washington wants syria to stop the bloody crackdown on protesters or face pressure sanctions reports emerge of troops and storming a hub of anti-government protests. it's a ready aim of russia's troops putting the finishing touches to their massive display in moscow of course this is a right before victory day. thousand three hundred units of military hardware have been making their way through the heart the last day. with the help of not really. an american gun owners get fired up over openly carrying their weapons

saying it's their last line of defense on home soil. with r.t. live from moscow now syrian troops backed by tanks reportedly entered the coastal town of buy me us dollars a day of nationwide protests across the country that left thirty people dead the u.s. is warning the regime that it will take on new steps against it in response to the latest a bloody crackdown by security forces syrian officials blame armed terrorist groups for the rest of the protesters say they just want an end to decades of repression and corruption and want to human rights group claims eight hundred people have been killed since the uprising began almost two months ago and with us sanctions already in place and the threat of more to come the e.u. has also agreed on an assets freeze and

a travel ban for top syrian officials but war correspondent eric mark says there's definitely western funding behind the protests in syria. there's great excitement of washington at the prospect of overthrowing the syrian government that's been on the front burner in washington ever since the bush administration the wiki leaks papers have shown that the us has been funding. the bush administration been funding. and groups in syria along with saudi arabia and israel. overthrowing the regime. this will intensify and we're seeing new broadcasts coming from washington purporting to be syrian liberation front. e-mails and now this new machine this liberation machine you might want to call it is being turned against syria so i think the fuse has been lit we're changing syrian government and there's a diplomatic coalition forming against syria so that it is very very nerve

wracking for the syrians right now they're quite isolated and even the saudis are against them. it's a time when it's surprising that europe is this side to get so deeply involved france in particular because it used to be the colonial ruler of the area seems to be a hankering to return to its colonial roots and what we're seeing is a sort of a counter revolution where the european powers maybe the united states have seized on the revolution to try and bend to their will and they're using humanitarian intervention as the new reason for sending troops in however humanitarian aid to. the resources or strategic geography. from syria to libya now where colonel gadhafi supporters have reportedly bombed a fuel depot in the rebel held city of misrata and socials want the nato led coalition to provide weapons saying they don't have enough to beat khadafi over two

thousand of coalition airstrikes have so far failed to turn a civil war which began back in february when a geo political analyst told us here in our t.v. foreign plan is to deliberately divide and conquer their objective is not to save civilians it's to break up the country and to turn it into another somalia or another afghanistan a failed state that they can take advantage of and manipulate and take all the resources the biggest companies corporations or africa all happened to be in libya libya was pushing for the african union to unite under its wing and it was the financial backbone of africa until these but this bombing started libyan banks were amongst the biggest investors across the world in fact the first step of this war was to take libya's money by freezing its billions of dollars of assets in north america and europe they've already set up. an oil corporation in eastern libya

based in benghazi a national bank based in benghazi they want this conflict to last they're no rush to end this war they are keeping a strategic stalemate between benghazi and tripoli they are doing this to make them both depended on the united states the e.u. and nato as the arbitrators of libya will decide the fate of the libyan people. you always want to weigh for you americans who say they have nothing to hide. i believe that you should be able to. carry a firearm in any manner you choose the us. with the most gun owners you know they want the rights or bring their firearms our interview. something they saw troops in the streets of moscow along with tanks and helicopters but it's all in the name of remembrance said of monday's victory day parade sixty six of us from nazi germany. were forced from the heart of the russian capital.

twenty thousand three hundred units of military hardware making their way through the streets of moscow and carrying out the full still. ahead of monday's big day parade an incredibly impressive sight indeed this is the final rehearsal ahead monday's break but they have a number about the age of the party it's always incredibly strange that the around this time when you see the tanks driving down the street from the rehearsals going on at they have remembering. the thing and of three the russian victory a nazi germany the veterans funding. as usual and a very important day for going and reminding everyone twenty five million people. will. get a very very heavy price. seeing the rise. across.

