but it is unacceptable when we have aggression with firecrackers that burst into flames and ordinary people suffer it will take all the necessary measures and you think like that to happen again so got to your thirty's are not accused if ineffective us in handling the killing of your grocery that is good and police have already arrested those responsible for the queuing up and will arrest others everyone is equal before the war. the head in question the leader was shot dead last week during a mass brawl notes of those gathered in the city's minute square simply wanted to pay their respects and demand a phone destination into the death of one of their own but take into account the fact that the suspect in this homicide is from the north caucasus and the story it's an ugly nationalist list according to officials members of the country's various nationalist movements and not football fans instigated the violence by you but by the way it was the radical protestors joins those bucket list owner of the

dead men and insides of mass protests i'm fighting thirteen people in melbourne hospital the police must act tough but within the law and they did everything they had to acting as the situation as follows nicholas the clashes didn't stop with just the capital leave their petersburg rally in memory of necessity this quickly turned into a fight between protesters and riot police with many injured and over fifty detained so is this nationalist violence for violence sake or is there have been agenda. it is working very hard to move. into different nationalist and the new nazi groups doing a lot of propaganda with a lot of success this is who i'm very i'm not exactly blameless in cells just a few days ago spar tech supporters disrupted their team's match in slovakia they were three was forced to call the match off in the wake of management is already

considering serious punishment for the team and the next matches can be held with no audience in the future in the europa league and for me it's quiet quiet ignore quite normal and of course the part that will be fine and on thursday i think next day after the match the head coach of sport that all their carbon so that it's not accepted found to behave like that sans claim they want justice for a friend who had been killed but violence is not the answer saturday's clashes prove them both the story and the aggression are not really about football to the instigators however it's all fair game tensions have been on the rise you want to speed up even though they're rushing all doing nothing to block tempers police managed to restore order to the streets of the capital and seem petersburg but many are still afraid this is again the violence. catching us out of

a party. the u.s. considers promoting human rights worldwide a priority but some critics say america's own track record is far from blameless the u.n. has published a report outlining an exhaustive list of measures washington should undertake to protect freedom and rights back home are his maria port and i asked more from new york. what speaks louder. actions or words we recognize the inherent dignity and rights of every individual a promise by the u.s. president and a requirement outlined in the universal declaration of human rights thirty articles outlining basic standards of life inalienable rights for all people. article three everyone has the right to life liberty and security of person with every drone attack with every. invasion and occupation of a foreign country with every overthrow of a foreign government that the united states happens not to like or happens not to

agree with every one of those is a violation of that one article political commentator nima shirazi accuses the us of falling short of a feeling several of the principles it helped create article five no one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel inhumane or degrading treatment or punishment with every detainee kidnapped and rendition and. you know tortured in guantanamo or and or elsewhere. that's yet another violation the land of liberty is also the land of the incarcerated with the world's largest prison population with. two point three million people behind bars more than three thousand languish on death row. article twenty five everyone has the right to a standard of living including food clothing housing and medical care at the dawn

of a new millennium. we set concrete goals to free our fellow men women and children from the injustice of extreme poverty u.s. figures indicate nearly forty four million americans are living in poverty even more people lack access to affordable health care and fifteen million are officially unemployed. meanwhile an estimated one million u.s. families are set to lose their homes this year alone as president made it clear that the united states will do our part last month the u.n. human rights commission made clear in two hundred and twenty eight recommendations by how the u.s. can improve its human rights record of movie is being because he is not just happening there one city one state is that you know not what america needs to stop stars and stripes stained with accusations of police brutality racial profiling of

minorities. and islamophobia. anybody going to. the country most vocal in chastising others for what it sees as human rights abuses is now taking heat for violating a declaration it cowrote maybe american poet ralph waldo emerson put it best when saying what you do speaks so loudly i cannot hear what you say. r.t. new york you can find more on this and everything we cover on our website our team here is what's also online. going the extra mile for that rush of adrenaline see how our russian base jumper thanks to add the arctic now into. the sun may be smiling down on us according to russian businesses find out why they say. that it's the happiest dog on our new and improved. absolute arteaga.

