of could fall and as matter those marching to take. part of the. step by step activists from the fifteen m. movement hope to make europe a better place the point of it is to inform people that might not be informed. about things that they can do in their local government and to find out what problems they're having in their local government in their in their in their small towns and to help them come come up with solutions we have reunions every evening we get to the to a village we meet with the locals and they tell us what's going on in their town. the organization was born from the protest marches in spain where more than twenty percent are jobless and youth unemployment is painfully over forty percent the highest in europe it's these numbers that drove thousands of to madrid streets in may now the financial foot soldiers are beating a path to brussels some other countries their problems are.

little system and you're convinced people power works if it's loud enough people are realizing that we do have power to change things in a certain way and basically we just have to get on the streets and make our voices heard so the idea is to go to where the. kind of well the central european parliament and all the things that the side in fossils. particularly to to basically protest that we're not having our human rights respected in the place where this is on the side and it will take them two months to march the fifteen hundred plus kilometers to reach brussels where the last thing on their mind will be putting their feet up greece portugal spain people those in their jobs and their homes and while the politicians in these countries insist this iteration could get better called on people believe current economic policies of the eurozone lead down the road to nowhere in a godless carty spain. economics writer patrick young told r.t.

because of europe's contagion is high level on the willingness to be decisive. the european union's bailout fund is on the verge of running out of money as soon as one of those major economies such as spain or italy to fault the public is being kept in the dark it is being sent a lot of messages from the political classes that don't really hold up to the stark reality of markets governments need to step in they need to restructure the market and we actually need to see that even the word defaults in other words some of the forms help people cost for the building tough to be restructured and ultimately some here in ma stand up with the banks no one in the euro zone wants to cure the problems they simply want to throw affectedly aspirin to cure an appendicitis annoy everyone is gradually getting the appendicitis throughout the euro zone and unfortunately the way to cure appendicitis is actually surgery. or repentance for

12:07 am
following two and a half days of intense deliberation the fifteen members of the u.n. security council finally came to a consensus on the text of a presidential statement surrounding syria all members of the security council adopted the presidential statement which first and foremost calls for an immediate end to all violence and urges both sides of the violence and conflict to drain immediately the security council presidential statement also condemns widespread violations of human rights and the use of force against civilians by the syrian authorities it calls on the syrian authorities to fully respect human rights and to comply with international law the un security council force is issuing this presidential statement following more than four and a half months of violence in syria that is when anti-government protesters first took to the streets back in mid march to call for the resignation of the syrian president now as
12:08 am
a result of this presidential statement russia's position is being used to be that there should not be any overextension pressure put on the syrian government such as sanctions and the council also believe that it was better to put a statement out rather than a resolution russia has said and continues to believe that this issue should be resolved in the form of dialogue trying to get both parties to come together and speak rather than taking sides one way or another version russian ambassador to the united nations to tell the churkin said that the security council is still working under the shadow of events surrounding libya as our viewers may remember that the security council adopted a resolution allowing for a no fly zone over libya and the u.s. and european countries started with what is now a military intervention in libya russia china and many other council members believe that the text of. this resolution was taken advantage of manipulated
12:09 am
misinterpreted the hope that this statement issued by the international community will help both sides come to the table and try to use dialogue rather than weapons or violence to accomplish some type of compromise. well despite backing the united states and on syria the u.s. is now calling for a new tougher sanctions against a mask this assad's regime is already under a set of american and e.u. penalties investigative journalist webster tarpley told r.t. the worst was a syrian regime change to cement its influence in the arab world. international importance of syria is great it's very large if the syrian government were to fall through a cultural revolution or a destabilization or a civil war of the kind that the u.s. is pushing he would immediately have hezbollah in lebanon totally isolated they would be deprived of their strategic depth and their logistical backup iran would

lose its only significant ally in the region among the larger governments at least this would have a tremendous transformational effect for the whole huge and i think in the bad way would make it more unstable syria along with libya right now are the areas where the future of the governments of the middle east is being decided. all artes been closely following developments in syria from the start our reporters were there before the violence began and there firsthand accounts are on our side so you can get the full picture at r.t. dot com. of female suicide bombers are a rare phenomenon in the middle east and even among palestinians where such missions aren't used against israeli policies raja's policy or spoke to one

a palestinian woman who was captured before she detonated her device as she says she's learned a lot from the dangerous experience turning violent thoughts into a peaceful mission. this thirty seven year old palestinian mother doesn't attract much attention when she walks down the street but she's walked a long and difficult path from would be suicide bomber to peacenik it wasn't so long ago that she felt could see it was planning to strap explosives to her body and blow herself up in an israeli supermarket american father of the. old father and told them i needed all the equipment but they just laughed and said you're joking i said if you don't give it to me and how much will they said think about it for a month with me and then they called me a month later and said ok everything is ready for you. because the second intifada the palestinian uprising and already two of chivas teenage cousins had been killed by israeli soldiers while her brother was serving eighteen years in prison for his

