syria's civil war has divided world leaders at the g. twenty summit was debates raging over u.s. plans to launch airstrikes against a country without a u.n. mandate. meanwhile international alarm is raised over a surge of extremism within the opposition forces in syria after al qaida linked rebels besiege an ancient christian village the latest in a wave of attacks on religious minorities. and fresh insight into britain and america's confidential folder shows nothing can stop government agencies from getting their hands on your personal data even the most heavily encrypted information is now vulnerable.

this start coming to you live from the russian capital i'm marina joshie welcome to the program now obama is also struggling to gather international support for strikes against syria the issue has divided world leaders at the g. twenty summit now in its second day in st petersburg and we'll bring you full coverage on those talks in russia's northern capital. well art is worth the shave in our g twenty studio in st that is burke with all the very latest update on what's going on and the summit hello there rory well while we're still waiting for a president or important to address the media the g. twenty summit do tell us what's going on there today. well it is as you said marina thanks very much for that day two of the g. twenty fifth two thousand and thirteen here in st petersburg ultimately though other syria issue as many people are saying does seem to be overshadowing what should be a global economic forum here at the g.

twenty but it's only just after five pm moscow time here we're well into excuse me some petersburg time i should say we are well into day two of the g. twenty and we're still feeling reverberations from last night's there was a late night delegation dinner where of course the issue of syria was raised and what we basically witnessed was truly an avalanche effect a snowballing effect of a growing surging opposition to any type of military strike against syria in fact at this delegation dinner late last night a members of the china delegation were very supporting russia and saying there should be absolutely no military strike against syria also the china delegation saying that if there is a strike what it will do apart from causing more bloodshed and causing more turmoil in the region it will hike up global oil prices affecting all the advanced and developing emerging economies around the world not just china though many indeed all of the e.u. members of the delegation also voicing opposition to a military strike against syria the u.n. coming out bang ki-moon the u.n.

chief saying that no country can invade another one without some sort of mandate from the united nations and to give you some sort of a i suppose clarity here about the urgency of the growing of this opposition to a strike on syria the pope has even gotten involved pope francis dispatching a letter of urgency to the delegation here the g twenty saying that when you consider the loss of life every day in syria the blood being spilled some sort of military strike against the country would only cause further why. bloodshed so what we're seeing here is truly incredible a real growing up opposition which would start any type of intervention in syria the aunties and the tsunami she's actually at the venue for the g. twenty summit in just a bit earlier she filed this report. president of the european commission barroso has called the syrian civil war the worst humanitarian crisis in modern history that gives you an idea of the severity of the situation and really how it has taken over this g twenty summit in st petersburg leaders worked well into the wee hours

of the night at a working dinner where the topic on the table literally was syria we are hearing from various sources that leaders are split pretty clearly those of course opposed to military intervention in those really pushing for military intervention as soon as possible without any backing from the u.n. security council according to david cameron he very skeptically looks at the situation in trying to convince host clinton that the evidence they have it's enough to really support that the chemical attack was in fact launched by the also regime. leaders say that like i said well into the early morning of this final day of the g. twenty summit you could see it on their faces obviously sleep deprived some leaders not going to name names were late even to the first working session so this debate is actively going on but it looks like the g twenty summit is not going to be the place where this is resolved either the u.s. is going to go ahead without the support of many of its allies and colleagues here

at the g. twenty in terms of the countries it's almost easier to name first the countries that are really actively pushing for it obviously the united states president obama coming here hoping to gain more support it looks like that's not going to be. i want to apologize for interrupting that report marty's and it's in our way of the russian president vladimir putin now addressing the delegates here at the g. twenty let's listen in and see what he has to say. as a dem considered you know a national theatre we have managed to coordinate our efforts and consolidate them just it was the global economy give a. hoot. you can image. nor. we can really. play the most natural ability the little bit of a city we are up to given the stories that she still you know when you're also. in the work which i missed but if there were i should question the if you'd given the

way we're doing here but wish they would and that in. a chip in it at the. list which is about such ease i would invite i sees go but register so you have not put ideals above simply to me but only. i think. i would like to express my gratitude to my colleagues within the g twenty group for our productive work and i would also like to thank our outreach partners we have all. been discussing russia's initiatives and we have played a very important role in increasing the efficiency in transparency were coming to the gratian the results of russia's president have been laid out in three days a declaration of the g. twenty in the. two this is the end exist to this document we have managed to. get quite a few practical decisions with regard to the global economy and the russian economy

in particular we have managed to. plan on practically every track. by courage economic growth we are going to realize that we need to do the balance of supporting. economic growth with maintaining the international standards of fiscal responsibility in consolidation in their actions when their. criteria for each country in reducing their budget deficit in the republic as well as. reforming the global financial architecture if there are special provisions for. the human capital regulating financial capital markets and other measures of strengthening confidence to go to the global economy in the financial markets as well as encourage investors to invest in you know we see this as a given t.

