the peace process started in vienna is long overdue.as the human tragedy continues to take place inside syria and keeps spilling over its borders. with a particularly heavy burden on its neighbors, jordan, lebanon, and turkey, are bearing the brunt of it. unprecedented numbers of refugees are reaching europe while human traffickers and smugglers are profiting from their plight. to this very day the civilian population continues to suffer the atrocities committed not only by terrorist groups such as daesh but also by president assad's regime. being part of the problem, president assad cannot be seen as part of the solution to this devastating crisis. all syrians should feel safe and have the right to be secure in a future, peaceful and democratic syria. those who committed crimes against humanity, gross human rights violations and mass atrocities should be brought to justice. there can be no room for leniency. the very first and most urgent step is to agree on long term sustainable cease-fire. it is imperative to fully open unconditional

when you look at what he said in the aftermath of the vienna conference he said we agree on the same principles the secretary said we may not see eye to eye on every aspect of the syrian policy but we want the same outcome we see the same challenges. they both want to go after this group. you know, that obviously creates potential, at least the administration and i really wish and hope that they are right. like you said, i want them to be right. i am afraid that they are wrong. i hope i am wrong. i say that because i look at the pattern of behavior over time. i ami am afraid the approach in syria is very much a zero-sum approach. i am afraid it is still very much one of backing the regime. you know, what you described i accept. it is no secret that he wants to preserve the military presence and access they have had. he wants to be an arbiter of any outcome in syria. he wants to parlay being an arbiter in syria into being seen as the key arbiter in the region as a whole and the fact that you look at who has been going to moscow and he looks increasingly like he is succeeding at that c

the mimikama initiative in vienna exposes falsehoods and abuse on the internet. it's financed by ads and donations. bogus reports on refugees are at an all-time high. >> there's no e because this phenomenon has a current political background which is also continuing. as long as we continue to have a political debate on refugees, material will continue to be disseminated on the social networks, and it has to be monitored. >> aside from target practice, elisabeth enjoys surfing the web. on october 14th, 2015, she retweeted, migrants are setting fires in sweden's capital. in fact, the reference was to the unrest in stockholm's suburbs back in 2013. refugees were not involved, as mimikama confirmed. was this a deliberate attempt to incite fear? >> the fear is growing. partly, those fears have been purposely stocked up, and partly because they're rooted in people's own perception that they're growing, because they've always been harbored, and now they're just being reinforced. >> the seidler gun shop in vienna's 19th district. gun sales are rising sharply in austria's

oil ministers from the opex exporters are meeting in vienna, oil ministers arrived in vienna on thursday. on the agenda is oil production. so far they haven't been able to strike a deal. oil prices continue to slump. we seem to have an idea of what the agenda is supposed to be. any idea how they're actually going to tackle it? >> reporter: well, there will be a very big debate amongst the 12 ministers. on the one hand i think it's fair to say that you have the saudi arabian position which is that the current level of production should be maintained regardless of the short term impact on oil prices; in other words, the zaudis are prepared to see this glut of oil on the international market which has contributed to the current dramatic fall in oil prices in recent days going beneath $45 a barrel. the saudi strategy is to put high cost oil producers out of business through this low oil price. for example, people who are producing oil from shale through the frocking proceed in the states, people who are producing oil in very deep waters, say off the coast of brazil. people who are looking fo

now we have the vienna process we can hope and pray succeeds. what i would like to see if they do think we're in crisis management mode i agree entirely. nobody has us silver bullet but the one thing that is absolutely essential for the united states and russia us to agree upon is mass casualty attacks on civilian populations are inadmissible under international law and must stop now. even the fact we're in the middle of the privy your humanitarian abomination of our time and means nothing to individuals, how in the world will this be in a process get anywhere with the civilians on the bull's-eye? how does the opposition delegation come to new the table in the spirit of goodwill and compromise while the constituency is blown away on a daily basis? how do we fight isil with this marvelous recruiting tool provided by assad regime remains in effect? that is why the issue between the united states and iran and russia needs to be addressed up front otherwise the vienna process becomes elongated permission slip of the continued slaughter that will sto

paris they talked about weaning them off addiction to fossil fuels and here in vienna it's differentncerns more immediate. low oil prices are hurting all 13 opec countries, saudi arabia, the biggest producer has argued they are a necessary evil to help put rival non-opec oil producers in the usa and brazil out of business. but the weaker opec economy like venezuela went in the meeting saying saudi arabia should cut production to force prices backup and venezuela minister told me his country was not alone in its financial difficulties. >> some people tend to believe we are necessary for calling the price and only venezuela is interested but that is a big mistake. >> you are desperate. >> on the contrast, we are very worried about the price, all the countries and including the saudis and all the countries, okay so it's not just venezuela we are worried about. >> reporter: after seven hours of talk opec announced there would be no cuts in production and it agreed only to monitor events in the months ahead and i asked the nigerian oil minister how much the pain of low oil prices are goin

