it's. more blunt outside damascus and an escalation in syria's key northern city hall moscow slammed the un's vote which slowly pressures the regime on finding. outrage in israel thousands here on the march across telaprevir demanding social justice from a government that keeps cutting at home but splashing out to score political points . and forty five people are reported injured in bahrain as police fired tear gas and stun grenades on protesters demanding political reforms.

welcome to our tea where we are onscreen and online twenty four hours a day seven days a week while fresh clashes have erupted and near the syrian capital with reports of heavy shelling and gunfire in damascus fighting between government and rebel forces is also escalating in the key northern city of aleppo casualties are reported on both sides with rebels saying the syrian army is bombarding several areas opposition fighters also claimed they have taken control of more than half of the financial halls but the clock taking on the one observer mission on the looming departure of peace mediator kofi anon the prospects for a diplomatic solution are fading as oksana boyko reports. decision to resign as un special envoy for syria was mad with disappointment and almost this fear in this country it confirms what many people felt all along that the situation in that country is only getting worse than death welcome to. to rise

in violence for. new areas so seeing kofi annan throwing in the towel so certainly doesn't instill much confidence and in the quick resolution of this bloody conflict something that the overwhelming majority of syrians desperately need yet despite the psychological glow of departure is unlikely to change the situation on the ground in any substantial manner he wasn't much present here in syria and he waits in the beginning of his term see how the number of meetings with both president bashar assad and prominent members of syrian opposition but he didn't succeed in bringing these two warring parties to the negotiating table most recently he's asked for is focused on trying to bridge the divides within the international community especially within the u.n. security council but he wasn't. successful on that front either now as far as u.n. monitors on the ground are concerned they still continue that mission the only thing

they can really do in the current circumstances is to try to go to the areas affected by the violence talking to people trying to document the destruction mandate is expiring in two weeks and with an unspecified nation it looks like the chances of a renewal of that mandate only slim or as far as russia is tempering this is definitely and that is the development muscle was a very strong supporter of annan six point plan from big gaps and in reaction to the resignation of russia's deputy foreign minister going to get to a vote on his twitter page was an honest broker but there were always fighters who try to get him all the big games to unite hands before i quote forced action now. when we are talking about the security situation on the ground things on and off looking drives. clashes in syria largest food here awful lot but still

continuing and here in damascus after a rally today after a week of. the c.q. was once again iraq the current series of explosions so just by an enormous demand for some sort of peace settlement violence here in syria continues russia believes the u.n. vote on syria was one sided pressuring only the regime to end the fighting from a non-binding motion passed at the general assembly does nothing to erase the conflict archies an associate has more from new york. this resolution apart from condemning the security council for failing to move the syrian peace process forward also condemns the syrian government for failing to stop using heavy weaponry as well as condemns the syrian government from now for not withdrawing from civilian areas among the ones that voted against this text was of course

russia russia believes that the behind the humanitarian facade of this resolution lies the militarization of the opposition and russia says this resolution is not helpful and that the country supplying weapons to the opposition are well known take a listen it is a this resolution exacerbates the confrontations and solving the syrian crisis it's not helping the sides enter into dialogue find peaceful ways to solve the crisis in the interests of syrian people this resolution is not how you because it contradicts the efforts to realize the annan plan it undermines the syrian led crucial is a political resolution. russia believes that this particular text is one sided and balanced as well as the whole idea of forcing the syrian government of stepping down is really an intervention into sovereign affairs six point peace plan remains on the table as coffin and steps out of the picture this plan of course called for the creation of the transitional government in syria the idea was to have both

sides of the conflict. form this government to hold new elections however the idea of where exactly this would leave assad was left open and now with countries continuing to push for him stepping down it's unclear what's going to happen to the plan we do know that the moon is currently in the process of speaking with the arab league trying to find a successor for kofi annan we're going to have to wait and see who that person is going to be and how that person will handle this particular crisis and of course we also have the you want to serve a mission expiring on august twentieth unclear whether or not it will be extended we will have to wait and see we certainly know that this is something that russia is strongly rooting for. america is pledging to fill the void which will be left by kofi anon my ramping up its regime change efforts and rebel support patrick a is covering the conflict for news website spiked dot com he says those backing opposition fighters are engulfing syria in more tragedy. i think in general it's

