this is artie's weekly news if you cross the very latest developments welcome to. the crisis in syria is to be debated in moscow later on sunday dowbiggin an arab league envoy kofi annan alongside the russian leadership russia has been backing the special envoys mediation efforts the president gathered expected to stress that peace is unachievable supplies are still flowing to opposition fighters outsize damascus posted it team of experts as part of kofi annan mission to discuss the possibility of implements we are on a six point peace plan includes a ceasefire from both sides as well as dialogue and was unanimously backed by the u.n. security council and its joint statement the motion however was denounced by one of syria's major opposition groups that's. a quote from the rebels landis a direct threat this. until these studies. the rebels believe that with the

external world on their side particularly the west with. sanctions on syria and with the gulf arabs willing to spend money on them that they will eventually overwhelm the regime and be able to win once they get their side organized and better equipped both sides believe that time is either side of that they can win that regime is doing classic clear and hold operations against the rebels it's possible that the elections will bring in a certain sector of syrian society but i don't think it's going to heal the great divide that has opened up between the revolutionaries and the assad regime but meanwhile reverberations from the syrian conflict of being felt across the border in lebanon as aunties looks on a more canonicals visions their worryingly some of the conflict next. it's an air

of c.g. on the mediterranean with a penchant for everything. lebanese tripoli looks a lot like its libyan namesake and increasingly it's being drawn into the revolutionary violence its conscious sizeable alawite and sunni communities and with the syrian border just half an hour drive away tensions are already boiling over the road separating the allies and sunni communities here in tripoli is up in the serious street and attitudes to what's happening there divides lebanese more than anything else this country stands to lose the most from the disintegration of its neighbor here cannot approve of that came just a few weeks ago when one night bullets started to flow across the street the clashes claimed the lives of two people and pushed the rest deeper into their ideological trenches residents of these alawite sobber raised money to put out this impromptu memorial to their leader and the countries they consider their protectors

but you must thank you russia there is also no second guessing on whom they consider their enemy america's love. for american interests we don't kill a great democracy human rights of freedom. serious ruling baath party has its regional office here its chief says meeting bashar al assad in person was the most memorable event of his life while the prospect of a un sanctioned foreign intervention in syria is now minimal he says behind the scenes syria still remains a front here for regional powers syria's from you about maybe half an hour and we see everything you know we're. going. to syria we're going from lebanon syria. or from jordan from. across the street in a hospital. run by a sunni charity attitudes are strikingly different most of the patients here are

young men from the harms province and some like mohammad don't hide their affiliation with the free syrian army he staked on who is responsible for the bloodshed is not hard to guess. i have a warning for the russian people if they don't change their stand will cut all ties with them once the revolution reaches its big tree you still have time to make the right choice on the hospitals administrator shows us some of the about five hundred patients they've treated since the uprising began. allegedly committed by assad's regime and mountain crimes against humanity but when i ask him what he did revolution is worth all the suffering and destruction his response is not exactly humanitarian but we have many destruction and we have more than i can no more than eleven thousand as we hear you. and

i think the old bird evolution has to pay some. something. with. development and changing. of life to keep the two warring communities apart the lebanese government had dispatched an army contingent to this cd for all its resemblance of the libyan capital lebanese tripoli is still trying hard to avoid the libyan scenario at some point artsy tripoli lap and on. the main international focus still on syria on restos when the arab world is going on the interest of peaceful demonstrations across. its. forces. civilian casualties details next. french police this week shot dead

a gunman in toulouse who killed seven people including four at a jewish school and three soldiers. was killed after a seat at his apartment he refused to surrender and try to escape through their intelligence and criticise one thing that's under surveillance for some time. with a friend in the center he said he had ties to al qaida and underwent training they're going to start his brother said he was proud of his actions and charged as an accomplice. it's missed school says a french policies towards why it's news out of the sentiments of the french young arabs in france are really a little is a later because. they don't feel like french people think that they are french and when they go back to for example they are despised lucian because they don't speak

