with fierce battles raging in the syrian civil conflict the u.s. is making suggestions as to how the country's future should be built without president assad. plus after two years of trying to told with julian assange interest we do and rejects an offer from ecuador to interview the wiki leaks editor inside its london embassy. and. the man who captured headlines last year leading russia's opposition movement is charged with embezzlement once again causing a stir amongst the. five

pm moscow time this is r.t. live with me rule research show welcome to the program the u.n. says it's observer mission in syria has come under attack in an opposition held area just outside the flashpoint city of homs officials have confirmed the convoy was hit by small arms fire although the civil standoff is continuing in syria foreign powers may be getting ahead of themselves about the outcome of this after the u.s. announced it's increasing its support for the rebels washington's now making suggestions as to what a post assad syria should look like pentagon chief leon panetta says that when the regime falls the country's military should remain in tact desired results on a boy who reports from damascus many syrians feel they are being left unprotected in the ongoing conflict. it doesn't take much to set. syrian's over these days on

average and on the 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 attempting 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 had similar difficulties to get their supplies no no no it's everything is just getting 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 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 it 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 that's the question of just how fast and how efficient that's reckoned 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. but there is really 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 don't 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 bashar i serve 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 was 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 and syria. and oksana is constantly updating her twitter feed with the latest developments inside syria you'll also find reactions and analysis of the events in and around the conflict torn country having a look here and one of the posts on a comments on leon panetta his most recent advice to president assad quote if you care about your family get the hell out of the country he says or sounds pretty much like the rebels motto give up or die. a little bit deeper into this now with with more calm and a professor of international relations or bill can university in turkey you're currently in oxford thanks for coming on our program today as you were listening to our report of the u.s. and turkey have discussed political transition in syria of course including the departure of president assad all the time though both states have previously said

it's up to the syrians to decide their own future really do you think so. then presumably the remaining. calls. between was the government rebel and then within the rebel groups who are competing who. were in. the damascus certainly certainly reverberations there was some flashbacks about of libya and certainly when libya and gadhafi was going down there are many different factions are fighting to get power there we all know that the the transitional process in libya hasn't exactly panned out as a nato powers had forecasted it would mark as we know key foreign powers recently agreed to a major conference to push all sides in the syrian conflict to engage in dialogue and now we're hearing off the u.s. extending support to the rebels and as you just heard from oksana leon panetta the

pentagon chief saying to us to get the hell out of town what do you make of that who do you believe in this story. well i do things and you don't the us government policy we see the assad regime. was of course and that's what he's trying to avoid is chaos so the u.s. and iran because he's also said that the army and the priest kerman in time the problem even more in syria than in iraq current approach is the army armed police is also current and what we're seeing is not just about who can be patron democrat . in the west but also a battle between some groups of society and even if president assad and his family left the country there are two million other whites two million christians who can easily be many of them around. more radical muslim groups who are receiving prayer room yet so when there are no let me as you say mark i'm sort of in trouble

as you say there are a lot of internal and deep sectarian issues here that i think a lot of the other parts of the world don't fully recognize or understand with this conflict now when it comes to the escalation of this conflict it's seventeen months long it's not dying down the syrian rebels now are foreign allies to provide heavy weapons is that cold likely to be heated or perhaps has it already. i think certainly we've seen antitank weapons coming into the country and more about what is obscene just for the name to say to students here's what happens if you do see a collapse of the current regime and perhaps you know we've seen in iraq creation of statements within the state we have an. independent kurdistan more than iraq. in syria the prime minister of turkey on the one hand is a very vigorous supporter of of the foreign regime but. like. but also saying he will not color right establishment of any kind of. independent and rule kurdish

and on the border with turkey. as for the governments of might want to and. so on and see what they want in one sense that it would have a sensory input on. all sorts of i would call a concert across the border than turkey into lebanon or into other parts not mark apart from that the long term broader perspective of what is going to be in syria and what the future holds are certainly we're getting reports here that officials and i have started closely monitoring the weather conditions in syria it's leading to speculation could they be preparing to launch an air strike is that wild speculation or perhaps you see any truth in that. well certainly. her intervention whether it was a major strike or. monetary and so on the board with the weather is a very. risky but also who. would

