the russian capital you're watching are with me marina joshie welcome to the program hopes of a diplomatic solution to the syrian crisis have risen after a major world powers agree to peace strategy for the war torn country the new plan calls for the creation of a transitional government that could include members of president assad's cabinet and the opposition russia hailed the agreement as one that doesn't dictate a political solution for syria or she's a gorgeous can offer has been following the tense talks between international players in geneva. they didn't manage to agree on a new plan the transition plan as it's called the powers which do include the that it states and russia. do we consider it of the utmost importance that this document does not seek to dictate to the syrian side how the transitional process should happen politically how exactly this process will take place this is up to the

syrian people this document is very precise and. there are no more preconditions and no all to mesdames voice here and actually as foreign minister sergei lavrov said those were some of the more stumbling points during the in a sense previously some of the outside. of syria of course did call upon some preconditions such as the immediate step down of president assad now powers have agreed that it is strictly up to the syrian people to decide whether they do want to see president assad in power or not or all the outside players the world trying to to apply pressure on all sides of the conflict the authorities and the rebels in order to get them to the peaceful negotiating table and to build this transitional government which should also include all sides of the conflict both from the afterwards and from the rebels and it is planned that this transitional

with this civil war this being fomented and syria that's a different story now we have the potential for massive religious division massive ethnic and tribal division and of course this is what the imperial historically what imperial powers love the most which is to divide and rule and if we if we if we remember syria lebanon on was carved up two or three times since one thousand nine hundred seven since the french mandate so look at look at the the strife you've had in the middle east since before world war two there's a direct result of artificial borders in the twenty first century you really have to ask or so have we learned our lessons from the past as the urgency for international agreement on syria is underlined by the growing daily violence there as marie ivanovna reports even the youngest country are being dragged into the conflict. this was the place for these kids boys and girls is at the playground and someone dressed them in a military uniform hung them with real guns told them what to say and put in front

of camera now and 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 hard 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. to look and see children a month your son demonstrators four year old or young is praising his motherland and this is a microphone the kids carrying not a kalashnikov. baryons 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 house was walled at that time has come then they sent me a symbolic loop then they put the picture of rwanda on facebook as promising five hundred thousand syrian pounds to those who bring him to them we couldn't imagine they'll come to our home and not let me in i mean in my ears i wanted to prepare for exams and went to sleep in the living room which is not and this is where they smash first out they were shootings and they cried a lot barked at and i heat under the bed. and then they were to the school. isn't true and we've before his death that he feels you'll not finish his exams and even if he does you'll not get a certificate that's got into submitted everything he told me wants mom they gonna kill me. i'm unsure me is 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 i was crying because they killed years and i miss him a lot so wanted to get a good certificate again i would be the funerals of the two teenagers had been on a guard this is what they do here in syria the family says when someone dies as a martyr. my boy tried to cure us this is their freedom and if you're not with them you'll be killed and in the letters to me they wanted to kill a song like a hula and then see this is the government usually valinor not mine is that it's true not lose anything that's enough to last a lot not ready to lose any more how it has a thing someone did of have it out yemen has three more brothers left he has something to lose and this cemetery we found at least eight fresh graves small ones but in the rubble kids are becoming victims of grown up games and 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. as syria looks for ways to end the violence warning signs elsewhere about the dangers of outside intervention still had. the u.s. and nato involvement in libya last year has sparked conflict and mali well of the negative effects that foreign military engagement can have in the entire region. plus iraq obama welcomes in a new egyptian president mohamed morsi found the support of the country's push to democracy but we asked if the new regime will pose concerns from washington. this week saw the german chancellor angela merkel returning from an east summit defeat it for the first time in years leaders have agreed to allow the european bailout

funds to funnel money directly to struggling banks germany have strongly opposed this option but was forced to give in after assistance from spain and italy but on a catalyst michael ross says the decision will cost the germans a lot but will not fix the euro zone's core problems this will make the eurozone by no ways we have a very big problem a very huge problem and it is not solved as well as a matter of fact i call it unconditional surrender of germany which we witnessed in brussels the southern countries with a new euro zone finally got the credit card that they're always wanted a credit card for whom the german pick taxpayer has to pay and very interested in the question how long germany would do this the tax burden in the future will become very very high and i know already of people who are caping the country because they have fear that the tax will become higher and higher and to germany has to pay at the end of the day the whole bill as long as you don't solve the

