america's involvement in syria is not off the table u.s. military officials are reviewing their options ok so therefore that's a guy summation of thing fails. criticizes nato the u.n. security council refusing to put investigate civilian deaths to air raids in libya last year expresses outrage at training camps for syrian revolution is discovered in libya plus. a member of parliament might go into the bar and have a few drinks instead of having dinner. in the morning they thought it was a good idea to go into the house of commons and try and take part in the debate.

whining on in parliament u.k. m.p.'s are on the path to being under the influence even casting important votes. you're watching a lot here very warm welcome to. now the white house may be claiming it wants a diplomatic solution in syria but it seems it may not have faith in its own convictions the pentagon has been ordered to review its potential options to officials he's all for sort of a no fly zone in the military and it's. also a long term sustained campaign and would pose a challenge because serious air defenses are sophisticated in libya's times when for national reports growing foreign interference in the syrian conflict is raising fears of an even bigger crisis. as the syrian conflict stress she sounds time

has also spread geographically i case the prize it felt far from the country's borders what's happening in syria is heartbreaking. and what you've seen is the international community mobilize against the assad regime strategic analyst says one thing is clear though it's certainly gone far beyond the words of sympathy and the call to those on the ground in syria that mobilisation has many more than officially stated. during the operation of the syrian army arrest the fighters from gulf countries and afghanistan iraq and some european states where their work was coordinated by qatar and saudi intelligence officers as well as ca messiah and blackwater it was also seized there's a really special antitank missiles and israeli drones the us defense contractor formerly known as blackwater and now called academy was notorious for its heavy

handed tactics during operations in iraq and pakistan while the us and many other countries have admitted our kind of link to extremist groups fighting alongside beyond our position in syria dr salim says some countries are using those groups to further their own interests. and if they get local players involved in order to hide their involvement this is why we hear mostly arabs like saudi arabia and qatar or iraq you know these countries don't have democracy at home of course they cannot ask. sheria they have another agenda. there are books and written sources where this plan is described in detail decades ago and how the courts never blogger and freelance journalist has been investigated for involvement in serious crisis since last year she says this is a story with three main chapters weapons smuggled across the border overseas contractors and foreign cash when you see

a lot of money in syria i believe that this is comparable to what happened in the civil war. there were plenty of money then you will find not the governor. about hundreds of dollars or something nobody would kill him so could have both of them now would you would see now this is a gift of a war here in syria with more and more recruits on international involvement in urging and calls to arm the opposition and louder people put those at the grassroots of the uprising the initial euphoria is turning peter. i can see we regret what we did but we didn't want things to go that far but it turned so much militarized globalized and go and we never wanted and don't want intervention now but fears are after lizzie's says that it could be too late to stop this all to far in the flames of conflict. an option r t damascus syria.

publisher of the trends journal says washington might be contemplating a military operation because down the syrian regime would weaken iran when you hear war hawks like senators lindsey graham and john mccain calling for blogs away and again go back and play over you see the same scenario their heads come in and they say we have to be calm we need and we have to use diplomacy in the meanwhile they're building up the military conflict and you heard president obama say at the height of the iranian incident with netanyahu that he said you know that at this time when there is not a lot of sympathy for iran and it's only now why syria is on the

ropes we have to quiet it down a little bit. syria has also been in the un security council russia accused libya of training the syrian militia currently fighting government forces and it's part of a broader discussion of the situation in arab countries also demanding they apologize for causing civilian casualties during last year's air raids in libya. has been running a meeting in new york. a new report that was quietly released by the united nations on friday that report was an investigation that found in part that nato has not sufficiently investigated the air raids it conducted on libya in two thousand and eleven that killed at least sixty civilians and injured at least fifty five more people despite the findings of this two hundred twenty page report nato officials have refused so far to further investigate the fates how these or the

