like the people decided international powers meeting in geneva called for a move towards a political solution to the red blooded civil war back in the idea of a transitional government but with syrian opposition claiming they can be no solution unless president bashar assad steps down here's a growing here in damascus that the latest peace initiative forward in geneva will only remain a solution on paper. also this hour german chancellor angela merkel is forced into a rare u. turn as italy and spain a window fight for love of warring rates on bailout loan. debt the european union's and bargain on

a rainy unoiled cake sent to ron says it's been stockpiling money and goods as a bumper again sanctions from brussels. hello and welcome to r.t. twenty four hour news live from moscow i'm you know a ship of our with the latest news and a review of the week's events first a transitional governing body is the latest solution put forward to end syria's bloody internal conflicts that a deal was agreed at an emergency international meeting held in geneva on saturday then says on the new plan it's for syrian people to decide the fate of the country for themselves with no demands for regime change r.t. as you go has been following events in geneva. it's been a diplomatic roller coaster from the start it's been going through ups and downs and even before this conference in geneva when russia's foreign minister said he

met with hillary clinton in st petersburg after that meeting he said she changed her position but then she wasn't really at the media conference following the. meeting to confirm that so it wasn't really clear that the conference in geneva much longer than initially expected and nobody nobody really knew what's going to what was going to come out of it in the end that they did end up signing this document sixteen months so a very long time and since the beginning russia has been saying this is an internal matter for syria and no outsiders could order you know a solution to the situation there and. it's a mystery why it took so long for the international community to agree because now it's reflected in this final document it took all these vetoes and discussions it's just unclear really why it took these sixteen months. we consider it the utmost importance that this document does not seek to dictate to the syrian sides how the

transitional process should happen politically how exactly this process will take place is up to the syrian people this document is very precise. well the idea of this plan is the syrian people and that's the most important part syria will establish this transition governmental body which will include all sides of the conflict with the authorities and all groups within the opposition including the rebels then. is that they will have a new constitution and democratic elections everything will be monitored by the united nations and specifically by un special envoy kofi annan is also planning to visit syria and for talks with both sides but the bottom line right now is that the international community was able to reach this understanding it's vital for this unity to be sustained and even if some new interpretations do appear then it's all inked in this document some of syria's opposition groups have already rejected the

proposal of the syrian national council described it as a waste of time ruling out a new rule of power sharing settlement involving president assad. and i think the country that. syrian opposition has already criticised harshly and agreements reached by world powers they we can't engineer to beg to be able to and the ongoing crisis the sixteen month loan crisis here in syria we've been hearing from both syrian national council turkey based opposition umbrella and free syrian army military we offer the opposition that can be no solution unless president bashar assad steps aside we haven't heard any official reaction from damascus so far but of course kept to says it is growing and fears are growing that the opposition now claiming they will not accept they interrogate him and if i saw it and his

closest allies will also take part in that that this latest peace should mr default in geneva with all they remain as solution paid for we have been able to speak to all of the people here on the streets of damascus and they've been saying that all they want is peace and security and safety to come back to the country they don't oppose as part of this government if only this helps to stop the violence here in the country this is indeed a very ugly conflict in syria and the ugliest thing is that if when children are being involved now in this crisis here's my report on that this may be. a place for these kids boys and girls is at the playground and someone dressed them in the middle she uniform hung them with real guns to teach them what to say and in front of them are now this little girl. maybe five years old and she's almost

crying as people behind the camera her and other kids to chant and just slogans out of nineteen kids for me. this is just me. and a series of clips posted online showing the ugly face of war and fold in the country recent u.n. report says both sides in the syrian conflict the rebels from the free syrian army and the government are using children in their fight. to look and see children a month through assad demonstrators. four year old or young as praise or whose motherland and this is a microphone the kids carrying not a kalashnikov. her young his father couldn't imagine that his youngest son is participation in apache arctic rally would put all his family in danger and lead to the murder of his other two children

