this is r t coming to you live from moscow i'm marina joshie the fast approaching deadline for an agreed ceasefire in a syrian conflict may not be met opposition forces are not offering written guarantees they will lay down their arms i mean conditions by the government before it starts pulling back its forces from cities along with a withdrawal by tuesday that make or break agreement brokered by special envoy kofi annan and includes a complete piece of all is still ities by thursday syria's foreign minister is heading to moscow to report of how the government is complying with the on an initiative but they were based political analyst to marna xabi says there are indications the rabble zz and the powers behind them are just not interested in peace. the so-called. an army and its supporters in the west and.

some. groups that support the do not want peace and stability in syria large proportion of the syrian people support president assad in fact 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 the the opposition groups or syrian free army that is supported by western powers and some arab countries needs to. this matter of priority. to the international community and to everybody and to the united nations is the priority to actually have a stable and peaceful syria and to actually build government institutions and of course reforms or it is the priority. change the possible

fallout of the syrian crisis may affect israel which is under threat of losing strategically vital territories it annexed decades ago are just policy or has more and how israeli interests are caught up in the unrest of its neighbor the golan heights stretching like a finger between the borders of levanon jordan and syria whoever controls these mountains controls this area which is will johnson's caption from damascus in one thousand sixty seven but there's something more fundamental than security at stake much of israel's water supply comes from here the goal line is absolutely essential for for israel's water there's no doubt about that you can't go far without reminder of this land changing ownership. these are old syrian military houses for the juices will hear now what happens next could be a matter of life and that the water becomes polluted they start pumping the water away who knows there's a number of issues that that would face in this scenario but it was totally

unacceptable that it would also change the whole face of the landscape of the state of israel this is the largest 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 to and south of the country which is used for both domestic and agricultural purposes the water is the main reason for making peace or for going to war with israel annexed golan over thirty years ago it's never been internationally recognized. puts syria's 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 exchanging the boston strangler for the reaper or vice versa no nation in the world. would be important for roughly thirty five percent or for real water resources

a strategic vantage point chiefly a vital lifeline to a parched landscape for the syrians their thirst to get back in a hands is unlikely to be quenched no matter how to mask this future pans out policy r.t. golan heights. much like the west iran is also eerily watching events unfold in syria but from a very different perspective coming up in just twenty five minutes if out of fear from israel's institute for national security studies tells r.t. just water iran has to lose from the fall of. the us the dream has been iran's. closest for over two decades if the us attorney general falls apart iran is standing to lose a very strong me because any government would take place in syria whether it be.

two hundred ninety four million firearms floating around america hi i'm chuck norris like patriot if some bug breaks into my home i can use my roundhouse kick. or a leg on the barrel of my car since two thousand and five the freedom for gun owners to point and shoot in the name of self-defense has widened and for controversial legislation known as the stand your ground law experts say it allows going owners to use deadly force to protect themselves and 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 just 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 proper immunity from criminal prosecution but also immunity from any future civil litigations stand

offered help and the form of that restructuring refereeing the crisis german politicians appear to have kicked that idea into touch it was calling the move a threat to competition and asking german clubs to speak out i find it unthinkable we're paying hundreds of millions of dollars to help them recover from the situation and clubs are trying to avoid paying their debts he cannot go on minus. the repos who has since been dropped but the problem persists the spanish clubs owing more than seven hundred fifty million euros in pay taxes. is one such club in a ministration struggle to pay plays wages. i think the sponge clears outraged when we talk about a strike it is gone because this is going through a difficult time and inability to pay salaries is something affecting many clubs last year propping players the strike wages are only part of the problem is

spending to net the world's greatest talent amounting to four hundred million euro and the top league and those who. think something drastic needs to change. now spanish football and the spanish economy need investments from abroad it's not only about football but also statements a whole off the pitch a similar scenario is being played out and uncompetitive economy is not yielding many positive results and more some accuse football clubs of taking that. many are saying the same about the nation's leaders to greece literates. find out what happened on europe's football pitches over the we can stay with r.t. for our sports cauldron coming up about half an hour. has been a week since a deadly plane crash in russia savior claimed more than thirty lives and left twelve people hospital artist current harajuku takes a look at the modern problems in the country's aviation industry to see what's

being done to avoid similar tragedies in the future. captain said ansen died the day before his twenty eighth birthday is copilot nikita was only twenty four years old the luminary investigations into the crash of flight one twenty say one possible reason may have been a failure to d.i.'s the plane prior to takeoff it's a decision typically made by the captain of the aircraft most of the problems that we have today in aviation comes down to the system that prepares and manufactures planes 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 years to complete opening just last year once all is attempting to turn back the clock and address the issue the

primary goal of the aeroflot aviation 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 in 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 but these state of the art computer based programs and simulators may fall short when competing with actual flight experience. 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 old and more experienced pilots have this knowledge and also have skills that help them in other more unconventional circumstances with 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 that you 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. thirteen planes crashed in russia last year eight of which resulted in fate tallaght e.-s. and of those three were due to pilot error the most tragic and yet a slava which killed all but one of the forty five people on board karen archie moscow. and our website r t a commie can follow the whole story watch videos and photos from the crash site as well as listen to witnesses testimonies now here's a taste of what else is lined up for you there. well the next war be

what you are a south korean news agency reports the north is preparing a new on the ground nuclear test and will allegedly follow the long range missile test planned for later this week and a rare move foreign reporters were allowed to see first hand fully prepared rocket at the launch site the north name is to communication satellite into orbit but the u.s. and south korea say at my be a cobra ballistic missile test and japan is prepared to shoot the rocket down if it goes over its territory but the high top reports of alleged weapons tests are part

of south korea's internal politics and that's the view of dr tim beal a researcher and asia specialist from new zealand. it's what the south koreans when we're going to you an instant's involving north to consolidate some. action general election and south korea on wednesday so it's clearly aimed at that i think that is true for sanctions on north korea after the satellite test and this is satellite of them as are those we've seen are sanctions then one would guess the next track will be another nuclear test we have to remember the whole point about north korean strategy is to force him into and peaceful coexistence so these nuclear tests rule part of that. so they're not something that is done lightly they are in response to you know set of negotiations so. i don't think we're going to

be particular reason to think that the test will come about this time and that doesn't make sense given simple answer is that with the submarine government trying to. take a look at some other stories from around the world for a vice president of egypt ousted leader hosni mubarak has joined the race for the country's presidency amar so a lot is among twenty hopefuls have now handed over applications with the four approved list expected to be announced in the next few weeks egypt's most powerful political group the muslim brotherhood after a few candidates triggering santu fear the country will put on a strict islamic pass. in southern yemen at least eleven people have died in any change of how you are between the military and suspected al qaeda militants firing broke out when an army barracks was attacked and that ambush is continuing according to reports to gain control of parts of yemen south and east having any of
