thanks very much indeed for this and looking forward to seeing in the studio meantime russian authorities are stepping up the war on drugs in the country but for some the speed of progress just isn't fast enough now activists are taking a flight into their own hands but it's landing some of them in trouble with the law however the vigilantes say it ends justify the means it helps save lives are the national reports. it said all is fair in love and war and perhaps even more say in the war on drugs drugs that killed two point five million people every year across the globe and almost two hundred fifty men women and youngsters every day in russia alone some are fighting their own control virtual battle against the threat peyser as customers they arrange to meet alleged drug dealers and once they have satisfied this suspect is a drug pusher they serve them a black mark and leave them red faced. people have to know their enemies would be

like people will be afraid to go out next time because next time police may be there. these guys are not alone in russian there and conventional methods of fighting against drugs their colleagues from the drug free city movement have been accused of torturing addicts after they used handcuffs to force them to kick their habit they've also marked drug dealers houses to shame them in the community. it is our uprising against the drug dealers do you think it's better to sit at home and watch how the drug dealers will be killing you we managed to unite our forces and declare war to the drug dealers. sociologists a mob just as occurs when people become disillusioned by official efforts but the public taking the law into its own hands is an unwelcome trend growth in the border there are a lot of enthusiastic who are striving to eradicate this horrible evil by any means
4:13 am
possible but when their actions don't comply with the law the law is against them for sure we can eradicate this evil but only by legal methods there are over five million drug users in morden russia this number has almost doubled in the last decade alone vast amounts of money has been blown on reducing drug demand and treating addicts but statistics are just getting more and more gloomy. this is how some activists are trying to stop the menace threaten the country with warts approved by the mob do as they say will have to hide from the public for at least three weeks some are skeptical about their methods others even accuse them of who's going to put the end to drug vigilantes argue their form of justice is worth it if it helps save at least one lot of. grief and t. mosco. well most of the heroin used by addicts in russia is traffic from

syria has hit back at sanctions imposed on president bashar last of by the european union saying it will harm the syrian people european ministers have frozen assets assets and ban him from entering the e.u. sanctions were in response to the violent crackdown on anti-government protests in syria the rights activists over eight hundred people have been killed and thousands arrested since the uprisings began in march of the same meeting the e.u. also tightened measures against iran to pressure it to abandon its nuclear program while the us is also impose sanctions on the syrian president calling on him to leave the transition to democracy however middle east expert from parsi believes he won't go as far as the u.n. resolution similar to that imposed on the. syria is a much more complicated case because there are some other more important political actors in the region involved so i think a un resolution is much further down the line if at all obviously i mean we have first israel we have lebanon we have you run involved it's also a question of who then the people that might take over there is the internal

dynamics of having a religious minority in a sense being in control of the state and the whites under president bush. and what will happen to them if there is a sudden swing in any other direction basically the you can say that there is a certain inherent logic in sanctioning countries and that is that the list actually starts to improve in a way to reward would be to remove sanctions you would basically continue trying to up the ante by. a ratcheting up of pressure and in the case of iran we are just continuing that kind of path regardless of what's happening in syria the latest sanctions but if you're the ones that the would be iran's economy that is cutting it off from the financial system if you will that the world is having an effect on the ringgit society and the economy at large but they were put in place primarily in order to affect iran's ability to acquire nuclear capability that might and the need for a weapon and on that particular aspect i think they haven't had much of an effect
