radical islamic groups the problem is that they inspire people they organize people they fill people's heads there are people in the deal who actually do think they are some kind of religious crusaders often extremist groups can be the trigger for somebody to do something something quite unpleasant quite nasty britain is considered a hotbed of far right extremism with sixteen anti islamic groups operating here the report classes the british freedom party is one of them its chairman paul western it was another cited by brevik highlighting a blog that claimed the west is fighting a european civil war against islam i'm not saying go out and commit violence and the most astonishing thing about this for me is it is the whole breivik thing has been picked up picked up on by the media with no documentary evidence of any so-called right wing movements saying. when the islamists tell you that

2:06 am
and the sunni minority government threatens not just to do real. but send shock waves through other nations that are heavily invested in the islands of stability such as the united states the dilemma the u.s. faces and bahrain is a tough one on the one hand washington feels at least the blog to say something about the continuing standoff between the protesters and the police on the other hand behind is home to the u.s. fifth fleet the largest american base in the oil rich gulf region just a stone's throw away from iran and to lose an ally as valuable as bahrain would be disastrous for washington. western politicians wasted no time in jumping on the arab spring bandwagon with fiery condemnations of the regimes in countries like egypt libya and syria yet suspiciously flies below their rhetorical radar the bahraini regime playing a very dangerous game now of course has
2:07 am
a majority against its own government and seeing a very sort of the end days many people are expecting now of course there are huge arms deals with american british dealers that the bahraini government will be able to use against the protesters the american government lost no time to criticize russia's interest in syria but to explain why it renewed its fifty three million dollars arms sales contract with the grain even a year after a bloody crackdown on protesters on the island one cannot deny the fact that very important for the interests of the united states that the king remains in power and that there is. the by the king. and his people to crush any. democratic calls for example for the removal of the american base and from this part of the world as any country any sovereign country would wouldn't want foreign

bases on its territory when it's not necessary but want to have a foreign based on its shores for years the countries rulers feared iran which laid claim to the island several times the last being in one nine hundred seventy one having more than four thousand american military personnel on the ground may be viewed by the bahraini government as insurance. but for some it's out of date and running out of time the irony about the persian gulf dictatorships is they don't really need to be submissive at all they do have power energy power and the facts of these persian gulf dictators continue to be so. to washington and even london displays what kind of colonial mentality must surround these dictatorships families being left alone to sort out a solution isn't easy but. they at least acknowledge transgression against their own civilians in the ugly scenes between protesters and police it was

a human rights violations and behind us human rights violations in america there were human rights violations in the. are we saying. aloud no it's not allowed and. we are working it out today and we are in our direction bakri may be heading the west seems to be the other way no matter how high the cost for these islands people. go r.t. . ahead of the program following the money we report on house in unemployment says americans to seek jobs in a fast growing market far from india. also coming up in sport conquering the elements for a team of young explorers want to call this region and to be to the north pole and have plenty of fun along the way. international peace envoy kofi annan has
2:10 am
warned there is still an unacceptable level of violence in syria despite the agreed ceasefire and also called for a speedy deployment of an advance team of u.n. monitors who had very far reports of bloodshed by both the government and armed rebels as r.t. is going to take on reports the observers mission is a crucial part of any peace process. kofi annan has expressed particular alarm at reports that government troops entered the syrian city of hama firing automatic weapons and said eve confirmed the firing is unacceptable earlier the spokesman for the envoy said the syrian government is not fully complying with the plan which was generally supported by the international community in which the syrian government claims it remains committed to the plan stressed the need to withdraw army tanks from populated areas and according to the un envoy they have satellite images which show that the tanks are still on the ground and that is seen as a violation of the six point plan but in order to get a full picture of what's going on satellite images are not enough and kofi annan stressed the need to increase the number of international observers on the ground
2:11 am
to one hundred by the end of the month earlier the u.n. security council approved the deployment of three hundred un observers the forefront group if you want observers is already in syria and everyone agrees that the u.n. needs more eyes on the ground to make sure that all sides of the conflict are doing their part because the plan addresses government forces as well as opposition forces and you do have people there who don't like the plan the opposition has not come up with a common response to whether they're going to engage in a dialogue with the government to work out a political solution to the crisis and that dialogue is also part of the plan as far as the u.s. washington says it supports the plan but at the same time they kind of expect it's failure here is what secretary of state hillary clinton said the u.s. is preparing for the potential failure of kofi annan plan to end the violence in syria and will take additional steps against the syrian government if it does
2:12 am
russia on the other hand sees kofi annan plan as the only way to bring about peace in syria and the you want observer mission as crucial to verify whether everyone is committed to it just this tuesday the rebels blew up an army truck in damascus there have been several attacks around the mess in the same day all targeted at the security forces several people were. help so you still have well armed militia there who are of course no match to the syrian army but according to the plan they too have to abide by they too have to stop killing well political analyst and they are but is that the balanced approach or fiancee peace plan has paradoxically failed to receive full international support hopefully the observers who are going to be deployed is so sure pressure that they are not only going to be able to monitor the movements so for the government forces but also the activities of the opposition government forces they know that the rebels the armed opposition is
2:13 am
going to buy their their place and the government obviously has a right to defend itself and the west it what they really want is the fall of the syrian government and it's probable that washington there are actually don't like the coffee because they feel it's just about there of time that they what they call for the peace block is do is to lead them in this day or for the assad regime there should be a commitment not just by the security council and the sending off monitors but also a serious commitment on the part of the west and also the. states is such as saudi arabia qatar which has the money first recently before they are going to pay the salaries of the arm of the rebels to provide the post with supplies isn't it with turkey. he said. the president of the european center for typical narcisse he believes media manipulation played
