the whole commission 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 age of 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 gulf states 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 not 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 you have the gold

states withdrawing them on it is now he said that that aroused questions we saw the me saying coming up on cheese day where the eye of the gaze of three presenting. findings essentially briefing the u.n. and the most is maimed remains very very adamant that is 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 china tea 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 they. seem this conflict creeping towards the capital people in damascus who waking up to the sound of gunfire from suburbs. this arab league mission essentially has turned

out to be a dance club and there's a lot of people have 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 too as was. always essentially were going to lead to us action anyway. stephen lensman believes it's not a coincidence that the arab league fries that question just as the western powers out the call for foreign involvement well my goodness it sounds like a no fly zone and different language it was an open sesame to direct intervention meeting war the observers were saying into syria you know they picked the wrong man to lead the mission to sudanese generals be they thought the enemy and your eyes well with deliver the goods against the side believing him for everything going on who what a general who he said was sorry is cooperating it's exactly the opposite of what

the last one they wanted a precarious. whatever they have in mind which is some kind of new fiction the best solution is the west syria's civil it's all going to see here is a legitimate off position in syria syria is it authoritarian to a reporter in the when they've got a young group or did we get to go to a national poll that apparently go some credibility so that the jar really of syrians aside for america and britain and the arab league to intervene in syria years and so years and to have an arrogant resolution saying and all the i would do would be happy in two weeks well assad absolutely should in diplomatic way which told these people to go go to. series looks in a spiral of violence please no thought behind you and i'll see you months after the fall of gadhafi. respected ngo doctors without borders suspends its mission to

leave it up to being forced to treat torture victims who are then sent trained by to further interrogation. before that to you a new plane spector's have started a three day mission to examine iran's atomic. says the talks with the international atomic energy agency they passed in more than three years will prove its nuclear program was purely peaceful the i.a.e.a. visit comes as tensions between iran and the west any a crisis level on monday e.u. nations adopted and president a set of sanctions against the islamic republic and they include a complete embargo on oil supplies from iran and are expected to come into force in july and director of the center for assertion globalization michele just adults so that what we are witnessing now is part of a big u.s. plan for war against iran. i think what we are witnessing here is is a build up also of military confrontation these

sanctions. constitute in some regards the staging of of of a military agenda and i should mention. that we have a mass the well it was of u.s. military hardware troops going into israel to be stationed in israel troops going to kuwait. you know naval forces in goals in the arabian sea. and in other words i think what we're going to states what. it would be is our allies some kind of the green light which will give you with the wall. and of course we're keeping a close eye on the rain or nuclear as star go on air and online so head to our web site called for more analysis and updates on the latest developments and right there we ask or to you saying terrell's talks with the u.n. inspectors will bring so far the majority that sixty percent of things the u.s. is heading for war with the ground regardless sixty percent don't see any way out

thinking iran will give up its nuclear program ten percent think the u.n. inspectors will find that tehran is telling the truth and the minority of three percent perceive the visit as a new step towards a solution of the crisis so what do you think had to alter dot com to cast your vote. a us occupy movement protest has once again turned violent in oakland california police fired tear gas on some two thousand demonstrators several hundred were arrested as they're attempted to occupy a very good convention center befalls storming into city hall marina fortnight husband. it began around saturday afternoon when roughly two hundred fifty occupy occupy optimists in oakland california began demonstrating in the streets

and it was hours past the crowd grew stronger and stronger up to crosley twenty two thousand people strong culture milling what the goal was for this demonstration is for protesters to take over empty 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 optimistic to set up a new headquarters but as the crowd grew stronger and larger of the engine late the police in oakland began firing tear gas and flash grenades was the occupy activists warning to the police they see members of the crowd began throwing things at times at the officers and that is what ultimately triggered this clash between police

officers came to occupy an optimist but as 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 head by a 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 out. from the international action center tells r.t. despite the increasing violence and to read the future of the occupy movement is still very light. 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 wealth so that they're very successful in drawing attention to that despite a shutdown by the media and by the police and that movement is very determined to continue and define a new tactic and if you're watching r c i've got much more coming up for you later in the broadway. production agitation grips russian so we take a look at how politicians are making a push with. president obama vowed to reform times and fight poverty while hailing america's military during his annual state of the union speech much of the focus in this year's address was dedicated to the country's struggling economy and the pressing problem of inequality invited by

the occupy movement obama also praised on their dances abroad and the assassination of osama bin laden the speech was regarded as a pre-election change for a government to sell his campaign to the public that professor paul showed the third from california state university believes the address clearly demonstrates the policy priorities chosen by a government ministration. he used the cute little code phrase that we're going to have an enduring relationship with death in a stand which means we're going to have bases in that country and stay there for ever whether they want to serve not. likewise he said regional gadhafi syria's next day and if iran doesn't behave there there after that so. it is totally contradictory to say that he's going to be able to pay down the american debt in the extraneous government spending programs domestically with savings from bringing in soldiers older mors what in fact he has plans to expand while he didn't mention

china played amy also said that we have a pacific strategy and the world will know that we are number one. and that was a thinly veiled threat against china even i mean how insane can you be china's holding more than a trillion dollars of our debt we've got tens of thousands of factories there we're highly coordinated doing depended on them now and he's threatening them do it not have even we proposed and we still fossils of people protesting against the anti what piracy pocked that can change signed up to and on with twenty one other european states action to save a multinational deal which still needs to be ratified by the european parliament allows funds to sense of a internet and i say actions kind of post. at first thousands across poland directed their anger squarely at the notorious anti counter fee trade agreement the idea of punishing for publishing the. material

