opposition to government the united states is providing tap. tical assistance for training military operations it's being done outside of the country just across the border however as long as as washington continues to feed this conflict it will go on but the message needs to start with washington washington has got to stop interfering in syria i believe the violence in syria needs to stop this is the people are suffering terribly the point is that it's two sides that are keeping this conflict alive this is what's good for bashar assad is also good for hillary clinton the united states must announce that it will stop supporting the rebels in syria and they will stop feeding this conflict both sides together must reach a cease fire it requires both action from both sides. violence in syria is spilling over into neighboring lebanon dividing its people on the crisis across the

across the street in a hospital run by a sunni charity attitudes. i kingly different most of the patients here are young men from behind province and some like muhammad don't hide their affiliation with the free syrian army he stayed on who is responsible for that is not hard to guess . i have a warning for the russian people that if they don't change this will cut all ties with them once the revolution reaches its peak tree you still have time to make the right choice. to hospitals administrator shows us some of the about five hundred patients they've treated since the uprising began. allegedly committed by assad's regime amounts of crimes against humanity but when i ask him whether develop aleutian is worth all the suffering and destruction his response is not exactly humanitarian but we have many destruction and we have more

no more than eleven thousand we hear. dead. i think the revolution has to pay from. something. and changing to better life to keep the two warring communities apart the lebanese government has dispatched an army contingent to the city for all its resemblance of believe being the capital lebanese tripoli is still trying hard to avoid the libyan scenario artsy tripoli lebanon on lebanese foreign minister and on one source says it's vital to work out a balanced approach to syria's conflict and says calls for foreign intervention are hampering peace plans. who would speak against any signs of the conflict

with lebanese foreign minister in about an hour here on r.t. the. french police are laying siege to the house in toulouse where a suspected killer at a jewish school has been holed up since wednesday gunfire and explosions were heard at the scene the interior ministry says that earlier blasts were intended to intimidate the suspect the man's claim to al qaeda links and they reported to be a french citizen of algerian origin and he said to be heavily armed had broken off earlier talks with police for scale assault on their house yet to take place but they're also supposed to speculate killing three soldiers investigative journalist michael pollan says the nato policies are bringing dangerous divisions. this is a political problem this is a policy of cause the in the late talk and it's not the question of the jew or muslim heart is that you have many jews who are accusing the state of israel and they are some muslims who are cooperating with. the and so the question religion

this has made it clear. it. is really dramatic that there is. because everybody sees that obama can see us russian palestinians are smashing the people in iraq and afghanistan and so are . of course there is the people of it only about that and when they don't know what little change this injustice so for guy been. growing tired this is very very good because this feeling increasingly this will increase the mission among the people and you can watch the police special operation unfolding into louis why about our website r t v dot com. well still to come in the program. hundreds of people could be left without electricity is israel's i'm happy with the green energy project set up for

a palestinian try. and india having every citizen scanned to ensure a fair benefits system but find out why many people the people are being turned into one giant prison. but first motorists in the elderly will be feeling the pinch in the u.k. is the government's unveiled its twenty five budget measures freezing pensioners allowances have been dug a granny tax or is criticism only large corporations or the rich will be protected argues laura smith reports from one to the government's calling this a fiscally neutral budget which basically made giving with one hand and taking away with the labor opposition party is calling it a millionaire's budgets and people will say that it's ten clearing around an economic disaster just dealing with the edges off the top line if this budget is really just tax cuts for the very richest people in society from fifty percent support five percent hugely controversial government says that the tax is not making any money anyway but groups like the occupy campaign say that it's basically

a tax cut for the one percent another very controversial thing is this this string of one hundred year even perpetual boring money it only needs to be paid back in one hundred years the government says it's doing that to look in low interest rates but the critics say that it's numbering our children essentially with not just children either grandchildren great grandchildren but one of the most controversial parts of this budget is the raising of the tax on fuel again later this year that has a huge impact on the economy and in fact it's a measure that according to some polls seventy seven percent of people in this country are against create tens of thousands of job no cost what government could say no to you case coalition government apparently as it sticks to it not the right . in the tax on fuel to take effect in august small business owners are feeling the pinch fuel over the last few years has really really crippled and crunched on our

bottom line but according to the fair fuel campaign cutting the tax on fuel by just four said it would get the economy motoring and could put one hundred seventy five thousand people back in work the creation of the jobs would take people off the dole benefits and these jobs would be creating more tax going out spending more money etc but they seem to be ignoring this and concentrating on things like fifty top rate of income tax for the rich people meanwhile small business is found sound untoward chapman run a company which sells an install spence's to keep your pets in your garden it employs seven people full time and runs four vans in which engineers deliver fit and train pets to use the fences the guys can work in hampshire one day and then the next day depends on when the customer wants us there so we have the increase in the eighty which obviously is going on top of fuel as well and then the actual fuel g.t.

is well you can't keep being screened at all angles forever around seventy percent of the economy is small business the government says it's depending on firms like dock friends to rebuild it but growth and development is out of the question according to sam he says the price of fuel is throttling the price at the pump has already hit one pound fifty five a liter in some places that's two dollars forty six and although some of it is due to the geopolitical situation including the arabian oil embargo a staggering sixty percent is tax it's an easy damaging way to raise money is actually a very convenient types because it's actually very difficult to avoid i mean one of the impacts is on labor mobility say how easy it is for people to travel to work or jobs that might be travelling distance from home so. it actually can increase unemployment quite markedly if you. it's a problem that bill says down into the entire economy ninety percent so that

security council when it comes to developments around iran international consultant she says turning up the heat on iran means a decision to attack it could already have been made. strategy all along not only with respect to iran but also with respect to syria and even iraq if we go back to two thousand and three and before undoubtedly the problem that now the united states has is that it is have a longer heads with its main ally in the region of israel to see which is the best tactic to attack iran they both coincide on the strategy they want to take down iran's or matter what for different reasons perhaps what they want to take advantage of the less however as far as the way to do it israel would seem to favor a direct attack a unilateral attack as they have been frightening to do for years now while the united states i believe that the best way to reach tehran is going through the muskets so for various reasons even military reasons and the military and the

united states have a very strong say in this are preferring first to deal with syria in order to have short so to speak of free chessboard to then yes go ahead and attack iran. take a look at some other stories making headlines across the globe new york police have surrounded the city's union square to clear it out occupy wall street protesters for the second night nero classmates raid has seen a park closed and at least six arrested activists moved to the square after they were forced to leave their previous bases a coffee party are demanding the resignation of the city's police commissioner for what they call little tactics against the occupied a. renegade you have attacked the presidential palace in the capital hours after station and unique it's feared the west african state could be seeing a full scale who earlier soldiers stormed a state t.v. and radio station have now broadcast a statement saying that people ended president to raise the when they want to handover of power immediately started a military camp in the capital soldiers are angry at the government's failure to

indian government is hoping that the twelve digit numbers will allow indians to be more mobile and personal work wherever they want by tying them to a centralized database so that they can open a bank account get itself or get rations anywhere in the country but the plan also has its critics apart from the amount of time it will take kenny years by thumb at the minute there is also the inevitable human rights worries about big brother state or something the. robots who do that and. people like walk hill on that struggling on a few dollars a day have no clear idea of how this is going to help them but they're willing to try it. when i actually receive the cards then i will know the benefits of having to. i know you don't have an official identity and will have access to seek help
