what tonight you live in moscow marina joshie what they do national pressure mounting on syria's president the e.u. is reading fresh sanctions against the regime russia says it will block any u.n. security council move to authorize military intervention in the country saying dialogue is the only way out of the ongoing violence the syrian government and the opposition remain at loggerheads as time runs out for manny in the country or to serve first reports. but how do you stop the fractured country from falling apart a country where some cities now resemble a was a where the economy's on its knees and when children being shot dead on the streets . it's a question everybody's desperately trying to find an answer to you right now nobody

knows what's going to happen some are calling for military intervention others a calling for dialogue this sit in case is not isolated. and i mention i mention the west and i mentioned the russian that mention. everybody has its own interests but russian foreign minister sergei lavrov re-offend that most k. would not authorize a un resolution involving military intervention has struck a resident chord with the main opposition in the country. we refuse on principle any type of military foreign intervention because it threatens the freedom of our country often model damascus has promised to push through reforms including parliamentary elections she later this year to some head that's simply not enough. this could have been done in the past but the killing in the violence pushed the population and the opposition and the people not to believe anymore in the promises of the regime. protestors had started by calling for reforms and now more than ten

months into the unrest and they simply want president assad to go on. your back. that many in syria right now simply want peace in their country they hate reforms might be a way to achieve that. the president announced we will have an expanded government and independent opposition all the parts were included this would be better for us all having different opinions is much better than having a one sided discussion on a few new moon. she can see the opposition want to take on the new fools why not we're all syrians are true we all care about our country. as a country descends deeper into crisis everyone's desperate to find a resolution it's take that the government reforms will go some way to building a bridge between the two sides but these were forms have been a long time coming and with so many lives already lost they going to have come at

a very high price so not see the best guess. plus there is also updating what's happening online and you can follow her blog at r.t. dot com for her first hand experiences from syria the former british ambassador to syria faisal eastwood doesn't hold much optimism that the crisis will be resolved anytime soon with no effective opposition to replace president asad i don't think there is a b. plan syria is sliding into a probably largely sectarian civil war. there is no government in waiting there is this syrian national council which is based outside syria which has a temporary president. but it does not command universal support amongst the dissidents. and its links to those who are

actually on the streets were armed or unarmed in syria seems somewhat tenuous at times. well from divided syria to war stricken leave you in a few minutes we'd best why countries who were pushing so strongly for regime change in tripoli are now clamoring for business contracts in the country also. hundreds of russians around the country will be observing the day of the epitome as that they dive into and subzero would find out if i would take the plunge if i'm brave enough to do it. washington is fully prepared for an armed conflict with iran says the u.s. defense department the pentagon chief leon panetta says there is still room for dialogue but sufficient military forces are in the persian gulf in case to iran decides to block a vital oil rued there now this comes after iran said i would close the strait of hormuz only if the country's security and the security of its nuclear facilities is

threatened tehran is bad by russia which has military action would bring disastrous results iran agreed to resume six party talks over its atomic program but there are fears the country is already under attack after the latest murder of one of its nuclear scientists which to iran blames on. former cia officer philip ravi says military confrontation in the gulf could lead to a new world war. 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 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 once the president has a major war the worst case scenario is world war three i'm afraid i think over war is being waged. by the united states and israel i think in this case the actual pillars of the scientists were who were probably a rainy as they were recruited by mossad or the cia outside of iran and then sent in to do the work and i believe that the intelligence used to locate this man and to target them probably came from the united states and probably was intelligence that was shared with israel. the u.k. has admitted for the first time that it was using a fake rock to help spy on russia six years ago the chief of staff to the then british pm tony blair has revealed in an interview that it was highly embarrassing when the secret was exposed and two thousand and six in the january of that year report on russian television claimed british spies hit electronic equipment inside a fake wrong they then used paul computers to transmit and receive information at

the time russian security service described it as an absolutely new spy technology but tony blair laughed off the organizations while the u.k. foreign office deny the claims. of the. war scarred leiby is slowly rebuilding its cities and its economy western companies and entrepreneurs are a buzz at the profit making opportunities the country now presents and as excited boy the reports it's the same powers to help destroy the regime there are now lining up for a chance to cash. they may have how bring down the house. but they were very careful not to burn bridges as libya rises from the ashes of civil war the countries that poured the oil into the fire and now lining to cash seen undoing the damage the believe that russia benefited more than all others from trading with get out his regime is very widespread here in tripoli but it's simply not true in two thousand and ten most call was number seventeen on the lease to

also involved in rebuilding iraq in afghanistan after the u.s. led invasion and lead to is familiar turf he even says the country's business potential make shamble all over their post conflict areas there's nothing they don't need here you know if you compare to like the united states everything they need everything we have you know everything there infrastructure has to be totally redone all the all the personal abuse you know and some of the things we were involved you know was executive centers with golf courses theme parks these people . i haven't really had any entertainment all these years so now you can imagine getting you know a theme park or a little disneyland americans are not the only ones just looking for food called turkish airlines was the first to resume commercial flights to tripoli and they're now packed with businessman scouting for opportunities. even during good at this time turkey was pretty comfortable doing business in libya and was triple his fourth largest trade partner lost here but many now hope for even better deals

following its early recognition of the rebel authorities definitely few have a strong relations with. itself with its confesses place and instrumental for the business. is not. the only ones who are still far slower hundred claiming their business interest in libya or russia and china both countries for vocal in their opposition to the use of force in libya a stance that has already backfired most russian companies who did business in libya prior to the war are still has it into personal bag x. parts of war and that the waiting game may not be the best strategy. we're going to lose like we lost iraq syria and yemen will follow they see they can drive russian others out of the market and then take advantage we have to work there we will take

measures we're going to enter those markets are waiting for us if interim government see we don't take eriksson he will say a few words about russian businesses being driven out then just step aside. but the ones losing the most i believe themselves in two thousand and ten their economy grew by about ten percent reaching abbey thinglike got the growth now seems as have a load as building the country from scratch on a boy car to see. the nearly eighty years quickly putting its past. behind a but the children of the country's late leader are seeking justice for the death of their father talks to the lawyer of colonel gadhafi as daughter about her determination to happy is murder fully investigated. the father was murdered in the brutal fashion. the whole world saw with. prosecutor the international criminal court has an obligation to investigate all aspects of the conflict which was referred to the united nations security council. that would include also the normal
