broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is our thomas certainly glad to have you with us. now russia and the united states have hammered out an agreement to to eliminate syria's chemical weapons arsenal the deal removes the threat of imminent u.s. military action against syria sparked by reports of a sarin gas attack foreign minister sergey lavrov and secretary of state john kerry outlined a six point plan under which damascus would hand over its chemical stockpiles let's take a look 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 united nations with a complete list of it's not biased 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 for. free access to

the sites the ultimate main aim is the complete removal or elimination of all of syria's chemical weapons if any side in the congo flecked fails to comply well they un charter chapter seven could come into effect essentially allowing the use of force parties polly boycott has been following the negotiations for us press conference here in geneva kicked off 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 provide 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 a timeframe well the on site inspections have to be completed by november and when

he takes a limitation to syria's chemical weapons comes to take place in the past tom thank you. rishi to my mind we may come it out here love them chapter seven of the un security council could be applied 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. but only if you're we expect full compliance with the requirements the organization for the preservation of chemical weapons imposes and if they are not met it's that was somebody uses chemical weapons and if you're 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 report. actions will be taken with

a message glee will first have to verify if you such reports is not really sure because there are also fabrications along these surrounding this issue and we have to be very careful with speaking to journalists john kerry said i'm sure a lost cause and 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 us i'm gets interests regardless even want to. sleep on the same time that. the syrian army has refused to be checked to make me think that it doesn't run the syrian opposition because they too have any chemical weapons bought during the first run john kerry made a number precedented admission that syrian rebels could have access to chemical weapons as well another interesting point was made by sergey lavrov who said that the video with banki moon or city saying that posh are outside is guilty of crimes against

humanity but 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 they john kerry and sergey lavrov looked at least at a great deal 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 incentive they are new to the sensitivity regime even to. start looking at not just the hero gets him. but also a peaceful end to the civil war so it's now at least off to the tough days of talks here in geneva a military strike by the u.s. against syria has been a massive blow to him she completely. manual option writer a german journalist focusing on the syrian crisis so as america is about face towards a more diplomacy based solution was triggered by a lack of support for

a military strike. this is the sort of like a diplomatic roller coaster i think we've heard so many contradicting messages especially from the u.s. government with especially within the last two and a half weeks that somehow on the one side that it's surprising that they got an agreement with russia on the other side it's not simple surprising anymore because 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 from last week he did almost a u. turn. richard becker an anti-war activist thinks that the syrian opposition has rejected the disarmament agreement because they still want it western military intervention

to help them win the war i think that they want the agreement to fail they don't want the agreement at all and for the reason they cannot win they come out a chief 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 become a call 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 armed opposition forces that it favors. now r

t discuss the possible next steps for the u.s. in syria with former u.n. ambassador thomas pickering here is a preview of the full interview coming up later in the program it seems that american diplomats may starts with their relatively flexible position but they lose patience fairly quickly and almost invariably start that looting to the military option look i understand that there's a deep concern and i support this that 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 the aftermath of the iraq war. if i had

a choice between the last decade with 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. i think that it would be very hard. you can watch on a boy those worlds apart the full show starting on sunday here at r.t. . now thousands of syrians are fleeing the chaos of the country's civil war and are now flocking to europe many refugees have entered the e.u. legally after being formally flown or allowed to resettle by the un and their host

countries however many others are just trying to find a safe haven from the intense fighting any way they can artie's peter oliver in germany reports on the mixed feelings that are greeting 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 resettlement 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 nor can germany. 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 tackle 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 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 during station will be blown up we demand that our security

services stop them returning as more people flee their homes the refugee crisis is one that said to continue for a long time. reporting for us there now still ahead for you this hour on r.t.e. we look at why economic recovery remains a distant goal for the crisis hit euro zone plus. unprepared female travelers are being put off israel by the approaches of their find out what women don't want in the holy land after a short break. on the market is mother nature. may customers struggle with to. fight for each drop from the you dirty supply. let people think i hear prices purer water.

recovering from its economic crisis but some dark financial clouds remain above the euro zone greece may need billions more ireland wants a new credit line and portugal is fearful over bailout payment deadlines on top of that there is mounting concern about a proposed european banking union giving brussels the power to shut any bank on the continent artie's lucy craft off has details. 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 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 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 there are t. moscow. meanwhile up to one hundred thousand people have marched through the polish capital warsaw to voice their anger over low wages and unemployment the march marks the fourth day of protests with unions accusing the prime minister of ignoring them people are also frustrated at the sharp downturn in the economy that was witnessed over the course of the year employment in poland is just over thirteen percent and in other parts of europe it's even higher greece has seen a steady rise of jobless numbers in recent years while in spain over twenty six percent of people don't have work but it's the immediate election in germany which could decide how europe deals with its problems more smith reports. it could be make or break for the euro 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. 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. everyone who. sees that it's impossible to continue. radical change. really is a fundamental transition fundamental transformation some saying we in 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 that will have its will stand

up and say ok. the question is. started to really. come from brussels klaus envisages europe as the conglomerates of seoul for an independent nation and he's found common 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 you know lobbying is important intelligence briefings are important argumentations important but in the end the thing that changes politics is the way people vote but 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 has jumped on the bandwagon of skepticism just to win votes based klaus agree the time is ripe for a fundamental decision should the eurozone limp along propped up by holding or should there be a return to an economic rationale and do europe based on intergovernmental cooperation rather than integration of the european central bank is urging governments not to grow complacent over recent to signs of recovery pushing for more action and reforms and a political economy professor horst from the frankfurt school of finance believes caution is vital if the u. hopes to escape its financial blackhole. 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 votes 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 it to cyprus krises come back and also. swap over to other countries of euro area but as i said i mean we have also you did the election in germany and i'm pretty confident and said after this election more progress to calm also into a political arrangement to fix further on the euro crisis also in germany germany has also a lot of it wanted us from the you ruin our exports and so forth so i see still the public although. some problems in the mood of the popular bailout it also seems but it's of support here in germany online for you now on r t dot com is it a bird is it a plane no it's a drone. to see how the arms industry is creating

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 are responsible for the actions of individuals but that's just my opinion . the population of pakistan totals one hundred eighty million and it's still growing
