commercial hub after regime troops flushed out rebels from damascus over a week ago march is oksana boyko reports the dust is now slowly settling in the capital. it doesn't take much to set syrians off these days on average 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 a pro-government and your attempted to distribute fuel at prewar prices it found itself overwhelmed by the demand because all of these. special circumstances that happened lately people maybe get more nervous of course people
5:03 am
had similar difficulties to get their supplies. everything is getting 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 the neighborhoods is unlikely to instill much confidence in either of the warring parties the damage inflicted by the clashes to the syrian infrastructure has already asked to made it at the eleven billion dollars and still counting that's almost seventy percent of the country's annual budget you can argue about who's 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 and no matter who emerges the winner syrians have already lost the government has promised to help with rebuilding but the scale of destruction and the already flagging economy that's the question of just how fast and how efficient
5:04 am
that's record 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 gover. but now his loyalties are uncertain because 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 either i 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 sympathizers deserve such a death star wars for a fifteen year old who hasn't finished high school yet. 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 fire while the old struggle to find cover.
5:05 am
their only goal is to drag syria into chaos everything was fine now it's only 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 than the boycott artsy reporting from damascus in syria precious foreign ministry has accused some media outlets of helping the syrian rebels to achieve their goals political analyst after. me 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 commons urging the rebels tools to be ready to govern and the warden. for example to use chemical. war.
5:06 am
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 the fall. these are part of the psychological warfare. foreign intervention is something moscow is trying to prevent want to come see the situation in syria r.t. caught up with russia's human rights envoy constantine doll golf who says a healthy political process is possible only when changes come from within here's a preview of what's to come in the next hour. give you definitely different. when. certain drugs are certain political jews being pushed from.
5:07 am
then it's a different picture and. we keep reiterating that it's not only russia's view. you cannot bring your democracy from. 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 ousted from power he said it's crucial for stability after regime change. keep the country's military intact and not repeat the mistakes america made after invading iraq there the army was disbanded by the us led forces setting loose tens of thousands of military and now a fresh report says that over two hundred million dollars spent in washington to train iraqi police have gone to waste the u.s.
5:08 am
is preparing to send hundreds of its own police across the world to help locals handle security can glazer from antiwar dot com believes the plan is more about control and richmond regional stability but normally is this 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 is 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
5:09 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. 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 the us is training local forces but mass desertions from the ranks 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 the interact 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
5:10 am
a recipe for that money being stolen or wasted or just disappearing 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 that program is even needed or wanted so hundreds of millions of dollars go wasted. plenty more stories are still ahead fail later this hour including investigating a horrific discovery. party delves deeper into the mystery of hundreds of fetuses recently found in barrels in the russian woods we ask if they're going to illegal human experiments backdoor abortions or just we're talking the research. and the ninety day in a row of protest in california with demands for an investigation into police after a spate of shootings officers in which two people died.
5:11 am
if they shoot something inappropriate for the public they can easily be going to. have to use a warning ok. i wish you would have never happened but it has happened. in a war a t.v. camera becomes an unnecessary witness to their own safety all foreign nationals including journalists and inspectors should leave room. and the spear what happens with such witnesses i got it was like. we've. mercy. on our.

5:15 am
a warning that due to europe's current financial predicament we could see a similar rise again i would these are popular models today we have facing developments in the old part of the germany a lack of jobs leads to helplessness and despair which are the main ingredients the trend is young handsome flour right ideology. there is a belief among activists down the issue of right wing extremism is being ignored by large numbers of the german people. education is in that part of this problem the need citing as a how to pay more attention to it. then there needs to be more options for cultural integration especially for young people germany's far right national democratic party or in p d that faced calls for them to be banned from politics the n.p.t. say that they are vehemently opposed to any organization carrying out violent attacks and are working with young people to try and educate them i mean don't loiter our message to young people who come to our seminars and that is that it's
5:16 am
not the kabab center who is your enemy but rather the politicians who are at the wheel of the country however those words won't reopen mahomet's pizzeria is isn't the only business in this town to face this type of attack but. i came here seven years ago from vietnam and i've been targeted twice he was throwing rocks through my windows. as even germany's robust economy starts to really feel the pinch of the eurozone crisis there are concerns that he could say the riots and social problems in the country areas. be too all over. jenny. over in the u.s. it seems more people are losing their homes struggling in a difficult economy coming up at eleven thirty g.m.t. max kaiser looks at the country's mortgage crisis and wall street's role in it. so after seizing the mortgage condemning it and seizing it the city then they claim

5:18 am
a criminal investigation in the scandal employees of the ural state medical academy say such disposal was regular but a truckload of bio material thrown away in the woods in may artist sean thomas who's been following the shocking discovery explains. police have tracked down the car that they say was responsible for dumping these fetuses in the woods a fetus is 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 a late 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
5:19 am
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 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 theories to rest at this time. you can follow all the developments in this dramatic story on our website where we have even more lined up for. a joke for people with a good sense of humor that's what the female punk band accused of santana dances an interest stunt and moscow's top orthodox church called their actions at their trial in the city not everyone agrees we keep an eye on the story. plus a work literally of biblical proportions find out how
