the lebanese opposition calls for move rallies in the country already by violent protests all after friday's deadly car belongs to an apparent result of this rain crisis. center a return to any old law civilians including children killed in libya as government cling to militia shell a town traditionally loyal to the old regime a gale to normally conduct it was code. of protest and scuffle with police says tears of thousands march against the stars here in london the clutches of guns in athens as greece suffered and i'm sure the nationwide strike souring the movie told me you crisis summit in brussels. and then you attempt to breach the blockade of

gaza that is the ultimate israeli forces stop a humanitarian ship and arrest of its own board. greatest news on the week's top stories this is all see with me welcome to the program sounds of people in lebanon are expected to join the funeral of a top intelligence official killed by a bomb in beirut on friday the massive turnout is being encouraged by the opposition they declared a day of rage against the regime in neighboring syria which they blamed for that time they swept sentiment on the streets already strained to the limit. reports. the situation in lebanon remains far from easy in fact it has been exasperated by the explosion during the rush hour of course there was

a horrific scene which followed and the almost immediately of course during the night the people started people started pouring out on the streets resurrecting the tensions between the sunni and the shia muslims which have been kind of a back burner for a little while in the country but now it seems like there is a go ahead to the tensions in the country there are calls from the march fourteenth movement to start to stage a day of rage on sunday and they are now openly expressing the fact that they believe all of this is the doing of the syrian government of president also that he is the one to benefit from the situation there of course reminding of among the people who were killed on the day itself a police official who was known for his severe and syrian stance now people are saying they said that they want the government to step down the entire government there is a sit in being organized in front of the parliament people are saying they're going to stay there until the government resigns however this is where it should be

mentioned that the prime minister has filed a petition for education to the president but the president refused so we have these acts of protest we have the people who are supporters off the killed officials who are saying that syria is to blame they're also calling for the u.n. peacekeeping forces to come in and line up you know on the border between syria and lebanon and a lot of people at this point already starting to express their worry that the conflict in syria inadvertently or purposefully of course there is some clear at the moment is being spilled into the neighboring country into evidence on. the lebanese opposition is deliberately going out onto theory of use among the population to use them as a political tool. but it's not very feasible and it wasn't very feasible that. the president assad was responsible for the assassination of rafik hariri in two thousand and five either but in lebanon that's not how it plays

out you know normal situation people would wait for an investigation to get at least a little bit of evidence on the way before making these allegations in lebanon political parties jump on the bandwagon and start to use these things to their advantage even if it's one of their own figures who's gone down there doesn't seem to be any interest in in seeking truth it's all about political advantage and it's unfortunate because it's whipping out exactly these kind of reactions armed reactions on the streets that is not a positive sign for lebanon. and in the midst of syria spiraling civil conflict more reports of weapons flowing into the hands of al qaeda backed rebels from below binny's border coming to life. reports now from smuggling sport on the two countries for. training for war getting ready for battle and possibly their doubts these young recruits are preparing for what their instructors call a campaign to rid syria of tyranny. some of these student to be fighters haven't

even held a gun until now. this is the first time i use weapons there was no need for them before the revolution now we carry weapons to get rid of assad. weapons have yet to topple the government of president bashar al assad but they're flowing into the country with ease it's a trend that has some officials worried. provide arms to either side. for the music and the risk of unintended consequences porous borders with its neighbors make the flow of arms almost impossible to stop and lebanon's town of is one of the main gateways that behind me is the way to one of the illegal border crossings between lebanon and syria weapons fighters and supplies. go in to see area while refugees fleeing the violence come out but by no means is safe or easy journey frequent shelling as well as a large minefield on the syrian side of the border crossings like these

a deadly gamble a gamble that lebanese sympathizers of syria's opposition are more than willing to make. this is five thousand dollars and this is thirteen hundred eighteen hundred and two thousand in tripoli r.t. spoke to this arms dealer whose business was booming. people come or contact me every day we have a revolution next door for sure we are with them will help them topple assad till they do it. the weapons may be easy to come by the harder part is understanding exactly where they go a classified report uncovered in a new york times reveals that many of the arms sent to syrian rebels are ending up in the hands of hardline islamic jihad one of the leaders of the f.s.a. said yeah we admit that we infiltrated the jihadi jihad he's a coming coolies who reports from all over the muslim world but we don't know exactly who they are back in syria both in the training camps and in the

