all the developments around russia we've got the future covered. egypt's also president hosni mubarak begin serving a life sentence for his part in killing hundreds of protesters last year are the quarter protestors firas with the verdict continue to rally into the night. president putin pushes a u.n. envoy for peace plan for syria insisting that both sides need to stop the violence as russian leader travels to berlin and paris. and how talking to r t could get you fired in latvia and estonia as people land on blacklist after demanding equal one point to make russians. you're watching r t with me to bomb would say president vladimir putin has called

for patients to lead coffee announce peace plan work in syria resisting pressure to assume a tougher stance against the regime concerns over nato as missile shield and the euro zone's dead was also come into focus as a russian leader met his german and french counterparts in berlin and paris artie's attests us has been following the talks. they have talked about energy issues also in terms of increasing trade between the two countries let's not forget that the e.u. is the trading partner of russia the e.u. as a whole and that investment coming from this continent to russia is definitely significant and they also touched upon issues that concern them both such as that of a nuclear nonproliferation and again stressing the fact that the two countries are indeed partners but in terms of that partnership there is of course still a tension especially when it comes to the anti missile defense first of all and had stressed the a position of france it accordance with its other international partners saying

that the a.m.t. is not aimed at russia however russia said that in the past they had had a god verbal promises but that is not enough. in the past we've often been promised that nato wouldn't expand then we were promised that nato wouldn't put military hardware near russia but we've seen it expand and its bases spread now we need guarantees but i'd like to say we're not going to escalate this discussion we've already invited our partners to engage in dialogue now syria of course is high on the agenda before a bloody mary putin went to berlin and to france at the paris there had been statements from the two countries saying that they will try to get moscow on board russia maintaining that it is not siding with assad nor is it siding with the opposition now this has come under fire from the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton who said that by not taking sides that in fact will contribute to escalating the violence in the country well certainly this is not how a mr putin of use the situation. where no discussing the tragedy in

a syrian town where fourteen or fifteen people were killed some of them were actually tortured as well this is stirred up the world's media but how many civilians of actually being killed at the hands of the so-called militants have you looked at that body count now as far as francois hollande and putin are concerned they both a stress that they are looking at a diplomatic solution that this is still the ideal and to solving the crisis in. syria however it has to be pointed out that there are differences in their approach a law in saying that more sanctions are necessary to put pressure on the assad regime or putin saying that this is ineffective citing past examples for example in iraq or libya while she was questioning the security level at this point today and staying in the region a syrian opposition group is urging military action in the country by gulf states coffee and the no wonder at the arab league ministers meeting that syria is slipping into an all out war with violence already overflowing into neighboring countries political analysts come in are was me who talk to us from levanon

whitley's ten were killed in recent clashes said we're already seeing a domino effect obviously it's a scary situation. so the original lebanon could escalate to open war especially tripoli rounding area a lot of people warn about this because this is a continuation of what is taking place in syria i think there's a lot of people in tripoli in northern lebanon been shipping arms to syria funded by qatar. qatari been very counterproductive in this process and they've been given money and weapon and given all the protection of the opposition now we can see somebody doesn't want a bit of love and on a very dangerous situation syria is facing the prospect of civil war and this has consequences and lebanon will be definitely affected by it.

egypt's president hosni mubarak who was sentenced to life on saturday has been admitted to prison hospital after suffering a serious health crisis on the way from the courthouse meanwhile the sentence that triggered anger among many egyptians with crowds gathering in the country's two largest cities freelance journalist the bell drew is in the square with more. people at the moment are really quite angry with the verdict first when they heard of a barak was given twenty five years of life sentence they were euphoric because people presume that he would just be done for corruption charges however they realize that his sons are lying and also. the interior ministry say six police officers would not be sure of course it's people started to realize that perhaps the verdict wasn't what they wanted so what we saw was actually a mass on pricing a process egypt where people basically came to the streets with extremely angry about the verdict going to people are calling for a death sentence now so we still have several tens of thousands of people here with

aunt maria and across egypt really very angry mubarak's the funny stories did actually lodge an appeal earlier as soon as the verdict was ready announced that's one of the biggest days the protesters are. fearing really is that he will actually . be successful with his you know such a me and not serving his full life sentence which is why people are still on the streets basically people don't believe that you should produce your system is transparent so they think that perhaps that barak will be acquitted because that's what the regime the old regime are still in place once people are beginning to make the connections between what they consider to be the old regime and the new regime which the military council basically what they seen is mubarak get off lightly they want to hear they want to see the death sentence they want to taste some history put in prison at the same time you know the background of the elections where the barak's former prime minister which if each is actually considered to be one of them i spoke to one of makes the most popular candidates so people are really

