the new international envoy for a prize to take his peace mission to syria but admits it's nearly impossible. was really getting in his way. also the mind appointed to save june and all songs talks exclusively to about that washington secret investigation against the whistleblower britain's threats. from revolution to rubbish the arab spring aftermath sees piles of garbage become a major blind or is neutral. russia

under on the wall this is as he was me you know thanks for joining us in the french bid to give see where is peace efforts a breath of life the new international envoy will head to the country in the next few days where he may admits his mission has deep challenges with finding on the ground reaching fresh levels of cruelty every day most recently activists and links to the opposition of how to commit crimes these rebels executed at least twenty pro-government soldiers last week in the flashpoint city of aleppo the man had been bound and blindfolded before they are character but as their reports peace attempts in syria a further undermined by foreign powers taking sides. joins me right now the arab league special envoy to syria a lot more brahimi has been tasked with trying to broker a peace plan when the eighteen month long conflict in syria has just called his task or the nearly impossible this is a different. said to the staff 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 that the choosing of violence and force rather than we've also worked with my commissioner for human rights and that we will live with the process has been a staunchly critical of the assad regime and blaming condemning the regime for their treatment of their actions in this public but she's also come out and spoken against the rebel groups and any other groups armed groups that have been committing atrocities against the syrian people she said of all sides should be held responsible for all their actions believe her from the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton as well as french president francois along both with 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 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 look marber he has been calling his task now as nearly impossible . and the same 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 he me is capable of convincing these countries and they don't do it then years he 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 yet the french president is determined to stand militia weapons and yet he claims that he supports a peaceful resolution his leg and came across what's happening in syria and efforts to solve the crisis as our see dark heart. is that nearly a month since june our son was granted political asylum but ecuador but his 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 are baltazar garside and his the man who indicted former chilean dictator augusto pinochet has been exclusively telling r.c. about his new challenge south has 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 julian assange free passage and that if he sets foot outside the ecuadorian embassy he could be arrested for breaching his bail conditions so just where does that leave well in the interview without. 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 what we can that's according to a few but nevertheless a very reliable report in this respect absolutely minor to such investigation and

prosecution of. freedom of speech in the u.s. now and then the tedious silences never being charged he's wanted for questioning in sweden over rape and sexual assault against and so one of the biggest criticisms leveled today in the songs is that his this for asylum in ecuador granting him asylum is very much just trying to evade justice now his lawyer tells us that is more than ready to go they have more than ready to face the questioning as long as he's being given a guarantee that what he fears most wouldn't happen and that would be that once he was in sweden 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. had not yet ruled. swedish prosecutors that. it was really to cooperate that 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 question 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 be extradited 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 is work with wiki leaks that carries the death penalty in the us a very serious concern that his lawyer makes in the interview and i don't think mr assange she's a spy he did was an exercise his right to freedom of information he received and i'm much more surprised that there has been known to get into the glaring crimes documented. feature of interference with issues that have absolutely no

relation to their national security or the safety of the american citizens both sides of course very very eager to find some form of resolution but just when and how this will come with a sixty here on certain days just lou it 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 julian assange says lawyer but also exclusively on r.t. . still ahead for you this hour a price too high for the palestinians they hit the streets on mass as a living costs a rocket with an expert suspect in israel's hundred play plus. nothing will change until there is a halt sure it's being smart being educated is cool but until that happens a teacher can't bikes and striking staff in u.s. schools are seeing parents cave their kids at home for some living room learning.

