international news from moscow this is r.t. with pretty for us today syrian troops backed by tanks have reportedly entered the coastal town of bani it follows a day of nationwide protests across the country that left thirty dead the u.s. is warning the regime that it will take new steps against it in response to the latest bloody crackdown by security forces to officials blame terrorist groups for the unrest well to say they want an end to decades of repression and corruption on human rights group claims eight hundred people have been killed since the uprising began almost two months ago with u.s. 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. eric margolis told me earlier there's definitely western funding behind the protests. so there's great excitement in

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 and funding are militant 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

a barrier against them and. it's a time when it's surprising that europe has decided to get some people in france in particular because they used to be the colonial ruler of the area seems to be a hankering to return to its colonial roots to 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 a humanitarian intervention as a new reason for sending troops in however humanitarian into action usually lies the resources or strategic geography. of. the group american middle east peace says well great changes sweeping the arab world. the problem with syria is as you know the curtain has come down a foreign journalists have been expelled there's only two or three there so

accurate reliable information has been a problem but certainly the protesters were blind after risking their lives to even accept their homes would want international support if they get proper support internationally including from russia. they will survive and if people see hope and if they overcome their fear as we've seen in country after country people are willing to die they're willing to give their blood and to go to the streets and to leave their homes and risk the snipers this is a tremendous testimony to be for freedom so i think the fact that there are beings other revolts is revolutions going on and is sweeping the region and i would argue that we're just at the beginning we are just at the beginning of a great islamic and arab awakening of two thousand and eleven that will be felt throughout the middle east and i think it's momentous extremely

a momentous. to libya now where the rebels say it's really has agreed to give them weapons it's allen for a ministry to now is the claims but says it is providing equipment for self-defense supplying arms to libya is prohibited by a u.n. involved on saturday colonel gadhafi forces reportedly on the field in the rebel held city of misrata the city's been under siege for weeks and seeing some of the heaviest fighting of the conflict no casualties have been reported in sunday's opposition forces will later that coalition to provide weapons saying they don't have enough to be over two thousand coalition air strikes have so far failed to turn the civil war which began in february one geopolitical analyst told r.t. that the current plan is to deliberately divide and conquer. their object. it is not to save civilians it's to break up the country and to turn it into another somalia another afghanistan a failed state that they can take advantage of and manipulate and take all the

resources the biggest companies corporations 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 thought this bombing started libyan banks were amongst the pig estate 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 still meet 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. on

woods were once the site of a top secret and highly guarded nazi command center the werewolf bunker and. it was a huge complex which had everything germany's cologne could need it was an officers' club a sauna a gym a swim hall and barracks some sources claim it went seven pools underground about the ground there were several wooden houses including a. thing at all 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 us 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 there donated the other two entrances burying their werewolf secrets for ever. to this day it is not known what remains underground 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 it was a bunker was built by soviet prisoners of war that's why it's blueprints don't differ from that of still puncturing bunkers across the former u.s.s.r. nobody will crack it open in the near future because it is still a classified facility in ruins. 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 soviet people that

built and worked in the world will facility was slaughtered by the fascists that's is why you want to put a fancy around it and make it a memorial to the victims and passions and to preserve their memory they said despite this being a seemingly tragedy of idea ukraine's communist party is not too happy about it staging tickets to protest against the universal with the norm with of the authors of its own give should be fun and who can no police launched against them in a building a monument to hitler mostly in creating an official not come from your fascist movement in china thriving in a million you don't need me over the we're will conquer has been a meeting place for right wing skinheads in the past as well as the target of endless speculation some claim it is radioactive and others say this cursed as all the complains commander from here notably the bottles of stalingrad and cursed lead

a unique joint venture with europe just give you a guided tour and a few minutes from. the first americans are among the world's most armed citizens yet the rights of her weapons just isn't enough for some now there's a movement to allow people to carry their guns over they choose what is coming forward reports all those wanted to push the second amendment to the next level. fred rutherford spent years carrying a gun in the balkans and in iraq as a defense contractor. so when he came home to virginia he didn't see a reason to put it down again you know former pretty sure if i thought that it was necessary to. obtain a concealed handgun permit to protect myself but craig says it might just conceal his gun he wants to curia out in the open to me it's the constitutional way to korea firearm. and i think. if you

don't exercise your rights eventually you will lose them. his way if you drank leave the house without her magnum three fifty seven pistol in. checked into this special back for packing heat increase i was not thinking. now even during the war. well i came here and i think. i was. like i was watching. and now i'm walking with. one right here. there are two hundred fifty million guns in the hands of american civilians and rather proud as to me he spent more than twenty five thousand dollars on his it's never complete i mean how many pairs of shoes do you have. i mean. by saddam's

