with the headlines this week and all of this today you're watching the weekly with me wrong. the arab league is mulling over what action to take on the crisis in syria with reports of escalating violence meanwhile the head of the group's observer mission has resigned just as a proposal is being considered to send monitors from the u.n. to the country. reports from cairo now where the. body is convening as we speak. the violence in syria has been escalating there are claims by the by the opposition who are saying is that more than one hundred more than one hundred people have been

killed just over the past week of the claims from the opposition from the rebel fighters come. with jordi of the people that there is a massacre going on in the city of homs the syrian officials beg to differ and those people who are who are have been killed are people who supported the government. people who were kidnapped by the armed groups and they were massacred on the. evening after the. order due to the exact time of the meeting of the security council in new york syrian authorities are also saying that the military support and financial support for their bills is coming from abroad from various other states there have been reports that char and the u.k. special forces are fighting on the sides of the rebel and also what with the with the recent announcement by the head of al qaeda who has said who called on all arab muslims and muslims worldwide to support syrian rebels those claims from the syrian

opposition may not be untrue moskos very persistent and are continuing to press for the fact that it's that it's up to syrians themselves in order that the series themselves must be able to solve the current crisis of course the support of the arab league in its endeavors to try and stop the bloodshed in the country however russia's envoy to the united nations. had to say even in an interview to our teeth that perhaps the arab league isn't quite as effective at the moment as it should be as the monitoring mission of that i believe was there and as the situation was evolving everybody saw that the government troops were pulling out of certain downs or sort of quarters in the city is that door to door he was taken over by armed rebel groups that would mean that the the armed confrontation will continue and escalate there is also washington which increasingly which increasingly that makes its rhetoric

a little bit sharper than before that they're trying to rally countries in order to press on the syrian government for the president to step down of course with the recent developments with the support from al qaeda this is becoming more and more dubious situation with every moment of while the violence continues people here including the arab league in cairo trying to figure out what exactly they can do in order to stop the violence. we're going to go reporting right meantime political analyst dr says the u.s. and al qaida a both have similar goals in syria. many branches of a choir are in fact related to the cia directly and many of you know that god had been created regionally by the united states i mean cia or the regiment general accordingly i think that though it is behind and quiet there in syria as it was behind the car there in libya it is the same by the way and that's why you know i think i've tried to tell you trying to manipulate the arab people that iraq are

there is a given is it because it is some form of and didn't compromise between the. underneath this regime so we have to put in mind also that the fundamentalists in general are in a very good relationship in the eulogy regarding you know the issue of capitalism that capitalism and fundamentalism are our allies if you live. from an idiot a different point of view and also it is there are other i mean regarding their interests that's why the both of them are fighting the same images you know the syrian regime and especially and largely if you like the arab nationalism. now with the u.s. critical of states supplying military hardware to damascus so there are now calls from washington to opposition groups in syria and assad has marina portnoy reports the conflict torn regions are already flooded with weapons already and coming from the u.s. . at the united nations security council america holds one permanent seat but when

it comes to weapons the world's largest arms exporter is often seen as sitting on two chairs they say there isn't an international embargo on arms preventing them from doing that that is a fact but that doesn't change the immorality of supplying a dictatorial regime that is killing its people in massive numbers every day and we are are deeply concerned about that as u.s. officials continue publicly scolding countries over relations with syria critics say the accusations are being thrown from a tremendous glasshouse the us is a hugely difficult in this regard because they've long been the largest arms dealer and most of those weapons the us sold the store equally more than four hundred billion dollars worth since the one nine hundred sixty s. have gone to the middle east and you can't argue. seriously that it's made that region any more stable in the past few years nearly fifty percent of u.s.

weapons exports have been flowing to the middle east many countries with the biggest appetite for american weapons have also made headlines for carrying out brutal crackdowns against dissidents and opposition groups if you are are fog you're ok in france they are thugs you're not i mean this is for all of us who have been overseas the duplicity in apocrypha of american foreign policy is painfully evident according to congressional figures america has sold one point four billion dollars worth of weapons to bahrain since two thousand and america struck its. single biggest arms deal when saudi arabia ordered sixty billion dollars worth of arms the us has long subsidize the israeli military and recently supplied them with bunker buster bombs experts say this strategic arming of middle eastern countries is aimed at iran and extending u.s. dominance in the region. is going on. against your

own it's not a rule you know human rights. it's all about some geopolitical f.b.i. whistle blowers sibel edmonds has accused america of playing particularly dirty while leading a campaign for regime change in syria but it's not some kind of. simultaneously op rising situation where people are a ballet and then suddenly they are mysteriously armed and mysteriously arms are being smuggled into syria from cherokee well who who is providing this arms nobody is asking in the us media well these are u.s. arms shipped to turkey this as the u.s. military complex flush with record revenue continues to lobby its interests on capitol hill arms manufacturers are some of the biggest companies in america they're some of the most powerful lockheed martin not only do they making so much

