border shelling between syria and turkey as fresh violence there hits damascus with a car bomb exploding outside police headquarters. italians fear iover mounting cuts it descends into clashes while civil servants are marching for their jobs in spain . and venezuela varies for a new president it's all maybe it's an old one longstanding socialist leader who would charge as faces a tough challenge from a democratic opponent. watching

our g.'s or the weekly with meter on would say good to have you with us a compliment has exploded near police headquarters in damascus so it's not immediately clear whether there were any casualties syrian t.v. has already described it as a terrorist attack this says syria and turkey sent another round of a tillery shells over the border at each other a middle east correspondent policia has the details. for the third straight day turkish artillery has fired into syria this coming just minutes after a mortar landed in turkish territory fired from syria we understand that at least eight mortars were fired from turkey into syria now according to the mayor of the turkish border town where this shell landed he says that there was very little damage other than damage to a grain depôt but other than that had landed in an empty field and there were no reports of injuries it is the same border village with five members of the same

family was killed back on wednesday that was two women and three children when a mortar fire from syria landed in and was eventually building at the same time we're hearing continuing words from the turkish prime minister that he will not allow these kind of events to go unprovoked he says that if pushed he will declare war and that has been quite a strong message from him now that inspiring concern that this instability and on the turkish syrian border will result in regional instability there's also concern by numerous critics who have put forth the argument that they believe that the shells that are being fired from the syrian side are being fired at liberty in each remember that this rewarding area on the syrian side between syria and turkey is an area that is controlled by the rebels and as such it is possible that they're firing these these rounds deliberately to provoke turkey to go to nato and call for foreign intervention of course this was something that many people are increasingly concerned about the situation in syria after eighteen months of fighting is showing

no lacing up there continues to be almost daily blasts in the capital city of damascus and they're particularly cost suicide bombings have become almost the norm the same situation is happening in aleppo the commercial hub of the country in the north and there we're hearing of continuous heavy fighting and also in recent days in recent weeks we've witnessed an increase suicide bombings there were also receiving a twitter feed from the sheriff adnan out of not he is. a sunni muslim preacher and miss telephone's leader has become almost a symbol of the rebels fighting in syria he says that they have captured the cousin of the syrian president bashar assad we have no information on that at this stage and no way of actually being able to independently prove it russia continues to play a mediating role they are expecting that the e.u. in nato envoy to syria could be in russia later this month and as such will be there for talks but russia is edging comments saying that this kind of this

collation intentions along the turkish syrian border is completely unacceptable in any kind of cross border operations are to be found upon. and on our website away all skiing you whether you think turkey will send troops into syria from thirty four percent of you think un chorale will use parliament's a new motion to slam could issue militants in syria a quarter say turkish society all revolts against war but the very source for it among those who say it will happen if shelling from syria continues and those who think turkey likes nato support your vote at r.t. . but rain is keeping up its crackdown on pro wrestling protests coursing more fierce clashes between police and demonstrators on friday to gas and water cannons were used to disperse crowds violence started after the funeral of a young protester who died in custody here activists are demanding equal rights from the shooting more nike and the release of political prisoners one of them

prominent human rights defender in the village has gone on hunger strike he was briefly released to attend his mother's funeral but was not allowed to mourn for that with his family rajab is serving the three year jail term for participating in illegal gatherings meanwhile former c.n.n. reporter and when you are now believes her documentary on what's happening in bahrain was censored by the network. bahrain is paying c.n.n. to. create content that shows bahrain in a favorable light even though c.n.n. says this content you know is editorially independent it doesn't see the effect that what we've seen that with this documentary not airing and also with the constant struggle i had at c.n.n. to get coverage accurate barring coverage of the human rights abuses on air while i was there what c.n.n. is doing is they're essentially creating what some people have termed infomercials

for dictators and that's the sponsored content that they're airing on c.n.n. international that's actually being paid for by regimes and governments and there's by leads every principle of journalistic ethics because we're supposed to be watchdogs on these governments we're not supposed to allow them to be paying customers who are able to kind of dodge our minders and sneak into some of the villages and actually see these atrocities patients who have run out of the hospitals that were shot up with birdshot and as we were heading back out of these villages we were detained by security forces and buffering and luckily my female producer and i were able to hide some disks in our broads and were able to actually get out of the country with this content so you can imagine surprise when we got back to the u.s. and this content was airing on c.n.n. and right after that is when the phone calls started coming into the network complaining about me and trying to get my coverage. violence and unrest to chinese you to you this time it's

