i'm sorry welcome to the big. syria denies opposition accusations it was behind friday's massacre that killed scores of civilians as russia points to evidence that most of the dead were executed. this is the conflict from syria increasingly spills into neighboring lebanon to fueling fears now of another civil conflict in the region. over the weeks other stories ten thousand canadians march against jewish and hikes in the new law to curb demos despite previous clashes and mass arrests.

hello there and welcome this is r.t. from moscow you're watching the weekly a roundup of the day's main news and the headlines from the past week with me kevin owen and first the syrian government strongly denies being behind an attack on a string of villages on friday were un observers confirmed over ninety people were killed damascus rebuffed the accusations from the opposition and some foreign leaders saying there is no evidence to confirm its troops involvement it blames on the regime government for the massacre but there's no way to independently verify any of those claims the syrian rebels meantime say the u.n. peace plan is dead and they're calling on foreign partners to launch airstrikes against president assad the u.n. security council's holding an emergency session now russia and britain's request moscow says multiple evidence suggests that most of those who died in the area were brutally executed former pentagon official michael maloof told me the details of the killings proves the third parties involved. a lot of them are you there's been allegations that there were. gangs that are under the control of the government but

the whole area was actually her is actually under the control of the free syrian army so i don't see how the government forces could have come in and systematically killed all these people up close and like that the opposition has been infiltrated by al qaeda that is al-qaeda is the actions the opposition is becoming much more better equipped. just to clean militarily and this is this is also very problematic i think you have certainly more radical elements that are coming in and plus are getting much more exotic. arms in order to. arm the opposition itself sara firth recently returned from situation and explains what she witnessed firsthand in the conflicts development. but there is no cease fire simply doesn't exist this crisis now 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. where the final responsibility lies what's happening in the country right now is not. the syrian people. 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. 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 is what is what's the alternative 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 traveling into the country 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 and from it is already. the security council guaranteeing civilian protection that is not going to even attempt to abide by this cease fire to. well you know bring more from syria's deputy foreign minister on his country's crisis as he sees it twenty five minutes time he spoke to us. from a conflict. syria's been increasingly from the neighboring lebanon to now with street violence for the second week in a row trouble erupted between sunni opponents of president assad's regime is

alawite supporters nazis myth national spoke to locals who fear the religious clashes could spill into another bloody conflict in the region. i and other night 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 got it out of up 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 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 nine hundred ninety seven war like religious division in your forty's didn't support it 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 for the recent history of warfare hand makes sure that and means the political and religious refits i remain more dangerous bowler more dished out of either liberal or not there are so many factions now sunni or shia salafi he's what's

really bad everybody has weapons not only has belarus 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 this 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 it so what's happening in their meeting at the moment this is a good thing you said early against the violence in lebanon yes some of the people had to leave because the would be forty five feet but you know how much is seventy he remembers all the major conflicts more than lebanon has gone through and as a chilling forecast about the latest trouble crueler you back 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 witnessed yet another conflict in my life the year that it seems a worse case scenario could be getting more and more likely this neighborhood in beirut where the violence started is known as radical as d.d. meaning new roads many fear this road may lead the country to civil war. mary for nationality beirut lebanon. now later this hour report from another country in the region that's on the road to change as well we ask egypt's presidential runoff be the choice between a rock and a hard place with worries over both leaving is missed and former regime candidates . this 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 thousands rallied against what they see as the blocs costly and deadly was many calling for nato dissolution our correspondent in a situation witnessed how the protest met with some heavy handed policing. for.

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 the rebels and you know because the regime. this rally fronted by iraq and afghan war vets who are feeling betrayed by the system throw away their medals. after a minute of silence for those who perished in the u.s. led war zone. all hell breaks loose. like chaos but tons of people shoved and dragged police thrown on to 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 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. 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 unrest this week as protests of a college phase gain momentum despite the emergency law to curb the rallies and

thousands of arrests over the past three months huge numbers turned out again on sunday night in quebec he's going to teach the cameras at the latest demo. it's hard to gauge exactly how many people there are on the streets of montreal but those thousands of people to watch people banging on their pots and expressing anger over what they see is for conan measures undertaken by the government to suppress people's right to freedom of assembly and freedom of expression the government of iraq. because adopted a new law just last week which makes it feel legal to assemble without authorities permission and with part of 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 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 the first is 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 the antipolo test a lot which is then ok clearing out the protest actually fanned the flames of the movement making it so much bigger than just the student uprising. the focus of the correct protests is widely beyond. the new law is supposed to curtail the rallies now but it's only hardening students' resolves apparently canadian journalist michel boy is covering the rallies he says the authorities only option now is direct talks bill was seventy eight which is without its faults and its goal is to convert everything down it was established by the provincial government in canada we have 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 there are certain provisions of this

new law and fringing on the freedom to protest peacefully so people are in shock 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 so it's down to talk come out just but later this hour a trigger for tension traces of high ridge to reign in the discover the nuclear facility in iran sparking more claims that to rand's atomic program has military motives examine that the latest just ahead and getting ready in case greece gives up its upcoming election could be the country's final say on quitting or to keep cutting but the eurozone is already preparing its first farewell may be again we report. age of 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 since the uprising so only a moderate turnout a new risk complaints of ballot violations but as artie's paullus leader found

