peace talks between the syrian government and opposition has been accepted by the assad regime but given a cool reaction by the opponents. is in damascus with. well we've seen the situation escalating dramatically over the past couple of days now over the weekend the suburbs were embroiled in the heavy clashes between the 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 to hold said that mission for the time being is that the remaining observers that are here in the country they hadn't really seems to recover from that decision last week of the gulf states to

withdrawal it is 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 is dead in the war so now what we saw at the end of the month of course as they presented their reports i what was interesting is the details of that has that 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 and that is the how doing what we saw was the decision for the goal safe to weave through 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 reconciliation talks between the two sides because 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.n. the fears are that there's a real close now international and ferentz the international involvement adding

possibly we could see the conflict get even more violent even more militarized and that's not what anyone wants to see is he said the last few days have been at an escalating situation. and political analyst from jordan dr haitian gas said believes some of the syria's opposition groups are opposed to negotiation largely because of their foreign support we have many oppositions as you know and now the internal opposition i'm sure that they would ultimately welcome such a paternity. in talks with the regime. the rest of the opposition especially those stationed outside syria i think they they would reject. not only day but those who backed that many of the opposition groups outside syria supported by gulf states or by turkey or by by western conference they have two political reasons for. call for

feeding the conflict in syria i think they don't want that they're not interested in the form nor are they interested in democracy or freedom all they're interested in is to disturb the situation to weaken the iranian syrian lebanese alliance i think that's what they're aiming at and i think that what they're aiming at is some sort of a new middle east that suits their purposes. website home where asking you whether peace is likely to see. you think so so the majority forty three percent think peace is likely as russia made a little bit style scenario that's five percent saying the opposite saying defines who will go on because the west is the time in to control syria supercenter also agree about the costs of pooled with the rebels and opposition means civil war is inevitable in the country in minority just nine percent saying the syrian government will defend itself no mass awards so we have to use brain had to all see

the home. and also analyse. megaupload turns a megatron issue as prosecutors can but until that is stated in the data uploaded by thirteen million users on the website. you leaders have agreed a five hundred billion euro rescue fund for the eurozone to come in this july to get a lead them planned they've also been debating plans for close a fiscal union to bring tied to central you control of the budgets of member states and resolving the greek debt crisis which remains at center stage correspondent see that report from brussels when will the leaders agree. they said coming into this

summit that they will talk about jobs and growth to address the twenty three million unemployed in the european union and indeed that's what they talked about it agreed to make it easier for example for young people to have access to training and to have easier flow of labor from for example young people from struggling economies like greece and portugal moving on to stronger economies like germany the real challenge here really is to see how quickly these words in principle and these concepts translate into the real economy to create real jobs and the other thing that they did agree upon is the fiscal compact which they. summit there were some sticking points one of which was poland for example really wanted to insist that non the euro members would be able to sit down at euro zone meetings to discuss the future of the euro zone well after all that's been done the twenty five of the countries will sign on to this fiscal treaty which means. terry controls interest stricter rules automatic punishments the two countries that will be signing off.

already given a statement its position at the summit saying it's not going to sign on to a treaty that does not protect its interests and its financial sector in particular and the czech republic because it says it has some problems problems and they also agreed upon the. keep repeating the european stability mechanism this is the permanent bailout fund that will be put into place by july to replace a temporary one but at the end of the day there's a big elephant in the room that they really have been trying to avoid talking about this is the issue of greece which right now is still struggling to have a deal with its creditors it really needs this deal in order to get the second tranche of it's a bailout money it's not one hundred thirty billion there are reports that it now it's one hundred thirty five billion euros and they have to pay fourteen point five billion euros of debt by march and if not it's a technical default there's no given by the leaders even if journalists kept asking

them questions about the future of greece so at the end of the day i think we might be seeing even more meetings they say they might meet in particular to address this problem. and as our correspondent just mentioned the e.u. leaders they need to push through the so-called fiscal union to toughen the budget rules and punish those who don't obey and paul not a member of the european parliament sad day direction which is moving isn't a democratic this will go into primary e.u. law through secondary legislation which means that the people can be bypassed there will be referendums across the continent particularly in iowa where there should be a referendum on this and what will happen if they don't bypass the people. and they will get exactly what they want and it is a complete affront democracy the scary thing here that you have is once you start tinkering with democracy and trying to change things i think you've got a very slippery slope indeed they're trying to put a lot of pressure on this idea that the germans have that you could almost call a budget commissioner or not and it will oversee their budgets surtaxes is quite

frankly an affront to democracy the oldest democracy in the world and if i was in athens at the moment i'd be out on the streets demonstrating this well. iran has vowed to hold all exports to some e.u. countries for up to fifteen years despite its parliament postponing a debate on a complete bar on current supplies to europe in retaliation to the you posed embargo on a rainy in order to come into full effect this summer russia's foreign minister says tehran thread shows how unilateral sanctions can often backfire. russia's firmly held the opinion that in most cases sanctions are not only in effect is also counterproductive for the current situation yet again confirms the old war 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 any member states . meanwhile the russians nuclear program the target of e.u.

