a buffer against sanctions from. hello and welcome to our c twenty four hour news live from moscow i'm here with the latest news and a review of the week's about it's a transitional governing body is the latest solution put forward to end syria's bloody internal conflict that idea was agreed at an emergency international meeting held in geneva on saturday then verses of the new plan is for syrian people to decide the fate of the country for themselves with no demands for regime change this kind of has been following the events. 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 when russia's foreign minister sort of met 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 really clear that the conference in geneva much longer than initially expected nobody really nobody really knew what's going to what was going to come out of it but in the end they did end up signing this document sixteen months so a very long time and since the beginning russia has been saying this is an internal matter for syria and no outsiders could order a 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 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 wealthy authorities and all groups within the opposition including the rebels then. is that we 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 hold 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 new interpretations do appear then it's all inked in this document meanwhile sarsi raise opposition groups have already rejected the proposal the syrian national council described it as

a waste of time rooting out any rule of power sharing settlement involving president assad and she's married to country. syrian opposition has already criticised harshly and agreements reached by world powers at the weekend in geneva 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 assad steps aside we haven't heard any official reaction from damascus so far but of course skepticism is growing and fears are growing that with the opposition now claiming they will not accept the in tearing government if i saw it and his closest allies will also take part in that that this latest peace should mr default in geneva with all they remain as solution

paid for we have been able to speak to all of the 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 we 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 a mill she uniform hung them with real guns to teach them what to say and in front of camera now 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. one in 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 is praising his motherland and this is a microphone the kids carrying not a kalashnikov. early on 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 look 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 mars and wanted to prepare for exams and went to sleep in the reading of what you know 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'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 in the s.s. about me they wanted to kill us all like houla and then see this is the government usually valinor if this is the freedom if you are not with them. the funerals of the two teenagers had an on a guard this is what they do syria the family says when someone dies as

a martyr not one instance through not losing a thing that you know we lost a lot not ready to lose anymore how you doing some deed of whether your man 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 for our ninth mr know was seen to taze defeat for the first time in years it was decided at an e.u. so mr gave brussels the power to pump the e.u. tuxpan 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 nigel farage the u.k. independence party leader said that merkel had her own reasons for making the concession. it was 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 the union that will be absolutely dominated by germany and was

a magic formula giving away control of everything to one person will solve everything. meanwhile merkel faces strong by a clash in her homeland where some lawmakers filed suit saying that this compact intrudes on the powers of german deputies that a grassroots level the german people who drive the economy are unhappy about giving bailouts to other nations as well as a kind of voice. it's a job interview with geopolitical implications and here's this 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 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

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 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 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 finance increases or spain'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 russia begins. begins in italy and 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 now and very assertive world now brussels 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 of artsy reporting from germany. and while german chancellor angela merkel willingly agrees to be europe's cash cow on our side right now in the u.k.

and think their citizens should be asked to whether they want to join in with pain by other members dead as more on the prospect of britain's e.u. membership referendum online plus the japanese are outraged over a nuclear reactor being restarted as the government breaks its promise to use only conventional energy following this because she one disaster and all day so many other stories at r.t. dot com. terence says it's made preparations as a buffer against sanctions from brussels as the european union embargo on a rainy an all comes into force the e.u. sanctions came into power on sunday right out of the us introduced its own measures but it's produce little effect so far iranian officials are reported to have

boasted that because america's extensive waivers sailing oil remains no problem and i've seen the township around town say author and journalist says the u. is a really suffering from its restriction. iran or we are going to breed to replace all the oil exports to europe with other customers. with a baby in latin america was notably china because of course the u.s. has examined china and the chinese foreign minister is already on record as saying that these you have to also actions are outrageous and wrong johnnie's oil imports crude oil imports from iran rose thirty five percent about the 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 this is the program defiance but undefeated the whistleblower asuncion has been holed up inside an ecuadorian embassy in london for almost two weeks now while the decision on his asylum request was held up and made fears the u.s. is playing underhand games with that but all. of the egypt's first ever democratic elected presidents the international players he supports the revolution with fear the new power might were bound again down. around three hundred and first houses have reportedly storms the national election commission office in the biggest city have been guarding destroying computers and burning voting material side the incident comes just days before the country's first direct call for congress which will be tough to oversee a new government once elected but activists and journalists succumb to try and

