only. syrian rebels reject the u.n. peace plan and renew international calls to impose a no fly zone to force out president. thousands of canadian students return to the streets to protest against the rising cost of education here in their country is copying the u.s. system that's flooded young americans deep in debt. and trouble in tripoli armed militia men take over libya libyan capital international airport and ground all flights demanding the release of one of their leaders.

one pm in moscow this is r t coming to you live from the sanaa it with our top story the opposition's free syrian army says it's no longer committed to the u.n. backed peace plan instead it wants foreign states to impose a no fly zone to help oust president also that that's as voices grow in some arab and western nations for armed action after the civilian slaughter in houla but it's more it's a notion of reports recent incursions dangerous precedents. ten days after the terrible massacre in the syrian city of who're the world is still watching to see how this tipping point will shape the crisis while there is still at least some hope of a peaceful solution many analysts believe those hopes are fading fast the american british and french push for military intervention in syria is absolutely enormous we've seen hague of course william hague the british foreign secretary calling for

intervention we've seen the new french president saying the same thing the americans obviously taking the lead the specter of a military solution has returned after the syrian regime was condemned internationally for the death of one hundred eight people half of whom were children before an investigation into who was responsible was even launched they're all saying that their side regime is committing human rights abuses and they repeat this message obsessive like i am confident to predict that indeed it will remain fixed in people's minds and could well be used as a pretext and you don't have to look back to far to see where hasty judgments saw a rush to take up arms but the cause of war and. exactly what happened when i would have a massacre which was the village of russia you have a u.n. inquiry that was severely bullied by the u.s. ambassador it was leaving your observation mission on the ground yet the claims that it was. innocent civilians by government troops serving it was when presented

with. them and. back then the yugoslavian government just like the syrian one now condemned militants for the killings in this case blaming the benon separatists from the kosovo liberation army an investigation was launched to find out whether the victims were innocent civilians as the international community claimed or whether the country's army had been battling professional fighters two out of three forensic inquiries proved. most of the casualties died in combat the third report by an e.u. team has never been made public interesting we know about we have been reports of syrian rebels whoever they are. with the. think of being course of the liberation army people who were basically agents of needle in the course or. basically training on how they were saying they were training in the marsian human rights but

really the only training that they could have ever even anybody is how to figure masculine or stage a war exactly what's happening now. but even with hindsight after the nato bombing of yugoslavia ruin the alliances those tribes in libya last year history isn't been prevented from repeating itself again and again when these disturbing images from the syrian village of whole are made world headlines everybody agreed those who are guilty must be punished but the reaction from the international community has been so sweet and so called donated the risk is that punishment will come before even those who are truly responsible are supposed and that could mean not just a loss of justice but also huge loss of life. r t moscow. well the rebels decision to quit the u.n. back truth as they motivated by the behavior of the u.s. and its allies that's the view of antiwar activist don de bar who's extensively

covered civil conflicts in arab countries. the united states is trying to kill it but it's absolutely essential that some sort of peace oriented mission take place or there will be bloodshed horrible bloodshed in syria little make libya look like a picnic united states has been very clear from the outset really of the activity in syria that they want to see assad go on they have geopolitical reasons for that particularly the relationship with iran and i mean let's be realistic here they're the u.s. has been intervening since this uprising quote unquote began the report earlier mentions the fact that these are clearly professional soldiers that are conducting these operations these are not protesters that decided to grab some rocks or maybe a pistol because of the response of the state to their protests this is an army that was placed there either emigres from syria or just foreign nationals gente generally that's being supplied from the outside from turkey the nato country from

jordan and from lebanon and so the intervention is already a fact whether or not it becomes an overt intervention outside of the u.n. which by the way is illegal or you know take some other form the intervention has been underway since this you know since the arms struggle quote unquote began. coming up later in the program here in our t.v. egyptians who want more than a minute for killing tyra braces for a third day of protests against what demonstrators called the lenient sentence for hospital barak and its former right hand. b.p.'s move all the world's biggest profits from t.k. b.p. forty billion dollars since two thousand and three but that looks to be over the room as its most important so the joint venture is an ambitious enough choice or just no bidding for the piece stake with all the latest in business in about ten minutes. so i'm worth rats hacker attacks and laws officially aiming to