part in a suicide mission well i am a mother and i love my life but i want to do well because the israelis destroyed a receipt is in order to destroy their arrogance female suicide bombing is relatively new in the palestinian world wafa idris a twenty eight year old divorced paramedic from ramallah became the first woman to blow up in jerusalem in two thousand and two ten more women have since followed in your footsteps one of them is a woman that committed suicide in. restaurant she saw her fiance being killed in front of their eyes so she was really pushed to that. point that should what the thought to end her life explodes agreed that the reasons are drivable mitch become a suicide bomber are complex his anger and bitterness towards the israeli occupation forces is also the patriarchal nature of palestinian society according to you and not book which is written several books on the subject here women suspected of speaking with a man before marriage can be thrown out or even killed by the families. it doesn't
12:13 am
that would be true in such a society they feel this is the way to get rid of women and through let them serve a problem with their dignity and honor and without really their families but the irony is that while these women are held by some as martyrs many religious leaders are reluctant to send their daughters to the front line as bombers and although islam condemn suicide explain shaikh mohammed it's acceptable for him to come in isolation and occupation if there are some groups or governments in. we can't keep our territories that we are. we have to fight against these invasions sheaffer says her reasons were both political and personal she was spit up with the bombs falling around her and ashamed that after just two years of marriage her husband had run off with another woman life had simply become too much
12:14 am
the plan was simple people was going to pretend to be pregnant and high fifty feet pounds of explosives and any maternity dress she was going to come here to natanya and israeli town not far from the home and blew herself up among israelis suicide bombing the kind of a character doesn't. it we should be all women there is no excuse absolutely no excuse at all but her plan was foiled by a palestinian informant tipped off the israeli army chief or was sentenced and spent six years behind bars now back in. she says she regrets it and devotes her time to telling his story to both israelis and palestinians in the hope that both sides can come to be to understand the if the lies are you know how this years later my donor and for me who i was going to leave her with and i said with grandma i didn't understand of the time how much she and my parents would have suffered then i understand now i know that blowing myself up wouldn't have changed anything
12:15 am
the only way to peace is for israelis and palestinians to work together had. a strong message from a rather surprising source told us here on t.v. to call him. a let's look at a more of today's main world news and afghanistan intelligence chief has been killed in a bomb blast what appears to be the latest in a string of assassinations targeting the top of the afghan officials over the past month alone and president karzai has a brother and one of his top aides were killed by insurgents it's how bad it is stuffing up its assault as the new us led coalition begins its withdrawal of combat troops. by egypt's former president has the by the charges against him on day one of his trial of allegedly ordering protesters to be killed the conviction i could see hosni mubarak sentenced to death the eighty three year old is being tried alongside his two sons and top aides who were accused of corruption was forced out

of their brief revolution which saw around eight hundred fifty protesters killed. japan's trade minister plans to sack of three senior officials in charge of nuclear power policy as a result of the much disaster the minister also intends to step down because of mistakes made by his department while vowing a major personnel overhaul there have been long running allegations of the. we have for a breath of fresh air in our more in a few minutes. what makes. a more region special well we've been here finding out what we need and the rest of the place not seen in just a few minutes. shari'a law is known for its hardline approach to race in

a free society from abstention to amputation and now islamists are drawing to would force their severe code of conduct in london authorities the rabbits of discovery. so we are headed for that baseline. is unstoppable in europe stoning for adultery cutting off hands for stealing death of renouncing islam this group of men is trying to enforce shari'a law in the u.k. they started a campaign to make certain areas of london and other cities islamic law controlled zones starting with walthamstow east london simply because the good of evil because of islamism targeted to the most little muslim community also looking to believe that was suspended together trade according to the sharia was all the problems according to the sharia but he will police themselves for logic start hopefully one day try to summit governments which will have authority look at the security locally and you avoid often looking choudhry and his friends are fly posting parts
12:18 am
of london with large muslim populations they want to ban drinking gambling and playing music and they say they've got bands of young men ready to patrol and in full shari'a law by any means you know that enforcement will not initially be in on the level of inviting and forbidding virgin it is one of the capabilities to be what you say traditionally evil like pornography a prostitution should do so. by that we think of course i believe the pressures that are needed most should be run up to the area these muslims say british society is broken rippled with drugs crime and prostitution because of that they firmly believe members of the communities they're targeting will welcome shari'a law but the word of the street about the campaign tells a different story comes down so if you don't like the laws of the place you live find somewhere where you do appreciate the locals and all of these things are completely legal in this country so this is not indira pakistan this is our own
