monitors arab league they've also called on president bashar al assad to delegate power to his vice president and form a national unity government with the opposition they've also called for international support by preparing their case for the u.n. security council and it's the extra push many people here in syria have been calling for. to prepare to be friendly. to homs the conflict has moved ever closer to the country's capital now many damascus suburbs are also embroiled in the conflict between government forces and the armed opposition. well this is all that's left of many of the houses now inside just absolutely gutted it's broken glass you've got bullet holes lining the walls you've got clothes staying around the house where people have left them behind fleeing very quickly you can really see the devastating consequences that this conflict has hurt the picking up the pieces where you prove easy amongst the opposition

piling up on iran and you ministers have reportedly come to an agreement to apply president to block wide ban on arena while you're obsessed it'll be for the common good will make to iran to rethink its nuclear program which israel and its allies see as a threat or spotted just brings us more on a dangerous these sanctions could pose. foreign ministers of the twenty seven member states of the european union are meeting today and one of the most important issues on the table are that of the sanctions on iran it is expected that they will pass on presidents and sanctions targeting the country's oil and financial sectors this will be the toughest to date and it's of course over the controversial nuclear program. that iran is on a dangerous path towards acquiring nuclear weapons has consistently denied this now these talks on the back of twenty seven nations having to deal with a sovereign debt crisis for almost two years now there are countries like france for instance who really want to see science has implemented as soon as possible in

a couple of months. of about twelve months so today they're expected to give the detail on the timeline somewhere between the three to eight months that will satisfy all of the member states now the embargo followed. passed into law by president obama in january and collectively if all these sanctions are fully implemented you will see about two point six million barrels of oil taken off of international markets which is of course putting markets into very. and on the other hand the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton says that she expects the e.u. to pressure iran to back to the negotiation table so again today we're expecting to see details on the timeline of the implementation of sanctions as. expected several more names of companies individuals financial institutions those a list of sanctions but any decision that they come to today has to be unanimous.

a late sixty's name it's a tense here in the creation capital and financing has been going believe her it's well now police want to take people away in advance of protest is trying to stop the run for their money was. not. allowed through. these empty protests to say the government is trying to suppress the dissenting voices they are joining with surrender croatia's independence to brussels. yes i believe that couple in another street nearby the foreign minister is trying to convince people that accession is vital to the craft economy actually with the stability that scale can wait it into the credit rating of creation. that is translated into membership of the european union gracious budget would be in serious trouble everywhere you turn in croatia the e.u.

is being discussed but whereas most of the political class no longer question the europhiles stands public views differ widely. italians will come into our see and touch all our fish and that's our biggest creditor you know if you think of their affiliates though they told us we have to obey the e.u. has regulations those that don't want to obey must stop trading political target those of us here who are small family business and the european union commissions everything toward big shopping centers to some other it is but they are not socialist here in memphis you know we have two sons turn employed and maybe because of that i would be prior secret to most of december's work and all their legitimate worries about sovereignty local industry and education or maybe well being a former student and there are still some voices in parliament that think the benefits of what joining it were. we're not going with our heads

integration of migrants in russia that these problems over the last twenty years since the collapse of the soviet union were very serious indeed in our problems that russia is still struggling to to deal with today speaking about what the results can be of migration going wrong he warned of the rise of nationalism the rise of xenophobia these type of issues that we saw acted out in real life eight in moscow in two thousand and ten with ethnic clashes taking place and you know square right next to the kremlin in the heart of the russian capital he hits out at those that seem nationalism right he hit out at those who have you slogans such as stop feeding and stop funding the caucuses saying well the caucuses are a part of russia talking of multiculturalism he said that russia had a very unique system of multiculturalism something very different to say what happens in europe where he said basically multiculturalism had failed and that russia system was something that had to be a very different manner of law to me and said that there's no way that you can

completely get rid of all illegal immigration into russia but if he's elected president in the elections in march that he hopes to be able to to make significant cuts to the amount of people that are arriving in russia illegally now he wants to do this by toughening the laws to try and deter people from entering the country illegally he also wants to see a system put in place not just to monitor foreign immigrants coming into russia but also to monitor internal migrants also if i twenty thirty he wants to see an exam put in place to those wanting to come and settled and live and work in russia but they have to be able to pass the russian language exam also an exam on russian culture russian history so those are the things that he wants to to. place to talk about the issue of migration and multiculturalism in russia. meanwhile the presidential race in the u.s. is also picking up pace and is now the primary stage enormous amounts of money have already been spent on backing the candidates coming up at eleven thirty am g.m.t.

high ranking council delegates from benghazi it's the latest sign of discord in the country's interim leadership and comes amid a rising tide of discontent among libyans right swept through benghazi at the weekend as thousands took to the streets of the city where they are to get out the uprising began in protesters accuse the m.d.c. of corruption being slow in bringing in reform and favoring former government loyalists there's also criticism from analysts that the council's may go is to secure a western oil interests rather than to establish democracy. mission in libya for example who's not in the country maybe already had the highest standard of living in all of north africa whether libya does have is the mind. the largest work global oil reserve and the top or oil reserve in africa and that is what the national transitional council are being supported for in order that they should promote western oil companies western financial interests in libya and the people will just have to be rid of the people have already been killed

a little veritable genocide has taken place as we've seen in iraq so in a way the same pattern is repeated over and over again we are there's a double standard they say that they are promoting democracy but what they are basically doing is promoting the financial and political interests of the global power elite embedded inside the united states britain the european union and israel a spokesman for british civilians for peace in libya secant don says the national transitional council is failing to unite the country the gadhafi regime could control the whole of libya could find peace amongst all the tribes the new regime cannot even control something in one town or one area i mean they turn libya into a war and if the hunting of black skins they have they're selling off their oil and natural resources and sovereignty to nato and now the thieves that is the rebels they are all falling out with each other so really this is freedom and democracy by nato it's all become very clear people of syria and the people of lebanon and.
