seven am in moscow good to be with you here on r t our top story nearly thirty people have been injured in scores detained in iran and moscow and st petersburg thousands gathered in the two cities to mark the death of a spartak moscow football fan was killed in a brawl on monday authorities say russian nationalist groups hijacked the peaceful gatherings are. always in the moscow city center when the violence broke out. anger mismanagement thousands of football fans took their aggression to the streets of the russian capital in a small field riot transform in quiet central moscow this flares in bottles flew overhead last least detained instigators of the clashes at what started out as a peaceful commemorative ramp to know that. some people have reacted very violently to the death of the family of what i do believe that some of their dissatisfaction is understandable but it is unacceptable whatever gresham with far greater cares

that burst into flames in ordinary people suffer it is the world take all the necessary measures and you think like that to happen again so the thirty's are not accused of an effective us in handling of the killing of a grocery that is good and police have already arrested those responsible for the queuing up and the rest others everyone is equal before the war. the fat in question the last leader was shot dead last week during a mass brawl notes of those gathered in the city's manya 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 sort of radical protestors joins those spots atlantis the owner of the dead and then i like an insight into mass protests and fighting fifteen people another hospital the police martial artist health face within the

lower and they did everything they had to acting as the situation was really at the mercy of the bush the cautious didn't stop with just the capital either petersburg rally in memory of necessity that quickly turned into a fight between protesters and riot police with many injured and over fifty detainees so is this nationalist violence for violence sake or is there a hidden agenda. nationalist far right 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 why we are not exactly blameless in cells just a few days ago spar tax 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 in the next matches can be helped with

no audience in the future in the europa league and for me it's quiet quiet now are quite normal and of course the part that will be fine and on through as there think next day after the match head coach of sport that while there are carbon so that it's not accepted found to behave like that sans clay and they want justice for a friend who had been killed but violence is not the answer saturday's clash is proof that both the story and the aggression are not really about football for the instigators however it's all fair game tensions have been on the rise you've got to speed up even the little russian pole doing nothing to pull off tempers police managed to restore order to the streets of the capital and st petersburg but many are still afraid this is the beginning of the violence. cashew nuts are about r t. 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 extensive list of measures washington should undertake to protect freedom and rights back home or his marina portnoy has 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 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. 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

this sunday kosovo prepares to hold its first parliamentary election since it declared unilateral independence from serbia three years ago but as r.t. sorry for her ports the serbian minority there is boycotting the elections claiming their own welcome and excluded from the region society. the gun and her family live in a small serbian enclave in kosovo it's a fairly solid she existence here largely cut off from the way the albanian community and it'll change from the war in the one nine hundred ninety s. which divided the country and brutalized a generation this was built at the height of the cost of the war to protect the serbian community behind it from gunfire that would come from the right is the most of the albanian populated area and it remains today

a solid reminder of the continuing ethnic conflicts. 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 all day they went penalised for taking part they do not recognize those organizing the elections in a week turnout would significantly undermine the vote credibility. i'm not going to vote because for us now it's not the time for elections when we don't lead a normal life. begun as per the shays of the families two cars when with cars the number plates and one with serbian. driving on the routes with serbian number of

police here in cause would be too dangerous. it was an accurate warning 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 us 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 serbians 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. all of the powers. we don't have just as functioning because it's very controlled 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 power again despite controversies including. collaborating with organized crime groups one issue dominates that campaign the main the main point and the main goal is integration within european union it's a familiar catchphrase and one that holds an ace way with the opposition i think it's pure propaganda in their mouth these kind of you know you're all thinking too great and the goal of the integration isn't likely to be realized until the cost of a stable to get its own house in order and address the very serious part is which is still dividing is people surfing the possible. marco gasso from the british serbian alliance for peace tells r t that kosovo serbs are struggling to survive and are nowhere near becoming a fully integrated part of society. cost of war. today stands as a state a full state based on ethnic cleansing and cemented by nato bombs the serbians who

remain live in fear of their lives they are literally living 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 there they are there just as a publicity to create the impression that cost of war is a multiethnic society isn't it a mono ethnic society which has destroyed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and the leadership of 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 better called life is

bleak for the whole most and the russian capital hundreds are expected to freeze as death to freeze to death as temperatures plunge to minus thirty centigrade in the coming weeks but as artie's time garden reports a dedicated group of volunteers are working hard to offer a helping hand 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. better all i want to wish good health to all crew of this most of us they always take care of us. although it is a hard to come by 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 of the going to scold just because there's risk of the clubs and i do this work because i can't help but do it i just can't live my life peacefully when someone else is freezing to death in the street is 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 about and he's going around backing up you decide to make way for those in the worst condition this man would never have reached the bus the family found this year is that among the homeless people we come across we can only choose thirty or thirty five of the most needy ones at most 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 that is preventing them from working they did it to give i spent thirty years in many prisons i had no idea whatsoever of where one's own street state help is going to scale certainly but the 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 of their age gender faith

