but you thousands of nuclear security summit. on the parties. today's news and the stories that shape the week from r.t. kofi annan peace mission could be the last chance for syria to avoid a civil war russia or outlines its output of a conflict of the peace envoy here in moscow. in france the murder of seven people in toulouse by a man of algeria origin puts the country under the spotlight as experts highlight the dangerously widespread social exclusion of minority. china is the time it is the most you punishment for bad behavior barack obama's promise to north korea if it goes ahead with a controversial satellite launch next month we'll look at what's behind the

increased pressure on the young yang from washington. hello there for a good morning for me kevin owen here in moscow it is now one am you're watching the weekly round for the main news of the last seven days and russia says coffee and peace efforts could be the last chance for syria to avoid plunging into a long lasting and bloody civil war and joint u.n. arab special envoy and the russian president of held talks here in moscow sunday to discuss ending the violence and to get both sides in the conflict to talk peter all of a follow that meeting. kofi annan his is the author of a a six point plan to try and bring around peace in the country now included in this in this plan a universal ceasefire also 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 to me to get of saying just how important the anon plan could be to the future of syria. for syria this could be the last chance to avoid a protracted and bloody civil war very much hope that your mission will be successful we will provide you with any assistance necessary not only level and on the way of course and russians capable of providing the requirement support. well for his part kofi annan 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 the the main emphasis should be on getting the opposition to get to the table and

saying peace was impossible in syria as long as storing the weapons were making their way and help was making its way towards the rebels 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 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 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 choose it's being sung . if you will by the international community you know was also reports that the rebels have been receiving not just support in terms of woods from foreign countries but they could actually be receiving weapons and training on the ground

russia has warned against taking sides in that the syria crisis saying that both sides have to be looked at also warning against the railing of the peace plan chummy no one middle east expert from sudan to college at oxford university told me that opposition groups projecting kofi announce plans may soon find themselves isolated the external based office ition which is largely supported by external players and doesn't have natural constituencies in syria may be completely sidetracked in the seat six six point plan i think that's a positive development. the plan actually specifically says that the opposition should enter into dialogue with the regime and i'm not i'm wondering if that was not. placed there to maybe sidetrack the external opposition who have not been able to get their act together and increasingly are it seems being represented

by the muslim brotherhood russia is clearly taking the lead in efforts to help create some time and space for the syrian government to move along with reforms that initiated last spring and of course it's supported heavily by a number of developing countries particularly with the brics even some regional players like iran so it's very critical in fact that russia is taking the lead in helping you move into the next phase of the syrian crisis. so a little light at the end of the tunnel in syria right now the chief worry is that it could plunge into an all out civil war and deep sectarian splinters in the country too it's a prospect indeed it's already having chilling consequences beyond syria's borders as art is xander beutler explains next. it's an air of c.g. on the mediterranean with pancham for everything. lebanese tripoli looks a lot like its libyan namesake and increasingly it's being drawn into develop

aleutian violence it's home to stars it will alawite and sunni communities 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 happening in the mysterious street and attitudes to what's happening there why it's lebanese more than anything else this country stands to lose the most from the distance aggression of its neighbor. came just a few weeks ago when one night bullets started to flow across the street the clashes claim dillard's of two people and pushed the rest deeper into their ideological trenches residents of these awards raise money to put out this impromptu memorial to the leader and the countries they consider their protectors. thank you russia there is also no second guessing on whom they consider their anime america's like a euphemism for american interests. human rights of freedom. serious

ruling baath party has its regional office here its chiefs 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 maybe half an hour ok and everything. from. going from going. from jordan from there from. across the street in a hospice. run by a sunni charity attitudes are striking with different most of the patients here are young men from the homs province and some like muhammad don't hide their affiliation to get free syrian army his 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 but. 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 when i ask him whether their revolution is worth all the suffering and destruction his response is not exactly humanitarian where we have many destruction and we have. no more than eleven thousand here. i think the old bird evolution has to pay some.

something. with. changing to better life to keep the two warring communities apart the lebanese government has dispatched an army contingent to the cd quality resemblance of the libyan capital lebanese tripoli is still trying hard to avoid the libyan scenario at some point artsy tripoli lebanon. if you're following the story just let you know as well i'm sure be interested to hear that the lebanese foreign minister speaks to us at r.t. to tell us what he thinks should be done with the syrian rebels why they should lay down their arms it's coming up next is quick preview of what he had to say. it's fighting against the government being financed supplied with weapons we hear calls for military intervention coming from within syria as well as internationally we see one party in a concrete fact the other party's position being supported to fight the government

