the. dogs are not see over two thousand people have been killed and many more injured in a double bombing against security compounds in the heart of the syrian capital it's a very desperate attempts at the u.n. to bring the conflict to a peaceful resolution. two men found guilty of last year's terror attack in minsk of reportedly being executed despite calls from international human rights groups for the death sentence is to be reconsidered. says marches inside the e.u. nazi soldiers heralded as heroes in latvia in a rally enjoying a top level support put triggering public outrage. at

a new chapter for occupy wall street six months on the movement seeks to throw off its intent dwelling image as activists look to change tack in their battle against greed and inequality. are a good evening for me kevin owen here in moscow tonight at r.t. it is eight pm on our top story syria's capital has been struck by two deadly bombings which targeted security buildings it's killed twenty seven people injured around one hundred more the state broadcaster there suggest the attacks were carried out by terrorists who detonated car bombs are middle east correspondent paula sleazier has the latest tonight. eliminate reports suggest that vehicles packed with explosives were detonated targeting a security complex and hitting the police and intelligence buildings now the

government is calling this the work of terrorists and state television has shown pictures of charred bodies tackles and blood stains to the streets these glass come after a string of recent suicide attacks just last month on phoebe the tenth twenty eight people were killed in two thousand blasts that hit the security complex in the government stronghold of aleppo and since december there have been three suicide bombings in damascus these blasts also come just two days after the one year anniversary of the uprising against syrian president bashar assad there is ongoing and spiraling violence in syria and we are also receiving reports that al qaida is now operating there calling for the opposition groups to unify there if that and they fight against the syrian regime the latest if it a diplomatic compromise comes from the former head of the united nations kofi annan last weekend he was in syria where he met with both a syrian president bashar assad and opposition groups and he is all members of the

united nations security council to give the nod to the proposals he's put forward on the table now the russian from minister sergey lavrov has urged members of the u.n. security council to come forward and give this support russia is also calling for a political dialogue that will see an agreement between the syrian regime and the opposition. has handed over a set of balls also the syrian leadership i can assure you that these proposals do not mention any demands on president bashar al assad to step down i believe it's up to the syrian people to decide this issue any consensus decision that the government and all of position groups come to as a result of dialogue russia is not supporting the syrian regime to support the launch of a political process a cease fire is needed for that in the first place in the coming days they will be a delegation from the united nations visiting syria. this is the reality on the ground and this is the latest if it to reach some kind of political agreement between the sunni authorities and the opposition. so yet more bloodshed more horror

again today on the streets of syria to discuss more about these bombings what the momentum for syria let's now talk to james petras is a sociology professor of binghamton university new york professor folks have been on r.t. syrian state t.v. saying that these twin blasts were carried out by terrorists if that's the case who might these terrorists be do you think what message of trying to get across it was twenty seven mostly we think civilians killed here again in cold blood yet again. well i think there are many candidates one would be al-qaeda which has certainly made its presence known it's a kind of operation that they specialize in kabul arms it could be mossad operatives they're up proxies it could be chechen is from chechnya who have also engaged in this kind of activity so the number of candidates that

have. exhibited a capacity for carrying out this kind of terrorist operation now one of the things that i think is important is that it takes place after the failed efforts to seize cities via the. hooping so it's a recognition of a defeat a defeat that has been inflicted by the syrian government it also reflects the frustration over the huge turnouts hundreds of thousands if not millions as the regime claims that turned out yesterday in support of a negotiated settlement and it also reflects frustration over the fact that the u.n. is moving toward a position of dialogue and not regime change as kofi annan mission was a need for a cease fire negotiations and

a repudiation of that by the opposition using bombs instead of dialogue is an indication that they they're losing international support as well as. i think that's the position all along and they would if the opposition refuse to state in a referendum. they refuse. to participate in the election they refuse to negotiate they're only interested in violent overthrow of the government unfortunately there is a aided and abetted by the absolute just monarchies in the gulf and unfortunately the secretary of state in the united states hillary clinton you know jane here's a simple question i suspect there's not