and if they threatened us many times once they wrote on the house as well that the time has come then they sent me a symbolic loop then they put the picture of rwanda on facebook as promising five hundred thousand syrian pounds to those who bring him to them we couldn't imagine they'll come to our home and not let me in i mean in mars and wanted to prepare for exams and went to sleep in the reading of that which is not understood where they smash first they were shootings and they cried a lot barked at a time i hid under the bed. and i was crying because they killed years and i miss him a lot i'm unsure me is eldest son was shot dead on the way to hospital as he was trying to get help to his injured brother little rayyan escaped death only because that night he stayed with his grandparents in the us as me they wanted to kill a song like a hula and then see this is the government usually valinor if this is their freedom if you're not with. the funerals of the two teenagers had been on the guard

this is what they do here in syria the family says when someone dies as a martyr not mine instead it's not losing a thing that's enough to last a lot not ready to lose any more how you're doing some deed of a. your man has three more brothers left he has something to lose in this cemetery we've found at least eight fresh graves small ones but in the rubble kids are becoming victims of grown up games in this conflict they've been used as human shields they've been forced to take up arms and they've been killed for a purpose they barely understand and no one can say for sure how many more will die until a ways found to stop the violence. r.t. reporting from syria this week german chancellor angela merkel dubbed europe's for our nine or mr know will seem to taze defeat for the first time in years it was decided. to give brussels the power to pump e.u.

taxpayer money into failing banks without the government's having a say chancellor merkel strongly opposed the move but was forced to give in after insistence from spain and italy their leaders proclaimed a breakthrough this week also saw the ratification of europe's new fiscal pact which sets even top of budget rules and nigel farage the u.k. independence party leader says that merkel had her own reasons for making the concessions. it is perfectly clear that the brussels machine does dance to the german team and smaller countries are very frightened of going against really in the end what angela merkel says the focus always is on germany you know will merkel blink or not what germany is saying is that all the member states of the euro zone should abolish their democracies should abolish their independence surrender their birth rights and give it all to a super bureaucrat to push on to a full fiscal union to a full political union indeed to be union that will be absolutely dominated by

germany and some what's a magic formula giving away control of everything to one person will solve everything. moco faces strong backlash in her homeland were some lawmakers filed suit saying the fiscal pact intrudes on the powers of german deputies and at a grassroots level the german people who drive the economy are unhappy about giving bailouts to other nations as well and avoid reports it's a job interview with geopolitical implications and genesis family has been running these greek restaurant for almost three decades ever since they immigrated to germany hard work and self-reliance made it is success but now they are under increasing pressure to share the fruits of their labor. the problem is that in greece that. they come here and like the money in the street but we're also working very hard. working from the morning till night every deed to get

a dozen of calls from their greek can patcher it with requests for money jobs of both some like. takis just walk in a restaurant owner himself he lost his business last year and ever since has been out of permanent work like about twenty two percent of greeks there is the second world war and destroy. our country from troops so they'll be a million people is the german. not to help but to while references to the countries nats of past have appeared more than once in the great coverage of the bailout germans remain and swayed in their position to pay for somebody else's debts polls consistently show that the majority of germans are stronger against finance increases or spain's bailout is one customer of this restaurant put it before placing an order one should check not only the menu but

also his wallet some say this bleed of opinions between departure and the public represents a test of germany's democratic system democracy begins at home begins in the last begins. really begins in italy and spain we have a national parliament and. it. and if there's a common currency is is taking. decisions in terms of money in terms of budget it's a violation of democracy and now and very certain about now. is destroying democracy they see peace to be hardworking but in the case if europe's most productive country seems just never stopped coming in the wake artsy reporting from germany. tehran says it's made preparations as

a buffer against sanctions from brussels as the european union embargo on a reign all comes into force the e.u. sanctions came into power on sunday right after the u.s. introduced its own measures but it's produced little effect so far earing in officials are reported to have boasted that because of america's extensive waivers sailing oil remains no problem and afshin rattansi author and journalist says b u is already suffering from its destruction of. iran all we need to replace all the oil exports to europe with their customers whether they be in latin america or knows notably china because it was the u.s. has examined china and the chinese foreign minister is already on record as saying that these unilateral sanctions are outrageous and and wrong johnnie's oil imports crude oil imports from iran rose thirty five percent back in two thousand and eleven levels it seems that the united states presumably again lobbied by israel