arabic and because they don't know their culture so you know wait they are really on both sides and they turn to aggression and maybe of religion as a subsidiary for culture in france because of sarkozy's past police sees economic policies the growth doesn't exist so you have a lot of people resenting the presence of the immigrants and immigrants feel that they are not welcome so they turn to aggressive actions. but coming up here at r.t. protesting the propaganda hundreds of israelis rally in the country's economic capital against what they see as the government's goal of the war in iran the. actual process in britain hit new highs the country's government prepares for another rice and tax on fuel dealing a major blow to small business. one teenager dead and sixty eight others injured you know aftermath of another riot in egypt between the military and fans enraged

with suspension of the club for two years and what happened in the six you know when it's real when i do crowds look streets were burning tires of the chief warning shots and tear gas suspension itself for those people fighting with one batch numbers month i saw some people with the police officers are already standing trial for disaster and many egyptians then complicity around. those davidson this history of west just as it says the country is truly on the brink. has no no standing law and order actually. that those state things are such. the government is not in control the priory is. not going to come out of its barracks unless contrived to. very very large way and so the populace

is essentially on its own and that means that when unpopular decisions are made you're going to get this sort of some twenty years kind of how erst of anger and there is no capacity to control it where is there any capacity to actually prevent the reasons for going there's no central control in egypt now. but egypt has unveiled the line up of a long awaited government panel tasked with creating a modern democratic and inclusive constitution so subject to confirmation that this does dominating the islamists something more liberal groups have warned against just over a year since the revolution there are fears that not all that much has changed how diliman could be poster boy for egypt's revolution young educated a t.v. talk show host and politically active he was among those whose protests on the two square told all the regime of president mubarak last year but like many others who

were on the streets with him he doesn't feel things in egypt have changed for the best. we were against mubarak as a person we were against the whole system against oppression and justice a lot of scare so they were program lucian their actions sure they're applying the same kick me used by here. the ruling military council or staff replaced hosni mubarak who gyptian is accused of corruption nepotism economic mismanagement and human rights abuse but a thorough look at scarce policies unveiled the situation eerily similar if not worse now you get proper that are suspended with live ammunition in the sort of rubber bullets as was the case in the last you get. more strikers who get referred to military thank you once other than what it is because in the last year you have more than thirteen thousand egyptian citizens who are processed on military wants

that's where you more than what one of the during his thirty years of war the streets of cairo teeming with tourists before their revolution are now considered an see even by those who have lived in the egyptian capital all their lives you can find than the police in the street and even in the there they don't really help and you know it's like a kind of they are punishing the people because the they're done the revolution so they're not doing their or their work they don't care about what happens and the deliberately neglecting their every single crime that is happening and they just didn't choose to turn their back and some believe revolutionary parties choose to turn their backs on the military council's questionable policies seemingly comfortable with the way things are. a lot of revolutionary forces sided with the military council and start leading deals in fourth all listens which give them more

ground and ignore them in demands of the revolution most of the political elite and rule lucian areas are looking at fixing things not changing. a real possibility now is the revolution entering a second stage this time prompted not just by the young and the educated but by the poor and the unemployed whose numbers have been steadily rising since the military council came to power and the situation is really getting worse and i believe that these people who are really suffering nowadays because they can't even. afford to work to feed there and there are there are families and these people are really they are going to lead to this crime. and the wave of the venetian if you can what you want to call it like a second wave of emotion and what is going to be really really aggressive and really really violent and loved these days that are three squares filled with vendors there in your cellars i don't know you and if you are tense but from time to time things get heated up again those who have spent their days there were nights here just they were all over a year ago when they all barrack regime say their job is far from over and their

emotions continue as it goes cards here cairo. so they had few in the program security breach dozens killed in a string of bomb attacks across iraq as al qaida exposes the continue the battle for the other legacy of. responsibility. two professors coarseness only you me by defending use of so called after her reactions. hundreds of people who rallied in television to protest what they see as a frenzy drive for war against iran by their own government campaigners fear the mounting pressure could escalate into all out conflict effects which would be disastrous correspondent paula slipper has been watching the protests unfold. this is the first demonstration of its kind and it comes after months of increasing by the israeli leadership what protesters here are saying is that the israeli prime minister has his own election campaign at heart and that is what is motivating him