as well as possible we spend a lot of time working here as it is grossly you're welcome press from grassy. so. there was more that was post thank you for the opportunity to ask your question mr putin in the republic of chechnya with your comprehensive support thanks to the efforts of our chechen president. a lot of villages have been restored after the devastation of the past but still there is an issue that there remains and that is restoring industrial production in chechnya and i would like to remind you that. production and has always been the backbone of our industries and we see the russian company helping them with the process of restoring that industry . in restoring. the industry and that was my first question my second question is going to read some way to after pick but don't you think your first question was

not of tough. economic. you know unemployment an economy that that's timely my second question is as you know the city of grozny. that the battle for the. second world war was the battle. to get there was because we provided there. and we also predicted. the soviet union in the rain we were hoping that the senior grozny would become a huge city would be the title of a hero along with other large cities of russia but this has not happened could you please support our city in being awarded with that title. i will start with your second question first of all the. separate from oppression during that war. many nations including the chechens have been shifted to greatly to the

victory of the soviet union in that were. among others forty valiantly in the ranks of army and their. documentary. evidence of that and just by their very. telling me they were doing brave in fighting for the country but as far as a year. for the city is for incident is concerned this is outside my competence as president but. address this question. in russia which include veterans of that war but it's a good thing that you that people care about such things and i would like to thank you for that as far as the construction of an enemy is concerned of course. to make this relevant for g twenty i can tell you that when we were discussing issues of energy trying to look as well you know this is a specific question we need to look at the economics. of course. is

it looking at a. region of the russian federation of course that means. revenue and i understand your desire probably said that we will get back to this issue and i will instruct the federal ministry of energy. and the ministry of regional policies to look at these issues but once again we need to look at the economics of this proposal thank you but. there in the back you're welcome. why did. mr putin i guess would not be in a with statement to say that the issue of syria was over she doing the whole deliberations here at the forum and while you have managed to arrive at some. common solutions. on economic issues and we have seen

a split of opinions on syria at this summit how far can these political disagreements in this period affect economic relations in the future and how do you see the prospects of us russian western relations in the future but you know everything that's going on the middle east. strongly because this is a region that's a very brings a. substantial share of resources to the global table and as soon as there is the turmoil or a crisis in the middle level you see. prices spring spike global and of course that holds back economic development of course it is difficult for the global global economy such as this destabilizing the middle east is counterproductive to say the least it was indeed yesterday we spent the entire evening discussing the issue of syria. all the related issues we spoke

a lot about it almost we only closed at about one and most of the time and then we had also a bilateral meeting with mr cameron until three am in the morning you said there was a. split a fifty fifty split on syria here before but that is not exactly so i can only say look i can say that. the united states. saudi arabia and france when people are a military operation against syria we also know that the british prime minister mr cameron was also a favorite what is the british parliament said no. you're to be. the general when you. chancellor has also been really reserved in germany is not going to undertake any military action in the meantime russia china india indonesia this is the largest. muslim nation africa argentina brazil south africa italy all these nation has been opposed to the notion of

a military operation even u.n. secretary general is also spoke against such a military operation with him and let's not forget the address of the people who said directly it would be unacceptable on every new war of the cities in this country. numerators the nation in favor of. military strikes but. public opinion surveys show that even in these countries there with the. population are. the idea of a new war in syria in europe in the united states up to sixty percent of the of the citizens are opposed to the to the notion of this war. and once again i can tell you that at the. same time the alleged use of chemical which weapons

in syria was a frame up staged by the insurgents who went against to provoke a foreign military operation that was the whole purpose of this of this frame up. by one second be able to like to remind you that. using military force against a sovereign nation is only allowed if it is self-defense which it is not what the united states and secondly there is a mandate of the u.n. security council to go after. as one of the principal of our discussions said yesterday those who actually has a different who would act differently would become outlaws themselves. so that's when you're. saying well then you get the. recession.

specially for the. people you know so much but then i got the five minutes on that gave you some kind of. the. journalists to go on these i think there is some kind of business agreements some differences on foreign policy between louis and russia and this is because you cannot have a proper relationship with the u.s. president with a like you used to have a very good relationship i'm sure whatever and now you don't have a good relationship with obama is it true what can you say. first of all you know we had a meeting with the u.s. . president earlier today. and we were not to be standing on our feet like you said we were sitting on the different part of our body it was a constructive substantive conversation and. it was now my brother was born my would say we all stayed where we were going we kept

our positions here each other we hear each other's arguments we don't agree with each other's arguments i don't agree with these arguments he doesn't agree with mine but we hear each other actually we have. agreed on one point there really is a possibility scenario for the peaceful resolution of this crisis so we have agreed that our foreign minister is foreign minister lavrov actually secretary of state kerry will soon contact each other and discuss this thorny issue the next question please but was going to pick up the mike please. you have just said that there is no i mean. no that's. your position it was a president barack obama has not become closer would you say that somebody else's position on syria has changed that list little maybe some other world leaders have

changed their position got i mean since you had a twenty to thirty minutes and the unity of communication between moscow and washington me about improving order for me to be as part of over this improvement edward snowden could be exchanged for some people they love. who have been going to be like anywhere else on a fearless russia has not been convicted how can we change we have a. worry in the challenge and i just officers. you see in an embarrassing situation and this practice exists with the world over the last node and has not been convicted here if there could be a crime something this is a separate subject that has nothing to do with this people and. not even in touch with you some of that in our conversation with president obama today that he only talked about syria we mentioned your subject and i would like to stress that mr

snowden. came to russia by accident but he could not be able. to go to let in america and he would have done so but for your with this guy that fellow countrymen i don't know what to say. like to go with you before but. everybody to such an extent that he was. there was nothing else left for him to do but they landed. if you're. sitting on people to be without a fight or just by closing their airspace and they could have done the same thing to the. edward snowden they wouldn't close their airspace and then you know what would happen know they had to tell you.
