online on screen international news and comment live from our studio center here in moscow this is. syrian rebels have abducted four un peacekeepers patrolling the separation zone between syria and israel members of the martyrs brigade posted this picture online claiming they're holding the peacekeepers for their own safety after clashes in the area it comes as the u.s. secretary of state holds talks in moscow trying to find common ground on what to do next in syria and there is that picture for you now in artie's he is following the talks and joins me live now so it's quite a challenge then isn't it john kerry to win over russia. indeed it is understood that kerry came here to moscow to seek. just supported

resolving the syrian conflict in detail already set up to meeting the russian president that russia and the united states have a similar viewpoint on the syrian conflict but experts are at a dismay as to how exactly he may get that support because there are fundamental differences in how both washington and moscow see the resolution of the syrian conflict at the moment in particular russia has been strongly coming up against the militarization of the syrian rebels something which is now being discussed across the atlantic and russia has been saying that this is never contributing to a peaceful resolution of the war in the region another sticking point here another bone of contention is the use of chemical weapon chemical weapons in syria which is allegedly used by the government troops russia says that this has never been proved and the fact which never been proved to not serve as an excuse for a possible military intervention or anything of the sort it is really hard to say whether kerry has been trying to relay official washington's position here in

moscow or try to lord beef the the initiative which is now being discussed the united states to provide military support for the syrian rebels but we are expecting more comments from the u.s. state secretary after he meets the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov this will be certainly one of the top meetings over the last several months and it's interesting just to see what they will be discussing it is expected to start any time soon it will be followed by a press conference which of course will be trying to bring life to all of us alexey thank you very much indeed for that live update there in central moscow where israel is facing the prospect of syria based militants attacking across its northern border with the backing of assad's regime a palestinian group reportedly says it's been given the green light by damascus to carry out raids from the heights which it's over here it's apparently part of syria's response to a series of israeli air strikes on its territory over the weekend syrian missile batteries have also been pointed at israel ready to retaliate immediately in case

of a new attack and in neighboring lebanon combined syrian lebanese units reportedly on standby. well for more on this let's now talk to neil lazarus he's a former israeli foreign ministry and defense forces consultant now is israel supporting the muslim fighters against president assad it well let's just check you were there for a moment are you there can you see me. about this i was hoping to. is an israeli foreign ministry of defense forces consultant trying to just establish the connection i did speak to him just a few moments ago off air but i believe he is still there nearly there. and yes i can hear you clearly great sorry about that we got a slight delay i can hear you clearly now tell me is israel supporting.

president sad if so it seems quite an odd alliance isn't it saying israel is siding with muslims. the alliance doesn't exist what israel has been doing and acting in the last few days has been according to reports aiming at. and aiming at hizbollah rockets in other words what israel is trying to prevent is arms coming from iran to. syria israel is not interested in siding on one side or the other with the conflict the opposite they're interested in stopping those missiles getting into the hands of either all those radical al-qaeda groups you were talking about minus fight it out with chad and surely israel is supporting the rebel opposition against assad they're going to benefit from those attacks surely. well. this is certainly the case if israel wanted to weaken the regime then they would of

i would have assumed attacks at the palace of ascent the reality on the ground is that israel is targeting. they are getting rockets of longer and longer range which could and we've seen them used in the past be used used against those civilians whether children or people on their way to work in television and elsewhere listen to the head of his book only last week he was calling for the destruction of the state of israel israel prevented him from getting the rockets provided by alone to do that israel is trying to stop hizbollah from committing in the future as genocide. can you explain why israel was very quiet after these attacks there is no official statement there seems to be no tangible evidence of intelligence that that's exactly the reason why it was attacking these targets because of the threat of hezbollah bombs you could be accused of course all of the international war by attacking

a country within forty eight hours two attacks in just forty eight hours over the weekend are you not in breach of international law. look again i don't speak on behalf of the israeli government but i can. hazard a guess at some of the points and reasons of the quiet on israeli site the question of international law is kind of amusing when it's being pointed at israel as if israel was breaking international law have a look what's going on happen to look at what's going on in syria today you have eighty thousand people killed you have over a million refugees you have over four point two million refugees and that regime is being supported by countries abroad including iran including russia the reality on the ground is that those people guilty of war crimes to beat people who will be in the international court is the syrian regime which is being propped up by two external countries israel weakened the possibility of the regime