for the defense department around the world there are federal contractor and many other levels there are going to vote in elections this statue outside the u.n. headquarters is a symbol of global peace and nonviolence but critics say the idea has been twisted by the u.s. which goes around advocating peace while arming countless conflicts all for the sake of profit marina point ny r.t. new york. it's good to have you with us you're watching our we got a lot of pictures again for you here as thousands are out on the streets of greece once again as there are a parliament is set to choose between tough new cuts or and. imminent default the country's prime minister has warned that failing to get more bailout cash would be cut off again live pictures you're watching right here from central athens the e.u. creditors that want an unpopular new austerity bill passed in return for the one hundred thirty billion euro rescue package the cabinet has cleared the plan but lost six ministers in the process some coalition and police are threatening to vote

they're bailing out greece with more debt so more debt exacts more interest payments exact more exact more interest payments and the end result of that is near feudalism you get to a point where you have no there's no capital and everything you have is credits that you get from your overlords who are the banks or who are the the political elite who own you basically so of course the only solution is their repudiation default bankruptcy it's to write off the debt let someone else deal with it let the banks deal with the losses they extended the loans they had a great time making profit making fees with their buddies in the greek government and the greek politicians made a lot of money and now the greeks have to. pay because every want someone has to pay down the line but now instead of making the people that made all the money in the past pay they had a really great time you know it should be greek families and people on pensions and seven year olds and couples they can't afford to continue to make money and they have to lose their living standards and not die very gracefully because people before them are kleptocrats and still are so it's actually quite outrageous. about

these live pictures for you here on our live streaming coming in from central athens as you can see just outside the parliament building there it's ultimately thousands of protesters gathering in the parliament debates more deep cuts people upset over proposed cuts to pensions minimum wages certainly this is covered more in depth at r.t. dot com with our team's financial analyst max these live pictures watch more of it as it goes on at our to talk. about still ahead if you're in the program a year pretty much exactly since the toppling of the former president mubarak but instead of celebrations across egypt a general strike people feel betrayed by the military rulers and want change but they are still waiting for. the group of politically active russians take the matter of election transparency into their own hands by organizing voters.

iran says it will soon reveal some major advances in its nuclear program speaking on the thirty third anniversary of the islamic revolution president ahmadinejad said to iran it would never stop enriching uranium iran insists its nuclear program is to services the mastic energy. united states and its allies like israel suspect iran could be pursuing nuclear weapons they've been piling up sanctions against iran. warns that europe's planned oil and. political analyst. says washington want to weaken the islamic republic but fail to see the danger their actions are creating. they've taken into consideration that iran is going through election parliamentary election probably the thing this is kind of backfire in terms of population of iran against. america and the european they go in very far because this is kind of an implication for the world

economy especially if this escalate to a military showdown and everything is going to be on the table all the inspection by nuclear agency. found that iran is actually weaponize ing their their system their reign in this point they are actually following the nuclear treaty agreement there is no violation to that and they ran said very clearly they're willing to cooperate with the international community but you have to wonder what really the international community at this point and what the american one at that point and as i said there's a lot of politics in it no matter what they saying the sanctions are coming at iran no matter what they are just a fine or opening their facility there is some judgment already been rendered against iran. on of the first anniversary of the ousting of former president hosni

mubarak egypt's activists of called for a general strike to ramp up the pressure against the ruling military council they want the council to step down immediately saying they are blocking reforms the military said it won't accept any ultimatum and will transfer power in june when the presidential elections are scheduled but many people fear they will remain in power beyond this date cairo based journalist bel true. every right not to trust the military. people are unsure about whether you actually transfer power in jean and so far the military and the ruling military council has yet to fulfill any of its promises that said since it came into power also just generally on the streets we're seeing massive human rights violations towards protesters where people are expressing their freedom of speech and we've seeing excessive use of tear gas and cartouche they call it here which is birdshot i'm aiming protesters it's been absolutely no reform of the police is it simplified by the football disaster

a few weeks ago which saw over seventy four people die so essentially we've seen very little reform since mubarak stepped down and people are basically anxious that nothing will change and that will just slip into a new a new dictatorship i think most people here would say they do say that the revolution never ended but it's called the continuance of the ongoing revolution really since january even after mubarak stepped down this time last year they've been continuous citizens and protests and violent clashes in egypt security forces pushing protesters pushing for change they haven't seen yet. now the crackdown on a western funded pro-democracy groups in cairo has been discussed by america's top general with egypt's marshalltown tarr way over four dozen foreigners have been arrested now facing trial for funding unrest in the country. for national report sets the timing of the club bell that's resting questions egypt's new government

crackdown on n.g.o.s has raised many questions and they may want to is why now the groups many of which funded by washington have been on the ground here for a while now they were at the vanguard of the uprising against mubarak that eventually brought the supreme council of the armed forces to power last february and no one has ever seems to care about their sources of income that is until they directed their criticism to the new military leadership lehmann's car for the slow pace of reform some of them are used by the other because. they had a quote in people who they are working to coordinate the notion that they are the ones that evolution. in their cause who live there this is very much for those of us who are there are two girls this is specie led to prosecutors raiding seventeen offices of advocacy groups forty three activists including americans germans and egyptians are now facing trial for illegally.
