say their government is supporting internet censorship in the wider. hello and welcome to our weekly every q i'm q yes above our thanks for joining us the arab league's observer mission in syria has halted its work citing concern over a rise in violence with over one hundred killed in the last few days and clashes still underway russia has criticised the decision to and what i've described as a useful initiative also has an ace has found a mascot for. sense really from moscow that this decision to hold the mission was going to inflame an already very volatile situation and unfortunately as seems to be exactly what we've seen happening here now foreign minister sergei lavrov was speaking today on his tour of the asia pacific countries and he said that he didn't

understand why such a useful tool had been treated in this way we've seen the observer mission start and eventually grounds to hold they never really recovered after that decision last week for the goal stays when they withdrew their monitors now their decision they said was because they felt the mission had failed to hold the syrian government to its pledge to end the violence and it was a surprising decision that's how the foreign minister described it because at exactly the same time that the gulf states made that decision the decision would also be made to extend the mission so just at a very very crucial time with the situation in the country rather than making this mission stronger rather than trying to make it more effective if you have the gold states withdrawing them on it is now he said that that aroused questions we saw the meeting coming up on cheese day where the arab league against three presenting. the findings essentially briefing the u.n. and most gays maimed remains very very adamant that it's not going to back any plan

that's going to leave the door open to foreign military intervention in fact again their response to western cool's now that has said that it's impossible to hold dialogue with the regime here the foreign minister called very irresponsible and indeed unforgivable as i think there's a real sense that this arab league with the want to put unity ready to piss you the resolution to dialogue and to try and calm is extremely volatile situation it's shocking really to see how much the situation is escalating day by day when a you've really seen this conflict creeping towards the capital people in damascus who weighed. up to the sound of gunfire fans i bet this arab league mission essentially has turned out to be a dance club and there's a little people here saying what was the point and having that manifest place if they were going to be made strengthened if they were going to try way was. always essentially we're going to lead to un action anyway and political steve in london

believes it's not a coincidence that the arab league prize that fashion just as a western powers up the cool foreign involvement well my goodness it sounds like a no fly zone in different language there was an open sesame to direct intervention and meeting war the observers who were sitting into syria they picked the wrong man to lead the mission to sudanese generals. they thought their man in charge who with deliver the goods against the side believing him for everything going oh i'm so cool what a general we do he said his sorrow is cooperating it's exactly the opposite of what the last one you may want to precarious just step up whatever they have in mind which is some kind of new to the best solution is the worst syria's civil it's going to see and here is a legitimate opposition in syria syria is that authoritarian to

a reporter in the when the guardian reported we get to go get a national poll that apparently go some credibility so that the. syrians. for america and britain and the arab league and there's to get to the end in syria years and smears and to have an arrogant resolution saying and all that i would do would be happy in two weeks well a so absolutely should in diplomatic way which told these people to to go. and they've see where is nokes in a spiral of violence maybe is not far behind coming up on our t.v. months after the fall of gadhafi perspective and you know doctors without borders sometimes it's national to me the officer being forced to treat torture victims father and sons trayvon for battering time i gave. you a new play inspectors have started a three day mission to examine iran's atomic activities to iran says the talks with the international atomic energy agency the first more than three years will prove

protesters to take over and abandoned building where they wanted to create their new headquarters because as our viewers may remember crossed the country in the united states just a few months ago police departments are removed activists from their camps and this was an attempt for oakland optimiser to set up a new headquarters but as the crowd grew stronger and larger of the intially the police in oakland began firing tear gas and flash grenades and i occupy atlanta this morning to the police do you see members of the crowd began throwing things at times at the officers and that is what ultimately triggered this clash between police officers carry him to occupy an optimist but as you guys we know this is not the first time we've seen a fierce clash between officers and activists in oakland california got in october

there was a least three hundred people arrested and a former u.s. marine by the name scott olsen was left in critical condition with a head injury from being struck in the had by police tear gas canister canister and this is something odd that put a lot of criticism on the police department in oakland california they've been criticized for being very harsh with occupy activists. despite the increasing violence on the rez south london from the international action center tells all say the future of the occupy movement is still very bright. it's very much achieving its goals in terms of waking up the youth in the waking up working people in the us to the reality the reality that poor and working people are losing more and more and that one percent actually one thousand of one percent is gaining enormous new

