3:03 am
a heavy military presence we went to visit some of the areas where concentrated fighting was continuing it would be empty dangerous to visit. those who know the areas of the city daily life struggles own movie it's in the backdrop of gunfire. you can see the children playing here in the homes this is the one of the major concerns is this conflict continues for the safety of the civilians here for their continued living here in. the situation in homes right now is far more complex than simply one of the opposition against the regime has deep seated sectarian conflicts have with their heads. from the very beginning home. because they're equal large numbers. much more than. a. military funeral held yesterday gets under way for five soldiers killed by what the government says is an increase in the militant movement and on the same day reports
3:04 am

3:05 am
a rival here in syria will be an important step but it's going to be just one of many more that will need to fall away and seeing to ensure that no more lives are lost sara. the city of homs. they were a baseball article alice carmel was name but we knew the opposition's call for foreign intervention is not about protecting civilians but pursuing its own gains. their dream of a change in the regime and collapsing of the regime not met their allies and they think after nine months of that international coalition western and some goals country against syria syria was able to. prevail over all the obstacle that has been put by these countries i think there is a map that has been drawn for the middle east and they wanted some somehow for the regime of assad to topple and i think the way things are going it didn't please the
3:06 am
persian gulf and they didn't please what they call the opposition and that's why you see they don't want they want to still continue in the process of. causing instability inside syria today after an oil raid capsized off russia's far east coast the search for any survivors has become desperate dozens are still missing in the freezing waters while seven of the survivors found have now arrived back on land arches jacob greens has met them in the port of the coastal region nearest to where the tragedy occurred. it's a sense of relief to flee among those of course who been caught up in this both the survivors and also family members as well and the emergency crews who have been following this story from the very start by no means any jubilation or said abrasion and a lot of intel there's a lot of people stores are still with what's ongoing at least people who lost
3:07 am
probably work colleagues and friends almost all righ that capsized and sunk and therefore a lot of thought still being given towards them and their ongoing plights now dealing with the seven people who are still missing in this case and has to be said to the odds of finding any more survivors now any more people alive looking quite slim now if anyone is alive they would have spent their second night at sea in very harsh conditions search and rescue teams have already found over the table life boats i mean there's no more refuge really any want to stayed in overnight meaning most likely they were having to face the very harsh conditions a line of sea based sank whole rig sank very quickly indeed in twenty minutes time with it probably quite a lot of the evidence itself and not many survivors found either to give personal human testimonies of what occurred one theory though so far is that it's already
3:08 am
flooded with water being capsized very quickly within about twenty minutes and sank in people very little time to get out and that has been stationed already opened up here there is further inquiry colonel kay said has also been opened up and warmly angles that that's looking into it why exactly was taken to tow this already to port when there was such stormy and bad weather at the time. jake of greece reporting there was more on the maritime tragedy in the russian far east can be found on our website r.t. dot com one of the survivors who was airlifted to a hospital on saturday has told the media the horrifying story of the oil rig sinking and explained why so many people fail to board the lifeboats so log onto our web site r.t. dot com to find out more. north koreans are paying their last respects to their allayed so longstanding leader kim yong nail who died of
3:09 am
heart attack at the age of sixty nine on saturday his death was only announced on monday and has sent shock waves around the country and the whole region a stream of mourners including his son and successor kim yano and passed by open coffin the late leader will be buried in a week images from the world's most reclusive nation also show thousands of people uncontrollably meeting on the streets meanwhile north korea's neighbors are on high alert following the news of the death fearing it will spark instability in the region japan's government has called a special security meeting while south korea said its armed forces are combat ready but some experts believe peace on the korean peninsula is determined not by relations between north and south but by a standoff between china and america. the important thing here to understand is that for example the top of south korea being on military alert it's not south
3:10 am
korea that is on military alert it's the united states that is actually using south korea as a beachhead ever since the end of the korean war on the other hand we have to understand or should really be asking ourselves will the military the north korean military which are very powerful one million strong army four million reserved nuclear arms ballistic missiles will they really be subordinated to the new government or will they have a larger stance of these probably the key question is how will all of this unfold what will china china has a very special relationship with more korea it's sort of a love hate strict father versus problem child type of relationship that i cannot see however these things because north korea will undoubtedly not do that which china does not allow we have to always interpret north korea within the scope of the regional geopolitics of china so which is the key power in the region the
3:11 am
youngest son of the late north korean chief kim yano and has already been named as a great successor and the people have been told to unite behind him but as independent journalist tim sure told our team with secrecy surrounding the new rear it's hard to guess what his tenure will bring. he's only been around for three years in the public light he went to school in switzerland apparently he knows a lot about how the internet works and he knows a lot about social media but beyond that we know very little except he's been appointed a four star general and it did take kim jong il who just passed quite a few years to actually gain total acceptance with the power structure there with the powers that be there in the in the party in the government to actually you know take firm control so obviously he has no military training very very you know this year or next to zero military experience but i think what these two leaders this closely held leadership in north korea once is the symbol of their regime and this
3:12 am
is a clear you know successor symbol they can they can use to continue their power while about twenty minutes time we speak with the former head of the u.n. nuclear watchdog thinks and he felt from foreign powers will destroy the shaky peace in the region. i think it is important that the outside the world's. does not make them nervous and the threats from the outside bites that make them for a look at it in the north korean situation first of all we know that within the to rearrange frodo it's going to. so even without the you know it as the situation would be risky what. you told the world about it is there could be a risk also of encouraging. forces in japan. three months and it seems no one is backing out the occupy movement and the u.s.
