thanks for joining r t russia says kofi announced peace efforts could be the last chance for syria to avoid plunging into a long lasting bloody civil war the joint u.n. arab special envoy and the russian president have just talks in moscow to discuss ending the violence and to get both sides in the conflict into talks more or less from the parties peter all see that russia has been a key participant in the syria discussions what's been said. well kofi annan has been in moscow holding talks with president dmitry medvedev as well as foreign minister sergei lavrov talking about the call going quite as syria now kofi annan is the author of a six point plan to try and bring around peace in the country now included in this this plan a universal cease fire also that humanitarian aid be allowed to. get

into those parts of syria that need it most also that dialogue take place between the sides in the ongoing crisis there now during that meeting to present dmitri medvedev saying just how important the anon plan could be to the future of syria. for syria describing the last chance to avoid a protracted and bloody civil war we very much hope that your mission will be successful we will provide you with any assistance necessary out on the level and in any way of course and russia is capable of providing the requirement support. well for his part kofi anon has said that he hopes for russia's assistance and advice in going about putting his plan into place now. the assad government seems to be willing to go to the table to have talks so russia have made the point of

saying that the main emphasis should be on getting the opposition onside to get to the table and try and discuss their grievances russia going on saying peace was impossible in syria as long as its foreign weapons were making their way in and help was making its way towards the rebels allowing them to. to to continue fighting against the against the government now represents it is have been in damascus holding talks with the assad government and it looks like it is a sin. a tentative plan at the moment it looks like there is some headway being made their way as far as the government goes however the syrian opposition which is based outside of the country's borders has dismissed outright the plan put it it's been put forward by kofi annan saying that they don't want any part of it now what about other countries how do their views on syria tally with russia as. well we heard from the united nations in the last week saying that they supported kofi

annan proposals really a landmark when it comes to syria being discussed in the u.n. that everybody was singing from the same song sheet everybody on side saying that the ideas sure the way that we should be going forward however we're still hearing from countries like the u.s. they say that they want to see regime change in syria that they want assad to be forced out we've also seen fresh sanctions imposed by the e.u. on syria in the last week as well so it is a mixed bag when it comes to the response and as far as the. signing if you will by the international community now is also reports that the rebels have been receiving not just support in terms of words from from foreign countries but they'd actually be receiving weapons and and training on the ground also we're hearing that russia . has said that they've they've warned the post site should be involved and that no

one side should be should be vilified in this trying to develop a peace process both sides should be looked at us every step must be made by the international community not to derail any potential police peace plan with their report parties here all over in moscow. reaction now from his jobber of the director of the beirut based center for middle east studies mr jobber just now just how important is today's meeting in moscow for getting movement on syria. we don't know exactly what mr coffee anon brought to moscow. but we learned that. they can concentrate that. syria put very hard. and they say the syrian army. and serbs around to lay down their weapons

and ask what terms block to support their stop their support to the answers or to the opposition military support and financial support and so on so and i think coffee and i'm trying to moscow today yesterday and today is discussion asking moscow to put pressure on the syrian regime to be flexible and its conditions and. as you said in your report this is the last chance for them of presently i'm sorry to say i am not that optimistic because that would succeed because they are asking for a ceasefire to respect the ceasefire from only one side if you talk about ceasefire but. two sides if syria will accept the conditions of the initial reports. the corporation. who can guarantee that that's

why from different time we will respect such a decision and. respect the ceasefire and they will not take advantage from a cease fire from the government side to gain positions on the land. and i think kofi annan they supported me from the whole but. if you can make any mechanism on the land you don't see any support for him from the block from the west and and out. from the other person who. could be more school gave initiative more you said from day one that the only solution the mistress and the dialogue more school of to the table of the day i logged and was ready for the both sides and to sponsor it and know. what it will

help. and if. i'm sorry to interrupt you but so you're saying kofi announce peace plans they do have wide global backing why do you think the syrian opposition is so reluctant to accept them. i don't see any syrian opposition syrian opposition are divided and you have the syrian inside who are. the opposition inside you have the syrian outside who are divided and you go back to but you find. so-called free syrian army which i'm not sure it would obey to the syrian opposition outside and beside the free syrian army you have many of insurgent you have. and sadr who came from iraq from georgia from libya. the question is who can control those people on the. syrian government

is able to spread its promise but those the other side who is divided and no one can help to give the structure. we heard today for example from america they don't want very easy to state what if they can who are distribution. free will not succeed from the beginning and we heard today. yesterday from foreign minister of germany for the affairs. who said that the syrian regime cannot count on your score to protect itself what it does mean i think the timing is not convenient for such statements from the german side all of the obvious let me be pessimistic about any success for. their mission or initiative of course here and. like you said in your.

