this is why you should care only on the r.-g. dot com. more bloodshed in syria's key northern city while moscow slams the un's vote which solely pressures the regime on the fighting. outrage in israel the country braces for thousands strong protests demanding social justice from a government that could cutting at home but splashing out to score political points . and forty five people reported injured in bahrain as police fired tear gas and stun grenades of protesters demanding political reform. fighting between government and rebel forces continues in syria's second city of aleppo with reports of heavy shelling and gunfire there are casualties on both

sides with rebels saying that syrian attack helicopters are bombarding the areas some twenty thousand government troops are also said to have been dispatched to the city to flush out the opposition fighters in several districts syrian security forces claim they've managed to hold back reveller attempts to take control of key government facilities now earlier the free syrian army said it captured more than half of the financial. now focusing in on damascus there forty eight a radian pilgrims have been kidnapped the iranian embassy consulate chief there is quoted as saying armed terrorist groups seized the pilgrims from a bus on route to the airport there are no media reports about their fate tonight and syria officials are trying to trace who is behind it hundreds of thousands of shiite iranians travel to syria during ramadan. russia believes the u.n. vote on syria was one sided meantime pressuring only the regime to end the fighting for moscow the non-binding motion passed at the general assembly does nothing to ease the conflict in

a sincere churkin and 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 condemning 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 helping you because it contradicts the efforts to realize the annan plan it undermines the syrian led

crusaders for a political resolution. russia believes that this particular text is one sided and balanced as well as the whole idea of pushing the syrian government of stepping down is really an intervention into sovereign affairs six point peace plan remains on the table as coffin 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. and then

we will have to wait and see we certainly know that this is something that russia is strongly rooting for. america's pledging to fill the void in solving syria which will be left by kofi annan by ramping up its regime change efforts and rebel support praises covering the conflict for news website spiked dot com he says the people backing opposition fighters are a golfing syrian war tragedy and 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 assad's 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 william hague suggested he's going to offer non-lethal aid 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 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 you hardly elements there are a lot of people who the west would not like to be dismissed with their stuff into this mentality that they draw to help anyone get into power there drove a sports any of the opposition in syria then they would support assad assad has become this bogeyman just like it before him and they just see we need to get rid of him and everything will be ok it's a naive approach that would do no hope no help at all. and london are still to come the employment protection that's actually keeping americans out of work the u.s. is skewing visa rules to send foreigners packing but those entrepreneurs are also taking the job boosting business is with them also. and now we make

a run to be the bad guy but here we were changing arms but. why do you think the world is ok with that call because america is the hypocrisy. remember the days when america secretly and illegally sold weapons to iran well the president tries to jog a few memories in new york a little later. thousands of protesters are due to start running in tel aviv angry at the ever growing cost of living there is ready government passed a tough package of cuts and tax hikes this week to try and save over three and a half billion dollars in next year's budget the protest movements but on the rise in recent months galvanized by some desperate people setting themselves on fire saturday social justice demos are expected to be joined by groups calling for a universal army draft to recruiting ultra orthodox jews to serve in the military progress and popularity massively growth of late with over sixty percent no one happy with his work but critics say the government keeps cashing in to support his

regional political goals instead of spending it at home as policy are found. in the middle of the west bank on land palestinians and the international community claim is not the is fifty israeli families live in a small outpost which government money has helped to pay for. the government has invested a lot here just as it did with this it 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. but fingers are pointing and calculations made the cost of constructing certain during the years was close to nineteen billion dollars in. it includes investment in infrastructure causing like electricity like energy like. also roads like water about fifty percent of the budget.

settlements are finance or subsidized by government or activities the supreme court ruled this our post immigrant was illegal and has given settlers here until august the twenty first to move out either way it's really 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 the state budget is a cake. if you take one piece for this there is much less live 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 similar around the country's largest city but where we have lost years vast numbers of protesters who support leaders in tel aviv

have refused permission for tense along its main boulevard in symbolic defiance paper tents have sprung up but for many of these people the tents are home and the protest is not temporary they're in for the long haul. shame on you mr netanyahu you should help the poor in the week i've been homeless for twenty years and no politician has ever come here they don't look at us as humans they think we're animals in the soup already people have set themselves on fire if nothing changes we'll all start doing it too by comparison not one person appears homeless and outposts like this one to make one as the social protests continue more and more people are demanding answers to why the government is pouring money into new settlements at the expense of the poor in existing communities policy r.t. made one outpost in the west bank. spain's prime minister's give the strongest indication yet that the country might need

international media why is that you think. this is part of the. city and international community where they want to support. not all of the human rights abusers and they consider the international. financial and economic. and other things foreign policy these are more much more. human rights and democracy and that's why we. saw we cannot answer the call for dignity. security justice these are something that is being called the kids or the citizen there is no such thing as citizenship by an individual and you have to live rulers to get their land like

two hundred square meters to build a house for thirty years to feel and then they said they have granted you this by not even this is part of your citizenship scholarship employment other things all of these are something that granted to the citizens but they are. alone the only presentation and they. just took the oath that the all in the judicial look at the these are far much more thoroughly than even their thinking about the house or their job understood clearly while you're on the line and staying in your country we've got a video want to show our viewers something we've been talking about all day today on this channel a video leaked online allegedly showing government driving cars and demonstrators i mean is this the red line it's going to take to make the international community take a stand on bahrain or not do you think. the international community will mourn

with their new gene. steps to the humorous we've been talking about more than eight months of implementation of the board only independent commission of inquiry report which spilled out lots of torture expert. to the show to try. at users now we've talked to in the last two months more than four hundred thousand by police officers no accountability to these police officers although it was mentioned in be can afford and it's been to be that now just two months until it. parses. activists banning of activists from traveling outside but it's not killing other places but they are trying to. trying to. humanely but the people are.

