syria refuses absolutely untrue turkish claims that they intercepted the moscow damascus flight was used to carry a munition with the departure airport also saying because it was illegal. and take the time to assume the role of peacemaker in the region stand in contrast to a group pools that alcoa is behind an arms smuggling how fueling this syrian and. also this hour is finite in american politics with vice presidential candidates facing off in a bitter battle waste and similarly at each other. plants as they

know we're doing nobel committee prepares to announce the winner of the coveted peace prize a look at how much there would actually have to do with. this is coming to live from moscow hello and welcome to the program damascus has lashed out at ankara over allegations that this c. one passenger jet intercepted by turkey in mid-flight carried out russian made a new nation see what authorities along with the moscow air force their displeasure the flights maintained there was no illegal cargo on board and all this now from medina. syria calls it turkey should allegations about the syrian a plane was carrying on the nation and some others saw it off military cargo as absolutely untrue stressing that the plane was not carrying anything illegal so far

the tricky side hasn't provided any out of a dense proving the statement in response see red keys to turkey also piracy over the detention off its plane a late on wednesday meanwhile a russian airport representatives from where the plane a initially departed to damascus as out of the customs and the security did not to find anything suspicious before the planes take off and now the documents coming from the airport have already been handed to officials for further inspection again of this incident took place late on wednesday when having departed from one of the moscow airports syrian air passenger plane that was carrying thirty seven people on board was heading to damascus when as soon as it crossed the turkish border tricky style sixteen fighter jets forced the plane to a land and after the search that lasted for most of them the nine hour worser and later the people on board of this plane completely poor and at times to very

aggressive to truth and treatment coming from the turkish security forces the plane's cargo was confiscated and only after we found the plane could continue its roots in syria claims that this turkey speak hebrew yet again proves its policy which is not aimed at keeping peace in the area. we in turkey own want peace and safety in this region that is our desire you would never have an incentive to start a war the price of war is apparent in iraq of paranoia afghanistan and it is apparent in syria even within such a small time frame as one of your half years judge and a cubit a fourth of the actions. speak louder than words the proper upset is if that is true then this statement from the turkish prime minister drowns in the evidence uncovered by a lebanese correspondent when she went to the border between turkey and syria and stumbled upon what seems to be

a weapons delivery spot yannick in the movie scene with the real barbed wire with a dark clean field with all of three armed men and then flashing lights from a trunk the impact of the weapon while the syrian group takes its share in leaves i was asked not to film the immensity of the journalist in me you know if i was was interviewed for days on end by turkish officers before being released to lebanon but once she was released and her material turned to her she realized the pictures filmed on you turkish syrian border were greenest while in the custody of turkish officials the free syrian army headquarters for months were located in southern turkey before they were moved back to syria in late september numerous reports from the region pointed to turkey as the main gateway of military and financial support to syrian rebels so when uncle ross speaks of peace in the region you see its words

because he's actually daring is number one how we have we have a fire burning in syria. it's back in the rebels it's sending also played a very bad role in this whole conflict along in this conflict the turkish role i guess you have the audacity to bring down a syrian civilian aircraft carrying for him. just stalling know very aggressive monitor their proxies absolutely appalling in the span of twenty four hours on kharaj ties to russia for supposedly delivering military equipment to the syrian government and struck a kurdish base in neighboring iraq again proving its talk of a common aber hood is just that nothing more than words by acting as a mediator between the rebel fighters and their supporters on the road as little in terms of putting an end to the bloodshed in syria it says it wants nothing but stability and calm in the region but its actions seem to only worsen the situation that's already highly explosive in tel aviv it in a godless skull party. according to

a professor of international relations for take his bill county university the incident with the sewer and plane is part of an chorus proxy war against the assad regime you know to paraphrase go to show me the contents of the cargo hold on a larger unit called a diplomatic incident and this is in a sense. it is very hostile to the government in syria it is supporting the rebels it's allowing the b.b.c. show the earlier this week large quantities of admission and rockets to ten questions that most people if they read into syria from turkey and of course that confession had to be sold to people so is it wise is it going to be as a conduit to form side in a civil war where you know that it's just a war between democrats versus the dictator who's the most of the problem or some of these weapons may already have found their way back into to. top. also in their over these regular lebanon border has the last as it sounds of drones

