the country's future should be built without. years of trying to. reject it without explanation. with.

a very warm welcome to you from all of us here at r.t. moscow. the observer mission in syria has come under attack in an opposition held area just outside the city of homs officials have confirmed their 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 after the u.s. announced it's increasing its support for the rebels washington is now making suggestions as to what post assad syria should look like. when the regime falls the country's military should. report from damascus many syrians feel they are being left unprotected in the heart of the ongoing conflict. 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 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 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 lately people maybe get more nervous of course people had similar difficulties to get their supplies no no 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 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 eleven 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 but the scale of destruction and the already flagging economy begs the question of just how fast and how efficient that's reckoned struction will be meanwhile some already starting to lose patience muhammad 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 either

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 sympathy. there is deserves such a death star wars for a fifteen year old who hasn't finished high school yet. although we want to finish . 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. 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 boy

who are reporting from damascus in syria and are constantly updating our twitter feed with the latest developments inside syria where you'll also find our reactions and analysis of the events in and around the conflict torn country and one of our latest post comments on leon panetta his most recent advice to president assad quote here we are if you care about your family get the hell out of the country she says it sounds pretty much like the rebels motto that of give up or die. well mark almond a professor of international relations a bill can university in turkey believes the u.s. push for regime change in syria may produce even more disorder and violence in the country. what of course and that's what he's trying to avoid is. because he's also said that the army and the priest kerman in time. even more in syria than in iraq are about to approach is the army or police it's also current

and what we're seeing is not just about who can. come across people who are in the works but also a battle between some groups of society and even a programmer side and his family left the country there are two million other whites two million christians in counties. many of them around. more radical muslim groups who are increasingly in a room. and it's always a plenty more about at our website r.t. dot com including an official of british forces in syria i thought photographer captured for a week says english born jihad it's a fighting against the assad regime. now sweden has rejected it without explanation a request by ecuador to interview julian assange in the south american countries embassy in london this all or according to wiki leaks twitter feed the whistleblowers been holed up in the embassy for the past six weeks seeking asylum

in ecuador assigns wants to avoid being extradited to sweden of a sex crime allegations and fears he'll then be sent to america with more from london laura smith. 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 has been offering for this week 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 novice state so he's got another state operating on his behalf so it's almost like it's on equal terms 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 u.s. that he won't 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 are a grand jury having been been subpoenaed in the u.s. again no response from america. has been holed up now in the in the ecuadorian embassy her knowledge of that 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 at all and of course if he does step outside the embassy he's liable to be arrested by the british police 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 under long term extreme stress for the last two years while these this case has been going on and he's really living in conditions similar to detention. laura smith reporting right there well still ahead on the program a shocking discovery in russia. and u.s. but in tucson very old in the gut wrenching story about human fetuses found in central russia. plus more arrests as riot police watch over protesters still fuming after police shot and killed two suspects just earlier this month. ten minutes past the hour moscow time russian anticorruption campaign opposition alexina valmy has been charged with embezzlement he came to the public's eye when he led mass anti-government protests

in moscow this past winter and charges against him of course a storm in russian society let's get the latest on this now from our. live here on the program what exactly has been accused of and do we know what kind of reaction so far. sure for many and someone known as a pro and anti corruption blogger in russia but that hasn't always been the case now the embezzlement charges against him actually date back to two thousand and nine this is where he said to advise local authorities on business deals one contractor in particular went sour said of course i started about five hundred thousand dollars and now it's being alleged that he may have profited from these circumstances now as you might imagine when it comes to stories really said the russian globe's fear in particular and of the international circuit as a light because there's a lot of speculation surrounding this man is someone who's been recently from

relative obscurity quite recently has been champions read the poster boy when it comes this protest movement the opposition movement the white ribbon movement and this is back dating back to the parliamentary elections role of allegations of electoral fraud in december and ever since then we've really seen him depicted tickly internationally from the podium as the leader of this so-called pro-democracy movement he's actually stood against vladimir putin in particular some of his rhetoric that's why in the moments we're seeing a lot of speculation as to this being politically motivated as it being tend to release me his name indeed those are the words of alexei nobel me himself we have to bear in mind that the accusations the allegations against him dates back to before he really rose the famous is still a criminal investigation this teeny with an alleged economic crimes against him in this sense to really bear some similarities to another case it's currently ongoing a courtroom actually just behind me the trial of pussy riot three defendants who

back in favorite took part in a so-called punk prayer curses in christ save a cathedral and it really offended many of the faithful of the russian orthodox church ever since there we've seen these three individuals championed by international media by. in session he writes organizations and indeed by international musicians as pro democracy and that's really what overshadowed the criminal proceedings were seen taking place and still an undecided case here. in moscow thank you. for another u.s. is preparing to send hundreds of military police across the world to help local authorities handle security when needed special units have already been created by the country's marine corps and the move comes after a recent report claimed that washington's multi-million dollar effort to train local police in iraq has been a complete failure john glaser from antiwar dot com believes the u.s. will do everything in its power to main its to maintain its influence in various

regions. normally 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 . washington was unhappy about it they're going to try and keep it as big as possible and as simple 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 six times more than china the next up so so much of what we do is waste for but it puts money in the pockets of really rich military industrial complex.

