on screen and online twenty four hours a day seven days a week here with r.t. and karen tara well the latest financial blow to the e.u. comes from moody's the ratings agency has changed the blocks outlook from stable to negative warning it faces being downgraded moody's the decision reflected the issues the key budget contributors are dealing with earlier this year the ratings of germany france britain are in their lives or switched to a negative outlook that's just relentless meetings between leaders which have so far failed to deliver any solutions reports claim that the troika of international leaders want greece one of the most debt stricken countries to work six days a week and longer hours to fulfill their financial obligations investment adviser patrick jiang believes it's the bailouts that are dragging europe down. not

withstanding the terrible crisis in the euro zone the truth is that the european union is glorious find. everybody's money together i'm going to. prosperity has been a fiasco because all of the people in the euro are being stopped over to because of the fact that there has been transferred so much money to the profligate incompetent government that are on the southern side of the euro zone there's a wonderful article by the mayor of london boris johnson talking about how cruel issue is going to be sucked into the euro because they've pledged to join it because they are extending to the european union next year that would be a suicide move for any nation that wants to join ultimately the cross for its club of the euro zone has turned into a very bitter amongst few do drunks over who is going to get the last measure of vodka and that is not a way that any other government is going to be happy in being complicit with the

economic mismanagement of a crumbling field single currency zone in time one of the countries which has been longing to join the euro bulgaria has carved it's a doozy as and shelved its plans to spread finally having qualified to join artists are silly reports on why the poorest member state decided to turn its back on the single currency. bulgaria is posing the latest blow to the embattled currency know it has put on hold its long held plans of joining the euro bloc and interesting we bulgaria in contrast to a lot of bigger economies has managed to reduce its budget deficit to two point one percent of its g.d.p. and that is safely within the three percent rule set by the e.u. a number consistently met mentioned by german chancellor angela merkel but now that they've actually qualified and all the rules they don't want to put this on hold of the prime minister of bulgaria as well as the finance minister had both said that

there are two main reasons for this one is the increasing of vulnerability and uncertainty of the future of the euro in the block it's clear it's been going on for a couple of years now and also the deteriorating economic conditions are still the clear way out of the crisis and secondly and i think importantly for the leaders of that country is the changing of public opinion in bulgaria people there asking the very same questions that the citizens of credit euro zone countries are asking who else are going to be allowed and for bulgaria's point of view who are we going to bail out once we join the euro and also the country has been through three years already of a spirit of measures cuts in pensions and wages and you know for the last year especially a stair to use almost a key word when discussing the eurozone or the euro and now bulgaria is not the only country it's just the latest in the string of countries lithuania last week the prime minister has said that it will only join the euro when quote unquote europe was ready and of course that that is at this point very unclear when this

state will be coming and also latvia has lost and boozy as it's changed its tone in terms of looking at the process of joining the euro now what this all underlies it goes back to the same point the vulnerabilities the weaknesses that we see in the euro and from the outsider's point of view this is what they see they see contras in trouble needing bailouts and you have creditor countries imposed on the people and you have angry and desperate citizens. those countries and with that kind of a picture it's not entirely surprising that bulgaria made that decision in syria and the ongoing bloodshed is provoking a large scale humanitarian crisis the un says around one hundred thousand escaped the conflict last month the largest number so far most of the escapees are now in turkey but the authorities have closed the border to those with no passports as the camps swelled by more than eighty thousand people let's get more now from artie's very own paulo solu paulo what more can you tell us about the situation on the

syria turkey border. well at least ten thousand syrian refugees for at least a week have been stuck on the syrian side of the syrian turkish border and this is because ankara is simply unable to process the growing numbers of people who are fleeing syria to turkey there are already eighty thousand syrian refugees inside turkey and who was afraid that these figures could swell to at least half a million now and has been complaining that the international community is not doing enough to help it and to this indeed it is calling for a so-called safe zone or a buffer zone to be created inside syria now what we understand is that such as zone would extend some twenty kilometers inside syrian territory but the problem is that to create any kind of humanitarian zone you need to have a no fly zone in which it certainly suggests foreign intervention and there has been a lot of criticism about this from the international community certainly the united nations security council has not given its nod when and where brought this up in

the past but we do understand that anchor is going to ask the u.n. security council later this month to create a buffer zone it is highly unlikely that russia and china will give its nod but certainly we are witnessing a growing humanitarian crisis at the same time we know that the head of the international committee for the red cross is in damascus they are meeting with syrian officials who are trying to find together some kind of way of assisting these refugees and resolving the situation now paul you've recently visited a massive refugee camp in jordan tell us what kind of conditions are these people living in. what we've heard for quite some time from humanitarian organizations that the situation in these refugee camps is a crisis last month the month of august some one hundred thousand refugees crossed over from syria into jordan into iraq and into turkey this is the largest number of syrian refugees in one month to meet the country since the crisis storm. last year

march in jordan itself we're looking here at one hundred eighty thousand refugees who are already in the country and the authorities there just like and able to cope jordan has its own lack of water at the same time there have been various incidents where some of the refugees have had clashes with security police who prevented them from leaving the camps now it's been quite some time in those camps talking to some of these refugees and i can back up from firsthand experience what they as well as what humanitarian organizations are saying what the refugees told me is that the sanitation is far from satisfactory that very often they are standing in queues for hour was waiting for food there are not enough tense to go around people are speaking on the streets i spoke to a number of women who were complaining of sexual harassment one person to have put it the best he told me that him and his family had fled syria to escape it did but here in the refugee camps they were dying a slow death at the same time there are concerns that you just need