casualties that this report was referring to now the russians asked her to the united nations batali churkin also went on to say that water has not yet been established nearly or more than a year after a nato carried out its airstrikes to allegedly bring on more of he's a peaceful and secure circumstance to libya this situation is still very dangerous and what we have expressed concern about gun control proliferation of libyan arms in the region however it is not just the weapons that are going abroad we have received information that in libya with the support from their authorities there is a special training center for the syrian revolutionaries and the people are sent to syria so it's hard to legal government this is completely unacceptable according to old legal basis this is too pretty undermines the stability in the middle east we're seeing that al qaeda is in syria and therefore there is an issue of this

transporting the revolution now turning into transporting of terrorism in the aftermath of what happened in libya one year later the situation on the ground many critics say is not safer by any means. well still ahead a closer look at life in post gadhafi in libya we explore what women in the country to gain from the revolution whether they're happy with the outcome. there they saw the u.k.'s pressing problems it seems and please need some help to the recent arrest of a labor m.p. after they brought in a house of commons this is the latest in a string of alcohol fueled scandals auntie's reports on how some parliamentarians are said to be drinking their way through life mr. actually yes i behavior by members of parliament now not an un common sight on our t.v.'s ever

since the late eighty's when cameras were allowed inside but are they trying on power or simply drunk we have heard about stories of employees that you bring physically carry through the voting lobbies which. mind boggles you would have probably any other. job where you just get that drunk work not just sacks thirteen year parliamentary veteran lembit opec has seen the seedier underbelly of life in a house of commons where m.p.'s have been known to boot on matters of national and international importance under the influence a member of parliament might go into the bar and have a few drinks instead of having dinner by one or two o'clock in the morning they thought it was a good idea to go into the house of commons and try and take part in the debate i assume that at least one time it was very funny but i'm not sure quite how professional it was given the parliamentary state there are nine separate parts for the use of the people who work here and i guess the most notorious among them is

the stranger's car where one piece can rival parties often clash so much drunken revelry goes on there that it's they used to be a little arrow nailed about fifteen centimeters from the floor which indicated the exits to those who were crawling out on their hands and knees outside the rarefied atmosphere of westminster in towns and cities around the u.k. binge drinking is a huge problem inside it seems is no different last year's sero will assist an m.p. and di said some parliamentarians are too drunk to stand up in debates and have no idea what they're voting for tory m.p. mark reckless admits he was too drunk to vote on the two thousand and ten budget and insists he doesn't remember pulling over and m.p. . we pulled fairly admitted wrestling in newspapers near a parliament bar although he maintains he wasn't drunk recently m.p.

eric joyce has been charged with assault following a late night punch up in a parliament bar and all that thing is subsidized by the taxpayer. it's about stripping quid first remember the public servant. why should probably be subsidising the. peace defender culture as part of the job high pressure long stretches away from home i was a long people spend lot of time together on the building is old fashioned doesn't mean you have to drink a lot but i guess that was part of the club atmosphere probably still is. the taxpayer wondering whether this is an appeal for calm or atrix requests tourists may party. i. well you're watching r t live from moscow still ahead in the program washington's pace is. a strict domestic regulations the way for

chinese firms to cash in on america's crumbling infrastructure. and cyber crackdown the report on the response to the multiple arrests of. iran has warned that are coming nuclear talks with world powers will. pressure. the policy of planning is not the way to win concessions or its nuclear activities which it insists are entirely peaceful. came. face to face negotiations with iran. would let inspectors visit a key military facility in western. workers on the way all of this comes against the backdrop of heightened tensions between iran and israel. signaling much longer for diplomacy and sanctions to work. the only thing we know for sure i would say.

