turkey and syria keep the border shelling going there as media reports adjusts angara may have provided the mortar is now landing on its territory in the first place. for doesn't matter is make their latest call for an end to hot sand express and that the pending visit of germany's angela merkel. and a job as a unity full venezuela love the long standing socialist leader proves he still enjoys the people support winning a full of thirty six million in home. ten

pm here in moscow you live with us and. turkey. there.

the. patrol is. suggesting that they're being fired deliberately to provoke to keep into calling on nato to launch some kind of operation in syria and the irony of the situation though is that we're now receiving expert opinion that many of the shells that are being fired from syria are in fact being fired by weapons that turkey provided to the rebels to help them

fight the assad regime so you have those rather i want to situation where turkey is being fired on by weaponry that itself supplied to the rebels in addition to those we're also now receiving several reports that the syrian army of the kurdistan workers party is forming an army just fifteen kilometers from the turkish border and now the fighting which is concentrated in northern syria has seen kurds take advantage of the situation never really came to several cities their economy they wanted independence from damascus but they have also now becoming a problem for turkey turkey of course is no stranger to the kurdish problem just overnight turkish jets were firing at kurdish china in northern iraq so here too you have a situation where turkey in its assistance to the rebels to find assad is now having to fight we could see and seen an escalation in that problem as well.

and a change of course in the middle east and later we'll look at mitt romney's criticism of who was foreign policy and why the republican presidential candidate more on the syrian rebels if he wins. the humanitarian crisis is developing in libya the continuing siege of the town of bani walid a former gadhafi stronghold as love residents without vital supplies dr abdul hamid a member of the local council is inside the besieged city and gave us his account of what's happening. there is a closing in the middle of the standard and the clerk you know norman brown your editor pretty normal going around the arm of the group around the. main entrance of the. ocoee we're. very happy. although you have. to break the function the fools are left open to.

the caribbean maybe a little are. being slaughtered because of the big game the siege of bani walid are started because the national congress to once to arrest the suspected murderers of the man credited with capturing colonel gadhafi the town failed to hand them over but the siege is too strong a response exposing the lawlessness in the country says geo political analyst patrick hemmings and. far as we know libya's anything but civilized and formed in a normal organic fashion. the ruling party that you have been in libya right now is a is amateur government it's an artificial creation of the west in the fullest get off the regime change plan so this gives you an indication of how they're governing in this country and certainly that there is no stability in libya compared to before the nato bombing and destruction of their country i don't think

they're going to get much help from the u.n. saying that the united nations is the co architect of this post could off the libya half responsible for this sort of the fraud that was imposed by the u.n. resolution one nine hundred seventy three which was. starting with a no fly zone which turned into a bombing zone they've got serious problems in libya there's no legitimacy really with this post gadhafi government makes moammar gadhafi government look like a beacon of light in this shining city on the hill in comparison in syria it could be much worse because in syria we're looking at a protracted civil war now in the making or something even worse. crowds have once again gathered in front of the parliament in athens people angry at more pending cuts and a ban on protests in the city center during german chancellor's visit on tuesday that was the euro zone's new bailout fund goes live let's now talk to georgia travel as you and attorney and professor of constitutional law joining us live from

athens good to see you there sir now people's anger has already been inflamed by a ban on protests during a gala merkel's upcoming visit do you think of this ban is counterproductive. you know part of first something new the most recent the government has decided to ban to forbid the demonstrations tomorrow the biggest part of our friends for the first and then we'll show to the socialites combined with only forty two severely limit freedoms i think that this effort is through what's called the productive. the austerity measures these are really going on and i don't expect anything more for b. fifty two for a machine or two because it has recently expressed their sympathy to the greek people but of this is the insist yourself and your government limited assume star set of measures the number who just. not greece is creditors

are demanding thirteen and a half billion euros in cuts to unlock vital funds without which the country could default next month can greece afford these cuts. of course we can order for the scuds were you see it is normal to learn those who want to the money back but they must be mounted on top of the a pound of flesh and blood to them and something like that to grow old national resources that are just for being because of. the monetary value of them is at the bottom to limit their salaries and pensions of people whether they are already below the poverty line this interest or give a little more than two years in a situation like that now we're all asking how long can this vicious cycle of cuts and bailouts go on. very very late because of this dirty little troubling they're

