find out what's really happening to the global economy cause a report on our team. the u.n. human rights council meets to force through a security council resolution on syria after a portal you this week claimed of four thousand people have been killed since march . well there are doubts over the objectivity of the report of a sauna just the views of two hundred witnesses more on that coming up in a few moments. germany says there are no rapid solutions to the e.u. debt crisis and it could take years to overhaul the eurozone none save the single currency. twenty eight thousand people marched through manhattan angry at the lack of jobs

and low wages echoing the recent mood of the occupy wall street. parties business desk takes a look at the prospects of potential changes to the state spending and fiscal policies following the elections join us in twenty minutes so. it is now or just after five pm on friday here in the russian capital this is with me rory scene showing russia says that a united nations report on syria is not objective well based on reality the international community is that receiving biased reports on events in the country it comes as the u.n. human rights council holds an emergency meeting on syria they need to put pressure on damascus and condemn alleged crimes against humanity. as more.

but doubts being raised when it comes to syria is certainly coming from russia specifically on the objectivity of the report saying that this is you know last for prejudicial and biased reports about events at the un and human rights council is getting especially because it's coming from about two hundred eyewitnesses and it doesn't reflect the situation on the ground has to be said though that almost all of the countries if not all have expressed concerns about what's going on in syria the question here that he has raised is on the process of gathering that evidence to condemn serious specially when called for a tougher resolution on the country again if you remember this is the third meeting a special meeting held on to be a situation in syria and this is also right after fresh sanctions from the e.u. just slapped on thursday on certain individuals and organizations as well as in addition to arab league sanctions which were the toughest imposed on an arab state an arab nation and russia through all of this again maintain that sanctions they

are against all of those and would rather see the two sides in the country sitting down and still talking for the u.n. has called the situation on the ground a civil war saying that about more than four thousand syrians have already been killed so it's not so one of the doubts expressed is not so much to say that this is not happening it's so much questioning the legal process a process of gathering evidence in order to support tougher resolutions on a country because in effect this is calling the international community to come up with a strong move short of a humanitarian war as we had seen in libya so once again the question is be race now on syria reminds us of the questions that have been raised before that humanitarian war was launched in libya there is no evidence to justify the humanitarian war in libya that's the conclusion of filmmaker and independent journalists. the beginning of this story we got some really good. news and you know you can be sure human rights council member. allegations of when

they were been verified or check and this is a good news also as much or you all thought zero i.c.c. case against. a march seventeenth u.n. security council resolution one nine hundred seventy three was passed and posing a no fly zone over libya. accusations were that the bombed his own people from air and land use foreign mercenaries ordered the use of rape as a weapon and killed by the thousands i can prove that there was no bombing all i know is that there is no evidence of warming and so i interviews of the men went to the united nations human rights council we seem angry or sleeman which a gear was a former secretary general of the libyan league for human rights now the libyan ambassador to burn in switzerland on february twenty five he went to the un human rights council to present his organization's allegations of crimes against gadhafi

government in that session a decision was taken to freeze libya's membership of the council he underlined the number of deaths six thousand including three thousand in tripoli alone when julian asked which he gear how these claims can be verified he pointed to the former rebels now libya's government as his source here where i got information from the libyan prime minister that mr mahmoud of the warfalla tribe was on the other side of the national transitional council was the one who gave me these numbers. yet there are still those who defend the libyan intervention like this former french intelligence officer it is very likely that some crimes attributed to their feet in these conflicts were farce or exaggerated but we all do because of carefully for forty years in the kind of he was a terrorist was a criminal until twenty seven international criminal court prosecutor luis a compliment at his request for arrest warrants for

a more market after he saif al islam and get out this intelligence chief was granted you know went through the pages of the arrest warrant application both of which were redacted for the modification so consider probably were we support a call for support the case one of which was which if yes there were twenty fifth speech the one place and information who should get himself said he got the empty seat but those who raised questions risk of being accused of taking the side of a man seen as a brutal dictator already labeled by some world powers as the bad guy. international law even cheerleaders of the intervention admit tends to be sacrificed. then you are certainly right that they will do something which is not politically correct i don't believe so much in international law is just a tool used in one. for political purposes regardless julia's point is simply this it's such a legal systems in place any claims first and foremost should be farly investigated

to a point he hopes will be heard before the next humanitarian war is waged that's are still you r.t. brussels. has come to you live from moscow and holding their breath egyptians and i waiting for the results of the country's historic parliamentary elections the muslim brotherhood has already claimed victory and demanded that the new parliament form a government that's something the military rulers say they will not allow thousands of people remain skeptical over the ballot calling for the army to step down these policies is gauging the mood on the streets of cairo. and that's one of three rounds of voting for the lower house of parliament nine out of twenty seven provinces have voted including cairo and alexandria there were many problems as well voted the rest of this month in january and many will be voting for the upper house of parliament this entire election process will not be over before march the muslim brotherhood is showing the largest support base at this stage and this is not in an expected it is the largest the oldest and the most well organized

