and the oil is reached they install a sort of giant valve several stories high over the drilling been done it and the engineers have a very pretty nickname for it. but. the point here we are in front of the christmas tree is that when you cool it the christmas tree which yeah the christmas tree it's the wellhead and ridges and charges that was based on you since you have all this must stay here i think. yes. i've. faced oh yeah. yeah. so if it was a. christmas tree there'd be days if i didn't want to for that why this is it's what i was going on with the price i'm going to go back seventh son to fires going up we will be to go to. my profit but it was good to do

arab league officials say their observer mission in syria will be extended for an extra month criticism from the syrian opposition which wants to see. croatia is voting on whether the country should join the e.u. the issue was already protests and violent clashes the block continued to be shaken by anti austerity rallies with people now in romania rising up against their government. i don't know the stories that shaped this week tensions around

nuclear program stirred further by. iranian oil and the u.s. is building up its was shipped. on the power of the internet in action a massive online backlash over u.s. plans to expand the web censorship at least to the suspension. of the top stories of today and all of this week you're watching the weekly with me rule. this news just coming in now are a big officials have decided that will continue to work inside syria for another month the group also intends to increase the number of observers and they'll receive training by the u.n. the mission expires this week but violence is still flaring up in parts of the

country one of the latest outbreaks fourteen were killed when up. police car transporting prisoners was ambushed in the northwest and also you see sarah photos being to the town of zabadani it's been one of the sites of some of the fiercest battles between security forces and opposition groups. this is the area that you see in the so-called free syrian army take control of and in the last few days a temporary ceasefire because between the government forces and free syrian army so we've seen inside the city to see what's been happening certainly it's an area extremely divided on one side you've got the government in control of the side the free syrian army but it's actually in actual fact very very difficult to know exactly who is in charge here the people's houses that we were showing in the city center had been absolutely devastated by the fighting the arab league observers have been meeting some of the government officials here in downtown started telling

me to try and establish exactly what it is that's been happening in the city but the children have been showing us some of the bullet casings that they've found around the area at all the houses in this part you can see the destruction from the fighting that's being going on there to see a very similar to life in this area it was extremely concerning that people who are still living here to extremely dangerous situation it's not really clear who exactly is in charge she's thinking hey and that makes the situation very very dangerous and the seeming cost of the conflict in syria has been devastatingly high and absolutely essential for everyone right now is to find some kind of resolution that this is an end to the might is. money that is done. and of the opposition syrian national council says it plans to press the u.n. security council for intervention in the country ripped apart by an arrest the

council believes that arab league observers have been useless at ending the crisis and insists that foreign involvement is the only way out was auntie's murray financial reports there are doubts about the opposition leader's true motives. holly told jeff from the syrian national council the country's main official opposition body says making the people's voice louder and bring an end to the violence is what the essence he was created for our main goal is to help the syrian people there present them and their two national committee in order to reach this syrian people freedom although it's been run by paris based exile that hamdani in the essence he has been recognized as the country's legitimate government by the new libyan authorities and supported by some and nato countries which has made some doubt the council's innocent intentions with regards to libya

the promise that nato made to the national transitional council perspective leaders was that they be given a major seat at the table in a new libya so there is power broking going on behind the scenes and i absolutely wager that the same thing is happening with syria they've either been bought off financially or they've been promised a major role in a new syrian regime libya's national transitional council and the syrian national council well it's not just their names they haven't come and supported and sponsored from abroad i think he likes opposition forces and their major goal is to overthrow the regime but there is a difference to the absences headquarters are not in damascus but here in istanbul we are not talking about democratic regime if i go to syria now we have. you know we have to be executed there howlett says he spent fifteen years in jail in the one nine hundred seventy s.

and eighty's just because his father supported the opposition he claims nothing has changed since then and the oppression has to stop but how is another matter claiming they're only going to rely on political and diplomatic pressure the asson see to it. is now carburetor in with the free syrian army fighters who have defected from assad's military in was a clear shift from the essences initial entirely known armed peaceful stance. the cows who also sees humanitarian corridors and buffer zones as options to protect civilians in syria even though these might mean foreign troops arriving this is a top is all carriers of operation were to syria that gas was being used to at us and i. made to work at that because they don't want they want to destabilize syria because they want syria to be part of nato at least league to label the opposition claims is just a matter of time before the joint efforts sooner or later will force president

assad out while his determined to stay but the question remains exactly how long should these people have to wait for the bloodshed to stop and how many of them will actually see the end of it. turkey. and i news out of tripoli now where the deputy leader of libya's ruling national transitional council says he's resigning after a series of protests against the country's new rulers on saturday crowds stormed the council's headquarters in the city of benghazi angry at the slow pace of democratic change protesters threw stones and metal bars of the building and the first acts of violence against libya's brand new interim leaders demonstrators have been rallying for weeks in benghazi the epicenter of last year's revolution against colonel gadhafi the accuse the leadership of lacking transparency and want to know how libya's assets would be used radio host and author steven lensman believes protests will continue against the government the crowd see as puppets of the west