battlefield rebels talk of high hopes for a bright future. i hope that there will be free elections that the syrian people will be able to choose the officials they want and that we will win back our rights freedom of expression and political freedom exactly what that freedom looks like may depend on who is getting the guns. you see caffein of r.t. levanon. journalist robert han it says syrians don't support the many foreign mercenaries who are fighting against the regime. we've had reports from pretty young bar sources like on to other french. medical charities who said that sixty percent of the people obama into in one area where they were dealing with terror dues were foreign jodi's and i don't know is there any doubt that they've been fed in there quite deliberately to stokes the rising against the syrian government and not just the troller so let's let's be quite clear that there

are an awful lot of syrians who do not want their country to be turned into another libya i've talked to the syrians right from the start of those i don't think they ever had that much support for many of the the syrians who watched what happened to gadhafi is libya and realize that if it wasn't perfect what we what they're getting afterwards is a great deal worse but they've always been aware of that and they're totally cynical about the west's motives for interfering in this and the gulf states motives for interfering in in civil strife in syria and the violence in series being echoed in bahrain protesters for the help of the international community hoping it could pressure the monarchy towards change but some like the same western self interest will ignore the will of the people. meanwhile in libya violence has resumed with new vigor at least twenty six people have reportedly been killed in the latest the time by pro-government militia against the stronghold of the former

regime and a you may find some of the following images disturbing the town of bani walid has been under siege for over two weeks and is suffering from severe shortages of food water and medicine and the there's new authorities also said that mr abraham a spokesman for the toppled regime had been captured in the area but later backed away from the statement and journalists accounts chandan says a years since kadar he was toppled it's hard to describe libya as a functional state. i'm getting numerous in europe well actually reports from residents of bani walid that indeed the first so-called non-government mccollum's of the state obviously is not a state is four hundred militias conducting mob rule across libya are are sieging but he will leave at the moment including with grad rockets and with chemical weapons you know at a time when human rights watch and amnesty the very organizations that gave the human rights cover for all the atrocities in the libya conflict have suddenly stated that the rebels are killed around over sixty of gadhafi is convoy

a year ago nearly to the day and execute a good argument one of course they did because it was all over you tube from the very first day of the libyan rebellion the atrocities of the rebels today we're seeing another siege before we saw the siege of syrup on the people of ben he wanted civilians to why isn't the united nations putting in one nine hundred seventy three resolution in this situation. coming up turns its back on the idea of economic strangling overran the country some ways to dodge the west and involve the export of tehran's oil by trying to find a new payment route. also last month seems the footballers of a top russian team to get to grips with another sport altogether opening fire using painful guns out of the players received a sinister threats from find. this later but now massive crowds numbering in the terms of thousands have filled the streets of london mulcher and goings the stairs the policies of the coalition government scuffles erupted in the aftermath of the

rally as demonstrators targeted coffee shops and the subway hotel the march was organized by the trade unions and attracted people from across the country prime minister david cameron recently warned of more tough decisions for the trunking economy family was among the. thousands of people have taken to the streets of london and announce we'll start see much all devised by the trade unions. many people. say it is against the cuts but they say. the economy and other people from all walks of life there are nurses worried about the n.h.s. there are police officers all feed the world worried about cuts so frontline services in amongst the people you see marching here today many many families all across the age range feel that they've been affected in some way by the continued cuts my parents rely on the n.h.s. you can see cars getting worse my son to stephen he's paying nine grand

a year in fees i work in the tree sector and legal aid is being caught so we work with very vulnerable people and they won't be able to get the same help from the next year they just protect the rich they protect the interest of the rich and they build out fear in the people who are it we marching against the cuts and she's marching for the future right she's worth it. marching so my future is banked now because it's not. this person has been affected the whole start because it had a europe wide effect of the euro crisis rumbles always seen a steady and get taken great especially in the last month in spain in greece all across the year are you saying that people are simply saying that they've had enough here in london i think that possibly into the hundreds of thousands maybe even more that come out here to march against the austerity. and one of the organizers of the massive protests paul nobody from the trades union congress says the people of the doubt with the inability of their leaders to relate to their plight. i just don't think the government understands the pain that their culture

