people on board this plane and among them were small children moreover russian embassy sound deployments and a doctor to the airport however they were denied access without giving any explanations meanwhile us. turkey and now it does hope that this incident will not impact its relations with russia and this comes at a q. sis piracy over the detention of its plaintiff well right now the plane is already at the damascus airport but before that we managed to directly speak to the people on board of this plane why while they were still the airports and they sounded very scared and frightened and here are some of their comments on what they had to go through. the plane has been surrounded by people in masks he sees all the cargo. from people who have been known to crew into passengers they try to force them to

a wake up call signaling that nato members already for all been military confrontation that's the view of u.s. based anti-war activist and journalist don de bar. 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 isn't 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 a couple weeks before an election usually they try to keep this stuff toned down before an election and see a win for after the election so i hope something worse isn't coming after november sixth it's not the first time moscow has come under scrutiny for its connections
7:05 am
with damascus eric draitser and political analyst for stop and perilous time dot com thinks this latest incident is now co-incidence. 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 putin in loughborough of have egg on their face as all comes as turkey and syria at teeter on the brink of war with the u.s.

apparently fanning the flames of conflict and american special forces contingent has descended on jordan's border with syria for what the pentagon defines as a boost to the country's fighting capabilities and case violence spills over artie's gannett's account has more on the move and the intended message. according to defense secretary leon panetta they send their troops to syria jordan bordering 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 a joint u.s. jordanian military center north of online that americans have used for years of the news about u.s. military personnel so close to syria actual actual boots on the ground suggests an escalation in the u.s.
7:07 am
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 across the region we see that syria is pretty much surrounded militarily also tension is growing on the border between syria and turkey after several days of shelling this wednesday turkish military chief vouched to respond with more force that is the day after nato said it student ready to defend turkey important to note one of the reasons why the rebels refused to settle down for a negotiated solution through dialogue is that signal that they get that sense that support is on the way that there will be an intervention everybody understands without a negotiated solution the bloodshed will continue so the signal that the rebels are getting including the news about u.s. troops standing by right across the border could be making it much harder to come to that negotiated solution independent journalists non bowie things border

protection is just a pretext 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 to believe that it is what the american personnel in jordan are there to do what 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 assessing regime change options in syria where they specifically cite the creation of a buffer zone or humanitarian corridor or as a means to base certain rebel groups in the region to project force towards the syrian government in an attempt to topple it so that it appears to be what it's playing out at the moment meanwhile an increased american military presence doesn't

know just resigned to it asking or. happy in twelve months to try and both jumpstart the spanish economy and cut back on expenses so far as much of everybody is focusing on what the s. and p. and other rating agencies are saying i really think they're just reflecting but actual reality that this fantasy economy is not going anywhere good i mean the spanish 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 legislate through you know throughout and i think you will see more riots and i think you will see more civil unrest just as you're seeing in greece i mean actually angle of merkel visited greece this week and was met by protesters i think you will see very similar reactions across the spanish socio economic all of the free. and britain isn't thrilled about spending cuts either despite prime minister

musical company. sound sequences you know they react to the sound signals the flutes the herders had in the old days they needed them it wasn't just fun but these metals didn't come naturally requiring decades of composting to bring the soil up to farming standard this island is mostly rock. the soil here is very thin on the monks can't just get more of it because they're surrounded by the lake so they have to work very hard in order to provide whatever food they need . they grow their own crops run their own fish and repair their own churches. but the central purpose of alarm has always been religious the main ministry surrounded by smaller priories spread through the many archipelago the monks here know their existence is a little different from that of other ministries here we are out of the way and we

be in the crosshairs jamaal all day policy director for the national iranian american council thanks the real target is 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 sanctions aren't designed to address the nuclear issue the sanctions 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. iran's nuclear ambitions have become a point of contention between the u.s.

