a week ago parties oksana boyko now reports the does is slowly settling in the capital. it doesn't take much to set syrians off these days on ash and on a very tight budget residents of damascus are now trying to reclaim the basics they used to take for granted. the 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 a pro-government and your attempting to distribute fuel at prewar prices it found itself overwhelmed by the demand because of all of these. special circumstances that happened lately people maybe get more nervous of course people had similar difficulties to get their supplies no no no it's everything is getting
3:03 am
better life is slowly returning to the capital as are the thousands of people who fled the turmoil there in the past weeks but what they find in the 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 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 but it is for democracy for stability and no matter who emerges the winner syrians have already lost the government has promised to help the rebuilding of the scale of destruction and the already flagging economy that's the question of just how fast and how efficient that's reckoned struction will be meanwhile some are already starting to lose

3:05 am
was fine but now it's only getting worse. the army and the rebels claim they're fighting for a better life but the majority of civilians trapped in between each other at the thought of how much worse it's going to get before it gets any better it's on the boy who are reporting from damascus and syria russia's foreign ministry has accused some media outlets of helping the syrian rebels to achieve their goals political analyst dr ostroff by yumi says it's a well planned manipulation tactic. it's part of the psychological warfare that the newspapers in washington and new york times washington post is filled with reports and comments urging the rebels. to be ready to govern and the warden. for example to use chemical. war. facility is. to respect the minorities
3:06 am
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 is something moscow is trying to prevent when it comes to the situation in syria r.t. caught up with russia's human rights envoy constantine al gore who says a healthy political process is possible only when changes come from within here's a preview of what's to come next hour. it is definitely different when. certain transformations certain political changes being pushed from the. then it's a different picture and. we keep reiterating
3:07 am
it's not only russians view that you cannot bring about democracy from the old say democracy used to become the result. of certain internal processes. u.s. defense secretary leon panetta is already making plans for when syria's president assad is alstad from power he says it's crucial for stability after regime change to keep the country's military intact and not repeat the mistakes america made after invading iraq there in the army was disbanded by the u.s. led forces setting loose tens of thousands of militants and now a fresh report says that over two hundred million dollars. to train iraqi police have gone to waste the u.s. is preparing to send hundreds of its own police across the world to help locals
3:08 am
handle security trying glazer from antiwar dot com believes the plan is more about control and enrichment plant regional stability fund all these 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 . washington wasn't happy about it they're going to try and keep it as big as possible and as simple when she was 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 six times more than china the next so so much of what we do is
3:09 am
wasteful but it puts money in the pockets of really rich military industrial complex. organizations and corporations. afghanistan is another drain for american taxpayers' money their infrastructure restoration is falling far behind schedule and costing much more than originally estimated massa dissertations from the local security forces of the us is trying to train are hurting efforts to maintain stability analysts jason ditz attributes this to corrupt authorities and poorly planned spending. 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
3:10 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 is going so well and they'll throw some money at that and very rarely do they ever consider it if that program is even needed or wanted so hundreds of millions of dollars go wasted. playing war stories still ahead for you this hour including investigating a horrific discovery. we delved deeper into the mystery of hundreds of fetuses recently found in barrels in the russian woods and i ask if they're linked to illegal human experiments backdoor abortions or just normal research. find a ninth day in a row a protest in california with demands for an investigation into police after a spate of shootings by officers and which two people died.
3:11 am

3:19 am
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 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 has 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 theories to rest at this time. you can follow the developments in this dramatic story on our website where we have even more lined up for you a joke for people with a good sense of humor while that's how the female punk band accused of say tannic dances after a strong performance in moscow's top orthodox church describe their action to a trial court in the city but not everyone agrees bring more on the pussy riot case online. plus a work literally of this political proportions find out how
