historical hotels of escape culture in the city slips in the sky cool smiles. mid-air as it could have until the strength for this to to become the hutto. a last ditch effort to end bloodshed in syria the arab league demands that president assad talk to the opposition and withdraw his tanks from the streets. costly recognition of washington halts funding of unesco hours after the u.n. cultural agency grants palestinians full membership by a majority but. how we treat the mainstream media resurrects an f.b.i. case code name goes stories seeing the release of footage featuring russian sleeper agents uncovered in the u.s. last year.

ten am in moscow good to have you with us here on r t our top story the world waits for syria's response to be arab league's demands to pull tanks off the streets and start dialogue with the opposition earlier syrian president assad said he would only speak to parties with no links to foreign powers or what he called terrorism some three thousand people already killed since clashes between anti-government protesters and security forces started eight months ago with that death toll mounting archy's tests are still has more from the mascot's. the protests to government crackdowns and violence that continue to plague parts of syria the capital damascus is still largely sheltered from but beneath the calm many will remind you that in syria will is most certainly have ears the more but out the country's intelligence service has political clout in syria that's hardly state secrets and since the unrest began in march protesters have accused them of violent interrogations for building before i was chased into risk. it was security forces

in a very tiny cell they beat me severely damaging my back and me electrocuted d.q. the soul of receiving money for taking to the streets they said were agents of america and israel after forty eight hours of detention and torture they took all my money and belongings and threw me out into the street. sitting in cooley is a lawyer who deals with detention cases she says the influence of the security police extends even into the courtroom that muhammad ali we have three authorities in the country the legal authority the legislative and executive but it is the security police who made the real decisions the court judge for their decision and i feel sorry for the judge because he is not independent. here and couldn't believe this constant state of fear is thanks to decades of living under the emergency law in place since nine hundred sixty three in two thousand and eleven assad you feel that to appease as a regime protestors this man who's worked for the more but i for twenty seven years sustained gunshot wounds in what he says was an ambush by

a group of terrorists he asked him about people's fear of the mob but not accusations that they are behind the violence detentions and torture. this is the wrong idea we are protecting our people for the terrorists shoot civilians who shoot us and then accuse security forces of doing such things accusations that we instill fear also wrong if this person has political activity without any intention of harming the country and he is free to do this and no one will chase him if he has links with terrorists and works against the country naturally justice we pose the same questions to the deputy foreign minister you know it depends on the people who talk to you if you ask me a. different view i have never ever been asked by this a group of people or anybody for something which i also fear. people who take part in illegal activities or carry arms or what. consumes and suspicious words

well this right here is a very open and colorful flights of syria when it comes to talking about security services like anywhere it is crowded by intrigue but here their presence is so widely felt that it's not possible to determine just what local feel is normal and what isn't. and when twenty percent of the population is rumored to be in the intelligence service it's no wonder many prefer to keep their voices down in the light of day but within the crowd that's here is temporarily forgot oh yes i'll take to the streets again and again i'll raise my voice and if you're nothing and no one freedom of expression you get nothing only bashar al assad is security enjoyed as for us we are not why is that i. r t. earlier we discussed the situation in syria with beirut based political analysts coming. here echoes assad's opinion that he had

a rest in the country as part of a foreign plot to topple the syrian government. i think it's a conspiracy by regional power they wanted to change the regime of bashar al assad they wanted different regime different government it was different and not there you can see that regional power hasn't been friendly to the situation taking place in syria actually some of the country has been funneling weapons and money and start an ideology to topple the regime of president assad the president of syria acknowledges there is opposition in that country and he would extend his hand to become foliation away then to his country for those people who were asking for change and that's why today they have a constitutional reform but there is an external power or what they say in opposition and exult those are backed by the western powers some persian gulf

the israelis and for the united states it seems they've been doing everything possible to do rail the vote but to no avail now those u.n. body in question deals with science education and culture the vote has been seen as very much political as a first step as a reminder of the popularity of the palestinian bid for full u.n. membership that application is now the pending before the u.n. security council where the united states is threatening to use its veto power and also the international community is for palestine becoming a full member of the u.n. and the u.s. position on this is considered to be very much by its. we're always eager to know your take on our top stories today we ask on line what admission. ninety unesco means just under forty percent don't think the move will change anything about it in the in the derby appears the way for the country statehood reza provided even way between whether unesco will have difficulties paying its bills or appeared mission of palestine would sweden

hope not the american administration the world would reconsider this and that the usual financial for that would not be off and the palestinian and the international information to consolidate palestinian independence will not be subjected and all. will hold by such share thoughts if anything that has to be thought of endorsement now there is an international voice added to the list in the invoice and i think this voice ought to be addressed and addressed carefully. stay with us here on r.t. still ahead tactics accusations of us police brutality against anti-war protesters now we talked with witnesses of the crackdown. as likely to be a new round of bullets wild freighting around the world as the session she comes rushing but that's not to greece's prime minister george. that the country will hold a referendum on the last minute bail until to try to contain the books that mountain more in business in ten minutes.
