welcome to all see twenty four hour news live from moscow our ptomaine story now a car bomb in northwestern syria has killed at least twenty seven people and wounded many others they powerful blast came just a day after twin combo was rocks the sun top of damascus one near hotel way international chemical weapons inspectors are staying all she's posting are reports now from the syrian capital. eg car bomb has exploded in a rebel held northwestern town in the province of italy which is not far from the syrian turkish border the explosion happened at a busy marketplace all of this coming just hours after two massive car bombs exploded here in the heart of the syrian capital on sunday night they took place in 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 warning by rebel fighters that they will use mortar shells to rain down on damascus all of this is hampering peace efforts and the two sides continue to dig in the hills nowhere is more evident than in the city of homes we traveled there and visited the quarter of god son where we found that the two sides are often just meters away from each other this is the frontline as watched by a syrian army sniper. shoot. 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 their ground while the army does the same squeeze between a few streets that throw up unexpected heroes from among the rubble of a mess of a crime and this was unknown in syria before night i knew nothing of this before the war. two and a half years ago was a school teacher of the twenty nine year old signed up for war that it suddenly shattered right inside his classroom and some volunteered his pin passion for kalashnikov. but something happened i was teaching when a mortar shell landed in the schoolyard there were a lot of victims i remember as i held one little girl who had been killed and seeing a blood i felt so sorry for her family. they seem to like beheading even icons and statues and these are the messages they want to send us the syrian army was based

here there was no militants here only innocent civilians some people here were praying for peace and this is one of the bombs that fell and one of the bombs that caused all this devastation this is their message to put it here just as a reminder of. the church of babel shum was built in eight hundred eighty five four hundred twenty six years it served as a house of sanctuary overnight it became a house of saud. this yard is for the children also for many families as well they were killed because they refused to be the militants so. all the militants have been cleared out of this quarter but we're still here as we keep up a presence to protect the area and prevent the terrorists from returning we're also trying to get the area back to normality when we defeat them we will rebuild this church and children will once again clear and prayers will be heard 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 them you know i have to carry a gun just sort of they can play here safely when i was their age i dreamt of being a professional footballer and i'm sure they've got the same dream we're protecting them so nobody comes along to destroy their dreams. we're approaching sniper valley it's about twenty meters from here are the snipers and. explaining to me right now we're going to go somewhere when i think it's going to take my hand and we're going to run. ok. ok his telling me not to be afraid and i don't know if it. was the ok ok i trust him and we're going to make a run for it ok two three. if i can i

cannot participate in you know. what. it was to do apparently one person was killed here bet i'm ok thank you as night falls the streets of bubbles become more dangerous the soldiers light fires every few meters to help them see as i leave but some asks me to pray for him and his comrades most of us he says will probably not be here the next time you visit policy r.t. . homes syria. kidnappers have released a four out of seven aid workers abducted and see where on sunday they were captured during an attack on their convoy while working in the red in the rebel held province the same one hit by today's car bombing three people remain in captivity and joining us now live is red cross spokesman sean mcguire mr mcguire welcome to

our teens great to see you here and so do we have any information about those three who are still remain in captivity. for the four who are being released we can obviously talk to them now and get some information about what exactly happened yesterday when they were abducted at the big problem was that when our colleagues were first seized we had no contact with them so we had no idea as to what exactly had taken place so we'll be able to debrief the four who were released who were very happy to be released and the information we get from them will hopefully sisters in persuading the abductors to free the remaining three colleagues who are still being held so do they tell anything about who abducted them and why. well i think that's the kind of information we will we will hope to glean from them obviously this is sensitive we're trying not to give too much detail in public as

you can imagine. the who's holding them and why they're holding them. and whether they simply misunderstand what the international committee of the red cross does or where or what their motives are for holding them or these things are quite sensitive we want to move quickly to try to clear up any misunderstanding and to persuade the abductors to let those those three colleagues be released i think it's important to stress that we're very focused on getting our colleagues are very concerned about their safety we are also continuing with the relief operations across syria because the call to continue and the needs remain very very high and dry and it's only is that how many bring the work of the red cross out how it's civilians and obviously have them against those who who actually attacked them why would either side of the conflict want that.

i think it's i think on all sides of the conflict there has been a misuse of. of the right to humanitarian assistance i think we've seen on all sides of the conflict that medical aid is being denied to people who need it the sick and the wounded. and the areas being besieged by both the government and opposition forces so we're seeing. this sort of denial of the right to humanitarian aid which is which we would be expecting to see you observed seeing that being denied by both sides by all sides in this conflict right and such abductions are reportedly becoming increasingly common especially in the rebel held areas if the red cross is still going to continue its work in such

conditions but i think it's very important that we try to work wherever there is wherever there is need we've been able to cross frontlines throughout the conflict in syria to bring assistance into areas that are and are not being held by the by the government and it's clear that there are massive needs there for food for shelter material for water supplies and for and for medical care so we're going to continue to try to fire security and safety alone to try to help the people in need in those areas obviously pointed out that there are kidnapping risks. to weigh the risks carefully the risks can change from place to place from day to day so we need to really extremely vigilant as to as to the safety of our personnel. our right leg why international red cross spokesman thank you very much indeed it.

