raising fears of an even bigger crisis. as the syrian conflict stretches out in time it has also spread geographically i case of the uprising belt far from the country's borders what's happening in syria is far greater. than what you've seen as the international community mobilize against the assad regime strategic analyst dr salinas says one thing is clear though it's certainly gone far beyond the words of sympathy and they called in to those on the ground in syria that mobilisation has many more forms than officially stated. during the operation in baba amr the syrian army arrested fighters from gulf countries in afghanistan iraq libya and some european states their work was coordinated by kotori and saudi intelligence officers as well as cia mossad and blackwater agents but it's also sees israeli weapons especially in take change 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 al qaeda linked extremists groups fighting alongside the armed opposition in syria dr salinas says some countries are using those groups to further their own interests. to get local players involved in order to hide their involvement this is why we hear mostly arabs like saudi arabia and qatar or iraq these countries don't have democracy at home of course they cannot ask for establishing in syria they have another agenda. there are books and written sources where this plan is described in detail decades ago and had of course never blogger and freelance journalist has been investigated for an important and 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 then you really believe the saudis this is comparable to what happened in the civil war in lebanon there were plenty of money then you'll find that they're going to talk about hundreds of dollars or something nobody would get in so. now you would see now this is the beginning of a war here in studio with more and more reports on international involvement emerging and cost to arm the opposition getting louder even for those at the grassroots for the uprising the initial euphoria is turning the turn. i can say we regret what we did but we don't want things to go back to a turn so much militarized globalized and violence we never wanted and don't want intervention now but fears are abdulaziz says that this could be too late to

stop this old fire and flames of conflict for a fraction r t damascus syria. publisher of trans journal gerald solenn today says washington my pick are contemplating a military operation because bringing down the syrian regime would weaken iran. when you hear war hawks like senators lindsey graham and john mccain calling for bombs away and again go back and play over you see the same scenario their heads come in and they say we have to be we need and we have to use diplomacy in the meanwhile they're building up for the military conflict 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 ron and it's only now war i syria is on the ropes we have to quiet it down a little bit. syria has also been and focus on the u.n. security council where russia accused libya of training the syrian militia currently fighting government forces and was part of a broader discussion of the situation in the arab countries with moscow also demanding nato apologize for causing civilian casualties g.'s during last year's air raids in libya artie's merino port nine has been following the 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 way the officials have refused so far to further investigate the fates how these or the casualties that this report was referring to another russian passenger to the united nations vitaly churkin also went on to say that water has not yet been established nearly or more than a year after nato carried out its airstrikes to allegedly bring on more peace a peaceful and secure circumstance to libya the situation is still very dangerous when you know what i was going to do when we have expressed concern about gun control proliferation of libyan arms in the region however it is not just the workmen's 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 to attack the legal government but this is completely unacceptable according

to polls legal basis this is too pretty undermines disability in the middle east we think that al qaeda is in syria and therefore there is an issue as transporting the revolution now turning into transporting terrorism in the aftermath of what happened in libya one year later the situation on the ground many critics say is not safe for a bike by any means. still ahead for you in the program a closer look at life in libya. we explore what women in the country were hoping to gain from the revolution and whether they are happy with the outcome. they are there to solve the case pressing problems but it seems m.p.'s need some help to a recent arrest of a labor m.p. after a late night brawl in the house of commons bar is just the latest in a string of alcohol fuelled scandals artie's laura smith reports on how some parliamentarians are said to be drinking their way through life that westminster.

seen that at least one time it was very funny but i'm not sure right how professional it was given the parliamentary state there are nine separate boards for the use of the people who work here and take us the most notorious among them is the stranger's bar where m.p.'s from rival parties often clashed so much drunken revelry goes on there that it's said 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 sarah wool is still an m.p. and d. 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

western officials suspect nuclear work is underway all this comes against the backdrop of heightened tensions between iran and israel with televisa of signaling it won't wait much longer for diplomacy and sanctions to work. the only thing we know for sure. is working on nuclear technology for peaceful purposes and everything. just assumptions or to put it another way it's accusations from major israeli and u.s. officials it seems to be some kind of theater that israeli and american officials are playing because obama seems to try to convince. diplomacy would be the better way but in fact the. soft power that he is using to meddle into. they probably

will not succeed not with the economic sanctions because although they will. still countries like china india we've in japan and south korea and others who are still important so probably. the american administration will. provide everything. of course support that. party has also discussed the likelihood of an attack on iran's nuclear facility with the country's deputy foreign minister you can watch his interview next hour. whether structure in the u.s. said to be crumbling critics say strict regulations and political bickering in washington is perth and think domestic firms from facts on the streets and as our own galindo explains chinese companies are now ready to cash in on america.

