the u.s. risk ok martin you want to jump in the u.s. i don't doubt is the euro is a u.s. soldier and it is all it is a. home base they yet. repeat that us over and as i would suggest a problem it's nothing as by the promise so that's that's why they'll you know kind of ride the chinese are looking to invest in some other things with some form of banking with how this. industry is so in europe actually they're buying up like german companies now all over the place looking looking at physical industry i think they have put quite enough folks over in bonds but within the u.s. and europe and again that have to write it off rather than throwing good money after bad so in america we do you realize we're twenty seconds later we're going to . give you the last word go ahead. i even that you know the story here is going to take a long time chinese investment in physical assets actually was flat last year it was going up for years it was flat last year they couldn't find things to buy you've got to have an alternative to the dollar for the dollar to decline even when u.s. fiscal po

net creditor to the work it finances the u.s. and the u.s. is a debtor so it's this combination of the size of the economy the fact is a big trader and the fact that it's a creditor confers on it a lot of power that's today and over the next ten fifteen years all these numbers are going to go in china's favor so the china's going to become an even bigger economy than the u.s. and even bigger treated in the u.s. and continue to be you know financing the u.s. so that combination is what is making china very dominant let me give you one example one example so take the fact that china you know finances the u.s. right or to so much cash three point three trillion dollars worth of cash if europe gets into trouble well you know it which would happen which country in the world has the ability to be allowed to your the united states china because this three trillion dollars and when it has that power or that ability it can always exercise power well could be political ramifications for that as far as crucial foreign policy issues for example over syri

u.s. objected to iran's participation of the talks on saturday and at uniting influential states behind proposals for a syrian led political transition russia and the us are divided on the issue of iran's involvement with the two nations along with a number of western and arab countries due to tand the gathering diplomats say saturday's meeting in geneva will focus on an idea of a syrian national unity cabinet that would include government and opposition members but would exclude quote those whose participation what's on their mind it's not exactly clear what that means for the talks however are likely to be marked by further there are differences between washington and moscow a little analysts say are more success taking sides of the conflict undermines the credibility of the mediation effort. has not been invited because of the firm you. it's position that iran be excluded from any talks when it comes to syria the secretary of state made it very clear that basically because iran supports

the u.s. and its allies are preparing for syria's transition of power the white house says president assad handing control to the opposition will help bring an end to fifteen months of bloodshed a number of western and arab states have long been pushing for change while assad has maintained his nation's a real war comes from outside meanwhile reports have emerged suggesting bridgend planning to set up camps in syria which troops and agents will help the rebels fight against the government middle east expert tariq ali believes foreign policies are largely responsible for the country's daya situation. when the americans are vassal states like group some talk about transition what they're effectively mean is regime change that is what they did in libya with dire consequences as we can see in that country today in syria the plan to bring both sides to the table and have a negotiated settlement is obviously the best way to move forward but the united states and britain and their other red lights ar

as u.s. defense and sorties go offensive in cyber warfare the pentagon's cyber command has fast tracked the development of. the administration just announced a one hundred ten million dollars program to solicit proposals from the universities and video game manufacturers so much hype about cyber war is that some people that seem to be in the authority about war start talking about technology as if they understand that they're always talking about war because that's their business and so they're trying to root technology into that and so when we have no control over technology we have these people that wish to use it for for their ends for war specifically that's a recipe for some pretty scary stuff cyber space as a whole is now seen by the u.s. military as the basket of opportunity you can't really tell the government don't do to others what you don't want them to you but in light of the recent revelations about us being a state fiber one might ask what the message that the same way the gover

the u.s. and its allies ridicule syrian government claims that terrorists are responsible for the whole massacre as washington admits military intervention plans are in the pipeline and warns it may sidestep the u.s. . tough talk on syria is expected in germany and france today where president wooden will be discussing business and politics on his first foreign tour of his new term in office. tallying the totals irish government exit polls suggest the country has voted yes to the e.u. this treaty which opponents say dooms island two years of crippling a stereo loss of sovereignty to brussels. am in the russian capital you're watching r t with me marina joshie welcome to the program how the syrian government is blaming rebel terrorists for a last weekend's massacre in which more than one hundred died in the town of houla it's a claim the u.s. strongly reject secretary of state hillary clinton says plans are being drawn up to intervene in syria ignoring the u.n. security council if necessary her

