the u.n. special envoy to syria kofi annan says the security council to speak with one voice to support his peace mission as russia calls on western powers to press the syrian opposition to negotiate. an annual march in riga commemorating those who fought on hitler's side condemnation from both inside the country and abroad to get some backing from the latvian leadership . and the u.s. identifies the soldier suspected of killing sixteen civilians left gonna start with afghan investigation claims he wasn't working alone.

costing live from moscow this is our team welcome to the program un special envoy kofi annan has urged the blocks most powerful body to act cautiously on the syrian crisis and support his peace mission prior to his briefing with the security council russia said it was using its contacts with the syrian regime to get them to cooperate and it's also called on western powers to do the same and the opposition teams report not the latest from new york. special envoy kofi annan said that he will be sending his team to damascus as early as this weekend to begin to scott saying plans his plans to deploy international monitors there he said the first objective is to of course stop all the violence and bloodshed taking place in syria and to establish an impended humanitarian assistance for all those in need in

syria he said if the syrian conflict is not handled properly and handled quickly the end results could be disastrous for the entire region kofi annan the u.n. arab league special envoy to syria also pleaded with u.n. security council members to finally break their deadlock and come to a consensus and speak with one voice he said that a will not only. give credibility to the international community but it will also help establish peace in syria and help his process just last week and he did travel to syria he met with syrian president bashar al assad he also did meet with members of the opposition group he said that while there are clearly are differing opinions and ceasefire has not been established yet he is making all the efforts that could possibly be made russia has

called on all security council members to support kofi annan efforts in syria and to not undermine it because of this if you have a feeling it every time we manage to achieve some positive change in the streets of damascus there's an immediate counterweight reaction and any steps forward are dismissed i hope this will be the case of how countries in the middle east and some western states treat the mission of kofi anon. we see that their efforts are being made continually on on the international level at this point if mr anon gets the support he's asking for from the security council maybe eventually we'll see some some peace process coming to syria but at this point there is going to be a mission heading to damascus this weekend to continue. a plan where rob lyons a pretty editor of online magazine spiked and he was the position of some international players may create serious hurdles for those diplomatic efforts. very

difficult to see. because america britain and france have been very clear that they want to be regime change in syria they're not really prepared to settle for anything less than violence and as a result obviously the syrian government doesn't want to be replaced so there is a basic. not situation with russia and china seems to be hoping for some kind of in between solution those monitors on the ground and so forth and that may be a step forward but fundamentally the. attitude of major western governments. is to go much much further in terms of replacing the assad regime about just as much room for compromise on the. we want to know what you think about iran's mission to syria and whether it will bear fruit and cast your vote web site r.t. dot com yeah george you were saying the mission failed because the u.s.

and its allies want to see our side out but it will compromise i also believe it's too late for a diplomatic solution five percent and iran will manage to cease fire. just two percent of you said. difficult as a tsunami prevented lotty dot com is the place to get your voice. but it happens every year and provokes the wrath of those who remember nazi atrocities every thousand latvians have held there i know not when writing those who fought the head was often assessed division's gatherings condemned by many here and abroad as a misguided inspiration for young new nazis nazis jack agrees reports there's been decades of change since the world where nazi germany dominated despite the bloody legacy and some courses of europe you still have an audience.

the jews are crying about the holocaust between nineteen forty nine hundred forty one and the word for the bolsheviks killed me i think they received it would be deserved. this is one thousand five hundred people gathered to officially commemorate those who force alongside hitler's armies and joins the waffen s.s. meeting stoking fears of a neo nazi resurgence in latvia. we cannot be silent when the people. in memory of the nads east of the birth and this is our marketing industry a member of the european union those in the crowd defend their start saying the so called legionnaires' were fighting for liberty at a time when tyranny faced latvia from all directions it was a military force formed in one thousand nine hundred forty three from volunteers and members of the disbanded latvian auxiliary police responsible for the mass

killing of jews this image of these youths lining the streets to welcome in veterans commemorating legionnaires day is one that has become commonplace it was also something that is increasingly warring observers if it may represent a rise of the far right those same commentators are asking why this message is being supported at the very top of the country's leadership. levien president and g.'s bers inch has argued it is foolish to assume that what an s.s. veterans are criminals same age deserve the public's respect people who are in charge in certain positions of all thirteen should not be setting examples where young people start to believe that a buff n s s is something that you should wish to follow echoing such sentiment and see fascist groups governing by in a protest of the annual march the rise in far right rhetoric is not unique to let via was a continent rich by financial crisis ultra nationalists and has been growing throughout

europe you've got the fascist right people of power proud of being fought over ethernet or and or whatever and you've got the fascist like the people who probably marine le pen in france are actually coming from that kind of milieu coming from that kind of position is the growth most apparent in marches that celebrate those who others struggle them accompanied by personal messages such as this one made it a latvian t.v. station they stand as a striking image of europe's lingering past. but could have an increasing impact on its future greaves r.t. reader in latvia. but coming up this hour through wind rain and snow it's always the season of the protests. brought me here was that feeling that something was incredibly wrong with society in the system in general everything that we you know

recall that seven years ago in iraq in the city. there are twenty four hour iraqi civilians were killed by nine u.s. servicemen none of whom were prosecuted for their crimes the leader of the group was simply charged with their option of duty and broken and ran. you know which is hardly commensurate you know punishment but there's a difference between so-called collateral damage and targeted killings that have occurred it's somebody several of the houses in a remote village were there were people around it off and in a sense the afghan government said seventeen or more of them were these and i'm one of nine children three women and so forth this suggests first of all of the one person good hearted we're very good at crime in this on this is a very deliberate you know action and then for us to drive over three hours and with analysis disingenuous well if he's going to chickenshit to kind of we have kerry who shot and he's the u.s.