being used to try and step up the pressure on both russia and china to start to take a stand against the sides and effectively what it's doing is saying that we disrespect the sovereignty of syria and we don't want the syrian people to determine their own future as william hague suggested he's going to offer only for late he hasn't given specific details of this yet but it does seem like it's going to be intelligence it does seem like there's going to be an awful lot of support announced for the rebels over the next few few weeks and of course this comes just after president obama has announced well it hasn't been announced but it has been revealed that there has been a secret plan basically allow the cia to assist the rebels as well the thing i find very striking about this is that there's a real historical amnesia that's taking place among western leaders where they don't really know who the opposition is there are a lot of concerns about the makeup of it if there is you have elements there a lot of people who the west would not like to be dismissed would put their stuff

into this mentality that they're drawn to help anyone get into power there drove a sports any of the opposition in syria then they would support assad's assad has become this bogeyman just like it actually before him and they just see we need to get rid of him and everything will be ok it's a naive approach that will do no hope no help at all. still to come this hour the employment protection actually keeping americans out of work. the u.s. is skewing visa rules to send foreigners packing but those are for numerous are also taking their jobs boosting businesses with them also. and now we make iran out to be the bad guy but here we were exchanging arms with dan why do you think the world is ok with that because america is the hypocrisy remember the days when america secretly and legally sold weapons to iran a resident tries to jog a few memories in new york

international community claim is not there is fifty israeli families live in a small city outpost which government money has helped to pay for riverdale was the world's review of course the government has invested a lot here just as it did with this it limits but we don't know the reason for the social protests people find it hurt in expensive to live in cities should not point fingers at sidley but fingers are pointing and calculations made the cost of constructing a certain man's during the years was close to nineteen billion dollars and using crude investment in infrastructure is like causing electricity like energy like. also roads like water. fifty percent of the budget and so our finance or subsidised by government or activities the supreme court ruled this out post to me grant. was

illegal and is given as here until august the twenty first to move out either way is where the taxpayers foot the bill this is where the settlers will be moved to the israeli government to spend more than four million dollars building the site that translates into some eighty thousand dollars per family but the state budget is a cake if you take one piece for this there is much less left for the other there is one place where the government has already has enough money for anything and this is in the occupied territories for the settlements. and this is why israeli taxpayers are saying enough is enough for a second straight summer protest some around the country's large cities but where we have lost years vast numbers of protesters melissa police is in tel aviv have refused permission for tense along its main boulevard in symbolic defiance paper tens have sprung up but for many of these people the tents are home and the protest

see a. herewith r t at eighteen minutes past the hour on employment in the united states it is still ticking upwards and one method being used to keep americans in work is to try and keep foreigners out the problem is it's heading entrepreneurs who would

otherwise be making not taking jobs priya sridhar explains. one of south asia's hottest new entrepreneurs twenty eight year old ball is behind india's largest e-commerce company snapdeal dot com is often compared to amazon for its daily deals on services and products but we have tremendous momentum in the business we have you know sixteen million registered users one out of six internet users in india is registered on snap to you growing by a million a month by the end of the year to be twenty five million highest traffic e-commerce site in india. but if the young business tycoon had it his way he would have started in the united states where he got his ivy league qualifications but paul had no choice despite his eagerness to start a firm and create jobs america's searching on employment saw immigration authorities deny more and more visas for foreigners when your resume gets rejected

you pretty much have to go back that is nor the there's no recourse us such and i think that was disappointing maybe we would have started something in the u.s. had we gotten. my visa but then you know it doesn't matter experts say it's no coincidence that the rising rejection rates occurred as america's economy tanked but acting on the perceived fear that immigrants were taking american jobs has had the opposite effect it's unfortunate. denials are being made that are justified because what happens is it ends up being an incentive to us companies to locate more resources outside the country and in some ways in ways that might. well u.s. immigration authorities have increased the rejection rate of temporary work visas for citizens of all countries india has been the hardest hit just last year a lot of interest and of indian applicants for a certain type of temporary work visa were rejected while only around three birth

