am in the russian capital you're watching r t welcome to the program hopes of a diplomatic solution to the syrian crisis have risen after a major world powers agreed a peace strategy for the war torn country a new plan calls for the creation of a transitional government that could include members of president cabinet and the opposition russia hailed the agreement as one that doesn't dictate a political solution for syria is kind of 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. we consider the utmost importance of this document does not seek to dictate to the syrian side how the transition process should happen

politically how exactly this process will take place is up to the syrian people this document is very precise and that there are no more preconditions and no all too many times voiced here and actually as foreign minister sergei lavrov said those were some of the more stumbling points during the in a go since previously some of the outside outside of syria of course. 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 and from the rebels and it is planned that this transitional government will have full governing power. now the urgency for international agreement on syria has underlined by the intensifying daily violence there while we cannot cross still a corresponding briefing on who is in the capital damascus for us well maria has there been any reaction at all in the country on the new international proposals. for sure we haven't heard any official reaction from damascus so far but people we have been able to speak to here in the syrian capital of actually divided on how to concede to this document this meeting in geneva some of them indeed call this a breakthrough in light at the end of the tunnel and they say it could indeed be a solution to this sixteen month long crisis but the crisis here in syria but others are very skeptical they say it takes two to tango and it's absolutely unclear soufan how the dialogue is possible while one of the size of police doesn't

want to talk with friend here where you have before from the opposition from the syrian opposition both from internal of position and. foreign based opposition but they will not accept any transitional government and they will not accept any peace plan even is still in power and this is exactly what these documents are assigned for when geneva meeting in law was saying that the national unity government should include both the census of the opposition and the current government including the president and his closest allies so skepticism is all for it we have to remember that this is not the first peace plan. decided. that the international community pushed forward just this april they have been hopes that six point peace plan by kofi annan un special envoy. to syria will be able to

stop the violence here in the country but instead it was followed by increased violence even more fierce clashes between the rebels and the syrian. a government a governmental forces and they were to bloody massacres in the city or who and in the village of tabor and eventually the opposition we've moved from bases to spot and un mission sent to the country to monitor the implementation of this to see this peace prize was suspended so of course but one of the reasons kept this is over how the style of these possible could be possible if one of the sides at least doesn't want to talk meanwhile unfortunately violence is continuing to spread all all over the country here in syria and almost every day we're hearing about dozens of people killed there were more injured everywhere in the country but the obvious thing is that it when children are being involved with this crisis here's my report

on that. the place for these kids boys and girls is at the playground but someone dressed them in a minute she uniform hung them with real guns towards them what to say and put in front of camera now this little girl for 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 kids huff remains silent. 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 through our son demonstrators four year old rayyan is praising his motherland and this is a microphone the kids karine not

a kalashnikov looks. like. her yarns father couldn't imagine. his youngest son's participation in apache arctic rally would put all his family in danger and lead to the murder of his other two children and they threatened us many times once the road on the house as well that the time has come then they sent me a symbolic loop then they put the picture of reality on facebook 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 years in wanted to prepare for exams and went to sleep in the living room and this is where they smash first they were shootings and they cried a lot barked at and i hid under the bed. and it may move to the school. isn't all me away before his death that he feels he will not finish his exams and even if he does not get

a certificate it's got into sublimated everything he told me once they going to kill me. i am 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 wanted to get a good certificate it would be. the funerals of the two teenagers had been on the guard this is what they do here in syria the family says when someone dies as a martyr. why they try to kill us this is their freedom and if you are not with them you will be killed and in the letters to me they wanted to kill us all like houla and then see this is the government officially valinor not mine instead of not losing a thing that's enough to last a lot not ready to lose anymore how you doing some of the data about yemen has

three more brothers left he has something to lose and this cemetery we found at least eight fresh graves small ones. common 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 syria looks for ways to end the violence warning signs elsewhere about the dangers of outside intervention still ahead and nato involvement in libya last year has sparked conflict and mali we'll look at the negative effects that foreign military engagement on the entire region. basra obama welcomes in new egyptian president mohammed morsi vowing to support the country supports democracy

and we asked if the new regime will pose concerns for washington. this week saw the german chancellor angela merkel returning from a defeat for the first time in years leaders have agreed to allow the european bailout fund to funnel money directly to struggling banks germany have strongly opposed this option but was forced to give in after insistence from spain and italy they could i gather this michael ross says the decision will cost the germans a lot but will not fix the euro zone's core problems. this will make no ways we have a very big problem problem a very huge problem and it is not solved at all 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 there 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 keeping the country because they 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 mean if the drug is gone the problem is there and it will be even bigger friday the german parliament approved initiatives championed by chancellor merkel at earlier meetings including the e.u.'s permanent bailout fund and the so-called fiscal compact to limit data across states and prevent future crises the measures could yet face a domestic legal challenge however over claims they are undermining moderates see as artie's example of the reports that dads 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 euro says family has been running these greek restaurant for almost three decades ever since they immigrated to germany hard work and self-reliance made it to success but now they are under increasing pressure to share the fruits of their labor. the problem is that in greece that. they come here and like the money in the street but we're also working very hard. working from the morning till night every day they get a dozen of calls from their greek can patch or with requests for money jobs of both sound like a small attack is just walking in a restaurant owner himself he lost his business last year and ever since has been out of permanent work like about twenty two percent of greeks there is the second world war and they destroy. our country from the troops so

