below and welcome to our t. this friday it is twelve o'clock here in moscow and i'm karen taraji well fierce clashes continue across syria as rebels have managed to seize border crossings choy iraq and one into turkey opposition fighters are now trying to a build on the momentum gained by advances near the capital and wednesday's bomb attack that killed top syrian military officials are more if an optional has the details. free syrian army soldiers are now controlling all four border crossings at the syrian iraqi border but the top official has also said that the iraqi guards have witnessed. from the side of free syrian army soldiers from opposition fighters

we also been able to see the to post it on to from the syrian turkish border where gunmen have been shouting religious slogans and shooting. portrays a free syrian army has been able to take control over crossings at the border that means that they they are very determined in large scale operation against regime of president bashar al assad but that doesn't necessarily mean that they still keep in this control because everything changes very fast we've been here on the ground for almost fifty days already and i have to say what we've been able to see in the last five days has been the most dramatic moment for the syrian capital of the clashes between the army and the rebels have been taking place in at least five districts all of damascus and it's been extremely difficult to get in side these districts but on thursday we finally managed to do that and what we saw really

devastating destroyed streets abandoned houses no people of variously and many many traces of war and a very fierce clashes we've even seen many tracks of tanks and although not totally on the roads but on what used to be the cars obviously all shops are closed and we have to understand that these districts are not remote. damascus not far from the center of the city center we've been here for one the month now and we've been to these districts many times. by something talking to people and of course it's been very sad. to see how different the picture is right now people are trying to deal with this situation and we are in mazed how brave they are in this situation facing horror of war that has come to their home they say yes we know it

is happening right now here in damascus and in our country it's been here for seventeen months already but we cannot do anything with these and live has to go on and we have to leave so they're trying to do with this is just waiting for this nightmare to end this is what they say. the u.n. security council has agreed to disagree on syria russia and china have voted vetoed rather another attempt by western states to push a resolution threatening sanctions and use of force against the assad regime now the extension of the u.n. observer mr mission in syria is at stake artie's marina horton i reports. russia has said for from the get go that he would not support any resolutions on syria that would include the potential of sanctions being imposed or even military intervention this western backed resolution that was drafted by the u.k. called on damascus to immediately seize any kind of fighting and the use of

heavy weapons and withdraw from populated centers and the resolution gave the syrian government ten days to comply with those demands otherwise sanctions would be imposed. what was attached to that draft resolution is a forty five day extension of the u.n. supervision mission in syria so that is quite clear why russia would not give its support to this western backed resolution because it was putting all the pressure and consequence on the syrian government and not putting any pressure consequence on the armed opposition that are part that's participating in the violence in syria that has been increasing as we've seen over the past seventeen months so the russian ambassador to the united nations vitaly churkin did address the media saying that there is still time for the security council to reach a consensus but he said that russia would not support any any moves or past for

military intervention into syria and he also warned western countries may be trying to destabilize syria to possibly of move further in and around iran to make you know to the lesions to you there is no. adult about it that the major geopolitical is. being pulled on the fields of sudan which has nothing to do with the interests of the syrian people the clock is ticking because if this mandate expires and it is not renewed then that means that the united nations would not have any force in syria that is. verifying what is taking place on the ground what you came back to the u.n. said is that they have drafted britain as drafted a new resolution that was over the u.n. mission in syria for a final thirty days and that is something which the security council is

considering but according to the turkish there are still very many questions surrounding this new drama that has been proposed by britain the british draft is in many ways. because it has only two q. but that to give us and they contradict each other the first that are going to says that it's the final extension of thirty days and the second but it was said that the mission can be extended provided certain conditions are being made in the united nations at the end of the day does need a mission in the ground because if that mission is removed then the situation in syria can get worse without any objective reporting that's tied to the u.n. . in an exclusive interview with r.t. and russian ambassador to the u.n. explained why the country said no to the western backed resolution in the crucial vote on syria you can see it on this channel throughout the day here on our team. professor lawrence davidson from west chester university in the u.s. says that if the international community really wants to stop violence in syria it