let's get more from vienna. ryan chilcote is standing by.usly, news reports this morning that the saudi's might gather with the rest of opec and non-opec and may possibly look for a slash in terms of output. what credence is there in this, mr. chilcote? ryan: i was just talking to the iranian oil minister. iran says they would be happy to discuss a production ceiling once they fully return to the market. that is probably a nonstarter for the saudi's and its proxies in opec. i want to talk about demand. we are joined by a bloomberg best forecaster. he has been a bloomberg best forecaster in 12 different categories in the last year. jason, thank you for joining us. manus and i were talking about supply and how maybe there's going to be a production cut from opec, but you are focused on the demand picture. you say you look at china, and that tells us what is going to happen in the future. >> that's right. we are looking at what's going on with prices. pmilook at manufacturing for november and it has been below 50, indicating contraction in 11 o

vienna at the opec meeting of oil ministers. i spoke to a whole host of them and i'm not sure any of them are happy with the outcome. before today there was an official production level of 30 million barrels a day with a de facto real level of 31. 5 million barrels a day. now and in the opec communique there is no mention of what the real level is from now on. they say they will just continue the current policy, we will produce what we are producing, we will monitor events and we hope for more dialogue with non-opec members as well. and that's a metaphor for the fact that they've been unable to get a deal with russia and other non-opec producers to cut production and stabilize price whether that means prices continue to fall in the overall market remains to be seen but it does mean somewhat of a free-for-all for the opec members who can now pretty much produce what they like and not have to stick to any form of quota. the opec quota did say to me that they've got a meeting in june 2016 but it was highly possible if prices fell t

guy: that is out of vienna.lation story and the oil story, we are trying to come to grips with it. how important is the price of brent in the forecast for 2016? >> i think the level of coordination amongst policymakers, central banks, governments, oil-producing countries is very high. if we have additional ecb stimulus promise to do more in soothing financial market conditions when they do that, and opec reducing supply a bit, it is an inflationary in polls for the global economy -- inflationary impulse for the global economy. jonathan: is it a fake stimulus? is it real, or not real? >> it prevents policymakers from going too far with monetary stimulus, which contributes. to inflation. guy: legal issue of the underlying economy is still there. it still needs more monetary stimulus. we have had an inflationary impulse, but is it enough? >> it is difficult to know what will happen in one year's time. there are a number of issues. if oil prices keep pushing inflation higher, this will consumers with the incentive.

most experts here in vienna expect that saudi arabia will get its way. so oil prices are likely to remain low for another year or so. even though that will bring more pain to several fellow opec members. barnaby phillips. al jazeera, vienna. >> around the world disappear at an ever increasing rate. it's an issue in paris where legislature is trying to thrash out the fight against climate change. >> chalais are ready for the christmas rush. but all around things are changing because of global warming. to see the evidence you only have to take the tourist train up the mountain on the railway that's been operating since 1908. one of the longest glaciers in the alps. luke has been studying these glaciers for years. he took a time lapse of the englishes. thousands of years of compacted ice flowing down the mountain, but it's less every year. >> the glacier makes the invisible, visible. we're talking about temperature, energy, greenhouse gasses. we're seeing the result of all these things. the climate is unfavorable to glaciers. the landscape is changing. we h

process, but it means we approach the vienna process and prudent you have to put not with the logic of argument but with the logic of leverage which is actually the logic that putin understands. in the logic of leverage would have us to the following, have us go and say comeau we are deep believer'sbelievers in the vienna process. we have committed to it unmistakably but it cannot work unless there is a cease-fire. so if this fails you leave us no choice but to support safe haven. the administration has been reluctant because it requires us to do something command you are right. the administration should look at having invested so much and the court our strategy is not only ratcheting up because we have a contradiction. we send them out. there is no chance to bring the men. so long as we were ratcheting up and they continue to hammer the opposition meaning that for them to join us your part of the onslaught and they won't do it. if you have a safe haven which deals with part of the issue you create an area you could have leverage of the opposition and in this sense the sunnis are se

here in vienna, the agenda is different and the concerns more immediate.low oil prices are hurting 13 opec countries. saudi arabia has argued it is a necessary evil to put rival non-opec oil producers to put the countries like usa and brazil out of business. but others argued that saudi arabia should cut production to force prices back up. venezuela's oil minister told me that his country is not alone in their financial concerns. >> all countries are interested. >> you are desperate, aren't. >> you all the countries are worried about the price. all the countries including the saudis and whatever countries. it is not only venezuela. >> but after seven hours of talks, opec announced there would be no cuts in production. it agreed only to monitor events in the months ahead. i asked the nigerian oil minister how much pain continued oil prices are going to cause his country. >> we look at this, how do we utilize the opportunity of the pain as quote/unquote caused by reduce price regime to try to gain efficiencies in the system. efficiencies in cost management.

