it was a. rush on the u.s. agree how to remove syria's chemical weapons giving it a week to provide a list and a month to start dissolve them and but most go says only the u.n. security council can decide and punishment for not complying. also the via western intervention prompted a massive x. abyss of syrians to the e.u. those hiding from wharton made the cynicism of the talk spares funding their safe haven. in light of the end of the tunnel for the crisis stricken eurozone but fresh bailouts missed deadlines and overwhelming debts threaten to suck it back into the mine.
11:01 am
this is our t. coming to life from moscow hello and welcome to the problem. russia and the u.s. have agreed proposals to remove and destroy syria's chemical weapons arsenal it hoped it could also give some impetus to these stalled attempts to find a peaceful end to the vicious civil conflict 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 prohibition of chemical weapons syria will now have a week to provide the u.n. with a complete list of its chemical weapons stockpiles so-called extraordinary procedures and of 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 to provide free access to the sites the ultimate aim is the complete removal or elimination of
11:02 am
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 or he's probably boyko has been following the negotiations in geneva. well 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 through or john kerry 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 they're off there they have to provide access to chemical weapons inspectors from the organization for prevention of chemical weapons they have to provide unfettered access to them
11:03 am
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 place we can take a listen to john kerry and sergey lavrov talking about that in a little bit more detail right now. for anything less than full compliance by the regime in the event of noncompliance we have committed to impose measures under chapter seven within the security council. we expect full compliance with the requirements the organization for the process of chemical weapons imposes and if they are not
11:04 am
somebody uses chemical weapons the un security council will take measures in accordance with chapter seven of the un charter. does not mean that every time a violation is reported actions will be taken automatically 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 these very tense negotiations over banking moving reportedly saying that bashar
11:05 am
assad is guilty of crimes against humanity but that was a video montage and that was taken out of context but both john kerry and sergey lavrov very clearly extremely pleased that these they haven't managed to set aside their differences strike a deal here they both spoke of how well the u.s. and russia can work together when there is a political will 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 border route for peace for syria so a collective sigh. i've really fair in geneva that for the moment that a u.s. strike against syria has been invited. and manja oxon right a german journalist at focusing on the syrian crisis believes this syrian government would let its guards down by giving up its chemical weapons we shouldn't forget another thing what this very important tool this is the meaning of chemical
11:06 am
weapons for syria for the syrian state and also for the syrian people so we talk about these chemical weapon stockpiles in a term of yes it is like. the weapon off aggression but for the syrians on for the syrian government the chemical stockpile is a sort of. protective more 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 the john kerry it means very clearly that he left his position and from last week he did

almost a u. turn and this kind of the possible next step for the u.s. in syria with former u.n. ambassador thomas rave pickering and here's a preview of the full intent coming up on sunday. it seems that american diplomats may start with a relatively flexible position but they lose patience fairly quickly and almost invariably start the looting to the military option look i understand that 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 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
11:08 am
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. by secluded would be very hard. and you can watch us on a voyage as well as upon a full starting on sunday he will not see. the threats of the u.s. and its allies intervening with the way well as strikes forced syrians to flee in their thousands europe's learned that firsthand in the last twenty four hours alone several boats carrying more than eight hundred refugees were saved from sinking in

the mediterranean and brought to shore on a very interim reports now on the mixed feelings at the new arrivals. here in europe we may be far away for. in the fighting in syria however the effects of violence are being seen in the form of tens of thousands of refugees flocking here to seek asylum just this last week the first of five thousand refugees arrived here in germany as part of a settlement program however there are those within europe that say that the governments must pay some responsibility for these people having to flee the problem is the e.u. governments continue to support the rebels including the german intelligence and covertly and other ways i think it's completely cynical of germany to pretend to be this humanitarian receptor of five thousand refugees at the same time they're poor in a let's stop the reason that people are leaving their homes they don't leave it willingly
11:10 am
with over two million people already having been displaced syria's neighbors are overwhelmed by the deluge of things 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 will continue with the video our government opens up the door it's five thousand and fifty thousand and more and more of our cities like liberals 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 live here amongst us like taken time on it's just a matter of time before during station will be blown up we demand that our security services stop then returning as more people flee their homes the refugee crisis is

