front of the syrian state t.v. building and not far from the hotel where foreign experts who are investigating and overseeing the destruction of syria's chemical weapons stockpiles are staying a short time ago the head of their team criticized the opposition for not allowing them access to some of the sites where rebels have control now there has been a number of warnings posted online by rebel fighters that they would use water shells to rain down on damascus all of this is hampering peace efforts and the two sides continue to dig in their heels nowhere is as more evident than in the city of holmes we traveled there and visited the quarter of god. where we found that the two sides are often just meters away from each other. this is the front line as watched by a syrian army sniper. after a thousand days of war this is what victory looks like and the eerie silence of

what once was the vibrant quarter of. twenty meters from here rebel fighters hold the ground while the army does this to squeeze between a few streets that threw up unexpected heroes from among the rubble everything had been measured in a kind of this was unknown in syria before i knew nothing of this before the war actually. two and a half years ago last summer was a school teacher the twenty nine year old signed up for war that it suddenly shattered right inside his castle some volunteered his pin passion for kalashnikov . but something happened i was teaching a little more show in the studio there were a lot of victims overhead i remember as i held one little girl who had been killed and seeing her blood i felt so sorry for her family i'm african jewish they seem to like beheading even icons and statues and setting these are the messages to send us

in the city you know right. there was no militants here only in the sense that. some people here were praying for peace and this is one of the bombs that one of the bombs that caused all this devastation this is their message. to put it here just as a matter of. the church of babel shop was built in eight hundred eighty five four hundred twenty six years it served as a house of sanctuary overnight it became the house of saud. as for the children it was also for many families as well they were killed because they refused to be militants or from a sufi and a couple of the all the militants have been cleared out of this project but we're still here and we keep up a presence to take the area and prevent the terrorists from returning. to trying to get back to normality but what if we defeat them we will rebuild the structure because children will once again into your careers will be here it wasn't any to be

a handful of families are starting to return in the ravaged streets the sound of children's laughter punctuates the rumble of machine gunfire. and i remember when i used to play football just like you know i have to carry a gun just sort of they can play here safely but when i was their age i dreamt of being a professional footballer and i'm sure they've got the same dream job protecting them so nobody comes along to destroy their dreams. they were approaching sniper valley it's about twenty metres from here the sniper is. displaying to me that i have a right now we're going to go i think he's going to take my hand and we're going to run. ok. ok he's telling me not to be afraid and i don't know if it. was that you ok ok all right i trust him and we're going to make a run for it ok three. if i can i

cannot participate in a confession got across much of what it was to do apparently one person was killed here bets i make a mess of things. literally as night falls the streets of bubbles become more dangerous the soldiers light fires every few meters to help them see as i have some asks me to pray for him and his colleagues most of us he says will probably not be the next time you visit policy or r t. syria. a key rebel group has refused to take part in the geneva peace talks planned for november there were russian foreign minister has blamed the western backers of the opposition for not putting enough pressure on them to participate in the talks middle east conflict analyst and more in a row who believes it's next to impossible to bring such a chaotic group to negotiate they've not come to the talks in june which was

scheduled for june this year that they don't have leadership long term coherence strategy they did not enjoy any popularity among the civilians or the syrians within syria so. secretary kerry can get anyone from the syrian national council to a turned because they haven't been able to thus far. they're not the americans have not been the honest broker in the whole process so. the talks will be held in november as a result. and a fresh development in syria and kidnappers have released part of the humanitarian aid group abducted on sunday three international red cross workers and an arabic red crescent volunteer have been freed says they had their of the i.c.r.c.