which is to be running its foreign policy wants to do this at the same time as the great economic crisis in europe is causing havoc increase oil prices certainly going to make not only the euro but european finances suffer so this isn't going to help the world economy and it's certainly not having any impact on iran. around three hundred armed protesters have reportedly storms the united nation office and leave a city of benghazi destroying computers and burning verging material outside the incident comes just days before the country's first direct pull for congress which will be targeted to oversee a new government once elected but activist and journalist succumbed to chandan says there's little sign of a democratic process the elections are about to come about in libya in a few days but i don't think it's a sign of any democratic progress in libya because all indicators which should be there which would lead to you know that

a healthy democracy would be taking place are absent so what we have is that is the relative persecution of women's rights relative to what happened in the gadhafi persecution of all dark skin libyans who are being persecuted on the basis that they are loyal by and by but by dint of the pigmentation of this skin to gadhafi we have tribal warfare girl or we have four hundred militias all across libya there is no there's no law and order there's no security and so this is this is far from any basis awkward for people focus democracy but this is the nature of the m.t.c. nato democracy and this is the nature of the democracy that nato want to bring to all the peoples of the global south. the government of mali has appeals to the united nations to take action after al-qaeda linked extremists destroyed holy sites in the city of timbuktu the west african nation has seen constant attacks since it was taken over by a military gender in march middle east expert of the army as a kiwi blames the nato backed revolution in neighboring leave it for the violence

in mali. all of this of course is belated to a war that was waged against libya last year doing twenty eleven which brought about the displacement of many of the two iraq forces who have been settled in libya for many many years they were well armed and of course with them entering the situation inside of northern mali is further destabilize and polarize the situation and sap and know what the currents are and of course affected the capital up of mochel as well if the us had not in a beam in libya last year we would not happy current situation that we have right now in mali. the deadline for julian assange as extradition to sweden has passed but the whistleblower remains holed up in ecuador's embassy in london has defined a british police demands to turn himself in a way through a decision on his asylum plea acquittals president says considering the request takes time that he has to weigh all possible outcomes songes main fear is that

sweden might hand him over to the u.s. we'll have that phrase the death penalty for publishing leaked american secrets meanwhile a court order in embassies around the globe received schools of messages with calls to approve their people and civil adman's they found over national security whistleblowers coalition says the u.s. is ready to pull any strings to prevent the wiki leak is escape. mostly what's happening right now is the political side and you have to realize that they may be and this is the ecuador. letters that the titians activists around the world put on the other hand they are also getting a list of also made them sent tracts from the united states so the rest assured they right now as we speak the state department is. ecuador plenty to think about by showing what kind of consequences they will be facing whether it's the economic or whether it's political and so this is the reason they are taking this long and

we are hoping that their decision would be yes they would grant asylum to giuliana son but considering their weight the united states carries also considering the history of our nation in terms of the types of measures they take to put pressure on the other governments it will remain to be seen. don't forget that julian assange hosts his own interview program right here on i'll see the latest edition goes an eye on tuesday and if you've missed any that all available online at www dot altie dot com. i'm julian assange. it is through here it will be expose the world secrets these documents belong the united states government being attacked by the united states strongly condemned. illegally shoot five hundred days now i've been detained without charge. that hasn't stopped. the day we're on

a quest for relief ideas that can change the world tomorrow. this week seventeen pakistani soldiers were captured on the beheaded by a ton of on military seven more died in a separate roadside bombing exposed believe the country is paying a high price for helping the u.s. and its fight against islamist in afghanistan but has gotten reports it's a war that wouldn't have been possible without pakistan's support. it's not only u.s. bombs that fly in pakistan but also the stream of demands and accusations from washington there are several things that where asking the pakistanis to do more and better number one they've got to do more about the safe havens inside their own country even ridicule the u.s. defense secretary has laughed at pakistan for being in the dark on the bin laden raid.

