the latest news and the week's top stories here on our team the grass moves to hold the syrian regime accountable for violent crackdowns on protestors much like it did was hurled gadhafi just before leading airstrikes over leaving. the media rambles on for a crucial setback failing to secure official recognition of the often pass from washington. the recent influx of refugees from the arab world brings mistrust between the kenyans as the e.u. moles and president of border control measures. plus russia and the world

commemorates sixty six years of victory over the nuts and put fascist followers tarnish the anniversary by attacking war veterans. a.b.m. in the russian capital you're watching artsy on marina joshie welcome to the program well this week the u.s. mounted pressure on syria with a state secretary hillary clinton promising to punish a shahrazad government over the young going violence against protesters some eight hundred people have been killed since the beginning of anti-government demonstrations in the country the european union has already imposed economic sanctions on the regime and as the u.s. threatens tougher measures many say washington's appetite for intervention is inevitably leading to a libyan scenario in syria are his dyna shutdown reports. who is

a legitimate international leader and who is not it seems america will decide a white house source said the obama administration is edging closer to declaring ourselves ruling syria illegitimate and that it would be just the first there we will continue to work with our international partners. in the e.u. and elsewhere on additional steps to hold syria responsible for its gross human rights abuses sounds familiar the united states is helping to lead an international effort to deter further violence put in place unprecedented sanctions to hold the gadhafi government accountable when the u.s. says it's going to hold someone responsible expect action once the u.s. has officially declared the syrian government illegitimate. it it would open the door to various steps taken to

remove that government but the south proclaimed position of the u.s. as the world's policeman and judge of which government is legitimate or not doesn't sit well with everyone who's. now against. american president. and government is legitimate or not. even some of the u.s. long time allies like the yemeni president seem to be intimidated by disaster the white house to act as the arbiter of who will power in the world. oh are you president of the united states and president of the world when can damage government atrocities in different countries in the middle east and north africa the u.s. claims the higher moral ground declaring human rights is the basis for its involvement but the critics say this is a smokescreen for the real reason for interference in their d.n.a. . if your power and work from now on or were afraid.

when they. the process of. america's self-proclaimed humanitarian involvement has led it to take sides in the libyan civil war the us has pledged extensive support for the rebels newly released week in leaks cables show that the u.s. had been funneling money to syria's opposition for several years now but some say the help comes with strings attached nobody gives away money for nothing or arms and the u.s. sees the opportunity of putting in a friendly pro-american route a government response of some american interest the coalition efforts in libya have reached a dead end with the country now in military stalemate in the meantime civilian casualties there continue to grow. analysts say foreign involvement in syria could

trigger a much worse conflict serious in the heart of the arab world and it explodes or implodes it will affect all its neighboring countries iraq saudi arabia jordan israel lebanon. they're in they're all likely to get involved in a collapsing were a war torn serious serious partnership with iran has long been irritating washington yet another reason say some to go after us aren't relying on iran as your best friend and your only scripture egypt ally is not a viable way forward critics say the us takes on the role of world policeman not based on its inherent altruism but rather out of self interest and the bigger question is whether both interests have made the world safer or have to stabilize that more i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. all the policy of u.s. and its allies is more about

a struggle for world dominance than protecting civilians that's the view. down from the british civilians for peace in libya a group. the west would like the syrian regime like the libyan regime and like with his palestinian resistance to disappear yesterday now achieving that is a whole different kettle of fish i think where the west is now in this historical moment everyone knows that the uni polar world has finished entering into a multi-polar world and the west is panicking about that they can't sit back and allow the break nations in the global south just to rise up or for them to just go without go without a fight so now is really the historic opportunity for western germany to try to pull back a little bit of domination that they've lost in the last decade the libyan rebels have failed to gain official recognition from the u.s. government i talk raval official was even denied an audience with brock obama in