operations in the middle east but three more are still being held by the gunman there the kidnapping took place in the same province that was shaken by today's deadly car bombings. and the dangers and hardships of providing humanitarian aid amid the sea were in crisis or is the focus of discussion and oksana boy goes latest interview she spoke to the president of the red cross and here's a preview of the four words apart program you can find online at r.t. dot com. miss him are you just mentioned the geneva conventions and the geneva conventions make it pretty clear that. they were primarily designed to protect people quite not part of the conflict or no longer part of the conflicts while the geneva convention clearly give protection to civilians or to combatants they do not leave combatants without any protection. the same protection as civility can go in there when the woman is

a woman the woman didn't seek according to did she need a convention have the same right to medical treatment as civilians have. already been shunned down in the united states government now verges on another crisis although this one could go global washington has seventy two hours left to raise the debt ceiling or else face a default but lawmakers are refusing to budge holding any possible deal hostage to their own interests or he's an isa now explain to us just how serious the consequences could be. well there's been no headway over the weekend between democrats and republicans coming to some kind of agreement on how to raise or whether or not to raise the debt ceiling if the u.s. doesn't secure a debt arising of its debt ceiling will have to default on its over sixteen and a half trillion dollars of borrowing so you have the rest of the world very wary

they're panicking you have the heads of various major financial organizations global financial organizations like the i.m.f. talking about how american legislators need to be responsible but this bickering is ridiculous they need to find a way to get through this so the rest of the world doesn't have to pay for these dire consequences huge economic partners what will happen to them if the u.s. does go head into fall will according to experts whether or not it happens on china is still going to rethink the way it does business with the united states here's jeffrey summers of the university of wisconsin milwaukee and united states of course is an economy which leads global credit and the foreign purchase of its treasury bills so this puts it in a very precarious position moving forward in terms of the ability to fund many of its programs domestically for those countries in the late shift line and very very deeply within their economies they're very very nervous so i think it just gives

further fuel to move and of course china has been trying to see if it could coordinate a new order which would be less dollar based you have protests breaking out especially in the capital here over the weekend a group of truckers came in towards the u.s. capital you had veterans this sunday coming together and coming to memorial so there was thousands of protesters who in fact broke through a barricade on sunday to try to get to world war two monument they were peaceful just chanting slogans like break down these walls singing patriotic songs but yet there were riot police they are ready to go to control these veterans and if the u.s. does go ahead and default of course those protests are expected to get worse not to mention the effects it will have on the rest of the world. talks in senate according to latest reports are not going well with her publicans and democrats deadlocked over potential spending cuts and earlier i spoke to equity strategist

and economist peter weston about this situation and he says the default would be nothing short of devastating or default would be a catastrophic event you would have the increase in the cost of borrowing for. around the globe you would have inflation in the u.s. increasing on the back of a very sharply falling dollar. and it would basically affect every single country in the world given that the dollar remains from the key reserve currency looking at a home worth of basically one by my children. and you know the fortunate thing is that the people that believe that the default could be manageable is very timely but it's a question of winning them over but given that we see time and time of various political crisis a period of us i think there would be more calls for sort of trying to reduce dependency in america in the same way as america has been trying to depose reduce dependency on the middle east for its oil but it has to be a very slow and sort of gradual process beijing is the single largest holder of

u.s. debt with washington owing it about one point three trillion dollars and andrew lih only independent specialist on china says the asian giants making great progress in striking out for economic independence. the situation is changing because china's surplus and falling down as a reserve is mounting and the us seems to be printing money with no end in sight the us dollar has lost. its value since the reserve was last averaged and there is little return for china's huge investment and then with china scrutinize trade opportunities opening up in terms of resources in terms of assets so china has been diversifying we are seeing that china has a special feature a zones in shanghai and chain high hong kong to speed up the process of.

all the members of the national currency so all signs point to the fact that the renminbi is likely to become fully convertible maybe within a decade. and with china looking to wind down its american holdings the u.k. is making clear it's a perfectly good alternative crisis hit london office chinese sons but it's called pox sopa visas and access to the u.k.'s most lucrative projects in exchange for beijing's billions coming to britain. and also later greece standers from one crisis to another this time swearing new round of universities stop cuts forces teachers out on strike and students into the street protesting without.

talking about language at all but i will only react to situations i have read the reports of legal pollution and no i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point to save the security of a car is on the docket no gonna. take you no more weasel words. when you need a direct question be prepared for a change when you when you should be ready for a. critical speech and little doubt the freedom to. economic down in the final. day. and the rest like.

