the syrian opposition rejects the latest the international peace plan calling for free elections within the all inclusive transitional government in the interim. britain's the big brother internet and phone firms are to record data but there's deep concern over a new government plans to pry into citizens' personal affairs. and fresh calls to try julian assange for spying are made in washington as our de prepares to air the final episode of his interview show. live from moscow you're watching r t with me tom would say syria's opposition has

rejected the new international plan to end the country's bloody internal conflict they say they don't want present all the members of his government to be part of the political transition a meeting in geneva of international powers agreed that the syrian people ought to decide the fate of the country and there are no demands for regime change. has more from damascus. being the geneva peace proposal was the latest attempt to reconcile the divided sides in the syrian conflict with a unity government but that hope was already fading even before the delegates in switzerland returned to their homes this eerie national council s. and c. and the free syrian army the political and military forces spearheading the uprising both financed from and based abroad have made it clear they can be no solution with assad in power as allowed in the geneva agreement the homebase

a position is less direct though some still warn it's too late for dialogue the unanswered party boycotted maize parliamentary elections its leader has said the time has come for all sides to make sacrifices and the government should lead the way. the peace plan will all the work of assad hands over control of the armed forces and security to the interim government they should start seeing the free syrian army and others who are against them as the opposition know everyone agrees some say the syrian opposition is too fragmented to be trusted larp would be and only those who really want dialogue should be thought of as legitimate opposition and who is that it's a battle of wills the geopolitical interests of big regional players but we're sure to see more games being played to sabotage the peace efforts. the syrian people we spoke to welcomes the idea of a unity government but with some reservations of their own if their position is

internal national there is no problem but if it's an opposition with foreign passports that's just not acceptable. we understand what we want but we cannot understand what the opposition wants apart from assad to go what else. simulink galula said head of the s.n.c. we don't even know who they are we don't need them. with so many unknowns analysts say the syrian opposition has both the covert and open support of nations who demand regime change and backed the rebels with tons of weapons channeled into syria to fuel the conflict. the first thing to do this is take away these arms otherwise no peace is possible but that can be done quickly too much money has been spent and too many parties are involved but meanwhile according to the geneva document the syrian people are the only ones who should decide their country's future but they're concerned they want to get the chance. of course we the syrian

people should decide what we want for ourselves we knew that already if. they brought foreign terrorists from outside and money it was a conspiracy from the first day. you can stubs of violence while foreign countries are financing and supporting the rebels but it seems that no matter how much international game playing they raise it will be syrians themselves who bear the brunt the dream didn't last long less than two days after the latest peace initiative force forward in geneva skepticism is growing that an interim governing body made up of the syrian opposition and current regime will ever become more than just a solution on paper with more lives being lost every day in this war torn country this bloody saga looks far from over. or even optional r.t. from damascus and syria. let's discuss this with a georgia former adviser to the syrian government. thank you very much for joining us here on our team mr jaber now official syrian state media has dismissed the

outcome of the geneva meeting as a failure what is damascus unhappy about. well newspaper characterized it as if you in your other newspapers did not see. the syrian government is rather positive towards the result i have watched syrian official media's. hours of positive towards the research. now president assad has said he didn't want solutions imposed from the outside but he doesn't have to be succeeding in ending the hostilities why can't he just accept the international mediation efforts. international mediation efforts acceptable to the syrians but then what president assad meant is there is there would be no solution imposed on the syrians in the sense that. i understand the position of syria and of course and speaking in my individual capacity understand that the position of

syria is desired international powers that in geneva will help to really help launch you amongst syrians in order for the syrians. to decide their future to decide who will do to decide what is that you should do like to have. international help is essential is useful is positive and the decision will be of course with the syrians. now talking about international mediation been useful and other animal you know there are more talks planned opposition groups in arab countries are tweeting kyra legs with others coming to moscow to be for coffee and then later what are the chances that all these talks will bring a positive outcome. well. sure that the conference would have some positive results regarding the syrian situation in the

sense that the opposition is very much for advantage if there is an opposition that is very much for granted this means that it cannot conduct useful dialogue with the authorities when the position of the opposition would be more unified than the musical for it to be more useful now of course in syria there is this outside opposition that is meeting in cairo together with some internal opposition but then we have armed gangs in syria that are not related to this syrian national council need to look at opposition groups these are the. these are these are the present difficulties for any peaceful solution in syria but i suppose that what the government and the opposition can do is work hand in hand they would be able to. pacify syria be able to have. security returned to syria mr jaber

