markets. find out what's really happening to the global economy with much stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines soon into cars a report. closing in on the syria countries threatening to build up pressure to stop the crackdowns against protests and what worries amount that it could bring about a libya style air offense. playing a fast and loose with liberty even from some governments playing for a campaign of fear by putting armed anti terror patrols on the streets following its escalating actions in libya and. the radical islamists taking root in russia's north caucasus look at how our stream is to rhetoric isn't winning over young minds .

with r.t. live from moscow it's not just off the chickpea welcome to the program the un has condemned the violence in syria and investigation into the bloody crackdown against unseat government protesters he was states also won the security council pressure on the country washington is also considering imposing sanctions it's raising fears that syria could become the next libya with a no fly zone and a foreign asterix as our middle east correspondent paula sleeve 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 sanctions against the regime in damascus is a form of punishment for this violent crackdown who is 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 a debate over a draft statement that calls for restraint and also condemns 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 and there is 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 the fact that syria like libya is part of an alliance and that of violence is very wide it begins in iran some elements in iraq's government

are part of the 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 their 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 and many fear could be the same consequences in terms of what we've witnessing in libya. and they have been witnessing an operation that's already be on the go for several months and many fear 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 eventually 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 been formed 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 slaughter waste could be preparing the ground for foreign intervention in syria. well italy is now sending its troops to a nato mission in libya saying they will take part in a targeted military action after use of military control so those 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 take part in humanitarian bombing twenty four seven overlay via the most important thing that still eludes the nato strategists and them masters in washington d.c. . that this private humanitarian bombing as coalition leave all be though believe

it or participation we've already there out there predator drone strikes are 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 leave here the aerial campaign only intensifies the suffering of people on both sides and steadily degrades and ruins the lead be an economy and its infrastructure. coalition forces get deeper entrenched in the libyan campaign france's fearing retaliation on home soil that's already upped security with

soldiers not patrolling the streets the government says it's to prevent terrorism as outings daniel social discovers its fate is just one step closer to a police state. soldiers on the streets with machine gun this is france is the chief here at fifty of your most expensive time to tear a program before it's what it called the growing terrorist raids 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 other way if there is a good friday with the guard. to the. premier francois feel says troops are required because france bombing libya threatens a terror attack at home you'll now find soldiers at shops tourist sites government buildings train stations airports schools and churches but the experts say the

system doesn't even work in the main feature of terrorism is that it's impossible to foresee. real targets is not to catch terrorists says one investigator but to monitor the public it's easy to persuade people that they could be a terrorist it's natural station it's easy variant for people in friends 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 thirty's canel read people's emails under a law passed quietly in february president sarkozy also signed a bill for police to tap phones with belts getting judges authorization to justify the invasion of people's privacy says one author so because he makes france's six million arabs a scapegoat he has to make them afraid thinking that there is an arab with

a bomb here their own. government recently branded muslims the problem and banned the muslim food. face veil some already mocks the brand and what they see is an arab witch hunt by going up in vocals and mini skirts there's also the law cost world workers continue to be laid off in the economic crisis v.g. pirouettes estimated prices eighteen billion euros each year enough to create a million new teaching jobs and embarrassed government and lists a choice to hire the amount. is very expensive and because an executive can move resources from one area to another quite quickly it's very difficult to find an exact figure critics like michele coleman have dubbed the video system vishy pierrette she was france's first in the second world war it spoiled and informed

people i'm told that it is the minority is. the french government today stands accused of doing the same to its own citizens the new bushell r.t. paris. france and italy according to temporarily bring about border controls to curb the massive spread of immigration from the middle east and north africa many of the refugees have tried to make their way into france to be reunited with their relatives the country's far right leader says the increasing numbers of foreigners are creating a social and cultural shift. so they say we're in a democracy but authorities refused to show the real figures on how many immigrants there are there are probably six to seven million listeners here already plus additional immigration on a massive scale each year this is an organized replacement of our population is threatens our very survival we don't have the means to integrate those who are already here there is though it's endless cultural conflicts you can be against

immigration fights integrations and all immigration are not immigrants as individuals they understand immigrants wants a better future here but i honestly say to them you can't find a better future here where. finding it hard to get a better future to our own people it is. and you can watch that interview in fulton about twenty minutes time here on our team also ahead for you in the program hear why taking the bus can be the highway to hell the investigates the perils of public transport in russia plus. as a military hardware rumbles through the streets of moscow preparation for next month's a victory day commemorations. for 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 youths being seduced into extremist ideology. looks at the reasons why and 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 it was sort of builds but until radical islamists took a hold on him. i saw the way his stare changed he became alienated from everyone the brainwashing teaches them to be ready for the next world saudi stopped paying attention to this one by the end of university he had started to take food to militant friends and hiding when sybil warned him to stop it he left home forever as locals say he had gone into the forest where. 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 home from what she knows it was a month later the police surrounded a group of militants their darkest times couple they were ready to surrender but their leader started shooting to provoke the deadly gun battle in which they all died including a mill in another of the region's capitals now chick 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 tricia cho had been a vocal critic of both your thirty's and the extremists saying there is corruption in the police as in other spheres of society but it doesn't mean that policeman are to be shot dead. 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 one nine

hundred ninety s. more extreme forms of islam thought to come from outside russia have been growing influence. 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 of a slap to show with the russian federation our government our constitution all wars they. do not do anything against islam as itself well to call islam isn't thought to have a riot in the region until the second chechen campaign started in one nine hundred ninety nine since then although widespread fighting has died down the methods of small extremist groups bombings and shootings a political the question nervously asked here now is where the radicals ideology and methods but ones of desperation of growing confidence on bottom r.t.

carried out suicide bombings abroad the numbers frightening and i did research looking at the terrorist convictions between nine hundred ninety nine and six thousand and nine and you're looking at a real hundred twenty people the times three just in this country alone who have been convicted in british courts to be always stress it's a very very small minority but of course it only takes a very small minority so you can create a huge problem and that is what we have in the u.k. and i think generally across western europe. a lot c dot com is where you'll find many more of all of our stories our in-depth analysis and opinions to you well that's a quick look now at the website and see what's reading for you right now and sex sells book crime but never pays in new orleans our first question into policing proficiencies online. the battle to save the fukushima the world's attention may be turning elsewhere of workers at the stricken college are still risking their lives to prevent complete disaster the developments are going to come there's also orphanages compared to reports on our you tube channel. if.
