a p has been an increase in violence over the past few days and this violence of blames coming from armed opposition groups the violence also comes particularly after an understanding was reached over a peace plan put forward by the former u.n. chief kofi annan now the damascus president bashar assad says that he is fighting these armed groups ahead of the april tenth did nine which was agreed to according to announce plan and he also says that these armed groups are increasing their activity he says they are interested only in violence and that they're in funded and armed by countries such as turkey saudi arabia and qatar now in a show of support for a side in the reforms he's been implementing thousands of syrians took to the streets of damascus on saturday in a mess of rarely that rarely coming while bank says that syria has not been doing enough to show its commitment to announce

a proposal but this is something that assad has denied he says there for days now he has been withdrawing his tanks and troops from numerous cities but damascus is worried about a commitment coming forward from the opposition side it says it is no indication from the opposition as to whether or not they fully committed to the peace plan and they're also concerned by the void that will now be opened in the cities where the troops no longer are at the same time there is a united nations team in damascus preparing the groundwork for next week's cease fire did line up what i heard paul have you heard there are start rebels from getting support and weapons from the outside which of course could potentially derail this where a chance for peace that there might be as we approach the april tenth cease fire. well as been able to see why did lion approaches there is no official commitment from the opposition fighters that they intend to adhere to it or it here fully to

it the final deadline is the twelve six am by which time all the rebel fighters must have ceased hostilities and if they continue to look for support from the board we are hearing from the united states from its allies and from other gulf countries that they wanted him to maximize and increase the material support that they are giving to the rebels at the same time the rebels are calling for the and conditional stepping down of the syrian president bashar assad and indeed this is not a condition that was put forward in coffee announced plans or indeed any united nations statement on syria there indorse their plan the friends of syria meeting that happened several days ago really has become the friends of the syrian opposition and here too we hear even more pledges to increase support for the rebel fighters now the rebels as i say have yet to officially agree to indorse a man's proposal and this is something that has to masters and many an international community concerned among in moscow which has made the point that as

countries in the international community continue to endorse funding as well as supplying arms to the rebel fighters this is nearly going to inflame the situation and the violence on the ground. was there reporting live from jerusalem our mideast correspondent as of course we approach this attempt at a cease fire next week looks like things are heating up in the region thanks paula . well molly is drunker has agreed to hand power to civilian rule in return for an end to sanctions imposed by the country's neighbors as part of the agreement the west african block us will relive lifts trade and fuel bans on marley and grant amnesty for those involved in the coup the country's parliamentary speaker will be sworn in as interim president and organize the elections within forty days of the little crisis broke out in mali when the military seize power and topple the president last month saying here felt for its against an insurgency

authorities prying into their own lives. across an olympic standard historical find as a rare engine temple is uncovered of the side of the twenty fortunate winter games and aggression so. now when it comes to gambling it's clear who really hits the jackpot all mind betting sites in britain are booming but it's leaving those hooks into trying their hands penniless homeless or worse little use expressing hell. from the multi-billion dollar industry insider bennett's been hearing from struggling addicts. it's ok be the famous drink and drugs will kill you really and ronald's a compulsive gambler he started dating when he was fifteen and couldn't stop but fifty years his addictions left him with nothing how years ago inheritance. me for my money and. so much it was

a nice thing lost and wondering where i was regularly until. i got under the mat with you want to with you know. if anyone gangrene we want to celebrate is again one more. you want to get your money back it's not winning or losing. how can you just walk away once you put on a compulsive gambler now why would you have three points from me. lost every penny you had ronald pawned his grandfather's war medals and stole from his own family staging its so he can gamble more but even when loan sharks held a gun to his head he still couldn't stop gambling and told me. that i did know their money back you know and the sad thing was that i demanded a pioneer name but the more he told me but now you can go at him with the more i with that money with no money

a pile of misled money. and the thought of that for dinner no one the money for no one the money will be think. it took five prison terms two divorces and being shunned by his family for ronald to finally manage to walk away he hasn't gambled for three years but for the gambling industry addictions like his main profit today one in ten seventeen year olds is at risk of developing the same dangerous compulsion a shocking statistic from a leaked regulators report a unique history tried to silence so you have a gambling reg regulator which is relatively feeble which is in bed with the gambling industry which isn't in the slightest degree interested in the prevention of gambling harm and there's the rub britain's one of the few countries in the developed world that actually allows children to gamble and it's in places like this they don't actually let us film inside but even kids are allowed to play on the arcade machines in there for the jackpot of up to five pounds johns just

eighteen and has already been gambling for four years first scratch cards then the lottery now online poker but it's a win. loss a. family feeling all together to now it. makes a grand way to get my. winnings cache back in syria. go read sister from . your money every summer like ronald john turned to crime to pay for his addiction selling drugs and stealing his only income now is unemployment welfare but as soon as he gets it it disappears like money was born. a generation is when you when you get this good feelin one will use a good idea to give him a money back they never making money back. kind of a scam. do you think you've got a problem you said yeah. yeah definitely. how serious.