is working on nuclear technology for peaceful purposes and everything else are just some trends or to put it in other words accusations from. israeli and u.s. officials it seems to be some kind of theater of the israeli and american officials are playing because obama seems to try to convince. the world. but in fact obama's soft power that he is using to meddle into iranian iran's interior affairs they probably will not succeed not with economic sanctions because although they will. still countries like china india you can draw upon and south korea and others who are still importing iranian oil so probably. the american administration

will say well we tried everything israel. course supported and. well r.t. has also discussed the likelihood attack on iran's nuclear facility with the country's deputy foreign minister you can watch a city next. with infrastructure in the u.s. said to be crumbling critics say strict regulations and political bickering in washington is preventing to mystic firms from fixing the streets and as artie's rather than do explains chinese companies are now willing to cash in america's rocky roads. los angeles has rolled out the red carpet for the man who is likely the future leader of china by stressing g. jean king took a tour of the china shipping terminal where the company just completed a forty seven million dollar expansion at the port of los angeles more than one hundred twenty billion dollars of chinese goods pass through here just last year

but trade isn't the only item on the agenda l.a. mayor antonio via right goes is also hoping that the chinese and best in the city's infrastructure including public transportation and ports we used to be number one in infrastructure spending and the quality of or our infrastructure and now we're down to number thirty two three hundred by plato is widespread behind lots of different countries where the infrastructure is crumbling chinese investment made and helped ease some of this l.a. traffic the mayors certainly hopes that it helps to bring jobs to the city as we see federal dollars become more scarce for projects such as road improvement and bridges construction it's increasingly likely there will be some kind of and other foreign investors fixing our infrastructure how do we sit back and watch china and europe big build the best bridges and high speed rail roads and gleaming new airports the white house has said infrastructure improvements are

a top priority but the u.s. lags behind europe and china when it comes to infrastructure investment yet ministration has said that chinese firms will play a role in financing infrastructure through out the u.s. while some welcome the foreign investors some people in los angeles we spoke to aren't so sure we should be so eager for chinese money i think president reagan is probably rolling over in his grave somewhere around. red states i'm comfortable a lot of people figure america is the you know and all bill you know so testimony is that it will create more jobs i mean potentially what we with this country isn't so much that so. chinese firms are already working on huge bridge projects a california new york and alaska political leaders defended the contracts claiming chinese companies would be more efficient but there has been criticism over china's work conditions and a deep valley we know their currency we can't compete with that now because they

are better engineers or because we don't know how to manufacture but because it's not a level playing field we need to get a level playing field here in the u.s. some blame excessive environmental regulations and political bickering in d.c. for our inability to invest more in infrastructure and investment many see as a key to economic recovery they keep in the u.s. competitive and what it seems the chinese are willing to make a los angeles ramon valley in the r.t.e. . i think i forget you can always log on to our t. dot com for more news and comment online for you right now it's not spreading the news about misdeeds today people in the west virginia rests on the some anything suspicious small it. costs the man who feels the truth about a multi-million dollar airport scan it's ok you can smoke virtually anything close to find out more on some of the.

nearly a billion people in the world are going hungry every day. in the united states even our trash cans are filled with food you just have to go get it all of these perfectly good eggs because one was cracked didn't even get all over the other ones just through all the way up and cheese from the german oh you've clearly my supper by. the dumpster at one am this morning three pm this afternoon on the grill. is made from and one dozen times egg whites. delicious breakfast for the family aches and toast for about a week every year in america we throw away ninety six billion pounds of food.

the hacker movement anonymous managed to temporarily take down the websites and largest antivirus companies in the world and the security comes after senior members of another group those sec but it tamed and charged with cyber crimes the f.b.i. . is famous for attacking the web sites on the. news and credit card companies its leader is working for the u.s.

government after being arrested last year since his colleagues commentator feels the government's heavy handed approach to the hackers is disproportionate anonymous is a group that genuinely sees itself involved in a kind of cyber war where they play the part of self-appointed protectors of internet liberty of course it's worth bearing in mind that the most this group actually managed to achieve a shutting down master card for a couple of hours i was so this kind of jittery response on behalf of western governments is really. it really does show that this is a set of governments that completely run out of ideas and the only real response they can come up with is using the law in this kind of all forward tarion way which in the end of the day is completely pointless it's not going to prevent these ideas from spreading around i think there's a legitimate question to be asked about how the law needs to get involved if at all in these situations but the point is that the moment anonymous and you know the arrest taking place just represent a kind of hysterical response there's no sort of there's no broader project behind

