on r.t.e. syria denies opposition accusations it was behind friday's massacre that killed scores of civilians as analysts point to the suspicious timing of the atrocity. transfer the conflict from syria increasingly spilling into neighboring lebanon fears now of civil conflict in the region. and in the weeks of the stories ten thousand canadians march against jewish and the new law to curb demos despite previous clashes and mass arrests. hello welcome this is r.t.

from moscow you're watching the weekly a roundup of the main news and headlines of the past seven days with me kevin our in and first the syrian government strongly denies being behind an attack on a string of villages on friday where you would observe is confirmed over ninety people have been killed damascus rebuffed the accusations from the opposition and some foreign leaders saying there is no evidence to confirm its troops involvement it blames anti regime gunman for the massacre but there's no way to independently verify any of the claims the syrian rebels meanwhile say the u.n. peace plan is dead and they're calling on foreign partners to launch airstrikes against president assad triumph 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 amnesty of revolution finds the circumstances of the recent spike in bloodshed suspicious probably some of the families go. further. though the syrian regime. so it doesn't make much sense to accuse the.

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 an international envoy is about to come into syria or as close to having some kind of resolution in the security council some of those massacres suddenly amar's 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. first recently returned from syria now explains what she witnessed firsthand in the conflicts development. there is no cease fire so i 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 i'll tell him where the final responsibility lies on what's happening in the country like the boy is not the call to the syrian government the syrian people. those who do not want to see peace and stability and security in syria 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 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 think 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. 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 the human cost of this conflict is devastating and if the u.n. mission that is going to get into haifa from that is already. the security council guaranteeing civilian protection that is not going to even attempt to abide by this society. would remove syria's deputy foreign minister on his country's crisis in about twenty five minutes time here on the program and. meantime the heat from the conflict in syria has been increasingly felder neighboring lebanon two with street violence for the second week in a row trouble erupted between sunni opponents of president assad's regime and its

alawite supporters and it is made for national spoke to locals who fear the religious clashes could now spill into another bloody conflict in the region. 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 is who i am not about here but i'm 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 calling led by the powerful share hezbollah is process while the opposition backs the uprising 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 are from observers like spanish journalist thomas alcove etal says they are a symptom of a deep divide that's long bubbled under the surface but as you know she does there were many unresolved issues after the one nine hundred seventy five one thousand nine hundred seventy war like religious division in the authorities didn't sort it out and now they're discovering it again and 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 in the cag or how the recent history of warfare hand makes sure that and means the political and religious rifts 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 and. sunni neighborhoods exist side by side in central beirut in recent years it's been a stable peaceful arrangement but the syria in fact means fear has now greet them feel very turn into 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 or what's happening in the region at the moment my sisters but then use a toilet against violence in lebanon yes some of the thieves have to leave but there would be a whole lot of it but it is still happening and how much is seventy he remembers all the major conflicts more than lebanon has gone through as a chilling forecast about the latest trouble. 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 witnessed yet another conflict in my life. but it seems a worse case scenario would be getting more and more likely this neighborhood in beirut where the violence started is known as the ticklish d.d. meaning new road many fear this road may lead the country to civil war. mary for nationality beirut lebanon. and later this hour a report from another country in the region that is on the road to change but we asked could egypt's presidential runoff be choice between a rock and a hard place with worries over both the leading islamist and former regime candidates. this last week chicago became not just a stage for nato's biggest ever summer but also for the biggest protests the city's seen in years past thousands rallied against what they see as the blocs costly and deadly wars many calling for nato dissolution a correspondent mr and witnessed how the protests met with some heavy handed

policing. chicago under siege. the last couple of days have seen oceans of protesters thousands marching under a blistering sun to vent their anger at the military alliance rebels to nato because. this rally fronted by iraq an afghan war vets feeling betrayed by the system rolled away their medals than after a minute of silence for those who perished in the u.s. led war is. all hell breaks loose. 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 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. deep earlier a smaller but louder march also took to the streets it's an ad to a 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 stacy churkin r.t.e. chicago doing right. and to the north in canada the country witnessed a surge in its own unrest this week because protests of