going to respond that are acting exactly because of your so you can measure this event we cannot fulfill their promises that i'll go look at stating the words the numbers and then we must speak new measures if the new measures of political director even affirm that we're going to the only way to resolve the problem is exactly to cut these verses so they start reducing the message to any other activity for the euro zone finance ministers have now launched a new bailout fund to do you think the five hundred billion euros it will contain is enough to save struggling members is it enough say is the new bailout fund a five hundred billion that's been stead out is it enough to save struggling members like greece we seem to have lost connection with a message just to trouble as susan attorney and professor of constitutional law of

wealthy british soil it's time to. go. to. market find. find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines to name two kinds of reports. you're watching archie thanks for being with us in the u.k. cuts to benefits us screening the most vulnerable recent data suggests fifteen percent of children regularly go without a hot meal but london still eyeing ten billion pounds mall in welfare cuts. reports this flight intervention from charities things are only getting worse. millions of children every year hunger is

a death sentence this is save the children's usual campaign feeding starving youngsters in africa but times have changed and for the first time in its ninety three year history the charity has launched a major fundraising campaign here in britain and. it's a watershed moment as recession hits the u.k.'s poorest children the hardest the situation is pretty bleak for children and families out there in our children having to go without what we consider some basic essentials such for example when they're old ones for now it's achieving a warm coats him winter these are pretty shocking statistics in the u.k. in twenty twelve and we believe that we really need to take action in glasgow for the first time the cupboard is almost bare for mother of three sharon more it's a daily struggle to provide the basics for her kids.

she's not alone three and a half million children are living in poverty in the u.k. and a quarter of their parents say they've gone without meals so their children can eat . a child in poverty has to forgo the things other families take for granted eating healthfully having a friend round for tea days out natalie mother to two year old noah puts all she can afford into the gas meter but it's still not enough to heat their home it's cold but if they. keep warm in the house some blankets rather than turn the fire around oh. so you just can't afford to charities calculate that the poorest ten percent of society i hate thirteen times harder by government cuts to services than the richest ten percent and growing up in poverty puts a child under enormous emotional strain the education suffers even a sit good school and that storing up trouble for the future you have been party to

most children but is also a massive impact to society and to our economy so well you know we if we. we all of us will have to pay the price in terms of actual spending on education spending on the n.h.s. . amerikana mean will be weaker because you know we'll be losing talent what's the point of slashing welfare budget if we're going to be paying the price for our increased spending we're going to. save the children hopes to help the worst hit families but this could be a long campaign the institute for fiscal studies says in the next ten years based on current government tax and benefit policies eight hundred thousand more children will be dragged into poverty eradicating all the gains that have been made in the last ten years laura smith r.t.

london. it was a tough political battle but charges again proved his socialism gender in venezuela enjoys strong popular support as he was reelected president for fourth time the polls massive turnout of over eighty percent showed just how crucial the vote was for the nation here's our correspondent in caracas lucy conference without all the details. we're standing here on the streets of caracas just hours after president. as the winner in this election you will be leading the country for another six years after millions of venezuelans have their ballots now a shot a victory likely ensures that the current programs the president has put into place will continue the so-called twenty first century socialism experiments help improve life for many of the poor many of whom are gathered here while the celebrations have been largely for the most part things actually a little bit time for us you can see behind me people have probably drank a little bit. here on motorcycles and we know that the opposition candidate. has

agreed to. he's not going to contest this election through a presenter of ourselves as so it really remains to be seen whether there will be any sort of street passes or any sort of opposition in the retake that for the science office is economic policies promises. and promise will improve ties with the west of course he did a lot of support and that is because a lot of the people here feel that a lot of problems in the venezuela have still not been addressed there's a very high crime rate there are serious problems with corruption in the country and they're just not sure whether the president is our solace for another six years as a really going to lead to improving those issues. their bogan presidential candidate mitt romney has called full a change of coal so for us policy in the middle east if you install you promised to arm syrian rebels and put iran on notice. you can has the details and joins us live