is somehow illogical to me it's like punishing the corporation that produces knifes 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 for signing the agreement on thursday most governmental websites were hijacked by the anonymous hacker group i think they are trying to maximize us with. the promise is that there would be a sudden closer touch to the documents. that we have. the right for our own interpretation of looking but that's not possible knows a lot from our government technically active should be a good thing protecting intellectual property ranging from music to design your bags but the global online community fears corporations will use it to police the web and take regular users offline for harmless internet behavior it certainly has

a striking resemblance to the much debated sopa bill in the united states which sent even online giants like google and wikipedia to take direct action but the law was only meant to work locally across the atlantic while act would be applied more globally. and in some countries it needs to be ratified by parliament but not in every country so we have another. option for many many conferences it was too much for one french e.u. deputy he quit calling act charade then came the twitter twist the micro-blogging site saying it can now censor tweets country by country. active protests in. war so we're expected to gather up to forty thousand people but a sudden big freeze kept many away nevertheless the intends to rally for several more weeks hoping to urge warsaw's ruling circles to take

a step back do one other issue member states along with poland signed an actor but it's only here but the decision has caused so much control over sea and public dissent the document is yet to be ratified by the country spar laments which certainly leaves the possibility of more protests everywhere across the european continent so let's see russia see reporting from poland. and let's say just mentions the microblogging front twitter is not a censorship scandal of its own and of go no one notices on that website are to the home including one suggestion that the move will ultimately backfire on the government. twitter has said that make it very clear that their users your government is censoring you and i think that will be a huge step in pressuring people to share the stuff that was censored but also pressuring governments to change their policies so you can watch the full conversation with in translator. schwartz and also talk on and also online.

in the internet's most famous whistle blower is getting ready to reveal it wouldn't look for him on t.v. tonight a far there's no change own talk show now see all the details on our website. this week egyptians marked two years as the beginning of the country's uprising with hundreds of thousands flooding to have square the iconic birthplace of the revolution polls have opened for the upper house of parliament weeks after islamist parties claimed no well the majority in the lower house the new government is also tough to have developing become trees constitution and ship shells today are demanding the dissolution of the military council which inherited absolute power from to post president hosni mubarak no matter who is in control egyptian author and filmmaker philip reeves believes change will be host. 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 eight's over fifteen thousand civilians that we know of have faced military courts and they 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 mumbai 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 . the interim leadership came under fire from the u.n.

this week over a failure to stop the torture of thousands of prisoners to internationalize ations doctors without borders and amnesty international say detainees have been tortured and killed in recent months and they also pointed to widespread abuse of former gadhafi supporters and has a very notion reports hopes of raising that the nato banished government can actually offer a new beginning. doctors without borders known for going do their job in the most dangerous and notorious places around the globe but in n.t.s.c. run libya the group has encountered a formidable obstacle they couldn't overcome burns from electric shocks and cigarettes heavy bruising and renal failure all this evidence of the continued torture 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 libya's interim government demonstrations in benghazi last week ended with the resignation of a high ranking member of the n.t. c. it started with the very beginning of the rebellion very beginning of the insurrection the second day of the rebellion on eighteenth of february so the african migrants were rounded up locked in a detention center and burnt to death and then peace expressed support for this kind of 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 clear recipe for civil war meanwhile the nato operation that brought the empty seat of power is by itself raising questions. a high

profile international team of human rights activists has been to leave here to investigate some of may to let it burn center to vhs were with the revolutionaries of the fronds. there were guiding the air raids and they are acting them and court have been raping them. if you are baited to protect. that thought you are it is very very accurate in a way that i myself saw the killing of so many people in front of me my eyes i saw the killing of fifty one people in front of my eyes being abused 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 libras seven

months civil war and the nato campaign to protect civilians this fact of the 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 reviewed that up to eight thousand prove khadafi supporters are being held by militia groups in libya right now and with numerous occasions of torture and revenge killings throughout the country hopes of a new beginning for libya are fading quickly reef an ocean or r.t. and let's have a look at what else is making news around the world the afghan government is lying and reason to talk about in the coming weeks to start peace talks this is going to be the first session scuttle since the taliban forces were ruled afghanistan from one thousand nine percent still two thousand and one were asked of any u.s. led invasion the taliban has privately refused to recognize the government of afghan president hamid karzai earlier on sunday taliban have held

a meeting with the u.s. officials in qatar to pave the way for the meeting. thousands have rallied in central pakistan to demand that the government keep supply routes used by nato forces in afghanistan closed and remains independent from u.s. policy in the region speakers at the rally claim the us has started propaganda to persuade the authorities to do the opposite and become closer to washington islamabad has closed the border crossings to supplies for nato troops after the u.s. bombing of two pakistani check points last november in which twenty four troops died . france plans to be the first european country to introduce a controversial financial taxation to get less dancing in all its president nicolas sarkozy's his country wants to provoke shock and set an example for our the e.u. member states to do to say the tax is opposed by the british government which has such a tug should be applied globally authorities believe the levy could see financial services and other business relocate from the you to other countries without the

getting information out there is becoming easier all the time but the internet is a very different medium to television while on t.v. it's enough to just look into the camera like this viewer's attention not so although that too may he were police video reach millions of light it's not a lot it just. it also has to be brazen and sometimes project a whole different image. it's no surprise then that putin as a character from harry puta became an overnight hit it's an industry doing the symbol. of i don't see what i see you are stuck with something. to. make. sure that. you're going to get what you. but what it will just be them. but i don't and that's. a call from catching images memorable catch phrases are