problems which we don't we only insert some opium some drac's into the system to come it i mean if the drug is gone the problem is there and it will be even bigger . on friday the german parliament approved initiatives championed by chancellor. merkel at earlier meetings including the e.u. is permanent bailout fund the so-called fiscal compact to limit dead across states and prevent future crises the measures could yet face domestic legal challenge however over claims they undermine democracy as artists on a boy who reports the debt debacle has sparked sharp division between some in germany and people from countries relying on german cash. it's a job interview with geopolitical implications and yes his family has been running these greek restaurant for almost three decades ever since they immigrated to germany hard work and self-reliance made it a success but now they are under increasing pressure to share the fruits of their

the great coverage of the bailout germans remain unswayed in their position to pay for somebody else's debts polls consistently show that the majority of germans are stronger against financing greece's bailout is one customer of this restaurant put it before placing an order one should check not only the menu but also his wallet some say this bleed of opinions between departure and the public represents a test of germany's democratic system democracy begins at home begins begins. with a national parliament and. it. and if there's a common currency is is taking. decisions in terms of money in terms of budget it's a violation of democracy and it was. your

historical mission to bring democracy in the world no and very certain no. destroy democracy they see peace to be hardworking but in case if europe's most productive country it seems just never stopped coming in the week artsy reporting from germany. on our website r t the call we're asking who will gain the most from that you ban deal agreed and brussels week so let's take a look at the site what picture there so far most of you think it's there reckless bankers investors will be smiling brought us all to face believes power hungry brussels which will benefit the most eight percent say it's countries with strong economies and a tiny minority thinks the deal will help states with flagging economies now what's your take on that blog on to argue dot com and have your say.

the deadline for joining us on his extradition to sweden passed earlier on this week but the whistleblower is still holed up at ecuador's embassy in london he defied a british police demand to turn himself in saying he won't step out of the embassy building until a decision on his asylum request is made with the words president and his latest statement made it clear there is no deadline and reiterated that verdict will be absolutely saw for respecting human rights the main issue being considered by the south american state as the. fred to join us on his life and we have the senator insists that if he is extradited to sweden is sure to be handed over to the u.s. were he could face the death penalty if convicted of espionage for a huge leak of secret american files the u.s. justice department recently has admitted that there is an ongoing investigation

into that we can fix a fair robert naiman from just foreign policy an organization which started a petition campaign to support a sound just plea for asylum says it's the whistleblower himself was the real target. my certain sense of other people have talked to this that ecuadorian government officials are sympathetic to their requests they understand the situation the same way we do understand the threat to join the songs from the united states and the threat that's we once they got the of assad would hand them over to the united states which would then prosecute him under the very controversial espionage act we don't know everything about what the u.s. government has done or might do but we know that a grand jury was impaneled in the united states to investigation of wiki leaks and bring charges we know that bradley manning's attorney believes that use harsh treatment in u.s. custody was an attempt to get him to. testify against julian assange there's

every reason to believe that they have the opportunity to try to get him and u.s. custody they will do so this is totally rational the documented fear. that jonah songes no interview program here in r.t. and its latest edition is on air this tuesday and if you've missed any of the previous ones are available online at. www dot com. i'm julian assange. that is true of wiki leaks expose the world secrets these documents belong the united states government being attacked by the united states strongly condemn this question because people illegally shoot five hundred days now being detained without charge but that hasn't stopped. the day we are on a quest for relief ideas that can change the world tomorrow.