what the government doing in the situation it's kind of a knee jerk reaction with absolutely no content whatsoever. or the latest arrests challenge the freedoms of the entire internet community that's according to the human rights lawyer as you know many of which. i'm sure there will be a serious dispute. and how should we. as a critic could clearly criminal actions or arrest something that is for the society as a whole there weeds no simple answer here but i think that then i think reflects a very difficult to do it in a society that is in poland we ceded to society waits for interest in religion and waits for people to help them build their revolt against old fashioned regimes including the media regimes while the other feel threatened by what is happening after as you do you mount the pressure to sign that agreement and then he mumbled profits really came big topic that we all should care about because the game is not

over it has he stopped at the level of your opinion i think it will come back next year after the european company justice gives each opinion and we all have to be very much aware of this process. well look now at some other unease from around the world more than five hundred is a destructiveness took to the streets of istanbul angry of the burning of the koran the u.s. military base in afghanistan some demonstrators roger granules are disposed of those unhooks unsettling telling american flags ablaze washington has apologized for the statehood spot protests and the attacks on something to troops to afghanistan. tens of thousands of workers are marched in south africa against the vote totals the short term contracts with pay last friday's are going to start a congress of south african trade unions or took place in thirty two cities across the country unions fear the new system will have a negative impact on the poor and so the protests were in shock to the government.

one of our top stories now the situation in libya and its post revolution struggles many women in the nation were hopeful the revote would bring a greater freedoms than it had to be here because our t's are on a boycott discovered many and questioning whether what was achieved was worth the effort. it was a very special way to celebrate international women's day amal a university professor from gazi and two of her sisters were cleaning toilets in a building operated by believe is the national transitional council of and there were in fact i'm proud that i've been actively involved in the revolutionary movement from the very beginning after forty two years of gadhafi regime we just couldn't stand it anymore and want to be part of that i'm open to any work i can count the streets or the buildings i just want to be around people who are still

early days and believe been the revolution before the nature intervention and women were every bit as enthusiastic about their gear for liberation as there has been so brothers they volunteered in the kitchens in hospitals it is streets and social media sites they stood by the cause doing work demanded wouldn't. but how did they leave behind women's union says the arab spring was the single most important step toward gender equality in this largely a patriarchal society where women helped their revolution and the revolution helped them there were several women in the new government now and we need to hold on to these achievements we can give them back. this conference in violence against women attracted hundreds of delegates from across libya one of the issues discussed was whether air has been forcing himself upon his wife constituted rape if you man who were present kept quiet and some even laughed in session the tropical even then a far more eager to discuss isn't the opposite side of the gender debate because

interim leader brought to power by the revolution has already promised to legalize polygamy without the deserts the limited number of wives to warm is again and should be banned. the proposal is seen as an attempt to curry favor of it all powerful militia and to encourage down settled back into a peaceful life taking multiple wives takes a good income but it groom expected to pay a dollar into every bride's family and provide each woman with a comfortable lifestyle you have the rebel seemed undeterred. opinion about having not one wife but two or three i think this is right because sharia law says so but what seems to be giving most credence to the polygamy initiative is not so much was for it but rather who was against it all his despotic or themselves more market if it was also a firm believer in the mancipation of women here although polygamy and club will be

the worst playing field by giving women equal rights when they did the quality of play and interviews that efforts to encourage women to continue working after childbirth. unlike in other arab countries libyan has been under gadhafi were banned from restricting their wives and ability by two thousand and six more than a quarter of we've been women of work. so much so that susan who moved to tripoli from england she jakey to go after marrying a levy and says she never felt constrained here women's rights have changed over the last twenty three years family to asian a change they now encourage their daughters their wives to work to drive and to finish their education it is now her daughter's turn to get married and well susan firmly believes that her grown up little girl should be the one and only she asked us not to film her face just in case dickens family doesn't like it. or see.