u.s. standards for granting asylum. a song would need them he has a valid fear of persecution for his political opinions and a real fear that the government to which he would be extradited would not be able to itself or prevent a third party government from interfering and persecuting him and the united states has launched a worldwide manhunt against him so interestingly under the standards the u.s. uses i mean this is a a mess that we've created on our own by going after him with such with such vigor and such hatred and such. kill list i mean a worldwide manhunt you know i don't know if he's on the kill list the none of us know but i think he certainly under american standards would fit the criteria and for now it seems like this is some kind of a last ditch effort to prevent being extradited to sweden and ultimately finding his way to the united states if that were in fact to happen what would that mean for have well if united states as you have been covering so much has been leading an

a bit over the u.s. military buildup in china get how much patience go but the question i guess i should just now how much patience do you think beijing has here one of the dangers . well beijing has not shown any cool will to confront the united states i think it's buying its time but at the same time. they're shoring up the shanghai cooperation organization india is very eager to be a part of that and granted that it doesn't have the leadership the shanghai organization but it is formidable in this is especially if india were allowed to join it. in terms of just military soldiers to the resources available and he would really be a block against the united states imperial xander so china is buying its time. how soon will it if it's really and if it is just trying to be on the program. depended research and right on the line there from california. right what time is it it's twenty four hours when it's past seven o'clock in the evening here in moscow very good to have you with us of your news twenty four

yeah well the irony is a lot of the soft power instruments of the u.s. at the disposal of the u.s. were cuts under clinton and then so straight away the u.s. is capacity to. engage get out a message was was handed under bush and then obviously the iraq war wasn't terribly popular and so yeah the u.s. image took a beating under the bush administration but i think a lot of the damage was done simply through perceptions when obama was elected it had a huge effect if you look at. j.f.k. and whole nation brand index between two thousand and two thousand and nine the u.s. moved from seventh in the world in terms of global perceptions to first in the world so it had a huge impact ok gentlemen we've run out of time oh much more to discuss and many thanks to my guest today in washington and in london and next to our viewers for watching us here are see you next time and remember cross talk with us. anything. you want. to eat.

u.s. treasuries were bored by the u.s. federal reserve so they are practically paid for with a printing press and what one of the strategies is simply to suppress interest rates and keep interest rates below inflation rates and therefore sort of work off the debt load over time through high inflation trying to flayed away and for that for that i mean you need to encourage people to hope that that to own it despite the fact that the coupon doesn't even play pay for the inflation rate normally people won't do that so policymakers have to force them to hold it one way is to not allow them to leave the country another one is to force banks to hold lots of government bonds to force your pension funds to hold government bonds to buy a regulation by legislation and i think we see a lot of efforts in that direction as well ok so you're saying that people the monetary authorities have been trying to control the flow of money around the world using monetary policies using interest rates to steer cap

is a really dominating i mean many in the u.s. would say that the u.s. is still the richest country in the wall that is the most powerful economy at the moment china's g.d.p. for example is smaller than that of the united states. but if you measure it in terms of power it's as big as the united states second china is already the world.

u.s. and its western allies are pushing for sanctions against the assad government now this is a campaign ongoing for months now the u.s. pretty much leaving it trying to get russia and china to agree on international sanctions against president bashar al assad to this point russia and china have opposed any type of international pressure in the in the form of sanctions instead referring to kofi annan six point peace plan and fully supporting that so of course these statements coming from a top u.n. official declaring a civil war in syria can be a game changer within the security council in the days ahead you have to remember that ninety day mission three hundred unarmed observers in syria was adopted under the idea that there would be a cease fire in syria if there is no ceasefire what is there left for observers to be monitoring and that is something that the u.n. peacekeeping chief mr lott sue also stated we should mention that the u.n. said that three u.n. vehicles were fired upon when

