part of the whistleblowers a silent place. hello and welcome. kevin owen it's now nine pm here in moscow kofi annan is standing down from his role as syria's envoy blaming finger pointing and name calling at the u.n. security council and been the key figure in the international hopes to negotiate a diplomatic solution to the crisis in the stricken country live now to new york's got some thoughts from there a correspondent has been gleaning that to see how high how there's an unexplained his decision to resign. kevin in fact u.n. arab league special envoy to syria coffee and on is resigning officially this decision will take place and come into effect at the end of the month on august thirty first when his mandate expires we have to remember that back in march bonn

ki-moon kofi annan successor at the post of the united nations security secretary general had summoned the nobel peace prize laureates to take place and start participating in the conflict as a key mediator in the syrian conflict and some of course had dubbed this position the entire time a diplomatic mission impossible because of the complications of the conflicting positions of the members of the united nations security council as well as the intricacies and the difficulty of the conflict on the ground take a listen to what anon said to us of students association the increasing militarization on the ground and the clear lack of unity in the security council have fundamentally changed the circumstances for the effective exercise of my rule to turn when we need when the syrian people disparate lead need action

there continues to be finger pointing and name calling in the security council. well this is of course has been one of the main complications of trying to find a solution to the syrian conflict where the western powers have been have been calling for assad to step down and pressure him to do so and russia and china would not agree with this kind of way of dealing with a conflict and kofi annan has also said that he believes the power some country countries that promise to apply more pressure to the conflicting sides on the ground to put down their arms and to get rid of their weapons have not been keeping their word to us is to crucially we're to leave the peace process for syria as we're talking to them. well kevin what we have on the table right now is kofi annan is leaving behind his six point peace plan a plan that some had called unrealistic because it did include the it left out the

position of assad it left his position open calling for both sides of the conflict to create a transitional government and decide between themselves exactly whom such a government would consist of and this is of course not yet materialized so we're going to be seeing who the next successor is going to who is going to take place as the key mediator in the syrian conflict we know that bonn ki-moon right now is in talks with the arab league to make this decision to figure out who the best person to carry out the job would be and whether or not this person is going to have more luck and success is that remains a big question and whether or not this peace plan will be scrapped altogether and a new plan put in place remains to be seen we do know also that the united nations general assembly will be holding talks throughout the hours and days to comment so we're waiting to see whether or not some sort of decision or some new developments will be taking place towards the end of the week or i phones for some about you for more coming through the course of the evening first give some more reaction as well know a joy to me. from the syrian social club in london which campaigns for peaceful reform

in syria he's joining me on the line now via skype his coach up with him hi there. good to see you. within the past few minutes just coming through. talking about. it shows the failure of russia and china to work to the u.n. security council isn't the fingerpointing continuing therefore if you actually need the russia and china or all of them or have been trying for the past few months to keep these groups are in the security guards who. we know that the last time around when they. were in the security weeks ago they were thinking about. when using your. mum's. number listen there are other the other park has been talking and trying to do with the matter outside of the security council trying to turn china's world actually ok so let's look at the bare

facts is this departure a sign that diplomacy cannot solve syria now at this stage. i think since you know diplomacy could always do so the problem we have heard since day one it was adopted back in march by this year or so with. some time. publicly saying that they will continue to. distance. on the ground and the. peace. terms of success i want for the. international community as a whole including russia and china and the west countries and you don't complain if they realize that no one is going to be to her out of this vacuum and it's going to result in the construction or syria or more. then probably there might be a chance for some sort of diplomacy that could work. she said international powers

have failed to put enough pressure on the warring sides which countries is he referring to that you think. well i think he's referring i would say that he's occurring more to the to the countries who pledged problem to arm the opposition rather of china putting pressure on the syrian government and china said well those who can go and talk to them are actually listening and doing things on the ground. where there is international we do can we assume resignation within the international norm and skiing that irony is going on in the world when you could go back couple of weeks to what happened with the security council the western powers to push the resolution with. two words threatening syrian person if they do not if he doesn't want to if you are merely. using them

