rest of the country right now divided you can travel from one area to another here some streets in p.t. danger. film conflict in syria right now is looking increasingly like a civil war in the towns and cities like homs to the shame resistance is in 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 cooper tween the conflicting sides it's the people like this he was suffering under we are not completely with with our government. and one hundred percent and we are not against it what they are doing. the young people they are getting us they are getting our fuel. 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 being willing to lay down their arms and to see dialogue. the. number of the those who are killed. we were accustomed to about average twenty people per day being killed about thirty three say that it's going to continue such more more death more killing say these people waiting hate being greying they will their children be next to be caught in the crossfire. in the city of homs. sarah ferguson also posting updates online you can follow her blog dot com for first hand accounts of the latest situation in syria. well the arab league remains split over

recent proposal by qatar to send troops into syria but fears the move could engulf the entire region asia times correspondent pesca bar says that the league is not motivated by democracy in syria as a group itself mostly consists of oppressive want to please. don't forget that all of these regimes are doctor sees that the local populations have no possibility of political expression some of them their own populations like in the case 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 mockers like the whole sink the whole scheme is sampson literally absolute it 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 look at what happened sobering sister beginning of the pro-democracy protests in manama almost a year ago there were repression was total with help from saudi arabia and the emirates so the same persian gulf wanted kids 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 person goes mark. but i still had few this crippled us to belittle the eurozone bailout fund now downgraded top bankers say it's time to do without a credit rating. and there's thousands of children in india this is. the best state what's behind the frightening trend. iran says it won't to resort to terrorism to avenge the latest murder of one of its nuclear scientists the speaker of the iranian parliament accused israel and the

u.s. of using such tactics in a desperate bid to stop terror as nuclear program or western officials have spoken out recently about possible military action against iran and as i point to their reports many in israel say a covert war may already be underway. 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 menasha amir from reading the news in farsi every night and hosting a weekly show for listeners in the persian world to share the views he thinks around a million rain ians tune in and the topic they most want to talk about the possibility of a foreign attack on iran they are very much afraid that the iranian nuclear installations will be bombed by a 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 for more crippling sanctions quoting the secretary of state clinton then israel would take the initiative and strike alone some wonder if israel hasn't already declared an unofficial war on terror and what 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 and last sabotaging the iranian nuclear project 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 grimmer nation but. iran has. you. and it's not. adding fuel to the fire the plan for israel and the united states to conduct the biggest joint military drill before the end of the year it would see thousands of american troops deployed in israel for you man it's the most blatant find that in 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 air waves. but iran isn't a threat to anyone and the tension around its nuclear program is fabricated by

washington so says brian becker of the anti war on soko that. the united states government has created an artificial crisis that's first and foremost it's a manufactured crisis iran is complying with the i.a.e.a. iran does not have a nuclear weapon iran is not threatening 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 the run 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 and 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 and comment twenty four hours a day at r.t. dot com here's a taste of what's online to you right now in the runup to the presidential election the part ministerial candidate in the region isn't going to profit from day to extensive damage on the body of what's needed to move the country forward but it isn't going to go on our website also on our. leading human rights campaigners suing barack obama over a controversial new law but in the indefinite detention and torture of americans you can find out what force the pulitzer prize winner take on the president. is he is.

aaa status or financial analysts fredricka william endo says agencies are not impartial. the role that the u.s. based grading agencies have played since the greek crisis erupted in december of zero nine has been what many people here see as 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 forcing a massive sell off of greek debt by pension funds i don't think they're biased 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 call 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 leave 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 or the head of the european central bank is now calling on investors and regulates is to ignore the ratings agencies france maintains that its own downgrade changes nothing but if he says inadequate us and governance is to blame and that's it we talked to other in sorrow found of the political think tank equality and reconciliation because he was the single currency was a mistake to begin with. but. deceive others 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 thought 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 our land they voted no it was rejected by the people but 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 the european union was meant to bring down unemployment bring prosperity security but instead it brought on employment the adoption of the euro inflated prices because de industrialisation 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 has 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 the. day you can say that interview in full next hour here in r.t. america occupy wall street activists all descend on capitol hill they twenty's day the organizers hope could be that just gathering yet it's four months since the first article protest according to a nationwide phenomena. reports now on how young americans are frustrated with the power wielded by the giant corporations. the dream of starting their own business may stay just the dream for most young americans armed with college degrees and loaded with hefty student loans they enter a marketplace dominated by giant corporations robert porter is a pharmacist he works for

