she lives on the. video on demand she's mine broadcasts. are essentially the palm of your. call. tonight on our t.v. u.s. builds pressure on syria as the state department slams the violent crackdown on protests there and promises washington will hold president assad's government accountable for the bloodshed. in libya meantime fresh nato air strikes in the capital tripoli reportedly damaging the north korean embassy and it could their fees compound leading to more civilian deaths. crying with no expire a date a german court finds of ninety one year old former nazi death camp guard guilty of excessive rates of murder and sentences him to five years in jail. and commodities are continuing their multi session decline with silver dropping another two percent

join me for the latest analysis of the market it's not even funny business. you or she got a lot from moscow it's nine pm here now welcome if you just joined this it's kevin owen here this hour in our top story the u.s. is ramping up the pressure on syria with secretary of state hillary clinton and with sharon assad's government will be held accountable for the violence this comes on top of economic sanctions from the european union and he said the situation is mirroring now the build up to the military intervention in libya and he's going to teach you can take a look at the similarities. the u.s. secretary of state called the syrian government's reprisals brutal and said they were responsible for hundreds of deaths hillary clinton also said the u.s. is looking to raise international pressure on the syrian government although she

stopped short of saying that bush assad has lost his legitimacy as a leader but a white house source said the obama administration is edging actually closer to declaring a solid ruling syria illegitimate now the source said it will be the first step what will be the second step or where those steps are leading it is unclear now the european union has already made some moves that oppose the package of sanctions on syria which include asset freezes and travel bans for certain individuals but stop sure of getting the syrian president to their blacklist but what we're getting here in washington the u.s. could be adding outside to their blacklist at any time and start calling for the syrian leader to step down it usually starts with sanctions as we've seen him leave you also from the case of we've you know we remember that the road from sanctions to active military intervention can be very short and very prompt the possibility of getting a new front to america's wars does not appeal to most americans we know that the

majority of americans oppose intervention in libya although the u.s. involvement this is the politically covered up by the larger role of nato right many understand here that for us it is the biggest contributor in nato and therefore they are no less involved also listening to what people say here about the possibility of getting involved in syria many find it outrageous that the president that they elected to pull them out of all these inconclusive wars could take on another one go to. central tripoli reportedly killing six civilians. this strikes a report of exactly the north korean embassy and the compound that killing just hours of made a t.v. appearance it was the first time he's been seen in public since a nato attack killed his youngest son and three grandchildren more than a week ago this is barack obama's reportedly invited rebel leaders for talks in

washington on friday let's get more on this situation and reveling in the region with. the author and journalist from paris. if you can put as i just mentioned it again overnight despite repeated pledges from a so that is only targeting military facilities this happened just after his t.v. appearance refuted rumors he was dead made those actions don't seem to have much their words the way it appears they want to dead at any cost. you know i think nato is under tremendous pressure to perform and i think they are doing their best players. probably much rely on the weekly originally planned to do in syria. where countries that first would it probably will win or ask them to start they'd be doing ok the problem was that they may not realize just how much a ragtag ok.d. really was on the ground with the rebels who are in that is had been warned iran relying on air power was knocked out of work. there have. been reports that barack

obama has invited libyan rebel leaders to the white house tomorrow also said to take kerry's proposal the game for frozen get past the a sense to the libyan opposition on the we are not proposing a mission in benghazi is that what's being called in forcing a no fly zone still no i think it's it's going beyond that when i think what's interesting is the contrast between libya where they are putting in for a moment pressuring and providing arms you know your war going on with what's been going on in bahrain in yemen and even in syria this. creation is going on in those countries you go to. look big i mean one out of those are you can produce well i'm not sure it's just a question of time a liberal anxious to get your thoughts on that i mean today we had comments by hillary clinton really racking up the pressure isn't the u.s. do you think heading down the exact same path with living in areas that are on my

street not at all i don't think good work with hillary clinton's words really. are going to i think between that and going militarily. into syria green in yemen is. frankly a good will never happen. respects. sure syria it certainly sounds not a negro being a military adventure and you're going to get there and most will notice also gives scarcely a word or word about bahrain and yemen where there's terrible repression as well. well following on from you know this talk the u.s. is going to call the cheryl assad's regime illegitimate but is washington really the place to decide what's legitimate is legitimate and not following on from exactly what you've been saying there what is the criteria if you can draw a leash exactly

