it's amazing with the you on arab league envoy kofi annan not present pressure on the son says he is ready to search for a diplomatic solutions to the syrian crisis but they're not until terrorist groups stop destabilizing the country. attempting tied to the opposition as a protest rally in central moscow sees a turnout much smaller than expected internal divisions and a lack of organization oblate. on tension on the israeli palestinian border triggered by the killing of a god's existence leader continues with a barrage of rocket fire and remove the terms of bad sign.

welcome to all see coming to life from the russian capital and we start in syria president bashar al assad has pledged to make any genuine efforts to resolve the crisis in his country at a meeting with the yuan an arab league envoy to syria a coffee a nod the embattled president also stressed his view that dialogue can hardly succeed while terrorist groups continue to provoke violence and to stabilize the country all she's murphy notion of all of the talks in damascus. following his meeting with the joint u. and arab league and we're 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 and 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 march 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 and all the dust of 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 all of insistent that talks are essential to end the violence of the crisis and warning that further militarization may worsen things here on the ground he's also expected to meet opposition there here in the country the roster doubts that diplomatic or political solution could be around the corner that 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 to support to welcome this measure solution to the crisis here in syria the calls to give more weapons to the rebels and to provide them with any how they need we've been hearing a lot of these calls recently and they've become especially louder after the rebel . with your film the baba amr neighborhood so as we can see many many countries many sides been involved in this conflict and all of them have different opinions and different views on how to and this conflict here in syria so it's clear agreement is not easy at all to be reached at this stage. does and on the situation

in syria when i joined live by jason did say the antiwar protests jason don't skulk into the program so when you all school you say oh position sega's have accused course we are not of leaving own mothers who are saying we want all sides to end to donald why such a reaction i don't think it's surprising coming out of certain parts of the rebel forces get a lot of them have put all their eggs in one basket of international military intervention and it's been very clear in saying that he thinks international use of force is only going to make matters worse so he's very much acting against the interest of certain of these exiled groups that kofi annan has already met with key opposition figures do you think he could succeed in rebuilding relations in the country i would hope so he certainly can whether he will or not remains to be seen but. there's always an opportunity for the sides to get together and negotiate

there are going to be some. some of these rebel factions of course that are so committed to the idea of a foreign military intervention that they're not going to be involved but i think there will be enough that would be involved that it's at least possible well also bashar al assad has repeatedly claims that terrorist groups working in his country do you think is true. oh absolutely that's not to say that everybody within the opposition is a terrorist group of course we've seen a lot of peaceful protests going on across syria but. very clearly as specially from iraq there have been a lot of figures from al qaeda in iraq that have been to frost over into syria and have been very eager to take up the cause of against the assad regime. yes it also said we were on resolution laid the blame for violence says solely on

ass terms regime we're trying to right to block it i think so because i don't think it was so much just that they were laying all the blame on one side which which certainly isn't true because this is a very much a civil war especially now with combatants on both sides but. any u.n. resolution they gets passed is going to be used as an excuse by someone in some country to justify further intervention in a sconce. also grounds and. that's more lateral military action to take. the person was awarded i guess military. if that's a bargain it makes sense a red signal for why what president obama is saying is that he thinks it's a bad. a bad idea to intervene militarily right now and that's not to say that he's

not going to decide if there is more convenient time to intervene some time in the near future i certainly hope that's not the case but i would say history suggests that. what happened in libya is there they're just taking their time and went and very much still do want to intervene. all right jason of. jason thank you very much indeed for sharing your views with us thank you calls for political dialogue between both sides in the syrian conflict have also been voiced at a meeting of the arab league in cairo and russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov drawn the gathering and stressed again that any interference in syria's internal affairs is unacceptable and the violence should and regardless of the source is now telling no because. 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 points road map for number one is immediate cease fire and stop violence coming from all sides of the conflict then it's incarnational and free monitoring all the situation in the country point number three which is probably the most important one that russia has been meeting 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 need of humanitarian corridor for all the people of syria and we need aid and we're also praised for the f. words of the annan 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 russians the foreign ministers are here lover of also said that russia thinks that