is whatever adjective my family. john recognizes his problem but countless thousands in britain don't and when it comes to gambling as only ever one winner arthur bennett r.t. london. eighteen minutes past the hour let's talk a look at some other stories from around the world an avalanche has hit a high percentage military base on the himalayan glaciers are burying around one hundred soldiers rescue efforts are underway with reports claiming that some bodies have now been recovered the area is on the northern tip of the divided kashmir region claimed by both india and pakistan and known as the world's highest battlefields. well trained security forces fired tear gas and water cannons at a crowd of people on friday it's only just become known because events are currently difficult to verify in the country thousands were marching in support of

a jailed human rights activist who was serving a life sentence for taking part anti-government uprising last year a man has been on hunger strike for two months now and is being treated in a military hospital. gunmen loyal to yemen's ousted president have shut down the country's main airport threatening to shoot down planes this is came after two military chiefs close to the former leader were fired resourceful came as al qaeda gunmen launched attacks against government sites suicide missions targeting security forces have intensified since president ali took office in february following years of protests against the former regime. the us is the only country in the world that jails young offenders for life without parole because it treats them as adults for their crimes but worse are the conditions treatment and the abuse they face behind bars as this war reports because others who do get to be

stuck in a cycle of re offending. authorities in western pennsylvania have charged eleven year old jordan brown as an adult the boys will have a line a trial together in adult court the length of his sentence is also going through this life they're not old enough to drive drink or vote but in america kids as young as seven years old can be tried as adults when you hold the youth accountable the same manner and passion in which you hold an adult that's just not right and it's not fair michael can't knows what it's like to be a kid locked up in an adult prison you never know what one of my daughters and i do to you so you do be fair and i. mean he was locked up for the first time when he was twelve years old here at oak hill juvenile correctional facility and that wasn't and neither was it designed to rehabilitate you desire for punishment you know around again and use propane. or lifestyle like most kids that serve

time as a juvenile in the u.s. he got into trouble again at seventeen he was charged with armed robbery as an adult he says for a kid being in an adult prison is a constant struggle to survive they know what it is we come out of the worst and you don't have any. you just so they pull you when you know reality trying to get a favor out of you fries or sexual act you know and if victim you know and you become someone and. person he was spared from sexual abuse but many kids aren't so lucky in fact one in five victims of sexual violence in jails and prisons are under the age of eighteen youth and don't facilities are thirty six times more likely to commit suicide than those in the juvenile system and any given day in america ten thousand children are held in adult jails and prisons most of them have never been convicted of a crime and kids are fair game for solitary confinement cam says for five months he

spent twenty three and a half hours per day locked up alone i kind of went crazy and. just i was going to say we never knew for that moment critics slammed the practice of putting kids in adult jails as cruel and unusual punishment but they are less capable of understanding the consequences of their behavior their development is incomplete and that's why the supreme court struck down the death penalty for juveniles in two thousand and five but today the united states is the only country that sentences kids to life without parole it was a very good as a substitute for the ultimate penalty there are now twenty five hundred inmates that were sentenced to die in jail as children this is a peculiarly american phenomenon in which we tend to believe that harsher the penalties the greater the public safety pay off kids should instead be rehabilitated says lubell that's the focus of washington d.c. these newly opened new beginnings now walking into

a classroom at new beginnings is much different from walking into a classroom at other juvenile detention facilities that this is considered to be a model facility it's a system based on rewards rather than punishment and experts say that this is that is much more effective i recall militating view to become productive members of society but unfortunately places like this and the u.s. are rare here kids are given a second chance but in most prisons throughout the country remain america's forgotten children hope for the future gone at an early age in washington liz wahl r.t. . well you take your username and password and you hope or online privacy is sacrosanct firms like google and facebook store tons of your data and legislation is circling to let third parties take a peek at your private information are you ready to share let's find out.

in the name of national security governments around the globe are trying to pass legislation that allows them to monitor and just route people online are you ok with that this week let's talk about that for national security reasons i wouldn't object to that but that's the case isn't it yeah it should be legal so you trust them to use that power wisely. i have a think about it i think so yes. you know that does make you do. maybe if you're in the u.s. or are at some other place and my feel different yeah exactly security there is a privacy also counts so for me it's. going to find out regardless anyway. so you don't mind them looking through your e-mail nothing but they're going to find importance in my e-mail but it's your e-mail and it's your life and they don't have any right to look true i agree with you on that

. but. it's hard to explain i guess you know it's just the nature of a world where you have to. have some type of power you know to be. we just have to try to let the right person that's where you get the chance that's why you have a ballot you know that's where you go to vote for somebody who can trust part of it i could say and why they're doing it but i also don't want them to get too much into you know our personal business you know yeah it's a tough cause it's cool do you think that's just the way it's going and you know as a society as we move more on line inevitably our minds going to be not so free yes i do believe that you think about that when you go online that someone might be watching all the time but more and more hackers and stuff like that so that was my biggest concern not the government. whether or not you think it's ok for a government to monitor its citizens but bottom line is before you post anything on

line you might want to consider who could be listening. as the russian city of sochi for the twenty fourteen winter olympics the entire resort isn't trying to make over and while the vast construction effort is mostly about the first future it's also on our something unique from the past went underground for our team. the discovery that would make indiana jones eyes light up the ruins of the ninth century byzantine turnbull emerging from the ground as a future olympic park. and now entering one of the hidden under ground troops. inside the grief of the parishioners monks and priests some of them are believed to have been martyrs for their fate until last year these ancient ruins were hidden layer of rubbish only when this location was picked as a future olympic venue proposal to winter games in two thousand and fourteen was

every corner carefully surveyed and examples all the wide once again and in surprisingly pristine condition for centuries these plodding stones kept the ceiling from collapsing little to match we assume it contains organic materials like egg white to give it extra strength but this is the most prized discovery applied with the biblical tale on it the first time anything like it has been found in the russian black sea coast. it's a story of saying being your who was thrown into the lion's den but instead of killing him the winds leave his feet this rarity and other whinings here will now go on display in sochi precious artifacts which would otherwise never have been found will take their place alongside the olympic athletes who create history themselves two years time then as a ball of ski r t sochi. we're going to take a short break here on r.t. and i'll be back with heather.