collapses those weapons would be given to either al-qaeda or hizbollah so the reality on the ground is israel was well within its rights internationally to protect its civilians but protect its civilian surely it's going to make the situation worse for israel it's facing now the threat of palestinian attacks from syrian territory lebanon is also pledging to support syria surely the countries putting itself even in even more dangerous position for what many would see as a reckless attack at a very sensitive time which could help me to regional conflict. i would totally disagree with that statement how dangerous can it be when you have a fanatic organization such as hizbollah getting long range weapons supplied by iran that's a nightmare for everyone that's why the british have been supporting israeli action

that's why the french and even europe in supporting the israeli action israel was justified it's justified on to international law if you have an carrying an ax and he's at your front door you don't wait for him to ring the doorbell israel acted to prevent missiles landing being launched bikers all in from syria came near invited by iran. despite those arguments you raise do you think israel though acted on its own or was it doing it on behalf of the us just briefly. israel was certainly acting by itself to protect its civilians and protecting the future in other words is securing the situation by d. arming. and getting the weapons which were coming to hezbollah via syria from iran and stopping them being launched at tel aviv. great to talk to you thank you very much and i appreciate course you're not speaking on behalf of the israeli

government of course you are a former israeli foreign minister in defense forces consultant very interesting to hear what you have to say thanks for joining us live here on r.t. . well still ahead for you this hour novel way to use cutlery a young prisoner shows that the scoop is more than just an eating utensil in just a few moments find out how he borrowed his way out of jail and. tourism lifts the veil on how industry gets its way with the german government and find out how the business lobby pushes its agenda that's later in the program stay with us in the sky. britain is under pressure to put tighter controls on its radioactive materials off

to its emerged that hazardous substances have gone missing in numerous locations over the last decade and effecting industries nuclear reactors an evil schools are implicated in the list obtained from the health and safety authority some of the materials a volatile enough to be sought by terrorists. businesses universities. have been using radioactive and often very dangerous materials how did in some cases mislaid or even list these materials now we've been going through the documentation did a good copy of it here with me now and what's incredible about it is that this isn't just one or two incidents this is happened more than thirty times over the last decade and you see things like depleted uranium you've got cesium one three seven one of the incidents we saw at the royal free hospital names and balance to the incident it was a cesium one three seven that had gone missing and that's been used for treatment

of a cancer patient and if you look at what she said describing that material it fitted out the potential to cause significant radiation into race to anyone handling it or even in directly coming in contact with it for a short period of time just going down the list here and you've got a very simple he used to big names in british industry rules were darby that had been creating the reactors that britain's nucleus of was some of these incidents have been prosecuted well some of the firms are being prosecuted many all the instance on here have actually seen these involved in the culprits get away with little more than a written warning nuclear consultant explains how easy it would be for terrorists to use some of the leaked materials. well if you take one one substance for example was cesium and yet those two materials what you need to do there if you was

a terrorist you had evil intent then all you need to do is to ignite burn or detonate a conventional explosive packed near that material to disperse it as a fine but a part in the air and that makes it responsible it makes it comes a contaminant so for example a scenario a scenario in a city would be to actually explode or burn this material at a high level say in a tower block or say in a city like moscow to actually burn it on the metro system on the tube system and let the trains realm be radioactive atmosphere around the metro system and that would be very very difficult to decontaminate and control because the gas would be pumped around by the trains going through the tunnels into each station. china is hosting the leaders of both palestine and israel as the asian giant looks to boost its influence in the middle east for israel beijing is its largest trading partner in asia and prime minister benjamin netanyahu wants to do more business but

diplomatically beijing is leading very much towards israel's arch rival palestine a day before netanyahu a rival palestinian leader mahmoud abbas was given full state owners in beijing present went on to offer a four point peace plan calling for an end to the gaza blockade and the restoration of palestinian rights. reports on the rush to the east. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and the palestinian president mahmoud abbas are currently in china they are there on a week long business trip but obviously they won't just be talking business they'll be talking politics and they'll be trying to further cooperate and entrenched relations in the fields of economy trade and science and also develop political trust for some time we have witnessed how china is trying to influence the middle east and play a bigger role in this part of the world if you look at israeli chinese relations in one thousand nine hundred two the two countries began and established diplomatic

relations and since then they have developed increasingly close commercial military and strategic links trade between the two countries currently stands at around ten billion dollars a year their investments in israel are at the beginning i believe they have a number of reasons why the inverse of why they don't invest in is the root. i think this think also in large political terms they think is very simple country they want to have a foothold here. but we also noticed that china else china has always supported the arab side in the conflict at least burbling. but you notice that in the last in the recent past they have become a maybe a little bit more hesitant. and maybe they will get something back from the arab side what is particularly interesting when we look at the relationship between israel and china is that it seems to be coming on the back of

