record jobless leave investors cagey over whether the euro zone's fourth largest economy could really is stable but. come for me kevin owen it's just after midnight here in moscow you're watching r.t. and our top story to mask is playing terrorist gangs for the recent spate of violence in syria saying they've increased their activity ahead of the ceasefire deadline however the u.n. condemns the syrian authorities for the killing despite the pledge to pull back running of this story our middle east correspondent paula. president bashar assad says that he is fighting these armed groups ahead of the april tenth deadline which was agreed to according to his plan and he also says that these armed groups are increasing their activity he says that they are interested only in violence and

that they're being funded and armed by countries such as to keep saudi arabia and qatar and i'll show support for our side in the reforms he's been implementing the thousands of syrians took to the streets of damascus on saturday in a massive rarely rarely coming while banki moon says that syria has not been doing enough to show its commitment to enhance proposal but this is something that assad has denied he says that for days now he has been withdrawing his tanks and troops from numerous cities like damascus is worried about the commitment coming forward from the opposition side it says it is no indication from the opposition as to whether or not they fully committed to the peace plan and they're also concerned by the void that will now be opened in the cities where the troops no longer are at the same time there is a united nations team in damascus preparing the groundwork for next week's cease fire did lie in the rebel fighters continue to look for support from aboard we are

hearing from the united states from its allies and from other gulf countries that they wanted him to maximize and increase the material support that they are giving it to the rebels at the same time the rebels are calling for the conditional stepping down of the syrian president bashar assad and indeed this is not a condition that was put forward in court in as planned or indeed any united nations statement on syria in doorstep blair and the friends of syria meeting that happened several days ago really has become the friends of the syrian opposition and here too we're hearing even more pledges to increase support for the rebel fighters now the rebels as i say have yet to officially agree and that is proposal and this is some. thing that has many an international community concerned and monday in moscow which has made the point that as countries continue to indorse funding as well as supplying arms to the rebel fighters this is nearly going to inflame the situation and the violence on the ground. more international news

tonight bahrain security forces fired tear gas and water cannons at the crowd of people on friday it's only eventually become know now though because events are very difficult to verify the recently thousands marched in support of jailed human rights activists who serving a life sentence for taking part in last is that the government uprising he's been on a hunger strike for two months and is being treated in a military hospital the middle east expert on the wrist told me the man's case gives more momentum to the movement that's putting extensive pressure on the bahraini regime right now. these hunger strikes i think they do contribute there you do achieve their goal because what they do is they reveal the real tactics which are being pursued by the regime in order to clamp down on the protesters. more and more such acts i think call for that expose believe true nature or the truth practice which the regime use using and what they are that the laws he puts

more pressure on certain western countries also the european powers in order to change their stance visibly visibly the regime in bahrain the focus is all on syria and what's going on in syria of course setting aside the training we all know that the fifth fleet in bahrain does exist we also know and i think this is the main issue here that bahrain is a very close ally of saudi arabia and saudi arabia hence is one of the allies of the u.s. so when we speak at all of the blackout being put on the plane i think first and foremost this is a saudi arabian wish because the saudi arabians also fear that there might be a domino effect which could happen in the persian gulf beginning from the holiday inn and then spreading to spread into saudi arabia the international community is still focused on world also i think that all contributes to the anger which we're witnessing the popular anger which in the end i believe will achieve the end goals . coming up in this half hour of news the britons risking everything on the roll of the dice we look at how the u.k.

is galloping industries becoming russian roulette for calculus and exeunt able to fight them to reveal. the red alert for moscow as hundreds of communist supporters hit the streets to try and shake off the party's soviet image. next the mollies giant has agreed to hand power to civilian rule in return for an end to sanctions imposed by the country's neighbors as part of the agreement the west african bloc ecowas will lift trade in fuel bans on mali and grant amnesty for those involved in the coup because his parliamentary speaker is said to be sworn in as interim president and organize an actions within forty days critical crisis in mali broke out when the military seized power and topple the president last month saying he'd failed in his efforts against the insurgency and then taking advantage of the chaos rebels captured key towns in the north and declared independence for the area i spoke to an expert in african politics milton other narvi told me the rebellion in mali is the result he thinks of the nato bombardment of libya. for people to try to

pretend that this rebellion is not charged with a war of that 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 but 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 are the insurgency in other regions in that part of the world but also equally well equipped we might just be seeing the beginning of the aftermath of the collapse of the libyan government. spain may have unveiled twenty seven billion euros worth of cuts but investors still aren't sure the country's on the road to recovery a huge figure still short of previous deficit targets and it's drawn hundreds of thousands of people out in protest as a greens reports next they're angry at the government saving the euro their

