the head of the u.n. says the syrian regime is still cracking down on the opposition despite pledges from damascus to cease military action within days. that the regime claims that terrorist activity has risen sarky as the rebels continue to sign a u.n. brokered peace plan. declared leaders in mali agreed to step down and hand power to civilians potter immense pressure from neighboring countries following two weeks of military rule. and critics lash out at the u.s. for trying and sentencing as are those describing it as proof and unjust.

broadcasting live from the heart of the russian capital you're watching r.t. i'm kerry johnston the head of the u.n. severely criticized the syrian government for ongoing violence in the country thank you moon says next week's cease fire date is no excuse for continued killing in the run up to the deadline marty's middle east correspondent has the latest. what this means is that damascus is in violation of a united nations statement on syria and according to that statement damascus has until april the tenth to withdraw all its troops and tanks from population centers there is then a final deadline of six am april the twelfth by which the opposition has to lay down arms and what we're hearing from the u.n. security council is that if this is not here to they will be to quote to you and screw to council survey measures now this is the strongest statement from the

united nations that it is not binding and it is not a resolution damascus at the same time is saying that there has been an increase in violence over the past few days that it puts the blame for their violence firmly on the shoulders of the opposition it says what it wants is guarantees that as it moves its troops out of the population centers this vacuum that will be created will not be fooled by the rebel fighters it also says that these rebel fighters continue to get support from countries such as qatar saudi arabia and turkey and that this is something going to be addressed the opposition has not yet agreed to the conditions before with the united nations they're going for the unconditional departure of the syrian president bashar assad before they said it would be in talk of peace negotiations or peace plan on the table however what we've seen in the last few days is meetings of the so-called friends of syria but what this really has become is friends of the syrian opposition but the united states and our allies

pledging to support to rebel fighters they're also calling on syrian president bashar assad to step down and at the same time they say that they are committed to paying the salaries as well as providing communication equipment to these rebel fighters. closely reporting there with the u.s. about syrian opposition is also committed to regime change to give up now that's according to jacob hornberger who heads the american base future freedom foundation . if you have a cease fire were the rebels are under that cease fire and say ok we're we're in we're no longer going to engage in violence against this regime then what was the point of starting the rebellion in the first place and and so it's very likely that the rebels are going to use any kind of a cease fire to consolidate their position and continue with their goal the u.s. for example is pressuring the assad regime to relinquish power they're doing it

under this are a democracy in freedom well this is just hypocrisy we know that the u.s. loves dictatorships they just sent one point three billion dollars to the egyptian dictatorship they support the dictatorship in bahrain because of the u.s. military base there what's involved here in syria is a dictatorship that is not pro u.s. and so the u.s. sees this as an opportunity for regime change if we can get rid of this dictator and install a pro u.s. military dictator like in egypt or in other other places around the world in the u.s. will be satisfied but make no mistake about it this is not some glorious cause on the part of the west you in stark pro freedom pro democracy regimes this is about empires that always lives. but coming up in a program of moscow seeing red. that have the hand that they call handed like that flying high here in moscow at the communist party in this way

to support off a disappointing result at the recent presidential election. mollies a coup leaders have agreed to step down and hand power to civilian rule in return for an end to sanctions imposed by the country's worried neighbors as part of the agreement the fifteenth state west african us but if trade balance or grant amnesty to whinge and conflicts of interest because the goal of an interim president and all the nice elections will. forty days of the most stable democracies in the region ali was just into crisis when the tree seized power and toppled the president last month on the way it was dealing with insurgency taking advantage of the chaos making rebels in the north declared independence one area they're calling as well as a publisher newton any money is the rebels or spurred on by authorizing libyan could stop a return to the border. for people to try to return this

rebellion is not tried with the war but nature war in libya is completely preposterous because we know that it's because of the collapse of the qaddafi regime after the nato invasion that the rebels were able to well equip themselves with the most sophisticated weaponry and for the first time literally defeat the army or bombing and that's exactly what's happening now the question is there are other insurgents in other regions in that part of the world that are also equally well equipped we might just be seeing the beginning of the aftermath of the collapse of the libyan government. more news and stories can be found at any time on our website r.t. dot com it's a taste of what's online few right now guilty as charged the colonel gadhafi is influential son saif faces the most serious accusation that he has managed to back with evidence his failure to obtain

