12:01 am
the news from russia and around the world this is us he was me our thanks for joining us they've political leaders of the syrian opposition have made fresh calls for a no fly zone in the country the syrian national council even wants foreign troops to start patrolling areas near the borders with jordan and turkey but the u.s. and its allies remain reluctance to get directly involved and are instead of bolstering material support for anti-government fighters meanwhile alleged rebel atrocities outsourcing more syrian activists to disavow the opposition under this amateur footage apparently shows insurgents throwing the bodies of loyalists from a rooftop in aleppo a key flashpoint in the watching conflict they had a one of independent media outlet in syria told r.t. that he's puzzled why the rebels are pleading for foreign action when they claim to have the people support. when anybody talks about a no fly zone they are talking about a regional war they know quite well that the syrian army will not allow any foreign
12:02 am
power or foreign armies to interfere within the syrian land and any attempt to create a safe zone or north fly zone will be used on the child by war and any war between syria and turkey or syria and any major mission which. turned into a large regional war syria is a part of a huge alliance and for instance the iranians just last week made it clear that if any foreign power tries to interfere in syria they would not just watch their strongest ally fall it's even workers are being attacked i've seen rebels kill people in the streets lot of them with knives and then miss clinton comes and gives them money they lost in the massacres they are losing in any poll as we speak and as usual when ever the they find themselves in a pickle like this they call for foreign intervention and if if they claim that they have popular support as they have been saying for seventeen months why do they need foreign intervention the opposition is also stepping up efforts to round up more material support from abroad but some of those willing to help are often

unaware of exactly what's going on in the anti assad camp then editor can shed some light on the darker side all they were battling. ever thought about adopting someone why not a syrian rebel as this headline says for just one dollar a day you too can help a syrian rebel oust president assad these days you have a good number of organizations which present themselves basically as charities where you can make a donation to the rebels in syria this is the website of one of the rebel groups there saying among other things they are seeking military equipment then there is another organization which collects donations based here in washington and supported by the u.s. government they're called syrian support group we try to reach out to them and ask how they plan to distribute that money we never heard from them another web site one called adopt a revolution they also present themselves as a charity but it's organizer admitted that it's hard to see where the money goes as
12:04 am
far as who the donors are he said they range from corporations to retired couples and students possibly those mentioned retired couples who've seen videos like this one with a rebel singing a backstreet boys song oh. oh but what the page for donors does not say is that not all rebel fighters are some romantic backstreet boys fans probably not these ones and this footage shows an apparent mass execution of assault supporters by the rebels in cold blood. reports on the ground show that very six treatments groups are doing the fighting including al qaida but it's not to say that all of them are all either or it's a full blown civil war where the degree of hatred is so high that people commit atrocities on all fronts i spoke with one of america's leading experts on
12:05 am
counterterrorism and he told me the bloodshed will be even harder to stop as more outside forces get involved it isn't any more simply a question vs a whole. it's a question of saudi arabia versus iran and it's a question of turkey's increasing role in the middle east all these things make this more and more complicated and make it less and less likely there we're going to have a peaceful resolution instead we're going to have a winner take all solution one could say the danger is in simplifying things putting them black and white supporting people who kill can be called anything but charity in washington i'm going to check out. and later in the program we hear from dr abdul aziz of al-qaeda who spent fourteen years in prison for his political activism in syria and he says that that peaceful struggle is the only way towards his country's democratic future. everybody wants corporate.

down the defense minister and chief of staff have been told to go during the major offensive that's underway in the country's restive sinai region along the syrian border outgoing defense minister. sametime towie was the country's interim ruler after last year's toppling a muslim of barak president morsi also terminated constitutional changes which gave the military council wide ranging powers and dr omar assured from the middle east studies institute at i think a university says that what looks like a stamp of authority has actually been done with the military's cooperation. you see a major shake up but it's not a civilian shake up it's not an appointed defense minister most of the of these changes where the negotiated at least by the member with the members of the scaf that promoted and appointed. and it's not. a surprise that the head of the military intelligence would always wear the

factions within the audley the capacity of. the other generals to. create some sort of trouble some sort of resistance to the president this head of the military intelligence was appointed defense minister because you have enough information on the army factions and on who could do what in the army so i don't think there would be action on the on behalf of the army or. it will she all see and in a few minutes new people new problems is still the same the mainly for the arab spring revolt. the region is plunging into radicalism and threatening its security. but also drives under or in the bungling industry what could suffering at polling conditions so that when we go plenty it's a way that. wealthy