that reach three hundred kilometers into israel's tightly guarded aspace a message that experts say could signal it's a readiness for war. hold on hostile show from the american vice presidential candidates as they faced each other either for the first and only time but what obama and romney remained curtis in their debate it was all about making a point accusing each other of lies disinformation and even ignorance they showed that there's no love lost between republicans and democrats that's california state university professor paul sheldon fruit says the rat city was obviously not a priority. after the first debate between obama and romney a political cartoonist drew a picture of don't kill those fighting each other with their noses this is no different than what other way to live through out neither side would attack the other on things in which they were vulnerable and that's why you have to pick these

tiny little issues for example biden biden said directly that. ryan had voted to put iraq and afghanistan wars on the credit card helping to cause the deficit so ron is actually right he was right about that he didn't bother to say the democrats were reports right and of course he's one of these ones who says this go the way he did he says by total world domination by total military power agreed and at the same time you had the gall to us say that iran was the world's leading supporter of the terrorism for example impacted america and saudi arabia one more terrorist organizations in the region than anybody else it's time for them to quit whining start with the american voters what the world and then debate about oh in cool still pictures of out on his gas to discuss just how different the candidates are that a chance as raining and to add john does that just say really awful shows coming your way it's nice to g.m.t. but his approval. if romney wins if the republicans win the white house they will

also probably keep the majority in the house and wins a majority in the senate and if the republicans control all the important political positions the white house the senate and see house then you will see a huge difference america has a huge dept and the next four years will be about who pays for that and i can tell you it will be a huge difference was obama controls the white house or mitt romney control go ahead jump in bro i think that misses the point he the fact is that you know you have any ideological debate to some degree during the campaign about when it comes to actually governing it's the same old story obama said lots of things during his campaign in any renounced virtually all of them when he became president and that's what you can expect with mitt romney romney's got five positions on every single issue that he's jumped forward in back.

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 to drive downtown and pay 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

this is welcome back the leader of hezbollah has claimed responsibility for launching a scout run into israel during the we can't just send more according to the lebanese resistance group the unmanned craft managed to reach sensitive locations including the dimona nuclear facility and political analyst says this means has allies ready for. the message to those really it's message to prime minister netanyahu has been like putting a lot of pressure on the obama administration to draw a lot of road lie and today i think i was about la crosse one of those red line and then there is the really area sprays for the first he didn't say for the first time you said that it's not the first time and probably would not be the last time and

the challenge is really security after israel actually violated lebanese airspace in the. five six years so i think hezbollah. was able actually to make. a very challenging for the prime minister of israel actually wanted to send very strong message to those israeli that there are ready and gave the ball and they have the means and the world to do what it takes if a war break out in the regional level the nobel prize season is in full swing and the headline grabbing peace award is due to be given out on friday the prize was conceived by alfred nobel to four star fraternity between nations but as can report some recent winners have done more to fuel conflicts around the world to comment. the decision on the nobel peace prize is often politically motivated for

a simple reason it's mostly about war and peace and we know that it's those with power who can wage or stop wars but where there is politics there is room for argument here we have the nobel peace prize laureates from the last ten twelve years let's try and bring up some of those arguments kofi annan served as the u.n. secretary general from one thousand nine hundred seven to two thousand and six while in office is stood by the u.s. and supported the nato bombing of former yugoslavia essentially bypassing the u.n. security council the move set a precedent in the poles cold war war that in some sense paved the way for more unilateral interventions by the way as was the iraqi invasion so kofi annan received his prize in two thousand and one another you unofficial on the list mohamed el baradei was served as the head of the u.n. nuclear watchdog for more than a decade until two thousand and nine he received a peace prize in two thousand and five years later mr el baradei announced that he

regretted his silence over the u.s. invasion of iraq in two thousand and three at that time the un watchdog had no evidence of your iraq having weapons of mass destruction and maybe argued mr el baradei could have done more to stop the invasion on false grounds but he didn't back to our list several u.s. politicians among the awarded including president jimmy carter. from nine hundred seventy seven to nine hundred eighty want is peace prize in two thousand and true to those who remember that ministration helped indonesia slaughter tens of thousands of people in east timor then there was al gore a presidential nominee who received the prize in two thousand and seven for raising awareness on climate change there were some arguments about that when as well and in two thousand and nine the nobel peace prize went to president obama probably the most arguable choice of the prize committee because at that time he was on less than one year into his presidency he has just announced the surge in afghanistan