and they are continuing their struggle this by this ignore and. let's focus while you're on the line i got about a minute or so. saudi arabia now the situation there is even less clear than bahrain there's almost no information coming through is there last year we were called saudi arabia banned all demonstrations in the country and security forces are on high alert over what they call a turbulent situation in the region what is actually going on there. there ought to be. sure. some political rights for. all of that you see see it's not. the only. thing some activist. nation the people. the people and. just the. absolute monarch is all of. that they are

controlling the will. is they are controlling that this isn't making they are controlling even what they get. i think. when it comes to the. people. through out of presentation of the people here and region does not want. the people there one thing that. they want security they want justice they want an equal opportunity this is a provided the. citizenship centric representation from the people to believe. this is a store says they now. thanks for your thoughts to make them so clear leading figure of bahrain's largest opposition party joining us on the international they appreciated. plenty more stories coming up. as well of course for you tonight we're reporting tonight the federal reserve's first ever ordered of the hidden gold stash

free. free. free. free blogging video for your media project a free media dog r.t. dot com. hello again thanks for being with us and r.t. unemployment in the united states is still ticking upwards of one method big used to keep americans in work has to try and keep foreigners out problem with that is that it's hitting entrepreneurs who would otherwise be making not taking jobs as press freedom reports. 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 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 you know to be twenty five million. 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 there is no one 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 u.s. 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 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 were. the other sting in the tail for the states is that by turfing out skilled foreigners it's missing out on big box opportunities that were forged in america's colleges i don't think we would be as effective entrepreneurs here had we not spend time in the us they don't think that

the time i spend can call. really helped us 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. about 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 having the time of our 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 highflyer america's visa

rejection put him on the road to riches and indians into work preassure either r t new delhi india. mobile news brief there's been a car bombing in the libyan capital woman was injured in the blast military police offices in tripoli it's the first such attack of the capital since the overthrow of moammar gadhafi regime last year although there have been explosions elsewhere mostly targeting the major city of benghazi. a follow it through central pakistan exploded its left at least two dead and injured some fifteen of the resulting fire quickly spread to neighboring houses in a crowded market district you can see the police and i was scrambling to rescue people from the wreckage investigators are looking into. how the tragedy started but there's been a recent crackdown in recent months on pakistan's many illegal fireworks producers . iran's conducted military exercises launching a new short range missile and it's also pushing to upgrade its missiles which can

already target israel and u.s. bases in the middle east it comes as new tough sanctions are imposed on iran over its nuclear program which insists is peaceful the west suspects it's aimed at developing an atomic bomb. while the u.s. weighs into iran over its military ambitions as one skeleton in the closet seems to be forgotten the iran contra affair was one of the biggest scandals of the reagan presidency in his day revelations that washington had been breaking an arms embargo on iran following the end of the capitol hill hearings into the case exactly twenty five years ago president reagan took full responsibility for what he called things he was unaware of but two and a half decades later the full extent of his involvement and his awareness remain unclear the matter broke the story robert perry phase there are still too many details that will never see the light of day. what you saw here was the failure of the institutions of washington to get control of these things there had been an effort in the seventy's after watergate after the exposures of cia abuses to bring

some constraints on to this process and then you saw the iran contra scandal it was the first test case really what would congress really hold the president to task and make sure that he couldn't go off in his own direction the institutions of washington failed to both enforce the law stupid was in force but also in just explaining to the american people what had happened there are still many sections of this scandal that we don't know the full story about or even a chunk of the story so much of this remains still something outside the historical picture that this the american people have been denied we don't really know who did what and why and even how. the residence in new york to us whether the iran contra affair as 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 the iran 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. 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 to remember. nuclear weapons i believe iran is but the army going in and trying to go 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 and. no it's not 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 we were 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 just ridiculous if we change our definition of it 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 there in thirty years someone 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 old. 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 the bottom line is the media certainly seems to have a selective memory that suits whatever methods they'd like to promote. looking ahead high levels of unemployment in the u.s. as the presidential election draws near is one of the topics in focus and capital account that so many are off of the headlines of the next two and.

everyone wants to be president. whether they're old ladies only engine drugs. but it might be quite tricky to get a fancy cut. because you live out here in siberia. and the only way to get to you is by trying. nuclear. side. radioactive

fallout of government betrayal the government. everything laws and laws and claude how can the truth be revealed if there's no official evidence there was indeed a very great danger to the servicemen concerned who will give them no problem protection and to the people of this country generally because of radio like the full. the secrets of the u.k.'s nuclear tests.
