stupid. stunts on t.v. don't comb. the u.n. calls of for a halt on all arms supplies to syria to pave the path for poor peace and a transitional government. meanwhile here in syria no signs of ceasefire with clashes between the rebels and the syrian army only escalate in my memory final shot in the capital damascus with the latest for you in just a few seconds. less than a week after it was agreed the euro zone's new bailout fund is already under pressure under challenge from stronger economies out in the german court. and america's hold for julian assange appears to be continuing while our t.v. is set to bring you the final episode of this interview show.

hello and thank you for joining our team with me karan this tuesday it's nine o'clock here in moscow now despite the latest international peace plan for syria the fighting there is intense defying across the country as well as new york damascus the u.n. has urged a halt to weapons supplies from abroad to the warring sides which it says is fueling the violence let's get more on this now from artie's marie of the notion of who is in damascus for us maria how dire is the situation there and who's the u.n. really pointing the finger at this time. well current situation is very dramatic in syria as president bashar assad has recently sat series now in the real state to war and this is exactly what we see right now on the ground the clashes between the

rebels and the syrian army have only been escalating recently and the last several hotspots of the fighting in the central part of syria not far from the city of homs the northern part of the problem turkish border on the syrian iraq people did but the fear is clashes happening some ten to fourteen kilometers from where i am right now around damascus in a belt of villages and suburbs that they have been known as opposition strongholds and have been permanent source of trouble since the beginning of the uprising here last march and the clashes have been continuing in these halls and these areas in the last sixteen months almost no install and now we're here in the offensive of the syrian army against these areas is continuing and reports a comment about dozens of people killed and hundreds of all the injured were also here in the hundreds of others people fleeing these areas and there are reports in both miserable humanitarian situation there with dead bodies is

a pilot on the streets elect told food and no running water and you know electricity is so far as is definitely continuing here in syria but this time u.n. has made it clear both sides of the conflict both the rebels and the government a reporter responsible for reads and. the weapons supplied to both sides again all this conflict has been escalating needs and all supposed to further militarization should be avoided and is a very dangerous certainly is very disturbing to hear and the images we're seeing i'm sure you're surrounded by it tell you the opposition is fighting not only assad but with the divisions they are fighting within their own ranks as well. yesterday was the second day of the oh for the opposition meeting in cairo in the middle of the main idea of this meeting was to unify in order to gain some trust of

the syrian people indeed the opposition since the beginning of the uprising has been harshly criticized for being too fragmented and too fragmented even to be trusted and they themselves been confirm and that that they have that they have to unify they have to unite to hammer out a common vision on this syrian conflict it seems that it's not going to happen this time at least because some of these opposition boycotted this meeting in cairo and the free syrian army members and some independent activists based in syria have criticized this meeting paul and it is a conspiracy and accuse a need for ignoring the question of buffer zones protected by the international community humanitarian corridors and air in bargo and the army of rebel fighters it's surprising to hear that while u.n. is saying that weapons are being supplied to both sides that

it is fuel that are fueling the conflict so it sounds like some of the opposition is now rady to reduce the cost the idea of interim government this latest peace initiative forged at the meeting engineer in geneva but the reason opposition that is that this still is not ready to give up and doesn't want to talk and only wants to continue flight certainly an extreme outcome for what seems like another failed peace plan will very international damascus thank you for that update. more insight coming up on what elements of a healthy transition are needed to avoid more bloodshed in syria author and correspondent martin safe wonders whether such concerns bother the minds of hawks across the atlantic. successful democracies evolve they cannot be created instantaneously overnight americans have for a hundred years drunk instant coffee you take

a little. a little who envelope of coffee of powder you poured into a cop you had hot water instant coffee now they believe democracy can be spread the same way you simply take american instant democracy the american blueprint for democracy you impose it on the country you have water pressed so instance democracy the world does not work that way they thought it did with the arab spring but they also so the administration and the republicans to face it are blind to the terrible dangerous but their policies are causing. him to stay tuned for the full interview with martin say if that's coming up in the next hour. they are zones latest financial solutions are having trouble getting off the ground finland and the netherlands are unhappy with plans to allow the new

