we sufficiently tortured you to agree good how would. the chief evergreen lawyer killed. syrian and to this report more protested deaths as russia urges the un sigebert slides into schools to avoid a repeat of libya's chaos if just that. israel all arises its special forces using the steam protestors as they prepared for margins of court of the un big dependence claiming it's to prevent bloodshed. the gas impasse ukraine about pedals a big threat of taking russia to court to force prices down moscow says it will stand its ground all the already signed deal.

a very warm welcome to you this is our live from moscow new deaths are being reported in syria as the head of the international red cross meets the country's senior officials he's in damascus discussing the humanitarian side of the conflict which has claimed in for two thousand lives meanwhile russia is rallying members of the un security council to encourage the sides to stop violence and start negotiations the kremlin believes president assad has worked to change the situation on the ground through reforms in his efforts to credit let's get some perspective on this now from a. man who sees a political science professor at paris west university and on the phones it's a gallon many thanks for being with us here on our c as i was saying russia is warning against encouraging the opposition in boycotting dialogue with the

government so who's behind holding these two sides apart do you think. well obviously you know there's a divide between nato and russia on this issue and one should really separate two types of issues there's the ethical issue and the political issue the ethical issue is. as as a teacher as killing people and a significant number of people protest and syria but then the political issue is what game you play in order to use this situation and of course we can suspect that nato countries are quite happy with their success in libya and they would like ricky can syria all the this time it's very unlikely as i can see russia or even china not vetoing the security council resolution so they look game is different this time and. when you mention libya their last week.

imposed an oil embargo against syria and want to further steps that the five month crackdown didn't start this that measures like that did prove someone in effect did in libya say do you think they could work in syria. well actually sanctions in general do not work because countries always find ways to go around the sanctions and so on this time as i think a military intervention because what happened in libya was a military intervention is unlikely because russia will veto it if the security council. and they took in not act in syria in the same way as you did in libya. but there are there are some similarities all the same but is there is. obvious dissatisfaction with the regime which is why just by and some good trees die trying to make use of it but in a very strange way from an ethical point of view because the sanctions would start only to go on with production of oil although they would be banning the

importation. so it's not quite logical and most probably syria will find different outlets who are. here and i think the political issues ahead do behind ethical considerations kuwait will start in libya and well let's talk about some oil now there were an embargo took immediate effect a few days ago didn't it but italy has insisted that each country's for fill their obligations on existing contracts and still mid november why the delay do you think if the need of pressure is so were tense. precisely because you know agreement if it will pressure you it is a statement from a practical point of view most probably italy you cannot get oil from other sources very rapidly and so it's. we have two different messages which are not quite consistent. probably isn't

a difficult situation so little. you know order to help italy import oil from other countries. it's not connected with the situation there. in libya now rebels there or rather the the n.t.s.b. the national transitional council playing that oil production is to restart shortly do you think that is in any way leads to why the e.u. is now calling for such an abrupt halt on syrian oil imports were going to take some time before production is back to normal in libya but obviously the countries that led the attack on the libyan regime also not the regime whether all sorts of benefits from the situations or mostly france and britain are going to benefit in terms of production and are contracts and so on. the levy could be too hasty because. it would not start being very productive and you're maybe end of next year

. and if they were an embargo on syrian oil today of course they would be short but finally certainly part of the question in every single one of these situations is every time the west or other countries other parts of the world talk about a humanitarian intervention the question that needs to be asked is why there is a humanitarian intervention circle in some countries but not in others for example in bahrain the people wanted to get rid of their regime budge since it was so close in the u.s. there was no question of a humanitarian intervention and there is no question of the humanitarian tragedy is saudi arabia no question of humanitarian intervention to help the palestinians so the humanitarian question cannot be lost political and economic questions and that applies to syria as well where the regime of course is ugly but of course it is

really put it syrians themselves to decide what to do with their regime and they don't want and in order to avoid further bloodshed maybe negotiations would be a good idea and certainly not bombing by outside forces which always leave very situation good for economics maybe but certainly not good for the people in these various countries. as you say the regime is our glee in syria human rights abuses have aired sake in place intervention is necessary in that country surely well no i don't think so because intervention always creates a mess and it put a group alleges some groups but if you look at libya for example it's not really a liberation most of the people heading the council worked with the kind of the regime for years they just abandoned the regime in february indeed the west was in

bed with until recently selling weapons into. legion's and so on so. we need to in the west but it's true of the other powers as well cooperate with very nasty regimes there are interventions only excuse to get moments and there are no interventions and some countries where the people also want they want to get a big government but for economic and military reasons it's not only interests of the west or other powers so there's no intervention might be irate so the real motive for intervention is certainly not too many curious it may be military it may be economic might also be in the and there was a big american which was also were so you have to find the political and economic and military interests before you start believing in humanitarian reasons because most in all so-called interventions humanitarian interventions. there is another reason which is far more important aka pain is there

a professor of political science at university and not there that informs thank you thanks thoughts but thank you. but i will serious struggle a dry exam let's see how it's impacting on the people of the stricken country r.t. that in a good news because there has been missing those of the sun head sank so. the deal is a master barber of the small his shop was floor sing until it all ended in the snip . in the grocery store with congress forest or in the corridors away from damascus but now the flow has come down a little while first came the unrest then the crackdown then the west quickly stepped in but sanctions purpose of that is to put the economic pressure on the chief of political stop the bloodshed and to help the people of syria to achieve the magician aspirations at first all major credit card transactions were stopped earlier this month but that mainly affected foreign tourists because syria runs and

so on payment system. and those with syrian accounts didn't feel the pinch however of the e.u. when the us are tightening their grip by posing oil embargo on damascus so will that have any probable effect on the people here. of course sanctions will have a negative effect on syrian economy it's a diversified economy with a stable which gives it a certain immunity against these sanctions. and this is not just government gloss in the face of impuls adversity syrian opposition figures are also unconvinced but for a different reason. the syrian government have chosen and no matter what measures are taken against them they continue that route. so it's are sold as a precise weapon to hit the regime where it hurts but syrian. too blunt a tool and it's the people who will suffer the most when you are talking about.

