have been actually documented by un observations in syria so far. it's very clear that there are local regional and international powers that are adamant on a spark of some sort of civil war in syria based on sectarian criteria and ethnic factors they are trying now to play their final card which is the sectarian factor the ethnic factor that's why we anticipate that some more massacres will take place committed by those two groups fundamentalist salafist twenty six libyans two new germans. and some citizens of other arab countries have been killed in action in syria and what they call the jihad what we call some terrorist acts against syrian civilians the syrian army and syrian

security forces if they decide to take it for this is that they have to bear with it this is not libya this is not yemen this is. we were violence from syria spread across the border with at least thirteen killed and dozens injured in recent clashes between pro and anti assad supporters in lebanon that country's also said to be one of the major arms hubs for the rebels fighting against the regime in neighboring syria but this deadly weapons flows also a matter of faith not just money as art is great for national found. a seller shows off his goods. this is five thousand dollars thirteen hundred eighteen hundred and two thousand the seven machine guns between two and a half and three thousand u.s. parks shaadi not his real name also has rocket propelled and hand grenades which he showed me in private. come contact me every day we have a revolution next door. we talking shop his garage in tripoli lebanon on

syrian rebels are his major clients are very popular but recently they're looking for a really heavy stuff we buy from her and they're ours and resell they have a nerve and they're getting it for free and as iran makes their entire story. it will take no more than ten hours for this shot he says to reach lebanon's conflict and gulf to neighbor since the beginning of the uprising in syria last march arms prices have rocketed for some items the coast has gone up five and sometimes even ten times and the more the conflict drags on the mall look at if it ends for the weapons dealers but money's not the key reason shaadi is a sunni muslim and to him it's his holy do you teach or support his co religious fighters in syria for sure. and a sunni dominated snowflake been on where we meet the arms dealer those who want assad

out the absolute majority and they are sending their villages brothers in neighboring syria a lot more than prayers. a mad twenty nine year old field commander from the free syrian army was wounded during the baba amr a siege earlier this spring together with other injured f.s.a. members his now having treatment in lebanon but his not stopped fighting entirely. material experts everywhere in the world or people from britain the saudi arabia also send his money by weapons walkie talkies. he says every day tons of these aid go through his hands but for him it's not enough as soon as he gets better he'll return to syria. is a selfie erotically sunni group whose influence in this part of lebanon is growing dramatically. there are demonstrations in favor of the syrian uprising a role so to support package everything sounds. we

also made some of fish a comedy back one of the founders of the band islamic group this is packed out of links to international terrorism but he says his input in the syrian revolt in sending the rebels the ideas and encouragement to achieve their ultimate goal would be to make all the overthrow of the government we will make order schools speak for against the. issues make them all up lies again to see a government and other summer fish a can triple the runs this car parts shop and he confirms that every sunni and especially every salafist here in lebanon is involved either ideologically or financially in what he calls syrian liberation. already helped the tunisian and egyptian revolution we want syrians now to get rid of this regime. shake muslim doesn't wear muslim white robes and give his beard sacred to every cell of feet

shot so as not to draw too much attention he says everybody sekret pfizer's something these days just to see their mission and i sobbed. syria completed. reporting from northern lebanon. all the top level two of you are europe president putin said this last week that he urged patience to let the kofi annan plan come into effect in syria he was speaking ahead of a meeting with european leaders in some petersburg which kicks off later on sunday got a lot to discuss too as you want to explain. was it puts in his first stop was in minsk which many saw as an indication that russia's foreign policy now will focus more on the closest neighbors and the c.i.s. countries many observers also saw this visit as the beginning of the supposed plan of economic and eastern bloc now off you went afterwards to berlin on a whirlwind visit which lasted for only half a day was going to put an end german chancellor angela merkel who seemed to see eye

to eye on the matters concerning syria now earlier in the week u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton said that russia is aiding to the troubles in syria by continuing to support the regime of president bashar al assad to which of course the russian president prepared a response. but russia unilaterally supporting the assad regime. we have longstanding good relations with syria but we are supporting the conflict. i agree with chancellor merkel that our common objective is to be. both russian and german leaders seem to believe that kofi annan speace plan should be seen to progress to fully at the moment it does seem like a strong a by the seemingly unstoppable of fighting on all sides in syria now of course that not all leaders in europe seem to agree with the french president francois long also earlier in the week did mention that france supports military

intervention in the middle eastern country and of course that is something that russia is adamantly against and that was why. the matters discussed by putin on his last leg of the european tour which took him to paris now of course there is no agreement on the issue of syria among the european leaders among other issues which were also discussed or mentioned to. meet with the french president of course was the issue of. now russia's russia's adamant that the plans for creation of a missile defense shield in eastern europe a plan much hailed by nato and the united states as being very much needed by countries to counteract the pose a possible strikes from the likes of iran in north korea now these plans were very much and moscow has been adamant in its demands that nato and its allies present written guarantees that this missile shield will not be used against russia.

