4:01 am
you saw russia and around the world this is us he was me thanks for joining us the 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 of 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 functions meanwhile alleged rebel atrocities outsourcing more serious accidents to renounce the opposition is an attempt footage apparently shows insurgents throwing the bodies of knowledge from a rooftop in aleppo a key flashpoint in the worsening conflict the head of one dependent media outlet is cigarette told us in this tussle why the rebels are closing 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
4:02 am
power or foreign armies to interfere within the syrian land and that any attempt to create a safe zone or a north fly zone will be on the chill by war and any war between siri. and turkey or syria and any neato nation will turn into a large regional war and 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 for seven 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 they claim that they have popular support as they have been saying for seventeen months why do they need foreign intervention and some of those willing to help the opposition are often unaware of exactly what's going on and the camp can shed some light on the dark
4:03 am
a sign of abating. 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 the 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 website 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 far as who the donors are he said they range from corporations to retired couples
4:04 am
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 various experiments groups are doing the fighting including al qaida but it's not to say that all of them are all either 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 counterterrorism and he told me the bloodshed will be even harder to stop as more
4:05 am
outside forces get involved it isn't any more simply a question vs our. 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. later this hour we hear from dr abdul aziz al qaeda who spent fourteen years in prison for his political activism in syria and he says that a peaceful struggle is the only way towards his country's democratic future. everybody must cooperate. to congress the military groups first of all
4:06 am
the regime second round groups of opposed that it's time it's high time indeed to come to a cease fire and to start negotiations about what to do and how to arrange some peaceful future for the country of course this includes the prisoners from the must step aside at least for a wide. and the power must be passed or to have some acceptable personnel from the regime acceptable to the regime and accept the opposition as well. to start its resolution on period in which. a new constitution and you know legality will be established and the country. egypt egypt's president has ordered the country's top two military officials to
4:07 am
stand down the defense minister and chief of stop have been told to go during the major offensive that's underway in the country's restive sinai region along these radio border they gyptian leader who is in a power struggle with the little tree council vowed to restore security in sinai but the region's only seen more lawlessness since president mubarak was ousted with al-qaeda groups targeting security forces and the mass mumbling of arms from libya dr amar short from the middle east studies institute at x. state university says what looks like a stumble 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 see video defense minister but most of the of these changes where the negotiated at least by the member with the members of the scaf that were promoted and appointed. and it's not.
4:08 am
a surprise that the head of the military intelligence would always wear the factions within the army 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 the action on the on behalf of the army or. so israel is staying alert amid growing regional instability with prime minister netanyahu saying his countries investing billions in defense with militants penetrating through egypt and al-qaeda linked rebels fighting for power with the syrian regime the state's feeling increasingly surrounded by a growing regional radicalism politically and explains. as a result of the arab revolutions israel now finds itself surrounded by rivals
4:09 am
starting with egypt you have a situation in the northern sinai peninsula that last week saw the egyptian air force being employed for the first time here's where it is are concerned that you have. to jihad it's operating there they're also concerned that they're not going to see the same kind of willingness for cooperation from the new egyptian president mohamed morsi who comes from the muslim brotherhood that you saw in the past between his predecessor of course mubarak and tell of of as far as the situation in syria goes the ongoing violence has israelis concerned that should if a child aside is toppled he could be replaced by al qaida the wyverns hasn't extended to get to the golan heights but certainly israelis are concerned about the toppling of a same troll control from within damascus they're also concerned that you could have chemical weapons falling into the hands of extremist elements in addition to
4:10 am
those who have a massive control in the gaza strip you have hizbollah operating from levanon all of this coming on top of an already volatile but dormant situation these are the israelis and the palestinians so certainly tel aviv is viewing with growing concern the volatile situation on its borders afraid that in a moment it could flare up of course here tel aviv party. coming up later in the program rags and ruin the chicken or the tree work and suffering of all and conditions so that's we've got plenty to when. you look at the could get turkey doesn't need europe it's europe needs turkey in a few years you see that. white said turning their back on the yuan adding just that countries a lot wanting push for membership that's right. it also gives you a story and it seems so. and then. you hear or see some other part of it