a college fees gave momentum despite the emergency law to curb the rallies and thousands of arrests over the past three months huge numbers turned out again on saturday night in quebec he's got a touch of cameras out the latest. 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 pots and pans 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 with part of the precise roadmap of any more chore demonstration planned. the use of 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 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 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 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 passed this and. hypotenuse a lot which is. oh yeah the protest actually fans the flames of the movement they get so much bigger than just the student uprising. and the focus of the quick the protests is wide and beyond tuition fees to include the new law supposed to curtail the rallies has been introduced now but it's only hardening students result as we found out in the wake canadian journalist michelle boy is covering the rallies he says the authorities only option now is direct talks bill was seventy eight which is what that's it's all 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 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. coming up a bit later in the program a trigger for tension traces of higher enrich uranium a discover the city in iran sparking more claims than the two brands atomic program has military motives we investigate. and getting ready in case greece gives up its upcoming election could be the country's final say on quitting all to keep cutting there the options but the eurozone is already preparing for its first. report on. 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 historic first

presidential election so the uprising bringing a low turnout and numerous complaints of ballot violations but as artie's paullus leader reports 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 put it 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 is 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 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 are worried i'm sure of the martyrs where life they would think that this is all it is just no one john the elections they wanted to free them now years in the monthly massacre that takes place when people go there you 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 area revolutionaries would able to field a single compelling candidate in the country's first post mubarak presidential elections. not change quickly.

but many egyptians expected their monies to be replaced by moderates like i'm almost the sick list of vice a former member of mubarak's regime and abdul morning. and look what former brotherhood members are 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 it's an area that dr hassan a far believes would have unthinkable consequences i mean it's very cool has to be excluded and then they thought it would be very very heroic and there will be a little bloodshed and i think the thing is very much aware of this 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 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 r t cairo. the timeline of the term was also available on our web site r t the many of the stories if you get a minute to take a look at texas tracking it school kids every step story reporting online for spin of the car a microchip the id cards in class but in truth you want to take a look just click away. hundred twenty five million viewers six russian grandmas one massive eurovision song contest but the bush kids into second check it out as a clue together navia.

talks this week between a. and the u.n. nuclear watchdog in baghdad failed to produce any breakthrough and instead gave new ground for speculations the run seeking to build a bomb and i reports suggested there were traces of high level enrich the radium with one facility that something to run close was a technical glitch the islamic state added the discovery was blown out of proportion for political reasons and that the report proved the peaceful nature of its nuclear activities iran of the world powers agreed to continue the talks in moscow in mid june the risk advisor done your work and told us there's no very little hope of getting a compromise if things. 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. well tell us what possibility you think there is of a deal between iran and the west there's a vote online right now about to go com thanks for taking part if you have so far this is what you're telling us at the moment is half of you have voted so far think it doesn't matter if we're told succeed because it won't prevent a strike against iran you think nearly

a third of you telling us the deal is not possible because iran's concessions will never satisfy the west as you can see there fourteen percent a grain will be no agreement but because iran will never agree to the west demands and then ten percent this is optimistic saying the five plus one talks forthcoming here in russia have made nailed the deal so pretty in terms of your view online r.t. dot com. there was some changes at the top in russia's political circles in the last week the latest being prime minister dmitry medvedev elected as the leader of the ruling united russia party he vowed to make the group more open and transparent and promised a major overhaul among party chiefs earlier the country's new government was formed as recently no grated president putin unveiled his team of ministers and officials kept. posts about three quarters of the capital to new appointments many from young reformists and market liberals there's been a wave of major anti-government protests in russia's main cities in recent months

as tens of thousands gathered to demand a shake up of the governing elite. brief a nato airstrikes killed a family of eight in afghanistan with six children among the dead officials there say the victims had no connection with the taliban or any other terrorist group civilian casualties are a splintering issue between the afghan leadership and nato whose troops by twenty fourteen. firefighters in china have rescued a sixty year old man who became trapped as you can see here with his car a river is vehicle came off the road well into the river that was heavily swollen from rains forcing the driver to cling on until rescuers arrived he was tied to a rope eventually pulled to safety there we go. what is a bit more thankfully a lucky escape from the no word of a car though. above our heads us thought subodh the international space station of entered the first supply private supply ship as it is two days after a dog that's the whole point of being private it's the first ever commercial cargo

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 the 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 in 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 a sturdy. 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. 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 all those films be derailed by those who want to promote speculative scenarios let's wait i do we'll 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. news round up so far during stay with us for the rest of the evening or part of it anyway in about five minutes will bring your interview with syria's deputy foreign minister is a promise just now he shares his view on the effectiveness of the peace plan of the country's most other issues argued in tears over the weekend sport so the next half hour looks in fact here on our team from moscow.