has to put pressure on those sponsoring the rebels. this u.n. resolution was something of a red herring. because it wouldn't have made much difference on the ground the british ambassador to the u.n. made a statement that said that. the resolution would have helped save lives i think this is just utter fantasy i think from the american standpoint why into being openly when it's possible that the regime might fall just through clandestine intervention in direct intervention and if the british and the americans and the french want to save lives all they have to do is put pressure on those saudis and qataris and others to stop running guns into this area and tell you how to rebel and that law is lawrence davidson history professor at west chester university and

the u.s. . angry protesters were met with tear gas and rubber bullets spanish streets as they marched against more planned austerity and number of people were injured and many detained clashes followed massive peaceful demonstrations which were joined by hundreds of thousands of people hosp ain people are furious that public spending is once again being slashed in response to rescuing the banks the german parliament and gave the green light for the one hundred billion euro bailout on thursday current affairs journalist charlie mcgrath says the european governments are portraying their people. in europe just like the rest of the world you know what the western world we have a system that is putting the onerous fraudulent debt of the bunch of private institutions on the back of the people now they're calling it austerity and then a lot of people are you know they're completely frustrated they have nowhere else to turn and

a lot of the signs even say we have nothing else that we can do other than take to the streets there is no representative government where there are there happens to be politicians that want to stand up on behalf of the people you know we have the european community deposing them and installing their own technocrats so you know the heavy handed tactics you know bought and paid for security that's going to go out and quell the rabble if the government decided to do the right thing by the people of the country i think there would be understanding that we're going to all go through the west the united states europe the entire planet is going to go through some tough economic times but when you have politicians going forward and saying well you know what we're going to take more of your financial future so we can give it to a bunch of banks you know there's going to be reaching a limit of understanding by the citizenry of the world almost six million people in spain are out of the child struggling to find the means to support themselves and their families some are seeking a better life beyond the borders of their country but it looks like they might have

to go further afield than neighboring euro zone states artists are silly or has the story. twenty four point six million people are without jobs across the european union seventeen point four million of them in the eurozone countries with unemployment at its highest levels of the single currency was introduced in spain unemployment hit twenty four point three percent the worst rate in the e.u. and among the spanish and greek youth it's more than half statistics may paint the big picture but they don't quite show the human story real people struggling through each day like this one gary a man who came to belgium three months ago that's leaping in his seat and then i never did before so it's really really how i disappointed you you know i don't want b.b.c. three of them mean i don't want i don't i don't want to. be you know is that. i want to work i want to get ariel the current levels of unemployment on acceptable

. it's a baby it simply cannot see news this way and it also leads to reliance on state subsidies a polite face by job seekers across all sectors and all levels of society and when you are within the european institutions you early to be detached from the tea and you are among the. euro crowds when they say unemployment benefits are too high compared to paid salaries this is the wrong way to see the problem most people aren't paid enough for their jobs in two thousand and ten more than twenty five percent of the e.u.'s g.d.p. was devoted to social benefits seen as a heavy burden on a crisis stricken in europe since then various cuts have been made by member states particularly greece portugal spain and ireland as part of e.u. imposed a stared even powerhouse germany is joining the crunch

a local newspaper reported seeing a leaked directive from the labor minister. blocking a basic unemployment benefits for people who move to germany from some e.u. countries it would be to target it as an attempt to curb abuse of the system by discouraging immigration from struggling e.u. economies you can't really blame. people they are just a victimless everyone else from you can on the system in which they're living and you can only use many of those who don't tell jobs turn to the state for unemployment benefits which may be reduced if it hasn't been already due to continue to sturdy across the e.u. no substantive budget cuts have also stunted economic growth and job creation which leaves the job seeker at exactly the same spot jobless state dependent and increasingly extreme cases living in desperation to answer sylvia artsy brussels. it's not all doom and gloom according to some analysts i'm joined now by marina at

