has previously blocked pages that openly supported by charlotte it's so far failed to do anything to stop the calls for the killing of his supporters and many like the social activist believe that's been long overdue you. can see it as a night we can use it to the fruits of the kill and this they caught in me is ultimately at the core of the syrian crisis there is nothing wrong in calling for more freedom until some start using it as a cover to rob and kill assad worker artsy aleppo syria. syrian pro-government activist m r what carr says the fact that the un is acknowledging the opposition's role in the violence is a positive step. clearly making a sort of progress aren't we last time around i checked there was no vision at all neither of the armed groups nor of their atrocities and this happened when the un general assembly was voting on syria and they got a vote with

a majority of one hundred thirty seven countries so had some of those atrocities been mentioned probably that wouldn't have been the result let alone having that sort of a majority but we're getting there fourteen months down the line there are policy to go there on groups that there's only groups are committing atrocities there is a bit of suspicion with regard to the real objectives of such organizations you know the human rights commission or the i missed international who today accused the un of being not fit for purpose for failing to have a decisive action with regards to syria now the un has taken a decisive actions with regard to libya but was that for the benefit of the libyan people now tens of thousands of dead libyans will tell you no was that for the good of libya itself perhaps libya will not exist anymore so the objective was clearly only to topple the regime now is the objective of toppling the regime in syria would that be good for the syrian people probably almost probably you would not it's a welcome step the knowledge that there are groups but they need to take it

a little bit further and really scrutinize more of the information they're getting . for some countries arming disparate groups of our known rebels is a dangerous game but for others it's a vision statement as we report on the line the u.s. reportedly a step away from shipping arms to syria but working out how to select the correct members of the opposition what point you were going to walk away but. still feel luker in the holy city the vatican's bank's chief gets the boot over blundering money watering accusation details live out our team. counting underway after two days of voting in the first round of egypt's presidential election with results to early next week but the country's biggest political force the muslim brotherhood already claiming its candidate is leading

you put is that and since both of them would be irresponsible for then you could a situation and that is a conflict of interest of the both of them would like to maximize their power and some people and some analysts this is if islam is the blues. but is it the. presidential seat zeem a. parliamentarian system rather than a position system so leaving is a method of the constitution until we get a new president. it's a quite good it is. canada's increasingly violent student protest site nearly seven hundred arrests wednesday night alone the quebec rallies have now been going on for more than one hundred days many of those detained were carted off in public buses which police converted into temporary holding pen demonstrations swelled after quebec's government passed emergency laws last week making the protests more

difficult to organize montréal based journalist and activist adam kovacs said there is no sign either side will budge any time soon. i honestly can't tell you what caused the mass arrests everything from colleagues that i've spoken to you and people who were there they said that what touched off this mass arrest was a thrown water bottle if that some people claim to have not even seen that well i even people who don't agree with the students' point of view on this who issue have been very critical of recent in handling themselves there was a video that went viral of the police storming on to a bar how do you know and pepper spraying peter is after a chair was thrown most of the people who were on that have you know were just there to be at the bar of the if they were there as part of a protest obviously pressure is mounting from both sides on the provincial governments is the seeing pressure people are kind of sick of these protests going on there's an election coming up and students really showing no signs of slowing down so if you are in terms of an end in sight it's very hard to see how this will

resolve itself or when you stay with us here on r.t. still to come in the program britain is not playing fair with the olympic guest list the countries banning world leaders accused of human rights abuses from attending the games but the king of bahrain accused of violence at home has come to dine with the plane. and the seder is among the u.s. military we report on the training that taught troops that islam is the enemy. but first a game of brinkman brinksmanship is playing out in the dilemma over greece staying or quitting the euro economists see europe's monkey powerbrokers offering athens nothing new but nothing new to do but to do as told and keep cutting even though greek voters are increasingly likely to reject that next month peter all over has more. should they stay or should they go germany's angela merkel is adamant too if you mind is that for my part i would like to say that i