a fair amount of this arrogance if you want for an american president to decide whether a government is legitimate or not means and we're to be in a world of the american spirit of setting that. pearland author and journalist on the line from paris pleasure of the program thank you. so ahead for this look at how the egyptian revolution back fired across the border we report on how the post mubarak state of israel by brokering a sudden reconciliation of two of palestine rival factions that's coming up. next a german court convicted a former nazi death camp guard of accessory to murder during world war two john berman york was found guilty of helping to kill thousands of jews and was sentenced to five years in prison i think alexy or jet ski reports. john demjanjuk has been released from court because his defense filed an appeal against this decision by

the munich court and clearly the man can walk for now until the appeal has been revised the ninety one year old ukrainian has been on trial for the last eighteen months or so this may sound very little this this brutal crime especially given the fact that john demjanjuk association with the murder of more than twenty eight thousand jews in the sobibor was attrition in full and was was established so that this prison term of five years happens only because john demjanjuk has already spent and eight years in an israeli prison and according to german legislators the usual prison term for the people who used to work in concentration in nazi concentration camps is about fifteen years now our correspondent i could see the groucho i met those who remember the atrocities of the soviet war concentration camp in poland you only want through the gates of sobibor once there was no return and like an other concentration camps such as our streets there was no slave

labor people were sent immediately to their death. the all suspecting jews were welcomed by a band and fiery speeches from the nazi commander sometimes the rapture and even won applause then came an invitation to shower after the long journey but it was all a deadly deception a quarter of a million jews preceded along this porous product called him and parched ah so it was straight to have an s.s. man a score to the victims down the track to the gas chambers only the ukrainian s.s. guards and the german s.s. officers were allowed to take up the task they were considered the most well trained and the most reliable among those standing guard was john demjanjuk complicit in nearly twenty eight thousand counts of murder many of those he scores had to the gas chambers were children most of my friends of course and recently he was seventeen but you're still destructive i know for you if i had relied on my

vice marshal. i could build of mine i reckon that's a good incentive to the last should begin with think you have to remember yes the bird was before being sent to work at sobibor all guards underwent intense training demain you want to the trial viki camp where the s.s. carried out weapons drills and combat training and even taking german language classes it is difficult to say very had. training here and investigations together very well for war and nobody from them told them all to follow that team training or anti-semitic training great cultural newbold soldiers army training hearing recount they were surprised that this was kind of a duty which we had to go. had to go and the death camps. but victims' relatives believe all those who signed up as a sas man were well aware of the duties they'd be carrying out mariam whose mother

was one of the lucky few who survived sobibor pushed for the persecution of demjanjuk she may be in her eighty's but she made it to every court session she wants him to admit that he was here and what soviet war is it's not a war it's not soldiers against each other it's killing people in a factory every war criminal the issue of choice is screaming think war. never learned never to see how many years you trace that there's a record or to have to be rushed. there jimmy new trial is assigned to the twenty first century is still prepared to deal with the evils of the try and hit a warning but there is no expire a date for crimes against humanity exceeding the gretsch of a r t studied war poland. well if we're talking about john demjanjuk states alone here

in ukraine for all the eighteen months of his trial he has had very strong support from some political forces here in this post obvious they some particular the border movement i'd like to remind to our viewers that this party the suborder is the very same movement which organized the street riots in the western ukrainian city of revolt on may the ninth just less than a week ago on the victory day celebrations and despite me saying that some are some saying in ukraine that this was a purely nationalist rally with people chanting slogans about the freedom of ukraine well i saw for myself on my own with my own eyes that these people were using nazi gestures notchy nazi slogans and nazi styled propaganda in the other crowd that is a part of course most course trumps the physical and verbal abuse of the great pressure as it were virgins who came to lay flowers of different cemeteries across town well this is not this sole case we've seen many cases many similar cases across the some of the post obvious space some countries of course obvious place

like the baltic states between latvia where s.s. marches and glorification of the former s.s. legions has been taking place for the last decade. and it will be interesting knowing a lot more about the story of john berman you're concluding an interview with his lawyer on our website. tonight. free travel within the e.u. is under threat of a call from some countries to tighten border control just as an interior ministers of the meeting in brussels to discuss the problem that's been caused by the spread of illegal immigrants from north africa across the continent discuss this with analyst michael ross scenes on the line from berlin tonight it to you some of your nation's insists the schengen pipe as it's called should remain others like denmark so they want to see a return to internal border controls do you think will prevail here. it's a difficult question but it seems to do things in jeopardy here in europe first and foremost of course the euro and secondly the freedom of travel with that which is

