dimension political analyst steven lemon believes the arab league should not have suspended its mission just as western powers in open conflict. oh my goodness that sounds like a no fly zone to different language it was an open sesame to direct intervention meeting the observers were sitting it to syria they picked the wrong man to leave the mission because sudanese general be they thought the air man in charge who would deliver the goods against the side believing him for everything going oh i don't know what a general we do he said a start is cooperating it's exactly the opposite of what the west want to be here they wanted a precarious just step up whatever they have in mind which is some kind of. the best solution is that we're serious civil it's all going to see it's usually a chimera opposition in syria syria is an authoritarian state

a reporter in the when we've got yet recorded we get to go get a national poll that apparently got some credibility so that jari of syrians back for america and britain and the arab league and theirs to intervene in syria years and three years and to have an arrogant resolution saying and all the power do what you are unique in the weeks well a south absolutely should in diplomatic way which told these people to go to hell that was there steven lemon will admit intensifying fighting between the syrian army and opposition groups starting sort of first going to an area near the capital which was recently taken over by rebel fighters and she reports although the opposition is united against the regime they are poles apart on their methods. a clear message from the protesters in this suburb of damascus as a funeral takes place. we don't want killing we don't want to. see children killing we don't read them we don't we will do you have to

11:03 am
even worse a whole lot of security position has caused some areas to get out of control it seems that there is a war between two groups outside the country and it's the syrian national council pitching itself as the main opposition but it too has failed to unify the many different opposition factions and this lack of unity has hampered the calling coups to direct u.n. involvement russia and china remain firmly opposed to a resolution that would leave the door open to foreign military intervention and a far cry from previous schools to dialogue qatar and saudi arabia no tool to bring the opposition in the spirit to cost even more lives the same in a nice lead to find. rebel groups you have to work with the other side working with the other side. of. the f.s.a. say they have little choice but to use weaponry to protect civilians. who have

these means square here in town with people who come out and protest every evening the security forces try to come in but we protect them but this is what's happening here that it remains a precarious situation in the limits of confusion the crowd gets nervous and starts to run at one point gunshots still says where they come from or from who i know you can't believe it that a lot of confusion here on the safe even if you're reading in a different direction it's not exactly sure what's going on at all that really not a safe situation severe right now and all of this happening just fifteen minutes from the city center is just a day before it seemed egypt for a government demonstrations so position can show continues to gain ground the divisions within the country have never been clearer. that only you can bet. that everybody and their.

11:08 am
people trying to keep them accountable so when they discover that the government is supporting something without it was purely political answer to no we don't believe any more of this but this considers the harm governments are pretty nice in the steadily scenes of their point of view or order a tactic and the and know that they might not ratify act and they will have a second fault so after a week of ignorance i think suddenly they realize that the protests are much deeper much broader and. to become law in poland actor needs the approval of the polish and european parliament nobody knows for sure how long this might take but protesters say they will continue piling the pressure on the authorities to stop this happening i think it came as a complete shock nobody expected nobody expected. to. do this kind of thing i think there will be a lot of. these two weeks i think because. i think.