from washington good to see the what do you draw me about his foreign policy. well maybe our mitt romney accused president obama of quote sitting on the sidelines end of quote and not being aggressive enough on syria as romney suggests actively arming the rebels with weapons that can bring down aircraft and blow up tanks he said quote the greater tragedy of it all is that we're missing a historic opportunity to win new friends who share our values in the middle east end of quote i saw this clip the other day and i wonder if this particular syrian rebel shares mitt romney's values play that clip. to hold this video i just want to send a sure message to america and all the infidel countries of the west we started our jihad. and we won't finish and on your land started here and in our minds will go on as you heard one finished into the new land and this.

will be raised on the white house. that was apparently a jihadi flag there that he was showing while mitt romney's remarks suggested that maybe they romney doesn't really care about whose hands the weapons would end up in because the objective that he stated was to defeat assad seeing it as a stepping stone towards iran cares what exactly what he said. we should be working no less vigorously through our international partners to support the many syrians who would deliver that defeat to iran rather than sitting on the sidelines it's essential that we develop influence with those forces in syria that will one day lead a country that sits at the heart of the middle east. well mitt romney basically suggested taking advantage of the crisis in syria to fulfill the goal of defeating. iran a blatant but straightforward remark basically expressing the same opportunistic

approach to foreign policy that the us has had for many years. now on the has there been any reaction from the obama administration. while obama campaign calls romney reckless and amateurish when it comes to foreign policy so far the administration has stopped short of directly or i mean the rebels although washington is coordinating the efforts of their allies in the region saudi arabia card turkey which are providing which are providing weapons to the rebels one way or another but those allies are saying that they only provide smaller weapons that they would love to send heavy artillery but they don't have the green light from washington for that because we're portably they've ministration fears that they might end up in the hands of terrorists without regard yes the current administration is more subtle as to how they support the rebels but they do support them experts say one of the reasons why the rebels are not settling down for a negotiated solution through dialogue is the signal that they get the sense that

support is on the way that there will be that there will be an intervention and everybody now understands without a negotiated solution bloodshed will continue so many experts have talked about it including kofi annan who put forward a plan for such a peaceful resolution. you can report to you from washington. right over at r g dot com see how a kill can become deadlier than disease nearly a hundred people are suffering in a deadly meningitis outbreak in the u.s. it's a lot of pain killing steroid injections in fact infected patients find out more on our website. pos online the art attack president of the tate modern gallery in london scrolls his signature on a painting by renowned expressionist mark rothko find out why he's claiming he actually made the most of these valuable. now some other international news

you. almost twenty minutes past the hour you're watching business on our t.v. our top story russia is launching the second pipeline in the north stream project to ship more gas to europe the second link laid on the bottom of the baltic sea

will double nordstrom's annual capacity to fifty five billion cubic meters. to measure the angle has all the details. indeed has started flowing through the second line of the north stream gas pipeline indeed its capacity has been doubled to fifty five billion cubic meters which would be enough to basically provide twenty six million european households with heat and energy and it's also amounts to around fifty percent of what is right now being transmitted through ukraine see the one of the main goals of this project was to bypass transit countries like belarus and ukraine which at times were not so reliable partners for russia and supply gas directly to europe while the heads of four states russia germany the netherlands and france hailed the launch of the second line he said. it is indeed an exemplary chuckle achievement one of the most magnificent infrastructure projects in europe today the installation of this underwater pipeline required

constant attention especially in regards to the environmental impact of the construction stream significantly strengthen european energy security by diversifying supply. and dave this is a very expensive project a cost seven and a half billion euros to launch and several years five to be exact in order for it to reach full capacity and earlier i spoke to the head of gas problems export branch and it's on the better and he said that it takes a lot of time in order to fill up a pipeline so therefore it hasn't yet been operating at full capacity and claim. is that russia needs to lower prices for europe as he said ridiculous have a sister were kind of thought it was a predictability really believed to be in the long dormant and. would like the lords are actually guess this trade it in the europe you know a call.