a simple answer here would all this be solved tomorrow all this death all this destruction so tomorrow if president assad simply stepped down say the day the end of it. i think could be a total disaster i think what we've seen in libya of terry in strife of gangs for raiding in the streets the choice surer of any supporters of the previous regime you'd have a huge flight. it would be much greater than currently exists revenge killings and certainly not a stable state you have a can of worms here you'll have al qaeda you'll have. the muslim brotherhood you'll have the wahhabi us come back in from the gulf. you'll have ex-pats from london and terrorists

there's nothing they have in common except their own position and violent tactics so i think it would be a broken stated at an equivalent of libya and iraq is today and certainly would result in the tremendous decline in living standards a huge outflow of refugees i think a negotiated settlement a transition in which the government is certainly going to play a card and i think that the guns have to be silence before any serious changes take place the one. time just really wanted to put something else to you saying it's a huge melting pot that saudi arabia is saying its military aid to the rebels danger is that al-qaeda militants are fighting side by side with the opposition of course russia has faced strong. criticism over. the syrian regime i think saudi arabia would get the same condemnation. one

certainly would hope so the problem is the western media has blanketed the story that they never mentioned the terrorist acts by the opposition they hit for many months the whole a contingent that was engaged in the uprising they presented it as simply peaceful protesters they never mention the killing of security policeman military a soldier's civilians or search for all the casualties supposedly are inflicted by the government. not explaining the fact that one third of all the casualties are either syrian military people or civilians that support a peaceful resolution of the conference so i'm not surprised of the biased reporting which we are familiar with that with the treatment they've done on

israeli crimes against the carlist indians and ransacking of libya so we can expect too much in the way of. objective and balanced media coverage and a great media are going to wrap it there but thanks ever so much who thoughts to pray share it james petras those shows you professor at the university of new york thanks for being a nazi international thank you for inviting me kevin so that it will get together for a beer and world supply and i'm sure we will ok let's look at the rest of our news now today and. convicted nazi war criminal john demjanjuk has died in a care home in germany age ninety one in two thousand and eleven you may recall he was convicted of assisting in the murder of around twenty eight thousand jews while serving god. and he was sentenced to just five years in prison because the court ruled no particular crime. to him he was allowed to stay in

a home for the elderly. while his appeal was being reviewed. elsewhere in europe s.s. veterans have been getting heroes on is the annual march held in latvia's capital's been massively condemned is a poor affair cation of that series and despite that it's got support of the highest political levels as r.t. jacob green's found out for us there's been decades of change since the world where nazi germany dominated despite their bloody legacy to some quarters of europe their views still have an audience come oh you're going to reduce or crying about the holocaust. in forty one we were for the bolsheviks who killed me i think they received would be there. for you again this is as one thousand five hundred people gathered to officially commemorate those who fought alongside hitler's armies and joined the waffen s.s.

the meeting stoking fears of a neo nazi resurgence in latvia we can not be silent when the people. in the memory of the nerds east of the birth and the stairs are marching in the streets of a member of the european union those in the crowd to spend their start saying the so-called legionnaires were fighting for liberty i said time when tyranny faced latvia from all directions it was a military force fuld in nine hundred forty three volunteers and members of the disbanded latvian auxiliary police responsible for the mass killing of jews this image of that is you lining the streets to welcome in veterans commemorating legionnaires day is one that has become commonplace is also something that is increasingly warring observers if it may represent a rise of the far right both sane commentators are asking why this message is being

supported at the very top of the country's leadership. that being president inch has argued it is foolish to assume that what an s.s. better is are criminals saying they deserve the public suspect the pros who are in charge in positions of authority should not be setting examples where young people start to believe that a vast an s s is something that you should wish to follow echoing such sentiment and the fascist groups govern it by in a protest to the annual march the rise in far right rhetoric is not unique. to the continent the rich by financial crisis ultra nationalists and has been growing throughout europe you've got the fascist right people are proud of being sort of etc or whatever and you've got the fascist light the people who like probably marine le pen in france are actually coming from that kind of million i mean from that position it's

a growth most of heritage vultures that celebrate those who others struggle to keep them company 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 degrees r.t. reader that is. so ahead for you in the program remote access who needs running water or electricity well russia closer to take it this sleepy village that the twenty first century has left behind. to better russian sentenced to death for last year's metro bombing in minsk have reportedly been executed the family of one of the men say they received a letter from the country supreme court although there's been no official confirmation reports of the second execution later surfaced in the local media and is out is a really good report snakes it's a case that's attracting condemnation far and wide. two men are accused of carrying

