the but. today's news and the stories that shaped the week the russian president has not put his full support to the u.n. arab league envoy species mission in syria saying it may be the last chance to avoid a prolonged and bloody civil war that as kofi annan jimmy trinidad's helpful exhausted . also this hour in france they murder of seven people in toulouse by a man of all cheering origin puts the country under the spotlight as acts that highlights the dangerously widespread social exclusion of minorities. chances are you could really use the budget. around punishment for bad behavior that barack obama's promise to north korea if it goes ahead with

a controversial satellite launch next month look at what's behind the chris pressure on pm junk. you're watching archies weekly review hello and welcome to the program first to russia says coffee announced these efforts could be the last chance for syria to avoid plunging into long lasting bloody civil war they joined u.n. arab league special envoy and the russian president had talks in moscow to discuss ending the violence and to get both sides of the conflict to talk obviously one of the has and following the 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 this plan a universal ceasefire. that humanitarian aid be allowed to. get into those parts of syria need it most also

a dialogue take place between the sides in the ongoing crisis there now during that meeting their prison dmitri medvedev 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 we very much hope that our mission will be successful we will provide you with any assistance necessary not only level and in a new way of course is capable of providing the required support. well for his part kofi annan has said that he hopes for russia's assistance and advice and going about putting his plan into place now the assad government seem 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 to get to the table but to go and say peace was impossible in syria as long as storing 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. that say that they want to see regime change in syria that they want a science 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 we have a mixed bag when it comes to the response and as far as the choose it's being signed. if you will by the international community no it's also reports that the rebels have been receiving not just support in terms of words from foreign countries but actually be receiving weapons and and training on the ground russia has warned against taking one side of the syria crisis saying that both sides have

to be looked at also warning against the railing of the peace plan. and middle east blog that karl sharon learned things the west has no firm idea but pushing syria back on track while six point plan could lead to a peaceful finish what allowed the struggle to become a protracted one and for syria to take such a particular path is the fact that there's no coherent opposition leadership has emerged and aside from the fact there are political division there isn't one political authority that has control over. the r. and groups where the. f.s.a. the free syrian army or other groups on the ground they haven't been able to expand their support base within the country and they haven't been able to unify politically and that's kind of what explains this inability to. sort of reaction the west doesn't have any syria it's been very but it doesn't really have

a clear plan of action and you saw the sanctions by you i mean then really it's a joke it's it's sort of when you don't have any other initiatives or any other pressure to apply this kind of sanctions on the president's wife and his mother so all of that the lack of ideas in the western about what to do in syria and i think where it's significant is russia seizing the initiative. on a certain passed way. well there is a light at the end of the tunnel in syria the chief warren now is that it could plunge into an all out civil war and deep sectarian splinters in the country so it's a profit that's already having chilling consequences beyond syria's borders as xander boyko explains. it's an air of c.t. on the mediterranean good attention for everything. lebanese tripoli looks a lot like it's libya 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 with 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. came just a few weeks ago when one night bullets started to flow across the street the clashes clean bill lives of two people and pushed the rest deeper into their ideological trenches residents of these alawite suburb raised money to put out of this impromptu memorial to the leader and the countries they consider their protectors but it was on the thank you russia there is also no second guessing on whom they consider that anime america like freedom is

a euphemism for american interests we don't care a bit more 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 here about maybe half an hour and the everything you know we're. going from. going from one percent. from jordan from there from. across the street in a hospice. run by a sunni charity attitudes are strikingly different most of the patients here are young men from behind province and some like muhammad don't hide their affiliation

to be different 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 they will cut all ties with them once their revolution reaches its victory would you still have time to make the right choice but. the hospitals administrator shows us some of about five hundred patients they've treated since the uprising began. allegedly committed by assad's regime and mounted crimes against humanity but when i ask him where the developer lucian is worth all the suffering and destruction his response is not exactly humanitarian where we have many destruction and we have more than. more than eleven thousand we hear. i think. evolution has to pay some.