one. little in washington's rhetoric now suggest that during the decade of war in afghanistan pakistan had been there myself instrumental ally in the region the united states could not have had secured afghanistan in three weeks with minimum cost in terms of. money and in terms of in terms of the lives of its soldiers that would not have been possible without blacks and the assistance and help free sentiment towards the alliance with the us has fueled domestic insurgency in pakistan some has lost about somewhere between five thousand to six thousand soldiers and paramilitary soldiers but more than that we've lost more than thirty five thousand civilians and these people died because of these bait of bombings in a crude comparison the us has lost two thousand troops in afghanistan they want the

pakistanis to do our dirty work for us and the pakistanis have simply said we've supported you forward eleven years we can't do it anymore you're killing our stability they have to stop the civil war in the country they have to stop the war that's going on on their own territory because of their help for the united states so they have a number of problems which i think amount to a mass and they're going to be left high and dry when we leave many washington see a different picture of a country that does not fully do their. in exchange for the billions they'd sent them were given taxpayer money to this country which is not treating us right but we made a mistake we were we have trusted pakistan way too long the pakistanis see another mistake there's one mistake that we've committed we've put all our eggs in the american basket and part of the deterioration in our job is to teach position over the past decade since two thousand and one is because of this fact that we completely relied on the americans and it's not the first time they've before as

well but but so to speak we made this mistake and we're trying to know correct that mistake pakistan is now working hard on its regional alliances primarily with china but the u.s. still needs pakistan washington has been able to continue drone strikes in pakistan likely because of its military leaders tacit agreement the u.s. also needs the short route through pakistan to supply the troops in afghanistan islam watch shutting down last year in response to the killing of two dozen pakistani soldiers but with elections approaching their end with people furious at the u.s. there is little chance pakistani policy makers will want to be seen as being more accommodating to the united states the mockery and condescending remarks from washington make those chances even slimmer during the last decade of war and have got is that pakistanis have dealt with an unprecedented insurgency in their own country terror which has killed an awful lot of people much more than the loss is carried by the u.s. in afghanistan and that to

a large extent was the price pakistan paid for its alliance with the us but these days in washington it seems hardly anyone keeps that in mind when handing out another portion affect his ations and humiliation to the nation they once convinced to become their ally i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. . and right now a look at some of the stories making headlines around the wild and northeast kenya seventeen were killed and forty wounded in a tux on to a church is thought to have been carried out by. somali militant group police say the gunman that wore masks or they sprayed bullets and hurled grenades is the latest in a series of violent incidents in the country where their border region has been turns since troops were sent into somalia to pursue al shabaab islamic militants. more than sixty people have been killed and nearly hoffer million moved to temporary shelters as monsoon rains caused floods and landslides in northeastern

india the huge abramov putra river burst its banks after a week of heavy rains in and takes several thousand villagers lives often occur in the region but this is considered the worst disaster in a decade. journals of one of iraq's bloodiest months as soon as they were with a trial of u.s. troops last year with over two hundred thirty people killed in the last few days alone there's been a spate of bombings and shootings across the country share neighborhoods and security forces were the main target heart attacks it's in the midst of a political crisis with rivaling militants calling for the country's prime minister to resign or sidelining his opponents. a new word she was driven between moscow and washington this week as you are senators back to sanctions against russian officials it's a specs of human rights abuses moscow says it's an interference in its internal affairs and has warned of a symmetrical response the so-called magnitsky list primarily targets people

allegedly links to the death of russian lawyer sergei magnitsky who died in custody three years ago while facing tax evasion charges after prison authorities failed to give him access to medical care the us congress has yet to vote on the bill and it faces an uncertain future lacking white house support political analyst martin c. says the move was extremely ill timed in terms of u.s. russian relations. the united states and russia are the two great thermonuclear powers in the world russia remains the preeminent strategic partner in the eurasian landmass the united states and russia have an enormous amount of strategic interests and concerns in common they are equally threatened on the lawn by islamist fundamentalism they both face major drug epidemics crime epidemics within their own countries the need for security and law and order cooperation between the united states and russia is absolutely preeminent in the world but that is not

going to happen when relations between the two great super powers deteriorate over issues like this this is grandstanding and demagoguery in the senate of the war scary and what's particularly striking to me on this is that this isn't coming from the house of representatives it's coming from the senate and the senate is supposed to take the long term and be the more thoughtful reflective legislative chamber in the u.s. constitutional system. and it will have plenty more details on the case of sergei magnitsky including what led to his arrest and the investigation into his dad all the buying ground based controversial stories online at home and i'll be back in a moment with a recap of the main stories and right after that artie's interview on iran's ability to export oil now that sanctions have kicked in. all the way.