military is trying to shift blame in the wake of the shooting rampage focusing on the mental states of stuff sergeant robert bales and said it's a foreign policy. they're raging debates about punctuation masacre has been taken apart into two extremes first the shrinks both civilians and military alike claimed that it has nothing to do with the war or the policy in afghanistan and try to shift the blame on to the psychological and mental state of her particular individual on the other side if they were white house and the parents again trying to present these here another more carver incident as just an exception that does not represent value all of the united states armed forces well the truth is somewhere in between it's totally in admissible to portray the old the victims both p.t.s.d. as a potential mass killers psychos who are looking for any opportunity to kill

a purpose here sed. this is the will supplement that we just wrecked did to protect us from the outside conditions and those conditions not all thanks to mother nature every night or something there's always some fights there's always to some kind of drama happening there's a lot of a lot of ice where the police have been telling the junkies about drugs they want to go to spot they hang out go to mixers. macpherson square one of the longest lasting occupations ended up becoming a microcosm of society itself with similar issues from family ness to crime. still joel and many others here remain undeterred or today is january the third two thousand and twelve year the revolution as i call it. it is close to. maybe twenty six twenty seven degrees outside but it wasn't a cold but these are the actual notices that were posted on the occupiers tents

with society in the system in general and everything that we you know are you know should be against the human beings and. i think i found that there is actually something that we can do about it in washington christine frizz now our team well still to come here in our next stop without close up series on. get off the beaten path to highlight russian footage with a small population and limited resources with one very. two bloody uprisings in just seven years both of which resulted in leaders being toppled from power it's no surprise that security has become a major concern in the central asian republics of kurdistan but his accusations of police brutality and violence the task of maintaining peace has been taken over by vigilante groups flooding the country's cities. ports that are just serving

forces they're supposed to be feeling for. the interior ministry in the ministry of defense train or volunteers and in time of need when police and your mother moralized we are ready to defend our country the new security arrangement was in full display during the recent presidential elections in addition to observer and regular police each pulling station had a group of heavily built man who called themselves people's guards all candidates in the corridors elections extolling the virtues of democracy and the rule of law but to make sure there is progress think values work in their favor many of them chose the natural rather than political muscle of the country's former interior minister sas rewiring the regular police allows the knee authorities an excuse to maintain their own private armies in case the public discontent boils over once again. under the pretext that the police are demoralized the new authorities are creating their own security units whose primary goal is not to protect them nor for

all. rather to protect private interests of the boss and. it's accession of the revolutions has also led to a rise in the number of private security agencies here in the central character guards train weekly targets. during the last the revolution protesters raided several depots and many of their weapons are still at large. it's true that all business grows in terms of instability but we're really tired of all these revolutions what we need is street economic development evolution. and this revolutionary he plays well into the new york there it is hands they may have been drafted power by the popular uprising but with now dozens of well trained guards under their command they sure hope not to leave the office in a similar fashion it's not art he could. but taking a look. around the world. hundreds of egyptian protesters have rallied in cairo

we wrap up our journey to the city of katherine the second waited in the rural mountains the air is famous for its precious stones and metal in a strict today we head to a remote village where ati's tom barton discovers about the the harsh realities of life. you could turn is one of russia's biggest cities but a few hours away it's a different world where we were going even tarmac would be a luxury that's the end of the road from here to the village it's just forest time for me to disperse and go even further off the beaten track. eventually we saw it welcome to the village of newspaper population ten

people two horses two cows no running water no electricity and one rather strange name it was founded in one nine hundred twenty four by a group of collective farm workers who wanted to branch out on their own but they had a problem. to stand missing your village they had to have two mission so they applied for it through the local paper when the permission was granted their name did newspapering things. certain larner is one of only two people to have lived here all their life the other is clean up after her husband died she continued to live here alone every winter there snowed in so what if they need help. you don't get help if something happens you are only road if you can't get through the phone no one will come. svetlana with her two horses is essentially the village

taxi service her twenty one year old son lives here too and for the moment he's content working on a local logging site. that he doesn't want to leave in the town he likes it here but i'm not sure if he'll stay here that long it might be fun for he while he's still young but i think you might get bored of it the cows can roam freely. doors don't need to be locked in fact apart from tending the livestock the only law and order necessary here is to stop the dogs fighting but newspaper is incredibly small too small and i wondered to survive i was surprised to find it was good lena and disagreed with me that they didn't hear the phillips has a future it needs to hold on it's a nice quiet place and that's why i said to residents come here we would need new cloths for some houses so it looks like far from dying out clean as granddaughter

with the end of the boer war and the going away of the soviet union many people thought that nuclear weapon specifically at. the risk is not zero that something might be going off by just to expose a lot of sounds of the nuclear weapons on hair trigger alert. but the significance to using a day as it's written all as an echo of it but you know if you keep spending a trillion dollars a year on weapons of venture you're going to blow everybody up you've you know people are dying from these weapons but until we actually see if people don't wake up to new flu weapons or build the new papers. that represents all of the firepower of the second world war this sound is the equivalence of firepower of the world's nuclear arsenal today.
