you don't know i'm tom parker welcomes a big. syria denies opposition to accusations that was behind friday's massacre that killed scores of civilians some analysts point this is bush's timing of the atrocity. the conflict from syria increasingly spilling into neighboring lebanon fueling fears of another civil conflict in the region plus. ten thousand canadians march against jewish in the heights and the new law to curb demonstrations despite previous protests and even clashes and mass arrests. seven pm in moscow i match reza good to have us with us as we bring you today's top
11:01 am
story and a look back at the week's news syria's government strongly denying being behind an attack on a string of villages friday where un observers confirmed more than ninety people were killed damascus rebuffed accusations from the opposition and some foreign leaders saying there was no evidence to confirm its troops involvement it blames and he regime gunman for the massacre but there's no way so far to independently verify any of the claims. syrian rebels meanwhile say the u.n. peace plan is dead and are calling on foreign partners to launch airstrikes against the assad regime france has already called for an urgent meeting of the friends of syria group which aims to remove the syrian leader and is funding the opposition political analysts even as the circumstances of the recent spike and bloodshed were suspicious. some of the families were known. though the syrian regime. so it doesn't make much sense to. accuse the
11:02 am
syrian army that they have committed these crimes and fuck these crimes have come at a point when a political solution is slate the for the syrian question each time and third national envoy is about to come into syria or as close to having some kind of resolution and the security council some of those massacre's 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 human thirty's about them. r.t. sara furthur recently returned from syria and explains what she witnessed firsthand in the conflicts development. there is no ceasefire so i see it simply doesn't exist this crisis now is just becoming increasingly militarized and having this
11:03 am
devastatingly high death toll and so we actually spoke to the deputy foreign minister in syria he's in moscow just yesterday i'll tell him where the final responsibility lies on what's happening in the country right now is not the call to the syrian government or the syrian people it is 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 of arms and. 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 it's terminologies but what is what's the alternative you know constantly giving these problems without any other
11:04 am
solution is only going to lead to further violence and you seeing some of the western countries again continuing right through this peace plan calling for the arming of the opposition we know the arms of travelling into the country all of this is undermining massively the u.n. attempts 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 that is already. the security council guaranteeing civilian protection that is not going to even attempt to abide by this this is five to one. more coming your way from syria's deputy foreign minister on his country's crisis in the next hour here on our team. the heat from the conflict in syria being increasingly felt neighboring lebanon with street violence for of a second week in a row trouble erupted between sunni opponents of president assad's regime and its
11:05 am
alawite supporters artie's marie if you know she has more. 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 collison 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
11:06 am
a large flow of refugees and there's a lot of instability all around us. some though believe the problems in lebanon and told me 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's no she doesn't 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 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 refits i remain more dangerous bowler more the start of our libyan or no 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 use them
11:07 am
for about a shia. sunni neighborhoods exist side by side in central beirut and in recent years it's been a stable peaceful arrangement but a 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 what it takes so what's happening in the region at the moment my sisters but then you say good against violence and loving this some of the feed her people have to leave but that would be political 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 chilean full cost about the latest trouble sure there are you back what i see no reminds me of the nine hundred 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
11:08 am
. 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 plate of a sorry report from another country in the region that's on the road to change but could egypt's presidential runoff be the choice between a rock and a hard place with worries over both the leading islam most and former regime candidates. but first this week 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 what they see as the blocs costly and deadly wars many calling for nato to be dissolved. has more. but. the chicago under siege. the last couple of days have seen oceans of
11:09 am
protesters thousands marching under a blistering sun to vent their anger at the military alliance who are opposed to no because of the war machine. this rally fronted by iraq an afghan war vets who are feeling betrayed by the system rolled away their medals i am after a minute of silence for those who perished in the u.s. led wars. all hell breaks loose. chaos but tons of people shoved and dragged police thrown onto their knees bleeding faces. one officer stabbed dozens of protesters arrested. 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
11:10 am
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. with 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 a summit on the future of warfare abroad and stacy churkin r.t.e. chicago illinois to the north in canada the country witnessed a surge in its own arrest this week as protests over college fees gain momentum there despite their merge and see a lot of curve the rallies and thousands of arrests over the last three months huge
11:11 am
numbers turned out again saturday night in quebec artie's guy and chick young was there. 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 banging on their parts and ten expressing anger over what they see as her crony and measures undertaken by the government to suppress people's rights 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 use they came up with the race 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've heard of very peaceful
11:12 am
protests but it was huge according to there is 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
11:13 am
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 focus of the quebec protests is widening beyond tuition fees to include the new law supposed to curtail the rallies but it's only hardening the students resolve canadian journalist michelle boyer is covering the rallies and says the authorities only option now is direct talks bill with seventy eight which is with that's its salt and its goal is to conduct everything down it was established by the provincial government but each 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
11:14 am
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 a nuclear facility in iran sparking more claims that terrans atomic program is military motives the latest still to come. and europe needs its powder dry in case greece gives up its upcoming election its final say on quitting or to cutting but the eurozone is already preparing 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 storage first presidential election since the uprising saw a low turnout and numerous ballots complaints of ballot fraud artie's policy clear reports that regardless of the outcome egypt's future could be bleak. it's
11:15 am
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 they repealed 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
11:16 am
no one chances for elections they wanted to free them now with years and monthly massacre that takes place will even kill 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 a fixed 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 he went to vote but for that the to hear revolutionaries weren't able to field a single compelling candidate in the country's first post mubarak presidential elections . not change quickly. 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 abdomen. bush
11:17 am
a tool 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 it will continue to pull the strings even if from a fall a scenario that dr hassan a fall believes would have unthinkable consequences i mean the three crew has to be executed and then they thought would be very very frightening and they're going to be on the thought of bloodshed and i think that to me is very much aware of this it's very likely egyptians will vote in and it's not just 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 the cynics and 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

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. well tell us what possibility you think there is for a deal between iran and the west log on to r.t. dot com have your say here's the both so far almost half think it doesn't matter if the talks succeed as it would prevent a strike against iran really a third think ideal isn't possible because iran is concessions will never satisfy the west fourteen per cent agree they'll be no agreement because no one will never agree to the west demands and just ten per cent optimistic let's see if we can get that number up but so far they're saying that the five plus one talks in russia may nail the deal ten percent let's see what you think log on to r.t. dot com have your say. some changes at the top in russia's political circles the

they go germany's angela merkel is awesome and if you mind is that my thought 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 puts bill 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
