misty lemon believes it's not by chance the arab league's hold to this mission right now just as western powers come. home my goodness that sounds like a no fly zone to different language it was an open sesame to direct intervention meaning war the observers were saying it is syria you know they picked the wrong man to lead the mission the sudanese general the they thought the air man in charge who would deliver the goods against. believing him for everything going or what a general who he said has started cooperating it's exactly the opposite of what the last one year they wanted a pretext to step up whatever they have in mind which is some kind of. the best solution is the worst syria's civil it's only a theory it's usually a chimera opposition in syria syria is that authoritarian reporter in the when the

guardian reported we get to go to a national poll that apparently there are some credibility sit on a binge already of syrians. for america and britain and the arab league and there's to intervene in syria years and three years and to have an arrogant resolution saying and although our do what you are unique in two weeks well assad absolutely should in diplomatic way which told these people to go there are thoughts there stephen lebombo limited tense of fighting between the syrian army and opposition groups the sarah firth 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 there polls 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

live. here i mean this this is going to come to us in our they feel safety is being provided by the free syrian army the guerrilla body made up of mainly army defectors who say its presence here has enabled protests like these to go ahead. the military cannot come in anymore because the free syrian army is protecting us we support the free syrian army and we support. the former army colonel heads the f.s.a. from the brute he's been steadfast from the start and his calls the foreign military intervention of his safe are void of partnerships with any other opposition elements he sees different significantly inside the country and the national khuda nation council one of the leading opposition groups remains adamant that foreign military intervention would make an already to tear erasing situation even worse

whole while the security position has caused some areas to get out of control of 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 for direct u.n. involvement russia and china remain firmly opposed to a resolution that would leave the door open to foreign military intervention and in a far cry from previous calls that dialogue in saudi arabia is no tool to further the opposition move this shit could cost even more lives say many nice lead to find rebel. 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 this

mean 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 and the moments of confusion the crowd gets nervous and starts to run at one point gunshots it still says where they come from or from his i know you could say that that a lot of confusion here on the face even that we're reading in a different direction not exactly sure what's going on 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 get. that i mean the army and they are you.

yeah. i mean why did you. put a block of data that r t dot com which he's posting extensively on the ongoing situation in syria that you will find if you various parts of the country that have made it through have also made this pledge as to people well it was supposed to end in sight but at the masters. down to the official placation. i pod touch from the shops to. get your life on the. video. feeds now in the palm of your what. on the dot com polish protesters refusing to give up the fight over the anti web piracy pact their countries signed up to more demos a plan against actor the multinational deal forged in secrecy that activists say

allows firms to censor the internet and e.u. officials resigned over the treaty which was signed by twenty two european countries earlier this week. reports now from warsaw. a passer by from england confused scenes on friday in central warsaw with the filming of a sequel for the hollywood movie. judging from the number of masked men and cameras such resemblance was tangible the film character a forceful revolution these people are also standing for change to stop the anti counterfeit trade agreement act from becoming law in poland minus fifteen degrees centigrade is definitely not an excuse for thousands who gathered in central warsaw friday comments a week of numerous mass rallies across with people protesting against the internet censorship act it may have a positive aim to protect intellectual property but these protesters fear it will be used to police the web and take harmless websites offline. engineer martin says

he's working under threat because of actors obscurity with the international pact worked out in complete secrecy issues with. legally censoring information the government. is very unclear the negotiations have lost since two thousand and four and nobody's been told anything unlike the week's massive anti active protests in poland friday's showdown had clear political overtones while the majority of the crowd was voicing no to the treaty a large chunk was directing their anger at the government and experts say the scale of public dissent has managed to make war soldiers ruling elite nervous the government was promoting itself as being modern. people probably internet and 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 you anymore this practice considers the harm governments are pretty steadily scenes they are. point of view already tactic and the n.r.a. may not ratify act and they will have a second thought so after a week of ignorance i think suddenly they realize that the protests are majesty. to become law in poland act and needs the approval of both 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 and i think it came as a complete shock nobody expected this and nobody expected. to. do this going to think i think there will be a lot more. loss for at least two weeks i think because. i think it was so long it will take to actually. prime minister to been adamant war so would not give in

to and 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 alexi russia's key r.t. reporting from warsaw in poland. all running alongside this story to it is in a bit of a flap over a censorship scandal. after the microblogging firm said it can now remove tweets country by country if they float local laws needless to say uses a furious potential free speech purge i spoke to liberty campaign aaron schwartz who told me the country is that twitter should expect this to backfire. important thing to understand about twitter as policy though is that it's reactive if they get it in response to government order or court order and what's nice about twitter is because it's a real time service the government is going to be slower than twitter almost always