there's little sign of a democratic process. 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 which should be there which would lead to. a healthy democracy will 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 this is far from any basis of a true people focus democracy but this is the nature of the m.t.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 as a palest to the united nations to take action to. extremists just choi the holiest

sites in the city have timbuktu the west african nation has seen constant at times since it was taken over by a military junky notch maybe stacks that up by only as a keeley of blames the nation revelation in neighboring libya for the violence in mali 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 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 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. there's a line for dinner sorry was a tradition to sweden has passed but the whistleblower remains holed up in

ecuador's embassy in london has defied a british police demands to turn himself in now as 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 soldier's main fear is that sweden might hand him over to the u.s. where he could face the death penalty for publishing leaked american secrets meanwhile ecuador and embassies around the globe received scores of messages with calls to prove their people and civil edmunds the founder of the national security whistleblowers coalition says the u.s. is ready to pull any strings to prevent the weekly has escaped. mostly what's happening right now is the political side and you have to realize that they may be and this is the ecuador. letters that the titians activists around the world but on the other hand they are also getting a list of also made them sent tracts from the united states so the rest assured

they right now as we speak the state department is. ecuador plenty to think about by showing what kind of consequences they will be facing whether it's economical and whether it's political and so this is the reason they are taking this long and we are hoping that their decision will be yes they would grant asylum to giuliana's lunch but considering their weight the united states carries but also considering that he's three or four nation in terms of the types of measures they take to put pressure on the other governments it remains to be seen. and don't forget that you're on our side has his own interview program right here on our see the latest edition goes on our own tuesday and if you've missed any of there are always available online at www dot r.t.e. dot com. i mean julian assange. it is true when he wakes expose the world secrets he's talking it's long united states

government being attacked by the united states strongly condemn it after. illegally shoots five hundred days now being detained without charge. that hasn't stopped us . today we're on a quest really ideas that can change the world tomorrow. after tell you meant divisive election is that mr mohammed morsi has been sworn in as egypt's new president among the first to congratulate him was barack obama expressed hope that america's allies with egypt would continue but as all season where enough work niagara falls is in this in power a bounce to cause headaches in washington. 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 you tube 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 that 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. yet is that. that. really shows 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 a 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. in syria is like you know sort of. 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 were an important i.r.t. new york. unless i have a look at some other stories making headlines around the world in ne ne is seventeen were killed and forty wounded in attacks on two churches thought to have been carried out by a somali militant group police say the gunmen wal-mart says they sprayed bullets and hold grenades is the latest in

a series of violent incidents in the country but their border region has been turned since troops were sent into somalia to pursue al shabaab islamist militants . more than sixty people have been killed and nearly hoppen million moved to temporary shelters as monsoon rains caused floods and landslides in north eastern india the huge brahmaputra river boats to its banks after a week of heavy downpours submerging several thousand villagers floods or whatever in the region but this is considered the world's disaster in a decade. june was one of iraq's bloodiest months since there was draw of u.s. troops last year with over two hundred thirty people killed in the last few days alone there's been a spate of bombings and shootings across the country share neighborhoods and security forces were the main targets of our times it's in the midst of a political crisis with rivaling militants calling for the country's prime minister to resign for sidelining his opponents. under new wage was

driven between moscow and washington this week as u.s. senators bark sanctions against russian officials it's specs of human rights abuses moscow says it's an interference in its internal affairs and has warned of a similar symmetrical response they so called magnitsky list primarily targets people allegedly linked to the death of russian law a surrogate magnitsky who died in france today three years ago while facing tax evasion charges after prison authorities failed to give him access to medical care the u.s. congress has yet to vote of the bill and it faces an uncertain future lacking white house support but it's called a list martin c. says the move is extremely 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 eurasian landmass 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 when relations between the two great superpowers 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 longer term and be the more thought focus reflective legislative chamber in the u.s. constitutional system. and i have plenty more details on the case of sygate magnates king closing the investigation into his death all the banks around to this