the ministers arrived in vienna on thursday. top of the agenda is oil production. so far the members haven't been able to strike a deal on cutting it. but oil prices continue to slump affecting revenues. barnaby phillips is at that meeting in vienna. >> reporter: there will be a very big debate amongst the 12 ministers. on the one hand i think it's fair to say that you have the saudi position which is that the current level of production should be maintained regardless of the short term impact on oil prices. in other words, the sau darkss are prepared to see this glut of oil on the international market which has contributed to the current dramatic fall in oil prices in recent days going beneath $45 a barrel. the saudi strategy is to put high cost oil producers out of business. there are other countries in opec, venezuelan, algeria, libya, indeed nigeria who frankly lead a more hand to mouth existence, who need high oil prices day-to-day to fund their government social projects, their security concerns and so on, and they will be saying to the saudis, please, let's

again, this is coming to us from authorities in vienna. they are not specifically naming the countries that are in focus or where the potential attack could take place, but general, to you first, you were commander of all u.s. army troops in europe not long ago. you dealt with situations like this as recently as 2011. when you got these nonspecific terror, potential terror threats, how did you handle them? >> it's tough, poppy. what you have to do is really drive for more information. you always have to fight for more intel, because you can watch people that indicators are there's a couple of individuals involved, but just watching people if they are not doing anything, you can harass them. that might turn a potential attack off. and it might happen later on, so you have to do some very good intelligence work and police work in terms of surveillance. you're always looking for more details on who, what, why, when, where, and how it's going to be conducted. unless you have some specifics on that, it really blows the situation if you try and

a chaotic seven-hour meeting in vienna.artel will continue to pump oil until rivals are squeezed out. why and why now? >> the iraqi oil minister probably put it the best, the u.s. does not have a ceiling, russia does not have a ceiling, why should opec? their ability to control the market through cutting supply is severely diminished. if they cut someone else, it will kill the void. rishaad: have they found a new ceiling? ceiling hasnse of a been abandoned. it was a token ceiling, if that. data, look at bloomberg the past six month it has been about 32 million barrels a day. , iran isok at iran coming back after the international sanctions have been removed. about this part of the world? malaysia is clearly not a winner here. winner might be china. it is the world's second-biggest importer of crude. the other company could be the refiners. those buying the crude might find they might get a discounted rate. rishaad: look at this opec decision to abandon these targets, it has been dominating our discussions today. >> the news

oil ministers from the opec countries gather in vienna.but in paris leaders spoke of the addiction of fossil fuels. in vienna the concerns are different and more immediate. saudi arabia, the biggest producer say there are necessary evils to put rival non-opec oil producers countries like the usa and brazil out of business. but the weaker economies went in to this meeting saying that saudi arabia should cut production to force prices back up. venezuela's oil ministry told me his country is not alone in its financial difficulties. >> some say we're desperate in changing the price, but this is a mistake. >> but you are desperate. >> all the countries are very worried about the price. all the countries, including the saudis and whatever countries, okay? it's not just only venezuela. >> but after seven hours of talks opec announced there would be no cuts in production. it agreed only to monitor events in the months ahead. i asked the nigeria oil minister how many pain continued low oil prices is going to cause his country? >> how we're going to

david: ryan chilcote live with us in vienna.you're talking oil, there's no better person to turn to than the vice chair of ihs. let me ask you about that headline there. rumors report that opec as a cartel is now over. >> it's true. it's not the opec of the last 40 years. it's really never quite been a cartel because it's 1/3 of the market. now it's a trade association. david: we heard them say they will maintain, perhaps reassess. was always a chance of last-minute surprise. a lot of diplomacy went on. you saw the gulf countries visiting russia. it's not only about oil, but is really about relationship between gulf countries. oil is part of that puzzle. david: i don't believe russia sent a delegate to this meeting. what role are they playing in the global oil market? >> they are right now the largest oil producer in the world, despite the sanctions, production has inched up. there's a dialog back-and-forth, but the russians give no indication that they want a cut. when the saudi's put that proposal on the table yesterday or so,

they met twice before in vienna. they are here now in new york.y are trying to move forward to later this afternoon bring this draft resolution to the u.n. security council to be chaired by secretary of state john kerry, and then get that passed. now if you remember, in the past, many times before, russia has often been the blocker, has often vetoed these resolutions. we'll see what happens in the coming hours, del. >>courtny you have rivals, putting it politely, coming together at the same able to. what are the sticking points? >> reporter: well, the first sticking point and has been in the last four years, nearly five years into this conflict, is will assad go or stay? before the negotiations the u.s. said he must go, russia says he stays. now they are talking about a transition government with executive power. there is even talk among some of these world powers that president assad could even be part of an election process. sow you vu iran at the table, saudi arabia at the table, russia and the u.s. at the table just for starters. >> who is par

my assumptions were wrong, they will promote the inclusive syrian government they signed up for at viennaand will send their client packing forthwith. thanks. >> doctor, what about those assumptions? >> thank you so much. first of all thank you so much for inviting me here. my task was much easier because i was asked to speak about the causes and the aims of the russian actions in syria. so i can sum up my frustration with choke point and maybe i can if i have time -- [inaudible] so if one looks on major driver, some of them are mentioned already. so first of all it's of course the chance for mr. putin to confront the united states and to compound th the policy of individual which you propose for many years beginning from the operations in iraq and then even before mr. putin came to power, it was russian position of operations of the western policy. so he and mr. putin definitely see the possibilities to stop the american intervention and the american movement, to counter it so this is i think the first direction behind this action. the second one i would say that russia for long ceased t
