greece sacrifices fifteen dollars in order. to appease its international creditors . population. and. commence discovered in page six by the rendition of dissident who takes his. contracts. this is our news twenty four hours a day welcome to the program syria could get another chance diplomatic escape route from its continuing political crisis. tuesday that's a made widespread international outcry caused by clashes at the u.n. security council and swelling violence within syria let's get the details let's

cross the line. now tell you what's the purpose of this diplomatic trip. full of the main goal of russia's delegation in syria today to stop the violence that's coming from both sides of the conflict to have them sit down at the negotiation table and talk now russian delegation to syria today is headed by the country's foreign minister sergei lavrov and together with foreign intelligence chiefs because. they very message from russians residents of president assad's message that's calling on for siller syria's democratic changes in the country and while the speculations have it that those changes made to the change of regime ahead of his trips sergei lavrov just once again that's asking presidents of certain countries to step down is not a russian profession now this comes after russia vetoed for the second time u.n. security council's resolution on syria previously russia had asked the u.n. security council not to. washed with studs decisions and give russian delegation

a chance to visit damascus one more time to talk to president assad once more before voting on the resolution however that request was ignored which russia found quite disrespectful meanwhile the u.s. has shut down its embassy in syria and is seeking further regional and national sanctions. on syria as well as the u.k. britain has recruited its ambassador to syria as well know who warned russia's attempts not to allow the repetition over the libyan scenario in syria and here's this report by sara first. devices on every level the syrian crisis displace opinion from the streets to the international stage the united states is disgusted that a couple members of this council continue to prevent us from fulfilling our sole purpose here this is a doomed regime as well as

a murdering regime there is no way it can get its credibility back internationally or with its own people. when you come when you realize that you see what a mistake russia is making by backing this regime so many in the west russia's decision along with china to veto the u.n. resolution on syria is difficult to understand america's u.n. envoy described the decision to shameful and accuse the countries of attempting to sell out the syrian people and the shielding a tyrant the right from the very beginning of russia has been very clear on its stance of the quite this in syria and in its continued calls for dialogue. alongside calls for the government to withdraw its troops from cities we wanted to demand of the armed groups also leave the cities and stop the ongoing attempts to take over residential areas now suggestions were very mentally rejected by the co-sponsors of the text it loose. co-sponsors i'm more interested in simply finding

somebody to blame drawing attention away from the armed groups as a receiving arms and other kinds of encouragement from abroad the west has leveled heavy criticism that most continued arms trade with syria saying it's backing the is sandra regime has been a good looks however is russia's continued efforts to mediate with all sides of the conflict we speak with the head a serious internal opposition the national coordinator council he'd met with a russian delegation recently we asked how they viewed russia's stance russia said they're not against the will of the syrian people that they stand with the syrian people and the legitimate demands we ask them to support the syrian people under whatever will protect them from violence and killing otherwise their position should be considered a sttng with the regime with these tell you and russia's unwillingness to join the economic sanctions most game may have a hard time convincing the west of its neutrality of course russia much more

careful towards all sort of because after a. good caesar perverse some countries the nato countries doesn't want to for the result was a us citizen zero a cynical process. libya was nor for absorb but not total board as there usually on libya was. but not about syrians. and as the political tit for tat continues to play out an increasingly polarized population and watching their lives and country brought to a standstill sanctions a crippling the economy and the increase in violence is raising the death toll daily the geopolitical wrangling now seems to be overshadowing the issues of basic she even right for the people living in syria. continues to receive harsh remarks over its move to veto

a draft resolution on syria and the u.s. being one of the most vocal and the times correspondent i ask about this is justified you know washington repeatedly resolutions critical of israel. i would start paraphrasing susan rice i would say that the international community is the real one not made two and the six of person go monitors in the g.c.c. is this guy just it by the travesty of repeated us vetoes in a day un women ever the topic of israel comes so israel us can veto any scene regarding israel is or can keep but killing men and women and children palestine but august really russia and china they cannot block a result lucian that imposes regina change in syria so what are you going to see from now want is a radicalization and that's already happening so this means. the rebels in syria

