serious trouble truce nationwide rallies flare up along with reports of ongoing killings as the un security council decides on whether to send in the cease fire observer. hopes of a breakthrough by breaking the silence as world powers meet with the brawn over its nuclear program for the first time in more than a year. and voting for villains the indian election where the crooked crook candidate the citizens choosing between abuts murder and mafia fraudsters.

live from our studios in central moscow you're watching r t with me and he says no way this sunday it's two pm here in the russian capital one pm in damascus and syria's three day old cease fire is being put to the task with reports of ongoing clashes and killing but he wants top body is expected to vote this saturday over deploying a monitoring mission anti-government rallies have resumed across the country but there's concern they're being hijacked by the rebels as a sign of boycott now reports from the syrian capital. it was good friday for syrian out of the descriptions but it didn't bode well for the country at large three people lost their lives in demonstrations lation by threatening the fragile ceasefire point even reached the end of its second day of opposition groups not messing about stop provoking further clashes in syria and actually put into effect

what kofi annan streets plan wants which is to sit down on the groceries and table with the government as with all their uprising in the arab spring the largest of clashes in syria have often taken place after friday prayers in what some believe has been and may need. for political ends but in the run up to that day this week the opposition tried a new tactic. possibly removed from the repercussions of their statements exults revolutionaries made the point the demonstrations and the ceasefire couldn't co-exist any moment the troops are withdrawn from the cities those people in the government in the regime know very well that hundreds of thousands. in the streets freedom seeking crowd have become a glorified image of the arab spring but in reality demonstrations often resulted in crime and violence in egypt journalists were sexually harassed as protest has

demanded more rights in libya a soldier was lynched right between calls for elections varia there are fears that rallies may be deliberately used to derail the peace process i'm very concerned that in case of sort of large gatherings of people the possibility of provocations will be greatly enhanced so instead of instead of talking about demonstrations opposition leaders must finally formulate their attitude towards political dialogue demonstrations here i'm not banned but those who hit the streets without permission from the interior ministry swiftly arrested and while this official admit some heavy handedness on the part of the government he says it's borne out of the security challenges serious crimes they're facing when one of the challenges the government is facing is distinction between democratic protesters and armed groups we're not afraid of the peaceful opposition to business created by the government's own supporters who are trying to prevent these armed groups using these

demonstrations for provocations killing civilians and blaming the killings on the government especially when the cease fire is still in its early stages but it doesn't mean that political discourse to stifle the decades syrians have gathered in the countries many who cafes were no topic is now off limits of them from going out to france italy going to. so you took over. in this group of high school friends bold have studied or traveled abroad and while they are perfectly familiar with the notion of western liberties they say what's being imposed in syria now has nothing to do with freedom but you know what's the real worry is that for you what is it for you you know i was in the. woods used to go over. there for. anybody else what are these going. around your friends are asking if you look at my stuff everybody's afraid of him and that's what continues driving

syrians apart some are fighting for freedom others are fearing for their lives the right to demonstrate is an undeniable human right but is it equal to the right well maybe syrians do recognize that their country's political system needs to be changed but they see first things first and if opposition is genuinely interested in stopping the bloodshed for the time being it may consider responding to the government cease fire with their own. initiative it's not going to artsy damascus syria well writer and commentator f. william and all has been closely following serious conflicts since it began he says the u.s. and its allies are fueling the trouble by backing the opposition. the rebels are being armed from outside. and then being sent in from outside they've been trained by the cia by french intelligence by british intelligence and send in there to

create these incidents these random shootings of civilian buses school children and so forth and then to play but i'm adopting these are armed gangs of mercenaries that often we don't even know where this morning some people i've spoken to ben throughout syria they don't know who they're fighting for are fighting against they're just paid money given guns and go in there to al-qaeda that hillary clinton is supporting al-qaeda afford to take literally but you have journalists from al-jazeera signing in protest because al-jazeera is refusing to tell the truth about us but outside syria this is an armed intervention into your legal violation when chartered by the united states and various other countries including most likely turkey to try to destabilize the. straps regime that should be against you and your. well for the first time in fifteen months international talks on iran's nuclear program have resumed six major world powers and tehran are meeting in turkey there's hope of

a solution this time with an urgent need to diffuse tension in the region especially with israel threatening a preemptive military strike iran has been increasing its uranium enrichment in recent years which it says is for peaceful energy but the west suspects it's making a bomb u.s. and europe have imposed tough sanctions including an oil embargo that comes into force in july many countries have compline but china has agreed to help expand the bounce tanker fake economist patrick young says potus ers are set to suffer more from the sanctions. absolutely tragic for them because just at the point in time where all of the other colors of their civilization are gradually being because the fiscal firmament is a total disaster they find that the oil got back hard very reasonable prices is suddenly going to have to go to market rates all of that they're going to have to transource from somewhere else so it's one of these curious predicaments who are no one really wants to argue about the politics of the affair got ultimately into the

