what unity coming to life from moscow i'm marina joshie the un asking down the violence in syria urging an investigation into the bloody crackdown against anti-government protestors states also want a security council to put pressure on the country while washington is also considering imposing sanctions it's raising fears that syria could be the next leave you with a no fly zone and foreign airstrikes as our middle east correspondent policy leader now reports according to human rights weeks at least four hundred civilians have been killed in the last month of violence in the country and in the last few days and those since the lifting of the emergency bill some five hundred people have been arrested now the watch house is considering introducing a new legislation new sanctions against the regime in damascus as a form of punishment for this violent crackdown and these sanctions would include a travel ban. it would include an asset freeze or could have vision against doing

business in the united states and the hope is that you can countries would follow suit as it is members of president bashar assad and members of that regime have more assets in europe then they do in the united states in addition to this in another example of the increased diplomatic activity and the call for sanctions against syria we are seeing in the u.n. security council debate over a draft statement that goes for restraint and also contains the violence and it does set the stage for the eventual imposition of sanctions against the country its thirty backs a call by the un secretary-general ban ki moon for an investigation into the killings against this backdrop there is more and more concern being expressed by experts in the international community that not only the increased diplomatic activity against the country but also the possibility of a future intervention and that this will spark

a reaction from arab states in washington and in brussels i guess there are a lot of concerns about the fact that syria are like libya is part of an alliance and that the violence is very wide it begins in iran. elements in iraq's government are part of a syrian regime hezbollah in lebanon on hamas in gaza so if the international community or united nations or united states are going to apply to syria measures all of an economic meaning a direct intervention or political tremendous pressure what they may get in return is a reaction by the iranian regime by his boss and others what the consequences if nato and the u.s. step up operations in syria many fear could be the same consequences in terms of what we witnessing in libya and maybe witnessing an operation that's already on under go for several months and many fear that it could continue for months if not years really the situation in libya. it is

a parallel to what witnessing happening in syria today they were exposed to us suggesting that this could lead to the eventual supplying of weapons to the opposition in syria much the same as we saw in libya in libya we heard nato and the united states saying that they may be needed woman gadhafi is not a target now hearing some western powers saying that he is could the same parallel be informed with syria could bashar assad ultimately become a target and serve from some of the statements we hearing he could be hearing statements such as we stand countries need to stop the slaughter is killing his civilians and needs to stop so against the pretext of actually coming in and wanting to assist the local population and actually prevent if you use this terminology a slaughter the waste could be preparing the ground for foreign intervention in syria. you're there nato insists that the libyan government command center is a legitimate target and i wasn't trying to kill colonel gadhafi when they bombed it but are to consider because it is a tool better so as the coalition forces are seeking regime change under

a humanitarian guys. countries involved in the intervention in libya interpret un security council resolution one thousand seven hundred three in any way they want saying that's protection of civilians they're helping the rebels and they're hitting the first compound it's obvious that this mission is no longer humanitarian protecting one party to flick against there are other recall humanitarian. now in the countries where involved in this intervention by a party to a conflict a belligerent party it's easy to see why nato warns change in libya when the new regime is established a new leadership out of gratitude for the country will save them from. what you want to sign a new oil agreements and also will allow nature to set up its military base on the territory of libya these are the double standards of this intervention and i don't

understand why have an international law if everybody can interpret it any way they want. as coalition forces get deeper entrenched in the libyan campaign francis fearing retail on home soil it's already security with armed soldiers patrolling the streets the government says it's to prevent terrorism as daniel bushell discovers fear it is just one step closer to a police state. soldiers on the streets with machine guns this is crossing the cheaper route fifty of europe's most expensive anti terror program before it's what it called the growing terrorist threat the government claims troops make the public feel safer but that's not what people think they look a little bit dangerous they can. use the force and the other way there is a good fright in a bid to guard the. premier francois feel says troops are

required because france will mean libya threatens a terror attack at home you'll never find soldiers at shops tourist sites government buildings train stations airports schools and churches but exposed to the system doesn't even work in the main feature of terrorism is that it's impossible to foresee video pirouettes real targets is not to catch terrorists says one investigator but to monitor the public it's easier to persuade people that they could be a terrorist it's natural station it's easier then for people in france to believe well then they have a right to listen to my phone calls which they do they do do it they have a right to monitor my emails and facebook because they're only protecting us troops or only the visible parts or stores these can now read people's emails under a law passed quietly in february president sarkozy also signed

people scared of islam i can't agree islam is not a thing to be afraid of the only way to promote islam is to make people see the beauty of it if they're scared of it they will refuse it. but since the one nine hundred ninety s. more extreme forms of islam fought to come from outside russia have been growing floods. university staff are concerned at how impressionable some students have proved to be they say the region's muslim majority was not be made to feel alienated we need. to speak more about this alleged show with the russian federation i want government and all constitution all morse they. do not do anything against islam as itself radical islam isn't for to have a riot in the region until the second chechen campaign started in one thousand nine hundred since then although widespread fighting has died down the methods of small

send people off to the right stuff to understand the train so it really was a huge problem and we have to do is just look at the amount of convictions has been in u.k. courts and the amount of suicide bombers that either in the u.k. carried out suicide bombings abroad the numbers a frightening when i did research looking at the terrorist convictions between ninety ninety nine and two thousand and nine and you're looking at iraq hundred twenty people of the past three just in this country alone who've been convicted in british courts we always stress it's a very very small minority but of course it only takes a very small minority to create a huge problem and that is what we have in the u.k. and i think generally across western europe. r.t. dot com is where you'll find more on all our stories plenty else lined out the you tube let's take a quick look. sex sells but crime never pays in new orleans our investigation into
