the song comes from the heartbeat of it all tunis with the arab spring began to despite the toppling of its president the country remains consumed by social and economic problems i don't think the protesters can get achieve the impossible it's too difficult. and so got a music plays on the hopes are fading that every volution would bring real change and the only harmony to be found is confined to the airwaves policy r.t. tel aviv. the u.k. has officially started talks of the syrian opposition as pressure builds against the regime of president bashar al assad earlier britain was reportedly approached by drone to spearhead a diplomatic campaign against assad were pressured by the arab league damascus and great without international observers to enter the country to help end the bloodshed france has already said it's too late for the regime to try and save itself by throwing out the forms for the violence shows no signs of abating ports

that at least twelve civilians were killed security forces fired on protesters for and friday prayers or correspondence this says it's all part of the build up to outside intervention in syria. it certainly looks like the beginning of a military intervention i'm surprised turkey is the side to go so far a very cautious and trying to ration with all its neighbors jordan in the sense of sticking its neck out to washington it is. long time to overthrow the regime because it's a key ally of iran and a key supporter of his rule our lives are not. washington. only true along with the saudis and israel is however there are wise heads in washington jr saying wait a minute if you look through the regime wants to take its place and brown a hell of intervention now with no research eagerness to get an iran vs syria

a nuclear bomb a nuclear weapon president ahmadinejad. just recently that it would just be absurd for iran to produce one or two bombs in the face of thousands of bombs which exist in the western countries and also regarding. israeli nuclear weapons which is which israel remains the sole entity in the region. nuclear weapons more than two hundred of them and that is preventing the whole region the middle east region from becoming. mass destruction feasible. but you missed something on there you can head to r.t. dot com you can find all the stories we're covering and has a taste of what else is waiting for you just a click of a mouse away a rocket got loose long before you hear it washington tests a missile six times faster than the speed of sound potentially reaching the target

a blip but history probably won't remember this week let's talk about that i think . brought some attention to the issues that nobody really wants to talk about so. if it becomes part of the conversation i think they've accomplished something but there's still a lot of work to do i'm hopeful that they'll continue with their efforts and they will give up if people think it will make a big difference so i think we'll think about it for a while and then go back to. the parkers mines. but i think that's one of the problems no one really knows what the reason is other than because people lot of problems do you think if they had a leader that would help them define what their movement and i think if there were that organize a variety of jobs it would be some way around wall street i'll be honest with the other and know what the message is so clearly they haven't communicated that well not at all so how are they going to get out in history to pick. i don't think that much in history down the road is going to be there it's not significant they should
1:22 am
feel like it fit nappy can't it always just everybody something they feel passionate about significant it's well there's it's not every revolution starts with someone just doing this sort of to say i don't care what happens to me i'm going to make a change and then hopefully other people add on to that so what's the next step how do they add on. i don't know i guess you get the middle class that's kind of comfortable that doesn't see that is a real problem because they're comfortable you either get them involved or uncomfortable if you think they're going to go out with his parents knowing i hold still because then i'll feel better about it because the worse conditions they endure as we go along i think the more i'll feel supporting of it they need to go through a little bit more and man has free will have a chance at my don't remember a member two months protest doesn't do it but you've got to stick it out whether or not you think the at you by wall street movement has achieved its goals the bottom line is it will be interesting to see if the protesting continues when it's no right.
