soumitra brighton if you move from one stupid. stunts on t.v. don't come. russia says turkey endangered russian lawyers or jets intercepted a syrian passenger plane flying from moscow to suspicion that it was during the weapons to damascus complete with their guns of the three hundred go to those who would assume the grown those on board the plane tell r t they were threatened and humiliated by turkish authorities during a stop in and caught up with. a senior yemeni security official working for the us embassy is assassinated in time for the latest incident signaling al qaida is on the rise in the region. and

a bitter blow to struggling spain as its debts downgraded to junk standard and poor's. thank you for joining our team karen terrill she has five o'clock here in the russian capital while passengers on board the syrian plane forced to land and have told r t they were humiliated and threatened by a turkish security forces f. sixteen fighter jets intercept at the flight from moscow bound for damascus which was carrying thirty seven people many of them russian artie's medina questionable has the details. russia's foreign ministry demanded x.-plane nations why he turned he failed to inform that there were russian citizens on board of this plane seventeen passengers were reported to be russians while all over all their worth

thirty seven people on board this plane up and among them there were small children moreover at russian embassy in ankara son deployments and a doctor to the airport however they were all denied access without giving any explanation so zero accuses turkey off a policy over at the detention alf it's plain that he also spoke to the flight engineer who told us that be crew felt degraded by turkish security forces during their stop but they encourage airport. authorities told us they wanted to take all the boxes out when the we said that that was not a problem we just needed to see a warrant do they said no we will unload the boxes mine says the we needed to see a warrant and they left in the game back in an hour with ten armed soldiers they pointed their guns at the i'm going to put this in the ground for the then the job was back to the plane into the. turkey claims that the reason behind this incident

is the fact tradition taliban is believed to be plane was a carrying some sort of a military cargo were for a leader according to the reports of the cargo that was found on the plane couldn't radio equipment which was not produced in russia and not weapons but still the search i lost it for more than eight hours and at the end of the cargo was confiscated by the turkish security forces and only off through that the plane could continue its journey it's not the first time moscow has come under scrutiny for its connections with damascus geo political analyst eric draitser believes that amid the ongoing international rift over syria this latest incident is no coincidence. the demonization of russia with regard to the weapons sales is something that's been going on now for months will remember back to secretary of state clinton and her laughable accusations against the russian government that

they were instigating 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 the interception of the syrian plane by herself already is a signal that nato countries are ready for open military confrontation with damascus that's the view of u.s. based on how war activists and journalists don de bar bunder 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 of 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 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 works isn't coming after november sixth. as the border tensions between turkey and syria reaches a warring peak we're asking for your thoughts on whether on cottle we'll send troops to its neighbors territory you can cast your vote at r.t. dot com. things are far from calm elsewhere in the middle east in yemen a security official at the u.s. embassy who also coordinated terror work with yemeni authorities has been shocked

at washington's increasingly and knowledge ing the rise of terror and the lack of security in the region our teaser image has more. security official who was on his way to work to the u.s. embassy was shot dead in a drive by incident now the yemeni officials are saying that this particular incident has the fingerprints of al qaida all over it now many may seem to ask why it is that al qaeda still seem to be so powerful even after the death of its leader osama bin laden back in two thousand and eleven a lot of very small terrorist organizations which existed in the middle east but also of course in pakistan and afghanistan in the northern africa region the so-called islamic magreb all of these are going to now trying to latch on to and they want to be filled with this large very well known terrorist organization and they are continuing their operations on the ground in these countries in a very vast area just recently u.s.

military official who was working as the head of the military security team in libya has said that. unfortunately is alive and well and very much kicking in the country and he did say that unfortunately after the. qaddafi things have just gotten worse now a lot of analysts are saying that this seems to be the habit that united states has gotten into they are aligning themselves with the rebel fighters in various countries which are trying to depose these so-called dictatorships this was the case in libya of course this was. unfortunately a lot of times the u.s. seems to disregard any voices of concern that a lot of these rebel fighters who are fighting against the regime actually are fighting alongside with al qaida members unfortunately once the u.s. does not. disregard these warnings they find themselves in hot water like they did in libya where u.s. ambassador was killed in what is now confirmed as an attack specifically on a u.s.

