peace and stability in syria that proportion of the syrian people support president assad in fact some some records claim that it is the majority now even if it's not the majority even if it is an equal number or a large proportion of the syrian population then one cannot have a stable syria without and one cannot have a dialogue without a ceasefire so be the opposition groups or syrian free army that is supported by western powers and countries and needs to. resolve this matter of priorities to set its priorities. for the international community and to everybody and to the united nations is the priority actually have a stable and peaceful syria to actually build government institutions and all thought of course a more graphic reforms order is the priority. a possible fall out of the syrian

water away they all know there's a number of issues that that that would face in this scenario but it was totally unacceptable because it would also change the whole face of the landscape of the state of israel these really communities that live in the coal and get a drink in water from underground springs the rainwater therefore is channeled through water reserves like this one to the sea of galilee this is the largest a freshwater lake in israel it supplies about thirty percent of the country's water from here the water is pumped as far as the same tech and south of a country where it is used for both domestic and agricultural purposes water is the main reason for making clear or for going to war for israel annexed golan over thirty years ago it's never been internationally recognized and returning literature to syria was on the cards until relatively recently. but serious instability has israelis on tenterhooks many feel they still technically at war and

whoever replaces president assad could prove infinitely worse for them it would be like changing the boston strangler for jerk or vice versa and all motion in the world. to be important for rescue thirty five percent or for real water resources a strategic vantage point a chiefly a vital lifeline to a parched landscape for the syrians they thirst to get back in their hands is unlikely to be quenched no matter how damascus is future plans are porous here r.t. golan heights. much like the west iran is also eagerly watching events unfold in syria but from a very different perspective coming up next hour if tosh appear from israel's is good for national security studies tells r t just want to run has to lose from the fall of. cuba has been and the assad regime

has been the runs closest for over two decades if us and through june falls apart we run. a very strong only because any government would take place in syria with a. western democracy which is one of the likely or muslim muslim brothers were sunnis and were very hostile confused. any region you either hostile to run or far from corporate can get around as much as the bashar assad regime has been. from by thoughts to marches and protests there is public anger over the killing of teenager trayvon martin across america gunned down while armed only with i stand candy the episode has brought attention to the country's lax gun laws which critics

say have gone far beyond just security of ordinary ports. if the second amendment to the u.s. constitution had a soundtrack. the right to bear arms would best be recognized by gunfire. the land of the free is the most heavily armed nation in the world with two hundred ninety four million firearms floating around america hi i'm chuck norris like a tree or some progress of my home i can use my roundhouse kick back or a look down the barrel of my car since two thousand and five the freedom for gun owners to point shoot in the name of self-defense has widened under controversial legislation known as the stand your ground law experts say it allows going owners to use deadly force to protect themselves in public essentially delivering a license to kill it tells people you know what if you're in

a confrontation on the street with someone or getting into an argument or there's a physical altercation even if you could safely retreat from that this walk away and go home you don't have to we're going to let you shoot and potentially kill another human being and then the law will not only provide you with immunity from criminal prosecution but also immunity from any future civil litigations stand your ground first became law in florida but recently received national attention following the deadly shooting of seventeen year old trayvon martin the unarmed student who was carrying candy and iced tea when he was shot dead by a neighborhood watch volunteer police released the gunman george zimmerman without charges was our son but trayvon is your son. a lot of people can relate to our situation oh oh. and it breaks their heart just like you breaks mine he said.

a number of different ways since two thousand and five the stand your ground law has been adopted in twenty five states throughout america so it's like you see. bobby kennedy or said there were some other people in our culture here it's just going to be the gun violence and so you know as the most powerful nation on the planet the greatest nation in some people's minds most in a great nation. clearly something is wrong if you can she had people should each other all of south americans sit side above any of us civil liberties and freedom have suffered in the name of national security new gun laws up some ulterior mystery made it easier for americans to arm themselves leaving the land of liberty locked and loaded up or die of artsy me or. coming out of the program firing out new fear as north korea journalists see the final preparations for its my. discussed rocket launch media in the south sounds the alarm over an alleged new

as well as those who train the pilots and flight personnel with only a handful of certified aviation schools across russia and the industry rapidly growing there simply aren't enough pilots in the seventy's it took only two years to become an aviator now it's a college degree and a specialized program that could take up to eight hears to complete opening just last year one school is attempting to turn back the clock and address the issue the primary goal of the air of thought a.b.h. and school here in moscow is to fix the shortage of professionals in the russian aviation industry bad weather horrible equipment and even older models of planes have been to blame and recent crashes a russia however here the primary focus is on the human factor the idea that pilots and copilots should be able to handle high levels of stress in order to land a plane safely on the ground or in the water but even at this school it's painfully obvious that simply turning over pilots at a faster rate won't be enough russian airlines need at least eight hundred new

pilots yearly while here it takes twenty four months to graduate just a fifth of that number of these state of the art computer based programs and simulators may fall short when competing with actual flight experience with nowadays a pilot acts only as the operator of a plane he basically pushes buttons turning them on and off with the exception of takeoff and landing older more experienced pilots have this knowledge but also have skills that help them in other. more unconventional circumstances of skills like those of pilots who perform miracles landings in two thousand and ten an electrical failure crippled a plane traveling from siberia to moscow or had two middle aged russian pilots on that flight safely landed the aircraft on an abandoned military airfield against the odds all eighty one people on board survived. the new method should be in place for the construction of our planes the preparation of pilots and flight crew on the

ground and in the air in addition there should always be a system to control and check these people if we don't have this there will never be order in our aviation thirteen planes crashed in russia last year eight of which resulted in fayed tallaght ease and those three were due to pilot error and most tragic in yugoslavia which killed all but one of the forty five people on board karen r.t. moscow. on our website our data call on you can follow the whole story you watch videos and photos from the crash site as well as listen to what this is testimony to the fortune five hundred here's a taste of what else is lined up for you there well the next war be a zombie apocalypse find out why that's a real possibility of the weapons of the future and to make mind control of battlefield tactics. and get caught of virtual us agricultural giant declares war on the entire state of vermont threatening to sue if
