he gets in a could you work with them so. we'll work with whoever gets elected as president by the american people but if it will only be as efficient as our partners allow it to be bloodier putin speaks exclusively to our tea. party live here in moscow top stories not exactly how the russian capital the russian president says western backed rebels in syria are basically guantanamo bay detainees run amok and inclusion spoke exclusively to r.t. in his first t.v. interview since returning to the kremlin. reportedly considers giving syrian rebels heavy artillery as part of increased support for anti-government forces paris is moving to protect opposition enclaves and help them create a government in waiting. and the european central bank announces a new crisis plan based on potentially unlimited from struggling eurozone nations.

holding meetings across the continent some experts still believe they should just let the euro come out. in the eurozone up next artie's laura smith interviews a former chief accountant for the european commission marta and dress and she gives us her view on the status of the economy and accusations of a botched leadership. as european politicians go back to school after the summer break i'm talking to m.e.p.a. martyr and dress and who used to be the european commission's chief accountant with the eurozone crisis rumbling on we're talking about her predictions for the challenges that face the european union in the next season marchand dress and thanks very much for talking to us today now a new leaders have been bracing themselves for

a market panic over the summer but that never really happened does that mean that financially we're now out of the woods well i think what's happening is that people are still in markets are still awaiting for the outcome this thursday of the poly sci of the board that deals with policy in the european central bank and there's also the decision of the german court about this realty mechanism so i think. it's too early to say if we are out of the woods i think we are a long way ahead to be out of the woods if we are are. but i think there today you know it's too early do you feel then that the euro as a single currency is still under threat yes for me deeply and the threat what will come out of this meetings that i have mentioned is probably. way to

sort out the most immediate problem which is the fact that italy and spain are having to buy real it's really high interest rates. by the essence is that the economy is not growing the essence is that unemployment is currently part of this bailout is going to. banks that are in very bad check namely in spain now in my view those banks should be closed those bailout. odds are a waste of money let's take some of those issues separately that you mentioned that a german court is going to decide on the legality of the fiscal pact for germany what will the court's decision be in your view i think the germans will be sort of forced to agree to this not not the pact in itself but the fund their

stability fund which is going to bail out all the member states that are in trouble and i think they're going to agree now the issue with these funds is that it has very important ties to austerity measures and then you know it comes to its left to the interpretation of the different member states what they interpreted as austerity measures but at the end of the day austerity become a dirty word particularly in say ireland and greece and bailouts amongst the people of germany are deeply unpopular and yes they are you know all around me an article in the wall street journal a couple of days ago and he was showing arland precisely as an example of how they're coming out of the price well i told him yesterday have you spoken to the irish people that's the issue you know they speak. with the prime

ministers and the governmental officials but the people who are suffering the austerity measures are the people in the street and nobody's talking to these people i have spoken to irish people and they are very uncomfortable with the measures how likely do you think it is that the european central bank will ride once again to the rescue and how long are they going to be able to keep on doing that for raggy sort of hinted i would say. to the fact that he would. find it legal according to the treaties for the european central bank to buy bonds from the government on the secondary market so this would sort of give some air to the member states in that they would be able to get financing had long cost but on the other side this means printing money so the feeling that is that they could buy these top or in bonds but if it does that it

will impose tougher conditions austerity on the countries and the countries don't want to agree to that yet but it seems that if the e.c.b. buys the bonds the tie to the sterett in measures is more vague than it is if actually the funds stability fund is used to. finance this member states in trouble i mean this all these mechanisms are fairly new and i think the legality of this legal framework has not been well thought i mean it seems from what you're saying that everyone is is in the dark corner is that there are these quite complicated measures going on which are perceived differently by different countries depending on their economic position in spain for example they are trying to force the prime minister to actually ask for the bailout now there's a total confusion because before the summer supposedly spain go to

a bailout for its banks and now it seems it's going to ask for another bailout to save its own economy. it's not clear if the bailout of the banks was subject to their story to measures or not there's a memorandum of understanding still to be signed. and there's a complete confusion but at the end of the. again. money that's going to have to be printed that it's not this money doesn't actually see this doesn't sound like an act economic bloc that's working its way out of a crisis in a coherent fashion no well for me it's no surprise you know i was in the commission and actually the people in the commission live in the rivalry tower they don't actually understand what the issue is with the economy in the european union and we are where we are because of the lack of discipline of the member states but very much also because of the lack of control of the european commission on the policy