what we call it it would be in my life as a senior citizen. but while the power dealers of the west in syria trade insults and blows for syrian workers like i do the daily battle is to keep his modest livelihood together while hoping for the best isn't girls r t damascus syria now over in their lives here the old regime may have been toppled but the fighting showing no sign of letting up the rebels say they've done i'm not talking with the latest from the front line in the hunt for kind of as his loyalists remain determined to the. israel allow security forces to shoot at palestinian protesters who are preparing to march and support off their bid for statehood at the u.n. later this month tel aviv claims it is trying to prevent bloodshed by arming settlers in the west bank for self defense policy there was across developments. in

some quarters there is talk of a interferometer that some will say will be as bloody and as violent as the first two settlers of whom there is some three hundred thousand living in a land that has some two and a half million palestinians in the west bank are bracing themselves for violence as is the israeli army and the israeli police now for several months the israeli army has been preparing in an operation called operation seeds and it's now in the final stages of putting the finishing touches in place to this and we're being told that they have the most hated resigned around if we settlement in the west bank and what this means is that palestinians who approach that red line will be shot at by soldiers who have commissioned to do this so now there also has been intensive training in terms of security groups in the settlements they have been participating in the roles that the army's been undergoing safety and provided so i'm going to aid with the water cannons as well as with tear gas canisters also

being told that some twenty million dollars has been spent on training of the police alone there twenty eight thousand police officers have been mobilized around the country one of the focal point of bellevue watching is jerusalem which is where many fear most of the violence could erupt on saturday we saw a lot just protests in this country's history where some four hundred thousand demonstrators took to the streets of ten cities here in tel aviv was one of the focal points a number of speakers a number of artists address the crowd they spoke about making history they said really that this was a turning point in the history of this country what protesters have been demanding for the vision part of two months is the social issue just as really what they're saying is that the netanyahu government needs to be focused on issues of security and focus on the internal problems problems such as the high cost of living in this country and this is a criticism netanyahu is facing of criticism that he is standing too much time on

issues. international agenda rather than addressing real domestic concerns here at home just this past week aims to be expelled the israeli ambassador and for all military cooperation between both countries the relationship between israel and egypt is at an all time low after israeli fire mistakenly killed a number of egyptian border guards so with that kind of regional isolation and certainly in the context that it's just several weeks before palestinians will be appealing to the un recognizing that unilateral declaration of statehood there is a lot of concern that what is happening on the international stage is really becoming an excuse for the netanyahu government not to address real concerns of people have yeah i mean talking to protesters they accuse netanyahu of being half the are being responsible and of being out of touch with what people in israel are concerned about. ok to libya now where rebel forces are waiting for the green light to cross one of the last remaining pockets of resistance by colonel gadhafi

supporters rebel negotiators say ceasefire talks in the town of bani walid have broken down but the country's interim government is there still hope for a peaceful solution the national transitional council says two of colonel sons who have been blocking the surrender of bani walid have now left the area unclear number of get out. in the town a one hundred fifty kilometers from tripoli they've been given until saturday to lay down more or less i mean you're standing in that it's hometown of served in several other areas. of course is the back or for burning that could prove decisive so they've been preparing for this operation for quite a long time with nato helping them clean cas towards warming facilities in the area anywhere lead has always been known as a stronghold and people from this area since the beginning of this conflict here in

libya been fighting against rebels all across the country and have been dying for. all the time been supporting gadhafi who has provided them with a very good emission and the. weaponry so that's clear that it will not be easy for the rebels to take control over these areas while they need is actually could darky who has been known and well. not surprisingly remains. number one priority is thought to be right now with his sons in this area and this is. one more reason to take control over those areas are some discourse in the national transitional council has repeatedly been claiming recently that tripoli is now secure and it's not safe there. we're working hard to try to restore order in the country on the territory now controlled technically by national transitional

council but we see on the ground actually makes. that they are successful so far apart from the humanitarian challenges this country actually is the currently facing such a severe shortages shortages of water food medicine fuel politically situation is very unstable and it's quite unclear who is actually controlling tripoli right now this think she is full of armed people with unclear gender many of them very young with little knowledge of how to use weapons and it's quite unclear who is controlling them. scuffles broke out between protesters and police outside a courthouse in cairo where the trial of former president hosni mubarak is resuming hundreds of demonstrators and the relatives of people killed during the rising attempted to break through the main gates and gain access to the courts to senior

measures and russia is completely confident that justice is on its side and it has every legal grounds to protect itself in court and it is called that in that should a new lawsuit go ahead that russia would win that's certainly the situation has got many warring in europe that there would be another gas disruption that there would be another disruption of supplies into the european continent but we've heard a lot of assurances coming from moscow that the should and the other called conflict arise between moscow and then russia would be able to use other alternative routes to distribute the gas through european concert and that's clear statement which we've been hearing from moscow over the last several weeks. what is here now from. the business seems from about how the markets and energy industries react seem to will have been saying brink here of you know one of the analysts saying well as though they have been some positive changes bought the conflicts in stealth mode as many analysts say there are still a little thorny issues that have to be considered and. here seems to be have given
