soldiers from around the globe. look to. russia on the u.s. agree how to remove serious chemical weapons giving it a week to provide a list and demands to stop dissolving at mosco says only the un security council can decide on punishment for not complying. the fear of a western intervention promised prompted a mass exodus of syrians to the east but those hiding from war made this cynicism all the time spares funding that safe haven. and light at the end of the tunnel for the crisis stricken the euro zone but french bailouts missed deadlines and overwhelming debts sarette into its second bond into the financial quagmire.
9:01 am
international news live from moscow this is us here with me thanks for joining us. russia and the u. wants have agreed proposals to remove and destroy syria's chemical weapons arsenal it's hoped it could also give some impulses to the stalled attempts to find a peaceful end to the vicious civil conflict that foreign minister sergey lavrov and secretary of state john kerry outlined a six point plan under which damascus would hand over its chemical stockpiles the outline will first have to be approved by the organization for the chemical weapons syria will now have a week to provide the yuan with a complete list of its chemical weapons stockpiles so-called extraordinary procedures under the chemical weapons convention could be used to destroy the arsenal meanwhile all sides including rebel groups have been told they will be responsible for the safety of international inspectors on the ground and will have
9:02 am
to provide free access to the science that also has a ways to go the complete removal of elimination of all syria's chemical weapons if any side in the conflict fails to comply with the proposed plan the u.n. charter chapter seven could come into effect essentially allowing the use of force . has been following the negotiations or the press conference kicked off rather unconventionally here in geneva with sergei lavrov strolling into the conference room sitting amidst the reporters talking about the weather clearly waiting for john kerry to turn up who was reportedly on the phone to washington at the time but nevertheless after three days of tense negotiations a deal has finally been struck we know that damascus has got one week within which to provide information on all of its chemical weapons facilities there after they have to provide access to chemical weapons inspectors from the organization for
9:03 am
prevention of chemical weapons they have to provide unfettered access to them to all these chemical weapons facilities now in terms of a timeframe we know that the initial on site inspections must be completed by november and finally. the complete elimination of chemical weapons in syria has to be completed by the first half of twenty fourteen but crucially if syria fails to comply with any part of the deal that has been hammered out here in geneva well then chapter seven of the u.n. security council would be a play we can take a listen to john kerry and sergey lavrov talking about that in a little bit more detail right now there could be no games no room for avoidance or anything less than full compliance by the regime in the event of noncompliance we have committed to impose measures under chapter seven within the u.n. security council. we expect full compliance with the requirements
9:04 am
the organization for this process of chemical weapons imposes and if they are not somebody uses chemical weapons the u.n. security council will take measures in accordance with chapter seven of the u.n. charter. does not mean that every time a violation is reported actions will be taken to massively will first have to verify such reports because there are a lot of fabrications along these surrounding this issue and we have to be very careful in terms of reaction we've already heard from the syrian opposition that they reportedly have rejected this deal that has been struck in geneva and during the questions john kerry also made an interesting admission that the syrian opposition could have also got their hands on chemical weapons that's an unprecedented statement from the u.s. side now another point that sergey lavrov made a little bit earlier was that the video that came out yesterday in the middle of
9:05 am
these very tense negotiations over banking moving reportedly saying that bashar al assad is guilty of crimes against humanity well that was a video montage and that was taken out of context but by. john kerry and sergey lavrov very clearly extremely pleased that these they have been managed to set aside their differences strike a deal had they both spoke of how well the u.s. and russia can work together when there is a political well they said that they look forward to organizing asian iva to conference in october and not just working on eliminating syria's chemical weapons but also working towards a broader route for peace for syria so a collective sigh of relief here in geneva that for the moment that a u.s. strike against syria has been invited. and oxen trying to write a german john and it's to focusing on this syrian crisis believes the syrian government would let it down by giving up its chemical weapons. we shouldn't forget
9:06 am
