you could see how the movement has evolved over the last three months or so it actually in february when it started those are just the students of kid back versus the government ok back and those were generally very peaceful gatherings but the police feedback has been overwhelmingly oppressive and if that wasn't enough the government passed this antipolo test a lot which is then ok putting out the protest actually fanned the flames of the movement making it so much bigger than just the student uprising. the canadian association of university teachers was among those to condemn the law describing it as a terrible act to the mass repression to suppress dissent canadian journalist says and you will do nothing but inspire further unrest. below seventy eight which is a look that's it's tall and its goal is to con everything down it was established

by the provincial government. 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 of this new law are infringing on the freedom to protest peacefully so people are in fact even to retaliate even stronger we really don't know what's going to happen really until the until the government since down with the student organization since down to talk. well kind of the southern neighbor of the united states also witnessed on the rest of its own this week at a nato summit in chicago then national leaders met to discuss the future as riot police beat back thousands of protesters just a few hundred meters away a correspondent on society check and it was that. chicago under siege. the last couple of days have seen oceans of protesters

a devastating tragedy and number of people confirmed killed were children there is no way to say it simply doesn't exist this crisis now is just becoming increasingly militarized and having this devastatingly high death toll and say we actually spoke to the deputy foreign minister in syria he's in moscow just the other day i'll tell him where the final responsibility lies what's happening in the country right now the ball is not the call to. the syrian people. out of those who do not want to see peace and stability and security. particularly those who are calling declaring every now and then for arming the. smuggling of. rebuilding the country you see the rhetoric right from the beginning of again the u.n.

monitors being there has been now before the plans even reach this three month deadline that it's a failure well ok but it's one thing to say terminology what is what's the alternative you know you're constantly giving these problems without any other solution is only going to later further violence anything in some of the western countries again continuing right through this peace plan calling for the arming of the opposition we know the answer traveling into the country and all of this is undermining massively the u.n. attends to implement a cease fire which is so important that you know that they're able to continue that work and get that done and i think it's very important. you know politics aside in this the human cost of this conflict is devastating and if the u.n. mission felt that it was going to get into haifa a syrian on infinite is. the security council guaranteeing civilian protection that is not going to even attempt to abide by this cease fire to now. and in fact you

can see the full interview with the syrian deputy foreign minister. about fifteen minutes time. the fallout from the conflict in syria is being felt in neighboring lebanon the street violence has been shaking the capital beirut for a second week running the rest started fighting disputes between sunni opponents of president assad's regime and its other white supporters what is more for national spoke to locals who fear the beginnings of a new civil war i and other night 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 just where i am right about here but we're 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 coalition 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 aren't only down to the crisis in syria local 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 were many unresolved issues after the one nine hundred seventy five nine hundred ninety seven war like religious division and the authorities didn't sort it and now they're discovering it again they kept this 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 and the bad news is the resplendent of power in the cag. the

recent history of warfare hand make sure that and means the political and religious refits are even more dangerous there were more thought of our liberal no there are so many factions now sunni shia salafi what's really bad everybody has weapons not only has belarus they may think but everybody in every house and they use them about the shia and sunni neighborhoods exist side by side in central beirut and in recent years it's been a stable peaceful arrangement but the syria effect means fear has now grief 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. so what's happening in the region at the moment my sisters but then use it against violence in lebanon to some of the people had to leave for the world to five feet but it's still happening and how mothers seventy

he remembers all the major conflicts more than lebanon has gone through and has a chilling forecast about the latest trouble her you are what i see no 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 witness yet another conflict in my life. but it seems a worse case scenario could be gettin 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 civil war. marry for nationality beirut lebanon. the middle east blogger col shero predicts a future of chaos for lebanon if authorities don't take measures to address the situation. primarily the balance of military power in lebanon is nowhere near equal at the moment to what we've been witnessing actually are clashes there

