as fierce fighting surrounds it damascus russia proposes to host peace talks here in moscow between the syrian government and the opposition. iran warns it could stop supplying oil to some e.u. state in response to sanctions against its nuclear program there's currently undergoing a un inspection. broken piece of glass is not the broken heads that the police are inflicting on the occupy movement a heavy handed police response to un to corporate protests in california is echoed across the atlantic where pritish offices are also accused of excessive use of force. and e.u. leaders are meeting brussels for the first summit this year it's against the

symbolic backdrop of an anti austerity protests and a general strike in belgium. worldwide news live from moscow this is on the with me rule received by syria is staring at the real possibility of deadly violence taking hold of the very center of the nation's capital rebel fighters have been locked in intensive battles with government forces in the suburbs surrounding damascus and an invitation from russia to host in moscow based talks between syria's authorities and the opposition has been accepted by the assad government. now has the latest from damascus. but we've seen the situation escalating dramatically over the past couple of days

now over the weekend the suburbs were embroiled in a heavy clashes between the two sides in fact in damascus people were waking up yesterday to the sounds of gunfire and shelling in those areas very very alarming indeed some of the reports that were coming from those areas and certainly the response from the government to the free syrian army taking control of some of those suburbs has been a strong well we've had reports of tanks going into those areas and the death toll on both sides extremely high as well and of course this comes on the back of the arab league monitoring mission saying that they had whole says the mission for the time being is that the remaining observers that are here in the country they hadn't really seemed to recover from that decision last week of the gulf states to withdraw their monitors well it's hard to say really exactly what the future of the mission now is there's a little bit of a sense that it's dead in the war so now what we saw at the end of the month of

course as they presented their reports i was interesting is the details of that has made note of abuses on both sides that was what had been mentioned and on the back of that it was discussed possibly increasing the numbers on the ground and making the mission stronger as well as the other the housing what we saw was the decision for the goal say to withdraw them all it is now today russia's foreign ministry has said that it has put forward the offer of using moscow as a place to hold a reconciliation talks between the two sides pursuing some sort of resolution to the situation through dialogue again because what we've seen with the arab league decision to go to the u.s. the fears are that there's a real close now international and variance the international involvement adding possibly we could see the conflict get even more violent even more militarized and that's not what. and i will once this is he said the last few days have been and escalating situation are you sorry for putting right there and are still ahead for

you in the program just over a month before russia's presidential vote. prime minister of. real action or to go presenting himself as the presidential candidate for widespread economic reform. in the occupy movement spills onto the streets of london the police are accused of going over the top during a crackdown on protesters our correspondent joins us with a fresh update in just a few minutes but for now over to k c in the business. coming out the russian mob hits close to day's trading session in the red following on from those losses in europe and asia and the u.s. markets have opened up in their eyes twenty minutes time for more details. in watching r.t. iran has vowed to halt oil exports to some e.u. countries for up to fifteen years despite its parliament perspiring a debate on

a complete ban on crude supplies to europe it would be in retaliation to the e.u. imposed embargo on iranian oil due to come into full effect this summer russia's foreign minister says tehran's threat shows how unilateral sanctions can often backfire. russia has firmly held the opinion that in most cases sanctions are not only effective but also counterproductive the current situation yet again confirms the old war to every action there is an equal reaction iran's announcement was made in response to be european union's decision to ban the purchasing of iranian oil but you member states. meanwhile iran's nuclear program for target of a use sanctions is being scrutinized by u.n. inspectors to iran has offered i.a.e.a. officials the chance to extend their mission and said it was ready to answer any question to prove it atomic ambitions a peaceful to discuss the situation i'm now joined live from the u.s.

by paul hiro a middle east expert and a u.s. congressional candidate. i thank you for joining us on our teeth today iran offered u.n. inspectors a chance to prolong their mission yet the e.u. imposed an oil embargo just a week ago saying that iran is not cooperating on the size that iran wants to work with the agency there on the wall. that the are really not really is looking to work with. as low interest pressure for iran to do that. now if i may the iran seems certain that it can convince the atomic agency that its program is peaceful but the west isn't really interested in hearing about let's be honest here. that's where the iran has maintained from the outset its program is one for peaceful energy purposes but the i. found some evidence suggests doesn't prove but just suggests that maybe the program is

designed for nuclear purposes nuclear weapon purposes but iran for the meantime let's let's talk about these ongoing economic issues here iran's threatening to stop oil supplies to just some european countries as opposed to a previous threat to ban exports to the whole easy you why we seeing a shift in what why why a change i think what iran is trying to do. you know let the rest of the world know particularly you because of its recent sanctions and those forces start this summer. it can do with. the e.u. as a customer in other words china or india are willing to buy more oil were slightly higher price and so what iran is trying to project is in a suit position where it doesn't need to have the e.u. as a customer i think that

a lot of that might just be symbolic i don't know if i really truly believe that in other words there could be a bluff to be called and when you talk about a cold it's now just a week after this unprecedented set of sanctions against iran adopted already signs already science that it's starting to backfire do you actually believe sanctions can still work and actually make a difference in this crisis all around iran's nuclear program. sanctions i believe are only one of several things that can and should be done i believe with sanctions diplomacy you know has to continue its sanctions alone may lead to you know internal uprising by the people against its government because right now inflation is around ten percent and you know growth in iran is about one percent you know in so internally it's has a lot of challenges in two thousand and nine the green revolution didn't go

