kaname cause a report on r t. r t two the idea of members poke at the blog should have a permanent seat at the un security council but critics say the union's enough problems are solved back home without getting more involved in international issues we've got a report. growing violence in syria prompts the international community for blood pressure on the country's sanctions but with a predicted call for regime change some theel there are echoes of million plus. this new secret that al qaida has been sending terrorists to russia and is continuing to do so president medvedev warns al-qaeda or agents saying they're among militants killed in anti terror operations in russia's north caucasus.

this is our team's time here wednesday night here in moscow welcome my name is kevin zero in on our top story tonight european m.p.'s have called for the union to have a permanent seat at the u.n. security council critics though of the initiative say that the e.u. rarely speaks with one voice anyway enough problems at home to solve without this bushel as the latest from brussels. there's been a furious reaction across the world and in brussels itself what rights does the european union have to lecture the world on war issues when it can't come to any agreements back at home and it can't sort out its own problems in the e.u. say experts there was no unity over the invasion of libya among e.u. member states we're currently seeing roy is in greece over the government's

handling of the country there and several states though want to help rescue fellow member state portugal's filled economy there's also the question do you do taxpayers want to bail out and pay for this extra cost at the time of financial crisis the move would leave e.u. . member states with three out of the six permanent positions on the council now several large parts of the world from asia to africa and latin america have no voice whatsoever and they already accuse the west of being overrepresented on vimeo organization and even e.u. members themselves are up in arms france and britain say it will dilute their sovereignty one british m.p. says he will fight the decision here same session europol you're a parliament agreed to open an office in the libyan rebel stronghold of being

causey which would quote facilitate assistance to the rebels fronting ickes nations the european union is going for beyond its powers in interfering in the work of other countries and far beyond its remit accorded to it by the un here declared head of the brussels office of the open europe think tank told me he doesn't deserve a seat since he sees it on the un security council. this is just sort of a resolution by the european parliament without any direct effect it just shows how basically out of touch many people in the european parliament or with the real world it's not a good idea for the e.u. to be in the security council the un security council is meant to contain only those foreign powers in the world that matter and the problem is that on many issues numbers they just don't agree it's only in the u.k.

have different interests and different opinions on for example how to deal with libya if you want to force them to to work together at all costs all the time they're probably going to have paralyzed in the end so that's not a good idea. he wants to steal power not only from foreign countries but from its own members as well critics say later this hour we'll be speaking to a euro skeptic amy pay who claims that the union is trying to take over control of financial policy from individual governments. for the first might look innocent but if you go deep behind in one particular risk the point is that there are some hidden measures but my lead to further. off a fiscal policy and tax policy i think the national government definitely should have full control over the tax policy over day of fiscal policy which means social systems pension systems health care systems be things should not be given up in

favor of european authorities or european institutions. the crackdown on anti-government protests in syria is intensifying with army tanks reportedly shelling residential districts in the third largest city of. human rights groups believe more than seven hundred fifty people have been killed since the unrest began almost two months ago and with the crackdown international pressure on the country to stop the violence is also growing thawing recently introduced eve sanctions the u.s. is reportedly considering calling for regime change now anders artie's lorimer reports parallels with the libyan scenario which started with similar initiatives not going on notice neither. rebels clash with security forces hundreds die and the west calls for the bloodshed to stop sanctions slapped down and arms sales in. but this isn't libya's spring it's syria and it's calling

a road map that led to just one place for its african arab neighbor nato intervention who watches it's a regime dissent tantalizing western leaders there's great excitement in washington . aspect of overthrowing the syrian government that's been on the track burner in washington or just. the e.u. has put the freeze on assets of thirteen top government military and intelligence leaders topping the list is this man the syrian president's younger brother he's described as the principal overseer of violence against protesters but no sanctions are being applied to the man calling the shots president assad himself to some asset is a convenient ally for the west although that's what was being said about dappy in recent years before the sanctions kicked in. member states including. perhaps think

it's still possible to do business but bashar. western educated. person educated wife as well so they see. the force of opera moderation in the country the e.u. says that could be censored if he fails to stop the brutal crushing of opposition but he needn't worry the arab lawyers association says no one his savvy would keep assets in their own names so sanctions are toothless the un and the international community is being reduced from an international organization. must take police authority whereby you begin to freeze assets of individuals sometimes the individuals. and you will but it's a it's a gimmick which is used in most of the instances and this gimmick is counterproductive because it just make noises. and i think it is.

