9:01 am
thanks for joining are right now in moscow efforts to bring peace to syria are underway joint u.n. arab special envoy kofi annan is meeting a russian leaders with the kremlin's priorities being to end violence and get both sides in the conflict and talks more on the snow for margins peter all over peter russia has been a key participant in the syria discussions what's expected to come from kofi annan meetings. well kofi annan is currently in a meeting with president dmitri made good of having earlier with foreign minister sergei lavrov now in those meetings. russia being having been outlining its position over dolly how the situation in syria can be resolved now the key points when they saw that there must be a cease fire and that the only way that russia can see
9:02 am
a ceasefire achieved is through dialogue and that the guns must not be quite he keep finding their way into the hands of those rebels. russia saying that peace is basically you it's impossible unless that can be can be stopped now all of these things are all in the six point plan that was put forward by kofi annan now that also includes things like humanitarian aid being able to to reach the places where it's needed inside syria at least i say time put forward by by kofi annan to try and find peace there no the russians said coming out of that meeting with serbia lovelock we heard the foreign minister saying that russia supports a man's plan whether it will take time to be to be implemented now in syria itself how that plan's been received the. government seems to. be on side with it they're willing to do it here to some of the they seem to be willing
9:03 am
to talk about some of the the points in there however the opposition the opposition are based there outside of the country have dismissed this whole heartedly saying that they they won't be on board with that so it really seems that even if the this is an issue that has been put forward by russia as well that the major task at the minute is to get the opposition to the table to try and talk things through and see if the the plan that coconuts put forward can't lead us towards peace in syria what about other countries adding their views on syria tally with russia's. well over the last week we've seen the united nations unanimously agree with the with the plan that's been put forward by kofi annan something of a landmark there it's that we haven't seen anybody any unanimous agreement in the u.n. regarding syria really since the crisis first got under way now saying not though we are still hearing from countries like the united states they want to see regime change in syria that they want science out of power we've also seen have fresh
9:04 am
sanctions this week imposed on assad's and syria and his family as well by the way the european union so. seems to have mixed messages there although we are hearing this the united nations is always trying to involve their own side with the assad but it still seems to be an underlying push to try and get assad out of power and sticks to what had been previously the what has been for a long time now the if you point of countries like the united states on base in the european union now we're also hearing that there has been has been in fact supports coming in for the rebels also we are hearing not. the rebels may have received be receiving support in terms of arms as well as training from foreign countries not just in terms of kind words if you will of actually receiving hardware as well now russia's point of view on this has always been that it can't be
9:05 am
a one sided view taking on syria that both sides have to be. both sides in the in the struggle had the crisis of a hard half to put down their arms and come to the table to talk and said we love rolph with morning this. as he said this they are on side with the plan that's being put forward by kofi annan. every effort must be made not to to rail this plan to allow it to try and achieve peace in the country all right artist peter oliver and moscow. the u.s. has praised the u.n. security council unity behind the announcement as a positive step towards ending serious crisis but activists are worried over washington's habit of reading between the lines when it comes to resolutions so as we've seen in the past what the u.s. government does is it takes these what seem to be innocuous nice sounding resolutions and then drives you know a mack truck through them and says oh well this justifies military intervention
9:06 am
this justifies bombing attacks and no fly zones and so forth i would assume that the russians are going to be very cautious about the wording of their resolution but but i think we should keep in mind that no matter what they do with these these resolutions these interventions they always end up with a worse situation where there's much more death and destruction is so forth if there is intervention my position is just leave this to the syrians to resolve it's led to the disastrous consequences we see in iraq and afghanistan elsewhere around the world where people despise the u.s. and that's why some of us are saying it's time to dismantle this whole regime change foreign policy of interventionism in under cleared wars. a little light at the end of the tunnel in syria the chief warring now is that it could plunge into all out civil war and deep sectarian splinters in the country it's a prospect it's already having chilling consequences beyond syria's borders as