that they have put out this crisis is to a certain extent or to a large extent the result of the good or bad policies that they put in place but they don't assume any responsibility angle or merkel the german chancellor has just come back from a trip to china where she tried to restore the confidence of chinese investors in europe how attractive do you think european assets are at the moment to nations like the chinese the european union the european parliament even have legislated in a way that they have opened our markets totally to the chinese and other. markets are other investors and. right now you know they have an easy ride really but this is this is a problem for us because our industry has ceased to grow because you know these

people are being buried in our markets so china for me not the solution the solution for us in europe is enhanced in our industry growing our industries and people getting people employed so that's the price that european countries might pay for chinese investment basically yes i mean if i had to decide they wouldn't be very happy about chinese investment obviously in terms of prices. you know you have to do the best you can but in china for us. does not represent a big opportunity i think we represent more an opportunity for them than they do for us. in other countries bulk area has just frozen its plans to join the euro zone it does remain a member of the e.u. what advantages do you think bulgaria gets by being

a part of the european union but not a part of the euro zone while it gets the funding you know the issue about the structural funding because all this new comers into the european union are now getting the big buck of their funding whereas the old ones like greece and spain and italy and france and the u.k. obviously are getting less so i think the bulgarians have been clever for i mean they. are getting out of the euro problem but still they remain. big important proceed paeans of structure of funding. of all the issues that we've talked about now that the european union has gone sort of back to school what will you be focusing on what's your major concern. well obviously major concern is for. economic point of view what are they proposing to create employment and i haven't heard good ideas in this regard. from

a budget point of view you know i think the budget trued the european union budget should be reduced you know we have invested more than one hundred and fifty billion in the last year and in the decades an average of one hundred thirty and what have we got you know we've got the crisis the ratings agency moody's has revised its outlook for the european union's debt rating to negative what does that mean for investors in european countries and also in the euro well it's bad news obviously for european countries for the eurozone as a whole i mean credit rating agencies are part of the problem not part of the solution because obviously they take certain parameters and they are of course in a way with the rating for seeing you know the interest rates go up. so this is a problem that i really don't know how it's going to be sought the european union

wants to have centralized but everything they centralized doesn't work afterwards. i think it's really by a new standard showing that for me the euro has a short life it. trying to say thank you very much thank you.

for. the motion to be so much brighter than if you knew me about song from phones to impressions. from star totty dot com. spanning continents. and oceans the connections. of the billion empower the pacific. the russian apec summit on r.t.e. . i had a family i lived in a fairly nice community it wasn't rich it was an upscale it was just like you know archie bunker's society ok then they started showing up here what happened was my company decided i could get cheap labor and they got rid of us. this is their

locomotive. leaving the ice monarchy. top sources are not see the russian president says western backed rebels in syria are basically guantanamo bay detainees rather more than a putin spoke exclusively to r.t. in his first t.v. interview since returning to the crown the. european central bank announces a new anti crisis plan based on potentially a limited form buying from struggling eurozone nations key leaders are holding meetings across the continent there's some experts to believe they should just let the euro collapse. also reporting this up front so reportedly considers giving syrian rebels heavy artillery as part of increased support for anti government forces or since moving to protect opposition in place and help them create a government in waiting. now i'll be back with more news stories we're in fifteen

minutes from now in the meantime let's get the latest sport with union. thanks for joining us this is sports today we have got plenty of good stuff ahead for you including all the. final perhaps russia holer las training session before friday's opening world cup qualifying clash with northern ireland in moscow. next game maria sharapova remains on course for her second grand slam success of the year following victory over mari importantly in the quarterfinals of the u.s. open. and hitting the heights russia surpassed their beijing paralympics medal tally with a few days of competition still left to go into. russia have

held their final training session ahead of their opening world cup twenty eight fourteen qualifier with northern ireland the clash will mark fabio capello's first competitive match in charge while the team will also have a new captain with eager to me given the honor of leading his country richard dunne port fleet was more. it's a staggering statistic but russia haven't qualified for a world cup since two thousand and two and that's why from the a capella has been brought in to try and change just. russia coming off the back of a disappointing campaign at the euro two thousand and twelve finals of italian is confident he's seen enough positives to help his side to get to brazil in two thousand and fourteen what happened the past. was no good. but i think go a ways in my mind to see for what to achieve absolutely. the next it will be a really really good i think the team that we go to these good games they did play

a euros they played in some games really really way. and i want to see the same. spirit the same that this image that i that they saw in some games that he played here capello will have a fully fit squad to choose from all the players are based in russia and of course there's no under a shove in who's been dropped italian as an answer to me to come by out of his butt in fine form the spotlight so far this season will start at left back however he could be a bit short of striking options are just to fit forwards however this isn't something that's worrying capello his moment. they open after the game the games are not going well and there will be fit. but i think these two for one i selected three four was he selected twenty four players. after the game i will decide if

