an. the new international envoy prepares to take these peace mission to syria but at mit's it's nearly impossible it was really getting his way. also this hour the man appointed to save children and son she talks exclusively to aunty about washington's secret investigation against the whistleblower britain's threats and sweden's real role. from revolution to rubbish the arab spring also modern seas can whirling piles of garbage become a major blight in cairo is new york.

international news and comment live from moscow this is all she was me. thanks for joining us in the fresh bid to give peace efforts a breath of life the new international and world will head to the country in the next few days brahimi admits his mission has deep challenges worth pointing on the ground reaching fresh levels of cruelty every day most recently activists links to the opposition have confirmed the rebels executed at least twenty two pro-government soldiers last week in the flashpoint city of aleppo the man had been bound blindfolded before being towed but as to see the reports piece the times in syria are further undermined by foreign powers taking sides. the new joint u.n. arab league special envoy to syria lamarr brahimi who's been tasked with trying to broker a peace plan to wear the eighteen month long conflict in syria has just called his task quote appalling nearly impossible this is

a difference to the stand he took when he first stopped the job he was optimistic in the beginning thinking that he could help pave the way for peace between the warring sides in syria we've also heard from the web site. terry general but he has the assad regime for all the atrocities being committed against the syrian people but also the rebel groups and the condemning both sides saying that the choosing of violence and force rather than dialogue we've also heard from. human rights and the like who. has been staunchly and critical of the assad regime and blaming condemning the regime for their treatment of their actions and this public she's also. many groups armed groups that have been committing atrocities against the syrian people she said that all sides should be held responsible for all their actions but we've heard from the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton as well as french president francois along with expressing their support for the syrian rebels france has already been sending aid

to the we revel region so in syria as of recent weeks now with the lack of consensus from the international community on how to approach a situation as well as conflicting messages on whose side is responsible for the atrocities the support that is being given to one side versus another it's not hard to understand why block more brahimi has been calling his task now as nearly impossible. and the editing chief of the syria tribune believes it's not just western diplomatic support of the rebels that is hindering the international peace efforts. only if the country is backing their eyeballs and sending them what tins and money stop doing so we can have a peaceful resolution of the crisis if the liberal himi is capable of convincing these countries and they don't do it then yes and there's a chance if not then i don't see any now when you say that you are supporting

a mission to reach a peaceful resolution you should not be supporting sending weapons to militia and specially that this militia is well known for being islamic radical militia and for committing atrocities against civilians what's happening in syria is quite similar to what has what happened before in afghanistan in the eighty's and yet the french president is determined to stand militia weapons and yet he claims that he supports a peaceful resolution his leg. across what's happening in syria and efforts to solve the crisis at r.t. doc help. moving on now it's been nearly a month since june and our son was granted political asylum by ecuador but he is no closer to being a free man refused a safe passage from britain and still facing arrest there his biggest hope now lies with his legal supreme sagar son and his the man who indicted former chilean dictator augusto pinochet and has been exclusively telling us here about his new challenge south of the details for us. he reveals

a little bit about this ongoing battle for justice achieved in a science of course the wiki leaks founder remains holed up in the ecuadorian embassy here in london in knightsbridge and no real end in sight at the moment for this. standoff. remains very very firm that word cheerleader sounds to be extradited that would put his human rights a very real risk at the same time the u.k. has said they're not going to go. free passage and that if he sat outside the ecuadorian embassy he could be arrested for breaching his bail conditions so just where does that leave well in the interview with r.t. both as our guards on a sound his lawyer said that they're going to continue to fight what he termed a terrible injustice. the u.s. is conducting a criminal investigation into we kill that's according to a few but nevertheless reliable reports in this respect absolutely clear to us that

such investigation and prosecution of the two analysts was in essence just doing his job violates freedom of speech in the u.s. now remember julian assange says never being charged he's wanted for questioning in sweden over rape and sexual assault allegations one of the biggest criticisms leveled kid innocence is. for asylum in ecuador granting him asylum is indeed very much just trying to have a justice now his lawyer tells us that he's more than ready to go they have all the ready to face the questioning as long as he's being given a guarantee that what he fears the most wouldn't happen and that would be that once he was in sweden that he'd face actually addition to the u.s. and they have never received those guarantees you know on a warning to the from. this case this case has no grounds when he came to the u.k. and the courts are not here to rule down his extradition case julian assange told

swedish prosecutors that. he was ready to cooperate he would offer to come back for questioning and he's still ready to do that only now he's asking the prosecutor to come to the u.k. and question him this is not rebellious behavior. as he said julian assange is on his legal team have always maintained that there's a very real fear here that well he'd be extradited to sweden so that he could face a further extradition to the u.s. where some of the quine's that he could potentially be accused of espionage or as worked with wiki leaks that carries the death penalty in the us a very serious concern that his lawyer makes in the interview i don't think mr a song she's a spy all he did was exercise he's right to freedom of information he received and shira to a much more surprised that there has been no investigation into the glaring crimes documented in those leaked reports featuring the us interference with issues that

have absolutely no relation to their national security or the safety of the american citizens both size of course very very eager to find some form of resolution but just when and how this will come with a sixteen year old certainties as a lawyer told r.t. there is no time limit to resolve this situation so it looks like this one could be set to run and run but you can catch the full interview with kid at times as a lawyer but also exclusively on r.t. . you're watching r.t. and still ahead for you this hour a price too high for the palestinians they paid these treats on mass as living costs a rocket with an expert suspecting israel's hundred play plans. until there is a whole sure those being smart being educated is cool. but until that happens teachers can't bikes and striking staff in you our schools are

