russia and turkey will try to shield growing economic and trade ties for my widening rift over the syrian conflict has president putin visit all turkey that leads calls for international action on the conflict and strongly backs the opposition has asked nato to deploy patriot missiles at its border moscow says the move will only provoke more tension. reports now from. russian president was it would take us quite an extensive agenda on this visit in this town full of course a lot of documents are expected to be signed concerning the cultural and economic cooperation between russia and turkey but it's not so much the issues which the two countries are green on this the issues on which moscow and prof have sort of disagreements about which will be the focus of the meetings of course these are mostly dealing with gaza in the us about that its recent conflict with israel and of course the issue with syria now you have to remember that uncle rod has just recently filed an official petition to nato to put dietrich missiles on the border

with syria turkey says that it's afraid of a possible spillover from the civil unrest in its closest neighboring country into the turkey just territory but russia remains adamant that putting weapons on the border with other countries. use possibility of those weapons actually being used and that this is the surge which was employed by the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov the force these are expected to be that she's disappeared the issues in the region to be discussed by those in the fields in moscow has been crystal clear to all of the world see the determination of increasing. the conflict in syria which has been raging on for almost two years to the nonprofit ex-pres it said disapproval of the current rule of president bashar asad on many occasions it has openly supported the syrian opposition in this latest move with the patriot missiles on is. order seems to be and another. all the uncle was determined nation

city. i. welcome back palestinian president mahmoud abbas has returned home to cheers from

supporters after he won the de facto stated recognition from the un the mood though wasn't mirrored in israel which promptly shut down cash flow to the region israel collects around one hundred million dollars in taxes and customs duties which goes directly to the palestinians but that will now be used to pay their substantial debts to israeli companies earlier israel also announced further settlement expansion the palestinians un upgrade doesn't change the situation on the ground but allows the autonomy access to international organizations to challenge israel's actions earlier israeli academic middle east and told my colleague kevin zero in that statehood should be achieved through peace talks. the majority of israelis and . in the sky every move by the way has stated clearly that they'd like to see palestine independent both of us understand that there's a difference between saying palestine independent and doing it on your own with the united nations without israel as a partner as if saying that the impediment is just the state that's here let's do

this hand in hand without negotiations without us as a partner to do a one sided to impose it on israel and they feel the strong need to give a response as an israeli i can say that has to do with domestic politics personally i don't necessarily adhere to that stop i think you've heard a lot of criticism here in israel in linking it in such a way but that is also about politics but of course israel maybe not helping the matter could be said on top of the and i was for the settlements israel's also announced it's not going to hold over a hundred million dollars of aid to the palestinians to pay back debts to israeli companies is that really an option when of course you've got the world's largest refugee populations on your doorstep that refugee population is something that needs to be taken care of and the case but i'm looking at these as part of the last four years the decision that was made on thursday from my point of view was an israeli was anti israel not just pro palestinian i want to see something which is

a win win situation one that's both pro palestinian that goes towards an independent state not just in rhetoric no not just in fact rationed but in actuality and to do so those same palestinians kevin how to come back to the negotiation table for the last four years they have refused to do so they've refused time and again and we're all aware of that it was one of the main reasons that the forty states did abstain from the vote on thursday did so because of that rejection of israel it isn't just about being pro palestine it's also about accepting israel here and that's where we need to go. while staying in the region in france and britain may be considering hard moves against israel find out online world wide areas in london may recall their ambassadors from israel because of over televisa seeking to expand settlements in disputed territories that is on party dot com plus gridlock a giant traffic jam in russia paralyzes

a major highway trapping motorists of a day visit more details there that it was. a miserable failure that is how the opposition described the british government's program to reduce unemployment the five billion pound plan aimed at encouraging private firms to take up those who lost their jobs due to public sector cuts help less than three percent of those who signed for it r.t. sarah firth has this report. some months now twenty five year old jay paxton's been keeping a video diary about his experiences on the government's work programme. the work programs the government's flagship scheme that pays private sector organizations to place people in work and they called it a revolution in welfare but the first figures released since its launch revealed a resoundingly failure something that hasn't surprised in the slightest so you've

left a to go and keep his appointment now it seems pretty tightly regimented we watch people running in all morning to keep that appointment g.'s been coming to this job center once a fortnight for the past six months that he's been on the government's work programme in the time he hasn't found a single job unfortunately that's not uncommon the latest figures released by the department of work and pensions say that joe is just one of hundreds of thousands of people that is signed up to that work program he's found absolutely nothing. in fact between jeanne two thousand and eleven and july this year of all the people he was signed up to the work program and the three point four percent found work fall below the targets of five point five percent which is the number of people he find work without any sort of program it means that people like the typically

less likely to find a job than if their own new work program whatsoever can you talk as he is to the last six months what has the experience on a daily basis with this work. well. einstein once said that the definition of insanity is to do one thing and then to repeat production and expect a different result and after doing the same thing and getting the same results for six months i'm starting to feel pretty insane every year and it is maddening the frustration be anguish despair most of the time the job in the experience is having serious effects are actually gone to the doctors a couple of times because of our sleeping cycle problems i'm sleeping way too much and i should be at the doctor's them sounds interesting from what you've said it sounds pretty terrific when you fill in this track list and filled in the chart listeners like you got clinical depression. figures.

at the start i was drawn science i'm going to be the next greatest thing show the world it's like i don't want to take. a drug to do something more constructive things are pretty much. all fish if malik tells us that the one size fits all formats is the work program it's stifling the individuality of young. people i speak to quite intelligent quite bright some of them have to be some of them don't some of them are quite well skilled and they hate being told what to do and they like to take appropriate action for themselves. be quite good at finding work for themselves. it is difficult with a work program what we've seen though is that in fact when you get the best of the private sector involved when you pay them lots of money they actually do worse than doing nothing at all we asked the government why their work program was pretty things such poor results and why the figures they really seem designed to mask the

true extent of the failure they responded saying it's ridiculous to suggest the work programme is not helping people into work despite being faced with their own shortcomings it seems the government still doesn't want to listen to people like telling the loud and clear i regret to inform you that on this occasion you have been unsuccessful. so r.t. london a look now some other news making headlines this hour anti-government protesters have held mass demonstrations in bahrain define the kingdom's ban on large public gatherings there demanding increase rights and an end to widespread discrimination against the shiite majority the bahraini authorities have failed to implement the reforms they promised and have been handing out harsh jail sentences to prominent opposition activists ten christians have been killed in a in