something. with. changing. life to keep the two warring communities apart the lebanese 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 lebanon. and later this hour the lebanese foreign minister tells r.c. why if things syrian rebels should lay down their arms and here's a quick preview of what's coming your way. over a saudi groups fighting against the government being financed supplied with weapons we hear calls for military intervention coming from within syria as well as internationally where we see one party in a conflict being backed against the other teams with the opposition being supported

to fight the government of a political transformation is not to be achieved by force pilots produces more violence every country has its political opposition if you have your position movements in the world with a push for its agenda through violence the world will go up in flames and you know . protests have continued in egypt on sunday as portside football far advanced that hero very cheap suspension slapped on that club well it's a day earlier so one teenager shot dead and sixty eight others injured at the military clash with angry crowds the decision to suspend the club followed it was stadium disaster of egypt's history when seventy four people were killed in writing last month a number of police officers have been charged over the tragedy with many egyptians blaming lax security middle eastern history professor in the us davidson says there will be no clear as to the father's cause no one's taking charge of the situation.

no no standing law and order actually. that is states things are such that the government is not think control bihari is. not going to come out of its barracks. confronted you know very very large work and so the populace is essentially on its own and that means that unpopular. solutions are really you're going to get this sort of spontaneous kind of how her's the anger and there is no capacity to control it nor is there any capacity to actually prevent the reasons for going there is no central control in egypt now and the fragile process of creating egypt's new constitution is already showing theorist signs of discord with lawmakers storming out of

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 and now earlier this month the lower house of parliament unanimously adopted a text that chord is roll public enemy number one of egypt of all support for the expulsion of the israeli ambassador for the scrapping of all gypsum oil and gas exports to israel and also for a review of all previous agreements between cairo and television so it's all to be 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

the long term pay a lot of that next hour here r.t. . to academics have a good night that here is debate in britain and beyond after advocating that parents should have their rights and the lives of new born babies in the same way as an abortion before that the british medical ethics journal which carried out a call for its intended to provoke academic debate but there's been outrage over the comments as r.t. as other benefits. actually three pause 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 heard was ignoring that advice i was treated as if i was this stupid way and it is very sad to think that they are the people who are giving advice their

mothers they have a duty so everyone may take an eye to preserve life and they don't a lot of them i i feel don't feel that our children know where. they're not where say they are not what happened and that really isn't the case that stereotypes just been taken a whole lot further by two ethicists who argue that it's ok to kill babies even after they're born the controversial comments were published by the oxford educated professors in a leading british medical journal they dismiss newborns as potential not actual persons they say killing them so no different to a normal prenatal abortion but critics branded infanticide a very sort of ask the question is a newborn child any less of equal member of the human family than a member of a certain race or of one gender or the other the authors of stoked an ethical storm

by advocating after birth abortions in all cases even if the baby is 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 and reversal issues so that in. the long run some of these issues are very complex. for example i looked agree with. conclusions of the i would like to defend people's right to express. 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 there definitely seems to be a trend now is to say that you know these children shouldn't be here it's not something terrible it's not awful because it's not what you imagined

presidential election in russia earlier this month you can see in russia takes a look. those videos went viral from cultural dancing in chechnya some planted oppressive work outs five hundred years worth of life video recorded on one single day was part of electing the next leader of russia but cameras were installed at all polling stations to mourn it for any possible fraud but the relatively few violations were overshadowed by the entertainment provided some have already dumped the election the most expensive live show in russia's history. most advanced software to the most remote regions of russia now we can do video conferences scholars can be lectured by the best professors for a show. that's just one of many ideas about how to use the two hundred

fifty thousand cameras and what russians may still be undecided who they want to keep an eye on they definitely want to control not entertain the all seeing eye all the webcam will make things harder to hide under the carpet and russia's police stations are so where critics have argued for a while we need to come under greater scrutiny but equally after several people died recently probably injuries received while in probably. where you're proposing i suggest we should move cameras from polling to police stations it would not violate the rights of those detained as their faces would be hard to reduce. the detainees themselves from police abuse. even while 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. . all children during all types of exams are legal terms