a new u.n. security council resolution on syria can only succeed if it's not driven by the desire to let's rebels. street battles russia has previously vetoed the un security council resolutions on syria in october and february because those resolutions in russia's view were only putting pressure on assad and his government rather than on both sides off a conflict. moving on now officials claim two hundred thousand people took to the streets of moscow to protest against presidential election victory but the turnout was far lower than for earlier rallies with blame being put on internal conflicts among the movement's leaders are the lack of clear goals and there's no firm date for a new opposition rally with some leaders suggesting at two months pools and so his inauguration of his new groups can offer. 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 this protest 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 parliamentary election i made accusations all about fraud it went 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 votes at these polling stations as well but the opposition says that violations happens both during the voting and during

campaigning although society is who it's all the results of the presidential poll we've seen mass rallies both in support and i guess it's results several members of the opposition civil activists were detained during the previous rally they didn't want to leave after the time agreed with the authorities ended and in fact we are we've got reports that the same people troy holding on saying should more toward postmistress square the same square i guess it was sort of again shows how divided the opposition is dividing mostly into the peaceful part and to even i guess more radical for as well so it is 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. and the opinion of journalists and political analysts anything. it's been easy however is that the latest protest was not more constructive than the one held on

march the fifth so it's were arrested for allegedly breaking protest regulations. today was so much more constructive than it was at the end cheap really on march the fifth which was downright hysterical if not hysteria there irritation in aggression that continues it would have alienated the public no one here wants to revolution no one wants to fight with police the people who come to these protests or even change they don't want bloodshed all violence which is what can scare them away. a year ago in japan a huge tsunami triggered a major nuclear tragedy when it hit a power plant leaving about nineteen thousand dead or missing and on the first anniversary sun zones around the world gather to protest against the use of atomic energy there as traitors in south korea and calling for atomic power to be phased out. mourners gathered in the city of sendai in remembrance of the disaster and to

discuss or shave a year after the tragedy when i was joined live from vermont by arnold gundersen is an advisor of women's associates. very warm welcome to the program so there are reports that even though the plant is now shut down fusion products such as uranium are still generating heat so what is the status of the plant right now and the nearby city. good morning and thanks for having me that the heat is being generated and will be generated for years to come not from fission but from the splitting of the atoms that occurred in years past all those atoms are still radioactive and as they decay they're going to generate heat for for many years to come there's contamination out at least thirty kilometers and in some areas. perhaps as high as sixty kilometers people should not ever return in addition i was just been

in tokyo and took five samples and those live samples were high enough to qualify as radioactive waste here in north america so it means that we do admit that there are some problems does that mean that the government is and disclosing some some facts from from people and why so i think the government has been slow to disclose facts ever since the accident occurred there's clearly the cleanup is going to cost around a half a trillion dollars u.s. and that's not just for the site but for the prefecture of fukushima as well but the contamination goes well beyond the prefecture like i said i picked it up in tokyo and that's sort of fifty kilometers away the entire north of the country as a public health hazard here because everyone is exposed to radioactive cesium

radioactive strides and other isotopes. we know the u.n. atomic energy chief has said that's a meaningful steps have been taken to strengthen global nuclear safety since they seem while greenpeace says no lessons have been learned what's your take. i coauthored a greenpeace. report and i agree that no lessons have been learned so far. in america we're just now getting around to finishing the preliminary studies but we're allowing these plants to continue running until twenty sixteen before they even make any modifications so we really haven't learned the serious lessons for shimon has taught us worldwide. and just to prove your words according to the world nuclear so safe and more than sixty reactors are being built in fixing countries or forging ahead was nuclear power so why hasn't the specs or at least slow down that

growth rate well it actually has slowed down the grocery there were only two new plants started last year. and before that there were dozens in the last several years so clearly countries are having second thoughts my biggest concern or the other developing countries where there's a really close relationship between the people that owned power plant and the suppose it regulators even closer than it was in japan so i think you know we have many accidents waiting out and in throughout the world look if she were was was not a one of a kind phenomenon right on earth gunderson energy advisor so when associates thank you very much indeed for sharing of these with us thank you. let's move on our palestinian militant group says its truce with his girl is earned