the free syrian army will keep being armed and weaponized by not only qatar and saudi arabia which is already happening for months not but specially by the united states the resolution is not blaming in fact an armed insurrection as well can you imagine if you have a mid-size city in the united states called troll but ending surat action how do you think the response of the us government would be. and the us are thinking to hit syria with comic sanctions about it hangs a political analyst online magazines might say sanctions were in the home the people want the president. well i think in many ways it's going to exacerbate if it does mean the dialogue gets off gets taken off the table it does mean that the west will try and intervene in other ways you know as we've seen the last few months affectively the arab league to kind of step in and to monitor and effectively

become the lackeys of western interests to a certain extent so it's i think the malls or the west kind of removes itself from syria the more pressure and we're hearing with the you know our sanctions as well the more actually i think the syrian people will suffer as a result through any western intervention you will have you know the syrian people effectively having their democratic initiative taken from their hands and effectively you know you have western countries trying to give them democracy in states which historically has been proven not to be the case but also sanctions aren't going to really affect president are sad and the kind of cronies in charge sanctions will have a direct impact upon the syrian people well so come on the program a soldier of good fortune you let me try and put a nobel peace prize for that of the un compering climbed onto the secret documents to wiki leaks. that could save.

western economic warfare against iran if iran finds itself on able to carry out political transactions. to the accounts in central bank. fifteen thousand more greek jobs slashed is the latest play from austerity measures adopted by athens to appease its international creditors the cuts are especially worrying given that the greek economy is in freefall countries hopes now rest with a second one hundred thirty billion package will see asians between bankers and the government. austerity measures went so this. is don's get a cash you know paying the interest. two years now we are living through out here of austerity measures or the like only on measures that they are put or the burdens to the poorest to the weakest members of our society and our debt you state of be

reduced is get inflated so i don't have any hope to visit new measures it is the same as if we continue to put money to our creditors and to drain our economy lead in the lead they need even more austere recession this massive privatization they are pushing to us actually they are nothing but a scheme to give up our public infrastructure infrastructure out public property to foreigners at especially big german enterprises school now greece is a kind of experiment for all european union there's just trying to impose to us or state the measures the salaries they dismantlement of the protective legislation for the workers that later they are going to try to impose to other people starting from the people and the counters of the south we do not want this continues sacrifices sacrifices without any kind of cope. well germany and france have also called for more say over greece's finances including future bailouts it was an

attempt by berlin to assume control of a country's budget we've rejected by the debt ridden nation that's one of the themes featured in today's kaiser report coming up next hour. what they're taking into consideration is that all of this debt as off the balance in all the end. immediately. bank and germany so germany as effective ways to seize control of greece they've seized control of particle they also be totally in control of spain and they're totally in control of the euro zone it's all legal remember they put all that bad debt off the balance sheet you don't have interest rate risk you have political risk in the countries that are now germany germany doesn't have a political risk because they are europe. the former head of britain's m i six by agency so marco island is being sued by two dissident libyans you know to be held to rest and report to be done torturers in

two thousand for their case against substance out of the sky real letters from alan to the colonel congratulating him on the return of the prisoners ortiz i bet it has the story. of ducted imprisoned and tortured for six years all thanks to british government help those are the claims of two former gadhafi detainees who say they were captured by m i six flown to libya in two thousand and four abdul hakim bell who is now libya's military commander along with sami el saadi he was part of the libyan islamic fighting group they're suing a former british spy chief for complicity in the torture to me the most damaging aspect is just how much the british were involved in even just two cases of sending senior people back to libya. and then the potential damages how much they knew about the nature of gadhafi regime and how he and his officials were torturing

prisoners and that should have been obvious documents found in tripoli by human rights watch seemingly expose britain's key role in the libyans rendition within m i six counterterrorism chief says mark allen pulling the strings he allegedly writes in one letter sent to get daffy spy chief moose a coup so. i congratulate you on the safe arrival of our loss of deep mr hard this was the least we could do for you and for libya the papers show the cia seized bell bangkok thanks to an m i six tipped off al saadi was supposedly snatched by the m i six in hong kong both men were sent straight to libya and the notorious abu salim prison where they say they were tortured there are statements from u.k. authorities. that they. they do not wish torture to happen. in

