a different set to the stand he took when he first got the job he was optimistic in the beginning thinking that he could help pave the way for peace between the warring sides in syria also heard from the secretary general ban ki-moon has condemned the assad regime for all the atrocities they were committing against the syrian people but also the rebel groups and the condemning both sides saying that the choosing of violence and force rather than we've also. very few men rights and we live with the problem has been a staunchly critical of the assad regime and blaming condemning the regime for their treatment of their actions and this public she's also come out and spoke against the rebel groups and any other 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 killed you've heard from the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton as well as french president abbas romano both live expressing their support for the syrian rebels france has already been sending

aid to three rebel regions in syria as of recent weeks now with a lot of consensus from the international community on how to approach a situation as well as conflicting messages on the inside is responsible for the atrocities the support that is being given to one side versus another it's not hard to understand why block marber he has been calling his task now as nearly impossible. on the edge saying chief of the syria tribune believes it's not just western diplomatic support for the rebels that is hindering the international peace efforts. only if the countries backing their eyeballs and sending them what pins 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 it has a chance if not then i don't see any now when you say that you are supporting a liberal his 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 the year that the french president is determined to stand militia weapons and yet he claims that he supports a peaceful resolution. came across was happening in syria and efforts to solve the crisis and. it's been nearly a month since jordan our son was granted political asylum by ecuador but his no closer to being a free man refuse safe passage from britain and still facing arrest there his biggest hope now lies with his legal supreme. son his the man who indicted former chilean dictator augusto pinochet and has been exclusively telling r.t. about his new challenge so the details for us. he reveals

a little bit about this ongoing battle for justice to julian assange and 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 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 grant. free passage and that if he. outside the ecuadorian embassy he could be arrested for breaching his bail conditions so just where does that leave well in the interview with both as our guards on assad and 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 killed that's according to a few but nevertheless thierry reliable reports in this respect absolutely clear to

. the prosecution are we to enlist was in. freedom of speech in the u.s. now remember the silence is now being charged he's wanted for questioning in sweden over rape and sexual assault allegations one of the biggest criticisms leveled at today in a song is that his bid for asylum in ecuador granting him asylum is 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 extradition to the u.s. and they have never received those guarantees you know on a warning to the information we have about this case this case has no grounds when he came to the u.k. and the court had not your. traditional he just. told swedish prosecutors that. he was ready to cooperate and 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. . this is not rebellious behavior. as he said julian assange and his legal team have always maintained that there's a very real fear here that what he. did to sweden 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 song she's a spy he did was an exercise his right to freedom of information that he received and i'm much more surprised that there has been no investigation into the glaring crimes documented. featuring interference with issues that have

absolutely no relation to their national security or the safety of the american citizens of both sides of course very very eager to find some form of resolution but just when and how this will come when they are sixteen he. told r.t. there is no time limit to resolve this situation so it looks like this could be set to run and run but you can catch the full interview with julian assange his lawyer but also exclusively on our. still ahead for you this hour a price too high for the palestinians they are paid this trees on mosques as a living costs rocket with experts suspecting israel's hundred play plots. not being in shape until there is a halt sure it's being smart being educated is cool. but until that happens teacher come behind us and strike in style thing you our schools are seeing parents keep their kids at home for some living room learning.

that's later but now egypt's may be entering a new chapter but it's yesterday's trash white house cairo's residents fearing for their health after again in the state of flux since to prosing president mubarak tons of garbage are rotting in the streets of the capital and he is on a boycott. a revolution or a leftover that's already starting to cause a bit of a sting it took a gyptian one thousand days of mass protests to oust hosni mubarak yet in the each an insulin month they've encountered a far more pungent problem with residents don't wait for garbage collection instead they threw it out onto the streets and we have to. cairo has never been a particularly clean city but the growing piles of garbage have become a major blight on its revolutionary glory president mohamed morsi promised to solve 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. government and swimming commission violated the contract but there's a mature though that. for many years carter had its own environmentally friendly system of processing of waste for a small fee garbage collectors most of them christians one door to door picking up organic leftovers and feeding them to pigs that was until two thousand and nine when the pigs were called because of swine flu the mubarak government came off the some alternatives but they all collapsed alongside the regime. used to be these are going to kill me now we have to. put it in containers but the problem is how to dispose of it. from libya to egypt trash

