annan diplomats hope his joint u.n. arab league peace mission will breathe new life into stalled security council talks aimed at ending the year long violence last weekend his proposals to push the syrian authorities on their position. to fighting on both sides humanitarian access for civilians and for talks to begin the syrian government says it gave him a positive response. to the door for dialogue with syria but it's all analysts show he says america and its allies supplying supporting one side of the conflict could hamper any peaceful solution there aren't special forces. from nato countries. cia operatives are there this is all sources incidentally it's not it's look here's it is actual fact british special forces have met up with members of the free syrian army and they are training them because

of the free syrian army from a base in turkey british m i six operatives have reportedly been training the rebels they. know what is that that means their operatives well that was the dutch realize namely nato on the ground inside syria. and they are complicit in it. which is not an opposition which is fighting government forces. well we want to know what you think about the situation in syria with our web site that r.t. dot com we're asking you a year on the news during the fighting in the conflict in syria. and for half of the one percent say it's world superpowers and that they're known for natural resources so over a quarter believe it's a propaganda peddlers and to make media outlets have a sense it's a serious power hungry elite or slightly fewer so for us it's

a right between freedom loving people in the oppressive government not a dot com as many of us. still do in egypt with thousands gathering in cairo and the football stadium stampede which killed seventy four people last month dozens of people are now charged with murder and negligence including a former security chief and eight police officers as a really good reports it's just compounding the despondency of a revolution that was meant to bring the lives. revolution happened just around the corner these three things are really close to here and have always been and if i mention interests have of the city but over the past year with the protests spreading the breaking out these shopkeepers have seen their lives gnashed and their livelihoods broken repairs and cleanup in the wake of protestors clashes with police brought many businesses to hold meaning they're already small income was hit . after the revolution there's been less work because of all these events we shut

down early and go home because there's no business we have to stay closed for several days immediately following the uprising on january twenty fifth last year at the security situation in egypt and capital remains on easy in fact many residents say right now it's even worse than it was at the height of the uprising last year there are one out of every people you meet in the street under the age of twenty five who doesn't work and this is a. problem the angry unemployed youth often choose to sweep in after the protestors losing and stealing from damaged shops does the of of everything we have here other businesses in the neighborhood are also looted or houses on the street or near to your square either broken into or robbed everyone suffers in an attempt to keep the protests under control the government installed cement walls blocking off the area around the talking or square it may have made things easier for the

police but it's only made matters worse for locals at the barricades they've built on the streets they've really affected us as well as the huge protests we haven't worked for seven days since and afterwards had to clean up a lot. yet most egyptians believe the main problem is not the mess which follows the protests but the absence of jobs which turns many desperate people into looters it was the country's flailing economy which forced thousands out on to higher square. in the first place their first slogan that was here and that is where was the word broke because it was. it was actually getting ugly people were killing each other in the line. it was hoped their allusion would turn all of that around bringing more jobs to people and food on their tables but as things stand more than a year after the uprising even those who did have a livelihood are now struggling to stay afloat even if i was quite see cairo.

the u.s. led strategy in afghanistan is taking a beating from both sides coming from the afghan government and that's how about this mr lytton group has suspended peace talks with washington and scrubbing america's position in the conflict as erratic and vague afghan president also proud of a nato campaign calling our forces to leave rural areas of last week's massacre of sixteen civilians and american soldiers instant has intensified calls for an exit of meeting troops and having karzai wanting his forces to take control of security by next year and has to withdraw by twenty fourteen today crosstalk hears from experts who take on it there has been instructed. and when we talk strategy strategies military this country doesn't succeed when it uses its military if

somebody fights back except for world war two when you go through all of the other wars we don't have the staying power we're not going to get that staying power alternately we're going to leave if not this year then next to the year after and everybody knows all of. this here christian. what about pale or. i was just you know there's already a lot of. history if you look at all the places where the u.s. military has intervened it's been a story of remarkable stability in all these places don't resemble switzerland necessary but iraq has a nascent democracy it's violent we exit in too quickly kuwait is free in persian gulf oil flow those are very interesting areas you can see that area three or if you look at the instances where we've. gretchen you want to jump in you want to disagree. but i just want to say that you're wrong i'm saying when people fight back we don't do well.

an attorney for u.s. soldier bradley manning who's accused of leaking hundreds of thousands of pages of classified information was asked a military judge to dismiss the charges against the government mishandled certain documents in that case also military authorities finally said and in the i mean he's charged with assisting his own kind of convicted soldier could face life in prison a spokesman for the group supporting romney sister soldier those who are subject to punishment they can make these claims and go on with this fear mongering as they have been as much as they want but they're entirely baseless and we know that they're baseless because we know for a fact that the government conducted a number of internal impact assessments that found that the wiki leaks materials did not pose any threat to our national security that our troops were never put in harm's way it reminds me of growing up in school going to civics class you know you

learn these basic concepts that you know trial tends to proceed punishments you know these are basic foundational concepts of you know western law and justice and that's been completely thrown out the window in this case and that's a clear violation of his eighth amendment rights that's a clear violation of articles one in sixteen of the un convention against torture that's a treaty that has been ratified by congress in accordance with the constitution and these really aren't optional standards these are basic rules of the road that the administration needs to play by and if they're not able to do that then they're not qualified to govern. mistaken about what else is making news around the world this hour survivors and relatives of the victims from tuesday's swiss bus crash turn to brussels family members they are identifying their loved ones who died when their coach hit a wall inside

