reprised and arrested by the government told me i'm up letting out of the family i . got there on the military trucks smashed the gates and entered the monastery they beat up everyone and destroyed everything they tied up the monks they kicked anyone who looked up. for you know that you know they made the monks crawl to the trucks they beat them from behind until they vomited blood. regardless of our lives we protest we protest for freedom. it's always the what the regime is doing is very unjust getting students and monks in jail as political prisoners. monks were and continue to be tortured and. sit on us military dictatorships never

care about the people you do it to us and. the way they control and subjugate with fear of the law don't be i'm a teacher. laugh. that was. last. seen. as monks we don't take up arms and nick that we don't start and revolutions that would oh yeah i know no more. than making the political situation would not benefit from on revolution. i would say that the

protest wasn't successful because many were killed. in the past no one knew that the dictator tortured bait and arrested people need upolu the moment we are but we know these are you can do no good word on. who we are will suffer in the revolution showed the world the cruelty of his regime of our you need to know yes that is what all of this is one tangible victory of. your government. the notion of what we do as people all around the world have huge consequences. to the extraordinary implode will mobilizations of february fifteenth two thousand

and three when the world said no to war there were somewhere between twelve and fourteen million people in the streets that day all with the same slogan the world says no two in a hundred different languages it was an amazing outpouring was something that the guinness book of world records said it was the largest outpouring of humanity on one issue in the history of the world might not and should face later the new york times wrote there are once again two superpowers in the world the united states global public opinion that was huge we fail to soften your. but it did me in that when the war happened no one could deny that it was illegal this wasn't a situation where the us had been able to bribe and threaten enough countries of the un that the un gave them permission. might be important and it can. be. done. a. bit like.

the. pentagon plane own in your view dives to such. great times a common goal. and so we're trying to realistically as possible present this world as it could be so people can see what it's like. if you start to work towards it and know we have to push to make things actually help. you. the strike you have to demonstrate you have to go sit in the bar some of those offices if they don't do what you want if you do all kinds of things to make you think straight and the best outcome would be one. that needs to be different. and that should be because the.

people. at the top of the. well we need to do is go back to take our lead not from a political party or a politician. but take our leave some people struggle cross the floor have the audacity to say no. because then we must raise our voice says so much the only thing left is to fight to fight to fight. cut. please.

the latest news and of the week's top stories on our team iran stopped oil sales to british and french companies to head off sanctions aimed at curbing tehran's atomic program. the un general assembly voted to condemn of the assad regime for the violence in syria while russia and china continue their efforts to broker peace through negotiations. and the greek prime minister flies to brussels for last minute bailout talks as thousands take to the streets of athens to express their anger over fresh austerity measures.

and broadcasting live from our studios in central moscow this is r.t. this is a recap of your week's top stories and your top headlines iran has to cut its crude oil supplies to french and british firms it is a move seen by many as retaliate for the e.u. decision to impose sanctions on the country the e.u. says the ban was it needed to force iran to resume talks over its atomic program meanwhile a team of u.n. nuclear inspectors is on its way to the country the second such visit within a month earlier the european commission claimed that the block has enough oil reserves to last for around one hundred twenty days saudi arabia has also stepped in by saying it is prepared to supply extra oil if needed but some experts fear that this move nonetheless will have a negative impact on already struggling european economies historian webster tarpley says iran is imposing its own oil embargo to show that it won't be bullied

. economic sanctions are a game that two can play and turnabout is fair play in international affairs the european commission and the relevant powers have been making a big noise over the past couple of weeks about how they are going to embargo and boycott all iranian oil starting on july first well it's pretty obvious the iranians decided not to wait around until july first they've decided to to impose their own embargo boycott on the offending powers and they're starting with the the two biggest imperialist bullies on the schoolyard the british and the french who are now so weak that they can only act together they are a kind of imperialist bicycle built for two they haven't had time to carefully arrange the fallback options and the alternative sources of oil so this is a little bit of a surprise to them the iranians have been under sanctions for thirty years when i

was in iran you see a lot of prosperity a lot of economic activity there had been a shock in january as a result of the very stringent sort of secondary boycott sanctions that the u.s. had put in but the iranians will tell you they have lived under u.s. sanctions for thirty years they know how to survive in such a situation i didn't see any evidence of hardships at all peoples that that certain key prices had gone up the bigger issue i think is the slide towards war and i this we have to take very seriously what we're seeing now with the reckless and irresponsible statements of the israeli leaders these feckless americans who are sort of been chime in is a region sliding towards war and that would be then i think possibly a general war preventing iran from getting nuclear weapons isn't the real driving force for the u.s. and its allies this is according to anti-war activist brian becker. the