fairing is that this regime will never and that the repetition is in fact not worse . pejic henningsen associate as solve the website enforce dot com says a mubarak's trial and the choice of candidates in the coming election runoff proves that the old regime is still in control. if you look at the charges that start courses the acquittals you know if protestors were killed in trial here square it's likely that shoot to kill orders were not given by the president and you look at who stayed in power after the fall of you know the real power in egypt is those who are in the military and security services and they were all found not guilty there is a scramble for power there between the old guard. and the muslim brotherhood north sea but the only day the real story here is that how can you have free and fair elections in a country that is still under military dictatorship so according to election

officials in the first round of elections the majority of votes and numbers were not cast for either show feet or morsi so what we have here i believe it looks like a staged a kind of a staged election and we're looking at when the real problem in egypt is the cycle of privilege and this is the problem that the if you gyptian for really want democracy to be going to have to face the same problem that we have in the united states and european countries which is the same people who are involved with the security services as embedded politicians or privileged families and wealthy families of the same cycle of privilege which tend to get out of that cycle i don't see it happening in the near future. still ahead for you this hour slashing california's debts a by stopping state killing twenty four from the millions spent keeping inmates on the tenth road and how that cash could be better spent elsewhere also. our

government has been borrowing money from private banks i am quoting us into debt and they're not doing anything about pass me the twelve yr old canadian girl whose economic accu man is taking the web by storm she talks and gives us her solutions. a lead we're naval academy professor says he's been forced to leave his job after an interview with our team over the prosecution of ethnic russians in the baltic countries our correspondent. met with him to find out how and why it happened. i cannot accept this policy of treachery to my friends from the russian minority we stood shoulder to shoulder to make independent now they're being treated like garbage. in february this teacher at previous novel academy spoke to our team for months on the york is looking for a job it was made clear to him by the academy's management that his appearance on

r.t. meant he had no future there. this interview was home full for a future student so he made it look as if i made an act of aggression against latvia i told. him i have a constitutional right to do play to my colleagues told me. to find a reason to sack me after the summer exams. a top level politician from another baltic country store near also made comments on one of our stories and also found himself targeted by the authorities the vice mayor of cool but was surprised to see himself on an annual. a report put together by a stone your security police outlining actual and potential threats to national security he decided to take action while. i was blacklisted because of my sympathies to protect and preserve russian schools here the security

police believe this could violence as soon as. i have a different opinion and that's why i filed a lawsuit against the organization for me it's not only about clearing my name but just talking tendencies mind democracy in my country so on that list also contained almost all russian t.v. stations including r.t. foreign minister sergei lavrov and anti-fascist activists from finland and a dozen n.g.o.s member of a stony as parliament. also one of the names on the blacklist wrote the letter to a stone lance prime minister demanding answers she believes such actions are illegal when you know when a society if they need it or not at war with russia or anyone else that's why we have no grounds to glad at least any organizations or channels the security police have been running this with courts for many years but this time they have crossed a certain line read the rules and they say this organization is only responsible

for gathering information and into not publishing it to influence the public opinion in the two decades since independence the baltic states have been trying hard to bury their communist possed ironically putting people on blacklists was one of the methods used by the soviet special services so with more people being scrutinized for speaking their minds the wish of the baltic countries to follow a democratic path which may come into question those who have found themselves on the pressure from the authorities for speaking to the media find it especially surprising that things like that happen in morden day europe they say they never wanted to harm their homeland but they want the democracy to prevail after all. let's hear a shift. r.t. reporting from latvia this story or. anger is growing among american taxpayers who see millions of their dollars spent each year on keeping inmates on death row and that has us schools and universities face billions in cuts artes in medina question

of our has been in california hearing growing calls to end the death penalty. but in his twenty years as district attorney of l.a. county john van de camp was involved in the conviction of a good number of people who were sentenced to death he says with the years of legal wrangling keeping people on death row doesn't come cheap and is a constant drain on resources you tried death penalty case you have specially paul so you basically have to trial and that takes a very long time to go to jerusalem to go through the jury process you also have to have special counsel appointed and then there is an automatic appeal there's a cost of appeal all of these procedures make the death penalty a big and expensive business for the state since nine hundred seventy eight taxpayers have spent more than four billion dollars in capital punishment in california alone or about three hundred eight million dollars for each of the