sunday kosovo prepares to hold its first parliamentary election since it declared unilateral independence from serbia three years ago but r.t. sarah forth reports the serbian minority there is boycotting the elections claiming there are unwelcome and being excluded from the region society. and her family live in a small serbian enclave in costs of a it's a fairly so that she existence she cut off from the white albanian community and the change from the war in the one nine hundred ninety s. which divided the country and the generation this was built at the height of the

cost of the wall to protect the serbian community behind it from gunfire that would come from the right to look at the albanian populated area and it remains today so they don't mind the continuing ethnic conflict. national bet so i remember the wall being built after a neighbor was shot but as he worked on the land near the road we still live in fear here it's harder for the children living such a separate existence they begin to think that's just how things are the elections are the first poll since the breakaway province declared independence from serbia in february two thousand and eight belgrade has made it clear that although they went penalized for taking part they do not recognize those organizing the election and a week turnout would significantly undermine the votes credibility. because. i'm not going to vote because for us now it's not the time for election when we don't

lead a normal life. begun as per the chaise or the family's two cars one with cars the number plates and one with serbian. puppets driving on the rules with serbian number of police here in course would be too dangerous. it was an accurate morning we visited drainers a town that's been at the heart of many kosovo albanian nationalist movements of filming was interrupted by the police they spotted our serbian fixes number plates we were detained and questioned before being tailed out of town by locals also unhappy with our presence there the message was clear service is not welcome here it was also a stark insight into the divisions of power and fractured governance that remains in kosovo we don't have checks and balances between. power. we don't have just as functioning because it's very controlled just in order for

themselves to have free hands to do whatever they want the previous reading coalition parties a tip to the favorites to win parrot again despite controversies including. collaborating with organized crime groups one issue dominates the campaign the main the main point the main goal is integration within european union it's a familiar catchphrase and wonder holds nace way with the opposition it's pure propaganda in their mouth you know your rotten picking to gratian to bolivia you integration isn't likely to be realized until the cost of they get its own house in order and it us the very serious barrier which is still dividing its people surf a possible. marco gassers from the british serbian alliance for peace tells r.t.

that kosovo serbs are struggling to get by and are nowhere near becoming a fully integrated part of society. costs more. today stands as a state a false state based on ethnic cleansing and cemented by nato bombs the serbians who remain live in fear of their lives they are literally living in ghettos they're unable to get out and the only reason they still survive in kosovo and are not fed to the all good in trade that the albanians have fed so many serbians to in the past is because nato likes to keep living serbs in kosovo as good publicity there they are there just as a publicity to create the impression across what is a multi-ethnic society isn't it a mono ethnic society which has destroyed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and the leadership in kosovo consists of criminals who have moved into politicians as western intelligence agencies have said themselves so everyone knows what's going on in kosovo but the idea is to. lie about what's going on cos or to

a bigger world audience. with the onset of winter is bitter cold life is bleak for the homeless in moscow hundreds are expected to freeze to death as temperatures plunge to minus thirty centigrade in the coming weeks but as artie's tom barton reports a group of dedicated volunteers is working hard offering a helping hand to those in desperate need. that's night the homeless gather there waiting for salvation but it comes in the form of a bus a bus run by the orthodox church charity mercy their boys that are all i want to wish good health to all crew of this mercy but they always take care of us. i think this is hard to come it's estimated there are around a hundred thousand homeless people in moscow this fickle and its crew travel around the main railway stations every night trying to help them stave off the worst to begin to scold just because there's risk of the problem of i do this work because i

can't help but do it i just can't live my life peacefully is it when someone else is freezing to death that you should but when we reach one of moscow's biggest stations the team has to turn away any hope that you can with the you know he's a thirty two and he's not allowed to go on a bus but he's going around bugging us you say to make way for those in the worst condition this man would never have reached the bus the family found but this year because the homeless people we come across we can only choose thirty or thirty five of the most needy ones at most cities and each time i'm afraid of making those choices each of these people has a tragic tale of how they ended up in many though it's russia's bureaucracy has prevented them from working to get you to give but i spent thirty years in many prisons i had no idea whatsoever of our guns on the streets statehouse is going to scan so thoroughly but the old couple social services just don't have budgets and

so they only deal with muscovites our organization is public and lives off the nation and that's why we help everybody had needs us irrespective age gender faith nationality or citizenship and he's almost on the buses nearly full now the team will let these people sleep a little more than getting a hot meal and a shower but then there's no other place for them except back on the streets night after night this bus and its crew provides a lifeline for the homeless people around the city's train stations but as the winter gets colder they're going to come to need it more and more tom watson r.t. . turning now to some other stories making headlines across the globe to a blast in central stockholm that killed at least one person injured two others sweden's foreign minister says that there were a failed terrorist attack minutes before you explosions a news agency received threats against the country the messages referred to swedish troops serving in afghanistan and cartoon depictions of the prophet muhammad.

