everybody in washington wants change everybody in europe and as well as the gulf countries and so but i 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 arm 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 the annan plan to succeed and we know about foreign fighters are going in not only weapons from the gulf facilitated by the west but also foreign fighters are growing and stroking we know that here in lebanon there are fighters being trained in the

north and they go across the border frequently to stir up trouble and to create more antagonism between 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 the areas of the lebanese city of tripoli to restore calm after deadly clashes between pro and then to syrian regime gunmen 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 the fields fighting over the weekend lebanon is also thought to be a major hub for the syrian rebels but as maria notional reports the deadly weapons flow is also a matter of the. a seller shows off his goods. this is five thousand dollars this is thirteen hundred eighteen hundred and two thousand the seven machine guns between two and a half and three thousand u.s.

syria for sure we. will help them topple assad till they do it. in a sunni dominated north never known where we meet the arms dealer those who want assad out are in the absolute majority and they are sending their religious 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 bubble armor siege earlier this spring together with other injured f.s.a. members he's now having treatment in lebanon but his not stopped fighting entirely . we have supported syrian ex-pats everywhere in the world people from britain france saudi arabia also send us the money we buy weapons walkie talkies. borders he says every day tons of this aid to 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

a radical sunni group whose influence in this part of lebanon is growing dramatically. there are demonstrations in favor of the syrian uprising a role so part of the support package everything sounds. we also made some of fish a call might have bakley one of the founders of the band islamic group suspected of links to international terrorism and he says his input in the syrian revolt in sending the rebels the ideas and encouragement to achieve the ultimate goal would be to make all the overthrow of the government we would make all the squabbles speak for against the. issues make them all up lies against a sea of government and other selfish 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.

the 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 usually russia is unilaterally supporting the assad regime. we have longstanding good relations with syria but we soon to be conflict. and agree with. common objectives. both russian and german leaders seem to believe that coffee on speed planet 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 one of 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 put in a meeting with the french president of course was the issue of missile defense now russia's 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 the supposedly possible strikes from the likes of iran in

north korea now these plans worry moscow 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 should be shared. in the past we've often been promised we wouldn't expect then we were promised a new two wouldn't put military hardware in the russian but we've 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 go partners 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've 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. around the clock most protests carry on for the second month in a row in egypt over hosni mubarak sentence the country's also that leader is serving life for complicity in the killing of eight hundred fifty protesters during last year's uprising two sons and six security officials have been acquitted which also caused a burst of indignation among the people. is in cairo. hundreds of protesters occupying terrorists where behind me and more reporting into the square larger 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 we want those who kill their children to get life sentences and hosni mubarak and his interior minister should be executed. no doubt this verdict humiliating a year and a half after the revolution those who ruined this country escaped justice we know they're going to appeal the verdict people should unite to prevent that. mohamed morsi the muslim brotherhood candidate 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 the u.s. today's verdict snow said that that is the sign that the military here that the old

regime may still in power chafee is the other candidate 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 which i pretty house said that he wouldn't reinstate the all regime but he's going to have all of these very free to do to try and make people believe the future demonstrations planned in the coming week including a million man march through the capital. of as a journalist and danny says this level of mohamed morsi has promised to execute mubarak shows they his only intention is to win the election not to build a democratic and will for egypt they are also people demonstrating against. life sentence which do see as very lenient but it also has to be said there are

also commentators and other people who do the key to successful revolution is precisely to do this on the mood of the room and indeed to send an execution of mubarak would be a setback to not only egypt's revolution but also to the arab spring in general surely and a key to a successful revolution is not to see the america tactics being reproduced in a tree in democracy in egypt but the two candidates who are switched to capitalize on. said that he was in great danger just. because it means that nobody is in the middle now this is a man who was a very trying to highlight he's traveled he was in peace dies a little more regime really and he's complaining that the egyptians are mainly concerned which are weak prominent figure in very. regime should enter.
