenes. colombia's president has announced a breakthrough agreement to start talks to words and the conflict with leftist militant group fark the deal was reached after six months of talks in cuba with norway acting as brokers to the preliminary negotiations the conflict between the fark and the colombian government has claimed tens of thousands of lives and is the longest running in the western hemisphere. french judges investigating the death of palestinian leader yasser arafat's are seeking to zoom these vadi in ramallah for examination according to his medical records he suffered a stroke but matty palestinians believe israel poisoned him something the jewish state denies the palestine liberation organization for thirty five years and became

the first president of the palestinian authority in 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 at unfair competition from polish builders and with no end in sight to the eurozone financial crisis that competition will only get tougher as artists are still in our reports who were 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 bids in the future and

this is prompted fears that in the coming months one in five companies will have to lay people off their prices or to do what we can call which they'll be using european rules to come over here or people who. need to work. but if that work is going to other companies who are setting prices that are too low because they are not respecting its lesions. then we will have a niece who will go bankrupt or we will lose a lot of jobs in our. local firm say they are also losing out when it comes to speed of delivery our building sectors have lee unionized. to do got fro strict working new rules but if you look at the foreign companies you 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 the delivery speed of

your project. is a huge advantage so the laws designed to protect local workers are keeping them out of work belgium is very expensive work for example and. about three times less. we have to pay for workers and this. prize for only run the project. polish companies here. for the good. and for the lower price and more belgian clients are opting to try their services but i was looking for a solution which was not identical through heavy contractual parts which you have with. construction firms. and these people are much more flexible so that's

that's why we tried 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're getting the short end of the stick on their. own turf desser cilia r t antwerp in belgium. right now to the world of business work a to give got all the latest for us well sad news is that winter is on the way and the gas wars have already been gone absolutely right marina and right now the european commission they've launched a competition probe into russian energy giant gas from now the brussels based competition watchdog says their concerns include prevention of gas supply diversification and a fair price is the hindering of the free flow of gas across europe and the e.u. impose eighty percent of its gas needs one third of which comes from russia this

isn't the first time that gas problem is investigated by european authorities and some experts believe there is no quick solution to all of this now bradley way from capital believes it's more about market control rather than the high prices gas problem is charging 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 probe present 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 gas pumps 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 dave may be following the situation as per usual i was checking out the russian market shower because they are moving and shaking and they have been doing so for about twenty five minutes and as you can see so far we are looking negative figures we've got to come. down for the mindset is around four ten percent to me was if they can drag themselves up into positive territory the day if we look at the ruble that is moving it's not the style of us we can see is that she declining in the first few minutes in trade for the euro one twenty five twenty two for the common currency this. is very much taking their cue from what happened in asia earlier on in the session is a particularly volatile one with the asian stocks down and that was it then taking their cue from the u.s. manufacturing which contract is for. and also a straight is going to be good at

a slower pace to expectations so high this week the e.c.b. to rebuild details they're expected to form the buying program to ease the markets to reduce tensions i mentioned the u.s. as well as check it out it was a mixed finish for wall street the close as you can see there completely different amounts largely because the nasdaq benefited from what was going on with after all there was lots of optimism in the with the much anticipated launch of the next generation. as for the dow jones it was the modified data that really took its toll on little meanwhile u.s. crude inventor is tumble to a five month lows will see the oil prices and see how that sets the us mostly as hurricane isaac forced the closure of all hot forms in the gulf of mexico refineries in the. well this least surprised at the lowest level since it and.

now must the markets for now worried i'll be back at around eleven twenty and. it's going to be all about europe because that will move in a second that's on our it's on the way katie thanks very much indeed and later here in r.t. we talked to a german reporter who worked in syria and says that citizen journalism is often abused to pressure politicians they are that's after the headlines in just a few moments.

they were young and high flying. their careers were on takeoff. that flight for them was one of many. and the last one. leaving the ice one or two.

russia would be so much brighter if you knew about song from feinstein freshens. who screams talks on t.v. dot com. in his first t.v. interview since his inauguration what about if mitt romney gets in a cook up some quotes here from just a month or two ago could you work with him so that. we'll work with whoever gets elected as president by the american people but oh if it will only be as efficient
