a new war is a constant barrage of enemies leads to a bulging defense budget. and a fierce exchange of fire on the israeli palestinian border moves into its second day with thousands of rockets fired on civilians out on both sides it follows the killing of a gaza resistance army. a very warm welcome to you this is live from moscow with me will receive shock. the syrian president bashar assad said he would like to make what he called quote any honest effort to solve the crisis currently tearing his country apart however he admitted it would be impossible while terrorist groups continue spreading chaos or the statements come after his meeting with the u.n. and arab league envoy to syria kofi annan in damascus ahead of is

a make or break diplomatic mission called for an immediate cease fire involving evolving both rebels and government forces so the talks could begin but it was immediately rejected by syria's exiled opposition that enjoys the support of some western and arab states including cutter which is called for international military forces to be deployed to help end the conflict however russian foreign minister sergei lavrov stressed again any interference in syria's internal affairs is unacceptable. for national has more from damascus. hopes are fading already but this mission will succeed the leader of the syrian national council a turkey based opposition group recognized by e.u. as illegitimate for a percentage of the syrian people has said that anons comments and his idea to find their way out of crisis through dialogue are disappointing while syrian people he's been massacred every day here in the country but hunger you has also said that any

political solution will only work in syria if it's a company by military pressure on the regime of bashar al assad calls to give more weapons to the rebels and to provide them with any help they need have become especially loud after the rebels withdraw from the baba amr neighborhood in hopes heart of the conflict following the army's operation there saudi arabia and carter have been among the most active supporters of the militarization of the conflict in syria calling the idea to arm the rebels an excellent one who recently heard a lot about foreign weapons says here in syria and foreign volunteers and security officers. captured in hopes following claims by the free syrian army that it's already received weapons and anti aircraft missiles from the west meanwhile core fear none has been warning that further militarization would only make things worse expressing his hope that no one is very seriously thinking of using force in this situation but it seems that some are considering this as an option the gas former

presidential candidate and senator john mccain has called on air strikes on syria to save innocent lives here in the country although official washington did rule out military intervention as an option the u.n. estimates of the around seven thousand people have been killed in the clashes between the saudis and the opposition here in syria the clashes that's been lost and for a year now already the opposition activists have been saying all the time that the regime of bashar al assad has been suppressing syrian people civilians innocent people while officially damascus has always been insisting that it's fighting against armed terrorist groups operating in the country which is expected of coffee and then will spend two days here in syria will meet president bashar al assad and some members of the syrian opposition within the country it's not yet clear whether he will travel outside damascus security forces on high alert fearing any provocations and terror attacks at its root for national reporting meantime

professor of middle east history at westchester university a lawrenceburg believes that some major international players are behind the refusal of syria's opposition to engage in dialogue with your side regime the united states. and the growth the growth countries i don't think they're they're looking for a negotiated peace i think they're looking for a prolonged. episode per grade civil war i don't think it's that they don't have any influence i think they don't want to see these people negotiate because again they're in a very weak position. they're out of the country there the numbers of armed men under their command are limited they cannot win against the government militarily when it gets the government the government is attempting

to coopt the moderate the moderate protesters with you know promises of was widespread reforms which if implemented would go a long way to satisfy your regional demands of the opposition i don't think they are backed by the majority of the people in syria even the protests that are still to come later this hour here on the uprising hailed as a win for democracy so it's into a grab for power at any cost the memories of two violent revolutions are still fresh in people's minds and could stand to politicians stoked up ethnic divisions for personal gain. i know what look like the light at the end of the tunnel for greece is a wrecked economy has turned into a downgrade nightmare more on that in just a few minutes here on. roughly ten thousand people gathered in moscow today to protest against sunday's presidential poll which sort of out of my

opposing return to the kremlin for a. attendance however fell far short of expectations with blame being put on internal conflicts among opposition leaders and a general lack of direction for the movement of person off was at the time mr bush . well it's fair to say that much less people came to this rally than initially expected by the organizers they were waiting for up to fifty thousand people while police said only around ten thousand people gathered here on the way out about today in moscow this process movement is showing that the figures of those people willing to take part in these rallies are obviously obviously dropping which means that the time of tests has come for the opposition there's still no clear leader in fact a group of nationalists walked out of this march accusing the liberal course of the oppositional for driving the momentum of the protest movement into a dead end the movement he started in december after the fall mentioned you know

actually i made accusations about fraud it led to a massive social campaign for a transparent presidential election and indeed unprecedented steps were made to ensure that i'm talking about the web cameras installed over ninety thousand polling stations nearly a million observers were monitoring the vote at these polling stations as well but the opposition says that violations happens both during the voting and during campaigning although society is blitz on the results of the presidential poll we see in mass rallies both in support and i guess its results several members of the opposition civil activists were detained during the previous rally they didn't want to leave asked to be time agreed with the authorities and in fact we're we've got reports that the same people tried holding on the same should more toward postmistress square the same square i guess it was sort of again shows how divided

the opposition is dividing both mostly into the peaceful part and to the i guess more radical part as well so it's clear the opposition needs a new face it needs a leader it needs to find a direction to attract more supporters and constructive and concrete demands. of his kind of reporting there and journalist and the political activist nicholai it's funny it's a says the opposition will be better focusing its efforts towards constructive dialogue as calls revolution will only turn people away. the mood today was so much more constructive than it was at the anti putin rally on march the fifth which was downright hysterical if that hysteria that irritation in aggression who continues it would have alienated the public no one here wants a revolution no one wants to fight with police the people who come to these protests only want change they don't want bloodshed or violence which is what can scare them away the government must also accept winning the march fourth election