officials that attack was thoroughly discussed thirty u.s. congressional hearing security at the mission probably not a quiet but retired cia officer ray mcgovern says that while congressmen look for weak spots in guarding american missions in the middle east they're failing to get to the root of the problem. this is a political carnival this is represented trying to make political points now they're trying to get hillary clinton for a lack of understanding good security. that's not where they should try to. get the word she in libya the problem here is not getting to the bottom of the thing the bottom of the thing is the same congressman ok they. forgot their constitutional duty insisting that before we went to war in libya that there'd be a congressional vote. and the result is that people like hillary clinton and others

think they couldn't fix things both in the country. almost a gram verdict on spain's credit rating coming from the influential agency standard and poor's in the latest blow to the cash strapped economy s. and p. has downgraded madrid's debt score by two notches the rating agency said that austerity joblessness and nationwide unrest have left the government's hands tied it added that madrid's ability to deal with the debt crisis and stop the ongoing recession that's how severe it spain recently announced a slew of new cuts and tax hikes in a bid to cut the deficit and go on show more are the spanish journalist and writer says during years of economic woes the e.u. has been failing to offer an effective remedy to madrid. the problem is political is not it's not the economy of course the economy doesn't look very good but the problem in europe is the european union doesn't work as

a natural political union. the catch is that the european union can also instead also well doing some soul searching trying to think how to make these can miss some words and i by mechanism i mean the european union we've behaviors. different countries which yes of course we are part of the same currency but that is so all we look for ourselves and i think it's not where can they are not offering real solutions just well remedies to to kick the can down the road as they say. all sarah day is now a dirty word of britain's leader but even though the terminology is changing being no pain no gain formula stays in full sway over not everyone is convinced it's working as we hear later. funds continue to leave russia with some estimates saying capital outflow could amount to more than eighty billion dollars

this year again more on this and other stories after a short break. in the legacy no one should be proud of heaps of scrap metal littering pristine arctic landscape building stilton over their foundation pipes spewing black smoke over the snow covered peaks the traces of the soviet industrial activity on the burgen archipelago don't make a pretty picture the guiding principle here is the worst the better that can do nine hundred eighty bearings work was a burgeoning mining community the soviet union was determined to maintain at all costs particularly located halfway between north america and western europe the bergen archipelago is part of norway but a special status that allows other countries to set up industrial bases here in the middle of the cold war it served as the us is ours westernmost outpost now it's one

of the soviet union slask preserved relics. picture of what would have happened to the soviet union if it was cut off from any financial support for two decades it's a curious site for western tourists and i think it could be even more appealing for russian travellers the local administration is increasingly under pressure to bring the infrastructure up to more than standards if these modernization efforts are not very popular with tourist operators if you come into a very authentic place like. it should stay the way it is that would be my. wish i mean that's the part of the let you know authentic traditionally. i should not i would not like to have it in the shiny condition to be on those they tend to change even for the better is not always good for business something that even the local band has become attuned to when they try to add more to the russian songs to die repertoire the audience called the wanted to hear it was

a song comfortably familiar. welcome back to our team with me karen. what britain's prime minister insists he'll hold firm on further all sorry and there's bad news for everyone expecting him to loosen up in the future the i.m.f.'s warning that the u.k. will miss its deficit targets this year. leader of the u.k. independence party says david cameron's policies are not bringing any meaningful change to the recession ravaged economy. you know when david cameron talks about his 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 but national debt in the u.k. will have increased by fifty percent so i think we're having 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 fifty that the next general election now let's turn to other news making headlines around the world for greenpeace activists have been arrested by police in sweden after spending twenty eight hours at a nuclear facility in the country southwest they were part of a bigger group of twenty members who forced their way into the rain goals reactor

site provided by greenpeace showed people riding bikes within the grounds of the plant the movement says the action was aimed at highlighting concerns of poor safety at swedish nuclear sites. a pakistani girl who was shot by a taliban gunmen remains critical with doctors planning to move her to a different hospital the fourteen year old was assaulted on tuesday and had an emergency operation in peshawar she's won it nationwide admiration for exposing taliban and hostilities and advocating to crowds gathered in the capital in anger at the shooting and weaver gallery of their protest at r.t. dot com. financial pressure on iran over its alleged nuclear activities is growing as the us president signed an executive order to impose yet more sanctions but the country's oil industry already under a virtual state of embargo its iranian gas exports that fresh american penalties

are now targeting. policy director for the national iranian american council thinks it's not just uranium enrichment but the iranian government as a whole that's the real target here when has this administration has appeared to annex ations 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 but 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. iran's nuclear ambitions and ways to deal