or i want to get everybody each one brings back memories. this was. my grandfather shark i'm. going to go there when i was little. rutherford carries his gun everywhere he legally can and even encourages his daughters and nephew to as well and then would just rather of virginia citizens defense through two thousand five hundred members they organize events like this one at parts restaurants and other public places where they openly carry loaded weapons in an effort to normal rules of 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 tech in columbine there are some serious things and a bit all our guns it's always a permanence like it with guns and you can't have a gun in a gun free zone so guns need to be allowed on campuses they virginia citizens

defense league is part of the greater open carry movement a well organized network of gun owners in forty three states three girls are going to be nearly one it makes you know makes it basically makes it easier to screw with the message that. first some 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. barack obama has hailed the mission to kill as on the bin laden is one of the greatest military operations in u.s. history but you and human rights investigators want washington to disclose whether there were any plans to capture bin laden political blog and peniel bilton says america's politicize his death by 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 natural saying here 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 guns involved in the bombing and nine eleven whenever trials the debate over trials and come up with some very ugly about whether we 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 or if we tried them on our soil to attract more terrorists attacks to us what happened wants her to open a track that's that terrorists have just by the by virtue of fighting world terror you that'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 that in this debate where the american justice system isn't tough enough to try you know international terrorists we've tried international terror for trying to now on u.s. soil so this argument that we can't handle it because of the what the perceived might be is merely a political argument used to drive as a wedge issue. military contributing says the white house's handling of the

aftermath of bin laden's killing was fumbled and is now fueling 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 u.s. administration itself their way it managed their media coverage of the u.s. special operation the u.s. administrator has committed one cardinal sin somehow the white house decided this is a unique opportunity to take a political advantage of this particular mission and it has backfired and feel not only a conspiracy theory 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 this magnitude 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 their 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. many americans could barely contain that delighted the news of bin laden's death with journalist laurie how often it cost people in new york why the vet celebrations were premature. was the killing of osama bin ladin a major victory in the war on terror this week let's talk about that but i definitely 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 us celebrate it is the ones that well positive just from the perspective that it's a one less horrible person out there in the world one must terrorists in the world that we have to worry about i think it will be effect on their side and for us we just of lot better why do we need to feel better about it what do you think that does for us closure. complete closure the whole psychology psychology about it like i feel so good man is dead. so why don't we need to put the man isn't there always kind of a need for that in society was donald trump i just hope it was sam's people are saying some people are saying my not big i hope a bit here do you think that we that the president owes it to the world to approve it or do you think that you know how easy is right in saying you know i did what i had to do. i think there's certain things they shouldn't they don't tell the

general public because i think sometimes of course 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 deaths that someone died and rose so what do you think of the people that are celebrating and waving the flag and cheering do that you know even though i mean i'm a i'm not sad i'm to care that they did they killed you know but i'm not going to be celebrating i think it's a good progress. it's retribution i think he did some bird. and you had to pay for the do you think that it's going to make a difference in terms of terrorist actions from this point out. there is it worth it is it worth killing someone if it means my killing you have to . retaliate. if so then

was it worth it. anyway yes for. another. the first fifteen that they've got him but if it was this say to kill him 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 last terrorist in the world's. turning to south america now where russian soyuz rockets entering the final stages of preparations to morph into orbit it's true to close off from french in august on a joint russian european project the rockets being what if i had to carry a payload of satellites to move it for europe's own medication system called galileo on saturday the heads of the russian and european space agency's met at the

cosmodrome and its end of the service of the official commissioning of the launch pad is the symbolic key to the rocket was unveiled on thursday a simulated launch of the spacecraft went without a hitch and. has more now about the bench. 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 non russian space board over the last eight years the european space agency e.s.a. has spent more than half a billion dollars on building a launch pad and adopting the soyuz for a south american space center in. this was all done by our engineers and designers we had to adapt to the climate here and to the different safety standards but we have proven ourselves with this new didn't modifications and crews well chosen location the soyuz will be able to take greater loads into space than ever before

at the lower prices than any competitor of the seas makers in russia also has done to benefit more than four decades after its first launch the soyuz should really be showing its age but a tremendous one of the world's most reliable rockets and in fact all of the 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 ferment popular not just because of its record. it might look similar to the earlier models but inside the so use is being constantly upgraded as is the reason we still use a 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 the 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 crew in the second half of the year and eventually a straight board will handle for launch as annually the russian side hopes the success of this project will encourage other space agencies to adopt the soyuz platform either on their party. well we can keep across all our stories and video reports around the clock dot com that's our web site here's what many of you are clicking on to right now journey back through sixty years when the u.s.s.r. signed up to the olympics and just a year later prove that soviet sportsmen and women knew how to go for gold. two decades of death defying stunts one of russia's leaving aerobatic team celebrates its twentieth birthday surprise squad with some magnificent maneuvers to buy all of the problems we got. online plus. and then i.
