a buffer against sanctions from brussels. hello and welcome to r.t. twenty four hour news life from moscow my name is you are on here with the latest news and a review of the week's about it's fast a transitional governing body is the latest solution put forward to end syria's bloody internal conflicts the idea was agreed at an emergency international meeting held in geneva on saturday they emphasize on the new plan is for syrian people to decide the fate of the country for themselves with no demands for regime change. has been following events in geneva for us. it's been a diplomatic roller coaster from the start it's been going through ups and downs and even before this conference in geneva. russia's foreign minister said with hillary clinton in st petersburg after that meeting he said she changed her

position but then she wasn't really at the media conference following that meeting . meeting to confirm that so it wasn't we conference in geneva much longer than initially expected. nobody really knew what's going to what was going to come out of it in the end they did end up signing this document sixteen months it's a very long time and since the beginning russia has been saying this is an internal matter for syria and no outsiders could order you know solution to the situation there and. it's a mystery why it took so long for the international community to agree because now it's reflected in this final document it took all these vetoes and discussions it's just unclear really why it took these sixteen months. we consider it the utmost importance that this document does not seek to dictate to the syrian sites how the transition process should happen politically how exactly this process will take

place is up to the syrian people and this document is very precise. well the idea of this plan is the syrian people and that's the most important part syria will establish this transition governmental body which will include all sides of the conflict with the authorities and all groups within the opposition including the rebels then. they will have a new constitution and democratic elections everything will be monitored by the united nations and specifically by un special envoy kofi annan is also planning to visit syria and for talks with both sides but the bottom line right now is that the international community was able to reach this understanding it's vital for this unity to be sustained and even if some of the new interpretations do appear that it's all inked in this document meanwhile some of syria's opposition groups have

already rejected the proposal the syrian national council described it as a waste of time turning out a new rule of power sharing settlement involving president assad or a few notions in the country. syrian opposition has already criticised harshly and agreements reached by world powers we can't engineer as to beg to be able to and the ongoing crisis the sixteen months long crisis here in syria we've been hearing from both syrian national council turkey based opposition umbrella and free syrian army military when all of the opposition that can be no solution unless president bashar al assad steps aside we haven't heard any official reaction from damascus so far but of course kept to says it is growing and fears are growing that with the opposition now claiming they will not accept him tearing government if i saw it and his closest allies will also take part in that. this latest piece of mr

default in geneva with all they remain as solution pay for we have been able to speak to all people here on the streets of damascus and they've been saying that all they want is peace and security and safety to come back to the country they don't oppose as part of this government if only this helps to stop the violence here in the country this is indeed a very ugly conflict in syria and the ugliest thing is that if when children are being involved now in this crisis here's my report on that this is the place for these kids boys and girls is at the playground and someone dressed them in the middle she uniform hung them with real guns to teach them what to say and in front of camera you know this little girl. maybe five years old and she's almost

crying as people behind the camera her and other kids to chant and slogans out of nineteen kids for me. this is just me. and a series of clips posted online showing the ugly face of war and fold 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. we can see children among through assad demonstrators. four year old or young as fraser whose motherland and this is a microphone the kids carrying not a kalashnikov. her young his father couldn't imagine that his youngest son is 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 they wrote 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 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 i'm not and this is where they smash first they were shootings and they cried a lot barked at on my heat under the bed. and i was crying because they killed years and i miss him a lot i managed to 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 in the s.s. about me they wanted to kill a song like a hula and then see this is the government usually valinor if this is the freedom if you are not with them it. the funerals of the two teenagers had an on a guard this is what they do here in syria the family says when someone dies as

a martyr not money and started to not lose anything that's enough we lost a lot not ready to lose any more how you're going to suddenly. 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. this week german chancellor angela merkel dubbed europe's front nine or mr no where seem to taze defeat for the first time in years it was decided at an e.u. summit to give brussels the power to pump e.u.

taxpayer money into failing banks without governments having a say chancellor merkel strongly opposed this move but was forced to give in after insistence from spain and italy their leaders proclaimed a breakthrough this week also saw the ratification of europe's new fiscal pact which sets even tougher budget rules and niger for raj the u.k. independence party's leader says that merkel had her own reasons for making the concessions. it is perfectly clear that the brussels machine does dance to the german team and smaller countries are very frightened of going against really in the end what angela merkel says the focus always is on germany you know will merkel blink or not what germany is saying is that all the member states of the euro zone should abolish their democracies should abolish their independence surrender their birth rights and give it all to a super bureaucrat to push on to a full fiscal union to a full political union indeed to be union that will be absolutely dominated by