thousands of people who are gathered here in madrid alone and across the rest of the country many think will be made in the wrong place we don't know what to do so we resort 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 don't have our national interests at heart but some don't think government policy is to blame mariano is familiar with austerity if there's a sports ability should be shouldered by the individual. everyone enjoys owning property and having good cars but it was just an illusion. he had nothing to do with the lives of corners when he lived beyond their means who is spain having to slash twenty seven billion euro from his budget many are outraged that even education and health care will suffer from the cuts at the time when unemployment is higher than ever when we would have seen 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 want work and a government that can provide it with many believing that cuts to health care education and job security. they will foundation which troop build the country's future degrees r.t. the dritte. of the handling of its drawn out financial been seen as leading the bloc of both energy and influence political science professor appear to believe that stern policies would extend the yawning gap between rich and poor the e.u. influence is waning for reasons then have to do with this so-called debt crisis that is the way european leaders are trying to solve a crisis which banks invented by not taking appropriate measures and also all these

new liberal policies but make the rich richer and the poor poorer and there is an tag in his employer's that on the part of many people they want a different kind of europe they're hostile to the way europe runs its analysis or is totally incompetent when it comes to solving the so-called debt problem is if we had a functioning central bank they would be no problem so there is this weariness and hostility against this particular kind of europe. when i did i would see their kong report on russia's far reaching around patients tonight just a click away the moon's potential is up for grabs apparently wealthy scientists as russia plans to be the forefront of establishing a permanent manned mission on the lunar surface princeton that what's planned take a look at our website we've got to load them for you plus those pictures from awful story yesterday the american fighter jet that crashed into that apartment block in a state of virginia i mean you feel sorry for the people that were injured of

importance of my e-mail part of it i can see and why they're doing it but i also don't want them to get too much into you know our personal business we are willing to pay poor to let the authorities pry into their own lives private lives interesting story coming up for not called out for most already plus other lympics standard historical find is a rare ancient temples uncovered at the site the twenty fourteen winter games here in russia and the city of sochi more about. the next when it comes to gambling it's clear really hits the jackpot online betting sites in britain right now are booming but it's leaving those hoped into trying their hand penniless homeless or even worse and it's no use expecting help from the multi-billion dollar industry there is a bennett's been hearing from struggling addicts. ok the famous drink and drugs can be named ronald's a compulsive gambler he started dating when he was fifteen and couldn't stop for

fifty years his addictions left him with nothing years ago. referring to. me for months it was a nice thing last one day when i was regularly until ten thousand. the matter where you want to when you know you know there's usually one gambling we want to celebrate it's again if you lose you want to get your money back it's not what we know losing. one can you just walk away once you take on a compulsive gambler. why would he have two three points. lost every time your head ronald paunch his grandfather's war medals and stole from his own family staging picts 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 the money

back. you know and the safe thing was that i might be a pioneer name. morehead told me but now you can go out and gamble to morrow with that money we know money a pile of money. but for the the no one the money from no one the money we think. it took five prison terms two divorces and being shunned by his family for ronald to finally manage to walk away he hasn't gambled for three years but for the gambling industry addictions like his mean profit today one in ten seventeen year olds is at risk of developing the same dangerous compulsion a shocking statistic from a leaked regulators report the industry tried to silence so you have a gambling reg red regulator which is relatively feeble it is in bed with the gambling industry which isn't in the slightest degree interested in the prevention of gambling harm and there's the rub britain's one of the few countries in the

developed world that actually allows children to gamble and this and places like this don't actually let us film inside but even kids are allowed to play on the arcade machines in there for the jackpot of up to five pounds johns just eighteen and has already been gambling for four years first scratch cards in the lottery now online poker but it's a win. loss and. dealing all together. it. makes a grand way to get money my winnings go shave back in syria. go read system from. your money every summer like ronald john turned to crime to pay for his addiction selling drugs and stealing his only income now is unemployment welfare but as soon as he gets it it disappears like money will be one . of the marriages when you when you get it's good really miss they will use it

again finish the money back they never making money. the thing you've got a problem if you sit here. yeah definitely. how serious. it is when. john recognizes his problem but countless thousands in britain don't and when it comes to gambling is only one winner i have been it. london. international news in brief tonight an avalanche is said to pakistan's military base simelane blast serious buried over one hundred civilians and soldiers but their rescue has been suspended because of bad weather and darkness now as night fell no survivors were found in the areas on the northern tip of the divided kashmir region that's claimed by both india and pakistan and it's known as the world's highest battlefield. yemen's

ousted president has shut down the country's main airport really the shoot down planes the siege came after two military changed close to the former leader was sacked the reshuffle came as al qaeda government launched attacks against government sites suicide missions targeting security forces intensified since president having took office in february after year protests against the regime. malawi's vice president has been sworn into office following the sudden death of sept joyce banda the country's or indeed southern africa's first ever woman leader in what's one of the world's poorest countries she took over after the previous president died of a heart attack on thursday and is expected to stay in charge into the shape of the election in twenty fifteen the us is the only country in a world of jails young offenders for life without parole because it treats them as adults for their crimes and what's worse are the conditions treatment in abuse

