is a report on our cheek. in the. the latest news and week's top stories here on r.g.p. first syria denies government troops carried out the mass in the tunnel as the dust told the rise is two hundred eight hundred forty nine children russia points to evidence showing many of the dead were actually dead rather than have an unfilled in our shelter. and fears rise of one rests in the region as religious factions in lebanon become increasingly divided over the syrian conflict. thousands of canadians marched one feel this week to define a law designed to curb student anti jewish and few rallies which have often ended in violence and mass arrests.

you're watching r t it's five o'clock here in moscow where he'll with the weekly with me to bomb a day off for a story the un security council has been holding an emergency closed door session to discuss the massacre in the syrian town of houla a report delivered by the head of the observer mission to the country says at least one hundred eight people were killed in the attack on friday according to some diplomats and also pointed the finger of blame at the syrian government damascus a strongly denies being behind the attack as saying there is no evidence to confirm its troops involvement it blames and to regime gunmen for the massacre but there's no way 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 its strikes against president assad moscow says most of those who died in houla were executed with handheld weapons already knows range. has been following events at the you went for

us got it from our united nations security council members caught their weekend short to hold a three hour. closed door emergency meeting on the way to developments in syria where on friday in the bloodiest massacre since the anti-government clashes started on the ground a year ago took place where over a hundred people were killed including dozens of women and children prior to the meeting britain and france were calling for security council members to adopt a joint press statement pointing the fingers out the syrian government russia however who previously vetoed a regime change resolution on syria said it would prefer to wait to hear what the head of the un observer mission in syria had to say and this is why the meeting was adjourned now after the meeting a joint press statement obviated nations security council members was released the security council has condemned these violence weiland killings which included

artillery and tank shellings the security council says this is a breach of international law and breach of syria's commitments under united nations security council resolutions but what's important here is that the council also condemned close range killings including knives being used to slaughter people and the key here is that it's not clear as of yet who was behind these close range killings and russia says that the majority of the deaths took place at close range so it's important to discover who exactly stood behind that we do know of course that the syrian government has been denying any involvement in this massacre saying it had nothing to do with it we have heard from the deputy russian foreign minister say earlier that a clear and careful investigation into this massacre has to take place and the united nations observer mission is currently conducting such an investigation. sarah ferguson recently returned from syria and now explains what she witnessed

firsthand in the conflicts development there is no ceasefire simply doesn't exist this crisis that was 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. is not. the syrian people. who do not want to see. security. particularly those who. 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 just three months.

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 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 the cost of this conflict is devastating and if the u.n. mission that is going to get if. it is already. the security council going to take action that is not going to even attempt to abide by this. for the second week running lebanon. is seeing an increase of street violence over the fate of its

neighbor syria trouble erupted between sunni opponents of president assad's regime and its alawite or supporters artie's maria does spoke to locals who fear their religious clashes could grow into another bloody conflict in the region. and 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 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 not many unresolved issues after the one nine hundred seventy five one hundred ninety seven war like religious divisions 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 in the cag the recent history of warfare hand makes sure that and means the political and religious reefs are in more dangerous they were more liberal no there are so many

factions now sunni shia face what's really bad everybody has weapons not only has belarus they may think but everybody in every house and they use them for that about the shia. sunni neighborhoods exist side by side in central beirut and in recent years it's been a stable peaceful arrangement but syria in fact means fear has now grieved them feel over it turn into a deadly bloody past which residents here desperately hope to avoid but doing it is nothing that has nothing to do with politics or what's happening in the region at the moment it's just that the music world against violence and having to some of the people have to leave but that would be bad if it was still happening and how murders seventy remembers all the major conflicts more than lebanon has gone through and as a chilling forecast about the latest trouble whoever you are what are seen or

reminds me of the night you know actually true 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. but it seems a worse case scenario could be gettin 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 leave the country to a civil war. marry for national r.t. beirut lebanon. coming up later this hour a trigger for tension traces of highly enriched uranium i discovered at a nuclear facility in iran sparking more claims that terrans atomic program has military motives and the latest is just ahead. and quit or keep cutting greeks prepared to have this say at the polls in the upcoming elections but the eurozone it seems is already preparing for its first affair well. in

canada a new emergency law aiming to curb student protests against jewish in fiji has backfired thousands in montreal filled the streets every day this week in defiance of the measure despite a police crackdown authorities now say they're planning to return to the negotiating table on monday is a guy and their teacher can was that the latest demonstration. 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 feel legal to assemble without authorities permission and requires the precise roadmap of any more chore demonstration planned with the use of could they came up with

a 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 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 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 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 to back the verses 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 putting out the protest actually fanned the flames of the movement making it so much bigger than just the student uprising. guyon and she can they are reporting now the emergency law that was supposed to quell the suit and the rest has also provoked a widespread opposition into baghdad widening the scope of the rally it's to defending the right to assemble canadian journalism michel boyer who is covering the nightly demonstrations says the government will have to abandon its hardline stance bill was seventy eight which is what that's so 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 that certain provisions of this new law are 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 since don't talk. in egypt and preliminary election results suggests that a muslim brotherhood candidate and a pre-revolution prime minister will be tied in a neck and neck race for the country's top job however the first election after the el sting of who's to mubarak last year has been marred by ickes ations of voter fraud and that transparency egyptians are now things to with a choice between an islamist and a member of the former regime and as a policy

a report on many of their future and uncertain future. 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 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 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 will even kill those who don't even have the right to be listened in the big square how can the release of where we stand 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 fear revolutionaries would able to field a single compelling candidate in the country's first post presidential elections. but many egyptians expected the moneys to be replaced by moderates like i'm almost

certain the sick list of vice a former member of mubarak's regime and abdomen. name a bush that took a look both former brotherhood members 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 to form a farm is an area that dr hassan a far believes would have unthinkable consequences i mean it's very cruel has to be executed and then they thought would be very very violent and there would 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 talking 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 reality cairo. and when you're not near t.v. said head to our dot com to get the latest scope of all the news from russia and iran the world there you find amid may just candles involving u.s. servicemen in war zones and nato forces in southwestern afghanistan bad troops from taking personal photos plus. in britain dong one bridge tour is that they want us there war as the london olympics draw nearer those who live in the black flag are going for gold and never touch tempted you know more head to our teeth dot com. talks this week between iran and the u.n. nuclear watchdog in baghdad failed to produce any breakthrough and instead they

gave new ground for speculation is that iran is seeking to build a bomb and i. the jets said they would traces a high level enrich uranium at one facility something to run claims was a technical glitch the state added the discovery was blown out of proportion for political reasons and that the peaceful nature of its nuclear activities of iran and the world powers agreed to continue the talks in moscow in me gene that risk advice that daniel leganes says it is now very little hope of getting 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. tell us what possibly you think there is for a deal between iran and the west the vote dot com a lot like this always half of you who voted so far think it doesn't matter if the will succeed as it won't prevent a strike against iran although a third believe a deal is not possible because iran's concessions will never satisfy the west put in prison say they'll be no progress but because iran will never agree to the west demands and just nine percent are optimistic saying the five plus one talks in russia may nail the deal let us know what you think get out dot com.