a series of rocket strikes was the reaction to several israeli air raids which took the lives of at least fifteen palestinians and has all his policy reports fears are running high that the escalation may lead to even more of that. more than a dozen palestinians have been killed and dozens more have been injured many of them children innocent latest israeli strikes over the gaza strip now the most high profiled palestinian should be killed by the israelis as the leader of the popular resistance committee out casey who publicly went on record and acknowledged his ties to the kidnapping of the israeli soldier gilad shalit was held for more than five years in captivity in gaza and released late last year the israeli say that in addition she does they have evidence that he was involved in the planning of finding and the directing of a did he cross border raids from the sinai peninsula into israel last august now the israelis have also been targeting a number of him t. training camps across the gaza strip cairo has criticized tel aviv for breaking

a tacit ceasefire that has been in place between israel and gaza and the palestinian authority says it is israel to blame for creating a negative environment it would only see and its collation of violence in the last twenty four hours they have also been some eighty rockets and mortars that have been fired by palestinian militants from gaza into southern israel and a number of israelis have been injured one of them is in a serious condition now in addition to this physical manifestation of violence on the ground has been investigating a different type of warfare a much more subtle type of warfare taking place here in israel and there is over the question of the white to education of israeli children but as we've been finding out that white is the most voted down when it comes to arab children. the lessons of life come early to the children hours before the rest of the country wakes up these young arabs are preparing for a long trip to school it's a twelve kilometer walk there and back tiring difficult and more than

a little hair raising it takes the children about two hours to get to school the older ones younger ones with their bags the word is dangerous and just a few days ago when. the children now of the mist being knocked over by a car. the true don't have to walk along the parks and cross many busy streets part of the journey is on a bus but after they get off early 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're arab because our religion is muhammad not moses that's why everything is like 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 hope. for growth. internationally and also we're going through. children should have our first record

. of a refund and from the. proper purpose. of education for them the day after we visit the bulldozers arrive because far from wanting to help the children be authorities one of the families gone whereas the day before this house stood here we come back and find this. our children hate the police they hate the jews and you ask from why is this hate israel calls itself a democracy what kind of democracy does this to its children but we have got them since the founding of the state not a single you out of a village was built and for most of those already in existence there is no overall plan which means that every construction is around there we go. and so with their homes up for demolition and they dream to be educated a daily trudge these children are learning the hard way that some of life's most

important lessons happen outside the classroom policy r.t. surfin junction israel. and then gays you missed any of our stories you can always log on to our website actually dot com and his was there for you now. from compassion to brazilian beachgoers fines for the lives of dozens of stranded dolphins dragging the of this model's back into the sea. and conspiracy or hide the iceberg that sues the titanic's fate right literally had to help from a bar as a group of scientists say the moon became its accomplice and sinking history's most notorious cruise liner. athens may have hoped it had escaped the gallows but it seems the news may have been tightened further around its neck and that's after they made his credit ratings agency declared greece into full on its debt that comes in response to the country carving out

a war on average of 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 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 smaller and sadness after the cold war the list keeps expanding allied air forces again an attack on military targets in iraq and kuwait air strikes against saddam forces our war on terror. begins when i try to select a target some military importance undermined saddam hussein's ability to wage war we should get off 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 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 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 left there would be raw sort of a sense of my. frightening thought to many as this would reveal the economic social and cultural emptiness at home i brought here why the country when there are no enemies trying to put together the evil empire again to do in syria what we're doing now in libya we've got to overthrow this guy threaten iran was a year in and year out americans are convinced that the u.s. has to remain on the defense were 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 are instead seen the nation of iran as an enemy of the united states as it is this year of nuclear weapons it is not. a nation that has not attacked or not there are in literally century send it has no capability or desire to attack ours on t.v. with my desire to work 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 war or is also an option seems to have been for about a decisive churkin i see. and let's not take a look at some other stories making news around the world because the we have collided on a motorway near los angeles in chile leaving six people dead and fifty five injured local media reports that the nori driver lost control of his vehicle and drove over the separation barrier crashing head on into the passenger car which. tony at least
