the syrian opposition wants foreign military forces to step in admits weapons are coming from abroad in your view and security council needs to see if they can break the stalemate. the u.s. rushes to apologize for what it calls an isolated incident after the american soldier shoots down sixteen against most of them children but stays in washington is dwindling. and agrees holds its breath for rescue catches the euro zone's benazir is given the green line but a lack of e.u. how matters like legal immigration take take its toll on the added nation.

and the russian capital you're watching ours he was nearing the joshing the syrian national council has called for military intervention by arab and western states as well as the establishment of a no fly zone across the country the opposition is also decided to arm the rebels admitting some foreign governments were sending weapons all this comes as u.s. security council foreign ministers met to try to break the deadlock in syria and it reports of ongoing violence fortnight reports from new york. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov did address the media following the meeting saying that the u.n. security council should be guided by the basic principles and interests of the syrian people he said there would be an immediate end to the violence and a cease fire is an absolute must but he said one point of view will not prevail within the security council their hostage be compromised there has to be some

concessions made for all parties to agree on the text of a resolution the u.s. and european countries have been pushing for regime change in syria over the past least half a year russia and china have used their veto powers on two separate occasions because they said they would not support regime change in syria or for any other country for that matter they said syria should not be a repeat of what took place in libya mr lover when he was a addressing the media also said that when it came to resolution surrounding libya they were violated and language was undermined russia would not loud that to happen again but mr lavrov said that russia is committed to supporting a resolution that would call for an immediate humanitarian assistance in to syria but he rejected accusations that russia is the sole country that could solve the problem in syria could could make everything get better or worse he did address his

critics when it came to this issue take a listen because there's no bonus when people say that it's interesting because of the. i would love to see such situations with the russians or the russian and the world this is. i would also like to know to hold that the united states can legitimately resolve the middle east crisis the arab israeli conflict or. drugs or if you can for all of that is what we all understand that today's problems of google. can that be resolved by the desire for it's even than systems even action by one country will you have the u.s. and european allies try to get text in any resolution that puts the blame on one side of the conflict in syria the assad government and that is not something that russia or china will support if it's a draft resolution that's strictly solely focusing on humanitarian assistance that will most likely push through i mean we're now reporting there now the u.s.

and its allies are reportedly considering what they call options in syria including military invasion alice her daughter a foreign editor of the you know pan newspaper says if western states decide to intervene a will bring even more chaos you know it was very reluctant to get involved in syria not least because it's a hugely difficult conference much more difficult and of course the criticism of the military commander after the libyan conflict. has been has been pretty harsh you know i mean how many more people have to die while you know the question of military intervention is only really been raised. he. appears to be in a more secure home sort of the last of the six weeks or so so i think it's still very much a moving moving issue room that will probably was over so in the coming weeks and number of key staff at al-jazeera arabic shall have resigned over its coverage of the syrian conflict those who laugh accusing atari own network of politicizing news and being biased against president broadcaster he's also accused of silence of

massive anti-government protests in bahrain are just policy your reports. zero setting you can lose it and. setting the news agenda being set by it's a channel once held it is a mouthpiece of freedom and change is fast becoming an instrument of political pressure and propaganda that's been ongoing since last april when you know of two thousand and eleven there senior people for being you know the head of the bureau quit many other people because of the biased coverage and and outright end of the government and dictating editorial policy over libya and now syria when he quit a year ago the head of the bureau see the channel had abandoned the professional and objective of porting claiming it has become an operation room for incitement and mobilization and i do believe that al-jazeera and other channels were not balanced in dealing with the events all are responsible for instance with respect

to the events in syria and bahrain we started to invite guests from america who only criticize the regime in syria and support the regime in bahrain and persons who justify nato intervention this is unacceptable. set up fifteen years ago al jazeera is owned by the state of qatar its english language spinoff and launched in november two thousand and six three english channel when it was set up was always intended to be a much softer version of the arabic trammell channel likely was largely set up to. show very clearly that critical programs compared. to europe it seems now both are working in tandem the channel is seen as widely influential in the middle east watch my some sixty million people it's been boid by the recent arab uprisings but critics claim it's increasingly become a tool of qatari and western policies and views it's very disturbing the hero

al-jazeera is now or becoming this regional player for a foreign policy in a way that some would arguably say the b.b.c. and others have been for decades where others are arabic has covered the story of syria is completely one sided. a charge backed up by another al-jazeera staffer who complained by e-mail that his bosses refused to publish pictures of armed fighters clashing with a syrian army the formal dizzier of a would correspond to the channel also ignored a referendum on a new constitution in syria as for libya a leaked report suggests that some of the channels coverage and sit ups from tripoli were fake. last year the channel was miraculously granted access to the american media market after initially been banned in the united states where it is an american officials saw how influential al-jazeera was in covering the arab spring but it's raised