because the ball down this way to a previous book you love if you the one is sincerely believing god here is the. going to mean to. destroy the iranian nuclear program this may seem so totally crazy in this direction and recent poll suggested that some fifty eight percent of israelis are against a military strike now the manson call this demonstration began about a week ago when an israeli couple launched a campaign on line in which they posted messages of support and love for a rainy and ordinary iranians responded with the only it's you just so if you look at facebook and other social network sites you see if you just like israel loves iran we are not at war with your country any rein in saying we love israel we are not of war with any one demonstrated in talking to say that the score by the israeli leadership is irresponsible it will only lead to large numbers of people being injured and hurt and it's not clear how or when any kind of military strike

iran will end but whether or not the israeli government will listen to the voice on the street remains to be seen policy r.t. tel aviv. use campaign against iran has intensified this week human rights not iran's nuclear activities having used to justify extensions of this as israel's spy agency mossad agree the cia iran is not developing nuclear weapons. consultant. says there's a certain see when it comes to scrutinizing iran's plans. since iraq we just cannot take seriously practically any american there gratian regarding alleged weapons of mass destruction as saddam hussein was supposed to have or iran's nuclear program had put myself in the shoes of the real leadership and if your country is threatened all the time if the only country with weapons of mass destruction nuclear bombs in the region is israel and israel threatens iran every other day

that is going to attack it unilaterally well i wouldn't be surprised if iran did think about militarizing their nuclear program why is it that the united states britain france can be trusted with nuclear weapons israel can be trusted with nuclear weapons while israel's behavior in the region even worldwide has been in the plural over the past decade however iran has to be practically erased off the map because they want to have a nuclear program. petrol prices in britain hit another record high comes out of the country's government on held its latest budget it was one criticised for. the rich. with reports that change is a small business seen as a key driver of the u.k.'s economy. creates tens of thousands of jobs at no cost what government could say no to you case coalition government apparently as it sticks to another rise 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 cents would get the economy motoring and could put one hundred seventy five thousand people back in work the creation of the jobs will take to go off important benefits and these jobs are more tax going it's money more money etc but they seem to be ignoring this and concentrating on things like fifty p. 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 pet in your garden it employs seven people full time and runs full bands in which engineers deliver fit and train pets to use the fences the guys can write in hampshire one day and then the next day depends on when the customer wants us personnel we have the increasing

the ha which obviously is going on top of fuel as well and then the actual fuel duty as well you can't keeping a screen at all angles forever around seventy percent of the economy is small business the government says it's depending on firms like 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 iranian oil embargo a staggering sixty percent is tax it's an easy but damaging way to raise money for projects is actually a very convenient tax for governments because it's. very difficult to avoid i mean one of the impacts is on labor mobility so how easy it is for people to travel to work or to jobs that might be travelling distance from the home so it actually can

increase unemployment quite markedly if you want to say it's too high it's a problem that bill says down into the entire economy ninety percent so everything we have in our homes offices in shops is delivered by lorry with fuel do you see so high haulage companies of course to pass those costs on to consumers resulting in higher prices for everything food clothes consumer goods piling yes more pressure on the recession hits british consumers norris may r.t. london. you can find more reports correspondence in britain that r.t. dot com including an employment blacklist but not wife lisa because of the been passing on information about construction workers. japanese authorities and the sheen are accused of deleting e-mails containing data to safely evacuated. these are. the details of.

