syrian forces were supposed to be out of in and around syrian population centers. tanks were to be withdrawn. the use of heavy weapons were to have stopped. we are getting reports from activists talking about heavy shelling in quite a number of places and attacks involving helicopters, gunships, artillery and tanks. in terms of the plan a sticking to its original timeline, it is very much in jeopardy. coming out of the moscow press conference, i do not get anything that tangible. the syrian foreign minister suggests that a ceasefire should be coincidental and coincide in terms of time with the arrival of international peace monitors. it is getting things completely out of sequence. the plan was the government would take the first up in pulling back its forces and the opposition would follow suit, applying a cease-fire that would take hold by thursday morning. and then observers would come in to observe an existing peace, not to be part of the civilizing process in terms of going into the combat situation. as i say, that indicates to me that there is no clear way fo

so whether or not the syrian -- the syrians are going back on their cease-fire and will change the russian position, it's going to be a very interesting question. >> daniel, thank you. jim, daniel was mentioning the diplomatic efforts going on, led by kofi annan. he's witnessing a refugee camp today. how important, how significant a role can he still play in this process? >> well, in the sense that if he now certificate fries back to the security council, his plan has come up against a syrian butler, then the security council, as it said in its unanimous statement last thursday, would be obliged to look at further measures as appropriate. so he is the man who will call the shots. we haven't heard his reaction specifically to this syrian demand. we know there's been a lot of traffic between him and damascus, and presumably the syrians have been putting these demands to him for written guarantees. bit as i say, those guarantees they're looking for amount to a complete capitulation by the opposition in advance of any kind of talks. this plan is very balanced and basically called for a cease-f

the syrian people have asked us not to leave. they have diplomats within the delegation in damascus. i want to say word about the engagement with the syrian opposition groups. it's a critical issue where i believe the parliament has an important role to play. i thank you for your efforts in reaching out to opposition groups. our main objective remains to encourage all groups to put aside their differences and work together towards a stronger coordination and agree on a way forward for an orderly transition that's both inclusive and democratic. they need to build a common vision for the future of syria for all syrians and affiliations. i have instructed to continue meetings with opposition groups and to reach out to minor groups to encourage them in this approach. the future of syria belongs to syrian people. the lives and their rights and aspirations must be respected. we need to do as much as we possibly can, but it's time to match his words with deeds. >> thank you very much for your speech. and i would like to give the floor.

if the eleventh hour for the syrians use fire plan but the usual distrust and suspicion permeated the country as both government and rebels refused to make the first step. and two years after the polish president's fatal plane crash in russia which impact of the turbulent relations between the two countries commemorations are held at the side of the tragedy. it is not i am in the russian capital you are watching r t joshie once a death row inmate now he is spending life behind bars for shooting and killing a police officer a case of former journalist and black panther may have jamal gained attention around the world he says he's innocent and for decades supporters have rallied behind him and what they see as a quest for justice are he is the first to be challenged in the world to speak to which of all since he was removed from death row and he gave an exclusive interview to us as he hear her impressions. revolutionary journalist and activist an honorary citizen in over twenty cities with a street named after him in france me i would you miles case is said to be one of the most debated

free army should accept a good kind of negotiations with the syrian official army so that when the syrian official army would withdraw from the cities there is that we can if you remember can guarantee stability and a cease fire so that the humanitarian aid can come in. the ambulances can do their jobs and so that we can prepare the ground for the next step that is national dialogue inside syria. recently one statement that was released raised the possibility of quote unquote further steps if syria doesn't implement kofi annan peace plan what do you think those further steps could be. well it depends who is not responding to the cause for the ceasefire but i think that this is a matter that will be discussed. in the security council and this is a matter discussed by security council members on a continuous level on a continuous basis. i'm sure that the russian. foreign ministry and the chinese foreign ministry and some other nations all fall who are holding onto the respect of the u.n. charter the e.u. and charter and the klinsmann's of the united nations called for a dialogue for peace i

based syrian social club. well let's start with the incident of the turkish refugee camp which is also were international envoy kofi annan will be heading tuesday do you think it's a coincidence the timing of. no actually. i was watching this is life i mean i heard some of the syrians people and accounts there were really discussed it was brotherly own there were discuss it was the n.c. the s.n.c. and they were saying things like some summer fiji's they want to go back to the syrian border they want to head to the army and this is not the only group there there is something going on and that camp. i don't know of some civilians being forced into some sort of or. to is kill of the situation to try to push them to the border so the syrian army or syrian soldiers fire them i don't know why the third. of all o.t. and the turkish police don't take action and stop anybody going near the syrian border or somebody want to go back issues should be organized an organized properly but the this is the incident is just to

it has put the syrian people in a desperate and difficult situation. it has outraged the conscience of all good people. and it has threatened stability in a very important part of the world. the united states has made clear that the assad regime has lost its legitimacy, and that this crisis has no effective solution without assad's departure. as the president has stated, assad must go. recent days are testing whether the assad regime will live up to all of its responsibilities to the syrian people and to the international community. restoring calm to the cities and towns across syria is just one test for assad in the days ahead. assad is responsible for fully abiding by the transition plan that has been outlined by the joint special envoy kofi annan. he also faces deep skepticism about his motives, a skepticism based on a long train of assad's deceitful actions to date including broken promises to his own people and to the international community. the united states is committed to holding the syrian regime to its obligations. we are leading an internat

secondly, is pressure being put on the syrian government and the syrian national council because the peace plan? >> thank you for sticking to your speaking time. >> president, there's no question that the european union and our european parliament can just look idly on at the slau slaughter that is being carried out of the citizens of a neighboring country. particularly when it's been ordered by those countries. but i think it's only right that we bear in mind two issues to put these into the balance with the other events. how many thousands of corpses should be put into the other part of the scale so that it has to be counterbalanced with democracy which will arrive subsequent wi subsequently. people have dayed in iraq. does that balance warpt bringing into iraq a democracy? and the idea now is to export the same model to syria. and i say no to that. we can't have the plan. unless it's done without the loss of any further life. we have to bear in mind the weight that syria has in the region. and don't forget about the support that china is showing for syria. we may not like it, but