political group in here in egypt in spite of the fact that it was once banned according to the brotherhood's own exit polls it's a freedom and justice party is expected to walk away with some fifty percent of votes and this will then be followed by the slightest only newer which looks the fifth to get some twenty percent of the election ballots now there has been some concern particularly among sick universe that the muslim brotherhood why form an alliance with eastern office down there and the brotherhood has denied this the slightest honor is a much more conservative party it has a much stricter interpretation of islam and things and that's an illustration that is the plan for today friday in turkey is where it has been a tribute to the heroes of muhammad in the street because of the street with the faith who can feel were killed and more than a thousand people were injured in recent fashions between the army the police and protesters now there are twenty three political through ping's who are behind today's demonstration and talking to protesters who will be up there in tahrir

square and they say that the large turnout at the polls is simply an illusion people have that the situation will improve there for as long as the military the amazing power nothing in egypt will change until the rallying point among the demonstrators the tell here has not changed and that is that the military he needs to step down immediately over the past few weeks we've seen some of the worst clashes in recent months there will be interesting to gauge the kind of anger and the kind of response coming up from the square when these elections that many here believe should not have happened when those results are announced. his policy reporting right there from cairo so not just anger on the streets in our capital but also streets on the streets of new york as we report later an artsy it's all over claims of glaring inequality. i work hard every day in there we don't even have to nickels to rub together to mine for better jobs and opportunities drives a fresh wave of protests in new york as

which are the keep your zone and the idea is to create a fiscal union which would include all seventeen members of the eurozone perhaps all members of the european union is well it would create more centralization of power more control over state budgets and more importantly over their debts and de facto be introduction of such a fiscal union it would also mean the replies all of the european union france and germany are also calling for the introduction of tougher sanctions against those countries which can't be their bills. added that she perfectly understands that in order to improve the situation in the eurozone and in the european union is not going to take a day or a week it's going to take perhaps even years but at the same time she stressed that it germany will not support the idea of euro bonds well all seventeen members of the eurozone would share the responsibility for. these loans and since the germany

is the most powerful economic state in the eurozone if not the most powerful economic state the bundle for paying these bills may fall on the shoulders while germany is already allocated billions of euros to support the weaker members of the eurozone at the same time another key players of the e.u. great britain also wants to court in the every formation process french president nicolas sarkozy is set to meet with david cameron later on friday and we're on suspecting that the british prime minister will do is support of the new and the eurozone as long as great britain doesn't lose its influence in the process now a year ago it was just a case on wednesday when the e.u. monetary chief said there are ten days left to save the faltering eurozone when i want to say three or so well how urgently are economists saying a decision has to be made at this point. one has to be made very urgent in fact to

this all comes as some of the keep wears of the e.u. are set to meet in brussels next week of course it would include germany and france and we're expecting that they're going to continue putting forward this policy of creating the fiscal union reforming revising rather the european union treaty more control over state budgets and that's actually the revisal of the e.u. treaty has already been called by many analysts is a very very troubling signals is this is one of the foundations of the e.u. itself and with the economic situation in the eurozone continuing to worsen very big problems in greece more complications in some other members of the eurozone some analysts have even compare the situation to that when they're trying to rearrange cheers on a sinking ship. right he's i got this one of their life for us in frankfurt thank

you. for watching r.t. live from moscow one person has been killed some seventy people injured after a taliban suicide bomber targeted a nato military base in afghanistan the attack occurred just south of the capital kabul a suicide bomber is said to have used a truck packed with explosives and caused more concern now about just how stable the country is as a foreign combat troops start their withdrawal ahead of a two thousand and fourteen deadline to leave although a substantial presence is expected to remain to train locals but it's too late i am a child here from the gentile school of international affairs in new delhi things that by staying in the region because pushed through their own goals. it's an unfortunate historical reality that long after the immediate security needs in the rat race on the shore for us forces is all over this story on there will be says and then we hunker down and that is you know people you know we united states has

view security through the lenses of its military bases which continue to be all the seven hundred number so although there is an argument but president obama and his team are now moving towards you know an aerial beast security policy where be able have only counterterrorism you know to braun's into helicopters and the good don't really want people on the ground occupying countries for a long time the reality is that the pentagon is pushing for the same strategy we had to hunker down and steer for as long as they can so this is going to mean that even after twenty fourteen it will become a justification for the united states to stay on for much longer this is a recipe for more and more instability more and more suicide attacks more and more terror attacks and more and more casualties now quarter past the hour here in moscow r.t. dot com is always online for you with a lot of stories and i watching video so here are some of the items or you'll find there right now. the questions they were asking are absolutely true and that's when i actually got scared at
