against agreed and equality. and broadcast live direct from our studios and some from moscow this is r t glad to have you with us let's get right your top stories in syria at least twenty seven have been killed and one hundred forty injured as twin bomb attacks on security compounds rocked the capital damascus a state broadcaster claims the attacks were carried out by terrorists who detonated car bombs but blasts come at a sensitive time as the former u.n. security general kofi anon struggles to find a diplomatic solution to the year long crisis in the country our middle east correspondent paul sleep has more. ports are just that vehicles hatch with explosives were discriminated targeting the 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 on theory the ten to twenty eight people were killed in twin blasts that hit the security complex in the government stronghold of aleppo and since december there have been three suicide bombings in damascus these last 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 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 the syrian president bashar assad and opposition groups and he is urging all members of the united nations

a sociology professor at binghamton university in new york says the bombings that could be the opposition's response to the un problematic mission in syria the opposition refuse to look to just faith in a referendum they refuse to participate in any election they refuse to look negotiate that they're only interested in violent overthrow of the government and it also reflects frustration over the fact that the un is moving toward a position of dialogue and not regime change as kofi annan mission was the 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. and as

always we would like to hear your opinion we're asking do you think kofi annan mission to syria will bear fruit cast your vote now at our team got caught taking a look at the results so far only five percent of you think that a non well managed to negotiate a cease fire in the country we know while the majority thinks that the mission will fail because the u.s. and its allies do not want to see a compromise but rather want assad out of the country six percent think that at this point finding a peaceful solution is difficult and of the rest believe that it's simply too late for a diplomatic solution arky dot com is where you can go into asked your vote. so i have for you this hour a post revolutionary take on justice. thousands of vigilantes that take over maintaining security in kyrgyzstan as police are pushed aside. a convicted nazi war criminal john dean and york has died in a care home in germany and he was ninety one years old in two thousand and eleven he was convicted of assisting in the murder of around twenty eight thousand jews

while serving guard duty in a death camp in poland however he was sentenced to just five years in prison because the court ruled no particular crime could be directly attributed to him he was also allowed to stay in a home for the elderly while his appeal was being reviewed. elsewhere in europe as veterans have been honored as heroes the annual march held in libya's capital has been widely condemned as a glorification of naziism despite that it still receives support at the highest political levels as jacob grieves reports now from reka there's been decades of change since the world when nazi germany donated despite the bloody legacy in some quarters of europe that you still have an audience. campbell are you ready to jews are crying about the holocaust which remains in forty nine hundred forty one the war for the waterworks and killed me i think they received would be deserved. it

but i did get 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 of. the memory of the nads east of the earth and this are marching in the streets of 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 nine hundred forty three from volunteers and members of the disbanded latvian exhilarate 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's 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. i love being president . has argued it is foolish to assume that what an s.s. veterans are criminals say may deserve the public's respect people who are in charge of that in positions of all thirty should not be setting examples where young people start to believe that a vote for an s.s. is something that you should wish to follow echoing such sentiment and the fascist groups governing by in a protest to be 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 who are proud of being sort of s.f.

veterans or whatever and you've got the fascist light the people who like probably marie le pen in france are actually coming from that kind of million coming from that kind of position is the growth most apparent in marches that celebrate those who others struggling to keep them company by personal messages such as this one made as 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 in latvia well still ahead for you in the program in a skid from modern civilization. parties a close up here is take you to one of the most remote villages that seems to have frozen in time. now two belorussians and sentenced to death for last year's metro bombings in minsk have been executed the family of one of the men confirmed that they had received notification from the country supreme court and state media later

reported the executions on its arteries it says it's a case that has attracted much condemnation. the two men are accused of carrying out the blasts in the 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 were overworked accused of carrying out not just a terror attack in april of last year but also over not their 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 men what is left has pleaded not guilty he has also written a letter with a petition for pardoned to the belorussian president that petition was refused officially now this case was very closely followed by human rights organizations especially those in europe as a matter of fact the chairman of the european parliament house also wrote never to 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 teller's has been on the radar of at the european human rights organizations for a very long time a lot of people in europe question the tactics and the policies of the gershon authorities really comes to matters concerning human rights and the freedom of speech and freedom of expression and valorous and as it stands right now belushi is the only country in europe still to employ capital punishment insley go system. reporting for us there and of course you can get the latest news of videos or stories that you may have missed at archie dot com here's some of what's there for you right now. want to whistleblower drew in a song gets ready to run for the senate in his native australia and won't let his house arrest in britain get in the way. and are your appliances acting as cia agents in the dark secret of the white goods which are keeping tabs on your family

explain how they're doing it archly dot com. it has been six months since the occupy wall street movement swept the world with millions taking up the battle against corporate greed and inequality and now even though their camps are shrinking activists say the movement is far from dying down archies christine for us our reports. never gets a free wills were told they did to mobile the say ship before they should missile fly a b. to get saturation we first met joel more than in the early stages of the occupy wall street movement and out here since october. very little bit it's just the whole. government corruption the fault lies mostly the really incestuous relationship that they got a lot of. my good stuff it was possible for multiple across the world why a former children's mental health counselor joins position was cut and he was left without a job and instead found a place and

