warm welcome to karen taraji and you just joined on our t. washington is helping to coordinate arms to the syrian opposition through arab allies qatar and saudi arabia the confirmation was given by an unnamed american officials however they say the u.s. is not directly supplying weapons to the rebel forces there's recently been an influx of arms from abroad to fight the regime in syria anti-war activist brian becker says the u.s. and nato still want to sought out. sony arabia qatar they have their own interests in terms of reorganizing the middle east principally of weakening syria weakening iran changing the relationship of forces in lebanon but behind qatar and saudi arabia and even turkey which has its own regional ambitions is the united states is

the nato countries the former colonizers of syria in the region who are committed to overthrowing the assad government and who i believe have crossed the rubicon now in terms of preparing for the all out intervention including military intervention by nato forces and remember turkey will be the gateway for nato as a nato power for the efforts by the west as they did in libya to use ultimately military power to overthrow a government independent government that they want to replace with a proxy regime in this important region assad government was hoping against hope that some sort of. mission such as the observer mission with kofi annan might be enough to keep the dogs at a but i think it's quite clear that when the united states and its allies saudi arabia qatar are pumping in huge quantities hundreds of millions of dollars of weapons right into the middle of damascus and other areas their intention is not to have a negotiated settlement but an all out civil war or as

a precursor as i said earlier to a nato intervention i think the united states is scripted it in a way that peace is impossible it says pieces demean but the united states and nato wanted to do because they're using have decided to use military force to overthrow this independent government more than a month into the ceasefire and syria still suffering from violence casting serious doubt on the land backed peace plan president assad insists his country is finding foreign mercenaries and al-qaeda linked militants or masking themselves as the free syrian army his comments came in an interview to russia's that i see at twenty four channel his first in nearly six months. first of all it's not an army and it's not free they get money from abroad from different countries that is why they are not free they are a bunch of criminals that have violated laws for years and a big victory on a number of charges they all say consist of religious extremists with ties to al qaida i don't just mean the organization itself but their extreme and terrorist

approach for nurse neris. in yemen however the u.s. is siding with the government with its troops providing targeting data to fight al qaida which some already dubbed an escalation of america's clandestine war in the country government forces used heavy artillery and warplanes to pound positions in the south of the country killing at least twenty nine militants al-qaeda linked fighters have taken over several towns in the past year forcing out troops under stablish in their own rule anti-war activist susan lindauer believes american help will do more harm than good hurting u.s. interests in the region. the united states has played right into the hands of al qaida it's been a long term ambition of al qaeda to manipulate the united states into putting sanctions on yemen so that they can alienate the very impoverished yemeni people

from the central government yemeni of course is the emmen is a scrabble poor country desperately poor they're running out of water they have no food they have limited hospitals limited educational opportunities and al qaeda yemen's sits right next door to saudi arabia ever since the bombing of the u.s.s. cole al qaeda has made it clear that it wants to establish a base inside yemen to attack the saudi oil fields right next door and anything that they can do to alienate the yemeni people from the central authority and the west the united states cause. this and this is a this is a this is a great victory for them it's a very bad decision by the united states coming up on r t a life apart. one palestinian family caught by the israeli barrier separating them from their community and livelihood. and for the first time in decades mexican immigrants

no longer want to go to the united states there may be something many americans wanted for a long time but soon they might start regretting it we'll tell you why. these are the images the world seeing from the streets of canada. today. all right at six minutes past the hour and the euro's on shaky ground as a caretaker greek government is being sworn in a senior judge will be heading it until next month's reelection fears about those quitting the single currency have been exacerbated by front to cash withdrawals from the country's banks but if you have the weights are still hoping to safeguard the euro by keeping the greeks in as artie's peter all over reports from berlin.