a company that provides help to poisoning victims he says he's glad to have a job that pays his bills but sees no chance he could start a business on his own now we sort of used to be able to go out like you said graduate start a business have a drugstore but i think those days are are going away rapidly and personally i don't know any young pharmacist that are starting their own business like that competition c.b.s. friday and all the wal-mart target there's no way there's no way a new pharmacist could compete no way and it's a shame in the last few decades thousands of independent pharmacies have been gobbled up by a handful of drug store chains this one is still standing just steps away from a c.v.s. its owner says they survive because he gives his customers would big chains can't give you a homely atmosphere but even dedicated pharmacists like hussein experienced giants stepping on their toes hussein remembers how easy it was to start

a pharmacy some thirty years ago it was a lot easier back then to stay and survive thirty years ago they could just go in and easily open a pharmacy now no young pharmacist really they or if they come with a lot of student loans and they really can model pain they're kind of mourning his two daughters are also pharmacists i would much rather be in my own business or at least a family business most of say naps fellow graduates ended up working for big companies . to at least have a steady paycheck none of them started their own business it has now become a common tendency for the young in the us stark difference with the eighties but many can't find even such relative stability these days according to a report by peter hart research associates

a quarter of workers under the age of thirty five in the us can't pay their monthly bills another study shows the average net worth of those under thirty five in nineteen eighty-four was three times higher than it is now for the same age group millions of people's quality of lives is there merely a shift for the profits of a handful of immense stores and corporations for most young people in the you are starting their own business isn't even a consideration most of them would be happy just to have a job that at least pays their bills many don't even have that this is the poorest young generation in the us decades and the question many as is what kind of future can they build and what will be the for the next generation i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team. for that now what's making headlines around the world this hour another body has been found in the wreckage of the italian cruise

with almost seventeen million people packed into its crowded city streets new delhi is the perfect place for people to get lost but some don't just get lost they disappear that's what happened to rout kumar's twelve year old son ravi he went missing one year ago when he left the house to get his bicycle but never returned. i don't know who took my son away i looked for him everywhere but i couldn't find him. and ravi is far from the only one in delhi alone anywhere from two to five thousand children go missing every year while in india as a whole a staggering eight hundred thousand disappear and it takes a dreadful toll on families kumar hasn't been able to hold down a steady job or stay healthy his only focus is finding out what happened to his son

but the answer is likely a grim one most children who disappear in delhi end up as sex workers or slaves who know better that kids are kept in places where no one will be able to find them they're also kidnapped for the organ trade business that don't shouldn't and also if they going to. come are a son like most missing kids in delhi with the word away while playing for the poor neighborhood like this one ready family members of missing kids say that they believe that they're often ignored by police because they lack money and power and in many cases they're asked to pay off the if they ever want to see their loved ones again i told the police they only say that maybe my brother is somewhere in the park or sleeping in some temple or staying at a friend's place delhi police say that while they know they face a massive problem things are getting better while in the past eighteen children in delhi would go missing every day this year that number is closer to ten organisations working to help the families of the missing say that while the police

need to do more they're overburdened and understaffed. we're also trying to pressure the court to order the police to take serious steps in this issue to watch out for the child in railway stations and bus step. but this comes as little comfort to parents like rao kumar who feels as if he's tried everything he continues to visit ravis untouched bedroom every day holding on to the memories they shared my son used to sleep on this bed with me the house seems empty without him and i don't know way is all his stuff is just lying at home clinging to whatever hope he can that his desperate search for the son he loves will one day and well preassure either r.t. new delhi india. or. well katie said i would latest business news.