in the year as i would say the ruble a little stout for the u.s. dollar and the years we look at the russian market said it was a pretty bleak day really here most we didn't see much movement a skull it colors on the screen just. as i mentioned it's all about this in pieces but at the moment for. is just kicked off actually and the theme for this year's event is a fish and leadership and as i say is a three day long and then it will once again provide a unique platform for discussions on various issues affecting the world economy around five thousand just went from almost ninety countries are expected to pay additional attention to the eurozone problems as well as the prospects of russia president vladimir putin he'll give a speech later on today and we'll be following throughout the forum bring you the latest on the event. all right gary thanks very much indeed as always looking forward to more our dates from you and in just a few moments i'll be back with headlines followed by the latest edition of our interview show spotlight. emission free accr

can just bat it around and we have experience with the u.s. batting it around there were early people in two thousand and one that sweden at the behest of the united states at the behest of the cia sent to egypt for torture as a result of that and i understand as a linux user has little or no sweet sweden as you're suggesting and many have but before you the sweden enjoys a very very cozy relationship with the united states but as we all know. right now asking for political asylum in ecuador ecuador does have an extradition treaty with the u.s. even if it is granted refuge what are the guarantees that washington will not try to get their hands on in that. look if he's given political asylum you don't extra's extradite your political aside leigh's for the alleged crime that you were given political asylum for he will be given political asylum because he's because of it because he's being persecuted for his political views and actions then the extradition will come in saying well espionage or whatever the u.s. tries to extradite him on there's n

the u.s. and its allies are preparing for syria's transition of power the white house says president asad handing control to the opposition will help bring an end to the fifteen months of bloodshed but a number of western and arab states have long been pushing for regime change while also it has maintained his nation's real war comes from outside meanwhile reports have emerged suggesting britain is planning to set up camps in syria where troops and agents will help the rebels fight against the government mid-east blogger pro sar sharon believes that would only make matters worse. i think it would actually increase the likelihood of revenge killings kind of sectarian tension along mixed areas where. revenge operations would start to happen and it will suck more and more people in i think. that tipping point where the conflict can be pulled back from. sectarian civil war to kind of some form of political framework but once there is actively groups on the ground in syria and whatever kind of form

now while europe is the u.s. is the largest trading partner he pointed out there to detailing the threats posed from the trouble brewing across the atlantic but is the euro zone crisis also helping the u.s. perversely we'll explain finally from bunker timeshare plans to deflation to customers down under from m.f. global australia we'll hear from our viewers all around the world and respond in your feedback let's get to today's capital account. let's see what's new in the eurozone crisis saga. spain needs a bailout the country may ask for one as early as tomorrow now there are conflicting reports and comments coming from spanish officials some refuting that spain will ask for a bailout or when but come on trouble is brewing and different estimates put the money needed for a spanish bank bailout recapitalization whatever you want to call it from twenty seven billion to one hundred billion euros overnight the head of the eurozone finance ministers commented on it said spain will get the green light to listen. spend

and guided us a top secret u.s. drone down to where there was no damage and they could essentially use all the u.s. technology. that was that this drone is capable of so there have been many incidents over the last few years where hacking these drones. it's really become a reality that it's possible and it's not really being talked about and that should be one of the primary safety concerns given that these are going to be flying all of the u.s. skies and they could be potentially hijacked by anybody and drones could be used as weapons i mean if someone overtakes the g.p.s. and directs them into an area. it is an interesting and very scary thought for people and they should be worried about that but i wanted to get your take also on the drone that crashed. what do you think about that i mean do you think that this is also something that people should be concerned about is the possibility of these drones crashing in domestic areas in this country. oh yeah a couple weeks ago in maryland a drone that was over forty fee

well drones are set to take over u.s. skies soon now there's growing concern the public will lose their privacy to these spy planes the winners here seem to be the drone makers and much of the reason for that is the aggressive and powerful lobbying happening right now by the defense and aerospace industry our teaser mon glinda shows us who's cashing in and what's its call what it's costing the american taxpayer. the drones of today have revolutionized modern warfare and are known for their seek and destroy missions over afghanistan pakistan and yemen but the drones of tomorrow will be humming over american homes there may be as many as thirty thousand drones flying in u.s. skies by two thousand and twenty which is a huge number basically you know one every town now that congress and the president have cleared the way for spy planes to fly in u.s. skies defense and aerospace firms are pushing their way in d.c. in hopes of cashing in on the expected drone business boom right now the global markets worth about according to s

