reports that serious crimes will cease fire is disrupted by further deadly clashes call the u.n. rather to send in more observers. back around the table after more than a year of silence and suspicion the world powers meet with the wrongs of the stuff its nuclear program chevron insists is peaceful. and the people of new delhi are said to vote in regional elections but could end up being a choice between the legs to murderers and props or the many candidates marred by a criminal past.

it's five pm here in moscow this is archie coming to you live from you so now with our top story the third day of a cease fire in syria is being put to the test for the reports are shellings and killings the un security council is expected to vote on saturday over deploying an observer mission to monitor the truce and the government rallies have resumed across the country but there's concern they're being hijacked by rebels some avoid the reports from damascus. it was good friday for syrian orthodox christians but it didn't bode well for the country at large three people lost their lives in demonstrations nationwide threatening the fragile ceasefire before it even reached the end of its second day of opposition groups not messing about stop provoking for the clashes in syria and actually put into effect what call finance peace plan

wants which is to sit down on the groceries and table with the government as with other uprising in the arab spring the bloodiest of clashes in syria have often taken place after friday prayers in what some believe has been and many people ation for allegiance for political ends but in the run up to bad day this week the opposition tried a new tactic. possibly removed from the repercussions of the statements themselves revolutionaries made that point the demonstrations and the ceasefire we couldn't call exist any moment the troops are withdrawn from the cities those people in the government in the regime know very well that hundreds of thousands.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 this three to freedom seeking crowd have become a glorified image of the arab spring when in reality demonstrations often resulted in crime and violence in egypt female journalists were sexually harassed as protesters demanded more rights and lead via

a soldier was lynched by between calls for elections for syria there are fears that rallies may be deliberately used to derail the peace process i am 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 violent demonstrations here are miliband but those who hit the streets without permission from the interior ministry swiftly arrested and while this official i'd need some heavy handedness on the part of the government he says is borne out of the security challenges serious crimes are facing. one of the challenges the government is facing is distinguishing between democratic protesters and armed groups we are not afraid of the peaceful opposition players as created by the government's own supporters who we are trying to prevent as armed groups using these demonstrations

for provocations killing civilians and blaming the killings on the government specially now when the ceasefire is still in its early stages but it doesn't mean that political discourse is life'll for decades syrians have gathered in the countries many who could cafes where no topic is now off limits the ground going go to france italy but the. so you talk about. in this group of high school friends old 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 and what's free or is it free and easy for you. i was. once used to go wherever you are never seen anybody else in the story. your friends are going to be late for my six

everybody's afraid of you and that's what continues driving syrians apart as some of 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 to leave but many syrians do recognize that their country's political system needs to be changed but they see first things first and if the opposition is genuinely interested in stopping the bloodshed for the time being it may consider responding to the government's ceasefire with their own seize down my initiative at some point there are three damascus syria. the us has stepped up aid to the syrian opposition as the rebels and government in damascus are trying to hold that frontal ceasefire together author of william and also as washington and its allies are only fueling the trouble back in one side in the conflict. the rebels are being armed from outside. and they're being sent in from outside they're being trained by the cia by french

intelligence by british intelligence and sent in there to create these incidents these random shootings of civilian buses school children and so forth and then to claim it on the government these are armed gangs of mercenaries and often we don't even know if it is working to some people i've spoken to who been throughout syria they don't know who they're fighting for fighting against they're just paid money given guns and go in there to eat or that hillary clinton is supporting al qaeda if we're to take her at literally you have journalist from zero zero zero zero zero zero resigning in protest because al jazeera is refusing to tell the truth about what's going on inside syria this is an armed intervention and you legal violation when chartered by the united states and various other countries including most likely turkey to try to destabilize the. steps regime that should be against you and charter. six major world powers any rauner holding talks in turkey about ways to remove suspicion that iran's nuclear program has

a military dimension the discussions have resumed after a fifteen month break with the previous round ending in stalemate iran has recently increased iranian enrichment amid fears it could be seeking a nuclear weapon but let's not discuss this with crohn qian mokhtari a columnist and commentator in tehran live with us on the line we've seen just recently the head of the iranian delegation sigal loudly and the e.u. foreign policy chief catherine ashton not seeking pounds at the beginning of this meeting of course that is the formal gesture they you would expect you see it here they run into each other don't shake hands what from this mean i mean it's hardly an encouraging start to these talks what's the jester telling us. well this is actually fairly routine within the islamic culture men and women do not shake hands and. the iranian delegation is following by religious rules

