the strongest american assets in the middle east and for many years we've removed that piece and brought in some people who i do not think will be friendly to us stuck. in this video film last month and egyptian cleric rally support for the brotherhood's presidential candidate so that there can no. you know we know yet that he is the last. see. thing. is that. the muslim brotherhood has many different factions many different elements they are a political organization but they also have ties to terrorism they're also directly intertwined with what's going on in syria according to the new york times cia officers secretly stationed in turkey are currently working with syria's muslim brotherhood to smuggle automatic rifles grenades and ammunition into the country it

didn't work out enough to understand what it was all mean you know it would be. oh it's not going to work out in syria is like you know some of that even easier than it would be. the syrian opposition seen here waving al-qaeda flanks has received public support from the terrorist network and created what some call a defacto alliance between america and its number one enemy. critics saying america's campaign for regime change comes with the consequence of empowering more radical and extreme leaders in the arab world let's not forget that assad and his government is a secular government just as gadhafi is government was a secular government if you get rid of that and you create the power vacuum or another force that is as organized and as strong will take its place continued political instability in cairo has raised questions about the so-called success attributed to the arab spring governments in egypt and libya were toppled with

a u.s. stamp of approval but with new regimes leaning towards extreme islam many believe america could eventually find itself in a circumstance it hardly ever wanted her an important i.r.t. new york. now nato leaders are to hammer out a response to syria's shooting down of a turkish military plane washington has described the act as brazen and unacceptable while britain says the assad regime will be held accountable anker insists the jet was downed in international airspace without warning or damascus maintains it was flying over syrian territory well turkey has denied claims the plane was on a spying mission saying it was on a training flight simming responded that its actions were defensive and not aggressive or wreckage has already been located in the mediterranean sea the search for two missing pilots on going on reese from the stop the war coalition says the incident was most likely an area that could yet turn into an international conflict

. witnessing the drawing in of the major powers into the conflict in syria we've seen here reprint in speeches warning the russians about the provision of attack helicopters we've seen the british send a ship back supposedly carrying a child it was from from around the coast of britain back to back to russia and now we see this incursion into syrian airspace by by the turkish air force what this all adds up to is a syrian conflict which is now becoming a conflict between the major powers and that's more dangerous even than the war in afghanistan or iraq where the major powers are more or less an ally do the same sorry trouble with the distances it's not so much who was exactly to blame on one side or another in this instance it's the political capital that we made out of it it is of course theoretically possible that what turks were doing was probing the syrian airspace to see whether or not they would react in this way ahead of

a more substantial intervention but i doubt it i think actually this is probably an error but when international relations become this tense when the diplomatic push through has been has been heightened to this degree such errors become part of a process of part of a wider process which is more than acts that launches deliberate and that's the danger of the situation. but inside syria rebels have reportedly captured a military base with ammunition in a northern province of aleppo sixteen soldiers dead after the attack the conflict is estimated by the united nations to have killed more than ten thousand people since it began early last year but children have been suffering in particular with around a thousand dead in the fighting started with a national report from damascus the. place for these kids mores and girls is at the playground someone dressed them in a new form hung them with real guns to use them what to say and who to. in front of

camera this little girl four maybe five years old and she's almost crying as people behind the camera pushed her and other kids to chant and slogans out of nineteen q it's tough for me sam and. this footage is just one in a series of clips posted online showing the ugly face of war unfolding in the country recent u.n. report says both sides in the syrian conflict the rebels from the free syrian army and the government are using children in their fight but good to see children among the price on demonstrators. four year old and young was raising his mother around and this is a microphone the king is carrying not a kalashnikov. was very young his father couldn't imagine that his youngest son's participation in apache artic rally would

put all his family in danger and lead to the murder of his other two children and that if they threatened us many times once the road on the houses wall that that time has come to them then they sent me a symbolic loop then they put the picture of riyadh on facebook as promising five hundred thousand syrian pounds to those and bring him to them we couldn't imagine they'll come to our home and not let me in i mean in my as i wanted to prepare for exams and went to sleep in the reading you know which i'm not and this is where they smash first out and they were shootings and they cried a lot barked at on my heat under the bed of our dreams and you know. and then they were to the school told me a week before his death that she feels you're not finished his exams and even if she does not get a certificate. i mention me as eldest son was shot dead on the way to hospital as he was trying to get help to his injured brother little rayyan escaped death only because that night he stayed with his grandparents and then i was crying because