washington on friday the a grill is the first senior member of libya's national transitional council to visit the u.s. and after meeting american officials djibril said the rebels were having trouble getting washington to release colonel gadhafi is frozen assets administration had earlier promised to hand over some of the multi-billion dollar funds djibril also met french president nicolas sarkozy in paris on saturday there's no breakthrough there either in the leaving capital tripoli funerals were held for a group of muslim clerics legend killed by a nato airstrike as i wore activist kate hudson says the coalition's intervention is that insults national law. when the u.n. security council voted to take action against libya it was designed as they said to protect civilians and now it seems that with the escalation of the air attacks they are hitting as it seems more and more civil targets we've heard from a u.n. agency expressing the super security council that civilians are suffering in

a number of ways shortages of food and so on as a result of the airstrikes this again raises the question of international law it's not legal to intervene within civil wars and i think inviting. those leaders to washington for talks shows that obama is disregarding that aspect of international rule it's trampling upon the very legal structure that our states have built up over decades it is a regime change war that's absolutely apparent that of course again it's illegal under international law but they will do that. and frankly it does look as though now that they may intend to talk getting executed after. so that on this hour here on our t.v. russia those who fought in the world war two victory day celebrations commemorating the saudi triumph over nazi germany are marred by violent nationalists attacking

a veteran stay in ukraine. they have flocks of refugees fleeing the uprisings in the arab world is driving a wedge between the e.u. states some are calling to reinstate temporary or even permanent internal border controls within the union and as artie's daniel bushell reports europe may have opened the floodgates for trouble. the dream of european integration goes off the rails in a pizza feud between two of the e.u.'s founders france blocked all train services from italy after finding carriages full of african migrants italy had handed out visitors visas allowing travel in the european union that shattered the trust on which the e.u. visa free regime lies it has shown a kind of neutral mistrust between two partners between france and italy france considering that italy has not implemented in

a good way the rules. for thousands fleeing the violence in north africa italy is the nearest e.u. border security experts who've studied the country's patrol say they're on the strength but fellow member states argue they shouldn't have to pay for italy's mistakes we have responsible of the fact that he tell us just from the sea with people coming from outside and not able to fix the problem we are not criminals terrorist madmen we don't want them here. protested to the french embassy for quote voile ation of european principles france counters it already takes five times more immigrants than italy in peace here in the european parliament say they need to control immigration but with each member state putting its interests first and blaming each other for the problem migrants are just getting pulled from one state to another e.u. security chiefs this week held crisis talks admitted the systems break for abuse

one and the same applicants for asylum can have like seventy seventy five percent chance of being granted asylum in one country of the european union and less than one percent with the same reasons in another country states and they are taking the law into their own hands and whims they've been more reintroduced border controls for people coming from of the e.u. states build your home of the e.u. headquarters is now calling for the same thing. called immigrants to give back to each other this is not possible isn't possible for the people in question that it's not possible to. ask for more. growing numbers in the union biggest country which pulled the chicks to germany today post possible restrictions in terms of freedom of travel and this is really something that many people are concerned of rich nations in. e you also be

in the should be restrictions on working and benefits for citizens from a scintilla of east european states which join the union in two thousand and four were lifted on the first of may one n.e.p. will still flow to the u.k. attracts people from the countries that just joined it attracts people from outside the european union because they know once they get into a european or any country they can cross borders they can work if i want to or take advantage of a generous benefits system in most european or some european countries like britain for example and actually attracts more migration which is what we're seeing now from north africa the soiling of the shingled agreements on visa free travel e.u. leaders all smiles the fear now is they've opened the pandora's box that they no longer control. altie brussels. while the unrest in north africa

and the middle east is causing friction between the e.u. members earlier this week european m.p.'s voted in favor of requesting their own permanent representative and seat at the u.n. security council as part of an overall plan of common defense security and foreign policy the move has cost discord among some member states the u.k. has already said that it will not give up its permanent seat on the council for the sake of a single european seat carelessly charles taylor explains britain will fight to defend its where its people goes no way that the british government or the british conservative delegation i speak for the conservatives in the european parliament we would support any move which weakened our ability to protect our foreign policy interests and clearly being founding members of the un security council with a veto as a permanent member this is a major plank in being able to project our foreign policy interests and indeed we were so successful recently in collaboration with our french colleagues in securing