the u.s. state department was to back away after hillary clinton's controversial remarks alleging that attack helicopters were on their way from russia to syria we're hearing new comments from u.s. military officials this time reporters an american news outlets saying that most has sent a small contingent of troops to syria the pentagon says its trek in and russian military cargo ships and it is now making its way to syria through a russian naval base there in the city of tire to is we're really hearing from military diplomatic sources in morse code that indeed one of the large land in chiefs of the black sea fleet is on standby there and is ready to be sent to syria if needed just to protect russian citizens in this poor. but it denies that it is right now making its way to the port of tartus. where the violence raging on in syria many in the international community were quick to put the blame for alleged massacre so early on assad forces spoke to him from a christian monastery in syria she s

amid the european sovereign debt crisis and the u.s. growth falling out as well now let's see how the ruble is befalling that is well such a change of fortunes for the russian currency in the first twenty minutes or so we've got to actually gaining i guess the u.s. dollar and the euro as well as that we've got the euro dollar and you know it's pretty much unchanged really from the last hour it's just a one twenty six thirty five region to see how the asian markets are getting on them as we can see they are indeed mixed and that's because the nikkei in japan recently we have the bank of japan and i are saying that they will be keeping their interest rates unchanged bess's were hoping to they were going to into the head of the election this weekend just to kind of boost the market is a little bit but they decided not to do so so we did have the nikkei dipping into red territory but the hang seng is over a percent in positive territory as they are in the second part of their trading day as for the u.s. there is also rumors of stimulus comi

u.s. veterans counting the true cost of battle throwing away the medals they are fighting their countries want we tell you why. and spain get squeezed by record high borrowing rates after investors fail to be convinced by the help offered to provide its failing banks. nearly one hundred thirty polish football hooligans have been arrested after attacking russian supporters taking part in a sanctioned march of the twenty twelve match it was sort. for it was their. the real trouble started really a couple of hours before kickoff or russia had planned march from the city center to the stadium in warsaw which is about two kilometers outside of the city center march was obviously given a go ahead by the local authorities but in forty the trouble started when russian fans started to reach the stadium as a bridge just a few a few hundred meters away from the stadium and polish fans really tried to attack the russian fans i mean i've been following the russian team for quite a long time and a lot o

u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton is alleging that a new shipment of attack helicopters will route from russia to syria but refused to reveal his sources the pentagon was subsequently put in a position between its new knowledge of any such event to those who claim that kofi annan those putting together an international team to ease the syrian out of true coups rusher in the list even though it's opposed to the idea of foreign sponsored regime change it's one of these developments many analysts are convinced and six point peace plan remains whose only hope. i think the situation has reached very dangerous proportions and there are civilians that are being killed and today we had some. there were some pictures of harbin massacres children have been targeted and innocent civilians and i think however it's not too late i mean i am afraid that perhaps the statement given by the united nations may may be. a desperate call yes but it's not the end of the road there is still a chance to actu

reports about u.s. drone strikes in pakistan come in more and more often we're getting used to hearing in the media such and such number of terrorists was killed with no way to verify really there are no names that hatched to those numbers usually but earlier this month american officials proudly announced that a drone strike in pakistan killed one of his top. commanders almost two weeks later a video with the same men. was posted online with titles which are generally reserved for the living leaders have not confirmed or denied this the video could have been taped before his death that's true so he might as well be dead but the confusion has once again raised the question of who's really dying in those bombings and how much do we actually know because it's all very murky what we do know is that the obama administration has dramatically ramped up drone strikes in pakistan around story hundred strikes since he took office it's this area bordering afghanistan which is on the fire but judging by the intens

it's sixty two million last year the u.s. has about six hundred sixty thousand foreign students studying in american universities that's more than any other country so their ability to attract through culture through universities through civil society is really unrivaled and we do run into some problems obviously with american foreign policy but i think it's important to recognize the strength of cultural american so you know jonathan we just did a program on the egyptian presidential election and to go further what you were saying here i could well imagine an egyptian sitting in pizza hut in cairo saying you know they're going to vote for the. muslim brotherhood because they're at and they were perceived as being more nationalistic against israel against the united states i mean what i'm saying is you can take you can sit in pizza hut enjoying american pizza but it doesn't make you like foreign policy coming out of washington you know i think that's very true and i think people can compartmentalize and pick and choose what t