united states government has created an artificial crisis that's first and foremost it's a manufactured crisis iran is complying with the i.a.e.a. iran does not have a nuclear weapon iran is not threaten its neighbors iran has not started a war with any of its neighbors israel on the other hand has hundreds of nuclear weapons and unlike iran refuses to sign the nuclear nonproliferation treaty does not allow. specters into its country so there's not really a nuclear menace or a nuclear danger from iran so what is the cause of the artificial crisis the real goal is the united states government has embarked on a course of extreme economic aggression against iran with the hope that by creating economic suffering economic isolation economic misery that part of the population will rise up or become disenfranchised with the government so that the u.s. can do as it has in history carry out regime change.

of course you can see that full interview in about twenty minutes time right here on our team. the u.n. general assembly has adopted a non binding resolution this week calling on syria's president assad to step down russia was among the twelve states who voted against of the motion saying it fails to deal with the armed opposition meanwhile damascus is vowing to implement major reforms amid reports of intensifying violence artie's marouf notion is in syria. this is usually in syria maine's volatile with tensions between security forces and the armed opposition groups continue in claiming lives of both mildred and civilians almost every day on thursday we attended the funerals of a young boy who was gunned down early here in damascus during the n.t. government protest and the procession itself eventually turned into a hostile to a straight in the clashes that followed and that continued the next day five people

were killed and many others injured one violence one day causes even more violence next and so on and so on we also can see political murders as well this week shake of one of the most of damascus was assisted native apparently because of his pronouncements to shake came out with strong condemnation of the terror groups of the armed groups he blamed for the bloodshed calling for or to stop the violence to stop the bloodshed we're also hearing about hostilities in other parts of the country reports from opposition activists that in the city of homs many people die every day in the city of hama they've been several explosions all pipeline in the midst of balance these tensions all across syria syria reforms. to go in this week the date for the national referendum on the country's new constitution was announced the vote is expected to take place next sunday as far as the ministry of internal affairs of syria has said around fifteen million people in syria today

have the right to vote this new constitution was drafted. and the monopoly of the ruling party the vast party here in syria had been in power for the last fifty years but people on the ground are actually fearing that this referendum and this new constitution it's too little and too late this week the chinese delegation visited syria both russia and china are calling for the dialogue to be restored between the syrian opposition and the authorities. saying that this is the only way out of this crisis. artie's more international reporting for us there now middle east blogger karl rove says nato states are only escalating the situation in syria supporting the fragmented opposition assume assad were to step down tomorrow who is actually the legitimate in this intimate political opposition to take control and when the west talks about supporting or the gulf states this

side or the outside one actually the group so you would go to and finance or give some or two so within the vacuum who would step in you would have people returning from iraq that has kind of the weapons or the experience and i think what we really need to be aware of is this highly erratic nature of western policy in particular u.s. policy towards all the countries in the region but particularly now towards syria that is kind of becoming provocative the west really needs to step back and try to cool things down before the escalate out of control. james corbet middle east expert and a journalist says the peacekeeping initiative for syria put forward by the arab league could easily be hijacked by states interested in regime change. given the the disgrace full conduct of un peacekeepers everywhere from haiti to the ivory coast to the congo and many other countries besides i think the syrian people should certainly hope that peacekeeping mission doesn't come about and i think one

would have to see it really as as nothing more than a ploy to to involve the united nations in what is essentially at this point a civil war and and once the situation spun out of control as it probably inevitably would given the peacekeeping mandate of a force that would have no new ability to defend itself in the face of that violence the only sensible option at that point would be to send in foreign troops which i think is the really the end game in gambit that's going on in the strategy in the first place this is once again very much a copycat of the the libyan situation that we thought last year with confirmed acts al qaeda fighters being part of the libyan opposition that the u.s. was openly supporting although one would certainly hope that some some enterprising u.s. citizen would take the department of homeland security up on there see something say something campaign and actually report to the u.s. administration for their material support for terrorist organizations perhaps some of the u.s. officials who have been materially supporting the terrorist organizations in the syrian opposition could be thrown behind bars for this. coming up in the next few

minutes pro-democracy anniversary in another war scarred country. fireworks replaces gunshots in libya as the country marks the first anniversary of the start of the uprising that toppled gadhafi but armed to the teeth militias continue to cast a shadow over the country's future. greece's prime minister lucas papademos has flown to brussels for a last minute talks to secure a vital one hundred thirty billion euro bailout for his country this comes as frustrated greeks have once again taken to the streets of central athens to express their anger over fresh austerity measures protestors have stayed outside of the parliament throughout the day with some scuffles with police reported greece's cabinet has passed a final set of massive cuts called for by your creditors in return for a one hundred thirty billion euro bailout the deal could now be cleared as soon as monday with eurozone finance ministers meeting in brussels to discuss the future of