overload has become a major visible change called by the arab spring and an unpleasant reminder that the previous governments were not as worthless as revolutionary spain for damn well this is this is. actually. i'm bringing you have the right credentials they will have. to 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 the old leader is gone the quality of life can only get better and it's only later when the basic services start to crumble and when things people used to take for granted i'm no longer there that

their revolution and their regime was deposed i finally getting a more realistic assessment of some of the weaker our city. and you can follow these and many other stories as also your call but here's what else will go for you there right now. because the culpable negligence on the eleventh anniversary of the nine eleven attacks that killed around three thousand americans there's a new legal battle ahead. and millions of web sites are inaccessible right now ours is up and running and where explain why and many others are and of course. it's the.

process facing its most severe spending cuts and decades it's sending present all along approval ratings into a nosedive elected he wants to understand is promising to rescue the economy within two years but says it needs a multi-billion euro council tox hikes including a seventy five percent on top. downs that whole loans is on the right road for bronze. he is in trouble and he. would give the impression that he was going to be as he wants a normal president getting away from the super activism. which are losing it was he didn't because he wanted to be kind of the president reside over a government and its daily business but while he's talking about the economy it's only gotten that you know unemployment is rising and we are getting more and more

happy at a time when the economy is shrinking. there talk us point eight percent growth or thirty thousand and thirteen. minimal. cut all of a sudden thirty billion euros from spending in france is an enormous growth but that's not just what thirty billion actually is probably forty or fifty billion when you add in the costs that are made by start what was the government earlier this year so it's sliced out of your plan to me. i think instead of bringing in growth that it made people in the recession hopefully not but it's not a very right you have right now on a roll and they can only hardships faced by europe on the wild in the kaiser report later this hour here on aussie. the palestinian and ministration has seen the biggest public protests in its history demonstrates has smashed windows and clashed with police running against

a rising living costs in the west bank and political analyst and the s. is in the neary says nothing will change until israel loosens its grip on the terror train the problem 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 palace in an affinity they try to sustain for as long as they can the status in an affinity but they have to add a big deal to that 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 they want that is a problem and leadership problem is when the leadership today is not ready to move even one step forward on one hand the nothing was hitting the palestinians on the other hand that they're going on the rampage in the settlement activities and that 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 work

or harvest their lands because they are in areas see that are totally controlled by israel so what kind of prescriptive can we expect bring me the best musician to take over from someone for your president 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. let's now check some other world news and brief this hour clashes between farmers and herders in southeast kenya have left thirty eight people dead more than three hundred farmers raided a village of herders torching houses and attacking police guards at 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 people. the majority of somalia's parliament has elected her son shaikh mohammed as the country's new president is a business professor and political newcomer who founded the opposition of peace and

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 rest 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 said felony 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 unit judge was unaware when it came to work or definitely feeling like they are repressing or free speech and and they're and they're really just wasting our time our our money and our time going through the process and it's not it's not fair it's not justified and they're lying about it the whole way through as far as after the fact they're trying to cover their tracks . from what we from what we believe it's simply meant to be

a long standing chilling effect in taxes and for occupy to be involved in direct action and other civil disobedience. some of the schools are by but there's class warfare across america the need to turn is beginning with modest teacher walkouts pay and conditions under rapid rise and parents deciding the best place to teach their kids is under their own for him and his partner. yellow buses and traffic guards are the general indicators that america's new school year has started. in chicago some twenty six thousand teachers carrying out a union strike in the streets indicate a problem for the u.s. education system. the city's teachers are demanding a salary increase and better job security but for nearly four hundred thousand students class has been indefinitely canceled in america's third largest school

district in the nation's first more than one point one million students have successfully begun school new york city's teachers have showed up but an increasing amount of families are permanently keeping their kids home. six plus five for five year old julian and his seven year old brother brennan water a routine school day involves a seat at the kitchen table. and lessons from mom or dad they can move on to literature such as shakespear they can move on to strategy thinking such as chaz music there's so much to learn if she's not here she leaves the plan of what they need to do the work and also with them to do it. kind of. hard core learning like guitar. sondra and gregory leon. have been

