could take place in cairo sergey lavrov said should they break down should they not come to fruition then russia was willing to step in to mediate and broker a peace in it both the opposition and the syrian government will welcome to come here to russia to try and sort out their problems sort out their problems but one thing that sergey lavrov was. there was very strong on was reiterating russia's pushtuns that they will not tolerate any form of international interference international military interference into syria very pointed a finger towards the united states accusing washington of having led from behind when it came to the crisis that we saw in twenty eleven in libya. saying that said the level of and the russian government did not want to see a similar situation of foreign military intervention happening in syria warning the u.s. not to try this lead from behind tactic as he put it when it comes to syria saying

that international military intervention of that kind can have huge ramifications saying that it can spread beyond the borders and become a major international incident where you of course leading countries are closely watching the situation in the region that changes there 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. gay lover of they're saying that russia supports dialogue in bringing about peace in syria and warns other nations against attending any kind of foreign military intervention. so the un security council's mulling over russia's latest draft resolution on syria that was put forward this. the kremlin says it's balanced of

aims to appease all sides in the conflict while the u.s. is continuing to garner calls to get president assad to go into syria itself the warring sides have agreed now to a cease fire in a city near the capital but the government crackdown reportedly grinds on the last in the flashpoint city of homs later this week arab league observers will deliver a verdict about whether the regime is complying with a peace plan it will then decide if it should extend its mission or ask the u.n. to intervene katter's already proposed sending in troops and even turkey syria's neighbor a former ally has turned its back on assad of his rare for national looked into before. handshake kisses embraces as close friends do in february when this was filmed to this prime minister and syria's president where indeed considered france back in the ninety's the neighbors were not doing that well together series support of kurdish separatists drew wedged between the two but by two thousand and three when turkey refused to provide its syria's three 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 on both sides felt the shared a common home the turkish lira 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 star its support in syria's opposition and aligned with the country's harsh enemy the us enduring thought they have. iran prevent iraq. well because now rockets come out quite strongly in support of syria and of course the lebanese government but hizbollah has also been very very critical of turkey to switch from a zero problem plus you with your neighbors to a problem create an position you need good reason turkey seems to have one america

needs another actor otherwise this gap can be fulfilled by you want maybe by russia so there's a kind of let's see. co-habitation being an american talking so turkey is helping do this 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 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 people

who calculate the only question of cart before the syrian government goes and therefore i think it want to put it want to be riding a wave ok 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 of turkey believes that it is set in the middle and long term turkey has no chance to to get the benefits of the region if it goes ok then so were tough. but it would if it doesn't somehow manage to ride this out well there are supposed to be eight on someone's face you know and they'll have to pull back from a position that you had to clear actually is not really terrible any longer you've got to deal with this couple you like it or not the route to keys no fooling me look slippery but you mention how dangerous it's choice may be the seems to be new but he without a u.n. security council resolution it will be vetoed by russia and china believe 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 isn't turkey which has started to play a very important role in this conflict some fear it's perhaps gone too far. r.t. turkey. well as his media briefing in moscow foreign minister lavrov also stressed the kremlin stepping up efforts to prevent war the persian gulf to russia thinks a western attack on iran would be catastrophic for the entire region ryan says it's ready to resume international discussion about its nuclear program but that won't come easy the six party talks broke down a year ago with the west suspecting around of developing a nuclear bomb a tougher you would bargain iranian oil is already in the pipeline and surrounds threatening to block a vital fuel transitting route if restrictions do prove harmful to it the u.s. says it will use force to keep it open something american middle east policy analyst for told me could spark world war three. if iran even makes an attempt to

block the straits of hormuz oil prices will probably double or treble this saying is that the real danger here is that it could produce a shooting war if the united states does follow through on its resolve to keep the straits open which will be that easy and i think that it virtually guarantees that iranian naval forces and u.s. naval forces would come into conflict with a worst case scenario is world war three i'm afraid the problem is that iran is is surrounded by a number of countries that are essentially hostile to it and some of them are nuclear armed and this is a perfect cauldron for for starting something with a very minor relatively minor incident that escalates and escalates and escalates and winds up as a as a major war morning thought with more pain analysis on the run just of an hour's time to wind people up to break the country's nuclear program the effectiveness of current western sanctions. we had tim geithner going around the world trying to get