every. you're watching live from moscow welcome back the u.k. economy seeking a shot and beyond from china as britain tries to steer its her natural sector away from christ says london is apparently ready to offer a whole set of political parks to beijing and exchange for better economic ties and she's point a boycott explains. britain's doors are open to china and more importantly the u.k.'s recession his economy is ready for chinese money to start flowing in that's the message that the u.k. chancellor george osborne is sending on a trade mission to china this week he told students at a beijing university that unlike some other western countries he doesn't want to

resist china's economic progress or put up trade barriers but he wants britain to share in the economic progress that means seeking chinese investment in british infrastructure such as british airports and war share in energy and eight hundred million pound deal for a chinese company to develop manchester airport has already been unveiled george osborne said that he's determined to open a new chapter in u.k. chinese relations and make britons see that the chinese economy is no longer low wage or low tech one of my tasks this week is to explain to the british people just how far china has come how sophisticated your businesses are how would branch you are in the fields of high tech and science and one of my principal goals this week is not just to increase british investment in china but to increase chinese investment in britain the u.k.'s current visa regime for the chinese has been criticized as colonial because of excessive red tape and application forms the u.k.

is estimated to get just a seventh of the chinese tourists that visit france every year as a result britain is thought to be losing out on over a billion pounds annually chancellor george osborne wants to bring that money into britain and announced visa rules would be simplified he even announced a twenty four hour super priority visa for chinese businessmen for economists the u.k. government's relatively recent enthusiasm towards making friends with china is easy to explain china's economy is one of the foster growing. in the world while the u.k. is struggling to emerge from a recession and it looks like the guys in there have finally decided that if you can't beat him if you're not even close you most certainly join them. artsy london more than a thousand suspected illegal migrants have been detained in southern moscow

following a raid on a storage industrial area it came in direct response to local outrage over the scale of unofficial workers in the area people say they're sitting on a powder keg citing a catastrophic collapse of security and angry crowd of people wreak havoc overnight as protests were sponsored by the murder of a local resident. brings us the details. the rides didn't start off violently in fact they started off as a gathering of local residents who are concerned with the investigation of the into the death of a local man who was killed last week in the only witness in his case was his girlfriend who said that the attacker was known slavic origin those who have shown up as the rally over the weekend most of them seem to have been members of nationalistic groups as well as football fans and they have essentially hijacked the rally shouting ethnic as well as racist slogans and they have turned their anger against migrant workers

a lot of whom are working at the shopping center as the police warehouse by while some of them wish now seems storefront windows others are said to have been looting stores inside afterwards they took to the streets where they were clashing with police overturning cars destroying a kiosk selling watermelons which provided for some colorful and somewhat pictures and then they wanted to head on over to the to the produce warehouse nearby they were stopped by riot police however we know several police personal have actually been wounded at least one of them received a blow to his head with a broken bottle there were fears that wired's could last well into the night their anger towards migrant workers from central asia is essentially indicative of the ethnic as well as racial tensions which have been simmering in russia for quite some time recently something very similar happened about three years ago in

december of two thousand and ten after a murder of a football fan by a representative from the from the northern caucasus region over russia also sparked massive riots in the center of moscow the somme on one there's no square around five thousand people came out most of them again football fans and not just nationalistic groups so the tension is subsided but definitely. there's still some upper henchmen hanging in the year. and for all the chaos that broke out in southern moscow you can go to our website r.t. dot com and that you'll find a timeline showing what happened in this city over the last forty eight hours as well as dramatic pictures. so all major universities in greece are still closed as a strike by teachers start continues well into a fifth wig week they say they're not actual work until plans to fire more than a thousand administer workers are scrapped and with no lectures to attend

undergraduates are venting their anger in the streets ariz andrew farmer reports. students have studied at athens university since the middle of the nineteenth century but today they carry placards not books you will find austerity it says the message is black and white america the anger aimed at government cutbacks but you force the university to close. of course i'm concerned right now a lot of the students you know in schools in universities feel that they have no future here. the protesters are heading towards the greek parliament among them administrative workers who've borne the brunt of the redundancies archivists treasury employees and security guards standing alongside students who should be starting a new academic year across town it's a similar story at the national technological university so this auditorium should