the attention of those who are looking to find a solution to the ongoing debt crisis in the euro zone is focused only on athens fresh elections being called for the seventeenth of june now this is following the failure of the political parties that to form a coalition government following early elections this month now those fresh elections are essentially elections that greece a country which is suffering severe financial problems can ill afford to be hosting . and of course the people who will be taking part in those elections will essentially be the same people who have failed to form a coalition government following the last round of ballots some of those people of course as well and those some of those political parties want to see an end to austerity measures which were laid down as part of a joint e.u. i.m.f. bailout greece was set to receive in june is it risky basically the message is no

will stare at the no money now in recent times we've seen around a billion dollars taken out of greek banks by investors who have become worried should greece leave the single currency leave the eurozone all of the five be kicked out of the eurozone would have to revert back to the drachma their savings would be essentially stripped of some value the president of the european central bank mario draghi has said that the e.c.b. will not keep greece in the euro zone it any cost that in fact that the it's not a matter for the e.c.b. to move the goalposts as it were to allow greece to remain within the single currency here in germany we've heard from chancellor angela merkel who is said alongside french counterpart newly sworn in french president francois hollande has said that they want to see greece remain within the u.

. and said that they're willing to try and help greece along through its financial troubles however they said that they will also respect the the results of a ballot should greece decide to elect people that want to pull him out of the euro zone now finance ministers in the we'll be meeting on the thirty first of may to talk more about the ongoing debt crisis throughout europe throughout the eurozone and the future of the single currency what happens if greece pulls out well it's it's unprecedented there would have to be a huge change in treaties across europe so all i hear in germany as well as across europe focused firmly on athens to find out what's going to happen next as this story unfolds money has been flowing out of greece for more than two and a half years now ever since its financial troubles hit economist albert domingo and the says if athens quits the eurozone it will see cash draining from smaller

economies into the hands of bigger ones. there probably osteria he is dead osteria he is a very confusing warts by osteria t. you can mean two very different things which is one casts expanding and the other is higher taxation the governor the president of the e.c.b. mind you that i as pork in about two different kind of hours staring a good one in a bad one get better one is the one may by raising taxes to good one is the one made by catholic public expenditure the problem is the unfortunate and the bad kind of post charity he's also the easy one to be pursued politically speaking but the problem is dave particularly in these days everything is about expectation and the way in lee county looks in front of the markets international now what may happen is to add you've got greece exiting the you know where to go following suit and

money basically being to leave in a way out of the italian and spanish banks to german banks and into austrian banks very savers believe their savings will be safer and this can bring to any northern italy action starting with this fact of capital to all in this country of course if you have to factor capital controls basically you are saying goodbye not just to the europe but to the entire dream of a unified common market. orderly or disorderly a chorus of analysts have been predicting a greek default later we ask i did to out chakraborty the economics leader writer for the guardian newspaper what he sees is next for athens. people have been modeling what a greek exit from the euro zone would look like for the best part of a year politically and economically politically even those who are in favor of greece leaving so. they would accept that it would involve beyond being straight

people it would mean the banks would also be the a.t.m. to not be working it would mean that people stopped from leave the country especially with this the bureau's in their back pocket because the country would then need to stop all capital from the country and to maintain a very high level move so it would feel affected like a country move more to. the question are all in the saudis really for the rest of the euro zone if the euro zone can say to the rest of the financial markets look greece is leaving but we all know greece is a special case you know behind our hands will say it's a bit of a basket case and actually its problems and not the rest of the euro zone that's what they really mean by an orderly exit if they can convince everyone that greece is leaving because of greece not because of the euro i don't think people in markets would buy that. march the

full interview with the economics later writer for the guardian newspaper in just over an hour right here on r.t. . israel's work to wall itself in is back on track after briefly pausing for protest marches on a palestinian knock but day which is held on the anniversary of israel's founding the country is building walls on most of its borders saying it needs to protect itself from attacks but the barrier it's constructing within palestinian territories are seeing families separated as artie's polis lior reports. a lonely house on a hilltop tells the whole story of palestinian plots of land passed on through the generations now under threat i don't read a number i don't want. i want my gran and for his insistence almost paying the price is small papa she is on the wrong side of the wall tel aviv is building between israel and the palestinians and what was once on mar was part of a larger village he'll soon be cut off from it and alone on the other side from

