it is not i am the russian gavel you're watching r t on marina joshie there obliques says serious government has withdrawn heavy weapons from say his across the country and release some three hundred three thirty five hundred prisoners but the body confirms snipers are still a threat and called for an end to the shooting activists claim hundreds have been killed since the monitoring team arrived last week drawing criticism both from within syria and the arab group advisors to the least said observers should be were from because of the continuing violence their mission is to ensure compliance with the peace plan of the country analyst patrick henningsen thanks events in syria are being manipulative with western powers and arab allies backing insurgent groups to come out for him change. a lot of these so-called human rights reports definitely skewed in favor of whatever the current western policies coming out of the u.s. or london and paris of what they would like to see happen in syria which is many.

people in the u.s. state department and the u.k. foreign office and the u.n. want to frame this argument is that assad is having a crackdown on dissidents these are the dissidents these are in some cases armed insurgent and they're being backed in a material way by the u.s. and by some of these countries who actually are in the league the tart also has an interest in regime change in this country libya has sent al-qaeda fighters under the command of their tripoli governor to go and fight in syria this contravenes all united name and laws ok if the u.s. is actively involved in supporting this then they are culpable in international court egyptians are once again having to the polls in a certain round of parliamentary elections it's widely expected that as long as groups will win. and takeover from the current military rulers of the run up to the

final round of voting as seen clashes between the army and protesters as well as police raids on non-governmental organizations as a renegotiated our reports discontent with the current regime is running high. the revolution may have toppled hosni mubarak the manager of shien's accuse of corruption and suffocating freedom but no it's the ruling supreme council of armed forces which finds itself in hot water with the west following raids on human rights organizations last week i feel this is a very dangerous situation because you have to elections on the one hand. but the people on the streets pushing for change secularists who have links with these groups so that this big tension really between washington and kyra. cell phones and more than twenty boxes of documents were reportedly seized during raids by the police authorities promise all will be returned several questions remain what prompted the raids and what could possibly be so suspicious about it

and you operators in post revolutionary egypt. and the members of the arabic center for an independent judiciary never did get an official explanation for the confiscation of their documents or the eviction from their office that followed. we don't know what they were searching for we told them we could give them anything they wanted but they came in search everything and didn't give a simple answer whether they wanted bank statements or anything else other than one person from him sitting on a sidewalk by their former office the vix to n.g.o.s workers point out a certain irony this never happened when mubarak was in charge says i would surprise. the police like. the current system at least i'll support this. he can't take a position. like that is so he moderates the activity of the human race would be they should. see. this is

a. human rights activists in egypt believe the rays are attempts to punish them for accusing military rulers of failing to carry through democratic reforms but western observers say the authorities are becoming increasingly wary of the ever watchful eye from washington and the true purpose of raids is to prove foreign funding over again is ations which authorities accuse of destabilizing egypt seems to be a strand of opinion inside the military inside the state machine that. is very disillusioned with the old friendship with the west and may be trying to find evidence to prove some of the trouble on the streets some of the troubling times has been in some way forced by these n.g.o.s washington tirelessly repeats the old adagio of the importance of its relations with egypt as a key player in the middle east but blight talk may hide

a very different agenda washington doesn't want stabilization they want to be permanent so that they can you know use that as a lever in the entire region egyptian activists aren't too happy with western help which they say can do more harm than good. i mean i don't like the way foreign countries put pressure on egyptian authorities that the pressure has to come from the egyptians and we as a human rights organization should provide it with the market my mother knew from us whatever the real reasons for the raids of n.g.o.s says the increasing internal strife in the country could portend a shipwreck not just for egypt's relations with the west but for the country's revolution in cairo. r.t. . and coming up on our t.v. making the russian army buying your work in moscow was reversing it down our words military billions poured into reforms and new weaponry. also. in this new global

business we will be all nazis rule here. residents of a quiet german town are trying to stop and you not see epidemic from spreading but are there afterwards enough to investigate. iran has successfully test fired a selection of different missiles on the last of ten days of naval war games in the gulf western powers have described the exercise as evidence of iran's volatile behavior france said the missile test sent out bad signals to the international community iran also held an exercise simulating down of the strait of hormuz it said it had no immediate attention of actually doing so earlier tehran threatened to block the world's most important oil route if the west stepped up sanctions against the country's nuclear program and saturday u.s. president barack obama signed a bill targeting iran's oil and financial sector its side mohammad marandi from the university of tehran says america is provoking iran. it is really the americans

that are being provocative they are trying to make ordinary iranians suffer at the same time you see senior american officials and politicians constantly calling for the assassination of iranian scientists of iranian military commander politicians and the constant threat of attacking and bombing the country so really the problem lies with the united states the maneuvers in the persian gulf are basically to show the united states that iran is strong and can protect themselves and it is basically the only way in which to force the united states to recognize that certain mines just simply shouldn't be crossed if the americans and its allies try to make the iranian economy suffocate the iranians will have no option but to respond in a sea of severe manner this is a region where extraordinary an. ordinarily