that was vetoed by russia and china and a sort of a compromise was reached by. extending with mission of the unit service for thirteen days you know if we didn't win the seat on the piece. the adam brickley people then there might not be and so we were way out on a compromise we our security council in one of the parties that might push to even the outer disputes in the city council we've got another comment to work from. kofi annan saying it's important for me and for anybody else to convince the government of the opposition to take necessary steps to political process but it kind of begs the question kofi annan a hugely respected hugely influential and experienced diplomat yet he couldn't effectively exercise his role despite his best efforts one of the chances that his successor can do any better i don't think you could because cokie. he went.

but he was hoping probably too poor. parkington control. the same and same things. but apparently. only rejections we heard something like but we're not going to have any dialogue with the knobs on their hand when the need to move out of the ship. i don't think the success or our client. would be able to do as long as those people who control these are. neither willing nor capable per probably to do a final quick thought for me if you would know that this man is quitting what future do you envisage for syria would you think it's going to go personally i

think person. who takes all situation. and who's going to be the winner. i don't know it is very complex it's very complicated it's a sort of third world war that we are learning at the moment and so how can we seriously it has got nothing to do with syria anymore it is about. regional and international players to have their way in order their own interests. ok let me put it another way do you think assad will still be there in six months time in. thanks for your thoughts on a work of member of the syrian social club preceded. before or not announced he was quitting it emerged that u.s. president barack obama apparently authorized covert support for the syrian rebels to help them out as president assad reports of a secret order allowing the cia and other agencies to give backing follow washington's warning that the current fighting in syria will be a nail in assad's coffin the syria issue came into focus too in

a meeting between president putin and the prime minister of washington's closest ally great britain laura smith followed that side of the story today and the talks in london. it was quite important that this came to light about obama having signed this order to authorize secret kind of cia and agency support for the rebels who are trying to oust president assad in syria but that came to light just before the meeting between police and cameron it went to that meeting and easy tool of course what obama's represents is foreign intervention in syria and it is taking sides in syria and those are two things that president putin as we know it's very opposed to of course the u.k. and russia really represents the polar opposite in the two sides of this argument the u.k. represents a sort of much as the u.s. does move towards the u.n. security council resolutions taking sides against president assad's trying to force

president assad to step down whereas on the on the completely other side of the equation russia represents a drive towards diplomacy and a not taking of sides in this in this issue and of course this is not the only issue opponent which russia all poles apart but it is certainly the most important issue at the moment and we understand in fact that it's two other issues that british relations have had in the past this is now bring economic relations with the two between the two countries which might go some way towards solving the problem because as we all know money talks in a way that politics potentially doesn't and of course with these opposing views it is a worry that diplomacy as a part of solving the syria conflict may be slowly dying as this process takes place and to work this american strategy. towards diplomacy. well the united states military and intelligence services are as we know

now from the u.s. government admission coordinating through turkey through a u.s. military airbase these are all you know turkey is a nato country the military operations for this so-called free syrian army these syrian so-called revolutionaries and it's clear now that this is not a shift in terms of u.s. strategy it doesn't represent any kind of alteration all that it does is reveal that the diplomacy of this so-called diplomacy the so-called looking for a negotiated settlement is a fraud that the diplomacy is in fact a form of perjury that the reality is that the u.s. government the obama administration with the pentagon and the cia i have been neck deep coordinating the military operations to overthrow a sovereign government in syria. if you believe check it out as well if you think the council of allies think again on our website take a close look at this picture from an austrian newspaper

a man that's compared it to the original report on the european media's digital deception in the syrian conflict. know what so often ignored by leading foreign media when it comes to covering the syrian conflict to the brutal tactics employed by some armed rebel groups to video surfaced revealing the other side of the syrian conflict the footage and i was seeing on your screens reports to show the cold blooded execution of assad supporters said rebels several men stripped to some of their clothes were bleeding and seemed to be forced to kneel in front of gunman. opened fire goodness puppy asked about his own research into the images and says with incidents like this there is no end in sight thanks to the syrian crisis. i received this video as well from a source in arabica then i asked for a translation this it was a very planned this is a very important plan in the us and all it will and some of them there were executed in cold blood this is what this two. minute video shows in fact this is an

