an ugly transit the release of pictures show soldiers posing with mutilated bodies of power against becomes the latest in a series of scandals over the behavior of u.s. servicemen abroad. or u.n. monitors in syria have said they need time and trust to accomplish the tough task of stabilizing shaky truce in a country that's called reports the team was caught in crossfire in a suburb of the capital damascus something the observers haven't confirmed animated alleged cease fire violations more and more civilians are searching for a safe place both inside and outside syria's borders or he's a town boy called faldo's displaced by the war and left battling for wife's essential. what there it's battle for freedom or against terrorism for those caught in between it's produced only losses tens of thousands of syrians uprooted from their homes left at the mercy of strangers for their basic needs and so far it

seems those who feed them also define their story we're a few g.'s in the tents human turkey we are here to protest against this because the conflicts on the massacres didn't end the massacre in syria only continue. while the turkish syrian border is seen as the epicenter of serious refugee crisis only a minority of syrians sought shelter and cross the border most journal of displaced and most flats through the c.t.'s of another big over the past three months its population of sixty thousand has almost doubled. refugees are biggest problem now we have forty five thousand people from the north we try to provide everyone with food and shelter but it's hard this compound was billed as a luxury resort it now houses more than one hundred families from homs which is only an hour drive away this mother from baba amr sas her house and entire livelihood is now in ruins what kind of freedom is that i have for kids who are

living off other people's charity who can't get proper health care this fight for freedom left me with nothing what was once a pool is now living quarters for three families once a week each family receives the ration paid for by local charities the men who invested everything in this resort says the refugees will stay here as long as they need everyone has since in my life i've also done things i'm not proud of and it's my way to get out as forgiveness from. here there is no one in massachusetts or those who flocked to turkey they say when running for your life the destination for refuge is not a political statement is there enough there is have promise that all the refugees regardless of where they're fighting to will be able to return to their homes and will be provided for some sort of compensation to help them rebuild their lives but given the scale of destruction in the north is still unclear whether that's going to take months or years maybe decades. are see syria

foreign ministers from the friends of syria group which includes key western and arab states are gathering in paris to bolster pressure on the outside regime the french media and so to push for more sanctions against the syrian government and political analyst power a follower who's written extensively on the middle east so some of these world players don't really care about the peace and welfare of the people in syria. we have a government which is the assad government which is under attack internationally accusations sanctions and so on on the other hand you have an internal political opposition reaches mostly mabel to express way out from the nigerian which the country is full full of several months and like to open negotiations to sincerely probably with the government with the international

community then you have armed groups of different sorts some foreign countries namely france for instance wants them to be all represented within the syrian national council but it is not the case there are several groups which are responding to other inputs but not everybody really wants peace because if we take the interests of certain arab states from the gulf evidently they are much more interested to use the syrian case against the possibility of maybe agreement between iran and the united states so they would like to take syria against this and so everybody's trying to get something out of syria but nobody's really caring for the syrians themselves and what is going on inside for the population so the county the program here in our team slashing profits their name of health you know you can't leave india it's after the country delivers a major blow to pharmaceutical moneymakers make education affordable to those.

a free taxi service accusations that amir firmly dismisses your brother it's not true in all the years i've worked here they've been very beautiful schools usually the calls are perfectly justified sometimes we even reproach locals for waiting too long before calling out he's been working as a doctor now for forty three years of vladimir is confident that the even after he retires his helicopter doctors will remain a lifeline to the peoples of the russian far north. john bottom party. after months of political uncertainty silva syrians are finally going to get their new president was a landmark inauguration set for earlier today and just before taking the helm president elect and the need to build if shared with r.t. what fills the hearts and minds of his compatriots and here's a preview of that interview which will be coming up about fifteen minutes time. we have this dream for our people to reunite we have been split into two parts one

know that gives the bosun of its news. the price it's all possible because of the revised trade and international property rights agreement passed by the world trade organization known as trips to trips agreements focus is to provide medication to all people in developing countries that means that global pharmaceutical companies are required to sell a life altering medication at a reasonably affordable to people in those countries if they don't do that patent offices in those countries can ask these global pharmaceutical companies to provide compulsory licenses so that a local manufacturer can benefit make those drugs the idea is that the global pharmaceutical companies would then be stripped of their monopoly on drugs in developing countries. there has said in statements that it is quote disappointed in

the ruling and is looking for ways to challenge it this is the slog of watering it with a broken hearted us who even there. you know but i've seen all the americans you know give them a leak a chance to live and a chance for india to stand up against domination from the west preassure either r t new delhi india. a twenty two million dollar fine that's the latest punishment dished out to america's perhaps most controversial financial giant goldman sachs the palace he came after revelations the bank gave inside information to its preferred clients along down unfair advantage over other investors and as always our kaiser report coming up at seven thirty g.m.t. has around. it makes sense that the commission was able to negotiate a penalty on an over four times the two thousand and three penalty settlement so yes goldman sachs already paid a penalty in two thousand and three for this exact same technical violation but

they have more leverage now because of the financial collapse to plead with goldman sachs to pay a little bit more money around your. money for you look we're doing in your group it'll be move your please go through those who does what if you choose. to do most good of you but you know this is outrageous but yes it is begging goldman to the right of the fine if they're caught the ball well yeah it's sort of actually you know saying you know what you guys are shameless lawbreaking banks are scum and how about we get out of sparks and. you know i love these chinese banks who give you know they take the brokers are practically a kilo that's a deterrent to death as a deterrent. was now. go straight to the world of business katey sagal latest for a good morning to you katie now we know they should markets are open ad the moment
