carries no one in the qualification points it still manages to attract the world's top let it talent year after year and let's jump straight to our selected winners where olympic champion and race you know recorded the best sleep in the world this season in the high jump clearing two meters and thirty six centimeters while european champion alexander sure stopped finished in second place after failing to overcome the two metre thirty two centimeter mark. if i had not set the bar if i had stopped to thirty six of me then naturally i would not have anyone to vacation to keep trying to remember to thirty four would have been enough for me that would have stopped there from what i went on i will keep trying to jump a bit to forty one one. olympic champion hugely boards like off ski was only six hundred of a second short of the national record finishing second to the continent's broader i jump shot the ball into the cross the line in one minute fifteen point six seconds

assault and amateur footage showing the alleged shelling can't be verified as our reports an absence of credible credibility in video evidence from the country raises questions as to exactly what's happening there you may find some of the images in this report disturbing. each video and social networking sites have for the past ten months being one of the activists the means of offering the world glimpses of the violence this tool in three syria action is good support how we got the brick through and we've just seen pictures which the b.b.c. called verify the same many differing numbers and reports getting to the ball some of what's really going on is a major challenge even from inside the country. oh i think they think. there was a. head of the u.n. security council showdown this weekend and the violence in syria seemed to reach

fever pitch with activists reporting a massacre in homs that was all over the headlines and watched with horror by people worldwide initially the death toll that night was put over two hundred and say there could be as many as two hundred just in the last hour or two that was later significantly downgraded strict access policies they have made it difficult for many foreign networks to get their correspondents into the country to collect evidence at the end of last year i leveled this criticism at the foreign minister's spokesman we have never banned the media by the way. because of the objectivity we've been filtering but you how can you justify for instance you on the people relying on you to. in broadcasting one side even though or even on you tube you have also atrocity committed by the. it's true that

to a large extent mainstream coverage of the truth of that can has been pretty spun as this graphic video appears to show every. being hanged with the clear picture of exactly what's happening in syria right now to know what the western allies that the un basing their assertions which is not really about genuine concern for human rights and democracy this is all about region change dissatisfied with the wording of the resolution especially in china v tahj the latest proposal many felt it contained disturbing a case of libya pressuring china believes the dual rape in the foreign military intervention as a conflict between the two sides escalates the crisis is becoming increasingly internationalized but he misses him plays well to try to put an end to the violence again has to be very careful not to make the same mistakes made in libya.

looking like. indecent and hysterical that's how russia's foreign minister characterized criticism by some western countries of the russian china double veto sort of rob was speaking ahead of his upcoming trip to damascus where he's scheduled to meet with the country's authorities tuesday archy's peter all for house more. this was continuing on from that the sitting by china and russia to veto the recent un resolution on syria from moscow sergey lavrov saying that russia had asked the u.n. security council to delay the vote for several days in order to allow mr leavitt off to complete his trip to damascus now they were that request were turned down by the u.n. security council so he left off heading to damascus on tuesday bearing with him a message from president commute premed get every message that's believed to request the assad government make strong democratic changes in the country now the

foreign ministry very unhappy about this the russian government very unhappy in fact going as far as to call it disrespectful to allow the not allow the vote to be delayed until. a level of completed that trip now. with regards to the comments that have been made from around the world following that the session by china and russia to veto the u.n. resolution with condemnation from the united states from france from great britain the foreign secretary in great britain going as far as to say that this meant there was blood on the hands of those that had vetoed it well so very unhappy about these comments he was speaking at a press conference alongside people here in a foreign minister he said that he was scathing in his response to those comments made from abroad some western comments on the outcome of the u.n. security council syrian resolution vote sounded decent and almost hysterical in this connection i recall the old saying that those who are angry are really right

why these are still recall statements attempts are being made to blur what is really happening in syria and what's really happening is that there are several sources of violence in syria not just one it seems that the resolution cool authors who rushed to vote despite the odds are more interested in simply finding somebody to blame drawing attention away from the armed group. there are receiving weapons and other kinds of encouragement from abroad but with regards to why russia vetoed the resolution over the weekend twelve russia's position on syria has always been the same they condemn both sides both the assad killed and the the opposition and want them both sides to put down their weapons and come to the table for talks now as far as russia will come soon the resolution was on the table only focused on the government forces and didn't make any requests from the the opposition to lay down their arms and as far as russia concerned that's not acceptable when it comes to a u.n. resolution on syria let's get more reaction on the situation in and around syria

with dr omar to xabi a lecturer and professor at the lebanese american university of beirut so why do you think the u.s. and e.u. rushed to put the resolution on syria to a vote even to russia asked for a delay until foreign minister lavrov met with the syrian government. well i think there are some political objectives behind that but let's let's just clarify that the that the russian position and the chinese position was not to support the syrian regime or to support the. heart of is that are coming from syria on the contrary quite the opposite it was to stop this bloodshed and interview of russia and china to stop this bloodshed is to stick to the you and charter and the principles of the un charter and to stick to the united nations as an organization that works with peace and therefore that encourages dialogue and that with that i think is the position of russia by actually saying that there should be more time