today are demanding the dissolution of the military council which inherited absolute power from deposed president hosni mubarak no matter who is in control addiction author and filmmaker philip morris who believes change will be held to a minimum. i don't see it as being that big of a shift i mean we lived under military rule for thirty years and that gave the government the authority to do just about what they wanted to me it's just a formal matter and that they they lived emergency law while we live under the rule of a military jointer since the military took over general twenty eighth over fifteen thousand civilians that we know of have faced military courts and have received trials of anywhere between six months to fifteen years and they've tasted power they have massive economic interests in the country again everything that's happened in egypt really needs to be looked at from an economic perspective in that there is a group of cronies of member and his government that were in power they've been moved out of power and there's a new group of cronies that are in place and they will not just let go and hand

over power like that without having guarantees that their interests will be secured . deadly clashes between fighters belonging to libya's interim government and soldiers loyal to the slain colonel gadhafi in bali and bani walid this week sparked fears of a new civil war the national transitional council reportedly began amassing forces including truck mounted and to aircraft weapons near the former stronghold of the regime build up came after government troops were forced out of the rest of town the rest where is the growing frustration libya many people accuse the incompetence and made of violent power struggles between former rebels account churn down a spokesman for british civilians for peace and leave explains why the 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've turned libya into

a war and of the hunting of black skins they're selling off their oil and natural resources and sovereignty to nato and now the thieves that is the rebels they're all falling out with each other so really this is the children of freedom and democracy by nato it's all become very clear people of syria and the people of lebanon and the people of the global south have to see about what's happening in libya is coming to them if they're not able to defend themselves and stop this rolling western aggression against other countries in the global south. he was interim leadership also came under fire from the u.n. this week of a failure to stop the torture of thousands of prisoners to international organizations and that's sound from tears and alice international say detainees have been tortured and killed in recent months and they also point to widespread abuse of former gadhafi supporters and as artie's wary of the notion of cause hopes are fading that the nato by its government can actually offer you picking. doctors without borders known for going do their job in the most dangerous and notorious

places around the globe but in n t c run libya the group has encountered a formidable obstacle they couldn't overcome burns through electric shocks and cigarettes heavy bruising and renal failure all these evidence of the continued to cheer of prisoners say the doctors and now after two inmates died from beatings the international group has stopped its mission in protest. patients were brought to us in the middle of interrogation for medical care in order to make them fit for further interrogation this is an acceptable our rule is to provide medical care to war casualties and sick detainees not to repeatedly treat the same patients between torture sessions the news comes amidst rising anger with levy's interim government demonstrations in benghazi last week ended with the resignation of a high ranking member of the m.t.c. it started with the very beginning of the rebellion very beginning of the

insurrection the second day of the rebellion eighteenth of february the african migrants were rounded up locked in a detention center and burnt to death and then peace expressed support for this time and this is part of the strategy of the west you know divide and rule and that was given the green light of the torture and execution that we're seeing now so this is a recipe for civil war meanwhile the nato operation that brought them to see to power is by itself raising questions. and high profile international team of human rights activists has been to leave here to investigate some of make sure that it bears entity of where with their evolution in the fronds. and there were guiding the air raids and they addicting them and court have been raping them if you

are mandated. to protect. that thought it is very very accurate in a way that i myself saw the killing of so many people in front of my eyes i saw the killing go fifty one people in front of my eyes was fifteen years old and while all sides in the libyan conflict are to blame for violence and violations the human rights activists claim not all of them have been held responsible for their wrongdoings investigating what happened during libya's seven months civil war and the nato campaign to protect civilians this fact finding mission discovered again crimes against humanity but the goal was not to judge but to shed light on what happened and not to repeat the mistakes in recent united nations report has revealed that up to eight thousand supporters have been held by militia groups in libya right now and with numerous accuse ations of torture and revenge killings

throughout the country hopes of a new beginning for libya are fading quickly griffin ocean or r.t. . it's been a turbulent week for poland which saw thousands of people protesting against the anti web piracy perhaps their countries signed up to along with twenty one other european states actually it's a big multinational deal which still needs to be ratified by the european parliament allows firms to censor the internet. reports. at first thousands across poland directed their anger squarely at the notorious anti counter free trade agreement the idea of punishing the site for publishing the dried marriage material is somehow illogical to me it's like punishing the corporation that produces knives for. being used to kill somebody but with every passing rally the protest grew more political the crowds put prime minister to six government under fire first.
