arabia the entries here a chief in beirut where ali has been working has also quit for same reason. 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. this is just a proxy it's a proxy used by external cause by some local actually by external governments by maybe the west to fuel this war. with more and not proof emergence of the international media as involvement in the arab spring revolutions the question remains open so what extends to the influence in france and how much responsibility do they therefore share for what follows. r t beirut lebanon. the assad government has scheduled parliamentary elections for the start of may russia is praising the move but says change and reforms are long overdue on the

ground syrian troops have overrun another flashpoint city pushing back armed rebels opposition activists claim the area is now becoming the scene of a park down while the government's hailing victory against what it calls foreign funded terrorism rabble political leaders and health confirmed today have been promised more weapons from abroad meanwhile the international community is still unable to reach consensus on how to act the un estimates more than eight thousand people have been killed in syria since last march international consultant load burnoose says it's up to damascus to deliver on its promises of more reform. it's wrong to talk about the opposition in syria there are all sorts of listen forces who want to democratic regime who want to negotiate but who are against military intervention now this is not good for them it's just so big for those who have chosen violence nobody is claiming the regime is the moxi on the contrary the point
11:07 am
is whether violent overthrow by a military intervention is going to think not the good thing what we should do is see how. and measure how serious he is about these things we don't know yet whether he means it or not whether we should have been used give it a try and force him to do it to fall on the road somebody needs still ahead in the program nuclear propaganda we report on why israel still has not ruled out the possibility of an attack on iran and its atomic program despite public the supply of. eight civilians have been killed by roadside bomb in afghanistan just days after a u.s. soldier massacre of sixteen civilians and a shooting rampage in washington president obama is hosting his key ally british prime minister david cameron for talks on the afghan military campaign candidate you can report stunning u.s. capitol. both countries are facing
11:08 am
a huge backlash from their joint campaigns topping the agenda is of getting sent especially in the wake of the tragedy that happened there over the weekend when a u.s. soldier apparently murdered sixteen innocent afghans in cold blood including women and children analysts say the incident is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the problems that the allied forces mission faces in afghanistan the u.s. and the u.k. or the main contributors to the war in afghanistan and as the two countries are trying to coordinate a kind table for withdrawal analysts say becomes increasingly clear that their nation building effort has been a failure insurgency in the country's rampant afghans clearly want the allied forces out is and it's like the latest murder of innocent civilians are used by all kinds of extremists to recruit even more people to their ranks opium poppy and here in production in afghanistan has increased dramatically in the last ten years of the war there and is now at record levels and part of the money from its sales effectively goes to support terror around the globe by the way the first country to fall victim to the rampant opium production in afghanistan is russia and it's
11:09 am
watching very nervously and with huge concern and what the allied forces are doing there because their actions directly affect russia's national security what's interesting here in america even the mainstream media which have been generally supportive of war see if not to say trigger happy have started echoing what most people say here in the united states and the thoughts almost pleas that you hear most often with regard to afghanistan or they just don't tell us that we're winning and b. why isn't the leadership listening to us that we have to say here note opinion polls show more than sixty percent of americans want their troops out of afghanistan and they want them out now so with this in mind it's going to be very hard for mr cameron and president obama to put each other on the back and celebrate success when so much speaks to the contrary. but you know peace and hand the u.s. defense secretary is in afghanistan trying to manage severely damaged ties with cobol after the furor over the burning of the koran by american troops the afghan
11:10 am
president says the latest civilian killings are an american soldier are forgivable london based investigative journalist simon assaf says the military campaign is bogged down by ever changing goals they will be trying to manage what i think is going to show it is a moral collapse of the of the occupation we have to remember that poor obama who opposed the war in iraq the afghan war was the good war so this latest incident following the burning of the koran is quite recently we just feel that the whole kind of moral case for the war has been trying to keep her away from the afghan war for a while i mean. remember it's you know it's over ten years now and we've heard so many promises so many lies the end of the tunnel and so on the. diplomatic surge is troop surges all these things have failed and you just feel that there was a this a can just to really quietly maybe if we just leave without making much noise
11:11 am
people will forget that we were here that. incidents like this that i think of just below that completely that the reason they went in was to destroy al qaeda and osama bin laden was across the border in pakistan so then it became a war against the taliban and then a war against the afghan people and so now at the end of all this horrific process we turn to point to say well i actually need to sit down and talk these are not foreigners these are afghans and they represent something inside the country in the end the truth is that they are going to have to be the masters of their own fate. callable debt crisis is causing world markets to flood again later this hour peter lavelle and as cross trial gas debate whether more financial regulation will make for a healthier international economy here's a sneak peek. if you look at what's going on in the world at the moment there's this huge bill going through america called gold for a huge advisedly i mean it's now up to something like six and a half thousand pages hard can anybody in their right mind expect to use that to
11:12 am
create any sort of a framework apart from a large amount of paper that you can go and sit on or possibly make. and i think that's the problem we're running into here peter is that actually we can talk about these lovely concepts all day but actually we've got the nightmare coming out because everybody's going to be potentially in danger of wearing an orange jumpsuit because they won't know what they're able to do and if we don't have any markets whatsoever then reasonable commerce is going to come to hold because actually i think arnold said it best first of all you can't be extreme you can't have total regulation because that stalin ism and those markets didn't work terribly well and you kind of complete out not capitalism which admittedly we've never really seen in the world but i suppose you could argue happened during the industrial revolution because that's going to be a mess. just showing us from minutes past the hour and china must put the brakes on growth and growing an urgent reforms to keep the world's second largest economy stable and for