a political transformation is not to be achieved by force pilots produces more violence every country has its political opposition if you feel the world with a push for its agenda through violence of the world will go up in flames. but the big story we're following closely today protests have continued egypt has portside football fans vented their fury over two years suspension that was slapped on their club parlance a day earlier saw one teenager shot dead and sixty eight others injured as the military clashed with the angry crowds now the decision to suspend the club followed the worst stadium disaster in egypt's history when seventy four people were killed rioting last month a number of police officers have been charged over the tragedy with many egyptians blame lax security as opposed to middle eastern history professor lawrence davis said thinks they'll be no clear end in sight yet because he says there's no one taking charge of the situation. egypt has no no standing law and

order actually. there those things are so much that the government is not in control of the higher he is. not going to come out of it barracks unless control to. very very large way and so the populace. it is essentially on its own and that means that unpopular decisions are really you're going to do it's the sort of spontaneous kind of outburst of anger and there is no has the you control it where is there any has to be to actually prevent the reasons for it there's no central control in egypt now for the fragile process of creating egypt's new constitution is already showing serious signs of discord with lawmakers storming out of

a key parliamentary vote over who's set to write it and drafting panel will press on regardless later this week even though liberal m.p. said the group dominated by islamists a middle east correspondent paula sleep as the story. after one hundred members fifty are parliamentarians and of the fifty eight thirty seven come from islamic parties are the remaining fifty who are public figures here too the islamists have a comfortable majority there is a small minority of christians of women and of activists who participated in the revolutionary movement that ousted the former egyptian president hosni mubarak last year but as i say it's a minority and so what we're hearing from these liberal nor make is that you cannot have a permanent constitution that is drafted by only one stick to of the population a stick to one and majority in only one election at the same time we do know that the panel will have six months to write this new constitution it will replace

a nine hundred seventy one constitution that was abolished when mubarak was ousted and once the constitution is written it will be put to a vote in a national referendum and it will need to determine the balance of power between the previously all powerful president and parliament at the same time it will need to map out the future identity of egypt in terms of the role of religion and minority rights now earlier this month the lower house of parliament unanimously adopted a text that chord is roll public enemy number one of egypt also called for the expulsion of the israeli ambassador for the stopping of all egypt's an oil and gas exports to israel and also for review of all previous agreements between cairo and television so it's all too is increasingly alarmed over the growing is a stronghold in the government and this is an alarm that has been expressed elsewhere in the region so the question that people really are asking is what kind

of egypt is replacing that of hosni mubarak well this one will be closely followed for you coming up here on the program in the most couple of minutes with the e.u. preparing to impose of but on a rail you know. oil imports this summer britain's petrol prices are hitting new highs but the government still driving up fuel tax even motorists and businesses fuming and broke or that in just a couple of minutes here. also flash of inspiration for russia's aleck shouldn't cameras just weeks after keeping a fair eye on the presidential poll we look at how the costly web cam network can open the shutters on a new lease of life. bahrain has been caught up in fresh violence this week as anti regime rallies are ruptured in the fierce clashes with security forces throughout the country the opposition claims two people were killed in the rest rubber bullets and tear gas being dispersed rallies in the capital and some other main shia towns opposition parties claimed the two victims of the

violence died after inhaling tear gas and the true forces of the accused of killing scores of protestors and the rest of thousand since an anti-government revolt began last year global research correspondent finian telling him says western nations are reluctant though to get involved in a situation because it doesn't serve their interests. who lives. there is not interested in seeing all the you know and all the leads are needed. for the we're all solution very good and a critical and still serving you do battle with just a very selective focus all. those things and completion and who is all these were suits that were suggested to do resumes and using this in syria. really is virtually no one washington or london unto the west doing green is doing everything in its core to try to win our troops just against the on the syrian regime were as

in bahrain and since then the region which is very much indeed porous and be firmly ensconced there are going to be in. during a tense thirty two hour siege this last week french police shot dead the gunman in toulouse and murdered seven people mohammad merah kill three children and a teacher a jewish school as well as three soldiers frenchmen of all deer in the same shot over twenty times officers who tried to. claim ties to al qaeda and underwent training in afghanistan french intelligence have been watching over some time with security forces now been criticized for not acting earlier his brother meantime who said he was proud of mir is actions was in court on sunday and is charged with complicity in the murder is political analyst alex korbel spoke to us and says france is attitudes towards migrants may lead them down a path of violence now the french arabs in france are really

a little is a later because. they don't feel like french they don't think they'll be our french and when they go back to jail you know for example they are this plays by the local population because they don't speak arabic and because they don't know the culture so in a way they are really. on both side and turn to. aggression and maybe religion as a substitute for for an answer strolled culture in france because of such sarkozy's perced polices economic policies the the gross doesn't exist so you have a lot of people resent the presence of the immigrants and immigrants feel that they are not welcome so their turn to aggressive actions. and his friends continued to reel from those deadly attacks of pakistani intelligence saying dozens more french muslims are following in mirror's footsteps and the training with the taliban will