to actually for the attempts the russian attempts to model minister lavrov is going to be. in syria he would attempt to bring the parties together closer together to actually sit down on a table and solve things in peaceful ways if there are some of the forms that should be done on the on the part of the regime but also there are obligations on the part of the civilians to give up their weapons that they are using against the syrian army this is i think they should be more time and this is why the russian position was soul firm and so clear and so confident because they believe that there should be time and an opportunity for a peaceful settlement because as minister lavrov said there are there is not one side using violence there are several sides if you actually call upon president

assad to step down president assad represents what is left of the central government that is. keeping syria together as a country that is supposed to provide services to its people if you remove the central government then there will be care. it's all over syria and there would be a situation that would be almost impossible to control and the whole region will see into more bloodshed and the i think the russians have enough knowledge of the region to actually know what to expect and that is the wrong move forward if the united nation truly wants to set the situation with and to stop the bloodshed there should be a direction to words dialogue and two words negotiations and towards a peaceful settlement for this problem that is becoming ugly day after day and we are seeing very disturbing images on your screen a few minutes ago russia and china over

a period lee said the syrian government and the opposition share blame for the ongoing crisis some western and arab states are stepping up the diplomatic offensive but only against the regime why do you think that is. well obviously i go back to my main answer there are some political objectives i think that there are political objectives on the part of the united states and to some european countries in syria. ironically they are using the principles of human rights and democracy to actually push forward all this and move and by you know supporting these armed groups and this is ironic because they have been in support of the assad government in the past and. not much has changed in fact if there is something that changed in syria is that since the houses that said the regime was in power until today there were more reforms in syria and there was an ease to the secret police there was a more economic freedom there is more freedom of expression in syria so i think

they should have waited a bit more to see if these reforms are going to become more concrete president assad promised that he would make these reforms more concrete he wasn't given a chance. for critical measures against the assad regime because of the violence in syria it doesn't have although very spotless human rights record itself do you think saudi arabia is in a position to make such a call. i think saudi arabia is in a very difficult position because saudi arabia there are some problems inside saudi arabia old soul and there is the issue of the train that was never raised and the security council the saudi army the saudi army entered the territory to actually help the bahraini police to oppress people who were calling for democratic reform and behind that was never involved and that was never discussed in the security council and that shows a clear. selective justice selective interference.

in the name of democracy which actually makes it lose its meaning makes it really clear that the americans and their western allies are not sincere when they talk about freedom and democracy they are consistent and they are selective where it suits their interests they push forward where it doesn't they try to hide it and and in and there is a continuous oppression. continuous problems demonstrators are just calling for dialogue with the king so that they can have a settlement that is suitable and in the lines of democracy and freedom and that is not accepted so i hope the saudis will review their position i hope that everybody will take a few steps back and try to think about the suffering of innocent civilians in syria today there are thousands of people suffering this must stop immediately the

removal of the regime of president assad will not to make this stop the minister lavrov and i repeat said that there are several groups using the violence in syria hands moving one group will not help but the only solution forward is to actually sit on a table and discuss the democratic reforms or a doctor or a shabby lecture a professor at the lebanese american university of beirut thanks for your insight. stay with us here on r.t. still ahead this hour a whistleblower is nominated for the nobel peace prize and you were very huge difference in secret files to wiki leaks now want to list of candidates for the prestigious award. that anders breivik appears in court sharing shocking comments as survivors look on in disbelief. but first with less than a month to go before russia's presidential vote emotions are running high and the

camps are running into high gear following a day of demonstrations in russia a prime minister and presidential candidate let him near putin continues laying out his electoral program this time it's more about web shape democracy with the initiatives allowing people to suggest their own laws online or. well the main idea of the sort of go is that civil society in russia has grown and developed and become much more active most importantly compared to say ten years ago and what comes to the state well it's a lagging behind at the moment people do want to be more active and have more influence on the political life and one of the mechanisms providing them with these opportunities is the internet and this is not only about the tens of thousands of people who now take to the streets for this or that rally is about millions of internet users in russia who over the past few years have become very active there is scores of blogs and forums videos all internet wars between political

movements and all of them are going on on the web and the prime minister wants to see the role of the internet is influenced increase more user friendly government websites to provide proper bases for public discussion and not only on initiatives put forward by the state any person any internet user has to be able to put forward their own draft law and if it gains say one hundred thousand approval signatures from other users it has to be reviewed by the parliament the internet also gives another opportunity to evaluate civil servants for example if locals of a district of any city are not satisfied with the way the head of the local police department works or a judge or even a principal of a local school they have to be able to voice their concerns on the web be heard by the authorities so that the civil servants can be substituted but let's move the web aside for a bit and focus on other initiatives like reintroducing the elections of local governors was initially put forward by the president supported by the prime

minister now another initiative in this sphere is easing the rules for registering new political parties which should make way for more competition because now this brings us to another problem of corruption and the prime minister is proposing to increase the salaries. civil servants in exchange for their complete transparency and put together a list of the most corrupt jobs and if in the ninety's many people wanted to become all the guards now there a need for civil servants because these positions are often viewed as possibilities to make easy money quick and according to the prime minister. it's time for that to change as well. the name private bradley manning a u.s. soldier accused of passing classified material to whistle blowing web site wiki leaks has occasionally made it into the headlines mostly in connection with his trial but now his name is on a different list that of more than two hundred nominees for the nobel peace prize to discuss the nomination and what it could mean enjoying life in new york by clark's.
