a call from local residents in in one of these villages asking for help after militants took over the village and immediately after these call they launched this operation and after they entered the village they discovered nine bodies of civilians and it's actually also contradicts what the rebels are reporting about death told the most extreme doffed death toll given so far stones that's almost one hundred dad and this is the figure that's been picked up by almost all the international media who can hear it from new york from the u.n. security council that both. sides are in general ban ki-moon and special envoy to syria coffee and i have been calling on international community to put more pressure on damascus and i had a sad that his peace plan is not being implemented although these time stressing that it's not being implemented by both sides and both sides both ground and syrian government are responsible for what's going on at the same time emphasizing this is

. the responsibility of the syrian authorities to and the violence in their country both u.s. and international officials have recognized that the reason a third force operating here in syria and it's not just clear who exactly is behind what it contains and carved into hard is the truth of the matter is as you know. the position groups only. to. be clear. which to us is a very dangerous development to really go into productive development coffin and sizes and the fate of the syrian president bashar assad has to be decided by syrian people and this is something that russia and china are also supporting. very much against any kind of intervention other nations that are backing rebels they are already interfering into syria is internal affairs and not only syria is plain and

goals by the constant but also the international community is shaken by the conflict and is very much divided and there is no compromise saying that. the wait is almost over for millions of football fans across europe as the euro twenty twelve poland kicks off in warsaw where the championship hosted jointly by poland and ukraine has attracted criticism for both human rights violations as well as claims of racism most recently from the dutch national team kate partridge. the issue as you say is not really about sports and football it's about politics because the u.k. governments have joined the french government in signing that they will boycott the tournament during the group stages this is due to the alleged mistreatment of the imprisoned former prime minister yulia timoshenko. well the u.k. government as i say on the back of the french government and other high profile e.u. withdrawals and threatened withdrawals over the alleged mistreatment the situation

here is not really just about political controversies that seem to be dogging this tournament but also about social issues and as you say racism has become a particular issue a dutch team based not in ukraine they're braced in krakow in poland just before they come into play their game and they have they got their training session and apparently they were subjected to racist abuse while they were on the pitch which is a sad incident on the reports after they went to see auschwitz but racism is particularly a topic in england because last week there was broadcast a program that on the b.b.c. a timer on the program called stadiums of hate which highlighted club level particular problems with racism and anti-semitism in poland and ukraine and these pictures were showing to the england former captain and defender salt campbell and he looked at these pictures and said that he and the england fan of black all mixed race he would he would not go to these two eastern europe he said he wouldn't risk it for fear of coming back in the coffin of the referee has the right to stop the game should any player suffer any kind of abuse and not just have been stopped for

the has been a president during the qualifying games where italy played serbia in general in october two thousand and ten and after severe found trouble not to study the race nature of its serious trouble the referee decided to stop the match and this to me were awarded a three nil victory ukraine and poland have had five years to prepare for the have been problems these have been reported there's been delays over stadiums and infrastructure there are also problems reported about hoteliers in ukraine that prices ten. balding crease well this didn't impress the say you a for president michel platini he caught some of these hoteliers robbers he didn't mince his words but the watchword here is ukrainian hospitality they want this tournament to remain to be remembered as one that was his first of all everybody is welcome of all nations all creates and to enjoy the football and the football or be the priority not the political issues not the social issues the. one that hasn't all been about football in the polish town of lords

a group of some fifty hooligans reportedly attacked foreign firms in a bar ahead of the opening of the tournament local polish thugs allegedly punched english speaking supporters but bar owners also said a few of those attacked were russian polish police broke up the fight but no rest for made the victims were left with cuts and bruises no serious injuries were reported it's feared who in the near nazi assaults could undermine the championship . spain is on the edge of a financial abyss as sources claim it could ask for a bailout as early as this evening the credit score has been slashed wanted to bring costs soared close to the level that forced greece portugal and ireland to seek risky barters eurozone powerhouses try to keep the single currency afloat one town is banking on the past to turn a profit forty's laura smith reports. it's a blast from the past as this customer uses the irish punt to pay for some everyday purchases in the town of closeness arlen's joined the euro from the get go in two

