hallmark and after that allegedly prove. when they tied people on the sharks that they stabbed and buried them in an orgy of violence and to support that the opposition posted a number of videos allegedly from this village showing dead bodies but however these videos contain. by all appearances to. have died yesterday raising many questions on the credibility and the truth of their positions claims than just where these bodies came from on the other hand the syrian government has a completely different take on what happened. in syria they say they got a call from a local resident asking for help after militants took over the feeling the army has been stationed in the area they've been reporting beforehand that 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 army 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 trial there wow witnesses reports just contradict each other about who was responsible and without credible investigation right now just simply impossible to establish who was behind this massacre. well despite the uncertainty surrounding the killings many western and arab powers have drawn the wrong conclusions with the u.k. and us immediately leading calls to lay the blame on president assad for the atrocity and once again demanding action against his regime. has been following the u.n. discussions on syria in new york. the united nations secretary-general ban ki moon was the first of many to point his finger syrian president bashar al assad saying

that the leader has lost all legitimacy and credibility in addition to that we have heard of comments coming from u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton saying that syria will not be peaceful and toll . bridge counterpart david cameron also called for a concerted action from international powers against syria now western powers have been for months pushing for regime change in syria and as of late pushing and campaigning for security council sanctions on syria now those sanctions as something that china and russia are opposed to frustrate men is coming from russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov who says there will be no mandate for military intervention into syria he says he can personally guarantee it the russian ambassador to the un vitaly churkin also addressed the general assembly saying that the international community needs to coordinate its efforts behind the six point peace plan that was put forth by international envoy kofi annan. we feel

indignation over the mass killings. it's clear that these are crimes that should be . but it's also those behind these atrocities i mean to drag syria into a bloody civil war. to settle the syrian crisis politically which now mr anon when he addressed the general assembly said that the international community must find common ground and act as one he said that individual actions or any kind of interventions will not resolve the crisis that the international community must act together but must out very quickly because according to the joint special envoy the violence is escalating there the country is growing even more polarized even more radicalized. going to put that let's get more reaction. on the syrian crisis from jacob horn but he's founder and president of the future of freedom foundation joining us live then virginia well the general assembly wrapped up

a little while ago and the u.n. security council is meeting at the moment what developments can we expect now. i think more of the same i mean you have a classic situation in a country where you do not have an electoral process for people can oust their rulers peacefully through the vote and so the only way to oust a dictatorship mr violence and that's the situation we have here we have a brutal dictator if people are tired of him at least a large segment of the citizenry the only recourse they have to oust him lives through violence through revolution or civil war but and that's entirely legitimate at this point but that doesn't legitimize outside interference and we have the future of freedom foundation have long argued that the u.s. government needs to butt out of this they're seeking regime change in large part because this is not a pro u.s. dictator we see other dictatorships in the middle east in latin american elsewhere that are pro u.s. dictators and the u.s.

embraces it and it supports them sends them money and so i think what we can see and this is long as people wish to oust this this dictatorship in syria you're going to see more violence one side or another has to give up in order to resolve this whether it's that the rebels or the or into the regime and it doesn't look like either side is willing to give up and talking about violence the recent spate of killings in hama just ahead of a man session with the u.n. what do you make of the timing of that. well you know if you got it you've got a brutal regime that is going to do anything it can to stay in power assad's father in gauging this kind of brutality i mean this is last uprising you can expect this this is why revolutions are a dangerous game so it is usually you have to make it clear that the sad to government is responsible for that massacre you would say well it's not clear i mean obviously you know you don't know the facts what happened in so for but it

certainly wouldn't surprise anyone if if if the regime in gauging the massacre of noncombatants of civilians i mean that this is this is a brutal regime but you think it had an opposite effect wouldn't you know it took to actually. kill innocent victims women and children in this i mean what really could that regime gain from the massacring of innocent people. longevity you know you you go in there and you you cal the people you say this is how brutal we are willing to stop at nothing. to maintain our regime here and that's enough to discourage sometimes people from going on safe see their children till they see their spouses you don't and we've seen regimes throughout history and gauging totally war where they engage where they use their power against civilians against women children defenseless people such are those that don't need to justify foreign intervention because many people say we can't just stand by and let that

