syria's main opposition leaders are refusing to a budget top level talks right here in moscow saying they don't want president assad in power and they're demanding the u.n. intervenes to stop the bloodshed the. spanish mine is fluck the streets of madrid in protest of subsidy cuts the government announces yet more painful tax hikes. and a civil rights groups reporter says that racism and hostility towards immigrants is on the rise in greece being blamed on the economic crisis and a rise in nationalism.

it is good to have you with us here on r.t. . and live in moscow welcome to the program tough negotiations right here in the russian capital where the top diplomat has been meeting with the syrian national council of the arab countries main opposition alliance so far there's been no meeting of minds with the group insisting president assad's regime must be deposed before they will be any peace with his support now on enough. we did hear from the head of the syrian national council who said that the russians have put forth some sort of a new proposal for the opposition group it's not clear what that proposal will be but that they will continue to discuss this in a subsequent talks we also heard that the head of the syrian national council said that an intervention by the u.n. security council of the best solution to the syrian crisis in a short position of this opposition group the main one in syria or mainstream it

more or less the same they want to end the removal of assad before a dialogue takes place but he's the chair of the council reiterated that statement again essentially calling for talks with people who are not responsible in his words for the killings and crimes of president assad. bosco's actually put together a draft resolution that was circulated yesterday that essentially suggests extending the e.u. and observer to british mission for another three months of that vicious supposed to run around judge allied twentieth twenty first and of course the mission was to oversee a cease fire that was largely ceased to exist there has not been a ceasefire in syria and so what the russians are proposing is that the u.n. monitors focus reshift their efforts on looking for a political solution political transition to syria as opposed to wandering and to the fighting that has been taking place as of yet there are now discussing the possibility of a new resolution in the u.n. security council that would authorize the use of either new diplomatic and economic

sanctions to even potentially the use of force which would of course extremely complicate the situation we'll have to keep in mind that the u.n. security council isn't the only party or interesting part to these talks we have regional players like iran and saudi arabia the russians have actually called for a new proposal that would hold talks here in russia in bringing saudi arabia bringing iran to the table but even that prospect was again dismissed by the opposition groups the syrian national council here and moscow so it again it really just seems to be like a difficult difficult diplomatic situation with no resolution in the immediate sight. reporting there while a lot of us are here on r t we speak to michel kilo the leader of another side a group in syria he says the syrian national council simply cannot speak for the entire opposition. group is capable of toppling a despotic regime such as the syrian government you specially if they haven't got

the public on their side and then we have some people based here committing cleave to their the opposition and the people stand behind them what it really is is a kind of culture of politics and an insult to the people of the syrian national council should realize that they are but one group within your position and they are not entitled to speak on behalf of the entire opposition while this destruction goes on and the ruling regime wins it will rule over ruin and suffer a strategic defeat if the opposition wins it will inherit the country and an unmanageable condition. live from moscow this is r t spanish coal miners have converged on the streets of downtown madrid in the country's the latest huge protest against austerity cuts they're angry at the government cutting subsidies to the mining sector by almost two thirds some of them have traveled over four hundred fifty kilometers by foot marching to madrid from their mining hometown for two weeks thousands of supporters

of joined the protest right in the capital and the rally signifies a major test for prime minister hoyer who today announced a new set of austerity measures which include a raising the v eighteen tax rate from eighteen to twenty one percent journalists eyebright. says the government's bluntly breaking election pledges. these measures are taken against what the government had been promised been promising during the electoral campaign they said they would not raise taxes they would not raise to be a t. that would not touch the holidays and the salaries of public workers well they are doing that now so. obviously yes we are under the control of brussels there's no doubt we need to save the banks of course we need the banking system but the problem is that if to save the banking system we have to put in danger all of the spanish economy i have to remind you that spain didn't have a huge debt actually it was one of the lowest in europe now if it will go up to

ninety percent of its g.d.p. and this is because of the banks so people are angry about that they think they can cope with these protests partly because. mining regions are of course very localized in certain areas of the country these are a small area us the truth is that the miners are getting a lot of solidarity because many people relates to them and sees their problems their own problems so well maybe the government is in for a surprise in that sense. this is r.t. coming up for you in the program a rough justice tweeting activist ends up in jail in bahrain as the government continues its crackdown on the opposition. hard times in greece meaning difficult ones for immigrants as well with the economic crisis being blamed for ports of increased racial intolerance a recent human rights group report suggests that police are refusing to give assistance to foreign victims of abuse and are often accused of are failing to

investigate complaints properly jake aggrieved takes a look at allegations of xenophobia and austerity wrappers to greece. all round the country crumbles some parts of greece seeing firm foundations take root. we want a nationalistic state all of them should go back to where they came from the word of an elected official as unemployment grows hand in hand with extremist sentiments looking for people to blame for their current plight the golden dawn party has proven to be the prime outlet the public anger get that if you ask me about violence i would have to say yes we do have violence increase the not the violence you are suggesting it is the violence that thousands of geeks suffer from but those goings of foreigners that we are allowed to govern accumulate in our land. despite spouting racism from the podium and scandals including physically assaulting politicians live on air the party still secured around seventy percent of the vote

in the parliamentary elections. campaigning with a promise to throw all sick immigrants out of their hospital beds and incendiary pledge as having dark consequences as greece and in particular athens have seen a spike in the number of hate crimes i have seen. almost that's the bad things by organized groups led by. a very see these attacks are happening. at night i'm there forever doesn't integrate by people who are often for dead and armed with clouds. came to greece two years ago fleeing war torn somalia but he's found no peace in athens hard wish if i'd known what it was going to be like here i would never have left somalia for what happened to you when you're attacked. they beat me to the ground and ran over my leg with a bike. his case is by no means unique the mother of these children was also

assaulted while pregnant the perpetrators remain at large as in neighborhoods like this in central athens where an increasing number of attacks are taking place the so-called vigilante groups in disco targeting the minorities. victims say there's little point turned to the police they're just not interested. greece's immigrant influx is worse than any other e.u. country is poorest border with turkey that's where ninety percent of all those seeking refuge and to europe and in a country that's circling the drain and nationalist rhetoric is flooding into mainstream politics i think that the. good here are the groups minute hardest insists it's an e.u. wide problem which hardpressed greece ends up paying for twice with

a doubling to agreement what happens is once one in a government grant is been caught. in the in the other place in europe he's going back to the country that hindered europe from the good and. the means the end up in greece after his pleas for more support of refugees just keep on coming the danger for them is not the trouble they're fleeing from for the fun of extremism but entering thank you greece friends. and a greek economist yanis varoufakis believes that racial hostility is being spurred on by a nationalistic rhetoric from the very top we've seen it in the thirty seventh when there were people lose hope this begins to action and out of it nothing good can it should act as a warning for all of us that whenever a social economy loads as opposed to just going through a recession. scapegoating becomes the order of the problem is that the authorities

themselves are being infiltrated by the government that we think we have folks not being extremely close to next to by neo nazis and the police and we have. and we have the breakdown effect the consensus seems the second world war and greets where fascism and that's is we're simply not on. so good to have you with us on the program today still to come just a bit later in the program america in asia hillary clinton regs and a story corps that allow us the country scarred by the field legacy of the vietnam war which continues to pose a threat to its citizens. so just off a ten minutes past the hour here in moscow cuban leader raul castro begins a three day visit to russia for talks with vladimir putin the countries which have shed long friendly relations focusing on further economic cooperation as reports
