two pm in moscow i matter as a good to have you with us here as well here on our team as we bring you were a few of the week's top stories a new quebec law seen as a government attempt to finally end ongoing student protests has renewed fury among canadians this week the bill for means any large protest peaceful or otherwise without prior police approval but far from stopping demonstrations clashes are intensifying with thousands more joining in to demand that the act be repealed artie's gynae chickie on reports from montreal. it's hard to gauge exactly how many people there are on the streets of montreal but those are thousands of people closer to the pub banging on their part and ten expressing anger over what they see as her cunny and measures undertaken by the government to suppress people's right to freedom of assembly and freedom of expression the government of a good because adopted a new law just last week which makes it illegal to assemble without authorities permission and requires the precise roadmap of any more chore demonstration planned

. the use of the could they came up with the rate this response to that requirement and as you can see that is the map of montreal such offensive response is also provoked by the police action against the protesters last week a day after the law was passed they rounded up and arrested over seven hundred people in just one day it was by all accounts that we heard a very peaceful protest but it was huge according to various reports the number of people marching on the streets of montreal reached a portrait of a million at some point even many of those who didn't care about to wish an hikes and complained about traffic even though they joined the ranks the protesters you see people from all age groups out there forty year old older people all kinds of people almost everyone who witnessed these massive protests say the canadian media are downplaying widespread is that into police brutality because they say the media

are controlled by the government and by those who support the government. 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 came 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 clearing out the protest actually then the flames of the movement making it so much bigger than just the student uprising. canadian association of university teachers was among those condemning the law describing it as an terrible act of mass repression to suppress dissent canadian journalist michel boyer says the law will do nothing but inspire more on the rest bill was seventy eight which is what that's it's all and its goal is to calm 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 of this new law are and fringing on the freedom to protest peacefully so people are in fact even retaliate even stronger we really don't know what's going to happen really until the until the government sits down with the student organization since down to talk kind of a southern neighbor the u.s. also saw an arrest of its own this week at a nato summit in chicago their national leaders met to discuss the military alliances future as riot police beat back thousands of protesters just a few hundred meters away or he's anastasio turkey to reports. that. chicago under siege q three the last couple of days have seen oceans of protesters

thousands marching under a blistering sun to vent their anger at the military alliance wants to know if. this rally fronted by iraq and afghan war vets who feeling betrayed by the system throwing their medals. out after a minute of silence for those who perished in the u.s. led war is. all hell breaks loose. like chaos but tons of people shoved and dragged police thrown onto their knees bleeding faces right here one officer stabbed dozens of protesters arrested someday these men made consider 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 tons that they willingly

deploying 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. we do over 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 stacie churkin r.t. chicago. you're watching our roundup of the week's top stories on our t.v. still ahead here the world economy wobbles on its axis as an economist or a catastrophe if greece exits the euro zone as pro and anti austerity factions make their case for the greek people. to iran's top nuclear official defends the

discovery in you or in iran of enriched uranium levels to worrying heights insisting that the situation came about due to a technical glitch more details still to come. first and he regime rebels in syria say that the peace plan is dead they're calling for attacks against president assad the president assad's forces are now asking the u.n. security council to logic. airstrikes this follows the shelling of the western town of houla allegedly by government troops where un observers can work confirm that more than ninety people were killed syrian officials blame the attack on the regional and western backed forces aiming to discredit the regime this week a un report accused both the regime and the rebels of gross human rights violations a free syrian army refusing to abide by the peace plan unless the u.n. security council can ensure civilian safety france has called for an urgent meeting of the friends of syria group aiming to aims to remove president assad and is said to be fighting the opposition party sarah ferguson has been covering events in

syria says politics has to go to the back burner when people are losing their lives every day this is just devastating tragedy number of people confirmed killed with children there is no ceasefire so they see it simply doesn't exist this crisis that 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 most cages the other day i often where the final responsibility lies what's happening in the country right now the ball is not the syrian government or the syrian people it is two of those who do not want to see peace and stability and security in serbia but particularly those who are cooling and declaring every now and then for arming the groups for. smuggling of arms and weapons into this should be in total from. country to see the rhetoric right from

the beginning of the u.n. monitors being that has been now before the plans even reached it's three months. that it's a failure well ok but it's one thing to say is terminologies but what is what's the alternative you know constantly giving these problems without any other solution is only going to lead to further violence and you see some of the western countries again continuing life through this please. cooling fire at the arming of the opposition we know the arms of traveling into the country all of this is undermining massively the un it tends 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 it's devastating and if the u.n. mission is going to get even. in front of the. security council guaranteeing civilian protection that it's not going to even attempt to abide by this this is

funny to know. and you can see the full interview with syria's deputy foreign minister in about twenty minutes here on r.t. . the fallout from the conflict in syria being felt in laboring lebannon street violence has been shaking the capital beirut for a second week running the iraq started after disputes between sunni opponents of the assad regime and its alawite supporters are very few notion i spoke to locals who 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 focal 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 nine hundred seventy five nine hundred ninety seven war like religious division and the authorities didn't sort it out and now they're discovering it again and 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 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 dished out of there are so many factions now sunni shia. what's really bad everybody has weapons not only has belarus 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 syria in fact means he has no greeks them feel very turned to a deadly bloody past which residents here desperately hope to avoid but doing it is nothing that is nothing to do with politics so what's happening in their region at the moment my sister's birthday musical against violence in lebanon this summer that people have to leave because the would be a whole lot of pain but this is still happening and how mothers seventy two