greece. investment advisor patrick young says secure in the next bailout means total loss of sovereignty for the country. what we have here is basically that great scene in the hollywood adventure movie where someone has tripped and fallen over the edge of the cliff and he's being held onto by one armed by the person who we're not sure whether he's the goody or the bad data is he gonna let them go and let them fall to a terrible death or is he going to hang on to them and gradually bring them up and that's where we are with three so in the european union because actually what is being said behind closed doors and even to a degree in public is we've got some of those guys short of learning the german finance minister basically saying he doesn't trust the greeks to manage to hold up to the agreements that they've made and tragically the greens track record of actually doing their bit in terms of what they're supposed to do in the past has been a huge fail so therefore we now have

a situation where the greeks have said we'll do anything you want whatever you want we'll do it personally i think what's going to happen is that the finance ministers will probably agree to give greece some money and greece is going to find itself in a dreadful situation where like a nine year old child every friday it's going to have to go to daddy say it's done untold work so it's been a good boy and overall can actually see how the next two weeks pocket money in order to pay it civil servants and that's a horrible loss of sovereignty. cuts needed to secure the bailout for greece triggered violent protests on the streets throughout the week and the anger of the people who are suffering the most from the implemented austerity measures is not going anywhere as greece reports. the system on the seach m.p.'s drowned out the pleas of tens of thousands of demonstrators amassed within a short passing another round of unpopular cuts. the results proved incendiary

. that uganda protests turned violent as protesters including fringe and the kids clashed with police again leaving their mark on athens. the day on this is the remnants of public anger but glass isn't the only thing that's been broken as governments past increasingly unpopular austerity cuts could be left asking who can they trust serve their interests the measures are very very tough part of the poor people especially and this is the reason that we feel. today i think more measures have been taken and it's not going to work in the end it will be another bill. and. oh i hope for the best but i don't see it coming. under pressure from brussels berlin and the international monetary fund the greek government has cut more jobs

slash funding for the nation's pensions a minimum wage but current policy appears to mainly expose those most vulnerable to crisis conditions is a mindset some feel is doomed to fail and they already have destroyed the whole generation of young people and their dreams destroyed the structure of the sabian infrastructure of the whole country we know that did this impossible to repay this debt that we have now signs that these illegal or all do this. we cannot continue like that because the policy that the government is following actually increases the day instead of finding a solution but the heart of activists claims is their search and they've known austerity for the best part of five years now and that time taxes have risen incomes have full but the country's deficit only seems to grow and in this austerity cycle is something sought by an increasing number despite the turmoil the

government warns will follow but what is a bad about our political system is that they have the right exactly the date even more. by these third. they are going to come the only way out for this point is the default default is going to be very tough for us but there's going to be a better solution than this slow death for now relative calm has returned to the streets of athens smashed buildings have been patched up signs of damage swept away by the simmering discontent hasn't been and was forced medicine appears to bring nothing but pain many are continuing their call for terms of treatment jake agrees athens austerity measures have also hit spain where tens of thousands of people have taken their anger against the government's labor reforms to the streets trade unions have organized gatherings in fifty seven cities across the country with the

largest rally taking place in madrid protesters say reforms are unfair to workers and would destroy jobs the changes make it easier to adjust employees and schedules and wages and have staff fired sprains unemployment has tripled the sense of two thousand and seven and almost half of people under twenty five are out of work. well this week libyans have been celebrating the first anniversary of the uprising that led to the toppling of colonel gadhafi the united states congratulated the people while urging the libyan government to protect civil rights amnesty international has been reporting that khadafi supporters have been subjected to abuse and torture this has concerns grow that libya's armed militias are still roaming the country unchecked shirazi manji who's editor in chief of the pan african social justice network told r.t. the situation now is much worse than it was during the colonel's regime. ever since the nature we vary of libya. as being. gross

human rights violations it's not just torture there is. indiscriminate killings there are extra judicial killings there's summary execution leave them coto gadhafi. members is found to have been some really executed nobody has been through to justice all the huge amount of sort of being poured in the by problems by the europeans by the americans at. this place is going to send it to into. the ball civil war this situation not only that sense is worse than it was under the the rule of code of gadhafi. well it's been a year since the beginning of a pro-democracy uprising in bahrain the demands from a mainly shiite crowd are simple democracy no religious discrimination and freedom of expression but the country's.
