the assad government on the opposition have to bear responsibility for the violence that is still going on in the middle eastern nation and that they need to come together and talk to try and find a peaceful solution that they are not going to they shouldn't try and find a solution to file into the church be through dialogue now what was new is. speaking about proposed arab league talks that would take place in cairo between the both governments and the syrian government and opposition saying that should those talks fall through and that summit not happen in cairo that russia was ready to step in and to offer the chance for peace talks to take place here in russia that's a new bit of information that said the level of revealing to journalists today now the foreign minister went on to say that russia was firmly opposed to any form of international intervention military intervention in syria now this is really because of how russia felt let down over the situation of the could in libya russia

believing that the international military intervention there far overstepping the the boundaries laid down by the the un mandates there were issues and the military intervention going far beyond what was what was laid down and said that they were allowed to do it in terms of air strikes and other types of action now the foreign minister saying that there is a responsibility of international governments in the situations like we saw in libya like we're seeing in syria not to get involved as this and they are in for their involvement could result in further implications not just for that country but for the wider world. of course leading countries are closely watching the situation in the region the changes that a far from over it's only the beginning we have to understand that if we want nations to solve their own issues we mustn't interfere especially militarily. we

must support dialogue between the conflicting signs we have to explain to the opposition forces that they have to find an agreement not oust the regime this is a way to a wide scale war that will affect not just the region but countries far beyond. sergey lavrov there outlining russia's position when it comes to international involvement in syria russia firmly opposed to any kind of military intervention there. russia has also been against sanctions on iran's oil exports so what course of action is a foreign minister suggesting in that arena. well a whole new type of scenario is needed with with the west dealing with iran according to said a gay lover of the foreign minister critical of sanctions imposed on the islamic republic saying it that they don't serve the purpose that they've been said that they supposed to do that they sanctions have been put in place apparently to get iran to stop their nuclear development program well the foreign minister saying

that they won't do that at all all the sanctions will do is effect the the lives of every day normal a rainy and as well as damage the rainy an economy of saying that perhaps this was the the overall adventure by the people putting the countries putting in place the sanctions that they are perhaps a attempt to stir up unrest an attempt to produce a a revolt by the people in iran saying that those sanctions on oil exports don't stop iran from developing nuclear power they will only harm the people and the economy. so big issues today what else is on the agenda. well the anti-missile defense shield in eastern europe that was posed by the united states was a major diplomatic for henri of two thousand and eleven and questions are being asked of what's happened there and what will. but in the future now. russia has said they

want dialogue with the united states would say the united states doesn't want dialogue with them when it comes to the shield this is something circular of still speaking at the moment to journalists and we'll be bringing you more on what he says about the missile defense in europe when we get is a little later on. thank you peter all of that and of course you can still see continuing coverage of that news conference with a live translation at r.t. dog. now as we do russia is against any foreign military intervention in syria that's made qatar's a recent proposal to send troops into damascus and u.s. calls to increase international pressure on president assad to step aside however syria is now saying they let arab league monitors extend their mission and. mandate expires but alas this won't allow any change in the scope of their grief the

monitors tasked with ensuring compliance with the peace plan said to present their findings later this week and the less the mission has drawn criticism from inside syria failing to help stop the violence in the east experts at the risk of states are being steered into the highest court. while the arab league was very clear it has said that the that there was cooperation from the syrian side it also has said that there have been groups however there will be pressure from the west to take an attitude or take a position which is more handy harshad so i'm not sure if that be the report will reflect truly the far facts on the ground i think that the report will be will be politicized in order to show that there are some victims who are also sure that our side for example and the syrian army are still practicing oppression you have to remember here that qatar and maybe even turkey is where all of a mind i am used to be leading sunni voice in the. the only arab country which has

a soyuz maybe to intervene which has a military officer stand the rain is egypt and egypt is procope part with its own internal problems so i think this is mere rhetoric which we're hearing from don't think would have the support of a horrible nor would it have the support of sudden western powers as well while they're one of their closest partners that syria had until and to govern and rest of the country was turkey but i turned its back on its one time ally and they were joining the chorus of voices corporation change in damascus for national looks back at the two countries relations. handshake kisses embraces as close friends do in february when this was filmed prime minister and serious president were indeed considered friends back in the ninety's the neighbors were not doing that well together serious support of kurdish separatists drew wedged between the two but by two thousand and three when turkey refused to provide its territory for the

