the syrian opposition wants foreign and military forces to step in and admits the weapons are coming in from abroad in new york meantime with the u.n. security council meets to see if it can break the stalemate. afghan militants attack a government delegation visiting one of the villages where a u.s. soldier shot dead sixteen people most of them children. and greece a holds its breath for rescue cash as the euro zone's a financier is given the green light for the lack of e.u. help in matters like illegal immigration take a toll on the indebted nation. you

are watching the with worldwide news live from moscow to show welcome to the program the opposition 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 it's also decided to arm the rebels and missing some foreign governments were already sending in weapons all this comes as un security council foreign ministers are meet to try to break the deadlock in syria amid reports of ongoing violence in 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 they're hostile to 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 there hostage be compromise 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 at least half a year russia and china have used their veto powers to 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 laufer 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 you have the u.s. and european allies trying to get text in any resolution that puts blame on one side of the conflict in syria the assad government and that is not something that russia or china will support or he's going to reporting live meantime of the u.s. and its allies are reportedly considering what they call all options in syria including that of a military invasion i was to deliver for and it's an independent newspaper that says if western states decide to intervene it will only bring even more chaos. no it was very reluctant to get involved in syria not least because it's a hugely difficult conflict what's more difficult and of course the criticism that has come under after the libyan conflict. has been has been pretty harsh now i mean how many more people have to die well you know the question of military intervention is really really been raised since the siege and. a massacre in

home sort of the last six weeks or so so i think it's still very much a moving american issue and one that will probably result in the coming weeks and how the battle for syria has been going on in the media for quite some time now almost as long as the nations and battled cities al-jazeera channel has come under attack now for the way it was trying to shape opinion details about what his policy or. how does iraq have set and we 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 press been ongoing since last april when you know it's two thousand and eleven there are senior people from the you know the head of the bureau and with many other people because of the biased coverage and and out right into the government and the feeling of authorial policy over libya and now syria when he quit

a year ago the head of the bureau said the channel had abandoned professional and objective reporting painting 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 advance all are responsible for instance with respect to the events in syria in bahrain we started by guess 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 i think it was largely said our troops. only its coverage share shoebat very clearly

a few critical programs compared to or a bit o. jazeera but it seems now both are working in tandem the channel is seen as widely influential in the middle east watched by some sixty million people it's been void by the recent arab uprisings but critics claim it's increasingly become a tool of qatari and western policies and. it's very disturbing to hear al-jazeera is now becoming this regional player for a foreign policy in a way that some would argue the b.b.c. and others have been for decades the way al-jazeera arabic has covered the story of syria is completely one sided. charge backed up by another al-jazeera staffer who complain fi e-mail that his boss has refused to publish pictures of armed fighters clashing with the syrian army the full knowledge is either beirut correspondent to the channel also ignored or befriend him on a new constitution in syria as for libya leaked reports suggest that some of the

channels coverage and set up some tripoli were fake. last year the channel was miraculously granted access to the american media market after initially been banned in the united states word is that 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 pigging the question with al-jazeera is a once we've aleutian every voice has been drowned out by and now to noise the agenda of its sponsors r.t. contacted al-jazeera his head office but the channel was unavailable for comment pulls the r.t. television. so i could have you with us on our team today still to come for you in the program of paying for debts greece to secure as a debt write off bailout backing from the eurozone what is left to fight problems like illegal immigration. plus. missions to the moon to mars to

venus and to jupiter all part of our plans laid out by the russian space agency. militants of a tightly government delegation visiting one of the two afghan villages where u.s. soldier allegedly went on a shooting rampage the taliban earlier about revenge for the killing of sixteen civilians on sunday the u.s. has apologized but said the troops will not leave sooner than planned but the patience of the afghan people may well be running out the saudis got a chicago reports. 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 who apparently committed a massacre as 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 servicewoman and i think afghans understand that but afghans don't seem to find that at 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 reason actions do not represent the values of the vast majority of coalition forces who serve the nation's 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 of this is looking like. a brutal occupation which is killing the last number of afghans were afghans film selves humiliated insulted and what incidents like this will be regarded as a symbolic of exactly what is wrong with the american occupation it is an absolutely cynical operation to say that they can sleep. in afghanistan for nothing free how many more people will die how many more instances like this the only solution to this is to bring the troops out a month for these for these governments the stalkings of a name in countries where they have absolutely no rights when the copious apologies handed out by the administration don't seem in. when to appease war critics back home let alone the afghan people but what about the whole idea of in aiding a country an occupying