-based syrian member of the opposition. first of all, you just heard him say he thinks the kofi annan plan is in grave danger. however, it does call for the free syrian army and other opposition forces fighting inside the country to also observe a cease-fire. are they going to do that to at least show good faith in the peace plan? >> yes, the free syrian army has a clear objective to protect civilians. it does not pose any real threat against the military machine of assad. if they were to withdraw, the free syrian army would have no jobs to undertake. it is unable to cause any threats to military capability. it can at best hold back a few ground troops. if the free syrian army -- they would by nature observe the cease-fire. >> they say they're waiting for you to do that and give a written guarantee. is that something that you think would be considered at all? >> it is extremely unrealistic. we have a military capability four international warfare. it is asking the free syrian army, who are widely armed, to give up everythin

the first ceasefire in over a year of violence between syrian forces and armed rebels comes into force following a u.n. deadline meanwhile russia calls for international monitors to help keep the peace. out of the frying pan and into the red payday loan companies offering purpling interest rates or replacing banks in debt ridden britain for people voting for a cash flow quick fix. and as egypt's first presidential campaign since mubarak's fall gathers pace there is criticism but the country could well end up with a dictator as its leader again. using common broadcasting to launch from the heart of moscow and. well syria remains mostly called after the u.n. brokered cease fire between the government and the opposition came into force on thursday morning a truce resulting from the mediation efforts of international envoy kofi annan is the first in the year long violence but as oksana boyko reports from damascus with mutual distrust between the sides he still remains fragile this ceasefire came into effect at six am local time and so far it's been holding syrian the finance minister promi

fire in the syrian civil conflict. closely developing us me following the developments for us here on r.t. peter so what exactly did kofi annan have to say. well he was kofi annan said there was still time for his six point peace plan to be put in place he said that beat the deadline of six am on the twelfth of april was still a viable deadline and he appealed to both sides both the opposition and the government forces to put down their weapons and to as he is to the point solve that peace plan that he was the the main architects both despite criticism from the west kofi annan the former u.n. secretary general saying his plan was still very much alive. i believe it's. true. to say that the plan has a plan. because i can't really hear anything. well the kofi annan also went on to say that there was no real alternative to the peace plan that he put forward and he had heard from the syrian government that they were hearing to some of those points we've heard that there's been a partial withdrawal of troops and heavy weapo

laugh proportion of the syrian people support president assad in fact. some records claim that it is the majority now even if it's not the majority even if it is an equal number or a large proportion of the syrian population then one cannot have a stable syria without dialogue and one cannot have a dialogue without a ceasefire so the the opposition groups or before called the syrian free army that is supported by western powers and some arab countries needs to. resolve this matter of priority needs to set its priorities. and to the international community and to everybody and the united nations is the priority. we have a stable and peaceful syria and to actually build government institutions and all thought of course it would be more graphic we form the order is the priority. it is change you're watching r.t. controversial us gun laws are coming under increasing public scrutiny the latest outrage at lax a legislation sparked by the killing of an unarmed teenager in florida critics say the right to bear arms and shoot in the name of self defense go well b

they call it the credo of the syrian revolution but if you call schoolkids was arrested in doubt last spring for the painting and they're feeding the protests to the streets for days and. the syrian military responded by rolling mean it's kind of given a year later the chief security officer in daraa is unapologetic demonstrators. shooting at civilians and of course their intention was to blame the government and those kids. food. things. but even among assad supporters it's not a view shared by everyone to protest in daraa and even seeing friends down by the military through the turning point for syria and in hindsight some syrian officials now wish they handled it differently. we made a mistake when back in the days we didn't give a chance to syria based peaceful opposition to express itself more freely some of them truly care about the nation and now we have to deal with the armed rebels the council in its stand bowl and then you have religious sects like the selfies or the muslim brothers. because nellie's no longer bound to meet your emergency law lifted the syrian authorities an

unlike some we're seeking to be friends to all syrians not just one part of the syrian nation from the friends of syria group should uni up to the un security council so not to this organization to judge about the effectiveness of koofi enhance speech mission russia is committed to implementing his plan and we are constantly pushing the syrian government to seek prompt steps in line with to finance proposal according to eat the syrian government be the first to begin to pull out of its forces this has been our position to hire we expect all western partners and some arab states to simply seem signal to the armed groups who are also responsible for bloodshed in syria. another reason the friends of syria group was criticized by russia it is recognition of the opposition syrian national council as the only legitimate representative of the country the us led group has now even reportedly agreed to pay wages to syrian rebels and defecting soldiers story of artists or of whom talks of ending the violence on the inside it their friends in syria conference. outside their intake this riot polic