get up to speed on a bit more we've got all the details in our website. also protested the rest more occupy activists see their peaceful demonstrations and in detention as fourteen are held in new york we've got the footage online at r.t. dot com. u.s. president barack obama's threat to punish north korea for what he described as bad behavior his comments were made in the south korean capital seoul ahead of a nuclear summit which kicks off on monday above i was referring to a planned satellite launch by pyongyang next month which many fear is the skies missile test card affairs radio host and author steven levin told me that washington needs a threat in the region to maintain its presence there. there's no matter whether he's in asia here in africa or in america or in europe he is saber rattling he is complaining about other nations one corner is wrong with north

korea or anybody else it didn't seem to acknowledge he has to use north korea wants to launch a satellite but he will manage an unstable western country one of the largest there a way to washington who would claim the polish or its their beards as the new weapon against the really developing one range missiles which they have a leader in somalia i think we're watching the women who korea north korea because they are tired of watching and it must pay for their sins the who are more tools obama being the speech if you want to go over the highway to to cause the world. needs to be present in. the middle east it's not the failed enough little bottle was there before our more the other here he said east asia he had one country in this show had another child in all of that america is there is this name troops were remains i believe in austria yes oh twenty five hundred they believe the

period controversial me will be. in korea koreans have been protests before most of our. they want to do it china grows with polio and china is the target korea is the poaching there. and the noose is also tightening around iran with the imposing a new batch of sanctions last friday this time for alleged human rights violations as part of a growing campaign against iran over its nuclear activities even though israel spy agency and the cia reportedly agree that iran is not developing a bomb some experts think the pressure on the islamic republic will cook but fun. since iraq which is cannot take seriously practically any american there gratian regarding alleges weapons of mass destruction or 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 for iran and every other day those 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 whilst 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 and the e.u. preparing them to impose about iranian oil imports this summer petrol prices of britain have already hit all time highs this last week the hikes being filled by new duties announced in the budget by the british government and as artie's laura smith reports the changes could further hit small businesses the business is seen as an engine of the whole you care colony. creates tens of thousands of jobs at no

cost what government could say no big 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 would take off the goal of important benefits and these jobs would be creating more tax going out spending more money etc they seem to be ignoring this and concentrating on things like fifty three top rate of income tax for the rich but meanwhile small business is found so 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 for vans in which engineers deliver fit and

train pets to use the fences the guys can reckon how to share one day and then the next day it appends on when the customer wants us first of all we have the increase in the ha which obviously is going on top of fuel as well and then the extra 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 them he says the price of fuel is throttling them 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 is actually a very convenient tax for governments because it's less. 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 actually get new jobs there might be some travelling distance from home so it actually can increase unemployment quite markedly if you want to see is too high it's a problem that bill says down into the entire economy ninety percent of everything we have in our homes offices and shops is delivered by lorry with fuel do you see so high haulage companies are forced to pass those costs on to consumers resulting in higher prices for everything food clothes consumer goods piling yet small press recession hit british consumers north me r.t. london. now if you want sure election coverage over the last month you'll recall a quarter of a million web cams are installed all over russia to provide maximum transparency in a presidential election and it wasn't cheap and now every citizen can have his or her say on how to use the cost of equipment as authorities launch an official competition for the best idea. show reports.

those videos went viral from cultural dancing in chechnya some plies impressive workouts five hundred years worth of life video recorded on one single day was part of electing the next leader of russia what cameras were installed at all polling stations don't want to tour any possible fault but the relatively few violations were overshadowed by the ins taman provided some had already doubts the election the most expensive live show in russia's history the. most advanced software to the most remote regions of russia now we can do video conferences call is going to lecture by the best professors for aggression and up rude. that's just one of many ideas about how to use the two hundred fifty thousand cameras and while russians may still be undecided who they want to keep an eye on they definitely want to

control not entertain the all seeing eye of the web cam will make things harder to hide under the carpet and russia's police stations are somewhere kwikset argued for a while we need to come under greater scrutiny but tickler after several people died recently probably injuries received while in for labor. i suggest we should move cameras from polling to police stations would not violate the rights of those detained as their faces would be hard to reduce 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

that will do their tests without help. there had been numerous complaints in the castle about unfair competition that there had been no proof now there will be. 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 b. drag their looks set to stay if you grandchildren are t.v. . to. come up bit later in the program or sometimes lethal journey of the people who battled the nuclear weapons but we've got a special report continuing tonight just a couple of minutes we're going to show you part of one of it up after a wrap up of our top story sort of tea from moscow and this quick break.

with the end of the core war and the going away of the soviet union many people thought that nuclear weapons disappeared. the risk is not zero something that might be going off by mistake specialist sound of the nuclear weapons on hair trigger alert. but because of a difference to use it a day as it's written all as an echo of it but you know if you keep spending a trillion dollars

a year on weapons of eventually you're going to blow everybody up you can't you know people are dying from these weapons but until we actually see it people don't wake up to nuclear weapons or build the new group. that represents all of the firepower of the second world war and this second sounds is the equivalent of firepower of the world's nuclear arsenal today. from. lose. sleep sleep. to .