their own face behind bars that is loose while reports it causes others who do get released to be stuck in a cycle of re offending. authorities in western pennsylvania have charged eleven year old jordan brown as an adult the boys will have lined up trial together in adult court but wait that his sentence is also the length of his life they're not old enough to drive drink or vote but in america kids as young as seven years old can be tried as adults when you hold a youth icon of will 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 and an adult prison you never know what one of my daughters and i do to you so you do be fair and right. with what happened to me he was locked up for the first time when he was twelve years old here at oak hill juvenile correctional facility or killed and that wasn't and as it was the design and so rehabilitation it was designed for punishment you know having barwise around again

and just paying for tiger lifestyle like most kids that serve time as a juvenile in the us he got into trouble again at seventeen he was charged with armed robbery as an adult he says for a kid being an adult prison is a constant struggle to survive they know why it is we come off the bus and you don't know if you are you just so they pull you when but in reality trying to get a favorite you fired a sexual act you know and if you know it you become someone's. person he was spared from sexual abuse 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 health 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 cam says for five months he spent twenty three and a half hours per day locked up alone i could have went crazy. is i would i want to say we're not going to do for their own critics slam the practice of putting kids in adult jails as cruel and unusual punishment but they are less capable of understanding the consequences of their behavior. 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 for 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 harsher penalties the greater the public safety payoff kids should instead be rehabilitated

says lubell that's the focus out of washington d.c. these newly opened new beginnings now walking into a classroom at new beginnings is much different from walking into a classroom at other denial 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 i 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 wahl r.t. . you turpin your username or your password and you hope you believe your online privacy is sacrosanct firms like google and facebook store tons of our personal data said with no legislation circling to let third parties take a peek at our private information are we ready though to share those find out.

in the name of national security governments around the globe are trying to pass legislation that allows them to monitor censor and disrupt people online are you ok with that this week let's talk about that for national security reasons i wouldn't object to that bazza that's the case isn't it yeah it should be legal so you trust them to use that power wisely. i haven't think about it but i think so yes i'm from finland you know so that does make a difference. maybe if you're in the u.s. or some other place in my feel different yeah exactly security risible privacy also counts so for me it's. accepted we're going to find out regardless anyway so let's look at it so you don't mind i'm looking through your e-mail i have nothing

but they're going to find of importance in my e-mail but it's your e-mail and it's your life and they don't have any way to look true i agree with you on that. but boy. it's hard to explain i guess you know it's just the nature of a world where you have to. have some type of power you know to be. we just have to try to let the right person that's where you get the chance that's where you have a ballot you know that's where you go out and you vote and vote for somebody who you think you can trust part of it i couldn't stand why they're doing it but i also don't want them to get too much into you know our personal business and yet it's a tough cause to to call it is do you think that's just the way it's going and you know as a society as we move more on line is inevitably our minds going to be not so free yes i do you think about that when you go online that someone might be watching all the time but more and more hackers and stuff like that so that was my biggest concern you know not the government not the government because they're probably

already looking. but they're. i think it's ok for a government to monitor it because then the bottom line is before you post anything and i you might want to consider who could be listening. as the russian city of sochi proposed for the twenty fourteen winter olympics the entire resorts enjoy a bit of a make over and while the vast construction efforts mostly about the future is also an earth something unique from the past. there is a lot you found when he went on the ground the discovery that would make indiana jones eyes light up the ruins of a nine century byzantine temple emerging from the ground as a future olympic. i'm now entering one of the hidden underground tombs. inside the grief of the parishioners monks and priests some of them are believed to have been martyrs for their faith until last year these ancient ruins were hidden

layer of rubbish all when this location was picked as a future olympic venue for the sortie winter games in two thousand and fourteen was every corner carefully surveyed and the temple saw the white once again and then surprisingly pristine condition for centuries these plodding stones skipped the ceiling from collapsing but of all the merchants we assume of container gannett materials like egg white to give it extra strength but this is the most prized discovery acquired with the biblical to stun it the first time anything like it has been found on the russian black sea coast. it's a story of same doing or who was thrown into the lion's den but instead of killing him the lions licked his feet this rarity and other whinings here will now go on display in small cheap precious artifacts which would otherwise never have been found will take their place alongside the olympic athletes who create history themselves two years time. r t. had it was

early sunday morning we spoke with paul in fifty minutes times and in some cases but close in on a second successive premier league title school of think about that if you get a weekend edition of moscow out as well with moderate andras hesiod two very soon in fact that is how the next thirty minutes but note don't r.t. coming from moscow.

at the end of the speech. you. will. be mislead and good thanks.