extended when they have like twenty thousand brothers sisters the extended family clan tribe you know so this means that all these people each stand of being recruited to the opposition now they will be fighting the opposition because they are being executed in cold lot and this explains among other things why christians all over syria now are taking up arms to defend themselves go because they know that if there is a false assad called by sunni hard core elements of the including salafi jihad just this is what's going to happen they're going to be only protected minorities and at the moment they are protected minority to some of the assad government. the syrian conflicts left hundreds of thousands of people displaced many heading for shelter across the borders into neighboring countries result is read from national reports next even in the refugee camps politics overshadows basic human values. a conflict of contrast and contradictions freedom fighters with guns in their hands

and that kind of support call for jihad those claiming to want to stop the violence in the country continue providing the warring sides with more weapons and now a supposedly peaceful humanitarian mission is being used as a breeding ground for hatred and division. plane refugees may have felt they've escaped the war but it seems the conflict has other plans for them the village of muslims out in the northern lebanon is known for being strongly opposed to both its home government understeering regime seen for much tension for years especially after the death in custody of a local man accused of being part of al qaida today it's home to many islamic organizations and many are still believed to have ties with a terrorist organization situated right on the syria lebanon border the border is over there it's where many syrians fleeing the cares at home had for comparatively safe haven one which provides shelter for some but by no means all. a group of

islamic n.g.o.s is called in eighteen the humanitarian mission here their mercy carries a subtle message the boxes bear would look to the swords of the muslim brotherhood for the you have full and here's what has to be enough the market for one family i know those here is rice crops. dry milk. the man in charge is a selfie a radical sunni group has hearing to fundamentalist islam and not tolerating moderate forms of the religion she colleague says anyone is welcome to relieve just so long as they share in his one sided beliefs. we will not accept anybody who supports such a criminal or e.g. maybe i will try to talk to them but convince them not to be on the bad side if they accept was there more than welcome if not under last until even. the. no surprise therefore we didn't find

a single assad supporter here newly arrived refugees most of whom are families with small children sleep on classroom floors and a giving just basic ration but empty stomachs are only helping to nourish and sentiments eloquent in the middle additional help but i would join the free syrian army if only i had a chance but they don't need me if i'm not in the military and if i have an opportunity to kill saddam with my bare hands i won't hesitate you know. what's on the surface look like helpless refugees in an instant can turn into ardent revolutionaries well i wish i'm with the free syrian army to fight against assad no matter what will get him i will not accept him to leave the country will see cutthroats and all terrible things and when we finish with him we'll go and take those and back in his regime we all know them very well first sobs wife has problems like me i wish the kids i chopped into tiny pieces. these people at their

most desperate are given the helping hand that they need and it's one that will always be there although we strings attached as long as people are happy to tell you the n.t.'s sideline they will be ready call groups happy to feed them it's not only guns that are powerful in this war gratian optionality from northern lebanon more updates the situation in syria available of course marty on twitter as well we'll bring you the first time experience all our crew on the ground as well as reaction analysis on the latest sometimes just images that are taking on a school called. other news today julie sanchez mother's medical dollars later as his son pleads for

asylum president correia said the decision won't be influenced by pressure from any other country christina sanch talked to r.t. as well during a visit telling us that u.s. politicians are still gunning for revenge over wiki leaks some even calling for his son's execution the full interview is only next here's a little taste of what to expect. from the beginning. from the us from politicians and from. the news coming out heads it's what they were screaming out his mood out in the most brutal way this him to be no filter at all on how they were feeling. calling out for the brutal force of murder inciting mood against my son and still in the last few weeks. there's been a fox who says his integrity because fox news cool k.t. mcfarland who was screaming at killing six occasion this is somebody who is not right in the world and has done nothing more than any good investigative journalist