the context of death those sorts of statements that. everyone would have know there was an extremely high risk indeed or less certainty that these individuals will be tortured but by that point the british government's love in with good daffy had already begun turning him from their sport to darling and it wasn't just good daffy who reap the rewards mark allen was britain's negotiator in what was a two way deal it was in this exclusive london clubs to mark owen said to have met . his intelligence chief the alleged occasion a top secret dinner to celebrate the end of negotiations libya gets a seat at the international table in return for scrapping its weapons program and giving britain a lucrative oil contract one worth fifteen billion pounds went to b.p. in two thousand and four the same company allen had just joined there even allegations the controversial release of lockerbie bomber mcgraw he was part of the

same shady deal to find them well and refuses to comment on the claims against him if t m i six hasn't denied complicity in torture but the government saying all actions had its approval a longstanding get out clause but maybe not now the secrets out so we know that ministers in the past resign over these sort of acts of complicity that and those ministers themselves should face criminal prosecution in the civil case against markel and could be just the tip of the iceberg of what went on behind the scenes between britain and get daffy police have launched a criminal investigation to see just how far up the tree complicity may have gone either bennett r t london. that we also have more revelations on torture networks on our website r.t. dot com you can find out about the demise of the former ambassador products in die . to be a. writer much more right. these

are the images the world seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations rule that. barack obama has approved a fresh set of strong sanctions against iran for lunch institutions u.s. and iranian assets and transactions involving the country's central bank. oriental and african studies so it's all part of a prediction political game in terms of threats coming from the u.s. specially this distance is sanctions against iran central bank i think that they're mostly produce or direct for domestic consumption in the united states as we get closer to the presidential elections in the u.s. we see that each side trying to seem as being more as being tough.

and this is another move by president obama to satisfy either is rivals or the supporters of his campaign it's sad to see that the u.s. is undermining the work the. fantastic work that the doing with iran and iran itself is trying very hard to keep the environment professional in the face of the recent assassination of uranium scientists which really was a big blow to the relationship between iran and the. well meanwhile iran's foreign minister says tehran once the assassinations of its scientists who seek official international recognition for physicists have been murdered in the capital in the last two years about pointing a finger of blame that was had a terror on now one sexto know what we call cooperation best to get in cases to national happening as expert. says the scientists in iran an hour for you to leave their homes because what war is rather striking because very few people are talking

about the assassinations of you know any and scientists this is tracking because the un did release a very definite statement the nonaligned movement has released a statement condemning the assassination of the scientists but there's been no word from the atlantic powers condemning this act of terrorism in the streets of their own and according to my sources scientists in iran are now fearful of going outside conducting the every day of business after all one of the scientists was shot sitting in his car we didn't do because his daughter from a daycare center that means ordinary activities have become very fine you scientists. well you can find details on that story and more on our website r.t. dot com here's a look at what else is waiting for you then this is from an empty handed after almost two million dollars worth of jewelry was stolen from you know the russian

airport. and occupy wall street heads to the classroom as one u.s. senator opens up of course starting the campaign thought about it online at r.t. dot com. u.s. soldier bradley manning who's now awaiting a court martial trial on suspicion of passing data to whistle the wiki leaks has been nominated for the nobel peace prize and icelandic parliamentary group put him forward saying he exposed corruption and crimes clarkston clear and activist for manning's cause thinks the accused deserves the prize movement barack obama deserved it is. well i believe that bradley manning is accused of the greatest act of civil disobedience least in my lifetime and what he is accused of is leaking

documents and video. that has led to the end of the iraq war has led to pro-democracy rallies and uprisings all over the world and i think it's much deserved that he he receives this nobel peace prize if obama gets of the why shouldn't he obama has done very little for peace even though he promised it and obama is also taking credit for ending the iraqi war when actually that's not the truth and the iraqi government did not want to allow legal immunity for u.s. troops after january first and the reason that they didn't last immunity is because of what they saw in the cables and the videos showing civilian deaths that were being covered up in the corruption by the u.s. government. now let's take a look at some other international headlines a very. different party has said it won't support the president's nominee for