a person here. 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 somethin there's always some fights there's always just some kind of drama happening there's a lot of theft a lot of ice where the police have been telling the junkies and drug dealers a good one of us why they hang out go to mixed race. mix fierce and square one of the longest lasting occupations ended up becoming a microcosm of society itself with similar issues from slum 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 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 stopped would be your was the raid. that was i mean that was i mean to have infrared helicopters flying around at night you know i. like the will thermal vision on the tents to make sure the people are in the tent sleeping but even police crackdowns have not mentioned the end of occupy wall street and this is my fear since where today nearly six months after the occupy wall street movement began a few tense remain but it's largely symbolic joel and the others say the occupation aspect of this movement is simply one chapter of a longer story with many more still yet to be written so what we do the dirty work for them the desire for radical change and the newfound belief that it can actually be achieved is strong enough not to be subdued in the 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 you know actually against this 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. regardless of where the occupy movement goes from here recent claims from a former goldman sachs executive over the company's moral decay are certainly something the occupiers would agree with coming up next hour on our team max and stacy also weigh in on the crisis and the controversial backing for. what is still a goldman sachs makes a ten billion dollars bonus or a thirty million dollars bonus he has lost for various clients including greece or other countries or other corporations three hundred or four hundred billion in losses he's paid a percentage of dull losses this is why the global g.d.p. is in retreat this is why the united states has to increase their debt load to

fifteen sixteen seventeen trillion to paper over the losses that goldman is in the business of delivering to customers many of which are too frightened stupid to understand that it's not necessarily a great idea if lloyd blankfein set you up with a forty second street that's not worth throwing your company on the bus for but a lot of c.e.o.'s are so frickin stupid because the cost of money is so cheap that they're willing to give away their company their family their life for just such an arrangement. the u.s. soldier accused of killing sixteen civilians in afghanistan has been named as staff sergeant robert bales he's already back in the united states in a military prison but has not yet been charged army officials say he's being held in solitary confinement an afghan investigation claims that bales was not acting

alone in that up to twenty other u.s. troops may have taken part in the massacre international affairs commentator rick ross off believes the cold blooded killing of civilians by american forces is history repeating itself. and we have reason to believe you know received no answer i want all we have to recall is seven years ago in iraq in the city but the twenty four hour iraqi civilians were killed by nine u.s. servicemen not reform were prosecuted for their crimes the leader of the group or simply charged with dereliction of duty and broken and ran. you know which it's hardly come on sort of you know punishment but there is a difference between so-called collateral damage and targeted killings and other kind of this past sunday several thousands in the intervening rooms were the fact of were people around it often kill innocents the afghan government say certainty you know we're going to government with nine children three women and so forth this suggests first of all rather than one person providing we're concerned about crime

in its own this is a very the river you know action and for us to try to portray it as anything else is disingenuous. to violence revolutions in just seven years that's the price the people of the central asian republic of kyrgyzstan have paid so far for a free and democratic future now as the public has grown increasingly hostile towards the police and a cultural of vigilanteism is on the rise archies are trying to break the reports on those who patrol the streets in the name of justice. perfecting their blows and kicks in this case downtown these young men of the constant reminder of violence that turn lead of kyrgyzstan street color tips for the past decade and this is who should be serving in the police believe the punch line struck to the heart of the country's security problems two years ago during the last period as revolution the police opened fire as protesters. almost seventy were killed forcing the trust them

to step down and since then the country's north or ages have effectively replaced the police with a call for groups called move here move i told you the movement of drizzy people's guards counts turns of thousands of the one is really these men patrol the streets at night and just a form 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 feeling for. your ministry and the ministry of defense help train our volunteers and in time of need when police and your mere demoralized 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 people's guards all candidates in the elections extolling the virtues of democracy and the rule of law but to make

sure the bass pro graphic values work in their favor many of them are natural rather than political. the country's former interior minister says rewiring the regular police allows the any authority as an excuse to maintain their own private armies and keys the public discontent pulls over once again. under the pretext of the police and the more noised the new forages are creating their own security units the primary goal is not to protect the law for all. but rather to protect the private interests of the boss. which at this expression of the revolutions has also led to a rise in the number of private security agencies here in the center of the scare cards train weekly to hit targets. during the last the 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 and what we need is stable economic development tool evolution. and this revolution there are three key places well into the near thirty's hands they may have been brought to power a bit of popular uprising but with thousands of well trained guards under their command. not to leave the office in a similar fashion it's not going to artsy. and in a few minutes we'll bring you the party for st patrick's in the heart of moscow. if you're not in the islands and you're not hire is how do you become a vet and pat is. with a dance and a drink the center of the capital revels in all things irish first hand from the festivities. now to some other news making headlines for you around the world. libya's former intelligence chief has been arrested in mauritania in

and today we take you to a remote settlement in the ural mountains that boasts a unique name in the village of newspaper time seems to have stood still for almost a century and it is time barton has found his way there. 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 it the end of the road from here to the village it's just forest time for me to dip this 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 thousand 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 their permission was granted on their name to newspapering things. spread larner is one of only two people to have lived here all their life the other is galena after her husband died she continued to live here alone every winter there snowed in so what if they need help. if you don't get help if that happens you are on the road and 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 twenty one year old son lives here too and for the moment is content working an american logging site but one that he doesn't want to

leave in the town he likes it here and i'm not sure if he'll stay here that long it might be fun for here while he's still young but i think you might get more than. the cows can roam freely. towards don't need to be locked in fact apart from tending the livestock. only law and order necessary here is to stop the dogs acting 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 they didn't hear the phillips has a future it needs to hold on it's a nice quiet place and that's my city residents can hear me we need new paltz for some houses so it looks like far from dying out clean as granddaughter could be joined by many more visitors i wouldn't hold out for the road though tom barton