another thing what this very important tool this is the meaning of chemical weapons for syria for the syrian state and also for the syrian people so we talk about these chemical weapons stockpiles in the term of yes it is like. the weapon off aggression but for the syrians for the syrian government the chemical stockpile is a sort of. protective armor which shall protect the independence and the silver in the t of syria so they will feel this and it's very very heart discussed within the syrian society if this is a good step and what if there is any compensation for losing this protective armor the u.s. government lost a lot of credibility and not just in the vote even among their own citizens even among the u.s. americans so they had to agree and if you see the message from today from john
9:07 am
kerry it means very clearly that he left his position and from last week he did almost a u. turn. and dominic double pan has served as france's foreign interior and prime minister says moskos efforts to prevent the use of falls have been a game changer. main factor is the willingness of russia to take responsibility and russia taking the lead russia making some proposal this is really changing the whole figure of the whole fiona me of the of the situation in the last thirteen years the use of force did not gave any result in the international scene we've seen it in afghanistan we've seen it in iraq we've seen it in libya so we know that the solution for syria is not force. and we know also that there is a way to escape from force from the use of an attack and this way out is to have
9:08 am
some results on the ground some diplomatic results in order to find better solutions for the syrian problem for that we have. the league the national legality we have the international criminal court so the answer to punish is never to use force their answer to punish is to go through justice that's the real issue but the main problem today again is to try to protect the syrian people and for that the force is not going to give us any force will mean more people dying on the ground i mean new escalation we should not forget that not only we have a civil war in syria but we have a big fight between sunnis and shias and so the problem is not at the level of the use of force and we have seen in iraq that force. only created more problems we have one hundred thousand people dying every month in iraq so i don't think
9:09 am
forces and their answer is to use diplomacy to have steps going forward and that will eliminate the risk of force if we can have peace again. and also you discuss the possible next steps with the u.s. and see where with former u.n. ambassador thomas pickering and here's a preview of the full into coming up for you on sunday. if american diplomats may start with a relatively flexible position but they lose patience fairly quickly and almost invariably start that looting to the military option look i understand there's a deep concern and i support this changing political relationship through the use of military force doesn't work very well it didn't work for me well in the cold war it is not work very well in the post cold war period and i am very concerned that a fascination in my country over the last ten years on the use of military force
9:10 am
has undermined diplomacy i would like to play something that you personally have to say in the aftermath of the iraq war. if i had a choice between the last decade with our invasion of iraq and saddam. the alternative i think it's probably a close run thing but i could live with saddam thank you very much do you think america could leave. i think that it would be very hard. and you can roll chunks on a boy because walls of positive full starting on sunday here on icy. this rise of

this humanitarian receptor of five thousand refugees at the same time they're poor in aid let's stop the the reason that people are leaving their homes they don't leave it willingly with over two million people already having been displaced syria's neighbors are overwhelmed by the deluge of days fleeing for their lives that means that they seeking sanctuary having to look further afield towards countries in the balkans that can ill afford to have thousands of refugees turning up according to some politicians here milk in germany winds of a deal our government opens up the door it's five thousand and fifty thousand and more and more of our cities like liver cause and can finance that we are broke it's not germany's responsibility to solve the problems of the arab world with our taxes and there's also concern that allowing these people access to europe could see the syria crisis being imported here is the goal to get by we are worried that those germans that went there to fight assad will come back here trained in terror and

a closer look at where the actual concerns lie today bailed out twice and still not in the clear greece is likely to need another ten billion euros just in order to bolster its finances but elections in germany mean that help isn't likely to come anytime soon voters in the blocks most powerful economy have grown tired of taxpayer funded rescues and problems in greece spell trouble for cyprus the two countries are intricately linked by history as well as common economic grounds cyprus was bailed out earlier this year for some ten billion euros but new data shows that its economy is shrinking to the worse levels since the one nine hundred seventy s. raising the possibility that if greece does ask for more cash cyprus may not be far behind and asking for help now ireland may be exiting the bailout program at the end of the year but the country is also in line for euro zone aid now its finance minister has suggested a credit line of ten billion euros this is to serve as what he calls
