10:01 am
international news live from moscow this is r.t. with me you know thanks for joining us. and good merkel has won germany's top job for the third time in a row but this seeming triumph for the chancellor is political cause has come at a price the conservative blog the question democrats to forty one point five percent of the vote and that's not enough for merkel's party to a war on their own as their main rivals those social democrats led by a pierce time berg came in with twenty five point seven percent of all of our breaks down the ballot for. well it was a resounding result for anglo merkel however now the big question is just what kind of government will she preside over she's going to have to enter into a coalition won't be the coalition she particularly wanted she would have wanted to
10:02 am
deal with the free democrats who were partners going into this election but the free democrats didn't even get enough votes to get them one seat in the parliament so she's going to have some tough coalition negotiations on her hands moving away from angola merkel and looking at the election as a whole what we have seen here in germany as a shift in voter opinion away from liberal politics towards euro skeptic politics the alternative for germany party b j f t were only founded seven months ago the euro skeptics didn't get past the five percent mark to get them into the stagg but they have certainly announced their arrival on the german political stage now as i said the euro skeptic they're anti euro they believe that the u.s. being kept alive artificially and they want to see failing countries like greece not be allowed to be part of the monetary union. now they took votes from just
10:03 am
about everybody as well as protest votes people are unhappy with the current status quo in germany their leader saying that although they didn't get into the parliament they put fear into the hearts of the other parties and that they made democracy in germany all the richer what we achieved in this election for a new party a party which built up everything from scratch just a couple of months ago is a very strong result so we will just continue what we have started so it's angela merkel who's going to be german chancellor for a third term that will make her the longest serving female political leader in europe but some of those europeans are wondering what exactly she'll have in store for them. four more years until a merkel's election when see comparisons deal with another three term female leader on marcus' order to not forego merkel is a follower of margaret thatcher this is that true as one two point zero. and one
10:04 am
similarity policies between the two is they both pushed privatization although when mrs merkel's case that's not been as home but in cash strapped eurozone states. we have this obvious privatization agenda that is an essential feature of european politics it's not people and social needs that get addressed but business angela merkel supported the decision by portugal to sell off some of its publicly owned companies it's not clear sometimes whether what he is proposing for other countries she will do it itself in germany it's natural that some countries would question whether the call for privatization of countries is a way to open a. room for german companies are many countries angle and merkel has convinced the german people that she's the right person for the job but across europe people are wondering what four more years of her leadership will mean for them. good people is
10:05 am
going to be negative that's logical she's the symbol of the recession in europe. this year was. actually nothing will change whereas when we get more jobs and people have work then we can have growth i don't expect anything from the germans. critics accused of pushing europe in the wrong direction merkel must stop merkel must be stopped as well as those wholly represent the interests of international finance markets just like under satcher parts of northern england were devastated we see the same in greece today it leads to years and employment and poor living conditions. whether she's the new lady not six before more years of the merkel. as the world's most powerful woman these are all of the. meanwhile there's general elections already been dubbed a public
10:06 am
a knowledge meant of merkel's many compliments and she has managed to stay germany through the economic crisis while many european leaders have failed at the same time she became a figure or hate in debt ridden e.u. countries pressing them to pay a tough price for bailouts in terms of global politics angela merkel has been playing it lowkey staying away from military operations but she opposed the intervention in libya back in twenty eleven and has ruled out a strike on syria professor of political science at the free university of berlin hans dieter kling a man of feels the support the u.s. kept texeira gained in this election doesn't overshadow angle markel success there will always be dissatisfaction on the fringes there are winners and losers but if you look at the size of the groups the winners of america's economic policies
10:07 am
out number the loses by a highly high proportion and if that economic development continues that has pulled us out of the crisis of two thousand and eight after the lehman brothers bank broke down if that continues then her support will become even bigger and the euro skeptics i think have no chance in this scenario. series actually cooperation with the world's chemical weapons watchdog in accordance with an international deal to relinquish its toxic stockpiles but the members of the un security council are having trouble agreeing on a resolution to support the design meant process russia says it's being blackmailed by the u. us and its allies and she's going there to chicken explains. the u.s. says they will stop the work toward securing syria's chemical weapons if russia does not sign off on e.u. one security council resolution based on chapter seven that would allow use of
10:08 am
force so you are upset this is not something that he and u.s. secretary of state john kerry agreed on in geneva the russian foreign minister said instead of using this agreement brokered by russia to get rid of syria's chemical weapons the u.s. is now trying to achieve other goals take a listen this is. american partners are starting to blackmail us they see if russia does not agree to a chip the seven resolution in the u.n. to see who will stop working with the chemical watchdog in the hague this completely counters what we agreed on was john kerry namely the chemical which dogs decision and then a supporters aleutian from the u.n. to see without chapter seven. to do so your lover of also talked about the conflicting interpretations of the u.n. investigators work toward the report gave a description of substances and shells that the u.n. experts saw on the ground in syria but no indication of who used the chemicals in august twenty first attack near damascus russia says it's looking at the evidence
10:09 am
