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 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 is tending what happened who was behind the killing in the village in the central province of hama and actually how many people died there

when hopes that the u.n. more interest will be able to shed light on the incident on friday he finally managed to make aides 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 of evidences of clashes and recent fighting such as current and destroyed houses last massacre in the village of pool was used by the free syrian army the biggest and the most well armed opposition group here in the region as a pretext to withdraw from the internationally approved cease fire and to resume military operations against the government of course is what we are still seeing diplomatic diplomatic efforts to. this conflict here in syria russia so committed to the u.n. peace plan and is now. actively pursuing

a and back idea of such an offer an international group to mediate a solution and this is something that nations back in radicals including being raza 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 how to act on syria and how to end the violence here in the country we have national reporting there a prominent british journalist has just returned from syria claims rebels set him up to be killed by the syrian army alex thomson from channel four news described r.t. what he calls a stunt pulled by opposition fighters in order to deal propaganda blow to the ousted regime. we would deliberately out of the. way we play the rebels you would. kill the go down the route which dangerous to

us but we talked to them that we would go down the route. we turned them down the road was blocked but with a robot if. there was nobody around and about going to court to do is going to be a round it's pretty far as one room with you to try it it would definitely be dangerous situation. you know down but i did it deliberately my point. was that you don't have to be very clever to work for the good of any journalist. syrian army are going to be calling bro again. so that i could be a shoo in for the rebels who would come by that it's. very obvious you know this is the war these things will be be done. now to get all the latest updates on the conflict in syria you can had to our website r.t. dot com so let's have a look at what else is on the line for you today we have nato forces in afghanistan

personally apologize for the deaths of eight hundred civilians in afghanistan over half of them women and children publicly acknowledging their killings for the first time. extraterrestrial presence or a missile launch find out what israelis saw high in their skies on our t.v. dot com. it's either seven thousand euros or community service that's what russians will now be slapped with for a violating public order at a demonstration president bush has signed a bill into law yesterday says it's aimed at shielding citizens from radicalism and is in line with european norms russia's opposition has been getting more vocal over the past months but as jacob graves reports it's on a clear whether they can keep their moment of alive. it's been dubbed moscow's

take on the globe who occupy movement but lost 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 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 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 silicon borne the rage a fusion of very different political forces which have national socialists have already called bolsheviks with a lot of people who just don't want to log some people just want to have a party you saw in this case when you have these fusion or 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 efforts of

the marred by violence leading to a change of tactics swapping classes for camping the stage shiftings to reach after tweet from an 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 just examples and a leader is always required as without a leader any movement is doomed to fail there is a unique situation here though as there is presently no leader here. are willing to push 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 canada 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 than tents and twits it will be needed if you greece must go. now so i have read this hour here on our team shooting in the city

you know why likely 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 know what do you trust about the mortgages they're investing in. well know. the derivatives market well now what's going to have the holy god knows that. you think god has his money in a bank god is smarter than that. and how do you save your money for a day to day find out more and the resident shortly. after studying security philly's have branded r t an enemy of the state house correspondents in the baltics always here cesky has launched an investigation he decided to get to the bottom of why he was accused of carrying out anti stoney and rhetoric 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 from 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. reported by the country's security police stated that my last three stories had an anti estonian tone and had nothing to do with 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 tal in 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 andrei 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 all 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 again the.

as to why they risk their careers and decided to support us when we deal of. yano why did the mayor and your party try to defend our tea while person in washington acknowledge 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 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 interview 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 i 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 those found themselves on the blacklist in their home country are hoping that this practice will be then abolished let's see russia. reporting from tallinn in a store. and in city minutes time we'll talk to a foreign journalist rob about examples of how the pentagon put its hands to

hollywood scripts and forces filmmakers to make changes. right here in los angeles the few miles from the u.c.l.a. campus there is a tall building on one entire floor as the film layers and 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 and make suggestions on how to change the scripts to get approval that if they make a deal they sign a contract once they start shooting the film they have a military minder who actually comes on to 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. sanitized by the military and then prescreen for the for the wash in

washington for the generals and admirals that they would be outraged. wealthy british signs on. the. market why not.

find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines two kinds of reports. if you're followed up on my desk. back and if i can part of. it goes back to a time when people would like out of the forces in the wild west and pick up these future dates and putting them into the share of the prosecution go looking like company may follow. me when they go out there. and you have to hope that nothing bad. will it. but we're chasing killers and you gotta keep that. my father said to me the deal please. do not you prefer we can be killed too you know they should be in the head

i'm going to die. and. once you hunted minute i'd never go back done anything else. watching our team in age of thousands half a lot of the capitals to hear your square calling for a ban from next week's election runoff feet hosni mubarak's former prime minister protestors are alarmed by shafiq 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 top we're calling for the ana violence against women the 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 the mahdi army says the achievements of the revolution are falling short of expectations. i think that definitely people didn't expect to see mubarak's expression minister and minister

over. and a muslim brotherhood candidate in in the second run for the elections in egypt but at the same time i've been saying that we should someone like that which if it in the same must get as morsi there now as corrected as someone like should see it for example the middle to council has a huge influence on the entire process the elections is under their supervision and by saying that's having any kind of elections with the military council in power in egypt has no difference between having elections before there is mention when we worked was in power still the military is integrated in all the institutions of the country and they're definitely part of the works machine so i think that they wouldn't allow it he wouldn't know some revolutionary candidate or someone who is changing the status quo to come into power through the elections. now to go to some other stories from around. the world's seven u.n. peacekeepers from they share have been killed in an ambush in iran coast near its
