you could bet the last scene as a government attempt to once and for all end ongoing student protests has renewed fieri among canadians this week off from stopping demonstrations clashes are intensifying with thousands more joining in to demand that we be repealed critics say the bill forbids any knowledge protest peaceful or otherwise about police approval and your association of university teachers describe it all as a terrible act of mass repression to suppress dissent and journalists have used them to station nothing but inspire further honest. bill was seventy eight which is without its faults and its goal is to con everything down it was established by the provincial government but in canada we have a we have a charter and one of the articles in the charter is the right to protest peacefully and people and protesters now are saying is that certain provisions. this new law

are and cringing on the freedom to protest peacefully so people are in fact even retaliate even stronger one of the most extremist groups has publicly said that it is completely going to defund i this new bill is going to go against it it's going to continue protesting so it's going to be quite an interesting scene of events here we really don't know what's going to happen really until the until the government sits down with the student organization so it's down to talk a carrot is itself a neighbor the u.s. also witnessed on the rest of its own this week and they took a summit in chicago then national leaders met to discuss the minute to iran says future this riot police beat back thousands of protesters just a few hundred meters away a correspondent has to say a target it was that. but. chicago under siege to greet the last couple of days have seen oceans of protesters

thousands marching under a blistering sun to vent their anger at the military alliance horribles to know because the regime. was this rally fronted by iraq an afghan war vets with feeling betrayed by the system rolled away their medals. after a minute of silence for those who perished in the west led wars. all hell breaks loose. like chaos but tons of people shoved and dragged police thrown onto their knees bleeding faces right. one officer stabbed dozens of protesters arrested someday used these men made peace or this conduct that they engaged in today unbecoming of the dignity that is demanded of them by their station hundreds and hundreds of police not just in riot gear but military armor

with guns and but tongs that they willingly deploy on people. a day earlier a smaller but louder march also took to the streets it's an ad capital. i'm sure everyone here hopes to start a revolution they're calling it the chicago spring like the arab spring. signs ripped off crowds clashed with police but times and police bikes used to block off the crowds with more blood in the chaos. he dove or a million dollars spent on new gear for chicago police a war breaks out with outraged americans fighting for change at home while the u.s. president is busy hosting the summit and the future of warfare abroad and stacy churkin r.t.e. chicago the room. to your activist sarah founda says it's significant that this hostility towards nato right in the heart of the u.s. . the very fact that so many thousands of people and now from all across the country here is just war machine responsible for violence around the world from

drone attacks to. wanting to attack that war in afghanistan libya syria threats from iran and yet they are calling the demonstrators violent they have spent weeks and weeks and weeks saturating the media here while completely inaccurate fabricated stories about how the demonstrators are violent they would not have done that if they did not feel enormously threatened that we're right here in the us there is a denunciation of nato of the war and. we're watching our roundup of today's and the week's top stories here in r.t. still ahead for you on the program well as economy wobbles on its axis needs is an economists one of catastrophe greece these the usa. until stare its actions and make their pitch to the greek people. and tear on top nuclear

official defends the discovery in iran of uranium enriched to worrying levels existing situation to a technical glitch that. now tanks and heavy machine guns have been used to pound the western syrian town of houla where un observers say more than ninety people have been killed by government forces syrian officials say the attack was aimed at stopping terrorists targeting police in the region this week a un report accused both the regime and the rebels of gross human rights violations free syrian army is refusing to abide by the peace plan unless the u.n. security council shows civilian safety france has called for an urgent meeting of the friends of syria group which aims to move present as i said to be funding the opposition and commentator one dollar says that that atrocities in the opposition's part of these any quick change that is now unlikely. significance of the new u.n.

report is that for the first time it's a knowledge that there is on the side of the so-called opposition the rebel groups of the jihadists and so forth al-qaeda and the muslim brotherhood forces that are trying to create regime change so to that extent i think it's a step forward that it's not simply a one sided genocide by the assad regime washington is playing a double game on syria i think they are trying at this point damage control they failed massively in the operation that they had thought they would succeed in about a year ago the momentum of this so-called arab spring has screeched to a halt it's really turned into a sunni versus shia. kind of war throughout the muslim world washington has backed off of the libya style regime change operation in syria it's time to just let the syrian sort out for themselves what they want for a government in their country. syria's deputy foreign minister he says it's up to

the opposition and its foreign support is to make the first steps toward an acting peace plan to see the full interview next hour that he's a pretty. well actually it is the very strong desire and determination of the syrian government from the very beginning to put an end to violence. the wall is not to look or to reassure the government. people it is your thought of those who do not want to see peace understand billet insecurity in serbia particularly those who are calling on declaring every now and then for arming the armed groups for still smuggling of arms and weapons into the serbian term ritual from neighboring countries is.