a cooling of the relationship between israel and the united states there's no secret that the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and the american president barack obama do not like each other and obviously netanyahu is going to look around and search for new partners one of whom could easily become china if you take note of how china is getting more and more powerful of how the world is becoming more multi-polar when it is clear that there is no room for ignoring a world power such as china if you look at the euro crisis where did countries go in terms of asking for help china if you look at the north korea crisis where did countries go they ask china for help now in the turn yahoo is in china at a particularly sensitive time in terms of israeli syrian relations many people are asking why he did not cancel his trip to go there and in fact what role the recent syrian israeli flare up will have in terms of the agenda that is being addressed

there china has always had a firm position toward syria and it has always been on the side of negotiations never did it support the bloodshed from either side of the conflict so it will be interesting to see what comes out of if anything israeli chinese discussions over the situation in syria. or do you live here in moscow i'll be back with more news for you from around the world after a short break stay with us. wealthy british. time. markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger for

prison sources thirty three year old pile of somehow managed to dig out of the top of the ceiling of his cell get out onto the roof of this notoriously high security prison over the fence and away he is not a petty criminal he is charged with a double murder and with illegal arms trafficking the guards at the prison service say that it's most likely he really could only have used a spoon to dig out of that cell because this is the cells of regularly checked for other implements for that very purpose at the moment there is a manhunt underway to try and find mr pile of and also an investigation to look into possible negligence by guards just last year a very high profile almost hollywood escape from a prison a remote prison in russia where accomplices hijacked a helicopter and managed to use that to lift the said inmate out of the prison

he was later caught there are other examples as well across the world just last month a very notorious french armed robber took the guards hostage inside a french prison and then used explosives to blow the doors off and then escape himself and of course we can't end without mentioning nine hundred sixty two alcatraz and what were the the tools of choice there to escape of course the humble spoon. at the moment here in r.t. just as scientists claim they're close to creating a vaccine for hiv it appears there could be another design on its way we go. spreading across the world which medics say is drug resistant to auntie don't come for more details on the infection some fear could be even worse than aids. could turn. kim dotcom threatens to sue new zealand's foreign intelligence agency

frugal times in europe of course a surge of public interest in how governments are spending taxpayers' money who is pulling the strings behind the big decisions some enterprising german tour guides and there were from visitors to berlin the chance to catch a behind the scenes glimpse of how businesses lobby the government. reports on the murky relationship between commerce and politics. on the streets of berlin there's a new form of tourism grabbing attention sightseeing tours that show just how the political lobbying process works. everyone gather around their big green i just want to make sure everyone can hear within a couple of kilometers we take in how an issue goes from the desk of the lobby organization to the ear of a politician and it's opening ice. is there i didn't know how powerful the industry is it's interesting to see how they go about pushing their agenda but why

are these people giving up their saturday afternoon to traipse around closed office buildings it's a topic that you get much information on. easily and i thought also think it's a topic that's very abstract but we manage to. make it more concrete we give a lot of concrete examples on the door and we go to where the lobbyists are and i think that's what makes it attractive to take the tour and you go to see where germany's auto giants make their presence felt and how they made sure the countries highways famously have no speed limits and since this is germany of course the beer industry also has a say. really look we were facing a drop off in sales so this is where they look to be allowed to lemonade tasting better to attract a younger crowd of. people with money have more of a say in politics than the normal man in the street what i'm seeing is that

political decisions are made by the rich one of the most interesting parts of the tour is getting to see where the closed door meetings take place in highly selective private clubs these are clips. we all know these discussions take place this tour like to see just where they happened i had no idea that there was such a place as the china club right here in the political center of the city the popularity of tours like the one we've just seen shows that more and more germans are wanting to find out exactly who's pulling the strings behind some of the major decisions they get taken in parliament peter all of r.t. . and often our stay with us now for the cause report that's coming up next. and yet another step along the pointless anti gender crusade activists in sweden are pushing to promote a new gender neutral pronoun these activists want the term hen to replace the

pronouns han and haun which mean he and she respectively i think the logic of these bizarre gender neutral movements in the e.u. is that they really feel that it's awful to force someone into a role that doesn't fit them you know i can kind of see this i remember back to when i was a boy in school and with me there was a kid what kind of only female friends and i certainly wasn't the sports a toy trucks kind of kid if you understand what i mean you know i could see this guy having all those male stereotypes shoved down his throat you know made his life at school really unpleasant but the wacko liberal answer to some tiny amount of people being pushed into gender roles they don't like is to force everyone else into a genderless world they don't like fantastic i guess gender neutrality advocates can speak swedish how they like and they're free to use this word hen but don't force everyone in the country to do things your way the overwhelming majority of the world is very happy with its gender thank you very much but that's just my opinion.
