lol. international powers agree a transition plan for syria rolling out foreign interference with iran he's envoy kofi annan saying the country needs a new government which could include members of president assad's regime and the opposition. and here in syria no official reaction to the new proposal so far opposition leaders previously say it will look toward any interim government that's president bashar al assad goes. and other stories that shape the week e.u. leaders vote to allow its bailout fund to funnel money directly to sprog banks for the first time and said that for germany's angela merkel after having pressure from italy and spain. plus defined but undefeated joined us on for fuses to surrender to british police despite a deadline for his extradition to sweden passing saying he won't leave with or an

amnesty until a decision on his asylum request is made. this is r.t. coming to you live from moscow i'm marina josh welcome to the program now 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 assad's cabinet and the opposition russia hailed the agreement as one that doesn't dictate a political solution for syria while we can now discuss this without a corresponding or pissing off just returned from geneva where the talks to place and well you are you've been there of course and we know that the talks last for hours and were quite tense so what was the atmosphere there like well first of all syria is very complicated issue there's

a great deal of responsibility and uncertainty so is the decisions that are made at these. these meetings can directly affect the lives we of ordinary people in syria since every day toward need people are still dying there and so these decisions really can affect either one of the better or for the war so everybody understands this responsibility and actually if i may call it it is sort of and was sort of diplomatic rollercoaster which actually started ahead of the meeting when the russian foreign minister met with hillary clinton in st petersburg which wasn't actually this meeting wasn't actually the main goal of her visit so nobody really knew what's going to happen then they do meet is the foreign minister comes out and he says that he thinks that there is a change in her approach in her position on syria so that's good news but at the same time hillary clinton herself did not attend this media conference so again if somebody was maybe thinking oh

a bit more positive about the results of the meeting in geneva same time there were signals that if she's not there something that may be wrong so there's still more uncertainty that everybody was waiting for a head of the meeting itself which lasted quite long also nobody really knew if it's going to come out positive or negative diplomatic roller coaster indeed as you mentioned earlier but you know some experts say that the final document was basically a victory for russian diplomacy what do you think russia the entire time has been saying that no outside forces should really. control and drive the political changes in syria they can only apply pressure on the sides of the conflict but they cannot intervene directly into the situation there despite all the previous position of washington which before not at this conference before they didn't rule out foreign military intervention into the situation there but the final document which was signed at this meeting did reflect basically russia's

position well in this life you know listen to what russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov had to say. yeah we can see to it the utmost importance that this document does not seek to dictate to the syrian sites how the transitional process should happen politically how exactly this process will take place is up to the syrian people this document is very precise but it's. well we've just heard what sergei lavrov had to say there so what exactly does the new plan imply. main idea is to establish this transitional governing body in syria which is planned to include all sides representatives from all sides of the conflict including the authorities and representatives of the opposition which is actually quite divided within itself perhaps in the future and this is also according to the plan there should be

elections in syria democratic elections and new government new constitution perhaps in the future as well and all this will be monitored by the united nations and actually your own special envoy kofi annan is planning to visit . is going to also hold more talks both with both sides again and again as russia has been saying there has to be constant contact with all sides of this conflict well given what's been said and done so far what sort of fate awaits president asad . it's really hard to see and if previously some of the poor's had been almost calling for him to step down now according to this document it's up to the syrian people to decide but actually quickly on himself was asked this question and let's listen to what he said about it.

so i guess you can't really put it better then mr. well yeah the crystal balls at home well as you said a lot of uncertainty still remains there but at least the dialogue is taking place your thanks very much indeed for bringing us the atmosphere from the meeting in geneva on syria that was our correspondent there. how the urgency for international agreement on syria is underlined by the intensifying daily violence there artie's marie financial reports from the capital damascus. 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 have actually divided on how to concede to this document this meeting in geneva several of them indeed call this a breakthrough and light at the end of the tunnel and they say it could indeed be

a solution to the sixteen month long crisis but the crisis here in syria would obviously be responsible they say it takes two to tango and it's absolutely unclear soufan how the dialogue is possible while one of this size at least doesn't want to talk with friend here where you have before from the opposition of the syrian or and based opposition but they will not accept any transitional government and they will not accept any peace plan eva such is still in power meanwhile violence is continuing to spread all over the country here in syria and almost every day we are hearing about dozens of people killed there were more injured from everywhere in the country but the obviously it is that if one 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 and someone dressed them in a militia uniform hung them with real guns to teach them what to say and put in

