trafficking rings. on screen and online twenty four hours a day seven days a week this is r.t. and i'm karen tara well president mikheil saakashvili of georgia has admitted the defeat of his ruling united national movement party in parliamentary elections effectively ending a decade long monopoly on power the opposition michael block georgian dream is now tasked with forming a new government let's cross to say at a show in tbilisi for more on the announcement i would say what exactly did mikhail saakashvili have to say. really a statement is as sensational as the outcome of this vote you may eventually become he already said despite the voting both still continuing that he spoke to a. defeat and now will work in opposition but despite that statement there are

still growing concerns among the opposition members that the governing forces may still be stalling the outcome of this vote the vote count is going very slowly it's less than three million votes to be counted but ever since the polling stations closed last night less than thirty percent of the votes have been counted so far and also the international ngo called international transparency in georgia reported a very serious violation we received a footage of mosques to men entering a polling station in georgia taking everybody out from the polling stations and the that n.-g. o. claims that the result at this particular polling station was altered in the favor of the ruling party the u.n. am despite that still the vote counting still continues we are waiting for the results to come out maybe later during the day but we as it stands the opposition party is in the lead with a little more than fifty percent and the governing party the ruling party the unanimous trailing behind with closer to forty percent and as it stands if the such

result comes that to be eventually in the end we are in for the first peaceful transition of power in georgia ever since the collapse of the u.s.s.r. and was at stake for the two sides i mean how did the opposition mount such a strong showing. well it's the future of the country of georgia which was at stake because the party which will have the majority in the parliament all the alliance of parties will then be able to appoint a prime minister who according to new amendments by the constitution will have the same powers as president next year when socrates that is down basically saakashvili and response which proposed these amendments in a way that their own hold because nobody expected last year when businessmen eventually form the georgia dream party that anybody could post competition to the ruling party their rating was at the around seventy percent certainly dented move from the opposition unprecedented rise but a large credit that comes from the scandal which. in the september one the footage

of prisoner abuse and sexual torture in georgian prisons was released causing massive outcry causing mass protests in the streets of the georgian cities nevertheless the opposition seems to be winning this election and right now the people are celebrating as they were celebrating last night still given the past record of violent protests in georgia nobody can still rule out if this result changes then the people may take to the streets and we still may see some bloodletting action in the streets of georgian cities all right live from tbilisi alexander said ski who will also be tweeting and you can find him at a y r o underscore r t thank you alexei. well the syrian crisis is a result of a coherent collective effort by a gang of foreign states at least that's the message syria's foreign minister laid out for the u.n. general assembly he stressed that damascus remained open to a political solution to the civil war which is ravaging his homeland but as artie's marina poor nine reports that is not what the u.s.

backed rebels are aiming for. spoke at length about the ongoing eighteen month civil war taking place in his country he accused the u.s. france turkey saudi arabia and qatar of inducing and aiding terrorism in his country by those countries actually arming financing and supporting the opposition groups in syria he went on to say that the calls that western countries are making for president bashar al assad to step down is not only provoking more bloodshed in his country but he says it's also a believe an interference into syria's domestic affairs he said this success of any international effort in syria would require countries including turkey saudi arabia qatar and libya to stop arming funding and training the syrian opposition and to rather encourage dialogue so the syrian foreign minister will lead of course to

addressing the world body on the last and final day of the un general assembly he says that he is calling for a political solution and syrian led dialogue to agree on a roadmap to a more pool of florists dick and democratic syria but we heard u.s. president barack obama first call for. president bashar al assad to step down and then his sentiments were echoed by britain and by france just as the u.s. he says stood by supported and helped liberate the people in libya he would like to see the same thing done in syria but on the other hand you have many other countries such as russia china brazil and so on and so forth saying that there can't be any outside intervention into what's taking place in syria this is a crisis that needs to be decided and it between the parties between the syrian government and the opposition but as we've been reporting for the past week

everybody's talking about the crisis in syria but not clear how to exactly solve it . damascus says the in lines share of those flying as syrian rebels are foreign mercenaries some reports even put the number at over ninety percent beirut based political analyst roula palomas says this is also clear from the videos opposition fighters posted online. all the you tube. videos taken by by the rebels themselves those who oppose the. opposition pages on facebook and elsewhere you could tell from the accent of those. different accent from different countries in the arab world i mean the libyans and yemenis and. you know like different nationalities much less you can. actually during those videos where you see. regime slaughtered by

by those terrorists the saudis and the qataris they are playing russian roulette if i may say they would like to seize control of the. in their own minds the minds they want to create. throughout the region it's not good. they don't want to implement freedoms and democracy because if they wanted to do so they should have started in their own countries especially in saudi arabia. nato's chief has admitted the alliances withdrawal from afghanistan could come earlier than expected the statement comes on the heels of a flurry of attacks that brought us casualties to two thousand insider attacks on western soldiers are taking their toll on the troops morale as the secretary general they have also affected nato afghan relations as the alliance prepares to hand curity responsibilities to local forces middle east academic adman from the

american university in washington believes nato has brought afghan. upon himself. well first of all the issue of the difficulty of trying to impose. a certain kind of order by foreign powers and afghanistan the other part of it has to do also with the policies which have been pursued by you know. in afghanistan these policies have not really transformed they question underground they have not greatly improved the lives of bad people and they have not contributed to building up of afghan infrastructure as some had promised more importantly i think what we are seeing is that there is a sponsor from afghan population which to a certain extent is reflected by the counter attacks from taliban and its allies there is a great deal of resentment against that tax by drones which have led to the deaths

of many many innocent civilians in afghanistan we have in the afghan president himself karzai has called on nato to curb the separatists and stop them because they are ending up killing a lot of innocents and creating a great deal of anger an unfairness and power of nato discontent with every conflict has also brewing in the u.k. next hour we hear from a british have who wasn't banned from the house of commons for his fiery anti-war speech. the war is be prolonged by those that have the need canada that brought their troops home two years ago so the netherlands fringe new zealand is a coming out early absolutely no reason why we shouldn't bring our troops home now the only reason is that we tied in with the politics of the united states we don't

independent state we have to remind ourselves of that we can take own decisions and what we're going to see in the future is deepening trouble they'll be more slaughtered because of this whole of this fictitious fictitious aims of the war we've seen to collapse. five medics have been arrested in a series of dawn raids and bahrain after they and four other doctors lost their final appeal over jail terms particle part and program ocracy demonstrations. from the country's largest opposition party says the courts have long been in the rulers since pockets. international but isn't that national but is talking about as not just a sin but the whole process and not that it be and conduct is just in the control of the doors would torture the torture that these men wear not even

to the. station for their cause and the court did not know it can call up on them to be jailed for. either the ballista and when it comes to that people are. people who will be in subjected to. treatment or even killing the court just totally ignoring if there is a guilty. as you will find these a broker so it's just as for the second guess and they had to be in prisons like maybe their job and others even for just expressing their opinions this is their sort of education or not that if you are. now more bad news for bradley manning the soldier who revealed he was bolland stay in iraq and afghanistan is being denied the right to a swift trial his lawyer demands all charges be dropped saying the case is taking