happen. i'm saying it does not justify an intervention this is a problem for the syrian people to resolve it does not justify outside intervention any outside intervention doesn't guarantee to make things any better you're our view when you're talking about outside intervention you're talking about bombs drop mean you're talking about maybe invading troops. one can easily image you know that number of innocent people are going to be killed there you know even if it's by accident i mean we've seen this in iraq we've seen it in afghanistan we see it with these drone attacks that the u.s. is engaged in you when you start dropping bombs on people innocent people are going to die so it was ok just briefly the outside intervention then with the aim to getting rid of a sad to getting rid of the regime if that happens what's next for the country impossible to know you may end up with a worse situation than before obviously that the interveners always liked you install a new pro intervenor regime many times it's is

a brutal dictatorship is it was before look at the u.s. when they ousted most of the i could have been democratically elected in iran they end up with the shah of iran was a brutal dictator tortured killed his own people and so forth you don't know what's going to happen when you engage in these outside interventions but many times it's a much more brutal deadly situation than what you were trying to resolve really interesting here or perspective on this thank you very much indeed jacob home by the founder and president the future of freedom foundation thank you you're welcome thank you. r.t. come july from moscow it's now coming up to ten minutes past the hour russia's kremlin is backing iran's drive for peaceful atomic program the seans came during central asia as regional security summit in beijing spearheaded by russia and china at the event president vladimir putin met with the leaders of afghanistan and iran two nations which often divide opinion in the west alexey yet cesky reports.

china for him it's 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 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 it's also seen as very

crucial because russia is now playing a very important role in afghanistan providing one of its military bases in it for the native troops to deliver its nonmilitary cargo to afghanistan to help the withdrawal of the u.s. troops from the country by the end of fourteen it's evident to many that the war on terror in afghanistan is not working out as it was planned civilians are being killed by terrorists drug trafficking and still there so russia certainly want to play a very important role in bringing this country to peace it was the birthplace of the egyptian revolution but his quiz reputation is now being tainted by sin is to trend. women protesters are increasingly being subjected to violence and sexual abuse norming incidents that some say reflects a much bigger social and cultural problem reports in the plight of the gyptian women who fear that instead of the freedom promised by the barracks full they may be facing a darker feature than them. when the suggestion woman was dragged into terrier to

with no harassment sexual harassment is 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 that a lot of women complain about here in cairo and that racist has some areas for women only many of the women say that's the voice of the nuns wandering around. 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 of female circumcision which was banned under the former regime. who agreed the rules of the constitution first. the rules for women and where and we were. do what is

that running short of cash and have some kind of relationship with market because they worked for many years to buy protection from a few they made to the mafia as the investment 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 that should tell our government we need. to fix some of the problems that are troubling to tell the economy in particular do we need to do six there's still a bit more money available to tell the base this is more legitimate money coming out of casting worse and not coming out mafia and not i'm going to say. as the european financial returns to continue to bring down economies and governments some small the political parties are getting their moment in the spotlight the power party in germany has seen a surge in popularity as people abandon more traditional outfits but as you go to

piss him off assesses the political ambitions. it may seem like a hollowing convention but don't let these outfits for you this is the annual conference of the pirate party of germany only three years ago it had just about one thousand members now there are almost thirty thousand and with deputies in three local parliaments including in berlin the pirates or hijacking their way into mainstream politics paris have become more beautiful landscape in germany that part of parties have to take a long time and you already see that are people reacting to the party success story started in doing local elections last september when they surprisingly won newly named percent of votes now according to opinion polls the party would capture up to thirteen percent of votes across junee if the election to the national parliament was held today the pirates are a newcomer within the party system they produce

a policy making people didn't expect from a traditional party. and political communication and they are kind of a platform for the transport of political protest. the borders are all about participation and transparency allowing all members to take part in discussions online and it doesn't seem to matter that so far the only submitted to me two political motions in schools why were until conservations or that their favorite meeting spot is a bar in berlin they don't have a stance on foreign affairs or the financial crisis and they have already made a few mistakes along the way with one senior member comparing their success with the first years of hitler's nazis though he quickly apologized we don't take ourselves so seriously we're not a come first as other politicians are we we know that we're human and we we make mistakes and accept that make mistakes and therefore we have no problem. ok sorry i

was wrong germany's national election is planned for next year and the pirates are ready for battle just like. the pirate party of germany is going through its own growing pains but its popularity and flyers are on the right and it could be time for mainstream politicians to watch out for the new kids on the block. r.t. germany some other news making headlines now across the world this data pakistani graduation ceremony turns into a nightmare is a blast outside the building kills at least eight people and another twenty the bomb was attached to a bicycle that was left by the school gates in the city of the city it is believed the device was detonated by remote control. sources three children are among the victims. and saddam hussein's cousin and personal secretary has been executed in