a tunnel killing twenty eight people most and children young somalis reported seeing the driver trying to change the just before the crash which we send our best against. hungary's prime minister attacking european union dressing a crowd of instagram two thousand budapest queues brussels of colonialism is respecting his country's sovereignty interfering with the mystical press he was concerned with changes to her interior door which is seen is undermining democracy and brussels is already taking measures against hungry for its excessive budget deficit. tied to explore one of russia's biggest cities what it has to offer. its nestled in the mineral rich room mountains you've got to remember it has always

been then across the country for its precious stones but big industry has metal on its mind lately and there's one part in the reports that took the shine off the jewels. from its beginnings as an outpost of the fledgling russian empire terran bird has grown up as a city which exploited be mineral wealth of the ural mountains it's gone on developing on that line throughout its history and it's those themes the exploitation of the region's rich mineral wealth which i've been examining in my report the fairy tale of the mistress of copper mountain it tells of the mysteries of the legendary greenstone malakai right adan in russia as you around mountains but now a kite is not alone this looks like a pile of rather dull mountain rocks but step over here and when we have water we can see something of these rocks natural beauty these are the stones of feel the

legends and fairy tales of the urals and they also feed the still hands of local craftsman these men are cutting and polishing precious stones and sheep among the treasures the most famous greenstone of them all emerald. it should be large one hundred percent translucent with communing properties being color quality and weight it also depends how after the crash is still is found in nature. most of them will find their way into jewelry and display pieces but as the nonnes says these stones seem with the urals the vast majority don't even come from russia in europe no one worst locally developed precious stones here it's very sad and i even feel a sort of pain because the jews did business is though there are the stones it's not that the euro was a short of these gems quite the opposite in fact precious stones were so easy to

find while the cottage industry grew up here around them that nobody bothered to invest much in surveying what deposits exist let alone extracting them and once metals were discovered such as beryllium which is used in military applications a little was thought of destroying the emeralds in which it's normally found. there are still thought to be enormous deposits of emeralds and other precious stones within the euro's and no matter where they come from the region still has craftsman that spend their working lives creating masterpieces from them who knows maybe one day if the mistress of copper mountain allows it and these marvels and stone could be made from a part of the country they were present cumbersome r.t. . we're going to discuss a little bit more about yet aaron burke's past and its development as the capital of the urals is next in how mccall of he is vice rector here at the ural federal

university but seems if we start off back in the past the discovery of the huge mineral wealth that there is around here perhaps you could talk us through the development of the city from its early origins right well the the history of mining here and hit the lows you hear goes down to your weight seventeen early eighteenth century and we can trade it up to move the scale millie told me that was one of the. most to reach people here in russia not only in the region and they built a lot of factories here you know not only in your considerable bottom three job then in thirty's you're into salvi it's who you know is it beginning or sold it's are all in you considered more they created a lot of heavy engineering careers so this was the it

startles industrialization. ok so that's a very good introduction so we take that up to if we'll call it the regions moments of crisis really after the fall of the soviet union in the ninety's and the region i think it's probably fair to say found itself a bit lost. well of course when you have so many you know factories and then you know the whole economy collapsed you know the the city was into crisis i mean that the whole region was in crisis actually so it's actually even wards of the not too well it would be a patient of the criminal case it's all this time for the mormons i think that you're raising the status. business is you know working quite well that's. a great thank you to not seem comical from the university here you can turn but the

city has never been afraid to push business opportunities it's that future that will hold a looking at the developments at the time but in the decades to come. there tomorrow we wrap up our jackets here catherine back now with more from the royals to come later today when our intrepid venture sets out to explore another major city of paris. i.

was like you look round. but a business news next with katie and plenty of traders measure up at the crack of dawn this morning. all the excitement as you carry is because of the i pad the new one is going to be available in stores today so we've seen consumers sleeping on the pavement across the globe really excited about this one is that huge hype and i can tell you actually the apple shares of climb to an all time high it's not surprising really interesting to see some reviews later on the day is so what people make of it by all accounts it's much like the first one. let's head over to asia now see how their shares are faring is a mixed view i believe to. make

a on the how would you panned the yen is not quite as weak as it was the next quarter's aren't so you happy about that it's now not an eleven year low as it was i can tell you that honda's one of the most interesting was is down around one percent so i see huge amounts of oil the biggest drops in that region let's see how the u.s. got on that yesterday because they seem to be in the presence of once again as you can see with. the nasdaq both start strong gains the dow jones actually that was its seventh session of a winning result so it's very positive and that's not because of the job better than expected to see how gold is getting on because they seem to be benefiting largely from the u.s. however i can tell you it is least bullish. to prices a raise almost half of this year's games that's very significant so we watching

that one and that's because of the u.s. strengthening and the federal reserve not buying more debt it has a direct effect on gold silver is down as you can see just that we're going to take a look at the markets from russia that we've been in just on. two hours time yesterday it was a day as stocks bank was one of the biggest losers in news if they plan to give eight percent available to the public to buy of that shares as you can see investors want to impress but school buy that news from a ross now if they were benefiting from the high oil prices exchange rates the dollar has taken a breather against the euro for now the russian ruble is doing better and that's a largely because of the u.s. strong they benefit because investors are now more confident about investing in say in risky assets the. oil that oil was one of the most interesting

yesterday because prices are indeed high at the moment the british prime minister david cameron has said that because the prices are so high that it's time to start thinking about dipping into strategic oil stockpiles in other words as well because it is a desperate situation however u.s. president barack obama hasn't agreed to this just yet so we're monitoring the situation today be interesting because if that does happen it will have a direct impact almost over prices ok that's how the markets have over this i'll be back in about fifty five minutes during that.
