britain's drunk democracy m.p.'s come under fire for drinking too much but other geisha is that important votes are being cast while under the influence. there live from moscow to levon pm you're watching r t with me kevin oh in our top story leading us to france officials have admitted that president obama asked the pentagon to set a military options on syria but defense secretary leon panetta and general martin dempsey said the no fly zone similar to livia's would be a challenge that's because of the syrian army's higher competence and military capabilities u.s. lawmakers are also trying to push through a fresh bunch of financial sanctions now against syria at a calling for president assad to be referred for war crimes tribunal but experts

inside syria believe the more foreign powers intervene the more violent the crisis becomes as artie's maria for national reports now from damascus. as the syrian conflict stretches down to time it has also spread geographically i case of the uprising belt half of the country's borders what's happening in syria is. rages 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 gun far beyond the words of sympathy and the cotton 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 both 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

seized israeli weapons especially in taking missiles and israeli drones the us defense contractor formally 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 a kind of link to extremist groups fighting alongside beyond a position in syria dr salim 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 and these countries don't have democracy at home of course they cannot ask first they're pushing it in syria they have another agenda. there are books and written sources where this plan is described in detail decades ago and had a question of a blogger and freelance journalist has been investigated for

a serious crisis since last year she says this is a story with three main chapters often smuggled across the border overseas contractors and foreign cash. when you see a lot of money here then you will be i believe that this is comparable to what happened in the civil war in lebanon there were plenty of money then you will find that the government talk about hundreds of gallons or something nobody would kill him so. now you would see now this is. here in syria with more and more reports on international involvement emerging and calls to arm the opposition getting louder even for those at the grassroots for the uprising the initial euphoria is turning the tide. a concept we regret what we did but we don't want things to go back. to turn so much militarized globalized and boil and we never want to and don't want intervention now but fears are abdul aziz

says that this could be too late to stop this all the fire and flames of conflict raif an option r t damascus syria reports the pentagon's reading of forces come after president obama said a unilateral air strike against syria would be a mistake he was opposing calls by veteran senator john mccain who's urging military action against assad's troops. he says washington's not interested in probes. when you hear war hawks like senators lindsey graham in john mccain calling for bombs away and again go back and play over and 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 here he is on the road. we have to quiet it down a little bit gerald celente with the syrian conflict also dominating talks at the u.n. security council where libya's dream accused of training and preparing syria about militants discussions also touched on nato is probably come play in over libya last year during which more than one hundred civilians fell victim to a lie and say raids instances organizations refusing to investigate important was in new york with more on that meeting. 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 states how these war casualties this report was before into another russian basket or 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 a nato carried out its airstrikes to allegedly bring on more peace a peaceful and secure circumstance to libya this situation is still very dangerous but what is it if you will 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 there would be as well the support from their authorities there's

a special training center for the syrian revolutionaries and the people are sent to syria so it's hard to legal government because this is completely unacceptable according to old legal basis for the security undermines disability in the middle east. isn't 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 safer by any means. well of libya's interim government threatened to use force to bring powerful tribal leaders to heal after they declared autonomy for an oil rich region in the east the leader of the national transitional council went on to claim the program their fee infiltrators were behind the move but patrick hayes from the online world first magazine spike says he only sees hypocrisy you almost couldn't make it up the stuff you now the head of the national transitional council there i thought only

himself the minister of justice under gadhafi is now threatening to use force against you know the kind of the eastern region. about its head because they decided to act autonomous lee i think that's very worrying you know one this is an unelected representative saying this until you know how can you justify this you know how can he actually say i'm any better than gadhafi if i'm going to use brutal force if i'm going to use coercion to try and keep my country together so it meets with my will which is not the will of the people because i haven't been voted it's battering i mean really good speech hypocrisy is just there for everyone to see and that's why very sadly we're seeing the pockets of libya effectively just splinter off into sixty states and go back to you know go back to the kind of tribal divisions they had before libya was kind of unified as the states in the fifty's were coming on the situation in libya sarah marusek

a borate to beirut based research for the syracuse shooter versity says that what's happening in libya now is what caused an intervention in the first place. the country is in chaos right now it's heartbreaking and outrageous as president obama said about the situation in syria no the situation in libya is that way we hear about militias torturing people who are suspected of supporting qaddafi in the past and there was a hideous story today about someone's being or is getting cut off because he was horsewhipped on the hands repeatedly over and over again until his fingers were starboard these are crimes against humanity that are happening in libya and there is no outcry by the international community the same international community that called for a no fly zone in libya to save civilians to save people's lives so really it's a very dangerous situation we don't know who has what past here right now to attack

other people and other tribes and so it's very difficult and a political solution is required for this certainly not a military one. well still to come in the program a new show looms in libya to the women's rights movement rallies and mobilizes nationwide as movies interim leaders desperate for support pander to powerful islamic factions the report coming up. also iran nuclear talks a jew for a fresh round of what barack obama hopes will drown out his saber rattling senators israel salute poised to strike. next representing the british people in parliament could be thirsty work and it seems some employees are enjoying the perks of the commons a bit too much with the late night brawl just one of a number of alcohol in juice that was. loved and correspondent laura smith looks at why the word all there is more likely to be heard in a bar but in the. actually yes rukus behavior by members of parliament now not an uncommon sight on our t.v.'s ever since the

for the use of the people who work here and their guests there is no tourists among them is a stranger's car where he's from the rival parties often clash so much drinking revelry goes on there that it's 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 most years sarah will as the 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 and insists he doesn't remember falling over and. he pull fairly admit it wrestling a nice paper cell a narrow parliament bar although he maintains he was drunk most recently and he

marashi from the national rate american council told me he thinks the us administration understands what it will take to keep war from breaking out. but we haven't seen the situation between iran and the international community be at such a fevered pitch we've never been so close to the precipice of war as we are now and i think that focus the attention of this is not only in washington tehran but throughout the international community on and investing in a process of sustainable she asians and letting our parties know they need to compromise rather than exchanging ultimatums i think unequivocal statements from the president of the united states some of which we've seen over the last forty eight to seventy two hours is really the only thing that i can cause the israeli government back and not issue threats of military action you know the israeli population has been recently called in and close to sixty percent are not in favor of a military strike on iran if the united states is not supportive or it's not done with the united states and it had significant leverage for barack obama and perhaps

that's one of many reasons why he's come out in recent days and push back against the voices calling for not only our amongst israelis but also within his own congress. should freeways and rotting railroads america's transport infrastructure is in a german budget cuts by surprise you the solution appears to be or that all roads lead to china. los angeles has rolled out the red carpet for the man who was likely the future leader of china but it's president xi jinping 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 invest in the city's infrastructure pay to the in public transportation and ports we used to be number

aren't so sure we should be so eager for chinese money as i 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 bill you know so testimony is that it will create more jobs and efficiently but we witness countries and so much that so. 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 spurred 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 a level playing field back 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 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 those are legitimate questions to be asked about how the law needs to get involved if at all in these situations but the point is that the moment. you know the arrest taking place just represent a kind of hysterical response there's no sort of there's no water project behind what we western governments are doing in this situation it's kind of a knee jerk reaction with absolutely no content whatsoever. i do. believe we're witnessing a wide scale internet revolution i'm sure there will be it's really easy to. say and how should we actually. you know actions or arrest something that is down