out the glass to unity in minsk metro in two thousand and eleven in april of two thousand and eleven they were arrested just a couple of days after the blasts new place and were put on trial and they all were accused of carrying out not just the terror attack in april of last year but also of another one which also happened in minsk in two thousand and eight one of the men dimitri kind of all of has actually pleaded guilty to both cases where is the other man what is has pleaded not guilty he has also written a letter with a petition for pardon to the belorussian president that petition was refused officially now this case was very closely followed your life human rights organizations especially those in europe its leaders that the chairman of the european parliament has also written a petition regarding the plea for pardon of the two men to the bill russian authorities but it is probably safe to assume that that plea has also been refused of course tellers has been on the reader all the european human rights

organizations for a very long time a lot of people in europe question the tactics and the policies of people who are should go it easily comes to matters concerning she would rise and the freedom of speech is very much pressure and belarus and as it stands right now is the only country in europe still to employ capital punishment insley go system. get the latest news videos or stories you may have missed for most of our t. dot com is what's there for you right now the wanted whistleblower gili the sarge gets ready to run for the senate in his native australia and won't let his house arrest in britain get in the way no more online from our. having your appliances acting as cia agents there's a thought the dark secret of the white goods which are keeping tabs on your family we explain another doing it at our team don't call.

it six months since the birth of the occupy wall street movement a movement that swept through the world of the dazzling speed attracting millions who were fed up with inequality and greed from tear gas to rubber bullets the bathroom wielding cops and forced evictions the occupiers aware that everything thrown out there but now many of their camps a sprinkling of the fever dying down as christine for reports. ever gals of free wills were told they'd it's a global the say ship reports of a nation the sole flight of media saturation we first met joel northam in the early stages of the occupy wall street movement and out here since six o'clock to second degree a little bit that's just the whole. government corruption of the last week i suppose really incestuous relationship that they got but. like it's thought it was possible for multiple atrocities told why

a former children's mental health counselor position was cut and he was left without a job and instead found a place and a person just about here still. this is the will supplement that we just wrecked it 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 theft a lot of ice where the police have been telling our john king is our brothers they want to get us back i'll go to affairs. big fierce and square one of the longest lasting occupations and it up becoming a microcosm of society itself with similar issues from timeliness to crime. still joel and many others here remain under church there today is january third two thousand and twelve. year the revolution as i'd call it. it is close to.

maybe twenty six twenty seven degrees outside of what it was in the cold but these of the action notices that were posted on the occupiers tents setting off a firestorm of both anger and support and the construction of this tent of dreams. most people did end up leaving joel included i guess the thing that maybe stop libya was the raid. that was i mean that was i mean they have infrared helicopters flying around at night you know having like little formal vision on the tents to make sure the people are in the tent sleeping but even police crackdowns have not meant the end of occupy wall street and this is an experience where today nearly six months after the occupy wall street movement began a few tense remain but it's largely symbolic joe and the others say the occupation aspect of this movement is simply one chapter in a longer story many more still yet to be written but we do the dirty work for them the desire for radical change and

a newfound belief that it can actually be achieved is strong enough not to be said do the brought me here was that feeling that something was incredibly wrong with society in the system in general and everything that we you know are you know should be naturally against this human beings and. i forgot found that there was actually something that we can do about it in washington christine frizz now r.t. . to revolutions in just seven years that's the price the people of the central asian republic of kurdistan have paid so far for a free and democratic future today probably going to mostly towards the police is an all time high and blame for the rise in a culture of did you learn to use them on his exam the boy who reports next of those who stalked the streets in the name of justice. reflecting their blows and kicks in biscuits downtown this young man of the constant reminder of the violence that i personally give to this town st paul achieves for the past decade.