this i fear for me the. israeli tractors have already for eight months been building the prison or refers to digging up the ground around his house the plan will see his home cut off by a five meter high electrified fence and a tunnel monitored by security cameras will connect him with a larger village after. the experience for. this this this rod and go for in the. gold there is there little. village at the side she's got this tunnel two hundred fifty meter. this done she had a very big bowl for this five nearly on hundred thousand one hundred million dollars just to build this down for just only one for me. for a decade already israel's been building a wall that cuts through the west bank these raby states for security but

palestinians complain it saves them from their land and communities the leadership of israel is going crazy and they have no real plan their have no really vision no real vision of a very long term answer because walls will not and will never ever provide security for this one is a good neighbors it's actually provide security and we do not have good neighbors eventually the village of larger will also be completely closed in by the wall the only way in and out will be through this entrance that the israelis will control here too the israelis are building another town. well this one is so that omar's neighbors can reach a small family cemetery they'll be electrified fence and the local joke is that not only are the israelis separating palestinians from their land they're separating the living from the dead but with each tilt of the soil most families connection to the land is threatened to be even more polluted for much of. what they can do just as i did term future in. this. this for you

and this for my father. my grandfather. don't live in the future it's. like a future times against him and with every new brick it goes up the families isolation is cemented policy r.t. the larger village. r.t. dot com never runs out of stories for you to explore here's a quick test. the u.s. could consider transferring convicted arms dealer viktor boon to his native russia which has been falling for the return of the man dubbed by some of the lower four. and a feminist the last of the cannes film festival a french group demands filmmakers explain a lot of the no talent all show all the details are at our team.

thanks for joining r.t.s. one thousand minutes past the hour let's take a quick look at some other international headlines gunmen have raided a historic town on the libya algeria border known as the pearl of the desert seven people died and dozens were injured and god the mess which is a unesco world heritage site locals clashed with the attackers over control of a checkpoint on a desert route all thing used for smuggling libya's interim rulers have struggled to impose their will on the country's tribal groups most of whom fought for gadhafi in last year's uprising. a student demonstration in chile house turned violent after hundreds of people poured onto the streets of santiago demanding free education and sweeping school reforms protesters threw rocks at riot police who responded with water cannons fires were also started in several parts of the city mass protests have been staged repeatedly since last year but little is an

achievement. the trial of former bosnian serb general little bitch is continuing in the hague he is charged with eleven counts of genocide and crimes against humanity during the one nine hundred ninety s. yugoslav war among them the sedated but he admits some massacre one thousand muslim boys and men were slaughtered this is also alleged to have come out. added the siege of sarajevo during which more than ten thousand civilians died if convicted he faces life imprisonment. the american dream has been shattered for thousands of mexicans who become disillusioned with life in the u.s. faced with a fragile economy and a weakened job market immigrants no longer want to work there reversing a decades old trend madina question of are has the story. three inhospitable terrain to trigger happy border guards crossing illegally from mexico into the

united states is a pearl is journey which for many desperate for a new life was always thought to be worth the risk but times and more importantly condominiums have certainly changed before i was so i was working even two jobs on the. sunday i mean it was easy but now it's sort of so that if you go you can leave but you're going to spend the money to find a good job ten years ago gustavo like many other mexicans came to california illegally to earn money provide for his family and enjoy a harsh standard of living than at home but now he has joined the rapidly swelling ranks of those thinking it's time to pack their bags and have back south because of the poverty that was in the united states even people before maybe even middle class mexicans now they're falling into the lower class and now even. so a lot of people are saying i want to report here i might as well go back home and be or at least with my family. whether wanted or not in the past mexico has

