arab league is calling on the un to create a joint peacekeeping force for syria as the group aims to melt pressure on president assad. police in greece for tear gas into crowds of protesters running outside the parliament which is set for a vote on more public sector cuts we get a lot of analysis on the greek situation a little later here on. iran promises to reveal major advances in its nuclear program which it insists is for peaceful energy purposes despite the long list of western sanctions imposed against it all top stories this hour.
3:01 pm
with a look back at the past seven days and the latest developments this is the weekly on. the arab league is calling on the u.n. security council to pass a resolution creating a joint peacekeeping force for syria the group also wants more international support for the opposition and hopes to paul further pressure on the regime. to reports now from cairo where the pan arab body has been meeting. the arab league is running out of options as a matter of fact they have at one point postponed their official statement and there are some rumors saying that the reason for that is because al's year and eleven have actually come out saying that they are against a u.n. peacekeeping mission that they do want syrians to sort things out on their own without any foreign intervention of course all of this is coming amongst the growing violence in the country which has been escalating by weeks sensually of course that the president of syria bashar al assad is saying that there is foreign
3:02 pm
intervention already playing at hand here and he did say that there was some military support coming from al qaeda fighters or mostly on the outer regions of syria and there was some rock intelligence which did support those claims they did say that the al qaeda fighters were coming into syria from its border with iraq of course all of this is also coming a right when washington is pressing hard on assad to step down and it's railing for anybody willing to join the coalition the so-called friends of syria who are going to meet in tunisia on the twenty fourth of february russia did this supports the arab league plan for the observer mission but they did believe that sometimes the mission was not entirely successful as the morning during mission of that i believe was there and as the situation was involving everybody sort of the the government troops were pulling out of certain domes or sort of quarters an ensuite is that
3:03 pm
door to door and was taken over by armed rebel groups that would mean that the the armed confrontation will continue and a russian delegation was in damascus for talks with president assad just on tuesday and after those talks president assad has emerged saying that he's willing to come and join the dialogue with the opposition the unfortunate thing being of course the opposition is not willing to carry out any talks with the current syrian government again russia's main point being that the diplomatic solution to the ongoing crisis in syria is the only way out of the bloodshed. an author and journalist action returns he told me a little early here in r.t. that the u.s. and all kind of fighting side by side in syria to protect common interests the arab league is being used presumably as some kind of proxy because we know that the united states and the european union. eventually.
3:04 pm
could happen should have. been saying british forces already in the ground so maybe there is already foreign intervention we have heard about al-qaeda in syria now and they could police the guns and weapons going into syria now that would be a great thing the un could do. to its once again the united states and european union states as usual supporting al qaeda really did in afghanistan prior to nine eleven u.s. troops and al qaeda side by side fighting against the assad of syria this really shows what exactly americans are up to they are not protecting the interests of u.s. citizens and or european union leaders are weary statement to back any attacks with lethal consequence in aleppo twenty eight dead in december forty four dead in damascus this is this is getting out of hand is getting dangerous. afshin rattansi talking with and learn it well with the u.s.
3:05 pm
critical of state supplying military hardware to damascus there are now calls from washington to opposition groups in syria and his buddies marina portnoy reports the conflict told the regions already flooded with weapons 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
3:06 pm
and most of those weapons the us sold the story quickly more than four hundred billion dollars worth of 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 here 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
3:07 pm
arms the u.s. 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 the war. against your own. 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 arms and mysteriously arms are being smuggled into syria from cherokee who who is providing this arms nobody is
3:08 pm
asking in the us media all these are u.s. arms shipped to turkey this is the u.s. military complex flush with record revenue continues to lobby its interest 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 make it so for the defense department around the world there are federal contractors 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. to greece now where police are far to gas and stun grenades into crowds of protesters who throwing stones and fall bombs at them several buildings around athens have been set ablaze there's been reports of injuries and the rest more makers are debating a choice between tough new code. or an imminent default the creditors want an
3:09 pm
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 or deputies in the process some coalition m.p.'s of threatened to vote against it if it does go ahead then fifteen thousand civil servants jobs will lose will be lost and the minimum wage will be slashed thousands of greeks have been protesting the deal throughout the week well let's now talk to a load of unused he's a former belgian m.p. and an international consultant where thousands of greeks as i've just said have been voicing their opinion of the cuts loud and clear they're demonstrating there today in athens they clearly don't want them do you think that greek lawmakers will still clear the new austerity package tonight as they've done with the ones before well of course you talk about the. majority of lawmakers doing so i think so yes they're all tied to the old political process that was corrupt the last twenty years so they're not going to change and when and nothing is the thing is will they
3:10 pm
