sound just a very scary and a very frightened they were intimidated and even received threats here are some comments that we managed to receive when they were on board at the end on what they had to go through. the plane has been surrounded by people in masks they seize all the cargo on board four people have been beaten up two crew and two passengers they try to force them to sign documents we don't know what these papers are about we're scared for the fate of the captain he has been taken away and threatens with arrest if he doesn't sign an emergency landing paper. i'm on board with three children we all hungry i sort of the choice was driven onto the plane and people began to carry our boxes out of the plane turks open this boxes to pictures of what's inside them we will show what was inside there was no weaponry or toy oh my god it was obvious even from our child there were full of some people work it is the wrapper and

turkey the reason for such a move was the information. we received about the plane was carrying some military cargo leader there were some speculations that the cargo that was found contained to a radio equipment instead of any weapons meanwhile as this is the air passenger plane was carrying thirty seven people on board and among children and also according to the reports of seventeen were russians as soon as this plane across the turkish border sixteen fighter jets forced the plane to land and after this search that lasted for more than nine hours the cargo was confiscated by the turkish security forces meanwhile of the director for the serious to. this whole search underwent a breach of international regulations and also violates the convo on the international scene. as i said before the plane. finally reached its destination and landed at

damascus airport. they didn't as a wakeup call signaling that nato members are ready for open military confrontation that's the view of u.s. based and he will absolutely some journalists don't. under international law this is an act of war and that turkey would be emboldened to commit this act makes me very nervous about what's going to happen going forward this is crazy i have no idea what the thinking is behind this other than to try to intimidate everyone involved on the other side of this nato would venture in syria that either back off or we're going to take it to the max i think that's the signal that washington is trying to send because turkey is doing this without an ok from washington and it's frightening that that's actually how aggressively they're playing at this point especially you know couple weeks before an election usually they try to keep this stuff toned down before an election and she would for after the election so i hope something works isn't coming after november sixth and this is not the first time

congo from russia has raised suspicion in august a ship heading to the country's naval base in times to syria was stopped and every trade center political analyst full stop and parrot isn't docomo things it's not a coincidence. the demonization of russia with regard to the weapons sales is something that's been going on now for months well remember back to secretary of state clinton and her laughable accusations against the russian government that they were gives to getting a civil war by simply delivering what had already been contracted to the syrian government but as i mentioned already to demonize russia is to lend credence to the side that is in favor of intervention remember that the vetoes that russia and china put forward in the security council were not simply vetoes against what the united states wants it was an attempt to prevent war and there's no way to get around that unless you can drum up some kind of an international incident that

would look like put in an elaborate have egg on their face. was tacky pressing syria hard from the north the united states has about picked up the slack from the south and u.s. special forces contingent has been deployed to jordan's border with syria ways job according to the pentagon will be to booze the country's capabilities in case of violence spills oh he's going at each account has more on the move on the intended message. according to defense secretary leon panetta they sent the troops to jordan syrian border in case violence escalates in syria and spills over the border leon panetta did not go into details as to how many troops and so on but another u.s. defense official speaking on condition of anonymity said the forces are made up of one hundred military personnel and other personnel who stayed on in jordan after attending an annual exercise in may and several dozen more have flown in since they're operating from the joint u.s. jordanian military center north of that americans have used for years and then use

about u.s. military personnel so close to syria that is boots on the ground of course suggests an escalation in the u.s. military involvement in the conflict even as washington pushes back on any suggestion of a direct intervention in syria but jordan is not the only place where the u.s. has military presence if we look at syria and the u.s. military presence in the region we see that syria is pretty much surrounded militarily one of the reasons why the rebels refuse to settle for a negotiated solution through dialogue is the signal that they get that sense that support is on the way that there will be an end mentioned but everybody understands without a negotiating so it was negotiated solution the bloodshed will continue so the signals that the rebels are getting including the news about u.s. troops standing by across the border could be making it much harder to come to that negotiated solution and independent journalists mild blowitz things border

protection is just a pretext to press tahn to press harder for a change of regime in syria. throughout the duration of the conflict in syria we've heard a lot of talk about the creation of humanitarian corridors or buffer zones along the turkish border and now we're hearing reports of the same being established on the jordanian border so a sense of believe that is what the american personnel in jordan are there to do one needs to acknowledge the fact that this is not the policy of the turkish government nor is it the policy of the jordanian government the u.s. think tank the brookings institute in march two thousand and twelve published a report titled assessing regime change options in syria for they specifically cite the creation of a buffer zone or a humanitarian corridor as a means to base certain rebel groups in the region to project force of the syrian government in an attempt to topple it so that appears to be what is playing out at

