again flared up. these are the images. from the streets of canada after. corporations. see the 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 fresh nato airstrikes hit the capital tripoli reportedly damaging the north korean embassy and gadhafi his compound and leading to more civilian their. crime with no expiring date a german court finds a ninety one year old former nazi death camp guard guilty of accessory to murder and sentences him to five years in jail. and commodities are finally reversed post games this hour after massive declines in the previous session for that and other

business news join me and many of us. watching r.t. live from moscow it's ten pm here now my name's kevin now in another top story the u.s. is running up the pressure on syria but secretary of state hillary clinton valiantly sheryll assad's government will be held accountable for the violence this comes on top of economic sanctions from the european union many say the situation is narrowing now the build up to the military intervention in libya out is going to change you can look takes 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 says 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 syria illegitimate now the source said it will be the first step what will be the seconds there or where those steps are in leading is unclear now the european union has already made some moves it impose a package of sanctions on syria which include asset freezes and travel bans for certain individuals but stopped short of adding the syrian president to their blackly is from what we're getting here in washington the u.s. could be airing our side 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 in leader also from the case of levy and 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 in america's north does not appeal to most americans we know that the

majority of americans oppose intervention in libya although the u.s. involvement is the politically covered up by the larger role of nato right many understand here. 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 maybe find it outrageous that the president could fail acted to pull them out of all these inconclusive wars could take on another one. to go on that you can discuss these latest developments in the region with dogs a professor of international relations and mideast studies at new york university thanks for being with the sort of program tonight the military action of libya was preceded was and it was. called the nation's no that's kind of what we're seeing happening right now with syria do you think it will end with intervention there as well. you know it might have to come to god i'm not sure that the united states or nato will in fact begin to bomb damascus or any part of syria any time soon but

the time has come for the united states to realize that this had said regime is not legitimate and the side must go and i think it's almost sound quite ridiculous that i said himself was excluded from the list of those who should not be troubling or are going to sanction basically a lukewarm sanction not serious sanctions it's going to really impact syria in very traumatic way so i think the united states and europe are correct to have the pressure on syria in a very significant way and make it clear that there celgene is no longer a legitimate regime and that assad must step down ok but who are they to decide who is right and who is wrong and what is a right legitimate regime. well you know this is being debated again time and again in washington as if syria without the family of said

family syria would be lost that is not the case there is a strong opposition there are many leaders who have been exiled or would be able to come to the fore once the days for them are an opportunity of feel safe enough to to to be able to sell and what they really stand for and the possibility for them to go back to syria but right now they are not sure even when the united states itself is not making health abundantly clear about the future certainly these opposition figures and leaders are not going not prepared to risk their life when there is no real opportunity for them to assume a leadership role once it is removed from power so the key here is in the hand of the united states to make to. do in so doing encourage these leaders to come to the fore and begin to organize themselves politically in order to try to. get the

transition taking a place this is the sooner than later i'm not suggesting there's going to happen any time soon it's going to take some time you said there once president assad leaves power you think he's going to go do you well i don't honestly don't believe that i can retain power at this point in time even if he prevails on the uprising and if he prevails on the streets all over syria his legitimacy is in serious question of this point in time i do not believe that the syrian people are going to accept the continuation of the assad regime from this point on let's talk briefly about libya if we can know for a minute or two can we get our feet made his first t.v. appearance in days scott should remain is dead then hours later more strikes on his compound is there a link you think of the timing of those two events. whether they have caused.

the both sides you know the rebels are looking at nato and nato is looking at the progress of the rebels are making and so when there is an advisement on one side the other side get it for a day and clarity but what my feeling is that both the united states again here and europe everyone has concluded everyone has concluded that qaddafi must go or this is no longer an option here is absolutely an option then the question is what are the means by which we can bring thank you what you saying there was here and you still working on bridge resolution just to protect the people in the country well this is true but you know why it is the nato and the united states have already exceeded the resolution of the united nations and i think rightly or wrongly for example russia itself who support no right rightly so this man is insane and he's a slaughtering his people i don't understand why is it that the united states or europe or for that matter even russia who supported the united nations resolution