be full of students right now it has absolutely fortunately it's because of the serious cutbacks in administrative personnel and in public subsidies we're going to work we are to choose not to work because there is no possibility for that in fact empty lecture halls and desolate corydoras can be seen it eighteen of the cities across greece all deciding to shut this cut bank slashed their admin staffing levels by as much as forty percent back at the demonstration one lecturer shows me a letter being sent to universities around the world asking for their support there is a serious threat against greek universe it's against greek public universities so everybody fears. people who are going to lose their jobs and that public universities will be i think over the past in a few months it is

a desperate attempt to protect the higher education system but the greek government at this stage stands for a deal. struck with the e.u. and i.m.f. to secure more bailout funding means four thousand public sector jobs have to be axed by the end of the year and another twenty five thousand posts have to be redeployed though it isn't going to happen without a fight while this latest demonstration has ended here outside the ministry for administrative reforms which many people but are you for the cutbacks all the way through the protests they have been singing chants including people will not obey that history is written with resistance and they really do believe that expression i'm so glad i have done today can make a difference andrew farmer far seeing things. under logan are some other world news and brief says it will triple its sea and air patrols in the mediterranean after more than three hundred eighty migrants have been killed in the past week the prime

minister says the increased naval and air surveillance will start south of sicily on monday the patrol will reportedly be for migrant rescue rather than trying to force them to stay where they are many people flee african countries and borrows to travel to europe in the hope of finding a better life. under court in malaysia has abandoned all muslims from using the word ally to refer to their god the term is used by all faiths in the country questions argue that they have used the word for centuries which and. in two thousand and nine the government had to launch an appeal when it was sued by a council of news paper which had been banned from using the word. that's coming up next on our see some news from the world of sports to stay with us.

switzerland will soon vote if they should start giving out thousands of dollars in cash to every adult citizen in the country you heard me right there's a grassroots campaign that is trying to get the government to give out to every adult says in two thousand five hundred swiss francs approximately two thousand eight hundred dollars per month the motivation for the project is that many in switzerland fear that the financial crisis has caused wealth inequality to skyrocket you know i'm not an expert at swiss culture so maybe people there are different but if they gave out thousands of free dollars per month anywhere i've lived you would see the majority of people going into early retirement and not working at all and sort of like how they tell people not to feed the bears at parks because then the bears lose their instincts and will go hunt because getting a sandwich thrown at them is a lot easier i mean why go through the effort of auditing when the sandwich just magically appears handouts often creates law according to reuters some people are proposing

a much better law for switzerland limiting executive pay to being twelve times higher than that of the lowest paid employee although this plan is making headlines it seems like a much better idea because it doesn't to motivate people to be productive and yet it would create almost utopia like levels of wealth equality also if the bosses salary is tied to the employees that a lot of people be getting raises very soon this one to twelve p. ratio is much better than the free swiss francs and it gets my seal of approval but that's just my opinion. bush out of touch and from russia around the globe with me. and his son to come. back russia wins for nearly knocks

a step closer to qualifying and next year while cup finals. while i hear. that wins again as russians when this dominate. the short course well. i am fighting to a russian that. talks tactics talk. to his defeat to super champions at. the first fumble and in awake a world cup qualifier as russia won for now in luxembourg to go three points clear at the top of group earth with one game to go as men took a big step towards reaching the finals for the first time in twelve years because of them but. the routine for victory over so russia almost wrap up a successful qualifying campaign and they can confirm a place at their first world cup since two thousand and two with a favorable result against her by john in blackpool on tuesday meanwhile israel's

latest lies are again second place or to go produced as shock won all draw in lisbon living christiane on the side heading for the playoffs and only expected bonus for fabio capello's man. who heard the news on the way back to russia and of course were surprised by the scoreline but we're not thinking that we've already qualified for the world cup we need to win the last game and after that we'll be happy russia's only casualty from their trip to luxemburg is your is your core the wingback will be out for a month with a hip injury and misses the last match however that shouldn't cause too many problems for capello as the russians hone in on their first world cup finals in twelve years. we had a tiring flight back but it's always easier to recover after wins everyone in the team is in a good mood but it's too early to relax we have a very important fixture ahead and we're aiming to take all three points against is there by just.
