the u.n. calls for a halt on arms supplies to syria to pave the path for peace and a transitional government. meanwhile the period no signs of a cease fire with clashes between the army and the rebels are only escalating more details just ahead. in a week after it was agreed the euro zone's new bailout fund is already under pressure under challenge from stronger economies aren't in a german court. and america's hunt for doing the sounds appears to be continuing is set to bring you the final episode of this interview show.

hello and thank you for joining our tea this tuesday it's ten o'clock here in moscow and i'm karen taraji well despite the latest international peace plan for syria the fighting there is intensifying across the country as well as near damascus the u.n. has urged a halt to weapons supplies from abroad to the warring sides which it says is fueling the violence archies more infant is in damascus. situation is very dramatic in syria as president bashar assad has recently sat series now in the real state to go and this is exactly what we see right now here on the ground the question between the rebels and the syrian army have only been this clayton recently and the last several hotspots of the fighting in the central part of syria not far from the city of palms that northern part of the proper turkish border on the syrian iraq people but the fear is clashes happening some time into full ten 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 a permanent source of trouble since the beginning of the uprising here last march this time europe has made it clear both sides of the conflict are equally responsible for raids and weapons supplied to both sides again over this conflict has been escalating needs and all suppose that further militarization should be avoided and is a very dangerous today is the second die off the opposition makes in in congo in the main idea of this meeting was to unify you know the 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 confirmed that that they hunted they have to unify they have to you know it's to hammer out

a common vision on this syrian conflict but some of these opposition boycotted this meeting in cairo that the free syrian army members and some independent activists spacey in syria have criticised this meeting paul and it is a conspiracy and to accuse a need for ignoring the question of buffer zones protected by the international community humanitarian corridors and air in and the amin all of the rebel fighters it's surprising to hear that while u.n. is saying that the weapons being. why is it to both sides fuel the conflict so it sounds like some of the opposition is now raging to reduce the cost the idea of interim government this latest peace initiative at the meeting in geneva but the reason all of that is the c.e.o. is not ready to give off and doesn't want to talk and only wants to continue. oxford university middle east academics are wanting says violence must stop before

any further steps to stabilize syria can be taken but we really need to move away from looking at the rebels who are largely foreign backed. as the only opposition in town there is a dynamic and diverse domestic opposition and i think it's incumbent upon the media and different players to pull out these voices first the government of syria house to ensure the safety of civilians and protect infrastructure before they move on to the next stop i mean you can't rush to the second step without the first so i think there has to be a deescalation of violence inside syria before you can move on what's the point of having peace talks when there are bombs going off in various cities and civilians and soldiers getting killed we have to consider first who supporting the violence on the ground and it's still a number of western countries and then a number of arab states particularly in the gulf countries we cannot move forward in this process until that part has been taken care of and it's it's unfortunate

that iran and saudi arabia were not including the geneva talks saudi arabia is a major supporter of arming and supporting the militias inside syria this process and the rhetoric behind it that comes largely from the west house to be unraveled before moving forward. more insight coming up on what elements of a healthy transition are needed to avoid more bloodshed in syria author and correspondent martin schaefer wonders whether such concerns bother the minds of hawks across the atlantic. 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. stay tuned for the full interview with martin sheriff that's coming up in just a little over twenty minutes time. the euro zone's 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 to buy bonds on the open market rescue part is also to be challenged in court in germany with opponents saying and violates the country's constitution risk consultant john hulsman says chancellor angela merkel is finding herself with little room to maneuver. what's going to

happen is that they're going to have to backstop the hundred million dollars 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 prime 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 america wants is to go to the people on these issues are obviously giving people money without conditions is not wildly popular mrs america has to tread very very carefully and this is the problem she's pressed by outsiders to give more money she's pressed to medically 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 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 and it would usually 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 it's cats cuts and mark cuts and weaker euro zone nations while economically strong germans are also being forced to change their ways normally conservative consumers happen splashing out on lingerie cars and expensive houses more so than before the current crisis on a boycott investigates what's pushing the spending spree. that for economy good for business. cross has been selling vintage cars for almost three decades but he says he's never had a better run of trade than in the last year and a half and use of the euro's instability has told the wills of his business so well there is stiff competition event to become one of his customers. in gold to the

