but you are going to syria says he's quitting with kofi annan blaming the international community's barrier to united to find a peaceful solution to their prices. while the mainstream western media coverage of the conflict has some serious screaming buyers as rebel atrocities go largely unreported. also the defense prepares to present its side in the trial of members of a controversial female punk band over an antigovernment stunt on the main orthodox cathedral in moscow but the cold case that everyone seems to have an opinion on both here and russia and to broaden the latest you weigh in with their view has been president vladimir putin join me in a few moments for all the latest on this ongoing case.

international news and comment live from moscow this is all she was me viewership of our thanks for joining us first the u.n. and the arab league looking for a new joint and boy to syria after coffee announced that he'll step down at the end of the month the diplomat blamed a lack of consensus at the u.n. for the shortcomings of his peace plan for syria where violence is escalating and the citric and has the latest from new york. this was a job that most called a diplomatic mission impossible from the get go firstly of course because of the intricacies of the conflict on the ground but also because of the conflicting positions of the key players at the united nations security council and now with one month to go before. the job is officially over we're already seeing reactions from the international community that some could call predictable russia for one

has said that the resignation is regrettable other countries have said this as well we are seeing many countries in the west already back to singing the old tune of regime change something that russia and china have vetoed repeatedly at the united nations security council we're hearing the united states begin the finger pointing again saying that the resignation is actually a sign and underlines russia's and china's failure in the syrian process the west overall is back to calling for assad to step down a stance that was taken off the kofi anon six steps peace plan russia never supported regime change in syria it reiterates that the gist of the problem remains the same that the key players are continuing to separate words from deeds because on paper we're seeing seemingly the international community calling for peace talks and for a peaceful resolution to the crisis yet that is not so much the case in reality take a listen to those who insist that the sma should be terminated they do not want this

do not want this objective information and they have some other things in mind rather than stopping the weapons and the political accommodation russia has also said that if the international community is interested in a peaceful process in syria you one observers are very useful on the ground but we did hear from the french ambassador who is currently holding the rotating presidency of the security council the you want to serve his mission will and on august nineteenth and for now with one month to go kofi annan. said to leave behind his sixty peace plan which for now has proven to be ineffective the peace plan called of course for a transitional government to be formed in syria including both sides of the conflict this of course has not been the case we do know that the united nations security council and the united nations general assembly will be focusing on the syrian crisis for the rest of the week and we know that bond human is currently in talks with the arab league to determine kofi annan successor. the main battle for

syria's largest city is apparently about to begin that's according to the yuan aleppo has seen heavy fighting between government and rebel forces over the last week but sides are pulling fresh reinforcements to the front line in the struggle to seize the initiative rebels are reportedly receiving a growing flow weapons from neighboring turkey through a secret transit hub and revelations in the us media claim the white house has also lies the more covert support forces despite their links to al qaeda and also are historian holmes says america's repeating its mistakes by stoking extremism in syria. it's well known that washington basically has perfected the idea of a cheap tricks foreign policy that is to say on the one hand you talk in smile when the other hand and mike in the back that's basically what's happening in syria all of this blather about negotiations with the regime is no more than that they would

like to see we've seen change although as usual i don't think washington has caught up with the consequences that is to say that there is a real danger that al-qaeda like forces will be coming to power sooner rather than later in the past and then washington will be faced with a replay of what if helped engineer in afghanistan where they helped engineer the coming to power of the taliban which opened the door to gain influence there which led to the tragedy of september eleventh two thousand one. hundred on the way later this hour here and i see coverage of cover up find out why some syrians are deeply and mainstream western media reports from the conflict. punished police arrest three suspected al qaida operatives were believed to links to church on terrorism for plotting to bomb attacks in europe. that's

later this hour but now the defense in the trial of members of the pussy riot a female punk group well today present outside of that anti-government stunt on the capital's main cathedral in february challenged her with her to get isn't motivated by religious hatred or hostility the three could face up to seven years in jail if convicted unless her got the details from martin. this all goes back to the incident that took place in moscow's main cathedral in february of this year when the punk rock collective known as pussy riot performed what they called a punk rock prayer a protest song against the current government here in russia now that provoked a pretty harsh reaction pretty extreme reaction from from some elements here in the country really of a polarizing incident this happened in one of the most religious sites in the country of course now the trial of these three women who are accused of being part of the group is in day five at the moment we're going to hear from the defense