egypt may be entering a new chapter but it's yesterday's trash kyra's residents fearing for their health after a get in a state of flux is deposing president mubarak tons of garbage are rushing in the capital streets and his acts on a boy. 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 cleaning commission violated the contracts but there's a much of a go to. for many years kyra had its own environmentally friendly system of processing waste for a small fee garbage collectors most of them christians one door to door picking up organic leftovers 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 off to some alternatives but they all collapsed alongside the regime. used to be these are going to kill me now we have to pick up a material put it in containers but the problem is how to dispose of it we have no place to process 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 to damn well this is this is. actually. the. to bring in the right credentials they will have. to be tossed around. 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 and when things people used to take for granted i'm no longer there that their revolution and their regime we deposed finally getting

a more realistic assessment of some of the weaker our city. and of course you could follow this and many other stories that. go there for you right now comparable negligence on the eleventh anniversary of the nine eleven attacks that killed around three thousand americans there's a new legal battle ahead. plus millions of web sites that are inaccessible right now ours is up and running thank god and where explain why many others on all.

fronts is facing its most severe spending cuts in decades it's sending president all along as approval ratings into a nosedive elected as he was to understand on his promising to rescue the economy with and to yes but says it needs a multi-billion euro council on tax hikes including a seventy five percent top earners. in this barrier dollars that are long and is on the right road for france. he is in trouble and he. would give the impression that he was going to be as you call him so normal president getting away from to the super activism sarkozy would start losing people seated him 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 going down the tubes 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 to cut all of a sudden thirty billion euros from spending it. is an enormous blow but that's not just not thirty billion actually it's probably forty or fifty billion when you add in the costs that are made by start with the government earlier this year so it's a huge slice out of your plan to me. and i think instead of bringing growth to it made people in the recession hopefully not but it's not a very right you have right now. and they can all make hardships face fines europe on the wild in the kaiser report later today saying. palestinian leaders how not to discuss ways of easing economic hardships which that to the biggest public protest in the administration has seen so demonstrators

smashed windows and clashed with police and iran against rising living costs in the west bank that political analyst and the reasons nothing will change until israel listens it's going to attack. the problem up to this moment is that the international community has been. has been has been playing the role of the pay of they pay the money to the fettucine and offical they try to sustain for as long as they can the status in authority but they have to add a big bell to their room 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 to the negotiations they want there is a problem and leadership problem in israel the leadership today is not ready to move even one step forward on one hand the nothing was sitting with 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 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 economy prosperity. let's now take a look at some other world news and braise 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 is the latest target a string of clashes over water and languorous sources which flared up three weeks ago and have already killed at least one hundred feet. the majority of somalia's parliament has elected her sunshade the country's new president is a business professor and political newcomer who founded the opposition peace and

basically a pessimistic picture investors do not want to make any big movements ahead of two key events that we're expecting i'll get to that as well r.t.s. shouting over a half a percent of the sour similarly with the my six i look at some of the main movers own the maya sexify my top lender burbank has announced basically it's the sky with its investors to perhaps sell seven point six percent of its stake through a secondary public offering was see that right now their shares are dropping top carmakers sollars is rallying it's gaining over four percent this hour and that asshole's off to reporting that its first half profit almost tripled its amazing results for a company or and gold producer paul is gold also rallying gaining almost six percent this hour and that's after announcing that its shareholder in the role might sell thirty seven point eight percent i would say to another billionaire and that is cemented enough ok moving on see europe as i said investors are waiting for

two key events they first we have germany's constitutional court which is set to rule on the legality of the euro zone's rescue fund that will be on one's. and then on thursday the u.s. federal reserve is set to make a policy decision investors really want to hear about another round of monetary easing was that the footsies dropping a third of a percent and the german point five percent of mine in banking stocks there particularly badly and i said luxury good items are all doing really well either moving on to currencies the euro still strengthening versus the u.s. dollar and when it comes to the ruble it's the reason they gave both the greenback and the euro the sour as it has been since the beginning of the morning a quick look at oil prices very important for the russian markets for energy and then they have dropped from their highest level in four weeks to see the gain and bottom level wise there are no war they were at their highest point from the beginning of the week and this is mainly due to investors down to the euro zone's

industry by imposing a fifteen percent encourage you to some although 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 there are regional 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 business are to go. get them ready so maybe you can actually go down there and do some shopping yourself well probably
