hello and welcome to our team with main parents we're broadcasting to live from the heart of moscow it's eight o'clock here but a u.n. observer mission convoy in syria has come under attack by tanks according to the world bodies chief ban ki-moon the incident apparently happened in an opposition held area outside the flashpoint city of holmes the u.s. is meanwhile preparing to provide rebel fighters with additional fifteen million dollars in aid which may be increased if necessary the opposition has also called on their foreign supporters to supply them with sophisticated weapons to use against government tanks and aircraft that's made continuing clashes in the country's northern city of aleppo where both feet are me out rebel forces claim progress the focus of the battles have shifted to the syrian commercial hub after regime troops flushed out rebels from damascus. over

a week ago and as artist oksana boykin our reports the dust is now slowly settling in the capital. it doesn't take much to set syrians off these days on adj and on a very tight budget residents of damascus are now trying to reclaim the basics they used to take for granted. rising may have started with political protests but now they're starting to morph into riots economically life is getting harder for ordinary syrians but the rebels targeting supply trucks the price of a gallon of gas has risen four fold in the last few months. so when the pro-government and your attempted to distribute fuel at pre-war prices it found itself overwhelmed by the demand because of all of these. special circumstances that happened early people maybe get more nervous of course people had similar difficulties to get their supplies no no everything is just getting
12:03 am
better life is slowly returning to the capital as are the thousands of people who fled the term all there in the past weeks but what they find in their neighborhoods is unlikely to instill much confidence in either of the warring parties the damage inflicted by the clashes to the syrian infrastructure is already asked to made it at the lab and billion dollars and still counting that's almost seventy percent of the country's annual budget you can argue about who is to blame for all this destruction but it's certainly a very high price to pay for any sort of struggle whether it is for democracy or stability no matter who emerges the winner syrians have already lost the government has promised to help the rebuilding but the scale of destruction and the already flagging economy begs the question of just how fast and how efficient that's reckon struction will be meanwhile some already starting to lose patience mohamed a flower trader has returned home to find all three of his cars burned out he used

to calm himself among supporters of the government but now his loyalties are uncertain i don't support the opposition i want to live here like my father and grandfather but if the government can provide us with peace and security have to move to another country or the government needs to go. he's not somebody who would trade he's implements for a rifle but in his neighborhood youngsters are already being radicalized this police car was set on fire by the rebels the charred remains of an officer still inside only says all government sympathy. there is deserve such a death stern words for a fifteen year old who hasn't finished high school yet and all i want is to finish bush or enough of him in addition to political differences the conflict in syria is also generational the young want to fight while the old struggle to find cover. their only goal is to drag syria into chaos everything was fine now it's only
12:05 am
getting worse. both the army and the rebels claim they're fighting for a better life but the majority of civilians trapped in between shudder at the thought of how much worse it's going to get before it gets any better because of the boycott artsy reporting from damascus in syria russia's foreign ministry has accused some media outlets of helping the syrian rebels to achieve their goals political analyst dr ashraf yumi says it's a well planned psychological operation or sign up. it's part of the psychological warfare that the newspapers in washington and new york times washington post is filled with reports and common urging the rebels tools to be ready to govern and the warden. for example to use chemical. war. facility is.