effective or not europeans of growing a million with imposing sanctions but that was relatively easy to apply to libya which had long been suffering isolation even among arab states but syria has friends the west might be reluctant to provoke not only syria you know very sensitive environment as there is of course that creating a difficult situation or situation situation with israel you also have all these elections that syria has iran. as well with the palestinian house which to me to make a very dangerous for the whole community because we've been monitoring intervention in syria we know. president bashar assad's regime the u.k. led the charge in pushing for a quick response to the syrian crackdown and british foreign secretary william hague said he welcomes the sanctions but to bucklebury. all too familiar it's more

than six weeks since sanctions on libya which acts to failure and the public role at the diplomatic dice against syria can only prompts a similar fate and see the mediterranean gunships sail east here and it's r.t. . the director of the institute of islamic political thought made me earlier he told me sanctions and interventions only ever end up hurting people. i think we've seen the model in libya foreign intervention has only complicated things. intervention has not held a subtle problem in libya and i don't think it will help settle the problem in syria and we've seen sanctions there's a history of adopting sanctions in various places including iraq for many many years and only the only people suffered throughout the time when sanctions were

imposed in syria it is still different from the needy and scenario it is old course possible that we'll get there sometime but so long as the opponents of the region are not lured into using force into use into carrying arms then hopefully we will not end up with another libya because in libya it started becoming catastrophic when the revolution turned into an armed conflict. this is r.t. still to come in the program how just is the justice in georgia we. had seventy years of the soviet union seventy wars with jail and seven years of circus treaties regime good luck hundred lawyers on prison on a european court of justice ruling against tbilisi draws attention to how the government is tightening the noose around judges their party investigates also. we'll be getting some expert opinion on the plans of the u.s. state department spread billions on fighting internet censorship in countries of

washington d.c. authoritarian. leaders along sent and continues to send its agents into russia they are the words of president dmitri medvedev who underlined the terrorism is a shared international problem are these really good reports from moscow. president explains why russia is so interested in everything that's happening in regions like northern africa and the middle east and the meeting which was dedicated to matters of national security today and you can. operate issues to eliminate terrorists including the recent want to get. a directly linked to the security level within our country it's no secret that al qaida has been sending terrorists to russia and is continuing to do so. of course the president was talking about terrorists which are being sent to the office in northern called says like doug is telling coverage in the world fire for russian forces and they are conducting break it off races all

the relegating those terrorists and of course you have to remember that with the song is not in been gone the threat of al qaeda still looms very large though that mastermind is gone still terrorist to continue to operate all around the world russia is our number one most wanted terrorist don't talk him out of is actually still at large and he is responsible for the two most recent bombings in russia those of course where the explosions in moscow metro in last year and their recent terror attacks at moscow's dhamma dead iraqi airport so cold that the head of the biggest international terror going to six may be than the rest of those terrorists with numerous cells all over the world particularly in northern africa are still at large and the threat unfortunately still persists. and russia's chechen republic have a painful history of fighting terrorism but the worst use of this war are over is the biggest battles now if all of a football field as we find out in just a few minutes time. for. us to power the state wants to allocate nineteen million

dollars to fight internet censorship in countries whose regime america deems authoritarian primarily iran and china the money will go to develop new technology that will help convey to people material by their authorities u.s. documentary producer brian truly told me it's a political tool washington is using very selectively. it's an instrument to try and cause trouble for potential rivals competitors and one might look at a disability hypocritical although it's pretty normal practice that many countries in cajun you don't see the united states providing those funds could very expensive ship in saudi arabia or hurricane work better scanner a lot of countries around the world that severely censor the access of their population to the internet but here in the united states. we have trade as a potential rival certainly iran is on the on the in the crosshairs of the united

states. try to previous to the uprisings in egypt the regime for years censor the internet that you didn't see then allocating funds to break the censorship of the egyptian government and so i think you just have to look at this as just another instrument of the foreign policy objectives of the united states. another example that might seem somewhat hypocritical in the relationship to the money being allocated to break censorship in china or on for example is the treatment of the least from her in look at the treatment that they've done to bradley manning you know it is essentially torturing this young man who has not been convicted of anything but i can still being held in solitary confinement they move from one person show another. for providing information that is very necessary for people to have the order to have what they would consider to be a democratic. washington maybe planning to fear in china's web space with one eye

and then choose the other to shake hands with beijing that says it's trying to fix the cracks in their relationship with the well being of the u.s. of course we've greatly depends on that we've got a report on that tonight if you're interested online. if. it. was an. european court of human rights is fined georgia fifty thousand euros for an unfair investigation into the murder of a banker the government's obliged to pay their compensation to the victim's family but many doubt this is going to happen in a country that's increasingly branded a police state that is a country which over reports. a high profile murder and a low profile investigation the case of sounded good leon he became a byword for both in two thousand and six the twenty eight year old banker attended