whole european continent raising more fears of china's far reaching influence it does would emerge so as. you know. he's it's. can but europe hasn't thrown in the towel just yet it still has the power to grant china's wishes as a country's second biggest trade partner the fall of one is the fall of both the e.u. also has its own demands for one backing on syria and iran part of the political game but international politics given that this is being played is very much committed to economics in. a resource for us but behind the gates of cash rich china it's fighting its own battle trying to sell the idea to its people chinese internet forums were abuzz with annoyance at what they see as poor ordinary chinese paying for rich europeans so beth why they can use prime minister. try

of using children as young as nine as bodyguards and sex slaves. around president has appeared before parliament to answer questions regarding his foreign and domestic policy decisions mahmoud ahmadinejad is accused of mismanaging the nation's economy and challenging the authority of the country's supreme leader he denies the allegations but now faces calls for his impeachment it was the first time since one nine hundred seventy nine that iran's parliament has summoned the president. meanwhile iran has rejected allegations by the u.n. nuclear watchdog that it tried to clean up radioactive evidence of a secret nuclear work at a key military site run also says it's ready to allow i.a.e.a. inspections there but under certain conditions meanwhile tel aviv isn't backing down from its threat to attack but as paula slayer reports that's not striking a chord with israeli public opinion. there's
11:21 am
a growing chorus of anger in israel but the government refuses to listen there's no logic in attacking iran births we have a government that plans illogical things and that's really frightening and while most experts agree israel is far from having the capability to attack iran is really officials keep hinting a strike could be imminent the million dollar question right now is whether or not it is or would go it alone it could call on its closest ally the united states or hope but washington is making a lot of noise not to strike i don't think there is a possibility that. we need. america before we strike and the best way would. we don't expect agreement. with probably. relations between israeli and american leaders are tense but aparna to managing an
11:22 am
end to the loose talk of war coming out of little yahoo's government i would not buy any say that. you know. what is ross or. character here is really. you know one of us. in war and well nobody's really official has gone so fast to confirm an attack on iran the implications are clear the consequences of such political moves very very. close in the strait or four walls. stopping the flow of oil in the gulf. we are not going to reopen. before the
11:23 am
law or. in spite of american express and suggestion we certainly. israel relations with the united states. even break them all together and in the long run that might be a gamble even more dangerous then taking on iran's policy r t tel aviv british conservative m.p. john byron told r.t. that talk of attacking iran will only make a peaceful outcome last likely watches full interview next hour but here's a taste of what's to come. it's not only naive but it's illogical it's naive because the policy of force has clearly failed policy of saber rattling and sanctions has not worked they are yesterday's promises iran is not going to be deterred from pursuing its nuclear program but it's also in logical because we're
11:24 am
keeping an option on the table which clearly inflames the situation people know that it's. been a disaster if we pursue that option of force so i think you have to be realistic the present policy is a failed and present policy is a heightening tensions what we want is now to pull back from any chance of military conflict and take a fresh look at the situation and adopt a fresh approach. and now it's time for the latest business out there dimitris at keeping us well informed throughout the day had to retreat so trading is over in russia how did they take out her went very well actually r.t. as nice is getting more than one percent lots of stories so look there when the russian markets but mainly we saw a capital outflow increasing in the month of february after another seventeen billion dollars left in january the economics ministry says eleven billion left in
11:25 am
february and this is our to talk to you chief economist at d.m.p. parivar in russia to talk about the reasons for this. if you are flies must be driven by the russian companies which are taking money abroad including paid external debt and invest in a broad political factors also strong we think the trend will to starting from april when this new clarity about the new government of the. us if we just take a look at those numbers you can see that investors are pretty much used to this trend of capital flying out of russia because the r.t.s. and m i six gained one point two percent better than their european or u.s. peers secular was moving the myself today many stories there as i mentioned after about four point six percent at the close on rumors that its partner company. could take a controlling stake in russia as the largest car maker to cause

a bit weaker than the market up just a point three percent of the close as announced on business plans and investment into certain assets and notably the west colonel field in iraq that is going to invest twenty five billion dollars over the next ten years their. preferred shares were the biggest gainers up more than five percent the highest level since summer two thousand and seven. in the us markets are struggling for direction the dow jones still trying to maintain in the positive territory after gaining a whopping one point seven percent it's a good sign that there's no correction right now there but the nasdaq is down by just a notch this is on the back of course of good stress test results that we've seen in the banking sector in the u.s. broadly positive foot see the dax so therefore driven by banking shares which are bank up three point eight percent of this. and u.s. crude is of the night on the i max as the u.s.
