syrian opposition and forcing all set out admits there are plans for military action sarah moves sarek from america's sarah hughes to diversity believes the u.s. never truly backed the peace initiative. everybody in washington wants regime change everybody. in europe and as well as the gulf countries and so it was always condemned from the very start they never gave it a chance they never worked or did anything to try to see to its realisation they never ever put any pressure on their so-called friends in the syrian opposition and instead in fact harm to the syrian opposition and increase the violence and increase the bloodshed so it is quite rich now that they will without any evidence at all and while an investigation is ongoing automatically condemn the syrian government for what is a war this is a civil war you know the the western reaction and provocation of everything that's going on in syria is just the same old story over and over again they will not stop until they have regime change and so they do not want peace they do not want to

succeed and we know that foreign fighters are going in not only weapons from the gulf facilitated by the west but also foreign fighters are going and stoking we know that here in lebanon they are fighters being trained in the north and they go across the border frequently to stir up trouble and to create more antagonism between the sunni and the other way community and it's just a tragedy that's unfolding and the syrian people are the ones who are suffering about two thousand soldiers and security forces have entered areas of the lebanese city of tripoli to restore calm after deadly clashes between pro and anti syrian regime gunman the army was deployed in order to reach an accord on the implementation of security measures at least fourteen people have been killed and dozens injured in fierce fighting over the weekend lebanon is also thought to be a major arms hub for the syrian rebels but as for notional reports the deadly weapons flow is also

a ring of glue she explains. was it puts in his first stop was in minsk which many saw as an indication that that russia's foreign policy now will focus more on its closest neighbors and the c.i.s. countries many observers also saw this visit as the beginning of the supposedly plan of economic and eastern bloc now off you went afterwards to berlin on a whirlwind visit which lasted for only half the 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 so we can see it but russia is unilaterally supporting the assad regime room we have longstanding good relations with syria but we soon to be conflict if

the situation and i agree with you they don't come in and. both russian and german leaders seem to believe that the coffee on speed planet should be seen to progress to excess 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 and 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 one of the matters discussed by puttin 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 put in meeting the way that the french

president of course was the issue of missile defense now russia is russia's adamant . the plans for creation of the 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 suppose it possible strikes from the likes of iran and north korea now these plans worry moscow very much and moscow has been adamant in its demands that its nato and its allies present written guarantees that this missile shield will not be used against russia could be. in the past we've often been promised they wouldn't expand then we were promised that need to wouldn't put military hold when the russian seen it expand and its bases spread you know we need guarantees but i'd like to say we're not going to escalate this discussion we've been ready and willing to help out is to engage in dialogue it is natural that all of these issues of course will crop up during the russia e.u. summit in st petersburg and although we probably cannot expect

a major breakthrough to be done it is clear that a lot of people a 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 have been venting their anger over what they say is a lenient sentence for the former president hosni mubarak is now serving life over the killing of eight hundred fifty protesters during last year's uprising but they're also furious that mubarak's two sons and several security officials have been acquitted. is in car. hundreds of protesters occupying terrorists where behind me and more reporting into the square large demonstrations have also been called for later in the day this all started yesterday initially with joy at the life sentence that was given to former president hosni mubarak but then turned to anger as

a number of security officials in his administration were acquitted of any involvement in the deaths of hundreds of protesters in egypt's revolution last year . the verdict has given the police the green light to do whatever they want because they knew they wouldn't be punished he want those who kill their children to get life sentences and hosni mubarak and his interior minister should be executed. no doubt this verdict humiliate a year and a half the for the resolution of those who rule in this country escaped justice we know they're going to appeal the verdict people should unite to prevent that that's worse than what mohamed morsi the muslim brotherhood can do that in the upcoming second round of the presidential election said that the revolution the started last year in egypt should continue and that if he was elected president he would make sure at least try to get mubarak back on trial and have him executed the top

prosecutor in egypt he's going to appeal the acquittals of those top security officials people here who are really focused on yesterday's verdicts and they're said that that is the sign that the military here that the old grey she may still in power chafee is the other candidates in the election he is mubarak's last prime minister a former general he has had offices of his both in the capital and in other towns raided and people say that they were even doubting whether a second round in the election should go ahead after chesapeake has said that he wouldn't reinstate the old regime but he's going to have a lot of convincing to do to try and make people believe future demonstrations planned in the coming week including a million man march through the capital. who would you least julian those songs lost his appeal against extradition from the u.k.

to sweden this week where he's wanted on sexual assault allegations britain supreme court ruled on wednesday that his arrest warrant was lawful songes team was given fourteen days to appeal to susan which the world's top whistleblower says is politically motivated sarah firth reports from london. the truth shall set you free oh no the supporters were out in force this week for julian assange tearing his appeal was rejected and spent five to decision by the judges after all the five hundred days of house arrest in britain he's now on the brink of deportation to sweden to answer questions about sexual assault accusations he's 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 that so much pain actual joy just for the purpose of questioning. it all began when we started revealing uncomfortable truths about the us government the afghanistan and iraq war logs gave

shocking detail about the violent occupation of those 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 or potential whistleblowers 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 has been seen by many as a david and goliath style fight but the stanch taking on not just the legal system but the establishments that seek to silence him and wiki leaks and it's not just the government media the 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
