the syrian opposition office president assad away g.'s negotiating table but only after the government fulfills a long list of demands. the third week of france's military campaign in mali sees more accusations of civilian deaths and eight strikes human rights activists say they have evidence of multiple uninvestigated killings by the money and on the. virtual kidnappings ransom a new idea and cyber terrorism that's only a quick glimpse into the internet to find future from a top boss at google. this is labor ministry headquarters turns into a battleground as hundreds of protesters brawl with police over eminent tension
1:01 pm
kept. us in our life from moscow with me to bomb and say. the leader of the syrian opposition has agreed to start talks with president assad but has set a high price for opening negotiations. once a whole list of conditions met including the release of one hundred and sixty thousand detainees arches policia brings us more on this story right now paula what do we know about the conditions that mr cutted has said. well as you say syria's opposition chief was outed says that he is prepared to negotiate now this is a complete turnaround because in the past the message from him and both the opposition
1:02 pm
has been that under no conditions would there be any kind of talks or to go with assad's regime it is however a precondition and that is that one hundred and sixty thousand prisoners need to be released now what is clear is that the syrian president is not going to agree to this what is not clear is exactly how they reach that figure of one hundred and sixty thousand but it made this announcement on his facebook page where he also mentioned another condition and that was that the passports for exiled citizens need to be renewed now these announcements come amid no letup in the violence we're looking at some sixty thousand people who have been killed in more than a year of violence and just a day ago the bodies of dozens of men with their hands bound behind their backs were found along the banks of a river in the northern syrian city of aleppo it's not clear who was behind these killings it's not clear when they occurred or indeed who these victims are but it certainly is happening as we see growing clashes and confrontations between the
1:03 pm
soldiers of the syrian president as well as opposition fighters and we witnessing more and more postings on you tube of brutal cessations brutal killings very often being carried out by opposition fighters the opposition has always been strongly felt strongly against any dialogue with the government why they changing their tune now. what we do know is that her tips announcement comes amid international warnings that syria might fall into the hands of radical islamics if no solution is indeed found more and more the sense in the international community is that the country is falling apart and also that it looks as if the syrian president bashar assad is not going anywhere the un arab league mediator laughter brahimi told the united nations security council that assad may be able to hold on to power for now he also warned that syria was breaking up before everyone's eyes
1:04 pm
and also admitted that there had been no progress made in efforts to establish talks over a political transition now we're hearing the same kind of message come from example from the french foreign minister who has warned that syria risks falling into the hands of islamised militant groups last week france also said that there was no sign that the syrian president assad was about to be overthrown so we certainly witnessing this kind of concern being expressed by the international community it does reverse previous statements where we heard numerous people saying that assad could hold on to power for a long time jordan's king abdullah for example has also said that assad is consolidating his grip for now so what we're witnessing is western concern over the growing strength of jihadist militants who are fighting autonomously in the disorganized ranks of the anti assad rebel forces and that that is rising so what we're seeing is that enthusiasm for the coalition is evaporating policy reporter
1:05 pm
for our chief thank you for that analysis on that story. religious opposition send a clear message to the president they want to see mohamed morsi for urgent talks on almost a week of deadly unrest is meanwhile flown to the e.u. to discuss partnership deals and a visit shortened by chaos at home that's in a few minutes. and open to detention the team toss with shutting down guantanamo bay gets the axe while a probing into cia secret prisons around the world gets little cooperation. from. human rights groups and independent activists are raising the alarm over the rising number of atrocities allegedly committed by the mali an army as well as the french military assisting it government forces like use of multiple executions without trial or due process all reports i am measuring all french air strikes that have
1:06 pm
resulted in civilian deaths paris are launched as combat mission in mali almost three weeks ago under the banner of rooting out a slum it insurgency in the north west african state lou to have a newsday international consulted former deputy speaker of the building column and joins me live to discuss this further that now mali is one of the poorest states in the world do you think investigations and criminal procedures are just too much to ask for. if they haven't it's too early to tell because all the data are not yet in but what i hear now is hardly surprises me i mean that first of all the million army does hold a grudge against the people who asked them from the northern part of the country and secondly the soldiers of very low paid and had very little armaments at center as a they're not really a regular army and that's and as you say mali is a very destitute country i mean and it's always the same tragedy this country needs
1:07 pm
support yes this is a country needs are we why is it that this help only comes in the form of military invasions that's a basic question you should we should ask ourselves when we spoke to an activists inside molly says that innocent people are being accused of terrorism and killed by the mali an army but just how easy is it to determine real terrorists i think it's almost impossible as we just mentioned this holy. hardly a state apparatus functioning how can your adjusted people and examine what they do to you can't you just drown in a country like that so the only thing you can do correctly is if you think people might believe terrorist is hold them and arrest them and detain them what you certainly are doing is is this kind of action judicial executions but entirely surprise me that this is going on right now this was to be expected hundreds of european teams not being deployed to the area for training purposes will that help improve the situation knowing it's all it's all
1:08 pm
a matter of training to do what is it trying to have that to develop the country were trained to do even better what they're doing right now to terrorize their own people and no i don't think so that this is going to help now. there are also reports that a french a strike has killed civilians are we going to see more collateral damage in the fight against that islamists in the region but is just that's something you take for granted when you start a war and in an area like that where there's no such thing as military installations where where a guerrilla is operating of course you're going to have collateral damage i mean it's just a euphemism for terrorizing people and you can just you cannot just go and bomb a country like that there without knowing before that you're going that you're going to kill innocent civilians i mean people who do that organize it know that perfectly well but you see they are there for other reasons there are reasons that
1:09 pm