germany and by some magic formula giving away control of everything to one person will solve everything. michael faces turned backlash in her homeland where some lawmakers filed suit saying the fiscal pact intrudes on the powers of german deputies and at a grassroots level the german people who drive the economy are unhappy about giving bailouts to other nations as well as a kind of worker report it's a job interview with geopolitical implications and yours is family has been running these greek restaurant for almost three decades ever since they immigrated to germany hard work and self-reliance made it is 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 patcher it with requests for money jobs of both some 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 destroy. our country from troops so they'll be a 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'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 the power and the public represents a test of germany's democratic system democracy begins at home begins in the washer begins. really begins in italy and spain they have a national parliament. this is the serve it. is a common currency is taking. decisions in terms of money in terms of budget it's a violation of democracy and now and very assertive about now. is destroying democracy they see peace to be hardworking but in case if europe's most productive country teams just never stop coming in the wake artsy reporting from germany. tehran says it's made preparations as a buffer against sanctions from brussels as the european union embargo on

a rainy and oil comes into force the sanctions came into power on sunday right after the u.s. introduced its own measures but it's produced little effect so the reagan officials are reported to have boasted that because of america's extensive wave is selling oil remains no problem and afshin rattansi author and journalist says the hue is already suffering from that arbitration. iran or we need to replace all the oil exports to europe with their customers whether they be in latin america or knows notably china because it was the u.s. has exempted china and the chinese foreign minister is already on record as saying that these you lateral sanctions are outrageous and and wrong johnnie's oil imports crude oil imports from iran rose thirty five percent back to two thousand and eleven levels it seems that the united states presumably again lobbied by israel which is to be running its foreign policy well to do this at the same time as the

great economic crisis in europe is causing havoc increase oil prices certainly going to make not only the euro but european finances suffer so this isn't going to help the world economy and it's certainly not having any impact on iran. later in the program this hour difference but undefeated is the whistle blower truly a sign of the hold up inside the ecuadorian embassy in london for almost two weeks now while the decision on his a final request has held up made clear is the u.s. is playing and the hunger games with ecuador. plus overlooking the high human prize that pakistan has paid for supporting operations in afghanistan the u.s. is demanding that the country does even more work. the deadline for years of tradition to sweden house passed by the whistleblower remains holed up in ecuador's embassy in london has defined a british police demands to turn himself in he waits for

a decision on his asylum plea acquittals president says considering the request takes time as he has to weigh all possible outcomes a son whose main fear is that sweden might hand him over to the u.s. where he would phrase the death penalty for publishing leaked american secrets in our ecuador and embassies around the globe received scores of messages with calls to approve their people and sibel edmonds the founder of the national security whistleblowers coalition says the u.s. is ready to pull at these trains to prevent the weekly leakers escape mostly what's happening right now is the political side and you have to realize that they made and this is the ecuador did meet getting all sorts of letters that petitions from activists the around the world but on the other hand they are also getting a list of all to made them sent troops probably the united states so rest assured that you right now as we speak the state department is. ecuador plan to think about

by showing what kind of consequences they could be facing whether it's economical whether it's political and so this is the reason they are taking this long and we are hoping that their decision would be yes they would grant asylum to giuliana's lunch but considering the weight that you. no i did state kerry but also considering that history of our nation in terms of the types of measures they take to put pressure on other governments it will remain to be seen. don't forget that julian assange hose his own interview program right here on ars he saw the latest edition goes on our own choose day and if you've missed any there are always available online at our songs dot also. julian assange. it is through here it will be expose the world secrets these jackets belong the united states government being attacked by the united states strongly condemn.

illegally shoot five hundred days now i've been detained without charge. that hasn't stopped. the day we're on a quest for relief ideas that can change the world tomorrow. around three hundred armed protesters have reportedly stormed the national election commission office in libya's city of been gone as a destroying computers and burning voting material outside the incident comes just days before the country's first direct poll for congress which will be tasked to oversee a new government once elected but activist and journalist chandan says there's little sign of a democratic process. the elections are about to come about in libya in a few days but i don't think it's a sign of any democratic progress in libya because all indicators should be there which would lead to you know that a healthy democracy would be taking place absent so what we have is that is the

relative persecution of women's right relative to what happened in the gadhafi persecution of all dark skin libyans who are being persecuted on the basis that they are loyal by and by but by dint of the pigmentation of their skin to gadhafi we have. a good law we have four hundred militias all across libya there is no there's no law and order there's no security so. this is far from any basis of a true people focus democracy but this is the nature of the n.c.c. nato democracy and this is the nature of the democracy that nato want to bring to all the peoples of the global south. the government of mali has appeals to the united nations to take action after al qaeda linked to extremists destroyed holy sites in the city of timbuktu and west african nation has seen constant attacks since it was taken over by a military genting notch made a nice tax cut of the young me as a k. we blame state nato backed revolution in neighboring libya for the violence and. 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 large 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 the north of the current through it of course affected the capital up of moscow as well if the u.s. is not going to be in libya last year we would not have the current situation that we have right now in mali. this week seventeen pakistani soldiers were captured under beheaded by taliban militants seven more died in a separate roadside bombing experts believe the country's paying a high price for helping the u.s. and its fight against islamist in afghanistan but as we can now reports it's a war that wouldn't have been possible without pakistan's support. it's not only u.s. bombs that fly in pakistan but also the stream of demands an accusation from washington

