turkey endangered russian lines up to war jets intercepted a syrian passenger plane flying from moscow all the suspicion that it was carrying weapons to damascus. those on board the plane tell r t they were threatened and humiliated by turkish authorities during the stop and i'm caught up in. a yemeni security official working for the us embassy it is assassinated in the capital in the latest incident signaling our condos on the rise in the region. and a bitter blow to struggling spain as its debts downgraded to almost junk by

standard and poor's. eleven welcome to our two we're reaping the latest news from around the globe i'm carol. well passengers on board a syrian plane forced to land an on call to have told r.t. they were humiliated and threatened by turkish security forces f. sixteen fighter jets intercepted the flight from moscow and it was bound for damascus was also carrying thirty seven people many of them who were russian we do have our correspondent artes man do you know she has the details and will be with her and just a moment. russia's

foreign ministry demanded x.-plane nations so wide turkey 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 of this plane in among them there were small children moreover russian embassy in ankara sound deployments and a doctor to the airport however they were all denied access without giving any explanations to the euro accuses turkey off a priority over at the detention alfred's plane he also spoke to the flight engineer who told us that the crew felt degraded why church the security forces during their stop at the end of our airport. authorities told us they wanted to take all the boxes out we said that that was not

a problem we just needed to see a warrant they said no first we will unload the boxes says the we needed this year weren't they left and came back in an hour with ten on shoulders they pointed their guns at the hands of those put those on the ground then they drove us back to the plate in two vehicles turkey claims that the reason behind this incident is the fact tradition tallit just believed the plane was a carrying some sort of a military cargo however later according to the reports that the cargo that was found on the plane contained radio equipment which was not produced in russia and not weapons but still the search allotted 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's come under scrutiny 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. but 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 we didn't elaborate have egg on their face the interception of the syrian plane by turkish authorities as

a signal that nato countries are ready for open military confrontation want to mascots that's the view of u.s. base and tom warrant of us and our analysts 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 when no 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 tension between turkey and syria reaches

a worrying peak we're asking for your thoughts on whether al qaida will send troops into its neighbors territory you can cast your vote at our to call also still ahead bring you all the program there might be another front opening up any of the terms we'll call it syria as the u.s. has deployed troops to georgia things are far from call. elsewhere in the middle east. and yemen a security official at the u.s. says some of us embassy also coordinated anti terror work with yemeni authorities has been shocked at washington's increasingly acknowledging the rise of terror and the lack of scrutiny as security rather in the region. has more. the 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 and not just 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 all 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 position of qaddafi things have just got 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 all of these so-called dictatorships this was the case in libya of course this was the case in yemen 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. officials 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. say u.s. congressional hearing that found security at the mission quit but retired cia officer ray mcgovern says the congressman took four rather look for weak spots in guarding american missions in the middle east there failing to get to the root of the problem. this is

a political corner this is represented trying to make political points now they're trying to get hillary clinton who are alike of understanding good security. that's not where they should try to. get because the word she. in libya the problem here is not getting to the bottom of the thing the bottom of the thing is that you seem congressman ok they. forgot their constitutional duty insisting that before we went to war in libya to be a congressional vote they ducked and the result is the people like hillary clinton and others think they could fix things boys and the country. almost dark that's the graham verdict on spain's credit rating coming from the influential agency standard and poor's in the latest blow to the cash strapped economy as some p. has downgraded madrid's debt score by. the rating agencies that are sterile

childlessness and nationwide and rest have left the government's hands tied it added that madrid's ability to deal with the debt crisis and stop the ongoing recession was now severely limited spain recently announced a slew of new cuts and tax hikes in a bid to cut the deficit. a spanish journalist and writer says during the years of economic woes the e.u. has been failing to offer an effective remedy to. the problem is political is not is not the economy of course economy looks very good but the problem in europe is the european union doesn't work as a natural political union. vcs the catch is that the european union can offer instead all for well doing some soul searching trying to think how to make these missing words and i buy

a mechanism i mean. they repeat and you know we've behaved us different countries which yes of course we are part of the same currency but dr saul we look for ourselves and i think it's not where we are not offering real solutions just well remedies to to kick the can down the road as they say all staring is now a dirty word among leaders but even though the terminology is changing the no pain no gain formula stays in full swing although not everyone is convinced it's working as we hear later plus. reports suggest baghdad wants a kick out exxon mobile from the super giant westcott the one boiled project and potentially the place to russian companies more on this and other stories after a short break.

it always amazes me the lengths that people go to for things that are pointless people camped out for a week waiting for a new i phone that will be archaic by next year when the next one comes out every black friday many thankfully not all americans celebrate this holiest of shopping

days by waiting outside of a wal-mart in the early morning to fight over trendy plastic gifts for their children that they're too young to appreciate hey even i'm willing to sometimes wake up early in the morning drive downtown and be twenty five bucks for parking to watch a football game under cations but just imagine a world where we actually were willing to wake up early and stand a big crowd for something say more important than some stupid gizmo or the sake of our favorite sports team just imagine iraq and that world would be yeah maybe standing around at some protester collecting signatures won't do anything we can't be naive enough to think that big corporations will bow to ten people with signs bought spending days worshiping at the altar of the i phone it's certainly won't improve your country but that's just my opinion.