with them have become a point of contention between the u.s. and israel that washington trying to rein in the jewish state's military rhetoric reports on how wide the division has become. over the years is radio i guess have been very careful in expressing their stance towards american politics until now with us election is less than a month away israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has made no bones about who he favors and it is not the rock obama has basically been 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 netanyahu has done that has melted do that because he 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 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. who. was. on the. wrong place already working. at a recent united nations session netanyahu went further he produced the now famous bomb diagram while drawing a red line. american strength not apologies 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 american politician criticizes israel that translates into support for terrorism traditionally israeli leaders have relied on board bipartisan

support in the united states but netanyahu has had a rocky relationship with the bomber from the start and is ready to take sides with the prime minister he is a republican and he's aboard the. and so netanyahu also seems convinced republican contender mitt romney will take a hard 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 the river which the river will be there will not work against it as they worked last year. the result will be humiliating to a survey showed that israelis are more worried about losing the strategic alliance with the united states then they are of war with iran however few observers believe

there is a real threat of us 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. italy's leaders have been showing the mafia this past powerful bathroom friends didn't help one city council in the south it's been dissolved by the government because of its ground actions as we report on why. plus developments in the inner forest pussy riot case after one band members freed the other two will stay in jail. the meter is next with a business center rock is writing to swap around big all players that's right there's a media reports are saying that basically iraq is ready to chuck out exxon mobil from the super giant west current one project and instead could offer this deal to

a russian company well so far russia's lukoil which already operates in iraq at the west current to project has said that it's not interested in increasing its exposure to two rocky business but other companies which are potentially. could be could be candidates to explore project this. gas from left and right as they have not yet commented on that will bring you more details on that story as we get them of course all right let's move over to other matters capital continues to leave russia and economic regulators cannot really agree on how much is going to leave by the end of the year but so far the number stands at fifty eight billion dollars now global big number russia has had zero net inflows since two thousand and eight and the losses have amounted to almost three hundred sixty billion so far this year now the number of course the g.d.p. of the united arab emirates and the finance ministry and the central bank expect this year's outflow to be around sixty to sixty five billion dollars but the deputy

minister of economic development believes it will be at last year's level of eighty four billion. dollars the third quarter numbers suggest that overflew is unfortunately continuing and accelerating this is due to a number of factors and they are not always related with an unfavorable business climate because we are seeing an inflow of foreign investment maybe it's not coming into place 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 borne in mind so we think the truth. this year will be at the level of last year maybe just a little bit less but. now let's move to the markets and right now we are seeing the situation improving in europe it's marginally ignoring the basically the fact that spain's credit rating has been cut down to triple b. minus which is one notch away from junk status and that's on the back of a jobs report which has come out in the united states with jobless claims coming

down by thirty thousand to the lowest level since february two thousand and eight so basically i'm a sad expected to to see jobless claims actually rising by one thousand by. this reports coincides with the fact that we just had last week a fantastic job report saying that when the rates went down to seven point eight percent now meanwhile global wealth fell over five percent in the past year and the years own. the crisis was one of the main reasons for the drop according to the credit suisse europeans indeed are suffering the most around the world they've lost around eleven trillion dollars in money and asset value which is hardly surprising the worst hit were france italy and germany but it's not all that bad global household wealth is expected to rise by almost fifty percent in the next five years to free under thirty trillion and the number of millionaires world was expected to reach forty six million in two thousand something. all right this is the picture in

a rush it's still barely changed as you can see there with an increase of just one third of a percent now also improving the mood in russia is the fact that russia's budget surplus came out of one point four percent the first nine months if the viewers remember the previous years russia struggles to actually make ends meet. the budget . and on the currency is market we are seeing be a russian ruble strengthening against both the dollar and the euro that's on the back of higher oil prices which is in turn based on the tensions increasing between turkey and syria and the euro is increasing in value against the dollar. and that's all i have time for this hour of course we'll be back with more details on that iraq's whopper around in that one hour all right thank you to me coming up discusses the dark side of technological progress with the co-founder of computer security corporation.

it's perched atop a jaw and the view from the kremlin stretches as far as the eye can see apt for a city to all of siberia for centuries. it lost its economic importance even before it was bypassed by the chance i bear in railway but the a spiritual center. seems like these are a yearly occurrence thousands of worshippers did themselves in blessid water to commemorate the baptism of jesus. in the fifteen eighties the russians had only just conquered siberia taking it from
