a very warm welcome to you if you've just joined us here on our t it's eleven am here in the russian capital you're with me to say the e.u. has agreed to lift the syrian arms embargo the u.k. and france let the effort which is not open the door to lethal aid flowing into the hands of the syrian rebels however some states oppose the move saying it would only fuel the conflict this is russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov and u.s. secretary of state john kerry met in paris to organize syrian peace talks are going to school has the details. you can say that it was the wind for france and the u.k. have been pushing for a lifting of the arms embargo on syria all along you have to know that at the same time all the other sanctions particularly the economic ones remain in place that means that every individual european state will have to decide whether or not they want to proceed with this shipment of arms to syria will have
3:02 am
a hey go right he said the lifting of the arms embargo is the only way to end the crisis which has been gripping syria hard for more than two years at this point having said that we have to remember that even the most of the e.u. countries there's a strong disagreement on whether or not it is actually a good idea to lift the arms embargo of countries like sweden netherlands and the czech republic believe that allowing weapons shipments to syria to the syrian rebels will only intensify the bloodshed in the country of course russia has been opposed to this idea all along certainly concerned about where exactly those arms are going to end up then are they actually going to be in the arms of the so-called moderate opposition or will those weapons end up in the hands of some of the rebel groups who are being supported by al qaida terrorists who are known to operate in syria ironically well while the e.u. foreign ministers were meeting in brussels the russian foreign minister as well as the u.s. secretary of state were meeting here in paris and their efforts were directed at
3:03 am
a peaceful resolution of the conflict also moscow and washington directing most of their efforts to bring together all sides of the syrian conflict to the table there was the first time that u.s. secretary of state has repeated a phrase that has been used by russia all along and that is that it's it is up to the syrians themselves to solve the syrian crisis they how it does seem like john kerry and sergey lavrov have agreed that they will exert pressure on different sides of the conflict that is moscow will work with the syrian government whereas the u.s. will try and make sure that the syrian opposition also attends the geneva peace conference which is due to take place sometime next month mosco also. wants to see so-called third parties participating in the peace talks and by the third parties they're talking about countries like qatar and iran who are not directly involved in any sort of diplomatic resolution of the conflict but are strongly expressing their side in this syrian crisis of course even though their peace conference
3:04 am
efforts are continuing we have to understand that. lifting up the ban on arms embargo to syria is opening an entirely new phase in the syrian conflict it could be spelling out a potential disaster which will only intensify further bloodshed in syria. as we've just heard the concerns being voiced across europe over the lifting of the ban now they say the arms a could easily reach the extremist groups fighting in the ranks of the opposition forces now allegations of torture and human rights abuses at the hands of the rebels the situation could now deteriorate even further arms supplies or could also hamper any peace initiative there are also fears that more weapons will only feel the conflict in syria now despite the lifting of the ban and to war activism richard baca says the arms embargo would never stop western supporters of the opposition. the arms embargo is a bit of
3:05 am
a fiction anyway they arms are pouring into the opposition in syria but for coming from qatar and saudi arabia there are undoubtedly be organized by the united states and the other nato powers where they really mean is that they want to send heavier weapons and because the opposition has suffered serious side effects recently and so we see it all out of push for as dr post peace conference approaches out of both a civil level and the military level to try to strengthen the opposition which is dependent upon the support it's receiving from outside otherwise it does not have any hope for victory in turkey syria that the leading nato powers the u.s. britain and france leading the way and that their allies are client states in the middle east have all joined in this effort in what is really remarkable about it is
3:06 am
that we have decided to try and so the concern for some of the for human rights and democracy in syria and qatar united arab emirates saudi arabia jordan these are all family my parents they are united in their objective of your objective is to bring down the government in syria to replace it with what it would be amenable to u.s. interests as tired of a strategy of domination of the middle east. meanwhile one of the strongest you is the advocates of the syrian opposition senator john mccain has made a surprise visit to syria for talks with rebel leader has. an independent researcher and right to says washington is not entirely sincere when it comes to peace and calls for syria. all these educations against us started in two thousand and three at least what's known to us openly and there was if lived an article written in the time magazine in december of two thousand and six which
3:07 am
mentioned there had been secret meetings going on and they cited some secret documents in which it was stated that the opposition was being nurtured in europe with the american support so this much we know at the same time we know that john mccain senator mccain is old he went to syria to meet with the free syrian liberation army was he really liked more than the opposition so america is involved in all this i don't believe america wants a peaceful resolution to the conflict america started it i don't think that senator mccain would take it upon himself to go to syria and research with the opposition how did how did not how did nod from the government otherwise he would be locked up the minute he returned. still in syria another journalist loses say a life reporting on the conflict a prominent syrian war correspondent killed by rebels my profile and the details