a son of quaker explains. it's an arab cd on the mediterranean pancham for everything. lebanese tripoli looks a lot like its libyan namesake and increasingly it's being drawn into the revolutionary violence it's home to 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 alawite and sunni communities here in tripoli exactly named the syria 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 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 raise money to put out this impromptu memorial to the leader and the countries they consider their protectors.
9:08 am
frankly russia there is also no second guessing on whom they consider their anime america but the euphemism for american interests you don't kubrick 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 about maybe half an hour and everything in. with the weapons going from here and on to syria we going from we're going to. hear from jordan from there 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 to homs province and some like muhammad don't hide their affiliation with to free syrian army he's take 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 victory you still have time to make the right choice. the hospitals administrator shows us some of about five hundred patients they've treated since the uprising began. allegedly committed by assad's regime amount to crimes against humanity but when i ask him whether the revolution is worth all the suffering and destruction his response is not exactly humanitarian we have many destruction we have more than i

9:12 am
really a little is a later because. they don't feel like french people think that the french and when they go back to jail you for example they are despised by the local population because they don't speak and because they don't know their culture so in a way they are really good on both sides and they turn to aggression and maybe religion as a substitute for another culture in france because of sarkozy's past polices economic policies that the group doesn't exist so you have a lot of people in the prisons of the immigrants and immigrants feel that they are not welcome so they turn to agra soup actions as france continues to reel from the deadly attacks pakistani intelligence says dozens more french muslims are following in iraq but steps and are training with the taliban we more on our website are.

talk show host and politically active he was among those whose protests on the two square toppled 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 it was a long time one we were in against mubarak as a person we were against the whole system against oppression and injustice a lot of scarcity we're programmed lucian their actions sure they're applying the same taken eeks used by him. the ruling military council or staff replaced hosni mubarak who rejections accused of corruption and nepotism economic mismanagement and human rights abuse but a thorough look at scarce policies unveiled a situation eerily similar if not worse now you get proper start are suspended with live ammunition in a sort of rubber bullets as was the case in the past you get they were strikers who get referred to military tribunals of the records in the past two years you have

a lot of revolutionary forces sided with the military council and some leading deals and for evolutions was given more ground and ignore them in demands of the revolution most of the political and lucian areas are looking at fixing things not changing that. 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 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 are there are families these people are really there are going to leave this crime. wave of admission if you can what you want to call it like a second wave of what is going to be really really aggressive and really really violent and bloody these days that are three squares filled with vendors to the nearest sellers idle youth and

a bomb for some experts the pressure could have precisely the opposite effect. since iraq we just cannot take seriously practically any american decoration regarding alleged weapons of mass destruction as saddam hussein was supposed to have or iran's nuclear program i put myself in the shoes of a 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 there is going to attack it unilaterally well i wouldn't be surprised if you did about militarizing their nuclear program why is it that the united states britain france could be trusted with nuclear weapons israel could be trusted with nuclear weapons whilst israel's behavior in the region even worldwide has been deplorable over the past decades however iran has to be practically erased off the map because they want to have

a nuclear program activists rallied in the streets of tel aviv in protest against israeli governments for war with iran campaigners fear a military conflict would be catastrophic for the entire region our correspondent wealth leader was at the protest. this is the first demonstration of its kind and it comes after months of increasing warwick 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 polls on this the way to include his book you love it he does the one sincerely believing god hears they're. going to. destroy the iranian nuclear program yes maybe some totally crazy in this direction and recent poll suggested that some fifty eight percent of israelis are against a military strike now to manson all this demonstration began about a week ago when an israeli couple launched a campaign online in which they posted messages of support and love for your brain
9:21 am
your ordinary iranians responded with the only suggest so if you look at facebook and other social network sites you see messages like israel loves iran we are not of war with your country any rain in saying we love this well we are not at war with anyone demonstrators have been talking to say that the score by the israeli leadership is irresponsible it will need to large numbers of people being injured and hurt and it's not clear how or when any kind of military strike with 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 petrol prices in britain have had another record high comes after the country's government unveiled its latest budget which was widely criticized for serving the interests of the rich and as archie's laura smith reports the changes could adversely our 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 is 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 because of the jobs would take off. 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 so and towards chapman run a company which sells and installs fences to keep your pet in your garden it employs seven people full time and runs four vans in which engineers deliver pits