out. you know brands in the west are struggling to cope with the influx of thousands of injured people in the wake up saturday's earthquake which killed more than three hundred people entire villages were leveled in the quakes and thousands of people are sleeping outside fearing further aftershocks rescue workers have battled through the night to recover survivors from the rubble but their efforts are now helping the estimated sixteen thousand left homeless. nigeria's says it's killed at least twenty suspected members of the islamist militant group boko who ran the military raid reportedly targeted one of the group's hideouts in the northeast the go around denies any losses accusing the military of killing civilians instead scores of people have died in the group's attacks in there in recent months. knowledges interim president has told the prime minister he has three days to form a transitional unity government on the sixty thousand people gathered in support of him in leadership after
4:13 am
a cruel march saw islamist militants sweep in to control parts of the north and it was concern of the previous government in action of tucking insurgency which led the military to seize control. germany could build the next to learn to greece if it doesn't stick to the bailout rules respect us from each of you the european central bank and the i.m.f. are currently growing over greece's books to see if it's doing enough but a senior lawmaker in councillor merkel's party walls that if germany is not happy they'll be no more money crees has to slice and other eleven point five billion euros off its spending to meet rescue targets. turkey's been trying for an e.u. membership card for over twenty five years but after the you were crisis struck some began to die hard whether it was such a good idea or national gloom the house caused many turks who've been living in the u. for generations to head by home in search of better jobs and opportunities artist s.r.c.
4:14 am
reports now on the migration reverse. what about five and a half million turks living in the european union their presence is certainly felt in societies in europe but as the e.u. continues to be deep in the red the lure of their original country's economic promise is getting harder to resist and the residents living on this street known as little anatolia say that more and more of their compatriots are thinking of cutting their losses and heading back home like the owner of this snack bar belgian born has been finalizing his plans and is set on relocating his family back to turkey. europe is finished the crisis is getting worse every year it's going to continue first greece then spain italy right now belgium there is a lot of stress lots of taxes bills to pay while in turkey every year turkey is very powerful life is good you can live well why would you want in belgium it's no
4:15 am
longer like this and the numbers say it all the e.u. managed a one point six percent growth in two thousand and eleven while turkey was at about seven point five percent gaining recognition as last year's fastest growing economy in europe while it is expecting a slowdown this year the grass still looks greener on their side and dependence on europe is not quite as it used to be the trade volume used to be very high with the e.u. countries percentage wise that used to be around fifty percent now it has gone down to just over forty percent that means we're diversifying our trade more and more trade with african countries asian countries all around the world and this of course has spurred a lot of growth so we need people to be able to manage this we need qualified people personnel so we see that a lot of people are now coming you know second third generation immigrants are coming back home for this purpose but there's another reason why
4:16 am
a growing number of turks want out of the e.u. you know with the crisis what's the result we reject. foreigners obviously know that there are fewer jobs less money what happens is play origin is first given to the belgians and after the foreigners the turks the moroccans the russians my decision to go back to turkey is economic but also because when there is a crisis there is discrimination if you know of this community as this migration trend rises turkey is still officially knocking on the e.u. store its candidacy for membership hanging in the balance for the last twenty five years thanks to a long list of requirements to fulfill and political opposition from some e.u. countries people are afraid that the e.u. will come up with more and more excuses even if we do overcome them people say that the other excuse is in front of us not that it matters any longer for some turks. turkey doesn't need europe it's europe needs turkey in a few years you would see that i mean against turkey becoming part of the e.u.
4:17 am
and right now turkey doesn't seem to be in much of a hurry either does or sylvia r.t. brussels so those disenchanted turkish migrants could have a point looking at the opening markets in europe and not tosh as in the business news room so those numbers on looking good are they not touch and not really europe is really feeling the pinch of the latest data from japan really disappointing to investors the main theme of today's trading all of the details in the business bulletin in just a few minutes. all right and i thank you very much we'll be looking forward to it. a lot of the clothes we wear cratered in bangladesh it's one of the world's top manufacturers but also has a disturbing record in deaths and injuries among its workers pack trace cutting back on safety to save every dollar or leaving those on the shop floor endangering the health for wages which are next to nothing freshly at

4:19 am
many of the clothing companies look the other way when things go wrong claiming that they don't know what their far away factory owners are up to labor activists say that the companies should take an interest in people rather than just profits it to them it's very clear that these factories don't care about anything except money wants doesn't occur to them what workers may have. corruption between the factory owners and politicians extreme poverty and a slow justice system make it nearly impossible for western brands to be held accountable garments account for eighty percent of bangladesh's x. for nearly ten billion dollars more of the products are shipped from here mainly to the united states in europe and every year despite the international demand workers still put in long hours and work for extremely low wages and those who are brave enough to speak out against the system are often times silent easily one percent of bangladesh's garment workers belong to unions. most like lovely are terrified of

4:24 am
after showing some straight in the previous four sessions as europe's debt crisis really have investors fleeing for safety and that usually means the u.s. dollar and that's definitely a trend the dollar's up seven percent so far this year the euro is down around nine percent for the same period and there is hope for the russian equities as long as crude is gating and it is getting the sour although it's a raising some of its earlier gains at the moment. is trading below ninety three dollars a barrel and the brand is hovering just around one hundred and thirteen dollars financial troubles across the globe don't seem to be dampening the olympic games this year the governments of participating countries will be millions of dollars to those who brought in the medals although russia came in just number four in the

medals table it's the most generous when it comes to rewards artie's katie colby has all the details. the olympics is now over for the winners they have a permanent reminder of their victories a big shiny metal but what can the champions expect in financial terms when they return to their homelands well that depends on the individual and national olympic committees who award their own sports stars the u.s. was a country with the most gold winners and the victorious that these can all expect a bonus of twenty five thousand dollars when they get back to the states in total that is one point eight million dollars that the u.s. government will be dishing out china hasn't revealed its official bonuses but it is gold winners will reportedly get a fifty one thousand dollar prize for u.k. athletes there's no extra cash to be won but there is a privilege of getting your head on a stamp so it depends what you consider to be more valuable russia has promised out

these one hundred thirty five thousand dollars for gold but some athletes can expect even more the russian judo gold champion must. look forward to a one million dollar paycheck when he gets home and even countries that are near the bottom of the league table still offer alluring amounts singapore was hoping a one million dollar bonus would bring a gold medal but it'll have to wait four years for another chance although it hasn't won a medal since nineteen fifty six and the economic crisis isn't getting the incentives was stricken giving one hundred eighty two thousand dollars to each of their winners so while it may be the taking part that counts winning certainly leaves you counting more cash. and very have it back in about fifteen minutes with all the latest but if you can't wait about long there is always our site are to the business all right and of course they deserve every penny natasha should say her i