remembers all the major conflicts more than lebanon has gone through as a chilling full cost of all the latest trouble shooter you back what i see no reminds me of the ninety two in two thousand and six israeli wars and the one nine 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 to consider meaning new roads many fear this road may lead the country to civil war. not see beirut lebanon will stay with us here on r t still to come lessons in the hate footage from live from your bills right wing nationalist dressed in nazi uniforms using machine guns as a visual aids and teaching young children. but first early election results mean egypt will see a muslim brotherhood candidate in

a runoff against a former prime minister from the mubarak era this comes amid numerous complaints of ballot violations in the country's first presidential election since the uprising but as artie's policy reports regardless of the outcome many egyptians see the future as 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 as fick 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 has become the. become did 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 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 it is just no one chances for elections they wanted to free them now years and monthly massacre that takes place when people go there who don't even have the right to be listened in the big square how can the reason why we stand here 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 that affair revolutionaries would able to field a single compelling candidate in the country's first post more presidential elections . not change quickly.

among. some of the. incident is. but many egyptians expected the monies to be replaced by moderates like i'm almost certain the sick list of vice a former member of mubarak's regime and abdul morning. a bush a tool a liberal form of 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 a scenario that dr hassan a far believes would have unthinkable consequences i really think has to be excluded and then they thought would be very very right and there would be on the bloodshed and i think the thing is very much aware of this it's very likely egyptians will vote in every slightest 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 in 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 r t cairo former israeli ambassador to egypt levanon believes in islam as leader would drag the country deeper into crisis. we have still a lot of time in two and a half weeks until the second round we might see offers counteroffers deals statements the collaboration's whatever the basic line is that who of these two contenders is going to win if it's going to. be the one who became the prime minister the during that time. i think that he will be dedicated more for the

domestic affairs and the domestic problems because there are huge there will be the muslim brotherhood is going to join forces with hamas in gaza and the finitely he will support publicly overtly. the palestinian issue and this might put israel and egypt on a track of that and pleasant statements between two capitals greek public sentiment once again split with pro and anti austerity factions neck and neck ahead of next month's parliamentary vote it seems party supporting further cuts are gaining ground they say that threats to abandon austerity are tantamount to flirting with catastrophe but artie'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. 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 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 a question of moral hazard for example if you overdo it you pull out of the euro zone and every problem is solved nowhere then the others will 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 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 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 which of greece's will so that the greek voters can be confident just what support will come after june the seventeenth. so is the future of greece in the eurozone

and is what could be its final act top e.u. think is 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 those films be 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 of the. remember you can always find more on our website r t v dot com including plans for schools in texas to track their students every move by having them carry microchip identity cards. and more from the russian grannies who placed second in the euro vision two thousand and twelve last night as one hundred twenty five million people watched sweden claim the top prize. traces of high level enriched uranium found at

a site in iran were due to a technical error according to tehran's envoy to the u.n. nuclear watchdog experts say the particles discovered by international inspectors at an underground facility are still far from what's needed to create a nuclear device analysts say tehran's version is plausible but the revelation plays into the hands of those convinced that iran is seeking to build nuclear weapons this week the two day summit in baghdad failed 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 a little in return daniel wagner c.e.o. of country risk solutions thinks both 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 a history lesson at a kindergarten in latvia soon turned into a nazi wartime weaponry displayed by two right wing nationalist while the young audience was oblivious to the situation the action certainly caused outrage among parents as artie's alexei reports. this was described as a lesson of patch or it isn't in a kindergarten in riga. was. in fact the man who

wore the uniform of lot of us as sas legion which fought on the nazi german side in the second world war one of the outfits even boasts the notorious thunder like symbol moreover they let the three year olds play with real nazi weapons this is a grinning police ring and lying just like a party popper during christmas despite nazi symbols being outlawed in law to be along with soviet emblems no legal consequences have followed so far the owner of this kindergarden who is also a right wing nationalist party member sees nothing wrong. about the mosque history and no way to tell our children who the legionnaires were cia in this kindergarten and i will decide how will teach our children our we will make them proud of their country and its warning it won't get it but the incident has sent shock waves across the land this woman asked us to hide her face peering nationalists could abuse her after the interview she says her family will now have to consider

a four year old daughter's future education little teen with normal it's unthinkable things like that must never happen close to children and i'm strongly against it i'm scared if things like that become frequent i'll have to take my daughter from the kindergarten and keep her own. the head of a lot of his anti nazi movement says the incident is not a one off such lessons he claims occur on a regular basis in schools nash and why'd. they usually happen on sixteenth of march known as the country's legion day when former assets fighters marched the streets of riga along with right wing politicians and human support is similar gatherings happen am usually in another baltic state with a difficult history a stone. parliament. i remember speaking at the european parliament trying to convince deputies not love is a nazi free country and now i have to admit to a great shame that due to the actions of some movement naziism girl stronger here

would be the youth don't understand the horrors of naziism and easily fall into this propaganda. since gaining independence the baltic states have been vocally critical of the soviet period of their history calling it an occupation those who fought against the u.s.s.r. are called freedom fighters by some here even despite the fact they were allied with a genocidal nazi regime the most murderous in history what concerns many here now is that such lessons of them in the long run will not teach history but simply breed a future generation of neo nazis in the heart of free europe this latest incident has once again shown how divided the lobby in society is about its past and while the people here are still trying to determine whether these men were right or wrong many still agree that bringing real weapons to go three year old was a major offense at least from a moral point of view. reporting from rita in la.