well at kennesaw i love the lebanon is affected by internal tensions and we do not conflict or decisions related to security issues are made outside by other countries so how can you talk about security in lebanon. little bit of lebanon security doesn't depend on lebanon alone politically and in terms of security and lebanon depends on external factors as well that the people of lebanon have close religious and family ties with neighboring states. is that an alternative to. the corner and that has to be an alternative even smaller countries than lebanon resist external influence a conflict also what do you think about the conflict between the shia and sunni the

. need for fitness and in one hundred seventy four and seventy five we had a conflict between christians and muslims in lebanon and this conflict was result well if we adopted a new comes to. and achieved harmony it is possible that at some point lebanon will face the threat of being broken up into pieces and of course it concerns me that look at iraq for example the us occupied the country then they withdrew their troops and what do we have now iraq is divided there is a danger that something like that will happen in syria to have the current situation persist if syria is divided this will directly affect lebanon. do you think the concierge and regime can protect lebanon. the question is not whether this regime stays in syria or is replaced by another one the problem is that the insurgents in syria affects the situation in lebanon. who do you think is behind the syrian conflict. we have some global and arab interests clashing

here and we all understand that what we don't understand is where this clash will take us in the end but we can say one thing with certain about if the syrian conflict is resolved one way or another this will effect the situation in lebanon but this is the recent events in lebanon the murder of two shakes the situation in africa the detention of saudi malawi who was later released in tripoli all these events indicate that seven forces are not only trying to flare up a conflict they want to start a wave of violence in the country one understand it but the big question is who stands to benefit from that. it's being done so that palestinians can become citizens of lebanon if lebanon is divided palestinians will eventually be able to become lebanese citizens but one who is trying to divide lebanon. i can ask you the same question external forces seek to control lebanon they seek to divide and

weaken all the countries surrounding israel in order to ensure israel's security. is based on the current situation in the region and the information we have cannot point the finger at somebody and say that they are interested in this scenario more than. anybody else. i can put it this way we've all heard this expression the arab spring but who has seen the fruit of the spring no one has egypt elected its president or has the spring ended almost the same thing is happening in tunisia and in yemen there's no fruit there's just this expression of the arab spring and i really think that what we see today is an israeli spring who will pose a threat to israel now and palestinians dying every day and no one protests before even if one palestinian was killed there was an outrage today three palestinians get killed or ten or twenty and nobody says anything there's not even any talk about differences within the palestinian movement. now and lebanon says that it

will only realign itself in defining its policies and will not take into consideration syria's internal conflict but some say that this is impossible as the geopolitical ties between the two countries are very strong what do you think about that but. let me ask you a question what will happen if lebanon pursues a policy that is based purely on its own interests where will such a policy getters in which we have a problem in the open part of the people support the current regime in syria and another part support the opposition but we as a state pursue our own policy we recognize the syrian government so as the minister of internal affairs and you know who should i support if a million people in lebanon are against the regime the minister too should be against the regime whom do we as the lebanese republic cooperate with in syria we cooperate with the syrian government at the un recognizes the syrian ambassador represents syria in the united nations what i'm saying is that we cooperate with

the government of a country that if there is regime change in syria we will cooperate with the new government lebanon recognizes syria as a nation as does the u.s. the syrian ambassador to the u.n. bashar. so far he has appealed to international organizations among other things offering evidence to the white terry on lebanese territory the lebanese president the prime minister and just south of all deny these allegations who say that while the idea. may be present in lebanon there are no grounds for terrorism or terrorists yet your defense minister says the terrorists including al qaeda cells may be present on happening could you please explain these differences in such an important issue. that i have personally met with the defense minister and we've cleared up this situation there was some misunderstanding regarding terminology what the president said on the issue is correct we meant that there are no al qaeda cells in lebanon but it is possible that individual members of this international

organization are present in our country but we don't have al qaeda camps or al qaida cells in lebanon. mr minister part of the repercussions of the syrian crisis may be avoided by demarcating the border between lebanon and syria. the demarcation of the border will not stop terrorists from crossing over into another country but the situation will be more transparent that's true the situation will be more transparent we should have had a proper border a long time ago. wealthy british style.