you know by the time you get a court order asking someone to take down a tweet and by the time twitter reviews it and it goes through all the policies it is will probably be passed and everyone on twitter will have read it already it will have been retreated hundreds of times twitter has been especially admirable in how they deal with this in that they are particularly highlighting tweets that have been censored by the government so there's now none of this disguise that goes on with some of the other major companies where things just suddenly disappear and you don't know why twitter has said they'll make it very clear to their users your government is censoring you and i think that'll be a huge step in pressuring both people to share the stuff that was censored but also pressuring governments to change their policies we've seen this incredible uprising all around the world against censorship in various forms whether it was soap in the u.s. or act in europe and i think it's just going to build people realize they have this power now they can when changes not just from companies but from governments and the more people realize that the more people are going to get involved and participate and the more that happens the harder time everyone's going to have some sort of people this is our head with me kevin owen even with the chills those top

globe will be getting people hope of a color. but they don't really care about the planet until until it affects them personally and financially that's the world to be living resident people of new york what they would sacrifice to save the planet good question some interesting answers coming up to then. she of ski has put the slopes through their paces for the first time they welcome the winter olympics five two years. the ratings for writing the blows in the beleaguered euro zone now fitch has downgraded five countries they include spade and it to the woods of the big worries of course because of this size if they fall leaders in key finance he is a struggling to try to find a remedy to the debt crisis at the annual economic world forum in davos from where lauren is still reports. we've seen leaders not only from the eurozone but from other countries financial and political leaders also continuing to to fight and to argue over the proper solutions for the 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 that germany wants greece to hand over control of its fiscal budget as a condition for the next bailout package where 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've just heard david cameron and 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 in 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 and greece these are

people that were not democratically elected now to go a step further we have germany wanting greece is going to hand over control over its budget entirely this is offered to you over its fiscal matters. the chief economic correspondent from the british newspaper the independent believe greece has already said that the fold in reality. i don't think you have to be a whiz at math to figure out that is not just the indebtedness 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 not but if you're repaying thirty or forty cents in the euro your debt and the write down is going to something like that could be four to six 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 back to 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. and the kurds report coming or where the next takes a swipe at the politicians and bankers are doing little to reassure anyone the recovery is around the corner. the bank of england urged against despair because all crises coming to an and eventually he says he looks pretty miserable doesn't think he should talk like usually very telling people don't despair you don't look like you're about to top yourself you tried to have a smile and put it like clown nose on really like a bernanke he's usually got the clown those are always delivering that economic numbers mervyn kang has got that british kind of in the bag have blitzed on gin

luck which is not fooling anybody and of course the u.k. economy is contracting why because the debt in the banking sector continues to expand and nobody's doing anything about that mervyn king wake up. iran is due to resume talks with the un nuclear inspectors intent on sunday is the first discussions of the kind of more than three years indeed there's already a tense diplomatic backdrop of course with the e.u. ready to ban oil imports by july while to run is planning to make the first move by cutting the supply possibly next week laura smith's in london where antiwar protesters are fearing the worst. the people here are saying that this is just the first step instruction of many again that calling a possible war with iran they got it here outside the u.s.

embassy in london and then message is very clear you can see on the banners all around me saying don't attack iran they're calling on people to stand up and be counted and oppose a possible war with iran which the they say is becoming more and more likely that actions are in recently by the e.u. both on oil exports and on financial assets and of course that also citing the reason that killing of any rain in nuclear scientists which they say was carried out by idly is israel or the u.s. they saying that there are growing threats against iran and they're here to show you that there is very little public support in this country anyway for a war with iran people have seen in this country the tools of the long and he is they know. they've been extremely. financially in terms of human life and people feel there's a war on iran is not justified it's brutal it's by the same rules as the laws.