organizations and corporations. this is you can always find a lot more on our website. for example. has become more familiar with. the stories available. it is a quarter past the hour here in the russian capital europe's financial crisis is

showing that even the strongest economies are not immune to struggles as desperation spreads in germany fears are growing that there could be a wave of attacks by far right groups on immigrants blaming for their unemployment reports. this sleepy town in saxony seems i however even here right wing extremists have made 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 he and those working for him suffered abuse and attacks the people hands of local views on police 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. 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 jus to europe's current financial predicament we could see a similar rise again i would these are popular model 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 that 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. 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 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 won't reopen mahomet's pizzeria is isn't the only business in this town to face this type of attack. and i came here seven years

ago from vietnam and i've been targeted twice he used throwing rocks through my window years night has 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 us. meanwhile over in the usa we can call on me has thousands struggling through foreclosures next hour here on our team max keiser looks at wall street's role in the country's ongoing mortgage crisis. after seizing the mortgage 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 soon pass 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 through to you we'll go call mother they probably give 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 giving the last bit of the cow. they possibly can out of the pockets of the couches sitting behind the course of these people's houses you've got wall street small doesn't know the vacuum cleaner trying to suck up that last nickel i was asked to go. on the cars report is about an hour and ten minutes from now and you chilling twist in a scandal surrounding a horrific discovery in a russian forest where hundreds of human fetuses were found last week police say they've been dumped there by a medical academy which has openly admitted to having made regular disposals still it's clear where the state institution got the fetuses and what it was actually using them for sean thomas has been following the story 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 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. our correspondent sean thomas right there let's get into the world update as promised we'll start with iraq where a twin car bomb blasts of killed at least twelve people bringing the death toll from terror attacks in july over two hundred and seventy the interior ministry says the explosions were carried out by suicide bombers near the police headquarters in baghdad and this follows a series of blasts in the country making this summer the bloodiest period since u.s. troops left iraq. the second power outage in as many days and india has left more than six hundred million people over half of the country without electricity blackout has left over one hundred fifty coal miners trapped underground after rescue operations earlier pulled out forty six of them india

frequently suffers power shortages resulting from its inability to meet the nation's rapidly growing demand for energy and. u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton kicks off an african tour with the first stop in senegal topping the agenda are discussions on security concerns and the value of democracy in the region as well as china's growing influence in the continent u.s. officials say clinton will warn african leaders about the potential perils of chinese investment. now several protesters in california were arrested outside a city council meeting monday as they rallied for a ninth straight day now they are demanding the state's top attorney investigate the city's police force officer fired at eight people so far this year including two they shot and killed earlier this month. the target. community organizer wrong 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 latino 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 you saw the community i mean mothers well you know what strollers all kinds of people from the community coming out these are even activists or 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 sick 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 poor people in anaheim and there needs to be called out

so i think that's where some of the organizations decided to do go to disneyland this expose everyone to the realities of anaheim. as promised to me true with the only business update to me to understand the russians had an unexpected snag just ahead of we're joining the world trade organization next month that's right the full expression is right around the corner but apparently russia lacks these civil servants to protect and defend its rights within the trade body of these tests. towards accession to the world trade organization. a long and arduous to say the least eighteen years in the making. to prepare for when that time finally comes but now that it had almost gotten there it's still finds itself well equipped for the changes that this will bring for starters they still need about three hundred civil servants and several hundred to several thousand. lawyers and economists.

mainly to be able to defend. now to fill the shortage find itself having to hire foreign specialists and if it wants to train its own it will take another two years and some nine million euros twenty to thirty thousand euros for each specialist that it wants to train abroad have to be. crucial for russia are already voices from. specially regarding industries that have long enjoyed protectionist measures from the russian state. that. has every right to impose penalties on russia. duties will certainly be costly for russia now some russian officials say the problem goes all the way back to the education system and others also say that it will be very hard to convince very educated russia. to become a civil servants of. the country after eighteen years again of

preparation their only choice is to cram in order to fill that shortage that they have right now. all right record food prices are just bad news for shoppers central banks are also expected to lift interest rates to curb inflation droughts in a major food exporters like the united states have slashed harvests russia's two thousand and twelve inflation target of six percent is now called mission impossible by h.s.b.c. bank which is and the countries to hike the rates by the end of the year prime minister dmitry medvedev is meeting farmers today to discuss a. trial that's now moved to the markets and we've seen a bit of a blizzard actually coming in the stock markets at least the euro continues to strengthen versus the dollar this hour whereas the ruble is pretty much unchanged since when we last looked at it last hour and mixed against the basket of currencies right over on the russian market things are getting pretty gruesome with the myself now falling one point seven percent the r.t.s.

one point six percent it's not only a selloff but also comments made by the german the finance ministers reported to say that it's reluctant to provide a banking license to the european stability mechanism services and we need not really welcoming this kind of attitude let's take a look at what's happening in the united states where consumer spending has declined in the past month and therefore we're seeing a bit of a chill on the dow jones but wages on the other hand have increased on the nasdaq facebook is dropping three to three and a half percent and we'll look at that story in just a second over in a europe after those comments from the german finance ministry the dax has descended into the red for these down point four percent and b.p. is losing more than three percent after saying that its profits declined ninety six percent as it rose of assets including u.s. shale deposits. now plummet in italy has hit