glorified pull along this. one just like. in ukraine. anyone today can enjoy a good walk in this forest near the central ukrainian town of vineyards the tranquility of the area masking what lurked here seven decades ago these peaceful woods were once the site of a top secret and highly guarded nazi command center the werewolf barker. it was a huge complex which has everything germany's cologne could need there was an officers' club a sauna a gym a swim all and barracks means some sources claim it when seven pools underground about the ground there were several wooden houses including a concealed gun. and all of hitler ordered the construction of this bunker to control the nazi war effort on the eastern front it is believed the nazi leader

himself was here three times with his personal swimming pool thought to be about the only thing to remain intact at the site the rest of the huge complex was destroyed in march nine hundred forty four this was believed to be the main entrance to the bunker which was exploded by the retreating german forces when the soviet troops arrived they went inside the facility and realized it was rigged with explosives they took no chances and detonated the other two entrances burying the werewolf secrets for ever. to this day it is not known what remains on the ground as no one has ever managed to get inside the nazi era facility after the war many attempts have been made since then to gain access but have failed the walls are massively thick and the site is still subject to top secret course if occasion the director of the local military museum believes the complex was deliberately

preserved to prevent any intrusion in nature as the bunker was built by soviet prisoners of war that's why its blueprints don't differ from that of still functioning bunkers across the former u.s.s.r. nobody will crack it open in the near future because it is still a classified facility. it may only be a pile of rocks but now the local administration wants to turn the world's ruins into a memorial to be opened in june this year. and fourteen thousand people that were killed and wired to the world will facility was slaughtered by the fascists that is why they want to put a fancy around it and make it a memorial to the victims of passions and to preserve and mammary the. despite this being a seemingly patriotic idea ukraine's communist party is not too happy about it staging pickets to protest against the plan and others what would you give the normally the authors of this interview should be fun and who can ok so launched against them

a reason to put it down being a former pretty sure if i had thought that it was necessary to. obtain a concealed handgun permit to protect myself but craig does it might just conceal his gun he wants to carry it out in the open to me it's the constitutional way to carry a firearm. and i think that. if you don't exercise your rights eventually you will lose them. his wife get drunk leave the house without her magnum three fifty seven pistol is. checked into this special handbag for packing heat in croatia i was in the think. big. even during the war you know. it's not. like you. i don't know. i thought it was like. the wild west

like i was watching t.v. . and. walking with. one way here. there are two hundred fifty million guns in the hands of american civilians and record estimates he spent more than twenty five thousand dollars on here. i mean how many pairs of shoes do you have. i mean. by saddam's or about to get a read each one brings back memory. this was. my grandfather saddam. we used to go hunting together when i was little boy rutherford carries his gun everywhere he legally can and even encourages his daughters and nephew to as well i wouldn't just rather greatly reduce the distance the crime three thousand five hundred members they organize events like this one at parks restaurants and other public places where they openly carry loaded weapons in

an effort to normalize their critics say. i believe that you should be able to. carry a firearm in any manner you choose on an airplane and in school but you need tech and columbine there are some serious things and they don't allow guns it's always the criminals that get the guns and you can't have a gun in a gun free zone so guns need to be allowed on campuses there virginia citizens defense league is part of the greater open carry movement a well organized network of gun owners in forty three states three bills camaraderie between every you know makes it basically makes it easier to spread the message that prepares it's. first send in the open carry movement it's about more than security it's about forming a militia defending themselves from government tyranny and even organizing an insurgency in ford artsy carrollton virginia you would ask a lot from iraq obama has hailed the mission to kill osama bin ladin as one of the

greatest military operations in u.s. history but u.n. human rights investigators want washington to disclose whether there were any plans to capture. political danielle belton says america has politicized and a lot of death by not putting him on trial. the reality is that american politics is just very ugly right now and things that normally wouldn't be politicized have been politicized something that's national saying hey we have a person who's committing crimes against us let's use the american justice system to bring them to justice has now become a political issue it's now become debatable in the past whenever a terror suspect like for instance the ones involved in the bombing and nine eleven were never trials the debate over trials and come up with some very ugly about where they would have military tribunals or whether we would try them in the united states and u.s. soil and you have all these ridiculous arguments about how if we try them on our soil it's going to attract more terrorists attacks to it so having kuantan of open tracks us to tears terms this is by the by virtue of fighting the war on terror you

know it's going to invite some criticism you're going to take the risk that people are going to want to hurt you because of it it makes absolutely no sense to get in this debate where the american justice system isn't tough enough to try you know international terrorists we've tried international terror or we're trying to now on u.s. soil so this argument that we can't handle it because of the what the perceived repercussions might be is merely a political argument used to drive as a wedge issue. meantime aussies military says the white house is handling of the off the mouth of bin laden's killing was fumbled and is now fueling a conspiracy theories the us president obama has expressed his frustration about the media coverage of the u.s. special mission against osama bin laden he has nobody to blame but the us administration itself the way it managed their media coverage of the u.s. special operation administration has committed one cardinal sin somehow their white