the. prime minister has been adamant warsaw would not give in to blackmail in the streets with what was initially acquired social protest has become politically broader with every rally ask elating in both the numbers present and the level of aggression let's see russia. reporting from warsaw in poland. as european liberty campaign a dominated by have skin believes the polish government should have listened to the public because they're the web's real stakeholders. it'd substrates it's my violating those basic freedoms and in there you know too much with the freedom i'll use there without really attacking the big violators of the internet and those internet providers those confines which are taking advantage of the fear i see in the internet and the first thing we
11:10 am
should be aware with this process is that people are feeling that they were cheated by the government then that something is wrong that there were no consultation and there was no possibility of a debate before therefore as of the signature of the document there were many at times in the recent year or reapers minds to have the internet and as my time people have they pressure on that the government is taking some steps without compensation without hearing in turnout and the internet users. you watching our heads just just tell you for how we find out how even the wind chills don't stop global warming getting people hot under the collar. they don't care about the planet until until it affects them personally and finally half the world we live in get a resident ask people in new york what they would sacrifice to save the planet got
11:11 am
some interesting answers coming up but then we skid that all the sochi two skiers put the slopes through their paces for the first time before they you know welcome the winter olympics finest in two years the clock ticks. the ratings firms keep raining the blows on the beleaguered eurozone no fitch has downgraded five countries they include spade in italy which are of course the big worries because of this size if they fail your leaders in key financier's are struggling to try to find a remedy to the debt crisis at the annual world economic forum laura lister's been there all week for a small and good to see you again are delegates any further towards finding some sort of solutions on day four as it is now in davos. it's a great question kevin it certainly is still the top topic here we've seen leaders not only from the euro zone but from other countries financial and political leaders also continuing to fight and to argue over the proper solutions for the
11:12 am
eurozone crisis and at the center of it is a lot of people pushing for a larger bailout fund for a for a secure fire wall the irony is that as they're talking about this we hear from an exclusive that reuters had a european source has reported that germany wants greece to hand over control of its fiscal budget as a condition for the next bailout package the further irony is that we've seen capitalism really be one of the topics one of the issues here at this davos questioning of capitalism in its current form is still serving the global and these western nations and i just heard david cameron in his remarks at davos asked about this and he said you know despite the problems i still believe that the capitalism in its current form and western democracies is the best first serving freedom and democracy at the same time that we see not only technocrats managing it to push through very difficult budgetary reforms in italy in greece these are people that
11:13 am
were not democratically elected now the argument is that the parliaments are democratically elected by the people and the parliaments chose these technocrats but that's supposed to happen in emergency situations you have to ask you know if the passage you ations of war which have initiated these kind of emergency governments and technocrats and sold if these financial situations are the same thing and now to go a step further we have germany wanting greece to hand over control over its budget entirely this sovereignty over its fiscal matters at the same time that the backdrop where we're hearing that this is the best situation for democracy. last couple of months. very thing might have an interesting it may be coming to pos ok the wood inequality is well never far from the surface of also following on from of but also bring occupy protests was being said about. you know it's really interesting because we've been talking about the occupy protesters and we've seen
11:14 am
klaus schwab the founder of the world economic forum want to have a meeting with him and be outspoken about the problems of inequality and in fact income inequality or inequality itself is identified by the world economic forum as the top risk for two thousand and twelve in past years it's been things like the decline of asset prices and in two thousand and twelve that's the top risk interesting language right it's not a problem that needs to be addressed it's not it's really you know making life so difficult for so many across the globe it's a risk and to that point i was just picking within golden he's a professor he used to be with the world bank he's been coming to davos for fifteen years he said even though it's grown at the end of the day this is still represents the business elite of the globe and he said that the people here are concerned about inequality in so far as it is a threat to that and they see that people here that have a vested interest in protecting their wealth are seeing a growth in these movements like occupy that they believe could threaten their
11:15 am
wealth could change taxation laws could lead to populist movements and social unrest that threaten their position so there you have your concern over inequality good to see amongst all the gloom let's just know the lovely things round us look about scenery but i'm jus must be a place to bring a lot of inspiration hopefully a bit of good news what i know it's nearly over. the last couple of days more a list of the reporting from the world economic. but to the gloom may be the chief economic correspondent for the british newspaper the independent spoke to me he believes greece has already succumbed to default in reality. i don't think you have to be a whiz at math to figure out that is not just the indecisiveness of some countries of birth but also the euro oh the common currency is a single currency for an area where some countries need a devaluation i don't know whether technically greece is going to be in default or
11:16 am
not but if your reith a thirty or forty cents in the euro your debt and the write down is going to something like that could be four to seven forty if you're lucky thirty if you're unlucky that it any rational six b. is a country defaulting on its debts and whether technically that it is or whether it take it seems to me to be not that relevant because once you've dealt with greece ok you try and have to put a fireball behind that but people may say look if i'm not going to get my money back on greece why should i learn to portugal why should i lend to spain why should i lend to italy. you know as well just a bit later today the kaiser report taking a swipe at the politicians and bankers they want doing enough to reassure the markets and the people that recovery is around the corner. the governor bank of england urged against despair because all crises coming to an end eventually he says he looks pretty miserable doesn't think he's
11:17 am

11:18 am
adopt a complete ban on the radio while exports from july but to radstowe considering heading off the sanctions by cutting supplies to europe as early as next week global policy consultant got a mommy told me that by threatening to turn off a tower for rallies hoping to soften the impact of the sanctions. the calculus from iran's perspective is going to be if they preempt by cutting exports the forward the july first date that the e.u. has set for cutting the exports and iran preemptively cuts its three four hundred thousand barrels with the exports to the e.u. will it be able to drive prices up enough by doing that to offset for that you know right now. what is going on with iran is that the there is an existential threat to the government and quite frankly from the u.s. perspective i don't think there is a lot of hope that these sanctions will actually get you right to stop its nuclear program into real unwritten objectives here is quite frankly in a column by different name but it's regime change ultimately they want to put as
11:19 am

11:20 am
place for the next winter olympics now comes the test to make sure they meet world class standards the russian resorts facilities are hosting their first ski isn't organizers hope it will be downhill from here as r.t. that is below ski explains. it's no weekend called in the caucasus mountains but it's the hottest time for ski fans many like this couple even promise for a say period for the season's grand opening in sochi you can see mrs now that. it's thirty snowing a month ago so much snow who wanted to ride so badly and no one had this chance. super this is also cool to a brand new resort just off the black sea coast with a number of plans to attract ski fans who might otherwise prefer a winter break in france or switzerland kilometers those tracks but will be able to compete with many european resorts no i mean six to tempt thousand tourists will be able to ski here to show your work and seasonal warm weather left a few who are in destinations
11:21 am
a little high and dry but at the end step here it was i who got to became snowed under with work as skiers sort of new resorts and just look around you we can go for beautiful. believed and everyone enjoyed. very positive feedback this morning yes that's. doable for us but there also kudos biggest test is yet to come in february and march just about two thousand fourteen winter olympics it will mean more is to be strictly on this but for now they're making the most of the snow the freedom even the romance the russian winter it's great as there is snow is still up but you said it was supposed to give you my land down the hill so if you'll excuse me. like that r t sochi. well the snowy slopes might bring skiers together but offload showing weather continues to divide others in the international community let's talk about that laurie oftenest asked people in new york how far they're willing to go to cool down global

11:23 am
think most people are willing to change their daily behavior even though they are proud to call it selfish you know they don't really care about the planet until until it affects them personally and the world we live in whether or not you're willing to change your energy consumption habits now the bottom line is you might just have to in the future if global warming continues to progress. you know what we got online for you tonight about a dog called we have the world covered there right now as well the to run a saurus the terrorizing the told is truth this is what's creating visitors and the striking and natural history museum but some of the kids clearly want it less vivid for solve we've got the pretty story online also. looked up and overlooked and arrested for drunk driving when they're held in solitary confinement and did not like doctors for two years without trial these