very essential for many europeans and also for the germans here on the street when they think about europe then it's the freedom of travel that they have and what we hear from denmark is really something their. people are discussing here not only in germany and keep in mind it's not only the ganesh people who. have more restrictions maybe in future comes to border turning to germany to do. possible restrictions in terms of freedom of travel and this is really something that many people are concerned of well indeed germany was outrageously very recently by the people who can no longer do so from north africa and may be heading their way ok what the support some countries of course like greece possibly quitting the eurozone others talk of closing the borders as well and i look at this it's a worrying sign for the usenet. yes we have many of warning signs

and i think the politicians of brazil have many things to do there's a big struggle going on is especially when it comes to the schengen treaty which basically prohibits. any travel restrictions but to have discussions going on for example you were part of european parliament or one of them a green called mr kahn be in the senate and now we have to demand visas from denish people where no lack across europe and this is really a father is collation in terms of freedom of travel and this shows exactly where the discussion is going this discussion is going and i think at the end of the day it will be like you all always said there because of the so-called danger the freedom of travel is being more and more restrictive and already some people here in germany not only german you think there's something else behind it of course

there is a little problem with migrations but these are not millions these are only thousands and i think it's not worth it it's not right to cross the border in order to prove probit these people become in this problem is not very large and it seems. a little bit exaggerated but you say that nonetheless if you were one of those refugees you wouldn't forget that you're about the uprisings that led to the flood of that now that's all about shutting down the borders not really fair is it if you were one of those refugees. if you are one of these refugees you have caused many many problems and i think maybe there are also some people in europe because we have to take them not all of them but some of them we have people here with problems here with demographic things in germany that means the people get older and older so what about getting a letting in some guns and all of this is discussed in germany already. we offer them something some people can come and they can to prevent this ship for example

to learn something to work later here in germany and this is the solution the solution cannot be to close the borders because then we have a different europe and a europe but nobody wanted well here you know is there a danger of the big dream is going to be shattered and we've seen calls for borders to be closed europe the europeans the rise of national scene fascist movements in some countries it does seem to be a worrying return to the past for the coms and doesn't it. because of course i think we are going big step back if directions will take place and obviously they will take place in denmark and we will see where this will lead to and i think other countries also rule go on in terms of restrictions of traveling and this is of course not good for for europe we have many problems with the with the euro as you already know we have many problems with the so-called rescue packages and we

have laws we have rules and always these rules are broken as is our world is searching and three people who do it with frictions in travelling on the there are some exemptions for thirty days or in special cases but basically it will hit it and also all must finish treaties prohibiting be a lot of countries and plotted what are they doing they are bailing them out so all of the politicians in brussels must ask themselves if their own law they can once did declare once created and now they are doing what they want so many people have many question marks about illegitimacy of berthold leadership and this treaty problem of destroying a problem that we have will let us kill it the problem in europe in general it's not only all the urine of it's old saw the freedom of travelling and this is really an existential thing that many people enjoy and if they are going to do many more

restrictions about it then we will have really a problem here in europe and this michael ross joining us a line from berlin tonight thanks for being on r.t. . common threats to get a joint response terrorism and drug trafficking has been tackled by president vet of his caucus tony counterpart to see families adare is in moscow on a four day visit the two men met in the kremlin acknowledging that both countries are suffering from international islamist terror networks right now and the drug flow too from a fantasy. economic ties also came up with moscow and islam about agreeing to the energy sector to the next few days the pakistani leader plans to meet with the russian business community and also to visit some petersburg. elsewhere around the world tonight spain has been hit by its biggest earthquake in fifty years which has left at least eight people dead and dozens injured of the quake measured five point two in magnitude it came several hours after only a tremor and it forced thousands to stay outdoors overnight major damage has been

caused to buildings in the southern city of lot of the worst affected in the area log on to our to you tube channel for more footage from the quake shaken region. in japan the operator of the trouble fukushima nuclear plant revealed the damage to one of the reactors that is worse than they'd previously thought tepco said it's now discovered nuclear fuel burned through the walls of reactor number one early on in the crisis but news comes amid concerns over a new radiation leak into the sea efforts to stabilize the situation at the site have been ongoing now for two months. the revolution in egypt may be over but the shift it brought about in the region's geopolitics continues the opening of president mubarak made it possible for the country to broker and historic reconciliation deal between two palestinian fractions. but that's proving worrying for israel and fall asleep reports there's irony in how the western revolutions backfired for the u.s. as longtime ally. most of ody is happier than he's been in

