against the greed and in the fall of. five o'clock in the morning here in moscow russia's capital this is our team and these are 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 the state broadcaster claims the attacks were carried out by terrorists who detonated car bombs but blast blasts come at a sensitive time as the former u.n. secretary general kofi anon struggles to find a diplomatic solution to the year long crisis in the country our middle east correspondent paul slayer has more. preliminary reports suggest that vehicles packed with explosives were detonated targeting the security complex and hitting the police and intelligence buildings now the government is calling this the work

of terrorists and state television is showing 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 paper to twenty eight people were killed and twenty last that hit the security complex in the government stronghold of aleppo and since december they 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're also receiving reports that al qaida is now operating there calling for the opposition groups to unify there if it and they fight against the syrian regime the latest if it at a diplomatic compromise comes from the former head of the united nations kofi annan last week and he was in syria where he met with both a syrian president bashar assad and opposition groups and he is all members of the

reporting for us there from jerusalem staying with his story james prejudiced a sociology professor at binghamton university in new york says the bombings could be the opposition's response to the un's diplomatic mission in syria the opposition refused to look to just taking a referendum they refused to participate in the election they refused to look negotiate that they're only interested in violent overthrow of the government and it also reflects frustration over the fact that the u.s. 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 knows 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 you can cast your vote now at r.t. dot com other people who have already voted so far think that only five percent of you only five percent of you rather think that anon will manage to negotiate a cease fire in the country meanwhile 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 about six percent think that at this point finding a peaceful solution is difficult and the rest believe that it's simply too late for a diplomatic solution arthel dot com is where you can go to cast your vote. so i had for you this hour a post revolutionary take on justice. thousands of vigilantes take over maintaining security in kurdistan as police are pushed aside and. convicted nazi war criminal john demjanjuk has died in

street movement but not here since that october second degree a little bit just the whole. government corruption the fault lies most of the really incestuous relationship that they got a lot of. like that stuff it was possible for multiple atrocities all why a former children's mental health counselor jules position was cut and he was left without a job and instead found a place and a purpose to hear. this is the rule supplement that we test them directed 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 a lot of ice where the police have been telling the junkies and drug is a good one a good spot to hang out but have affairs. pick fierce and square one of the longest

lasting occupations ended up becoming a microcosm of society itself with similar issues from family nets to crime. still joel and many others here remain undeterred or today is january the third two thousand and twelve year the revolution is about to call it. it is close to. maybe twenty six twenty seven degrees outside and about it wasn't the cold. but these are the actual 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 we're going to 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 michael formal vision on the tents the 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 though and the others say the occupation aspect of this movement is simply one chapter a longer story with many more still yet to be written to 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 subdued in 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 think i found that there was actually something that we can do about it in washington christine frizz now our team the u.s. soldier accused of killing sixteen civilians in afghanistan has been named as staff sergeant robert bales use already back in the states in a military prison but has not yet been charged army officials say he is being held

in solitary confinement and after an investigation claims bales was not acting alone and that up to twenty other u.s. troops may have taken part in the massacre international affairs commentator rick ross of believes that the cold blooded killing of civilians by american forces is history repeating itself. and we have reason to believe you know received no it's right all we have to recall is seven years ago in iraq in the city how deep their twenty four hour iraqi civilians were killed by nine u.s. servicemen none of whom were prosecuted for their crimes or leader of the group or simply charged with dereliction of duty when you've broken in right. much of the city is hardly a command sort of you know omniscient but there is a difference between so-called collateral damage and targeted killings that occurred this past sunday and several of the houses in the village were perfect there were people around it often killed innocents the afghan government state

seventeen or more people who at least one of nine children three women and so forth and it suggests first the four hundred one person could hardly have perpetrated the crime on its own this is a very poor work or you know action and for the us to try to preach very there's anything now since disingenuous to violent 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 the public has a grown increasingly hostile towards the police and a culture of vigilanteism is on the rides or has a kind of what the reports on those who patrol the streets in the name of justice. perfecting their blows and kicks in downtown this young man of the constant reminder of violence that current leader of kurdistan street politics for the past decade and this is who should be serving in the police. lines trying to the heart of the country's security problems two years ago during the last congress

so it's true that all business grows in times of instability but we're really tired of all these revolutions and what we need to economic development evolution. and this revolutionary key place well into the near thirty's hands they may have been brought to power by the 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. 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 island and you're not iris how do you become a good friend. with a dance and a drink in the center of the capital revels in all things i wish we report first hand from the first. time to take

eighty eight he had reportedly been suffering from cancer as the leader of the country's largest religious minority for almost forty years he was prominent in recent months for calling on the egyptian authorities to do more to prevent attacks on top muslim leaders have offered their condolences. time now to head to some of russia's hidden most corners in close up. today that we take you to a remote settlement in the ural mountains that boasts a unique name it is the village of newspaper and time seems to have stood still for almost a century there are clues tom barton found his way through this little community. yeah caetera and 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 ditch 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 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. with. missing your village they had to have to mission so they applied for it through the local paper when the permission was granted their name did newspapering things. spread 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. if you don't get help if something happens here 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 the twenty one year old son lives here too and for the moment he's content working on a local logging site. 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 wrote his still young but i think you 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 dogs fighting but newspaper is

incredibly small too small i wondered to survive i was surprised to find it was galina who disagreed with me but for him the village has a future it needs to hold on it's a nice quiet place and that's why city residents come here we have a need you cannot for some houses so it looks like far from dying out alina's granddaughter could be joined by many more visitors i wouldn't hold out for the road though somewhat of a party and it is time for guinness and green lager again as nascar hosted st patrick's day celebrations revelers gathered in the capital center to mark ireland's most famous holiday to the. best of it. there's no doubt that when you think of us in paddy's day you think of the islands and the irish people themselves but also the most iconic of all ses sam paddy himself today at the old bud was celebrating just that bad just like the rest of the world from new york to bank
