but opposition activists posting military jets alongside civilian one both sites 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 december 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 a very different perspective of the crisis the original sites latest figures show 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
4:01 pm
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 arab league monitor the original observatory strickly 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 zones since then he's launched a smear campaign against the original group claiming they're the 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 of the is censored by calling for no fly zone but international intervention and we made it clear i sit on their victory for human rights. original down. sation is that we are i guess
4:02 pm
an interventional we are i guess of no fly zone all we need is to stop the bloodshed in that is going on in syria as always and his group refused to speak on camera stating i cannot waste my time talking about this is the moment whilst people are dying in homs they're 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 stopped counting the death toll claiming it's too difficult to keep track of but its 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
4:03 pm
for the numbers to matter either bennett's r.t. london. and israeli website reports that british and qatari special forces are already in syria assisting the rebels risk a middle east expert says if the claims prove to be true it won't help bring peace to the region. but this will probably mean more escalation on the ground some more covert military operations and on the political level we've also heard that some arab league countries all the arab league very little is intending on the officially recognizing the syrians are just one council leader syrian political opposition body so i think it has something which is what we expected and of course really i see that more violence will be in the making however we also do hear that the russians for example are providing the most assistance is possible they can to the syrians to deal with this issue now don't forget that the russian side has
4:04 pm
cautioned time and again of the rise of islamic fundamentalists so the presence of islamic fundamentalists inside syria those who oppose a syrian regime and syria has also spoken all of them as well the suffer the sudden the members of al qaida and the syrian ambassador to lebanon made it very clear one week ago when he said that most of the weapons and most of even filtration most of the smuggling is coming in from the level and unfortunately as the escalation from us as opponents into the increases i think that we have been in the sky over more and more smuggling and more and more of a negative role from some lebanese in the syrian issue. this middle east expert talking to us there from beirut. eurozone member states have refused to give their immediate backing to a second bailout for greece this despite how things brokering a multi-party last minute deal on a sturdy measures demanded by creditors the blocks finance ministers say they will only be able to decide on the one hundred thirty billion euro rescue plan next week but the freshest early plans of already triggered
4:05 pm
a general strike in greece the last time the country's build up the outcry over public sector cuts led to violent riots and brought down the government probably all stare of the think tank british group in london says the new deal might in fact ruin the greek economy. greece is in severe economic difficulties and it's failed to meet many of the targets that the eurozone in the i.m.f. has set it for what it has to do in terms of to be able to reform its finances to be able to pay back some of the debts that it so that has been largely caused by issues to do with the euro itself and the problem that the euro creates and how it makes the greek economy competitive with it so basically greece cannot survive while it is in the euro and the more austerity measures which are being forced upon it will just hurt the greek economy even further wages have been cut by thirty percent on average in greece pensions are being kept people are finding it very
4:06 pm
hard to survive because of the result of the austerity measures in the problems caused by the euro. really what they're doing at the moment is just throwing more money at the problem and really putting back the day when greece will have to deform will have to leave the euro and they're throwing good money after bad really any further buyouts of greece will only just temporarily july. the reckoning which is a default and of course exiting the euro so there collimate can become competitive . eight afghan children have been killed by nato air strike on wednesday according to president hamid karzai in a statement he condemned the aerial bombing by foreign troops this comes a week after the united states announced that it could hold combat operations in afghanistan earlier than expected but mentor filmmaker clay claiborne's told brianna that he thinks that despite combination from the afghan president civilian casualties will continue to rise he had to put on
4:07 pm
a certain pretenses to have any viability is a legitimate see as an afghan something like this happens but he is basically a tool of the american occupation there so we can expect any real demand change from here this kind of thing obviously doesn't win hearts and minds this happened in the same area were afghan soldiers killed french troops important i think because the u.s. is planning to pull out of the movie next day for it because of pictures are moving your troops out we can expect more airstrikes and more civilian casualties in afghanistan you are a sock two thousand and eight percent. of two thousand and ten in terms of civilian casualties i'm afraid we're going to see that trend continue in two thousand and twelve precisely because they know that they have to pull out safely because they

she's the youngest foreign minister and of world that has to deal with some of the toughest security challenges he not rabani khar pakistan's foreign minister is joining us now on r.t. thank you very much for your time minister it's been more than ten years since pakistan joined the u.s. military operations in afghanistan do you think that was the right thing to do you see i think. you would you know things look very different but of course. the collaboration that pakistan has had in the last ten years pakistan has bit of a heavy price for that but it is also a fact that pakistan inhibits the region inhabits the region and will continue to have inhabited this region and this region has some serious problems the region has some serious problems but into terrorism and pakistan has always maintained that it is important to have collaborative joint efforts to be able to rid this region rather than for law sort of unitary approaches or stall or slides in how we want to
4:19 pm
rid the streets and you mentioned. the price of your involvement in afghanistan has been pretty high may. a thousand of your citizens lost their lives millions of people have been replaced there are estimates that it cost your country around seventy billion u.s. dollars but we often hear criticism about pakistan's role. in vomit in afghanistan from the american side do you think the united states treats you fairly. i would like to answer that question by seeing the. two is solid robust partnership is that each able to live or operate within the bounds of what is. believed to be you know what has been agreed. treating fairly is concerned i think pakistan has in this particular case not been treated fairly by anybody for that matter because pakistan continues to lose pakistan continues
4:20 pm
to lose in terms of economic costs in terms of the social cost i think sometimes that is not emphasized on enough so we continue to lose in many many ways but some times the rule that is that is put on pakistan is rule which is understandable which defies logic so to speak because if the first country to benefit from is stable one stands pakistan and the first country to lose from in you know unstable understand is also pakistan i think seeing that pakistan has cause of the problem and is creating trouble isn't imaginary solution it is in the imaginary blame it is an imaginary looking for an answer but the real solutions the real problems have to be faced you know on the ground president obama said in a number of occasions that one of the reasons why the united states is using drones to file for your territory and to hit targets on your territory is because the
4:21 pm
pakistani authorities allegedly. are not in control of their own. and my question is. why pakistan tolerating the use of military technology that are killing targets on pakistani land that ultimately oftentimes lead to the. loss of life among the pakistani citizens this is one of the major problems that keeps us from achieving our successes in our view dunes are not only completely illegal and under full and have 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 strike leads to getting you target number one or target number three today you're creating five more targets or
4:22 pm
ten more targets in the militancy that it breeds in the in the for doing that it gives to the militants to attract more people to join their ranks we are today in pakistan suffering from the consequences of what you know many other powers of the world decided to do in that region to rid itself of. a challenge that appeared in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine which was the soviet invasion of one star now in trying to deal with that we have created certain groups which are to be. a challenge to everybody. so again do we want to repeat the same mistakes again clearly pakistan doesn't think so and pakistan has got to go to police said that it is illegal. to productive just last week. and they've heard reports was like to the media that pakistani security forces and maintaining contacts with.
4:23 pm
terrorism and extremist organizations that are operating in afghanistan as far as i understand there was it when. an allegation that they're supporting them financially. is this true first of all this is not a new to report we were told by need to at least that this is a. single person not in the report but is thing the country and the single person. pretty much. because this is not a new accusation or allegation which have been made and the specific context of the mention where with the taliban of all to intelligence agencies i think every intelligence agency in the world particularly the ones which are working of on sunday and with one group or the other and all of them at some level and these guys are now pretty much out in the open because people are openly talking about balkan countries so i think just creating you know this is this is something which is not even worth a comment quite frankly thank you very much for