doesn't mean they go on as they did as for the opposition they must move away from gimmicks like white ribbons to serious politics with concrete reform proposals and united leadership. you're watching r.t. and still to come for you in a program here that of learning the hard way we report on the lessons of life towards arab children in israel as their homes are more than their basic right to education then i. ten minutes past the hour in moscow obama's push for diplomacy with iran over its nuclear program has failed to quell talk of a pending military confrontation statements from america's top defense officials suggest a strike is in the planning stages and could use a type of bomb never seen before and as aussies anastasio chuck and i reports it looks as if history may be poised to repeat itself. water for fish are

popular among us war veterans like math sure wrote some of the nerves of some of the roughly one hundred seventy thousand american soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder the u.s. army frag has one hundred eighty three campaign ribbons on those one hundred eighty three ribbons each represent wars when you compare that to the way the two hundred thirty six years that we've actually been around as a country you're talking about you know a war on average once every year and three months serving americans are on permanent standby to deploy to carry out warfare on command as the u.s. has a bone to pick with one enemy after the other from the soviet union and the choppiness threat was the most useful enemy where we are legitimate and we are completely fantastical it was always available as a global conspiracy against which to justify anything to small or untag it is after

the cold war the list keeps expanding allied air forces began an attack on military targets in iraq and kuwait airstrikes against serbian forces our war on terror. begins america striking selective park and some military importance to undermine saddam hussein's ability to wage war we should develop these air defenses with a defense budget that surpasses the military expenditure of all other countries combined. no other nation drums up war as consistently as america and while people are still responding in recovering from the violence that's committed in one place or even in the same place we're launching new operations and more atrocities in different parts of the world the military industrial complex worth billions of dollars is largely america's driving force. deeply rooted in the system it would serve no purpose if there was no one to fight if there were no more enemies last there would be raw service. sense of mission for frightening thought to many as this would reveal the economic social and cultural emptiness at home i throw here

why the country when there are no enemies trying to put together the evil empire again do in syria what we're doing now in libya we've got to overthrow this guy the threat that iran poses us year in and year out americans are convinced that the us has to remain on the defense they're petrified of death by terrorism so should i don't think i think a lot of americans wish we spent more money on war finding the next target is never difficult we embed seen the nation of iran as an enemy as a threat to the united states says a sister of nuclear weapons it is not. nation that has not attacked another in literally centuries and has no capability or desire to attack ours g.d.p. which might sort of the world around you around is the word iran it should be iran the us has been picking and choosing which countries to intervene in for centuries

as the list of nations that america loves to hate expands the concept that no war or is also an option seems to have been forgotten just as inter cannot see. us conflicts waged across the world of a left a trail of military bases in their wake often in countries never even involved in the fighting in a special documentary and look at the history of the sites and how the host nations are affected by them over the coming your way next hour here on out. to a substantial degree and one form or another socialism has spread the shadow of human regimentation over most of the nations of europe. and the shadow is i'm pro-choice the pretty. early early twenty first century military base is a network of military bases all around the former sleep empire that the united states is trying to do it's astonishing most americans have no idea there are more

a car. the children have to walk along dirt paths and cross many busy streets part of the journey is on a bus but after they get off they still an hour or more of walking they were late every day and exhausted even before the first listen starts the youngest is just three years old. it's because we aren't because our religion is muhammad mars it's that's why everything is light this. is radio losses transport must be provided for children living far from school but because the local authorities say the families are squatting illegally on privately owned land they refuse to hold. the birds for growth. or for internationally and also in israel children should have access to education at a reasonable distance from their home. proper education. their very early education system. a day after we visit the bulldozers arrive because far from

hundred were killed thousands lost their livelihoods all victims of militarized politics that have become a part of the democratic process here. because back neighborhoods that were burned and looted a year and a half ago are now being rebuild. but many locals fear that politicians will once again gamble on ethnic divisions to achieve their ends. it's backs and countries have different political preferences but given the current is majority and their professed readiness to fight for their interests in a crowded procedures are no longer just about the country's future for many is becks in arse it's quite literally about life and death. are very afraid that they will again be used to scapegoats in political games many have left the city on the eve of the election for fears of riots i verge those who stay to vote like courage is due to avoid any anger from the site while the sound of vote has seen could be streaming to the polling stations menus banks made arrangements to leave

do you believe contraception coverage should be mandated by a government this week let's talk about that well i think that contraception is. something that will protect kids from unborn or unwanted child unwanted pregnancies toothpaste prevents to think a bad because bridge to all that sort of question probably i don't think. are the same category why what's the difference between a contraceptive but with a diet that's more of a health concern in terms of your own nutritional. your own your own personal nutrition weight and so what's the difference of contraception that's your own lifestyle choice to have unprotected fat. some people like it better than others and i do believe in the separation of state and religion so you think it's a religious issue only no i think it's a women's rights issue as well but i don't think you can have a government mandate that providing something that somebody may not believe in so i

do believe there is a separation i think it's women's rights i mean i think that the government should subsidize these kind of birth control to women but is it women's right or women's choice because there are other ways to not get pregnant yet farrah gray is also included and the government is paying for it i am still stuck on government mandated i do believe that birth control should be available to us we are paying high for these insurance i am for insurance premiums and if that is the kind of health care that i need i think it should be available to me whether a government has to mandate that or not i don't know the bottom line is any kind of pharmaceutical contraception is a sexual lifestyle choice so let's just hope any government considers that before treating contraception as a health care concern. before we get to the kaiser report on r.t.