countries not to import a rainy and oil i mean from trans perspective that's basically an act of war you're going to choke off their economy why should be. people be punished. really it's punished you can go to the relations between economic sanctions and military action one is who within the realm of the. peaceful measures the other something that could spark a war. spark a war and. go to go back to go ahead. in fire to really make the mistake of implying the sanctions are just peaceful means they're not they are coersion they killed innocent and for the latest round of sanctions i mean you go back to iraq half a million children die the future of iraq was destroyed and malin albright turned around and said it was worth it now you apply sanctions because you don't want to

expend the military expenses you can or iran to sit back and have no casualties and the war chest would definitely be depleted so sanctions are imposed hoping the iranian people would get so fed up they would overthrow their own regime and it hasn't worked for two years so they're trying other ways other means of making this happen. every day billions of people turn to one website as a one stop shop for their encyclopedic research but right now if you're about to do it you'll see this. deliberately blocking out its english language websites join a twenty four hour protest against anti-piracy bills making their way through u.s. congress if passed that allow the government to block search engine links to any website which may contain what's perceived as copyright material laws are designed to protect people's work from big shared without permission or pavement but

internet campaign a say that would go way too far the foundation behind we could pedia says the laws would make it impossible for information sites like theirs to operate what we've achieved already is getting the debate going we've been talking about this for weeks and weeks and weeks in america in congress trying to get people to understand that this may have some good intentions in the bill but the actual effects of it will be to crush sites like wikipedia and so the fact that in the end as a community we decided to take the english version down for a day has meant that people are listening to us at last i'm talking and already in america we're beginning to see people say well hang on this is probably not the right way to go about fighting piracy because look at what it's going to do to sites like wikipedia so we're not happy we've done it but we think that it's a very important thing to do just to make sure that people realize the threat to the liberty of the freedom of speech and information that these two bills in

american congress pose and wikipedia is not the only site to take itself the day r.t. has been hearing from others who agree that the bill could jeopardize any website. our fear is that the law would have unintended consequences never could be used to threaten innocent websites like ours the laws badly written it's full of descriptions of technical stuff and it creates censorship tools right out of the authoritarian playbook very aggressive libel laws people because everything is published everywhere on the internet people will shop for the venue in london or they want to sue someone for libel and the same could be true for copyright infringement when this kind of thing goes through the basic problem is that us bodies have been given control of fundamental parts of the internet like the domain name system and the more us politicians try to interfere with how it works the bigger problem when it comes for the rest of the world. i'm sure you've got thoughts on this one either way your opinion matters to us let us know what you think about the anti-piracy bills at r.t. dot com this is what you're telling us so far tonight so far the majority of you

are sixty six percent pretty constant all night believe. it's a conspiracy to kill freedom of speech right a quarter of you think it's a cash grab by greedy entertainment group giants and final split between saying it is not overstated period of what started as a noble cause and whether it's not only stand the parson drive big man buy paranoid techies that's what you're telling us i'm sure they'll love being called paranoid techies but they don't call it what you could have your this big story today. and where do you turn in a world without the kapadia to use is almost filling the gap with a few fun facts of their own just taken with a pinch of salt online. and stripping to make a statement there are together why members of this controversial ukrainian women's group are displaying their anger at india this time the sex trade.

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 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

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 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 bedlam poverty. for these workers any delay in solving this crisis cost lives a lot of people are killing themselves others are leaving. the country and some have died because they were too poor to afford medical help. after the tunisian

revolution in 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 unreasonable to the new government as it was to the old one in the goals carty tunisia goes was used to cover for the next thirty minutes review nobilis get up to speed with tuesday's business from moscow live right now with current america . a welcome to our business i think this our euro zone debt problems have made the world bank cut its two thousand and twelve global economy growth forecast to two and a half percent the bank also lowered its outlook on russia however its economy is expected to grow faster than most countries and which three and a half percent this year jacob nelle from morgan stanley outlines the reasons