they killed years and i miss him a lot i so wanted to get a good certificate again i would be. the funerals of the two teenagers who had been on the guard this is what they do here in syria the family says when someone dies as a martyr a laboratory to cue us this is their freedom i am out here now and then you'll be killed and then the less of me they wanted to kill a song like the hula and then see this is the government usually valinor not mine is that it's not losing anything that's enough to last a lot not ready to lose anymore how are you going to submit data about yemen has three more brothers left he has something to lose in this cemetery we found at least eight fresh graves small ones but in the rubble kids are becoming victims of grown up games in this conflict they've been used as human shields they've been forced to take up arms and they've been killed for a purpose they barely understand and no one can say for sure how many more will die

until always found to stop the violence. r.t. reporting from syria. well still to come this hour bending minds with art and how modern art controversial or sisters ruffled more than a few feathers in russia and sparked furious protests. the anxious wait continues for wiki leaks founder julian assange and ecuador's decision on whether to grant him political asylum he sought refuge at the country's embassy in london last week but police say he'll be arrested for breaking bail conditions if he steps outside while the final edition of his political show airs on tuesday right here in r.t. our correspondent sara firth has more. julian assange has just spent his six nights in the ecuadorian embassy here in london waiting for the all important decision his bid for silence in the country now he's

a man he's described being let down by his own country australia and having exhausted most of his legal options in the u.k. and going battle against extradition to sweden where he faces questioning if a sexual assault allegations and of course the fifth has always been that if extradited to sweden it would be very easy to extradite him across to the u.s. a country that still carries the death penalty for some of the crimes that they think he's to most of the chilean asuncion his supporters have always maintained that the case against him is politically motivated and i can paint the silence not just asuncion self but also wiki leaks now despite having spent more than five hundred days detained without charge that hasn't stopped julian assange engine in the time he's posted an insidious show this been running on our say you know in a previous show we'd seen him interviewing the president of ecuador and they seemed to hit it off the president of ecuador telling julian

a sound welcome to the club of the persecuted now in what will be his eleventh and final interview airing tomorrow nazi julian a son to meet with the man that he despised as giants of the intellectual left renowned linguist and rebel think a name shall be and believe the street fighting novelist and military historian joining that interview they discussed the new ways of revolutionary movements we've seen taking place around the world in the past couple of years interestingly at one point they discuss south america with recall even saying that the most dramatic and important developments of the past decade have happened in south america itself let's take a listen to what they have to say well i think that. over the last decade the most significant changes we've seen have comments from south america i mean i visited venezuela believe brazil and the mood is just different and many people say it's

the first time ever we feel really independent i think this is going to be a huge problem for the united states i mean we're obsessed with the arab world in china and now we room but in south america for kids when a bit more. the united states is not in control very apt perhaps that for his final interview is to activists who themselves have been very involved in revolutionary movements because of course many people consider julian assange a revolutionary as well especially through the work that he's done with wiki leaks of course one of the big questions when he took this dramatic step seeking asylum in ecuador was why ecuador why has he chosen a country that itself comes under a large amount of criticism for its human rights record put a lot of people have been quick to point out is that the united kingdom there's always pitched itself as a strong defender of human rights and certainly in julian assange just case his

supporters would say they haven't lived up to that they are still very much a sense that they let down julian assange in this instance as we await the decision we see me ambassador and are open traveling to ecuador where she met with president correia of course giving the full briefing over julian assange just case before they make that all important decision. and don't forget we have plenty more stories in store for you at our website r.t. dot com including crew to be kind rocky police said to be under orders to shut down numerous foreign and local media outlets on the pretext of protecting journalists in the country also. while multiple lawsuits are filed to try to stop an american biotech giant on sun toe from making genetically modified maize could a new breed of root worms be the lawyers to it find out more online.

now more arrests have been made in israel as under the protesters ago the outside the prime minister's residence in jerusalem demanding social reform comes after demonstrations and television on saturday when at least eighty five activists were taken into custody after clashes with police journalist and writer neary says the government is ignoring the people's demands. i think that the protests are needed but i think that what they learned from last year's protest is that the government doesn't really care what the people think the government isn't really going to respond or do anything to change the situation you know our electricity prices went out this winter. i mean shockingly high are stocked with my bill. so

i think that i mean there's a need for a new strategy and i think what we might have seen last night was a manifestation of a new strategy i stumbled upon a meeting at the at the end of last year's protests but not even that the protests at the very very end when the city was going to come and dismantle you know the last times there on the show and i stumbled upon a meeting where someone who was sitting on the margin of the group. did and it was kind of ignored by the people leading the meeting but he said we need violence you know violence will be the only way to change things i'm not sure that that's the correct answer i don't think things will change if they didn't change after last summer when you know hundreds of thousands were now if you could get maybe a million or two million marching that could seems things but i don't think that's going to happen. but some more news in brief for you now this hour to news you know authorities have extradited the former libyan prime minister. thank you in the first high ranking official to be returned to his country to face trial the sixty

