this is why you should care only on the orgy dot com. it's like clashes in istanbul with protesters angry at hillary clinton's visit who promises another five and a half million dollars to the syrian rebels as she discusses plans for a future without president the sand. syria's rebels plan to fight back meantime in key parts of the country's second city of aleppo while the u.n. backs the observer mission with a veteran algerian diplomat touted as the new peace envoy. and the u.s. says it's our interests around shows there's no in nuclear weapon in the works yet but a leading paper reports that an israeli strike on iran could be imminent. if

just joined us warm welcome to this is r.t. live from moscow eight pm here now my name's kevin irwin and first washington stepping up plans for syria's post a sad future and getting ready for worst case scenarios including a possible chemical weapons attack u.s. foreign policy chief hillary clinton is in turkey as i'm kristie threats to weigh in with force if it feels threatened from across the border washington's also pledged a further five and a half million dollars in aid to syrian rebels bringing the total end to eighty two million total funding to the opposition since the conflict began last year riot police clashed with protesters from a leftist party trying to reach the building with clinton was to meet prime minister edward officers responded with batons and tear gas at least five people were injured let's get some thoughts on these latest developments and talk to antiwar activist and journalist on the batteries on the line from the u.s. side on hillary clinton's visit comes. threatening to step up the use of threats in the. in force of the syrian conflict meantime they're also saying

they're preparing for the worst case scenario that as i just mentioned maybe a chemical attack is that scenario a chemical attack a real possibility. there's been some discussion of the possibility of a so-called black ops chemical attack where some of the u.s. agent forces that are on the ground in syria fighting the government would launch a chemical attack and attempt to lay the blame for that on the syrian government i think that's a real possibility but the discussion by clinton of the possibility of a no fly zone and aerial support for the insurgency or the you know the fighting against the government which is a violation by the way of the u.n. charter of the geneva accords and you know just about all international law that bears on this is a frightening continuation of the policy that the united states has conducted around the world since well since one nine hundred fifty three but certainly since

at the first iraq war the sanctions period under hillary's husband bill clinton and you know straight through the bush and obama administration thought in this case of course western powers long said along the actions of for the sake of the whole syrian people who have more cash in arms going to the rebels how is that actually going to help bring pace not really working so far is it well it is actually antithetical to peace the conduct of war against the government on the soil where the syrian people live obviously cannot bring peace to the syrian people it's intended to provoke a response from the government the government has the choice of either not responding and allowing armed terrorists to blow things up and blow up their troops and to blow up and execute civilians all of which has been happening or to fight back which of course means that there are parts of the cities that get bombed and there are people that are displaced the these two choices are what are being presented by american policy in syria to is of course a key. player that's why hillary clinton's there the country's allegedly been

funneling weapons to the syrian rebels through a secret base near the border as the country and its allies to think properly weighed up the dangers of supporting forces with links at the end of the day we believe to al qaeda in particular causal is going on in its border. you might ask the same question of the us alliance with al qaida on and off since its creation in afghanistan in the early eighty's because we know the answer to that the answer is that it's a very dangerous game to play you on the one hand creating an enemy that has no state ties really isn't domiciled anywhere and that just is highly weaponized very angry and extremely religious i guess superstitious angry and so they go around and kill whoever they decide to kill at the moment sometimes it's people in new york city sometimes it's people in afghanistan sometimes it's people in russia sometimes it's people in lebanon in syria right now the focal point is syria

where you are on the. reportedly been trying to bribe the syrian ambassador mara taney to take the rebel side allegedly promising one million dollars in political asylum what does that tell us about the whole affair maybe the desperation of it well first it tells us the nature of the defections we know that this effort divide people off has been going on you know what happened in libya also you'll see these staged events on the ground to take place with these staged defections and now that the information is coming out we understand the nature of the defections are people that are being purchased don't face your thoughts and who are activists and journalists on the line from the states that thank you for. the u.n. chief fact the presence of international monitors in syria which would provide impartial means of accessing the situation on the ground the observers extended mandate expires next in ten days now with a veteran algerian diplomat had to become the new u.n. arab league envoy after kofi annan quit that side of the story his peter all of a now. 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 had quite openly spoke to both the syrian rebels and the assad government now if we look a little bit better he means personal life in his personal contacts we might see