yes he was pulling out if iraq but the deadline for withdrawal had already been set by the bush administration and it's worth noting that later the obama administration was working behind the scene to persuade the iraqi government to ask for a certain number of american troops to stay on but the iraqis didn't go forward so there was only one known american head of state on the list came de jonge awarded in the year two thousand the former president of south korea contributed to easing tensions with north korea and to the economic progress of his country whatever arguments one may have with regards to each of those laureates the nobel peace committee doesn't have to explain their choice of process is known to be very secretive and they wouldn't even say who the other nominees were until fifty years after the prize was awarded in washington i'm going to check them. and remember we've got plenty more lined up for you in our home and here's a taste of course we'll go there for now. still more to look at your diamond ring

advisor patrick young things european leaders just don't see the big picture. it's a terrible it's a damning indictment of everything that's wrong with the european union there's no leadership there's no organization and everybody is surviving on a wing and a prayer or being that the tooth fairy or some other miraculous being is going to suddenly see of the euro currency the problem is that once the e.u. gets a dog well it tends to stick with it i mean somewhat like a dog with a stick really it puts it into its might and shakes it all around it decides it won't let go of it and unfortunately what we're not seeing is the problem is that the northern european politicians led particularly by mrs merkel in germany how decided that they can't alternately give too much more money because they're not allowed to politically because their voters are against it but at the same time effectively they're in a situation where they're going to demand that are completely ignored remedy is going to be used which is cruised austerity. see you has once again said said there is not ready to join the union

a new report by the european commission demands belgrade to respect the territorial integrity of coleslaw once the prominence of the country which broke away you know launching to thousand and eight so is former foreign minister and currently be head of the un general assembly says it's a fully domestic issue for belgrade when it comes to territorial integrity. as well as sovereignty here in the un we are worried about respecting severin it into rhetorical integrity of countries of member states serbia's one such member states kosovo's not then i don't expect it ever to become one so my job is to worry about sovereignity interest to other integrity of your member states including serbia kosovo was an internal affair. serbia corroborated by disappeared the council's parameters. in the security council resolution four forty

four. some of the stories making headlines around the world and cairo protests is how once again descended on to his square infuriated by the acquittal of mubarak loyalists a group of former officials has been charged with sending mounted on demand to forcibly break up demonstrations last year president morsi has already removed the country's top prosecutor in reaction to public outrage activists have called for more progress on friday. riots erupted during what all supposed to be a peaceful protest on the streets of chile's capital thousands of students run against the privatization of education riot police used tear gas and water cannon and clashes with protesters with the confrontation continuing well into the night the student movement to keep up the pressure on the government despite the violence . at least two people have been killed in south africa after a protest by a mine workers the confrontation occurred between police and some of the twelve thousand striking miners who were fired last week the country's mining industry has

been hit by a wave while const trikes claiming dozens of lives since august and clashes with police. and to the business desk now where we're seeing a lackluster performance on the markets today marina is it a mixed performance across the board well i would say it's a mixed to negative because right now we have most of the markets are working trading and the session is a lackluster because we're not seeing any major moves up or down because we know that we've had a string of negative reports come in this week so it's hardly surprising that we've seen negative numbers but the reason we're not seeing major movements and we can take a look at the european markets as i said is the reason that we're not seeing any major moves right now is because in the absence of coming in or reports right now so it's not the footsies dropping over a quarter of a percent similarly with the german dax and of course you have just started trading so it's early on to say about that but let's stay with the euro and talk about greece because we have some very interesting statistics here apparently every

second young person in greece is failing to find a job as the jobless rate hit a record twenty five percent for the month of july one point three million greeks were on employed that month and more than one the foundation jobs have been caught every single day over the past year started to measures are likely to push the country into another year of recession and the jobless rate could draw is even further. ok and then let's take a look at the exchange rates and see where the euro dollar a ruble are standing right now the euro continues to strengthen against the u.s. dollar this hour. again against the currency basket the russian the markets we've seen and have been tracking the losses that we've seen overseas if we can take a look at their ocean markets so that you can see what i'm talking about as well so is that the r.t.s. and m i six already shot it over half a percent and now with when we take a look at the gold price you understand the picture even further basically it's and make speech right now that's because even though we had the u.s. jobless claims drop their lowest level in almost four years and we see that light

