international news and comments twenty four hours a day you're watching r.t. . syria's three day old cease fire is being put to test with reports ongoing clashes and killing. what is expected to vote on saturday about deploying a monitoring mission within days i think government rallies have resumed across the country but there's concern that being hijacked by the rebels and looks on the border reports now from damascus. it was good friday for syrian orthodox christians but it didn't bode well for the country at large three people lost their lives in demonstrations lation wired threatening the fragile cease fire before it even reached the end of its second day of opposition groups not messing about stop provoking for the clashes in syria and actually put into effect what call finance peace plan wants which is to sit down and negotiate and table with the government

as with all their uprising in the arab spring did largest of clashes in syria have often taken place after friday prayers it would some believe has been and many are legion for political aims but in the run up to bad day this week the opposition tried a new tactic. comfortably removed from the repercussions of their statements themselves revolutionaries made the point the demonstrations and the cease fire could include this only moment the troops are withdrawn from the cities those people in the government indeed as you know very well that hundreds of thousands. reads freedom seeking crowds have become a glorified image of the arab spring but in reality demonstrations often resulted in crime and violence in egypt female journalists were sexually harassed as protesters demanded more rights in libya a soldier was lynched right between calls for elections syria there are fears that

rallies may be deliberately used to derail the peace process i am very concerned that in case of sort of large gatherings of people the possibility of provocations will be greatly enhanced so instead of instead of talking about the most recent opposition leaders must finally formulate their attitude towards political dialogue demonstrations here are not banned but those who hit the streets without permission from the interior ministry as with their arrests there and while this official i've read some heavy handedness on the part of the government he says it's borne out of the security challenges serious crimes are facing what are. the challenges the government is facing this distinction between democratic process toure's and armed groups we're not afraid of the peaceful opposition because the screen where the government's own supporters we are trying to prevent these armed groups using these demonstrations for prosecutions killing civilians and blaming the killings on the

government especially now when the ceasefire students are in the students but it doesn't mean that political discourse is stifled for decades syrians have gathered in become trees many who could cafes were no topic is now off limits of the i'm going to go to france italy but the. so you talk about. in this group of high school friends old have studied or traveled abroad and while they are perfectly familiar with the notion of western liberties they say what's being imposed in syria now has nothing to do with freedom and what's in it for free or it's a free for you. know i wasn't. used to go. there for. anybody else where are you going to work with. your friends are asking for the feeling that everybody is there for them and that's what continues driving syrians apart by some of fighting for freedom others i fearing for their lives the

right to demonstrate is an undeniable human right but is it equal to the right to leave so many syrians do recognize that their country's political system needs to be changed but they say first things first and if opposition is genuinely interested in stopping the bloodshed for the time being it may consider responding to the government's plier with their own. initiative. artsy damascus syria all right turns commentator go has been closely following serious conflict since it began he says the us and its allies are feeling the trouble back in your position. the rebels are being are from outside and they would be sent in from outside they've been trained by the cia by french intelligence but british intelligence and sent in there to create these incidents these random shootings of civilian buses school children and so forth and then put

labels on the government these are armed gangs of mercenaries it off and we don't even know what it is some people i've spoken to ben throughout syria they don't they're fighting for a fight against their just paid money given guns and go in there are al qaeda that hillary clinton is supporting al-qaeda were to take literally but you have journalists from al-jazeera resigning in protest because al-jazeera is refusing to tell the truth about what's going on sites or this is an armed intervention in the legal violation when charted by the united states and various other countries including most likely turkey to try to destabilize. and steps regime that should be against you in charge for. the first time in fifteen months international talks on iran's nuclear program to resume six major world powers on tehran it's late on saturday. there is hope of a solution this time urgent need to diffuse tension in the region especially with

israel threatening preemptive military strike iran has been increasing its uranium enrichment in recent years which it says this will use for energy and the west suspect since making a bomb the u.s. and europe have imposed tough sanctions or in baka comes into force in july and countries have complied and china has agreed to help expand iran's tanker fleet economist patrick young says that clinicians are set to suffer more from the sanctions. it's absolutely tragic for them because just at the point in time where all of the other colors of their civilization are gradually dying because the fiscal firmament is a total disaster they find that the oil that they hard at very reasonable prices is suddenly going to have to go to market rates all of that they're going to have to transource from somewhere else so it's one of these curious predicaments were no one really wants to argue about the politics of the affair bought ultimately it's

the european union's weakest nations that are actually in the direct line to suffer more than necessarily they're really uncertain cells i mean clearly the e.u. has a series of different issues that it wants to bring forward and one of them is that the european union wants to act like some kind of major foreign powers and the problem then is of course that sometimes you have to do things in foreign policy the well to use an old irish expression you end up cutting off your nose to spite your face in other words you end up with a problem because actually economically you can hurt your room people rather than somewhere else but again i think the problem with this is it's a kind of growing pain for the european union because they haven't really got their head around how they can manage to juggle all the different balls of multinational stated whether it be the economy whether they're feeling a business or indeed an international students who are obviously they're trying very very hard to stop around getting a nuclear weapon but at the same time that we're they don't it is not good for