let's talk about turkey now and the fighter jet incident why is ankara continue to feel tensions i mean sending a syrian jets to the border while the international community is striving to calm things in syria. i heard the speech of president of prime minister erdogan few days ago it seems to me is that he was addressing turkey's internal problems more than addressing the problem needs syria in the sense that there is certain under arrest in turkey that is the sort of landmark that by seeing to the journalists. to jail for the powers that he was also addressing the internal condition situation in turkey i suppose that to the relationship between syria and turkey should continue to be. let's say tense but then we continue to be peaceful

to do because it was syria and turkey don't have the interest in jumping over the. over the peaceful line of greeting each other. and the military confrontation would be catastrophic for both and especially for turkey because it might in has a possibility also a certain internal difficulties. well thank you very much mr george a former advisor for the syrian government on your thoughts on the subject. now still ahead for you a little later news from another middle eastern country where the wounds of the arab spring remain open and on healed. libya's questionable headway towards democracy real they're under a crushing blow as protesters ten election authority office into pieces in the very birthplace of last year's uprising. and of the un president of sanctions against

iran are now in force but will ones that succeed in making to run abandon its nuclear ambitions find out in a few minutes here on our team. thank you kay has found another way to snoop into its citizens affairs internet and phone companies are set to install so-called . black boxes which will monitor e-mails or social networking activities and calls and stored data for you know the authorities and says that only limited details will be kept but activists are raising previously concerns are jesus our earth explains. well the home office will tell you that they need this as a vital tool in order to catch criminals and as criminals become more technologically advanced so must they but you've got to really look at what they're trying to justify here because this is going to affect absolutely everyone in the k.n. it's going to be your phone calls it's going to be your internet search is is going to be who you are taking your e-mailing even your facebook all this data is set to

be stored in black boxes which if the lord is part of the government would be able to access and snoop on our private information whenever they want now this is part of the draft bill the communications data bill that the government is saying they need it's being nicknamed the sneakers charter was the home office say that they're not going to actually be storing the contents of that information this information that would be kept in these black boxes would be kept for up to a year and those tech experts that we've been speaking to has said that they you know they would be able very easily to access the content of that and of course that causes a huge concern amongst the british population were already living in an age and certainly in the u.k. where we're monitored every single day by millions as c.c.t.v. cameras we've got facial recognition time and again in surveys the u.k. ranks right up there the very top of the surveillance societies now we've been

speaking to some of the people online and on our twitter and asking them what they think about this latest measure people are very very unhappy about these proposals we have one person saying that sounds very sinister i don't like it one invests in another person on twitter who responded said it reminds us of a u.s. air t.v. series that was about the same sort of surveillance system well they do say the real life is stranger than fiction sometimes and of course it all sounds a bit already in doesn't it having this sort of to tell a tyrion state the mass of valence is justified in terms. the greater good while big brother might not be watching us the u.k. government could be in the near future. they are reporting now the e.u. embargoed iranian oil is now in place along with fresh u.s. sanctions against countries dealing with terror on the measures the pressure rising iran to curb its nuclear program islamic republic says however that is the be stopped piling money as a buffer and that selling all remains no problem thanks to america exempting some

countries from penalties including china and singapore author and journalist in the times he says the sanctions are unlikely to have the desired effect. iran will be more than happy to replace all the oil exports to europe with their customers whether they be in latin america or knows notably china because the us has examined china and the chinese foreign minister is already on record as saying that these unilateral sanctions are outrageous and wrong johnnie's oil imports crude oil imports from iran rose 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 was 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. still to come this hour four years on since washington launched a marketing campaign promoting brand usa all over the world we investigate whether president obama's plan could succeed in the tracting walthers of this bombing in asian economies and create new jobs in his own country. scores of armed men seeking autonomy for libya's benghazi have raided the city's electoral commission office trashing equipment and causing extensive damage that happened just days before the country's first general election since the fall of moammar gadhafi activists and journalists and conch and dunn says the attack shows just how far libya is from democracy 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 which should be there which will lead to. a healthy democracy will be taking place are absent so

what we have is the relative persecution of women's rights 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 a by by dint of the pigmentation of their skin to gadhafi we have. got a lot 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 n 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. a u.s. senator has renewed calls for julian assange to be prosecuted for espionage australian media reports that u.s. senate intelligence committee dianne feinstein has reiterated that the whistleblower has compromised america's security and a son who is currently holed up in the embassy in london waiting for his decision on his asylum bed meanwhile the last episode of his talk show is set to air here on