there are several things that where asking the pakistanis to do more and better number one they've got to do more about the safe havens inside their own country even ridiculed the u.s. defense secretary has laughed at pakistan for being in the dark on the bin laden raid. literally in washington's rhetoric now suggest that during the decade of war in afghanistan pakistan had been there myself instrumental ally in the region the united states could not have had secured afghanistan in three weeks with minimum cost in terms of. money and in terms of in terms of the lives of its soldiers that would not have been possible without fox and the assistance and help three sentiment towards the alliance with the us has domestic insurgency in

pakistan some has lost about somewhere between five thousand to six thousand soldiers and paramilitary soldiers but more than that we've lost more than thirty five thousand civilians and these people died because of these feet of bombings in a crude comparison the u.s. has lost two thousand troops in afghanistan they want the pakistanis to do our dirty work for us and the pakistanis have simply said we've supported you forward eleven years we can't do it anymore you're killing our stability they have to stop the civil war in the country they have to stop the war that's going on on their own territory because of their help for the united states so they have a number of problems which i think amount to a mass and they're going to be left high and dry when we leave many washington see a different picture of a country that does not fully do their. in exchange for the billions they'd sent them were given taxpayer money to this country which is not treating us we're eight

but we made a mistake we were we have trusted pakistan way too long the pakistanis see another mistake there's one mistake that we've committed we put all our eggs in the american basket and part of the deterioration in our job is strategic position over the past decade since two thousand and one is because of this fact that we completely relied on the americans and it's not the first time before as well but but so to speak we made this mistake and we're trying to know correct that mistake pakistan is now working hard on its regional alliances primarily with china but the us still needs pakistan washington has been able to continue drone strikes in pakistan likely because of its military leaders tacit agreement the us also needs the short route through pakistan to supply the troops in afghanistan is shutting down last year in response to the killing of two dozen pakistani soldiers but with elections approaching their end with people furious at the us there is little

chance the pakistani policymakers will want to be seen as being more accommodating to the united states the mockery and condescending remarks from washington make those chances even slimmer during the last decade of war and have got is that pakistanis have dealt with an unprecedented insurgency in their own country terror which has killed an awful lot of people much more than the losses carried by the u.s. in afghanistan and that to a large extent was the price pakistan paid for its alliance with the us but these days in washington it seems hardly anyone keeps that in mind when handing out another portion affect his ations and humiliation to the nation they once convinced to become their ally i'm going to stick our reporting from washington r.t. . and not just some of the stories making news around the world in northeast kane is seventeen were killed and forty wounded in a tux on to the churches filled to have been carried out by a somali militant. group police say the gunmen wore masks as they spread sprayed

bullets and hold grenades is the latest in a series of violent incidents in the country where the border region has been turns since troops were sent into somalia to pursue al shabaab islam missed militants. more than sixty people have been killed and nearly hotham million moved to temporary shelters as monsoon rains caused floods and landslides in northeastern india the huge brahmaputra river burst its banks after a week of heavy downpours submerging several thousand villages floods often occur in the region but this is considered the worst disaster in a decade. june was one of the rocks bloodiest months since there was a jewel of u.s. troops last year with over two hundred thirty people killed in the last few days alone there's been a spite of bombings and shootings across the country labor has and security forces were the main targets heart attacks is they missed it in the midst of a political crisis whether rivaling militants calling for the country's prime

minister to resign for sidelining his opponents. and you were jaws driven between moscow and washington this week as u.s. senators back sanctions against russian officials and suspects of human rights abuses so moscow it's a spec or a moscow says it's an interference in its internal affairs and has warned of a symmetrical response the so-called magnitsky let's primarily it targets people allegedly linked to the death of russian lawyer sergei magnitsky who died in custody three years ago while facing tax evasion charges after prison authorities failed to give him access to medical care in the us congress has yet to vote on the bill and it faces an uncertain future larking white house support political analyst martin c. so as they move is extremely ill timed in terms of u.s. russia 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 epidemics within their own countries the need for security and law and order cooperation between the united states and russia is absolutely preeminent in the world but that is not going to happen while in relations between the two great super powers deteriorate over issues like this this is grandstanding and demagoguery in the senate of the worst carries 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 u.s. constitutional system and to have plenty more details on the case of sergei magnitsky including much less to his arrest and the investigation into his death

all the background to his to this controversial stories online. and i'll be back in a moment with a recap of the mind's made stories and right after that are seizing to be on iran's ability to export oil that sanctions that have kept.