between members of the sunni community and ilo a community in the north or between members of the sunni community that are pro and or pose to the syrian regime in beirut what we are likely to see is this sort of simmering tension with frequent explosions that would kind of slowly drag the country into a state of chaos as again political leaders stand completely helpless about doing anything to stop this dynamic or spiraling towards conflict. most of the come on the program doubts over whether london is ready to host the olympics and some of the city's transit system will buckle under the bus of number of visitors traveling to the games. early election results mean egypt will see a muslim brotherhood candidate in a runoff against an ex prime minister than barack era it comes amid numerous complaints of budget violations in the country's first presidential election since the uprising but as artie's honestly are found out 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. because he has become the. candidate of the revolution should 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 egypt away from democracy into hardline islamic rule already the brotherhood controls more than half the seats in the new egyptian parliament and their appeal 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 the real thing that this is all is just no one john the elections they wanted to free them now with years and monthly massacre that takes place for them even though those who don't even have the right to be listened in the big square how can the release of the east and the last but of which are fixed wrong 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 he went to vote but for that the fear revolutionaries weren't able to field a single compelling candidate in the country's first post presidential elections. but many egyptians expected the mummies to be replaced by moderates like i'm almost the sick list of vice a former member of mubarak's regime and up till now. name

a bush or two former 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 from a far less an area that dr hassan a far believes would have unthinkable consequences i mean the thing. very very. bloodshed and i think that is very much yes it's very likely egyptians will vote in any islamist 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 different protests what is the art scene cairo. a former israeli ambassador to egypt it's been and believes and is in this lead that would drive the country deeper into crisis. we have still a lot of time we're in two and a half weeks until the second round we might see offers counteroffers deals statements declare asians whatever the basic line is. of this talk. to women if it's going to. do on who was the prime minister the during a time. i think that he will litigated more for the domestic affairs and in the midst of problems because there are huge deal with the muslim brotherhood is going to join forces with hamas in gaza and definitely he will support publicly overtly.

the palestinian issue and this might put israel and egypt on a track of pleasant statements between the two capitals. greek public sentiment has once again split pro and anti austerity 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 or turn around to flirting with catastrophe whatever's artie's appeared on 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. your 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 bank says the situation in greece is extremely

worrying but isn't predicting the demise of the single currency should the greeks quit the euro the 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 puts on 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 begin to start ok it's a very nice solution for us the author of a debt for so far it's easier to pull out of the euro portugal ireland and also spain and italy in fact hero 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 so called carex 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 are rapidly looking like a referendum on the euro in everything but name france's socialist president speaking after the informal 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 seventeenth you so as the future of greece in the eurozone enters what could be its final act toppy you 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 be by those who want to promote speculative scenarios let's wait at the wheel of the greek people but it's wait and see time with deep resistance in greece towards austerity there's no clear outcome in sight for this crisis peter all of that. but there's more few on our website r.t. dot com including rallies for schools in texas to track the students every move by getting them to carry microchip id cards. and more from the russian grannies who know her and missed out on your vision of victory last night as hundred twenty five million people watch sweden take the top prize. traces of high level enrich uranium found at a site in iran where due to a technical error according to tehran's envoy to the un's nuclear watchdog experts

say the particles discovered by international spectators at an underground facility are still far from what's needed to create a nuclear device and they say tehran's version is noticeable however the revelation plays into the hands of those convinced that iran is seeking nuclear weapons this week's two day summit in baghdad to fail to put the nuclear issue to bed tehran 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 tell you wideness c.e.o. of country risk solutions these both sides are far from reaching a compromise. i look at. the west as sort of like mars vs venus they want completely different things even if the west was inclined to be 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. in richmond 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. moving on the london is on the homestretch for the olympics but they could be one insurmountable final hurdle for if it's so fair the country's transport system won't be able to handle the huge number of spectators that season over bennett's reports. welcome to britain where you'll be greeted by queues longer than many flights to get here the maximum wait for passport checks at london's heathrow airport should be forty five minutes but

stations like this one and advising them to walk to work during the olympics because it'll be quicker than taking a team the advertising may be light hearted but walking to work is no laughing matter for most commuters especially when that's what over six billion pounds of investment gets you don't hide the fact that the network is going to be busy and that's why we give you a sensible guidance and advice so i can avoid it and the brakes are on the buses to this london icon may not be seen at all this summer drivers are threatening to strike because they're london's only transport workers not in line for a limb pick bonus pay without them it'll leave another six million. passengers to squeeze on to the chub if london's buses do come to a standstill because of strike action our members will be forced into this city will be gridlocked nothing will move people will get to that guy the athletes the