think we agree we want greece to remain in the euro zone we know that it's the same for a majority of greek people. but it seems plans are being drawn up in case those hopes fail the german blunders punk says the situation in greece is extremely worrying but isn't predicting the demise of the single currency should the greeks quit the euro a view certainly not shared by all if it won't happen if it won't become reality then we are really in a mess and it means automatically that this will spill a domino effect all over europe because then we have also a question of moral hazard for example if you overdo it you pull out of the euro zone and every problem is nowhere then the others will also begin to start ok it's a very nice solution for us we all sort of adepts for so fast it's easier to pull out of the euro portugal ireland i did here and also spain and italy at from the

beginning the only question was right now it's there in fact year zero skeptics feel that drastic german government action may be needed if europe's dominant economy is to avoid being swamped in the economic mire which is so called corrects it or greek exit could cause the only logical to your solution for this problem where we are in is that germany parts of germany has to pull out of the euro then the new currency that we have will go through the sky we will have big difficulties because sasha meant so long but we can live with it we can cope with it but it's not just here in germany that a post greek eurozone is being discussed finance ministers from all member states have been drawing up contingency plans to try and determine how a greek exit would affect their economies european leaders continue to throw their support behind greek single currency membership the country's rerun elections next

month the rapidly looking like a referendum on the euro and everything but name france's socialist president speaking after the informal brussels summit looked like a man trying to woo the greek electorate with rather softer talk. if. it was mentioned that we would be using the structural fund to support the growth efforts of greece as well so that the greek voters can be confident as to what support will come after june the seventeenth. so as the future of greece in the euro zone enters what could be its final act top e.u. figures say it's all down to its people let's wait for the people of greece to have their say on the seventeenth of june. and we will not let all the symbols video by those who want to promote speculative scenarios let's wait i do we'll of the greek people but it's wait and see time but with deep resistance in greece towards

austerity there's no clear outcome in sight for this crisis these are all other r.t. . britain's banning world leaders who have committed human rights abuses from attending the london olympics but the king of bahrain has regimes accused of torture and killings in an opposition crackdown still came to dine with the queen last week human rights activist peter tatchell says britain and the us give bahrain preferential treatment and it comes down to oil quite clearly there is double standards going on in the united states itself sound stands accused of many grave human rights abuses in abu ghraib in iraq and afghanistan it will surely and definitely be on the invitation list but i think that the consensus of british people is that our government as a democracy should not be dealing with a shit we should not be going out of our way to embrace them and welcome them because we stand or we attempt to stand for human rights and democracy and

therefore collusion with tyrannical regimes is completely against those principles britain and the united states have long historic ties with bahrain of course the united states has its fleet naval fleet base there part of course oil you know this is all i'm afraid all about money and profit made for you and i think time and time again we've seen sadly western governments that trumpet their support for human rights often put them in second place when it comes to lucrative oil and arms deals . turning now to some other stories making headlines across the globe a suicide bomb at a police station in turkey has killed one policeman and injured sixteen others two attackers tried to ram their vehicle into the building leading to a gun battle with guards the bomb was detonated shortly after unclear who's responsible for the attack but blame is being placed on a kurdish separatist group. president francois hollande says the mission of french

marine fighter squadron one twenty two has switched its name from werewolves to crusaders the symbol invoking christian conquest and colonization of muslims during the middle ages has been freshly painted on the squadrons f. eighteen fighter jets. by doing this by making us look like. exactly what we are which is the tenth version of the nine prior to say which began of the year ten ninety six we do three things and they all begin with the letter echo we have a rage our islamic and our allies we embolden our islamic enemies this is the gun and then we could do nothing more that serves as an accelerant or a lubricant for already angry and pissed off young islamic men and women mr weinstein says this is not the first time his foundation has to fight to remove crusaders symbols used by u.s. military but it's not just symbols the idea that the u.s. is fighting

a war against islam has infiltrated american military training the most recent incident involved a corps teaching senior officers at the joint forces staff college that quote the u.s. is at war with islam and we ought to just recognize that we're at war with islam end of quote in response to a public backlash over the leaked information the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff general martin dempsey ordered to probe into anti islamic training materials mikey weinstein told us about a separate incident of the same kind we have the absolute eyewitness testimony where it's very very clear that the statement made is we have to kill it is law and this is to the cadets at the air force academy where every american citizen to put up to go to get us through or the air force academy annapolis or west point cost four hundred thousand dollars and this is what they're being told this fundamentalist christian crusader. or seem was axed and not only the air force academy at all over the you know the united states air force but it was. just as.