anywhere but now with the arab spring there may be more you know for. a lot more motivation by the people which continue on with you know some type of internal revolt against the government and i think that's something we've got really needs to be mindful of if this is also why u.s. or israel or any other international agency you know need should that matter you know should be careful as to stray because it could just push people out of the population behind the government by let's say let's get to one important issue here when we talk about that issue of sanctions here some calling it in some way or another form of economic warfare warships from america britain france and in some degree israel a loitering off iran's coast as tehran continues to plead its innocence she think possibly the west is provoking the situation there. i don't know all of the intention of the west to provoke any type of conflict but you know when you look at it from the iranian point of view that may be how it's received it now could be

dangerous at the same time the you know the west what they're trying to do is presence in the persian gulf. so that you know kind of a shot across the bow to iran there is you know a multinational force here very close to said u.s. britain france and perhaps israel so. it could be the intention of what the west is doing you know the way it's received maybe two different things and that's why the diplomacy should go along with sanctions on iran on which we're going to do but when you talk about going forward with sanctions here we have this rather hot moving us presidential race right now certainly many of the republican the g.o.p. candidates are very being very hot tempered in their debates in their campaign debates on their campaign platforms saying iran wants to get a nuclear weapon iran wants to destroy israel there are some that say these

candidates a are just pandering to the jewish lobby in america does the american public see through that and actually see that iran to some degree or many degrees is willing to work with the international community here. yes a lot of the g.o.p. candidates as republican candidates they're in a position where they can say what they want and not have to worry about the consequences of what they say and you know for example the you know michele bachmann before she dropped out of the race for president she you know had said that iran said it wanted to you know use nuclear weapons against israel iran never said such thing mahmoud ahmadinejad's did say that iran should be i'm sorry israel should be waved off the face of the map but at the same time he's repeatedly denied as has the entire iranian government that they have any uclear weapon and aspirations they've been consistent with saying it's for peaceful energy purposes so a lot of these. republican candidates they can say what they want because what they

are trying to do is saber rattle to their base that's the conservative side of the u.s. . people in the u.s. you know a lot of citizens groups republican and democrat that iran is probably pursuing a nuclear weapons program and i think that you know a lot of folks also realize there is no easy solution to this and for those people who do believe there is an easy solution i don't think that fully understand the complexity of that. middle east expert and a u.s. congressional candidate live in the u.s. thanks for coming on today thanks for having me. well the ongoing western attempts to corner iran and iran's response are the topics of debate and cross talk today that's coming your way in about twenty minutes time for now a preview. ready made me want to bring the hidden even out of a well by doing something spectacular and destructive to enemies of islam and this

is what motivates him this is a crisis not of the old soviet leadership who for all their misdeeds were at least atheist so they believe that a nuclear war and death was an end in failure and many energy i think is dying in a nuclear war for allah will get him to paradise what incentive do you have to bring to bear on him what carrot can you offer him to compare with that so you have to be prepared to stop his military efforts and he says i'm going to lie destroy any sense that doesn't and you can involve why don't you marry him who's the enemy and he wants to wipe out israel which is what for a country that has to have a taboo only the nuclear should not be only drop to the most harmful nation this kind of rhetoric this kind of rhetoric is not good for israel israel is a very strong country and it doesn't need this bibi netanyahu you know that is kind of information that rhetoric to get reelected he being here is a need now that people in you know going to end like you are going to be nice to you because this is interesting to me.

watching r.t. live from moscow after surveying the damage from saturday's occupy protests in oakland california the mayor wants to kick activists out of the city and the latest rally ended with riot police firing tear gas and flash bombs meanwhile in washington the national park service has given out just until noon today to remove all camping material from a pair of occupy camps the demonstrators have planned a peaceful protest in response sara flounders from the international action center believes the occupy movement continues to attract followers. it's very much achieving its goals in terms of waking up the youth in the us 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 thousandth of one percent is gaining enormous new wealth so that they're very successful in drawing attention to

that gannon again the media tries to bait this occupy movement has been violent the violence has come from the police and a broken piece of glass is not the broken heads that the police are inflicting on the occupy movement and that movement is very determined to continue and to find new tactics. but accusations of excessive force by police in the us have been well documented since the occupy movement began now more than five months ago and there's proof of it on our web site r t v dot com have a look here in washington a seemingly innocent protester was her by police and tasered as dozens of you look on this video and many others are all at our you tube channel you tube dot com slash are seen. and police in london have also been accused of excessive force in their efforts to clear out occupy demonstrators protesters stood

together last night as officers broke down the doors to the camps. there's more on the london based battle between occupiers and officers. what we've seen in the last twenty four hours is the first if exception of the occupy movement from a building that they were calling the bank of ideas it was a building that is owned by u.b.s. the bank and it was evicted by a group of bailiffs anyone who's been up a bit against a bailout in this country would call them hired thugs basically and what you see on the video that we're showing now is a bailiff essentially driving into a group of protesters watched on by the police basically he allegedly before this incident took place punched a photographer in the face the police apparently did nothing apart from briefly confiscate the keys of the car keys of the bailiffs in question they then gave back his car keys according to the occupy movement and then cleared the way for him to

leave the scene so far they've received absolutely no response from the police to this instance at all now his lawyer smith right that well i do remember you can always find more news comment and analysis on our website on t.v. dot com now let's have a look and see what standing by for you right now secrets unlocked british intelligence has been ordered to declassify all documents really related to f.s.b. officer alexander litvinenko who died of radioactive poisoning in london five years ago to find out more about about online. but the biggest unmanned drone in the world has crashed and exploded in israel during a test flight discovered the course at r.t. dot com.