as long as mohamed morsi has been sworn in as it gets a new president after taking the oath of office u.s. president barack obama sent good well wishes to the leader a bath by the muslim brotherhood and promised further support for it to transition to democracy as marina fortnight reports islamism power will likely raise concerns across the atlantic. egypt's revolution began with tens of thousands into here square and it became a success shortly after washington sided with the anti-government opposition by stepping down president mubarak responded to the egyptian people's hunger for change america's indorsement of change has paved the way for the muslim brotherhood to become egypt's strongest political force the international organization is considered to be one of the world's largest islamised movements and mohamed morsi has reportedly called for a constitution that is based on the koran and sharia law in the case of egypt we're

taking a piece of the board that was one of our pieces this is why it was one of 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. i. don't hate that i. said. 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 me you know what it would be. like you know all sort of. origin of the syrian opposition seen here waving al-qaeda flags 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 khadafi as 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 this 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 are in islam is in mali's northern desert region have destroyed holy sites in the city book to earlier this week militants with ties to al qaida claim control of the region following a violent should out that left at least twenty people dead at least expert a kiwi believes it's up to the people of mali to find a solution saying u.s. or nato intervention and what only further to start save the lies the region. all of this of course is related to the war that was waged against libya last year during two thousand and eleven which brought about the displacement of many of the two out forces who have been settled in libya for many many years they were well armed and of course with them entering the situation inside of northern mali it's

further destabilize and polarize the situation inside the north of the country and of course affected the capital up of moscow as well the nato forces led by the united states destroy the social fabric and national infrastructure and the national economy of libya libya was the most prosperous of the most stable state on the african continent as a result of the destabilization activities on the part of nato the twenty six thousand air missions that were flown over the country over a seven month period ten thousand air strikes against libya the naval blockade the freezing of foreign assets this is of course dislodged and displaced hundreds of thousands of people inside the country and hundreds of thousands or more in the regional context if the u.s. is not intervene in libya last year we would not have the current situation that we have right now in mali but we're totally opposed to french

u.s. or nato intervention in mali we don't think that it would solve the problem it would further destabilize the situation in the country and throughout the region. and the aftereffects of libya's revolution and nato intervention are still being felt in the country at least forty seven people are dead and more than one hundred injured after three days of tribal clashes in a country south according to local sources the fighting is between two and why tribesmen where the latter are reportedly supported by the so-called libya shield brigade has been deployed by the interim government to act as a peacekeeping force clashes between rival groups are common as a country is still awash with weapons seized by rebels your. in the uprising against moammar gadhafi. millions along the east coast of the u.s. are without power after violent storms pounded the region at least thirteen people were killed by falling trees that destroyed homes and cars it could take generating

the athletes who are warming up a massive security operation is also getting into gear we've got battleships on the river thames with missiles we've got pilotless drones with laser guided bombs missile batteries dotted around the city personnel with untold numbers of firearms you've got a question the probe proportionality of this london two thousand and twelve is actually starting to look more like a security event not a sporting event. a security event with a little bit of incidental sport on the soil the olympics is the u.k.'s biggest peace time security operation and the numbers of personnel are staggering on the ground during the games they'll be twelve and a half thousand police officers supported by the occasion by the state of the hard thousand soldiers but insiders are saying basic security here at the olympic park

is seriously lacking investigative journalist li hazeldean is under cover with g four s. the security firm that won the four hundred fifty million dollar contract for the games he's posing as a trainee and says role recruits vetting and training are substandard i was asked during the training exercises to be a would be terrorist i was given a knife a real gun and a fake i.e.d. the gun was in my bag the x. ray operator didn't see it it is a good several times he still didn't find it he got behind one did the handle and it didn't go he hadn't turned on police says he's raised his concerns with g four s. but was told to mind his own business no one from the company was available to comment for this report meanwhile the organizing committee remains resolute about safety security is absolutely the top priority for us and we want the people you know come to visit london. twenty twelve to be absolutely confident they're going to be safe

and secure and you'll go through security and the x. ray machine all of that anything they bring in with you and that way you can check that anybody coming into the hall isn't bringing anything with them that could do anybody any damage that's not lee's experience of the operation and he's pessimistic about the safety of visitors to the olympic park it's a huge knife in there you know there's one right if i mean it gets sued by one person and fifty people go through different peers sees that's fifty rounds of ammunition in the olympics and that's a massacre right then and there if a terrorist or a terrorist organization is intent on getting into the olympics all they have to do at the moment is queue up with a month to go the head of m i five says his organization can't guarantee the security of the games what's that and people are asking is the point of the heavy artillery if the park itself is left wide open laura smith london that brings us up to date here on r.t. and i'll be back with headlines shortly.