the marine corps navy and army in this video game christians are killing muslims a few years back it was a wildly popular game among american troops clear choice to recruit others in order to fight the enemy of nonbelievers after killing the opposition will essentially be viewed mikey weinstein says their organization helped stop the game from being delivered to u.s. troops serving the broad gotta stop how it's getting into the care packages and being being shipped over all of our troops i guess along with toothbrushes and you know packets of peanuts there's a perception among many muslims that the u.s. is on a crusade in the islamic world but some argue it's more based on the idea of transforming the region rather than imposing the religion on them to regional sin of this entire enterprise which was the carter doctrine really positive. through the use of american hard power we were going to be able to shape and determine the destiny

of a very large part of the world when are we going to acknowledge that we are not going to be able to determine the fate of one point four billion muslims we don't have the wisdom we don't have the will we don't have the wallet what do you hear in the speeches by u.s. officials is usually something along these lines we're waging wars in muslim countries to fight terror bring about democracy peace and so on we'll never hear the words say but what kind of message does it send when their own rules call themselves the satan and could say to locals on their warplane i'm going to check our reporting for loss of heart. ok he joins us now with the latest from the business world keeping us up to date there so it's a mixed bag today it is very much really is what i'm going to do is i'm going to kick start with a year and then we're trading higher around in the session but right now they are

and i happen. ferry. mining and telecommunication companies a foreleg now that this is because of comments by the italian prime minister druggy and he said that european union leaders support joint goals for the euro area so that's something investors are really digesting out the my mrs you can see my house is that is dated may see the fruits of that around a third of a percent down on the side just nine basis points in positive territory let's have a look at all those sentiments feeding it to the common currency and then this hour with the exchange rates for you nothing here is trading high this i would put it one twenty five six azusa been speculation that the european central bank could make moves to provide the help to the struggling year as it is the loss of new sentiments keeping investors founded all that but also the ruble as well those losing against the u.s. dollar figure i guess i'm moving into the russian markets down we'll see how that will make a mistake in the lead from europe or it is another mixed color palette on the

screen just for prices are really helping out the russian mob his today of course it's friday afternoon here most as well as the trading does typically sense the role the play on the ground so let's have a look at the stocks and see how they're trading with us but bank as well know that they also is down nearly half a percent in negative territory this on the has been us news about them buying a turkish bank dennys a bank as well apparently they do it could be go up to three and a halt billion dollars we've also got energy majors as well that postings make space here again is the word for this hour i think my odds and of news do with the rough stuff brushes it gets probably could change one of its partners in the company's most promising offshore projects come as a daily newspaper says it's considering abandoning its partnership with stats all in developing the gas rich stock but to fill in the barents sea. is in conflict with the norwegian overworking schemes and reportedly wants to replace it with adult shell. and stag. with energy the full russian prime

deputy prime minister should i say he was also in charge of the energy sector eagle said jim he's now become a c.e.o. of ross now and chris weaver from choice so i look he tells us what that means for the state oil company have and. that has led to the speculation that this must mean that the states now intends to be like consolidate the sector make it bigger this is something that was talked about over the last decade of russia for example one point was talking about creating something similar to saudis around closer to one big company controlled by the states and for the other major energy that's it's so there's a lot of speculation right now there's no hard but i think we can certainly say that with the appointment of mr section it is more likely that we will see ross there acquiring other assets becoming bigger becoming a bigger player. as to how those oil prices them for this see how that trade a. surprise that they've. taking advantage of thought about how much

money. in the brand one hundred seven just not just. nigeria is would you say is reportedly losing the u.s. other biggest oil and that's because u.s. stockpiles all climbing some more that in the next hour that's all i've got time for a job in about fifteen minutes all right kelly thanks very much for that business update or remember the latest edition of our moscow a program coming your way in a few minutes but first to update you with our lives stay with us here on r.t. .
