board just for the opposition there is also the so-called saudi arabia draft resolution which may be discussed at the u.n. general assembly in new york on monday and there are reports that this resolution isn't that much different from the draft resolution which the u.n. security council was trying to buy which was also vetoed by russia and china earlier this month syrian opposition fighters have received really strong support not just from the arab league members but also from some of the more an expected sources for example from al qaida and some intelligence from iraqi officials suggest that in fact al qaeda militants are fighting alongside armed rebels in syria of course you have to remember also the increasing pressure from washington d.c. just recently the u.s. state department has published photographs those photographs show the artillery and tanks situated in the syria what exactly those photos were supposed to prove is not quite clear as most people by now we have seen actual pictures and images.

on the ground of course we have to think back to these so-called friends of syria which isn't quite completely formed coalition but it's a sort of an alliance of several countries including the arab league states who are being strongly supported by the united states and france and u.k. who are going to be meeting in tunisia later this month in order to discuss the further actions that they should be taking in regards to syria of course moscow stands on the matter continues to be. leaving it up to the syrian people to decide what they want to do with their own country who is assistant dads all sides involved in the conflict should lay down their arms and resolve this issue of violence peacefully. the author and journalist in return so you think so u.s. and north korea could end up fighting side by side in syria to safeguard common interests once again the united states and european union states as usual support or go as they did. afghanistan prior to nine eleven will they never learn it is

shocking to hear american statesman like john mccain calling for intervention presumably u.s. troops and al qaeda side by side fighting against president assad of syria this really shows up what exactly the americans are up to they are not protecting the interests of u.s. citizens and more european union leaders our very statement to back any armed attacks we saw with lethal consequence in aleppo twenty eight dead in december forty four dead in damascus this is this is getting out of hand this is getting dangerous. while the u.s. has continued its calls for regime change saying it's only a matter of time before that assad government collapses and as history shows washington may find a way around the barriers including the u.n. if it decides to push through its agenda on syria. what's in a mandate having failed to reach international consensus on syria it's been

a complete waste of time washington prepares to act around the u. way for the time being the administration firmly rules out any form of u.s. military intervention in syria but the pentagon is busy filling out an attack strategy on syria just in case should the president call for action experts say history shows the absence of international consensus would not be an obstacle to washington if it decides to go ahead with intervention the united states sees the u.n. as a tool of convenience if the u.n. is supple and going along with the united states then the united states is fine to have a u.n. sanction for its actions but when the u.n. and the people of the world or the countries of the world resist then the united states says the u.n. is unwilling to do its job and then uses other instruments like nato or other military arrangements they did that in the case of yugoslavia they did that in the case of the iraq war whenever the u.n. doesn't go along the u.s.

then says well to heck with you one will use some other instrument for the exercise of american power last year the u.n. security council authorize nato to protect civilians in libya but the mission resulted in regime change the libyan authorization of force was very specific and it didn't authorize regime change in the countries that partook in their operation clue you know except for exceeded the u.n. mandate and that operation i think that symbolic of the fact that these libya that these u.n. mandates really are meaningful in the terms of international law and that's just the reality of it nato countries have flooded libyan rebels with weapons despite a u.n. arms embargo u.s. government wants the u. one but they want the u.n. to do the u.s. bidding way in the united states uses the united nations in regard to be israeli post in question is very emblematic when the united nations passed resolutions which it has done repeatedly demanding that the israelis get out of the west bank and earlier gaza and earlier this summer. the united states didn't enforce those

resolutions they didn't demand that they be enforced when it came to the united nations saying the palestinians have a right to be recognized as a united states acted as if there was a crime against humanity that the united nations there take up the issue of palestinian rights we can see here a manipulation of the united nations when it does what the united states wants fine but when it stands with the palestinian people which it has repeatedly over and over again then the united states government republican or democrat following a way to condemn the united nations. the u.s. also did not support the resolution on syria put forward by russia which would call for all sides in the conflict to stop the violence and to start a dialogue instead he chose to take sides in a civil war. one might describe the u.s. attitude towards the u.n. as use it if needed go around it if you don't like it but while an almost carte

approach to the world body might suit washington it makes for a bad recipe for ability i'm going to check on reporting from washington r.t. well more in-depth discussion on the standoff in syria coming up next our investigative journalist so when stanley he says there's no unity in the opposition and that calls for military intervention on supported by the facts here's a taste of that interview. although both sides deny differences in military intervention essentially in political differences there is different trends in the syrian opposition mainly between people who support outside intervention and the protest. so you've got groups like the syrian national council which are now openly in favor of a no fly zone which to me seems ridiculous because there isn't any even claim that the syrian regime for all its many crimes there's no crimes that is people so no fly zone just seems a political pretext very. precedent