a birthday party for one of georgia's top police officials where he fall into an argument with one of the guests the next morning his body with multiple injuries was found on the outskirts of the b.b.c. four police officers were eventually sentenced to up to eighty years for sandra's murder it was easter was not survive there were those in the court of history our starters the centers of the court the president issued decree. their release from. the prison so it shows it's also one more to reduce that. they were just ordinary citizens is that where are the protection of the pop operations of georgia dollars . an investigation wasn't even launched until hundreds of protesters went on to the streets of d.c. the victim's family looked for help from strasbourg and the cause of human rights in april european judges ruled the investigation was bungled and ministry of the

interior the prosecutor's office the prisons department the president of georgia and so on all acted in concert in preventing justice he also ruled that judges government should pay fifty thousand euros to the murdered man's relatives who do it to the general public in georgia had long ago given its verdict on the case but it's a big victory to the european court of knowledge is it now on a political level it means the attitude to lawlessness in georgia is changing and europe is not ready to forgive such abuses by saakashvili as regime. but lawyers have been following the case since the start doubt any compensation will be paid under the current leadership vision saakashvili the saakashvili regime is based on illegal biased courts. which he himself greater as a lawyer i can tell you that every acquittal has to be agreed with the prosecutor personally all the best was already behind bars and seventy years of the soviet

union seventy laws were jailed and seven years of service treaties regime ordered a hundred lawyers are in prison according to figures published by georgia's supreme court a staggering ninety nine point six percent of cases resulted in guilty verdicts and twenty ten almost none so defendants walk free sundress family's lawyer says no other country in europe has a conviction rate like this and it is a dangerous sign of the country becoming a police state europe's courts have long been concerned about georgia's failure to make corrupt high ranking officials face justice and using the police spawns millions that spans to create the image of a georgian policeman living up to the social ideals of serving and protecting its citizens and its like you'll struggle to bribe a policeman here and most certainly you could count on him to protect you from paris street crime but one of the true criminals are actually in the hierarchies

that the police who can the general public have truly chaffed. daily commercials show police work as among the most prestigious and transparent police posts made of glass so everyone can see what this is do and anticorruption movement or say eighty percent of people here trast their police if the government they believe works in the dark but if the death of sandra get really any underlines anything if the judges much trumpeted more than legal system dishes out a very different justice when its president saakashvili his inner circle that's in the frame it's in a virtue of archie the b.b.c. george you're. elsewhere in the world tonight and around authorities of perspective the long awaited trial of three americans they were detained in two thousand and one and taken into custody on the iran iraq border charged with espionage two of the u.s. citizens are being held in prison while the third was released a year later

a half million dollars bail they deny all allegations claiming they were hiking in the area the espionage charges could bring in a ten year jail sentence. holding firefighters and dumping down for an enormous blaze gutted a textile warehouse just outside wall saw scores of trucks and firefighters are still working at the site toxic smoke coming from the building forced the evacuation of people living nearby you know casualties in the course of the places on them. now it's unlikely but a little pitch football legend diego maradona against the chechen president ramzan kadyrov draw thousands to the republic's capital grozny tonight so the world's top soccer stars will go head to head with russian politicians and footballers to mark the opening of a new stadium the largest in southern russia. over reports from grozny. the ceremony of the opening is underway here in the capital city of chechen republic grozny and you can see behind my back at the amount of people that really shows how important this event is for everyone to read here and as we know these are not on

the people that came from the city it but also many people came from neighboring villages and republics now the question is who is going to play against the russian team and organizers of this avan say it's may include some of the superstars i just sound like you speak will steve mcmanaman but the biggest star that is such what there is of course is the formal world cup winning captain going up but also being invited boy keep around in the chechen capital grozny that see him up to a pool of the argentina legends and other stars has not yet been announced but it's main clear to see some stars of russian football of years past and also possible that the current player is all russian premier league now it's not the first time such kind of a bond just taking place here you crossed the two months ago of resilience former

football player is sixteen ounces. and he was the first one six four and this guy in my class and see him up will be out to do better but whatever the result a feast of food bowl is guaranteed. to go maradona the last. soccer of another sports highlights from today in twenty minutes time on this channel from moscow and i like a small sports have a talking business next with a trainer. hello there welcome to aunty's business update the latest creation from after bears the larger grantor has been praised by vladimir putin on a visit to the company's factory it's hoped the car will become a best seller when it goes on the market in december that he cannot buy a car over reports on attempts to steer russia's auto industry on the right track. it's was described today as a killer of cheap secondhand imports the new rather grand total cost about seven