socialist states the truth is western europe is bankrupt it cannot afford to have the government be the major economic actor in the system and therefore just as we saw russian communism collapsed so too we're seeing the death of western european socialism. change almost all the same question venezuelans have to also as they had a president long standing incumbent has now faces the biggest challenge yet to change his socialist rule from where young democrat. from off with the latest we're in caracas where voting has finally kicked off in venezuela you can see a huge line of people stretching around the corner we're not even close to the polling station but the excitement here is a man and these people have been lined up as you can see the line of starting to finally move for hours hours before the polls even opened both candidates have been urging people to take to the streets to really get out there early to try to build

up a mass of popular support early because as soon as there is an irreversible trend the winner will be announced now what is at stake here on one and we haven't come and president hugo chavez who is really radically changed both venezuela and the region under his so-called socialist twenty first century policy the one about has translated to is essentially nationalizing certain industries using venezuelan oil exports revenue to really focus attention on the underprivileged the poor here in this country that's translated into social programs free health care education. communications housing and transportation services for people who really didn't have access for that and this has over the years built up a groundswell of popular support more than an officer for ten years and he wants to stay for six more years now his opponent has really seized on some of the problems that continue to plague this country this is corruption a very high crime rate. young a forty year old wealthy businessman who has criticized this country's economic

policies he's promised to improve ties with the west and could really radicalize the way this country's resources are run now critics here suggest and worry that perhaps you could represent a radical alternative to a child in economic lead in the sense that he could reverse a lot of those social programs policies potentially impose austerity packages on the country and really. take away some of the programs that the poor here have continued to rely on of course that is not what his campaign says but that is the fear you seek out in caracas venezuela. los is pretty soon all the latest news and photos from polling stations for us says long lines of voters a way to determine that all solve the next sixty follow her twitter feed and see updated on venezuela's choice for its political future. the pakistani ministry has blocked in the n.t. u.s. motorcade rally which was heading towards the country's tribal harbor along the afghan border the protests which began saturday's being led by a cricket legend turned politician imraan khan and as attractive thousands of

government has actually bought include the american war on terrorism the american war has now become our war and they should catch on all of the stores that are doing it but unfortunately not able do not able to handle affairs of the country let alone disturb the mission that has been be following our country and guard america's involvement in. neighboring afghanistan has also seen countless civilians as well as need to james the news of their lives played the marquis would look at the legacy of washington's war eleven years on and what has brought more harm than good. now these stories and much more off of this break and stay with us. in this remote siberians in which people still sing the songs which russians sang

which will brighten if you move about song from things to freshen. me stop totty dot com. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm trying hard to come to the big picture.

here without to have you with thoughts about the seventh eleven years ago the day the u.s. led war in afghanistan began over three thousand alliance ships have died in the conflict most of them americans far more afghan civilians have lost their lives to discuss the results of the. beijing i'm joined by international affairs commentator and manager of stop nato rick ross awful good to see there mr rudd's off the walls twelve was welcome by taliban statement claiming that nato forces are fleeing afghanistan in humiliation and disgrace do you agree. am defeat i think would probably be a better term this is as you remark you know the beginning of the two overseer of u.s. and nato involvement u.s. involvement circulate a little bit later in afghanistan which makes it the longest war in the history of the united states it's also the longest war in the history of afghanistan. and that

precious little has been accomplished on the boss of sons of course for the western military intervention in our the patient in afghanistan. most or you know arguably the only accomplishment dubious as it is as i don't be in production of sky rocketed under the watch of the u.s. and nato in afghanistan but in terms of achieving any of the objectives that. the west claimed they they were going to accomplish in afghanistan it's been a signal failure of the tragedy for the go down be. now i mean we've seen relations between the u.s. and afghanistan that you voting in the cost few months with dozens foreign soldiers killed in a so-called inside at what's false the local chiefs to turn their guns against their mentors so to say. you know evidently the afghan people are not on developing foreign boots on the ground and you know particularly after such a long period of time the so-called green on blue attacks you allude to are an indication that the rank and file of the the afghan population would like to see us