supply and i'm so. surprised by that but i have no information. or a very good more common professor of international relations a bill can university in turkey always a pleasure thanks for coming on the program today and. now we're coming to you live from the heart of moscow sweden has rejected over a quest to buy ecuador to interview julian assange on june the south american countries embassy in london and that's according to wiki leaks twitter feed the whistleblower has been holed up in the embassy for the past six weeks now or seeking asylum in ecuador as science wants to avoid being extradited to sweden over sex crime allegations and fears he will then be sent on to america let's get more on this now from our correspondent laura smith joining us live good to see you laura so swedish authorities for some time now have been eager to question a songe and yet all the while they fail to do so now they're invited to the ecuadorian embassy to carry out their questioning and still they say no what on earth are they playing at. well it's not clear at all rory according to this

twisted feeds they have rejected the invitation without any kind of meaningful explanation and i mean this is doesn't really come as a particular surprise ever since this case began almost two years ago now. has been offering for this we have to come to london and question him here and they've never done that so this is an ongoing thing i guess maybe what his legal team and indeed the ecuadorian diplomats felt could be different this time is that the invitation isn't coming from just us on himself it's coming from a state so he's got another state operating on his behalf so it's almost like it's on equal terms but possibly the reason that they projected the quest request is that they have the swedish authorities really backed themselves into a corner it's been that long now that they've been saying we want you to come to sweden that they can now they call it now back down and say ok we'll come to london off drawl into the interview but also it really begs the question does the swedish

prosecutor really want to get to the bottom of this case it certainly looks as if she doesn't and if not then of course. meanwhile diplomats have been working on julian assange as his behalf and seeking assurances from the u.k. sweden and the us that he will be extradited to america if he does go to sweden they've received no response on that they've also been trying to get the u.s. to either confirm or deny that legal proceedings grand jury having been been subpoenaed in the u.s. again no response from america. and as you say has been holed up now in the in the ecuadorian embassy here in london for nearly seven weeks he fled citing human rights violations to avoid extradition to sweden on these allegations but no charges of sexual offenses and he's under quite trying circumstances it's very cramped in there it's only a small embassy is no outside space

a tall. of course the piece step outside the embassy he's liable to be arrested by the british police there's hardly any fresh air at all he does have exercise equipment in there apparently and he is spending most of his time working but his mother has been quit all this week to plead her case and she says she's extremely worried about the state of his health she says he's under extreme stress in the ecuadorian embassy and he's been around a long time extreme stress for the last two years while the this case is being going on and he's really living in conditions similar to detention certainly lower it's a bit bizarre certainly to some that here we have the swedish prosecutors rejecting a chance to come to the ecuadorian embassy in london and have one on one face to face interview a big question going on with julian assange they're being invited and yet they say you know this might make some people say well perhaps we doesn't take these sex crime allegations very seriously we'll just have to see how this pans out live in london our correspondent laura smith thank you very much. i also had for you this

hour here on r.t. a shocking discovery in a russian with new evidence is on the failed in a gut wrenching story about barrels with human fetuses found in central russia. plus more arrests and how. california has riot police watch over a mob of protesters still fuming after police shot and killed two suspects earlier this month. russian anticorruption campaign an opposition blogger. has been charged with embezzlement he came to the public's eye when he led mass antigovernment protests in moscow this past winter and charges against him have caused a storm in russian society our teacher groups are standing by to give us more details on this now so jacob what exactly is in the valley accused of and to date what's been the reaction to this case. probably known as an anti corruption

blogger in russia this crime actually dates back to way before and this hasn't always been the case indeed the charges of embezzlement day back to two thousand and nine this is when he said to have advised the local regional office or t s a said she resigned over a contract that said to have gone sour costing the authorities around five hundred thousand dollars now it's being alleged that he may have profited from this situation is a case that has been brought against him before indeed by regional prosecutors there was later dropped now when it comes to stories you might imagine is really alleged to get a lot of interest or lost support on the russian blogosphere is something that's had its allies essentially with some of the supporters saying it's a result of a back and forth arguing we've seen between the valley and that of russia's chief investigator alexander busts through can recently never accused of being involved in having illegal assets in the czech republic when it comes to himself he's

