after revision fell to seven point eight percent this is the lowest number since january two thousand and nine when barack obama actually came into power the u.s. economy added a further one hundred forty eight thousand jobs last month slightly more than markets and expected however some analysts remain skeptical about this report. it could be a milestone if it's a one off and we don't see a follow through of strong jobs growth in the u.s. but it could be a turning point in markets aren't want to speculate and be a little bit skeptical over the actual port seven point eight is a big difference what expectations were for about a point where they put two and the real worry here is could this be something to do with elections coming up in just a game for politicians to play or is this a meaningful improvement in the u.s. jobs growth all right well let's take a look at that market reaction there and it seems indeed most investors are thinking that this data is too good to be true gains have almost come down to zero

right now with dow jones putting up just point three percent nasdaq see them in the red this hour but in europe it was all about buying and confident mood there as you can see with the dax up one point three percent led by financials and in russia we had a pretty successful session on friday after three days of losses with the r.t.s. out of almost two percent. all right then let's take a look at currencies finally the euro is gaining massively against the dollar on these jobs figures that course when there's optimism the dollar goes down and the russian ruble so much strength against the possible. price that's off and i'll be back with one final friday up to around fifty five minutes time coming up shortly our team discusses with the iraqi prime minister the ways to solve the syrian crisis and easing tensions across the.

hello mr prime minister and welcome to the program hello what do iraq and russia have in common in terms of their approach to the syrian crisis and do you think the two countries can come up with a joint proposal on how to sell it but of course the crisis is a matter of serious concern both for the countries in the region and for the world's major powers and it's not only countries this issue has been on the agenda for many international organizations we have repeatedly said that we take the syrian crisis as our own problem it is a very important country with its own political position we did warn everyone earlier and keep in mind that the fire the start and syria spill over the borders to engulf other countries that the region could find in the end will have a little impact the middle east is one of the major energy producers of the world just like russia we believe that the use of force cannot be a solution to the crisis many other countries now share this approach even those that used to think that supplying arms to the opposition would be sufficient to generate regime change and they recognize that it is impossible to settle the city

in crazy use of force this is also russia's position russia has iraq and many other countries are united in their conviction that force will not end the crisis we need to look for a peaceful solution to the political dialogue that is our joint task i mean iraq russia and the whole international community to help both sides find common ground to agree in a mutually acceptable form of government this new government must be based on the principles of freedom and democracy the syrians must have the right to vote they must have a constitution and these are the things that the syrian people didn't when they started the revolution but of course not everybody in city agrees with those demands some groups don't think that reforms are needed we've heard different statements and demands of course dialogue will continue because we are very much concerned about what's going on in syria we have been seriously affected by the situation in the country we have experienced some spillover effects of the. sitting out races here in iraq we will discuss this issue with their russian counterparts

to talk about a possible ways to make this thing initiatives more effective including the original peace plan put forward by the i believe as opposed to the flawed proposals made during the sessions of the ministerial committee on the geneva agreement according to them there is no military solution to the conflict the agreements call for an end to arms supplies to the opposition on the regime and unfortunately a number of states ignore these initiatives and continue to send arms to syria which only makes the situation worse this is where russia iraq china and many was the night of countries in the region agree it is our judy to address this issue and try to find ways out of this term which we are afraid of might turn out a fully fledged regional war. but how would you assess the calls by some countries especially arab countries that have the support of the west for military intervention in order to resolve the crisis in syria. i give them a piece of brotherly advice forget it he was starts a fire will be destroyed by the fire in the end those who want syria to follow this

path have to understand that it will destroy the syrian people and that is what's happening in syria right now cities line rules the war rages on and is likely to spill over involving new arcturus in the international regional what religious and political ones if the kid about themselves and their people if they see stability and security if the kid of a city and its people are that they have to stop sowing the seeds of discord i said lying arms they also have to stop thinking it will be them who will see a serious future i met several representatives of the syrian opposition and i felt the understand the threat that is coming from the i don't force us to provide them with weapons these forces openly declare that they want to interfere in cities affairs of the syrian nation is against it do you share the view that it's foreign interference in syria's affairs that's made the situation in the country so dangerous that i've said look awful and they will keep driving it to an even more dangerous to greet until eventually it will backfire. in the states that are now sponsoring the syrian opposition all these states will face up peoples and i'm

raised due to sectarian violence and foreign interference the spillover effect and expansion of their already feeling. if these countries keep sending arms and using force for a change in regime their stability will be in jeopardy and the situation inside these countries will be not much better than in syria what do you think about the national partnership government is the best form of governance to help to move iraq forward or are there any negative aspects that make that governance less effective and what do you think of the majority government something many other countries rely on or a. partnership government has exhausted both its capacity and agenda it was necessary previous stages but not any longer right now everyone even the people of iraq feel that the regime of national partnership keeps our hands tied penders our development stands in the way of the breakthrough not what iraq could make in the development of infrastructure but the services sector and economic recovery we hear more and more voices now in our society and in parliament are calling for a shift to majority government to make parliament united sort of can pass decisions