so there isn't much significance in that i mean the significance of before coming into these two will see is the fact that the leader of iran's islamic revolution actually you should have found swallow a religious creed banning the production of nuclear weapons and i was very much to wish everybody well on their way with a nice round of thought so that is perhaps the most significant gesture to take them away iran leading up to the talks about barack obama instead of the tops were the last chance for diplomacy to work so it looks like the stakes are really high this time what do you think. and very much so this not. being becoming getting bigger and bigger and bigger more complicated over time and neither side has taken any steps to make this situation less complex and this this i believe that this process this new process this new round of talks must

be taken to a place where they can start slowly on rattling this not because the consequences if this. issue is not addressed properly in this round great for all sides but mainly for the people as per usual. by iran has promised a new initiative at these talks what can we expect from them. well it is iran has eight thousand centrifuges going at the moment and iran has confirmed back none of these centrifuges are producing fuel. required for a nuclear weapon they're producing fuel to twenty percent which is for fuel paid for to iran's research reactor. so really it's unrealistic to think that any human richmond could be start but i i believe that in view of the lack of evidence of

iran deviation in iran's nuclear energy i believe that these round of talks will concentrate on confidence building and transparency in both sides of of the argument and should they proceed we're likely to see a an outcome which is which is acceptable to both sides if there is as i said if there is if there is not a suitable outcome but consequences will be grave indeed for both parties you know it clearly is under unprecedented pressure here is it ready for compromise. as i did mention iran has come forward with good intentions and i think the biggest compromise you're likely to see your biggest gesture of compromise could have come from the leader of the islamic revolution ayatollah seyyed ali harmony and he issued a fatwa

a big creek which which are banned all all the production of of nuclear weapons and he did so just to reassure the p five plus one that no such thing will be taking place within a theocracy within which he's issued is the cream. can mokhtari columnist and commentator by robert on the line from tehran is these talks the first talks in fifteen months of world powers and iran takes place. well coming up for you want to see age old solutions to the debt crisis in the u.k. it's treasury plans to issue never ending bonds last seen after the first world war stifling generations to come with billions of pounds to be paid also. so it's deadlier the border is absolutely deadlier a dream destination but a fatal power we report from the us mexico border where many illegal immigrants perish as they try to find

a new life in america. but first over two thousand candidates for new delhi municipal elections will try to woo voters on sunday but many might find it hard to make their choice and not because of the overwhelming numbers a fifth of the candidates are standing up for office despite a dubious past as pretty sure now reports. show denise has been a councillor representing one of the wards in india's capital city for five years he's up for reelection this year and says he wants nothing more than to serve his community for being in politics as long social work i'm in it to serve the public because it gives me something to function i know their needs but alongside these lofty aspirations are some murky allegations he knew she has been charged with attempted murder intimidation assaulting a public servant and arms rioting he says he's not guilty of the charges but he's

not the only candidate in this year's municipal elections facing serious allegations according to the association for democratic reform about fifteen to twenty percent of candidates from both major political parties have a criminal background many actually have pending cases involving serious allegations like murder kidnapping extortion and robbery and actually in a recent local alack shin ten family candidate who actually campaigning from and jail. all of the one hundred thirty nine candidates in delhi is 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 on point fighting for the people who want to charge me with false accusations how can anyone called as

a criminal case. judge the show 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. money and all of the muslim. money and muscle both. money and. anger. while the indian parliament could pass a law to make it illegal for criminals to run for office choke our doubts it will happen since almost a quarter of the lawmakers themselves have trouble pasts in a country known for corruption and bribery some voters say they simply want to lap someone who they think can get the job done we should not much with the history of the politician standing up for elections whether he's been

