alone welcome to r.t. this saturday you're with me tara tara well in syria's largest city arms rebels are vowing to reclaim lost ground after being pushed from a key district by government forces assault loyalists are in the middle of a massive military assault on aleppo throwing more tanks and airstrikes at the front line the findings increase the number of refugees fleeing the city and the country with some one hundred fifty thousand now registered in neighboring nations clashes have reportedly taken place between government troops and the jordanian military on their border as more people fled through the area international efforts to mediate peace are being revived with a veteran diplomat poised to become the new un envoy to syria after kofi anon quit and frustration here's artie's peter oliver. it's not a job many people would have wanted you think but considering the situation. in

syria but it's that lakhdar brahimi will be taking over from kofi annan as the next special envoy on the syrian crisis now the seventy eight year old former algerian foreign minister does have pedigree when it comes to dealing with serious conflicts he was instrumental in forming a peace in the late one nine hundred eighty s. in the lebanese civil war in two thousand and one he was sent by the u.n. as the envoy to afghanistan as the united states invaded the country following nine eleven he was again sent to iraq in two thousand and three for the invasion of that country representing the u.n. on that occasion but it's also interesting to look at what type of an envoy he will be kofi annan quite openly spoke to both the syrian rebels and the assad government that if we look a little bit better he means personal life his personal contacts we might see a different approach from him but he's daughter a former b.b.c. and c.n.n.

correspondent is married to wear one of the sons of the king of jordan. a strong family ties there jordan of course a country that has been linked to the smuggling of weapons and other arms into syria into the hands of the syrian rebels and jordan of course a haven a place of choice for those defecting from the assad government to go so perhaps we could see me focusing our attention focusing his attention on speaking to the rebels as opposed to the way that kofi annan tried to do it with speaking to both the rebels and the assad government but it looks like he will take over from kofi annan looks like the next envoy going to be. the four algerian foreign minister taking on that difficult job in syria for you as an its key regional ally are seeking new ways to pressure the syrian government into submission foreign policy chief hillary clinton's due for talks enter on saturday that's. now get some

reaction and insight from foreign affairs analyst richard had barry richard thanks for joining us today now hillary clinton's visit comes as steps up threats to weigh in with force against syria tell us how likely is direct intervention at this point . what i think there's a complete. on the level of the united nations and the money terry and tragedy on the ground is very clear more than two million displaced twenty thousand people killed and. i think. because of a lot of the syrian regime and the most recent one being the prime minister and so so i think what the clinton administration is trying to be right now is really try to coordinate some sort of. approach and possibly also with the help of user and then all of that are of. serious concern because they feel that the opposition has a chance to retain its stronghold and much of the country so i think there's going to be very intensive discussion in turkey not only in terms of some. but also.

safe zones or a no fly zone and regime is also using its force. and forces within a level now turkey's increasingly alarmed by kurdish activity in northern syria having suffered attacks by kurds seeking autonomy in the border region surely turkey has a right to defend itself if it feels threatened. but of course turkey has its own interests i mean there are two sides to us on the one very much concerned with a humanitarian tragedy in the flow of refugees from syria into turkey right now it's the biggest recipients of refugees from syria but more than the u.s. you are right number one concern for not only the civilian leadership but also the military intelligence security part. possible of rice insurgency and what we see in recent weeks is that there's a growing chorus you need. between syria and. kurds in syria and most kurds in the

route and turkey's burden is going through a grueling course. because i've been of the. kurdish majority of regions in southeastern turkey so i think turkey is also trying to make sure that the kurds and not exploit the situation to launch their own kind of. independence hall and see if you can start so i think turkey is a symptom concerned with the humanitarian aspect. but also trying to hedge against the balkan will be frequently now turkey's a nato member but the alliance has so far shunned military action even after syria shot down a turkish plane in june what do you think it'll take to get the blocks to reconsider . well i think a more day i mean on the one hand i think long as the opposition forces the episode will not be able. to full or major regions of your eye going

to turkey will be able to really move forward on sort of military intervention in the in order to he heard waiting for united states and then also a clear signal that. we could see military forces. from this line not only in the just that he's going to be the going to be the one does not want the east on leadership and he's on quandary by stepping in alone we've got the nation and other major. us forces and species concerned but more than that this is a remember the turkey other important neighbor to the east iran is very much against any kind of intervention gregory also richard i'm sorry to interrupt you i'm afraid that's all the time we have thank you for joining us live from the philippines that was foreign affairs analyst richard hey daryn thanks here. so i had the question of who should watch the what governments worldwide struggle with how. to keep us safe on the internet so how do you do it without raising suspicions

over civil liberties we report later. a century in the russian scalise as the country's air force gears up to celebrate its anniversary time line style. israeli media says a military strike on iran could be imminent and could take place in the coming months tel aviv has long threatened to attack saying international sanctions against the country over its nuclear plants are not enough but as an associate you're going to reports an early use of force by israel could leave barack obama red faced and during this november's presidential race. according to a major daily israeli newspaper the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his defense minister would like to strike iran as early as before the u.s. presidential elections taking place in november this year now amid escalating media

reports and expert predictions that such an attack could in fact be around the corner the peepers front page article on friday offered by its senior commentators and reportedly based off of conversations with israel's defense minister says that if it were up to benjamin netanyahu and his minister of defense israel would cause a military attack on iran sometime within the next several months importantly israel's security cabinet ministers have been resisting such an option for now what's important here is while israel is weighing this option we know of course that iran continues to insist that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes exclusively and we have seen the obama administration be careful in urging israel to stick with diplomacy and now of course the big question is whether israel may in fact go ahead with such an attack and whether or not it will wait for a green light from washington importantly experts in this article are quoted to say

that if such an attack were to take place before the u.s. presidential elections there this would cause a major embarrassment to barack obama as well as really cast a blow to his success in these elections because as we know his main rival republican mitt romney has never excluded such an option. well as the media frenzy over a possible strike on iran gains momentum the u.s. president has tightened economic sanctions against the country a new law signed on friday prohibits american entrepreneurs from doing business with the iranian oil sector as well as shipment and insurance companies the measure also blocks stock and gold trading with a number of iranians to. two shows including its central bank. and still to come this hour the egyptian jews fearing for their future. certain. high titles people to forget. articles insight on how wrong he relations between

few years. some food for thought next as we ask you how you like your groceries cheap and tasty or as nature intended it's the resident. are you sheep an easy or all organic when it comes to what you eat this week let's talk about that i don't care you don't care so you don't care what you put into your body you. do. for the expensive organic food i mean it doesn't to me it doesn't really make a difference i actually started juicing this year and i found out about it when i was getting a facial and there's a place called free foods right down that way and they have the best juices i've ever had in my life kale spinach basal i mean it's like and it's life changing it sounds delicious it's delicious and expensive actually it is expensive but if you think about it a glass of wine is like nine dollars and it costs the same amount why do you think