a spark to erupt into a flame there are concerns particularly from the jordanian authorities that they could be rioting we've heard this warning go out today there are also concerns that they could be further clashes so the main concern at the moment is that the situation is so volatile you could lead to even bigger humanitarian catastrophe all right paula slayer thank you for that report on updates with syria and turkey's border thank you. and more for or you for you on the crisis now in syria we have from tel aviv to brussels to speak to political analyst polo ralph. follow thanks for taking the time to join our to you today now to deal with a massive influx of refugees turkey wants u.n. buffer zones inside syria which would require some military intervention do you see that happening. many certainly something that needs to establish

in order to avoid a major problem on its border and of course turkey is also towards the solution but a consistent american suggestions that go in that direction because this would be a way to establish a limited no fly zone on the on the neary a necessary to protect the of refugees at the same time of the beginning of an intervention which is moscow some of these humanitarian imagines he of course the cost for turkey would be quite high to move in that direction. we have to remember that yesterday is very much under the grip of the united states being a nato member. turkey has to consider the side effects with the relations to russia and to iran with a love for the relations. have ruined

a little bit as compared to some months ago we have seen also the absence of its normal my movements are meeting. a few days ago. these signals that it is really under pressure from the u.s. so most of it would go ahead with requesting such a no fly zone and a buffer zone for the for the refugees apollo i think you'll agree with me that on card it does have close ties with the u.s. i mean do you see washington's hand or stamp any tension between syria and turkey. oh yes indeed he has shifted its policy initially the policy was that the. approach. to work. as a proxy of the united states in the area and it's much more. so. then as it was before so it's clear that there is

a media reaction which it was not. moreover the latest news which on the whole for top three was possible voice of the president. some some. of what is going on in the leadership in turkey at the moment and i also want to draw your attention to the free syrian army that says there rebels are saying they will start targeting civilian airports in damascus and aleppo now with assad relying heavily on air power to power the rebel strongholds how will that change how the conflict develops. well if this happens of course assad will have to respond using more massively air force but this would increase the possibility of a foreign intervention with the possible extension of the no fly zone all over the country. know very well that if they start. to be

seen. from the government of syria and therefore these it's collated for level where in the security council may be easier to convince. russia and china to accept a no fly zone over syria probably very briefly we are running out of time now the u.n. will confirm lock their birth officially as the new envoy to syria later on today even though he has said on monday his mission to end the conflict is quote nearly impossible what kind of peace do you think there will be. well. it's very difficult to say what kind of peace but certainly the parliament talking is that there is a signal that goes to words. which is that of an intervention but usually he has been involved in other cases around the world as a last resort for. before coming to. the

intervention. thank you for time political analyst there paulo phone there live from brussels. all right heading to another one of our top stories this hour polling stations are about to open in canada's french speaking region of combat or provincial government elections latest opinion polls suggest there are three frontrunners however the pro independence party qual was looking to be moving ahead artie's an associate looks at what's driving separatist mood. gloomy economic times attracts social instability and uncertainty and what tomorrow will bring for canada's mostly french speaking province of quebec that means agitation for separation is stirring yet again as voters head to the polls it's a three way fight to be the dominant force in comebacks parliament with emotions running high came back as one hundred eighty four billion dollars in debt and has

population would support a split the new found was over could back comes after months of student union protests raging amid summer and spring tens of thousands of students have made their ways out onto the streets and shown their public outrage with clashes with police making news headlines across the world how canada in quebec would fare without each other is a matter of fierce debate among experts we might now be much closer to finding out and stacy churkin our moscow. a little past quarter past the hour here in moscow time for some more international stories and very. cambodia is set to extradite godfried who are co-founder of the file sharing website the pirate bay who was arrested there last week and international warrant in wharves name was issued in january by his native sweden after he failed to show up for the start of his one year jail term wark and his pirate bay callings were sentenced in two thousand and nine and ordered to pay four and

a nato training in two thousand and four but was later sent back to azerbaijan armenia reacted by suspending diplomatic relations with hungary armenia and azerbaijan have been at all odd since the war between ethnic nations in one thousand nine hundred ninety one over the. plate. and america the election war of words between republicans and democrats is heating up ahead of november's presidential vote barack obama's party is convening to formally nominate him as their candidate and hit back against criticism from their opponents republican mitt romney's camp has accused the incumbent leader of failing to deliver the promised results on tackling high unemployment and recovering from recession but the democrats claim the country is better off now than when it was when obama stepped into office the president's currently tied with his challenger in public polls some observers doubt either man can change things for the better.

their way to think about what's happening to. and essentially the north atlantic coalition in general is that things are getting very very much worse somewhat slow and if president obama were reelected they would get much worse continued slow rate and if president if there were a president romney that would get much worse at a quicker rate i mean that's essentially the way to look at it the shift of money and power from the bottom to the top would accelerate under romney the condition for working people for women for. you know communities of color that are subject to massive incarceration for. countries abroad that are plagued by drone strikes we get much worse under mitt romney and they're already going to get quite bad under president obama. don't forget you can always find our stories at our team dot com more news and in-depth analysis available to you twenty four seventh's

of recession after a strong performance earlier this year the swiss economy contracted zero point one percent in the second quarter as exports to the euro zone fell that's the first drop since the third quarter of two thousand and eleven when the swiss national bank compose the franc ceiling to help protect the economy. and now let's continue to take a look at how currencies are doing this hour when it comes to the euro the list say it's moves in against the u.s. dollar and that's of course as pressure mounts those talking earlier on the e.c.b. to take action and when it comes to the ruble it's game again so both major currencies i mentioned the ruble so might as well take a look at how the russian markets are performing in here it's been a volatile trading session from a very early start of the morning with that now it's in positive territory the r.t.s. is gaining a half a percent and the vice legs just lost their it's flat pretty much and of course one thing that is helping a stronger well prices which is what i wanted to talk about and that's after supply destruction is in the gulf of mexico off the hurrican side with the alliance with