the u.s. military seeks a return to be known as part of its build up of the asia pacific region and what's being seen as a further efforts to undermine china. now around the clock protests are continuing on tahrir square in cairo there's fear of a what's demonstrators see as the sentencing of egypt's ousted president hosni mubarak and his associates told barton joins us live now from cairo to tell us more about tom well his revote in the arrogant. there is indeed kerry protesters are occupying risk where in central cairo calling for a second revolution to change the situation in egypt initial happiness that former president hosni mubarak was given a life sentence turned to anger as other senior security officials were acquitted of involvement in the deaths of hundreds of protesters last year mohamed morsi the muslim brotherhood's candidate in the upcoming presidential elections second round in the country toward the camp be said that the revolution should continue and that if he was chosen as

u.s. security secretary of state hillary clinton have come with a plan of a so-called plan of post syria so what we are seeing now is a lot of interference into syria's internal affairs and no we. will massacre was used against assad we can see it been more interference into a series of prayers right now as this latest massacre also can be used against assad as just the cation for this kind of international interference and of course all this. all this contradicts. has. given rise to view the rebels. may be framed i know in the media and eventually assad would be held responsible for what happened to you. thanks for that. these the timing of. these by. the support they certainly received they were. they were. is so. happy with the relations. i cut. for sure. i suspect but they by happy killed by. there were a separate group it would have been. because they were the big group. but it is case. striking. it just before. syria. so it seems to me that there are a. group. but in the halls of the

and the u.s. are doing they're using the power vacuum in belgrade to try to to establish a new reality on the ground in kosovo. now to some other international news making headlines across the world to go on a ten people in the minibus have died after being hit by a cargo plane which crashed landed at the country's main airport the plane overshot the runway and plowed into the path to be called. who aboard jets escaped the injuries and were taken to hospital it's not clear what caused the incident. thousands of students of march through the streets of montreal in protest separate post two should be hikes came two days are tossed collapse between activists and the government ended ending months of sometimes violent protests two and a half thousand people have been arrested since demonstrations began more than a dozen colleges westies in back. the media report accuses u.s. and south korean special forces of parachuting into north korea to spy on underground military facilities there the revelations

u.s. educated is a most mohamed morsi a form of mubarak official. obvious has been following the vote in khartoum joins me now live from there how's the situation looking at the moment do we have any any understanding of who's leading the polls. well i'm standing in front of abdel nasser school which like schools throughout egypt for the past forty eight hours has been operating as a voting station it has just closed as indeed this presidential runoff comes to an end at this stage we have no indication of who has won indeed we have no indication of what the voter turnout has been like on thursday will be an official announcement of who egypt's next president will be although we anticipate that is early as monday morning we could have some indication now the voter turnout does seem to be low with observers reporting that there were no significant long queues in front of voting stations and at the end of saturday which is halfway through the selection the voter turnout hovered at around the

u.s. educated islamist mohamed morsi and a former mubarak official week following the voting in. whoever wins will take office in a climate of chaos confusion and a great deal of political uncertainty there is no constitution there is no condiments and the ruling supreme council of armed forces holds the legislative and executive power now what makes this particularly alarming is that these elections were supposed to be the next step in egypt's transition to a real democracy it is still unclear what the plan was the new president will have and indeed what his mandate will be now the one off is between two candidates the man put forward by the muslim brotherhood as dr mohamed morsi and he has been campaigning as a voice of the revolution on the other hand there's a mature fake who is being supported by the army he is campaigning for law and order and he was the last prime minister in the era of the for me gyptian president hosni mubarak at this late stage it is still unclear who will win bo

