rarely huge antigovernment rally and then attacked one of the checkpoints of the syrian army here in the capital damascus and this is how the clashes started while official sources and this is something we're hearing from local media here in damascus is saying that that has been a terror attack organized by the rabble so again it's very hard to establish the truth but one thing is absolutely clear damascus. fifteen months of the conflict here in syria has most of the time remained under governmental forces control but what we have seen now is that the rebels are trying to indeed bring the fight straight to. door to achieve big goal which is obviously. regime change. well what's preventing in this case the un observers from making a conclusive report on the latest massacre. well it's been three days over these

things the news of all the second massacre. of the massacre the second message in the last two weeks emerged but so far there is no clear understanding what happened who was behind the killing in the village in the central province of hama and actually how many people died there's been hopes that the u.n. and more interest will be able to shed light on the incident on friday finally managed to make to the scene of the massacre but what we're hearing from them. is that the site has been cleared and they've only discovered some traces and evidences of clashes and recent fighting such as currington destroyed houses they haven't met people there as the has been abandoned and usually the home to around one hundred thirty people has been absolutely and t. by the time when the u.s. . morning tori's and today it's. and bodies haven't been discovered either it's

absolutely clear that such incidents are very dangerous and as they are threatening peace africa's in the region last massacre in the village of. houla was used by the free syrian army the biggest and the most well armed opposition group a are in the region as a pretext to withdraw from the international approved cease fire and to resume military operations against the government of course is so it's also complicated by. by the fact that the are more than two sides in this conflict at least three sides we have half we're going to mattresses just as they were just want to ask you very briefly what other efforts of meeting can solve the crisis but very briefly if you could apart from the un of course. while we are still seeing diplomatic diplomatic efforts to. these complicated syria

russia so committed to the u.n. peace plan and is now actively pursuing and backed idea of certain are an international group to mediate a solution and this is something. that nations back in raggles including the u.s. has strongly criticizing as they have already kind of international group friends of syria but they only deal with the opposition so as we can see the world is also divided and there is a lot of confusion not only inside syria but also outside on and how to act on syria and how to end the violence from the right i'm mary thanks very much indeed for bringing us the latest from damascus where you finish and there. a prominent british journalist who's just returned from syria claims rabble set him up to be killed by the syrian army alex thomson from channel four news described what he calls a stunt pulled by opposition fires in order to deal propaganda blow to the assad

regime. we would deliberate out of. a way which you say the rebels you would. kill to go down a route which looked dangerous to us but we we talked to them that we would go down the route. we turned them down the road was blocked but it was a road built if. there was nobody around and about the point of doing it of the vehicle around it it's pretty. strong and it would definitely be dangerous situation i'm sure you know down but i did it deliberately my point. was that you don't know the very clever to work for the better of any. syrian army are going to be an appalling blow again. so that i could be a shoo in for the rebels but with somebody that it's. very obvious you know this is

the war these things will be be done and you get all the latest updates on the conflict in syria had our website dot com so let's have a look at what else is online for you there they had of the u.s. forces in afghanistan personally apologize for the deaths of eighteen civilians in afghanistan over half of their women and children publicly acknowledging their killings for the first time. extraterrestrial presence or a failed missile launch find out what israeli saw high in their skies on r.t. dot com. and the russian law increasing fines for people taking part in protests that violate public order comes into force today demonstrators could now face penalties of more than seven thousand euros russia's opposition has been has been bubbling

with indignation ever since parliamentary elections in december last year but jake agrees reports it's unclear whether they can keep the momentum alive apart from their dislike of the man at the helm. it's been dubbed moscow's take on the globe who occupy movement. in america canada and around the globe we've seen protesters bedding down in their thousands here they've never quite reached those numbers for the people needed to do these because most of them just come to us in the weekends and in the evenings fair where the support and a continual game of cat and mouse with the city's police has taken its toll it's all keep our style protest in moscow was only started up a short time ago it's already is the poor seems to be dwindling for those with to come out and visibly show their support numbering fewer and fewer we're talking

about tens rather than hundreds more often than not and what's left is a hardcore few struggling to keep this movement alive like occupy elsewhere this has been organized online and epitomized by their encampment but that's about where the similarities end rather than demonstrating against perceived social inequality this is principally about one man in charge president vladimir putin is a stance that has won them support spurred by the backlash from disputed parliamentary elections but it's a faction that has little else to agree on with him i can go on the rate of fusion of very different political forces will have national socialist a radical bolsheviks over here a lot of people who just don't want to look some people just want to have a party you saw in this case when you have this fusion of very different political forces it's next to impossible for them to. have any demands symbolized by