eyes before we go into a civil war. i'm so sorry to interrupt you but that's all the time we have his job or the director of beirut based center for middle east studies thank you. thank you matt. with little light at the end of the tunnel in syria the chief worry now is that it could plunge into all out civil war and deep sectarian splinters in the country it's a prospect that's already having chilling consequences beyond syria's borders as a boycott explains. it's an air of c.g. 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 is up to 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 yet another proof 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 raised money to put out this impromptu memorial to their leader and the countries they consider their protectors . thank you russia there is also no second guessing on whom they consider their anime america like a euphemism for american interests. 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 is from europe. and the. everything in our i mean with the weapons going from living on the syria we see going from lebanon. from jordan from their people 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 mohammad don't hide their affiliation if it be 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 victory you still have time to make the

right choice. 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 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 where we have many destruction and we have more than i can no more than eleven thousand we hear. i think. evolution has to pay some. something. with. development and changing. of life. to keep the two warring communities apart levees government has dispatched

an army contingent to the cd for all its resemblance of the libyan capital lebanese tripoli is still trying hard to avoid the libyan scenario it's not going to see tripoli levanon western nations are being accused of blinkered version on the subject of violent crackdowns against protesters with the u.s. and its allies turning a blind eye to clashes in another arab country. later this hour we report on how peaceful anti regime demonstrations across bahrain were met with police rubber bullets and tear gas leading to more civilian casualties. during a tense a thirty two hour siege this week french police shot and killed the gunman and loose who had murdered seven people mohamed merah killed three children and a teacher at a jewish school as well as a three soldiers frenchmen are valid theory and descent was shot more than twenty times by officers as we tried to escape through his apartment window he'd claim

ties to al qaida and underwent training in afghanistan french intelligence had been watching morocco for some time and is being criticized for not acting earlier his brother who said he was proud of maracas actions was in court on sunday and is expected to face charges of being an accomplice political analyst alex korbel says france's attitudes towards migrants may lead them down a path of violence. the french are absent from. really little is related because they. don't feel like french. french and when they go back to for example they are displaced by the local population because it will speak and because they don't know the culture so you know wait they are really on the side and their turn to. maybe religion as

a substitute for an ancestral culture in france because of sarkozy's perced police seize they can make police seize the the groups doesn't exist so you have a lot of people in the prisons of the immigrants and the immigrants feel that they are not welcome so they turn to a group suited actions as friends continues to reel from the deadly attacks pakistani intelligence service and dozens more french muslims are following in iraq's footsteps and are training with the taliban we've got more a lot on our website r t v dot com. the u.s. president barack obama has threatened to punish north korea for what he described as bad behavior but comments were made in the south korean capital seoul where here i have to have a nuclear summit which kicks off on monday a u.s. president referred to a plan satellite launch by pyongyang next month which many countries fear is a disguise missile test washington warns the launch could jeopardize a food aid deal to the country and draw further sanctions for more on the story i'm

joined by professor gregory clark an international affairs commentator based in japan mr clark why is such harsh rhetoric from the u.s. president now. one who's. the forum is immediately after this seemingly significant breakthrough in the state with twenty nine and talks between the united states and north korea which resulted in the north korean agreement to suspend. implement a moratorium on long range missile launches and also on uranium enrichment activities now this rocket is if it's generally to build it so while. it's quite likely that is the long range and the sa and which case. contributes agreement of february ninth so that's one reason for going with another coincidence

in that agreement which i thought was quite important president a breakthrough in relations. was criticized by the republican party candidates in the united states and obama is very sensitive to any criticism that he is weak towards north korea and is will we truly a lose lose in this so here's another reason for barack obama north korea will achieve nothing by threats or provocations does not seem like that's exactly what he's doing at the moment i mean it isn't a fact of strategy for washington. but rather. well the u.s. has consistently been. sure it's a closing three storm. criticisms against north korea and. north koreans who. killed since the united states