a country and disturbing their country creating hundreds of thousands of refugees and suffering this it ever get to a point where apologizing about the qur'an is rather minor to some of the other problems that we have to have created the taliban has vowed 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 soldier's rampage in afghanistan that extremists of all kinds used to it new people to their ranks those new recruits go out to kill not even the most heartfelt apologies can change the minds of people dead set on revenge it becomes a vicious circle that breeds even more danger spreading far beyond the borders of afghanistan i'm going to reporting from washington our king. from the hundreds of students have gathered for a rally in eastern afghanistan following the u.s. soldiers murderous shooting spree or the incident could have a diet consequences for the u.s.

mission in afghanistan that's according to author neil show. in some ways it's it has greater potential for damage in afghanistan because of the way that people are not necessarily linked into their own information systems they are not going to be able to find out about this on their own because they're going to hear it through a strange sort of tribal and local village rumor mill and when they go to the mosque on friday and hear from the mullahs who knows what kind of story this is going to be spun into so it could take. just monstrous portions it's just going to really if you're a wrench in the system i think they've already b.f. and americans had a lot of trouble arguing over the fine details of withdrawal and even handing over control of the prisons and things like this so i'm not sure what this will look kind of pressure this will bring on to karzai but it certainly puts the americans on the back foot in terms of what they're going to be able to ask for and expect from their allies and if they have to spend

a whole lot of time dealing with the fallout and putting out little fires and dealing with riots they're not going to be able to do the other things that are really the crux of the mission. and i more coverage of developments in afghanistan available twenty four hours a day at our web site www dot com also plenty of other issues to grab your attention there as well as for example police and you weapon that could cook the crowd the american military unveils a new people dispersing at the microwave canada. and russia is a legendary bolshoi theater goes on line anyone finding ticket prices a bit steep can now watch the pirouettes and live on the venue's very own if you choose channel. 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 is yet to confirm its part in the deal just like greece agreeing of what he will

with private creditors senior year official even suggested its debt could fall more than expected but your own people not all believe southern european countries should simply leave the single currency. recent serious trouble i mean you just got to look at the amount of people who are on the streets demonstrating at the moment suicide rates are up to minimum wages being cause there's mass homelessness in our country at the moment all the european union is doing to go down this line is it's encouraging the cradle of civilization to head towards revolution because that's what will happen if we continue with these rules that if you notice there's only one and so nothing comes out of the all together gets back on to the drachma devalue sets its own exchange rate at a competitive level get its exports moving the idea that greece spain portugal and all of these mediterranean countries could exist within the same eurozone as a country like germany was completely facile from the start. we said it really

predicts is this is impossible article where the only way that this thing can move on is for probably the north a country form their own eurozone and for this was a complete thought altogether to go back and 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 and think that i'm not just one happy about the economic problems but they're 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 because the european elections in two thousand and fourteen and i just don't know what's going to happen in this world in your previous statement because maybe in greece it's gone beyond that maybe you will find the revolution because people are very very unhappy and the and those right wing voices have already started sounding from the top in france as president sarkozy builds his pre-election platform on anti integration rhetoric he's threatening to pull out of the freeboard a treaty if the e.u.

doesn't find the problem but it's impoverished greece that's bearing the brunt of the illegal immigrant inflow. 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 singles out as one france cultural rights. has been know to climb in the number of refugees knocking on your store with many originating from luke's own countries where nato members have been embroiled. is an influx that is acutely felt in debt stricken grace. kept up the news 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 border to come into greece which was the border stretches one hundred twenty miles most of it goaded by the everest river. through this channel fifty five thousand people reached greece in

two thousand and ten alone the size will chunk of the estimated eight hundred thousand seeking refuge in the country every year in desperation greek authorities code on european border guards to help police the area but now they're searching for low concrete alternative erecting six miles of razor wire along the shore slam border. crack it's very cost effective because two hundred people cross the border every day even if we trust half of them think that means a lot for a country plagued by financial problems and we shouldn't forget the greece is a european territory. as the country's economic woes worsened its they were seeing a daily influx of new people to the country to make matters worse seven zero solution is to a european problem but one that has its own way you backing. the european commission has ruled against the fence irregardless of where its flags flying

