over two dozen 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 make desperate attempts of the un to bring the conflict to the peaceful resolution. two men found guilty of last year's terror attack in minsk have reportedly been executed despite calls from international human rights groups for their death sentences to be reconsidered. the smart should side the e.u. now sees soldiers heralded as heroes in latvia in a rally in joint top level support but triggering public outrage. and

a new chapter for occupy wall street six months on the movement six to throw off its ten welling image as activists look to change tack in their battle against greed and inequality. even for moscow with me kevin now in its eleven pm here in our top story tonight syria's capital's been struck by two deadly bombings which targeted security buildings killing twenty seven people and injuring over one hundred more the state broadcaster suggested types were carried out by terrorists who detonated car bombs our middle east correspondent paula sleepier as the details. eliminate reports suggest that vehicles had with explosives were disseminated 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 vehicles and blood stains to the streets these blasts come after a string of recent suicide attacks just last month they be 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 if that and they fight against the syrian regime in the latest effort and 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 assume president bashar assad and opposition groups and he is urging 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 foreign minister sergei lavrov has 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 to syria i can assure you that these proposals the not mention any demands on president bashar asad to step down i believe it's up to the syrian people to decide this issue any consensus decision of the government and all opposition groups come to as a result of dialogue russia is not supporting the syrian regime and support the launch of a political process a cease fire is needed for that in the first place in the coming days there 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 and the opposition. policy or a middle east correspondent there will talk more about what led to the deadly blast let's talk live two hundred gilligan the britain's daily telegraph newspaper and very very good to see you tonight thanks for being on the program syrian t.v. saying the attacks were carried out by what they're calling terrorist forces in your opinion who exactly are these so-called terrorists well there are three possibilities here it may indeed have been the opposition it may have been an act of provocation by the regime to try to blame your position. syrians it's always been a little bit murky until they actually produce some evidence i'd be reluctant to believe either side frankly either which way would sort of response you think now will say from the syrian government. well the syrian government to considerable extent has got the upper hand at the moment i mean made to hate with astonishing brutality in ruthlessness in homs and in it and in other places but it has worked

in a sense because the city of homs has been effectively bombed into submission shelled into submission it led to another rebellious city in the turkish border which some people are talking about as a kind of potential syrian pain garcia kind of capital of a rebel on clay within syria that has also been retaken a considerable bloodshed and so. the regime at the moment i'm not sure it's long term future is very bright but it's short and medium term future is it's probably more secure than it was three weeks ago let's talk about these blasts today with the u.n. arab envoy kofi annan now throwing his diplomatic weight into resolving the drawn out conflict or witnessing moscow urging to the same urging the western states not to derail the effort how significant is the timing of today's blast. well i think the it it's it's difficult to know as i say that really depends on who did it if it

was the regime it might have been designed to send a message that only they stand between me here between syria and total collapse of manichean that's a message they've been plugging with some success to some some parts of of the country because they do still have some uncoerced support in the country is no doubt about that i saw that for myself when i visited late last year if it was the opposition they might be saying it equally might be saying look this is a warning of what happens if there isn't serious political change in syria but the fact is that the moment the regimes but the regimes talking about something obviously it's change the constitution had a referendum on constitutional change the other week act and it's its strategy i suppose is to crush down on the on the if you like the be absolutist opposition movement the opposition that wants pressure on assad gone if you're out in the opposition and possibly offer to deal with if you like the the. kind

of internal opposition maybe that the more moderate opposition is prepared perhaps to talk to the regime there are limited political reforms the kind of thing that might have satisfied most syrians until the uprising started but probably won't satisfy them now what's your prognosis for the kofi annan plan and the way forward will it succeed where the arab league didn't. well the trouble is that i haven't seen much sign that the regime is sincere about you know dramatic political change the fact is that. we are met aside in october late october when i interviewed him and he was saying that you know he hadn't been a typical arab dictator he wasn't in trying to get an offer in the forms and it's true he's offered some reforms and in the reforms he's offered in the reforms he's offered since we spoke including the repeal of section eight in the constitution

which says that only the path party can rule now if they clean down right at the beginning before this all started pay my second you know in the the repeal of articulated the syrian constitution was a demand of the opposition in the beginning but my feeling is now that all the bloodshed we're talking eight thousand people according to united nations including hundreds of children and all that bloodshed has raised the stakes and i think there's a very sizeable number of people in syria now will be satisfied with nothing less than the departure of the regime and i said and that's that's not going to happen in the short to medium term what about the opposition saying it doesn't want to talk with the so therefore is not going to be on board what kofi annan wants is it sincere question isn't it is it sincere in what it appears to want. well i think the opposition's problem is not a lack of sincerity i think they probably are sincere it's a kind of lack of. organization they're very well organized on the ground in

a tactical sense and individual towns although as i said they have suffered some very serious setbacks in the last few weeks they are nothing like so cohesive and well organized at a kind of strategic level or national level and an international level the syrian national council has not presented a kind of unified face to the world like the year the transitional national council period in libya there isn't anyone if you like the diplomats can call. all the others a group of people and it's not clear who if any of that group speaks speaks for them so that's one of the problems of the opposition and also the problem is that they they lack sort of military means and the regime still seems to be still seems to have the upper hand militarily and a billion folks who thought i'm going to get no britain's daily telegraph newspaper