big a very skeptical about this being held to the location here in london outside the u.s. embassy to protest against what these people are calling this great evil u.s. imperialism nice day in the government and the mainstream media in this country is building on something and they'll be coming out on the streets repeatedly to protest against. laura smith reporting for us now look at some top stories making headlines around the world right now the nigerian army shot dead eleven suspected boko haram insurgents. in the country's east it follows a warning from a supposedly leader of the violent islamist sect that they will kill more security personnel and kidnap their families a week ago killed more than one hundred eighty people during a gun a bomb attack in the northern city of kind of a new one sharia law more widely and for. throat nigeria. place in senegal fired tear gas at demonstrators rallying against a court's decision to allow the president to run for a third term protesters then threw rocks broke barricades and started fires the

president's candidacy was in question because the constitution changed back in the year two thousand just after he took office to impose a two year term limit. how did lie wade believes that the law doesn't apply to him because he was elected before it came into effect. this case slopes of sochi are in place for the next winter olympics now comes of course the test to make sure they meet world class standards the russian resorts facilities are hosting their first skiers and organizers hope it will be downhill from here as artie's dennis polaski explains. it's nowhere and cold in the caucasus mountains but it's the hottest time for ski fair many like this couple even promise for a say bierria for the season's grand opening in sochi now that. it's thirty snowing a month ago so much snow who wanted to write so badly and no one had this chance.

super this is also cool to a brand new resort just off the black sea coast but the numbers just plan to attract ski fans who might otherwise prefer a winter break in france or switzerland kilometers those tracks that will be able to compete with many european resorts no it means six to ten thousand tourists will be able to stay here to show your work and seasonal warm weather left a few foreign destinations a little high and dry but it meant staff here it was a cougar became snowed under with work as skiers sold all new resorts just a little while and you. believed and everyone enjoyed. very positive feedback this morning yes that's true. but they're also kudos biggest test is yet to come in february and march just events for the two thousand and fourteen winter olympics it will mean two or just will be strictly are pissed but for now they're making the most of the snow the freedom and even the romance amid

the russian winter it's green of their snow is soft and i was supposed to kiss and that's why i went down the hill so if you'll excuse me. r t sochi. well the snowy slopes may bring skiers together but are fluctuating weather continues to divide others in the international community lorie half of those people in new york they will go to global warming. today legislators are introducing more and more bills to help curb the effects of global warming what are you willing to do to help out this week let's talk about that would you be willing to blow dry your hair anymore yes that i'd be willing to would you be willing to dry your clothes on the line and never use a drag machine i don't know about that though it's a bad it depends would you be willing to change your behavior like they are walking to any destination that's under two miles instead of driving like what i'm doing

today is a yes yeah yeah yeah absolutely absolutely it's a. virtual for me well it's good what about showering for under a minute. i'm always. pretty much broke. saves money not because the personal is the clock on the marker or do you think most people are willing to change their daily behavior even though they probably call it selfish you know and they don't really care about the planet until until it affects them personally unfortunately that's 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. now the subject now the much of the multinationals in india are striving to wipe out millions of smaller grocery stores what is likely to mean cheaper food and

other jobs produced the prepared food future is also said to a generations of local market traditions of his previous. this dry food store has been set the end there saying chalons family for six generations it's one of the many small retail stores that have been operating in this market in old delhi for hundreds of years. six generations of our family grew financially and provided us with everything but now sing chalons way of life could be at risk after years of pressure the indian government decided to allow foreign multibillion retailers to likes of tesco and wal-mart access to one of the fastest growing middle classes in the world until now india only allowed single brand foreign retailers like reebok to enter the country even though the indian economy opened up more than a decade ago economists here argue that the country needed at least five years to build up its domestic multi brand retail sector before allowing foreign competition

into the country but now politicians argue that it might be the perfect time for foreign companies to enter india's five hundred ninety billion dollars retail sector the politicians behind the push say that farmers can make more money and consumers will pay less for food if the stores are allowed into india these retailers could provide organization to india supply chain by cutting out unnecessary middlemen president obama and other western leaders have also been putting pressure on india to allow their stores to open in the country arguing that they could provide jobs to millions of indians but small business owners still argue that it's an idea that would jeopardize their way of life. once the big stores open up small businesses will not be able to compete with them and they will find it hard to survive so this is a conspiracy against us to shut us down and open big shops but we will not allow this to happen in india. the small business will be swallowed by the way small fishes are written by the big fishes in the sea these small family run businesses

will be completely destroyed jeopardizing the financial situation of families and children for now however opposition within india has stalled the decision from. finalized store owners like seeing challen are watching the debate closely wondering if his family's business and the old deli that he's known his whole life will suddenly change. this is an attempt to destroy the livelihood of the businessmen in india we will not allow this to happen in india resisting outsiders from potentially destroying his family's tradition priya sri there are t. delhi india. the process progress. covered as always stories. like this one the. temporizing the softs or fave this is what. visitors of natural history museum but some of the kids clearly want their history a bit. too much. these