nationality or citizenship and useless and the bus is nearly full now the team will let these people sleeping till morning then give them 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 cities trying 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 two blasts in central stockholm have killed at least one person and injured two more sweden's foreign minister says there a failed terrorist attack minutes before the explosion the news agency received threats against the country the messages referred to swedish troops serving in afghanistan and cartoon depictions of the prophet muhammad. turning to afghanistan violence in different parts of the country has left more than a dozen dead in helmand province fifteen people in

a truck died and many were injured when a roadside bomb went off in neighboring kandahar a car bomb blast near police headquarters wounded at least six and in the north a suicide bomber blew up a stolen police car packed with explosives and near an army checkpoint more than a dozen were wounded most of them women and children. the older a son of a jailed financier bernard made off has been found dead in new york on the second anniversary of his father's arrest marc made up was discovered hanging in his apartment days after he was named in a new lawsuit by the liquidators of his father's empire marc and his brother who both worked at the forum or under investigation but hadn't faced 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. st petersburg has played host to a number of celebrities from across the globe but one stood out and he wasn't an actor or a singer it was russia's very own prime minister vladimir putin even got

a standing ovation and here was his performance. the pm also showed off his range of talents by playing the piano although lighthearted it was poor very serious cause helping raise money for children suffering from cancer among the celebrities taking power while hollywood actors sharon stone her russell and goldie hawn as well monica bellucci and vincent the south other than really raising much needed money for a charity event also seems to help with the prime minister's image according to our own right now and. 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 you see them but you know when it comes to an english it's very rare we get to see him speak let alone saying it was for a charity event instead because back in the spectacular ice palace. and everyone

there was from hollywood sharon stone total cost the jeffords would do a big star and it was based for a charity event for children with. cancer. and all the sudden that michael is was given to him is totally unplanned and that he got up in and sang leaper you help famously said that he doesn't love the he called saying he called dogs but just like everybody else he loves to it was in tune 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 study these people like that should be commendable and also it's great for his reputation we got the story about the dog recently the puppy. it's not the first understanding either. last year he went to the ministry of defense school for girls and he sang this patriotic song with it with a lovely picture with russian go and the more he does things like this the more

that you know people can connect. next washington and moscow are seeking to sign an agreement. in protecting the rights of russian children adopted by u.s. families where the recent cases of russian children neglected by american adoptive parents still fresh in people's minds or he talks to the russian president's ombudsman for children's rights. restored.

thank you very much for being with us today. to us promise. protecting the rights of children and i believe talks wrapped up in washington yesterday what's going on there. is a protection of. the rights of all adoptive children. not just those of america is all the priority i can see is that. all. all. points different born in this agreement. we hear the final comments now a final look at. the next step is sending commands to fiddle before.

we are rigid to understand this agreement. i remember also your promise to freeze did option for united states if the docket wasn't signed by two real haven't is it lifted or is it still long no. actually we didn't do it we didn't do it we didn't freeze the adoption process 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 first of all. 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 dropped 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. a very effective legal instrument. to control this is the result of the children in the new family overseas in the united states of america when the adopted child comes to the united states of america and becomes a citizen of the united states a very american. this child is continuing to be as a citizen of the russian federation until eighteen years old and we have a right to support his child like a citizen of the russian federation and would have. the right to sue or for all the situation with this adopted child is in your family and the second thing is.

recognition of. the 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. just enough to have a decision of the russian federation court and business fusion will be recognized in that is this of america it's really important what's the position of our states in general on adoption of russian nationals by foreign parents i mean position is we. have to be patient we have to. recognize our obligations which our state law. give to us i mean or

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 was all part of the 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 wrangle 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 these children are protected it's

a very difficult question because we don't have a right to. control. the foreign contras. in their congress and. whole different agreements between russia and. america. agreements. this. in civil cases in the. thank you very much thank you for the thanks.

he live. only next to the border of the gaza egypt but also on the border of peace and war. they are responsible not only for themselves. but also for their loved one. they are ready to take any risk. as you watch this tape i can only imagine the fear and the despair that you face for this is being recorded for viewing only after the disappearance of god's people from the earth. well it's a clash of cultures it's

a closer civilization still you want to go back to eight eighth century islamic law and order we will enjoy the blessings of the bush liberty. really christianity is one of the only religion i think the only one that actually respects the rights of people who don't bring. the spirit in is taking place. on the station. ready to. wait for your moment one of the time and exclaimed. god bless you.