america's prisons are overflowing with many who are kept behind bars or just children thousands of user tried as adults in the u.s. every year and some are given a life sentence in some countries harshest jails many then find themselves becoming victims of sexual violence and suicide this war reports. authorities in western pennsylvania have charged eleven year old jordan grown as an adult the boys will have one trial together in adult court a length of his sentence is also the length of his life they're not old enough to drive drink or go but in america kids as young as seven years old can be tried as adults when you hold the youth accountable the same manner and fashion in which you hold an adult that's just not right and it's not fair michael can't knows what it's like to be a kid locked up in an adult prison you never know what going to dawson are you going to do so you can be fair and i. was going to happen to me it was locked up

for the first time when he was twelve years old here at oak hill juvenile correctional facility ok it was not wasn't and i was in design and so rehabilitation was designed for punishment you know having barwise around again and use propane for. life spare like most kids that serve time as a juvenile in the u.s. he got into trouble again at seventeen he was charged with armed robbery as an adult he says for a kid being in an adult prison is a constant struggle to survive they know what it is we come off the worst and you go ahead and think oh no don't you want you just. sort of pull you when we're in reality and trying to get a favorite you far as a sexual act you know if you if they you know if you become someone's. personally i was spared from sexual abuse but many kids aren't so lucky in fact one in five victims of sexual violence in jails and prisons are under the age of eighteen youth and dull facilities are thirty six times more likely to commit

suicide than those in the juvenile system and any given day in america ten thousand children are held in adult jails and prisons most of them have never been convicted of a crime and kids are fair game for solitary confinement camps as for five months he spent twenty three and a half hours per day locked up alone i could of went crazy. just how. often they do for critics slam the practice of putting kids in adult jails as cruel and unusual punishment they are less capable of understanding the consequences of their behavior that development is incomplete and that's why the supreme court struck down the death penalty for juveniles in two thousand and five but today the united states is the only country that sentences kids to life without parole it was a view that as a substitute to the ultimate penalty there are now twenty five hundred inmates that were sentenced to die in jail as children this is

a peculiar american phenomenon in which we tend to believe that the harsher the penalties the greater the public safety pay off kids should instead be rehabilitated says that's the focus out of washington d.c. as newly opened new beginnings now walking into a classroom at new beginnings is much different from walking into a classroom at other juvenile detention facilities that this is considered to be a model facility it's a system based on rewards rather than punishment and experts say that this system is much more effective at rehabilitating you to become productive members of society but unfortunately places like this and the u.s. are rare here kids are given a second chance but in most prisons throughout the country remain america's forgotten children hope for the future gone at an early age in washington liz wall . still to come later this hour a costly hobby. when you when you get as good. a one when he

gave me my money back they never make you money back with gambling compulsion is taking over with more people falling victim to an industry many say is out to drain you dry. spain is causing a headache to investors with pressing concerns it may require international pay to help hundreds debts the government is implementing a big austerity program there at a time when almost a quarter of the workforce is unemployed and recession is knocking on the door once again and as jacob riis reports now from madrid the way the authorities are dealing with the crisis is leaving people there raging. for a construction which is now in ruins lately old the spanish economy has been building is this content expensive failure is still life strewn across the country the hundred fifty million euro castille an airport be one of the most i catch it

today it stands largely unused. and from madrid to pass alone are more stark reminder of excessive spending triggering public anger we are here everybody because he says i am he said before the elections he said nobody will be sick out but after they are shown then you know said everybody can be kicked out because of all these though these new low i'm briefing and later said like us. here is even among the crowds of doubt there is an after time force there are seats problems lawyer where these parts of days and for the tens of thousands of people gathered here in madrid alone and across the rest of the country many think that he made the wrong place we don't know what to do so we resorts to following whatever is that the line that all of us think they are without paying attention to the fact that maybe those of us have different interests but don't have our national

interests at heart the some don't think government policy is to blame mariano is familiar with austerity if is a sports ability should be shouldered by the individual. everyone owning property and having good cars but it was just an illusion of this person who are to have nothing to do with the lives of. many lives beyond their means who is paying having to slash twenty seven billion euro from its budget many are outraged that even education and health care will suffer from the cuts at a time when unemployment is higher than ever. we were deceived this global swindling means the financial sector the question is whether we've learned our lesson. but lessons from the past are not what the unemployed twenty three percent in spain are looking for they just won't work and a government that can provide it with many believing that cuts to health care

education and job security onerous. foundation. countries future degrees. people are gathering in central moscow to take part in the running staged by russia's communist party two thousand comrades are expected to turn out to show their support for one of russia's oldest political movements well correspondent it's about say events for us not to do what is this really about it. will carry as you can see just a ride behind me yeah the red flags of the communist party as well and they have banners and the playground are flying high with slogans made. decent life a. living person and saying live in russia without boots and now the rally is meant to gather all the members of the party together to draw about how to lead the country forward this week the v.w.