a joint a number of the mystic human rights groups who just spike police his position as a gateway to europe stand up pose to the building of a fence stop their bros wall is one such organization we spoke to a member who wished to remain anonymous. let me ask were playing you believe dispenses inhumane has a history showing that by fences such as this a constructed number of those kills trying to cross the border increases for example that's what happened on the us mexico border. with greece on its knees few in the country seem willing to take to the streets to denounce the war indeed even among those who have deplored its implementation a greater flow appears to be how the e.u. as a body tackled illegal immigration. doubling for him and by itself which says that whatever comes of the european union is going to say but to a country where he first or she first entered the european union that means that your land back in the race which is unfair for an anchor boy like race based aid

agency has long cared for refugees in athens but it needs economic woes they now have to stretch resources to treat greeks as well as a quality of life is tumbling around the greek authorities are placing great faith in bricks and mortar and razor wire but many conclude is a particular word stand out to consider the strains with the real building blocks to a solution a reason that as a great ease share of greece's heavy burden degrees happens. the world of it is coming your way soon with an hour russia is planning to build a research stations on mars before moving on to other planets in our solar system and these are the ideas guiding the nation's space program in the years to come let's get some details on this now and speak to our he's pretty relevant are joining us on the program peter hello to you certainly sounding like an ambitious project well it is indeed cosmos the russian space agency laying out there

their plan for the next eighteen years will take us up to the twenty thirty now we're going to see unmanned unmanned network of research facilities on the surface of mars now there will be there to gather as much information as they can and send it back to here to earth hopefully being one of the first steps towards. being able to set up a place on mars now what we saw leading the way in martian exploration with the the mars five hundred project they said that was a step towards the first step perhaps the establishment of a network of their facilities on the surface really is that the two next step to being able to explore the red planet another will also be missions to venus and to jupiter and we're hearing that we could see a monday mission to the moon so all of this by the year twenty thirty it's certainly very ambitious but certainly very exciting projects so peter what about the current missions though how do they actually fit into this new strategy but as

far as the current missions go what we're going to see is the international space station scrapped by well in this time period now the mayor says has funding into leo twenty twenty expected it could continue on in some capacity for a few years after that but for all the good work the international space station has done we really need to keep developing and keep developing new modern ways of conducting the experiments that you currently done on the i know what we're going to see is a new generation. of unmanned spacecraft being developed they'll be able to travel further and retreat more information and more data than anything we've seen previously so it's all about keeping the technology used in space exploration up to date and as high tech as we can get it so certainly small kosova with the old in with the new but what about what about the same old launch pad all these new designs space ship solution use the old pad or what well when you've got brand new

spacecraft you might as well have a brand new place to launch them from now what we're going to see is the development of a new cosmodrome in the far east of russia currently everything the main rockets launched in russia are launched from the i can or calls from a drone it's actually in kazakstan it's leased by the russian government and they use the same launch pad as well yuri gagarin used to be the only his first plate as the first man in space so it's certainly served its time and the development of this new space state this new cosmodrome will be keeping up with the development of the new technology that will be launched from there and to well of course to carry all this out we need a budget now the cosmos that said that they will have six and a half billion dollars a year in order to put in place these. projects and peter it's all very exciting news you're telling us here but if indeed the russian cosmonauts do make it to mars

and if they come face to face with little green men what do you think mankind's first ever greeting gift of the e.t.f. should be should be some russian vodka and caviar perhaps i have absolutely no idea what if it was me i think i would be more terrified and wanting to greet them but. say it's one of those they will have to well have to keep an eye on i'm sure that if they do put this network of research facilities in place and they discover that there are as you say little green men up there on mars then they'll have something in place for when humans eventually arrive but of course of the like of you and it i vodka perhaps we could spark an interstellar war over thank you. all right let's get some other international news for you prefer time for the r.t. world update now palestinian militants fired three rockets at southern israel from gaza despite an egypt brokered cease fire after four days of deadly violence at least twenty five garzon killed in the past few days and thirty five israelis