tackle internet piracy but in fact infringing people's rights to online privacy it's an increasingly topical subject in the world's most famous whistleblowers aiming to get to the heart of it in his latest edition of his interview program here on r.t. julian assange gets together with activists from cypherpunk cypherpunk movement i should say here's a taste of what's coming up for you on tuesday. technology enables those surveillance of communication then there is to the other side of that coin is what we do with it we could admit that there are some indeed some legitimate use investigators investigating the bad guys and bad guys and so on but the question is where to draw these judicial supervision where to do the control that the citizens can have over the use of those technologies and this is a policy issue and when we get to those but you see shoes and we were looking at earlier we of. to sign something and don't understand the underlying technology

which is why we see so much hype about cyber war is that some people that seem to be in the authority about wars are talking about technology as if they understand it but they're always talking about war because that's their business and so they're trying to root technology into that and so when we have no control over technology we have these people that wish to use it for for their ends for war specifically that's a recipe for some pretty scary stuff. and we hear that one of the five for punk activist interviewed by julian assange staring me zimmerman was house for questioning upon his return to france apparently the purpose was to fish out information about the wiki leaks founder that's not the first time the program has provoked a rast with a top human rights activist from bahrain detained after talking to a science a month ago. canadian citizens are back on the streets thousands have marched

through montreal two days after talks with the government on tuition fees collapsed student groups are demanding a freeze on planned increases in higher education costs but authorities have ruled out that possibility protesters are now vowing to renew delhi rallies which last month led to fierce clashes with police and more than two and a half thousand arrest is going to chicken reports what started in february as a student strike has now grown into a popular protest against mirroring the welfare system of kind of the southern neighbor. the canadian province of quebec a region that prides itself on free healthcare and affordable education for its residents students here pay a fixed amount for tuition fees around twenty five hundred dollars a year for all of the colleges and universities that's the lowest rate in north america and the taxpayers pick up the rest but that model might change as their government looks south they are looking across the borders and seeing what the

united states are doing and trying to become closer and closer to what the united states are working on which is more and more proof is a shame and so they're having your social programs that cover for everybody. tens of thousands spilled onto the streets when the government said they'd be pushing up to we should fees every year and in five years the students of will face education cost almost double what they are paying now. i mean even you know is a student at a montreal university she works part time at a local ice cream shop she says if the people of keg don't stand their ground now in the future higher education just won't be an option for many if it's too expensive porch adenoma not even think about going to school because it's another world it's part of something that's accessible they're not even think about being a doctor or. you know it would be you know it's a symbol and what i was saying is so expensive so the people the poor

people they want to study they have no choice but going to army for the prospect of having to join the military to provide for their education is not the only thing about the u.s. example that scares the chua to fund skyrocketing tuition fees americans carry massive student loan debts on their shoulders that we need to preserve this and. what we've seen growing in the united states right now having a lot of students they are still paying for their university program and when they are seventy years old so we need to make sure that every students will be able to country. or. region and make sure that they have you can afford actually to start maybe. new and new businesses the rest of north america should be looking to come back as an example of how to mobilize how student association should function through direct democracy and how they should actually organize and challenge these

measures and challenge this whole system. to protest clearly signalled the path that is willing or rather not willing to take when we look towards the united states we see a country in which the idea of access is wrapped up in the ability to pay and this is what we're seeing the resistance against that access to things like higher education or like health care are in fact access to public goods and that there should be a way of controlling the costs and ensuring that people no matter what their monetary capabilities are able to take advantage of these kinds of programs. what the world knows about the protests here is that they have to do with students and their tuition fees but for people of the problem it's not so much about the economy but more about their identity and the special welfare model that they're striving to keep. reporting from onto. canada r t. now don't forget all the

protesters in last year's uprising although other mubarak associates were cleared of charges tom barton reports from the egyptian capital. protesters are occupying thai risk where in central cairo they're calling for a second revolution to change the situation in egypt initial happiness that former president hosni mubarak was given a life sentence turned to anger as other senior security officials were acquitted of involvement in the deaths of hundreds of protesters last year mohamed morsi the muslim brotherhood's candidate in the upcoming presidential elections second round in the country towards the camp he said that the revolution should continue and that if he was chosen as president he would try and get mubarak back on trial and how him execute it and the chief prosecutor of egypt has also said that he's going to try and appeal the acquittals of some of those senior security officials made

