the source material is hopes he journalism on we. we want to visit. something of. the syrian government integrated the us backed members of the syrian opposition struggle to come together with a single unified join me here it is. just a few maybe. a wave of cold war nostalgia crashes through capitol hill some republican presidential hopefuls jumped on the contents of a private conversation between the leaders of russia and america. trouble clashes in libya lead to the resignations of two n.p.c. members from worries that the interim government can't control the country's ongoing violence.

thanks for joining our team with me karen taraji two o'clock here in moscow the syrian rebels are facing mounting pressure to accept the u.n. backed peace plan which includes appeals for a ceasefire but no calls for president assad to step down the syrians government's already signed on but some opposition leaders are still calling for a continued attacks on government troops the u.s. wants rebel forces to come together and present a unified vision for peace this as washington and its allies continue to call on president assad to give up power with russia warning that it won't help solve the crisis i don't know position conference in turkey some rebel factions rallied behind the syrian national council but there was still plenty of room for urges unity sara furth reports. what's come out of the meeting is the pitch of an

opposition that's really struggling to get its act together they've been meeting here in istanbul hundreds of the syrian opposition members to discuss and to try and hammer out some common objectives and really lay to rest the concerns over the very fractious nature but it seems that that was elusive to then they were unable to unify and in fact the picture that came out we saw walkouts from some of the members disagreements and further criticisms of the syrian national council and the objectives that they put forward saying that they were trying to impose their will to be much indeed it is very concerning because the essence of course is trying to pitch is the foremost as an exile government in waiting a very similar seat it is and t c but that hasn't really been the reality of what's happened and we've seen a fierce criticism coming from the different opposition factions in stealthing to

the syrian national council ineffective and they're very far removed from what's going on inside the country so that it was an optimistic picture and it's going to make the western countries and governments very nervous and anxious those who would back seeing president assad out this way is not really clear at the moment whether there is a viable alternative that the opposition sort of failing to present this united front. but we still between damascus and the opposition will be difficult to broker because of the political prog of war within the rebel camp that's according to middle east observer patrick. it's very hard to know exactly who the opposition is in syria you have a very divided opposition a very fragmented one where you effectively have the heads which is the national syrian council which is close by so if you are as you professor in. the university there you have on the ground the free syrian army and other kind of collective groups and it's very hard to get any kind of consistent sense of what these divided

groups that form the opposition actually want and obviously in terms of having a peace program or kind of moving forward towards peace it's going to be very difficult when you have an opposition that is so fragmented they're not able to really state their demands with any sense of really legitimacy from representing the body of the syrian people on the way the leading five global economic challengers team up find out how the powerhouses are planning to tackle them and are billion dollar dependent market that's coming your way in just a few minutes. and protestors in britain call for heavy handed riot police to face justice as one activist seriously injured in a student demonstration finds himself standing trial. also is warning of an emerging arms race should washington fail to provide guarantees that it plans for a missile defense system in europe which would not be aimed at russia it comes as

president medvedev and president obama holds a key talks at the nato nuclear security summit in seoul earlier this week however at least one part of their conversation wasn't intended for the public. let's. touch. throughout the obama was overheard assuring me of a deal more flexibility on arms control issues after november's u.s. presidential election but his comments drew harsh criticism from his republican rivals back in the states arties going to chicken reports on the reaction on capitol hill. the run up to the presidential election in the u.s. . a perfect time to drag out the good old cold war skeleton from the closet. russia this is without question our number one geopolitical foe in the world of the presidential hopeful mitt romney russia is america's prime

enemy while it's president elect you should read i mean. i think this represents a real threat to the. stability of the world but that's in the world of mitt romney what about well america there is no evidence of any popular support for bashing russia for hostility towards russia so this idea that somehow or another russia is a concern for americans it just doesn't add up at all with a very small sliver of people asked about romney's comments president medvedev advised him to stop reverting to olden days hollywood stereotypes and take a look at the calendar. and you can go i would advise all u.s. presidential candidates to make reasonable statements and you can do them any home produce an internship they will choose it's the year two thousand and twelve

midnight and seventy's and you know the current leaders of the two countries may have long delayed the cold war to aggress but for some it's just too good to like girl boy to return to those cold war simple days. russia is not the only foreign policy bandwagon the republican presidential hopefuls are capitalizing on the list also includes china iran syria each candidate except ron paul trying to sound tougher than the other strategies they put forward warming arming isolating threatening i want to. beat china i want to go to war with china these guys are ranchers and in and out of it but instead of looking for ways to do it to want to harness of course you take military action it is unacceptable for iran to have a nuclear weapon but what if all of what the trigger happy candidate suggest on foreign policy actually happens i worry about the world in which romney became