or to be itself and also involved in this but two three three did it on a bipartisan i think of the sort of social pressure on this a little bit more don't you think if they're for going to prod it underhand way to . not really in the inner ear tell me or anyone would like to tell me how on this earth a person like a darky after to forty two years should be able to sustain and maintain power and then pass it on to his to his kids as if the entire libya is a family possession this cannot be it cannot happen the international community how to draw the line once and for all be that india be there in the m. and b. that in syria and we are to be very firm and very clear about our position and i think the arab states themselves those moderate states still will support us and this is what we have to do and. hesitating and and firm and vacillating is not working and the more we wait the more libyans and syrians will

die and that's going to rest on the conscious and the conscious of the international community took so long but a nurse thank you for your views on the program a professor of international relations and mideast studies at your university as you are. to come from the program a look at how the egyptian revolution backfired across the border we reported on how the house mubarak state has israel by brokering a sudden reconciliation of two of palestine's rival factions. next the german cause convicted a former nazi death camp guard of accessory to murder during world war two john demjanjuk was found guilty of helping to kill thousands of jews and was sentenced to five years in prison that is unless you're a jet ski reports. john demjanjuk has been released from court because his defense filed an appeal against this decision by the media 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 vis a vis the up with the government question given the fact that john demjanjuk association with the murder of more than twenty eight thousand jews in the sobibor because attrition can control 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. met those who remember the atrocities of the soviet war concentration camp in poland he only went through the gates of sobibor once there was no return unlike an other concentration camps such as al schmitz there was no slave labor people was sent immediately to their death. the all

suspects in jews were welcomed by a band and fiery speeches from the nazi commander sometimes the rapture 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 receded along this forest park called him and parched ass that was straight to have an s.s. man discourse of the victims down the track to the gas chambers only the ukrainian s.s. guards and the government s.s. officers were allowed to take out the task they were considered the most well trained and the most reliable and mongoose standing guard was john demjanjuk complicit in nearly twenty eight thousand counts of murder many of those he scores had to the gas chambers where children are not my friend in the room of course and you were surveyed believe it yourself mr i know and before. i had my very first of

. all i could go to her and i repeat those are going to save lives should be taken to show her guests and words before being sent to work at sobibor all guards underwent in times training demain you went to the trouble where the s.s. carried out proppants drills and combat training and even taking german language classes it is difficult to say very had. training here during the reign of instigators against the martyr war nobody from them told about the from that ng training or on the subject or in great total knew about soldiers army training caring account they were surprised that there was a worse kind of duty which we had to go. to the death camps. but victims' relatives believe all those who signed up as a sas man who are 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 prosecution of demjanjuk she made in her eighty's but she made it to every court session she wants him to admit that he was here and what so we were is it's not war it's not soldiers against these or it's killing people in a factory every war criminal this served its recovery or. never have never how many years it takes to this is a matter of going to have to be rushed. the demeanor of trial is a sign that the twenty first century is still prepared to deal with the evils of the twenty it would mean that there is no expire a date for crimes against humanity except in the direction of a r t c b board poland. well if we're talking about john demjanjuk case alone here in ukraine for all the eighteen months

a few strong he's had very strong support from some political forces here in this particular the movement i'd like to remind you of us that this party this is the very same movement which organized the street riots in the western ukrainian city of revolt from 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 were 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 nazi nazi slogans and nazi style propaganda in the crowd that is a part of course before strong the physical and verbal abuse of the great war veterans who came to lay flowers of different cemeteries across town well this is not of this sole case we've seen many cases many of similar cases across the some of the post soviet space some countries are post soviet space like the baltic states between in latvia where s.s. marches and glorification of the former s.s.

legions has been taking place for the last decade. a lack of knowledge about the brutality of the nazi regime. in fascist attitudes across the that's according to alexander. sure and international affairs expert. after the announcements of the. fall of multiculturalism in europe france germany and britain and the young people around europe the stop see believe in the ideas of the common europe young people feel they are threatened by the influx of migrants into their countries and they are looking for the justification of this dishonest dissatisfaction and no historical you got there was provided by party by the fascist ideology you can hear lots of things about whole cost but this is only possible problem. lots of young people they have no idea of what fascism is all about they see the romantic parts of it they see the mystical part of it it's. they think some of the think it's