that rebels have use sarin gas there is a report by israeli experts saying the rebels took control over the areas with chemical weapons facilities at least twice and they may have gotten hold of it it is also known that members job but almost attempted to smuggle containers with sarin gas via turkey so russia is not at all convinced that the assad government used those weapons but whatever classified evidence the u.s. says it has it has not presented it to the u.n. security council expecting international community to take washington's word for it the russian foreign minister said the u.s. has a hard time coming to terms with the fact that decisions on global security have to be taken together take a listen. to the mortons a blinded by an ideological goals don't remove the assad regime you want to show the big can call the shots in the mean. i'm mostly concerned with proving their own supremacy because it's not the task that we're driven by which is to solve the
10:10 am
syrian chemical weapons problem. so your lover upset only extremists will benefit from such a blind approach as he called it he talked about the chaos in iraq in libya and the walk and referring primarily to the us he said they simply choose not to talk about how a chain of their actions led to a catastrophe in the region. and let's now cross live to brussels for reaction from middle east expert and former diplomat has sohn mr hazen welcome to ask so when i was see where has already started cooperating with the world's chemical weapons watchdog and how important at this particular stage a u.n. security council resolution here. well. the project of the forces who want to. make change in syria and they have failed miserably on the ground because it is. have been defeated and
10:11 am
then they have invented the most destruction weapon exactly because they did in iraq and in fact this is the same but the groups who have there were supporting. them to send them to syria who have used to do now. on the ground and they're put been defeated and the underground are defeated now they want to resist the hundred and another part of the north of syria in order to remain in the so-called. around the table discussion this according to council it will be very important that it is members of this are good at a concert to listen to the. president until now there is no evidence was presented for them to you know to destroy it and it is part of the nuts and. fact what they are doing because that is a tactic to prolong and not to to do it not only with the destruction of the weapon
10:12 am
which you have accepted but also to put the date of the geneva two they know that even if they go to geneva two that the so-called attorneys have been totally defeated and to have a. new project for the country. that is where he is now without a moon orbiting around and kicking that under bush but russia has vowed to oppose a un resolution that says going to threaten sea where with force from your point of view how's the u.s. likely to react. when one has to see that it is not only the u.s. policy but also france that is here the contradiction you know to deceive. its own agenda. and try to maneuver in which as you know and everybody knows do seem to list to diplomacy to remain what they have lost on the ground france have lost or i just it's is it because it's a had a very big interest particularly in the industry top talent or if it's by being
10:13 am
a political and force and supporting the terrorists in syria they have lost confidence in the first birth of the syrian people and the syrian government so now run one they want to show their muscles in order to come back and they want to face saving but in. what is out of the side today out of pushing it did a major objective is to delay geneva two because they know that in geneva two the government of syria will be the rino talking about the corporation with big chemical weapons watchdog at the syrian president says that rebel groups may hinder access to some of the country's chemical sites how credible is that from your point . the rebel group of they have been also used to. this chemical weapon and the chemical weapons. and be produced even in a primitive situation the forces who are supporting these rebels their cunt the through their intelligence service to come provided them to issue it is not that
10:14 am
but it is syria have agreed in principle after we discussed the early was russia they are willing to destroy the. or learn a strategic weapon because it is to put the balance of forces the other countries in the region particularly it's a vein of another weapon. when it is not the military weapon it's just understood that you go from. there to look serve to destroy. the bill of good and forces that have to stop agreeing to group discussion to the geneva. discussion the right view it is the political the right to life or brothel it was made sex that sorry it was live from brussels that it was a middle east expert and diplomat former diplomat son i missed him hassan thank you very much indeed we appreciate it. the violent hostage crisis the upscale

10:18 am
to harm the state but the real victims are ordinary regular people what small experience has shown that there's a huge wedge between what ordinary people experience under sanctions and what the eat to mohamed we heidi is one such case study he's a cancer victim in iran therapy program previously each session cost approximately three hundred dollars these days it costs about seven hundred dollars it is also a challenge to get the medication because you have to go to almost every drugstore asking for them and also because the prices are way too high i get a camel session once every two weeks and i am a pensioner doctors also frustrated not only is the problem the cost of medication and getting that medication but also getting medical supplies its upkeep can also be a nightmare. we have a problem getting high tech modern equipment to treat our cancer patients there are
10:19 am
numerous obstacles for importing the equipment due to the sanctions in place against iran we have some equipment but it requires spare parts that we can't get anywhere a failure of any single piece or part of this equipment causes us to stop operating the entire machine history has shown that sanctions are a failure but in those few very instances where they do bring about some kind of diplomatic agreement that takes a long time merely prolonging the suffering of ordinary citizens. and around has hurried eight opposition supporters and other prisoners hoping to ensure some rollback on sanctions from washington ahead of a meeting in new york however financial expert patrick young believes the u.s. measures against tehran a doomed to fail anyway. ultimately in an interconnected world where we have so much globalization it's almost impossible for any country even the hyper power the

united states of america to be able to successfully stop trade and transactions happening with different countries therefore the end result ultimately has only been to impoverish ordinary citizens rather than really hitting the elite the world is not a simplistic place to raise not a huge creating for democracy in the middle east and that's fundamentally a problem of the sanctions regime of america what there has been what has been demonstrated by the arab spring is actually people wanting commerce to improve their lifestyles in that sense people want to replicate the trade success of the united states of america and they feel very very upset when sanctions basically come in and hurt their lifestyles intervening supranational a is rather difficult to justify in any possible circumstance and certainly without the power of the u.n. security council andrew news and has straight how websites way can find out how scientists could be one step away from raising mankind