sweet is gaining at the same time rising tension in the middle east this calls and concerns over supply disruptions and not so it's affecting the oil prices that are now let's. hey with oil and with the story we like to call ross left likes it halts russia's oil giants is looking to help local african companies to build a gas pipeline from zimbabwe to mozambique the project has been reviewed by engineers at the moment and all the documents should be ready in time for the new year holidays the pipeline could be as low as seven hundred kilometers and costs around seven hundred million dollars also wants to build an oil storage terminal and zimbabwe. and a quick look at the asian markets investors there are getting ready to go home and make a close in the ride but we still have some sign which is trading and in fact chinese banks have been doing particularly well today and that was after acts of confidence came from china sovereign the wealth on which said that it will buy extra shares in the lender's of the country and tokyo markets remain flat this hour now let's they

will asia and talk about samsung because the u.s. court of appeals has overturned the sales ban on samsung's galaxy nexus the ruling comes as a blow to apple which in a few years old would soon get sued joins and earlier a u.s. court awarded apple one billion dollars and that was on the grounds its patents were infringed by samsung or the korean electronics company challenge the verdict and called for a retrial. and this is what we have for you this hour thank you very much indeed that marina see you next hour on next in the program oh she's laura smith interviews daniel hannan member of the european parliament who condemns the democratic structure and drains you across the show you no respect. today i'm talking to daniel hanna who's a conservative member of the european parliament he's about to bring his year of skepticism to the heart of brussels mr han thanks for talking to us now apparently

doing the rounds in brussels is a popular joke which says that if the european union was a country applying to join itself it would be rejected for not being democratic enough it's an amazing thing and we've stopped being amazed by it simply because of familiarity but we should be shocked by it that the only body that can propose new legislation in the european union is the unelected european commission if any country were run like that if supreme power wielded by twenty seven people who were immune to the ballot box that would be regarded as not real and yet the people who lose talk most fervently about turning the e.u. into something like a super state are remarkably relaxed about the undemocratic nature of it and from that basic lack of democracy you get the contempt for popular opinion you get the weight of sources like referendum results if they go the wrong way you get a sense that public opinion is an obstacle to overcome rather than

a reason to change direction it is an extraordinary and sad paradox that twenty seven countries each of them a liberal parliamentary democracy in its own right have come together and accepted a system that would make zimbabwe look democratic and how did that happen exactly was its kind of creeping takeover by technocrats i think the origins actually go back to the very beginning of the european union. the founding fathers had had a very mixed experience of democracy is especially of the referendum plebiscite re kind of numb ocracy that existed in the one nine hundred thirty s. they sort of mock or see as opposed to i would go so far so they were anti-democratic but they saw it is a potentially dangerous force that could lead to demagoguery to fascism and to war and so they were quite open about deliberately vesting supreme power in the hands of why technocratic experts who wouldn't have to worry about public opinion would

be able to take the tough decisions and of course you know there is no such person as the wise disinterested expert they all have their prejudices they all have their assumptions and freed from the constraints of public opinion they were able to get on with creating an almost autocratic system which has stayed in large measure in place to this day which is why you know when people vote against it that is seen as the beginning of the argument rather than as as it would be in a proper democracy the end of the argument you've recently released a book under this high still a day marriage which is about the relationship between the e.u. and the u.k. why did you decide to form the subtitle is britain and europe is not a is not a marriage guidance piece although well it's an interesting one i read the review of a work by a marriage guidance counsellor i didn't read the book but the review said something fascinating. it said that a relationship can take a lot of arguing that raul's are not a bad thing because if you are arguing with your husband or wife it suggests that

you care enough about his or her view that you want to change it it's when the rowels give way to contempt when the stormy sessions fall silent and give way to scorn the relationship is over and i think something similar has happened even in the time that i've been an m.e.p. when i was first elected constituents would write to me very angrily and say outrageous that the budget is on approved outrages that all the money is being spent on these agricultural and foreign aid boondoggles outrages that the system is so undemocratic and now. what you get much more often is a kind of you know what you expect the whole system is rushing and that's when you realize that the marriage is over and i think it's just a question of time and how we how we negotiate the most amicable divorce and you've even gone as far as to call the relationship between your a crafts and ordinary those is abusive yes in the sense that the ordinary voter if you like what the voter i mean will not go in the order of the voter is seen as an inconvenience is seen as a problem you know.
