shouts to peaceful problem in villages in central syria not far from the city of hama and after that allegedly prove. when they tied people sharks to be stabbed and buried in an orgy of violence and to support that the opposition posted a number of videos allegedly from the village show when dead bodies but how well these videos contain it is by all appearances to. have died yesterday raising many questions on the credibility and the truth of the opposition's claims and just where these bodies came from on the other hand the syrian government has a completely different take on what's happened. in syria they say they got a call from a local resident asking for how after militants took over the feel of the army has been stationed in the area they've been reporting beforehand they are preparing for an anti-terrorist operation so after that call they immediately launched this

operation and we are receiving right now official. reports from official sources in hama that after the on the went in they discovered nine bodies of civilians and following the clashes that occurred after that two officers have been killed and five others have been injured so as you can see both sides think there is a child there while witnesses reports just contradict each other about who was responsible and without credible investigation right now it's just simply impossible to establish who was behind this massacre well despite the uncertainty surrounding the killings some western that are opposed have made their own conclusions some blaming president assad for the atrocity once again calling for action against his regime but snow across a lot of water these were important for more on this summary of what's been the international reaction to the report so far. well so far most of the international

reaction has been holding the assad government responsible for what has taken place and hama u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton said charlotte bears the responsibility of the most recent deaths that took place and said that syria will not be peaceful until assad goes now her british counterpart david cameron also called for a concerted action from international powers against syria for months and months we've seen the u.s. and its western allies pushing for regime change in syria but over at the united nations in new york a meeting is taking place with the general assembly and the u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon also said that bashar al assad and his government has all lost all its legitimacy and he said that any regime that tolerates the killing of its own people has lost all humanity clearly the secretary general pointing the

finger at the syrian government now the secretary general of the arab league also took to the podium to address the general assembly and called on the u.n. security council to punish the syrian government including through the use of force we have heard in recent weeks the u.s. and european leaders calling for consideration of some type of intervention into syria other countries such as russia and china have been pushing for more diplomatic efforts have been sticking to the six point peace plan that was laid out by the joint special envoy kofi annan who is also at the united nations right now addressing the general assembly will be meeting with the security council but he has said that any kind of unilateral action or intervention into syria would not go well would not be

a success. if everybody in the international community was not behind it. but of course this led to slaughter in syria comes just before briefing to the un general assembly going on as we speak oh we expect anything concrete from the session well he is speaking as you mentioned to the general assembly now and then will be meeting with the security council in a few hours but what was clear through the words spoken by mr non he said that he must be frank that the plan that he put together the six point peace plan that calls for many things most important the ceasefire is not being implemented mr anon said that the crisis in syria is escalating the violence is getting worse the country's becoming more polarized and more radicalized he said when he met with president assad a week ago he had urged for for the leader to to to be responsible for the commitments he made to the six point peace plan and he said ultimately what happens

in syria according to mr anon he said whether that he said the violence is coming from both sides the ultimately the government is responsibility is responsible to protect its own people so mr anon said that the international community must act very swiftly before the circumstance in syria gets any worse he also said as i mentioned unilateral action or intervention into syria without a consensus would not be a success and of course he will be elaborating on that when he speaks of the members of the security council in a few hours ok. thanks for that update. well political analyst christopher hall still has been covering events in the arab region says there are strong indications that how the massacre was carried out by terrorists. in the terrorists you know called off the island peace plan that was in fact a joke they had never kept they have never stuck to it there are terrorists at work

very clearly and very clearly they are sponsored from abroad openly saudi arabia qatar. turkey is involved people you know fighters come over the border from jordan from lebanon from iraq from turkey and that in fact heat up the situation very much and they are all kinds of media lies the most recent where we hear that eighty people were killed in the massacre well the same resistance group you know publishing this said a little later that they were just fifty and that it was twenty four this was all it officer german radio and in fact the government says it was nice but the killing was done by the terrorists and i think that is believable and the other things are lies the usual lies we hear since the year. more on the situation in syria on our web site including the theory that the timing of the latest reported massacre in hama was no coincidence we explore how a similar precedents have already been used in the past to justify military

intervention in foreign countries bypassing the u.n. going to r.t. dot com for more. now the e.u. debt crisis has meant a big business for italy's mafia which has been described as the country's number one bank according to a recent report by european anti crime group struggling small businesses are boring money from criminal groups to keep afloat as banks restrict then ding to an economic crisis well from the story we're joined by telling god to gen of instituto bring on the only and economic think tank based in milan but he will joining us here in our teja reportedly then how firm is the matthews grip on the country's economy. well there is really. a new record right around very proudly idealized to fire it actually mark economic activities have been growing quite steadily the last few years it is very interesting. thing that we knew instinctively we're now actually

