against its function it government spending in favor of the military. for round up of u.s. cities authorities lose patience with occupy wall street protesters detaining dozens imposing a curfew and seizing belongings. welcome back you are watching the r.t.l. live from the heart of moscow russia's capital thomas and these are top headlines in an interview with russian television channel syrian president bashar al assad says he is willing to cooperate with all opposition parties that have emerged during the seven month uprising against his reign but he also raised questions about the true nature of the forces that are fighting against his regime. today

we have hundreds of soldiers police and security forces among the dead how were they killed during peaceful demonstrations or because some slogans being shot you don't know they were shot and this means we're dealing with armed people we don't know whether the weapons reach syria from israel or any other state that possesses such weapons but there is evidence of mines and grenades that were put in place is packed with civilians this led to casualties in a number of cases mines also targeted security personnel police officers and soldiers their work ace's of using anti-tank mines these are new and very dangerous facts because you know seven months down the line since the beginning of their people in syria we possess clear but not detailed information but the information obtained during the latest interrogation of terrorists shows there was arms smuggling to syria from neighboring states become pain was funded from abroad and we have a list of those who are responsible for this. through the assad also warned of the

west that intervening in his country will cause an earthquake but the terror of the middle east their statement comes as arab league demands. diplomatic skills mean more top syrian officials to promote dialogue between authorities and the opposition the rabbit out of nation says more than three thousand have been killed in the country since the start of protests in march and a call on the syrian leader to end of the violence but this against syrian writer and democracy campaigner michelle cooler thinks most people there don't want a military solution to the crisis. or against military intervention but it's a day tomorrow or in ten years' time even if the regime is deny late every one of us would still be against military intervention we fight for freedom and we don't want to add external slavery to our domestic law we don't want it to become a part of the struggle between the international and internal forces syrians are peaceful they want to try. under conditions of freedom and development and they

don't want to turn into a concentration camp for larger countries. with colonel gadhafi silenced for ever and his most influential son is now looking to hand him self over to the international criminal court where he's wanted for world crimes saif al islam claims he is innocent and threatens to reveal murky details of western leaders that dealings with his father are cheese i've read it explains. to son mark a deputy was a man three much more secrets which will supposedly he buried with him i think that there were tremendous sighs of relief all over capitol so in western europe this is somebody who cut all sorts of deals with the french but also the the british and the italians and to a certain extent the americans as well i think they did not want him put on trial for any greeks and i just bit surprised that he was captured alive if you very

quickly ended up here is returning from diplomatic exile was spectacular hugs handshakes and kisses from the heads of countries which denounced him it happens now silenced but the suspicion around those who laid out the welcome mat is far from buried i don't feel as though his very existence with him but he should deal with his constant repetition of those it's all rumor go away over seriously because that is not so the situation is fission probably grew triggs that mansion ironically interests wish they could reverse it were true veterans then british prime minister tony blair was instrumental in get that peace rehabilitation bringing him in from the cold in two thousand and seven the player didn't leave empty handed trade between flourished so did the cozy relationship it was six more secret meetings after player left off base his people denying they were about

releasing them look people might apple pass it on the granny or britain would lose its lucrative libyan deals i regret myself enormously that gadhafi was but should he should have been said to the international criminal court put on trial and forced to all its questions for all the terrible things he did and if it davidge the contemporary world lose all previous regimes leaders tough. we need to know. what is dark day with. some details of the murky dealings have already had merged claiming the reputation of one of britain's leading universities the london school of economics agreed a contract so big that the regime worth over two million pounds to educate hundreds was cheap to civil servants the director was forced to resign and now the university of tripoli is demanding the money back french leader nicolas sarkozy was never shy in greeting good data and even letting him pitches tend to nearly say

palace apparently for bankrolling sarkozy's path to the presidency so says this man the one who could still tell all that was he had go ahead because you must give back the money he took from libya to finance his electoral campaign we funded and we have all the details and are ready to reveal and. sign a good happy son and key right hand man reportedly ready to surrender to the war crimes court saif is going to have low information and now i think we're so used that tony blair intervened formed to help him get his dodgy ph d. degree from the london school of economics one. degree apparently was plagiarized there's a lot of things that have gone on there so you knows about it daphne's wanted to answer there is own actions in libya drawn out battle for control but it's what he could reveal about the diplomatic deals with his father is keeping the western power players sweating after bennett our team london. libya's national transitional

council which was never elected is now in power some of its members are. world lists and many of its fighters are said to have links to al qaeda middle east commentator thinks has now turned into a viable country. people have way too much faith in the m.t.c. which is quite obviously not in control of this situation on the ground in libya at the moment and in fact you can see the tension between the empty sea command and some of the more islamist led groups on the ground and in fact if you see some of the fighters on the ground they have the characteristics of islamist fighters that have a long. history of from afghanistan own words so this illusion that benghazi has full control on the ground is not actually correct and i would say that the events that we're seeing them could be personal could be their normal run of wars but maybe another party in libya could have presented that evolutionary explanation

that's their legitimate aspirations for change and then down in d.c. that still has a lot of former gadhafi associates and cronies within it so that's really the nub of the problem libyan resident alley are classy fled the city of syria days before colonel gadhafi was killed there he claims that nato has committed atrocities during its intervention which only helps to destabilize his country. they used every possible thing to make this so-called the revolution successful they used gunships. helicopters they used fighter is all sorts of weapons that. this was so they this was going. to be successful so they've killed so many people who succeed in this operational