3:11 am
gone very quiet on all these kinds of topics they've got something like four thousand staff m i five and if they can keep an eye on the people who are very top of the watch list then there needs to be a real shake up and heads need to roll there the oversaw it of the security services really needs to be looked at there isn't any proper oversight and what these intelligence services seem to do every time is to hide behind the veil of national security we can't tell you what's going on even the inquiry that's been instituted into the failures of what happened last wednesday is going to be kept entirely secret and i'm afraid it's time for them to come out from under their shells and get a proper looking at so that this kind of thing really can't happen again and they're not going to play this game could assure you of saying we need more money we need more power and we need more surveillance of the general population because that all of the laws they needed to stop these people doing what they did last wednesday you don't need any more power whatsoever plenty more still to come on our sea including a familiar state we examine the egypt before and after the revolution highlighted

rule of us the present was the mubarak. members of egypt's army and police haven't voted since one nine hundred seventy six a move designed to stop them interfering in politics but now judges have said that rule and twelve other pieces of electoral law are in breach of the country's new constitution much contested but passed last december human rights groups and some of the largely secular opposition have welcomed the decision as they say all citizens should have the right to vote but some islamists and former soldiers are opposed saying politics should be kept out of the army and raising fears of politicians abusing a huge voting reservoir this all comes as egypt tries to adjust after decades under mubarak's control his regime was infamous for torture since his departure human rights reform of the security services has been limited now or president mohamed morsi is muslim brotherhood faces widespread accusations of moving into positions vacated by mubarak's old cronies largely because of political unrest egypt's

economy is now doing worse than it did under mubarak and mubarak's foreign policy imperatives seem to remain important to the current government to the dismay of some islamists egypt has also been the scene of a constant anti government rallies with violent protests over the rule of president morsi and the muslim brotherhood organization the latest event took place on friday with calls for early presidential elections while eskandar his vision for many egyptian news outlets think that the country faces the vehicle. of the ruling elite is only concerned with maintaining power. the great danger right now is that no reforms are done the greatest danger for egypt is the collapse of the economy and you know the the people revolting and the government not being able to sustain the rule the society needs to be based on justice in whatever form it takes where the resources are given to those who need it rather than the elite we

block is facing record unemployment or we spoke with a research fellow from the eggman institute to give us a bit more insight into what is happening here in europe. where i think it's it has soul to do with the current crisis is the fact that. the industry in europe is receding but it is a long term trend in terms of losing market shares in many countries so just to confirm that the almost twenty seven million if i'm not mistaken unemployed in europe it's still hard to find at least five hundred thousand engineers that they're saying now and i think the skill mismatch as we can call it is a concern but it's only a very a part of the problems in southern europe you also have the the cost and price competitiveness of these countries. you have the question of the mix of what you produce what you can export but certainly. skill mismatch is still so rightly pointed out thank you very much for that well if you just look at the industrial production numbers right now in the e.u.

to put a lot of weapons into the hands of syrian rebels this seems rather odd because many of the factions that are revolting seem like bad people to be arming in fact one rebel faction al nasra which according to the guardian is an islamist organization with links to al-qaeda is quickly becoming the most powerful rebel faction of all of them the b.b.c. even declared that al nasra has been designated as a terrorist organization by the us government itself as it started something like a bad idea to ship weapons into syria an american taxpayers' dollars yet let's just pretend that somehow all these weapons will magically not fall into the hands of al nasra well the free syrian army isn't much better they seem perfectly happy to use rape and beheadings and genocide against christian alawite minorities with great glee to get what they want arming radical groups always has blowback if you remember back to just the one nine hundred eighty s. the u.s. funded and armed the television and those mujahideen fighter guys and look how that turned out the u.s.