provided the largest wave of immigration from a single country into the united states but now that's bigger just like america's economy has come to a grinding halt crippling unemployment and housing construction market lying idle and a sharp rise in deprecation charcoal combining to put people off seeking the good life in america during the five year period from two thousand and five to twenty ten a total net of one point four million mexicans immigrated to the united states down by more than half from the three million who had done so and the five year period nine hundred ninety five to two thousand mexicans that come here to the u.s. to take jobs far worse than labor it is why it's great for the banks because of the jobs that. we feasted so this travesty. raises the question just well still and. ron gotcha's a teacher and

a community organizer believes this sharp downward trend can lead to more drastic consequences if they leave the crisis in the united states and be far greater than it is now because you know mexican have to go to the grocery store they have to buy them to buy take anybody else so that's a lot of buying power talking about billions of dollars of buying power that the american economy cannot afford to lose americans have complained for decades that they want a last immigration from mexico that if chores started going on done and prices started rising they may soon started complaining that they one more might you know which no r.t. reporting from los angeles california. time to get the latest financial update with dimitri and richer i've just seen a line here the russian bears dominate the market how is that well that means that despite the fact that we've got positive news coming out of asia russian and bears or pessimists continue to sell shares we'll get to russia later but first indeed

selling with asia japan is optimistic about the almost one percent that's off the gross domestic product for the first quarter came in that one percent higher than the previous quarter with an annualized two point one percent growth and that was better than expected and therefore the hype but in europe if we look at what's going on there you'll see that well despite the fact that yes positive news from japan but you still have the political stalemate in greece you still have the risk that greece would leave the euro zone and therefore very cautious trade there well frank for being a bit more optimistic than a london but citibank economist. says the chances of greece leaving the euro zone are pretty high which would send a massive shock wave around the global economy worse than leaving drug. as in two thousand miles. it's a two thirds chance at least it greece will leave either this year or next then we

could we could know the answer really quite soon the primary concern is about exit contagion that is the concern that greece will not be the only country that would exit in its footsteps would follow other vulnerable countries including say portugal ireland or of course italy or spain and in that case i think the financial system in europe but also elsewhere will be under very heavy strains in another much greater stranger than was the case in the aftermath of lehman. on the russian market as i mentioned and as karen mentioned the russian bear does not sleep and we now have again downward pressure dominating the market with the out here so my sex going down around half a percent secular to what's going on among the stocks now as burbank as a liquid the stock is obviously in line with the market is down point eight percent financials have been taking a lot of pressure on them the past couple of days but other two interesting stocks here and transnet preferred shares they're up after reporting good two thousand and

eleven results with net profits rising more than fifty percent. and now let's move over to the u.s. markets which on wednesday finished in the in the red and that's on the back of j.p. morgan shares falling more than two percent with the new york times saying that its two billion dollars trading loss might come out to be a three billion dollars trading loss so therefore this this is why the shares were being down. on the currencies markets so the euro is regaining just slightly some of those positions against the dollar but the russian ruble is now mixed against the basket of currencies it's losing value against the dollar and gaining some here on the commodities markets are still not that much support to the russian ruble. with just forty cents a barrel added to or the lights we've learned the brant losing pretty much the same

amount. so really until we hear some kind of developments in the political deadlock in greece i guess nobody we will see all right many thanks for that update. more on money in a few minutes on the cars a report that's after the headline still to come.

my grandmother did not like we're going to become. he was afraid. and she was very good for the. chief though. our lives frankenstein's monster. we don't have the problem. every time and effort is made. on the palestinian or in the european side to negotiate in to the violent attacks against israel which i have no fear of war call the cowards so long as you have no fear calling the leader of the state of israel one of the main terrorists in the

world. we are supposed to be seriously examining history but you mention a few words about jewish culture labyrinth and people gets so upset this is i'm sorry to say it's a form of emotional blackmail. mission free cretaceous free transport charges free arrangement free. free. to tide free.