permanent bailout fund by bonds on the open market the rescue part is also to be challenged in court in germany where the pollen and saying it violates the country's constitution first consultant john hulsman says chancellor angela merkel has finding herself with little room to maneuver. what's going to happen is that they're going to have to backstop the hundred million million dollar loan to spain which means the german taxpayers will be indirectly responsible and what the court case is about is the court gently telling the private the private the chancellor to slow down because we live in a democracy and if there's any change in liability where power is devolved to brussels and directly the court says that the germans have to consult their parliament and indeed they have to have a referendum the last thing mrs merkel wants is to go to the people on these issues where obviously giving people money without conditions is not wildly popular mrs merkel has to tread very very carefully and this is the problem she's pressed by outsiders to give more money she's pressed to mastic lead to give no money and

eventually the rock in the hard place are going to lead to an almighty bang part of the problem for her and she's in a terrible position is that she needs to move faster than the glacial pace of the twenty european summit markets can move money and with a flick of a keyboard millions of dollars so she know she has to go faster but if she goes too fast there isn't due process meaning there isn't time to deliberate over this in parliament and there isn't time then review in the courts so if she does move too fast she loses the very democratic democratic legitimacy which is vital if she's going to bring germany along with her so she's stuck between a rock and a hard place and scots and markets and weaker euro zone nations while economically strong germans are also being forced to change their ways normally conservative consumers have been splashing out on luxury cars and expensive houses even more so than before the current crisis on a boycott investigates what's pushing the spending spree. better for economy good for business detroit cross has been selling vintage cars for almost three decades

a silent as he conducts his final interview for his show you this theme running on are now in it he keeps up with his tradition of interviewing formally imprisoned activists political leaders going to see him speaking to and why abraham. bhowmick deputy prime minister and now one of the leading opposition figures in the country faces them have faced persecution this being politically motivated leading of course to the most sinister criminal allegations disgusting you use this for sorry democracy democracy elections should the independence. be used to. so to be strong in the scheme. i sometimes feel like speaking this way myself. now as a rising internal rival to the former prime minister. and what you face sexual

assault allegations and was imprisoned for five years after being smeared with allegations that you can join the similarities between his case and what's happening with julian the songs of course kill innocent has never actually been charged with a crime but he is wanted in sweden the questioning the sexual assault allegations now asuncion his legal team has always maintained that they're fighting this legal battle against the extradition because they fear that once in sweden it will be very easy to extradite if it's to the u.s. so this particular thing that i mean came about as a result of. your police department saying we must have a way to take terrorists from one country to another you know. you must you know the rule of the game enjoy it because. now all this coming at a time when the u.s. has once again reiterated its calls for

a song to be prosecuted for espionage we've heard senator dianne feinstein saying that the wiki leaks founder had compromised america's security she said that the song schools himself a journalist that he's no journalist he's an agitated not very strong language that mixed messages that have been coming from the u.s. with the foreign minister of that country denying the remotest possibility that any case against assad and. that coming as the u.s. justice department has said that the investigation into wiki leaks continues so it doesn't really seem that the u.s. knows exactly what this line on the song should be at the moment so the stakes remaining extreme. the high here as doing the sounds remains inside the ecuadorian embassy away think that all important decision on whether or not he'll be granted asylum and that sara firth was saying julian assange is refusing to leave that quote or zambesi before a decision on his fate has been made he is attempting to avoid being put on trial

in the u.s. for spying free speech activist trevor tim says these plans undermine america's constitution and could set a dangerous precedent what the new york times does is actually considered worse than what wiki leaks did because the new york times routinely publishes what is called top secret classified information which is actually the highest classification that u.s. government uses and the only thing wiki leaks has published although they've published hundreds of thousands of documents has been secret and below which is a lower class occasion and if we get leaks is punished for this type of behavior the new york times isn't just in much trouble or if or more so now the government has argued that they can go after government leaders but never have they been able to prosecute a private citizen for publishing this information in the public interest and the real problem is that if it if it actually came to fruition then that not only would wiki leaks and joined us on to be in jail for doing what essentially every other