mr zyuganov said that they will use the problem entry as well as the non-problem mention methods to actually get the party to be a month more position so this rally really is about the election new hampshire the disappointing results in that election as well as some of the issues surrounding the party and the country as a whole but as you say we can see those people behind you there but just how popular is the communist party in russia these days. lost since the column entry elections in december fourth of last year they gained a little momentum a with the lefties movement now they did very well in that election with twenty percent of the vote in from the country going to them however in the march of the for this year during the presidential elections when mrs garner who was running through all your courage my default was i'm always come second to running for the fourth term again and then coming seconds i guess with

a discipline. hundred seventeen percent of the vote the party did not do as well as they expected with missiles gone and even coming out and say that these elections where they were not illegitimate and not transparent and they did not want to recognize the elections. which you mentioned another issue got off he's been in charge now for two decades of the past year how important is me for. kerry that's one of the main questions that the party is tackling at the moment with the youth movement coming into play the party is looking to shake things up a little bit from bringing in a new blogs as they call it to they want to read obeyed as they call it of the party they want to bring in the new deputies from all across the regions but the main question still remains what will happen to mrs it's gone up most of the

pundits and some of the experts political experts say that perhaps of the party does need a younger fresher leader who could go against people such as the. copper off who's made quite a name for themselves since the last recent election so all the time will tell what shakeup the communist party will have to make in the coming months and your. fortune from central moscow thank you. well it's time now to take a look at some other stories from around the world this stuff but the start of media is reporting an avalanche has buried one hundred soldiers in the disputed kashmir region after a military headquarters was engulfed in a rescue operation is underway such accidents are fairly common in the area two years ago another avalanche in countries mountainous region in the lives of twenty eight people. egypt's former vice president says intends to run as

a nice enough so one day when i was. on board ten thousand i got tonight when you want to when you know you're not. the one gambler you know you want to celebrate it's a gamble more if you lose you want to get your money back it's not really no illusion like you. how can you just walk away once you put on a compulsive gambler and i'll call a cop well why would he have to report something. lost every penny or had ronald pawned his grandfather's war medals and stole from his own family stating think that's so he could gamble more but even when loan sharks held a gun to his head he still couldn't stop gambling. and said i didn't know that money back you know and the sad thing was that i'd made it a tie in their name but the sickness in morehead told me but now you can go out and game with them or i with that money with the money

this would ever get. john recognizes his problem but countless thousands in britain don't and when it comes to gambling there's only ever one winner arthur bennett. privacy may soon become a thing of the past as governments around the world attempt to closely monitor internet use its. new york streets of manhattan to just how much information people are willing to share. in the name of national security governments around the globe are trying to pass legislation that allows them to monitor censor and just what people on line are you ok with this week let's talk about that for national security reasons i wouldn't object to that but that's the case isn't it yeah it should be legal

so you trust them to use that power wisely. i have a big about it but i think so yes. you know that does make you do. maybe if you're in the u.s. or some other place in my field then yeah exactly security there is a privacy also counts so. we're going to find out regardless anyway. so you don't mind i'm looking through your e-mail. going to find important in my e-mail but it's your e-mail and it's your life and they don't have any way to look through i agree with you on that. but. it's. hard to explain i guess. you know to be. the right person that's that's why you have you know that's where

you. can trust. and why they're doing it but i also don't want them to get too much into your personal business. do you think that's just the way it's going you know as a society as we move more on line is inevitably our mind going to be not so free. to do you think about that when you go online that someone might be watching all the time. not the government. whether or not you think it's ok for a government to monitor its citizens the bottom line is before you post anything online you might want to consider who could be listening. as the russian resort city of sochi to host the twenty fourteen winter olympics.
