a very warm while can see this is also a lie from moscow now thousands of anti-government protesters have taken to the streets across syria after friday prayers several people all said to have been killed after security forces apron fire despite the government's valen not to shoot at the demonstrators the international pressure is mounting on the syrian authorities over the political crackdowns at least eight hundred are reported killed and thousands detained in the team on the rest of the e.u. and the us of imposed sanctions against syria with washington seemingly debating whether the eleven year rule of president bashar al assad is norful as also his gammage can reports many believe the u.s.

is laying the foundations for drastic action. against the regime. who is a legitimate international leader and who is not it seems america will decide a white house source said the obama administration is edging closer to declaring assad's ruling syria illegitimate and that it would be just the first step we will continue to work with our international partners in the e.u. and elsewhere on additional steps to hold syria responsible for its gross human rights abuses sounds familiar united states is helping to lead an international effort to defer the turks further violence put in place unprecedented sanctions to hold the gadhafi government accountable when the u.s. says it's going to hold someone responsible expect action once the u.s. has officially declared the syrian government illegitimate. it it

would open the door. true various steps taken to remove that government but the south proclaimed position of the us as the world's policeman and judge of which government is legitimate or not doesn't sit well with everyone. else now against the. president. and government we gentlemen are not to be a minority americans go after swearing that it was some of the u.s. long time allies like the yemeni president seem to be intimidated by the zest of the white house to act as the arbiter of who holds power in the world. are you president of the united states and president of the world when can get a government atrocities in different countries in the middle east and north africa the us claims the higher moral ground clearing human rights is the basis for its involvement but the critics say this is a smokescreen for the real reason for interference you know sourcing and their

d.n.a. of us policy it all over and work on our. place. in italy. or saudi arabia perhaps the most. you cross. america's self-proclaimed humanitarian involvement has led it to take sides in the libyan civil war the us has pledged extensive support for the rebels there senior political figure representing believe the end transitional national council mahmoud jibril has leave been studied in the u.s. three years is now back in washington asking for money from could duffy's frozen assets i am currently drafting legislation at the request of the state department and the administration that will authorize the transfer of available cash assets to the council so that they will have available money it will not come from the

american taxpayer it will come from colonel qaddafi itself newly released weekly leaks cables trolled the u.s. had been funneling money to syria's opposition for several years now but some say the help comes with strings attached nobody gives away money for nothing or arms and the us sees the opportunity of putting in a friendly pro-american. government responsive to american interests the coalition efforts in libya have reached a dead end with the country now in military stalemate in the meantime civilian casualties there continue to grow. analysts say foreign involvement in syria could trigger a much worse conflict syria's in the heart of the arab world and if it explodes or implodes it will affect all its neighboring countries iraq saudi arabia jordan israel lebannon. they're in they're all likely to get involved in

a collapsing or a war torn serious serious partnership with iran has long been irritating washington yet another reason say some to go after our side relying on iran as your best friend and. only strategic ally is not a viable way forward critics say the us takes on the role of policeman not based on its inherent altruism but rather of self-interest and the bigger question is whether those interests have made the wall safer or have destabilized it more i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. . the libyan government says eleven muslim clerics have been killed and dozens wounded by a recent nato air strike in the east of the country meanwhile a top libyan opposition official is in washington for talks with the u.s. administration on more support and possible recognition let's get more on this now for the case from spiked online magazine and it has many houses being with us now

the u.s. defense secretary robert gates has said that washington isn't clear on the exact makeup of the rebels in libya not despite millions of dollars already sent in aid to the on this issue what do you make of that as well robert gates said that he's cautious about understanding who makes up the opposition and third extents you know that caution is commendable compared to for example david cameron who has rushed in very jealously overzealously again and is decided to give the transitional national council of libya an office and sort of fully recognize them in britain i think is being cautious for the wrong reasons and i think no good reason to be cautious because this humanitarian intervention by the west in libya was very much a knee jerk reaction to what was going what was going on it wasn't a planned strategy it was a war without any real aims it was something that the west jumped into for reasons of moral grandstanding more than anything else about any real clear sense of who