and laws they would help the rulers did because right now the government that's paralyzed it can't do anything partnership originally built to pursue a major breakthrough his name degraded to a partnership the generates obstacles because of that we need a majority government and i am working hard to make it a reality both iraqi government and its citizens still suffer from regular terrorist attacks who's behind the violence international players interfering in your affairs or al-qaeda militants opposing the political process or are there any other reasons that the iraqi people are not aware of why is it so hard to take out these armed groups that are still out there and with. a show of. violence continues and is being done to all the factors you mentioned foreign intervention is fully underway what they want to do is to use these acts of violence to prepare for the next pull city and stage is the same states that are known to feed on syria they are sending arms and militants there. and over again their goal is to change syria then iraq and ultimately the entire region also al qaeda as it came to life again

regrettably as part of the arab spring it flooded the streets in the albums of egypt tunisia yemen and slogans groups and terrorist attacks are clear signs of its revival and iraq could not escape and those states that are into feeding want to escape it either but the really embarrassing thing is that the national partnership government cannot be effective in the fight against terrorists and that's a problem when your partner supports both security measures on terrorist acts you get problems so i would like to go into detail man i am only saying that this is one of the dancers to the national partnership movement but how can we expect security agencies to control the situation when the government's own arms are money transport and the nature of the government are used to support those seeking to cardio terrorist attacks. mr really key when iraq was about to buy f. sixteen fighter jets iraqi kurds along with some other neighboring states including the gulf countries voiced their concerns over the future deal are these concerns justified and can they be allayed they are totally unsubstantiated these people may

still have old stereotypes of iraq the go back to the times of dictatorship there were kind of tries by reckless operations and wars and invasions some regimes big and small still have expansionist ambitions but they have learned no lessons from saddam hussein's experience he had it all troops and offensive capabilities that the end of his career was a disaster these people still believe that just like in the past iraq is still capable of meeting its neighbors concocts into specifics and attacking other countries like iran kuwait and saudi arabia or slaughtering people in its southern or northern regions but today iraq is a different country that does not wage war and its own people the kurds who believe that iraq is taking up arms to fight them or seriously deluded in these talks and no more than political maneuvering used to make out for the mistakes and failures of the past these countries are aware that present day iraq has nothing in common with the dictatorships of the past it is a democratic. if which is against the use of force are set forth in the laws adopted by

a parliament generally speaking army in principle is non interference in the fears of other states but we would like this to be a two way street but the reality is that iraq is located in an arms infested region all the neighboring states have impressive arsenals of modern weapons even a smaller states in the region have more weapons than iraq a large state with a rich history would be an appeal for iraq as entitle to self defense so it has the right to use different armaments to protect our sovereignty and so it can have the same weapons other countries who claim they need to see weapons or as iraq to defend their sovereignty would later leave their concerns by saying that iraq is not interested in offensive weapons only defensive ones and indeed we would later have very strong defensive weapons to repel any attack on iraq sovereignty that primitive weapons aren't enough what we need something very strong and it's absolutely sophisticated to counter any possible aggression this would make anyone who plans to breach or sovereignty in its think twice before attacking iraq mr prime minister as commander in chief when do you expect iraq armed forces to reach combat very nice in terms of the size of personnel and materials we already have

the number of troops that we need but we are still working on the list of weapons and hardware we are receiving weapons supplies from the us former soviet nations and possibly from russia too in line with the contracts that we signed earlier however we expect to ensure maximum defensive capabilities by twenty twenty according to the plans we have at the moment with the time we expect to reequip the armed forces with powerful weapons to protect iraq on land and in the air so currently we will still be able to defend the nation but our capabilities need to be maintained and further improved and for good and thank you. no one should be proud else heaps of scrap metal littering pristine arctic landscape buildings tilting. foundation pipes being black smoke over the snow covered peaks the traces of the soviet industrial activity on the burgen

archipelago don't make a pretty picture of the guiding principle here is the worst the better locals like to tell the story about back in soviet times when norwegians were visiting barons were they also in maine. and how prosperous this was well times have obviously changed by this so it lags say still attracting the region tourists or barons work cons watch native cash that's why while. our goal is common as was uncovered here a few days ago instead of throwing it away the local administration painted in you . where that can do nine hundred eighty s. there was a burgeoning mining community the soviet union was determined to maintain its own costs. half way between north america and western europe the burden archipelago is

part of norway with a special status that allows other countries to set up industrial bases here in the middle of the cold war it served as the use of western most outposts now it's one of the last preserved relics. of the soviet union if it was cut off from any financial support for two decades curious western tourists think it could be even more appealing for russia. to keep its presence on spitsbergen russia still maintaining a coal mine here but in terms of profit is far behind local souvenir shops. is a big hit the defunct are incurred and still helps keep the money flowing. but . the local admin. tree shin is increasingly under pressure to bring the infrastructure up to more than standards these

modernization efforts are not very popular with tourist operators if you come into a very authentic place like arms it should stay the way it is that would be my wish i mean that's the part also the let you know authentic traditionally up to. i should not i would not like to have it in the shiny condition to be on those this time to change even for the better is not always good for business something that even a local band has become attuned to when they try to add the morning russian songs to die repertoire the audience called the wanted to hear it was a song comfortably familiar.