internationally known as the figurehead the poster child of the protest movement that we see taking place in the back of disputed parliamentary elections back in december wrought with allegations electoral fraud has really been depicted by them to front this movement ever since indeed in the lead up to vladimir putin's inauguration as president as such in a valley and others have said this is a politically motivated charge a tent to me his name due to bear in mind here though that the charges predate he's a poster child status when it comes to the opposition movement is a criminal investigation into economic charges if found guilty if convicted he could face fifty five and ten years in prison or of course one hundred grooves in central moscow thank you. well of course you can always find out much more on our website on t. dot com also some of other stories are lined up for you right now for example unappreciated joke. punk group is on trial accused of satanic dunces offer

life hell for people who came to this country to set up businesses mohammed came to this town in the east of germany from pakistan to open a pizzeria and those working for him suffered abuse and attacks would be hands of local views on bible is over every time we called the police and the police came every time we called them but until now they haven't found anyone they threaten to kill us and now we have a real fear that 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 and.

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 juju europe's current financial predicament we could see a similar rise again i would these are popular models today we have basic developments in the old part of the germany a lack of jobs leads to helplessness and despair which are the men 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 go education is in that part of this problem the need citing as a how to pay more attention to it that 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'll be in and be opposed to any organization carrying out violent attacks and to 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 not the kabab center who is your enemy but rather the politicians who are at the wheel of the country and whether those words wimps 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 window. nine days even germany's robust economy starts to really feel the pinch of the eurozone crisis there are concerns that we could see a growing and social problems in the country areas. between all

of the. general. meanwhile over in the united states a weak economy has thousands struggling through foreclosures that are today on our team max kaiser looks at the wall street's essential role in what everyone is calling other countries ongoing mortgage crisis. after seizing the more good condemning it seizing at the city then they claim will pay a fair market value to the owner of the mortgage which in the most cases is the securitization trust which were already these are all filled with fraud already so they're going to seize these hard to let. the so past the cherokee ask any of these tribes are still waiting for the land that the us government promised one hundred fifty years ago we got it through you we'll go call mother they probably gave it to him now it's completely destroyed you know that they're not going to make good on the other stuff they're just already getting the last bit of the carrots they possibly can out of the pockets. out of the couches sitting behind the course of

these people's houses of god doesn't know what a vacuum cleaner trying to suck up that last nickel i was asked to go. in and. just a couple of minutes until dimitri with the business finale threw a new chilling twist in a scandal surrounding a horrific discovery in a russian far east where hundreds of human fetuses were found just last week police say they've been dumped there by a medical academy which is openly admitted to having made regular disposals still it's unclear where the state institution got the fetuses and what it was using them for. shawn thomas shed some light police have tracked 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 from outside 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 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 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 free theories to rest at this time. and correspondent sean thomas reporting several

protesters and anaheim california were arrested outside a city council meeting monday as they rallied for a ninth straight day they're demanding the state's top attorney investigate the city's police force officer five people so far this year including two they shot in just earlier this month many of their targets were on a community organizer wrong god just believes the actions of the police are a result of racial profiling. the people are tired this is not something this is not one one case this is really a systematic problem that's been happening for generations in anaheim in a city where more than half of the population there is latino fifty three percent of the population is that you know they don't have any political representation and they feel that the police department really use you know racial profiling every challenge against them so that's why we saw the community i mean mothers you know with strollers all kinds of people from the community coming out these aren't even activists they're just people who are completely fed up with the treatment they receive from the police and in response we now see the famous video where the

police you know sic dogs on people they shot them with rubber bullets these are women and children who were not activists they weren't anarchists they want people trying to cause problems they were simply just denouncing the brutality that the police use against their people in their community just outside of the doors it is in that you know the people do not think it's the happiest place on earth there's a lot of violence against people in anaheim and there needs to be caught out so i think that's what some of the organizations decided to do go to disneyland this expose everyone to the realities of anaheim. from the top to the major you go for the business update so dimitri apple has been dubbed a dictatorship for its i phone prices do tell us more well the top model phone operator here in russia has a price tag of one thousand dollars has been forced on that on that phone to be sold in russia and other strict conditions to now with the vice president. said being arrogant with your partners in big markets does not pay off now experts say
