a foreign media blackout making the reality on the ground hard to confirm and the opposition isn't making that any easier as well as it argues over just how many people are being killed artie's either bennett has the latest on this. the syrian observatory for human rights it's one of the most widely quoted sources of syrian casualty figures but it's not always telling the truth and ownership the syrian observatory for human rights is left several media outlets quoting false information as to rivals fight for the same name the original group was hijacked by opposition activists are posting military deaths alongside civilian ones both sides claim they're the official observatory this is the original site in arabic with an english version on facebook and this is the fake site launched in the center and mostly in english several foreign news outlets have assume they are one and the same thing quoting the fake sites casualty figures the consequence of

a very different perspective of the crisis the original sites latest figures showed just over five thousand one hundred civilian deaths against almost two thousand military casualties the rival site claims well over six and a half thousand civilians have been killed and barely six hundred troops a difference many claim suggests this is a lot more than just a numbers game i don't think even the people using these figures are have any objectivity really they have an agenda a clear agenda is there just the fire by any means possible that assad regime is a brutal massacring regime and it needs to fall a soon as possible and we can see if the united nations security council when that human rights strategy for regime change doesn't work how annoyed western governments are how have got syrian observatory original observatory strictly opposes military intervention the man who hijacked it's name disagrees. used to translate at the real observatory he was fired after falsely claiming to be an

official spokesman and using a live interview to call for a no fly zone since then he's launched a smear campaign against the original group claiming there. impostors as are we and these figures have been quoted by the b.b.c. c.n.n. and a.b.c. australia the other groups say they tried to pass some political views censored by calling for no fly zone for international intervention and we made it clear that sitting on the server tree for human rights. origin organization is that we are i guess an interventional we are against a no fly zone all we need is to stop the bloodshed in all that is going on in syria as always and is group refused to speak on camera stating i cannot waste my time talking about this at the moment whilst people are dying in homes there are my priority right now he did refer us to another opposition group based in london and they too refused to comment on the ownership of the observatory but they did

confirm that reporting military deaths was not in their interest it's not our position to report the casualties of. government troops the b.b.c. and the guardian had to withdraw material after falsely quoting as always the human rights observatory the un stop counting the death toll claiming it's too difficult to keep track of but it's human rights chief also said five thousand civilian deaths should be enough to provoke international action the real observatory still documents the deaths civilian or otherwise but it may be too late for the numbers to matter either bennett r.t. london. and a u.s. based professor. believes outside forces are fueling the fire of conflict in syria by waging an information war. media as. it is.

that is killing innocent civilians and then there is a commission of fact finders sent by the arab league who. said that this is in fact facing. you come on we. public and private property killing civilians and the military and security forces and any government in the world has to put down any kind of arms that is just to restore law and order it seems that the outside forces or some outside force has some words in their words. not helping at all. and the moscow is condemning all sides of the syrian conflict for instigating violence while saying president assad is ready for talks with the opposition and a political analyst. believes that russia's approach will actually help to solve

the crisis by leaving the rebels in syria no choice but to negotiate after so many months of military operations by the rebels in syria at this pretty clear that what we are dealing with here is definitely not a peaceful protest but an armed rebellion supported from abroad the veto helping peace more than anything because at the styling the forum by the opposition that cannot count on the foreign intervention as happened in libya and they lock the top of the regime and therefore and fuck the butyl is creating better conditions for the opposition to come to the negotiating table and in that sense the vehicle is fostering peace. you with your company today and just coming your way a bit later in the program the legal advice for the caffeine craving for workaholic

summoned. parliament for the first time since the islamic revolution of nine hundred seventy nine he will answer questions on his management of government and economic policy this comes amid the latest oil between iran and the west the european union is preparing to stop importing iranian fuel from july e.u. consumers account for around twenty percent of iran's oil output the islamic state warns that europe is shooting itself in the foot by cutting off trade and that view is shared by the spanish ambassador to tehran which. says the e.u. embargo was actually in washington and serves u.s. interests. what we're seeing here is not a decision that comes actually from european countries to spain never want to disembark go to to prove to be put in place this is something that comes externally from the united states pressure on the european union the european union actually had a very good relationship in terms of the economy and trade with iran it was retrieved

in the last twenty years the connections that have been lost after the iranian revolution and the situation was improving until we came to these new tension and he's not just to spain and italy also greece imports lots of oil from iran and it could be hard hit in a way that would bring them bankrupt in the coming future that would be a complete disaster for the european union and for the euro and that can happen because of these of these political move it has now become an economic issue and can have even more. destructive effects if the iranians decide to say cut of the strait of hormuz or even if they now decide to beat europe to it by. by by cutting off their oil now because we need this time to find alternative supplies if they cut the supply now we want to be able to find them

rid this region in our view. not only completely illegal and awful and had north resolution to be used within the domains of international law but even more importantly they are counterproductive to your objective of getting this region rid of militancy and terrorism and extremism because if one straight leads to getting you target number one or target number three to be you're creating five more targets with ten more targets in the militancy that is in the in the for doing that it gets to the militants to attract more people to join their ranks. and about our special artie interviews next hour here for now britain could soon be turning to chemical weapons to and force the law this according to the national academy of sciences if made legal police could use substances currently banned for

even the greek government has done to its very own citizens over the general strike so it wouldn't surprise me if these chemicals are being used on british street that similar a cure and so is what happened but we need to say is that the police have over extended the use of force on previous demonstrations so far they have curtailed the right to protest by threatening students to use rubber bullets and water cannons and the latest announcement actually makes very clear the intentions of the police to further curtail our right to protest. let's get to the outer world of but here some other international news for you in brief we'll start with greece the crucial between the greek prime minister and debt inspectors on averting the country's bankruptcy has ended with no result look at the proper demos fail to secure the support of his coalition for a raft of new austerity measures they reportedly could not agree on cuts in pensions eurozone finance ministers are to discuss the bail out on thursday and
