welcome says r.t. live from moscow it's nine pm here now my name's kevin zero in and first this hour the syrian opposition's rich rated its calls for a no fly zone in the country although they heard still reluctant to get directly involved the u.s. has previously voiced support for the move even if it means bypassing the u.n. washington and its allies have also pledged more backing for anti is sad fighters as well syrian rebels say they've shot down a government war plane and captured the pilot in this latest development and activists have released this video showing a fighter jet catching fire after it was apparently hit by ground shelling but state officials insist it crashed because of technical failure on top of this alleged rebel of troll cities are forcing more syrian activists to renounce the opposition it's claimed this amateur footage shows insurgents throwing the bodies of public sector workers from a rooftop in aleppo it's now a key fashed point of the conflict had a. one independent media outlet in syria spoke to us he says he's surprised the
1:02 pm
rebels are pleading for foreign action if they have as much popular support as they say they have. when anybody talks about an all fly zone they are talking about a regional war they know quite well that the syrian army will not allow any foreign power or foreign armies to interfere within the syrian land and any attempt to create a safe zone or north fly zone will be on the tour by war and any war between syria and turkey or syria and any need to a nation will turn into a large regional war in 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 and as usual when ever the they find themselves in
1:03 pm
a pickle like this they call for foreign intervention and if they claim that they have popular support as the have been saying for seventeen months why do they need foreign intervention. some of those backing the opposition are often aware of exactly what's going on in the end he said he's going to teach you can shed some light on the darkest side of the 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 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
1:04 pm
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 and students possibly those mentioned retired couples who've seen videos like this one where the rebels 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 extremist groups are doing the fighting including al qaida but it's not to say that all of them are all either or it's
1:05 pm
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 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. we go on the crisis in today's interviews where we show you all day to day we hear from dr abdul aziz ohio he spent fourteen years as a political prisoner in syria eight told us that
1:06 pm
a peaceful struggle in things is the only way to build a democratic future. day off to the very number one and the only group in the opposition are becoming more and more hostages in the hands of their allies. they are losing. independent decision. they can apply what they think or believe and everybody must call for it. to congress the military groups first of all the regime second round groups all the polls show that it's time it's high time indeed to come to a ceasefire and to start negotiations about what to do and how to arrange some peaceful future.
1:07 pm

1:08 pm
after an attack by militants in sinai the killed sixteen border guards the security presence there has been increased with the president vowing to restore order asia times correspondent have asked about told me he believes the new coup could be on the cards. we should expect some say to happen not immediately in terms of a counter cool by scott because digital they're still there even if they are prerogatives in terms of that constitutional amendment which transfer of powers from the presidents to dam no more civil why did that completely de may have some cards to play in those for a get very good relationship with the pentagon i'm sure a lot of people in washington are horrified about the morsi move and they really are these are areas are really freaking out with a more civil because now they say that he has become an islamic dictatorship so there could be some counter coupes from foreign actors as well basically from the movie and brotherhood point of view they don't want any more frictions between scaf
1:09 pm
and the press that so we can say that for the moment this korea's muslim brotherhood won skaf zero the problem is the military even if it is relying now or rearrange the control almost forty percent of the egyptian economy egypt is has no money i'm betting in the long run that date will last egypt cool apps in terms of being practically default and then maybe later do rearrange another egyptian military coup and go back to power. he just neighbors rails concerned about keeping its borders secure with middle east regional instability with billions going to friends with a militant presence growing in sinai then and al qaeda working its way into the ranks of syrian rebels as well as feeling isolated amid hostile neighbors reports for us. as a result of the arab revolutions israel now finds itself surrounded by rivals
1:10 pm
starting with egypt you have a situation in the northern sinai peninsula that last week saw the egyptian air force being in kuwait for the first time israelis are concerned that you have all kind and linked jihadists 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 the mubarak and tel aviv 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 sinful control from within damascus they're also concerned that you could have chemical weapons falling into the hands of extremist elements in addition to this you have a massive control in the gaza strip you have his villa operating from lebanon all
1:11 pm
of this coming on top of an already volatile but dormant situation these are the 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 for this hear tell of his party. the development with the wiki leaks to the attack on the top was a blog sites moved online now its web page has been the victim of a major denial of service attack for over a week it's left it sluggish or accessible at times a group calling itself anti leagues has claimed it's behind the assault it says it's comprised of young americans concerned about julian assange his attempts to gain political asylum in ecuador was to rather slow scurries leader of the u.k.'s pirate party is on the line from manchester in the u.k. are the laws of internet freedom communities of generally of the past. thoughts of the wiki leaks mission let's talk about this actually it's a bit unusual isn't it well it is this is appears to be the most concerned attack
1:12 pm
and denial of service attack on the wiki leaks for some time now. in the records of this group and the league has claimed responsibility and put out some quiet in. the wiki leaks. in some kind of united states in. the amount of traffic seems to amount to. a machine now difficult to assess in any of the claims they would actually seem unlikely to groups like antibiotics a new group we're able to mount such a sustained attack but nevertheless it's not impossible also it is in fact possible to do this with fewer than one thousand machines but that would take some. or some organization so laws all think is kind of pointed towards
