the syrian opposition offers president assad a way to the 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 in a strikes on human rights activists say they have evidence of multiple uninvestigated killings of a million army. virtual kidnappings a ransom a new idea and cyber terrorism that's only a quick glimpse into the internet to find future from my top boss at google. reeses labor ministry headquarters turns into
2:01 pm
a battleground as hundreds of protesters brawl with police is what eminent mission . twenty four hours a day seven days a week and this is our team the leader of the syrian opposition has agreed to start talks with president assad but has set a high price for opening negotiations as met was once a long list of conditions met and given the release of one hundred sixty thousand detainees artie's policy it brings them all on the story now we should warn you that the following images are very graphic and could be disturbing. that's a complete turnaround because in the past the message from him and both the opposition has been that under no conditions would there be any kind of talks with assad's regime it is however
2:02 pm
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 how to made this announcement on his facebook page where he also mentioned in 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 a 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 soldiers of the syrian president as well as opposition fighters and we witnessing more postings on you tube of brutal sesame asians brutal killings very often being
2:03 pm
carried out by opposition fighters announcement comes amid international warnings that syria might fall into the hands of radical islamism 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 u.n. 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 and also admitted that there had been no progress made in efforts to establish talks over aid political transition now we're hearing the same kind of message come from example from the french foreign minister who has warned that syria is risky. islamised militant groups last week france also said that there was no sign that the syrian president assad was about to be
2:04 pm
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 wasted concern over the growing strength of jihadist militants who are fighting autonomous lead 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 anti assad coalition is evaporating. egypt's of the opposition's arms a clear message to the president they want to see mohamed morsi origin told to almost a week of deadly unrest is meanwhile flowing to the e.u. to discuss partnership deals on a visit shortened by chaos at home as in a few minutes. and open to detention the team

talks were shutting down guantanamo bay gets the axe on a probe into cia secret prisons around the world it's a little operation. 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 a french military assisting it government forces like use of multiple executions without trial or due process all reports i'm urging a french air strikes that have resulted in civilian deaths terrorism launched says the combat mission in mali almost three weeks ago under the banner of rooting out islam make insurgency in the north west african state would have honest international consultant former deputy speaker of the belgian parliament says that investigations and criminal procedures are just too much to ask for. what i hear now is how this surprises me i mean first of all the mali an army does hold a grudge against people who are stemmed from the northern part of the country and
2:06 pm
secondly the shows are very low grade and have very little dominance etc as a they're not really a regular army in that sense there's only. hardly a state apparatus functioning how can you rejected people and examine what they do you can't you just ground in a country like that so the only thing you can do correctly is if you think people might be terrorist is hold them and arrest them and detain them but you certainly are doing this kind of actually judicial executions but it totally surprises me that this is going on right now this country needs support yes this country needs are well why is it that this help only comes in the form of military invasions that's a basic question usually we should ask ourselves. london based activists from stop the war coalition lindsey german says of the french led military action in mali will only see the spread of extremism i think if you look more generally we were
2:07 pm
told in two thousand and one the war in afghanistan that will get rid of terrorism in afghanistan it removes the problems for the british and americans to pakistan then we were told suddenly al qaida has spread to the middle east now we're told we've got al qaida in the macweb now whatever the truth is about what exactly all these groups represent what you're finding is after eleven years of war on terror more grievances against western powers more terrorist groups more fife in the areas and until there is a political solution to the grievances and to the problems there. and a case of sexual abuse against a russian child services authorities in moscow seem just as well public feeling over the newly implemented ban on american adoptions are still runs high. identity theft cyber hostages online terrorism that's not a plot of

2:11 pm
decided to follow up holy sea of zero tolerance as it says ideas that existence to their state in measures show we have steam the government to take in medicine measures but they are unconstitutional i guess the very center strikes it now we have seen border collies worked very violently against a generally peaceful and calm demonstration where only seem the last three or four weeks a campaign of for propaganda try to convince us that now the worst has become that there is really don't believe that this is true is exactly because we are following this same set of policies over certain measures that the four three hears has condemned greece. of slow death that is recession of the economy contraction of the economy and a third source of measures followed by or vocalization of the population and also
2:12 pm
back to social rights i think that as far as what we're following this set of policies there's no chorus. egypt's opposition has called for an urgent meeting with the president and ministers to end the violence in the country and mohamed morsi himself is currently in berlin to negotiate a partnership agreement and plan to visit paris next but decided to head back home instead violent protests in egypt have been going on for almost a week and have resulted in a the fifty deaths thousands have been calling for an end to mosts rule clashing with police and troops sent to find a curfew order imposed in three times along this was canal blog and journalist while asking does says most he hopes to gain outside support to validate his crackdown on opposition at home. is going to the europe trip to secure funds perhaps for for egypt but but what will you do with the these funds when he's very
2:13 pm
hesitant and. they you know he cannot even run his country how did morsi left at a time when the police were exercising extreme brutality with a lot of people killed in the ports. so where is and him imposing the emergency law which he promised he would never would. so so it's actually has the president and i and i think he's just trying to secure international relationships so that he can oppress the people you know back in his country. israel building a great wall of its eye coming up with the song as a u.n. so on its human rights policies made plans just build barriers to escape it's tough to break.