of applicants from countries like germany and the u.k. were rejected for the same type of temporary work visa. the other sting in the tail for the states is that by turfing out skilled foreigners it's missing out on big bucks opportunities that were forged in america's colleges i don't think we would be as effective entrepreneurs here had we not spend a dime in the u.s. they die doing that in the time i spend can. really help those in building the company we've been able to snapdeal now turns over one hundred million dollars a year the kind of innovation that indian immigrants have long been known for in the united states we found recently that. half of the top fifty venture funded companies i mean to companies that were started with venture capital had at least one immigrant founder so what we found is that if you keep people out you'll get less job creation and less innovation in the united states jobs america

desperately needs cannot employ fifteen hundred people in ten cities across india but we are i would look i'm all for life we also know that this opportunity of building a market leading internet e-commerce company in our own country is never going to come again one door closes another opens for this internet high flyer america's visa rejection put him on the road to riches and indians into work preassure either r t new delhi india. more world news for you this teenage protester. in overnight clashes with soldiers in saudi arabia he was among a group of armed anti regime demonstrators calling for greater rights and the release of political prisoners they fired on a patrol killing one serviceman uprisings erupted in march last year over what's seen as the discrimination of shiite muslims by the sunni monarchy.

there's been a car bombing in the libyan capital one man was injured in the blast near military police offices in tripoli it's the first such attack in the capital since the overthrow of moammar gadhafi regime last year although there have been explosions elsewhere mostly targeting of the major city of benghazi. an explosion at a far worse factory has rocked a city in central pakistan leaving at least two people dead and some fifteen injured resulting fire quickly spread to neighboring houses in a crowded market district police are now scrambling to rescue people from the debris investigators are looking into how the tragedy started but there has been a crackdown in recent months on pakistan's many illegal fireworks producers. iran's conducted military exercises launching a new short range missile it's also pushing to upgrade its missiles which can

already target israel at u.s. bases in the middle east it comes as new tough sanctions are imposed on iran over its nuclear program which it insists is peaceful meanwhile the west suspects it's aimed at developing an atomic bomb. and while the u.s. weighs into iran over its military ambitions there's one skeleton in the closet that seems to have been forgotten they iran contra affair it was one of the biggest scandals of the reagan presidency revelations that washington had been breaking an arms embargo on iran while the resident is in new york to ask whether is this one episode which time can't heal. western media would have you believe that iran is some sort of evil enemy so do they not remember their run contra scandal of one thousand nine hundred sixty this week let's talk about that have you ever heard of the iran contra scandal. sorry no

i haven't no you have a nice day no i have not heard. something big he know yes yes do you member it was about what was it about you remember. nuclear weapons i believe iran is but the army going in and trying to do for the oil is and it was about all over north was taking the funds from selling arms to iran to use to fund the contras. in. nicaragua you got it and now we make iran out to be the bad guy but here we were exchanging arms with them why do you think the world is ok with that well because america is a hypocrisy do you think that the world knows that this is a hypocrisy. i guess we know a little bit about it but sometimes i find us to be very naive and we are not

really enough to wear over everything that's going on out there they were in a war with iraq so you know what we thought that they were they were the good relative good guy. and iraq was the you know the bad guys you know it's just the whole it's ridiculous if we change our definition of of who's good and who's bad to suit our needs whenever doesn't that kind of make good and bad relative and meaningless absolutely it's almost thirty years ago so they're in thirty years then one can go from being an ally to an enemy well unfortunately that happens yeah so we should probably be more careful with whom we give arms to that is a very good. savation but then again you never know which side of the regime you fall on when you support something and one of the issues of u.s. foreign policy is they've always picked sides which they did in vietnam they did it in other places and sometimes they were successful sometimes they weren't whether or not people remember the iran contra scandal but the bottom line is the media

certainly seems to have a selective memory that suits whatever methods they'd like to promote. and a few minutes max cars are ruffles the fathers of the notorious one percent behind the world's financial fallout that's after artist top stories that's coming up.