president because i think he would adopt a more militaristic foreign policy his world is depicted in a miniature sketch that says some kind of hedonistic cool and very unreal view of the world if america takes up a much more aggressive stance towards lots of foreign countries it will be a much more dangerous world ability to be dangerous for america because we can't afford to do that mitt romney will most likely win the republican nomination and america will face a choice between him and president obama polls show the majority of americans disapprove of obama's policies but most experts agree that he will leave them out of leeway in the election because too many americans are just plain scared at having someone like romney as their future leader i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. . head of foreign affairs in russia's lower house of parliament alex

a pushover says it's hardly surprising that a cold war attitude towards russia is still a republican trait. i think that this logic of the cold war that the united states is first facing a lot of foods a lot of enemies in the world is still very much present in the sinking of the republican elite mitt romney is considered to be one of the moderate republicans that if a moderate republicans say say things like this that russia is enemy number one we can only imagine what a real conservative republican would say oh this course this was an exchange which is quite understandable there is an issue between russia and the united states and as the a.t.m. issue so basically what about who is saying that if we are to solve the a.b.m. issue it will be easier to do after the elections when the passions are when he has a new mandate and when he will not be criticised every day every week by republican

contenders so i think maybe it was a little bit careful it was quite understandable and i don't see that there is anything here. which is out of the common exchange just usually change between political leaders when they discuss some political issues of that scope and that magnitude. former u.s. chief nuclear negotiator richard burr told r t that president obama should find common ground with russia on the missile defense issue but faces strong opposition in washington you can watch his full interview later this hour but here's a preview. obama is in a tough political spot because i think he would like to find an arms control solution to this problem and solve it he already backed away from the bush plan to deploy. these more capable missiles in poland and the radar in the czech republic i think that he's got us he's got a u.s. senate. with some republicans that are making it difficult making it difficult for

him to make i think give him the room for maneuver that he needs to find a practical solution with vladimir putin. and if you're just joining us live in minutes past the hour and a trial is underway of a u.k. student accused of violent disorder in a twelve thousand and ten protest against tuition hikes helping meadows and fifty other students ended up in hospital later that day many as a result of alleged police brutality he could face up to five years in prison if found guilty but his supporters are fighting back parties abra bennett reports. fiercely defending the rights of protest against what they call a corrupt system these demonstrators are here to support an alleged victim of police brutality and is now a victim once again despite nearly dying from injuries sustained at

a sanctioned protest it's out the meadows not the police facing trial for violent disorder strictly unjust shit place here alfie if she thinks she's in charge lock itself is a victim of violence and peace sends a message at least in a sense to a lie and if you're a protester you are basically fair game alfie alleges he was beaten over the head with police battens this is the immediate aftermath of the assault the impact was so hard he suffered bleeding on the brain and lost the ability to speak the scars a gruesome reminder of the emergency brain surgery that saved his life alfie had been demonstrating against the universe teach english and feed hikes along with thousands of other students but police were out in force two and more than happy to show them the strong arm of the law alfie was one of over fifty who ended up in hospital after the protests most of them students but the only ones who have been

charged in connection with the violence of the students themselves a year on not even a single policeman has been investigated the same protests or a disabled activist dragged from his wheelchair and pulled along the road despite this video evidence no officers which charged but the courts haven't been afraid to hand down strict punishments to the protesters one student got fifteen months behind bars for merely throwing a placard that didn't even hit anyone another jailed for a year and a half just for throwing a joke shop smoke bomb these kinds of offenses which even if they're. technically career. trivial in the sense of they didn't cause any are not productive cause the police officer doesn't hear and so on to the real victims here not you know others are the police there but they are the protesters who have been beaten attacked in obvious cases virtually killed alfie meadows was charged soon after lodging

a complaint with the police regulator its inquiry conveniently suspended because of this trial after spending the last fifteen months recovering from his injuries he could now face up to five years in prison either bennett r.t. london. for more news and videos you can head to our website our team dot com here's a taste of what's waiting around for. a rower has gone viral across the web igniting discussion on twitter claiming russia's president medvedev has lost his count and that's a log onto our t. online to find out what happened to the kremlin's first feline. and also paying the price coral in the gulf of mexico could be slow dying down two years after a catastrophic oil spill had the water. and culture of mercy and francoise reports emerged that the toulouse gunman may have been an informant for french intelligence you can check out our change dot com or our you tube channel for up to date news
