recruits are preparing for what their instructors called 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. to four the me jury and the risk of an intended consequence is porous borders with its neighbors to make the flow of arms almost impossible to stop and lebanon's town of is one of the main gateways now behind me is the way to one of the illegal border crossings between lebanon and syria weapons fighters and supplies go in to syria

while refugees fleeing the violence come out by. no means a 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 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 don't 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 the new york times reveals that many of the arms sent to syrian rebels are ending up in the hands of hardline islamic jihad ists one of the leaders of the f.s.a. said yeah we admit that we. infiltrated jihadi jihad these are coming. from all

over. but we don't know exactly. 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's getting the guns. lucy caffein of r.t. levanon. libyan militia men aligned to the defense ministry have shelled the besieged former bass channel libyan leader moammar gadhafi now you might find some of the video or about to show you upsetting earlier on saturday clashes around the town of bani walid left twenty six people dead and two hundred wounded in the libyan army and the loyalists gunmen have blockaded the town for more than two weeks now accusing gadhafi supporters of kidnappings those inside bani walid say

we succeed in libya so we succeeded in syria it was. more important that you. u.s. intelligence says last month's attack on the american consulate in libya was most likely not premeditated or linked to al qaida some washington politicians previously suggested they saw it in the city of benghazi left four americans standing on line we more about america's troubles piling up in the country it bombed. more than one hundred thousand people turned out to protest against the austerity being widely imposed scuffles erupted immediately after the march hundreds of protesters broke away and tried to storm shops saturday's rally in the british capital was organized by trade unions and attracted people from across the country prime minister david cameron recently warned of more tough decisions for the struggling economy r.t. sarah firth was among the crowds. many people. left there

is. against the cause they say a lot like the economy that there are people from all walks of life there are nurses worried about the n.h.s. there are police officers all feed the room worried about cuts the front line services in amongst the people is seen many many families all across the age range 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 is paying the ground hearing fees i work in the tree sector and legal aid is being caught so we were very vulnerable people and i 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 i'm a bit of fear in the people who are it now because it's not just britain that's been affected the whole start because of your reply to the euro crisis rumbles all we see disparity i get taking great the specially in the last month in spain in greece all across the usa the people 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. they rally in britain echoed feelings elsewhere in europe with angry crowds gathering in spain and greece tens of thousands of greeks descended on athens as a nationwide strike on underway with police in madrid parents teachers and students march to condemn imminent government cuts to education and kept three days of industrial action but the hands on the purse strings are moving further away from national capitals with leaders agreeing to give even more powers to brussels with a deal that would bring centralised banking supervision but researcher jerome bruce says no summit will help solve the crisis until it tackles the root cause is one thing we've learned over the past couple of years is that when you're in the u.s. say something about this crisis that usually mean the exact opposite i don't want

to see the end of the first insight. increases that into depression good grief oh next to one of the conservative economists in fact what you claim to be the important thing for the forty five percent that you have regions in spain which are demanding secession you have actually new fascist forces on the rise in recent . move that we haven't seen since the one nine hundred thirty s. so i think really what's happening here is that this president actually is spinning out of the slow things are getting a lot worse and the summit. has to address any of the structural problems which include most important in the deadly embrace between an initial sector which is completely insolvent and a series of states which are completely over to another gaza aid ship sailed close to the wind has or else intercepted it and detained humanitarian activists and some european m.p.'s on board as they tried to take a vital supplies to stricken palestinians for details just ahead. plus

and immediately called nine one one because children play. it is truly an emergency 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. well to the. audience technology innovation all the moves developments from around russia we've got the future covered.