russia's recent presidential election was the country's first to see webcams installed the polling stations it was designed to help ensure transparency in process can now be adapted for many uses where nazis. that could be. five hundred years worth of live video recorded on one single day was part of electing the next leader of russia web cameras were installed only polling stations to money tour any possible fraud but the relatively few violations were obvious shadowed by the payment provided. we've drilled the most advanced software to the most remote regions of russia if not for the elections it could take another five to ten years now we can do video conferences callers can be lectured by diverse professors from russia and abroad. that's just one of many ideas about how to use the two hundred fifty thousand cameras the interior

ministry's investigating a police station and present a trim and died from serious injuries sustained in custody a string of such incidents gives way to the argument that there can never be too much money train the all seeing eye all the webcam will make things harder to hide under the carpet than russia's police stations are so where critics have argued for a while we need to come under greater scrutiny and we are proposing a webcam should be installed in preliminary custody cells they should be directed on policeman on duty and in the rooms were suspects or questioned it would not violate the rights of those detained as their faces would be hard to read but it will save the detainees themselves from police abuse. meanwhile parents want to protect their children from another type of abuse corruption in schools with the annual nationwide state exams due to take place in june they are lobbying for classrooms to be equipped with c.c.t.v.

. it's crucial for us that all children during all types of exams on equal terms there had been numerous complaints in the past about unfair competition and there had been no proof now there will be. with any ideas on the table authorities have launched an official competition for the best project to use the costly equipment and with everyone allowed to have their say the people's big brother looks set to stay if the aggression of r t. bungees day iraq was rocked by a wave of coordinated car bombings and roadside blasts killing up to fifty people and injuring about two hundred fifty there has claimed responsibility for the violence saying it proved how weak iraq's security is ahead of next week's something there and it's also as a reminder of the past nine years of the u.s.

there again international lawyer and he sacrificed. the music and troops to help terrorists gain a foothold in the country to live in iraq he still see their country is occupied by a foreign forces. he's from many different. parts of society that are trying to remove those foreign forces the clear this is a ongoing situation that is part of some people started to ten years ago with the invasion and occupation of iraq but since that time because the government has not been able to exercise control over many parts of the country it's very fertile territory for different types of terrorist organizations to settle in and to be able to carry out the violent attacks don't create the mistake and there are still thousands of outside foreign forces particularly american soldiers on iraqi soil that are contributing they would say to security i would suggest to the situation

of insecurity. moving on that on the right to life has come under the spotlight in the u.k. after two professors advocating the use of so-called after birth abortions political journal which published the article says it's an academic discussion and have defended the debate but for some people the idea it's too close to home as artie's of a boner. surely through course was eight months pregnant when she found out her son would be born with down syndrome even as late as that the only advice she got was to have an abortion doctors tried to persuade her sam's condition would be a struggle not worth living but six years on the only struggle mother and child have had was ignoring that advice i was treated as if i'd just. say. it is very sad to think that they are the people who are giving advice their mothers they have a duty to everyone may take an eight to preserve life and they don't i looked at

them might i feel date field our children know where preserving they're not worth saving they're not that happy and that really is the case that stereotypes just been taken a whole lot further by two ethicists who argue it's ok to kill babies even after the born the controversial comments were published by the oxford educated professors in a leading british medical journal they dismiss newborns as potential and not actual persons they say killing them so no different to a normal prenatal abortion but critics branded infanticide ask the question is a newborn child any less of equal member of the human family than a member of the race or of one gender or the other the authors of stoked an ethical storm by advocating after birth abortions in all places even if the babies are not disabled the authors have now received death threats and say they were merely

making an academic discussion our job is to publish arguments for controversial issues so that people can in. the long run some of these issues are very complex and. for example i don't agree with. pollutions of the pig or i would like to defend people's right to express these and other people's rights to respond to them academic discussion or not the articles prompted outrage not only amongst pro-life groups but also mothers of children with disabilities who declined the option of abortion definitely seems to be a trend now it to stay that. in these children shouldn't be here it's not something terrible it's not awful just because it's not what you imagined doesn't mean it's not something fantastic because having salmon are life is amazing

absolutely amazing sam's a member of his local swimming club and plays football to seeing him here it's hard to believe how doctors could say his life would be a burden i've had bennett see london. recap our main stories for you after a short break here not in statements.