already shut down 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 face default but lawmakers are refusing to budge holding any possible deal hostage to their own interests artie'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 that this bickering

is ridiculous they need to find a way to get through this to 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 thursday 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 which a fine and it's a very very big player 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 there 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. beijing is the single largest holder of u.s. debt with washington about one point three trillion dollars and andrew olle independent specialist on china says the asian giants are making great progress in striking out for economic independence situation is changing because

china's surplus and fall income as a reserve is mounting and the u.s. seems to be printing money with no end in sight the u.s. dollar has lost. obvious value. for the reserve was established and there was little. hope for you to burst with and then with china's group of trade opportunities opening up in terms of resources you know homes of asset china has been diversified we are seeing that china has the special feature use all means in shanghai and i hong kong to speed up the process of. of the remember the international currency so all signs point to the fact that the renminbi is likely to become political world of all maybe within the bank it was china looking to wind down its american holdings the u.k. is making clear it's a good it's

a perfectly good turn at it prices headlines in his chinese finance but it's called pax super visas and access to the u.k.'s most lucrative contracts in exchange for beijing's billions coming to britain. and also agrees studies from one crisis to another this time a sweeping new round of universities staff forces teachers out on strike and students into the streets protesting with that. may disagree. but i believe america is exceptional. just weeks. we get.

to. see them. do we speak your language as anybody will or not a day in. the program says documentaries in spanish what matters to you. a little turn a different angle is the story. here. the spanish to find out more visit actuality. this is else he welcome back more than a thousand suspected illegal migrants are how been detained in southern most go

following a raid on a storage industrial area it's k. were in direct response to local outrage over the scale of an official walk as an area people say best sitting on a powder keg citing a catastrophic a lapse of security and angry crowd of people wreak havoc overnight as protest was sponsored by the murder of a local resident. brings us the details. the riots didn't start off of violently in fact they started off as a gathering of local residents who were 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 well as the police warehouse

nearby while some of them were smashing 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 it was 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 riots 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 something very similar happened about three years ago december of two

thousand and ten after a murder of a. representative from the from the northern caucasus region over russia also sparked massive riots in the center of moscow this time 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 is still so. henchmen hanging in the er. and from only k. also broke out in southern moscow you can go to our website home on there you'll find a timeline showing what happened in the seizure over the last forty eight hours as well as dramatic pictures. and also online israeli intelligence in the dog its main advice or iran begins a trial of a group of alleged secret agents and got a description of their supposed spying mission online. on the world wide know to day as protesters spill onto the streets and marching against so-called front

construed which they blame for harming people's health. is not afraid of china is willing to take its money to prove it declared finance minister george osborne and beijing is leading a trade mission at a time when london is vying for china's favor and billions to kick start the u.k. economy and only boyko reports there are parks in it for beijing to. britain's doors are open to china and more importantly the u.k.'s recession hits a corner me 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.

economic progress that mean seeking chinese investment in british infrastructure such as british airports and water and 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 britain's 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 that 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 fastest 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. join them. chinese investment has been a hot topic in europe and recent here is whether one side eager to woo beijing out is richer as the other is more wary pointing to africa as an example of why cautions needed one taking chinese cash but again for the former and the piece says

chinese investment is a win win all around let's say that certain african countries are fairly bad experiences with british and other european investment over the years i think china has made its mistakes as well china is now looking to invest some of its sovereign wealth fund rather more widely the house in the past it's now looking to the european union and to the united kingdom is just putting two hundred million pounds i think into into my interest or airport it's difficult to imagine that anybody who receives large amounts of investment from any country in the world that ends up spending their time politically attacking them so i mean the u.s. there will be a relationship there but as i said at the moment there is you know less than five percent of chinese investment is less than five percent of that from the united states we could see how the recent that has not stopped the recent spat with the u.s. over if you wanted spying on our own european and british individuals companies and

organizations several major universities in greece are still closed as a strike by teaching staff continues well into a fifth week they say they're not growing box work until plans to fire more than a thousand administrator workers are scrapped and was no lectures to attend undergraduates have vented their anger in the streets as anger following reports. students have studied at athens university since the middle of the nineteenth century but today they carry placards not books youth will fight austerity it says the message is black and white. 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 archivist treasury employees and security guards standing alongside students who should be starting a new academic year across time it's a similar story at the national technological university so this auditorium should be full of students right now and it has absolutely fortunately it's because of a serious cutbacks in administrative personnel and public subsidies but cannot work we are to choose not to work because there is no possibility for that in fact empty lecture halls and desolate corridors can be seen it eighteen of the cities across greece all deciding to shut is cut back slash 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 brick universe it's against greek public universities so everybody fears. people who are going to lose their jobs and public universities will be i think of 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. 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 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 they have done today can make

a difference andrew farmer far. and now a look at some other world news in brief a silly says it will triple that 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 bios to travel to europe in the hope of finding a better life. a court in malaysia has banned non muslims from using the word to refer to their god they term is used by all faiths in the country questions argue that they have used the word for centuries which ended marlay from arabic in two thousand and nine the government had to launch an appeal when it was sued by a catholic newspaper which had been by and from using the word. and up next an

aussie find out how america seemed to give it south the right to go as it pleases and how base affects the wider wilds and a special report an exception is. 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 is trying to get the government to give out to every adult citizen 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 it's 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 wealthy quality 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.