us invasion to iraq golden era in turkey syria relations began with free trade agreement the visa regime dropped and several presidential visits the blue there is became especially close families living in both sides felt they shared a common home the turkish leader was even accepted at markets in the syrian city of aleppo but the honeymoon didn't last long following libya's revolution in two thousand and eleven turkey switched sides support in syria's opposition and aligned with the country's harsh enemy the us enduring thought. iran. iraq. well because now rockets come out quite probably in support of syria and of course the lebanese government by his war has also been very very critical of turkey has been iran has kind of connections transformed the event into a kind of regional problem there's

a problem and i should say that compared with another country it is the syrian problem that can bring the arab spring to international conflict you cannot expect this to happen in egypt but syria has a potential because of these three connections to switch from a zero problem policy with your neighbors to a problem create an position you need good reason turkey seems to have one american means another actor otherwise this gap can be fulfilled by you want maybe by russia so there's a kind of let's say. cohabitation between america and turkey so turkey is helping the u.s. in exchange for some kind of stuff and through this channel turkey is profile is becoming more and more influential some of those who doubt the benefit will be equal for both sides to the turkish economy suffers a lot from the sanctions it supported against syria especially as syria is turkey's expurgated the world for this reason turkey is endeavoring to establish a new exporting of routes to lebanon and through iraq to the gulf states turkey is

policy should be more autonomous should not be identical to that of washington or brussels geographically politically and religiously turkey's always been the crossing point of decidedly different worlds so what's in it for them the governor calculated the only question of car before the syrian government goes and therefore i think it want to put it want to be riding a wave. put on the crest of the way the quest for the wave of reform and change in the middle east and to be seen as the leader of this movement turkey believes that it is set in the middle and long term turkey has more chance to to to get the benefits of the region if our side goes ok then so were tough. but if if if if he doesn't somehow manage to ride this out well there are those it's going to be gone from one phrase you know and they'll have your poor back position that you had

created and actually is not really terrible any longer we've got to deal with you like it or not the rude to no fool we may look slippery but no matter how dangerous it's choice may be they cease to be new will be bad without a u.n. security council resolution it'll be vetoed by russia and china and leave in style intervention will definitely fail in syria change in tactics the western powers turns to this region's countries to get them involved this take is one turkey which has started to play a very important role in this conflict some fear it's perhaps gone too far. r.t. turkey here with r.t. and still ahead occupiers close in on capitol hill and the white house denounced for all the cozy relationship between big business and politics sheens in the us. and of the ousting of the tunisian president of year ago a new government valid a lot of prosperity one region rich in natural resources and the promise hasn't

come to fruition investigate why the females of. the world's most popular online encyclopedia has gone on strike the english language version of wikipedia has shut down for twenty four hours over piracy at a station being debated in the u.s. congress designed to protect copyrighted material critics point out it could also damage internet freedom with their secretive journalist tony ghosting believes the nor is already obsolete media corporations are still hoping to use it to control public opinion. who are the real pirates who are the big guns here in the in the media world and on the internet the answer is the people with the big money who are backed by the banking system wall street etc i mean what we've seen for example the last few days even rupert murdoch coming out and talking about google as the pirates google piracy this is absolute nonsense of course because all google is simply doing is linking to other sites there is existing law which is perfectly

adequate to actually stop people who are doing genuine piracy and also responsible big providers like google and you tube they have perfectly good systems if someone is having their material taken away removed or whatever and just pirated around the internet as they call it then all you do is you you contact those people you explain that this is your material and they're actually very good at identifying that stuff and taking it down when necessary this whole proposal from the industry is really because the internet is is eating in to their monopoly on what we see and hear and i actually like to see the internet do that more and more in the future because we we're getting a bum deal from the mainstream media in the western world what they're doing is they're spinning for stuff far too much and what's happening is that some of the mainstream media newsrooms are becoming chokepoints for the truth the truth simply isn't coming out because they've decided what messages they want the public to hear in the western world. well there's more news an eye catching video twenty four

hours a day at r.t. dot com here's a taste of what's online few right now read about a russian tanker on a mercy mission to a. town an icebreaker to help you through all the storms bring to the launch destination the fuel supply its three thousand residents to make it through the long island plus. they have been captured by iran last year but now the u.s. is set to get its top secret surveillance drone back to catch while it's toyin in times smaller than the original. hundreds of activists from the occupy wall street movement have rallied on capitol hill in washington d.c. decrying corporate influence in america but the event it didn't live up to the hype of organizers who had to draw tens of thousands of people going to church again as more. the protesters have shifted their focus from wall street to capitol hill