this account from a small. these days may be calmer for europe be able to june period saw the eurozone come out of recession after the longest period of economic misery since records began back in one thousand nine hundred five but the crisis is far from over and the cost in millions of lost jobs and economic stress remains a major concern economic recovery is at best fragile now output from the euro zone's factories had fallen by a much more than expected in july unemployment remains a dramatic levels and some of the southern countries what's more a number of members and nations still are struggling to balance their finances raising fears that more bailouts will be needed in the future now while more loans have been ruled out for the moment bailouts were still very much at the top of the agenda at the recent meeting of euro zone ministers let's take a closer look at where the actual concerns lie today bailed out twice and still not
11:14 am
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 world level 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 a backstop to give confidence to investors moving on to portugal that country faces
11:15 am
a bumpy ride the country was set to end its bailout program in the middle of next year but that was before parts of the rescue were actually ruled illegal now officials in lisbon must scramble to find other ways of balancing the books. and now new worries with slovenia falling from economic grace billions of euros in bad loans make the country a candidate for euro zone bailout number five now that country has been in recession since last year and it's been scrambling to fix its banking center for now euro zone finance ministers insist that slovenia will need a bailout but the country has a long haul ahead before it's in the clear so when it comes to improvements in the eurozone economy better hold off on the champagne at least for now. moscow. tens of thousands of union workers have staged a massive anti-government protest in poland's capital people they're angry over this year's shop downtown and they call me the has been three days of protests with

european election takes place across the whole of europe that is the opportunity politically to cause an earthquake you know lobbying is important intelligence briefings are important argumentation is important to me and the thing that changes politics is the way people vote and i think these european elections are a major opportunity right across the continent of europe to spark something that leads to referendums that leads to real change. and found recognition for most unlikely source is a man well barroso the european commission president says you kip could become the primary force in british politics implying david cameron's jumped on the bandwagon of ukip skepticism just to win votes based klaus agree the time is right for a fundamental decision should the eurozone limp along propped up by scaffolding or should there be a return to an economic rationale and do europe based on intergovernmental

or at least be more forgiving don't think that it's necessarily there far think being forced to be in the army at the age of eighteen makes a very different lifestyle for them as opposed to marriage in eighteen year olds honestly it's just kind of about treating them like anyone else and i mean i guess we can be aggressive but if you're just top yourself that's fine part of the fun of traveling is finding it out for oneself which is why flexing biceps on telegrams beaches and the mere naked suntan bodies a few cheap pick up lines and an aggressive attitude can seem a small price to pay for a golden summer holiday. party tell of. some other news in brief please have stormed mexico city's central square clashing with teachers outraged a new education those protesters had camped out for more than two weeks to mountain vegetation which sees unions lose control over the hiring and firing of staff be revoked authorities used tear gas and water cannons to disperse the demonstrators

scottish team celtic this ritual was sacrificing a sheep at the stadium and someone who lives in kazakhstan for two years i know there's a real meat eating country with deeply rooted traditions in livestock racing so this news is unusual but maybe it's not completely bizarre for the culture of course defenders of animal rights who don't seem to realize that the sheep would be turned into people of the next few days anyways demanded that you a full officials punish the shock to a club for the actions of individual fans this is the same logic as if someone wearing a sexy tim kirby t. shirt went around robbing liquor stores i am not responsible for the actions of people like this program and it's not like i'd ever advocate robbing liquor stores and i doubt the shocked your management secretly arranged for fans to slaughter the sheep at the stadium when the slaughter of animals is acceptable to you or not well that's one thing but we don't need to regulate the morality of individuals in other countries via soccer especially if that regulation means punishing the football clubs who aren't responsible for the actions of individuals but that's just my