sanctions is being scrutinized by do i respect as tehran has opened a at the shell of the charles to extend that mission and says it's ready to answer any questions to prove its atomic ambitions out peaceful us radio has to arrive doesn't expect anything from the talks because he claims the un mission is penetrated by the cia and its rating intelligence is the very idea that iran is somehow obligated to open its front gears to inspectors who are centrally penetrated and permeated by the central intelligence agency in the mossad expresses what i am attempting to say to you that this is outrageous this imperial agenda which takes countries and syria at home as their targets now concentrating on iran expresses the permanent war that is waged against subject peoples by american corporate capitalism this united nations has forever been an instrument of such

imperial policy first attempt to cut off iran doro trading capacity its ability to import replacement equipment for its refineries then they want to tie up its banking and to preclude people from from trading with its banks then every company that is in fact engaged in trade with iran is subject the united states to penalty what do you think this is better than active war. of so surveying the damage from saturday's ok my prize has to oakland california the mayor will stick x. of us out of the city the latest riley ended with the violence police firing tear gas and flash bombs meanwhile in washington at deadline nation by the national poll departments to dismantle occupy accounts his post would activate staying put activist robet war from the occupying to see actions he signs that the latest violence shows how militarized the us police have become. i think you have to recognize the specifics of the oakland police department they're known as one of

the most violent repressive in the country and it's exposed how militarists militarized american police have become in recent years so you know it's it's charting it's horrifying to see what's coming out of oakland but it's hardly surprising knowing what we know and it's worth remembering that the oakland police may be under federal control soon because there have been so many civil rights abuses there if you look at the videos you don't see protesters attacking people you see protesters sticking together in ways that try to shield each other from the police and i think it's important to recognize the distinction that there i haven't seen anything that looked like violence on behalf of the protesters coming out of oakland i've just seen people being proactive in recognizing that they're going to be facing what's effectively an armed force. and police in london have also been accused of excessive in their efforts to clear out ok by demonstrators protesters to together last night as officers take over their camps. has warned the london based battle between occupiers and. what we've seen in the last twenty four hours

is the first picture of. a building that they were calling the bank of ideas it was a building that by u.b.s. the bank and it was evicted by a group of anyone who's been up against a bailiff in this country would call them hired thugs basically and what you see in 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 supersoaker from their face the police apparently did nothing apart from briefly confiscate the keys of the car keys of the bailiff 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. from the police . protection promises are coming thick and fast in russia less than five

weeks before the presidential poll prime minister and presidential hopeful alleging the person outlined his program to reform the country's economy and he's said pre-election article well he's eager to screen off reports. this article has already been deemed by many analysts is a whole list of reforms proposed by the prime minister on the economy first of all . says he wants to see the role of the state and state monopolies reduced for example gas from quite an influence on russia's business life secondly the fight against corruption especially in the sphere of high level kickbacks during state orders and purchases more attention is needed to be agreed there as well now another major problem for the economy according to the prime minister is a dependency on natural resources which has to be reduced as well and. that if these issues would be dealt with successfully it should improve the investment

climate in the country and increase the economies competitiveness against other international players there's also another point worth mentioning from that article and that is the idea to propose tax we should concern real estate and other a luxury purchases an issue which has been and is still being discussed in russian society for quite some time now. a quick look now at some of the major news stories making headlines across the globe thanks pointy money should ask wade has rocked central period danger of one hundred people officials say a number of homes were damaged in the quake just after midnight local time on sunday as head had been treated for minor injuries in hospital five years ago. should the country's leading about five hundred. nigerian terrorist organization is suspected of attacking a police station in the north kano gunmen opened fire through explosives killing

possibility of war between the united states and iran is being debated there around the world that's what the mood is like inside the country to discuss that the endowed joined by iran's interim minister. it's possible thank you for your time this was done yesterday we're talking several days after the e.u. introduced oil sanctions against iran and i know the iranian leadership has