and humiliating some out of greece's sovereignty and future that's if you greek protesters off the approval of a massive new austerity package that was passed running battles all through the capital dozens of buildings are going to watch. out of three hundred at least one hundred ninety nine but. those who go through to their parties those thirty measures will demanded by greece's international creditors turn for a second one hundred thirty billion euro bailout things the cash to pay off the interest on its debts to keep its rapidly shrinking economy from defaulting. as a freelance journalist in athens. the greek lawmakers finally passed this thirty package it was a crucial vote always have seen violence hard to violence in the streets of boston it was the worst day since the violence we had the in two thousand and eight we

have seen now i guess young people who did who did the youth breaking marbles all know throwing molotov cocktails same then they're policemen. throwing tear gas is we have seen fires all in the streets are around the scene that must wear on greek parliament they have also. many many stores around around the streets and these. include even the lowering the minimum wage by twenty percent this is very hard because the net wade said. that to somebody will receive it's four hundred euros and unemployment i mean come on being much higher than that twenty percent so people say that they will not stay at home they will continue to react they will continue to demonstrate on the

other hand people are really angry and we expect more violence will germany's finance minister will has declared that promise is on to nothing more saying that greece must implement reforms to prove it's not a bottomless pit but patrick young from investment consultants t.v. advisors says whatever happens in greece this new saving it from a collapse will be felt across europe. in every possible respect greek greece is not a tragedy and it is due and the reason for that is simply because the reason no way that they are going to be able to implement whatever austerity they're talking a fight against such a backlash of public opinion whatever happens there the problem for the rest of the euro zone is that not only we have to basically be prepared to defend the whole integrity of the euro and actually if you read what's been said behind the behind closed doors you can see there's a spirit that you know what we may have to do three so we may even have to end up

ditching portugal from the euro zone but we're we have to defend now it is italy and that's really going to fall on the shoulders of the technocrat mario monti and this is going to be act how to close make a bent during the course of at the latest april does the euro survive at the moment i think probably a shrunken euro it's sixty forty it can do but ultimately we're going to see swinge in recession even worse of the recession read out of we've already been receiving through why do european union and that's bad for everybody in the world ultimately within the next maybe it weeks greece is going to be forced to default and that's going to be quite cataclysmic but artie's cross-talk program also focuses on greece's financial predicament coming your way i turn thirty g.m.t. the hidden costs of the bailout rescue. the change is clear in germany you give me the cash to survive given my debt problem i'll give you my sovereignty but will the public actually comply will they agree to accept the pain of this austerity and

will their greatest men the most important sovereign aspect which is your first school your budget to technocrats in brussels that are not answerable to your population through. they're not managing the greek economy there's nothing and that's i might's i might be provocative here but that's all there is be that as if you're even allowed to monitor the front. lines assess the country's education system examine its health care and they the foundations for new housing policies now in his latest prediction manifesto that he may putin lays out his plans for social reform in russia the article titled building justice because it's on providing better living conditions for russians most vulnerable people putting outlines plans to raise salaries for teachers and doctors to increase pensions and welfare handouts for families to more children

he's also vowed to solve the country's most important supplies twenty thirty political analysts from overseas since putin's promises are aimed at russians drafty middle class. my whole point is that putin now understands that he's electorate right now it's not reach you know reach c.t. people he's electorate is the real russian middle class you know people believe in small towns who are really hard to adapt to the market economy c.d.'s so i hope he is economic policy will lead to more to the left you know we have a former finance minister couldn't we have that definite fuel to the right now if we believe what we can writes he wants to gear the states more to use real electorate which means you know the masa of the russian people. well you can head over to auntie dot com for the latest updates comments and videos as well as the

compared to the previous week when there was very little of the data hitting the market this in a week is going to be very busy and i think they respond to time remains high so we will a likely see market money high in the russian market will take cues not only from the global markets but also from the commodities market and there we have observed quite a lot of strength sell with the past several weeks and i don't expect that. to and . isn't concerns of a global growth have made many investors turn again to emerging economies and russia is among the apparent by the fisheries capital flow into the country to reach the mark of one billion dollars in early february and analysts expected to strengthen after the presidential elections in march and may add that most russian stocks are currently at the lowest level in three years and that of course follows last year's impressive capital outflow of over eighty four billion dollars. and
