watching r t joshua welcome to the program the arab league has renewed calls for the syrian government and bloodshed and allow more observers in the country but the group monitoring the implementation of a peace plan stopped short of asking the u.n. for help the arab league mission itself has been heavily criticized for failing to stop the violence and us r.t. sara for three ports many in the country say they're paying too high a price for change. a new year but no resolution here despite the presence in the country of arab league observers and ten months of bloody clashes the violence in syria continues to escalate out of iraq and that's what's our phone and that's our people's fault it's a send that our children are dying it's a center here just ordinary people we simply want to have the man seen here his life doctor is a battling to save as a soldier. the he dies he's just twenty five years old.

his family left to mourn him and this is just one man one family across syria at the moment there are many more people experiencing exactly the same thing as the country edges ever closer toward civil war hundreds of people from both sides losing their lives every month. on friday another suicide bombing in damascus is yet further evidence of the escalating conflicts and to this is continued to take place despite the presence of arab league observers on the ground and then we went to the leading them to help but they didn't want to listen to us and didn't respond to our complaints exactly he's responsible for what's in the country right now and main far from being clear but the opposition itself is becoming increasingly divided with more and more army deserts is joining the ranks in calling for a violent overthrow of the government danger the soldiers who.

have concluded. the rest of the syrian army if they want to. do it you know bleakest once again when you think who is for the violence from all sides and the thing that's to review the finding safe. there in syria this vast country and many of its people are fighting extremely hard right now for the right to determine their own future the government here might say that that pushing reforms three that many people in the country feel that simply too much has happened to much blood has been shed for anything other than real change to now be an option sara for. damascus despite growing discontent with the arab league's mission in syria political analysts say or m r six says the group has to find a way out of the crisis and ignore intervention calls coming from the west. the violence

is two sided there are attacks against government troops these realities on the ground need to be reflected by the observers the arab league observers and unless they have time to really see both sides of the story we're not going to know how best to solve this conflict we're not going to know how best dialogue will happen and who to trust and who involved in this process syria also has to be careful to have reliable people come in and not those with political agenda seeking to destabilize or undermine the syrian regime of course there's also violence continuing in this must stop so the arab league needs to find a just way to end this crisis and not listen to the western pressure that's coming from europe and from america to intervene in syria and to get the united nations involved right now let the arab league try to do its job. moscow has been trying to mediate a peaceful solution in syria for months and has thrown its support behind the arab

league monitors and russia's foreign ministries commissioner for human rights says there must be more understanding that some of the violence is being caused by an armed opposition. we do very much support the peace initiative by the league of arab states with you or submit to the draft or screw the council resolution you are in the security council. which calls for the you to see from where the last. by whoever can see it because it's reviewed for them to strike the balance unfortunately violence has come upon me from the from the government forces from from the army and police but while most significant for this come also from all sorts of. extremist elements. who try to hide behind the backs of peaceful peaceful demonstrators.

and you can see the full interview was russia's foreign minister is commissioner for human rights next hour here on our team. afghanistan is demanding the u.s. army hands over control of its main prison in the country within a month that's after a detainees at the american run jail outside bagram air base complained of torture but he benjamin co-founder of the anti-war group code pink says the u.s. should speed up its pull out from afghanistan. aniston government should be having the final authority about how prisoners are treated in its own country and i think we should give the benefit of the doubt to afghan investigators and if afghanistan wants to take over the security of a prison that is in its territory it should have the right to do that i think the u.s. should really speed up its transfer of power in all its ramifications to the afghan government the obama administration is now having talks with the taliban the taliban want to set up

a headquarters and cutter the obama administration after the troops leaving iraq is now almost talking much more about the troops leaving afghanistan and this has created more tensions but i think the solution for that is the u.s. to hand over the management of the background prison over to the afghan government and to start devolving to the afghan authorities in general unfortunately the obama administration is talking about leaving in twenty four entirely due here to bind the scenes he's negotiating to have significant number of troops stay beyond that date i don't think the american people want to see that and i think that there should be clear signs that the u.s. is ready to leave afghanistan and turn over the background prison would be one of those signs. and so i have for you this hour the opportunity of a lifetime or a day and it's a bumpy road for euro two thousand and twelve host ukraine as it faces questions

over whether this is the right time to stage a football tournament that's costing billions of dollars plus. this diner came from the united states and went on a ship and came to st petersburg and then drove down on truck time to put it into the park you know like one day i wasn't there and two weeks later we were over. the man who brought the culture of american diarist to russia reveals the secrets of the success of join him in a few minutes for the latest in our pathfinders series. wealthy british style. time to. go. around the.