the fallout from the conflict in syria is being felt in neighboring lebanon street violence has been shaking the capital beirut for a second week running down the rest started following disputes between sunni opponents of president assad's regime and its ana what supporters thought is rare for national spoke to locals here fear the beginnings of a new civil war. i an overnight of street protests in beirut. it was sparked when thirteen lebanese pilgrims were kidnapped in syria apparently by groups linked to the syrian rebels the lebanese capital witnessed what it hadn't seen in years as who i am not about here but are moving to a real war between sunni and shia muslims and this is at least what i see in the last day. the reason the spillover from the chaos in neighboring syria shia muslims here generally support syria's president assad while most sunni's favor the rebels likewise lebanon's ruling calling led by the powerful share

hezbollah is process while the opposition backs the uprising the situation is getting worse obviously in the region and this is having a spillover effect here in lebanon and where we're having to cope with the consequences of that there's also internal tension that's increasing there's a large flow of refugees and there's a lot of instability all around us. some though believe the problems in lebanon and tony down to the crisis in syria. from observers like spanish journalist thomas alcove editor says they are a symptom of a deep divide that's long bubbled under the surface but there's no she does there were many unresolved issues after the one nine hundred seventy five one thousand nine hundred seventy war like religious division and the authorities didn't sort it out and now they're discovering it again they kept the situation of instability for many years and that's a good ground for a new conflict like a spark in a powder keg get out of order and the bad news is the resplendent of power during the cag for the recent history of warfare hand makes sure that and means the

political and religious rifts i remain more dangerous bowler more. there are so many factions now so. what's really bad everybody has weapons not only hezbollah they may think but everybody in every house and they were thought about the shia. sunni neighborhoods exist side by side in central beirut and in recent years it's been a stable peaceful arrangement but the fear in fact means fear has now greet them feel over it turn into a deadly bloody past which residents here desperately hope to avoid but doing it is nothing that has nothing to do with politics or what's happening in their region at the moment my sisters but then use a goal against violence and love and yes some people have to leave but there would be a lot of pain but it is still happening and how mothers seventy he remembers all the major conflicts more than lebanon has gone through and as a chilling full cost of all the latest trouble surely you back what i see you know

reminds me of the nineteen eighty two in two thousand and six israeli wars and the one hundred seventy five civil war and the two thousand and eight political uprising here i didn't think i'd witnessed yet another conflict in my life. but it seems a worse case scenario could be getting more and more likely this neighborhood in beirut where the violence started is known as the ticklish d.-d. meaning new roads many fear this road may lead the country to a civil war. story for national party beirut lebanon. coming up here on r.t. u.s. military training comes into focus some claim america is on a crusade against the islamic world new recruits being torched are in place until you get into. early election results mean egypt will see a muslim brotherhood candidate in a runoff against an ex prime minister the mubarak era it comes amid numerous complaints of ballot violations in the country's first presidential election since

the uprising as a slayer discovered regardless of the outcome egypt's future could be bleak. it's a result that stunned many and has the potential to split the country into an islamist candidate pitted against a member of the former regime mohamed morsi is the choice of the powerful muslim brotherhood well as much afic was the last prime minister to serve under hosni mubarak egyptians and now have to choose one or the other for the country's top job and no one is happy. mohammed morsi. because he is the candidate so we can do that of the revolution which will make sure we get rid of the remnants of the regime and prevent the country from moving backwards but the muslim brotherhood is tainted by the same accusation and critics fear the group will stay in egypt away from democracy into hardline islamic rule already the brotherhood controls more than half the seats in the new egyptian parliament and

there are people among poor communities gives them the edge which is why those who took to tell his square last year are worried i'm sure of the martyrs who are alive they would think that this is all his just no one chances for elections they wanted to free them now years and monthly massacre that takes place when people prove that you don't even have the right to be listened in a big square how can be resupplied we stand here last but of which a fix strong showing also threatens to undo everything mariam and her friends fought for shafiq is deeply hated by many egyptians and was pelted with stones and shoes when going to vote but for that that a fear revolutionaries old able to field a single compelling candidate in the country's first post mubarak presidential elections. to meet. change quickly. among. some of the. subtleties. but many

egyptians expected the monies to be replaced by moderates like i'm almost certain the secular list a vice a former member of mubarak's regime and abdul. name. a look book form a brotherhood member adding to their woes egyptians also fear the military that's been ruling the country for the past fifteen months won't stick to its promise to hand over power and instead will continue to pull the strings even if from a farm mr noir that dr hassan the far believes would have unthinkable consequences i really think has to be executed and it is then they thought would be very very violent and there will be a month of bloodshed and i think the army is very much aware of this it's very likely egyptians will vote in any slams to president marking one of the most dramatic political turnarounds in history after all it wasn't that long ago that the muslim brotherhood was outlawed and it's members imprisoned now it's mubarak in the dock and the brotherhood almost in the presidency but there's been nothing about this election that's been predictable and until

a new constitution is approved it's still not clear what powers the new president will have but whoever wins his hands will be full of problems here run deep and economic and political frustrations are not that far from spilling over into french protests what is the r t cairo. traces of high level enrich uranium found at the site in iran were due to a technical error according to tehran's envoy to the un's nuclear watchdog experts say the particles discovered by international inspectors as an underground facility was too far from what's needed to create a nuclear device and they say terrell owens version is plausible however the revelation plays into the hands of those convinced that iran is seeking nuclear weapons in this week's two day summit and to put the nuclear issue to bed around it rejected a new package proposed by the u.n. security council members and germany saying it makes too many demands while offering little in turn can you imagine a c.e.o. of a country risk solutions and sides are far from reaching

