coming up and how this is billed. as one pm in the russian capital you're watching our t.v. i'm maria joshing the u.n. asking down the violence in syria urging an investigation into the bloody crackdown against anti-government protesters ease states also on the 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 leader for the no fly zone and for an air strikes as our middle east correspondent policy reports. according to human rights groups at least four hundred civilians have been killed in the last month of violence in the country and in the last few days alone since the lifting of the emergency law some five hundred people have been arrested now the white house is

considering introducing new legislation new stanchions against the regime in damascus is a form of punishment for this violent crackdown the hope is that european countries would follow suit 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 was for restraint and also contains the violence and it does see the stage for the eventual imposition of sanctions against the country it's thirty backs of course 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 brussels i guess there are

a lot of concerns about before the syria are like libya is part of an alliance and their bias is very wide it begins in iran some 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 pressures what they may get in return is a reaction by the iranian regime by hamas by hezbollah and others what the consequences if nato and the u.s. step up their 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 be on the go for several months and many fear that it could continue for months if not years really the situation in libya is a parallel to what we witnessing happening in syria today they were experts who are

suggesting that this could lead to the bench and supplying of weapons to the opposition in syria in libya we heard nato and the united states saying that the libyan leader moammar gadhafi is not a target now we're hearing some western powers saying that he is could the same parallel be informed with syria so against the pretext of actually coming in and wanting to assist the local population and actually prevent to use this terminology a small to the waist could be preparing the ground for foreign intervention in syria. reporting there is only sending its jets to aid nato is mission in libya saying they will take part in targeted military action but artie's military contributors as bombings are harming civilians on both sides rather than helping them. italy has become the seventh member of the most the leader and club among the nato members who change part in humanitarian bombing twenty four seven zero really via the most important thing that

still deludes their native strategies and them masters in washington d.c. . that this prior to him an interior bombing escalation leave or be though believe it or participation we've poor to be there out there predator drone strikes possibly even with the introduction rather of being gunships the situation is not going to change dramatically and is not going to change the equation in levy and situation for a very simple reason because as any military prog can testify in any stalemate and particularly in libya the aerial campaign only intensifies the suffering of fleet b. and people on both sides and steadily degrades and ruins the

lead the economy and its infrastructure as coalition forces get deeper entrenched in the levy and campaign francis fear her tail on home soil it's already our security whether armed soldiers patrolling the streets the government says it's to prevent terrorism but as daniel bushell discovers it's fear it is just one step closer to a police state. soldiers on the streets with machine guns this is france's vision here at fifty of europe's most expensive time to terra program to fight what it calls the growing terrorist threats 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. it's a bit frightening to guard. the. premier francois feels his troops are required because france bombing 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 the experts say the system doesn't even work and the main feature of terrorism is that it's impossible to foresee pirouettes real target is not to catch terrorists says one investigator but to monitor the public it's easier to persuade people that there could be a terrorist here spectral station it's easy 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 really protecting us troops are only the visible part or storage fees can now read people's emails under a law passed quietly in february president sarkozy also signed a bill for police to tap phones without getting judges authorization to justify the

threatens our very survival we don't have the means to integrate those who are already here there is a lot is endless cultural conflicts you can be against immigration fights immigration suspend all immigration not immigrants as individuals i understand immigrants wants a better future i honestly say to them you can't find a better future ahead we're finding it hard to get a better future try own people as it is. the full interview is an era in just over an hour here on our team coming up in a few minutes why taking a bus can be the highway to hell arguments against the peril public transport in russia plus. russia's call to arms as military hardware rumbles through the streets of moscow in

preparation for next month's take to rid a commemorations. the north caucasus is russia's biggest worry when it comes to dealing with a breeding ground for terrorism worryingly recruits are not so hard to come by with the region's use into extremist ideology artie's town garden looks are the reasons why the plans to stop it. a busy day at university in russia's north caucasus these students are learning about arab culture and language they're trying to broaden their horizons so was seville sperber ramiele until radical islamists took hold on. through i saw the way his stare changed he became alienated from everyone the brainwashing teaches them to be ready for the next world so they stop paying attention to this one but the end of university he had started to take food to militant friends and hiding in seville warned him to stop it he left home forever as locals say he had gone to the forest yet. i already felt something

inevitable and sad was coming but i didn't know what to do i didn't have a chance to stop him when he left town for more chinos it was a month later the police surrounded a group of militants their data systems couple they were ready to surrender but their leader started shooting to provoke a deadly gun battle in which they all died including running in another of the region's capitals now take it's friday prayers at the city's main mosque but this is a muslim community living under a cloud three months ago the leader of the republican mufti was shot dead outside his home by muslim extremists. and as such i have had been a vocal critic of both your thirty's and the extremists saying there is corruption in the police and as in other spheres of society but it doesn't mean policeman to be shot dead or jeweler when their ideologists say they are there to make 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 are scared of it they will refuse it. but since the ninety nine times more extreme forms of islam for to come from outside russia have been growing for. 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 islam to show the russian federation our government our constitution all wars they. do not do anything against islam has itself were tical islam isn't thought to have arrived in the region until the second chechen campaign started in one thousand nine hundred nine since then although widespread pointing has died down the methods of small extremist groups bombings and shootings are political the question

nervously asked here now is whether the radicals ideology and methods islands of desperation or growing confidence don't bottom out. the people of britain my also be asking how to stop the spread of extremism after the u.k. was labelled as a central hub for terrorism classified u.s. documents seen by weekly say thousands of muslims have been radicalized in london's mosques terrorism our strabane simcox says this is no surprise and that numbers are reaching critical levels. the british security service and the government didn't do nearly enough to crack down on the very real extremist mosque that was the mosque in the late ninety's in the early part of the century that was because a huge problem so many of the high profile terrorists and islamist militants past thirty were able to train that abu hamza a very famous terrorist was able to 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 that painting u.k. costs and the amount of suicide bombers the fighter plane in the u.k. carried out suicide bombings abroad the numbers frightening and i did research looking at the terrorist connections between nine hundred ninety nine and two thousand and nine and you're looking at a real hundred twenty people out of past three just in this country alone who have been convicted in british courts we always stress it's a very very small minority but of course any 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 up for you to say that would love the. sex sells but crime never pays in new orleans our investigation into policing prostitutes is online. and the battle to save the shame of the world's attention may be turning elsewhere but workers at the stricken plant