after silvio berlusconi resigned from power and a new prime minister was also appointed switching governments is an old show the government that left had no chance to act to act much different from the one that is installed now people are you know passive by the. pace meanwhile two key players of the e.u. germany and france meet again looking for ways to world cracks in the euro zone germany's already thrown billions at saving the euro it's no surprise that it wants more control over the rest of the pack which is why berlin players are pushing to build a so-called fiscal compact meant to take the reins over sober and budget but it's an idea that's not going down well on germany streets especially if there is a threat that germany can gain certain positions and influence in the e.u. and it may not really have any right to be doing this germany over the money order

it gives the government gets more power it's more powerful and i fear that. it's bad i think that the danger of the so-called robin hood tax is another proposed to measure it would charge the e.u.'s financial institutions for every money move the mic with the aim to standardize the market however with more. gloomy economic news over the eurozone is joblessness and feeling retail sales some analysts warn if introduced the new tax me only makes struggling countries even more dependent on france and germany is money there's no doubt germany remains the economic powerhouse of the union and the skies over the euro zone darkening the signs or the economic strength is now used to why. as well. r t frankfurt germany. like much of debt laden europe there are regions of india seeing

twice as much money in the gulf as he can at home for muhammad it's been a success and that's why thousands of keralites knock on the doors of agencies like this to go the dream of going to the gulf has become a money making business in kara with people coming here early in the morning to line up to get their passport in the process just on this one block you see several agencies that are helping people get the right paperwork and sometimes they're charging up to three to five thousand dollars to help people go and that's when things can start to go wrong to afford the ticket in high agency charges many would be gulf workers take out loans from their future employer and once they arrive they're given a lower salary than promised but are still in debt experts say it's a common story making people vulnerable to physical and mental exploitation these poor woke up. in india he was. with the others the goals that they have. hundred dollars sometimes though the consequences

are even worse than that over forty seven years ago she called us in the morning and was crying after that we haven't heard from her. she has gone missing and we have no information. and sar hasn't seen her mother since she went to the gulf for what was supposed to be a higher paying shot that was seven years ago many indian workers like regina's mother simply disappear it's thought some are just afraid to come back and admit their dream became a nightmare while others hide to escape abuse from employers and fear being discovered by authorities and deported when their paperwork expires we had a lot of difficulties and still do when she went missing she has and that is a lot of responsibility i have two kids as a brown all of them were really young when she went missing so they don't have many memories of her memories that no amount of money from abroad could make up for we

the official. from the. video. dot com this summer ukraine welcomes euro two thousand and twelve one of the biggest sporting events in the world as co-host with poland it's costing billions of dollars to overhaul roads airports and stadiums to welcome global teams and their supporters organizers believe it will all benefits the country's image but i

say if you ask a foul not everyone shares that optimism. the incredible adventures of food bullheads from extreme accommodation to driving through impassable roads this is the scenario some believe awaits fans who will flock to ukraine for the euro twenty twelve tournament gave based journalists organized this photo exhibition trying to voice a rather pessimistic message about the upcoming football cup. we're being told by the government that everything has been built by the fans will face those problems that we ordinary face every day very poor straight better issues bribery by the police and terrible medical facilities raided could be a major failure. at first glance such concerns may seem laughable even in the darkest times of financial troubles the euro twenty twelve