homeschooling their boys for over two years. a decision the couple made after researching new york city's public school system. where overcrowded under budget two jews are underpaid you've got forty kids in one room with one one adult and the kids are just not getting what they they deserve at that age according to the white house three hundred thousand education jobs have been eliminated since two thousand and nine due to state and local budget cuts tied to the economic crisis experts say this has forced public school students to lose tutors critical programs and worst of all a level of knowledge is necessary for success the epidemic of an educated young americans was recently highlighted in a report which warns that u.s. children are not to being adequately prepared to compete in the global workforce a study conducted in part by the center for american progress found that china and

india are moving greater numbers of children through their school systems and better preparing them for jobs in key industries in just eight years it's estimated that india will have four times more college graduates than the u.s. ironically four decades ago america was the world leader in education today among the top thirty industrialized countries the u.s. ranks twenty fifth in math literacy and twenty first in science nothing will change until there is a culture in this being smart being educated is cool you are a true celebrity when you are. that's not happening in america we can talk about money if you structure your trainee yada yada yada it won't change anything. actually there is a change more than two million american parents like the liang's are homeschooling

their children are reported seventy five percent increase since one thousand nine hundred ninety nine. a trend that some say may eventually be the best source of. preparation for america's future. new york. with the business steam arena you've been telling us investors are gearing up for some big decisions this week well stammered well i would say that if we look at the numbers is there from the pessimistic now i know investors i hate when we talk about their mood they always say you don't know how familiar and all inside my head but the figures are the ones that speaking and we're seeing a lot of rights are they in fact if we start with the russian markets they are reflecting what's happening across the board is pretty much a flood that's the general sentiment and all the figures we can see that the artsy as it's heading towards one percent in the red the my sense trying to ride beyond their almost over half

a percent there in the red this our oil prices are not helping but we'll get to that in the second let's move on and take a look at the major movers on the my six and there we have the top lenders for a bank which it which is setting over half of us on this hour now we know that sperm bank removed all this with investors about selling seven point six percent of its salt in this secondary public offering about we have carmaker sollars in the rye and that is going as standing four percent and that's after reporting about a triple with its force have a profit that's for this year of course and then we have roles in that setting that point four percent and that's as i mentioned oil majors i'll do particularly well because prices are going south we'll take a look at that in a second now europe is also trading of course and that's a reflection of what happened on wall street overnight in asia as well lots of red figures who see the footsies having a third of a percent germany's dax just behind there and basically the investment in forward to this week is on wednesday germany's constitutional court that sets rule on the

legality of the euro zone's rescue fund and then the following day on thursday the u.s. federal reserve for sets of analysis led us policy decision and many investors want to hear about it and. round of points to the east and we'll see about that now moving on to currencies the euro still strengthening against the u.s. dollar room when it comes to the ruble a completely different picture of what we saw on monday the russian currency is now losing against both major clients is that the euro and the greenback now if you move on and take a look at asia one final time for the day because markets are now closed they make a point seven percent and exporters were headed really hard in japan because of a weaker euro when it comes to managed to turn that around and add just before and and again investors are focusing on waiting to see what happens in europe and the u.s. they don't want to make any big moves before they hear any concrete decisions now

from move on to well prices as i said we've seen some losses and gains today right now it's in the next picture but we do know as i put prices have dropped from the highest level in three weeks with all that someone bus service where they're a bit skeptical about europe's a bailout fund and also saudi arabia has the recent spike in prices was unjustified . from oil they're here in russia of course is notorious for having a really expensive price sides but it's all about to change because of course russia joined the world trade organization which means up prices will go down and also they'll be more competition in the market which means new opportunities for global retailers and more options for the consumers. explores all of that for us. that are not a big name tapping into russia's rapidly growing retail market a good time indeed as russia have just heard the world trade organization and

retailers are predicted to be the first to feel the benefit experts foresee any influx of retail earth selling. and all of the market. 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 do some other taxes at the border so even the cheapest western clothing will 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 to 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 moscow. and it's our watch this for for the just next on the go shopping at such and such a. marina ok to mention that i thank you very much and on the way through and. lays out a tough task ahead of him. you

know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm trying hard welcome to the big picture. wealthy british style is a must but i didn't write it fine.