a criminal in the past or not only we need to see is whether he brings to us. but in a country where so much development is needed others feel that process is being undermined by shady allegations were candidates backgrounds are now very much in the foreground preassure either r t new delhi india. now tens of thousands have gathered in a football stadium in pyongyang so their support for north korea's ruling family the nation's gearing up to mark one hundred years since the birth of its founder kim il sung which is on sunday but amid the celebrations north korea has been deprived of american food aid response the controversial rocket launch on thursday the rocket fell into the sea just moments after a blast off but still farms world condemnation of violating u.n. presence it creates ban from ballistic tests over a few years and still valid and long range nuclear weapons however i spritz on favorite things can yank poses little threat to anyone. in many respects north

korea is technologically quite advanced and has been for many years for many decades is major problem of course is not me because 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 of course as a very large army but we're talking about a military that is the client rather precipitously relative to the south korean military and certainly relative to 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 maybe it's held two tasks neither of which were particularly successful tried to put

a satellite into orbit hasn't been successful that suggested this attempt to level the playing field represents for north korea kind of a baseline of deterrence but no kind of offensive threat for other countries. you can get more on that story and much more on our website r.t. dot com also online today norway's trial of the century find out why and. proof is needed to not support over seventy people on a holiday either my summer is reportedly set to argue he was acting in self-defense . and tens of thousands rally in egypt in support of banning former president hosni mubarak's officials from running for the country's top job next month all the details on that and many more stories that are to me. let's take a look now at some world news in brief for you this hour eight shia muslims have been killed in separate attacks in southwest pakistan in the first incident gunmen riding a motorcycle ambushed

a car and shot the six people minutes later they killed two other travellers in a rickshaw in the same area shia muslims are the minority in pakistan and are often targeted by extremists among the sunni majority. five people have been killed in bombing in south sudan along with just border region. with sudan tensions escalated after southern forces seized the town of language responsible for half of sudan's oil production the un wants forces from both sides to withdraw behind borders and for violence to be stopped the fighting along the oil which fronts here is the worst since the south became independent last july. a roadside bomb targeting a security protocol has killed two policemen west of the iraqi capital their vehicle was destroyed in the blast in which one more police officer was also injured most of iraq's recent violence has been blamed on sunni militants trying to

shatter the country's shia led government. and five days of clashes between yemeni troops and al qaeda linked militants have left over two hundred people dead thirty seven were killed on friday alone it follows a military offensive against insurgents who attacked a military camp in the south took control of several towns in the area during a year of political turmoil to depose president saddam. the u.k.'s debt is growing steadily and the treasury is looking at drastic measures to tackle it suggesting never ending long to make a reappearance that's despite the fact that previous ones issued to cover the cost of the first world war are still being slowly repaid today and the new loans will mean future generations will inherit nothing but that that's artie's i 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 money this is money george and friends won't have to pay back sounds too good to be true that's because it is i think the states there are elements of the period this is a good time to be taxed by for these to be issued but that begs the question of who would buy because it is a good time to issue them then it's not a good boy there would be buyers at the taxpayers themselves shouldering the government's rasta one trillion pound debt pile by lending it money but also on off a bonds that will mature 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 is lending the money the only way you can 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 had bested one hundred pounds back in nineteen twelve at a rate of three point four percent say and this year it would have almost three thousand pounds sounds ok in itself but it's nothing compared to what i would have got just from inflate said 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 this is what happens in markets when governments into the risks are enormous you know the risks of buying a one hundred year. kilt from the u.k. government are historic evidence given inflation patterns in the past would suggest

that anything close to current yield level you would lose money on the last time britain issued never ending loans was after world war one a massive deficit 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 i've been it r t london. every year thousands from mexico and latin america trying to make it to the u.s. to start with of illegal immigration american authorities have beefed up security along the border with mexico as ramon kalinda reports it's becoming the final destination for scores of people. the wind blows through the rugged sonora desert in arizona helping shape its rocky valleys and spectacular peaks it's a treasure of the american southwest but this is also

a frontier land where a deadly conflict is underway. it's almost a mass disaster situation the disaster which dr harris 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 and becomes not so much and for it to. determine why that person died becomes an effort to sort out who's who were inside of the pima county cooler at the medical examiner's office which has a 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 found 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 tactical military solution through building walls and we see them in various places in india and pakistan you see this in health and in israel you've seen. this wall attempt. in germany many remains found in the desert are merely bone fragments making them difficult to identify you know there are 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 jean de chasing the american dream would end up here at the pima county morgue in tucson
