in the eye of russia or any of the other bric countries will be applauded in certain circles in the west in reward so yeah i think it's all of it's all about that sense that you know they're in the front and russia is not for when you around this syria issue these sit in took place on the same day as russia's foreign ministry criticized qatar for supplying weapons to libyan rebels in violation of a u.n. arms embargo the u.s. which has a military base in the country has qatar's backing for its ventures in the region with syria now in play washington is betting high on doha qatar has been put forward as the arab face on this bullying operation tiny qatar empowered by the u.s. is now playing big striving to shape the turbulent region in its favor the incident at the airport with russian diplomats shows what happens when someone gets in their way i'm going to check our reporting from washington our team. well meanwhile makers in washington are calling for a review of relations with another pakistan they accuse islam about of supporting terrorist organizations it's freezing corporation that w

actually sergey lavrov also said that if because of wanted then representatives and observers from the bric countries meaning brazil russia india and china could also join them and be to foreign ministers of called on soon authorities to cooperate and negotiate peacefully with the opposition in the country but at the same time a russia's foreign minister has criticized what he says is a one sided approach by some western states to the situation there since according to him some groups within the soul hold opposition are using very hostile unpeaceful aggressive tactics which is only rocking the boat and worsening the crisis even further that stops russia but not to go to the opposite our partners who are calling on us to be decisive don't want to condemn violence committed by own dick stream is groups which have become increasingly active in syria in the city of homes several blocks have been occupied by militants they regularly attack army posts as well as administrative buildings hospitals schools police patrols and public transport i think there's no doubt that their goal is to provoke a

wanted monitors from the bric countries could also drawing them meaning brazil russia india china of course. the violence in syria that's plagued the country for nine months has recently intensified with the death toll now exceeding five thousand people according to the un's latest estimates but syria's ambassador to the organization has dismissed the allegations as incredible with some experts also questioning the source of the figures. there are definite questions on the credibility of the theory of human rights observatory particularly when it comes to the number of victims that they allege sherriff victims after the government atrocities. and you can watch our full interview with the specialist on the region dr rania massereene on our web site r.t. dot com where there's also plenty of other expert opinion on syria's ongoing unrest and all the latest news from there. at least three people have been killed and over one hundred twenty injured in the hand grenade and gun assault on a crowd in the building city of leisure police say the attack was carried out by a building citizen who

on your own is simply impossible and i'm we think of the united states and china and the other and bric countries they are actually interested in going to the world why should this neighborhood integrate as well in a place that used to be called the soviet union or they should i mean the logic is that should we've left out one dimension the political dimension and it's not only the political dimension within these countries that want to protect their sovereignty it's the fact that this area has become an arena of competition between the united states and russia and that is an obstacle in itself but this supports nicholai. point of view look what's happened just to take one small example kyrgyzstan the new elected leadership of kyrgyzstan has said openly we are staying with russia you know why well curious people speak russian the culture is shared of course there's an economic component of the energy but for defense even though there was an american air base there this new independent state needs russia they don't know what's going to happen in afghanistan when the united states withdra

the bric countries which are quite important economically and as trading partners in their own way hostile to a war with iran that means it would be the israelis in the arab world with the saudis wanting it but not daring to say so openly the united states and its european allies of course they could do it but the consequences would be dire not just for the region but for the all supplies the rest of the world who i am i remain to be convinced i still feel that what is going on is a lot of rocket arrive too late to scare the terror on regimes into accepting the west's decisions on it but i may be wrong it may be more serious than that in and if that is the case then i think the world would be in the grimmest situation for a long long time and you know you're kind of taking this more optimistic stance that perhaps if this all out all out war. is in and imminent but what about a possible repeat of libya if this war isn't declared but you know where they are thousand no fly zone and that ultimately led to war do you see that happening. the no fly zone was a stablish by the security council wh

if they wanted to then monitor this from the bric countries could also join them meaning russia brazil china and india of course. you're going to live in moscow thank you. for the violence that is going on in syria so now playing the country for nine months is a recently intensified with the death toll now exceeding five thousand people that's according to the latest u.n. estimates syria's ambassador to the organization has dismissed the allegations as quote incredible and some experts also questioning the source of the figures. there are definite questions on the credibility of the syrian human rights era terry particularly when it comes to the number of victims. victims have the government of . full interview with a specialist on the region. three of our website are. also plenty of other expert opinion on syria's ongoing unrest and all the latest news from there. watching our occupy protesters in the u.s. have clashed with police as they stage some of their biggest demos yet storming ports up and down the west coast thousands of activists frustration two major shipping hubs from cali