a huge influence on the entire process the elections is under their supervision and icing deaths having any kind of elections with the military council in power in egypt has no difference between have an elections before there is lucian work was in power so the military is and to is integrated in the whole the institutions of the country and they're definitely part of the work tsushima so i think that they wouldn't allow they wouldn't allow some resolution a candidate or someone who is changing the status quo to come into power through the elections. last general the country is plunging to rest with numerous protests and demonstrations against the ruling army and demands for change but while politicians are locked in a power struggle they're paying little attention to the problems and needs of the people in egypt as the reports it took this fall the forty seven years to accumulate his wealth and just one week to lose

a third of it. one morning opened this place and found three buffalo lying down they wouldn't eat or drink anything all the houses in this village all the farmers here lost cattle within a month a foot in mouth disease killed thousands of cattle buffalo sheep and other livestock across egypt in march the united nations declared it a catastrophe and warned the epidemic could threaten human food supplies far and wide but egypt and politicians were too busy with the revolution to take much notice that all that was done by the government did not do anything for us our animals are dying one by one and no one does anything i use low cost egypt and say the situation has been worsened by a climate of corruption. in government employees. and we saw corruption he's very poor these three business being mean to be free to do anything when it was found out

a new strain on the disease had hit egypt it seemed heart rate soaring and prices rocketing people got afraid and stopped buying meat choosing instated to eat chicken and fish this pushed the price of poultry up by more than fifty percent while the cost of meat remained the same hussein says he's lost sixty percent of his business and is struggling to make ends meet the. things keep getting worse no one's buying from me more people are waiting to hear if they can trust him a lot. but they might be waiting a while if to very formal and this has never affected the state is a state that is seen all corrupt. or only the people who show difference don't know what it is worth to fight us as a protest by the i mean bureaucracy has never changed. doctors have

taken to the streets to protest against a government budget proposal that allocates less than five percent of spending to the health sector but their despondent priorities are not private. the previous regimes. perhaps the security regime security is the paramount most important issue for them too they spend. a lot of money on there was a lot of news holes our taxes disappear there were a lot of corruption and with all this what is left for actually improvement of services. and so behind the country's political jockeying is an unfolding public health disaster with potentially much larger implications for egypt and what happens on the political front policy r.t. . demonstrators breaking the protest regulations here in russia will now have to

pay higher fines after a lengthy parliamentary debate president putin has signed the bill into law now people guilty of violations could face penalties of around seven thousand euros ortiz fans the details. now it's official that the president has signed it the fines for violating the rules of taking part in mass rallies have been significantly increased from the seventy year olds earlier up to seven thousand euros now or up to two hundred hours of community service for average citizens and up to fourteen thousand euros for officials said despite criticism from the opposition the president clinton said that he thinks this law will be corresponds with washington european standards and is aimed at protecting citizens from the radicals just to remind you of the initial draft of this law was introduced after a large broad this rally in moscow ended with clashes between some of the protesters and the police we've seen. pieces of concrete flying around and small

needs any injuries on both sides and also president putin added that he's going to monitor how this all works out he's waiting for comments from judges and said that it is possible that the law will get back into paul and in the future for a possible amendment see if we just compare the figures of the fines with some of the western european countries then the penalties and the fines they're all often much more severe for example let's look at france where the maximum five fine could reach forty five thousand euros or even up to three years of the imprisonment fifteen thousand euros in germany or even up to seventy five thousand euros in switzerland so obviously there are much higher than the ones which have been just fixed now by this new rule of law in russia and also if we just study the actions and the behavior of the of the audience at protests rallies since the police were

largely criticized after that all large rally which ended in violence in moscow well often if you look at how the student protests were dispersed in canada last month or some of the people i can. see in the united states often you see in the west. much more aggressively very what we see at some of the protest rallies here in russia. you go to prison over there reporting from central moscow twenty minutes past the hour now let's check out some other international news in brief and wild update this hour a bomb attack scaring government the doctors called in and wounded dozens in northwest pakistan the vehicle was near the city of peshawar when the bomb hidden inside it exploded the blast was the latest reminder of active militancy in the region despite a significant drop in violence over the past years no group has yet said it's behind the attack. japan's prime minister has said that two nuclear reactors in active since the fukushima disaster must be restarted the move will help to protect