five nine eleven suspects currency facing pretrial hearings. meanwhile investigations into america's so-called black sites are broader making little headway in a year's a long probe into coverage cia jails in poland in particular has investigators frustrated with washington not voluntary much help and as our reports even the details were forthcoming justice may not be guantanamo may hold all the headlines but all the interested it means people aren't moving their focus elsewhere so-called black sites secret prisons were established by the cia during its well publicized war on terror unlike the cause however these secret facilities were never publicly discussed by the authorities the u.s. claim they could hold prisoners outside the u.s. because then they wouldn't be subject to the geneva conventions to international
2:17 pm
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 the through anywhere 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 in poland is believed to be located here apparently in one of the most beautiful spots 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. i managed to get records from the airport in germany where it's clear that they have learned an aircraft used by the cia very important evidence because until then everyone denied
2:18 pm
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 some earth during its course remains unknown one man who has been charged with involvement is poland's former chief of intelligence and security is big news to miss causton the 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 people who are privy to the investigation say this is definitely not the case the united states authorities have not helped the investigation in any way in fact i
2:19 pm
can say obstructed the investigation by invoking in my absolutely. article three. mutual legal assistance 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 what 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 it may also be a state secrets and swept under the carpet. well gary's governments she is a country away from nuclear power i'm afraid a new plan to build with russia's help would make bulgaria as energy dependent on porridge is expected to reverse the results of a low turnout referendum which gave the project sixty percent back.
2:20 pm
israel has boycotted a un review of its 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 with a country planning to build more defensive walls on territories that it considers its as our. 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 decisions suggest they will never run out of business and if we could. we intend to erect a fence along the golan heights we know that on the other side of our border with 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 and that would make
2:21 pm
a third defensive war 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 beriah pointed to a decreased 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 out african migrants if building another turns israel into a fortress for shaft he says then it will be a medieval one. holds in the war so if someone is really.
2:22 pm
willing to. do it. and the last decision of the government show the craziness or the crazy philosophy which is behind me to create a normality for our children grandchildren. on the fortress completely surrounded by fans we are going back to. with this philosophy of creating a normal routine behind the war the war building business may seem profitable to some but financial experts say constructing these barriers consumes a sizeable chunk of the defense budget as well as suffocating regional development in which is part of the palestinian state but of their competitors it was excluded by the wall and now it is became. almost good to solve. part of the best because they are very sources of east jerusalem the wall for us
2:23 pm
is a nightmare and it is also very much them aging to their business environment the fence at the border with egypt can be excused for being an international border the golan heights on the other hand is only a cease fire line left from the israeli syrian warfare so not only it would not protect israel from any kind of mordant weapon attack but just like the wall in the west bank it could become another more humans to the indefinite occupation of territory conquered by force. r.t. reporting from israel. 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 boy in an american force the family. has more on that. the increasing number of the use of inhumane treatment of russian children adopted by
2:24 pm
americans is alarming to say the least but what's worse is that the russians can hardly do anything about it from here from across the atlantic 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 or to the russian investigators the family that sexually abused him had already been convicted by u.s. courts earlier for acts of abuse against. now mind you the words sexual never came up and they only got probation that russian diplomats are unable to be 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
2:25 pm
live was an adopted child from russia and that he was left by his american parents locked in a car and that he eventually died from suffocation now when the law was passed to. huge debates both here and in the united states whether the author and so would benefit from such restrictions while the local authorities in the united states seem indifferent so the fate of little kids adults a few from here in russia. more on how the story has been developing as well as expert opinion from both russia and the u.s. at r.t. dot com. all gary's government is expected to use its dominant position in parliament to keep in force a decision not to build a new nuclear power plant the construction earlier got sixty percent backing in a referendum but the turnout was a mere twenty percent some analysts that believe losing atomic power would lead to disaster and it drawn the question was put pretty vaguely no one exactly into their
