global financial headlines cons a report on. syria denies opposition ikea's ations it was behind friday's massacre that killed scores of civilians as some analysts point to this is because the timing of the atrocity. conflict in syria increasingly spilling into neighboring lebanon fueling fears of another civil conflict in the region. ten thousand canadians march against jewish and hikes and the new law to curb demonstrations despite previous protests and even clashes and mass arrests.

five pm in moscow i met treasure bring you today's top stories and a look back at the week's news the syrian government strongly denies being behind an attack on a string of villages friday where u.n. observers found more than ninety people killed damascus rebuff the accusations from the opposition and some foreign leaders saying there is no evidence confirming its troops involvement it blames and he regime gunman for the massacre but there's no way to independently verify any of the claims syria's rebels meanwhile say the u.n. peace plan is dead and are calling on foreign partners to launch airstrikes against president assad france has already called for an urgent meeting of the friends of syria group aiming to remove the syrian leader and is funding the opposition political analyst abraham allusion finds the timing of the recent spike of bloodshed suspicious. some of the families killed were known for their loyalty to the syrian regime and. so it doesn't make much sense to accuse the syrian army of the government that they have committed these crimes and fox these

crimes have come at a point when a political solution is slate the for the syrian question dunc you think that it's funny that each time an international envoy is about to come into syria or as close to having some kind of resolution and the security council that some of those massacres suddenly among others i think the political timing is always very suspicious it would not make sense for the syrian army to commit these massacres and withdraw and then just let the rebels come and take photos and make documentaries about them. r t sarah ferguson returned from syria and explains what she witnessed firsthand in the complex development. it's just absolutely devastating tragedy number of people confirmed killed with children there is no way

to see it simply doesn't exist this crisis that is just becoming increasingly militarized and having this devastatingly high death toll and so 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 syrian people it is two of those who do not want to see peace and stability and security. particularly those who are calling and declaring every now and then for arming the. smuggling go. into this. from neighboring countries you see the rhetoric right from the beginning of 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 constantly giving these problems without any other solution is only going to lead to further violence and you see in some of the western countries again continuing right through this peace plan calling for the arming of the opposition we know the arms of charging 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 that is going to get into high free syrian army from it is already. the security council guaranteeing civilian protection that is not going to even attempt to abide by this this is five to one out there. who bring you more from syria's deputy foreign minister on his. entries crisis later next hour on r.t. . the heat from the syrian conflict increasingly being felt in neighboring lebanon

with street violence for a second week in a row the trouble erupted between sunni opponents of president assad's regime and its alawite supporters artie's marie if in oceano spoke to locals who fear the religious clashes could spill into another bloody conflict. an overnight of street protests in beirut i 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 this is at least what i see in the last day of. 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 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 it's not he does there were many unresolved issues after the 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 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 of it 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 refits i remain more dangerous bowler more the start of our libyan or

not there are so many factions now sunni or shia salafi what's really bad everybody has weapons not only hezbollah they may think but everybody in every house and they use them or 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 here has now greeks them feel very turned to deadly bloody past which residents here desperately hope to avoid but doing it is nothing that there's nothing to do. so what's happening in their meeting at the moment my sister's birthday musical against violence in lebanon some of the people have to be put there would be a whole lot of pain but this 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 about the latest trouble sure there are you back what i see no

reminds me of the nineteen eighty 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 witness 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 the deep meaning new roads many fear this road may lead the country to civil war. beirut lebanon later the sorry report from another country in the region that's on the road to change but couldn't egypt's presidential runoff be the choice between a rock and a hard place with worries over both leading his list and former regime candidates. is we chicago became not just a stage for nato's biggest ever summit but also for the biggest protests the city had seen in years thousands rallied against the blocks what they called the blocs

costly and deadly wars many calling for nato dissolution parties anastasio churkin a witness how the protest now with some heavy handed policing. ah she called them under siege. 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 the rebels seem to know because. this rally fronted by iraq an afghan war vets 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. one officer stabbed dozens of protesters arrested someday these men may 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 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. we do for 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 doing right. to the north and canada the country witnessed a surge in its own arrest this week as protests over college fees game despite emergency laws to curb the rallies and thousands of arrests over the past three months huge numbers turned out again saturday night in quebec or he's got a cheeky young has more. it's hard to gauge exactly how many people there are on the streets of montreal but those are thousands of people closer to people begging on their part five and ten expressing anger over what they see as her crony 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 require the precise roadmap of any more chore demonstration planned the only you could they came up with the risk 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 up quarter 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 of 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 in the 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 past this. hypotenuse a lot which is no tour yeah the protest actually fans the flames of the movement they get so much bigger than just the student uprising. the focus of the quebec protests is widening beyond jewish infused to include the new law supposed to curtail the rallies but it's only hardening students resolve canadian journalist michel boyer is covering the rallies he says the authorities only option now is direct talks. bill with seventy eight which is with that's its fault 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 and cringing 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 sits down with the student organization since down to talk . coming up later this hour a trigger for attention traces of higher enrich uranium discovered here facility in iran sparking more claims that iran's atomic program has military motives the latest still to come. as europe keeps its powder dry in case greece gives up its upcoming election could be its final say on putting for being in the euro zone about his own itself already readying for its first farewell. but before we get to that egypt's early election results point to a runoff between

a muslim brotherhood candidate and a former prime minister of the mubarak era the country's a strike first presidential election since the uprising saw a low turnout and numerous complaints of ballot violations as artie's policy reports regardless of how it all turns out many egyptians feel their future is bleak. it's a result that stunned many and has the potential to split the country into an islamist candidate to set against a member of the former regime mohamed morsi is the choice of the poll for muslim brotherhood well as much afic was the last prime minister to serve under hosni mubarak egyptians and now have to choose one for the country's top job and no one is happy. as mohammed morsi. because he is the candidate of. the candidate 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 that people still in egypt away

from democracy into hardline islamic rule already the brotherhood controls more than half the seats in the new egyptian parliament and they repealed among poor communities gives them the edge which is why those who took to tell his square last year what we eat i'm sure to the martyrs where life they would think that it is just no one jumped for elections they wanted to free them now using the money mustn't it takes place when people who don't even have the right to be listened in a big square. how can the release of christ and her last but 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 taxpayer revolutionaries would be able to field a single compelling candidate in the country's first post presidential elections.

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 more name to look for 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 mr noir that dr hassan a far believes would have unthinkable consequences. i think. it's very likely egyptians will vote in the end it's not just president mocking one of the most dramatic political turnarounds in history after all it wasn't that long ago that the muslim brotherhood was outlawed and its 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. timeline of the turmoil also available at r.t. dot com along with many other stories for you including this some texas schools tracking its kids every step forcing them to carry microchip id cards in lots of. hundred twenty five million viewers six russian ground was one mass of the euro vision song contest but the bob which goes into second check it out on.

that's exactly what iran wants in the west and 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 fine. turn it of 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 we'd like to hear what chance you think there is for a deal between iran and the west go online right now and cast your votes at our team so far how it looks almost half think it doesn't matter if the talks succeed or fail it won't prevent a strike on iran nearly a third think a deal is not possible because iran's concessions will never satisfy the west

prepare for a greek exit or keep your all for reports. should they stay well should they go germany's angela merkel is adamant if you mind is that some might but 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 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 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 europe or to go ireland i did here 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