they'll be million people is the german. not to help but to pay while references to the countries nats of past have appeared more than once in the greek 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 and source beans bailout as 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 the power and the public represents a test of germany's democratic system democracy begins at home begins and begins in. spain we have 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 road no and very certain about now. is destroying democracy they said peace to be hardworking but in case if europe's most productive country it seems just never stopped coming in the wake artsy reporting from germany. and on our website r.t. dot com we're asking who will gain the most from that you bank bailout deal agreed in brussels this week let's see what's happening on the side now so far as we can see most of you think it's the reckless bankers and investors will be smiling broadly almost a fifth believe it's power hungry brussels which will benefit the most eight per se and some of the respondents say countries with drawing economies and it's not

a minority thinks the deal will help states what economists will do us no what do you think on this by logging on to website archita. now 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 ecuador is president and his latest statement made it clear there is no deadline and reiterated that the verdict will be absolutely sovereign respecting human rights the main issue. being considered by the south american state as the potential threats to join us on just life and we

can accept it or insist that if he's extradited to sweden is sure to be handed over to the us where he could face the death penalty if convicted of espionage for a huge secret american files u.s. justice department recently has admitted that there is an ongoing investigation into that we can reach a fair robert naiman from just foreign policy an organization which started a petition campaign to support a sound this plea for asylum says it's that whistleblower himself was the real target. meissen sense of other people i've talked to that. government officials are sympathetic to their request they understand situation the same way we do understand the threat to julian or songs from the united states or the threat that sweden once they got custody 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 investigate and bring charges we know that bradley manning's attorney believes his harsh treatment in u.s. custody was an attempt to get him to. testify against julian assange there's a recently 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 and don't forget to do in a sound as his own interview program here on our team and its latest edition is on air this tuesday and if you've missed any of the previous ones they're available online at www dot r.t. dot com. it is through where we expose the secrets these documents belong united states government being attacked by the power. united states strongly condemn it after. illegally.

five hundred days now being detained without charge. hasn't stopped. the day we want to question really. can change the world tomorrow. relations between moscow and washington have been dealt a fresh blow after u.s. senate committee door sanctions against russian officials suspect of human rights abuses moscow has called in an interference in its internal affairs and warned of a symmetrical response the so-called magnitsky list primarily targets people allegedly linked to the death of a russian lawyer sergei magnitsky died while in custody facing tax evasion allegations three years ago the congress has yet to vote on the bill but political analyst martin saif says the move is ill timed in terms of u.s. russian relations. the united states and russia are the two great thermonuclear powers in the world russia remains the preeminent strategic partner in the eurasia

mass the united states and russia have an enormous amount of strategic interests and concerns in common they are equally threatened on the lawn by islamist fundamentalism they both face major drug epidemics crime and within their own countries the need for security law and order cooperation between the united states and russia is absolutely preeminent in the world but that is not going to happen when relations between the two great superpowers deteriorate over issues like this this is grandstanding and demagoguery in the senate of the worst carried and what's particularly striking to me on this is that this isn't coming from the house of representatives it's coming from the senate and the senate is supposed to take the long term be the more thoughtful reflective legislative chamber in the us constitutional system while we have plenty on the case of their game i need to including what led to his arrest and the investigation into his death so you can

find all the details on this controversial case dot com. islamised mohamed morsi has been sworn in as agents new president after taking the oath of office as president barack obama sent good well wishes to the leader backed by the muslim brotherhood and promised further support for egypt's transition to democracy but is worried a fortnight on reports islamised in 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 responding to the egyptian peoples' 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. in this video film last month and egyptian cleric rally support for the brotherhood's presidential candidate so that there can no. doubt he's got a lot of. thing. is that. the muslim brotherhood has made 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 you know. you know it would be. like you know sort of. the syrian opposition scene 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 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 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. art as long as somalis northern desert region have destroyed holy sites in the city of tim book till earlier this week militants with ties to al qaida claimed control of the region following a violent shoot out to that left at least twenty people dead middle east expert are you as a kiwi believes it's up to the people of mali to find a solution saying u.s. or nato intervention would only further destabilize 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 had been settled in libya for many many years they were well armed and

of course with them entering the situation inside of northern mali is further destabilizing polarize the situation inside 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 have 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 of war in the regional context if the u.s. is not going to be in libya last year we would not happy 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 effort fact of libya's revolution and nato intervention are still being felt in the country at least forty seven people are data more than one hundred injured after three days of tribal clashes in the country south according to local sources the fighting is between two and why tribes was the latter reportedly supported by the so-called leave the shield brigade it's 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 during the uprising against mom. khadafi. 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
