and watching r t coming to you live from moscow i'm marina josh welcome joins when arab league envoy to syria kofi annan will see talks between syria's opposition and the government when he travels to damascus on saturday that a leader bashar assad has signaled his willingness to talk but some rebels have angrily dismissed the idea out of hand and not as worried as it often reports from syria it's not always clear where the calls the fired on are coming from i think. once putin. friday has become one of the fines for speaking of street countries in syria this new tradition has gone even further with activists online giving every friday its own very special name if both reflect the opinion of the street or the syrian people and to also send a message to the external world of all of the syrian situation the more the
3:02 am
opinions of same people but the days of names like taking a cheat. last march have come to an end with calls to arm the rebels until the president becoming the main message from those protests against the regime so a lot of perch are people saw a lot of killing people and saw their families are being killed in the front of their eyes so i mean this is just natural to ask for killing is accusing the president but coming many however argue that these hostile messages are a tool to provoke more violence and the steering the country towards civil war is a way to. affect. people and people think. this is the way to prove syrians to kill syrians want to connect acts of terror and violence and of noble things and radius of where they're going to or symbolically in the history of syria and of course to reach some political

purposes although anti-government protests here in syria have a very spontaneous take the rough few things that they usually go on before the day friday the place cost the time also the prayers and even the cause they're gathering for and the slogans they're chanting i usually make public. and this thing changes although with a basis so exactly behind these messages. it is now a common subject among people in general not just on t.v. but i don't know specific source and then we heard from the people around me my friends but actually television. some yes. well and i'm like i don't know there are some people who name every friday but it doesn't interest me i think you should ask them. i think i heard something on t.v. . the trail led us to
3:04 am
a website called syrian revolution. it is here that the name of the coming friday is usually published supposedly after people voted for it it said it fifty cents all of the groups strangely enough the syrian national culture nation committee the opposition within the country say they have nothing to do with this site oh another place with voting is carried out cannot be accessed from syria of course the water is electronic or to. anybody sure if it is real or not it's honest or not while it's not clear who really stands behind the idea some names like china is killing us or. it's just an agenda that's not looking to compromise and seek a peaceful solution to the conflict a little was once very called syrian national council represents me to try to change people's mentality for the for prayers and god when people feel themselves
3:05 am
it's become would be for violence or is it eventually a mixture of people on the street weak and divided with the rhetoric growing stronger every friday many here are starting to question who is really pulling the strings trying to escalate the violence and race nationality damascus. to libya now where the interim prime minister has spanked the u.s. for what he called a tremendous support in overthrowing khadafi but the new libyan authorities are facing an uprising of their own from a group of powerful tribal leaders who have the clear partial autonomy in the east of the country but it will alice pepe escobar told r.t. that washington is likely to take a little interest in political developments in post gadhafi we. we haven't they talked up in tripoli. need to as we call not will stuff. he's saying that he's going to intervene in so he's going to be what you know where to look after two point zero is going to intervene against the people of syria nika all over again because they are splintering to tribes in eastern libya has been
3:06 am
antagonizing a central government tripoli for decades if not centuries and this is a second what's happening because of the sprinter nato doesn't care of course the u.s. the brits and the french don't care as long as they have contracts which truthfully to go alliance between especially against between a washington a london in paris and the g.c.c. they want to take over and then this tribute the spoils and who cares about the future of libya as a democracy is going to be war warning shoots tribal feuds that is going to cool for average. sara marsac a beirut based researcher for syracuse university says that what's happening in libya now under a western backed government is exactly what prompted foreign military intervention in the first place. the country is in chaos right now it's heartbreaking and
3:07 am
outrageous as president obama said about the situation in syria no this iteration in libya is the 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 fingers getting cut off because he was horsewhipped on the hand repeatedly over and over again until his fingers were severed these are crimes against humanity that are happening in libya and there's 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 capacity right now to attack other people in other tribes and so it's very difficult political solution is required for this certainly not a military one. well it's an artsy live from moscow so i have a program no word to high british authorities peek into the online activity of the nation find out just how much the taxpayer is coming out to the spider on. prey for