the problem in his first one hundred days in office but more than two months into his reign he's yet to show any haste in eliminating the waste. they said garbage fans were unable to access narrow alleys. small vehicle is yet the regional government and cleaning commission violated the contract with this image would go to that idea for many years kyra had its own environmental of friendless system of processing waste for a small fee garbage collectors most of them christians one door to door picking up organic left hours and fitting them to pigs that was until two thousand and nine when the pigs were called because of swine flu the mubarak government came up to some alternatives but they all collapsed alongside the regime. used to be these are going to cremains now would have to pick up all their getting material put it in containers but the problem is how to dispose of it that we have no place to process

it. from libya to egypt trash overload has become a major visible change brought by the arab spring and an unpleasant reminder that the previous governments were not as worthless as revolutionaries painted them well that this is all. very nice. actually. who controls who will ever. be tossed around. with fifteen tons of garbage dumped on the streets of cairo every day more and more egyptians are now starting to see the difference between the politics of revolution and the policies of responsible government the main assumption in all revolutions is that when all leader is gone the quality of life can only get better and it's only later when the basic services start to crumble of one thing steeple used to

take for granted i'm no longer there that the revolution and the regime of deposed finally getting a more realistic assessment of some of the weaker our city. and you can follow this and many other stories at home and here's what i also got for you there right now big culpable negligence on the eleventh anniversary of the nine eleven attacks that killed around three thousand americans as a new legal battle ahead. in class millions of web sites are inaccessible right now ours is up and running and we're explained why many others aren't as.

france is facing its most severe spending cuts in decades it's sending president or loans approval ratings into a nosedive elected as he wants to understand routine and he's promising to rescue the economy within two years but says it needs multibillion you were on tax hikes excuse me clearing a seventy five percent staying on top earners. does that all and is on the right road for fraud. he is in trouble and he had to give the impression that he was going to be as you call him so normal president getting away from the super activism sarkozy sarkozy he proceeded you know he wanted to be kind of a president be presided over a government without taking the state of the business but while he's been talking

about that meanwhile the economy keeps going down the tubes in unemployment is rising and we are getting more and more unhappy at a time when the economy is shrinking. there talk us point eight percent growth or thirty thousand and thirteen with. minimal to cut all of a sudden thirty billion euros from spending in france is an enormous flow but that's just not thirty billion actually it's probably forty or fifty billion when you add in the costs that are made by start close the government or earlier this year so it's a huge slice out of the economy. i think instead of bringing growth of friends it made people in the recession hopefully not but it's not a very great right now and difficult and all and they can only hardships faced by europe and the wild and the kinds of report next hour nazi.

they put a stand ministration has seen the biggest public protest in its history demonstrations smashed windows and clashed with police running against a rising living costs in the west bank and political analyst n.e.'s is a neary says nothing will change until israel loosen its grip on the attack which. brought them up to this moment is that the international community has been. as dean has been playing the role of the pay of they pay the money to the better seen and offered to they try to sustain for as long as they can despite a scene in authority but they have to begin to their own and that is to move from the payers to the players they have to play an active role in terms of bringing both the palestinians and israel into the negotiations table there is a problem a leadership problem in israel the leadership today is not ready to move even one step forward on one hand they're not negotiating with the palestinians on the other hand that they're going on the rampage in the settlement activities and if you look

at the palestinian and the average palestinian in the street they see their land is taken over by the israelis they see that they are not allowed to. harvest their lands because they are an area see that are totally controlled by israel so what kind of personality can we expect bring me the best magician on the to take over from sun and fire from prison a bus when they do it they cannot do it because the overall atmosphere around is not is not conducive at all for profit economic prosperity. and let's not check some other world news in breve this hour clashes between farmers and business southeast kenya have left thirty eight people dead more than three hundred farmers raided a village of herders torching houses and attacking police guards it's the latest attack in a string of clashes over water and land resources which flared up three weeks ago and have already killed at least one hundred. two senior officials who work for

activist ronnie garza is one of those facing prosecution and he told r.t. that the government's free speech repression is creating problems where none exist . it seems that it was it was a set up from the beginning because as obscure as this law is for some reason one of the arresting officers knew it was a felony and while we were out there on the road this was this was a arrest they made under a tent they brought out of a larger attention covered us before they actually arrested us but before they brought out the ten before i was under the tent already knew i had a felony charge because the officer in the road telling felony felony to everyone who was out on the road it's more strange that they were so ready and so knowledgeable of this law that the human judge was unaware when it came to the court definitely feeling like they are repressing our free speech. and their and they're really just wasting our time our our money and our time going through the

market they have chosen a good time indeed as russia has just an third world trade organization and retailers are predicted to be the first to feel the benefits experts for see an influx of retailers selling the barges and all of the markets such as american warehouse club costco or prime arc which is popular in britain before entering the w t o russia was able to defend its local clothing industry by imposing a fifteen percent encourage you to or some other taxes at the border so even the cheapest western clothing would be relatively expensive here in russia like this t. shirt for example it cost five hundred eighty rubles which is about twelve british pounds but i can see there are regional price tag on the knees and it's only eight british pounds of such in produce will be gradually swept away which means their original price tag will remain almost unchanged here in russia this will allow low

priced retailers to recreate the formula that lead to success abroad and enticing prospects as russia becomes europe's biggest retail market in the next couple of years but young people and businesses are to go. well personalized survive for eight pounds if that's even possible so i am waiting for the day and that's exactly the price. let's hope together yes. ok thanks for that and on the way julian assange lays out the tough times ahead of him. all.
