serials deadly sins month into the truth about the violence persists with neighboring lebanon now dragged into fighting. europe's heavyweights prepared to square up to each other over cobbs. former government as well served to play to the bureau. and the world's top whistleblower takes on torture and illegal rendition and his latest explosive interview and it's here on our t.v. later this week.

hello and welcome to our teeth thank you for joining us it is ten o'clock here in moscow and well a month into the cease fire but syria's still suffering from violence and that is casting some serious doubt on the u.n. backed peace plan on monday the e.u. imposed a new set of economic sanctions against the country to palm the pressure but only on the government european leaders want to speed up the implementation of kofi annan peace initiative which they say has so far failed damascus claims it's being targeted by terrorist groups backed by foreign powers syria's on rest has been spilling across the border into lebanon with sectarian clashes between pro and anti assad supporters leaving at least five people dead international relations professor mark almond believes that even if syrian troops lay down arms it won't bring stability. i think that tragic situation i was even a president a sense that i retire gracefully to sorry

a lot of his supporters would be afraid of what would happen to them if they're evil troll equally a lot of people watched to gain control of her to use force we're now into a cycle of violence a great range and as we saw in libya. just because the regime is overthrown doesn't stop the violence when you had this kind of civil war and also external commenting and sometimes you know rather irresponsible way where people were doing was fine where. are we concerned about what happens after. america is resuming arms sales to after phrasing delivery last autumn because of the bloody anti-government crackdown washington says none of the weapons would be used against demonstrators but human rights groups see the deal as a signal the u.s. is supporting a dictatorship as can reports the decision marks a striking difference in approach to other countries and every into. the mic bahrain's persistent crackdown on protesters

journalists and human rights activists washington welcomes bahrain's crown prince as well thanks to the united states. and pledges to resume arms supplies to a key ally in the gulf. the us had suspended weapons sales to bahrain in the light of massive human rights violations by these sorties there but now the state department has issued a statement saying that american weapons will soon be heading to bahrain again. we've made this decision i want to emphasize on national security grounds we've made this decision mindful of the fact that there remain a number of serious unresolved human rights issues in bahrain which we expect the government of bahrain to address bahrain host the u.s. fifth fleet it's around forty ships two aircraft carriers sixteen thousand personnel a major force in the gulf region clyde prestowitz a top economist in the reagan and clinton administrations argues the us has traded

principles for military bases we've sided with the ruling. regime because of the base of the so of the fifth fleet. in the gulf. and so yeah i mean i think we compromised in the same statement announcing the resumption of arms supplies to bahrain washington calls for the country's opposition to show restraint. we concerned by what has now become almost daily street violence and we are in this context bahrain's political opposition to call for an end to the violence against police that's a stark difference from the u.s. approach towards other countries in the region engulfed in anti-government protests where the u.s. has tacitly or openly encouraged violence against government forces in libya the united states was openly attacking and supporting it was open openly supporting the

libyan rebels and their acts against the state even though this was. an art and the situation that now was the doing proper board and and then syria similarly there has been you know and there were only four or restrain from violence by the opposition forces there so it's a little bit are you there's only in bahrain it's a highly asymmetrical live situation it's not a case in which. in which there's enormous violence abroad by the protesters against the police forces it's clearly by the bahraini state against the civilians the general perception is that the u.s. doesn't want to rock the boat in bahrain because of its fifth fleet there so it's a case of eyes wide shot at human rights violations it might seem like a normal trade off in the walls of politics but critics say it makes a mockery of america claiming the high moral ground in other countries in the arab walled where political unrest wages i'm punishing our reporting from washington r.t.

. still to come this hour and day of desolation for palestinians. it's not by day which will see protests to mark the birth of israel sixty four years ago we bring you the heart rendering story of one woman whose painting crosses the divide . and there all a say use rocket with a three crew members on board is heading to the international space station where they'll spend four months where at the launch site in kazakhstan. is.

the official. one called talk. radio. dot com right seven minutes past the hour and an austerity showdown brewing and bergland france as newly elected leader prepares to lock horns with the german chancellor socialist francois hollande has been campaigning for growth while anglo merkel is europe's chief for belt tightening both have intense political pressure at home which is bound to make for tough talks as peter oliver explains. what francois hollande will in the french presidential election he rolled. off the biggest ally of nicolas sarkozy when it came to her she will stay as the only way

to tackle europe's debt crisis has not been a great recent period for the german chancellor seeing some of the post their own christian democratic party suffered major losses and an election in the state of north rhine-westphalia a state viewed by many as a bellwether for gauging the opinion of german national politics as well so with macos each day it all eyes are now looking to see if a new a range of arrangement can be sorted out between the leaders of europe's two largest economies francois along will be heading. straight after he is sworn in as french president on tuesday and he's being welcomed here by angle of merkel in what's being called very much a getting to know you exercise as opposed to a decision making wall however it is expected to be looking to you gauge. opinions on things such as fiscal discipline and the promotion of the economy and

of juleps though for his part campaigned on a plate that he would try and renegotiate the euro zone's fiscal pact which binds member states to austerity measures though this is something though that germany says is not on the table about fiscal pact is closed it will not be reopened or renegotiated be watching it closely expect will see some form of agreement some form of compromise reached but ups with a parallel treaty being created or an onyx to the wooding of the original document that could see could favor growth a long sight cutting the deficits now what is going to be interesting though is even if they can come to some form of compromise this could just be papering over the cracks we have to pull it politically. here you have a very polarized polarized political views all around believes that you have to

spend money to create growth and to drag european countries out of the financial minded they find themselves in. remains committed to austerity and belt tightening the only way that europe is going to be able to get itself out of recession and back on its feet. greece is edging even closer to the euro exit door after the latest talks to form a government have failed they'll be more on tuesday about the markets have already trumped in reaction while other e.u. nations are scrambling contingency plans the second largest party and greece is the latest to refuse to join a coalition force as more cuts political economist marcus kerber says even if our friends quits the euro it's still too late to save the currency the unconditional. euro savers as they are now prisoners of their own misjudgments their errors of judgment turn out to be fatal because the crisis about the euro is on far more than

just a currency it's about the future integration of europe and we have come to a point where we can no longer solve the euro crisis by simply urging or pushing or requesting greece to opt out and to leave the eurozone because the problems are far beyond that we could have some two years ago when the crisis was a very beginning so the discussion is no longer about greece the discussion is no longer about whether germany is profiting or benefiting less or more from the from the eurozone the question is how we can get the problem solved as quickly as possible without damaging the european integration process. there's more on the cracks in europe's financial foundations at our team dot com and here is what is also there for you in how the hacker group anonymous may be the most powerful organization on earth firms and law makers admittedly has access to every classified data base in the u.s.

thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture. just joined our team at fourteen minutes past the hour torture in guantanamo bay britain's complicity in the illegal rendition on suspects and a selective approach on who to regard as a threat america's war on terror is leaving a decidedly murky trail and it's what join us solves takes on in his latest show here on r.t. we supported you let's just admit this the british government both of them were generating fighters in the seventy's and eighty's trained them by the u.s. is in britain supported yet again just a few months ago when they were supporting. would you even for those who call themselves in libya against gadhafi the world's whistleblower is back and he's here