and here they are hundreds of protesters gathered in front of the u.s. capitol building they have a permit to protest on this lawn but we have already seen several people arrested. protesters say when the interests of big corporations are at stake their voice their interests no longer count and they're angry at the fact that the influence of money is only set to grow in u.s. politics supreme court's decision now allows cooperations to funnel as much money as they wanted to candidates and protesters say it's legalized corruption. the cozy relationship between big businesses on lawmakers here ledge to the complete lack of oversight over wall street which brought about the financial crisis of two thousand and eight and not just americans were affected but the whole world so people here want money out of politics but it's easier said than done and a lot of people especially outside the movement are very much skeptical about

whether the protests can actually change something some say that the tense and end of banners you know won't change anything what do you say to that i think the tense in the banners are crucial part of being publicized and being public about it because it's so easy to ignore movement unless it's in your face do you think the movement has any impact i mean it's been there for four months right on the movement has a huge impact in that a lot of things that are not even talked about in the political agenda usually are now being talked about there is in the news on a constant basis talking about income inequality the fact that corporations are running our government have stolen our elections on so many times with all the legalized bribery in the campaign finance system and other things that are most legal moving into the night hundreds more you not thousands joined the protest and they marched all the way from capitol hill to the white house.

here they are hundreds of people standing right outside. the movement certainly i mean you see the last of the country. under different. protesters out of their occupied locations but you see more of these one time. one day rallies like this one which started on capitol hill and continued all the way to the white house right here people are here to get their message across a whole lot of young people around but again whether or not these protests will bring any result that that still remains very much on clear. russia's prosecutor general's office has reported almost three thousand violations

through the parliament should action in the senate and initial reports has not been submitted to present reach an advantage report says complaints were received both during the election campaign and the vote so legal proceedings have been noised against ninety five people to call for an investigation after thousands took to the streets of moscow and other cities of claiming widespread for more election so the ruling united russia party would win the majority of seats in the state. foreign support. now a brief look at some headlines from around the world this hour. the search for the twenty four people still missing off the italian cruise line disaster has been suspended off the vessel shifted and left in the bodies have been recovered from the record so most of the water sections of the ship already searched italian orthorexic said they will begin a salvage operation soon to avoid a potential few make. european commission has launched

a region where things are run a little differently from the rest of tunisia where. my father worked in the mine for twenty five years my two brothers worked and died in the mine we live in the mining region our days arranged by the sound of the home from the mine not by calls to prayer. the gas subleasing is home to tunisia's phosphate mines one of the key exports in the country which ranks fifth in the world for phosphate production yet for the past three years the workers and their families have been involved in a bitter struggle with their employer gaffes of phosphates that we never took anything from the government and the authorities have always forgotten about us this year the gaffes are phosphates company or c f g conducted a competition for jobs just like they did in two thousand and eight we hope their choices would be based on a different criteria this time but they weren't. shares involvement in support

action for the miners during the authoritarian rule of president ben ali resulted in a prison term. in two thousand and eight we went on strike with the miners and were arrested all those who supported them lawyers teachers professors we were told we were an organized gang who wanted to overthrow the regime. the government's been and gone since then but the problems remained so the strikes continue unemployment in the region is at a staggering fifty five percent and while local residents believe they should be given priority when it comes to filling jobs at the mine the c.g.s. has been employing people from other regions and there are no jobs for those whose parents died or were injured in the mines their families never received any compensation for their loss they have been protesting here for six months will stay here for a year two years however long it takes to resolve this problem. though many tunisians hope the ousting of autocratic ben ali will improve situation in the country the

reality is rather bleak. evolution hasn't solved the economic issues which have been happening for months now the provisional government hasn't even begun looking at ways of beslan poverty. for these workers any delay in solving this crisis cost lives. people are killing themselves others are leaving. country and some have died because they were too poor to afford medical help. after the tunisian revolution and the new provisional government has promised a life of prosperity and better employment opportunities for workers in this mining town once passed by but the miners say the situation has only got worse the region's location far from the political center of the country means their plight is as a movable to the new government as it was to the old one if you go scar to tunisia or katie's up next now the latest business news.