and israel but washington trying to rein in the jewish state's military rhetoric party's policies later found out how wide the division has become over the years israeli leaders have been very careful in expressing a 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 the rocket bomber that has basically been pushing obama in the united states around. pushing that 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 what netanyahu which obama obviously does not like and netanyahu has done that as well to do that because you knows that there is such that the republicans are totally behind him netanyahu has had very public spats with the obama administration the most recent of which was sparked by his demand that the
7:16 am
u.s. sit out red lines for iran which if crossed would bring military action so far washington's refused prompting a tongue lashing from netanyahu it's. good. to know. what is already working. at a recent united nations session netanyahu went further he produced the now famous bomb diagram while drawing a red line. constraints not apologies for his outburst appears in an anti obama diversions mentors that will be broadcast on u.s. networks made on my own organization called secure america now what it's come down to now in america is if american politician criticizes israel that translates into support for quote unquote terrorism traditionally is raided leaders have relied on board by proxy. sounds profane ited states but netanyahu has had
7:17 am
a rocky relationship with the bonnet from the start and is ready to take sides with . a republican in the board the whole litany or who 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 condition and i think their revenge the american river 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. don't hesitate to log on to r.t. dot com for any of the stories you watch on their as well as for some exclusive stories here's a taste of what's lined up for you right now. powerful bathroom friends didn't help one city council in italy south and when it was dissolved by the government because of its mafia connection. was the infamous pussy riot case tanks a new turn as one member is released by a moscow appeal court to find out all the details online. britain's prime minister david cameron has delivered closing remarks at the conservative parties and he will call for us in an effort to drum up support a maid eroding public confidence a party is trailing behind the labor opposition in opinion polls as it takes fire for sweeping spending cuts david cameron has had to avoid even using the word

austerity to help popularize after coming to power nodule for all the leader of the u.k. independence party says that tory policies are not bringing any meaningful change to the country's economy. you know when david cameron talks about a stare as he 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 increase by fifteen 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 our country but 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

7:21 am
problem here is not getting to the bottom of the thing and the bottom of the thing is the same congressman ok they take back the they forgot their constitutional duty in insisting that before we went to war in libya that there'd be a congressional vote they ducked that and the result is that people like hillary clinton and others think they can you know fix things place in the bombers over a country. and an incident in yemen now highlights the dangers of working in a u.s. embassy in an arab country mask to gunmen how the sausage made it a yemeni head of security in the country's top of also know the attackers on a motorcycle opened fire at. car while he was on its way to work at the embassy no one has claimed responsibility for the attack that would allegedly has the hallmarks of an al qaida operation yemen has seen a number of killings and assassination attempts since the army drove islamised fighters from some southern cities. the international monetary fund's chief

7:23 am
situation doesn't seem to be getting any better or will get to the european markets a little bit later first let's talk about russia and its capital outflow this is a big issue for the russian government and they're trying to minimize it every year so far without that fifty eight a billion dollars has left the country and now we know that there are economic regulators here having their friends opinion about the forecasts russia has had as their own that inflow since two thousand. and the losses so far have amounts it's almost three hundred sixty billion dollars that number equals the g.d.p. of the united arab emirates now the finance ministry and the central bank say they expect this year's outflow to be around sixty to sixty five billion dollars but that that meets the minister of economic development believes it will be at last year's level which is eighty four billion dollars. the numbers suggest that flu is unfortunately continuing and accelerating much of this is due to a number of. ways related. to business climate because we are seeing an inflow of
7:24 am
foreign investment maybe it's coming at the pace we would like to visit coming capital leaving the country as everyone is consolidating revenues in the current environment and that should be. think. this year. maybe just a little bit less. that international markets are in with europe many analysts about today we will see the markets going down that was because of the credit rating downgrade. things have turned around. and that over a half a percent in the corporate earnings reports of a common days will be expecting those and investors sensor react to that but now let's talk about the global wealth trends because credit suisse has really sparked an interest in reports on that so global wealth fell all over five percent in the past year and of course the eurozone crisis was one of the main reasons for the