a compromise. you know i look at iran and the west as sort of like mars vs venus they want completely different things even if the west was inclined to ease the sanctions that are proposed for july they can't simply turn off the spigot and that's exactly what iran wants in the west i think what the west and israel are looking for is something which iran is simply not going to give them they're looking for a complete cessation of enrichment they're looking for a reversal of the process that has gone on for more than a decade now i just don't see how this is going to happen fortunately there's plenty of oil in the world markets and those nations that need to find alternative sources of oil are likely to be able to do so and those nations that have become accustomed to working with the iranian central bank will find other ways to do business with iran if that's what they need to do. what is more

a few on our website r.t. dot com including plans for schools in texas to track their students every move by getting them to carry microchip id cards. and more from the russian grannies who dare you missed out on univision victory last night to twenty five million people who want to sweep take the top prize. but the greek public sentiment is once again split with prayer and factions neck and neck ahead of next month's parliamentary elections and it seems parties supporting further cuts are gaining ground they say that threats to abandon austerity are tantamount to flirting with catastrophe whoever is ati's peter all of the reports this time the e.u. isn't leaving anything to chance. should they stay or should they go germany's angela merkel is adamant to feel mine 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 bundesbank 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 would happen if it would 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 the question of moral has a poor example if you overdo it you pull out of the euro zone and every problem is solved 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 europe or to go ireland i did you know and also spain and italy 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 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 than austerity. 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 ourselves be derailed by those who want to promote speculative scenarios let's wait i do will of the greek people but it's a 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. barely. greece's creditors notably the i.m.f. and the e.u. have also made it clear they're not going to lighten austerity bad for greece but james medway of the new economics foundation think tank says that's precisely the wrong move as austerity is only deepening the crisis. if you drive weak

economy europe is collection of weak economies if you drive a weak economy into greater and greater austerity you don't make the economy stronger you make it weakest still you can certainly see the short term impact already i mean if you take the the social impact in greece it's absolute catastrophic even greece used to have one of the lowest suicide rates in europe suicide rates there risen by forty percent over the last year you can see the social impact from one end of the continent to the other but it's the long term economic impact that starts here there are no realistic prospects recovery inside europe certainly inside your as i think is always austerity is in place i suspect what will happen is that you'll start seeing increasing along or a deadlock at the center of europe with no clear agreement to what exactly should be done next. this week saw a prime minister dmitry medvedev appointed as the leader of the united russia party the country's main political force he promised a major overhaul at the top saying he plans to remove people who discredit the party this comes after some significant changes were made in the russian government

as a president you know unveiled his new team of ministers despite some familiar faces we need more than two thirds of the cabinet. commentators against lincoln. who can rise to any political challenge. but from my point to you this is the movies dramatic cabinet reshuffle in the decade and what matters is not only the number of the new faces which is really amazing can you imagine three quarters of a new faces but that qualitative changes that there was an enormous outcry or that all of it presumes a later point of the cabinet and added to the confusion of the story that we didn't didn't go to as you know g. eight summit in every day so what we see today is that really this system often them is isn't working it is quite effective it might be criticized it might be ridiculed by someone but still it is able just to meet all those threats and challenges which are faced by the russian and america's military training has come

under the spotlight of what some say are blatant anti muslim elements they include crusade symbols on some fighter jets of course is teaching new recruits that islam is the enemy what is going to become explains. the u.s. marine fighter squadron one twenty two has switched his name from where walls 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 making us look like. exactly what we are which is the tenth version of the nine prior resave which began in the year ten ninety six we had a rage our islamic and our allies we embolden our islamic enemies the idea that the us is fighting a war against islam has infiltrated american military training the most recent incident involved of course teaching senior officers at the joint forces staff college that quote the us is at war with islam and we are 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 we have the absolute eyewitness testimony where it's very very clear that the statement made is we have to kill islam and this is to the cadets of the air force academy this fundamentalist christian crusader me or seem was extend not only the air force academy at all over the you know the united states air force but it was just as bad in the marine corps navy and army in this video game questions are killing muslims a few years back it was a wildly popular game among american troops poker player tries to recruit others in order to fight the enemy you believe are. killing the opposition will essentially redeem you mikey weinstein says their organization helped stop the game from being

delivered to u.s. troops serving the broad we got it stopped how it was 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 the original sin of this entire enterprise which was the carter doctrine really posited. 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 you'll never hear the words say but what kind of message does it send when they're all means call themselves the sabers and could cross a low blows on their warplanes i'm going to check out reporting from washington r.t. . coming up next hour r.t. doubts over whether london is ready to host the olympics some fear the city's transport system may collapse some of the way to visit is supposed to host the games. recap the week's top stories for you in just a few minutes.