responded by saying the sanctions would do more harm to europe and then to iran syria still says iran gets seventy percent of its revenues from oil do you have any fears about negative social reactions including strikes as people may lose their jobs do you take this somehow into account in your work. that these speculations on you our country and our government or the power of the people all around ruling bodies are in power as a result of popular voting therefore our government and our role for it is completely popular and our people have participated in all areas and spheres of our life from the very start of the revolution. therefore as i've said there's nothing new about these talks which are actually quite outdated and irrelevant we don't sell that much oil to us and our european accounts don't have that much money. to get this off the u.s.

and the west as a how do not conceal that one of the main tasks of the sanctions is to get the oil prices for the iranian oil lower does decreasing their revenues from the oil iran saudi is they want to have a you have to mine. pervades the political situation. the way we're going to tell them that i believe they've made a big mistake as this action results in turbulence for the oil and energy markets this very fact it can result in oil price growth in these conditions the west should expect a drop in the euro rate and the euro market this new decision will result in further economic problems which as we can see have affected them already and so far they've been unable to find solutions for oil and energy markets will experience instability in its own and this factor can boost prices for oil and energy products and jeopardize the market security but this is quite difficult for the markets which going on previous experience is used to consuming certain kinds of oil and energy and this also brings up technical and economic issues at the same time we're

not worried for iran at all we've ensured our efficient planning in advance and with god's help we will continue moving forward if i may i would like to ask you about the recent killing of a new clothes scientist have been other similar cases and as far as we understand the investigation into it has not made great progress so why have there been no substantial results and who might be behind the killing. of this is clear is day and they admitted mossad and the cia as well as some european security services don't like to see nations progress they would like to have control and a monopoly over everything in the great a rainy a nation of follows the path of searching for new technologies and it wants to stand firmly on its feet by means of its own strengths and produce its own knowledge they disapprove of this progress and they don't want to see other nations develop themselves and the fact that they come over to such people's homes or

attempt to murder an educated and broad minded university professor at the fullest highlights the grave nature of their situation that the scientists assassination will only make the iranian people stronger and more focused on mega. you know people understand that they've chosen the going to try the one of scientific progress the understory does not want to see this happen that it would cause harm to have the physical annihilation of people in full daylight is a sign of the adversary's complete powerlessness in this nation that's the last you know that r.t. has been comprehensively covering the situation in the arab countries as we have covered the wars in libya and syria we often heard complaints from the leadership that the intelligence services of other countries have stepped up their operations on the territories of the countries concerned in the past year the way many are ledged imaginaries in syriana libya who could see with our own eyes that some people were apparently not libyans but forth on the side of the rebels can you see

any increase in the operations of intelligence services from other countries or any attempts to penetrate your territory at least in recent years since the latest events in the arab countries began. you see foreign powers and other enemies who would work everywhere they might also be present in our country but we do not feel we should worry about this. of course we should look out for superpowers and our enemies attempting to interfere in the home affairs of arab countries especially in syria and in all countries where the people are in charge of running the nations they must keep track of such a tell. me about the arab spring began at first even the iranian leadership hailed the movement in egypt in libya as expressing democratic sentiment but now this one here is the past the attitude towards prevents around your country has changed do you still believe those are people joined by their own democratic ideas or do you see hundred other

countries in the advance of the arab spring. any popular movement as long as people . submit a realistic regime of world super. embassy is obviously trying to lead people away from the right along and neutralize the popular management about all transformers and favor of their own interests but it will have to get a pure straightforward all right plans that people have been following a lot in terms of the region how well in china is stipulated by their willingness to defend their rights which is a legitimate demand from iran's viewpoint that what buttons that minister can one say to the instability and they would you know has considerably increased the narcotic drugs trafficking. in and out on kong as yes afghanistan is certainly the focus of narcotic plantations now the americans and europeans are there and since they came narcotic drugs production has increased forty fold and it's a financial source for most terrorists who infringe the security of central asian

states the states of the region and russia itself even if it's a fact that both iran and russia host their main struggle trafficking routes i was just the pairing for this interview several colleagues approached me at r.t. i asking if there was going to be a war between iran and the usa was you on for. a while in and then let me say this again all those fabrications and not need to was the islamic republic of iran is a strong power capable of defending its regional security for me and the iranian people and being a great and powerful nation and not afraid of those futile threats that.
