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 the 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 their goal which is obviously. regime change 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 and this tending what's happened who was behind the killing

in the village in the central province of hama and actually how many people died have been hopes that the u.n. more interest will be able to shed light on the incident on friday the finally managed to make to the scene of the massacre but what we're hearing from them. is that the site has been cleared up and they've only discovered some traces and evidences of clashes and recent fighting such as currington destroyed houses last massacre in the village of pool was used by the free syrian army the biggest and most well armed opposition group here 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 we are still seeing diplomatic diplomatic efforts to. this conflict here in syria russia still committed to the u.n. peace. planned and now actively pursue invasion and back idea of setting up an

international group to mediate a solution and this is something that nations back in raggles including being a strongly criticizing as they have already been kind of international 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 how to act on syria and how to end the violence here in a country where you can actually reporting there a prominent british journalist who has just returned from syria claims rebel set him up to be killed by the syrian army alex thomson from channel four news described r t what he calls a stand pulled by opposition fighters in order to deal at propaganda blow to the acid regime. we would deliberately out of. a way which they the rebels you would. kill with go down the route which you just threw up but

we dropped them that we would go down the route. we turned them down the road was blocked that was a road block if. there was nobody around and about going to court to do is going to be around in a pretty. strong it definitely. dangerous situation i'm in no doubt but i did it deliberately my point. because you don't have to be very clever to work out. there is nobody going to be calling again. so to make your version for the rebels who are not it's. very obvious you know this is the war these things will be beat. well to get a latest updates on the conflict in syria i can had to a website or two dot com so let's have a look at what else is online for you. have nato forces in afghanistan personally

graves now reports it's unclear whether they can keep the momentum alive far from their dislike of the man of the help. it's been dubbed moscow's take on the globe who occupy movement. in america canada and around the globe we've seen protesters bending down in their thousands here they've never quite reach those numbers more people need to do these because most of them just come to us in the weekends and in the evenings with 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 but those with a 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 appear to mind 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 the rage a fusion of very different political forces will have national socialists a radical bolsheviks with a lot of people who just don't want to go or some people just want to have a party or so 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 survive nearly half

a year with mass peaceful demonstrations initially grabbing the public's attention hard to ignore some form has followed. but more recently the efforts to be. leading to a change of tactics swapping classes fit camping the stage fittings to reach after tweet. missed it let's take. a rest followed it many don't see the police but the real threat to the movies longevity of a city just to get on the leader is. without a leader any movement is doomed to fail there is a unique situation where there was just as there is presently no leader here. or would you do i have not seen any leader of that i can vote for myself but i hold of this movement that will result in the birth of a new smart balanced and you can do it leader of their development as a movement is something many will be watching intensely currently ranks in its infancy speech to convince

a nation let alone. the intense and twit's it will be needed to greece must still have for this hour shooting in the city find out why an unlikely hobby has taken the big apple by storm and 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. well know. the derivatives market well know. only god knows. i do think god has his money in a bank god is smarter than that. and how do you save your money the rainy day find out more and the resident very shortly here in our team. before the after is stony and security phillies have branded r.t.m. ammi of the state of correspondents in the baltics. has launched an investigation

and he decided to get to the bottom of why he was accused of carrying out and stony and rhetoric where the motion comes from and what it really means. my name is alexi . t. is eastern european bureau chief reporter now every time i travel to 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 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 capital to all and 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 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 when this list the police don't do anything. for example last year forty five minutes after i talked to one of archie's words you said i saw a parking fine on my car's windscreen it had been standing there for more than a year and then i saw me come to find among others to be blacklisted were russia's foreign minister almost every russian t.v. news station and a handful of us stoniest politicians some of whom were in fact jumps to our defense collins mayor said in a statement that accusing r.t.

of anti stone and propaganda made the country a laughing stock we asked his closest political ally parliament on the. as to why they risk their careers and decided to support us. why did the mayor and your party try to defend r t while personally rushing to the canal it was not only about your channel 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 a 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 on 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. but.

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 stone 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 store nor what consequences may i face but i along with media stone us 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 in the middle of june we're expecting a stoniest prime minister to produce a statement explaining the actions of the organization meanwhile found themselves on the blacklist in their home country are hoping that this practice will be then

a bullish look see russia r.t. reporting from tallinn. and in an hour's time we talk to foreign journalist david robb about examples of how the panel gone put its hands to hollywood script sent forces filmmakers to make changes. right here in los angeles a few miles from the u.c.l.a. campus there's a tall building on one entire floor as the film offices of the brink or air force army navy and the coast guard and they sit up there and they filmmakers who want military assistance give them their scripts they look at the scripts mark out what they think is they don't want to make suggestions on how to change the scripts to get approval then if they make a deal they sign a contract once they start shooting the film they have a military minder who actually comes onto the set to make sure that it's shot just the way it was agreed to be done and then before it's released to the public it has to be screened in washington d.c. for the generals and admirals i think the american people knew that their films

were being. sanitizing by the military and then prescreened for the for the wash and washing for the generals and admirals that they would be outraged. with the. technology innovation all the means to melamine from around russia we've got the future covered. hasn't been a thing yet on t.v.

. it is to get the maximum political impact. the material is worth. journalism we. we want to present. something you. did old started here. you're going to load the internet it's only my. blog you. choose your place. take your stuff. make your statement. spread the word. you can

stream. now egypt in age of thousands have flooded the capitals square calling for a ban for the next week's election runoff of. former prime minister for tatars are alarmed by fix close ties to the fall regime and the military and they believe his candidacy could be a threat to the revolution along with shafiq rally dozens of activists have marched on to where you are calling for the violence against women that number of assaults on females have risen dramatically since the start of the revolution with protestors blaming the military for the attacks human rights activists me says the achievements of the revolution are falling short of expectations. i think that definitely people did. expect to see mubarak's expression minister and ex minister

. and a muslim brotherhood candidate in in the second run for the elections in egypt but at the same time i do think that we should someone like feet in the same bus as morsi as corrected as someone like shit for example the military council has a huge influence on the 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 having elections before there is lucian when the work was in power is still the military it is integrated in all the institutions of the country and there are definitely part of the works machine so i think that they wouldn't allow you wouldn't know some resolution of a candidate or someone who is changing the status coupe to come into power through the elections. now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world seven un peacekeepers from this year have been killed in an ambush in ivory coast near its border with liberia they