newspaper does but in the future other newspapers who want to publish stories in the public interest the administration would be able to threaten these newspapers prosecution bring them to trial and not only would it stifle free speech in the sense that it could put journalists in jail but it could also bankrupt many media organizations would have to spend millions of dollars defending themselves against what is traditionally a protected. protected by the first amendment. don't forget that the final episode of join us angelus entering the show is set to air on our t.v. today at eleven thirty g.m.t. and of course you can find all the previous episodes at a sun started dot com. a draft law is in the works in iran that seeks to block shipments of wealth through the strait of hormuz to countries that have imposed sanctions on the islamic republic one iranian m.p. says the action would be in response to europe's oil embargo and u.s. penalties against have won those measures are aimed at pressuring iran to curbing

its controversial nuclear program but the islamic republic says it has no problem selling oil some large customers like china have been exempted from u.s. sanctions iran has also been stockpiling money and goods to buffer the impact of the measures against the country independent researcher and writer psoriasis who are all rich says tehran is actually trying to fight back at attempts to bring down islamic rule. iran looking back at the history knows that it has no choice it either goes down or it has to defend itself and i think it will if it's ready to defend itself it has the means and the capability of the policy it's all in barca's have been used to devastate the economy and for foreign powers to basically take over the country considered civilian nuclear program it's simply a means to an end what washington has in mind is to remove the regime iran has

tried with washington with the p five and one that's one it has even said that it would give up its medical isotopes its twenty percent enriched uranium if iran can be supplied with isotopes for its medical research but the war powers not wanted to reach a conclusion reached an agreement so iran is even more convinced that this is just . an excuse for regime change. more of that story is available whenever you want it on our website here's some of what else is waiting there for you bikes behind bars . and mates at a brazilian prison get the chance to shave time all their sentences by generating electricity through pedal power giving them more than light at the end of the tunnel plus. football crazy a russian club that can afford to sign the most highly paid player on the planet

parent however play at home get the details on big spending on g.'s misfortune at r t dot com. while nato chiefs are optimistic on progress in afghanistan critics believe the war over a decade has left only chaos and uncertainty behind frequent attacks on foreign troops there continue and while two thousand and fourteen will see a full handover of local security forces there are growing fears of even more violence afterwards laura smith has these details. it's now a familiar refrain so-called green on blue killings in afghanistan this week saw three more british soldiers killed by an afghan policeman bringing the number of foreign personnel killed in route shootings this year to over twenty britain's ministry of defense though sees a much rosier picture the recently returned brigadier patrick saunders telling of

a helmand province where local forces take more responsibility for security there are fewer taliban attacks more schools and medical centers have been built the disparity between what. happening is absolutely glaring one. everything's ok let's hope for the best it's all going to work properly at the same time we see record numbers of western troops now being killed by afghan police and soldiers exactly the people who are supposed to be taking over from them so it isn't working death tolls are rising and perhaps most importantly growing in their opposition to the foreign troops former captain patrick barrie can well imagine the scene he was deployed to sangin in helmand in two thousand and eight his job to win hearts and minds it didn't work when we deployed there we realized pretty quickly that only about fifty percent of the population actually wanted because of the

tribal dynamics in our. they were very keen to have us a lot in the area and so became a lot more violent and we predicted and really want to achieve in the six months that i was there very little with blood being spilled on a daily basis the so-called security transition rolls on soon afghan forces will be responsible for seventy five percent of the population by the middle of next year the rest of the country will start being handed over to its own troops and the british to leave altogether by the end of two thousand and fourteen seemingly whatever happens helmand. is relatively calm compared to parts of kandahar where drugs and the taliban still dominate but gains even according to some in the army all reversible particularly if nato soldiers and no longer there to reinforce them if you put in afghan forces into these areas are they actually going from their bases in patrolling and so winning over the population or as the attacks mean to go in some so they just come back so they control only

a small area and what they call like a small lozenge of security and a really confined to the base you know on paper you say you know we hand it over and it looks really good but in reality what's going on it's an interesting question i personally believe in some of those hotly contested areas i think we're going to have a big a big. problem whatever afghan forces do it's got to be paid for european countries are under pressure from the us to foot a third of the full billion dollar annual bill president karzai says he needs to maintain security of the two thousand and fourteen something austerity ridge in europe will be deeply reluctant to shell out for norris myth london. time now for some more world news in brief libya has a free for members of the international criminal court arrested four weeks ago on suspicion of spying they still have to return to tripoli later this month for a final ruling on their case one of them lawyer melinda taylor was charged with smuggling documents to colonel gadhafi is captured son saif al islam was accused of