political isolation of more latin american countries recalling their ambassadors from the country of venezuela went as far as declaring it's ending oil exports to paragraph which has also been suspended from a regional economic organization. modern art is meant to fuel creativity ignite inspiration and provoke thought and discussion but one russian artist got more than he bargained for with his scandalous artwork a signal to the wave of protests instead his latest work in a city aiming for the european capital of culture title is no less controversial a correspondent there are reports. a small but intensely passionate protest in russia's southern city of krasnodar. the crowd blocks the entrance to stop the opening of a modern art exhibition it's called icons and on display our works by contemporary artist made of plastic the last supper is depicted as a tense business meeting while a metal exhibit called trinity has also brought

a hostile reaction it's a clash between old and new. items the display is an attempt to make sense of how traditional i can play doing has transformed in the modern world that invokes natural resentment among people who think conservatively. the exhibit in curator who was welcomed at the opening by being spat in the face claims the problem is people's ignorance is exhibited we're not contemporary artists language is often obscure but what differentiates an unsophisticated person from a peasant if the former doesn't understand what he wants to try and learn while an ignoramus simply deny everything however it isn't so much the show itself as the personality of its curator that ignites protests across russia at most exit bishan is he's involved in matter of gilman's name has been synonymous with scandal for

you is it that you would this is the man who tries to sell as graffiti in public toilets as art. gilman's previous exhibit that included kissing a policeman a crucified jesus christ with the head replaced by the order of lenin and a photo of an orthodox i can being smashed with an axe have caused widespread outrage in russia that i have a degree in art and what he calls art is nothing of the sort it's an abomination and evil game plan to bring a cultural revolution to the central russian city of perm by carrying out a total make over shocked most locals more you. used to traditional forms of art little headless red men dotted around the city and other innovations didn't go down well nor did the annual price tag of ninety million roubles or around three million dollars of public money given now wants to spread what he sees as contemporary art into other promises but faces furious resistance shook up out of bristol we're not

against a center for contemporary art in our region but we don't need to go in here for that it would have prostitute the headmaster of a boarding school for young girls be sure within two years they would all become whores no matter the amount of protests and controversy in the end all of my arguments exhibit do open and attract derrius people what's interesting though is that gilman is not alone in promoting contemporary art in russia but no other exhibit have ever provoked such an emotive public response in all the six years nina worked at the moscow museum of modern art there wasn't a single scandal within its walls despite many product of exhibits about the artist breaking boundaries can certainly provoke an biggest reactions it can be to the benefit of modern art but also to its detriment. however change is in the even the most conservative members of the church have learned by know what performance is for the relics he was the one who spent

a month at the opening of the show in cross and. i came forward as a contemporary artist maybe amateurish but still an artist experts in the field so my act of spitting fully falls under the definition of performance art. well know that it was the business desk of the touches that for us hi there and there were no the st petersburg economic summit is over for investors focusing on this week that. while there's actually a lot to focus on just a couple of highlights on monday we're anticipating that spain that will actually formally request aid for its ailing banking sector and of course there's a much anticipated two day european union leaders summit that's expected to launch on thursday but let's now move on to where the action is right now and that's asia

where stocks are actively trading this hour and as you can see the asian mixed with the nikkei shedding value on hong kong say above the law and the nikkei is mainly pushed down by the companies and hong kong is as i said is doing quite well at the moment all street saw a rebound on friday using closing figures like here they are and the banking sector did quite well thanks to the european central bank easing the rules for the banking sector to use as collateral to secure funding from the central bank and on to the currency markets at the moment as you can see see the markets. there as you can see the euro is a losing value against the dollar the russian ruble on friday a lost value against both major currencies the euro and the dollar and i will bring

you all the latest as soon as the russian markets reopen it's less than two hours ahead of the opening bell here in moscow let's see how the russian markets closed on friday here the closing figures and as you can see it was a bad day in fact the russian equities were among the worst performing in the emerging markets sector with the r.t.s. shedding around two percent of its value and now on to crude crude is rebounding this monday with the trading above eighty dollars a barrel something's something well those oversold there's a concern about tensions in the middle east and the upcoming hurricane season in the united states but in any case as i said crude is gaining and for russia that's always a good thing but the important issue is what formula is used to calculate the oil price for the russian budget and that's exactly what the cabinet is now trying to

reconsider and it is if it's managing to calculate a new formula it may actually boost the windfall well of revenues for the russian budget and help ease its dependence on oil and these revenues jim o'neill from goldman sachs thinks that's actually a good idea. this year it's going to grow between four. and a developed country and if it carries on growing it will be more to the world than the whole of your put together i think it would be good for the process because the news just really needs to not be so dependent on the drug of rising oil prices you know. russia's got a lot of challenges. but you know so does everybody else. and that's all the latest from the business desk i'll be back and about fifty minutes