un security council resolution nineteen seventy three over libya so no we would not give up our seat in favor of an e.u. seat because at the end of the day the common the foreign security policy of the european union is only when we all agree and sometimes we don't all agree as was a case over iraq and has been the case regrettably in some ways over libya when the germans abstained so now it's essential as a defining characteristic of a nation's foreign policy the ability to speak when they want to in their national interest and clearly the seat on the u.n. is one of the most important things that we can have as a nuclear power as a founding member of the security council that is the united kingdom and i really can't see any traction for the u.k. government to want to do so. on the ninth of may russia commemorated sixty six years since the defeat of nazi germany in the great patriotic war the day kicked off with a traditional parade in red square with twenty thousand troops marching alongside

military life spectacle was attended by more veterans and the country's top ranking officials and that of silence was observed in a very of the twenty seven million people who died during the war big three day celebrations also took place in cities across russia and former soviet states however events were marred in western ukraine were violent nationalists attacked veterans artie's i.c.r.c. has the records and how the incidents being seen as part of a far right serve in europe. holiday for millions and still need room for sun unlike most of the two salute region on modern life the secret is simply came and visions displayed of new nazis and. several thousand afternoons from radical nationalist parties book the engines the red army soldiers cemeteries conventional war veterans from gives you insight and plain tributes some of this part of the grange will see my ninth as

a reason to celebrate leaving the soviet period to be a nurse an enduring months of occupation the same georgists ribbon is usually worn as a traditional may the ninth to commemorate those who died in the great crash or to war but on this day in the west and ukrainian capital city of the wolf putting this on your lapel would have meant serious risk regardless of whether you're a veteran or not. if you like you do or you don't know that the ribbons were forcibly removed from the chests of those who were heading to the graveyards along with the use of chances such as death to the mosque right nazi salutes hurling ropes and school boards that is how involved marks made the ninth general here in this picture i am a great person like the liberation of this life and the fascists that these people here do not let me come inside the century to lay flowers and he's great this is a. his grace. subsuming surprised even the little girls who had gone zeus to protest on victory day these were the scenes from last year on the nationalist wipe

their feet on the red victory banner. i spent thirteen years in detention in siberia my two brothers were killed with me or something like this it happened in a new country that. their heroes are people regarded worldwide as nazi collaborators replica shirts with the founders of the one nine hundred forty s. inserted on stick on london and then on our big hit here they are seeing this freedom fighters even go for a while before alongside the nazi army and kill civilians jews and russians in the gruesome manner how the mainstream political parties deal with the stores of movements today encourage them as we've seen in case you crane where i am expecting my. interest back to the hero although it appeared to be an anti russian protest but really it was a protest of the. ukrainian society in this case has to deal with and this is only part of the wider picture the perception of the past is making waves in other

former soviet states mainly as as marches and glorifying nots indigents in the balkan states such as last year and the stone yeah the danger is that people begin to forget what we fought for what veterans died for as we're seeing the reemergence of far right forces and nationalist forces that really in many senses resemble exactly those of the merge with hitler in the one hundred thirty such behavior and still only applies to the minority most people in this country still celebrate history with proper respect for the young you see should definitely allergic lanes leadership especially after demands for a revolution were clearly voiced by the i remarked let's see russia reporting from divorce in western ukraine. a german court has convicted a ninety one year old for his actions in a nazi death camp john demjanjuk was found guilty of helping to kill thousands of jews during world war two while serving as a guard our discussion of the relatives of those who perished under the nazi regime

a we had to down. in 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 was not it was one of the lucky few who survived so people who for the prosecution 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 so we war is it's not a war it's not soldiers against each other it's killing people it in effect three every war criminal who served or nothing or. never and never knew how many patients this is a matter of where they have to be. they give you new trial is assigned good the twenty first century is stupid pass out to do you would be evil so between a warning that there is no expire