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 if it 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 where life they will think that this is all his just no one chance for elections they wanted to be them now years in the monthly massacre that takes place when people killed those who don't even have the right to be listened in the big square how can the release of waste and how 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 taxpayer revolutionaries old able to field a single compelling candidate in the country's first post presidential elections. change quickly. but many egyptians expected the monies to be replaced by moderates like i'm almost

certain the sick list a vice a former member of mubarak's regime and of don't want. look both 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 has signed 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 here right on and there will be a little bloodshed and i think that to me is very much aware of this it's very likely egyptians will vote in the end 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 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 the biggest protests what is the r t cairo. and we've got a timeline of the term war online a lot of these stories as well if you'd like to check them out if you get a moment texas tracking your kids every step these days forcing them to carry microchip their i.d. cards to class because the story and also did you catch it one hundred twenty five million viewers did they watch six russian ground and one massive european song contest but the bush gets into second i'll give you a clue think scandinavia check it out online.

talks this week between iran and the u.n. nuclear watchdog in baghdad failed to produce any break. instead gave new ground for speculation that surrounds trying to seek to build a bomb the i report suggested there were traces of high level enriched uranium at one facility something to run claims was a technical glitch islamic state added the discovery was blown out of proportion for political reasons and the report proved the peaceful nature of its nuclear activities around the world powers continued to agree to continue the talks in moscow in the june but as good risk advisor daniel wagner says this little hope of getting a compromise he thinks. 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. tell us what possibility you think there is for a deal between iran and the west the votes that are called with looking like this here we go well almost half of you should see a forty five percent there say you think it doesn't matter if they're told succeed or not because it won't prevent a strike against iran and nearly a third of you they're saying the deal's not possible because iran's concessions will satisfy the west fourteen percent of you agreeing that been no progress but the other way around because around whenever agreed to the west demands and just

ten percent of your mistake got a bit anyway so the a five plus one talks in russia may nail the deal but it's not you think about t. dot com. there were some changes at the top in russia's political circles 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 to as recently inaugurated president putin unveiled his ministers some key officials kept their post but about three quarters of the cabinet in new appointments including young reformists and market liberals has been a wave of major anti-government protests in russia's main cities in recent months as tens of thousands gathered to mount a shakeup in the governing elite more world news no in brief nato airstrikes killed a family of eight in afghanistan with six children among the dead officials there said the victims had no connection with the taliban or any other terrorist group civilian casualties are a splinter an issue between the afghan leadership and nato troops and by twenty

fourteen. thousands of protesters of plastic police outside nepal's parliament as rival parties inside held last minute talks about controversial constitutional changes several demonstrators and three policemen were injured in the violence the politicians again failed to agree on carving separate states based on ethnicity it's seen as key though in stabilizing the country which has struggled since the end of the civil war with maoist fighters in two thousand and six. georgia seen its biggest anti-government rally in three years with forty thousand people marching. into policing coincide with the start of campaigning for this autumn's parliamentary election the rally was organized by the country's richest billionaire who's hoping to become prime minister but zena even if she really is opposition movement accuses president saakashvili of authoritarian it is for a tear in his of land failing the country's paul. great voters are keeping the e.u. on tenterhooks as opinion polls indicate pro and anti astaire

a tea parties are running neck and neck as next month's election draws closer it could decide whether greece stays or quits the euro and although e.u. leaders are publicly voicing support that privately battling down the hatches to prepare for a greek exit is peter all of. should they stay or should they go germany's angela merkel is adamant if your mind is that and i am 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 punk 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 point will

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 far it's easier to pull out of the euro portugal 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 a man trying to woo the greek electorate with rather softer talk than austerity. 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 the seventeenth. so as the future of greece in the eurozone 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 ourselves be derailed by those who want to promote speculative scenarios let's wait i do the will of the greek people but it's wait and see time but with deep resistance in greece towards

austerity there's no clear outcome in sight for this crisis peter all of us. will be joined by union with this weekend sports stories including the final as legendary player manager. also the syrian foreign minister speaks to us to that so the next half hour lines up on r.t. from moscow for you.