and their economic program have been in communities up and down the country whether it's public services that you use your value whether it's your job that you worried about the future living standards even those people who work a full on over the last two years people who are head in and the culture where they're not even in the government's own tent they're not working the deficit is going up because more people are out of where the benefits bill is going up the only way to really reduce the deficit is to get economic growth going again and the getting to austerity plan is failing to deliver economic growth we need to see people back where investments in jobs investment in communities and their government lease it swallow its pride and go to plan b. because plan a just isn't working and i think we're going to see lots of different forms of protest people campaign in their local communities and down the congestion cases that will mean people take in industrial action. and authority was on their agenda elsewhere in europe this week the e.u. summit in brussels european leaders have agreed on a deal that would bring centralised banking supervision to the continent however

the summit was marred by fresh protests in europe turns a fastens of greeks descended on africans as a nationwide strike got underway clashing with police when protest the died of a heart attack i mean the scuffles in madrid parents teachers and students marched in condemnation of implementing government cuts to education campaign three days of education. there's one thing we've learned over the past couple of years is that when you're in the years something about this crisis they usually mean the exact opposite. end of the crisis inside probably means that it's been increases that went into depression greece by next year one of the contract to the economy the contract with roughly twenty percent with an employment stance of twenty five percent but you have the regions in spain which are demanding secession you have actually new fascist forces underlying reason. a move that we haven't seen since the one to thirty five i think really. what's happening here is the spread of these

actions being out of these little things are getting a lot worse and the solid complete need to address any of the structural problems which include was important to the deadly embrace between worlds a natural sector which is completely insolvent and a series of states which are completely oriented. dealing with the euro crisis means a lot of pressure as a present on loans case with jobs. jobs coming at him from all sides at the time when the french president intelligence from so i learned is called and needed by the highest socialite are terrorists and to move to cut the country's deficit was. a passion for fashion and the latest trends have been can't all be in the cities than fashion week in moscow had told website for all of.

nearly seth save the children and fifty other n.g.o.s are saying that to see the blockade has to end it is now its sixth year and they also say that there are. no water situation fuel situation the health situation is deteriorating dettori ating all the time. the build up of tension is speaking ahead of the u.s. presidential election the two top runners who will face off on monday with a long televised debate democrat barack obama and republican mitt romney seem to be getting all their time ahead of this vote but they aren't the only participants policy and independent candidates have to struggle for attention this week the green party's jeans was arrested together with her running mate while trying to get entrance to the latest debate that's despite the name appearing on eighty five percent of the bonnet across the country and mounts gave the green party is in pain

management believes the tea party domination is dated laws and corporate control the reality is that there's nothing in our constitution which prevents a multi-party system from emerging here in the u.s. but we do have laws on the books all across the country and we also have the actions of private corporations that have grown up over the last sixty years to prevent independent parties from challenging the two establishment parties here in the united states the laws that we have in the books prevent or make it very difficult for independent parties to get on the ballot to kill voters that choice those laws date from the cold war they date from the mccarthy era in which there was a fear of communism and socialism and they tried to make it very difficult for progressive party some particular to emerge here at the green party we have overcome many of those challenges joel stein is on eighty five percent of the ballots yet they're still preventing her from taking part in the debate if you look at the success of the green party despite all the obstacles we face it says that there is

a great demand for the greens people vote for the greens here in the u.s. . independent candidates will be getting their own platform for debate with the help of r.t. on tuesday and of course we're keeping a close eye on the upcoming vote so tune in on monday as we kick off our special coverage of the race for the white house. will there be war on iraq. china or is missile defense offensive. where you're trying to dance your selection of clothes october twenty second on our. b.p.'s board of directors is reportedly set to confirm the sale of its fifty percent share of the joint venture a t n k b p two ross net if the deal goes does go through the russian or giant could become the world's biggest listed oil producer in return the british company would reportedly get around seventeen billions of dollars in cash and nearly thirteen percent of shares its representatives are also joining us now the board of