white ribbons the movement survived nearly half a year with mass peaceful demonstrations initially grabbing the public's attention hard to ignore some electoral reform has followed. but more recently the effort to be marred by violence leading to a change of tactics swapping classes for camping the stage shiftings to reach after tweet prominent activist alexina valmy arrests have followed but many don't see the police as the real threat to the movement's longevity of a civic disadvantages and a leader is always required as without a leader any movement is doomed to fail there is a unique situation here though not as there is presently no leader here. i wouldn't go to protest and i have not seen any leader that i can vote for myself but i hope that this movement will result in the birth of a new smart balanced and you candid leader their development as

a movement is something many will be watching intensely currently it still ranks in its infancy finding its feet but to convince a nation let alone support is more intense and twists it will be needed to greece must. also had for the sour shooting in the city find out why it likely harvey has taken the big apple by storm pan has women flocking to the shooting range in droves and do you trust your bank. i do so what do you trust about them the mortgages they're investing in. the derivatives market well now. only god knows this. do you think god has his money in a bank god is smarter than that. and how do you save your mind for a rainy day i find find out more in less than five minutes in our president program. a study on security police have branded r t an enemy of the state

blacklisting it and accusing its report of carrying out a story and rhetoric our correspondent in the baltics i was here have ski investigates where the motion comes from and what it really means. my name is alexia artie's eastern european bureau chief reporter now every time i travel to a story i always enjoy the wonderful hospitality the food and the sightseeing of this baltic country on the journalism point of view over the past several years i've produced several stories on social and economic issues here but i never expected that my reports from a store near would be regarded by some as a threat to national security. every poor to buy the country's security police stated that my last three stories had an estonian tone and had nothing to do with the reality that is despite the fact these reports and rising neo nazis and a punitive new language law and the economic problems in the country featured prominent politicians and think tanks we went to the capitol tallent to investigate

what this was all about finding myself on that list certainly came as a big surprise until i managed to speak to some of the locals who say that being there is nothing out of the ordinary here is andré has also been the victim of the security police for several years now. and the how long have you been on that list . for three years now and this is connected to my work as a producer for russian channels basically people who are somehow connected to russia get on this list the police don't do anything bad to only minor things for example last year forty five minutes after i talked to one of our chief producers on the phone i saw a parking fine on my car's windscreen it had been standing there for more than a year and then i suddenly got a fine among others to be blacklisted were russia's foreign minister almost every russian t.v. news station and a handful of us stoniest top politicians some of whom were in fact jumped to our

defense collins mayor said in a statement that accusing r.t. of anti is stony and propaganda made the country a laughing stock we asked his closest political ally parliament member ya know. as to why they risk their careers and decided to support us but what would you. know why did the mayor and your party try to defend r t while personally rushing to the canal it was not only about your can we believe this is undemocratic what gives them a right to label the media as safe and unsafe and putting black stains in certain people's reputations when i got on the very same list i told my mother about it she's old and she remembers soviet repression very well too upon hearing this news she nearly fainted and i had to call a doctor. to get says i decided to go straight to the security police i was stalled their press officer was out of town but they gave me his telephone number i

called and he told me i had to address my questions by email. i did but all i got in response was this. it seems that you haven't read our annual reviews they're public for everyone and the english translations can be found on our web page we have grown used to a stony as officials denying us interviews so this response was no surprise i did not receive any explanation neither as to why my work is considered offensive in a stone nor what consequences may face but i along with many a stone years on the blacklist hope that this mystery will soon be resolved with so many questions being asked domestically about the actions of the security police and the country's leadership is now under severe pressure to deliver some answers in the middle of june we're expecting a stoniest prime minister to produce a statement explaining the actions of the organizations meanwhile found themselves

on the blacklist in their home country are hoping that this practice will be then abolished a look see russia r.t. reporting from tallinn in a story. and money makes the world go round when high yield savings rates start dropping that we have to save our money in the prior way or simply hide it in a sock or own resident or harvest gave the painting on the streets the big apple. do you trust your bank with your money this week let's talk about that the banks that we have all money on is like they all are doing in swiss francs most of it so this is like save us currency at the moment in europe so we're feeling pretty good we're on the good side you and you're here in new york laughing at us with their silly dollars not really well. compared to the your it's getting stronger and
