several army assaults against opposition hotbeds in the eastern outskirts of damascus some fourteen kilometers from the city center now we're hearing about at least four neighborhoods in the southern part of damascus some twenty minute drive from the city center where government told troops are fighting gunmen governmental sources are saying that most of these gunmen not from damascus but they've come here from homs in central syria and from in the country's north where the army has seen the success late the position has been claiming the army has been using more tars and shelling these areas and also that they've been using vehicles many roads within this city are blocked especially in troubled areas and troubled parts of the city obviously what we can confirm is that we hear shootings but i have to say not quite heavy and not all the time and when daylight we've been able

to see smoke over the city. solving the syrian crisis amid deep divisions between foreign powers well be the focus of today's meeting between antar national peace envoy kofi annan and president hu and moscow russia is accusing western nations of not working towards peace in syria and blackmailing moscow to take action against the syrian government artist john thomas has the details those key sticking points are what is expected to be discussed between kofi annan and president vladimir putin today in fact russia saying that the west is not living up to the promises that were agreed upon in geneva just a short time ago which were to promote a dialogue between all parties involved in the conflict and for all sides to lay down arms in fact russia saying the west is using this as an opportunity for the u.n. resolution to try and impose sanctions on syria and possibly also to promote a foreign military intervention something that russia is really trying to avoid

pointing to libya as an example as a way that western military intervention just didn't work out saying that the situation in libya right now is just as messy as it was before the uprising in libya russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov said that the west is trying to blackmail russia into swinging to their side lavrov also said that threatening russia over its position on syria is beyond the scope of diplomacy and decencies forcing regime change is something that that russia says is unrealistic in syria because bashar assad has the support of the syrian you know russia supports a call for you know on some peace talks in fact what they say is they support talks of all parties involved in fact they have said multiple times that they are not taking sides in this conflict they're not supporting the assad regime rather they want dialogue of all parties involved one thing that they do want is for a non to work more actively with the opposition the opposition when representatives

came to moscow to meet with law but they said they will not work with which are all assad and. it is believed that values and refusals stem from confusing messages of from the west so right now what we're waiting on is what will actually come between the talks of kofi annan and president vladimir putin course russia saying that they fully support the peace process r.t. is constantly following developments in and around syria. says it's firsthand experience in the stricken city on twitter and don't forget to check our facebook page for more analysis and insight into the syrian crisis. it's.

repression against the pro-democracy and human rights activists in the short time that i was in bahrain i felt like the situation was actually deteriorating it is across the country it is extremely widespread and in villages and towns all over bahrain there is violent repression of attempts to demonstrate and attempts to protest even more alarming much more increase of house raids in middle of the night in villages all over riot police coming in surrounding houses brutally arresting people and imprisoning them taking people from restaurants swimming pools their private homes this practice of targeting activists and demonstrators fortunately seems to be on the rise and very widespread right now and only time will tell i guess how how long they will be able to keep struggling but i did not see any signs of people giving up i saw signs of people reinvigorated

the bahraini regime is very determined not to let what's happening be exposed and so anyone who's going to bahrain with the purpose of the agenda of trying to show what's happening and trying to really expose the reality on the ground there is wants to keep them out and keep them silent as much as possible. if you're just tuning into our team stick around still ahead in the program fixing a leak. the fate of all legit wiki leaks informer bradley manning hangs in the balance with pretrial hearings on the way in the u.s. and. wealthy british style it's an expert on life on.

administrations combined under the espionage act i don't think whistleblowers are ever going to stop this long as there is injustice and wrongdoing and government there will always be people who had great personal risk in a great personal sacrifice will tell the truth and get the word out and that's a very good thing. and don't forget we've got every story covered on our website r t dot com here's what's waiting for you there right now it's a lay in the newspaper to come up with the way to approach circulation showing pictures of dead world figures varying from living outrage in the process the full story is that our dot com. from a day with justin bieber for their daughter to run to the london eye for a kid's birthday we report on the most ridiculous demands of russian oligarchs a problem.

for decades belgium has offered a safe haven tema grounds mainly from muslim countries but now a new starter kit in the northern region of flanders telling moroccans how to behave if it's causing outrage emigrants say they're being portrayed as savages moving into the civilized world an approach which is being called racist artists are silly explains. did you know that in belgium the flemish eat healthy live inside their homes most of the time and don't make noise after ten pm or did you know that men and women are equal and it's forbidden to hurt someone mentally or physically including your partner or children and that if you want to get a job you must learn dutch well these are just some pointers about the country in

the new starter kit given to the moroccan government for distribution to moroccans who have gotten the official go ahead to immigrate to flanders it also includes a short video featuring testimonies from recent immigrants about their experience. in a modern society based on the principles of. where freedoms and rights for everybody also we've obligations were separation. a quality of. with no discrimination principles but some were left rather dumbfounded by the kind of information the packet contained. when you see that in belgian living who is what does that mean it means americans live in trees when a belgian neighbor makes news and two three am because he's drunk and it keeps me awake during the kids to explain that he must respect the hour because we do not make news in belgium after ten pm this is common courtesy around the world the starter's good is meant to provide basic information but it may be too basic for

some the proponents of the initiative say it was made to target immigrants with low skill or educational levels but critics say that what's written in it and some of what's come with it are simply patronized and insulting raising questions on the stereotypes locals may have on the foreigners coming to their country. i think there's a very large share of racism in this excuse me but that's not how we educate about two thousand five hundred moroccans immigrate to flanders each year as part of family reunification or marriage migration as soon as they arrive they can join a civic integration program organize. by the flemish government which primarily focuses on teaching dutch law not sure it's important to point out that in order to integrate you need to speak dutch i have no problem with that but what i have a problem with is this social cultural references they explain to you that in order to find your place you must culturally match certain. those in favor of the starter

kit insists that the initiative aims to manage possible false expectations about belgium and to address the fact that integration has been ineffective so far you are able perfectly able to get the belgian nationality if you want belgian citizenship without even knowing one of the official languages of this country and this reflects i think the whole idea of what they call the an integration policy which is an integration policy because it's completely up to the people coming here to if they really want to without if they're really want to integrate but for those who do want to integrate something else they can expect to find out is that the flemish are like walnuts hard on the outside but softer on the inside and one more thing it rains a lot of belgium but it doesn't rain money does or cilia r.t. brussels and as the economic crisis bites hard in belgium and the whole of europe better on today max kaiser and stacey her birth look at some of the more