house decided that this is a unique opportunity to take a political advantage of this particular mission and it has backfired and feel not only conspiracy theories but it also demonstrated the credibility gap of the u.s. administration in general and white house civilian dwellers in particular barack obama should have thought not as the u.s. president but as the u.s. commander in chief when it comes to special operations all of these magnets and you'd better withhold the information as long as possible that's why there are political knee jerk reaction from their white house not only robbed of the deserved praise but also of the credibility trust between the united states administration international media and the public at large in the united states pakistan afghanistan and other countries well many americans could barely contain the

delight news of bin laden's death web jonathan laurie how fast people in new york with celebrations may have been premature. was the killing of osama bin ladden a major victory in the war on terror this week let's talk about that really think it was a victory i don't know if in a surly agree with everyone rejoicing in the streets but i mean i think it's a good positive step for the country so how is it positive that if it's making a celebrated someone's that well positive just from the perspective that it's a one was a horrible person out there in the world one less terrorist in the world that we have to worry about i think there'll be affect on their side and for us we just of lot better but we need to feel better about it what do you think that does for us closure complete closure the whole psychology they are psychology about it like feels good. so but don't we need a cookie man isn't there always kind of

a need for they are in society. i just hope it was him people are saying some people are saying might not be i hope they do. do you think that we the president owes it to the world's approval or do you think that you know he is right in saying you know i did what i had to do i think there's certain things they shouldn't be don't tell the general public because i think sometimes it could cause you know some some of the government things could cause a panic probably is you know maybe one of the prime enemies of the u.s. but it's hard to. say you can't celebrate the death it's someone titles so what do you think of the people that are celebrating and waving the flag and cheering we shouldn't do that you know even though i mean i'm i'm a i'm not sad. to care that the killed but i'm going to be celebrating i think it's

a very good progress. it's retribution i. did some things and you had to pay for it so do you think it's going to make a difference in terms of terrorist actions from this point out. there might be some more rich gruesome from. then is it worth it is it worth killing someone if it means my killing you have to take a stand. then was it worth it. anyway yes. another. negative effect. but. i don't know that's always a bad start for a new beginning whether or not you think the killing of osama bin laden was a major victory in the war on terror the bottom line is at least now there is one

less terrorist in the words. it is at the next stage of preparations ahead of its launch from french guiana joint russian european french. without a hitch the crews are focused on getting their payload of satellites into orbit for europe's a system called galileo. reports on the project. with more than one and a half thousand launches far more than any other the soyuz is the world's most successful rocket and now for the first time it will be fired off from a russian space port over the last eight years the european space agency say has spent more than half a billion dollars on building a launch and adopting the soyuz for surf american space center including. this was all done by engineers and designers we had to adapt to the climate here and the

different safety standards that we've proven ourselves with this due to the modifications and crews. chosen location the soyuz will be able to take greater loads into space than ever before the prices than any input into the seas makers in russia also stand to benefit more than four decades after its first launch the soyuz should really be showing its age but it remains one of the world's most reliable rockets and in fact orders at best some are planned by going up from year to year twenty so use launches will be produced here by the end of the year several years ago the numbers were in single digits its chief engineer says the rocket remains popular not just because it's record well and it might look similar to the earlier models but inside the so use is being constantly upgraded as is the reason we still use the basic model i believe it's the perfect rocket in its fundamental design we predict that they will be used for another forty years at least

constructors are saying that the transition from prestige driven space race of the cold war era to a new way of doing things is complete so if this is a project that makes solid financial sense to us it isn't just a political gesture and we're hoping it's just a springboard. the thurso use will be launched from grew in the second half of the year and eventually the spaceport will handle four launches annually the russian side hopes the success of this project will encourage other space agencies to adopt the soyuz platform either an artsy. well you can always keep cross all of our stories and video reports are around the clock com here's what you're clicking on a right now on our web site and the journey back through sixty years when the u.s. i saw signed up to do the olympics and just a year later proved soviet sportsmen and women knew how to gun for gold.