a big group of which is that mantra is particularly strong in channeling. example the india energy business sector the. very important. leader in the next few years for the basic point is that mark is extremely efficient in getting it all also i'm of the subsidy so they're coming down so it's actually case that when the debt crisis show no signs of letting up where could this mafia boom as it well some of the elite. where you know we cannot actually say anything like a prediction a minute about this kind of phenomenon we're talking about is to measure the size of the g.d.p. that goes into. that prior to the business sector got acted on by criminal act but street from the one thing you can see i'm in the beginning of mafia on the

collar is particularly strong now or because mafia has cash and you go plenty of small businesses particularly in the south and in the center of the country without running short of cash and have some kind of relationship with mafia because they worked for years to buy protection from up here they made to the mafia as the investors say capital and they may go into the black sector for getting money they could not get out of the show banking sector this is very troublesome and it's a very important offering that can our government really need. to fix some of the problems that are troubling telecom in particular and we need to diffuse fixation as to make more money available to tell him business is more legitimate money coming out with customers and not come out mafia and clean you're going to say well interestingly i mean the recent report cites corruption as one of the may just

stumbling blocks in the stemming the broader u.s. and crisis but it doesn't seem to be the focus of a you politicians very much is the problem underestimated that in your opinion well certainly so you know corruption is along to all men could are going to need these space sickly didn't stop them and the fact that the taliban leaders lation is so complicated so difficult to understand so convoluted. that nobody any interest in it and so no certainty of lawyers no law and our economy i mean there's some very strong divide in between to probably give ministration anybody is probably good ministration and the state can do whatever they can individuals are given my struggle life i mix as anything but just a little bit. many cases in which strong investment future oriented activity were basically stopped by d's lack of legal certainty now to address that probably don't

need to take charge made them and you don't need to get into crisis management to address that problem you need to go back to the foundations of our kind of making law something we're liable and certain again but unfortunately governments in either they like anywhere else and you're just talking as we go on the emergency how to get something done in next to the least and none of them are actually thinking about it from the mental problems of our economy all of which the lack of the certainty of law is certainly one of them all supported festival. even now the timing of the director general of a city to pin on the any thank you you thank. well they today marks cars that will be looking at the u.k.'s efforts to snap economic forces and the financial crisis. met police launch war on economic crime

the metropolitan police in the u.k. are going to go after them in the last twelve months the police have seized over fifty million pounds in cash from the small time economic fraudsters well they got it backwards frederic bastiat said a couple of centuries ago looting at the top begets looting at the bottom if you want to get rid of a living at the bottom giver alluding at the top which means get rid of cameron get rid of born get rid of mervyn king it's all that happened expect more looting at the bottom and more on the zombie apocalypse. now russia's a kremlin is a backing iran's drive for peaceful nuclear program insurance came to central asia as regional security summit in beijing spearheaded by russia and china now the events are present in metz with leaders of afghanistan and iran two nations which often divide opinion in the west you know share scruples.

china for him is just the place to be because it is probably one of the few places in the world where he is not being threatened by sanctions where he can all feel relaxed and smiling we saw on the cameras as he was walking inside the building how children relaxed he was definitely putting on him had a lot to talk about because russia plays a very important role in mediating the conflict between iran and the west moreover the timing of this particular meeting in beijing is very important as well because in the middle of june we're expecting a five plus one group of negotiators to meet in moscow to discuss the iranian issue certainly this happens i mean the time when washington does not rule out military action against tehran and constantly keeps slapping iran with different sort of economic and trade sanctions both russia and china support to support the civil nuclear program in iran at the same time they would not support any military nuclear program in this country now as for the meeting with also seen

a very crucial because russia is now playing a very important role in afghanistan providing one of its military bases in the for the native troops to deliver its military cargo to afghanistan to help the withdrawal of the u.s. troops from the country by the end of. a war on terror in afghanistan is not working out as it was planned civilians are doing by terrorists drug trafficking still there so russia certainly want to play a very important role bringing this country to peace. well we're always interested in your thoughts on the stories we're covering at r.t. dot com we're asking today what you think of the reasons behind russia stepping up its military ties with china well so far the majority of respondents think it's to keep washington's asian pacific ambitions in check seventeen percent say moscow wants to ensure regional security others are split between two options to keep tabs on china's growing military might and gain more leverage in the un security council

you can join a party dot com. but it was the birthplace of the egyptian revolution but squares reputation is now being tainted by a sinister trend activists say female protesters are being increasingly subjected to violence and the arming incidents that some say reflects a much bigger social and cultural problem with the center for three reports on the plight of egyptian women who fear that instead of the freedoms promised by mubarak's fall they may be facing an even darker future. when the suggestion woman was dragged into terrier to be exposed and abused by the military men it served as a stark reminder the burgomeister being toppled egypt's arab spring has many hurdles to overcome if it's to blossom into a democracy for a conservative culture watching a woman exposed in that way open the floodgates to shocking tales of female protesters subjected to violence and sexual harassment not just at the hands of