1:18 pm
discussed by the authorities the us claimed they could hold prisoners outside the us because then they wouldn't be subject to the geneva conventions and to international law and humanitarian law reports suggest such prisons were in existence from two thousand and two basically not long after the events of nine eleven the u.s. government denied the existence of these prisons until two thousand and six now the only country in europe which has acknowledged the presence of a secret cia facility on its territory is lithuania and if you were to look at it you will you will see something almost a deliberate site except for the imposing fences surrounding it likewise a suspected secret prison poland is believed to be located here apparently in one of the most beautiful parts in the country according to various reports mostly from journalists or human rights organizations so-called high value detainees were flown in by the cia for interrogation at these polish facilities.
1:19 pm
well it's clear that they have learned an aircraft used by the cia very important evidence because until then everyone deny these landings and reported different destinations of these flights to europe controlled however just like their american counterparts the authorities in warsaw have been extremely frugal with the details and investigation into the secret prisons has been dragging on for almost five years now but what is on earth during its course remains uncharged with involvement is poland's former chief of intelligence and security is big news to miss called ski this first high profile official of any nation to be prosecuted over the issue while this investigators have only one response to all questions concerning their investigation all the information has been classified as it involves state secrets which of course they're not allowed to divulge on top of that since the case directly involves u.s. officials one would imagine warsaw and washington working very closely together yet
1:20 pm
people who are privy to the investigation say this is definitely not the case the united states authorities have not helped the investigation any way in fact i can see article three. mutually glistens treaty between poland and the united states. they've refused to produce any information requested by the prosecutor therefore the extent of their investigations progress just like any information about the torture of prisoners regarding who wants where when and how all of it remains a mystery and the investigation is rumored to conclude next month by the looks of it whatever its outcome may also be a state secrets and swept under the carpet. bulgaria's government she is a country away from nuclear power i'm afraid a new plan to build with the russians help would make the curious the energy dependent authorities are expected to reverse the results of a low turnout referendum escaped the project sixty percent backed.

cannot even run his country how it works he left at a time when the police were exercising stream brutality with a lot of people killed in. the way of him imposing emergency law which which he's promised he would never would. so so it's actually has been present and i think he's just trying to secure an international relationship so that he can oppress the people. back in his country another case of abuse against russian children adopted by u.s. citizens has come to light investigators in moscow have launched a criminal case into allegations of sex crimes against a six year old has more on that. the increasing number of news of inhumane treatment of russian children adopted by americans is alarming to say the least but what's worse is that hardly do anything about it from here from across the atlantic
1:23 pm
and all russian investigators could do is launch a criminal probe here locally common sense says it will not affect the alleged child rapist at all quoting the russian investigators the family that sexually abused him had already been convicted by u.s. courts earlier for acts of abuse against maxime now mind you the word sexual never came up and they only got probation at that time russian diplomats are unable to be of any use to kids in such cases which earlier prompted russian to. live a law and that law prohibits americans from adopting russian kids altogether now live was an adopted child from russia and that he was left by his american parents or lost in a car and he eventually died from suffocation when the law was passed it prompted

service time is running out alternative sources of power have proven to be too expensive we've lost out on a lot of economic assets over the past years losing nuclear energy would turn us into a third world state completely israel has boycotted a un review of his human rights practices becoming the first country to make such a move it claims the organization is biased against it and the feeling of isolation is growing in tel aviv not only when it comes to international policies but the country planning to build more defensive walls on territories it considers its own as artie's. reports. if you were allowed to invest your money into israel's construction companies those supplying materials for defensive walls you would have probably made a hefty profit government decision suggests they will never run out of business and . we intend to erect a fence along the golan heights we know that on the other side of our border with
1:26 pm
syria today the syrian army has moved away and in its place global jihad forces have moved in therefore we will defend this border against both infiltration and terrorism. that would make a third defensive wall in less than twenty years along with the one in jerusalem and on the border with egypt barriers with lebanon and jordan are also being discussed all have the same just difficult security reasons israel built a concrete wall in the west bank more than a decade ago to protect itself from palestinian terrorism years on not only it is still dividing the land and the people but the opinions as well supporters of the defensive barrier pointed to a decrease the number of attacks while its opponents say that its existence in the first place is creating more grounds for instability political writer michael believes the west bank barrier may have been a temporary solution years ago but it's no longer proving effective just as the march braced friends with the sea knight peninsula that eventually failed to keep