european union's weakest nations that are actually in the direct line to suffer more than necessarily they are really in some cells i mean clearly the e.u. has a series of different issues that it wants to bring forward and one of them is that the european union wants to appoint some kind of major foreign powers and the problem then is of course that sometimes you have to do things and current policy the well to use an old irish expression you end up cutting off your nose to spite your face in other words you end up with a problem because actually economically you can hurt your own people rather than somewhere else but again i think the problem with this is it's a kind of growing pain for the european union because they haven't really got their head around how they can manage to juggle all the different goals of the multinational state to whether it be the economy what are their feeling of business or indeed international standards who are obviously they're trying very very hard to stop around getting

a nuclear weapon but at the same time the way that they don't it is not good for their economy. in regard to you live from moscow on the way challenges drop it science science has north korea for else to put a satellite into orbit but still succeeds in sparking global fury we hear by the threat may be over hyped. and future british generations will have to bear the brunt of never ending loans that are making a comeback after first appearing from world war one. but first elections should be about choosing upstanding citizens who will do their civic duty but in new delhi on sunday boaters will get to choose from alleged false servers and murder suspects and to a fifth of candidate seemingly have a criminal past as preassure now explains. show the new she's been a councillor representing one of the wards in india's capital city for five years

all of the one hundred thirty nine candidates in delhi's municipal election the nisha has the second highest number of charges pending against him but he says the allegations are bogus and that on a general level the problem in india isn't as serious as it sounds. there's no truth and it's a conspiracy i was in fact fighting for the people when they charged me with false accusations how can anyone called as a criminal case. judge the choke car is working to make indian political candidates backgrounds more transparent to voters he says money often means power regardless of how it's obtained with. the money and the muscle. of money and lots of both. money and. anger. while the indian parliament

for many decades its major problem of course is money it costs half a billion dollars to launch one of these rockets and that's a lot of money in north korea they don't have a lot of money to continually test these things so failure frankly is more likely than success on the side of threat does north korea really represent a threat well frankly it doesn't have much in the way of military at this point course as a very large army we're talking about a military that is declined rather precipitously relative to the south korean military and certainly relics of the the us military the nuclear program was in some sense an attempt to level the field the fact that it doesn't have much of a nuclear program and. neither of which were particularly successful stride to put a satellite into orbit hasn't been successful that suggests that this attempt to level the playing field is proof represents for north korea kind of

leader was killed last may by american special forces. britain has big bills to pay but it's looking to a century old solution when times were even tougher remember in england's to cover the cost of the first world war still being repaid today but the treasury chief is planning more and that means a financial headache for the next generation as i regret it reports. strapped for cash and deep in debt the u.k. government has a plan but buyers beware all's not as it seems chancellor george osborne wants to bring back never ending loans dumping the government's crippling debt on to future generations it'll still be borrowing only this is money george and friends won't have to pay back sounds too good to be true that's because it is nothing there to stay here elements of a period this is a good time for the u.k. tax by police to be issued but that begs the question of who would buy it if it's a good time to issue them when it's not

a good time to buy there would be buyers at the taxpayers themselves shouldering the government's vast one trillion pound debt pile by lending it money also on offer a bond settlement sure after one hundred years these workers if the government taking out a very generous mortgage benefiting from its current rock bottom interest rates for another century bad news for whoever's lending the money the only way you could actually make money here is if there was no inflation between now and the year twenty one twelve a very optimistic outlook take the last hundred years for example if i did bested one hundred pounds back in one nine hundred twelve iterates of three point four percent say this year it would have turned into almost three thousand pounds sounds ok in itself but it's nothing compared to what i would have got just for inflation which would have seen one hundred pounds ballooned into almost nine thousand so who would fall for such a cheap trick well no one of course but that's where the government gets its own

investment rules would force pension funds to buy against their will not exactly fair play but this is a monopoly with only one winner you know this is what happens in markets when governments and risks are enormous you know the risks of buying a one hundred year. gilt from the u.k. government on historical evidence given inflation patterns in the past would suggest that. anything close to current. you would lose money on the last time britain issued neverending loans was after world war one and massive deficits still burning a hole in the taxpayers' pocket even today and now this government's doing the same offloading its own mountain of debt to be someone else's problem the bennetts r t london. answer we ask is the digital drive down.

a frontier land where a deadly conflict is underway. almost a mass disaster situation the disaster which doctor has faces is the growing number of unidentified bodies being found along arizona's southern desert bodies stacked high in a fight for space and perhaps even a proper burial one day it becomes not so much an effort to perturb and why that person died comes an effort to sort out who's who were inside of the pima county cooler at the medical examiner's office which has the capacity to hold hundreds of bodies now this facility is much larger than other places around the country pacifically because of the issue of bodies being pounds along the border even so lack of storage is a major headache three hundred summer means we had a refrigerated truck parked out here. to help us with overflow some arrives he

has led to what some call a death trap internationally migration is. there's attempts to control migration through the same tactics the militarization through building walls and we see them in various places them in india and pac and you see this in health and in israel you've seen we thought you know disastrous wall attempt. in germany many remains found in the desert are merely bone fragments making them difficult to identify you know other cases remains of the missing are never found leaving hundreds perhaps thousands of families wondering what happened to their loved ones during their journey north the reality is militarizing borders does not control migration while politicians argue over who can spend the most money to fortify the border hundreds more john and jane jo's day chasing the american dream would end up here at the