. i think the government is taking orders from the government in washington and that's the way it's been all about and very good the libyan war the real one we'll be seeing in washington using their proxies sitting in. tripoli. or is all more rebel fighters they complain you know paid promptly they're treated properly. while i was with dried up they have people who were promised they would stay here and these people that have no say whatsoever everything is been secretly in d.c. government ghostface is a puppet which is. serving western interests absolutely any no interest in ordinary libyans the tribes of libya a united in a resistance against needle in a sea m.t.c.

government they want the country i expect retracted violence here a degree anything can happen. it's good to have you with us here on r.t. and still ahead a few in the program another country trying to rise from a revolution egypt now faces the consequences of democracy they fought so hard for as islamists sweep the board in recent elections. anger reaches a boiling point in romania which source worst violence in years as anti austerity protesters clashed with police for the second week running now people have been demanding that the president and the government step down that's against a backdrop of wage cuts and tax increases and the e.u.'s second poorest country struggling to meet the demands of its international creditors and here's our tom barton are from because rest. night and day they come to scream their defiance biting austerity and the feeling the government isn't listening have

spilled over into anger even violence. our youth has no future they have no jobs. motive water is sixty she's worked all her life in a textile factory in book arrest but now she is forced to pay for her social security out of her small pension. they need to give us a fair pension and not tell us they're boring the money because they don't have it . or is not just here for herself her son left for me here to italy to try and find work young rumanians feel trapped and directing most of their anger at the president. protesters accuse him of trampling over democracy and presiding over a political elite riddled with corruption. who wants to descend down down with disaster as our parents left us with a heritage and we're leaving our children with just debt an international monetary

fund loan in two thousand and nine came with tough conditions the remaining in government has tried to force its financial house into water budget benefit cuts slashed pay pension freezes falling living standards but some say it's the people who are now being forced to pay for the mistakes of the few who steered the country to economic disaster. this was done at the expense of there are many in state and now those who hadn't been guilty for their situation they didn't even profited from it to pay for those who had profited. the government blames international economic conditions however for the country's worst doings let's not forget that we're in the eye of a storm of an economic european storm all around us unfortunately is a mighty tempest with economic consequences that inevitably affect us to just not good enough so the opposition who argue of course that they could do better than

what every day discouraged inefficient government stays in power as a dane last for rumania or jews used to shorten the period as much as we can once fast as we can by fair elections with many of them accepting there is no escape economically politics for them offers the only hope of change and that leads straight back out onto the streets. these. days and build on. them there was terror to much of. the president about to be here and you can see why remain you want to tear it all down and start again. and it is a decision day in croatia for people who are now voting on accession the outcome is hard to predict as recent surveys show the issue has split the country right down

the middle on saturday police clashed with protesters attempting to pull down an e.u. flag just ahead of the referendum if there is old is yes a vote croatia will join the block by july next year but only if its membership is approved by all twenty seven states investment advisor patrick young says it's easy to understand those opposing the move because croats see how the euro neighbors have been suffering. the key consideration here is that when we look at the croatian referendum there's been barely one and p. in the entire parliament who's actually been turning round and publicly saying anything against the e.u. itself so the fact that we have this amazing grind swell of support at something like forty percent easing credible it demonstrates the fact that the political classes are completely and utterly eyed of touch with what the people are thinking and what the people are thinking is quite simple they've seen near the existing

similar who are emerging european countries such as themselves people like slovakia slovenia as stony are all coming into the european union they join the euro zone and they find it the worst choice and challenge the marginal because slovakia nurses and pensioners are not getting paid a third of what they would get paid if they were working in greece and to add insult to injury they are actually paying money to the greeks in order to support their euro zone belike so they see neighboring countries such as hungary i mean the government of hungry for the past two weeks have been vilified by the european union i'm not going to get into the argument to find whether or not the prime minister is right or wrong there but certainly people get very very and feel very very uneasy about things that are being said. patrick young there talking about a new pressure on hungary and on saturday crowds of more than one hundred thousand took to the streets in the capital but a past they were supporting their government which recently came under fire from the e.u. for passing what brussels considered to be anti democratic laws it also stalled

bell out talks with the i.m.f. prompting threats of court action this week the hunger and prime minister backed down in the raul saying the legislation will be changed. well ati's tom barton is in the region he's following all of the developments for us but you can check out our twitter feed as well as thomas personal one for the latest on hungary's dispute with the e.u. as well as croatia is a referendum the latest updates on line of for you right now. in watching r.t. europe and the u.s. have expressed their willingness to return to talks with iran over its controversial nuclear program but despite that the e.u. is seemingly still set to approve an embargo on iranian oil france even says the time to avoid a military intervention is running out fast and as for the u.s. this week it strengthened its presence in the region by sending a second aircraft carrier to the arabian sea it's reportedly planning to sail

straight through the strait of hormuz which iran has threatened to block in response to sanctions or the strait is a strategic waterway which the majority of oil exports from the gulf to the west have to pass through brian becker from the anti war coalition says washington is deliberately escalating the situation to create a pretext for regime change in iran. 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 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 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. in iran was the main issue discussed by american and israeli military officials when they got together on friday the two allies are over the need for a preemptive strike against iranian nuclear sites washington urging not to rush into an attack but as artie's paula reports many in israel are still expecting a war at any moment with indications that covertly warfare is already well underway from this rather spartan recording studio in jerusalem when he has been reaching out to people in iraq.