turkey again then launches a strike on syrian territory and retaliation for a new mortar shell processing the border but thousands in turkish cities protest the government's approval of military action. and in syria rebels threaten to execute forty eight in one unit hostages within two days if the assad government does not comply with the demands and release captured opposition fighters. thousands of islam is the call for change in the jordanian capital amman as part of a massive rally that threatens just. so the solid monarchy. and just

days before venezuela's the first presidential election in six years we look at whether a long time socialist leader who good chavez still enjoys popular support and who could vote against him. next coming up with sports of data with kate. and i welcome to the fridays for round that would make a contract and these are the headlines looking up directly into want to turn to struggling rostov to go second in the russian premier league that's the point behind leaders on gene. wilder brilliance in beijing maria sharapova lines of the meeting with know our lead in the trying to write in semifinals after an injury by retires injured. and begin japan red bulls not one of that leaves mclaren's nearest hamilton in practice ahead of sunday's much anticipated japanese crown pre. let's

kick off with football as the first much of this weekend's russian top flight program has finished two wanting grozny where home side to record gone second following their victory over struggling will start matson coveralls he puts the home side ahead after fifty two minutes to polish the panda heading home for them by going to you again. and almost immediately marty's theo squandered the chance to extend their lead as his powerful strike from the spot ricocheted off the bow however seven minutes from time an unmanned didn't make it to know. to make a late goal to be a late eight consolation the victory of the chechen side seven of the season and moved them from full to second just a point behind and the rest of stay thirty two wins from eleven so far. while in europe on thursday night russian league leaders angie and twice national champions robin both wrapped up to no victories to go talk with their respective

at city in a premier league game in almost two years and months cheney is aware playing on a saturday lunchtime after a champions league week is never easy every time that's on their brilliance that's a fantastic game. but from this game sunday last year there is a measure i think that this point in tripoli would be important in this group last point that we did against sunderland when we were three one five minutes to go and after a few we. got out of it was an important point in the league in that really to remember that game is important that we do two points also if we be a tough game. well after that national leaders chelsea has winless norrish small as the welcome also victorious reading and west brom take on rock bottom q.p.r. second place everson go to nearby waco and west ham host also for a late london darby was in spain on sunday boss ally the host well madrid intel

classico with only six league games gone the defending champions right out trial leaders and bitter rivals possible eight points made on messi has scored ten points sorry ten goals overall so far the vasa who want all their league games under new manager teacher villanova after a poor start stares a merinos right now have won the last four games including i for one run but i absolutely. christiane i ran out there with his second handshake in a week to take his goal tally to twelve so possibly feel the chevy and then this is getting complacent in the venue that meant that if the difference between us in terms of. anything can happen with this game we have played closer it goes when we had more points and fewer points and in the end to didn't matter last year we were to just favorites the close to home but we also know that now we're eight points above and it works in our favor and gives us confidence and if we win we will be eleven go instead of them. to formula one and mark webber has set the fastest time

next is kind of his milosz way on it he hit twenty four aces to overcome young coaches are addicted servia after a grueling three setter. and finally began jan and they may say it has become can take a coach of the russian pentathlon team it's hoped he'll boost the squad ahead of the rio olympics after the shock failure to find the podium in london. ports. russia had been the dominant nation in man spend their phone over the buzz the cage they arrived at the london games as a red hot favorites having two time olympic champions and a me see if and world number one in the rankings alexander list soon on their shit however they seem to have left their talent on the plain this squad failing to even reach the podium once in the english capital and then as we had the best men's team in the sport and fields after analyzing the results over perper foreman says we understood that our pentathlete were not as fit as they should have been added to

that our preparation system was out of date but one cannot criticize this board sheaves for not taking action every single national team coach was sicked while thirty three year old may see free trade from this board to be appointed to russia's caretaker head last week because all i never know what cheney took a little break after the games but i didn't announce. it also all the offer to become head pushed me to retire for good was a pleasant surprise but i really wanted to stay in the sport and something there. brushed off my c.v. spent more than a decade in this point and is widely regarded as the right person to give and not one is shot in the arm and lead the nation to gold at the next olympics and we can use that here and you also have achieved a lot in the sport and now that i've stepped aside i see some things that should be in this room and i want to transfer my experience to younger pentathlon because i know everyone in the national squad very well and i hope i can be useful to the

team can be addition within the russian team is still very high despite many saves returning as this side remains undoubted heavyweights in the sport well ahead of the next games in brazil russia can expect. here is some good news i believe reassurance albert the second of monaco is honorary president of the modern pentathlon international federation and he supports the idea of increasing the number of meadows the olympics so we hope the i.o.c. will approve it and in rio there will be more pep talk than disciplines. russia spin off one team used to be compared with his feeble side essentially a dream team at times impossible to beat however even the spanish german states defeat from time to time getting back on the winning track as soon as possible is the first priority for the country's been dr lee's while dancing to the somebody and sold ration in twenty sixteen is of course leon again constantine on the cheek