a number of our brows and given weight to those critics who say the channels changed its tune taking the question whether al-jazeera is a once revolutionary voice has been drowned out by a loud noise the agenda of its sponsors r.t. contacted al-jazeera as head office of the channel was unavailable for comment policy r.t. television. political columnist ted rall a former control their intelligence the earth told r.t. why he was suddenly stopped from writing for it the politics of the channel were changing with the word from on high that leftist and progressive was such as mine we're not going to be as welcomed anymore and that i didn't need to sit in the merc ownership is always influential i was surprised when i first heard about that ownership there was they seem to have such a policy obviously the qatar is that decided to shape the picture of the news a little more than they used to. always in the state al-jazeera really did give

voice to stories and personalities that weren't getting heard elsewhere and now those views and those personalities are no longer being heard. watching i think coming up paying for that it's yours a death blow out and they go back in from the euro zone but it's left to five problems like illegal immigration alone. the tragic shooting of afghan civilians by u.s. soldier as prodded a raft of apologies and reassurances from u.s. officials president obama says there is no rush for american troops to leave due to the murderous and even says it was an isolated incident but the afghans and many americans are not convinced as archie's got it she can only ports. sixteen innocent afghan villagers slaughtered in cold blood nine of them children u.s.

officials are going out of their way to present the american surgeon to apparently committed the massacre there's just one bad apple. this incident is tragic and shocking and does not represent the exceptional character of our military and the respect that the united states has for the people of afghanistan this is not who we are in no way does he represent the. ethics and morality of the american serviceman and service woman and i think afghans understand that but afghanistan seem to be fine that all. the rage and humiliation felt by afghan people appear to be way beyond what apologies can make up for they've heard them all before in the last few months all too often and each one very similar to the next just weeks ago the white house apologized for the burning of the copies of the koran by u.s. troops an incident that triggered a surge of violence this was a deeply unfortunate incident that does not reflect the great respect our military

has for the religious practices of the afghan people and weeks before that in january apologies again over footage showing u.s. marines urinating on dead afghans but he's actions do not represent the values of the vast majority of coalition forces of their nations honorably contrary to what u.s. officials say some analysts believe that those incidents are symptomatic of how the military operation in afghanistan works it is increasingly the case that this is looking like. a brutal occupation which is killing a laws on provide. afghans film selves humiliated insulted and what instance like this will be regarded as symbolic of exactly what is wrong with the american occupation it is an absolutely cynical operation to say that they can speak complete in afghanistan for another three years how many more people will die how many more instances like this the only solution to this is to bring the troops home and for these for these governments to stop means of painting in countries where

they have absolutely no rights when the very copious apologies handed out by the administration don't see me. even to appease war critics back home let alone the afghan people but what about the whole idea of in aiding a country and occupying a country and disturbing their country creating hundreds of thousands of refugees and suffering this would ever get to a point where apologizing about the korean is rather minor to some of the other problems that we have i have created the taliban has doubt it will take revenge and analysts expect a fresh surge of violence children shot in the head women slaughtered it's incidents like the latest soldiers rampage in afghanistan that extremists of all kinds used to put new people to their ranks those new recruits go out to kill not even the most heartfelt apologies can change the minds of people that said revenge it becomes a vicious circle that breeds even more danger spreading far beyond the borders of

afghanistan i'm going to chicago reporting from washington marking. a western force how long outlived their usefulness in their region and will only continue to provoke opposition says british m.p. jeremy corrigan. this is a tragedy it's not the first and you will be the last we've had many people killed by drone attacks we had wedding parties of very large numbers of civilians attacked and my view is that the western forces in afghanistan have you long outlived their usefulness of there ever was any and it is time to go and not wait until two thousand and fourteen if the forces then the opposition to the presence of western forces increases the danger of grove attacks and all the mistakes that have happened over the past few years gets greater when the forces leave there is to some degree a vacuum there so there has to be a political dialogue between karzai the taliban and any other political forces within that country and that surely is what should be being promoted at the present

time b.i.v. that western forces are going to stay there forever will merely increase opposition to them the ag and people want foreign troops to go and believe the country will be able to manage by itself as the afghan finance minister. we did after and did not want the international forces to be enough i understand fighting for a. even in our longer. from the video we have to believe the prime responsibility of you can always include if you should be disappointed with our forces because they are opposed to this incident because. there will be much more effectively and much more positive than for looking forward with it being a economic slump this there's no doubt it will have some impact on our economy but there's no nation in the world differently. when you're talking about transition we're not thinking about. vision but also it's anomic transition even if in the