the business desk while marina could it be that someone actually has an optimistic outlook at this point all of her and i wouldn't say it's a mess the eggs but it's better than there was basically we did speak to one analyst who said that what the u.s. is there right now is worth doing and that we're seeing the sly recovery in that europeans should focus and employ the same tactics and we have more of what that expert said in business about twenty minutes for in about ten minutes i should say pushed by the time they're so minutes from now washington. and also coming up in the program attacked or self-defense the u.k. could declare a cyberwar on it and it means with these calling for the aggressive use of over to protect the country's interests even though it's only. israel is now blaming has blocked the lebanese ally of iran for carrying out an attack on a bus with israeli tourists in bulgaria which has left six dead earlier israeli pm

benjamin netanyahu said all signs point to iran with refuting. the accusations as baseless but the standoff between the two seems to have reached new heights. or reports but no minutes on yahoo says that the focus and because of this attack that happened on wednesday in the bulgarian city of burgas is clearly on the shoulders of his but netanyahu says that his bill that acts as the long term of iran in the region and while this is no secret certainly everybody here does know that hizbullah is a proxy for iran and the fact that an attorney who is not naming his below is only going to food to stroke tensions in the region not israel has tried to deal with his been in the past but it has failed back in two thousand and six israel went to war with lebanon over his below but by all accounts that was a war which israel lost to some since israel has almost an say told school card with hizbollah but the timing could not be worse you've got

a region in flux you've got ongoing violence in neighboring syria you've got for the first time and islamised president in neighboring egypt but netanyahu is also known for often using the international concerns and the international community to do it to detract attention away from problems he has on the domestic front there is the real threat that you will see social protesters growing in number in the coming weeks and at the same time this week the largest israeli political party to do. the ruling coalition of netanyahu says that he has problems to deal with on the domestic front. political analyst kamel wall's name believes netanyahu is claims are nothing more than a writer rick aimed at improving his own standing. that has made it very clear that they are not going to use tourist in eastern europe to carry. against the really anything the iranian made very clear statement they're against killing civilians the weather is an israeli or other people but i think mr netanyahu always tried to

play the reunion card down the hezbollah card to remind the international community that he has an enemy and it comes to the point because the nuclear file of the iranian always wanted to keep it on the spot light i think it's merely rhetoric and i wouldn't put a lot of money on what netanyahu. he's very good at what he does they're using there's a broad background game popularity inside of israel but i think at this point the region is on fire and i think the last things that every indian or hizbullah will take you know a shock value in israeli which clearly they will not target. israel iran and other countries and odds with the u.s. and europe could find themselves under a fresh about conventional attack british and say the u.k. should declare cyber war on states and organizations which target it by carrying

out. attacks itself here's archies laura smith if you can't beat him join them that seems to be britain's new attitude when it comes to dealing with. a new report by the u.k.'s intelligence and security commission has concluded it's not enough to defend against cyber attacks additionally the military spy agencies should be actively declaring soluble war on enemy state attack evidently is in their view the best form of defense although in this case they're calling it active defense. there are voicing that britain should be secretly hacking into enemy systems using programs like the stuxnet virus which disrupted iran this nuclear enrichment program it comes just two years after the launch of a six hundred fifty million pounds national soluble security program but progress

according to the m.p.'s on the committee has been slow the national security strategy ranks the threat of cyber attacks alongside that of terrorism and yet this committee of m.p.'s seems fully prepared to engage in itself this despite the fact that the report says the communications agency g c h q believes eighty percent of cyber attacks all preventable three basic measures like using security software and proper passwords cyber attacks of course have the name hacking it's illegal in most countries including the u.k. and britain has its hacking case is currently in the courts including that of autism suffer a gary mckinnon who's been fighting his extradition to the us for hacking into the pentagon's computer system for ten years now so far his government has refused to protect him maybe if state sponsored hacking becomes the norm that will change.
