a physics change of fire on the israeli palestinian border moves into its second day the dozens of rockets fired in civilians hurt on both sides before as the killing of a gaza resistance leader our top stories this hour. international news in coming live from moscow this is r.t. with the twenty four hours a day the syrian president bashar assad has said he'd like to make what he called any on his staff it solve the crisis currently tearing his country apart the statement comes after his meeting with the u.n. an arab league envoy to syria kofi annan who's on a make or break diplomatic mission in damascus he's more of an ocean has been getting cross developments there. following his meeting with the joint to an arab league envoy here in damascus president bashar assad has said that syria is ready to make any onus to step to the crisis here in the country but he has stressed that

it would be impossible while terrorist groups are continuing to spread violence sends chaos across the country the conflict between the opposition and the authorities here in syria is about to enter its second year and since the beginning of the uprising last knowledge the opposition activists have been accusing president bashar assad and the regime of using force. against peaceful protesters against innocent civilians while officially damascus has been arguing that it's fighting against terrorists against armed groups operating in the country in order to justify lies the situation here on the ground coffee on and ahead of his visit to syria has announced that he will travel to the country to try to persuade the two sides been involved in this conflict to start dollars insistent that talks are essential to end the violence in the crisis and warning that further

militarization may worsen things here on the ground he's also expected to meet opposition met here in the country the roster doubts that diplomatic or political solution could be around the corner because the syrian opposition based the broad the syrian national council that was recognized by the as a legitimate representative for the syrian people seeking for democratic changes has made it clear talks are not enough they've been calling on military pressure on the regime of bashar assad as well and they're not alone supports to welcome this militia solution to the crisis here in syria the calls to give more reference to the rebels and to provide them with any how they need we've been hearing a lot of these calls recently and they become especially louder after the rebel. we draw from the baba amr neighborhood so as we can see many many countries many sys been involved in this conflict and all of them have different opinions and

different views on how to answer this conflict here in syria so it's clear agreement is not easy at all to be reached at this stage and professor of middle east history at west chester university lawrence davidson believes some major international players are being the shots i should say are behind the refusal of syria's exiled opposition to engage in dialogue with the assad regime the united states britain. and the gulf. countries i don't think they're in there they're looking for a negotiated peace i think they're looking for a long. episode for a civil war i don't think it's that they don't have any influence and i think they don't want to see these people go she because again they're in a very weak position they're out of the country their numbers of

armed men under their command are limited they cannot it when against the government militarily when it gets the government a government is attempting to caracas the moderate the moderate protesters with you know promises of was widespread reforms which if implemented would go a long way to satisfy the original demands of the opposition i don't think they are backed by the majority of the people in syria even the protests. calls for political dialogue between both sides in the syrian conflict of also been voiced to the meeting of the arab league in cairo russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov who join the gathering stressed again any interference in syria's internal affairs is unacceptable he's not telling us because i was there. the joint statement declared that russia the league of arab states finally agreed on a road map that has been suggesting for quite a while now

a five point roadmap point number one is immediate cease fire and stop all violence coming from all sides of the conflict that it's impartial and free monitoring all the situation in the country point number three which is probably the most important one it was has been making all this time is no external interference as a lot of once again stressed that russia does not support the syrian regime but rather the people's rights of choosing their faith for their own country installed in their domestic issues on their own also they talked about the needs of humanitarian corridor for all the people of syria who need aid and. praised for the f. words of the man who is currently in syria trying to establish dialogue between president bashar assad's opposition groups of which there are more than one in syria he stressed that all sides of the conflict have to sit together and talk the foreign minister sergei lavrov also said that russia thinks that a new u.n.

security council resolution on syria can really succeed if it's not driven by the desire to relax rebels. street battles russia has previously the told the un security council resolutions on syria and it's over and february because those resolutions in russia as you were only putting pressure on assad and his governments rather than on both sides off a conflict. within twenty four hours a day coming up later this hour the up rising hailed as a win for democracy turned into a grab for power at any cost and then too violent revolutions are still fresh in people's minds and. politicians ethnic divisions for personal gain. have learning the hard way reporting the first lessons of life being taught to arab children in israel that homes are outlawed and their basic right to education denied. the story still to come the first officials claim ten thousand people

gathered in moscow today to protest against sunday's presidential poll which saw in return to the kremlin for a third term 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. going on was at the demonstration. much less people came to this rally than initially expected by the organizers been waiting for up to fifty thousand people while police said only around ten thousand people gathered here on the way out of what today in moscow this process movement is showing that the figures all those people willing to take part in these rallies are obviously obviously dropping which means that the time off 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 party of the opposition of driving the momentum of the protest movement into a dead end movement me started in december after the fall and then she actually i

mean accusations of ballot 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 happened both. during the voting and during campaigning although society is put on the results of the presidential polls the mass rallies both in support and i guess its results several members of the oppositions and the activists were detained during the previous rally they didn't want to leave after the time agreed with the authorities and in fact we're we've got reports that the same people tried holding a non-sentient more toward pushkin square square the same square i guess it was sort of again shows how divided the opposition is dividing both were mostly into

the peaceful part and to the i guess more radical part as well so it is clear the opposition needs a new fees it needs a leader it needs to find a direction to our track more supporters and constructive and concrete demands. the opinion of journalists and political activists to make allies say however is that the latest protest was much more constructive than the one held in march the fifth when some activists were arrested for allegedly breaking protests regulations look as if it was clear you know the mood today was so much more constructive than it was at the end he putin barely on march the fifth which was downright hysterical if that hysteria that irritation integration had 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. a little later in the program here on r.t.

we take a look at the latest twist in the saga of the greek debt crisis seem like light at the end of the tunnel for greece's wrecked economy has turned into a downgrade nightmare more on that and just to be very. in the meantime gripe about this 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 artie's and started chatting to reports it looks as if history may be repeating itself. i know for a fish are popular among us war veterans like math it sure wrote something 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 and each represent wars when you compare that to the world at two

hundred thirty six years that we've actually been around as a country we'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 in the choppiness threat was the most useful enemy where we are legitimate and we are completely fantastical it was always the bailable as it's a global conspiracy against which to justify any smaller untag it is after the cold war the list keeps expanding allied air forces began an attack on military targets in iraq and kuwait air strikes against saudi enforcers our war on terror. begins right now gonna try to select a park and some military importance undermine saddam hussein's ability to wage war

we should get out these air defenses with the defense budget that surpasses the military expenditure of all other countries combined. no other nation drones up war as consistently as america and while people are still responding and recovering from the violence that's committed in one place or even in the same place we're launching new operations in and out more atrocities in different parts of the world the military industrial complex worth billions of dollars as largely america's driving force. people rooted in the system it would serve no purpose if there was no one to fight if there were no war enemies last there would be a rush of a sense of my. a frightening thought to many as this would reveal the economic social and cultural emptiness at home here was a country where there are no enemies and trying to put together the evil empire again do in a syria what we're doing now in libya we've got to overthrow this guy the threat that iran poses us here in and year out americans are convinced that the u.s.

has to remain on the defense or 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're invented in the nation of iran as an enemy as a threat to the united states says it is sister of nuclear weapons it is not just a nation that has not attacked another in literally centuries and has no capability or desire to attack ours g.d.p. we have made sure to around iran 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 work or what is also an option seems to have paid for by this interconnect. a palestinian militant group says it's truce with israel is over that and the series