risk construction it's increasingly likely that we see china and other foreign investors face you know 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 that 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 throughout 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 think president reagan is probably rolling over in his grave somewhere. and it's uncomfortable a lot of people figure america is the you know and all be all you know so fast what is that it will create more jobs i mean potentially but where would the stuff isn't so much that. it's about. chinese firms are already working on huge bridge projects

in california new york and alaska political leaders defended the contracts claiming chinese companies would be more efficient but they have spared criticism over china's work conditions and the devaluation of their currency we can't compete with that now because they're better engineers or because we don't know how to manufacture but because it's not a level playing field we need to get off the plane here in the u.s. some blame excessive environmental regulations and political bickering in d.c. for our inability to invest more in infrastructure an investment many see as a key to economic recovery and keeping the us competitive and what it seems the chinese are willing to make a los angeles in the r.t.e. . don't forget you can always long and hard too dot com for more news and comment on line for you right now. and start spreading the news about misdeeds today

anonymous managed to temporarily take down the website of one of the largest anti-virus companies in the world and the security it comes after senior members of another hocking group were detained and charged with cyber crimes by the f.b.i. who is famous for attacking the websites of the cia fox news and credit card companies among others its leader is said to have been working for the u.s. government after being arrested last year and has since turned into his own colleagues political commentator luke samuel feels the government's heavy handed approach to the harker's is disproportionate. anonymous is a group that genuinely sees itself involved in a kind of cyber war where they play the part of the self-appointed protectors of internet liberty of course it's worth bearing in mind that the most this group of actually managed to achieve a shutting down master card for a couple of hours so this kind of jittery response on behalf of western governments is really an embarrassment 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 for a 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 that is a legitimate question to be asked about however nor needs to get involved if at all in these situations but the point is at the moment enormous and you know the arrest taken place just represent a kind of hysterical response there's no sort of there's no broader project behind what the western governments are doing in the situation it's kind of a knee jerk reaction with absolutely no content whatsoever. the latest arrests challenge the freedoms of the entire internet community and that's according to the human rights. i'm sure there will be a serious dispute. second how should we feel your actions as a creep clearly elections or arrest something that is there for the society as a whole there is no simple answer here but i think that they not only reflects

a very difficult it was in the society it is in poland we ceded to society wait for intuitive aleutian and wait for people to help them do their revolt against the old fashioned regimes including the media regimes while the other feel threatened by what is happening after due to do humanity of pressure to sign an agreement and then him out of caracas really became a big topic that we all should care about because the game is not over it has he stopped at the level of european union but it will come back next year after the you can come to justice gives each opinion and we all have to be very much aware of this process. now taking a look at some other news from around the world more than five hundred islamised activists took to the streets of istanbul angry over the burning of the koran at a u.s. military base in afghanistan some demonstrators bowed revenge over the disposal of the muslim holy books and set nato and american flags ablaze washington has

a sydney has seen its highest rainfall in five years. returning to one of our accounts stories now of the situation in libya and its post revolution struggles many women in the nation were hopeful the results would bring greater freedoms and than they had in the gadhafi era but as archie's axon a boy could discovered many are now 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 going to ghazi and two of her sisters were cleaning toilets in a building operated by the libya's national transitional council of and then. i am proud to have been actively involved in the revolutionary movement from the very beginning after forty two years of gadhafi regime i just couldn't stand it anymore i want to be part of that i'm open to any work i can count on the streets or the buildings i just want to be around people who are still early days have believed in

the revolution before the nato intervention and women were every bit as enthusiastic about the ag of liberation as there has been so brothers they volunteered in the kitchens of hospitals they took to the streets and social media sites they stood by to cause doing work the man who would end. they had of the levy and women's union says the arab spring was the single most important step toward gender equality in this largely patriarchal society women helped their revolution and they were pollution how they were several women in the new government 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 three bear 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 last minute session the topic libyan man a far more eager to discuss isn't the opals its side of the gender debate the

country's interim leader brought to power by the revolution has already promised to legalize polygamy and the guy the desert rats limited the number of wives to warn is against and it should be banned. the proposal is seen as an attempt to curry favor of all powerful militia and to encourage down settle back into peaceful life taking multiple wives takes a good income that groom expected to pay a dowry to every bride's family and provide each woman with a comfortable lifestyle you have the rebel seemed undeterred. i like julian's opinion about having not one wife for two or three i think this is right because sharia law says so at what seems to be giving most credence to the believe in me initiative is not so much who is for it but rather who was against it oh is this why credentials more margaret after was also a firm believer in the emancipation of women held not polygamy and leveled the

divorce playing field by giving women equal rights and mandated the quality of play and interviews benefits to encourage women to continue working after childbirth. unlike in other arab countries libyan has been sounded good after you were banned from restricting their wives inability to thousand and thinks what in a quarter of libyan women work. so much so that susan who moved to tripoli from england two decades ago after marrying a levy and says she never felt constrained here women's rights of changed over the last twenty three years family ration of 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 a little girl should be the one and only she asked us not to film her face just in case the groom's family doesn't like it kind of work of art see tripoli rally back