they see as more durable it's not like money has always been burning holes in german pockets traditionally the people of this country have been pretty conservative spenders with the average household putting aside eleven percent of the time come what may be your risk future shrouded in uncertainty more and more germans are now buying into the idea that saving is wasting low interest rates combined with increasing inflation made savings accounts and profitable more than a decade ago. the bag few believe the euro crisis vindicated here once and for all turning a one's diligent saver into germany's most. vocal advocate of spend spend spend more and more people get. nervous even like the luxury people rich people. things to they don't believe the money and come home renovations to expensive medical procedures fear of the possible devaluation is pushing germans into

as a success despite the mounting death toll of foreign military personnel in the country this year. join us a presence on our t.v. which has made world headlines drawls choice that for now the final episode of his news making interview show airs this tuesday this time the top whistleblower talks to malaysian opposition leader anwar ibrahim about the fight for freedom and the hypocrisy of some world leaders are to sarah furthur ports. today we're going to stay with the watch today in a silent as he conducts his final interview fish a that's been running. now and it keeps up with his tradition of interviewing formally imprisoned activists political leaders are going to see him speaking to. his moment 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 discussed to use this facade democracy democratic elections due to show the independence. saudia be so to be strong in the skin. i sometimes feel like speaking this way myself. now as a rising internal rival to the former prime minister in malaysia and what ever him 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 is never actually being charged with a crime but he is wanted in sweden for questioning the sexual assault allegations

now asuncion his legal team have always maintained that they're fighting this legal battle against the extradition because they fear that once in sweden it would be very easy to extradite songe to the u.s. so this particular thing that i'm trapped under that 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 but he's no journalist he's an agitated 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 the storage bolt but that coming as the u.s. justice department has said the investigation into wiki leaks continues so it doesn't really seem that the u.s. knows exactly what this line on a song should be at the moment so the stakes remaining extremely high here as julian assange remains inside the ecuadorian embassy awaiting that all important decision on whether or not he'll be granted asylum. and sarah furthur was just saying join us and is refusing to leave doors of the sea before a decision on this fate has been made he is attempting to avoid being put on trial in the u.s. for spying free speech activists 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 leave this punished for this type of behavior the new york times isn't just in much trouble 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 not only would wiki leaks enjoy dishonored 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 papers 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

who have spent millions of dollars defending themselves against what is traditionally a protected. protected by the first amendment. don't forget that the final episode of joanna songes interview show is set to air on r t today at eleven thirty g.m.t. now course you can find all the previous episodes at some stuff dot com. and a draft law is in the works in iran that seeks to block shipments of oil 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 tech crunch those measures are aimed at pressuring iran into curbing its controversial nuclear program but there's lama propelled like says it has no problem selling oil as some large customers like china been exempt. from the u.s. sanctions iran has also been stockpiling money and goods to buffer the impact of the measures against the country and abandon researcher and writer soraya for all

rich. is actually trying to fight back at attempts to bring down islamic bomb. iran looking back at this 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 politics of it all in barca's have been used to devastate the economy and for foreign powers to basically take over the country the pursuit of civilian nuclear program it's simply a means to an end what washington has in mind is to remove the regime iraq has tried to create with washington with the p five n one that's one it has even said that he would give up its medical isotopes its twenty percent enriched uranium if iran can decide with isotopes for its medical research but the war powers not

wanted to come mitchell conclusion reached an agreement so iran is even more convinced that this is just. an excuse for regime change. more on that story available whenever you want it right on our web site 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 tunnel their sentences by generating electricity through pedal power giving them more than just 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 can't however play at home get the details on big spending on g.'s misfortune dot com. well nato chiefs are optimistic on progress in afghanistan critics believe the war of over a decade has left only chaos and uncertainty behind frequent attacks on foreign

troops there continue and while twenty fourteen will see a full handover to local security forces there are growing fears of even more violence afterwards laura smith with the 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 we do saying and what's actually happening is absolutely glaring one be saying 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 the afghans are 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 to sarah because of the tribal dynamics in our. gangs and they're very keen to have us a lot in the area and so it 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 are no longer there to reinforce them if you put enough going forces into these areas are they actually going from their bases and 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 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