remember that in the u.s. has been arjun's ceilings a secret carries the death penalty still and then the wiki leaks really see huge amounts of information and the u.s. diplomatic cables that were released in two thousand and ten were huge embarrassment to the u.s. government so i mean there isn't a mistaking the fact that julian a son is a man he certainly from his actions and from what he said is very fearful of what would happen to him in the u.s. officials for his license. they now have a forty eight thousand one hundred thirty five page. statement made in court. manages the. subject on the grand jury seating which is now open. to counsel and subpoenas everywhere to comment on public record about how. grand jury we have received. the spirit mention my name two people have been detained at the u.s. . gated by the f.b.i. well this is julian assange just chance really to set the record straight he's just spent his third night in the ecuadorian embassy of course this is the latest a massive twist in the own go

dollar u.s. debt looks a lot better than european debt right now then than other countries so it's clearly benefiting maybe have stated they want to talk about the euro. crisis that kind of just you just keep ignoring it for make it's about it's delaying the day of reckoning for the united states are learning things for a check up this week thank you. also to come tonight michigan's republican lawmakers seem to have a problem with textbook terminology for the theme male anatomy so we'll explain why they think vagina is a dirty word and for all time. low . technology innovation all the developments around russia we've got the future. it's just gone ten thirty pm here in moscow you live with our team let's take a look at the headlines this hour u.n. observers in syria suspend the activities because of the escalating violence meanwhile moscow denies the pentagon's claims that a russian military cargo ship is carrying weapons and troops to syria. the final round of egypt's presidential election is un

involvement in the region we know that the u.s. has handed a lot of countries around the world but you know there are currently a ton of bases in latin america and there's still more developing so should the u.s. be interfering with these countries to fight the drug war talk more about this now i'm joined by adrian keene professor at american university thanks so much for coming in so let's take a look really quickly at the violence happening in hundreds right now some say that it's the most dangerous country in the world. and eighty six deaths per one hundred thousand and also the homicide rate has just grown astronomically it's doubled in the last five years so why is this well in particular it's jump since the coup in two thousand and nine which the u.s. supported by basically by funding and approving fraudulent and violent elections carried out by the same military that carried out the coup and and then continuing the farce of recognizing a government that the hundreds themselves didn't recognize and it took several years for o

u.s. marshals however the informers that made the arrest possible will be rewarded. because. of. that. and so i figure out what's going on or. anything again it's always based on what they do if they pull a gun out and you know they're trying to take our life and they have the power of life or death because we're not superheroes they can be killed to you know if they shoot me in the head i'm going to die no matter what. you know it's they have the ability to kill us. we take that seriously and. based on what they do with how we react but we always react to what they do. we never just walk a sure shoot anybody. in the fugitive received a slight head injury during the arrest. it is likely he will complain about being mistreated. and we can try to keep. the law also rises him to be examined by a doctor or a paramedic comes to take him to the hospital under close watch. ultimately he might get the death penalty often expected in california for murder of. his back at the marshal's headquarters.

as massive drone program the u.s. is the largest producer and most frequent user of the unmanned aircraft with a fleet of over seven thousand drones and the u.s. just unveiled yet another one take a look at it. there's a monster of a drone was revealed recently in california it's a broad area maritime surveillance drone or bams as it's called it has a wingspan of more than one hundred thirty feet and can soar at eleven miles high for thirty hours and it's time but what really makes this drone different is that it allows the navy to monitor and track ships in the open sea something other drones have difficulty doing so clearly other countries have a lot of catching up to do but with other nations wanting to mimic the u.s. as drone program could we see an international race to rule the skies to talk about this is retired u.s. army colonel douglas macgregor welcome to the show douglas so would you say that there is a. the global rush to for countries to create drones absolutely without question the unmanned aircraft indu

the u.s. is going to reopen two of its former military bases in the philippines this comes just a week after the details of the pentagon's new asia pacific strategy were laid out with the bulk of america's warships to be deployed to the region by twenty twenty we're not a secretary-general of the by a political coalition thinks the move is aimed at china. in line with the u.s. strategy of rebalancing their forces the u.s. is seeking more access to these former d. sis though they may not be going after formal basing agreements they would have unlimited access to be specific use in many other facilities all over the country so that their ships can stop over if you will and be stationed for periods specially during military exercises and this all of this would transform the philippines into a military outpost that would allow the united states to project its power throughout southeast asia the increased presence of u.s. troops would complicate matters between the philippines and china or stabiliz