short term that don't turn to the economy and the longer term if there will be with proper afghanistan. i think absolutely an economy that will be more sustainable did you. watch the full interview with the afghan finance minister in around fifteen minutes time here on our team. much needed rescue cash will finally start flowing into greek coffers later this month as the eurozone group clears the way for a one hundred thirty billion euro bailout however the international monetary fund has yet to confirm its part in the deal greece has implemented the biggest write down in history for a deal with its private creditors euro group chief has given an optimistic prediction of its debt level saying it could decline more than previously expected prices hit spain has been a lot of big budget deficit for this year but it's expected to push through thirty

billion euros in cuts your m.p. parliament we've southern european countries should accept the currency union. serious problem you just got to look at the amount of people who are from the streets demonstrating that the moment suicide rates are up the minimum wage a thing cause there's not homelessness in the country at the moment all the european union is doing. is it's encouraging the cradle of civilization to head towards revolution because that's what will happen if we continue with these austerity measures there's only one sort of mass that piece comes out of the all together of the drachma values or its own exchange rate of combatants of level get this exports moving the idea that greece spain portugal and all these mediterranean countries can exist within the same euro zone used a country like germany was completely possible from the start. we said it really predicted this it was impossible it's a way the only way that this thing can move on is for probably the north a country form their own eurozone and for this little country to fall out

altogether to go back on their own couldn't be i think what you will see is heaven forbid you might see a shift of the far right if they continue down this line because people are very unhappy in these not just on happy about the economic problems but also unhappy about open door immigration policies which seem to be promoted by the european union so i think you will probably see a euro skeptic right across northern europe in particular the boards in the european elections in two thousand and fourteen and i just don't know what's going to happen in this world in your p.c. because maybe in greece it's not beyond that maybe you will have the revolution because people are very very unhappy and the. voices have already started sounding from the top in france as president sarkozy builds his reaction from one end and emigration rather again yes right and you pull out of the framework treaty if the e.u. doesn't find a problem that's an obvious greece that's bearing the brunt of the illegal immigrant as it seems jake of greece now reports. illegal immigration is an issue

facing the whole of the e.u. but in the midst of a reelection campaign french president nicolas sarkozy has singled it out as one france can't tolerate has been know to climb in the number of refugees knocking on your store with many originating from war torn countries where nato members have been embroiled as an influx that is acutely felt in debt stricken greece or. from afghanistan the numbers have increased in reality it's one of the nationalities we have the biggest problem with there are a lot of people who are trying to cross the turkish borders to come into greece and there was a border stretches one hundred twenty miles most of it guarded by the everest river through this channel fifty five thousand people reached greece in two thousand and ten alone a sizeable chunk of the estimated hundred thousand seeking refuge in the country every year in desperation greek authorities called on european border guards to

help police the area but now they are searching for more concrete alternative erecting six miles of razor wire along the short land border. it's very cost effective because two hundred people cross the border every day even if we cut half of them that means a lot for a country plagued by financial problems and we shouldn't forget there greece's european territory as the country's economic woes worsen they still receive a daily influx of new people to the country to make matters worse seven zero solution to a european problem but one that has little e.u. backing the european commission has ruled against the fence it regardless of where its flags flying they join a number of domestic human rights groups who despite greece's position as a gateway to europe stand opposed to the building of a fence stop their browes wall is one such organization we spoke to a member who wished to remain anonymous and he believes he stands to me very

species to show him that we're consistent with these a constructive number of those killed trying to increase for example what happens in the us mexico border. but with greece on its knees few in the country seem willing to take to the streets to denounce the wall and even among those who have deplored its implementation the great defoe appears to be hal the e.u. as a body tackles illegal immigration doubling to argument by itself which says that whoever comes in for your opinion is being said about the country where he first or she first entered the european union is that we all are back in greece which is unfair for an entry point like greece this aid agency has long cared for refugees in athens but it needs economic woes they now have a district for the horses to treat greeks as well as a colony of life is tumbling around them greek authorities are placing great faith in bricks and mortar and razor wire but many conclude it's

a project that won't stand up to considerable strains with the real building blocks to a solution being retained as a great age share of greece's heavy burden degrees r.t. athens. well that's funny too you grabbed your attention how website r. t. dot com a move along please the american military unveils a new non-lethal weapon to disperse crowds called the microwave count on. member of the punk feminist band to be made of glass windows a performance at the altar of russia's main cathedral are turned into an i can't get a full story on our website r.t. dot com. is it.