thirteen acts accused sions carried out since then and with the average costs of keeping a person in prison at around twenty to fifty thousand dollars a year this coming november california is said to vote on whether to scrap capital punishment in favor of life without parole to day in times of deep economic recession the debate is shifting from traditional arguments about the morality of x. a kill shot and focusing instead on the cost effectiveness of the state's death penalty program ronnie sound of all is among those californians who stand for an end to the death penalty her phrase in the justice system was shattered when her sixteen year old son arthur was wrongfully convicted she now believes the money spent on capital punishment can find a better use put more cops on the street put more police officers trying to solve

crimes i mean there's a lot of places where we can go to we're actually run for the community activists claim. dropping the death penalty puts california on track to save one billion dollars in the next five years the money desperately needed by the state now running a sixteen billion dollars deficit however some say dropping the death penalty could provide difficult because of the special interests involved in what's being dubbed the prison industrial complex that's an industry that is not serving anything right now except for special interests we're up to the point where if we continue to keep this hunger for justice what we're going to be doing is cutting those people off the honorable law enforcement people from their pensions with the state of california facing bankruptcy it seems its moral compass is being guided by the draw of cash not affix much in the question the r.t. reporting from los angeles california this is supposedly the people's pledge form

but increasingly web users are led to livid over what's seen as growing censorship has been asking people in new york whether they see it as protection or restriction . the internet has only been around for a couple of decades now is it out right as human beings to be able to access it freely anytime we want this week let's talk about that absolutely the internet is for everyone it was constructed to be an information and we should all be able to drive on it and what about children and porn one thing that's of the parents to control it not up to government though you are in control of what you access on the internet not anyone else. pick up whatever book i want to pick up and assign concert yes anything they want but maybe not at work so there should be restrictions of where you view what you're viewing so i think the efforts to stop

it bring in the government and everybody else to try to regulate i don't know that you can be done right they're just going to muck it up even more probably that's what i'm thinking i'm thinking you're thinking right now that maybe there should be warnings you know like that video came out about syria recently and before i watched it on you tube they said you know be careful if it's you're going to see a lot that you may not want to see so that is a type of regulation it is ok so maybe a warning just to let people know what they might be in for right but other than that i think people should be able to post whatever they want to be should be able to act as misinformation and porn as you watch absolutely and be the judge of it you're so fiola people make their own decisions you know some people are idiots but most of us aren't. here do you think the internet makes you more eighty it's out of us the name if the internet weren't around. that's a good question because you know it sometimes the information you get from the internet isn't as reliable as it would be from a book people don't proofread which appears often as they probably should but

you've got to it also teaches you to be a little bit more. to take everything you hear with a pinch of salt right it's or it all comes together i guess it is very free and that's going to be for you know for. speech and all that good stuff too i guess and you think it'll remain that way forever yes even though it's just in its infancy you don't think people are smart enough to figure out how to make money and control it. you. know it's too big. whether or not you think the internet should remain free an anonymous forever the bottom line is that's probably unrealistic so you might want to practice responsible googling now. now let's take a look at some other news making headlines around the world and ten people have gotten killed when a cargo plane crashed on landing overshot the runway and collided with a bus on a nearby road in ghana's capital the plane's most through the fence surrounding

international airport police and troops have condoned off the area also crew members of by the incident but suffered injuries and have been taken to hospital. at these a.p.c. a police officers were injured and more than seven hundred people arrested after violent clashes between new nazis and n.t. nazi groups in the north and german city of hamburg the left wingers are put up barricades of burning trash bins and attack the opponents with via words and stones the police use water cannon to control the fires and disperse the crowd. at least twenty people were killed and more than fifty wounded in a wave of violence in villages near nigeria's capital according to a red cross report of the fighting began on friday and around six thousand villages have been displaced from their homes the central region of the country is often the scene for clashes between groups from the christian south and the muslim north. and