clearly see the symbols but they don't see the ahora be all great and it's you know it's it's it's on the surface i mean it's easy to reach it's a great i mean streak easily installed into the minds of young people so they have to be an answer that they have to be structured that this is actually dangerous once you touch it i mean you're you're you're in fact very contagious and you know that in the looks of polish of your of the national history or your take control of sikhs i'm really much scared i'm afraid that it's going to be instituted i mean it is going to be a long term problem because it is already being installed into the political systems of europe. and xander sivana of the internet. now there's a lot more of the story of a john york including an interview with his lawyer on our website that's at our dot com. for troubled in the use of the threat articles from some countries to tighten border control just as the interior ministers have held

a meeting in brussels to discuss the problems caused by the spread of illegal immigrants from north africa across the continent i spoke to berlin based on. he told me the politicians are destroying the union they themselves created. but i think we are going big step back if it was through actions will take place and obviously it will take place in denmark and we will see where this will lead to i think other countries also rule in terms of restrictions of traveling and this is of course not good for for europe we have many problems 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 there's a lot of broken showing in three key prohibits restrictions in traveling and also must finish treaties prohibiting be a lot of countries in particular what are they doing there bailing them out so all

of the collusions in brussels must ask themselves if their own lot once created and now they are doing what they want so many people have many question marks about illegitimately of. leadership. common threats are about to get a joint response terrorism and drug trafficking have been tackled by president vetted it is pakistani counterpart to see the diary used in moscow on a four day visit the two men met in the kremlin knowledge of both countries are suffering from international islamist terror networks of the drug flow from afghanistan economic ties also came up with moscow in islamabad agreeing to boost the energy sector so in the next few days the pakistani leader plans to meet with the russian business community and also to visit some petersburg. will be brief bring you up to date on spain's been hit by its biggest earthquake in fifty years it's left at least eight people dead and dozens injured the quake measured five point two in magnitude it came several hours after an earlier it forced thousands

the region's geopolitics continues the ousting of president mubarak made it possible for the country to broker a historic reconciliation deal between two palestinian factions and hummus but that's proving worrying now for israel and its policy for r.t. reports there's an irony in how the western revolutions backfired for the us is long. most of the o.t. is happier than he's been in a long time the political activist used to be a member of fatah switched to harm us because he feels betrayed by fatah us dealings with israel and one hamas 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. it's not only me who is happy gyptian president hosni mubarak is gone all the arab world is the barack never had a connection with any muslim organization he had the same hate israel israelis

should be worried and israelis are the reconciliation deal between but her rivals hamas and fatah have signed recently in cairo took them by surprise and could never have happened before barak was still in power i think that there was a lot of mistrust between the hamas and that mubarak and his regime have looked upon barak not as a whole broker because of his ties. to deal ins for years of division between hamas and fattah and bitter prepares them for a plan to ration of palestinian statehood in september i am most afraid that hamas once they get. the west bank. 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 all is right this is one of the many checkpoints between israel and the palestinian territories as cairo extends a hand to the palestinians security here is unlikely to be beefed up in the three months since mubarak was ousted no one's replaced some believe the americans gave up the old friend to italy and to easily miscalculating that his replacement would be a democratic buy into the interest in. it's the generals who continue to call the shots and they are playing this man and that's union egypt want to. the way it has been run on the one hand but on the other hand we want to establish a new relationship with hamas we're not so sure about the new egyptian government act so ironically while rushing to enforce 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 raised her fight and missing the old wood or more new policy our teeth. will be enjoying our programs tonight just to tell you but we've got on air or not over on our website so news of pictures stories can feed of you all say a quick look at these stories as well going a lot of clicks capel fools joke about a comet the failed to raise a smile after a spark and i go to the internet and the fear is the doomsday wolf is now it's oh my god see the confirmation but it's true oddly enough this everyday household appliances cleaning up in the fight against drug dealers to want to clean or how wide is it r.t. dot com the answer tonight. every twenty minutes on sports politics we report on an expected to feed in russia

russia will not be selling foreign bones and will cut its domestic boring this year high the expected world prices this year have been pumping extra cash into the state budget that as you exports will add an extra forty billion dollars and cut the budget deficit to one percent of the gross domestic product this table also acts the message boring by twenty percent to just put two billion dollars some economists claim russia should take advantage of low cost of boring abroad and store up the extra world revenue however others point out that the nine hundred ninety eight volt still worries about unnecessary four and. all right let's move to commodity markets now crude prices have actually been posting and gains the past two hours later by half a dollar or so is brant this is after a massive selloff on wednesday w.c.s. almost ninety nine dollars put right back. precious metals are also you
