to teach. the battle syrian opposition makes the french believe of pouring out action as acts of its claim people support for the insurgency is twiddling amid new allegations of rebel atrocities. also egypt's president orders the country's top military officials to retire as a major offensive continues in the country's volatile sinai region. while the north east egyptian border hate stop and al-qaeda linked groups infiltrate syria and israel feels trapped in the middle and they've suffered security forces a chance to.
5:01 am
use on russia and iran the world this is us he with me our 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 once 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 bowl straight material support for anti-government fighters meanwhile alleged rebel atrocities outsourcing more syrian are so it's to renounce the opposition and this amateur footage apparently shows insurgents throwing the borders of loyalist from iraq to from a rooftop in aleppo a key flashpoint in the western conflict the head of one independent media outlet in syria told us that it has puzzled why the problems that pleading for foreign action when they claim to have the people support. them out when anybody talks about the no fly zone they are talking about a regional war they know quite well that the syrian army will not allow any foreign
5:02 am
power or foreign armies to interfere within the syrian land and that any attempt to create a safe zone or north fly zone will be based on the chilled by war and any war between syria and turkey or see. any neato nation will turn 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 for seven workers are being attacked have 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 some of those willing to help the opposition are often unaware
5:03 am
of exactly what's going on in there and the camp. account sheds some light on the darker side of their rebellion. 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 website 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 far as who the donors are he said they range from corporations to retired couples
5:04 am
and students possibly those mentioned retired couples who've seen videos like this one where the rebels singing a backstreet boys song oh. my oh but what the pitch 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 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
5:05 am
outside forces get involved it isn't any more simply a question of sunni versus 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 on. and now it's time we hear from dr abdullah's is to respond to fourteen years in prison for his political activism in syria and he says there's a peaceful struggle is the only way towards his country's democratic future. everything was corporate. to congress the military groups first of all
5:06 am
the regime second round groups although it was a show 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 awhile. and the power must be passed on to some acceptable personnel from the regime acceptable to the regime and accept the opposition as well. to start a transitional period in which. a new constitution and you know legality will be established in the country. egypt's president has ordered the country's top to military officials to stand down the defense minister and chief of staff have been told to go during the major
5:07 am
offensive that's underway in the country to receive a sinai region along the israeli border they gyptian a leader who is in a power struggle with the military council about to restore security in sinai but the region's only seen more lawlessness since president mubarak was ousted but al-qaeda groups are using security forces on their mosques muddling along through the media dr omar short from the middle east studies institute at the university says it will look like a stone cold killer she has actually been done with them and she's helped raise. you see a major shake up but it's not a civilian shakeup it's not an appointed video defense minister most of the of these changes where the negotiated at least by the member with the members of the staff that promoted. did. and it's not. a surprise that the head of the military intelligence would always wear the
5:08 am
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 he has 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 staying alert in a growing a regional instability with prime minister netanyahu saying his country's 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 reach of radicalism fall asleep explain. as a result of the arab revolutions israel now finds itself surrounded by rivals
5:09 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 these radios are concerned that you have linked 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 bashar assad is toppled he could be replaced by al qaida the violence 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 those who have hamas and control in the gaza strip you have hizbollah operating
5:10 am
from lebannon 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 r.t. . coming up later in the program for you rounds andrew in a bungler industry workers suffering appalling conditions so we've got plenty to where. it could get tricky doesn't need you or it's europe needs turkey and if you use you would see that why turks are turning their back on the u.s. housing home despite the country's long running push for bush. if you.

led the military drunker to seize control. germany could block the next learnt agrees if it doesn't stick to the bailout rules inspectors from the u. the european central bank the i.m.f. are currently going over greece's books to see if it's doing enough but a sunni lawmaker chancellor merkel's party those that if germany is not happy they'll be known mighty greece has to slice and other eleven point five billion euros up attending to me. turk has been trying for an e.u. membership card for over twenty five years but after the euro crisis chunk some began to doubt whether it was such a good idea a national gloom has caused many turks who've been living in the you for generations to head back home in search of better jobs jobs and opportunities artists s.r.c live reports now on the migration reversal.
5:14 am
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 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
5:15 am
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 it 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 and third generation immigrants are coming back home for this purpose but there's another reason why 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
5:16 am
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 they'll be other excuses in front of us not that it matters any longer for some turks but there's a turkey doesn't need europe it's europe who needs turkey in a few years you see that i'm against turkey becoming part of the e.u. and right now turkey doesn't seem to be in much of a hurry either does or sylvia r.t. brussels and i was just in terms of disenchanted rather takesh migrants could have

5:19 am
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 it's very clear that these factories don't care about anything except among the wants dozens of workers may have. months 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. only one percent of bangladesh's garment workers belong to unions. most like lovely are terrified of
5:20 am
speaking out she never received a penny in compensation from any higher ups in her factory or the companies they exported their garments to and has now been abandoned by her family because of the high costs of the medication she needs to survive i hope that something like this never happens to anyone but no one has to go through such a trauma while lovely hopes that no one else suffers her fate her scars are an every day reminder that because of her time in the garment factories her life will never be the same preassure either r t dhaka bangladesh and you can get more from us on line at color let's check some of the stories of gold there for you right now u.s. security justifies the racial discrimination in the fight against terrorism. on standby power as they call sucks up having had to hold full details of the colorful or say.

5:24 am
that seems to be a trend over the past year. gave around seven percent of that's compared to a nine percent a loss for the european currency and crude is also showing some strain this monday afternoon a u.s. benchmark futures recovered from their losses on friday and they are trading at around ninety three and a half dollars a barrel brant is hovering at around one hundred and fourteen dollars financial troubles across the globe don't seem to be dampening the olympics certainly not this year the governments of participating countries will pay millions of dollars to those who brought in the metals although russia came in as number four in the medals table it's actually paying out the most generous rewards to its athletes artie's katie pilgrim has all the details. the olympics is now for the winners they
5:25 am
have a reminder of that victory is a big shiny metal but what can the champions expect in financial terms with a return to their homelands well that depends on the individual and national a limpid committees who will own sport stalls the u.s. was a country with the most gold when it is on the victorious at these cannot 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 its 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 stand 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 gold champion is i have to look forward to
5:26 am
a one million dollars paycheck when he gets home and even conscious 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 downplaying the incentives was stricken italy 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. well it's actually good to know that russia is number one in something especially when that something is a financial reward for any level the latest from the visit of the backer. thank you very much indeed natasha back with you in an hour and i'll bring you the headlines after this very short break. all.