the moment. meanwhile an increased american military presence doesn't seem to be helping the situation posed gadhafi in libya u.s. officers sounded the alarm over their decaying security in the country as that place that time that killed ambassador in benghazi was a premeditated act of terror that's when. the spanish economy is now a wreck according to credit rating agencies standard and poor's as it rattled markets one small by slashing madrid's debt score to near junk status the raising agencies said that austerity joblessness and nationwide unrest have led the government's herm's tide has added that madrid's ability to deal with the debt crisis and stop the ongoing recession is now severely limited spain recently announced a slew of new constant tax hikes which is hope so will it reverse its fortunes that's more good bogan grief from crisis management a.c.m. partners doesn't hold out much hope. that spanish government just reported or you

know just resigned to the austerity package in twelve months to try and both jumpstart the spanish economy and cut back on express so far as market everybody is focusing on what the at the p. and other rating agencies are saying i really think they are just reflecting that actual reality that the mannish economy is not going anywhere good i mean the family population has demonstrated that it is comfortable protesting and writing these measures i mean at this point i think without a significant change in public oh union which obviously you can't just litigate or allegedly you know route i mean i think you will see more riots and i think you will see more civilized right just as you're seen in greece i mean actually angle of merkel visited greece this week and was met by protesters i think you will see very similar reaction across the spanish socio economic all of this. and britain is and throw it about spending cuts that despite current.

market. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mixed culture the no holds barred look at the global financial headlines. is a report on our. welcome back president brock obama has signed an executive order to further tighten the financial screws on iran and implement a new set of sanctions. program that's claims to be in the course has. the national iranian american council things the real target as ordinary citizens. this is ministration hesitate to enact sanctions every three weeks you have new sanctions coming online you do have a small number of lawmakers a growing number of lawmakers and pundits on the outside who are starting to come

clean and say actually this is great when we see that ordinary people are suffering in iran when we see the currency devaluation that's hurting the middle class and the reason they say this is great is because the same things are designed to address the nuclear issue ascensions are designed to topple the iranian government and they think that. toppling the iranian government starts with engineering suffering among the people and that somehow the u.s. is going to convince people to basically you know take up arms or rise up against the government because of the sanctions and iran's nuclear ambitions have become a point of contention between the u.s. and israel with washington trying to rein in the jury a statesman the rhetoric. found out how why is that a vision. over the years israeli leaders have been very careful in expressing their stance towards american politics until now with us elections less than a month away israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has made no bones about who

he favors and it is not barack obama that was basically. pushing obama in the united states around. pushing that not not forcing america to do anything that america doesn't want to do but forcing america to accept to shut up in the face of netanyahu is what netanyahu would job obviously does not like and that's a guy who has done that as melts do that because he knows that there is such that the republicans are totally behind him as netanyahu has had very public spats with the obama administration the most recent of which was sparked by his demand that the u.s. sit out a red lines for iran which if crossed would bring military action so far washington's refused prompting a tongue lashing from netanyahu. who. was. on the right of employees already lining up.

at a recent united nations session netanyahu went further he produced the now famous bomb diagram while during a raid line. never again strength not apologize for his outburst appears in an anti obama advertisement that will be broadcast on u.s. networks paid for by an organization called secure america now what it's come down to now in america is if an american politician criticizes israel that translates into support for terrorism traditionally israeli leaders have relied on broad bipartisan support in the united states but netanyahu has had a rocky relationship with obama from the start and is ready to take sides with the prime minister he is a republican and he's aboard the. and sol netanyahu also seems convinced republican contender mitt romney will take a harder line on iran but netanyahu is perceived strategy looks risky to israelis who feel they were alliance with the u.s.

could be in trouble if the incumbent wins especially when it comes to recognizing a palestinian state i think it will come back through the u.n. if the vote on the recall commission i think the room the american river will be there will not work against it as they worked last year. the result will be humiliating. so they show that israelis are more worried about losing this strategic alliance with the united states then they are of war with iran however few observers believe there is a real threat of u.s. israeli relations becoming seriously damaged but it is highly likely that the abominate on yahoo relationship will become even more strained should both leaders be reelected. and don't his get is hesitate to log on to r.t. dot com for any of the stories you watched on there as well as for some online executive exclusive i should say stories and here's a taste of all slide out for you right now that. true friends didn't help one city

council and eight in the south when it was dissolved by the government because of its mouth their connections. in this perceived riot case takes a new turn as one member is released by moscow appeals court find out all the details on bringing. britain's prime minister david cameron has delivered closing remarks had the conservative policies are no conference an effort to try much support and made eroding public confidence the party is trailing behind the label position and opinion polls as it takes five full swing and spending cuts david cameron has had to avoid even using the word astonishing lies after coming to power and nigel faraj leader of the u.k. independence party says the tory party says i'm not bringing any mini change to the country's economy. you know when do we cameron talks about austerity what he fails to tell you is that we continue every year to run a massive budget deficit and by the end of his five years as prime minister the