projects remained top priority when almost all construction projects were halted roads airports and stadiums never stopped being built after a string of stadium opening ceremonies in ukraine you wait for chiefs are now completely sure the country is ready to host the tournament we went through a different periods of the preparation so some of them. solve successful but in the last two years we made huge progress in terms of infrastructure construction and also in terms of organization so in principle we are ready but this is just one example of what really worries some in ukraine this broken road is only several hundred meters away from a vital highway and there is a slim chance it would ever be repaired before or after the tournament kicks off experts believe ukraine simply has no money for that and the euro twenty twelve will not change the situation. of the ukraine is spent fourteen billion dollars on

euro twenty twelve projects but we predicted two or. only half a billion from the tournament twenty eight times less everyone knew that it's a typical situation especially faced in europe the question is if we could afford such spending in hard times like this. tournament organizers brush all this criticism aside saying regardless of how much money your twenty twelve brings the country is building a bright future for itself for the first time in twenty years history people get new airports new roads new terminals everything is new we believe that people who is in ukraine they will come again the ways of ukraine so this is our main goal a special euro twenty twelve clock was installed in central kiev to count down the minutes to june skew cough and despite some skepticism the majority of ukrainians are relieved to see it ticking in their capital city not anywhere else with all the

airports and stadiums springing up it's hard to believe now that almost a year ago the tournament could have moved to another country by you a four as ukraine was not doing good enough now there is no doubt whatsoever it will be held here but one question still remains whether it would become an opportunity of a lifetime or a luxury this economically his country could not have afforded. to see reporting from kiev in ukraine. now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world malaysian opposition leader on working for him has been found guilty of sodomy following a two year trial it were him facing possible twenty year jail sentence after being accused of having sex with a former male politician maintain his innocence and said the charges were politically motivated the verdict is expected to have major consequences on elections expected later this year. following a wave of deadly attacks nigerian president has said there are maybe sympathizers of terrorist sect baka haraam within his government over the weekend sectarian

were tagged as timid and pious by fellow contenders opinion polls put romney ahead of congressman ron paul and senator rick santorum the ultimate republican candidate will face democrat barack obama in the bamber elections. in our daily pathfinder series here in r t we introduce you to pioneering for a nurse who have had business success in russia. despite a long cold war or perhaps because of it the russians have always had a thing for hamburgers and milkshakes it's a hearing paul o'brian sought to satisfy when he brought the first american diet or to the country. you're here to mark let me. start it was known street. when i.

said what i do. you. want to steal my car. it's. steiner came from the united states and went on a ship and came to st petersburg and then drove down on trucks and we put it into the park you know like one day i wasn't there and two weeks later we were open and i think it was the challenge i was really exciting when i opened my first business here. because we were the first we had a lot of people that thought we were crazy to put a diner in the middle of the park despite all the objections there and we didn't we knew it was going to work because i had worked here for two years and i would tell i actually got on the stand the culture. and thought process and russian despite everything i russians i've always had a love for america you know and you can't get more american than

a diner one of the great things about this diner was modular so when we ordered it from the united states all the pictures are on the walls. all the buddhas are made in the united states but they're red in their classic. furniture so while we had crises here and ninety. five and an arcane seven ninety eight the last one and it wasn't so bad because people came down market they were spending less money on risk and we have a really moderate price category so we our business actually increased a little during the last crisis i think there's still a lot of opportunities here i mean it's just under saturated market for like ten million people they could use a lot more restaurants foreign businessmen really have to understand a lot about the country before they get here and they have to know their own business really well be able to adapt because you know it's not my way or the

highway situation here it's like the russian way i would say the first thing is they need a russian partner they can trust and then they have perseverance because it's not going to happen as quickly as it would somewhere else i once said you know in america you have. all the rights but no freedom of russia i said you had freedom but no rights. probably the biggest differences in management style management is more harsh and more dictatorial i think that's a negative because if you don't challenge them you don't get a second opinion on whether you're doing the right thing or not but i would say developing managers is probably the biggest challenge because they don't have a lot of management experience i think sometimes people look at business and they say i have a business but i think every business has three components to it one is the employees the other is the owner who puts up the capital and wants to make

a profit and the other one is the customer you know if you don't treat all three of those aspects as being important you're not going to be successful you have to take care of your employees have to take care of your customers and put it together where you're going to make money. and if you don't put those three those things together market work. i'll be back with a reminder of our top stories very shortly so stay with us. if
