life from austria center here in moscow where it's just a nine pm this is with international news and comment. russia and the u.s. have agreed on proposals to remove and destroy syria's chemical weapons arsenal it's hoped it could also give some impetus to these stalled attempts to find a peaceful end to the vicious civil conflict foreign minister sergei lavrov in secular state john kerry outlined a six point plan under which damascus would hand over its chemical stockpiles now the old line 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 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 the international inspectors and will have to provide free access to these sites where the ultimate aim is the complete removal or elimination of all syria's
1:02 pm
chemical weapons if any side in the conflict fails to comply with the proposed plan the u.n. charter chapter seven could then come into effect essentially allowing the use of force. has been following the negotiations press conference here in geneva kicked off rather unconventionally with sergey lavrov struggling in sitting in amongst the reporters chatting about the letter to them and leave waiting for john kerry to show up but after three days tense negotiations a deal had been struck damascus has gone one week in which to provide information on its chemical weapons stockpiles and thereafter they must allow on that access to weapons inspectors from the organization for the prevention of chemical weapons now in terms of the time frame well the on site inspections to be completed by november if i need to reach a limitation syria's chemical weapons take place in the past i think. we should
1:03 pm
leave it to my. mom and out of them to step into the u.n. sick. to chancel could be applied and we can take a listen to both john kerry and sergey lavrov speaking about that in a little more detail now there can 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 for the export of the pony here we expect full compliance with the requirements the organization for the prohibited of chemical weapons imposes and if they are not met or somebody uses chemical weapons the u.n. security council will take measures in accordance with chapter seven of the u.n. charter of course this does not mean that every time a violation is reported actions will be taken automatically will first have to
1:04 pm
verify and review such reports directly because there are a lot of fabrications along these surrounding this issue and we have to be very careful before speaking to journalists john kerry said functional of the willingness to comply with the agreement would be put to the test quickly and if he fails well then the threat of force could be back on the table and that the u.s. president retains the right to defend the u.s. and its interests regardless even before he went on the same time that. syrian army tells you is if you check to make things even tougher than the syrian opposition because they need to get any chemical weapons by sharing the facts when john kerry made them precedented mission that syrian rebels would have access to chemical weapons as well another interesting point was made by sergey lavrov who said that the video of banking moving more should be saying that bashar al assad is
1:05 pm
guilty of crimes against humanity but that was in fact a video montage taken out of context and released by. in the middle of the we need time to get heat rising on too many days john kerry and sergey lavrov to leave that great great will to come up with a deal here in geneva a state how well the u.s. and russia can work together when everything needs to real and said. regime. and not to. put a peaceful end to the civil war taking now at least up to three times david told hearing he need not a military strike by the new laugh again fairy and have an ambassador routine. but you bring. in the new oxen right he's a german journalist focusing on the syrian crisis he believes the syrian government would let its goal of bound by giving up its chemical weapons we shouldn't forget
1:06 pm
another thing what's very important to 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 stockpile it in a term of yes it is like an offense to weapon off aggression but for the syrian it's own for the syrian government the chemical stockpile is a sort of. protective arm or which shall protect the independence and the silver in the teeth of syria so they will feel this armed 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 protest to. 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
1:07 pm
kerry it means very clearly that he left his position and from last week he did almost a u. turn. well to discuss the possible next steps for the u.s. and syria with former u.n. ambassador thomas pickering is a preview of the full interview coming up on sunday. that american diplomats may start with their 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 relationships 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 be aftermath of the iraq war. if i had a choice between the last decade with out our invasion of iraq and saddam. and 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. but i think it would be very hard. and you can watch us on a boat because worlds apart in full starting on sunday here on our team. the threat of the u.s. and its allies intervening with a wave of airstrikes for syrians to flee in their thousands europe's learned that
1:09 pm
firsthand in the last twenty four hours alone several boats carrying more than eight hundred refugees was saved from sinking in the mediterranean and brought to shore all these people live in germany reports on the mixed feelings at the new arrivals. here in europe we may be far away from 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 new settlement program however there are those within europe that say that the e.u. governments must bear 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
1:10 pm
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 will continue with our government opens up the door it's five thousand and fifty thousand and more and more of our cities like liver can and can't 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. he goes to get fired we are worried that those germans that went there to fight assad will come back here trained in terror and live here amongst us and taken time on it's just a matter of time before a train station will be blown up we demand in our security services stop them
1:11 pm

a proposed european banking union giving brussels the any bank on the continent. has more. these days may be calmer for europe the april 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
1:14 pm
a closer look at where the actual concerns live 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. was bailed out earlier this year for some ten billion euros but new data shows that its economy is shrinking to the worse 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 living on to portugal that country faces
1:15 pm
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 while 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 there are t. moscow will tens of thousands of union workers have staged a massive anti-government protest in poland's capital people there angry over this downturn in the economy every three days
1:16 pm
a protest with unions accusing the prime minister of ignoring them unemployment in poland is that thirteen percent and you know the pulse of europe is even higher in greece the jobless numbers are got steadily worse for two and a half years and in spain over twenty six percent of people don't have work but it's the imminent election in germany which could decide how europe deals with its problems as all of these smith reports. it could be make or break for the euro zone as the german election approaches europe's a region still stuck in recession with outbreaks of social unrest and some believe the outcome of the election could be a catalyst for change i think speaking to vats of klaus the former president of the czech republic capital markets conference here in london he compares the european project to communism and says the time is now for the people of individual european countries to stand up and say the emperor has no clothes pricing everyone who.

1:18 pm
know lobbying is important intelligence briefings are important argumentations important but in the end the thing that changes politics is the way people vote 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 farage has found recognition from a most unlikely source a man well barroso the european commission president says you kid could become the primary force in british politics implying david cameron's jumped on the bandwagon if you keep the skepticism just to win. both klaus agree the time is right for a fundamental decision should the eurozone limp along propped up by folding or should that be a return to an economic rationale and to europe based on intergovernmental cooperation rather than integration grossmith the european central bank is urging

1:27 pm
of offending people then why not just give everyone a random plate with a random number and no one will be offended at all or two if you really believe in freedom of speech and expression all that then allow drivers to pick whatever they want and be responsible for themselves if someone throws a brick through their car window for having an ultra offensive license plate and if you want to express yourself or express something really offensive on your car then you better be prepared for some blowback or at least a few people spitting on your windshield but the surest my opinion.