but this issue should be sharing in the police the punch line struck to the heart of the country's security problems so years ago during the last curtis revolution the police opened fire and protests are. almost seventy but killed forcing the president to step down and since then the country's north or aegis have it correctly replaced the police because of the geologic groups will move here move i told you the movement of drug people's guards towns tens of thousands here the one is ready his men patrolled the streets at night and just a phone call away during the day organized in small cells their mobile and easily manageable and increasingly they're being trained by the very same security forces they're supposed to be filling for. ministry in the ministry of defense help train or volunteers in a time of need. the moralized we are ready to defend our country the new security

arrangement was in full display during the recent presidential elections in addition to observe and regular police each polling station had a group of heavily built man called themselves people's guards candidates in the corridors elections extolling the virtues of democracy and the rule of law but to make sure the base for graphic values work in their favor many of them are natural rather than political. the country's former interior minister says revising the regular police allows the new out there it is an excuse to maintain their own private armies and he's the cobbler discontent pulls over once again. under the pretext that the police would be more moist the new authorities are creating their own security units the primary goal is not to protect the law for all. but rather to protect private interests of. the succession of the revolutions has also led to a rise in the number of private security agencies here in the center of the scare

card changes weekly targets. during the last revolution protesters raided several depots and many of their weapons are still at large that it's true that our business grows in times of instability but we are really tired of all these revolutions so what we need is stable economic development still an evolution at the national level and this revolutionary place well into the new yorker its hands may have been brought to power of a popular uprising it now since a well trained guard under their command they should not leave the office in a similar fashion it's not going to artsy. if you minutes from the program tonight so bring it apart if some patrick here in the very heart of moscow. if you . cannot hire is. becoming a. good question well it seems with the balance of the drink this sense of the

capital revels in all things irish we report first hand from the festivities it's. also making headlines around the world this hour the former head of libya's intelligence services has been arrested at an airport after arriving in mauritania in western africa or else a new season cues to bring a close gadhafi confidante and the major figure behind efforts to stamp out last year's uprising is also wanted by the international criminal court for crimes against humanity libya's national transitional council and i want some extradited. rescuers found the wreckage of a norwegian military plane that crashed in northern sweden five people on board were all still missing part of a hercules cargo transporter well was found over a glass iran one of the country's highest mountains of the disappeared from radar screens while flying over about a brainstorming a military exercise. played off the beaten track now to some more of

russia's hidden corners an hour later as close up. and today as you can see on the map we'll take you to a remote settlement in the year old mountains boasting a headline grabbing name the village of newspaper that's was called where it seems time stood still for almost a century it says remote as it gets artist tom brown reports from there. 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 it the end of the road from here to the village it's just forest time for me to do this and go even further off the beaten track. eventually we saw it welcome to the village of newspaper population ten

people two horses 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 and wanted to branch out on their own but they had a problem what to believe in the to establish in your village they had to have permission so they applied for it through the local paper when the permission was granted their name to newspapering things. certain larner is one of only two people who have lived here all their life the other is galina after her husband died she continued to live here alone every winter there snowed in so what if they need help . when if you don't get help from a happens there on the road if you can't get through the phone no one will come. said larner with her two horses is essentially the village taxi service for

a twenty one year old son lives here too and for the moment is 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 long it might be fun for he while he's still young but i think you might get more of it when the cows can roam freely. towards 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 fatting put newspaper is incredibly small too small i wondered to survive i was surprised to find it was good lena who disagreed with me but the very near the village has a future in its hold on it's a nice quiet place and that's why i think the residents can hear we have a need for some houses so it looks like far from drying out the leaners

granddaughter could be joined by many more visitors i wouldn't hold out for the road though dumbarton party life for once all well when the city is bosco turned green for a day or crowds gathered in the capital center to celebrate the vision of irish television patrick's day ots join the revellers here in russia. business although when you think of us in paddy's day you think of iowans and the irish people themselves but also the most iconic little i'll say them paddy himself today at the o.r. but was deliberating just that bad just like the rest of the world from new york to bangkok to beijing as well as here in moscow now moscow have actually been celebrating my distaste of nine hundred ninety two and it's cultural events like this that has tied russia and hiding to get back into the business and trade and you know what they have a few similarities in terms of a cultures they enjoy having fun and you know maybe smile and having

a few drinks so none of them patrick's day celebration is complete until you have i believe that about and the beginning and say we have a special green feel. good as they say. in ireland's sons everybody. said i'm ok i'll see moscow cause there's not a drink which is on shift modernisers or in a few minutes where these latest moscow out of business out of a sport to come to with road money is champing at the bit that's the next stop for them here are to live from moscow thanks for being with us.