later on as they put forward their case we're also hearing that there is a possibility that we could hear a verdict alyssa later on that's a slim chance but if they are convicted these three women. charged with hooliganism they could face up to seven years in prison on one side you really have groups that are related or close to the old church who have been damning and their criticism of pussy riot and of these three particular with an accusing them of blasphemy and calling for the stiffest punishments that are available to be brought down upon them however there are others that are saying that these women have been unfairly treated that they were held in prison for they are awaiting trial for far too long there are also those saying that they are an artistic right to be able to to perform in the way in which they did know it's not just here in russia that we've heard the sentiments being echoed there's a lot of support from the music industry as a whole both here in russia broad artists like staying on to me kate is from the

red hot chili peppers was playing in a performance in moscow wearing a pussy riot t. shirts are the latest to weigh in with his opinion his being president vladimir putin he said although what happened in the church was wrong in his opinion that these three women shouldn't be judged too harshly just based on the circumstances regarding where this incident took place. i hope the court will rule a just decision if the brown let's see defiled a secret police in israel would have to cope with some tough guys there and would freeze difficulties when attempting to leave the country or if for example they went to the caucuses and defaced a muslim shrine security wouldn't have enough time to protect them from public anger nevertheless i don't think we should judge them too strictly they have made some important conclusions themselves anyway the final decision is on the court.

but day five of the trial gets underway a little later on friday and i'll be bringing you updates here from outside the courtroom all day as it happens the mother we can exit is a judo son who is lobbying ecuador to grant him asylum says she fears has some good face execution if his extradited to the united states christine ecuador's leader only when a state is considering whether to grant political asylum to whistleblower present call rares said the decision one day influenced by pressure from any country the former computer hacker has been holed up in ecuador's embassy in london for over six weeks now and he's wanted as sweden over sex quiet allegations but believes they are just a pretense to hurt him over to the u.s. to face trial over a massive leak of secret files and later on in our exclusive interview his mother christine astonished tells r.t. that she is proud of his son and supports him and his son on what to expect. to have one is another. call so we don't know. but is this

and four train bombing in madrid now they say that these three men be arrested today had been under monitoring a by the authorities for some time now and we can see that and we can expect that authorities here in europe will definitely be even higher alert after the arrests that were made today. in just a few minutes here when they get used to rule the roost butt. now the tables have turned while song complications complained they become frequent of victims of the racial abuse and inequality two decades on to the country overthrew apartheid. and . the news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations rule the day.

which right if you move. from things to. don't come. here watching aussies great to have you with us now let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world this hour security forces in bahrain have fired tear gas and stun grenades as hundreds of protesters attempted to block a key highway late on thursday is the latest in a series of violent clashes between riot police and pro reform banks have it in the

on the syrian front lines becoming political disciples on one side the rebels is almost the norm for many reporting to the world in the past week of coverage c.n.n. has the earth five packages from the syrian frontlines all detailing the plight of those fighting the government and while the regime is always pinned down for its use of force against the militants is a government monster acted on friday against rebels fighting for syria's biggest city and commercial capital a lot of killings by the rebels barely get a mention what happened to the go you capture this room he died the rebel commander says god willing he went to hell usually open and talkative syrians are now afraid of cameras those who agree to be interviewed often ask for their faces or names not to be shown for fear of reprisals the satellite dishes or household commodity syrians do watch western coverage of the conflict and many feel that their concerns their fears the losses are intentionally glossed over. to their feelings just

because you know what this is not really even first time i've been able to come to syria i know why you might want to get away before you don't have a visa. we've been waiting for a visa you know and you're sort of there with them to get these it's not the usual claim that the syrian government doesn't let western reporters into the country is not accurate currently there are around eighty foreign media outlets accredited in syria a sizeable number of them european or american. but their dispatches are not always welcomed at home christiane sun is an independent belgian rider. and they want to bring a certain picture about syria. if. they use a photoshop or selective editing is hardly a new invention the war horse has long become a cliche but in syria one sided coverage keeps the war going and shooting for t.v.

really kills. journalism schools no longer teach their students to be objective it's considered impossible rather they're told to strive for balance and integrity and to put humanistic values above the way to go but syria is once again a special case in this bloody conflict western media rarely calls for the conciliation of political dialogue rather it's for arming the rebels and with the war also known as freedom to go on its own about the artsy reporting from syria and of course we're closely monitoring the situation in syria on our website as well the latest news on the in depth analysis is that right about twenty four seven including video footage released by the free syrian army in a water appears to be a mass execution of assad supporters in the lead. plots. in a u.s. court hard to close the use of drones in american skies completely legal mind on