i open or if someone will be a jury. i would select new players friday will be a private moment but you're going to need serve your captain his country in a competitive match for the first time as he's developed into one of the best defensive midfielders in europe. whether he's expecting a tough physical test against the northern irish or the gold i think bill please very aggressively against us we must make sure there are pressing game is good to the game to them if we manage to do that then i'm sure it will be fine but still some ill feeling from the fans towards the russian team pulling back paul display in poland and ukraine and it's unlikely that friday's game will be a ceremony however capello's men put in a good performance and get all three points that could go a long way to getting the fans back through the turnstiles russia will start as i was in favor of some friday as they go by two thousand and fourteen world cup qualifying campaign underway against northern ireland while her opponents have a reputation of being a very difficult team to play against and probably

a capello's team will have to be very very best if they want to come way of all three points. darty moscow. frank reichardt will see some familiar faces on the pitch when his saudi arabia squad meet world and european champions spain in a friendly also on friday the former barcelona monitor hoping to apply some of that new style against the number one team in the land. well you have to enjoy. playing against such high quality players. it can bring you much for the future because you see them acting you see the ball you see them playing together. so you can learn a lot of it. i think we have to make the best there will. not be afraid to enjoy. the thing we can but of course there's a lot of difference let's talk tennis for maria sharapova has her place in the semifinals of the u.s.

open the russian fighting back from a set down in her reign affected lost a tie with marion bartoli leaving four zero in the first one play resumed on wednesday bartoli julie took the opener six for. pocket style to secure the when i took her place in the semi where she now faces top seed victoria azarenka. but i think we both played pretty aggressive. competitive. to win. but she said. you know kind of her breakthrough in terms of a grand slam being so solid so consistently remember on the world the first time. while there was a shot in the men's quarterfinals as world number one on top seed roger federer crushed the swiss going down in four sets to the big serving sixteen times burdick from the czech republic to twenty six will face a spot on the murray in the semi. i'm going to be beating the

street it's not even any trouble so you know i was always. careful that anything could happen and actually it happened in the third said that you know came strong. but. you know even more happy with. there was a. to to you know. pressure and you know it's something extra foot of course but murray the third seed earlier became the first man through to the semi's it's wasn't easy though against. who had one stage was a set five one before the tide turned to start becoming three three six seven six six two six zero i know the curtain has come down and andy roddick's career the american losing his last sixteen clash with argentina one at martin del potro at the u.s. open bringing to an end his twelve year career which saw him win flushing meadows

in two thousand and three and reach three wimbledon finals i feel right at the back end of the golden generation you know when i was just the records that were built but. as tough a situation it is in the grand scheme of things it's a dream i mean it's something you want i mean that's not hard for someone who's. got a you know however many kids and is working two jobs but food that's hard you know what i did it wasn't hard. to klitschko brothers better look at freddy's a bike former england cricket star freddie flintoff is set to try his luck as a heavyweight boxer flintoff stating he wants to stand with the sport's biggest specimens the thirty four year old son one point one three meters tall himself in a round hundred kilograms so size might not be an issue but punches the behavior former all rounder and listening former worlds better with champion darren mcgrady

last part of his training stuff until he had face another multi sport star former all black rugby star sonny bill williams is heavyweight champion and you have to listen to the pardon pics in london finally where team russia have drastically improved on their medal tally from beijing four years ago the spike the british event still being far from finished the country moving up to second place in the overall medal standings with seventy three including twenty eight goals. the latest nine from the english capital. it's taken race it should bloody go up fifteen long years to find that it clinched paralympic gold yes there were several world in continental golds in the run up to the most significant story of her life but all those achievements faith in comparison to what she accomplished in london but that is the morning when i come home from the paralympics thank god for this nick to me and that he saved my life because i was on the verge of death at the end of last year then i'll meet my friends and we'll celebrate my great performance the russian

athletes are traditionally the strong in track and field and swimming disciplines and proved just that to move on them as well with the medal counts going into double digits in both events in them about one gold in the fifteen. meters that becoming her second paralympic calculate in eight years. i devote this nick three to those who supported me but first of all i devoted to my coach and his wife because if it wasn't for them this victory would have never happened at all they are like my second parents like doctors and psychologists. with a few days is still to go with a lot of them there and pixar russia has already surpassed its medal count in beijing four years ago it's now clear that the host of the next the winter games in sochi will fight for a place and that's all free but more importantly russia continues to show an outward trend when it comes to the medal count and the number of athletes participating as well on cost of artsy from the paralympic park in london you can