get away with it that's another question i mean once it is going to be voted it's not sure that it will be in tune and when you say will they get away with it in light of what we're seeing with the protests among the greek people at the moment and of course we've got the looming elections later this this year in the spring well a bill of goods a greek people are outreached i mean come on let's cut all these legendary deals that would be in the last years of the greece greece as one of the lowest percentages of salaries on the gross national product thirty six percent that's lower than most countries i mean only eleven percent of the workforce is it increases in public service again one of the lowest and this country this country has only had some kind of social democracy end of the seventy's and remember this was a military regime before now did this duce people know what that was because that was the last regime similar things i mean of course they're not going to take it there be that reached. and i think if they're resilient enough they will do it
3:11 pm
again and i think the only real solution is not what the e.u. is now imposing on the only solution is social democracy i mean there is money on shipping gone pronounce their own sixteen percent of the world into down then ten their earnings went up forty five billion euros i mean i'm not talking the total sum there that's the amount that they went up in the in a crisis year and they've paid almost zero axis this is not some kind of bailout reform or what i can honestly form or getting an economy back on track this is no more than a social experiment with the era being commission is doing together with the e.c.b. and i.m.f. world bank is that attacking this one of the weakest country in the new this is a social experiment on how they found out what are the implications if greece does default now how will that affect the whole euro zone project clearly ministers
3:12 pm
there in brussels don't want greece defaulting leave the eurozone and yet law have we hear analysts saying secretly they would like to ditch greek greece and get rid of it. well i'm sure the sound was not so good but if i got your christian right i mean what they're trying to do in brussels to me is not saving greece but it trying to do is save the euro zone which is not exactly the same now i think they're all some of them must have already made up their mind and greece is going to have to leave the eurozone but remember the e.u. so far the european commission this is not a social democrat. organization this is an eel liberal economic organization they have other priorities than the people of the ordinary people the ordinary working man or people who live from a salary. do not have any hope that we will see some sort of democratic process take place you said little earlier though they won't be able to push these are sturdy measures through because of the public opinion and of course you've got
3:13 pm
those looming elections technocrats do you think they will be replaced by politicians and we could see the return to some forward to democracy there well in my work as a consultant i never predict in the future but first of all because i count and because what i can expect is only what i hope and what i guess will happen i can only hope that these measures will not be enforced on the greek people now because what this is is an experiment to make future elections be relevant to and to greece so much that what devan new party would have a new majority there will be they will have nothing because they will be bound by all these this is of this is war and democracy can no believe in there thank you very much and if your time live an international consultant former deputy speaker of the belgian parliament joining us live there in from assholes where we're bringing our live pictures from athens at the moment you can see those on the screen where we're seeing now thousands of protesters they are gathered outside the greek parliament at the moment we've just been talking with over news to about that
3:14 pm
debate concerning those are starting measures whether they're going to be imposed on not we don't know when the results are jew from that debate in parliament but certain. later on today in the next two three hours or so we're streaming the events there live on our website so you can see more of that simply by logging on to our dot com. well still ahead for you this hour a year since the toppling of mubarak. but instead of celebrations across egypt a general strike as people feel betrayed by the military rulers and want change that still hasn't come. group of politically active russians take the matter of election transparency into their own hands by organizing the voters believe. this story still to come 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 tehran would never stop enriching uranium iran insists
3:15 pm
its nuclear program is for peaceful energy purposes but in other states and its allies the e.u. and israel suspect terror arm could be pursuing nuclear weapons piling up sanctions against iran but i'm with that europe's planned oil embargo will fire in spain one of the biggest consumers of iranian oil says the sanctions would hurt it more than any other european state. based journalist we go and human are who believes the embargo has been forced upon europe. what we're seeing here is not a decision that comes actually from european countries to spain never wanted to go to to be put in place this is something that comes externally from the united states pressure on the european union so it calls into question spain's tanami foreign policy decisions and he's not just to spain and italy also greece imports lots of oil from from europe from iran it could be hard hit in
3:16 pm
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 the political move. european union actually had a very good relationship into the economy and trade with iran it was. in the last twenty years the connection of that has been lost after the iranian revolution and the situation was improving until we came to the new tension that has been in my view to a great extent artificially created. on the first anniversary of the sting of former president hosni mubarak egypt's activists have 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 will transfer power in june when the presidential elections a shuttle that many people fear they will remain in power beyond the state based journalist bill true says egyptians have every right not to trust the military.
3:17 pm
people are unsure about whether they actually transfer power in jean and so far the military 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 people expressing their freedom of speech and we've seeing excessive use of tear gas and cartouche they call it here which is birdshot and maiming protesters has been absolutely no reform of the police. provide by the football disaster a few weeks ago which saw over seventy four people die so essentially we've seen very little reform since the barak stepped down and people are basically anxious that nothing will change and it will just slip into a new new dictatorship i think most people here would say or do you say when 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 that.