on the spot and actually said go over also said that if the moscow's wanted then monitors from the bric countries could also join them meaning brazil russia india and china of course. ok now let's discuss this further i'm joined live from italy by the main caller sort of the who's a professor at university thank you for coming on the program today so russia's foreign minister has called the western approach to syria one sided and inadequate you see any can inconsistency isn't what's being said in the west about syria. in syria in libya you know. this is a regular issue in these. media contradictions and to begin to really. try to solve these problems they are worse than power to. make these contributions was. actually. finally. my new technologies were used. on clancy's it's a mixture size of. violence against the peaceful so you know you mention the issue of hypocrisy and inconsistency here perhaps falls into line with what we heard today that seven syrian soldiers are being killed by army defectors and why does that kind of story fail to attract international condemnation like the gov

brics is hotel at the time was the safest place in libya because nature knew that's where journalist. but we couldn't stop thinking. what if they make a mistake. witnesses. to history in the making of. testimony. and stories that shape two thousand and eleven on r.t. . was the end of an era in north korea this week with the death of its veteran ruler kim jong il from a heart attack at age sixty nine his youngest son kim jong un has already been named as a supreme leader to keep the dynasty going the secretive states t.v. channels have shown thousands weeping in the streets kim jong il died a week ago his body lying in state in the capital pyongyang his successor was first to pay final respects the news has put the north's neighbors on high alert japan called a special security meeting fearing instability in the region while south korea said its military is standing ready independent journalist james corbett thinks north korea's unpredictability is being used by both china and the u.s. . the north has always been the sort of madwoman in the attic when it comes to east asian politics an

columbia university recently and i reminded the audience that yes it has been spectacular to see the bric countries rise very quickly however they need to be able to move away from relying on natural resources relying on cheap labor and and start innovating as the developed countries have in order to continue their growth and to change the. center of gravity more towards them so. we don't know if they're going to have some natural ways to work certainly there's trade that's developed between them that's been enforcing ties and certainly currency exchange settlements in the realm and be between china and other nations has started but that doesn't mean that. that necessarily the. cooperation would necessarily just start or end there so we need to yeah go ahead well i was just going to say speaking of innovation i thought it was really interesting reuters reported that actually china has moved to the number one spot for patents filed surpassing the u.s. and japan for two thousand and eleven so are we going to see made in china become designed in china and that really forge ahead as a leader

the g twenty we shoot of course used the potential of the shanghai cooperation organization and the brics countries the events of the past few months have indicated. that russia's role in solving political issues. with that we saw all these issues through diplomacy without any external interference and of course using the potential of the united nations proces to give additional input is to to gratian to see a process is. integration cooperation with our partners we need to have a government that if you only do that more i thought in a partnership with the collective security treaty organization and you know we will use all of the potential but you must give it to secure our borders we also need to use the potential of the customs union and the single biggest trade. and be thought in is that we now have an ambition task and i mean we are blocked on creates in the eurasian economic union that. it's we'll use the work that you've done if it's of our economies. and provides tangible benefits for all of our citizens if you have that way what could it be which is transparent and we're open to

wanted monitors from the bric countries could also drawing them meaning brazil russia india china of course. reporting the violence in syria that split the country for nine months now. with. five thousand people according to the latest u.n. estimates but syria's ambassador to the organization has dismissed the allegations as quote incredible. questioning the source of the figures. there are definite questions on the credibility of the syrian human rights over tare particularly when it comes to the number of victims that. the government you can watch our full interview with a specialist on the region. so with us also plenty of other. news right now. a deadly attack. at least two people have been killed dozens injured in a gun and grenade assault. on a belgian capital so what exactly happened what's the situation right now. well yes this deadly attack did happen in. about eighty kilometers from brussels here it happened around twelve thirty noon and that's around lunchtime this is in the city center of you could get quite busy at that time now what happened preliminary reports say that

what's going on there on the spot and actually said also said that if wanted then monitors from the bric countries could also join them meaning brazil russia india and china of course. well to discuss this further i'm joined live from beirut by dr mark has something he's an ambassador for the universal peace federation so russia's foreign ministry once again criticize the western approach to syria as biased what about the sentiments where you are in the middle east do you feel one sided pressure and condemnation is actually aggravating the situation as has been suggested. it is true i mean the aggravation of the situation is only one side the source for which is the being pressured by the west and the nato alliance actually towards the syrian sovereignty and their own independence now the regime is under huge pressure by international organizations under the umbrella of the united nations and the european union and the united states for sure and in foreign policy so far has being download i mean they are downloading all their efforts in order to put down the regime as soon as possible wh

moscow's wanted then monitors from the bric countries could also join them meaning brazil russia india and china of course peace activist dr mara salumi says the main goal of the u.s. and its allies may be to establish a more pro western regime in syria. i give a shit of the situation is only one side the so far which is the being pressured by the west and the nato alliance actually towards the city in the sovereignty and their own independence no that is he was under huge pressure by international organizations under the umbrella of the united nations and the european union and the united states for sure and in foreign policy so far has being download i mean they are downloading all their efforts in order to put down the regime as soon as possible where their own strategic interests will be implemented through another that they are planning to take over after bashar al assad which is the president of the current republic of syria will be over stood by the oppositionists inside syria on know the whole situation i believe it has not been so for it through peaceful dialogue as a as i am