violence in different parts of afghanistan has left more than a dozen people dead in helmand province fifteen people in a truck died and many were injured when a roadside bomb went off in neighboring khandahar a car bomb blast near the police headquarters wounded at least six and in the north a suicide bomber blew up a stolen police car packed with explosives near an army checkpoint more than a dozen were wounded mostly women and children. and the older son of a jailed financier bernard made off has been found dead in new york on the second anniversary of his father's arrest mark made off was discovered hanging in his apartment days after he was named in a new lawsuit by the liquidators of his father's financial empire marc and his brother who both worked at the firm or under investigation but how do you face any criminal charges in the massive ponzi scheme that led to their father's jailing bernard made off admitted eleven counts of fraud and was sentenced to a maximum hundred fifty year prison term. finally in this news block st petersburg

has played host to a number of celebrities from all across the world but there was one that stood out and he wasn't an actor or singer it was russia's very own prime minister vladimir putin and he even got a standing ovation here was his performance. putin also displayed his piano playing talents although lighthearted this was for a very serious cause helping raise money for pediatric cancer among the celebrities taking part of the hollywood actress sharon stone golden couple kurt russell and goldie hawn as well as monica bellucci invincible itself rather than raising much needed money for charity events and also it helped boost the prime minister's image . it's amazing that he's actually singing in english because he isn't actually speak much english he famously spoke english for the song and last year for it you

see them but you know when it comes to an english it's very rare we get to see him speak well in saying it was for a charity event instead because back in the spectacular ice palace. and everyone there was from hollywood sharon stone to cross the jeffords it would be a big star and it was best for a child she had children with. cancer. and all the sudden there michael this was given to him totally unplanned and he got up an insanity plea for help putin famously said he doesn't love the he called saying he called dogs but just like everybody else it was insured and also he was he had just as well i think anybody who can say you know to do it in a room full of absolute you know famous people like that should be commendable and also it's great for his reputation we got the story about the dog recently the puppy he's it's not the first time the sound guy that he started last year he went

to the ministry of defense school for girls and he sang this patriotic song with a lovely picked out russian go and the more he just things like this the more that you know people can connect. moscow and washington are seeking to sign an agreement that would protect the rights of russian children adopted by u.s. families with recent cases of russian children neglected by american adoptive parents people's minds are he talks to the russian president's children rights. trust can be restored.

thank you very much for being with us today. to us promise to ensure that. protecting the rights of children and i believe this round of talks wrapped up in washington yesterday what's going on there. is a protection of. the rights of all adoptive children who. came into the days of america it's all a priority i can see as a. all. all.

points different points in this agreement and we hear the final comments now from the locals the next step is sending cousteau. to the federal authorities and after that we are rated to understand this agreement but i remember also your promise to freeze did option for united states if the docket wasn't signed by two real happen is it lifted or is it still on no. actually we didn't do it we didn't do it we didn't freeze that the option. was in other states of america because this is a long judicial procedure but in fact in fact we greased the number of. such cases in our courts for us to hold. and we are not ready to freeze the toll this process of the adoption process because we're here.

to for all. political and judicial brigade. but. if we kin that finds agreement. about the situation about overseas adoption we can freeze this process this agreement this finally signed and finalized what would that mean for the top of russian children and to those who are entrusted with their rights to protect their children first of all it's guaranteed is going to is going to use. very effective for a legal instrument. to control this is the result the children in the new family overseas and the united states of america when they adopt a child comes to the united states of america and becomes a citizen of the united states of america this child is continuing to be as a citizen of the russian federation until eighteen years old and we have

a right to support like a citizen of the russian federation and we have. a right to sue or for. the situation with this adopted child is a new family and the second thing is. recognition of. russian federation's court decisions is united states of america because during this new agreement it wouldn't be necessary to. have a decision in the united states of america court just enough to have a decision of the russian federation court and visit will be recognized in that is this of american security important what's the position of our states in general on adoption of russian nationals by a foreign parents as an imposition is we. have to be

patient we have to. recognize our obligations which our state law. give to us i mean. a special. article in a family court there which. gives a right for any overseas adoptive families to adopt the russian child if this child cannot find the family inside the country more than say one hundred thousand children orphans results are little control it was all part of the support and the situation we're here to initiate a different process inside the country to stimulate our citizen to adopt russian children and to stay these children inside the company because we don't have so many children all countries but question children also have been subject to

legal wrangling as to say and so-called tug of love cases in several countries how do you how do you make sure that the rights of. it's a very difficult question because. all. the foreign contras. and whole different agreements between russia and. america. agreements.

this.

was. just. download the official. i pod touch from the. video on demand. feeds with the palm of your. question. dot com this is a cable from the u.s. embassy in colombo to talk about here it apparent june seventh incident of extrajudicial executions the military according to the press that on that day they killed nine to relisten from desiccation by instructs you including you know.

strongly suggest however that the nine were executed by the army and then dressed in military fatigues. explain how you know this kind of phenomenon where bodies are dressed up as guerrillas and presented as killed in action and this and this idea that you need to produce bodies actually encouraged paramilitary collaboration this is a cia document central intelligence agency they knew about these activities they knew they were happening they knew about links to paramilitary groups and yet. usaid continued to flow.