a long time the political activist used to be a member of fatah that switched to harm us because he feels betrayed dealings with israel and one who must might be considered a terrorist organization by israel and the united states only says the movement shares his goals goals that are now being furthered by a new friend kibo. it's not only me who's happy the egyptian president hosni mubarak is gone all the arab world is never had a connection with any muslim organization he had the same head is israel israelis should be worried and israelis are the reconciliation deal between britain rivals hamas and that have signed recently in cairo took them by surprise and could never have happened if mubarak was still in power i think there was a lot of mistrust between the hamas in the barak and his regime. honest broker because of his ties with the deal in his four years of division

between hamas and fattah and britta prepares them for the planet declaration of palestinian statehood in september i am most afraid that hamas. will get into the west bank in a kind of free legal way by the palestinian authority. sooner rather than later or they will overtake the west bank and this might be then a problem not only for the palestinians it will be a problem for israel and this is one of the many checkpoints between israel and the palestinian territories as cairo extends a hand to the palestinians security here is likely to be beefed up in the three months since mubarak was ousted no one's replaced him some believed the americans gave up the old friend to italy and to easily and this calculating that his replacement will be a democratic interests and. it's the generals who continue to call the shots and

they are playing this man the hamas fatah union egypt want to. the way that it has been run on the one hand but on the other hand they want to establish a new relationship with hamas we're not sure about the width of the new egyptian government backed so ironically while washington thought it was creating a safer middle east its closest ally israel is suffering a recent poll found that fifty four percent of egyptians want to see the egyptian israeli peace treaty cancelled a statistic that has his radius terrified and missing the old order more and more policy r.t. . now about five minutes time to get a special report on what's become a never ending war in lebanon with hundreds of thousands of unexploded bombs still posing a threat five years after the conflict ended that's the common good business first after a quick break hungry for the full story we've got it for. the

biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers on our team. which brighton if you. are from steve. santagati don't come. to warm welcome to business starts you would need to remember that just two weeks ago there was talk of a commodity super spike precious unknown precious metals soft commodities and all

posting of various records but see weeks is a long time in our talk as of bubbles bursting and the end of the boom cycle always lot of hands on from the saxo bank tells us what he thinks is happening. what we having right now is a bit of a reality check from investors with a special surveillance in these markets i think comes to levels where was one sustainable so we're seeing the call it was scaled back from investors a moment but generally seen the economic statistics over the last couple weeks starting to turn a little bit negative and modest been cautious about these high energy prices and how long it will have to before it starts have an impact on the general activity level and there are still worries about search johnnie's inflation is still rising and they're still tightening their monitor policies are so so there is a generally the shift from the supply side to no worry about the demand is slowing down. russia will not sell foreign bonds and will cut its domestic boring this year high than expected prices this year have been pumping extra cash into state budget and the g exports will add an extra forty billion dollars and cut the deficit to

one percent of the gross domestic product they say will also axe domestic growing by twenty percent just for three billion dollars some economists claim russia should take advantage of the low cost of borrowing abroad and still rock the actual revenue however others point out that after a night of thought the state still worries about necessary for and it. look at the commodities market is starting with oil crude prices have somewhat recovered as you can see their light sweet is now up by half a dollar so is brant even though we've seen a massive sell off for a second day or after wednesday's heavy declines. in the precious metals the situation has also changed for gold it's up by a point one percent the silver is still down with said after losing eight percent in the previous session and. some of the stocks now the reversal in commodities as also of course stocks in the u.s. the early declines this is couples with jobless claims dropping by forty four

thousand but cisco systems is down more than four percent after announcing a disappointing outlook and plans to cut stuff. european stocks is the closing picture for thursday footsie down half a percent that's down point seven percent new fans are one of the few stocks trading higher on the vax as airlines and travel stocks mostly got a boost from foreign oil prices but in russia that fall has caused a massive nosedive on the r.v.'s two point three percent my six one and a half he said think of the main losers that's gas from down three point three percent no good second other gas produces down one point seven five percent with seven actually bounce back and by the end of the trade a point six per. following news this in similar accounts and i know in brazil i think the sound outlines the markets for the day. or so.

in syria the same sort of course that was going on elsewhere in the emerging markets it's a very it's a for exploratory it's more it's like russia of. course inflation which is associated with. this is person who is for producers and. it's another thing when all of this. sort of from the market growth for the former home markets for. this has been her life with but investors despite that the oil prices. you know they're going to correct some of them you know probably three several days. kind of that so not see the headlines with carol is that what's.