would do which is to be interested in what is one theory when it was full. the whistleblowers been holed up in ecuador's embassy in london now for six weeks the decision of just on the requests is now expected to be made public in about ten days he's wanted in sweden of course of the sex crime allegations but believes that just a pretext to hand him over the u.s. to face trial over those massive leaks of secret files i spoke to scott horton he's from opposite magazine he told me even if he gets asylum though he will be out of the woods so. to me it's hard to understand how the ecuadorians are going to play this about even if they decide to grant his request for asylum that doesn't mean he would be able to walk out of the embassy go to heathrow and fly to ecuador he would still be held there you don't need be able to transfer out with some sort of consent from the u.k. government and i don't think that will be forthcoming without some sort of agreement from the swedish government so it's diplomatically very very thorny and

setting up a scenario in which julian the songs may be aghast in close quarters in the ecuadorian embassy for many years the question with australia is one that's been in the background for many many years in fact if you look through the history of the war on terror you find a number of australian citizens who were seized by the united states who were mistreated some tortured some held in possible conditions in guantanamo and the australian government was remarkably quiet about all of this not really not only not intervening but sometimes attacking their own citizens and i think what's going on there is frankly a rather surprising attitude on the part of the australian government towards the united states has been seek to challenge the us over any issue. rules you see a brief couple of top stories to bring you up to date with the u.s.

secretary of state hillary clinton is in uganda's capital as part of her africa too and uganda currently battling an outbreak of the dead. the a bowl of virus which is so for killed sixteen people nationwide well u.s. officials admit the seven nation visit is largely to push to prevent china's growing influence in the continent is next stop is south sudan whose vast oil industry depends heavily on chinese investment. the slow moving typhoon sweeping through asia has hit taiwan though it's killed at least seven people the surveillance video shows one man tragically fall to his death when a road collapsed burying him in rubble renshaw rains flooded low lying areas paralyzing the main international airport and railway network earlier this week the typhoon killed twenty three in the philippines news ok let's catch up on the business of bad news for europe as well more not great news anyway dimitris their last disappointment coming today from super mario d.c.b. chief yeah that's absolutely right everyone was expecting some kind of hint as to what these would be would be doing right now in order to save the euro just

a couple of days ago we heard mario drag you super mario say that everything in its power at the e.c.b. would do in order to salvage the euro but apparently nothing nothing so far has been announced that has been a sheer disappointment to the markets well campbell from london capital group says this is because easy be pretty much lax tools to act right now. the most important thing about the e.c.b. and its current mandate is that it does not have the same sort of powers of other central banks like the federal reserve or the bank of england it is very restricted in washington can do it hasn't specifically got the power to really do you full blown quantitative easing and it's the likes of germany the paymaster of europe who are really trying to drive home that the e.c.

be must not step outside its mandate so without powers there is no much they can do beyond as i say what they've already done this is this isn't enough for the market. this is the reaction basically on the market that and also to the fact that factory orders in june came in with a decline of half of the said and therefore we're seeing pretty much just selling on the dow and on the nasdaq over in europe similar picture we have seen the dax drop more than two percent lack of confidence in the markets still remains fairly mario draghi is not doing much to change that over on the currencies markets if i'm not mistaken yet that's right the euro is continuing to drop versus the greenback although we did see a pretty strong gains ahead of that announcement of that monthly address

from mario draghi but the russian ruble was in line it was dropping against the euro gauging against the dollar the other way around actually the r.t.s. . dropped more than one percent today despite high oil prices but those also declined after drug use speech now going to what's moving to my sex and we've got three companies hydrostatic up and bras never. hydro was up and one of the strongest stocks of saying that it's the wind thirty seven percent and that apparently was better than expected was telecom is up one percent as a smiling some kind of deal with sweden's tell it to and was never was down to a half a cent it's a late wednesday's posting of losses in the second quarter very sort of big surprise to investors now traders dubbed the surprise loss very bad two hundred