i'm surprised you must realize they would be the answer to your problem usually. it goes. how many years have you coming just for this conference and you could secure it protrudes glu conference with. killing in south korea this weekend. and we really wanted to create as you say. so korean and if it. were. at this particular time and i think they know your anger is going to react so strongly. that's all the time we have thank you gregory clark chapin bass professor and international affairs commentator thank you. the noose is also tightening around iran where pretty you imposing

a new batch of sanctions on friday best time for allegedly human rights violations it's part of a growing campaign against iran over its nuclear activities even though israel's spy agency analysts cia reportedly agree that iran is not developing a bomb for some experts the pressure could help or slightly the opposite effect. since iraq we just cannot take seriously practically any american there gratian regarding alleged weapons of mass destruction as hussein was supposed to 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 there 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 says israel's behavior in the region even worldwide has

been the plural over the past decades however iran has to be practically erased off the map because they want to have a nuclear program activists have rallied in the streets of tel aviv in protest against the israeli government's calls for war with iraq campaigners fear a military conflict would be catastrophic for the entire region our correspondent policy player was our last. this is the first demonstration of its kind and it comes after months of increasing war with prick 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 it is the board on this equate with love if he does that one is that sincerely believing that he is still a call appointment and wishing destroy the iranian nuclear program the best may see some totally crazy in this direction and recent polls suggested that some fifty

eight percent of israelis are against a military strike now the manson for the statement straight from 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 brain young ordinary iranians responded with the only suggest so if you look at facebook and other social network sites you'll see messages like it's run labs in iran we are not a war with all countries any rainy and saying we love this well we're not at war with anyone 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 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. find more reports from our correspondents in britain r t dot com including the fueling controversy. the british government is under fire for

critical and still serving in june the bible we have a very selective focus all your writings and. this is all the conditions were suggested to do. this in syria. zircon you know what. i'm to do with this is doing. is doing everything and to try to. prove just against the all the syrian regime were insistent that it was very lucky to have these important be for you. and make up a world covered at r t with a wealth of stories for you protests and over more occupy activists see their peaceful demonstrations and in detention. as fourteen are held in new york about a foot it is our lie right now our teacher. was the cutting edge camera that's catching criminals in japan as it scans millions of faces in just

a few seconds to tell you how it functions that archita. the fragile process of creating egypt's new constitution is already hitting the buffers with lawmakers storming out of a key parliamentary vote about who will draft it about a world press on regardless later this week even though liberal m.p.'s say the groups dominated by islamists as arena goalscorer ports the squabbling is yet another sign for japan's that their year old revolution has ground to a halt hollow diliman could be a 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 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. and we were in against mubarak as a person we were against the whole system against oppression and justice

a lot of scarcity were probably lucian their actions should be applying the seem to me 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 scarfs policies unveiled a situation eerily similar if not worse blow you get caught those that are suspended with live ammunition in a sort of rubber bullets as was the case in the courts you get. more strikers who get the referred to military three bureaus of and what it accords in the past two years you have more than thirteen thousand egyptian citizens who got processed on military honors that's where you more than what the world did during this thirty years of all of the streets of cairo teeming with tourists before the revolution are now considered and see even by those who have lived in the egyptian capital all their lives you can't find the police in the street and even if they are there they

don't truly help and you know it's like a kind of they are punishing the people because they are the of done the revolution so they're not doing their or their work where they don't care about what happens and deliberately neglecting their every single crime that is happening and they're just their choice to turn their back and some really revolutionary parties choose they turned their backs on the military council is questionable policies seemingly comfortable with the way things are. and so her blood of revolutionary forces sided with the military council and started making deals and form evolutions was given more ground and ignore them in demands of the room from most of the political elite and looking at fixing things and 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 and the economic 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 and these people are really there are going to leave this current. wave of revolution if you can what you want to call it like a second wave of revolution but it's going to be really really aggressive and really really violent and bloody these days that are serious where it's filled with vendors really are sellers idle youth and the food sales but from time to time things get heated up again those who have spend their days and nights here are just a little over a year ago barack regime see their job is far from over and their revolution continues then goes quiet to cairo. on our main stories in just a few moments stay with us.