a large amount of oil and gas. goes through and if there is insecurity in the region it's not just the strait of hormuz if there is a conflict in the persian gulf tankers who will be at risk that boil installations will be this war is hell and this instability will go beyond the persian gulf it will i think of oil exports and gas exports will be at risk in central asia and throughout the middle east and there will be a lot of. backlash from the public throughout the region the collapse of the military or a out as we have seen a gradual decay of russia's armed forces and major reforms have been put in place to put them back on track moscow will pour over six hundred billion dollars into refitting the army over the next ten years and there's a new man in charge as well russia's former and void to nato well now put is long experience to good use helping revamp the country's military is tom barton explains why changes are needed. the russian armed forces the

pride of the nation or are they the russian forces certainly falling behind and have fallen behind some of the larger arrivals new equipment is a priority there's also a dire need for reforms in organization recruitment training pay and military doctrine the government has promised six hundred forty billion dollars over the next ten years to buy new weapons but russian arms manufacturers are no longer what they used to be me she just. me now is in need of contemporary modern equipment and if the russian defense industry can't yet provide us with what we need. broad new purchases include this london ship the mistral got from france lorries from italy and flying drones from israel drones as proof of the tickler problem the defense ministry dismayed by the russian company tasked with designing and building them. i

asked them what was their problem and what prevented them from producing good vehicles the enterprise's bosses found plenty of excuses such as the absence of engines gliders exaction and i now know how much money they received and i saw the rubbish they produced not all new russian made weapons are falling below standard the su thirty four fighter bomber is widely considered an exceptional aircraft but so few have been delivered that the older models they were to replace were starting to fail although russian designers come up with some excellent hardware for instance in terms of fighter and combat aircraft some time the industry has trouble in maintaining these at a high level and that should reduce the number of the kind of numbers of the armed forces needed and the reform still have angry opponents to both in and outside the armed forces many of them argue that the we are moment is going just fine and that buying foreign weapons undermines russia's military. depends very much. we are

becoming dependent on foreign suppliers of spare parts for military equipment on foreign military personnel training on foreign supplies with specific fuels and lubricants and other substances needed for the new equipment. in two thousand and eight russian forces pushed the children out of south said in just five days but experts were dismayed how outdated clumsy the russian army looked when faced with real position it reinforced the need for serious change the money being thrown at the problem is vast the regiments of rubles on the road on to enough most the defense ministry now know that before the armed forces are ready for more conflict a very long and very demanding war for a for must be won here in the corridors of government and in factories around russia. r.t. moscow so i have for you this hour the key to success the same question everybody

that had split our town some say we're exaggerating and are only making things worse by attracting too much attention but i think they're simply afraid activists say it's easy for neo nazis to recruit new members especially among disillusioned and dejected teenagers with poor infrastructure and high unemployment and few social schemes which the town can offer it's often simply boredom driving them to extremes. with a population of just around six thousand people sausan is a typical small german town far away from large industries and financial centers life here is peaceful or at least it used to be before two thousand and nine mr vantine and the other activists are not going to back down until life returns back to normal but unfortunately the problem with neo nazis in germany exists on a much wider scale thousands of new gather for

john kaminski used to earn a living trading coaling great britain but fifteen years ago he moved to russia married a russian woman and became a farmer he now owns one of the country's most profitable daily farms. when we went on these lines people hadn't worked on the between the years we had fall is growing today these lines are now working we have a well over four thousand acres this year ten twelve years ago people are paying a bubble for milk and even as a rule we started our project we thought we could make money out of that we talked to various parties a place it was a good idea the milk market will be there and we went ahead. the first problem we encountered i think with normal was that the workers expected that they'd lost by by mr started and now john had to write in the first year that we were here we were changing ninety percent of the start of the month and we couldn't find anybody that we thought could manage such

a modern farm so in the end we decided to cover our risk we would look overseas and i interviewed many people and in the end we have a young american now running the farm he's been with us for six years with his family we should look at the manure more what do you think it's good it's a nice cow nice color. how is that easiest thing to manage its people because the problem probably number one problem i saw with people was they never had to take on responsibility for themselves now we've kind of. made this a team effort here where people have personal responsibility and. we go as far as to tell them each day what they have to do and what has to be there for certain forms to fill out so that we can see they did their job either you love money or you love russia without that you can't work it because the frustrations of the bureaucracy is the main thing there are just too many laws every day you just finding new ones in a farm in the west

a husband and wife and an accountant an external accountant to run the farm here i've got fourteen people in the office it really is the sense that in order for you to get a desired it's a very long road in the west it's faster you need to do some treatment which. typically here on a russian farm there's someone that's your boss. and someone's boss is someone else's boss here we don't have that it's me i'm the boss of the farm and then we have workers that's it there's no middle management. it was much harder ten years ago we had to go running around asking do you want. in these ten years the market has evolved we've got investments now we've got down on the god we've got. money from germany we've got company now and we've got pepsi if you work it properly you've got big plans you can do big problems and should really efficiency of scale because lannes more efficiency starts to be a big advantage in america we don't have that chance anymore because the land's all taken it's very expensive to begin farming here we have

a chance to take as much land as needed because it's not used. and our ears are cold and temperature was ok this morning there's always a challenge in america gets boring after a while everything's there everything is simple here. the same question everybody has a farmer all over the world that we radiate so we like it i do it because. when we started i didn't know anything about it but the more i worked on the line the became of the more i mean he felt i was a real person i come here and i see that affected the lives of over one hundred people the local community now and the shops become better and we're producing something that really is worth something i spent all my life selling and buying millions of tons of coal i never saw the color dissipate but here i'm seeing the product i get a great sense of satisfaction by doing. and
