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. this and this is going to all come to us so now they feel safety is being provided by the free syrian army the guerrilla body made up of many army defectors who say its presence here has enabled protests like these to go ahead. ever since 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 the armed group is safer voided partnerships with any other opposition elements he sees defense significant inside the country and the national

coordination council one of the leading opposition groups remains adamant that foreign military intervention would make an already to tear erasing situation even worse while the security position has caused some areas to get out of control of seems that there is a war between two groups on the 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 growing calls 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 a far cry from previous calls to dialogue qatar and saudi arabia now talk to the opposition and these this could cost even more lives say many nice lead to find right. you have to have good. working with.

the f.s.a. say they have little choice but to use weaponry to protect civilians. who have this mean square here in tone with the people who come out and protest even the security forces trying to come in but we protect them but this is what's happening here but it remains a precarious situation in a moment of confusion the crowd gets nervous and starts to run one point. still says where they've come from. oh you can see a lot of confusion here on the space even if you're reading in a different direction just not exactly sure what's going on well that's 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's a government demonstrations so position can show continues to gain ground the divisions within the country have never been clearer. yeah i do yeah

and we have a developing story out of the united states right now where police have used tear gas and flash grenades against protesters in oakland california where around two thousand people have taken to the streets in an occupy wall street demonstration at least ten demonstrators have been arrested after some of the crowd started throwing objects out police activists who want to take over a break in building that will serve as their new home base saying the authorities have made it impossible for them to meet ya compile wall street movement which has spread across the u.s. and abroad began more than four months ago to protest against social and economic inequality. now polish protesters are refusing to give up of the fight over the anti web piracy pact their countries that have signed up to more demonstrations are planned against the act the multinational deal forged in secrecy that activists. say allows firms to censor the internet and e.u. fishel has resigned over the treaty which was signed by twenty two european

countries earlier this week. he reports from warsaw. a passer by from england confused scenes on friday in central warsaw with 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 protests culminates 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. the. legally censoring information. it's very unclear the negotiations have lost since two thousand and four and nobody's been anything unlike the week's massive anti active protests in poland friday's showdown had a 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 saying the scale of public dissent has managed to make more soldiers ruling elite nervous the government was promoting itself as being modern as. people probably internet and people trying to keep them accountable so when they discovered it. government supporting something like that it was purely political no we don't believe this but

this considers the harm governments are steadily seen to their point of view. and the and that they might not ratify 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. to become law in poland 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 and i think it came as a complete shock nobody expected nobody expected. there would be a lot. because. i think. prime minister has been adamant war so would not give in to blackmail in the streets what

was initially a quiet social protest has become politically broader with every rally. in both the numbers present and the level of aggression. reporting from warsaw poland. twitter's in a flap over a censorship scandal it's after the microblogging firm said it can now remove tweets country by country if they flog local laws needless to say users are furious at the potential free speech purge liberty campaigner and schwartz told r.t. that countries that censor and twitter should expect this to backfire. the important thing to understand about twitter's policy though is that it's reactive they get it in response to a government order or a 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

will probably be passed and everyone on twitter will have read it already it'll have been retreated hundreds of times twitter has been especially admirable and how they deal with this in that they are particularly highlighting tweets that have been censored by the government so there's no 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 that 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 so 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 censoring people. iran is banning sales of oil to the european union in a real talent tory move after the e.u. banned oil from iran the lawmakers in tehran have finalize their draft

a bill to be discussed on sunday immediately halting crude oil sales in response to an embargo on iranian fuel to begin the summer iran is also to restart talks on sunday with un nuclear inspectors in tehran the first such discussions in over three years the country's nuclear program which the iranians insist is peaceful is the source of rising tension with the west which fears its for military reasons you is planning to ban oil imports by july but tehran is going to make the first move by cutting supplies earlier possibly even by next week laura smith is in london where anti-war protesters are fearing the worst in the continuing standoff. the people here are saying that this is just the first step instruction of many against iraq that calling a possible war with iran that got here outside the u.s. embassy in london and that message is very clear you can see on the banners all around me they're saying don't attack iran they're calling on people to stand up

and be counted and oppose a possible war with iran which these they say is becoming more and more likely as sanctions are imposed recently by the e.u. both on oil exports and on financial assets and of course that also you cite saying the reason for that killing of any rainy and new clear scientists which they say was carried out by idly is israel or the u.s. they're 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 tools in the long run is they know the point of being for years like an extremely cold spring financially in terms of human law if. people feel those a war only raul is not justified it's brutalized by the side we will to the laws rules and the 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 some ready looking

u.s. imperialism they say in the government and the mainstream media in this country is building on something fulton and they'll be coming out on the streets repeatedly to protest against. laura smith reporting for us that you are with us just ahead how even the winter chills don't stop global warming get the call. would you be willing to blow dry your hair anymore than i'd be willing to do you willing to try your clothes on the line and never use a drag machine and i doubt that the president asked people in new york what they would sacrifice to save the planet. then we have off to solitary as a skier's and put the slopes through the paces for the first time before they welcome the winter olympics finest in two years' time. the first signs of hope have emerged after nearly two weeks of deadlock in talks between

greece and its creditors over the country's huge debts negotiators say a deal could be close to within the coming week while the final details are as yet unknown private investors are expected to agree to write off more than half of greek bond holdings that would reduce the country's debt by more than one hundred billion euros and pave the way for the next to tranche of viable bailout from the e.u. and international monetary fund to keep the country afloat the search for a remedy for the paralyzing euro zone crisis has been center stage at the annual world economic forum in davos switzerland lauren least or reports on what new leaders and key financier's have in store for greece and other debt stricken country. 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 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 this softened he over its fiscal matters 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 globe and we've seen 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.