national debt in the u.k. will have increased by forty percent so i think we'll have an entirely false debate david cameron is calling the british public into thinking that he's actually really cutting back at the levels of debt in our country and it's not true i think that the david cameron and george osborne combination. put together a coalition telling us they were going to deal with debt in this country they have absolutely failed to do so they haven't dealt with the deficit they haven't got growth coming back into the british economy i don't think the thing is a dramatic failure unless things turn around that i think the conservative party is in for a really terrible result in twenty fifteen at the next general election. september's attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi libya which killed ambassador was an organized terror attacks not part of a mass protest that was the bottom line of wednesday's congress hearing on the incident offices responsible for the safety of u.s. grounds and leave it testify that security had severely decayed since the ousting

of moammar gadhafi and retired cia officer ray mcgovern says the congressmen are trying to score points instead of getting to the root of the problem i feel a sense of political carnival this is represented trying to make political points now they're trying to get hillary clinton for a lack of understanding what security is needed that's not where they should try to . get every clue because the words she and others in libya the problem here is not getting to the bottom of the thing the bottom of the thing is the issue congressman ok they. forgot their constitutional duty in insisting that before we went to war in libya that there'd be a congressional vote they ducked and the result is the people like hillary clinton couldn't you know fix things boys and bombers over country. and now into the

world of business would go good morning marinus hours the day shaping up good morning new level it's a sea of red i don't know if you can see it beyond me but on the screens there it's all and negative perspective and all the markets most of them right now are extending losses that we saw in the previous session right now the russian markets just kicked off their trade in session and they're extending the losses from the previous session with the yards yes and the my stocks are setting over a half a percent well some of the budget surplus reached one point four percent of g.d.p. in the first nine months of the year all right let's move on as i look at currencies of the biggest for that as well when it comes to the euro it is strengthening versus the u.s. dollar and the russian currency is mixed with the currency basket this is there now let's stay with the call. and talk about capital outflow because we have some mix forecasts we have of russia settle back as well as the finance ministry which believes that this year's outflow will be around six at sixty five billion dollars at the same time the deputy minister of economic development says it will be at the level of the previous year and that is four billion dollars and this is what he had

to say about his way of thinking. the third quarter numbers suggest that flu is unfortunately continuing and accelerating this is due to a number of factors and the way it's related with the favorable business climate because we are seeing an influx of foreign investment maybe it's not coming at the pace we would like but it is coming capital is leaving the country as everyone is consolidating revenues in the current environment and that should be so i think. this year the level of maybe just a little bit less appears and asian markets are also the last of course following spain's credit rating downgrade and also the international monetary fund christine lagarde so that we should be given an actual years to meet requirements and that's how it all looks this our work will have european figures for the next hour right mareena thanks for that next john as opposed to form a consultant and u.s.

very pleased to introduce my guest today john sponsored oh he's a professor of religion and international affairs and islamic studies at georgetown university he has served as a consultant to the u.s. state department and other agencies doctors posit over the number of books on islam dr thank you very much for making yourself available glad to be here i was looking at poll numbers saying different muslim countries and their opinion of the u.s. now is either the same as under george w. bush or much worse as is the case in pakistan in egypt for example four years ago

seventy five percent of egyptians had an unfavorable view of the u.s. now it's seventy nine percent in pakistan used to be around seventy percent now it's around ninety percent these figures have nothing to do with the infamous anti islamic film where do they come from in your opinion well i think if you actually take a look at you know data from the muslim world i'm associated with the gallup organization and gallup did a world poll of and that included thirty five muslim countries from all over north africa and southeast asia and what we discovered was that majorities of muslims. while they admire. america's economic and technological development its freedoms the rule of law among other things resent with they see as an intrusive foreign policy as a foreign policy when it comes to the promotion of democracy and human rights based on double standards now what happened was that when president obama gave his speech

in cairo then his numbers really spiked up in countries like egypt and others what was happening throughout the obama administration is that you had rising expectations those expectations not fulfilled and then the numbers start really going down one of the risks that you have when you are it seems to be appraised. an interesting one is that if you raise the bar you'll be judged by that and obama had the genius and the insight to present a vision that was significantly different and claimed to be significantly different from that of george w. bush on a variety of issues whether it was palestine and israel whether it was the use of military force etc but the reality of it is that in many ways of a fair number of the obama policies are are similar to the bush administration's i was listening to a conversation on fox lately yeah and it was about whether the u.s. .
