from around the globe. russia and the u.s. agree how to remove syria's chemical weapons giving it a week to provide a list and a month to start disarming but moscow says only the un security council can decide on punishment for not complying. western intervention prompted a mass exodus of syrians to the e.u. where those hiding from war the cynicism of the taxpayers funding their safe haven . to report in the light at the end of the tunnel for the crisis stricken euro zone but fresh bailouts missed deadlines and overwhelming debt suck it back into the financial quagmire.

live from our studio center here in moscow which just turned eleven pm this is r.t. 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 the 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 now 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 all of its stockpiles so-called extraordinary procedures under the chemical weapons convention could be used to destroy the arsenal meanwhile all sides including the rebel groups have been told that they will be responsible for

the safety of international inspectors and will have to provide free access to those sites. the ultimate aim is the complete removal or elimination of all syria's chemical weapons if any side in the conflict fails to comply with the proposed plan then the un charter chapter seven could then come into effect essentially allowing the use of force or naughty boy who has been following the negotiations in geneva press conference here in geneva kicked up rather unconventionally with sergey lavrov strolling in sitting in amongst the reporters chancing about the weather to them and leave waiting for john kerry to show up but after three days of tense negotiations a deal had been struck damascus has gone one week in which to find information on its chemical weapons stockpiles and there often they must allow unfettered 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 have to be completed by november and for any potential elimination of syria's chemical weapons comes to take place in the past month thank you. rishi to my. comment out here well then chapter seven of the un security council 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 after that. we expect full compliance with the requirements the organization for the prohibits sheen 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 verify and review such reports fairly because there are a lot of fabrications along these surrounding this issue and we have to be very careful speaking to journalists john kerry said how shallow floods willingness to comply with the agreement will 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 us president retains the right to defend the u.s. and its interests regardless even before he went on the same time. as you possibly check to make saying that it doesn't run the syrian opposition because they fear that any chemical weapons bought during the first month john kerry made

a number precedented admission that syrian rebels should have access to chemical weapons as well another interesting point was made by sergey lavrov who said that the video with banki moon the city saying that bash our us out is guilty of crimes against humanity that was in fact a video montage taken out of context and released right in the middle of these extremely tense negotiations cause and ultimately very john kerry and sergey lavrov let's leave that they were able to come up with a deal here in geneva they spoke of how well the u.s. and russia can work together when there is a real and said that they are new to the sixty eight regime even to. start looking at not just meetings here. but also a peaceful end to the civil war search now at least off to return days of talks here in geneva a military strike by the u.s. against syria has been a passive watching from geneva value for. money auction right here he's

a german journalist focusing on the syrian crisis believes the syrian government would let its goal del by giving up its chemical weapons. we shouldn't forget another thing what is 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 stockpiles in a term of yes it is like. the friends of 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 rebeca he's an antiwar activist with the international coalition i spoke to me to lead he says the syrian opposition rejected the disarmament plan because it puts military strikes off the table at least temporarily. i think that they want the agreement to fail they didn't want the agreement at all and for the reason they cannot win they cannot achieve victory without the intervention of the u.s. . and perhaps other other nato allies they do not have the capacity on their own to win and that's why they were so ardently hoping for military strikes

massive military strikes by the united states against the government forces and there have been many reports about the armed opposition in syria possessing chemical weapons clearly the objective of the united states is to weaken the government the government forces in syria which it is seeking to overthrow while at the same time seeking to strengthen and every way possible the forces an app of the opposition forces that it favors and l.t. 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 sunday. it seems that 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 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. but i think it would be very hard.

and you can watch us on a book as well departing full starting on sunday here in r.t. . the threat of the u.s. and its allies intervening with a wave of strikes forced syrians to flee and the 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. 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 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 being displaced syria's neighbors are overwhelmed by the deluge of those 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 would not have a deal our government opens up the door it's five thousand and fifty thousand and more and more of our cities like little quiz 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. because they 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 a train station would be blown up we demand that our security services stop then returning as more people flee their homes the refugee crisis is one that set to continue for a long time. here in moscow coming your way after the break we look at the turbulence in the european economy and other stories.

continues here in the recent figures suggest europe is slowly recovering from its economic crisis but some financial clouds remain above the eurozone greece may need billions more in bailout money to prevent collapse and the portuguese government is panicking i miss payment another concern is the consequences of a proposed european banking union giving brussels the power to shut any bank on the continent. has more. 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 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 had 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 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 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 those are t. moscow. well tens of thousands of union workers have stage a massive anti-government protest in poland's capital people there are angry over to see a sharp downturn in the economy there's been three days of protests with unions accusing the prime minister of ignoring them unemployment is thirteen percent and in other parts of europe it's even higher increase the jobless numbers it 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. reports. it could be make or break for the eurozone as the german election approaches europe's the region's still stuck in recession with outbreaks of social unrest and some believe the outcome of the

election could be a catalyst. i think speaking to klaus the former president of the czech republic capital markets conference here in london he compares the european project to communism and the time is now for the people of individual european countries to stand up and say the emperor has no clothes. on and. sees that it's impossible to continue. the fundamental transition fundamental transformation something we in over parts of europe in east central and eastern europe experienced two decades ago. to do the same and how likely is it do you think that this will stand. question is. started to.

come from brussels clouston visit to europe as a conglomerate for an independent nation and he called. ground with you kids nigel . we have got two hundred fifty one days until the european election that takes place across the whole of europe that is the opportunity politically to cause an earthquake lobbying is important intelligence briefings are important argumentation is important but in the end 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 from the most unlikely source close 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

if you keep the skepticism just to win votes both errors and klaus agree the time is right for a fundamental decision should the eurozone limp along propped up by folding or should there be a return to an economic rationale and to europe based on intergovernmental cooperation rather than integration. or smith the european central bank is urging governments not to grow complacent over recent signs of recovery pushing for more action and reforms and political economy professor horst shell from the frankfurt school of finance believes caution is vital if the e.u. hopes to escape its financial black hole. we have now the peak we reached a peak for example in unemployment and there are signs in the real economy but also in the political area for more progress to come in the future i'm not saying we're

out of the woods what i'm saying we are making progress also although the situation is still difficult also in cyprus as well and we have to avoid to cyprus krises come back and also. swap over to other countries of euro area but as i said i mean we have also had it election in germany and i'm pretty confident that after this election more progress to come also into the political arrangement to fix further on the euro crisis also in germany germany has also a lot of it wanted us from the euro in our exports and so forth saw i think still the public although. some problems in the mood of the public about the bailout and all the things but there is of support here in germany. on line for you from r t is it a bird is it the plane no it's a drone at the web site to see how the all moves industry is creating a new generation of unmanned aircraft that look like some feathered floods called