hello and welcome back to our team for more world news with me karen terror well britain's prime minister insists he'll hold firm on further austerity and there is bad news for anyone expecting him to loosen up in the near future the i.m.f.'s warning that the u.k. will miss its deficit targets this year not all for ross leader of you can dependents party says david cameron's policies are not bringing any meaningful change to the recession ravaged economy. you know when david cameron talks about astaire 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 forty percent so i think we're having an entirely false debate and 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 and all these leaders have been showing the mafia who's balls powerful bathroom friends didn't help one city council in the south it's been dissolved by the government because of its corrupt connections as we report online. and we are going in the sky trucks are russian scientists are planning to use satellites to pinpoint and kartik sparks.

but turning our attention to the middle east now where syria might be facing trouble not just on its borders with turkey u.s. troops are in jordan then what's become the biggest fixed deployment of american force in the region since the end of operations in libya the pentagon siding the danger of violence spilling over and monitoring syria's chemical weapons stockpile artist can has more on the move and the intended message. according to defense secretary leon panetta they send the troops to syria jordan 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 a joint u.s. jordanian military center north of all man that americans have used for years the news about u.s. military personnel so close to syria actual actual boots on the ground 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 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 now let's turn to other news making headlines around the world u.s. drone strikes and northwest pakistan have tilled at least ten suspected militants four missiles were fired on a compound in an area bordering afghanistan the attack comes days after emotion protest against american drone strikes in pakistan some estimates say the strategy is responsible for hundreds of civilian. deaths. 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 ring galt's reactor site which 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 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 role in the and gas exports that fresh american penalties are targeting. policy director for the national iranian american council thinks it's not just your right knee i'm enrichment but the iranian government as a whole that's the real target one has this administration has appeared to annex nations 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 they're saying they're 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 with washington trying to rein in the jewish state's military rhetoric policy or reports on how wide the division has become. over the years israeli leaders have been very careful in expressing their stance towards american politics until now with u.s. elections less than a month away israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has made no bones about who he favors and it is not iraq obama netanyahu 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 is what netanyahu as we 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 the red lines for iran which if crossed would bring military action so far washington's refused prompting a tongue lashing from netanyahu. who. don't 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. american strength note of apology 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 quote unquote terrorism traditionally israeli leaders have relied on broad 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 his board. 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 condition and i think the room the america river will be

there will not work against it as they worked last year. the result will be you really think. surveys 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. after a short break dmitri while trying us with the business nears of more details on the all business shuffle in iraq.

and welcome to the business update on r t with me. now according to media reports baghdad wants to get rid of exxon mobil and its super giant west one project and replace it with russian companies let's now get the details from a business that has a nick pool all right make what is behind this move. but it seems that exxon mobil has angered baghdad by doing a series of deals with the kurds in the northern region of iraq which of course is a separatist region now ten years on from the u.s. led invasion of iraq the government assessing its newfound independence by booting the america's biggest oil company out of the giant west coast no one feel there are other west and oil firms operating in iraq at the moment chevron in total but both of those deals with the cuts in the north so this pretty much leaves the russians.

the quick big question is who's it going to be look what was already working on developing west two and is spending tens of billions of dollars that it says it does not wish to increase exposure so that really leaves gazprom the. have to do most viable candidates but at the moment neither of making any comment as to where . if they wish to be involved i would say that prime minister putin met. probably president putin prime minister. wednesday this week and said he wants to have greater involvement in the development of the iraqi oil industry it looks like he might be about to get his wish. all right thank you so much for these details of course report more on that story as we as we get more information on it. all right let's let's move over to again one that once again a surprising report from the labor department in the u.s. jobless claims have come in at

a decline of thirty thousand within one week this is the drop a drop to the lowest level since again february two thousand and eight when barack obama took office this also coincides with the report that came in last week which put the unemployment rate at seven point eight percent one of the sticking points in the romney obama debate and also it was very widely unexpected because the expected figure was an increase of one thousand so i was surprised the surprises us take a look at what's happening on the markets in reaction to that and the u.s. markets are looking positive this hour as you can see that adjoins nasdaq gaining half a percent and three quarters of a percent over in europe it seems the markets are now completely ignoring the fact that s. and p. downgraded for the i don't know ten times of the rating of spain to triple b. minus which is just above junk status and that's priced into the markets and even

the spanish index the ibex is now positive for used to lose around half a percent snow much of an impact. all right let's move over now global wealth fell over five percent in the past year in the euro zone crisis was one of the main reasons for the drop according to credit suisse european suffered the most and last around eleven trillion dollars worth of assets which. hardly surprising the worst hit were france italy and germany it's not all that bad global household wealth is expected to rise by almost fifty percent in the next five years to three hundred thirty trillion the number of millionaires worldwide is expected to reach forty six million in two thousand and seventeen. let's take a look at what's happening in russia there's now around fifteen minutes still left on the clock for trading and it's looking a bit more positive than it was an hour ago but still gains of very much limited on the russian markets despite higher oil prices and seems.