we'll continue buying from them and therefore the financial arrangements are being worked out but i think now that there is a time for a regional currencies to gain ground and for trading to happen in our tentative currencies apart from the euros in the dollars i think the long run the trends will go on and the sanctions will not impact india's ability to have relations with iran europe is in a state of decline i need to in a deep economic crisis i think there punching above their weight in trying to impose a solution on the iranian question and i think it is fanciful to imagine that europe can somehow be the decisive swing actor in trying to force iran on to its means this impasse has been going on for years now and we would like to see how we could more hear from the threats of region change and this kind of warfare toward solutions. so they sanctions on iran will followed by muscling of its media almost dozen of tehran state t.v. and radio channels were taken off in europe next hour we'll bring you an expert

analysis on what's behind the buy. for accidents have been arrested this week in bahrain of the messages on the social network site twitter that criticize demonic aim the kingdom has been seeing massive opposition rallies as people demand reforms and accuse the rulers of gathering critical voices during one of the protests a policeman was killed by a bomb blast which was blamed on terrorists and for my bahraini and peace i had a cell week things also as his response to the opposition movement is way out of it . i do believe the our city of basra in the not enough might choose to understand their people they are gambling on security solution or are the politics solution they are using power by the their brain and logic the people in bahrain they have nothing in there to challenge

the authority but they are thirty they don't want to reach to the dialogue stage because if they reach the dialogue stage they will change all their agenda they will lose they are going to give the people more power they are thirty one to buy the time against our interests we are paying a lot to some people are killed some people are in jail for reasons that we can't understand like libya right hundreds of people they are jailed for just they express their opinion two or three days back they are said the children for the friday last friday what is that what is the manner so this is and less. oh there's the of the day and night sure to understand straight for the world to. jimbo's. let's now have

a look at some other international headlines hundreds of protesters have gathered on the streets of guatemala rallying against the deaths of six rule workers who were shot dead in clashes with police at the beginning of the models demonstrators symbolically remasters the violence with some of them even dressed in police uniform workers died during a march against story electricity prices and education reform. least twelve people have been killed and forty nine injured after a dual bomb blasts in a shia district of the iraqi capital baghdad explosions rocked a crowded market becoming a bloodiest incident this month in the country and this came after gunmen attacked a police patrol killing two security officers and wounding another. nod to the ugly side of the beautiful game three masked men have died paint ball pellets at footballers from the russian premier league side dinamo moscow during a training session no one was badly hurt but the incident has sparked an outcry due

to sinister threats made against the players actually as andrew farmer has been following the story. dinara as a club have issued a statement that says that these were the actions of idiots that unama fans have nothing in common with those that were involved but it is important also to stress that this has happened just a month after an extraordinary episode that happened at the training ground just as i say four weeks ago and then the club did allow some supporters to address the place and violent race in the hope it would improve performances and results the whole thing was recorded and put on you tube which we translated for you. now listen now. i'm warning you if you keep screwing up like this we'll show you some different treatment if we catch any of you in a nightclub enjoying yourselves the way garani and a boa spotted doing doing all of you hang out all the time will be out of you right there on the sports minutes so i mean once you've heard that you perhaps can

understand why they denominate feel it is the best in this image would come back to day in state at some of the plays are feeling frightened what's more the union for russian players and coaches says it believes the nama as the curve is actually encourage fans of getting the signal to fans that it is ok to shoot threats to the players in addition to the paint the incident that took place on friday leaflets were also left at the grand showing faces of court in our midst foreign plays in alongside their faces were the words we do not want charity in the villages anymore it would be noble warnings to get rid of them so you can say sounds very intimidating stuff on the general point you could argue that perhaps the foreign plays were show high like to get because they are among the highest in this club the number of fans the whole after straight to the moment because it is it same with great history in russia but it has lost what it has only won three of the last nine games of the russian primarily in that d.c.

worth the police's time but i guess it was worth their time because they showed up and slap the cuffs on the mother who claimed that she was there the whole time and of course to punish you for ignoring your children briefly while they play you'll get thrown behind bars because that makes sense where does this culture of fear come from if you leave your kids alone on your own property why does that mean that they are certainly going to die there are dangers out there believe me but living in constant fear abuses your children far worse that's just my opinion. the mission of free cretaceous free storage which is free to make amends free risk free. free. download free volunteers quality video for your media projects and free media done