a different approach from him brahimi is daughter of former b.b.c. and c.n.n. correspondent is married to wear one of the sons of the king of jordan. 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 brahimi focusing 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 so it looks like the next envoy going to be locked up or he the former algerian foreign minister taking on that difficult job in syria meantime syrian rebels say they're preparing a counter attack to regain ground in the country's second city of a. after being pushed from

a key district by government forces the syrian army said to be through more tanks and air strikes at the frontline and the reports of bombing and gunfire in the capital damascus fightings increase the number of refugees than fleeing from the city and the conflict torn state the rebels are pleading for more foreign aid with britain promising nearly eight million dollars worth of new equipment syrian activists are my work of says there's little transparency to the deal though. a turkish member of the parliament said that ambulances used to clear wounded persons from inside syria into turkey are actually taking weaponry to inside syria it does go back to mr hague statement he said that's communication communication devices will be sent in order to warn civilians against impeding impending story government attacks who's going to be warning them are there satellite images that are going to be passed to the ground will those communication devices be released into civilians will be obese into rebels and would they be used as they are intended who can

guarantee that you can guarantee that body armor is going to be used not to assassinate political opponents in front of t.v. cameras just like what they did with the bernie for leaks you know we need a little bit more transparency with this coming up at r.t. the fall from the revolution egypt's few remaining jews fear escalating threats of the country's new leadership is cairo's relations with israel south report i'm out ahead and also keeping the internet safe and free but is it really possible to achieve both we investigate in a few moments. before that washington says it has a visibility inside iran's nuclear program confident it will know if it moves towards building a bomb no those remarks look to be directed at israel which border earlier that the international community might not realize in time to prevent to around requiring a weapon israeli media suggest the country could launch an imminent strike on iran before the presidential elections in the united states the plans could lead them to

a rift between the allies as the u.s. insists that tightening economic sanctions is enough a new law signed on friday prohibits american entrepreneurs from doing business with the iranian oil sector and also shipping and insurance companies. report that . 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 authored 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. remember there are always local stories. the twenty four seven the rough justice find out

balance austerity to satisfy its e.u. lenders earlier ratings giant standard and poor's lowered its outlook again on athens saying it might need another loan to survive now later tonight economist roger bootle tells r t that the only way forward for greece is to abandon the single currency now. i think there's no doubt that greece in my view needs to get out of the euro i cannot see any way in which this current policy of austerity. and really. this is going to be very far from a magic wrong. track record. price of crude greece is going to go up possibly wrong so initially living standards are going to be squeezed far from bringing relief do you order a great person it's actually going to make matters worse initially however going forward things are then completely transformed because in a flash greece is more competitive not the grinding deflation they were ten or fifteen years but instantaneously greece is forty or fifty or sixty percent more

competitive and the demand for greek output is going to take off that doesn't happen overnight but in a matter of months that will happen greek exports will start to rise imports will fall and that will generate employment and more income in greece so there's a trade off a difficult period to go through first of all in order to secure later greater prosperity. and let you know if you're not quite at the ready you can watch the full interview with economist george bush low outlined his view on the least painful way for countries to leave the euro in just about ten minutes time tonight here on this channel r.t. from moscow. the debate over how to control the internet has been marked with growing political and social opposition though despite the efforts of governments to limit the dangers from cyberspace critics say every proposal risks destroying web freedom. the story. is hard to argue

against protecting young ones from dangers like child pornography that's what russia's new internet law aims to do by making it easier to remove harmful content from the web and give the government new powers to blacklist pages even entire domains bypassing the courts but critics say it could be used for altogether different purposes russia's wikipedia was one of several websites to go dark and protest about militia and it has been using this law to protect children men's blocking access to information for everyone including adults and that's not protection that's censorship. he could be great britain united states france germany lawmakers say the bill is on par even weaker than what's on the books elsewhere but for online activists countries like the u.s. or britain are case studies in how not to regulate the web you can see the different countries are different tactics whether it's copyright laws or cyber security laws or just using national security as an excuse to go after for