to respect the minorities as if by shuttle as it is going to model but frankly i have some newspapers which dates as back as june two thousand and eleven which predicted the imminence of our bashar to fall. vs our part of the psychological warfare. foreign intervention as something moscow is trying to prevent twenty comes to the situation in syria archie caught up with russia's human rights envoy constantino gore who says a healthy political process is possible only when changes come from within here's a preview of what's to come later this hour. definitely different. when. certain transformations certain political changes being pushed from.
12:07 am
then it's a different picture and. we keep reiterating that it's not only russia's view that you cannot bring your democracy from. democracy used to become the result. of certain internal processes. here as defense secretary leon panetta is already making plans for when syria's president assad is out strong power he said it's crucial for stability after regime chain. to keep the country's military intact and not repeat the mistakes america made after invading iraq and there the army was disbanded by the us led forces setting loose tens of thousands of militants and now a fresh report says that over two hundred billion dollars spent by washington to train iraqi police have gone to waste the u.s. is now preparing to send hundreds of its own police across the world to help locals
12:08 am
handle security john glaser from antiwar dot com believes the plan is more about control and enrichment than regional stability but normally is being wasted on a population that doesn't want to intervening but it's also going to what has happened already is that we've propped up this security apparatus in iraq which is has no respect for human rights at all the obama administration had been pressing the maliki government to try and maintain some contingency force there that could have been anywhere from ten thousand to thirty thousand and when the iraqis said no. the washington wasn't happy about it they're going to try and keep it as big as possible and as important to as possible because otherwise iraq gets outside of our sphere of influence and that is the last thing that washington wants we spend currently. about as much as the rest of the world combined on our military
12:09 am
six times more than china the next so so much of what we do is wasteful but it puts money in the pockets of really rich military industrial complex or organizations and corporations and other drain for the american taxpayer is the ongoing conflict in afghanistan there and first structure restoration is falling far behind schedule and costing much more than originally estimated jason did from antiwar dot com attributes this to corrupt authorities and poor planning of how the funds are spent. in afghanistan we've got the same problems we have and iraq but we also have the problems of government corruption being much worse throwing money at it with very little idea where it's going to go or if those programs are going to be successful is is just a recipe for that money being stolen or wasted or just disappearing
12:10 am
a lot of these programs that just sort of get added ad hoc to say the occupation in iraq or the occupation in afghanistan the administration will come up with something that they think is the reason why the war isn't going so well and they'll throw some money at that and very rarely do they ever consider if if that program is even needed or wanted so hundreds of millions of dollars go wasted. claymore stories are still ahead for you later this hour including and for us to getting a horrific discovery we delved deeper into the mystery of hundreds of fetuses recently found in barrels and brush and woods and ask if they're linked to illegal human experiments backdoor abortions or just normal research. and the ninth a day of protest in a row in california with demands for an investigation into police after a spate of shootings by officers in which two people died.

12:14 am
us and now we have a real fear we cannot continue like this anymore. the pizzeria is now closed after the last attack in early may mohammed explained to me how a group aged between eighteen and twenty five gathered outside the shop near closing time they broke windows and taunted the terrified staff telling them to go home a small explosive device was detonated which fortunately didn't cause any injuries but means the pizzeria is having to undergo an expensive refit. right wing violence on the streets of germany the country saw a rise in extremist violence after reunification in one thousand eight hundred nine followed by an economic slump in the east which caused people to look to the far right and the fascist campaign as a warning that due to europe's current financial predicament we could see a similar rise again our these are problematic today we have facing developments in

12:18 am
explains police have tried to down the car that they say was responsible for dumping these fetuses in the woods of fetuses were supposed to be incinerated because they are classified as class b. bio medical waste as all human tissue is and as such they should be incinerated but in this case because they were wet and soaked in formaldehyde the company decided well it would just be too difficult in this case and so they decided to dump it in the woods these fetuses were all between twenty two and twenty six weeks which is late term. term fetus and in russia it's illegal to have an abortion past this stage only in the case of a medical emergency so it doesn't answer the question as why all of these fetuses two hundred forty eight of them were passed this point early on in the investigation they were saying this could have been used for legal research or possibly for rejuvenation type experiments illegal stem cell research as well and then we even heard the possibility of illegal human cloning experiments that had
12:19 am
gone bad which is why they were dumped in the forest so that there was no trace of where they came from also again still the possibility of an illegal abortion operation happening in the area and trying to cover that up as well so still some more investigation needs to happen but we can put some of those more free theories to rest at this time you can follow the developments in the stream alex try on our web site where we have even more waiting for. three members of the female punk band accused of say tannic dances and moscow's tom point that angst confusion will save their arrest is intended to spread fear and prashant but not everyone agrees read more about the pussy riot case online. and also empty seats in london how members of the so-called lympics family feeling the heat but the organizers pulling security troops inside to fill the void find out more online at r.t. dot com. download the