and their nato allies and the u.s. and their nato allies vacated the country x. this quickly as possible. just recently u.s. defense chief and leon panetta called on the afghan president to thank american troops rather than criticize them i mean he has a point doesn't a after all a lot of americans have died. over two thousand american troops have been killed the soldiers of the killed in another thousand from other nato countries or from nato partners of nations you know in fact and you know various honestly i'm proud of that statement is correct on the cards i ought to be grateful. to the united states and nato for profit propping. because government is unpopular is that as outside the capitol and even inside but in terms of the well being of the nation the afghan people have suffered not only indignities but you know bombing and helicopter gunships and you know unspeakable massacres of the sort that occurred in prague are brought in some markets where they certainly have nothing to be grateful

to label for coalition troops said begun putting out of afghanistan but well the afghan people being left as many analysts predict with a bloody multi factional civil war well i mean the local forces be capable of taking over the fight against the taliban those are two questions a second one i seriously doubt that the u.s. and nato constructed afghan national army there's a nato program which will continue after two thousand and fourteen out of straw down the western troops called the nato training mission afghanistan nato doesn't intend to leave the country but whether the afghan national army was capable of providing security for the country i think is is highly questionable it is a matter of fact it's not even questionable they simply will not but we have to keep this in historical context as we're talking about anniversaries this is in fact a conflict occurring in afghanistan that began at least as early as nine hundred seventy eight with the united states operating out of pakistan to topple the

government of afghanistan and to fight against the soviet allies and none of those . the barcode would have occurred in the first place out of nothing for the harder in the reagan administration straightened the war which you know they are separated out make and regional and other times she's inside the country and there's a mass and it's led to a twenty four year with the i'm sorry thirty four year old thirty four year war in afghanistan and we have to place the blame where it belongs you know this is the result of u.s. intervention going back to the late one nine hundred seventy s. . right just briefly on the last question for you president because i had. two in the future if he realizes he conquered with the taliban put american troops come back up to such a high profile withdrawal. i don't know that the american public has the stomach for that occurring first of all and any politician of this country barack obama these real are good or not true and if he takes his plays with such

a move or whatever where afghanistan's future lies of course is a regional cooperation again working with its allies in the region to do to ensure security president hamid karzai attended the shanghai cooperation organization head of state summit. in beijing and join him and it's there with members and observers and other affiliates of the c.e.o. of assuring our corporation organization that they're going to stands real future logs the sooner the west for that region and that means pulling out of their bases engine down on bob graham is where i was out of other military bases and his backers because they're going to start and the sooner members of the shanghai cooperation organization and their affiliates which include. iran and afghanistan you know the sooner. the regional security plan can be put into place that's a very right they thank you very much international affairs commentator and manager

off stop in may to break iraq thank you for talking to our team. south korea has signed an agreement with the u.s. which allows it to possess missiles capable of reaching any part of north korea a previous arms pact with washington restricted souls' ability to develop or deploy long range rockets leaving many targets in the communist state out of reach all guests to be old and as a specialist from london it believes there are hidden motives behind this. this new range will take them into china that i think has been the sticking point as the villagers in the neck of the now agreed to in. june it was american election everything slew of elections from the south koreans want to get what they want to build any more capability for for their own actions in december which conceivably my thing more peaceful down. the satellite test few months

ago that she had military implications because you facing the same sorts of rocket launches satellites you do this i'll. think of sort of past history i think this particular. spying as nothing very much to do with that satellite test it's just a problem on long discussions and both sides thinking this is a perfect time for electoral reasons to come to an agreement to extend a ballistic missile range there is a certain reason to talk for concern i mean all of us are hung around them there is another stage and things that basic isn't really thinking makes any any appreciable difference in the balance of sounds of power in east asia honestly in americans favor in south korea's favor north korea is days and weeks in military terms in

real military terms and we have to see this within the context of american strategy to contain china so the actual agreement doesn't really have any any functional. effect. now some international headlines making news today libya's recent be elected prime minister has been forced to stand down after a verge of no confidence from the parliament more stuff far afield for second time to win the lawmakers approval for a new cabinet initial cabinet lineup was rejected on thursday protesters stormed the building and called for the prime minister's resignation who was the country's first elected leader after last year's overthrow of kano. and last palestinian militant was killed and nine other people injured by an israeli air strike in gaza a craft targeted two mortar cyclists who israel claims where jihad is plotting