those they opposed but their fellow revolutionaries as well still we're having a small profit on with some men and the streets is that they are still a little bit against the having women with them side to side in the political women played a vital role in egypt's revolution but what the future now holds for women and their rights is far from certain the life of women actually is what water i'd like my do to live. i do less in the same way i live my i do this with no harassment sexual harassment rampant in egypt forcing women to wear conservative clothes and even avoid areas where they might come into close contact with men because of the problems a sexual harassment but a lot of women complain about here in cairo that racist has some areas for women only many of the women say that's avoid some of the men's wondering. egypt's

now facing the prospect of an islamic government that's raising fears over what it could mean for women's rights i met with as around just one of just eleven female m.p.'s and a member of the muslim brotherhood she's controversially condemned the practice a female circumcision which was banned under the former regime. who agreed the rules of the constitution first. the rules for women and where you have and who do we. is right the introduction of. these cools to revoke hard won women's rights kids risk egypt's new modern democracy becoming a terrifying throwback to the past ages a female oppression now. from. zero point which is very frustrating because usually after which you feel that you're going to gain the political revolution in egypt maybe in

a cultural one it's. just getting started. on the. timeline of the turmoil in egypt can be found on our website and there's plenty more for you there including a blazing nuclear submarine in miami make it into the record books as the most costly caused by something that's gone up more on t. don't come. down to say that stone age artists may have been using animation techniques in a cave drawings creating the impression of. the civilian death toll continues to rise in afghanistan with dozens of lives lost in the last forty eight hours local officials say eighteen civilians died at

a wedding ceremony when they took forces the once an air raid on a village in the country's east alliance commanders deny the reports claiming they only hit taliban fighters in the same day three suicide bombers targeted a market outside a sprawling nato base in kandahar killing twenty two people best of the journalistic kind of porter says made his activity in afghanistan become a magnet for civilian deaths. you know this whole problem of u.s. and nato military operations both ears strikes and raids use a situation that has caused enormous opposition from the population particularly the southern afghanistan. region of the country are to. increasingly oppose the presence of u.s. and nato forces in fact if you look at the casual the casualty figures for civilians and you compare them with the level of foreign troops operating in

afghanistan you can see that there's a direct correlation between the two and because of that the reason for that correlation is obvious that the more u.s. and nato forces particularly u.s. military forces are active in a particular area the more civilians are going to be caught up in the fighting so the exact opposite is really the reality of the united states could ever protect the civilian population lost more than these making headlines across the while the south greek prosecutors have ordered the arrest of a far right member of parliament for his attack on. leftwing deputies to life t.v. debates and yes i said this through a glass of water and they sit in pain often she brought up his alleged involvement in the looking case five years ago that television debate came ahead of the country's parliamentary election in ten days time. hundreds of

workers have rioted of the chinese factory foxconn which produces apple devices dozens of protesters detained employees that clash with security guards supporting reports of an attempted theft that you see came on forcing staff to work excessively long hours for their salaries. the pretrial hearing for the bradley manning case is taking place at fort meade twenty four year old manning is accused of aiding the enemy by publishing hundreds of classified u.s. cables and a whistle blowing web site wiki leaks defense plans to call several u.s. state department workers to assess the damage done to american foreign relations part of disclosures. the type of business he is now and their value investors are said to snap at russia's crown jewels it's just the government's announced the big privatization will start this year joins us it's like burbank and all major roads near full go under the hammer from september jacob bill from morgan stanley russia thinks investor interest will be high. these are some of the great companies russia

that are being privatized spared bank and obviously the two largest banks there is the largest oil company and you have a number of excellent infrastructure assets including. airports largest airports in the country particular when combined with the nuke of a twenty five percent of russian railways a number of poor. and so i think that any serious investor will want to take a good hard look at these assets whether they're russian or foreign. women aren't you just said you know the news of america knew that russia's biggest go from first rose and therefore go on to the hammer next year it's also a run up corporation with america's exxon mobil the new economic school surrogate greer says the company is moving in the right direction. i think it's a very good sign that the government today decided that they should be privatized i think it's a step in that i did actually there is no reason why it should be a government owned company it works in

a competitive sector it's not an infrastructure company it's not a defense company should be privatized but i would still be until the deal because we're hearing that so many a times and we've not seen to it is happening yet it's a very good sign that it's been on the nose. and as i was saying ben bernanke has just said that the federal reserve the fed stands ready to act to protect the financial system and the economy in the event that financial stresses from the european crisis escalate that's sent in the first few hours of trade america slightly up british premier david cameron is in germany to warn angela merkel the euro is in the last chance saloon he has to push for a huge rescue deal to save the failing single currency in the spotlight at the moment particularly spain whose banks need at least eighty billion euro to cover but property loans is just sold another two billion euro and it's but the government admits it's too big to bail out by brussels madrid also said world markets are now refusing to listen to it for fear they won't be paid back markets