a little bit just the whole. call but corruption the people like most of the really incestuous relationship that they got a lot of. like it started it was possible for atrocity told why a former children's mental health counselor position with cuts and he was left without a job and instead found a place and a purpose here still. this is the settlement 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 and there's always some fights there's always some kind of drama happening there's a lot of theft a lot i swear the police i've been telling my junkies and drug dealers they want to give us a pot to hang out go to the fairs. macpherson square one of the longest lasting occupations and it up becoming a microcosm of society itself with similar issues from some lena's 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'd like to call it. it is close to. maybe twenty six twenty seven degrees outside but it wasn't the cold but these a vixen 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 joyal included i guess the thing that maybe stopped would be there was the raid. that was i mean that was i mean that infrared helicopters flying around at night you know having like little formal vision on the make sure that people are in the tent sleeping but even police crackdowns have not meant the end of occupy wall street and this does make your sense where today nearly six months after the occupy wall street movement began

a few tense remain but it's largely symbolic though 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. work for them the desire for radical change and a newfound belief that it can actually be achieved is strong enough not to be subdued brought me here was that feeling that something was incredibly walang with society in the system in general and everything that we you know are you know should be naturally 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 will track their progress for you know a few minutes tonight reprieve the party for st patrick in the very heart of moscow . if you're in the islands and you're not irish how do you become

a read then patti's. with a dance and a drink it seems the center of the capital revels in all things irish we report first hand from the first of its. two violent 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 do towards the polices of know all time high and plain for the rise of a culture of vigilanteism of his exam a boy who reports on those who stalk the streets in the name of justice. perfecting their blows and kids in this case downtown this young man a constant reminder of violence that apparently if they're just on street cola tips for the past decade and this is who should be serving in the police the punch line struck to the heart of the country's security problems two years ago during the last curtis revolution the police opened fire at protesters almost seventy were

killed forcing the president to step down and since then the country's north origins have effectively replaced the police because of vigilante groups move here move i told you the movement of drugs iniki or people's guards counts turns of thousands. one is ready these men patrol the streets at night and just it's one call away during the day organized in small cells they're more while and easily manageable and increasingly they're being trained by the very same security forces they're supposed to be filling for. the interior ministry in the ministry of defense hold train or volunteers in a time of need when police and the army or 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 observer and regular police each polling station had a group of heavily built man who called themselves the people's guards all

candidates in the corridors elections extolling the virtues of democracy and the rule of law but to make sure that these progressive values worked in their favor many of them chose a natural rather than political muscle of the country's former interior minister sas reviling get regular police allows thinking of courage as an excuse to maintain their own private armies in peace 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 the law for all. but rather to protect private interests of the boss. the succession of the revolutions has also led to a rise in the number of private security agencies here in the center of this character guards train weekly to hit targets. during the last revolution protesters raided several depots and many of the weapons are still at large. it's

true that our business grows in times of instability but we are really tired of all these revolutions so what we need a stable economic development evolution. and this revolutionary if it keyed place well into the near thirty's hands they may have been brought to power by the popular uprising as with thousands of well trained guards under their command i sure hope not to leave the office in a similar fashion it's not going to artsy could. also making news around the world this hour the former head of libya's intelligence services has been arrested at an airport after arriving in or attain in western africa. loosies accused of being a close confidant on a 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 now wants him extradited. to pan says it's considering whether to destroy a satellite which north korea is planning to launch next month over fears that it's

a disguised long range missile test north korea insists it's just a working satellite which it wants to send into space in april to mark the birth centenary of the states found it will soon be several countries including the u.s. russia and china condemn long games plan. to break away from news from it now to wear it off the beaten track a bit from some more of russia's hidden corners in the latest in our close up series for you. and the map shows you were trying to head it today we take you to a remote settlement in the ural mountains which boasts the headline grabbing name the village of newspaper you hear me correct where it seems times on the stood still for almost a century it is as remote as it gets but artie's top bar just about found its way there and he now reports. you could terran berg 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 do this and go even further off the beaten track. of 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 who wanted to branch out on their own but they had a problem. with the need 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 did newspapering things. straight learner is one of only two people who have lived here all their life the other is cleaner after her husband died she continued to live here alone every winter there snowed in so what if they need help . you don't care to help the family happens here on the road and if you can't get through the phone no one will come. so a planner with two horses is essentially the village taxi service for 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 that long it might be fun for him while he's still young but i think he might get more out of it when 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 dog's family but newspaper is incredibly small too small i wondered to survive i was surprised to find it was cool enough and disagreed with me but with. the village has a future it needs to hold on it's a nice quiet place and that's why is it a resident con here we haven't any penalties for some houses so it looks like far from dying out the leaners granddaughter could be joined by many more visitors i wouldn't hold out for the road though tom watson party. reporter well back here moscow turned green for a day as crowds gathered in the capital center to celebrate official irish elevator sympatric stay. joined the rebel. there's no doubt that when you think of us and paddy's day you think all the islands and the irish people themselves but also the

most iconic of all i'll say some paddy himself today at the o.r. but was celebrating just that bad just like the rest of the world from new york to bank all to beijing as well as here in moscow not muscle had actually been celebrating sometimes days of ninety ninety two and its cultural events like this that have to be tied to russia and i didn't get back into the business and trade and you know i did they have a few similarities in terms of the cultures they join having fun and making people smile and having a few drinks to nelson patrick's day celebration is complete and still you have an island besa drought and that's the beginning and today we might even have a special green obeah for you as they say. in ireland's sons everybody nudged. the bum ok i'll see moscow. you know if she's not about to simply green looking and the way if you are a show very best wishes to you now coming up tonight