in the past we've often been promised good news you wouldn't expect then we were promised a new two wouldn't put military hardware near russia but we've seen it expand and its bases spirit know we need guarantees but i'd like to say we're not going to escalate this discussion we've already invited all partners to engage in dialogue it is natural that all of these issues of course will crop up during the russia e.u. summit which kicks off in st petersburg today and although we probably cannot expect a major breakthrough to be done it is clear that a lot of people lot of observers as well as all of the european leaders involved are hoping that some sort of movement forward will finally be made at least in some of these topics thousands in egypt to be venting their anger over what they say is a lenient sentence to the former president hosni mubarak's been jailed for life of the killing of eight hundred fifty protesters during last year's uprising crowds

gathered in tahrir square the mother no retrial and the death sentence for the president but also furious that mubarak to some several security officials have been acquitted. and raged morbus attacked the offices of presidential candidate and mubarak's last prime minister came to gyptian times freelance journalist phil truth reports from tahrir square which. people at the moment are really quite angry with the verdict first when they heard about barak was given twenty five years of life sentence they were euphoric because people busy making would just be done for corruption charges however they realized that his sons and i come out and also the interior ministry they were actually of course it's people started to realize that perhaps the verdict wasn't what they wanted so what we saw was actually a mass on price here for us egypt where people basically came to the streets were streaming angry about the fact that the heart of people calling for justice and now the barracks the funny story is did actually lodge an appeal earlier seen as the verdict was ready announced i mean that's one of the biggest case the protesters

are. fearing really is that you will actually. be could step towards this here i'm not touching me and up serving my full life sentence this is why people are still on the streets basically people don't believe that the dishes system is transparent so they think that perhaps that part will be acquitted because that's what the regime the old regime is still in place once people are beginning to make the connections between what they consider to be the old regime and the new regime which the military council basically what they seen is mubarak get off like me they want to hear they want to see the death sentence they wanted his sons to be put in prison at the same time you know the background of elections where the barak's former prime minister mr feature is actually considered to be one of the most popular candidates so people are really fearing is that this regime will never end the revolution is in fact not worth coming up at all to soften instability versus sovereignty the irish people vote yes for more cuts to brussels but we fear is that

more decisions are also being taken in the violence than before. and nato led peacekeepers using live rounds on. protesters as kosovo's volatile north slips into violence again. the wiki leaks chief julian sands lost his appeal against extradition from the u.k. to sweden where he's wanted on sexual assault charges but in supreme court ruled on wednesday that is a rest warrant was lawful and songes team was given fourteen days then to appeal the decision which the world's top whistleblower says is politically motivated sara firth reports for r.t. from london. the truth shall set you free all know the supporters were out in full six weeks for julian assange tearing his appeal was rejected in a split five t. decision by the judges after all the five hundred days of house arrest in person he's now on the brink of deportation to sweden to answer questions about sexual assault accusations he say

a trumped up basic point you remember that julian hasn't been charged with any crime in any country and it really is extraordinary so much pain actually joy it just sequestering. it all began when we started revealing uncomfortable truths about the u.s. government the afghanistan and iraq war logs gave shocking detail about the violent occupation of these countries the scale of civilian deaths on potential war crimes all at the hands of u.s. forces and the swedish arrest warrant wasn't far behind i think this will send a chilling effect to all potential be so close that if they dare challenge the secrecy and indeed in many cases war crimes of united states they will face retribution and that's bad for democracy it's bad for human rights the case is being seen by many as a david and goliath style fight with a stanch taking on not just the legal system but the establishment that seek to

silence him and wiki leaks and it's not just the government media that champion the songes of freedom of speech defend spectacularly turned on him in recent times he didn't want to be a member of the club. and that was the problem we can reach produced in a matter of. revelation about the workings of democratic of the workings of the world in many ways how the world is wrong when all the news by western world put together. the word jealousy comes. in a further twist. in the tail songes legal team managed to get him an eleventh hour extradition stay if they fail this battle is likely to end up in the european court of human rights it is being really richard. it should not be have. told me. that he is disappointment among his equality at the station and i will

tell you that this wasn't just the last beginning a sponge and his legal team but a loss by the british justice system as well third bad. journalist and author who's been following a songes case believe sweet was determined to see him extradited but what i've seen so far on the net is pretty consistent with what we have seen all along in the past eighteen months or so and that is a mainly hostile and negative attitude towards. julian assange and his attempt to avoid extradition to sweden i think the swedish prosecutors have invested so much per stage in this case that they're under a lot of pressure to get him convicted of something so i don't think they're just going to walk away from the case but they may surprise or she. spent most of my life first floor in the united states citizen and i have studied its foreign policy and its government's activities for quite a while and it would surprise me if they don't try to get it i think it's

a given while on the rest of britain julian assange has filled this talk show continues to do that it has next year not see this choose they don't get you know to catch the previous episodes as well online from i said r t v dot com. the irish people have said yes to bore us territory this last week in a nationwide referendum supporters say that said to ensure stability it was a rescue cash while critics fear the country will lose the power to make its own decisions that is laura smith explains. ireland says yes to writing european austerity into law and ceding more sovereignty to brussels the sixty forty result saw a split between rich and poor with middle class and rural areas in favor and working class. against sinn fein leader gerry adams campaigned vigorously against the treaty and is now island's most popular party leader as a result of government. commitments during.

it's a huge factor it's the discretionary spend that people have. you can see it throughout . the restaurant. people are very very very careful on how they spend their money to pay the economies tightly bound to the ailing eurozone through bank loans and bailouts the treaty binds budget treat policy even tighter so that brussels will have a say over how arlen spends its money so when he lives social justice i'll. and says it's a badly written treaty that will do what it's meant to do what we're looking at no is a limiting limitation being imposed by this treaty which we believe quite strongly means that we cannot put in the investment levels that are required of the scale that's required to actually generate the draws to produce the jobs that are required if i was to get out of this mess that it's in thanks to the constitution the irish of the only european people who got to vote on the pact and all but two