front of camera now 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 as brazen whose. other land and this is a microphone the kids carrying not a kalashnikov. are young his father couldn't imagine that 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 if they threatened us many times once the road on the house as well that the time has come then they sent me a symbolic look 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 the living and i mean in my years in wanted to prepare for exams and went to sleep in the living room which is and this is where they smash first they were shootings and they cried a lot barked at and i hid under the bed. and then they moved 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 anticipated everything he told me once they going to 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 us and i miss him a lot he so wanted to get a good certificate at. 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. my beer tried to kill us this is the freedom of if you're not with them you'll be killed in the letters they wanted to kill a song like hula and then see this is the government usually valinor not one study through not losing anything that's enough we lost a lot not ready to lose any more how's it has a thing said matilda very well 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 a ways found to stop the violence. r.t. reporting from syria. i was hearing ya looks for ways to and the violence warning signs elsewhere about the dangers of outside intervention still ahead of the u.s. and nato involvement in libya last year us sparked conflict in mali well look out of the negative effects that foreign military engagement can have of the entire region. plus barack obama welcomes in new egyptian president mohamed morsi vowing to support the country's push to democracy that we ask if the new regime will post concerns from washington. now this week saw the german chancellor angela merkel returning from an e.u. summit defeated for the first time in years your leaders have agreed to allow the european bailout fund to funnel money directly to struggling banks germany strongly

opposed this option was forced to give in after insistence from spain and italy economic analyst michael ross says the decision won't cost the germans a lot but will not fix the euro zone's core problems. this will make no worries we have a very big problem a very huge problem and it is not solved as a whole 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 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 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 now. friday the german parliament approved initiatives championed by chancellor merkel 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 give face a domestic legal challenge however over claims they undermine democracy as is a solid void in our reports the dad 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 genesis 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're under

increasing pressure to share the fruits of their labor. the problem is that in greece the think in germany that. they come here and like the money in the street but we are 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 some like. takis just walk 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 destroy. our country from troops so they'll be a million people is the german. not to help but to 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 strongly against financing greece's or spain's 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 begins. really begins in italy and spain we have a national parliament and. it. and if there's a common currency 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 and now and very certain about now. is destroying democracy they see peace to be hardworking but in the case if europe's most productive country it seems just never stopped coming in the wake artsy reporting from germany. on our website r.t. dot com we're asking who will gain the most from the e.u. bank bailout deal agreed in brussels this week so far most of you think take a look over here very shortly most anything that is the reckless bankers and investors will be smiling broadly almost fifty believes its power hungry brussels which will benefit the most eight percent say it's countries with strong economies and tiny minority thinks the deal will help states with flagging economies now what's your take on that on target dot com and have your say.

the deadline for joining us on just 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 at which the worst president in his latest statement made it clear there is no deadline and reiterated that the verdict will be absolutely sovereign respecting human rights i mean if you're being considered by the south american state as the party. threat to join the songes a life we can lease out of their insists that if he's extradited to sweden he's sure to be handed over to the u.s. where he could face the death penalty if convicted of espionage for a huge only of secret american files the u.s. justice department recently has of made of that there's an ongoing investigation

into the we can makes a fair robert naiman from just foreign policy organization which started a petition campaign to support a sound just plea for silence says it's the whistleblower himself that is the real target. my sense sense of other people have talked to that. government officials are sympathetic to their request they understand situation the same way we do understand the threat to join the songs from the united states and the threat that sweden once they got the amazon 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 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 over dad that join us on his own into the program here on our team this latest edition is on air this tuesday and if you've missed any of the previous ones they are available online at a songe 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 i've been detained without charge but that hasn't stopped us. today we're on a quest for revolutionary ideas that can change the world tomorrow. as

long as mohamed morsi has been sworn in as its new president after taking the oath of office u.s. president barack obama sent good well wishes to that leader about by the muslim brotherhood and promise for their support for egypt's transition to democracy but as maria or not are reports islamist 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 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 what the internet 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. that . 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 i didn't work out enough to understand what it was all me you know what would be. no use what would you world in syria is like you know some of. the syrian opposition seen here waving al-qaeda flanks has received public support from the terrorist network and created what some call a de facto 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 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 that hardly ever wanted her in a porno i.r.t. new york. armed islamists in mali's northern desert region have destroyed holy sites in the city of timbuktu earlier this week militants with ties to al qaeda claim control of the region following a violent shoot out the left at least twenty people dead middle east expert has a q he 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 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 destabilizing polarize the situation inside and 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 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 or more in the regional context if the us had not intervened in libya last year we would not happy current situation 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 would solve the problem it would further destabilize the situation in the country and throughout the region. while the after effects 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 the country south according to local sources the fighting is between two runs of by tribesman where the latter are reportedly supported by the so-called libya shield brigade that's been deployed by the interim government to act as a peace keeping force clashes between rival groups are common as a country is still awash with weapons seized by. rebels during 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 companies up to a week to restore electricity to those affected the storms came out there are record high temperatures scorched the area forcing thousands to pack into buildings with backup power supplies. a russian built soyuz spacecraft is safely on the ground to stand after the parting from the international space station artist correspondent tom would say is a russian mission control center and joins us live now from star city and the moscow region hello there and here to ban so what more can you tell us about today's mission back to earth. well it definitely was a mission back to earth and may now what we know is that the crew has landed safely in baikonur in kazakstan where they actually took off in december of twenty one the last yeah now they've been out to the international space station for about six months now they had a couple of assignments that you complete as well as some of the mission which they