tens of thousands of britons have gathered in london's hyde park to launch queen elizabeth the second's diamond jubilee celebrations the eighty six year old man i'll go chose the epsom dobby as the starting point for marking has sixty years on the throne as david sees it will. last four days were the high points on sunday river pageant on the thames the royal barge will carry the queen as she leaves a flotilla of more than a thousand boats the biggest river gathering for three hundred fifty years. economic around the world are struggling to create solutions to the financial crisis but a twelve year old canadian things she knows what needs to be done victoria granted the internet by storm overnight after a video of her slamming canada's banks for robbing the people went viral. where discovery is the banks and the government have could financially and save the people of canada are going to pay his mortgage really means a death. or a lot they don't actually give you money they click

a key our computer and carry the fake money out of thin air does become painfully obvious even for me at twelve year old canadian that we're being a friday by the banking system anaconda said government what will we do to stop this. and my colleague bill dodd talk to victoria grant and her mother marcia and not just about her take on canada's banking system but her own ambitions in life as well. what's been bothering me is that our government has been borrowing money from private banks and putting us into debt and they're not doing anything about this so they're just standing by and watching the private banks make us pay compound interest you are just twelve years old what do you think you understand what's wrong with the economy that you have the old world leaders don't well i've been researching and watching documentaries and like reading books and it's not that

hard to understand once you start researching world leaders they probably know what's happening is just they're just they're not doing anything about it i think they don't care because they're benefiting from what they're doing to us did you really come up with ideas yourself and me and my dad had them watching documentaries so i'd be taking notes and then you know like we'd write it down and then we put it into my speech what are your ambitions do you want to be an economist you want to be prime minister. i want to be an interior designer but i'm definitely going to keep studying monetary reform. and from a wonder girl to a super grand an age defying seventy one year old woman who has become one of russia's most travel cyclists having crossed the world's biggest country over a dozen times and as

a real girlish corrie porter she's back in the saddle with her sights set on europe she took a biking twenty years ago right after her fiftieth birthday a physical education teacher of ulemas high look said she had to do something after her retirement so she learned to ride a bicycle in a week in the house these days seventy one year old yulia feels comfortable enough on the bike to ride right across russia i think she's accomplished no less than sixteen times averaging almost a triple year traverse in the world's biggest country. every day from dusk till dawn i'm cycling i do take rest stops but the used to last novel too and now there are only half an hour a rest while i eat and then get back on the wheels again. this here she's heading in a different direction the u.a.e. is riding her bike from tear to paris to commemorate the march of the russian army in his defeat of napoleon in eight hundred twelve the only thing she had to conquer

was a visa let's reset for most of us taking a mile long walk is already an accomplishment and a four and a half thousand kilometer bike ride forget about it but you only assess runs temple hours every morning in the winter and the sort of the snow melts she's back on her bike so this trip should really be a piece of cake because i'm your girl and i often get asked why don't you take anyone along with me you are but how can i would you come with me i'm not sure you'll be able to see through and i'm sure i will never go to see a doctor i never get sick in the seventeen years i've been doing this i only take a first aid kit some bandages and antiseptic but comment here is somewhat of a silly. pretty local politicians believe her exceptional physical shape and enthusiasm are just what people of all ages need in this day and age of a drive through fast food traffic jams and to be marathons by the. safe is

the sport of cycling in our city we're putting a lot of effort into developing the sport here bicycle parking spaces bike routes and basically want to turn to a very into the bicycle capital of the country and she says a great example but hughley his biggest supporter is her husband also a physical education instructor and he believes his wife is an example hard to follow need to move to the premier league not everyone can lead this lifestyle you have to be brave and determined and possess enormous willpower she has it but a lot of people don't. view it as to me as it will take her around two months to get all the way to paris across europe she intends to sleep in a tent on the roadside just as she's done dozens of times before if you don't stop work back if you can't go yet i can talk to the wild for the first three years in villages by a river or upon one such time

a man approached me and said i was observing you for a long time everyone is leaving and you're staying for the night on the beach he said come along to our house dumbass kid i leave with the wife i told him i'm not afraid of the devil himself so if you happen to see his brightly levy on a bike as you travel across europe in your car this summer do say hello but don't offer a lift she will most certainly refuse it it even goes to be a region. there's always mall online at our t. dot com here's a sample of what's waiting for you the tension is rising in asia as the you was has announced that sixty percent of its naval fleet is moving to the pacific region how could those military shift of back to you with china relations you'll find analysis and comment online. and it's been raining sheep on australian highway recently and not in a good way to go to archie dot com to see how the drive has coped with the