side i don't think it's a success because if it was a success every libyan would have been so happy about it i doubt that very much there's a big divide in libya there's a huge gap. between libyans. i mean parts or partially because of. their feelings partly because. let's be honest and say partially because of gadhafi. but but the way they can get out of the way they treated him the way they bombed my city you. have a lot of civilians inside it who were killed as well i mean this is just. generates anger and generates revenge. which which is in the future would be the fuel of another war in libya which i think it will be sooner or later and now on to israel where recent airstrikes on gaza have

left at least ten palestinians dead the action came in response to rocket attacks on the jewish state that left one day it is the worst outbreak of violence and months and follows a successful prisoner swap deal between israel and hamas which is policy or brings us the details from tel aviv. one of the concerns people have is that among the hundreds of palestinian prisoners who are still in israeli jails and who still need to be released as part of that prisoner exchange deal that saw one israeli soldier returned to israel in exchange for more than a thousand palestinian prisoners many of the palestinian prisoners who still need to be released belong to the democratic front for the liberation of palestine and that is one of the sworn palestinian groups that has claimed responsibility for a number of these rockets that have been fired into israel in recent days so there are many people here saying that this does jeopardize that prisoner exchange deal and other people must a convenient excuse for the israelis not to release the hundreds of palestinian

prisoners that it is still committed to release as part of the deal they were more than twenty thousand people that took to the streets of tel aviv they were not surprised by the violence they see that this is something that has happened in the past and it is the government's way of detracting attention away from domestic problems in circular look at the international media coverage the international media was much more focus from what was happening in terms of security concerns and on israel's border with gaza and then on what was happening domestically here and this is exactly what protesters say they say that they want money to not be strained so much on me now on the defense budget for cuts they have to be made so that more money can be stated domestically and certainly this increase in violence and the government's response in terms of the fact that it is going to give gaza a harsh hand to tracks attention away from what people here say is the ongoing situation where they have very real demands that are more often than not overshadowed by the excuse of security concerns or choose closely reported forces

there and staying on the topic of tel aviv where a court has sentenced a former israeli soldier to four and a half years in prison for releasing classified military documents some of the lead files a detail military officials are proving the assassination of palestinians in the west bank but those claims are even being investigated. so that undermines israeli well. in this case a whistle blower blew a loud and disturbing whistle the military is violating international law and the directors of the israeli supreme court in carrying out assassinations in situations in which they are required to try to make an arrest and so the state attorney's office prosecuted the soldier but failed to seriously investigate the conduct revealed in those documents conduct which raises serious questions about rule of law and democratic system that pattern of behavior violating orders by the supreme court because of the supreme court said that that said you must try to arrest is part of a pattern of practice within the israeli system and it's something that's very

disturbing because when the army does not obey the orders by the supreme court the supreme court is actually more reluctant to issue those orders because no court wants to issue orders that are going to be ignored and then of course you have a serious threat to the rule of law because in a democratic system the army is of course supposed to listen to what usual system tells and tells them to do. scores of the demonstrators supporting the occupy wall street movement have been arrested across the u.s. riot police in denver moved in detaining activists who refused to leave their camp earlier police there used pepper spray to disperse the crowds at least sixty people were arrested in the states of texas oregon california and california actually police went in to enforce curfews removing protesters belongings it was nature threatening demonstrations in new york after some of the city there was hit by unseasonal snow blizzard however activists say they are ready to withstand harsh weather conditions to make the point and as damage as you can report from

washington the occupy protesters there are serious and their determination. the peaceful nationwide movement that turned violent overnight in oakland. police attacked protesters with tear gas stun grenades. flash bombs improbable it's we've been there for weeks we have been taking care of ourselves there's been no incidents with police and they came in one of the most terrifying shows of force that i've ever seen in my entire life and they came in and they either flushed everyone out of the camp or west of them and then they began to systematically rampal all of the tents put them apart and this new people really really angry a former u.s. marine an iraqi war veteran was seriously injured by a tear gas canister that police fired. footage of the wounded veteran and police brutality spread quickly the shock of it galvanizing the nation and the occupy

movement across the country. google says the company received requests from local law enforcement agencies to remove you tube videos of police brutality they did not comply the stronger of course of the response five establishment the stronger the movement will get the larger the protests will become. the protesters through these past six weeks have been careful not to taint the movement's reputation with violence but a march report suggests that this move has been almost entirely peaceful but some in the u.s. media use the night of violence you know clinch to portray the protesters as radicals and more violence from the occupiers a lot of these people or professional educators a good number of these people are radicals no doubt about it you might ask how radical was this elderly woman in a wheelchair who was tear gassed by police or jasper father of two who's working on his ph d. at the university of california berkeley you know they characterize you know it's

a big. respected well. marginal and radical fringe in order to discredit it this moment really is about all americans it's not just about people that make a story we've been poor this is about now it's to the middle class that is starting to feel the impact of corporate greed that has run this country for so long as the movement grows bigger and more structured it's becoming harder to ignore the message of the campaigners who call themselves the ninety nine percent and protest against corporate crime and government complicity protesters tens march through and throughout the country there will be more the movement is only expanding several weeks ago police crackdown on protesters with pepper spray this week it was tear gas and stun grenades protesters now want to hit big business where it hurts a general strike next week demanding banks and corporations shut down for a day but will the police response be an even more brutal crackdown i'm going to