shafique is the other presidential candidates in this race seen by many as not really being sufficient not up to what they hoped for for this revolution and they see the court's verdict at this very crucial time in egypt as a sign that not much has changed and that the only military regime is still in power and mr shafique said that he would not reinstate that old regime and that a choice for the muslim brotherhood would take egypt back to the dark ages as he put it although he's going to have a lot of convincing to do to make people believe that he's not part of that old regime in the meantime as this election divides the egyptian people more protests are being held here in the capital and elsewhere over the country and more are being planned including a million man march through the capital. and clashes are reportedly taking place between rival libyan militia groups in tripoli as main international airport

earlier reports said an armed group seized the capital's main airport storming it with heavy machine gun. an armored vehicles their anger is directed at the country's leadership for detaining one of their commanders on sunday for more now on these latest developments in libya and what's going on in egypt as well i'm joined by dr amar shore director of middle east studies at the institute of exeter university thanks for being with us what does this latest news mean for post good daffyd libya how united are former libyan rebels at this stage. i think we see a reflection of what should have been dealt with the conservation process is not complete the demobilisation this armament and the integration of x. combat is not complete and now we have a situation of the independent armed brigades that are still existed in the bia

who did not join the military did not join the security forces but. not necessarily oppose the government but are still armed and still have a clear command and control structure what brought us into this crisis was the kidnapping of. the one of the affordable confident that he be an army from and that is a stronghold of. the habit she decided to join the revolution the she was in opposition and he decided to join the revolution resist on the side of caution and on the side of the. national transitional council forces . and now we fought with them and after the fighting ended after that a movement of political defeat we find some of the probably the supporters of of god if you still intervened and he disappeared. he was kidnapped according to his

followers they said he was kidnapped. to pressure the national transitional council to initiate investigations serious investigation they went on and took over tripoli airport so it is a very complicated situation you have a member of the revolutionary forces. libyan formerly indian army and the senior member in the armed forces that joined the national transitional council being kidnapped and his independent brigade the loyalist brigade they call it. decided to do this in protest of his kidnapping. i'd like to focus on egypt you of course are in cairo where mubarak's sentence recently has added to an already tense situation many believe it seems that he got a lenient sentence because powerful players of course from his regime remain in position and got off basically with no charges what's your take on the sentencing. it's a very serious situation as well as egypt what you saw is many believe it's

a message of impunity that has been said to the security generals here you have the ones who are vindictive. the head of the state security the head of the central security the head of the public security. directorate security director it's there was no way that a small deal or an officer could have fired on protesters on the twenty fifth of generally and on the twenty eighth of january without direct orders from these commanders to the very high level commanders in the police force. more than eight hundred people killed between twenty fifth of january and eleventh of february those were killed most of them were killed by the police force and many of the victims were trying to find the perpetrators of this who gave these orders and

therefore it was a shock for them. to find that those generals between conditions with found innocent or found not guilty so i think that will be appealed and now there is very much anger on the streets of egypt because of this verdicts many are going to protest into tomorrow there is a call for a million man march many of the presidential candidates from the revolutionary camp . visit one point to another and i think the other problem is that the in powers we have of factions within the ministries some of the generals who want to see the form and change willing to do so this verdict weakens them in front of the other faction that want to maintain things as it is want to keep the same status quo. the same policies and behavior that was dug out of time and therefore that it will have a. very serious implications on the security sector reform but also very serious

implications on the presidential elections because what this will do is many now are worried that if much of feel the last prime minister of mubarak and the runner up in the presidential elections if he won these elections there will be no change in egypt will be will go back to the times of mubarak and this will force them to many of them who don't like the muslim brothers who don't believe in this law must cause but will force them to vote for him directly you were just as candid we're short on time and i want to make sure we get a general question and just briefly for a broader picture how do you assess the results and consequences of the arab spring revolutions. i think at the results overall it's we had. the tyranny is like and we had cancer unfortunately here in egypt in libya and elsewhere and to treat cancer is there is a process and the chemotherapy process is

a very very ugly process and very painful process and right now i think we're going through this process but the democratic transitions across the i think there is a push for the advance of of democracy here in egypt and here in the there is now a chance that we reach a democracy and there is a chance that we don't. feel. the in tunisia there was no chance to move forward. after omar schorr director of mideast studies institute at the university of exeter thank you for being with us live from cairo. thank you. here as defense secretary is in vietnam as part of a charm offensive in asia that's not only encircling china in its own backyard washington is beefing up its military presence in the asia pacific area seen as an attempt to contain beijing's growing regional influence than other ones of greater american access to vietnam ports dr park long long from hong kong city university
