russia and the united states reach a deal on dismantling syria's chemical arsenal of verging a possible strike on damascus at least for the time being. the brutality of syria's civil war forces thousands to flee to the european union only to be met by taxpayers who is footing the bill for their safe haven. just as the euro zone shows the first signs of a long awaited recovery overwhelming debt. repayment deadlines to force the blog back into crisis.

and broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our sean thomas glad to have with us now russia and america have hammered out an agreement to eliminate syria's chemical weapons arsenal the deal removes the threat of imminent u.s. military action against the assad regime sparked by reports of a 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 at that plan the outline will first have to be approved by the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons syria will now have to a week to provide the u.n. with a complete list of its stockpiles and there will be so-called extraordinary procedures under the chemical weapons convention and that could be used to destroy the arsenal meanwhile all sides including rebel groups have been told that they will be responsible for the safety of international inspectors on the ground and will have to provide free access to the sites now. the ultimate aim is to complete removal or

elimination of all syria's chemical weapons if any side in the conflict fails to comply with the proposed plan according to un charter chapter seven it could come into effect essentially allowing the use of force or to use polar boyko 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 reforms just chatting about the weather to them and clearly waiting for john kerry to show up but after three days of tense negotiations a deal has been struck damascus has gotten 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 a 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 tom thank you steve we shipped it to my mind the female summit out here love them chapter seven of the u.n. 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 or that's all over but only if you're we expect full compliance with the requirements the organization for the prohibits sheen of chemical weapons imposes and if they are not meant for somebody uses chemical weapons again if your 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 with a message glee will first have to verify and review such reports is not really sure

because there are a lot of fabrications along these surrounding this issue and we have to be very careful sort of speaking to journalists john kerry said from shallow frogs a willingness to comply with the agreement will be put to the test making and if he fails. 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 to its interests regardless even before he brings down the state's line that commands out the syrian army has reduced the check to fifty major saying that it doesn't run the syrian opposition because they need to test any chemical weapons shots cheering the first friends john kerry made and on precedented admission that syrian rebels could come back sexed chemical weapons as well another interesting point was made by sergey lavrov who said that the video of the bank he moved most of the saying that posh are asada

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 boss and ultimately john kerry and sergey lavrov not least at a great deal to come up with a deal here in geneva that they spoke of how well the u.s. and russia can work together when there is a little bill and said that they are you can see sixty days we should leave it to. start looking at not just the serial chemical weapons but lou so 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 passed it would seem from geneva completely. manual option writer a german journalist focusing on the syrian crisis says america's about face towards a more diplomat diplomacy based solution was triggered by a lack of support for

a military strike. this is sort of like a diplomatic roller coaster i think we 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 it is 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 a 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 of 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 armed opposition forces that it favors. r.t.

discussed of the possible next steps of for the u.s. in syria with former u.n. ambassador thomas pickering is a preview of the full interview coming up later on in the program it seems that american diplomats may starts with a 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 and be 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. and you can watch us on a boy goes at worlds apart in full starting on sunday right here on our t.v. . 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 allowed to resettle by the un and of their host countries however many others are just trying to find

a safe haven from the intense fighting in any way they can artie's peter oliver is in germany and 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 there is fleeting 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 little cause and can't find us 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 when they are to fight assad will come back here trained in terror and live here amongst us taken time article which is just a matter of time before during station will be blown up we demand that our security services start then return to what would as more people flee their homes the

and welcome back you're watching r t recent figures suggest europe is slowly 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 a 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 has details. 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 have 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 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 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 won't 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. well 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 past year unemployment in poland is stuck at 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 imminent election in germany which could decide how europe deals with its problems as artie's 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've been speaking to 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. on who. sees that it's impossible to continue. ready for change. the fundamental transition fundamental transformation some seeing in parts of europe in east central and eastern europe experienced two decades ago. and to do the same and how likely is it do you think that this will sound. 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 the u.k.'s 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 but i think these european elections are a major opportunity right across the continent of europe to spark something that leads to referendums and that leads to real change. and found recognition for the most unlikely source is

a man well borrow say the european commission president says u.k. could become the primary force in british politics implying david cameron's jumped on the bandwagon if you can't hear a skepticism just to win votes based 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 do europe based on intergovernmental cooperation rather than integration. reporting for us there now 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 from the frankfurt school of finance believes caution is a vital if the e.u. hopes to escape its financial blackhole. we have now the peak we reached a peak for example in unemployment and the signs in the real economy but also in

the political area for more progress to come into future i'm not saying we are 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 it to cyprus krises come back and also. swap over to other countries of the 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 com 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 euro in our exports and so forth so i think it's still to properly although days. and some problems in the mood of the popular bailout it also seems by the use of support here in germany online for you from our team is that a bird is a plane oh well no it's

a one as the eye was deemed to be just too offensive after some pressure the new jersey motor vehicles commission caved and allowed the plate this is only logical because a properly spelled atheist point had already been in use i look at this two ways one if you're going to give people the freedom of choice of expression then some people are going to express themselves in an offensive way so if you're terrified 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 to 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 your so for 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 passionist my opinion.
