looking increasingly like a civil war in the towns and cities like homs to the shame resistance isn't the rules and thousands of people have fled the city can't imagine anyone wanting to live here now not everyone can leave across the country right now civilian safety is hugely under threat outbreaks of violence seen cayle sick and fractured and cool between the conflicting sides is the people like this he was suffering under are not completely with with their government. and one hundred percent and we are not getting to know what they are doing. the young people they are giving us they are killing our future they are killing our people and our children this is the devastating reality as syria's uprising hit me that the government all the opposition seem willing to lay down their arms and proceed dialogue with direction . the total. number of the those

who are killed is. we were accustomed to about twenty people per day being killed about thirty said to say that it's going to continue such more more death more killing and say these people are left waiting hate being in praying they call their children sleeping next to the courts in the crossfire. in the city of homs. well sarah ferguson also posting updates online you can follow her blog at r.t. dot com for first hand accounts of the situation in syria. well the arab league remains split over recent proposal by qatar to send troops into syria but this is the move could ingolf the entire region asia times correspondent pepe escobar says the arab league is not made to pointed by democracy in syria as a group itself mostly consists of oppressive monarchy. don't forget that all these

regimes are doctor sees that the local populations have no possibility at all for political expression some of them their own populations like in the keys of the rate seventy percent shiite population they are treated as second rate citizens and now we have the persian gulf monarchies trying to teach the world lessons on the markets like the home sink the whole scheme is sampson literally absolute starts with so can we imagine if we had what we seen in syria inside easter saudi arabia for it's. all because no calls for democracy no calls for deposing the government like qatar is a nowadays imagine not not only imagine look at what happened sobering sister beginning of the pro-democracy protests in manama almost a year ago the repression was total with help from saudi arabia and the emirates so

the same persian gulf monarchies were saying now to the world we must intervene on the behalf of people in syria they would smash their own people in any possibility of an arab spring in any of the six special goals mark what's ahead for you this crippled stability in the eurozone bailout fund now downgraded top bankers say it's time to do without a great cost why in a few minutes. and that's thousands of children in india disappearing investigate what's behind the frightening trend. iran says it won't resort to terrorism to avenge the data smatter of one of its nuclear scientists the speaker of the iranian parliament accused israel on the us using such tactics and a desperate bid to stop tehran's nuclear program a number of western officials have spoken out recently about possible military action against iran and as our teams play reports many in israel say hope it war

may already be on the way. from this rather spartan recording studio in jerusalem one israeli jew has been reaching out to people in iran for fifty two years ties between tel aviv in tehran off a bit in but it's never stopped from reading the news in farsi every night and hosting a weekly show for listeners in the persian world to share their views he thinks around a million iranians tune in and the topic they most want to talk about the possibility of a foreign attack on iran and they are very much afraid that the iranian nuclear installations will be bombed by foreign powers where they're israel or the united states or any other country. but it's not only the rain ians who are suspicious of israel or america taking action people here in israel since something's in the air you can see signs of wink and nod from israeli officials when talking about it israel is signaling to the world. if the world doesn't do anything if the wall doesn't call

for more fierce action or more properly exerting sense quoting the secretary of state clinton then israel would take the initiative and strike along some wonder if israel hasn't already declared an unofficial war on terror ran but suspicions raised further after the assassination of another iranian nuclear scientist earlier this month while on his way to work putting everything together it is clear that whoever it is but if someone or somebody or some agency is very successful in infiltrating understanding last sabotaging the iranian nuclear for the attack is the latest in a series of mysterious accidents linked to iran's nuclear program two aircraft accidents in the space of three years scientists disappearing equipment damaged and computer viruses unleashed and the fingers pointing at israel. and the united states this is a very respectable grumbly nation but. iran

has many a name is. in mind and it's not beyond imagination adding fuel to the fire the plan for israel and the united states to conduct their biggest joint military drill before the end of the year it would see thousands of american troops deployed in israel for a ran it's the most blatant sign that an attacks coming but no one in israel will come on record and say there is a covert war on iran all talk of an israeli strike is limited to the airwaves policia r.t. jerusalem. well iran isn't a threat to anyone and the tension around its nuclear program is fabricated by washington so says ron becker of the antiwar answer coalition. the united states government has created an artificial crisis that's first and foremost it's a manufactured crisis iran is complying with the. iran does not have

a nuclear weapon iran is not threaten its neighbors iran has not started a war with any of its neighbors israel on the other hand has hundreds of nuclear weapons and unlike iran refuses to sign the nuclear nonproliferation treaty does not allow. inspectors into its country so there's not really a nuclear menace or a nuclear danger from iran so what is the cause what's the cause of the crisis of the artificial crisis the real goal is the united states government has embarked on a course of extreme economic aggression against iran with the hope that by creating economic suffering economic isolation economic misery that part of the population will rise up or become disenfranchised with the government so that the u.s. can do as it has in history carry out regime change well there's more news in common twenty four hours a day at r.t. dot com is a taste of what's on the line for you right now in the run up to the presidential

a brazenly political role and it happens to be that they preemptively downgrade the greek sovereign debt just when european leaders in march of two thousand and ten were coming to an agreement in principle they downgraded to junk status foreseen a massive selloff of greek that by pension funds i don't think they're unbiased i don't think they're the independent agencies that they portray themselves to be they enjoy a very curious role in being blind to the. problems in companies like g.e. just before the september two thousand and eight explosion there the calls to global systemic shock and as well the the background to the whole subprime crisis they were asleep at the switch many times when it comes to the interest of the wall street banks the so-called gobs of money banks like goldman sachs or others they tend to be rather believe me and when it comes to the interest of european institutions they tend to be rather aggressive which leads many europeans

that i talk with to think that the rating agencies are simply an extension of the u.s. political apparatus the treasury and wall street. but the head of the european central bank is now calling on investors and regulates this to ignore the ratings agencies france and maintains that it's downgrade changes nothing but at least says inadequate governance is to blame but it's what we talked around found the political think tank quote it seemed reconciliation who believes the single currency was a mistake to begin with. the thing when you look at the reality of the past twenty years the european union has changed very little by the way if we remember back then we were still having referendums on such decisions so the mass treat referendum got through but in the second referendum on the lisbon treaty the french voted no in arland they voted no it was rejected by the people

then forcibly voted in by m.p.'s it is clear that this representative democracy actually represents no one at all today the european union is scared of the people and of consulting the people be your opinion was meant to bring down unemployment bring prosperity security but instead it brought on employment the adoption of the euro inflated prices it caused the industrialization especially in france it may be better for germany it could be but it's an economic disaster the euro is exploding the single currency is a technical in possibility a europe of twenty seven countries cannot work or we see that this huge thing is crumbling and is only brought negative effects practically with merkel and sarkozy meeting every three days it's getting ridiculous now there's a summit every three days it's no good it's close to collapse. before they. can watch the full interview with political activists others who are on death to