1:13 pm
a big of. this group. but we can certainly see that there is a concerted attempt to interfere with the whistle blowing site at the moment this comes at the time when the wiki leaks is actually exposing the name to a group of leaks. from the strand for males particularly. on the advanced system trying to acquire. more advanced. system recognition. scans scanned with cameras so activity then aggregate that. together now. actually been rolled out. and what if you played in the united states and even beyond. actually hoping we were all. kind of hollywood movie that
1:14 pm
auditioned for. me that we happening without. and indeed. mentioned to be focused on at. all that they're actually taking part in protest and actually just taking part of the democratic system of laws while this is all going on i could do was media is reporting of course the decision of scientists political asylum is going to be evident any time soon we're thinking it could be this week even what do you personally think that decision's going to be well it's very into him and would actually get the next twist and turn in the wiki leaks. the matter of the out find and claim it's of course a matter for the ecuadorian themselves and now in any case i think it's very important that the british government respect any result any decision that the
1:15 pm
ecuadorian government made to do so would actually send the very dangerous message to the government and also and also to dissidents and people cling on question well why. final thought the us of course is the same publicly how it intends to proceed in the case of doing this. takes a brave person to there we're going to twist and turn next but it is widely speculated that america's trying. to get him for these leaking secret cables do you think the u.s. will continue to pursue a science if it was to end up in ecuador what ecuador by the end of it. probably not i think it's been unfortunate that the british government and seem to wash their hands of. the entire proceedings. but at the end of the day and. the work when you leaks is bigger than any one person and indeed the track why
1:16 pm
revelations show why and why whistle blowing things show why we've been doing work with leaks is needed and must go. thanks for your thoughts laws carry the leader of the u.k.'s pirate party of manchester they appreciated. world news in brief bring it up to date with we'll start with the story in norway police they could have done more to say no to reduce the number of people killed by anders breivik last year that's according to the official report that's been released which blames officers for quote taking too long to reach a toy or island brevik admitted killing seventy seven people mostly teenagers in the twin attacks a verdict to be delivered next week in the decision is set to determine whether or not he sent to prison or to a psychiatric facility. occupy hong kong protesters have been ordered to leave their camps set up near their quarters of h.s.b.c. bank a high court ruling which gives them two weeks to get out says the anti capitalism protesters of misusing public space this came amid criticism that the tent turned
1:17 pm
attracted vagrants of the homeless inspired by the popular occupy wall street movement hong kong protesters took to the streets last october and at the height had hundreds of activists living near the bank. almost thousand people have been evacuated by ferry from the canary islands over night with firefighters are battling huge forest fires there. they've threatened some of spain's most popular national parks to strongly a thousand hectares of land so far officials actually say it could take three decades for the affected areas to recover spain's been hard hit by these forest fires after it's dry as winter in seventy years is. that if you saw it i did it was spectacular london's olympic summer spectacle came to then with a star studded closing ceremony many of britain's most popular artists performed at the event with songs from across the generations cheered on whether just by a packed stadium while international athletes for that of the century could really reform the union jack the u.k.
1:18 pm
look really good rate clever the baton was handed over to rio then the next summer olympic host with the next winter games due to be staged in the russian city of sochi cause lot of work going into that you can watch our sports bulletin later today for more than medals won and records set during the olympics. for over two decades turkey has been seeking membership a goal that recently lost so much of its appeal thanks the ongoing euro crisis financial gloom is cause some turks long term e.u. residents stared home again in search of better jobs and opportunities tesser is still a pig so this story. 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
1:19 pm
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 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
1:20 pm
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 when you 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 mali what happens is priority 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 this community it is 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
1:21 pm
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. turkey doesn't need europe it's europe needs turkey in a few years you will see that i mean 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. are lined up to breach a vast selection of stories daily and great pictures to right now the american network c.n.n. branches out as we're reporting is news no longer dominates is there a way to find out about the channels plans to start a new reality show so mind from us plus standing ovations in london called their nation home saudi arabia's first female olympians have been met with hatred in

a lot of my hands hurt my legs hurt too it's very difficult for me to walk around because of its extremely low wages bangladesh is one of the largest garment producers in the world attracting american brands from tommy hilfiger to j.c. penney to gap but the conditions at the factories are shocking low safety standards crumbling buildings and poor electrical wiring make working extremely dangerous 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 it's very clear that these factories don't care about anything except money wants dozens of workers may have each. month corruption between the factory owners and politicians extreme poverty and a slow justice system make it nearly impossible for western brands to be held
1:24 pm
accountable garments account for eighty percent of bangladesh's x. for nearly ten billion dollars one 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 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