they're doing it on behalf of who the rebels are and what they want to achieve from it so the other is the wrong reasons that you were talking about. yes i think while they were taking this kind of black and white picture that you know you had this theory and it's just a case of getting rid of him and i think it really underestimate they really underestimated the complexities of the situation and they're starting to discover this now but it's not just the three back to my point the reason i think they're being cautious for the wrong reasons here is because they're concerned about who they're dealing with from the rebels it's actually not not that they should have been asking these questions before they actually got into the conflict in the first place but actually because they're nervous there might be extremists in the mix they want to make sure they're dealing with the right people they say so basically what let you let's talk about the fact that there might be some so-called extremist factions within the rebels do you think it's right that these extremist groups are

being given a voice. i think the question is who gives them a voice and my big concern here is that what you have is the transitional national council of libya now completely orientated towards the west towards nato towards america they want to try and please so they want to try to get acceptance from obama they want to get acceptance from western leaders they're not looking towards the libyan people so when you get individuals like wahid who's currently in the states saying i will ensure that extremists have no say in the future of libya you think well why not you know everyone should have a voice if we want a democratic libya so why are you and who do you think you are to be talking to the west saying we're going to shut out certain voices already immediately what you have here are these kind of what ultimately a lot of these people are western cronies through basically kind of cozying up to the west kind of not turning to the libyan people for legitimacy but turning to the

west saying we're going to shut out before it is proved recognizes the leaders are problematic and once again it means that self-determination doesn't come from the libyan people it comes from this kind of political elite in libya who basically just trying to tell the west what it wants to hear in order to get recognition recognition has to come from the libyan people it can't come from the west and you talk about is it streaming functions and we've also obviously talked about the fact that robert gates has said that the u.s. is remaining cautious in understanding exactly who makes the rebels but washington has said that despite this lack of clarity it does know what he's capable lots. i'm sorry i missed the last point despite the fact that washington has admitted that it isn't exactly clear on who makes up the rebel forces in the air it does say that it does know colonel gadhafi and what he's capable lots. well again this

isn't just about removing the ogre it's not just about getting rid of gadhafi it's about bringing about a democratic libya which is very much a process called for by the people of libya it can't be given from a master without you can't form libya into democracy the west ham to sweep in like guardian angels and say we're going to remove the old because happy and give freedom and democracy to the libyan people it's something the libyan people need to take for themselves so yes gadhafi symbolizes the problem but all summit leaders solution doesn't come from the west removing gadhafi and i think it would be absolutely dreadful if this does end up killing gadhafi because gadhafi should be removed by libyan hands not by the west and what's very important here and i think one of the main issues with the situation that we see with libyan rebels at the moment is that with the west intervening as soon as the no fly zone was put in place it very much took the democratic initiative from the libyan people and put it

in the hands of western leaders and that's why of course you now see the situation where the rebel leaders from the transitional council are over inflated growth voted through all of the west trying to get approval from the west for legitimacy rather than from the libyan people and unless the libyan people are of a state must into their own hands and to struggle and to get rid of gadhafi and his cronies by themselves then what you get is basically an artificial leadership you get an artificial. rebels an artificial struggle western intervention is putting this struggle on whole and it's causing major problems in terms of libyan self-determination and i think also the major problem is that it's also going to affect the our ways in which our people in the region who are struggling for their own freedom are going to be situations they're going to view it for the lens that we might need western intervention giving again externally ok strong case from the

spiked online magazine many thanks for speaking to us from london. thank you very much. i also have you this hour the forgotten life of russian provinces. traditional pas times have been failing to hold the young people in the countryside but change could be around the corner to find out more in a few minutes here on our. russia has a clear thanks to the ice hockey while championship in two thousand and sixteen its main rivals denmark crane past the park without a fight you got this going off what you know many instead are here after the very last moments all rebuilding countries were stayed in this race but right just several minutes before the winning bid was announced then mark and the other contestant to train for so they said that they're just not really do for such a massive sporting event so russia one this big fair and square moscow and st
